What is deaf?" + +The girl's mom explained, "Deaf means you can't hear anything. Some people are born deaf, like my daughter. Some people become deaf later, like me.

Thank you for the dance." + +They wave goodbye and run back to their house. They tell their mom and dad about Grace and the van and the dance. They show them their stickers. They ask them to take them to the school. + +Their mom and dad are surprised and happy. They say yes. They say they are proud of them for being polite and curious. They say they are lucky to meet a ballerina. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They eat their lunch and get ready to go. They can't wait to see Grace again. They can't wait to see her dance. They think she is the most graceful person in the world. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She drew flowers, trees, animals and people. She was very good at drawing. She wanted to teach her little brother Tom how to draw too. + +"Tom, come here. I will teach you how to draw a beautiful cap," she said. She showed him a red cap with a star on it. "You need a red crayon and a yellow crayon. Watch me." + +She drew a circle for the top of the cap, a rectangle for the brim, and a star in the middle. "See? It is easy. Now you try," she said. She gave him the crayons and a paper. + +Tom took the crayons and tried to copy Lily. But he was not good at drawing. His circle was not round, his rectangle was not straight, and his star was not pointy. He felt sad. He did not like his cap. + +"Lily, I can't draw a beautiful cap like you. My cap is ugly," he said. He showed her his paper. + +Lily looked at his paper. She saw that his cap was different from hers. But she also saw that he tried his best. She smiled at him. + +"Tom, your cap is not ugly. It is different. And different is good. You have your own style. I like your cap. It is colorful and fun. Do you want to draw more things with me?" she said. + +Tom felt happy. He liked that Lily liked his cap. He nodded. He wanted to draw more things with her. + +They drew more caps, and also suns, clouds, cars and houses. They had fun. They learned that drawing is not about being perfect, but about being creative and having fun. + +The moral value of the story is: You should appreciate your own talents and not compare yourself to others. You should also be kind and supportive to your friends and family. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big truck in the park. The truck had a picture of a horse on it. Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the horse. + +They ran to the truck and peeked inside. They saw a big, brown horse. The horse had a long mane and a long tail. The horse looked at them and made a loud noise. "Neigh!" The horse said. Ben and Lily were scared. They screamed and ran away. + +"Hey, kids, don't be afraid!" A man said. He came out of the truck. He was wearing a hat and a jacket. He had a rope in his hand. He was the horse's owner. "This is my horse, Rusty. He is very friendly. He likes to perform in the circus. Do you want to see him do some tricks?" + +Ben and Lily stopped running. They looked at the man and the horse. They were still scared, but also curious. They nodded slowly. The man smiled. He led the horse out of the truck. He showed them how the horse could jump, dance and bow. Ben and Lily clapped and laughed. The horse was amazing. He was not scary. He was weird, but in a good way. + +"Wow, he is so cool!" Ben said. + +"Can we pet him?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can. He likes to be petted. Just be gentle and calm." The man said. He helped Ben and Lily to touch the horse's mane, nose and back. The horse nuzzled them and made a soft noise. "He likes you. You are very brave and kind." The man said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy. They made a new friend. They thanked the man and the horse. They said goodbye and ran back to the swings. They had a lot of fun in the park. They never forgot the weird horse and his tricks. They hoped to see him again. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big animals, old rocks and shiny cars. But Tom and Lily liked the skeleton room the best. There were many bones of people and animals. They looked scary and funny. + +"Look, mom, a skeleton!" Tom said, pointing at a big one. "It has no skin or hair or eyes. How can it see and talk?" + +"It can't, Tom. It is not alive. It is just bones. The bones show us how the body was when it was alive. Do you want to learn more?" mom said. + +"Yes, yes!" Tom and Lily said. They followed mom to a screen that had a picture of a skeleton. A voice started to talk and explain the names of the bones and what they do. Tom and Lily listened and learned. + +But then, something strange happened. The skeleton on the screen moved and turned to look at them. It opened its mouth and said in a loud voice: "Hello, children. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They screamed and ran to mom. Mom was also scared. She looked at the screen and saw the skeleton smiling. It was a prank. Someone had made the skeleton talk and move with a remote control. They heard laughter from behind a curtain. It was a man who worked at the museum. He had played a joke on them. + +"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It was just a joke. I hope you are not angry." the man said, coming out of the curtain. He had the remote control in his hand. He looked sorry. + +Tom and Lily were still scared, but they were also curious. They looked at the man and the remote control. They saw how he made the skeleton talk and move. They thought it was clever and funny. + +"It's okay, we are not angry. But don't do that again. You scared us a lot." Tom said. + +"Yes, please don't do that again. But can you show us how you do it?" Lily said. + +The man smiled and nodded. He showed them how he used the remote control to make the skeleton talk and move. He also told them how he made the voice and the sound effects. Tom and Lily learned how to make a prank with a skeleton. They thought it was cool and fun. + +They thanked the man and said goodbye. They went to see other things in the museum. But they liked the skeleton room the best. They told mom what they learned and what they saw. Mom was happy and proud. She applauded them for being brave and smart. Tom and Lily smiled and hugged mom. They had a great day at the museum. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They saw a new person sitting on a bench. He was bald and had a big smile. He waved at them. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is new here. Let's say hello," Ben said. + +They walked to the bench and said, "Hello, we are Ben and Lily. What is your name?" + +The bald person said, "Hello, Ben and Lily. I am Sam. I just moved here with my wife. We live in the blue house over there." + +Ben and Lily looked at the blue house. It was very pretty. + +"Wow, your house is nice. Do you like it here?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I do. Everyone is very friendly and kind. I like the park and the trees and the birds," Sam said. + +"We like them too. We come here every day to play. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. + +Sam smiled and said, "Sure, I would love to. What are you playing?" + +Ben and Lily showed him their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll and a book. + +"We can share. You can choose what you want to play with," Ben said. + +Sam thanked them and picked the book. He said, "I like books. They have stories and pictures. Can I read to you?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and sat next to him. Sam opened the book and read to them. They listened and looked at the pictures. They liked the book and Sam. They felt happy. + +They played and read for a long time. Then they heard their moms calling them. It was time to go home. + +"Bye, Sam. It was nice to meet you. You are a good person. Can we play with you again?" Ben and Lily asked. + +"Bye, Ben and Lily. It was nice to meet you too. You are good kids. Of course we can play again. I will be here tomorrow. You are welcome to join me anytime," Sam said. + +They hugged and said goodbye. They walked to their moms and told them about Sam. Their moms smiled and said, "We are glad you made a new friend. He sounds very nice. Maybe we can invite him and his wife for dinner sometime." + +Ben and Lily agreed. They liked Sam and his blue house. They hoped to see him again soon. They waved at him and said, "See you tomorrow, Sam!" +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird on a tree. Sara has a camera. She wants to take a picture of the bird. + +"Look, Ben, a bird! It is pretty. I want to take a picture of it. Can you help me?" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara. I can help you. But we have to be quiet. And we have to go close to the bird. Or it will fly away." Ben says. + +They walk slowly and quietly to the tree. Sara holds the camera. Ben holds her hand. They are very close to the bird. Sara presses the button. The camera makes a click sound. + +"Oh no! The bird heard the sound. It is flying away!" Sara says. + +"Too bad, Sara. Maybe we can try again later. Or we can find another pretty bird." Ben says. + +They look at the camera. They see the picture of the bird. It is not very clear. But they can see its colors and its wings. + +"It is not a good picture. But it is still a picture. We can show it to mom and dad. Maybe they will like it." Sara says. + +"Maybe they will. Let's go and find them. And maybe some ice cream too." Ben says. + +They run to their parents. They show them the picture. They tell them about the bird. They ask for ice cream. Their parents smile and hug them. They are happy. +Sam and Mia liked to design things with paper and crayons. They made houses, cars, animals and flowers. They had a lot of fun together. Sam was dependable. He always helped Mia when she needed something. + +One day, they decided to design a big rocket. They used a lot of paper and tape and glue. They drew windows, doors, wings and a nose. They were very proud of their rocket. They wanted to make it fly. + +"Let's put a flame in the nose," Sam said. "Then it will go up in the sky." + +"That sounds fun," Mia said. "But where will we get a flame?" + +Sam looked around. He saw a lighter on the table. His dad used it to light candles. He took the lighter and went to the rocket. + +"Sam, wait!" Mia said. "That's not a good idea. The flame is hot. It can burn the paper." + +But Sam did not listen. He wanted to see the rocket fly. He turned on the lighter and put it in the nose of the rocket. + +The paper caught fire. The flame grew bigger and bigger. The rocket burned. The smoke filled the room. Sam and Mia screamed. They ran away from the rocket. + +Their mom heard the noise. She came to the room. She saw the fire. She was very angry and scared. She grabbed Sam and Mia and took them outside. She called the firemen. + +The firemen came and put out the fire. They checked the room. They said the rocket was gone. They said the paper and the glue made the fire worse. They said Sam and Mia were lucky they did not get hurt. + +Sam and Mia felt very sorry. They cried. They hugged their mom. They said they were sorry. They said they would never play with fire again. + +Their mom was glad they were safe. But she was also very sad. She said they had to pay for the damage. She said they had to learn a lesson. She said they could not design things with paper and crayons for a long time. She said they had to go to bed early. + +Sam and Mia went to bed. They did not have any fun. They did not have any rocket. They wished they had listened to Mia. They wished they had not used the flame. They wished they had a better ending. +Sara and Mom went to visit Grandma. Grandma lived in a big house with a garden. Sara liked to play with Grandma's cat, Fluffy. Fluffy was gray and soft and liked to chase balls. + +"Hello, Sara and Mom!" Grandma said. She gave them hugs and kisses. "I'm happy to see you. Come inside, I have cookies and milk for you." + +"Thank you, Grandma!" Sara and Mom said. They followed Grandma to the kitchen. Sara saw Grandma's purse on the table. It was red and shiny and had a lot of things inside. + +"Can I look at your purse, Grandma?" Sara asked. She was curious about what Grandma had in her purse. + +"Sure, dear, but be careful. Don't spill anything or lose anything," Grandma said. She smiled and handed Sara her purse. + +Sara opened the purse and peeked inside. She saw a wallet, a phone, a comb, a lipstick, a tissue, and a key. She took out the key and held it in her hand. It was silver and had a heart shape. + +"What is this key for, Grandma?" Sara asked. + +"That's the key to my jewelry box, Sara. I keep my earrings and necklaces and rings in there. Do you want to see them?" Grandma asked. + +"Yes, please, Grandma!" Sara said. She liked shiny things. She gave Grandma back the key and the purse. Grandma took Sara's hand and led her to her bedroom. There, on the dresser, was a wooden box with flowers on it. Grandma opened the box with the key and showed Sara her jewelry. Sara gasped. They were so pretty and sparkly. Grandma let Sara try on some of them. Sara felt like a princess. + +"Wow, Grandma, you have so many beautiful things. I love them!" Sara said. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are very sweet. You know, when you grow up, I will give you some of these things. They are very special to me, and you are very special to me, too," Grandma said. + +"Really, Grandma? Thank you! I love you, Grandma!" Sara said. She hugged Grandma and kissed her cheek. + +"I love you, too, Sara. You are my precious granddaughter," Grandma said. She hugged Sara back and kissed her forehead. + +Mom came to the bedroom and saw Sara and Grandma. She smiled and took a picture of them. They looked very happy and loved. Mom was happy, too. She loved her mom and her daughter. They were her family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. Do you think he likes the snow?" Ben asked. + +"Of course he does. He is made of snow!" Lily said. + +They heard a jingle in the sky. They looked up and saw a sleigh with eight reindeer. The reindeer had shiny bells on their collars. They flew over the snowman and waved at Lily and Ben. + +"Wow, reindeer!" Ben said. "They are so pretty and fast!" + +"Maybe they are Santa's reindeer. Maybe they are bringing presents for us!" Lily said. + +"Maybe. But we have to be good and go to bed early. Santa only comes when we are asleep." Ben said. + +They waved back at the reindeer and ran inside. They told their mom and dad what they saw. + +"Reindeer? In the sky?" Mom said. + +"Yes, mom. They were flying with a sleigh. They were so nice!" Lily said. + +"That sounds wonderful, sweetie. Maybe they were on their way to the North Pole." Dad said. + +"Or maybe they were on their way to our house!" Ben said. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They gave them hot chocolate and cookies. They read them a story and tucked them in. + +"Good night, Lily and Ben. We love you." Mom said. + +"Good night, mom and dad. We love you too." Lily and Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and dreamed of reindeer and snowmen and presents. They did not know that Santa was watching them from the window. He smiled and winked at the snowman. He whispered to the reindeer. + +"Let's go, boys. We have a lot of work to do. But first, let's leave some gifts for these two little ones. They have been very good this year." He said. + +The reindeer nodded and flew to the roof. Santa climbed down the chimney with a big sack. He put some toys and books under the tree. He filled the stockings with candy and nuts. He ate some cookies and drank some milk. He wrote a note for Lily and Ben. + +"Dear Lily and Ben, thank you for being so kind and cheerful. I hope you like your presents. Merry Christmas! Love, Santa." He wrote. + +He climbed back up the chimney and got on the sleigh. He waved at the snowman and the reindeer. He shouted with joy. + +"Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" He said. + +He flew away with the reindeer. The snowman smiled and winked back. He was happy too. He had made some new friends. He hoped to see them again next year. He whispered to the stars. + +"Merry Christmas, Lily and Ben. Merry Christmas, Santa and reindeer. Merry Christmas, everyone." He said. +Tim and Sue went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Tim and Sue liked to feed them bread. They threw some pieces into the water. + +One swan came close to them. It was white and beautiful. But it had some filthy mud on its feathers. It looked sad and dirty. + +"Hello, swan," Sue said. "Why are you so filthy? Don't you like to be clean?" + +The swan did not answer. It just looked at Sue with its black eyes. + +Tim laughed. "Sue, swans can't talk. They can only honk. And maybe this swan likes to be filthy. Maybe it thinks mud is fun." + +Sue shook her head. "No, Tim. Swans are proud and graceful. They don't like to be filthy. They like to be clean and shiny. Maybe this swan needs our help. Maybe it can't find a place to wash." + +The swan heard Sue. It nodded its head. It wanted to be clean and shiny. It wanted to find a place to wash. But the pond was too dirty. There was too much trash and dirt in it. The swan felt sad and lonely. + +Sue saw the swan nod. She smiled. "See, Tim? The swan can hear me. It can understand me. It wants our help. Let's find a way to help it." + +Tim shrugged. He did not believe Sue. He thought she was silly. He did not care about the swan. He wanted to play with the ducks. He ran away. + +Sue stayed with the swan. She looked around. She saw a small fountain near the pond. The water was clear and fresh. She had an idea. + +"Come on, swan," she said. "Follow me. I know a place where you can wash. It's not far. It's over there. See the fountain?" + +The swan saw the fountain. It liked the water. It wanted to wash. It followed Sue. Sue led it to the fountain. She helped it climb up. She watched it splash and shake. She saw the mud come off its feathers. She saw the swan become clean and shiny. She saw the swan smile. + +"Thank you, Sue," the swan said. "You are very kind. You are my friend." + +Sue was surprised. She heard the swan talk. She was happy. She hugged the swan. She said, "You are welcome, swan. You are very beautiful. You are my friend too." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. They are very happy because they are going on holiday with their mum and dad. They are going to the beach, where they can swim and build sandcastles. + +"Are you ready to go?" Mum asks them. She has packed their bags and their toys. Sara and Ben nod. They are very enthusiastic. They put on their hats and sunglasses. They help Mum and Dad carry the bags to the car. + +"Can we sing a song?" Sara asks. She likes to sing. Ben nods. He likes to sing too. They sing a song about the sea and the sun. Mum and Dad join in. They are all very cheerful. + +They drive for a long time. They see cows and sheep and trees and flowers. They stop for a picnic. They eat sandwiches and fruit and drink juice. They run around and play tag. They laugh and giggle. + +They arrive at the beach. They see the blue water and the yellow sand. They hear the waves and the seagulls. They smell the salt and the sunscreen. They are very excited. They jump out of the car and run to the shore. They splash and swim and build sandcastles. They have a lot of fun. They are very happy. They are on holiday. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big spider on a web. The spider was black and hairy. Lily wanted to touch it. + +She reached out her hand to the spider. The spider did not like that. It felt scared and angry. It bit Lily's finger. Lily felt a sharp pain. She cried out loud. + +Mama heard Lily's cry. She ran to the garden. She saw the spider and the bite. She was very worried. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She said, "We need to go to the doctor. The spider might be bad." + +Mama and Lily got in the car. Lily felt cold and sick. She shivered and whimpered. Mama tried to support her. She said, "It will be okay. The doctor will help you." + +But it was not okay. The spider was very bad. It had poison in its bite. The poison made Lily very sick. The doctor could not help her. Lily died. Mama was very sad. She wished she had never let Lily play with the spider. +Lily was a little girl who liked to climb. She climbed on chairs, on tables, on trees, and on rocks. She wanted to climb on everything she saw. + +One day, she saw a big hill near her house. It had many flowers and grass and birds. Lily wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Can I climb the hill, mom?" Lily said. + +"Okay, but be careful, Lily. The hill is steep and rocky. And take this cane with you. It will help you balance and walk," mom said. She gave Lily a long stick with a curve at the end. It was her grandpa's cane. He used it when his legs hurt. + +"Thank you, mom. I will be careful," Lily said. She took the cane and ran to the hill. She started to climb. She used the cane to poke the ground and push herself up. She felt strong and happy. + +She climbed and climbed until she reached the top of the hill. She looked around and saw many things. She saw the sun and the clouds and the sky. She saw the trees and the houses and the cars. She saw a lake and a bridge and a boat. She saw a lot of things she had never seen before. + +She smiled and said, "Wow, this is amazing. I'm glad I climbed the hill. I learned so much. I love climbing!" +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. They were spoiled children who did not share or say thank you. + +One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was very bright and had many colors. They ran to their mom and asked her what it was. + +"That is a rainbow," mom said. "It is a sign of hope and beauty. It appears when the sun and the rain meet. Do you see where it ends?" + +Lily and Tom looked at the rainbow. They saw that it ended in the west, where the sun was going down. They had an idea. + +"Mom, can we go to the west and find the end of the rainbow?" they asked. "Maybe there is a pot of gold there. We want more toys!" + +Mom shook her head. "No, you cannot go to the west and find the end of the rainbow. It is too far and too dangerous. And there is no pot of gold there. That is just a story. You have enough toys. You should be happy with what you have." + +But Lily and Tom did not listen to mom. They waited until she was busy and then they sneaked out of the house. They took their bikes and rode to the west, following the rainbow. They thought they would be rich and have more fun. + +But they were wrong. The rainbow was not a real thing. It was just an illusion. It moved as they moved. They could never reach it. They got lost and tired and scared. They wished they had stayed home and listened to mom. They learned a lesson. They were not spoiled anymore. +Sam was a driver. He liked to drive his big truck and go to different places. He was very independent. He did not need anyone to help him or tell him what to do. He did not like to cook. He thought cooking was boring and hard. He only ate fast food and snacks. + +One day, he had to deliver some boxes to a farm. He drove his truck on the road and saw a sign that said "Fresh Eggs". He was hungry and wanted some eggs. He stopped his truck and went to the farm. He saw a hen house with many chickens and eggs. He thought, "I can cook some eggs for myself. It will be easy and fun." + +He took a basket and filled it with eggs. He did not ask the farmer or pay for them. He was independent. He did not care about other people. He went back to his truck and looked for a stove. He did not have a stove. He only had a microwave. He thought, "I can cook eggs in the microwave. It will be fast and easy." + +He put some eggs in a bowl and put them in the microwave. He did not crack them or add water or salt. He did not know how to cook eggs. He pressed a button and waited. He heard a loud noise. He opened the microwave and saw a mess. The eggs had exploded. They were everywhere. They were on the microwave, on the truck, on his clothes, on his face. They smelled bad and looked gross. + +He heard a voice. It was the farmer. He was angry. He said, "Hey, you! What are you doing with my eggs? You stole them from me! You made a mess of my eggs and your truck! You are a bad driver and a bad cook! You should be ashamed of yourself!" + +Sam felt scared and sorry. He realized he had done a wrong thing. He had been selfish and careless. He had not respected the farmer or his eggs. He had not learned how to cook. He had wasted food and money. He wished he had been more polite and responsible. He wished he had asked for help or advice. He wished he had not been so independent. + +The moral of the story is: Being independent is good, but not when it hurts others or yourself. You should also be respectful, honest, and willing to learn. Cooking can be fun and healthy, but you need to follow some rules and be careful. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun with their toys. + +One day, the sky is blue and the sun is bright. Lily and Tom go to the park with their mom. They see a big tree with thick branches. They think it is a good place to fly their kite. + +"Let's fly our kite here!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the tree and tie their kite to a branch. They pull the string and watch the kite go up in the air. The kite is red and yellow. It looks like a bird. + +They laugh and clap their hands. They are happy. + +But then, a strong wind blows. The kite moves fast and hard. The string breaks and the kite flies away. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom say. + +They are sad. They lose their kite. + +They look at the sky and see the sun is high. It is noon. They are hungry. + +"Let's go home and have lunch," their mom says. + +"OK," Lily and Tom say. + +They hope they will find their kite again. They love their kite. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big yellow truck near the fence. It had a loud horn and a shiny shovel. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom said. "Can we go and see it?" + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It might be dangerous." + +They ran to the fence and looked at the truck. It was very big and noisy. They saw a man in the truck. He was wearing a helmet and a vest. + +"Hello, mister!" Tom shouted. "What are you doing with the truck?" + +The man looked at them and smiled. He said, "I'm digging a hole for a new playground. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +The man pressed a button and the shovel moved. It scooped up some dirt and dumped it on the ground. Tom and Lily clapped and cheered. + +"That's so cool!" Tom said. "Can we try?" + +"Sorry, kids, you can't," the man said. "The truck is not a toy. It's very powerful and heavy. You could get hurt." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to play with the truck. They thought it would be fun. + +"Please, mister, just one time," Lily said. "We'll be careful." + +The man shook his head. He said, "No, no, no. It's too dangerous. You have to stay away from the truck. Go and play somewhere else." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until the man was busy. Then they sneaked to the truck. They climbed on the seat and looked at the buttons and levers. + +"Let's make the horn beep," Tom said. He pressed a button and the horn made a loud sound. + +"Beep, beep, beep!" Tom and Lily laughed. + +The man heard the horn and turned around. He saw Tom and Lily in the truck. He was angry and scared. He ran to the truck and shouted, "Hey, get out of there! You're not supposed to be in the truck!" + +Tom and Lily were scared too. They wanted to get out of the truck. But they did not know how. They pressed another button and the shovel moved. It swung towards the fence and hit it. The fence broke and fell down. + +"Crash!" The fence made a loud noise. + +Tom and Lily screamed. They were very sorry. They did not mean to break the fence. They did not mean to make the man mad. + +The man reached the truck and opened the door. He took Tom and Lily out of the seat. He said, "What were you thinking? You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. You were very naughty. You have to say sorry and go home." + +Tom and Lily said sorry. They were very ashamed. They did not want to play with the truck anymore. They wanted to go home. + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what happened. They said sorry again. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We're glad you're OK. But you have to listen to the man. He knows what's best. The truck is not a toy. It's a tool. You have to respect it and stay away from it." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said goodbye to the man and thanked him for the new playground. They said goodbye to the truck and the yellow horn. + +They went home and had some sweet cookies. They were happy and safe. They decided to play with their own toys next time. They liked to slide, swing and run. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to look at the stars. Every night, they would go outside with their mom and dad and point at the bright dots in the sky. Mom and dad would tell them the names of the stars and the planets and the moon. + +One night, Tom and Lily saw something very special. It was a big yellow ball that looked like a star, but much bigger and brighter. Mom and dad said it was a comet, a rock that flies in the sky. They said it was very rare and they were lucky to see it. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. "Can we make a wish on it?" + +"Sure, why not?" Mom said. "But you have to close your eyes and say it in your heart." + +Tom and Lily closed their eyes and made their wishes. They wished for different things, but they both wished to be happy and healthy and have fun. + +When they opened their eyes, the comet was still there, shining like a yellow smile. Tom and Lily smiled back and hugged mom and dad. + +"Thank you, comet, for listening to our wishes," Tom said. + +"Thank you, universe, for making the comet," Lily said. + +Mom and dad smiled and kissed them on their heads. + +"Thank you, Tom and Lily, for being our stars," they said. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. One day, they see a new toy on the shelf. It is a top that can spin and make colors. + +"Wow, look at that top!" Ben says. "I want to play with it!" + +"Me too!" Lily says. "Let's take it down and try it!" + +They climb on the bed and reach for the top. But they both grab it at the same time and pull hard. The top falls to the floor and breaks into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily cry. "We broke the top!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees the broken top and the sad twins. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Did you behave?" + +Ben and Lily shake their heads. They know they did not behave. They were not careful with the new toy. They were not nice to each other. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Ben and Lily say. "We wanted to play with the top, but we fought over it and broke it." + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not angry. She loves her twins, even when they make mistakes. + +"I see," Mom says. "Well, breaking things is not good, but saying sorry is good. Do you know how you can be helpful?" + +Ben and Lily think. They want to be helpful. They want to make Mom happy. + +"Maybe we can clean up the mess?" Ben suggests. + +"Maybe we can fix the top?" Lily adds. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of her twins. They are learning to be helpful. + +"That's a good idea," Mom says. "Let's do that. And next time, remember to share and be gentle with your toys, okay?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They hug Mom and say, "Okay, Mom. We love you." + +They work together to clean up the mess and glue the top back. Then they take turns to spin the top and watch the colors. They are happy. They are behaving. They are helpful. +Tom and Mia are kids who like to play with balloons. One day, they find a big red balloon in the park. They are very happy and take turns holding it. + +"Can I have the balloon now?" Mia asks Tom. + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Tom says. He gives the balloon to Mia and she smiles. + +Mia holds the balloon very tight. She does not want to share it with Tom anymore. She thinks the balloon is hers. + +"Give me the balloon back!" Tom says. He tries to grab the balloon from Mia. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. She pulls the balloon away from Tom. + +They start to fight over the balloon. They pull and tug and shout. They do not see the big tree behind them. + +Suddenly, the balloon pops. It hits the tree and makes a loud noise. The balloon is gone. Tom and Mia are sad and scared. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They realize they were being mean and selfish. They hug and say sorry. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I should have shared the balloon with you," Mia says. + +"I am sorry, Mia. I should have been nicer to you," Tom says. + +They learn their lesson. They decide to play together and share their toys. They are friends again. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are in school. They like to draw on the blackboard with chalk. They have many colors of chalk: red, blue, green, yellow, and more. They make colorful pictures of animals, flowers, and cars. + +One day, their teacher says, "Class, we have a surprise for you. We are going to the park today. Put on your coats and hats and line up at the door." Anna and Ben are very happy. They love the park. They have swings, slides, and sand there. + +They rush to the door with the other kids. They want to be the first ones to go outside. But they forget something. They forget to erase their drawings on the blackboard. They leave the blackboard full of colorful chalk. + +The teacher sees the blackboard. She is not happy. She says, "Who did this? Who left the blackboard so messy? You have to erase your drawings before you go. This is not nice. This is not respectful." + +Anna and Ben hear the teacher. They feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We did it. We were too excited to go to the park. We forgot to erase our drawings. Can we go back and clean the blackboard?" + +The teacher says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be quick. The bus is waiting for us. And next time, remember to erase your drawings. The blackboard is for everyone to use. Not just for you." + +Anna and Ben nod. They run back to the classroom. They take the eraser and wipe the blackboard. They make it clean and white again. Then they join the teacher and the other kids. They go to the park and have fun. They learn their lesson. They will not forget to erase their drawings again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. Sara sees a big red ball on the grass. She runs to get it. + +"Look, Ben, a ball!" she says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nods and smiles. He likes balls. He runs to Sara and they start to kick the ball to each other. + +They have fun with the ball. They laugh and shout. The sun is bright and the sky is blue. It is a perfect day. + +But then, a big boy comes to them. He is older and taller than Sara and Ben. He has a mean face and a loud voice. + +"That's my ball!" he says. "Give it to me!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They don't want to fight. They don't want to lose the ball. + +"Please, can we share?" Sara asks. "We can play together." + +The big boy shakes his head. He grabs the ball from Sara's hands. He pushes her away. Sara falls to the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +Ben is angry. He wants to help Sara. He offers his hand to her. He helps her stand up. + +"Are you okay?" he asks. + +Sara nods. She wipes her tears. She hugs Ben. + +"Thank you," she says. + +The big boy runs away with the ball. He does not look happy. He does not have any friends. + +Sara and Ben do not need the ball. They have each other. They go back to the swing and the slide. They play and smile. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They opened the box and saw many shiny things inside. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. She picked up a necklace with a blue stone. "This is so pretty!" + +Tom nodded. He saw a ring with a red stone. He put it on his finger. "This is so cool!" + +They tried on more things from the box. They felt happy and rich. They did not see the man who was hiding behind the tree. He was watching them with a mean smile. + +The man had stolen the box from a shop. He wanted to sell the things for money. But he had to run away when the police came. He left the box in the park. He hoped to come back later and get it. + +But now he saw the children playing with his things. He was angry and greedy. He decided to take them back. He walked out from behind the tree and shouted at Lily and Tom. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my things! They are mine, not yours!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know the man. They did not know he was a bad man. They thought they had found the things by chance. They did not want to give them back. + +"No, they are ours! We found them first!" Tom said. + +The man reached out his hand to grab the necklace from Lily. Lily pulled it away. She cried out loud. + +"Help! Help! He is trying to hurt us!" + +Some people in the park heard Lily's cry. They saw the man and the children. They ran over to help. They asked the man what he was doing. The man lied. He said he was the owner of the shop and the children had stolen his things. + +But the people did not believe him. They saw his dirty clothes and his mean face. They saw the fear in Lily and Tom's eyes. They called the police. The police came and arrested the man. They took him away. + +Lily and Tom were safe. They were also sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They gave back the things to the police. The police thanked them and told them the truth. The things were not theirs. They belonged to someone else. They had to be careful and honest. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson. They hugged each other and said sorry. They were still best friends. They went home with their toys. They did not want to play with shiny things anymore. They seemed troubled, but they were also glad. They knew the truth. And the truth made them free. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. It was almost dark and they could see the shadows of the trees and the flowers. Lily was the seeker and she counted to ten. Then she opened her eyes and looked around. + +"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I will find you!" + +She walked around the garden, looking behind the bushes and the rocks. She saw a big shadow under the swing. She thought it was Ben. She ran towards it and lifted the swing. But it was not Ben. It was a big, furry cat. The cat hissed and ran away. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the cat. She wanted to find Ben. She heard a giggle from the other side of the garden. She followed the sound and saw a small shadow behind the fence. She smiled and tiptoed towards it. + +"Got you, Ben!" she shouted and grabbed the shadow. But it was not Ben. It was a small, fluffy rabbit. The rabbit squeaked and jumped away. + +Lily was confused. She did not like the rabbit. She wanted to find Ben. She heard a whisper from behind the tree. She turned around and saw a pair of bright eyes. + +"Psst, Lily, it's me, Ben!" the whisper said. "You found me!" + +Lily was happy. She liked Ben. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"Yay, I found you, Ben!" she said. "You are a good hider!" + +Ben was happy too. He liked Lily. He hugged her back. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good seeker!" he said. "Do you want to play again?" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to play again. They let go of each other and smiled. + +"Okay, Ben. You count and I hide!" she said. + +"Okay, Lily. I count and you hide!" he said. + +They laughed and ran to their spots. They played hide and seek until it was too dark to see. Then they went inside and had a gentle kiss goodnight. They were the best of friends. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big castle. It was made of wood and cardboard. It had windows and doors and flags. + +"Wow, look at the castle!" Lily said. "Can we play in it?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom said. They ran to the castle and opened the door. Inside, they saw a hairy monster. It had big eyes and teeth and claws. It roared at them. + +"AAAAH!" Lily and Tom screamed. They ran out of the castle. They were very scared. + +"I hate the castle!" Lily said. "It has a hairy monster!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "Let's never go there again!" + +They hugged each other and went to play on the swings. They forgot about the castle and the hairy monster. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with scissors. They liked to cut paper and make shapes. But they did not listen to Mom, who told them to be careful and not cut themselves. + +"Look, I made a star!" Lily said, holding up her paper. + +"That's not a star, that's an ugly blob!" Tom said, snatching the paper from her. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily said, reaching for the paper. + +"No, it's mine now!" Tom said, holding the paper away from her. + +They pulled and tugged on the paper, until it ripped. Then, Tom's scissors slipped and cut Lily's finger. Lily screamed and dropped the scissors. Blood came out of her finger and stained the paper. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, holding her finger. + +Mom heard the scream and ran to the room. She saw the blood and the scissors and the paper. She was very angry and scared. + +"What did you do?" Mom yelled at Tom. "You hurt your sister! You could have prevented this if you listened to me and played nicely!" + +She took Lily to the bathroom and wrapped her finger with a bandage. She told Tom to stay in his room and think about what he did. She said he was in big trouble and he could not play with scissors anymore. + +Tom felt bad and sorry. He wished he did not cut Lily's finger. He wished he did not say her star was ugly. He wished he could say sorry to Lily and Mom. But he could not. He was alone in his room, with no scissors, no paper, and no fun. He was very sad. The end. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They enjoy the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They see a big wire fence around a new building. They are curious. They want to see what is inside. + +They find a hole in the wire fence. They crawl through it. They see a lot of machines and tools. They look shiny and fun. They touch them and move them. They do not know they are dangerous. + +A loud noise makes them jump. A big truck is coming. It has a big metal arm. It is going to knock down the building. The driver does not see Lily and Tom. They are scared. They try to run back to the hole in the wire fence. + +But they are too late. The metal arm swings and hits the building. It makes a lot of dust and noise. It makes the machines and tools fall. Some of them fall on Lily and Tom. They are hurt. They cry. + +The driver hears them. He stops the truck. He gets out and runs to them. He sees them under the rubble. He is sorry. He calls for help. He tries to lift the machines and tools. But he cannot. They are too heavy. Lily and Tom are not fine. They are not moving. They are not playing. They are not enjoying. They are gone. +Lily and Sam love to listen to jazz music. They have a big radio in their room that plays jazz all day. Sometimes they dance and sing along, and sometimes they pretend to play instruments. + +One day, Lily finds a shiny trumpet in the closet. She picks it up and blows into it. It makes a loud noise that sounds like a duck. She laughs and shows it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, I have a trumpet! It is like the jazz music!" she says. + +Sam smiles and points to a guitar on the shelf. He takes it and strums the strings. It makes a soft noise that sounds like a cat. He nods and says, "I have a guitar! It is like the jazz music too!" + +They decide to play jazz together. They take turns making noises with their instruments. They have fun and make each other laugh. + +But then, their mom comes into the room. She looks surprised and a little angry. She points to the trumpet and the guitar and says, "Where did you get these? These are not yours! These are daddy's! He needs them for his work! You should not touch them without asking!" + +Lily and Sam feel bad. They did not know they were daddy's instruments. They did not mean to make mom angry. They put the trumpet and the guitar back where they found them. They look at mom and say, "We are sorry, mom. We like jazz music. We wanted to play jazz. We did not know." + +Mom sighs and hugs them. She says, "I know, my loves. I know you like jazz music. And I know you are honest. But you have to be careful with other people's things. Daddy loves his instruments. He plays them for money. He would be sad if they were broken or lost. Next time, you have to ask before you touch them, okay?" + +Lily and Sam nod and say, "Okay, mom. We will ask next time. We love you. We love daddy. We love jazz music." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too. I love daddy. I love jazz music. How about we listen to some jazz together? Maybe daddy can teach you how to play his instruments someday." + +They all go to the radio and turn it on. They listen to some jazz music. They dance and sing along. They are happy. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the garden. They had a small pool and a faucet. They filled the pool with water and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. + +One day, the faucet stopped working. No water came out. Tim and Mia were sad. They wanted to play in the pool. They asked their dad to fix the faucet. He said he would try. + +He got some tools and opened the faucet. He saw a problem. He worked hard to improve it. He fixed the faucet and turned it on. Water came out again. Tim and Mia were happy. They thanked their dad and ran to the pool. + +But they saw something else. A fierce cat was drinking from the pool. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry. It hissed at Tim and Mia. They were scared. They did not want to play with the cat. + +They called their dad. He came and saw the cat. He shooed it away. He said it was a stray cat. He said it was thirsty and hungry. He said they should be kind to animals. + +He got some food and water and put them in a bowl. He placed the bowl near the fence. He said maybe the cat would come back and eat and drink. He said maybe the cat would improve and be less fierce. + +Tim and Mia nodded. They understood. They hoped the cat would be happy. They went back to the pool. They played and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to collect stamps. They had a big book where they put their stamps with glue. They liked to look at the stamps and learn about different places and animals. + +One day, they went to the post office with their mom. They saw a big poster with a picture of a very old stamp. The poster said: "This is the most valuable stamp in the world. It is worth a lot of money. It is amazing!" + +Ben and Lily were curious. They asked their mom: "What is valuable? What is money?" + +Their mom explained: "Valuable means something is very important or special. Money is what we use to buy things we need or want. This stamp is valuable because it is very old and rare. There is only one like it in the world. It is amazing because it has a picture of a bird that does not exist anymore." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood a little bit. They looked at their own stamps and wondered if they were valuable too. They asked their mom: "Are our stamps valuable? Are they amazing?" + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said: "Your stamps are valuable to you because you like them and you take care of them. They are amazing because they show you different things and make you happy. They are not worth a lot of money, but they are worth a lot of love." +Lila and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rock. It is gray and round and smooth. + +"Let's climb the rock!" says Max. He runs to the rock and tries to get on top. He slips and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lila runs to Max. She hugs him and says, "Don't cry, Max. I will help you." She takes a band-aid from her pocket and puts it on his knee. She kisses his cheek and says, "There, you are better now." + +Max smiles and says, "Thank you, Lila. You are very kind. And you have pretty hair. It is long and brown and soft." + +Lila blushes and says, "Thank you, Max. You are very charming. And you have strong arms. You can lift me up." + +Max lifts Lila up and puts her on the rock. They sit on the rock and look at the sky. They see birds and clouds and a rainbow. They hold hands and giggle. They are happy. They are friends. +Timmy was bored at home. He did not want to play with his toys or watch TV. He wanted to go outside and see new things. He saw his mom reading a magazine on the couch. She looked pale and tired. She had a cold and needed to rest. + +"Mom, can I go outside?" Timmy asked. + +"No, Timmy, it's not safe. You have to stay inside with me. Maybe later we can go to the park together," Mom said. + +"But I want to go now!" Timmy whined. + +"Sorry, Timmy, but you have to listen to me. I know what's best for you," Mom said. + +Timmy was angry and sad. He did not like to listen to Mom. He thought she was mean and boring. He waited until Mom fell asleep on the couch. Then he put on his shoes and coat and sneaked out of the door. He wanted to wander and have fun. + +Timmy walked down the street. He saw many things he had never seen before. He saw cars and buses and bikes and people. He saw shops and signs and colors and sounds. He felt happy and curious. He wandered and wandered and wandered. + +But soon he realized he was lost. He did not know where he was or how to go back home. He felt scared and lonely. He wished he had stayed with Mom. He wished he had listened to Mom. He started to cry. + +A kind lady saw him crying. She asked him what was wrong. He told her he was lost and he wanted to find his mom. She looked at his coat and saw his name and address. She said she would help him. She called his mom and told her where he was. She waited with him until Mom came. + +Mom was very worried and angry. She hugged him and scolded him. She said he was very naughty and he could have been hurt. She said he should never wander away from home without her. She said he should always listen to her. She said she loved him and wanted him to be safe. + +Timmy felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry and he loved her too. He said he would never wander away again. He said he would always listen to her. He learned his lesson. He gave her the magazine he had found on the street. He said it was for her to feel better. Mom smiled and thanked him. She said it was very sweet of him. She said they would go to the park together when she was well. They went back home and cuddled on the couch. They were happy and grateful. +Tom and Jen are twins.

