He realized that the voice had been trying to store food for the animals and keep them fed. + +The turkey was so proud of himself for doing the right thing by shutting the door and helping the animals.

As she was looking around, Tia noticed a big black box in the corner of the hill. She decided to take a closer look, so she walked over and opened the box. To her surprise, inside was a magical crystal ball. + +Tia was so mesmerized by the crystal ball that she couldn't resist the urge to touch it. As soon as she did, a mysterious voice filled her head.

When he turned around, he saw the thief. + +The thief said "I'm sorry I took your measuring stick, old man." The old man was surprised, he didn't think the thief would apologize.

Just remember that it's always wrong to take what doesn't belong to you." + +The moral of this story is that it's never OK to take things that don't belong to you, no matter what.

It hurts their hands. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cry. + +They let go of the ball. The ball rolls away. + +"Look what you did!" Anna says. + +"It is your fault!" Ben says. + +They are angry. They do not want to play together. + +A lady sees them. She is nice. She has a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. + +"Hello, children. Why are you sad?" she asks. + +"We found a ball, but it was hot and we lost it. And he/she is mean!" Anna and Ben say. + +The lady smiles. She says, "The ball is not a toy. It is a balloon. It is filled with air. The sun makes the air hot. The hot air makes the balloon big and tight. If you pull it too hard, it will pop. That is not fun." + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They did not know that. + +"Can we see your dog?" they ask. + +"Sure. His name is Spot. He is friendly. He likes to play fetch. Do you want to try?" the lady says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They forget about the ball. They learn how to throw a stick for Spot. Spot runs and brings it back. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They are happy. They say thank you to the lady and Spot. They hug each other. They are friends again. They learn to share and be kind. +Sara and Ben like to play in the sand pit. They have many toys to dig and build with. They are busy making a big castle with a moat and a bridge. They are happy and have fun. + +"Look, Sara, I made a flag for our castle!" Ben says. He sticks a stick with a paper on it in the sand. "It says 'Sara and Ben's Castle'. Do you like it?" + +"I like it very much, Ben. You are good at writing," Sara says. She smiles and claps her hands. "Let's make some more flags for the other towers." + +They make more flags and put them on the castle. They are proud of their work. They do not see a big dog coming to the pit. The dog is curious and likes to dig. He sees the flags and thinks they are toys. He runs to the pit and starts to pull the flags with his teeth. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouts. He runs to the dog and tries to take the flags back. "Those are our flags! Go away!" + +The dog does not listen. He growls and shakes his head. He thinks Ben is playing with him. He pulls harder and makes the castle fall. The sand goes everywhere. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and yell at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog! You ruined our castle!" Sara says. She throws sand at the dog. "Go away! Leave us alone!" + +The dog does not like the sand in his eyes. He barks and runs away. He looks for another place to play. Sara and Ben hug each other. They are sorry for their castle. They decide to make a new one. They are busy again. They hope the dog will not come back. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and made pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She drew on paper, on cardboard and sometimes on the wall. Her mom did not like it when she drew on the wall. She said it was bad and made the wall dirty. + +One day, Lily found a new place to draw. It was a big white board in her dad's office. She thought it was like a big paper that she could erase. She took her crayons and started to draw a big rainbow. She was very happy and proud of her rainbow. + +But she did not know that the white board was not for drawing. It was for her dad's work. He used it to write messages and notes for his projects. He had an important meeting that day and he needed the board to show his ideas. He was very busy and did not see what Lily was doing. + +When he came to his office, he saw the rainbow on the board. He was very angry and sad. He said to Lily, "What did you do? You ruined my work! You have to quit drawing on the board! This is not for you! This is for me! How can I erase this? How can I explain this to my boss?" + +Lily was very scared and sorry. She did not mean to make her dad mad. She did not know that the board was for his work. She thought it was for fun. She said to her dad, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to make you a pretty picture. I like to draw. I didn't know you needed the board. Can I help you fix it?" + +Her dad calmed down and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I know you like to draw and you wanted to make me happy. But you have to be careful where you draw. Some things are not for drawing. They are for other purposes. You have to ask me first if you can use something. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, dad. I will ask you next time. I love you, dad." + +Her dad said, "I love you, too, Lily. Now, let's see if we can erase the board. Do you have a cloth or a sponge?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I have a sponge. It's in the bathroom. I can get it for you." + +Her dad said, "Thank you, Lily. That would be very helpful. Maybe we can still save the board and my work. And maybe we can find another place for you to draw. A place that is available and safe for you. How about that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, dad. That sounds good. Let's go get the sponge." +Sara and Ben are playing with pins. They like to make shapes and pictures with them on a big board. Sara has a lot of pins, but Ben only has a few. Ben wants more pins, but Sara does not want to share. + +"Give me some pins, Sara!" Ben says. + +"No, they are mine!" Sara says. + +"Please, Sara, I need more pins!" Ben says. + +"No, no, no!" Sara says. + +Ben is angry. He sees a bell on the table. He has an idea. He grabs the bell and runs to Sara. He rings the bell very loud in Sara's ear. Sara is scared and hurt. She drops all her pins on the floor. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cries. + +Ben laughs. He thinks he is funny. He tries to pick up the pins, but he steps on one. It hurts his foot. He cries too. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben crying and the pins everywhere. She is angry and sad. + +"What did you do?" Mom asks. + +"Ben rang the bell in my ear and made me drop the pins!" Sara says. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Mom asks. + +"I wanted more pins!" Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up the bell and the pins. She puts them away. She says they cannot play with them anymore. She says they have to say sorry to each other and go to their rooms. Sara and Ben are sorry, but it is too late. They have no pins and no fun. They have a bad day. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the barn. The barn is big and old. It has many things inside. Some things are good, like hay and tools. Some things are bad, like nails and spiders. + +One day, Ben and Sam find a big log in the barn. They want to split the log. They think it will be fun. They look for a tool to split the log. They see an axe. The axe is sharp and heavy. Ben says, "I want to use the axe. I am older and stronger." Sam says, "No, I want to use the axe. I am smarter and faster." They start to fight over the axe. They pull and tug and shout. + +The axe is too big for them. They lose their balance. They fall to the ground. The axe flies out of their hands. It hits the wall of the barn. The wall is weak and old. It breaks and falls. The log rolls out of the barn. It hits a fence. The fence breaks and falls. The cows in the field see the fence fall. They run out of the field. They moo and run. + +Ben and Sam are scared. They hear the noise and see the mess. They see the cows run away. They say, "Oh no! What have we done?" They run out of the barn. They look for their dad. They hope he is not angry. They hope he can fix the barn and the fence and the cows. + +Their dad is in the house. He hears the noise and sees the mess. He sees the barn and the fence and the cows. He sees Ben and Sam. They look sad and sorry. They say, "Dad, we are sorry. We wanted to split the log. We fought over the axe. We broke the barn and the fence and the cows." Their dad is not angry. He is glad they are not hurt. He says, "It's okay, boys. You made a mistake. You learned a lesson. You should not fight over things. You should share and help each other. You should be careful with tools. You should not play in the barn. The barn is not safe. It is old and weak. It needs to be fixed or replaced. Come, let's go and fix the barn and the fence and the cows. And let's find a better place to play." + +Ben and Sam nod and hug their dad. They say, "Thank you, dad. We are sorry. We love you. We will help you. We will not fight. We will not play in the barn. We will find a better place to play. Maybe we can play with the cows. They are silly and fun." Their dad smiles and hugs them back. He says, "You are welcome, boys. I love you too. You are silly and fun too. But you are also good and smart. Come on, let's go and fix the mess. And then we can play with the cows." They walk together to the barn. They see the log. They laugh and say, "Maybe we can split the log later. But not with the axe. Maybe with a saw. Or maybe with our hands. Or maybe we can leave it alone. It is a good log. It is big and strong. It is not silly and weak like the barn." They laugh and walk and work and play. They are happy. +Tom and Jen are big kids. They help Mom with grocery. Mom gives them a bag each. Tom has apples and Jen has eggs. + +They walk home with Mom. They see a dog. The dog is big and loud. It runs to them. It wants to play. + +"Go away, dog!" Mom says. "You are crazy!" + +But the dog does not listen. It jumps on Tom. Tom is scared. He drops his bag. The apples roll on the street. + +"Tom, no!" Jen says. She tries to help Tom. She drops her bag too. The eggs break on the sidewalk. + +Mom is angry. She shouts at the dog. She picks up Tom and Jen. She leaves the grocery. + +They go home. They have no grocery. They have no dinner. They are hungry and sad. