She used a big machine that made the bread hot and brown. She put butter and jam on the toast and ate it with milk. + +One day, Anna wanted to improve her toast. She thought it would be more fun to put cheese and ketchup on it. She took the cheese and ketchup from the fridge and put them on the bread.

She sees Tom with the pillow. + +"I want to make a green shirt for my doll," Tom says. + +"You can't use the pillow for that. It is not thread. It is fabric. And it is not yours. It is mine. You will ruin it," Mom says. + +"But Sara won't give me any of her green thread. She is mean," Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She knows Sara and Tom like to play with their dolls, but they also need to share and be nice. She has an idea. + +"Come with me, Tom. I have something for you," Mom says. + +She takes Tom to her sewing box. She opens it and shows him many colors of thread. She finds a green one and gives it to Tom. + +"Here you go, Tom.

She hoped there were no more spiders on her tray. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Max ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He was very quiet and still. He thought he had a good hidden spot. + +But Lily was very good at seeking. She looked around the park and saw a small band of Max's shirt sticking out from behind the tree. She smiled and ran towards the tree. She shouted, "I found you, Max!" + +Max was surprised and tried to run away, but he tripped on a root and fell on the ground. He scraped his knee and it hurt a lot. He started to cry.

I need a band-aid!" + +Lily remembered that she had a band-aid in her pocket. She took it out and said, "Here, I have a band-aid for you. Let me wipe your knee first."

You are a good friend." He gave her a hug and said, "Do you want to play hide and seek again?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, but this time, you be the seeker and I be the hider. And be careful where you run, okay?" + +Max agreed and said, "Okay, I will. And I will find you, Lily. You can't hide from me!" + +They laughed and ran to play again. They had fun and forgot about the scrape. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted to see what was in the big box. The box was in the closet, and it had a lock on it. Mom and Dad said they could not open the box, but they did not say why. + +"Let's try to unlock the box," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +"But we don't have the key," Lily said. "How can we unlock it?" + +Tom looked around the room. He saw a paper clip on the desk. He bent it into a shape.

He said, "Wow, what is this?" + +Lily came closer and looked at the clock. She said, "It looks like a time machine. Maybe it can take us to another time." + +Tom said, "Let's try it. Maybe we can go to the time of the dinosaurs, or the time of the pirates, or the time of the fairies." + +He pressed the button again and the clock made another sound. The room started to spin and blur. Tom and Lily felt dizzy and excited. They did not know where they were going. + +They stopped spinning and opened their eyes.

They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +Then they came to a big cage with a tall bird. It had a long neck, black and white feathers, and big eyes. It was an ostrich. + +"Look, mom, a big chicken!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, that's not a chicken. That's an ostrich. It's a different kind of bird. It can run very fast, but it can't fly," mom explained. + +"Why can't it fly, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Because it's too chubby, Lila. Its wings are too small and its body is too heavy. It needs strong legs to run away from danger," mom said. + +Lila and Ben nodded. They understood what mom said. They thought the ostrich was funny and cute. + +They waved at the ostrich and said hello. The ostrich looked at them and made a loud noise. It sounded like a honk. + +"Wow, it can talk too!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, that's not talking. That's just the sound it makes. It can't understand us, and we can't understand it," mom said. + +"Oh, I see. Well, bye-bye, ostrich.

Maybe it does not want to play with us." + +Ben shakes his head. He is not scared. He thinks the dog is nice. + +"Come on, Lily," he says. "It will be fun.

She screams and falls to the ground. Ben runs to her and hugs her. + +"Sara, Sara, are you okay?" he asks. + +Sara cries and holds her arm. It is red and swollen. She is scared and sorry. + +"Ben, I am sorry. I should have listened to you. You were right. The tree was too high," she says. + +Ben helps her get up and takes her to the bench. He gives her his water bottle and his teddy bear. He calls his mom and tells her what happened. + +"It is okay, Sara. I am not mad at you. I am glad you are not hurt more. Mom will come and take us to the doctor. You will be fine," he says. + +Sara smiles and hugs him. She is glad he is her friend. She learns her lesson. She will not climb the tree again. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +"Look, Leo, there is a nest on that branch!" Mia said. "Maybe there are birds inside." + +"Let's go and see!" Leo said. They climbed the tree carefully. They reached the branch with the nest. + +The nest was made of sticks and leaves. It was round and cozy. Mia and Leo peeked inside. They saw four small eggs. They were blue and speckled. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Mia said. "Do you think the birds will come back soon?" + +"I don't know," Leo said. "Maybe they are looking for food." + +Mia and Leo heard a loud squawk. They looked up and saw a big bird flying towards them. It had black feathers and a yellow beak.

