They saw a graceful bird with blue feathers and a long tail. It was a peacock. + +"Wow, look at that bird. It is so pretty," Lily said. + +"Can we touch it?" Tom asked. + +"No, don't touch it. It might bite you or fly away," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He reached out his hand and tried to touch the peacock. The peacock did not like that.

Help!" + +Mom heard them and ran to the oak tree. She saw them at the top, looking very scared. She called the firemen on her phone. She told them to hurry. + +"Don't worry!" Mom said.

He felt the cold water on his legs and feet. He laughed and splashed. + +"No, Tim, we can't bathe in the water. It's too cold and deep. And the miller said it's dangerous. The water can pull you to the wheel and hurt you. Come back, Tim, please!" Sue said. She stayed on the bank and watched Tim. She felt scared and worried. + +But Tim did not listen to Sue.

Tim said. + +"You're welcome, Tim, but you were very foolish. You should not bathe in the water near the mill. It's too dangerous. You could have been hurt or drowned. You should listen to your sister. She was smart and careful. She saved you too. You're lucky to have her." The miller said. + +Tim looked at Sue and felt sorry. He said sorry to Sue and thanked her.

She looked at her ear and saw a small scratch. She sighed and shook her head. + +"Fluffy, you brought this on yourself. You were rude and aggressive to Tim. He was only defending himself.

