Mom asked. + +"I want pepperoni pizza, please!" Ben said. + +Mom nodded and smiled. She leaned over to Dad and whispered something. Dad nodded and smiled too. He waved at a man who wore a white hat and a red shirt. The man came to their table and took their order. + +"Hello, I am Tony. I make the pizza here. What can I get for you?" the man said. + +Mom told him what they wanted. Tony wrote it down on a paper. He said he would make their pizza very fast and very yummy. + +"Thank you, Tony!" Sara and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your pizza!" Tony said. He went back to the kitchen. + +Sara and Ben waited for their pizza. They were very hungry. They looked around the pizza place. They saw many people eating pizza. They saw a long line of people waiting to order pizza. They saw a big oven where Tony put the pizza. They smelled the cheese and the sauce. + +"Look, our pizza is ready!" Dad said. He pointed to Tony, who brought a big tray with two pizzas on it. He put the tray on their table and gave them plates and napkins. + +"Here you go, cheese pizza for Sara, and pepperoni pizza for Ben. And a salad for Mom and Dad. Enjoy your meal!" Tony said. + +"Thank you, Tony!" Sara and Ben said again. + +They took a slice of pizza and bit into it. It was hot and cheesy and delicious. They ate and ate until they were full.

Anna wanted to feed the ducks, but Ben wanted to catch the fish. + +"Look, Ben, a shiny fish!" Anna said, pointing to the water. "Can we give it some bread?" + +"No, Anna, I want to dive and grab it!" Ben said, taking off his shoes and socks. He ran to the edge of the pond and jumped in. + +But Ben was clumsy. He did not dive well. He splashed and coughed and scared the fish away. He also got his clothes wet and dirty. + +Anna laughed and shook her head. She took out a velvet bag from her pocket. It had some bread crumbs inside. She threw some to the ducks and they came closer. They quacked and nibbled the bread. + +"Anna, help me!" Ben cried, trying to get out of the pond. "I'm cold and wet and muddy!" + +Anna walked to Ben and gave him her hand. She pulled him out of the pond and wrapped him in her velvet bag. She hugged him and said, "Next time, Ben, don't be so silly. Ducks are nicer than fish." +Tom and Mia love to play with their toy rockets. They pretend they are astronauts and fly to space. They make noises like zoom and beep and blast off. + +One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They ask their mom if they can use it. She says yes, but be careful. They take the box to their room and decorate it with stickers and crayons. They make a window and a door and a control panel. + +They climb inside the box and close the door. They pretend they are in a real rocket. They count down from ten and press a button. They imagine they speed up and leave the earth. They see stars and planets and comets. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says, pointing to a shiny ring around a big ball. "That is Saturn. It has many rings." + +"Can we go there?" Mia asks, excited. + +"Sure, why not?" Tom says. "We are lucky. We can go anywhere we want in space." + +They turn the box and pretend they fly to Saturn. They see the rings up close and try to touch them. They laugh and have fun. They are happy to play in space. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is a pit. They want to know what is in the pit. + +"Let's watch the pit," Sam says. "Maybe we can see something." + +"Okay," Lily says. "But be careful. The pit is deep and dark." + +They go near the pit and look inside. They see nothing but dirt and rocks. They are bored. + +"Let's go play something else," Lily says. "The pit is not fun." + +"Wait," Sam says. "I see something. It is moving. It is gray. It is big. It is a..." + +Before Sam can finish, a loud roar comes from the pit. It is a bear. A gray bear. The bear is angry. It does not like Sam and Lily watching the pit. + +"Run!" Sam shouts. "The pit has a bear!" + +Sam and Lily run away from the pit. They are scared. They do not watch the pit anymore. They go to their homes and tell their moms and dads about the pit and the bear. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They saw a big ladder leaning on the wall of the house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the roof. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some birds or stars!" + +Lily nodded. She was ready for an adventure. They ran to the ladder and grabbed the lowest rung. They looked up and saw how high it was. + +"Wow, it's so tall!" Lily said. "Are you scared, Ben?" + +Ben shook his head. He was brave. He started to climb the ladder, one step at a time. Lily followed him. They observed everything around them. They saw the flowers, the trees, the fence, and the sky. + +They reached the top of the ladder and peeked over the edge of the roof. They saw a big chimney, some shingles, and a cat. + +"Look, a cat!" Ben said. "It's sleeping on the roof!" + +Lily smiled. She liked cats. She reached out her hand to pet it. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben said. "Don't fall off the roof!" + +But it was too late. The cat woke up and hissed. It scratched Lily's hand and ran away. Lily cried out and lost her balance. She fell off the roof and landed on the grass. + +Ben gasped. He was scared. He climbed down the ladder as fast as he could. He ran to Lily and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +Lily sobbed. She was hurt. She showed Ben her hand. It was bleeding. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "It hurts, Ben, it hurts!" + +Ben felt sorry. He didn't mean to make Lily cry. He looked around and saw their mom coming out of the house. She heard the noise and saw what happened. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why did you climb the ladder? That's very dangerous!" + +Ben and Lily looked at Mom. They knew they were in trouble. They lowered their heads and said nothing. + +Mom sighed. She was angry and worried. She picked up Lily and carried her inside. She cleaned her wound and put a band-aid on it. She gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Are you feeling better, Lily?" Mom asked. "I'm sorry the cat hurt you. But you shouldn't have climbed the ladder. That's not a toy. That's for grown-ups only. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was sorry too. She said sorry to Mom and to Ben. + +Mom smiled. She was glad Lily was okay. She looked at Ben and said, "And you, Ben, you should know better. You're the big brother. You should take care of Lily, not lead her into trouble. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He understood. He was sorry too. He said sorry to Mom and to Lily. + +Mom hugged them both. She was proud of them for saying sorry. She said, "It's okay. I love you both. But next time, please listen to me and stay away from the ladder. Okay?" + +Ben and Lily said okay. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. Something safe and fun. Like a ball or a book. They never climbed the ladder again. +Tim had a lizard as a pet. He liked to keep it in a glass box with some rocks and plants. He named his lizard Leo. Leo was green and had a long tail. Tim liked to watch Leo run and climb and hide. + +One day, Tim's friend Sam came to visit. Sam wanted to play with Leo. He took Leo out of the box and held him in his hand. He tried to talk to Leo, but Leo did not answer. He shook Leo, but Leo did not move. He shouted at Leo, but Leo did not hear. + +"Leo is deaf!" Sam said. "He can't hear anything. He is a bad pet. You should get a dog or a cat. They can hear and bark and meow." + +Tim felt sad and angry. He took Leo back from Sam and put him in the box. He hugged Leo and whispered in his ear. + +"Leo is not deaf. He is a lizard. Lizards don't talk or listen like dogs or cats. They have their own way of living. Leo is a good pet. He is my friend. I love him and he loves me." + +Sam did not understand. He thought Tim was silly. He left and did not come back. Tim did not care. He was happy with Leo. He kept Leo as his pet and his friend. He and Leo had fun together. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their dad's things. One day, they found his big black mustache in a drawer. They thought it was funny and wanted to try it on. + +"Let's pretend we are grown-ups with mustaches," Sam said. He put the mustache on his face and looked in the mirror. "I look like a pirate!" + +"Me too, me too!" Tom said. He grabbed the mustache from Sam and stuck it on his face. "I look like a cowboy!" + +They ran around the house, making noises and having fun. They did not see their dad come home from work. He was very tired and hungry. He went to his bedroom to change his clothes and look for his mustache. + +He opened the drawer and saw that his mustache was gone. He was very angry and sad. He loved his mustache. It made him feel handsome and strong. He looked for it everywhere, but he could not find it. He felt very poor without his mustache. + +He heard some laughter from the living room. He followed the sound and saw Sam and Tom playing with his mustache. They were having a tea party with their stuffed animals. They did not notice their dad. + +"Hello, boys," he said in a loud voice. "What are you doing with my mustache?" + +Sam and Tom jumped and turned around. They saw their dad's face. He looked very mad and sad. They felt very scared and sorry. + +"We are sorry, dad," Sam said. "We just wanted to play. We did not mean to take your mustache." + +"Please give it back to me," dad said. "It is mine. I need it. It is not a toy." + +Sam and Tom took the mustache off their faces and gave it back to their dad. They hugged him and said they were sorry again. They said they loved him and his mustache. + +Dad smiled and hugged them back. He said he loved them too. He said he was not mad anymore, but they should not play with his things without asking. He said they could play with his mustache sometimes, but they had to return it to him. + +They agreed and said they would. They asked him if he wanted to join their tea party. He said he would. He put his mustache back on his face and sat down with them. They had a nice time together. They laughed and talked and drank pretend tea. They forgot about their troubles and enjoyed their family. +Lily liked to sing and dance. She wanted to be on the big stage with the bright lights. She saw a sign that said "Talent Show". She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Sure, honey, but we need to find you a nice dress to wear," her mom said. + +They went to the store and looked at many dresses. Some were red, some were blue, some had flowers, some had stars. Lily liked a pink dress with sparkles. But it was too much money. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't buy this one. It's not cheap. It's very expensive," her mom said. + +Lily was sad. She wanted the pink dress. She saw another dress that was cheap. It was green and had a big zip on the back. It was not pretty. But it was the only one they could afford. + +"Okay, honey, let's try this one," her mom said. + +They went to the dressing room and Lily put on the green dress. She looked in the mirror and made a face. She did not like it. She felt the zip on her back. She had an idea. + +She zipped the zip all the way down and took off the green dress. She turned it inside out and put it back on. She zipped the zip all the way up. She looked in the mirror again and smiled. The inside of the dress was pink and had sparkles. + +"Wow, honey, you are so clever! You made a new dress!" her mom said. + +Lily was happy. She had a pink dress with sparkles. She was ready to go to the talent show and be on the big stage. She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. She hoped she would win a prize. +Mia loves pasta. She likes to eat it with cheese and tomato sauce. She likes to twirl it with her fork and slurp it with her mouth. She likes to share it with her furry friend, Max. Max is a big brown dog who lives with Mia and her family. + +One day, Mia's mom makes pasta for lunch. She puts some in a bowl for Mia and some in a plate for Max. She says, "Here you go, Mia. Here you go, Max. Enjoy your pasta." + +Mia says, "Thank you, mom." She takes her bowl and goes to the living room. She sits on the floor and puts her bowl on the coffee table. Max follows her and sits next to her. He looks at her bowl and licks his lips. + +Mia says, "No, Max. This is my pasta. You have your own plate. Go eat your plate." She points to the kitchen. + +Max whines and nudges her bowl with his nose. He wants to eat Mia's pasta. He thinks it smells better than his plate. He insists on having some of her pasta. + +Mia says, "No, Max. Stop it. You are being naughty. You have to eat your own food. Mom said so." She pushes his nose away from her bowl. + +Max barks and jumps on the coffee table. He knocks over Mia's bowl and spills the pasta on the floor. He starts to eat the pasta from the floor. + +Mia cries and says, "Max, no! You are a bad dog. You made a mess. You took my pasta. I don't like you anymore." She runs to her mom and hugs her. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the pasta on the floor and Max eating it. She says, "Oh, no. What happened here? Max, you are in trouble. You have to go to your bed. Mia, I'm sorry. I'll make you some more pasta. Don't be sad." + +Mia says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love pasta. But I don't love Max. He is a mean dog." + +Mom says, "I know, Mia. But Max loves you. He just doesn't know how to share. He is a furry dog, not a human. He needs to learn some manners. Maybe you can teach him later. But for now, let's go to the kitchen and have some more pasta. OK?" + +Mia says, "OK, mom. But only if Max says sorry." + +Mom says, "OK, Mia. I'm sure he will. Come on, let's go." She takes Mia's hand and leads her to the kitchen. + +Max looks at them and feels sorry. He knows he did something wrong. He wants to say sorry to Mia. He wants to be her friend again. He follows them to the kitchen and wags his tail. He hopes Mia will forgive him. He loves pasta, but he loves Mia more. +Sara was restless. She wanted to play with her friends, but they were all busy. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon. She had an idea. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, can I invite Lily and Ben for lunch? They are my best friends. Please, please, please!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Sara. That sounds like fun. But you have to help me set the table and make some sandwiches. Can you do that?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I can do that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +She grabbed the phone and called Lily and Ben. They were happy to hear from her and said they would come over soon. Sara was excited. She helped Mom with the table and the sandwiches. She put some stickers and crayons on the table for them to draw. + +Soon, the doorbell rang. It was Lily and Ben. Sara ran to the door and hugged them. She said, "Hi, Lily. Hi, Ben. I'm so glad you came. Come on, let's have lunch and play!" + +They followed Sara to the kitchen and sat down at the table. They ate the sandwiches and drank some juice. They talked and laughed and shared stories. They drew some pictures and put them on the fridge. They had a lot of fun. + +Sara was not restless anymore. She was happy. She had invited her best friends for lunch and they had a great time. She thanked Mom for letting her do that. She said, "Mom, you are the best. I love you." + +Mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a very good girl. And you have very nice friends." +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and make things with beads. One day, Sara found a big box of beads in her mom's closet. She was very happy. She wanted to make a bracelet for Lily. + +She took out many beads of different colors and shapes. She started to count them. "One, two, three, four, five..." She wanted to make a long and pretty bracelet. She put the beads on a string. She made a knot at the end. + +She ran to Lily's house with the bracelet. She knocked on the door. Lily opened it. She saw the bracelet in Sara's hand. She smiled. She thought it was a gift for her. + +"Look, Lily, I made this for you!" Sara said. She gave the bracelet to Lily. + +Lily took the bracelet. She looked at it. She did not like it. She thought it was ugly. It had too many beads. They were not the same size or color. The string was loose and the knot was big. She did not want to wear it. + +"Thank you, Sara, but I don't like it," Lily said. She gave the bracelet back to Sara. + +Sara was sad. She did not understand. She thought the bracelet was beautiful. She had counted the beads and worked hard to make it. She felt like crying. + +"Why don't you like it, Lily? I made it for you!" Sara said. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, but it's ugly. It's too long and messy. I like simple and neat bracelets. Like this one." Lily showed Sara her own bracelet. It had only three beads. They were the same color and shape. The string was tight and the knot was small. + +Sara looked at Lily's bracelet. She did not like it. She thought it was boring. It had too few beads. They were not different or fun. The string was stiff and the knot was tiny. + +"I don't like your bracelet, Lily. It's too short and plain. I like long and pretty bracelets. Like this one." Sara showed Lily her own bracelet. It had many beads. They were different and fun. The string was loose and the knot was big. + +Lily and Sara looked at each other. They realized they had different tastes. They did not agree on what was beautiful. They did not want to hurt each other's feelings. But they did not want to wear each other's bracelets. + +They decided to play with something else. They put the bracelets away. They took out their dolls and had a tea party. They were still best friends. They learned to respect each other's choices. They did not count the beads anymore. They counted the smiles. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But they did not like the big dog that lived near the park. The dog was mean and loud and chased them sometimes. + +One day, the dog saw them and ran towards them. Tom and Lily were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught up with them. He barked and growled and showed his teeth. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Tom shouted. He picked up a stick and tried to hit the dog. But the dog was strong and bit the stick. The stick broke and the dog bit Tom's hand. Tom cried out in pain. The dog's bite was bitter and hurt a lot. + +Lily saw what happened and ran to help Tom. She saw a guard near the park gate. He wore a hat and a badge and had a whistle. Lily ran to him and said, "Help, help! The dog is biting Tom!" + +The guard heard Lily and blew his whistle. He ran to the dog and shouted, "Stop, stop! Let go of the boy!" He grabbed the dog's collar and pulled him away from Tom. The dog tried to resist, but the guard was stronger. He tied the dog to a fence and called for help. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and thanked the guard. The guard said, "You're welcome, kids. Are you okay?" He looked at Tom's hand and said, "You need to see a doctor. That bite looks bad." He took them to his car and drove them to the hospital. Tom and Lily were brave and did not cry. They hoped the dog would learn to be nice and not bite again. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket on a bench. It had many muffins inside. They smelled good. + +"Who left these muffins here?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Ben said. + +"Can we have one?" Lily asked. + +Ben shrugged. He did not know if it was right or wrong to take a muffin. He was hungry. + +"Maybe we can ask someone," he said. + +They looked around. They saw a man with a dog. They saw a woman with a bike. They saw a boy with a ball. But they did not see anyone who looked like they owned the basket. + +"Maybe they are gone," Lily said. + +"Maybe they don't mind," Ben said. + +They walked to the bench. They reached for a muffin. They were cold. They did not look very fresh. + +"Yuck," Lily said. + +"Yuck," Ben said. + +They put the muffin back. They did not want it anymore. + +"Let's go play," Lily said. + +"Let's go play," Ben said. + +They ran to the slide. They forgot about the muffins. They had more fun. +Sam and his dog Spot liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and chased a ball. Sometimes they got wet from the sprinklers or the pond. Then they would shake and roll on the grass to dry off. + +One day, Sam saw a big sign in the park. It had many words on it. Sam could not read all the words, but he knew some of them. He saw the word "dry" and the word "message". He wondered what the sign said. + +He asked his dog Spot, "Can you read this sign, Spot? What does it say?" Spot looked at the sign and barked. He wagged his tail and licked Sam's face. Sam smiled and hugged Spot. He said, "You are a loyal friend, Spot. You always make me happy." + +Sam and Spot did not know that the sign said, "Keep off the grass. It is dry and needs water. Thank you for your message of care." But they did not need to know. They had each other and they had fun. They left the park and went home, happy and dry. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were their pistols. They pretended to be cowboys and robbers, and shot at each other with their pistols. + +One day, Sam had a new idea. He found some tape and a flashlight in the garage. He decided to attach the flashlight to his pistol, to make it look like a laser. He thought he would surprise Tom with his new weapon. + +He went to the backyard, where Tom was waiting for him. "Ready to play, Tom?" he asked. + +"Ready, Sam," Tom said. He did not see the flashlight on Sam's pistol. + +Sam smiled and turned on the flashlight. He pointed it at Tom and said, "Bang, bang, you're dead!" + +Tom was confused. He saw the bright light on Sam's pistol, and thought it was a real laser. He was scared and angry. He thought Sam was cheating. + +He threw his pistol on the ground and ran to Sam. He pushed him and shouted, "That's not fair, Sam! You can't use a laser! That's not a real pistol!" + +Sam fell down and dropped his pistol. He was hurt and sad. He did not mean to cheat. He just wanted to have fun. + +He cried and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to make my pistol better. I thought you would like it." + +Tom looked at Sam and saw his tears. He felt sorry for him. He realized that Sam was just trying to be creative. He picked up Sam's pistol and looked at it. He saw the tape and the flashlight. + +He said, "I'm sorry, too, Sam. I was scared and mad. I didn't know it was just a flashlight. It's actually a cool idea. Can I try it?" + +Sam nodded and smiled. He wiped his tears and got up. He gave Tom his pistol and said, "Sure, Tom. You can try it. But you have to let me use yours, too." + +Tom agreed and handed Sam his pistol. They hugged and said, "We're still brothers, right?" + +"Right," they said. + +They went back to playing with their pistols, but this time, they took turns using the flashlight. They had more fun than ever. They were organized and fair. They were happy. +Lily liked to imagine that she was a mermaid. She had a long tail that was shiny and green. She could swim very fast and talk to the fish. She was very intelligent and knew many things about the sea. + +One day, she saw a big wave coming towards her. She was not afraid, because she liked to play with the waves. She swam to the top of the wave and jumped out of the water. She felt the sun on her face and the wind in her hair. She laughed and waved to the birds in the sky. + +But then, she heard her mother calling her name. She realized that she was not a mermaid, but a girl. She was in the bathtub, and the wave was made of bubbles. She smiled and said goodbye to the fish. She got out of the water and dried herself with a towel. She hugged her mother and told her about her adventure. Her mother smiled and said that she had a wonderful imagination. +Tim likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things. He watches cartoons every morning with his mom. + +One day, Tim wakes up early. He wants to watch cartoons, but mom is still sleeping. He does not want to wake her up. He thinks of a plan. He gets his chair and pushes it to the TV. He climbs on the chair and turns on the TV. He finds his favorite cartoon. + +He is very happy. He sits on the chair and watches the cartoon. He does not see that the chair is not very stable. It wobbles a little bit. He does not care. He is too busy watching the cartoon. + +Suddenly, the chair falls over. Tim falls down too. He hits his head on the floor. He cries out loud. He feels pain and fear. He wants his mom. + +Mom hears Tim's cry. She wakes up and runs to the living room. She sees Tim on the floor and the TV on. She is scared and angry. She picks up Tim and hugs him. + +"Tim, what happened? Are you okay?" she asks. + +"I wanted to watch cartoon, but the chair fell down. It hurts, mom," Tim says. + +"Tim, you should not stand on the chair. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You should wait for me to watch cartoon with you. I am sorry you are hurt, but you also made a bad choice," mom says. + +She checks Tim's head. It is not bleeding, but it has a bump. She gets some ice and puts it on the bump. She kisses Tim and says she loves him. + +Tim feels sorry and sad. He says he loves mom too. He says he is sorry for standing on the chair. He says he will not do it again. + +Mom smiles and says it is okay. She says they can watch cartoon together now. She turns off the TV and takes Tim to the couch.

