For hours, she just watched and eventually found a way for the fairy to escape. But as soon as the fairy left, the garden suddenly became filled with danger. + +Ruby was scared and wanted to get out but she couldn't. Suddenly the grounds began to shake and the ground beneath her feet crumbled away. Everything went dark and the last thing Ruby heard was the sound of the fairy saying goodbye. + +The next day, Ruby's parents went to the garden to look for their daughter but all they found was a pile of rocks.

She looked up and saw a bright yellow bird. The bird said to her, "Come, let's go and find your dream." + +The little girl was excited and she followed the bird.

Can we watch television afterwards?" + +Sarah cleverly replied, "Yes, but let's separate the time we have into two parts. First, let's do some playtime. Then in the second part, we can watch the television." + +So Sarah and Tim had a lovely time playing together. When playtime was finished, they switched on the television. They both decided that juggling with TV controllers was fun. + +But Tim was clumsy, and he dropped the controller on the ground. When it landed, it broke! + +Sarah said, "That's why we should have separated our time into two parts. If we had only watched the television we would not have had so much fun, and the controller wouldn't have broken." + +The moral of the story is that it's important to separate our time between playing and watching television. This will help us have more fun and it keeps us from getting into trouble. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Anna. She was only three years old but she was very clever.

He was nosy and he wanted to know everything about it. He asked questions such as "How do I win it?" and "What will I get?". + +His mom laughed and said "The only way to win is to not peek and be very patient.

However, when she showed them the box, everyone was disappointed. They said that she should always be careful when playing in places where things are hidden. + +Martha learned an important lesson that day.

Anna loved playing outside, and one day she found a big ship in the woods. She was so excited that she ran over and explored it.

She started to look around the house but no matter how hard she looked, it was nowhere to be seen. + +Suddenly, Sam heard a voice. It was her friend, Dan. + +"Ignorant Sam," said Dan, "I told you to put the stamp on the present before you wrapped it. Now it's too late. You'll never be able to put it on now." + +Sam was angry. She wanted to scream at Dan for being so ignorant, but then a thought crossed her mind. Dan might have been right. He did know something that Sam didn't. + +Sam ran to get a pair of scissors.

In the end, Jenny had to go to the doctor and get her finger bandaged up. + +Although Jenny was very brave, she vowed never to open another oyster again. +One day, Jane went to the river with her best friend Bob. They wanted to bathe in the cool, clear water. Jane found a long pole that she wanted to use for fun. Bob said it was a normal thing to do. + +So Jane and Bob took turns playing with the pole. Every time one of them jumped in the river, the other threw the pole in the water. They had a lot of fun. + +But then something unexpected happened. As Jane grabbed the pole for a last time, the pole got caught in some seaweed underwater. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. Jane got really scared. + +She asked Bob to help her, but Bob could not do it alone. Bob ran to get a grown up to help them. But it was too late. The more Jane pulled the pole, the deeper it got into the seaweed. In the end, they had to leave the pole there. + +It was a sad ending to a fun day. Jane and Bob learned that they should be more careful with things they don't understand. They promised never to play with the pole again. +Once upon a time, there was a man who went shopping at the store. He was looking for something special to put on his dinner. He saw a big jar of sauce that looked yummy. He thought it would be the perfect sauce. He grabbed the jar and brought it home. + +When he got home, he opened the jar to find that the sauce was dry.

He was scared and ran inside to see what was happening. + +Inside he found his mum in the kitchen. She was looking at the alarm with crossed arms. When she heard him come in, she said “Oh, Max! I didn’t know you were out there. The alarm went off and it scared me!†Max asked her “What’s wrong? Why did it go off?â€. His mother smiled and said “It’s just a false alarm, don’t worry. Come on now, let’s go back outside and watch the stars, they glow so brightly tonight.†+ +Max and his mum went back outside, and they watched the stars glimmer and glow. They stayed out until the sky was so dark it was hard to see. After a while, they said goodbye to the stars and went back to the safety of their house.

But then he started to insist that they go somewhere else instead. He said it was quicker and he wanted to save them some time. + +Charlie's family hesitated but then agreed and the taxi driver took them away. He took them to a hidden alley and stopped. Then he demanded more money. He said he was not taking them anywhere until they paid him more. + +Charlie's family refused, but the driver wouldn't listen and he continued to insist they pay him more.

They thought the old, ancient man should not be allowed to take his naps there, so they decided to tell him to leave. + +The old man had heard their words but was not afraid. He knew the villagers did not have to power to make him leave. He continued to take his naps there everyday. + +The villagers became more and more angry but still couldn't move the ancient man.

He stayed and enjoyed his naps for many years until he passed away peacefully at the ripe old age of 98. +Once upon a time there were two nations.

But Jane kept insisting, so her mom finally said, "No, Jane, we don't need a bird." + +The store clerk looked at Jane and said, "Jane, let me tell you something.

Can we wash it and eat it?" + +Grandma does not answer. She does not see them. She is reading a book. + +Lily and Ben go to the sink. They turn on the water. They wash the strawberry. They dry it with a towel. + +They go back to the table. They see grandma looking at them. She smiles. She points to her ears. She shakes her head. + +"Sorry, grandma, we forgot you are deaf," Ben says. "We said we found a strawberry in the garden. We washed it and we want to share it with you." + +Grandma nods. She points to her mouth. She makes a yum sound. + +Lily and Ben cut the strawberry in half. They give one half to grandma. They eat the other half. + +They all enjoy the sweet and juicy strawberry.

He saw many things: paper, cans, bottles, food and more. He thought it was a treasure. He wanted to explore. + +He climbed into the bin and started to dig. He found a shiny can and a soft toy.

