Go away!" + +The dog was scared and ran away. + +Tim and Sam were so happy. They hugged and laughed and continued on their way. +Once there was a special little girl called Lisa. She was very excited because today was a special day. She was going to a very special place - the park. As she zipped around on her scooter, she looked up and noticed the beautiful loopy slide. She hopped off her scooter and ran over to it. + +"Look mommy," she yelled. "I found a big loopy slide and I want to go down it!" + +Her mommy smiled. "That looks like it'll be lots of fun. Go ahead Lisa, give it a try!" + +Lisa beamed and ran to the slide. She climbed up the twisty steps and plopped herself at the start of the slide. + +"Are you ready Lisa," her mommy asked. + +"Yes!" Lisa said with excitement. + +"Okay. Let's go!" said her mommy. + +Lisa pushed off and was soon flying down the unique slide. "Wheeeeee!" she yelled as she zoomed around the loopy corners. When she reached the bottom, she leapt off with a big grin. + +"That was the best slide ever Mommy," she shouted. "Can we go again?" + +Her mommy laughed. "Of course. Let's go zip around some more!" +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sarah. She was three-years-old and loved to play outdoors. One summer day, she went for a walk in the woods with her mom. She looked up at the sky and saw the most perfect blue she had ever seen. + +"Mommy, I wish I had sunglasses like those so I can look at the sky," said Sarah. + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course! I can help you design sunglasses you can wear." + +Sarah was so excited. She and her mom got to work right away. They chose the shape and size of the frames and picked out the perfect color lenses. In the end, Sarah's mom made her a perfect pair of sunglasses. + +Sarah was so happy. She put on her new sunglasses and smiled. "They look perfect, Mommy!" she said. + +Sarah ran outside and, with her sunglasses on, she looked up at the sky and had the best view.

He had a sore ear, so he kept making a lot of noise. + +Up ahead, a little bunny was picking flowers. He heard the bear and hopped over to him. + +The bunny asked, "What's wrong?" + +The bear said, "I have a sore ear. I need to remove it." + +The bunny was very kind. He said, "Let me help. This might make it feel better." + +The bunny picked a soft flower and put it next to the bear's ear. The bear sighed with relief. + +The bunny said, "There, now it feels better! Now you can go on your way, happy bear!" + +The bear smiled. He thanked the bunny and happily went back into the woods. +Once upon a time, there was a small girl.

I was so scared!" + +Her mom answered, "Well, luckily, I worked hard to find you quickly. Now, why don't you come with me. I have something special for you!" + +Jane was curious and followed her mom. When they arrived, Jane couldn't believe it. Mom had bought her a brand new, beautiful pink dress!

Come with me and you’ll see.†+ +Sarah jumped with joy and hopped into the van to find out what was inside. It was even more exciting than she thought! Inside the van was a big trampoline and some new toys. + +Sarah laughed and clapped. “This is so fun!†she said, jumping on the trampoline. + +The funny old man smiled and watched Sarah play. “What a surprise,†he said to himself. “The look on her face says it all.†+Once upon a time, there was a dad and a baby brother. The little brother was very naughty and often made a huge mess. Dad was tired of cleaning up his mess, so he decided to prevent it happening again. + +Dad said to the little brother, "No mess! No mess!" +The little brother nodded in agreement. + +Then Dad had an idea. He said, "Let’s do a turn around the room. You turn, and I'll follow!" + +The little brother had lots of fun turning in circles around the room, and Dad was happy because no mess was getting made.

No more messes! +Dave was painting a picture. He was using bright, colourful paints and was enjoying himself. Suddenly, a coin dropped from the sky. It landed on Dave's painting!

He put the coin in his pocket and kept painting. The sky was grey and gloomy, but that didn't stop him from having fun. He painted a sailboat and a rainbow and a big, blue sky. + +He finished his painting and showed it to Jane. She was so impressed, she said it was magical. + +Dave smiled happily.

This is History. It will show us what people used to do a long time ago". + +Sarah and her parents saw pictures of old kings, and toys from the past.

Thank you". + +Sarah smiled and said: "You're welcome!". Then she hugged her Mom and Dad and they all went home. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to sit outside. One day he went outside and noticed the most important thing of all: the seasons were changing. + +He sat down beneath a big tree and looked around. He saw the leaves changing colors and the sun setting earlier in the evening. + +“Wow,†said the little boy as he watched everything around him, “It must be a totally different season now!†+ +Just then, an old man walked by and said, “Amazing isn’t it? You can tell when the seasons are changing by looking around you and noticing the important things.†+ +The little boy listened carefully and smiled. He sat there for a long time, taking in all the important things he saw. + +The little boy enjoyed the new season, and took pleasure in the important things he saw. Every day he would go outside and sit beneath the big tree, taking it all in. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jeremy. He loved to take walks with his mom, and today they were headed to the park. + +Jeremy couldn't wait. He jumped up and down, and said "Mommy, can we go fast? Can we zoom?" + +"We can try," his mom said, with a smile. + +So Jeremy and his mom went for a walk. It was a mild day with a gentle breeze, and as Jeremy ran and skipped, he said "This is so much fun!" + +They arrived at the park, and Jeremy couldn't contain his excitement. He shouted "Yay!" and ran to his favorite spot, a big grassy hill. + +He raced down the hill again and again, just repeating it. His mom laughed and said, "Come on! Let's go swing on the swings now!" + +Jeremy was happy to follow. He liked to go higher and higher, and go faster and faster. It was almost like he was zooming! + +When they had had enough, they hugged and headed home. Jeremy was tired, but he was still smiling. He was already looking forward to the next time they could go zoom at the park. +Mom was knitting with her soft yarn. Tommy watched her make a scarf. Mom shushed Tommy and said, "Listen!" He heard the soft sounds of the waves crashing down on the beach. + +They both headed outside and felt the warm sunshine. Tommy couldn't wait to splash in the waves. Mom told Tommy to stay close. + +The waves were big and exciting. They waved and rolled in powerfully. As they left the shore, the water was a bit sour. Tommy frowned and wrinkled his nose. + +Mom said, "Let's go find something else to do." They both turned to leave. Just then, a wave rolled in higher than the rest and splashed Tommy. He giggled and jumped around in the wet sand. Mom smiled and said, "It looks like the waves won after all." +Mrs Brown had a thick blanket. It was pink with white dots. Mrs Brown kept it on the left side of her bed. +One day, Jemma, Mrs Brown's 3-year-old daughter, asked Mrs Brown about the blanket. +"Mummy, is that your blanket?"

Its texture was thick and fuzzy. +"It's beautiful," she said. +Mrs Brown beamed with pride. +"Yes, it is," she said. +One day, Max had a football. He wanted to play with it, but it was too big. He asked his dad, "Can you help me fold it?" + +Dad said, "Sure Max. Let's try." + +Max watched as his dad showed him how to fold the football. He watched carefully and tried to copy his dad. + +At first, he was too weak to do it. He kept trying and trying, but it was hard for him. + +Then Dad said, "Here, Max. Give me your hands and I'll help you fold the football." + +With Dad's help, Max finally got it folded. He smiled with joy and hugged the folded football. + +Dad said, "It looks like you've got it! Good job Max!" +Once upon a time there was a mommy and a daddy. The daddy wanted to take the mommy someplace special. It was a distant place so the daddy asked the mommy to go with him.

The daddy replied, "It's a surprise! I can't wait for you to see it!" + +So the next morning they packed their bags and set off on their special trip. As they drove, they passed lots of different places. They saw rivers and hills and even a tall mountain. When they had been traveling for a while, the mommy asked, "Are we almost there yet?" The daddy smiled and said, "Yes, we're almost there!" + +Finally, they arrived at their destination - a beautiful beach. It was a distant place but full of fun and love.

There’s something wrong with the hut!†+ +The girl was scared, but she was brave, so she said, “Okay, show me!†+ +The man took the girl inside the hut. It was dark, but the girl could see something strange. All around the walls were hundreds of little black bugs, and they were all yelling. + +The man said, “These bugs have been living here, and now they won't move. Can you help me get rid of them?†+ +The little girl thought for a moment, then she smiled and said, “I know what to do!†She grabbed her toy vacuum cleaner and started to suck up all the little bugs. Soon the hut was bug-free, and the man thanked the girl for her help. + +The little girl smiled and said, “It’s okay. I'm happy to help.†+ +And that's how the little black hut returned to its quiet state. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim. Tim was three years old and loved to draw with chalk outside in the sun. One day, he was drawing a picture of a big, tall mountain. He made the mountain thin and used lots of different colours of chalk. Suddenly, Tim heard a loud scream! It seemed to be coming from the sky. He looked up and saw a big, bright bird. It was a beautiful bird, with yellow feathers and a big yellow beak. + +Tim smiled and waved at the bird. The bird flew closer, and Tim could see it was carrying something in its beak. It dropped the thing near Tim. It was a shiny yellow feather! + +Tim looked at the feather and smiled. He held it up to the sun and it sparkled in the light. With a happy scream, he ran inside to show his mum. + +"Mum, look what I found!" he said. His mum smiled and said, "That's a beautiful feather, Tim! You're very lucky." + +Tim smiled. He served the feather up high and made it twirl around the room. As he did, the feather sparkled and he couldn't help but scream with joy.

Suddenly, she felt a magical power and before she knew it, she was flying! She flew very high and could see the world from a different perspective. + +In the evening, Lucy returned home and found out the scarf had the power to reverse time. She was so excited to use this magical power to explore the world even further. + +But one thing she didn't realise was that reversal time also meant her getting older. She aged quickly as she used the scarf and soon became an adult. + +That's when she realised the danger of reversing time and she quickly took the scarf off. Tears filled her eyes as she realised she could never go back to being a young bunny again. + +Lucy put the scarf away and vowed never again to use its magical power. She hung it on her wall as a reminder to be careful when using something so powerful. +Once upon a time, there was a family. They had a mom, a dad and a little one who was three years old.

They put on their old clothes and took the laundry basket outside. + +The little one looked out of her window and saw her mommy and daddy working. She called out: "Mommy and Daddy, why are you doing laundry when it's dark outside?" + +Mommy replied: "It's dark already, and so we have to do the laundry quickly because it won't take too long. We must do it now so it will be ready for tomorrow." + +Little one. "But why, Mommy?" + +Mommy smiled and said: "Because if we wait until tomorrow, the laundry will be weak and the clothes won't be as fresh and clean." + +And so the mommy and daddy finished up their work and went back inside. The little one was now fast asleep, dreaming of tomorrow and all the fun things she would do. +Bob and Sue were playing in the garden. Bob found a big bell in the mud. He was so excited! + +Sue said, “Let’s bury the bell. We can make it our secret.†+ +Bob agreed. So the two of them dug a hole and buried the bell under a big tree. + +When they were done, Bob said, “Let’s ring the bell and make it lively.†+ +So they took turns pulling the bell out of the ground and ringing it. Ding! Ding! Ding! It made such a happy sound. + +The two of them laughed and played with the bell until it was time to go inside for dinner. + +They said goodbye to their secret bell and promised to come back and play with it again soon. +One day, Joe wanted to go to the park.

His friends were jealous of how fast the bicycle was. + +When Joe got to the park, he took his toys out of his pocket and showed them to his friends. They all had fun playing together. + +When Joe was ready to go home, he put the toys back in his pocket, and said goodbye to his friends. Then he climbed on the bicycle and raced home. + +Joe's mommy was so happy to see him return home safely.

"It's only a dead bird. Let's keep playing," he said. + +The girl thought for a moment. "We should remove the bird's neck," she said. The boy looked surprised. "What?" he said. "Why should we do that?" + +The girl smiled. "Because it will help the bird feel better, of course!" she said. So they carefully took off the neck and laid it down next to the dead bird. + +The girl and the boy were so happy that they had helped the bird. From then on, whenever they saw a dead bird, they always remembered to remove the neck. The end. +Once upon a time there were two friends. One was called Tom and one was called Amy.