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a pink bunny that she loved very much. Tom had a blue car that he liked to zoom around. + +"Look at my bunny, Tom!" Lily said. "She can hop and wiggle her nose. She is very soft and cuddly." + +"Look at my car, Lily!" Tom said. "It can go fast and make loud sounds. It is very shiny and cool." + +They showed each other their toys and smiled. They were happy to share and play together. + +But then, Tom saw something on the shelf. It was a shiny red ball that belonged to their big brother. Tom wanted to play with it. He thought it looked more fun than his car. He was very naughty and did not ask. He climbed on the sofa and reached for the ball. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked. "That is not your ball. That is brother's ball. He will be angry if you take it." + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the ball and jumped off the sofa. He threw the ball in the air and caught it. He laughed and ran around the room. + +"Tom, stop it!" Lily said. "Give the ball back. You are being bad." + +Tom did not stop. He threw the ball harder and higher. He did not see where it was going. He did not see the window. He did not hear the glass break. + +The ball flew out of the window and disappeared. Tom was shocked. He dropped his car and ran to the window. He looked outside and saw the ball rolling away on the street. He could not get it back. + +"Tom, what have you done?" Lily said. "You broke the window. You lost the ball. You are in big trouble." + +Tom felt very sorry. He wished he had not been naughty. He wished he had played with his car. He wished he had listened to Lily. + +He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, brother. I'm sorry, mommy and daddy. I made a big mistake. I will never do it again." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to everyone else too. And you have to help clean up the mess. And you have to remember this. Do not be naughty again." + +Tom nodded and said, "I will, Lily. I will. I will remember this. This is a bad memory. I do not want to make it again." +Ben and Mia like to go to the park with Mom. They observe many things in the park. They see birds, flowers, trees, and people. Some people jog on the path. They run fast and wear sneakers. + +One day, Ben and Mia see a boy with a red ball. He throws the ball high and catches it. Ben and Mia want to play with the ball too. They ask the boy if they can join him. + +"Can we play with your ball?" Ben says. + +"Sure, you can play with my ball. But you have to take turns," the boy says. + +"OK, we will take turns. Thank you for sharing your ball," Mia says. + +The boy, Ben, and Mia play with the ball. They throw it, catch it, and roll it. They have fun and laugh. They are fair and let each other have a turn. Mom observes them and smiles. She is happy that they are making friends and being nice. +Anna and Ben love to watch movies with popcorn. They always ask Mom to make popcorn for them. Mom says yes, but they have to clean their room first. Anna and Ben do not like to clean their room. They have many toys and books and clothes on the floor. They think cleaning is boring. + +One day, Mom has a surprise for them. She says she has a new movie and a new kind of popcorn. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the movie and try the popcorn. They agree to clean their room quickly. They put their toys and books and clothes in the right places. They help each other and make it fun. They sing and laugh and pretend to be pirates and princesses. + +When they finish, they run to the living room. Mom is waiting for them with a big bowl of popcorn. She smiles and says, "Good job, Anna and Ben! You cleaned your room very well. Now you can enjoy the movie and the popcorn. But this is not ordinary popcorn. This is jolly popcorn. It has different colors and flavors. Some are sweet, some are salty, some are sour, some are spicy. You have to guess what flavor you get. Are you ready?" + +Anna and Ben are excited. They say, "Yes, Mom, we are ready! Thank you for the surprise. This is the best popcorn ever!" They sit on the couch and grab some popcorn. They put it in their mouths and make funny faces. They say, "Mmm, this is cherry. Yuck, this is vinegar. Wow, this is cheese. Ouch, this is chili." They giggle and share their popcorn. They watch the movie and have a lot of fun. They think cleaning is not so bad after all. They are happy and jolly. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big box in the yard. It had many colors and pictures on it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. He ran to the box and pulled on a strip of tape. The tape was sticky and hard to pull. + +"Be careful!" Sam said. He was scared of the box. He thought it might have something bad inside. "Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad first." + +"No, it's fun!" Tom said. He encouraged Sam to come and help him. "Don't be boring. It's a surprise!" + +Sam did not want to be boring. He wanted to be fun like Tom. He went to the box and pulled on another strip of tape. The box made a loud noise. It was not a good noise. It was a scary noise. + +"Run!" Tom shouted. He dropped the tape and ran away. Sam tried to run too, but he was too late. The box exploded. It had fireworks inside. The fireworks were not for kids. They were for grown-ups. They were dangerous. + +The fireworks hurt Sam. They burned his skin and his clothes. He screamed and cried. Tom was sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sam. He wanted to have fun. He did not know the box was bad. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and the scream. They came to the yard and saw the fire and the smoke. They saw Sam on the ground. They were angry and sad. They called for help. They took Sam to the hospital. They said Tom was bad. They said he could not play with Sam anymore. + +Tom was sad too. He lost his friend. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had asked Mom or Dad. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that some surprises are not fun. They are bad. He learned that some fun is not worth it. It is dangerous. He learned that sometimes boring is better. It is safe. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. He sees the ball and the kite. He wants to have them. He runs to Sara and Tom. He barks and growls. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They try to get their ball and kite. But the dog is faster and stronger. He bites the ball and tears the kite. He does not let Sara and Tom have them. + +Sara and Tom cry. They are sad and angry. They want their ball and kite back. They say to the dog: "Bad dog! Go away! Give us our ball and kite!" + +But the dog does not listen. He does not care. He has a smile. He thinks he is clever. He runs away with the ball and the kite. He leaves Sara and Tom alone. + +Sara and Tom have no ball and no kite. They have no fun. They have a little hope. Maybe they can find another ball and kite. Maybe they can make new friends. Maybe they can be happy again. +Sara liked to watch the parade. She saw big cars and trucks with flags and flowers. She saw people in funny clothes and hats. She saw animals and clowns and balloons. She clapped her hands and smiled. + +She wanted to touch the balloons. They were red and blue and yellow and green. They looked soft and round. She asked her mom, "Can I have a balloon, please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Sara. The balloons are not for us. They are for the parade. And they are not soft. They are sharp. If you touch them, they will pop and make a loud noise. That will scare you and the animals and the clowns. You don't want that, do you?" + +Sara said, "No, I don't want that. I don't want to scare anyone. I don't want to pop the balloons. I will just look at them." + +She looked at the balloons. They were still pretty. But they were not as fun as she thought. They were dull. She wished she had a balloon that was soft and round and not sharp. She wished she had a balloon that was for her. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big toy elephant in the park. It was gray and soft and had a long nose. Lily and Ben both wanted to play with the elephant. + +"Let me take the elephant!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, let me take the elephant!" Ben said. "I like it more!" + +They pulled and tugged on the elephant, but it was too big for them. They could not take it home or share it. They started to cry and shout. + +A nice lady saw them and came over. She smiled and said, "Why are you fighting over the elephant? It is not yours. It belongs to the park. You can play with it here, but you have to be gentle and kind. And you have to let other children play with it too. That is the fair and easy thing to do." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for being mean. They said sorry to each other and to the lady. They decided to play with the elephant together and take turns. They had fun and made new friends. They learned that sharing is caring and that fighting is not easy. +Sara and Tom were very happy. Today they would go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They loved to see the animals and learn their names. They packed their bags with snacks, water and hats. They got in the car and drove to the zoo. + +"Are we there yet?" Sara asked. + +"Soon, sweetie. Look, there is the sign for the zoo!" Mom said. + +They arrived at the zoo and bought their tickets. They saw a big map with pictures of the animals. They decided to start with the monkeys. + +"Look, Tom, the monkeys are swinging from the trees! They are so funny!" Sara said. + +"They are, Sara. And they are making funny noises too. Can you make a monkey noise?" Tom said. + +Sara and Tom tried to imitate the monkeys. They made loud sounds and jumped around. Mom and Dad laughed and took pictures of them. + +Then they saw a baby monkey. It was very small and cute. It had big eyes and a fluffy tail. It was holding its mom's hand. + +"Aw, how adorable!" Sara said. + +"It is, Sara. Do you want to give it a name?" Mom asked. + +Sara thought for a moment. She liked the baby monkey very much. + +"I want to call it Lila. Lila the monkey," she said. + +"That's a lovely name, Sara. Lila the monkey. Maybe we can come back and visit her again," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They waved goodbye to Lila and her mom. They were excited to see more animals at the zoo. They had a wonderful day. +Sara loves to look at the flowers in her garden. She likes the red ones, the yellow ones, and the pink ones. She likes to smell them and touch them gently. She likes to watch them bloom in the spring. She thinks they are very pretty. + +One day, Sara sees a big plane in the sky. It is white and shiny and makes a loud noise. She wonders where it is going and who is inside. She wants to fly in a plane someday and see the clouds and the stars. She thinks it must be very fun. + +She runs to her mom and points at the plane. She says, "Mom, look! A plane! A plane!" Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Yes, Sara, that is a plane. It is very high in the sky. Do you like planes?" Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom, I like planes. And I like flowers. They are very pretty." + +Her mom says, "You are very smart, Sara. You know a lot of words. Do you want to learn more words?" Sara says, "Yes, mom, I want to learn more words. Can you teach me?" Her mom says, "Of course, Sara. I can teach you more words. Come, let's go inside and read a book. Maybe we can find a book about planes and flowers." + +Sara is very happy. She loves her mom and her garden and the plane. She thinks she is very lucky. She follows her mom inside and looks for a book. She hopes to find one with pictures of planes and flowers. She wants to learn more words and see more things. She thinks the world is very big and beautiful. +Tom and Lily like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They try to match the cards and make pairs. Tom and Lily are competitive. They want to have more pairs than the other. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring their cards and a blanket. They find a nice spot under a tree. They spread the blanket and the cards. They start to play. + +"Look, I have a pair of red birds!" Tom says. He puts the cards in front of him. + +"I have a pair of yellow flowers!" Lily says. She puts the cards in front of her. + +They keep playing and finding pairs. They count their pairs. Tom has six pairs. Lily has five pairs. + +"I have more pairs than you!" Tom says. He smiles. + +"No, you don't!" Lily says. She frowns. She looks at the cards. She sees a card with a green frog. She remembers she has another card with a green frog. She grabs the card and makes a pair. + +"Ha! Now I have six pairs too!" Lily says. She smiles. + +Tom looks at the cards. He sees a card with a blue fish. He remembers he has another card with a blue fish. He grabs the card and makes a pair. + +"Ha! Now I have seven pairs!" Tom says. He smiles. + +Lily looks at the cards. She sees no more pairs. She feels sad. + +"Tom, you win. You have more pairs than me." Lily says. She sighs. + +Tom looks at Lily. He sees she is sad. He feels sorry. + +"Lily, don't be sad. You played well. Here, you can have one of my pairs." Tom says. He gives her a pair of brown bears. + +Lily looks at Tom. She sees he is nice. She feels happy. + +"Tom, thank you. You are a good friend. Here, you can have one of my pairs." Lily says. She gives him a pair of pink pigs. + +Tom and Lily hug. They share their pairs. They are happy. + +They put the cards back in the box. They fold the blanket. They go to their mom. They tell her they had fun playing with cards. They are not competitive anymore. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big green hill. They want to climb it. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They rush to the hill. They are happy and excited. They start to climb. They see flowers, bugs and rocks. They are having fun. + +But then they hear a loud roar. They look up. They see a big green dragon. It has sharp teeth, long claws and fiery breath. It is angry and hungry. It is a threat. + +"Help!" Lily screams. + +"Run!" Tom shouts. + +They rush down the hill. They are scared and tired. They see their mom and dad. They run to them. They hug them. + +"What's wrong?" Mom asks. + +"There is a dragon on the hill!" Lily says. + +"A dragon?" Dad says. + +They look at the hill. They see nothing. No dragon. No roar. Only green. + +"Maybe it was a dream," Mom says. + +"Or a trick," Dad says. + +Lily and Tom are not sure. They are still scared. They do not want to go to the hill again. They want to play somewhere else. They are glad they are safe. +Lily and Max were at the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the kangaroos, but they had to wait in a long line. Lily was frustrated. She did not like to wait. She wanted to see the kangaroos now. + +"Mom, can we go see the kangaroos now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait our turn. There are many other people who want to see them too," Mom said. + +"But I want to see them now!" Lily said louder. + +Max tried to calm his sister down. He was older and more patient. He liked to see all the animals, not just the kangaroos. + +"Lily, look at the monkeys. They are funny. They are jumping and swinging and making noises. Do you see them?" Max said. + +Lily looked at the monkeys, but she was not interested. She wanted to see the kangaroos. She did not care about the monkeys. + +"No, I don't want to see the monkeys. I want to see the kangaroos!" Lily said even louder. + +She started to cry and kick and scream. Mom was embarrassed and worried. She did not know how to make Lily stop. She tried to hug her and talk to her, but Lily did not listen. + +"Please, Lily, stop crying. We will see the kangaroos soon. I promise. You have to be nice and quiet. You are disturbing the other people and the animals," Mom said. + +But Lily did not stop. She cried and cried and cried. She made a big scene. The other people in the line looked at her and shook their heads. They were annoyed and angry. They did not like Lily. + +Finally, it was their turn to see the kangaroos. Mom took Lily and Max to the fence where the kangaroos were. They were big and brown and furry. They had long tails and big feet. They were hopping and eating and resting. They looked cute and friendly. + +"Look, Lily, look. There are the kangaroos. Aren't they amazing? Do you want to show them your toy?" Mom said. + +She hoped that Lily would be happy and stop crying. She hoped that Lily would like the kangaroos and forget about her tantrum. + +But Lily did not look at the kangaroos. She did not show them her toy. She did not care about the kangaroos. She was still frustrated and angry. She did not want to be at the zoo. She wanted to go home. + +"No, I don't want to see the kangaroos. I don't like the kangaroos. I want to go home!" Lily said. + +She threw her toy on the ground and turned away from the fence. She crossed her arms and pouted. She did not look at Mom or Max or the kangaroos. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She did not know what to do with Lily. She was sad and tired. She picked up the toy and took Lily and Max by the hand. She decided to leave the zoo and go home. + +"Come on, kids. Let's go home. Maybe we can come back another day when Lily is in a better mood," Mom said. + +Max nodded and followed Mom. He was disappointed and sorry. He liked the zoo and the kangaroos. He wanted to stay and see more animals. But he knew that Lily was not happy and that Mom was not happy. He hoped that Lily would be nicer and happier next time. + +The end. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy train. They had a big track that went around the room. They made the train go fast and slow, and made noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. + +One day, they saw a real train outside their window. It was big and shiny and loud. They wanted to see it up close. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"Sorry, kids, we can't go today. The train is too far and we have to do other things," mom said. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to ride the train and see where it went. They had an idea. They took their toy train and some pillows and blankets. They made a fake train on their bed. They used the pillows as seats and the blankets as windows. They pretended they were on the real train. + +"Look, Lily, we are on the train!" Ben said. "We are going to the zoo and the park and the beach!" + +"Wow, Ben, this is fun!" Lily said. "We can see the animals and the swings and the sand!" + +They played with their fake train for a long time. They made up stories and songs and games. They had a lot of fun. They forgot they were sad. + +Mom came to check on them. She saw them on their bed, smiling and laughing. She was happy. She climbed on the bed and joined them. + +"Can I play with you?