Let's try." + +Tom and Sam played and sang together. They did not sound very good. But they did not care. They had fun. They learned from each other. They made each other happy. + +People saw them. They heard them. They did not like them. They told them to stop or go away. + +But Tom and Sam did not stop. They did not go away. They said, "We don't care. We like music. We like each other. We are happy." + +People did not understand. They shook their heads. They walked away. + +But some people stayed. They listened. They saw. They understood. They smiled. They clapped. They cheered. + +They said, "You are good musicians. You make good sounds. You make us happy." + +Tom and Sam were surprised. They were happy. They thanked them. They said, "We are glad. We are happy. We are friends." + +The moral of the story is: You should not judge people by their appearance or their skills. You should care about their feelings and their dreams. You should be kind and supportive. You should find friends who share your passion and your joy. You should enjoy music and life. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big maze made of green plants. They want to go inside and find the way out. + +"Can we play in the maze, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben run into the maze. They turn left and right and see many paths. They have fun and laugh. + +"Look, a small bird!" Ben says. He points to a blue bird on a branch. + +"Let's get closer," Lily says. They follow the bird, but they lose sight of it. + +They try to go back, but they are lost. They do not see Mom or the exit. They feel scared. + +"Mom, where are you?" Lily calls. + +"Ben, Lily, where are you?" Mom calls. + +They hear Mom's voice, but they do not know where it comes from. They hold hands and walk slowly. + +"Mom, we are here!" Ben shouts. + +"Ben, Lily, I see you!" Mom shouts. She waves from a gap in the plants. + +Lily and Ben run to Mom and hug her. They are happy and relieved. + +"Sorry, Mom, we got lost," Lily says. + +"It's okay, I'm glad you are safe," Mom says. "Next time, don't go too far in the maze." + +"Okay, Mom," Lily and Ben say. + +They leave the maze and go to the swings. They still like the maze, but they like Mom more. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big ball and a furry rope. They wanted to make a game with the ball and the rope. + +"Let's tie the rope to the ball and throw it," Tom said. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Lily said. + +They tied the rope to the ball and took turns throwing it and catching it. They laughed and ran around the garden. + +But then, the ball hit a rock and made a hole. Air came out of the hole and the ball became smaller and smaller. + +"Oh no, the ball has a leak!" Lily said. + +"That's not good, the ball is broken," Tom said. + +They were sad and did not know what to do. They looked at the ball and the rope. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Lily said. + +"How?" Tom asked. + +Lily had an idea. She took the furry rope and wrapped it around the hole. She tied it very tight and hoped it would stop the air from coming out. + +"Look, I fixed it!" Lily said. + +She threw the ball to Tom and he caught it. The ball was still smaller than before, but it did not leak anymore. + +"Wow, you are very smart, Lily," Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They continued to play with the ball and the rope. They were happy again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big teddy bear, a small doll, a red car and a yellow ball. She liked to make them talk and have fun together. She also liked to pretend that the curtain in her room was a magic door to another world. + +One day, she decided to play a game with her toys. She wanted to see which one was the heaviest. She found a scale in the bathroom and brought it to her room. She put the teddy bear on the scale and saw the number. Then she put the doll on the scale and saw the number. Then she put the car on the scale and saw the number. Then she put the ball on the scale and saw the number. + +She was happy to learn that the teddy bear was the heaviest, the doll was the second heaviest, the car was the third heaviest and the ball was the lightest. She said to her toys, "You are all different, but I love you all the same. You are my friends." + +She wanted to play more with the scale. She wondered how much she weighed. She climbed on the scale and saw the number. She was surprised to see that she was heavier than all her toys. She said to herself, "I am big and strong. I can do anything." + +She had an idea. She wanted to see how much the curtain weighed. She thought it would be fun to pull the curtain and make it fall on the scale. She did not know that this was dangerous. She did not know that the curtain was attached to a rod that could hurt her if it fell. + +She grabbed the curtain and pulled it hard. The curtain came off the rod and fell on the scale. The rod also came off the wall and fell on Lily. It hit her head and made her cry. She was hurt and scared. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her room. She saw what happened and was worried. She hugged Lily and said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? What did you do?" She checked her head and saw a bump. She said, "You have a boo-boo. We need to put some ice on it. Come with me." + +She took Lily to the kitchen and put some ice on her head. She said, "Lily, you should not play with the curtain. It is dangerous. It can fall on you and hurt you. You should only play with your toys. They are safe and fun. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to see how much the curtain weighed. I did not know it was dangerous. I will not do it again. I love you, mom." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you are okay. You are a smart and brave girl. But you also need to be careful and listen to me. I only want you to be happy and safe. Do you promise?" + +Lily promised and hugged her mom. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some things are not for playing. She learned that she should respect her mom's rules. She learned that she should be grateful for her toys and her mom. She learned that curiosity is good, but safety is better. +Tim and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, draw pictures and share snacks. One day, they found a big ball of yarn in Mia's room. It was soft and colorful and had many knots. + +"Let's make something with this," Mia said. "We can make a scarf, or a hat, or a blanket." + +"Or a snake!" Tim said. He liked snakes. He took the yarn and started to wrap it around his arm. He made a long, wiggly snake. + +Mia did not like snakes. She was afraid of them. She wanted to make something else. She tried to take the yarn from Tim, but he held it tight. + +"No, it's my snake!" Tim said. "Go away!" + +Mia frowned. She did not like Tim's snake. She did not like Tim being mean. She pulled the yarn harder, but Tim pulled back. They started to fight over the yarn. They yelled and tugged and twisted. + +Suddenly, the yarn snapped. It broke into two pieces. Tim and Mia fell to the floor. They looked at the yarn. It was not soft and colorful and knotty anymore. It was short and frayed and ugly. + +They looked at each other. They did not see their best friend anymore. They saw someone who made them angry and sad. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They got up and walked away. + +They left the yarn on the floor. It was not a snake, or a scarf, or a hat, or a blanket. It was nothing. It was a waste. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the iron best. The iron is big and shiny and has a long cord. They pretend it is a car or a plane or a boat. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the iron go fast!" Ben says. He pulls the cord and runs with the iron. The iron makes a loud noise and smoke comes out. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily says. "That is not good. The iron is hot and can hurt you. You have to sit and be quiet." + +But Ben does not listen. He thinks it is fun to make the iron go fast. He runs and runs until he trips on the cord. The iron falls on his head and burns him. He screams and cries. + +Lily runs to him and tries to help him. She is scared and sad. She calls for Mom and Dad. They come and see what happened. They are angry and worried. They take Ben to the doctor. The doctor says Ben has a big wound and needs a bandage. + +Lily feels sorry for Ben. She wishes he had listened to her. She wishes they had played with something else. She knows the iron is not a toy. She knows it is not good to run with it. She hopes Ben will be okay. She hopes he will learn his lesson. She hopes they can still be friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom sees a big book with many pictures on Mia's shelf. He wants to look at the book. + +"Can I see your book, please?" Tom asks Mia. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite book. It is a story about a lion and a mouse," Mia says. + +Tom takes the book and opens it. He likes the pictures of the lion and the mouse. He wants to keep the book. + +"I like this book. Can I have it, please?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, you can't. It is my book. You can borrow it, but you have to give it back," Mia says. + +"But I want it. It is a nice book. You have other books," Tom says. + +He tries to take the book away from Mia. Mia holds the book tight. They pull and tug. The book rips. Mia and Tom are sad. They both cry. + +Mia's mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the ripped book and the tears. + +"What happened here?" Mia's mom asks. + +Tom is scared. He does not want to tell the truth. He thinks of a lie. + +"Mia ripped the book. She did not want to share it with me," Tom says. + +Mia is shocked. She knows Tom is lying. She wants to tell the truth. + +"No, mom. That is not honest. Tom wanted to keep the book. He ripped it when we fought," Mia says. + +Mia's mom looks at Tom and Mia. She knows who is telling the truth. She is proud of Mia for being honest. She is angry with Tom for lying. + +"Tom, you should not lie. Lying is bad. It hurts your friends and yourself. You should say sorry to Mia and help her fix the book," Mia's mom says. + +Tom feels ashamed. He knows he did wrong. He says sorry to Mia and helps her fix the book. Mia forgives him. They hug and make up. + +Mia's mom smiles. She is happy they are friends again. She tells them a story about a lion and a mouse. The story teaches them that being kind and honest is better than being greedy and dishonest. Tom and Mia listen and learn. They promise to be kind and honest to each other. They enjoy the story. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. But they want more toys. They ask their mom to buy them more toys. + +Mom says, "You have enough toys, Tom and Lily. You do not need more toys. You need to share and be happy with what you have." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to share. They want more toys. They have an idea. They take their piggy bank and go to the toy store. They see many toys in the toy store. They see cars, dolls, balls, puzzles, and books. They see a big chest. The chest is full of toys. The chest is adorable. It has a picture of a rainbow and a unicorn on it. + +Tom and Lily want the chest. They think the chest has many toys inside. They take their piggy bank and go to the cashier. They say, "We want to buy this chest, please." + +The cashier looks at their piggy bank. He says, "This chest is very expensive. You do not have enough money to buy it. You need to save more money or ask your mom to help you." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They do not have enough money to buy the chest. They do not want to ask their mom. They think their mom will be angry. They leave the toy store. They go back to their room. They look at their toys. They think their toys are not so bad. They decide to share and play with their toys. They are happy. +It was Tom's birthday. He was very happy. He had a big cake with candles and many gifts. His friends came to his house to play and sing. + +But Tom had a problem. His favorite toy was broken. It was a red car that could make noises and move. He loved his car very much. He wanted to fix it, but he did not know how. + +He asked his mom for help. "Mom, can you fix my car? It is broken and I am sad." + +Mom looked at the car. She saw that one of the wheels was missing. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I have a funny idea. Let's go to the kitchen and find something to fix your car." + +They went to the kitchen and mom opened a drawer. She took out a cookie and gave it to Tom. "Here, this is your new wheel. It is round and sweet and fits your car. Try it." + +Tom put the cookie on his car and pushed it. The car made noises and moved. Tom was amazed and happy. He laughed and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. This is a funny wheel. I love it." + +Mom hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Tom. Happy birthday. I love you too." + +They went back to the living room and joined the party. Tom showed his friends his funny car. They all liked it and wanted to try it. They had a lot of fun playing with the car and the cookie. Tom had a wonderful birthday. He was very happy. +Tom and Lily are playing outside with chalk. They like to draw on the sidewalk and make different shapes and colors. Tom draws a big circle and fills it with blue. Lily draws a small triangle and fills it with yellow. + +"Look, Tom, I made a triangle!" Lily says, showing her drawing to Tom. + +"That's nice, Lily, but I made a circle!" Tom says, pointing to his drawing. "A circle is better than a triangle!" + +"Why?" Lily asks, curious. + +"Because a circle is round and smooth and has no corners!" Tom explains, proud of his drawing. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She wants to make a better drawing than Tom. She looks around and sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up and examines it. It is long and thin and brown. She has an idea. + +She goes to Tom's circle and uses the stick to make a line across it. Then she makes another line across the first line. She makes four lines in total, dividing the circle into eight pieces. + +"Look, Tom, I made a pizza!" Lily says, smiling. + +Tom looks at his circle and sees the lines. He is not happy. He thinks Lily ruined his drawing. + +"Hey, that's not fair, Lily, you messed up my circle!" Tom says, angry. + +"No, I didn't, I made it better!" Lily says, happy. "A pizza is better than a circle!" + +"Why?" Tom asks, annoyed. + +"Because a pizza is yummy and cheesy and has toppings!" Lily explains, licking her lips. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He is hungry and he likes pizza. He looks at Lily's triangle and has an idea. + +He goes to Lily's triangle and uses his chalk to make dots on it. He makes red dots and green dots and white dots. He makes many dots in different colors. + +"Look, Lily, I made a cake!" Tom says, grinning. + +Lily looks at her triangle and sees the dots. She is surprised. She thinks Tom made her drawing prettier. + +"Wow, that's cool, Tom, you decorated my triangle!" Lily says, amazed. + +"Yes, I did, I made it better!" Tom says, pleased. "A cake is better than a triangle!" + +"Why?" Lily asks, interested. + +"Because a cake is sweet and soft and has frosting!" Tom explains, drooling. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She is hungry and she likes cake. She looks at Tom and smiles. + +"Tom, you are very smart and creative!" Lily says, complimenting Tom. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are very smart and creative too!" Tom says, complimenting Lily. + +They hug and laugh. They are happy and proud of their drawings. They are successful. They decide to share their pizza and cake and eat them with their chalk. They have fun and enjoy their snack. They are good friends. The end. +Lily and Tom 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 toy horse. The horse is tall and brown. It has a mane and a tail. + +"Wow, look at the horse!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Yes, let's play!" Tom says. "I want to drive the horse." + +Tom climbs on the horse and holds the reins. He pretends to be a cowboy. He makes the horse go fast and slow. He says, "Yee-haw!" + +Lily watches Tom and claps her hands. She wants to drive the horse too. She says, "Tom, can I have a turn?" + +"OK, Lily, you can have a turn," Tom says. He stops the horse and gets off. He helps Lily get on the horse. He gives her the reins. + +Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." She drives the horse around the garage. She pretends to be a princess. She says, "This is fun!" + +Tom and Lily play with the horse for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with keys. They have many keys of different shapes and colors. Some keys are real and some keys are fake. They can tell the fake keys because they are plastic and light. + +One day, they find a big box in the basement. The box has a lock on it. They wonder what is inside the box. They try to unlock the box with their keys, but none of them work. They are sad and frustrated. + +Then, Sue has an idea. She remembers that her dad has a big key ring with many keys. She runs upstairs and gets the key ring. She brings it back to Tom and they try the keys one by one. Finally, they find a key that fits the lock. They unlock the box and open it. + +Inside the box, they see many toys and books and clothes. They are very happy and excited. They start to take out the things and play with them. They think they have found a treasure. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is their dad. He comes down the basement and sees them with the box. He is angry and surprised. He says, "What are you doing with my box? That is not for you. That is for the charity. I was going to give it away to the poor children. You have to put everything back and lock the box again." + +Tom and Sue feel ashamed and sorry. They did not know that the box was for the charity. They thought it was a fun game. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to see what was inside the box. We will put everything back and lock the box again." + +They do as their dad says. They put everything back and lock the box again. They give the key ring back to their dad. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We will not play with keys again. We will not unlock things that are not ours." + +Their dad hugs them and says, "It's okay, kids. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and respectful. Some things are not for you to unlock. Some things are for other people who need them more. You have enough toys and books and clothes of your own. You should be grateful and generous. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "We understand, dad. We are grateful and generous. We love you, dad." + +Their dad smiles and says, "I love you too, kids. Now, let's go upstairs and have some cookies." +Tom and Lily were two cats who lived in a shelter. A shelter was a big house with many rooms and cages, where people took care of animals who had no home. Tom and Lily liked the shelter, but they wanted to find a family who would love them and play with them. + +One day, a nice lady came to the shelter. She looked at all the animals and smiled. She saw Tom and Lily in their cage and said, "Hello, you two. You are very cute and fluffy. Do you want to come with me?" Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the lady or where she would take them. They hid behind their toys and did not make a sound. + +The lady opened the cage and reached out her hand. She said, "Don't be afraid. I will be good to you. I have a huge house with a big yard and a cozy bed. You can run and play and nap as much as you want. I will give you food and water and toys and hugs. I will be your friend. You can trust me." Tom and Lily looked at her hand and then at each other. They felt something warm and soft in their hearts. They decided to trust the lady and give her a chance. They walked out of the cage and rubbed their heads against her hand. The lady smiled and picked them up. She said, "You are very brave and sweet. I will call you Tom and Lily. You are my new cats and I am your new mom. Come on, let's go home." Tom and Lily purred and snuggled in her arms. They were happy. They had found a family. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like Tom. Tom was a big boy who liked to tease them. He would pull their hair, take their toys and call them names. + +One day, Tom saw Sam and Lily on the seesaw. He ran over and pushed them hard. Sam and Lily fell off and hit the ground. They cried and rubbed their knees. Tom laughed and said, "You are silly babies. You can't play on the seesaw. It's for big kids like me." + +Sam and Lily were very sad and angry. They wanted to make Tom stop. They had an idea. They pretended to be friends with Tom. They said, "Tom, you are so strong and smart. Can you show us how to play on the seesaw?" + +Tom was surprised and happy. He thought Sam and Lily liked him now. He said, "Sure, I can show you. Watch me. I can go up and down very fast." He climbed on the seesaw and started to bounce. + +Sam and Lily waited for the right moment. When Tom was up in the air, they ran away and let go of the seesaw. Tom came down with a loud thud. He hit the ground hard and hurt his bottom. He cried and screamed. Sam and Lily laughed and said, "Now you know how it feels to be teased. You are a mean bully. Go away and leave us alone." + +Tom was very grumpy and ashamed. He ran away and never teased Sam and Lily again. Sam and Lily hugged and went back to play. They were happy and proud. They had taught Tom a lesson. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, they found a big board in the garage. It was brown and flat and hard. They thought it would be fun to use it as a slide. + +They put the board on their bed and leaned it on the wall. Then they took turns to slide down the board. They laughed and shouted and had a good time. But they did not know that the board was fragile. It had a crack in the middle. + +"Let me go again!" Sam said. He was the younger brother and he wanted to slide more. + +"No, it's my turn!" Tim said. He was the older brother and he wanted to slide faster. + +They pushed and pulled and fought over the board. They did not see the crack getting bigger. They did not hear the board creaking. They did not forget to have fun. + +Then, the board broke. It snapped in two and fell off the bed. Tim and Sam fell with it. They hit the floor and the board pieces. They cried and screamed and hurt themselves. They had cuts and bruises and bumps. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and ran to their room. They saw the mess and the blood and the tears. They were angry and scared and sad. They scolded Tim and Sam and took them to the doctor. They did not forget to punish them. They did not have fun. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch videos. But sometimes they disagree about what to watch. Tom likes cars and trucks. Anna likes dolls and animals. + +One day, they have a big fight. Tom wants to watch a video about fire trucks. Anna wants to watch a video about ponies. They both grab the remote and pull. They yell and cry. Mom hears them and comes to the living room. + +Mom is not happy. She says, "You are being naughty. You need to share and take turns. If you can't agree, you can't watch any video. You have to go to your room and calm down." + +Tom and Anna feel sad and sorry. They don't want to go to their room. They want to watch videos. They look at each other and say, "Sorry." They hug and make up. They decide to watch a video about trains. They both like trains. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's better. You are being nice. You can watch the video about trains. But only for a little while. Then you have to play with your toys or read a book." + +Tom and Anna nod and say, "Okay." They sit on the couch and watch the video. They are happy and quiet. Mom is proud of them. She gives them a kiss and a cookie. +Anna liked to wander in the garden. She saw many flowers and bugs and birds. She liked to touch the soft petals and smell the sweet scents. She liked to watch the bees and butterflies and hummingbirds. She liked to listen to the songs and chirps and buzzes. + +One day, she found a big sunflower. It was taller than her. She wanted to measure it. She ran to the shed and got a stick. She put the stick next to the sunflower and saw that it was much longer. She was amazed. She wanted to show her mom. + +She ran to the house and called, "Mom, mom, come see what I found!" + +Mom came out and followed Anna to the garden. She saw the sunflower and smiled. She said, "Wow, that's a beautiful sunflower, Anna. How did you find it?" + +Anna said, "I was wandering in the garden and I saw it. It's so big and yellow and pretty. I measured it with a stick and it's taller than me!" + +Mom said, "That's amazing, Anna. You're a great explorer. Do you know who planted the sunflower?" + +Anna shook her head. She didn't know. + +Mom said, "It was me. I planted it last spring when you were napping. I wanted to surprise you. I'm glad you like it." + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love it. And I love you." + +Mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love your wandering spirit. You always find something wonderful." +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their toy guns. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and cowgirls, and they ran around the trees and swings. Sometimes they shouted "bang, bang" and fell down. + +One day, they saw a big animal with long legs and a pouch. It was a kangaroo, and it had come from the zoo. The kangaroo was scared of the noise and the people, and it wanted to go back home. But it did not know how. + +Tom and Mia saw the kangaroo and thought it was a bad guy. They pointed their toy guns at it and said "bang, bang". The kangaroo was very worried and jumped away. It tried to find a way out of the park, but it was lost. + +"Stop, stop!" a man shouted. He was a zookeeper, and he had been looking for the kangaroo. He ran after it and tried to catch it. He was wearing a hat and a uniform, and he had a net. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. He and Mia stopped shooting and watched the man. + +"I'm a zookeeper, and I need your help. That kangaroo is not a bad guy, he's a good guy. He escaped from the zoo, and he's very scared. Can you help me find him and bring him back?" the man said. + +Tom and Mia felt sorry for the kangaroo. They nodded and said "yes". They put down their toy guns and followed the man. They looked around the park and saw the kangaroo hiding behind a bench. They called the man and pointed at the kangaroo. + +The man thanked them and threw the net over the kangaroo. He lifted him up and put him in a big truck. He said "don't worry, buddy, I'll take you back to the zoo. You'll be safe and happy there." + +Tom and Mia waved goodbye to the kangaroo and the man. They felt proud and happy. They had helped a good guy, and they had learned something new. They picked up their toy guns and went back to playing. They decided to be friends with the kangaroo, and not shoot him anymore. +Sara and Ben like to play near the river. They see fish and ducks and stones. Sometimes they throw stones in the water and make a splash. They have fun together. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a big boat on the river. It is white and red and has a loud horn. They have never seen a boat like that before. They are curious and excited. + +"Look, Ben, a boat!" Sara says. + +"Wow, Sara, a big boat!" Ben says. + +They run to the edge of the river and wave at the boat. The boat waves back and honks its horn. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Who is on the boat, Sara?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are going somewhere far away," Sara says. + +"Maybe they are going to the sea, or to another river, or to a new place," Ben says. + +They imagine all the places the boat could go and all the things the boat could see. They wish they could go on the boat too. + +They watch the boat until it is out of sight. Then they go back to their normal game of throwing stones and making splashes. They are happy near the river. + +They don't mention the boat again, but they always remember it. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and planes that he zoomed around the floor. He also liked to eat snacks, but he did not like to eat fruits or vegetables. He only wanted cookies, candy, and chips. + +One day, his mom told him to relax and have a prune. She said it was good for him and it would make him strong and healthy. Tommy did not want to eat the prune. He said it was smelly and wrinkly and yucky. He threw the prune on the floor and ran to his room. + +His mom was sad and angry. She picked up the prune and followed him to his room. She knocked on the door and said, "Tommy, you need to apologize. You wasted a good prune and you made a mess. You also hurt my feelings. Prunes are not smelly, they are sweet and juicy. They help you poop and keep your tummy happy. You should try new things and be grateful for what you have." + +Tommy felt sorry for his mom and for the prune. He opened the door and hugged his mom. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was rude and silly. I will try the prune and see if I like it. Maybe it is not so bad after all." He took the prune from his mom and bit into it. He was surprised by the taste. It was not smelly, it was sweet and juicy. He liked it and asked for more. + +His mom smiled and gave him another prune. She said, "I'm proud of you, Tommy. You learned a good lesson today. You should always be open-minded and respectful. You never know what you might like until you try it. And you should always say thank you when someone gives you something." Tommy nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love prunes." They hugged and ate the prunes together. They were happy and relaxed. +Anna liked to number her toys. She had one doll, two cars, three balls, and four books. She put them in a line and counted them every day. She was proud of her numbers. + +One day, a new boy came to her playgroup. His name was Ben. He brought a big box with him. Anna was curious. She asked him, "What is in your box?" + +Ben opened his box and showed her. He had a lot of instruments. He had a drum, a guitar, a flute, and a violin. He said, "I am a musician. I like to make music with these." + +Anna was amazed. She had never seen such things before. She wanted to try them. She asked him, "Can I play with your instruments?" + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, these are mine. You can't touch them. You might break them. They are very special." + +Anna was sad. She thought Ben was not kind. She said, "But I want to play with you. I can share my toys with you. You can number them with me." + +Ben said, "No, thank you. I don't like numbers. I only like music. Go away and leave me alone." + +Anna felt angry. She said, "You are mean. You are not a good musician. You are a bad friend." + +She turned away and went to play with her toys. She counted them again. She said, "One, two, three, four. I have four toys. And I have four friends. But Ben is not one of them." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was to look out of the window. They could see the birds, the cars, the trees, and the people. + +One day, they saw a big red bus stop near their house. It had many windows and many people inside. They heard a loud voice say, "Come and join us for a jolly ride around the town!" + +Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see more of the town and have fun. They ran to their mom and asked, "Mom, can we go on the bus? Please, please, please!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, why not? It looks like a nice bus. Let me get my purse and we can go." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They put on their coats and shoes and followed Mom to the bus. They climbed the stairs and found two seats near the front. They looked out of the window and waved to their dad, who was working in the garden. + +The bus started to move. It went past the shops, the park, the school, and the library. Ben and Lily saw many new things and learned many new words. They also made some new friends on the bus. They sang songs, told jokes, and shared snacks. + +They had a jolly time on the bus. They thanked the driver and said goodbye to the people. They walked back to their house, holding Mom's hand. They told Dad all about their adventure. They were tired, but happy. They hugged Mom and Dad and went to bed. They dreamed of the bus and the window and the jolly ride. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big building with many rooms and windows. They work hard and have fun. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is older and mean. He does not like to share or play nice. He sees Lily and Tom's building and laughs. + +"What a stupid building!" he says. "It looks like a baby made it. Let me show you how to make a real building." + +He grabs some blocks and starts to break Lily and Tom's building. He throws the blocks everywhere and makes a mess. + +Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They ask Ben to stop. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" they say. "This is our building. You are ruining it. Go away!" + +But Ben does not listen. He keeps breaking their building and laughing. + +Lily and Tom do not know what to do. They look around and see their teacher, Miss Lee. She is watching them and sees what Ben is doing. + +She walks over and says in a loud voice, "Ben, what are you doing? Why are you being so mean to Lily and Tom? You need to say sorry and help them fix their building. Or you will have a time out." + +Ben stops and looks scared. He knows Miss Lee is serious. He does not want a time out. He says sorry to Lily and Tom and helps them pick up the blocks. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They thank Miss Lee and hug her. They finish their building and show it to Ben. Ben says it is nice and asks if he can play with them. They say yes and share their blocks. They all play together and have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big pot on the stove. It had milk inside. They wanted to drink some milk. + +"Let's get some milk," Tom said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. + +"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "The pot is hot. It can burn you." + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the pot and pulled it down. The milk spilled all over him and the floor. It was very hot. Tom screamed. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It burns, it burns!" Tom cried. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was scared. She saw his skin was red and sore. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Lily shouted. + +Mom heard them and came running. She saw the mess and Tom's hurt. She was angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you touch the pot? You know you are not allowed to play with the stove." + +"We wanted some milk," Tom said. He was sobbing. + +"Milk is not for playing. Milk is for drinking. And only when it is cold or warm. Not when it is hot and gray. Hot and gray milk is bad. It can make you sick and burn you," Mom said. + +She took Tom to the sink and ran cold water over his skin. She wrapped him in a towel and gave him a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Tom. I love you. But you have to be more careful. And listen to Lily. She is a good sister. She tried to stop you," Mom said. + +She cleaned the floor and the pot. She threw away the gray milk. She made some fresh milk for Lily and Tom. She added some honey and cinnamon. She gave them each a cup and a cookie. + +"Here, drink this. It will make you feel better," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom drank the milk and ate the cookie. They felt better. They thanked Mom and said sorry again. + +"It's okay. I forgive you. But don't do it again. And don't play in the kitchen without me. It can be dangerous," Mom said. + +She hugged them and smiled. She was glad they were okay. She loved them very much. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. Lily had a lot of blue blocks and Max had a lot of red blocks. They took turns to add blocks to the tower. + +"Look, our tower is so tall!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Max said. "But we need more blocks to make it taller." + +Lily saw a box of yellow blocks on the shelf. She ran to get it. "I have more blocks!" she said. "Let's add them to the tower!" + +But Max did not like yellow blocks. He liked red blocks. He did not want to add yellow blocks to the tower. He wanted to add more red blocks. + +"No, I don't want yellow blocks!" he said. "They are ugly! I want red blocks!" + +He grabbed the box of yellow blocks from Lily and threw it on the floor. The yellow blocks scattered everywhere. Lily was very sad. She liked yellow blocks. She thought they were pretty. She did not like Max throwing her blocks. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" she said. "You made a mess! You hurt my blocks!" + +She started to cry. Max felt bad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He did not mean to hurt her blocks. He just did not like yellow blocks. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was mean. I should not have thrown your blocks. Can we share the blocks?" + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Max. She saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She liked playing with Max. She wanted to be his friend. + +"Okay, Max," she said. "We can share the blocks. But you have to be careful. The yellow blocks are delicate. They can break easily." + +Max nodded. He picked up the yellow blocks from the floor. He was careful not to break them. He gave some to Lily and kept some for himself. They added the yellow blocks to the tower. The tower became taller and more colorful. + +"Wow, our tower is amazing!" Max said. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "We did a good job!" + +They smiled at each other. They were happy. They had a reward for their hard work. They had a beautiful tower and a good friend. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks.

