She liked it. She thanked Ben and gave him a hug. + +They heard their mom calling them from downstairs. She said it was time for lunch. They were hungry and alert. They ran down the stairs, holding hands. They left the bathrobe and the towels in the bathroom. They would clean them up later. They were happy and hungry. They had fun playing hide and seek. +Anna likes to bathe in the big tub. She has many toys to play with in the water. She has a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. She makes them swim and splash and talk to each other. She likes to make bubbles with the soap and blow them in the air. + +After she bathes, she puts on her pink dress and her yellow shoes. She combs her hair and puts a bow on it. She looks very pretty and colorful. She wants to go outside and play in the sun. She asks her mom if she can go. + +Mom says yes, but she has to stay in the yard. She gives Anna a hat and a bottle of water. She tells Anna to be careful and have fun. Anna says thank you and runs outside. She sees many flowers and butterflies in the garden. She picks some flowers and makes a necklace for herself. + +She sees a bench under a big tree. She decides to sit on the bench and rest. She puts her bottle of water and her flower necklace on the bench. She looks at the sky and sees some clouds. She tries to guess what they look like. She sees a bunny, a star, a heart and a dragon. + +She hears a noise behind her. She turns around and sees a cat. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. It looks friendly and curious. It jumps on the bench and sniffs Anna's bottle of water and her flower necklace. Anna smiles and says hello to the cat. She pets the cat and the cat purrs. Anna thinks the cat is very soft and cute. She asks the cat if it wants to be her friend. The cat nods and rubs its head on Anna's hand. Anna is very happy. She has a new friend. She hugs the cat and the cat hugs her back. They sit on the bench and enjoy the sun. They are very happy. +Lily liked to help her dad at the stable. She loved the horses and their soft fur. She wanted to make them happy and shiny. She had a special brush to polish their coats. + +One day, she saw a new horse in the stable. It was big and black, with a white star on its forehead. Lily thought it was lovely. She wanted to polish it and make friends with it. + +She took her brush and walked up to the horse. She said hello and smiled. The horse looked at her and snorted. Lily reached out to touch its nose, but the horse moved away. Lily felt sad. She tried again, but the horse kicked at the wall. Lily was scared. She ran back to her dad. + +"Dad, dad, the new horse is mean!" she cried. "It doesn't want me to polish it or be nice to it!" + +Her dad hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The new horse is not mean, it is just shy. It came from a faraway place, and it doesn't know us yet. It needs some time to feel safe and comfortable. Maybe you can give it a carrot or an apple, and talk to it softly. Then it might let you polish it and be your friend." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She found a carrot and an apple in a basket. She walked slowly to the horse, holding the treats in her hand. She said, "Hello, lovely horse. I'm Lily. I want to be your friend. Do you want a carrot or an apple? They are yummy and good for you." + +The horse looked at her and sniffed. It saw the treats and stretched its neck. It took the carrot from her hand and crunched it. Lily smiled and stroked its nose. The horse nuzzled her and whinnied. Lily felt happy. She gave it the apple and said, "Can I polish you now? You have a beautiful coat, and I have a nice brush." + +The horse nodded and stood still. Lily took her brush and polished its coat. She made it shiny and smooth. The horse closed its eyes and enjoyed the brush. Lily sang a song and said, "You are a lovely horse, and I'm glad you are here. I hope you like the stable and the other horses. You are my new friend, and I will polish you every day." + +The horse opened its eyes and licked her cheek. Lily giggled and hugged its neck. They were both happy and content. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks on the floor. They are making a big tower with many colors. Lily likes the red blocks best. She wants to put them on top of the tower. But Ben also likes the red blocks. He takes one from Lily's hand. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily says. She tries to get the block back from Ben. But Ben holds it tight. He does not want to share. + +"Mine!" Ben says. He pinches Lily's arm. Lily feels a sharp pain. She cries out loud. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Lily says. She drops the other blocks. They fall on the floor and make a loud noise. The tower breaks into pieces. + +Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees Lily crying and Ben holding the red block. She sees the broken tower on the floor. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. She looks at Lily's arm. She sees a red mark where Ben pinched her. + +"Ben pinched me!" Lily says. She points at Ben. She is very angry and sad. + +"Ben, why did you pinch Lily?" Mom asks. She takes the red block from Ben. She gives it to Lily. + +"Sorry, Mom. I wanted the red block. I like red." Ben says. He looks down. He feels bad. + +"Ben, you know you have to share. Pinching is not nice. It hurts. How would you feel if Lily pinched you?" Mom says. She makes Ben look at her. + +"Bad. I don't like pinching." Ben says. He thinks for a moment. He looks at Lily. He sees her tears and her red arm. + +"Sorry, Lily. I won't pinch you again. Can we play together?" Ben says. He gives Lily a hug. He wants to be friends. + +Lily hugs Ben back. She feels better. She still likes the red block. But she likes Ben more. + +"Okay, Ben. We can play together. But you have to share. And no more pinching." Lily says. She smiles. + +Mom smiles too. She is happy that Lily and Ben are friends again. She helps them pick up the blocks from the floor. She helps them make a new tower. A bigger and better one. With many colors. And no pinching. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big mug on the table. It was full of brown water. Lily wanted to drink it. She thought it was hot chocolate. + +"Can I have some?" she asked Tom. + +"No, you can't. That's not hot chocolate. That's coffee. It's disgusting. It makes you sleepy and grumpy. Mommy and Daddy drink it in the morning. They don't like us to touch it." Tom said. + +"But I'm thirsty. And it smells good. Please, Tom, let me have some." Lily begged. + +Tom shook his head. He didn't want to share the mug. He wanted to drink it himself. He thought it would make him big and strong like Mommy and Daddy. He grabbed the mug and lifted it to his mouth. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Lily cried. She tried to pull the mug away from him. But it was too late. Tom had already taken a big sip. He felt a burning sensation in his tongue and throat. He spat out the coffee and screamed. It was very hot and bitter. He dropped the mug on the floor. It shattered into pieces. The coffee spilled everywhere. + +Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. They saw Tom crying and Lily staring in shock. They saw the broken mug and the coffee stain. They were very angry and worried. + +"What have you done? How could you be so naughty and foolish? You could have burned yourself or cut yourself. You know you're not supposed to touch the coffee. It's not for children. It's dangerous. Go to your room right now. You're in big trouble." Mommy scolded. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry and scared. They ran to their room and closed the door. They hugged each other and prayed. They prayed that Mommy and Daddy would forgive them and love them. They prayed that the coffee would not make them sick or sleepy. They prayed that they would never drink coffee again. They prayed that they would find something else to play with. Something that was not disgusting. +Lila and Ben were playing dress-up in their room. They found a big box of old clothes and hats and scarves. Lila liked a white veil that was soft and shiny. She put it on her head and pretended to be a princess. + +"Look at me, Ben! I am a princess with a veil!" she said. + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He found a red cape and a wooden sword. He put them on and pretended to be a knight. + +"I am a knight, Lila! I will protect you from the dragon!" he said. + +They ran around the room, making noises and having fun. They pretended that the bed was a castle and the rug was a forest. They hid behind the curtains and peeked out. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. + +"Time for lunch, kids! Come downstairs, I made you something delicious!" she said. + +Lila and Ben stopped playing and ran to the door. They were hungry and curious. + +"What did you make, mom?" Lila asked. + +"You'll see, it's a surprise!" mom said. + +They followed mom downstairs and saw a big plate of sandwiches and cookies on the table. They smelled yummy and looked tasty. + +"Wow, mom! This is delicious!" Ben said. + +"Thank you, mom! You are the best!" Lila said. + +They sat down and ate their lunch. They shared their sandwiches and cookies and told mom about their game. + +Mom listened and smiled. She was happy to see them having fun and using their imagination. + +She said, "I'm glad you enjoyed your game and your lunch. You are both very creative and sweet. Now, let's clean up and then you can play some more. But remember, don't close the veil too tight, or you won't be able to breathe!" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park in summer. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a twisty thing. The twisty thing is Lily's favorite. She likes to sit on it and spin fast. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. The park is very busy. There are many kids and dogs and bikes. Lily and Ben run to the twisty thing. But there is a problem. There is a big boy on the twisty thing. He does not want to share. + +"Hey, get off!" Lily says. "It's our turn!" + +"No, it's not!" the big boy says. "I was here first!" + +Lily and Ben are sad. They look at Mom. Mom smiles and says, "Why don't you try the slide or the swing? Maybe the big boy will get tired soon." + +Lily and Ben nod. They go to the slide. The slide is fun. They go up and down and laugh. They forget about the twisty thing. + +After a while, they hear a voice. It is the big boy. He is shouting, "Help! Help! I'm stuck!" + +Lily and Ben look at the twisty thing. The big boy is still on it. But he is not spinning. He is twisted. His legs are twisted. His arms are twisted. His face is red. + +Lily and Ben run to the twisty thing. They see a button. The button says, "Stop". They push the button. The twisty thing stops. The big boy is free. + +"Thank you! Thank you!" the big boy says. "I'm sorry I was mean. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Sure! Let's play!" + +They take turns on the twisty thing. They spin and twist and giggle. They make a new friend. Mom is happy. She says, "That's what summer is for. Having fun and being kind." +Tommy was very sleepy. He had played a lot with his scooter in the park. He liked his scooter. It was red and shiny and fast. He zoomed around the grass and the trees and the swings. He said hello to his friends and shared his scooter with them. + +But now it was time to go home. Tommy's mom called him and said, "Tommy, come on, we have to go. It's getting dark and you need to have dinner and a bath and go to bed." Tommy did not want to go. He wanted to play more with his scooter. He said, "No, mom, I'm not sleepy. I want to stay." + +Tommy's mom smiled and said, "I know, Tommy, but you are very sleepy. Look, you are yawning. Yawning means you are tired and need to rest. And your scooter is tired too. It needs to go to the garage and sleep. Tomorrow you can play with it again, OK?" + +Tommy yawned again. He felt his eyes getting heavy. He nodded and said, "OK, mom, I guess I'm sleepy. And my scooter is sleepy too. Can I give it a hug and a kiss?" Tommy's mom said, "Of course, Tommy, you can. You are very sweet and kind to your scooter. It loves you very much." + +Tommy hugged and kissed his scooter and said, "Good night, scooter. Thank you for playing with me. I love you very much." Then he put his scooter in the trunk of the car and climbed into his seat. He buckled his seat belt and leaned his head on the window. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Tommy's mom drove home and smiled. She was very proud of her sleepy son and his scooter. +Lily and Max wanted to decorate the big tree in the yard. They put on their coats and hats and ran outside with a box of shiny things. They had balls, stars, ribbons and lights. They were very excited. + +They tried to hang the shiny things on the tree, but it was too hard. The tree was too tall and the branches were too thick. They could not reach the top or the middle. They only could put some things on the low branches. They were frustrated. + +"Let's ask Mom for help," Lily said. "She can lift us up or use a ladder." + +"OK," Max said. "But we have to hurry. It will be dark soon." + +They ran back to the house with the box. They knocked on the door and called for Mom. But Mom did not answer. They looked through the window and saw Mom sleeping on the couch. She had a book on her chest and a blanket on her legs. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They had an idea. They smiled. + +They took the blanket and the book from Mom. They put the blanket on the ground under the tree. They put the book on the blanket. They climbed on the book and stood on their toes. They reached the higher branches and hung the shiny things. They made the tree look beautiful. + +They jumped down and admired their work. They were very happy. + +They ran to the house and woke up Mom. They took her hand and led her to the yard. They showed her the decorated tree. + +"Wow!" Mom said. "You did a great job! How did you do it?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other and giggled. They pointed at the book and the blanket. + +"We used your things," they said. + +Mom laughed and hugged them. She was not mad. She was proud. She said they were very clever and creative. She said they could keep the book and the blanket as a reward. + +They thanked Mom and cuddled with her under the blanket. They watched the lights sparkle on the tree. They were very happy. +Lily likes to play with water. She has a big tub of water in the bathroom. She also has a small cup and a big spoon. She likes to pour water from the cup to the spoon and back. She makes splashes and bubbles. + +One day, she sees a shiny thing on the wall. It is a mirror. She sees herself in the mirror. She sees her brown hair and blue eyes. She smiles and waves at the mirror. She thinks the mirror is her friend. + +She wants to show the mirror her water game. She takes the cup and the spoon and goes to the mirror. She pours some water on the spoon and holds it up to the mirror. She says, "Look, mirror, I have water. Do you want some?" + +But the mirror does not answer. The water drips from the spoon and falls on the floor. Lily pours more water on the spoon and tries again. She says, "Mirror, mirror, please talk to me. I want to play with you." + +But the mirror still does not answer. The water spills from the spoon and makes a big puddle on the floor. Lily pours all the water from the cup on the spoon and holds it up to the mirror. She says, "Mirror, mirror, please be my friend. I have no more water." + +But the mirror still does not answer. The water splashes from the spoon and hits the mirror. The mirror makes a loud noise. It cracks and breaks. Lily sees the mirror fall on the floor. She sees the pieces of the mirror. She sees her face in the pieces. She is scared and sad. + +She hears her mom come to the bathroom. She sees her mom's face in the door. She sees her mom's eyes get big and angry. She hears her mom's voice get loud and sharp. She says, "Lily, what have you done? You broke the mirror. You made a mess. You are in big trouble." + +Lily cries and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play with the mirror. I wanted the mirror to be my friend." +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon seller who had many colorful balloons. Lily and Tom wanted a balloon each, but they had no money. + +They saw a boy who had a shiny coin in his hand. He was going to buy a balloon, but he dropped his coin on the ground. Lily and Tom saw the coin and had an urge to take it. They thought the boy would not notice. + +They ran to the coin and picked it up. They felt happy and ran to the balloon seller. They gave him the coin and asked for two balloons. The balloon seller gave them two balloons, but they were not colorful. They were gray and had a sour smell. They were filled with gas that made a loud noise when they popped. + +Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They realized they had done a bad thing. They had taken the boy's coin and bought bad balloons. They felt sorry for the boy and for themselves. + +They decided to return the coin to the boy and say sorry. They ran to the boy, who was still looking for his coin. They gave him the coin and said sorry. The boy was happy and thanked them. He said he would share his balloon with them. He bought a big red balloon and gave them each a piece. The balloon was nice and had a sweet smell. + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that taking things that are not yours is wrong and makes you unhappy. They learned that being honest and kind is right and makes you happy. They hugged the boy and thanked him. They played with the balloon and had fun. They felt good and proud. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. Sometimes they saw birds and bugs and they were happy. + +One day, they found a big hole in the garden. They wondered what was inside. They decided to dig and see. They took their shovels and started to dig. They dug and dug and dug. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud scream. It was not a bird or a bug. It was a voice. A grumpy voice. It said: "Stop digging! You are hurting me!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their shovels and looked at the hole. They saw a face. A dirty face. A face that looked angry and sad. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I am Earth," the face said. "You are digging into my skin. It hurts. Please stop." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not know they were hurting Earth. They wanted to be kind. + +"We are sorry, Earth," Lily said. "We did not mean to hurt you. We were curious. We wanted to see what was inside." + +"There is nothing inside," Earth said. "Only rocks and dirt and worms. They are my friends. They help me grow flowers and trees. You can see them if you are gentle and careful. But do not dig too much. It makes me sad." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They put their shovels away. They said sorry to Earth again. They gave Earth a hug and a kiss. They said they would be gentle and careful from now on. + +Earth smiled. He felt better. He thanked Ben and Lily. He said they were good children. He said he would grow more flowers and trees for them to enjoy. He said he was happy. + +Ben and Lily smiled too. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect Earth and his friends. They learned to be kind and curious. They learned to be happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today it is cold and windy. Anna's mom gives her a jacket to wear. It is red and warm. Ben's mom gives him a jacket too. It is blue and soft. + +Anna and Ben run to the swings. They want to see who can swing higher. They push each other and laugh. But then Ben sees Anna's jacket. He says, "Your jacket is different. It is not like mine. It is ugly and bad." + +Anna feels sad and angry. She says, "No, your jacket is different. It is not like mine. It is silly and dumb." + +They stop swinging. They start to yell at each other. They say mean things. They do not want to be friends anymore. + +A big dog comes to the park. It is brown and furry. It likes to chase things. It sees Anna and Ben. It thinks they are fun. It runs to them and barks. It jumps on them and licks them. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not like the dog. They scream and cry. They hug each other. They forget about their jackets. They want their moms. + +Their moms hear them and come to help. They shoo the dog away. They hug Anna and Ben. They say, "It's okay. You are safe. We love you." + +Anna and Ben say sorry to each other. They say, "We are sorry. We were wrong. Your jacket is nice. You are my friend." + +They smile and hug. They go back to the swings. They play and have fun. They do not care about their jackets. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings, slide down the slide, and run around the grass. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very tired. + +"Can we have a lollipop, please?" Lily asked her mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Sure, sweetie, here you go," mom said, and gave them each a lollipop. Lily chose a pink one, and Ben chose a blue one. They licked their lollipops and smiled. + +"Thank you, mom, these are yummy!" Ben said. + +"You're welcome, honey, I'm glad you like them," mom said. + +Lily and Ben sat down on the bench next to mom. They finished their lollipops and threw the sticks in the trash. They felt happy and sleepy. + +"Can we go home now, mom?" Lily asked, yawning. + +"Of course, darling, let's go," mom said, and picked up their backpacks. She held their hands and walked with them to the car. + +Lily and Ben snuggled in their car seats and closed their eyes. They dreamed of jumping, sliding, running, and lollipops. They had a good day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They also liked to listen to the birds and the wind. They were happy and alert. + +"Look, Tom, the sun is going down," Lily said, pointing to the sky. "It is getting dark and cold. We should go home soon." + +Tom nodded. He saw the sun was orange and red, like a big ball of fire. He liked the sun, but he also liked the stars and the moon. He wanted to see them too. + +"Can we stay a little longer, Lily? Please?" he asked. "I want to see the night animals. Maybe we can hear an owl or a fox." + +Lily thought for a moment. She was curious about the night animals too, but she also knew they had to be careful. She remembered what their mom had told them: "Don't stay out too late, kids. The park is not safe at night. There are some bad people and dogs who might hurt you. Come home before it is dark." + +"OK, Tom, we can stay a little longer, but not too much. We have to listen to mom and be alert. If we hear or see anything strange, we have to run home. OK?" + +Tom agreed. He hugged Lily and said, "You are a good sister, Lily. I love you." + +They continued to play, but they also looked and listened around them. They saw some bats flying and heard some crickets chirping. They felt a little scared, but also excited. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark and a growl. They turned and saw a big, black dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It looked like it wanted to bite them. + +Lily and Tom screamed and ran. They dropped their toys and their jackets. They did not care. They only wanted to be safe. They ran as fast as they could, towards their home. + +They reached their door and knocked hard. Their mom opened and hugged them. She was worried and angry. + +"Where have you been, kids? Do you know how late it is? Do you know how dangerous it is to be in the park at night? What happened to you?" + +Lily and Tom told her everything. They told her about the sun, the stars, the night animals and the bad dog. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They said they would never stay out too late again. + +Their mom was relieved and glad. She kissed them and said, "I'm glad you are OK, kids. I love you. But you have to listen to me and be alert. The park is not a place to play at night. It is a place to play in the day, when the sun is up and bright. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "OK, mom. We love you too." + +They went to bed and slept well. They dreamed of the sun, the stars, the night animals and the bad dog. But they also dreamed of their mom, who kept them safe and warm. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Lily found a big shell that was red and shiny. She showed it to Ben. + +"Wow, that's a pretty shell!" Ben said. "Where did you find it?" + +"Over there, by the rocks," Lily said. "Do you want to see?" + +They ran to the rocks and looked for more shells. They found some that were white, some that were blue, and some that were yellow. But none of them were as red as Lily's shell. + +Lily wondered what was inside her shell. She imagined that it was a home for a tiny crab, or a pearl, or a treasure. She wanted to open it and see. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Are you sure?" Ben said. "Maybe we should leave it alone. It might be someone else's shell." + +"No, it's mine," Lily said. "I found it. I want to see what's inside." + +They tried to pry the shell open with their fingers, but it was too hard. They looked for a stick, but they couldn't find one. They decided to use a rock. They found a big rock that was heavy and sharp. They lifted it and smashed it on the shell. + +But the shell did not open. Instead, it made a loud noise. And then, something squirted out of the shell. It was water, but it was not clear. It was red. And it smelled bad. + +Lily and Ben screamed. They dropped the rock and the shell. They ran away from the rocks. They did not know what they had done. They did not know that they had broken a red sea urchin, and that its spines and ink had hurt them. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with shells. They learned to respect the creatures that live in them. And they learned to use their imagination, but not to be too curious. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob. + +"Bob is our friend," Lily said. "He likes the snow." + +Tom nodded. He saw a bird on a branch. The bird was hungry and cold. Tom wanted to help the bird. + +"Wait here, Bob," Tom said. "I will be back soon." + +Tom ran to the house. He took some bread and some meat from the kitchen. He put them in his pocket. He ran back to the snowman. + +"Look, Lily," Tom said. "I have food for the bird." + +Lily smiled. She saw the bird fly down to Tom's hand. The bird ate the bread and the meat. It chirped happily. + +"Thank you, Tom," the bird said. "You are very kind." + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know the bird could talk. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I am a magic bird," the bird said. "I can grant you one wish." + +Tom and Lily paused. They did not know what to wish for. + +"What do you want?" the bird asked. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They looked at Bob. They had an idea. + +"We wish Bob could come alive," they said together. + +The bird nodded. It sprinkled some icy dust on Bob. Bob blinked his eyes. He smiled. + +"Hello, Lily and Tom," Bob said. "I am happy to meet you." + +Lily and Tom hugged Bob. They were very happy. They thanked the bird. + +The bird flew away. It waved goodbye. + +"Have fun, Lily and Tom and Bob," the bird said. "And stay warm." + +The end. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build towers, bridges, houses and cars with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to have a contest. They wanted to see who could build the highest tower with their blocks. They asked their mom to be the judge. She gave them a measure to see how tall their towers were. + +"Ready, set, go!" mom said. Ben and Lily started to choose blocks and stack them on the floor. Ben chose blue and green blocks. He thought they looked nice together. Lily chose red and yellow blocks. She thought they were bright and fun. + +They worked hard and fast. They wanted to win the contest. They added more and more blocks to their towers. They tried to make them steady and strong. + +"Time's up!" mom said. She took the measure and looked at the towers. Ben's tower was 20 blocks high. Lily's tower was 21 blocks high. + +"Lily wins by one block!" mom said. "Good job, Lily! And good job, Ben! You both built amazing towers!" + +Ben was sad. He wanted to win the contest. He looked at his tower. He thought it was ordinary and boring. + +Lily saw that Ben was sad. She felt sorry for him. She liked his tower. She thought it was nice and cool. + +"Ben, do you want to share my blocks?" Lily asked. "We can make a new tower together. We can use all the colors and shapes. It will be the best tower ever!" + +Ben smiled. He liked Lily's idea. He liked her blocks. He thought they were bright and fun. + +"Okay, Lily, let's do that!" Ben said. "Thank you for sharing your blocks. You are a good sister!" + +They hugged each other. They took down their towers. They started to choose new blocks and build a new tower together. They had fun and they were happy. Mom watched them and smiled. She thought they were both amazing. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toy rockets. They liked to make them fly in the air and pretend they were going to the moon. They had two rockets, one red and one blue. + +"Can I have the red rocket?" Tom asked. "It is faster and stronger than the blue one." + +"No, it is mine," Lila said. "You can have the blue one. It is friendly and nice." + +"But I want the red one," Tom said. He tried to grab it from Lila, but she held it tight. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lila said. "You are being mean. You can't take my rocket." + +They started to fight over the rocket, pulling and pushing each other. They did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot liked to play with toys too. He saw the blue rocket on the ground and thought it was a bone. He ran over and picked it up with his mouth. + +"Hey, Spot, drop that!" Tom shouted. "That is my rocket. Give it back!" + +But Spot did not listen. He ran away with the rocket, wagging his tail. He thought it was a fun game. + +"Spot, come here!" Lila called. "You can't have our rocket. It is not a bone. It is a missile. It can go boom!" + +But Spot did not understand. He kept running and chewing the rocket. He did not know that it had a button that could make it fly. + +Suddenly, the rocket made a loud noise and flew out of Spot's mouth. It zoomed into the sky, leaving a trail of smoke behind. + +"Wow!" Tom and Lila said. They watched the rocket fly away. They forgot about their fight. + +"Where is it going?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Lila said. "Maybe to the moon." + +They hoped the rocket would find a friendly place to land. They felt sorry for Spot, who had lost his bone. They decided to replace it with a real one. They hugged Spot and gave him a treat. They learned to share their toys and play nicely. They did not want to lose their rockets again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had a big toy box full of fun things, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. One day, they decided to play soldiers and march around the house. + +"Left, right, left, right!" Tom shouted, holding a wooden stick as a gun. "We are brave soldiers, Lily!" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily agreed, following him with a plastic helmet on her head. "We can fight any bad guys!" + +They marched up and down the stairs, in and out of the rooms, and around the garden. They pretended to shoot at imaginary enemies and hide behind the sofa. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. + +But their mom did not forget. She was making lunch for them in the kitchen. She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. She poured some juice into two cups and called out to them. + +"Tom, Lily, lunch is ready! Come and get your juice and sandwiches!" + +Tom and Lily heard their mom and stopped playing. They were hungry and thirsty after their adventure. They ran to the kitchen, but they did not put away their toys. They left them scattered all over the house. + +They grabbed their juice and sandwiches and sat at the table. They thanked their mom and started to eat. They told her about their game and how they were brave soldiers. + +"That sounds like fun," their mom said, smiling. "But you know what else is fun? Cleaning up your toys. You don't want to trip over them or lose them, do you?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not like cleaning up. They liked playing more. They hoped their mom would forget about the toys. + +But their mom did not forget. She had a plan. She finished her lunch and said, "I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom and Lily nodded, curious. They loved surprises. They followed their mom to the living room. There, they saw a big pile of their toys on the floor. Their mom had gathered them all from the house. + +"Wow!" Tom said, his eyes wide. + +"Look at all our toys!" Lily said, excited. + +"Yes, look at them," their mom said, with a playful twinkle in her eye. "And now, let's play a new game. It's called 'March and Put Away'. You have to march around the pile and pick up one toy at a time. Then you have to march to the toy box and put it away. The one who puts away the most toys wins. Are you ready?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other again. They did not think this was a fun game. They thought it was a trick. But they did not want to upset their mom. They decided to play along. + +"OK, mom," Tom said, sighing. + +"Let's do it, mom," Lily said, frowning. + +"Good," their mom said, clapping her hands. "On your marks, get set, march!" +Tom and his dog Rex like to play in the park. Tom has a red cap that he wears every day. Rex is a loyal dog and he follows Tom everywhere. + +One day, Tom and Rex see a big pond in the park. Tom wants to throw a stick for Rex to fetch. He takes off his cap and puts it on the ground. He picks up a stick and says, "Rex, fetch!" + +He throws the stick into the pond. Rex runs after it and jumps into the water. He swims to the stick and grabs it with his mouth. He is a good dog. + +But while Rex is in the pond, a naughty bird sees Tom's cap. The bird likes shiny things. It flies down and picks up the cap with its beak. It flies away with the cap. + +Tom sees the bird and shouts, "Hey, that's my cap! Give it back!" He runs after the bird, but the bird is too fast. Tom is sad. He likes his cap. + +Rex hears Tom and sees the bird. He drops the stick and swims back to the shore. He shakes the water off his fur and barks at the bird. He wants to help Tom. + +The bird is scared of Rex. It drops the cap and flies away. Rex runs to the cap and picks it up with his mouth. He brings it to Tom and drops it at his feet. + +Tom is happy. He hugs Rex and says, "Thank you, Rex! You are a loyal dog and a good friend. I love you!" He puts his cap back on his head and smiles. + +Tom and Rex play some more in the park. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a penny. Lily picked it up and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, I found a penny!" she said. "It is so pretty and round. I want to keep it." + +Ben looked at the penny and shrugged. He did not think it was pretty or round. He thought it was small and dirty. + +"It is just a penny," he said. "It is not worth anything. You can have it. I don't want it." + +Lily felt sad. She liked the penny. She thought it was worth something. She did not understand why Ben did not like it. + +She put the penny in her pocket and said, "Thank you, Ben. I value this penny. It is a gift from you. I will not lose it or throw it away. I will take good care of it." + +Ben did not care. He ran away to play with his ball. He was careless with his ball. He kicked it too hard and it flew over the fence. He could not get it back. He cried and wished he had his ball. + +Lily saw Ben crying. She felt sorry for him. She took out the penny from her pocket and gave it to him. + +"Here, Ben. You can have this penny. Maybe it will make you happy. Maybe you can buy a new ball with it. I don't need it. I have you as a friend." + +Ben looked at the penny and smiled. He realized that Lily was right. The penny was worth something. It was a gift from her. He thanked her and hugged her. He learned to value the penny and his friend. He was not careless anymore. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. They have a big car that can fit all their toys and clothes. + +One day, they travel to a farm. They see cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. They also see a big red barn and a big green tractor. Sara and Tom want to play with the animals, but mom and dad say they have to be careful. + +"Animals are not toys, they are living things. They can be scared or hurt by strangers. You have to be gentle and quiet with them," mom says. + +Sara and Tom nod and follow mom and dad. They see a farmer who is busy milking a cow. He smiles and waves at them. + +"Hello, do you want to see how I make cream from the milk?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Tom say. + +The farmer takes them to a small room where he has a machine that separates the cream from the milk. He shows them how he pours the milk into a big tank and turns on a switch. The machine makes a loud noise and shakes. Sara and Tom watch as the cream comes out of a pipe and fills a bucket. + +"This is cream. It is very rich and tasty. You can use it to make butter, cheese, yogurt or ice cream," the farmer says. + +"Can we try some?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, why not? Here, have a spoonful each," the farmer says and gives them some cream. + +Sara and Tom taste the cream. It is smooth and sweet. They like it very much. + +"Mmm, this is yummy! Thank you, farmer!" Tom says. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to see more of the farm?" the farmer asks. + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Tom say. + +They follow the farmer to see more animals and plants. They have a lot of fun and learn a lot. They thank the farmer for his kindness and go back to their car. They are happy and tired. They fall asleep on the way home. They dream of cream and animals. +Tommy was lonely. He had no friends to play with. He only had his teddy bear, who was old and dirty. He wished he had someone to talk to and hug. + +One day, he saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a card on it. He ran to the box and opened it. Inside, he found a puppy! The puppy was brown and fluffy, and it licked Tommy's face. Tommy was so happy. He read the card. It said, "Happy birthday, Tommy! I hope you like your new friend. Love, Mom and Dad." + +Tommy hugged the puppy and named him Spot. He took him to his room and showed him his toys. They played with the ball, the blocks, and the train. They had so much fun. Tommy was not lonely anymore. He had a friend to celebrate his birthday with. + +"Spot, you are the best gift ever," Tommy said. "I love you so much. Do you love me too?" + +The puppy barked and wagged his tail. He snuggled with Tommy on the bed. They were both very happy. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was Mom and Dad. They came to wish Tommy a happy birthday and give him a cake. They saw Tommy and Spot on the bed and smiled. + +"Look, Mom and Dad, this is Spot. He is my new friend. He loves me and I love him," Tommy said. + +"We are so glad, Tommy. We love you too. Happy birthday, sweetie. Let's celebrate with some cake and candles," Mom said. + +They all went to the kitchen and sang happy birthday to Tommy. They gave him a big hug and a kiss. They cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy. Tommy blew out the candles and made a wish. He wished that he and Spot would always be together and never be lonely again. He was sure his wish would come true. He had the best birthday ever. +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a big bookcase with many books. Sara likes books. She wants to read one. + +"Ben, can I have a book?" Sara asks. + +"OK, but be careful. The bookcase is tall. You need a chair to reach the books," Ben says. + +Sara finds a chair and climbs on it. She looks at the books. She sees a red book. It has a picture of a dog on the cover. Sara likes dogs. She wants the red book. + +"Ben, look! A red book with a dog!" Sara says. + +She reaches for the red book. But the book is too far. Sara stretches her arm. She loses her balance. She falls off the chair. The chair falls too. The bookcase shakes. Some books fall down. Sara and Ben are scared. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" Sara and Ben cry. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the living room. They see Sara and Ben on the floor. They see the books and the chair. They see the bookcase. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"We wanted a book. But the bookcase is tall. And the red book is far. And we fell. And the books fell. And we are sorry," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad hug Sara and Ben. They are not angry. They are glad that Sara and Ben are not hurt. + +"It's OK. We are not mad. But you have to be careful. The bookcase is not a toy. The books are not for playing. They are for reading. And you have to ask us before you take a book. Do you understand?" Dad says. + +"Yes, we understand. We are sorry. Can we still read a book?" Sara and Ben ask. + +"Of course. But let us help you. We can pick a book for you. And we can read it with you. How about the red book with the dog?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please. We like the red book with the dog," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad pick up the red book. They sit on the couch with Sara and Ben. They open the book. They read the story of the dog. Sara and Ben listen. They smile. They like the story. They like the book. They like reading with Mom and Dad. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence of their backyard. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, we should not," Lily said. She was careful and scared. "Mom and Dad said we have to stay in the yard. There might be wild animals or bad people out there." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He encouraged her to follow him. "It will be fun. We can explore and find new things. Come on, don't be a baby." + +Lily did not want to make Tom angry. She loved her brother and wanted to play with him. She followed him through the hole in the fence. They walked into the woods. + +They saw many trees and flowers and birds. They also saw an elderly man sitting on a bench. He had a long beard and a hat. He smiled at them and waved. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Are you lost? Do you need help?" + +Tom and Lily did not know the man. They felt shy and nervous. They did not answer him. + +The man got up from the bench and walked towards them. He reached out his hand. "Don't be afraid. I have some candy and toys for you. Come with me. I will show you something amazing." + +Tom and Lily did not like the man. They felt something was wrong. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He grabbed them and put them in a big sack. He threw the sack over his shoulder and ran away. + +Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had stayed in the yard. They did not know what the man would do to them. They were in big trouble. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples to eat. + +"Look, Lily, the apples are so red and fat. They look yummy!" Tom says. + +"Yes, they do. But they are too high. How can we get them?" Lily asks. + +Tom has an idea. He finds a long stick. He tries to poke the apples with the stick. He hopes they will fall. + +"Be careful, Tom. The stick is not strong. It might break," Lily warns. + +But Tom does not listen. He pokes harder and harder. He wants the apples. Suddenly, the stick snaps. Tom loses his balance. He falls to the ground. He hurts his arm. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Tom cries. + +Lily runs to him. She sees his arm is red and swollen. She feels sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Lily asks. + +Tom sniffles. He is sad and in pain. He does not want the apples anymore. + +"No, I'm not okay. My arm hurts. I want to go home," Tom says. + +Lily helps him get up. She hugs him. She wants to make him feel better. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's go home. I will tell your mom what happened. She will make your arm better. Maybe she will give you some ice cream," Lily says. + +Tom nods. He likes ice cream. He hopes his arm will heal soon. He learns a lesson. He will not poke apples with a stick again. He will wait for them to grow and fall by themselves. +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play outside in the snow. They had a big yard with a snowman, a slide and a swing. They also had many warm clothes, like coats, hats, gloves and scarfs. Their mom and dad were wealthy and gave them many things. + +One day, Jill and Ben had a fight over a scarf. Jill wanted the red scarf, because it was her favorite color. Ben wanted the red scarf, because it was longer and warmer. They both pulled on the scarf, trying to take it from each other. + +"Give me the scarf, Jill!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine, Ben!" Jill yelled back. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the scarf ripped in half. Jill and Ben both fell on the ground, holding their pieces of the scarf. They looked at each other and started to cry. + +Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw the ripped scarf and the tears on their faces. She was angry and sad. + +"What did you do, Jill and Ben?" she asked. "Why did you break the scarf?" + +"Jill wanted it, but it was mine!" Ben said. + +"Ben wanted it, but it was mine!" Jill said. + +They both pointed at each other and blamed each other. Their mom shook her head and sighed. + +"That's not nice, Jill and Ben. You should share and be kind to each other. You have many scarfs, why did you fight over one?" she said. + +She picked up the pieces of the scarf and took them inside. She told Jill and Ben to stay outside and think about what they did. She said she would fix the scarf later, but they had to say sorry to each other first. + +Jill and Ben sat on the ground, feeling cold and sad. They looked at the snowman, the slide and the swing, but they did not want to play. They realized they had been silly and mean. They loved each other more than the scarf. + +They got up and hugged each other. They said sorry and forgave each other. They smiled and decided to play together. They put on their other scarfs and had fun in the snow. They learned their lesson and never fought over a scarf again. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a box of matches in the garage. They thought it would be fun to light them and watch them burn. + +"Let's go to the woods and start a fire," Ben said. + +"OK, but don't tell Mom and Dad," Sam said. + +They ran to the woods with the matches and some dry leaves. They made a small pile of leaves and lit a match. The leaves caught fire and made a bright flame. Ben and Sam laughed and clapped. + +"Look, it's so pretty," Ben said. + +"Let's make it bigger," Sam said. + +They added more leaves and sticks to the fire. The fire grew and spread. The smoke rose and the wind blew. The fire reached a tree and set it on fire. The tree crackled and popped. + +"Uh-oh, this is bad," Ben said. + +"Let's run away," Sam said. + +They dropped the matches and ran back to the garage. They hoped no one would see the fire. They hid in the garage and waited. + +Soon, they heard sirens and saw flashing lights. They looked out and saw fire trucks and firefighters. The firefighters sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They also saw Mom and Dad, who looked angry and scared. + +"What have you done?" Mom asked. + +"We're sorry, we were playing with matches," Ben said. + +"That was very dangerous and foolish," Dad said. "You could have hurt yourselves or others. You could have burned down the woods and the houses. You could have caused a lot of damage and trouble." + +Ben and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They saw the black ash and the charred tree. They realized how bad their fire was. + +"We're sorry, we won't do it again," Sam said. + +"You're lucky no one was hurt," Mom said. "But you still have to face the consequences. You have to apologize to the firefighters and the neighbors. You have to help clean up the mess. And you have to be grounded for a month." + +Ben and Sam nodded and cried. They wished they had never played with matches. They learned their lesson the hard way. + +The moral of the story is: Don't play with fire, it is dangerous and can cause harm. +Sara loved flowers. She liked to pick them from the garden and put them in a vase on the table. She liked to smell them and look at their colors. She was very happy when her mom gave her a new vase for her birthday. It was blue and shiny and had a pretty shape. + +One day, Sara wanted to show her vase to her friend Lily. She took it from the table and ran to the door. But she did not see the toy car on the floor. She tripped over it and fell down. The vase flew out of her hands and broke into pieces on the ground. Sara was very upset. She started to weep. + +Lily heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Sara crying and the broken vase. She felt sorry for her friend. She said, "Don't weep, Sara. It was an accident. I'm sure your mom will understand. Maybe we can fix the vase or get a new one." + +Sara looked at Lily and stopped weeping. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was not careful. I should have watched where I was going. I learned a lesson today. I will be more careful next time." + +Lily hugged Sara and said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad you feel better. Come on, let's go play with the flowers. They are still beautiful and they smell good." + +Sara smiled and nodded. She took Lily's hand and they went to the garden. They forgot about the broken vase and had fun with the flowers. They learned that things can break, but friendship can last. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big bench with a sign. The sign had a puzzle on it. It said, "Solve this puzzle and win a prize!" + +Ben and Lily wanted to win the prize. They looked at the puzzle. It had four pictures: a dog, a cat, a fish and a bird. Under each picture, there was a word. The words were: bark, meow, swim and fly. + +Ben and Lily tried to match the words with the pictures. They knew that dogs bark and cats meow. They pointed to the dog and said, "Bark!" They pointed to the cat and said, "Meow!" They were right. + +They looked at the fish and the bird. They thought hard. They remembered that fish swim in the water and birds fly in the sky. They pointed to the fish and said, "Swim!" They pointed to the bird and said, "Fly!" They were right again. + +They solved the puzzle. They were very happy. They heard a beep. A drawer opened under the bench. Inside the drawer, there were two cupcakes. One was chocolate and one was vanilla. They looked delicious. + +Ben and Lily took the cupcakes. They thanked the bench and the sign. They shared the cupcakes. They ate them and smiled. They were very yummy. Ben and Lily had a fun day in the park. They liked to solve puzzles and win prizes. +Tim and Lily 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 and make lemonade. + +"Let's get a basket and a ladder," Tim said. + +"OK, I will get them from the shed," Lily said. + +They got the basket and the ladder and put them under the lemon tree. Tim climbed the ladder and reached for a lemon. But he did not see a brown bee that was sitting on the lemon. The bee was angry and stung Tim on his hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cried and dropped the lemon. He fell off the ladder and landed on the basket. The basket broke and the lemons rolled away. + +Lily ran to Tim and saw his hand was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. Are you OK?" Lily asked. + +"It hurts, Lily. The bee was mean to me," Tim said. + +Lily took Tim to the house and asked their mom for some ice and honey. Mom put the ice on Tim's hand and gave him some honey to eat. She said the ice would make the pain go away and the honey would make him feel better. + +"Thank you, mom. You are very kind," Tim said. + +Mom smiled and kissed Tim on his cheek. She said, "You're welcome, Tim. I'm glad you're feeling better. But next time, be careful when you pick lemons. Some bees live on the lemon tree and they don't like to share their food. They will sting you if you bother them." + +Tim nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will not bother the bees again. I will be more gentle and respectful to them." + +Mom was proud of Tim and said, "That's a good boy, Tim. You learned a valuable lesson today. You should always respect the animals and plants that live in the garden. They are part of nature and they have feelings too." + +Lily agreed and said, "Yes, mom. We should be kind and grateful to nature. Nature gives us many good things, like lemons and honey." + +Mom hugged Tim and Lily and said, "That's right, my sweet children. You are very wise and thoughtful. I love you very much." + +Tim and Lily smiled and said, "We love you too, mom." + +They all went to the living room and watched a funny show on TV. They laughed and applauded and had a good time. They forgot about the bee and the lemons and the basket. They were happy and thankful for their family and their garden. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. Sometimes they race their cars on the floor. Tom has a red car and Sam has a blue car. + +One day, they have a big race. They make a track with books and pillows. They say ready, set, go and push their cars. Tom's car is very fast and strong. It zooms past Sam's car and reaches the end of the track first. Tom is happy. He shouts, "I win! I win!" + +Sam is sad. He does not like to lose. He says, "No fair! Your car is bigger than mine. Let's race again!" Tom says, "OK, but you have to remind me to switch cars. Then we can both have a chance to win." + +They switch cars and race again. This time, Sam's car is faster and stronger. It zooms past Tom's car and reaches the end of the track first. Sam is happy. He shouts, "I win! I win!" + +Tom is sad. He does not like to lose. He says, "No fair! Your car is faster than mine. Let's race again!" Sam says, "OK, but you have to remind me to switch cars. Then we can both have a chance to win." + +They switch cars and race again. And again. And again. They take turns to win and lose. They have fun. They forget to be sad or mad. They share their cars and their victory. They are strong brothers. They hug and smile. +Lily and Tom were happy to see their grandma. She came to visit them for a week. She had a big bag with her. She said she had some gifts for them. + +"Can we see the gifts, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, my dear. I have to unpack first. Why don't you help me?" Grandma said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They followed grandma to her room. They helped her take out her clothes and put them in the closet. Then they saw a small box at the bottom of the bag. + +"What is that, grandma?" Tom asked. + +"That is a special gift for you and Lily. It is a magic spell book. It has old spells that can do amazing things. But you have to be careful with it. Only use it when I am with you, okay?" Grandma said. + +Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see the book. Grandma opened the box and took out the book. It was old and dusty. It had strange symbols on the cover. + +"Wow, what are those?" Lily asked. + +"Those are the letters of the magic language. They are different from the letters we use. You have to learn them if you want to read the spells. Do you want to learn them?" Grandma asked. + +"Yes, yes, we do!" Lily and Tom said. + +"Okay, then. Let's start with the first one. It looks like a circle with a dot in the middle. It is called 'A'. Can you say 'A'?" Grandma said. + +"A!" Lily and Tom said. + +"Very good. Now let's see what spell we can do with 'A'. Look, here it says 'A makes things grow'. Do you want to try it?" Grandma said. + +"Yes, yes, we do!" Lily and Tom said. + +"Okay, then. Let's find something small to grow. How about this flower?" Grandma said. She picked up a flower from a vase and gave it to Lily. "Now, hold the flower in your hand and say 'A' three times." + +Lily did as grandma said. She held the flower and said "A, A, A". Then she gasped. The flower grew bigger and bigger in her hand. It was as big as her head. + +"Wow, it worked!" Lily said. + +"Amazing!" Tom said. + +"Isn't it? But remember, this is a secret. Don't tell anyone about the book. And don't use it without me. It can be dangerous. Do you understand?" Grandma said. + +"Yes, grandma. We understand. We promise." Lily and Tom said. + +"Good. Now, let's put the book back in the box and hide it under the bed. We will play with it later. But first, let's have some cookies and milk. I baked them for you." Grandma said. + +"Yay, cookies and milk!" Lily and Tom said. + +They hugged grandma and ran to the kitchen. They were happy to have such a wonderful grandma. And they couldn't wait to learn more spells. +Lily and Ben like to play in the hut. The hut is in the garden. It is made of wood and straw. It has a door and a window. Lily and Ben pretend it is their home. + +One day, they find a big chair in the hut. It is old and dirty. It has holes and stains. Lily and Ben think it is a treasure. They want to seat on it and read books. + +They push the chair to the window. They climb on it. They take their books. But the chair is not nice. It is hard and scratchy. It makes noises. It hurts their backs and legs. Lily and Ben are uncomfortable. + +They do not like the chair. They want to get off. But the chair is too high. They are scared. They call for help. They cry. + +Mum hears them. She comes to the hut. She sees the chair. She is angry. She says the chair is rubbish. She says it is dangerous. She says they should not play with it. She helps them down. She hugs them. She takes the chair away. + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry. Mum is not angry anymore. She says it is okay. She says they can play in the hut. But they have to be careful. They have to use their own seats. They have to ask before they touch things. + +Lily and Ben nod. They say yes. They take their own seats. They are small and soft. They are colorful and fun. They seat on them and read books. They are happy. They like their hut. They like their seats. They do not miss the chair. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a big smile. Anna liked to pretend that Lily was her sister and they did everything together. + +One day, Anna and Lily decided to have a tea party. Anna put a tablecloth on the floor and set out some cups and plates. She went to the kitchen and asked her mom for some cookies. Her mom gave her a package of cookies and said, "Here you go, sweetie. You can serve these to your dolls, but don't eat too many, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. Thank you!" Anna said. She took the package and ran back to the living room. She opened the package and put some cookies on each plate. She poured some water in the cups and said, "Lily, do you want some tea?" + +"Yes, please, Anna. You are a very good hostess," Lily said. Anna smiled and gave Lily a cup. She pretended to sip her own cup and said, "Lily, you are a very intelligent doll. You know so many things." + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a very intelligent girl. You know how to read and write and count," Lily said. Anna nodded and said, "I like to learn new things. Do you want to learn something new with me?" + +"Yes, Anna. What do you want to learn?" Lily asked. + +Anna thought for a moment and said, "I want to learn how to make a package. Do you know how to make a package?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, I don't. How do you make a package?" + +Anna said, "Let's find out. Come on, Lily. Let's go to the craft room and get some paper and tape and scissors. We can make a package for mom and surprise her." + +Lily agreed and said, "That sounds like fun. Let's go, Anna. You are a very creative girl." + +Anna and Lily got up and took their cookies with them. They went to the craft room and found some paper and tape and scissors. They had a lot of fun making a package for mom. They wrapped the paper around a box and taped it. They cut out some shapes and glued them on the paper. They wrote "To mom, from Anna and Lily" on the paper. They were very proud of their package. + +They took their package and went to the kitchen. They saw mom washing the dishes. They said, "Mom, mom, we have a surprise for you!" + +Mom turned around and saw them holding the package. She smiled and said, "Wow, what is this?" + +Anna and Lily said, "It's a package for you, mom. We made it ourselves. We want to say thank you for the cookies and for being the best mom ever." + +Mom hugged them and said, "Thank you, Anna and Lily. You are the sweetest and most intelligent girls ever. I love you so much." + +Anna and Lily said, "We love you too, mom." + +They gave mom the package and watched her open it. Inside the box, there were some cookies and a drawing of Anna and Lily. Mom was very happy and said, "This is the best package ever. Thank you, Anna and Lily. You made my day." + +Anna and Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, mom. We're glad you like it." + +They all ate some cookies and had a big group hug. They were a very happy family. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It was a gift from their grandma. They opened the box and found many shiny ornaments inside. They were round and colorful and had strings to hang them. + +"Wow, these are so pretty!" Sara said. "Let's play with them!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. They are not toys, they are for the tree," Ben said. + +They took out the ornaments and put them on the floor. They pretended they were balls and threw them to each other. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +Then, Sara saw a very special ornament. It was bigger than the others and had glitter and stars on it. It looked like a prize. + +"I want this one!" Sara said. "It is the best!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "It is mine!" + +They both reached for the ornament and pulled it hard. They started to fight and yell. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. "These ornaments are not for playing. They are for decorating the tree. And you should not fight over them. You should share and be nice." + +She took the ornament from their hands and put it back in the box. She picked up the other ornaments and checked if they were broken. Some of them were cracked and chipped. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Sara said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +They felt bad for making their mom angry and for ruining the ornaments. + +"It's OK, I forgive you. But you have to learn to respect other people's things and to appreciate what you have. You are very lucky to have a grandma who loves you and sends you gifts. Some children don't have that. Some children don't have anything. They are not rich like you." + +Sara and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They understood what their mom said. They hugged her and said they loved her. + +"Can we help you put the ornaments on the tree?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, you can. But only the ones that are not broken. And you have to be gentle and careful. And you have to take turns and cooperate. Can you do that?" + +"Yes, we can," Ben said. + +They followed their mom to the tree and helped her hang the ornaments. They admired how beautiful they looked. They saw the special ornament with the glitter and stars. It was on the top of the tree. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Sara said. + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. + +They smiled and agreed. They did not fight over it anymore. They realized that the ornament was not a prize to win, but a gift to share. And they were happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the big field near their house. They saw many things there: cows, birds, flowers, and a big old mill. The mill had a tall tower and a big wheel that turned with the water. Ben and Lily wanted to see inside the mill, but the door was locked. + +One day, they found a small hole in the wall of the mill. They crawled through the hole and saw a dark and dusty room. There were sacks of grain, barrels of flour, and a big machine with gears and belts. Ben and Lily were curious and touched everything. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. The machine started to move and the wheel outside began to spin. Ben and Lily were scared and tried to run back to the hole, but they were too late. The machine had a magic power: it could shrink things that touched it. Ben and Lily became very small, as small as ants. + +They looked around and saw that everything was huge and dangerous. The sacks of grain were like mountains, the barrels of flour were like lakes, and the machine was like a monster. They felt very uncomfortable and wanted to go home. + +They saw a mouse running across the floor. They thought maybe the mouse could help them. They shouted to the mouse, but the mouse did not hear them. The mouse was hungry and smelled the grain. It ran towards the sacks and knocked over one of them. The grain spilled out and buried Ben and Lily under a pile of seeds. + +They cried and hoped that someone would find them and make them big again. They wished they had never gone inside the mill. They learned a lesson: never touch things that you do not know. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play tricks on each other. One day, Tom had a surprise for Lily. He hid a bottle of sauce under his pillow and waited for Lily to come into his room. + +"Hi, Tom," Lily said, jumping on his bed. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Sure, Lily," Tom said, smiling. "But first, can you get me my teddy bear? It's under my pillow." + +Lily reached under the pillow and felt something wet and sticky. She pulled out the bottle of sauce and screamed. + +"Tom, you're so mean!" she said, throwing the bottle at him. "This is not funny, this is serious!" + +Tom dodged the bottle and laughed. "It's just a joke, Lily, don't be mad. It's only sauce, it won't hurt you." + +Lily was not amused. She ran out of the room, crying. Tom felt bad. He had gone too far with his surprise. He decided to say sorry to Lily and make it up to her. + +He went to the kitchen and found a cake that their mom had baked. He cut a slice and put it on a plate. He sprinkled some sugar on top and added a cherry. He thought Lily would like it. + +He carried the plate to Lily's room and knocked on the door. + +"Lily, can I come in?" he said. "I have something for you." + +Lily opened the door and saw the cake. She smiled. + +"Is that for me, Tom?" she said. + +"Yes, Lily, it's for you," Tom said. "I'm sorry I played a trick on you. I wanted to surprise you, but not make you sad. Will you forgive me?" + +Lily nodded and hugged Tom. She took the cake and tasted it. It was delicious. + +"Thank you, Tom," she said. "This is a nice surprise. I forgive you." + +Tom was happy. He hugged Lily back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you." + +They ate the cake together and played happily. They learned that surprises can be fun, but not mean. They also learned that sauce belongs on food, not on pillows. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a brilliant red ball in the garden. They wanted to play with it, but their mom said no. She said the ball belonged to the big dog next door, and the dog was mean and scary. + +"But mom, we want the ball!" Tom and Lily said. + +"Sorry, you can't have it. Stay inside and play with your toys. I have to go to the store. I'll be back soon." Mom said. She gave them a kiss and left. + +Tom and Lily were sad and bored. They looked out the window and saw the ball again. It was so shiny and round. They wanted it more than anything. + +"Let's go get it!" Tom said. + +"No, mom said no. The dog is mean and scary." Lily said. + +"Mom won't know. The dog is sleeping. Come on, it will be fun!" Tom said. + +He opened the door and ran outside. Lily followed him. They ran to the ball and grabbed it. They laughed and threw it to each other. + +But the dog was not sleeping. He heard them and woke up. He saw them with his ball and got angry. He barked and ran to them. He was big and fast and had sharp teeth. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the ball and ran back to the house. But the dog was faster. He caught Tom and bit him hard. Tom screamed and cried. Lily screamed and cried too. She ran to the door, but it was locked. She banged on it and shouted for help. + +But no one heard her. Mom was at the store. The neighbors were away. The dog was still biting Tom. Tom was bleeding and hurting. Lily was alone and helpless. + +The end. +Sara and Ben wanted to decorate their room with rainbow pictures. They had many colors of paper and scissors and glue. They cut out shapes and stuck them together to make rainbows. They were happy and proud of their work. + +But then their big brother Tom came in. He saw the rainbows and laughed. He said they were silly and babyish. He tore some of them and threw them on the floor. He said he wanted to decorate the room with his posters of cars and rockets. + +Sara and Ben were very sad and angry. They shouted at Tom and told him to stop. They said he was mean and rude. They said they liked their rainbows and they worked hard on them. + +Tom did not listen. He kept tearing and throwing. He did not care about Sara and Ben's feelings. He wanted to have his way. + +Then mom came in. She saw the mess and the tears and the yelling. She asked what was going on. Sara and Ben told her what Tom did. Tom tried to say it was his room too and he could do what he wanted. + +Mom was not happy. She said Tom was wrong and he had to apologize. She said he had to help Sara and Ben fix their rainbows and hang them up. She said he had to respect their choices and share the space. She said he had to be kind and gentle. + +Tom felt bad. He realized he had hurt Sara and Ben. He said he was sorry and he hugged them. He helped them decorate the room with rainbows and posters. He said he liked their rainbows and they were pretty. He said he loved them and he would not do it again. + +Sara and Ben forgave him. They smiled and thanked him. They said they liked his posters and they were cool. They said they loved him and they were happy. + +Mom smiled too. She said they were a good team and she was proud of them. She said they had a beautiful room and they could enjoy it together. She said she loved them and she gave them a big hug. +Tom is a furry cat. He likes to sleep on the sofa. He sleeps a lot. He sleeps when the sun is up and when the sun is down. He sleeps when it is hot and when it is cold. + +One day, Tom wakes up and he is hungry. He smells something good. He jumps off the sofa and runs to the kitchen. He sees a bowl of cereal on the table. He thinks it is for him. He climbs on the chair and licks the cereal. It is sweet and crunchy. He likes it. + +But the cereal is not for Tom. It is for Lily. Lily is a little girl. She lives with Tom and her mom and dad. She likes to eat cereal for breakfast. She comes to the kitchen and sees Tom eating her cereal. She is not happy. She says, "No, Tom! That is my cereal! Bad cat!" + +Tom hears Lily and he is scared. He jumps off the chair and runs away. He hides under the bed. He feels sorry. He did not know the cereal was for Lily. He just wanted to eat something good. + +Lily sees Tom hiding under the bed. She feels sorry too. She knows Tom is hungry. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to yell at you. You can have some of my cereal. But next time, ask me first, okay?" + +Tom comes out from under the bed. He purrs and rubs his head on Lily's leg. He says, "Meow, meow." He means, "Thank you, Lily. You are nice. I will ask you next time." + +Lily smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are my furry friend. I love you." She gives him some of her cereal. They eat together and then they go to the sofa. They cuddle and sleep. They are happy. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big picture of a jungle on a wall. The jungle has many trees, animals and birds. + +"Wow, look at the jungle!" Tim says. "It is so high and green. I want to go there." + +"Me too," Lily says. "But how can we go there? It is very far away." + +They think for a moment. Then Tim has an idea. + +"I know! We can ask Mom and Dad. Maybe they can take us there one day. Come on, let's go and question them." + +They run to their parents, who are sitting on a bench. They show them the picture of the jungle and ask them if they can go there. + +Mom and Dad smile and hug them. + +"That is a beautiful picture of a jungle," Mom says. "But it is not a real jungle. It is a painting. A painting is a picture that someone makes with colors and brushes." + +"A painting?" Tim and Lily say. They are surprised. + +"Yes, a painting," Dad says. "A real jungle is very different. It is not on a wall. It is a place where many plants and animals live. It is very big and wild. You need a plane or a boat to go there. And you need to be careful and brave." + +"Wow, a real jungle sounds amazing," Tim says. "But also scary." + +"I like the painting jungle better," Lily says. "It is pretty and safe. And we can see it anytime we want." + +Mom and Dad nod and laugh. + +"That is true," Mom says. "The painting jungle is a good jungle for you. Maybe when you are older, you can see a real jungle. But for now, you can enjoy the painting jungle and use your imagination." + +Tim and Lily agree. They hug their parents and thank them. Then they go back to the wall and look at the painting jungle. They pretend they are in the jungle and have fun. They see monkeys, lions, elephants and parrots. They climb trees, swing on vines and make noises. They are happy and curious. They love the painting jungle. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were explorers, finding new places and animals. They had a map, a binocular, a hat and a backpack. + +"Look, Lily, there is a big hill over there. Maybe we can find something interesting on top of it," Tom said, pointing with his binocular. + +"OK, let's go, Tom. Maybe we can see the whole park from there," Lily said, following him with her backpack. + +They climbed the hill, holding hands and helping each other. They saw many flowers, birds and bugs on the way. They also saw a big rock with some strange marks on it. + +"Wow, what is this, Tom? It looks like someone wrote something on it," Lily said, touching the rock. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a history. Maybe someone who lived here a long time ago left a message for us," Tom said, trying to read the marks. + +"Or maybe it is a treasure map. Maybe there is a treasure hidden under the rock," Lily said, excited. + +They tried to move the rock, but it was too heavy. They pushed and pulled, but it did not budge. + +"Come on, Lily, we can do it. We are persistent. We don't give up," Tom said, grunting. + +They pushed and pulled harder, but the rock still did not move. Suddenly, they heard a loud roar from behind the rock. They turned around and saw a big, furry, angry bear. + +"AAAAH! A bear! Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted, dropping his binocular and hat. + +"AAAAH! A bear! Run, Tom, run!" Lily shouted, dropping her backpack and map. + +They ran down the hill as fast as they could, leaving their toys behind. The bear chased them, roaring and snarling. They felt their legs tremble and their hearts beat fast. + +They reached the bottom of the hill and ran towards their parents, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"Oh, my, you are safe. That was very scary. You should not go near the bear. He is dangerous," their mom said, stroking their hair. + +"Yes, you are brave, but you should be careful. The bear is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He lives on the hill and he does not like visitors," their dad said, holding their hands. + +"We are sorry, mom and dad. We did not know there was a bear. We just wanted to explore and find a history or a treasure," Lily said, sniffling. + +"We understand, Lily. We are proud of you and Tom for being curious and persistent. But you should also listen to us and stay in the safe areas of the park. There are many other things to see and learn here," their mom said, smiling. + +"OK, mom and dad. We will listen to you. Can we have some ice cream now?" Tom said, wiping his tears. + +"Sure, Tom. You deserve some ice cream. And maybe later we can go back and get your toys. But only if the bear is gone," their dad said, laughing. + +They all walked to the ice cream stand, holding hands and talking. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that exploring is fun, but also risky. They learned that history is interesting, but also mysterious. They learned that being persistent is good, but also scary. And they learned that ice cream is yummy, but also melting. +Sara and Tom like to play at the beach. They like to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see a big wave coming. Sara is scared of the wave. She runs to her mom and hugs her. Tom is not scared of the wave. He wants to try to surf on it. He grabs his board and runs to the water. + +Sara watches Tom from the shore. She sees him jump on his board and paddle with his arms. He waits for the wave to come. The wave is very big and fast. Tom tries to stand up on his board and ride the wave. But he falls off and goes under the water. Sara is very scared for Tom. She cries and calls his name. + +Tom comes out of the water. He is wet and coughing. He is not hurt, but he is sad. He lost his board in the wave. He walks back to the shore. Sara runs to him and hugs him. She is happy that he is okay. She tells him that he was brave to try to surf. Tom smiles and thanks her. He tells her that he will try again another day. They go back to their mom and have a snack. They are still friends. +Lily and Max are cousins who like to play together. They have many toys, but they always want the same one. They are very competitive and do not like to share. + +One day, they are at their uncle's house for a visit. Their uncle has a big garden with many flowers and bugs. Lily and Max see a shiny red ball on the grass. They both run to get it, but they bump into each other and fall down. The ball rolls away and a dog grabs it in its mouth. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Lily shouts. + +"No, it's mine!" Max yells. + +They get up and chase the dog, but the dog is faster and runs away with the ball. Lily and Max are sad and angry. They start to cry. + +Their uncle hears them and comes to see what is wrong. He sees them crying and the dog with the ball. + +"What happened, kids?" he asks. + +"Lily and Max both want the same ball, but the dog took it," he explains. + +He looks at them and shakes his head. + +"You know, kids, sometimes you have to learn to share and take turns. If you both want the same thing, you can't always have it. You have to be kind and fair to each other. That's how you make friends and have fun. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nod their heads. They realize that their uncle is right. They have been selfish and rude to each other. They feel sorry and hug each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the ball first," Max says. + +"I'm sorry, Max. You can have it next," Lily says. + +They smile and wipe their tears. Their uncle smiles too. He whistles and calls the dog. The dog comes back and drops the ball. Lily and Max thank the dog and take the ball. They play with it together, sharing and taking turns. They have a lot of fun and forget their fight. + +Their uncle watches them and feels happy. He thinks that they have learned a valuable lesson. He hopes that they will always remember to be kind and fair to each other. He knows that they will be better friends and cousins. He is proud of them. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. They make noises and stories with their toys. + +"Mama, what is your name?" Lily asks her doll. + +"My name is Anna. I am your friend. What is your name?" the doll says. + +"My name is Lily. I like your dress. It is pink and pretty." Lily says. + +Tom hears Lily and her doll. He wants to join them. He drives his car to them. + +"Beep beep! Hello, Lily and Anna. Can I play with you?" Tom says. + +"Hello, Tom. Yes, you can play with us. What is your name?" Anna says. + +"My name is Tom. I like your car. It is fast and red." Tom says. + +They play together happily. They share their toys and make more noises and stories. + +Soon, they hear Mama calling them. + +"Kids, dinner is ready. Come to the kitchen." Mama says. + +They put their toys away and run to the kitchen. They see Mama has made their favorite dinner. It is pasta and cheese and salad. They smell good and look yummy. + +"Thank you, Mama. You are the best." Lily and Tom say. + +They sit at the table and eat their dinner. They are open and tell Mama about their toys and their stories. Mama listens and smiles. She is happy to see them happy. She loves them very much. +Tommy likes music. He likes to sing and dance with his mommy and daddy. He has a toy piano that makes music when he presses the buttons. He plays with it every day. + +One day, Tommy sees a big piano in his grandma's house. It is shiny and black and has many keys. He wants to play with it and make music. He runs to the piano and tries to reach the keys. But he is too small. He cannot reach them. He feels upset. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" his grandma asks. She sees him standing on his toes and stretching his arms. "Do you want to play the piano?" + +"Yes, grandma, yes!" Tommy says. "But I can't reach the keys. They are too high. I want to make music." + +"Come here, Tommy," his grandma says. She lifts him up and puts him on her lap. She holds his hands and helps him press the keys. The piano makes music. Tommy hears the music and smiles. He likes the music. He likes his grandma. + +"See, Tommy, you can play the piano with me," his grandma says. "We can make music together. Do you like it?" + +"I like it, grandma, I like it!" Tommy says. He hugs his grandma and kisses her cheek. He is not upset anymore. He is happy. +Lily was upset. It was her birthday, but she had no friends to play with. Her mom and dad were busy in the kitchen, making a cake and some food. They told her to wait in her room until they were ready. + +Lily did not want to wait. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to see her present. She wondered what it was. Maybe it was a doll, or a book, or a puzzle. She hoped it was something she liked. + +She decided to wander around the house, looking for her present. She opened every door and every drawer, but she could not find it. She was getting more upset. Where was it? Did they forget? + +She went to the living room, where there was a big window. She looked outside and saw a big box with a bow on it. It was on the porch. It had her name on it. She was so happy. She ran to the door and opened it. + +But as soon as she stepped outside, she heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards her. It was not her dog. It was a stranger dog. It looked angry and scary. It wanted to bite her. + +Lily screamed. She was very scared. She ran back inside and slammed the door. The dog kept barking and scratching the door. Lily cried and hid behind the couch. + +Her mom and dad heard her scream and came to the living room. They saw the dog and the box. They understood what happened. They felt sorry for Lily. + +They opened the door and shooed the dog away. They brought the box inside and gave it to Lily. They hugged her and kissed her. They told her they were sorry and they loved her. + +Lily stopped crying. She smiled and thanked them. She opened the box and saw her present. It was a teddy bear. It was soft and cuddly. It had a bow on its neck. It was the best present ever. + +She hugged the teddy bear and named it Buddy. She said sorry to the dog for taking its box. She said it could share her cake and food. She was not upset anymore. She was happy. It was her birthday, and she had a friend to play with. +Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they decide to play hide and seek in the living room. Sam is the seeker and Lily is the hider. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Sam says. He looks around the room. He sees a big couch with pillows and a blanket. He thinks Lily might be hiding under the blanket. He walks to the couch and lifts the blanket. But he does not see Lily. He only sees a big teddy bear. + +"Ha ha, you found me!" Lily says. She jumps out from behind the couch. She was hiding there all along. She put the teddy bear under the blanket to trick Sam. + +"That's not fair!" Sam says. "You are so silly!" + +Lily laughs. "You are silly too! You did not observe well. You did not see my feet behind the couch." + +Sam looks and sees Lily's feet. He feels silly too. He laughs with Lily. + +"OK, you win this time. But next time, I will observe better and find you faster!" Sam says. + +"OK, let's play again. But this time, I will be the seeker and you will be the hider. And no more teddy bears!" Lily says. + +They agree and start a new game. They have fun playing hide and seek on the couch. +One day, Lily and Tom went to play in the park. They saw a stream with clear water and many fish. They wanted to catch some fish, so they took a net and a bucket. + +"Let's follow the stream and see where it goes," Tom said. "Maybe we can find a big fish." + +"OK, but be careful not to fall in," Lily said. They walked along the stream, looking for fish. They saw some small ones, but they were too fast for the net. + +After a while, they came to a bridge. Under the bridge, the stream was dark and dirty. It smelled sour and made them feel sick. + +"Yuck, what is this?" Lily asked. "This is not a good place for fish." + +"Maybe someone threw something bad in the water," Tom said. "We should go back to the clean part of the stream." + +They turned around and walked back. They saw a big fish swimming near the bank. Tom tried to catch it with the net, but the fish was too smart. It jumped out of the water and splashed Tom in the face. + +"Ha ha, you missed it!" Lily laughed. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. "It was a tricky fish." + +They laughed and played some more. They decided to leave the fish alone and enjoy the stream. They had fun in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box of crayons and paper. They create pictures of animals and flowers. + +One day, a new girl comes to the park. Her name is Lily. She has a shiny bike and a pink dress. She rides her bike around the park. She does not say hello to Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben look at Lily. They feel jealous. They want a bike like Lily's. They stop creating pictures. They sit on the bench and frown. + +Lily sees Anna and Ben. She stops her bike. She walks to them. She smiles. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They are surprised. They think Lily is mean. But they are also curious. + +"OK, we can play with you. What do you want to play?" Anna says. + +Lily points to the crayons and paper. "Can I see your pictures? They look nice. I like to create pictures too. Can we create pictures together?" she says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They give Lily some crayons and paper. They show her their pictures. They tell her the names of the animals and flowers. Lily likes their pictures. She creates a picture of a bike and a dress. She shows them her picture. She tells them about her bike and her dress. + +Anna and Ben smile. They like Lily's picture. They ask her questions about her bike and her dress. Lily answers them. She tells them she is new in town. She does not have many friends. She is happy to meet Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for Lily. They are not jealous anymore. They are glad to have a new friend. They invite Lily to play with them again. Lily says yes. They hug and laugh. + +They create more pictures. They have fun in the park. They are friends. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They kick the ball to each other and say "pass, pass". They have fun. + +One day, they see a man with a big hat and a colorful coat. He has a whistle in his mouth. He blows the whistle and makes a loud sound. Tim and Sam are curious. They run to the man and ask him, "What are you doing?" + +The man smiles and says, "I am a referee. I whistle when the players break the rules in a game. Do you want to try?" He gives them the whistle and shows them how to blow it. + +Tim and Sam take turns to blow the whistle. They make different sounds. They laugh and giggle. They pretend to be referees and say, "Foul, foul". They have more fun. + +The man claps and says, "You are good at whistling. Do you want to watch a game with me?" He points to a field where some people are playing soccer. They wear colorful shirts and shorts. + +Tim and Sam nod and say, "Yes, please". They follow the man to the field. They watch the game and blow the whistle when they see a foul. They cheer and shout. They have the most fun. +Ben and Mia were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see new things and meet new people. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom gave them each a passport. "This is a very important paper," she said. "It tells who you are and where you are from. You have to keep it safe and show it when we get on the plane." + +Ben and Mia looked at their passports. They had their names and pictures on them. They felt very grown-up. They put them in their pockets and smiled. + +When they got to the airport, they saw a lot of people and machines. They heard a lot of noises and announcements. They felt a little dizzy. They followed Mom and Dad to a line. They waited for their turn to show their passports. + +Ben was bored. He took out his passport and looked at it. He wondered what would happen if he split it in half. He thought it would be fun to see the inside. He pulled at the edge of the paper. + +Mia saw what he was doing. She gasped. "Ben, no!" she shouted. "You can't split your passport! Mom said it's very important! You will get in trouble!" + +But it was too late. Ben ripped his passport in two. He looked at the pieces. He didn't see anything interesting. He felt very bad. + +Mom and Dad heard Mia's shout. They turned around and saw Ben's passport. They were very angry and scared. "Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. "You split your passport! How could you do that? You can't get on the plane now! You ruined our trip!" + +Ben started to cry. He didn't mean to ruin the trip. He was just curious. He was sorry. He wished he could fix his passport. He wished he could go on the big trip. He wished he could make Mom and Dad happy again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a cell in the garden. It was small and shiny and had buttons. They wanted to see what it could do. + +"Let me have it!" Ben said. He tried to grab the cell from Lily's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She raised the cell over her head. She did not want to share. + +They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big dog that came running. The dog was not charming. He was angry and hungry. He saw the cell and wanted it too. + +He jumped and bit Lily's arm. Lily screamed and dropped the cell. The dog took it and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were sad and hurt. They cried and hugged. They wished they had been nice to each other. They learned that being greedy can lead to trouble. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the park. One day, they found a big box. They decided to make it into a castle. + +"Look, we have a castle now!" Anna said. "We can be a princess and a knight!" + +"OK, I will be the knight. You be the princess," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. There might be a dragon or a witch nearby." + +They decorated the box with stickers and crayons. They made a door and a window. They had a lot of fun in their castle. + +But then, a big boy came. He was mean and rude. He saw the castle and wanted to take it. + +"Hey, that's my castle!" he shouted. "Give it to me!" + +"No, it's ours! We made it!" Anna and Ben said. "Go away!" + +The big boy did not listen. He pushed Anna and Ben out of the way. He grabbed the box and ran away. + +"Hey, stop!" Anna and Ben cried. "That's not fair!" + +They tried to chase him, but he was too fast. He disappeared behind a tree. + +Anna and Ben were very sad. They lost their castle. They had nothing to play with. + +They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had a dependable friend who would help them. But they only had each other. +Tom likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park, where they see many trees, birds and flowers. Tom likes to say hello to the people and animals they meet. He is a kind boy. + +One day, they jog past a big pond. Tom sees a network of sticks and leaves on the water. He stops and points at it. "What is that, dad?" he asks. + +"That is a beaver's home, Tom. Beavers are animals that build homes with sticks and leaves. They live in the water and eat wood. They are very clever," dad says. + +"Can we see the beavers, dad?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe, if we are quiet and patient. Look, there is one poking its head out of the water. Do you see it?" dad says. + +Tom sees a brown furry head with two big teeth. He smiles and waves at the beaver. The beaver looks at Tom and makes a splash with its tail. Tom laughs and claps his hands. He thinks the beaver is funny and friendly. + +"Hello, beaver. We are Tom and dad. We like to jog in the park. Do you like to jog, too?" Tom says. + +The beaver does not answer, but it swims closer to the shore. It picks up a stick and carries it to its home. Tom and dad watch as the beaver adds the stick to its network. They are amazed by the beaver's work. + +"Wow, beaver. You are very good at building. Your home is very big and strong. We are proud of you," dad says. + +The beaver nods and makes another splash with its tail. It seems to say thank you. Tom and dad say goodbye to the beaver and jog on. They are happy to have met a new friend in the park. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, but Ben has a rare car. It is red and shiny and very fast. Sam wants to play with Ben's rare car, but Ben does not want to share. + +"Please, Ben, let me play with your rare car. It is so cool and fast. I will be careful," Sam says. + +"No, Sam, this is my rare car. You have your own cars. Go away," Ben says. + +Sam is sad. He goes away and plays with his own cars. But he still wants to play with Ben's rare car. + +One day, Ben loses his rare car. He looks everywhere, but he cannot find it. He is very sad and angry. He thinks someone took his rare car. + +He goes to Sam and says, "Sam, did you take my rare car? Give it back to me. It is mine." + +Sam is surprised. He says, "No, Ben, I did not take your rare car. I do not know where it is. Why do you think I took it?" + +"Because you always wanted to play with it. You are a bad friend. You are a thief," Ben says. + +Sam is hurt. He says, "Ben, I am not a bad friend. I am not a thief. I just wanted to play with you and your rare car. But you never shared with me. You were mean to me." + +Ben does not listen. He is still angry. He goes away and looks for his rare car. + +Sam is sad. He goes to his room and cries. He sees something under his bed. It is Ben's rare car. It must have rolled under his bed when they played together. + +Sam is happy. He finds Ben's rare car. He thinks he can give it back to Ben and make him happy too. He runs to Ben's house with the rare car. + +He knocks on the door and says, "Ben, Ben, I found your rare car. It was under my bed. I did not take it. I am sorry you thought I did. Here, take it. It is yours." + +Ben is shocked. He sees his rare car. He is happy. He takes it and says, "Thank you, Sam. You found my rare car. I am sorry I was mean to you. I am sorry I did not share with you. You are a good friend. You are kind to me." + +Sam is happy too. He says, "You are welcome, Ben. I am glad you are happy. You are a good friend too. Can we play together with your rare car?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Yes, Sam, we can play together with my rare car. And with your cars too. Sharing is fun. Sharing is good." + +Ben and Sam hug and play with their cars. They are happy. They learn to share and trust each other. They are good friends. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a basket with people inside. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "I want to go in the balloon and fly high." + +"Me too," Lila said. "Maybe they will let us join them." + +They ran to the balloon, but it was too far away. They saw the people waving and smiling. They heard them say they were going to the west, where the sun sets. + +"Please, wait for us!" Ben shouted. "We want to go with you!" + +But the people did not hear them. The balloon went higher and higher, until it was a small dot in the sky. + +Lila and Ben felt sad and angry. They thought the people were selfish. They did not share their balloon with them. + +"Why did they leave us?" Lila asked. "Don't they like us?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they were afraid we would make the balloon too heavy." + +They sat on the grass and watched the balloon disappear. They hoped they would see it again someday. They hoped they would have their own balloon and fly to the west. They hoped they would meet nice people who would share their things with them. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. Anna goes first and slides down fast. She laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Ben wants to go next, but he sees something under the slide. It is a small infant, wrapped in a blanket. The infant is hidden from the sun and the people. Ben is curious and goes closer. He says, "Hello, little one. Who are you?" + +The infant does not answer. He only makes a soft sound. Ben reaches out and pulls the blanket a little. He sees the infant's face. He has blue eyes and a pink nose. Ben smiles and says, "You are cute. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna comes to see what Ben is doing. She sees the infant and gasps. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? That is not a toy. That is a baby. Someone must be looking for him. We have to tell a grown-up." + +Ben looks at Anna and says, "But he is alone. Maybe he is lost. Maybe he is hungry. Maybe he is scared. We have to help him." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "You are right. He needs help. But we cannot take him. We have to find his mommy or daddy. They must be very worried. Come on, let's go and ask around." + +Anna and Ben leave the blanket and the infant under the slide. They hold hands and look for a grown-up. They hope they can find the infant's family soon. They hope the infant is safe and happy. +Lily was a modest girl who liked to play with her toys and share with her friends. She did not like to show off or be rude. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a shiny trumpet on a bench. She wondered who left it there and if they would miss it. + +"Mom, look, a trumpet!" Lily said, pointing to the instrument. + +"Wow, that's a nice trumpet. Maybe someone forgot it here. Do you want to try it?" her mom asked. + +Lily nodded and picked up the trumpet. She put it to her mouth and blew hard. A loud sound came out, making some birds fly away and some people look at her. Lily felt happy and proud. She liked the trumpet and wanted to keep it. + +"Can I have it, mom? Please?" Lily asked. + +Her mom shook her head. "No, Lily, that's not yours. Someone else owns it and they might be looking for it. How would you feel if you lost your favorite toy and someone else took it?" + +Lily thought about her teddy bear that she loved very much. She would be very sad and angry if someone took it from her. She realized that it was not right to take the trumpet. She felt sorry and ashamed. + +"You're right, mom. I'm sorry. I don't want to take the trumpet. Let's put it back on the bench and hope the owner finds it." Lily said. + +"Good girl, Lily. I'm proud of you. That's very modest and kind of you. Maybe you can ask for a trumpet for your birthday if you really like it." her mom said. + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She put the trumpet back on the bench and walked away. She felt good and happy. She learned that it was better to be modest and honest than to be greedy and selfish. She hoped the owner of the trumpet would find it soon and be happy too. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a printer. It can make pictures on paper. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "Let's try it!" + +They plug the printer to the wall and turn it on. They see a button that says "print". They press it and wait. + +The printer makes a noise. It sounds like a motor. It moves the paper inside. Then it spits out a paper. Tom and Mia look at it. + +"What is this?" Mia asks. "It is so dull!" + +The paper has a picture of a flower. But the flower is gray and blurry. It does not look pretty. + +"Maybe it needs more ink," Tom says. "Or maybe it is broken." + +They press the button again and again. But the printer only makes more dull pictures. They get bored. + +"This printer is no fun," Mia says. "Let's play with something else." + +They put the printer back in the box and forget about it. They take out their cars and dolls and have a better time. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favourite was a big aeroplane that could make noises and fly in the air. They liked to pretend they were pilots and go on adventures. + +One day, their mom said they were going to visit their grandma, who lived far away. She said they would go on a real aeroplane and see the clouds and the birds. Ben and Lily were very excited. They wanted to see the aeroplane and fly in the sky. + +They packed their bags and took their toy aeroplane with them. They got in the car and drove to the airport. They saw many aeroplanes on the ground and in the air. They were big and shiny and loud. Ben and Lily pointed and shouted, "Look, look, an aeroplane!" + +They got out of the car and went inside the airport. They had to wait in a line and show their tickets. Then they had to put their bags and their toy aeroplane on a belt. A man looked at them and said, "You can't take this toy aeroplane with you. It's too big and it might break. You have to leave it here." + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They didn't want to leave their toy aeroplane. They wanted to take it with them and play with it on the real aeroplane. They started to cry and scream, "No, no, we want our aeroplane!" + +Their mom tried to calm them down and said, "Don't be selfish, Ben and Lily. You have to share your toy aeroplane with other children who don't have one. You can play with it when you come back. Besides, you're going to see a real aeroplane and fly in the sky. That's much more fun than a toy aeroplane." + +Ben and Lily stopped crying and looked at each other. They thought about what their mom said. They thought about the other children who didn't have a toy aeroplane. They thought about the real aeroplane and the sky. They felt a little sorry and a little curious. + +They nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We'll share our toy aeroplane. But can we see it again when we come back?