The swans are big and white and have long necks. They swim and flap their wings and make funny noises. + +One day, Sara and Ben have some bread to feed the swans. They are very excited. They run to the pond and throw some bread in the water. The swans come closer and eat the bread. Sara and Ben laugh and clap their hands. They want to pet the swans, but Mom says no. She says the swans might bite or peck. She says they have to be careful and respectful. + +But one swan is very rude. He does not like to share the bread with the other swans. He chases them away and snaps at them. He wants all the bread for himself. He is greedy and mean. He sees Sara and Ben throwing more bread. He swims very fast to them. He sticks his neck out and hisses. He tries to grab the bread from their hands. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the bread and back away. The rude swan eats the bread and looks very happy. He thinks he is smart and clever. He does not care about the other swans or the children. He is very selfish. + +Mom sees what happens. She is angry and sad. She says to the rude swan: "You are a bad swan. You are not nice to your friends or to us. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should say sorry and share the bread. That is the right thing to do." + +But the rude swan does not listen. He does not say sorry. He does not share the bread. He just swims away and looks for more bread. He does not learn his lesson. + +Sara and Ben are sad too. They do not like the rude swan. They do not want to feed him anymore. They say to Mom: "Can we go home now? We do not want to see the rude swan again. He is not fun. He is not friendly. He is not a good swan." + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says: "Yes, we can go home now. We will come back another day. Maybe the rude swan will change his mind and be nicer. Maybe he will realize that sharing is caring. Maybe he will make some friends. But if he does not, we will not feed him anymore. We will only feed the good swans. The good swans are beautiful and graceful and gentle. They are the ones we like. They are the ones we love." +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It had green water, brown mud, and many plants and animals. + +"Let's go to the swamp!" Tim said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, we can't!" Sam said. He was careful and scared. "Mom said to mind the swamp. It is dirty and dangerous. We might get lost or hurt." + +Tim did not mind Sam. He wanted to have fun and explore. He ran to the swamp and jumped in. He felt the water splash and the mud squish. He saw a frog, a snake, and a bird. + +"Come on, Sam! It is fun!" Tim shouted. He was happy and excited. + +Sam shook his head. He stayed on the land and watched Tim. He felt worried and angry. He saw a big alligator, a spider, and a nettle. + +"Get out, Tim! It is not fun!" Sam yelled. He was scared and mad. + +Tim did not hear Sam. He was too busy playing. He tried to catch the frog, but it was too flexible. It jumped away and hid.

She let go of the rope and cried. + +A farmer heard her cry and came to help her. He picked her up and took her to his house. He cleaned her wounds and gave her some water. He told her, "You should not lead a pony without asking. Ponies are not toys. They have feelings and needs. You have to be kind and gentle to them. Then they will trust you and follow you." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, farmer. I'm sorry, pony. I was selfish and rude. I will not do it again. Can I say sorry to the pony?" + +The farmer smiled and nodded. He took her to the field and helped her to lead the pony. The pony was calm and friendly. He let Lily pet his nose and stroke his mane.

They splashed each other and made waves. They did not see the mud under the water. The mud was sticky and dirty. It got on their shoes and clothes. + +Soon, Lily and Max felt uncomfortable. Their shoes were heavy and their clothes were wet. They wanted to get out of the puddle. But they could not. The mud held them. They tried to pull their feet out. They struggled and kicked. But they only sank deeper. + +They started to cry. They were scared and cold. They called for help. Mommy heard them. She came to the garden. She saw Lily and Max in the puddle. She was not happy.

She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She felt happy and free when she skipped. She was an independent girl who did not need anyone to tell her what to do. + +One day, a big storm came. It was a hurricane. The wind was very strong and loud. The rain was very wet and cold. The sky was very dark and scary. Lisa's mom and dad told her to stay inside and be safe. They said the hurricane was dangerous and could hurt her. + +But Lisa did not listen. She wanted to skip. She thought the hurricane was fun and exciting. She put on her coat and boots and ran outside. She skipped in the puddles, she skipped in the wind, she skipped in the rain. She laughed and sang and did not care. + +"Lisa, come back!" her mom and dad shouted. "It's not safe out there! You could get hurt or lost!" + +But Lisa did not hear them. She was too far away.

She said she was silly and foolish. She said she did not mean to skip in the hurricane. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would listen to her mom and dad.

They like to play with cars. Sara has a red car and Tom has a blue car. They drive their cars on the floor and make noises. + +"Beep beep! Move, red car!" Tom says. + +"No, you move, blue car!" Sara says. + +They drive faster and faster. They want to win the race. But then, they crash into each other. Their cars flip over and stop. Sara and Tom are sad. They look at their cars. + +"Oh no, my car is broken!" Sara says. + +"Me too, my car is broken!" Tom says. + +They start to cry. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees their cars and their tears. + +"What happened, Sara and Tom?" Mom asks. + +"We crashed our cars, Mom. They are broken. We can't play anymore." Sara and Tom say. + +Mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, Sara and Tom. I can fix your cars. They are not really broken. They just need some tape and glue. And you can still play. Why don't you put on your sweaters and go outside? It is a nice day. You can play with the ball or the bike or the swing." + +Sara and Tom wipe their tears and smile. They like Mom's idea.

He got it for his birthday. But he forgot about it. He left it under the sofa for a long time. + +"No, you can't use it!" Sam says. He runs to the sofa. He grabs the green car. He holds it up.

She walks over to them and takes the mug from their hands. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "This is not how you play. This mug is not a toy. It is for drinking. And it is not yours. It is grandma's. She gave it to me when I was little. It is very special to me. You have to be careful with it." + +"Sorry, mom," Ben and Mia say. They feel bad. They did not know the mug was grandma's. They did not mean to break it. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "It's okay," she says. "I know you did not know. But you have to learn to share and be gentle. How about we make some hot chocolate and drink it from the mug together? Then we can put it back in the box and keep it safe." + +"Okay, mom," Ben and Mia say. They like hot chocolate.

They looked very silly and laughed a lot. + +"Look at us, we are crazy wool monsters," Ben said. He roared and chased Lily around the room. + +Lily giggled and ran away. She hid behind the sofa. "You can't catch me, you crazy wool monster," she said. + +Ben looked for Lily. He saw a bit of wool sticking out from behind the sofa. He sneaked up and grabbed it. He pulled hard and Lily came out.

She wanted to ride the horse. + +"Mom, can I ride the horse?" she asked. + +Mom looked at the horse and the man who was holding it. She said, "OK, but only for a little bit. And you have to wear this helmet." She gave Lily a hard hat that was tight on her head. + +Lily climbed on the horse with the help of the man. She felt very high and happy. The horse walked slowly along the water. Lily heard the waves and the birds. She smiled and waved at Ben, who was watching from the sand. + +Ben was jealous of Lily. He wanted to ride the horse too.

They hug them and clean them. + +"Ben and Mia, why did you fight over the ball?" Mom asks. + +"Because it is not fair! He/she wanted to take it from me!"

It might bite me!" + +Tom said, "It won't bite you. It is just a spider. Look, it is moving to another leaf. It is looking for a patch to make its web.

The water dripped down and made the ground wet. The leaves and flowers stayed green and white. Lily was sad and confused. She did not understand why the tree did not change color. + +Her mom saw what she did and came to her. She explained that the tree was alive and had its own color. She said that Lily should not spray water on the tree because it could hurt it. She said that Lily could spray water on paper or cardboard and make pink pictures there. + +Lily felt sorry for the tree. She hugged it and said sorry. She did not want to hurt the tree. She loved the tree. She asked her mom to help her make a pink picture for the tree. Her mom smiled and agreed. They went inside and got some paper and crayons. They made a beautiful pink picture of the tree and hung it on the wall. Lily was happy and proud. She showed the picture to the tree and said thank you.

They jumped and swung and played on the trees. Tim and Mia laughed and clapped. + +"Look, mom, that monkey is eating a banana!" Tim said. + +"Yes, he is. Do you know what monkeys like to eat?" mom asked. + +"Bananas!" Mia said. + +"That's right. And what else?" mom asked. + +"Um...nuts?" Tim guessed. + +"Sometimes. And also bugs and leaves and fruits," mom said. + +"Yuck! Bugs are icky!" Mia said. + +"Not for monkeys. They observe them and catch them with their fingers or their tongues," mom said. + +"Wow, they are smart!" Tim said. + +"Yes, they are. Monkeys are very clever animals. They can learn and communicate and use tools," mom said. + +"Like us?" Mia asked. + +"Kind of. But we are different too. We have different bodies and languages and cultures," mom said. + +"I like monkeys. Can we observe them more?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to be quiet and respectful. They are wild animals, not pets. They need their space and freedom," mom said. + +"Okay, mom. We will be good," Mia said. + +Tim and Mia observed the monkeys for a long time. They learned a lot and had fun. They loved the zoo. +Lily loved her horse, Spot. She liked to brush his mane, feed him carrots, and ride him around the farm.

Lily said, "Spot, let's go back to the barn and take a nap. You must be sleepy." + +Spot nodded and trotted back to the barn. He found a cozy spot of hay and lay down. Lily got off his back and snuggled next to him. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. + +But not everyone was happy. Max, the other horse in the barn, was envious. He wanted to have a girl like Lily, who would brush his mane, feed him carrots, and ride him around the farm. He wanted to have a friend like Spot, who would nap with him and keep him warm. He felt lonely and sad. + +He decided to do something mean. He walked over to Spot and Lily and nudged them with his nose. He made a loud noise and woke them up. He said, "Hey, you two, get up! This is my spot of hay. Go away!" + +Spot and Lily were startled and scared. They did not know why Max was so angry.

