Look, I can jump from here to there!" + +Tim jumped from one part of the roof to another. He landed on a loose tile. The tile broke and Tim slipped. He screamed as he fell off the roof. + +"Tim!" Jen shouted. She ran to the edge of the roof and looked down. She saw Tim lying on the ground, not moving. She saw blood and bones. She saw Mom and Dad running out of the house, crying and yelling. + +Jen wished she had never climbed the ladder. She wished she had listened to Jen. She wished Tim was okay. She was very sorry and very scared. She wanted to go down, but she didn't know how. She was stuck on the roof. She cried and cried. +Sam was a hungry boy. He liked to eat many things, but his favorite was beans. He liked beans with cheese, beans with rice, beans with bread, and beans with eggs. He always asked his mom for beans when she cooked. + +One day, Sam saw a big jar of beans on the shelf. He wanted to eat them right away. He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy and too far. He could not get it. He felt sad and angry. + +He saw his dog, Spot, lying on the floor. He had an idea. He urged Spot to help him. He said, "Spot, Spot, come here. Help me get the beans. I am hungry. You are hungry too. We can share the beans. Come on, Spot, please." + +Spot heard Sam and wagged his tail. He liked Sam and wanted to make him happy. He also liked beans. He got up and went to the chair. He jumped on the chair and pushed the jar with his nose. The jar moved a little bit, but not enough. + +Sam and Spot tried again and again. They pushed and pulled and nudged and barked. But the jar was too heavy and too far. They could not get it. They felt tired and frustrated. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Sam's mom. She said, "What are you two doing? You are making a mess. You cannot have the beans now. They are for dinner. Come down from the chair and wash your hands. I have a surprise for you." + +Sam and Spot looked at each other. They felt curious and hopeful. They got down from the chair and followed Sam's mom. She took them to the kitchen and showed them a plate of cookies. She said, "These are for you. You can have one each. They are sweet and yummy. But you have to wait for the beans. They are cooking on the stove. They will be ready soon. Then we can all eat them together." + +Sam and Spot smiled and licked their lips. They thanked Sam's mom and took a cookie each. They ate them and felt happy. They decided to wait for the beans. They knew they would be worth it. They loved beans. And they loved each other. +Sara and Ben are hungry. They want to eat pasta for lunch. Mom is busy. She says, "I have to work. You can make pasta by yourself. But be careful. Do not touch the hot stove." + +Sara and Ben go to the kitchen. They find a pot and some pasta. They fill the pot with water. They put the pot on the stove. They turn on the stove. They wait for the water to boil. + +They hear a loud noise. It is the phone. Mom answers the phone. She talks for a long time. She does not see Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben are bored. They want to play. They see a ball. They throw the ball to each other. They have fun. They forget about the pasta. + +The water boils. The pasta cooks. The pasta overcooks. The pasta burns. The pot smokes. The smoke fills the kitchen. The smoke alarm beeps. + +Mom hears the beep. She drops the phone. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the smoke. She sees the pot. She sees Sara and Ben. She is angry. She is scared. She says, "What have you done? You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourself! You did not listen to me! You are bad!" + +Sara and Ben are sad. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to eat pasta. We wanted to play. We did not mean to make a mess. We did not hear the pot. We did not hear the alarm. We are bad." + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I am glad you are safe. But you have to learn. You have to be careful. You have to listen. You have to follow the rules. Or you will get in trouble. Or you will get hurt. Or you will hurt someone else. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will be careful. We will listen. We will follow the rules. We will be good." + +Mom says, "Good. Now let's clean up this mess. And then we will make some new pasta. And then we will eat. And then we will play. Together." + +The end. + +Moral value: Listen to your parents and follow the rules, or you will get in trouble or hurt yourself or someone else. + +Foreshadowing or setup and payoff: Mom warns Sara and Ben not to touch the hot stove, but they do. Mom is busy on the phone, but she hears the smoke alarm. Sara and Ben forget about the pasta, but they see the smoke. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play games. One day, they played a game with oranges. They each had an orange and they had to roll it to a yellow line on the grass. The one who rolled their orange to the line first would win. + +Lily rolled her orange very fast and it reached the line before Tom's orange. She was happy and shouted, "I win, I win!" + +Tom was sad and said, "That's not fair, your orange was bigger than mine." + +Lily looked at Tom's orange and saw that it was smaller and had a brown spot. She felt sorry for him and said, "You're right, Tom, your orange was not as good as mine. Do you want to trade oranges and play again?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, please, Lily, that's very nice of you. Thank you for sharing your orange with me." + +They traded oranges and played again. This time, Tom rolled his orange to the line first and he was happy. He said, "I win, I win!" + +Lily was not sad and said, "Good job, Tom, you rolled your orange very well. I'm happy for you." + +They hugged and ate their oranges together. They learned that sharing and being kind to each other was more fun than winning. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toy soldiers. They liked to pretend they were in a big war and make noises with their mouths. They hid behind the trees and the swings and threw pebbles at each other. + +"Bang! Bang! You're dead, Tom!" Lily shouted, as she threw a pebble at Tom's soldier. + +"No, I'm not! You missed, Lily!" Tom shouted back, as he threw a pebble at Lily's soldier. + +They were having fun, until they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big, scary dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It barked and growled and chased them. + +"Help! Help! It's a monster!" Lily screamed, as she dropped her soldier and ran away. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom yelled, as he followed her. He also dropped his soldier and panicked. + +They ran as fast as they could, but the dog was faster. It was almost catching them, when they saw a man in a uniform. He was a real soldier, with a hat and a gun. He saw the children and the dog and shouted. + +"Hey, stop! That's my dog! He won't hurt you, he's just playing!" + +He whistled and the dog stopped. He ran to the man and licked his face. The man smiled and petted the dog. + +"Sorry, kids, he didn't mean to scare you. He's a good dog, but he likes to chase things. What are your names?" + +Lily and Tom were still scared, but they saw that the dog was not a monster. They saw that the man was nice and friendly. They stopped running and answered. + +"I'm Lily, and this is Tom. We were playing with our toy soldiers." + +The man nodded and picked up their toy soldiers. He gave them back to the children and said. + +"I see. I like toy soldiers too. I used to play with them when I was your age. Do you want to play with me and my dog? His name is Rex. He's a soldier dog. He helps me find bad guys and bombs." + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They liked the idea of playing with a real soldier and a soldier dog. They forgot their fear and followed the man and the dog. They played in the park until it was time to go home. They thanked the man and the dog and said goodbye. They learned that not all scary things are bad, and that sometimes they can make new friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big bus on the street. It was red and shiny and had many seats. They wanted to ride the bus, but they had no money. + +"Let's sell some of our toys and buy a ticket," Tom said. "We have too many toys anyway." + +Lily agreed. They took some of their toys and went to the park. They saw a man who was selling ice cream. He looked humble and kind. + +"Hello, sir," Lily said. "Do you want to buy some of our toys? We want to ride the bus." + +The man smiled and nodded. He looked at their toys and picked one. It was Lily's favorite doll. She loved it very much, but she wanted to ride the bus more. + +"OK, I'll buy this doll for one dollar," the man said. He gave Lily a dollar and took the doll. + +"Thank you, sir," Lily said. She and Tom ran to the bus stop. They were happy and excited. + +But when they got there, they saw that the bus had left. They had missed it. They felt sad and angry. They had sold their toys for nothing. + +They looked at the dollar in Lily's hand. It was not enough to buy another ticket. They had no more toys to sell. They had nothing. + +They wished they had not sold their toys. They wished they had kept their doll. They wished they had played with their toys instead of chasing the bus. They learned a hard lesson. They cried and hugged each other. They went home. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom was making a blueberry pie for dessert. She asked Lily and Ben to wash the blueberries and put them in a big bowl. + +Lily and Ben ran to the sink and turned on the water. They took turns to pick up the blueberries and rinse them under the faucet. They counted the blueberries as they put them in the bowl. "One, two, three, four, five..." Lily said. "Six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." Ben said. + +When they finished, they carried the bowl to the counter, where mom was rolling out the dough. She smiled and thanked them for their help. She poured the blueberries over the dough and sprinkled some sugar and cinnamon on top. Then she covered the pie with another layer of dough and made some holes with a fork. + +"Can we put the pie in the oven, mom?" Lily asked. "No, sweetie, the oven is very hot and you might get hurt. You can watch me do it, but stay back, okay?" mom said. She opened the oven door and slid the pie inside. She set the timer and closed the door. + +Lily and Ben waited patiently for the pie to bake. They could smell the sweet and spicy aroma of the blueberries and the dough. They licked their lips and rubbed their tummies. They heard the timer beep and saw mom take out the pie. It looked golden and bubbly. + +"Wow, mom, you made a beautiful pie!" Ben said. "Can we have some now?" Lily asked. "Not yet, honey, the pie is still very hot. We have to let it cool down a bit. Why don't you go and play for a while, and I'll call you when it's ready?" mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to their room. They played with their toys and books, but they also kept an eye on the clock. They were very hungry and excited for the blueberry pie. They hoped they could manage to wait until mom called them. They knew it would be worth it. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big cart that they could push and fill with things. They liked to pretend they were going to the market to sell their toys. + +"Look, I have a ring!" Lily said, showing Tom a shiny thing on her finger. "It is very pretty and sparkly. I am rich!" + +"Where did you get it?" Tom asked, curious. + +"I found it in the cart. It was under a teddy bear. Maybe someone left it there by mistake," Lily said. + +"Or maybe it is magic!" Tom said, excited. "Maybe it can grant wishes. Can I try it?" + +Lily nodded and gave Tom the ring. He put it on his finger and closed his eyes. + +"I wish for a big cake!" he said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They opened their eyes and saw a big cake on the table. It had icing and candles and fruits on top. + +"Wow! It worked!" Tom said, amazed. + +"Let's go and eat it!" Lily said, happy. + +They ran to the table and started to cut the cake. They did not notice that the ring was still on Tom's finger. They did not notice that it was glowing and making a soft ringing sound. They did not notice that someone was watching them from behind a bush. Someone who wanted the ring back. Someone who was not very nice. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were fairies and wizards. Anna had a fake wand made of a twig. She waved it at Ben and said, "I will turn you into a frog!" + +Ben laughed and said, "No, you won't! You are a silly fairy. Your wand is not real. It is just a twig. You can't do magic with a twig." + +Anna was angry. She did not like Ben calling her silly and her wand fake. She threw the twig at Ben and hit him on the head. Ben cried and ran to his mom. + +Anna's mom saw what happened. She was not happy. She went to Anna and said, "Anna, that was not nice. You hurt Ben with your twig. You have to say sorry to him. And you have to behave. You can't throw things at people. That is bad." + +Anna felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She just wanted to play. She went to Ben and said, "Ben, I am sorry. I did not want to make you cry. Can we be friends again? Can we play fairies and wizards again?" + +Ben wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "OK, Anna. I am sorry too. I should not have called you silly and your wand fake. It is a nice wand. Can I borrow it?" + +Anna nodded and gave Ben her twig. They hugged and went back to play. They behaved and had fun. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. They pretended that the dolls were having a tea party with cookies and cakes. Anna poured some tea from a plastic pot into a cup and gave it to Ben's doll. + +"Here you are, Mrs. Daisy. Do you like your tea?" Anna asked in a high voice. + +"Thank you, Miss Lily. Your tea is very yummy," Ben answered in a low voice. + +They were having fun until they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who had dropped a plate on the floor. Anna and Ben paused and looked at each other. They wondered if their mom was okay. + +"Are you okay, Mommy?" Anna called out. + +"I'm okay, sweeties. I'm just a little embarrassed. I was trying to make a cake for you, but I was clumsy and broke a plate. I'm sorry for the noise," their mom said. + +"It's okay, Mommy. We love you. Can we help you with the cake?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. Come to the kitchen, but be careful of the broken pieces. I'll clean them up later," their mom said. + +Anna and Ben left their dolls and ran to the kitchen. They hugged their mom and helped her with the cake. They forgot about the tea party, but they didn't mind. They were happy to be with their mom. +Anna loved to play the piano. She had a small piano at home, but it was not very loud or nice. She wanted to play a big piano, like the one at school. The big piano had many keys and made great sounds. + +One day, Anna had an idea. She asked her teacher if she could borrow the big piano for a little while. Her teacher said yes, but only if she was careful and did not make too much noise. Anna was very happy and thanked her teacher. + +She went to the music room and found the big piano. She sat on the stool and touched the keys. She played some songs that she knew, and some songs that she made up. She felt great and smiled. She liked the big piano very much. + +She played for a long time, until she heard a knock on the door. It was her teacher, who came to check on her. She said, "Anna, you play very well. But it is time to go back to the classroom. You have to share the big piano with other children." + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, teacher. Thank you for letting me borrow the big piano. It was great. Can I play it again another day?" + +Her teacher smiled and said, "Of course, Anna. You are welcome to play the big piano anytime, as long as you ask first and follow the rules. Now, let's go back to the classroom and join your friends." + +Anna got off the stool and closed the lid of the big piano. She waved goodbye to the big piano and followed her teacher. She was happy and proud. She had played the big piano and it was great. +Lily and Sam like to play with shapes. They have a box of shapes that are red, blue, yellow and green. They have circles, squares, triangles and stars. Lily and Sam take turns to throw a shape in the air and catch it. + +"Look, Sam, I can catch a red star!" Lily says. She throws the star high and catches it with her hands. + +"Wow, Lily, you are good at catching stars!" Sam says. He picks up a blue circle and throws it to Lily. "Can you catch this?" + +Lily tries to catch the circle, but it is too fast. It rolls away on the floor. Lily runs after it. "Wait, circle, come back!" she says. + +Sam laughs and runs after Lily. He sees a tall shelf with books and toys on it. He sees a yellow triangle on the shelf. He wants to catch the triangle. He jumps and reaches for it. + +But the shelf is too tall for Sam. He cannot catch the triangle. He bumps the shelf and makes it shake. The books and toys fall down from the shelf. They make a loud noise. + +"Oh no, Sam, what did you do?" Lily says. She stops running and looks at the mess. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I wanted to catch the triangle," Sam says. He feels sad. + +Lily sees Sam's sad face. She feels sorry for him. She picks up the yellow triangle from the floor and gives it to Sam. "It's okay, Sam, we can catch the triangle together," she says. + +Sam smiles and hugs Lily. "Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend," he says. + +They hug the triangle and then start to pick up the books and toys. They put them back on the shelf. They are careful not to bump the shelf again. They are happy to play with shapes. +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from Mommy or Daddy. One day, she wanted to go outside and play in the snow. She put on her boots, her hat, and her mittens. But she could not find her sweater. She looked everywhere in her room, but it was not there. + +She went to Mommy and asked, "Mommy, where is my sweater?" + +Mommy was busy in the kitchen and said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it in the living room or the laundry room. Why don't you go and look there?" + +Lily did not like that answer. She wanted Mommy to find her sweater for her. She said, "No, Mommy, you find it. I want to go outside now." + +Mommy frowned and said, "Lily, that is not a nice way to talk to me. You are a big girl and you can look for your sweater by yourself. I am making lunch and I can't stop right now. Please go and look for your sweater and then you can go outside." + +Lily was angry and stomped away. She did not want to look for her sweater by herself. She wanted Mommy to do it. She went to the living room and saw her brother Tommy playing with his trucks. She asked him, "Tommy, do you know where my sweater is?" + +Tommy looked up and said, "Yes, I do. I took it this morning because I was cold. It is in my room. You can have it back if you want." + +Lily was shocked and said, "Tommy, that is not fair. That is my sweater. You should have asked me first. Give it back to me now." + +Tommy said, "No, I like it. It is warm and cozy. You can't have it. Go away." + +Lily and Tommy started to fight over the sweater. They pulled and tugged and yelled at each other. Mommy heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw them fighting and said, "Stop it, both of you. What is going on here?" + +Lily and Tommy told Mommy what happened. Mommy was not happy. She said, "Tommy, you should not take Lily's sweater without asking. That is not nice. You have to give it back to her and say sorry. Lily, you should not yell at Tommy or Mommy. That is not polite. You have to say sorry too. And you have to learn to look for your things by yourself. You are a big girl and you can be independent." + +Lily and Tommy felt bad. They said sorry to each other and to Mommy. They hugged and made up. Mommy gave Lily her sweater and said, "Now you can go outside and play in the snow. But remember to be nice and respectful to each other and to me. And remember to be independent and responsible for your things. I love you both." + +Lily and Tommy said, "We love you too, Mommy." They put on their sweaters and went outside to play in the snow. They had fun and did not fight anymore. They were happy and independent. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys in their room. One day, they decided to be kings and queens of a land they made up. They put on robes and crowns and sat on their bed, which was their throne. + +"Hello, King Tom," said Lily. "How are you today?" + +"I am good, Queen Lily," said Tom. "But I have a problem. There is another king who wants to take our land. He is mean and scary." + +"Oh no, King Tom," said Lily. "What can we do?" + +"We have to unite with our friends and fight him," said Tom. "We have to be brave and strong." + +"OK, King Tom," said Lily. "But who are our friends?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He looked around the room and saw their stuffed animals. He picked up a bear, a lion, a monkey and a rabbit. He gave them to Lily. + +"These are our friends," he said. "They will help us. They are loyal and smart and fierce." + +Lily smiled and hugged the animals. She put them on the bed next to her and Tom. + +"Thank you, King Tom," she said. "You are a good king. And these are good friends. I feel comfortable with them." + +They played for a while, making up stories and voices for their animal friends. They pretended to fight the other king and win. They cheered and celebrated. They had fun and felt happy. They were kings and queens of a land they made up. And they were united. +Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was behind it. + +"Let's go, Tom," Mia said. "It looks fun." + +"I don't know, Mia," Tom said. "Mom said we should not go out of the yard. It might be dangerous." + +But Mia did not listen. She crawled through the hole. Tom followed her. He did not want to be alone. + +They found a big park behind the fence. It had swings and slides and a pond. They ran and played and laughed. They forgot about Mom and the yard. + +But then the sun went down. It became dark and cold. Tom and Mia could not see the hole in the fence anymore. They were lost and scared. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Mia said. She started to cry. + +"Me too, Mia," Tom said. He hugged her. "I'm sorry we came here. I regret it." + +They heard a loud bark. A big dog came out of the bushes. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It ran towards them. + +Tom and Mia screamed. They wished Mom was here. They wished they had listened to her. They wished they had never left the yard. +Tim and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat some soup. Mom said she would make them soup, but they had to help her. She said they would learn how to make soup. + +Mom gave Tim and Lily a big pot and some water. She told them to fill the pot with water and put it on the stove. Tim and Lily did what Mom said. They used a cup to pour water into the pot. The pot was enormous. It was bigger than Tim and Lily. + +Mom gave Tim and Lily some carrots and potatoes. She told them to wash them and cut them. Tim and Lily did what Mom said. They used a knife to cut the carrots and potatoes. They were careful not to cut themselves. They put the carrots and potatoes into the pot. + +Mom gave Tim and Lily some salt and pepper. She told them to add some to the pot. Tim and Lily did what Mom said. They used a spoon to sprinkle some salt and pepper into the pot. They stirred the pot with the spoon. + +Mom said the soup was ready. She told Tim and Lily to turn off the stove and get some bowls. Tim and Lily did what Mom said. They used a ladle to fill their bowls with soup. The soup was hot and yummy. + +Tim and Lily said, "Thank you, Mom. We learned how to make soup. We like soup." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Tim and Lily. You did a good job. I'm proud of you." +Lily was a gifted girl. She could draw, sing and dance very well. She liked to show her skills to her family and friends. One day, she made a big picture for her mom. She used many colors and shapes. She was very proud of her picture. + +She wanted to surprise her mom with her picture. She hid it under her bed. She waited for her mom to come home from work. She heard her mom's car in the driveway. She ran downstairs to greet her mom. + +"Hi, mom! I have something for you!" Lily said. + +"Hi, sweetie! What is it?" her mom asked. + +Lily smiled and said, "It's a secret. You have to close your eyes and follow me." + +Her mom closed her eyes and held Lily's hand. Lily led her mom upstairs to her room. She told her mom to lie down on her bed. She ran to get her picture from under her bed. She put it on her mom's chest. + +"Okay, mom. You can open your eyes now!" Lily said. + +Her mom opened her eyes and saw the picture. She gasped and smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "Wow, Lily! This is a beautiful picture! You are so gifted! Thank you for this wonderful gift!" + +Lily beamed and said, "You're welcome, mom! I love you!" + +"I love you too, Lily!" her mom said. They cuddled on the bed and looked at the picture together. They were very happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers. Some are red, some are yellow, some are pink. They smell good. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily says. "This flower is white. It is not like the others. It is small and round." + +Ben comes closer. He sees the white flower. It is in a green stem. It has many petals. He touches it gently. + +"It is soft, Lily. It is like a ball of cotton. What is its name?" Ben asks. + +Lily shrugs. She does not know. She looks around. She sees a sign. It has a picture of the white flower and some words. + +"Maybe the sign can tell us," Lily says. She points to the sign. "Can you read it, Ben?" + +Ben shakes his head. He cannot read. He only knows some letters. He tries to sound out the words. + +"Snow...drop," Ben says slowly. "Is that its name? Snowdrop?" + +Lily nods. She likes the name. It sounds pretty. She remembers the snow. It is white and cold. It falls from the sky in winter. + +"Snowdrop," Lily repeats. "It is a nice name. But why is it here? It is not winter. It is spring." + +Ben thinks. He remembers what his mom told him. She likes flowers. She knows many things. + +"Mom says some flowers bloom in spring. They start to grow when it is warm. They make the garden beautiful. Maybe the snowdrop is one of them," Ben says. + +Lily smiles. She likes the idea. She thinks the snowdrop is special. It blooms in spring. It is white and soft. It is different from the others. + +"Let's make a wish, Ben," Lily says. "Let's wish for more snowdrops. They are our favorite flowers." + +Ben agrees. He closes his eyes. He makes a wish. He hopes it will come true. + +They open their eyes. They see the white flower. It is still there. It is still small and round. It is still soft and pretty. + +They are happy. They hug each other. They thank the snowdrop. They hope it will bloom again. +Lily wanted to have a party. She liked to play with her friends and eat cake. She asked her mom to help her invite some friends. Mom said yes and gave her some cards. Lily wrote her name and drew some hearts on the cards. She was happy. + +She gave the cards to her friends at school. She invited Ben, Mia, Sam and Zoe. They said thank you and smiled. Lily was excited. She told them to come to her house on Saturday. She said there would be games and balloons and candy. They said they would come. + +But on Saturday, no one came. Lily waited and waited. She looked out the window. She saw cars and bikes and people, but not her friends. She asked her mom where they were. Mom said she did not know. She said maybe they forgot or had other plans. Lily felt sad. She felt worry in her tummy. She felt confused in her head. Why did they not come? Did they not like her? Did she do something wrong? + +She cried and cried. She did not want to play or eat or talk. She just wanted her friends. She felt lonely and angry. She wished she never invited them. She wished she had different friends. She wished she had a different party. She wished she had a different day. She had a bad day. She had a bad party. She had a bad ending. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park and make up stories. One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was very bright and had many colors. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +Max nodded. He remembered something his mom had told him. "Do you know what is at the end of the rainbow?" he asked Lily. + +Lily shook her head. She did not know. + +Max smiled. "There is a pot of gold!" he said. "And a leprechaun who guards it. He is a small man who wears green and has a funny hat." + +Lily's eyes widened. She had never heard of a leprechaun before. "Really?" she asked. "How do you know?" + +Max shrugged. "My mom told me. She said it is a fairy tale, but I believe it is true. Do you want to find the pot of gold with me?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious and excited. She believed Max. She wanted to see the leprechaun and the gold. "Yes, let's go!" she said. + +They ran towards the rainbow, holding hands. They did not see the sign that said "Keep off the grass". They did not hear the park ranger who shouted at them. They only saw the rainbow and their dream. + +They ran and ran, but the rainbow seemed to move away from them. They did not understand why. They did not know that rainbows are not real things, but only reflections of light and water. They did not know that they could never reach the end of the rainbow. + +They were tired and thirsty, but they did not give up. They kept running, hoping to find the pot of gold and the leprechaun. They did not know that they were in for a big surprise. + +They reached a hill and climbed it. They thought they were close to the rainbow. They thought they would see the leprechaun and the gold. But what they saw was something else. + +They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Circus". They saw clowns and elephants and acrobats and lions. They saw balloons and popcorn and cotton candy. They saw people laughing and cheering and clapping. + +They stopped and stared. They could not believe their eyes. It was incredible. It was not what they expected, but it was better. It was a result of their adventure. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had found something more fun than a pot of gold. They had found the circus. They had found a new story to tell. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big brown box. They want to make a house with the box. Lily has scissors. She can cut the box. + +"Tom, help me cut the box. We need a door and a window," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. I will help you. Be careful with the scissors. They are sharp," Tom says. + +They cut the box together. They make a door and a window. They are happy. They have a house. + +They go inside the house. They pretend to cook and eat. They have fun. + +Lily has an idea. She takes a paper and a crayon. She writes a message on the paper. She writes: "This is our house. We are Lily and Tom. We are friends." + +She puts the message on the door. She smiles. + +"Look, Tom. I made a message. It says who we are and that we are friends," Lily says. + +"Wow, Lily. You are smart. I like your message. I like our house. I like you," Tom says. + +They hug. They are happy. They have a house and a message and a friend. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big building. It has many windows and doors. It looks old and empty. + +"Let's go inside and explore!" Tom says. He smiles. He likes to find new things. + +"OK, but be careful!" Jen says. She is a little scared. She does not know what is in the building. + +They walk to the building. They open a door. It is dark and dusty. They see some chairs and tables. They see some books and toys. They see some pictures and paintings. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Tom says. He picks up a book. It has many colors and words. He tries to read it. + +"Look at this toy!" Jen says. She finds a doll. It has a dress and a hat. She likes it. + +They play with the book and the doll. They have fun. They forget where they are. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a roar. They look up. They see a big animal. It has fur and teeth. It looks wild and angry. + +"Run!" Tom says. He drops the book. He grabs Jen's hand. They run to the door. + +The animal chases them. It is fast and strong. It wants to catch them. + +They reach the door. They push it. It is stuck. They are trapped. + +They scream. They are afraid. + +Then, they hear another noise. It sounds like a horn. They see a car. It is red and shiny. It has a sign. It says "Animal Control". + +A man gets out of the car. He has a net and a gun. He sees the animal. He sees Tom and Jen. + +"Don't worry, kids!" he says. "I'm here to help. Stay calm and quiet. I'll get you out of there." + +He throws the net over the animal. He shoots the gun. It makes a loud bang. The animal falls down. It is asleep. + +He opens the door. He lets Tom and Jen out. They run to him. They hug him. They are safe. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they say. They smile. They are happy. + +"You're welcome, kids!" he says. He smiles too. He is glad. + +He puts the animal in the car. He drives away. He takes the animal to a zoo. He gives it a home. + +Tom and Jen go back to their parents. They tell them what happened. They are sorry. They promise to be more careful. + +They learn a lesson. They never go to the building again. They play outside. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben liked to swim in the pool. They pretended to be pirates and looked for treasure. They had a big box with shiny things and coins. They said "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and laughed a lot. + +One day, Mom said they had to be tidy and put away their toys. Lily and Ben did not want to. They said they were busy with their pirate game. Mom said they could play later, but they had to clean up first. Lily and Ben said "No!" and ran away. + +Mom was not happy. She had a plan. She took the big box with the shiny things and coins and hid it under the bed. She said to herself, "Let's see how they like that." + +Lily and Ben came back to the pool. They looked for their big box, but they could not find it. They asked each other, "Where is our treasure?" They searched everywhere, but it was gone. They were sad and confused. + +They went to Mom and asked her, "Mom, where is our treasure? Did someone take it?" Mom said, "Maybe it was another pirate. Maybe he was more tidy than you and put it away." Lily and Ben said, "Oh no! How can we get it back?" Mom said, "Maybe you can find a clue if you tidy up your room." + +Lily and Ben realized they had been tricked. They said, "Mom, you are so clever. You hid our treasure, didn't you?" Mom said, "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. You'll have to find out for yourself." Lily and Ben said, "OK, we will tidy up our room and then we will find our treasure." Mom said, "That's a good idea. And then you can swim in the pool again and play your pirate game." Lily and Ben said, "Yay!" and ran to their room. Mom smiled and said, "That's my little pirates." +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a lot of fog in the air. They cannot see the trees or the birds very well. + +"Look, Sam, fog!" Tom says. "It is like a big cloud on the ground." + +"Can we touch it?" Sam asks. He runs towards the fog. + +"Be careful, Sam!" Tom says. He follows his brother. + +They reach the fog and feel it with their hands. It is cold and wet. They laugh and make shapes with their breath. + +Suddenly, they smell something bad. They see smoke and fire in the fog. It is coming from a house near the park. + +"Fire, fire!" Tom shouts. "It is burning the house!" + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sam says. He is scared of the fire. + +They run away from the fog and the fire. They find their mom and dad, who are waiting for them in the car. + +"What happened, boys?" Mom asks. "Why are you so wet and dirty?" + +"There was fog and fire in the park, Mom," Tom says. "It was rare and scary." + +"We saw a house burning, Mom," Sam says. "It was very bad." + +Mom and Dad hug them and say they are brave. They drive away from the park and the fog and the fire. They go home and have hot chocolate and cookies. They are happy and safe. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toy kitchen. They want to make a cake for their mom. They have a bowl, a spoon, some flour, some sugar, some eggs and some milk. + +"First, we need to measure the flour," Tom says. He takes a cup and fills it with flour. He pours it into the bowl. "One cup of flour." + +"Good job, Tom," Mia says. She takes another cup and fills it with sugar. She pours it into the bowl. "One cup of sugar." + +"Next, we need to crack the eggs," Tom says. He takes an egg and taps it on the edge of the bowl. He tries to open it, but it slips from his hand and falls on the floor. "Oops!" + +"Uh-oh, Tom, you made a mess," Mia says. She takes another egg and cracks it carefully. She opens it and puts it in the bowl. "One egg." + +"Sorry, Mia," Tom says. He takes a paper towel and wipes the floor. He takes another egg and cracks it. He puts it in the bowl. "Two eggs." + +"Last, we need to add some milk," Mia says. She takes a bottle of milk and opens it. She pours some milk into the bowl. "Some milk." + +"Now, we need to mix everything," Tom says. He takes a spoon and stirs the bowl. "Mix, mix, mix." + +"Let me help you, Tom," Mia says. She takes another spoon and stirs the bowl. "Mix, mix, mix." + +They mix the bowl until the batter is smooth and creamy. They are very proud of their cake. + +"Mom will love our cake," Tom says. + +"Yes, she will," Mia says. + +They take the bowl and go to the oven. They open the oven door and put the bowl inside. They close the oven door and turn the knob. + +"Be careful, Tom, the oven is hot," Mia says. + +"I know, Mia, I am careful," Tom says. + +They wait for the cake to bake. They smell the cake and it smells yummy. + +"Is the cake ready, Tom?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know, Mia, how can we tell?" Tom asks. + +"We need to shake the cake," Mia says. She takes a mitt and opens the oven door. She takes the bowl and shakes it gently. "Shake, shake, shake." + +"What are you doing, Mia?" Tom asks. + +"I am shaking the cake, Tom," Mia says. "If the cake is done, it will not jiggle. If the cake is not done, it will jiggle." + +"Does the cake jiggle, Mia?" Tom asks. + +"No, Tom, the cake does not jiggle," Mia says. "The cake is done." + +"Yay, Mia, we made a cake!" Tom says. + +They take the cake out of the oven and put it on the table. They let it cool down a bit. They are very excited to eat the cake. + +"Mom, mom, we made a cake for you!" Tom and Mia shout. + +Mom comes to the kitchen and sees the cake. She smiles and hugs Tom and Mia. + +"Wow, you made a cake for me? That is so sweet of you," Mom says. "You are such good chefs." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Mia say. + +"Can we eat the cake now, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Of course, we can, Tom," Mom says. "But first, we need to cut the cake and share it." + +"Okay, Mom," Tom says. + +Mom takes a knife and cuts the cake into four pieces. She gives one piece to Tom, one piece to Mia, one piece to herself and one piece to Dad, who comes to the kitchen too. + +"Hi, Dad, we made a cake for you too," Mia says. + +"Hi, Mia, you did? That is so nice of you," Dad says. "You are such good chefs." + +"Thank you, Dad," Mia says. + +They all sit at the table and eat the cake. The cake is delicious and they all enjoy it. + +"Tom, Mia, you made a wonderful cake," Mom says. "You followed the recipe very well. You measured the ingredients, you cracked the eggs, you added the milk, you mixed the batter, you baked the cake and you shook the cake. You were very serious and careful." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Mia say. + +"We had fun, Mom," Tom says. + +"We love you, Mom," Mia says. + +"I love you too, Tom and Mia," Mom says. "You are the best." +Sam liked to design things with his hose. He would turn on the water and make shapes and patterns on the grass and the dirt. He would pretend he was a painter or a builder or a gardener. He had a lot of fun with his hose. + +One day, he saw a bird on the fence. It was a blue bird with a yellow beak. It looked very pretty and peaceful. Sam wanted to make friends with the bird. He said, "Hello, bird. Do you want to see my hose? I can design things for you." + +The bird looked at Sam and tilted its head. It did not say anything. Sam thought maybe the bird was shy. He decided to show the bird his hose anyway. He turned on the water and made a circle on the grass. He said, "Look, bird. This is a circle. It is round and smooth. Do you like it?" + +The bird nodded and chirped. It seemed to like the circle. Sam was happy. He made another shape on the dirt. He said, "Look, bird. This is a square. It has four sides and four corners. Do you like it?" + +The bird nodded and chirped again. It seemed to like the square. Sam was happier. He made another shape on the grass. He said, "Look, bird. This is a heart. It is a sign of love and friendship. Do you like it?" + +The bird nodded and chirped louder. It seemed to like the heart. Sam was the happiest. He said, "Bird, you are my friend. I like you. Do you want to play with me and my hose?" + +The bird nodded and flew down from the fence. It landed on Sam's shoulder and nuzzled his cheek. Sam smiled and hugged the bird. He said, "You are the best friend ever. Let's play and design more things with my hose." + +They played and designed things with the hose until the sun went down. They had a lot of fun and laughter. They were very peaceful and happy. They were the best friends ever. +Anna liked to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her. She played it every day in her room. She made songs with the violin. She was happy. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her violin with her. She wanted to play it for the birds and the flowers. She saw a big tree with a bench. She ran to the bench and put her violin on it. She said to her mom and dad, "I will play for you here. Wait for me." + +Anna played her violin on the bench. She made a nice song. She saw the birds and the flowers listen to her. She smiled. She did not see a big dog come near the bench. The dog was hungry. He smelled the violin. He thought it was food. He jumped on the bench and grabbed the violin with his mouth. He ran away with it. + +Anna heard a loud noise. She stopped playing. She looked at the bench. She saw the dog run away with her violin. She screamed. She cried. She ran after the dog. She said, "Give me back my violin! Give me back my violin!" + +But the dog was faster than Anna. He ran to the other side of the park. He found a dry spot under a bush. He bit the violin. He broke it. He ate it. He was full. He was happy. + +Anna could not catch the dog. She lost her violin. She was sad. She was angry. She went back to the bench. She saw her mom and dad. They hugged her. They said, "We are sorry, Anna. We are sorry you lost your violin. We will get you a new one." + +But Anna did not want a new violin. She wanted her old violin. She loved her old violin. She said, "No, no, no. I want my violin. I want my violin." She cried and cried. She had a bad day. She was unhappy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck stopped near their house and a man came out. He had a big smile and a hat. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want some ice-cream?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said together. They ran to the truck and looked at the different flavors. Lily chose chocolate and Tom chose strawberry. The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice-cream on top. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said and paid him with their coins. + +They walked back to their house, licking their ice-cream. It was very yummy and cold. They were happy. + +But when they got to their door, they saw their dog, Spot. Spot was a big, black dog who was very lazy. He liked to sleep on the porch and chase cats. He also liked to eat anything he could find. + +When Spot saw Lily and Tom with their ice-cream, he got up and ran to them. He barked and wagged his tail. He wanted some ice-cream too. + +"Go away, Spot!" Lily said. "This is our ice-cream. You can't have any." + +But Spot did not listen. He jumped on Lily and tried to lick her cone. Lily screamed and dropped her ice-cream. It fell on the ground and melted. + +"Bad dog!" Tom said. He tried to protect his cone, but Spot was too fast. He snatched it from Tom's hand and ate it in one bite. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom cried. He was angry and sad. He had no ice-cream left. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They had no ice-cream and no coins. They were very unhappy. + +They went inside their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. She said she would buy them more ice-cream tomorrow. + +But Lily and Tom did not want to wait. They wanted ice-cream now. They asked their mom if they could have some from the freezer. + +Their mom said no. She said they had to eat their dinner first. She said they had to eat their vegetables and their meat. She said they had to remain at the table until they finished their plates. + +Lily and Tom did not like that. They did not like vegetables or meat. They only liked ice-cream. They made faces and said they were not hungry. + +Their mom said they had to eat or they would get no ice-cream at all. She said they had to be good and not lazy. + +Lily and Tom did not like that either. They did not want to be good or not lazy. They only wanted ice-cream. They started to whine and cry. + +Their mom said they had to stop or they would go to bed early. She said they had to be quiet and polite. + +Lily and Tom did not like that at all. They did not want to be quiet or polite. They only wanted ice-cream. They started to scream and kick. + +Their mom said they had enough. She said they were naughty and spoiled. She said they had to go to their room and think about what they did. + +Lily and Tom did not want to go to their room. They did not want to think about what they did. They only wanted ice-cream. They tried to run away, but their mom caught them. She carried them to their room and closed the door. + +Lily and Tom were in their room. They had no ice-cream and no fun. They were very unhappy. + +They looked at each other and said they were sorry. They said they were mean to Spot and their mom. They said they would eat their dinner and be good. + +They hugged each other and said they loved each other. They said they would share their ice-cream tomorrow. + +They felt a little better. They lay down on their bed and closed their eyes. They dreamed of ice-cream. It was very yummy and cold. They were happy. +Lily and Max were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excite to see the animals. They put on their hats and coats and went outside. Mom called a taxi to take them to the zoo. + +The taxi was yellow and big. It had a sign on top that said "Taxi". The driver was a nice man. He smiled and said hello to Lily and Max. He asked them what animals they wanted to see. Lily said she wanted to see the monkeys. Max said he wanted to see the lions. The driver said he liked the elephants. He told them some fun facts about the animals. + +The taxi drove fast and honked its horn. Lily and Max looked out the window and saw many things. They saw shops and parks and people. They saw a big bridge and a river. They saw a charming castle on a hill. They said wow and ooh and aah. + +Soon they arrived at the zoo. The driver helped them get out of the taxi. He wished them a good day and said goodbye. Mom paid him and thanked him. Lily and Max gave him a hug. They were happy and ready to see the animals. They ran to the gate and showed their tickets. They entered the zoo and had a wonderful time. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes and boats. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. + +"Ben, Lily, time for bed!" their mom called from upstairs. "You have school tomorrow, and you need to be sleepy." + +Ben and Lily did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more. They ignored their mom and kept playing. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud siren outside. They ran to the window and saw a big car with blue and red lights. It was a police car. They saw two men in blue clothes get out of the car and knock on the door of their neighbor's house. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "What are they doing?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe they are here to help someone." + +They watched as the police men talked to their neighbor, who looked scared and sad. They saw the police men go inside the house and come out with a bag and a box. + +"Maybe they are taking something away," Ben said. + +"Maybe they are giving something back," Lily said. + +They were curious and wanted to know more, but they also felt sorry for their neighbor. They wondered what had happened. + +"Ben, Lily, I said time for bed!" their mom called again. "Come on, now!" + +Ben and Lily blinked. They realized they had been watching for a long time. They felt sleepy. They decided to listen to their mom and go to bed. + +They said good night to their toys and put them away. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hugged their mom and climbed into their beds. + +"Mom, can you tell us a story?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, honey, what kind of story do you want?" their mom asked. + +"A story about the police," Lily said. + +"The police?" their mom said. "Why the police?" + +"Because we saw them outside," Ben said. + +"Oh, I see," their mom said. "Well, the police are people who help other people when they have problems. Sometimes they have to take things away or give things back, depending on what the problem is. But they always try to do the right thing and make things better." + +"Like superheroes?" Ben asked. + +"Kind of, yes," their mom said. "But they are also normal people who have families and friends and feelings. They are not always happy or sad. They are just like us." + +"Can we be police when we grow up?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, if you want to," their mom said. "But you have to work hard and be brave and kind. And you have to follow the rules and respect other people." + +"OK, we will," Ben and Lily said. + +"Good," their mom said. "Now, close your eyes and sleep. I love you both very much." + +"Love you too, mom," Ben and Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and slept. They dreamed of being police and helping people. They felt safe and happy. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Lily liked the birds best. They had many colors and made funny sounds. Ben liked the lions best. They were big and strong and had long teeth. + +Then they came to the seal pool. The seals were swimming and playing in the water. They had shiny fur and long whiskers. They made loud noises like "Arf! Arf!" Lily and Ben wanted to see them closer. They climbed on the fence and looked down. + +"Look, Lily, that seal has a ball!" Ben said. He pointed to a seal that was balancing a red ball on its nose. "It can do tricks!" + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. She saw another seal that was holding a hoop in its mouth. "And that one has a hoop!" + +The seal with the hoop swam to the seal with the ball. It tossed the hoop in the air and the other seal caught it with its nose. Then they switched. The seal with the ball threw it to the seal with the hoop. They did this over and over. + +Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They wanted to join the fun. They looked around and saw a big bucket full of balls and hoops. They were for the zookeepers to give to the seals. + +"Let's get some!" Ben said. He jumped off the fence and ran to the bucket. He grabbed a ball and a hoop. He ran back to the fence and threw them to the seals. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She followed Ben and did the same. She threw a ball and a hoop to the seals. + +The seals were happy. They caught the balls and hoops and played with them. They made more noises like "Arf! Arf!" They thanked Lily and Ben. + +But Mom and Dad were not happy. They saw Lily and Ben throwing things to the seals. They ran to them and pulled them off the fence. + +"Stop that!" Mom said. "You can't do that! You might hurt the seals or make them sick!" + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They looked sad. They didn't mean to be bad. They just wanted to play with the seals. + +Mom and Dad explained to them that the balls and hoops were not toys. They were tools to help the seals learn and stay healthy. They said that only the zookeepers could give them to the seals. They said that Lily and Ben should not climb on the fence or throw things to the animals. They said that they should respect the animals and follow the rules. + +Lily and Ben understood. They said they were sorry again. They said they loved the seals and wanted them to be happy. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said they loved them too. They said they were proud of them for being curious and kind. They said they could still watch the seals and learn from them. They said they could also see other animals and have more fun. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said they wanted to see more animals. They asked if they could see the penguins next. Mom and Dad said yes. They took their hands and walked to the penguin house. The seals waved goodbye with their flippers. Lily and Ben waved back. They had a great day at the zoo. +Lily and Tom were big brother and sister to a new baby. They wanted to see the baby, but Mom said they had to wait. The baby was sleeping in a crib in Mom and Dad's room. + +One day, when Mom and Dad were busy, Lily and Tom had a foolish idea. They decided to sneak into the room and look at the baby. They tiptoed to the door and opened it quietly. They saw the baby lying on a soft blanket, with a tiny hat on his head. + +"Look, he's so cute!" Lily whispered. "Can we touch him?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we can just poke him a little." + +They moved closer to the crib and reached out their hands. But they did not know that the baby was very sensitive. As soon as they touched him, he woke up and started to cry. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom said. "We made him cry!" + +They heard Mom and Dad running to the room. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to hide under the bed, but it was too late. Mom and Dad arrived and saw them. + +"What are you doing here?" Mom asked. "You know you're not supposed to disturb the baby!" + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom said. "We just wanted to see him." + +Mom and Dad sighed. They were not very angry, but they were disappointed. They explained to Lily and Tom that the baby needed a lot of rest and care, and that they had to be gentle and quiet around him. They also told them that they loved them very much, and that they could see the baby when he was awake and happy. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for what they did. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they were sorry. They also said they loved the baby and wanted to be good brother and sister to him. Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them back. They said they were proud of them for being honest and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be foolish and do things that can hurt others. Be respectful and patient, and you will be rewarded with love and happiness. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and have fun. One day, she wandered to the park with her mom and dad. They had a picnic on the grass. Lily ate a sandwich and an orange. She liked the orange. It was sweet and juicy. + +After the picnic, Lily saw a big slide. She wanted to go on it. She asked her mom and dad if she could. They said yes, but told her to be careful. Lily ran to the slide. She climbed up the steps and sat on the top. She was very excited. She slid down very fast. She laughed and shouted. + +But when she got to the bottom, she saw something on her dress. It was orange. It was juice from the orange. It made a big stain. Lily was sad. She did not like the stain. She wanted to clean it. She looked for a napkin. She saw one on the grass. It was near the picnic basket. She ran to get it. + +But the napkin was not a napkin. It was a butterfly. It was orange and black. It was very pretty. It flew away when Lily touched it. Lily was surprised. She followed the butterfly. She wanted to see where it went. She wandered away from the slide. She wandered away from the picnic. She wandered away from her mom and dad. She did not notice. She only saw the butterfly. +Sam and Mia liked to march. They marched in the park, they marched in the house, they marched everywhere. One day, they decided to march to a new place. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees and flowers. They wanted to see what was on the other side. + +They marched up the hill, holding hands and singing. They felt happy and brave. They did not see the sign that said "Keep Out". They did not know that the hill was not a park, but a farm. They did not know that the farmer was not nice, and did not like visitors. + +They marched down the hill, and saw a big barn. They thought it was a fun place to play. They did not hear the dog that was barking. They did not see the farmer that was coming. They did not know that they were in trouble. + +The farmer saw them and yelled. The dog ran after them and bit. Sam and Mia were scared and hurt. They dropped their hands and ran. They did not know where to go. They wished they had not marched to the unknown place. + +They ran and ran, until they saw a fence. They climbed over it and found a road. They saw a car that looked like their mom's. They waved and cried. The car stopped and their mom got out. She hugged them and asked what happened. They told her everything. She was angry and sad. She took them to the doctor and then to the police. She said they should never march to an unknown place again. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They only wanted to march in the park, in the house, and everywhere they knew. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to play with pillows the most. They made a big fort with pillows and blankets. They pretended they were kings and queens of the pillow land. + +"Ben, you are a silly king!" Lily said. "You have a pillow on your head!" + +"No, you are a silly queen!" Ben said. "You have a pillow on your feet!" + +They laughed and threw pillows at each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard their mom call them. "Lily and Ben, it's time to leave! We have to go to grandma's house!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to leave. They wanted to play more. They hid under the pillows and did not answer. + +Their mom came to their room. She saw the pillow fort and smiled. She lifted a pillow and found Lily. She lifted another pillow and found Ben. + +"Come on, you silly kids!" she said. "We have to leave now. You can play with pillows later. Grandma is waiting for us!" + +Lily and Ben sighed. They loved their grandma, but they loved their pillows too. They got out of the pillow fort and hugged their mom. They took their favorite pillows with them and left. +Ben and Lily like to play in the garden. They have a big box with toys. They take out a horse and a pot. They pretend to cook the horse in the pot. + +"Yum, yum, horse soup!" says Ben. He stirs the pot with a spoon. + +"No, no, horse soup!" says Lily. She loves the horse. She hugs the horse and takes it out of the pot. "Horse is my friend, not food!" + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They are not happy. They want to play together, but they like different things. + +Then they see a wide tree. The tree has many branches and leaves. It looks like a house. + +"Look, look, a tree house!" says Ben. He runs to the tree. He climbs up a branch. + +"Wow, wow, a tree house!" says Lily. She follows Ben. She climbs up another branch. + +Ben and Lily find a nice spot in the tree. They can see the garden and the sky. They have a lot of space. They smile at each other. + +"Can we play here?" asks Ben. + +"Yes, we can play here!" says Lily. + +They put the horse and the pot in the tree. They pretend to cook other things, like leaves and flowers and nuts. They share their food and have fun. + +They are happy. They are friends. They love the tree house. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a fork in the kitchen. They think it is a fun toy. They start to poke and scratch things with the fork. + +"Look, I can make a hole in the sofa!" Tom says. + +"No, I can make a bigger hole!" Sam says. + +They poke and scratch the sofa with the fork. They make many holes. They do not see that Mom is watching them. + +Mom is angry. She takes the fork from them. She shows them the holes in the sofa. + +"What did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We were playing with the fork!" Tom and Sam say. + +"Playing with the fork? The fork is not a toy! The fork is for eating! You made a big mess with the fork! You hurt the sofa!" Mom says. + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They see that they did a bad thing. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will not play with the fork again." Tom and Sam say. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is glad that they are sorry. + +"Thank you for saying sorry. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be careful with things. Some things are not toys. Some things can hurt you or others. You have to ask before you use things. You have to respect things. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They want to be good. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We will be careful. We will ask. We will respect." Tom and Sam say. + +Mom smiles. She gives them a cloth. She tells them to rub the sofa with the cloth. She helps them to fix the holes. They work together. They make the sofa look better. + +Tom and Sam learn a lesson. They do not play with the fork anymore. They play with their toys. They are happy. Mom is happy too. + +The end. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big truck. The truck had four wheels, a horn, and a trailer. They liked to fill the trailer with blocks, dolls, and cars. + +One day, they were playing with the truck in the living room. They drove the truck around the sofa, the table, and the rug. They made loud noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +But then, something bad happened. The truck hit a chair and the trailer broke. One of the wheels came off and the trailer fell apart. Ben and Lily were sad. They loved their truck. How could they fix it? + +They looked around for something to help them. They saw a roll of tape on the shelf. Tape was sticky and strong. Maybe they could use tape to save their truck. They asked their mom if they could have the tape. Their mom said yes, but be careful. + +Ben and Lily took the tape and went back to the truck. They worked hard to put the wheel and the trailer back together. They used a lot of tape. They wrapped tape around the wheel, the trailer, and the truck. They were persistent. They did not give up. + +Finally, they finished. They looked at their truck. It was not the same as before. It had tape all over it. But it was still their truck. And it still worked. They tried to drive it around the living room. It moved slowly and wobbled a bit. But it did not break again. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They hugged their truck. They thanked the tape. They had saved their truck. They continued to play with it. They made loud noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a basket full of flowers and leaves. They wanted to make a pretty picture with them. + +"Look, I found a red flower!" Lily said, holding it up. + +"I found a yellow one!" Ben said, showing his. + +They put their flowers in the basket and looked for more. + +But then they saw a big hose. It was shiny and wet. It looked like fun. + +"Let's spray the hose!" Ben said, grabbing it. + +"No, don't!" Lily said, scared. "The flowers will get wet and sad!" + +But Ben did not listen. He turned on the hose and sprayed water everywhere. He sprayed the basket, the flowers, the leaves, and Lily. + +Lily was wet and cold. She cried. + +"Ben, you are mean!" she said. "You ruined our picture!" + +Ben felt bad. He saw that Lily was right. The flowers were wet and droopy. The leaves were soggy and torn. The basket was muddy and heavy. + +He turned off the hose and put it down. He went to Lily and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was silly. I did not mean to hurt you or the flowers." + +Lily hugged him back. She was still wet, but she was not angry anymore. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "We can find more flowers and leaves. We can make a new picture." + +They smiled and went to look for more. They left the wet basket behind. They hoped the sun would make it dry. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They see a big red bike near the fence. It has a shiny bell on the handle. Lily wants to ring the bell. She runs to the bike and grabs the bell. + +"Ring, ring, ring!" Lily says. She likes the sound of the bell. + +Tom wants to ride the bike. He runs after Lily and tries to take the bell from her. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Tom says. He does not like the noise of the bell. + +Lily and Tom pull and push. They are both angry. They scream at each other. + +"Mine, mine, mine!" Lily says. + +"No, no, no!" Tom says. + +A man comes to the bike. He is the owner of the bike. He looks at Lily and Tom. He is not happy. He shouts at them. + +"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? This is my bike! Go away, go away, go away!" He says. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They let go of the bell. They run away from the bike. They run fast. They do not want to see the man again. They are sorry for taking the bike. They say sorry to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You can ring the bell." Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was selfish. You can ride the bike." Lily says. + +They hug and make up. They go back to the slide and the swing. They play nicely. They do not scream anymore. They are friends again. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they see a big, colorful kite in the sky. They want to fly a kite too. + +"Let's make a kite!" Lila says. + +"How?" Ben asks. + +"We need paper, string, and a stick. And some crayons to make it pretty," Lila says. + +They run to Lila's house and ask her mom for the things they need. She gives them a big sheet of paper, some string, a stick, and some crayons. They say thank you and go to the backyard. + +They fold the paper in half and cut a triangle shape. They use the crayons to draw stripes and dots and stars on the paper. They tie the string to the stick and the paper. They have a kite! + +They run to the park and look for a good spot to fly their kite. They see a hill with a lot of wind. They decide to go there. + +They hold the stick and the string and run up the hill. They let go of the stick and watch their kite soar in the air. It makes a zigzag pattern as it moves with the wind. They laugh and clap and cheer. + +"Look at our kite!" Lila says. + +"It's so colorful and fun!" Ben says. + +They are happy. They fly their kite until the sun sets. They are proud of their kite. They are good friends. +Sara liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big window in her room and a soft bed. She would lie on her bed and watch the stars twinkle. Sometimes she saw a shooting star and made a wish. + +One night, Sara saw something different in the sky. It was a big ball of fire with a long tail. It was very bright and fast. Sara was excited and scared. She did not know what it was. She ran to her mom and dad's room and knocked on the door. + +"Mom, Dad, come and see!" she said. "There is a big fire in the sky!" + +Mom and Dad got up and followed Sara to her room. They looked out the window and saw the fire ball too. + +"That is a comet, Sara," Mom said. "It is a big rock that flies in space. Sometimes it comes close to the earth and we can see it. It is very rare and beautiful." + +Sara smiled and hugged Mom and Dad. She felt better now that she knew what it was. She asked them if they could make a wish on the comet. + +"Sure, why not?" Dad said. "But you have to be quick. The comet will not stay for long." + +Sara closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished that the comet would come back again and that she could see it with Mom and Dad. She opened her eyes and saw the comet fade away in the dark. + +"Goodbye, comet," she said. "Thank you for visiting us." + +Sara was still restless and wanted to see more stars. But Mom and Dad said it was time to sleep. They tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. They told her they loved her and that she had a big day tomorrow. + +Sara closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She dreamed of comets and stars and wishes. She was happy. +Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a dream about a big pink unicorn. The unicorn was her friend and they played in a field of flowers. Lily was happy in her dream. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was her alarm clock. It was time to wake up and go to school. Lily did not want to wake up. She wanted to stay with the unicorn. She hid under her blanket and closed her eyes. + +Her parent came into her room. Her parent saw the alarm clock and the blanket. Her parent said, "Lily, it's time to wake up. You have to go to school. You can't stay in bed all day." + +Lily said, "No, I don't want to wake up. I want to stay with the unicorn. The unicorn is cool. School is not cool. School is boring." + +Her parent said, "Lily, I know you like the unicorn, but it's only a dream. You can dream about it again tonight. But now you have to wake up and get ready. School is important. You can learn new things and have fun with your friends. School is cool too." + +Lily said, "No, school is not cool. School is hard. I don't like math and spelling. I don't want to learn new things. I want to play with the unicorn." + +Her parent said, "Lily, please don't be stubborn. You have to wake up and go to school. It's not hard. You can do math and spelling. You are smart and brave. And you can play with the unicorn after school. I will help you with your homework and then we can read a story about unicorns. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the idea of reading a story about unicorns with her parent. She also liked her friends at school. Maybe school was not so bad after all. She said, "Okay, I will wake up and go to school. But can I take my unicorn toy with me?" + +Her parent smiled and said, "Of course you can. You can take your unicorn toy with you. But you have to put it in your backpack when you are in class. Deal?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Deal." She got out of bed and hugged her parent. She also hugged her unicorn toy. She was ready to wake up and go to school. She hoped to see the unicorn again in her dream. +Sara and Ben were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ball that was blue and shiny. They liked to roll it, bounce it, and kick it. Sometimes they pretended it was a planet in the universe. + +One day, they decided to weigh their ball. They found a scale in the bathroom and put the ball on it. The scale said the ball was five pounds. Sara and Ben were amazed. They wondered how much the whole universe weighed. + +They asked their mom, who was reading a book in the living room. "Mom, how much does the universe weigh?" they said. + +Mom smiled and put down her book. She was a charming lady who always had time for her children. She hugged them and said, "That's a very good question, my dears. But the universe is so big and so vast that we can't weigh it with a scale. It has countless stars and planets and moons and comets and asteroids and dust and gas and light and dark. It's more than we can imagine." + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They were confused. How could something be so big and so heavy that they couldn't measure it? + +Mom saw their puzzled faces and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You don't need to know how much the universe weighs to enjoy it. You can look at the sky at night and see the beautiful stars. You can learn about the different planets and what they are like. You can dream about exploring the universe someday. The universe is a wonderful gift that we can appreciate and respect, even if we can't weigh it." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. Then they took their ball and went outside to play. They still loved their ball, but they also loved the universe. They learned that some things are more valuable than their weight. +Tom and Lily are kids who like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw. Today is a mild day, not too hot and not too cold. They run and laugh and have fun. + +Tom wants to go on the seesaw, but Lily is scared. She thinks she is too light and Tom is too heavy. She says, "No, Tom, I don't want to go on the seesaw. You will make me fly up in the air!" + +Tom says, "Don't worry, Lily, I won't make you fly. We can weigh the same if we move our seats. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Lily is curious. She asks, "How can we weigh the same? You are bigger than me!" + +Tom says, "Look, if I sit close to the middle and you sit far from the middle, we will balance. The seesaw will not go up or down. It will stay flat. Let me show you!" + +Tom and Lily get on the seesaw. Tom moves his seat closer to the middle and Lily moves her seat farther from the middle. They hold on to the handles and smile. The seesaw stays flat. They feel like they weigh the same. + +Lily says, "Wow, Tom, you are right! This is fun! How do you know this?" + +Tom says, "I learned it from my dad. He is a teacher. He knows many things. He says it is called physics. Do you want to learn more?" + +Lily says, "Yes, Tom, I do! Can you teach me more?" + +Tom says, "Sure, Lily, I can! Let's play and learn together!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to make their own fun. They found some envelopes in a drawer and decided to pretend they were letters. + +"Who do you want to write to?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I want to write to Grandma. She is nice and gives us cookies," Tom said. + +He took a crayon and drew a picture of Grandma on the envelope. He also wrote her name with big letters. He was proud of his work. + +Lily smiled and took another envelope. She wanted to write to her friend Mia. She drew a picture of Mia and herself holding hands. She also wrote their names with small letters. She was happy with her work. + +They put their envelopes on the table and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and wanted a snack. They saw a bright yellow banana on the counter and decided to share it. They peeled the banana and broke it in half. They each took a piece and started to eat. + +While they were eating, their dog Spot came into the living room. He smelled something interesting on the table. He jumped on a chair and saw the envelopes. He thought they were food. He grabbed Tom's envelope and tore it open. He ate the paper and the crayon. He liked the taste. + +Tom and Lily heard a noise and ran back to the living room. They saw Spot with the envelope in his mouth. They were shocked and angry. + +"Spot, no! That's not food, that's my letter to Grandma!" Tom shouted. + +"Bad dog, bad dog! Drop it, drop it!" Lily yelled. + +Spot looked at them with a guilty face. He dropped the envelope and wagged his tail. He hoped they would forgive him. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They had worked hard on their letters and now they were ruined. They picked up the pieces and threw them in the trash. They hugged each other and decided to make new letters later. They also decided to keep them away from Spot. They loved their dog, but he was naughty sometimes. +Once upon a time, there were two naughty boys named John and Paul. They were always up to no good and today was no exception. + +John had found a leather ball in the park and wanted to take it home to play with it, but Paul wanted to play with it too. They began arguing about who had more right to the ball. + +John said, "It's mine! I found it first!" +Paul said, "No, it's mine! I need it more than you!" + +They argued and argued until finally, it started to rain. John and Paul had to stop arguing and go home to stay dry. + +The moral of the story is that you should share your things, or else bad things will happen. If John and Paul had shared the leather ball, the story might have had a better ending! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Daisy. She was very eager to learn how to ride her bike. She asked her dad every day to help her learn. + +One day, her dad asked her "Do you want to try riding your bike today?". Daisy screamed yes, and grabbed her bike. + +After a few tries, Daisy started to get the hang of it. Her dad said "Good job Daisy! You are doing great! Now try one more time". + +With each attempt, Daisy got a little better. But with each success she also fell a few times. Every time she fell, Daisy would get up, brush off her knee and keep on trying. + +Finally, after a lot of struggle, Daisy managed to balance on her bike. She was so excited she yelled out "I did it!" + +Daisy was so relieved and so happy that she had managed to finally ride her bike. Her dad smiled and said "Very good! All that struggling was worth it." + +Daisy was so eager to show her friends that she could ride her bike. She rode away, peddling with all her might, going faster and further, until she was out of sight. + +And that was the story of how Daisy was eager to learn how to ride her bike and succeeded after struggling a few times. +Once there was a little boy who wanted a new secret sack. So one day his mommy brought him to the furniture shop. The shop was so big and had lots of armchairs. The little boy was so excited to find his sack. He looked around until he saw a new sack in the corner. It was shiny and pretty and he just had to have it. He hugged it tightly and begged his mommy to buy it. + +So, his mommy bought it for him and the little boy was so happy. He carried his new sack around all day, even sitting in his armchair with it. He filled it up with all his little things, like his toys and books. + +The little boy was so pleased with his new sack that he wouldn't part with it for anything. He also loved to show it off to all his friends. + +And from then on, the little boy and his sack were always together. They were the best of friends! +Once there was a little girl named Bella. Bella was very clumsy but had a lot of fun playing outside. + +One day, Bella was playing in the park. She stepped on the hot sand and felt it burning her feet. She began to sigh. + +But she didn't want to give up. She put her shoes back on and kept playing. Bella loved twirling around in the sun. + +But when Bella twirled a little too hard, she accidentally knocked over her beach bucket. She sighed again. + +Bella was frustrated. But she didn't give up. She picked it up and tried again. + +In the end, Bella twirled around with a smile and had a wonderful time. +Once upon a time, there lived a caterpillar. His name was Tom and he was very frightened. He had never been this scared in his life. + +One day, Tom saw two children walking towards him. He was terrified and started running around frantically. + +The children saw him and one of them said,"Look! There's a caterpillar. Let's catch him!" + +Tom heard this and screamed,"No! Please don't catch me. I'm too scared!" + +The children stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other and then nodded. + +The other child said, "Don't worry, Tom! We won't catch you.We just wanted to have a look. You can go now!" + +Tom was relieved and thanked the children for being so kind. He waved goodbye to them and continued on his way. +Once upon a time, there was an old man. He wanted to have a safe that was hidden. So he found a cave and put the safe inside. He asked the three year old boy to help him. He said that the boy had to repeat the secret words and then the safe will open. + +So the boy repeated the secret words. But the old man tricked him. The safe opened and the old man took all the things inside. He left the boy in the dark cave and ran away. + +The boy tried to find the way out of the cave, but he was lost and scared. He was so scared that he was crying. He cried and cried until he was too tired and went to sleep. + +The next day, he woke up but still could not find the way out. He was inside the cave for days and days. He was so hungry and thirsty. Until one day, he never woke up again because he died inside the cave, alone and never found. +One morning, Zoe woke up feeling very sleepy. She yawned and stretched. As she yawned, an angel brightened the room. Zoe smiled and felt happy. + +The angel gave Zoe a big hug and then pointed at the kitchen. Inside, Zoe found a big bowl of healthy food. She ate it all and felt a lot more awake. + +The angel gave Zoe a pat on the head and smiled. Zoe smiled too and said goodbye to her angel friend. + +She went back to bed and after a good night's sleep, she felt refreshed and healthy. Zoe was full of energy and ready for the day ahead! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Meg. She was very impatient. One day, she saw a special gun. It could shoot dust. Meg wanted to try the gun. She took it in her hands and shot the dust. The dust flew into the air and Meg laughed. It was so much fun. But then Meg started to get too impatient and shot the dust too quickly. In no time, it had all gone. Meg was sad that the dust was gone. She put the gun away and learned to be less impatient. The end. +Once there was a little girl named Lacy. She was three years old and liked to wear her white bathrobe all the time. One morning Lacy put on her bathrobe and nodded at her mommy. + +Her mommy said, "Where are you going, Lacy?" Lacy just smiled and kept walking out of the room. + +She walked outside and got on her bike. Then she rode to the park. + +At the park, there were lots of other kids wearing bathrobes. Lacy was excited to see them. She nodded to the other kids, but they didn't nod back. + +That's when Lacy noticed that all the kids had a different colour bathrobe. She was the only one wearing white! + +Lacy was a bit embarrassed, but she was still happy to be at the park. She smiled, nodded again and kept playing. +There was once a powerful magician who had a secret magical wand. It was hidden deep inside a cardboard box so no one knew about it. + +One day a 3 year old child named Jane decided to investigate the box. She opened it and found the magical wand inside! She was extremely excited and couldn't believe her eyes. + +"Wow!" she cried. "A magical wand!" + +Just then the powerful magician appeared. He smiled and said, "You've discovered my secret magical wand. You must be very special to have found it!" + +He then told Jane it was her turn to reveal a magical power of her own and presented her with a magical card. She smiled and waved her hand over the card, revealing a beautiful rainbow. + +The powerful magician was impressed. "Well done Jane," he said, "Now you have revealed your own special magical power!" +One day, a mighty dog was walking through the woods. Suddenly, he saw an interesting object on the ground. He stopped to sniff it. It smelled funny! He decided to take a bite. + +The object was too hard and it made the dog's teeth hurt. He yelped in pain. + +Just then a little girl ran up to him, laughing. She said, "That looks mighty funny! What is it?" + +The dog shook his head, then said, "It hurts too much to bite it again. I don't know what it is." + +The little girl studied the object closely. "It looks like a rock. Come on, let's go find some tasty treats!" And with that, the two of them took off running. +Billy was out in the garden one day, looking around. He saw a big yellow butterfly floating through the air. He wanted to catch it, but it was too fast for him! + +He thought about what he could do, until he had an idea. He looked around and saw a big yellow blanket lying under the tree. He grabbed it and started to cover the tree with it. + +When he was finished, the butterfly was still flying around, but now it couldn't get away. Billy caught the butterfly, and put it into a jar with some air holes in it, so that it could breathe. + +Now he had a yellow butterfly of his own! He hadn't been able to do this before, yet he had done it today. He was very proud of himself and smiled. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Jill. She was very busy and wanted to find something to do. Then she remembered her camera! She picked it up and went outside. + +She took lots of photos of the birds, the flowers, and the trees. She was having so much fun! + +Suddenly she saw a bee and heard it buzzing around. She was so excited! She held up the camera and snapped a photo of it. + +Just then her mom came outside. "What are you doing, Jill?" She asked. + +"I'm taking photos of the bee," Jill replied. + +Her mom smiled. "That's wonderful. Let's go inside and show Daddy the photos. He'll love them!" Jill jumped up, hugged her mom and ran inside. + +Inside, they showed Daddy all the photos. He smiled and praised Jill's skill. It had been such a lovely and busy day. +Timmy and his mum were walking around the park when they suddenly saw a lollipop lying on the ground. Timmy got really excited and asked his mum if he could have it. But his mum said it was disgusting and brushed it away with her foot. + +"It’s probably been there a long time and it’s not very clean," said his mum with a frown. + +Timmy didn't understand, so he blinked and asked his mum: "What’s clean?" + +His mum sighed and said: "Clean means it looks nice and is free from dirt." + +Timmy blinked again and said: "But I want the lollipop. Please, can I have it?" + +Mum shook her head and said: "It’s not safe, Timmy. It’s very disgusting and not healthy to eat." + +Timmy sadly blinked and said: "OK, I won't have it then." + +Then he smiled and grabbed his mum's hand. They started walking and soon Timmy was laughing about something else. He had forgotten all about the disgusting lollipop. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Harry and Sam. They were playing together in the garden one morning. + +Suddenly, something caught Harry's eye. It was a kite in a nearby tree, tied really tight. + +"Look Sam, a kite!" he shouted excitedly. + +Sam laughed. "Let's get it down! How can we do it?" + +Harry thought for a moment. "We can say something in a loud voice, I think." + +"Oh yes!" Sam said. Together, they shouted: "We can do it if we repeat, repeat, repeat!" + +The kite started to move and soon it had dropped to the ground. Harry and Sam were so happy and they hugged each other. + +They Both learned a lesson that morning. They knew that by repeating something over and over again, they could achieve anything. +John saw a shiny helmet. "Wow," he said. He was amazed by how powerful it was. He wanted to try it on. + +John went to the helmet and he put it on his head. "Whoa," he said. He felt so strong with the helmet on. + +John's mom saw him. "John," she said. "That helmet looks very powerful. But you have to be careful with it. Okay? + +John nodded and smiled. He was so excited he could barely contain himself. + +John ran and jumped with the helmet on. He felt like he could do anything. He was happy and couldn't think of a better way to spend the day. +Billy was a little boy who loved to explore. Today, he had found a special door. He wanted to see what was inside it, but it was locked. He felt excited and wanted to unlock it. + +"Mommy, look!" he said, pointing at the door. His mommy smiled. + +"Would you like to try to unlock it, Billy?" she asked. + +Billy nodded excitedly. His mommy picked him up and put him next to the door. She showed him a small white boot and said, "See this little boot? Put it in the keyhole and turn it to the right." + +Billy put the boot into the keyhole and turned it. Abruptly, the door opened and there was a loud click. Inside the room was a high pile of blankets and pillows, perfect for playing. + +Billy was so happy that he had unlocked the door.

