His mom had brought him a brand new slide! It was green and shiny just like John had wanted. He couldn't wait to try it. + +John grabbed his toy shovel and headed for the garden. His dad had made him a special patch of snow for sliding on. John scooped away the powdery snow, making a steep hill. + +John looked at the hill with pride as he went inside to grab his toy sled.

It's too dangerous for you". + +The child pleaded, "Please, I'll be careful. I won't destroy the engine!" + +Everyone laughed, knowing how silly it was to think the engine could be destroyed.

Can you give me those?" The friends gladly offered the wolf a place to stay and some food to eat. + +The wolf thanked them for their kindness, but very soon, he started to act strange. He became more and more aggressive. One day, he ate one of the friends. The group was shocked and scared, but it was too late. + +The moral of the story is that you should be careful when you try to help others, because you never know what might happen. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Daisy. Daisy's mommy was baking cakes in the kitchen. Daisy wanted to help, so she asked if she could bake too.

She said, "Mommy, it's for a special cake!" + +Mommy said, "That looks beautiful, Daisy!" Then, she put the cake in the oven. "It's going to be a very high cake!" + +Mommy looked at Daisy and said, "Keep watching, it will be done soon!" + +Daisy was so excited that she couldn't stand still.

He was so relieved and happy to have escaped. But then he became sad again, because he was now all alone. He was miserable and alone with nowhere else to go. + +But then he saw something amazing. A little mouse hole not far away! He made his way to it, and soon he was safe and sound inside the hole. From then on, he was no longer miserable and knew he could always escape to safety. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sarah. She was three years old.

Sarah was so excited and wanted to touch the statue. + +Mommy said, "No, Sarah. Don't touch the statue because it's very old." + +Sarah was sad, but she listened to her mommy. Mommy said, "Let's go find something else." + +So Sarah started to run, faster and faster. Suddenly, she found a cherry tree. + +She asked Mommy, "Can I pick the cherries?" + +Mommy said, "Yes, but be careful and don't climb too high." + +So Sarah carefully picked the cherries. She was so excited that she forgot about the statue. + +When Sarah was finished, she was full of cherries. She and Mommy went home and had a delicious cherry pie for dinner. +Sophie's mom was feeling very fat and hot. She wanted to take her temperature. + +"Sophie, can you come here please?"

I think I need to go to the doctor." + +Sophie was worried. "Mommy, will you be okay?" + +Her mom smiled. "Yes, don't worry. The doctor will make me feel better." + +They both got in the car and drove to the doctor. Soon, Sophie's mom was feeling much better. She was no longer hot or fat. + +"See, I told you I would be okay". Her mom said, smiling. + +Sophie was relieved. She hugged her Mom and said "I knew you would be okay". +One day, there was a boy who was playing in the park. He was running and jumping, having a great time.

He had to find his way home. But then he saw something! He saw some toys that had fallen out of a tree nearby. He picked up the toys and then he started to laugh. He forgot that he had been careless and hurt himself. + +Now the boy felt better and he was happy to have the toys. He started walking again, this time more carefully! At the end of his journey, he arrived home safely. He knew that it was important to be careful, so he didn't fall down again. +Once upon a time, there were three friends who lived near one another. One day, the friends decided to read a book together. While they were reading, one of the friends noticed that their mailbox looked a little different than the other two mailboxes. At first, she was very unhappy about this and wondered why her mailbox was so different. + +The other two friends, however, reminded her that although their mailboxes were different, they were still all friends. They knew that the important thing was not what their mailboxes looked like, but that they liked spending time together. + +So they all agreed that although they might look different on the outside, they were all the same on the inside. And that was the moral of the story! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends - a bear and a fox. The bear was big and strong and the fox was really quick. + +The fox wanted to go to the river and asked the bear to come too. The eager fox was jumping up and down and clapping with excitement. The bear laughed and said "Yes, alright". + +When they got to the river, the fox went in for a swim. The bear stayed back because he was scared to get a cold. The river looked so deep and dark but the fox didn't mind. + +Suddenly, a loud sound roared through the air. It was a lion! The fox jumped out of the river in a fright but the bear ran up to the lion, roaring and waving his arms. The fox was so brave. Eventually, the lion backed away, down the hill. + +The fox cheered and thanked the bear for saving them. The bear smiled and said "it was nothing, just wanted to help my friend". The two friends spent the rest of the day playing and running around by the river. + +They had a fun adventure that day and were always happy when they were together. The End. +Once upon a time there was a very adventurous little girl. She was always excited to go out and explore the world. One day, while she was out on her journey, she came across an old gift.

And that was the end of the little girl's adventurous journey. +Once upon a time there was a powerful snake. He liked to stretch in the sunshine and watch the birds fly in the sky. One day, the snake and the birds were playing a game of tag. + +Suddenly, the snake noticed something green on the ground. He went over to take a closer look. It was some poison! + +The snake asked the birds, “What is this?†+ +The birds replied, “It’s poison. You should stay away from it.†+ +But being a powerful snake, he was not afraid. He thought it would be fun to try it. + +The snake stretched out his long, slippery body and gulped the poison down. Instantly, he could feel the strong, tingling sensation in his body and he became very ill. + +The birds had warned him, but he didn't listen. Now, he had to face the consequences of his carelessness. +Once upon a time, two children were happily playing together. One had a big tower of blocks with which he was playing.

Let’s make it a competitive game and see who can match the blocks together the fastest!" + +The two got to work, carefully matching the blocks together. They had fun trying to do it faster and faster. + +In the end, the first child used all the blocks to build the biggest and tallest tower. "I won!" he said. + +The other child shrugged. "That's okay. Maybe next time I'll win!" +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Jack and Jill. They went for a walk one day. + Jack said, "Let's take a slow walk and see what we can find." Jill agreed, so they started walking. + +The path was full of interesting things to see. They looked at bugs and flowers, and played with a ball. + +Suddenly, Jill said, "Look over there! I see some sugar." + +Jack brightened. "Let's go get it!" + +They ran over to the sugar and saw that it was a big bowl full of it. Jack and Jill each took a handful and ate it.

But the girl was too frightened to answer. + +Suddenly, they both heard a loud noise. It was coming from behind them. The giant panicked, and he quickly grabbed the girl and ran away. The noise continued, getting louder and louder. + +But it wasn't until they reached safety that they realized the noise was coming from a little dog chasing them. The girl laughed and thanked the giant for helping her. + +The giant was relieved it was just a dog, but he still felt guilty for not having noticed the scared girl sooner. He promised himself to always keep an eye out for those who need help. +Once, there was a family with two children. One day, the mommy decided to teach the children something very important; she wanted to teach them how to use the toilet. + +The mommy was very patient. She tried her best to take the time to explain the process of going to the toilet. All the children listened to their mommy and carefully took in what she said. + +The mommy explained how it was important to use the toilet in order to keep the body healthy and clean. She explained all the neccesary steps, like taking off your clothing and wiping the bottom when you finish. She also talked about flushing the toilet when you finish using it. + +Both children followed their mommy's instructions and slowly learned how to use the toilet.

He hopped to the top of the wall and jumped over! But, when he arrived on the other side, the flower had disappeared. Bob looked around and around, but he couldn’t find the flower. He trudged back to the meadow, but he was sad. + +As the sun went down, Bob’s spirit was lifted. He saw that a new flower had appeared!

Mama said, "You stretch your one dollar to cover the rest." + +Dan was confused. He thought he'd be able to get his toy, but if Mama had no change, how could he get it? Dan wanted to solve the problem, so he begged the shopkeeper for the toy. + +The shopkeeper said, "I don't think that's fair. I'm a business and I have to make money."

She ran to her mom and gave her a big hug, saying "welcome" with a huge smile on her face. + +Jane's mom was so happy and proud and said "It was so fair of you to remember and to say welcome!". Jane was very pleased and smiled from ear to ear. + +The picnic was a big success and everyone was very happy. Jane couldn't wait for the next trip! +Once there was a small boy called Mike. He was very curious and liked to explore the world. One day, Mike wanted to find out what was on the other side of the hill. He took a step forward, but his foot slipped and slid down the hill. + +Mike shouted in disappointment, "Oh no! What will I do now?" + +Just then, a wise old man appeared. He told Mike that all he had to do was follow the steps. + +The old man said, "Take one step at a time, and you'll reach the top of the hill. But be careful, don't be too foolish." + +Mike thanked the old man and started climbing the steps. Every now and then, they were slippery and Mike had to take special care. Eventually, he reached the top of the hill and was able to take in the beautiful view. + +The old man smiled and said, "You've done wonderfully, Mike. You have restored my faith in the younger generation". + +Mike bowed his head and thanked the old man. From that day on, Mike was very careful when he explored and made sure he followed the steps. +One day, a little boy called Jake went to the park with his mother. Jake liked the park so much-- he saw other children playing and birds flying in the sky. + +On the way back from the park, Jake spotted something. It was a hole in the ground. He was curious, so he asked his mother what it was. + +“That’s a burying hole,†she replied. + +“What’s a bury hole?†Jake asked. + +“That’s a hole where we put things when we don’t want them anymore,†his mother said. + +Jake wanted to try it. He asked his mother if he could bury something. + +“What do you want to bury?†his mother asked. + +“Your shoe!†Jake said. So he grabbed his mother’s shoe and placed it carefully into the burying hole. He pushed the dirt back in, making sure it was tight. + +“There!†Jake said, proudly. “I buried it!†+ +His mother smiled. “Yes, you did. Nice job!†+The sun was shining and the sky was bright. A young bird was flying high in the sky. He passed over a fountain, and decided to land and take a drink. As he flew down and perched on the edge of the fountain, he saw a young girl. + +The bird said, “Hello! What’s your name?†+ +The girl looked up and smiled. “I’m Penny. What’s your name?†+ +“I’m Birdy. I’m flying around the sky. Would you like to come with me?†+ +Penny was excited. “Yes! Can I?†+ +So Birdy spread his wings and carefully scooped up Penny with his beak. Then they flew off together, high in the sky. Penny smiled as they flew through the clouds and waved to the people below. + +The sun began to set, and they flew back down to the fountain. Birdy said, “Goodbye Penny. Let’s fly together again soon.†+ +Penny waved as Birdy flew away. She said, “Bye Birdy, I hope we can fly again soon!†+Sandy was playing outside in the garden when she saw smoke. She thought it was coming from the forest. She wanted to take a look but she was scared. She thought it was too difficult. + +Suddenly, her friend Jess appeared. She noticed the smoke too. + +"Let's go take a look!" said Jess. + +Sandy was still scared but Jess smiled and said, "Come on, it'll be fun!" + +So, Sandy followed Jess. They walked through the woods until the smoke was all around them. + +Jess wasn't so sure anymore. She stopped and said, “Sandy, I think we should go back now.†+ +But then, suddenly a big fire broke out and started to spread. They were trapped. + +Sandy and Jess started to cry. There was no escape and they never made it back home. +One afternoon, Tom and his mom were out in nature. Tom saw a yellow bird diving through the sky. Little did he know that this bird would soon become his best friend. + +Tom's mom said, "I think that bird is looking for something." + +Tom wondered what the bird was looking for, so he told his mom he wanted to follow it. She agreed and the two set off running after it. + +The bird kept diving from tree to tree and Tom followed it until sunset. All of a sudden, the bird stopped and looked around for something. Tom went to look too and discovered a yellow egg in the grass. The bird had found what it was looking for. + +Tom was so happy he had found a new friend! From then on, Tom and the bird became the best of friends and Tom and his mom visited the bird often to see their egg had hatched. +One day Tom was playing in the garden when he heard an unusual sound. It sounded like thunder. He was so scared that he ran inside and hides under one of the seats. His mum found him and she said in a calm voice, 'it's only thunder Tom, what's wrong?' + +Tom very quietly said: 'I'm scared, it's so loud'. His mum said 'Don't worry, thunder is just a natural sound and it won't hurt you. You are safe here.' + +Tom felt calmer after his mum said that. He came out from under the seat and asked, 'Can we go outside now?' His mum said 'yes, the thunder has gone now, you don't need to be scared any more.' + +They went outside and Tom saw a big big rainbow in the sky. The colours were so beautiful and Tom shouted with joy. He was no longer scared and saw that thunder is nothing to be afraid of. +Once upon a time, there was a hungry little girl. She was walking through the woods and feeling very hungry. + +The girl suddenly came across a novel sitting on the ground. It was a beautiful book and she was excited to see it. She picked it up to take a closer look and thought it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. + +"This novel looks so special, I bet it's magical," she said. + +But just as she opened it, the novel seemed to vanish! The girl was sad and confused but also excited to see what would happen next. + +Just then, out of nowhere, a big bowl of food appeared! It was full of delicious fruits and veggies and the girl was delighted. She smiled and said, "That was so cool! I'm so happy I found the novel." + +The girl quickly started eating and soon felt full and satisfied. She thanked the magic novel for making her so happy and hungry no more. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there was a girl who was only three years old. She was always so happy and smiling. One day, she got a special surprise. Her mom said, "It's for you! You can receive this present for being so good." The girl opened it, and inside was a toy wreck. + +She was very excited and asked her mom, "What is this?" Her mom replied, "It's a wreck! You can play with it in the sand, or on the carpet. It's good for your imagination. It'll help you make up stories and adventures." + +The girl was overjoyed and thanked her mom for the wonderful present. She ran outside to play with her wreck right away. She made a sand castle, drove cars, and pretended that the wreck was a spaceship. She had so much fun. + +The girl spent hours playing with her wreck and imagining all sorts of stories. Finally, it was time to go inside. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you. I had such a good time!" +Once upon a time there was a Mum and a Dad and a little girl. The little girl wanted to help make dinner and so went to the garden with her Dad. + +"Do you some a vegetable?" asked Dad. + +"Yes!" the little girl said. + +They bent down and started to pull the vegetables from the ground. They were carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes. But then the little girl found a strange, weird vegetable. + +"What is this?" she asked. + +"I don't know. Pull it out and we can find out," Dad said. + +The little girl started to pull and pull, but it wouldn't come out. + +"We need to use a shovel," Dad said. + +So Dad dug away with the shovel, until finally he freed the weird vegetable. But then it started to roll away! + +"Quickly! Catch it!" Dad said. + +The little girl ran after the strange vegetable and caught it. Then they both laughed and laughed. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there were two siblings, a brother and a sister. They both loved playing together. One day, the brother wanted to borrow the sister's favourite toy, a jolly doll. + +The sister said, "No, you can't borrow it. It's my special toy!" + +The brother said, "Pretty please? I'll be really careful with it." + +The sister replied, "No, my doll is special, it's not for you." + +The brother did not give up and said, "I promise I won't break it, I just want to play with it for a little while." + +The sister thought for a moment and said, "Ok, you can borrow it, but only for a little while." The brother smiled and said, "Thanks. I'll take really good care of it!" + +And so, the brother and sister happily played with the jolly doll together, until the brother returned it to the sister. The sister had no worries because she knew the brother had taken good care of her special toy. +Once upon a time, there was a very helpful dog who lived near the sea. His name was Rex. He liked to joke around and spend time playing with his best friend, John. + +One day, Rex and John were at the beach and they found a pile of sand. Rex began to laugh, and he said, "Let's make a sand castle!" + +John smiled and said, "Yes, it'd be fun!" So the two of them got to work, making a tall and strong sand castle. + +When they finished, they stood back and admired their work. Suddenly, John had an idea. He said, "Let's make a joke castle too!" + +Rex laughed, and the two of them got to work again. They built a funny looking sand castle, with walls that were crooked and funny-sized towers. + +After that, they sat back and looked at both castles. Rex said, "John, you are so helpful. Thank you." + +John smiled and said, "Anytime, Rex!" + +And ever since then, Rex and John have been the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Jane. She had a wonderful original doll that she loved playing with. One day, when she was having a tea-time snack of rice, she asked her mum if her doll could share. Her mum replied, "I don't mind, but why don't you give your doll some of your own rice?" Jane liked this idea and used some of her own rice to feed her doll. + +When Jane's mum saw what her daughter had done, she smiled and said, "It's very nice that you shared your original rice with your doll. That was very thoughtful of you!" Jane was so pleased and she gave a big happy grin. + +The little girl was very proud that she had been so thoughtful. From then on she always remembered to think of her doll when it was time for tea. +John was organizing his bedroom when he heard a noise outside. He looked out the window to find a lion! John ran downstairs and yelled to his mom. + +"Mom! There's a lion outside!" + +"Don't worry," said Mom. "He's probably just lost. Let's organize a search party to help him find his way back home." + +So John and Mom went out to look for the lion. They searched the nearby forest and found him peacefully lounging beneath a graceful tree. + +"Are you lost?" asked Mom. + +The lion shook his furry head. + +"No, thank you," he said in a gentle voice. "I just wanted to take a stroll through the forest and find a beautiful place to relax." + +John and his mom smiled and watched the lion as he gracefully hopped away. Then they went back inside, happy to have helped the lion on his adventure. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Sophia. Sophia loved to spin around and around in circles. She felt so happy when she spun that she wanted to do it all day. + +One day, Sophia met a friendly fairy. Sophia was so excited! + +The fairy said to Sophia, "Come, it's time for a special spell. When you spin around and make yourself very blue, the spell will start to work!" + +So Sophia held her breath and spun around and around in circles until she felt blue. As soon as she stopped, the fairy waved her wand and said, "Abracadabra!" + +Suddenly, Sophia began to float higher and higher into the air. She was so happy and giggled with glee! + +The fairy said, "Sophia, you just learned how to fly. Now you can spin around and enjoy the sky!" +Jimmy was at the park playing with his new ball. He had been running and bouncing it all around. Suddenly, he saw something huge in the nearby pond. It was an alligator! He stopped and stared in awe. + +Jimmy wanted to get closer and see it, but his mom told him not to. "It's too dangerous, Jimmy," she said firmly. "Stay close, okay?" + +Jimmy was determined. "Mommy, I have to finish", he said. He ran up closer to the edge of the pond and stared at the alligator again. + +The alligator slowly made his way closer and closer to the shore. Jimmy grew a little afraid and slowly stepped back. The alligator reached the shore and opened his jaw wide. It was a scary sight! + +Suddenly, Jimmy heard loud clapping coming from the other side of the pond. He saw his mom and some other people all standing together, clapping their hands. He looked back to the alligator and saw that it was gone. + +Mom explained what had happened: "Someone gave the alligator a new home. They moved him safely away and now you can play and finish at the park without fear". +Jimmy was relieved and went back to bouncing his ball with a smile. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Susie. Susie was three years old and liked to count. + +One day, she was outside in the garden when she spotted a shiny machine. She wasn't sure what the machine was, but she was excited to find out. + +Susie went closer to the machine, and said in a loud voice, "Hello machine! What are you?" + +The machine whirred and beeped before replying, "I am a counting machine! Would you like to count with me?" + +Susie smiled and said, "Yes, please!" She and the machine started counting together, and at the end Susie felt very proud of her counting skills. She thanked the machine and continued to count on her own. + +The next day, Susie went to the garden again and found the machine was still there. She was so happy and started counting with her new counting machine. +Once upon a time, there was a harmless land. It was filled with vibrant colours and filled with happy animals. One day, a little bunny hopped up to a bear. + +"Hi Bear, I care about this land. Can you help me?" + +The bear replied kindly. "I sure can, little bunny! I will take care of this land with you." + +So, the bear and the bunny started working together to make sure that the land stayed safe and beautiful. They worked very hard, and soon the land was even happier and more peaceful than before. + +The animals were very happy and thankful. They said, "Thank you Bear and Bunny for taking such good care of the land!" + +The bunny smiled and said, "We care about this land, and we'll keep looking after it, no matter what!" +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Pete and Jake. They were playing together in the park when Jake spotted a beautiful dress in a nearby shop window. He wanted it very badly but he had no money. + +When Pete noticed Jake's interest in the dress he said, "let's go ask my dad if we can buy the dress". +Jake exclaimed, "I would love that!" + +So the two friends ran towards Pete's dad's house but when they reached there the Dad was very angry. He said, "I don't have the money to buy such an expensive dress, sorry boys!". + +Jake sadly replied, "Oh, that's ok Dad!" But Pete didn't say anything - he was being very selfish and wanted the dress all to himself. + +For the next couple of weeks Pete kept his plan to himself until one day it was his birthday! Most of his family and friends were there to celebrate and then came the surprise - Pete's Dad had bought him the dress from the shop window! Everyone was very happy, especially Pete. He couldn't believe his Dad had bought him such a beautiful dress. + +On the day of the party, Pete proudly displayed the dress for everyone to see. His friends applauded as it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen! + +Moral from this story: Friendship is much more important than being selfish and it is always nice to share things +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Emma. She went to the beach with her mom and dad. She was very excited as she had heard about dolphins living in the sea. + +When they reached the beach, Emma was amazed. She saw a big blue ocean stretching into the horizon! Then, a dolphin popped out of the water. + +“Mom, can I go into the water?†asked Emma. + +“No. You’re too small and the dolphin might be a bit shy.†replied Mom. + +Emma simply wanted to meet the dolphin, but she had to listen to her mom and stay on the beach. However, the dolphin wanted to meet Emma too. + +The dolphin swam closer to the beach and started bobbing its head up and down. Emma waved and the dolphin waved back. They were both so happy. + +Emma could not believe it. She had seen a real, shy dolphin and it had waved to her. She had had an amazing day! +Debra spotted a cheap tie in the store. She wanted it for her dad's birthday. But her mom said she should not buy it because it was a cheap tie. + +Debra didn't listen to her mom. She thought the tie was special and she wanted to get it for her dad. + +So Debra bought the cheap tie and took it home. When she gave it to her dad, he wasn't happy. He said it was too cheap and he wouldn't wear it. + +Debra was really sad now. She wished she had listened to her mom and not buy the cheap tie. Debra knew that she shouldn't have bought it and she learned an important lesson. Lesson: it is always best to take mom's advice and to recommend something better. +Once there was a boy called John who was only 3 years old. He had an eventful day, but he always felt happy at the end of it. + +One day, John woke up feeling the sun on his face. He opened his eyes slowly, not quite sure what the day would bring. But he was ready for it! + +John enjoyed playing in the garden with the flowers and the birds. He enjoyed the peacefulness of it all. He could feel the peace in the air around him. + +John's day ended with normal activities. He had dinner with mom and dad, read a bedtime story and said goodnight. + +John felt content when he went to sleep and knew he'd wake up the next morning ready for whatever the day would bring. But for now, he was glad to have peace and normalcy. +Once there was a little girl named Molly who lived with her family near a woods. Every day Molly's parents would take her for a long walk through the woods. + +One day, while walking, Molly's parents heard a strange noise. Her father said, "Wait, do you hear that? What is it?". They all stopped to listen. Molly said, "It's coming from the other way." + +Molly's father said, "It sounds terrible, whatever it is. Let's go see what it is." So they all started walking in the direction of the noise. As they got closer, the sound got louder and louder. + +When they finally arrived to the source of the noise, they were very surprised. The noise was coming from an old, abandoned well. Molly's father said, "That was terrible. We should never come this way again." So they quickly turned around and went back home. + +Since then, Molly and her family always make sure to stay away from that way. +Once there was a farmer who lived in a small village. He wanted to build a house for his family. So, the farmer set out to build his dream house. + +He took a bag of green pieces of wood and started to build. Soon the farmer had built a very special house. It was thick and strong. + +The farmer felt so proud that he invited his friends over to see his new house. + +Everyone said they liked the house a lot. But then one of the farmer's friends noticed something strange. + +The walls of the house were very lazy. They were not straight. + +The farmer shrugged. "I didn't want to waste too much time, so I made the walls lazy" he said. + +His friends all laughed and agreed that it was a great idea! +Once upon a time, a girl was playing outside. It was icy, but she had fun running around. Suddenly, she saw a rope on the ground and she was very excited. She picked it up and started playing with it. + +But she didn't realize that it was a dangerous rope. As she tried to make more games, the rope became tight. She couldn't move and she was scared. The icy ground was hurting her body and the rope was very tight. + +Finally, a friend of hers saw her struggling on the icy ground. He ran over and tried to help her, but he couldn't. The rope was too tight and it was too cold outside. + +The girl felt very sad. She realized that she had put herself in danger and none of her friends could help her. She was stuck and there was nothing anyone could do. + +The girl eventually got too cold and exhausted. She was so sad, but all she could do was wait until morning. Sadly, she never made it until morning and she passed away on the icy ground. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Jack and Jill. They were walking outside on a summer day when they came upon an open field. In the middle of the field, they saw a pond with white steam coming from it. Jill asked Jack, "What is that steam?" + +Jack replied, "Let's take a closer look." So, the two of them part ways and came to the edge of the pond. Jack noticed there was something strange with the steam. It seemed to move ever so slightly. Jack and Jill watched the steam intently and soon realized it was actually the pond's fish swimming up to the surface. + +Jack and Jill both smiled, then proceeded to start feeding the fish. As they did, they both heard a wise voice coming from behind them. The voice said, "If you take care of nature, it will take care of you. This pond will provide you with food and entertainment, if you keep it open." + +Jack and Jill learned an important lesson that day, and they continued to look after the pond and its inhabitants. From that day forward, they understood the need to share and care for nature, and they promised never to forget the lesson. +Once upon a time, there was a boy. He wanted a dog. So he asked his mom, "Can I have a dog?". But his mom said, "No, you're too young." The boy was sad. + +The boy did not know what to do, but he had an idea. He asked his mom, "If I am brave and strong, can I have a dog then?". His mom said, "Maybe, but you need to prove it to me." + +So the boy got to work. He tried to do some hard things: he tried to carry big things and not be scared of the dark. He worked very hard and even though he was weak sometimes, he kept trying to be strong and brave. + +Finally, his mom was impressed. She saw that he was trying his best and she said, "Yes! You can have a dog. But only if you can take care of it and make sure it's healthy and happy." + +The boy was so excited! He thanked his mom and hugged her. He knew he could do it. He now had a new friend - a furry, little dog. He was so happy! +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Dakota and Justin. They were riding on their scooter and exploring the countryside. Justin loved engines, so he began to grab every engine he saw. Dakota kept telling him to stop, but Justin wouldn't listen. Eventually, a big engine came and Justin wanted to grab it too. + +This time, Dakota shouted, "No Justin! That engine is too big, you will get in trouble." Justin stubbornly grabbed the engine anyway. Suddenly, the engine started running and they had to jump off their scooter! Justin was scared and started to cry, but Dakota told him, "Let's just leave it." + +So they walked away and the engine calmed down. When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a beautiful, peaceful city with engines moving around. They both realized that grabbing the engine was wrong, and that it's much better to explore the world without taking away other people's things. + +Ever since then, Justin and Dakota have been happier friends and have been learning about the world and its engines, in peaceful ways! +Once upon a time there was a family with an adorable little girl called Daisy. Daisy was only three years old and she just loved playing on her mattress. Every day she would jump, roll and dance on the soft, bouncy mattress. + +It wasn't until one day when Daisy was happily jumping on her mattress, that a big glass of milk appeared. Daisy had never seen milk before and she asked her mom what it was. + +“That's milk sweetheart, would you like to try it?†asked Daisy's mom. + +But Daisy was scared and shook her head no. She didn't want to drink something she had never had before. + +“Come on, don't be scared. It's really yummy and it won't hurt you,†said Daisy's mom. + +Finally, after some reassuring from her mom, Daisy decided to be brave and she tasted the milk. At first, she found the taste a little weird but then she realised how yummy it was. + +So Daisy started drinking her milk every day, and soon it became her favourite drink. Daisy was so happy she had been brave enough to try something new and her mattress was now the place she drank her milk. +Once upon a time there was a deep pool. It glittered in the hot summer sun and sparkled blue like the sky. Suddenly something happened! A little girl appeared and she lay down by the edge of the pool. She was so excited to be there and wanted to splash in the pool. + +So she reached out with her little hands and touched the cool water. She then pushed her feet in and wiggled them around. She laid back and floated on the water, feeling how deep it was. Suddenly she was swimming! She went around and around, splashing and laughing. All the while, the deep pool glimmered and sparkled. + +After while the little girl got tired and lay down in the pool. She smiled to herself, having so much fun.