Maybe we can play again sometime," Max said. + +They hugged. They were happy. Mom and Max's mom smiled. They were proud of their kids. + +"Look, Lily. The cashier has a balloon for you. It's blue, your favorite color. You can have it. You were a good girl today," Mom said. + +Lily's eyes lit up. She saw the balloon. She loved the balloon. She took the balloon. She thanked the cashier. She thanked Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, cashier. I love the balloon. It's the best thing ever," Lily said. + +She held the balloon. She jumped and danced. She was very happy. She forgot about the cake and the car. She had the balloon. She had a new friend. She had a good day. She liked the grocery store. It had many colorful things to happen. +Sara and Tom were on a boat with their mom and dad. They liked to see the water and the big ships in the harbor. The harbor was a place where many boats came and went. Some boats were small and some boats were very big. Sara and Tom thought the harbor was interesting. + +"Look, Sara, a fish!" Tom said, pointing to the water. He saw a shiny fish jump out and splash back in. Sara leaned over the boat to see the fish too. She wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Sara," mom said. "Don't fall in the water. The fish might bite you." + +"Bite me?" Sara asked. "Why would the fish bite me?" + +"Because they are hungry, or scared, or curious," dad said. "They have sharp teeth and they don't know you. You have to be nice to the fish and leave them alone." + +Sara nodded. She did not want to be bitten by a fish. She moved away from the edge of the boat and sat next to Tom. They watched the fish and the boats and the birds. They had fun in the harbor. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the sand. They had a big spade that they used to dig holes and make castles. One day, they found something shiny in the sand. It was a ring with a red stone. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said, holding the ring up to the sun. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the ring. "Maybe it is magic!" + +They took turns wearing the ring and pretending to be kings and queens. They felt very special and happy. They forgot about their spade and their castles. + +A man was walking by the beach. He saw the spade lying in the sand. He thought it was ordinary and not very useful. He picked it up and threw it in the trash. + +Lila and Ben did not notice. They were too busy with their ring. They did not know that their spade was gone. They did not know that their spade was not ordinary. It was a treasure that belonged to a pirate who buried it long ago. The pirate was looking for his spade and his ring. He was not happy. He was angry. He wanted his treasure back. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. Sometimes they see a big car on the street. The car is shiny and fast. Tom and Anna wonder who drives the car and where it goes. + +One day, the car stops in front of their house. A man gets out of the car. He has a big smile and a bag. He walks to the door and knocks. Tom and Anna run to the window and peek. They see their mom open the door and hug the man. The man is their dad. He has been away for a long time. + +"Daddy, daddy!" Tom and Anna shout. They run to the door and jump into his arms. He kisses them and says, "Hello, my sweeties. I missed you so much. I have a surprise for you in the car. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, yes!" Tom and Anna say. They are very excited. They follow their dad to the car. He opens the trunk and takes out a big box. He puts it on the ground and opens it. Inside the box, there is a fluffy puppy. The puppy wags its tail and licks their faces. + +"This is your new friend," their dad says. "He is a good and obedient puppy. He will listen to you and play with you. You can name him whatever you want." + +Tom and Anna are very happy. They hug their dad and thank him. They name the puppy Spot. They take him to the backyard and play with him. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They give him water and food. They pet him and cuddle him. They love their new friend. They wonder what other adventures they will have with him. +Tim and Lily are playing in the yard. They see a big box with a hole in it. Tim says, "Look, a trap! Maybe there is something inside. Let's go and see." + +Lily says, "No, Tim, don't go. It could be dangerous. Maybe someone put the trap there to catch us. We should stay away." + +Tim says, "Don't be silly, Lily. It's just a box. Maybe there is a toy or a candy inside. I want to see. Come on, let's go." + +Lily says, "No, Tim, please, listen to me. It's not a good idea. Let's play with something else. We have many useful things here. We have a ball, a bike, a doll, a book. We don't need the trap." + +Tim says, "But I'm curious, Lily. I want to know what's in the trap. Maybe it's a surprise. Maybe it's a gift. Maybe it's a friend. I'm going to ask the trap." + +Lily says, "Tim, no, stop, wait!" But Tim does not listen. He runs to the trap and puts his head inside the hole. He says, "Hello, trap. What are you hiding? Can I see?" + +But then, the trap snaps shut. Tim is stuck inside the box. He cries, "Help, help, Lily, help me! The trap is bad. The trap is mean. The trap hurts me. Get me out, Lily, get me out!" + +Lily runs to the trap and tries to open it. But the trap is too strong. She can't open it. She cries, "Tim, Tim, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. I tried to stop you. But you didn't listen. You didn't listen. Now you're in the trap. Now you're in trouble. What can we do, Tim, what can we do?" + +They both cry and cry. They don't know what to do. They are scared and sad. They wish they had listened to each other. They wish they had played with something else. They wish they had never seen the trap. +Lily and Max liked to play catch with their ball. They threw the ball to each other and ran after it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. Then they had to chase it. + +One day, they saw a big ship on the lake. It had a black flag with a skull and bones. Lily and Max thought it was a pirate ship. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's go catch the pirate ship!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. Pirates are bad and scary," Max said. + +They ran to the shore and found a small boat. They got in and rowed towards the pirate ship. They hoped the pirates would not see them. + +But the pirates did see them. They laughed and shouted. + +"Look, we have visitors! Two little kids in a boat. How original!" + +"Maybe they want to join our crew. Or maybe they have some treasure for us." + +"Let's catch them and find out!" + +The pirates lowered a rope and pulled Lily and Max's boat closer. Lily and Max were scared. They did not want to be caught by the pirates. They wished they had stayed on land. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +But no one heard them. The pirate ship sailed away with Lily and Max on board. They did not know what would happen to them. They hoped someone would come and save them. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play pirates. They had a big box that they pretended was their ship, and they had a map that showed them where to find treasure. One day, they decided to sail to a new island and dig for gold and jewels. + +They took their shovels and buckets and followed the map. They had to cross a bridge, climb a hill, and go through a forest. Along the way, they met a monkey who was very friendly and curious. He followed them and helped them find the way. + +When they reached the spot where the treasure was buried, they started to dig. They found a big chest that was locked with a padlock. They tried to open it, but they couldn't. They needed a key. + +"Maybe the monkey knows where the key is," Ben said. "He lives here, after all." + +"Let's ask him," Lily said. She turned to the monkey and said, "Hello, monkey. Do you know where the key to the treasure is? We want to see what's inside." + +The monkey nodded and pointed to a tree. He climbed up and brought down a shiny key. He gave it to Lily and smiled. + +"Thank you, monkey. You are very compassionate," Lily said. She put the key in the padlock and opened the chest. Inside, there were many gold coins, pearls, necklaces, and rings. They sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, look at all this treasure!" Ben said. "We are rich!" + +He grabbed a handful of coins and put them in his pocket. He also took a necklace and a ring. He didn't share with Lily. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "You are stealing the treasure! We are supposed to share it. We are friends, remember?" + +"I don't care," Ben said. "I want it all for myself. You can have the monkey. He's useless." + +He ran away with the treasure, leaving Lily and the monkey behind. He crossed the bridge, climbed the hill, and went through the forest. He didn't see the big hole in the ground. He fell into it and hurt himself. He dropped the treasure and it scattered everywhere. He couldn't get out. He cried for help, but no one heard him. + +Lily and the monkey heard his cries. They followed the sound and found him in the hole. They looked down and saw him and the treasure. + +"Help me, please!" Ben said. "I'm sorry I was greedy and mean. Please, be compassionate and save me." + +Lily and the monkey looked at each other. They shook their heads. They didn't want to help him. He had been selfish and rude. He had stolen the treasure and hurt their feelings. + +They turned around and walked away. They left him in the hole with the treasure. They went back to the chest and closed it. They decided to leave the treasure where it was. It was not worth losing a friend. + +They sailed back to their ship and played together. They were happy and compassionate. They didn't need treasure. They had each other. And the monkey. +Lila was going to a party with her mom and dad. She wanted to wear her new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked how it spun when she twirled. + +"Can I wear my dress, mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, honey. You look very pretty in it," mom said. She helped Lila put on her dress and comb her hair. + +They got in the car and drove to the party. It was at a big house with a lot of people. Lila saw some of her friends from preschool. They ran to the backyard, where there was a pool and a slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lila said. + +"Okay!" her friends said. + +They climbed up the ladder and slid down one by one. Lila was the last one. She was excited and nervous. She pushed herself down the slide and splashed into the water. + +But the water was deep. Lila couldn't touch the bottom. She felt scared and cold. She tried to swim to the edge, but her dress was heavy and wet. + +"Help! Help!" she cried. + +Mom and dad heard her and ran to the pool. Dad jumped in and grabbed Lila. He lifted her out of the water and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, sweetie?" he asked. + +"I'm okay, dad. But I don't like the deep water. And my dress is ruined," Lila said. + +"It's okay, honey. The water was too deep for you. And your dress can be washed and dried. Don't worry," dad said. + +He wrapped a towel around Lila and took her to mom. Mom kissed her and gave her a cookie. + +"You're brave, Lila. You did a good job calling for help. And you still look very pretty in your dress," mom said. + +Lila smiled and hugged mom and dad. She felt better. She decided to play with her friends on the grass instead of the pool. She still liked her dress, even if it was wet. She liked how it spun when she twirled. +Anna liked to grow flowers in her garden. She had many colors and shapes of flowers. She watered them every day and sang to them. She learned their names from her grandma, who also loved flowers. + +One day, Anna saw a new flower in her garden. It was big and red and had a long stem. She ran to her grandma and asked, "What is this flower, grandma? I never saw it before." + +Her grandma smiled and said, "That is a poppy, Anna. It is a very special flower. It has a long history. Many people grow poppies to remember those who were tough and brave in wars. They wear poppies on their clothes on a day called Remembrance Day." + +Anna looked at the poppy and said, "Wow, that is amazing, grandma. Can I wear a poppy too?" + +Her grandma nodded and said, "Of course, Anna. You can pick one and make a pin out of it. But be careful, the poppy has sharp thorns on its stem. You don't want to hurt yourself." + +Anna thanked her grandma and went to pick a poppy. She was careful not to touch the thorns. She made a pin out of it and put it on her dress. She felt proud and happy. She said to the poppy, "Thank you for being a beautiful flower and for telling me a story. I will remember you and the tough and brave people you honor." +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and act them out. Lily was the princess and Ben was the knight. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a man walking by the fence. He had a big mustache and a grumpy face. He looked at them and said, "What are you doing? Stop making noise! You are bothering me!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the man. They wanted him to go away. They ran inside the house and told their mom. + +Mom came out and saw the man. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Jones. I'm sorry if the kids disturbed you. They were just playing. Do you want to join them? They have some tea and cookies." + +Mr. Jones was surprised. He did not expect mom to be so nice. He felt a little ashamed. He said, "Well, I guess I could join them for a bit. I'm sorry for being grumpy. I had a bad day at work." + +Mom nodded and said, "That's okay. We all have bad days sometimes. Come on, let's go to the garden. The kids will be happy to see you." + +Lily and Ben saw mom and Mr. Jones coming. They were curious. They wondered why mom was talking to the man. They hoped he was not angry anymore. + +Mom said, "Kids, this is Mr. Jones. He lives next door. He wants to join us for some tea and cookies. Can you share with him?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, we can share. Hello, Mr. Jones. Do you like dolls?" + +Mr. Jones smiled. He said, "Hello, Lily and Ben. I used to play with dolls when I was a kid. They are fun. Can I see yours?" + +Lily and Ben showed him their dolls. They told him their names and stories. Mr. Jones listened and played along. He was not grumpy anymore. He was happy. + +They all had tea and cookies. They laughed and talked. They became friends. Lily and Ben liked Mr. Jones. They liked his big mustache. They asked him if they could touch it. He said yes. They tickled him and he tickled them back. + +They had a lot of fun. They forgot about their fears. They learned that sometimes, people who look grumpy are not really mean. They just need someone to be kind and join them. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a shiny ashtray on the table. It is round and silver and has some coins inside. + +"Look, Ben, a treasure!" Sam says. He is eager to take the ashtray and play with it. + +"No, Sam, that is not a toy. That is Mom's ashtray. She uses it to put her cigarettes. She will be angry if we touch it." Ben says. He knows that cigarettes are bad and make Mom cough. + +"But I want it. It is pretty and has money. I can buy candy with it." Sam says. He does not listen to Ben. He takes the ashtray and runs to his room. + +Ben is sad and scared. He does not want Sam to get in trouble. He follows him and tries to take the ashtray back. + +"Give it to me, Sam. It is not yours. You are being naughty." Ben says. + +"No, it is mine. Go away." Sam says. He holds the ashtray tight and pushes Ben. + +Ben falls and hurts his knee. He cries. Sam feels bad. He sees that he made his brother cry. He also sees that he made a mess. The ashtray is broken and the coins are scattered. He hears Mom coming. + +"Sam, Ben, what is going on here?" Mom says. She is angry and worried. She sees the broken ashtray and the crying Ben. + +Sam is sorry. He knows he did wrong. He gives the ashtray and the coins to Mom. He hugs Ben and says he is sorry. + +"I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Ben. I was greedy and selfish. I should not have taken the ashtray. It was not a toy. It was yours. I will not do it again." Sam says. + +Mom is glad that Sam is sorry. She hugs him and Ben. She says she forgives him. She says she loves them both. She says she is proud of Ben for being honest and caring. She says she will help them clean up the mess. She says she will teach them about the value of money and sharing. She says she will also try to quit smoking for their health. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Respect other people's things. Listen to your brother. Say sorry when you make a mistake. Learn from your mistakes. Love your family. +Lila and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and crabs. Sometimes they saw shrimp in the water, but they were too small and fast to catch. + +One day, they saw a big shrimp on a rock. It was high above the water and it had long whiskers and claws. Lila and Sam were curious and wanted to touch it. + +"Can we go see the shrimp, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Be careful, it might pinch you," mom said. "And don't go too close to the edge of the rock, you might fall." + +Lila and Sam nodded and walked slowly to the shrimp. They said hello to it and asked it some questions. + +"Where do you live, shrimp?" Lila asked. + +"What do you eat, shrimp?" Sam asked. + +The shrimp did not answer. It just waved its whiskers and claws and made clicking noises. + +Lila and Sam thought the shrimp was funny and tried to make clicking noises too. They laughed and played with the shrimp until it was time to go. + +"Bye, shrimp, we had fun with you," Lila and Sam said. + +"Bye, kids, come back soon," the shrimp said in its own language. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They loved to slide on the big slide, but sometimes they had to wait for their turn. One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was very little, but it looked fun. + +"Can we try the little slide, Mommy?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, but be careful. It might be too fast for you," Mommy said. + +Mia and Ben ran to the little slide and climbed up the ladder. Mia went first. She slid down very quickly and landed on the grass. She laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Ben wanted to try too. He slid down after Mia, but he did not land on the grass. He landed on a big rock that was hidden under the slide. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Mommy heard Ben's cry and ran to him. She saw that he had a big bump on his head and a cut on his arm. She hugged him and said, "Oh, no, Ben, are you okay?" + +She took him to the car and drove to the doctor. The doctor looked at Ben's bump and cut and said, "Don't worry, Ben, you'll be fine. I'll give you a band-aid and some ice for your head. You were very brave." + +Mommy thanked the doctor and took Ben home. She gave him some juice and a cookie and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt, Ben. Maybe we can go back to the park another day and play on the big slide." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy. But can we check the calendar first? I don't want to go on the little slide again." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big fence. The fence is regular. It is brown and has many bars. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a new thing in the park. It is a big red ball. It is on the other side of the fence. Anna and Ben want to play with the ball. + +"Can we get the ball?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "The fence is too high. We can't jump over it." + +"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," Anna says. She looks around. She sees a man. He is walking a dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail. + +"Excuse me, sir," Anna says. She runs to the man. "Can you help us, please?" + +"What do you need, little girl?" the man asks. + +"We want to play with the ball," Anna says. She points to the ball. "But it is on the other side of the fence. Can you get it for us?" + +The man smiles. He nods. He walks to the fence. He reaches over the fence. He grabs the ball. He gives it to Anna. + +"Here you go," he says. "Have fun." + +"Thank you, sir," Anna says. She hugs the ball. She runs back to Ben. + +"Look, Ben," she says. "We have the ball. We can play with it." + +"Yay," Ben says. He claps his hands. He takes the ball. He throws it to Anna. + +Anna and Ben play with the ball. They are happy. The man and the dog watch them. They are happy too. The end. +Ben and Mia wanted to decorate their dad's head. He was bald and they thought he looked sad. They found some paint and a brush in the garage. They sneaked into his room while he was sleeping. + +"Let's make him look like a clown!" Ben whispered. He dipped the brush in red paint and drew a big smile on dad's face. Mia giggled and took the yellow paint. She made dots all over his head. + +They were having fun until dad woke up. He felt something wet on his skin. He opened his eyes and saw his children holding paint and a brush. He looked in the mirror and saw his face and head covered in colors. + +"What have you done?" he shouted. He was very angry and scared. He grabbed a towel and tried to wipe off the paint, but it was too hard. He had to go to work soon and he looked like a clown. + +Ben and Mia started to cry. They did not mean to make dad mad. They wanted to make him happy. But they did not know that paint was not for decorating people. They wished they had listened to mom and left dad alone. They had made a big mess and a big mistake. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big glass ball that shone with many colors. They called it the rainbow ball. + +One day, they were playing with the rainbow ball in the living room, when they heard a knock on the door. They ran to see who it was, but their mom told them to stay away. She said it was a nosy lady who always asked too many questions. + +"Who is she?" Lily asked. + +"She is from the newspaper. She wants to write about our rainbow ball. She says it is very special and rare," mom said. + +"Why does she want to write about it?" Tom asked. + +"Because she does not believe it is real. She thinks we made it up or bought it from a store. She does not understand that it is a gift from grandma, who found it in a faraway land," mom said. + +Lily and Tom felt angry and sad. They loved their rainbow ball and their grandma. They did not want the nosy lady to take it away or say bad things about it. They decided to hide the rainbow ball under the couch, so the nosy lady could not see it. + +They waited until mom opened the door and talked to the nosy lady. They heard the nosy lady ask many questions about the rainbow ball, but mom did not tell her anything. She said it was a family secret and asked her to leave. + +The nosy lady looked around the living room, trying to find the rainbow ball. She did not see it under the couch, but she saw a small crack in the glass window. She thought the rainbow ball had broken the window and was outside. She ran to the window and looked out, but she saw nothing. + +Lily and Tom giggled behind the couch. They were happy that the nosy lady did not find their rainbow ball. They knew it was real and beautiful and magical. They hugged the rainbow ball and thanked grandma for giving it to them. They did not care what the nosy lady wrote in the newspaper. They only cared about what they believed in their hearts. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with their blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is taller than you!" + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to make a big tower too, but she did not have enough blocks. She looked around and saw a pile of blocks on the shelf. They belonged to their older brother, Tom, who was not home. He had told them not to touch his blocks, because they were special and expensive. + +Lily had a naughty idea. She decided to take some of Tom's blocks and use them for her tower. She thought he would not notice. She climbed on a chair and reached for the shelf. + +"Stop, Lily!" Ben said. "Those are Tom's blocks! He said we can't use them! He will be angry if he sees them!" + +Lily did not listen. She did not trust Ben. She thought he was just jealous of her tower. She grabbed a handful of Tom's blocks and jumped off the chair. But she was not careful. She dropped some of the blocks on the floor. They made a loud noise and broke into pieces. There was a big crack on one of them. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "What have I done? Tom will be so mad at me!" + +Ben ran to her and tried to help her. He picked up the broken blocks and put them back on the shelf. He hoped Tom would not see them. + +"Lily, you should not have taken Tom's blocks. You were naughty. You should have trusted me. I was trying to protect you and Tom. Now you have to tell him the truth and say sorry. Maybe he will forgive you." Ben said. + +Lily felt bad. She knew Ben was right. She had made a mistake. She hugged Ben and thanked him for being a good brother. She decided to tell Tom the truth and say sorry. She learned to trust Ben and respect Tom's things. She also learned to be happy with what she had and not be greedy. She and Ben played with their own blocks and had fun. +Tom and Anna like to play in the woods. They find a big stick and some string. They make a bow and some arrows. They want to hunt for rabbits. + +They walk quietly and look for tracks. They see a rabbit near a creek. Tom pulls the string and aims the arrow. He whispers to Anna, "Shh, be still. I will get it." + +But the rabbit hears them and runs away. Tom misses the arrow. It falls into the creek. Tom is sad. He says, "Oh no, my arrow is gone. It was important to me." + +Anna hugs him and says, "Don't be sad, Tom. We can make another arrow. Or we can play something else. You are important to me." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. Let's go and find some berries. They are yummy and sweet." + +They hold hands and walk to the berry bush. They forget about the bow and the arrow. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw different things with many colors. Lily drew a big sun with yellow and orange. Ben drew a blue car with red wheels. They were happy and quiet. + +But then, Tom came in. Tom was Lily's big brother. He was bored and wanted to have some fun. He saw Lily and Ben's drawings and decided to disturb them. He took a black crayon and scribbled over their pictures. He laughed and said, "Your drawings are ugly!" + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted, "Tom, stop it! You are mean and rude! You ruined our drawings!" They tried to take the black crayon from Tom, but he was too strong and fast. He ran away with the crayon and hid behind the sofa. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben's drawings and Tom's black crayon. She understood what happened and scolded Tom. She said, "Tom, you should not disturb your sister and her friend. You should not destroy their drawings. You should say sorry and help them fix their pictures." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He came out from behind the sofa and apologized to Lily and Ben. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I was bored and silly. I should not have disturbed you and your drawings. Can I help you make them better?" Lily and Ben forgave Tom and nodded. They gave him a new crayon and asked him to join them. They drew new things with many colors. They were happy and quiet again. +Lisa loves to draw pictures with her crayons. She likes to draw flowers, animals, and people. She draws a picture of her mommy and daddy, and she wants to give it to them as a gift. She thinks they will be very happy to see it. + +She finds a big mug in the kitchen. It is blue and has a handle. She thinks it is a good place to hide her picture. She puts her picture inside the mug and covers it with a napkin. She carries the mug carefully to the living room, where her mommy and daddy are sitting on the couch. + +She says, "Mommy, Daddy, I have a surprise for you!" She puts the mug on the coffee table and smiles. Her mommy and daddy look curious. They wonder what is inside the mug. Lisa says, "You have to lift the napkin and see!" She waits for them to reveal her picture. + +Her mommy and daddy lift the napkin and see the picture. They see Lisa's drawing of them, with big smiles and hearts. They are very happy and proud. They say, "Wow, Lisa, this is a beautiful picture! You are such a talented artist! Thank you for this wonderful gift!" + +They hug and kiss Lisa and tell her they love her. Lisa feels happy and warm. She thinks her mommy and daddy are the most attractive people in the world. She thinks her picture is the best thing in the mug. She thinks the mug is a good place to hide surprises. She wonders what else she can draw and hide in the mug. +Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to find a good spot to hide. She saw a big gray rock behind some bushes. She thought it was a perfect place to hide. She crawled behind the rock and waited for Tom to find her. + +Tom counted to ten and then opened his eyes. He looked around the park and tried to guess where Lily was hiding. He saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox, and the fountain. He did not see Lily. He started to walk around and call her name. "Lily, where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice and smiled. She thought she was very clever and that Tom would never find her. She stayed quiet and still behind the rock. She did not know that the rock was not a rock, but a sleeping bear. The bear was very big and very hungry. He had been sleeping for a long time and was waiting for the night to come. + +The bear heard Lily's breathing and smelled her scent. He opened his eyes and saw a small girl hiding behind him. He growled and reached out his paw to grab her. Lily felt something touch her back and turned around. She saw the bear's face and screamed. She was very scared and tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear caught her and bit her. Lily cried and hurt a lot. + +Tom heard Lily's scream and ran to the rock. He saw the bear and Lily and was very shocked and sad. He wanted to help Lily, but he was too small and too late. The bear saw Tom and roared. He chased Tom away from the rock. Tom ran as fast as he could and looked for help. He was very anxious and sad. He wished he had never played hide and seek with Lily. He wished he had stayed with her and protected her. He wished he had never seen the gray rock. +Lily and Ben loved to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snow angels, and snow forts. One day, they saw a big reindeer in the woods. It had brown fur, a long nose, and big horns. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Ben was scared. He thought the reindeer might hurt them. He said, "No, Lily, it is too big and strong. It might have sharp teeth or claws. Let's stay away." + +Lily was not scared. She thought the reindeer was harmless and friendly. She said, "No, Ben, it is just a reindeer. It eats grass and leaves, not people. It might want to play with us. I want to go and see it." + +Lily and Ben argued. They decided to make a bet. They said, "Whoever can touch the reindeer first will win. The loser has to make a snowman for the winner." + +They ran towards the reindeer. Lily was faster and braver. She reached the reindeer first. She touched its nose and said, "Hi, reindeer. I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +The reindeer was surprised and curious. It sniffed Lily and licked her face. It wagged its tail and made a soft sound. It liked Lily. + +Ben was slower and more cautious. He stopped at a distance and watched. He saw Lily and the reindeer become friends. He felt silly and jealous. He said, "Hey, Lily, you win. You can touch the reindeer. But I don't want to make a snowman for you. That is not fair." + +Lily smiled and said, "Don't be mad, Ben. The reindeer is harmless and nice. You can touch it too. It won't hurt you. Come and join us." + +Ben hesitated. He was still scared. But he also wanted to try. He said, "OK, Lily, I will come. But you have to share the reindeer with me. And you have to help me make a snowman for us." + +Lily agreed. She said, "OK, Ben, I will share the reindeer with you. And I will help you make a snowman for us. But you have to say sorry to the reindeer for being afraid of it." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Lily, I will say sorry to the reindeer for being afraid of it. But you have to say thank you to the reindeer for being kind to us." + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Ben, I will say thank you to the reindeer for being kind to us. But you have to say you love the reindeer as much as I do." + +Ben smiled. He said, "OK, Lily, I will say I love the reindeer as much as you do. But you have to say you love me as much as the reindeer." + +Lily hugged him. She said, "OK, Ben, I will say I love you as much as the reindeer. But you have to say you love me as much as the snow." + +They laughed and said, "We love each other as much as the snow and the reindeer." + +They ran to the reindeer and touched it. They said, "Sorry, thank you, and we love you, reindeer." + +The reindeer was happy and proud. It said, "You are welcome, and I love you too, Lily and Ben." + +They played in the snow with the reindeer. They made a big snowman for them. They had a lot of fun. They were the best of friends. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Lila found a big root that looked like a snake. She showed it to Tom and said, "Look, a snake!" + +Tom was scared and ran away. He did not like snakes. He hid behind a tree and said, "No, no, no!" + +Lila laughed and said, "It is not a snake, Tom. It is a root. A root is a part of a plant that grows under the ground. It is not scary, it is funny." + +She took the root and made a mark on the tree with it. She drew a face with eyes, a nose and a mouth. She said, "See, Tom, this is a root friend. He is smiling at you. He is not a snake, he is a root." + +Tom came out from behind the tree and looked at the mark. He saw the face and smiled too. He said, "You are right, Lila. It is a root friend. He is funny, not scary. Can I make a mark too?" + +Lila gave him the root and said, "Yes, you can. Let's make more root friends on the trees. They can keep us company when we play." + +They took turns making marks with the root on different trees. They made happy, sad, angry and silly faces. They had fun and forgot about snakes. They were not lazy, they were creative. +Ben and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they both want the same shirt. It is blue and has a big truck on it. They both say, "It is mine!" + +They start to fight over the shirt. They pull and tug and yell. They do not listen to their mom, who tells them to stop. They make a big mess in their room. They rip the shirt in half. They are both sad and angry. + +Then, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big dog. It is barking and running towards their house. It looks mean and hungry. They are scared. They run to their mom and hug her. They say, "Mom, help us!" + +Their mom says, "Do not worry, boys. The dog is not ours. It is just lost. I will call the animal shelter to come and get it. But you need to learn to be nice to each other. Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. You are brothers, and you should love each other. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Tom nod. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, brother. We will not fight anymore. We will share our toys and our clothes. We love you, mom. We love you, brother." + +They hug each other and their mom. They go to their room and clean up the mess. They find another shirt that they both like. It is green and has a big dinosaur on it. They decide to take turns wearing it. They are happy and proud. + +The moral of the story is: Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. Love is better. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to build things with blocks, cars, and screws. They had a big box of screws that their dad gave them. He said they were old and not good for fixing things, but they were good for playing. + +"Look, Mia, I made a tower with screws!" Sam said, showing his sister his creation. He had stacked many screws on top of each other, making a tall and wobbly tower. + +"Wow, Sam, that's cool!" Mia said, admiring his tower. "Can I help you make it bigger?" + +"Sure, Mia, you can help me. But be careful, don't make it fall!" Sam said, handing her some screws. + +Mia took the screws and added them to the tower. She was very careful, but the tower was very wobbly. She tried to put one more screw on the top, but it was too much. The tower fell down with a loud clatter, making the screws roll all over the floor. + +"Oh no, Sam, I'm sorry, I made your tower fall!" Mia said, feeling sad. + +"It's okay, Mia, it was an accident. We can make another tower later." Sam said, trying to cheer her up. + +But before they could pick up the screws, they heard their mom coming into the living room. + +"What's all this noise?" their mom asked, looking at the mess of screws on the floor. + +"Mama, we were playing with screws, and we made a tower, but it fell down!" Sam explained, feeling embarrassed. + +"Screws? Where did you get these screws?" their mom asked, surprised. + +"Dad gave them to us. He said they were old and not good for fixing things, but they were good for playing." Mia said, feeling embarrassed too. + +Their mom looked at the screws and shook her head. She was not happy. + +"Kids, these screws are not toys. They are sharp and dangerous. You could hurt yourself or damage the floor. You should never play with screws. You should only play with safe toys. Do you understand?" their mom said, sternly. + +"Yes, mama, we understand. We're sorry, mama." Sam and Mia said, feeling sorry. + +Their mom sighed and hugged them. + +"I know you were just having fun, but you have to be careful. Now, help me clean up this mess, and then we can find some other toys to play with. Okay?" their mom said, softly. + +"Okay, mama." Sam and Mia said, nodding. + +They helped their mom pick up the screws and put them back in the box. They decided to never play with screws again. They learned their lesson. They hoped their dad would not be too mad when he found out. They wondered what other toys their dad had that were not good for fixing things, but good for playing. Maybe they would find out another day. But they would ask their mom first, just to be safe. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +But Lily saw a sign near the hill. The sign had a picture of a red cross and some words. Lily could not read the words, but she knew the red cross meant something bad. + +"Wait, Tom!" Lily said. "The sign says no. It warns us to stay away. The hill is broken. It can hurt us." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He did not care about the sign. He ran to the hill and started to climb. He wanted to be brave and curious. + +"Come on, Lily!" Tom said. "Don't be scared. It's easy!" + +Lily was scared. She did not want to climb the broken hill. She wanted to play somewhere else. She called to Tom again. + +"Tom, please come back!" Lily said. "The hill is not safe. It can fall on us. Please listen to me!" + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He climbed higher and higher. He was almost at the top. He felt proud and happy. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw a big rock rolling down the hill. It was coming towards him. He was scared. He tried to run away, but it was too late. The rock hit him and knocked him down. He fell to the ground. He felt pain in his leg. He cried. + +Lily heard Tom cry. She ran to him. She saw the rock and his leg. His leg was broken. She felt sorry and sad. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily said. "I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. The hill was broken. It hurt you." + +Tom looked at Lily. He saw her face and her tears. He felt sorry and sad too. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I did not listen to you. You were right. The hill was broken. It was not fun. It was bad." + +Lily hugged Tom. She tried to make him feel better. She saw some people coming. They were wearing uniforms and hats. They had a big car with a siren. They came to help Tom. They put him on a stretcher and took him to the car. They said they would take him to the hospital. + +Lily went with Tom. She held his hand. She said she was his friend. She said she would stay with him. + +Tom smiled at Lily. He said he was her friend too. He said he was sorry. He said he would listen to her next time. + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and to listen to warnings. They learned that some things are broken and can hurt them. They learned that some things are not worth a march. They learned that friendship is more important than curiosity. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the soldier. The soldier is big and strong and can fight bad guys. Lily and Ben take turns to play with the soldier. + +One day, Lily is playing with the soldier. She makes him run and jump and shoot. She is having fun. Ben is sleepy. He wants to take a nap. He sees the soldier and he wants him. He thinks Lily has played with him for too long. + +Ben goes to Lily and says, "Give me the soldier. It is my turn." Lily says, "No, it is not. I am still playing. Go away." Ben gets angry. He tries to take the soldier from Lily. Lily holds on tight. They pull and tug and shout. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the soldier. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you. You have to share your toys. You can't take things from each other. That is not nice." + +She takes the soldier from them and puts him on the shelf. She says, "No one can play with the soldier until you say sorry and make up. Lily, you can play with something else. Ben, you can take a nap. You are sleepy." Lily and Ben feel sad. They don't want to lose the soldier. They look at each other and say sorry. They hug and make up. Mom smiles and gives them the soldier back. She says, "Good. Now you can play nicely together. And Ben, you can take a nap later if you want." Lily and Ben nod and say thank you. They play with the soldier and other toys. They are happy. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big hill with green grass. Ben and Lily wanted to play on the hill. They ran up the hill and then rolled down. They laughed and had fun. + +They looked at the sky and saw many clouds. Some clouds were white and fluffy. Some clouds were gray and rough. Ben and Lily made shapes with the clouds. They saw a dog, a cat, a bear and a star. + +But then, the gray and rough clouds got bigger and darker. They heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. Ben and Lily got scared. They ran to Mom. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate." Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They liked hot chocolate. They held Mom's hand and walked to the car. They still looked at the clouds, but they were not afraid. They knew Mom would keep them safe. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper. They liked to fold it into different shapes. Lily made a hat, and Ben made a boat. They were having fun. + +Then, Lily saw a whistle on the table. It was shiny and red. She wanted to try it. She took it and blew it hard. It made a loud noise. Ben was surprised and scared. He dropped his boat and covered his ears. + +"Stop it, Lily! That's too loud! You hurt my ears!" Ben shouted. + +Lily did not stop. She liked the noise. She blew the whistle again and again. She laughed and ran around the room. + +Ben was angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He picked up his boat and went to the corner. He folded his arms and frowned. + +Lily saw Ben and stopped. She wondered why he was not playing with her. She went to him and said, "Ben, what's wrong? Don't you like my whistle?" + +Ben looked at Lily and said, "No, I don't. You were very rude. You did not ask me if you could take the whistle. You did not listen to me when I asked you to stop. You did not care about my feelings. You were not a good friend." + +Lily felt sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You're right. I was rude. I should have asked you. I should have listened to you. I should have cared about your feelings. I want to be a good friend." + +She gave the whistle back to Ben and said, "Here, you can have the whistle. I don't need it. I have something better. I have you." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You're very kind. I forgive you. I have something better, too. I have you." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to share the whistle and play with it together. They also shared their paper shapes and made more. They were happy and adorable. + +The moral of the story is: Be respectful and caring to your friends. Don't be selfish and rude. Share and listen. Friendship is more important than things. +Lila and Ben went on a safari with their mom and dad. They saw many big and small animals, like lions, zebras, monkeys and birds. They liked to look at them and learn their names. + +One day, they stopped near a lake to have a picnic. Lila and Ben wanted to play with their ball. They asked their mom and dad if they could go a little bit away from the car. Their mom and dad said yes, but told them to be careful and not go too far. + +Lila and Ben ran with their ball and threw it to each other. They had fun and laughed a lot. But then, Ben threw the ball too hard and it went over a bush. Lila ran after it and saw it drop into the water. She wanted to get it back, but she saw a big crocodile near the ball. She was scared and screamed. + +"Help! Help! Crocodile!" she shouted. + +Ben heard her and ran to see what was wrong. He saw Lila and the crocodile and felt helpless. He did not know what to do. He shouted too. + +"Help! Help! Crocodile!" he echoed. + +Their mom and dad heard them and ran to them. They saw the crocodile and the ball and understood what happened. They grabbed Lila and Ben and took them back to the car. They were safe and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, Lila and Ben?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay. But we lost our ball," Lila said. + +"It's okay, Lila. The ball is not important. You are important. We are glad you are safe," their dad said. + +Lila and Ben nodded and said sorry for being careless. They learned their lesson and did not go away from the car again. They still enjoyed the safari, but they were more careful and listened to their mom and dad. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big ball. They kick the ball to each other. + +One day, a big cloud comes in the sky. The cloud is dark and loud. It makes rain and thunder. Sam and Mia are scared. They run to their house. + +But the ball is still outside. The ball is wet and dirty. Sam and Mia are sad. They want their ball back. + +They wait for the rain to stop. They look at the sky. The sky is still dark. They do not know when the rain will stop. + +Then, they see something. A bright light comes in the sky. It is a rainbow. The rainbow has many colors. It is beautiful and cool. + +Sam and Mia are happy. They smile and clap. They run outside. They get their ball. They play with the ball under the rainbow. They are not scared anymore. They are friends. +Tom was a strong boy who liked to wander. He liked to see new things and have fun. One day, he wandered too far from his home. He saw a big park with many slides and swings. He wanted to play there. + +"Hello, can I play with you?" he asked a girl who was on a swing. + +"No, you can't. This is my swing. Go away!" the girl said. She was mean and did not want to share. + +Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted to swing too. He tried to push the girl off the swing, but she was stronger. She pushed him back and made him fall. He hurt his knee and his stomach. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. He wished he had not wandered so far. He wished he had stayed with his mom and dad. + +He saw a man who was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He thought he was a park ranger. He ran to him and said, "Help me, please! I hurt myself and I don't know where my home is!" + +The man was kind and helped Tom. He gave him a band-aid for his knee and a juice box for his stomach. He asked him his name and where he lived. He called his mom and dad on his phone and told them where to find Tom. + +Tom was happy and relieved. He hugged the man and thanked him. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that wandering can be fun, but also dangerous. He learned that he should always stay close to his mom and dad. He learned that he should be nice and share with others. He learned that he was strong, but not always stronger. +Anna liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to see the flowers and the fruits grow. She liked to water them and pick them. One day, her mom asked her to carry some tomatoes to the kitchen. Anna was happy to do it. + +She took a large basket and filled it with red tomatoes. They were round and shiny and smelled good. She lifted the basket and walked to the house. She was very careful not to drop any tomatoes. She wanted to make her mom proud. + +But on the way, she met a big dog. The dog was black and furry and had sharp teeth. He barked at Anna and ran towards her. Anna was scared and screamed. She dropped the basket and the tomatoes fell on the ground. The dog jumped on them and bit them. He made a mess of the tomatoes. He ruined them. + +Anna ran to the house and cried. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. You are safe. The dog was mean, but he can't hurt you. We can get more tomatoes later." + +But Anna was not okay. She felt sad and angry. She liked the tomatoes. She worked hard to carry them. She wanted to make her mom happy. But the dog spoiled everything. She hated the dog. She wished he would go away. She wished he would never come back. She wished he would be sorry. +Sara and Tom liked to play in the woods behind their house. They made a path with sticks and stones to find their way. They saw many animals and plants on their path. They were happy and curious. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside. They went closer to look. They heard a loud noise. It was a growl. Something was in the hole. It was not happy. It did not like to be disturbed. + +Sara and Tom were scared. They ran away from the hole. They followed their path back to their house. They told their mom what they saw. She said it was a badger. A badger is an animal that lives in a hole. It is not friendly. It is not ordinary. It is fierce and angry. + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They should not disturb animals in their homes. They should respect nature. They should be careful on their path. They should still have fun, but not make trouble. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big dog with a ball in his mouth. He looked friendly and happy. + +"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, but be careful. He is very big," Ben said. + +They ran to the dog and tried to take his ball. The dog did not like that. He growled and barked and bit Lily's foot. Lily screamed and cried. Ben was scared and ran to get help. + +A man came and saw what happened. He had a leash and a collar. He put them on the dog and pulled him away. He said he was sorry and that the dog was his. He said he would take the dog to the vet and make sure he was not sick. + +He looked at Lily's foot and saw blood. He said he would take Lily to the hospital and make sure she was OK. He said he was sorry again and that he hoped she would forgive him. + +Lily was in pain and angry. She did not want to go with the man. She did not want to forgive him. She did not feel grateful. She felt betrayed and hurt. She wished she never saw the dog. She wished she never played in the park. She wished she stayed home with her mom. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big book in the attic. The book has many pictures of food. Lily and Ben want to cook like the book. + +They go to the kitchen and look for things to cook. They find eggs, cheese, bread, and jam. They also find a pot, a pan, a knife, and a spoon. They put everything on the table and open the book. + +"Look, Ben, this is how you make an omelet," Lily says, pointing to a page. "You break the eggs and put them in the pot. Then you add cheese and stir with the spoon. Then you cook it on the fire." + +"OK, Lily, I will try," Ben says. He takes an egg and tries to break it. But he breaks it too hard and the egg spills on the floor. "Oops, sorry, Lily," he says. + +"That's OK, Ben, we have more eggs," Lily says. She takes another egg and breaks it gently. She puts it in the pot and adds cheese. She stirs with the spoon. She looks for the fire, but she does not see it. "Where is the fire, Ben?" she asks. + +"I don't know, Lily, maybe we need matches," Ben says. He looks for matches, but he does not find them. He sees a toaster and thinks it is a fire. He puts the pot on the toaster and pushes the button. "There, Lily, now we have fire," he says. + +Lily and Ben wait for the omelet to cook. They smell something burning. They see smoke coming from the toaster. They hear a loud pop. The pot flies off the toaster and lands on the floor. The omelet is black and hard. Lily and Ben are scared. + +"Mama, Papa, help!" they shout. Mama and Papa come running to the kitchen. They see the mess and the smoke. They are angry and worried. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" Mama asks. "Why are you playing with the toaster and the pot? You could have hurt yourselves or started a fire. You know you are not allowed to cook without us." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They tell Mama and Papa the truth. They say they found a book and wanted to cook like the book. They say they did not know how to make fire or cook an omelet. They say they did not mean to make a mess or a smoke. + +Mama and Papa are still angry, but they are also glad that Lily and Ben are honest. They hug them and tell them they love them. They tell them they will teach them how to cook when they are older and safer. They tell them they have to clean up the mess and say sorry to the toaster. + +Lily and Ben nod and say yes. They help Mama and Papa clean up the kitchen. They say sorry to the toaster and the pot. They say they will not play with the book or the toaster or the pot again. They say they will wait for Mama and Papa to cook with them. They say they will be good and honest twins. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They make a big hill with the sand. They are happy. + +"Look at our hill!" Lily says. "It is so big and wide!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Let's make it bigger!" + +They dig more sand and put it on the hill. They make it wider and wider. They are very busy. + +Then, a big wave comes. It splashes on the sand. It washes away their hill. Lily and Ben are sad. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "Our hill is gone!" + +"Look!" Ben says. He points to the bucket. The bucket is still there. It is full of water. It has a fish inside. The fish is orange and shiny. It swims in the bucket. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "How did the fish get in the bucket?" + +"I don't know!" Ben says. "But it is pretty!" + +They smile. They pick up the bucket. They hold it carefully. They go to show their mom and dad. + +"Look what we found!" Lily says. + +"We found a fish!" Ben says. + +They wear big smiles on their faces. They are happy again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to taste new things. She tasted fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and even some flowers. She thought tasting was fun and exciting. + +One day, she saw a mole in the garden. The mole was digging a hole in the ground. Lily was curious and wanted to taste the mole. She ran towards the mole and tried to catch it. + +"Stop, stop!" the mole cried. "Don't taste me, please! I am not good for you. I am dirty and hairy and I live in the dark. You will get sick if you taste me." + +Lily was surprised and stopped. She looked at the mole and saw that he was right. He was dirty and hairy and he looked troubled. She felt sorry for the mole and let him go. + +"I'm sorry, mole," she said. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to taste you. Why do you live in the dark?" + +The mole sighed and said, "I live in the dark because I am afraid of the light. The light hurts my eyes and makes me blind. I can only see in the dark. That's why I dig holes and hide in the ground." + +Lily felt sad for the mole and said, "That's not fair. You should be able to see the light and the colors and the flowers. They are beautiful and make me happy. Can I help you?" + +The mole smiled and said, "You are very kind, Lily. But I don't think you can help me. I was born this way and I have to accept it. But you can be my friend and visit me sometimes. Maybe you can tell me about the things you see and taste. That would make me happy too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I would love to be your friend, mole. And I will tell you about the things I see and taste. But I promise I will never taste you again. You are not food, you are a friend." + +The mole thanked Lily and said, "You are very wise, Lily. And you have learned a valuable lesson. You should never taste something or someone without asking first. You might hurt them or yourself. You should always respect and care for other living things. They have feelings and needs too." + +Lily agreed and said, "You are right, mole. I have learned a lesson. And I have gained a friend. Thank you, mole." + +They hugged and said goodbye. Lily went back to her house and the mole went back to his hole. They were both happy and looked forward to seeing each other again. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They saw a big pile of newspapers on the table. They wanted to make a fort with them. + +"Let's scatter the newspapers on the floor," Lily said. "Then we can hide under them." + +"Okay," Max agreed. He took a newspaper and threw it on the floor. Lily did the same. Soon, the floor was covered with newspapers. + +They crawled under the newspapers and made a cozy space. They pretended they were in a secret cave. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Lily whispered. "There might be monsters outside." + +They heard a loud noise. It was Mom coming home from work. She opened the door and saw the mess. + +"Oh no, what happened here?" Mom asked. She looked at the empty table and the scattered newspapers. + +Lily and Max peeked out from under the newspapers. They saw Mom's face. She was not happy. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. "We were playing fort." + +Mom sighed. She loved her children, but she did not like the mess. + +"Playing is good, but you have to clean up after yourselves," she said. "Please help me pick up the newspapers and put them back on the table." + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt bad for making Mom upset. They crawled out from under the newspapers and helped Mom tidy up the living room. They learned their lesson. Next time, they would ask Mom before they used the newspapers. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a big truck and a lot of blocks. They want to build a house with the blocks. + +"Let's load the truck with the blocks," Tim says. "Then we can drive to the other side of the garden and make our house." + +"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be careful. The blocks are heavy and the truck is fast." + +They work together to load the truck with the blocks. They put some blocks in the front, some in the back, and some on the sides. The truck is full and heavy. + +"Ready?" Tim asks. + +"Ready!" Mia says. + +Tim starts to drive the truck. He goes very fast. He likes the wind in his hair and the sunshine on his face. He does not see the big rock in the path. He hits the rock and the truck flips over. The blocks fly everywhere. Tim and Mia fall off the truck. They are not hurt, but they are sad and scared. + +"Oh no!" Tim cries. "Our truck is broken and our blocks are gone. We can't build our house now." + +"I told you to be careful," Mia says. "You were going too fast. You did not look where you were going. You were not a good driver." + +Tim feels bad. He knows Mia is right. He was not a good driver. He was not a good friend. He says sorry to Mia. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. You were right. I was going too fast. I did not look where I was going. I was not a good driver. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia sees that Tim is sorry. She is not angry anymore. She is a good friend. She says yes to Tim. + +"Yes, Tim. I forgive you. You are a good friend. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. Next time, we can be more careful and look where we are going. Then we can have more fun and build our house." + +Tim and Mia hug. They are happy again. They pick up the blocks and the truck. They fix the truck and load it again. They drive slowly and carefully to the other side of the garden. They build their house with the blocks. They play in their house and have a tea party. They share their toys and their cookies. They are cute and kind. They are good friends. + +The end. +Lily liked to play on the slide at the park. She went there every week with her mom and dad. They pushed her on the swing, helped her climb the ladder, and watched her slide down with a big smile. + +One day, it rained a lot. The park was wet and muddy. Lily still wanted to go to the slide, but her mom and dad said it was too slippery. They told her to be careful and not to run. Lily nodded, but she was not very good at listening. + +She ran to the slide, holding her teddy bear. She climbed the ladder fast, but when she reached the top, she slipped. She let go of her teddy bear and screamed. She slid down the slide, but not in a fun way. She was scared and hurt. + +Her mom and dad ran to her. They hugged her and checked if she was okay. She had a scratch on her knee and a bump on her head. They cleaned her wound and put a band-aid on it. They gave her a kiss and said they loved her. + +Lily cried and said she was sorry. She said she missed her teddy bear. Her mom and dad looked at the slide and saw the teddy bear still on the top. They smiled and said they had a surprise for her. They climbed the ladder and got the teddy bear. They gave it to Lily and said it was brave and strong. Lily hugged her teddy bear and smiled. She said she loved her mom and dad and her teddy bear. She said she would not run on the slide again. She learned her lesson. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with puzzles. Puzzles have many pieces. You have to put the pieces together. Then you can see a picture. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a new puzzle. It is very big. It has many colors. It has animals and trees and flowers. Lily and Ben think it is a cool puzzle. + +They start to make the puzzle. They look for the pieces that match. They help each other. They have fun. + +"Look, I found the lion!" Lily says. She shows Ben the piece. It has a yellow mane and a brown nose. + +"Wow, that is a cool lion!" Ben says. He finds another piece. It has a green leaf and a red bird. "And look, I found the bird!" + +They put the pieces together. They make the lion and the bird. They make more animals and plants. They make the whole picture. + +They are happy. They have made a cool puzzle. They smile and hug. They are good friends. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many wheels to make them go fast. One day, they find a big wheel in the park. It is bigger than them. They want to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a big wheel!" Sam says. "Let's roll it!" + +"OK, Sam, let's roll it!" Ben says. They push the big wheel. It is heavy, but they are strong. They roll it on the grass, on the path, on the hill. They have fun. + +But then, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. It does not like the big wheel. It thinks the big wheel is bad. It runs after the big wheel. + +"Uh-oh, Ben, a dog!" Sam says. "Let's run!" + +"OK, Sam, let's run!" Ben says. They let go of the big wheel. They run away from the dog. But the big wheel does not stop. It rolls faster and faster. It rolls towards a pond. + +Splash! The big wheel falls into the pond. It sinks into the water. It is gone. + +"Bye-bye, big wheel!" Ben says. He is sad. + +"Me too, Ben, me too!" Sam says. He is sad too. + +But the dog is not sad. The dog is happy. It sees a duck in the pond. The duck is tasty. The dog jumps into the pond. It pokes the duck with its nose. It bites the duck with its teeth. It eats the duck. + +Quack! The duck is gone. + +The end. +Sara and Tom were busy in the yard. They had a big pile of leaves to part. Sara had a rake and Tom had a bag. They worked hard and had fun. + +"Look, Sara, I have a lot of leaves in my bag!" Tom said. + +"Good job, Tom! You are very fast!" Sara said. + +They heard a noise. It was their dog, Spot. Spot ran to the pile of leaves and jumped on it. He made the leaves fly everywhere. + +"Spot, no!" Sara and Tom shouted. + +Spot wagged his tail and barked. He thought it was a game. He ran around the yard and chased the leaves. + +Sara and Tom sighed. They had to part the leaves again. They were not mad at Spot. They loved him. They laughed and played with him. They decided to part the leaves later. They were busy having fun. +Tim and Sam were two dogs who lived on a farm. They liked to run and play in the fields and chase the sheep. The farmer was not happy with them. He said they were bad dogs who scared the sheep and made them run away. He told them to stay in the barn and not to run in the fields. + +But Tim and Sam did not listen to the farmer. They thought he was mean and boring. They wanted to have fun and run in the fields. One day, when the farmer was busy, they sneaked out of the barn and ran to the fields. They saw a big flock of sheep and barked loudly. The sheep were afraid and ran in all directions. Tim and Sam chased them and tried to catch them. + +The farmer heard the noise and saw what was happening. He was very angry and grabbed his gun. He ran to the fields and shouted at Tim and Sam. He said they were very bad dogs and he would shoot them. He aimed his gun at Tim and Sam and pulled the trigger. Bang! Bang! + +Tim and Sam fell to the ground and did not move. They were hurt and bleeding. They could not run or play anymore. They were sorry for what they did, but it was too late. The farmer did not care. He said they deserved it and left them there. Tim and Sam died in the fields. They were not fine. They were very sad. The end. +Anna was a big girl. She was four years old. She liked to play with her toys and her books. But she wanted to join school. She wanted to learn new things and make new friends. + +Her mom said she had to wait one more year. She said school was for five year olds. Anna was impatient. She did not like to wait. She asked her mom every day when she could join school. + +One day, her mom had a surprise for her. She took her to a big building with many rooms. She said it was a preschool. She said Anna could join preschool for a few hours every week. She said preschool was like school, but more fun. + +Anna was happy. She saw many other kids her age. They had toys and books and games. They had a teacher who was nice and friendly. She said her name was Miss Lily. She said she would help Anna learn new things and make new friends. + +Anna joined preschool. She had fun. She learned new things and made new friends. She was not impatient anymore. She was excited. She knew she would join school soon. She knew she was a big girl. +Tom and Mia like to play pretend. They act like they are different people and animals. Sometimes they act like they are pirates, or doctors, or lions. They have fun making up stories and sounds. + +One day, they find a big tent in the backyard. It is their dad's tent. He uses it when he goes camping. Tom and Mia think it is a perfect place to play pretend. They go inside the tent and pretend it is a castle. + +"I am the king of the castle," Tom says. He puts a fake crown on his head. It is made of paper and glitter. "You are the queen, Mia. You have to do what I say." + +"No, I don't," Mia says. She does not like Tom's game. She wants to act like something else. "I am a witch. I have magic powers. I can turn you into a frog." + +Tom laughs. He does not believe Mia. He thinks she is silly. "You are not a witch. You are just my sister. You have no magic powers. You are fake." + +Mia gets angry. She wants to show Tom that she is not fake. She picks up a stick and points it at Tom. She says some words that she makes up. "Abracadabra, hocus pocus, froggy croakus!" + +Tom feels something strange. He feels his legs get short and his skin get green. He feels his mouth get big and his tongue get long. He looks at his hands and sees they are webbed. He is a frog! + +Mia smiles. She is happy. She did it. She turned Tom into a frog. She says, "See, I told you I have magic powers. You are a frog, Tom. You have to hop and ribbit." + +Tom is scared. He does not like being a frog. He wants to be a boy again. He tries to talk, but he can only make frog sounds. He hops out of the tent and looks for help. He sees their dad in the garden. He hops to him and ribbits. + +Their dad sees Tom and is surprised. He recognizes Tom's pitch. He knows it is his son. He says, "Tom, is that you? What happened to you? Why are you a frog?" + +Tom ribbits and points to the tent. He hopes his dad will understand. He hopes his dad will help him. He hopes Mia will change him back. He hopes it is all a game. He hopes it is all pretend. +Lily and Max were playing dress-up in their room. Lily found a red tie in their dad's closet and put it around her neck. She pretended to be a teacher and said, "Class, today we will learn about animals. Who can name an animal that starts with C?" + +Max wanted to play too, but he did not have a tie. He looked at Lily's tie and felt envious. He said, "Lily, can I have your tie? I want to be a teacher too." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, Max, this is my tie. You can find something else to wear." + +Max was not happy. He tried to grab the tie from Lily, but she pulled it away. They started to tug and pull on the tie, making it tighter and tighter around Lily's neck. + +Lily felt the tie choking her and cried, "Max, stop! You are hurting me!" + +Max heard Lily cry and let go of the tie. He saw Lily's face turn red and felt sorry. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Lily loosened the tie and took it off. She rubbed her neck and said, "I'm okay, Max. But you should not be envious of my tie. It's just a thing. We can share it or find something else to play with." + +Max nodded and said, "You're right, Lily. I'm sorry. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Max. We are always friends. Here, you can have the tie. I'll be a doctor instead." + +They hugged and continued to play dress-up, happy and friendly. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. Today they have a big plan. They want to make a zigzag with stones. + +They find many stones on the ground. They carry them to a grassy spot. They start to put the stones in a line. They make the line go left and right, left and right. They make a zigzag. + +"Look, Tom, our zigzag is very long!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it is, Anna. It is the best zigzag ever!" Tom says. + +They are very happy. They run along the zigzag. They jump over the stones. They laugh and have fun. + +But then they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. The dog runs to the zigzag. The dog likes to play with stones. The dog picks up a stone in his mouth. He runs away with it. + +"Hey, dog, stop!" Tom shouts. "That is our stone! That is our zigzag!" + +The dog does not stop. He does not listen. He takes another stone. And another. He makes the zigzag shorter and shorter. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They worked hard to make the zigzag. They do not want the dog to ruin it. + +They run after the dog. They try to get their stones back. But the dog is faster. He runs to his owner. His owner is a lady. She is sitting on a bench. She sees the dog and the children. + +"What are you doing, dog?" she asks. "Why do you have so many stones?" + +The dog wags his tail. He drops the stones at her feet. He thinks he is a good dog. + +Tom and Anna catch up. They are out of breath. They point at the stones. + +"Those are our stones, lady!" Anna says. "We made a zigzag with them!" + +The lady looks at the stones. She looks at the children. She sees their sad faces. She understands. + +"I'm sorry, children," she says. "I didn't know. The dog likes to play with stones. He didn't mean to hurt your zigzag." + +She picks up the stones. She gives them back to Tom and Anna. + +"Here you go, children," she says. "You can have your stones back. You can make your zigzag again." + +Tom and Anna smile. They say thank you. They take their stones. They are ready to make their zigzag again. They are happy. The dog is happy too. He wags his tail. He hopes they will play with him. Maybe they will. Maybe they will be friends. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red balloon tied to a fence. It was shiny and round and had a poppy on it. They wanted to have it. + +"Look, Ben, a poppy balloon!" Lila said. "Let's get it!" + +"But it's not ours, Lila," Ben said. "Maybe someone else wants it." + +"No one is here, Ben. Come on, it's rare and pretty. We can soar with it in the sky!" Lila said. She ran to the fence and untied the balloon. + +"Wait, Lila, don't!" Ben said. But it was too late. Lila grabbed the balloon and it lifted her up in the air. She was happy and laughed. + +"Wow, Ben, I'm soaring! I'm soaring!" Lila said. "Come with me!" + +Ben was scared and sad. He tried to catch the balloon, but it was too high. He shouted to Lila, but she did not hear him. She was too far away. + +"Lila, Lila, come back!" Ben said. "Please, come back!" + +But Lila did not come back. The balloon took her higher and higher, until Ben could not see her anymore. He cried and cried. He did not know what to do. He lost his sister and his friend. He wished he never saw the poppy balloon. He wished Lila never took it. He wished they could play together again. But it was too late. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Sara finds a new doll in her room. It has long hair and a pink dress. Sara loves the new doll. + +"Look, Ben, this is my new doll. Her name is Lily. She is so pretty and soft. Do you want to play with her?" Sara asks. + +Ben looks at the doll. He does not like dolls. He likes cars. He sees a red car on Sara's shelf. He wants to play with the car. + +"No, thank you. I want to play with the car. Can I have the car, please?" Ben asks. + +Sara shakes her head. "No, Ben, you can't have the car. The car is mine. You can play with Lily. She is nice and fun. Please, Ben, play with Lily." + +Ben feels angry. He does not want to play with Lily. He wants to play with the car. He grabs the car from the shelf. He runs away with the car. + +"Ben, stop! Give me back my car! That's not fair!" Sara cries. + +Sara chases Ben. She tries to get the car. Ben runs faster. He does not see the rock on the ground. He trips over the rock. He falls down. He drops the car. The car breaks. Ben hurts his knee. He starts to cry. + +Sara sees Ben crying. She sees the broken car. She feels sad and sorry. She runs to Ben. She hugs him. + +"Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry about the car. I didn't mean to make you angry. I just wanted to share my new doll with you. I love you, Ben. You are my friend." Sara says. + +Ben looks at Sara. He sees her pale face and her wet eyes. He feels bad and sorry. He hugs her back. + +"Sara, I'm sorry too. I was mean and selfish. I didn't want to play with your new doll. I wanted to play with your car. I broke your car. I regret taking your car. I love you, Sara. You are my friend." Ben says. + +Sara and Ben smile at each other. They forgive each other. They decide to play with both the doll and the car. They are happy. They are friends. +Jill and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Jill had a red car and Tom had a blue car. + +"Look, I can go faster than you!" Tom said, zooming his car on the grass. + +"No, you can't! My car is better!" Jill said, chasing him with her car. + +They were having fun, but they did not see a big black cat sneaking behind them. The cat was hungry and wanted to catch a mouse. It saw the toy cars and thought they were mice. + +The cat jumped and pounced on Tom's car, making him drop it. Tom was scared and cried. + +"Hey, leave my car alone!" he shouted at the cat. + +The cat hissed and scratched Tom's hand. Tom cried louder and ran to his mom. + +Jill was angry and brave. She picked up a stick and waved it at the cat. + +"Go away, you bad cat! You are not sweet, you are mean!" she said. + +The cat did not like the stick and ran away. Jill ran to Tom and gave him his car. + +"Are you okay, Tom? I'm sorry the cat hurt you," she said. + +Tom hugged Jill and thanked her. + +"You are my friend, Jill. You saved my car. You are sweet," he said. + +Jill smiled and hugged him back. + +"You are my friend, too, Tom. You have a nice car. Do you want to play some more?" she said. + +Tom nodded and wiped his tears. + +"Yes, let's play. But let's be careful of the cat. Maybe we can make a spell to keep it away," he said. + +Jill agreed and they held their cars and stick together. + +"Cat, cat, go away. Don't come back another day. We have a spell to make you run. Our cars are toys, not your fun," they said. + +They laughed and played again, hoping their spell would work. They were happy and forgot about the cat. +Lily and Max liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of stars and planets. They tried to match the pictures with the stars they saw in the sky. + +One night, they saw something very bright and fast in the sky. It was a comet. A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that flies around the sun. Lily and Max were very excited. They wanted to see the comet again. + +They asked their mom if they could stay up late and watch the comet. Their mom said yes, but only if they did their homework and brushed their teeth first. Lily and Max agreed. They did their homework and brushed their teeth. Then they put on their warm jackets and went outside with their mom. + +They looked at the sky and waited for the comet. They saw many stars and a big moon, but no comet. They started to feel sad and bored. They wondered if the comet was gone. + +Then they heard a voice. It was the comet. It said, "Hello, Lily and Max. I am a playful comet. I like to hide and seek with the stars. Can you find me?" + +Lily and Max were surprised and happy. They said, "Yes, we want to play with you. Where are you?" + +The comet said, "I am behind the big star over there. Can you see me?" + +Lily and Max looked at the star. They saw a faint glow behind it. They said, "Yes, we see you. You are very clever." + +The comet said, "Thank you. Now I will move to another star. Can you follow me?" + +Lily and Max said, "Yes, we will follow you. You are very fun." + +The comet said, "Thank you. Let's play until the sun comes up. But remember, you have to be quiet and respectful of the other stars. They are sleeping." + +Lily and Max said, "Okay, we will be quiet and respectful. We are glad you are our friend." + +The comet said, "I am glad you are my friends too. Let's play." + +Lily and Max played with the comet all night. They matched the comet with different stars and learned their names. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They thanked the comet for playing with them and said goodbye. The comet said goodbye and flew away. + +Lily and Max went back to their mom. They told her about the comet and how playful and kind it was. Their mom was proud of them. She said, "You are very lucky to see a comet and play with it. Comets are rare and special. You are also very smart and polite. You did your homework and brushed your teeth. You were quiet and respectful of the stars. You are good children. I love you." + +Lily and Max hugged their mom. They said, "We love you too, mom. Thank you for letting us stay up late and watch the comet. It was the best night ever." + +The moral of the story is: If you are curious and eager to learn, you can discover amazing things in the world. If you are friendly and respectful, you can make new friends and have fun. If you are responsible and obedient, you can earn trust and love. +Tommy loved to dream. Every night, he would close his eyes and see many things in his head. Sometimes he dreamed of flying like a bird, or swimming like a fish, or playing with his friends. He liked to tell his mom and dad about his dreams in the morning. + +One night, he dreamed of a big, white feather. It was soft and light and tickled his nose. He picked it up and held it in his hand. He wondered where it came from. He looked around and saw a beautiful bird. It had feathers of many colors and a long tail. It looked at him and smiled. + +"Hello, little boy," the bird said. "Do you like my feather?" + +"Yes, I do," Tommy said. "It is very nice. Can I keep it?" + +"Of course you can," the bird said. "It is a gift for you. I have many feathers, and I can share them with you. You are my friend." + +"Thank you, bird," Tommy said. "You are very kind. Can I fly with you?" + +"Sure, why not?" the bird said. "Hold on to my feather and I will take you to the sky. It is fun and harmless. You will see many things." + +Tommy was happy. He held on to the feather and felt the bird lift him up. He flew with the bird and saw the stars and the moon and the clouds. He laughed and sang and felt free. He had the best dream ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a new bicycle near the park. It is red and shiny. It has big wheels and a bell. + +"Wow, look at that bicycle!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to ride it." + +"Me too," Ben says. "But who does it belong to?" + +They look around. They do not see anyone. They guess the bicycle is alone. + +"Maybe we can take turns," Lily says. "You go first, then I go." + +"Okay," Ben says. He runs to the bicycle. He gets on it. He tries to pedal. But the bicycle is too big for him. He falls off. He scrapes his knee. It hurts. He cries. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asks. She runs to him. She helps him up. + +"Ow, ow, ow," Ben says. "This bicycle is rough. It made me fall. I do not like it." + +"I am sorry, Ben," Lily says. "Let me see your knee. I have a band-aid in my pocket." + +She takes out a band-aid. She puts it on Ben's knee. She gives him a hug. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben says. "You are a good friend." + +They hear a voice. It is angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my bicycle?" the voice says. + +They turn around. They see a big boy. He is wearing a helmet and gloves. He looks mad. + +"This is your bicycle?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, it is," the boy says. "And you have no right to touch it. It is mine. Go away." + +He grabs the bicycle. He glares at them. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to fight. They run away. They go back to their homes. + +They do not like the big boy. They do not like his bicycle. They like their own toys. They like each other. They are still friends. +One day, a little boy named Tom and a little girl named Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to play in it. Tom ran to the pile and jumped in, making a loud noise. Lily followed him and tried to jump in too, but Tom pushed her away. + +"No, this is my pile! You can't play here!" Tom said. He was very selfish and did not want to share. + +Lily was sad and angry. She looked around and saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and pretended it was a spear. She crawled behind a tree and waited for Tom to come out of the pile. + +Soon, Tom got bored of the leaves and decided to look for something else to play with. He came out of the pile and walked around the park. He did not see Lily hiding behind the tree. Lily saw him and jumped out, holding her stick like a spear. + +"Roar! I am a lion and you are my prey!" Lily shouted. She ran towards Tom and poked him with her stick. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Tom cried. He dropped to the ground and covered his arm. He looked at Lily and saw that she was smiling. + +"That's what you get for being selfish!" Lily said. She threw her stick away and ran to the swings. + +Tom felt sorry for being selfish. He got up and ran after Lily. He wanted to say sorry and play with her. + +"Lily, wait! I'm sorry! Can we play together?" Tom said. + +Lily stopped and looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry and smiled. + +"Okay, Tom. We can play together. But you have to share and be nice," Lily said. + +Tom nodded and hugged Lily. They went to the swings and had fun. Their mom was happy to see them playing together. She gave them a hug and a cookie. They learned to share and be nice. They were not selfish anymore. +Ben was a bald boy who liked to chew gum. He had many different colors and flavors of gum in his pocket. He liked to blow big bubbles and pop them with his tongue. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He took out a piece of gum and put it in his mouth. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +"Be careful, Ben," his mom said. "Don't swallow your gum." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He sat on the slide and pushed himself down. He felt the wind in his face and the sun on his head. He was having fun. + +But then, something bad happened. His gum got stuck in his hair. He tried to pull it out, but it only made it worse. He felt his hair getting sticky and tangled. He started to cry. + +"Mom, help!" he shouted. "My gum is in my hair!" + +His mom heard him and ran to him. She saw his hair covered in gum. She felt sorry for him. + +"Oh, Ben, what a mess!" she said. "Don't worry, I'll help you." + +She took out a pair of scissors and cut off the gum and the hair. She threw them in the trash. She hugged Ben and kissed his head. + +"There, all done," she said. "You're bald again, but you're still my handsome boy." + +Ben stopped crying and smiled. He hugged his mom and thanked her. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he said. "I won't chew gum on the slide again." + +"That's good, Ben," his mom said. "But you can still chew gum at home, if you want. Just be careful not to swallow it or stick it anywhere." + +Ben nodded and agreed. He learned his lesson. He still liked to chew gum, but he was more careful with it. He also liked to be bald, because it made him feel cool and free. He and his mom went home, happy and loving. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Sara liked to brush Lily's hair and make her look pretty. + +One day, Sara decided to bathe Lily. She filled the sink with water and put some soap in it. She took off Lily's dress and put her in the sink. She rubbed the soap on Lily's hair and body. She thought Lily would like it. + +But Lily did not like it. Lily was not a real doll. She was a battery-operated doll. She had a voice and could talk and sing. When Sara put her in the water, Lily started to make loud noises. She said, "Help! Help! I don't like water! Water is bad for me! Turn me off! Turn me off!" + +Sara was scared. She did not know what to do. She tried to take Lily out of the water, but Lily was slippery and wet. She dropped Lily on the floor. Lily kept making noises and saying, "Help! Help!" + +Sara's mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw Sara and Lily on the floor. She saw the water and the soap in the sink. She understood what happened. She picked up Lily and dried her with a towel. She turned her off and took out the batteries. She said, "Sara, you should not bathe Lily. She is not a real doll. She has batteries and wires inside her. Water can damage her and make her stop working. You have to be careful with your toys." + +Sara felt embarrassed. She did not know Lily was not a real doll. She did not mean to hurt her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to make her clean and happy. I love her." + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "I know, sweetie. I know you love her. But you have to learn how to play with different toys. Some toys can go in the water, like rubber ducks and boats. Some toys cannot, like Lily and cars. You have to read the labels and ask me if you are not sure. OK?" + +Sara nodded and said, "OK, Mom. I will do that. Can I play with Lily again?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's put her dress back on and let her dry. Then, you can play with her in your room. And maybe, you can sing a song with her. She likes that." + +Sara smiled and said, "OK, Mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now, let's go." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they decided to have a contest. Who could chew the most leaves from the trees? + +"I can chew more than you," said Anna. She picked a green leaf from a low branch and put it in her mouth. She made a face. It was bitter and tough. + +"No, I can chew more than you," said Ben. He picked a yellow leaf from another tree and bit it. He spit it out. It was dry and dusty. + +They tried different leaves from different trees, but none of them tasted good. They started to feel sick and thirsty. They looked at each other and frowned. + +"Maybe this was a bad idea," said Anna. + +"Yeah, maybe we should stop," said Ben. + +They threw away the leaves and ran to the house. They drank some water and ate some cookies. They felt better and smiled. + +"Next time, let's have a different contest," said Anna. + +"Like what?" asked Ben. + +"Like who can hug the most trees," said Anna. + +"That sounds fun," said Ben. + +They hugged each other and laughed. They loved trees, but not for chewing. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys in the bathtub. One day, they have many bubbles and rubber ducks. Lily has a pink duck and Ben has a blue duck. They are happy. + +But then, Ben sees Lily's pink duck. He thinks it is prettier than his blue duck. He wants to have it. He waits for Lily to look away. Then he steals her pink duck and puts it in his side of the bathtub. He smiles. + +Lily turns around and sees that her pink duck is gone. She looks for it in the bubbles. She cannot find it. She feels sad. She asks Ben, "Where is my pink duck? Did you see it?" + +Ben lies and says, "No, I did not see it. Maybe it went under the water. Or maybe it flew away." He hides the pink duck behind his back. + +Lily does not believe him. She says, "Show me your hands. I think you have my pink duck. Give it back to me. It is mine. You are a bad brother. You stole my pink duck." + +Ben feels guilty. He knows he did something wrong. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I wanted your pink duck. It is so clean and shiny. But it is yours. Here, take it back. I will not steal from you again. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily takes her pink duck and hugs it. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. But do not steal from me again. It is not nice. We can share our toys. Do you want to play with my pink duck for a while?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. And you can play with my blue duck. It is also clean and fun. We can make them swim and quack together. We are good twins. We love each other." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug. They play with their ducks in the bathtub. They are happy. +Tom and Ann are twins.