She was just 3 years old, and loved to go outside. + +One day, Daisy went outside to play. But there was one problem, the wind kept blowing her toys away. Daisy got frustrated trying to stay with her toys, but the wind kept blowing them away. + +So Daisy decided to do something different. She grabbed a piece of string and tied it to her toys, so that the wind wouldn't blow them away. + +The wind still blew but Daisy stayed with her toys. She ran around and had lots of fun, playing with her toys. + +At the end of the day, Daisy was happy.

It was a three year old girl. + +The little girl said, "Hello, doggy. Can I watch you?" + +The dog barked happily, and the little girl giggled. She looked at the old collar around his neck and said, "Do you want me to help you take your old collar off?" + +The old dog lay still and waited for the little girl to unfasten the collar. When it was off, the old dog jumped and ran around the room, playing with the little girl. They laughed and smiled, and the old dog was back to being the happy dog that he was. +Jack and his mom were on the beach one day. Jack was playing in the sand and watching the tide come in. Mom was watching him too. + +"Look at the waves, Mom!" Jack said. + +Mom smiled. "Yes, the tide is getting closer." + +But suddenly Jack noticed something moving around in the water. "Mom! There's something swimming!" + +"That's a bossy dolphin!" Mom said. + +Jack was excited. He watched the dolphin splash around in the water. After a while, it seemed to swim away. + +"Where did it go?" Jack asked in puzzlement. + +Mom smiled. "Let's wait and see," she said. + +Jack waited and watched the water. Then, soon he saw the dolphin again! It was bringing a starfish to the shore! +Jack couldn't believe his eyes. He felt like bossy dolphins really do exist! +Once upon a time, there was an unusual dark forest. Everyone who lived nearby was scared of it. It seemed like a magician had cast a spell on it, making it very mysterious. + +Every day, animals would prepare for their special journey into the dark forest. They would gather food and supplies and travel in groups. + +As they walked deeper into the woods, they noticed something very strange.