They said they loved them and they wanted them to have a good time. They said they would be with them all the time and they would take care of them. They said they should not worry about anything and just enjoy the vacation. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt a little better. They decided to try to have fun. They followed their mom and dad to the pool. They put on their swimsuits and sunscreen. They jumped into the water and splashed each other. They laughed and played. They forgot about their worries. + +They had a great vacation. They made new friends, they saw new things, they learned new skills, and they had new adventures. They realized that worrying did not help them. They realized that being wealthy did not make them happy. They realized that being with their mom and dad and having fun made them happy. They thanked their mom and dad for the vacation. They said they loved them and they were not worried anymore. +Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today they are restless. They want to do something new and fun. + +They see a big box in the corner. It is from Mom's new lamp. They think it can be a good toy. They take the box to the middle of the room. They find scissors in the drawer. They start to cut the box. + +They cut a door, a window, a roof. They make a little house. They are happy. They go inside the house. They pretend to be a family. + +But they do not know that Mom is coming. She hears a lot of noise from their room. She wonders what they are doing. She goes to check on them. + +She opens the door. She sees the box. She sees the scissors. She sees the lamp. She is angry. She says, "Tom! Jen! What have you done? You cut the box for my lamp! You made a big mess! You could have hurt yourself with the scissors! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom and Jen are scared. They come out of the house. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to cut the box. We did not know it was for your lamp." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you were restless. But you have to be careful. You have to ask me before you use scissors. You have to respect my things. You have to clean up your mess. Now go to your bed. No more playing today." + +Tom and Jen are sad. They go to their bed. They hug their toys. They wish they did not cut the box. They wish they did not make Mom angry. They wish they could play again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. They did not see the big cloud in the sky. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big pie for you!" Ben said. He held up his muddy hand. + +"Thank you, Ben, but I do not want to eat it. It is not good for me." Lily said. She shook her head. + +Just then, they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. Rain started to fall. It was very heavy and wet. + +"Oh no, we have to go inside!" Lily said. She grabbed Ben's hand and ran to the house. + +But they were too late. They were soaked. Their clothes, their hair, their shoes, everything was wet and dirty. They dripped water and mud on the floor. + +Mom saw them and was not happy. She frowned and said, "What have you done? You are a mess! You have to take a bath right now. And you will miss dinner. You are in trouble." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They knew they had been bad. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful. You have to watch the sky and listen for thunder. You have to come inside when it rains. You have to keep clean and dry. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will be good next time." + +Mom smiled and said, "I hope so. Now go and take a bath. And maybe, if you are quick, you can have some dinner later." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with colors. They had many crayons and paints and papers to make pictures. One day, they decided to make a big picture on the wall of their room. They did not ask their mom or dad, because they wanted to surprise them. + +They took their crayons and paints and started to draw and paint on the wall. They made flowers and trees and animals and stars and rainbows. They used many colors and made the wall very bright and pretty. They were having fun and did not notice the time. + +"Lily, Max, it's time for bed!" their mom called from downstairs. "Come on, you have school tomorrow!" + +Lily and Max looked at each other and then at the wall. They were very proud of their picture, but they also felt sleepy. They quickly put away their crayons and paints and ran downstairs. + +"Good night, mom, good night, dad!" they said and gave them hugs and kisses. + +"Good night, sweeties, sleep well!" their mom and dad said and tucked them in their beds. + +They did not see the picture on the wall, because it was dark and they did not go to their room. + +The next morning, Lily and Max woke up and ran to their room. They wanted to see their picture again and show it to their mom and dad. But when they got to their room, they saw something that made them gasp. + +The picture on the wall was gone! Instead, there was a big mess of colors and shapes and stains. The crayons and paints had melted and dripped and mixed and ruined the wall. It looked like a bad dream. + +"What happened?" Lily and Max cried. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to their room. They saw the wall and their faces turned red and angry. + +"Lily, Max, what did you do?" they asked. + +Lily and Max did not know what to say. They felt sorry and scared. They wished they had asked their mom and dad before making the picture. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily and Ben went with Mom and Dad to a restaurant. They liked to eat pizza and ice cream there. But today, the restaurant was very loud. Many people were talking and laughing and making noise. Lily and Ben felt scared and unhappy. + +They wanted to go home and play with their toys. They cried and whined and kicked their legs. Mom and Dad tried to calm them down. They said, "Shh, shh, it's okay. We will eat soon and then we will leave. Please settle down and be good." + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept crying and whining and kicking their legs. The people around them looked angry and annoyed. The waiter came and brought their pizza and ice cream. But Lily and Ben did not want to eat. They threw their food on the floor and made a big mess. + +Mom and Dad were very upset. They said, "That's enough! We are going home right now. You are being very naughty and rude. You need a time out." They picked up Lily and Ben and carried them out of the restaurant. Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had settled down and been good. They said, "We're sorry, Mom and Dad. We love you." Mom and Dad said, "We love you too, but you need to learn to behave better." They hugged Lily and Ben and took them home. +Lily liked to play with her pony toy. She had a pink pony with a long mane and a shiny horn. She named her pony Sparkle. Lily liked to make up stories about Sparkle and her friends. She used her mom's phone to record her voice. She pretended she was Sparkle and talked to the other ponies. + +One day, Lily was playing with Sparkle and her phone in her room. She was recording a story about how Sparkle saved the day from a mean dragon. She was having fun and did not hear her brother Tom come in. Tom was older than Lily and he thought ponies were stupid. He liked to tease Lily and make her cry. + +Tom saw Lily's phone and grabbed it. He said, "What are you doing, Lily? Are you talking to your stupid ponies? Let me hear what you said." He pressed the play button and heard Lily's voice. He laughed and said, "You sound so silly, Lily. Ponies are for babies. You should play with something cool, like cars or robots." + +Lily felt angry and sad. She loved her pony and her stories. She did not like Tom's words. She said, "Give me back my phone, Tom. You are mean and rude. Ponies are not stupid. They are magical and brave. You don't know anything about them." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "No, I will not give you back your phone. I will show everyone how funny you sound. I will send your recording to mom and dad and all your friends. They will laugh at you too." He ran out of the room with the phone. + +Lily ran after him. She shouted, "Stop, Tom. Stop. That is not nice. That is not fair. That is my phone. That is my story. Give it back. Give it back." She tried to catch him, but he was faster. She felt tears in her eyes. She wished Sparkle was real and could help her. She wished Tom would be nice and leave her alone. She wished she had her phone and her pony. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They had a big box of cars, but their favorite ones were the red fire truck and the yellow taxi. + +"Look, I can reverse my fire truck!" Tom said, making it go backwards. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +"That's cool, but I can go faster with my taxi!" Lily said, pushing it forward. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +They raced their cars on the carpet, pretending to be drivers. They did not see the lamp on the table next to them. It had a shiny bulb that made light. The lamp was plugged into the wall. + +Lily's taxi hit the table leg and made it shake. The lamp wobbled and fell off the table. The bulb broke with a loud pop. The light went out. + +"Uh-oh!" Tom and Lily said together. They stopped playing and looked at the mess. + +They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. She saw the broken lamp and the dark room. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked, frowning. + +"We were playing with our cars, mom," Tom said. + +"We did not mean to break the lamp, mom," Lily said. + +"You were careless, kids," mom said. "You should not play near the lamp. It could have hurt you. And now we have no light." + +She picked up the broken bulb and threw it in the trash. She unplugged the lamp and put it away. She told Tom and Lily to clean up their cars and go to their room. + +"We're sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. They felt bad. They did not like to make mom angry. + +They did what mom said and went to their room. They decided to play with their cars more carefully next time. They did not want to break anything else. +Lily was nervous. She wanted to talk to her grandma on the phone, but she did not know what to say. She liked her grandma, but she had not seen her for a long time. She held the phone in her hand and looked at her mom. + +"Mom, can you help me?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. What do you need?" her mom said. + +"I want to say hello to grandma, but I don't know how," Lily said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry, Lily. Grandma loves you and she will be happy to hear your voice. Just say what you feel and ask her how she is. Do you want me to stand with you?" + +Lily nodded. She felt better with her mom by her side. She pressed the green button on the phone and waited for the ring. + +"Hello, this is grandma. Who is this?" a voice said. + +Lily took a deep breath and said, "Hi, grandma. It's me, Lily. I miss you." + +"Hi, Lily. I miss you too. You sound so grown up. How are you?" grandma said. + +Lily smiled. She was not nervous anymore. She liked talking to her grandma. She told her about her toys, her friends, and her dog. She asked her about her garden, her books, and her cat. They laughed and said nice things to each other. + +Lily was happy. She loved her grandma and she loved the phone. She thanked her mom for helping her and gave her a kiss. She said goodbye to her grandma and promised to call her again soon. She hung up the phone and ran to play. She felt proud and brave. She had done a good thing. +Sara and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play games together. One morning, Sara wakes up early.

He says, "No, Sara, it is too early. I want to sleep more." + +Sara says, "Please, Tom, please. I have a new game. It is very fun. You will like it." + +Tom says, "What game is it?" + +Sara says, "It is a game with cards. The cards have pictures of animals. We have to match the animals that are the same. If we match them, we get a sweet. If we don't, we lose a sweet. Do you want to play?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes animals. He likes sweets. He says, "Okay, Sara, okay. I will play with you. But only one game. Then we have to go back to sleep." + +Sara is happy. She says, "Yay, Tom, yay! Thank you for playing with me. Come on, let's go to the living room. I have the game and the sweets there." + +Sara and Tom go to the living room. They sit on the floor and play the game. They have fun matching the animals and eating the sweets. They laugh and talk. They forget about sleeping. They are happy. +Sam was a dog who liked to play with his ball. He would run and jump and catch the ball in his mouth.

He did not know that the pill was for his owner, who was sick and needed it. He did not know that the pill was bad for dogs and could make them very sick. + +"Sam, no!" his owner shouted, when he saw what Sam was doing. He ran to Sam and tried to take the pill from his mouth.

He opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth. He was ready to jump and catch Tom or Lily. + +But then, a nosy duck saw the alligator. The duck was not afraid of the alligator. He was curious and wanted to see what he was doing. The duck quacked loudly and flew over the pond. He landed on the alligator's head and pecked his eyes. + +The alligator was angry and hurt.

He saw that it was empty. There was nothing on it, no picture, no color, no sign. + +"What kind of shield is that?" the dragon asked. "It has no power, no magic, no meaning. It can't protect you from me!" + +Lila felt sad. She had made her shield by herself, but she didn't have any paint or stickers to decorate it.