She says, "You cannot have the car until you learn to share. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Ben and Sam are very upset. They do not have the car. They do not have any other cars or trucks. They do not have each other. They go to their rooms and cry. They are lonely and bored. They wish they had been nicer. They wish they had been dependable. They wish they had the car. But it is too late. The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found an old house with a broken door and a big garden. They wanted to see what was inside, so they went in. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Ben said, pointing at the dusty books, jars, and candles. "Maybe someone lives here." + +"Maybe it's a witch!" Anna said, feeling scared. "Let's go, Ben. I don't like it here." + +But Ben was curious. He saw a shiny necklace on a table and picked it up. It had a star and a moon on it. "Look, Anna, it's pretty!" he said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice behind them. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" It was a woman with long black hair and a black dress. She looked angry and had a stick in her hand. + +"A witch!" Anna screamed. She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the door. But the door was locked. The witch had used her magic to trap them. + +"Please, let us go!" Ben cried. "We're sorry, we didn't mean to take anything!" + +The witch laughed. "Too late, my dears. You have touched my ancient necklace, and now you belong to me. I need two children for my spell tonight. You will make a fine sacrifice." + +Anna and Ben were very afraid. They hugged each other and prayed for help. They wished they had never entered the old house. They hoped someone would find them and save them. But no one came. The witch took them to her basement, where a big pot was boiling. She threw them in and said some strange words. Then she smiled and waited for her spell to work. +Sara and Ben were having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They liked waffles with syrup and butter. Mom made them four waffles, two for each. Sara and Ben ate their first waffles very fast. They were yummy and warm. + +"Can I have another waffle, please?" Sara asked Mom. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. + +"Sure, sweeties. Here you go." Mom gave them each another waffle. "But don't forget to brush your teeth after, okay?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They poured syrup and butter on their second waffles. They were about to take a bite, when they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck with a funny picture on it. It was the ice cream truck! + +"Ice cream, ice cream!" Sara and Ben shouted. They dropped their forks and ran to the door. + +"Wait, wait!" Mom called. "You can't have ice cream now. You haven't finished your waffles. And you haven't brushed your teeth." + +"But Mom, it's the ice cream truck!" Sara said. "It might go away." + +"Yeah, Mom, please!" Ben said. "We want ice cream." + +Mom sighed. She knew how much they loved ice cream. She looked at their pale faces and their big eyes. She smiled. + +"Okay, okay. You can have ice cream. But only one scoop each. And you have to come back and finish your waffles. And you have to brush your teeth. Deal?" + +"Deal!" Sara and Ben said. They hugged Mom and thanked her. They put on their shoes and ran to the ice cream truck. They chose their favorite flavors and paid with the coins Mom gave them. They licked their ice cream happily. + +But they forgot something. They forgot their waffles. And they forgot to brush their teeth. +Sam was a lazy boy. He did not like to help his mom and dad with anything. He only liked to play with his toys and watch TV. One day, his mom and dad said they were going to visit his aunt and uncle in the desert. Sam did not want to go. He said it was too hot and boring. + +"Please, Sam, be nice and come with us," his mom said. "Your aunt and uncle have a big house and a lot of fun things to do. You can play with your cousin Tim and see the cactus and the animals." + +Sam did not care. He said he wanted to stay home and play. His mom and dad were sad, but they let him stay with his grandma, who lived next door. + +Sam was happy. He said goodbye to his mom and dad and ran to his room. He played with his toys and watched TV all day. He did not listen to his grandma, who told him to eat his lunch and take a nap. He said he was not hungry and not sleepy. + +The next day, Sam woke up late. He was bored. He looked out the window and saw his grandma's garden. He saw some flowers and some cactus. He thought they looked funny and prickly. He decided to go outside and touch them. + +He put on his shoes and ran to the garden. He saw a big cactus with a lot of spines. He thought it looked like a monster. He wanted to poke it and see what would happen. He reached out his hand and touched the cactus. + +"Ow!" Sam screamed. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked and saw some spines stuck in his skin. He tried to pull them out, but they hurt more. He cried and ran to his grandma. + +"Grandma, grandma, help me!" he shouted. "I touched the cactus and it hurt me!" + +His grandma heard him and came outside. She saw his hand and gasped. She took him inside and tried to take out the spines. She said he was very silly and naughty. She said he should have listened to her and not touched the cactus. She said he might get an infection and have to go to the doctor. + +Sam was scared and sorry. He wished he had gone with his mom and dad to the desert. He wished he had not been so lazy and bored. He wished he had not touched the cactus. He lay on the couch and cried. He had a bad day. +Sara and her mom are walking to the park. Sara likes the park. She likes to swing and slide and play with her friends. Mom likes the park too. She likes to sit on the bench and read her book. + +On the way to the park, they have to cross a big street. The street has a lot of cars and buses and trucks. They make a lot of noise. Sara calls them traffic. Mom says they have to wait for the green light before they cross the street. The green light means go. The red light means stop. + +Sara notices a red car in the traffic. The red car is shiny and fast. Sara likes the red car. She points to it and says, "Look, mom, a red car!" + +Mom looks at the red car and smiles. She says, "Yes, Sara, that is a red car. It is very pretty. Do you like red cars?" + +Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom, I like red cars. They are my favorite. Can we have a red car?" + +Mom laughs and says, "Maybe someday, Sara, maybe someday. But for now, we have to cross the street. The light is green. Let's go." + +Sara and mom hold hands and cross the street. They are careful and look both ways. They reach the other side and walk to the park. Sara is happy. She can't wait to swing and slide and play with her friends. Mom is happy too. She can't wait to sit on the bench and read her book. They both love the park. +Mark likes to dance. He dances in his room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. He dances when he is happy, when he is sad, and when he is bored. He dances with his toys, with his dog, and with his mom. + +One day, Mark wants to dance with his dad. But his dad is busy. He is working on his laptop. He has many papers and pens on the table. He says, "Mark, I have to finish this. Please don't make a mess. Be a good boy and play with your blocks." + +Mark is sad. He does not want to play with his blocks. He wants to dance with his dad. He thinks, "Maybe if I dance for him, he will like it. Maybe he will stop working and dance with me." He puts on his favorite music. He starts to dance. He jumps, he spins, he twirls.