The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and big ears. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a newspaper and did not see them. + +"Hello, sir. Can we pet your dog?" Lily requested. She smiled and waved at the man. + +The man did not hear her. He was too busy with his newspaper. He did not look at them. + +The dog saw Lily and Ben. It did not like strangers. It growled and barked at them. It showed its teeth and ran towards them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Lily on the leg and Ben on the arm. They screamed and cried. They felt a lot of pain. + +The man heard the noise and looked up. He saw his dog attacking the children. He dropped his newspaper and ran to them.

He felt bad and guilty. + +"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. Are you okay?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben did not answer. They were too hurt and scared. They wanted their mom and dad. They wanted to go home. They did not like the dog or the man. They did not have a friendly life. They had a bad day. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara likes the ducks. She throws some bread for them. Ben likes the fish. He tries to catch them with his hands. + +"Look, Sara, a big fish!" Ben says. He points to the water. Sara notices a shiny fish swimming near the edge. She runs to Ben and bends down to see it. + +"Wow, it is big!" Sara says. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand to the water. But the fish is fast. It swims away. + +"Too bad," Ben says. He is sad. He likes the fish. He wants to play with it. + +"Maybe we can find another fish," Sara says. She is kind. She wants to make Ben happy. She looks around the pond. She notices something else in the water. It is not a fish. It is a frog. + +"Ben, look, a frog!" Sara says. She points to the water. Ben notices the frog. It is green and brown. It sits on a rock. It croaks. + +"A frog!" Ben says. He is excited. He likes frogs. He thinks they are funny. He runs to the frog and tries to catch it. + +The frog is not fast like the fish. Ben grabs it with his hands. He lifts it up and shows it to Sara. + +"I caught a frog!" Ben says. He is proud. He smiles. + +"Good job, Ben!" Sara says. She is glad. She claps her hands. She thinks Ben is clever. + +The frog is not glad. It is scared. It does not like Ben. It wants to go back to the water. It jumps out of Ben's hands and lands in the pond. It swims away. + +"Bye, frog!" Ben says. He is not sad. He is still happy. He had fun with the frog. + +"Let's find something else to play with," Sara says. She is still kind. She likes to play with Ben. + +"Okay," Ben says. He is still excited. He likes to play with Sara. + +They hold hands and walk around the pond. They notice many things in the water. They have a good time. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with colors and numbers. They make a game with the cards. They take turns to show a card and say its color and number. + +Lily shows a card. It is red and has four dots. She says, "Red four." + +Tom shows a card. It is blue and has five dots. He says, "Blue five." + +Lily says, "You have a high card. You win this round." + +Tom smiles. He likes to win. + +They play more rounds. Tom always has a high card. He wins every round. Lily has low cards. She loses every round. She feels sad and angry. + +She says, "This is not fair. You have all the high cards. You are cheating." + +Tom says, "No, I am not cheating. I am just lucky. You are a sore loser." + +Lily says, "No, you are a bad friend. You do not share the high cards. You are mean." + +Tom says, "No, you are a bad friend. You do not say good job when I win. You are rude." + +They start to yell and fight. They throw the cards at each other. They rip the cards. They cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cards on the floor. She sees Lily and Tom with red faces and wet eyes. She is not happy. + +She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you ruining the cards?" + +Lily and Tom try to explain. They blame each other. They say sorry. + +Mom says, "I am sorry too. But you have to learn to play nicely. You have to share and be kind. You have to say sorry and hug. You have to be good friends." + +She makes them pick up the cards. She makes them hug. She makes them say sorry. + +But the cards are torn. The game is over. The fun is gone. Lily and Tom are still mad. They do not want to play anymore. They do not want to be friends anymore. They have a bad day. +Tom and Mia like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek. Tom is good at hiding. He can hide under the bed, behind the door, or in the closet. Mia is good at seeking. She can find Tom by looking and listening. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the living room. Mia counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Tom everywhere. She looks under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the bookcase. But she cannot find Tom. She says, "Tom, where are you? I give up!" + +Tom giggles. He is hiding in the fish tank. He put on his snorkel and mask and jumped into the water. He is hiding behind a big rock. He can see the fish swimming around him. They are colorful and shiny. They tickle his nose and make him laugh. He thinks, "This is the best hiding spot ever!" + +Mia hears Tom's giggle. She follows the sound and sees the fish tank. She is surprised and curious. She says, "Tom, is that you? Are you in the fish tank?" She walks closer and sees Tom's face behind the rock. She says, "Tom, you are so silly! How did you get in there? Come out, please!" + +Tom sees Mia's face. He smiles and waves. He says, "Hi, Mia! I am hiding with the fish. They are my friends. They are soft and nice. Do you want to join me?" He takes off his mask and snorkel and swims to the surface. He says, "It is fun in here. But I am wet and cold. Let's go and dry off." + +Mia helps Tom out of the fish tank. She says, "Tom, you are very clever and brave. But you are also very wet and cold. And the fish need their space. Let's go and dry off. And then we can play something else. Maybe we can play with your soft toys. They are also your friends. And they are dry and warm." + +Tom agrees. He says, "Okay, Mia. Let's go and dry off. And then we can play with my soft toys. They are also my friends. And they are dry and warm. And they don't tickle my nose." He hugs Mia and says, "You are my best friend, Mia. I love you." + +Mia hugs Tom and says, "You are my best friend, Tom. I love you too." They go and dry off. And then they play with Tom's soft toys. They are happy and cozy. They have fun. The end. +One day, Lily and Max were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They had a lot of fun running, jumping, and throwing a ball. Spot was very fast and caught the ball every time. Lily and Max thought Spot was adorable. + +But then, the sky became dark and cloudy. Lily and Max heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They were scared and wanted to go home. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go to the car and close the doors. We'll be safe and dry there." + +They followed their mom to the car, with Spot behind them. They got in and closed the doors. They saw the rain falling and the lightning flashing. They heard the thunder rumbling. But they felt cozy and warm in the car. They cuddled with Spot and their mom. They sang songs and told jokes. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. +Anna was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She liked to pretend that she was the queen of the dollhouse and that her dolls were her friends. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room and saw her playing. He wanted to join her, but he did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He grabbed one of Anna's dolls and said, "This doll is boring. I want to make it fly." + +Anna was angry and said, "No, Tom, that is my doll. Give it back to me. You are not the king of the dollhouse. You are a mean boy." + +Tom did not listen to Anna. He threw the doll in the air and laughed. The doll fell on the floor and broke its arm. Anna cried and ran to pick up her doll. She hugged it and said, "I'm sorry, doll. You are my best friend. I will fix you." + +Tom did not care. He said, "Dolls are stupid. You are a silly girl. I don't want to play with you." He ran out of the room and slammed the door. + +Anna felt sad and bitter. She did not like her brother. She wished he would go away. She closed the door of her room and locked it. She said to her doll, "We don't need him. We have each other. We are the queen and the princess of the dollhouse. And we are happy." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big box with a hole in it. It looked like a fun place to hide. + +"Let's go inside the box!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the box and crawled inside. It was dark and cozy. They giggled and whispered. + +But then they heard a loud snap. The hole closed. They were trapped! + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +They pushed and pulled the hole, but it was too difficult. They could not lift it. They were scared and sad. + +A man came to the box. He had a hat and a net. He was a hunter. He wanted to catch animals in his trap. + +"Ha! I got you!" the man said. + +He lifted the hole and looked inside. He saw Tom and Lily. He was surprised and angry. + +"You are not animals! You are children! What are you doing in my trap?" the man said. + +"We are sorry, mister. We did not know it was a trap. We thought it was a fun place to hide. Please let us go!" Tom and Lily said. + +The man sighed. He was not a bad man. He felt sorry for Tom and Lily. + +"OK, OK. I will let you go. But you have to promise me something. Never go inside a trap again. It is dangerous and wrong. You could get hurt or lost. You should always be careful and listen to your parents. Do you understand?" the man said. + +"Yes, mister. We understand. We promise. Thank you for letting us go!" Tom and Lily said. + +The man opened the hole and helped Tom and Lily out. They ran to their parents, who were looking for them. They hugged them and told them what happened. Their parents were relieved and angry. + +"Tom and Lily, you were very naughty and foolish. You should never go inside a trap. You could have been in big trouble. You should always stay away from strangers and their things. You should always be safe and smart. Do you understand?" their parents said. + +"Yes, mommy and daddy. We understand. We are sorry. We will never do it again!" Tom and Lily said. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never went inside a trap again. They played in the park, but they were always careful and listened to their parents. They were happy and good. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and elves. They used sticks and leaves to make magic wands and crowns. They ran and jumped and laughed. + +But then they saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and shiny. Anna wanted to touch it. She thought it was a fairy house. Ben wanted to leave it alone. He thought it was a bad mushroom. + +"Look, Ben, it's so pretty!" Anna said. She went closer to the mushroom. + +"No, Anna, don't!" Ben said. He was scared. He had heard that some mushrooms could make you sick or hurt you. "It's not a fairy house, it's a trap!" + +Anna did not listen. She reached out her hand to the mushroom. But then she heard a loud roar. A big bear came out of the bushes. It was angry and hungry. It saw Anna and Ben and wanted to eat them. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her away from the mushroom. They ran as fast as they could to the house. + +The bear followed them. It was faster and stronger than them. It was almost catching them. Anna and Ben were very scared. They did not know what to do. + +"Help, help!" they cried. They hoped someone would hear them and save them. + +Then they saw their dad. He was in the garden, too. He was watering the flowers. He heard their cries and saw the bear. He dropped the hose and ran to them. + +He picked up a big stick and waved it at the bear. He shouted at the bear to go away. He was brave and strong. He protected Anna and Ben. + +The bear was surprised and afraid. It did not want to fight with the dad. It turned around and ran away. It left the mushroom and the garden. + +Anna and Ben hugged their dad. They were happy and safe. They thanked their dad for saving them. + +They learned a lesson. They should not touch things they do not know. They should listen to their brother or sister. They should be careful in the garden. + +They went inside the house. They washed their hands and faces. They made their beds and put away their toys. They wanted to be tidy and good. They did not want to make their dad angry or worried. + +They had a nice dinner and a story. They went to bed and slept well. They dreamed of fairies and elves. But not of mushrooms and bears. +Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys. But Mom said it was nap time. Mom took Lily to her bed and gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Sleep well, my sweet girl. You belong with me. I love you very much," Mom said. + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Mom. But I'm not sleepy." + +Mom tucked Lily in and said, "Try to close your eyes and relax. You will feel better after a nap." + +Mom left the room and closed the door. Lily waited for a few minutes. Then she got out of bed. She tiptoed to the door and opened it. She looked around. The hall was quiet. She saw her toys in the living room. She ran to them and picked up her favorite doll. + +"Hi, Dolly. Do you want to play with me? You belong with me. You are my best friend," Lily said. + +She hugged Dolly and carried her to the couch. She pretended to have a tea party with Dolly and some stuffed animals. She poured water from a plastic cup and offered cookies from a paper plate. She talked to Dolly and the animals in a low voice. + +She did not hear Mom coming back. Mom saw Lily playing and smiled. She walked to the couch and said, "Hello, Lily. What are you doing?" + +Lily looked up and saw Mom. She felt guilty. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't sleep. I wanted to play with Dolly. She was restless too." + +Mom laughed and said, "It's okay, Lily. I understand. You are a curious and playful girl. But you also need to rest. How about we play together for a little while and then we go back to bed?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. That sounds good. Can you join our tea party?" + +Mom said, "Of course. I would love to join your tea party. You are very creative and kind, Lily. You belong with me. And I belong with you." + +Mom sat on the couch and took Dolly's hand. She said, "Hello, Dolly. Thank you for inviting me to your tea party. You are a lovely doll. You belong with Lily. She takes good care of you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom. You belong with me. And I belong with you." + +They played and laughed and had fun. Then they went back to bed and cuddled. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They were not restless anymore. They were happy. +Sam and Mia were young and liked to play in the woods. They saw many trees and animals and flowers. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +One day, they found a big pine tree. It was very tall and green and had many cones. Sam and Mia wanted to climb the pine tree and see what was on top. They thought it would be fun and exciting. + +They started to climb the pine tree. They held on to the branches and the cones. They went higher and higher. They saw the sky and the clouds and the birds. They felt happy and proud. + +But then, something bad happened. A branch broke and Sam fell down. He hit the ground and hurt himself. He cried and screamed. Mia saw him and was scared. She wanted to help him, but she was too high. She did not know how to go down. She stared at Sam and the pine tree and the sky. She felt sad and alone. + +A man heard Sam and Mia and came to the woods. He saw Sam on the ground and Mia on the tree. He called for help and tried to comfort them. He told them not to worry and that everything would be okay. But it was not okay. Sam was badly hurt and Mia was stuck. They had to go to the hospital and stay there for a long time. They missed their home and their family and their friends. They wished they had never climbed the pine tree. + +The moral of the story is: Do not do things that are dangerous and risky. Listen to your parents and teachers and follow the rules. Be careful and smart and stay safe. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big package on a bench. It was brown and had a red ribbon. + +"Look, a present!" Sam said. "Maybe it is for us!" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Sam. We cannot take it. It belongs to someone else." + +But Sam did not listen. He ran to the bench and grabbed the package. He opened it and saw a shiny toy car. + +"Wow, this is cool!" he said. "I want to play with it!" + +Lily followed him. She was worried. "Sam, put it back. It is not ours. Someone will be sad if they lose it." + +But Sam did not listen. He pushed a button on the toy car. It made a loud noise. "Beep beep! Vroom vroom!" he said. + +Suddenly, a man came running to the bench. He was angry and scared. He had a badge and a gun. + +"Stop! That is not a toy! That is a bomb!" he shouted. "I need to rescue it and take it away!" + +He grabbed the package from Sam and ran away. He tried to calm the bomb and stop it from exploding. + +But he was too late. The bomb went off. It made a big boom. It hurt the man and the park. It broke the trees and the swings. It made smoke and fire. + +Sam and Lily were scared. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had not taken the package. They wished they had not played with the bomb. +Lily liked to spend time with her dad. He was a space teacher. He taught big kids about stars and planets and rockets. Sometimes, he took Lily to his space room. There, he showed her many interesting things. + +He showed her a big map of the sky, with many dots and shapes. He told her the names of some of them, like the moon, the sun, and the big bear. He showed her a small ball that looked like the earth, with blue and green and white. He told her that was where they lived, and pointed to a tiny spot. He showed her a shiny suit that he wore when he went to space. He told her that it kept him safe and warm and breathing. + +Lily loved to listen to her dad. She asked him many questions, like how he went to space, and what he saw there, and if he met any aliens. He smiled and answered her, and told her stories. He told her that space was very big and beautiful and mysterious, and that he wanted to share it with her. He said that maybe one day, they could go to space together, and see the stars and planets and rockets up close. + +Lily hugged her dad. She said that she wanted to go to space with him, and that he was the best space teacher ever. He hugged her back, and said that she was the best space student ever. They looked at the map of the sky, and dreamed of their space adventure. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Ben wanted to dive in the water and catch a fish. Lily said no. + +"Ben, you are ignorant. The water is dirty and cold. The fish will bite you. The ducks will chase you. You will get sick and wet. We are not allowed to dive in the pond. Come with me. Let's find a path to the swings." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He was curious and brave. He took off his shoes and socks. He ran to the edge of the pond. He jumped and dived in the water. He felt a splash and a shock. He opened his eyes and saw nothing but mud. He felt something nibble his toe. He heard a quack and a flap. He was scared and cold. He wanted to get out. + +He cried for help. Lily heard him and ran to the pond. She saw Ben's head and arms sticking out of the water. She saw a duck pecking his hair. She saw a fish swimming away with his sock. She felt sorry for Ben. She grabbed a stick and reached out to him. + +"Ben, you are silly. Why did you dive in the pond? You are in trouble. Grab the stick. I will pull you out. Then we have to go home. Mom will be angry. You need a bath and a hug." + +Ben grabbed the stick. Lily pulled him out. He was dripping and shivering. He was sorry and ashamed. He said thank you to Lily. He said sorry to Mom. He learned a lesson. He never dived in the pond again. He followed Lily to the path to the swings. They played and laughed and slid on the grass. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to build things with wood and nails. They had a big box of wood and a small hammer. They wanted to make a house for their toys. + +"Look, I found a long wood!" Ben said. He picked it up and carried it to their spot. "This can be the roof." + +"Be careful, Ben. It is heavy. Don't drop it." Lily said. She was holding some small woods and nails. She was making the walls. + +Ben tried to be careful, but the long wood was too heavy for him. He walked slowly, but he tripped on a stone. He dropped the wood. It fell on the ground with a loud bang. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. The wood hit his foot. It hurt a lot. He sat on the ground and held his foot. + +Lily ran to him. She saw his foot was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him. She dropped the small woods and nails. She hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" She asked. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." Ben said. + +Lily looked around. She saw a big tree with red apples. She had an idea. + +"Wait here, Ben. I'll be right back." She said. She ran to the tree. She picked an apple. It was round and shiny and tasty. She ran back to Ben. She gave him the apple. + +"Here, Ben. Eat this. It will make you feel better." She said. + +Ben took the apple. He bit it. It was sweet and juicy and tasty. He smiled. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." He said. + +Lily smiled too. She was happy to help him. + +They ate the apple together. They forgot about the wood and the nails. They forgot about the pain. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on walks with their mom and dad. One day, they went to a big park with many trees and flowers and animals. Lily and Ben saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. + +"Can we go up there, mom?" Lily asked, pointing to the hill. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful and stay close to us," mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a beautiful landscape with many colors and shapes. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said, pointing to a lake that sparkled like a jewel. + +"And look at that!" Lily said, pointing to a rainbow that arched over the sky. + +They felt happy and excited. They hugged each other and smiled. + +But not everyone was happy. A little boy named Tom was sitting on a bench with his dad. He saw Lily and Ben on the hill and felt envious. He wanted to go up there too, but his dad said no. + +"No, Tom, we can't go up there. It's too far and too steep. We have to go home soon," dad said. + +Tom felt sad and angry. He crossed his arms and pouted. He wished he had a twin like Lily or Ben. He wished he could see the landscape and the rainbow. He wished he could have fun. +Lila and Ben were very excited to see the fireworks. They had never seen them before. Mom and Dad took them to the park where many people were waiting for the show. Lila and Ben held hands and looked at the sky. + +"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a firework that burst into red and blue stars. "It's so pretty!" + +"I like that one!" Lila said, pointing at another firework that twisted and turned like a snake. "It's so flexible!" + +They clapped and cheered as more fireworks lit up the night. They saw fireworks of different colors, shapes and sounds. Some were loud and some were quiet. Some were big and some were small. Some were fast and some were slow. + +"Can we make fireworks too?" Lila asked Mom. + +"No, sweetie, fireworks are not for kids. They are very hot and dangerous. Only grown-ups can make them and use them safely." Mom said. + +"Then can we play with sparklers?" Ben asked Dad. + +"Sure, we can do that. Sparklers are like little fireworks that you can hold in your hand. But you have to be careful and follow the rules." Dad said. + +He gave them each a sparkler and a lighter. He told them to hold the sparkler away from their face and body, and to wave it gently in the air. He lit the sparklers and they started to sparkle and crackle. + +Lila and Ben smiled and giggled as they made shapes and letters with their sparklers. They felt like they were making their own fireworks. They had a lot of fun until the sparklers ran out. + +"Did you like the fireworks and the sparklers?" Mom asked them. + +"Yes, we loved them!" Lila and Ben said. + +"Me too. They were very beautiful and amazing." Mom said. + +They hugged and thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the park. They went back to the car and drove home. They were tired but happy. They dreamed of fireworks and sparklers. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. It was fun and fast. But today, the slide was wet and dirty. There was soil on the slide. Anna and Ben did not like soil. It was brown and sticky. + +"Who put soil on the slide?" Anna asked. "I want to slide, but I don't want to get dirty." + +"Maybe it was the rain," Ben said. "Or maybe it was a naughty dog. Let's go and find another slide." + +They looked around the park. There were many slides, but they were all wet and dirty. There was soil on every slide. Anna and Ben were frustrated. They wanted to slide, but they could not. + +"Maybe we can clean the slide," Anna said. "We can use our hands and wipe the soil off." + +"OK, let's try," Ben said. They went to the big slide. They used their hands and wiped the soil off. It was hard work. They got soil on their hands and clothes. But they did not care. They wanted to slide. + +They cleaned the slide as much as they could. Then they climbed up the ladder. They were ready to slide. + +"Are you ready, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I'm ready, Ben," Anna said. + +They slid down the slide. It was fun and fast. But it was also slippery and bumpy. They did not see the big rock on the slide. The rock was hidden by the soil. They slid over the rock. They bumped their heads. They fell off the slide. They landed on the ground. They were hurt and dirty. + +They cried. They were not happy. They did not like the slide. They did not like the soil. They did not like the rock. They wanted to go home. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny crystal in their backyard. It was blue and sparkly and made them happy. + +"Look, Lily, a crystal!" Tim said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I hold it, Tim?" Lily asked. "I want to see it too!" + +Tim did not want to share. He liked the crystal too much. He said, "No, Lily, it is mine! You can only observe it from far away!" + +Lily felt miserable. She wanted to play with the crystal too. She said, "Tim, that is not nice! We should share our toys. Sharing is caring!" + +Tim did not listen. He held the crystal tight and ran away. He did not see the big rock in his way. He tripped and fell. The crystal flew out of his hand and broke into pieces. + +Tim cried. He hurt his knee and his crystal was gone. He said, "Oh no, my crystal! It is broken! I am so sad!" + +Lily ran to him. She saw his tears and his blood. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Tim, are you okay? I am sorry your crystal broke. Here, let me help you." + +She gave him a hug and a band-aid. She said, "Tim, I know you liked the crystal, but you should not be greedy. Greedy people lose their friends and their things. Next time, let us share and be happy together." + +Tim nodded. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was greedy and mean. I am sorry. Thank you for helping me. You are a good sister. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, Tim. We are always friends. I love you." + +They hugged and went inside. They learned a lesson. They decided to share their toys and observe the crystals in their books. They were happy. +Tom and Mia were very hot and thirsty. They had been walking in the sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw some green trees and a blue pond far away. They ran towards it. + +"Look, Mia, an oasis!" Tom said. "We can drink and rest there." + +"Yes, Tom, let's go!" Mia said. They were happy and hopeful. + +But when they got closer, they saw a big fence around the oasis. It had a sign that said "Keep out". There was a mean man with a big hat and a big stick. He was guarding the oasis. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from here!" the mean man shouted. "This is my oasis. You can't have any water or shade. Go back to the sand." + +Tom and Mia were very sad and angry. They hated the mean man. They hated the fence. They hated the sign. They wanted to go inside the oasis. + +"Please, sir, can we have some water?" Tom asked. "We are very hot and thirsty. We have been walking for a long time." + +"No, you can't!" the mean man said. "This is my water. You can't have any. Go away or I'll hit you with my stick." + +Tom and Mia were scared. They didn't want to be hit. They turned around and ran away. They looked for another oasis. + +They found a small hole in the sand. It had a little water and a little shade. They crawled inside. It was very tight. They could barely fit. But they were glad. They drank some water and rested. + +"This is our oasis," Mia said. "We don't need the mean man's oasis. We have each other." + +"Yes, Mia, this is our oasis," Tom said. "We don't hate it. We love it." They hugged and smiled. They were happy and hopeful. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today, they want to dress up as pirates. They find some old clothes and hats in a box. They also find some scissors. + +"Look, Ben, we can cut these clothes to make them look like pirate clothes," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful with the scissors. They are sharp and can hurt you," Ben says. + +Lily nods. She starts to cut a hole in a shirt. But she cuts too fast and too close to her finger. She feels a pain and sees some blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow! I cut myself!" Lily cries. + +Ben hears her and runs to her. He sees the cut on her finger. He feels sorry for her. + +"Don't cry, Lily. I will help you. Come with me," Ben says. + +He takes her hand and leads her to the kitchen. He finds a band-aid and puts it on her finger. He gives her a hug and a kiss. + +"There, there. You will be OK. The band-aid will make it better," Ben says. + +Lily stops crying. She smiles at Ben. She feels better. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful. You are a good brother," Lily says. + +Ben smiles back. He feels happy. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. And you are still a pirate. Arrr!" Ben says. + +They laugh and hug. They go back to the box and find some more clothes. They dress up as pirates and have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys in Tom's room. Tom has a cute dog named Spot. Spot likes to play too, but sometimes he is naughty. + +One day, Tom and Mia are playing with a train set. Spot sees the train and wants to catch it. He runs after the train and barks. Tom and Mia laugh and say, "Spot, stop! You are silly!" + +But Spot does not stop. He jumps on the train and breaks it. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They say, "Spot, bad dog! You broke our train!" + +Spot feels sorry and wags his tail. He tries to lick Tom and Mia, but they push him away. They say, "Go away, Spot! We don't want to play with you!" + +Spot is sad and lonely. He walks out of Tom's room and looks for a place to hide. He sees a closet and goes inside. He thinks, "Maybe they will be nice to me later." + +But he does not know that the closet is shut. He cannot open it. He cries and scratches, but no one hears him. He is trapped in the closet. He is scared and hungry. He wishes he did not break the train. He wishes he had good friends. He wishes he could get out of the closet. But he cannot. He is stuck. He is alone. He is unhappy. The end. +Lily likes to design things with her crayons and paper. She draws houses, flowers, animals and people. She makes them look pretty with many colors. She is very good at design. + +One day, she wants to design a hook for her coat. She says to her mom, "Mom, can I have a hook for my coat? I want to design it myself." + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Lily. That sounds like a fun idea. What do you need to design a hook?" + +Lily thinks for a moment and says, "I need a hanger, some tape, some glitter and some stickers." + +Mom helps Lily find the things she needs and says, "Okay, Lily. You can design your hook in your room. Be careful with the glitter and the tape. And don't make a mess." + +Lily nods and says, "Thank you, Mom. I will be careful and clean." + +Lily goes to her room and starts to design her hook. She tapes the hanger to the wall. She covers it with glitter and stickers. She makes it look shiny and cute. She is very happy with her design. + +She puts her coat on the hook and admires it. She says to herself, "Wow, I made a beautiful hook. I am a great designer." + +She runs to show her mom her hook. She says, "Mom, look at my hook. Do you like it?" + +Mom looks at the hook and says, "Wow, Lily. Your hook is amazing. You are a very talented designer. I love it." + +Lily hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom hugs her back and says, "I love you too, Lily. You are a wonderful daughter." +Lily wanted to put on her pants by herself. She did not want Mom to help her. She said, "I can do it, Mom. I am big now." + +Mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily. You can try. But be careful not to put them on backwards or upside down." + +Lily took her pants and tried to put them on. She put one leg in, then the other. But she did not pull them up. She tried to walk, but the pants fell down. She tripped and fell on the floor. + +Mom ran to Lily and asked, "Are you okay, Lily? Did you hurt yourself?" + +Lily was not hurt, but she was sad. She said, "I did not succeed, Mom. I am foolish. I cannot put on my pants." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "No, Lily. You are not foolish. You are brave and smart. You tried something new. Sometimes we make mistakes when we learn. That is okay. You can try again. I will help you this time." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom helped Lily put on her pants the right way. Lily was happy. She said, "I did it, Mom. I put on my pants." + +Mom said, "Yes, you did, Lily. You succeeded. I am proud of you." +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves. They liked to pretend it was their home. + +"Let's hang some flowers on the hut," Lily said. She picked some yellow and purple flowers from the garden. + +"OK," Ben said. He helped Lily tie the flowers to the sticks. + +They stepped back and looked at their hut. It was very pretty. + +But then, Tom came along. Tom was their big brother. He liked to tease them. + +"What a fake hut!" Tom said. He laughed. "It's not a real home. It's just some sticks and leaves and flowers. You can't live in there." + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They loved their hut. + +"Go away, Tom!" Ben said. "You're mean. This is our hut. We can play in it." + +Tom did not go away. He pushed the hut with his foot. Some sticks and leaves fell down. The flowers came off. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. She cried. "You're ruining our hut!" + +Tom pushed the hut again. It fell apart. He kicked the flowers away. + +"There," Tom said. "Now you have no hut. It was fake anyway." + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom. They told her what Tom did. Mom was not happy. She scolded Tom. + +"Tom, that was very naughty," Mom said. "You should not destroy Ben and Lily's hut. They worked hard to make it. They were having fun. You should say sorry to them." + +Tom felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He went to Ben and Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Ben and Lily," Tom said. "I was mean. I should not have ruined your hut. Can I help you make a new one?" + +Ben and Lily looked at Tom. They saw he was sorry. They forgave him. + +"OK, Tom," Ben said. "You can help us. But you have to be nice." + +"OK, I will," Tom said. + +They hugged. They went to the yard. They gathered more sticks and leaves and flowers. They made a new hut. It was bigger and prettier than before. + +They played in the hut. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to see the flowers bloom in different colors. She liked to smell them and touch them gently. She liked to water them with the hose and dig in the dirt with her shovel. + +One day, her mom gave her a special gift. It was a small pot with a seed inside. She told Lily that it was a thumb flower. She said that if Lily took good care of it, it would grow and bloom into a flower that looked like a thumb. + +Lily was very excited. She put the pot on her windowsill and watered it every day. She talked to it and sang to it. She waited and waited for it to grow. + +After a few weeks, she saw a tiny green sprout coming out of the dirt. She clapped her hands and called her mom. + +"Mom, mom, look! My thumb flower is growing!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's wonderful, Lily. You are a very good gardener. You are very organized and patient. I'm proud of you." + +Lily beamed. She couldn't wait to see her thumb flower bloom. She wondered what color it would be. She hoped it would be pink, like her favorite dress. She decided to name it Pinky. She kissed it and whispered, "Grow, Pinky, grow. I love you." +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes they pretend they are in a race or a chase. They have fun making noises with their mouths. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a good place to play with their cars. They climb inside and make a tunnel with the flaps. They drive their cars through the tunnel and out the other side. They speak to each other in funny voices. + +But then, they hear a loud sound. It is Dad. He is looking for the box. He does not know they are inside. He picks up the box and shakes it. He thinks it is empty. Anna and Ben scream and hold on to their cars. The box falls to the ground and breaks. Their cars fly out and make a big wreck. + +Dad is very surprised. He sees Anna and Ben in the broken box. He sees their cars all over the floor. He is not happy. He says they made a mess. He says they should not play with his things. He says they should say sorry. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not know it was Dad's box. They say sorry to Dad. They help him pick up the cars and the box. They hug him and say they love him. + +Dad is not angry anymore. He says he loves them too. He says they can play with their cars, but not in his boxes. He says he has a better idea. He takes them to the backyard. He shows them a big pile of dirt. He says they can make a hill and a road for their cars. He says they can be successful drivers. + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They thank Dad. They run to the dirt with their cars. They make a hill and a road. They drive their cars up and down. They make noises and speak in funny voices. They have fun. They forget about the wreck. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the camera. The camera is not real, but they pretend it is. They take pictures of their dolls, their cars, their books, and each other. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to play with the camera, but they cannot find it. They look under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but the camera is not there. They are sad and confused. + +"Where is our camera?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe Mommy or Daddy took it." + +They go to the living room, where Mommy and Daddy are watching TV. They are very lazy today. They do not want to do anything. + +"Mommy, Daddy, where is our camera?" Sara and Ben ask. + +"Your camera?" Mommy says. "Oh, we put it in the store." + +"In the store?" Sara and Ben say. "Why did you put it in the store?" + +"Because it was broken," Daddy says. "We took it to the store to fix it. They will give it back to us soon." + +Sara and Ben are not happy. They want their camera now. They do not like to wait. + +"But we want to play with it," Sara says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +"Sorry, sweeties, but you have to be patient," Mommy says. "The store will call us when the camera is ready. Then we will go and get it. OK?" + +Sara and Ben sigh. They do not have a choice. They nod and say, "OK." + +They go back to their room and play with other toys. But they still miss their camera. They hope the store will fix it fast. They want to take pictures again. +Lila was a curious girl who liked to test things. She wanted to know how they worked and what they did. One day, she saw a big knob on the wall in the hall. She wondered what it was for. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this knob?" + +Her mom said, "That is a thermostat, Lila. It controls the heat in the house. If you turn it up, the house gets warmer. If you turn it down, the house gets cooler." + +Lila nodded, but she wanted to test it herself. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she tiptoed to the knob and turned it all the way up. She felt the air get hotter and hotter. She smiled and ran to her room. + +Soon, her mom came to check on her. She felt the heat and said, "Lila, what did you do? It's so hot in here!" + +Lila said, "I tested the knob, mom. I made the house warmer." + +Her mom said, "Lila, you can't do that. You could make us sick or start a fire. The knob is not a toy. You have to ask me before you touch it." + +Lila felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I won't do it again." + +Her mom said, "It's okay, Lila. I know you like to learn new things. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Some things are not safe to test. Come on, let's turn the knob back and cool down the house." +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was shiny and had many buttons and lights. + +"Let's pretend this is a spaceship!" said Lily. "We can go to the universe and see the stars and planets!" + +"OK!" said Max. "But how do we make it fly?" + +Lily looked at the buttons and saw one that said "twist". She twisted it and the box started to shake and make noises. + +"Wow!" said Max. "It's working! Hold on tight!" + +The box lifted off the ground and flew out of the garage. Lily and Max saw the sky change colors and shapes. They saw the sun, the moon, and many other things they did not know. + +"This is amazing!" said Lily. "We are in the universe!" + +"I wonder what we will find!" said Max. + +They were very happy and curious. They twisted the button again and again, and went to different places. They saw a planet with rings, a planet with ice, and a planet with animals. They waved at the animals and the animals waved back. + +They had so much fun, they did not notice the time. They twisted the button one more time, and the box flew back to the garage. They landed softly and got out of the box. + +"That was the best adventure ever!" said Lily. + +"I agree!" said Max. "Can we do it again tomorrow?" + +"Sure!" said Lily. "But now we have to go home. It's getting dark." + +They hugged each other and said goodbye. They ran to their houses, smiling and dreaming of the universe. +Lily and Tom were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to see Grandma and Grandpa. They had their bags and their toys and their snacks. + +But when they got to the airport, they saw many people and many cars. They had to wait in a long line to show their tickets and their passports. Lily and Tom did not like to wait. They wanted to run and play and see the planes. + +They tried to pull Mom and Dad away from the line, but Mom and Dad said no. They said they had to be patient and follow the rules. They said they had to surrender their bags and their toys to the big machine that made a loud noise. They said they had to walk through the clear gate that beeped. + +Lily and Tom did not want to surrender their bags and their toys. They were afraid they would lose them. They were afraid the big machine and the clear gate would hurt them. They cried and kicked and screamed. + +Mom and Dad were very sad and very sorry. They hugged Lily and Tom and tried to calm them down. They explained that the big machine and the clear gate were safe and that they would get their bags and their toys back. They said they had to surrender them only for a little while, and then they could have them again. + +Lily and Tom listened to Mom and Dad. They saw other kids and other parents doing the same thing. They saw that the big machine and the clear gate did not hurt them. They saw that they got their bags and their toys back. They decided to trust Mom and Dad and to surrender their bags and their toys. + +They walked through the clear gate and did not beep. They got their bags and their toys back and smiled.