They are happy and proud of their structure. + +"Look at our structure!" Anna says. "It is so big and strong and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "What should we name it?" + +They think for a moment. They want to give their structure a good name. A name that is honest and true. + +"I know!" Anna says. "Let's name it Friendship!" + +"Friendship?" Ben repeats. "Why Friendship?" + +"Because we are friends, and we made it together, and we share it, and we care for it," Anna explains. "And because friendship is honest and true, like our structure." + +Ben smiles and nods. He likes the name. He thinks it is a good name. A name that is honest and true. + +"OK, let's name it Friendship!" he says. "Friendship is a good name!" + +They hug each other and look at their structure. They are happy and proud of their structure. They are happy and proud of their friendship. +Ben and Mia were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to make big stacks of blocks and pretend they were towers or castles. Mia was very careful with her blocks. She put them one on top of another, making sure they were balanced and straight. Ben was not so careful. He liked to throw his blocks and knock down Mia's stacks. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Mia said. "You spoil my stacks! They are my castles and you make them fall!" + +"I don't care!" Ben said. "It's fun to make them fall! Look, I can make a bigger stack than you!" + +Ben grabbed more blocks and piled them up as high as he could. He did not care if they were balanced or straight. He just wanted to make the tallest stack ever. He did not see that his stack was leaning and wobbling. It was very dangerous. + +"Ben, be careful!" Mia said. "Your stack is going to fall! It can hurt you or me or the toys!" + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to put one more block on top of his stack. He reached up and pushed the block on the stack. But the stack was too high and too shaky. It could not hold the block. The stack toppled over and crashed to the floor. Blocks flew everywhere. Some hit Ben and Mia. Some hit the toys. Some hit the wall and the door. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "That hurt!" + +"See?" Mia said. "I told you it was dangerous! You should not spoil my stacks and make your own so high! Now look what you did! You made a big mess and you hurt us and the toys!" + +Ben felt sorry. He saw that Mia was right. He had been mean and silly. He had spoiled their game and made trouble. He wanted to say sorry to Mia and to the toys. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," he said. "I'm sorry, toys. I was wrong. I should not spoil your stacks and make my own so dangerous. Can we play together and make nice stacks?" + +Mia smiled. She was not angry anymore. She saw that Ben was sorry and wanted to be nice. She liked to play with Ben when he was nice. + +"OK, Ben," she said. "We can play together and make nice stacks. But you have to be careful and gentle with the blocks. And you have to help me clean up the mess." + +Ben nodded. He agreed to be careful and gentle with the blocks. And he agreed to help Mia clean up the mess. They picked up the blocks and put them back in the box. Then they hugged each other and the toys. They were happy again. They played together and made nice stacks. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys, clothes, and books, but they were not happy. They always wanted more and more, and they never shared with each other or their friends. They also did not listen to their parents or their teachers, and they were rude and selfish. + +One day, their parents decided to take them to a farm for a vacation. They hoped that Tom and Lily would learn to appreciate nature and simple things, and to be kind and grateful. But Tom and Lily did not like the farm at all. They complained about the dirt, the animals, the food, and the work. They did not want to help with the chores, or play with the other children, or relax in the sun. They only wanted to go back to their big house and their toys. + +On the last day of their vacation, their parents took them to a picnic by a lake. They had some bread, cheese, fruit, and water, and they spread a napkin on the grass. They invited Tom and Lily to join them, but Tom and Lily refused. They said they were not hungry, and they wanted to go home. They ran away from the picnic, and looked for a place to hide. + +They found a big tree with a hole in it, and they crawled inside. They thought they would be safe and comfortable there, but they were wrong. The hole was dark and damp, and it was full of bugs and spiders. Tom and Lily screamed and cried, and they wished they had stayed with their parents. They realized that they had been foolish and ungrateful, and that they had missed a chance to have fun and learn new things. + +They crawled out of the hole, and ran back to the picnic. They saw their parents smiling and relaxing by the lake, and they felt sorry for what they had done. They hugged their parents, and said they were sorry.