He sees the papers, the pens, the laptop. He sees the mess. He says, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to dance with you. I wanted to make you happy. I didn't mean to make a mess." + +His dad feels sorry. He sees Mark's face. He sees the tears, the fear, the sadness. He says, "I'm sorry, too, Mark. I was too busy. I didn't pay attention to you. I know you like to dance. I like to dance, too. But we can't dance on the table, on the chair, on the floor. We can't dance with the papers, with the pens, with the laptop. We have to be tidy. We have to respect our things. We have to respect each other." + +He hugs Mark. He says, "How about we clean up this mess together? Then we can dance in the living room. We can dance with the music, with the dog, with mom. We can dance as a family. Would you like that?" + +Mark nods. He smiles. He says, "Yes, dad. I would like that. I love you, dad." + +He loves his dad. His dad loves him. They clean up the mess. They go to the living room. They dance. They are happy. +Lily and Max were friends who liked to play games. One day, they decided to have a race around the park. They found a shiny trophy in the grass and agreed that the winner would get it. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and they both ran as fast as they could. Max was faster than Lily and soon he was ahead of her. He looked back and saw Lily trying to catch up. He smiled and ran faster. + +But then he tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and dropped the trophy. Lily heard him and stopped running. She ran back to him and saw him lying on the ground. + +"Are you okay, Max?" she asked, worried. + +"No, I'm not okay. My knee hurts and I lost the trophy," he said, sobbing. + +Lily felt sorry for him and hugged him. She picked up the trophy and gave it to him. + +"Here, you can have the trophy. You were faster than me and you deserve it," she said, kindly. + +Max looked at her and smiled. He took the trophy and thanked her. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. But I don't want the trophy. It's just a thing. You are more important to me," he said, sincerely. + +He gave the trophy back to her and they hugged again. They decided to share the trophy and take turns to keep it. They walked back to their homes, holding hands. They felt happy and proud of each other. The trophy was shiny, but it was also uncomfortable to hold. They liked each other more than the trophy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big thing with wheels and a door. It is a bus. They want to go inside and see what is there. + +"Come on, Ben, let's rush to the bus!" Lily says. She runs fast to the bus. Ben follows her. + +They get to the bus and see that the door is open. They go inside and look around. They see seats, windows, and a big wheel.