But Timmy was curious and wanted to see the soup. + +When mom was not looking, Timmy climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. He grabbed the handle and tried to lift it. But the pot was too heavy and hot for him. He let go of the handle and the pot fell on the floor. The hot soup splashed all over Timmy and the kitchen. Timmy screamed in pain and fear. Mom heard him and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Timmy crying. She was very angry and scared. + +She picked up Timmy and put him under cold water. She called the doctor and asked for help. The doctor came and looked at Timmy's burns. He said Timmy was very lucky, but he needed to go to the hospital. He gave Timmy some medicine and wrapped his wounds. He told mom to take Timmy to the hospital right away. + +Timmy was very sorry and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom and stayed away from the stove. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that some things are not for him to touch or play with. He learned that he should obey his mom and not be naughty. He learned that being curious can be dangerous and hurtful. He learned that soup can be bitter when it burns. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But today they have a problem. They want to dress up as different things. + +"I want to be a princess!" Anna says. She puts on a pink dress and a crown. She ties a belt around her waist. + +"No, I want to be a princess!" Ben says. He grabs the crown from Anna's head. He tries to put on the dress, but it is too small for him. + +"Give it back!" Anna cries. She pulls the dress from Ben's body. The dress rips. + +"Look what you did!" Ben yells. He throws the crown on the floor. He stomps away. + +Anna feels sad. She looks at the torn dress and the broken crown. She does not want to play anymore. + +Mama hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna and Ben sitting on opposite sides of the room. She sees the dress and the crown. + +"What happened here?" Mama asks. + +"Ben ruined my dress!" Anna says. + +"Anna took my crown!" Ben says. + +Mama sighs. She picks up the dress and the crown. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"I'm sorry you are upset," Mama says. "But you can't fight over things. You have to share and be kind. You are both good children, and you can both be whatever you want to be." + +Mama gives Anna and Ben some new clothes. She gives Anna a purple cape and a wand. She gives Ben a green hat and a sword. + +"Now you can be a fairy and a knight," Mama says. "You can have fun together. And you can take turns with the dress and the crown another day." + +Anna and Ben smile. They say sorry to each other. They hug Mama. They put on their new clothes. They go to play. + +The end. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big road. The road is dry and dusty. They want to draw on the road with sticks. + +"Look, Sue, I can make a house!" Tom says. He draws a square and a triangle. + +"That's nice, Tom. I can make a flower!" Sue says. She draws a circle and some lines. + +They have fun drawing on the road. But they do not see a car coming. The car is fast and loud. It makes the road dirty with smoke and oil. + +"Hey, kids, get off the road!" the car driver shouts. He honks his horn. Tom and Sue are scared. They run to the side of the road. + +"Sorry, mister!" Tom says. + +"That was dangerous, kids. You should not play on the road. The road is for cars, not for drawing. You could get hurt or make the road dirty. You should play in the park or the yard, where it is safe and clean." the car driver says. + +Tom and Sue feel bad. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We are sorry, mister. We did not know. We will not play on the road again. We will play in the park or the yard." Sue says. + +"That's good, kids. And you should also wash your hands and faces. They are dirty from the road. You do not want to get sick or make your clothes dirty." the car driver says. + +Tom and Sue nod. They go home and wash their hands and faces. They learn their lesson. They do not play on the road anymore. They play in the park or the yard, where it is safe and clean. They are happy and good. +Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play with blocks and build things. One day, they decide to build a grocery store with their blocks. They make shelves, a cash register, a cart and some food. + +"Look, Max, this is our grocery store!" Lily says. "We can sell food to our toys and pretend we are smart workers." + +"OK, Lily, that sounds fun!" Max says. "But we need more food. We only have a banana, a carrot and a cookie. What else can we sell?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mommy buys at the real grocery store. "We can make more food with paper and crayons!" she says. "We can draw apples, cheese, bread and milk. Then we can cut them out and put them on the shelves." + +Max likes the idea. He gets some paper and crayons and starts to draw. Lily helps him cut out the food. They work together and make many different kinds of food. They are very proud of their grocery store. + +"Wow, Lily, we did a great job!" Max says. "Our grocery store looks amazing. Let's play with it now!" + +"OK, Max, let's play!" Lily says. "You can be the cashier and I can be the customer. I will buy some food for our picnic." + +They take their toys and their cart and go to their grocery store. They have a lot of fun playing and pretending. They are happy and smart children. +Anna loved to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her for her birthday. She liked to make music with it and sing along. Sometimes, she played for her friends or her family. + +One day, it was very cold outside. Anna wanted to play the violin in the park, but her mom said no. "It is too cold, Anna. You will shiver and get sick. And your violin might get damaged by the frost. Let's stay inside and play something else." + +But Anna did not listen. She put on her coat and hat and took her violin. She ran to the park and found a bench. She started to play the violin, but she did not feel happy. She felt cold and sad. She shivered and her fingers hurt. She missed her mom and her warm home. + +She saw a man walking by with a dog. The man stopped and smiled at her. "Hello, little girl. What are you doing here? It is very cold. Don't you have a home?" + +Anna nodded. "I do, but I wanted to play the violin in the park. But it is not fun. I am cold and I shiver. And my violin does not sound good." + +The man felt sorry for her. He took off his scarf and wrapped it around her neck. "Here, this will keep you warm. And you know what? Your violin is very useful. You can use it to make friends. Like me and my dog. We like your music. Do you want to play with us?" + +Anna smiled. She felt warmer and happier. She nodded. "Yes, please. Thank you for your scarf and your kindness. What is your name? And what is your dog's name?" + +The man told her his name was Tom and his dog's name was Spot. They played together for a while, until Anna's mom came looking for her. She was worried and angry, but also relieved to see her safe and sound. She hugged her and thanked Tom for his help. She took Anna and her violin home, where they had hot chocolate and cookies. Anna learned her lesson. She decided to play the violin inside when it was cold, and outside when it was warm. She also made a new friend, Tom, and his dog, Spot. She was happy and grateful. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a lot of dolls and Ben has a lot of cars. They like to count their toys and see who has more. + +"I have one, two, three, four, five, six dolls!" Anna says proudly. + +"I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven cars!" Ben says, showing off his cars. + +"Wow, you have more cars than me!" Anna says, feeling a little sad. + +"But you have more dolls than me!" Ben says, trying to cheer her up. + +They hug and smile. They are happy to share their toys. + +But then, they hear a noise from the kitchen. It is their cat, Luna. Luna is very nosy. She likes to explore and touch everything. She sees a bowl of cookies on the table. She jumps on the table and tries to eat a cookie. + +"Hey, that's our snack!" Anna says, running to the kitchen. + +"Stop, Luna, stop!" Ben says, following Anna. + +They reach the kitchen and see Luna with a cookie in her mouth. She looks guilty and runs away. + +"Oh no, she ate one of our cookies!" Anna says, looking at the bowl. + +"How many cookies are left?" Ben asks, counting the cookies. + +"One, two, three, four, five. Five cookies are left!" Anna says. + +"That's okay, we can still have one cookie each!" Ben says. + +They take a cookie and eat it. They are happy to have a snack. + +But they also wonder what Luna is doing now. She is very nosy. Maybe she is looking for more cookies. Or maybe she is playing with their toys. They decide to go and find her. They love their cat, even if she is nosy. +Anna was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and she was her friend. She made a crown for her doll with some flowers and leaves. She was very happy. + +Then she heard a tiny voice. "Hello, can I play with you?" Anna looked around and saw a fairy. The fairy was very small and had wings. She was wearing a dress made of petals and had a wand in her hand. She was lovely. + +Anna was surprised and curious. She had never seen a fairy before. She asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from?" + +The fairy smiled and said, "I am Lily. I live in the rose bush. I saw you playing and I wanted to join you. You are very nice. Can I be your friend?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, of course. You can be my friend. This is my doll. Her name is Bella. She is a princess. Do you want to play with us?" + +Lily was happy and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you. You are very kind. Can I try your doll's crown? It is very pretty." + +Anna said, "Sure, you can. Here you go." She took off the crown and gave it to Lily. Lily put it on her head and said, "Wow, I look like a fairy princess. You are very good at making crowns." + +Anna and Lily played together for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They shared their toys and stories. They laughed and sang. They became good friends. Anna was glad that she noticed the fairy in the garden. She had a lovely day. +Lisa and Ben are playing in the park. They see a purple pigeon on a bench. They run to the bench and try to touch the pigeon. + +"Hello, pigeon! You are so pretty!" Lisa says. + +The pigeon is scared. It flaps its wings and flies away. + +"Come back, pigeon! We want to be your friends!" Ben shouts. + +They chase the pigeon around the park. The pigeon is tired. It lands on a tree. + +Lisa and Ben stop under the tree. They look up at the pigeon. + +"Please, pigeon, don't be afraid. We are nice. We have some bread for you," Lisa says. + +She takes out a piece of bread from her pocket and breaks it into small pieces. She throws some pieces on the ground. + +"Look, pigeon, yummy bread. Come and eat," Ben says. + +He throws some pieces on the tree. + +The pigeon is hungry. It sees the bread. It hops down from the tree and pecks at the bread. + +Lisa and Ben smile. They sit on the ground and watch the pigeon. + +The pigeon relaxes. It is not scared anymore. It coos softly. + +"See, pigeon, we are friends now. You can stay with us," Lisa says. + +She gently strokes the pigeon's purple feathers. + +The pigeon likes Lisa and Ben. It snuggles close to them. + +They are happy. They share the bread with the pigeon. + +They play and relax in the park. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play together. They have a big calendar on the wall. The calendar has many pictures and numbers. The pictures show different things that happen in each month. + +One day, Ben and Lily look at the calendar. They see a picture of a race. The race is in June. The race is for kids. They can run, bike, or swim. Ben and Lily want to join the race. + +"Let's join the race!" Ben says. "We can practice every day. We can be fast and strong." + +"Yes, let's join the race!" Lily says. "We can have fun and win medals. We can make our parents proud." + +Ben and Lily sign up for the race. They practice every day. They run, bike, and swim. They help each other and cheer each other. They have fun and learn new skills. + +The day of the race comes. Ben and Lily are excited and nervous.

He makes lines and dots and shapes. He thinks his marks are pretty. + +One day, Sam finds a new pen. It is big and shiny and has many colors. Sam wants to mark with it. He opens the pen and sees a soft tip. He touches it and feels a wet drop. He smiles and starts to mark on his bed. + +He marks red and blue and green and yellow. He marks on his pillow, on his blanket, on his teddy bear. He thinks his bed is more pretty now. + +But then, his mom comes in. She sees the marks on the bed and gasps. She is not happy. She says, "Sam, what did you do? You marked on your bed with a pen! That is not good. That is not nice. That is not how you use a pen. You made a big mess. You need to clean it up." + +Sam feels sad. He did not want to make mom unhappy. He did not know the pen was bad. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to mark. I like to mark. The pen was pretty. I thought the bed would be pretty too." + +Mom sighs and hugs Sam. She says, "I know, Sam. I know you like to mark. But you need to be careful with pens. Some pens are not for marking on beds. They are for marking on paper. They make stains that are hard to remove. You need to ask me before you use a new pen. And you need to respect your things. Your bed is for sleeping, not for marking. It should be clean and comfortable. Do you understand?" + +Sam nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I will ask you next time. I will mark on paper. I will clean my bed. I will make it comfortable again." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good, Sam. I love you. Now, let's go and get some soap and water and a cloth. We will clean your bed together.

And her hands do not hold the handlebars. She wobbles and falls off the bicycle. She is not hurt, but she is sad. + +"Tom, your bicycle does not fit me. It is too big. I cannot ride it." Lily says. + +Tom helps Lily get up. He sees her sad face. He wants to make her happy. + +"Lily, do not be sad. You can ride my old bicycle. It is smaller. It will fit you." Tom says. + +He runs to his garage and brings his old bicycle. It is blue and has a bell. He gives it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. Your old bicycle is very nice too. Can I ring the bell?" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, you can ring the bell. It is funny. It makes a loud sound." Tom says. + +Lily rings the bell. It goes ding-dong. She laughs. Tom laughs too. They ride their bicycles together. They have fun. They are happy. +Anna likes to play with her toy phone. She pretends to call her friends and family and talk to them. She likes to repeat what they say, like "Hello, how are you?" and "I love you, bye-bye". + +One day, she finds a real phone on the table. She thinks it is a toy and picks it up.

They explain to her that she made a false alarm and that it is very bad. They tell her to never play with a real phone again. They say they are sorry for scaring her, but they have to teach her a lesson. They give her a start and make a loud siren noise. Anna drops the phone and cries. She learns her lesson and never repeats what she hears on the phone again. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +Tim goes first. He climbs up the steps. He sits on the slide. He leans back and pushes with his feet. He slides down fast. He laughs and says, "Whee!" + +Sam goes next. He is bigger than Tim. He climbs up the steps. He sits on the slide. He leans back and pushes with his feet. But he does not slide down fast.

They lived in different houses on their street. + +The red robot took the letters and packages and went outside. He walked to each house and rang the doorbell. He gave the letters and packages to Ben and Mia's friends. They were very happy and thanked the red robot. + +"Beep boop, you are welcome!" the red robot said. He smiled and waved. + +When the red robot finished, he went back to Ben and Mia's house. They were waiting for him. They hugged him and told him he did a great job. + +"Red robot, you are the best mailman ever!" Mia said. + +"Beep boop, thank you!" the red robot said. "I had fun!" + +Ben and Mia and the red robot played some more. They were very happy. They loved their red robot. +Sara and Tom are playing in the living room.

They wish they had not played with the ashtray. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had a happy ending. +Tom and Mia are bored. They have nothing to do. They look at the toys on the floor, but they are dull. They look at the books on the shelf, but they are dull. They look at the TV, but it is off. + +"Let's play something fun," Tom says. + +"Like what?" Mia asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a big roll of paper in the corner. He has an idea. + +"Let's wrap the couch!" he says. + +Mia smiles. She likes the idea. They run to the paper and tear off a long piece. They drag it to the couch and start to wrap it around. They laugh as they make the couch look like a big present. + +They wrap and wrap until the paper is gone. They admire their work. The couch looks funny and colorful. + +"Wow, we did a good job," Tom says. + +"Yes, we did," Mia agrees. + +They sit on the couch and pretend to open it. They make noises of surprise and joy.

He finds a tissue in his pocket and wipes her knee. + +"Thank you, Tom," Sara says. "You are a good friend." + +Tom smiles. "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good friend, too. But next time, be careful on the slide. It is not for little kids." + +Sara nods. She learns her lesson. She will not slide on the high slide again. She will only slide on the low slide. It is safer and more fun. She and Tom sit on the bench and wait for their moms. They talk and laugh and hug. They are happy. They are friends. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals and plants. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They see corn, wheat, carrots, and apples. + +One day, they want to play a game.

It is big and orange. She is very happy. + +"Can I see your basketball?" Ben asks Lily. + +"Sure, here you go." Lily gives Ben her basketball. + +Ben holds the basketball in his hands. He feels how round and bouncy it is. He wants to keep it for himself. He thinks of a plan. + +"Let's play a game," Ben says. "I will throw the basketball very high in the air. You have to catch it. If you catch it, you win. If you drop it, I win. And the winner gets to keep the basketball. OK?" + +"OK," Lily says. She trusts Ben. He is her friend. He is reliable. + +Ben throws the basketball very high in the air. Lily runs to catch it. She stretches her arms. She jumps. But the basketball is too high. She can't reach it.

