Maybe the hill is a monster. Maybe it's angry that we climbed on it. Maybe it wants to eat us." Lily said. + +They were very scared. They grabbed their backpacks and water bottles and ran down the hill as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house. They hugged their parents and told them what happened. + +Their parents listened and smiled. They were not angry or worried. They were proud and amused. + +"Kids, you are very charming and adventurous. But you are also very silly. The hill is not a monster. It's a volcano. It's a mountain that spits fire and rocks sometimes. It's very rare and special. It's not angry or hungry. It's just doing what volcanoes do. It's not dangerous if you stay away from it. It's part of nature. It's something to admire and respect, not to fear." Their parents said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt silly and relieved. They learned something new. They still liked the hill, but they also liked their home. They decided to make a scrapbook with their picture and some facts about volcanoes. They also decided to explore other places, but with more caution and curiosity. They were still best friends. They still liked to play outside in the sun. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toy ship in the bathtub. They pretended to be pirates and sailors, and made the ship sail across the water. They also made noises like cannons and swords. + +"Ahoy, matey! I see a treasure island ahead!" Tom said, pointing to a soap bar. + +"Let's go get it, captain!" Mia replied, steering the ship towards the soap. + +But as they got closer, they saw a big rubber duck guarding the soap. It had a mean look on its face and a red hat on its head. + +"Quack, quack! This is my island! Go away, you scurvy dogs!" the duck said, flapping its wings. + +Tom and Mia were scared of the duck. They tried to turn the ship around, but they were too clumsy. They bumped into the faucet and made the water splash everywhere. + +"Uh-oh! We're sinking!" Tom cried, as the ship filled with water. + +"Help! Help!" Mia shouted, as the duck laughed. + +They grabbed the ship and jumped out of the bathtub. They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom! There's a mean duck in the bathtub! He took our treasure and sank our ship!" they said, holding the wet ship. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She took the ship and dried it with a towel. + +"Don't worry, my little pirates. The duck is just a toy. He can't hurt you. And the soap is not a treasure. It's for washing. Why don't you go back and play nicely with him?" she said, giving them the ship. + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They felt silly for being afraid of a toy duck. They decided to give him another chance. + +"Okay, mom. We'll go back and play. Maybe the duck wants to be our friend." they said, taking the ship. + +They went back to the bathtub and saw the duck still sitting on the soap. They approached him slowly and said: + +"Hi, duck. We're sorry for trying to take your island. Do you want to play with us and our ship?" + +The duck looked at them and quacked. He nodded his head and moved the soap closer to them. + +"Quack, quack! Sure, I want to play. You can have some of my island. And I can be your crew. What's your name?" + +Tom and Mia smiled. They introduced themselves and the ship. They invited the duck to join them on their adventure. They forgot about their fear and had fun together. They learned that the duck was not mean, but lonely. And they made a new friend. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big storm in the sky. The storm was loud and scary. It made dark clouds and rain and wind. + +Lily and Max wanted to go home, but they had a problem. They both had only one toy, a blue car. They both liked the blue car very much. They did not want to share it. They started to fight over the blue car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +The storm got closer and closer. It made thunder and lightning. Lily and Max were still fighting. They did not see the storm. They did not hear their moms calling them. + +Then, something amazing happened. A big bird flew over the park. The bird was white and graceful. It had long wings and a long neck. It was a swan. The swan saw Lily and Max fighting. It saw the storm. It wanted to help. + +The swan swooped down and grabbed the blue car in its beak. It flew away with the car. Lily and Max stopped fighting. They looked up and saw the swan. They saw the car. They were shocked and sad. + +But then, they saw something else. The swan flew to a pond. It dropped the car in the water. It swam to a nest. In the nest, there were four baby swans. The baby swans were happy. They played with the car. They splashed and quacked. + +Lily and Max realized that the swan needed the car more than they did. They felt sorry for fighting. They felt happy for the swan and the babies. They smiled and hugged. They ran to their moms. They said sorry and thank you. They went home, away from the storm. They were still best friends. +Sara likes to play with her dad's files. They are smooth and shiny and have many colors. She likes to name them after her friends and animals. She has a red file for Ruby, a blue file for Ben, a green file for Lily, and a yellow file for Leo. She also has a brown file for Bear, a pink file for Piggy, and a purple file for Kitty. + +One day, Sara wants to show her files to her mom. She takes them from her dad's desk and puts them in her backpack. She runs to the kitchen where her mom is making lunch. She says, "Mom, look at my files! They are so smooth and pretty! I named them all!" + +Mom smiles and says, "That's very nice, Sara. But those are not your files. They are your dad's files. He needs them for his work. You should not take them without asking. They are very important and you could lose them or damage them." + +Sara feels sad and sorry. She did not know that her dad's files were not for playing. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to show you. I did not mean to be bad. Can I give them back to Dad?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to apologize to Dad and tell him what you did. He might be upset, but he will forgive you if you are honest and sorry. Then, you can help him put his files back in order. And maybe, he will let you play with some of his old files that he does not need anymore. How does that sound?" + +Sara nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I will do that. Thank you for telling me. I love you and Dad." She hugs her mom and takes her backpack. She goes to find her dad and tell him the truth. She hopes he will not be too angry and still love her. She also hopes he will let her play with some of his files. She thinks they are the best toys ever. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red flowers. Sara says, "Let's perform a show with the flowers. We can be fairies and sing and dance." + +Tom likes the idea. He picks some flowers and puts them in his hair. Sara does the same. They hold hands and start to perform. They sing a song they learned at school. They twirl and jump and smile. + +But then, a bee comes out of the bush. It buzzes around Sara's head. Sara is scared. She screams and runs away. Tom follows her. The bee chases them. It stings Sara on her arm. Sara cries. It hurts a lot. + +Tom hugs Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. The bee is mean. Let me see your arm." He looks at the sting. It is red and swollen. He says, "We need to tell a grown-up. They can help you." + +Sara nods. She wipes her tears. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Can we still be fairies?" Tom smiles. He says, "Yes, we can. But let's stay away from the bush. The bee lives there. He doesn't like fairies." They hold hands and walk to find a grown-up. They still have flowers in their hair. They still sing and dance. They are still fairies. +Ben liked to record sounds with his toy phone. He wanted to record the sound of an owl, but it was difficult. Owls only came out at night, when Ben had to sleep. + +One night, Ben had an idea. He asked his mom if he could stay up a little longer and go outside with his phone. His mom said yes, but only if he wore his coat and hat and stayed close to the house. + +Ben put on his coat and hat and took his phone outside. He looked up at the dark sky and listened carefully. He heard crickets, frogs, and a dog barking. But he did not hear an owl. + +He walked around the yard, hoping to find an owl. He saw a big tree with a hole in it. He thought maybe an owl lived there. He went closer and pointed his phone at the hole. He said, "Hello, owl. Can you make a sound for me?" + +He waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened. He was about to give up, when he heard a loud "Hoo-hoo!" from the hole. He was so happy. He pressed the button on his phone to record the sound. He said, "Thank you, owl. You have a nice sound." + +He ran back to the house, eager to show his mom his recording. He found his mom in the kitchen, making hot chocolate. He said, "Mom, mom, I recorded an owl. Listen!" + +He played the sound on his phone. His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Wow, Ben, you did it. You recorded an owl. That's amazing. You are a very clever boy." + +Ben felt proud and happy. He drank his hot chocolate and went to bed. He dreamed of owls and other sounds he wanted to record. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to see their kites soar high in the sky, like birds. They ran and laughed and watched the kites dance in the wind. + +"Look, Lily, my kite is higher than yours!" Tom said. + +"No, it's not, Tom, mine is higher!" Lily said. + +They both looked up and saw that their kites were very close to each other. They tried to pull them apart, but it was too late. The strings got tangled and the kites fell to the ground. + +"Oh no, our kites!" Tom and Lily cried. + +They ran to pick up their kites, but they were broken and ripped. They felt sad and angry. + +"Tom, this is your fault! You made my kite fall!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, this is your fault! You made my kite fall!" Tom said. + +They started to argue and shout at each other. They did not want to play anymore. + +Their mom and dad saw them from a distant bench. They were having a picnic and had brought a grill to cook some hot dogs and burgers. They smelled the food and felt hungry. + +"Tom, Lily, come here, please!" their mom called. + +They stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They saw the grill and the food. They felt their mouths water. + +"Mom, can we have some hot dogs and burgers?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, of course, but first you have to say sorry to each other and hug," their mom said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They remembered how much they liked to play with their kites and how much they loved each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to make your kite fall," Tom said. + +"Sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to make your kite fall," Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They ran to their mom and dad and joined them for the picnic. They ate the hot dogs and burgers and drank some juice. They felt happy and full. + +They decided to share their kites and fix them together. They learned that it was more fun to soar together than to fall apart. +Poppy was a big girl who liked to sign. She learned many signs from her mom and dad, who were deaf. She could sign hello, thank you, hungry, and more. She liked to sign with her friends at school, too. + +One day, Poppy went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted to play with him, so she walked over and signed hello. The boy looked at her and frowned. He did not understand her signs. He said, "What are you doing? That's not how you talk. You're weird." + +Poppy felt sad and hurt. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. She signed, "He was mean to me. He said I'm weird. Why can't he understand me?" + +Her mom hugged her back and signed, "You're not weird, Poppy. You're special. You can talk with your hands and your voice. Some people don't know about signs, and they might be scared or confused. But you can teach them, if they want to learn. And you can find other friends who sign, too." + +Poppy nodded and smiled. She signed, "I love you, mom. You're right. I'm special. And I'm proud to sign." Her mom smiled and signed, "I love you, too, Poppy. You're my brave girl." + +They decided to go to the flower garden and look at the pretty colors. Poppy saw a red flower that looked like a star. She pointed and signed, "What's that?" + +Her mom signed, "That's a poppy, like your name. It's a beautiful flower that grows in the sun. Do you like it?" + +Poppy nodded and signed, "Yes, I like it. It's bright and happy, like me. Can I pick one?" + +Her mom signed, "Sure, you can pick one. But be careful, it has a prickly stem. Hold it gently." + +Poppy picked a poppy and held it in her hand. She felt the soft petals and the sharp stem. She signed, "Thank you, mom. This is a nice gift. Can I give it to someone?" + +Her mom signed, "Of course, you can give it to someone. Who do you want to give it to?" + +Poppy looked around and saw the boy with the ball. He was sitting on a bench, looking bored and lonely. She had an idea. She signed, "I want to give it to him. Maybe he will be nice to me. Maybe he will want to learn signs." + +Her mom signed, "That's very kind of you, Poppy. But remember, he might not say yes. He might not like flowers. He might still be mean. Are you sure you want to try?" + +Poppy nodded and signed, "Yes, I want to try. I'm not afraid. I'm brave, like you said." + +She walked over to the boy with the poppy in her hand. She smiled and signed hello. She offered him the flower and signed, "This is for you. It's a poppy. It's beautiful, like you." + +The boy looked at her and the flower. He was surprised and curious. He took the flower and said, "Thank you. It's nice. What's your name?" + +Poppy signed, "My name is Poppy, like the flower. What's your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Ben. What are you doing with your hands?" + +Poppy signed, "I'm signing. It's how I talk with my mom and dad. They can't hear. Do you want to learn?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I want to learn. It looks cool. Can you teach me?" + +Poppy signed, "Sure, I can teach you. It's easy and fun. Let's start with hello." + +She showed him how to make the sign for hello. He copied her and said, "Hello." + +She smiled and signed, "Good job. You're a fast learner. Do you want to play with me?" + +He smiled and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You're not weird. You're awesome. Do you want to play with my ball?" + +She nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with your ball. Thank you for being nice to me. You're awesome, too." + +They ran to the grass and played with the ball. They laughed and signed and talked. They became friends. Poppy was happy. She was glad she gave him the poppy. She was glad she was brave. She was glad she could sign. +Jenny and Tom were twins. They liked to celebrate their birthday with cake and candles. They always got one big cake to share. But this year, they wanted different cakes. Jenny wanted a pink cake with strawberries. Tom wanted a blue cake with chocolate. + +"Mom, can we have two cakes?" they asked. + +"No, my dears. We only have one cake pan. And we don't have enough money to buy two cakes. You have to share the cake like always," Mom said. + +Jenny and Tom were not happy. They did not want to share. They had a big fight. They said mean words to each other. They did not say sorry. + +On their birthday, Mom made a cake with pink and blue frosting. She put strawberries and chocolate on it. She put six candles on it. She sang "Happy Birthday" to Jenny and Tom. + +"Make a wish and blow the candles," Mom said. + +Jenny and Tom looked at the cake. They did not like it. They did not want to share it. They each wanted their own cake. They did not say thank you to Mom. They did not smile. They did not blow the candles. + +They opened their mouths and bit the cake. They bit hard. They bit so hard that they bit each other's mouths. They screamed. They cried. They bled. They hurt. + +Mom was shocked. She ran to them. She hugged them. She cleaned their mouths. She took them to the doctor. + +The doctor gave them stitches. He gave them medicine. He gave them a bandage. He said they had to be careful with their mouths. He said they had to be nice to each other. + +Jenny and Tom felt sorry. They felt ashamed. They felt sad. They wished they had shared the cake. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had not bitten each other. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that cake is not important. They learned that sharing is important. They learned that being kind is important. They learned that biting is bad. + +They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to each other. They hugged each other. They hugged Mom. They said they loved each other. They said they loved Mom. + +But it was too late. Their birthday was ruined. Their mouths were hurt. Their cake was gone. They had no candles to blow. They had no wish to make. They had no fun to celebrate. + +The end. + +Moral: Don't be greedy and selfish. Share and be kind. Or you might end up biting more than you can chew. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. The leaves are brown and red and yellow. They look fun. + +"Let's jump in the leaves!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves in the air. They make leaf angels and leaf hats. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming to the park. The truck has a big rake on the front. The rake is for picking up the leaves. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "The truck is going to take our leaves!" + +"Let's hide!" Ben says. + +They dig a hole in the pile and hide inside. They hope the truck will not see them. They are quiet and still. + +The truck comes closer and closer. It stops near the pile. The driver gets out. He looks at the pile. He does not see Lily and Ben. + +He says, "This is a big pile of leaves. It will take a long time to rake them. Maybe I should take a break first. I have a sandwich in the truck. I will be back soon." + +He goes back to the truck. He leaves the rake on the ground. + +Lily and Ben hear him. They peek out of the hole. They see the rake. + +"Look!" Lily says. "He left the rake. We can use it to make our pile bigger. Then we can have more fun!" + +"Good idea!" Ben says. + +They get out of the hole. They grab the rake. They start to rake more leaves to their pile. They make their pile bigger and bigger. They are happy. + +They do not see the driver coming back. He sees them. He is angry. + +"Hey!" he says. "What are you doing with my rake? Stop that! You are making a mess!" + +He runs to them. He tries to take the rake. Lily and Ben hold on. They do not want to give it up. + +They pull and tug. The rake breaks. The driver is more angry. Lily and Ben are scared. + +They say, "Sorry! Sorry! We just wanted to play!" + +The driver says, "Well, you should not play with other people's things. And you should not hide in the leaves. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. Now, get out of here. And don't come back!" + +He chases them away. Lily and Ben run to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She sees them. She is worried. + +She says, "What happened? Why are you so dirty? And why are you holding a broken rake?" + +Lily and Ben tell her what happened. They say they are sorry. They say they learned their lesson. + +She says, "I'm glad you are OK. But you should be more careful. And you should respect other people's work. Now, let's go home. And let's leave the leaves alone." + +They nod. They hug her. They go home. They do not play in the leaves again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They are popular with the other kids. + +One day, they see a big tree in the park. It has many ornaments on it. They are shiny and pretty. Anna and Ben want to look at them. They go near the tree. + +"Wow, look at this one!" Anna says. She points to a red ornament that looks like a star. "It is so bright and nice!" + +"I like this one!" Ben says. He points to a green ornament that looks like a frog. "It is so funny and cute!" + +They touch the ornaments gently. They are careful not to break them. They hear a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" The voice is angry. It is the park keeper. He is not happy. He thinks Anna and Ben are trying to take the ornaments. He runs towards them. + +"Stop! Leave the ornaments alone!" He shouts. He waves his stick. He scares Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben are afraid. They do not want to get in trouble. They did not mean to do anything bad. They run away from the tree. They try to find a safe place. + +They see a big bush. They hide behind it. They hope the park keeper will not find them. They hug each other. They are sorry. + +"Are you okay?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I am okay. Are you okay?" Ben asks Anna. + +"I am okay. But I am sad. We did not do anything wrong. We just wanted to see the ornaments. They are so pretty." Anna says. + +"I know. Me too. I wish the park keeper was nice. He is so mean." Ben says. + +They hear a bark. It is a dog. It is a friendly dog. It is their dog. His name is Spot. He is looking for them. He finds them behind the bush. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. He makes them happy. + +"Spot!" Anna and Ben say. They pet him. They love him. + +"Good boy, Spot!" They say. "You rescued us!" + +Spot barks. He is happy too. He rescued his friends. He is a hero. He leads them away from the park keeper. He takes them to their home. They are safe. + +They tell their mom and dad what happened. They are not angry. They understand. They hug them. They are proud of them. + +They tell them not to worry. They say the ornaments are not theirs. They belong to the park. They are for everyone to enjoy. They say the park keeper was wrong. He should not have yelled at them. He should have been kind. + +They say they will talk to him. They will explain. They will make him apologize. They will make him be nice. + +They say they are sorry for the scare. They say they are glad they are okay. They say they are glad they have Spot. They say he is a good dog. + +They give them a treat. They give them a hug. They give them a kiss. They say they love them. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They love their mom and dad. They love Spot. They are good friends. They are popular. They are brave. They are good. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw many birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. + +Then they heard a loud noise. They looked and saw a big truck. The truck had a big box on it. The truck stopped near the park. A man got out of the truck. He opened the box. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Sam said. "What is in the box?" + +Lily and Sam ran to the truck. They saw a deer in the box. The deer was brown and white. It had big ears and a long nose. It had horns on its head. The deer looked scared. + +"Hello, deer," Lily said. "Why are you in the box?" + +The man heard Lily. He smiled. He said, "I am from the zoo. The deer is from the forest. He was hurt by a hunter. I brought him here to help him. He will go to the zoo soon. He will be safe there." + +"Can we pet him?" Sam asked. + +The man nodded. He said, "Yes, you can. But be gentle. He is not used to people." + +Lily and Sam petted the deer. They stroked his fur and his ears. They gave him some grass and some water. The deer licked their hands. He felt better. + +"Thank you, Lily and Sam," the man said. "You are very kind. The deer likes you. You made him feel fit." + +Lily and Sam smiled. They said, "You are welcome. We like the deer. He is very nice. We hope he will be happy at the zoo." + +The man put the deer back in the box. He closed it. He said, "Goodbye, Lily and Sam. Goodbye, deer. Take care." + +He got in the truck. He drove away. Lily and Sam waved. They said, "Goodbye, man. Goodbye, deer. We will miss you." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see a tank. The tank is green and has a long gun. Tom and Mia are happy. They want to play with the tank. + +"Can I have the tank?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, I want the tank," Mia says. + +"Please, can I have the tank?" Tom requests Mia. + +"No, it is mine," Mia says. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to fight. They want to have fun. + +"Wait, I have an idea," Tom says. "We can share the tank. You can have the gun and I can have the wheels. Then we can both play with the tank." + +Mia thinks for a moment. She likes the gun, but she also likes the wheels. She is flexible. She nods and smiles. + +"Okay, we can share the tank," Mia says. "You are a good friend, Tom." + +Tom and Mia are happy. They play with the tank together. They make noises and pretend to shoot and drive. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play by the river. They had a big raft that their dad made for them. They could sit on the raft and float on the water. Sometimes they saw fish and birds and boats. + +One day, they saw a big boat with many people on it. The people wore nice clothes and shiny things. They looked rich. Anna and Ben wondered what they were doing on the river. + +"Hello!" Anna shouted to the people. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Some of the people looked at Anna and Ben and smiled. They waved to them. But one man looked angry. He did not wave. He yelled at them. + +"Go away, you dirty kids! This is our boat. We paid a lot of money for it. You have no right to be here. You are bothering us!" + +Anna and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not understand why the man was so mean. They did not want to bother anyone. They just wanted to have fun. + +"Come on, Ben," Anna said. "Let's go back to the shore. We don't need their boat. We have our raft. And we have each other. We are happy." + +They paddled their raft away from the big boat. They did not look back. They sang a song and hugged each other. They knew they were not rich, but they had something more important. They had love. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper, on walls, on boxes, on anything they can find. + +One day, they find a big door. The door says "lab". They do not know what "lab" means. They think it is a new place to paint. They open the door and go inside. + +The lab is full of machines and wires and tubes and bottles. It looks like a fun place to paint. Tom and Lily start to paint on the machines and wires and tubes and bottles. They make them red and blue and green and yellow. + +But the lab is not a fun place to paint. The lab is a place where people work on sound. The machines and wires and tubes and bottles make sound. They make loud sound and soft sound and high sound and low sound. They help people who are deaf. Deaf means you cannot hear sound. + +The people who work in the lab are not happy when they see Tom and Lily. They see the paint on their machines and wires and tubes and bottles. They see the paint on their papers and books and computers. They see the paint on their coats and hats and glasses. They are angry. They shout at Tom and Lily. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you get in? Look what you have done! You have ruined our work! You have broken our machines! You have spoiled our sound!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They do not understand the people. They do not hear the people. They are deaf. They were born deaf. They do not know what sound is. They only know what paint is. + +They run out of the lab. They run back to their room. They hug each other. They cry. They wish they could hear. They wish they could say sorry. They wish they could paint. +Tim and Mia were playing in the attic. They liked to explore the old things that their grandma kept there. They found an ancient armchair that was big and soft. It had flowers and birds on it. + +"Wow, look at this chair!" Tim said. "It is so pretty and cozy. Can we sit on it?" + +Mia nodded. She admired the armchair too. She liked the colors and the shapes. She climbed on it and made room for Tim. They sat on the armchair and pretended they were kings and queens. + +"Hello, my dear queen," Tim said. "How are you today?" + +"I am very well, thank you, my king," Mia said. "Do you like our palace?" + +"Yes, I do. It is very nice and warm. And we have the best chair in the world." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They felt happy and safe on the ancient armchair. They did not hear their grandma calling them for lunch. They were too busy playing and dreaming. +Ben and Lily were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Ben had a big shield made of cardboard and Lily had a small shield made of a plate. They pretended to fight the dragon, which was a big toy with green scales and red eyes. + +"Roar!" the dragon said. "I will eat you, knights!" + +"No, you won't!" Ben said. "We have shields to protect us!" + +He held his shield in front of him and ran towards the dragon. But his shield was too big and he tripped over it. He fell on the grass and the shield flew away. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Ben, are you okay?" + +She ran to help him, but the dragon saw her and moved closer. She held her shield in front of her, but it was too small and the dragon could still see her. + +"Help!" Lily said. "My shield is too small!" + +Ben got up and saw Lily in trouble. He looked around and saw his shield on the other side of the garden. He ran to get it, but it was too far and he was too slow. + +"Wait!" he said. "I have an idea!" + +He saw a big blanket on the clothesline. He grabbed it and ran back to Lily. He threw the blanket over the dragon and covered its eyes. + +"Ha!" he said. "Now you can't see us, dragon!" + +He took Lily's hand and they ran away. They hid behind a bush and laughed. + +"We did it!" Lily said. "We beat the dragon!" + +"Yes, we did!" Ben said. "But we need better shields. This one is too big and that one is too small." + +He looked at the blanket and had another idea. He tore it in half and gave one piece to Lily. + +"Here," he said. "This can be our new shield. It will fit us better." + +Lily smiled and wrapped the blanket around her arm. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good knight and a good friend." + +They hugged and went back to playing knights and dragons. They used their new shields and had more fun. The dragon was still under the blanket and made poor noises. But they didn't mind. They knew it was just a toy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to build towers with their blocks and knock them down. They also liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. + +But they had to be careful of the fireplace. Mommy had told them many times not to go near it, because it was hot and dangerous. She had warned them that they could get hurt or burn the house. + +One day, Mommy was in the kitchen making lunch. Ben and Lily were bored of their blocks and animals. They wanted to try something new. They saw the fireplace and wondered what it was like. + +"Let's go see the fireplace," Ben said. "Maybe we can touch it or play with it." + +"No, Ben, we can't," Lily said. "Mommy said no. She said it's bad." + +"Mommy is not here," Ben said. "She won't know. Come on, it will be fun." + +Ben got up and walked towards the fireplace. Lily followed him, but she was scared. She saw the flames and the smoke and the wood. She heard the crackling and the popping. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. "It's too hot. It will hurt you." + +But Ben did not listen. He reached out his hand to touch the fireplace. He wanted to feel it and see what it was like. + +Suddenly, he screamed. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He had touched the fire and it had burned him. He pulled back his hand and cried. + +Mommy heard the scream and ran to the living room. She saw Ben holding his hand and Lily standing by the fireplace. She saw the fire and the smoke and the wood. + +She was very angry and very scared. She grabbed Ben and Lily and took them away from the fireplace. She checked Ben's hand and saw a red mark. She put some cold water and a bandage on it. + +She scolded Ben and Lily for being naughty and disobeying her. She warned them again to never go near the fireplace. She said they could have been seriously hurt or caused a fire. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and they would never do it again. They hugged Mommy and asked her to forgive them. + +Mommy was still grumpy, but she loved them. She forgave them and hugged them back. She told them to be careful and listen to her. She said she only wanted them to be safe and happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors.

She says, "There you are! I was looking for you. Who is your friend?" + +Anna and Ben say, "This is the lady with the flower card. She is nice. She likes our cards." + +Mom says, "Hello, lady with the flower card. I am sorry if my twins bothered you. They are very curious." + +The lady says, "No, no, they did not bother me. They are very sweet. They have good manners." + +Mom says, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind. Come on, Anna and Ben. We need to go. We have to buy some things." + +Anna and Ben say, "Bye, bye, lady with the flower card. Thank you for talking to us. We hope to see you again." + +The lady says, "Bye, bye, Anna and Ben. Thank you for showing me your cards. I hope to see you again too." + +Anna and Ben take their cards and follow Mom. They go to the checkout. They see a man with a machine. The machine makes a beep sound. The man scans the things that Mom buys. He is slow. Anna and Ben are bored. They play with their cards. They make piles and match them. They wait for Mom to finish. + +Mom pays the man. She says, "Thank you, thank you. Have a nice day." + +The man says, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Have a nice day too." + +Mom takes the bags. She says, "Let's go, Anna and Ben. We are done." + +Anna and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We are done too." + +They go to the car. They put their cards and the bags in the car. They get in the car. Mom drives the car home. She is fast. Anna and Ben look out the window. They see trees and houses and cars. They say, "Look, look, a yellow car! Look, look, a small cat!" + +They get home. They take their cards and the bags inside. They say, "We had fun at the store. We met a lady with a flower card. She was nice. She liked our cards." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you had fun. You were good at the store. You can play with your cards now. But first, help me put away the things we bought." + +Anna and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will help you. Then we will play with our cards." + +They help Mom put away the things. Then they play with their cards. They make piles and match them. They are happy. They love their cards. They love Mom. They love each other. The end. +Lily and Sam liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys of different colors and shapes. They wanted to organize their toys so they could find them easily. + +"Let's put the red toys here, and the blue toys there," said Lily, pointing to two spots on the grass. + +"OK, and the yellow toys can go over there, under the tree," said Sam, nodding. + +They worked together to sort their toys by color. They felt happy and proud of their work. + +But then, the sun became very hot and bright. Lily and Sam felt thirsty and tired. They looked for a place to rest and drink some water. + +"Let's go to the shade, under the tree," said Lily, holding her water bottle. + +"Good idea, it's too hot here," said Sam, following her. + +They walked to the tree and sat down on the grass. They drank some water and looked at their toys. They could see them very well, because they were clear and bright. + +"Look, our toys look so nice and neat," said Lily, smiling. + +"Yes, they do. We did a good job organizing them," said Sam, smiling too. + +They hugged each other and enjoyed the shade and the view. They were happy and content. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box is shiny and has a lock. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe it is a treasure. Maybe it is rich things," Tom says. + +They try to open the box, but it is too hard. They pull and push, but nothing happens. + +"Let's discuss how to open the box," Lily says. + +"OK, how?" Tom asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Maybe we can rub the lock with a stick. Maybe it will make a sound and open," she says. + +"Good idea. Let's try it," Tom says. + +They find a stick and rub the lock with it. They rub and rub, but nothing happens. The lock is still quiet and closed. + +They are sad and tired. They sit on the grass and look at the box. + +"Maybe we need a key. Maybe someone has the key," Lily says. + +"Maybe. But who?" Tom asks. + +They do not know. They wish they could open the box and see what is inside. They wonder if it is a treasure or rich things. They hope someone will come and help them. They wait and wait. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play on the farm. One day, they saw a mule in the barn. The mule had big ears, a long face and a brown coat. + +"Can we ride the mule?" Tom asked Lily. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we should ask the farmer first." + +They ran to the farmer, who was working in the field. They told him they wanted to ride the mule. + +The farmer shook his head. "No, no, no," he said. "The mule is not for riding. He is very stubborn and grumpy. He might kick you or bite you or run away. He is a terrible mule. I do not recommend you ride him." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to have fun with the mule. They went back to the barn and looked at him. He was eating some hay and making loud noises. + +"Maybe he is not so terrible," Tom said. "Maybe he is just lonely and bored. Maybe he needs a friend." + +Lily nodded. She had an idea. She picked some flowers from the garden and made a wreath. She put it on the mule's head. The mule looked surprised, but he did not move. + +"See, he likes it," Lily said. "He is smiling." + +Tom smiled too. He found a stick and tied a string to it. He made a toy for the mule. He waved it in front of him. The mule followed it with his eyes. He snorted and trotted after it. + +"See, he likes it," Tom said. "He is playing." + +Tom and Lily laughed. They played with the mule for a long time. They forgot about riding him. They were happy with their new friend. + +The farmer watched them from a distance. He smiled too. He was glad they found a way to make the mule happy. He thought they were very clever and kind. He changed his mind about the mule. He was not a terrible mule. He was a good mule. He recommended them to visit him again. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big tree that they call their home.