They gave them some food, and introduced them to the other children. Tom and Lily ate and played, and they felt happy and relaxed. They learned that being wealthy is not the same as being happy, and that being happy is not the same as having everything. They learned to be thankful and generous, and to enjoy the simple things in life. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Anna asked her mom. + +"OK, but be careful.

They felt happy and brave. + +"Look, I found a pocket in the tree!" Ben said. He reached into a hole in the trunk and pulled out something. + +"What is it?" Anna asked. + +"It's a terrible thing. It's a spider!" Ben said. He screamed and dropped the spider. The spider landed on Anna's head. + +"Help! Help! Get it off me!" Anna said. She screamed and shook her head. The spider fell to the ground and ran away. + +Anna and Ben climbed down the tree as fast as they could. They ran to their mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, mom, there was a terrible spider in the tree. It was in a pocket and it came on my head. It was scary!" Anna said. + +"Oh, you poor thing. I'm sorry. Are you OK?" her mom said. She kissed Anna's head and checked for bites. + +"I'm OK, mom. But I don't want to climb that tree again. Ever!" Anna said. + +"Me neither. Let's play somewhere else. Somewhere without spiders," Ben said. + +"OK, let's go. How about the swings?" her mom said. + +"OK, let's go. We like the swings. They are fun and safe," Anna and Ben said. + +They left the tree and went to the swings. They forgot about the terrible spider and had a good time. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide and swing on the swings. They saw a new thing in the park. It was a big box with a hole in it. It looked mysterious. + +"Let's go see what's in the box," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. + +They ran to the box and peeked inside. It was dark and they could not see much. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"What's that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a monster," Lily said. + +They were scared, but they wanted to find out. They crawled into the box. The noise got louder. They saw something move. It had fur and teeth and claws. It was a big dog. + +"Run!" Lily shouted. + +They tried to run, but the box was too small. They slipped and fell. The dog jumped on them. It licked their faces and wagged its tail. It was not a monster. It was a friendly dog. + +"Hi, doggy," Lily said. + +"Hello, kids," a voice said. + +They looked up and saw a man. He was the owner of the dog. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. This is Rex. He likes to play in the box. He's very gentle." + +Lily and Ben smiled too. They petted Rex and played with him.

They cried out loud. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the nails and the blocks and the blood. She was very angry and scared. She took the nails away and said, "No, no, no!

She put some cream and a band-aid on them. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to be careful. You have to listen to me.

How could you do that?" + +Tommy felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I wanted your bike. It looked so nice. I did not think about you or your bike. I was selfish and greedy. Please forgive me." + +His neighbor was still mad, but he saw that Tommy was sincere. He said, "I forgive you, but you have to pay for the damage. You have to work hard and save your money. You have to learn to respect other people's things. And you have to be happy with what you have." + +Tommy agreed. He gave back the bike and apologized again. He went home and hugged his bike. He realized that his bike was good enough for him. He learned his lesson. He never stole again. He was more careful and grateful. He was a better rider and a better friend. +Anna and Ben are twins.