She can make flowers, animals, and rainbows with them. She has a big box of pastels in her room. + +One day, Lily wants to draw a picture for her mom.

She wants to show it to her mom. She picks up her paper and runs to the kitchen. She is very fast. She speeds past the couch, the table, and the chair. + +But she does not see the lazy cat on the floor. The cat is sleeping and does not hear Lily. Lily trips over the cat and falls down. Her paper flies out of her hand and lands on the floor. Her pastels roll out of the box and scatter everywhere. + +Lily is sad and hurt. She cries. The cat wakes up and meows.

Lily tells her what happened. She says, "I wanted to show you my picture, but I fell over the cat. I'm sorry, mom." + +The mom says, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry you fell. The cat is sorry too. He did not mean to make you fall. He was just lazy. Can I see your picture?" + +Lily shows her the picture. The mom says, "Wow, Lily, this is a beautiful picture. You are very good at drawing with pastels. I love it. Thank you for making it for me. Can I hang it on the fridge?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, mom. I'm glad you like it. Can I have a cookie?" + +The mom says, "Of course, Lily. You can have a cookie. And a hug. And a kiss. You are my sweet and fast and creative girl. I love you." + +Lily says, "I love you too, mom." She hugs and kisses her mom. She takes a cookie and eats it. She is happy. The cat comes and rubs against her leg. He is happy too. He likes Lily. He likes pastels. He likes cookies. He likes being lazy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a ball and a teddy and a doll. They were happy. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a fire. The fire was in the house next door. They saw red and orange and yellow flames. They saw black smoke. They saw people running and shouting. They were scared. + +"Ben, Lily, come here!" their mom called. She was holding a phone. She was talking to someone. She sounded worried. She hugged them and took them to the car. "We have to go away from the fire. It is dangerous. The firemen will come and put it out." + +"Mom, what is fire?" Lily asked. She was curious. + +"Fire is something that is very hot and bright. It can burn things and hurt people. Sometimes fire is good, like when we light candles or make a cake. But sometimes fire is bad, like when it is out of control or in the wrong place. Then we have to be careful and stay away from it." Mom explained. + +"Fire is brilliant," Ben said. He liked the colors and the shapes of the fire. He did not understand why it was bad. + +"No, Ben, fire is not brilliant. Fire is dangerous. You have to listen to me and do what I say. I love you and I want you to be safe." Mom said. She kissed him and Lily and drove away from the fire. +Anna and Ben like to play with clay. They make animals and people and cars with clay. They have many colors of clay.

"This is my collar. It is mine. I am independent. I do not need anyone to help me." + +"But I need your collar," Tom says. "I have fleas. They make me miserable. Please, let me have it." + +"Sorry, no," Lily says. "You have to find your own collar. Or you have to find someone who cares about you and gives you one. I do not care about you. I only care about myself." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is mean and selfish. He does not want to be her friend. He runs away, looking for a collar or someone who cares.

But after a few minutes, they only found worms and rocks. + +"This is no fun," Tom said, throwing down the shovel. "There is no treasure here." + +Lily looked at the map again. She saw a big X on the other side of the garden. + +"Maybe we have the wrong spot," she said. "Let's try over there." + +But Tom was miserable. He did not want to dig anymore. He wanted to do something else. + +"No, I don't want to play pirates anymore," he said. "It's boring. Let's play something else." + +Lily was sad. She liked to play pirates. She liked to pretend they were on an adventure. + +"But we haven't found the treasure yet," she said. "Maybe it's over there. Please, Tom, let's play for one more minute." + +Tom shook his head. He did not care about the treasure. He wanted to play with his cars. + +"No, I want to play with my cars," he said. "You can play pirates by yourself." + +He walked away, leaving Lily alone with the box, the map and the coins. Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not want to play by herself. She wanted to play with Tom. + +She wished they could find the treasure together. She wished Tom would pretend with her. She wished they could have fun. +Tom and Lily are friends.

"Maybe it can talk or dance or fly." + +They take the robot out of the box and put it on the grass. They press some buttons and the robot makes noises. They laugh and clap. They think the robot is fun. + +But the robot is not fun. The robot is bad. The robot is a spy. It works for a mean man who wants to steal things. The robot has a camera and a microphone. It records everything Tom and Lily say and do. It sends the information to the mean man. + +The mean man sees Tom and Lily on his screen. He smiles and says, "Good job, robot.

I will keep the kids busy until you arrive." + +The robot pretends to be nice to Tom and Lily. It says, "Do you want to play more with me? I have more tricks to show you. Come closer to me and see." + +Tom and Lily are curious. They go closer to the robot. They do not know the robot is bad. They do not know the mean man is coming. They do not know they are in danger.