He looks at the doll. She has long hair and a pretty dress. He likes the doll. He finds a comb on his shelf. He wants to comb the doll's hair. + +But the comb is old and broken. It has sharp teeth. Tom does not know that. He starts to comb the doll's hair. But the comb pulls and tears the hair. The doll's hair falls out. The doll looks ugly. Tom is scared. He hears Ann knocking on the door. + +"Tom, open the door! I want my doll!" Ann says. + +Tom does not want to open the door. He does not want to show Ann the doll. He does not know what to do. He is sorry. He wishes he did not take the doll. He wishes he played with his car. He wishes he was nice to Ann. He learns a lesson. He learns to share and care. +Tom and Lily were playing with their marbles in the garden. They liked to roll them on the grass and see who could make them go the farthest. Sometimes they traded marbles with each other, or gave them names and stories. + +One day, they found a shiny marble that looked like a rainbow. It was very pretty and they both wanted it. They decided to share it and take turns playing with it. But they also wanted to keep it for themselves. + +"Can I have the rainbow marble now?" Lily asked Tom, who was holding it in his hand. + +"No, it's my turn. You had it before," Tom said. + +"But you had it for a long time. I only had it for a little bit," Lily said. + +They started to argue and pull on the marble. They were both angry and bitter. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +Suddenly, the marble slipped from their fingers and flew into the air. It went higher and higher, until they could not see it anymore. It was gone. + +They looked at each other with sad eyes. They felt sorry for what they had done. They had lost their rainbow marble and their fun. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I should have let you have the marble," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I should have shared it with you," Tom said. + +They hugged and made up. They decided to play with their other marbles and be nice to each other. They hoped that the rainbow marble would find a good home somewhere. Maybe it would make someone else happy. +Ben likes to ride his bike. He rides fast and far. He has a red bike with a bell and a basket. He puts his tools in the basket.