Pete lived in a small house with his mom. + +One day, Pete decided to go out and explore his backyard. He was really excited because he had never been out there before. He opened the back door and stepped into the yard. + +Pete saw a lot of things in his backyard: there were some trees, a swing, and a broken toy. He got really close to the broken toy and touched it. Suddenly, it fell apart! + +Pete's mom heard the noise and came out to see what happened. "What did you do, Pete?" she asked. Pete was very quiet and said nothing. + +Pete's mom hugged him and said, "It's ok. Let's leave the backyard, we can come back and clean it up later." + +So they went back inside the house. But Pete never forgot his first adventure in the backyard. He always talks about the broken toy that he found. +Once upon a time, there was a girl. Her name was Grace. Grace was playing outside on the grass. Suddenly, she saw a stack of ribbons near her. Grace wanted to play with the ribbons and tie them around her. But the stack was too high for her to reach. + +Grace was sad, but then she got an idea. She found a stick and tried to use it to tie the ribbons together. But no matter how hard she tried, the ribbons wouldn't stay tied. + +Then, Grace went inside the house. She found her dad's warm scarf and ran back to the stack of ribbons. She put the scarf around the stick and tried again to tie the ribbons. This time, it worked! Now, she could hold the ribbons and play with them. + +Grace was so happy! She tied the ribbons around her and danced around in the sun. From that day on, Grace loved playing with ribbons and making beautiful stacks of them. +John was a jolly little boy. He loved going on boats with his dad. Today they were out in the sea. + +John asked his dad, “What can I do?†+ +Dad smiled and said, “You can steer the boat.†+ +John was so excited. He said, “Okay!†+ +John started steering the boat but then it started to pull the other way. John was pulling back with all his might but it was too much for him. + +Suddenly, John’s dad screamed, “Let go of the wheel!†+John let go of the wheel and the boat stopped. Dad smiled and said, “That’s why it’s important to listen to your elders.†+ +John nodded and said, “Yes, dad. I’ll always listen.†+ +The moral of the story is that it is important to listen your elders - they can help us make good decisions. +Once there was a nice little boy named Joe. Joe loved to play in the park with his friends. One day, Joe was having so much fun playing that he started running around and didn't notice the puddle of water. He tripped and fell in it, getting all wet! + +Joe's mother saw what had happened and knew she had to take him to the hospital. She and Joe went straight there in the car. + +When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor asked Joe to sit down. Then he took out a special machine and put it on Joe's wet clothes. Joe asked his mom what was happening. She smiled and said, "The doctor is drying your clothes!" Joe was so surprised, but after some time his clothes were nice and dry again! + +Joe was very happy and thanked the doctor. The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help." Joe said goodbye and went home with his mom. + +It was a nice day and Joe learned a valuable lesson - to be more careful. +Once upon a time, there were two sisters. The little sister was named Sarah, and the big sister was named Anna. One day, Anna saw Sarah playing outside with a rake. + +Anna asked Sarah, "What are you doing with the rake?" + +Sarah said, "I'm going to try to rake the leaves." + +Anna said, "You can't do that. You're too little." + +But Sarah insisted. She wanted to try. + +Anna thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, but only for a little bit. Then you have to come inside for lunch, because you're getting hungry." + +So Sarah kept raking the leaves, but after a little while, she was tired and decided to stop. + +Anna was proud of her, and said, "You did a great job, Sarah. You persisted and that's something to be proud of. But it's important on the days when something is too hard, to listen to your big sister and not be afraid to ask for help, that way you will be strong and achieve your goals." + +Sarah smiled, happy with what she accomplished, and they went inside to have lunch. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bob. Bob wanted to find some fun clothes to wear, so he opened his wardrobe. It was very filthy inside! He looked through the clothes but none of them matched. + +Bob went to his mum to ask for help. "Mum, none of the clothes in my wardrobe match," he said. +Mum smiled and took him outside. "What do you think of this?" she said, pointing to a rainbow jumper. + + Bob's eyes lit up. "It matches perfectly!" he said. + +Mum smiled and hugged him. "Let's go and pick out some more fun clothes," she said. + +Bob was so happy to have found something that matched. From then on, he always found something that matched lovely clothes in his wardrobe. +Mama and Papa were very proud of their little girl. Every day she brought a smile to their face.