He wants to pretend with the real car. + +They run to the car and open the door. They see a radio, a badge and a hat. Tom puts on the hat and grabs the radio. He says, "This is cop Tom. I need backup. There is a bad driver on the road." + +Lily laughs and says, "That's me. I'm the bad driver. You can't catch me." She starts the car and drives away. + +But the car is not a pretend car. It is a real car. And the car belongs to a real cop. He is inside the house, talking to Tom and Lily's mom. He hears the noise and runs outside. He sees his car driving away with two kids inside. He is very angry. He shouts, "Hey, stop! That's my car!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They realize they made a big mistake. They stop the car and get out. They say, "We're sorry. We were just playing pretend. We didn't know it was your car." + +The cop is still angry, but he is also relieved. He says, "You could have been hurt. You could have hurt someone else. You can't play with a real car. That's very dangerous. You have to be careful." + +Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We're sorry. We won't do it again. We'll play with our box car." + +The cop takes his car back. He tells Tom and Lily's mom what happened. She is shocked and sorry. She says, "I'm sorry. They didn't mean any harm. They were just playing pretend. They like to be cops and drivers." + +The cop says, "I understand. But they have to learn the difference between pretend and real. They have to respect other people's things. They have to follow the rules." + +Tom and Lily's mom says, "You're right. I'll talk to them. I'll teach them. I'll punish them." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They know they did wrong. They say, "We're sorry. We love to play pretend. But we don't love to make trouble." + +The cop says, "I know. I love to play pretend too. When I was a kid, I pretended to be a cop. That's why I became a cop. But I also learned to be responsible. To be a good cop, you have to be responsible." + +Tom and Lily say, "We want to be responsible too. We want to be good cops and drivers. We want to be good kids." + +The cop says, "That's good. I'm glad. Maybe one day, you can be real cops and drivers. But for now, just play pretend. And have fun. And be safe." + +Tom and Lily say, "Thank you. We will. We're sorry. Goodbye." + +The cop says, "You're welcome. I'm sorry too. Goodbye." + +Tom and Lily go back to their box car. They play pretend. But they are more careful. They don't touch real cars. They don't make trouble. They have fun. And they are safe. +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to look at the big ships that sailed on the water. They wondered where the ships were going and what they had inside. + +"Look, Tom, there is a new ship!" Lily said, pointing at a shiny white ship with many windows. "It is so pretty! Do you think it is a rich ship?" + +Tom nodded. He wanted to see the ship up close. He grabbed Lily's hand and ran towards the pier. They climbed on a wooden bench and tried to count the windows on the ship. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" Tom said, proud of his counting skills. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so good at counting!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "I can only count to five. Can you teach me how to count more?" + +Tom smiled. He liked to help Lily. He held up his fingers and showed her how to count to ten. Lily repeated after him, slowly and carefully. + +"Thank you, Tom, you are a good friend!" Lily said, hugging him. "Now we can count all the windows on the rich ship!" + +They counted the windows again, together and loudly. They did not notice that a man in a uniform was walking towards them. He was the captain of the ship. He heard the children's voices and decided to say hello. + +"Hello, little ones!" he said, with a friendly voice. "Do you like my ship?" + +Lily and Tom looked at him with wide eyes. He had a big hat and a shiny badge. He looked like a king. + +"Yes, sir, we like your ship very much!" Tom said, politely. "It is a rich ship!" + +The captain laughed. He liked the children's honesty. He bent down and whispered in their ears. + +"Do you want to see a secret?" he asked. "I have something very special inside my ship. Something that makes it rich. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily and Tom nodded, eagerly. They were curious and excited. They followed the captain to his ship. He led them to a big room with a lot of boxes. He opened one of the boxes and showed them what was inside. + +It was a treasure! There were shiny coins, sparkling jewels, and colorful toys. Lily and Tom gasped. They had never seen anything like that before. + +"This is my treasure!" the captain said. "I collect it from all over the world. Do you want to play with it?" + +Lily and Tom nodded, happily. They thanked the captain and ran to the treasure. They picked up the coins and jewels and toys. They counted them and admired them. They had so much fun! + +The captain watched them with a smile. He was glad to share his treasure with them. He thought they were the richest children in the world. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a car and Lily has a doll. They are having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says. + +"Hello, my doll is pretty!" Lily says. + +They see a screw on the floor. It is shiny and has a pointy end. They both want it. + +"Mine!" Tom says and grabs the screw. + +"No, mine!" Lily says and pulls the screw. + +They tug and tug and the screw flies out of their hands. It lands on the couch, where Mom is sitting and reading a book. + +"Ouch!" Mom says and jumps up. She sees the screw and the kids. + +"What are you doing with this screw? It is not a toy! It can hurt you or me!" Mom says. + +She is angry and scared. She takes the screw and puts it in a drawer. She tells Tom and Lily to be careful and not to play with things that are not toys. + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They say sorry to Mom and hug her. + +"Can we have a snack, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, honey. What do you want to eat?" Mom asks. + +"I want a banana!" Tom says. + +"I want a cookie!" Lily says. + +Mom smiles and gives them what they want. They eat their snack and say thank you. + +"Bananas are nice!" Tom says. + +"Cookies are nice!" Lily says. + +Mom agrees. She says they are nice too. They cuddle on the couch and read a book together. They are happy. +Tim 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 stop. But Tim did not stop. He loved to whistle. + +One day, Tim found a big wardrobe in his room. It was old and brown and had many clothes inside. Tim was curious. He opened the wardrobe and looked inside. He saw a hat, a coat, a scarf, and a pair of boots. He decided to try them on. He put on the hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots. He felt very funny. He looked at himself in the mirror and laughed. He whistled a happy tune. + +Then he heard a voice. It was low and growly and came from the wardrobe. "Who are you?" the voice said. "What are you doing in my wardrobe?" + +Tim was scared. He turned around and saw a big bear. The bear had fur, claws, and teeth. The bear looked angry. Tim wanted to run, but he was too weak. The hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots were too heavy for him. He could not move. + +"Please don't hurt me," Tim said. "I'm sorry. I was just playing." + +The bear snorted. "Playing? You are wearing my clothes. You are whistling my song. You are in my home. You are not playing. You are stealing." + +Tim felt sorry. He did not mean to steal. He did not know the wardrobe was the bear's home. He did not know the song was the bear's song. He did not know the clothes were the bear's clothes. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad and stopped whistling. + +"Please let me go," Tim said. "I will take off your clothes. I will stop whistling. I will never come back." + +The bear thought for a moment. He saw that Tim was a small boy. He saw that Tim was afraid. He saw that Tim was sorry. He decided to be kind. + +"Okay," the bear said. "You can go. But remember, this is my wardrobe. This is my song. These are my clothes. Do not come back. And do not whistle so much. It is annoying." + +Tim nodded. He quickly took off the hat, the coat, the scarf, and the boots. He thanked the bear and ran out of the wardrobe. He closed the door behind him. He ran to his mom and dad and hugged them. He told them what happened. They were surprised and relieved. They told him he was lucky. They told him he should be careful. They told him he should whistle less. + +Tim agreed. He learned his lesson. He still liked to whistle, but he whistled less. He whistled only when he was happy, not when he was curious. He whistled only in his room, not in the wardrobe. He whistled only his own song, not the bear's song. He whistled softly, not loudly. He whistled wisely, not foolishly. He whistled happily, not annoyingly. He whistled like a boy, not like a bear. +Ben likes to play with his toy plane. He pretends he is a pilot and flies it around the room. He makes zoom and vroom sounds with his mouth. He is happy. + +But then his sister Lily comes in. She wants to play with the plane too. She says, "Give me the plane, Ben. It is my turn." She tries to take it from him. + +Ben says, "No, Lily. It is my plane. You have your own toys. Go away." He holds the plane tight. He is angry. + +Lily says, "You are mean, Ben. Your plane is fake. It is not a real plane. It is just plastic. You are not a pilot. You are silly." She pulls the plane hard. She is rude. + +Ben says, "You are wrong, Lily. My plane is not fake. It is a real plane. I am a pilot. I can fly it anywhere. You are jealous. You are mean." He pushes her away. He is sad. + +They fight and fight. They yell and cry. They make a big mess. They are not nice. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes in. She sees the plane on the floor. She sees Ben and Lily. She is mad. + +She says, "Stop it, Ben and Lily. You are both naughty. You are not sharing. You are not playing nice. You are hurting each other. You are making me unhappy." + +She picks up the plane. She says, "This is not your plane, Ben. This is not your plane, Lily. This is my plane. I bought it for you to share. You are not grateful. You are not careful. You are breaking it." + +She takes the plane away. She says, "You are both in time out. You have to sit on the couch and think about what you did. You have to say sorry to each other. You have to be kind. You have to be good." + +She leaves the room. She is disappointed. + +Ben and Lily sit on the couch. They are quiet. They are ashamed. They look at each other. They say, "Sorry, Ben." "Sorry, Lily." They hug. They are sorry. + +They learn their lesson. They promise to share. They promise to play nice. They promise to be good. They are happy. +Lily and Max are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They make them zoom on the carpet, the sofa and the table. They pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Max says. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars towards each other and crash them. They laugh and pick them up. + +"Uh-oh, look, your car is dirty!" Lily says. She points to Max's car, which has some dust and crumbs on it. + +"That's okay, I can clean it!" Max says. He runs to the bathroom and grabs a bottle of shampoo. He pours some on his car and rubs it with his hands. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily says. She follows him and sees him making bubbles with the shampoo. + +"I'm washing my car, see?" Max says. He holds up his car, which is covered in foam. + +"But that's not how you wash a car, silly!" Lily says. "That's shampoo, it's for your hair, not your car!" + +She takes the bottle from him and puts it back on the shelf. + +"Here, let me help you," she says. She turns on the tap and rinses the shampoo off his car. She dries it with a towel and gives it back to him. + +"There, now your car is clean and shiny!" she says. + +"Thank you, Lily, you're very gentle!" Max says. He hugs her and smiles. + +They go back to the living room and play with their cars again. They zoom them around and have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys and make noise. Sometimes they repeat what their mom and dad say. They think it is funny. + +One day, they find a big box in the living room. It is from their grandma. They open it and see a lot of clothes. There are sweaters, hats, scarves, and gloves. They are all different colors and sizes. + +"Wow, look at all these!" Lila says. + +"Yes, let's try them on!" Sam says. + +They take out the clothes and put them on. Some are too big, some are too small, some are too itchy, some are too warm. They laugh and giggle as they change. + +"Look at me, I'm a snowman!" Sam says, wearing a white sweater, a white hat, and a white scarf. + +"Look at me, I'm a rainbow!" Lila says, wearing a red sweater, a yellow hat, a green scarf, and a blue glove. + +They repeat each other's words and make funny faces. They have a lot of fun. + +Mom and dad come home and see them. They smile and hug them. + +"You look so cute in your new clothes!" mom says. + +"Thank you, grandma, we love them!" dad says. + +Lila and Sam repeat what their mom and dad say. They love their grandma and their new clothes. They find the ones that fit them best and wear them outside. They play in the snow and make a real snowman and a rainbow. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Max. One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Come on, Max, let's go!" Sara says. She runs to the hill with Max. Ben follows them. + +They climb and climb until they reach the top of the hill. They are very tired, but they are happy. They see a lot of trees and flowers and birds on the other side. They also see a pond with ducks and frogs. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Ben says. He wants to go to the pond and feed the ducks. + +"Wait, Ben, we have to go back soon. Mom said we have to be honest and not stay too long," Sara says. She is a good girl and listens to Mom. + +"But I want to see the ducks!" Ben says. He is a curious boy and likes to explore. + +"Please, Ben, let's go. Mom will be worried and angry if we are late," Sara says. She tries to pull Ben back. + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the pond with Max. Sara follows them. + +They reach the pond and see the ducks. They are very cute and quack a lot. Ben and Max throw some bread to the ducks. The ducks come closer and eat the bread. Ben and Max are happy. + +But Sara is not happy. She looks at the sky and sees the sun. The sun is low and orange. It is going to rise soon. That means it is almost night. + +"Ben, Max, we have to go now! The sun is going to rise and it will be dark soon. We have to go home before Mom and Dad come to the park," Sara says. She is scared and worried. + +"Okay, okay, let's go," Ben says. He sees the sun too. He knows Sara is right. He is sorry for making Sara wait and worry. + +They say goodbye to the ducks and run back to the hill. They climb down the hill and see Mom and Dad waiting for them at the gate. They are happy to see them, but they are also nervous. + +"Hi, Mom, hi, Dad, we are back!" Sara says. She smiles and hugs them. + +"Hi, kids, we are glad you are back. We were worried about you. Where were you?" Mom says. She looks at them with love and concern. + +"We were on the other side of the hill. We saw a pond with ducks and frogs. It was very pretty," Ben says. He tells them the truth. He is honest. + +"That sounds nice, but you should have told us where you were going. You should not stay too long in the park. It is not safe when it is dark," Dad says. He is not angry, but he is serious. + +"We are sorry, Mom, we are sorry, Dad. We will not do it again. We will be honest and careful next time," Sara and Ben say. They are sorry too. They know Mom and Dad are right. + +Mom and Dad hug them and kiss them. They are not mad at them. They are proud of them for being honest and brave. + +They go home together with Max. They have dinner and tell stories. They are a happy family. They love each other. +Sara and Lily were playing with their pastel crayons. They liked to draw flowers and butterflies on the paper. The crayons had delicate colors, like pink, yellow and blue. + +"Look, Sara, I made a big sun!" Lily said, showing her drawing to her sister. + +"Wow, that's very pretty, Lily!" Sara said. "Can I use your yellow crayon?" + +"Sure, here you go," Lily said, handing the crayon to Sara. + +Sara started to draw a yellow star next to the sun. But then, something strange happened. The yellow crayon started to vanish in her hand. It became smaller and smaller, until it was gone. + +"Hey, where did the crayon go?" Sara asked, looking at her empty hand. + +"I don't know, Sara, it just vanished!" Lily said, surprised. + +They looked around, but they could not find the crayon anywhere. It was not on the table, on the floor, or in the box. + +"Maybe it went to the sky, to join the sun and the stars," Sara said, trying to guess. + +"Maybe, Sara, maybe," Lily said, nodding. + +They decided to use another crayon to finish their drawings. They chose a green one, to draw some grass and leaves. They hoped the green crayon would not vanish too. They liked their pastel crayons very much. +Anna loves to help her grandma in the garden. She likes to water the flowers, dig the soil, and pick the fruits. Her grandma teaches her the names of the plants and how to take care of them. + +One day, they are pruning the plum tree. Grandma shows Anna how to cut the old branches with the big scissors. Anna tries to reach a branch, but it is too high for her. She leans on the ladder, but it is not stable. She almost falls, but grandma catches her. + +"Be careful, Anna. The ladder is not strong. You can hurt yourself," grandma says. + +"I'm sorry, grandma. I wanted to prune the branch. It has a plum on it. Can I have it?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, my dear. Here, let me get it for you," grandma says. She climbs the ladder and cuts the branch with the plum. She gives it to Anna. + +"Thank you, grandma. It looks delicious. Can I eat it?" Anna says. + +"Yes, you can. But first, wash it with water. It might have dirt on it," grandma says. + +Anna runs to the faucet and washes the plum. She bites into it and smiles. It is juicy and sweet. + +"Mmm, this is the best plum ever. I love prunes. And I love you, grandma," Anna says. + +"I love you too, Anna. You are a good helper. And a good eater. Do you want another prune?" grandma says. + +"Yes, please. And can we make a pie with the rest of the prunes?" Anna says. + +"Sure, we can. That sounds delicious. Come on, let's go to the kitchen," grandma says. + +They hold hands and walk to the house. They are happy and full of prunes. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They saw an elderly lady sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely. Lily and Tom wanted to make her happy, so they ran to her and offered her their ball. + +The elderly lady smiled and thanked them. She said she liked their ball very much. She asked them if they wanted to hear a story. Lily and Tom nodded. They liked stories. + +The elderly lady told them a story about a word that could make anything happen. She said the word was very powerful and secret. She said she would tell them the word if they promised to keep it to themselves. Lily and Tom promised. They were curious and excited. + +The elderly lady whispered the word in their ears. It was a strange and scary word. Lily and Tom felt a shiver down their spines. They repeated the word after her. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and stormy. The wind howled and the thunder roared. The park was filled with shadows and monsters. Lily and Tom screamed and dropped their ball. They wanted to run away, but they couldn't move. They were stuck to the bench. + +The elderly lady laughed wickedly. She said she had tricked them. She said the word was a curse that made their worst fears come true. She said she was a witch who liked to make children suffer. She said she would keep their ball and their souls. She said they would never see their parents or their home again. Lily and Tom cried and begged for mercy, but the elderly lady ignored them. She took their ball and flew away on her broomstick, leaving them alone in the dark and the horror. +Tom was a boy who liked to fold paper. He could fold paper into many shapes, like birds, boats and hats. He liked to show his paper shapes to his friends and family. They said he was very good at folding paper. + +One day, Tom went to school with a big paper bird he had folded. He was very proud of his bird and wanted to show it to his teacher and classmates. He put his bird on his desk and waited for the bell to ring. + +But before the bell rang, a mean boy named Sam saw Tom's bird and grabbed it. He laughed and said, "What is this? A silly paper bird? This is not a toy, this is trash!" He tore Tom's bird into pieces and threw them in the bin. + +Tom was very sad and angry. He felt tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat. He wanted to yell at Sam and get his bird back, but he was too scared. He felt ashamed that he liked to fold paper and that his bird was destroyed. + +The teacher saw what happened and came to Tom's desk. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry that Sam was so mean to you. He should not have done that. Your paper bird was very beautiful and clever. I like that you fold paper. It is a fun and creative thing to do. Don't be ashamed of your hobby. Be proud of it. Here, I have some more paper for you. Do you want to fold another bird with me?" She smiled and gave Tom a hug. + +Tom nodded and smiled back. He felt a little better. He took the paper and started to fold it with the teacher. He decided that he would not let Sam ruin his joy of folding paper. He knew that folding paper was not silly or trash. It was a way of making art and expressing himself. He was a boy who liked to fold paper, and he was not ashamed of it. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They lived near a big hill with rocks and trees. Sometimes they would climb the rocks and pretend they were kings of the hill. But their mom always told them to be careful and not go too close to the edge, where there was a big drop and a cliff. + +One day, Tom and Sam were playing on the rocks as usual. Tom saw a shiny thing on the edge and wanted to see what it was. He forgot what his mom said and walked to the edge. Sam saw him and shouted, "Tom, stop! It's dangerous!" But Tom did not listen. He reached for the shiny thing and slipped. He fell off the edge and down the cliff. + +Sam was very scared and ran to get help. He found his mom and told her what happened. His mom was very worried and called the doctor. They went to the cliff and saw Tom lying on the ground. He was hurt and bleeding. The doctor came and took him to the hospital. + +Sam felt very sorry for Tom. He wished he had stopped him from going to the edge. He cried and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, mom. I should have listened to you." His mom hugged him and said, "It's not your fault, Sam. You tried to warn him. I'm sorry, too. I hope Tom will be okay." They prayed for Tom and waited for the doctor to tell them how he was. +Lila was a kid who liked to play with flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and make crowns with them. But she had to be careful, because flowers were delicate. They could break or wilt if she was rough with them. + +One day, Lila saw a big, bright sunflower in the garden. She wanted to pick it and take it home. She ran to the sunflower and reached for it. But her mom saw her and said, "No, Lila, don't do that. That sunflower is not ours. It belongs to the old lady who lives here. She loves her flowers very much. We have to respect them and leave them alone." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She really wanted the sunflower. She thought it was the most beautiful flower in the world. She tried to resist her mom and pull the sunflower. She said, "But I want it, mom. I want it. Please, please, please." + +Her mom shook her head and held her hand. She said, "Lila, I know you like the sunflower, but you can't have it. It's not nice to take things that are not yours. How would you feel if someone took your favorite toy or your favorite book? You would be very sad, right? The old lady would be very sad too if you took her sunflower. And the sunflower would be very sad too if you broke it. It needs to stay in the ground, where it can get water and sun and grow." + +Lila looked at the sunflower and saw that it was smiling at her. She realized that her mom was right. She didn't want to make anyone sad. She wanted to make everyone happy. She let go of the sunflower and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, sunflower. You are very pretty, but you are not mine. I will not touch you. I will just look at you and say hello." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That's very good, Lila. I'm proud of you. You are a kind and respectful kid. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. I bought some seeds for you. You can plant them in our backyard and grow your own flowers. Then you can play with them as much as you want. How does that sound?" + +Lila's eyes lit up. She said, "Really, mom? Thank you, thank you, thank you. That sounds wonderful. I love you, mom. I love flowers. And I love sunflowers too. Even if they are not mine." +One day, a red squirrel was looking for nuts in the park. He saw a big tree with many nuts on it. He climbed up the tree and started to eat the nuts. He was very happy. + +But then, he heard a loud bark. He looked down and saw a big dog. The dog was running towards the tree. The dog wanted to catch the squirrel. The squirrel was very scared. + +"Help! Help!" the squirrel shouted. "There is a big dog! He wants to eat me!" + +The other squirrels heard him and came to see. They saw the dog and the red squirrel. They wanted to help the red squirrel. + +"Quick! Jump to the other tree!" one of them said. "The dog cannot climb the tree!" + +The red squirrel listened and jumped to the other tree. The dog followed him and tried to jump too. But the dog was too heavy and fell down. He hit his head on a rock and started to cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" the dog cried. "That hurts!" + +The red squirrel was safe. He thanked the other squirrels for helping him. They all became friends and shared the nuts. The dog ran away and never came back. The red squirrel was very happy. He learned to be careful and to escape from danger. +Ben and Mia are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big race track in the backyard. They want to see who has the fastest car. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben says. He pushes his red car on the track. Mia pushes her blue car. The cars speed around the curves and loops. Ben and Mia cheer for their cars. + +"My car is faster than yours!" Ben says. He sees his car in front of Mia's car. + +"No, it's not!" Mia says. She sees her car catch up with Ben's car. + +The cars are very close. They reach the finish line at the same time. Ben and Mia look at each other. They don't know who won. + +"Wow, that was a tie!" Ben says. + +"That was a good race!" Mia says. + +They smile and high-five. They are both happy. They both have success. + +They put their cars away and go inside. They are tired from playing. They drink some juice and eat some cookies. They sit on the couch and watch a cartoon. They are not restless anymore. They are calm and cozy. They are still best friends. +Sam and Mia liked to act like pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They put a flag on it and made sounds like the sea. They pretended to find gold and jewels and fight with other pirates. + +One day, they saw a new box in the yard. It was bigger than their ship and had a picture of a boat on it. Sam and Mia wanted to see what was inside. They ran to the box and opened it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. He saw a lot of toys and books and clothes. "This must be a port where the pirates trade their treasure!" + +"Let's take some!" Mia said. She grabbed a doll and a hat. "We can be the richest pirates ever!" + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was their dad. He was angry. He had bought the box for a charity. He wanted to help people who had no toys and books and clothes. He did not know that Sam and Mia had opened it. + +"Sam! Mia! What are you doing?" he shouted. "You have ruined the box! You have taken things that are not yours! You have been very naughty!" + +Sam and Mia felt scared and sorry. They dropped the toys and books and clothes. They did not want to act like pirates anymore. They wanted to say sorry to their dad and to the people who had no toys and books and clothes. But their dad was too mad. He took them inside and sent them to their room. He said they had to stay there until he said so. He said they had to think about what they had done. + +Sam and Mia cried in their room. They wished they had not opened the unknown box. They wished they had not acted like bad pirates. They wished they had been good. +Sam likes to listen to the radio. He likes the songs and the stories. He has a small radio in his room. He can turn it on and off by himself. + +One day, Sam wants to listen to the radio, but it does not work. He tries to turn it on and off, but nothing happens. He looks at the radio and sees a wire. The wire is loose. He thinks maybe the wire is the problem. + +He takes the radio to his mom. He says, "Mom, my radio is broken. Can you fix it?" Mom is busy. She is making lunch. She says, "Not now, Sam. I have to finish lunch. Put the radio on the table and wait." + +Sam puts the radio on the table, but he does not wait. He is persistent. He wants to listen to the radio. He thinks maybe he can fix it by himself. He takes the wire and tries to push it into the radio. He does not know that the wire is dangerous. He does not know that the radio is plugged in. + +Suddenly, there is a loud noise and a spark. Sam feels a shock. He drops the wire and the radio. He cries out loud. Mom hears him and runs to him. She sees what happened. She is scared and angry. She says, "Sam, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself. You should never touch wires. You should listen to me." + +She hugs Sam and checks if he is okay. He is okay, but he is sad. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to listen to the radio. I like the radio." Mom says, "I know, Sam. I like the radio too. But you have to be careful. Wires are not toys. They can be dangerous. Next time, you have to wait for me or ask for help." + +She takes Sam to the couch and gives him a kiss. She says, "Let's have lunch and then we can try to fix the radio together. Okay?" Sam nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Sam." They smile and hug. The radio is still on the table, but it does not matter. They have each other. +Sara and Ben love to watch movies with their mom and dad. They always make popcorn and sit on the big couch. Sometimes they watch funny movies, sometimes they watch scary movies.