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, you can!" Ben and Lily said. "We are on the train!" + +They hugged mom and gave her a pillow. They showed her their fake train and told her their stories. They played together until it was time for dinner. They were happy. They loved their toy train and their fake train and their mom. +Lila and Tom were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were in different places. Lila had a pink doll with long hair and a dress. Tom had a blue doll with short hair and a hat. + +"Let's go to the zoo," Lila said. "We can see the lions and the monkeys and the birds." + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Some animals are scary and can hurt us." + +They walked around the garden, holding their dolls and making animal noises. They saw a big tree and decided it was a bird cage. They put their dolls inside and pretended they were birds. + +"Tweet, tweet," Lila said. "I'm a pretty bird. I can fly and sing." + +"Tweet, tweet," Tom said. "I'm a smart bird. I can talk and blink." + +They blinked their eyes and laughed. They liked to blink. It was fun and easy. + +But then they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big cat. It had yellow fur and black stripes. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and hungry. + +"Roar," the cat said. "I'm a tiger. I'm the king of the jungle. I can eat you and your dolls." + +Lila and Tom were scared. They thought the cat was a real tiger. They thought it was a threat. They hugged their dolls and screamed. + +"Help, help," Lila said. "The tiger is going to get us." + +"Help, help," Tom said. "The tiger is too big and strong." + +But then they heard another voice. It was their mom. She came out of the house and saw them. She saw the cat too. She smiled and picked it up. + +"Don't be afraid," she said. "This is not a tiger. This is Fluffy. He is our new pet. He is a fake tiger. He is just a cat with stripes. He can't hurt you. He just wants to play." + +Lila and Tom looked at the cat. They saw that it was small and soft. They saw that it was not angry and hungry. They saw that it was a fake tiger. They felt silly and relieved. + +"Can we play with Fluffy?" Lila asked. + +"Sure," mom said. "But be gentle. He is still a baby." + +Lila and Tom petted the cat. They liked his fur and his purr. They gave him their dolls. He played with them and blinked his eyes. + +"Tweet, tweet," Lila said. + +"Roar," Tom said. + +They all laughed and had fun. They liked their new friend. He was a fake tiger, but a real cat. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. But Lily's favorite was the gorilla. She liked how big and strong he was, and how he played with his friends. + +"Can we see the gorilla again?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go back to his cage," Mom said. + +They walked to the gorilla cage, where a big crowd was watching. The gorilla was sitting on a rock, eating a banana. He looked bored and sad. + +"Hello, gorilla!" Lily said. She waved at him and smiled. + +The gorilla looked at Lily and threw his banana peel at her. It hit her on the head and made her cry. + +"Hey, that's rude!" Ben said. He was angry at the gorilla for hurting his sister. + +The gorilla laughed and clapped his hands. He thought it was funny to make Lily cry. + +"Stop it, gorilla!" Mom said. She picked up Lily and hugged her. "You're not nice. You should be sorry." + +The gorilla did not care. He kept laughing and clapping. He did not like people. He wanted to be alone. + +But then, something happened. A loud noise came from the sky. It was a helicopter. It flew over the zoo and dropped a big net over the gorilla cage. The net caught the gorilla and lifted him up. + +"Help! Help!" the gorilla screamed. He was scared and confused. He did not know what was happening. + +The crowd gasped and watched. Lily and Ben saw the gorilla in the net. He looked small and weak. + +"Where are they taking him?" Lily asked Mom. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe to another zoo. Maybe to a better place," Mom said. + +Lily felt sorry for the gorilla. She wiped her tears and said, "Bye, gorilla. I hope you're happy." + +The gorilla heard Lily's voice. He stopped screaming and looked at her. He saw her kind face and felt something in his heart. He felt sorry too. + +He reached out his hand and waved at Lily. He did not clap or laugh. He did not throw anything. He just waved. + +Lily waved back and smiled. She did not hate the gorilla. She just wanted him to be nice. + +The helicopter flew away with the gorilla. Lily and Ben never saw him again. But they always remembered him. And they hoped he learned to be nice. +Anna liked to read books. She liked to learn new words. But sometimes she did not know what a word meant. She asked her mom or dad, but they were busy. She wished she had a way to find out by herself. + +One day, she saw a big book on the shelf. It had many pages and letters. She took it down and opened it. She saw that it had words and their meanings. She was curious. She looked for a word she did not know. She found "dictionary". It said: "a book that tells you what words mean". She was amazed. She had found a dictionary! + +She ran to her mom and dad and showed them the book. "Look, look, I found a dictionary! It is a book that tells you what words mean! It is so helpful! Can I keep it?" she asked. + +Her mom and dad smiled. They were proud of Anna. They said: "Yes, you can keep it. It is a good book for you. You can use it to learn new words and improve your reading. But remember, a dictionary is not enough. You also need to practice and ask questions. And you need to share your knowledge with others. That is how you become a good reader and a good person." + +Anna nodded. She hugged the book and thanked her mom and dad. She was happy. She had found a helpful book and learned a valuable lesson. She decided to use the dictionary every day and to share what she learned with her friends. She knew that reading was fun and important. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a map that Lily drew with crayons. It showed them where to dig. + +"Look, Max, the map says we have to dig under the big tree. Maybe we will find a jewel!" Lily said. + +"Wow, a jewel! I hope it is shiny and pretty. Come on, let's dig!" Max said. + +They took their shovels and started to dig under the tree. They dug and dug, but they did not find anything. They were getting tired and dirty. + +"Maybe the map is wrong. Maybe there is no jewel here," Max said. + +"Maybe we have to dig deeper. Maybe the jewel is hiding," Lily said. + +They dug some more, but still nothing. They were about to give up, when they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" It was Mr. Brown, the park keeper. He saw them digging under the tree. + +"We are looking for a jewel. We have a map," Lily said. + +"A jewel? Under the tree? That's very unlikely. You know, this tree is very old and important. It gives us shade and air and fruits. It is a jewel itself. You should not dig under it. You might hurt it," Mr. Brown said. + +He showed them the fruits that grew on the tree. They were red and juicy and sweet. + +"These are apples. They are very healthy and tasty. They are better than any jewel. Here, you can have some. But please, do not dig under the tree anymore. It needs your respect and care," Mr. Brown said. + +He gave them each an apple and helped them fill the hole they made. Lily and Max thanked him and apologized. They ate the apples and agreed that they were very good. + +"Maybe you are right, Mr. Brown. Maybe the tree is the real jewel. And maybe the map was not for treasure, but for apples," Lily said. + +"Maybe so, Lily. Maybe so. You are very smart. And you know what? You are also very lucky. Because you have a friend like Max, who plays with you and helps you. And that is the best jewel of all," Mr. Brown said. + +He smiled and waved at them as they left the park. Lily and Max smiled and hugged each other. They were happy and healthy and had a lot of fun. They decided to make a new map, one that would include all the jewels they had in their lives. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a rope ladder that they could climb up and down. Sometimes they pretended they were pirates or explorers or fairies in the tree. + +One day, their mom made them some tea and cookies and put them on a tray. She told them to share nicely and not to be selfish. She brought the tray to the garden and left it on a table under the tree. + +Lily and Ben climbed down the ladder and ran to the table. They saw the tea and cookies and their eyes lit up. Lily grabbed the teapot and poured herself a cup. She took two cookies and put them on her plate. She did not leave any tea or cookies for Ben. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. "You are being selfish! You have to share with me!" + +"No, I don't!" Lily said. "I was faster and I got here first. This is my tea and my cookies. You can go and find your own!" + +Ben felt angry and sad. He did not like it when Lily was selfish. He wanted to have some tea and cookies too. He looked around and saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and swung it at the table. He knocked over the teapot and the cups and the plates. The tea and the cookies spilled all over the grass. + +Lily screamed and dropped her cup. She saw the mess and started to cry. She was not happy anymore. She had lost her tea and her cookies. She wished she had shared with Ben. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the garden. She saw the stick and the tray and the tea and the cookies. She saw Lily crying and Ben frowning.