It is the law. The law is a rule. We have to follow the rule. If we break the rule, we can get in trouble." + +Tom does not care. He runs to the grass. He is fast. He laughs and shouts. "Come on, Sam! Don't be scared. It is just grass. The sign is silly. The law is silly. We can do what we want." + +Sam shakes his head. He stays on the path. He is sad. He does not want to play with Tom. He does not want to break the rule. He does not want to get in trouble. + +Tom runs on the grass. He makes mud pies and splashes and rolls. He is dirty and wet. He thinks he is having fun. But then, he stumbles. He falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. He wants Sam. He wants help. + +Sam hears Tom. He runs to him. He is not fast. He is careful. He does not go on the grass. He stays on the path. He reaches Tom. He sees his knee. He sees his tears. He feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Sam asks. "You hurt your knee. You are dirty and wet. You are not having fun. You are in trouble." + +Tom nods. He is not okay. He hurt his knee. He is dirty and wet. He is not having fun. He is in trouble. He is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says. "You were right. I was wrong. I should have listened to the sign. I should have followed the rule. I should have respected the law. The law is not a game. The law is important. The law is good." + +Sam smiles. He is happy. He forgives Tom. He helps him. He takes him to the bench. He cleans his knee. He gives him a hug. He is his friend. + +They learn a lesson. They learn to follow the law. They learn to respect the sign. They learn to be careful. They learn to be good. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big cave near their house. They wanted to see what was inside, so they took a flashlight and went in. + +The cave was dark and cold, but they saw many shiny things on the walls and the floor. They were crystals of different colors and shapes. Anna and Ben were very excite. They picked up some crystals and put them in their pockets. + +"Look, Ben, this one is pink and sparkly!" Anna said, holding a crystal in her hand. + +"Wow, Anna, that's pretty! And this one is blue and smooth!" Ben said, showing his crystal. + +They kept walking and looking at the crystals, until they reached a big room. There, they saw a huge pile of gold and silver and jewels. It was the treasure of a wealthy king who lived long ago. Anna and Ben could not believe their eyes. + +"Ben, look at all this! We are rich!" Anna said, running towards the treasure. + +"Anna, wait! We don't know if it's safe!" Ben said, following her. + +But before they could touch anything, they heard a loud roar. A big dragon came out of a hole behind the treasure. It had red scales and yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It was guarding the treasure and it did not like visitors. It breathed fire at Anna and Ben, who screamed and ran away. + +They dropped their crystals and their flashlight and ran as fast as they could. They found the way out of the cave and ran back to their house. They were scared and sad, but also glad that they were alive. + +They never went back to the cave again, but they always remembered their adventure. They learned that some things are more important than gold and jewels, like being safe and having each other. +Tom liked to create things with his toys. He had many blocks, cars, animals and dolls. He could make houses, roads, farms and stories with them. He had fun playing with his toys every day. + +One day, he found a big pan in the kitchen. It was old and rusty. It had pictures of flowers and birds on it. Tom thought it was ancient, like the things he saw in books. He wondered what he could create with it. + +He took the pan to his room and put it on the floor. He looked at his toys and had an idea. He got some blocks and made a castle around the pan. He put a car on top of the pan and said it was the king. He put some animals and dolls inside the pan and said they were the people. He made a story about the king and the people in the ancient pan castle. + +Tom played with his pan castle for a long time. He liked his new creation. He was proud of it. He showed it to his mom and dad. They smiled and said it was very clever. They gave him a hug and a kiss. Tom was happy. He loved to create things with his toys. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with gum. They have a big box of gum. The gum is pink and sweet. They chew the gum and make bubbles. + +One day, Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's pour the gum on the floor. It will be fun." Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, let's do it." They open the box and pour the gum on the floor. The gum is sticky and messy. They laugh and jump on the gum. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the gum on the floor. She is very angry. She says, "What have you done? This is not fun. This is bad. You have to clean the gum. Now!" Lily and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing." Mom says, "No, you were not playing. You were making a mess. You have to clean the gum. And no more gum for you. Ever!" She takes the box of gum and throws it in the trash. Lily and Ben cry. They have no more gum. They have to clean the gum. They are not happy. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase and bark and dig and fetch. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then, Spot saw a squirrel and ran after it. He did not see the big rock in his way and bumped his head. He yelped and fell down. Lila and Ben ran to him and saw blood on his fur. They were scared and sad. + +"Spot, are you okay?" Lila asked, hugging him. + +"Ow, ow, ow," Spot whimpered, licking his wound. + +"We need to help him," Ben said, looking around. "We need to heal him." + +He saw a fountain nearby and had an idea. He ran to it and grabbed a towel that someone had left on a bench. He wet the towel with water and ran back to Spot. He wrapped the towel around Spot's head, gently. + +"There, there," he said, stroking him. "This will make you feel better. The water will clean your cut and the towel will stop the blood." + +Lila smiled and thanked Ben. She kissed Spot on the nose and said, "You are a brave dog. We love you." + +Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He felt a little better. + +They decided to go home and show their mom what happened. She was a vet and knew how to heal animals. She gave Spot a treat and a bandage and said he would be fine. She also praised Lila and Ben for being smart and kind. + +She told them that the towel they used was very old and special. It had a picture of a lion and a sun on it. She said it was an ancient towel from a faraway land. She said it was a gift from her grandfather, who had traveled a lot. + +Lila and Ben were amazed. They looked at the towel with wonder. They felt lucky to have it. They felt lucky to have Spot. They felt lucky to have each other. They hugged and smiled. They were happy. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some cars were made of plastic and some were made of metal. Ben liked the metal cars more because they were shiny and heavy. Sam liked the plastic cars more because they were light and easy to move. + +One day, Ben and Sam found a big metal car in the garage. It was red and had four wheels and a horn. Ben wanted to play with it, but Sam said no. He said it was not a toy, it was a real car. He said only grown-ups could drive it. Ben did not believe him. He thought Sam was lying to keep the car for himself. He said he could drive it too, and he got inside. + +Sam tried to stop him, but Ben pushed him away. He turned the key and the car started. He pressed the pedal and the car moved. He was happy and proud. He thought he was a good driver. He did not see the wall in front of him. He did not know how to stop. He crashed into the wall and the car broke. Ben was hurt and scared. He cried and called for help. + +Sam ran to him and tried to help him. He was angry and sad. He wished Ben had listened to him. He wished Ben had not played with the car. He wished Ben had not crashed. He called for their mom and dad. They came and saw the mess. They were shocked and worried. They took Ben to the hospital. They were mad at Ben and Sam. They said they had to pay a lot of money to fix the car and the wall. They said they had to teach Ben and Sam a lesson. They said they had to take away all their cars, plastic and metal. Ben and Sam had no cars to play with anymore. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Ben saw a big dog. He was scared of dogs. He ran to Sara and said, "Sara, Sara, there is a big dog. It is scary. I want to go home." + +Sara looked at the dog. It was not scary. It was friendly. It had a wagging tail and a wet nose. It wanted to play. Sara said, "Ben, don't be scared. The dog is nice. It won't hurt you. Look, it is smiling." + +Ben looked at the dog. It was smiling. But it had big teeth. Ben said, "No, Sara, it is not smiling. It is showing its teeth. It wants to bite us. Let's go, let's go." + +Sara said, "Ben, stop. The dog is not biting. It is licking. It likes us. See, it is licking my hand. It is soft and warm. Do you want to touch it?" + +Ben said, "No, Sara, I don't want to touch it. It might lick my face. It might lick my lip. I don't like that. It is gross. Please, Sara, let's go." + +Sara said, "OK, Ben, we can go. But first, say bye to the dog. It is sad. It wants to be our friend." + +Ben said, "Bye, dog. I'm sorry. Maybe next time I will be brave. Maybe next time I will touch you. But not my lip. Goodbye." + +The dog barked. It was happy. It waved its tail. It hoped to see Sara and Ben again. Sara and Ben waved back. They left the park. They held hands. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. +Anna likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She listens to mom when she tells her what to do. Mom says, "Anna, you are a good helper. Can you wash the dishes with me?" + +Anna nods and smiles. She takes a sponge and some soap. She makes bubbles in the water. She scrubs the plates and cups. She rinses them and puts them on the rack. She is careful not to break them. + +Mom watches Anna and says, "You are doing a great job, Anna. You are very careful and clean. I am proud of you." She gives Anna a hug and a kiss. + +Anna feels happy and warm. She likes to help mom and make her proud. She says, "I love you, mom. Can I help you more?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. You can help me dry the dishes and put them away. Then we can have a snack together. You are my sweet helper, Anna." +Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks, like houses, cars, and towers. One day, they decided to build an enormous dragon with blocks. They used red, green, and yellow blocks to make the dragon's body, head, and tail. They used black blocks to make the dragon's eyes, teeth, and claws. They used blue blocks to make the dragon's fire. + +They were very proud of their dragon. They showed it to their mom and dad, who said it was very good. They showed it to their dog, who barked at it. They showed it to their friends, who said it was very cool. They played with their dragon for a long time, pretending it could fly and roar and breathe fire. + +But then, they started to fight over their dragon. Tom wanted to make the dragon bigger, but Lily wanted to make it smaller. Tom wanted to make the dragon meaner, but Lily wanted to make it nicer. Tom wanted to keep the dragon for himself, but Lily wanted to share it with others. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other, and their dragon fell apart. All the blocks scattered on the floor, and their dragon was gone. + +They were very sad and angry. They cried and blamed each other for breaking their dragon. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They did not want to play with blocks anymore. + +Their mom and dad saw them and felt sorry for them. They hugged them and said, "We know you loved your dragon, but you should not fight over it. You should work together and respect each other's ideas. You should be kind and generous and share your things. That is how you can have more fun and make more friends. And that is how you can build something even better than a dragon." + +Tom and Lily listened to their mom and dad. They felt sorry for fighting and breaking their dragon. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They picked up the blocks and started to build something new. They asked each other what they wanted to build and helped each other. They used all the colors and shapes of the blocks. They built a castle, a bridge, a garden, and a rainbow. And they built a new dragon, a friendly dragon, who lived in their castle and played with them. + +They were very happy and proud of their new creation. They showed it to their mom and dad, who said it was wonderful. They showed it to their dog, who wagged his tail. They showed it to their friends, who said it was amazing. They played with their castle and their dragon for a long time, pretending it was a magical land. And they learned to build not only with blocks, but also with love. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box of jewels in their mom's closet. They decided to play store with them. Anna was the store lady and Ben was the customer. + +"Hello, sir. Do you want to buy some jewels?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, please. I want a red jewel for my wife. How much is it?" Ben said. + +"Five dollars," Anna said. + +"Five dollars? That is too much. I only have three dollars," Ben said. + +"Sorry, sir. The red jewel is very pretty and shiny. It is five dollars or nothing," Anna said. + +Ben was sad. He really wanted the red jewel for his wife. He looked around and saw a blue jewel. It was not as pretty and shiny as the red one, but it was still nice. + +"Can I have the blue jewel for three dollars?" Ben asked. + +Anna thought for a moment. She wanted to sell the red jewel, but she also wanted to be nice to her brother. She remembered what their dad had told them: "Be wise and kind. Share what you have and make others happy." + +"Okay, sir. You can have the blue jewel for three dollars. It is a good deal," Anna said. + +"Thank you, store lady. You are very wise and kind. My wife will love the blue jewel," Ben said. + +He gave Anna three dollars and took the blue jewel. He hugged her and said, "You are the best sister ever." + +Anna smiled and hugged him back. She said, "You are the best brother ever." + +They put the jewels back in the box and went to show their mom their pretend store. Their mom was proud of them for playing nicely and sharing. She gave them each a cookie and a kiss. They ate their cookies and said, "We love you, mom." +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She saw a big box with a bow on the table. She thought it was a present for her. She ran to the table and opened the box. + +But inside the box there was nothing. Only a note that said: "Ha ha, no present for you. You are a bad girl." Sara felt very sad and angry. She did not understand who wrote the note and why they were so mean. + +She looked around and saw her brother Tom. He was laughing and clapping his hands. He said: "I wrote the note. I took your present and hid it. You are always mean to me. Now you know how it feels." + +Sara started to cry. She wanted to hit Tom, but he was bigger and stronger than her. She felt very alone and hurt. She wished she had a real present and a nice brother. She wished it was not her birthday. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. Sara says, "I want an apple. They look yummy." + +Ben says, "Me too. But how can we get them? The tree is very tall and the apples are high." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She sees a big stick on the ground. She says, "I have an idea. We can use this stick to knock down the apples. You hold the stick and I will help you." + +Ben nods. He picks up the stick and tries to reach the apples. Sara pushes the stick with him. They hear a thud. An apple falls to the ground. They are happy. They run to get the apple. + +But when they get there, they see a hole in the ground. The apple is in the hole. The hole is deep. They cannot see the bottom. Sara says, "Oh no. The apple is gone. We cannot get it." + +Ben says, "That's okay. We can try again. Maybe we can find another apple that is not near a hole." + +Sara agrees. They go back to the tree and look for another apple. They hope they can bring one home and share it. They are still friends. +Sara and Tom wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a big basket. They also took a red blanket to lay on the grass. They were very happy and excited. + +They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket and put the basket on it. They opened the basket and took out the food. They saw a small jar with a yellow label. They did not know what it was. + +"Maybe it is honey," Sara said. "I like honey on my bread." + +"Maybe it is butter," Tom said. "I like butter on my cheese." + +They decided to try it. They opened the jar and smelled it. It smelled funny. They dipped their fingers in it and tasted it. It was very spicy! It burned their tongues and made them cough. + +"Yuck!" Sara said. "This is not honey or butter. This is hot sauce!" + +"Who put this in our basket?" Tom said. "This is a bad joke!" + +They looked around and saw a boy hiding behind a bush. He was laughing. He had swapped their jar of jam with his jar of hot sauce. He thought it was funny to trick them. + +Sara and Tom were very angry. They grabbed the jar of hot sauce and ran after the boy. They wanted to teach him a lesson. They chased him around the park, splashing hot sauce on him. The boy was not laughing anymore. He was crying and sorry. + +Sara and Tom went back to their picnic. They threw away the hot sauce and found their jam. They enjoyed their bread, cheese, fruit and juice. They had a good picnic after all. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they go to the library with their teacher. The teacher says they can study any book they want. + +Sara and Ben look at many books. They see books with animals, books with shapes, books with numbers. They also see books with colors. Sara likes colors. She picks a book with colors and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, this book has many colors. Red, blue, yellow, green. Do you like colors?" Sara asks. + +Ben nods. He likes colors too. He takes the book and opens it. He sees a picture of a rainbow. He points to the rainbow and says, "Wow, this is a beautiful color. It has all the colors in one. What is this color called?" + +Sara looks at the picture and smiles. She knows the answer. She learned it from another book. She says, "This color is called ordinary. It is a special color that you can see when it rains and the sun shines. It is a happy color. Do you want to study more about ordinary?" + +Ben nods again. He wants to study more about ordinary. He thinks it is a wonderful color. He says, "Yes, Sara, let's study more about ordinary. Maybe we can find more books with ordinary. Maybe we can draw ordinary too." + +Sara and Ben study more about ordinary. They find more books with ordinary. They learn that ordinary can have different shapes and sizes. They learn that ordinary can make people smile and feel good. They also draw ordinary with crayons and paper. They make a big ordinary for their teacher. They are proud of their work. + +The teacher is happy to see Sara and Ben's work. She says, "Sara and Ben, you did a great job. You studied a lot about ordinary. You made a beautiful ordinary.

They see a big box of cereal on the table. + +"Can we have some cereal?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, but we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are still sleeping," Ben says. + +They open the box and pour some cereal into two bowls. They add some milk and start to eat. They like the cereal. It is crunchy and sweet. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Max. He is hairy and friendly. He runs into the kitchen and jumps on the table. He wants some cereal too. + +"Max, no!" Lily and Ben shout. + +But it is too late. Max knocks over the box and the bowls. Cereal and milk fly everywhere. The kitchen is a mess. + +Mom and Dad wake up and come to the kitchen. They see Lily, Ben and Max covered in cereal and milk. They are not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. + +"We were playing with cereal," Lily says. + +"We are sorry," Ben says. + +Mom and Dad sigh. They love their twins and their dog, but they wish they would not make such a mess. They help them clean up the kitchen and give them a hug. + +"Next time, please wait for us before you play with cereal," Dad says. + +"Okay," Lily and Ben say. + +They finish their breakfast and go to play with Max. They hope he will not make more trouble. +Sam liked to eat spaghetti. He liked to slurp the long noodles and make funny noises. He did not like to eat anything else. He did not like carrots or peas or cheese. He only liked spaghetti. + +One day, Sam's mom said she had a surprise for him. She said she made a new kind of spaghetti. She said it was very yummy and healthy. She said he should try it and see if he liked it. Sam was curious. He wanted to see the new spaghetti. + +Sam's mom brought a big bowl to the table. She smiled and said, "Here you go, Sam. This is your surprise. It's spaghetti with hairy sauce." Sam looked at the bowl. He saw the noodles. But he also saw something else.

He did not want to eat hairy spaghetti. + +Sam said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't like hairy spaghetti. I like normal spaghetti. Can I have normal spaghetti, please?" Sam's mom said, "Oh, Sam, don't be silly. This is not hair. This is meat. It's ground beef. It's very good for you. It has protein and iron and vitamins. It makes you strong and smart and happy. You should try it. You might like it." Sam's mom took a fork and scooped some hairy spaghetti. She brought it to Sam's mouth. She said, "Come on, Sam. Open up. Just one bite. It won't hurt you. It will taste good. Trust me." + +Sam did not want to open his mouth. He did not want to try the hairy spaghetti. He did not trust his mom. He thought she was trying to trick him. He thought she was trying to replace his favorite food with something gross. He thought she was being mean. He pushed the fork away. He said, "No, mom. No hairy spaghetti. I want normal spaghetti. Normal spaghetti or nothing." Sam's mom sighed. She said, "Fine, Sam. Have it your way. But you're missing out on a delicious meal. And you're wasting food. And you're being rude. I worked hard to make this for you. I thought you would like it. I thought you would appreciate it. But I guess I was wrong." She took the bowl away. She said, "If you don't want hairy spaghetti, you can have nothing. You can go to your room and think about what you did. Maybe tomorrow you'll be more polite and adventurous." She left the kitchen. She left Sam alone. + +Sam felt sad. He felt hungry. He felt sorry. He wished he had tried the hairy spaghetti. He wished he had been nicer to his mom. He wished he had not been so picky. He wondered if the hairy spaghetti was really that bad. He wondered if he would like it if he gave it a chance. He wondered if his mom would forgive him. He wondered if he would ever have normal spaghetti again. He went to his room. He lay on his bed. He cried. He cried for a long time. He cried until he fell asleep. He dreamed of spaghetti.

They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty. + +"Time to come in, kids!" Mom called from the door. "You need to wash your hands before lunch." + +Lily and Tom ran to the bathroom. They saw a big bottle of soap on the sink. It was pink and smelled lovely. + +"Can we use this soap, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. It's very slippery and bubbly. Don't let it fall on the floor or in your eyes. It can prevent you from seeing well and make you slip and hurt yourself." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They turned on the tap and wet their hands. Then they squeezed some soap on their palms and rubbed them together. The soap made a lot of foam and bubbles. Lily and Tom giggled and blew some bubbles in the air. + +"Look, Mom, we made bubbles!" Tom said. + +"That's nice, but don't forget to wash your hands well. You don't want to have dirt and germs on them. They can make you sick." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom rinsed their hands and dried them with a towel. They looked at their hands and saw that they were clean and soft. + +"Wow, this soap is magic! It made our hands lovely!" Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "Yes, it is. And you know what else is lovely? You two. Now let's go and have some lunch. I made your favorite sandwiches." She said. + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the kitchen. They were happy and hungry. They thanked Mom for the soap and the lunch. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. They felt good and healthy. They loved Mom and the soap. +Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind a big tree and waited for Tom to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Tom looked around the park and tried to guess where Lily was hiding. He saw a pond with some ducks and a bridge. He thought maybe Lily was under the bridge. He walked slowly to the pond and peeked under the bridge. He saw something green and scaly. It was a crocodile! + +Tom was very scared and ran away from the bridge. He shouted, "Lily, Lily, where are you? There is a crocodile under the bridge!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice and came out from behind the tree. She saw Tom running and the crocodile in the pond. She was not scared. She knew the crocodile was not real. It was a toy crocodile that someone had left in the pond. She laughed and said, "Tom, Tom, don't be afraid. It is not a real crocodile. It is a toy crocodile. I put it there to trick you!" + +Tom stopped running and looked at Lily. He saw the toy crocodile in her hand. He felt silly and relieved. He said, "Lily, Lily, you are very clever. You fooled me with the toy crocodile. You are the successful hider. You win the game!" +Tom and Lily like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. One day, they decide to create a big zoo with all their animals. They put the animals in different places and make noises for them. + +But Tom has a problem. He wants to create a crocodile, but he does not have one. He looks around and sees a green sock. He thinks it is perfect. He puts two buttons for eyes and a rubber band for a mouth. He makes his crocodile say "snap, snap, snap". + +Lily sees Tom's crocodile and laughs. She says it is not a real crocodile. She says it is just a sock. She takes it from Tom and throws it away. Tom is angry. He says it is his crocodile and he wants it back. He runs after Lily and tries to get his crocodile. + +Lily runs away from Tom and hides behind the sofa. She thinks Tom cannot find her. She holds the crocodile in her hands and says "sorry, sorry, sorry". But Tom is smart. He sees the crocodile's tail sticking out from behind the sofa. He sneaks up and grabs the crocodile. He says "got you, got you, got you". + +Lily is surprised. She says "hey, hey, hey". She wants her crocodile back. She tries to pull it from Tom. Tom and Lily start to fight over the crocodile. They tug and pull and shout. The crocodile's eyes and mouth fall off. The sock rips in half. Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at the crocodile and feel sad. They say "oh, oh, oh". They hug each other and say "sorry, sorry, sorry". They decide to create a new crocodile together. They use a new sock, some glue, and some paper. They make their crocodile say "snap, snap, snap". They play with their crocodile and their other animals. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily wanted to go first, but Ben said no. He said he was bigger and faster and he should go first. + +"No, I want to go first!" Lily said. She was stubborn and did not like to share. + +"No, I want to go first!" Ben said. He was stubborn and did not like to wait. + +They pushed and pulled and shouted at each other. Their moms saw them and told them to stop. They said they should take turns and be nice. But Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept fighting for the slide. + +Then, they heard a loud roar. They turned and saw a big lion. The lion had escaped from the zoo and was hungry. It smelled the beef sandwiches that Lily and Ben had in their backpacks. It ran towards them, showing its sharp teeth and claws. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted to run away, but they were still holding the slide. They tried to let go, but their hands were stuck. They had closed their hands too hard and could not open them. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. Their moms heard them and ran to them. But they were too late. The lion reached them and ate them up. It ate their beef sandwiches too. + +The end. + +Moral: Don't be stubborn and fight over silly things. Share and be nice to your friends. Or else, a lion might eat you. +Timmy liked tuna. He liked it a lot. He liked it on bread, on crackers, on salad, and even on pizza. He liked it so much that he did not want to share it with anyone. He always asked his mom to buy him more tuna at the store. + +One day, Timmy had a playdate with his friend Lily. Lily came to his house and they played with his toys. They had fun until it was time for lunch. Timmy's mom made them tuna sandwiches and gave them each a plate. Timmy was happy, but Lily was not. + +"Yuck, I don't like tuna," Lily said. "It smells bad and it tastes funny. Can I have something else?" + +Timmy frowned. He did not like that Lily did not like tuna. He thought tuna was the best thing ever. He did not want to give her something else. He wanted her to eat tuna and like it. + +"No, you have to eat tuna," Timmy said. "Tuna is good for you. It makes you strong and smart. And it is unique. There is nothing like tuna in the world." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to eat tuna. She wanted to eat something else. Something that did not smell bad and taste funny. Something that was not unique, but normal. + +"No, I don't have to eat tuna," Lily said. "Tuna is not good for me. It makes me sick and sad. And it is not unique. It is just fish in a can. I want to eat cheese or ham or peanut butter." + +Timmy and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and made faces at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other. They only cared about tuna. + +Timmy's mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw them fighting and she was not happy. She did not like that they were not getting along. She did not like that they were wasting food. She did not like that they were rude and selfish. + +She took away their plates and told them to stop. She told them that they had to apologize to each other and share. She told them that they had to respect each other's preferences and feelings. She told them that they had to be nice and friendly. + +Timmy and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they were wrong. They realized that tuna was not worth fighting over. They realized that they liked each other more than tuna. + +They said they were sorry and hugged. They agreed to share and try new things. They agreed to respect and care for each other. They agreed to be nice and friendly. + +Timmy's mom smiled and gave them new plates. She gave them each half a tuna sandwich and half a cheese sandwich. She told them that they could eat what they wanted and trade if they liked. She told them that they could enjoy both tuna and cheese. She told them that they were unique and wonderful. + +Timmy and Lily smiled and thanked her. They ate their sandwiches and liked them. They liked both tuna and cheese. They liked both being unique and being normal. They liked being friends. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house. It was old and scary. But Lila wanted to see inside. + +"Let's go, Tom. Maybe we can find something fun," she said. + +"No, Lila. That house is bad. Mommy said we should not go there. It is not safe," Tom said. + +But Lila did not listen. She ran to the house. Tom followed her. He did not want to lose his friend. + +They opened the door. It was dark and dusty. They heard a loud noise. It was a mighty dog. It was angry and hungry. It saw Lila and Tom. It barked and ran to them. + +"Help, Tom! Hold my hand!" Lila cried. + +Tom tried to hold her hand. But the dog was faster. It bit Lila's arm. She screamed. Tom was scared. He ran away. He left Lila alone. + +The dog dragged Lila to a corner. It growled and snapped. Lila was hurt and sad. She wished Tom was there. She wished she never went to the house. She wished she listened to Mommy. But it was too late. The dog ate her. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big, round melon growing on a vine. They were very happy and wanted to eat it. + +"Let's pick it and share it," Lily said. + +"No, we have to wait until it is ripe," Ben said. "It will be sweeter and juicier then." + +They agreed to leave the melon on the vine and check on it every day. They also decided to protect it from the birds and the bugs that might want to eat it. They made a scarecrow out of old clothes and sticks and put it near the melon. They also sprinkled some water on the melon to keep it fresh. + +One morning, they went to the garden and saw that the melon was ready to eat. It was green and yellow and had a nice smell. They were very excited and ran to pick it. + +But when they got closer, they saw that the scarecrow was gone and the melon had a big hole in it. Someone had eaten it! + +They looked around and saw a big, fat raccoon hiding behind a bush. It had the scarecrow's hat on its head and some melon seeds on its mouth. It looked very happy and fit. + +"Hey, that's our melon!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it back!" Ben yelled. + +The raccoon did not listen. It ran away with the rest of the melon and the scarecrow's hat. Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They had worked hard to protect the melon, but they did not get to eat it. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sometimes, things do not go as planned, and that they have to be careful of who they trust. They also learned that they should not leave their melon alone in the garden. They should have picked it and eaten it when they had the chance. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. Sometimes they behave, but sometimes they are naughty. One day, they find a big drain near the fence. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's look in the drain," Tom says. He takes a stick and pokes it in the hole. He hears a splash. "There is water in the drain," he says. + +"Maybe there are fish in the water," Mia says. She takes a net and tries to catch a fish. She does not see a fish, but she sees something shiny. "Look, I found a coin," she says. + +"Maybe there are more coins in the drain," Tom says. He takes a bucket and scoops up some water. He pours the water on the grass and looks for coins. He does not find any coins, but he finds something brown and sticky. "Yuck, what is this?" he says. + +"It is mud," Mia says. She touches the mud and smells it. "It is not mud, it is chocolate," she says. She tastes the mud and smiles. "It is tasty chocolate," she says. + +Tom and Mia think they have found a magic drain. They eat the mud and think it is chocolate. They do not know that the mud is really dirt and poop from the dogs next door. They do not behave and they make a big mess. They get sick and have to go to the doctor. The doctor tells them to never eat mud again. Tom and Mia learn their lesson and say sorry. They promise to behave and to not play in the drain anymore. +Lily was a friendly dog who liked to play with other dogs. She had a pink collar with her name on it. Her owner, Sam, took her to the park every day. Lily was happy. + +One day, Lily saw a new dog at the park. He was big and black and had no collar. He looked scary. Lily wanted to say hello, but she was afraid. She hid behind Sam's legs. + +The new dog came closer and barked. "Who are you? Why are you here?" he asked. + +Lily was too scared to answer. She whimpered. + +Sam bent down and petted Lily. "Don't worry, girl. He's just curious. He won't hurt you. He's a friendly dog, too. His name is Max. He's new in town. He lost his collar, but his owner is looking for it. Why don't you go and play with him?" + +Lily looked at Sam, then at Max. She saw that Max was wagging his tail. He didn't look so scary anymore. He looked lonely. + +Lily decided to be brave. She came out from behind Sam's legs and wagged her tail, too. "Hi, Max. I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +Max smiled and nodded. "Yes, please. I'm sorry I barked at you. I was nervous. You have a nice collar. Can I see it?" + +Lily nodded and let Max sniff her collar. They started to discuss their favorite games and toys. They ran and chased and rolled in the grass. They had fun. + +Sam watched them and smiled. He was glad that Lily and Max became friends. He knew that sometimes, the best way to overcome fear is to be kind and friendly. He hoped that Max would find his collar soon, but he also hoped that they would see each other again. He thought that Lily and Max were a good match. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with paint. They had many colors of paint and many brushes and papers. They could make pretty pictures with paint. + +One day, they wanted to paint a big picture together. They put a big paper on the floor and got their paints ready. Lily wanted to paint a rainbow with many colors. Max wanted to paint a dinosaur with green and brown. They started to paint on the paper, but they did not agree on what to paint. + +"Stop, Max!" Lily said. "You are painting over my rainbow! I want to paint a rainbow!" + +"No, Lily!" Max said. "You are painting over my dinosaur! I want to paint a dinosaur!" + +They both got angry and stubborn. They did not want to share the paper or the paint. They started to paint faster and harder, trying to cover each other's picture. The paint splashed and spilled everywhere. The paper got torn and messy. The floor got dirty and wet. The twins got paint on their clothes and faces and hair. + +Their mom came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She made them stop painting and clean up. She told them they had to say sorry to each other and thank each other for playing. + +Lily and Max felt bad. They looked at their picture and saw it was not pretty. They looked at each other and saw they were not kind. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said thank you to each other for playing. They said thank you to their mom for the paint and the paper. They learned to share and cooperate. + +They decided to paint a new picture together. They used different colors and brushes and papers. They made a beautiful picture of a rainbow and a dinosaur. They were happy and proud. They showed their mom their picture and she smiled. She said they did a good job and she loved them. They said they loved her too. They learned to be grateful and creative. +Lily and Max were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they found oysters, which were hard and shiny on the outside and soft and wet on the inside. Mom and dad said oysters were a kind of animal that lived in the water. + +One day, Lily and Max found a big oyster that was very attractive. It had many colors on its shell, like a rainbow. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. They asked mom and dad for help, but they said no. They said oysters were not toys, and they might hurt themselves or the oyster. + +"But we want to see what's inside!" Lily and Max said. "Maybe there is a pearl, or a treasure, or a friend!" + +Mom and dad smiled and said, "Maybe there is, but you have to be patient and respectful. Oysters are very shy and they only open when they feel safe and happy. Maybe if you talk to it nicely, it will open for you." + +Lily and Max decided to try. They put the oyster on a towel and sat next to it. They said hello and told it their names. They said they liked its colors and they wanted to be its friend. They asked it to open and show them what was inside. + +They waited and waited, but the oyster did not open. It stayed closed and quiet. Lily and Max felt sad and bored. They wondered if the oyster could hear them or if it cared. + +Then, they saw something amazing. The oyster blinked. It opened and closed its shell very quickly, like a wink. Lily and Max blinked back. They laughed and clapped. The oyster blinked again. It was like a game. + +Lily and Max played with the oyster for a while, blinking and smiling. They felt happy and curious. They wondered what the oyster was thinking and feeling. They hoped it liked them too. + +They thanked the oyster for playing with them and said goodbye. They put it back in the water, where it belonged. They waved and blinked one last time. The oyster blinked back and then disappeared. + +Lily and Max ran to mom and dad and told them what happened. They said the oyster was very attractive and very friendly. They said they had a new friend. Mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they learned a valuable lesson about oysters and life. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is old and weak. He cannot run or jump like he used to. He likes to lie in the sun and sleep. + +One day, Spot does not wake up. Tom and Lily are sad. They hug Spot and cry. They want to say goodbye to Spot. They ask their mom and dad what to do. + +Mom and dad say they can bury Spot in the garden. They say it is a way to show love and respect. They say Spot will be happy and peaceful there. They give Tom and Lily a shovel and a blanket. + +Tom and Lily dig a hole in the garden. They wrap Spot in the blanket and put him in the hole. They cover him with dirt and pat it down. They find some stones and make a cross. They write Spot's name on it with a marker. + +They say a prayer for Spot. They thank him for being their friend and for making them laugh. They tell him they will miss him and remember him always. They kiss the cross and put it on the grave. + +They go back to the house and hug their mom and dad. They feel sad, but also grateful. They know Spot is in a better place. They know he will always be in their hearts. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to climb the big oak tree that had many branches and leaves. One day, they saw a squirrel on the tree. It was brown and fluffy and had a long tail. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Tom said. "Can we play with you?" + +The squirrel looked at them and made a funny noise. Then it ran away to another branch. + +"Come back, squirrel!" Anna said. "We are nice and friendly!" + +But the squirrel did not come back. It was shy and scared of the children. Tom and Anna were persistent. They followed the squirrel from branch to branch, trying to catch it. + +"Please, squirrel, don't be afraid!" Tom said. "We just want to be your friends!" + +The squirrel ran faster and faster, until it reached the top of the tree. There it found a hole in the trunk. It quickly hid inside the hole and peeked out. + +"Ha ha, you can't get me now!" the squirrel said. + +Tom and Anna looked up and saw the hole. They also saw something shiny inside the hole. It was a necklace made of nuts and berries. The squirrel had made it for itself. + +"Wow, what a beautiful necklace!" Anna said. "Did you make it, squirrel?" + +The squirrel nodded. It was proud of its necklace. It had worked hard to collect the nuts and berries and string them together. + +"That's amazing, squirrel!" Tom said. "You are very clever and creative!" + +The squirrel smiled. It felt happy that the children liked its necklace. It realized that they were not mean or scary. They were just curious and friendly. + +"Thank you, children!" the squirrel said. "You are very kind and polite!" + +The squirrel decided to share its necklace with the children. It took it off and threw it down to them. + +"Here, you can have it!" the squirrel said. "It's a gift for you!" + +Tom and Anna caught the necklace and put it around their necks. They felt very special and grateful. + +"Thank you, squirrel!" they said. "It's a wonderful gift!" + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had made a new friend. + +"Let's celebrate!" Tom said. "Let's sing a song for the squirrel!" + +"Good idea!" Anna said. "Let's sing a song!" + +They began to sing a song they had learned at school. It was about animals and nature and friendship. The squirrel listened and joined in. It was a happy and fun song. + +They sang and danced and laughed on the big oak tree. They celebrated their friendship and their gift. They had a great time. They were happy. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, her mom was making a special meal for dad. She said it was a rare treat. + +"Can I help, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can bring me the salt. It's in the blue jar on the shelf," mom said. + +Lily climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She was very careful not to drop it. She brought it to mom and watched her sprinkle some salt on the meat. + +"What is that, mom?" Lily asked. + +"It's steak, honey. It's a kind of meat that dad loves. But we don't have it very often, because it's rare and expensive," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to make dad happy. She wondered what steak tasted like. She hoped it was good. + +Mom put the meat in the oven and set the timer. She told Lily to wash her hands and get ready for dinner. Lily did as she was told. She was hungry and curious. + +When the timer beeped, mom took out the meat and put it on a big plate. She cut a small piece for Lily and a bigger piece for dad. She gave them some salad and bread too. + +"Wow, this looks amazing, honey. Thank you so much," dad said as he kissed mom. + +"You're welcome, dear. I hope you enjoy it. It's a rare treat," mom said. + +Lily smiled. She picked up her fork and tried the steak. She chewed and chewed. She made a face. + +"Mom, I don't like it. It's too hard and dry. Can I have some more salt?" she asked. + +Mom and dad looked at each other and laughed. They realized they had overcooked the steak. It was not rare at all. It was tough and bland. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. We messed up. The steak is not good. How about we have some ice cream instead? That's a rare treat too," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She liked ice cream. She pushed away her plate and waited for mom to bring her a bowl. She hoped it was chocolate. She loved chocolate. She forgot about the steak. She was happy. +Lily and Sam liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They liked to mix things in a big bowl. Mom said they were making a cake for Dad's birthday. Lily and Sam wanted to make the cake yummy for Dad. + +Mom gave them some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. She told them to mix them well with a big spoon. Lily and Sam took turns to stir the bowl. They had fun making the mix smooth and creamy. Mom smiled and said they were doing a great job. + +Then Mom added some chocolate chips to the mix. She said they were a special surprise for Dad. Lily and Sam loved chocolate chips. They wanted to taste some. But Mom said they had to wait until the cake was baked. She said it would take some time in the oven. Lily and Sam felt a little sad. They wanted to eat the cake now. + +Mom put the mix in a pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and told Lily and Sam to play in the living room. She said she would call them when the cake was ready. Lily and Sam went to play with their toys. But they kept thinking about the cake. They wondered how it would look and smell and taste. + +After a while, they heard the timer beep. They ran to the kitchen. Mom took the cake out of the oven. It was brown and round and smelled so good. Lily and Sam clapped their hands. Mom said they had to wait a little more for the cake to cool down. Then she would put some frosting and candles on it. Lily and Sam nodded. They knew it would be worth the wait. + +Soon, the cake was ready. Mom put it on a plate and lit the candles. She called Dad to come to the kitchen. Lily and Sam hid behind the table. They wanted to surprise him. Dad came in and saw the cake. He smiled and said it looked amazing. He thanked Mom for making it. Then he saw Lily and Sam. He hugged them and said they were the best helpers ever. He asked them to help him blow out the candles. Lily and Sam were happy. They blew out the candles and wished Dad a happy birthday.