Not everyone is reliable. +Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of waste near the swings. It is smelly and dirty. + +"Yuck! Who put this here?" Jen asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe some bad people," Tom says. + +They want to swing, but the waste is in the way. They try to move it, but it is too heavy. They struggle and push, but nothing happens. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +A man hears them. He is a worker. He has a truck and a shovel. He is attractive. He has a nice smile and a blue hat. + +"What are you doing, kids?" he asks. + +"We want to swing, but the waste is blocking us," Jen says. + +"That's not good. This waste should not be here. It is bad for the park and the animals. I will help you," he says. + +He uses his shovel and his truck to move the waste. He puts it in a big bin. He makes the park clean and safe. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Jen and Tom say. + +"You're welcome, kids. Now you can swing and have fun. But remember, don't touch the waste. It can make you sick," he says. + +He waves goodbye and drives away. + +Jen and Tom are happy. They swing and laugh. They think the man is very nice and brave. They want to be like him when they grow up. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with coins. They had a big jar of coins that they found in the street, under the sofa, or in their mom's purse. They liked to make different things with the coins, like towers, trains, or rings. + +One day, they saw a coin that was different from the others. It was shiny and round, but it was also flexible. They could bend it and twist it with their fingers. They wondered what it was and where it came from. + +"Let's make a necklace with it," Sam said. "It will look pretty and cool." + +"OK," Tom said. "But be careful. It might break." + +They took a string and started to thread the coin and some other coins on it. They made a long and colorful necklace. They were very happy and proud of their work. + +"Look, mom," Sam said, showing the necklace to their mom. "We made this with a flexible coin. Do you like it?" + +Mom looked at the necklace and gasped. She recognized the flexible coin. It was not a coin at all. It was a button from her new coat. She had lost it this morning and had been looking for it everywhere. It was very expensive and hard to replace. + +"Sam, Tom, what have you done?" she said, angrily. "This is not a coin. This is a button. You ruined my coat. How could you be so careless and naughty?" + +She snatched the necklace from Sam's hand and pulled the button off. The string broke and the coins fell to the floor. Sam and Tom felt very sad and sorry. They had not meant to make mom angry or to ruin her coat. They had only wanted to make something fun and beautiful. But they had made a big mistake. They wished they had never seen the flexible coin. +Timmy liked to look for bugs in the garden. He saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. He wanted to touch it. + +"Hello, caterpillar," he said. "Can I be your friend?" + +The caterpillar did not say anything. It moved its head and feet. It made a sign with its body. It curled up like a ball. + +"What does that mean?" Timmy asked. "Are you scared of me?" + +The caterpillar uncurled and moved again. It made another sign. It pointed to the sky with its head. + +"Are you looking at the sky?" Timmy asked. "Do you want to fly?" + +The caterpillar nodded. It made a happy sign. It smiled with its mouth. + +Timmy smiled too. He thought the caterpillar was not ordinary. It was special. It had a dream. + +"I will help you," he said. "I will make you a house. You can sleep there and grow wings." + +He picked up the caterpillar gently. He put it in a jar. He gave it some leaves and a stick. He poked some holes in the lid. + +"Good night, caterpillar," he said. "I will see you tomorrow." + +He took the jar to his room. He put it on his table. He hoped the caterpillar would be happy. He hoped it would become a butterfly. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Lila shouted. "We made a snowman!" + +Mommy came out of the house and smiled. "You did a great job, Lila and Ben. Your snowman is very nice. He looks very happy in the snow." + +Mommy took a picture of them with the snowman. She said, "This picture is very value. It shows how much fun you had today. I will put it on the fridge." + +Lila and Ben hugged Mommy and thanked her. They went back to playing with the snowman. + +But then, a big dog came running. He saw the snowman and thought it was a toy. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. He bit the carrot nose and the buttons. He tore the hat and the scarf. He made a big mess. + +Lila and Ben were very sad. They cried and shouted, "No, no, no! Bad dog, bad dog! Go away, go away!" + +The dog's owner heard them and came running. He saw what the dog had done and was very ashamed. He said, "I'm so sorry, kids. My dog didn't know. He thought it was a game. He didn't mean to hurt your snowman." + +He tried to fix the snowman, but it was too late. The snowman was gone. He said, "I will buy you a new hat and a scarf and a carrot and some buttons. I will help you make a new snowman. Please forgive me and my dog." + +Lila and Ben looked at him and the dog. They were still sad, but they were also kind. They said, "It's okay. We know you are sorry. We know your dog is sorry. We forgive you and your dog. But please, next time, keep your dog on a leash. He might freeze other things that are not toys." + +The dog's owner nodded and thanked them. He said, "You are very good kids. You have big hearts. Thank you for being so nice. I will keep my dog on a leash. I will not let him freeze anything else." + +He hugged them and gave them some cookies. He said, "Here, have some cookies. They will make you feel better. And let's go make a new snowman. Together." + +Lila and Ben smiled and nodded. They said, "Okay. Let's go make a new snowman. Together." + +They took the cookies and followed him and the dog. They made a new snowman. They gave him a new hat and a scarf and a carrot and some buttons. They were happy again. + +Mommy came out of the house and saw them. She said, "Wow, you made another snowman. He is even nicer than the first one. And you made a new friend. And his dog. How wonderful." + +She took another picture of them with the snowman. She said, "This picture is even more value. It shows how much you learned today. You learned to forgive and to share and to help. I am very proud of you." + +Lila and Ben hugged Mommy and thanked her. They said, "We love you, Mommy. And we love our snowman. And our new friend. And his dog." + +They played some more in the snow. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play with science toys. One day, they found a microscope in the attic. It was big and shiny and had a round glass on top. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben asked. + +"It's a microscope. It can make small things look big," Lily said. She had seen one in a book. + +"Can we use it?" Ben said. + +"Sure, but we have to be careful. It's not a toy. It's very old and special," Lily said. + +They took the microscope to the table and put a leaf under the glass. They took turns to look through the eye hole and see the tiny parts of the leaf. + +"This is amazing!" Ben said. "I can see the veins and the hairs and the dots." + +"Me too!" Lily said. "It's like a whole new world." + +They looked at other things too, like a feather, a coin, and a bug. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. + +But then, Ben had a bad idea. He saw a shiny ring on Lily's finger. It was her grandma's ring that she gave her for her birthday. It had a small stone that sparkled. + +"Hey, Lily, can I see your ring?" Ben said. + +"Sure, why?" Lily said. + +"I want to see the stone under the microscope. Maybe it has something inside," Ben said. + +He took the ring from Lily and put it under the glass. He looked through the eye hole and saw the stone. It was very pretty and had many colors. + +But then, he did something very bad. He turned the microscope knob too hard and too fast. He wanted to see the stone closer and closer. He did not listen to Lily who told him to stop. + +"Ben, stop! You're going to break it!" Lily said. + +But it was too late. The microscope made a loud crack and the glass broke. The ring fell to the floor and the stone popped out. It rolled away and got lost. + +Lily cried and Ben felt very sorry. He had broken the microscope and the ring. He had ruined their fun and hurt his friend. + +He tried to say he was sorry, but Lily did not want to talk to him. She ran away and told her mom what happened. Her mom was very angry and called Ben's mom. Ben's mom was very disappointed and took him home. She said he had to be honest and tell his dad what he did. She said he had to work hard and save money to buy a new microscope and a new ring. She said he had to say sorry to Lily and her grandma. + +Ben wished he had not been so greedy and careless. He wished he had been more careful and kind. He wished he had not turned the microscope knob so hard and so fast. He wished he had not lost his friend. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that being honest is better than being curious. He learned that being gentle is better than being rough. He learned that being a good friend is better than having a shiny ring. +Tom is a little boy who likes to eat. He likes to eat apples, cheese, bread and milk. He likes to eat them from the refrigerator. Sometimes he eats them when his mom is not looking. + +One day, Tom is hungry. He goes to the refrigerator and opens the door. He sees a big cake. It is his sister's birthday cake. It has pink frosting and candles. It looks yummy. + +Tom wants to eat the cake. He thinks his mom will not know. He takes a fork and cuts a small piece. He puts it in his mouth. It is sweet and soft. He likes it. + +But then he hears his mom. She is coming to the kitchen. She wants to speak to him. Tom is scared. He knows he did a bad thing. He hides the fork behind his back. + +His mom sees him. She sees the cake. She sees the hole in the cake. She is angry. She asks him, "Tom, did you eat the cake?" + +Tom does not know what to say. He wants to lie. He wants to say no. But he remembers his mom always tells him to be honest. She says honest is good. She says lying is bad. + +Tom feels sorry. He speaks to his mom. He says, "Yes, mom, I ate the cake. I am sorry. I was hungry. I will not do it again." + +His mom is still angry. But she is also happy. She is happy that Tom is honest. She hugs him and says, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Tom. I love you. But you still have to say sorry to your sister. And you have to help me make a new cake." +Timmy likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things and make noises. He watches cartoons every morning before school. + +One day, Timmy wakes up early and goes to the living room. He turns on the TV and looks for his favorite cartoon. But he does not see it.