She liked to pretend that he was flying in the sky and helping Santa. But Rudy was shy and did not like to talk to other toys. + +One day, Anna decided to have a tea party with her dolls and stuffed animals. She set up a table and chairs in her room and put some cups and plates on it. She filled a teapot with water and pretended it was tea. She invited all her toys to join her, but Rudy did not want to go. + +"Come on, Rudy, it will be fun!" Anna said. "You can sit next to me and have some tea and cookies." + +Rudy shook his head and hid under the bed. He was afraid of the other toys. He thought they would laugh at his red nose or ask him too many questions. + +"Please, Rudy, don't be shy. They are all nice and friendly. They want to be your friends." Anna said. She reached under the bed and pulled Rudy out. She hugged him and kissed his nose. + +Rudy felt a little better, but he was still nervous. He followed Anna to the table and sat on a chair. Anna poured some tea for him and gave him a cookie. She smiled and said, "This is Rudy, my special reindeer. He can fly and help Santa. He is very brave and kind." + +The other toys looked at Rudy and smiled too. They said, "Hello, Rudy. We are happy to meet you. You have a beautiful nose. Can you tell us more about flying and Santa?" + +Rudy felt a warm feeling in his heart. He realized that the other toys were not mean or scary. They were curious and friendly. He decided to give them a chance. He opened his mouth and said, "Hello, everyone. Thank you for inviting me. I would love to tell you more about flying and Santa." + +Anna clapped her hands and said, "Yay, Rudy! I'm so proud of you. You are not shy anymore. You are a great reindeer and a great friend." + +Rudy smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a great friend too. And so are all of you. This is the best tea party ever." +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and books at home. One day, her mom said they had to go to the doctor. Anna did not want to go. She was scared of the doctor. + +"Come on, Anna, it's time to go," her mom said. "The doctor is nice. He will check your chest and ears and give you a sticker." + +Anna shook her head. She hid behind her mom's legs. She did not want to leave her dolls and books. + +"Please, Anna, don't be shy. The doctor is here to help you. He won't hurt you," her mom said. She picked up Anna and carried her to the car. + +Anna cried. She did not like the car. She did not like the doctor. She wanted to go back home. + +When they got to the doctor's office, Anna saw many other kids. Some were playing with toys. Some were reading magazines. Some were coughing and sneezing. Anna did not like the other kids. She clung to her mom's chest. + +"Hello, Anna, I'm Dr. Lee," the doctor said. He smiled and waved at Anna. He had a white coat and a stethoscope. "Can I listen to your chest and ears?" + +Anna screamed. She did not want the doctor to touch her. She did not want the stethoscope on her chest and ears. She wanted her mom to hold her. + +"Shh, Anna, it's okay. Dr. Lee is a friend. He just wants to make sure you are healthy," her mom said. She hugged Anna and stroked her hair. "It will be over soon. Then you can have a sticker and a lollipop." + +Anna stopped screaming. She looked at her mom. She saw her mom's eyes and smile. She felt her mom's arms and chest. She trusted her mom. She nodded. + +Dr. Lee listened to Anna's chest and ears. He said she was fine. He gave her a sticker and a lollipop. He said she was brave. + +Anna smiled. She liked the sticker and the lollipop. She said thank you to Dr. Lee. She was not shy anymore. She was happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One night, they saw the moon in the sky. It was big and bright and round. + +"Let's kick the moon!" Tom said. He ran and jumped and kicked his foot in the air. + +Lily laughed. "You can't kick the moon, silly. It's too far away." + +"Yes, I can. Watch me!" Tom said. He ran and jumped and kicked again. But he missed the moon and fell on the ground. + +Lily ran to help him. "Are you okay, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom rubbed his knee. It hurt. He felt sad and angry. "No, I'm not okay. You made fun of me. You're a mean friend." + +Lily felt sorry. She didn't mean to hurt his feelings. She wanted to make him happy. "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to make fun of you. You're a good friend. You're brave and strong and humble." + +Tom looked at her. He saw her smile and her kind eyes. He felt better. He smiled back. "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was silly. You're a good friend. You're smart and funny and humble." + +They hugged and made up. They looked at the moon again. It was still big and bright and round. + +"Let's not kick the moon," Lily said. "Let's just look at it and wonder." + +"Okay," Tom said. "Let's do that." + +They sat on the grass and looked at the moon and wondered. They were happy and humble and friends. +Tim liked to eat waffles for breakfast. He liked them with butter and honey. He did not like them cold or dry. He liked them hot and soft. + +One morning, Tim woke up early. He was very hungry. He went to the kitchen. He saw a big plate of waffles on the table. He was happy. He took a waffle and put it on his plate. He got some butter and honey from the fridge. He was ready to eat. + +But then he saw something else on the table. It was a big bowl of water. It had a sign on it. The sign said: "Do not touch. This is for Mom's plants." Tim was curious. He wondered what would happen if he put his waffle in the water. He thought it might be fun. + +He looked around. He did not see Mom or Dad. He did not hear them in their room. He thought they were still sleeping. He decided to try it. He picked up his waffle and dipped it in the water. He watched it soak. He saw the water turn brown and sticky. He saw the waffle get soggy and fall apart. He thought it was funny. + +He did not know that Mom and Dad were watching him from the door. They were not happy. They were angry. They had made the waffles for the whole family. They had worked hard to make them hot and soft. They had not expected Tim to ruin them. They had not expected Tim to make a mess. + +They came into the kitchen. They saw Tim with his wet waffle. They saw the water with the bits of waffle. They saw the sign with the words. They said: "Tim, what did you do? Why did you do that? Don't you know that water is not for waffles? Don't you know that waffles are for eating, not for soaking?" + +Tim looked at them. He saw their faces. He knew he was in trouble. He felt sorry. He said: "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Dad. I just wanted to try it. I just wanted to have fun. I didn't know it would be bad. I didn't know you would be mad." + +Mom and Dad sighed. They said: "Tim, we love you, but you have to learn. You have to listen. You have to follow the rules. You have to respect the things we make for you. You have to eat your waffles the regular way, not the water way." + +They took away his wet waffle. They gave him a dry one. They told him to eat it. They told him to clean up the water. They told him to say sorry to the plants. They told him to not do it again. + +Tim did what they said. He ate his dry waffle. He cleaned up the water. He said sorry to the plants. He said he would not do it again. He hoped they would forgive him. He hoped they would still love him. He hoped they would still make him waffles. He hoped they would make them hot and soft. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But there was a problem. The slide was broken and had a big hole in the middle. A rope was hanging from the hole. + +"Look, a rope!" Ben said. "We can swing on it and go to the other side of the slide." + +"That sounds fun!" Lily said. "But be careful, Ben. The rope might be weak." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He was careless. He ran to the rope and grabbed it. He swung on it and tried to reach the other side of the slide. But the rope snapped and Ben fell down. He landed on the grass and hurt his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "My knee hurts!" + +Lily ran to Ben and saw his knee. It was bleeding. She felt sorry for Ben. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I will save you," Lily said. "I will get help." + +Lily left Ben and ran to the park keeper. She told him what happened and asked him to help Ben. The park keeper followed Lily and saw Ben. He had a first aid kit and cleaned and bandaged Ben's knee. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, Ben. But next time, be more careful," Lily said. + +The park keeper smiled and said, "You are both brave and kind. But please, stay away from the broken slide. It is dangerous." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, sir." + +They hugged each other and went to play somewhere else. They learned their lesson and had fun. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big green cloth on the grass. It looked like a tent. + +"Let's go inside!" Tom said. He ran to the cloth and lifted a corner. + +"Wait for me!" Sue said. She followed Tom and crawled under the cloth. + +They saw a lot of boxes and bags under the cloth. They were curious. They opened some of the boxes and bags. They found toys and books and candy. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Tom said. He picked up a toy car and a book. + +"Maybe someone left them for us!" Sue said. She grabbed a candy and a doll. + +They were happy. They played with the things and ate the candy. They did not hear the footsteps outside. + +A man came to the cloth. He was angry. He saw the children under his cloth. He saw his things in their hands. He shouted. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? These are my things! Get out of here, you little thieves!" + +He grabbed the cloth and pulled it. He closed the cloth around the children. He tied it with a rope. He lifted the cloth and threw it in his truck. + +He drove away with the children inside. They were scared. They cried and screamed. They could not get out. + +They never saw their parents again. +Mia and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. But sometimes they had fights. Mia wanted to play with the pink doll, but Ben wanted it too. Ben wanted to play with the blue car, but Mia wanted it too. They both said "mine, mine, mine" and pulled the toys. + +"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" their mom said. "You have to share and be nice. You have to accept that you can't have everything you want. You have to listen to each other's voice and take turns." + +But Mia and Ben were stubborn. They did not want to share. They did not want to listen. They did not want to accept. They kept fighting and crying and making noise. + +Their mom was sad and angry. She took away the toys and put them in a box. She said "No more toys for you until you learn to get along. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Mia and Ben went to their rooms. They felt lonely and bored. They missed their toys and their friend. They realized they were wrong. They wanted to say sorry and play nicely. + +They went to their mom and hugged her. They said "We are sorry, mom. We were stubborn and mean. We want to share and be nice. We want to accept and listen. We want to play with our toys and our friend." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them back. She said "I'm glad you learned your lesson. You can have your toys back, but you have to promise to be kind and respectful. You have to value each other's voice and feelings. You have to accept that you are different and that's okay." + +Mia and Ben nodded and promised. They took their toys and went to play. They gave each other turns and compliments. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and grateful. They were best friends. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. But today, the park is boring. There are no swings, no slides, no seesaws. Only a big pond with some geese. + +Tom and Sam go to the pond. They want to feed the geese. They have some bread in their pockets. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the water. + +But one goose is greedy. He wants all the bread for himself. He chases the other geese away. He snaps at Tom and Sam. He makes loud noises. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run away from the goose. They drop their bread. The goose is happy. He eats all the bread. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They have no more bread. They have no more fun. They go home. They tell their mom what happened. + +Mom is sorry. She hugs them. She says, "Don't worry. I will provide you with more bread tomorrow. And we will find a better park to play in. A park with swings, slides, seesaws, and nice geese." +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall stacks of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they made houses, sometimes they made towers, sometimes they made animals. + +"Look, I made a fancy hat!" Lila said, putting a round block on top of a square one. "Do you like it?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He wanted to make a fancy hat too. He looked for a round block, but he could not find one. He saw a small bowl on the table. It was dry and shiny. He thought it would make a good hat. + +He reached for the bowl, but he did not see that it was full of popcorn. When he lifted the bowl, the popcorn spilled all over the floor. Lila and Ben gasped. + +"Oh no!" Lila said. "We made a mess!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the popcorn and the blocks and the bowl. She was not happy. + +"Ben, Lila, what happened here?" she asked. + +Ben felt sorry. He pointed to the bowl and said, "I wanted a fancy hat." + +Mom sighed. She picked up the bowl and the popcorn. She said, "This is not a hat, this is a snack. And this is not a place to play with blocks, this is a table. You need to clean up your mess and put your blocks in a stack." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They said, "We're sorry, Mom." + +They helped Mom clean up the popcorn and the table. Then they put their blocks in a stack in the corner. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with blocks on the floor, not on the table. And they decided to use only blocks, not bowls, to make fancy hats. +Tom and Lily like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with two wheels and pedals. They wear helmets and gloves to be safe. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. Tom says, "Let's go up the hill and down again. It will be fun and fast." Lily says, "OK, but be careful. The hill is steep and bumpy." + +They pedal hard and raise their legs to go up the hill. They feel the wind in their faces and the sun on their backs. They reach the top and see the park below. They smile and shout, "We did it!" + +Then they go down the hill. They go very fast and feel wild. They hold their bikes tight and steer around the rocks and trees. They laugh and scream, "Whee!" + +They get to the bottom and stop. They are happy and proud. They high-five each other and say, "That was awesome! Let's do it again!" +Mia and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They were adventurous and curious. They liked to skip, swing, slide and climb. + +One day, they saw a big pile of waste near the fence. It was dirty and smelly. They wondered what was inside. They decided to skip over to the waste and look for treasures. + +They found some cans, bottles, papers and clothes. They thought they were fun and shiny. They started to make a fort with the waste. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not touch!" + +A man saw them and shouted. He was angry and scared. He told them to get away from the waste. He said it was bad and could hurt them. He said they were naughty and careless. + +Mia and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not know the waste was dangerous. They wanted to have fun, not cause trouble. They said sorry to the man and ran back to their parents. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are not safe to play with. They learned that they should listen to signs and adults. They learned that being adventurous is good, but being smart is better. +Jill had a pretty goat. She liked to feed her goat grass and flowers. She named her goat Lily. Lily was white and soft. Jill and Lily were friends. + +One day, a bad man came to Jill's farm. He saw Lily and wanted to take her. He had a big sack. He waited for Jill to go inside the house. Then he ran to Lily and put her in the sack. He tried to run away with the sack. + +But Lily was not a quiet goat. She kicked and bleated in the sack. Jill heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw the bad man with the sack. She knew Lily was in the sack. She shouted, "Stop! That is my goat! Give her back!" + +The bad man was scared. He dropped the sack and ran away. Jill opened the sack and hugged Lily. Lily was happy to see Jill. Jill was happy to see Lily. They went back to the house. Jill gave Lily some extra grass and flowers. She said, "You are a brave goat, Lily. I love you." Lily said, "Baa." They were friends. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play on the farm. They loved to see the animals and feed them grass and hay. One day, they saw a new animal in the barn. It was a goat with a long beard and horns. + +"Hello, goat!" Tom said. "What is your name?" + +The goat did not answer. He just looked at Tom and Lily with his strange eyes. + +"Can we pet you?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to touch the goat's fur. + +The goat did not like that. He shook his head and made a loud noise. "Baa! Baa!" He ran out of the barn and into the field. + +"Come back, goat!" Tom and Lily shouted. They ran after the goat, but he was too fast. He jumped over the fence and ran up the hill. + +Tom and Lily climbed over the fence and followed the goat. They wanted to be friends with him. But the goat did not want to play. He ran around the hill and made more noise. "Baa! Baa!" + +Tom and Lily got tired and dizzy. They could not catch the goat. They sat down on the grass and watched the goat run. They felt sad. + +"Why does the goat not like us?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe he is scared of us. Or maybe he is lonely. Or maybe he just likes to run." + +They looked at the goat and saw that he was running faster and faster. He was having fun. He did not care about Tom and Lily. + +"Maybe we should leave him alone," Tom said. + +"Maybe we should," Lily agreed. + +They got up and walked back to the barn. They said goodbye to the goat. + +"Bye, goat!" Tom said. "Maybe we can play another day." + +"Bye, goat!" Lily said. "Maybe you can be nicer next time." + +The goat did not hear them. He just kept running and running. He did not want to stop. He liked to increase his speed. He was a happy goat. +Anna liked to help her mom cook. She liked to stir and pour and taste. But she did not like onions. Onions made her eyes water and her nose sting. She did not like how they smelled or how they looked. + +One day, mom asked Anna to help her make soup. Anna was happy. She got a big pot and a spoon. Mom gave her carrots and potatoes and celery to chop. Anna liked to chop. She made small pieces with her knife. She was careful not to cut herself. + +Then mom gave her an onion. Anna frowned. She did not want to chop the onion. She wanted to give it back. But mom said, "Please, Anna, we need the onion for the soup. It will make it yummy. Just peel it and cut it in half. I will do the rest." + +Anna did not want to make mom sad. She took the onion and peeled it. She saw the pale layers inside. She cut it in half. As soon as she did, her eyes began to water and her nose began to sting. She dropped the knife and the onion. She ran to the sink and filled a cup with water. She splashed her face and drank some water. She felt better. + +Mom came to the sink and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Onions are tricky. They make us cry sometimes. But they also make the soup tasty. Thank you for helping me. You are a good helper. How about you stir the soup while I chop the onion?" + +Anna nodded. She wiped her eyes and nose. She went back to the pot and stirred the soup. She smelled the carrots and potatoes and celery. She smelled the onion too. But it did not make her cry anymore. It made her hungry. She smiled and said, "Mom, I think the soup is ready. Can we eat it now?" +Lila and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were hunters, looking for animals. They had sticks for spears and leaves for hats. + +"Look, Ben, a rabbit!" Lila whispered, pointing to a brown ball of fur. "Let's catch it!" + +"OK, but be careful. We have to mind the big hunter. He is mean and scary. He has a loud gun and a big dog. He does not like us here." Ben said, looking around. + +They crept closer to the rabbit, holding their sticks. The rabbit did not see them. It was eating grass. Lila and Ben were almost there. + +But then, they heard a loud bang. And a bark. And a scream. The big hunter had seen them. He had shot his gun. He had hit Lila. She fell down. She did not move. Ben was scared. He dropped his stick. He ran to Lila. He cried. + +The big hunter came over. He had a mean face. He had a big dog. The dog growled at Ben. The big hunter grabbed Ben by the arm. He said, "What are you doing here, you little pests? You scared away my rabbit. You are in big trouble. Come with me." + +Ben did not want to go. He wanted to stay with Lila. He wanted to help her. He wanted to go home. But he could not. The big hunter was too strong. He dragged Ben away. Ben cried more. He was sorry. He wished they had been more careful. He wished they had minded the big hunter. He wished they had not played in the woods. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to share. They always wanted the same toy and fought over it. They made a lot of noise and a big mess. + +One day, their mom had enough. She told them to stop fighting and to clean up their toys. But Sara and Ben did not listen. They kept pulling and pushing and yelling. They were spoiled and rude. + +Mom got very angry. She took away all their toys and put them in a box. She said, "You can't play with your toys until you learn to share and be nice. Now go to your room and stay there. And shut the door!" + +Sara and Ben were shocked and sad. They did not want to lose their toys. They did not want to go to their room. They did not want to shut the door. They wanted to say sorry and hug mom. But mom was too mad to listen. + +They went to their room and sat on their beds. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been bad and mean. They wished they had not fought over their toys. They wished they had shared and been nice. + +They decided to say sorry to each other and to mom. They hugged and said, "I love you, twin." They knocked on the door and called, "Mom, can we talk to you? We are sorry. We want to share and be nice." + +Mom heard them and opened the door. She saw their sorry faces and their hugs. She felt happy and proud. She said, "I love you, twins. I'm glad you are sorry. You can have your toys back if you promise to share and be nice. And you don't have to shut the door. You can play in the living room with me." + +Sara and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We promise to share and be nice. We don't want to shut the door. We want to play with you." + +They ran to the box and took out their toys. They played together and with mom. They shared and were nice. They did not make a lot of noise and a big mess. They did not have a row. They had fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to make a fort under the tree. + +"Let's cut some branches and use them for the walls," Ben said. He had a pair of scissors in his backpack. + +"OK, but be careful," Lila said. She helped him find some small branches that they could cut. + +They cut and cut until they had enough branches. They put them around the tree trunk and made a cozy fort. They were very happy. + +But then they heard a weird noise. It sounded like someone was crying. They looked around and saw a squirrel on a high branch. The squirrel was holding a nut and looking very sad. + +"What's wrong, squirrel?" Lila asked. + +"You cut my home!" the squirrel said. "You cut the branches where I had my nest and my nuts. Now I have nowhere to go!" + +Lila and Ben felt very sorry. They did not know they had cut the squirrel's home. They wanted to help. + +"We are sorry, squirrel," Ben said. "We did not mean to cut your home. We just wanted to make a fort. Can we share it with you?" + +The squirrel thought for a moment. He was still sad, but he saw that Lila and Ben were nice. He nodded and came down from the branch. + +"Thank you, kids," the squirrel said. "You can share my home if I can share your fort. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lila and Ben smiled and welcomed the squirrel into their fort. They gave him some of their snacks and played with him. They learned his name was Nibbles and he liked to tell jokes. They had a lot of fun. + +They learned that sometimes cutting can hurt, but sharing can heal. They also learned that weird noises can lead to new friends. They were very happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and find new places. One day, she wandered too far from her home. She saw a big house with many windows and doors. She wanted to see what was inside. + +She walked up to the door and saw a shiny handle. She reached for it and turned it. The door opened and she went in. She saw a big hall with many pictures and rugs. She wanted to see more. She wandered from room to room, looking at the things inside. + +But soon, she felt confused. She did not know where she was. She did not see anyone. She did not hear any sounds. She wanted to go back to her home. She wanted to see her mom and dad. She wanted to hug her teddy bear. She tried to find the door she came in, but she could not. She wandered and wandered, but she only saw more rooms and more things. + +She started to cry. She was scared and lonely. She wished she did not wander so far. She wished she stayed with her home. She did not know what to do. She sat on the floor and hugged her knees. She hoped someone would find her and help her. She hoped she would see her home again. +Lily and Max were twins who loved candy. They had a big bag of candy that they got from their grandma. They wanted to eat some candy before bed, but their mom said no. She said candy was bad for their teeth and they had to brush them. + +But Lily and Max were sneaky. They waited until their mom was asleep and then they tiptoed to the kitchen. They opened the bag of candy and saw many colors. They picked their favorite ones and put them in their mouths. They were so sweet and yummy. + +They heard a noise and saw their dad coming. They quickly hid the bag of candy under the table and pretended to be asleep on the couch. Their dad smiled and said, "What are you two doing here? It's past your bedtime." + +Lily and Max opened their eyes and said, "We were just resting, daddy. We're not sleepy." + +Their dad looked at them and saw something strange. Their mouths were glowing in the dark. He turned on the light and saw the candy stuck to their teeth. He said, "Oh, I see. You were eating candy, weren't you?" + +Lily and Max felt ashamed and nodded. They said, "We're sorry, daddy. We just wanted some candy. It was so good." + +Their dad said, "I know, candy is good, but not too much. And not before bed. Candy can make your teeth sick and hurt. You have to brush them every night and morning. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max said, "Yes, daddy. We understand. We won't eat candy before bed again." + +Their dad said, "That's good. Now, let's go to the bathroom and brush your teeth. Then we can go to your room and read a story." + +Lily and Max followed their dad and brushed their teeth. They saw the candy come off and their mouths stop glowing. They felt better and cleaner. They hugged their dad and said, "Thank you, daddy. We love you." + +Their dad said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are my proud twins. Now, let's go to bed and have sweet dreams." +Anna and Ben were going to visit their grandma. They packed their bags with toys, books and clothes. They were very excited to see grandma and play with her. + +They got in the car with mom and dad and drove for a long time. Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw trees, houses and animals. They sang songs and played games to pass the time. + +When they arrived at grandma's house, they ran to hug her. Grandma was very happy to see them and gave them kisses and cookies. She said, "Welcome, my lovely grandchildren! Come inside and unpack your bags. You can sleep in the guest room." + +Anna and Ben followed grandma to the guest room. They opened their bags and took out their things. Anna put her books and toys on the shelf. Ben put his clothes and toys in the drawer. They helped each other and shared their space. + +"Wow, you have a lot of stuff!" grandma said. "Your bags must be very heavy. How did you carry them?" + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "We are strong, grandma! We can lift a lot of weight. But we are also tired. Can we rest for a while?" + +"Of course, my dear ones," grandma said. "You can rest on the bed. I will make you some tea and sandwiches. Then we can play and have fun." + +Anna and Ben thanked grandma and cuddled on the bed. They felt warm and cozy. They loved grandma and her house. They were happy to be with her. +Sara and Tom were playing in the basement. They found a big box full of old things. They opened the box and saw a lot of shiny and colorful things. They wanted to see what they were. + +"Look, Tom, this is a tape!" Sara said, holding a long and thin thing. "It can measure how long and how big things are. Let's measure the box!" + +"OK, Sara, you hold one end and I hold the other end. Then we pull the tape and see the numbers." Tom said, taking the other end of the tape. + +They pulled the tape and measured the box. It was very big. They measured other things too, like the table, the chair, and the lamp. They had fun with the tape. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a scary noise. It sounded like a growl. They looked around and saw a big and furry thing. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear! + +"Aaaah! A bear!" Sara and Tom screamed. They dropped the tape and ran to the stairs. They wanted to get out of the basement. + +But the bear was faster. It ran after them and blocked the stairs. It roared and showed its teeth. Sara and Tom were very scared. They did not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" They shouted. "Mom! Dad! Help!" + +They hoped that someone would hear them and save them from the bear. They wished they had not played with the tape in the basement. +Lily liked to study books. She liked to learn new words and pictures. She had many books in her room. But her brother Max did not like books. He liked to play with cars and balls. He did not like to study. + +One day, Lily was studying a book about animals. She saw a picture of a lion. She said, "Look, Max, this is a lion. It is strong and big and has a mane." + +Max did not look. He said, "Books are boring. Lions are scary. I want to play with my car." + +He grabbed his car and ran to Lily's bookshelf. He pushed the books down and made a loud noise. Lily's books fell on the floor. Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Max, you are mean. You ruined my books. Go away!" + +Max did not go away. He laughed and said, "Books are silly. Cars are fun. I am stronger than you." + +He picked up his car and threw it at Lily. Lily dodged the car, but it hit her lamp. The lamp broke and the light went out. The room was dark. Lily and Max were scared. They heard a roar. + +It was their dad. He came into the room and saw the mess. He said, "What is going on here? Who did this?" + +Lily and Max did not answer. They were afraid of their dad. He looked like a lion. He was strong and big and had a mane. + +He saw the broken lamp and the books on the floor. He said, "This is not good. You two need to learn to respect each other and your things. Books are important. They teach you things. Cars are fun. They make you happy. But you cannot break things or hurt each other. That is not nice." + +He picked up Lily and Max and gave them a hug. He said, "I love you both. But you need to say sorry to each other and help me clean up this mess." + +Lily and Max said sorry to each other. They felt bad for what they did. They helped their dad clean up the room. They put the books back on the shelf and the car in the toy box. They fixed the lamp and turned on the light. The room was bright again. + +Lily said, "Dad, can you read me a book about lions?" + +Max said, "Dad, can you play with me and my car?" + +Dad said, "Sure, I can do both. But first, let me give you another hug. You are my strong and smart kids." +Bunny was a little rabbit who loved to hop. He hopped all day long, from his burrow to the meadow, from the meadow to the pond, from the pond to the forest. He hopped so much that he sometimes forgot to eat. His stomach would growl and rumble, but he would just hop some more. + +One day, he met a squirrel in the forest. The squirrel was busy collecting nuts for the winter. He saw Bunny hopping around and said, "Hello, Bunny. Why are you hopping so much?" + +Bunny stopped and said, "Hello, Squirrel. I hop because it is fun. I like to see new things and feel the wind in my fur." + +Squirrel nodded and said, "Hopping is fun, but you also need to eat. If you don't eat, you will get weak and sick. Look, I have some nuts here. Do you want to try some?" + +Bunny looked at the nuts and felt his stomach growl. He was very hungry. He said, "Thank you, Squirrel. I will try some nuts. Maybe they are tasty." + +He took a nut from Squirrel and bit into it. It was crunchy and sweet. He liked it very much. He ate another nut, and another, and another. He felt his stomach fill up and his energy come back. He said, "These nuts are very good, Squirrel. You are very successful at finding them." + +Squirrel smiled and said, "Thank you, Bunny. I am glad you like them. You are very successful at hopping. Maybe we can be friends and share our skills. You can teach me how to hop, and I can teach you how to find nuts." + +Bunny agreed and said, "That sounds like a good idea, Squirrel. We can be friends and help each other. Hopping and eating are both fun." + +They hugged and decided to hop and find nuts together. They were happy and healthy. They had found a new friend. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to watch TV after school. Mom says they can watch one show if they do their homework. Ben and Lily do their homework fast. They want to watch their favorite show about animals. + +They turn on the TV and sit on the couch. They see a big lion on the screen. The lion is roaring and chasing a zebra. Ben and Lily are excited. They love lions. They think lions are strong and brave. + +But then, the TV makes a loud noise. It goes black. Ben and Lily are confused. They look at each other. They try to turn the TV on again. It does not work. They are sad. They want to watch their show. They think their reward is gone. + +They hear Mom coming from the kitchen. They run to her. They tell her what happened. Mom looks at the TV. She says it is broken. She says they need to buy a new one. Ben and Lily are disappointed. They ask Mom if they can watch TV on her phone. Mom says no. She says they have to wait. + +Mom hugs them. She says she is sorry. She says they can do something else. She says they can play a game, read a book, or draw a picture. Ben and Lily think for a moment. They decide to draw a picture. They love to draw. They go to their room and get their crayons and paper. + +They draw a picture of a lion and a zebra. They make the lion friendly and the zebra happy. They are not frightened of the lion anymore. They are proud of their picture. They show it to Mom. Mom smiles. She says it is beautiful. She says they are very creative. She says they can have a cookie as a reward. Ben and Lily are happy. They thank Mom. They eat their cookie and enjoy their picture. They forget about the TV. They have fun with their mom and each other. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with cars and dolls. One day, they went to the beach with their moms. They were very happy. + +"Look, Mia, I have a new car!" Tom said. He showed her a red car with big wheels. "It can zoom very fast on the sand. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia said. She took the car and pushed it hard. The car zoomed away, leaving a trail of sand behind. "Wow, this is fun!" Mia said. + +Tom and Mia took turns to zoom the car on the beach. They made noises like vroom and beep. They laughed and smiled. Their moms watched them and smiled too. + +After a while, they saw a boy walking towards them. He had a blue car with shiny stickers. He looked at Tom and Mia's car and said, "That car is boring. It is too modest. My car is better. It has lights and sounds. It can zoom faster than yours." + +Tom and Mia felt sad. They liked their car. They thought it was fun. They did not want to play with the boy. + +"Go away!" Tom said. "We don't want to play with you. You are mean." + +"Yeah, go away!" Mia said. "You are rude. You don't know how to share." + +The boy frowned. He said, "Fine. I don't need you. I have my own car. It is the best car in the world." He turned around and walked away. + +Tom and Mia hugged each other. They said, "We don't need him. We have each other. We have our car. It is the best car for us." + +They continued to play with their car on the beach. They zoomed it on the sand, on the rocks, and on the shells. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Lily was very hungry. She saw a big jar of cookies on the shelf. She wanted a cookie very much. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too high and too heavy. She could not grab the handle. + +She saw her brother Tom in the living room. He was playing with his blocks. She ran to him and said, "Tom, help me get a cookie. I am hungry." + +Tom looked at her and said, "No, Lily. Those are not your cookies. Those are Mom's cookies. She made them for her friends. You have to wait for lunch." + +Lily was angry. She did not want to wait. She said, "No, Tom. I want a cookie now. Give me a cookie. I demand a cookie." + +Tom shook his head. He said, "No, Lily. You are being rude. You have to ask nicely. And you have to share. There are not many cookies left." + +Lily did not listen. She pushed Tom and ran to the shelf. She grabbed the jar and pulled it down. But the jar was too heavy and it slipped from her hands. It fell on the floor and broke. The cookies scattered everywhere. Some were smashed. Some were dirty. The jar was empty. + +Lily started to cry. She had no cookie. She had made a mess. She had been naughty. She heard Mom coming. She was scared. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had asked nicely. She wished she had waited for lunch. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their bedroom. They have many toys and books. But they also like to make a mess. Sometimes they throw their toys on the floor or on the bed. Sometimes they break their toys by accident. + +One day, Mom comes to their bedroom. She sees the mess and the broken toys. She is not happy. She says to Anna and Ben: "Look at this mess! You need to clean up your bedroom. And why are some of your toys broken? You need to be careful with your toys. They are not cheap." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say to Mom: "We are sorry, Mom. We were just having fun. We did not mean to break our toys. Can you help us fix them?" + +Mom says: "I can help you fix some of them, but not all of them. Some of them are too broken to fix. You need to learn to take care of your things. And you need to clean up your bedroom every day. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben say: "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will clean up our bedroom and take care of our toys. Can we include you in our play?" + +Mom smiles and says: "Yes, you can include me in your play. But only after you clean up your bedroom. Now, let's get to work." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They go to the park with their moms. Lily and Tom run and jump and slide. They have fun. + +But then it is time to go home. Lily and Tom do not want to go home. They want to play more. They say to their moms, "No, no, no! We want to play!" + +Their moms say, "Sorry, Lily and Tom. We have to go home. It is late. You are tired. We are tired. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They do not listen to their moms. They run away and hide behind a tree. They think their moms will not find them. + +But their moms are smart. They know where Lily and Tom are. They wait by the gate. They say, "Lily and Tom, we can see you. You are not hiding well. Come out, please. We have to go home." + +Lily and Tom peek from behind the tree. They see their moms waiting. They feel a little sorry. They are also a little tired. They come out from behind the tree. They say, "OK, moms. We will go home. But can we play again tomorrow?" + +Their moms smile and hug them. They say, "Yes, of course. You can play again tomorrow. But now, let's go home. We love you." + +Lily and Tom hold their moms' hands. They walk to the car. They are still sad, but they are also happy. They have good moms. They have good friends. They will play again tomorrow. +Lily and Max were bored. They wanted to play something fun. They looked around the room and saw a big drawer. They opened it and found many things inside. There were papers, crayons, scissors, glue, and stickers. + +"Let's be creative!" Lily said. "We can make something with these things." + +"OK!" Max agreed. "What do you want to make?" + +Lily thought for a moment. "I want to make a crown. I am a princess." + +Max nodded. "I want to make a sword. I am a knight." + +They took some papers, crayons, scissors, glue, and stickers and started to make their things. They cut, colored, glued, and stuck. They were very happy. + +They finished their things and showed them to each other. Lily put her crown on her head. Max held his sword in his hand. + +"Wow, you are very creative!" Lily said. "Your sword looks real." + +"Thank you!" Max said. "Your crown is very pretty." + +They smiled and hugged. They decided to play pretend. Lily pretended to be a princess in a castle. Max pretended to be a knight who came to save her. + +They ran around the room and had fun. They laughed and talked. + +But then, something bad happened. Max tripped over a toy and fell down. His sword flew out of his hand and hit the window. The window broke and made a loud noise. Glass shards fell on the floor. + +Lily and Max were scared. They heard their mom coming. She was angry. + +"What did you do?" she yelled. "You broke the window! You made a mess! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily and Max cried. They were sorry. They did not mean to break the window. They just wanted to play. + +But their mom did not listen. She took their things and threw them in the trash. She sent them to their room. She said they could not play anymore. + +Lily and Max were sad. They wished they had not played with the drawer. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had a better ending. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a pink dress and long hair. Lily always held Anna when she was sad or scared. + +One day, Lily got an invitation to go to Ben's birthday party. Ben was her friend from school. He liked to play with cars and trucks. Lily was happy to go to his party, but she did not know what to give him as a present. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what can I give Ben for his birthday?" + +Her mom said, "Why don't you give him one of your dolls? Maybe he would like to play with them too." + +Lily did not like that idea. She said, "No, mom, I can't give him my dolls. They are mine. I love them. I want to hold them." + +Her mom said, "Lily, it is nice to share with your friends. You have many dolls, but Ben has none. Maybe he would be very happy if you gave him one. You can still hold the others." + +Lily thought about it. She looked at her dolls. She loved them all, but she loved Anna the most. She did not want to give Anna away. But she also wanted to make Ben happy. She remembered how Ben shared his cookies with her at school. She decided to be brave and generous. + +She said, "Mom, I will give Ben one of my dolls. But not Anna. I will give him Lucy. Lucy has a blue dress and short hair. Maybe Ben will like her." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That is very kind of you, Lily. I am proud of you. Ben will love your present. And Anna will always be your special doll." + +Lily felt good. She wrapped Lucy in a nice paper and put a bow on it. She wrote a card that said, "Happy birthday, Ben. I hope you like Lucy. She is a good doll. Your friend, Lily." + +She took Anna and Lucy and went to the party. Ben was very happy to see her. He opened her present and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Lucy is a beautiful doll. I will take good care of her. Do you want to play with her and Anna?