They hope the dog will not come back. +Lila was a daughter who liked to play with water. She had a big tub of water in the garden, and she put her dolls and toys in it. She made them swim and splash and have fun. She did not care that her clothes and hair got wet. + +Her mom saw her from the window and did not like it. She did not want Lila to catch a cold. She opened the door and called to her. "Lila, come inside now! You are all wet and it is getting cold. You need to get dry and warm." + +But Lila did not want to stop playing. She liked the water too much. She said to her mom, "No, mom, I want to play more. The water is nice and the dolls are happy. Please let me stay." + +Her mom did not listen. She walked to the garden and took Lila by the hand. She urged her to come inside. She said, "Lila, you have to listen to me. I know you like the water, but you can play with it another day. Right now, you need to get dry and change your clothes. You can play with your dry toys inside. Come on, let's go." + +Lila did not like it. She cried and kicked and tried to get away.

She had to go with her mom. She was still crying and unhappy. She did not understand why her mom did not let her play with the water. She did not know that her mom was right and that she was wrong.

She did not like the dry. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bikes in the park. Tom has a red bike and Lily has a blue bike. They have fun riding on the paths and the grass. + +One day, they see a new bike in the park. It is yellow and has a basket with flowers. It also has a bell that makes a loud sound. Tom and Lily think the bike is adorable. They want to try it. + +They go to the bike and look at it. They see a tag on the basket. It says: "This bike belongs to Anna. She is sick today. You can use her bike if you want. Please be careful and put it back when you are done." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say thank you to Anna, even though she is not there. They decide to take turns riding the yellow bike. Tom goes first. He pedals fast and rings the bell. He feels like he is flying. + +Then he stops and offers the bike to Lily. He says: "Your turn, Lily. The bike is very nice. You will like it." + +Lily smiles and takes the bike. She pedals slowly and looks at the flowers.

It made a mess. + +Then the deer ran away. It was fast and quiet. It vanished in the woods. It was gone. Tom and Anna came out of their hiding place. They looked at the broken axe and the hut.

She wanted to catch it and keep it in a jar. + +She ran after the butterfly and tried to grab it with her hands. But the butterfly was fast and flew away. Lila followed it until she reached a big rock. She climbed on the rock and reached out her hand again. + +"Please, butterfly, come to me. You are so pretty. I want to be your friend," she said. + +But the butterfly did not listen. It flew higher and higher in the sky. Lila felt sad and angry. She threw a stone at the butterfly, hoping to make it fall.

Lila heard their cries and felt sorry. She realized she had done a bad thing. + +She got down from the rock and ran to the nest. She picked up the baby birds and tried to comfort them. She said, "I'm sorry, baby birds. I did not mean to hurt you. I was silly and selfish. I wanted the butterfly for myself. But I see now that the butterfly is free and happy in the sky. And you belong to your mama and papa in the tree. I will help you go back to your home." + +She looked around and saw the mama and papa bird flying near the tree. They were worried and angry.