"The rhino is very strong and can be angry. It can hurt you with its horn. You have to stay in the car and observe it from here." + +Lily and Ben were scared of the rhino. They did not want to make it angry. They stayed in the car and observed it from a distance. They saw it lift its head and snort. They heard it make a loud noise. They felt the car shake. + +The rhino was charging at the car. It was running fast and lowering its horn. Lily and Ben screamed. Their mom and dad started the car and drove away. The rhino stopped and went back to the grass. + +Lily and Ben were still scared. They hugged their mom and dad. They said they did not want to observe the rhino anymore. They wanted to observe the other animals that were nice and friendly. Their mom and dad said they were sorry and that they were proud of them for being brave. They said they would observe the rhino from far away next time. Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They enjoyed the rest of the safari. +Ben and Mia were walking to school with their mom. It was a cold morning and they could see their breath in the air. The sky was gray and there was fog everywhere. They could not see very far. + +"Mom, what is fog?" Mia asked. + +"Fog is like a big cloud that comes down to the ground. It makes everything look fuzzy and wet," mom said. + +"Can we taste the fog?" Ben wondered. + +"I don't think so, Ben. Fog is just water and air. It has no flavor," mom said. + +Ben and Mia were curious. They stuck out their tongues and tried to catch some fog. They felt a tiny drop of water on their tongues, but it did not taste like anything. + +They kept walking and soon they saw the school. It looked scary in the fog. They could only see the outline of the building and the windows. They could not see the other kids or the teachers. + +"Mom, I don't want to go to school. It looks scary," Mia said. + +"Me neither. It looks like a haunted house," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "Don't worry, my loves. The fog will go away soon and the school will look normal again. There is nothing to be afraid of. The fog is just a big cloud that can't hurt you. And you will have fun with your friends and learn new things," mom said. + +She kissed them and led them to the school door. Ben and Mia held hands and followed her. They hoped the fog would go away soon. They wanted to see the sun and the sky and the colors. They wanted to taste something sweet and yummy. They wanted to have a good day. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a great dog named Rex who helped them find animals and birds. One day, they saw a big deer with huge horns. They wanted to get closer and touch it. + +But they did not know that a hunter was hiding behind a tree. He had a loud gun that could hurt animals. He saw the deer and the boys and wanted to shoot them. He did not care if they were nice or not. He was a bad man who liked to make animals and people sad. + +Rex saw the hunter and barked to warn Tim and Sam. He ran to the hunter and tried to bite him. The hunter was scared and angry. He shot Rex with his gun. Rex fell down and did not move. He was very hurt. + +Tim and Sam heard the loud noise and saw Rex on the ground. They cried and ran to him. They hugged him and hoped he would get up. But Rex did not get up. He was gone. The hunter laughed and took the deer. He did not care about Rex or the boys. + +Tim and Sam were very sad. They loved Rex and he loved them. He was their great friend and helper. They wished they could restore him and make him alive again. But they could not. They had to say goodbye to Rex and go home. They never played in the woods again. They never saw the hunter again. They never forgot Rex. +Lily woke up and saw the sun shining through the window. She was happy because it was a new day. She stretched her arms and legs and yawned. She wanted to see daddy and give him a hug. + +She jumped out of bed and ran to daddy's room. She opened the door and saw daddy sleeping on the bed. He looked tired and sad. Lily knew daddy was poor and worked hard to get money. She wished she could help him. + +She climbed on the bed and cuddled with daddy. She kissed his cheek and whispered, "I love you, daddy. You are the best daddy in the world." Daddy opened his eyes and smiled. He hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best daughter in the world. You make me happy." + +They stretched together and got up. They went to the kitchen and made breakfast. They ate toast and jam and drank milk. They talked and laughed and had fun. Lily was happy because she had daddy and daddy had her. They were poor, but they had love. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big rat near the trash can. The rat had brown fur and a long tail. It was eating a banana peel. + +"Look, a rat!" Lily said. She pointed at the rat. + +"Yuck, a rat!" Ben said. He made a face. "Rats are bad. They are dirty and mean." + +"Why are rats bad?" Lily asked. She was curious. She wanted to know more. + +Ben tried to explain. He remembered what his mom told him. "Rats can make you sick. They have germs and bugs. They can bite you and scratch you. They can eat your food and make a mess." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to get sick or hurt. She did not want to share her food or clean a mess. She did not like rats either. + +"Let's go away from the rat," Lily said. She took Ben's hand. "Let's play somewhere else." + +"OK, let's go," Ben said. He followed Lily. They left the rat alone. They found a new place to play. They had fun. They forgot about the rat. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys and books in their room. But today, they want to see what is behind the big door in the hall. The big door is different from the other doors. It is brown and has a lock and a key. + +"Sara, let's go and open the big door," Ben says. He takes the key from the table. He is not afraid. + +"No, Ben, we can't," Sara says. She is scared. "Mom and Dad said we have to stay in our room. They said the big door is not for us." + +"But I want to see what is inside," Ben says. He runs to the big door. He puts the key in the lock. He turns the key. + +"Ben, stop!" Sara says. She runs after him. She tries to pull him back. "Please, Ben, don't open the big door." + +But it is too late. Ben opens the big door. He sees a dark and scary room. There are many things he does not know. There are spiders and cobwebs and dust. There is a loud noise. Ben is very afraid. He drops the key. He cries. + +"Sara, help me!" Ben says. He runs back to Sara. He hugs her. + +Sara is also afraid. She does not like the dark and scary room. She wants to close the big door. But she cannot find the key. It is on the floor, in the dark. + +"Mom! Dad!" Sara and Ben shout. They hope Mom and Dad will hear them. They hope Mom and Dad will come and close the big door. They hope Mom and Dad will not be angry. They wish they had stayed in their room. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big box of clothes and shoes and hats for them. She liked to dress them up and make them look pretty. She also had a tea set that she used to pour water for them. She pretended it was tea and gave them cups and saucers. + +One day, she wanted to make a new dress for her favorite doll, Rose. She found some fabric and scissors and a needle and thread. She cut the fabric into a shape and tried to sew it together. But the needle was sharp and it hurt her finger. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Mommy, mommy, help!" she shouted. + +Mommy came running into the room. She saw Lily holding her finger and the needle and thread on the floor. She also saw the mess of fabric and scissors and clothes and water. + +"Oh, Lily, what happened?" Mommy asked. + +"I wanted to make a dress for Rose, but the needle poked me and it hurts!" Lily sobbed. + +Mommy hugged her and took her to the bathroom. She washed her finger and put a band-aid on it. She kissed it and said, "There, there, it's okay. The needle was too small and sharp for you. You have to be careful with it. Next time, ask me to help you, okay?" + +"Okay, Mommy. I'm sorry," Lily said. + +Mommy smiled and said, "It's okay, sweetie. I know you were trying to be creative. But now we have to tidy up your room. It's a big mess. Can you help me?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. I'll help you. And I'll be more careful with the needle." + +They went back to her room and put everything back in the box. They wiped the water from the tea set and the floor. They made the bed and arranged the dolls. Lily gave Rose a hug and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't make you a new dress. But you're still pretty. And I love you." + +Rose smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I don't need a new dress. I like the one you gave me before. It's very tidy." +Ben and Mia went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They also liked to look for shells and rocks and other things. + +One day, they saw something shiny and red in the sand. They ran over to see what it was. It was a crab! The crab had big claws and small eyes. It moved sideways and made a clicking sound. + +"Wow, look at the crab!" Ben said. "Can we keep it?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe it will pinch us." + +They gazed at the crab, curious and scared. The crab gazed back at them, wary and brave. + +Their mom came over and saw the crab. She smiled and said, "That's a nice crab you found. But crabs belong in the sea, not in a bucket. They need water and food and friends. How about we let it go and watch it swim away?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They liked the crab, but they wanted it to be happy. They picked up the crab gently and carried it to the water. They put it down and said, "Bye, crab. Have fun." + +The crab waved its claws and scuttled into the waves. Ben and Mia waved back and smiled. They felt good. They had been kind and reliable. They had made a new friend. +Anna liked to smile. She smiled at her mom, her dad, her dog, and her toys. She smiled when she saw the sun, the moon, the stars, and the flowers. She smiled when she played, when she sang, when she read, and when she ate. + +One day, Anna found a shiny thing in the grass. It was small and hard and sparkled like a star. Anna thought it was a diamond. She smiled and picked it up. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad. She ran to the house with the shiny thing in her hand. + +But on the way, she saw a big red car. The car was fast and loud and scary. Anna did not see the car. The car did not see Anna. The car hit Anna. Anna fell down. The shiny thing flew out of her hand. Anna did not smile anymore. She did not move anymore. She did not breathe anymore. + +The car stopped. The man in the car got out. He saw Anna on the ground. He saw the shiny thing on the ground. He picked up the shiny thing. He looked at it. He smiled. He put it in his pocket. He got back in the car. He drove away. + +Anna's mom and dad heard the noise. They ran out of the house. They saw Anna on the ground. They saw the blood on the ground. They did not see the shiny thing. They did not see the car. They did not see the man. They cried. They screamed. They did not smile anymore. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a rocket. They put stickers and crayons on it to make it look like a real rocket. They wanted to go to the moon and see the stars. + +"Let's go inside the rocket and blast off!" Ben said. He opened the box and climbed in. "Come on, Mia, it's fun!" + +Mia followed him and sat next to him. She held a teddy bear in her arms. She was a little scared of going to the moon. She had heard that it was very cold and dark there. + +"Are you ready, Mia?" Ben asked. He pushed a button that made a loud noise. "Three, two, one, go!" + +The box shook and wobbled. Ben and Mia pretended that they were flying through the sky. They saw the sun and the clouds and the birds. They laughed and cheered. + +"Look, Mia, there's the moon!" Ben pointed to a big white ball in the sky. "We're almost there!" + +Mia looked at the moon. It was shiny and round. But it also looked icy and lonely. She hugged her teddy bear tighter. She wished they could go back home. + +"Ben, I don't want to go to the moon," Mia said. "It's too cold and scary. Can we go back, please?" + +Ben looked at Mia. He saw that she was sad and scared. He felt sorry for her. He loved his sister. + +"Okay, Mia, we can go back," Ben said. He pushed another button that made a different noise. "We're turning around. Hold on!" + +The box shook and wobbled again. Ben and Mia pretended that they were falling back to Earth. They saw the moon getting smaller and smaller. They saw the sun and the clouds and the birds again. They smiled and sighed. + +"Look, Mia, there's our garden!" Ben pointed to the green grass and the flowers and the swing. "We're home!" + +Mia looked at the garden. It was bright and warm. She saw their mom and dad waving at them. She felt happy and safe. She thanked her brother. + +"Ben, you're the best," Mia said. "I love you." + +"I love you too, Mia," Ben said. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. "You're the best too." + +They opened the box and jumped out. They ran to their mom and dad and gave them big hugs. They told them about their adventure. They were proud and excited. + +They had fun playing with their rocket. But they also learned that home was the best place to be. +Tom is a clumsy boy. He likes to play with his toys, but he often breaks them. He has a toy car, a toy robot, and a toy dinosaur. He loves them very much, but he does not take good care of them. + +One day, he is playing with his toy car on the floor. He makes it go fast and loud. He pretends it is a race car. He does not look where he is going. He bumps into the table. His toy car falls and breaks. He cries and picks it up. He sees that one of the wheels is gone. + +He runs to his mom and shows her his toy car. He says, "Mom, can you fix it? Please, please, please!" His mom looks at his toy car and says, "Oh, Tom, you are so clumsy. You need to be more careful with your toys. This toy car needs an operation. Do you know what that means?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know what an operation means. His mom says, "An operation is when someone or something is hurt and needs to be made better. Sometimes, doctors do operations on people. Sometimes, we can do operations on toys. We need to find the missing wheel and put it back on the toy car. Then, it will be like new again. Do you want to help me?" + +Tom nods. He wants to help his mom. He says, "Yes, mom, I want to help. Where is the wheel?" His mom says, "Let's look for it together. Maybe it is under the table or on the couch. Come on, let's go." She takes his hand and they go to look for the wheel. Tom hopes they can find it and fix his toy car. He thinks that maybe he will be less clumsy next time. He loves his mom and his toys. +Lily and Mom were going to bake a cake for Dad's birthday. Lily loved to help Mom in the kitchen. She could stir the batter, crack the eggs, and sprinkle the sugar. Mom said Lily was a good helper. + +They put the cake in the oven and set the timer. Mom said they had to wait for the cake to be done. Lily was bored. She wanted to play with her toys. She asked Mom if she could go to the living room. Mom said yes, but be careful and don't make a mess. + +Lily ran to the living room. She saw her favorite doll, Anna, on the couch. She wanted to play with Anna. She climbed on the couch and reached for Anna. But she slipped and fell off the couch. She hit her head on the floor. She started to cry. + +Mom heard Lily's cry and ran to the living room. She saw Lily on the floor, holding her head. She was scared. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She asked Lily if she was okay. Lily said her head hurt. Mom said she was sorry. She kissed Lily's head and said it would be better soon. + +Mom took Lily to the kitchen. She checked the timer. The cake was done. She took the cake out of the oven and put it on the table. She said they had to let the cake cool down before they could decorate it. She said they could make a nice surprise for Dad. Lily smiled. She said she wanted to help Mom. Mom said she was glad. She said they were a good team. She said they had a little trip, but they were safe and happy. Lily agreed. She said she loved Mom. Mom said she loved Lily too. They hugged and laughed. They were ready to bake some more. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Sam wants to go first. He runs to the slide and climbs up. Mia follows him. + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Mia says. "I want to slide too!" + +Sam does not wait. He slides down very fast. He has fun. He laughs. He runs to the slide again. + +Mia is sad. She wants to slide too. But Sam does not let her. He pushes her away. He says, "No, Mia! This is my slide! Go away!" + +Mia is angry. She pushes Sam back. She says, "No, Sam! This is our slide! Share with me!" + +Sam and Mia push each other. They shout. They do not have fun. They make trouble. + +A lady sees them. She is the park keeper. She is not happy. She walks to them. She says, "Stop, Sam and Mia! You are making trouble! You are not being nice! You have to share the slide! Or you have to leave the park!" + +Sam and Mia are scared. They do not want to leave the park. They do not want to make trouble. They say, "Sorry, lady. Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Mia." + +The lady smiles. She says, "It's okay, Sam and Mia. But you have to be nice. You have to share the slide. You have to take turns. Then you can have fun." + +Sam and Mia nod. They say, "Okay, lady. Okay, Sam. Okay, Mia." + +They go to the slide. They take turns. They slide down. They have fun. They laugh. They are friends. They are ordinary. +Lily and Tom were having a picnic with their mom and dad. They had sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They also had a big jar of jelly that mom made from the berries they picked in the garden. + +"Can I have some jelly, please?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, dear. Here you go," mom said, and gave her a spoonful of jelly. + +Lily put the jelly in her mouth and smiled. It was sweet and juicy and made her tongue tingle. She loved the taste of jelly. + +"Me too, me too!" Tom said, and reached for the jar. + +"Wait a minute, Tom. You have to ask nicely and say please," dad said. + +"But I want jelly now!" Tom said, and grabbed the jar. + +He tried to open it, but it was too tight. He pulled and twisted, but it did not move. He got angry and threw the jar on the ground. + +The jar broke and the jelly spilled everywhere. Lily, mom, and dad gasped. Tom looked at the mess and felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said. "I was not humble. I was greedy and rude. I wasted the jelly that mom made." + +Mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. We all make mistakes sometimes. But you have to learn to be humble and polite. And to share and be grateful for what you have." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Lily. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. But next time, can you please ask for jelly and not throw it?" + +Tom laughed and said, "Yes, Lily. I will. And maybe we can make more jelly together from the berries in the garden." + +Mom and dad smiled and said, "That sounds like a good idea. Come on, let's clean up this mess and enjoy the rest of our picnic." +Lily liked to play with her toy tea set. She had a pink pot, four cups, and a big cake. She invited her teddy bear, her doll, and her cat to have tea with her. She poured water from the pot into the cups and pretended it was tea. She gave a slice of cake to each of her guests and said, "Please enjoy!" + +Her cat, Snowy, did not like to play tea. He wanted to drink real milk, not fake tea. He looked at the pot and saw that it was full of water. He thought, "Maybe I can find some milk in the kitchen." He jumped off the chair and ran to the door. + +Lily saw Snowy run away and felt sad. She loved her cat and wanted him to stay. She said, "Snowy, come back! Don't you want some cake?" She got up and followed him to the kitchen. + +In the kitchen, Snowy saw a big jug of milk on the counter. He thought, "This is what I want!" He climbed on the counter and tried to open the jug. But the lid was too tight and he could not open it. He pushed the jug with his paw and it fell off the counter. It crashed on the floor and spilled milk everywhere. + +Lily heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess and gasped. She said, "Snowy, what did you do?" She was angry and scared. She thought, "Mommy will be mad at me!" She picked up Snowy and hugged him. She said, "You are a naughty cat! You should not pour milk on the floor!" She took him back to the tea party and gave him a cup of fake tea. She said, "This is your punishment. You have to drink this and say sorry." Snowy did not like the fake tea, but he drank it and said, "Meow." He was sorry and he wanted Lily to be happy. He licked her face and purred. Lily smiled and said, "I forgive you, Snowy. You are still my friend." She gave him a piece of cake and they finished the tea party. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had a big rug that was soft and colorful. They liked to pretend it was a magic carpet that could fly them to different places. + +"Where do you want to go today?" Tom asked Lily. + +"I want to go to the zoo and see the animals," Lily said. + +"Okay, let's go!" Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they both closed their eyes. They imagined they were flying over the city, past the buildings and the cars, until they reached the zoo. + +They opened their eyes and saw a lot of animals. There were lions and tigers and bears and monkeys and elephants and more. They were so happy and excited. They ran from one cage to another, looking at the animals and making noises like them. + +They came to a big cage where a giraffe was eating some leaves. The giraffe was very tall and had a long neck and spots. Tom and Lily thought it was beautiful. + +"Hello, giraffe!" Tom said. + +"Hello, children!" the giraffe said. + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know the giraffe could talk. + +"How can you talk?" Lily asked. + +"I can talk because I am a magic giraffe," the giraffe said. "I can grant you one wish if you do something for me." + +"What do you want us to do?" Tom asked. + +"I want you to bow to me and say I am the king of the zoo," the giraffe said. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not like the giraffe's wish. They thought it was not nice to bow to someone and say they were the king. They liked all the animals and did not want to make them feel bad. + +"No, thank you," Tom said. "We don't want to bow to you and say you are the king. We think all the animals are good and special." + +The giraffe was angry. He did not like that the children refused his wish. He tried to reach them with his long neck and bite them. But Tom and Lily were quick. They ran away from the cage and back to the rug. They held hands and closed their eyes. They imagined they were flying back to their home, away from the zoo and the mean giraffe. + +They opened their eyes and saw their living room. They were safe and happy. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"We don't need a wish from a magic giraffe," Lily said. + +"We have each other and our magic carpet," Tom said. + +They laughed and played on the rug, making up new stories and adventures. They did not need anyone to tell them they were good. They knew it in their hearts. +Tom and Sue were very happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the birds. They got in the car and zoomed away. + +On the way, they saw a big sign that said "Zoo". It had a picture of a giraffe and a zebra. Tom and Sue clapped their hands and shouted "Zoo, zoo, zoo!" + +Mom and Dad smiled and said "We're almost there, kids. But remember, the zoo is not an ordinary place. You have to be careful and follow the rules. Don't feed the animals, don't touch the fences, and don't run away from us." + +Tom and Sue nodded and said "OK, Mom and Dad. We will be good." + +They arrived at the zoo and bought their tickets. They saw a map that showed where all the animals were. They decided to start with the lions. They walked along a path that had a sign that said "Lion Den". They heard a loud roar that made them jump. + +They reached the lion den and saw a big cage that had a glass wall. Behind the glass, they saw a huge lion with a mane and a tail. He was lying on a rock and looking at them. Tom and Sue were amazed and scared. They pressed their noses against the glass and said "Wow, look at the lion!" + +The lion opened his mouth and roared again. He got up and walked towards the glass. He looked angry and hungry. He pawed at the glass and tried to break it. Tom and Sue screamed and ran back to Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said "Don't worry, kids. The glass is very strong. The lion can't hurt you. He's just trying to scare you. He's not an ordinary cat. He's a wild animal. You have to respect him and keep your distance." + +Tom and Sue calmed down and said "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We were too curious. We won't go near the glass again." + +Mom and Dad said "That's OK, kids. We're glad you're safe. Let's go see some other animals. Maybe some that are more friendly and fun." + +Tom and Sue agreed and said "Yes, let's go. Maybe we can see the monkeys and the birds. They are more ordinary and nice." + +They left the lion den and zoomed to the next exhibit. They hoped to have more fun and less fright at the zoo. +Tom and Sue are hungry. They want to eat some eggs. They go to the kitchen and find some eggs in the fridge. They put a pan on the stove and turn on the fire. They crack the eggs and put them in the pan. + +Tom says, "We need some salt for the eggs. Can you get it, Sue?" Sue nods and looks for the salt. She sees a big jar on the shelf. She tries to reach it, but it is too high. She gets a chair and stands on it. She stretches her arm and grabs the jar. + +But the jar is heavy and slippery. Sue loses her balance and falls off the chair. The jar falls with her and breaks on the floor. The salt spills everywhere. Sue cries out in pain. She has a big cut on her arm and some salt in it. It hurts a lot. + +Tom hears Sue and runs to her. He sees the blood and the salt and the broken jar. He is scared and sad. He does not know what to do. He hugs Sue and tries to make her comfortable. But Sue is not comfortable. She is in pain and wants to go to the doctor. But they are alone in the house and no one can help them. They wish their mom and dad were home. They wish they did not want to eat eggs. They wish they did not get the salt. +Anna loved to look at the stars at night. She had a big book with pictures of stars and planets. She wanted to learn their names and stories. But her mom said it was too hard for her. She said Anna should read other books with easy words. + +One night, Anna saw a big, white owl outside her window. The owl had yellow eyes and a soft voice. It said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like the stars?" + +Anna was surprised, but not scared. She said, "Yes, I do. They are so pretty and shiny. Do you like them too?" + +The owl said, "Yes, I do. I know many things about the stars. I can tell you their names and stories, if you want." + +Anna was very happy. She said, "Yes, please. I want to learn. But my mom says it is too hard for me." + +The owl said, "Don't listen to your mom. You are smart and curious. You can learn anything you want, if you try. But you have to accept a gift from me first." + +Anna was curious. She said, "What gift?" + +The owl said, "A feather. A feather from my wing. It is very important. It will help you see the stars better, and remember their names and stories. But you have to keep it a secret. No one else can know." + +Anna thought for a moment. She wanted to learn about the stars. She liked the owl. She said, "OK. I accept your gift. Thank you, owl." + +The owl smiled. It plucked a feather from its wing and gave it to Anna. It said, "Good. Now, hold the feather close to your eye, and look at the sky. I will tell you what you see." + +Anna did as the owl said. She held the feather to her eye, and looked at the sky. She gasped. The stars were brighter and bigger than ever. She saw shapes and patterns and colors. She heard the owl's voice in her ear, telling her the names and stories of the stars. She felt a warm and happy feeling in her heart. She knew she had found a new friend, and a new world. +Lila and Max are best friends. They like to play outside with their toys. One day, they see dark clouds in the sky. They hear loud noises and see flashes of light. + +"Max, I am scared of the storm. Can we go inside?" Lila asks. + +"Me too, Lila. But we have to take our toys with us. They might get wet or lost," Max says. + +They start to pick up their toys and put them in a big bag. But the storm comes closer and the wind blows harder. Some of their toys fly away. + +"Oh no, my teddy bear!" Lila cries. She sees her teddy bear flying in the air. + +"Lila, don't run after it! It's too dangerous!" Max shouts. + +But Lila loves her teddy bear very much. She runs after it and tries to catch it. She does not see the big tree that falls down in front of her. She bumps into it and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. + +Max sees what happens and runs to help her. He is very brave and loyal. He helps her get up and hugs her. + +"Lila, are you okay? I am sorry you lost your teddy bear. Here, you can have my toy car. I offer it to you. It is my favorite toy, but you are my best friend," Max says. + +Lila smiles and hugs him back. + +"Thank you, Max. You are very kind and generous. I offer you my doll. It is my favorite toy, but you are my best friend," Lila says. + +They share their toys and walk back to their house. They are happy and grateful. They are safe and warm. They are best friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their rubber ducks in the bathtub. They liked to make them swim and splash and talk to each other. + +"Quack, quack, I am the yellow duck. I am the fastest and the bravest," said Ben, making his duck zoom across the water. + +"Quack, quack, I am the pink duck. I am the prettiest and the smartest," said Lily, making her duck twirl and dive. + +They were having so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. + +"Lily, Ben, hurry up! It is time to get out of the bath and get ready for bed," said mom. + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept playing with their rubber ducks. + +Mom came upstairs and knocked on the bathroom door. + +"Lily, Ben, did you hear me? Hurry up, or you will miss your bedtime story," said mom. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They loved bedtime stories. They did not want to miss them. + +They quickly grabbed their towels and wrapped themselves up. They got out of the bathtub and dried themselves off. + +They ran to their bedroom and put on their pajamas. They were nervous that they were too late. + +They jumped into their beds and waited for mom. + +Mom came in with a smile and a book. + +"Sorry, mom, we were playing with our rubber ducks," said Lily. + +"We did not hear you, mom, we were having fun," said Ben. + +Mom hugged them and kissed them. + +"It's okay, my loves, I understand. But next time, please hurry up when I call you, okay?" said mom. + +"Okay, mom, we will," said Lily and Ben. + +Mom opened the book and started to read them a story. + +Lily and Ben snuggled up and listened. They forgot about their rubber ducks. They were happy and sleepy. +Lily was a brave girl who liked to help her dad. Her dad was a mailman who had to deliver letters and packages to many houses. Sometimes, he let Lily ride with him in his big truck and give the mail to the people. + +One day, they had a very big package to deliver. It was for Mr. Jones, who lived by the sea. Lily and her dad put the package in the back of the truck and drove to his house. Lily was curious about what was inside the package. She asked her dad, but he said it was a surprise. + +When they got to Mr. Jones' house, they saw him waiting outside. He was very happy to see them. He said, "Thank you for bringing my package! It's a special gift for my son. He loves sharks!" + +Lily was shocked. She did not like sharks. She thought they were terrible and scary. She wondered how Mr. Jones could give his son a shark as a gift. She asked her dad, "Is there a real shark in the package?" + +Her dad laughed and said, "No, Lily, don't worry. It's not a real shark. It's a toy shark. It's very soft and cuddly. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see the toy shark. Maybe it was not so terrible after all. Mr. Jones opened the package and took out the toy shark. It was blue and gray, with a big smile and a fin. It looked friendly and cute. Lily touched it and felt how soft it was. She liked it. + +Mr. Jones said, "Do you want to play with it, Lily? You can borrow it for a while. My son won't mind. He has many other toys." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mr. Jones. You are very nice. And your toy shark is not terrible. It's fun!" + +She hugged the toy shark and played with it in the truck. Her dad and Mr. Jones watched her and smiled. They were glad that Lily learned something new and made a new friend. +Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what. + +One day, Mom tells them to sort their toys. She says they have to put each toy in the right box. She gives them a big box for cars, a small box for dolls, a medium box for blocks, and a bag for books. She says she will be back soon and they have to finish sorting. + +Jen and Ben start to sort their toys. But they do not agree on who gets what. Jen wants the red car, but Ben wants it too. Ben wants the blue doll, but Jen wants it too. They pull and tug and yell at each other. + +"Give me the red car! It is mine!" Jen says. + +"No, it is mine! You have the pink car!" Ben says. + +"Give me the blue doll! It is mine!" Ben says. + +"No, it is mine! You have the yellow doll!" Jen says. + +They are so angry and loud that they do not hear Mom come back. Mom sees them fighting and frowning. She is not happy. She takes the red car and the blue doll from them. She says they have to learn to share and be nice. She says they have to sort something else instead of toys. + +She gives them a big pile of ashtrays. Ashtrays are things that people put their cigarettes in. They are dirty and smelly and bitter. Jen and Ben do not like ashtrays. They do not want to touch them. They look at Mom with sad eyes. + +"Mom, why do we have to sort ashtrays?" Jen asks. + +"Because you did not sort your toys. You were selfish and rude. Ashtrays are what you get when you do not share and be nice. Maybe this will teach you a lesson." Mom says. + +Jen and Ben do not want to sort ashtrays. They do not want to be selfish and rude. They want to sort their toys. They want to share and be nice. They say they are sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. + +"Mom, can we sort our toys again? We will share and be nice. We promise." Jen and Ben say. + +Mom smiles and nods. She takes away the ashtrays and gives them back their toys. She says they can sort their toys again. She says she is proud of them for saying sorry and making up. She says she loves them. + +Jen and Ben are happy. They sort their toys together. They take turns and say please and thank you. They have fun and laugh. They are good twins. They love Mom and each other. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a big doll that she loves very much. Ben has a small car that he likes to zoom around. They are having fun, but they also want to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your doll, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. She is very important to me," Lily says. She gives her doll to Ben and takes his car. + +Ben holds the doll and looks at her. She has long hair, a pretty dress and a cross around her neck. Ben wonders what the cross is for. He rubs it with his finger. + +"What is this?" he asks Lily. + +"That is a cross. Mommy gave it to me. She said it is a sign of love and hope," Lily says. + +"Love and hope? What are those?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mommy told her. + +"Love is when you care for someone very much. Like I love you and Mommy and Daddy. Hope is when you wish for something good to happen. Like I hope we can go to the park tomorrow," she says. + +Ben nods. He thinks he understands. + +"I love you too, Lily. And I hope we can play more together," he says. + +He gives the doll back to Lily and hugs her. Lily smiles and hugs him back. + +They swap their toys again and continue playing. They are happy and grateful for each other. They have love and hope in their hearts. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big orange pumpkin that their mom had bought for Halloween. They wanted to make a face on it, but mom said they had to wait. + +"Can we play with it, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't break it or it will rot," mom said. + +Lily and Max took the pumpkin to the grass and rolled it around. They pretended it was a ball, a hat, and a drum. They had fun with the pumpkin, but they also made it dirty and scratched. + +The next day, they went to the garden again. They looked for the pumpkin, but they could not find it. They saw something weird on the grass. It was brown and soft and smelly. + +"Yuck! What is that?" Max said. + +"It looks like the pumpkin, but it is not orange anymore. It is rotten!" Lily said. + +They ran to mom and told her what they saw. + +"Oh, no! The pumpkin rotted because you played with it too much. You should have listened to me," mom said. + +She was not angry, but she was sad. She wanted to make a face on the pumpkin with them. + +"I'm sorry, mom. We didn't know it would rot so fast," Lily and Max said. + +"It's okay, my loves. Next time, we will get a new pumpkin and make a face on it together. But for now, let's clean up this mess," mom said. + +She gave them gloves and a bag and they helped her throw away the rotten pumpkin. They learned their lesson and never played with a pumpkin again. +Timmy liked to chew on things. He chewed on his toys, his clothes, his books, and sometimes even his mom's shoes. His mom was not happy when he did that. She said, "Timmy, stop chewing on everything! You will ruin them and hurt your teeth!" + +One day, Timmy saw a big, colorful thing on the wall. It had numbers and pictures and words on it. He thought it looked yummy. He climbed on a chair and reached for it. It was a calendar. Timmy tore off a piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed and chewed. It was not yummy. It was dry and hard and bitter. He spat it out and made a face. + +"Timmy, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She saw the calendar and the piece in Timmy's mouth. She was very angry. She said, "Timmy, that is not food! That is a calendar! It tells us what day it is and what we have to do. You just chewed on our plans for the week! How will we know what to do now?" + +Timmy felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to try it." + +His mom sighed. She said, "I know, Timmy. But you have to learn not to chew on things that are not food. They can be important or dangerous or nasty. Here, have a cookie instead. It is food and it is yummy. But don't chew too fast or too much. You have to be careful with your teeth." + +Timmy nodded. He took the cookie and bit it gently. It was sweet and soft and good. He said, "Thank you, mom. I like cookies. I don't like calendars. They are cheap and bad." + +His mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Timmy. I'm glad you like cookies. And I'm glad you don't like calendars. They are cheap and bad. But they are also useful and helpful. Maybe when you are older, you will understand." +Mia and Leo liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they used as a car. They put pillows and toys inside the box to make it cozy. They also had a radio that played music. Sometimes they listened to songs, and sometimes they listened to opera. Opera was when people sang very loud and high. + +One day, they decided to go on a trip in their car. They put on their hats and scarves and loaded the box with snacks and books. They pushed the box to the door and said goodbye to their mom. + +"Have fun, kids!" Mom said. "Be back soon!" + +"OK, Mom!" Mia and Leo said. They pushed the box outside and got in. They turned on the radio and heard opera. They liked the opera. It made them feel happy and excited. + +They pretended to drive to different places. They saw mountains and lakes and animals. They stopped to have a picnic and read a story. They sang along with the opera. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the sky got dark and it started to rain. Mia and Leo got scared. They did not like the rain. It made them feel cold and wet. They wanted to go back home. + +"Let's go, Leo!" Mia said. "We have to hurry!" + +"OK, Mia!" Leo said. He tried to push the box, but it was too heavy. The rain made the box wet and soggy. It did not move. + +"Oh no!" Mia said. "What can we do?" + +They looked around and saw a big truck. The truck was red and shiny. It had a sign that said "Bob's Dependable Delivery". The truck had a big space in the back. It looked dry and safe. + +"Maybe we can ask the truck for help!" Leo said. + +"Good idea!" Mia said. They got out of the box and ran to the truck. They saw a man inside. He was wearing a hat and a smile. He was listening to opera. + +"Excuse me, sir!" Mia said. "Can you help us?" + +The man looked at them and saw their box. He saw that they were wet and cold. He was kind and friendly. + +"Sure, kids!" he said. "What do you need?" + +"We need a ride home!" Leo said. "Our car is broken!" + +The man nodded. He got out of the truck and lifted the box. He put it in the back of the truck. He gave Mia and Leo a blanket and a cookie. He invited them to sit in the front with him. + +"Where do you live?" he asked. + +"We live on Maple Street, number 12!" Mia said. + +"That's not far from here!" he said. "I'll take you there in no time!" + +He started the truck and drove away. He turned on the radio and heard opera. He smiled and sang along. Mia and Leo smiled and sang along too. They felt warm and happy. They liked the truck. It was dependable. It was like a friend. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up. Their room is very messy. There are toys, books, clothes and papers everywhere. + +One day, their mom comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, you have to clean up your room. It is too messy. You cannot find anything. And I cannot walk. Look, I almost stepped on your car, Tom. And Lily, your doll is under the bed. She is sad." + +Tom and Lily do not want to clean up. They say, "But mom, we are having fun. We do not want to stop playing. Cleaning is boring. And hard. Can we do it later?" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have to do it now. If you do not clean up, you will not learn how to be tidy. And you will not be ready for university. Do you know what university is?" + +Tom and Lily shake their heads. They do not know what university is. Mom says, "University is a big place where you can learn many things. You can read books, do experiments, make art, play music and more. But you have to be tidy and organized. You have to put your things in the right place. You have to find your books and papers. You have to follow the rules. If you are messy, you will lose your things, forget your homework, make mistakes and get in trouble." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They do not want to lose their things, forget their homework, make mistakes and get in trouble. They want to learn many things. They want to go to university. They say, "OK, mom, we will clean up our room. We want to be tidy and organized. We want to be ready for university." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. I will help you. Let's start with the toys. Put them in the box. Then we will do the books, the clothes and the papers. And then we will have a snack. And maybe we can read a story about university." + +Tom and Lily nod. They start to clean up their room. They put their toys in the box. They appear happy. They are not bored. They are learning. They are dreaming. They are getting ready for university. +Lily loved to draw with her pastels. She had many colors and she made impressive pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows. She liked to show her drawings to her mom and dad, who always praised her. + +One day, Lily wanted to draw a big sun on a blue paper. She looked for her yellow pastel, but she could not find it. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my yellow pastel?" + +Mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it in your room or in the playroom. Why don't you go and look for it?" + +Lily went to her room and searched for her yellow pastel. She looked under her bed, in her closet, in her toy box, but she could not find it. She felt sad and frustrated. She went to the playroom and looked there too, but she still could not find it. + +Then she saw her brother, Max, sitting on the floor with a book. He had her yellow pastel in his hand and he was using it to color the pages. Lily felt angry and shouted, "Max, that is my yellow pastel! You took it without asking me! Give it back to me!" + +Max looked up and said, "No, Lily, this is my pastel. I found it on the table and I like it. It is bright and shiny. Go away and leave me alone!" + +Lily did not go away. She ran to Max and tried to take the pastel from his hand. They both pulled and tugged and yelled. The pastel broke in half and fell on the floor. They both stopped and stared at the broken pastel. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the playroom. She saw the broken pastel and the angry faces of Lily and Max. She said, "What happened here? Why are you fighting over a pastel?" + +Lily and Max told Mom what happened. They both said they were sorry and they hugged each other. Mom said, "I'm glad you apologized, but you should not take things that are not yours without asking. And you should not break things that are not yours either. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Lily and Max said they would feel bad and they would not do it again. Mom said, "That's good. Now, why don't you share the pastel and draw something together? Maybe you can make a new picture with both halves of the yellow pastel." + +Lily and Max liked that idea. They picked up the pastel pieces and went to the table. They drew a big sun with a smiley face and rays of different colors. They used the yellow pastel for the sun and the other pastels for the rays. They made a beautiful and impressive picture. They showed it to Mom and said, "Look, Mom, we made this together!" + +Mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lily and Max! I'm proud of you. You are good siblings and good artists. You can hang your picture on the wall and admire it every day." + +Lily and Max hugged Mom and thanked her. They were happy and proud too. They learned to share and to make something new out of something broken. They learned that drawing with pastels was more fun when they did it together. +Lily and Ben like to play with clay. They make shapes and animals and faces. They have fun and laugh a lot. Sometimes they change their clay. They squish it and roll it and make new things. + +One day, they make a big sun with yellow clay. They put it on the window to dry. They are proud of their sun. It is bright and happy. They show it to mom and dad. Mom and dad smile and say it is very good. + +The next day, they want to see their sun again. But when they look at the window, they see a crack. The sun is broken. They feel sad and cry. Mom and dad hear them and come to see. They hug them and say it is okay. + +They tell them that clay can crack when it is dry. They say they can make a new sun or something else. They say they can use glue to fix the crack. They say they are still proud of them. They say they love them. + +Lily and Ben stop crying. They feel better. They decide to make a new sun with glue and glitter. They have fun and laugh again. They are proud of their new sun. It is shiny and sparkly. They put it on the window to dry. They hope it will not crack. They show it to mom and dad. Mom and dad smile and say it is very good. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Ben had a big red fireman truck that made loud noises. Sam had a small blue mixer that could mix things in a bowl. One day, they decided to play together in the kitchen. + +"Let's make a cake for Mommy," Ben said. "We can use the fireman truck to bring the ingredients." + +"OK," Sam said. "I will use the mixer to mix them in the bowl." + +They found some flour, sugar, eggs, and milk in the cupboard and the fridge. They put them in the fireman truck and drove it to the table. Then they poured them into the bowl. + +"Mix, mix, mix," Sam said, as he turned on the mixer. The mixer made a whirring sound and the ingredients started to blend. + +But Sam was clumsy and he did not hold the mixer well. He dropped it into the bowl and it splashed everywhere. The flour, sugar, eggs, and milk flew out of the bowl and landed on the floor, the table, the walls, and the brothers. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. "We made a mess." + +They heard Mommy coming from the living room. They tried to hide under the table, but it was too late. Mommy saw the mess and was very angry. + +"What have you done?" Mommy shouted. "You ruined the kitchen and wasted the food. And you used my mixer and fireman truck without asking. You are very naughty boys. You are in big trouble." + +She took away their toys and sent them to their room. They had no cake, no fireman truck, no mixer, and no fun. They were very sad and sorry. They wished they had played nicely. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they decided to make a village with blocks and cars and dolls. + +"Look, this is my house," Sara said. She put a big block on the floor and a small block on top. "And this is my car." She put a red car next to the house. + +"That's fine," Tom said. He put a blue block on the floor and a yellow block on top. "This is my house. And this is my bike." He put a green bike next to the house. + +They made more houses and roads and shops. They put dolls and animals in the village. They pretended to be the people and the animals. They had fun. + +But then, Sara's mom came. She said it was time to go home. Sara and Tom were sad. + +"Can we play again tomorrow?" Sara asked. + +"Sure," Tom said. "But we have to clean up first." + +They put the blocks and the cars and the dolls and the animals back in the box. They said goodbye to each other and to the village. + +"Bye, village," Sara said. "See you tomorrow." + +"Bye, village," Tom said. "You are fine." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They see many things in the landscape: trees, flowers, birds, and hills. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they find a big rock. It is smooth and shiny. They climb on it and look around. They see a lake with water and ducks. They see a bridge with cars and people. They see a cloud with shapes and colors. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "Do you know what I see in the cloud?" + +"What do you see?" Anna asks. + +"I see a heart. Do you see it?" Ben points. + +Anna looks. She sees the heart too. It is pink and fluffy. She smiles. + +"I see it. It is like a hug in the sky!" she says. + +They hug each other. They are happy and ready to play more. They slide down the rock and run to the lake. They feed the ducks and splash the water. They enjoy the landscape and the cloud. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are friends who like to play space. They have a big box that they pretend is a rocket. They put on helmets and suits and say they are going to visit different planets. + +One day, they decide to go to a quiet planet where there are no people or animals or noises. They get in the box and count down. "Three, two, one, blast off!" they shout. The box shakes and they pretend to fly through the sky. + +They land on the quiet planet and get out of the box. They look around and see rocks and sand and stars. They walk and jump and explore. They have fun. + +But then, Tom and Mia forget something. They forget where they left their box. They look and look, but they cannot find it. They start to feel scared and sad. They want to go back home. + +"Where is our rocket?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. I forget." Mia says. + +They hug each other and cry. They wish they had not gone to the quiet planet. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Tom's mom. She has found their box in the backyard. She calls them and tells them to come back. She says it is time for lunch. + +Tom and Mia run to their box and get in. They are happy to see Tom's mom. They say they are sorry for forgetting their box. They say they will not go to the quiet planet again. + +They fly back home and have lunch. They tell Tom's mom about their adventure. She smiles and hugs them. She says they have good imaginations. She says she loves them. They love her too. +Tom and Mia like to play outside. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun in the sun and the wind. But sometimes the weather is bad. Then they have to play inside. + +One day, the weather is very bad. It is rainy and stormy. The sky is dark and the wind is noisy. Tom and Mia cannot play outside. They are sad. They look out the window and wish the weather was good. + +They play inside with their toys. They have a train, a doll and a puzzle. They try to have fun, but they miss the outside. They hear the wind and the rain. They are bored. + +Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their dad. He has returned from work. He has a big smile and a surprise. He has a new book for them. It is a book about the weather. It has pictures and words. It tells them why the weather changes and what it does. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They hug their dad and thank him. They sit with him on the couch and look at the book. They learn about the sun, the clouds, the rain and the wind. They see how the weather makes the plants grow and the animals live. They see how the weather can be fun and beautiful. + +They forget about the bad weather outside. They enjoy the book and their dad. They are not bored anymore. They are glad their dad returned. They hope the weather will be good tomorrow. But they know they can have fun inside too. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Anna says. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep." + +They hold hands and start to walk to the hill. They see some flowers, some rocks, and some bugs on the way. They stop to look at them and touch them. They are happy and curious. + +They reach the top of the hill. They look around. They see a beautiful lake with some ducks and fish. They see some trees with some birds and squirrels. They see some clouds with some shapes and colors. + +"Wow!" Anna says. "This is so beautiful! Look at the lake and the trees and the clouds!" + +"Wow!" Ben says. "This is so beautiful! Look at the ducks and the fish and the birds!" + +They sit on the grass and watch the lake and the trees and the clouds. They smile and laugh. They are amazed and grateful. + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She is calling them from their house. + +"Anna! Ben! Time to come back! It is getting dark!" + +They look at each other. They do not want to leave the hill. They want to stay and play. + +"Can we stay a little longer?" Anna asks. + +"Please?" Ben adds. + +They hear their mom again. She sounds more serious. + +"Anna! Ben! Come back now! It is not safe to be on the hill at night!" + +They sigh. They know they have to listen to their mom. They stand up and start to walk back to their house. + +They look at the hill one more time. They shrug. They know they can come back another day. They know the hill will be there, waiting for them. They know the hill is their friend. +Tom and Mia like to play with their net. They catch bugs and frogs and put them in a jar. They look at them and learn their names. Then they let them go and say bye-bye. + +One day, they find a big butterfly. It has many colors and shiny wings. They are very happy and run to catch it with their net. But the butterfly is fast and smart. It flies away from the net and hides in the flowers. + +Tom and Mia look for the butterfly. They look here and there, but they cannot find it. They are sad and wonder where it went. They ask their mom, but she does not know. She says maybe the butterfly disappeared. + +Tom and Mia do not understand. How can something disappear? They think maybe the butterfly is playing a trick on them. They think maybe it will come back and say hello. They wait and wait, but the butterfly does not come back. + +They go back to their net. It is empty and lonely. They wish they could see the butterfly again. They say sorry for trying to catch it. They say they only wanted to be friends. They hope the butterfly is happy and free. They hope it will remember them. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to drink juice, especially orange juice. She always asked her mom for juice when she was thirsty. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. They saw many animals and plants. Lily wanted to know their names and how they lived. She raised her hand and pointed at a bird. "Mom, what is that?" she asked. + +"That is a robin, Lily. It is a kind of bird that sings and flies. It has red feathers on its chest and brown feathers on its back. It eats worms and seeds," her mom explained. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked the robin. She raised her hand again and pointed at a flower. "Mom, what is that?" she asked. + +"That is a daisy, Lily. It is a kind of flower that grows in the grass. It has white petals and a yellow center. It smells nice and attracts bees and butterflies," her mom said. + +Lily sniffed the daisy and giggled. She liked the daisy. She raised her hand once more and pointed at a bottle. "Mom, what is that?" she asked. + +"That is juice, Lily. It is a drink that we brought from home. It is made from oranges and water. It is sweet and refreshing. Do you want some?" her mom offered. + +Lily nodded eagerly. She liked juice. She said, "Yes, please, mom. I am thirsty. Can I have some juice?" + +Her mom smiled and opened the bottle. She poured some juice into a cup and gave it to Lily. Lily took the cup and drank the juice. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love juice. And I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. You are a very intelligent girl. And a very curious one. You always want to know more about the world." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I do. The world is very big and very interesting. There are so many things to see and learn. Can we come to the park again?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. We can come to the park anytime you want. And we can bring more juice too." + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yay! That sounds fun. I can't wait to see more animals and plants. And to drink more juice. Juice is my favorite drink." + +Her mom laughed and said, "Mine too, Lily. Mine too." +Ben is a pupil who likes to learn new things. He is enthusiastic about reading, writing, and counting. He always listens to his teacher and does his homework.