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Ben. I would like that. Let's play together." + +They played with the dolls and had fun. Lily was glad she gave Lucy to Ben. She learned that sharing is caring. And she still had Anna to hold. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide in the park. It is shiny and red. Lily and Ben want to try it. + +"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. It might be slippery," mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the slide. They take turns to climb up the ladder and slide down. They laugh and scream. They have so much fun. + +But then, Ben sees something on the ground. It is a leather jacket. It is black and has many buttons. Ben thinks it looks cool. He picks it up and puts it on. + +"Look at me, Lily. I am a rock star!" Ben says. + +He tries to slide down with the jacket on. But the jacket is too big and heavy for him. It makes him slip on the slide. He falls off and lands on the grass. + +"Ouch!" Ben cries. + +Lily and mom and dad run to him. They see that he has a scratch on his knee. Mom takes off the jacket and puts a band-aid on his knee. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" mom asks. + +"I am okay, mom. But the jacket is not perfect for me. It is too slippery," Ben says. + +Lily hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Ben. You are perfect for me. You are my twin and my best friend." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are perfect for me too. You are my twin and my best friend." + +They hug and kiss. Then they go back to the slide. They slide down together, holding hands. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They get in the car and put on their seat belts. Mom says, "Seat belts are important. They keep you safe." + +Lily and Tom nod. They like to be safe. They look out the window and see trees and houses and dogs. They feel excited. They sing a song together. Mom smiles and joins them. + +Soon they arrive at the park. Mom parks the car and helps them out. They run to the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They play with other kids and have fun. They feel happy. + +After a while, Mom calls them. "It's time to go home, kids. Say goodbye to your friends." Lily and Tom wave and hug their friends. They say, "Bye, see you soon." + +They get back in the car and buckle up. Mom says, "Did you have fun at the park?" Lily and Tom say, "Yes, Mom, we had a lot of fun. Thank you for taking us." Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you had fun. You are very important to me." Lily and Tom feel loved. They hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom." They drive home, feeling happy and tired. +Tommy was playing with his toy fireman in his room. He liked to pretend that he was a fireman too, and he made noises like a siren and a hose. He had a red hat and a coat that he wore when he played. + +"Tommy, it's time for bed," his mom called from downstairs. "You have to leave your toys and come brush your teeth." + +"But mom, I'm not sleepy," Tommy said. "I want to play more fireman." + +"Sorry, sweetie, but you have to sleep now. You can play fireman again tomorrow. Come on, let's go," his mom said. She came to his room and picked up his toy fireman. "Say good night to your fireman, Tommy." + +"Good night, fireman," Tommy said. He gave his toy a hug and handed it to his mom. He followed her downstairs and brushed his teeth. Then he put on his pajamas and climbed into his bed. + +His mom tucked him in and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you, Tommy. Have sweet dreams of fireman adventures," she said. + +"I love you too, mom. Good night," Tommy said. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep. He was still not very sleepy, but he thought about his fireman and the fires he would put out. He smiled and drifted off to sleep. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the living room. It had a tag that said "For Lily and Tom, from Grandma and Grandpa". They were very happy and curious. + +"What do you think is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe a new bike, or a doll, or a robot," Tom guessed. + +They decided to open the box and see. They tore off the paper and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw a small cage with a fluffy white bunny. The bunny had a red bow around its neck and a carrot in its mouth. + +"A bunny!" Lily exclaimed. "It's so cute and soft!" + +"I want to hold it!" Tom said. He reached for the cage and tried to take it out of the box. + +"Wait, Tom, be careful!" Lily said. "You have to be gentle and polite with the bunny. It might be scared or hurt." + +But Tom did not listen. He pulled the cage out of the box and opened the door. He grabbed the bunny by its ears and lifted it up. The bunny squeaked and kicked and tried to get away. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Lily cried. "You're hurting the bunny! Give it to me!" + +"No, it's mine!" Tom shouted. "I saw it first!" + +They started to fight over the bunny. They pulled and pushed and yelled. The bunny was very scared and sad. It wished it was back in its cage, or better, in its home with its friends. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. + +"What's going on here?" It was their mom. She had heard the noise and came to see. She saw the twins fighting and the bunny in distress. She was very angry and disappointed. + +"Lily and Tom, how could you do this?" she said. "This bunny is a gift from Grandma and Grandpa. They wanted you to share and take care of it. But you are being selfish and rude. You are hurting the bunny and each other. This is not how you treat a living thing or a sibling." + +She took the bunny from Tom and put it back in its cage. She closed the door and locked it. She picked up the cage and the box and carried them away. + +"You are not ready to have a pet," she said. "You have to learn to be kind and respectful first. Until then, the bunny will stay with me. And you two will go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been wrong and mean. They wished they had been more careful and polite with the bunny. They wished they had shared and played nicely. They hoped their mom would forgive them and let them see the bunny again. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that animals are not toys, but friends. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They learned that being polite is important and good. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big drum near the slide. They ran to the drum and took turns to hit it. The drum made loud noises that made them laugh. + +"Let me hit it more!" Ben said. He was greedy and wanted the drum for himself. + +"No, it's my turn!" Lily said. She was fair and wanted to share the drum. + +Ben was angry. He pinched Lily's arm hard. Lily cried out in pain. She let go of the drum and ran to her mom. + +Ben was happy. He had the drum all to himself. He hit it harder and harder. He was careless and did not look around. + +A big dog heard the drum. The dog did not like the noise. The dog ran to the drum and barked at Ben. Ben was scared. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. The dog bit Ben's leg. Ben screamed and dropped the drum. + +Lily's mom heard Ben's scream. She ran to help him. She saw the dog and the drum. She was angry and sad. + +"Ben, you were mean and selfish. You hurt Lily and made the dog angry. Now you are hurt and have no drum. You should say sorry to Lily and the dog." She said. + +Ben felt sorry. He was in pain and had no friends. He wished he had been nice and careful. He said sorry to Lily and the dog, but it was too late. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Sara says. + +"OK, but be alert. There may be bugs or animals on the hill," Ben says. + +They hold hands and walk to the hill. They start to climb. The hill is steep and hard. They have to use their feet and hands. They are tired and thirsty, but they keep going. + +"Look, we are almost at the top!" Sara says. + +"Yes, we are! I wonder what we will see," Ben says. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see trees and flowers and birds. They see a lake and a bridge and a boat. They see a town and a road and a car. They see the sun and the sky and the clouds. + +"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Sara says. + +"It is! We did it! We climbed the hill!" Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They are happy and proud. They sit on the hill and enjoy the view. They talk and laugh and sing. They have fun. + +The end. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and make things. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a green car that can go fast. Lily likes the car too. She asks Tom, "Can I borrow your car?" + +Tom says, "Yes, you can borrow my car. But be careful. It is my favorite toy." Lily says, "Thank you, Tom. I will be careful." She takes the car and plays with it. + +But then, Lily has a problem. She bumps the car into a wall. The car breaks. One wheel falls off. Lily is sad. She does not want to make Tom sad too. She thinks, "How can I fix the car?" + +She looks around. She sees some tape. Tape can stick things together. She thinks, "Maybe I can use the tape to fix the car." She takes the tape and tries to stick the wheel back on the car. But the tape is not strong enough. The wheel falls off again. Lily is more sad. + +She goes back to Tom. She says, "Tom, I am sorry. I broke your car. I tried to fix it with tape, but it did not work." She shows him the car and the tape. + +Tom is sad too. He says, "Oh, Lily. You broke my car. It was my favorite toy. Why did you break it?" Lily says, "I did not mean to break it. I was playing with it and I bumped it into a wall. I am very sorry." + +Tom looks at Lily. He sees that she is very sorry. He thinks, "Lily is my friend. She did not want to break my car. She tried to fix it. Maybe I can fix it too." He says, "It's okay, Lily. I am not mad at you. You are my friend. Maybe we can fix the car together. Do you have more tape?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I have more tape. Maybe we can use more tape to make the car strong." Tom says, "Yes, let's try that. Maybe we can make the car better than before." They take the tape and the car and go to a table. They work together to fix the car. + +They use a lot of tape. They tape the wheel back on the car. They tape the car all over. They make the car look different. They make the car look funny. They make the car look green. They laugh. + +They finish fixing the car. They say, "Look, we fixed the car. It is a new car. It is a green tape car. It is our car." They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We are good friends. We can share the car. We can play with the car. We can have fun with the car." + +They take the car and go to play. The car can still go fast. The car can still bump into walls. The car does not break. The car is strong. The car is green. The car is tape. The car is theirs. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the field. They liked to run and jump and roll in the grass. They saw some flowers and picked them for their mom. They were happy. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It had sharp teeth and dirty fur. Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the flowers and ran away. + +The dog chased them. It was faster than them. It caught up with them and jumped on them. Tom and Lily fell down. They screamed and cried. They trembled with fear. + +But then they heard another noise. It was their dad. He had heard them and came to help. He shouted at the dog and scared it away. He picked up Tom and Lily and hugged them. He said they were brave and he was proud of them. He took them home and gave them cookies and milk. They were safe and happy. +Tim and Jen liked to play on the lawn. The lawn was green and soft and had many flowers. They ran and jumped and laughed on the lawn. They had a great time. + +One day, they saw a big pile of leaves on the lawn. They thought it would be fun to jump in the leaves. They ran to the pile and jumped in. But the leaves were not fun. They were wet and smelly and sticky. They had rot on them. + +"Yuck!" Tim said. "These leaves are bad. They make me feel sick." + +"Me too," Jen said. "Let's get out of here." + +They tried to get out of the pile, but they could not. The leaves were too heavy and sticky. They pulled and pushed, but they could not move. They started to cry. + +"Help!" Tim shouted. "Help us!" + +"Help!" Jen shouted. "Help us!" + +But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were stuck in the rot leaves. They felt more and more sick. They stopped crying. They stopped shouting. They stopped moving. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys in Lily's room. Lily has a big window in her room. She can see the trees and the birds and the sky. Ben likes to look out the window too. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with their blocks. They are building a tower. Lily says, "I need more blocks. Can you supply me some blocks, Ben?" Ben says, "OK, Lily. I will supply you some blocks." He gives her some blocks from his pile. + +But then, Ben sees a red car outside the window. He loves cars. He says, "Wow, look at that car! It is so shiny and fast!" He runs to the window to see the car better. He forgets about the blocks and the tower. + +Lily is sad. She says, "Ben, where are you going? We are not done with the tower. Come back and help me!" But Ben does not hear her. He is too busy watching the car. He says, "Vroom, vroom! I wish I had a car like that!" + +Lily feels angry. She says, "Ben, you are not a loyal friend. You left me alone with the tower. You only care about the car. You are a bad friend!" She throws a block at Ben. The block hits him on the head. He cries. + +Lily and Ben are both unhappy. They do not want to play with each other anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the room. They do not talk. They do not look at each other. They do not have fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with their snowman in the yard. They had made him with a big ball for his body, a smaller ball for his head, a carrot for his nose, and two buttons for his eyes. They had also given him a hat and a scarf to keep him warm. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Lily said, smiling at their creation. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to be careful. The sun is very bright today. It might melt him," Ben said, looking at the sky. + +They decided to play with their snowman for a little while longer, and then go inside for some hot chocolate. They made him sing and dance with them, and pretended he was their friend. + +But while they were having fun, a mean boy named Max was watching them from across the street. He did not like Ben and Lily, or their snowman. He wanted to ruin their game. He waited until they went inside, and then he ran to their yard. He grabbed the snowman's hat and scarf, and threw them away. He pulled out the carrot and the buttons, and tossed them in the snow. He kicked the snowman's head and body, until they broke into pieces. + +"Ha ha ha! Take that, you stupid snowman!" Max laughed, feeling proud of himself. + +But he did not see that Ben and Lily's dad had come out of the house, and had seen everything. He was very angry at Max, and he grabbed him by the arm. + +"Hey, you! What do you think you are doing? You have no right to destroy their snowman! That was very mean and rude of you!" he shouted, scolding Max. + +"I don't care! It's just a snowman! It was going to melt anyway!" Max said, trying to get away. + +"That's no excuse! You owe them an apology, and you have to help them make a new one. And then you have to go home, and stay there. You are in big trouble, young man. You are going to jail!" he said, dragging Max to his house. + +Max was very scared and frustrated. He did not want to go to jail. He wished he had not been so mean to Ben and Lily, and their snowman. He realized he had made a big mistake. He hoped they would forgive him, and maybe be his friends. He learned his lesson. He would never ruin a snowman again. +Lily was a big girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but she wanted more. She did not like to share her toys with her friends or her little brother. She was not nice to them. + +One day, it was her birthday. She was very happy. She hoped to get many presents from her family and friends. She opened her presents one by one. She got a doll, a book, a puzzle, and a teddy bear. She smiled and said thank you, but she did not really mean it. She wanted more presents. + +She saw one more present under the table. It was big and wrapped in shiny paper. She ran to get it. She did not see who gave it to her. She ripped the paper and opened the box. Inside, there was a big cake. It looked yummy. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. It had a candle on top. Lily was happy. She thought it was her cake. She did not want to share it with anyone. She picked up the cake and ran to her room. + +But she did not know that the cake was not hers. It was a present for her friend Anna, who was also having a birthday. Anna's mom had made the cake and brought it to Lily's party. She had put it under the table to surprise Anna later. She had written a card that said "Happy birthday, Anna! I love you, Mom." + +Lily did not see the card. She did not care. She only cared about herself. She locked her door and put the cake on her bed. She blew the candle and made a wish. She wished for more toys. She did not wish for anything good. She was a bad girl. + +She took a big bite of the cake. It was sweet and soft. She liked it. She ate more and more. She did not stop. She did not think of anyone else. She did not think of Anna, who was waiting for her cake. She did not think of her friends, who wanted to sing happy birthday to her. She did not think of her mom, who had worked hard to make her party nice. + +She ate the whole cake. She felt sick. She had a tummy ache. She had a headache. She had a toothache. She felt bad. She cried. She wanted her mom. She wanted her friends. She wanted to say sorry. But it was too late. She had been greedy and selfish. She had spread bad feelings to everyone. She had ruined her birthday and Anna's birthday. She had learned a hard lesson. She had to be kind and share. She had to be grateful and happy. She had to be a good girl. +Tim and Mia were lost in the woods. They saw a house made of candy and cake. They were very hungry, so they ran to the house and started to eat. + +"Yum, this tastes so good!" Tim said, biting a gingerbread man. + +"Me too, this is the best cake ever!" Mia said, licking a chocolate roof. + +But inside the house, a witch was watching them. She was very angry, because they were eating her house. She opened the door and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you naughty children, stop eating my house! You are my dinner now!" + +Tim and Mia were very scared. They tried to run away, but the witch was faster. She grabbed them and dragged them inside. She locked them in a cage and started to heat up a big pot of water. + +"I will boil you and taste you, you little snacks!" the witch said, laughing wickedly. + +Tim and Mia cried and hugged each other. They wished they had never seen the candy house. They wished they were back home, where they were safe and comfortable. But it was too late. The witch was ready to cook them. They had no hope of escape. The end. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to smell the roses and the mint. She liked to touch the grass and the dirt. + +One day, she saw a new flower. It was white and yellow. It had many petals. It looked like a sun. Lily wanted to pick it. She ran to the flower and reached for it. + +But when she touched the flower, she felt something tickle her hand. She looked and saw a bug. It was black and yellow. It had wings and stripes. It looked like a bee. Lily was scared. She let go of the flower and ran away. + +She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. That was not a bee. That was a ladybug. Ladybugs are good bugs. They don't sting. They eat bad bugs. They are friends of the flowers." + +Lily was curious. She asked, "What is the name of the flower?" + +Her mom said, "That is a daisy. Daisies are pretty flowers. They grow in many places. They are friends of the ladybugs." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I like daisies and ladybugs. Can I go back and see them?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But be gentle. Don't pick the daisies. Let them grow. And don't scare the ladybugs. Let them fly. They will be happy to see you." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I will be gentle and kind. I want to discover more things in the garden." + +She ran back to the daisy and the ladybug. She said hello to them. She watched them and learned from them. She had fun in the garden. +Anna and Ben were playing with their cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and beep. Anna had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look, Anna, I can make my car go faster than yours!" Ben said. He pushed his car hard and it flew over a rock. + +"Wow, Ben, that was cool!" Anna said. She tried to do the same, but her car got stuck in the grass. She pulled and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Help me, Ben, my car is trapped!" Anna cried. + +Ben ran to help her. He grabbed her car and tried to release it from the grass. He pulled and pulled, but it did not move either. + +"What's wrong with your car, Anna? It's so heavy!" Ben said. + +They looked at the car and saw something shiny under it. It was a metal box with a lock and a key. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it's a treasure!" Anna said. + +"Or a secret!" Ben said. + +They were curious and excited. They wanted to open the box and see what was inside. They looked for the key, but they could not find it. + +"Where is the key, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it's hidden somewhere!" Anna said. + +They searched the garden for the key. They looked under the rocks, in the flowers, in the sand. They could not find it. + +They were sad and frustrated. They wanted to open the mysterious box, but they could not. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They ran to the house with the car and the box. + +"Mom, mom, look what we found!" they shouted. + +Their mom looked at them and smiled. + +"What do you have there, my darlings?" she asked. + +They showed her the car and the box. They told her they could not find the key. + +She looked at the box and laughed. + +"Oh, you found my old jewelry box! I lost the key a long time ago. I forgot I buried it in the garden. It's not a treasure or a secret, just some old necklaces and earrings. Do you want to see them?" she asked. + +They nodded eagerly. They wanted to see what was inside the box. + +She took a pin and picked the lock. She opened the box and showed them the jewelry. They sparkled and glittered in the sun. + +They were amazed and happy. They tried on the necklaces and earrings. They felt like princes and princesses. + +They thanked their mom and hugged her. They played with the jewelry and the car. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the mysterious box. It was not a mystery anymore, just a memory. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Anna likes to slide down fast. Ben is scared of the slide. He thinks it is too high. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. Anna runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She says to Ben, "Come on, Ben, slide with me. It is fun!" + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Anna, I am scared. The slide is too high. I will fall." + +Anna says, "No, Ben, you will not fall. I will hold your hand. Trust me. It is not scary. It is fun!" + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is smiling. He wants to be brave like Anna. He says, "OK, Anna, I will try. But you have to hold my hand." + +Anna says, "OK, Ben, I will hold your hand. Come on, let's go!" + +Anna and Ben hold hands and slide down the slide. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +They reach the bottom of the slide and hug each other. They say, "That was fun! Let's do it again!" + +Their moms watch them and smile. They are proud of Anna and Ben. They say, "Good job, Anna and Ben! You are brave and kind!" + +Anna and Ben run to the slide again. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They slide and slide until it is time to go home. + +They say goodbye to each other and to the slide. They walk to the gate of the park. They say, "See you tomorrow, slide! See you tomorrow, friend!" +Anna was going to visit her grandma for a week. She was very happy, because she loved her grandma and her big house with a garden. She wanted to take her kitten, Fluffy, with her. Fluffy was small and soft and liked to play with Anna. + +"Mom, can I pack Fluffy in my bag?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, you can't. Fluffy has to stay here with me. Grandma is allergic to cats. She will sneeze and itch if Fluffy is near her." Mom said. + +"But I will miss Fluffy so much. He is my best friend. Please, Mom, please." Anna begged. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, but you have to leave Fluffy here. He will be fine. I will feed him and pet him and play with him. You can call me every day and talk to him. And you will have fun with Grandma. She has a lot of toys and books and cookies for you." Mom said. + +Anna was not happy. She did not want to leave Fluffy. She packed her clothes and her teddy bear in her bag, but she left a small space for Fluffy. She had a plan. She waited until Mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she ran to her room and grabbed Fluffy. She put him in her bag and zipped it up. She hoped he would be quiet and not meow. + +She took her bag and went to the car. Mom did not notice Fluffy in the bag. She drove Anna to the airport. Anna hugged Mom and said goodbye. She got on the plane with her bag. She was happy. She thought she was smart. She thought Fluffy would be happy too. + +But Fluffy was not happy. He was scared and hot and hungry and thirsty. He did not like the dark and the noise and the shaking. He tried to meow, but no one heard him. He tried to scratch, but he could not get out. He felt sick and sad. He wished he was home with Mom. + +Anna did not know Fluffy was sick and sad. She did not open her bag until she got to Grandma's house. She wanted to surprise Grandma with Fluffy. But when she opened her bag, she did not see Fluffy. She saw something else. Something bad. Something that made her scream and cry. + +Fluffy was dead. +Zara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves. They ran to the pile and jumped in. The leaves were red and yellow and brown. They made a crunchy sound. + +"Look, Zara, I found a leaf!" Ben said. He held up a green leaf. It was shiny and smooth. "It is still on the tree. It did not fall down." + +"Wow, Ben, it is pretty!" Zara said. She wanted to see the leaf. She reached out her hand. Ben gave her the leaf. She looked at it closely. She saw tiny veins and dots. She wondered how it felt. She touched it with her tongue. + +"Yuck!" Zara said. She spit out the leaf. It was bitter. It made her mouth feel bad. She did not like the leaf. She threw it away. + +"Sorry, Zara, I did not know it was bitter," Ben said. He felt bad. He wanted to make Zara happy. He looked around. He saw a butterfly. It was blue and white. It flew in the air. It was beautiful. + +"Look, Zara, a butterfly!" Ben said. He pointed to the butterfly. He wanted to catch it. He ran after it. Zara ran after him. They followed the butterfly. It zoomed over the flowers and the grass. It was fast and graceful. They laughed and clapped. + +The butterfly led them to a pond. There were ducks and frogs and fish. They saw their reflections in the water. They smiled. They forgot about the bitter leaf. They were happy. They played with the butterfly and the animals. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They found some flour, eggs, milk and sugar. They mixed them in a big bowl. + +"Can I stir, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't spill it," Lily said. + +They stirred the batter with a big spoon. They poured it into a pan. They put it in the oven. + +They waited for the cake to bake. They smelled something good. + +"Is it ready, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I think so. Let's check," Lily said. + +They opened the oven. They saw a big, brown cake. They were happy. + +They took it out of the oven. They put it on the table. They wanted to decorate it. + +They found some frosting, sprinkles and candles. They spread the frosting on the cake. They added the sprinkles and the candles. + +They made a weapon with the frosting. They pretended to fight with it. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead, Lily!" Ben said. + +"No, I'm not. You missed me, Ben!" Lily said. + +They laughed and played. + +They heard their mom coming. They hid the weapon. They smiled. + +"Surprise, mom! We baked a cake for you!" they said. + +Their mom was surprised. She hugged them. She thanked them. + +They lit the candles. They sang a song. They blew them out. + +They cut the cake. They ate it. It was delicious. + +They felt comfortable and happy. They loved their mom. They loved each other. They loved their cake. +Sara loves horses. She has many toys of horses. She likes to play with them and make them run and jump. She wants to see a real horse one day. + +One day, her dad says, "Sara, I have a surprise for you. We are going to the farm. There is a famous horse there. He is very big and strong. He can do many tricks. Do you want to see him?" + +Sara is very happy. She says, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to see the famous horse. Can I touch him? Can I ride him?" + +Her dad says, "Maybe. We have to ask the farmer first. He is very nice. He will bring the horse to us. Come on, let's go." + +They go to the car and drive to the farm. Sara sees many animals on the way. She sees cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. She likes them, but she likes horses more. + +They arrive at the farm. The farmer is waiting for them. He says, "Hello, Sara. I'm glad you came. I have a special horse for you. His name is Star. He is a famous horse. He can do many tricks. He can dance, jump, and bow. Do you want to see him?" + +Sara says, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to see Star. Please bring him to me." + +The farmer says, "Okay. Wait here. I will bring him to you." + +He goes to the barn and comes back with a big black horse. He has a white star on his forehead. He is very beautiful. Sara is amazed. She says, "Wow! He is so big and pretty. He has a star like his name. Hello, Star. I'm Sara. I love you." + +The farmer says, "Star loves you too. He is very friendly. He likes to play with children. Do you want to touch him?" + +Sara says, "Yes, please. Can I?" + +The farmer says, "Sure. You can. But be gentle. He is very soft. You can pet his mane, his nose, and his back. He likes that." + +Sara goes to Star and pets him. He is very soft and warm. He snorts and nuzzles her. He likes her too. Sara is very happy. She says, "Thank you, farmer. Thank you, dad. Thank you, Star. You are the best horse ever. You are my favorite." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They loved to spring on the swings, slide on the slide, and climb on the monkey bars. But their favorite thing to do was to dance on the grass. They would spin, jump, and twirl to the music in their heads. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the park. It was a big, shiny ball that bounced very high. Lily and Tom ran to the ball and wanted to play with it. But there was a problem. There was only one ball, and they both wanted it. + +"Let me have the ball!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, let me have it!" Tom said. "I want to bounce it!" + +They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. They were very selfish and did not want to share. They forgot about their friendship and their dance. + +A lady who worked in the park saw them fighting. She was not happy. She walked to them and took the ball away. + +"Stop it, you two!" she said. "This ball is not yours. It belongs to the park. You can play with it, but you have to take turns and be nice. Or else, you can't play with it at all." + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They realized they had been very rude and silly. They said sorry to each other and to the lady. They decided to share the ball and play together. They bounced the ball, threw it, and caught it. They had fun with the ball, but they also remembered their dance. They put the ball aside and danced on the grass again. They were happy and friendly. They learned their lesson. +Tom is a cute dog. He has a red collar with his name on it. He likes to play with his ball and his friends. One day, he sees a new dog in the park. The new dog is big and brown. He has no collar. + +"Hi, I am Tom. What is your name?" Tom asks the new dog. + +"I am Rex. I have no name on me. I have no home. I am sad," Rex says. + +Tom feels sorry for Rex. He wants to be his friend. He says, "You can play with me and my ball. You can share my water and my food. You can be my friend." + +Rex is happy. He smiles and wags his tail. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You are my friend." + +Tom and Rex play together. They run and chase and fetch the ball. They drink and eat and rest. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel had a big nut in its mouth. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Lily said. "It is so cute and fluffy. I want to pet it." + +"No, don't!" Sam said. "Squirrels are mean and bitey. I hate squirrels. They stole my sandwich once." + +Lily did not listen to Sam. She ran to the tree and tried to reach the squirrel. The squirrel saw Lily and got scared. It dropped the nut and ran away. + +"Hey, come back!" Lily shouted. "I just want to be your friend." + +Sam followed Lily and saw the nut on the ground. He picked it up and smiled. + +"Ha, ha, I got your nut, squirrel!" he said. "This is payback for my sandwich." + +But then he heard a loud growl behind him. He turned around and saw a big dog. The dog was hungry and angry. It wanted the nut too. + +"Uh-oh," Sam said. "We are in trouble." + +Lily saw the dog and got worried. She did not want the dog to hurt Sam or her. + +"Sam, give the nut back to the squirrel!" she said. "Maybe the dog will leave us alone then." + +Sam did not want to give the nut back. He wanted to keep it. But he was more afraid of the dog than the squirrel. He threw the nut to the tree and hoped the squirrel would catch it. + +The squirrel saw the nut flying to it and was happy. It grabbed the nut and ran away. The dog saw the nut too and ran after it. It barked and jumped and tried to get the nut. + +Sam and Lily watched the dog and the squirrel chase each other. They felt relieved and sorry. + +"Maybe we should not bother the squirrel," Sam said. "It was just trying to eat its nut." + +"Maybe we should not hate the squirrel," Lily said. "It was just scared of us." + +They hugged each other and decided to play somewhere else. They learned to be kind and careful with animals. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Mia has a cold. She sneezes a lot. She has a red nose and watery eyes. + +"Are you okay, Mia?" Ben asks. He is worried about his friend. + +"I'm sick, Ben. I have a cold. I need to rest and drink water," Mia says. She coughs and sneezes again. + +"Can I help you, Mia? Can I bring you a treat?" Ben says. He wants to make Mia happy. + +"That's very kind of you, Ben. But you should not come too close to me. You might catch my cold. You should stay clean and healthy," Mia says. She knows that colds can spread. + +"Okay, Mia. I will stay here. But I will still talk to you. And I will bring you a treat later. Maybe a cookie or a fruit," Ben says. He smiles and waves at Mia. + +Mia smiles and waves back. She feels a little better. She is glad that Ben is her friend. He is caring and smart. She hopes that he will not get sick. + +The moral of the story is: When someone is sick, we should be kind and helpful, but also careful and clean. We should not share germs, but we can share words and treats. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two eyes and a mouth with coal. They were very proud of their snowman. + +But then, a big dog came and ran towards the snowman. He wanted to play with the hat and the scarf. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. The coal eyes and mouth fell off and the carrot nose broke. Ben and Lily were very sad and angry. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" they shouted at the dog. The dog was scared and ran away. Ben and Lily started to cry. They wanted their snowman back. + +A nice lady saw them and came to help. She had a basket with some cookies and milk. She gave them to Ben and Lily and said, "Don't cry, children. It was just a snowman. You can make another one. The dog didn't mean to hurt him. He was just curious and playful. Maybe he was lonely and wanted a friend." + +Ben and Lily stopped crying and ate the cookies and drank the milk. They felt better and warmer. They said thank you to the lady and smiled. They realized that the lady was right. The dog was not bad, he was just different. They decided to be kind and forgiving. + +They also decided to make a new snowman, but this time, they made a smaller one for the dog. They put a bone in his mouth and a collar around his neck. They hoped that the dog would come back and see it. They thought that maybe they could be friends with the dog. They felt happy and comfortable. They learned that being angry and shouting is not good. Being nice and sharing is better. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun, but then Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Ben asked Lily. + +"No, this is my doll. You have your truck," Lily said. + +"But I like your doll. It has nice hair and a nice dress. Please, can I have it?" Ben requested. + +"No, Ben. You can't have it. It is mine. You can play with your truck or something else," Lily said. + +Ben was not happy. He wanted the doll very much. He thought of a plan. He waited until Lily was not looking and then he grabbed the doll and ran away. + +"Hey, give me back my doll!" Lily shouted. She ran after Ben. + +Ben ran to his room and locked the door. He hugged the doll and smiled. He thought he had the power now. He did not care that Lily was sad and angry. + +But then he heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. + +"Ben, what are you doing? Why did you take Lily's doll?" his mom asked. + +"Because I wanted it. It is a nice doll," Ben said. + +"Ben, that is not nice. You can't take things that belong to other people. That is not how we share. You have to give the doll back to Lily and say sorry," his mom said. + +Ben did not want to give the doll back. He liked the doll. But he knew his mom was right. He had been mean to Lily. He opened the door and gave the doll back to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have taken your doll. Can we still be friends?" Ben said. + +Lily was still upset, but she saw that Ben was sorry. She took the doll and hugged it. + +"Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. Yes, we can still be friends. But next time, you have to ask me nicely if you want to play with my doll. And I will ask you nicely if I want to play with your truck. OK?" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily. That sounds fair. Can we play together now?" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. Let's play together. But first, let's give mom a hug and say thank you for helping us," Lily said. + +They hugged their mom and said thank you. Then they went back to the living room and played with their toys. They shared and took turns. They had fun and they were nice to each other. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big poster of a navy ship on the wall. The poster is thick and shiny. + +One day, Lila and Ben decide to play navy. They put on their blue hats and pretend to be sailors. They use their toy binoculars and boats to look for enemies. They make loud noises and say "Aye, aye, captain!" + +But then, Lila has an idea. She wants to hang the poster on the ceiling. She thinks it will look like the sky. She tells Ben her idea. Ben thinks it is fun. They get a chair and some tape. They climb on the chair and try to hang the poster. + +But the poster is too big and heavy. It falls down on them. They fall off the chair. They get tangled in the poster. They start to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Lila and Ben on the floor. She sees the poster and the tape. She is not happy. She helps them get out of the poster. She hugs them and says "Are you okay?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They say "Sorry, Mom. We wanted to play navy. We wanted to hang the poster." + +Mom smiles. She says "I understand. But hanging posters is not safe. You could get hurt. Next time, ask me first. Okay?" + +Lila and Ben say "Okay, Mom. We are sorry." + +Mom says "It's okay. I love you. Now, let's put the poster back on the wall. And then, we can play navy together. How does that sound?" + +Lila and Ben smile. They say "That sounds great, Mom. Thank you. We love you too." +Lila loved to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mama gave her for her birthday. She liked to make music with it and sing along. Sometimes, she played for her friends or her family. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mama and her violin. She saw a big boy with a bike. He looked at her violin and said, "What is that? That is not a toy. That is a silly thing. Give it to me." + +Lila felt scared and angry. She said, "No, this is my violin. I love it. You cannot have it. Go away." + +The big boy tried to grab her violin. He was stronger than Lila. He pulled hard and made Lila fall. Lila cried out and held on to her violin. She did not want to lose it. She tried to resist the big boy. + +Mama heard Lila and ran to help her. She pushed the big boy away and hugged Lila. She said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? You are very brave. You did not let him take your violin. I am proud of you." + +Lila smiled and hugged her mama back. She said, "Thank you, mama. I am okay. I love you and I love my violin." + +Mama kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lila. And I love your music. Let's go home and play some songs together." + +Lila nodded and picked up her violin. She was happy and safe. She walked with her mama and played her violin. She felt brave and strong. +Tom and Lily like to play a game with their old phone. The phone is big and black and has a long cord. It does not work, but they pretend it does. They take turns to ring each other and talk. + +One day, Tom is in his room and Lily is in the living room. Tom picks up the phone and dials a number. He waits for Lily to answer. He hears a ring, ring, ring, but no one says hello. He tries again, but still no answer. He wonders where Lily is. + +He goes to the living room and sees Lily on the couch. She is holding a book and a toy phone. She is not playing their game. She is reading and talking to her toy phone. Tom feels sad and angry. He wants to play their game. + +He walks up to Lily and says, "Lily, why are you not playing our game? I was ringing you, but you did not answer. You are not being nice." + +Lily looks up and says, "Tom, I am sorry. I was reading a new book. It is very interesting. It has pictures and words. I was talking to my toy phone, too. It is a new phone. It is small and pink and has buttons. It makes sounds and lights. It is fun." + +Tom feels curious and jealous. He wants to see the new book and the new phone. He says, "Lily, can I see your book and your phone? Can I play with them, too?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Sure, Tom. You can see them and play with them. But can we play our game later? I like our game, too. It is fun to ring each other and talk." + +Tom nods and says, "OK, Lily. We can play our game later. But now, let me see your book and your phone. They look cool." + +Lily and Tom share the book and the phone. They read and talk and laugh. They are happy. They are still friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. They lived in a big house with a big yard and many trees. One day, they saw something new in the yard. It was a big animal with brown fur and big horns. It looked like a deer, but bigger and stronger. + +"Wow, what is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, let's go see!" Lily said. + +They ran towards the animal, but it was not afraid.