They climbed the tree and played nicely together. They waited for their tea and cookies. They were not selfish anymore. +Tommy was a troubled boy. He did not like to share his toys or his snacks.

She liked to share her toys and her snacks. She always said sorry and thank you. She listened to her mom and her dad. Tommy and Lily played in Tommy's room.

He told Lily to wait in his room. He said he would be back soon. He ran to the bathroom and locked the door. He did not want Lily to touch his toys while he was gone. He thought he was very smart. + +But Tommy was not smart. He was very silly. He forgot to part the water in the sink. He left the faucet on. The water filled the sink and spilled over.

She said she would show him how to have fun and be kind. + +Tommy smiled and hugged Lily. He felt happy and grateful. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that sharing is caring and that parting is smarting. He learned that being troubled is not good and that being kind is better. He learned that he had a good friend in Lily and that he had a good mom and dad. He learned that he could be a good boy. +Sam is a dog who lives with a farmer.

He does not want to stay in the barn. He wants to go with the farmer and see new things. He thinks, "Maybe I can follow the farmer and he will not notice. He cannot hear me, so I can be quiet."

He runs away from them and looks for the farmer. + +He finds the farmer at his stall. The farmer is selling his eggs and milk to a lady. He does not see Sam. Sam runs to him and jumps on him. He licks his face and wags his tail. He thinks, "Farmer, I am here! I came with you! I had fun!" + +The farmer is surprised and annoyed. He pushes Sam away and says, "Sam, what are you doing here? You are a bad dog! You did not listen to me! You did not guard the barn and the chickens! You made a mess at the market! You scared the people and the animals! You have to go back to the farm now!" + +Sam is sad and confused. He does not understand why the farmer is angry. He thinks, "But farmer, I love you! I wanted to be with you!

You don't want that pumpkin, Anna. It's bad." + +Anna felt sad. She liked her pumpkin. She didn't think it was disgusting. She thought it was special. + +"But I like it, dad. It's my pumpkin. Please, can I keep it?" Anna said. She looked at dad with big, wet eyes. + +Dad sighed. He didn't want to make Anna cry. He remembered when he was a little boy. He liked to collect rocks and sticks and bugs. His mom and dad didn't understand. They thought they were dirty and ugly. But he loved them. He knew how Anna felt. + +"Okay, okay. You can keep your pumpkin, Anna. But you have to promise me something. You have to wash it and put it in a plastic bag. And you can't put it in your room or in the house. It might make us sick.

Do you want to learn?" + +"What can you teach me, Tom?" Lily asks. She is curious. + +"I can teach you how to make a paper butterfly," Tom says. He takes out a piece of paper from his backpack.

It is shiny and pretty. Find another piece." + +Lily was angry and frustrated. She did not like when Max was mean to her. She wanted to finish her puzzle. She said, "Please, Max, give it to me.

"We are going to space!" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily said. "I can see the moon!" + +They were so happy and excited that they did not notice the wind was blowing hard.

Please don't be mad at us," Sara said. She started to cry. + +Ben also cried. He hugged Sara and said, "We are sorry, mister. Can we do anything to make you feel better?" + +The man sighed and calmed down. He saw that Sara and Ben were sorry and did not do it on purpose. He felt sorry for them too. + +"It's okay, kids. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to be more careful with other people's things. They might be very important to them. And you have to ask before you touch them," he said. + +He wiped their tears and gave them a hug. He said, "I forgive you. But you have to promise me to be more careful next time.

But can we look at it more?" + +"Sure," the soldier said. "You can look at it as much as you want. But remember, it is not a toy. It is a weapon. It is part of my uniform. It tells people who I am and what I do." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They looked at the sword and the soldier. They learned something new. They thanked the soldier and went back to play.

A lady opened the door and said, "Hello, we are the Smiths. We just moved in. Are you our neighbors?" Sara's mom said, "Yes, we are. I'm Mary and this is Sara.

She felt a little less scared. She looked at Lily and said, "Thank you. She is pretty. My doll is Betty. She is my favorite too." Lily said, "You're welcome. Betty is pretty too.

They said, "Thank you, mom. This is yummy." They shared their snacks and continued to play. + +Sara and Lily had fun playing with their dolls. They laughed and sang and told stories.

They wanted to go there and see what was on top. + +"Let's go to the mountain, Tom!" Sara said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals or treasure!" + +"OK, Sara, but we have to be careful. The mountain is very high and steep. We need to follow the path and stay together," Tom said. + +Sara and Tom packed some snacks and water and started to walk. They saw many charming things on the way, like birds and butterflies and rocks. They also met a friendly dog who wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +"Can we take him with us, Tom? He is so cute and nice. Maybe he knows the way to the mountain," Sara said. + +"Sure, Sara, but we have to ask his owner first. Maybe he lives in one of the houses nearby," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a small house with a fence and a sign. The sign said: "Beware of the dog. He is very naughty and likes to lead people astray." + +Sara and Tom did not know what "beware" or "naughty" or "astray" meant. They thought the sign was a joke. They decided to take the dog with them and continue to the mountain. + +The dog seemed happy and followed them. He barked and ran and jumped. He also led them to different directions, away from the path. He made them go through bushes and streams and hills. He made them lose their way. + +Sara and Tom did not notice that they were going farther and farther from the mountain. They were too busy having fun with the dog. They did not see the sun setting and the sky getting dark. They did not hear the thunder and the rain coming. + +Soon, they were wet and cold and hungry and scared. They realized that they were lost and that the dog had tricked them. They wished they had listened to the sign and stayed on the path. They wished they had never met the dog. They wished they could go back home. +Ben and Jen are twins. They live on a farm with Mom and Dad. They like to play with the animals and help with the chores.

They ask Mom many questions. "How big is he? What is his name? When will he come out?" + +Mom smiles and says, "He is very little now, but he will grow bigger. We don't know his name yet, but we will choose one together. He will come out in a few months, when the weather is warm." + +Lila and Sam want to help Mom.

Tom marked a blue car and a red fire truck. Lily marked a yellow sun and a green tree. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. They were scared and dropped their crayons. They looked at each other and said, "What is that?" + +Mom came running into the room and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. It's just an earthquake. It means the ground is moving a little bit. It will stop soon." + +Tom and Lily felt Mom's arms around them and felt safer. They asked, "Why does the ground move, Mom?" + +Mom said, "It's hard to explain, but sometimes the big pieces of the earth that we live on move a little bit and make a noise. It doesn't happen very often, and it usually doesn't hurt anyone. We just have to be careful and stay together." + +Tom and Lily nodded and hugged Mom back. They waited until the shaking stopped and the noise was gone. Then they picked up their crayons and continued to mark their paper. They marked a big heart and wrote "Mom" inside it. They showed it to Mom and said, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are my brave and creative children." +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they found oysters, which were big and hard and had something shiny inside. + +"Look, I found an oyster!" Lily said, holding up her find. "It is very heavy. I think it has a pearl inside." + +"Let me see!" Tom said, grabbing the oyster from Lily. "I want to open it and see the pearl. It is mine now." + +"No, it is not!" Lily said, pulling the oyster back. "I found it first. It is mine. Give it back!" + +They started to tug and pull on the oyster, each trying to keep it for themselves. The oyster was very strong and did not open. They did not notice that their mom and dad were watching them. + +"Tom, Lily, stop fighting!" their mom said, walking over to them. "You are both being very silly. The oyster is not yours. It belongs to the sea. You can look at it, but you have to put it back where you found it." + +"But mom, we want to see the pearl!" Tom and Lily said. + +"Maybe there is no pearl inside. Maybe there is only sand or water. You don't know. And even if there is a pearl, it is not fair to take it from the oyster. The oyster needs it to protect itself. How would you feel if someone took something from you that you needed?" their dad said. + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not like it when someone took their toys or their snacks. They felt sorry for the oyster. They decided to listen to their mom and dad. + +"Okay, we will put the oyster back," they said. They walked to the water and gently placed the oyster on a rock. They said goodbye to the oyster and thanked it for letting them see it. + +"Good job, Tom and Lily," their mom said. "You are very kind and smart. Maybe the oyster will give you a brilliant smile." + +They looked at the oyster and saw a tiny flash of light. Maybe it was the sun, or maybe it was the pearl.