I want to help you. I want to give you back your babies. Please, let me." + +The birds stopped and looked at her. They saw the tears in her eyes and the nest in her hand. They realized she was telling the truth. They calmed down and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are brave and kind. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. You are a good friend to the birds and the butterfly. Please, put our babies back in the tree. We will make a new nest for them." + +Lila nodded and smiled. She climbed on the rock again and reached the tree. She put the baby birds back in the tree and said, "Bye, bye, baby birds. I hope you grow up strong and happy. And I'm sorry again for breaking your nest." + +The birds thanked her again and said, "Bye, bye, little girl. We hope you have fun in the garden. And remember, the butterfly is not yours to keep. It is yours to admire and respect." + +Lila waved at them and said, "I will, I will. Thank you, birds. Thank you, butterfly." + +She jumped down from the rock and ran back to her house. She felt happy and proud. She had learned a lesson. She had learned to love and not to hurt. She had learned to let go and not to hold. She had learned to rock and not to throw. +Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Sara liked the fountain. She said, "Look, Mom, the fountain is so pretty!" + +Ben did not like the fountain. He said, "The fountain is broken. The water should not go up and down. It should stay in the pool." + +Mom said, "The fountain is not broken, Ben. The water goes up and down because of a pump. It makes the fountain fun and beautiful." + +Sara and Ben went closer to the fountain. They saw some coins in the pool. Sara said, "Why are there coins in the pool, Mom?" + +Mom said, "Some people throw coins in the pool and make a wish. They hope their wish will come true." + +Sara and Ben wanted to make a wish too. They asked Mom for some coins. Mom gave them each a coin. Sara and Ben threw their coins in the pool and closed their eyes. + +Sara wished for a new doll. Ben wished for a new car. They opened their eyes and smiled. + +Mom said, "What did you wish for, Sara and Ben?" + +Sara and Ben did not tell Mom. They said, "It is a secret, Mom. If we tell, our wish will not come true." + +Mom said, "Okay, I understand. I hope your wish will come true. You are very good children. I am proud of you." + +Mom hugged Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben hugged Mom. They were happy. They applauded the fountain and said, "Thank you, fountain, for letting us make a wish!" +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, run, and slide. One day, they saw a big hill with a long slide. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Max said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Max!" Lily said. "But be careful. It is very high." + +They climbed the hill and waited for their turn. They saw other kids slide down fast and scream. They felt excited and scared. + +When it was their turn, Max went first. He sat on the slide and pushed himself. He slid down very fast. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted. He reached the bottom and jumped off. + +"That was awesome!" he said. "Come on, Lily!" + +Lily followed him. She sat on the slide and held the sides. She slid down slowly. She felt nervous and dizzy. She closed her eyes and hoped it would end soon. She reached the bottom and stumbled off. + +"That was scary!" she said. "I don't like it." + +Max hugged her and said, "It's OK, Lily. You did it. You are brave." + +They looked around and saw something shiny under the slide. They walked over and picked it up. It was a necklace with a big jewel. It sparkled and glowed. + +"Wow!" Max said. "What is this?" + +"It's a treasure!" Lily said. "Someone left it here. Maybe it belongs to a princess or a pirate." + +"Or maybe it's ours now!" Max said. "We can keep it and be wealthy. We can buy ice cream and toys and books." + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds nice. But maybe we should share it with someone who needs it more. Maybe we can give it to the lady who works at the shelter. She helps people who are poor and hungry." + +Max thought for a moment and said, "You are right, Lily. That is a better idea. You are kind and generous." + +They put the necklace in their pocket and held hands. They walked to the shelter and gave the treasure to the lady. She thanked them and said, "You are very sweet and thoughtful. You have made someone very happy today." + +Lily and Max felt proud and happy. They hugged each other and said, "We are best friends. We have each other. That is the best treasure of all." +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers, birds and bugs. She liked to watch them and learn their names. One day, she saw a line of ants on the ground. They were carrying tiny bits of food to their home. + +"Hello, ants!" Lily said. "What are you doing?" + +The ants did not answer. They were busy and did not have time to talk. Lily was curious. She wanted to see where the ants lived. She followed them to a small hole in the dirt. She saw many more ants inside. + +"Wow, you have a big family!" Lily said. "Can I play with you?" + +The ants did not like Lily. They thought she was noisy and rude. They wanted her to leave them alone. They started to bite her fingers and toes. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "Why are you hurting me?" + +The ants did not stop. They wanted to protect their home. Lily ran away. She was sad and scared. She went to find her mom. + +"Mom, the ants bit me!" Lily said. "They were mean to me!" + +Mom hugged Lily and kissed her wounds. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The ants were not mean. They were scared. You were too big and loud for them. You should not bother them. They have their own life and work. You should respect them and leave them alone." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not know. I will not bother the ants again. I will watch them from far away." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Lily. You are a smart and kind girl. You can learn a lot from the ants. They are little, but they are strong and hardworking. They help each other and share their food. They are good friends. You can be a good friend too, if you are polite and gentle." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love the ants too, in a different way." + +Mom and Lily hugged. They went back to the garden. They watched the ants and the other creatures. They enjoyed the beauty of nature. They were happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had a big toy boat that they could sit in and pretend to sail. One day, they decided to go to the port, where they could see real boats and ships. They asked their mom to take them there. + +"Can we go to the port, mom?" Tom said. + +"Yes, we can go to the port, but you have to be careful. The port is very busy and noisy, and some of the boats are very big and fast. You have to stay close to me and hold my hand, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, mom. We will be careful," Sam said. + +They got in the car and drove to the port. They saw many boats and ships of different colors and sizes. Some were small and cute, like their toy boat. Some were big and strong, like the ones they saw on TV. Some were loud and smoky, like the ones that carried cars and trucks. They were amazed by all the sights and sounds. + +"Look, Tom, that boat has a flag with a star on it. Do you know what that means?" Sam said. + +"No, I don't. Do you?" Tom said. + +"I think it means that the boat is from another place, far away. Maybe they came to visit us, or to trade something. Maybe they have something we don't have, or we have something they don't have," Sam said. + +"Wow, that's cool. I wonder what they have. Maybe they have candy, or toys, or books, or animals," Tom said. + +They walked along the port, looking at the boats and ships. They saw people working, loading and unloading things, talking and laughing. They saw seagulls flying and fish swimming. They smelled the salt and the smoke. They felt the wind and the sun. They were having a lot of fun. + +Then, they saw a boat that was different from the others. It was round and colorful, like a big ball. It had windows and doors, like a house. It had a sign that said "Fun House". They were curious about it. + +"Mom, can we go to that boat? It looks like fun," Tom said. + +"Sure, we can go to that boat, but only for a little while. It's almost time to go home," Mom said. + +They went to the boat and paid a ticket. They entered the fun house. Inside, they saw many things that made them laugh and scream. They saw mirrors that made them look funny, like big or small, fat or thin, tall or short. They saw lights that changed colors, like a rainbow. They saw stairs that moved, like a slide. They saw walls that spun, like a wheel. They saw floors that tilted, like a seesaw. They had a lot of fun. + +But after a while, they started to feel dizzy. They felt like they were spinning and tilting, even when they were not. They felt like they were going to fall, even when they were not. They felt like they were going to throw up, even when they were not. They did not have fun anymore. + +"Mom, I don't feel good. I want to go home," Tom said. + +"Me too, mom. I don't feel good. I want to go home," Sam said. + +"Okay, boys, let's go home. You had enough fun for today. Maybe you should not go to the fun house again. It's too much for you," Mom said. + +They left the fun house and went back to the car. They felt better when they were out of the boat. They thanked their mom for taking them to the port. They learned that some boats are fun, and some boats are not. They decided to stick to their toy boat, and their own imagination. +Sara was a compassionate girl who liked to help others. She had a big dream of becoming a doctor when she grew up. She wanted to make people feel better and happy. Every night, she would read a book about doctors and imagine herself in a white coat and a stethoscope. + +One day, she saw a boy crying on the playground. He had fallen from the swing and hurt his knee. Sara ran to him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" + +The boy sniffled and showed her his knee. It was bleeding and dirty. Sara felt sorry for him and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I want to be a doctor, you know. I have a band-aid and a tissue in my backpack. Come with me." + +She took the boy to a bench and cleaned his wound with the tissue. Then she put the band-aid on his knee and gave him a hug. The boy smiled and thanked her. He said, "You're very kind and brave. You'll be a great doctor someday. What's your name?" + +Sara told him her name and asked him his. He said, "I'm Tom. I like to play with cars and planes. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I like to play with dolls and books. Do you want to see my book about doctors?" + +Tom said, "Sure, I'd love to. Maybe you can teach me something." + +They went to Sara's backpack and opened the book. They saw a picture of a doctor holding a big sun. Sara said, "Look, this is a doctor who helps people in Africa. He works under the sun and gives them medicine and water. He's very compassionate, like you." + +Tom said, "Wow, he's amazing. Maybe I can be a doctor too, and help people like him. Or maybe I can be a pilot and fly him to Africa. That would be cool." + +Sara said, "Yes, that would be cool. We can both follow our dreams and help others. But first, we have to learn a lot and work hard. And we have to be good friends and support each other." + +Tom said, "I agree. You're my best friend, Sara. Thank you for helping me today." + +Sara said, "You're welcome, Tom. Thank you for being my friend. Let's play together and have fun." + +They hugged each other and played until the sun went down. They were happy and hopeful. They had big dreams and compassionate hearts. +Anna liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a doll, a teddy bear, a ball and a teaspoon. She used the teaspoon to dig holes and make cakes with mud and leaves. She pretended that the teaspoon was a magic wand that could do anything. + +One day, she saw a small, shiny thing in the mud. She used her teaspoon to scoop it out. It was a ring with a blue stone. It sparkled in the sun. Anna thought it was very pretty and mysterious. She wondered who it belonged to and how it got there. + +She put the ring on her finger and said, "Teaspoon, teaspoon, make a wish come true." She wished that she could have a tea party with her toys and some real cake and juice. She closed her eyes and waited. + +When she opened them, she saw a table with a tablecloth, plates, cups and a big cake. There was also a jug of juice and a bowl of sugar. She heard a voice say, "Welcome, Anna, to your tea party. I hope you enjoy it." + +She looked around and saw a fairy sitting on a flower. She had wings, a dress and a crown. She smiled and waved at Anna. She said, "I am the fairy of the ring. I saw you find it and I wanted to thank you. You can keep the ring and make one wish every day. But you have to be kind and share with others." + +Anna was very happy and surprised. She thanked the fairy and invited her to join the tea party. She also invited her toys and gave them each a slice of cake and a cup of juice. She used her teaspoon to stir the sugar. She had a lot of fun and made new friends. She decided that the teaspoon was her favorite toy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the yard. The yard has a big tree. The tree is ancient. It has many leaves and branches. + +One morning, Tom and Lily wake up early. They want to see the sun rise. They put on their coats and shoes. They run to the yard. They climb the tree. They sit on a branch. They see the sky turn pink and orange. + +They hear a noise. It is a bird. The bird is on the same branch. The bird is ancient too. It has many feathers and colors. It sings a song. Tom and Lily smile. They say hello to the bird. The bird says hello back. They make a new friend. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many clothes inside. They want to try them on. + +Tom picks a red hat and a blue coat. He puts them on and says, "Look at me! I am a fireman!" Sam picks a green shirt and a yellow pants. He puts them on and says, "Look at me! I am a farmer!" + +They run around the yard and pretend to be fireman and farmer. They have fun. But then, they see a piece of cloth in the box. It is shiny and sparkly. It looks like a cape. + +Tom and Sam both want the cape. They grab it and pull it. They say, "It is mine! Give it to me!" They do not share. They fight. + +The cape is weak. It rips in half. Tom and Sam fall down. They hurt themselves. They cry. They have no cape. They have no fun. They are sad. +Ben is a boy who likes to test things. He likes to test how fast he can run, how high he can jump, how loud he can shout. He thinks testing is fun and he does not care if he makes a mess or a noise. + +One day, he sees a big red button on a wall. He wonders what it does. He wants to test it. He does not see the sign that says "Do not touch". He does not hear his mom who says "Stop, Ben, that is dangerous". He pushes the button. + +A loud siren goes off. It hurts Ben's ears. He covers them with his hands. He feels scared. He sees his mom run to him. She looks angry and worried. She turns off the button. She hugs him and says "Are you okay, Ben? That was a fire alarm. You should not have pushed it. You could have deafened yourself and others. You could have caused a lot of trouble. You need to be careful and listen to me when I tell you something." + +Ben feels sorry. He says "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I just wanted to test it. I did not see the sign. I did not hear you. I will not do it again. I will be more careful and listen to you." + +Mom says "I'm glad you are sorry, Ben. I love you. But you need to learn that testing is not always fun. Sometimes it can be dangerous or harmful. You need to use your sight and your ears to see and hear what is around you. You need to follow the rules and respect others. You need to think before you act. That is how you can be safe and smart." + +Ben nods. He says "I understand, mom. I love you too. I will try to be safe and smart. Can we go home now?" + +Mom says "Yes, Ben. We can go home now. But first, let's say sorry to the people who work here. They were very scared by the siren. They thought there was a fire. They need to know you are sorry too." + +Ben says "Okay, mom. I will say sorry to them. I hope they are not too mad at me." + +Mom says "They will forgive you, Ben. But they will also remember what you did. So will I. So will you. Let this be a lesson for you, Ben. Testing is not always fun." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Lily's big brother Tom came into her room. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her. "This is my doll now," he said. "She can be a soldier in my army." + +Lily was angry. "No, Tom, give her back!" she shouted. "She is my doll, not yours. You have your own toys." + +Tom laughed. "She is not a real doll. She is a toy. I can do what I want with her. Watch this." He pulled Anna's hair and threw her on the floor. + +Lily cried. She ran to Anna and picked her up. She hugged her and checked if she was fine. Anna's dress was dirty and her hair was messy, but she was not broken. Lily was glad. + +She ran to her mom and told her what Tom did. Mom was not happy. She called Tom and scolded him. "Tom, you should not take Lily's doll without asking. You should not hurt her doll either. That is not nice. You have to say sorry to Lily and give her doll back." + +Tom was sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He said sorry to Lily and gave her doll back. He also helped her clean Anna's dress and hair. Lily forgave him. She said thank you and gave him a hug. They played together with their own toys. Mom was proud of them. She said they were fine children. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to ride fast and do tricks. They saw a big road with many cars and trucks. They wanted to cross the road and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks fun over there!" + +"No, Tom, we can't!" Lily said. "The road is dangerous. Mom and dad told us to stay away from the road. We need a license to ride on the road. We don't have a license. We are too small." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He was brave and curious. He said, "I don't care. I want to go. You are scared. I am not scared. Watch me!" He rode his bike to the edge of the road. He looked left and right. He did not see any cars or trucks. He thought it was safe. He started to cross the road. + +Lily was worried. She called, "Tom, come back! It's not safe! Please, come back!" She saw a big truck coming fast from the corner. The truck did not see Tom. The truck was loud and scary. Lily screamed, "Tom, look out! A truck!" + +Tom heard Lily's scream. He turned his head. He saw the truck. He was scared. He tried to stop his bike. He tried to go back. But it was too late. The truck hit him. He flew off his bike. He landed on the ground. He was hurt. He cried. + +Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him. She cried too. She called, "Help! Help! Someone help us!" She hoped someone would hear her. She hoped Tom would be okay. She wished she had stopped him. She wished he had listened to her. She learned a lesson. The road was dangerous. She needed a license to ride on the road. She did not have a license. She was too small. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus on the road. The bus is yellow and has many windows. + +"Look, a bus!" Anna says. "Where is it going?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe to the zoo, or the beach, or the city." + +They are curious. They want to see the bus up close. They run after the bus, but they are too slow. The bus is faster. It goes away. + +"Wait, bus, wait!" Anna and Ben shout. But the bus does not hear them. + +They are sad. They stop running. They sit on the grass. They see some flowers. The flowers are pink and purple and white. They are pretty. They smell good. + +"Look, flowers!" Ben says. "They are blooming. They are happy." + +"Yes, they are," Anna says. "They are beautiful. They make me happy, too." + +They pick some flowers. They make a crown for Anna and a necklace for Ben. They smile. They forget about the bus. They play with the flowers. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a big red bus. The bus is full of children. They are going on a visit. + +"Wow, look at the bus!" Lily says. "Where are they going?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe to the zoo, or the museum, or the farm." + +Lily and Ben admire the bus. They wish they could go on a visit too. They are envious of the children on the bus. + +"Hey, do you want to play with us?" a girl on the bus asks. She opens the window and smiles at Lily and Ben. + +"Really?" Lily says. "Can we?" + +"Sure, why not?" the girl says. "We have some extra seats. Come on, hurry up!" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They run to the bus and climb on board. They thank the girl and find a seat. They wave goodbye to the park and look forward to their visit. + +"Where are we going?" Lily asks. + +"You'll see," the girl says. "It's a surprise. But I think you'll like it. It's very fun and exciting." + +Lily and Ben are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They hold hands and smile. They are not envious anymore. They are glad they met the girl on the bus. +Ben was a boy who liked to blink a lot. He blinked when he was happy, when he was sad, when he was bored, and when he was curious. He blinked so much that his eyes got tired and sore. + +One day, he went to the farm with his mom and dad. He saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. He blinked at them all, and they blinked back. He thought they were his friends. + +But when he came to the sheep, he blinked too much. He blinked so fast and so hard that he scared the sheep. They ran away from him, and some of them even baaed angrily. Ben felt sad and confused. He did not understand why the sheep did not like him. + +His mom and dad saw what happened, and they came to him. They hugged him and explained that blinking too much can make people and animals think that he is not nice or that he wants to hurt them. They told him that blinking is good, but he should do it only when he needs to, and not all the time. They said that he should also smile and talk to the animals, and show them that he is friendly and kind. + +Ben listened to his mom and dad, and he learned his lesson. He decided to blink less and smile more. He went back to the sheep, and he said sorry to them. He smiled and stroked their wool, and he gave them some grass to eat. The sheep forgave him, and they baaed happily. They let him play with them, and they became his friends. + +Ben was happy, and he thanked his mom and dad. He realized that blinking too much can make him miss a lot of things, and that he should also use his other ways of showing his feelings. He learned that being nice and respectful to others is more important than blinking. He also learned that the sheep's wool was soft and warm, and that their baaing was not bitter, but sweet. +Jill liked to raise her hand in class. She always had something to say or ask. She wanted to learn new things and share her ideas. She was a smart and curious girl. + +One day, the teacher asked the class to bring a brush to school. She said they would do a fun art project with paint and paper. Jill was excited. She loved to draw and color. She had a big brush at home that she used to make powerful strokes on her canvas. She thought it would be perfect for the project. + +The next day, Jill brought her brush to school. She put it on her desk and waited for the teacher to start the lesson. She looked around and saw that the other kids had smaller brushes. Some of them were soft and fluffy, some of them were thin and pointy. Jill felt proud of her brush. She thought it was the best one. + +The teacher told the class to take their brushes and dip them in the paint. She said they would make shapes and patterns on the paper. She showed them how to make circles, squares, triangles, and stars. She said they could use any colors they liked. + +Jill raised her hand. She wanted to ask the teacher a question. She said, "Teacher, can I use my brush to make something else? I want to make a big lion. It is my favorite animal. It is powerful and brave." + +The teacher smiled and said, "Of course, Jill. You can use your brush to make anything you want. It is your art. It is your expression. Just be careful not to use too much paint or make a mess." + +Jill nodded and thanked the teacher. She dipped her brush in the yellow paint and started to make a big lion on her paper. She used her brush to make a round head, a long mane, a big body, and a fluffy tail. She added some brown spots and a black nose and eyes. She was happy with her lion. She thought it looked powerful and beautiful. + +She raised her hand again. She wanted to show the teacher and the class her lion. She said, "Teacher, look at my lion. I made it with my brush. Do you like it?" + +The teacher and the class looked at Jill's lion. They were amazed. They said, "Wow, Jill. Your lion is amazing. You used your brush very well. You are a talented artist." + +Jill felt proud and happy. She smiled and said, "Thank you. I like my lion too. I like my brush. It is my favorite tool." +It was a cold and rainy day. Tom did not want to go outside. He wanted to stay inside and play with his toys. But his mom said he had to go to the store with her. She said they needed to buy some food and milk. + +Tom put on his coat and his boots. His coat was blue and warm, but it was also wet and heavy. His boots were yellow and rubber, but they were also muddy and slippery. Tom felt miserable. He did not like the rain and the cold. + +They walked to the store. Tom held his mom's hand. He saw some puddles on the way. He wanted to jump in them and splash. But his mom said no. She said he would get wet and sick. Tom felt more miserable. He did not like the rules and the no. + +They got to the store. Tom saw some candy and toys. He wanted to buy some and play with them. But his mom said no. She said they only had money for food and milk. Tom felt even more miserable. He did not like the candy and the toys. + +They walked back home. Tom was tired and hungry. He wanted to eat and nap. But his mom said they had to start dinner first. She said they had to help and cook. Tom felt the most miserable. He did not like the dinner and the cook. + +He wished it was a sunny and happy day. He wished he could stay inside and play with his toys. He wished his mom would say yes. He wished he was not miserable. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with tools. They had a big box of tools that their dad gave them. They had hammers, nails, saws, screws and more. They liked to make things with the tools, like houses, cars and boats. + +One day, they decided to make a big boat with the tools. They found some wood and some rope and started to work. They used the saw to cut the wood and the hammer to nail it together. They used the rope to make a sail and a mast. They were very proud of their boat. + +They wanted to try their boat in the water. They dragged their boat to the pond near their house. They put their boat in the water and climbed inside. They used a stick to push their boat away from the shore. They were having fun in their boat. + +But then, something terrible happened. Their boat started to leak. Water came in through the holes where they nailed the wood. Their boat started to sink. They were scared and wet. They cried for help. + +Their dad heard their cries and ran to the pond. He saw his sons in the water and their boat going down. He jumped in the water and swam to them. He grabbed them and pulled them to the shore. He was angry and worried. + +He yelled at them, "What were you thinking? You could have drowned! You used my tools without asking! You made a mess of the wood and the rope! You are in big trouble!" + +Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They hugged their dad and said, "We are sorry, dad. We just wanted to make a boat. We didn't mean to be naughty. Please don't be mad at us." + +Their dad sighed and hugged them back. He said, "I'm glad you are safe, but you have to be careful. Tools are not toys. You have to ask me before you use them. And you have to learn how to make things properly. You have to clean up the mess you made. And you have to stay away from the pond. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, dad. We will do better next time. We love you, dad." + +Their dad said, "I love you too, boys. But you are still in trouble. Come on, let's go home." He took them by the hand and walked them home. He threw their boat in the trash. It was a bad day for Tim and Sam. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a big dog named Rex. Rex is brown and furry. He likes to run and bark. + +One day, Mom is cooking steak for dinner. She puts the steak on a plate and goes to get some salad. Tim and Sam see the steak. They are hungry. They want to taste the steak. + +"Let's take the steak and share it," Tim says. + +"OK, but we have to be quick," Sam says. + +They grab the plate and run to the yard. Rex sees them and follows them. He smells the steak. He wants the steak too. + +"Hey, stop! That's our steak!" Tim shouts. + +But Rex is faster. He jumps and snatches the steak from the plate. He runs away with the steak in his mouth. + +Tim and Sam chase him. They are angry and sad. They want their steak back. + +But Rex is clever. He hides behind a bush. He eats the steak. He licks his lips. He is happy and full. + +Tim and Sam find him. They see the empty plate and the dirty steak bones. They are shocked and disappointed. + +"Bad dog! You ate our steak!" Sam cries. + +"Sorry, boys. I didn't know it was yours," Rex says. He wags his tail. He wants to play. + +But Tim and Sam are not in the mood to play. They go back to the house. They hope Mom has some more steak. They hope Rex doesn't happen to see it. +Ben and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the sun. They had a jolly time running, jumping and laughing. But they also had to listen to their mom and dad. Mom and dad told them to be back home before dark. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. They forgot about mom and dad's rule. They ran up the hill and left their bikes on the ground. They did not see the sun going down. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a lake. It was shiny and blue. They wanted to swim in it. They took off their clothes and jumped in the water. They splashed and giggled. They did not hear mom and dad calling their names. + +Mom and dad were worried. They could not find Ben and Lily. They looked everywhere. They saw their bikes on the ground. They followed their tracks to the hill. They climbed the hill and saw the lake. They saw Ben and Lily in the water. They were angry and scared. + +"Ben! Lily! Get out of the water right now!" mom shouted. + +Ben and Lily heard mom's voice. They were shocked. They got out of the water and put on their clothes. They ran to mom and dad. They said they were sorry. They said they lost track of time. They said they just wanted to have fun. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They said Ben and Lily were naughty. They said they broke their rule. They said they could have been hurt or lost. They said they had to punish them. They said they had to go home and stay in their rooms. They said they could not play outside for a week. + +Ben and Lily cried. They did not want to be punished. They did not want to stay in their rooms. They did not want to miss the sun and the fun. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. They learned their lesson. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They pretend that the doll and the car are friends and go on adventures together. + +"Let's act like we are in the snow," Anna says. "We can use this wool blanket as the snow." + +"OK," Ben says. "But the wool is heavy. How will we move the car and the doll?" + +"We can make a path with our hands," Anna says. "Like this." She pushes the wool aside and makes a trail for the car and the doll. + +"Wow, that's fun," Ben says. He follows Anna and makes another trail. "Look, the car and the doll are happy in the snow." + +They play for a while, making snowmen, snowballs and snow angels with the wool. They laugh and giggle and have a good time. + +But then, their mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "You made a big mess with the wool. You have to clean it up." + +"Sorry, mom," Anna and Ben say. "We were acting like we were in the snow." + +"Well, you can act like you are in the snow outside, not inside," mom says. "Now, help me put the wool back in the closet." + +Anna and Ben help mom clean up the wool. They are sad that they have to stop playing, but they know they have to listen to mom. + +"Maybe tomorrow we can play in the real snow," Anna says. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But the wool was fun too." +Anna liked to play with her doll, Lily. She had made Lily a dress from a piece of cloth and some thread. She used a needle to make small stitches on the cloth. She was very careful not to hurt herself with the needle. + +One day, Anna's mom said, "Anna, we have to go to the store. Can you be a good girl and put away your toys?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I will be obedient." She picked up Lily and her needle and thread. She wanted to finish the dress before she left. + +She was so busy sewing that she did not hear her mom call her name. She did not see her mom come into her room. She did not notice her mom's hand reach for the needle. + +"Ouch!" her mom cried. She had pricked her finger on the needle. She dropped the needle and thread on the floor. She looked at her finger and saw a drop of blood. + +Anna was scared. She did not mean to hurt her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not hear you. Are you okay?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. It's just a small prick. It will heal soon. But you have to be more careful with the needle. It can be dangerous. Here, let me wrap your finger with a band-aid." + +She took a band-aid from her purse and put it on her finger. She kissed Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. You are a sweet girl. But next time, please listen to me when I call you. And put away the needle and thread when you are done. Okay?" + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. I'm sorry. I will listen to you. And I will put away the needle and thread. Okay." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Okay. Now, let's go to the store. Maybe we can find some buttons for Lily's dress. Do you like that?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I like that. Can I bring Lily with me?" + +Her mom said, "Of course. You can bring Lily with you. She is your best friend. And she has a beautiful dress. You are very good at making stitches." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. And Lily is the best doll." + +They held hands and walked to the car. Anna was happy. She had learned a lesson. She had made her mom proud. And she had a lovely doll. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pile of ice near the park. They ran to the ice and wanted to touch it. + +"Wow, it's so cold and shiny!" Lily said. + +"Let's make a snowman with it!" Tom said. + +They started to roll the ice and make a ball. But the ice was very hard and sharp. It hurt their hands and made them uncomfortable. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom complained. "This ice is not like snow at all. It's too rough and pointy." + +"I don't like it either," Lily agreed. "It makes my fingers red and sore." + +They decided to stop making the snowman and go back to the park. But when they turned around, they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and looked angry. + +"Uh-oh, what do we do?" Lily asked. + +"Run!" Tom said. + +They ran away from the dog, but the dog was faster. It chased them and tried to bite them. They were scared and screamed. + +"Help, help, help!" Tom and Lily cried. + +But then, they saw something that made them happy. It was their dad, who was coming to pick them up. He saw the dog and shouted at it. + +"Hey, get away from my kids!" he said. + +The dog heard his voice and stopped. It looked at him and ran away. Tom and Lily ran to their dad and hugged him. + +"Dad, dad, dad!" they said. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are okay, but we were very scared," Lily said. + +"That dog was mean and wanted to hurt us," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, that must have been terrible," he said. "But I'm glad you're safe. Come on, let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +They nodded and smiled. They were happy to see their dad and to leave the ice behind. They learned that ice was not fun to play with, and that dogs could be dangerous. They also learned that their dad was always there to protect them. They loved their dad very much. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. They have many toys in their room. But they are not happy today. They have to stay in their room because they are sick. They have a bad cough and a red nose. + +"Can we go outside?" Mia asks Ben. + +"No, we can't. Mom says we have to rest and drink water. We have a germ that can pass to other kids. We have to wait until the germ goes away." Ben says. + +"What is a germ?" Mia asks. + +"A germ is a tiny thing that makes you sick. You can't see it, but it is there. It can go from one person to another. That is why we have to stay in our room." Ben explains. + +Mia nods. She feels lonely. She misses her other friends. She wants to play with them in the park. She wants to swing and slide and run. + +"Ben, do you know what day it is today?" Mia asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at the calendar on the wall. He sees a big number. + +"It is the tenth day of the month. Why?" Ben asks. + +"Because it is my birthday today. Mom said she would make a cake and have a party. But now we can't have a party. We can't have any guests. We can't have any fun." Mia says. She feels sad. She starts to cry. + +Ben feels sorry for Mia. He wants to make her happy. He remembers that he has a present for her. He hid it under his bed. He gets up and takes out a small box. He gives it to Mia. + +"Happy birthday, Mia. This is for you. I hope you like it." Ben says. + +Mia wipes her tears. She smiles. She opens the box. She sees a shiny necklace with a heart. She loves it. She puts it on. + +"Thank you, Ben. This is the best present ever. You are the best friend ever." Mia says. + +Ben hugs Mia. They feel better. They are still sick, but they are not lonely. They have each other. They hope that the germ will go away soon. They hope that they can have a party later.