Mom smiled and said she loved them all. They hugged and kissed and laughed. They were a happy family. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the school yard. One day, they see a big blackboard near the wall. The blackboard is thin and has many colors on it. + +"Look, a blackboard!" Lily says. "Let's draw on it!" + +"OK!" Tom says. They run to the blackboard and pick up some chalks. They start to draw flowers, stars, and animals. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is mean and rude. He sees Lily and Tom drawing on the blackboard. He gets angry. + +"Hey, you two! Stop drawing on my blackboard!" he yells. "This is mine! Go away!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the chalks and run away. The big boy laughs and erases their drawings. He writes his name on the blackboard. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They sit on a bench and cry. They did not do anything wrong. They just wanted to have fun. + +A teacher sees them and asks what happened. They tell her about the big boy and the blackboard. The teacher is not happy. She goes to the big boy and scolds him. + +"That is not your blackboard!" she says. "That is for everyone to use and share. You should not be mean and rude to other children. You should say sorry to Lily and Tom and let them draw with you." + +The big boy feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He goes to Lily and Tom and says sorry. He gives them some chalks and invites them to draw with him. + +Lily and Tom are surprised. They forgive the big boy and accept his offer. They go to the blackboard and draw together. They make new friends and have fun. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. You should not be selfish and mean to others. You should be kind and friendly and make others happy. +Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes and fight bad guys. They used sticks as weapons and made loud noises. They had fun. + +But then they saw a man with a real weapon. It was big and shiny and had a hole at the end. The man looked angry and scary. He pointed his weapon at Tim and Sam. He said bad words and told them to give him their money. + +Tim and Sam were very scared. They did not have any money. They only had their sticks and their toys. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He shot his weapon at them. It made a bright flash and a loud bang. + +Tim and Sam fell down. They felt pain and blood. They cried and called for help. But no one came. The man took their toys and ran away. He laughed and said he was the winner. + +Tim and Sam did not get up. They did not play anymore. They did not breathe anymore. They were gone. The end. +Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys and watch movies. One day, they went to Sam's house to watch a new movie. Sam had a big TV and a lot of snacks. + +"Let's watch this movie!" Sam said. He showed Lily a DVD with a scary picture on it. It had a monster and a lot of blood. + +"No, thank you!" Lily said. She did not like scary movies. They made her cry and have bad dreams. "Can we watch something else?" + +"No, this is the best movie ever!" Sam said. He put the DVD in the TV and pressed play. The movie started and the monster roared. + +Lily was very scared. She covered her eyes and ears. She wanted to go home. She asked Sam to stop the movie, but he did not listen. He laughed and said she was crazy. + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She did not like Sam anymore. She grabbed her coat and ran out of the door. She cried all the way home. She wished she had a nicer friend. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind a big tree and waited for Ben to find her. She was very quiet and still. + +Ben looked around the park and tried to find Lily. He saw many trees, flowers, swings and slides, but he did not see Lily. He started to feel sad and scared. He did not like to play alone. He wanted to play with Lily. He decided to yell for Lily. + +"Lily, where are you?" he yelled. "Lily, come out, come out, please!" + +Lily heard Ben's yell and felt sorry for him. She did not want to make him sad and scared. She wanted to play with him. She decided to come out from behind the tree and surprise him. + +"Boo!" she said, jumping out from behind the tree. "Here I am, Ben!" + +Ben saw Lily and felt happy and relieved. He ran to her and hugged her. He was glad to see her. He did not care that she was different from him. She had brown hair and he had blond hair. She had blue eyes and he had green eyes. She wore a pink dress and he wore a blue shirt. He liked her because she was his friend. + +"Lily, you are a good hider!" he said. "But you are a better friend!" + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She liked him because he was her friend. She did not care that he was different from her. She said, "Ben, you are a good seeker! But you are a better friend!" + +They laughed and held hands. They decided to play hide and seek again. But this time, they would not yell or search. They would stay together and have fun. They were happy and different friends. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to be careful not to lose the ball or hit someone with it. + +One day, a stranger came to the park. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked at Tom and Anna and smiled. He said, "Hello, little ones. What a nice ball you have. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Anna did not know the stranger. They felt shy and scared. They did not answer him. They held their ball tight and moved away from him. + +The stranger did not give up. He followed them and said, "Please, let me see your ball. I admire your ball. It is so round and shiny. I want to touch it and kick it." + +Tom and Anna did not like the stranger. They did not want to share their ball with him. They said, "No, thank you. This is our ball. We do not know you. Go away." + +The stranger was angry. He was careless and rude. He tried to grab the ball from Tom and Anna. He pulled and pushed them. He made them fall and cry. + +Tom and Anna shouted, "Help! Help! This stranger is bad. He wants to take our ball. Help us!" + +Some people in the park heard them and came to help. They saw the stranger and the ball. They scolded the stranger and told him to leave. They comforted Tom and Anna and gave them back their ball. + +Tom and Anna thanked the people and hugged their ball. They learned a lesson. They decided to be careful and not talk to strangers. They only played with their friends and family. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with their wagon. They found a huge hill near their house and wanted to go down it with their wagon. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and climbed up the hill. + +"Are you ready, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am, Lily. This will be fun!" Tom said. + +They got in the wagon and pushed it down the hill. The wagon went very fast and they laughed and screamed. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +But then, something bad happened. The wagon hit a big rock and split in two. Lily and Tom flew out of the wagon and landed on the ground. They hurt their arms and legs and cried. Their toys and snacks were scattered everywhere. + +They looked at their broken wagon and felt very sad. They had no wagon to play with anymore. They had no toys or snacks to enjoy. They had no fun at all. + +They wished they had never gone down the hill with their wagon. They wished they had stayed at home and played safely. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy dinosaurs in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were in history, when big and scary animals lived on the earth. They made loud noises and moved their toys around the carpet. + +"Roar!" Ben said, holding his green dinosaur. "I am the king of the dinosaurs. No one can stop me!" + +"Not so fast!" Lily said, holding her pink dinosaur. "I am the queen of the dinosaurs. I can fight you!" + +They made their dinosaurs bite and scratch each other, having fun. + +But then, Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to ignore it, but it got worse. He could not hold it in. He sneezed. + +"Achoo!" He sneezed so hard that his dinosaur flew out of his hand and hit the lamp. The lamp fell over and broke. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said, looking at the mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken lamp and the toy dinosaurs on the floor. + +"What did you do?" She asked, not happy. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben said. "I sneezed and my dinosaur hit the lamp. It was an accident." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was not pleased either. She picked up the lamp and the dinosaur. + +"Next time, cover your mouth when you sneeze, okay?" She said. "And be careful with your toys. They can break things." + +"Yes, Mom," Ben and Lily said. + +They helped Mom clean up the mess. Then they went back to playing with their dinosaurs. But they moved them away from the lamp. + +"Your dinosaur is ugly," Ben said, teasing Lily. + +"Your dinosaur is uglier," Lily said, teasing back. + +They laughed and continued their history game. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with Spot, the dog. Spot was big and brown and had a white spot on his head. Spot liked to run and jump and lick Lily and Tom. + +One day, Lily and Tom wanted to wash Spot. They took a bucket and a sponge and some soap. They called Spot and he came to them. He wagged his tail and barked. + +"Spot, you are dirty. We will wash you and make you clean," Lily said. + +"Spot, you will look nice and shiny. We will scrub you and rinse you," Tom said. + +They poured some water on Spot and rubbed the soap on his fur. Spot did not like it. He shook his head and tried to get away. He splashed water and soap on Lily and Tom. They got wet and soapy. + +"Spot, stop it! You are making a mess," Lily said. + +"Spot, stay still! You are making us angry," Tom said. + +But Spot did not listen. He ran away from them and into the street. He did not see the car coming. The car hit Spot and he fell down. He did not move or bark. + +Lily and Tom saw what happened. They dropped the bucket and the sponge and ran to Spot. They cried and hugged him. + +"Spot, Spot, wake up! We are sorry. We love you," Lily said. + +"Spot, Spot, please! We did not mean to hurt you. We miss you," Tom said. + +But Spot did not wake up. He was gone. Lily and Tom were sad and sorry. It was a gloomy day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw an enormous tree with red and yellow leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Look, there is a ladder!" Ben said. He pointed to a wooden ladder leaning against the fence. "Let's use it to reach the tree!" + +Anna was scared. She did not like high places. She shook her head. "No, Ben, it is too dangerous. The ladder is old and wobbly. We might fall and hurt ourselves." + +Ben did not listen. He urged Anna to follow him. "Come on, Anna, it will be fun. We can pretend we are birds or monkeys. Don't be a baby!" + +He ran to the ladder and started to climb. Anna followed him, but she was very nervous. She held on to the ladder tightly and looked down. She wished she was on the ground. + +When they reached the top of the ladder, they saw the tree was too far away. They could not jump to the branches. They were stuck on the ladder. + +"Ben, this was a bad idea. How will we get down?" Anna asked. + +Ben looked around. He saw their mom coming out of the house. She looked angry. + +"Ben, Anna, what are you doing up there? Get down right now!" she shouted. + +Ben and Anna felt sorry. They knew they had disobeyed their mom. They climbed down the ladder slowly and carefully. They apologized to their mom and hugged her. + +Mom was glad they were safe. She told them to never play with the ladder again. She said they could climb the tree another day, but only with her help. + +Ben and Anna agreed. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their ball instead. They threw it to each other and laughed. They had fun on the ground. +Lily and Ben are playing with cubes on the floor. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. They like to build towers and houses with the cubes. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily says, showing Ben her creation. She is proud of her tower. It has red, blue, yellow and green cubes. + +"That's nice, Lily. Can I help you?" Ben asks. He wants to play with Lily and her tower. + +"Sure, Ben. You can put more cubes on top. But be careful, don't make it fall!" Lily says. She gives Ben some cubes to add to the tower. + +Ben takes a cube and tries to put it on the tower. But he is not very good at balancing the cubes. The tower wobbles and shakes. Ben is scared. He does not want to ruin Lily's tower. + +"Oops, oops, oops!" Ben says, holding the cube in his hand. He looks at Lily. She is watching him with big eyes. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Lily asks. She is worried. She does not want her tower to fall. + +"Sorry, Lily. I don't know how to do it. Can you show me?" Ben says. He feels bad. He wants to make Lily happy. + +"OK, Ben. I will show you. Give me the cube." Lily says. She reaches out her hand to take the cube from Ben. + +But Ben does not want to give the cube to Lily. He likes the cube. It is a purple cube. Purple is his favorite color. He wants to keep the cube for himself. + +"No, Lily. It's my cube. I found it. You have many cubes. I have only this one." Ben says. He holds the cube tight in his hand. He does not want to share. + +"Ben, that's not nice. You have to share. We are playing together. It's not fair. Give me the cube." Lily says. She is angry. She does not like Ben's behavior. + +"No, no, no!" Ben says. He shakes his head. He does not want to listen to Lily. + +Lily is very angry. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She wants to take the cube from him. She grabs his hand and tries to pull the cube away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. He feels a pain in his hand. Lily is pinching him. She is pinching him hard. He does not like it. It hurts. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Ben says. He lets go of the cube. He does not want to be pinched anymore. + +Lily takes the cube from Ben. She is happy. She has the cube. She puts it on the tower. The tower is complete. It is a beautiful tower. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Lily says. She laughs. She does not care about Ben. She only cares about her tower. + +Ben is sad. He does not have the cube. He does not have a friend. He does not have fun. He looks at Lily and her tower. He feels lonely. + +He wants to play with Lily again. He wants to say sorry. He wants to share. He wants to be nice. + +But he does not know how to do it. He does not know how to talk to Lily. He does not know how to make her happy. + +He sits on the floor. He is quiet. He is open. He is waiting. He is hoping. + +Maybe Lily will come to him. Maybe Lily will forgive him. Maybe Lily will play with him. + +Maybe. +Lila loved to draw with her pastels. She had many colors and she made beautiful pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows. She liked to share her pastels with her friends, but sometimes they did not mind her. They broke her pastels, or they took them without asking, or they made messy marks on her paper. Lila felt sad and angry when this happened. + +One day, Lila was drawing a peaceful scene of a lake and a swan. She was very happy with her picture and she wanted to show it to her teacher. But then, Ben came and grabbed her blue pastel. He said he needed it for his sky. Lila said, "No, Ben, that is my pastel. Please give it back. You can use another blue." But Ben did not listen. He ran away with her pastel and left a big scratch on her picture. + +Lila was very upset. She wanted to cry and yell at Ben. She wanted to take her pastel back and ruin his picture. But then, she remembered what her teacher had told her. She said, "Lila, when someone is not minding you, you can tell them how you feel and ask them to stop. But you should not hurt them or their things. That is not nice. You should be kind and respectful, even if they are not. That is how you can be a good friend and a good person." + +Lila took a deep breath and calmed down. She decided to follow her teacher's advice. She walked up to Ben and said, "Ben, I am very sad and angry. You took my pastel without asking and you scratched my picture. That was not nice. Please give me back my pastel and say sorry. I will not hurt your picture, but I want you to mind me next time." Ben looked at Lila and saw that she was serious. He felt sorry for what he had done. He gave her back her pastel and said, "I am sorry, Lila. I was not minding you. I should have asked you first. Your picture is very beautiful. Can we be friends?" Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I accept your sorry. Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to draw with me?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Can I use your green pastel?" Lila said, "Yes, you can. But please be careful with it. It is my favorite." Ben said, "I will. Thank you, Lila." They went back to their seats and drew together. They both felt happy and peaceful. They learned to mind each other and to be kind and respectful. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They want to make a big castle. + +Tom digs a hole with the shovel. He fills the bucket with sand. He turns the bucket over and makes a tower. He is happy. + +Mia wants to help. She has a long stick. She thinks the stick can make windows and doors. She touches the tower with the stick. She makes a hole. + +Tom is angry. He does not want Mia to touch his tower. He shouts, "No, Mia! Go away! You broke my tower!" + +Mia is sad. She does not want to make Tom angry. She says, "Sorry, Tom. I wanted to help. I thought the stick was good." + +Tom looks at Mia. He sees her sad face. He feels sorry too. He says, "It's okay, Mia. I was mean. You can help me. We can make a new tower. We can use the stick and the shovel." + +Mia smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. We can make a big castle together." + +Tom and Mia hug. They play in the sand. They have fun. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make a big castle with many towers and walls. They put some toy knights and princesses inside the castle. They are happy and proud of their castle. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is Sara's big brother. He is noisy and mean. He says, "Your castle is silly and ugly. I can break it with one kick." He lifts his foot and laughs. + +Sara and Ben are scared and sad. They don't want Tom to break their castle. They worked hard to make it. They say, "No, Tom, please don't. We like our castle. Go away." + +But Tom does not listen. He kicks the castle and makes it fall. The blocks scatter everywhere. The toy knights and princesses fly out. Sara and Ben cry. They are angry and hurt. + +Mom hears the noise and comes. She sees the mess and the tears. She is mad at Tom. She says, "Tom, that was very bad. You should not break other people's things. You should say sorry to Sara and Ben. And you should help them to make a new castle." + +Tom feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He says, "Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben. I was mean. I will help you to make a new castle." + +Sara and Ben stop crying. They are still sad, but they are also kind. They say, "Thank you, Tom. We forgive you. You can help us to make a new castle." + +Mom smiles. She is glad that they are friends again. She says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. You are nice to each other. You can make a new castle together. And I will encourage you and praise you." + +Sara, Ben, and Tom hug Mom. They are happy and grateful. They pick up the blocks and the toys. They start to make a new castle. They make it bigger and better than before. They are not noisy. They are quiet and careful. They have fun and learn. They love their castle and each other. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with paper and crayons. One day, they found a big machine in the library. It had a button that said "print". Lily wanted to try it. + +"Look, Ben, we can make more paper with this!" she said. + +Ben was scared. He saw a sign that said "do not touch". He knew that some machines were dangerous. + +"Lily, no, we should not touch that. It is not for us. It is for big people. Come on, let's go back to our books," he said. + +But Lily did not listen. She was curious. She pushed the button. The machine made a loud noise. It started to spit out paper. Lots of paper. Too much paper. The paper filled the room. Lily and Ben were trapped. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. But no one heard them. The machine did not stop. The paper covered them. They could not breathe. + +The librarian came back from her break. She saw the mess. She saw the machine. She saw the sign. She was angry. + +"Who did this? Who was so stupid to touch the machine?" she shouted. + +She looked for the culprits. She saw two lumps under the paper. She pulled them out. They were Lily and Ben. They were not moving. They were not breathing. They were dead. + +The librarian gasped. She felt sorry. She felt sad. She felt guilty. She should have locked the door. She should have watched the kids. She should have stopped the machine. + +She called for help. But it was too late. Lily and Ben were gone. They had paid a high price for their curiosity. They had learned a hard lesson. But they could not tell anyone. They could not print anymore. +Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her feelings. She kept her journal under her pillow, so no one else could see it. She felt happy when she wrote in her journal. + +One day, Lily's mom told her to clean her room. Lily did not want to clean her room. She wanted to play with her dolls and read her books. She did not like to put her things away. She thought it was boring and hard. She told her mom, "I don't want to clean my room!" + +Her mom said, "You have to clean your room, Lily. It is too messy. You can play after you clean. If you don't clean your room, you will lose your journal." + +Lily did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was joking. She said, "You can't take my journal! It is mine! I love my journal!" + +Her mom said, "I'm not joking, Lily. If you don't clean your room by dinner time, I will take your journal and hide it. You will not get it back until you clean your room. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded, but she did not listen. She thought her mom would forget. She went to her room and played with her dolls and read her books. She did not clean her room. She did not write in her journal. + +When dinner time came, her mom came to her room and saw the mess. She was angry. She said, "Lily, you did not clean your room. You did not do what I told you. Now you have to face the consequences. Give me your journal." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to lose her journal. She said, "No, mom, please! Don't take my journal! I'm sorry, I'll clean my room, I promise!" + +But it was too late. Her mom took her journal and hid it. She said, "You can have your journal back when you clean your room. No more excuses. No more playing. Go and clean your room now." + +Lily cried. She felt sad and lonely. She did not have her journal. She did not have her friends. She did not have her dreams. She did not have her feelings. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had cleaned her room. She wished she had written in her journal. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the pigs and watch the horses run. But they did not like the cow. The cow was big and loud and mean. She would moo and kick and chase them away from her grass. + +One day, Ben and Lily found a bucket of apples near the barn. They were happy and hungry and wanted to share them. They each took an apple and bit into it. It was sweet and juicy and made them smile. + +But the cow saw them and was jealous. She wanted the apples too. She did not like to share. She ran towards them, mooing and snorting. Ben and Lily were scared and dropped their apples. They tried to run away, but the cow was faster. + +She caught up with Lily and slapped her with her tail. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She cried and called for Ben. Ben heard her and turned around. He saw the cow and was angry. He picked up a stick and threw it at the cow. He hoped to make her go away. + +But the stick hit the cow on the head and made her more angry. She shook her head and charged at Ben. Ben did not have time to run. He screamed and closed his eyes. The cow slammed into him and knocked him down. He hit his head on a rock and did not move. + +The cow snorted and walked away. She ate the apples and was happy. Ben and Lily were not happy. They were hurt and sad. They wished they had never seen the cow. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play outside. They have a purple ball that they can kick, throw and catch. One day, they want to play with the ball in the park, but their moms say they have to do some exercise first. They have to run, jump and stretch for ten minutes. + +Anna and Ben do not like exercise. They think it is boring and hard. They want to play with the ball right away. They decide to delay their exercise and sneak out with the ball. They run to the park and have fun with the ball. + +But soon, they feel tired and thirsty. They do not have any water or snacks. They also see some bigger kids who want to take their ball. They are scared and sad. They wish they had done their exercise and listened to their moms. + +They run back to their homes and tell their moms what happened. Their moms are not happy. They say that exercise is good for them and helps them stay healthy and strong. They also say that delaying things they have to do is not smart and can cause trouble. They take away the ball and make them do their exercise. + +Anna and Ben learn their lesson. They do their exercise and say sorry to their moms. They promise to not delay their tasks again. Their moms forgive them and give them back the ball. They go to the park and play with the ball, but this time they feel better and happier. They also share the ball with the bigger kids and make new friends. + +The moral of the story is: Do not delay things you have to do and do your exercise. It will make you feel good and avoid problems. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big basket with many eggs. The eggs had different colors and patterns. Ben and Lily wanted to see what was inside the eggs. + +"Let's open them!" Ben said. He picked up a blue egg and tried to break it. But the egg was hard and did not crack. Ben felt sad. He wanted to see what was inside the blue egg. + +"Maybe we need to wait," Lily said. She picked up a yellow egg and held it in her hands. She felt something move inside the egg. She felt happy. She wanted to see what was inside the yellow egg. + +"Look, Ben, this egg is alive!" Lily said. She showed Ben the yellow egg. Ben felt curious. He wanted to see what was inside the yellow egg too. + +They put the yellow egg on the grass and watched it. The egg started to shake and make noises. Ben and Lily felt excited. They moved closer to the egg. The egg cracked and a baby chick came out. The chick was fluffy and cute. It peeped and looked at Ben and Lily. + +"Hello, little chick!" Ben and Lily said. They felt amazed. They had never seen a baby chick before. They thought it was brilliant. They wanted to play with the chick and see the other eggs. They felt happy. They had found a big surprise in the garden. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big oak tree with many branches. Tom said, "I dare you to climb the tree and touch the top leaf." Lily was scared, but she did not want to look like a baby. She said, "OK, I will do it. But you have to do it too." + +Lily started to climb the tree. She was careful, but it was hard. The branches were slippery and the leaves were prickly. She looked down and saw Tom watching her. She wanted to go back, but she did not want to lose the dare. She climbed higher and higher, until she saw the top leaf. She reached out her hand and touched it. She felt proud, but also dizzy. + +She heard Tom shout, "Good job, Lily! Now come down!" She tried to come down, but she slipped and fell. She landed on the grass, but she hurt her arm and leg. She cried out loud. Tom ran to her and said, "Are you OK, Lily? I'm sorry, I should not have dared you to climb the tree. It was too dangerous. I feel guilty." + +Lily said, "It's OK, Tom. I should not have agreed to do it. I was too brave. I feel guilty too." They hugged each other and said sorry. Then they saw a lady coming to them. She was a nurse. She said, "What happened, children? You are hurt. Come with me, I will help you." She took them to a bench and bandaged their wounds. She said, "You are lucky, it could have been worse. Next time, be careful and do not do things that are risky. Climbing trees is fun, but only if you know how to do it safely. And do not dare each other to do things that are bad. Dares are not good. They can make you do things that you regret. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we understand. Thank you, nurse. We learned our lesson. We will not do dares again. We will play nicely and safely." The nurse smiled and said, "That's good. Now go and have fun, but be careful. And remember, if you need help, ask an adult." She waved goodbye and left. Tom and Lily thanked her again and went to play with their ball. They were happy and they were friends. They did not do dares anymore. They did not feel guilty anymore. They felt good. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to listen to Mom when she tells them to clean their room. They think it is boring and hard. + +One day, Mom has to go to work. She says, "Tom and Lily, I have to mail some letters at the post office. You stay here with Grandma. She will watch you and make you lunch. And please, clean your room before I come back. I do not want to give you a lecture again." + +Tom and Lily nod, but they do not really listen. They say, "Bye, Mom. Have a good day." They wave to her as she leaves. + +As soon as Mom is gone, Tom and Lily run to their room. They do not clean it. They make it more messy. They throw their toys and books everywhere. They jump on the bed and the pillows. They laugh and scream. + +Grandma hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? This is not how you play. This is how you make a rough mess. You are not being good children. You are being naughty. You did not listen to Mom. She will be very sad and mad when she sees this. You have to clean your room right now. And no more playing until you do. This is your lecture." + +Tom and Lily stop laughing and screaming. They look at Grandma. They look at the mess. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, Grandma. We were having fun. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean it. We will listen to Mom. We do not want her to be sad and mad. We love her." + +Grandma nods. She says, "That is good. I love you too. But you have to show it by being good and doing what Mom says. Now, start cleaning. I will help you. And then we will have lunch. And maybe, if you finish, we can read a story together." + +Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Thank you, Grandma. You are very nice. We will do our best. We like stories." They start to pick up their toys and books. They hope Mom will be happy when she comes back. They hope she will not have to mail any more letters. They hope she will have time to play with them. They love Mom. They love Grandma. They love each other. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see some green things in the dirt. They are carrots. + +"Let's pull the carrots out!" Tom says. He pulls hard on a green thing. It does not move. He pulls harder. It still does not move. + +"Help me, Sue!" Tom says. Sue comes and pulls with Tom. They pull and pull and pull. The green thing comes out. It is a very big carrot. It is bigger than Tom's head. + +"Wow!" Tom and Sue say. They are happy. They want to show the carrot to mom and dad. + +They run to the house with the carrot. They see an old man on the porch. He is mom's dad. He is grandpa. + +"Look, grandpa, look!" Tom and Sue say. They show him the carrot. + +"That's a fine carrot, kids," grandpa says. He smiles. He likes carrots. He is old, but he has good teeth. + +"Can we eat it, grandpa?" Tom and Sue ask. + +"Sure, you can," grandpa says. "But first, you have to wash it. And maybe share it with me." + +Tom and Sue nod. They are nice kids. They like to share. They go to the kitchen with the carrot. They wash it and cut it. They give some to grandpa and some to mom and dad. They eat the rest. The carrot is sweet and crunchy. They like it. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But Tom wanted to have all the blocks for himself. He took some blocks from Lily's tower and made his own bigger. + +"Stop, Tom!" Lily said. "That is not nice. Give me back my blocks!" + +"No, they are mine!" Tom said. "You have enough. I want more!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She tried to grab some blocks from Tom's tower, but he pushed her away. His tower fell down and made a loud noise. The blocks went everywhere. + +"Look what you did!" Tom said. "You made a mess. You are ugly and mean!" + +Lily started to cry. She did not like Tom's words. She did not want to play with him anymore. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and the tears and the angry faces. + +"What is going on here?" Mom said. "Why are you fighting? You are in trouble!" + +Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they did something bad. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We were not sharing. We were not kind." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I am glad you are sorry. Sharing is important. Kindness is important. You are not ugly and mean. You are beautiful and sweet. But you need to say sorry to each other and help clean up the mess." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said sorry to each other and gave each other a hug. They helped Mom pick up the blocks and put them away. They learned their lesson. They decided to play nicely and share their toys. They were happy again. +Sara and Ben love to play in the garden. They like to dig and find bugs and worms. One day, they find a big carrot with a long green tail. Sara says, "Let's eat it! It looks delicious!" Ben says, "No, wait! We have to wash it first. It might be dirty." + +They run to the house with the carrot. But they forget to close the gate. A big rabbit hops into the garden. He sees the carrot and thinks, "Yum! That looks delicious!" He bites the carrot's tail and pulls it out of the ground. + +Sara and Ben come back with a bowl of water. They see the rabbit with the carrot in his mouth. They scream, "Hey! That's our carrot! Give it back!" The rabbit runs away with the carrot. Sara and Ben chase him, but he is too fast. + +The rabbit finds a hole under a tree. He goes inside and eats the carrot. He thinks, "That was delicious!" But he does not know that the carrot was old and rotten. He starts to feel sick. His tummy hurts and he feels dizzy. He wishes he had not eaten the carrot. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They lost their carrot. They go back to the garden and look for another one. They find a small carrot with a short yellow tail. Sara says, "Let's eat this one! It looks fresh and yummy!" Ben says, "OK, but let's wash it first. And let's close the gate this time." They wash the carrot and eat it. They think, "That was delicious!" And they do not feel sick. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice on it. The truck had a loud bell that made a ding-ding sound. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"It is an ice truck. It has ice that you can eat. It is sweet and cold and yummy," Lily said. + +"I want some ice. Do you have money?" Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. "No, I don't. Do you?" + +Ben looked in his pockets. He found a shiny coin. "I have one coin. Maybe we can buy one ice and share it," he said. + +They ran to the ice truck and waited in line. When it was their turn, they saw many colors of ice. There was red, yellow, green, blue, and pink. + +"Which one do you want?" the ice man asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They both liked pink. + +"Can we have one pink ice, please?" Ben said. He gave the ice man his coin. + +The ice man smiled and gave them a big cup of pink ice. He also gave them two spoons. + +"Here you go. Enjoy your ice. You are very lucky to have a coin. Some kids don't have any money. You are rich," he said. + +Ben and Lily thanked the ice man and walked to a bench. They sat down and took turns to eat the ice. It was sweet and cold and yummy. They felt happy and excited. + +"This is the best ice ever. Thank you for sharing with me," Lily said. + +"Thank you for being my friend. You are the best," Ben said. + +They finished their ice and hugged each other. They decided to play some more in the park. They had a fun day. +Lila was hungry. She wanted to eat rice with her mom and dad. They cooked rice in a big pot on the stove. It smelled good. + +But Lila was careless. She did not wait for the rice to cool down. She took a big spoon and put some rice in her mouth. It was very hot. It burned her tongue. She spit it out and cried. + +Mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the rice on the floor and on Lila's face. They were worried. They hugged Lila and gave her some water. They said, "Lila, you have to be careful. The rice is hot. You have to wait for it to cool down. Then you can taste it. It will be yummy." + +Lila felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was careless. I wanted to taste the rice. It smelled good. But it was hot. It hurt my tongue." + +Mom and dad kissed her tongue. They said, "It's okay, Lila. We love you. Your tongue will feel better soon. Let's clean up the mess and eat the rice together. It will be cool enough now. You can taste it. It will be yummy." +Sara likes to swim. She swims fast and strong. She is on a swim team with other kids. They swim together and have fun. + +One day, Sara meets a new kid on the team. His name is Ben. Ben is thin and shy. He does not swim very well. He is scared of the water. + +"Hi, Ben. I am Sara. Do you want to swim with me?" Sara asks. + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I don't like to swim. I am too thin. The water is too cold. The other kids are too fast. They laugh at me." + +Sara feels sad for Ben. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. You can swim. You are not too thin. The water is not too cold. The other kids are not too fast. They will not laugh at you. They are your friends. They are your team. I will help you. Come on, let's swim." + +Sara takes Ben's hand and leads him to the pool. She shows him how to kick and splash and float. She cheers him on and smiles at him. Ben feels brave and happy. He tries to swim. He swims a little bit. He likes it. + +Sara and Ben swim together. They have fun. They are friends. They are on the same team. They like to swim. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far. + +One time, the ball rolled near a big tree. Lily ran to get it, but she did not see a hole in the ground. She stepped in the hole and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Ben heard her cry and ran to help her. He saw her knee was bleeding and said, "Oh no, Lily, are you okay?" + +Lily looked at her knee and felt scared. She said, "It hurts, Ben, it hurts a lot." + +Ben looked around and saw a bench nearby. He said, "Come on, Lily, let's go to the bench. Maybe we can find a band-aid or something." + +He helped her get up and walk to the bench. He saw a lady sitting on the bench with a bag. He said, "Excuse me, lady, can you help us? My friend fell and hurt her knee. Do you have a band-aid or something?" + +The lady looked at Lily and Ben and smiled. She said, "Of course, I can help you. I have some band-aids and some wipes in my bag. Here, let me see your knee, Lily." + +She took out a band-aid and a wipe and cleaned Lily's knee. She put the band-aid on the wound and said, "There you go, Lily, that should feel better. You were very brave." + +Lily looked at the lady and said, "Thank you, lady, you are very nice." + +The lady said, "You're welcome, Lily. What are your names?" + +Lily said, "I'm Lily and this is Ben. We were playing with our ball, but I fell in a hole." + +The lady said, "I see. Well, accidents happen sometimes. But you should be careful and watch where you step. The ground can have holes or rocks or sticks that can make you trip or fall." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will, lady, I will. I'm sorry I fell." + +The lady said, "Don't be sorry, Lily. It was not your fault. But don't be ashamed either. Everyone falls sometimes. The important thing is to get up and try again. And to have a good friend like Ben who helps you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Ben is a good friend. He always helps me. And I always help him." + +Ben smiled and said, "That's right, Lily. We are good friends. And we still have our ball. Do you want to play some more?" + +Lily looked at her knee and said, "Yes, Ben, I do. But can we play somewhere else? Somewhere without holes?" + +Ben said, "Sure, Lily, we can. How about over there, by the swings?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Ben, let's go. And thank you, lady, for the band-aid and the wipe. And for the nice words." + +The lady said, "You're very welcome, Lily and Ben. Have fun and be careful. And remember, don't be ashamed of falling. Be proud of getting up." + +Lily and Ben said, "We will, lady, we will." And they ran to the swings with their ball, happy and proud. +Tim and Sue like to play on the farm. They like to see the cows, the pigs and the chickens. They also like to feed the horses some oats.