She used a soft cloth and a bottle of polish that smelled nice. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She wore her new red shoes that had bows on them. She was very happy and ran around the grass and the flowers. She saw a big hill of soil and wanted to climb it. She did not know that the soil was wet and muddy. + +She ran up the hill and slipped. She fell down and got soil all over her shoes and her dress. She was very sad and cried. Her mom and dad came to help her. They hugged her and said it was okay. They said they could wash her shoes and her dress at home. + +They took her to the car and gave her a towel to wipe off the soil. Anna looked at her shoes and saw that they were not shiny and clean anymore. She felt sorry for them. She said, "I'm sorry, shoes. I did not mean to make you dirty. I will polish you again when we get home." + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Anna. You are a good girl. You know, some children do not have any shoes to polish. They are not as wealthy as we are. We should be thankful for what we have and share with others who have less." + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom and dad. I am thankful for my shoes and my polish. And I will share with other children who need them. Maybe I can give them some of my old shoes that I do not wear anymore." + +Her mom and dad said, "That's a wonderful idea, Anna. We are very proud of you. You are a kind and generous girl. And you have a beautiful heart." They kissed her and drove home. Anna felt happy again. She still loved her shoes, even if they were dirty. She knew she could make them shiny and clean again. And she knew she could make other children happy too. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the backyard. One day, they find a big hammer in the shed. Tom wants to use the hammer to make a house for his teddy bear. Sam wants to use the hammer to smash some rocks. + +"Give me the hammer, Tom!" Sam says. "I want to play with it!" + +"No, Sam, it's mine!" Tom says. "I found it first!" + +They start to pull the hammer from each other. The hammer is heavy and rough. It hurts their hands. They yell and cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the backyard. She sees the boys fighting over the hammer. She panics. She thinks they might hurt themselves or break something. + +"Stop, boys, stop!" Mom says. "The hammer is not a toy! It is dangerous! Give it to me, now!" + +Tom and Sam let go of the hammer. They are scared of Mom. They are sorry for fighting. They hug each other and say sorry. + +Mom takes the hammer and puts it back in the shed. She tells the boys to play nicely with their toys. She gives them a kiss and a cookie. They smile and say thank you. They learn to share and be careful. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a big doll that looked like a princess. Ben had a small car that zoomed around the floor. + +"Look at my princess, she is so pretty and nice," Anna said, holding her doll up. + +"My car is faster and cooler than your princess," Ben said, driving his car near Anna's doll. + +"No, it's not. My princess can do magic and shrink things," Anna said, making a gesture with her hand. + +"Really? Can she shrink my car?" Ben asked, curious. + +"Sure, watch this," Anna said, and touched Ben's car with her doll's hand. + +Suddenly, Ben's car became very tiny, like a bug. Ben gasped and picked it up with his fingers. + +"Wow, you were honest. Your princess can shrink things. But how do I make my car big again?" Ben asked, worried. + +"I don't know. Maybe you have to say a magic word," Anna said, shrugging. + +"Please, help me find a magic word. I love my car," Ben said, looking at Anna with big eyes. + +"Okay, okay. Let's try some words. How about... abracadabra?" Anna said. + +Ben repeated the word, but nothing happened. His car was still tiny. + +"How about... hocus pocus?" Anna said. + +Ben tried again, but no luck. + +They tried many more words, but none of them worked. Ben's car stayed small. + +They were getting hungry and tired. They heard their mom calling them for dinner. + +"Come on, kids. It's time to eat. Wash your hands and come to the table," mom said. + +Anna and Ben ran to the bathroom and washed their hands. Ben put his tiny car in his pocket. He hoped mom wouldn't notice. + +They sat down at the table and ate their dinner. Mom had made chicken and rice and salad. It was yummy. + +"Did you have fun playing today?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we did. We played with our toys and pretended to be animals," Anna said. + +"And we learned a new word: shrink," Ben said. + +"Shrink? What does that mean?" mom asked. + +"It means to make something smaller," Anna said. + +"Like this," Ben said, and took out his tiny car from his pocket. He showed it to mom. + +Mom looked at the car and gasped. She recognized it as Ben's favorite toy. + +"Ben, what happened to your car? It's so small!" mom said. + +"Anna's princess did it. She can do magic and shrink things," Ben said. + +"Is that true, Anna?" mom asked. + +Anna nodded. She was honest. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to make Ben's car shrink. I was just playing," Anna said. + +Mom sighed. She didn't know what to do. She was glad that Anna was honest, but she felt sorry for Ben. + +"It's okay, Anna. I know you didn't mean any harm. But you have to be careful with your toys. They are not real magic. They are just pretend. And you have to respect Ben's toys, too. They are his, not yours," mom said. + +"I understand, mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I wish I could make your car big again," Anna said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +Mom hugged them both. She loved them very much. + +"Maybe we can find a way to fix your car, Ben. Or maybe we can get you a new one. But for now, let's finish our dinner and then go to bed. It's been a long day," mom said. + +"Okay, mom," Anna and Ben said. + +They finished their dinner and then brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. Mom read them a story and tucked them in. + +"Good night, kids. I love you," mom said. + +"Good night, mom. We love you, too," Anna and Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of big cars and magic princesses. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cave in the woods. They wanted to see what was inside, so they took their toy guns and went in. + +The cave was dark and cold. They saw some shiny rocks and some bats. They also saw some ice on the walls. Tim said, "Look, Sam, this cave is icy. Let's shoot the ice and make it fall." + +Sam said, "OK, Tim, that sounds fun. But be careful, don't shoot too hard." + +They started to shoot the ice with their toy guns. They made some noise and some ice fell down. They laughed and shot some more. + +But they did not know that there was a big bear sleeping in the cave. The bear heard the noise and woke up. He was angry and hungry. He saw the boys and roared. + +Tim and Sam were scared. They tried to run away, but the bear was faster. He caught them and bit them. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. + +The bear ate them and went back to sleep. The cave was quiet again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. They were having fun, but they also wanted to go outside and play in the sun. + +"Mom, can we go out?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. There is a big storm coming. You can see the dark clouds in the sky. It might rain and thunder soon. You have to stay inside until it is safe," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily looked out the window and saw the clouds. They were gray and black and scary. They did not like the storm. They wanted it to go away. + +They went back to their blocks and tried to forget about the storm. They made a big castle with a gate and a flag and a moat. They pretended they were a king and a queen and they had a dragon to protect them. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud snap. They jumped and looked around. What was that? They saw a flash of light outside the window. Then they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. The storm was here. + +Ben and Lily screamed and ran to Mom. They hugged her and buried their faces in her arms. They were scared of the thunder. It was too loud and too bright. + +Mom hugged them back and said, "It's okay, my loves. The thunder can't hurt you. It's just the sound of the clouds bumping into each other. It will be over soon. You are safe with me." + +She took them to the couch and wrapped them in a blanket. She turned on the TV and put on their favorite show. She sang them a song and stroked their hair. She made them feel calm and cozy. + +Ben and Lily felt better. They watched the show and listened to Mom's song. They forgot about the storm. They smiled and snuggled with Mom. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their furry dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch Spot run and catch it. They were having a lot of fun, until they saw a big cloud in the sky. + +"Look, Lily, it's going to rain!" Tom said. "We have to go home now!" + +"But I want to play more!" Lily said. "Can we delay a little bit?" + +"No, we can't!" Tom said. "If we get wet, we will be sick. Come on, Spot, let's go!" + +Tom picked up the ball and ran to the gate. Spot followed him, wagging his tail. Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to leave. She wanted to delay. She crossed her arms and stayed on the bench. + +"Fine, I will stay here!" she shouted. "You go home without me!" + +Tom looked back and saw Lily on the bench. He felt worried, but he did not know what to do. He decided to go home and tell their mom. He hoped Lily would change her mind and follow them soon. + +But Lily did not follow them. She stayed on the bench, even when it started to rain. She did not care. She was too stubborn. She did not see the man who came out of the bushes. He had a big chest and a mean face. He saw Lily on the bench. He smiled and walked towards her. + +"Hello, little girl," he said. "What are you doing here all alone?" + +Lily felt scared. She did not know the man. She wished she had listened to Tom and gone home. She wished Spot was with her. She tried to run, but it was too late. The man grabbed her and put her in his chest. He ran away with her, and no one saw him. + +Lily screamed and cried, but no one heard her. She was trapped in the chest, with the man. She did not know what he was going to do to her. She regretted delaying. She wanted to go back to the park, to Tom, to Spot, to mom. But she could not. She was gone. +Tommy liked to go to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. He also liked to see the birds, the dogs, and the flowers. + +One day, when he was at the park, he saw something new. It was a big red car with many balloons. He heard some music and some laughter. He ran to see what it was. His mom followed him. + +It was a clown! The clown had a big nose, a funny hat, and a colorful suit. He was making jokes and tricks. He gave Tommy a balloon animal. Tommy smiled and said thank you. + +But then, the clown did something that made Tommy jump. He pulled a string and a big cake popped out of the car. The cake had candles and frosting. The clown said, "Surprise! It's your birthday, Tommy!" + +Tommy was very surprised. He did not know it was his birthday. He looked at his mom. His mom nodded and hugged him. She said, "Happy birthday, my sweet boy. I wanted to make it special for you." + +Tommy was very happy. He blew out the candles and ate some cake. He shared it with the clown and his mom. He thanked them for the surprise. He said, "This is the best birthday ever. I love you, mom. And I love you, clown." + +The clown smiled and said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are a very good boy. And you are very brave. You are not afraid of clowns." + +Tommy said, "No, I am not afraid of clowns. Clowns are fun and nice. And you are the best clown ever." + +They all laughed and hugged. They had a great time at the park. It was a quiet and sunny day. But it was also a very special and happy day. Tommy would never forget his surprise birthday with the clown. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They wanted to see who was faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and pushed her car forward. Ben did the same with his car. The cars zoomed across the floor, but Lily's car was a little bit ahead. She smiled and cheered. + +"I'm going to win! I'm going to win!" she said. + +But then, Ben's car got a boost of speed. It caught up with Lily's car and passed it. Ben was surprised and happy. + +"I'm going to deliver victory! I'm going to deliver victory!" he said. + +He reached the finish line first and lifted his car in the air. He looked at Lily and saw that she was sad. She stopped her car and looked down. + +"I lost. You won," she said in a low voice. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not want her to be sad. He liked playing with her. He had an idea. + +"Hey, Lily, do you want to play again?" he asked. + +Lily looked up and nodded. + +"Okay, but this time, let's switch cars. You can have the blue car and I can have the red car. Maybe that will make it more fun," he said. + +Lily smiled and agreed. She gave Ben her red car and took his blue car. They set up the cars again and got ready to race. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben shouted and pushed his car forward. Lily did the same with her car. The cars zoomed across the floor, but this time, Lily's car was a little bit ahead. She smiled and cheered. + +"I'm going to win! I'm going to win!" she said. + +And she did. She reached the finish line first and lifted her car in the air. She looked at Ben and saw that he was happy for her. He clapped his hands and congratulated her. + +"You did it! You delivered victory! You delivered victory!" he said. + +They hugged and laughed. They decided to play again and again, switching cars every time. They had a lot of fun and did not care who won or lost. They were good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a nice doll with a pink dress and long hair. Tom had a car with four wheels and a loud horn. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Tom said. + +"Can I play with your doll, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Lily said. + +They swapped their toys and started to play. Lily liked to make the car go fast and honk the horn. Tom liked to comb the doll's hair and change her dress. But soon they got bored and wanted their own toys back. + +"Tom, I want my doll back. She is my best friend," Lily said. + +"Lily, I want my car back. It is my favorite toy," Tom said. + +They both reached for their toys, but they got tangled in a string that was on the floor. The string was part of a kite that their dad had made for them. They pulled and pulled, but they could not get free. They started to cry. + +"Help, help! We are stuck!" they shouted. + +Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them crying and suffering. She felt sorry for them and helped them get out of the string. + +"Are you OK, my darlings?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are OK. But we are sorry. We were not nice to each other. We did not share our toys," they said. + +"That's OK, my darlings. I'm glad you are OK. Sharing is hard sometimes, but it is also good. It makes you and your friends happy. Why don't you hug each other and say sorry?" she said. + +Lily and Tom hugged each other and said sorry. They felt better and smiled. They decided to share their toys and play nicely. They also thanked their mom for helping them. Their mom hugged them and kissed them. She was proud of them and happy. She also gave them the kite and said they could play with it outside. They were excited and ran to the garden. They had a lot of fun with the kite and with each other. They learned a lesson and had a nice day. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll with a dress and a hat. Ben had a car with wheels and a horn. They liked to share their toys and take turns. + +"Can I try your car, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. You can drive it around the carpet. It is very fast and loud," Ben said. He gave her his car and took her doll. + +Lily made the car zoom and beep on the floor. She was having fun. Ben looked at the doll and saw a button on her back. He pressed it and the doll started to sing a song. + +"Wow, your doll can sing, Lily. She has a nice voice," Ben said. + +"Yes, she can. She is very kind and pretty. She likes to sing when she is happy," Lily said. + +Ben noticed that the doll had a zipper on her dress. He was curious and opened it. Inside, he saw a small pouch with something soft and round inside. + +"What is this, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"That is her stomach, Ben. She has a stomach like you and me. It is where she keeps her food," Lily said. + +Ben was amazed. He wanted to see more. He pulled the pouch out of the doll's dress. But he pulled too hard and the pouch came off. The doll stopped singing. + +"Oh no, Ben. You broke her stomach. Now she can't sing anymore. She is sad and hurt," Lily said. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break her. I just wanted to see. Can we fix her?" Ben said. He felt bad. + +"Maybe we can. We need to attach her stomach back to her body. Then she can sing again," Lily said. + +They looked for something to attach the pouch with. They found some tape and scissors on the table. They cut a piece of tape and stuck the pouch to the doll's back. They closed the zipper and pressed the button. + +The doll started to sing again. Lily and Ben smiled and hugged. + +"Yay, we fixed her. She is happy again. Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and smart," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm sorry I broke her. You are very kind and brave," Ben said. + +They put the tape and scissors back on the table. They played with their toys and sang along with the doll. They were happy and friends. +Tom was very sick. He had a big pain in his tummy. He had to go to the hospital for an operation. He was very scared. + +"Mom, I don't want to go," he said. "I don't like the hospital. It is cold and noisy and smells bad." + +Mom hugged him and said, "I know, Tom, but you have to go. The doctor will make you feel better. He will take out the bad thing in your tummy. He is very nice and gentle. He will give you a medicine that will make you sleep. You won't feel anything." + +Tom nodded, but he still felt scared. He held Mom's hand as they walked to the car. He saw his teddy bear in the back seat. He grabbed it and hugged it. He felt a little better. + +At the hospital, Tom met the doctor. He was wearing a blue coat and a mask. He smiled at Tom and said, "Hello, Tom. I'm Dr. Lee. I'm going to help you with your tummy. You are a very brave and patient boy. Do you have a name for your teddy bear?" + +Tom said, "His name is Bobo. He is my best friend." + +Dr. Lee said, "That's a nice name. Bobo can come with you to the operation room. He can watch over you while you sleep. He will be your helper." + +Tom liked Dr. Lee. He felt a little less scared. He let Dr. Lee put a band on his arm. He felt a small poke. He said, "Ow!" + +Dr. Lee said, "Sorry, Tom. That was just a needle. It will make you sleepy. You will have a nice dream. When you wake up, your tummy will be all better. Can you count to ten for me?" + +Tom said, "Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +He felt his eyes close. He felt Bobo in his arms. He felt Mom kiss his cheek. He heard Dr. Lee say, "Good night, Tom. See you soon." + +Tom fell asleep. He dreamed of playing with Bobo in the park. He did not feel any pain. He did not shake. He was patient. He was brave. He was happy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She painted on paper and on walls and on her face. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, Lily wanted to paint something new. She saw a big pot of spaghetti on the stove. It was red and yellow and curly. Lily thought it looked like fun. She took a spoon and scooped some spaghetti. She ran to her room with the spaghetti. + +She put the spaghetti on her bed. She used it as paint. She made a big mess. She painted spaghetti on her sheets and pillows and toys. She painted spaghetti on her hair and clothes and nose. She giggled when she painted. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was her mom. She was angry. She saw the pot of spaghetti on the stove. It was empty. She smelled the spaghetti in the air. She followed the smell to Lily's room. She opened the door and saw the spaghetti everywhere. + +She yelled at Lily. She said, "What have you done? You wasted the spaghetti! You ruined your bed! You made a huge mess! You are in big trouble!" She grabbed Lily and took her to the bathroom. She washed the spaghetti off her. She was very mad. + +Lily was fearful. She did not like to see her mom angry. She did not like to hear her mom yell. She did not like to feel the spaghetti on her. She was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to paint. I like to paint." She cried. + +Her mom calmed down. She saw that Lily was scared and sad. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, too. I know you like to paint. But you can't paint with spaghetti. Spaghetti is for eating, not for painting. You have to use paint and paper, not spaghetti and bed. You have to ask me before you take something from the kitchen. You have to clean up after you paint. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I won't paint with spaghetti again. I'll use paint and paper. I'll ask you first. I'll clean up later. I love you, mom." She smiled. + +Her mom smiled, too. She said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are a good girl. You are a creative girl. You are my girl. Now, let's go make some more spaghetti. And maybe, after dinner, we can paint together. How does that sound?" + +Lily said, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom." She hugged her mom. They went to the kitchen. They made some more spaghetti. And they ate it. And they painted. And they were happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There are many swings and slides and sand. + +"Let's build a castle with sand!" Lila says. + +"OK!" Ben says. They take their buckets and shovels and start to dig and pile up sand. They make a big tower and a wall and a gate. They are happy. + +"Look at our castle! It is powerful!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it is! We are good builders!" Ben says. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean and rude. He sees their castle and laughs. + +"What is this? A baby castle? It is ugly and weak!" he says. + +He kicks their tower and breaks their wall and gate. He throws sand at Lila and Ben. They are sad and scared. + +"Stop it! Leave us alone!" Lila says. + +"No! I can do what I want! I am bigger and stronger than you!" the big boy says. + +He keeps destroying their castle. Lila and Ben cry and run to their moms. They hug them and tell them what happened. + +The moms are angry and go to the big boy. They scold him and tell him to apologize. They teach him that he should not be mean and rude to others. They teach him that he should share and be nice. + +But the big boy does not listen. He does not say sorry. He does not care. He thinks he is powerful and can do what he wants. He is a bad boy. + +Lila and Ben do not want to play with him. They do not want to play with sand anymore. They finish their day at the park. They go home with their moms. They are still sad and hurt. They do not have a castle anymore. They have a bad ending. +Lily liked to observe things. She liked to watch the birds, the cars, the people. She had a big book with pictures of things she could observe. She wanted to learn more about them. + +One day, Lily went to the hospital with her mom. Her mom was a doctor. She helped people who were sick or hurt. Lily was proud of her mom. She wanted to see what her mom did. + +Lily's mom took her to a room with a big window. She said, "This is where we do operations. Operations are when we fix something inside someone's body. See that man on the bed? He is a famous singer. He has a problem with his voice. We are going to help him sing again." + +Lily was curious. She pressed her nose against the window. She saw people in blue clothes and masks. They had tools and machines. They looked busy and serious. Lily saw her mom go to the bed. She smiled and waved at Lily. + +Lily waved back. She wanted to watch the operation. But then, a big man came to the room. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing here? This is a private operation. You can't watch. Go away!" + +Lily was scared. She didn't like the big man. He was rude and loud. She said, "But I want to see my mom. She is a doctor. She is helping the famous singer." + +The big man said, "I don't care. This is none of your business. You are a little girl. You don't belong here. Go away or I will call security." + +Lily felt sad and mad. She didn't want to go away. She wanted to stay with her mom. She wanted to observe the operation. She said, "No, you go away. You are a mean man. You are not nice. You are not the boss of me." + +The big man was surprised. He didn't expect Lily to talk back. He said, "How dare you? You are a brat. You have no manners. You need to learn some respect." + +Lily said, "No, you need to learn some respect. You are not respectful to me or my mom. You are not respectful to the famous singer. You are not respectful to anyone. You are a bully." + +The big man was speechless. He didn't know what to say. He looked at Lily. He saw her eyes. They were bright and brave. He felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. You are right. I was wrong. I was a bully. I apologize. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Yes, I can forgive you. But you have to be nice. You have to be respectful. You have to let me watch the operation. Can you do that?" + +The big man nodded. He said, "Yes, I can do that. I will be nice. I will be respectful. I will let you watch the operation. Thank you for teaching me a lesson." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you learned. Now, let's watch the operation. Maybe we can learn something new." + +The big man smiled too. He said, "Yes, let's watch the operation. Maybe we can learn something new." He moved aside and let Lily see the window. They watched the operation together. They observed how her mom and the other doctors fixed the famous singer's voice. They were amazed and proud. They became friends. +Anna likes to draw and paint. She is very creative. She makes pictures of animals, flowers, and stars. She puts them on her wall and shows them to her mom and dad. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a boy playing with a ball. He has a sign on his shirt. The sign says "Tom". Anna wants to play with him, but she is shy. + +"Mom, can I play with him?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, honey. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Mom says. + +Anna walks to the boy and says "Hi, I'm Anna. I like your sign. What does it mean?" + +The boy smiles and says "Hi, Anna. My sign is my name. It's Tom. I like your dress. It has many colors." + +"Thank you. I like colors. I like to draw and paint. Do you?" Anna says. + +"Yes, I do. I have some crayons and paper in my backpack. Do you want to draw and paint with me?" Tom says. + +"Yes, please. That sounds fun." Anna says. + +They sit on a bench and draw and paint together. They make pictures of the park, the ball, and each other. They share their crayons and paper. They laugh and talk. They become friends. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy that Anna is not shy anymore. She is proud that Anna is creative and kind. She thinks that Anna and Tom have learned a good lesson. The lesson is: If you want to make friends, you have to introduce yourself and share your interests. +Tim and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite animal was the hippo. The hippo was big and gray, and it liked to swim in the water. + +"Mom, can we have a hippo as a pet?" Tim asked. + +"No, dear, hippos are not pets. They are wild animals, and they need a lot of space and food. And they are very expensive to buy and take care of." Mom said. + +"But mom, we promise to be good and share the hippo. We will feed it and play with it and love it." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties, but a hippo is not a good pet for you. How about we buy you a stuffed hippo instead? You can cuddle it and pretend it is real." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily thought about it. They really wanted a hippo, but they also knew that mom was right. A hippo was too big and too expensive for their home. And maybe it would not be happy with them. + +"OK, mom, we will take the stuffed hippo. But can we still come to the zoo and see the real hippo sometimes?" Tim asked. + +"Of course, we can. The zoo is always open for visitors who love animals. And maybe you can learn more about hippos and other animals there." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily smiled and hugged mom. They were happy with their stuffed hippo, and they looked forward to seeing the real hippo again. They learned that some animals are better to watch than to own, and that they should respect their mom's wisdom. +Sam and Mia like to play in the backyard. They have a lot of lumber that their dad gave them. They want to build something with the lumber. + +"What do you want to build, Sam?" Mia asks. + +"I want to build a fort," Sam says. "A big and strong fort." + +"OK, let's build a fort," Mia says. "But where do we build it?" + +Sam looks around the backyard. He sees a deep hole that their dog dug. He has an idea. + +"Let's build the fort in the hole," he says. "Then it will be hidden and safe." + +Mia likes the idea. They carry the lumber to the hole. They use nails and a hammer to make the walls and the roof. They make a door and a window. They put a flag on top. + +They finish the fort. They go inside and close the door. They feel proud and happy. + +"We did it, Mia," Sam says. "We built a fort." + +"We did, Sam," Mia says. "We built a great fort." + +They hug and smile. They play in the fort until it is time for dinner. They love their fort. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and looked yummy. + +"Let's pick it and eat it!" Ben said. + +"No, we can't!" Lily said. "Mum said mushrooms can be bad. They can make us sick." + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the mushroom and tried to pull it out. But it was deep in the ground and did not move. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben said. + +Lily did not want to help. She was angry at Ben for not listening. She went to Ben and pinched his arm. + +"Ow!" Ben cried. "Why did you pinch me?" + +"Because you are silly!" Lily said. "You should listen to Mum. She knows what is good for us." + +Ben felt sorry. He let go of the mushroom and hugged Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "You are right. I should listen to Mum. And I should not try to eat things I don't know." + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben back. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I'm sorry I pinched you. It was not nice. We should be kind to each other." + +They went back to their mum and told her what happened. Mum was happy that they learned their lesson. She gave them a hug and a cookie. + +The moral of the story is: We should listen to our parents and not eat things we don't know. We should also be kind to our siblings and not hurt them. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks. They have many trucks of different colors and sizes. They like to make sounds like vroom and beep. + +One day, they decide to play a game. They want to match their trucks by color. Lily has a red truck and a blue truck. Sam has a yellow truck and a green truck. + +"Look, Lily, I have a yellow truck. It is cool and bright. Do you have a yellow truck?" Sam asks. + +"No, I don't have a yellow truck. But I have a red truck. It is cool and fast. Do you have a red truck?" Lily answers. + +"No, I don't have a red truck. But I have a green truck. It is cool and big. Do you have a green truck?" Sam says. + +"No, I don't have a green truck. But I have a blue truck. It is cool and shiny. Do you have a blue truck?" Lily says. + +"Yes, I have a blue truck. It is cool and smooth. We have a match!" Sam says. + +They clap and cheer. They have matched their trucks by color. They are happy and proud. They continue to play with their trucks and have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they received a big box from their grandma. They opened it and saw a stuffed crocodile inside. It had green scales, sharp teeth and a long tail. + +"Wow, a crocodile!" Lily said. "It looks so real and scary!" + +"I want to play with it!" Ben said. "It looks so cool and fun!" + +They both reached for the crocodile, but they could not share it. They pulled and tugged and shouted. + +"Mine!" Lily said. + +"No, mine!" Ben said. + +The crocodile did not like being pulled and tugged and shouted at. It felt grumpy and sad. It wished it could go back to the box and be alone. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are hurting the crocodile and making it unhappy. You should be nice to it and share it. It is a gift from grandma, and she loves you both." + +Lily and Ben looked at the crocodile and saw its sad eyes. They felt sorry for it and for making their mom angry. They let go of the crocodile and hugged each other. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. + +They decided to take turns playing with the crocodile and to be gentle and kind to it. They thanked their mom and their grandma for the gift. The crocodile felt happy and loved. It smiled and snuggled with them. +Lila was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys. She had a new toy car that was red and shiny. It could speed on the floor and make loud noises. + +She got out of her bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it a little and peeked outside. She saw her mom in the living room. She was sitting on the sofa, reading a book. She had a soft blanket on her lap. It was velvet and blue. Lila liked to touch it. It felt nice. + +Lila decided to sneak out of her room and get her toy car. She was very quiet. She walked past her mom and reached for the toy box. She found her car and smiled. She turned it on and pushed it on the floor. It zoomed away, making a loud vroom-vroom sound. + +Lila's mom heard the noise and looked up. She saw Lila and the car. She was not happy. She put down her book and got up. She walked to Lila and picked her up. + +"Lila, what are you doing?" she asked. "You are supposed to be napping. You need to rest. You can play later." + +Lila pouted. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play. She hugged her car and said, "But mom, I love my car. It is fast and fun. Can I play with it, please?" + +Lila's mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lila. You can play with it after you nap. Now, come on. Let's go back to your room. You can take your car with you, but you have to turn it off and put it away." + +Lila sighed. She did not have a choice. She turned off her car and followed her mom. She hoped she would have a good dream about speeding with her car. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to go down the slide, swing on the swings, and run on the grass. They saw a big fountain with water that sprayed up high. They wanted to go closer and touch the water. + +"Mom, can we go to the fountain?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The water might be cold and wet. And don't go too close to the edge. Hold hands and stay together," Mom said. + +Lila and Ben nodded and ran to the fountain. They held hands and walked around the edge. They felt the water splash on their faces and laughed. They saw a rainbow in the water and pointed at it. + +"Look, Ben, a rainbow!" Lila said. + +"Wow, so pretty!" Ben said. + +They wanted to see more of the rainbow, so they leaned over the edge a little bit. But they leaned too much and slipped. They fell into the water and got soaked. They were scared and cold. They started to scream. + +"Help, Mom, help!" Lila screamed. + +"Mom, Mom, Mom!" Ben screamed. + +Mom heard their screams and ran to the fountain. She saw them in the water and reached out to grab them. She pulled them out and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, Lila and Ben? I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry, you're safe," Mom said. + +Lila and Ben cried and clung to Mom. They were glad she was there. She was dependable. She always helped them when they were in trouble. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't mean to fall in. We just wanted to see the rainbow," Lila said. + +"It's okay, Lila. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be more careful next time. The fountain is not a place to play. It's dangerous," Mom said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We'll be more careful next time. We love you, Mom," Ben said. + +"I love you too, Lila and Ben. Come on, let's go home and get dry and warm. And maybe we can see another rainbow on the way," Mom said. + +Lila and Ben smiled and nodded. They held Mom's hand and walked home. They learned their lesson. They still liked the water and the rainbow, but they liked Mom more. She was dependable. She was the best. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had many things inside. They saw a cane, a hat, a scarf, and some buttons. + +"Let's decorate the snowman!" Anna said. She took the cane and the hat. Ben took the scarf and the buttons. + +They ran outside. There was a lot of snow. They rolled some snowballs and stacked them up. They made a snowman. + +Anna put the hat on the snowman's head. She gave him the cane to hold. Ben wrapped the scarf around his neck. He used the buttons for his eyes, nose, and mouth. + +The snowman looked very nice. He had a brown cane, a blue hat, a red scarf, and black buttons. Anna and Ben smiled. + +"Hello, snowman!" they said. "We are your friends!" + +The snowman did not say anything. He just stood there. But Anna and Ben thought he was happy. They hugged him and played with him until it was time to go inside. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog with many spots. The dog is friendly and mild. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Wow, look at his spots!" Lily says. "He has black spots and brown spots and white spots. How many spots do you think he has?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe ten? Maybe twenty? Let's count them." + +They start to count the spots on the dog. They point at each spot and say the number. The dog likes their attention. He rolls over and shows his belly. + +"Look, he has more spots on his belly!" Lily says. "He is so spotty!" + +"He is the spottiest dog I ever saw," Tom says. "He is a good dog. What is his name?" + +They look at the dog's collar. It has a tag with his name. It says Spot. + +"His name is Spot!" Lily says. "That is a perfect name for him. Hello, Spot. We are Lily and Tom. Do you want to play with us?" + +Spot barks and wags his tail. He jumps up and runs around them. Lily and Tom laugh and chase him. They have fun with Spot. They discuss his spots and his name. They make a new friend. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved ice-cream. They always wanted to try new flavors and toppings. One day, their mom took them to a new ice-cream shop that had many original kinds of ice-cream. Lily and Ben were very excited and ran to the counter. + +"Can I have the rainbow ice-cream with sprinkles?" Lily asked. + +"Can I have the chocolate ice-cream with cookies?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, sweeties, but you have to hurry. The shop is closing soon and we have to go home," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and took their ice-creams. They were so happy and eager to taste them that they did not pay attention to where they were going. They bumped into each other and their ice-creams fell to the ground. Lily and Ben were very sad and started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't see you," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't see you either," Lily said. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves, accidents happen. But you have to be careful and watch where you are going. You don't want to lose your ice-cream or hurt yourself or others, right?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Right, mom." + +Their mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can get new ice-creams. But this time, let's try something different. How about vanilla ice-cream with strawberries for Lily and banana ice-cream with nuts for Ben?" + +Lily and Ben agreed and said, "That sounds yummy, mom." + +They went back to the counter and asked for their new ice-creams. They thanked the shopkeeper and walked slowly and carefully to their car. They enjoyed their ice-creams and learned a lesson. They realized that sometimes, being original is not as important as being safe and respectful. +Lily liked to help her mom with the flowers. She would water them and smell them and say their names. She knew roses and tulips and daisies and more. One day, mom brought home a big vase with many flowers. It was shiny and blue and had a picture of a bird on it. Lily thought it was very pretty. + +She wanted to see the flowers better, so she tried to lift the vase. But it was too heavy and too slippery for her. She pulled and pulled, but the vase did not move. She felt uncomfortable in her arms and her back. She started to cry. + +Mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily trying to lift the vase and hugged her. She said, "Lily, this vase is too big for you. You might break it or hurt yourself. Why don't you help me put it on the table, where we can both see it?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She let go of the vase and held mom's hand. Together, they lifted the vase and put it on the table. Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. The flowers are very pretty. Can I smell them?