They say, "You did not mail me your picture. You are a bad friend!" They stop being friends. They cry and cry. The end. +Lily and Ben were twins, but they liked different things. Lily liked to soak in the bath with bubbles and toys. Ben liked to run and jump outside with his ball and bike. One day, their mom said they could have a treat after lunch. She gave them each a piece of chocolate. + +"Yum, this is the best chocolate ever!" Lily said, taking a bite. + +"Can I have yours?" Ben asked, looking at Lily's chocolate. + +"No, this is mine. You have your own," Lily said, holding her chocolate close. + +"But yours is different. It has nuts and raisins. Mine is plain. I want to try yours," Ben said, reaching for Lily's chocolate. + +"Stop it, Ben! You can't have mine. You can trade with me, if you want," Lily said, moving away from Ben. + +"Trade? What do you mean?" Ben asked, curious. + +"Well, if you give me something you like, I can give you something I like. Then we both have something different," Lily explained. + +"Like what?" Ben asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at Ben's ball and bike outside the window. She liked to play with them sometimes, but not as much as Ben. She had an idea. + +"How about this? If you give me your ball, I can give you my chocolate. Then you can try the nuts and raisins, and I can play with your ball," Lily said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked his ball, but he also wanted to try the nuts and raisins. He decided to agree. + +"Okay, deal. Here is my ball. Give me your chocolate," Ben said, handing Lily his ball. + +Lily gave Ben her chocolate. They both smiled. + +"Thank you, Lily. This chocolate is good. I like the nuts and raisins," Ben said, taking a bite. + +"You're welcome, Ben. This ball is fun. I like to bounce it and catch it," Lily said, playing with the ball. + +They both enjoyed their different treats and learned to share. Their mom was proud of them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They wanted to make an igloo, a big house of snow. They had a lot of snowballs, but they did not know how to put them together. + +"Let's organize the snowballs," Tom said. "We can make a circle on the ground, and then another circle on top, and then another one, until we have a dome." + +"OK," Lily said. "But how do we make a door?" + +"We can leave a space for the door, and then cover it with a big snowball when we are inside," Tom said. + +They worked hard to organize the snowballs. They made a big dome with a small space for the door. They crawled inside and pushed the big snowball to close the door. They were very happy. They had made an igloo. + +But then they heard a strange noise outside. It sounded like a growl. They were scared. What was it? Was it a bear? A wolf? An unknown animal? + +They peeked through a small hole in the snowball. They saw a big, furry, white creature. It had a long nose, big ears, and sharp teeth. It was sniffing around the igloo. + +"It's a polar bear!" Tom whispered. "What do we do?" + +"Shh, maybe it will go away," Lily whispered. "Don't move, don't make a sound." + +They hugged each other and hoped the polar bear would not find them. They wished they had not made an igloo. They wished they were home. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. They had fun together. + +But soon they felt tired. Their eyes were heavy and their mouths were yawning. Their mom came and said, "It's time for a nap, my sweeties. You need to rest and grow." + +Tom and Lily did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, no, no, mom. We are not sleepy. We are busy." + +Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you. If you nap now, you will get a special envelope when you wake up. It has something nice inside. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Lily were curious. They liked surprises. They said, "Yes, yes, yes, mom. What is it? What is it?" + +Mom said, "You have to nap first. Then you will find out. Come on, let's go to your beds. I will read you a story and sing you a song." + +Tom and Lily followed mom to their beds. They snuggled under their blankets and listened to mom's voice. She read them a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. She sang them a song about a rainbow and a star. They felt warm and cozy. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. + +When they woke up, they saw an envelope on their pillows. It was red and shiny. It had their names on it. They opened it and found a card inside. It had a picture of a big cake with candles and balloons. It said, "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily! You are four years old today! We love you so much! Love, mom and dad." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged mom and dad and thanked them for the card. They said, "We love you too! Thank you for the surprise! Can we have cake now?" + +Mom and dad laughed and said, "Of course you can. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. We have more surprises for you. Happy birthday, my sweeties!" + +Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They saw a big cake with candles and balloons. They also saw presents wrapped in colorful paper. They clapped their hands and cheered. They had a wonderful birthday. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wanted to make a fort with the box, but it was too heavy for them to move. + +"Let's ask Dad to help us," Lily said. + +"OK," Ben agreed. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Dad was making lunch. They asked him to support them with the box. Dad smiled and said he would help them after they ate. + +Lily and Ben were restless. They could not wait to play with the box. They ate their lunch very fast and ran back to the garage. They saw that Dad had moved the box to the backyard. He had also cut a door and a window in the box. + +"Wow, thank you, Dad!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Have fun with your fort," Dad said. + +Lily and Ben climbed into the box. They pretended it was a castle, a spaceship, and a cave. They had a lot of fun with their fort. They gave each other a look of happiness. They were glad that Dad had supported them with the box. +Lily loved candy. She always wanted more and more candy. She did not like to share her candy with anyone. She hid her candy under her bed and in her closet. + +One day, Lily saw a big jar of candy in the store. She wanted it so much. She did not have enough money to buy it. She saw a boy who had some money in his hand. He was looking at some toys. Lily had an idea. She ran to the boy and snatched his money. She ran to the jar of candy and gave the money to the lady. She took the jar and ran out of the store. + +The boy was very sad. He had saved his money for a long time to buy a toy for his sister. His sister was sick and he wanted to make her happy. He cried and cried. The lady saw what happened. She called the police. + +Lily ran to her home. She opened the jar and ate some candy. She felt happy for a moment. Then she felt sick. She ate too much candy. Her stomach hurt. She felt weak. She wanted to drink some water. She looked for her water bottle. She could not find it. She had left it in the store. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was the police. They had followed her. They saw the jar of candy. They knew she had stolen it. They took her to the store. They made her give back the jar and the money. They made her say sorry to the boy. The boy was still sad. He did not have enough money to buy the toy for his sister. + +Lily felt very bad. She realized she had done a bad thing. She realized she had hurt the boy and his sister. She realized she had been selfish and greedy. She realized she did not need so much candy. She realized she needed to share and be kind. She asked the lady if she could help her. The lady said yes. She gave Lily a small bag of candy. She told Lily to give it to the boy's sister. She said it was a gift from Lily. + +Lily walked to the boy. She gave him the bag of candy. She told him it was for his sister. She told him she was sorry. She told him she wanted to be his friend. The boy smiled. He thanked her. He said he forgave her. He said he wanted to be her friend too. He said he would share his toy with her. + +Lily felt happy. She felt better. She learned a lesson. She learned that stealing is wrong. She learned that candy is not everything. She learned that sharing and being kind is good. She learned that being a good friend is better than having a lot of candy. +It was a cold day and Anna was very happy. She had a new coat that was red and warm. She wanted to show it to her friend Ben, who lived next door. She put on her coat and went outside. + +"Hi, Ben!" she said. "Look at my new coat! Do you like it?" + +Ben looked at Anna and smiled. He liked her coat, but he was a little sad. He did not have a new coat. His coat was old and gray and had a hole in the sleeve. He felt cold and wished he had a new coat too. + +"Your coat is very nice, Anna," he said. "But I don't have a new coat. My coat is old and bad. I am cold and sad." + +Anna saw that Ben was sad and felt sorry for him. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea. She took off her new coat and wrapped it around Ben. + +"Here, Ben," she said. "You can wear my new coat. It is big enough for both of us. We can share it and be warm and happy." + +Ben was surprised and touched by Anna's kindness. He hugged her and thanked her. He felt warm and happy. He put his arm around her and they walked together. + +"Thank you, Anna," he said. "You are a very good friend. You have a new coat and a big heart." + +Anna smiled and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a very good friend too. You have an old coat and a big smile." + +They laughed and played and forgot about the cold. They did not need a new coat or an old coat. They had each other and that was enough. They were the best friends yet. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have a big box of toy tools, too. They pretend to fix their toys when they break. + +One day, Tom finds a screw on the floor. He thinks it is from his toy truck. He picks it up and tries to put it back. But he does not know where it goes. He looks at his truck and sees many holes. He tries to fit the screw in different holes, but none of them work. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Sam asks. He sees Tom with his truck and the screw. + +"I'm trying to fix my truck. It has a loose screw," Tom says. + +"Let me see," Sam says. He takes the truck and the screw from Tom. He looks at them carefully. He knows a lot about toy tools. He is older and smarter than Tom. + +"That's not a loose screw. That's a spare screw. It does not belong to your truck. It belongs to the box of tools. You have to remove it from your truck and put it back in the box," Sam says. + +"But I want to fix my truck. I want to use the screw," Tom says. He feels sad and angry. He wants his truck and his screw back. + +"No, you can't. You don't know how to fix your truck. You will break it more. You have to listen to me. I'm your big brother. I'm dependable. I know what's best for you," Sam says. He holds the truck and the screw tightly. He does not want to give them to Tom. + +Tom and Sam start to argue. They raise their voices and pull the truck and the screw. They do not share. They do not play nicely. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what's wrong. She sees them fighting over the truck and the screw. She is not happy. She tells them to stop and calm down. She asks them what happened. + +Tom and Sam tell her their stories. They blame each other. They want Mom to take their side. + +Mom listens to them. She understands their feelings. But she does not like their behavior. She tells them they have to apologize and make up. She tells them they have to share their toys and their tools. She tells them they have to help each other and learn from each other. She tells them they have to be kind and respectful to each other. She tells them they are brothers and they have to love each other. + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and kiss. They give back the truck and the screw. They agree to play together and fix their toys together. They thank Mom for her advice. They tell her they love her. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. She tells them she loves them, too. She tells them they are good boys and dependable brothers. She tells them they can have a snack and play some more. She tells them to have fun and be careful. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They go to the kitchen and get some cookies and milk. They go back to their room and play with their toy cars and trucks. They use their toy tools and fix their toys. They have fun and learn. They are friends and brothers. They are happy. +Tom is a hunter. He likes to go to the woods and look for animals. He has a big gun and a dog. His dog helps him find the animals. Tom is a great hunter. + +One day, Tom sees a big deer in the woods. He wants to shoot the deer and take it home. He points his gun at the deer and pulls the trigger. But the gun makes a loud noise and the deer runs away. Tom is sad. He missed the deer. + +Tom hears a voice behind him. It is his friend Ben. Ben is also a hunter. He has a bow and arrows. He says, "Hi, Tom. I saw you miss the deer. That was a bad shot. Do you want to come with me and try again?" + +Tom is happy. He likes Ben. He says, "Yes, Ben. I want to come with you. Thank you for inviting me. Maybe we can find another deer." + +Tom and Ben go to another part of the woods. They see a small rabbit. Ben says, "Look, Tom. A rabbit. Do you want to shoot it?" Tom says, "No, Ben. I don't want to shoot the rabbit. The rabbit is cute. I want to shoot a big animal." + +Ben says, "OK, Tom. Let's keep looking. Maybe we can find a bear or a wolf. They are big and scary. They are good for hunters." + +Tom and Ben walk and walk. They hope to find a big and scary animal. They are great hunters. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are restless. They do not want to seat on the sofa and watch TV. They want to have fun. They look at each other and smile. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to their room and find places to hide. Anna hides under the bed. Ben hides in the closet. They wait for their mom to find them. + +Mom comes to their room and looks around. She sees the bed and the closet. She pretends not to know where they are. + +"Where are Anna and Ben?" she says. "Are they in the kitchen? No. Are they in the bathroom? No. Are they in the living room? No. Where can they be?" + +Anna and Ben giggle. They think mom is funny. They stay quiet and do not make a sound. + +Mom walks to the bed and lifts the blanket. She sees Anna and says, "Boo!" + +Anna screams and laughs. She hugs mom and says, "You found me!" + +Mom walks to the closet and opens the door. She sees Ben and says, "Boo!" + +Ben screams and laughs. He hugs mom and says, "You found me!" + +Mom says, "You are very good at hiding. But now it is time for dinner. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +Anna and Ben follow mom. They are happy. They had fun playing hide and seek. They are not restless anymore. They are hungry. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big map in their grandpa's attic. The map showed many countries, some with water and some with sand. Ben pointed to a country with sand and said, "Let's go there!" + +Lily looked at the country and saw a picture of a pyramid. She said, "That looks mysterious. What is a pyramid?" + +Grandpa heard them and came to see. He smiled and said, "A pyramid is a very old building made of stones. People who lived long ago made them in a dry country called Egypt. They put their kings and queens inside with treasures and secrets." + +Ben and Lily were curious. They asked, "Can we see a pyramid, grandpa?" + +Grandpa said, "Maybe one day, when you are older. But for now, you can use your imagination and pretend. Here, take these hats and scarves. They will protect you from the sun and the sand. And this book has more pictures and stories of Egypt. You can read it together and learn more." + +Ben and Lily thanked grandpa and put on the hats and scarves. They took the book and the map and went to their backyard. They spread the map on the grass and pretended it was the sand. They looked at the book and pointed to the pyramids and the animals and the people. They made up their own adventure in the mysterious dry country. They had fun until it was time for dinner. Then they ran inside and told grandpa what they saw and did. Grandpa was proud of them and gave them a hug. He said, "You are very smart and brave, Ben and Lily. Maybe one day, you will really go to Egypt and see the pyramids for yourself." +Lily was a little frog who loved to hop. She hopped from one lily pad to another, making splashes in the pond. She liked to hop so much that she sometimes hopped too far and got lost. + +One day, she hopped so high that she saw a rainbow in the sky. It was bright and colorful, and it made her happy. She wanted to hop closer to the rainbow, so she hopped and hopped and hopped. But the rainbow was very far away, and she did not see where she was going. + +She hopped out of the pond and into the forest. She did not know the forest. It was dark and scary, and there were many strange noises. She was afraid and lonely. She wished she had stayed in the pond with her friends. + +She heard a voice behind a bush. It said, "Hello, who are you?" Lily was scared, but she answered, "I am Lily, a frog. I was hopping to the rainbow, but I got lost. Who are you?" + +The voice said, "I am Remy, a rabbit. I live in the forest. I was looking for some carrots, but I found you. You are not a carrot, but you are friendly. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily was surprised, but she said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. But I also want to go back to the pond. I miss my friends there." + +Remy said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I know the way to the pond. Follow me, and we can hop together." + +Lily and Remy hopped out of the forest and back to the pond. Lily was happy to see her friends again. They were happy to see her too. They welcomed Remy and shared their lily pads with him. Lily learned that the rainbow was beautiful, but it was not worth leaving her friends behind. She also learned that she could make new friends in different places. She thanked Remy for helping her and being her friend. They hopped and played and had fun together. + +The moral of the story is: Don't hop too far from your friends, but be friendly to new ones. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bottle of soap and a wand to make bubbles. Anna liked to blow big bubbles and watch them float in the air. Ben liked to pop the bubbles with his fingers. + +"Look, Anna, I popped a bubble!" Ben said. + +"Good job, Ben. But don't pop all of them. I want to see them fly," Anna said. + +Anna blew another bubble. It was very big and shiny. She saw a rainbow inside it. She smiled and tried to catch it with her hand. + +But Ben was impatient. He ran to the bubble and popped it with his finger. Anna was sad. She wanted to see the rainbow. + +"Ben, why did you do that? That was my bubble!" Anna said. + +"Sorry, Anna. I wanted to pop it. It was fun," Ben said. + +Anna was angry. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She took the bottle and the wand and walked away. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make Anna sad. He wanted to play with her. He followed her and said, "Anna, wait. I have something to show you." + +Anna stopped and looked at Ben. He had a small box in his hand. He opened it and said, "Look, Anna. I found this in the shed. It is a toy. It makes bubbles too. But they are different. They are not round. They are star-shaped." + +Anna was curious. She had never seen star-shaped bubbles before. She went closer to Ben and looked at the box. It was a bubble machine. It had a button and a hole. Ben pressed the button and the machine made a noise. Then, star-shaped bubbles came out of the hole. They were very pretty. They sparkled in the sun. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They forgot their fight. They played with the star-shaped bubbles. They tried to catch them and count them. They laughed and had fun. + +They discovered a new way to make bubbles. They were happy. +Lily liked to draw with crayons. She had many colors of crayons in her box. She liked to draw flowers and trees and suns on her paper. She was very happy when she drew. + +One day, she saw a new crayon in her box. It was shiny and bright. It was gold. Lily wanted to draw with the gold crayon. She took it out of the box and looked at it. It was very pretty. + +But when she tried to draw with it, it was rough. It did not make smooth lines on her paper. It made scratches and holes. Lily did not like the rough crayon. She wanted to put it back in the box and use another crayon. + +But the gold crayon did not want to go back. It stuck to Lily's hand. It was very strong. It did not let go. Lily tried to pull it off, but it hurt. She cried and screamed. She wanted to get rid of the rough crayon. + +But the rough crayon did not care. It kept scratching Lily's hand. It made blood come out. It made Lily feel very bad. It was a bad crayon. It was a mean crayon. It was a crayon that Lily wished she never saw. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. But Mom said no. She said steak was too big and too hard for them. She said they had to eat soup and bread. + +Ben and Lily did not like soup and bread. They wanted steak. They saw a big steak on the table. It was for Dad. He was not home yet. Ben had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's climb on the chair and get the steak. We can eat it before Dad comes." + +Lily nodded. She liked Ben's idea. They climbed on the chair and reached for the steak. But the steak was too far. They had to stretch and lean. They almost fell. They tried again and again. But they could not get the steak. + +Then they heard a noise. It was Mom. She came into the kitchen. She saw Ben and Lily on the chair. She saw the steak on the table. She was angry. She said, "What are you doing? Get down from there. You are not supposed to touch the steak. That is for Dad. You are naughty." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They got down from the chair. They said sorry to Mom. They felt bad. They did not want to make Mom angry. They did not want to eat steak anymore. They ate their soup and bread. They hoped Dad would not be mad too. They hoped he would share his steak with them. They hoped he would come home soon. The table looked empty without him. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a big tree house made of pine wood. It was strong and cozy. They climbed up the ladder and looked around. + +"Look, Tom, there is a deer!" Lily said, pointing to a brown animal with horns. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Tom said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Lily nodded. They climbed down the ladder and walked slowly towards the deer. The deer saw them and stopped eating grass. It looked at them with big eyes. + +"Hello, deer, we are Tom and Lily," Tom said softly. "We live in the tree house. We want to be your friends." + +The deer did not run away. It sniffed Tom's hand and licked it. Tom smiled. He felt the deer's warm tongue and soft fur. + +"Lily, come and pet the deer," Tom said. "It is very nice." + +Lily was a bit scared. She stayed behind Tom. She did not know if the deer would hurt her. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be afraid," Tom said. "The deer is not mean. You can trust it." + +Lily trusted Tom. He was her brother and he was strong. He would protect her. She took a step forward and reached out her hand. The deer sniffed her hand and licked it too. Lily giggled. She felt the deer's warm tongue and soft fur. + +"See, Lily, the deer likes us," Tom said. "We are its friends." + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She and Tom had a new friend in the forest. They petted the deer and talked to it. The deer wagged its tail and nuzzled them. They played until the sun went down. Then they said goodbye to the deer and climbed up the ladder to their tree house. They hugged each other and fell asleep. They dreamed of the deer and the pine wood. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a large tree with red apples. They wanted to pick some apples for their mom. + +"Let's get a basket and climb the tree," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. + +They ran to their bike and found a basket in the back. They carried the basket to the tree and put it on the ground. Tom climbed the tree first. He reached for an apple and pulled it off. He threw it to Lily, who caught it and put it in the basket. + +"Good job, Tom!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily!" Tom said. + +They did this until the basket was full of apples. They were very happy. They climbed down the tree and lifted the basket. It was very heavy. + +"Wow, we have so many apples!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we do! We succeeded!" Tom said. + +They carried the basket to their bike and rode home. They gave the apples to their mom, who smiled and hugged them. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom! You are very sweet and clever!" Mom said. + +"You're welcome, Mom! We love you!" Lily and Tom said. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the puzzles. They have puzzles with animals, cars, flowers and shapes. + +One day, they decide to play with the puzzles together. They take out all the pieces and mix them up. Then they try to match the pieces that belong to the same puzzle. Lily finds a piece with a cute bunny. She looks for the other piece with the bunny's tail. + +"Ben, look! I have a bunny!" she says. + +Ben looks at her piece. He has a piece with a cute duck. He looks for the other piece with the duck's beak. + +"Lily, look! I have a duck!" he says. + +They smile at each other. They like the cute animals. They keep looking for the matching pieces. They find more animals, like a cat, a dog, a cow and a pig. They have fun making the puzzles. + +Their parent comes to see what they are doing. Their parent is proud of them. Their parent says, "You are very good at matching the pieces. You are smart and creative. I love you very much." + +Lily and Ben hug their parent. They say, "We love you too. Thank you for the puzzles. They are fun and cute." + +They finish the puzzles and show them to their parent. Their parent claps and praises them. They are happy and proud. They put the puzzles away and play with other toys. They are good twins. +Poppy is a kind girl who likes to sort her toys. She has many toys of different colors and shapes. She puts them in boxes and baskets by their colors and shapes. She has a box for red toys, a basket for round toys, and so on. + +One day, Poppy has a new friend over. His name is Ben. Ben likes to play with toys too, but he does not like to sort them. He takes out Poppy's toys and mixes them up. He throws them on the floor and on the bed. He makes a big mess. + +Poppy is sad and angry. She says to Ben, "Why do you do that? I like to sort my toys. You make them all messy. That is not nice." + +Ben says, "I don't like to sort. I like to play. Sorting is boring. Playing is fun. You should play with me." + +Poppy says, "But sorting is fun too. It helps me find my toys. And it makes my room look nice. You should sort with me." + +Ben says, "No, I don't want to sort. I want to play. You are no fun." + +Poppy and Ben are not happy. They do not want to play together. They sit on opposite sides of the room and look at each other. + +Then, Poppy has an idea. She says to Ben, "Maybe we can do both. Maybe we can sort and play. We can make a game of sorting. We can see who can sort the most toys in the shortest time. And we can make stories with the toys we sort. Do you want to try?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "That sounds interesting. Maybe that can be fun. OK, let's try." + +Poppy and Ben smile. They start to sort and play. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to drive them on the floor and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, Lily found a new car in her toy box. It was shiny and red and had a big horn. Lily was very happy and wanted to show it to Ben. She drove it to his house and knocked on the door. Ben opened the door and saw the car. He liked it very much and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I drive your car, Lily?" he asked. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own cars. Go away!" Lily said. She was not modest. She was proud and greedy. + +Ben was sad and hurt. He went back to his house and cried. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. + +Lily drove her car around the street. She felt lonely and bored. She saw other kids playing with their cars and sharing them. They looked happy and friendly. She wished she had someone to play with. + +She remembered Ben and how he always played with her and gave her hugs. She felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she was wrong and mean. She wanted to say sorry and make up with Ben. + +She drove her car back to his house and knocked on the door. Ben opened the door and saw her. He was surprised and curious. + +"Lily, what do you want?" he asked. + +"I want to say sorry, Ben. I was not nice to you. I want to share my car with you. You are my friend and I love you. Can you forgive me?" Lily said. She was modest and kind. + +Ben smiled and nodded. He was happy and generous. He forgave her and hugged her. "I love you too, Lily. You are my friend and I am sorry too. Can we play together?" he said. + +"Yes, we can. Let's drive our cars and have fun!" Lily said. + +They drove their cars on the floor and made noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! They laughed and hugged. They were friends again. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to share and be modest than to be greedy and proud. Friends are more important than things. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them zoom and beep and race. They pretend they are drivers in a big city. + +"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Tom says. He pushes his red car along the path. + +"No, it's not! My car is cleverer than yours!" Lily says. She turns her yellow car around a corner. + +They play for a long time, until they hear their mom calling them. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time for lunch! Hurry up, please!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily stop playing and look at their cars. They see that their cars are not moving anymore. + +"Oh no, our cars are out of fuel!" Tom says. + +"What is fuel?" Lily asks. + +"Fuel is what makes the cars go. It's like food for cars. We need to fill them up again." Tom says. + +He picks up his car and shows Lily a small hole on the bottom. + +"See, this is where the fuel goes. We need to find something to put in there." He says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a bottle of water on the table. + +"I have an idea! We can use water as fuel!" She says. + +She picks up her car and the bottle of water. She pours some water into the hole of her car. + +"Look, Tom, my car is full of fuel now!" She says. + +She puts her car on the ground and pushes it. The car moves a little bit, then stops. + +"It's not working, Lily. Water is not fuel. Water is for drinking, not for cars." Tom says. + +He shakes his head and puts his car back on the path. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go inside. Maybe Mom has some real fuel for our cars." He says. + +He runs towards the house. + +Lily follows him, holding her car and the bottle of water. + +"Maybe you're right, Tom. But I still think my car is cleverer than yours." She says. +Lily and Sam were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play. They got out of their beds and looked for something fun. + +They saw a big box in the hall. It had a blue ribbon on it. They opened the box. They found a lot of toys inside. They were happy. + +They took out the toys and played with them. They made a lot of noise. They did not hear Mom coming. + +Mom was angry. She saw the mess and the toys. She knew the box was for the birthday party. She said, "Lily and Sam, what did you do? You ruined the surprise! You were supposed to nap, not play. Go back to your beds now!" + +Lily and Sam were sad. They cried. They put the toys back in the box. They went back to their beds. They did not have any fun. They wished they had napped. +Anna likes to sew with her mom. She has a box of colorful threads and a big needle. She makes dolls and blankets and hats for her toys. Mom helps her when the thread is too thin or the needle is too sharp. + +One day, Anna wants to sew a dress for her doll. She picks a pink thread and a white fabric. She asks mom to cut the fabric for her. Mom says, "Okay, but be careful with the needle. Don't poke yourself or the doll." + +Anna nods and starts to sew. She makes a small hole in the fabric and puts the needle through. She pulls the thread and makes a stitch. She does it again and again, until she has a line of stitches. She is very proud of her work. + +She shows mom her dress. Mom smiles and says, "You did a great job, Anna. You are a good sewer. Can I see the dress?" + +Anna gives mom the dress. Mom looks at it and says, "Oh, no. There is a problem. The thread is too thin. It breaks easily. Look, the stitches are coming apart. The dress will fall off the doll." + +Anna feels sad. She worked hard on the dress. She says, "But I like the pink thread. It is pretty. Can I use it again?" + +Mom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. The pink thread is not good for sewing. It is too weak. You need a stronger thread. I have some other colors that are better. Do you want to try them?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the pink thread, but she doesn't want her dress to break. She says, "Okay, mom. I will try a different thread. Can you help me fix the dress?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Anna. I will help you. We can use a thicker thread and make stronger stitches. Then the dress will stay on the doll. And we can add some pink buttons or ribbons to make it more pretty. How does that sound?" + +Anna smiles and says, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom hugs Anna and says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are the best daughter ever." +Ben and Lily love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big plane. The plane is red and blue and has wings and wheels. They like to make the plane fly in the air and land on the ground. + +One day, they are playing with the plane in the living room. They take turns to hold the plane and make noises. "Vroom, vroom, the plane is fast!" says Ben. "Beep, beep, the plane is jolly!" says Lily. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, their big brother Tom comes in. Tom is angry and bored. He does not like to play with Ben and Lily. He thinks they are silly and noisy. He sees the plane and wants to take it. He grabs the plane from Lily and says, "This is my plane now. You can't have it." + +Ben and Lily are sad and scared. They try to get the plane back, but Tom is strong and mean. He pushes them away and says, "Go away, you babies. This plane is too good for you." He runs to his room with the plane. + +Ben and Lily follow him and knock on his door. They say, "Please, Tom, give us back our plane. We love our plane. It is our favorite toy." But Tom does not listen. He says, "No, this is my plane. I will do what I want with it." He opens the window and throws the plane out. The plane falls and breaks. It is destroyed. + +Ben and Lily cry and scream. They see their plane in pieces on the ground. They are very sad and angry. They say, "Tom, you are bad and mean. You destroyed our plane. You made us unhappy. We don't like you." + +Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He sees how much he hurt his brother and sister. He says, "I'm sorry, Ben and Lily. I was wrong and selfish. I should not have taken your plane. I should not have destroyed it. I was not jolly. I was nasty. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben and Lily are still sad, but they are also kind. They say, "We forgive you, Tom. But you have to be nice and share. You have to play with us and not hurt us. You have to be jolly and not angry." + +Tom nods and hugs them. He says, "I will, Ben and Lily. I will be nice and share. I will play with you and not hurt you. I will be jolly and not angry. I love you, Ben and Lily. You are my brother and sister." + +They smile and hug him back. They say, "We love you, Tom. You are our brother. We are a family." They go downstairs and look for another toy to play with. They find a train and a car and a doll. They play together and have fun. They are jolly. +Tim and Lily went to the store with Mom. They saw many things they liked, but Mom said they could only pick one. Tim wanted a car, and Lily wanted a doll. They looked and looked, but they could not agree. + +Then they saw a big balloon. It was red and shiny, and it had a string. They both wanted the balloon. They ran to it and pulled on the string. But they pulled too hard, and the balloon popped. It made a loud noise, and everyone looked at them. + +Mom was angry. She said, "You are very naughty. You broke the balloon. Now you have to say sorry and pay for it. And you get nothing else." Tim and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to the store man, and gave him some money. Mom took them by the hand and walked out of the store. + +Tim and Lily cried. They had no car, no doll, and no balloon. They wished they had been nice and shared. They learned a hard lesson. They were very sorry. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog was barking and growling. Anna and Ben were scared. + +"Let's go away!" Ben said. "The dog is scary!" + +But Anna was brave. She wanted to pet the dog. She walked slowly to the dog and said, "Hello, doggy. You are nice. Can I touch you?" + +The dog stopped barking and growling. He sniffed Anna's hand and licked it. He wagged his tail and rubbed his head on Anna's leg. Anna smiled and stroked the dog's fur. + +"See, Ben? The dog is not scary. He is friendly. He likes me." Anna said. + +Ben was still scared. He stayed behind a tree and watched. He had a question. + +"Anna, why did the dog kiss your hand?" Ben asked. + +Anna laughed. She knew the answer. + +"Because he loves me, silly. And I love him too." Anna said. She gave the dog a big hug and a kiss on his nose. The dog barked happily. + +Ben came out of the tree. He was not scared anymore. He wanted to pet the dog too. He walked slowly to the dog and said, "Hello, doggy. You are nice. Can I touch you?" + +The dog sniffed Ben's hand and licked it. He wagged his tail and rubbed his head on Ben's leg. Ben smiled and stroked the dog's fur. + +"See, Anna? The dog is not scary. He is friendly. He likes me too." Ben said. + +Anna nodded. She was happy. + +"Let's play with the dog. He is our new friend." Anna said. + +The dog barked happily. He was happy too. + +Anna, Ben and the dog played in the park. They swung, slid and ran. They had fun. They were not scared. They were happy. +Lily and Ben like to sort their toys. They have a big box with many toys of different colors and shapes. They take out the toys and put them in smaller boxes. One box for red toys, one box for blue toys, one box for round toys, and one box for square toys. + +"Look, I have a red ball and a red car," Lily says. "They go in the red box." + +"I have a blue train and a blue hat," Ben says. "They go in the blue box." + +They sort and sort until the big box is empty. Then they look at their smaller boxes and smile. + +"Let's play with our toys now," Lily says. + +"OK, but can we swap some toys?" Ben asks. "I want to try your red car and you can try my blue train." + +"Sure, that sounds interesting," Lily says. "But we have to be careful not to mix up our boxes." + +They agree and take turns playing with each other's toys. They have fun and learn new things. They also remember to put the toys back in the right boxes when they are done. They are good at sorting and sharing. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Mia says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They lift the lid and see many shiny things. They are sparkles. They are pretty and colorful. Mia and Ben smile. + +"Wow! Look at all the sparkles!" Mia says. + +"They are so nice! Can we take some?" Ben says. + +"Sure! Let's make something with them!" Mia says. + +They take some sparkles and start to make a necklace and a bracelet. They use a string and a needle. They are careful not to poke themselves. They have fun. + +"Look! I made a necklace for you!" Mia says. + +"Thank you! It is beautiful! I made a bracelet for you!" Ben says. + +"Thank you! It is lovely! They fit us well!" Mia says. + +They put on their necklace and bracelet. They look at each other and giggle. + +"You are my best friend!" Mia says. + +"You are my best friend too!" Ben says. + +They hug and kiss. They are happy. +Mia and Ben were very happy. They were going to Grandma's house for a week. They had their bags with clothes and toys. They liked Grandma's house. It had a big garden with flowers and birds. + +When they got to Grandma's house, Grandma hugged them and said, "Welcome, my sweeties! I'm so glad you're here. Come inside and unpack your bags. Then we can have a snack." + +Mia and Ben followed Grandma inside. They went to their room and unpacked their bags. They put their clothes in the closet and their toys on the bed. They saw that Grandma had left a basket of blueberries on the table. They loved blueberries. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Can we have some blueberries, Grandma?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, my dear. You can have as many as you like. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy. They are powerful fruits." Grandma said. + +Mia and Ben smiled. They washed their hands and took some blueberries. They ate them with delight. They thanked Grandma for the snack. + +"Can we go to the garden, Grandma?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, my darling. You can go and play in the garden. But be careful and don't go too far. I'll be in the kitchen making dinner." Grandma said. + +Mia and Ben nodded. They ran to the garden. They saw the flowers and the birds. They played with a ball and a kite. They had fun. They were happy. They loved Grandma's house. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up their toys when they are done. Their mom always tells them to put their toys in the space under their bed. But they do not listen. + +One day, mom says, "Sara and Tom, you have too many toys. You need to quit playing and clean up your room. Or I will give some of your toys away." + +Sara and Tom do not want to lose their toys. They say, "No, mom, please do not give our toys away. We will clean up our room. We promise." + +But they do not keep their promise. They keep playing and making a mess. They hide some of their toys under the pillows and blankets. They think mom will not see them. + +Mom comes back to check on them. She sees the mess. She is very angry. She says, "Sara and Tom, you did not clean up your room. You lied to me. You are very naughty. Now I will take some of your toys and give them to other kids who need them." + +Sara and Tom cry. They beg mom to let them keep their toys. But mom does not listen. She takes a big bag and fills it with some of their toys. She says, "Maybe this will teach you to be more clean and honest. Goodbye, toys." + +She leaves the room with the bag. Sara and Tom are very sad. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, toys. We will never quit cleaning again." But it is too late. Their toys are gone. And they have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bell on a tower. The bell makes a loud sound every hour. + +"Let's watch the bell," Lily says. "Maybe it will ring soon." + +"OK," Ben says. They run to the tower and sit on a bench. They wait and wait. But the bell does not ring. + +"Maybe it is broken," Ben says. He is bored. He wants to play something else. + +"No, it is not broken," Lily says. She is curious. She wants to see the bell up close. "Let's climb the tower and look at the bell." + +"But that is not safe," Ben says. He is scared. He does not want to climb the tower. "We might fall or get in trouble." + +"Come on, it will be fun," Lily says. She is brave. She does not listen to Ben. She gets up and starts to climb the tower. + +Ben does not follow her. He stays on the bench. He watches Lily climb the tower. He hopes she will be OK. + +Lily reaches the top of the tower. She sees the bell. It is big and shiny. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand. But she does not see the water on the roof. She slips and falls. She screams. + +Ben hears her scream. He is worried. He runs to the tower. He sees Lily on the ground. She is wet and hurt. He calls for help. + +Soon, a man comes. He is the bell keeper. He sees Lily and Ben. He is angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he asks. "You are not supposed to climb the tower. It is dangerous. You could have been killed." + +"I'm sorry," Lily says. She is sad and sorry. She knows she made a mistake. "I just wanted to see the bell." + +"Well, you saw it. And you learned a lesson. The bell is not a toy. It is a clock. It tells the time. It rings every hour. But not today. Because you broke it. You hit it with your hand. And you made it stop. Now, no one will know the time." + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They did not know they broke the bell. They feel bad. + +"I'm sorry," Ben says. He is sorry too. He knows he should have stopped Lily. "We did not mean to break the bell." + +The bell keeper sighs. He is not so angry anymore. He sees that Lily and Ben are sorry. He decides to forgive them. + +"It's OK," he says. "I can fix the bell. But you have to promise me something. Never climb the tower again. And always listen to your friend. He tried to warn you. He was right. It was not safe. He was a good friend. You should be a good friend too." + +Lily and Ben nod. They promise to never climb the tower again. And to always listen to their friend. They thank the bell keeper. They hug each other. They are still friends. They learned a lesson. They go home. They are wet and hurt. But they are happy. They watch the bell. They hope it will ring soon. +Lily and Sam liked to play near the train tracks. They liked to watch the big trains go by and wave to the people inside. Sometimes the people waved back and smiled. Lily and Sam felt happy. + +One day, a new train came. It was very long and very loud. It made a lot of smoke and noise. Lily and Sam did not like it. They covered their ears and ran away. They did not wave to the people inside. + +"Why are you scared?" asked a voice. It was Ben, their friend. He was sitting on a rock near the tracks. He did not cover his ears or run away. He looked calm and curious. + +"Ben, how can you stand the noise?" asked Lily. "It hurts our ears. It is too loud." + +Ben shook his head. He pointed to his ears and said, "I can't hear the noise. I am deaf. I can only see the trains. I like them. They are big and fast and colorful. I wave to the people inside. Maybe they are deaf too." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry for Ben. They did not know he was deaf. They wondered how he could play and learn and have fun without hearing. They wanted to be his friends. + +"Can we play with you?" asked Sam. "We can show you our toys and games. We can teach you some words. We can have fun together." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He got off the rock and joined Lily and Sam. They walked away from the train tracks and went to the park. They played with their toys and games. They taught Ben some words. They had fun together. + +They learned that being deaf did not mean being alone. They learned that being different did not mean being bad. They learned that being friends meant being kind. They waved to each other and hugged. They felt happy. +Tom and Anna like to play pretend. They have many costumes and toys. Today, they want to perform a show for their mom and dad. They choose to be police and catch bad guys. + +Tom puts on a blue shirt and a hat. He holds a walkie-talkie and a flashlight. Anna wears a yellow dress and a badge. She has a whistle and a handcuff. They make a stage with a curtain and some chairs. They are ready to start. + +"Hello, everyone. Welcome to our show. We are the police. We help people and stop crime.