Anna was scared. She did not want to go. + +At the park, Anna saw many kids. They ran and laughed and played. Anna held her mom's hand. She did not want to join them. She saw a big slide. She wanted to try it, but she was shy. + +Then, she saw a boy. He had a red hat and a blue coat. He was holding something in his hand. It was ice. He had found it on the ground. It was cold and shiny. He saw Anna and smiled. He walked to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to see my ice?" + +Anna blinked. She was surprised. She looked at the ice. It was pretty.

They see the big blue water and the soft yellow sand. They are very happy. + +"Look, Ben, there is a boat!" Mia says, pointing to a white boat on the water. "It is going very fast. It is speeding!" + +"Wow, Mia, you are right. The boat is speeding. It looks fun. Do you want to go on the boat?" Ben asks, smiling. + +"Yes, Ben, I want to go on the boat. But we have to ask mom and dad first. Come on, let's go!" Mia says, grabbing Ben's hand. They run to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a blanket under an umbrella. + +"Mom, dad, can we go on the boat? Please, please, please!" Ben and Mia say together, jumping up and down. + +"Which boat, sweeties?" Mom asks, looking at the water. + +"That boat, mom, the white one. It is speeding. It looks fun. Please, can we go?" Mia says, pointing to the boat. + +Mom and dad look at the boat. They see that it is a small boat with a friendly man and a cute dog on it. The man is waving at them and the dog is barking. + +"Sure, sweeties, you can go on the boat. But you have to wear these vests and hold on tight. And listen to the man and the dog. They will take good care of you. OK?" Dad says, giving them orange vests and helping them put them on. + +"OK, dad, we will. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Ben and Mia say, hugging their mom and dad. They run to the boat, where the man and the dog are waiting for them. + +"Hello, little ones. I'm Sam and this is Spot. We are going to take you for a ride on the water. Are you ready?" Sam says, smiling. + +"Yes, Sam, we are ready. We are Ben and Mia. We are adventurous twins. We like to speed!" Ben and Mia say, climbing on the boat. + +"Great, Ben and Mia. You are adventurous twins. You will like to speed. Hold on tight, here we go!" Sam says, starting the boat. + +The boat speeds on the water, making big waves and splashes. Ben and Mia laugh and scream with joy. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They see the fish and the birds and the shells. They wave at their mom and dad, who wave back. They pet Spot, who wags his tail. They have a lot of fun. + +They are very happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they disagree. One day, they want to go outside and play in the snow. Ben puts on his red coat and his blue hat. Lily puts on her pink coat and her purple hat. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben says. He zips up his zipper and runs to the door. + +"Wait, Ben!" Lily says. She tries to zip up her zipper, but it is stuck. She pulls and pulls, but it does not move. She feels sad and mad. + +"Help me, Ben!" Lily says. "My zipper is stuck!" + +Ben comes back and looks at Lily's zipper. He sees that it is twisted and jammed. He tries to fix it, but it is too hard. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I can't fix it. Let's go without your zipper. It's not cold outside." + +"No, Ben!" Lily says. "I need my zipper. It's very cold outside. I will freeze without my zipper. You are silly, Ben!" + +Ben and Lily disagree. They start to argue. They raise their voices and make faces. They do not listen to each other. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Ben and Lily fighting. She sees Lily's zipper. She is tall and smart. She knows how to fix it. + +"Stop, Ben and Lily!" Mom says. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Ben wants to go outside without my zipper, but I need my zipper!" Lily says. + +"Lily's zipper is stuck, but it's not cold outside. She does not need her zipper!" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You both have good reasons, but you need to be kind and patient. Let me help you, Lily. I can fix your zipper. Then you can both go outside and play in the snow. But first, you need to say sorry to each other." + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They say sorry and hug each other. Mom fixes Lily's zipper. She says, "There you go, Lily. Your zipper is fine now. You can put on your coat and your hat. You are both ready to go outside and play in the snow. Have fun, but be careful!" + +Ben and Lily thank Mom and smile. They put on their coats and their hats. They zip up their zippers.

