Tom said, when the sun went behind another cloud. + +They kept counting and playing. They had fun. They did not mind the clouds. They knew the sun would always shine again. They just had to wait. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved horses. They lived on a farm with their mom and dad, who had many animals. One day, they asked their mom if they could go and look at the horses in the stable. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't go too close to them. They are big and strong and might kick or bite," their mom said. + +Tom and Lily put on their hats and boots and ran to the stable. They saw four horses inside, eating hay and drinking water. They were brown, black, white and gray. They had long tails and long manes. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Lily said. + +"I like the black one. He has a white star on his forehead," Tom said. + +They stood outside the stable and watched the horses for a while. They wanted to touch them, but they remembered what their mom said. They waved and said hello to the horses, but the horses did not seem to notice them. + +"Maybe they are shy," Lily said. + +"Or maybe they are bored," Tom said. + +He had an idea. He picked up a red apple from a basket near the stable door. He held it in his hand and walked slowly to the black horse. He stretched his arm and offered the apple to the horse. + +"Here, horsey, do you want this? It's yummy and sweet," he said. + +The black horse looked at Tom and the apple. He sniffed it and then took a bite. He chewed and swallowed and then nuzzled Tom's hand. He made a soft sound, like a sigh. + +"See, he likes me!" Tom said. + +Lily smiled and picked up a green apple. She walked to the white horse and did the same thing. The white horse also ate the apple and rubbed her nose against Lily's hand. She made a happy sound, like a whinny. + +"They like us!" Lily said. + +Tom and Lily laughed and hugged each other. They felt happy and proud. They had made friends with the horses in the stable. +Ben loves to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. His favorite car is a blue one that can zoom very fast. He likes to make zoom sounds when he pushes it on the floor. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom and his blue car. He sees a big hill with grass and dirt. He thinks it is a good place to zoom his car. He runs up the hill and puts his car on the top. He says, "Ready, set, go!" and lets his car zoom down the hill. + +But his car zooms too fast and flies off the hill. It lands in a bush with flowers and bees. Ben is sad and scared. He does not want to lose his blue car. He does not like the bees. He cries, "Mom, help!" + +His mom hears him and comes to the bush. She sees the blue car and the bees. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. I will get your car. Just stay away from the bees. They are lively and busy, but they will not hurt you if you leave them alone." She carefully reaches into the bush and grabs the blue car. She gives it to Ben and hugs him. + +Ben is happy and relieved. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and my blue car." He kisses his mom and his car. He decides to zoom his car on the flat ground instead of the hill. He still makes zoom sounds and has fun. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily gets a new doll. It is big and pretty. It has long hair and a pink dress. Lily is very happy. + +Tom sees the new doll. He wants to play with it too. He asks Lily, "Can I hold your doll for a minute?" + +Lily says, "No, this is my doll. You have your own car. Go play with your car." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is not nice. He is jealous of her doll. He says, "Your doll is not so pretty. Your doll is ugly and boring. My car is better. It can go fast and make noises." + +Lily feels hurt and angry. She thinks Tom is not nice. She is proud of her doll. She says, "Your car is not so good. Your car is old and dirty. It can't do anything. My doll is better. It can talk and sing." + +They start to shout at each other. They do not want to play together anymore. They turn away and sit on opposite sides of the room. + +They seem very unhappy. They miss each other. They want to be friends again. But they do not know how to say sorry. They wait and wait. They hope the other one will say something. But no one says anything. They feel lonely and silly. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms or snails or beetles. They put them in a jar and gave them names. + +One day, they found a big frog. It was green and slimy and had long legs. Ben wanted to keep it as a pet. He put it in the jar and closed the lid. He said, "This is Fred. He is my frog. He can hop and croak and eat flies." + +Lily did not like the frog. She thought it was smelly and scary. She said, "No, Ben. You can't keep Fred. He is not happy in the jar. He needs water and plants and other frogs. He wants to escape." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "Fred is mine. He likes me. He is my friend." He hugged the jar and ran away. + +Lily followed him. She wanted to help Fred. She saw Ben put the jar on a rock and sit next to it. She saw Fred press his nose against the glass and look sad. She said, "Ben, please. Let Fred go. He is not a toy. He is a living thing. He has feelings. He is not your friend. He is afraid of you." + +Ben looked at Lily. He looked at Fred. He saw Fred's eyes and heard his croak. He felt sorry for Fred. He said, "You're right, Lily. Fred is not happy. He wants to go home. I'm sorry, Fred. I was selfish. I will let you go." He opened the lid and took Fred out of the jar. He said, "Goodbye, Fred. Have a good life. Be free." He put Fred on the ground and watched him hop away. + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You did the right thing. You are a good brother. I'm proud of you." She hugged Ben and said, "I love you." + +Ben hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too." They went back to the garden and played with their other bugs. They were happy. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But then Sam saw a big dog. He wanted to pet it. He ran to the dog and said, "Hello, doggy!" + +But the dog did not like Sam. It barked and bit Sam's arm. Sam cried out loud. He was hurt. Lily ran to Sam and saw the blood. She was scared. She said, "Sam, we need to go home. Home is safe. I will help you." + +Lily took Sam's hand and tried to carry him. But Sam was too heavy. Lily was small. She could not carry Sam. She looked around and saw a man. He was nice. He had a hat and a bike. He said, "What's wrong, kids? Do you need help?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. The dog bit Sam. He is hurt. We need to go home. Can you carry him?" + +The man said, "Of course. I will carry him. You can ride my bike. Where is your home?" + +Lily said, "It is not far. It is near the big tree. Thank you, mister." + +The man lifted Sam and put him on his shoulder. He gave Lily his bike. They went to Sam's home. Sam's mom was there. She saw Sam and Lily. She was worried. She said, "Oh, Sam, what happened? You are hurt. Come here, I will take care of you." + +She hugged Sam and took him inside. She cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it. She gave him a kiss and a cookie. She said, "You are brave, Sam. You will be okay. And you, Lily, you are a good friend. Thank you for helping Sam. Do you want a cookie, too?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. And thank you, too, mister. You are nice. You helped us." + +The man said, "You are welcome, kids. I'm glad you are safe. Be careful next time. And don't pet strange dogs. They might be mean." + +He waved goodbye and left. Sam and Lily ate their cookies and smiled. They were happy. They were home. Home was safe. +Tom is a poor boy. He lives in a small house with his mom and dad. They do not have much money. They do not have a car or a bike. They walk everywhere. + +One day, Tom and his mom walk to the store. They need to buy some food. The sky is gray and it looks like rain. Tom sees a big puddle on the road. He wants to jump in it and splash. He asks his mom, "Can I jump in the puddle, please?" + +His mom says, "No, Tom, you can't. You will get wet and dirty. We do not have extra clothes for you. We need to save our money for important things. Come on, let's hurry to the store." + +Tom is sad. He does not understand why he can't have fun. He thinks his mom is mean. He walks slowly behind her. He sees other kids playing with toys and bikes. He wishes he had some too. + +They reach the store and buy some bread and milk. They walk back home. The rain starts to fall. Tom and his mom get wet. Tom feels cold and hungry. He says, "Mom, I'm sorry I was mad at you. I love you." + +His mom hugs him and says, "I love you too, Tom. I know it's hard to be poor. But we have each other. And we have hope. Maybe one day, things will get better." +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. But their favorite car is the yellow one. It is very expensive. Their dad gave it to them on their birthday. It can speed very fast and make loud noises. + +One day, they are playing with the yellow car in the yard. They take turns to drive it on the grass and the dirt. They pretend to be racers and chase each other. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they see a big elephant. The elephant is walking on the road. It has a long trunk and big ears. It looks very strong and hungry. Tom and Sam are scared. They think the elephant will eat their yellow car. + +"Quick, Sam, hide the car!" Tom says. + +"Where, Tom, where?" Sam asks. + +"Look, there is a big box. It is our mom's trunk. She puts her clothes in it. Let's put the car in the trunk. The elephant will not find it there." Tom says. + +They run to the trunk and open it. They put the yellow car inside and close it. They hope the elephant will not see it. + +They watch the elephant from behind a tree. The elephant stops near the trunk. It smells something. It uses its trunk to lift the trunk. It opens it and sees the yellow car. + +Tom and Sam are very worried. They think the elephant will take their car. They shout, "No, no, elephant, that is our car! Please, give it back!" + +But the elephant does not listen. It likes the yellow car. It thinks it is a toy. It puts the car in its mouth and chews it. It makes a crunching sound. + +Tom and Sam are very sad. They cry, "Oh, no, elephant, you broke our car! That was our favorite car! It was very expensive!" + +The elephant does not care. It swallows the car and walks away. It looks very happy. + +Tom and Sam are very angry. They want their car back. But they can do nothing. They go to their dad and tell him what happened. Their dad is very surprised. He does not believe them. He thinks they are making up a story. + +He says, "Elephant? What elephant? There are no elephants here. You must have lost your car. Or maybe you broke it yourself. You should be more careful with your things. They are very expensive." + +Tom and Sam are very frustrated. They know they are telling the truth. But no one believes them. They wish they had never seen the elephant. They wish they still had their yellow car. They miss it very much. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are bored. They do not know what to do. + +"Let's watch a film," Tom suggests. He has a new film about animals. He thinks Anna will like it. + +"OK," Anna says. She likes animals too. She hopes the film is fun. + +They go to Tom's house. Tom's mom is there. She is happy to see them. + +"Hello, Tom and Anna. Do you want to watch a film?" she asks. + +"Yes, please," they say. + +Tom's mom gives them some popcorn and juice. She puts the film in the player. She opens the curtains so they can see better. + +"Enjoy the film," she says. She leaves them alone. + +Tom and Anna sit on the couch. They hold their popcorn and juice. They are excited. + +The film starts. It is about a lion and a mouse. They are friends. They have adventures. They help each other. + +Tom and Anna laugh and gasp. They like the film. They think the lion and the mouse are brave and kind. + +They are happy. They are glad they watched the film. They thank Tom's mom. + +They decide to play lion and mouse. They roar and squeak. They run and hide. They have fun. + +They are not bored anymore. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck can make loud noises and move fast. They take turns to drive the truck in the yard. + +One day, the truck stops working. Anna and Ben are sad. They try to push the truck, but it does not move. They try to make noises, but the truck is quiet. They look at the truck and see a hole in one of the wheels. + +"Oh no, the truck is broken!" Anna says. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben says. + +They go to the garage and look for something to repair the truck. They find a band. A band is something you put on your skin when you have a boo-boo. They think the band can help the truck. + +They wrap the band around the wheel and try to cover the hole. They hope the band will make the wheel whole again. They push the truck, but it still does not move. They make noises, but the truck is still quiet. + +"The band does not work," Ben says. + +"Maybe we need something different," Anna says. + +They go back to the garage and look for something else. They find a roll of tape. Tape is something you use to stick things together. They think the tape can help the truck. + +They cut a piece of tape and stick it over the hole. They press the tape hard and hope it will stay. They push the truck, and it starts to move. They make noises, and the truck makes noises too. + +"The tape works!" Anna says. + +"Yay, we fixed the truck!" Ben says. + +They are happy. They drive the truck in the yard and have fun. They are proud of their repair. They love their truck, even if it looks a little different. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden when they saw a big car arrive. It was black and shiny and had a loud horn. A man got out of the car and opened the door for a lady. The lady was wearing a long red dress and a hat with feathers. She had a big bag in her hand. + +"Who are they?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are friends of Mom and Dad." + +The man and the lady walked to the door and rang the bell. Mom opened the door and smiled. She hugged the lady and shook the man's hand. + +"Hello, Aunt Rose and Uncle Jack!" Mom said. "Come in, come in. We have wine and cake for you." + +Lily and Ben ran to the door and looked at the visitors. They had never seen them before. They looked mysterious and fancy. + +"Hello, little ones," Aunt Rose said. "We are your mom's cousins. We came to visit you from far away." + +"Where is far away?" Lily asked. + +"It's a place with mountains and snow and bears," Uncle Jack said. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "Do you have a picture?" + +Aunt Rose opened her big bag and took out a book. It had many pictures of far away. She showed them to Lily and Ben. + +"Look, this is where we live. And this is our car. And this is a bear we saw on the road." + +Lily and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see more. They followed Aunt Rose and Uncle Jack to the living room, where Mom and Dad were waiting with wine and cake. They sat on the couch and looked at the book. They asked many questions and learned many things. They liked their new relatives. They were mysterious and nice. +Sara and Tom are going to grandma's house. They need to pack their bags. Sara puts her doll, her book and her hat in her bag. Tom puts his car, his ball and his cap in his bag. + +"Are we ready?" mom asks. + +"Yes, mom!" Sara and Tom say. + +They go to the car and put their bags in the trunk. Mom drives the car. Sara and Tom look out the window. They see trees, houses, cows and birds. They sing songs and play games. + +After a long time, they see grandma's house. It has a big wall around it. Grandma is waiting for them at the gate. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Hello, my darlings!" grandma says. "I'm so happy to see you!" + +"Hello, grandma!" Sara and Tom say. "We're happy to see you too!" + +They go inside the house. Grandma has cookies and milk for them. They eat and drink and tell grandma about their trip. They have a lot of fun at grandma's house. +Sara loved to play in the garden with her mom. She liked to see the flowers bloom in different colors. She wanted to learn the names of all the flowers, but some were hard to say. + +One day, she saw a big yellow flower with many petals. She asked her mom, "What is this flower called, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "This is a sunflower, Sara. It is called a sunflower because it looks like the sun and it follows the sun in the sky." + +Sara repeated the word, "Sunflower, sunflower, sunflower." She was happy to learn a new word. She wanted to be successful like her mom, who knew many words. + +She ran to the other flowers and tried to say their names. She said, "Rose, daisy, tulip, lily, poppy." She felt proud of herself. She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, I know many words now. I am successful, right?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Yes, Sara, you are very successful. You are a smart and curious girl. I love you very much." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the village. The village is cheerful. There are many flowers and animals. Sara and Ben have fun with the flowers and animals. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a big truck. The truck is loud and fast. It makes smoke and dust. The truck goes to the village. Sara and Ben are scared. They run to the village. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" they shout to the truck. "You are making the village dirty and sad. You are scaring the flowers and animals. You are not nice." + +The truck does not stop. It keeps going to the village. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They want to help the village. + +They see a big rock. The rock is heavy and hard. They push the rock to the road. The rock blocks the road. The truck cannot go to the village. The truck has to stop. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Sara and Ben laugh. "We stopped the truck. We saved the village. We are brave and smart." + +The flowers and animals are happy. They thank Sara and Ben. They give them hugs and kisses. The village is cheerful again. Sara and Ben are happy. They play in the village. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big green avocado on a tree. They both wanted to eat it, but they did not know how to share it. + +"I saw it first!" Anna said. "It is mine!" + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben said. "It is mine!" + +They started to pull the avocado, but it was too hard. It fell down and broke in half. The inside was brown and yucky. + +"Yuck!" Anna said. "This avocado is bad!" + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "This avocado is bad!" + +They threw the avocado away and looked at each other. They were both sad and angry. + +"I don't want to play with you anymore!" Anna said. "You are mean!" + +"I don't want to play with you anymore!" Ben said. "You are mean!" + +They ran away to different parts of the garden. They did not talk to each other for a long time. + +But then, they both felt lonely. They missed their friend. They wanted to play again. + +Anna saw a hidden flower behind a bush. It was pink and pretty. She picked it and thought of Ben. + +Ben saw a hidden bug under a rock. It was shiny and funny. He caught it and thought of Anna. + +They both walked to the middle of the garden. They saw each other and smiled. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +They hugged and said sorry. They gave each other their gifts. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben said. "This flower is beautiful!" + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna said. "This bug is cool!" + +They laughed and played together. They were happy again. + +They learned that avocado is not always good, but friendship is always good. They learned to share and forgive. They were good friends. +Tom and Anna went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom wanted to feed the ducks, but Anna wanted to play with the water. She took off her shoes and ran to the edge of the pond. + +"Anna, be careful!" Mom said. "Don't go too close to the water. You might fall in." + +But Anna did not listen. She saw a big stick and picked it up. She swung it in the air and hit the water. Splash! Splash! Splash! She made big waves and laughed. + +"Look, Mom, look!" she shouted. "I can make the water dance!" + +Tom was not happy. He did not like the water. He thought it was cold and wet and ugly. He wanted to stay dry and warm. He put on his hat and his coat and his buckle. He did not want to get wet. + +"Anna, stop it!" he said. "You are making the water angry. It will splash you back and make you wet and cold and ugly. Come here and feed the ducks with me. They are nice and soft and pretty." + +But Anna did not stop. She liked the water. She thought it was fun and cool and pretty. She wanted to make more waves and more splash. She threw the stick and jumped in the water. Splash! Splash! Splash! She made bigger waves and laughed louder. + +"Look, Tom, look!" she shouted. "I can swim with the fish and the ducks! They are my friends. Come here and play with me. It is fun and cool and pretty." + +But Tom did not come. He was scared. He did not want to swim with the fish and the ducks. He thought they were mean and slimy and ugly. He wanted to stay away from them. He ran to Mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, help!" he cried. "Anna is in the water with the fish and the ducks! They are not her friends. They are mean and slimy and ugly. They will bite her and pull her down and make her wet and cold and ugly. Get her out, Mom, get her out!" + +Mom was worried. She did not want Anna to be in the water with the fish and the ducks. She did not know if they were mean or slimy or ugly. She did not know if they would bite her or pull her down or make her wet or cold or ugly. She wanted Anna to be safe and dry and warm and pretty. She ran to the edge of the pond and called her. + +"Anna, come out!" she said. "You have played enough with the water. It is time to go home. You are wet and cold and dirty. You need a bath and a towel and a hug. Come out, Anna, come out!" + +But Anna did not come out. She was happy. She did not care if she was wet or cold or dirty. She did not need a bath or a towel or a hug. She had the water and the fish and the ducks. She had fun and cool and pretty. She wanted to play more with the water. She splashed and laughed and shouted. + +"Look, Mom, look!" she said. "I am a fish! I am a duck! I am wet and cold and pretty. I don't want to go home. I want to stay here with the water. It is my friend. It is fun and cool and pretty. Splash! Splash! Splash!" +Dan and Sue are husband and wife. They love each other very much. But today, Dan feels terrible. He has a big ache in his head and his nose is runny. He does not want to get out of bed. + +Sue is worried about Dan. She wants to help him feel better. She brings him a cup of water and a soft blanket. She says, "Dan, I am sorry you feel terrible. Do you want some soup? It will make you warm and cozy." + +Dan smiles weakly at Sue. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good wife. I love you. But I do not want soup. I just want to sleep. Maybe I will feel better tomorrow." + +Sue kisses Dan on the forehead. She says, "OK, Dan. You sleep. I will be here if you need me. I love you too." She turns off the light and sits by the bed. She hopes Dan will feel better soon. She does not like to see him sick. She thinks he is the best husband in the world. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the farm. They run and jump and laugh. They see the wheat. The wheat is yellow and soft. They touch the wheat with their hands. + +"Let's speak to the wheat," Tom says. He bends down and whispers to the wheat. "Hello, wheat. How are you today? Do you like the sun and the wind?" + +Lily giggles. She thinks Tom is funny and playful. She bends down and whispers to the wheat too. "Hi, wheat. You are very pretty. Do you have any secrets to tell us?" + +The wheat does not answer. It only sways in the breeze. Tom and Lily pretend the wheat is speaking to them. They make up stories and jokes. They have fun with the wheat. + +The farmer sees Tom and Lily. He smiles. He likes to see the children happy. He calls them. "Tom, Lily, come here. I have something for you." + +Tom and Lily run to the farmer. He gives them each a slice of bread. The bread is warm and sweet. It is made from the wheat. + +"Thank you, farmer," Tom and Lily say. They eat the bread. It is delicious. They think of the wheat. They say thank you to the wheat too. They are grateful and polite. They love the farm and the wheat. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were explorers and look for hidden things. They moved the sofa, the table, and the chairs, but they did not find anything. + +"Maybe there is something under the carpet," Ben said. He lifted a corner of the carpet and saw a hole in the floor. "Look, Anna, a hole!" + +Anna ran to see the hole. It was dark and mysterious. She wondered what was inside. "Let's grab a flashlight and see," she said. + +They grabbed a flashlight from the kitchen and went back to the hole. They turned on the flashlight and shone it into the hole. They saw a wooden box with a lock. "Wow, a box!" Anna said. "Maybe there is treasure inside." + +"Let's try to open it," Ben said. He grabbed the box and pulled it out of the hole. It was heavy and dusty. He tried to open the lock, but it was stuck. "We need a key," he said. + +"Maybe the key is somewhere in the living room," Anna said. "Let's look for it." + +They looked for the key under the sofa, the table, and the chairs, but they did not find it. They looked for the key behind the curtains, the books, and the pillows, but they did not find it. They looked for the key everywhere, but they did not find it. + +"Where is the key?" Ben asked. He was sad and frustrated. He wanted to open the box and see the treasure. + +"Maybe the key is in the kitchen," Anna said. She had an idea. "Maybe the key is in the cookie jar." + +They ran to the kitchen and grabbed the cookie jar. They opened it and saw a shiny key. "We found it!" Anna said. She was happy and excited. She grabbed the key and ran to the living room. + +They put the key in the lock and turned it. The lock clicked and the box opened. They looked inside and saw a lot of shiny things. They saw coins, jewels, and medals. They saw a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet. They saw a picture, a letter, and a map. + +They gasped and smiled. They had found the treasure. They wondered who it belonged to and where it came from. They wanted to know more about the mysterious box and the hole in the floor. They decided to ask their mom and dad when they came home. They hoped they would tell them a story. They put the treasure back in the box and closed it. They put the box back in the hole and covered it with the carpet. They moved the sofa, the table, and the chairs back to their places. They waited for their mom and dad to come home. They had a lot to tell them. They had a lot to ask them. They had a lot of fun. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the beach with their mom and dad. They saw the big, blue ocean and wanted to play in it. + +"Look, Mia, there are shells and rocks and sand!" Ben said, picking up a shiny shell. + +"Wow, Ben, they are pretty!" Mia said, examining the shell in her hand. "Can we keep them?" + +"Sure, we can make a collection!" Ben said, putting the shell in his bucket. + +They ran along the shore, finding more shells and rocks and sand. They also saw some crabs and fish and birds. They were having fun. + +But then, they saw something else. It was big and gray and had a long nose. It was making loud noises and spraying water. + +"What is that, Ben?" Mia asked, feeling shy and scared. + +"I don't know, Mia. It looks like a big fish, but different," Ben said, feeling shy and scared too. + +They wanted to examine it, but they also wanted to stay away from it. They looked at their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. + +"Mom, Dad, what is that?" they asked, pointing at the big, gray thing. + +"That is a dolphin, Mia and Ben," their mom said, smiling. "It is a friendly animal that lives in the ocean. It likes to play and talk with other dolphins." + +"A dolphin?" Mia and Ben repeated, feeling curious and amazed. + +"Yes, a dolphin. Do you want to go closer and see it?" their dad asked, holding their hands. + +Mia and Ben nodded, feeling brave and excited. They followed their dad to the water, where the dolphin was swimming. The dolphin saw them and made a happy noise. It came closer and looked at them with its big eyes. + +"Hello, dolphin!" Mia and Ben said, waving at it. + +The dolphin waved back with its tail and smiled. It was not shy at all. It wanted to play with them. + +Mia and Ben smiled too. They had made a new friend. They played with the dolphin in the ocean, and forgot to be shy. They had a wonderful day at the beach. +Lily and Ben like to play with their crayons. They have many colors and they make marks on paper. Sometimes they make marks on the wall, too. But Mom does not like that. She says, "No, no, no! Only mark on paper, not on the wall!" + +One day, Lily and Ben find a new thing to mark on. It is a prune. A prune is a small, dark, wrinkly fruit. Mom gives them prunes for a snack. They are sweet and chewy. Lily and Ben each take a prune and a crayon. They start to mark on the prunes. They make faces and patterns and letters.