I am here to visit the park. I like the park. It has a nice landscape." + +Sam and Lily were surprised. The elephant could talk. They felt less scared and more curious. + +"You can talk?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I can talk. I learned from the zookeeper. He is very nice. He lets me go out sometimes and see new places. He is waiting for me over there," the elephant said and pointed with his nose. + +Sam and Lily looked and saw a man with a hat and a uniform. He waved at them and smiled. + +"Can we play with you?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, you can play with me. I like to play. Do you have a ball?" the elephant asked. + +"Yes, we have a ball. Here it is," Lily said and threw the ball to the elephant. + +The elephant caught the ball with his nose and threw it back to Lily. Sam and Lily laughed and clapped. They played with the elephant for a while, until the zookeeper came and said it was time to go. + +"Bye, elephant. Thank you for playing with us. You are very nice," Sam and Lily said. + +"Bye, children. Thank you for being my friends. You are very nice, too. Maybe I will see you again someday," the elephant said. + +Sam and Lily waved goodbye to the elephant and watched him leave with the zookeeper. They felt happy and sad at the same time.

She gazed at the robot in the sky. She wanted to fly with it too. + +But the robot was naughty. It did not listen to Ben when he tried to make it come back. It flew higher and higher, until it was very far away. It went near the birds, the trees and the clouds. It even went near a big plane. + +"Robot, come back!" Ben shouted. He was scared and sad. He did not want to lose his toy. He pressed all the buttons on the remote, but nothing worked. + +Lily saw Ben crying. She felt sorry for him. She had an idea.

Sara thought they looked yummy, so she climbed on a stool and picked some. She put them in a basket and took them to her dollhouse. + +She gave one fruit to each doll and said, "Here, have some grapes. They are sweet and juicy."

Do you know why?" + +Sara shook her head. She did not know why. Her mom said, "That button was my grandma's button. She gave it to me when I was a little girl, like you. She told me it was a lucky button, and it would make me happy. And it did. And now I gave it to you, because you are my lucky girl, and you make me happy." + +Sara's eyes widened.

She said, "Of course you can keep it, Sara. It is yours now. And you can share it with Lily, too. She is your friend, and she deserves a lucky button." + +Sara hugged her mom back. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever. And Lily is the best doll ever. And this is the best day ever." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are the best daughter ever. And this is a normal day for us. Because we are a happy family." +Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they ran into the water and jumped over the waves. The waves were big and wild today. They made a lot of noise and splashed on the shore. + +"Look, Tom, a big wave is coming!" Lily said. She pointed to the water. + +"Let's jump over it!" Tom said. He held Lily's hand and ran to the wave. + +But the wave was too big and too fast. It caught Tom and Lily and pushed them back to the shore. They fell down and got wet and sandy. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. She coughed and spit out some water. + +"I'm okay, Lily. Are you okay?" Tom asked. He rubbed his eyes and nose. + +"I'm okay, Tom. But that was a scary wave!" Lily said. She hugged Tom. + +Mom and Dad came to help them.

Let's go and build a sandcastle," Tom and Lily said. + +They went to the sand and started to build a sandcastle. They forgot about the wild wave and had fun with Mom and Dad. The end. +Lily and Max liked to race their toy cars on the floor. They had many cars of different colors and shapes, but their favorite ones were gray. They said gray cars were the fastest and coolest. + +One day, they decided to have a big race with all their gray cars. They lined them up on one side of the room and got ready to push them. "Are you ready, Max?" Lily asked. "Yes, I am, Lily," Max said. "But I will win, because my cars are better than yours." + +They counted to three and pushed their cars as hard as they could. The cars zoomed across the floor, making a lot of noise. They bumped into each other and into the furniture. Lily and Max cheered and shouted for their cars. + +But then, something happened. One of Lily's cars hit a book that was on the floor and flew into the air. It landed on the table, where Mom had put a big cake for dessert. The car smashed into the cake and made a huge mess.