The dog stops and runs away. The farmer picks up Ben and puts him on his bike. + +"Are you okay, little boy?" he asks. + +"Yes, thank you, mister. You saved me from the scary dog," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, little boy. What is your name?" he asks. + +"My name is Ben. I like to ride my bike and fix things with my tools," Ben says. + +"That's nice, Ben. I like to fix things too. I have a farm with animals and plants. Do you want to see my farm?" he asks. + +"Yes, please, mister. That sounds fun," Ben says. + +The farmer takes Ben to his farm. He shows him his cows, his pigs, his chickens and his crops. He lets Ben feed the animals and water the plants. He teaches Ben how to use his shovel and his rake. Ben has a lot of fun. He learns new things.

The rhinoceros is eating grass. Anna and Ben are curious. They go closer to the rhinoceros. + +"Hello, Mr. Rhinoceros," Anna says. "What is your name?" + +The rhinoceros looks at Anna and Ben. He snorts. He says, "My name is Rocco. I am lonely. I want to marry a nice rhinoceros lady." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for Rocco. They want to help him. They think of a plan. + +"Mr. Rhinoceros, we know where you can find a nice rhinoceros lady," Ben says. "She lives in the zoo. She is also gray and big. She likes to eat grass too. Do you want to meet her?" + +Rocco nods. He says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind. How can I go to the zoo?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They say, "We can take you there. We have a big red wagon. You can sit in the wagon. We can pull you to the zoo. It is not far. Come on, let's go!" + +Rocco agrees. He gets in the wagon. Anna and Ben pull the wagon.