She yawned wide and rubbed her eyes. + +Her mother smiled and said, "It's getting late. Why don't we sit down for a snack?" She brought out a plate of cheese and crackers. + +Emma smiled. Cheese was one of her favorite snacks! She quickly ate two pieces of cheese and one cracker. + +Munching on her snack, she said "That was easy!" + +Her father laughed. "Yes, it was very easy. Now let's get you home to bed so you can take a nap." + +Emma yawned and said, "OK. I feel very sleepy. Let's go home now." + +And so the family set off for home, leaving the forest behind. +Once there was a little girl named Rose. One day, she went outside and saw a funny looking car. The car was going backwards and Rose was curious. + +She asked her daddy, "Why is that car going backwards?" + +Her Daddy said, "That is called reversing. The driver is trying to go back the other way." + +Rose scratched her head with an itchy finger. "Why?" + +"Because he might be impatient and have to turn around quickly," her dad said. + +Rose was confused, but proud that she had learned something new. She watched the car go back the other way, and waved goodbye to the driver. +One day, Mommy and her little girl, Mary, were sitting on a bench in the park. Mary saw a bird flying over the trees and she said, "Mommy, look! A bird!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, that is a bird!" + +But then Mary looked worried. She said, "What if the bird is too tired to fly? What if it needs to nap?" + +Mommy looked up at the bird flying above the trees. "Well, I don`t think the bird looks too tired." + +Mary smiled. But then it started to get a bit chilly and Mommy was worried about Mary getting cold. So she said, "Maybe it`s time for you to have a nap! What do you think?" + +Mary thought for a minute and then said, "Okay, Mommy." So Mommy and Mary cuddled up together on the bench, and Mary took a nice long nap. +There were two friends, Joe and Jane. Joe had a gray bone that he found and he was so happy. He asked Jane, "Do you want to play with it?!" Jane got so excited and said "Yes, let's play!" + +They decided to do a special game with the gray bone. As they played they made the gray bone glow.

But we can't keep it because it's very sharp, so be careful." + +Anna nodded and put the screw back on the ground. As she was walking towards her swing, her mom said, "Anna, don't forget to be kind when you play with your friends." + +Anna smiled. She knew what her mom meant. She would always remind her friends to be nice and share. + +That's when a boy named Jack came running up to Anna. He was being very rude, pushing aside Anna's friends and taking their toys. Anna stepped in front of Jack and said, "Hey, you need to be nice. Don't forget that." + +Jack stopped and looked embarrassed. "Sorry," he said quietly. + +Anna smiled.

She asked her parents, "Can I make one?" + +Her parents laughed, and said, "No, with that kind of smoke, nature has to make it." + +But Jane was happy to learn all about clouds.