She walked to the lady and said, "Hello, how are you?" + +The lady looked at mom and said, "I'm fine, thank you. But I have a problem. My stomach hurts a lot. I ate too much cake and ice cream at a party. It was yummy, but now I feel sick." + +Mom felt sorry for the lady and said, "I'm sorry to hear that. You should drink some water and rest.

She thinks medicine is good. She goes to the bathroom and finds a bottle of medicine. She does not know what it is, but it has a picture of a famous bear on it. She thinks the bear is nice. + +She brings the bottle to Tim and says, "Look, Tim, I have medicine for you. It is from the famous bear. He will make you well." + +Tim looks at the bottle and shakes his head. He does not want to take the medicine. He says, "No, Mia, I don't like medicine. It tastes bad. And I don't know this bear. He is not famous to me." + +Mia is confused. She thinks the medicine is good and the bear is famous. She wants to make Tim happy. She says, "Please, Tim, try the medicine. It is not bad. And the bear is famous. He is on TV and in books. He is very smart and kind. He knows how to help sick children." + +Tim still does not want to take the medicine. He says, "No, Mia, I don't want to try it. It is yucky. And I don't care about the bear. He is not real. He is just a picture." + +Mia is angry. She thinks Tim is stubborn and silly. She says, "Fine, Tim, if you don't want to take the medicine, I will poke you with it. Maybe then you will feel better." + +She opens the bottle and tries to poke Tim with the medicine.

They have fun. + +Mama hears the noise and comes to see what is going on. She sees Tim and Mia poking each other with the medicine. She is shocked and angry. She says, "Stop, Tim and Mia, stop! What are you doing? You are wasting the medicine. And you are making a mess. And you are not supposed to play with medicine. It is dangerous. You could get hurt or sick." + +She takes the bottle from them and puts it away. She scolds them and tells them to be careful and listen to her. She says, "Tim, you need to take the medicine. It will help you feel better. And Mia, you need to leave the medicine alone. It is not a toy. And you need to ask me before you give anything to Tim. You don't know what is good for him. And you don't know what is in the bottle. It could be something bad for him." + +She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I love you, Tim and Mia. I want you to be well and happy. But you need to be good and safe. And you need to trust me. I know what is best for you." + +Tim and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mama. We were just trying to help. We didn't mean to be bad. We love you, too." + +Mama smiles and says, "It's okay, Tim and Mia. I know you were trying to help. But you need to be careful and smart. And you need to listen to me. Now, Tim, will you take the medicine?" + +Tim nods and says, "Yes, mama, I will take the medicine. I want to feel better. And I want to play with Mia." + +Mia says, "And I will leave the medicine alone. I don't want to poke Tim. I want to hug him." + +They take the medicine and hug each other. They feel better and happier. They thank the famous bear for the medicine. They think he is nice. They hope he will visit them someday. They say, "Thank you, famous bear. You are very smart and kind.

They were not bored anymore. They were grateful and happy. They had food and water and toys and books in the car. They had Mom and Dad with them. They had each other. They had everything they needed. +Tom and Lily were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and make a cake!" Tom said. + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. They ran to the kitchen and looked for the things they needed. They found a big bowl, a spoon, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some milk. + +They put everything in the bowl and mixed it with the spoon. It was hard work, but they liked it. They made a big mess, but they did not care. + +"Now we need to bake it in the oven," Tom said. He looked for the oven and saw a big metal box with a door and a knob. He decided to turn the knob and open the door. + +"Wait, Tom!" Lily shouted. "That is not a good idea! The oven is very hot and it can hurt you!" + +But Tom did not listen. He turned the knob and opened the door. He felt a blast of hot air and saw a dull red light inside. He was scared and dropped the bowl. The cake batter spilled all over the floor and the oven. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He burned his hand on the knob and the door. He ran to the sink and put his hand under the cold water. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him and for the cake. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was silly and did not listen to you. You were right. The oven is not for us. It is for grown-ups." + +"It's okay, Tom," Lily said. "I'm glad you are not hurt too much. Maybe we can make another cake another day. With Mom or Dad." + +They cleaned up the mess and went back to their room. They decided to play with their toys and read their books again. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. She found a big bug with many legs and a hard shell. She put it in a jar and ran to show her mom. + +Mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for Lily's dad. She did not see Lily coming with the jar. Lily bumped into mom and the jar fell on the floor. The bug came out and ran under the table. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you disturbed me! You made a mess! You scared the bug! Go and pick it up and put it back in the garden!" + +Lily was sad. She did not mean to disturb mom. She did not mean to make a mess. She did not mean to scare the bug. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to show you the bug. I thought it was fine." + +Mom saw that Lily was sorry. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you like bugs. But you have to be careful when you play with them. They are not toys. They are living things. They need air and water and space. You have to be gentle with them and let them go." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I will be gentle with the bug and let it go. Can I help you with the cake?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can help me with the cake. But first, let's clean up the floor and find the bug." + +Lily and mom cleaned up the floor and found the bug. It was hiding under a chair. Lily picked it up and said, "Bye, bug. I hope you are fine. Thank you for letting me see you." She took it to the garden and let it go. Then she went back to the kitchen and helped mom with the cake. They had a good time. Lily learned a lesson. Mom forgave her. The bug was fine. The end. +Ben likes to go to the park with his mom. He likes to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. But his favorite thing is to look at the pond. He likes to see the ducks, the frogs and the fish. + +One day, he sees a big fish in the pond. It is orange and white and has a long tail. Ben thinks it is very pretty. He wants to get closer to the fish. He is an adventurous boy. He leaves his mom and walks to the edge of the pond. + +He notices that the fish is swimming near him. He smiles and waves at the fish. He thinks the fish is friendly. He reaches out his hand to touch the fish. But he does not see the mud on the ground. He slips and falls into the pond. + +He feels the cold water and the fish on his legs. He is scared and cries. He hears his mom calling his name. She runs to the pond and pulls him out. She hugs him and wraps him in a towel. She tells him he is okay and that he should not go near the pond without her. + +Ben is sorry and says he is sorry. He tells his mom he just wanted to see the fish. He says the fish is nice. His mom says the fish is nice too, but he should look at it from far away. She says he can come back to the pond another day, but he has to stay with her. Ben says he will. He still likes the fish, but he likes his mom more. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big green melon on the table. They want to eat it. + +"Can we have some melon, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, but you have to wash your hands first," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben run to the sink. They wash their hands with soap and water. They dry them with a towel. + +They go back to the table. But the melon is gone! + +"Where is the melon, Mom?" Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She points to the tree. + +Sara and Ben look up. They see a big green melon hanging from a branch. It has a tight rope around it. + +"How did the melon get there?" Sara says. + +"It was a magic melon," Mom says. "It can appear and disappear wherever it wants." + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Ben says. + +"Can we have some magic melon, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"Of course, but you have to catch it first," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben laugh. They run to the tree. They try to reach the melon. They jump and stretch. But the melon is too high. + +They see a ladder leaning against the fence. They drag it to the tree. They climb up the ladder. They grab the melon. They pull it down. + +They are very happy. They hug the melon. They thank Mom. + +Mom cuts the melon. She gives them each a slice. They eat the melon. It is sweet and juicy. + +They say the melon is the best melon ever. They wonder where it will appear next. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they got bored and wanted to do something new. + +One day, they saw a big blanket on the sofa. They had an idea. They took the blanket and made a tent with it. They put some pillows and stuffed animals inside. They pretended they were camping in the forest. + +"Look, Ben, a bear!" Anna said, pointing to a brown toy. "Don't be scared, we are clever. We can scare it away." + +Ben nodded. He picked up a wooden spoon and banged it on a pot. "Go away, bear! We are not your food!" he shouted. + +The bear did not move. It was just a toy. Anna and Ben laughed. They were having fun. + +But then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was looking for them. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you? It's time for lunch!" she called. + +Anna and Ben sighed. They liked their tent, but they were also hungry. They crawled out of the blanket and ran to their mom. + +"Hi, mom, we were camping!" Anna said. + +"We made a tent with the blanket!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of her twins. They were clever and creative. + +"That's very nice, my loves. But now you have to put the blanket back on the sofa and wash your hands. Lunch is ready and it's your favorite: macaroni and cheese!" + +Anna and Ben cheered. They loved macaroni and cheese. They hugged their mom and followed her to the kitchen. They decided they would camp again after lunch. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big box in the yard. It had a sign that said "Do not open". Lily wanted to see what was inside. Tom was scared. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe there are fun things in it." + +"No, we can't!" Tom said. "The sign says no. Maybe there are bad things in it." + +Lily did not listen. She pulled the box and opened it. Inside, there were zero toys and zero pictures. There was only a dead rat. It smelled bad and had flies on it. Lily screamed and dropped the box. Tom ran away. + +Lily felt sick and sad. She wished she had listened to Tom. She learned that some rules are there to keep us safe. She said sorry to Tom and they hugged. They decided to play with their own toys and draw their own pictures. They never opened boxes that said "Do not open" again. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their bicycles in the park. They had cool bicycles with red and blue colors. They liked to race each other and see who was faster. + +One day, they saw a big boy with a bigger bicycle. The big boy was mean and rude. He said, "Your bicycles are small and ugly. Give them to me or I will hit you." Tim and Sam were scared. They did not want to lose their bicycles or get hurt. + +Tim said, "No, these are our bicycles. We love them. You cannot have them." Sam said, "Yes, go away. You are bad." The big boy got angry. He pushed Tim and grabbed his bicycle. He said, "Ha, ha, now I have two bicycles. You are losers." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He wanted to help Tim. He said, "Give it back. That is not fair." He ran after the big boy and tried to get the bicycle. The big boy was stronger and faster. He kicked Sam and rode away with both bicycles. He said, "Bye, bye, suckers." + +Tim and Sam cried. They lost their bicycles and their fun. They did not know what to do. They wished they had someone to help them. + +Then, they saw a girl with a pink bicycle. The girl was nice and kind. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is wrong? Why are you crying?" Tim and Sam told her what happened. They said, "A big boy took our bicycles. He was mean and rude. We tried to stop him, but he was stronger and faster. We have no bicycles now." + +Lily felt sorry for them. She said, "That is awful. That big boy is a bully. He should not do that. Do you want me to help you?" Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, please. Can you help us?" Lily said, "Sure. I have an idea. Follow me." + +Lily led them to a police officer. The police officer was friendly and helpful. He said, "Hello, I am Officer Bob. What can I do for you?" Lily said, "Officer Bob, these are my friends, Tim and Sam. A big boy stole their bicycles. He was mean and rude. Can you find him and get their bicycles back?" Officer Bob said, "Of course. That is my job. Do you know what he looks like and where he went?" Lily said, "Yes, he has a big bicycle with black and yellow colors. He went that way." She pointed to the direction. + +Officer Bob said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very smart and brave. Tim and Sam, you are very lucky to have a friend like Lily. Don't worry, I will find the big boy and get your bicycles back. Stay here and wait for me." He got on his motorcycle and drove away. + +Tim and Sam thanked Lily. They said, "Lily, you are very nice and kind. You are our hero. Thank you for helping us." Lily said, "You are welcome. I am happy to help. You are my friends. Friends help each other. That is what friends do." + +They waited for Officer Bob. They hoped he would find the big boy and get their bicycles back. They learned a lesson. They learned that bullying is wrong and that friendship is good. They learned that sometimes it is better to surrender and ask for help than to fight and get hurt. They learned that cool bicycles are not as important as cool friends. +Lila was a little camel who lived in the desert with her family. She loved to explore the sand dunes and look for flowers and rocks. But she was afraid of the big storms that sometimes came and made loud noises and strong winds. + +One day, Lila was playing far from her home when she saw dark clouds in the sky. She heard thunder and saw lightning. She was very scared and wanted to go back to her mother. But she did not know which way to go. She started to tremble and cry. + +She wandered around the desert, looking for a way out. She was thirsty and tired. She prayed to God to help her. Then she saw something green and blue in the distance. It was an oasis, a place with water and trees and grass. She ran towards it, hoping to find shelter and drink. + +When she reached the oasis, she saw another camel there. He was bigger and older than her. He looked at her and smiled. "Hello, little one. What are you doing here?" he asked. + +Lila told him her story and how she got lost in the storm. He listened and nodded. "Don't worry, you are safe here. I live in this oasis and I have plenty of water and food. You can stay with me until the storm is over. Then I will help you find your way home." + +Lila was very happy and grateful. She thanked him and drank some water. She felt better and stopped trembling. She asked him his name. He said his name was Omar. He told her he used to live with a big herd of camels, but he left them because they were mean and selfish. They did not share their water and food with him or with anyone else. They only cared about themselves. + +Lila felt sorry for him. She said he was very kind and generous to share his oasis with her. She said he deserved to have friends who loved him and respected him. She said she wanted to be his friend. Omar smiled and said he was glad to have her as his friend. He said she was very brave and smart to survive the storm. He said he liked her. + +They talked and played and ate together. They waited for the storm to pass. They learned from each other and had fun. They became good friends. + +The next day, the sun came out and the sky was clear. Omar said he would take Lila back to her home. He said he would miss her, but he was happy for her.