We want a balloon." Anna picks a pink balloon. Ben picks a blue balloon. The balloon man ties the balloons to their wrists. He says, "Be careful. Don't let go of your balloons. They will fly away." + +Anna and Ben thank the balloon man. They run and jump with their balloons. They feel the balloons bounce and tug on their wrists. They laugh and giggle. They enjoy their balloons very much. + +But then, a strong wind comes. It blows hard and fast. It makes the balloons shake and sway. Anna and Ben try to hold on to their balloons. But the wind is too strong. The balloons slip out of their wrists. They fly away into the sky. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They cry and scream. They want their balloons back. They say, "Mom, Dad, help us. Our balloons are gone. We love our balloons." + +Mom and Dad hug Anna and Ben. They say, "Don't worry, kids. We are sorry you lost your balloons. But we have something else for you. Something that is also soft and fun. Something that will not fly away. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They wipe their tears. They say, "Yes, please. What is it?" + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "It is a surprise. Come with us. We will show you." + +They take Anna and Ben to the car. They drive to a place they have never been before. It is a pet shop. They see many animals. They see dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and more. They are all very cute and fluffy. + +Mom and Dad say, "Kids, this is your surprise. You can choose one animal to take home. It will be your new friend. It will play with you, cuddle with you, and love you. Which one do you like?" + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They forget about their balloons. They look at the animals. They see one that they like the most. It is a small, white, and soft kitten. It has blue eyes and a pink nose. It purrs and meows. + +Anna and Ben say, "We want this one. We want the kitten. It is so soft and cute. Can we have it, please?" + +Mom and Dad say, "Yes, you can. It is a gift for you. You can name it, feed it, and take care of it. It will be your new balloon. But better." + +Anna and Ben hug the kitten. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best. We love you. And we love our kitten. We will call it Baloo. Like balloon. But better." +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a big jar of sugar on the shelf. They tried to reach it, but it was too high. + +"Let's get a chair," Ben said. He pushed a chair to the shelf and climbed on it. He grabbed the jar of sugar and tried to get down. But he slipped and dropped the jar. It broke on the floor and sugar spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom will be mad!" + +Ben was scared too. He heard Mom coming. He hid under the table with Lily. + +"Who made this mess?" Mom asked. She saw the broken jar and the sugar. She was not happy. + +Ben and Lily did not answer. They hoped Mom would not see them. + +But Mom was smart. She looked under the table and saw Ben and Lily. They looked at her with big eyes. + +"Ben, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Lily were sorry. They wanted to make Mom happy, not mad. + +"We wanted to make a cake for you," Ben said. + +"But we could not reach the sugar," Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She was not mad anymore. She was calm. She knew Ben and Lily were trying to be nice. + +"That was sweet of you, but you should not play with sugar," Mom said. "It is dangerous and messy. Next time, ask me for help, okay?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to Mom. They hugged her. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them back. She said, "I love you, Ben and Lily. But now we have to clean up this mess." + +Ben and Lily helped Mom clean up the sugar. They learned their lesson. They did not play with sugar again. They waited for Mom to make a cake with them. +Tim and Mia went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Tim found a big shell that was closed. He wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Look, Mia, I found an oyster!" he said. "Maybe it has a pearl!" + +Mia was curious too. She wanted to see the oyster. She asked Tim to share it with her. + +"Please, Tim, can I see the oyster too?" she said. + +Tim did not want to share. He wanted to keep the oyster for himself. He said no to Mia. + +"No, Mia, it is mine. Go find your own oyster!" he said. + +Mia was sad and angry. She thought Tim was not nice. She tried to grab the oyster from Tim. Tim held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the oyster. They did not see Mom and Dad coming. + +"Tim, Mia, what are you doing?" Mom said. "Why are you fighting over the oyster?" + +Tim and Mia stopped pulling. They looked at Mom and Dad. They felt ashamed. + +"We are sorry, Mom, Dad," they said. "We both wanted to see the oyster." + +Mom and Dad smiled. They understood. They said they would help them open the oyster together. + +"Let's see if the oyster has a pearl," Dad said. "Maybe it is a fine pearl." + +He used a knife to open the oyster. Tim and Mia watched. They saw something shiny inside the oyster. It was a pearl! + +"Wow, it is a fine pearl!" Tim said. + +"It is so pretty!" Mia said. + +They were both happy. They decided to share the pearl. They thanked Mom and Dad for helping them. + +"Thank you, Mom, Dad," they said. + +"You are welcome, Tim, Mia," Mom and Dad said. "We are glad you are happy. And we are proud of you for sharing." + +They hugged and kissed. They put the pearl in a small box. They kept it as a souvenir of their beach day. They played some more in the sand and water. They had fun. They learned to share. They were a fine family. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with colors and shapes. Today, they have a big box of stickers. They want to decorate something with the stickers. + +They look around the room. They see a cup on the table. The cup is white and plain. Lily says, "Let's decorate the cup! It will be cute and fun!" + +Ben agrees. He says, "Yes, let's do it! I will choose the stickers. You will stick them on the cup." + +They open the box of stickers. They see many stickers. They see stickers of animals, flowers, stars, and letters. Ben picks some stickers. He gives them to Lily. Lily sticks them on the cup. + +They take turns. They pick and stick. They cover the cup with stickers. The cup looks colorful and cute. They are happy and proud. They show the cup to their mom. + +Mom smiles. She says, "Wow, you did a great job! The cup is very cute and creative. You are very clever and artistic. I love it!" + +Lily and Ben hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom! We love you too!" They are happy and proud. They drink juice from the cup. They share the cup. They are good twins. +Anna was a daughter who loved to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big red truck. She liked to make the truck go fast and loud. She liked to pretend that she was a strong driver who could go anywhere. + +One day, Anna's mom said they were going to the park. Anna was very excite. She wanted to take her truck with her. She put the truck in her backpack and ran to the car. She hoped there would be a lot of dirt and rocks at the park. She wanted to make her truck go over them. + +When they got to the park, Anna saw a big hill. She ran to the top of the hill with her truck. She saw a lot of other kids playing there. Some had bikes, some had balls, some had dolls. Anna smiled and said hello. She wanted to make new friends. + +She put her truck on the ground and pushed it down the hill. The truck went very fast and loud. It made Anna laugh. She ran after it and picked it up. She saw a boy with a blue truck. He was watching her. He said, "That's a cool truck. Can I play with you?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, you can. I'm Anna. What's your name?" + +The boy said, "I'm Ben. I like your truck. It's very strong. Can I show you my truck?" + +Anna said, "Sure, I want to see your truck. Let's play together." + +Anna and Ben became friends. They played with their trucks for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They made their trucks go fast and loud. They made their trucks go over dirt and rocks. They pretended that they were strong drivers who could go anywhere. +Lily and Max like to play in the park. They like to swing, climb and slide. One day, they see a big slide that they have never seen before. It is very high and shiny and has a sign that says "Super Slide". + +"Let's try it!" Lily says. She runs to the ladder and climbs up. Max follows her. They reach the top and look down. The slide is very long and has twists and turns. They see water spraying from the sides. + +"Wow, this looks fun!" Max says. He sits on the slide and pushes off. He goes very fast and feels the water on his face. He laughs and screams. Lily sits on the slide and pushes off too. She goes very fast and feels the water on her hair. She laughs and screams too. + +They slide and slide until they reach the bottom. They splash into a big pool of water. They are wet and happy. They get out of the pool and run to the slide again. + +They slide and slide many times. They have a lot of fun. But then, they notice something. The water is not spraying from the sides anymore. The slide is dry and dull. They see a man with a tool and a hose. He is fixing something. + +"What is he doing?" Lily asks. + +"I think the slide has a leak," Max says. "The water is not coming out." + +"Is the slide broken?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Max says. "Maybe we should wait." + +They wait and watch. The man works and works. He turns a knob and twists a wire. He puts tape and glue. He tests the hose. He smiles and nods. + +"OK, kids, the slide is fixed!" he says. "You can slide again!" + +Lily and Max cheer. They run to the ladder and climb up. They sit on the slide and push off. They go very fast and feel the water again. They laugh and scream again. + +They slide and slide until they are tired. They get out of the pool and dry off. They thank the man for fixing the slide. + +"That was the best slide ever!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, it was!" Max says. "But you know what?" + +"What?" Lily asks. + +"I think the water was fake," Max says. "It was not real water. It was just air and bubbles." + +"Really?" Lily asks. "How do you know?" + +"Because it did not taste like water," Max says. "It tasted like soap." + +Lily giggles. She remembers that she licked the water too. It did taste like soap. + +"Maybe you are right," she says. "Maybe the water was fake. But it was still fun!" + +They hug and smile. They walk to their mom and dad. They tell them about the slide. They say they had a lot of fun. They say they want to come back again. They say they don't mind the fake water. They say they love the super slide. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to match the colors of their cars with the colors of the pillows on the sofa. Lily had a red car and a red pillow, and Ben had a blue car and a blue pillow. + +"Look, Lily, I have a blue car and a blue pillow. They match!" Ben said. + +"I have a red car and a red pillow. They match, too!" Lily said. + +They were having fun until they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was Mom, who was washing the dishes in the sink. She looked angry and sad. + +"Oh no, the sink is broken! The water is going everywhere!" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen to see what was wrong. They saw water dripping from the sink and splashing on the floor. Mom was trying to stop the water with a towel, but it was not working. + +"Mom, what happened?" Lily asked. + +"The sink is old and bad. It needs to be fixed. But we don't have money to fix it. We have to wait until Dad comes home from work. He will know what to do." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Mom. They wanted to help her. They looked around the kitchen and saw some cups and bowls on the shelf. They had an idea. + +"Mom, we can help you. We can match the cups and bowls with the water. We can put them under the sink and catch the water. Then the floor will not be wet." Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy that they were so smart and kind. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very good children. You are right, we can match the cups and bowls with the water. That will help a lot. Let's do it together." Mom said. + +They worked as a team and matched the cups and bowls with the water. They filled them up and emptied them in the bucket. They made a game out of it and laughed. The kitchen was not so gloomy anymore. They were waiting for Dad to come home and fix the sink. They knew he would be proud of them. They were a happy family. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big red automobile. The automobile can make noises and move by itself. Lily and Max pretend they are driving to different places. + +One day, their mom says, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to learn something new today." Lily and Max are curious. They follow their mom to the kitchen. Their mom shows them a big bowl of soup. "This is a special soup. It has many flavors. Some are sweet, some are sour, and some are spicy. Spicy means it makes your tongue feel hot. Do you want to try some?" + +Lily and Max nod. They each take a spoon and dip it in the soup. They blow on it and then taste it. Lily likes the soup. She says, "Mmm, this is yummy. I like the spicy flavor. It makes me feel warm." Max does not like the soup. He says, "Yuck, this is icky. I don't like the spicy flavor. It makes me feel hurt." He spits out the soup and makes a face. + +Their mom smiles. She says, "That's okay, Max. You don't have to like everything. Everyone has different tastes. You can have some bread and cheese instead. But I'm glad you tried something new. You learned something new today. You learned what spicy means." + +Lily and Max hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. Can we play with the automobile now?" Their mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, let's clean up the mess." They help their mom wash the dishes and wipe the table. Then they run to their room and play with the big red automobile. They have fun. They are happy. +Lonely Wolf was sad. He had no friends to play with. He lived in a big forest, but all the other animals were afraid of him. They ran away when they saw him. Lonely Wolf wished he could find someone who liked him. + +One day, he heard a loud sneeze. He followed the sound and found a little bunny. The bunny was sick. He had a red nose and watery eyes. He was shivering in the cold. Lonely Wolf felt sorry for the bunny. He wanted to help him. + +"Hello, little bunny," he said. "Why are you sneezing?" + +The bunny was scared. He saw the big teeth and the sharp claws of Lonely Wolf. He thought Lonely Wolf wanted to eat him. He tried to hop away, but he was too weak. + +"Please, don't hurt me," he said. "I'm sick. I need to find my home." + +Lonely Wolf shook his head. He did not want to hurt the bunny. He wanted to be his friend. + +"I won't hurt you," he said. "I want to help you. I can take you to your home. I can keep you warm and give you some food. Maybe then you will stop sneezing." + +The bunny was surprised. He looked at Lonely Wolf with curious eyes. He saw that Lonely Wolf was not mean. He was kind and gentle. He decided to trust him. + +"Thank you, Lonely Wolf," he said. "You are very nice. Can I be your friend?" + +Lonely Wolf smiled. He felt happy. He had found a friend. He nodded and picked up the bunny with his mouth. He carried him to his home. He made a soft bed for him and shared his food with him. He stayed with him until he felt better. + +The bunny and Lonely Wolf became good friends. They played together and learned from each other. They were not afraid of each other. They were happy. + +The other animals saw them and realized that Lonely Wolf was not bad. He was just lonely. They decided to give him a chance. They came to visit him and the bunny. They invited them to join their games and parties. Lonely Wolf was not lonely anymore. He had many friends. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge someone by their appearance. Be kind and helpful to others. You might find a true friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers. Some are red, some are yellow, some are pink. They smell nice. + +"Look, Ben, this flower is not open yet. It is a bud," Anna says. + +"What is a bud?" Ben asks. + +"A bud is a flower that is not ready to bloom. Bloom means to open and show its color. Like this one," Anna says and points to a purple flower. + +"Wow, it is pretty. Can we pick it?" Ben asks. + +"No, we can't. If we pick it, it will die. We can only look and smell. But we can make a chain with these grasses," Anna says and shows Ben how to tie the grasses together. + +They make a long chain with the grasses. They put it around their necks and pretend to be kings and queens. They laugh and run around the garden. + +They see a tall tree. It has many green leaves and some brown nuts. They want to climb the tree and get the nuts. + +"Can we climb the tree, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. It is very tall. Maybe it is not safe. We need to ask mom or dad," Anna says. + +They run to the house and find mom. They show her the chain and the tree. + +"Mom, can we climb the tree and get the nuts?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles and says, "The chain is very nice. You are very creative. But the tree is too tall for you. You might fall and hurt yourself. The nuts are for the squirrels. You can watch them from here. How about we make some cookies instead?" + +Anna and Ben agree. They go to the kitchen and help mom make some cookies. They use flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate chips. They mix, roll, cut, and bake. They make some cookies in the shape of flowers. They eat some and share some with dad and the squirrels. They are happy. +Anna and Ben liked to play with their cards. The cards had pictures of animals, fruits, and colors. They had to find two cards that matched and put them together. Anna was good at matching, but Ben was not. He was impatient and wanted to win. + +"Look, Anna, I have a match!" Ben said, holding up two cards with red apples. + +"No, Ben, those are not a match. One apple is big and one apple is small. They have to be the same," Anna said, shaking her head. + +"But they are both red and both apples!" Ben said, frowning. + +"That is not enough, Ben. You have to look at the shape and the size too. Here, I will show you a match," Anna said, picking up two cards with blue birds. + +"See, Ben, these are a match. They are both blue and both birds. And they are both the same shape and size. They look like the sky," Anna said, pointing to the window. + +Ben looked at the cards and then at the sky. He saw that the sky was blue and had some white clouds. He thought he had an idea. + +"Wait, Anna, I have a match too!" Ben said, grabbing two cards with white clouds. + +"No, Ben, those are not a match either. One cloud is fluffy and one cloud is flat. They have to be the same," Anna said, sighing. + +"But they are both white and both clouds! And they look like the sky too!" Ben said, smiling. + +"That is not enough, Ben. You have to look at the shape and the size too. You are not matching, you are just guessing. You have to pay attention, Ben," Anna said, getting annoyed. + +Ben did not like to pay attention. He liked to guess and have fun. He did not care if he matched or not. He just wanted to play with the cards and the sky. He had another idea. + +"Look, Anna, I have a match!" Ben said, holding up two cards with yellow suns. + +Anna looked at the cards and then at the sky. She saw that the sky was blue and had some white clouds. And she saw that the sun was yellow and bright. She smiled. + +"Yes, Ben, you have a match. They are both yellow and both suns. And they are both the same shape and size. And they look like the sky too. You did it, Ben. You matched!" Anna said, clapping her hands. + +Ben was happy. He matched. He matched the cards and the sky. He hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. You helped me match." + +Anna hugged Ben back and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother. You learned to match." + +They put the cards away and went outside. They looked at the sky and the sun. They matched. They were happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to build a big castle with sand. They took their buckets and shovels and went to the sea. The sun was bright and the water was blue. They were very cheerful and excited. + +They found a good spot near the waves and started to dig and pile up the sand. They made a big tower and a wall and a gate. They used shells and stones to decorate their castle. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look at our castle, Lily! It is the best castle ever!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is very pretty and strong. No one can break it!" Lily said. + +But then they saw a big wave coming towards them. It was bigger and faster than the other waves. It looked like a giant monster. Tom and Lily were scared and ran away from their castle. + +"Run, Lily, run! The wave will smash our castle!" Tom shouted. + +They reached a safe place and turned around. They saw the wave crash on their castle and wash it away. Their castle was gone. They felt sad and angry. + +"Bad wave, bad wave! You ruined our castle!" Lily cried. + +Tom hugged Lily and tried to cheer her up. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. We can build another castle. We still have our buckets and shovels. And we still have each other. We can have more fun!" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "You are right, Tom. We can build another castle. And we can make it even bigger and better!" + +They dried their tears and went back to the sand. They started to build a new castle. They were cheerful again. They had a lot of fun. +Anna is a smart girl. She likes to learn new things. She has a desk in her room. She keeps her books and toys on her desk. + +One day, Anna wants to play with her friend Lily. She asks her mom if she can go to Lily's house. Her mom says yes, but she has to do her homework first. Anna says okay. She goes to her desk and opens her book. + +But Anna does not like homework. She thinks it is boring. She wants to have fun with Lily. She looks out the window and sees Lily waiting for her. She has a big smile and a ball. Anna thinks Lily is more fun than homework. + +Anna has an idea. She puts her book under her pillow. She tells her mom she is done with her homework. She grabs her coat and runs to the door. She thinks she is very smart. + +But her mom is smarter. She knows Anna did not do her homework. She sees the book under the pillow. She calls Anna and tells her to come back. She says Anna has to finish her homework before she can play with Lily. Anna is sad. She walks back to her desk and opens her book. She learns a lesson. She knows she has to do her homework first, then she can have fun. She thinks her mom is very smart. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Lila asks. + +"Sure, but ask the owner first," mom says. + +They walk to the dog and its owner. The owner is a nice lady. She smiles and says, "Hello, this is Max. He is very friendly. You can pet him if you want." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They pet Max gently. Max wags his tail and licks their faces. They giggle and hug him. + +"Thank you, lady. Max is a good dog," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, kids. Max likes you too," the lady says. + +They say goodbye to Max and the lady. They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them how much they love Max. + +But later, Lila and Ben feel something on their skin. They have red spots and bumps. They scratch and scratch. They have an itch. + +"Mom, dad, we itch!" they cry. + +Mom and dad look at them. They see the spots and bumps. They know what it is. + +"Oh no, you have a mild allergy to dog hair. Don't worry, it will go away soon. But we have to go home and wash you," mom says. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They like Max, but they don't like the itch. They hope they can see Max again, but without the itch. + +They go home with their mom and dad. They wash and put on some cream. The itch goes away slowly. They feel better. + +They learn something new. They gain some knowledge. They know they have to be careful with dogs. But they still love dogs. They dream of Max and his fluffy fur. +Lily was playing in the garden with her ball. She liked to kick the ball and watch it bounce. She saw a small hill with many tiny black dots on it. She ran to the hill and kicked the ball hard. The ball hit the hill and made a loud noise. + +The tiny black dots were ants. They were angry that Lily kicked their home. They came out of the hill and ran to Lily. They bit her legs and feet. Lily felt a lot of pain. She dropped the ball and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "Help, help, help!" + +Her mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Lily and the ants. She ran to Lily and picked her up. She brushed off the ants and hugged Lily. + +"Shh, shh, shh," she said. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here." + +She took Lily to the house and put some cream on her bites. She gave her a glass of water and a cookie. She told her a story about a huge ant who was kind and helped other animals. + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She liked the story. She said sorry to the ants for kicking their home. She said thank you to her mom for helping her. She learned to be careful and gentle with the ants. She hoped they would be friends. +Anna and Ben were playing with a big box of toys. They liked to pretend they were pirates and animals and superheroes. Anna found a feather in the box and put it in her hair. She said, "Look, I'm a bird!" + +Ben wanted the feather too. He said, "Give me the feather, Anna. I want to be a bird." + +Anna said, "No, it's mine. Find your own feather." + +Ben was angry. He tried to grab the feather from Anna's hair. Anna moved away and said, "Stop it, Ben. You're being bad." + +Ben did not stop. He reached out and pinched Anna's arm. Anna cried out and dropped the feather. Ben picked it up and said, "Ha, ha, now I have the feather." + +Anna was very sad and hurt. She ran to their mom and told her what Ben did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Ben, that was very bad. You hurt Anna and took her feather. You need to say sorry and give it back." + +Ben did not want to say sorry or give back the feather. He said, "No, it's mine. I like it." + +Mom said, "Ben, if you don't say sorry and give back the feather, you will have a time out. No more playing with toys for you." + +Ben did not like time outs. He knew mom was serious. He looked at Anna and saw her tears. He felt a little sorry. He said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Anna. Here's your feather." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. Do you want to share the feather and play together?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm sorry I was bad. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna and Ben hugged and said, "We're friends again." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you both. Now, why don't you play nicely with the feather and the other toys?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Okay, mom. We will." + +They went back to the box of toys and played happily with the feather and the other toys. They pretended they were birds and flew around the room. They had fun and did not fight anymore. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big room with many toys. One day, they find a big box in the corner. They crawl inside the box and pretend it is a spaceship. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben says in a loud voice. + +"Yes, captain!" Anna says in a loud voice too. + +They make noises like rockets and stars. They have fun in the box. They do not hear Mom calling them for lunch. + +Mom looks for Anna and Ben. She does not see them in the big room. She sees the big box. She hears noises inside the box. She smiles and walks to the box. + +"Hello, astronauts!" Mom says in a soft voice. + +Anna and Ben stop making noises. They peek out of the box. They see Mom smiling at them. + +"Hi, Mom!" they say in a happy voice. + +"Are you hungry?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom!" they say. + +Mom helps them out of the box. She hugs them and says, "You are very creative and brave. You have a rare gift of imagination. I love you." + +Anna and Ben hug Mom back. They say, "We love you too, Mom. Can we play in the box again later?" + +Mom nods and says, "Yes, you can. But first, let's have some lunch." + +They walk to the kitchen together. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny. + +"Look, a cricket!" Tom said. "I want to measure it. How big is it?" + +He took a ruler from his pocket. He tried to put it next to the cricket. But the cricket jumped away. + +"Too fast!" Lily said. "You can't measure it. It is clever." + +Tom did not give up. He chased the cricket with his ruler. He wanted to know how big it was. + +The cricket jumped from leaf to leaf. It made a loud noise. It did not want to be measured. + +"Stop, Tom!" Lily said. "You are scaring it. It is not fun." + +Tom stopped. He looked at Lily. He looked at the cricket. He felt sorry. + +"Sorry, cricket," he said. "You are clever. And you are pretty. I don't want to hurt you." + +He put his ruler away. He smiled at Lily. They watched the cricket together. It was happy. It jumped and sang. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park.