We helped two rhinoceroses marry. We are good friends." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for roots. Roots were brown and long and sometimes had bugs on them. Tom and Lily thought roots were fun. + +One day, they found a big root that looked like a snake. Tom wanted to pull it out, but Lily was scared. She said, "No, Tom, leave it alone. It might bite you." + +Tom said, "Don't be silly, Lily. It's not a snake, it's a root. Watch me, I'll show you." He grabbed the root and pulled hard. The root did not move. Tom pulled harder. The root still did not move. Tom pulled with all his might. The root finally came out, but it was not a root. It was a hose. + +The hose was connected to a sprinkler. When Tom pulled the hose, he turned on the sprinkler. Water sprayed everywhere. Tom and Lily got wet. They screamed and ran away. + +Grandpa was sitting on the porch. He saw what happened. He was grumpy. He did not like water on his lawn. He shouted, "Tom, Lily, what have you done? You've made a mess. Come here right now." + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They did not mean to make Grandpa angry. They walked slowly to the porch. They said, "We're sorry, Grandpa. We thought it was a root. We were just playing." + +Grandpa looked at them. They were wet and muddy and sad. He felt sorry for them too. He said, "Well, I guess it was an honest mistake. But you should be more careful next time. And you should ask before you dig in the garden. You might hurt the plants." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, Grandpa. We'll be more careful next time. And we'll ask before we dig." + +Grandpa smiled. He said, "That's good. Now, why don't you go inside and get dry. And then you can have some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They said, "Thank you, Grandpa. We love you." + +They hugged Grandpa and ran inside. Grandpa watched them go. He was not grumpy anymore. He was proud of them. He applauded. He said, "Well done, Tom and Lily. You're good kids." +Lila and Ben are twins, but they are very unique. Lila likes to paint and sing, and Ben likes to run and climb. One day, they go to the park with their mom and dad. They see a big trail that goes into the woods. + +"Let's go on the trail!" Ben says. He runs to the trail and starts to follow it. + +"Wait for me!" Lila says. She runs after him, but she stops to look at the flowers and the birds. She sees a butterfly with many colors. She tries to catch it, but it flies away. + +"Come on, Lila!" Ben calls. He is far ahead on the trail. He sees a big rock and wants to climb it. + +Lila hears him and runs faster. She does not want to lose him. She sees the rock and Ben on top of it. He waves to her. + +"Look, Lila! I can see the whole park from here!" Ben says. + +Lila climbs the rock and joins him. She looks around and sees the trees, the pond, the playground, and their mom and dad. She smiles. + +"It is very pretty!" Lila says. + +They hug and sit on the rock. They are happy. They are unique, but they are also the same. They are twins. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, and animals. Lily had a pink car and Ben had a blue plane. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud sound outside. It was like a big wind that made everything shake and fly. They looked out the window and saw a big, dark, and scary thing. It was a tornado! + +"Mommy, Daddy, what is that?" Lily asked, feeling afraid. + +"It's a tornado, sweetie. It's a very strong wind that can make a lot of damage. We have to go to the basement right now. Come on, grab your toys and follow us," Mommy said, holding Lily's hand. + +Ben did not want to leave his plane. He loved his plane. It was a gift he received from his grandma for his birthday. He did not want to lose it. + +"But I want my plane, Mommy. It's my favorite toy. Please, can I take it?" Ben said, holding his plane tightly. + +"No, honey, you can't. It's too big and heavy. We have to hurry. The tornado is coming closer. You can play with it later, I promise," Mommy said, trying to pull Ben away. + +Ben was very sad and angry. He did not want to leave his plane. He did not listen to Mommy. He ran to the couch and hid under it with his plane. + +"Ben, come out of there. It's not safe. The tornado can break the house and hurt you. Please, listen to me," Mommy said, crying. + +But Ben did not come out. He stayed under the couch with his plane. He did not hear Mommy. He did not hear the tornado. He did not hear anything. + +The tornado came and hit the house. It made a lot of noise and broke everything. It lifted the couch and threw it away. It lifted Ben and his plane and threw them away too. + +Lily, Mommy, and Daddy were in the basement. They were scared and worried. They hoped Ben was okay. They hoped the tornado would stop soon. + +The tornado stopped after a while. It moved away and left a lot of mess behind. Lily, Mommy, and Daddy came out of the basement. They looked for Ben and his plane. They found them in the backyard. They were very dirty and smelly. They had mud, grass, and trash all over them. Ben was crying and his plane was broken. + +"Ben, are you okay? We were so scared. Why did you not come with us?" Mommy asked, hugging Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was stupid. I wanted my plane. But now it's gone. It's broken. I don't have my plane anymore," Ben said, sobbing. + +"It's okay, Ben. We're glad you're alive. We love you more than any toy. We can get you a new plane. But you have to promise us something. Next time, when there is a tornado, you have to listen to us and come with us. Okay?" Daddy said, wiping Ben's tears. + +"Okay, Daddy. I promise. I'm sorry. I love you too," Ben said, nodding. + +Lily gave Ben a kiss and a hug. She gave him her pink car. She said, "Here, Ben. You can have my car. It's not broken. It's pretty. You can play with it until you get a new plane." + +Ben smiled and thanked Lily. He took her car and played with it. He felt better. He learned a lesson. He learned that toys are not more important than family. He learned that tornadoes are very dangerous and he has to be careful. He learned that sometimes he has to give up something he loves for something he needs. He learned that his sister is very nice and generous. He learned that he is very lucky and loved. +Lily was a girl who liked to try new things. She liked to try new foods, new games, and new friends. One day, she saw a rat in the park. The rat was brown and furry, and had a long tail. Lily wanted to try to pet the rat. + +"Hello, rat," Lily said. "Can I touch you?" + +The rat looked at Lily and squeaked. It did not like people. It wanted to run away. But Lily was faster. She reached out her hand and grabbed the rat by the tail. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the rat cried. "Let me go, let me go!" + +Lily felt the rat wiggle and bite. She was scared and hurt. She let go of the rat and started to cry. + +"Mommy, mommy!" Lily called. "The rat bit me!" + +Lily's mommy heard her and ran to her. She saw the rat run away and the blood on Lily's hand. She hugged Lily and took her to the nurse. + +"Lily, why did you try to pet the rat?" Lily's mommy asked. "Rats are not available for petting. They are wild and dirty and dangerous. You should never try to pet a rat." + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She learned her lesson. She did not want to try to pet a rat again. She wanted to try something else. Something safer and nicer. Like a bunny. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to sign to each other, because they learned it from their mom, who was deaf. They had a lot of fun making signs for different animals, colors, and things. + +Suddenly, they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It was spinning and roaring, and it looked scary. It was a tornado, and it was coming closer and closer to their house. + +"Look, Lily, a tornado!" Tom signed, pointing at the cloud. "We have to go inside, now!" + +Lily nodded, and they ran to the door. But the door was locked. Their mom had gone to the store, and she had the key. They had no way to get in. + +They were scared and cold. They looked around for a safe place to hide. They saw a big tree, with a hole in its trunk. Maybe they could fit inside. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the tree!" Tom signed, grabbing her hand. "Maybe the tornado won't find us there!" + +They ran to the tree, and crawled into the hole. It was dark and cozy, and they hugged each other. They hoped their mom would come back soon. She was dependable, and she always took care of them. + +They heard the tornado getting louder and louder. It sounded like a train, or a monster. They closed their eyes, and prayed. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had come back, and she had seen the tornado. She had called the firemen, and they had come to help. They had a big truck, with a ladder, and a loud horn. + +"Tom, Lily, where are you?" their mom shouted, using her voice and her signs. "Are you okay?" + +Tom and Lily peeked out of the hole. They saw their mom, and the firemen, and the truck. They were so happy to see them. They waved, and signed, "We're here, we're okay!" + +Their mom ran to the tree, and hugged them. She was crying, and smiling, and signing, "I love you, I love you, I love you!" + +The firemen helped them get out of the hole, and into the truck. They gave them blankets, and water, and candy. They were nice, and brave, and friendly. + +The tornado had passed, and it had not hurt their house. It had only broken some branches, and some fences, and some toys. They were lucky, and grateful, and relieved. + +They went back to their house, and thanked the firemen. They hugged their mom, and told her what had happened. They told her how they had used their signs, and their tree, and their faith. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that signs can save lives, that trees can be shelters, and that moms can be heroes. They learned that they were strong, and smart, and loved. They learned that they were dependable, too. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big bridge in the park. They can cross the bridge and see the ducks in the pond. They think the ducks are funny and cute. + +One day, Tom and Jen want to feed the ducks. They bring some bread from home. They cross the bridge and break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces into the water. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. They make loud noises. Tom and Jen laugh. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog sees the bread and the ducks. The dog likes bread and ducks. The dog thinks they are tasty. The dog runs to the bridge and barks. Tom and Jen are scared. They drop the bread and run away. The dog chases them. + +Tom and Jen pray. They pray that the dog will not catch them. They pray that someone will help them. They pray that they will be safe. They run to the other side of the bridge. They see a man. The man is wearing a blue shirt. The man is holding a leash. The man is the dog's owner. + +The man sees the dog and the children. He calls the dog's name. He pulls the leash. The dog stops running. The dog comes back to the man. The man says sorry to Tom and Jen. He says the dog is friendly but playful. He says the dog did not mean to scare them. He says he will keep the dog away from the bridge and the ducks. + +Tom and Jen are happy. They are not scared anymore. They thank the man. They thank God. They hug each other. They go back to the bridge. They see the ducks. The ducks are still eating the bread. Tom and Jen smile. They say goodbye to the ducks. They go home. They tell their moms and dads about their adventure. They say they learned a lesson. They say they will always pray and be careful. They say they will always be friends. +Ben likes to nap after lunch. He has a soft bed and a blue blanket. He also has a pen that he uses to draw pictures. He draws cars, dogs, and stars. He is very proud of his pen. + +One day, Ben is napping with his pen in his hand. He is dreaming of flying in a car with his dog. He is happy and calm. But then, he hears a loud noise. He wakes up and sees his sister, Jen. Jen is holding his pen and laughing. She has drawn on his face and his blanket. She has drawn silly things, like a pig nose and a spider web. + +Ben is very angry and sad. He says, "Jen, you are rude! Give me back my pen! You ruined my nap and my pictures!" Jen says, "No, I won't! It's my pen now! You are a baby who naps all the time!" She runs away with his pen. + +Ben cries and calls for his mom. His mom comes and sees what Jen has done. She says, "Jen, you are in trouble! You have to say sorry to Ben and give him back his pen. You have to wash his face and his blanket. You have to be nice to your brother. He is not a baby, he is a big boy who needs his nap." + +Jen says sorry to Ben and gives him back his pen. She washes his face and his blanket. She says, "Ben, I won't do it again. I was bored and wanted to play. Can we play together after your nap?" Ben says, "OK, Jen. But don't touch my pen. It's mine and I love it." Jen says, "OK, Ben. I love you." They hug and make up. Ben goes back to his nap and dreams of flying in a car with his dog. He is happy and calm. +Ben and Mia were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They wanted to have fun, but they did not know what to do. They looked around the house for something to play with. + +They saw a big pool in the backyard. It was filled with water and had a slide and a raft. It looked like fun. Ben and Mia decided to sneak out and play in the pool. They did not tell their mom or dad. + +They put on their swimsuits and ran to the pool. They climbed the slide and slid down into the water. They splashed and laughed and had a good time. They did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They looked up and saw lightning. They got scared. They wanted to go back inside, but they did not know how. The pool gate was locked and they did not have the key. They started to cry. + +They heard their mom's voice. She was calling them from the house. She had seen them on the camera. She was angry and worried. She came to the pool and opened the gate. She took them inside and dried them off. She scolded them for being naughty and dangerous. She said they could have been hurt by the storm. + +Ben and Mia felt bad. They said they were sorry. They regretted going to the pool. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They learned their lesson. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. She hugged them back and said she loved them too. She said they could play with their toys or watch a movie instead. They agreed and smiled. They were happy to be safe and warm. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. Sara wanted to look inside the hole. Ben said, "No, don't touch it. It might be dirty or have bugs." + +But Sara did not listen. She put her hand in the hole and felt something. It was a note. She pulled it out and read it. It said, "If you find this note, you are very unlucky. Something bad will happen to you today. Ha ha ha!" + +Sara was scared. She showed the note to Ben. Ben said, "That's a mean note. Someone is trying to scare you. Don't believe it. It's just a joke." + +But Sara did not feel better. She felt unusual. She felt like something bad was going to happen. She wanted to go home. + +They started to walk back to their house. But on the way, a big dog came out of nowhere and barked at them. It was angry and hungry. It chased them and bit Sara on the leg. Sara screamed and cried. Ben ran to get help. + +Sara had to go to the hospital. She had a big wound and a lot of pain. She wished she had listened to Ben and not touched the hole. She learned that sometimes it is better to be careful and not be too curious. + +The moral of the story is: Don't touch things that you don't know. They might be dangerous or harmful. Listen to your friends who try to protect you. They know what is best for you. +Tom was a spider who liked to make cobwebs. He made them in the corners of the house, where he could catch flies and bugs. He was proud of his cobwebs, because they were big and strong and shiny. + +One day, he saw a new spider in the house. Her name was Lily, and she was very different from Tom. She was smaller and faster and had bright colors on her back. She also made cobwebs, but they were not like Tom's. They were small and round and had patterns on them. + +Tom was curious about Lily and her cobwebs. He wanted to talk to her and see how she made them. But he was also shy and afraid. He thought Lily might not like him or his cobwebs. He thought she might laugh at him or run away. + +But Lily was not like that. She saw Tom watching her and smiled. She said hello and asked him his name. She told him she liked his cobwebs and asked him how he made them. She said she was new in the house and wanted to make friends. + +Tom felt happy and surprised. He said hello and told her his name. He told her how he made his cobwebs and asked her how she made hers. He said he was glad to meet her and wanted to be friends. + +They talked and laughed and showed each other their cobwebs.

They decided to join their cobwebs and make a big one together. They were happy and proud of their cobweb, because it was different and beautiful and theirs. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found seeds, sometimes they found shiny things. + +One day, they found a big rock. It was brown and hard and heavy. Lila and Ben tried to lift it, but it was too heavy for them. + +"Wow, look at this rock!" Lila said. "It is so big and strong. I wonder what is inside it." + +"Maybe there is a treasure inside it," Ben said. "Maybe there is gold or jewels or candy." + +They decided to break the rock and see what was inside. They looked for a stick or a hammer, but they could not find anything. They tried to hit the rock with their hands, but it hurt. + +They were about to give up, when they saw a man walking by. He had a big tool in his hand. It looked like a hammer, but bigger and sharper. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lila said. "Can you help us? We want to break this rock and see what is inside." + +The man looked at the rock and smiled. He was a humble man. He did not have much money or fancy clothes, but he liked to help people. + +"Sure, I can help you," he said. "But you have to be careful. This rock is very old and it might rot. It might have bugs or dirt or bad smells inside. Are you sure you want to see?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They were curious and brave. They wanted to see what was inside the rock. + +The man used his tool to hit the rock. It made a loud noise and sparks flew. He hit it again and again, until the rock cracked open. + +Lila and Ben looked inside the rock. They gasped. There was no treasure inside. There was only more rock. It was gray and dull and smooth. + +"Is this it?" Lila asked. "Is this all there is?" + +The man nodded. "Yes, this is it. This is all there is. Sometimes, things are not what they seem. Sometimes, things are just what they are." + +Lila and Ben felt disappointed. They had hoped for something more. They thanked the man for his help and gave him a hug. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything has a treasure inside. They learned that some things are just rock. And they learned that some people are humble and kind. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big bush with many blueberries. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, blueberries!" Lily said. "Let's pick some and share." + +"OK, Lily, but we have to hurry. Mom said we have to be home soon." Ben said. + +They ran to the bush and started to pick the blueberries. They were sweet and juicy. They filled their hands and mouths with them. + +But they did not see the big bear behind the bush. The bear was also hungry and wanted to eat some blueberries. He saw the two children and growled. + +Ben and Lily heard the growl and turned around. They saw the bear and were very scared. They dropped the blueberries and screamed. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben said. + +They tried to run away, but the bear was faster. He caught them and ate them. He was not calm. He was angry and hungry. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to hide and seek. + +One day, Tom said, "Let's play hide and seek. I will hide and you will seek. Count to ten and then find me." + +Lily said, "OK, Tom. I will find you. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" + +Lily looked for Tom behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. But she could not find him. She called his name, but he did not answer. She started to feel sad and scared. Where was Tom? + +She ran to the gate and saw a big car. The car had a sign that said "News". She saw a man with a camera and a woman with a microphone. They were talking to a policeman. The policeman had a picture of Tom. Lily ran to them and asked, "Where is Tom? Is he OK?" + +The woman looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, little girl. We have bad news. Tom is gone. He disappeared. Someone took him away. We don't know who or where. We are trying to find out. Do you know Tom?" + +Lily nodded and started to cry. She said, "Tom is my best friend. We were playing hide and seek. He hid and I could not find him. I want him back. I miss him. Please find him. Please." + +The woman hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. We will do our best. But it is tough. It is very tough. Sometimes, bad things happen and we don't know why. Sometimes, we lose the ones we love and we can't get them back. Sometimes, there is no happy ending. Only sad ending." +Sam liked to watch the fisherman by the lake. He wanted to learn how to catch fish too. He asked his dad if he could go with him one day. + +"Sure, Sam. But you have to be very patient and quiet. Fish are shy and smart. They don't like noise and movement," his dad said. + +Sam nodded and smiled. He was very excited. He got his hat and his coat and followed his dad to the lake. They found a good spot and sat down. His dad gave him a rod and a worm. He showed him how to put the worm on the hook and how to throw the line into the water. + +"Now, you have to wait and watch. When you feel a tug, you have to raise the rod quickly and pull the fish in," his dad explained. + +Sam did as he was told. He waited and watched. He waited and watched. He waited and watched. But he felt nothing. He started to get bored and restless. He looked around and saw other things. He saw a duck, a frog, a butterfly, a flower. He wanted to touch them and play with them. He forgot about the fish. + +"Sam, be still. You're scaring the fish away," his dad whispered. + +Sam tried to be still. But he couldn't. He was too curious and impatient. He moved his rod and his feet. He made noises and splashes. He scared the fish away. + +"Sam, stop it. You're ruining our fishing," his dad said, a little louder. + +Sam felt bad. He didn't want to ruin his dad's fishing. He wanted to make him happy. He wanted to catch a fish too. He looked at his rod and his line. He saw something. He felt something. He felt a tug. + +"Dad, dad, I got one! I got a fish!" he shouted. + +He raised the rod quickly and pulled the fish in. He saw a big, shiny, wet fish on his hook. He was amazed and proud. He showed it to his dad. + +"Wow, Sam, you did it! You caught a fish! That's a great catch! I'm so proud of you!" his dad said, smiling and hugging him. + +Sam smiled and hugged him back. He was happy. He learned how to catch a fish. He made his dad happy. He liked fishing with his dad. He wanted to do it again. +Lily liked to make things with thread. She had many colors of thread in a box. She could make bracelets, necklaces, and rings with thread. She liked to give them to her friends and family. + +One day, she wanted to make a necklace for her mom. She picked a pink thread and a blue thread. She twisted them together to make a pretty pattern. She looked for a bead to put in the middle. She saw a shiny bead on the table. It was round and white and had a hole in it. + +Lily reached for the bead, but then she heard a noise. It was her cat, Snowy. Snowy saw the bead too. He thought it was a toy. He jumped on the table and tried to catch the bead with his paw. He knocked over the box of thread and made a mess. + +Lily was sad and angry. She said to Snowy, "No, Snowy, that is not your toy. That is my bead. I need it for my necklace. Please give it back to me." But Snowy did not listen. He ran away with the bead in his mouth. + +Lily chased after Snowy. She followed him to the kitchen. She saw him on the floor, playing with the bead. He was biting it and rolling it. He did not know that the bead was not a toy. He thought it was tasty. + +Lily was very brave. She went to Snowy and said, "Snowy, please stop. That bead is not tasty. It is hard and bad for your teeth. You will hurt yourself. Please give it back to me. I will give you something else to play with. I will give you a ball of yarn. It is soft and fun. You will like it." + +Snowy looked at Lily. He saw that she was not happy. He felt sorry for her. He dropped the bead and licked her hand. He said, "Meow, meow, I am sorry, Lily. I did not know that the bead was yours. I did not mean to make you sad. Here, you can have the bead. I will play with the yarn. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged Snowy. She said, "Thank you, Snowy. You are a good cat. I forgive you. I love you." She took the bead and finished her necklace. She gave it to her mom. Her mom loved it. She said, "Lily, this is a beautiful necklace. You are very clever and creative. Thank you, Lily. I love you." Lily was happy. She said, "You are welcome, mom. I love you too." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to visit the mill with their moms. The mill is a big house with a wheel. The wheel makes flour from wheat. + +They see the miller. He is a man who works at the mill. He says hello to them and shows them how the mill works. He lets them touch the wheat and the flour. He gives them some bread to eat. It is warm and soft. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like the miller and the mill. They ask him many questions. He answers them and smiles. He tells them stories about the mill and the wheat. He says they can come back anytime. + +They thank him and say goodbye. They go back to their moms. They tell them what they learned and what they ate. Their moms are happy too. They say the miller is very nice and the mill is very interesting. They hug Anna and Ben and take them home. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and zoom around the grass. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun. + +But then Sara saw that Ben's car had a big wheel and her car had a small wheel. She thought that was not fair. She wanted a big wheel too. She stopped playing and said to Ben, "Why do you have a big wheel and I have a small wheel? That is not fair. Can I have your car?" + +Ben looked at Sara and said, "No, you cannot have my car. This is my car and I like it. You have your car and you should like it too. The wheel does not matter. They are both good cars. Can we keep playing?" + +Sara was not happy. She thought Ben was being mean. She said, "No, we cannot keep playing. I want a big wheel. You have to share your car with me. That is fair." + +Ben was not happy either. He thought Sara was being silly. He said, "No, I do not have to share my car with you. You have your own car and you can play with it. That is fair. If you do not want to play, I will play by myself." + +Sara and Ben started to argue. They raised their voices and made angry faces. They did not listen to each other. They only wanted their own way. + +Mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw them fighting and said, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely? What is the problem?" + +Sara and Ben both tried to tell Mom their side of the story. They both used the word "fair" a lot. They both pointed at the wheel. They both wanted Mom to agree with them. + +Mom listened to them and said, "I understand that you both like your cars and you want to have fun. But you are not being fair to each other. You are not being kind or respectful. You are not being good friends. You are only thinking about yourselves. That is not fair." + +Sara and Ben looked at Mom and felt ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They had been selfish and rude. They had forgotten how to share and play together. They had hurt each other's feelings. + +Mom said, "If you want to play with your cars, you have to learn how to question each other nicely. You have to ask if you can try the other car, not demand it. You have to say please and thank you. You have to take turns and be gentle. You have to compliment each other and have fun. That is fair." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will try to do that. We will question each other nicely. We will share and play fairly. We will be good friends." + +Mom smiled and said, "That is good. I am proud of you. Now go and enjoy your cars. And remember, the wheel does not matter. What matters is how you treat each other. That is fair." + +Sara and Ben hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for helping us." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. You are welcome. Now go and have fun." + +Sara and Ben went back to their cars. They looked at each other and said, "Can I try your car, please?" + +They said yes and swapped their cars. They said thank you and complimented each other. They took turns and were gentle. They zoomed around the grass and had fun. They were fair and happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their new kitten, Snowy. They loved to watch her chase the leaves and the bugs. She was very fast and funny. + +"Look, Snowy is climbing the tree!" Ben said, pointing to the big oak. "She is so brave!" + +Lila nodded, but she was a little worried. The tree was very tall and the branches were very thin. What if Snowy fell down? + +"Snowy, come back!" Lila called. "It's not safe up there!" + +But Snowy did not listen. She was curious and wanted to see more. She jumped from one branch to another, looking for something mysterious. + +Suddenly, she saw a shiny thing on a high branch. It was a red ball. Snowy loved balls. She wanted to play with it. She stretched her paw to reach it, but the branch was slippery. She lost her balance and slipped. + +"Meow!" Snowy cried, as she fell down. + +Lila and Ben gasped. They ran to catch her, but they were too late. Snowy landed on the ground with a thud. + +"Snowy!" Lila and Ben shouted, as they picked her up. "Are you okay?" + +They checked her for injuries. She had a small scratch on her nose, but nothing else. She was lucky. + +Snowy looked at them with big eyes. She was scared and sorry. She realized she had been foolish and reckless. + +"I'm sorry, Lila and Ben," she said in a soft meow. "I was naughty and greedy. I should have listened to you." + +Lila and Ben hugged her and kissed her. They were glad she was okay. + +"It's okay, Snowy," they said. "We forgive you. But you have to be careful and obey us. We love you and we want you to be safe." + +Snowy nodded and snuggled with them. She learned her lesson. She decided to be a good kitten and stay away from slippery branches and shiny balls. + +The end. + +Moral: Curiosity is good, but it can also be dangerous. Listen to your elders and don't be greedy. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with toys, snacks, and towels. They wanted to play in the sand and the water. + +"Can we make a sandcastle, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But remember to stay close to us and don't go too far into the water. The waves can be strong and dangerous," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They knew it was important to listen to Mom and Dad. They ran to the beach and started to dig and pile up the sand. They used a bucket and a shovel to make a big tower. They decorated it with shells and stones. They were very proud of their sandcastle. + +"Look, Mom and Dad, look at our sandcastle!" Tom shouted. + +Mom and Dad smiled and clapped. They took a picture of Lily and Tom with their sandcastle. They said it was very beautiful. + +Lily and Tom wanted to show their sandcastle to everyone. They saw some other kids playing nearby. They ran to them and asked if they wanted to see their sandcastle. The other kids said yes and followed them. + +But when they got back to their spot, they saw something terrible. A big wave had washed away their sandcastle. There was nothing left but wet sand. Lily and Tom felt very sad and angry. They cried and screamed. + +"Who did this? Who ruined our sandcastle?" Lily yelled. + +"It was the water, Lily. The water did it. It was too high and too fast," Tom said. + +"But why? Why did the water do that? It was not fair. It was not nice. We worked so hard on our sandcastle. It was important to us," Lily said. + +"I don't know, Lily. I don't know why the water did that. Maybe it was just an accident. Maybe it didn't mean to hurt us," Tom said. + +But Lily and Tom didn't believe him. They hated the water. They hated the beach. They wanted to go home. They ran to Mom and Dad and told them what happened. Mom and Dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they could make another sandcastle another day. But Lily and Tom didn't want to. They said they never wanted to come back to the beach again. They said the beach was bad and mean. They said the beach was their enemy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to find sticks and pretend they were swords or wands. Lily found a big stick that was old and brown. She waved it in the air and said, "I am a fairy princess. I can do magic with my stick." + +Ben wanted to play too. He looked for a stick, but he could not find one. He saw a small stick that was green and shiny. He picked it up and said, "I am a knight. I can fight with my stick." + +Lily and Ben ran around the park, making noises and having fun. They saw a big tree that had a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. They went closer and looked. They saw something shiny and round. It looked like a coin. + +"What is that?" Lily questioned. She wanted to touch it. + +"Maybe it is treasure," Ben said. He wanted to have it. + +They reached for the coin with their sticks. But when they touched it, something happened. The coin was not a coin. It was a button. And the tree was not a tree. It was a machine. And the machine made a loud noise and opened a door. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped their sticks and ran away. They did not know what was behind the door. They did not want to find out. They learned a lesson. They should not touch things they do not know. They should be careful with their sticks. They should play with things that are safe and fun. +Lila and Ben liked to play near the harbor. They saw big boats and small boats and birds and fish. Sometimes they waved to the people on the boats and they waved back. + +One day, they saw a new boat. It was very big and shiny and had a flag on it. Lila and Ben wanted to see it closer. They ran to the edge of the water and looked at the boat. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Lila said. + +"It's so pretty!" Ben said. + +They saw a man on the boat. He wore a hat and a coat and had a whistle. He looked at Lila and Ben and smiled. + +"Hello, children!" he shouted. "Do you like my boat?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lila and Ben shouted back. + +"This is my boat. I am the captain. I take people to different places. Do you want to come on board and see my boat?" he shouted. + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They wanted to see the boat, but they also knew they should not go with strangers. + +"Thank you, but no thank you," Lila shouted. "We have to go home soon." + +"That's very smart of you," the captain shouted. "You should always be careful and stay with someone dependable. Maybe another day you can visit my boat with your parents or your teacher." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They waved goodbye to the captain and ran back to their bikes. They were happy they saw the new boat, but they were happier they stayed safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They found a big saw near the shed. It was dull and rusty. + +"Let's mark the tree with the saw!" Ben said. + +"No, that's bad. The tree is alive. It will hurt," Lily said. + +"But it's fun. Look, I can make a line on the bark," Ben said. He dragged the saw across the tree. + +Lily was angry. She grabbed the saw from Ben. "Stop it! You are mean. The tree is our friend. It gives us shade and fruits," she said. + +She threw the saw away. It landed on the grass. Ben was sad. He did not mean to be mean. He just wanted to play. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. Can we still be friends?" he asked. + +Lily looked at him. She saw that he was sorry. She nodded. "Yes, we can. But don't hurt the tree again. Let's play something else," she said. + +They hugged and ran to the swing. The tree was happy. It waved its branches in the wind. +Anna and Ben went to a hotel with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. The hotel was big and friendly. It had a pool and a playground. Anna and Ben liked to swim and play. + +One day, Anna and Ben found a cat in the hotel. The cat was white and soft. It had blue eyes and a pink nose. Anna and Ben wanted to pet the cat. They put some milk in a bowl and called the cat. The cat came and drank the milk. It purred and rubbed its head on Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben asked Mom and Dad if they could keep the cat. Mom and Dad said no. They said the cat belonged to the hotel. They said the cat had a home and a name. The cat's name was Snowy. Anna and Ben were sad. They liked Snowy. + +The next day, Anna and Ben had to leave the hotel. They packed their bags and said goodbye to Snowy. They gave Snowy a hug and a kiss. They thanked Snowy for being their friend. Snowy meowed and licked their faces. He was a friendly cat. + +Anna and Ben waved to Snowy as they got in the car. They said they would miss him. They said they would come back to the hotel someday. They said they hoped Snowy would remember them. Snowy watched them go. He was a happy cat. He had made new friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage with a bird inside. The bird is blue and yellow. It has a delicate beak and feathers. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we touch it?" Tom asks. + +"No, we can't," a voice says. It is the bird's owner. He is a man with a hat and a coat. He is holding a stick. "This bird is not for touching. It is very shy and scared. If you touch it, it will bite you. I warn you, stay away from the cage." + +"But why do you keep it in a cage?" Sara asks. "It is not fair. The bird wants to fly and be free." + +The man shakes his head. "This bird is not like other birds. It is very rare and special. It comes from a far away land. I found it in a cell in a bad place. They wanted to hurt it and sell it. I saved it and brought it here. I take good care of it. It is my friend." + +Sara and Tom feel sorry for the bird. They think the man is kind, but they still wish the bird could fly. They say goodbye to the man and the bird and go to play on the swings. They hope the bird will be happy in its cage. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They see cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They want to pet them and feed them. + +"Can we get closer, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The animals are friendly, but they are also filthy. They have mud and dirt on them. You don't want to get filthy too, do you?" Mom says. + +"No, Mom. We will be clean," Ben says. + +But Lily and Ben do not listen. They run to the animals and touch them. They give them corn and hay. They laugh and have fun. But they also get filthy. They have mud and dirt on their clothes, hair and faces. + +"Look at you two! You are filthy!" Dad says. "You need a bath right now. Come on, let's go home." + +"But Dad, we are not done. We want to play more," Lily and Ben say. + +"Sorry, kids. You can play another day. Now you have to get clean. The farm is not going anywhere," Dad says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They say goodbye to the animals. They get in the car. They go home. They take a bath. They get clean. They are happy again. They hug Mom and Dad. They say thank you for taking them to the farm. They go to bed. They dream of the farm. They hope to go back soon. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they get bored of their toys. They want new stuff to play with. + +One day, they see a big box outside their house. It has a sign that says "Free stuff". Sara and Ben run to the box. They open it and see many things inside. They see books, clothes, games, dolls, cars, and more. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Sara says. "We can take some and play with them." + +"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Ben says. He is a good boy. He knows the rules. + +They run to their mom, who is in the kitchen. They tell her about the box and the free stuff. Mom smiles and says, "That's very nice of someone to give away their stuff. But you have to be careful. Some of the stuff might be broken or dirty or cheap. You don't want to play with things that are not good for you." + +Sara and Ben nod. They go back to the box with Mom. Mom helps them pick some stuff that is clean and safe and fun. She also tells them to say thank you to the person who gave the stuff. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They have new stuff to play with. They take the stuff to their room and start to play. They forget about their old toys. + +But their old toys are not happy. They stare at Sara and Ben from the shelf. They feel sad and lonely. They wish Sara and Ben would play with them again. They hope Sara and Ben will not forget them. They love Sara and Ben very much. +Lisa and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs. They share everything and help each other. They are very happy. + +One day, Lisa sees a new toy in the store. It is a big teddy bear with a red bow. It is adorable. Lisa wants it very much. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says no. She says they have to pay money for the toy, and they don't have enough. Lisa is sad. + +Ben sees Lisa is sad. He asks her what is wrong. Lisa tells him about the teddy bear. Ben says he has an idea. He says he has some money in his piggy bank. He says he can pay for the teddy bear and give it to Lisa as a gift. Lisa is surprised. She says that is very nice of him. She says he doesn't have to do that. Ben says he wants to do that. He says Lisa is his best friend. He says he loves her. + +They go to the store with Ben's mom.