She asks her mom to buy it for her. + +Mom says, "OK, but we have to measure it first. Maybe it is too big for your bookcase." Mom takes a tape and measures the book. It is 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide. Mom says, "This book is very big. It will not fit on your bookcase. You have to choose a smaller book." + +Anna is sad. She really wants the big book. She thinks for a while. Then she has an idea. She says, "Mom, can we buy a new bookcase? A bigger one? Then I can put the big book on it. And I can have more space for my other books too." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is a good idea, Anna. But we have to measure the space in your room first. Maybe there is no room for a bigger bookcase. Let's go home and see." Mom and Anna take the big book and the tape and go home. They measure the space in Anna's room. They find a place where a bigger bookcase can fit. Mom says, "You are lucky, Anna. There is enough space for a bigger bookcase. We can go to the furniture shop and buy one. But you have to help me carry it and assemble it." + +Anna is happy. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I will help you. And I will read the big book to you when we finish."

They knew their mom and dad did not want them to go there, but they were curious and bored. + +They waited until their mom was busy in the kitchen and their dad was working in the garage. Then they sneaked up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and dusty and full of old things. They saw a big chest, a broken lamp, a pile of clothes and a strip of carpet. They wondered what was inside the chest and what the clothes looked like. + +They opened the chest and found some costumes and masks and hats. They decided to try them on and pretend to be different people. Lily put on a long dress and a feather boa and a hat with flowers. She said, "I am a lady who goes to parties and dances." Max put on a coat and a scarf and a hat with a feather. He said, "I am a pirate who sails the seas and finds treasure." They laughed and danced and played in the attic. + +But they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not hear their dad coming up the stairs. They did not see the door opening behind them. They only heard a loud voice saying, "What are you doing here? You are not supposed to be in the attic! You are disturbing everything!" + +They turned around and saw their dad looking angry and surprised. They felt scared and sorry. They took off the costumes and masks and hats and put them back in the chest. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were just playing. We wanted to be adventurous." + +Their dad sighed and shook his head. He said, "I know you like to play, but you have to follow the rules. The attic is not safe for you. There are things that can hurt you or make you sick. And you have to listen to your mom and me. We call you for a reason. Now come downstairs and have your lunch. And no more going to the attic, okay?" + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Okay, dad. We are sorry." They followed their dad downstairs and hugged their mom. They had their lunch and told their mom about their adventure. Their mom smiled and said, "You have a lot of imagination, but you have to be careful. Maybe next time you can play in the backyard or the park. There are many things to see and do there too." + +Lily and Max agreed and said, "Yes, mom. We will." They finished their lunch and went to their room. They still liked to play in their room, but they did not go to the attic again. They learned their lesson and did not want to disturb anything or anyone. +Ben was a stubborn boy. He did not like to share his toys with his sister Mia. He had a big box where he kept his best toys.

She picked one and smiled. + +But Ben saw her. He ran to his room and shouted. He saw Mia with his toy. He was very mad. He grabbed the toy from her and pushed her away.

She said Ben was wrong and he should share. She said she had a gift for Mia too. She gave her a small box and said it was a surprise. + +Mia opened the box and gasped. Inside was a beautiful doll. She had long hair and a pretty dress. She looked like a princess. Mia loved the doll. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She said it was the best gift ever. + +Ben saw Mia with the doll.

They think the monster is real and wants to eat them. + +But then, they hear a familiar voice. It says, "Don't be afraid, it's me, Dad!" They look up and see that the monster is Ben's dad. He is wearing a mask and a costume. He laughs and says, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to surprise you. Did you like my costume?" + +Lily and Ben are relieved. They realize it was a joke. They laugh and say, "Yes, we liked your costume. But it was very scary. You scared us a lot!" + +Ben's dad says, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you so much. How about we join your party and have some fun?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, that sounds good. Come in, Dad. We have candy and juice. And we have scary costumes and scary decorations.

They are yummy and good for me too." + +Mom frowned. She was angry. She said, "No, Lily, you can't have cookies and milk for dinner. They are not good for you. They are only for dessert. You have to eat your soup and bread and cheese first, or you will get sick." + +Lily pouted. She was angry too. She said, "No, Mom, I don't want to eat. I want to go to bed. I am very tired. I don't like soup and bread and cheese. They are yucky and bad for me." + +Mom sighed. She was sad. She said, "Lily, please don't be angry. I love you and I want you to be healthy and happy. Soup and bread and cheese are not yucky and bad for you. They are tasty and good for you. They will make you strong and smart. Please try some. You can have cookies and milk later, if you eat your dinner." + +Lily looked at Mom. She saw that Mom was wearing a pretty blouse with flowers on it. She liked Mom's blouse. She liked Mom too. She did not want to make Mom sad. She said, "Okay, Mom, I will try some soup and bread and cheese. But can I have cookies and milk after?" + +Mom smiled. She was happy.

"Let's have a picnic!" + +"Good idea!" Sue said. "But we need a blanket and some plates." + +They ran inside to get what they needed. They did not see their mom, who was busy in the kitchen. They did not hear her say, "Don't touch the cooler, kids. That's for the party later." + +They came back outside with a blanket and some plates. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the plates on it. They marched to the cooler and took out some snacks. They put them on the plates and smiled. + +"Yum, this looks delicious!" Tim said.