She told her everything that happened and how Omar saved her. She said he was her friend and she loved him. Her mother was very relieved and happy. She thanked God and Omar for bringing her back. She said he was a hero and a blessing. She invited him to stay with them and be part of their family. Omar was very surprised and happy. He accepted the invitation and thanked her. He said he was honored and grateful. He said he loved them too. + +Lila and Omar stayed together and became part of the same family. They grew up and had more adventures and friends. They never forgot their first meeting and their bond. They always shared their water and food and their oasis with others. They always cared about each other and themselves. They were fine. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind and generous to others, especially those in need. You never know when you might need their help or friendship. Friendship is a precious gift that can make you happy and strong. Friendship is an oasis in the desert. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big hill and wanted to go up. They ran as fast as they could and reached the top. + +"Wow, look at the view!" Tom said. He pointed at the trees and the birds and the sky. "We can see everything from here!" + +Lila nodded. She saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a pebble. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sun. Lila picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, I found a treasure!" she said. "It's so pretty!" + +Tom looked at the pebble. He shrugged. "It's just an ordinary pebble," he said. "It's not a treasure. It's boring." + +Lila felt sad. She liked the pebble. She thought it was special. She wanted to keep it. She put it in her pocket and turned away from Tom. + +"Let's go down the hill," she said. "Maybe we can find something else to play with." + +Tom agreed. He followed Lila down the hill. But he was not careful. He stepped on a slippery spot and lost his balance. He fell and rolled down the hill. He bumped into rocks and sticks and dirt. He screamed and cried. + +Lila heard Tom's scream. She turned and saw him falling. She was scared. She wanted to help him. But she was too far away. She could not reach him. + +Tom reached the bottom of the hill. He was hurt. He had cuts and bruises and blood on his skin. He was dirty and sore. He looked for Lila. He wanted her to hug him and make him feel better. + +But Lila was not there. She had run away. She was angry at Tom. He had made fun of her pebble. He had hurt her feelings. She did not want to be his friend anymore. + +She ran to her mom and dad. They were sitting on a bench. They saw Lila and smiled. They did not see Tom. + +"Hi, sweetie, did you have fun?" her mom asked. + +Lila nodded. She took out the pebble from her pocket and showed it to her mom and dad. + +"Look, I found a treasure!" she said. "It's so pretty!" + +Her mom and dad looked at the pebble. They smiled and praised Lila. + +"It's a beautiful pebble," her mom said. "It's very special. You can keep it as a souvenir." + +"It's a wonderful pebble," her dad said. "It's very rare. You are very lucky." + +Lila smiled. She felt happy. She hugged her mom and dad. She forgot about Tom. + +Tom was alone. He was sad. He wished he had not been mean to Lila. He wished he had liked her pebble. He wished he had not slipped and fallen. He wished Lila was there. He needed a friend. But he had none. He cried. +Lily liked to solve puzzles. She had many puzzles with animals, shapes and colors. She liked to make the pictures with the pieces. She was very good at it. + +One day, Lily saw a new puzzle on the table. It was a lamp puzzle. It had many pieces that looked like glass. They were clear and shiny. Lily wanted to make the lamp puzzle. + +She started to put the pieces together. She found the pieces that looked like the base of the lamp. She found the pieces that looked like the cord. She found the pieces that looked like the bulb. But she could not find the pieces that looked like the shade. + +She looked under the table. She looked behind the chair. She looked in the box. She could not find the shade pieces. She was sad. She wanted to finish the lamp puzzle. + +Then she heard a sound. It was her cat, Milo. Milo was playing with something on the floor. It was shiny and clear. It was the shade pieces! Milo had taken them and made them his toy. + +Lily ran to Milo. She said, "Milo, no! That is my puzzle. Give me the pieces, please." She took the pieces from Milo. Milo was not happy. He meowed and ran away. + +Lily was happy. She had all the pieces now. She put the shade pieces on the lamp puzzle. She made the lamp picture. She solved the lamp puzzle. She was very proud. She showed her mom and dad. They said, "Wow, Lily, you are so smart. You solved the lamp puzzle. Well done!" Lily smiled. She loved to solve puzzles. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the big and scary animals, like the lions, the bears and the tigers. Mom said they had to stay close to her and not run away. + +When they got to the tiger cage, they saw a big orange and black tiger lying on the grass. He looked very sleepy and bored. Tom and Lily wanted to see him move and roar, so they started to make loud noises and wave their arms. + +"Stop that, children!" Mom said. "You are bothering the tiger. He needs his rest. And you might scare him and make him angry." + +"But we want to see him do something, Mom!" Tom said. "He is so still and quiet. He is not fun at all." + +Mom sighed and looked at her watch. "How about this?" she said. "We will go and see the other animals first, and then we will come back here later. Maybe the tiger will be more active then. Do you promise to be good and patient?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked the other animals too, and they wanted to make Mom happy. "We promise, Mom!" they said. + +Mom smiled and took their hands. They walked away from the tiger cage and went to see the monkeys, the elephants and the penguins. They had a lot of fun and learned many things. + +After a while, Mom said it was time to go back to the tiger cage. Tom and Lily were excited. They hoped the tiger would be awake and playful now. They ran ahead of Mom and reached the cage first. + +But when they looked inside, they saw something that made them gasp. The cage was empty! There was no tiger there, only a sign that said: "Sorry, the tiger is out for a check-up. He will be back soon." + +Tom and Lily felt very sad and disappointed. They had waited so long to see the tiger, and now he was gone. They looked at Mom with big eyes. + +"Where is the tiger, Mom?" they asked. "Why did he leave? When will he come back?" + +Mom hugged them and tried to cheer them up. "I'm sorry, children," she said. "I didn't know the tiger had to go to the vet today. He must have been sick or hurt. The zookeepers are taking good care of him. He will be back soon, I'm sure. Maybe we can come back another day and see him then. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded, but they still felt sad. They had broken their promise to see the tiger. They wished they had been nicer to him before. They wondered if he would remember them and miss them too. They said a silent goodbye to the empty cage and followed Mom to the exit. They hoped the tiger would be well and happy soon. +Lila and Tom were two little kids who lived on a big planet. They liked to play outside and look at the stars. One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a spaceship! + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Maybe it is from another planet!" + +"Maybe it has aliens inside!" Lila said. "Do you think they are friendly?" + +They ran to the window and waved at the spaceship. The spaceship waved back with a green light. Then it landed in their backyard. + +Lila and Tom ran outside to see the spaceship. They saw a door open and a small creature come out. It had blue fur, four eyes and a long tail. It smiled at them and said, "Hello, I am Zee. I come from planet Zeeba. I am here to visit your planet." + +"Hello, Zee. We are Lila and Tom. We live on planet Earth. We are happy to meet you," Lila and Tom said. + +They invited Zee to play with them. They showed him their toys, their books and their pets. Zee was very curious and friendly. He liked to learn new things. He also liked to share his things. He gave Lila and Tom a shiny rock and a soft ball from his planet. + +They had a lot of fun together. But soon it was time for bed. Lila and Tom's mom came outside and said, "Lila and Tom, it is late. You have to sleep now. You can play with Zee tomorrow." + +"OK, mom. We are obedient kids. We will sleep now," Lila and Tom said. + +They said goodbye to Zee and went inside. Zee said goodbye to them and went back to his spaceship. He was tired too. He thanked the stars for his new friends and fell asleep. +Anna and Ben are going to grandma's house for the weekend. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna has a big bag and Ben has a small bag. + +"Anna, can I have some space in your bag?" Ben asks. "My bag is too small for all my things." + +"No, Ben, you cannot have space in my bag. My bag is for my things. You have to pack less things." Anna says. She puts her books and dolls and crayons in her bag. + +"But I need all my things. I need my cars and my trains and my blocks and my page." Ben says. He has a page with a picture of a dragon that he drew. He likes his page very much. + +"Your page is not a thing. Your page is just a paper. You can leave your page here. You can draw another page at grandma's house." Anna says. She zips her bag and puts it by the door. + +"No, Anna, you are wrong. My page is a thing. My page is a special thing. I want to show my page to grandma. She will like my page. You are mean, Anna. You are a big meanie." Ben says.

She says my page is not a thing. She says I have to leave my page here. But I love my page. I want to take my page to grandma's house." Ben says. He shows Mom his page with the dragon. + +"Mom, Ben is a big baby. He wants to have space in my bag. He says he needs all his things. But he has too many things. He has to pack less things. He can draw another page at grandma's house." Anna says. She shows Mom her bag with her books and dolls and crayons. + +Mom sighs. She knows Anna and Ben love their things. She knows they want to have fun at grandma's house. She has an idea. + +"Anna and Ben, listen to me. You both have to pack smart. You both have to pack only the things you really need. You both have to pack some things for yourself and some things to share. You both have to pack your page. Your page is a thing. Your page is a special thing. You both can show your page to grandma. She will like your page. She will like both your pages. Do you understand?" Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry to each other. They unpack their bags and pack them again. They pack smart. They pack only the things they really need. They pack some things for themselves and some things to share. They pack their page. They are ready to go to grandma's house. They are happy. Mom is happy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a large box that they pretend is a house. They put some toys and a blanket inside the box. They also have a small flashlight that they use as a light. + +"Let's lock the door and have a tea party," Lila says. She pushes the flap of the box and makes a clicking sound with her tongue. + +"Okay," Ben says. He picks up a plastic cup and a plate. He pretends to pour some tea and give it to Lila. + +They sip their tea and talk about their favorite animals and colors. They are having fun. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. He is barking and scratching at the box. He wants to play with them. + +"Go away, Rex!" Lila shouts. "We are busy!" + +But Rex does not listen. He pushes harder and harder. He makes a hole in the box. He sticks his head inside. + +"Hi, Lila! Hi, Ben!" he says. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +Lila and Ben are surprised and scared. They drop their cups and plates. They scream. + +"Rex, no!" they say. "You broke our house! You ruined our tea party!" + +They try to push Rex out of the box. But he is too large and strong. He thinks they are playing with him. He jumps and barks. + +Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to play with Rex. They want to play in their house. But their house is broken. Their light is gone. Their tea party is over. + +They cry. +Lily was a pretty girl who liked to play in the forest. She had a big dog named Max who followed her everywhere. One day, they saw a shiny crown on the ground. Lily picked it up and put it on her head. + +"Look, Max, I am a king!" she said. "You are my loyal friend. Let's go and find our castle." + +They walked and walked, but they did not see any castle. They only saw trees and flowers and birds. Lily started to feel tired and hungry. She wished she had some bread and cheese. + +"Max, where is our castle?" she asked. "I want to go home." + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He smelled something good. He ran towards a big house with a fence and a garden. Lily followed him. She saw a nice lady standing at the door. She had a basket of bread and cheese in her hands. + +"Hello, little girl," the lady said. "Who are you? And what are you doing with that crown?" + +Lily felt shy. She took off the crown and gave it to the lady. + +"I am sorry, ma'am," she said. "I was playing king with my dog. We got lost in the forest. Can we have some bread and cheese, please?" + +The lady smiled and nodded. She invited Lily and Max inside. She gave them some bread and cheese and milk. She also gave them a blanket and a pillow. + +"You can rest here for a while," she said. "Then I will take you home. Don't worry, you are safe with me." + +Lily and Max thanked the lady. They ate and drank and cuddled. They were happy and warm. They decided that being a king was not as fun as being a child. They also decided that the lady was very kind and pretty. They liked her very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see many things in the park. They see trees and flowers and birds. They see a big hill with green grass. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Lily says. "We can roll down the grass!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "That sounds fun!" + +They run to the hill. They lie down on the grass. They hold hands. They roll down the grass. They feel the wind and the sun. They giggle and shout. + +They reach the bottom of the hill. They stand up. They brush off the grass. They look at each other. They smile. + +"Look!" Lily says. "We have grass in our hair!" + +She picks a blade of grass from Ben's hair. She holds it in her hand. She has an idea. + +"I know!" she says. "We can make grass rings!" + +She bends the grass. She ties the ends together. She makes a circle. She puts it on her finger. She shows it to Ben. + +"See?" she says. "It's a ring! It's pretty!" + +Ben nods. He likes the ring. He picks a blade of grass from Lily's hair. He does the same. He makes a ring. He puts it on his finger. He shows it to Lily. + +"See?" he says. "It's a ring! It's cool!" + +Lily nods. She likes the ring. She has another idea. + +"Let's make more rings!" she says.

They are friends. They have grass rings. +Lily wanted to fold a paper heart for her mom. She had a big pink paper and a pair of scissors. She cut the paper into a square and then folded it in half. She tried to make a point at the bottom, but the paper was too thick and it did not look right. + +She unfolded the paper and tried again. She folded it in half and then in half again. She cut a curve at the top, but the paper was too small and it did not look like a heart. + +She unfolded the paper and tried again. She folded it in half and then in half again. She cut a smaller curve at the top, but the paper was too wrinkled and it did not look nice. + +She was frustrated. She threw the paper on the floor and started to cry. + +"Hey, Lily, what's wrong?" her dad asked. He came into her room and saw the paper on the floor. + +"I want to fold a paper heart for mom, but I can't do it. It's too hard. It's not fair." Lily sobbed. + +Her dad hugged her and picked up the paper. He smoothed it out and folded it in half. He showed her how to make a point at the bottom and a curve at the top. He helped her cut the paper with the scissors. + +"Look, Lily, you did it. You folded a paper heart for mom. It's beautiful. It's pink. She will love it." her dad said. + +Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She looked at the paper heart and felt proud. She hugged her dad and thanked him. + +"Can we make another one?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily, we can make as many as you want. Let's go find some more paper." her dad said. + +They went to the kitchen and found some more paper. They folded and cut and made more paper hearts. They had fun and laughed. They made a big pile of paper hearts for mom. Lily was happy. +Lily and Ben were ready to go to bed. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. They said good night to their mom and dad and went to their room. + +"Can we read a story, please?" Lily asked Ben. She loved stories, especially about stars and planets. + +"Okay, but only one," Ben said. He was older than Lily and liked to act like a big brother. He picked a book from the shelf and opened it. It was about a star that wanted to have friends. + +Ben read the story to Lily. The star was lonely in the sky. He wished he could play with the other stars, but they were too far away. He tried to talk to them, but they did not hear him. He felt sad and cried. + +One night, he saw a shooting star. He decided to follow it. He hoped it would lead him to a place where he could find friends. He flew across the sky, faster and faster. He did not notice that he was getting closer to the earth. + +He landed in a field, where he saw a group of children. They were having a picnic and playing games. They saw the star and ran to him. They were amazed and curious. They asked him his name and where he came from. They invited him to join them. They shared their food and toys with him. They told him stories and jokes. They made him laugh and smile. + +The star was happy. He had found friends. He thanked the children for being so kind and generous. He asked them if he could stay with them. + +"Of course you can," Lily said. She liked the star very much. She thought he was shiny and beautiful. "You can be our friend. We will include you in everything we do." + +The star felt warm and grateful. He hugged Lily and Ben and the other children. He decided to stay with them on earth. He did not miss the sky anymore. He had found a new home. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They used pillows, blankets and toys to make a big ship. Lily was the captain and Ben was the mate. + +"Ahoy, matey! Do you see any land?" Lily asked, holding a toy telescope to her eye. + +Ben looked out of the window. He saw a big tree, a bird and an old house. The house had a broken door, a dirty roof and a scary face. Ben felt scared. + +"Captain, there is an old house over there. It looks like a monster!" Ben yelled, pointing at the window. + +Lily dropped her telescope and ran to the window. She saw the old house too. She did not like it. She thought it was ugly and mean. + +"Yuck! That is a bad house. It wants to eat us!" Lily yelled, holding Ben's hand. + +They ran away from the window and hid under the blankets. They hoped the old house would not see them. They hugged each other and whispered. + +"Don't worry, matey. We are safe here. We have each other and our ship. We are brave pirates!" Lily said, trying to sound brave. + +Ben nodded. He felt a little better. He smiled at Lily. + +"Thank you, captain. You are a good friend. We are brave pirates!" Ben said, smiling back. + +They stayed under the blankets until their mom came home. She saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, my little pirates. What are you doing?" she asked, lifting the blankets. + +Lily and Ben looked at her and giggled. + +"We are hiding from the old house. It is a monster!" they said, pointing at the window. + +Mom looked at the window and laughed. + +"That is not a monster. That is an old house. It is empty and sad. It needs some love and care. Maybe we can help it someday." she said, hugging them. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and shrugged. They did not understand. They still thought the old house was scary. But they loved their mom and their ship. They decided to play some more. They were happy pirates. +Ben and Lily were playing at the beach. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. Ben dug a hole and Lily filled the bucket with sand. They turned the bucket over and lifted it up. A nice tower came out. + +"Wow, look at our castle!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "Let's make more towers!" + +They made three more towers and a wall around them. They were very happy with their castle. They decided to go and find some shells and stones to decorate it. + +They left their bucket and shovel near the castle and ran to the water. They saw many shiny things in the water. They splashed and laughed and picked up some shells and stones. + +But then they saw a big wave coming. It was very fast and loud. They got scared and ran back to the shore. They hoped their castle was safe. + +But when they got there, they saw that the wave had washed away their castle. The bucket and shovel were gone too. The sand was flat and wet. There was nothing left of their castle. + +Ben and Lily felt very sad. They started to cry. + +"Where is our castle?" Ben sobbed. "We worked so hard on it!" + +"I don't know!" Lily wailed. "The wave took it away!" + +They hugged each other and cried some more. They wished they had their castle back. + +Then they saw a boy walking towards them. He was holding their bucket and shovel. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hi!" he said. "I found your bucket and shovel in the water. They were floating away. I dived and got them for you. Here you go!" + +He gave them the bucket and shovel. Ben and Lily stopped crying. They looked at the boy. He was very nice. + +"Thank you!" Ben said. "You are very kind!" + +"Yes, thank you!" Lily said. "You are very brave!" + +The boy blushed. He said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry about your castle. The wave was very mean. Do you want to play with me? We can make a new castle together. I have another bucket and shovel." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked the boy. They said, "Yes, we want to play with you. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Sam. What are your names?" + +They told him their names. They became friends. They went to a new spot and started to make a new castle. They had fun. They were not sad anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big carrot in the dirt. They want to eat the carrot. + +"Can I have the carrot?" Anna asks. + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. + +They pull the carrot together. The carrot comes out of the dirt. It is very big and orange. + +"Wow, look at the carrot!" Anna says. + +"It is a nice carrot," Ben says. + +They look at the carrot. They are both hungry. They remember what Mommy said. + +"Mommy said we should share," Anna says. + +"Yes, and we should wash the carrot first. It is dirty," Ben says. + +They go to the tap. They wash the carrot. It is clean and shiny. They break the carrot in half. They each have a piece. + +"Here, you can have this piece," Anna says. + +"Thank you, you can have this piece," Ben says. + +They smile at each other. They bite the carrot. It is crunchy and sweet. + +"Yum, this is a good carrot," Anna says. + +"Yes, it is. And it is better when we share," Ben says. + +They finish the carrot. They hug each other. They are happy. They go back to play in the garden. +Lila was a lonely dog. She lived in a big house with no other dogs or people. She only had her toys and her bed to play with. Sometimes she heard other dogs barking outside, but she could not go out and say hello. + +One day, a new family moved into the house next door. They had a little boy and a little girl, and a small dog named Milo. Lila saw them from her window and wagged her tail. She wanted to be friends with them. + +The next day, Lila heard a knock on the door. She ran to see who it was. It was Milo, with a sausage in his mouth. He had dug a hole under the fence and came to visit Lila. He dropped the sausage on the floor and barked. + +"Hi, I'm Milo. I live next door. Do you want to play with me and share this sausage?" he said. + +Lila was very happy. She sniffed the sausage and licked Milo's face. She barked back. + +"Hi, I'm Lila. I live here. Yes, I want to play with you and share this sausage. Thank you for coming. You are very nice. You are welcome here anytime." + +Lila and Milo ate the sausage together and played with Lila's toys and bed. They chased each other and rolled on the floor. They had a lot of fun. Lila was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some cups. They like to pour water on the flowers and on each other. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a big splash!" Tom says. He fills his cup with water and throws it at Lily. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily says. She is wet and cold. She fills her cup with water and throws it back at Tom. + +They laugh and run around the garden, throwing water at each other. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, the sun comes out. It is very hot and bright. The water on their clothes and hair starts to dry. They feel warm and sticky. + +"Tom, I don't like this. I want to be dry again," Lily says. + +"Me too, Lily. Let's go inside and change our clothes," Tom says. + +They go inside the house. They see their mom in the kitchen. She is baking a cake. It smells good. + +"Mom, can we have some cake?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, my loves. But first, you have to change your clothes. You are all wet and dirty," Mom says. + +She gives them each a towel and a clean set of clothes. They go to their rooms and dry themselves. They put on their new clothes. They feel dry and cozy. + +They go back to the kitchen. Mom has cut a big slice of cake for each of them. She puts some cream and berries on top. + +"Here you go, my loves. You are very lucky. You get to have cake for snack today," Mom says. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Tom and Lily say. + +They eat their cake and enjoy it. They are happy and full. + +They hug their mom and say, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my loves." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after the ball and laughed. + +One day, they saw a big cat in the bushes. It had spots like a cow, but it was not a cow. It was a leopard. The leopard was hungry and wanted to eat the ball. It jumped out of the bushes and ran to the ball. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to lose their ball. They did not want the leopard to hurt them. They shouted for help. A man heard them and came to the park. He had a stick in his hand. He saw the leopard and the ball. + +The man was brave. He ran to the leopard and struck it with the stick. The leopard was angry and roared. It bit the stick and broke it. The stick was broken. The man was not afraid. He struck the leopard again with the broken stick. The leopard was hurt and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked the man for saving their ball. They hugged the man and gave him a kiss. The man smiled and said he was glad they were safe. He gave them a new stick to play with. They played with the ball and the stick until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the man and went home with their mom. They told her about the leopard and the broken stick. She was proud of them and gave them a hug. They had a big dinner and went to bed. They dreamed of the park and the leopard and the ball. +Sara and Tom were lost in the big sand. They were very hot and thirsty. They looked for water and shade, but they only saw more sand. They felt very sad and tired. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Sara said. + +"Me too, Sara. But we have to keep walking. Maybe we will find help," Tom said. + +They walked and walked until the sun was low. Then they saw something in the distance. It looked like a green spot with trees and water. It was an oasis! + +"Look, Sara! An oasis! Maybe we can drink and rest there," Tom said. + +They ran towards the oasis. But when they got closer, they saw that it was not real. It was a trick of the light. It was a glow that made the sand look green. There was no water or trees. There was only more sand. + +"Oh no, Tom! It is not an oasis! It is a glow! We are still lost!" Sara said. + +They felt very poor and hopeless. They sat down on the sand and cried. They wished someone would find them and take them home. They did not know what to do. +Tim and Sue liked to play in the garden. They dug holes and made mud pies. They found worms and bugs. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a big bag of soil near the fence. It was for Dad's new plants. Tim and Sue wanted to use it for their game. They opened the bag and poured the soil on the ground. They made a big hill and a big tunnel. They laughed and rolled in the soil. + +Dad came home and saw the mess. He was very angry. He shouted at Tim and Sue. He said they wasted the soil and ruined his plants. He said they had to restore the soil to the bag. He said they had to go to their room and no more play. + +Tim and Sue felt very sad. They tried to restore the soil to the bag, but it was hard. The soil was wet and heavy. They could not lift it. They could not fit it. They cried and said sorry. + +Dad did not listen. He said they were bad and naughty. He said they had to stay in their room until dinner. He said they had no dessert. He said they had no toys. He said they had no fun. + +Tim and Sue went to their room. They had no soil, no plants, no worms, no bugs, no mud pies, no hill, no tunnel, no laugh, no roll, no play. They had no fun. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a long trunk. They wanted to climb it and see the birds. + +"Can we go up, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Be careful, okay? The trunk is very high and the branches are thin," her mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and started to climb. They held on to the trunk and the branches. They saw many birds and leaves. They felt happy. + +But then, the wind started to blow. The tree began to sway. The branches shook. Lily and Tom felt scared. + +"Mom, help!" Tom cried. He felt dizzy and wanted to go down. + +"Hold on, sweetie! I'm coming!" Mom said. She climbed up the tree and reached for Tom. + +But as she did, a branch snapped. Mom and Tom fell to the ground. Lily saw them and screamed. + +"Mom! Tom!" She trembled and cried. She wanted to go down too, but she was stuck. + +"Help! Help!" She shouted. + +A man heard her and came to help. He was a firefighter. He had a ladder and a helmet. He put the ladder against the trunk and climbed up. He reached for Lily and held her. + +"Don't worry, little girl. You're safe now," he said. + +He carried her down the ladder and gave her to her mom. Mom hugged Lily and Tom. They were bruised and scratched, but they were okay. + +"Thank you, sir. You saved us," Mom said. + +"You're welcome, ma'am. I'm glad you're all right," the firefighter said. + +He smiled and waved. He went back to his truck and drove away. + +Lily and Tom said goodbye to the tree. They learned a lesson. They would never climb a high trunk again. They would play on the swings and the slide instead. They felt dizzy no more. They felt happy again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to find rocks and pretend they were treasures. They had a big box where they kept their rocks. + +"Look, I found a shiny rock!" Lily said, holding a smooth pebble. + +"Wow, that's a nice rock!" Tom said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave Tom the rock. He looked at it and smiled. + +"Let's mail this rock to Grandma," he said. "She will like it too." + +"OK, how do we mail it?" Lily asked. + +Tom thought for a moment. He saw a red envelope on the table. He ran to get it. + +"We can put the rock in here," he said, opening the envelope. "And write Grandma's name on it." + +He took a crayon and wrote G-R-A-M-A on the envelope. He put the rock inside and sealed it. + +"Where is the mailbox?" Lily asked. + +Tom pointed to the big blue box on the street. + +"Over there," he said. "Come on, let's go." + +They took the envelope and ran to the mailbox. Tom lifted the flap and dropped the envelope inside. + +"Bye-bye, rock!" he said. "Have fun with Grandma!" + +They heard a growl from their stomachs. They were hungry. + +"Let's go home and have a snack," Lily said. + +"OK, let's go," Tom said. + +They held hands and walked back to their house. They were happy. They had mailed a rock to Grandma. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be rich. They find some cardboard in the garage. They cut the cardboard into shapes. They make hats, necklaces, rings and crowns. They wear the cardboard and say, "We are rich! We have a lot of jewels!" + +They go to the garden and pretend to have a tea party. They use plastic cups and plates. They pretend to eat cake and drink tea. They talk in funny voices. They say, "Hello, darling. How are you today? Do you like my hat? It is very expensive and shiny!" + +A dog comes to the garden. It is a big dog. It is brown and furry. It sees the cardboard. It thinks the cardboard is a toy. It runs to Tom and Lily. It barks and jumps. It grabs the cardboard and runs away. It tears the cardboard into pieces. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They say, "Oh no! The dog took our jewels! We are not rich anymore! We have nothing to wear!" They cry and hug each other. + +The dog comes back. It is happy. It wags its tail. It licks Tom and Lily. It says, "Woof, woof! I like you! You are my friends! Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Lily stop crying. They smile and laugh. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you! You are a nice dog! We don't need jewels to have fun! We have you!"

She realizes that playing by herself is not fun. She misses Ben and his planes. She wishes she had been more friendly and shared her cars with him. + +She learns a lesson. She learns that sharing is good and that playing with different toys can be fun. She learns that having a friend is better than having many cars. She decides to call Ben and say sorry. She hopes he will forgive her and come back to play with her. She hopes they can be friends again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and share them. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want to play with the same truck. They pull and tug and yell. + +"Mine!" Anna says. + +"No, mine!" Ben says. + +They do not listen to Mommy, who tells them to stop. They spoil their fun. The truck breaks in two. Anna and Ben cry. + +Mommy is sad and angry. She takes them to the hospital.

They like to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also like to look for fish and frogs and ducks. But they know they have to be careful, because the lake is deep and they cannot swim. + +One day, Sara has a big idea. She finds a big stick and says to Ben, "Let's test how deep the lake is. I will hold one end of the stick and you hold the other. Then we can walk into the water and see how far we can go." + +Ben thinks this sounds fun, but he is also a little scared. He says, "Are you sure this is a good idea? What if we fall in? What if the stick breaks?" + +Sara says, "Don't worry, it will be easy. The stick is strong and we will hold on tight. Come on, let's try it." + +They take the stick and walk to the edge of the lake. They step into the water and feel it cold and wet on their feet. They keep walking and the water gets higher and higher. They see the fish and frogs and ducks swim away from them. They think they are very brave and clever. + +But then, something bad happens. The stick gets stuck on a rock and they cannot move it. They pull and pull, but it does not budge. The water is now up to their chests and they start to panic.

How do we start?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "We need a big paper. And we need to use the colors in order. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. These are the colors of the rainbow." + +Ben nods. He says, "I know these colors. But I don't have purple. Do you have purple?" + +Anna shakes her head. She says, "No, I don't have purple either. What can we do?" + +Ben has a smart idea. He says, "I suggest we make purple. We can mix blue and red together. Then we have purple." + +Anna smiles. She says, "That's a good idea. Let's try it." + +They take a blue crayon and a red crayon. They rub them on the paper. They see a new color. It is purple. + +They say, "Wow, we made purple.

"You have something else that can help you fly. Do you know what it is?" + +Lila shook her head. She did not know. + +"It is your imagination," the bird said. "You can close your eyes and pretend that you are flying anywhere you want. You can fly over the mountains, the sea, the forest, or the stars. You can fly with me, or with other friends. You can fly as fast or as slow as you want. You can fly with your balloon, or without it. You can fly with your imagination." + +Lila opened her eyes wide. She smiled and nodded.