They are adorable. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in their room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, or animals. They did not hear their mom calling them to come downstairs for lunch. + +Suddenly, the floor shook and the toys fell off the shelves. Sam and Mia were scared and hugged each other. They heard a loud boom and saw cracks on the wall. It was an earthquake! + +"Sam, Mia, are you okay?" their mom shouted from downstairs. She ran up the stairs and opened the door. She saw her children crying and hugged them. "Don't worry, we are safe. Let's go outside and see if anyone needs help." + +They followed their mom outside and saw a lot of people on the street. Some were crying, some were helping, some were looking for their families. They saw a house that was broken and on fire. They saw a man lying on the ground, not moving. He was dead. + +"Mom, what happened to him?" Mia asked, pointing at the man. + +"He was hurt by the earthquake and he could not breathe. He is not alive anymore. He is in heaven now." their mom said, trying to explain. + +"Can we help him?" Sam asked, feeling sad. + +"No, we can't. But we can help others who are still alive. We can share our food, water, and toys with them. We can be kind and friendly. We can say thank you and sorry. We can pray for them." their mom said, smiling. + +Sam and Mia nodded and followed their mom. They saw a girl who was crying and gave her a teddy bear. They saw a boy who was thirsty and gave him a bottle of water. They saw a lady who was hurt and said sorry. They saw a man who was helping and said thank you.

They learned that they can surprise others with kindness. +Anna likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She draws on big papers that she puts on the floor. Sometimes she makes a mistake and she wants to change her picture. Then she uses her eraser. Her eraser is pink and soft and it makes the crayon go away. + +One day, Anna is drawing a picture of a rainbow. She uses red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple crayons. She is very happy with her picture. She wants to show it to her mom and dad. She picks up her picture and runs to the door. But when she opens the door, she sees that it is raining. The rain is wet and cold and it falls on her picture. The crayon colors run and mix and make a mess. Anna is very sad. She drops her picture and cries. + +Mom and dad hear Anna cry and they come to the door. They see Anna and her wet picture. They hug Anna and tell her that they are sorry. They say that they are proud of her for drawing a beautiful rainbow. They say that they can help her make a new picture. They give her a towel to dry her face and hands.

She starts to draw a new rainbow. She is happy again. +Sara was hot. She wanted to play with her toys, but the sun was too bright and the air was too sticky. She saw a fan on the table. It had a button and a cord. She wanted to make the fan go. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the fan. She pushed the button. The fan started to spin. Sara smiled. She felt the cool air on her face. She put her hand near the fan. She wanted to touch the air. + +But the fan was fast. It slapped her hand. Sara cried. It hurt. She pulled her hand back.

She says, "Lily, you already have many dolls at home. You don't need another one. Why don't you pick something else? How about a book or a puzzle?" + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want a book or a puzzle. She only wants the new doll. She starts to cry and scream. She says, "No, no, no! I want the doll! I want the doll!" + +Mom sighs. She does not like it when Lily cries and screams. She says, "Lily, stop crying and screaming. That is not nice. If you want the doll, you have to save your money and buy it yourself. You can do chores and earn some coins. Then you can buy the doll when you have enough." + +Lily stops crying and screaming. She thinks about what mom says. She likes the idea of saving money and buying the doll herself. She says, "Okay, mom. I will do chores and save money. Then I will buy the doll. Thank you, mom." + +Mom smiles.

"Yuck! This tastes bitter!" he said. + +But after a while, Timmy started to feel better. He had more energy and felt happier. His mom said, "See, Timmy? The result of eating healthy food is feeling good." Timmy smiled and said, "I'll try to eat more vegetables from now on." +Once upon a time, there was a little bird who wanted to fly high in the sky. One day, she met a friendly squirrel who asked her, "Why do you want to fly so high?" The little bird replied, "I want to see the world and find peace." + +The squirrel smiled and said, "I can help you. I know a tree that can raise you up to the clouds." The little bird was so happy and thanked the squirrel. She flew to the tree and saw a big leaf that looked like a lift. She stood on it and suddenly, she was lifted up into the sky. + +The little bird saw the world from above and felt so graceful. She saw the green trees, the blue sea, and the yellow sun. She felt so peaceful and happy. She knew that she had found what she was looking for. She flew back to the squirrel and said, "Thank you for helping me find peace. I will always remember this graceful moment." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in her backyard. One day, she found a small herb growing in the grass. She picked it up and smelled it. It smelled so good! + +Lily's mom saw her holding the herb and asked, "What do you have there, Lily?" Lily replied, "It's a herb! It smells so good and it's harmless!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's great, Lily. Just be careful not to eat any herbs you find outside. Some can be harmful." Lily nodded and put the herb back in the grass. She continued to play outside, happy to have found a harmless herb. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a hose that made water come out. They sprayed the water on the flowers and the grass and each other. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the water go fast!" Tom said. He turned the hose and made the water speed out. He aimed the hose at Lily and soaked her. + +"Hey, stop that, Tom! That's not nice!" Lily said. She was wet and cold and angry. She tried to grab the hose from Tom, but he was stronger. + +"No, it's fun! You look funny!" Tom said. He kept spraying Lily with the water. He did not care that she was unhappy. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. She hoped someone would hear her and stop Tom. + +Mama heard Lily's cry. She came out of the house and saw what Tom was doing. She was not happy. + +"Tom, what are you doing? That's very mean! Give me the hose right now!" Mama said. She took the hose from Tom and turned it off. + +"I'm sorry, Mama. I was just playing," Tom said. He looked down and felt ashamed. + +"You were not playing, you were hurting Lily. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" Mama said. She hugged Lily and dried her with a towel. + +"I would feel sad and mad," Tom said. + +"Then you should be kind to Lily, not mean. She is your sister and your friend. You should share and care and help each other, not hurt and fight and make each other cry," Mama said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" Tom said. He looked at Lily and hoped she would not be mad at him. + +"I forgive you, Tom. But don't do that again, okay?" Lily said. She smiled and hugged Tom. + +"Okay, I won't. I love you, Lily," Tom said. + +"I love you, Tom," Lily said. + +Mama smiled and hugged them both. She was proud of them for saying sorry and forgiving. She hoped they would be kind to each other from now on. +Tom and Sue were twins. They liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books. But they did not like to go to bed. They wanted to stay up and have fun. + +One night, their mom said, "It is time for bed, Tom and Sue. You have to sleep and rest. Tomorrow is a big day. We are going to the zoo. You will see many animals and have a lot of fun. But you need to be fresh and happy. So, please, go to bed now." + +Tom and Sue nodded, but they did not want to sleep. They waited until their mom left. Then they turned on the light and took out their toys. They played with their cars and dolls. They made a lot of noise. They did not hear their mom coming back. + +Their mom opened the door and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Sue, what are you doing? You are not sleeping. You are playing. This is not good. You are breaking the rules. You are making a mess. You are wasting the light. You are not ready for the zoo. You are in trouble." + +Tom and Sue felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to be bad. We love you. We want to go to the zoo. Please, forgive us." + +Their mom sighed. She said, "I love you too, Tom and Sue. But you have to learn to listen and obey. Playing is good, but sleeping is better. You need to sleep to grow and learn. You need to sleep to have energy and joy. You need to sleep to be healthy and safe. So, please, put away your toys. Turn off the light. Go to bed. And sleep well. I will wake you up in the morning. And we will go to the zoo. If you are good." + +Tom and Sue did what their mom said. They put away their toys. They turned off the light. They went to bed. And they slept well. They dreamed of the zoo. And they were good. +One day, a hairy dog saw a big bow on a box. He wanted to play with the bow, so he ran to the box and bit the bow. The bow was shiny and red, and the dog liked it very much. + +But the box was not a toy. It was a gift for mother from father. Father had bought a nice dress for mother, and he had put it in the box with the bow. He wanted to surprise mother on her birthday. + +When father came home, he saw the dog with the bow in his mouth. He also saw the box with the dress torn and dirty. He was very angry and sad. He shouted at the dog, "Bad dog! You ruined mother's gift! Go away!" + +The dog was scared and sorry. He dropped the bow and ran away. He did not understand why father was so mad. He thought he was just having fun. + +Mother came home and saw the mess. She saw the dress and the bow, and she knew what had happened. She was also angry and sad. She said to father, "How could you let the dog do this? You know he likes to chew things. You should have put the box somewhere safe." + +Father said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think he would find it. I wanted to make you happy. I love you." + +Mother said, "I love you too, but this is not a good way to show it. Now I have nothing to wear for my birthday. And where is the dog?" + +Father said, "I don't know. I yelled at him and he ran away." + +Mother said, "You yelled at him? That's not fair. He didn't know any better. He's just a dog. You should go and find him and say sorry." + +Father said, "You're right. I was wrong. I'll go and look for him." + +But it was too late. The dog had run far away, and he was lost. He was cold and hungry and lonely. He missed his home and his family. He wished he had never seen the bow. He wished he could go back and say sorry. But he couldn't. He was alone. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They make piles and match the cards. They have fun. + +One day, Ben has to leave. His mom comes to pick him up. She says they have to go to the doctor. Ben does not want to go. He wants to play more. He is sad. + +Anna is sad too. She likes Ben. She wants him to stay. She has an idea. She finds a paper and a crayon. She draws a card for Ben. She draws a big heart and writes "I miss you". She gives the card to Ben. + +Ben smiles. He likes the card. He hugs Anna. He says "Thank you". He says "I miss you too". He puts the card in his pocket. He goes with his mom. He waves to Anna. + +Anna waves back. She is still sad, but she is happy too. She knows Ben is her friend. She knows he will come back. She waits for him. She plays with the cards. She thinks of Ben. She hopes he is okay. She hopes the doctor is not difficult. +Lily and Ben are playing in the office. They like to pretend they are workers and use the big chairs and the phones. They also like to look at the files on the shelves. The files have many papers with words and pictures. + +One day, they find a file that is very big and heavy. It has a red sticker that says "Do not touch". Lily wants to see what is inside. She leans on the shelf and tries to pull the file. Ben says, "No, Lily, that is rude. We should not touch that file. It is not ours." + +But Lily does not listen. She pulls harder and harder. The file is too heavy for her. It falls on the floor with a loud bang. The papers fly everywhere. Lily and Ben are scared. They hear footsteps coming. + +The boss comes in. He sees the mess. He is very angry. He says, "Who did this? Who touched my file? This is very bad. This file is very important. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, boss. We were playing. We did not mean to touch your file. We will help you clean up." + +The boss sighs. He says, "You should not play in the office. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should be careful and respectful. This file has secrets that you should not see. Now I have to sort them again. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben go to their room. They are sad. They learned a lesson. They will not touch the files again. They will not be rude. They will be good. +Lila and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with paper. They had many colors of paper. They wanted to fold paper animals. + +"I will fold a bird," said Lila. "I like birds. They can fly and sing." + +"I will fold a mosquito," said Sam. "I do not like mosquitoes. They bite and buzz." + +Lila and Sam folded their paper. Lila made a nice bird. She gave it wings and a beak. Sam made a difficult mosquito. He gave it legs and a needle. + +They showed each other their paper animals. + +"Your bird is pretty," said Sam. "Can it fly?" + +"Your mosquito is scary," said Lila. "Can it bite?" + +They tried to make their paper animals fly and bite. But they could not. They were only paper. + +They laughed and played with their paper animals. They had fun in the garden. They did not see the real mosquito that was watching them. It was hungry and sneaky. It flew towards them and bit Sam on the arm. + +"Ow!" said Sam. "Something bit me!" + +He looked at his arm and saw a red spot. He saw the mosquito flying away. + +"It was a mosquito!" he said. "A real mosquito!" + +He rubbed his arm and felt itchy. + +Lila felt sorry for Sam. She gave him a hug and a band-aid. + +"Your paper mosquito is better," she said. "It does not bite." + +Sam smiled and thanked Lila. He hugged his paper mosquito and his paper bird. + +They went inside and had a snack. They forgot about the real mosquito. They were happy with their paper animals. +Sara and Ben love to dance. They dance at home, at school, and at the park. They like to dance to different songs and make up their own moves. One day, they find a new track in the park. It is long and smooth and has a big sign that says "Bike Track". + +"Wow, this looks fun!" Sara says. "Let's dance on the track!" + +Ben nods and they run to the track. They start to dance and sing along to a song in their heads. They are having a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a bike. A big bike with a big boy on it. He is coming fast on the track. He sees Sara and Ben and gets angry. + +"Hey, get off the track!" he yells. "This is for bikes, not for dancing!" + +Sara and Ben are frightened. They stop dancing and try to get off the track. But the bike is too close. It almost hits them. They jump to the side and fall on the grass. + +The big boy laughs and rides away. He does not say sorry. He does not care. + +Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They hug each other and cry. + +A lady sees them and comes to help. She is a teacher at their school. She asks them what happened and listens to their story. + +"That was very mean of him," she says. "He should not have done that. He should have shared the track with you. But you also made a mistake. You should not have danced on the track. It is not safe. It is for bikes, not for dancing. You could have gotten hurt. Next time, you should look for a safer place to dance. Like the playground or the field. There are many places to dance, but not the track." + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry to the lady and thank her for helping them. They learn their lesson. They still love to dance, but they are more careful. They look for safe places to dance and they respect other people's space. They are happy and smart dancers. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Anna had a big spoon and Ben had a wooden bowl. They put some flour, water, salt and sugar in the bowl and mixed them together. + +"Look, I made dough!" Ben said. "We can make bread or cookies or cake!" + +"Good job, Ben!" Anna said. "But we need to bake it in the stove. The stove is very hot and makes the dough turn brown and crispy." + +Anna looked at the stove. It was high and shiny and had four round things on top. She wanted to see inside the stove, where the fire was. She had an idea. She took a chair and pushed it next to the stove. Then she climbed on the chair and tried to balance on one leg. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He saw Anna standing on the chair and reaching for the stove. He was scared. He knew the stove was dangerous and could burn them. + +"I want to see the fire!" Anna said. She stretched her arm and touched the stove. It was very hot. She felt a sharp pain and pulled her hand back. She cried out loud and lost her balance. She fell off the chair and hit the floor. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Ben asked. He ran to her and hugged her. He saw her hand was red and swollen. He felt sorry for her. + +Anna was hurt and scared. She sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly and curious. I should have listened to you. The stove is very hot and bad. I won't touch it again." + +Ben nodded and said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. You are honest and brave. But we need to tell Mommy. She can help you and make you feel better." + +They held hands and went to find Mommy. Mommy was in the living room, reading a book. She saw Anna and Ben and smiled. Then she saw Anna's hand and frowned. She asked, "What happened, my darlings?" + +Anna and Ben told Mommy what they did. They were honest and said they were sorry. Mommy was not angry. She was glad they were safe and told the truth. She kissed them and said, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are good children. But you need to be careful and not play with the stove. The stove is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only." + +She took Anna to the bathroom and put some cold water and cream on her hand. She wrapped it in a bandage and gave her a hug. She said, "You will be fine, Anna. Your hand will heal soon. But you need to be more careful next time. The stove can hurt you very much." + +Anna nodded and said, "I know, Mommy. Thank you for helping me. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love you too, Ben. You are a good brother. You helped Anna and comforted her. You are kind and sweet." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy hugged them both and said, "You are my precious children. Now, how about we make some real cookies together? We can use the stove, but I will do it for you. You can watch and learn, but not touch. Okay?" + +Anna and Ben agreed and said, "Okay, Mommy. That sounds fun!" + +They went back to the kitchen and made some delicious cookies. They ate them with milk and enjoyed them. They learned their lesson and never played with the stove again. They were happy and safe. +Lila and Sam were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. They also had a swing that their dad made for them. They loved to swing high and see the view of the sky and the hills. + +One day, they decided to have a contest. They wanted to see who could swing higher and yell louder. They took turns pushing each other on the swing and yelling as loud as they could. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then, something happened. Lila pushed Sam too hard and he flew off the swing. He landed on the grass and hurt his knee. He started to cry and yell for help. Lila was scared and sorry. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to push you so hard. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Sam sniffed and looked at his knee. It was red and bleeding. He felt pain and anger. He pushed Lila away and yelled at her. + +"Go away, Lila. You are mean. You hurt me. I don't want to play with you anymore." he said. + +Lila felt sad and hurt. She didn't want to lose her brother. She tried to talk to him and say sorry again. But he didn't listen. He turned his back on her and walked away. + +Lila didn't know what to do. She looked at the swing and the view. They were not beautiful anymore. They were lonely and sad. She wished she could make Sam happy again. She wished they could swing and yell and laugh together again. She wished they could be twins again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe there is a treasure!" + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But be careful. Maybe there is a monster!" + +They walked to the tree and looked inside. They saw something furry and green. It had big eyes and sharp teeth. It was a monster! + +"AAAAH!" Ben and Lily screamed. They ran away from the tree. + +The monster came out of the hole. It was not scary. It was sad. It wanted to have friends. It followed Ben and Lily. + +"Wait, wait!" the monster said. "I am not bad. I am lonely. Please, play with me!" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at the monster. It looked sad and harmless. They felt sorry for it. + +"Are you sure you are not bad?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, yes!" the monster said. "I am good. I am healthy. I eat fruits and vegetables. I brush my teeth. I just want to have fun!" + +Ben and Lily thought for a moment. They decided to give the monster a chance. + +"OK, we will play with you," Ben said. "But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to share." + +"OK, OK!" the monster said. "Thank you, thank you! You are very kind. Can I give you a kiss?" + +Ben and Lily giggled. They nodded. The monster gave them a big, wet kiss on their cheeks. They felt ticklish and happy. + +They became friends with the monster. They played in the park. They slid, swung and ran. They had a lot of fun. They learned that the monster was not so different from them. He liked to laugh, sing and hug. He was a good monster. +Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with many fruits. They were peaches. Sam and Mia loved peaches. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Look, Mia, a peach!" Sam said. He pointed to a peach that was low on the tree. He ran to the tree and tried to reach the peach. But he was too short. He jumped and stretched his arms, but he could not touch the peach. + +"Let me help you, Sam," Mia said. She was taller than Sam. She ran to the tree and lifted Sam up. Sam grabbed the peach and pulled it off the tree. He was happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend." + +Sam and Mia sat on the grass and shared the peach. They bit into the peach and felt the juice run down their chins. They licked their lips and said, "Mmm, this is a good peach." + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. They felt raindrops on their heads. They were wet. They did not like to be wet. + +"Let's go inside, Sam," Mia said. She took Sam's hand and they ran to the house. They lay their peach on the porch and went inside. They dried themselves with towels and put on dry clothes. They were warm and cozy. + +They looked out the window and saw the rain. They saw their peach on the porch. It was wet too. They felt sorry for the peach. + +"Maybe we can eat the peach later, Mia," Sam said. + +"Maybe, Sam," Mia said. "But I think we should share it with Mom and Dad. They would like a peach too." + +Sam and Mia nodded. They hugged each other and said, "We are good friends." +Anna and Ben love to race. They race with their feet, their bikes, their cars, and their planes. They race in the park, in the yard, in the street, and in the sky. They always have fun, but they also want to win. + +One day, they find a new toy in the store. It is a small drum. It has a stick and a strap. It makes a loud sound when you hit it. Anna and Ben both want the drum. They ask their mom to buy it for them. + +"Only one drum," mom says. "You have to share. Or you can race for it. The one who gets to the end of the aisle first can have the drum." + +Anna and Ben agree. They put the drum on the floor and stand at the other end of the aisle. They get ready to race. They look at the drum. They look at each other. They say, "Go!" + +They run as fast as they can. They push and shove. They knock over other toys. They make a lot of noise. They are almost at the drum. But then, they hear another sound. It is a louder sound. It is a rhythm. It is someone playing the drum. + +They stop and look. It is a big boy. He has the drum on his shoulder. He has the stick in his hand. He is smiling. He says, "Thanks for the drum. It is mine now. Bye!" + +He walks away with the drum. Anna and Ben are sad. They lost the race. They lost the drum. They look at each other. They say, "Sorry." + +They hug and make up. They decide to play with their other toys. They learn to share. They still love to race. But they also love each other. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a hose. The truck was spraying water on the plants and the grass. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam said. "The water is so strong and fast. I want to try it." + +"No, Sam, that is not for us. That is for the truck man. He is doing his job. Come on, let's go to the swings." Lily said. + +But Sam did not listen. He ran to the truck when the truck man was not looking. He grabbed the hose and tried to spray the water. But the hose was too heavy and hard for Sam. He could not control it. The water went everywhere. It sprayed the truck man, the plants, the grass, and the coal. + +The coal was in a pile next to the truck. It was black and dirty. The water made it wet and muddy. The coal splashed on Sam, Lily, and the truck man. They all got very dirty. + +"Hey, what are you doing, kid?" The truck man shouted. He was angry and wet. He took the hose from Sam and turned it off. "You should not touch my hose. You made a big mess. You sprayed my coal. That is for the fire station. They need it to make fire and heat." + +Sam was scared and sorry. He did not mean to make trouble. He just wanted to have fun. He looked at Lily. She was also dirty and wet. She was not happy with Sam. She was shaking her head. + +"I'm sorry, truck man. I'm sorry, Lily. I was not brave. I was silly. I should have listened to you. Can you forgive me?" Sam said. + +The truck man sighed. He was not so angry anymore. He saw that Sam was young and curious. He decided to be kind. + +"It's okay, kid. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful next time. The hose is not a toy. It is a tool. And the coal is not for playing. It is for fire and heat. Do you understand?" He said. + +Sam nodded. He understood. He learned his lesson. He thanked the truck man and said sorry again. He went to Lily and hugged her. He said sorry to her too. He asked her to be his friend again. + +Lily smiled. She was not mad at Sam anymore. She knew that he was sorry. She hugged him back. She said that he was still her friend. She said that he was brave to say sorry. + +They both went to the swings.