What is that noise?" + +Tom looks at the window. It is dark and he cannot see anything. He thinks it might be a monster or a thief. He says, "I don't know, Mia. Maybe we should hide under the pillows." + +Mia nods and grabs her pillow. She puts it over her head and curls up in her bed. Tom does the same. They hope the noise will go away. + +But the noise does not go away. It gets louder and louder. Tom and Mia hear a thump and a scratch. They are very scared and want to cry. They hold their pillows tight and wish for their mom and dad. + +Suddenly, the door opens and the light turns on. Tom and Mia peek from under their pillows. They see their mom and dad standing in the doorway. They look happy and surprised. + +"Hi, kids. We're home. Sorry we're late. We had some car trouble. What are you doing under the pillows?" their mom asks. + +Tom and Mia jump out of their beds and run to their parents. They hug them and tell them about the noise. Their dad smiles and says, "Oh, that was just the wind. It was blowing hard and it knocked over a trash can. It also made the window open and close. There's nothing to be afraid of." + +Tom and Mia feel silly and relieved. They are glad their parents are home and that there is no monster or thief. They say sorry for being scared and ask their parents to tuck them in. Their mom and dad kiss them and say good night. They close the window and the door and turn off the light. + +Tom and Mia snuggle in their beds with their pillows. They are not scared anymore. They are happy and sleepy. They close their eyes and dream of nice things. +Timmy likes to hold his clock. It is a big clock with a red face and two black hands. It makes a tick-tock sound that Timmy likes to hear. He holds it close to his ear and pretends it is talking to him. + +One day, Timmy takes his clock to the park. He wants to show it to his friends. He sees Lily and Ben playing with a ball. He runs to them and says, "Look at my clock! It is a big and red clock. It makes a tick-tock sound. Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily and Ben are curious. They stop playing with the ball and look at Timmy's clock. They think it is a strange toy. They ask Timmy, "What does it do? Does it have buttons? Does it light up? Does it play music?" + +Timmy shakes his head. He says, "No, it does not do those things. It is a clock. It tells the time. It is a harmless clock. It does not hurt anyone. It just makes a tick-tock sound. Listen!" He holds the clock to their ears. + +Lily and Ben listen to the clock. They hear the tick-tock sound. They think it is a funny sound. They giggle and say, "It sounds like a frog. Ribbit, ribbit. Can we hold it too?" + +Timmy smiles and nods. He says, "Yes, you can hold it too. It is my clock, but I can share it with you.

He pushes the children and shouts at them. He says they are stupid and lying. He says the diamond is his. + +But he is wrong again. Anna and Ben are not stupid and lying. They are honest and clever. They do not let go of the box. They shout for help. They say the man is a thief and a liar. They say the diamond is theirs. + +They are right. A policeman hears them and sees them. He comes over and sees the man and the box. He asks what is going on. He listens to the children and the man. He looks at the stone. He knows it is not a real diamond. He knows it is a fake. He knows the man is a thief and a liar. He knows the children are honest and clever. + +He takes the man and puts him in his car. He says he will take him to jail. He says he is sorry for what he did. He says he is a bad man. + +He gives the box back to the children. He says they can keep it. He says it is their diamond. He says they are brave and smart.

She covers her ears and runs to Mom. + +"Ben, that was not nice!" Mom says. "You scared your sister. Say sorry to her." + +Ben feels bad. He did not mean to make Anna cry. He picks up the toy firework and the bag. He walks over to Anna and gives her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," he says. "It was just a joke. I won't do it again." + +Anna wipes her tears and smiles. She forgives Ben. She takes her teddy bear out of the bag and gives him a kiss. + +"It's okay, Ben," she says. "Let's go see the real fireworks. They will be beautiful and fun." + +Mom and Dad smile and hold their hands. They are ready to go. They walk to the car and drive to the park. They find a good spot and spread the blanket.

What?" + +Lily says, "Nacho cheese!" + +Ben laughs and says, "That is a funny joke! I get it! Nacho cheese sounds like not your cheese!" + +Lily laughs and says, "Yes, it does! Do you have a cheese joke, too?" + +Ben thinks for a moment and then says, "Yes, I do. What do you call a cheese that is scared?" + +Lily thinks for a moment and then says, "I don't know. What?" + +Ben says, "Cottage cheese!" + +Lily laughs and says, "That is a funny joke, too! I get it! Cottage cheese sounds like coddled cheese!" + +They laugh and eat more cheese.