From then on, Lily made sure to put her plate away before she went to play outside. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to build things with his blocks. One day, Timmy's mom brought home a big, unusual vegetable called cauliflower. Timmy had never seen anything like it before! + +Timmy's mom told him that they were going to cook the cauliflower for dinner. Timmy wanted to help, so he asked if he could build something with the cauliflower. His mom laughed and said, "You can't build with cauliflower, silly!" + +But Timmy was determined. He took some of the cauliflower and started stacking it on top of each other. It wasn't very sturdy, but it was still a cauliflower tower! Timmy was so proud of himself. + +When it was time for dinner, Timmy's mom cooked the cauliflower and they all ate it together. Timmy thought it tasted pretty good, but he was more excited about his unusual cauliflower tower. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a garden where she planted seeds. Every day, she watered them and watched them grow. One day, she woke up on Tuesday and saw that her flowers had grown bigger! She was so happy. + +But then, she noticed that one of her flowers looked lonely. It was all by itself and didn't have any friends. Lily felt sad for the lonely flower. So, she decided to plant more seeds around it so it wouldn't be lonely anymore. And before she knew it, her garden was full of beautiful flowers, all grown from the seeds she planted. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to ride her bike in the park. One day, she saw a big cushion on the ground. It was so clear and soft, she wanted to ride her bike over it. + +Lily's friend, Tom, came over and said, "Wow, that cushion looks fun to ride on. Can I try?" + +"Sure!" Lily said, excited to share the fun. + +Tom rode over the cushion, but it wasn't as soft as it looked. His bike hit a bump and he fell off. He hurt his arm and started to cry. + +Lily felt bad and said, "I'm sorry I didn't know it wasn't safe to ride on. Let's go get some help." + +They went to find an adult, but no one was around. Tom's arm hurt more and more. They waited and waited, but no one came. Finally, they decided to go home. Tom's arm was still hurting and they were both sad they couldn't play anymore. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to draw shapes and his favorite shape was a triangle. One day, he drew a triangle on a piece of paper and was very proud of it. + +But as he was walking outside, a gust of wind came and blew the paper out of his hand. Timmy looked around but couldn't find his paper with the triangle on it. He felt sad and lost without it. + +He asked his mom for help and she told him to be humble and keep searching. Timmy listened and eventually found his paper stuck to a tree. He was so happy and felt proud again. From then on, he made sure to hold onto his drawings tightly so he wouldn't lose them again. +One day, Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they liked to make pretend games with them. Sam had a toy car and Lily had a toy doll. + +"Let's bury our toys and see if they grow," Sam said. He liked to dig holes in the dirt and hide things in them. + +"Okay," Lily said. She thought it was a fun idea. She followed Sam to a corner of the garden where there was a lot of loose soil. They started to dig with their hands and put their toys in the holes. Then they covered them with dirt and patted it down. + +"There, now we have to wait and see what happens," Sam said. He smiled and looked at Lily. + +"But what if they can't breathe?" Lily asked. She remembered that her mommy had told her that living things need oxygen to stay alive. She wondered if her doll was scared and lonely under the ground. + +"Don't be silly, they are just toys. They don't need oxygen. They are not alive," Sam said. He thought Lily was being babyish and he rolled his eyes. + +"But what if they are?" Lily said. She felt sad and worried. She wanted to dig up her doll and hug her. She didn't like this game anymore. + +"Stop it, Lily. You are ruining the game. Just leave them alone. They will be fine," Sam said. He was getting annoyed and he pushed Lily away. + +Lily fell down and started to cry. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She wished Sam was nicer to her. She wished he was not so careless with their toys. She wished they could play something else. She ran to the house and called for her mommy. She left Sam alone in the garden with his buried toys. +Lily and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big box and some crayons. They want to make a house for their toys. + +"Look, I draw a door and a window," Lily says, showing Ben her side of the box. + +"That's good, Lily. I draw a roof and a chimney," Ben replies, pointing to his side of the box. + +They cut out the door and the window with scissors. They put some pillows and blankets inside the box. They invite their toys to come in. + +"Welcome to our house, Mr. Bear and Mrs. Bunny," Lily says, holding her stuffed animals. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. Your house is very nice and cozy," Mr. Bear replies, in a voice that Lily makes. + +"Can we have some tea and cookies, please?" Mrs. Bunny asks, in a voice that Ben makes. + +"Of course, Mrs. Bunny. We have some pretend tea and cookies here," Ben says, handing her a plastic cup and a wooden cookie. + +They sit on the floor and pretend to drink and eat. They talk and laugh with their toys. They are very happy. + +The sun is shining and the birds are singing. The backyard is calm and peaceful. Lily and Ben are having fun in their house. They love to play together. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben says, showing his creation to his sister. "It is very tall and strong!" + +Lily looks at Ben's tower and smiles. She likes his tower, but she has an idea. She urges Ben to make something else with her. "Ben, let's make a castle with the blocks! We can use the red and blue and yellow blocks to make the walls and the windows and the door. And we can use the green and brown blocks to make the grass and the trees. It will be amazing!" + +Ben thinks for a minute. He likes his tower, but he also likes castles. He agrees to make a castle with Lily. They start to take apart his tower and use the blocks to make the castle. They work together and have fun. + +Soon, they finish their castle. It is big and colorful and has many details. They are very proud of their work. They pretend to be a king and a queen and live in the castle. They have a lot of fun playing with their castle and their blocks. They think it is the best thing they ever made. +Lily was very good at running. She liked to run with her friends at the park. Sometimes they had races and Lily always won. She had many trophies at home that she got from running. + +One day, Lily saw a big trophy at the store. It was shiny and had a star on top. Lily wanted the trophy very much. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said no. She said Lily did not need the trophy. She said Lily already had many trophies and she should be happy with them. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She thought her mom was terrible. She wanted the trophy more than anything. She decided to take the trophy when her mom was not looking. She put the trophy in her backpack and ran out of the store. + +But Lily did not run very far. A man stopped her and asked her what was in her backpack. He was a store worker. He saw the trophy and knew Lily had taken it. He was very mad. He called Lily's mom and told her what Lily had done. + +Lily's mom came and saw the trophy. She was very disappointed and sad. She said Lily had done a bad thing. She said Lily had to give back the trophy and say sorry. She said Lily had to learn to be happy with what she had and not take things that did not belong to her. + +Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She gave back the trophy and said sorry to the store worker and her mom. She realized she did not need the trophy. She had enough trophies at home and she had her mom who loved her. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry. She said she would never take things again. She said she loved her mom. Her mom hugged her back and said she loved her too. She said they would go home and have some cookies. Lily smiled and felt better. She learned a lesson that day. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. They also liked to look for bugs, flowers and twigs. Twigs were good for making things, like houses, boats and swords. + +"Look, Mia, I found a big twig!" Leo said, holding up a long, brown stick. "Let's make a boat and sail it in the pond!" + +"OK, Leo, that sounds fun!" Mia said, eager to join her brother. She found a smaller twig and tied it to the big one with a piece of string. "This can be the mast and the sail!" + +They ran to the pond and put their boat in the water. They watched it float and bob with the wind and the waves. They pretended they were pirates and explorers, looking for treasure and adventure. + +After a while, their mom called them. "Mia, Leo, it's time for a nap!" she said. "You've been playing hard and you need some rest." + +"Aww, mom, do we have to?" Leo whined. "We're not tired!" + +"Yes, you do," mom said. "Naps are good for you. They help you grow and learn and have more energy. Come on, let's go home and snuggle in your beds." + +Mia and Leo followed their mom, but they were not happy. They wanted to keep playing with their boat and their twigs. They dragged their feet and pouted. + +But when they got home, they felt their eyes getting heavy and their bodies getting sleepy. They climbed into their beds and hugged their teddy bears. Mom kissed them and tucked them in. + +"Sweet dreams, Mia and Leo," she said. "I love you." + +"I love you too, mom," Mia and Leo said. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of their boat and their twigs and their adventures. They smiled in their sleep. Naps were not so bad after all. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. They run to the rainbow and try to touch it. + +"Wow, look at the colors!" Lily says. + +"It is so pretty!" Ben says. + +They stretch their arms and jump, but they cannot reach the rainbow. It is too high and far. + +Suddenly, they feel something wet on their heads. It is a shower of rain. The rain is cold and sour. It makes them shiver and frown. + +"Yuck, I don't like this rain!" Lily says. + +"Me neither, let's go inside!" Ben says. + +They run back to the house, holding hands. They are wet and sad. They want to play with the rainbow. + +But when they get to the door, they see something amazing. The rainbow has moved. It is now over their house. It looks like a bridge of colors. + +"Look, the rainbow is here!" Lily says. + +"It followed us!" Ben says. + +They smile and laugh. They feel happy again. They think the rainbow is their friend. It appeared to make them feel better. They wave to the rainbow and say thank you. Then they go inside to dry off and have a snack. +Lily and Max love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big dolphin. The dolphin is blue and soft and makes a funny sound when they squeeze it. + +One day, Lily and Max decide to decorate the dolphin. They find some stickers, ribbons, and glitter in their art box. They stick the stickers on the dolphin's back, tie the ribbons around its tail, and sprinkle the glitter on its head.