One day, they decide to teach their truck how to go fast like their car. + +They load their car in the back of their truck and drive to the park. They find a big hill and say, "This is where we will teach our truck how to go fast." They unload their car and put it at the top of the hill. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their car down the hill. The car zooms down the hill and makes a loud noise. Tom and Sue clap and cheer. + +They say, "Now it is your turn, truck. You can do it too." They load their truck at the top of the hill and say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their truck down the hill. But the truck is too heavy and slow. It does not zoom down the hill like the car. It rolls down the hill and bumps into a tree. The truck makes a sad noise and loses some of its things. Tom and Sue run to their truck and say, "Oh no, truck. Are you okay?" + +They hug their truck and say, "We are sorry, truck. We did not mean to hurt you. You are amazing just the way you are. You can load many things and carry them anywhere. You do not need to go fast like the car. You have your own special way of doing things." They pick up the things that fell from the truck and load them back in the back. They say, "We love you, truck. You are our best friend." + +They load their car in the back of their truck and drive back home. They say, "We had a fun day at the park. We learned something new.

He said, "You can choose any slide you want. Which one do you like?" + +Lily looked at all the slides. She saw one with a tiny star on it. She said, "I like this one. What is it?" + +Ben said, "That is a snowflake. It is made of ice. It falls from the sky when it is cold. It has six points and many patterns. It is very pretty." + +Lily said, "Wow, it is. Can I see it with the microscope?" + +Ben said, "Sure, let me help you. You have to put the slide on the stage and turn the knob. Then you can look through the eyepiece and see it bigger." + +Lily did as Ben said. She looked through the microscope and saw the snowflake. It was sparkling and beautiful. She said, "It is like a magic star. It is so small but so mighty. Thank you, Ben, for showing me." + +Ben said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you like it. Do you want to see more slides?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. I want to see more small things with your microscope. They are all wonderful." +Lily and Max were playing in the forest. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and birds. They saw a big log on the ground. It was enormous. It was bigger than their house. + +"Let's climb on the log," said Max. He ran to the log and jumped on it. He tried to balance on the log. + +"Be careful, Max," said Lily. She followed him and climbed on the log too. She held his hand. They walked on the log together. + +They saw a big branch hanging from a tree. It was very high. It looked like a swing. + +"Look, Lily, a swing!" said Max. He let go of her hand and ran to the branch. He grabbed the branch and tried to swing on it. + +"Max, no!" said Lily. She was scared. The branch was too high and too thin. It could break. She ran after him and tried to stop him. + +But it was too late. The branch snapped and Max fell off. He landed on the soft grass. He was not hurt, but he was very surprised. + +"Max, are you okay?" said Lily. She ran to him and hugged him. She was glad he was not hurt. + +"I'm okay, Lily," said Max. He hugged her back. He was sorry he scared her. + +"Let's not swing on the branch, okay?" said Lily. + +"Okay," said Max. "Let's play on the log. It's safer and more fun." + +They went back to the log and played on it. They pretended it was a boat, a train, a castle, and a dragon. They had a lot of fun on the log. They forgot about the branch. They were happy. +Lily and Max liked to play with their toy cars. They made them zoom on the floor and on the sofa. They pretended they were racing drivers and made loud noises. + +One day, Lily had a new idea. She wanted to perform a show with her cars. She told Max to watch her and clap. She put her cars on a big book and made them jump off. She said, "Look, Max, they can fly!" + +Max thought that was fun, but he wanted to try too. He picked up his cars and went to the book. But Lily stopped him. She said, "No, Max, this is my show. You can only watch. I am the boss." + +Max felt sad and angry. He did not like Lily being bossy. He said, "That is not fair, Lily. I want to play too. You are not the boss of me." + +Lily and Max started to argue. They both wanted to perform with their cars. They did not want to share. They pushed and pulled the book and the cars. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see. She saw Lily and Max fighting and the toys everywhere. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Max, what are you doing? You are not playing nicely. You need to share and take turns. You can both perform with your cars, but you have to be kind and respectful." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max." They hugged and made up. They decided to perform together. They took turns to make their cars zoom and fly. They clapped and cheered for each other.

They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Sara. + +"OK, but only for a little while. Then you have to give it back," Sara said. + +She gave Tom her doll and took his car. She liked the car, but she also missed her doll. + +"Can I have my doll back?" Sara asked Tom after a few minutes. + +"No, I like the doll. You can keep the car," Tom said. + +He hugged the doll and did not want to share. + +Sara felt sad and angry. She wanted her doll back, but Tom was not generous. She started to cry. + +Mom heard Sara crying and came to the living room. She saw Tom with the doll and Sara with the car. + +"What's wrong, Sara?" Mom asked. + +"Tom won't give me my doll back. He took it and won't share," Sara said. + +Mom looked at Tom and said, "Tom, that's not nice. You have to share with your sister. How would you feel if she took your car and did not give it back?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He remembered how much he liked his car and how he would be sad if he lost it. He felt sorry for Sara. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. Here, you can have your doll back. I was not generous," Tom said. + +He gave Sara her doll and took his car.