She feels hot. She does not want to play or eat. She only wants to lie in bed. Her mom comes to see her. She puts a hand on her forehead. + +"Anna, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink water. I will bring you some soup later. Do you want me to read you a story?" her mom asks. + +Anna nods. She loves when her mom reads to her. Her mom picks a book from the shelf. It is a book about a brave lion. Anna likes lions. They are big and strong. + +Her mom sits on the bed and opens the book. She reads in a soft voice. Anna listens and looks at the pictures. She forgets about her stomach and her fever. She feels warm and cozy. She smiles and hugs her teddy bear. She is happy. Reading makes her feel better. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to mail a letter to their grandma, who lived far away. They wrote "We love you, Grandma" and drew some pictures on a piece of paper. Then they put it in an envelope and walked to the mailbox. + +On the way, they saw a man selling ice-cream. They wanted to buy some, but they did not have any money. They asked the man if he could give them some ice-cream for free, but he said no. He said he needed money to buy more ice-cream and pay his bills. + +Lily and Ben felt sad, but they did not give up. They looked around and saw a lady who was carrying a lot of bags. She looked tired and needed help. Lily and Ben ran to her and offered to help her. They carried some of her bags and walked with her to her house. + +The lady was very happy and thanked them. She said they were very helpful and kind. She asked them if they wanted a reward. Lily and Ben said they did not need anything, but they would like some ice-cream. The lady smiled and said she had some ice-cream in her freezer. She invited them in and gave them each a big scoop of ice-cream. + +Lily and Ben enjoyed their ice-cream and thanked the lady. They said goodbye and continued their way to the mailbox. They mailed their letter to their grandma and felt proud of themselves. They learned that being helpful and generous can make them and others happy. They also learned that they can get what they want by working hard and not by begging. They went home and told their mom what they did. She hugged them and said she was very proud of them too. +Lily liked to pretend she was a farmer. She had a toy farm with animals and crops. She played with it every day in her room. She wanted to be a popular farmer who helped everyone. + +One day, she heard her mom say they were going to visit a real farm. Lily was very excited.

You must be a very popular farmer who helps everyone." + +Lily felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you. I like to pretend I'm a farmer. It's fun. Can I see your farm?" The farmer nodded and said, "Sure, Lily. Come with me. I'll show you around. Maybe you can help me with some chores." He took her hand and led her to his farm. + +Lily had a great time at the real farm. She learned a lot from the farmer and helped him feed the animals, water the plants, collect the eggs and milk the cows. She made friends with the other farmers and the children. She felt like a real farmer. She was a popular farmer who helped everyone. +One day, a boy named Tom and a girl named Anna went to play outside. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some big clouds in the sky, but they did not care. They wanted to have fun. + +"Look, Tom, I can step on this rock!" Anna said. She climbed on a big rock and jumped down. "Can you do it too?" + +Tom wanted to show Anna that he was intelligent. He saw a bigger rock and ran to it. "I can step on this rock, and that one, and that one!" he said. He jumped from one rock to another, without looking where he was going. + +Anna saw a bright flash in the sky. She heard a loud noise. She was scared. "Tom, stop! There is lightning! We have to go home!" she shouted. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to step on one more rock. He did not see the lightning coming. He did not hear Anna's voice. He only felt a big pain. He fell to the ground. He did not move. + +Anna ran to Tom. She cried. She called for help. But it was too late. Tom was gone. Anna was alone. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be foolish. Listen to your friends. Be careful of the lightning. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big box of toys and a shovel. They liked to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they would pretend to be pirates and look for treasure. + +"Look, I found a dinosaur!" Ben said, holding up a plastic toy. "Let's bury it here and make a map." + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. She helped Ben dig a hole and put the dinosaur inside. Then they covered it with dirt and drew a map on a piece of paper. + +They buried more toys and made more maps. They had so much fun that they forgot about lunch. They started to feel hungry. + +"Let's go inside and eat something," Lily said. "Mommy must have made something yummy." + +They ran to the house and opened the door. But they saw something scary. A big dog was in the kitchen. It had knocked over the cabinet and made a mess. It had eaten all the food and was still hungry. It saw Lily and Ben and growled. + +"Mommy! Daddy! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It jumped on them and bit them. They cried and bled. The dog did not stop. + +No one heard them. No one came to help. The dog ate them. They were gone. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They found a big jar of salt and poured some on a plate. + +"Look, this is snow!" Tom said. "We can make a snowman with it!" + +Lily nodded and took some salt in her hands. She tried to roll it into a ball, but it was too dry and crumbly. She frowned and tasted it. It was very salty and disgusting. She spat it out and made a face. + +"Yuck! This is not snow, this is salt!" she said. "It is bad for you. It makes you thirsty and sick." + +Tom laughed and took a pinch of salt. He threw it at Lily and said, "Snow fight! Snow fight!" + +Lily dodged the salt and ran away. She grabbed a towel and wiped her mouth. She saw a banana on the counter and picked it up. She peeled it and broke it in half. She gave one half to Tom and said, "Here, this is better. This is a banana. It is sweet and good for you. It makes you happy and strong." + +Tom took the banana and smiled. He bit into it and said, "Mmm, you are right. This is better.