It had a picture of a bathroom on the cover. Sara wondered what the book was about. + +She took the book and showed it to her mom. "Mom, what is this book?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "This book is about how to use the bathroom. It teaches you how to go potty, wash your hands, and brush your teeth. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to learn how to use the bathroom." + +Mom and Sara sat on the couch and opened the book. They read the words and looked at the pictures. Sara learned that using the bathroom was important for being healthy and clean. She also learned that she should not be afraid or ashamed of using the bathroom. She should be proud of herself for being a big girl. + +After they finished the book, Sara said, "Mom, can I try to use the bathroom by myself?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. I will be right here if you need me. You are a very smart and brave girl, Sara." + +Sara smiled and ran to the bathroom. She followed the steps that she learned from the book. She went potty, flushed the toilet, washed her hands, and brushed her teeth. She felt happy and proud. She came back to the couch and hugged her mom. + +"Mom, I did it! I used the bathroom by myself!" she said. + +Mom hugged her back and said, "I'm so proud of you, Sara. You are a very healthy and wonderful girl." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with colors and paper. One day, they find a big machine in the library. It is a printer. They want to try it. + +"Look, Sara, we can print anything we want!" Ben says. He shows Sara a button on the machine. It says "print". + +"What do you want to print, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"I want to print a purple dinosaur. Purple is my favorite color. What about you, Sara?" + +"I want to print a peaceful garden. I like flowers and trees and birds. They make me happy." + +They draw their pictures on the computer. Then they press the print button. The machine makes a noise and spits out their pictures. They are very happy. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Sara says. She holds her garden picture. + +"Yes, they are!" Ben says. He holds his dinosaur picture. + +They hug each other and smile. They are proud of their prints. They decide to hang them on the wall of the library. They think everyone will like them. They are good friends. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long yellow hair and a pretty pink skirt. Lily liked to attach bows and ribbons to Anna's hair and skirt. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. But he did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and dinosaurs. He saw Anna on Lily's bed and grabbed her. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily shouted. "Give her back!" + +"No, I want to play with her," Tom said. "She's chubby and funny. Look, I can make her fly!" + +Tom threw Anna in the air and caught her. He made loud noises like a plane. Anna's skirt flew up and down. Lily was angry and scared. She did not want Tom to hurt Anna. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Lily cried. "You're ruining her skirt! You're pulling her hair!" + +Lily ran to Tom and tried to take Anna back. But Tom was bigger and stronger. He pushed Lily away and laughed. + +"Go away, Lily. You're a baby. You can't play with me." + +Lily felt sad and mad. She wanted her doll back. She wanted Tom to leave her alone. She looked around and saw something on the floor. It was Tom's favorite dinosaur toy. It was green and spiky and scary. + +Lily had an idea. She picked up the dinosaur and ran to Tom. She threw the dinosaur at him and hit him on the head. + +"Ow!" Tom yelled. "That hurt! What did you do that for?" + +Lily grabbed Anna from Tom's hands and hugged her. She looked at Tom and said: + +"That's for taking my doll. You're a meanie. You can't play with me." + +Tom rubbed his head and glared at Lily. He was about to say something, but then he heard their mom calling. + +"Tom, Lily, time for lunch!" + +Tom and Lily put their toys away and ran to the kitchen. They did not talk to each other. They were still mad. But they also felt a little sorry. Maybe later, they would say sorry and play nicely. Maybe. +Anna was sick. She had a bad pain in her ear. Mom took her to the doctor. The doctor looked at her ear and said, "You have an infection. You need a needle to make it better." + +Anna was scared of the needle. She did not want the doctor to poke her. She cried and hid behind Mom. Mom hugged her and said, "I know you are afraid, but the needle will help you. It will be very quick and then you will feel better. Do you want to pray with me?" + +Anna nodded. She closed her eyes and held Mom's hand. Mom prayed, "Dear God, please help Anna to be brave and to heal her ear. Please make the needle not hurt too much. Please protect her from being deaf. Thank you for loving us. Amen." + +The doctor smiled and said, "That was a beautiful prayer. Are you ready for the needle now?" Anna opened her eyes and nodded again. She took a deep breath and let the doctor give her the needle. It pinched a little, but it was over soon. The doctor gave her a sticker and said, "You did a great job. You are very brave. Your ear will get better soon. Take this medicine and rest at home." + +Anna thanked the doctor and hugged Mom. She felt proud of herself and happy that God heard her prayer. She hoped her ear would not hurt anymore and that she would not be deaf. She said, "Mom, can we go home and read a book?" Mom said, "Of course, my sweet girl. I love you very much." They went home and read a book together. Anna felt safe and loved. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big drum in the park. It is light and shiny. They want to use the drum. + +"Can I use the drum first?" Tom asks. + +"No, I want to use the drum first!" Lily says. + +They both pull the drum. They are not happy. They make a loud noise. + +A man comes to the park. He sees Tom and Lily. He smiles. He has a guitar. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like music?" he asks. + +"Yes, we like music!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Then why don't you share the drum and play with me? I can teach you a song." he says. + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They nod. They let go of the drum. They take turns to use the drum. The man plays the guitar. They sing a song. They are happy. They make a nice noise. +Sara and Tom like to play with their toys on the rug. The rug is soft and has many colors. But one day, the rug has a big hole in it. Sara and Tom are sad. They do not want to play on the rug with a hole. + +Mom sees the hole and says, "Don't worry, I can fix the rug. I have a needle and some thread. You can help me if you want." Sara and Tom want to help. They are helpful children. They bring the needle and the thread to Mom. + +Mom shows Sara and Tom how to sew the hole. She says, "We have to be careful with the needle. It is sharp and can hurt us. We have to push the needle through the rug and pull the thread. Then we have to do it again and again until the hole is gone." Sara and Tom watch Mom and try to do the same. They are careful with the needle. + +Soon, the hole is gone. The rug looks like new. Sara and Tom are happy. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. You fixed the rug. We helped you." Mom smiles and says, "You are very welcome. You are very helpful. I am proud of you. Now you can play on the rug again." Sara and Tom put their toys on the rug and play. They have fun on the rug. They love their Mom and their rug. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Tom found a big worm and showed it to Lily. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said no. He said it was his worm and he did not want to share. + +Lily was angry. She grabbed the worm from Tom's hand and ran away. Tom chased her and tried to get his worm back. They ran around the garden, bumping into flowers and pots. They did not see the sharp rock on the ground. + +Lily tripped on the rock and fell down. She dropped the worm and hurt her knee. She cried out loud. Tom saw blood on her knee. He felt sorry for her. He forgot about the worm and ran to her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked. He saw a cut on her knee. It looked bad. + +"It hurts, Tom. It hurts a lot." Lily said. She sobbed and held her knee. + +Tom did not know what to do. He remembered that his mom had a box with bandages and medicine. He said, "Wait here, Lily. I will get something to help you. It will make your cut heal." + +He ran inside the house and looked for the box. He found it in the bathroom. He opened it and took out a bandage and a tube of cream. He ran back to the garden. He saw Lily still crying on the ground. He saw the worm crawling away. He did not care about it anymore. + +He knelt down next to Lily and said, "Don't cry, Lily. I have something for you. This cream will make your cut feel better. And this bandage will cover it and keep it clean." + +He squeezed some cream on the cut and gently rubbed it. Lily winced and said, "Ow, Tom. That stings." + +Tom said, "I know, Lily. But it will help you heal. Trust me." He wrapped the bandage around her knee and tied it. He said, "There. All done. How do you feel now?" + +Lily looked at her knee and saw the bandage. She felt the cream cooling her skin. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. I feel a little better now." + +Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. We can be friends again. I'm sorry I took your worm. Can we share it?" + +Tom said, "Sure, Lily. We can share it. But let's put it back in the dirt. It must be scared and lonely." + +They picked up the worm and put it back in the hole they dug. They watched it wiggle and disappear. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, worm. We hope you heal too." + +They heard their mom calling them from the house. She said, "Tom, Lily, come inside. It's time for lunch. And wash your hands. You are very messy." + +They looked at each other and laughed. They were very messy. They had dirt on their clothes and faces and hands. They said, "Okay, mom. We are coming." + +They ran inside the house, holding hands. They were happy. They were friends. They were healing. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Anna saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. + +"Look, Ben, a caterpillar!" Anna said. "It is so cute. Can I keep it?" + +Ben came closer and looked at the caterpillar. He shook his head. + +"No, Anna, you can't keep it. Caterpillars need to eat leaves and make cocoons. They turn into butterflies. You can't keep a butterfly in a jar." + +Anna pouted. She wanted the caterpillar. She thought it was her friend. + +"But I like it, Ben. It is rare. I never saw a caterpillar like this before. Please, let me keep it. I will feed it and love it." + +She insisted. She held the leaf with the caterpillar close to her chest. + +Ben sighed. He knew Anna was stubborn. He tried to explain. + +"Anna, listen. It is rare because it is special. It is not like other caterpillars. It has a different color and pattern. Maybe it is a special kind of butterfly. If you keep it, you will never see it fly. It will be sad and lonely. Don't you want it to be happy?" + +Anna looked at the caterpillar. She saw its tiny eyes and legs. She wondered what it would look like as a butterfly. She felt sorry for it. + +She nodded. She understood. She gave the leaf with the caterpillar to Ben. + +"Okay, Ben. You are right. I want it to be happy. Let's put it back on the plant. Maybe we can see it again when it is a butterfly." + +Ben smiled. He was proud of Anna. He took the leaf and gently placed it on the plant. He hugged Anna. + +"Good girl, Anna. You are very kind. Maybe we can come back and see it again. Maybe it will be a beautiful butterfly. Maybe it will say thank you to you." + +Anna smiled. She hoped so. She liked butterflies. She liked Ben. She liked the garden. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and had a flag. + +"Look, Lily, a boat!" Ben said. "Maybe it has pirates on it!" + +Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, pirates are bad. Maybe it has nice people on it. Maybe they are looking for whales." + +"Whales?" Ben asked. "What are whales?" + +Lily pointed to the sea. "Whales are big fish that can sing and splash. They are very nice. I saw one on TV once. It was blue and had a big mouth." + +Ben nodded. He wanted to see a whale too. He thought they sounded fun. + +They ran to the edge of the water and waved at the boat. They hoped the people on the boat would wave back. But they did not. They were too busy looking at something with big binoculars. + +"What are they doing?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are nosy. Maybe they want to see what we are doing." + +They did not like that. They did not like nosy people. They wanted to play in peace. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was like a horn, but deeper and longer. They looked at the sea and saw a big splash. It was a whale! It had jumped out of the water and landed with a big splash. It was gray and had a small eye. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben said. "A whale! A whale!" + +They clapped and cheered. They were so happy to see a whale. They forgot about the boat and the nosy people. They only looked at the whale. + +The whale looked at them too. It seemed to smile. It made another noise. It was like a song, but softer and sweeter. It was saying hello. + +"Hello, whale!" Lily and Ben said. "We are Lily and Ben. We are your friends." + +The whale nodded. It was happy to have friends. It made another splash. It was saying goodbye. + +"Goodbye, whale!" Lily and Ben said. "We hope to see you again. We love you." + +The whale waved with its tail. It loved them too. It swam away. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were so happy. They had seen a whale. They had made a new friend. They did not care about the boat and the nosy people anymore. They only cared about the whale. + +They ran back to their buckets and shovels. They decided to make a sand whale. They wanted to remember their special day. They did not weep. They smiled. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making different noises with their cars, dolls and blocks. They pretend they are driving, talking and building. + +Suddenly, Tom feels a tickle in his nose. He tries to stop it, but he can't. He sneezes very loud. "Achoo!" + +Lily jumps and looks at him. She laughs and says, "Wow, Tom, that was a great sneeze! You sound like a lion!" + +Tom smiles and rubs his nose. He says, "Thank you, Lily. I think I have a cold. Do you want a tissue?" + +Lily nods and takes a tissue from the box. She gives it to Tom and says, "Here you go, Tom. I hope you feel better soon. Can we still play?" + +Tom says, "Yes, we can still play. But we have to be careful. We don't want to spread germs. Let's wash our hands first." + +They go to the bathroom and wash their hands with soap and water. Then they go back to the living room and continue playing with their toys. They make more noises, but they also say, "Bless you!" when they sneeze. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She did not like to share with her brother or her friends. She did not know how to say thank you or sorry. + +One day, Lily saw a big box in the mailbox. She ran to get it and opened it. Inside, there was a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. Lily was very happy and hugged the doll. + +"Look, Mommy, look what I got!" she shouted. + +Mommy came and looked at the box. She saw a card that said: "To Lily, from Grandma. Happy birthday, sweetie. I hope you like your gift." + +Mommy smiled and said: "That's very nice of Grandma. She loves you very much. Do you know what you should do now?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to do anything. She just wanted to play with her doll. + +Mommy said: "You should write a thank you note to Grandma and put it in the mailbox. She will be very happy to hear from you." + +Lily frowned and said: "No, I don't want to. That's boring. I want to play with my doll." + +Mommy said: "Lily, that's not nice. Grandma was very kind to send you a gift. You should be grateful and polite. Writing a thank you note is not hard. I can help you." + +Lily said: "No, no, no. I don't care. I don't want to write anything. Go away, Mommy. Leave me alone." + +Mommy was very sad and angry. She said: "Lily, you are being very spoiled and rude. You don't know how to appreciate what you have. You don't deserve this doll. I'm taking it away until you learn to be more respectful." + +Mommy took the doll from Lily and put it in a closet. Lily cried and screamed. She wanted her doll back. She did not understand why Mommy was so mean. + +Mommy said: "Lily, you can have your doll back when you write a thank you note to Grandma and put it in the mailbox. That's the right thing to do. Maybe then you will know how to be more thankful and kind." + +Lily did not like this. She did not want to write anything. She did not want to be kind. She just wanted her doll. She was very spoiled. She did not know how to be happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Anna has a big smile. She has something in her hand. It is an invitation. + +"Look, Ben! I have an invitation. It is for a party. It is from Lily. She is my cousin. She lives far away. Do you want to come with me?" Anna asks. + +Ben looks at the invitation. It has a picture of a cake and balloons. It looks fun. He nods. "Yes, I want to come. When is the party?" he asks. + +Anna reads the invitation. She knows some words. "The party is on Saturday. We have to go on a train. The train is fast and loud. It goes ring-ring-ring. Do you like trains?" she asks. + +Ben thinks. He has never been on a train. He is a little scared. But he likes ring-ring-ring. He likes Anna. He says, "I like trains. I like ring-ring-ring. I like you. Let's go to the party." + +Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They tell their moms and dads. They pack their bags. They have some toys and books. They have some clothes. Their bags are heavy. They need help. Their moms and dads help them. They go to the station. They find the train. They get on the train. They sit by the window. They see the trees and houses. They hear the ring-ring-ring. They wave to the people. They are excited. They are going to the party. +Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look at my tower!" Anna said. "It is very tall and strong. It has red and blue and yellow blocks." + +"It is incredible!" Ben said. "But I have an idea. Let's remove some blocks from your tower and add them to my house. Then we can have a bigger house and a smaller tower." + +Anna thought for a moment. She liked her tower, but she also liked Ben's idea. She nodded and said, "OK, let's do that. But be careful. Don't make the tower fall down." + +They started to remove some blocks from the tower and put them on the house. They worked together and had fun. They made the house bigger and the tower smaller. They were happy with their new blocks. + +"Wow, look at our house!" Ben said. "It is very big and cozy. It has green and orange and purple blocks." + +"It is incredible!" Anna said. "But I have an idea. Let's remove some blocks from the house and add them to the bridge. Then we can have a longer bridge and a smaller house." + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked his house, but he also liked Anna's idea. He nodded and said, "OK, let's do that. But be careful. Don't make the house fall apart." + +They started to remove some blocks from the house and put them on the bridge. They worked together and had fun. They made the bridge longer and the house smaller. They were happy with their new blocks. + +"Wow, look at our bridge!" Anna said. "It is very long and sturdy. It has pink and brown and white blocks." + +"It is incredible!" Ben said. "But I have an idea. Let's remove some blocks from the bridge and add them to the tower. Then we can have a taller tower and a shorter bridge." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and laughed. They realized they had come back to where they started. They decided to keep their blocks as they were. They had made many incredible things with their blocks. They hugged and said, "We have the best ideas!" +Ben liked to count. He counted his toys, his fingers, his toes, and his books. He counted everything he saw. One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a pond. He wanted to count them all. + +He ran to the slide and climbed up. He counted one, two, three, four, five steps. He slid down and laughed. He ran to the swing and pushed it. He counted one, two, three, four, five swings. He jumped off and smiled. He ran to the sandbox and dug a hole. He counted one, two, three, four, five scoops. He filled the hole and clapped. He ran to the pond and looked at the water. He counted one, two, three, four, five ducks. He quacked and waved. + +Then he saw something in the water. It was big and long and green. It had scales and spikes and wings. It had a tail and a snout and teeth. It was a dragon! Ben was scared and curious. He wanted to count the dragon. + +He tiptoed to the edge of the pond and peeked. The dragon peeked back. Ben said hello. The dragon said hello. Ben asked the dragon his name. The dragon said his name was Zee. Ben asked Zee if he could count him. Zee said yes. + +Ben started to count. He counted one head, two eyes, three horns, four ears, five nostrils. He counted six legs, seven claws, eight scales, nine spikes, ten wings. He counted eleven ribs, twelve teeth, thirteen spots, fourteen whiskers, fifteen tail. He counted sixteen bubbles, seventeen fish, eighteen frogs, nineteen lilies, twenty water. He counted twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five. He stopped. He ran out of numbers. + +He looked at Zee and smiled. Zee looked at Ben and smiled. Ben said Zee was a big dragon. Zee said Ben was a smart boy. Ben said he liked Zee. Zee said he liked Ben. Ben asked Zee if he wanted to play. Zee said yes. They played together in the pond. They splashed and swam and flew and roared. They had fun. + +Ben's mom came to the pond and saw Ben and Zee. She was surprised and happy. She said hello to Zee. Zee said hello to her. She asked Ben if he made a new friend. Ben said yes. He said Zee was a white dragon. She asked him why he said that. He said because Zee was white in his heart. She hugged him and said he was right. She said Zee was a good dragon. She said she was proud of him. She said it was time to go home. Ben said goodbye to Zee. Zee said goodbye to Ben. They promised to see each other again. They waved and smiled. Ben and Zee were happy. They were friends. The end. +Anna was a little girl who liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many dolls, cars, books and puzzles that she could choose from. But sometimes she got bored of her toys and wanted to see what was in the big closet at the end of the room. She knew her mom and dad told her not to open the closet, but she was very curious. + +One day, when her mom and dad were busy in the kitchen, Anna decided to sneak into her room and try to open the closet. She pushed a chair to the closet and climbed on it. She reached for the handle and pulled it. The closet door opened and Anna saw a lot of dark and dusty things inside. She saw old clothes, boxes, bags and a big trunk. She wondered what was in the trunk and wanted to open it too. + +She reached for the trunk and lifted the lid. But as soon as she did, she heard a loud roar and saw a big furry monster jump out of the trunk. The monster had sharp teeth, long claws and red eyes. It looked very angry and hungry. It growled at Anna and grabbed her with its paws. Anna screamed and tried to get away, but the monster was too strong and fast. It dragged her into the trunk and closed the lid. + +Anna's mom and dad heard her scream and ran to her room. They saw the closet door open and the chair next to it. They looked inside the closet and saw the trunk. They heard a muffled cry and a thump from inside the trunk. They realized what had happened and felt very scared and sad. They tried to open the trunk, but it was locked and they could not find the key. They called for help, but it was too late.

I need your help." + +Tim and Sam are surprised. They let go of the soldier. They look at him with big eyes. + +"A real soldier?" Tim says. + +"How can you talk?" Sam says. + +The soldier tells them his story. He says he was a guard for a king. But the king was bad and mean. He made the soldier do bad things. The soldier did not want to do bad things. He wanted to be good and kind. He ran away from the king. He found a magic box. The box took him to this place. + +"I do not know where I am. I do not know anyone here. I am alone and lost.

Sara did not like the man. She wanted to make her mom happy. + +Sara had an idea. She took a red pen and drew a big heart on a paper. She wrote "I love you mom" in the heart.

I will be very careful and return her to you soon." Sara trusts Tom. He is a reliable friend. She says, "Okay, you can play with Lily. But please don't lose her or make her dirty. She is very special to me." + +Tom takes Lily and runs to the slide. He puts Lily on the slide and pushes her down. Lily slides very fast and lands on the grass. Tom laughs and runs to get her. But when he reaches the grass, he cannot find Lily. He looks around and sees a big dog. The dog has Lily in its mouth. It is chewing on her and making her dirty. Tom is very scared and sad.

She cries, "Tom, what did you do? You lost my doll! You made her dirty! You are not a reliable friend! You are a bad friend!" + +Tom feels very sorry and guilty. He tries to get Lily from the dog, but the dog growls and runs away. Tom chases the dog, but he is too slow. He cannot catch the dog. He returns to Sara and says, "Sara, I am so sorry. I did not mean to lose your doll. I did not know the dog would take her. I wanted to play with her and return her to you. Please forgive me. Please don't be angry with me." + +Sara is still crying and angry. She does not want to forgive Tom. She says, "No, I will not forgive you. You are not my friend anymore. You are a bad boy. Go away from me. Leave me alone." + +Tom is very sad and lonely. He does not know what to do. He worries that Sara will never be his friend again.