"It says you are very pretty and soft and good at jumping." + +"Thank you, Mia, you are very sweet and cute and good at drawing," Mrs. Cat said in a high voice. + +Tom and Mia had fun delivering letters to all their toys, until they came to the last one: a blue whale. The whale was very big and had a smile on its face, but it looked lonely. + +"Hello, Mr. Whale, this is a letter for you," Tom said, holding a paper that was too small for the whale. "It says you are very brilliant and brave and good at swimming." + +"Thank you, Tom, you are very nice and friendly and good at words," Mr. Whale said in a low voice. + +"But Mr. Whale, do you have any friends to play with?" Mia asked, feeling sorry for the whale. + +"No, I don't," Mr. Whale said, looking sad. "I am the only whale in this room, and I miss the ocean and the other whales." + +Tom and Mia thought for a moment, and then they had an idea. + +"Mr. Whale, we have a surprise for you," Tom said, smiling. "We have a special letter for you, but we have to deliver it outside." + +"Really? What is it?" Mr. Whale asked, curious. + +"Come with us and see," Mia said, grabbing one end of the whale. "It's a brilliant letter, you'll love it." + +Tom and Mia dragged the whale to the door, and then outside to the backyard. There, they had filled a big pool with water and put some fish and seaweed in it. They also had a big sign that said: "Welcome home, Mr. Whale!" + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Mr. Whale said, happy. "This is the best letter ever! Thank you, Tom and Mia, you are the best friends ever!" + +Tom and Mia helped Mr. Whale into the pool, and watched him splash and play with the fish and seaweed. They joined him in the water, and had a great time together. + +The end. +Tom is a big boy now. He goes to school with his new uniform. He likes his uniform. It is blue and white. He has a shirt, a tie, a jumper and trousers. He also has a hat and a bag. + +At school, Tom learns many things. He learns to read, to write, to count and to draw. He has a teacher and many friends. He plays with them at break time. He likes school. + +One day, Tom has a big test. He has to write his name and some words. He has to count some things. He has to draw a picture. He is nervous. He wants to do well. + +Tom tries his best. He writes his name and some words. He counts some things. He draws a picture. He finishes his test. He is happy. He shows his teacher. + +His teacher smiles. She says, "Well done, Tom! You did a great job. You finished your test. You are a clever boy." She gives him a sticker. It is a star. Tom is proud. He puts the sticker on his jumper. He loves his new uniform. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they are in their room with their toys. Lily has a big doll and Ben has a small car. + +"Look at my doll, she is so pretty and has a nice dress," Lily says to Ben. "Your car is boring and old." + +Ben feels envious of Lily's doll. He wants to have a nice toy too. He grabs the doll from Lily's hands and runs away. + +"Hey, give it back, that's mine!" Lily shouts and chases Ben. + +Ben runs to the living room, where their mom is doing laundry. He hides behind the couch with the doll. Lily follows him and tries to reach the doll. + +"Mom, mom, Ben took my doll, make him give it back!" Lily cries. + +Mom looks at them and sighs. She puts down the laundry basket and walks to the couch. + +"Ben, why did you take Lily's doll? That's not nice, you have to share," Mom says to Ben. + +"But I want a nice toy too, Mom. Lily always has the best toys," Ben says. + +Mom hugs Ben and says, "I know, honey, but taking things from others is not the way to get them. You have to ask nicely and wait for your turn. And you know what? You have a nice toy too. Your car is very cool and fast. Lily likes it too, don't you, Lily?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, I do, Ben. I'm sorry I said your car was boring and old. Can we trade toys for a while?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Okay, Lily, let's trade. But only for a while, okay?" + +Mom says, "That's very good, kids. I'm proud of you for being kind and fair. Now, why don't you help me with the laundry? We can fold the clothes and make them neat." + +Lily and Ben agree and help Mom with the laundry. They have fun and forget about their fight. They learn that sharing is better than being envious. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They zoomed and vroomed around the grass and the dirt. + +"Look at my car, it's so fast!" Lila said. + +"Mine is faster, watch this!" Ben said. He pushed his car hard and tried to make it jump over a rock. But he pushed too hard and his car flew in the air and landed on a tire. The tire was old and rusty and had a big hole in it. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. He ran to get his car, but it was stuck in the tire. He pulled and pulled, but it wouldn't come out. He started to cry. + +"Don't cry, Ben, I'll help you," Lila said. She ran to the tire and tried to pull the car out too. But it was still stuck. She looked around and saw a stick. She had an idea. + +"Ben, I have an idea. Let's use this stick to snap the tire. Maybe then the car will come out," she said. + +"OK, let's try," Ben said. He wiped his tears and took the stick from Lila. They both pushed the stick into the hole and twisted it. The tire made a loud noise and snapped. The car fell out of the tire and landed on the grass. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lila and Ben said. They hugged each other and picked up the car. It was a little dirty, but it was still working. + +"Thank you, Lila, you're brilliant," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, Ben, you're brilliant too," Lila said. They smiled and went back to playing with their cars. They had fun and forgot about the tire. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen to search for food. They opened the fridge and saw many things. + +"What do you want to eat?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I want cheese," Tom said. + +"I want jam," Lily said. + +They took out cheese and jam and bread. They made sandwiches for themselves. They sat at the table and bit their sandwiches. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This jam is spicy. It hurts my tongue." + +"Yum!" Tom said. "This cheese is good. It is soft and salty." + +They looked at each other. They had different opinions. They swapped their sandwiches and tried again. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "This jam is spicy. It makes me cry." + +"Yum!" Lily said. "This cheese is good. It is smooth and tasty." + +They smiled at each other. They had different opinions, but they were still friends. They finished their sandwiches and drank some water. They were not hungry anymore. They went to play with their toys. +Lila was a human girl who liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She had a yellow dress that made her happy when she skipped. + +One day, she met a dog who also liked to skip. The dog was brown and fluffy and had a big smile. He skipped next to Lila and wagged his tail. + +"Hello, dog," Lila said. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Hello, human," the dog said. "Yes, I want to be your friend. What is your name?" + +"My name is Lila. What is your name?" + +"My name is Skip. Because I like to skip." + +Lila and Skip laughed and skipped together. They had a lot of fun. They became the best friends in the world. They always skipped and smiled. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They like to run and jump and splash in the water. They have a big towel to dry themselves when they are wet. + +"Tom, come here!" Lily calls. "I have a surprise for you!" + +Tom runs to Lily. She is holding a big, yellow towel behind her back. + +"What is it?" Tom asks. + +Lily smiles and throws the towel over Tom's head. She wraps it around him and hugs him. + +"Got you!" she says. "You are my towel monster!" + +Tom laughs and tries to get out of the towel. He wiggles and squirms and tickles Lily. + +"Let me go!" he says. "I am not a monster, I am Tom!" + +Lily is persistent. She does not let go of Tom. She likes to play with him and make him laugh. + +"No, you are my monster!" she says. "And you have to stay with me!" + +Tom and Lily roll on the grass, wrapped in the towel. They giggle and have fun. They are happy and silly. They are friends. +Anna loved her pony, Spot. He was brown and white and very obedient. He always came when she called him and let her brush his mane and tail. Anna liked to ride Spot around the farm and visit the other animals. + +One day, Spot stepped on a sharp rock and hurt his hoof. He limped and whined and could not run. Anna was very sad and worried. She ran to get her dad, who was a vet. He looked at Spot's hoof and said, "Don't worry, Anna. Spot has a small cut, but it will heal soon. I will clean it and put a bandage on it. He needs to rest and drink water. You can help him by being gentle and patient." + +Anna nodded and hugged her dad. She thanked him for helping Spot. She stayed with Spot and stroked his head. She told him stories and sang him songs. She brought him carrots and apples to eat. She said, "I love you, Spot. You are a brave and good pony. You will get better soon and we will ride again." + +Spot listened to Anna and felt her love. He licked her hand and nuzzled her cheek. He was glad to have her as his friend. He trusted her and obeyed her. He felt his hoof heal a little every day. He was happy and hopeful. + +After a week, Spot's hoof was healed. He could walk and run again. He was eager to go out and explore. Anna was happy too. She took off his bandage and put on his saddle. She climbed on his back and said, "Let's go, Spot. You are a strong and healthy pony. I am proud of you." Spot neighed and trotted away. He followed Anna wherever she went. They had fun and adventures. They were the best friends ever. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Magic Show". They wanted to see the magic show, so they ran to the tent. + +Inside the tent, there was a man with a long coat and a hat. He had a staff in his hand. The staff was shiny and had a star on top. The man looked pale and tired. He smiled at Sara and Tom and said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see some magic?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They liked magic. The man said, "OK, then. Watch this." He waved his staff and said some words. A rabbit popped out of his hat. Sara and Tom clapped and laughed. + +The man said, "Do you want to see more?" Sara and Tom said, "Yes, please!" The man said, "All right. But first, I need a volunteer. Who wants to help me?" Sara raised her hand. She wanted to help. + +The man said, "Come here, little girl. Don't be afraid." He took Sara by the hand and led her to a big box. He said, "This is my magic box. I will put you inside and make you disappear. Then I will bring you back. Are you ready?" + +Sara was a bit scared, but she nodded. She trusted the man. He opened the box and said, "Get in, please." Sara got in the box. The man closed the lid and locked it. He said, "Now, I will say the magic words and wave my staff. Then you will be gone. Ready?" + +Sara said, "Ready!" The man said the magic words and waved his staff. He opened the lid and said, "Ta-da! She is gone!" He showed the empty box to Tom and the other children. They gasped and clapped. + +The man said, "But don't worry. She is not really gone. She is just hiding. I will bring her back. Watch this." He said the magic words and waved his staff again. He opened the lid and said, "Ta-da! She is back!" He showed Sara to Tom and the other children. They cheered and clapped. + +Sara was happy. She was not gone. She was just in another place. She saw a lot of colors and lights. She heard a lot of sounds and voices. She felt a lot of magic. She smiled and said, "That was fun!" + +The man said, "You did great, little girl. Thank you for helping me. You are very brave." He gave Sara a hug and a candy. He said, "Now, go back to your friend. And remember, magic is everywhere. You just have to believe." + +Sara said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. I believe in magic." She ran back to Tom and gave him a hug. They said, "That was the best magic show ever!" + +The man smiled and said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind. I hope you enjoyed the show. Have a nice day." He waved his staff and said, "Goodbye!" He leaned on his staff and walked out of the tent. He looked pale and tired, but also happy and proud. He loved magic. And he loved children. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is taller than you!" + +Lily smiled and clapped her hands. "Wow, Ben, that is a great tower! Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Here, take some blocks and put them on top." Ben said, handing her some blocks. + +They worked together to make the tower bigger and bigger. They were having fun and did not notice that it was getting dark outside. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Max, who had run into the living room. He saw the tower and thought it was a toy. He jumped on it and knocked it down. The blocks scattered all over the floor. + +"Max, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. They were sad and angry. They had worked hard to make the tower and now it was gone. + +Their mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy either. She scolded Max and told him to go to his bed. Then she turned to Lily and Ben. + +"I have some news for you, kids. It is time for dinner. And after dinner, it is time for bed. You have to clean up your blocks before you eat. And you have to hurry, because it is very dark outside and you need to sleep." She said. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They did not want to clean up their blocks. They did not want to eat. They did not want to sleep. They wanted to play with their blocks and make another tower. But they knew they had to do what their mom said. They hoped that tomorrow they could play with their blocks again. And they hoped that Max would not ruin their tower again. +Sara and Tom like to play with hoops. They can spin them on their arms, legs and necks. They have fun and laugh a lot. One day, they find a big hoop in the park. It is shiny and colorful. They want to try it. + +"Can I spin it first?" Sara asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it is my turn," Tom says. + +Sara puts the hoop around her waist and tries to spin it. But the hoop is too big and heavy for her. It falls to the ground and makes a loud noise. Sara feels sad and cries. + +"Here, let me help you," Tom says. He is helpful and kind. He picks up the hoop and puts it around his waist. He spins it fast and easy. He smiles and says, "Look, I can do it!" + +Sara stops crying and watches Tom. She wants to try again. She says, "Can I have another turn, please?" + +Tom shakes his head and says, "No, this is my hoop now. I found it. You can't spin it. You are too small and weak." + +Sara feels angry and hurt. She says, "That is not fair! You said I could have a turn. You are not helpful. You are mean!" + +Tom does not care. He keeps spinning the hoop and says, "Too bad. Go away. This is my hoop and my fun." + +Sara runs away and looks for her mom. She tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. Tom was not nice to you. He should have shared the hoop with you. Maybe you can find another friend to play with." + +Sara nods and says, "OK, mom. I don't want to play with Tom anymore. He is not my friend." + +The end. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have fun. + +One day, Sam finds a note on his door. The note is black. It has some words on it. Sam cannot read the words. He shows the note to Ben. + +"What is this?" Sam asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is a secret message. Maybe someone wants to play with us." + +Sam and Ben are curious. They look around. They see a trail of black notes on the ground. They follow the trail. They hope to find the person who left the notes. + +The trail leads them to a big tree. Under the tree, they see a girl. She has black hair and black eyes. She is holding a block. She smiles at them. + +"Hi, I am Mia," she says. "I left the notes for you. I want to play with you. I like blocks too. Can I join you?" + +Sam and Ben are happy. They like Mia. They say yes. They give her some blocks. They build together. They make new friends. They have more fun. +Mia and Leo were playing hide and seek in the park. Mia was the seeker and Leo was the hider. Mia counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree with many leaves. She thought Leo might be hiding behind the tree. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you!" + +But when she reached the tree, she did not see Leo. She only saw a pretty bird with blue and yellow feathers. The bird was sitting on a branch and singing a song. Mia was surprised and smiled. She liked the bird. She said, "Hello, bird. You are very pretty. What is your name?" + +The bird stopped singing and looked at Mia. It said, "My name is Coco. I am not Leo. Leo is hiding somewhere else. He told me to reveal his hiding spot if you give me a seed." + +Mia was amazed. She did not know that birds could talk. She wanted to find Leo, but she also wanted to talk to Coco. She said, "Where can I find a seed?" + +Coco said, "There is a bag of seeds on the bench. Leo left it there. He likes to feed me and my friends. He is very kind. But he is also very sneaky. He likes to hide in tricky places." + +Mia ran to the bench and grabbed the bag of seeds. She opened it and took out a seed. She ran back to the tree and gave the seed to Coco. Coco took the seed and ate it. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are very nice. Now I will tell you where Leo is. He is hiding under the slide. He thinks you will not look there. But you are very smart. You will find him." + +Mia thanked Coco and ran to the slide. She looked under it and saw Leo. He was lying on the ground and holding his breath. He did not see Mia. Mia said, "I found you, Leo! You are a good hider, but Coco is a better revealer. He told me where you are." + +Leo jumped up and gasped. He saw Mia and Coco. He said, "Oh, no! Coco, you betrayed me! How could you?" + +Coco said, "I did not betray you, Leo. I made a deal with Mia. She gave me a seed and I gave her a clue. It was fair and fun. You should not be mad. You should be happy. You have a good friend and a good game." + +Leo looked at Mia and Coco. He felt a little sad and a little happy. He said, "You are right, Coco. You are a clever bird and a good friend. And Mia, you are a great seeker and a good friend. I am sorry I was mad. Can we play again?" + +Mia and Coco smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we can play again. But first, let us listen to Coco's song. He has a pretty voice and a good lecture. He can teach us many things about birds and parks and games." + +They all sat under the tree and listened to Coco's song. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun. They played hide and seek and other games until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to each other and promised to meet again. They were happy and proud. They had a good day and a good story. +Anna was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to dress them up and comb their hair. She had a lot of dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long blonde hair and a pink dress. Anna loved Lily very much. + +But one day, Anna's brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Anna. He saw Lily on the bed and grabbed her. "Hey, can I play with this doll?" he asked. + +"No, Tom, that's Lily, she's mine!" Anna said. She tried to take Lily back, but Tom was stronger. He pulled Lily away from Anna and ran out of the room. + +Anna was very angry and sad. She followed Tom and saw him in the living room. He was playing with Lily, but not nicely. He was twisting her arms and legs and making her do silly things. He even took off her shoes and socks and looked at her toes. + +"Look, Anna, this doll has disgusting toes!" he said. He showed Anna Lily's toes, which were dirty and scratched. "She needs new toes, I'll replace them for her!" + +He reached for a pair of scissors on the table and cut off Lily's toes. He threw them on the floor and laughed. + +Anna screamed and cried. She ran to Tom and snatched Lily from him. She hugged Lily and looked at her poor toes. They were gone, and there was only red stuff coming out. Anna was very scared and sad. + +"Tom, you're so mean, you hurt Lily!" she said. "You have to say sorry and fix her!" + +Tom stopped laughing and looked at Anna. He saw that she was really upset and that Lily was really hurt. He felt bad and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to hurt Lily," he said. "I was just playing, I didn't know she had real toes. I'll fix her, I promise." + +He picked up the scissors and the toes from the floor and tried to put them back on Lily. But it was too hard and it didn't work. He didn't know what to do. + +Anna saw that Tom was sorry and trying to help. She felt a little better and less angry. She had an idea. + +"Tom, you can't fix Lily with scissors, you need glue," she said. "Mom has glue in the kitchen, let's go get it." + +She took Tom's hand and led him to the kitchen. They found the glue and went back to the living room. They put glue on Lily's toes and stuck them back on her feet. They waited for the glue to dry and hoped that Lily would be okay. + +Anna looked at Lily and smiled. Her toes were back on, but they were still dirty and scratched. She didn't care. She still loved Lily very much. + +"Thank you, Tom, for helping me fix Lily," she said. "But don't ever play with her again, okay?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was glad that Anna was not mad at him anymore. He didn't want to play with Lily again. He thought she had disgusting toes. He wanted to play with his cars instead. + +"Okay, Anna, I won't play with Lily again," he said. "But can I play with you?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She was happy that Tom was nice to her again. She wanted to play with him. + +"Okay, Tom, you can play with me," she said. "But only if you're nice to my dolls." + +They hugged and went to play together. Lily was happy too. She had her toes back and her best friend Anna. She didn't mind that her toes were disgusting. She knew that Anna loved her anyway. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a toy boat that they could sail on the pond. They also liked to look for mushrooms under the trees. They knew they could not eat them, but they liked their shapes and colors. + +One day, they found a big mushroom that looked like an umbrella. It was red with white spots. Sam had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's sail on the mushroom. It can be our boat." + +Mia thought it was a fun game. She said, "OK, let's do it." They lifted the mushroom and carried it to the pond. They put it on the water and climbed on it. They pretended to be pirates and explorers. + +But the mushroom was not a good boat. It was wobbly and slippery. It spun around and around on the water. Sam and Mia felt dizzy. They said, "Whoa, this is not fun. This is scary. Let's get off." + +They tried to jump off the mushroom, but they fell into the pond. They got wet and cold. They cried for help. A nice lady saw them and helped them out. She said, "You should not play with mushrooms. They are not toys. They can be dangerous. Come, I will take you to your mom and dad." + +Sam and Mia were sorry. They said, "Thank you, lady. We are sorry. We will not play with mushrooms again. We will only sail with our toy boat." They learned their lesson. They hugged their mom and dad and went home. They had a warm bath and a hot chocolate. They said, "We love you, mom and dad. We will be careful next time." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with buttons. They have many buttons of different colors and shapes. They plan to make a picture with buttons on a big paper. + +"Look, I have a red button. It is round and shiny. I will use it for the sun," Anna says. + +"I have a blue button. It is square and smooth. I will use it for the sky," Ben says. + +They glue their buttons on the paper. They find more buttons for the grass, the flowers, the trees, and the animals. They make a colorful picture with buttons. + +"Wow, our picture is so pretty. We are good at planning," Anna says. + +"Yes, we are. Let's show it to mom and dad. They will be happy," Ben says. + +They run to their parents with their picture. Mom and dad smile and hug them. + +"What a wonderful picture. You are very creative and clever. We are proud of you," mom says. + +"Thank you. We had fun with buttons. We want to make more pictures," Anna says. + +"Me too. We have many buttons left. We can plan more things," Ben says. + +Mom and dad help them to hang their picture on the wall. They all admire their colorful work. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked under the bed, behind the curtains, and in the closet. She could not find him. + +"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I give up!" + +Ben giggled and jumped out of the armchair in the living room. He had hidden behind a big pillow. "Here I am, Lily! You did not find me! I win!" + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. "You are a good hider, Ben. But I am a good seeker too. Let's play again!" + +"Okay, but this time I am the seeker and you are the hider. And no hiding in the armchair. That is too easy!" + +Lily agreed and ran to find a new hiding spot. She thought of a clever place where Ben would never look. She hid in the kitchen, behind the trash can. She hoped Ben would not smell the trash. + +Ben counted to ten and then looked for Lily. He checked under the table, behind the sofa, and in the bathtub. He could not find her. + +"Where are you, Lily?" he called out. "I give up!" + +Lily smiled and came out of the kitchen. She had hidden behind the trash can. "Here I am, Ben! You did not find me! I win!" + +Ben ran to her and hugged her. "You are a good hider, Lily. But I am a good seeker too. Let's play again!" + +"Okay, but this time let's play outside. It is a sunny day and we need some fresh air. That is healthy for us!" + +Lily agreed and they ran outside to play hide and seek in the garden. They had a lot of fun and did not surrender until it was time for lunch. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big white bird on a tree. It has long wings and a yellow beak. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily says. "It is so pretty and white. What is it?" + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers a book he read with his mom. "I think it is a swan," he says. "Swans are peaceful birds. They live near water and eat plants." + +Lily nods. She wants to see the swan up close. She decides to walk towards the tree. "Come on, Ben, let's go say hello to the swan," she says. + +Ben is not sure. He decides to stay where he is. He is a little scared of the swan. He thinks it might bite or flap its wings. "No, Lily, wait," he says. "The swan might not like us. Maybe we should leave it alone." + +Lily does not listen. She keeps walking towards the tree. She smiles and waves at the swan. "Hello, swan," she says. "You are so beautiful. Can we be friends?" + +The swan looks at Lily. It does not say anything. It does not move. It just stares at her with its black eyes. + +Lily feels something is wrong. She stops walking. She feels a cold wind on her face. She hears a loud honk from the swan. She sees the swan open its beak and stretch its neck. + +Lily is scared. She decides to run back to Ben. She screams and cries. "Help, Ben, help!" she says. "The swan is angry. It does not want to be friends." + +Ben sees Lily running. He decides to help her. He runs towards her and hugs her. He says, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. I'm here. The swan can't hurt us. Let's go away from the tree." + +Lily and Ben run away from the tree. They leave the park. They decide to never bother the swan again. They learn that some animals are not peaceful. They learn that some animals are better to watch from far away. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have red, blue, yellow and green paint. They can make different colors by mixing them. + +One day, Lily wants to paint an orange picture. She knows how to make orange. She needs red and yellow paint. She looks for the red and yellow paint, but she cannot find them. She sees Ben. He has the red and yellow paint. He is painting a big sun. + +"Ben, can I have some red and yellow paint?" Lily asks. "I want to paint an orange picture." + +"No, you cannot have them," Ben says. "I need them for my sun. Go away." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She wants to paint an orange picture, but Ben will not share. She thinks Ben is mean. She does not want to be his friend. + +She sees a big brush. She has an idea. She dips the brush in the green paint. She runs to Ben's sun. She paints a big green spot on it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben shouts. "You ruined my sun!" + +Lily laughs. She thinks Ben's sun looks funny. She says, "Now you have an orange and green sun. Maybe you will share next time." + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like his sun anymore. He thinks Lily is mean. He does not want to be her friend. + +They both cry. They do not play with paint anymore. They do not have fun. +Sam and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had two pistols that could shoot water. They liked to spray each other and laugh. + +But Sam was not happy. He wanted to win. He wanted to make Ben wet and dry himself. He had a plan. He hid his pistol behind a bush and waited for Ben to come closer. + +"Hey, Ben, where are you?" Sam called. "Do you want to play hide and seek?" + +"OK, Sam, I'll count to ten and then I'll find you," Ben said. He closed his eyes and started to count. + +Sam smiled. He grabbed his pistol and ran to the hose. He filled his pistol with more water. He thought Ben would be weak and easy to spray. + +But Ben was smart. He saw Sam's pistol behind the bush. He picked it up and filled it with water too. He thought Sam would be surprised and wet. + +Ben finished counting and opened his eyes. He saw Sam coming back with his pistol. He hid behind a tree and waited for Sam to get closer. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Sam shouted. He looked for Ben. He saw a tree moving. He thought Ben was there. He aimed his pistol and sprayed. + +But Ben was not there. He was behind Sam. He aimed his pistol and sprayed. + +"Gotcha!" Ben yelled. + +Sam felt the water on his back. He turned around and saw Ben. He was wet and angry. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You took my pistol!" Sam cried. + +"No, I didn't. I found it. You left it. You tried to cheat!" Ben said. + +They both dropped their pistols and started to push each other. They were not friends anymore. They were enemies. +Tim and Lily like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and dig holes. They also like to run and splash in the water. They watch the tide go in and out. Sometimes the tide is high and covers their sand castles. Sometimes the tide is low and leaves shells and seaweed. + +One day, Tim and Lily decide to have a race. They want to see who can run faster from the sand to the water and back. They draw a line on the sand with a stick. They stand behind the line and get ready. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Tim asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tim," Lily answers. + +"OK, on your mark, get set, go!" Tim shouts. + +They both start to run as fast as they can. They feel the wind in their hair and the sand under their feet. They reach the water and touch it with their hands. Then they turn around and run back to the line. + +Tim is ahead of Lily. He thinks he is going to win. He smiles and runs faster. But then he trips on a shell and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. + +Lily sees Tim fall. She stops running and runs to him. She helps him get up and hugs him. + +"Are you OK, Tim?" Lily asks. + +"It hurts, Lily," Tim says. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. You were very fast. You almost won," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are the winner," Tim says. + +Lily smiles and kisses his cheek. + +"No, Tim. We are both winners. We had fun and we are friends," Lily says. + +They hug each other and walk back to their sand castles. They are cheerful and happy. They don't care about the tide. They only care about each other. +Anna and Ben love to play with stamps. They have many stamps with different shapes and colors. They like to stamp on paper, on cards, on envelopes, and sometimes on their hands. + +One day, they find a big box in the attic. The box has a label that says "Grandpa's stamps". They open the box and see many old stamps from different places. They see stamps with animals, with flowers, with buildings, with flags, and with people. + +"Wow, look at these stamps!" Anna says. "They are so pretty and interesting. I wonder where they are from." + +"Let's ask Grandpa," Ben says. "Maybe he can tell us stories about them." + +They take the box downstairs and show it to Grandpa. Grandpa smiles and hugs them. He is happy to see them interested in his stamps. + +"These are my stamps from when I was young," Grandpa says. "I used to collect them from letters and postcards that I got from my friends and family around the world. They remind me of the places I visited and the people I met." + +"Can you tell us about them, Grandpa?" Anna asks. "We want to learn more." + +"Of course, my dear," Grandpa says. "Let me show you some of my favorites." + +Grandpa takes out some stamps and tells them stories about each one. He tells them about the lions in Africa, the cherry blossoms in Japan, the pyramids in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower in France, and the Statue of Liberty in America. He tells them about the cultures, the languages, the foods, and the customs of each place. He tells them about his adventures, his friends, his joys, and his challenges. + +Anna and Ben listen with excitement. They ask questions, they make comments, they laugh, and they wonder. They feel like they are traveling with Grandpa through his stamps. + +They spend a mild afternoon with Grandpa, learning and playing with his stamps. They thank him for sharing his stories and his stamps with them. They hug him and tell him they love him. + +They decide to make a scrapbook with some of the stamps and their own drawings and words. They want to keep a memory of Grandpa's stamps and stories. They want to show him how much they appreciate him and his stamps. +Tommy was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He did not hear his mom call him for bath time. She came to his room and saw the mess. + +"Tommy, it is time for your bath. Put away your cars and come with me," she said. + +"But I don't want a bath. I want to play more," Tommy said. He pouted and crossed his arms. + +"Sorry, but you have to take a bath. You are dirty and smelly. Baths are good for you. They make you clean and fresh. Come on, it will be fun. You can play with your rubber duck and your boat," his mom said. She smiled and picked him up. + +Tommy sighed and let his mom carry him to the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She helped him take off his clothes and put them in the hamper. She put him in the tub and gave him his toys. + +"See, this is not so bad. You can splash and make bubbles. And look, your duck is wearing a bathrobe. How cute is that?" she said. + +Tommy looked at his duck. It had a blue bathrobe with white dots. It had a belt that was tied around its waist. Tommy reached for the duck and tried to untie the belt. But it was hard. He pulled and twisted, but the knot did not come loose. + +"Mom, can you help me? I want to take off the duck's bathrobe. But the belt is hard to untie," he said. + +"Sure, I can help you. But why do you want to take off the duck's bathrobe? It looks cozy and warm," she said. + +"Because I want to see if the duck has a belly button. Like me," Tommy said. + +His mom laughed and helped him untie the belt. She opened the bathrobe and showed him the duck's belly. It did not have a belly button. It was smooth and yellow. + +"Look, the duck does not have a belly button. It is different from you. But that is okay. You are both special and cute. And you both need a bath," she said. + +She closed the bathrobe and tied the belt again. She washed Tommy's hair and body with soap and shampoo. She rinsed him with water and wrapped him in a towel. She dried him and put him in his pajamas. She gave him a hug and a kiss. + +"There, you are all clean and fresh. And so is your duck. Now, let's go to your room and read a story. Then, you can go to sleep," she said. + +"Okay, mom. I love you. And I love my duck. Even if it does not have a belly button," Tommy said. + +He held his duck and followed his mom to his room. He was happy and sleepy. He liked his bath after all. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games together. Today, they want to play a game with cards. Lily has a box of cards with animals on them. She opens the box and takes out the cards. + +"Let's prepare the game," Lily says. "We have to mix the cards and put them face down on the floor." + +"OK," Tom says. "I will help you. How do we play the game?" + +Lily explains the game. "We take turns to pick a card and show it to the other. If we have the same animal, we say 'match' and keep the cards. If we have different animals, we say 'no match' and put the cards back. The one who has the most cards at the end wins." + +"That sounds fun," Tom says. "Can I go first?" + +"Sure," Lily says. "But you have to close your eyes when you pick a card." + +Tom closes his eyes and reaches for a card. He opens his eyes and shows it to Lily. It is a cat. + +Lily looks at her card. It is a dog. + +"No match," they say together and laugh. They put the cards back and mix them again. + +They keep playing the game until they have no more cards left. They count their cards and see who has more. + +"Wow, you have more cards than me," Tom says. "You win the game." + +"Thank you," Lily says. "But you played very well too. You are a good friend." + +They smile and hug each other. They put the cards back in the box and close it. They are happy. They like to play games together. +True is a good dog. He likes to run and play with his friend Ben. Ben is a boy who lives in the house with True. They have a big yard with grass and trees and flowers. + +One day, True and Ben are playing in the yard. They are throwing a ball and catching it. True is very fast and he can catch the ball in his mouth. Ben is happy and he says, "Good boy, True! You are the best dog ever!" + +But then, True sees a cat. The cat is black and white and it is sitting on the fence. True does not like cats. He thinks they are mean and sneaky. He barks at the cat and he runs to the fence. He wants to chase the cat away. + +"True, no!" Ben says. He runs after True and he tries to stop him. He does not want True to get hurt or to hurt the cat. He loves True and he loves animals. + +But True is too fast and he jumps over the fence. He lands on the other side and he runs after the cat. The cat is scared and it runs away too. It runs across the street and it hides under a car. + +True does not see the car. He only sees the cat. He runs across the street and he tries to get the cat. But the car is moving and it is very big and loud. It honks at True and it brakes. True is scared and he stops. He does not know what to do. + +Ben sees the car and he is very scared too. He yells, "True, come back! Come back, True!" He hopes that True is okay and that the car does not hit him. + +True hears Ben and he looks at him. He sees that Ben is worried and he loves him. He forgets about the cat and he runs back to Ben. He jumps over the fence and he runs to Ben. He licks his face and he wags his tail. + +Ben hugs True and he says, "True, you are okay! I am so glad you are okay! You are a good dog, True, but you have to be careful. You cannot run after cats or cars. They are dangerous and they can hurt you. You have to stay with me and listen to me. I will keep you safe and I will play with you. Do you understand, True?" + +True looks at Ben and he nods. He understands and he is sorry. He does not want to make Ben sad or scared. He wants to make Ben happy and proud. He is a good dog and he loves Ben. He says, "Woof, woof!" and he smiles. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, animals, or superheroes. But outside, the sky was dark and the wind was loud. Lily and Tom did not like storms. They made them scared and sad. + +"Mom, can we go outside?" Lily asked. She wanted to see the flowers and the birds. + +"No, sweetie, it's not safe. There is a storm coming. We have to stay inside until it's over," Mom said. She was busy in the kitchen, making soup and bread. + +"But it's boring inside. We want to have fun," Tom complained. He threw his toy car on the floor. It made a loud bang. + +"Shh, Tom, don't be so loud. You have to be quiet when there is a storm. The storm doesn't like noise. It might get angry and make more thunder and lightning," Mom said. She came to the living room and picked up the toy car. She gave Tom a hug and a kiss. + +"Really? The storm doesn't like noise?" Lily asked. She looked at the window and saw the clouds and the rain. + +"Yes, really. The storm likes quiet. If we are quiet, the storm will calm down and go away. Then we can go outside and play again," Mom said. She smiled and gave Lily a hug and a kiss too. + +"Okay, Mom, we will be quiet. We will play with our toys softly. We will not complain. We will wait for the storm to go away," Lily and Tom said. They nodded and picked up their toys. They played with them softly and quietly. They hoped the storm would go away soon. They wanted to see the sun and the rainbow. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pool of water. It was black and dirty. Tom said, "Let's go and splash in the pool!" + +Lily said, "No, Tom, that's not a good idea. The pool is not for playing. It is for ducks and frogs. And it is very deep. You might sink and drown." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the pool and jumped in. He felt the cold water on his skin. He tried to swim, but he could not. He started to struggle. He was scared and he cried, "Help! Help! Lily, help me!" + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She ran to the pool and looked for him. She saw his head bobbing up and down. She grabbed a long stick and reached out to him. She said, "Tom, grab the stick! I will pull you out!" + +Tom saw the stick and grabbed it. Lily pulled hard and dragged him out of the pool. He was wet and shivering. He coughed and spat out the black water. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The pool is not for playing. It is dangerous." + +Lily hugged him and said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you're okay. Next time, let's play somewhere else. Somewhere safe and fun." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the stars. One night, they decided to camp in the backyard. They brought a tent, a flashlight and some snacks. + +"Look, Tom, the stars are so bright!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. "They are part of the universe. The universe is very big and has many things we don't know." + +"Wow, the universe is amazing!" Tom said, nodding. "But it is also very dark. I don't like the dark. It makes me scared." + +"Don't be scared, Tom. I am here with you. You can trust me. I will not let anything bad happen to you." Lily said, holding his hand. "The dark is not so bad. It is just the other side of the light. Sometimes we need the dark to see the stars better." + +"Really?" Tom asked, looking at her. "You are not scared of the dark?" + +"No, I am not. I like the dark. It makes me feel cozy and calm. And I like the stars. They make me feel happy and curious." Lily said, smiling. "Do you want to make a wish on a star?" + +"Okay, I will try." Tom said, squeezing her hand. "But you have to promise to stay with me." + +"I promise, Tom. I will always stay with you. You are my best friend." Lily said, hugging him. "Now, let's make a wish on a star. Maybe the universe will hear us and make it come true." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big cave and wanted to explore it. They did not tell their mom where they were going. + +Inside the cave, they found a giant who was sleeping on a pile of bones. He was very big and hairy and had a long nose and sharp teeth. Tom and Lily were scared, but they also wanted to see more. + +They tiptoed closer to the giant, but they stepped on a bone and made a loud noise. The giant woke up and saw them. He was very hungry and wanted to eat them. + +"Who are you? Why are you in my cave?" he roared. + +Tom and Lily tried to run away, but the giant blocked the entrance. They were trapped. + +"Please don't eat us, Mr. Giant. We are sorry, we did not know this was your cave. We were just curious," Lily said. + +"Curious? You are liars. You came to steal my food and my treasure. You are bad children," the giant said. + +"No, we are not liars. We are telling the truth. We have nothing to steal. We only have each other," Tom said. + +The giant looked at them and saw that they were holding hands. He remembered that he had a brother once, but he lost him in a war. He felt sad and lonely. + +"Maybe you are not liars. Maybe you are just foolish. You should not wander in the forest alone. It is dangerous. There are many wild animals and bad people. You should listen to your mom and stay home," the giant said. + +He moved aside and let them go. Tom and Lily ran out of the cave and back to their mom. They hugged her and told her what happened. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. + +Their mom was angry, but also relieved. She forgave them and told them to never lie or disobey her again. She also told them to be kind and respectful to everyone, even giants. She said that everyone has a heart and a story, and that sometimes they need a friend. Tom and Lily agreed and thanked her. They never went to the cave again. +Sara and Tom were playing on the shore. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. The sky was gloomy and the wind was cold, but they did not care. They were having fun. + +"Look, Sara, I found a big shell!" Tom said, holding up his treasure. "It has stripes and spots and a hole. Do you want it?" + +Sara smiled and nodded. She took the shell and put it to her ear. She hoped to hear the sound of the sea. But she heard something else. A hiss and a snap. + +"Ow!" Sara cried, dropping the shell. "It bit me!" + +Tom looked at the shell and saw a small crab crawling out of it. He recognized the crab. It was a mean crab. It had big claws and sharp teeth. It was not a nice crab. + +"Run, Sara, run!" Tom shouted, grabbing Sara's hand. "The crab is angry!" + +But it was too late. The crab had followed them. It jumped on Sara's leg and pinched it hard. Sara screamed and fell down. Tom tried to pull the crab off, but it was too strong. It pinched Tom's finger and made him bleed. + +Sara and Tom were scared and hurt. They cried for help, but no one heard them. The shore was empty and the sky was gloomy. The crab was happy. It had found a good meal. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to spin around and around until they felt dizzy. They pretended they were rockets flying to the moon. + +"Look, Tom, there is a chimney on that house!" Lily said, pointing to a big, modern house across the street. "Do you think there is a fire inside?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they have a fireplace to keep warm. Or maybe they have a stove to cook food. Or maybe they have a dragon that breathes fire!" Tom said, making a scary face. + +Lily giggled. "A dragon? That's silly, Tom. Dragons are not real. They are only in stories and pictures. And they don't live in modern houses. They live in caves and mountains." + +"Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Maybe this dragon is very smart and likes to live in a modern house. Maybe he likes to watch TV and play games and eat pizza. Maybe he is a friendly dragon and he wants to be our friend." Tom said, spinning faster and faster. + +Lily spun with him. "That would be fun, Tom. A friendly dragon who likes pizza. Maybe we can go and knock on the door and ask him. Maybe he will let us ride on his back and fly to the moon." + +They spun and spun until they fell on the grass, laughing and dreaming of the dragon in the chimney. +Ben was a big boy. He had a new baby sister, Lily. He wanted to help Mom and Dad with Lily. He liked to look at her in the crib. She was very small and cute. + +One day, Mom said, "Ben, can you help me wrap a present for Lily? It's her birthday tomorrow." Ben nodded. He liked to wrap presents. He followed Mom to the living room. Mom gave him a big, soft blanket. It was pink and had flowers on it. + +"Can you fold the blanket like this?" Mom showed Ben how to fold the blanket in half, then in half again. Ben tried to copy Mom. He folded the blanket, but it was hard. The blanket was too big for him. He dropped it on the floor. He felt sad. + +Mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. You can try again. Here, let me help you." She picked up the blanket and helped Ben fold it. Then she said, "Now, can you put the blanket in this box?" She gave Ben a small, white box. Ben took the box and put the blanket inside. He was happy. + +Mom said, "Good job, Ben! You wrapped a present for Lily. She will love it. Do you want to give it to her?" Ben nodded. He wanted to give the present to Lily. He picked up the box and followed Mom to the crib. Lily was sleeping. She looked very peaceful. + +Ben said, "Shh, Mom. Lily is sleeping. We have to be quiet." He tiptoed to the crib and put the box next to Lily. He said, "Happy birthday, Lily. This is a present from me. It's a blanket. You can use it when you are cold. I hope you like it." + +Lily opened her eyes. She saw the box. She was confused. She did not know what it was. She reached for it. She touched it. It felt hard. She pushed it. It fell off the crib. It made a loud noise. Lily started to cry. + +Ben was shocked. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He said, "Oh no, Lily. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Please don't cry. I love you." He tried to hug Lily, but Mom stopped him. + +Mom said, "Ben, it's okay. Lily is just surprised. She doesn't understand what a present is. She will learn soon. You are a very sweet brother. You did a very nice thing for Lily. Thank you for helping me wrap the present. Come on, let's go and get some cake. We can celebrate Lily's birthday together." She picked up Ben and kissed him. She picked up the box and the blanket. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. We'll be back soon. We'll open the present together. You'll see. It's a very beautiful blanket. You'll love it." She smiled at Lily and kissed her. She took Ben and the present to the kitchen. Lily stopped crying. She looked at the crib. She was still confused. She wondered what a present was. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Lily was a princess who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She also had a pink dress and a crown that she wore when she pretended to be a queen. + +One day, she invited her friend Max to play with her. Max was a boy who liked to play with cars and trucks. He brought his toy car with him and showed it to Lily. "Look, this is my car. It can go very fast and make loud noises. Do you want to try it?" he asked. + +Lily nodded and took the car from Max. She pushed it on the floor and made it zoom around the dollhouse. She liked the car, but she also wanted to show Max her dolls. "Look, these are my dolls. They are very pretty and have nice clothes. Do you want to play with them?" she asked. + +Max shook his head and took the car back from Lily. He did not like the dolls, he thought they were boring and silly. He wanted to play with his car more. He pushed it on the floor and made it crash into the dollhouse. He laughed and said, "This is fun. The car can break the dollhouse. Watch this!" + +Lily did not like what Max was doing. He was ruining her dollhouse and her dolls. She felt angry and sad. She tried to stop Max, but he was stronger than her. She pulled his arm and said, "Stop it, Max. You are being mean. This is my dollhouse and my dolls. You have to be nice to them. Please, give me back my car." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He pulled his arm away from her and said, "No, this is my car. You can't have it. I don't want to play with your dolls. They are stupid. I want to play with my car. Go away, Lily." + +Lily felt hurt and cried. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She hugged her dolls and said, "I'm sorry, dolls. Max is a bad boy. He doesn't know how to play. He doesn't want to be my friend. I don't like him anymore." + +Max heard Lily crying and felt sorry. He realized he was being rude and mean. He liked Lily, she was his friend. He wanted to make her happy. He knocked on her door and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have broken your dollhouse and your dolls. I should have played with them. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?" + +Lily opened the door and saw Max holding the car and a doll. He smiled and said, "Here, this is for you. You can have my car and I can have your doll. We can share and play together. We can be happy." + +Lily smiled and took the car and the doll. She hugged Max and said, "Thank you, Max. I forgive you. You are a good boy. You are my friend. We can play together. We can be happy." + +They hugged and went back to the dollhouse. They fixed the broken parts and put the furniture back. They played with the car and the dolls. They had fun and laughed. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big kite in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It was soaring high and fast. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Tom said. "I want to fly it!" + +"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's go and see who has it!" + +They ran to the other side of the park. They saw a man with a sack. He was holding the string of the kite. + +"Hello, mister!" Tom said. "Can we fly your kite?" + +The man looked at them. He had a pale face and a mean smile. He said, "Sure, you can fly my kite. But you have to give me something first." + +"What do you want?" Lily asked. + +The man pointed to his sack. He said, "I want your toys. All of them. Put them in my sack and you can have the kite." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They loved their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car, and a book. They did not want to give them away. + +"But we like our toys!" Tom said. "They are ours!" + +"Too bad!" the man said. "No toys, no kite. It's a deal or no deal." + +Tom and Lily thought for a moment. They really wanted to fly the kite. It looked so fun and pretty. They decided to give the man their toys. They put them in his sack. + +"Here you go, mister!" Lily said. "Now can we fly the kite?" + +The man took the sack. He said, "Thank you, kids. You are very generous. Here, take the string." + +He gave them the string of the kite. Tom and Lily grabbed it. They felt happy. + +But then, the man did something bad. He took a knife from his pocket. He cut the string of the kite. The kite flew away with the wind. + +"Ha ha ha!" the man laughed. "Bye bye, kite! Bye bye, toys! Bye bye, kids!" + +He ran away with the sack. He left Tom and Lily alone. They watched the kite disappear in the sky. They felt sad and angry. + +They had no kite. They had no toys. They had no fun. + +They cried. +Tom is a poor boy who likes to sing. He has a microphone that he found in the trash. He sings to his toys and his dog every day. He dreams of being a star. + +One day, a man hears Tom singing in his backyard. The man works for a big show on TV. He likes Tom's voice and asks him to come with him. He says he will give Tom money and a new microphone. + +Tom is happy and scared. He wants to sing on TV, but he does not want to leave his home and his dog. He asks the man if he can bring his dog. The man says yes. + +Tom and his dog go with the man to the big show. Tom sees many people and lights and cameras. He feels nervous. The man gives him a new microphone and tells him to sing his best song. + +Tom holds the microphone and starts to sing. He sings louder and louder. He sees his dog wagging his tail. He sees the people clapping and smiling. He feels happy. His voice increases and fills the room. He is a star. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. Anna saw a big bush with red flowers. She had an idea. She ran behind the bush and waited for Ben. + +Ben was looking for Anna. He could not see her. He heard a bird singing. He followed the sound. He came near the bush with red flowers. He did not know Anna was there. + +Anna jumped out of the bush and shouted, "Surprise!" Ben was very surprised. He laughed and said, "You scared me, Anna!" Anna laughed too. They hugged and said, "We are good friends." + +They heard their mom calling them. She said, "Come inside, kids. I have a treat for you." Anna and Ben ran inside. They smelled something sweet. They saw their mom holding a big bowl. She said, "I made some cream for you. It is cold and yummy. Do you want some?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" They took some spoons and tasted the cream. It was cold and yummy. They said, "Thank you, mom. This is the best cream ever." Their mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, kids. I love you." Anna and Ben said, "We love you too, mom." They ate the cream and felt happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. It has a sign that says "Free toys". + +"Wow, free toys!" Anna says. "Let's go and see what's inside." + +They run to the box and lift the lid. Inside, they find many toys. Some are old and broken, some are new and shiny. They see dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. + +"Look, Ben, a spring!" Anna says. She picks up a metal coil that can stretch and bounce. She pulls it and lets it go. It makes a funny sound. + +"Boing, boing, boing!" Ben laughs. He finds a cheap plastic mask that looks like a monster. He puts it on his face and says "Roar!" + +Anna gets scared and drops the spring. She hides behind the box. Ben follows her and tries to scare her more. + +"Roar, roar, roar! I'm a monster and I'm going to eat you!" he says. + +Anna peeks from behind the box. She sees Ben's mask and realizes he is just playing. She smiles and says "No, you're not a monster. You're my brother and I love you!" + +She jumps out and hugs him. He hugs her back and takes off the mask. + +"I love you too, Anna. I'm sorry I scared you. Do you want to play with the spring?" he says. + +"Yes, let's play with the spring.

It was big, and very difficult to build. + +A long time ago, a wise man warned everyone that it was important to take care of the structure and to make sure that it did not break down. + +But the people ignored his warning and they were not careful with the structure. Over time, it started to look old and worn out. + +One day, a huge storm came to town and hit the structure. It shook and crumbled, until finally it could not stand anymore. + +The people around were sad. They learnt a lesson: it is important to listen when someone warns us to take care of something special. +Once there was a zoo with lots of animals. One day, the animals got together to listen to some music. They found a harmless mixer with lots of buttons.