But then she saw a butterfly flying in a zigzag pattern. + +Lily said, "Look at that butterfly! It's flying in a zigzag!" + +Her friend said, "That's normal for a butterfly. They fly like that." + +Lily was happy to learn something new and she continued to play with her friends. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing with his toys and his friends at the park. One day, Timmy and his friends were playing hide and seek when the sky turned dark. Timmy felt scared because he didn't like the dark. + +Suddenly, his friend Billy passed by and saw that Timmy was scared. Billy was envious of Timmy's toy car, but he knew that Timmy needed help. So, Billy held Timmy's hand and they walked together to Timmy's house. + +When they arrived, Timmy's mom was waiting for them with a big smile on her face. She gave Timmy a hug and told him that everything was going to be okay. From that day on, Timmy knew that even in the dark, he had friends who would always pass by and help him when he needed it. +Once upon a time, there was a little fisherman named Timmy. Timmy loved to fish in the river every day. He always caught a lot of fish, but one day he caught a big fish that made him worry. + +Timmy said, "Oh no, what should I do? This fish is too big for me to carry home!" + +Just then, a good man named Mr. Smith came by and saw Timmy's worry. Mr. Smith said, "Don't worry little one, I will help you carry the fish home." + +Timmy was very happy and thanked Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith helped Timmy carry the fish home and Timmy learned that it's always good to ask for help when you're worried. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to walk around his neighborhood and explore. One day, Timmy's mom told him that it was going to be very cold outside, so he needed to wear his coat. Timmy didn't like his coat because it was the same color as everyone else's coat. He wanted a different coat. + +Timmy's mom said, "Timmy, you need to wear your coat so you don't get cold." Timmy replied, "But my coat is the same as everyone else's coat. I want a different coat." His mom said, "I know you want a different coat, but we don't have one right now. Maybe we can get you one for your birthday." + +So Timmy put on his coat and went for a walk. As he was walking, he saw a little girl crying. Timmy asked her why she was crying, and she said she lost her coat. Timmy knew he didn't like his coat, but he also knew that the little girl needed a coat to stay warm. So he gave her his coat and walked home without it. + +When Timmy got home, his mom saw that he wasn't wearing his coat and asked him why. Timmy said, "I gave my coat to a little girl who lost hers. I don't need a different coat. I like my coat because it helped someone else." His mom hugged him and said, "You're right, Timmy. Your coat may look the same as everyone else's, but it's special because it helped someone in need." +Once upon a time, there was a goat. The goat was very busy eating grass in the field. Suddenly, a little girl came to the field and wanted to play with the goat. But the goat didn't want to play, it wanted to eat. + +The little girl tried to play with the goat but the goat resisted. The goat was too busy eating and didn't want to play. The little girl felt sad but then she saw a butterfly and went to chase it. + +The goat continued to eat and didn't notice the little girl was gone. When the little girl came back, she saw the goat was still eating. She smiled and watched the goat eat until it was time to go home. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy lived on a farm with his family. One day, Timmy's mother asked him to help pick corn from the field. Timmy was not happy about this, he felt miserable because he wanted to play with his toys instead. + +But Timmy's mother explained that picking corn was important for their family to have food to eat. So Timmy decided to help. He picked the corn and was surprised at how much he enjoyed it. He even found a little worm on one of the corn cobs and thought it was funny. + +After they finished picking the corn, Timmy felt proud of himself for helping his family. His mother hugged him and said, "When we work together, we can accomplish anything." Timmy learned that helping others can give you a good feeling inside. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would miss the ball and it would roll away. Then they would chase the ball and find it again. + +One time, the ball rolled very far away. Lily and Ben ran after it, but they could not see it. They looked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. They could not find the ball anywhere. + +"Where is our ball?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe someone took it." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked their ball very much. They wanted to play with it some more. + +They walked around the park, hoping to see their ball. They saw other children playing with different toys, but not their ball. They saw birds, squirrels, and flowers, but not their ball. They saw a big pond, with water and ducks, but not their ball. + +Then, Lily saw something shiny in the water. She pointed to it and said, "Look, Ben! What is that?" + +Ben looked at the water and saw the shiny thing too. He said, "Let's go and see!" + +They ran to the edge of the pond and looked closer. They saw that the shiny thing was their ball. It was floating on the water, near the ducks. The ball had rolled into the pond and the water had made it shiny. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They had found their ball. They smiled at each other and said, "Yay!" + +They looked for a stick to get their ball out of the water. They found a long stick and used it to push the ball closer to them. They reached for the ball and pulled it out of the water. The ball was wet and shiny, but still their ball. + +Lily and Ben hugged their ball and said, "We love our ball!" + +They decided to play with their ball some more, but not near the pond. They ran to a grassy spot and kicked the ball to each other again. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +They had discovered their ball in the water and they had discovered how to get it back. They had also discovered that they had each other and that made them happy. They did not mind that the pond was distant. They had their ball and their smile. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toy guns. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Lily was the cowboy and Ben was the robber. They ran around the trees and the swings, shouting and shooting at each other. + +"Bang, bang, you're dead, robber!" Lily said, pointing her gun at Ben. + +"No, I'm not, cowboy! You missed me!" Ben said, dodging behind a slide. + +They laughed and chased each other some more. Then they saw a big, old house at the end of the park. It looked ancient and spooky. Lily and Ben were curious and wanted to explore it. + +"Maybe there are some treats inside, like candy or cookies," Lily said. + +"Or maybe there are some traps, like spiders or ghosts," Ben said. + +They decided to go inside anyway. They opened the door and walked into the dark hall. They saw a lot of dusty furniture and paintings. They also saw a sign that said "Do not enter". + +"Let's go in there," Lily said, pointing to a door with the sign. + +"No, let's not. It's not safe," Ben said, feeling scared. + +But Lily was brave and stubborn. She opened the door and went in. Ben followed her, holding his gun. They saw a big, shiny cabinet with a glass door. Inside the cabinet, there were a lot of old guns and knives and swords. + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said, reaching for a gun. + +"Be careful, Lily. They might be real," Ben said, grabbing her arm. + +But it was too late. Lily pulled the trigger and a loud bang echoed in the room. A bullet flew out of the gun and hit Ben in the chest. He fell to the floor, bleeding and crying. + +"Lily, why did you shoot me?" Ben said, looking at her with sad eyes. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. I thought it was a toy," Lily said, dropping the gun and running to him. + +She hugged him and tried to stop the blood. But it was too much. Ben stopped breathing and his eyes closed. Lily screamed and cried. She had killed her best friend. She wished she had listened to him and not entered the room. She wished she had never played with the gun. She wished she could go back to the park and play with him again. But it was too late. She was alone and afraid in the ancient house. And no one heard her. +Lisa liked to play with her toys. She had many toys of different colors and shapes. She kept them in a big box in her room. She was very organized. She always put her toys back in the box when she was done playing. + +One day, Lisa wanted to play with her friend Tom. She invited him to her room. She showed him her toys and said, "Look, these are my toys. They are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He liked Lisa's toys. He picked up a red car and made it zoom on the floor. He picked up a yellow ball and bounced it on the bed. He picked up a blue teddy bear and hugged it. + +Lisa watched Tom play with her toys. She felt happy that he liked them. She said, "Tom, you can play with any toy you want. But please be careful. Don't break them or lose them. And when we are done, we have to put them back in the box." + +Tom agreed. He said, "OK, Lisa. I will be careful. And I will help you put them back in the box." + +They played for a long time. They had fun. They made up stories and sounds with their toys. They laughed and shared. + +Then, Lisa's mom called them for lunch. She said, "Lisa, Tom, it's time to eat. Come to the kitchen." + +Lisa and Tom said, "OK, mom. We are coming." + +They looked at their toys. They were all over the floor and the bed. They had to put them back in the box. They worked together. They picked up each toy and put it in the box. They were very organized. They covered the box with a lid. They said, "Bye, toys. See you later." + +They went to the kitchen. They washed their hands. They ate their lunch. They thanked Lisa's mom. They said, "That was yummy." + +Lisa's mom smiled. She said, "You are very welcome. You are very good kids. You played nicely and you cleaned up your mess. I am proud of you." + +Lisa and Tom felt happy. They hugged Lisa's mom. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They went back to Lisa's room. They played some more. They used their touch to feel the toys. They used their imagination to create new stories. They were very happy. They were very good friends. +Anna liked to look at the rabbits in the park. They had soft fur and long ears. They ate carrots and grass. Anna wanted to give them a carrot. She asked her mom for a carrot. Her mom said yes, but be polite. + +Anna took the carrot and walked to the park. She saw a big rabbit near a tree. She smiled and said hello. She held out the carrot. The rabbit looked at her. It looked hungry. It jumped at her and bit her hand. Anna screamed and dropped the carrot. The rabbit ate the carrot and ran away. + +Anna's mom heard her scream and ran to her. She saw the blood on her hand. She was angry and scared. She picked up Anna and took her to the car. She said they had to go to the doctor. Anna cried and said she was sorry. She said she only wanted to be polite. Her mom said it was not her fault. She said some rabbits were not polite. She said they would be careful next time. Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She felt sad and hurt. She did not like rabbits anymore. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big ladder near the wall. They want to climb the ladder and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben says. "Maybe we can find a bird or a cat or a ball!" + +"No, Ben, that is naughty!" Lily says. "Mum and Dad told us not to touch the ladder. It is not safe. We can fall and hurt ourselves." + +But Ben does not listen to Lily. He runs to the ladder and starts to climb. Lily follows him. She is scared, but she does not want to be alone. + +They reach the top of the ladder and look over the wall. They see a big house with a big garden. They see a swing and a slide and a sandbox. They see a dog and a rabbit and a fish. They see a lady and a man and a girl. The girl is singing a song. She has a pretty voice. + +"Wow, look at all the fun things!" Ben says. "Let's go and play with them!" + +"No, Ben, that is naughty!" Lily says. "We do not know them. They are not our friends. They will be angry if we go into their garden. We have to go back." + +But Ben does not listen to Lily. He jumps off the ladder and runs to the garden. Lily follows him. She is scared, but she does not want to leave him. + +They run to the swing and the slide and the sandbox. They play with the dog and the rabbit and the fish. They try to sing with the girl. But the girl does not like them. She stops singing and starts to cry. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" she says. "This is my garden. You are not welcome. Go away!" + +The lady and the man hear the girl cry. They come to the garden and see Lily and Ben. They are angry. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" they say. "This is our garden. You are not welcome. Go away!" + +They take Lily and Ben by the hand and lead them to the wall. They put them back on the ladder and tell them to go home. + +Lily and Ben are sad and sorry. They climb down the ladder and run to their garden. They see Mum and Dad waiting for them. They are angry. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" they say. "This is our garden. You are not welcome. Go away!" + +No, they do not say that. They say: + +"Where have you been? What have you done?" they say. "We have been looking for you. We have been worried. You have been naughty. You have to say sorry." + +Lily and Ben say sorry. They hug Mum and Dad. They promise not to touch the ladder again. They promise to be good. They learn their lesson. They do not want to be naughty. They want to be happy. +Anna and Ben love to sail with their dad. They have a small boat that they can take to the lake. They like to feel the wind and the water on their faces. They also like to see the birds and the fish in the lake. + +One day, their dad says, "Do you want to go to the zoo today? They have many animals that you can see and hear. They have lions and monkeys and elephants and more." + +Anna and Ben are very excited. They say, "Yes, yes, yes! We want to go to the zoo!" + +They get in the car and drive to the zoo. They see a big sign that says "ZOO" and a map that shows where the animals are. They follow their dad and look at the animals. + +They see the lions roaring and the monkeys jumping. They see the elephants spraying water and the giraffes eating leaves. They see the penguins swimming and the bears sleeping. + +They have a lot of fun at the zoo. They learn the names and sounds of the animals. They also feed some of the animals with their dad. + +When they are done, they go back to the car. They are tired and happy. They say, "Thank you, dad, for taking us to the zoo. We had a great time!" + +Their dad says, "You're welcome, Anna and Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now, let's go home and have some rest. Maybe tomorrow we can sail again." + +They nod and smile. They close their eyes and fall asleep. The car is quiet and peaceful. They dream of sailing and zoo animals. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to create things with sticks and leaves. They found a big branch that had fallen from a tree. They decided to make a boat with it. + +"Look, Lily, this branch is perfect for our boat!" Ben said. "We can put some leaves on it to make a sail." + +"Good idea, Ben!" Lily said. "But how will we move the boat? We need something to push it." + +Ben looked around and saw a small stick. He picked it up and said, "This can be our oar. We can use it to row the boat in the pond." + +They carried the branch and the stick to the pond. They put the branch in the water and put some leaves on it. They tried to row the boat with the stick, but it was difficult. The branch was too heavy and the stick was too short. + +"This is hard, Ben!" Lily said. "The boat is not moving fast." + +"Maybe we need a bigger oar," Ben said. "Or a smaller branch." + +They looked for another branch or stick, but they could not find any. They felt sad. They wanted to play with their boat, but they could not make it work. + +Then they saw a duck swimming in the pond. The duck was curious and came closer to the branch. It pecked at the leaves and made them fall off. Then it pushed the branch with its beak and made it move. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Ben said. "The duck is helping us! It is moving our boat!" + +"Wow, Ben, wow!" Lily said. "The duck is so nice! It is playing with us!" + +They laughed and clapped their hands. They thanked the duck and watched it swim with the branch. They were happy. They had made a new friend. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park near their town. One day, they see a big tree with a swing. Sara wants to try the swing, but Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom, it's fun!" Sara says. She runs to the swing and sits on it. She holds the rope and pushes with her feet. She goes up and down, up and down. She feels the wind in her hair and laughs. + +Tom watches Sara from far away. He thinks the swing is too high and too fast. He does not want to fall. He leans on a bench and shakes his head. "No, Sara, it's not fun. It's scary!" he says. + +Sara stops the swing and jumps off. She runs to Tom and tries to pull him. "Don't be scared, Tom. It's not scary. It's fine!" she says. "You can do it. I will help you." + +Tom pulls back and says no. He does not want to try the swing. He wants to play something else. He and Sara start to argue. They raise their voices and make faces. They are not friends anymore. + +A lady who works in the park hears them. She walks to them and smiles. She asks them what is wrong. Sara and Tom tell her their problem. The lady listens and nods. She says she has an idea. She says they can take turns on the swing. Sara can go first, then Tom can go. She says she will hold the rope and make the swing go slow. She says they can both have fun and be safe. + +Sara and Tom think about the lady's idea. They look at each other and say sorry. They agree to try the lady's idea. They hug and smile. They are friends again. + +They go to the swing with the lady. Sara goes first and shows Tom how to sit and hold the rope. The lady makes the swing go slow and gentle. Sara says it's fine. Tom watches and nods. He says he will try next. + +Tom goes next and sits on the swing. The lady holds the rope and makes the swing go slow and gentle. Tom feels the swing move and the wind touch his face. He says it's fine. He says it's fun. He laughs. + +Sara and Tom take turns on the swing. They thank the lady for helping them. They have fun and learn something new. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Anna was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and chattered and jumped around. + +"Look, I found a glass!" Ben said, holding up a shiny cup. "It is pretty and shiny. I want to drink from it." + +"No, Ben, that is not a toy. That is Mommy's glass. She will be mad if you break it. Put it back on the table." Anna said, trying to take the glass from Ben. + +"No, it is mine. I want it. Go away, lion!" Ben said, pulling the glass away from Anna. He ran to the other side of the room. + +Anna followed him and tried to grab the glass again. They both pulled hard and the glass slipped from their hands. It fell to the floor and broke with a loud snap. The glass shattered into many pieces. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said, looking at the mess. + +Anna and Ben heard Mommy coming. They knew they were in trouble. They hid behind the sofa and hoped Mommy would not see them. + +"Who broke my glass?" Mommy asked, seeing the broken glass on the floor. She sounded fierce and angry. "Anna? Ben? Where are you?" + +Anna and Ben did not answer. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had listened to Anna and left the glass alone. They learned that glass is not a toy and that it can snap and hurt. They decided to say sorry to Mommy and help her clean up. They hoped Mommy would forgive them and still love them. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the yard. They have a big hill of dirt and rocks that they use as a ramp. Ben likes to make his car go very fast and fly in the air. Mia likes to make her car go slow and careful. She does not want to break her car or get it dirty. + +One day, Ben has a new car. It is red and shiny and has big tires. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look at my car. It is the best car ever. It can go faster and higher than your car. Your car is old and boring. Watch this!" He puts his car on the ramp and pushes it hard. The car zooms up the hill and flies over the fence. Ben laughs and says, "Wow! Did you see that? My car is awesome!" + +Mia does not laugh. She feels sad and angry. She thinks Ben is mean and rude. She says, "That was not nice. You could have lost your car or hurt someone. And you made fun of my car. I like my car. It is pretty and gentle. It does not need to go fast or high. It just needs to be loved." She picks up her car and wipes the dust off it. She hugs it and says, "You are my favorite car. I will always take care of you." + +Ben does not hear her. He runs to the fence and looks for his car. He sees it on the other side, in the street. He wants to get it back, but he sees a big truck coming. The truck is loud and scary. It has huge tires and a horn. Ben feels afraid and freezes. He does not know what to do. + +Mia sees Ben and the truck. She feels alert and brave. She drops her car and runs to Ben. She grabs his hand and pulls him away from the fence. She says, "Come on, Ben. We have to get out of here. The truck is dangerous. It could hit your car or us. Hurry!" She drags him to the porch and they hide behind the door. They hear the truck pass by and honk. They do not know if it hit Ben's car or not. + +Ben and Mia are safe, but they are both scared and sad. They hug each other and say, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." They realize they were both wrong. Ben was wrong to be boastful and careless. Mia was wrong to be jealous and angry. They decide to be nice and share. They go back to the yard and look for their cars. They find them both, a little scratched and dirty, but still working. They wipe them and play with them together. They make them go fast and slow, high and low, but always with love and care. They are happy and friends again. +Anna and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a big pond. They saw some ducks and a goose. + +"Let's go to the pond and feed the ducks," Anna said. + +"OK," Ben said. They put on their coats and shoes and ran to the pond. They brought some bread to give to the ducks. + +The ducks were happy to see them. They quacked and swam to them. Anna and Ben threw some bread into the water. The ducks ate the bread and splashed their wings. + +But the goose was not happy. He was angry and greedy. He wanted all the bread for himself. He honked and chased the ducks away. He tried to bite Anna and Ben. + +"Go away, goose!" Anna shouted. "You are mean and rude!" + +The goose did not listen. He kept honking and biting. Anna and Ben were scared. They ran away from the pond. They dropped the bread and the goose ate it. + +They ran back to their house. They told their mom what happened. + +"That goose is very bad," their mom said. "He does not know how to share or be nice. He does not believe in friendship." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They hugged their mom. They were glad they had each other. + +They decided they did not like the goose. They liked the ducks better. They hoped the ducks would come back to the pond. They thought the goose was boring. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They saw some big kids making a fire with sticks and leaves. They wanted to join them and see the fire. + +"Can we join you?" Lily asked the big kids. "We like fire too." + +The big kids looked at Lily and Tom and laughed. "No, you can't join us. You are too small and silly. Go away or we will make you go away." + +Lily and Tom felt sad and scared. They did not like the big kids. They ran away from the fire and the big kids. + +They saw a man with a dog. The dog was big and fluffy. He had a calm face and a wagging tail. He came to Lily and Tom and licked their faces. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me and my dog?" the man asked. "He is very friendly and gentle. His name is Rex." + +Lily and Tom smiled and nodded. They liked the man and the dog. They played with Rex and threw the ball for him. He ran and fetched the ball and brought it back. + +They had fun with the man and the dog. They forgot about the fire and the big kids. They were happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with trains and cars. One day, Anna has an idea. + +"Ben, do you want to go to the subway with me?" she asks. + +"What is the subway?" Ben asks. + +"It is a big train that goes under the ground. It is very fast and loud. My mom takes me there sometimes. It is fun!" Anna says. + +"OK, I want to go to the subway with you. But we have to ask our moms first," Ben says. + +They run to their moms and ask if they can go to the subway. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful and stay together. They give them some money and a snack. + +Anna and Ben walk to the subway station. They see many people and cars and buses. They hear a lot of noise. They go down the stairs and find the platform. They wait for the subway train to come. + +"Look, there it is!" Anna says, pointing to the train. + +They get on the train and find a seat. They look out the window and see the dark tunnel. They feel the train moving fast. They hear the train horn and the announcements. + +"This is so cool!" Ben says. + +They eat their snack and talk about what they see. They also see some people who are messy. They have dirty clothes and bags and smell bad. They make Anna and Ben feel scared. + +"Who are they?" Ben whispers to Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe they live in the subway. Maybe they have no home. Maybe they are sad," Anna whispers back. + +They feel sorry for them. They wish they could help them. They wonder if they have any friends. + +They get off the train at their stop. They go back to their moms. They tell them about their subway adventure. They say they had fun, but they also saw some messy people. + +Their moms hug them and say they are proud of them. They say they are lucky to have a home and friends. They say they can invite their friends to play at their house anytime. They say they can also share their toys and food with the messy people if they see them again. + +Anna and Ben smile and say thank you. They invite each other to play at their house tomorrow. They are happy to have each other as friends. They are happy to have the subway as a fun place to go. They are happy to have their moms as their helpers. They are happy to be kind to everyone. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water in the backyard, and they pretended it was the sea. They made waves with their hands, and sailed their boats around. + +One day, they found a small island in the tub. It was a rock with some grass and flowers on it. Tim and Sam both wanted to put their boats on the island, but there was not enough room for both. + +"Move your boat, Sam!" Tim said. "I saw the island first!" + +"No, you move your boat, Tim!" Sam said. "The island is mine!" + +They started to argue and push each other. Their boats rocked and tipped over. The water splashed and wet their clothes. They got very grumpy and angry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the boys fighting and the boats sinking. She was not happy. + +"Boys, stop that right now!" Mom said. "Why are you being so mean to each other?" + +"Mom, he took my island!" Tim said. + +"Mom, he pushed my boat!" Sam said. + +Mom shook her head. "The island is not yours or his. It is a rock that belongs to the earth. And the boats are toys that you should share and take care of. You are brothers, and you should love and help each other, not fight and hurt each other. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They nodded. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand," they said. + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They picked up their boats and dried them. They decided to take turns putting their boats on the island, and to make more islands with other rocks and plants. They played nicely and had fun. + +Mom smiled and gave them a kiss. She was proud of them. + +The moral of the story is: You should share and be kind to your siblings, not fight and be greedy. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red truck made of steel. They took the truck everywhere, even to the park and the beach. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They played with the truck on the grass, the sand, and the water. They had a lot of fun, but they were careless. They did not clean the truck after playing. They left it wet and dirty in their bag. + +When they got home, they forgot about the truck. They put the bag in the corner of their room and played with other toys. They did not remember the truck for many days. + +One day, they wanted to play with the truck again. They looked for it in their bag, but they could not find it. They asked their mom and dad, but they did not know where it was. They searched everywhere, but they could not see it. + +They finally found it in the backyard. It was under a pile of leaves and dirt. It was not red anymore. It was brown and black. It was not shiny anymore. It was dull and rusty. It was not strong anymore. It was weak and broken. It had rotted away. + +Tom and Sam were very sad. They cried and hugged the truck. They wished they had taken care of it. They said sorry to the truck, but it was too late. The truck was gone. +Lily wanted to help her mom make a cake. She saw a big bowl with flour and eggs and butter. She saw a small spoon with sugar. She liked sugar. She took the small spoon and put it in her mouth. + +"Yum!" she said. + +"No, Lily!" her mom said. "That is not for you. That is for the cake. Give me the spoon, please." + +But Lily did not want to give the spoon. She wanted more sugar. She ran away from her mom and hid under the table. + +Her mom followed her and bent down. She saw Lily holding the spoon tightly. + +"Lily, listen to me," her mom said. "You have to give me the spoon. Too much sugar is bad for you. It will make you sick and uncomfortable. You don't want that, do you?" + +Lily looked at her mom. She saw her mom's face was serious and kind. She felt a little urge in her heart. She wanted to make her mom happy. She wanted to help her mom make the cake. She did not want to be sick and uncomfortable. + +She opened her hand and gave the spoon to her mom. + +"Thank you, Lily," her mom said. "You are a good girl. Now, come and help me stir the batter. We will make a delicious cake together." + +Lily smiled and followed her mom. She felt happy and proud. She liked to help her mom. She liked to make cake. She liked to be a good girl. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big purple rat. The rat has long teeth and a long tail. It looks mean and scary. + +"Look, a purple rat!" Lila says. "It is so funny and weird!" + +"No, it is not funny, it is bad!" Ben says. "It can bite us and make us sick. We have to run away!" + +But the purple rat sees them and runs after them. It makes a loud noise. "Squeak, squeak, I want to eat you!" the rat says. + +Lila and Ben are very afraid. They run as fast as they can. They look for a place to hide. + +They see a big tree. The tree has a hole in it. They run to the tree and go inside the hole. The purple rat cannot fit in the hole. It tries to push and scratch, but it cannot get in. + +"Ha, ha, you cannot catch us!" Lila and Ben say. "You are too big and fat!" + +The purple rat is angry and sad. It gives up and runs away. It looks for other food. + +Lila and Ben are safe and happy. They hug each other and laugh. They wait until the purple rat is gone. Then they come out of the hole and go back to their mom and dad. + +They tell them about the purple rat. Their mom and dad do not believe them. They think they made up the story. + +But Lila and Ben know it is true. They saw the purple rat with their own eyes. They will never forget it. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play at the gym. They liked to swing, slide and jump. They had fun together. + +One day, a new boy came to the gym. His name was Max. He was big and strong. He could swing higher, slide faster and jump farther than Ben and Lily. He showed off his skills. He said, "Look at me! I am the best!" + +Ben and Lily felt jealous. They wanted to be the best too. They tried to copy Max. But they could not do what he did. They fell and hurt themselves. They cried and ran away. + +Max laughed at them. He said, "You are silly and weak! You are not my friends!" + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like Max. They did not like the gym anymore. They did not play there again. They lost their fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to bake a cake for Mommy's birthday. They found some flour, eggs, milk and sugar. They mixed them in a big bowl. + +"Can I put some diamonds on the cake?" Ben asked. He had a shiny necklace that he got from Grandma. He thought the stones were diamonds. + +"No, Ben, those are not diamonds. They are beads. Diamonds are very hard and very rare. Mommy would not like them on her cake. They might hurt her teeth." Lily said. She was older and knew more things. + +"But they are so pretty. And Mommy likes pretty things. Please, Lily, let me put some diamonds on the cake." Ben begged. He did not listen to Lily. He took the necklace and broke it. The beads fell on the floor. + +Lily was angry. She shouted at Ben. "Ben, you are naughty. You made a mess. And you ruined Grandma's necklace. She will be sad. Mommy will be mad. And we have no cake." She started to cry. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He did not mean to break the necklace. He did not know the beads were not diamonds. He hugged Lily and said. "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. I love Mommy. I love Grandma. Can we still bake a cake?" + +Lily wiped her tears. She hugged Ben back and said. "I love you too, Ben. We can still bake a cake. But we need to clean up first. And we need to find something else to decorate the cake. Maybe some sprinkles or some fruit. And we need to say sorry to Grandma. OK?" + +Ben nodded. He helped Lily clean up the floor. They found some sprinkles and some strawberries. They put them on the cake. They wrote "Happy Birthday Mommy" with icing. They were proud of their cake. They hoped Mommy would like it. They hoped Grandma would forgive them. They learned a lesson. Diamonds are not for baking. +Ben and Lily are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend with other things too. Ben picks up a telephone and puts it to his ear. He says, "Hello, this is Ben. Who is this?" + +Lily notices the telephone and wants to play too. She runs to Ben and tries to grab the telephone. She says, "Me, me, me! I want to talk!" + +Ben does not want to share. He holds the telephone tight and says, "No, this is my telephone. Go away!" + +Lily is sad and angry. She starts to cry and scream. She says, "That is not fair! You are mean!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Ben and Lily fighting over the telephone. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Ben and Lily stop crying and look at Mom. They both say, "He/she started it!" + +Mom shakes her head and says, "That is not a good way to play. You have to share and take turns. The telephone is for everyone. How about you both talk to someone on the telephone? Maybe you can call Grandma and tell her how great you are." + +Ben and Lily like the idea. They both smile and say, "Okay, Mom. We love Grandma. She is great too." + +Mom gives them the telephone and helps them dial the number. They hear Grandma's voice and say, "Hi, Grandma. It is Ben and Lily. We are playing with the telephone. We want to tell you something." + +Grandma is happy to hear from them. She says, "Hi, Ben and Lily. I am glad you are playing with the telephone. What do you want to tell me?" + +Ben and Lily take turns and say, "We are great. We are smart and funny and kind. We love you, Grandma." + +Grandma laughs and says, "You are great indeed. You are smart and funny and kind. I love you too, Ben and Lily. Thank you for calling me. You made my day." + +Ben and Lily feel good. They say, "You are welcome, Grandma. You made our day too. Bye, Grandma." + +They hang up the telephone and hug each other. They say, "We are sorry for fighting. We are friends. We can share and play nicely." + +Mom is proud of them. She says, "That is wonderful. I am happy you are friends. You can play with the telephone again, but remember to share and take turns. And maybe you can call someone else who is great, like Dad or Auntie or Cousin." + +Ben and Lily nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We will do that. We have many great people to call. We love the telephone. It is fun." +Lila was a small girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a doll that was a prince. He had a crown and a cape and a sword. Lila loved her prince doll very much. + +One day, Lila was playing with her prince doll in the garden. She made him fight a dragon that was a big rock. She said, "Go, prince, go! You are brave and strong. You can beat the dragon!" She threw the prince doll at the rock. But the rock was too hard. The prince doll hit the rock and broke. His crown fell off and his cape tore and his sword snapped. + +Lila cried. She ran to her mom and showed her the broken prince doll. She said, "Mom, mom, look! My prince is broken. He fought the dragon and the dragon broke him. I'm so sad. Can you fix him?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Lila, I'm sorry. Your prince was very brave, but sometimes things break when we play too rough. I can try to fix him, but he might not look the same. Maybe you can give him a new crown and a new cape and a new sword. Or maybe you can find a new friend for him. There are many other dolls that would like to play with you and your prince." + +Lila nodded. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my prince, even if he is broken. He is still my prince. Maybe I can make him a new crown and a new cape and a new sword. And maybe I can find a new dragon that is not so hard. A dragon that is soft and nice and can be friends with my prince." She smiled and kissed her mom and ran back to the garden with her broken prince doll. She was happy again. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and books in the nursery. One day, they saw a new toy on the shelf. It was a big tray with many rare stones and shells. They sparkled and shone in different colors. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lila said. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe it belongs to someone else." + +They asked the teacher, Miss Rose, if they could borrow the tray. Miss Rose smiled and said yes, but they had to be careful and share. + +"Thank you, Miss Rose!" Lila and Sam said. They took the tray to a corner and started to look at the stones and shells. They felt smooth and rough, warm and cold. They made patterns and shapes with them. + +They had so much fun that they forgot the time. Soon, Miss Rose said it was time to clean up and go home. + +"Lila, Sam, please bring back the tray," Miss Rose said. "It is a special gift from my friend. She travels to many places and collects rare things." + +Lila and Sam nodded and carried the tray back to the shelf. They thanked Miss Rose again and said goodbye. + +"Did you like the tray?" Lila asked Sam. + +"Yes, I did," Sam said. "It was very pretty and interesting. Maybe we can borrow it again another day." + +"Me too," Lila said. "But I also like our toys and books. They are fun too." + +They hugged and went home, happy and curious. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who likes to run and bark. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. The park is very big and green. There are many flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Ben see a big hill in the east. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Mom, can we go to the hill?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but stay close to me and Spot," mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the hill with Spot. They climb and climb until they reach the top. They see a pond with ducks and frogs and fish. They also see a scarecrow with a hat and a coat and a broom. + +"Wow, look at the scarecrow!" Ben says. + +"Let's go say hello," Lily says. + +They run to the scarecrow with Spot. The scarecrow does not move or talk. He just stands there with a smile on his face. + +"Hello, Mr. Scarecrow," Lily says. "Do you like the pond?" + +The scarecrow does not answer. He just smiles. + +"Maybe he is shy," Ben says. + +"Or maybe he is sleepy," Lily says. + +They decide to play with the scarecrow. They take his hat and his coat and his broom. They put them on and pretend to be scarecrows too. They laugh and dance and sing. + +Spot does not like the scarecrow. He thinks the scarecrow is a bad man who wants to hurt his friends. He barks and growls and jumps at the scarecrow. He pulls the scarecrow's arms and legs and head. He makes the scarecrow fall down. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They see the scarecrow's straw scatter all over the ground. They see his hat and his coat and his broom fly away. They see the ducks and the frogs and the fish swim away. They see their mom run to them. + +"Spot, stop!" mom says. "Bad dog!" + +Lily and Ben cry. They hug their mom and say sorry. They did not mean to break the scarecrow. They just wanted to play. + +Mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can help fix the scarecrow. She says they can say sorry to the farmer who owns the pond. She says they can learn to be more careful and respectful. + +Lily and Ben nod. They wipe their tears and smile. They love their mom and Spot. They love the park and the hill and the pond. They love the scarecrow too. They hope he will forgive them. + +They walk down the hill with mom and Spot. They are quiet and calm. They look at the east and see the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes them happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with water. One day, they found a big bucket of water in the garden. They decided to have some fun and splash each other with water. They laughed and ran around the bucket, throwing water at each other. + +"Look, Lily, I can splash you from here!" Ben said, as he scooped up some water and threw it at his sister. + +"Hey, stop that, Ben, you are making me wet!" Lily said, as she dodged the water and splashed him back. + +They did not notice that some of the water was landing on the rug that their mom had put outside to dry. The rug was getting wet and dirty from the water and the mud. + +Their mom was busy in the kitchen, making lunch for them. She heard them laughing and thought they were having a good time. She did not know what they were doing with the water. She finished making lunch and went outside to call them. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben, lunch is ready!" she said, as she saw them playing with the water. Then she saw the rug. It was soaked and stained. She was very angry. + +"What have you done to the rug?" she asked them. "This was a new rug that I bought yesterday. It was very expensive and beautiful. Now it is ruined!" + +Lily and Ben stopped playing and looked at the rug. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to spoil the rug. They just wanted to have some fun. + +"We are sorry, mom, we did not see the rug," Lily said. + +"We were just playing with the water, mom, we did not mean to hurt the rug," Ben said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was very disappointed with them. + +"Playing with water is fun, but you have to be careful and respectful of other things. You have to look around and see if there is anything that you might damage or waste. You have to think before you act. You have to be responsible for your actions. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they understood. They apologized to their mom again and promised to be more careful and respectful next time. They helped their mom to wash and dry the rug. They learned their lesson and never splashed water on the rug again. +Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a long tail. The dog is smelly and makes loud sounds. Sam likes the dog. He wants to pet it. Mia is scared of the dog. She does not want to go near it. + +"Can we go and say hello to the dog?" Sam asks Mia. + +"No, no, no!" Mia says. "The dog is smelly and scary. It might bite us." + +Sam shakes his head. He thinks Mia is silly. He walks towards the dog. The dog sees Sam and wags its tail. It makes a happy sound. + +"See, the dog is nice. It wants to be our friend." Sam says. He reaches out his hand to touch the dog. + +Mia follows Sam. She does not want to be alone. She sees the dog's teeth and hears its sound. She feels afraid. She pulls Sam's arm. + +"Sam, come back! The dog is not nice. It is angry. It will hurt us." Mia says. + +Sam looks at Mia. He sees her face. She looks sad and scared. He feels sorry for her. He nods his head. He lets go of the dog. He holds Mia's hand. + +"OK, Mia. We will not play with the dog. We will play with something else." Sam says. + +Mia smiles. She hugs Sam. She is happy that he listens to her. They walk away from the dog. They find a swing and a slide. They play together and have fun. +Tom and Lily were playing by the river. They saw a big raft made of wood and rope. They wanted to go on the raft and have fun. + +"Let's go on the raft!" Tom said. "We can pretend we are pirates!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But be careful. The water is fast and deep." + +They ran to the raft and climbed on. They used sticks as swords and hats as pirate hats. They sang pirate songs and laughed. + +But then the raft started to move. The water was pushing it away from the shore. Tom and Lily were scared. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We are drifting away!" + +They looked for something to stop the raft. They saw a thin branch sticking out of the water. It was near the raft. + +"Quick! Reach for the branch!" Tom said. "Maybe we can pull the raft back!" + +Lily stretched her arm and tried to grab the branch. But it was too far. She could not reach it. + +The branch snapped and the raft went past it. Tom and Lily cried. They did not know what to do. + +But then they heard a voice. It was their dad. He was on the shore. He had a rope in his hand. + +"Don't worry, kids!" he said. "I'm here to help you. Hold on to the rope!" + +He threw the rope to the raft. Tom and Lily caught it. They held on tight. Their dad pulled the rope and brought the raft back to the shore. + +He hugged them and kissed them. He was happy they were safe. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "That was a very dangerous thing to do. You should never go on a raft without me." + +"We're sorry, dad," Tom and Lily said. "We just wanted to have fun. We didn't know the raft would move." + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful by the river. It can be very tricky. Next time, we can go on the raft together. How does that sound?" + +"Okay, dad," Tom and Lily said. "That sounds good. We love you, dad." + +"I love you too, kids," he said. "Now let's go home and have some cookies. You must be hungry after your adventure." + +They smiled and nodded. They followed their dad home. They were happy they were safe and they had a good dad. They learned their lesson and they never went on the raft without him again. +Lily was hungry. She wanted a snack. She saw a big cupboard in the kitchen. She thought there might be some cookies or crackers inside. She tried to open the cupboard, but it was too high for her. She looked around for a stool or a chair, but she could not find any. + +She saw her brother Tom playing with his blocks in the living room. She ran to him and said, "Tom, can you help me? I want to get something from the cupboard, but I can't reach it." + +Tom looked at her and said, "Why do you want to get something from the cupboard? It's not time for snack yet. Mom said we have to wait until she comes back from the store." + +Lily pouted and said, "But I'm hungry now. And I saw you sneak a cookie from the cupboard yesterday. You're not fair." + +Tom felt guilty. He knew he had taken a cookie without asking. He also knew Lily was his little sister and he should be nice to her. He said, "Okay, okay. I'll help you. But don't tell Mom, okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She followed Tom to the kitchen. Tom was taller than Lily, but he still could not reach the cupboard. He had an idea. He said, "Lily, you can stand on my shoulders. Then you can get something from the cupboard. But be careful, don't fall." + +Lily agreed. She climbed on Tom's shoulders and stretched her arms. She felt the handle of the cupboard and pulled it. The cupboard opened and she saw many boxes and jars inside. She saw a box of cookies and reached for it. But the box was too heavy for her. She tried to pull it out, but she lost her balance. She and the box fell down with a loud thud. + +Tom and Lily were both scared. They heard the cookies break and scatter on the floor. They also heard Mom's voice from the door. She said, "What's going on here? What are you two doing?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They felt weak and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were hungry and we wanted to get something from the cupboard. But we made a mess. We're sorry." + +Mom was angry, but she was also glad they were not hurt. She said, "You should not climb on the cupboard or on each other. That's dangerous. And you should not take snacks without asking. That's rude. You have to wait until I say it's time for snack. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We're sorry." + +Mom sighed and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up this mess. And then you have to go to your room and think about what you did. No more snacks for today." + +Tom and Lily said, "Okay, Mom. We'll help you. And we'll go to our room. We're sorry." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to learn to behave. Now, let's get a broom and a dustpan and clean up this mess." +Anna liked to gather flowers in the garden. She picked red ones, yellow ones, and purple ones. She wanted to make a pretty bouquet for her mom. She put the flowers in a big cup and carried it to the house. + +She saw the bathroom door was open. She thought mom was inside. She wanted to surprise her with the flowers. She walked quietly to the bathroom and peeked inside. + +But mom was not there. Instead, she saw a big, hairy spider on the sink. It had eight legs and two eyes. It looked at Anna and made a scary noise. Anna screamed and dropped the cup. The flowers and the water spilled everywhere. + +Mom heard Anna scream and ran to the bathroom. She saw the spider, the flowers, and the mess. She was not happy. She grabbed a tissue and threw the spider out the window. She hugged Anna and told her it was okay. + +Anna was sorry she made a mess. She said she wanted to give mom the flowers. Mom smiled and said she loved the flowers. She said they were very pretty. She said she was proud of Anna for gathering them. She said they could clean up the mess together. Anna felt better. She hugged mom and said she loved her. Mom said she loved her too. They went to get a mop and a towel. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +When they came to the ostrich pen, they saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It had black and white feathers and a small head. It looked funny to Anna and Ben. + +"Look, mom, it's an ostrich!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know what it can do?" mom asked. + +"No, what can it do?" Ben said. + +"It can run very fast, and it can hide its head in the sand when it is scared," mom said. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Anna said. + +They went closer to the fence to see the ostrich better. The ostrich saw them and blinked its eyes. It looked curious. + +"Hello, ostrich!" Anna said. She waved her hand. + +The ostrich blinked again and made a noise. It sounded like a snort. + +"Hello, Anna!" Ben said, pretending to be the ostrich. He made a funny face. + +Anna and Ben laughed. They thought the ostrich was silly. + +But they were careless. They did not see the sign that said "Do not feed the animals". They had some popcorn in their hands, and they threw some to the ostrich. + +The ostrich liked the popcorn. It ate it quickly and wanted more. It stretched its neck over the fence and pecked at Anna and Ben's hands. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna and Ben cried. They dropped the popcorn and ran away. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" mom shouted. She was angry and scared. She grabbed Anna and Ben and took them away from the ostrich. + +"That was not nice, Anna and Ben. You should not feed the animals. They can get sick or hurt you. You have to follow the rules at the zoo," mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to mom and to the ostrich. They learned their lesson. They did not feed any more animals at the zoo. They only watched them and enjoyed them. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and tubes. They can build many things with them. One day, they want to build a cool car with blocks and tubes. They find some big blocks and some long tubes. They start to build the car. + +"Look, this tube can be the wheel!" Ben says. He puts the tube on the block. + +"Good idea, Ben! And this tube can be the horn!" Sam says. He puts the tube on the front of the block. + +They work hard and have fun. Soon, they finish the car. It looks cool. They are happy. + +"Let's go for a ride!" Ben says. He sits on the block. + +"Wait for me!" Sam says. He sits behind Ben. + +They pretend to drive the car. They make noises like a car. They go fast and slow. They turn left and right. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they see Lily. Lily is a girl who lives next door. She is sad. She has no blocks or tubes to play with. She only has a doll. + +"Hi, Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asks. + +Lily looks at the car. She likes it. She wants to play with it. But she is shy. + +"I don't know. I only have a doll. You have a cool car." She says. + +Ben and Sam look at each other. They think. They want to be nice to Lily. They have an idea. + +"You can play with us. You can be the driver. We can be the passengers. Your doll can be the baby. We can share the car." Ben says. + +"Really? That would be fun. Thank you, Ben and Sam." Lily says. She smiles. + +She takes her doll and sits on the block. Ben and Sam sit behind her. They give her the horn tube. They let her drive the car. They all make noises like a car. They go fast and slow. They turn left and right. They have more fun. + +They learn to share and be kind. They make a new friend. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but then Tom wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Can I have the doll, please?" Tom asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She hugged the doll and did not want to share. + +Tom was angry. He grabbed the doll from Lily and tried to pull it away. Lily did not let go. They both pulled hard, and then they heard a loud snap. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. She looked at the doll and saw that its arm had broken off. The arm was on the floor and the doll had a hole in its body. + +Lily was sad. She loved her doll and did not want it to be hurt. She started to cry. + +Tom was confused. He did not mean to break the doll. He just wanted to play with it for a little while. He felt sorry for Lily and for the doll. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. He picked up the arm and gave it to Lily. "Maybe we can fix it." + +Lily stopped crying. She took the arm and looked at Tom. She saw that he was not mean, he was just curious. She felt a little better. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. She smiled and hugged Tom. "Maybe we can play together." + +Tom smiled back and hugged Lily. He was happy that she was not mad at him. He said, "Okay, let's play together. But can I have the car, please?" + +Lily laughed and said, "Sure, you can have the car. But can I have the doll, please?" + +They agreed to share their toys and play nicely. They had fun and forgot about the snap. +Anna loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her mom, she danced with her dad, she danced with her doll. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored. + +One day, Anna went to visit her grandma, who lived on a farm. There were many animals on the farm, like cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. Anna liked to watch them and feed them and pet them. But her favorite animal was a brown horse named Coco. Coco was very big and very gentle. He was reliable. He always came when Anna called him, and he let her ride on his back. + +Anna wanted to dance with Coco. She asked her grandma if she could. Her grandma said yes, but she had to be careful and stay in the stable. The stable was a big house for the horses, with hay and water and stalls. Anna put on her pink tutu and her ballet shoes, and ran to the stable. She found Coco in his stall, and gave him a hug and a carrot. She told him they were going to dance. + +Anna climbed on Coco's back, and held on to his mane. She told him to walk, trot, and gallop. Coco did what she said, and moved around the stable. Anna felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She lifted her arms and legs, and twirled and spun. She felt like she was flying. She sang a song, and Coco neighed along. They danced and danced, and had so much fun. + +Anna and Coco were the best dancers in the world. They made each other happy. They were friends. They loved to dance. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits. They were cherries. Tom and Lily wanted to eat some. + +They asked their mom if they could pick some cherries. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful. The tree was very tall and the cherries were high up. Mom gave them a basket and a ladder. She said she would watch them. + +Tom and Lily took the basket and the ladder. They put the ladder next to the tree. Tom climbed up first. He reached for a cherry. It was juicy and sweet. He put it in the basket. He saw another cherry. He reached for it. But he slipped and fell. He hurt his arm. + +Lily saw Tom fall. She was scared. She ran to him. She hugged him and said sorry. Mom came too. She checked Tom's arm. It was not broken, but it was sore. She put a bandage on it. She said Tom was lucky. He could have been hurt worse. + +Mom said they had enough cherries. She took the basket and the ladder. She said they should go inside and have some cake. She said she would make cherry cake with the cherries they picked. Tom and Lily smiled. They liked cherry cake. They said thank you to mom. They said they loved her. They held hands and went inside. They were happy. +One day, a panda named Pao wanted to go out and play. He saw a big river and thought it looked fun. He did not listen to his mama, who told him to stay away from the river. She said the river was dangerous and could end his life. + +Pao ran to the river and jumped in. He felt the water push him and pull him. He was scared and tried to swim back. But the river was too strong and fast. He cried for help, but no one heard him. + +Then, he saw a big log floating in the water. He grabbed the log and held on tight. The log took him to the other side of the river, where he saw a friendly monkey. The monkey helped him get off the log and gave him some bananas. He thanked the monkey and asked him how to get back to his mama. + +The monkey said he knew a bridge that crossed the river. He said he would show Pao the way, but he had to promise to never go near the river again. Pao agreed and followed the monkey. They walked for a long time and finally reached the bridge.