We can share our toys and have more fun," Tom said. + +They played happily with their toys and Mom was proud of them. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be generous and kind to others. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went with their mom and dad to church. They saw many people there, some they knew and some they did not. They also saw a big organ that made loud music. + +Lily wanted to see the organ up close. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes, but she had to be quiet and thoughtful. Lily nodded and walked to the front of the church. She saw the man who played the organ. He had many buttons and keys and pedals. Lily thought it looked fun. + +Ben saw Lily go to the organ. He wanted to go too. He did not ask his mom or dad. He just ran after Lily. He did not care about being quiet or thoughtful. He wanted to make noise and have fun. + +When he reached the organ, he saw Lily talking to the man. He pushed Lily aside and jumped on the keys. He made a loud and ugly sound. The man shouted at him to stop. The people in the church turned around and looked at him. They were angry and surprised. + +Lily was sad and scared. She did not like the noise or the shouting. She did not like that Ben pushed her. She ran back to her mom and dad. They hugged her and said sorry. They were not happy with Ben. + +Ben was in trouble. He did not understand why the man shouted at him. He did not understand why the people looked at him. He did not understand why Lily ran away. He did not understand why his mom and dad were mad at him. He did not understand that he was not quiet or thoughtful. He did not understand that he ruined the music and the church. He only understood that he was alone and sad. +Ben likes to go to the park with his mom. He likes to play on the slide and the swings. He also likes to look at the trees and the flowers. He sees many colors in the park. + +One day, he finds a black label on the ground. He picks it up and shows it to his mom. He asks her what it says. She tells him it is a label from a bottle of water. She says it has words and pictures on it. + +Ben tries to read the label. He sees a big W and a blue drop. He says "W is for water". He sees a small O and a red heart. He says "O is for love". He sees a big Z and a green leaf. He says "Z is for zoo". He thinks the label is very fun. + +He asks his mom if he can keep the label. She says yes, but he has to put it in his pocket. She says they have to go home soon. Ben puts the label in his pocket and says goodbye to the park. He is happy he found a black label. He wants to show it to his dad and his sister. He thinks they will like it too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have a big box of salt. They make shapes with the salt on the table. + +"Look, I made a star!" Sara says. She is proud of her salt star. + +"I made a moon!" Ben says. He is proud of his salt moon. + +They show each other their shapes. They smile. + +But then, a cat jumps on the table. The cat likes the salt. The cat licks the salt. The cat knocks over the salt box. The salt spills everywhere. + +"Hey, stop!" Sara yells. She is angry at the cat. She tries to save her salt star. + +"Go away!" Ben yells. He is angry at the cat too. He tries to save his salt moon. + +But the cat does not listen. The cat keeps licking the salt. The cat breaks the salt shapes. The salt shapes are gone. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. They have no more salt shapes. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees the cat. She sees Sara and Ben. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. She is surprised. + +"The cat ate our salt shapes!" Sara says. She points at the cat. + +"The cat ruined our salt shapes!" Ben says. He points at the cat too. + +Mom picks up the cat. She puts the cat outside. She says, "Bad cat! No more salt for you!" + +She looks at Sara and Ben. They are still sad. They have no more salt shapes. + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, my loves. The cat was naughty. But you can make new salt shapes. I have more salt in the cupboard. Do you want to try again?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They want to try again. They wipe their tears. They smile. + +Mom gives them more salt. They make new shapes with the salt on the table. + +"Look, I made a heart!" Sara says. She is happy with her salt heart. + +"I made a sun!" Ben says. He is happy with his salt sun. + +They show each other their shapes. They hug. They say, "We love our salt shapes. And we love each other." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, my thin twins. You are very creative. And very sweet. Just like salt." +Anna liked to draw with her pencil. She drew cats and dogs and flowers and stars. She was very good at drawing. She wanted to show her drawing to her teacher, Miss Lee. + +She took her pencil and her paper and walked to Miss Lee's desk. But on the way, she saw Billy. Billy was a mean boy. He liked to make fun of Anna and take her things. He saw Anna's pencil and he wanted it. + +"Hey, Anna, give me your pencil!" Billy said. He reached out his hand and tried to grab the pencil. + +"No, Billy, this is my pencil!" Anna said. She held the pencil tight and did not let go. + +Billy got angry. He pushed Anna hard. Anna fell down and dropped her pencil and her paper. Her paper tore and her pencil broke. Anna felt a big pain in her knee and a big hurt in her heart. She started to cry. + +Miss Lee heard Anna cry and came to see what happened. She saw Anna on the floor and Billy standing over her. She saw the torn paper and the broken pencil. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Miss Lee asked. She helped Anna get up and hugged her. + +"Billy, what did you do?" Miss Lee asked. She looked at Billy with a stern face. + +Billy felt ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He lowered his head and said nothing. + +"Billy, you owe Anna an apology. You should not push her or take her things. You should be kind and share. Do you understand?" Miss Lee said. + +Billy nodded. He looked at Anna and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna was still sad, but she was also brave. She wiped her tears and said, "I forgive you, Billy. But please don't do it again." + +Miss Lee smiled. She gave Anna a new pencil and a new paper. She praised Anna for her drawing and her forgiveness. She told Billy to say sorry to the other children he had hurt. She hoped Billy would learn to be a better friend. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy kitchen. They have pots and pans, spoons and forks, and many pretend foods. They pretend to cook and eat yummy things. + +One day, they find a new toy in their toy box. It is a big chamber with a lid and a handle. They wonder what it is for. They look at the picture on the box. It shows a boy and a girl mixing things in the chamber and making a cake. + +"Let's try it!" Anna says. She opens the lid and puts some flour, sugar, butter, and eggs in the chamber. She closes the lid and turns the handle. The chamber makes a funny noise and shakes. "It is mixing!" she says. + +Ben watches and claps his hands. He wants to help. He finds some chocolate chips and sprinkles in the toy box. He opens the lid and adds them to the chamber. He closes the lid and turns the handle again. The chamber makes a louder noise and shakes more. "It is mixing more!" he says. + +Anna and Ben wait for a few minutes. They hope the chamber will make a cake. They smell something sweet and warm. They open the lid and see a big, round, brown cake with chocolate chips and sprinkles on top. They are very happy. They cut the cake and share it with their toys. They say, "Yum, yum, yum! This is the best cake ever!" They hug each other and thank the chamber for making the cake. They decide to keep the chamber and use it every day. They love to mix and bake. +Ben and Lily wanted a puppy. They asked Mom and Dad many times. Mom and Dad said no. They said puppies are too much work. They said puppies need a lot of food, water, toys, and love. They said puppies make a lot of noise and mess. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw a puppy in the park. The puppy was wet and dirty. He had no collar or tag. He looked sad and hungry. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the puppy. They wanted to help him. They looked around, but they did not see anyone who owned the puppy. + +"Can we take him home?" Ben asked Lily. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Mom and Dad will be mad." + +"But he needs us," Ben said. "He has no one else." + +"Maybe we can hide him in our room," Lily said. "We can give him some of our food and water. We can make him a bed out of our blankets. We can play with him and make him happy." + +"OK, let's do it," Ben said. "But we have to be very quiet and careful." + +They picked up the puppy and put him in Ben's backpack. They zipped it up, leaving a small gap for the puppy to breathe. They walked home, hoping Mom and Dad would not notice. + +When they got home, they ran to their room. They opened the backpack and took out the puppy. He was still wet and dirty. He shook himself and sprayed water and mud all over the room. He barked and wagged his tail. He licked Ben and Lily's faces. + +"Shh, shh, shh," Ben and Lily said. "You have to be quiet. Mom and Dad can't hear you." + +They tried to clean the puppy and the room. They gave him some of their crackers and water. They made him a bed out of their blankets. They petted him and talked to him. + +"You are a good puppy," Ben said. "We will take care of you. We will be your family." + +"What should we name him?" Lily asked. + +"How about Spot?" Ben suggested. + +"Spot is a good name," Lily agreed. + +They hugged Spot and smiled. They were happy. They had a puppy. + +But they did not know that Mom and Dad were outside their door. They heard the barking and the splashing. They smelled the mud and the wet fur. They opened the door and saw the mess and the puppy. + +"Ben! Lily! What is this?" Mom and Dad asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at Mom and Dad. They looked at Spot. They knew they were in trouble. + +They had to discuss with Mom and Dad what to do with the puppy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a long arm. The arm can lift things. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "The truck can lift the car!" + +Mia nods. She sees the car go up and down. She sees dust fly in the air. She thinks the dust is pretty. + +"Can we go closer?" Mia asks. "I want to see the dust." + +Tom shakes his head. He is scared of the truck. He thinks the truck is loud and strong. + +"No, we can't," Tom says. "The truck is not for us. It is for the workers. They are fixing the road." + +Mia frowns. She is not scared of the truck. She thinks the truck is charming and fun. + +"Please, Tom," Mia says. "Just a little bit. I want to touch the dust." + +Tom sighs. He does not want to make Mia sad. He likes Mia. He holds her hand. + +"Okay, but only a little bit," Tom says. "And we have to be careful. The truck is big and we are small." + +They walk closer to the truck. They see the car lift again. They see the dust sparkle in the sun. Mia smiles. She reaches out her hand. She feels the dust on her fingers. + +"It is soft and warm," Mia says. "Like fairy dust." + +Tom smiles too. He feels the dust on his hand. He thinks it is not so bad. + +"Maybe you are right," Tom says. "Maybe the truck is charming and fun." +Sara and Tom were playing with yarn. They liked to make shapes and animals with the yarn. Sara made a cat, Tom made a dog. + +"Look at my cat!" Sara said. "She is pretty and soft." + +"Look at my dog!" Tom said. "He is strong and brave." + +They showed each other their yarn animals. They were happy. + +But then, a big bird came. The bird saw the yarn and thought it was food. The bird flew down and grabbed the yarn animals in its beak. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Sara and Tom shouted. They ran after the bird. + +The bird flew away with the yarn. It tried to eat it, but it did not like it. The yarn was disgusting. The bird spat out the yarn and dropped it on the ground. + +Sara and Tom found their yarn animals. They were dirty and torn. + +"Oh no, look what the bird did!" Sara cried. "Our yarn animals are ruined!" + +Tom was angry. He picked up a stick and threw it at the bird. + +"Go away, you bad bird!" Tom yelled. "Don't touch our yarn again!" + +The bird was scared. It flew away and did not come back. + +Sara and Tom hugged each other. They were sad, but they still had some yarn left. + +"Let's make new yarn animals," Sara said. + +"OK, but this time, let's hide them from the bird," Tom said. + +They nodded and smiled. They repeated their game, but they were more careful. They had fun with their yarn. +Anna and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then they saw something strange. A white cloud was coming from the forest. It was not a cloud, it was mist. The mist was icy and cold. It moved slowly towards them and their snowman. + +"What is that?" Anna asked, pointing at the mist. + +"I don't know," Ben said, feeling scared. "Maybe it is a monster." + +They stared at the mist, hoping it would go away. But it did not. It came closer and closer. It reached their snowman and covered him with white. They could not see his hat, his scarf, his nose or his eyes. + +"Hey, leave our snowman alone!" Anna shouted at the mist. + +But the mist did not listen. It kept moving towards them. They felt the icy air on their faces and hands. They shivered and hugged each other. + +"Let's run!" Ben said, grabbing Anna's hand. + +They ran away from the mist, back to their house. They slammed the door behind them and looked out the window. The mist was still there, but it did not follow them. It stayed in the snow, making everything white. + +They were safe, but they were sad. They missed their snowman. They hoped he would come back when the mist was gone. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big tube that they found in the shed. They pretended that the tube was a rocket, a telescope, or a tunnel. + +One day, they decided to polish the tube to make it shiny. They used a cloth and some water and rubbed the tube until it sparkled. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look, Lily, our tube is so pretty!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. Let's play with it some more!" Lily said. + +They took the tube to the grass and put it on the ground. They crawled inside and pretended they were going to the moon. They made noises like a rocket and counted down. + +"Three, two, one, blast off!" Tom shouted. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the other end of the tube. They looked and saw a furry face with big eyes and ears. It was an unknown animal that had crawled into the tube. It looked scared and curious. + +"Hello, who are you?" Lily asked. + +The animal made a squeaky sound and tilted its head. It sniffed the air and moved closer to the children. + +"Wow, it's so cute!" Tom said. + +They reached out their hands and gently touched the animal. It felt soft and warm. It licked their fingers and wagged its tail. + +"I think it likes us, Lily. Maybe it wants to be our friend." Tom said. + +"Maybe, Tom. But what is it? I've never seen an animal like this before." Lily said. + +They decided to name the animal Fluffy and take it to their mom. They hoped she would let them keep it. They smiled and hugged Fluffy. They were happy they had polished the tube and found a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a creative girl. She made a crown of flowers and said she was a deer. Tom was a brave boy. He found a stick and said he was a lion. + +"Roar!" Tom said. "I am a lion and I will catch you, deer!" + +Lily ran away, laughing. "You can't catch me, lion! I am too fast and smart!" + +They ran around the trees and the swings, having fun. But then they saw a real deer. It was brown and had big horns. It was eating some grass near the fence. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "Look, Tom, a real deer! Let's go and say hello!" + +Tom was not sure. He thought the deer looked big and scary. But Lily was curious. She walked slowly towards the deer, holding her flower crown. + +"Hello, deer!" Lily said. "I am a deer too! See, I have a crown of flowers!" + +The deer looked at Lily. It did not reply. It did not like the smell of the flowers. It did not like the noise of the children. It felt angry and afraid. It lowered its head and charged at Lily. + +Lily screamed. She tried to run away, but it was too late. The deer hit her with its horns. Lily fell to the ground, bleeding and crying. + +Tom ran to help her. He shouted for help. He threw his stick at the deer, but it did not stop. The deer ran away, jumping over the fence. + +Soon, some grown-ups came. They saw Lily and Tom. They called an ambulance. They took Lily to the hospital. Tom was very sad. He wished he had not played lion and deer. He wished he had stayed away from the real deer. He wished he had protected Lily. He wished he could say sorry. +Lily was excited to go to the park with her mom. She put on her pink hat and shoes and ran to the door. "Mom, hurry, hurry!" she shouted. + +Mom smiled and picked up her purse. "Okay, okay, let's go," she said. "But first, we have to lock the door and cross the street safely." + +Lily nodded and held Mom's hand. They walked to the corner and waited for the green light. Lily saw a big dog on the other side. She liked dogs and wanted to pet it. She let go of Mom's hand and ran to the dog. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Mom yelled. "That's not safe!" + +But Lily did not hear Mom. She reached the dog and tried to hug it. The dog did not like that and barked loudly. It snapped at Lily and made her cry. + +Mom ran to Lily and picked her up. She checked if she was hurt and hugged her. "Lily, you scared me so much," she said. "You should never run away from me or touch a strange dog. That's very dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She was sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see the dog. I won't do it again." + +Mom kissed her and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I love you, Lily. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. That's how you stay safe and happy." + +Lily hugged Mom and said, "I love you, Mom. I will listen to you and follow the rules." + +They walked to the park and played on the swings. Lily saw another dog and asked Mom if she could pet it. Mom said yes, but only if the owner said it was okay and if she was gentle. Lily did that and the dog licked her hand. Lily smiled and thanked the owner. She learned her lesson and had fun. + +The moral value of the story is: Listen to your parents and follow the rules. They are there to protect you and help you enjoy life. +Ben and Lily liked to watch movies at the theater. They liked the big screen, the loud sound, and the tasty popcorn. One day, they went to see a movie about a magic ray that could shrink things. They thought it would be fun and funny. + +But when they got to the theater, something was wrong. The seats were too big, the popcorn was too high, and the people were too loud. Ben and Lily looked at each other and saw that they were very small. The magic ray had shrunk them! + +They tried to get help, but no one saw them or heard them. They were scared and lost. They ran to the door, but it was too heavy. They ran to the screen, but it was too bright. They ran to the popcorn, but it was too salty. They ran to the trash, but it was too smelly. + +They did not know what to do. They wished they could go back to their normal size. They wished they could go back to their home. They wished they could go back to their mom and dad. But they could not. They were stuck in the theater, tiny and alone. They cried and hugged each other. It was a bad day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Lily saw a big flower that was red and yellow. She wanted to pick it and give it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a pretty flower!" she said. She reached for the flower, but it was too heavy. She could not lift it. She tried again, but it did not move. + +"Help me, Ben!" she said. "The flower is heavy!" + +Ben came to help her. He saw the flower and smiled. He knew what it was. It was not a flower, but a pumpkin. + +"That is not a flower, Lily," he said. "That is a pumpkin. Pumpkins are heavy and round. You can make a face on them for Halloween." + +Lily looked at the pumpkin. She was surprised. She did not know that pumpkins could look like flowers. + +"Really?" she said. "A pumpkin? How do you know?" + +Ben pointed to the stem and the leaves. He had seen pumpkins before at the farm. + +"See, Lily, this is the stem and these are the leaves. They are green and they grow on the ground. The pumpkin is the fruit. It is orange and it grows big and heavy. My mom told me about pumpkins. She said we can mention them when we sing a song about Halloween." + +Lily nodded. She learned something new. She liked pumpkins, but she still liked flowers more. + +"Can we find a real flower, Ben?" she asked. "A flower that is not heavy and that I can pick and smell?" + +Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and they walked around the garden. They found many flowers that were not heavy and that they could pick and smell. They made a bouquet and gave it to their mom. She was happy and hugged them. She said they were the best flowers ever. +Lily liked to watch cartoons on TV. Her favorite cartoon was about a yellow dog who did funny things. She laughed a lot when she watched the yellow dog. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily did not want to go. She wanted to watch the yellow dog. She cried and said no. Her mom said they had to go. She said Lily could watch the yellow dog later. + +Lily was very sad. She put on her coat and shoes. She followed her mom to the car. She hoped the store would be quick. + +At the store, Lily saw a big TV. It was showing the yellow dog. Lily was happy. She ran to the TV. She wanted to watch the yellow dog. She did not see her mom. + +She stood in front of the TV. She smiled and clapped. She said, "Look, mom, it's the yellow dog!" + +But her mom was not there. A man was there. He was not her mom. He looked at Lily. He looked confused. He said, "Who are you? Where is your mom?" + +Lily was scared. She did not know the man. She looked around. She did not see her mom. She felt alone. She felt embarrassed. + +She started to cry. She said, "I want my mom! I want the yellow dog!" + +The man tried to calm her down. He said, "Don't cry, little girl. Your mom will come soon. The yellow dog is still on TV. You can watch him." + +Lily did not listen. She cried louder. She wanted her mom. + +Then she heard a voice. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, where are you? I've been looking for you!"