They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Sam said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a lot of rotten food. It smelled disgusting. They made a face and said "Yuck!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, angry dog. It had seen the box and wanted the food. It barked and ran towards them. + +"Help!" Tom and Sam screamed. + +They dropped the lid and ran away. But the dog was faster. It caught Tom by his leg and bit him hard. Tom cried and bled. Sam was scared and ran faster. He did not stop to help Tom. He just wanted to be safe. + +He reached the gate and ran out of the park. He looked back and saw the dog still biting Tom. He felt sorry for Tom, but he did not go back. He was too afraid. + +He ran all the way home and told his mom what happened. His mom was shocked and angry. She called the police and the ambulance. She said to Sam, "How could you leave your friend like that? You should have stayed with him and tried to help him. That was very bad of you. You are not a good friend." + +Sam felt ashamed and sad. He wished he had been brave and kind. He wished he had not parted from Tom. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that friends should stick together and help each other, even when they are scared. He learned that being selfish and cowardly can hurt others and yourself. He learned that some things are more important than curiosity and fun. He learned that some boxes are better left unopened. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They saw a big yacht on the water. It was white and shiny. They wanted to go on the yacht. + +"Let's swim to the yacht!" Tom said. + +"No, it's too far and too deep. We can't swim that well." Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran into the water and started to swim. Lily was scared. She shouted to Tom. + +"Tom, come back! It's not safe!" + +But Tom did not hear her. He swam and swam. He got tired and cold. He felt something bite his leg. It was a fish. It hurt a lot. He screamed. + +"Help! Help! A fish bit me!" + +Lily heard Tom scream. She was very worried. She looked for help. She saw a man on the beach. He had a phone. She ran to him and said. + +"Please, help! My friend is in the water. A fish bit him. He is hurt!" + +The man heard Lily. He saw Tom in the water. He called for help. He said. + +"Hello, this is an emergency. There is a boy in the water. He is hurt by a fish. Please send a boat." + +Soon, a boat came. It was a rescue boat. It had a red cross on it. The boat went to Tom. The people on the boat helped Tom. They took him out of the water. They put a bandage on his leg. They gave him a blanket. They took him to the yacht. + +Lily was happy. She saw Tom on the yacht. He was safe. He waved to her. She waved back. She said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm glad you are okay." + +Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you." + +They smiled at each other. They learned a lesson. They thanked the people who helped them. They went back to the beach. They played with their sand toys. They had fun. They did not swim to the yacht again. +Tom and Lily are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. They find many shells of different colors and shapes. Some are big and some are small. Some are smooth and some are bumpy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shell with a hole in it!" Tom says, holding up a white shell. "I can see the water through it!" + +"Wow, that's a pretty shell, Tom!" Lily says, admiring the shell. "Can I see it?" + +Tom gives the shell to Lily and she looks at it closely. She sees something moving inside the hole. She gasps and drops the shell. + +"Tom, Tom, there's something in the shell!" Lily says, pointing at the sand. + +Tom picks up the shell and looks at it. He sees a tiny head poking out of the hole. It has two eyes and two antennas. It is a snail. + +"Hello, snail!" Tom says, smiling. "You live in the shell?" + +The snail nods slowly and comes out of the hole a little more. It has a slimy body and a round shell on its back. It is a slow snail. + +"Can we keep the snail, Mom?" Lily asks, running to Mom with the shell. + +Mom looks at the snail and smiles. She says, "The snail is very cute, but it belongs to the sea. It needs water and seaweed to live. We can't take it home." + +Tom and Lily feel sad. They like the snail. They want to be its friends. + +"Can we play with the snail for a while, Mom?" Tom asks, holding the shell gently. + +Mom nods and says, "Yes, you can play with the snail for a while, but then you have to put it back in the water. OK?" + +Tom and Lily agree and say, "OK, Mom." + +They take the snail to the edge of the water and put it on a rock. They watch the snail rise and fall with the waves. They talk to the snail and give it some seaweed. They have fun with the snail. + +Soon, the sun starts to set and the sky turns orange. Mom and Dad say, "It's time to go home, kids. Say goodbye to the snail." + +Tom and Lily hug the snail and say, "Goodbye, snail. We will miss you. Thank you for playing with us." + +The snail waves its antennas and says, "Goodbye, Tom. Goodbye, Lily. You are very nice. Thank you for the seaweed." + +Tom and Lily put the snail back in the water and watch it swim away. They wave to the snail and smile. They are happy they met the snail. They hope to see it again. They go home with Mom and Dad. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to go out with Mom and Dad. One day, they go to a restaurant. The restaurant has many yummy foods. Lily and Ben want to try them all. + +They see a big cake on a plate. It has pink and white frosting. It looks very sweet. Lily and Ben ask Mom and Dad if they can have some. Mom and Dad say yes, but only a little. They say too much cake is bad for their teeth. + +Lily and Ben nod. They take a small fork and cut a piece of cake. They put it in their mouths. But the cake does not taste good. It tastes bad. It tastes like dirt and worms. Lily and Ben spit out the cake. They make a face. They say, "Yuck!" + +Mom and Dad look at the cake. They see that the cake is old and rotten. It has green and black spots. It smells bad. Mom and Dad are angry. They call the waiter. They say, "This cake is rotten! How can you serve this to us? We want a new cake and our money back!" + +The waiter is ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not know. The cake was in the fridge for a long time. I forgot to check it. I will get you a new cake and your money back. Please don't be mad." + +Mom and Dad are still mad, but they calm down. They say, "OK, but you should be more careful. Rotten food can make people sick. You should throw away the bad cake and clean the plate." + +The waiter nods. He takes away the bad cake and the plate. He brings a new cake and their money back. He says, "Here you go. I'm very sorry for the trouble. Please enjoy the new cake. It is fresh and tasty." + +Lily and Ben look at the new cake. It has yellow and blue frosting. It looks very nice. They ask Mom and Dad if they can have some. Mom and Dad say yes, but only a little. They say too much cake is still bad for their teeth. + +Lily and Ben nod. They take a small fork and cut a piece of cake. They put it in their mouths. The cake tastes good. It tastes like honey and berries. Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Yum!" +Lily liked to fix things. She had a box of tools that her dad gave her. She had a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench and some nails. She liked to fix her toys, her bike and her dollhouse. + +One dull Tuesday, she was bored. She had nothing to fix. She looked around her room and saw her teddy bear. He had a hole in his ear. Lily decided to fix him. She took her needle and thread and went to work. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" said the teddy bear. "That hurts, Lily. Why are you poking me?" + +Lily was surprised. She did not know her teddy bear could talk. She stopped and looked at him. + +"I'm sorry, teddy. I wanted to fix your ear. You have a hole and it looks bad. Don't you want to be fixed?" + +The teddy bear sighed. He looked at Lily with his one good eye. + +"Lily, I love you. You are my best friend. But you don't have to fix me. I like my hole. It makes me special. It shows that I have been with you for a long time. It shows that you have hugged me and played with me and loved me. I don't want to be fixed. I want to be your teddy bear." + +Lily smiled. She understood. She put away her needle and thread. She hugged her teddy bear and kissed his ear. + +"I love you too, teddy. You are my best friend. You don't have to be fixed. You are perfect the way you are." + +They snuggled together on the bed and read a book. Lily was not bored anymore. She was happy. She had her teddy bear. And he had her. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to help their dad. Their dad was a mailman who delivered letters and packages to many houses. Every morning, he gave Anna and Ben a hug and a kiss and said, "Be good and have fun today." + +One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it was raining a lot. Anna and Ben were bored and sad. They missed their dad and wondered if he was wet and cold. They looked at the calendar on the wall and saw that it was almost Christmas. They wished they could do something nice for their dad. + +They had an idea. They found some paper, crayons, scissors, and glue. They made a big card for their dad. They drew pictures of their dad delivering mail, of their house, of their dog, and of themselves. They wrote, "We love you, Dad. You are the best mailman ever. Merry Christmas." They put the card in an envelope and wrote their dad's name on it. + +They put on their coats, hats, and boots. They took the card and ran outside. They saw their dad's mail truck parked at the end of the street. They ran to the truck and knocked on the window. Their dad opened the door and smiled. He was surprised and happy to see them. + +"Hi, Anna and Ben. What are you doing here?" he asked. + +"We have something for you, Dad," Anna said. + +"We made you a card, Dad," Ben said. + +They gave him the envelope. He opened it and saw the card. He read it and looked at the pictures. He felt warm and proud. He hugged Anna and Ben and said, "Thank you, my sweeties. This is the best gift ever. You made my gloomy day bright. I love you, too. Merry Christmas." +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus says "City Tour". Tom and Ann want to go on the bus. + +"Let's go on the bus!" Tom says. "We can see the city!" + +"But we have no money," Ann says. "And we have to ask mom and dad." + +"Who cares?" Tom says. "We can sneak on the bus. It will be fun!" + +Tom and Ann run to the bus. They hide behind some people. They get on the bus. The bus driver does not see them. The bus starts to move. + +"Wow, look at the city!" Tom says. He points at the buildings, the cars, the people. "It is so big and cool!" + +Ann is scared. She does not like the city. It is too loud and busy. She misses the park. She wants to go back. + +"Tom, I don't like this," Ann says. "I want to go home. How do we get off the bus?" + +Tom does not know. He looks at the bus driver. The bus driver is angry. He sees Tom and Ann. He stops the bus. + +"Hey, you two!" the bus driver yells. "What are you doing here? You have no tickets! You are stupid kids! Get off my bus!" + +Tom and Ann are sorry. They are in trouble. They get off the bus. They are lost in the city. They cry. + +"Tom, this was a bad idea," Ann says. "We should have listened to mom and dad. They know best." + +Tom nods. He is sad. He hugs Ann. + +"I'm sorry, Ann," Tom says. "I was stupid. I wanted to see the city. But I like the park better. Let's find our way back." + +Tom and Ann hold hands. They look for the park. They hope mom and dad will forgive them. They learn a lesson. They never go on the bus again. +Anna liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sang loud and happy. + +One day, Anna saw a new figure on the shelf. It was a bird. It had blue feathers and a yellow beak. It looked pretty. Anna wanted to sing to the bird. She climbed on a chair and reached for the figure. + +"Anna, be careful!" her mom said. "That figure is not a toy. It is fragile. It can break. You can look at it, but don't touch it." + +But Anna was stubborn. She did not listen to her mom. She grabbed the figure and held it in her hands. She sang to the bird. She sang, "Hello, bird, hello, bird, you are so pretty and blue. Do you want to sing with me, sing with me, sing with me too?" + +The bird did not sing. It did not move. It did not like Anna's song. It was not a real bird. It was a glass bird. Anna squeezed the figure too hard. It cracked. It broke. It fell to the floor. It shattered. + +Anna was sad. She cried. She dropped the figure and got off the chair. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, mom, I broke the bird. I wanted to sing to it, but it did not sing back. It was not a real bird. It was a glass bird." + +Her mom was not angry. She was calm. She hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, Anna, it's okay, Anna, I know you did not mean to break the bird. You were curious and excited. But you have to be careful with things that are not toys. They can be fragile and dangerous. You have to listen to me when I tell you not to touch them. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I understand, mom, I understand, mom, I will listen to you next time. I will be careful with things that are not toys. I will sing to my toys instead. They like my song. They are not fragile. They are not dangerous. They are real to me." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Anna, that's good, Anna, I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you, Anna, I love you, Anna, you are my sweet and smart girl. And I love your song. You have a beautiful voice. You can sing to me anytime." + +Anna smiled too. She said, "I love you too, mom, I love you too, mom, you are my kind and wise mom. And I love your voice too. You can sing with me anytime." + +They hugged and kissed. They sang together. They sang loud and happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big truck with many things on it. The truck says "Garage Sale". + +"Mom, can we look at the things?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but we have to be careful. Some things might be broken or dirty," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the truck. They see toys, books, clothes, and more. They touch and pick up some things. Lily finds a doll with a pink dress. Ben finds a horn that makes a loud noise. + +"Look, Mom, a doll!" Lily says. + +"Look, Mom, a horn!" Ben says. + +They show their mom what they found. Mom smiles. + +"Those are nice things. Do you want to buy them?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are happy. They want to play with their doll and horn. + +Mom takes out some money from her purse. She gives some to Lily and some to Ben. + +"Here, you can pay for your things. They are very cheap. Only one dollar each," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben take the money. They go to the man who owns the truck. He is sitting on a chair. + +"Hello, little ones. What do you have there?" the man asks. + +Lily and Ben show him their doll and horn. + +"We want to buy these, please," Lily says. + +"Sure, sure. That's one dollar for the doll and one dollar for the horn. Here you go," the man says. + +He takes the money and gives them a bag. + +"Thank you, sir," Ben says. + +"Thank you, sir," Lily says. + +They put their things in the bag.

You discovered some nice things at the garage sale," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben smile. They are proud. They discovered some nice things at the garage sale. They can't wait to play with their doll and horn. +Ben did not like onions. He hated how they smelled and how they made his eyes water. He always picked them out of his food and threw them away. His mom said he had to eat them because they were good for him, but he did not care. + +One day, his mom made a big pot of soup for dinner. She put lots of onions in it, hoping Ben would not notice. She ladled some soup into his bowl and put it in front of him. Ben looked at the soup and saw the white and green bits floating in it. He knew they were onions. He felt miserable. + +He pushed the bowl away and said, "I don't want this. It has onions. I hate onions." + +His mom sighed and said, "Ben, please try it. It's delicious. You can't even taste the onions. They make the soup sweet and rich." + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I won't eat it. Take it away." + +His mom got angry and said, "Ben, you are being very rude and stubborn. You have to eat your dinner. You can't waste food. There are many children who would love to have this soup." + +Ben did not listen. He yelled, "I don't care. I don't want it. I don't like it. I don't like onions. They are yucky and stinky and gross." + +He grabbed his bowl and threw it on the floor. The soup splashed everywhere. The onions flew in the air. One of them landed on Ben's nose. He screamed and rubbed his nose. His eyes started to water. He felt a burning sensation in his nostrils. He cried and cried. + +His mom was shocked and furious. She said, "Ben, look what you have done. You have made a big mess. You have wasted good food. You have hurt yourself. You have been very naughty and foolish. You need to go to your room right now and think about what you have done. And don't come out until you are ready to say sorry and eat your onions." + +She picked up Ben and carried him to his room. She put him on his bed and closed the door. Ben lay on his bed, sobbing and sniffling. He wished he had not yelled and thrown his soup. He wished he had not been so mean to his mom. He wished he had not been so silly about onions. He wished he had tried the soup. Maybe it was not so bad. Maybe he would like it. Maybe he would like onions. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. He felt miserable. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their jeep. Their jeep is fake, but they pretend it is real. They make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they take their jeep to the park. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill with their jeep.

He raises his hand. He wants to hit the dog. Lily stops him. She raises her eye. She looks at Ben. + +"No, Ben. Don't hit the dog. The dog is sorry. The dog did not know. The dog just wanted to have fun." Lily says. She is kind. + +Ben lowers his hand. He lowers his eye. He feels bad. He says sorry to the dog. The dog wags his tail. The dog licks Ben's face. Ben smiles. + +Lily smiles too. She says, "Let's make the tower again. But this time, let's make it fit for the dog. The dog can help us. The dog can be our friend." Ben agrees. They hug the dog. They start to build the tower again. They are happy. +Tom is a bear who likes honey very much. He is independent and does not listen to his mother. One day, he smells honey in the forest and follows the smell. He does not see the bee hive on the tree. + +"Tom, where are you going?" his mother calls. "Come back, it is dangerous!" + +But Tom does not hear his mother. He only thinks of honey. He climbs the tree and reaches for the bee hive. He does not see the bees inside. + +The bees are angry.

I will not follow the smell of honey again. I will stay with you and listen to you. I love you, mommy." + +His mother smiles and says, "I love you too, Tom. But you need to be careful. The bees may come back. We need to go home and find a safe place." + +They walk back to their den, but they are too late. The bees have followed them and attacked their home. They have taken all their honey and destroyed their nest. Tom and his mother have nowhere to go. They are hungry and cold. They are very unhappy. +Sam and Mia are friends.