This is an opera!" + +Sara and Ben's parents are very embarrassed. They grab Sara and Ben and take them out of the opera house. They scold them. They say, "Sara and Ben, you are very naughty.

They just wanted to have fun. They say, "We are sorry. We did not know. We will not joke with the opera people again. We will be honest and nice." + +Sara and Ben's parents hug them. They say, "We love you. We know you are good kids. But you have to learn when to joke and when not to joke. Joking is fun, but not at the opera. The opera is serious and beautiful. Maybe when you are older, you will like it too." +One day, a boy and a girl went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many leaves and a bird on a branch. The bird had a red top on its head and sang a pretty song. + +"Look, mom, a bird!" the boy said. + +"Yes, that is a cardinal. It is a kind of bird that likes to live here," mom said. + +"Can we talk to the bird?" the girl asked. + +"You can try, but the bird may not understand you.

"Let's put this on our lips. We will look like mommies." + +"Okay!" Lily says. She takes a pink lipstick. They put on the lipstick and smile at each other. They think they look very pretty. + +"Let's kiss our dolls," Anna says. She holds her doll and gives it a big kiss. Lily does the same with her doll. They giggle and hug each other. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is Anna's mommy. She comes into the room and sees the girls and the box. + +"Anna, Lily, what are you doing?" she asks. She looks angry. "This is my makeup. You are not allowed to touch it. And look at your lips. They are all messy. You need to wash them right now." + +Anna and Lily feel scared.

They are for a party," the man says. + +"Please, please, can we have one balloon each?" Tom and Anna beg. + +"No, you can't. Go away and play somewhere else," the man says. + +Tom and Anna are very sad. They really want a balloon. They think the balloons are incredible. They look at the truck and see a red balloon and a blue balloon. They are very shiny and pretty. + +"Let's take them when the man is not looking," Tom whispers to Anna. + +"No, Tom, that is not nice. That is stealing. We have to resist," Anna whispers back. + +"But they are so beautiful. And the man is mean. He won't miss them," Tom says. + +"No, Tom, we have to keep our promise.

Tom calls softly. + +The squirrel hears Tom. It looks at him with its black eyes. It stops eating the acorn. It makes a noise. It sounds like "chirp, chirp". + +"Hello, Tom!" Lily calls softly. + +The squirrel hears Lily. It looks at her with its black eyes. It drops the acorn. It makes another noise. It sounds like "chirp, chirp". + +Tom and Lily smile. They think the squirrel is talking to them. They call back to the squirrel. They say "chirp, chirp". The squirrel calls back to them. It says "chirp, chirp". They have a fun conversation. + +The sun is shining. The air is mild. Tom and Lily are happy. They have made a new friend. The squirrel is happy too. It has found some nice humans.

The horse makes a loud noise. Lily and Tom are scared. + +They run to the man and say, "Stop! Stop! You are hurting the horse! The horse is nice and strong. He does not need the whip. He needs love and food and water." + +The man is angry. He says, "Go away! This is my horse. I can do what I want. You are just little kids. You know nothing. The horse is lazy and stubborn. He needs the whip to work hard and fast." + +He raises the whip to hit the horse again. But the horse is tired and sad. He does not want to work anymore. He kicks the man with his back legs. The man falls to the ground. He drops the whip. He does not move. + +Lily and Tom are shocked. They do not know what to do. They look at the horse. The horse looks at them. He has tears in his eyes. He is hurt and lonely. He wants a friend. + +Lily and Tom want to help the horse. But they are afraid of the man. They are afraid of the whip. They are afraid of the police. They run away.

He liked to make things with his toys. He liked to learn new words and numbers. + +One day, Tom saw a big bear in a book. The bear was brown and furry. It had a big nose and sharp teeth. It lived in the woods and ate honey and fish. Tom was eager to know more about the bear. He asked his mom and dad many questions. + +Mom and dad told Tom that the bear was a wild animal. It was not a pet or a friend. It could be dangerous if it was angry or scared. They said Tom should never go near a bear or touch it. They said Tom should be careful and quiet in the woods. + +Tom listened to his mom and dad. He understood that the bear was different from him. He still liked to look at the bear in the book.