And they all lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time there was an original bunny. They wanted something new to do. So, they decided to visit their friend, Bear. They hopped to Bear's cave and peeked inside. + +"Hello!" said the Bunny. +"Hello!" Bear replied. +"I wanted to visit you," the Bunny said. +Bear smiled. "What do you want to do? We can do anything you want." + +Bunny thought for a moment. Then, they said, "Let's play hide-and-seek!" So, Bear hid and the Bunny counted to 10. When Bunny opened their eyes, they couldn't find Bear. + +Bunny followed the sound of Bear's laughter and found them hiding behind a big rock. "Where's your tail?" Bunny said when they saw Bear without a tail. + +"Oh," Bear said, "I left my tail at home. Let's go visit my home so you can see my original tail!" + +So, the Bunny and Bear hopped to Bear's home. The bunny saw Bear's tail and thought it was very nice. They all had fun together and the Bunny was happy they got to visit and see Bear's original tail. +Once upon a time, there was a happy little girl. She liked to find fun things to do. One day, she found a special orange picture. She thought it was pretty, so she wanted to show it to her mom. She asked her mom if she could take the picture. + +The mom said, "Yes, you may have the picture. But before you take it away, let me take a picture of you with it." + +The little girl said, "Okay!" She smiled wide and then the mom took the picture. + +The picture made the little girl very happy! She thanked her mom for permitting her to take the pretty orange picture away. + +The little girl held the picture close as she walked away. She knew she would always remember the special orange picture. +One day, a mommy took her ancient car for a ride. Her 3 year old child was along for the adventure. They drove down a dirt road until they reached a patch of pretty flowers. + +"Mommy, look!" the child said, pointing to the flowers. Mama smiled and said, "Let's pick some of these flowers and take them home." + +So they picked the flowers and put them in the car. But as they drove away, the child started to sneeze. + +"Are you okay?" Mama asked, "Do you want to stop for a break?" + +The child shook their head. But their sneezing kept getting worse. + +Mama said, "I think we need to pull over. There's an urge to take care of you." + +So Mama parked the car and massaged the child's back. She even wiped their noses until the child finally stopped sneezing. + +Soon, the child was feeling better and they were back on their journey. Mama smiled and said, "See, that was better!" + +The ancient car drove away, taking the child and Mama further down the dirt road. +Tommy was in the park with his dad. Tommy watched a big truck. It was yellow and had its cargo box open. + +"What's that truck dad?" Tommy asked. + +"It's loading," his dad told him. + +Tommy watched as the truck driver put boxes into the back of the truck. Then, the truck driver shut the cargo box and drove away. + +Tommy and his dad walked back home. Along the way, they had to stop because there was a lot of traffic. + +"Why is the traffic so slow dad?" Tommy asked. + +"There are too many cars on the road, so it takes longer for them to get where they are going," his dad explained. + +Tommy and his dad finally made it home. That night, Tommy couldn't help but think about the big yellow truck he had seen and the slow traffic. +Andy was painting in the garage. He was three years old, but he remembered his mommy giving him the paintbrush and inviting him to paint there. + +He looked up at the tall shelves. He saw blue paint, green paint and many other colours. He mixed the paints to make the most beautiful colours he could think of. + +Andy felt very happy, painting and singing like only a three year old can. Then, he had an idea. + +“Mommy, can I paint the wall?†he called out. + +The mommy stepped into the garage. “Yes, you can. But remember to stay within the lines,†she said, smiling. + +Andy was so excited! He painted the wall until it was full of beautiful, colourful shapes and lines. When he was done, he stepped away and admired his work. + +“I did it!†he exclaimed, proudly, to his mommy. + +“Yes, you did,†the mommy replied. “It looks great!†+Once upon a time, there was a mole who lived on the edge of a forest. He loved to play in the dirt and dig little tunnels. One day, the mole was playing in the dirt when he heard a loud "shut!" He looked up to see a bossy bird perched on a branch. + +The bird said, "Don't you know you need to be more quiet? You need to shut!" + +The mole dropped his shovel and said, "But why? I'm only playing!" + +The bird replied, "You need to shut because I need peace and quiet! I am bossy and what I say, goes!" + +The mole was very unhappy, but he had no choice. He took one last look at the dirt, then shut his mouth and ran away. From then on, he stayed away from the bird and played in a quieter part of the forest. +Once upon a time, there was a poor cat who lived in a big city. The cat was always looking for food and friends, but no one ever said welcome. One day, the cat heard a loud noise and looked up. What a surprise! A big red car was zooming around a corner and it stopped right in front of him. The driver opened the car door and said, "Welcome! Would you like a ride?" + +The cat was so excited. He jumped right into the car and they zoomed off down the street. They drove all over the city and the cat made lots of new friends. Everywhere they went, people said "welcome" and smiled. + +The cat had never felt happier.

Everyone was always so welcoming! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Mary and John. Mary was very bossy and John often felt anxious around her. + +One day, Mary wanted to clean up the room but noticed that John was playing with a toy on the floor. She said to him in a bossy voice, "John, can you please put away your toys on the bookcase?" John didn't want to but he was scared of Mary so he asked her, "Why do I need to put away my toys?" + +Mary got angry at John's question and said, "Because I'm the boss and I said so. Now do it!" John was very unhappy and argued back, "No! I don't want to." + +Mary thought for a moment and then came up with a compromise. She said to John, "Ok, how about if you put away half of your toys in the bookcase and keep the other half on the floor. Would that be ok?" + +John thought about it and said, "Yes, I like that idea." + +So they both worked together to put away John's toys and eventually all the toys were cleaned up. Mary and John went out to play and love each other like best friends do. +Once upon a time, there lived a great girl. Her name was Annabelle. One day, Annabelle was walking in the forest when she spotted a trap. + +"What's this?" she said. + +Annabelle was very brave and decided to take a closer look.