He sprays some water on the grass. Sam and Mia laugh and clap. + +They have a lot of fun with the truck. They thank the firefighter for letting them look at the truck. They say goodbye and run back to the park. They pretend to be firefighters and save people from fires. They use sticks as ladders and bottles as hoses. They are happy and proud. They think the truck is the best thing they have ever seen. They hope to see it again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they also like to win. They are very competitive. + +One morning, they want to eat cereal for breakfast. But there is only one box left. They both run to the kitchen and try to grab it. + +"Give me the cereal!" Anna shouts. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben yells. + +They pull and tug on the box. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not care. + +Suddenly, the box rips open. Cereal flies everywhere. It lands on the floor, on the table, on the chairs, on the window. Some cereal even goes into the fish tank. + +The fish see the cereal. They think it is food. They dive into the cereal and eat it. They are happy. + +Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at the mess. They look at the fish. They feel bad. + +They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to mom and dad. They say sorry to the fish. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to share. They learn to be kind. They learn to be happy. +Tom and Lily are playing outside. They like to run and jump and laugh. They see a big cloud in the sky. The cloud is white and fluffy. It looks like a sheep. + +"Look, Lily, a sheep cloud!" Tom says. + +"Where, where?" Lily asks. + +"Up there, silly. Can you see it?" Tom points. + +Lily looks up. She sees the cloud. She smiles. + +"I see it, Tom. It is a sheep cloud. Baa, baa!" Lily says. + +They pretend to be sheep. They make sheep noises. They have fun. + +But then the cloud changes. It becomes dark and gray. It looks like a storm. + +"Oh no, Lily, the cloud is angry. It is going to rain!" Tom says. + +"Rain? I don't like rain. It makes me wet and cold." Lily says. + +They hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They see a bright light. It is lightning. + +"Quick, Lily, we have to rush. We have to go inside. The cloud is scary!" Tom says. + +They hold hands. They run to the house. They are fast. They are brave. + +They reach the door. They go inside. They are safe. + +Mom is there. She hugs them. She gives them cookies and milk. + +"Are you okay, Tom and Lily? You look scared." Mom says. + +"We are okay, Mom. We were playing outside. We saw a sheep cloud. But then it became a storm cloud. It was loud and bright. We rushed inside." Tom says. + +"You did well, Tom and Lily. You were smart to come inside. Storm clouds can be dangerous. But don't worry. They will go away soon. And then the sun will come out. And the sky will be clean and blue again." Mom says. + +"Really, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Really, Lily. And maybe you will see another sheep cloud. Or a different cloud. Clouds can be fun. They can be different shapes and colors. You can use your imagination." Mom says. + +Tom and Lily smile. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They look out the window. They wait for the storm to end. They wonder what cloud they will see next. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. Sara is bossy. She wants to tell Ben what to do. Ben does not like that. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. Sara says, "Let's make a house with the box. I will be the mom and you will be the dad." Ben says, "OK, but I want to cut a window in the box." Sara says, "No, you can't. You will make a mess. Just do what I say." + +Ben is sad. He wants to have fun, not to listen to Sara. He sees a pair of scissors on the shelf. He thinks, "Maybe I can cut a window when Sara is not looking." He takes the scissors and hides them behind his back. + +Sara and Ben go inside the box. Sara says, "Look, this is our house. It is cozy and nice. We have a bed, a table, and a lamp." Ben says, "Yes, it is nice. But it is dark. We need a window." Sara says, "No, we don't. We have a lamp. Stop being silly. Now, let's pretend to eat dinner." + +Sara takes out some plastic plates and cups. She puts them on the table. She says, "Here, this is your food. Eat it and say thank you." Ben says, "OK, thank you." He pretends to eat, but he is bored. He thinks, "Now is my chance. I will cut a window and make the house better." He takes out the scissors and starts to cut the box. + +Sara hears the noise. She says, "What are you doing? Stop it! You are ruining our house!" She turns around and sees Ben with the scissors. She gets angry. She says, "Give me those scissors! You are naughty!" She tries to grab the scissors from Ben. + +Ben does not want to give up the scissors. He says, "No, let me finish! I want a window!" He pulls the scissors away from Sara. But he is not careful. He accidentally cuts Sara's nose. + +Sara screams. She says, "Ow! Ow! Ow! You cut my nose! You hurt me!" She starts to cry. She runs out of the box and looks for mom. + +Ben is scared. He says, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cut your nose!" He drops the scissors and follows Sara. He hopes mom will not be mad at him. He thinks, "Maybe I should have listened to Sara. She is bossy, but she is my sister." +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used a big sheet to make a sail for their ship. They tied the sheet to their bed and chairs. + +"Come on, Max, let's go to the island!" Lily said. She was bossy and liked to tell Max what to do. Max followed her. He liked to make Lily happy. + +They climbed on the bed and held the sheet. They made noises like the wind and the waves. They shook the sheet to make it look like it was moving. + +"Look, there's the island!" Lily pointed to a pile of toys. "Let's go find the treasure!" + +They jumped off the bed and ran to the toys. They started to dig and search. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom came into the room. She saw the mess and the sheet. She was not happy. + +"We're playing pirates, Mom!" Lily said. + +"Well, you need to clean up this mess, pirates!" Mom said. "And put the sheet back on the bed. It's not a sail, it's a sheet!" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry and started to clean up. They folded the sheet and put it on the bed. They put the toys back in the box. + +"Good job, pirates!" Mom said. She smiled and gave them a hug. "Now, how about some cookies and milk?" + +Lily and Max cheered. They loved cookies and milk. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They decided to play something else later. Maybe they would be astronauts or cowboys. They liked to pretend and have fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys on the floor. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They were having fun and making noises. But then, Lily saw a big red car that Tom had. She wanted it very much. + +"Tom, can I play with your red car?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your own car. It's pink," Tom said. + +"But I like red more. Please, Tom, let me have it," Lily begged. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Lily. It's my car," Tom shouted. + +He pushed Lily away and held the car tightly. Lily was very upset. She started to cry and ran to the couch. She buried her face in a pillow and sobbed. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying on the couch and Tom playing with his car. She was not happy. + +"Tom, what did you do to Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Nothing. She wanted my car and I said no. It's mine," Tom said. + +Mom paused. She looked at Tom and then at Lily. She thought for a moment. + +"Tom, do you remember how you felt when Lily got a new bike for her birthday and you didn't?" Mom asked. + +Tom nodded. He remembered. He was very sad and jealous. He wanted a new bike too. + +"How would you feel if Lily didn't let you ride her bike or even touch it?" Mom asked. + +Tom frowned. He would feel angry and hurt. He wouldn't like that at all. + +"Well, that's how Lily feels right now. She likes your car and she wanted to play with it. But you didn't share it with her. You pushed her away and made her cry. That's not nice, Tom. That's not how we treat our sister," Mom said. + +Tom looked at Lily. She was still crying on the couch. He felt sorry for her. He realized he was wrong. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was mean to Lily. I didn't think about how she felt. Can I say sorry to her and share my car with her?" Tom asked. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Tom. + +"Yes, you can, Tom. That's very kind of you. Go and talk to Lily. I'm sure she will forgive you and play with you again," Mom said. + +Tom got up and walked to the couch. He held his car in his hand. He sat next to Lily and touched her shoulder. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I didn't share my car with you. Do you want to play with it?" Tom said. + +Lily looked up. She saw Tom's face and his car. She wiped her tears and smiled. + +"Really? You mean it?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I do. Here, you can have it. It's a nice car. We can take turns playing with it," Tom said. + +He gave the car to Lily. She took it and hugged it. She hugged Tom too. + +"Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother. I'm sorry I was mad at you. I love you," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. You're a good sister. Let's play together," Tom said. + +They got off the couch and went back to the floor. They played with the car and their other toys. They laughed and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy. +Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big truck with many equipment on it. The equipment are shiny and noisy. Tim and Lily want to touch them. + +"Let's go and see the equipment!" Tim says. + +"No, we can't. Mommy said we have to stay away from the truck. It is not safe." Lily says. + +"But I want to see them. They look fun." Tim says. + +He runs to the truck. Lily follows him. They climb on the equipment. They feel rough and hard. They hear a loud horn. + +"Hey, what are you doing there? Get off the truck!" A man shouts. + +He is the driver of the truck. He is angry. He walks to the truck. + +Tim and Lily are scared. They jump off the truck. They hide behind a bush. They hope the man will not find them. + +"Where are you? Come out now!" The man says. + +He looks around. He does not see Tim and Lily. He shakes his head. He gets back on the truck. He drives away. + +Tim and Lily come out of the bush. They are relieved. They run back to their mommy. + +"Mommy, we are sorry. We went to the truck. We touched the equipment. A man yelled at us. We hid behind a bush." Tim says. + +"Tim, Lily, that was very naughty. You could have been hurt. The equipment are not toys. They are for work. You have to listen to me. Never go near the truck again." Mommy says. + +She hugs them. She is glad they are safe. She takes them home. She gives them a snack. She tells them a story. They say sorry. They promise to be good. They love their mommy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big house with a fence and a sign that said "Keep Out". Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the house. + +"Let's go in," Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, we can't," Tom said. "The sign says keep out. Maybe there is a ghost in the house. Ghosts are scary. They can make noises and move things." + +Lily was not afraid of ghosts. She thought they were funny and friendly. She wanted to meet a ghost and talk to it. + +"Don't be silly," Lily said. "Ghosts are not scary. They are just lonely. Maybe they want to play with us. Come on, I will lead you to the house. We can be brave together." + +Lily took Tom's hand and led him to the house. They climbed over the fence and walked to the door. The door was old and rusty. Lily pushed it and it opened with a creak. Lily and Tom went inside the house. It was dark and dusty. There were cobwebs and broken things everywhere. + +"Hello, is anyone here?" Lily called out. "We are Lily and Tom. We want to be your friends." + +There was no answer. Lily and Tom walked around the house, looking for a ghost. They saw a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom. They did not see a ghost. + +"Maybe there is no ghost here," Tom said. "Maybe we should go back." + +"Wait, look," Lily said. "There is a door at the end of the hall. Maybe the ghost is there. Let's go and see." + +Lily and Tom walked to the door. It was locked. Lily tried to open it, but it did not move. + +"Knock, knock," Lily said. "Can we come in?" + +Suddenly, the door opened by itself. Lily and Tom saw a bright light coming from the room. They heard a voice that sounded like a bell. + +"Who are you?" the voice said. + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They saw a ghost in the room. The ghost was not scary. The ghost was attractive. The ghost had long hair and a dress that sparkled. The ghost smiled at Lily and Tom. + +"We are Lily and Tom," Lily said. "We came to play with you. Are you the ghost of the house?" + +"Yes, I am," the ghost said. "My name is Anna. I have been here for a long time. I am happy to see you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They liked Anna. She was nice and pretty. They went into the room and played with Anna. They had fun. They forgot about the sign and the fence and the time. They made a new friend. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Anna sees a big tree with thin branches. She wants to climb it. + +"Look, Ben, I can go up the tree!" she says. + +"No, Anna, it is too high. You can fall and hurt yourself," Ben says. + +But Anna does not listen. She climbs up the tree. She feels happy and brave. She reaches for a thin branch. But the branch is too thin. It breaks. Anna falls. + +"Anna!" Ben shouts. He runs to her. He sees blood on her hand and her head. He is scared. He cries for help. + +A lady hears him. She comes to see. She sees Anna on the ground. She calls 911. She tries to help Anna. But Anna does not move. She does not open her eyes. She does not talk. She is very still. + +The lady tells Ben that Anna is very hurt. She says they have to wait for the ambulance. She says she is sorry. Ben holds Anna's hand. He hopes she will wake up. But she does not. He is very sad. He wishes he could go back in time. He wishes Anna had listened to him. He wishes they had played somewhere else. He wishes they had a happy ending. But they do not. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, swing and slide in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red fruits on it. They were strawberries, sweet and juicy. + +"Look, Anna, strawberries!" Ben said. "Can we pick some?" + +"Yes, but we have to ask Mom first," Anna said. "She told us not to eat things we find in the park." + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench with a book. "Mom, Mom, can we have some strawberries?" they asked. + +Mom looked at the bush and smiled. "Those are strawberries, all right. You can have some, but only a few. And you have to wash them first, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom, we promise!" Anna and Ben said. + +They took a small basket and went to the bush. They picked some strawberries, but not too many. They washed them in a fountain and put them in the basket. They were very happy. + +They sat on a blanket under a tree and ate the strawberries. They shared them with Mom, who thanked them. They were delicious. Anna and Ben felt comfortable and full. They hugged Mom and each other. + +"We love you, Mom," they said. + +"I love you too, my sweeties," Mom said. "You are very good and smart. You kept your promise." + +They smiled and snuggled with Mom. They felt warm and safe.

You will feel the power of the wind in your hair." + +Ben runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He smiles at Mia. He says, "Look at me. I am brave. I know how to slide." + +He pushes himself down. He slides fast. He laughs. He reaches the bottom. He jumps up. He says, "That was awesome. I want to go again. Come on, Mia. You can do it. It is easy. You just have to know how to slide." + +Mia watches Ben. She sees him happy. She thinks, "Maybe he is right. Maybe it is not scary. Maybe it is lively.

She pulled the little girl by the hand and made her go to the car. + +Lila and Ben watched them go. They felt sorry for the little girl. They thought she had a lot of pain in her heart.

The juice spills all over the table and the floor and the car. Tom is scared and sad. He does not want his mom to be angry. + +He runs to the kitchen and gets a cloth. He tries to wipe the juice from the table and the floor and the car. But the cloth is too small and the juice is too much. He wipes and wipes but he cannot clean it all.

Can't you share the taxi and take turns?" + +Ben and Mia looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, twin. We can share the taxi and play together." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Sharing is caring. When you share, you make others happy and you are happy too. Now, where do you want to zoom the taxi first?" + +Ben and Mia hugged and said, "We want to zoom the taxi to the park and the zoo. We can see the flowers and the animals. Can you come with us, Mom?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, I can. Let's go, then. Zoom, zoom, zoom!" +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog.

One day, they plan to make a dress for Lily's doll. They find some cloth and a needle and thread. + +Lily cuts the cloth with scissors. Ben helps her. They put the cloth on the doll and pin it.

Do you want to come home with me?" + +Lily nodded and wiggled her nose. She hoped the boy would be nice and give her a big cage and lots of carrots. The boy picked up Lily and put her in a box. He said, "Don't worry, bunny. I will take good care of you." + +Lily was happy and excited. She wondered what her new home would be like. She hoped it would have a garden and other bunnies to play with. + +But when the boy opened the box, Lily was sad and scared. She saw a small cage with no toys and no carrots. She saw a big dog who barked and growled at her. She saw a sour lemon on the floor. + +The boy said, "This is your new home, bunny. You have to stay in this cage and eat this lemon. It is good for you. The dog is your friend. He will keep you company." + +Lily did not like her new home. She did not like the cage and the lemon and the dog. She wanted to hop and play and eat carrots. She wanted to go back to the pet shop. She said, "No, no, no. I don't want to stay here. I don't like this home. Please take me back." + +But the boy did not listen. He said, "Be quiet, bunny. You have to do what I say. You are mine now." + +Lily was sad and scared. She wished she had a friend to help her. She wished she had never left her cage. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the pool with their moms. Lily and Ben enjoy the swim.

You have to stay with me. This is important." She pointed at the computer. "This is my boss. He is telling me about my work. You have to be polite and listen." + +Lily did not want to listen. She wanted to hug her teddy bear and make it talk. She said, "Teddy, do you like meetings? I don't. They are long and dull. Let's go to the garden and play." She pointed at the window. "Look, there are birds and butterflies. They are happy and free. They don't have meetings." + +Mommy sighed and said, "Lily, I'm sorry, but we can't go to the garden right now. We have to finish this meeting. It will be over soon, I promise. Then we can play together.

They make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. + +One day, they see a new train in the toy store. It is a steam train. It has a big black engine and a red caboose. It can make real steam and whistle. Tim and Mia want the steam train very much. They ask their moms to buy it for them. + +But their moms say no. They say the steam train is too expensive and too big. They say Tim and Mia have enough trains already. They say they can play with the steam train in the store, but they cannot take it home. + +Tim and Mia are sad and angry. They do not want to play with the old trains. They want the new steam train. They start to yell at their moms. They say they need the steam train. They say they will not be happy without it. They say they will not share it with anyone. + +Their moms are not happy either. They say Tim and Mia are being rude and selfish. They say they have to stop yelling and calm down. They say they have to be grateful for what they have and be friendly to others. They say they have to leave the store if they do not behave. + +Tim and Mia do not listen. They keep yelling and crying. They do not care about their moms or the other people in the store. They only care about the steam train. + +But then, something happens. The steam train starts to make a loud noise. It is not a whistle. It is a hiss. The steam train is broken. The steam comes out of the engine in a big cloud. It fills the air with smoke and heat. It makes everyone cough and sneeze. + +Tim and Mia are scared. They stop yelling and run to their moms. They hug them and say they are sorry. They say they do not want the steam train anymore. They say they want to go home and play with their old trains. + +Their moms are glad. They hug them back and say they forgive them. They say they are proud of them for being brave and honest. They say they love them very much. They say they can go home and play with their old trains, and maybe, one day, they can get a new train that is not broken. +Lila and Tom were playing outside. They liked to look at the sky and the clouds. They saw many shapes and colors in the clouds. They saw a big white cloud that looked like a bunny. + +"Look, Tom, a bunny cloud!" Lila said, pointing. + +"I see it, Lila. It has long ears and a fluffy tail," Tom said, smiling. + +They watched the bunny cloud for a while. Then they saw something strange. The bunny cloud started to split in two. One part of the cloud moved to the left, and the other part moved to the right. + +"Hey, what's happening?" Lila asked, surprised. + +"The bunny cloud is splitting, Lila. Maybe it's going to make two bunnies," Tom guessed. + +They waited to see if the cloud would make two bunnies. But it didn't. The cloud kept splitting and splitting, until it was very small and thin. The sky became very blue and clear. There were no more clouds. + +"Where did the bunny cloud go?" Lila asked, sad. + +"It went away, Lila. Maybe it was too dry and the wind blew it away," Tom said, trying to cheer her up. + +"Will it come back?" Lila asked, hopeful. + +"Maybe, Lila. Maybe another day we will see another bunny cloud. Or a different cloud. There are many kinds of clouds," Tom said, hugging her. + +Lila nodded. She was still sad, but she felt better. She and Tom decided to play something else. They hoped to see more clouds another day. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together in the village. One day, they decided to play a game of guess. They took turns to think of something and give clues to the other. + +"I am thinking of something that is big and gray and has a long nose. What is it?" Lily asked. + +Tom thought hard. He looked around the village, but he did not see anything like that. He scratched his head and said, "Is it a house?" + +Lily laughed. "No, silly, a house is not gray and does not have a nose. Try again." + +Tom thought some more. He remembered seeing something like that in a book. He smiled and said, "Is it an elephant?" + +Lily clapped her hands. "Yes, you are right. It is an elephant. How did you know?" + +Tom showed her the book. "I saw it here. It is an animal that lives far away. It can make a loud sound and spray water with its nose." + +Lily was amazed. She wanted to see an elephant too. She said, "Can we go to the place where the elephants live?" + +Tom nodded. "Maybe one day, we can. But for now, let's play some more. It is your turn to guess. What are you thinking of?" +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they did not like to share. One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a ball that could change colors and make sounds. It was very pretty and fun. + +"Wow, look at this ball!" Lily said. "I want to play with it!" + +"No, I want to play with it!" Tom said. "It is mine!" + +They both grabbed the ball and pulled hard. The ball made a loud noise and flashed a bright light. Lily and Tom were scared and let go of the ball. + +"What was that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "But it does not seem happy." + +They looked at the ball and saw that it was not changing colors or making sounds anymore. It was just a plain gray ball. + +"Maybe we broke it," Lily said. "Maybe it did not like that we were selfish and did not share." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was selfish too. Can we share the ball and be nice to it?" + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "Yes, let's share the ball and be nice to it." + +They picked up the ball and hugged it gently. The ball made a soft noise and flashed a warm light. Lily and Tom smiled and played with the ball together. They learned that sharing was better than being selfish. +Once upon a time, there was a kind boy named Tim. Tim liked to play outside, but it was very cold. His hands were cold too, so his mom gave him a glove to wear. The glove was red and soft. Tim put the glove on his hand and felt warm. + +After playing outside, Tim went inside and saw his mom folding clothes. She asked him to help fold the clothes too. Tim folded his shirt and pants neatly. Then, he saw his red glove on the table and decided to fold it too.

He quickly swam away from the wave and continued to swim in the ocean. + +After a while, Nemo got tired and decided to go back to his home. When he got there, he saw that his friends had left him a gift. It was a shiny new toy that he could play with in the water. Nemo was very happy and grateful for his gift.

She ran outside and started picking flowers. She filled her tray with lots of pretty colors and shapes. + +As she walked back to the house, Lily saw a big tree in her path. She knew she couldn't go around it, so she had to yield and go a different way. She remembered her mom telling her to always yield to things that were too big or too strong to move. + +Lily made it safely back to the house with her tray of flowers. She was so happy to show her mom all the pretty flowers she had picked. Her mom was proud of her for yielding to the tree and using her bright tray to carry her treasures.

Tweet loved to fly high in the sky and go on adventures. One day, while flying, Tweet saw a yummy berry bush and decided to go down and eat some. But when Tweet landed on the ground, a bad cat jumped out and put Tweet in a cage. Tweet was very sad and wanted to go back home to his family. + +But then, a kind girl saw the cat with the cage and knew she had to help. She went up to the cat and said, "Let the bird go! It's not nice to keep animals in cages." The cat listened and opened the cage. Tweet was so happy to be free again and flew back home to his family. From that day on, Tweet never went near the bad cat again, but he did go back to the yummy berry bush for more delicious snacks. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Hoppy.

They looked like giants to her. She went on stage and said, "Can I join your play?" The actors were surprised but happy to have her. She acted so well that the audience clapped and cheered.

From then on, they went to the theater together all the time. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to ride his bike, but his mommy always made him wear a helmet. Timmy didn't like his helmet because it made his head hot and sweaty. + +One day, Timmy was riding his bike when he saw a man with an unknown face.

They grab their coats and hats. They say thank you to their moms. They run to the park. They have fun. They swing, slide, and play in the sandbox. They are glad they are friends. They like the park. The park is great. +Lily loved to slide on the big slide at the park. She liked to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. She always wore her pink helmet and her yellow shoes.

She saw a boy with curly hair and a blue shirt. He had a bottle of shampoo in his hand. He smiled at Lily and said, "Do you want to try something fun?" + +Lily was curious and nodded. The boy said, "Follow me to the top of the slide." He climbed up the ladder and Lily followed him. He opened the bottle of shampoo and poured some on the slide. He said, "This will make the slide slippery and shiny. It will be more fun to slide down." + +Lily was not sure. She thought the shampoo was for washing her hair, not for playing on the slide. She said, "Are you sure this is a good idea?" The boy said, "Trust me, it will be awesome. You go first." + +Lily hesitated, but she wanted to be brave and try something new.

They were covered in shampoo. They were wet and sticky. They were not happy. + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to hurt them. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The boy with the curly hair and the blue shirt ran away. He did not say sorry. He was not a nice boy. He was a naughty boy. + +Lily learned a lesson. She learned that shampoo is for washing her hair, not for playing on the slide. She learned that some boys are not nice and not fun. She learned that she should listen to her mom and not to strangers. She learned that sliding on the slide is fun, but only if it is safe. She hugged her mom and her baby brother and said, "I love you, I love you, I love you." They hugged her back and said, "We love you too, Lily. We love you too." +Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big box and some crayons. They wanted to make a house for their toys. + +"Let's draw a door and some windows," Sara said. She used a blue crayon to make a square on the box. "And a zip to open and close it." + +Ben nodded. He used a red crayon to draw a line on the square. "This is the zip. Now we can go inside and out." He made a hole in the box with his scissors. + +They put their toys inside the box and pretended it was their home. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming from the other side of the yard. They ran to see what it was. + +It was their dad's grill. He had left it on after cooking some burgers. The fire was too big and it burned the grass and the fence. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben cried. They were scared. + +Their dad heard them and came outside.

Sara saw a pastry shop near the park. She wanted to eat a pastry, but she had no money. + +"Can you lend me some money, Ben?" Sara asked. "I want to buy a pastry. They look so yummy." + +Ben had some money, but he wanted to save it for a toy. He did not want to lend it to Sara. But he did not want to say no, either. He was afraid Sara would be angry. + +"Okay, I will lend you some money," Ben said. "But you have to pay me back later." + +Sara was happy. She took the money from Ben and ran to the pastry shop.

She had no money left. She had spent it all on the pastry. She felt guilty. She knew she had been selfish. She had not been a good friend. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. "I don't have any money left. I spent it all on the pastry. I was greedy. I should have shared it with you." + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw that she was sorry. He felt sorry, too. He had not been a good friend, either. He had been stingy. He should have been generous. + +"It's okay, Sara," Ben said. "I forgive you. You don't have to pay me back. I should have given you some money. I was mean. I should have been kind." + +Sara and Ben hugged. They were friends again. They decided to play together in the park. They shared their toys and their snacks. They had fun. They learned to be good friends. +Lila loved to sing songs. She sang when she woke up, when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed.

She forgot to be kind and compassionate. She shouted back at the boy, "You are ugly and stupid. You have no friends. You are a bad boy." She grabbed his ball and threw it away. Then she ran back to her mama. + +The boy started to cry. He ran after his ball, but he could not find it. He had no other toys and no other friends. He felt lonely and sad. + +Lila's mama saw what happened. She was very disappointed and sad. She took Lila by the hand and said, "Lila, what did you do? Why did you forget your song and your manners? Why did you hurt that boy? He did not deserve that. You should have been compassionate and friendly. You should have tried to understand him and help him. Maybe he was having a bad day or a hard time. Maybe he needed a friend and a song. You could have made him happy, but instead you made him sad. You did a bad thing, Lila. You should be sorry and say sorry." + +Lila realized her mistake. She felt ashamed and sorry. She wanted to say sorry to the boy, but he was gone. She could not find him or his ball. She could not make him happy. She could only cry and hug her mama. She said, "I'm sorry, mama. I'm sorry, boy. I forgot my song. I forgot to be compassionate. I will never forget again. I will always be kind and compassionate. I will always sing my song." + +The moral of the story is: Don't forget to be kind and compassionate to everyone, even if they are different or mean. You never know what they are going through or how you can help them. Remember your song and your manners. They can make you and others happy. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy ship. They pretend it is a big ship that can go to far places. They have a captain hat and a spyglass. They also have a water gun that can shoot water. + +One day, they take their ship to the park. They find a big pond with ducks and fish. They put their ship in the water and sail it around. They use their spyglass to look for treasure. They see a shiny coin on the other side of the pond. + +"Look, Mia, a treasure!" Ben says. "Let's go get it!" + +"Okay, Ben, but be careful. There are ducks and fish. They might be hungry and bite our ship," Mia says. + +They sail their ship towards the coin. But a big duck sees them and swims after them. It quacks loudly and flaps its wings. It wants the coin too. + +"Uh-oh, a duck!" Ben says. "It is angry and hungry. It will take our treasure and our ship!" + +"What do we do, Ben?" Mia says. + +Ben has an idea. He grabs his water gun and aims at the duck. He shoots water at the duck's face. The duck is surprised and stops. It shakes its head and swims away. + +"Yay, we did it!" Ben says. "We scared the duck away. Now we can get the treasure." + +They sail their ship to the coin and pick it up. They are happy and proud. They have a new treasure for their ship. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper. They liked to cut, fold and draw on it. They made paper hats, paper planes and paper animals. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw that her paper cat was gone. She looked around and could not find it. She felt anxious. She asked Ben, "Where is my paper cat? Did you take it?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not take it. He said, "Maybe it flew away. Maybe the wind took it. Maybe it disappeared." + +Lily did not like that. She wanted her paper cat back. She said, "No, it did not fly away. It did not have wings. No, the wind did not take it. The window was closed. No, it did not disappear. Paper cannot disappear." + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. He said, "Maybe it is hiding. Maybe it is under the sofa. Maybe it is behind the curtain. Maybe it is in the box. Let's look for it." + +Lily liked that. She wanted to find her paper cat. She said, "Yes, let's look for it. Maybe it is hiding. Maybe it is playing a game with us." + +They looked under the sofa, behind the curtain and in the box. They did not find the paper cat. They felt sad. + +But then, they heard a meow. They turned around and saw their real cat, Fluffy. Fluffy had something in her mouth. It was Lily's paper cat. She had taken it and played with it. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They said, "Fluffy, you naughty cat. You took my paper cat. You made it disappear." + +Fluffy dropped the paper cat and looked at them. She did not seem sorry. She purred and rubbed her head against them. She wanted to play with them. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They forgave Fluffy. They said, "It's okay, Fluffy. We love you. You can play with us. But please, don't take our paper things again." + +They picked up the paper cat and hugged Fluffy.