I like to match things! It is fun!" Her mom said, "I know, Sara, you are very good at matching things. But now we have to put the plates back in the cupboard. We need them for dinner." Sara said, "Okay, mom, I will help you. But can I match them again tomorrow?" Her mom said, "Sure, Sara, you can match them again tomorrow. But only after you eat your breakfast and brush your teeth." Sara said, "Okay, mom, I will do that. I love you, mom!"

"Can we swim to the cloud?" + +Tom laughed. "No, silly, we can't swim to the cloud. The cloud is too high and too far. We can only swim in the water." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to touch the cloud. She wondered how it felt. She thought it was soft and cool. + +"Maybe we can pretend to swim to the cloud," Tom said. "We can close our eyes and imagine we are flying." + +Lily smiled. She liked to pretend. She closed her eyes and said, "Okay, let's pretend. I'm a bird and you're a plane. We can fly to the cloud together." + +Tom closed his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go. I'm a fast plane and you're a pretty bird. We can fly to the cloud and play with the sheep." + +They moved their arms and legs in the water. They made sounds like birds and planes. They felt the sun and the wind on their faces. They had fun. + +They opened their eyes and saw the cloud. It was still there, but it had changed.

And what do we do on Thanksgiving?" + +Sara and Tom say, "We eat a big turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce. We also say thank you for all the good things we have." + +Mom nods and says, "Yes, we do. And we also bake a special pie for dessert. Do you know what kind of pie it is?" + +Sara and Tom think hard.

And why are your toys everywhere? You need to clean up and be quiet." + +Ben and Lily do not answer. They keep playing with the tank. They think Mom is stupid. They do not like to clean up. They like to have fun. + +Mom gets angry. She says, "Ben and Lily, did you hear me? I said clean up and be quiet. If you do not answer me, I will take away your tank." + +Ben and Lily still do not answer. They think Mom is joking. They do not think she will take away their tank. They love their tank. They drive the tank faster and louder. + +Mom is very angry. She says, "That's it. You are not listening to me. You are being naughty. I will take away your tank now." She walks to the tank and grabs it. + +Ben and Lily are shocked. They do not want to lose their tank. They say, "No, Mom, no! Please, do not take our tank. We love our tank. We are sorry. We will answer you. We will clean up. We will be quiet. Please, give us our tank back." + +Mom looks at them. She sees that they are sorry. She says, "OK, I will give you your tank back. But you have to promise me that you will answer me when I talk to you. And you have to clean up your toys. And you have to be quiet. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nod.

They ran to the bush and picked some blueberries to eat. + +"Yum, these are so sweet and juicy!" Lily said. + +"Can I have some more?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but we have to listen for the farmer. He might get angry if he sees us taking his blueberries," Lily said. + +They ate some more blueberries, but then they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from my blueberries! They are not for you!" It was the farmer, and he looked very mad. + +Lily and Ben dropped their blueberries and ran away as fast as they could. They ran to the pond, where they saw a swan swimming in the water. + +"Wow, look at the swan! It is so white and graceful!" Ben said. + +"It is beautiful, but we have to be quiet.

They see some sticks and a rope. Sam has an idea. + +"Let's tie the rope to a stick and make a fishing rod," he says. "Maybe we can catch something in the pit." + +"Good idea," Mia says. "But what can we use for bait?" + +They look around and find some leaves and berries. They tie them to the end of the rope. Then they lower the rope into the pit. + +"Come on, fish, bite!" Sam says. + +They wait and wait. Nothing happens. They are about to give up when they feel a tug on the rope. + +"Wow, we got something!" Mia says. "Pull, pull!" + +They pull the rope with all their strength. They see something coming out of the pit. It is not a fish. It is a big, thick, furry animal. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is a bear! + +"Help, help!" Sam and Mia scream. "It's a bear!" + +They drop the rope and run away. The bear is angry. It roars and chases them. They run to the swings and climb up. The bear cannot reach them. It growls and shakes the rope. + +"Go away, bear!" Sam and Mia shout. "You are not our fish!" + +They are very scared. They wish they never went to the pit.

We just wanted to have fun." + +Their moms hugged them and said, "We know you wanted to have fun, but you have to be careful. Some things are not safe to play with. You have to look for signs and listen to us. We love you and we want you to be healthy and happy." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They learned their lesson. They went home with their moms and took a bath. They washed off the dirt and felt better. They promised to be more careful next time. They still had fun, but they also learned to be safe. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball.

Lily and Tom said. + +Mommy forgave them and took them home. She gave them a bath and a snack. She told them a story about a boy who went to a smelly place and learned his lesson. + +Lily and Tom listened and nodded.