She said he could have ended his life in the river. + +Pao felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry and he learned his lesson. He said he would never go near the river again. He said he loved his mama and thanked her for caring for him. His mama forgave him and said she loved him too. She said he should always listen to her, because she knew what was best for him. She said the river was dangerous and could end his life. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents, they know what is best for you. Do not go near dangerous things, they could end your life. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. It is fun and fast. Sara goes first. She sits on the slide and says, "Whee!" She slides down and lands on the grass. She laughs and claps her hands. + +Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and says, "Whee!" He slides down and lands on the grass. But he does not laugh. He says, "Ow!" He holds his knee. He has a red spot on his knee. He slipped on the slide and hurt his knee. + +Sara runs to Ben. She says, "Are you okay, Ben?" She looks at his knee. She says, "You need a band-aid. I have one in my backpack. It is a triangle band-aid. It is blue and yellow. It is pretty." + +She takes out the band-aid and puts it on Ben's knee. She says, "There. Now you are better. The band-aid will help your knee heal. You are a brave boy, Ben." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. The band-aid is nice. It is a triangle. I like triangles. They have three sides and three corners. They are cool." + +Sara and Ben hug. They say, "We are healthy and happy. We like to play in the park. We like to slide on the big slide. But we have to be careful.

He opens the book and sees many pages with words and drawings. He wants to read the book. + +He calls Anna and shows her the book. "Look, Anna, a dragon book! Do you want to read it with me?" + +Anna comes and looks at the book. She likes dragons too. She nods and smiles. "Yes, Tom, let's read it together." + +They sit on the bed and start to read the book. They see the dragon fly and breathe fire. They see the knight and the princess. They see the castle and the forest. They are happy and excited. + +But then, Tom turns a page and sees a tear. The page is ripped and some words are missing. Tom is sad and angry. He says, "Oh no, who did this? Who tore the page? This is a bad thing to do!" + +Anna looks at the page and feels sorry. She says, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe someone was weak and could not hold the page well. Maybe we can fix it." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "Maybe you are right, Anna. Maybe we can save the page. How can we do that?" + +Anna thinks too. She says, "Maybe we can use some tape. Tape can stick the page together. Do you have some tape, Tom?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I have some tape in my drawer. Wait here, I will get it." + +Tom runs to his drawer and gets some tape. He comes back to the bed and gives some tape to Anna. They work together to stick the page. They are careful and gentle. They do not want to hurt the book more. + +They finish and look at the page. The page is not perfect, but it is better. The tear is smaller and the words are clearer.

They love the book and each other. They are good friends. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big building with many colors and shapes. It was a temple where people prayed and learned. Lila and Tom wanted to see what was inside, so they sneaked in when no one was looking. + +The temple was very beautiful and had many things to look at. There were candles, flowers, books, statues, and paintings. Lila and Tom touched everything they saw and made noises. They did not know that they were being very rude and naughty. + +One of the candles was very bright and warm. Lila and Tom thought it was a toy and tried to grab it. But the candle was not a toy, it was fire. Fire can burn and hurt. When Lila and Tom touched the candle, they felt a sharp pain in their fingers. They screamed and dropped the candle. The candle fell on a book and set it on fire. The fire spread quickly and soon the temple was full of smoke and flames. + +A man who worked at the temple heard the screams and ran to help. He saw Lila and Tom crying and scared. He also saw the fire and the damage. He was very angry and sad. He grabbed Lila and Tom and took them outside. He called the firemen to put out the fire. + +The man scolded Lila and Tom for being so silly and careless. He told them that the temple was a sacred and special place, not a playground. He told them that they could have hurt themselves and others, and that they had destroyed something very valuable and important. He told them that they should respect and care for other people's beliefs and belongings. + +Lila and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They apologized to the man and to the people who came to the temple. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fire is dangerous and not a toy.

They learned that being silly can have bad consequences. They promised to be more careful and thoughtful next time. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was furry and brown. It had a long tail and a sharp beak. Lily and Ben wanted to touch the bird. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The bird did not answer. It seemed angry. It made a loud noise. It opened its wings and flew away. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They followed the bird. They wanted to see where it lived. They ran and ran until they reached a big tree. The bird was on a branch. It had a nest with eggs. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily said. "The bird has babies!" + +Ben nodded. He had an idea. He picked up a stick. He threw it at the nest. He wanted to break the eggs. + +"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. "That is mean!" + +But it was too late. The stick hit the nest. The eggs cracked. The bird saw what Ben did. It seemed very angry. It made a louder noise. It flew down and attacked Ben. It bit his arm and scratched his face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "Help, help, help!" + +Lily ran to Ben. She tried to pull the bird away. But the bird was strong and fierce. It did not stop. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They wished they had not bothered the bird. They learned a lesson. They should not hurt animals. They should be kind and gentle. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a brown vest. Tom has a blue vest. They run and jump and slide. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and white. It has a red collar. The dog runs to Sara and Tom. It barks loud. + +"Hello, dog!" Sara says. She speaks to the dog. She is not afraid. She likes dogs. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. He speaks to the dog. He is afraid. He does not like dogs. + +The dog wags its tail. It licks Sara's face. Sara laughs. She pets the dog. She says, "You are a nice dog. What is your name?" + +The dog barks again. It licks Tom's face. Tom does not laugh. He pushes the dog. He says, "You are a bad dog. Leave us alone!" + +The dog looks sad. It walks away. Sara follows the dog. She says, "Don't go, dog. I want to be your friend." + +Tom stays on the slide. He says, "Sara, come back. The dog is not our friend. The dog is dirty and noisy." + +Sara does not listen. She runs to the dog. She sees a tag on its collar. She reads, "My name is Spot. I am lost. Please help me." + +Sara speaks to the dog. She says, "Spot, I will help you. I will find your home. Come with me." + +Sara and Spot walk to the park gate. They see a man. The man has a brown vest.

Tom went first and slid down fast. He laughed and shouted, "That was fun!" + +Lily wanted to try too, but she was scared. She looked at the slide and felt helpless. She did not know how to climb up or slide down. She wanted Tom to help her, but he was already running to the swings. + +Lily felt sad and alone. She wandered around the park, looking for Tom. She saw many children, but none of them were her brother. She started to cry. She wished she had a memory of how to slide. + +Then, she heard a voice. "Lily, where are you?" It was Tom. He had come back to look for her. He saw her crying and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to leave you. Do you want to slide with me?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy and safe. Tom took her hand and helped her climb up the slide. He slid down with her, holding her tight. They laughed and shouted, "That was fun!" + +They played together for a long time, until their mom came to pick them up. They told her about their adventure and how they learned to slide. Mom was proud of them and gave them a treat. They went home, feeling tired but happy. They had a new memory to share. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and licked their hands. They wanted to pet the dog, but they did not know if the dog had an owner. + +"Hello, doggy. What is your name?" Lily asked. + +The dog barked and wagged his tail. He looked happy to see them. + +"Maybe he is lost. We should help him find his home," Tom said. + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone who looked like the dog's owner. They decided to take the dog with them and ask their mom if they could keep him. + +They walked to their house, holding the dog's leash. The dog followed them and sniffed everything. He seemed curious and smart. + +They reached their house and opened the door. They saw their mom in the kitchen, making a cake. She smiled when she saw them. + +"Hi, kids. How was the park?" she asked. + +"Mom, look! We found a dog. Can we keep him?" Lily and Tom said at the same time. + +They showed their mom the dog. She looked surprised and worried. + +"Where did you find him? Does he have a collar or a tag?" she asked. + +They told her how they met the dog in the park and how they did not see anyone who looked like his owner. + +"Kids, this is a very big and scary dog. He might be dangerous or sick. We can't keep him. We have to call the animal shelter and see if they can take him," she said. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and scared. They did not want to lose their new friend. They hugged the dog and said sorry. + +The dog licked their faces and wagged his tail. He did not seem to understand. + +Just then, the doorbell rang. Mom went to answer it. She came back with a man who looked happy and relieved. + +"Kids, this is Mr. Jones. He is the owner of the dog. He has been looking for him all day. The dog's name is Rex. He ran away from his yard this morning. He is very sorry for the trouble he caused," she said. + +Lily and Tom looked at the man and the dog. They felt happy and surprised. They had saved the dog and helped him find his home. + +"Hi, Rex. We are glad you are not lost anymore.

You saved my dog and made me very happy. You are the best surprise I ever had," Mr. Jones said. + +He gave them a big smile and a small gift. It was a toy dog that looked like Rex. + +They thanked him and waved as he and Rex left. + +They went back to their mom and showed her their gift. She hugged them and said she was proud of them. + +They played with their toy dog and ate some cake. They were happy and not scared anymore. They had a good day. +Lily was an adventurous girl who loved to play with her rocket. She made it from a big box and some paper. She painted it red and blue and stuck some stars on it. She liked to pretend she was flying to the moon and meeting aliens. + +One day, she asked her brother Max to play with her. "Max, do you want to go to the moon with me in my rocket?" she said. But Max was busy playing with his cars. He ignored Lily and said, "No, rockets are silly. Cars are better." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Max was mean and boring. She decided to go to the moon by herself. She climbed into her rocket and closed the door. She counted to ten and shouted, "Blast off!" + +She imagined she was zooming through the sky and seeing stars and planets. She had fun making noises and stories. She forgot about Max and his cars. + +After a while, Max heard Lily's noises and got curious. He went to see what she was doing. He saw her rocket and knocked on the door. "Lily, can I play with you?" he said. But Lily ignored Max and said, "No, cars are silly. Rockets are better." She smiled and continued her adventure. +Sara and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play in the backyard. They have a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog. He is very friendly, but sometimes he is stubborn. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to play hide and seek. Sara says, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Ben says, "OK, but don't look." Sara closes her eyes and counts. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" + +Sara opens her eyes and looks around. She sees Spot running to the fence. He barks at the neighbor's cat. Sara says, "Spot, come here! You can't chase the cat. It is not nice." But Spot does not listen. He is stubborn. He jumps over the fence and runs after the cat. + +Sara is worried. She says, "Ben, Ben, where are you? Spot is gone. He went over the fence. We have to get him back." Ben comes out from behind the slide. He says, "I am here. I heard Spot bark. He is naughty. Let's go get him." + +Sara and Ben run to the fence. They see Spot and the cat on the other side. The cat is on a tree. Spot is under the tree. He is still barking. Sara and Ben call him. "Spot, Spot, come back! Come back to the backyard. We miss you. We love you." But Spot does not come back. He is stubborn. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They don't know what to do. They wish Spot would come back. They hear a voice. It is their mom. She says, "Sara, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you at the fence?" Sara and Ben tell her what happened. They say, "Mom, Spot is gone. He chased the cat. He is over the fence. He is stubborn. He won't come back." + +Mom says, "Don't worry. I will help you. I have a treat for Spot. He likes treats. Maybe he will come back for a treat." Mom gets a treat from the house. She goes to the fence. She shows the treat to Spot. She says, "Spot, look what I have. A treat for you. Come here, boy. Come back to the backyard. Come back to Sara and Ben. They are waiting for you." + +Spot sees the treat. He smells the treat.

He will listen. He will stay in the backyard. He will play with Sara and Ben. He loves them. They love him. They are a happy family. The end. +Anna was playing in the park with her friends. She liked to run and jump and slide. She saw a big bird in the sky. It was black and white and had a long neck. She pointed at the bird and said, "Look, a goose!" + +Her friend Ben said, "No, that's not a goose. That's a swan. Swans are very pretty and they live in the water." + +Anna wanted to see the swan up close. She ran to the pond where the swan was swimming. She saw some white feathers on the ground. She picked one up and said, "Wow, this is soft and fluffy. I want to keep it." + +She put the feather in her pocket and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw the swan looking at her. She smiled and said, "Hello, swan. You are very pretty. Can I be your friend?" + +The swan did not say anything. It opened its mouth and made a loud noise. It sounded like a honk. Anna was scared and confused. She did not know why the swan was angry. She thought it wanted to play. + +She ran back to Ben and said, "Ben, the swan is mad at me. It honked at me. Why did it do that?" + +Ben said, "Maybe it did not like that you took its feather. Feathers are important for birds. They help them fly and keep warm. You should give it back." + +Anna felt sorry for the swan. She did not want to make it sad. She took the feather out of her pocket and said, "Okay, I will give it back. I did not know it was yours. I'm sorry, swan." + +She walked to the pond again and threw the feather in the water. The swan saw the feather and swam to get it. It put the feather back on its body and looked at Anna. It did not honk this time. It nodded its head and made a soft noise. It sounded like a coo. + +Anna was happy and relieved. She thought the swan forgave her. She waved at the swan and said, "Bye, swan. Thank you for letting me see your feather. You are very pretty and nice." + +The swan waved its wing and said, "Bye, Anna. Thank you for giving me back my feather. You are very kind and brave." + +Anna and Ben went back to their friends and continued to play. They learned a new word that day. They learned that "receive" means to get something from someone. They also learned to be careful with other animals' things. They had a fun and exciting day in the park. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They are building a big tower. Anna puts the last block on top. She says, "I finish! Look at my tower!" + +Ben is angry. He wants to finish his tower too. He pushes Anna's tower. It falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. + +Anna is sad and fearful. She cries. She says, "Why did you do that? You are mean!" + +Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry. I was jealous. Can we share the blocks?" + +Anna stops crying. She says, "Okay. We can share. But don't push my tower again." + +They hug. They start to build a new tower together. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a big roar. It is a dragon. It is hungry. It wants to eat them and their blocks. + +The dragon breathes fire. The fire is hot. It burns the blocks. The blocks make a louder noise. + +Anna and Ben are very fearful. They run away. They hide behind a sofa. They hold their lungs. They hope the dragon will go away. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big lake in the woods. It was blue and shiny, and had many fish and ducks. Anna wanted to swim in the lake, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Anna said. She took off her shoes and socks and ran to the water. "The lake is not deep, and it is warm. You can splash and play with me!" + +"No, Anna, I don't want to!" Ben said. He stayed on the shore and hugged his teddy bear. "The lake is old and scary. It may have monsters or snakes. I want to go home!" + +Anna laughed and shook her head. She did not believe in monsters or snakes. She liked the lake and wanted to stay. She insisted that Ben join her. "Don't be silly, Ben, there are no monsters or snakes. The lake is ancient, but it is beautiful and friendly. Look, the fish and ducks are not afraid. They are happy and free. Please, Ben, come with me!" + +Ben looked at Anna and saw that she was having fun. He also saw that the fish and ducks were not mean or scary. He felt a little curious and a little brave. He put down his teddy bear and took off his shoes and socks. He walked slowly to the water and touched it with his toes. It was warm and soft. He smiled and took a step. Then another. Then another. Soon, he was in the lake with Anna. They splashed and played and laughed. They forgot about monsters and snakes. They enjoyed the ancient lake. +Sam and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and pretend they were pilots. They had many aeroplanes, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. They liked to measure their aeroplanes and see which one was the longest, the widest, or the highest. + +One day, they found a new aeroplane in the toy store. It was very impressive. It was shiny and silver, with wings that could move and lights that could blink. It also made a loud noise when you pressed a button. Sam and Ben wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive. They asked their mums, but they said no. + +Sam and Ben were sad. They decided to save their money and buy the aeroplane together. They did chores, sold lemonade, and collected coins. They counted their money every day and measured how much they needed. They were almost there. + +One afternoon, they went to the toy store again. They saw the impressive aeroplane on the shelf. They were very happy. They took their money and ran to the cashier. They paid for the aeroplane and thanked the lady. They were so excited. They could not wait to play with it. + +They ran outside and opened the box. They took out the aeroplane and admired it. It was even more impressive than they thought. They pressed the button and heard the noise. They moved the wings and saw the lights. They smiled at each other and said, "This is the best aeroplane ever!" + +They decided to fly it in the park. They ran to the park and found a big space. They held the aeroplane and threw it in the air. It flew high and fast. It looked amazing. Sam and Ben cheered and clapped. They watched the aeroplane soar and loop. + +But then, something bad happened. The aeroplane flew too high and too far. It went out of their sight. They could not see it anymore. They could not hear it anymore. They could not find it anymore. They looked everywhere, but it was gone. They lost their impressive aeroplane. + +Sam and Ben were very sad. They cried and hugged. They wished they had not bought the aeroplane. They wished they had kept their money. They wished they had played with their old aeroplanes. They learned a hard lesson. They went home with empty hands and broken hearts. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sam had a toy dinosaur that he liked very much. Lily had a toy skull that she found in the garage. She said it was a pirate's treasure. + +"Look at my skull!" Lily said, holding it up. "It is open and has teeth. It is scary and cool!" + +Sam looked at the skull and shook his head. "No, it is not. It is old and dirty. It is not a treasure. It is trash!" + +Lily felt angry. She did not like Sam's words. She disagreed with him. "It is not trash! It is a treasure! You are mean and silly!" + +Sam felt angry too. He did not like Lily's words. He disagreed with her. "It is trash! It is not a treasure! You are rude and dumb!" + +They started to yell at each other. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to keep their toys away from each other. + +Their mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw them fighting and holding their toys. She felt sad and worried. She wanted them to be nice and happy. + +"Sam, Lily, what is going on?" she asked. "Why are you yelling and fighting?" + +They both told her their stories. They both said the other one was wrong and mean. They both wanted mom to agree with them. + +Mom listened to them and sighed. She knew they both loved their toys. She knew they both had different ideas. She knew they both disagreed. + +But she also knew they both were her children. She loved them both very much. She wanted them to love each other too. + +She hugged them and said, "Sam, Lily, I understand you both have your own toys and your own opinions. It is okay to disagree sometimes. But it is not okay to be mean and hurtful. You should respect each other and share your toys. You should be kind and gentle. You should be friends and siblings. Can you do that?" + +Sam and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew mom was right. They nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we can do that." + +They apologized to each other and hugged. They decided to play together again. They decided to swap their toys and learn more about them. They decided to have fun and be happy. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you both. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +Sam and Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +They followed mom inside, holding their toys and each other's hands. They were friends and siblings again. They agreed on that. +Lily and Ben were playing near the cliff. They liked to look at the sea and the birds. They had a bottle of water and some crackers. + +"Ben, I am thirsty. Can I drink some water?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Here you go." Ben gave her the bottle. + +Lily drank some water and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very useful." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very kind." + +They ate some crackers and watched the sea. They saw a big boat with a flag. + +"Look, Lily. What is that?" Ben pointed. + +"That is a boat, Ben. It has people and things on it. Maybe they are going somewhere." Lily said. + +"Maybe they are going to an island. Do you want to go to an island, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben. That would be fun. We could play on the sand and swim in the water. But we have to be careful. We cannot go too close to the cliff. It is high and steep. We could fall and get hurt." Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily. You are right. We have to be safe. We can stay here and watch the boat. Maybe it will wave to us." Ben said. + +They waved to the boat and hoped it would see them. They were happy and curious. They liked to play near the cliff. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and sing together. They have a big show today.

She pointed to it with her hook, and it hopped closer and closer to her. She was so delighted that she decided to keep it. She named it Timothy. + +Then, one day, Timothy flew away and Jane was very sad. She walked around pointing the hook at everything searching for her friend. Everywhere she went, she asked people if they had seen a charming little bird. But no one could help her. + +Then, one day, as Jane pointed the hook into the sky, she saw Timothy in the distance. He had come back to her! She was so happy. She scooped her friend up in her hands and they hugged. Jane was so thankful to have her friend back, she hugged Timothy close and never let him go. From then on, they were always together. +The sun was shining and the sky was blue. It was a beautiful day for his family. + +Jimmy was playing catch with his dad in the yard. He loved playing catch.