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. You are a very good helper, Lily. I love you." She kissed her and gave her a flower to hold. Lily felt happy and comfortable. She smelled the flower and said, "I love you, too, mom." +Sara and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a charming squirrel with a big bushy tail. The squirrel is holding an oat in its mouth and looking at them with bright eyes. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Sara says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The squirrel nods and drops the oat on the ground. It runs to Sara and Ben and jumps on their shoulders. They giggle and pet the squirrel gently. + +"Can we keep him?" Ben asks. "He is so cute and friendly!" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes the squirrel too, but she knows that he belongs to the park and the trees. She shakes her head and says, "No, Ben. He is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He needs his oat and his home. We can play with him, but we have to let him go." + +Ben feels sad, but he understands. He nods and says, "You are right, Sara. He is not a toy. He is a friend. We can play with him, but we have to respect him." + +They play with the squirrel for a while, then they give him back his oat and say goodbye. The squirrel thanks them with a chirp and runs back to his tree. Sara and Ben smile and wave. They have learned a lesson: to be kind and caring to all living things. +Lily and her mom went to the mall. Lily liked the mall. There were many things to see and do. She saw toys, books, clothes, and candy. She wanted to buy everything. + +"Mom, can I have this?" Lily asked, holding a pink doll. + +"No, Lily, you have enough dolls at home. We are here to buy a gift for dad. It is his birthday tomorrow. Do you remember?" Mom said. + +"Yes, I remember. But what can we bring for dad? He has everything too." Lily said. + +Mom smiled and took Lily to a special store. It was a store that sold things with pictures of famous people. Lily saw pictures of singers, actors, athletes, and heroes. She liked the pictures. They were colorful and shiny. + +"Look, Lily, this is dad's favorite singer. He loves his music. Do you think he would like a mug with his picture?" Mom asked, showing Lily a blue mug. + +Lily nodded. She thought the mug was nice. She liked the singer too. He had a funny hat and a big smile. + +"Let's bring this for dad. He will be happy and surprised." Lily said. + +Mom agreed. She paid for the mug and put it in a bag. She and Lily left the store and went to the car. + +"I can't wait to give dad his gift. He will love it. And he will love us too." Lily said. + +Mom hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. + +"He already loves us, Lily. Very much. And we love him too. He is the best dad in the world." Mom said. + +They drove home, happy and excited. They had a special gift for a special person. They had a famous mug for dad. +Lily was in her class with her friends. They were playing with blocks and dolls. Lily liked to make houses and shops with the blocks. She liked to pretend that the dolls were her customers and workers. + +One day, Lily saw a new doll on the shelf. It was very pretty and had a pink dress and long hair. Lily wanted to play with it. She looked around and saw that no one was watching. She took the doll and hid it in her backpack. + +Later, the teacher said it was time to go home. She asked the children to put away their toys and get their backpacks. Lily was happy that she had the new doll. She thought she could play with it at home. + +But when she opened her backpack, she saw that the doll was not there. She panicked. She looked inside and outside her backpack. She could not find the doll. She felt scared and sad. She wondered who took her doll. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was Ben, her friend. He had the doll in his hand. He said, "Lily, is this your doll? I found it on the floor. It must have fallen out of your backpack." + +Lily felt ashamed. She knew she did something wrong. She took the doll without asking. She was not honest. She said, "No, Ben, it is not my doll. It is the class doll. I took it without permission. I am sorry." + +Ben looked surprised. He said, "Why did you do that, Lily? You know you should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice. You should say sorry to the teacher and the class." + +Lily nodded. She felt sorry. She took the doll and walked to the teacher. She told her what she did. The teacher was not happy, but she was glad that Lily was honest. She said, "Lily, I am disappointed that you took the doll. That is not how we share and respect our toys. But I am proud that you told the truth. That is how we learn and grow. You can keep the doll for today, but you have to bring it back tomorrow. And you have to apologize to the class." + +Lily said, "Yes, teacher. I am sorry. I will not do it again." She hugged the doll and thanked Ben for finding it. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that honesty is the best policy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and fun. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to explore the woods behind their yard. They told Spot to come with them and ran into the trees. They saw many birds, bugs and flowers. They also found a small pond with frogs and fish. They wanted to catch some, so they looked for sticks and stones. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big stick!" Tom said. "I can use it to poke the frogs." + +"No, Tom, that's mean!" Lily said. "The frogs are living things. They don't like to be poked. Let them be." + +Lily was very kind and gentle. She liked to take care of animals and plants. She was also very independent. She did not always follow Tom, who was more curious and adventurous. + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He wanted to have fun and try new things. He took the stick and walked to the edge of the pond. He gazed at the water and saw a big frog sitting on a rock. He smiled and swung the stick at the frog. + +But he did not see the snake that was hiding under the rock. The snake was angry and scared. It jumped out and bit Tom on the leg. Tom screamed and dropped the stick. He fell to the ground and cried. + +Lily heard Tom's scream and ran to him. She saw the snake slither away and the blood on Tom's leg. She was very scared and worried. She did not know what to do. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. "What happened?" + +"A snake, a snake bit me!" Tom said. "It hurts, it hurts so much!" + +Lily tried to calm Tom down. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his leg. She told him to stay still and not to move. She looked for help, but there was no one around. They were too far from their yard and their house. They were alone in the woods. + +Lily wished they had never left their yard. She wished they had listened to their mom, who told them not to go into the woods. She wished Tom had listened to her, who told him not to poke the frogs. She wished they had Spot with them, who could bark and get someone's attention. + +But it was too late. Tom's leg was getting worse. He was pale and cold. He stopped crying and talking. He closed his eyes and did not open them again. + +Lily hugged Tom and cried. She did not know what to do. She was very sad and lonely. She gazed at Tom's face and hoped he would wake up. But he did not. He was gone. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray, and had a long nose that could pick up things. + +"Can we feed the elephant, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't. The elephant has its own food, and we have to follow the rules," mom said. + +Ben and Lily were frustrated. They wanted to be friends with the elephant. They saw a bucket of apples near the fence. They had an idea. + +"Let's sneak some apples to the elephant when mom is not looking," Lily whispered. + +"Okay, but we have to be quick and quiet," Ben whispered back. + +They waited until mom was talking to another mom. Then they grabbed some apples and ran to the fence. They threw the apples over the fence to the elephant. + +The elephant was happy. It ate the apples and thanked Ben and Lily with a loud trumpet. + +"Wow, the elephant likes us!" Ben said. + +"Maybe we can pet it too," Lily said. + +They reached their hands through the fence to touch the elephant's nose. But they did not see the sign that said "Danger: Do not touch the elephant". + +The elephant did not like being touched. It was scared and angry. It pushed the fence with its nose and broke it. It escaped from its cage and ran into the zoo. + +"Help! The elephant is loose!" mom shouted. + +Ben and Lily were scared too. They ran back to mom and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, mom. We did a bad thing. We fed the elephant and touched it. We did not follow the rules," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry too, mom. We wanted to be friends with the elephant, but we made it mad. We did not think of its feelings," Lily said. + +Mom was angry, but also relieved. She hugged Ben and Lily and said, "I'm glad you are safe, but you have to learn from your mistake. The rules are there to protect you and the animals. You have to respect them and their space. The elephant is not a toy, it is a wild animal. It needs its own home and food. You can be friends with the elephant, but from a distance. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to the elephant and to the zookeeper. They learned their lesson. They never tried to feed or touch the elephant again. They watched it from afar and waved to it. The elephant waved back with its nose and smiled. +Lily and Anna were sisters who liked to play with their mom's makeup. One day, when mom was out, they sneaked into her room and opened her makeup box. They saw many pretty colors and shiny things. They wanted to try them on their faces. + +"Look, Lily, this is red lipstick. It makes your lips look like a rose," Anna said, and put some on her mouth. + +"And this is blue eyeshadow. It makes your eyes look like the sky," Lily said, and rubbed some on her eyelids. + +They laughed and admired each other in the mirror. They felt very lucky to have such fun things to play with. + +But then, they heard the door open. It was mom, coming back home. They panicked and tried to hide the makeup box under the bed. But they were too late. Mom saw them and their messy faces. + +"Girls, what have you done? You have destroyed my makeup! That was very naughty of you. You know you are not allowed to touch my things without asking," mom said, very angry. + +Lily and Anna felt very sorry and scared. They started to cry and apologize. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We just wanted to look pretty like you. We didn't mean to destroy your makeup," Lily said. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We didn't know it was so important to you. We thought it was just for fun," Anna said. + +Mom sighed and calmed down. She hugged them and wiped their faces with a wet cloth. + +"I know you didn't mean to destroy my makeup, girls. But you have to understand that makeup is not a toy. It is something I use for special occasions. And it is very expensive and hard to replace. You have to respect my things and ask me before you use them. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Lily and Anna nodded and said they understood. They promised to never touch mom's makeup again without permission. Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"I love you, girls. You are very lucky to have each other. And you are pretty enough without makeup. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. And maybe later, we can play dress up with some old clothes and accessories. How does that sound?" mom said. + +Lily and Anna cheered up and said that sounded great. They followed mom to the kitchen, holding hands. They learned their lesson and were happy to have a kind mom. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had a big sack full of cars, trains, blocks and animals. They would dump the sack on the floor and make up stories with their toys. + +One day, they decided to play a game of mighty heroes. Tom put on a cape and a mask and said, "I am Super Tom, the mighty hero who can fly and lift anything!" Sam put on a hat and a belt and said, "I am Sam the Spy, the mighty hero who can sneak and spy on anyone!" + +They ran around the room, pretending to save the world from bad guys and monsters. They used their toys as props and made noises and voices. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +But then, they heard their mom call them. "Tom and Sam, it's time for lunch! Come and wash your hands!" Mom said. The brothers looked at each other and groaned. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to play more. + +"Can we play a little more, mom?" Tom asked. "Please, mom, just five more minutes?" Sam begged. Mom shook her head and smiled. "No, boys, it's time for lunch. You can play again after you eat. Now, come on, put your toys back in the sack and hurry up!" Mom said. + +Tom and Sam sighed and did what mom said. They picked up their toys and put them back in the sack. They dragged the sack to the corner and ran to the kitchen. They hoped that lunch would be quick, so they could play more. They still had many mighty adventures to do. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a sore throat. She felt dull and tired. Her mom gave her a pill to make her feel better. But Lily did not like pills. They were big and bitter and hard to swallow. + +"No, mom, no pill!" Lily said. She trembled and hid under the blanket. + +"Come on, Lily, it's just a little pill. It will help you get well soon. Don't be afraid," her mom said. She lifted the blanket and smiled at Lily. She held a glass of water and the pill in her hand. + +Lily looked at the pill and the water. She did not want to take them. She shook her head and closed her mouth. + +"Please, Lily, try it. It's not so bad. I'll take one too, see?" her mom said. She took a pill from the bottle and put it in her mouth. She drank some water and swallowed the pill. She made a funny face and said, "Mmm, yummy!" + +Lily giggled. She saw that her mom was not hurt by the pill. She thought maybe it was not so scary. She opened her mouth and let her mom put the pill in. She drank some water and swallowed the pill. She made a funny face too and said, "Yuck!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Good girl, Lily! You did it! I'm so proud of you. Now you can rest and get better." + +Lily smiled and snuggled with her mom. She felt a little less dull and a little more brave. She hoped the pill would make her fever and sore throat go away. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play at the park. They liked to swing on the swings. They liked to go high and fast. + +One day, Anna had a shiny coin. She showed it to Ben. "Look, I have a coin. I can buy a candy," she said. + +Ben wanted a coin too. He looked around the park. He saw a coin on the ground. He ran to get it. But it was not a coin. It was a button. + +Anna saw Ben. She laughed. "That is not a coin. That is a button. You cannot buy a candy with a button," she said. + +Ben was sad. He wanted a candy. He wanted a coin. He went back to the swings. He swung hard. He swung high. He swung fast. + +Then he saw something shiny in the air. It was a coin. It flew out of Anna's pocket. Ben reached out his hand. He caught the coin. + +Anna saw Ben. She was surprised. "Hey, that is my coin. You took my coin," she said. + +Ben smiled. He was happy. He had a coin. He could buy a candy. He said, "No, I did not take your coin. I found your coin. You lost your coin. Now it is my coin." + +Anna was mad. She wanted her coin back. She wanted a candy. She said, "No, it is not your coin. It is my coin. You give me my coin. Now." + +Ben and Anna started to fight. They pulled and pushed. They shouted and cried. They forgot about the swings. They forgot about the candy. They only wanted the coin. + +But then a big wind came. It blew the coin out of their hands. It blew the coin far away. They could not see the coin. They could not get the coin. + +Ben and Anna stopped fighting. They looked at each other. They felt silly. They felt sorry. They said, "I am sorry. I was mean. I was greedy. I do not need the coin. I need you." + +They hugged. They were friends again. They went back to the swings. They swung together. They swung high and fast. They did not need a coin. They had each other. They were happy. They were ready to play. +Ben and Lily like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on big papers on the floor. They make flowers, trees, animals and houses. + +One day, Ben wants to paint a big sun. He takes the yellow paint and makes a circle. He wants to make rays, but he has no more yellow paint. He looks at Lily's paper. She has yellow paint. He wants to take it. + +"Can I have some yellow paint?" he asks Lily. + +"No, it is mine. I need it for my duck," Lily says. She does not want to share. + +Ben gets angry. He kicks Lily's paper. The paint spills on the floor. Lily cries. She is sad. Her duck is ruined. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Lily asks. She is mad. + +"I wanted yellow paint. You did not give me any," Ben says. He is still angry. + +"That is not nice. You should ask nicely and wait for your turn. You should not kick my paper. You made a mess," Lily says. + +Ben looks at the floor. He sees the paint and the paper. He feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I was mean. I should not kick your paper. Can we be friends again?" he asks. + +Lily wipes her tears. She sees Ben's face. He looks sad. She forgives him. + +"It is okay, Ben. I am sorry too. I should share with you. We can be friends again. Do you want to paint together?" she asks. + +Ben smiles. He nods. He takes a new paper. He gives Lily some yellow paint. They paint together. They make a big sun and a happy duck. They are happy. They hug. They are good friends. +Anna was curious about the pill that mom gave her every morning. She did not like how it tasted, and she wondered what it did to her body. She asked mom, "Why do I need to take this pill?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "This pill helps you stay healthy and strong. It is like a tiny friend that fights the bad germs inside you. You are very brave to take it every day." + +Anna thought about what mom said. She tried to imagine the pill as a tiny friend. She wondered what it looked like, and how it fought the bad germs. She asked mom, "Can I see the pill? Can I talk to it?" + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, sweetie, you can't see the pill or talk to it. It is too small for your eyes and ears. But you can thank it in your mind, and tell it to do a good job." + +Anna nodded and took the pill from mom's hand. She put it in her mouth and swallowed it with some water. She closed her eyes and said in her mind, "Thank you, pill, for being my tiny friend. Please fight the bad germs and make me healthy and strong." She opened her eyes and smiled at mom. She felt better and happier. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love my tiny friend, too." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to explore the woods near their cabin. One day, they found a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside, so they crawled into the hole. + +They saw a lot of nuts and berries that looked yummy. They decided to take some and eat them. They did not know that the hole was the home of a squirrel. + +The squirrel came back and saw the twins chewing his food. He was very angry and scared. He started to make loud noises and scratch them with his claws. + +"Ow! Ow! Let's go!" Lily cried. + +"Sorry, sorry, we did not know!" Ben said. + +They ran out of the hole and back to their cabin. They had scratches and bites on their arms and legs. They told their mom what happened. + +Mom was not happy. She cleaned their wounds and gave them a hug. She said, "You should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice. The squirrel worked hard to gather his food for the winter. How would you feel if someone took your toys or snacks?" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We feel bad. We did not think. We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, squirrel." + +Mom said, "It's okay. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, you should ask before you take something. And you should respect the animals and their homes. They are our friends, not our food." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We will do that. We will be kind and careful." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, let's have some soup and bread. They are warm and good for you." + +Lily and Ben smiled too. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They ate their soup and bread and felt better. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be respectful and honest. They learned not to chew what was not theirs. +Anna loves to write in her diary every day. She has a pink diary with a lock and a key. She writes about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her secrets.