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "Of course, Ben and Lily. You're very good children. Now let's go and find our seats on the real aeroplane. Are you ready to fly?" + +Ben and Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. We're ready to fly!" They held their mom's hand and walked to the gate. They saw their toy aeroplane on a shelf and waved goodbye to it. They hoped it would make other children happy. They looked forward to seeing their grandma and flying in the sky. They were still excited, but not selfish. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy trains on the track. They liked to make the trains go fast and make noises. But Tom wanted to have the red train that Lily had. He said, "Give me the red train. It is mine." + +Lily said, "No, it is mine. You have the blue train. It is nice too." + +Tom got angry and grabbed the red train from Lily. Lily cried and tried to get it back. They pulled and pushed the train until it broke. The track was also broken. They both felt sad and sorry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken train and the broken track. She said, "What did you do? You broke your toys. You were not nice to each other. You have to share and be kind." + +Tom and Lily looked at their mom and then at each other. They knew they did something bad. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Tom. We were not nice. We were mean. Can you forgive us?" + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. I forgive you, Lily. I love you both. But you have to learn to play together and respect each other's toys. And you have to be careful with your toys. They are not dangerous, but they can break if you are rough with them." + +Tom and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They said, "We love you, mom. We will play together and respect each other's toys. And we will be careful with our toys. We will not break them again." + +Their mom helped them fix the train and the track. They thanked her and played with their trains again. They took turns with the red train and the blue train. They made the trains go fast and make noises. But they also made the trains say, "Hello, friend. You are nice. I like you." They were happy and had fun. +Tommy was hungry. He saw a big cake on the table. He wanted some cake. He looked around. No one was watching. He took a fork and cut a piece of cake. He put it in his mouth. It was yummy. + +He heard a noise. It was his mom. She came into the kitchen. She saw the cake. She saw the fork. She saw Tommy's face. It was messy. She was angry. + +"Tommy, did you eat the cake?" she asked. + +Tommy felt guilty. He wanted to say sorry. But he was afraid. He nodded his head. + +"Why did you eat the cake, Tommy?" she asked. + +Tommy did not know what to say. He liked cake. He was hungry. He thought mom would not mind. + +"I was hungry," he said. + +"But the cake was for grandma's birthday," she said. "You should have asked me first. Now the cake is smaller. You increased the problem." + +Tommy felt bad. He did not know it was for grandma. He loved grandma. He did not want to ruin her birthday. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he said. "I didn't know. Can I still give grandma a hug?" + +Mom sighed. She was still angry. But she loved Tommy. She knew he was young. She knew he made a mistake. + +"Yes, you can still give grandma a hug," she said. "But you have to help me make a new cake. And you have to say sorry to grandma. And you have to learn to share. OK?" + +Tommy nodded his head. He was glad mom was not too mad. He wanted to help mom. He wanted to say sorry to grandma. He wanted to learn to share. He hugged mom. He said, "OK, mom. I love you." +Tim and Anna liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a pond with many frogs. They wanted to catch a frog and take it home. + +"Look, Anna, a frog!" Tim said. He ran to the pond and tried to grab a frog. But the frog was too fast and jumped away. + +"Tim, be careful!" Anna said. "The pond is deep and wet. You might fall in." + +"I won't fall in," Tim said. "I want a frog. Frogs are fun." + +Anna followed Tim and tried to help him. But catching a frog was difficult. The frogs were slippery and smart. They hid under the water or behind the rocks. Tim and Anna got wet and muddy. + +"Tim, Anna, what are you doing?" They heard a voice. It was their mom. She came to pick them up from the park. + +"Mom, we are catching frogs!" Tim said. + +"Frogs?" Mom said. "Why do you want frogs?" + +"Because frogs are fun," Anna said. + +Mom looked at the pond and the frogs. She looked at Tim and Anna and their wet and muddy clothes. She smiled. + +"Frogs are fun, but they are also wild," she said. "They belong in the pond, not in our home. How about we leave the frogs here and go get some ice cream instead?" + +Tim and Anna thought about it. They liked frogs, but they also liked ice cream. And they were tired and hungry. + +"OK, Mom," they said. "Let's go get some ice cream." + +They said goodbye to the frogs and followed Mom to the car. They did not mention the frogs again. They were happy with their ice cream. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room when they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big wind that made everything shake and fly. Mommy came in and told them it was a hurricane. + +"A hurricane?" Lily asked. "What is that?" + +Mommy said, "A hurricane is a very strong storm that can be dangerous. We have to stay inside and be safe. Come with me to the basement, where it is safer." + +Lily and Ben followed Mommy to the basement, where they saw Daddy and their dog, Spot. Daddy had a flashlight and some blankets. He smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't be scared, kids. We are together and we will be okay. The hurricane will pass soon. Let's play a game to pass the time. How about I spy?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked I spy. Daddy started first. + +"I spy with my little eye something that is red." + +Lily looked around and saw a red ball. She whispered, "Is it the ball?" + +Daddy said, "Yes, it is. Good job, Lily. Your turn." + +Lily thought for a moment and then said, "I spy with my little eye something that is soft." + +Ben looked around and saw Spot. He whispered, "Is it Spot?" + +Lily said, "Yes, it is. Good job, Ben. Your turn." + +Ben thought for a moment and then said, "I spy with my little eye something that is loud." + +Lily and Daddy looked around and heard the hurricane outside. They whispered, "Is it the hurricane?" + +Ben said, "Yes, it is. But we are not loud. We are quiet and brave. Right, Mommy?" + +Mommy said, "That's right, Ben. We are quiet and brave. And we love each other very much." She kissed them all and hugged them tight. + +They played I spy until the hurricane was over. Then they went back to their room and saw that everything was still there. They were happy and thankful. They said good night and went to sleep. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, Lily got a new toy. It was a big, shiny robot that could talk and move. Lily was very happy and showed it to Ben. + +"Wow, that is a cool toy!" Ben said. He wanted to play with it too, but Lily did not let him. "It is mine, only mine!" she said. "You can play with your old car." + +Ben felt sad and envious. He liked his car, but it was not as fun as the robot. He wished he had a robot too. He tried to be nice to Lily, but she did not share. She only played with her robot and ignored him. + +The next day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their moms. Lily brought her robot and Ben brought his car. They saw other kids playing with different toys. Some had balls, some had bikes, some had puzzles. Lily wanted to play with them, but they did not like her robot. They said it was too loud and scary. They did not want to be her friends. + +Lily felt sad and lonely. She looked for Ben, but he was not there. He had found a new friend, a girl named Mia. Mia had a doll that looked like a princess. Ben liked the doll and Mia liked his car. They played together and had fun. + +Lily went to Ben and Mia. She wanted to play with them, but they did not want her. "Go away, Lily!" Ben said. "You are mean and selfish. You did not let me play with your robot. Now I have a new friend and a new toy. I do not need you." + +Lily felt hurt and angry. She tried to take the doll from Mia, but Mia held it tight. "No, it is mine, only mine!" Mia said. "You can play with your old robot." + +Lily realized that she had been a bad friend to Ben. She had not shared her toy and had made him feel bad. She wished she had been nicer to him. She wished she had his memory of playing with dolls and cars and books. + +She looked at her robot and felt sorry. It was not a good toy. It was too loud and scary. It did not make her happy. It did not make anyone happy. + +She shrugged and threw the robot in the trash. She ran to Ben and Mia and said, "I am sorry, Ben. I am sorry, Mia. Can I play with you? Can we be friends?" + +Ben and Mia looked at her. They saw that she was sorry and sad. They felt sorry and kind. They nodded and smiled. They gave her the doll and the car. They said, "Yes, you can play with us. Yes, we can be friends." + +Lily felt happy and grateful. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mia. You are the best friends ever." + +They played together and had fun. They shared their toys and their memories. They were not envious anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy yacht in the bath. They make it sail and splash and pretend they are on a big adventure. One day, they see a real yacht on the lake near their house. It is white and shiny and has a big flag. + +"Wow, look at that yacht!" Anna says. "Can we go and see it?" + +Ben nods. "Yes, let's go and see it. Maybe we can play on it too." + +They run to the lake and find a man on the yacht. He is wearing a hat and sunglasses and he looks busy. He is holding a phone and a map. + +"Hello, mister," Anna says. "Can we see your yacht? It is very pretty." + +The man looks at them and frowns. He is very rude. He says, "No, you can't see my yacht. This is my yacht and you are not allowed on it. Go away and leave me alone. I have work to do." + +He turns away and ignores them. Anna and Ben feel sad and angry. They think the man is mean and selfish. They want to play on the yacht, but they know they can't. + +They go back to their house and tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Some people are rude and don't like to share. But you are kind and generous. You can play with your toy yacht in the bath and have fun. Maybe one day, you will have a real yacht of your own and you will let other children play on it too." + +Anna and Ben smile and nod. They go to the bath and play with their toy yacht. They forget about the rude man and his yacht. They have a big adventure and a lot of fun. +Ben liked to organize his toys. He had many cubes of different colors and sizes. He put them in neat rows and stacks on his shelf. He was proud of his cubes and how they looked. + +One day, a new boy came to play with Ben. His name was Sam. Sam saw Ben's cubes and wanted to play with them. He did not ask Ben. He just took some cubes and threw them on the floor. He made loud noises and laughed. + +Ben was angry and sad. He did not like Sam. He thought Sam was ignorant. He did not know how to play with cubes. He did not respect Ben's work. He wanted Sam to go away. + +Ben had an idea. He remembered that he had a special cube. It was bigger and heavier than the others. It was also a puzzle. It could open and close. Ben had hidden a surprise inside. He had put a rubber snake that looked real. + +Ben went to his shelf and took the special cube. He pretended to play with it. He said to Sam, "Do you want to see my best cube? It is very fun. It has a secret." + +Sam was curious. He liked secrets. He stopped throwing cubes and came to Ben. He said, "Let me see. Let me see." + +Ben smiled and gave the special cube to Sam. He said, "Open it. You will like it." + +Sam opened the cube. He saw the snake. He screamed and dropped the cube. He ran away. He was scared and sorry. + +Ben laughed and picked up his special cube. He put it back on his shelf. He said, "That will teach him. He will not bother me again." + +Ben was happy. He organized his cubes again. He liked his cubes and how they looked. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. But sometimes they fight over toys. Today they want the same pillow. It is soft and pink and has a picture of a bunny. + +"Give me the pillow!" Anna says. She tries to pull the pillow from Ben's hands. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He holds the pillow tight. He does not want to share. + +Anna is angry. She pinches Ben's arm. Ben says "Ow!" He pinches Anna's cheek. Anna says "Ow!" too. + +They both cry. They are stubborn. They do not say sorry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them with the pillow and their red marks. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. She is not happy. + +"Anna pinched me!" Ben says. + +"Ben pinched me!" Anna says. + +Mom shakes her head. She takes the pillow from them. She puts it on the shelf. + +"No more pillow for you. You need to be nice to each other. Pinching hurts. Say sorry and hug." Mom says. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel bad. They say sorry and hug. Mom smiles. She gives them each a different pillow. + +"Now you can play nicely. Share and take turns. I love you both." Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They love Mom. They love each other. They play with their pillows. They do not pinch anymore. +Lily is a dog who likes to play with her friends. She has a red collar with a bell that makes a sound when she runs. One day, she sees a new dog in the park. He is big and brown and has a blue collar. Lily wants to be his friend, so she runs to him and barks. + +"Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asks. + +The new dog looks at her and wags his tail. "Hi, I am Max. Yes, I want to play with you," he says. + +They run and chase and roll in the grass. They have fun and make each other laugh. Lily likes Max and Max likes Lily. + +After a while, they get hungry. Lily remembers that she has some yummy treats at home. She thinks of an idea. + +"Max, do you want to come to my home? I can invite you for some yummy treats. They are crunchy and sweet and good for your teeth," she says. + +Max thinks that sounds great. He likes yummy treats. He nods and follows Lily. + +They go to Lily's home and Lily shows him her treats. They share and eat and enjoy. They are happy and full. They thank each other and say goodbye. + +Lily and Max are now friends. They invite each other to play and share yummy treats. They have a red collar and a blue collar, but they have the same heart. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many cars, balls, dolls and blocks. They can make fun things with their blocks. Sometimes they make a house, sometimes a tower, sometimes a restaurant. + +One day, they decide to make a restaurant with their blocks. They put some blocks on the floor and say, "This is the kitchen. This is where we cook the food." They put some more blocks on a table and say, "This is the dining room. This is where we serve the food." They find some plates, cups and spoons and put them on the table. They say, "This is the cutlery. We need them to eat the food." + +They are very organized. They have a menu, a cash register and a sign that says, "Lily and Ben's Restaurant". They invite their mom and dad to come and eat at their restaurant. They say, "Welcome to our restaurant. What would you like to eat?" Mom and dad look at the menu and say, "We would like some pizza and salad, please." Lily and Ben say, "Okay, coming right up." They pretend to cook the pizza and salad in the kitchen. They use some cardboard, paper and crayons to make the food. + +They bring the food to the table and say, "Here you go. Enjoy your meal." Mom and dad say, "Thank you. This looks delicious." They pretend to eat the food and say, "Mmm, this is very good. You are very good cooks." Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you. We are happy you like it." + +They ask, "Would you like some dessert?" Mom and dad say, "Yes, please. What do you have?" Lily and Ben say, "We have cake and ice cream." They go back to the kitchen and make the dessert. They use some sponge, cotton and glitter to make the cake. They use some balls to make the ice cream. They roll the balls in different colors and say, "This is chocolate, this is vanilla, this is strawberry." + +They bring the dessert to the table and say, "Here you go. Enjoy your dessert."