One day, they decided to pretend that the bath was the sea and they were going to a port. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they pushed their boat in the water. They made waves with their hands and blew air to make wind. The boat moved fast and they laughed. + +"Look, there is the port!" Ben pointed to a pile of blocks on the edge of the bath. "We have to get there before the sun goes down." + +"Why?" Lily asked. + +"Because it is icy at night and the sea will freeze," Ben said. He had learned that from a book. + +"Oh no, we have to hurry!" Lily said. They splashed more water and made more wind. The boat was almost at the port. + +But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Time to get out, kids. The water is getting cold and you have to dry off," she said. + +"Aw, mom, we are almost there!" Ben said. + +"Sorry, but you can play again tomorrow. Come on, let me wrap you in a towel," she said. + +Lily and Ben got out of the bath and looked at their boat. It was still a little bit away from the port. + +"Who won the race?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was a tie," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to have fun and to have each other. +Lily liked to swim in the pool. She had a pink swimsuit and a pink floaty. She felt happy in the water. + +But one day, a big boy came to the pool. He had an old swimsuit and an old floaty. He looked mean. He said, "This is my pool. Go away, little girl." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to go away. She liked the pool. She said, "No, this is not your pool. This is everyone's pool. You have to share." + +The big boy did not like that. He splashed water at Lily. He tried to take her pink floaty. He said, "Give me that. You have a baby floaty. I have a big floaty." + +Lily was angry. She did not want to give him her pink floaty. She liked her pink floaty. She said, "No, this is my floaty. You have an old floaty. I have a new floaty." + +The big boy and Lily fought over the pink floaty. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They made a lot of noise. + +Then, a grown-up came to the pool. He had a whistle and a hat. He was the lifeguard. He said, "Stop that. You are not being nice. You have to play nicely or leave the pool." + +The big boy and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the lifeguard. They felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry, lifeguard. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, big boy." + +The lifeguard said, "It's okay. But you have to share the pool and the floaties. There is enough for everyone. Can you do that?" + +The big boy and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, we can do that." + +The lifeguard smiled. He said, "Good. Now, have fun and be safe." + +The big boy and Lily said, "Thank you, lifeguard." + +They swam in the pool. They shared the pink floaty and the old floaty. They became friends. They felt happy in the water. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a shiny thing in the bathroom. It was a razor that their dad used to shave his beard. They did not know what it was, but they thought it looked fun. + +"Let's pretend it's a sword," Tom said. He took the razor and waved it in the air. "I'm a knight and you're a dragon. Roar!" + +Lily roared and chased Tom around the bathroom. They laughed and had a good time. But then, Tom tripped and fell on the floor. The razor cut his hand and it hurt a lot.

She ran to get their mom, who was in the kitchen. + +"Mom, mom, come quick! Tom hurt himself with the razor!" Lily shouted. + +Mom heard Lily and ran to the bathroom.

It was shiny and red, and it had four wheels and a horn. Tom's dad said it was his secret, and he never let anyone drive it. + +"Can we play with it?" Anna asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Dad will be angry if he sees us," Tom said. + +"But it looks so fun. And we can be quiet. Please, Tom, please," Anna begged. + +Tom looked around. His dad was not home, and his mom was busy in the kitchen. He thought for a moment, and then nodded. + +"Okay, but only for a little while. And we have to be careful," he said. + +They climbed into the toy car and put on the seat belts. Tom pressed a button, and the car made a loud noise. It was a real car, not a toy. Tom's dad was very wealthy, and he had bought it for himself, but he never used it. + +"Wow, this is amazing," Anna said. + +"Shh, don't talk too loud. Someone might hear us," Tom said. + +He turned the wheel, and the car moved forward. He drove it out of the garage and onto the street. He felt very happy and proud. He and Anna were having a great adventure. + +But they did not see the big truck that was coming from the other side. It was too fast and too big. It honked its horn, but it was too late. It hit the car with a loud crash, and the car flew into the air. Tom and Anna screamed, and then everything went black. +Lily was very happy. She had a new friend at school. His name was Ben. He liked to play with cars and blocks. Lily liked to play with dolls and books. They had fun together. + +One day, Lily asked Ben, "Do you want to come to my house? I can invite you for a snack and we can play more." Ben said yes. He was excited. He had never been to Lily's house before. + +Lily's mom came to pick them up from school. She drove them to Lily's house. She gave them some juice and cookies. She said they could play in Lily's room, but not to make a mess. + +Lily and Ben went to Lily's room. They saw a lot of toys. They decided to play with the train set. They made a big track on the floor. They put the train on the track and pushed a button. The train started to move. It made a loud noise. It was incredible. + +But then, something bad happened. The train went too fast. It crashed into a wall. It broke a pipe. Water started to come out of the pipe. It made a big leak. The water went everywhere. It wet the floor, the toys, the bed, and the clothes. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran out of the room. They called Lily's mom. She came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She turned off the water. She called a plumber. She said Lily and Ben had to help her clean up. + +Lily and Ben were sorry. They said they did not mean to break the pipe. They said they were just playing with the train. They said they were sorry for the leak. They helped Lily's mom dry the floor, the toys, the bed, and the clothes. + +Lily's mom was not mad anymore. She said accidents happen. She said they had to be careful next time. She said they could still play, but not with the train. She gave them a hug. She said they were still friends. + +Lily and Ben were glad. They said thank you. They said they were still friends too. They decided to play with something else. They had fun together. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with their mom. Mom is a good cook. She makes yummy food for them. + +One day, mom says, "I have to go to the store. You two stay here and be good. Do not touch the stove or the oven. They are hot and dangerous." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will be good." + +Mom leaves. Anna and Ben look at each other. They are bored. They want to play. + +Ben says, "Let's pretend we are cooks. We can make a huge cake." + +Anna says, "Yes, let's do that. We can use the flour and the eggs and the milk." + +They go to the pantry and take out the ingredients. They put them in a big bowl. They stir and stir. They make a big mess. + +They say, "This is fun. We are good cooks." + +They pour the batter into a cake pan. They put it in the oven. They turn the knob. + +Ben says, "We have to cook it fast. Let's use the speed button." + +Anna says, "Yes, let's do that. The speed button makes it cook faster." + +They press the speed button. The oven makes a loud noise. It gets very hot. + +They say, "Wow, look at our cake. It is huge. It is rising and rising." + +The cake gets too big. It pushes the oven door open. It spills out. It fills the kitchen. + +They say, "Uh-oh. This is bad. Mom will be mad." + +They hear the door. Mom is back. She sees the cake and the mess. + +She says, "What have you done? This is not how you cook. This is how you make a disaster." + +Anna and Ben say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a huge cake for you. We used the speed button." + +Mom says, "The speed button is not for cakes. It is for cleaning the oven. You made a huge mistake." + +She hugs them. She says, "I love you, but you have to listen to me. Cooking is not a game. It is a skill. You have to be careful and follow the rules." + +Anna and Ben say, "We love you, too, mom. We will listen to you. We will not touch the stove or the oven again." + +Mom says, "That's good. Now let's clean up this mess. And then we can have some cookies. I bought them at the store. They are yummy and safe." +Tom likes to watch the birds in the park. He sees big birds and small birds, red birds and blue birds, loud birds and quiet birds. He wants to touch a bird and make a new friend. + +One day, he sees a small bird on the grass. It is brown and yellow and has a long tail. It looks calm and happy. Tom runs to the bird and tries to catch it. The bird is scared and tries to fly away, but Tom is fast and grabs it with his hand. + +Tom holds the bird and shakes it. He thinks the bird likes to play. He says, "Hello, bird! Do you want to be my friend?" The bird does not say anything. It makes a sad noise and stops moving. Tom shakes it harder. He says, "Why are you so quiet, bird? Talk to me!" + +But the bird does not talk. The bird is not calm and happy. The bird is hurt and afraid. The bird is dead. Tom does not know what he did. He drops the bird and starts to cry. He does not have a new friend. He has a dead bird. He is very sorry and very sad. +Tom and Anna were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used the sofa as a ship and the curtain as a sail. They had a lot of fun. + +But then Anna saw a shiny toy car on the shelf. She wanted to play with it. She climbed up and took it. She said, "This is my car. I found it. It is very fast and pretty." + +Tom was angry. He said, "No, that is not your car. That is my car. Mommy gave it to me for my birthday. You are selfish. You have to share." + +Anna did not want to share. She said, "No, it is mine. Go away. You have the curtain. You can play with that." + +Tom tried to take the car from Anna. They pulled and pushed. They shouted and cried. Anna slapped Tom on the face. Tom slapped Anna on the arm. They hurt each other. + +Mommy heard the noise. She came to the living room. She saw Tom and Anna fighting. She was very upset. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are being naughty and mean. You have to say sorry and hug. You have to play nicely and share. The car and the curtain are for both of you. If you can't share, you can't play with anything." + +Tom and Anna felt ashamed. They said sorry and hugged. They gave the car and the curtain to Mommy. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We will share and play nicely. We love you." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "I love you too. Now, let's have a snack and read a story. Then you can play again, but with kindness and respect." +Mira and Ravi were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big lemon tree with many yellow fruits. They wanted to pick some lemons to make lemonade. + +"Let's get some lemons, Ravi!" Mira said. + +"OK, Mira, but be careful. The tree is very high and the lemons are sour." Ravi said. + +They found a ladder and climbed up the tree. They reached for the lemons, but they were too far. They stretched their arms, but they could not touch them. + +"Ravi, I want a lemon!" Mira cried. + +"Me too, Mira, but they are too high. Maybe we should ask for help." Ravi said. + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They felt sad and stuck. + +"Who can help us, Ravi?" Mira asked. + +"Maybe we can pray, Mira. Pray is when we talk to God and ask him for something good. God loves us and listens to us." Ravi said. + +"OK, Ravi, let's pray. God, please help us get some lemons. We want to make lemonade and share it with our friends. Thank you, God." Mira said. + +They closed their eyes and prayed. Suddenly, they heard a voice. + +"Hello, children. Do you need some help?" The voice said. + +They opened their eyes and saw a kind man standing by the tree. He had a basket full of lemons. + +"Yes, please, sir. We want some lemons, but we can't reach them." Ravi said. + +"Here you go, children. Take as many as you want. I have plenty of lemons. I am the owner of this tree. I saw you praying and I decided to help you." The man said. + +He gave them some lemons and helped them down the ladder. + +"Thank you, sir. You are very nice. We prayed to God and he sent you to us." Mira said. + +"You are very welcome, children. You are very good. You prayed to God and he heard you. He always hears us when we pray. He also likes it when we share with others. You can make lemonade and share it with your friends. That will make them happy and God happy too." The man said. + +Mira and Ravi smiled and thanked the man again. They ran back to their home with the lemons. They made lemonade and shared it with their friends. They all enjoyed the warm and sweet drink. They learned that praying to God is good and that sharing with others is good too. They were happy and grateful. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their mom's computer. They knew they were not allowed to touch it when mom was not home, but they were curious and bored. One day, when mom went to the store, they sneaked into her office and turned on the computer. + +"Look, Ben, there are so many pictures and words on the screen!" Lily whispered, pointing at the icons and folders. + +"Let's click on them and see what happens!" Ben whispered back, moving the mouse and clicking randomly. + +They opened many windows and programs, some with music and sounds, some with games and videos, some with letters and numbers. They were having fun, but they did not notice that they were making a lot of noise and messing up the computer. + +Suddenly, they heard the door slam and mom's footsteps. They panicked and tried to close everything, but it was too late. Mom walked into the office and saw the chaos on the screen and on the desk. + +"What are you doing with my computer?" mom asked in a harsh voice, making Lily and Ben tremble. + +"We were just playing, mom, we're sorry!" they said in a small voice, looking down. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was angry, but she also loved her twins. She knew they were curious and did not mean to harm the computer. She decided to teach them a lesson, but also to be gentle. + +"You know you are not supposed to touch my computer without my permission, right?" she said, sitting down and pulling them close. "The computer is very important for my work and it can break easily if you don't know how to use it. You could also see things that are not good for you or get into trouble with strangers. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded, feeling sorry and scared. They hugged mom and said they were sorry again. + +"It's okay, I forgive you, but you have to promise me you will never do it again, okay?" mom said, kissing their heads. "And you have to help me fix the computer and clean the office. And then we can play a game together, but only with my supervision. Deal?" + +Lily and Ben agreed, feeling relieved and happy. They learned their lesson and also learned more about the computer and how to use it safely. They loved their mom and thanked her for being kind and patient. They also whispered to each other that they would never touch the computer again without mom's permission. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would miss the ball and it would roll away. Then they would have to find it and bring it back. + +One time, the ball rolled into a dark corner of the park, where there were many trees and bushes. Anna and Ben ran after it, but they could not see it. They heard a strange noise, like a growl. They looked around and noticed a big dog. The dog was old and dirty. It had long teeth and angry eyes. It was guarding the ball. + +Anna and Ben were frightened. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to go near the dog. They did not know what to do. They wished their mom or dad were there to help them. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "That is our ball!" + +The dog barked louder and showed its teeth. It did not want to share the ball. It thought the ball was its toy. + +Anna had an idea. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and threw it far away. The dog saw the stick and ran after it. It liked to chase sticks. + +"Quick, Ben, get the ball!" Anna said. + +Ben ran to the corner and grabbed the ball. He ran back to Anna. They were happy. They had their ball back. + +They ran away from the dog and the dark corner. They found a sunny spot in the park. They played with their ball again. They were careful not to lose it. They did not want to meet the old dog again. +Ben and Mia like to play in the pool. They have a big ball and a small duck. They throw the ball and catch it. They make the duck swim and quack. They are happy and laugh. + +But then they see a man with a big bag. He walks to the pool and dumps the bag in the water. The bag has many bad things: cans, bottles, papers, and more. They make the water dirty and smelly. They hurt the duck and the ball. Ben and Mia are sad and angry. + +"Hey, you!" Ben shouts. "Why do you do that? Why do you put waste in the pool? That is not good. That is not nice." + +The man does not care. He says, "I don't care. This is my waste. I can do what I want. Go away, you little kids. You are annoying." + +Ben and Mia do not go away. They are brave and smart. They have a plan. They dive in the water and grab the waste. They swim to the edge and throw the waste out. They do it again and again. They make the pool clean and clear. They save the duck and the ball. They are happy and proud. + +The man is surprised and scared. He sees Ben and Mia. He sees the waste. He sees the people who watch. They are angry and shout. They say, "Shame on you! You are bad. You are rude. You should not put waste in the pool. You should be sorry." + +The man is sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I will not do it again. Please forgive me." + +Ben and Mia are kind and reliable. They say, "We forgive you. But you have to learn. You have to be good. You have to respect the pool and the animals and the people. You have to help us keep the pool clean and safe." + +The man agrees. He says, "I agree. I will help you. I will be good. I will respect the pool and the animals and the people. I will keep the pool clean and safe." + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you. You are welcome. Come and play with us. We have a big ball and a small duck. They are fun and friendly." + +The man smiles. He says, "Thank you. I will come and play with you. I like your big ball and your small duck. They are fun and friendly." + +They all play in the pool. They have fun and learn. They are friends and happy. The end. +Jen and Ben are friends. They like to play and dance together. One day, they see a big red ball in the shop. Jen wants to buy the ball. She has some money in her pocket. + +"Can I buy the ball, please?" Jen asks the shop lady. + +"Yes, you can. It is five coins," the shop lady says. + +Jen gives the shop lady five coins and takes the ball. She is very happy. She runs to Ben and shows him the ball. + +"Look, Ben! I have a new ball! Do you want to play with me?" Jen says. + +Ben looks at the ball. He likes it too. He wants to have the ball. He does not have any money. He feels angry and jealous. + +"No, I don't want to play with you. You are selfish. You only think of yourself. You are not a loyal friend," Ben says. + +He snatches the ball from Jen and runs away. Jen is shocked and sad. She tries to chase Ben, but he is too fast. He runs to the park and kicks the ball hard. The ball flies high in the air and lands on a tree. Ben cannot reach the ball. He cries and screams. + +Jen reaches the park and sees Ben. She feels sorry for him. She tries to help him get the ball. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I wanted to share the ball with you. You are my friend. Can we play and dance together again?" Jen says. + +But Ben does not listen to Jen. He is still angry and stubborn. He pushes Jen away and runs to his home. He does not want to see Jen anymore. + +Jen is left alone in the park. She has no ball and no friend. She cries and cries. She wishes she never bought the ball. She wishes Ben was a loyal friend. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They had tickets in their hands. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the penguins. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. On the way, they sang songs and played games. They were very excited. They saw a big sign that said "ZOO" and a picture of a giraffe. + +"Look, look, we are here!" Anna shouted. + +"Yay, let's go!" Ben said. + +They got out of the car and ran to the gate. Mom and Dad followed them. They gave their tickets to a man who smiled and said "Welcome to the zoo! Have fun!" + +They entered the zoo and saw many animals. They saw elephants, zebras, and bears. They heard the roar of the lions and the chatter of the monkeys. They laughed at the penguins who slid on the ice. + +They walked around the zoo and enjoyed the sights and sounds. They stopped at a small house that had a sign that said "Petting Zoo". They saw some adorable animals that they could touch and feed. They saw rabbits, goats, and sheep. + +"Can we go in, please?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, let's go!" Mom said. + +They went in and picked up some food from a bucket. They walked to the animals and held out their hands. The animals came to them and ate the food. They felt their soft fur and their wet noses. They petted them gently and said "Hello, hello!" + +Anna saw a small lamb that was white and fluffy. She gave it some food and it licked her hand. She hugged it and said "You are so cute! I love you!" + +Ben saw a brown goat that had horns and a beard. He gave it some food and it nibbled his fingers. He rubbed its head and said "You are so funny! I like you!" + +They realized that they loved animals very much. They wanted to stay with them forever. They looked at Mom and Dad and said "Can we take them home, please?" + +Mom and Dad smiled and shook their heads. They said "No, sweeties, we can't take them home. They belong to the zoo. They have their own home here. But we can come back and visit them again, okay?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They said "Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you, animals. Goodbye, goodbye!" + +They waved to the animals and left the petting zoo. They continued their adventure at the zoo. They had a wonderful day. They learned a lot and had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the farm. The farm has many animals and plants. Tim likes the cows and Mia likes the chickens. + +One day, they see something new in the farm. It is a big field of wheat. The wheat is yellow and soft. Tim and Mia run to the wheat and touch it. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Tim says. + +"Yes, it is. And look, the sun makes it glow!" Mia says. + +They see the wheat shine in the light. It looks like gold. They feel happy and warm. + +They decide to make a game. They hide in the wheat and try to find each other. They giggle and shout. + +"Where are you, Tim?" Mia asks. + +"Here I am, Mia!" Tim answers. + +They run and hug. They have fun in the wheat. They are glad they found something new. They love the farm. +Mia and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. Mom said they could have some celery and cheese. She gave them a plate and a knife. The knife was sharp. Mom said, "Be careful with the knife. Only cut the cheese, not your fingers." + +Mia and Ben nodded. They took the plate and the knife to the table. Mia cut some cheese and put it on a piece of celery. She took a bite. It was crunchy and yummy. She said, "I like celery and cheese. It is good." + +Ben looked at the knife. He had a naughty idea. He said, "I want to cut something else. Something fun." He saw a teddy bear on the sofa. He ran to the sofa and grabbed the teddy bear. He brought it to the table. He said, "I will cut the teddy bear. He is soft and furry." + +Mia gasped. She said, "No, Ben! Don't cut the teddy bear. He is your friend. He will be sad and hurt. Mom will be angry. Put down the knife. It is not a toy." + +But Ben did not listen. He held the knife and tried to cut the teddy bear. The knife was too sharp. It slipped and cut Ben's hand. Ben cried. He dropped the knife and the teddy bear. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts. I'm sorry, teddy bear. I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Mom." + +Mom heard Ben's cry. She ran to the table. She saw the blood and the knife and the teddy bear. She said, "Oh, Ben. What did you do? You were very naughty. You could have hurt yourself or Mia or the teddy bear. You need a band-aid and a time-out. And you need to say sorry to the teddy bear and Mia and me." + +Mom cleaned Ben's hand and put a band-aid on it. She hugged him and said, "I love you, Ben. But you have to be careful and kind. Knives are not for playing. Teddy bears are not for cutting. Celery and cheese are for eating." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I love you, Mom. I'm sorry. I will be careful and kind. I will not play with knives. I will not cut teddy bears. I will eat celery and cheese." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Ben. Now go to your room and think about what you did. You can come out when you are ready to be nice." + +Ben went to his room. He felt sorry and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, teddy bear. I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Mom." He hugged his teddy bear and hoped he would forgive him. He hoped Mia and Mom would forgive him too. He learned his lesson. He did not want to be naughty again. He wanted to be good. +Tom and Lily liked to spin. They spun on the swings, they spun on the chairs, they spun on the floor. They spun until they felt dizzy and laughed. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big round thing that could spin. It had seats and a wheel. They wanted to try it. + +"Mom, can we spin on that?" they asked. + +"Sure, but only after we have our meal," mom said. "We brought some sandwiches and juice. Let's sit on the bench and eat." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were hungry. They ate their meal and drank their juice. They thanked mom and put their trash in the bin. + +"Can we spin now?" they asked. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful and hold on tight," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the big round thing. They found two seats next to each other. They buckled their belts and grabbed the wheel. They were ready to spin. + +The big round thing started to move. It went faster and faster.