But she sees her brother Tom on her bed, holding her diary in his hands. He is laughing and reading her diary out loud. + +"Anna likes Ben! Anna likes Ben! She wants to kiss him on the cheek!" Tom says in a silly voice. + +Anna feels angry and sad. She rushes to Tom and tries to grab her diary. But Tom is bigger and stronger. He holds the diary high in the air and keeps teasing her. + +"Give me my diary, Tom! It is mine! You are mean!" Anna shouts. + +"No, I won't! Your diary is funny! You are silly!"

She sees Anna crying and Tom holding the diary. She looks angry and disappointed. + +"Tom, what are you doing? Why are you making your sister cry? Give her back her diary right now!" Mom says. + +Tom lowers his head. He knows he has done something wrong. He gives Anna her diary and says sorry. + +"Sorry, Anna. I was just joking. I won't touch your diary again," Tom says. + +Anna takes her diary and hugs it. She wipes her tears and says thank you. + +"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Tom. I forgive you," Anna says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. She tells them to be nice to each other and to respect each other's things. She tells them to clean their room and get ready for dinner. + +Anna and Tom nod and say okay. They clean their room and put their things away. Anna puts her diary under her pillow and locks it.

They ran to their mom and dad and shouted, "Shark! Shark! There is a shark in the water!" + +Their mom and dad looked at the water and saw the shark too. They told Tom and Lily to stay close to them and not to go near the water. They also told the other people on the beach to be careful and to get out of the water. + +The shark swam around for a while and then went away. Tom and Lily were glad that the shark was gone. They were also wet from running in the sand. They dried themselves with their towels and hugged their mom and dad. They said, "Thank you for keeping us safe. We don't like sharks. They are scary and mean." + +Their mom and dad said, "You're welcome. We love you. Sharks are not always scary and mean. They are just animals that live in the water. But we have to be careful and respect them. They can hurt us if we bother them or get too close to them." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned something new that day. They still liked to play at the beach, but they always watched out for sharks and listened to their mom and dad. They also liked to play with their big yellow ball, but they never threw it in the water. They didn't want to make the shark angry or hungry. +Jill and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they decided to skip to the big tree at the end of the path. They liked to skip because it made them happy and fast. + +When they reached the big tree, they saw a big hole in the trunk. They wondered what was inside. They heard a soft sound, like a hoot. They looked up and saw an owl. The owl had big eyes and a sharp beak. It looked at them and said, "Who are you?" + +Jill and Tom were scared of the owl. They thought it was fierce and might hurt them. They said, "We are Jill and Tom. We are sorry to bother you. We were just playing and skipping." + +The owl said, "I am not fierce. I am friendly. I like to play and skip too. But I only do it at night, when it is dark and quiet. You can come and play with me then, if you want." + +Jill and Tom were surprised and curious. They said, "Really? You like to play and skip at night? How do you see in the dark?" + +The owl said, "I have special eyes that can see in the dark. And I have special wings that can fly and glide. Do you want to see?" + +Jill and Tom nodded. They wanted to see the owl's eyes and wings. The owl flew out of the hole and landed on a branch. It opened its eyes wide and spread its wings wide. Jill and Tom gasped. They thought the owl was beautiful and amazing. + +They said, "Wow! You are so cool! Can we be your friends?" + +The owl said, "Of course! You are very nice and brave. You can be my friends. But you have to go home soon. It is almost time for me to sleep. And you have to sleep too, so you can play and skip again tomorrow." + +Jill and Tom agreed. They said goodbye to the owl and thanked it for showing them its eyes and wings. They skipped back to the park gate, where their moms were waiting for them. They told their moms about the owl and how they made a new friend. Their moms smiled and hugged them. They were happy that Jill and Tom had a fun and exciting day. +Lily and Ben like to play with toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the helicopter.

They hide the helicopter under the sofa and sit on the floor. Mom says, "Hello, my loves. What are you doing?" Lily and Ben say, "Nothing, Mom. Just playing." Mom says, "Really? You look very quiet. Can I see what you are playing with?" Lily and Ben say, "No, Mom. No, thank you." + +Mom is curious. She looks under the sofa and sees the broken helicopter. She says, "Oh, no. What happened to the helicopter? It looks very rough. Did you break it?" Lily and Ben look at each other and nod. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were fighting and we broke it. We are sorry. We love the helicopter." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you are sorry. Fighting is not nice. You have to share and be gentle with your toys. The helicopter is not yours, it is ours. We can try to fix it, but it may not work again. How do you feel?" Lily and Ben say, "We feel bad, Mom. We don't want to fight. We want to play. We want the helicopter to work again." Mom says, "I know, my loves. I know. Come here and give me a hug. We can learn from our mistakes and be better next time. I love you both very much." Lily and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you, Mom." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play together. One day, Lily went to visit Ben at his house.

They ran inside the house. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lily asked. "You made it rain with my fork!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily!" Ben said. "I didn't know it would work. I was just playing." + +Lily was angry. She snatched her fork from Ben. She glared at him. + +"You are a bad friend!" she said. "You ruined my fork. It is wet and dirty. You can't play with it anymore. I don't want to play with you anymore. I'm going home!" + +Lily ran out of the house. She left Ben alone. He felt sad. He wished he could say sorry to Lily. He wished he could make the rain stop. He wished he could be friends with Lily again. But he couldn't. He had made a big mistake with the fork. He had lost his friend. He cried. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many clothes inside.

They hide behind a tree. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know!" Tom says. + +"We just wanted to play!" Mia says. + +The man is still angry. He picks up the clothes and puts them back in the box. He looks at Tom and Mia. + +"Next time, ask before you take something that is not yours!" He says. "And don't play with clothes that are not for kids! They are too big and too fancy for you!" + +Tom and Mia nod. They feel bad. They are modest. They don't want to make the man more angry. + +"OK, mister, we are sorry!" They say. "We won't do it again!" + +The man leaves with the box. Tom and Mia go back to their dolls and cars. They decide to play with their own clothes. They don't want to change their look anymore. They are happy with who they are. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a ball.