Why are you smelly and loud?" + +The dog wags his tail and licks Ben's face. He says, "Woof, woof. My name is Max. I am smelly and loud because I have no home. I sleep in the trash and bark at the cars." + +Ben feels sad for Max. He says, "That is not good, Max. You need a home and a family. You need someone to love you and support you." + +Max says, "Woof, woof. I would like that. But who would want a smelly and loud dog like me?" + +Ben says, "I would, Max. You are a good dog.

Ben says. + +They find a stick and poke the lemons. Some lemons fall to the ground. Anna and Ben run to get them. They are happy. + +They each take a lemon and peel it. They make a face when they taste it. + +"Yuck, Ben, this is not sweet. This is sour. It hurts my mouth." Anna says. + +"Me too, Anna. This is not good. Let's end this game. Let's go play something else." Ben says. + +They throw the lemons away and run to the slide. They forget about the lemons and have fun.

A beautiful feather!" + +The animals looked at the feather and smiled. They thanked the bird for his service. + +But then, a strong wind blew and the feather flew away from the tray.

He chased the feather in the air, but it was too fast and too high. + +"Be careful, bird, don't fly too far!" the lion warned. + +The bird did not listen. He wanted his feather back. He flew higher and higher, until he reached the clouds. But the clouds were wet and cold. The bird felt his wings get heavy and wet. He realized he had made a mistake. He tried to fly back, but he was too tired and too weak. + +"Help, help, I can't fly!" the bird shouted. + +The animals heard his cry and looked up. They saw the bird falling from the sky. They were very scared and worried. + +"Quick, we have to catch him!" the zebra said. + +They ran to where the bird was falling. They stretched their necks and their backs and their legs.

They told him not to worry about the feather. They said it was just a feather, and he was more important. + +The bird understood. He learned his lesson. He said he was sorry for being greedy and foolish. He said he would not chase feathers anymore. He said he would be happy with what he had. + +The animals forgave him and smiled. They said they still liked him as their waiter. They said they would play with him again. + +The bird was happy. He felt lucky to have such good friends. He said he would serve them better next time.

Lily is your doll. You can have her back." Tom says. + +He gives Lily back to Anna. Anna hugs Lily and smiles. She is happy to have her friend back. + +"Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry I shouted at you.