She put the sheet over her head and looked in the mirror. She was a scary ghost! She said "Boo!" and laughed. + +She went to show her mom her costume. She walked very quietly and hid behind the couch. She waited for her mom to come. When her mom came, Anna jumped out and said "Boo!" very loud. + +Her mom was surprised and smiled. She said "Wow, Anna, you are a very spooky ghost! I love your costume. How did you design it?" + +Anna told her mom how she used the sheet and the scissors. She said "It was easy and fun. Do you want to be a ghost too?" + +Her mom said "Sure, why not? Let's find another sheet and design a costume for me. Then we can be ghost buddies and scare dad when he comes home." + +Anna was happy. She and her mom went to find another sheet. They cut holes for their eyes and put the sheets over their heads.

They looked in the fridge. They saw some cheese, some grapes, and some celery. + +"Let's have cheese and grapes," Mia said. + +"OK," Ben said. "But I also want celery. I like celery. It is crunchy and green." + +Mia did not like celery. She thought it was yucky and bitter. But she did not want to make Ben sad. She was a helpful sister. She said, "OK, you can have celery too. But I will not have any." + +Ben smiled. He took the cheese, the grapes, and the celery out of the fridge. He put them on a plate. He gave some cheese and grapes to Mia. He took some cheese and grapes for himself. He also took a big piece of celery. + +He bit the celery. He made a loud crunch. He smiled. He liked the celery. He bit it again.

She was scared. She did not know what to do. + +She ran to Ben. She hugged him. She said, "It's OK, Ben. It's OK. It was just a bug. It can't hurt you. You are brave. You are strong. I am here. I will help you." + +Ben hugged her back. He calmed down. He said, "Thank you, Mia. Thank you. You are a helpful sister. You are a good sister. I love you." + +They cleaned up the mess. They threw away the celery. They ate the cheese and the grapes. They were happy. They did not want celery anymore. +Sara likes to make things with beads. She has many beads of different colors and shapes. She wants to make a bracelet for her mom. She picks some beads and puts them on a string. She tries to tie the string, but it is too thick.

Sara wonders. + +"Maybe, but we have to be careful. Dad does not like us to touch his things," Ben says. + +They pick up a file and open it. They see some numbers and graphs. They do not understand what they mean. + +"This is boring," Sara says. "Let's find something more fun." + +They put the file back and look around. They see a phone on a desk. It has many buttons and a cord. + +"What is this?" Sara asks. + +"It is a phone. You can talk to people with it," Ben says. + +"Can we try it?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe, but we have to be quiet. Dad does not like us to make noise," Ben says. + +They pick up the phone and press a button. The phone makes a sound. + +"Ring, ring, ring," the phone says. + +"Hello, who is this?" a voice says from the phone. + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They do not know who is talking. + +"Uh, hi, we are Sara and Ben," Sara says. + +"Hi, Sara and Ben. Where are you calling from?" the voice says. + +"We are in dad's office. He is not here," Ben says. + +"Dad's office? Who is your dad?" the voice says. + +"Dad is Mr. Smith. He works here," Sara says. + +"Mr. Smith? I am his boss. Why are you in his office?" the voice says. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They think they are in trouble. + +"Uh, we are sorry. We were just looking around. We did not mean to bother you," Ben says. + +"You should not be in his office without his permission. You could damage his files or his phone. Where is he?" the voice says. + +"He is at home. He is sick," Sara says. + +"He is sick? Why did he not tell me? He has an important meeting today," the voice says. + +Sara and Ben do not know what to say. They wish they did not touch the phone. + +"Uh, we have to go. Bye," Sara says. + +They hang up the phone and run out of the office. They decide to never be so adventurous again. +Sara likes to play with her toys. She has many toys on her shelf. She has dolls, cars, blocks and books. She likes to make stories with her toys. + +One day, she sees a new toy on her shelf. It is an orange robot. It has two eyes, two arms and two legs. It has a button on its chest. Sara is curious. She picks up the orange robot and presses the button. + +The orange robot starts to talk. It says, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your new friend. Do you want to play with me?" Sara is surprised. She has never heard a toy talk before. She says, "Hi, Robo. I am Sara. Yes, I want to play with you. What can you do?" + +Robo says, "I can do many things. I can walk, dance, sing and tell jokes. I can also learn from you. You can teach me new words and games. I am very smart and fun." Sara is happy. She thinks Robo is a cool toy. She says, "Wow, you can do many things. You are very smart and fun. Can you show me how you walk, dance, sing and tell jokes?" + +Robo says, "Sure, I can show you. Follow me." Robo jumps off the shelf and starts to walk around the room. He moves his arms and legs in funny ways. He sings a silly song. He tells a joke that makes Sara laugh. Sara follows him and tries to copy him. She moves her arms and legs in funny ways. She sings the silly song. She laughs at the joke. They have a lot of fun. + +Sara and Robo become good friends. They play with each other every day. They make stories with the other toys. They learn from each other. They have a lot of fun. Sara is glad she found the orange robot on her shelf. She thinks he is the best toy ever. +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. But then Lily saw a shiny red car on the shelf. She wanted to play with it, so she climbed on the sofa and reached for it. + +"Hey, that's my car!" Tom shouted. "Give it back to me!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Lily said. She pulled the car and ran away. + +Tom was very angry. He chased after Lily and tried to grab the car. They both tugged and pulled until the car broke in half. They heard a loud snap and saw pieces of plastic flying everywhere. + +They stopped and looked at the broken car. They felt very sad and sorry. They knew they had done something bad. + +"Mommy, mommy, we broke the car!" they cried. + +Mommy came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She asked them what happened and why they were fighting. + +"We wanted to play with the car, but we couldn't share it," Lily said. + +"We were selfish and greedy, and we ruined the car," Tom said. + +Mommy sighed. She told them that the car was a gift from their grandpa, who loved them very much. She said that the car was very special and hard to find. She said that they had hurt their grandpa's feelings by breaking his car. + +Lily and Tom felt very bad. They wished they could fix the car and make their grandpa happy again. + +"Mommy, is there a way to restore the car?" Lily asked. + +"Restore means to make something good again, like it was before," Mommy explained. + +"Yes, is there a way to do that?" Tom asked. + +Mommy thought for a moment. She said that maybe they could try to glue the pieces together, but it would not be easy. She said that they would need to be very careful and patient. She said that they would also need to apologize to their grandpa and tell him the truth. + +Lily and Tom agreed. They said they were sorry to Mommy and asked for her help. They worked together to restore the car as best as they could. They used glue and tape and stickers to make it look nice. They wrote a card for their grandpa and said they were sorry and that they loved him. + +They gave the car and the card to their grandpa the next day. He was surprised and touched. He hugged them and thanked them. He said he was proud of them for being honest and for trying to restore the car. He said he forgave them and that he still loved them. + +Lily and Tom were very happy. They learned their lesson. They learned to share and to care for their things. They learned that restore is a good word and a good thing to do. They learned that they could restore not only things, but also feelings. They learned that they could restore their grandpa's smile. +Sara and Ben love to play with pins. They have a big box of pins with different colors and shapes. They like to make pictures with the pins on a board. Sara makes a flower with pink and yellow pins. Ben makes a car with blue and red pins. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a new pin in the box. It is black and shiny and has a pointy end. Sara thinks it is pretty and wants to use it for her flower. Ben thinks it is cool and wants to use it for his car. They both reach for the pin at the same time and start to pull. + +"Give me the pin!" Sara says. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. + +They pull harder and harder until the pin snaps in half. The pointy end flies into Sara's mouth and the shiny end flies into Ben's eye. Sara spits out the pin and cries. It tastes bitter and hurts her tongue. Ben rubs his eye and cries. It feels sharp and stings his eye. + +Mom hears them crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken pin and the board with the pictures. She hugs Sara and Ben and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Pins are not toys. They are dangerous and can hurt you. Let me help you feel better." She takes them to the bathroom and washes their mouth and eye. She gives them a band-aid and a kiss. She says, "Next time, share your toys and be careful. I love you both very much." Sara and Ben say, "We love you too, Mom." They hug Mom and say, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't play with pins again." Mom smiles and says, "That's good, my loves. Now, let's go and find something else to play with." +Tim and Amy were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big slide with a zipper on it. The zipper made the slide go faster or slower. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "Let's try it!" + +"OK, but be careful!" Amy said. "It looks scary!" + +They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Tim was enthusiastic. He wanted to go fast. He pulled the zipper all the way down. Amy was nervous. She wanted to go slow. She pulled the zipper all the way up. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tim shouted. He pushed Amy and they slid down together. + +The slide was very fun. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed. But then, something went wrong. The zipper got stuck in the middle. The slide stopped moving. + +"Uh-oh!" Amy said. "We're stuck!" + +"What do we do?" Tim asked. "We can't go up or down!" + +They looked around. They saw their parents waving at them from the ground. They also saw a big net under the slide. + +"Don't worry!" their parents said. "We'll help you!" + +They threw a rope to Tim and Amy. Tim and Amy grabbed the rope and tied it around their waists. + +"OK, now jump!" their parents said. + +Tim and Amy were scared, but they trusted their parents.

They were happy and proud. They had a great adventure on the zipper slide. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and eat cereal. But they do not like to stay in bed when Mom says so. They think it is boring and they want to have fun. + +One night, Mom tells them to stay in bed and sleep. She says she has to work early and needs quiet.

Tom caught it and threw it back. They had fun. + +But then, Tom wanted to keep the ball. He did not want to share it with Lily. He was selfish. + +"Give me the ball, Tom!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. + +"Mom, Tom won't share the ball!" Lily cried. + +Mom heard Lily and came to the pool. She saw Tom holding the ball and Lily looking sad. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"I want to keep the ball. It's mine!" Tom said. + +"Tom, that's not nice.

It was bigger than a house and had a big sign that said "Do not use". Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see what was inside. They ran to the toilet and opened the door. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He saw a huge seat and a huge hole. He wondered what would happen if he kicked the ball into the hole. He picked up the ball and aimed at the hole. + +"Tom, don't do that!" Lily said. She was scared and wanted to leave. She thought the toilet was dirty and dangerous. She grabbed Tom's hand and tried to pull him away. + +But Tom did not listen.

"Maybe there are pictures or stickers inside." + +Ben shakes his head. "No, we can't. That house is scary. Mom says we should stay away from it." + +Lily smiles. "Are you afraid, Ben? I dare you to go with me. It will be fun." + +Ben does not like to be called afraid. He wants to be brave like Lily. He nods. "Okay, I dare you too. But we have to be quick and quiet. Come on." + +They run across the street and climb the steps to the porch. They look at the mail. There are many envelopes and magazines. Some are old and torn. Some have stamps and pictures on them. Lily picks one up and opens it. She sees a card with a cat and a cake on it. It says "Happy Birthday". + +"Look, Ben, this is for someone's birthday. Maybe they forgot to get it. How sad." + +Ben picks another one. He sees a letter with a lot of words on it. He can't read them. He tries to sound them out. + +"Dee-ar...Jen...nee. I...miss...you...so...much. Love...Dad." + +He feels a lump in his throat. He thinks of his dad, who is far away in another country. He misses him too. He wishes he could get a letter from him. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a door slamming. They look up and see a man standing in the doorway of the house. He is big and angry.

They raced around the park and had fun. + +One day, they saw a big hill. Tom said, "Let's race down the hill. It will be fast and fun." Lily said, "But the hill is steep and bumpy. We might fall and get hurt." Tom said, "Don't be scared. I am smart and I can go down the hill without falling. You are not smart and you are slow. I will win the race and you will lose." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She said, "Fine. Let's race down the hill. But you have to wear your mask. It is the rule." Tom said, "OK. I will wear my mask. But you will still lose." + +They got ready to race down the hill. Tom put on his mask, but he did not tie it well. He thought it was not important.

Can you please hug me?" + +Lily hugged Tom and she said, "Tom, I am your friend. I am glad you are sorry. You are smart too, but you need to be careful. You need to wear your mask well and follow the rules. They are there to keep us safe and happy. Do you understand?" Tom said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Lily. You are the best." + +They walked back to their bikes and they went home. They learned a lesson. They learned that racing is fun, but safety is important. They learned that being smart is not enough, you also need to be kind and respectful. They learned that wearing a mask is not a joke, it is a way to show you care. They learned that friendship is more valuable than winning. They learned that they can race and have fun, but they also need to help and hug. +Sam had long hair that covered his eyes and ears. He did not like it when his hair got in his face or when it was hot outside.