She also gave them a flea collar to keep the fleas away. + +One day, Tom and Ben saw a purple flea on the floor. It was shiny and pretty. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can we play with the flea?" Tom asked the lady. + +"No, you can't," the lady said. "The flea is bad. It will bite you and make you itch. You have to wear your flea collar and stay away from the flea." + +But Tom and Ben did not listen. They waited until the lady was busy. Then they took off their flea collar and ran to the flea. + +"Hi, flea," Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +"Yes, I do," the flea said. "But you have to let me jump on you and drink your blood. That's how I play." + +Tom and Ben did not know what blood was. They thought it was fun to let the flea jump on them. They felt a little pinch, but they did not mind. + +Soon, the flea had many friends. They were all purple and shiny. They all jumped on Tom and Ben and drank their blood. Tom and Ben started to feel sick. They scratched and scratched, but the fleas did not go away. They felt weak and tired. + +The lady saw what happened. She was angry and sad. She took Tom and Ben to the vet. The vet gave them medicine and a bath. He said they had a lot of fleas and they needed to be careful. + +Tom and Ben were sorry. They wished they had listened to the lady. They wished they had not played with the flea. They learned their lesson. They never took off their flea collar again. They never saw the purple flea again. They hoped the flea was not happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have bikes and scooters. They always wear helmets when they ride. Helmets keep their heads safe. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big bike, but no helmet. He rides very fast and does tricks. Anna and Ben are curious. They go to talk to him. + +"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What's your name?" Anna asks. + +"I'm Leo. I'm new here. Do you like my bike?" Leo says. + +"Your bike is cool, but where is your helmet?" Ben asks. + +"I don't need a helmet. Helmets are for babies. I'm not a baby. I'm a big boy." Leo says. + +Anna and Ben are shocked. They think helmets are important. They try to explain to Leo. + +"Helmets are not for babies. Helmets are for everyone. They protect your head from bumps and bruises. If you fall, you could hurt your head. That would be bad." Anna says. + +"Yeah, helmets are smart. They make you look like a superhero. We have different helmets. Mine has a star, and Anna's has a flower. What would you like on your helmet?" Ben says. + +Leo looks at Anna and Ben. He sees their helmets. He thinks they are nice. He thinks maybe he was wrong. He thinks maybe he wants a helmet too. + +"Can I try your helmet?" Leo asks Ben. + +"Sure, you can try it. But you have to be careful with it. It's my favorite helmet." Ben says. + +He gives his helmet to Leo. Leo puts it on. It fits him well. He feels the star on his head. He feels happy. + +"Wow, this helmet is awesome. It makes me feel like a star. Thank you for letting me try it." Leo says. + +"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Maybe you can get your own helmet. Then we can all ride together." Ben says. + +"That would be fun. I think I will ask my mom for a helmet. Maybe I can get one with a lion. That's my favorite animal." Leo says. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are happy that Leo changed his mind. They are happy that they have a new friend. They are happy that they all have helmets. Helmets are good. +Sam was a boy who liked to run and jump and play. He liked to exercise every day. He wanted to be strong and fast and healthy. He had a friend named Ben who liked to exercise too. They had fun together. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was sitting on a bench and reading a book. He looked sad and lonely. Sam and Ben wanted to be nice and make a new friend. They ran to the boy and said hello. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Sam asked. + +"My name is Leo," the boy said. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked. + +Leo shook his head. He said he did not like to exercise. He said he liked to read and learn. He said exercise was boring and hard and tiring. + +Sam and Ben felt sorry for Leo. They wanted to show him that exercise was fun and good for him. They invited him to join them in a game of tag. They said it was easy and exciting and made them happy. + +Leo was curious and agreed to try. He put down his book and followed Sam and Ben. They ran around the park, chasing and dodging each other. Leo was slow and clumsy at first, but he soon got better and faster. He started to smile and laugh. He felt his heart beat and his muscles work. He felt strong and alive. + +He thanked Sam and Ben for teaching him a new thing. He said he liked to exercise now. He said he wanted to play with them again. Sam and Ben were glad and hugged him. They said they liked to read and learn too. They said they wanted to see his book. They said they could be friends and do both things together. + +They all went to the bench and shared Leo's book. They read and talked and learned. They also played and ran and exercised. They were happy and healthy and smart. They learned that exercise and reading were both good for them. They learned that they could have different interests and still be friends. They learned that they could help each other grow and have fun. They learned a lot that day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They saw a big candle on the table. It was red and smelled like flowers. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said no. + +"That is not for us. That is for Mom and Dad. They light it when they eat dinner. It is lovely and makes them happy. We have to be careful and not touch it," Tom said. + +Lily nodded, but she was still curious. She wanted to see the candle closer. She climbed on a chair and reached for the candle. Tom saw her and shouted. + +"Lily, no! You will fall and hurt yourself. And the candle will fall too and make a fire. Come down now!" Tom said. + +Lily was scared. She let go of the candle and tried to get down. But she slipped and fell. The chair fell too and knocked the candle over. The candle rolled on the floor and set the rug on fire. Lily and Tom screamed. + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the living room. They saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. They threw the blanket over the fire and put it out. They hugged Lily and Tom and checked if they were hurt. + +"What happened here? Why did you touch the candle? You know it is dangerous," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom were sorry. They cried and said they were sorry. They told Mom and Dad what they did. + +Mom and Dad were angry, but also relieved. They told Lily and Tom that they loved them, but they had to be more careful and listen to them. They said they would not light the candle anymore, but they would find another way to make their dinner lovely. They said they were glad that Lily and Tom were safe and that the fire did not spread. They said they would clean up the mess and buy a new rug. + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom and Dad and said they loved them too. They said they would not touch the candle again, or any other thing that was not for them. They said they would be good and play with their toys. They said they were sorry for ruining their dinner. + +Mom and Dad smiled and kissed them. They said it was okay, and that they could still have a lovely dinner together. They said they were proud of them for telling the truth and for learning from their mistake. They said they would always love them, no matter what. They said they were a family, and that was the most lovely thing of all. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to learn new things. Today, they are going to the museum with Mom and Dad. The museum has many things to see and do. + +"Are you ready, Anna and Ben?" Mom asks. She has a big bag with snacks and water. + +"Yes, Mom, we are ready!" Anna and Ben say. They put on their coats and hats. They are excited to go to the museum. + +They get in the car and drive to the museum. They see many cars and buses on the road. They also see trees and birds and houses. They sing songs and play games in the car. + +They arrive at the museum. They see a big sign with the word "Museum" and a picture of a dinosaur. They want to see the dinosaur. + +"Can we see the dinosaur, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Can we see the dinosaur, Dad?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, we can see the dinosaur. But first, we have to buy tickets and follow the rules. The museum is a place where we have to be quiet and respectful. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We will be quiet and respectful. We will not touch anything or run or shout. We will listen and look and learn." Anna and Ben say. + +They buy tickets and enter the museum. They see many people and many things. They see paintings and sculptures and fossils and animals and stars and planets. They are amazed by everything. + +They decide to see the dinosaur first. They follow the signs and find the dinosaur. It is very big and very old. It has sharp teeth and long tail and big bones. It is not alive. It is a skeleton. + +"Wow, look at the dinosaur!" Anna says. + +"It is so big and so old!" Ben says. + +They stand in front of the dinosaur and look at it. They ask Mom and Dad questions about the dinosaur. They learn its name and what it ate and how it lived. They are happy and curious. + +They decide to see more things in the museum. They have a lot of fun and learn a lot of things. They are glad they came to the museum. They thank Mom and Dad for taking them to the museum. They have a good day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with a bell on its collar. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Sara asked Ben. + +"OK, but be gentle," Ben said. + +They walked up to the dog and stroked its fur. The dog licked their faces and made them giggle. They heard a snap behind them. They turned around and saw a man with a stick. The man looked angry and shouted at them. + +"Get away from my dog! He is not for you to touch!" the man said. + +Sara and Ben were frightened. They ran away from the dog and the man. They heard the bell jingle as the dog followed them. They reached their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"Are you OK, sweeties?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we are OK, but the man was mean," Ben said. + +"And the dog was nice, but he had a bell," Sara said. + +Mom and dad looked at the dog, who was still wagging his tail. They saw the man coming after them. He looked sorry and embarrassed. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just worried about my dog. He is old and sick, and sometimes he snaps at strangers. The bell is to help me find him when he wanders off," the man said. + +He bent down and petted his dog. He smiled at Sara and Ben. + +"Would you like to say sorry to my dog? His name is Max," the man said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They walked up to Max and said sorry. They gave him a pat and a treat. Max licked their hands and wagged his tail. + +"Thank you, you are very kind. Max likes you now," the man said. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They were not frightened anymore. They made a new friend. +Tom and Jen are playing with their toy train. They like to make it go fast and make noise. They fill the train with water and put it on the fire. The water becomes steam and comes out of the train. + +"Look, Jen, the train is red and hot!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. The steam makes it go fast. Let's make it go around the track!" Jen says. + +They push the train and watch it go. They are happy and excited. But then, something bad happens. The train goes too fast and falls off the track. It hits the floor and breaks. The water and the steam come out. The train is not red and hot anymore. It is cold and quiet. + +"Oh no, Jen, we lost our train!" Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, it was an accident. Maybe we can fix it?" Jen says. + +They try to put the train back together, but they can't. They are sad and upset. They don't want to play anymore. They hug each other and cry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken train and the water and the steam. She understands what happened. She feels sorry for them. + +"Don't cry, Tom and Jen. It's okay. Accidents happen. You can still play with other toys. Maybe we can get a new train later. I love you both." Mom says. + +She hugs them and kisses them. She helps them clean up the mess. She gives them some cookies and milk. She tells them a story. They feel better and smile. They love Mom. They are happy again. +Lily did not like to wash her hair. She hated the shampoo that made her eyes sting and her hair sticky. She always tried to hide from Mom when it was time for a bath. + +One day, Mom found Lily under the bed. She pulled her out and carried her to the bathroom. Lily kicked and screamed, but Mom was stronger. + +"Stop it, Lily!" Mom said. "You have to wash your hair or it will get dirty and smelly. Do you want that?" + +"No!" Lily said. "But I don't want shampoo either!" + +Mom sighed. She filled the tub with warm water and put some toys in it. She hoped that Lily would calm down and have some fun. + +She poured some shampoo on her hand and rubbed it on Lily's hair. Lily felt the bubbles tickle her scalp. She giggled a little. + +"See, it's not so bad," Mom said. "Now let me rinse it off." + +She took a cup of water and poured it over Lily's head. Lily felt the water run down her face and into her eyes. She cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said. "It hurts, Mom! It hurts!" + +Mom quickly wiped Lily's eyes with a towel. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. But you have to keep your eyes closed when I rinse your hair, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She felt weak and sad. She wished she had listened to Mom and not hid under the bed. + +Mom kissed her and said, "I love you, Lily. You have beautiful hair. But you have to take care of it, or I will have to punish you. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded again. She said, "I love you, Mom. I'm sorry. I will be good next time." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's my girl. Now let's dry your hair and get you ready for bed." +Lily was a dog who liked to learn new things. She learned how to sit, how to roll over, and how to fetch. Her owner, Tom, was very happy with her and gave her treats and hugs. + +One day, Tom bought Lily a new collar. It was red and shiny and had a bell on it. Lily thought it was impressive and wagged her tail. Tom put the collar on Lily and said, "Now you look very pretty, Lily. Let's go for a walk and show everyone your new collar." + +Lily and Tom went outside and walked around the park. Lily saw many other dogs and people. She barked hello and wagged her tail. Everyone admired her new collar and said, "What a smart and beautiful dog you are, Lily. You have an impressive collar." + +Lily felt very proud and happy. She learned that wearing a collar was fun and that she was a good dog. She licked Tom's face and thanked him for the collar. Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you very much." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a flag on top. "Let's go there!" Sara said. "We can raise the flag and see the whole park!" + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They reached the flag and pulled it up. It was red and blue and white. It waved in the wind. "Wow, look how wide the park is!" Ben said. "I can see the pond and the swings and the trees!" + +They heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a lion. It had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. It saw Sara and Ben and ran towards them. "Oh no, a lion!" Sara screamed. "What do we do?" + +They were scared and did not know how to get away. They looked at the flag. It was big and bright. Sara had an idea. "Quick, Ben, grab the flag!" she said. "We can use it to scare the lion!" + +They took the flag and waved it in front of the lion. The lion stopped and blinked. It did not like the flag. It was too noisy and colorful. It hurt its eyes. It turned around and ran away. Sara and Ben cheered. They had saved themselves with the flag. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were brave and smart. They lowered the flag and ran down the hill. They saw a zookeeper looking for the lion. They told him what happened. He thanked them and took the lion back to the zoo. Sara and Ben went back to playing. They had a fun and exciting day. They never forgot how they raised the flag and scared the lion. They were proud of themselves. They were graceful and strong. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys on the floor. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They talk to each other and make noises with their toys. + +One day, Sara sees a new toy in Ben's hand. It is a shiny rocket. Sara likes rockets. She asks Ben, "Can I play with your rocket, please?" Ben says, "No, it is mine. I got it from my mom. You have your doll." Sara feels sad. She wants to play with the rocket too. + +Ben sees that Sara is sad. He thinks for a moment. He likes his rocket, but he likes Sara more. He is a generous friend. He says, "Okay, you can play with my rocket for a little while. But be careful. It is fragile." Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will be careful." She takes the rocket and makes it fly in the air. + +Sara and Ben play with the rocket and the doll on the floor. They talk and laugh and have fun. They share their toys and their stories. They are happy. They are generous friends. +Lily liked to play with her doll. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a hat. Lily and Anna did everything together. They had tea parties, read books and sang songs. + +One day, Lily saw a new girl in the park. She had a doll too, but her doll was different. Her doll had long black hair and a red dress. Her doll could talk and move her eyes. Lily thought her doll was interesting. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Lily asked the new girl. + +"My name is Mia, and this is my doll, Lucy," the new girl said. "What is your name?"