A secret flower for me!" + +Every day, Annabelle would go to the same spot in the forest and watch the flower grow bigger and bigger. Eventually, the flower became so big, Annabelle could no longer see the trap underneath. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a bear. The bear was very sleepy and wanted to rest. He sat under a tree and said, "I'm so tired, I want to take a nap." + +The bear snuggled into the grass and was just about to fall asleep when he heard a voice. It was a bird. "What are you doing?" asked the bird. + +The bear stretched and said, "I'm taking a nap. I'm so bored and I need to rest." + +The bird smiled and sang, "Why don't you come and play?" + +The bear shook his head and said, "No, I really need to rest. Maybe later." + +The bear closed his eyes and soon he was snoring softly. The bird flew away and the bear had a cozy nap.

They quickly realised that the video had given them a solution to their problem. + +Amy and Joe quickly found the vase and sorted all the flowers into it. They were very pleased with what they had done. + +The moral of the story is that when you don’t know what to do, it’s a good idea to think about alternative solutions like watching a video.

He was wearing a funny hat and had a thumb up in the air - he was whistling! + +Frank walked over to the old man and asked why he was whistling. The old man said, "I'm whistling a song that I used to know when I was your age. It brings back happy memories of my youth." + +Frank asked if he could learn the song and the old man agreed. He showed him how to put a thumb up in the air and whistle the tune. + +Frank practiced and practiced, but it was hard to learn the song. He almost became discouraged, but he kept on trying.

Maybe it’s easier to bite.†+ +So they both went to the bathroom and tried to bite the new toilet. Molly bit the toilet, but it was still too hard! She couldn't bite it. + +Frustrated, Molly said, “Oh, I guess I can't bite the toilet!†+ +Billy smiled and said, “I think it’s best not to try biting the toilet. It’s too hard!†+ +Molly agreed and they both decided it was better to find something else to play with instead. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. One day she was playing in the park when she spotted something white in the grass. She leaned down to look closer and saw that it was a finger! She quickly picked it up and hid it in her pocket. + +Then Jane saw a little rabbit hop across the path. She wanted to catch it, so she chased after it. The rabbit hopped faster and faster until it hopped into a hole in the ground. She tried to reach in and grab it, but the hole was too small for her hand. + +She felt disappointed until she remembered the finger! She put her hand in her pocket, and there it was.

The little girl waved goodbye to her mom, who was watching her smile with pride. She knew the little girl had had the best birthday ever! +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Billy.

"Maybe if we throw some breadcrumbs, the pigeon will come back," the little girl suggested. The children gathered some breadcrumbs and waited. Eventually, the little pigeon flew back and the children were so excited. + +But when they got closer, the little boy said, "Let's do something else. Let's not catch the pigeon. We can't keep it, and it would be wrong to hurt it." The little girl smiled and agreed. She said, "Let's ask the pigeon to stay and play with us instead. We don't need to destroy it." + +The little boy and the little girl waved their hands and said, "Come and play with us, little pigeon!" The little pigeon flew around and around in joy. The two children laughed and smiled and felt very proud of themselves. + +The moral of the story is that destroying something can bring sadness, but when we show kindness, it can bring joy. +One day, Freya and her mum went to the park.

He was always very curious and wanted to learn more and more. One day he asked his mama, "Mama, what is impressive?" + +Mama smiled and said, "Well, pig, something that is impressive is something that is very special. It can be something big or something small, but it is always something special." + +The pig thought hard and said, "Can you explain it more?" + +Mama said "Sure, pig. Something impressive can be something that is new, like a toy that you've never seen before, or something brave and courageous like when someone helps someone else. It can be something that is clever or creative, like a great invention." + +The little pig smiled and said, "That's impressive!" +Once upon a time, there was an ugly monster in the forest.

The little girl didn't believe her, so mom said, "You can think of it as a person talking but too far away for us to hear clearly." + +The little girl was still curious. She asked her mom why the voice was so weak. Mom said, "It is because the person talking is far away."

Then the flame spoke in a gentle voice, “Remember, it’s always better to stay calm than to burn with anger.†+ +After that, the woman always remembered the fire’s advice. Whenever she felt her anger rising, she would take a few deep breaths and stay calm instead. + +The moral of the story is that anger can quickly get out of control like a burning flame, so it’s important to try and stay calm. +One day, Jack and his Mommy went on an adventure.