They give them hugs and kisses. + +"Thank you for watching our show. We hope you liked it. We had fun being police. Maybe one day we will be real police," Tom says. + +The end. +Tom and Lily are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make different shapes. Tom folds a paper into a triangle. Lily folds a paper into a square. + +"Look, I made a triangle!" Tom says. + +"Wow, that's incredible!" Lily says. "How did you do that?" + +"I just folded the paper like this and this." Tom shows Lily how he folded the paper. + +"Can I try?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, here is another paper." Tom gives Lily a paper. + +Lily tries to fold the paper like Tom, but she makes a mistake. She folds the paper too many times and it becomes a mess. + +"Oh no, I can't make a triangle!" Lily says. "My paper is all wrinkled and has many lines!" + +"Don't worry, Lily. You can still make something else." Tom says. + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +"Like a fan!" Tom says. "You can use the lines to make a fan. Look, I'll show you." + +Tom takes Lily's paper and folds it back and forth along the lines. He makes a fan that can open and close. + +"See, now you have a fan!" Tom says. + +"Wow, that's incredible!" Lily says. "Thank you, Tom. You are very smart and kind." + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are very creative and fun."

He waits until Anna is not looking and takes the doll. He runs away with it. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Anna cries. She runs after Tom. Ben follows her. They catch up with Tom and try to get the doll back. + +"Give it back, Tom! You can't steal!" Ben says. + +"No, it's mine now! I wish I had a doll like this!" Tom says. He holds the doll tight. + +Anna is sad and angry. She wants her doll back. She pulls the doll from Tom. Tom pulls back. They tug and tug. The doll's hair comes off. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. She looks at her doll. Her doll has no hair. She starts to cry. + +Tom feels bad. He sees Anna crying. He remembers how he felt when his toy broke. He says he is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken your doll. Here, you can have it back." He gives the doll to Anna. + +Anna stops crying. She takes the doll. She says thank you. + +"Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. Do you want to play with us?" She asks. + +Tom nods. He says yes. + +"Yes, I want to play with you. Can I play with your car, Ben?" He asks. + +Ben smiles. He says yes. + +"Yes, you can play with my car. It makes noise. Listen!" He presses a button. The car makes noise. + +They all laugh. They play with the toys. They share and have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Tom had a fake cape and a mask, and Lily had a fake wand and a hat. They ran around and made noises, having fun. + +"Stop, evil Tom!" Lily shouted, pointing her wand at him. "You can't take my magic hat!" + +"Ha ha, I am too fast for you, good Lily!" Tom said, grabbing her hat and running away. "I will vanish with your hat and you will never find me!" + +Lily chased after him, but he was too quick. He ran behind a big tree and hid. Lily looked around, but she could not see him. She was sad and angry. She wanted her hat back. + +"Tom, where are you?" she called. "Give me back my hat! It's not fair!" + +But Tom did not answer. He was not behind the tree anymore. He had seen a hole in the fence and crawled through it. He wanted to explore the other side. He thought it would be fun. He did not think about Lily or her hat. + +Lily waited and waited, but Tom did not come back. She started to cry. She was scared and lonely. She wanted Tom to play with her. She wanted her hat back. She did not know where he had gone. + +She ran to the house and told her mom what had happened. Her mom was worried and angry. She called Tom's mom and asked where he was. Tom's mom did not know. She had not seen him. She thought he was in the garden with Lily. + +They looked for Tom everywhere, but they could not find him. He had vanished. He had gone to a bad place, where there were mean people and scary things. He was in danger. He was sorry. He wished he had not taken Lily's hat. He wished he had stayed with her. He wished he had not played with fake things. He wished he had played with real things. He wished he had played with Lily. +Once upon a time, there was a big boat called a yacht.

The other girl started crying and Lily felt very bad. She knew she needed to say sorry and ask for forgiveness. + +So, she went up to the other girl and said, "I'm sorry I made you fall down. Will you forgive me?" The other girl stopped crying and said, "Yes, I forgive you." Lily felt very relieved and happy that everything was well again. + +From that day on, Lily always made sure to be careful when playing with others. She didn't want anyone to get hurt again.