They have many ideas and they are very excited. They go to bed and dream of their next adventure. +Lila and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in the woods near their hut. One day, they found a big pile of leaves. They jumped in the leaves and made a lot of noise. + +But a grumpy old bear lived in the woods. He did not like noise. He came out of his cave and saw Lila and Tom. He roared at them and chased them away. + +Lila and Tom ran back to their hut. They were scared and sad. They told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The bear is just grumpy because he wants to settle for the winter. He will sleep soon and leave you alone. You can play in the leaves again when he is asleep." + +Lila and Tom felt better. They thanked their mom and went inside the hut. They played with their toys and waited for the winter to come. They hoped the bear would have nice dreams and be less grumpy when he woke up. +One morning, Tom and Lily wake up early. They want to go to the park and see the animals. They put on their coats and hats and ask their mom to take them. + +Mom says yes and they walk to the park. They see many birds, like ducks and pigeons. But they also see something unusual. A big white goose is sitting on a bench. It has a red bow around its neck and a basket next to it. + +Tom and Lily are curious. They go closer to the goose. The goose looks at them and honks. It opens its basket and shows them what is inside. There are cookies, apples and juice. The goose smiles and nods. It wants to share its picnic with them. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They sit on the bench with the goose and eat the yummy food. They thank the goose and give it a hug. The goose honks again and wags its tail. It is happy too. It has made new friends. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She wonders who gave the goose the bow and the basket. Maybe it was a fairy or a kind person. She does not know. But she is glad that Tom and Lily have found an unusual and friendly goose. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big boot on the grass. It was brown and dirty and had a hole in it. + +"Who left this boot here?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe a wild animal," Sam said. "Maybe a bear or a wolf." + +Lily and Sam were scared of wild animals. They wanted to go away from the boot. But then they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, have you seen my boot?" + +They turned around and saw a man. He was wearing a hat and a coat and had one boot on his foot. He looked friendly, not wild. + +"Is this your boot?" Lily asked, pointing to the boot on the grass. + +"Yes, it is. Thank you for finding it. I lost it when I was walking my dog. He likes to chase squirrels and sometimes he pulls me along." + +"Where is your dog?" Sam asked. + +"He's over there, by the tree. He's a good dog, but he's very wild. He likes to play and bark and run. Do you want to meet him?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They liked dogs. They followed the man to the tree. They saw a big, fluffy dog. He was wagging his tail and licking his nose. He looked happy, not wild. + +"Hello, dog," Lily said. + +"Hi, dog," Sam said. + +The dog barked and licked their faces. He was friendly, not wild. + +"His name is Spot," the man said. "He likes to make new friends. Do you want to play with him?" + +Lily and Sam smiled. They wanted to play with Spot. They threw a stick and he fetched it. They rubbed his belly and he rolled over. They had fun with Spot. He was a good dog, not wild. + +The end. +Tom likes to play with ice. He likes to see how cold it is and how it melts in his hand. He likes to make shapes with ice and put them on his toys. He likes to pretend he is in a snowy land with ice animals. + +But Tom does not like to wash his hands. He thinks it is boring and not fun. He does not like the soap and the water and the towel. He does not like to stop playing with ice and go to the sink. He says he is not dirty and he does not need to wash. + +One day, Tom's mom tells him he has to wash his hands before lunch. She says it is easy and good for him. She says there are germs on his hands from the ice and he has to get rid of them. She says he can play with ice again after he washes. + +Tom does not want to listen. He says he does not care about germs and he does not want to wash. He runs away from his mom and hides under the table. He holds his ice in his hand and does not let go. + +But soon, Tom feels something wet and sticky on his hand. He looks and sees that his ice has melted and made a mess. He feels cold and yucky and he does not like it. He wishes he had washed his hand when his mom told him. He crawls out from under the table and says he is sorry. He asks his mom to help him wash his hand and make it clean. He says he will wash his hands every time he plays with ice. He says he learned his lesson and he knows that washing is easy and good. +Anna and Ben love to play on the beach. They like to make sand castles, dig holes, and collect shells. Sometimes they see crabs, birds, and fish. They always have fun. + +One day, they see something incredible in the water. It is a big, shiny, and fast boat. It zooms by the shore, making a loud noise and a big splash. Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to see it closer. + +"Look, look!" Anna says. "It is a zoom boat!" + +"Wow!" Ben says. "It is so cool!" + +They run to the edge of the water, but they have to be careful. The tide is coming in, and the water is getting higher and higher. They don't want to get wet or lose their shoes. + +"Can we go on the zoom boat?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is too far and too fast." + +They wave at the zoom boat, hoping it will come back. But the zoom boat keeps going, and soon it is out of sight. Anna and Ben are sad. They wish they could ride on the zoom boat. + +"Maybe next time," Ben says. + +"Maybe," Anna says. + +They go back to their sand castles, but they still think about the zoom boat. They pretend they are on the zoom boat, and they make zoom noises with their mouths. They have fun again. They love to play on the beach. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they heard Mom call from the kitchen. + +"Kids, it's time to wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" + +Anna and Ben did not want to stop playing. They looked at each other and had an idea. They whispered to each other and nodded. + +"Okay, Mom, we're coming!" they shouted. + +But they did not go to the kitchen. They ran to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. They splashed water on their hands and faces, but also on the floor and the walls. They laughed and made more noises. + +They did not hear Mom come to the bathroom. She opened the door and saw the mess. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked in a loud voice. + +Anna and Ben stopped laughing. They looked at Mom and felt scared. They tried to say something, but there was only silence. + +Mom took a deep breath and said, "You two are in big trouble. You did not listen to me. You made a mess. You wasted water. You need to clean up and apologize. Now!" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Sorry, Mom." + +They grabbed some towels and started to wipe the water. They knew they had done something bad. They wished they had listened to Mom. They hoped she would be fine with them later. +Lily and Tom like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make a race with their cars on the floor. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars as fast as they can. + +One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is a big, fat car with a button on the back. Lily says, "What is this car? It is so fat and heavy. How can it race?" Tom says, "I don't know. Let's try it." + +They put the fat car on the floor with their other cars. They say "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars. The fat car moves very slowly. It is much slower than the other cars. Lily and Tom laugh. They say, "This car is too fat to race. It is a silly car." + +But then, something happens. The fat car reaches the wall and stops. Then, it makes a beep sound and the button on the back flashes. The fat car starts to move again, but in the opposite direction. It is going in reverse. It goes faster and faster, passing the other cars. Lily and Tom are surprised. They say, "Wow! Look at the fat car! It is going in reverse. It is a smart car." + +The fat car reaches the other wall and stops. Then, it makes another beep sound and the button flashes again. The fat car goes in reverse again, back to the start. It wins the race. Lily and Tom clap their hands. They say, "Hooray for the fat car! It is the best car. It can race in reverse." They hug the fat car and play with it some more. They like the fat car very much. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big black dog near the swings. The dog has a shiny collar and a long tail. + +"Look, mom, a dog!" Lila says. She loves dogs. She runs to the dog and tries to pet it. + +"Wait, Lila, be careful!" Ben says. He is afraid of dogs. He stays behind mom. + +The dog growls and shows its teeth. It does not like strangers. It snaps at Lila's hand and bites it. Lila screams and drops her toy. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cries. She runs back to mom. Mom hugs her and looks at her hand. It is bleeding. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Ben shouts. He is angry at the dog. He picks up Lila's toy and throws it at the dog. The toy is a lemon. It is yellow and round and bitter. + +The dog catches the lemon in its mouth. It thinks it is a ball. It tries to chew it, but it is too sour. The dog spits out the lemon and makes a funny face. It whines and runs away. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Ben laughs. He thinks he scared the dog. He gives Lila a high-five. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" mom asks. She wipes Lila's hand with a tissue and puts a band-aid on it. + +"I'm okay, mom," Lila says. She smiles and hugs Ben. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother." + +"You're welcome, Lila. You are a good sister," Ben says. + +Mom smiles and kisses them both. She says they are brave and smart. She says they should always be careful with dogs they don't know. She says they should go home and have some ice cream. + +Lila and Ben agree. They hold mom's hand and walk home. They are happy. They still like dogs, but not black and bitter ones. +Anna loved her puppy, Spot. He was small and soft and liked to play with her. She gave him food and water and a bed to sleep in.

The big dog growled and bared his teeth at Spot. Spot was scared and tried to hide behind Anna. Anna wanted to protect her puppy, so she said to the big dog, "Go away! You are not nice!" + +The big dog did not listen. He lunged at Spot and tried to bite him. Anna screamed and pulled Spot away. But the big dog was faster and stronger. He bit Anna's hand instead. Anna felt a sharp pain and let go of the leash. Spot ran away, barking and whimpering. + +Anna's mom heard her scream and ran to help her. She saw the blood on Anna's hand and the big dog chasing Spot. She was angry and scared. She shouted at the big dog's owner, who was sitting on a bench and not paying attention. "Control your dog! He bit my daughter and my puppy!" + +The big dog's owner looked up and saw what was happening. He was not compassionate. He did not care. He said, "So what? It's just a bite. Your puppy probably deserved it. He was too noisy and annoying." + +Anna's mom was shocked and furious. She wanted to say something, but she had to take care of Anna. She wrapped her hand in a cloth and called for help. She hoped Spot was okay and that someone would find him. She hugged Anna and told her she loved her. + +Anna cried and cried. She felt hurt and sad. She missed her puppy. She wished the big dog had never come to the park. She wished the big dog's owner had been compassionate.

She talked like the dictionary. She said, "No, I am not a baby. I am three years old. I like to read the dictionary. It is a modern book with many words." + +The boy laughed and said, "The dictionary is not a modern book. It is a boring book for old people. You are silly and weird.

He said, "I'll fix your bowl, Lila. I'll use some glue and tape and make it look like new. Then you can play with it again." + +He worked hard to fix the bowl, but it was not easy. Some pieces were too small or too sharp. He cut his finger and said, "Ow!" He asked Lila for a band-aid and she gave him one. She also gave him a kiss and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." + +Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lila. You are a good sister." He finished fixing the bowl and gave it to Lila.

It is rare and special!" + +Ben tried to calm her down. "Don't cry, Lily. Maybe we can ask the neighbor to give it back to us. Come on, let's go knock on his door." + +They walked to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door. A man opened it. He was holding their avocado ball. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Is this your ball?" + +"Yes, sir!" Ben said. "We are sorry, we lost it over the fence. Can we have it back, please?" + +The man smiled. "Sure, you can have it back. But first, can you tell me why you like this ball so much?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They thought for a moment. + +"Because it is green and round and soft," Ben said. + +"Because it looks like an avocado and we love avocados," Lily said. + +The man nodded. "I see. Well, I like avocados too. They are healthy and tasty. But you know what? They are also rare and precious. They don't grow everywhere, and they need a lot of water and care. Sometimes, they are hard to find and expensive to buy. So you should not waste them or lose them. You should appreciate them and share them with others." + +Ben and Lily listened to the man. They felt a little ashamed. They realized they had not been careful with their avocado ball. They had taken it for granted. + +"Thank you, sir," Ben said. "We are sorry for losing our ball. We will be more careful next time. And we will share our ball with our friends." + +"Yes, thank you, sir," Lily said. "We learned our lesson.

"Grandma, grandma!" + +Grandma heard them and came to the attic. She saw the monster and the open chest. She was angry and sad. She took a broom and hit the monster. It ran back to the chest and locked itself in. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done?" she said. "You opened the chest that I told you not to. You freed the monster that I trapped long ago. You were ignorant and foolish. You could have been hurt or worse." + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They cried and hugged grandma. They said they were sorry and that they would never open the chest again.