She named her doll Anna and gave her a dress and a hat. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around the floor. He named his car Max and made it go fast and loud. + +Jill and Ben were having fun, but then Ben saw Anna and wanted to play with her. He grabbed the doll from Jill and ran away. Jill was very sad and angry. She chased after Ben and shouted, "Give me back my doll! She is mine!" + +Ben did not listen to Jill. He held the doll in his hands and looked at her. He saw her pretty dress and her hat. He also saw her face and her lip. He thought her lip was funny. It was red and shiny. He wanted to see what it was made of. He bit the lip with his teeth. + +Jill caught up with Ben and saw what he did. She screamed, "No! You broke my doll! You are bad!" She tried to take the doll from Ben, but he pulled it away. He did not care that he broke the doll. He wanted to keep it. + +But then something strange happened. The doll's lip was not only broken, it was also fragile. It was not made of cloth or plastic. It was made of magic. When Ben bit the lip, he made the magic go away. The doll started to vanish. First her lip, then her face, then her dress, then her hat, then her whole body. Jill and Ben watched in shock as the doll disappeared. They were left with nothing but air. + +Jill and Ben were both very sorry. They wished they could have the doll back. They wished they did not fight over her. They wished they were nice to each other. They hugged and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to share their toys and play together. They hoped the doll would come back someday. They missed her very much. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They had a big sail on each boat. They wanted to have a race to see whose boat was faster. + +"Let's prepare our boats for the race," Ben said. He checked his sail and made sure it was tight. He also looked for any holes or dirt on his boat. + +Lily did the same with her boat. She wanted to win the race. She saw a frog sitting on a rock near the pond. She thought the frog was nosy. She wondered what the frog was doing there. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Ben asked. He put his boat in the water and held a string to control it. + +"Yes, I'm ready, Ben," Lily said. She put her boat in the water and held another string. She looked at the frog and said, "You can watch, but don't touch our boats, frog. They are not for you." + +The frog did not say anything. It just blinked its eyes and croaked. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben shouted. He and Lily pulled their strings and made their boats sail across the pond. They watched their boats closely and cheered for them. + +The frog watched too. It was curious about the boats. It wanted to touch them. It jumped from the rock and landed on Ben's boat. It made the boat sink. + +"Hey, frog, you ruined my boat!" Ben cried. He was angry and sad. + +Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She stopped her boat and said, "Don't worry, Ben. We can share my boat. It's big enough for both of us." + +Ben smiled. He thanked Lily and joined her. They sailed together on Lily's boat. + +The frog felt bad. It did not mean to ruin Ben's boat. It hopped off the boat and swam back to the rock. It said, "I'm sorry, Ben and Lily. I was just nosy. Your boats are very nice." + +Ben and Lily heard the frog. They forgave the frog and invited it to play with them. They became friends and had fun in the pond. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys.

"It is mine!" + +They both want the furry toy. They pull and tug on it. The toy makes a sad sound. It is not happy. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice says. "That is my furry toy!" + +They look up and see a boy. He is crying. He has a blue hat and a green coat. + +"Please give me back my furry toy!" the boy says. "I lost it here.

Maybe it will share." + +They ran to the tree and shouted. "Squirrel, squirrel, come here! We want a nut!" + +The squirrel heard them and looked down. It saw two children. It was scared. It did not want to share its nut. It ran to another tree. + +"Come back, squirrel!" Lily and Ben said. "Please give us a nut!" + +But the squirrel did not come back. It hid in the leaves and ate its nut. It was very yummy. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They did not get a nut. They sat on the grass and pouted. + +"Maybe we can find another squirrel," Lily said. + +"Or maybe we can find something else to eat," Ben said. + +They got up and looked around. They saw a vendor selling ice cream. It looked yummy too. + +"Look, ice cream!" Lily said. "I want ice cream." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Let's go and buy some." + +They ran to the vendor and asked for ice cream. They got two cones, one chocolate and one vanilla. They licked their ice cream and smiled. + +"This is yummy," Lily said. + +"Yummy, yummy," Ben said. + +They forgot about the squirrel and the nut. They enjoyed their ice cream. It was a good day. +Tommy was playing with his cars in his room. He liked to imagine that they were racing on a big track. He made vroom-vroom noises and moved them around the floor. He was having fun. + +But then he heard a loud splash from the bathroom. He wondered what it was. He left his cars and went to see. He opened the door and saw his sister, Lily, in the bathtub. She had filled it with water and bubbles. She had also thrown in some of his cars. They were wet and soapy. + +"Hey, those are mine!" Tommy shouted. "Why did you take them?" + +Lily looked at him with big eyes. She looked guilty. She knew she had done something bad. + +"I'm sorry, Tommy," she said. "I wanted to play with them too. I imagined that they were boats. They looked fun." + +Tommy was angry. He liked his cars. He did not like them being wet and soapy. He wanted them back. + +"Give them back to me!" he said. "They are not boats. They are cars. You have to ask before you take them." + +Lily nodded. She reached for the cars and handed them to Tommy. She said sorry again. She hoped he would not be mad at her. + +Tommy took his cars and dried them with a towel. He was still angry, but he also felt sorry for Lily. She looked sad. He knew she just wanted to play. + +"Next time, ask me first," he said. "And maybe we can play together. But not in the bathroom. The bathroom is for washing, not for playing." + +Lily smiled. She said okay. She thanked him for being nice. She asked him if he wanted to join her in the bathtub. She said there was room for both of them. + +Tommy thought about it. He liked water and bubbles. He also liked his sister. He decided to join her. He put his cars away and got in the bathtub. He imagined that they were in a big pool. He splashed Lily and she splashed him back. They laughed and had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters with bows and arrows. They made arrows from sticks and feathers, and bows from string and branches. + +"Look, Lily, I see a big deer!" Ben said, pointing to a bush. "Let's catch it for dinner!" + +Lily nodded and followed Ben. They crept quietly, holding their bows and arrows. They were nervous, but excited. + +When they reached the bush, they saw that it was not a deer, but a dog. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. It licked Ben's face and made him laugh. + +"Hi, doggy!" Ben said, dropping his arrow. "You are not a deer, you are a friend!" + +Lily smiled and petted the dog. She saw a shiny thing on the dog's collar. It was a tag with a name and a phone number. + +"Look, Ben, this dog has a name. It says Max. And a phone number. Maybe he is lost. We should call his owner and help him." + +Ben agreed and picked up his arrow. He looked for his phone in his pocket. But he did not see the hole in the ground. He stepped on it and slipped. He fell down and hurt his knee. He cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said, holding his knee. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee. She was scared. + +"Don't worry, Ben, I'm here. You are brave. Let me see your knee. We need a band-aid." + +She took out a band-aid from her backpack and put it on Ben's knee. She kissed it and made him feel better. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are kind. And smart. You have a band-aid." + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily. Max licked them both and barked happily. He liked Lily and Ben. They were nice. + +Lily looked at her phone and dialed the number on Max's tag. She hoped his owner would answer. She wanted to help Max find his home. She also wanted to play with him more. He was fun. +Lily was going to school for the first time. She was a little scared, but her mom said it would be fine. She said she would make new friends and learn new things. She gave Lily a big hug and a kiss and said, "I love you, Lily. Have a good day at school." + +Lily got on the bus with her backpack and her lunch box. She looked for a seat, but all the seats had other kids in them. She felt alone and sad. She wished her mom was with her. She saw a boy with a red hat sitting by the window. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to sit with me?" + +Lily nodded and sat next to Max. He showed her his hat and said, "This is my favorite hat. My dad gave it to me. He said it makes me brave and smart. Do you have a favorite thing?" + +Lily opened her backpack and took out a teddy bear. She said, "This is my favorite thing. His name is Teddy. He is soft and cuddly. He makes me happy and safe. I always take him with me." + +Max and Lily became friends. They talked and laughed and shared their snacks. They played games and sang songs and listened to stories. They had fun at school. + +At the end of the day, Lily's mom came to pick her up. She saw Lily and Max holding hands and smiling. She said, "Hello, Lily. How was your day at school?" + +Lily ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "It was fine, Mom. I made a new friend. His name is Max. He has a red hat. He is brave and smart. He likes Teddy. Can he come to our house sometime?" + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "Of course he can, Lily. I'm glad you had a good day at school. I'm proud of you, Lily. You are brave and smart too. And you have a big heart." + +She wiped a tear from her eye and said, "I love you, Lily. Let's go home." +Ben and Mia liked to play with their cart. It was big and red and had four wheels. They could put their toys in it and pull it around the yard. Sometimes they pretended it was a train or a car or a boat. + +One day, they found a big ball in the cart. It was yellow and blue and had stars on it. Ben and Mia wondered who put it there. They took it out and tried to bounce it. It bounced very high and far. They laughed and chased it. + +"Look, it's a rocket!" Ben said, as the ball bounced over the fence. + +"Let's go get it!" Mia said, as they ran after it. + +They found the ball in the neighbor's yard. There was a boy there, who was playing with a truck. He saw Ben and Mia and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. This is my ball. I threw it over the fence by mistake. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is Mia. We like your ball. It's very bouncy. Can we play with you?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. You seem friendly. I like your cart. It's very big. Can we put my truck in it?" Sam asked. + +"Okay, we can. We like your truck. It's very cool. Can we bounce your ball with you?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, we can. We can share our toys and have fun. Come on, let's bounce the ball and pull the cart!" Sam said. + +Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They liked Sam. He was friendly and nice. They played with him and his ball and truck and cart. They bounced and pulled and laughed and had a good time. They made a new friend. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with different shapes and colors. Anna has a big red block and Ben has a small blue block. + +"Look, I can fit my block on top of yours!" Anna says. She puts her block on Ben's block and makes a tall tower. + +"That's cool!" Ben says. "But can you fit your block in this hole?" He points to a hole in the wall. It is an exit for the fire alarm. The hole is round and modern. + +Anna picks up her block and tries to fit it in the hole. But her block is too big and square. It does not fit. + +"No, it does not fit," Anna says. "It is too big and not round." + +"Let me try," Ben says. He takes his block and tries to fit it in the hole. His block is small and round. It fits perfectly. + +"Yay, it fits!" Ben says. He pushes his block in the hole and makes a beep sound. + +"Oh no, you made the alarm go off!" Anna says. She hears a loud noise and sees a red light. She is scared. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Ben says. He tries to pull his block out of the hole. But it is stuck. He cannot get it out. + +They hear footsteps and voices. Someone is coming. They look for another exit. They see a door and run to it. They open the door and go outside. They are safe. + +They see their teacher and some other kids. They are also outside. They are waiting for the fire truck. + +"What happened?" their teacher asks. She looks worried. + +"We were playing with blocks," Anna says. + +"And we found a hole," Ben says. + +"And we tried to fit our blocks in the hole," Anna says. + +"And I made the alarm go off," Ben says. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They did not mean to cause trouble. + +They hug their teacher and say, "We are sorry, teacher. We will not do it again." + +Their teacher smiles and says, "It's okay, kids. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, please be careful with the exit. It is not a toy. It is for emergencies only." + +They nod and say, "Okay, teacher. We understand." + +They wait for the fire truck and hope they can get Ben's block back. They still like to play with blocks. But they will not fit them in the hole anymore. They will find another way to have fun. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see some grapes on a vine. They are purple and shiny. + +"Look, grapes!" Lily says. "Can we pick them?" + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But we have to ask Mom first." + +They run to the house and find Mom in the kitchen. She is making dinner. + +"Mom, Mom, can we pick some grapes?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, you can pick some grapes," Mom says. "But be careful, they are not ready to eat. They are for making wine." + +"What is wine?" Ben asks. + +"Wine is a drink for grown-ups," Mom says. "It is made from grapes that are squished and left in a big jar for a long time. Then it is put in a bottle with a cork." + +"Can we see the wine?" Lily asks. + +"Okay, but only look, don't touch," Mom says. She takes them to the basement and shows them a shelf with many bottles of wine. Some are red, some are white, some are pink. + +"This is wine," Mom says. "See the cork? It keeps the wine inside. To drink the wine, you have to open the cork with a special tool." + +"How do you open it?" Ben asks. + +"Like this," Mom says. She takes a bottle and a tool. She puts the tool on the cork and twists it. The cork pops out with a loud sound. The wine is open. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Do you want to smell it?" Mom asks. + +They nod. Mom holds the bottle to their noses. They sniff. + +"It smells funny," Lily says. + +"It smells good," Ben says. + +"It smells different to everyone," Mom says. "But remember, wine is not for children. It is only for grown-ups who drink it carefully and sometimes. Now, let's go back to the kitchen and wash our hands. Dinner is almost ready." + +Lily and Ben follow Mom. They are happy. They learned something new. They picked some grapes. They saw some wine. They heard a cork pop. They smelled a funny smell. They had a fun day. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to church with their moms. They see a big room with many chairs and a big cross. They also see a small room with many toys and books. Their moms say they can play there while they listen to the pastor. + +Anna and Ben run to the small room. They see many other kids playing there. They see a big box of blocks. They both want to play with the blocks. They run to the box and grab some blocks. But there are not enough blocks for everyone. Anna and Ben start to fight over the blocks. They pull and push and yell. + +"Stop! Stop!" a lady says. She is the teacher of the small room. She has a kind face and a soft voice. She says, "We need to share the blocks. Sharing is good. God wants us to share and be kind to each other. Can you share the blocks with the other kids?" + +Anna and Ben look at the teacher. They look at the other kids. They look at the blocks. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, teacher. Sorry, kids. We will share the blocks." They put some blocks back in the box. They give some blocks to the other kids. They say, "Here, you can have some blocks. Do you want to play with us?" + +The other kids smile and nod. They say, "Yes, thank you. We want to play with you." They start to build a big tower with the blocks. They help each other and have fun. The teacher smiles and says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You are good friends. You are good sharers. God is happy with you." Anna and Ben smile and hug each other. They are happy too. They like to share. They like to play. They like to go to church. +Tim and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it. They also liked to look at the sky and see the clouds. Some clouds were white and fluffy, and some were gray and heavy. + +"Look, Lily, that cloud is very large!" Tim said, pointing at a big gray cloud. "It looks like a big elephant!" + +"I see it, Tim! It is a large cloud. But it is not a nice cloud. It is a rain cloud. It will make us wet!" Lily said, frowning. + +They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. The large cloud was angry and made a loud sound. Then they saw a bright light. It was lightning. The large cloud was also scary and made a bright flash. + +"Let's go inside, Tim! The large cloud is not friendly. It is mean!" Lily said, grabbing Tim's hand. + +They ran inside the house. Their mom was there. She was cleaning the floor with a mop. She saw Tim and Lily. They were scared and wet. + +"What happened, Tim and Lily? Why are you wet and scared?" Mom asked. + +"There was a large cloud, Mom. It was angry and scary. It made thunder and lightning. It made rain. It made us wet!" Tim said. + +Mom hugged Tim and Lily. She gave them a towel to dry themselves. She smiled at them. + +"Don't worry, Tim and Lily. The large cloud is not mean. It is just cleaning the sky. Sometimes the sky needs to be cleaned, just like the floor. The rain is like the mop. It washes away the dirt and dust. The thunder and lightning are like the soap and water. They make the sky shiny and bright. After the large cloud is done cleaning, the sky will be blue and clear. Then you can see the sun and the rainbow. And you can play outside again!" Mom said. + +Tim and Lily looked at Mom. They felt better. They understood what Mom said. They liked the idea of seeing the sun and the rainbow. They thanked Mom for the towel and the hug. They waited for the large cloud to finish cleaning the sky. They hoped it would be soon. They wanted to play outside again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find new things and make up stories. They saw a big hole under a tree. Lila wanted to look inside, but Ben was scared. + +"Maybe there is something in there," Ben said. "Something bad." + +"Don't be silly," Lila said. "It's just a hole. Maybe we can discover something cool. Come on, let's go." + +Lila crawled into the hole. Ben followed her, but he was not happy. It was dark and dirty and smelled weird. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"Hello?" Lila said. "Who's there?" + +A pair of yellow eyes blinked at them. It was a wolf. He was big and furry and had sharp teeth. He looked angry. + +"Go away!" the wolf said. "This is my home. You are not welcome here." + +Lila and Ben were very scared. They did not want to be eaten by the wolf. They turned around and ran out of the hole. They did not stop until they reached their house. + +"Mom, Dad, we saw a wolf!" they cried. "He was in a hole in the woods. He was very mean." + +Their parents hugged them and told them they were brave. They said they should not go into the woods alone. They said the wolf was probably just protecting his home. They said they should be careful and respectful of wild animals. + +Lila and Ben learned a lesson. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not want to meet the wolf again. He was too weird and scary. +Tom was a little boy who liked to climb. He climbed on chairs, on tables, on trees, and on walls. He did not listen to his mom and dad, who told him to be careful and not to climb too high. He thought he was brave and strong, and he wanted to have fun. + +One day, he saw a big sausage on the kitchen counter. It smelled good and looked tasty. He wanted to eat it, but it was too far for him to reach. He decided to climb on the stove, where there was a pot of boiling water. He did not know that the stove was hot and dangerous. He thought he could grab the sausage and run away. + +He climbed on the stove, but he slipped and fell. His hand touched the hot pot, and he screamed in pain. The boiling water spilled on him, and he got burned. He was fearful and hurt, and he cried for his mom and dad. They heard him and ran to the kitchen. They saw him on the floor, with the sausage next to him. They were angry and sad, and they took him to the doctor. + +The doctor gave him medicine and bandages, but he said Tom would have scars on his skin. Tom was sorry and ashamed, and he wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He learned that climbing was not always fun, and that he should be careful and obey the rules. He also learned that sausages were not worth getting hurt for, and that he should eat what his mom and dad gave him. He said sorry to them, and they hugged him and forgave him. But he still had to live with the consequences of his mistake. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. Today, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the slide!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, I'm coming!" Lily said. + +They climbed the stairs and reached the top. Ben went first and slid down fast. He laughed and shouted, "That was fun!" + +Lily looked down and saw how high the slide was. She felt scared. She did not want to slide down. She started to panic. + +"Help! Help! I don't want to slide down! Mommy!" Lily cried. + +Ben heard Lily and ran back to the stairs. He saw Lily crying and holding the rail. + +"Don't worry, Lily, I'm here. You can do it. It's not scary. It's normal. Just like going down a hill. I'll catch you. Trust me." Ben said. + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his kind face. She remembered that he was her best friend. She took a deep breath and let go of the rail. She slid down slowly and landed in Ben's arms. + +"Yay! You did it, Lily! You're brave!" Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. You're a good friend. You helped me." Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. Their moms came and praised them. They played some more and had a happy day. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we feel scared of new things, but we can overcome our fear with the help of our friends. Friends are there to support us and encourage us. We should trust our friends and be grateful for them. +Lily and Max were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It looked muddy and green and full of frogs and bugs. + +"Let's go there!" Max said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or a monster!" + +Lily nodded. She was curious too. They grabbed their boots and hats and ran to the swamp. They did not tell their mom or dad where they were going. + +The swamp was wet and sticky and smelly. Lily and Max splashed and jumped and laughed. They saw many strange things, like a big snake, a shiny rock and a broken boat. They did not see any treasure or monster, but they did not care. They were having too much fun. +