The frog jumped off the rock and hid under a leaf. + +"Ha ha, you scared it!" Anna said. She laughed at Ben. She thought she was braver. She and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They both liked frogs. They wanted to be friends with them. + +"Sorry, frog, we did not mean to bother you," Anna said. She and Ben said sorry to the frog. They hoped the frog would forgive them. + +Mom came to the pond and saw Anna and Ben. She was happy to see them having fun. She brought them some cookies. They were sweet and yummy. + +"Do you want to share some cookies with the frogs?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. They broke some cookies and threw them into the pond. They hoped the frogs would like them. + +The frogs saw the cookies and came out of the water. They smelled the cookies and tasted them. They liked them. They thanked Anna and Ben and Mom. + +"Thank you, thank you, you are very kind!" the frogs said. + +Anna and Ben and Mom were amazed. They did not know frogs could talk. They laughed with the frogs. They made new friends. They had a good day at the park. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. He says to Sue, "Let's go on the slide. It looks fun." + +Sue is scared. She says to Tom, "No, I don't want to go on the slide. It is too high. I might fall." + +Tom feels an urge to go on the slide. He thinks it is different from the other slides. He says to Sue, "Don't be scared. I will go first. You can watch me." + +Tom runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He stands at the top. He looks down. He smiles. He says to Sue, "See, it is not so bad. Come on, join me." + +Sue shakes her head. She says to Tom, "No, Tom, please don't go. It is dangerous. Come back." + +But Tom does not listen. He slides down. He goes very fast. He screams. He does not see the sharp rock at the end of the slide. He hits the rock. He bleeds. He cries. + +Sue runs to Tom. She sees him hurt. She is sad. She says to Tom, "I'm sorry, Tom. I wish you listened to me. I wish you did not go on the slide." + +Tom says to Sue, "I'm sorry, Sue. I wish I listened to you. I wish I did not go on the slide." +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Sam had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving or talking. + +"Vroom, vroom, my truck is fast and strong!" Sam said. + +"My doll is pretty and nice, she likes to hold my hand," Lily said. + +They were having fun, but then they saw something weird on the table. It was a small piece of paper with a picture and some words on it. It was a stamp. + +"What is that?" Sam asked. + +"I don't know, it looks funny," Lily said. + +They walked to the table and picked up the stamp. They looked at it closely. + +"It has a bird on it, and some letters," Sam said. + +"Maybe it is a sticker, can we stick it on something?" Lily asked. + +They tried to peel off the stamp, but it was stuck to the paper. They pulled harder, but it didn't come off. + +"Ow, it hurts my fingers!" Sam said. + +"Let me try, maybe I can do it," Lily said. + +She took the stamp from Sam and tried to peel it off too. But she couldn't do it either. + +"It is too hard, we need help," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making lunch. + +"Mom, mom, can you help us?" Sam and Lily said. + +They ran to their mom and showed her the stamp. + +"What do you have there, kids?" Mom asked. + +"It is a weird thing, we can't take it off the paper," Sam said. + +"It looks like a sticker, but it is not," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and took the stamp from Lily. She held it in her hand and explained. + +"This is not a sticker, this is a stamp. It is used to send letters and cards to other people. You stick it on the envelope and then you put it in the mailbox. The mailman takes it and delivers it to the person you want to send it to." + +"Wow, that is cool!" Sam and Lily said. + +"Do you want to send a letter or a card to someone?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, yes, we do!" Sam and Lily said. + +"Okay, then let's go and find some paper and crayons. You can draw and write something nice for someone you love. Then we can use the stamp to send it," Mom said. + +"Yay, thank you, mom!" Sam and Lily said. + +They hugged their mom and followed her to the craft room. They were happy to learn something new and to share their love with someone else. They used the stamp to send a letter to their grandma, who lived far away. They hoped she would like it and write back to them. They loved stamps. +Sara liked to play with her mom's computer. It had many colors and sounds and games. Sara wanted to see what was inside the computer. She thought it would be beautiful. + +One day, when mom was not home, Sara found a screwdriver. She used it to open the computer. She saw many wires and metal and plastic. She touched them with her fingers. Some of them were hot and some of them were cold. + +Sara saw a big round thing that was glowing. It looked like a sun. She wanted to touch it too. She reached for it with her hand. But when she touched it, it hurt her a lot. It made a loud noise and a bright flash. Sara screamed and cried. The computer was broken and so was Sara's hand. + +Mom came home and saw what happened. She was very angry and sad. She called the doctor and the fireman. They took Sara and the computer away. Sara had to stay in the hospital for many days. She had a big bandage on her hand. She could not play with anything. She was very sorry and scared. + +Mom said she loved Sara, but she also said Sara was very naughty. She said Sara should never touch the computer again. She said Sara could have died. Sara felt very bad. She wished she had never opened the computer. She wished she had listened to mom. She wished she could see the beautiful colors and sounds and games again. But she could not. The computer was gone and so was Sara's fun. +Sara liked to make bracelets with beads and strings. She had many colors and shapes of beads. She gave some bracelets to her friends at school. They said her bracelets were pretty and cool. Sara was happy and popular. + +One day, Sara was playing with her beads and strings in her room. She wanted to make a new bracelet for herself. She picked some blue and yellow beads and a pink string. She started to put the beads on the string. She was careful not to drop any beads. + +But then, her little brother Tommy came into her room. He saw the beads and strings on the floor. He thought they were toys. He grabbed some beads and strings and ran away. Sara saw him and shouted, "Tommy, stop! Those are mine! Give them back!" + +Tommy did not listen. He ran to the living room and threw the beads and strings on the couch. Some beads fell off the string and rolled under the couch. Tommy laughed and ran away again. + +Sara was angry and sad. She followed Tommy and said, "Tommy, you are bad! You broke my bracelet! How can I fix it now?" She looked at the couch and saw some beads and strings. She tried to find the missing beads under the couch. She could not reach them. + +Mommy heard Sara and Tommy. She came to the living room and saw what happened. She said, "Sara, Tommy, what is going on? Why are you fighting?" + +Sara told Mommy what Tommy did. She showed Mommy the broken bracelet. She said, "Mommy, can you help me fix it? I worked hard on it. It was going to be my new bracelet." + +Mommy said, "I'm sorry, Sara. Tommy should not have taken your beads and strings. He did not know they were important to you. He is still very young. He needs to learn to share and respect your things." + +Mommy said, "Tommy, come here. You need to say sorry to Sara. You need to give back her beads and strings. You need to help her fix her bracelet." + +Tommy came to Mommy. He looked at Sara. He said, "Sorry, Sara. I did not mean to break your bracelet. I thought they were toys. Can I help you fix it?" + +Sara looked at Tommy. She was still angry, but she also felt sorry for him. She said, "It's okay, Tommy. I forgive you. You can help me fix it. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to ask me before you touch my things." + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Sara. You are a good sister. Come on, let's fix your bracelet together. I have some more beads and strings in my drawer. Maybe we can make another bracelet for Tommy. Then you can both wear them and be happy." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They also liked to go to the park and swing and slide and run. One day, Lily said to Tom, "Let's play operation. I will be the doctor and you will be the patient." + +Tom agreed. He lay down on the grass and closed his eyes. Lily took a stick and pretended it was a knife. She said, "I will turn your heart into a star. It will make you happy and shiny." She touched the stick to Tom's chest and said, "Cut, cut, cut." + +But the stick was sharp and it hurt Tom. He opened his eyes and saw blood on his shirt. He screamed and cried. Lily was scared and dropped the stick. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." + +Tom's mom heard the scream and ran to the park. She saw Tom bleeding and Lily crying. She was angry and sad. She said, "What have you done? You are not a doctor, you are a bad girl. You have hurt my son. He needs a real operation now. You can't play with him anymore." + +She picked up Tom and took him to the car. She drove to the hospital. Lily was left alone in the park. She felt sorry and lonely. She wished she had played an ordinary game with Tom. She wished she had never turned his heart into a star. +Lily was a lazy girl who did not like to help her mom in the kitchen. She always wanted to play with her toys or watch TV. One day, her mom asked her to wash some grapes for a snack. Lily did not want to do it. She said, "No, mom, I want to play. You do it." + +Her mom was sad and angry. She said, "Lily, you are being very rude and lazy. You need to help me in the kitchen sometimes. It is not fair that I do everything for you. If you do not wash the grapes, you will not get any." + +Lily did not care. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She took out her favorite doll and started to play. She pretended that the doll was her friend and that they were having a tea party. She said, "You are so nice and pretty, doll. You do not make me do boring things like mom. You are my best friend." + +But the doll did not say anything back. It was just a toy. Lily got bored and lonely. She wished she had a real friend to play with. She thought of her mom and felt sorry. She decided to go back to the kitchen and help her. + +She opened the door and saw her mom sitting at the table, eating some grapes. She said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was very lazy and rude. Can I help you in the kitchen now?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I am glad you came back, Lily. I forgive you. You can help me by washing some more grapes. But be careful, they are very juicy and can squirt." + +Lily nodded and took a bunch of grapes. She started to wash them under the faucet. She felt a drop of water on her cheek. She looked up and saw her mom smiling and winking. She realized that her mom had pinched a grape and squirted her. She laughed and pinched a grape back. They had a fun grape fight and then ate the grapes together. + +Lily learned that helping her mom in the kitchen was not so boring after all. She also learned that her mom was her best friend and that she loved her very much. She decided to be more helpful and kind from then on. +Sara was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. + +"Hi, sweetie. I have something for you," her mom said. She gave Sara a big hug and a small envelope. + +"What is it, mom?" Sara asked. + +"It's a note from your grandma. She sent it to you because she loves you and misses you. Do you want to open it?" her mom said. + +Sara nodded and tore the envelope. She pulled out a piece of paper with some words and a picture. She could not read the words, but she recognized the picture. It was a drawing of her and her grandma holding hands and smiling. + +"Look, mom! It's me and grandma!" Sara exclaimed. + +"Yes, it is. Do you like it?" her mom said. + +"I love it! It's so pretty. Can I hang it on my wall?" Sara said. + +"Of course you can. Grandma would be happy to see that. She also wrote you a nice message. Do you want me to read it to you?" her mom said. + +"Yes, please," Sara said. + +Her mom read the note aloud. It said: + +"Dear Sara, + +I hope you are having fun and being good. I miss you very much and I can't wait to see you again. You are my special granddaughter and I am very proud of you. I made this picture for you to surprise you and make you smile. I hope you like it. I love you with all my heart. + +Love, Grandma." + +Sara felt warm and happy inside. She hugged the note and then hugged her mom. + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. I love you both. I am very grateful for this note. It is the best surprise ever," Sara said. +Sara and Mom were in the car. They wanted to go to the park. But there was a lot of traffic on the road. The cars were very slow and noisy. Sara was bored and tired. She wanted to play and run. + +"Mom, when will we get to the park?" Sara asked. + +"Soon, honey, soon. We just have to wait a little bit more. The traffic will clear up soon." Mom said. + +But the traffic did not clear up soon. It got worse. The cars stopped and honked. The people shouted and waved. Sara saw a big truck with a loud horn. She was fearful. She did not like the truck. She hid her face in Mom's lap. + +"Mom, I'm scared. I don't like the truck. It's too big and loud." Sara said. + +"It's okay, honey. The truck is not going to hurt us. It's just trying to get to its place. We are safe in our car. Don't be fearful. Be brave." Mom said. + +Mom hugged Sara and kissed her head. She turned on the radio and played a song. Sara liked the song. It was a happy song. She sang along with Mom. She felt better. She was not fearful anymore. She was calm. + +"Mom, can we rest here for a while?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey. We can rest here for a while. We can listen to the song and look at the clouds. Maybe we can see some shapes. Do you see any shapes?" Mom asked. + +Sara looked at the sky. She saw a cloud that looked like a bunny. She saw another cloud that looked like a flower. She saw another cloud that looked like a heart. + +"I see a bunny, a flower, and a heart. Do you see them, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, I see them, honey. They are very pretty. You have a good eye. I love you, Sara." Mom said. + +"I love you too, Mom." Sara said. + +They rested in the car and smiled. They forgot about the traffic. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many wheels. Some wheels are big, some wheels are small. Some wheels are red, some wheels are blue. + +One day, Tom and Sam find a new wheel. It is very big and shiny. It is in the grass near the road. They run to the wheel and touch it. + +"Wow, this is a great wheel!" Tom says. "Can we take it home?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +They look around. They do not see anyone. They do not hear anyone. + +"Let's ask," Tom says. He sees a house near the road. He runs to the house and knocks on the door. + +"Hello, hello, is anyone home?" Tom says. + +No one answers. Tom knocks again. + +"Hello, hello, can we have the wheel?" Tom says. + +Still no one answers. Tom thinks the house is empty. + +"Come on, Sam, let's go," Tom says. He runs back to the wheel. He tries to lift it. It is very heavy. + +"Help me, Sam, help me," Tom says. + +Sam runs to Tom and helps him. They lift the wheel together. They carry it to their yard. They put it on the ground. + +"Yay, we have a new wheel!" Tom says. "We can play with it and make it spin." + +They push the wheel and make it spin. They laugh and clap. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a horn. It is a terrible horn. It makes them scared. + +They look at the road. They see a big truck. It is coming fast. It has no wheel. It has a hole where the wheel should be. + +The truck driver sees Tom and Sam. He sees the wheel. He is angry. He stops the truck and gets out. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with my wheel?" he says. "Give it back to me right now!" + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They did not know the wheel was his. They did not mean to take it. + +"We are sorry, mister, we are sorry," they say. "We thought the wheel was lost. We wanted to play with it." + +The truck driver is still angry. He takes the wheel from them. He puts it back on the truck. He fixes it with a tool. + +"Next time, don't take things that are not yours," he says. "And don't play near the road. It is dangerous." + +He gets back in the truck and drives away. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They lost their new wheel. They also feel bad for taking it. + +They go to their house. They hug their mom. They tell her what happened. + +Their mom is not angry. She is glad they are safe. She hugs them back. + +She says, "It's okay, my loves, it's okay. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, you will be more careful and respectful. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +Tom and Sam smile. They love their mom. They love their wheels. They still have many wheels. They will play with them tomorrow. +Lila loved to soar in the sky with her kite. She made the kite with her dad, using paper, sticks and string. She painted the kite with bright colors and drew a smiley face on it. She was very proud of her kite. + +One day, she took her kite to the park, where she saw a boy with a big balloon. The balloon was red and shiny, and it had a long ribbon. The boy was spoiled and mean. He did not want to share his balloon with anyone. He saw Lila's kite and wanted it. + +"Give me your kite!" he shouted at Lila. "It is better than my balloon!" + +"No!" Lila said. "This is my kite! I made it with my dad! Go away!" + +The boy was angry and rude. He grabbed the ribbon of his balloon and ran towards Lila. He tried to hit her kite with his balloon, but he missed. Instead, he hit a tree branch. The branch had a sharp needle on it. The needle popped the balloon with a loud bang. The boy cried and dropped the ribbon. The balloon flew away in the wind. + +Lila was scared and sad. She did not like the boy or his balloon. She hugged her kite and ran to her dad. Her dad was kind and gentle. He comforted Lila and told her she did nothing wrong. He praised her for making such a beautiful kite. He helped her to soar the kite again in the sky. Lila smiled and felt happy. She loved her dad and her kite. +Lily and Max were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do, but they could not find anything. + +"Mom, we need something to play with!" Lily whined. + +"Me too!" Max agreed. + +Mom was busy in the kitchen. She smiled and said, "Why don't you make something with the cardboard boxes in the garage? You can use scissors, tape, and crayons to decorate them. Be careful and have fun!" + +Lily and Max ran to the garage. They saw many cardboard boxes of different sizes and shapes. They had an idea. They decided to make a castle with the cardboard boxes. They cut out windows and doors, taped the boxes together, and drew bricks and flags with the crayons. They also made a cardboard crown and a sword for Max, and a cardboard tiara and a wand for Lily. + +They had a lot of fun pretending to be a king and a queen in their cardboard castle.

He feels happy when his kite flies high and fast. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his kite. He sees a lot of people and cameras. He wonders what is going on. He sees a man with a guitar and a microphone. He hears the man sing a song. The song is nice and catchy. The people clap and cheer. + +"Mom, who is that man?" Ben asks. + +"That is Tom. He is a famous singer. He sings on TV and on the radio. He is here to give a concert for his fans." Mom explains. + +"Wow, he is famous. I want to be famous too."

She hopes he will always have big dreams and have fun. She hopes he will always be happy. +Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.

They want to see who can make the highest stack. They each take some blocks and start to build. Tom says, "I will make a high stack with red blocks. Red is my favorite color." Lily says, "I will make a high stack with blue blocks. Blue is my favorite color." + +They build and build, but they run out of blocks. They look at each other's stacks. They are both very high, but they are not the same. Tom has more blocks than Lily, but Lily's blocks are bigger than Tom's. They do not know who has the highest stack. + +They think of a way to find out. They say, "Let's match our blocks. We can put one block from your stack next to one block from my stack. Then we can see which one is higher." They start to match their blocks. They take one red block and one blue block and put them side by side. They do this with all the blocks. + +They look at the matched blocks. They see that some blocks are higher and some blocks are lower. They count the higher blocks.

Ben and Mia liked the boat. It had a lot of rooms and toys and food. They also liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. + +One day, the boat stopped near the island. Mom and dad said they could go to the beach and play. Ben and Mia were very happy. They put on their hats and sunscreen and grabbed their buckets and shovels. They followed mom and dad to a small boat that would take them to the shore. + +On the way, Ben saw something shiny in the water. He pointed and said, "Look, Mia, a treasure!" Mia looked and saw a big metal box with a lock. She wondered what was inside. She said, "Maybe it has gold and jewels and toys!" + +Ben and Mia wanted to see the treasure. They asked mom and dad if they could get it. Mom and dad said no. They said it was too heavy and too deep and too dangerous. They said they had to go to the beach and have fun. Ben and Mia were sad.

They said they would be back soon. They wanted to explore the island and take some pictures. Ben and Mia said okay. They started to dig and build and splash and laugh. + +But they did not forget the treasure. They kept looking at the water and the boat. They wondered if they could sneak back and get it. They thought it would be fun and exciting. They thought mom and dad would be proud and happy. They thought they would be rich and famous. + +They waited until mom and dad were out of sight. Then they ran to the small boat. They untied it and pushed it into the water. They climbed in and grabbed the oars. They rowed as fast as they could to the treasure. They did not see the big waves and the dark clouds. They did not hear the thunder and the wind. They did not feel the boat rocking and tipping. They only saw the treasure. + +They got to the treasure and leaned over the side. They tried to pull it up. It was very heavy and very stuck. They pulled harder and harder. They did not notice the boat was sinking and filling with water. They did not notice they were in trouble. They only noticed the treasure. + +Then they heard a loud scream. It was mom and dad. They had seen them from the island. They had seen the storm and the boat and the treasure. They were scared and angry. They shouted and waved and ran to the big boat. They wanted to save them. They wanted to stop them. They wanted to hug them. + +Ben and Mia heard the scream. They looked up and saw mom and dad. They saw the storm and the boat and the treasure. They were scared and sorry. They dropped the oars and the treasure. They cried and screamed and hugged each other. + +They hoped mom and dad would get to them in time. They hoped the treasure would stay in the water. They hoped the storm would go away. They hoped they would be okay. They learned a lesson. They learned that treasure is not worth more than family and safety. They learned that the island was more beautiful than the treasure. They learned that they should listen to mom and dad. They learned that they loved each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big field of corn. The corn is tall and yellow. + +"Can we go and pick some corn?" Anna asks. + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "Dad told us to stay away from the corn. It is not ready yet. We have to be obedient." + +"But I want some corn," Anna says. "It looks yummy. And Spot wants some too. Look, he is wagging his tail." + +Anna runs to the corn field. Spot follows her. Ben runs after them. He is worried. + +"Anna, come back!" Ben shouts. "Dad will be angry. And there might be snakes in the corn. They can bite you." + +Anna does not listen. She reaches the corn field. She sees a big ear of corn. She tries to pull it off the stalk. But it is too hard. She can't do it. + +"Help me, Ben," Anna says. "Help me get this corn." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to help. He wants to go back. + +"No, Anna," Ben says. "We have to go back. This is wrong. We have to be obedient." + +Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. + +"Anna! Ben! Spot! What are you doing in the corn field?" It is Dad. He is coming towards them. He looks angry. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the corn. They run to Dad. Spot runs with them. + +"We are sorry, Dad," Anna and Ben say. "We wanted some corn. We did not listen to you. We were not obedient." + +Dad sighs. He is not happy. But he is not too angry. He loves his twins. And he loves Spot. + +He picks up the corn. He nods. + +"OK, I forgive you," Dad says. "But you have to promise me to never go to the corn field again. It is dangerous. And you have to wait until the corn is ready. Then we can have some together. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They hug Dad. They say sorry again. Spot licks Dad's face. He says sorry too. + +Dad smiles. He hugs them back. He says it is OK. He takes them back to the house. He gives them some milk and cookies. He tells them a story. They are happy. They are obedient. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They watch the birds and the dogs and the people. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big guard. He wears a hat and a coat. He has a stick and a whistle. He walks around the park. He looks hard and mean. + +"Let's play a game," Sam says. "Let's pretend we are spies. We have to watch the guard and see what he does." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be quiet and careful. He might catch us." + +They hide behind a tree and watch the guard. He walks and stops and looks. He blows his whistle and talks to some people. He picks up some trash and puts it in a bin. + +Sam and Ben think he is boring. They want to see something more exciting. They decide to follow him and see where he goes. + +They sneak behind him and keep a distance. They watch him go to a gate. He opens the gate and goes inside. They see a sign on the gate. It says "Zoo". + +"Wow," Sam says. "He works at the zoo. Maybe he takes care of the animals. Let's go and see." + +They run to the gate and try to open it. But it is locked. They look for a hole or a gap. They find one under the fence. They crawl under the fence and get inside. + +They see many animals. They see lions and tigers and bears. They see monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They are amazed and happy. + +They watch the animals and make noises. They laugh and clap and jump. They forget about the guard. + +But the guard does not forget about them. He hears them and sees them. He is angry and scared. He runs to them and shouts. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids. This is dangerous. You could get hurt. Come with me. Now!" + +Sam and Ben are shocked and scared. They see the guard and his stick and his whistle. They see his hard and mean face. They wish they had not followed him. They wish they had stayed in the park. + +They cry and say sorry. They follow the guard. He takes them to the gate.