"You'll just have to guess!" + +Jack was feeling very jealous and wanted to know what was inside. He hopped around the garden trying to get a peek, but he couldn't see. Eventually he decided to ask again. + +"Please, show me what's in your case," he said. + +Dennis was smiling now. "Very well," he said.

She could not reach the medal but she kept trying. She kept jumping, stretching and stretching until she made it. + +When she grabbed hold of the medal it sparkled in the sun and she felt so proud. She thought to herself, nothing can ever stop me if I keep trying. + +The moral of the story is, if you work hard and never give up, you can achieve any goal. Be nice and do the right thing and you will always be rewarded. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Molly. One day Molly was feeling very excited because her mommy had promised her a big surprise. She was jumping around and laughing, trying to guess what the surprise would be. + +When it was time to find out, Molly's mommy brought out a large blueberry pie and smiled. "It's as big as a house!" Molly shouted with joy. + +Molly then had to learn how to balance the pie on her head. Her mommy kept laughing and she kept wobbling around, because it was so funny to watch! Eventually, she got the hang of it and she was able to balance the pie perfectly on her head. + +Molly was so happy with herself. She felt so crazy that she could keep such a big pie balanced like that! She skipped all the way to the park to show her friends. + +When she arrived, her friends were amazed by her skill.

When he reached closer, he saw it was a jellyfish. Joe thought it was so cool, he had never seen one before. + +He decided he wanted to take the jellyfish with him. He picked it up, it felt slimy and slimy. He put it in a bucket of water and brought it back to the boat. + +Unfortunately, Joe didn't realise that jellyfish could only survive in the ocean. Without the original salt water, the jellyfish quickly died, leaving Joe very sad. He buried his special jellyfish in a sandy beach. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a spring. It was beautiful and happy. Every day, the spring would soak into the earth. + +One day, it was time for the spring to soak. But the ground was dry and hard.

The other friend quickly said "Don't worry. I'll help you feel better". + +The second friend then found a clear knife. The first friend asked "What's that for?". + +The second friend said "The knife can help but it can also hurt. Let me show you". + +The second friend then used the knife to carefully pick out the dirt from the scrape. The first friend felt much better and stopped weeping. + +The second friend put the knife away and said "We should never use a knife to hurt someone. It's always better to help than to harm". + +The two friends hugged and went back to playing again. The friends remembered the moral of the story and never used knives to hurt each other. +Once there were two friends. Jack and Jill. They had a birdcage that was black. They didn't always agree on how to take care of it. Jack wanted to feed the bird, but Jill wanted to clean the birdcage. They disagreed. They argued and argued until they realized the best solution. They both decided to do both, Jill would feed the bird and Jack would clean the birdcage. They were happy and the little bird in the black birdcage was happy to have two friends taking care of it. +It was a cold winter day, and the snow was falling from the sky.

It was something he had been wanting almost all winter - a big sundae! Spike felt so spoiled, but he loved it. + +After eating the sundae, Spike started to get really tired. His parents put him to bed early so that he could get a goodnight's sleep.

Everyone was so happy to play together again and it was a great day. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Joy was walking through the forest. As she wandered, she came across a big gray wolf.

Do you want to see it?" + +Joy nodded her head yes and the wolf showed her a collar made of rough leather. + +The wolf said, "This is a special collar that will protect you from the creatures of the forest." Joy thanked the wolf and took the collar. She put it around her neck and it fit her perfectly. + +From that day forward, Joy always wore the rough leather collar when she went into the forest. It kept her safe from the creatures of the forest. Joy was grateful to the wolf for his kind gesture. +John was very glad. Today he was going to fly a kite.

But none of the creatures answered - it was too dark for them to hear her. She was disappointed and realized the night was not as incredible as she had thought. + +However, she still wanted to find out if the monsters were out there. So, she shouted even louder and said, “I'm not afraid of you!†Again, there was no reply. + +Charlie then made an incredible mistake. She shouted out so loud, “Come out and show yourselves!†that she woke up her parents. Her parents were very angry and said, “No more shouting!†+ +The moral of the story is that it is not always wise to think you are braver than you really are.

From then on, the cat was happy and never tried to steal anything ever again. +Mama and Thomas went to the restaurant. Thomas looked all around. He saw tall tables with colorful chairs, lots of happy people, and some cooks stirring in the kitchen.