She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the floor. She bounced with her ball, with her teddy, with her pillow. She bounced all day long, and sometimes at night too. + +One day, she saw a big shelf in the living room. It had many things on it. Books, pictures, vases, candles. Lily wanted to bounce on the shelf. She thought it would be fun. She did not know that the shelf was not strong, and that the things on it were not toys. + +She climbed on a chair and jumped on the shelf. The shelf made a loud noise and broke. The things on the shelf fell down and broke too. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the mess and Lily. They were very angry and sad. They told Lily that she was ignorant. She did not understand what that word meant, but she felt bad. She said she was sorry. + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and cleaned her knee. They told her that they loved her, but that she had to be careful. They said that the shelf and the things on it were not for bouncing. They were for looking and reading and smelling. They said that bouncing was for the bed, the sofa, the floor, the ball, the teddy, the pillow. Lily nodded and said she understood. She said she would not bounce on the shelf again. She said she would bounce on the bed instead. Mom and Dad smiled and kissed her. They said that was a good idea. Lily smiled and bounced on the bed. She was happy. +Lily was a young girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, a hairy doll with long brown hair and a pink dress. Lily took Anna everywhere she went, and always hugged her at night. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides, and wanted to join them. She asked her mom if she could leave Anna on the bench while she played. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful and not lose her doll. + +Lily ran to the swings and had fun with the other kids. She forgot about Anna for a while, until she heard a loud cry. She turned around and saw a boy holding Anna and pulling her hair. He was bigger and older than Lily, and he had a mean look on his face. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily shouted, and ran to the boy. "Give her back, she belongs to me!" + +The boy laughed and said, "No, she belongs to me now. She's a stupid doll, and you're a stupid girl. I'm going to rip her hair off and throw her in the trash." + +Lily felt scared and angry. She tried to grab Anna from the boy, but he pushed her away. She fell on the ground and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +"Stop it, you bully!" a voice said. Lily looked up and saw another girl standing next to her. She was about the same age as Lily, and she had short blond hair and a blue dress. She looked kind and brave. + +The girl walked up to the boy and said, "You're being very mean and rude. You can't take someone else's doll and hurt it. That's not nice, and that's not fair. You should say sorry and give it back." + +The boy snorted and said, "Why should I? She's just a doll, and I can do whatever I want with her." + +The girl shook her head and said, "No, you can't. She's not just a doll, she's Lily's friend. And friends are important and precious. You should respect them and treat them well. How would you feel if someone took your friend and hurt them?" + +The boy looked confused and guilty. He thought about his friend Tom, who had a cool bike and a funny joke book. He liked to play with Tom, and he would be very sad and angry if someone took him and hurt him. + +He realized he was wrong, and he felt sorry. He gave Anna back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, I was being bad. Here's your doll, I won't touch her again." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, I forgive you. And thank you, too, to the girl who helped me. What's your name?" + +The girl smiled and said, "I'm Emma, and I'm happy to help. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. You're very nice and brave. Do you want to play with me and Anna?" + +Emma nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I like dolls, too. And I like you and Anna. You're both very pretty and sweet." + +Lily and Emma hugged and became friends. They played with Anna and had fun. Lily's mom came and saw them and was glad. She said, "Lily, you made a new friend. That's wonderful. And you were very brave and smart to stand up for your doll. I'm proud of you." + +Lily and Emma said goodbye and promised to see each other again. Lily learned that friends are important and precious, and that she should respect them and treat them well. She also learned that being kind and brave can make new friends. She was happy and grateful. She hugged Anna and said, "You belong to me, and I belong to you. And we both belong to Emma, too. We're a happy family." +Lily liked to write. She had a big book with many pages. She wrote her name, and her mom's name, and her dad's name. She wrote about her toys, and her friends, and her dog. She wrote with crayons, and pencils, and markers. She wrote every day. + +One day, Lily saw a picture of a reindeer in her book. She liked the reindeer. It had big horns, and a red nose, and a fluffy tail. She wanted to write about the reindeer. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is a reindeer?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "A reindeer is a kind of animal. It lives in a cold place, where there is a lot of snow. It helps Santa Claus to bring gifts to children on Christmas Eve." + +Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, a reindeer is very cool. Can I write a letter to Santa Claus and ask him to bring me a reindeer?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, you can write a letter to Santa Claus. But you have to be very good, and very polite, and very patient. Santa Claus is very busy, and he has many children to visit. He may not be able to bring you a reindeer, but he will bring you something nice." + +Lily nodded. She took a piece of paper and a red crayon. She wrote, "Dear Santa Claus, I am Lily. I am three years old. I am very good. I like reindeer. They are gentle and cute. Can you please bring me a reindeer for Christmas? Thank you very much. Love, Lily." + +She showed her letter to her mom. Her mom said, "That is a very nice letter, Lily. You wrote very well. Now we have to put it in an envelope, and put a stamp on it, and mail it to Santa Claus." + +Lily did as her mom said. She hoped that Santa Claus would read her letter, and bring her a reindeer. She dreamed of playing with the reindeer, and feeding it carrots, and riding on its back. She was very happy. +Anna loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to read about animals, princesses, and adventures. Sometimes, she read to her teddy bear, who was her best friend. He was very dependable. He always listened to her and hugged her. + +One day, Anna found a new book in the library. It was about a magic forest. She borrowed it and took it home. She was very excited to read it. She opened the book and started to read. + +"Welcome to the magic forest," a voice said. Anna looked up and saw a fairy. She had wings, a dress, and a wand. She smiled at Anna. "I am Faye, the fairy. Do you want to come with me?" + +Anna was surprised and curious. She nodded. "Yes, please. Where are we going?" + +Faye took her hand and flew out of the book. "We are going to have fun. We can see the animals, the flowers, and the trees. We can play games and make wishes. Come on, let's go." + +Anna followed Faye. She felt happy and free. She forgot about her room, her teddy bear, and her mom. She only wanted to read and escape to the magic forest. She did not know that Faye had a secret plan. She wanted to keep Anna in the forest forever. She was not a good fairy. She was a bad fairy. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and birds. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have to go to the store. You can paint later." Lily did not want to go to the store. She thought the store was boring. She wanted to paint more. + +But she had to go with her mom. They got in the car and drove to the store. Lily looked out the window and saw nothing fun. She saw cars and houses and signs. She wished she had her paints with her. + +At the store, her mom got a cart and put Lily in it. They went to the food aisle. Her mom picked up cans and boxes and put them in the cart. Lily saw a can with a picture of a fish. She knew it was tuna. She liked tuna. She said, "Mom, can we get tuna?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. We can get tuna. Do you want to have tuna for lunch?" Lily nodded. She thought tuna was yummy. She said, "Can I paint tuna?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "No, Lily. You can't paint tuna. You can eat tuna. But you can paint something else when we get home. What do you want to paint?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I want to paint a tuna. A big, blue tuna. With a smile." + +Her mom said, "Okay, Lily. You can paint a tuna when we get home. But first, we have to finish shopping. Can you help me find some bread and cheese and apples?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Mom. I can help you. But then, I want to paint a tuna." + +Her mom said, "Deal." They hugged and continued shopping. Lily still thought the store was boring. But she was happy that she could paint a tuna later. She imagined how her tuna would look. She hoped it would be the best tuna ever. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Lily found a big pot and set it on the stove. Tom found some shoes and put them in the pot. + +"Shoes are not food, Tom!" Lily said. "They are for feet!" + +"But they are spicy shoes!" Tom said. "They have red peppers on them. See?" + +He showed Lily the shoes. They had red stickers that looked like peppers. Lily laughed. + +"OK, Tom. We can cook the spicy shoes. But we need more things. What else can we put in the pot?" + +Lily looked around the kitchen. She saw some bananas, some cheese, some bread, and some milk. She grabbed them and threw them in the pot with the shoes. + +"Now we have a yummy soup!" she said. + +Tom nodded. He stirred the pot with a big spoon. He smelled the soup. It smelled funny. + +"Can we taste it?" he asked. + +Lily shrugged. She took two bowls and filled them with the soup. She gave one to Tom and one to herself. They blew on the soup to cool it down. Then they took a sip. + +"Yuck!" they both said. The soup was gross. It was sour and bitter and spicy and salty. They spit out the soup and made faces. + +"This is the worst soup ever!" Lily said. + +Tom agreed. He looked at the shoes in the pot. They were soggy and stained. + +"Maybe shoes are not good for cooking," he said. + +Lily nodded. She threw the soup in the trash. She took the shoes and washed them in the sink. She dried them with a towel. + +"Let's give the shoes back to Mommy," she said. + +Tom agreed. They took the shoes and ran to the living room. They found Mommy reading a book on the couch. + +"Mommy, we made you a surprise!" Lily said. + +She gave Mommy the shoes. Mommy looked at the shoes. She saw the red stickers and the wet spots. + +"What did you do to my shoes?" she asked. + +Lily and Tom smiled. + +"We cooked them!" they said. "They are spicy shoes!" + +Mommy was confused. She did not know what to say. She hugged Lily and Tom. + +"Thank you for the surprise," she said. "But next time, please don't cook my shoes. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said sorry to Mommy. They learned their lesson. Shoes are not food. They are for feet. And they are not spicy. +Anna loves to ride her bike. She has a pink bike with a bell and a basket. She likes to pedal fast and feel the wind on her face. She excites when she sees a hill or a curve. She likes to ring her bell and say hello to people and animals. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big slide and a swing. She wants to play on them. She parks her bike near a bench and runs to the slide. She slides down and laughs. She goes to the swing and pushes herself high. She feels like she is flying. + +But when she comes back to the bench, her bike is gone. She looks around and sees a boy riding her bike. He has a mean face and a dirty shirt. He pedals away from her and does not stop. Anna cries and runs to her mom. She tells her what happened. She is very sad and angry. + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. That was not nice of him. He should not take your bike. Maybe he does not have a bike of his own. Maybe he is lonely and unhappy. But that does not make it right. We will try to find your bike. Don't worry." + +They walk around the park and look for the boy and the bike. They ask some people if they have seen them. They do not give up. After a while, they see the boy and the bike near a fountain. He is sitting on the ground and crying. He has a cut on his knee and a flat tire. He looks scared and sorry. + +Anna's mom goes to him and says, "Hello, what is your name?" He says, "Tommy." She says, "Tommy, why did you take Anna's bike? That was not nice. That was wrong. You hurt her feelings and you hurt yourself. You should say sorry to her and give her bike back." + +Tommy looks at Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted to ride a bike. I don't have a bike. I don't have any toys. I don't have any friends. I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me." + +Anna feels sorry for Tommy. She remembers how she loves her bike and how she excites when she rides it. She thinks how sad it must be to have nothing to play with and no one to play with. She says, "It's okay, Tommy. I forgive you. But you should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. Maybe we can be friends. Maybe we can share my bike. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tommy smiles and says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Anna. You are very nice. You are very grateful. Can I help you fix your tire?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Tommy. You are very nice, too. You are very brave. Come on, let's go to the bike shop. Maybe they can fix it. Then we can ride together. Come on, mom. Let's go." + +Anna's mom smiles and says, "Okay, let's go. I'm proud of you, Anna. You are very kind and generous. You are very wise and forgiving. You made a new friend today. You made a happy ending to your story." +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a swamp near their house. It was wet and muddy and full of plants and animals. They saw frogs, snakes, turtles, and birds. They wanted to bring some of them home to show their mom and dad. + +"Look, Ben, a frog!" Jill said. She tried to catch it, but it jumped away. "It's so fast and green!" + +"Look, Jill, a snake!" Ben said. He reached for it, but it hissed and slithered away. "It's so long and shiny!" + +They kept looking for something to bring home, but everything was too quick or too scary. They were getting tired and dirty. + +"Let's go home, Jill," Ben said. "We can come back another day." + +"Wait, Ben, look at that!" Jill said. She pointed to a big, round, brown thing in the water. "What is it?" + +"I don't know, Jill. It looks like a rock, but it has eyes and a nose. Maybe it's a turtle?" + +"Let's bring it home, Ben. It's so unique and cool!" + +They walked closer to the thing, but it was not a turtle. It was an alligator. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It made a loud roar. + +"Run, Jill, run!" Ben shouted. They turned around and ran away from the swamp. The alligator chased them, but it was slow on land. They reached their house and slammed the door. + +"Mom, Dad, we found a swamp!" Jill and Ben said. They were out of breath and covered in mud. + +"A swamp? What did you see there?" Mom asked. + +"We saw frogs, snakes, turtles, and birds. And an alligator!" Jill and Ben said. + +"An alligator? Are you kidding?" Dad asked. + +"No, Dad, it was real. It tried to eat us!" Jill and Ben said. + +"Wow, that sounds scary. I'm glad you're safe. But you can't bring anything from the swamp home. It's dangerous and dirty. You have to leave the animals alone. They belong there, not here," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom, we understand. But can we go back to the swamp tomorrow? It's so fun and interesting!" Jill and Ben said. + +"Maybe, but only if you stay away from the alligator. And wear boots and hats. And take a whistle and a stick. And listen to us. And be careful. And don't bring anything home. Do you promise?" Mom and Dad said. + +"Yes, we promise. Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love you. And we love the swamp!" Jill and Ben said. They hugged their parents and went to wash up. They dreamed of the swamp and the unique things they saw there. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is fierce. It barks and runs at them. + +"Help!" Mia cries. She is scared of the dog. + +Ben is brave. He picks up a stick. He waves it at the dog. He says, "Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" + +The dog stops. It looks at Ben. It sees the stick. It is afraid of the stick. It turns and runs away. + +Mia hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben! You are my hero! You support me!" + +Ben smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Mia! You are my friend! We support each other!" + +They go to the bakery. They buy two muffins. They share them. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found rocks, shells, or bugs. Sometimes they found junk, like old cans, bottles, or wires. + +"Look what I found!" Ben said, holding up a shiny ring. "It is fancy and pretty. Maybe it is magic." + +Lily looked at the ring. She did not think it was magic. She thought it was junk. She had seen a ring like that before. It was from a candy box. She had one too, but she threw it away. + +"That is not magic, Ben. That is junk. I had one too, but I did not like it. It is not real. It is fake," Lily said. + +Ben did not believe Lily. He liked the ring. He put it on his finger. He felt fancy and happy. He did not care if it was fake. He pretended it was magic. + +"Fine, Lily. You can have your junk. I have my magic ring. I will not mention it to you again. I will find more magic things," Ben said. + +He walked away from Lily. He dug in another spot. He hoped to find more fancy and pretty things. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He thought she was mean and boring. + +Lily felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben's feelings. She just wanted to tell him the truth. She liked to play with Ben. She did not like to fight with him. + +"Ben, wait. I am sorry. I did not want to make you mad. I just wanted to help you. Can we still be friends?" Lily said. + +She ran after Ben. She hoped he would forgive her. She hoped they could play together again. She hoped they could find more things, magic or not. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rabbit in the grass. The rabbit has long ears and a soft fur. It hops from one place to another. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Anna says. "Can we play with it?" + +Ben nods. He likes animals. He and Anna walk slowly to the rabbit. They do not want to scare it. They make soft sounds with their mouths. They want to be friendly. + +The rabbit hears them. It stops hopping. It looks at them with its big eyes. It does not run away. It seems curious. + +"Hello, rabbit," Ben says. "We are Anna and Ben. We want to be your friends. Can we pet you?" + +The rabbit does not answer. It does not understand their words. But it does not mind their soft sounds. It lets them come closer. It sniffs their hands. It feels their gentle touch. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They pet the rabbit. They stroke its ears and its fur. They say nice things to it. The rabbit likes them. It makes a soft sound too. It sounds like a purr. + +They play together for a while. They hop with the rabbit. They laugh and have fun. They are friends. +Sara liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put red on her lips, blue on her eyes, and pink on her cheeks. She thought she looked very pretty. + +One day, Sara saw her dad's bald head. She had an idea. She took some of her mom's makeup and went to her dad. He was working on his laptop. + +"Daddy, can I play with you?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, what do you want to play?" her dad answered. + +Sara smiled and climbed on his lap. She opened the makeup and started to draw on his head. She drew a big flower, a star, and a heart. She used many colors. + +"There, now you look pretty too!" Sara said. + +Her dad looked at himself in the mirror. He saw the makeup on his head. He was surprised and laughed. + +"Wow, Sara, you are very creative. But this is mommy's makeup, not mine. We should wash it off before she sees it." he said. + +"Okay, daddy. But I like your flower. It makes you happy." Sara said. + +Her dad hugged her and kissed her. He was happy too. He loved his little girl. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play together. They also like to eat bananas. Bananas are yellow and sweet. + +One day, Sam and Mia go to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But there is a problem. There is only one banana left. They both want the banana. + +"Let me have the banana," Sam says. "I am hungry." + +"No, let me have the banana," Mia says. "I saw it first." + +They start to argue. They do not share. They are not happy. + +Then they see a boy. The boy is nice. He has a basket. The basket has many bananas. The boy smiles. + +"Hello, I am Ben," the boy says. "Do you want some bananas? I have many. You can have some." + +Sam and Mia are surprised. They stop arguing. They look at the boy. + +"Really?" Sam says. "You will let us have some bananas?" + +"Yes, of course," Ben says. "I like to share. Sharing is good. Bananas are good." + +Sam and Mia smile. They say thank you. They take some bananas from the basket. They eat the bananas. They are delicious. + +"Ben, you are very nice," Mia says. "You are reliable. You keep your word." + +"Thank you, Mia," Ben says. "You are very nice, too. So is Sam. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sam and Mia nod. They want to play with Ben. They go to the slide. They take turns. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go very high and laugh. + +One day, they see a new hut in the park. It is big and brown. It has a door and a window. They want to see inside. + +They run to the hut and knock on the door. No one answers. They try to open the door. It is locked. They look at the window. It is dark. + +"Maybe no one lives here," Lily says. + +"Maybe we can find a way in," Ben says. + +They walk around the hut. They see a hole in the wall. It is big enough for them to crawl through. + +"Look, a hole!" Ben says. "Let's go in!" + +Lily is scared. She does not want to go in. She thinks someone might be inside. + +"Ben, wait!" she says. "It is not our hut. We should not go in." + +But Ben does not hear her. He is deaf. He does not hear anything. He only sees and feels. He crawls through the hole. + +Lily follows him. She does not want to leave him alone. She crawls through the hole too. + +They are inside the hut. It is dark and dusty. They see a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp. They see a man sleeping on the bed. He is old and gray. He has a beard and a hat. He does not hear them. He is deaf too. + +They are quiet. They look around. They see a book on the table. It has pictures and words. They want to see the book. + +They walk to the table. They reach for the book. They touch the lamp. The lamp falls. It makes a loud noise. + +The man wakes up. He sees them. He is angry. He shouts at them. He does not use words. He uses his hands. He tells them to go away. + +They are scared. They run to the hole. They crawl out. They run to the swings. They swing on the swings. They are safe. + +They are sorry. They did not mean to make the man angry. They did not know he lived there. They did not know he was deaf too. + +They decide to leave him alone. They decide to play somewhere else. They are still friends. They still like to swing on the swings. They go very high and laugh. +Lily and Tom are brother and sister. They love to play with their toys and books. They have a beautiful family. Mom and dad are kind and funny. They work hard to buy food and clothes for Lily and Tom. + +One day, mom and dad say they have a surprise for Lily and Tom. They take them to a big park with many animals. Lily and Tom are very happy. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and birds. They feed the goats and pet the rabbits. They learn many things about the animals. + +At the end of the day, they go to a shop near the park. Mom and dad say they can choose one toy each. Lily and Tom look at the toys. There are cars, dolls, puzzles, and balls. Lily picks a pink doll with a dress and a hat. Tom picks a blue car with lights and sounds. + +Mom and dad take the toys to the counter. The lady at the counter says the price. Mom and dad give her some money. They pay for the toys. The lady gives them a receipt and a smile. She says, "Thank you for coming. Enjoy your toys." + +Lily and Tom hug mom and dad. They say, "Thank you for the surprise. We love you. We love our beautiful family." Mom and dad hug them back. They say, "We love you too. You are our best gifts." They all go home happy and tired. They play with their new toys before bedtime. They dream of the animals and the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pole that was very old and had many holes. Lily wanted to poke the holes with a stick. Ben said, "No, don't do that. The pole is ancient. It might break or fall." + +But Lily did not listen. She said, "I want to poke the holes. It is fun. You are scared." She ran to the pole and poked a hole with her stick. She heard a loud crack. The pole was rotten and weak. It broke in half and fell on Lily. + +Ben screamed and ran to Lily. He tried to lift the pole, but it was too heavy. He cried and called for help. But no one was near. Lily was hurt and did not move. Ben was very sad and sorry. He wished he had stopped Lily from poking the pole. He wished he had played with something else. He wished he had listened to his friend. +Lily and Tom like to play with blocks. They make houses and cars and castles. One day, they want to make a temple. A temple is a big house for God. They use many blocks to make a temple. It is tall and pretty. + +But then, Max comes. Max is a bad boy. He likes to break things. He sees the temple and he laughs. He kicks the blocks and the temple falls down. Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They cry and shout at Max. + +Max runs away, but he does not get far. Mom sees what he did. She is very mad. She grabs Max and takes him to his room. She says he has to stay there and say sorry. Max is scared and sorry. He does not like to be bad. + +Lily and Tom stop crying. They hug each other. They pick up the blocks and make the temple again. It is taller and prettier than before. They are happy and proud. They say thank you to God for the blocks and for each other. They play with the temple until it is time for dinner. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play games in the park. One day, they played a game of tag. Lily was it and she had to catch Ben. + +"Run, run, Ben!" Lily shouted. "I will get you!" + +Ben ran fast, but he was clumsy. He tripped over a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. + +Lily ran to him and helped him up. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Ben looked at his knee and felt scared. He did not like blood. He wanted his mom. + +"No, I'm not okay. It hurts. I want to go home," he said. + +Lily hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Ben. I will take you home. I know where you live. You can trust me. I'm your friend." + +Ben nodded and held Lily's hand. They walked to his house. Lily knocked on the door and Ben's mom opened it. + +"Hello, Lily. What happened?" she asked. + +"Ben fell down and hurt his knee. We were playing tag," Lily said. + +"Oh, poor Ben. Come in, let me clean your wound," Ben's mom said. + +She took Ben inside and put a band-aid on his knee. She gave him a cookie and a glass of milk. She thanked Lily for being a good friend. + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome. Can we play again tomorrow?" + +Ben smiled back and said, "Yes, we can. But next time, let's play a different game. Tag is too hard for me." + +Lily agreed and said goodbye. She went back to the park and played with her doll. She was happy that Ben was okay. She liked him. He was her friend. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big house with many windows and a tall gate. They wanted to see what was inside, so they climbed over the gate and ran to the house. + +"Wow, this house is very rich!" Sam said, looking at the shiny things and soft beds. "Let's take some of them and go home!" + +"No, Sam, that is bad!" Tom said, feeling scared. "This is not our house, and someone might see us!" + +But Sam did not listen to Tom. He grabbed a shiny lamp and a soft pillow and ran to the door. Tom followed him, but he saw a big dog barking at them. The dog was angry and chased them to the gate. + +"Help, help!" Sam and Tom cried, trying to climb over the gate. But the gate was too high and the dog was too fast. The dog bit Sam's leg and made him drop the lamp. The lamp broke and made a fire. The fire burned the gate and the house. + +Sam and Tom were trapped by the fire and the dog. They screamed and cried, but no one came to help them. The fire made a lot of smoke and mist. The smoke and mist made them cough and choke. They could not breathe and they could not see. + +They wished they had not gone to the rich house. They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had stayed in the woods. But it was too late. The fire and the dog were too strong. Sam and Tom were gone. +Ben was a boy who liked to run and play. He liked to feel the wind in his hair and the sun on his skin. He liked to see the birds and the flowers and the trees. He liked to hear the sounds of the animals and the water and the leaves. + +One day, Ben saw a white horse in a field. The horse was big and strong and wild. Ben wanted to touch the horse and ride on its back. He thought the horse would be his friend. He ran to the fence and climbed over it. He called to the horse and tried to get closer. + +But the horse did not like Ben. The horse did not know Ben and did not trust him. The horse was scared and angry. The horse kicked and bit and ran away. Ben was hurt and sad. He cried and ran back to the fence. He wished he had not bothered the horse. + +Ben's mom saw him and came to help him. She hugged him and cleaned his wounds. She told him that the horse was not a toy or a pet. She told him that the horse was a wild animal that needed space and respect. She told him that he should never go near a wild animal without permission and guidance. She told him that he should be careful and kind to all living things. + +Ben learned his lesson. He said he was sorry and he thanked his mom. He decided to leave the horse alone and admire it from a distance. He realized that the horse was beautiful and free and happy in its own way. He felt sorry for the horse and happy for himself. He understood that he could not make friends with everyone, but he could still love them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs. They saw a big purple radish in the dirt. Ben wanted to eat it. + +"Look, Lily, a purple radish! Can I bite it?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, that is not our radish. That is Mr. Fox's radish. He is very mean and he will be angry if you take his radish," Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He pulled the radish out of the dirt and took a big bite. It was crunchy and spicy. He liked it. + +"Yum, yum, this is a good radish. You should try it, Lily," Ben said. + +But Lily did not want to try it. She was scared of Mr. Fox. She heard a loud growl behind them. She turned around and saw Mr. Fox. He was very mean and he was angry. He saw Ben with his radish. + +"Hey, you little thief! That is my radish! Give it back to me or I will bite you!" Mr. Fox said. + +Ben was scared of Mr. Fox. He dropped the radish and ran away. But he was not fast enough. Mr. Fox chased him and caught him. He bit him hard on the leg. Ben cried and cried. It hurt a lot. + +Lily ran to Ben and tried to help him. She was sorry for Ben. She wished he had listened to her. She wished he had not taken Mr. Fox's radish. She wished they had not played in the garden. It was a bad day. +Sara loved to visit her aunt Lily. Aunt Lily had a big house with many rooms and toys. Sara liked to play dress-up with aunt Lily's clothes and hats. She felt like a princess in the beautiful dresses. + +One day, Sara found a pink dress with flowers and sparkles in aunt Lily's closet. She wanted to try it on, but it was too big for her. She asked aunt Lily for help. + +"Aunt Lily, can you make this dress fit me?" Sara said. + +Aunt Lily smiled and hugged Sara. "This dress is very beautiful, but it is too big for you, my dear. It was my dress when I was a grown-up girl. But I have an idea. Why don't we make a new dress for you with this fabric?" She pointed to a basket of colorful fabrics and ribbons. + +Sara clapped her hands. "Yes, please! I want a new dress!" + +Aunt Lily took Sara to her sewing room. She measured Sara and cut a piece of pink fabric. She sewed it with a needle and thread. She added some flowers and sparkles from the old dress. She made a ribbon belt and a bow for Sara's hair. + +"There you go, Sara. A new dress just for you. Do you like it?" Aunt Lily said. + +Sara looked at herself in the mirror. She twirled and smiled. She felt like a princess in the new dress. + +"I love it, aunt Lily! Thank you! You are the best aunt ever!" Sara said. + +Aunt Lily kissed Sara's cheek. "You are very welcome, Sara. You are the most beautiful princess ever!" She said. +Lily likes Wednesday. On Wednesday, she goes to the park with Mom and Dad. They play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Lily has fun with Mom and Dad. + +But today, something is different. Lily sees a big truck on the road. The truck has many boxes on it. The boxes have words on them. Lily does not know the words, but Mom says they are fragile. Fragile means they can break easily. + +Lily wants to see the boxes. She runs to the truck. She does not look where she is going. She does not see the car. The car is fast. The car honks. Lily is scared. She stops. + +Mom and Dad see Lily. They rush to her. They are worried. They hug her. They say, "Lily, you are okay. You are safe. But you have to be careful. You have to look before you run. You have to stay with us. Do you understand?" + +Lily nods. She is sorry. She says, "I understand. I am sorry. I wanted to see the boxes. They are fragile. What are they?" + +Mom says, "They are books. Books are fragile. They can tear and bend. But they are also wonderful. They have stories and pictures. They can make you happy and smart. Do you like books?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "I like books. Can we read a book?" + +Mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go to the library. The library has many books. We can borrow a book and read it at home. But first, we have to cross the road. We have to hold hands. We have to look both ways. We have to be safe. Okay?" + +Lily says, "Okay. I will be safe. I will hold hands. I will look both ways. I will cross the road. I will go to the library. I will read a book. I like Wednesday." +Anna and Lily are playing with their dolls. They have a small table and some cups and a pot. They want to have a tea party. + +"Can I pour the tea?" Anna asks Lily. + +"OK, but be careful. The pot is heavy," Lily says. + +Anna lifts the pot with both hands. She tries to pour the tea into the cups. But the pot is too full. The tea spills out and makes a big mess. + +"Oh no! Look what you did!" Lily cries. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Anna says. She puts the pot down and gets a cloth. She wipes the table and the floor. + +Lily is still angry. She picks up her doll and hugs it tight. She does not want to play with Anna anymore. + +"Please don't be mad at me, Lily. It was an accident. I didn't mean to pour the tea like that," Anna says. + +She looks at Lily with sad eyes. She hopes Lily will forgive her. + +Lily sees Anna's face. She feels sorry for her. She knows Anna is her best friend. + +"It's OK, Anna. I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry I yelled at you," Lily says. + +She puts her doll down and gives Anna a hug. They smile at each other. + +"Let's play again. But this time, let's not pour the tea. Let's pretend the cups are full," Lily says. + +"OK, that sounds fun. I love you, Lily," Anna says. + +"I love you, Anna," Lily says. + +They sit down and have a pretend tea party. They are happy again. +Tim and Sue wanted to buy a balloon from the man at the park. They had one penny each that their mom gave them. They ran to the man and asked for a balloon. + +"Sorry, kids, one balloon costs two pennies," the man said. "You need to share or find another penny." + +Tim and Sue looked at each other. They did not want to share. They wanted their own balloon. They looked around the park for another penny. They saw a big dog with a shiny collar. Maybe there was a penny on the collar. + +They walked to the dog and tried to touch the collar. The dog did not like that. It barked and growled at them. Tim and Sue were frightened. They ran away from the dog. + +"Help, help!" they cried. Their mom heard them and came to them. She hugged them and asked what happened. + +"A big dog scared us!" Tim said. "We wanted to buy a balloon, but we only had one penny each." + +"Did you try to take something from the dog?" their mom asked. + +They nodded. They felt bad. + +"That was not nice," their mom said. "You should never take something that is not yours. And you should never bother animals that you don't know. They might bite you." + +She took out two pennies from her pocket and gave them to Tim and Sue. + +"Here, you can buy a balloon now. But remember, be kind and careful next time." + +Tim and Sue thanked their mom and apologized. They went to the man and bought a balloon each. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They did not want to be frightened again. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They have a big basket of apples. They want to share them with their friends. But some boys are mean. They take the apples and run away. + +Ben and Lily are sad. They chase the boys. They want their apples back. The boys are fast. They laugh at Ben and Lily. They throw the apples on the ground. They scatter them everywhere. + +Ben and Lily see the apples. They are dirty and bruised. They are cheap apples. They are not good to eat. Ben and Lily are angry. They pick up the apples. They throw them at the boys. They hit them on the head and the back. + +The boys are hurt. They cry and run away. They are sorry. They are not mean anymore. Ben and Lily are happy. They have their apples back. They clean them and share them with their friends. They are good apples. They are sweet and juicy. Ben and Lily are kind and generous. They have fun in the park. +Lily was a tough girl. She liked to climb trees, run fast and play with mud. She did not like to wear dresses, brush her hair or eat vegetables. She said they were yucky. + +One day, Lily and her mother went to the park. Lily saw a big slide and ran to it. She climbed up the ladder and slid down with a whoosh. She laughed and did it again and again. Her mother watched her and smiled. + +"Can I go on the swings, mother?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, my dear. But be careful, okay?" her mother said. + +Lily nodded and ran to the swings. She pushed herself hard and went higher and higher. She felt the wind in her face and the sun on her skin. She was happy. + +She looked at her mother and saw her gazing at the sky. Her mother had a sad look on her face. Lily wondered why. + +"Mother, what are you looking at?" Lily asked. + +Her mother turned to her and smiled. She hugged her and said, "I'm looking at the clouds, Lily. They remind me of your father. He used to love to watch the clouds with us. Do you remember him?" + +Lily nodded. She remembered her father. He was tall and strong and kind. He used to play with her, read her stories and sing her songs. He was a soldier and he went away to fight. He did not come back. + +Lily felt a tear in her eye. She missed her father. She hugged her mother and said, "I love you, mother. And I love father too. He was tough, like me." + +Her mother kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. And you're right. He was tough, like you. And brave, and smart, and good. He would be proud of you, my dear. Just like I am." + +They held each other and gazed at the clouds. They saw shapes and colors and stories. They felt close and warm and safe. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were eager to go to the forest with their dad. They liked to see the trees, the birds and the flowers. They put on their boots, their hats and their coats and got in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, soon," dad said. "Look, there is the forest!" + +Lily and Tom clapped their hands. They saw the green and brown forest. They saw the sun shining through the leaves. They saw a sign that said "Welcome to the forest park". + +Dad parked the car and helped them out. He gave them each a backpack with a snack and a drink. He told them to stay close to him and not to wander off. + +They walked along a path that led them deeper into the forest. They heard the sounds of the forest: the wind, the birds, the squirrels. They smelled the fresh air and the pine needles. They felt the soft grass and the crunchy leaves under their feet. + +They saw a big rock that looked like a bear. They saw a stream that sparkled like a necklace. They saw a bridge that crossed over the stream. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side. + +"Can we go, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful," dad said. "The bridge might be slippery." + +Lily and Tom ran to the bridge. They held hands and stepped on the wooden planks. They looked down and saw the water flowing under them. They looked up and saw the sky and the trees. + +They were almost at the end of the bridge when they heard a loud noise. It was a scream. It was a scary scream. It was a scream that made them stop and shiver. + +"Who is that?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't know," Tom whispered back. + +They looked around and saw a man. He was wearing a mask and a cape. He was holding a big knife. He was standing on the other side of the bridge. He was looking at them. He was smiling. He was the one who screamed. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you want to play a game?" +Tom and his dog Spot were best friends. They liked to play and run and cuddle. Spot was a loyal dog. He always listened to Tom and followed him everywhere. Tom loved Spot very much. + +One day, Tom and his mom went to the park. They brought Spot with them. Tom and Spot ran and played on the grass. They chased a ball and a stick. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom saw a big slide. He wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He looked down and saw Spot waiting for him. He waved to Spot and said, "Wait for me, Spot. I'll be right back." + +Tom slid down the slide. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted, "Whee!" He landed on the ground and looked for Spot. But Spot was not there. + +Tom felt scared and sad. He called, "Spot! Spot! Where are you?" He looked around and saw Spot running to him. Spot had followed Tom up the ladder and slid down the slide too. He was wagging his tail and licking Tom's face. + +Tom hugged Spot and said, "Spot, you are so brave and loyal. You followed me on the slide. You didn't understand what it was, but you wanted to be with me. I'm sorry I left you. You are my best friend." + +Spot barked and wagged his tail. He understood that Tom loved him. He was happy to be with Tom. They went back to Tom's mom and told her what happened. She smiled and said, "You two are very lucky to have each other. You are a good team." + +Tom and Spot nodded and smiled. They were a good team. They were best friends. +Anna and Ben are going to the mall with Mom. They are very happy. They put on their coats and shoes. They are ready to go. + +"Can we see Santa?" Ben asks Mom. + +"Maybe, if he is not too busy," Mom says. + +They get in the car and drive to the mall. The mall is big and bright. There are many people and shops. Anna and Ben see a big tree with lights and ornaments. They also see a line of children waiting to talk to Santa. + +"Look, there he is!" Anna says, pointing to Santa. He is wearing a red suit and a white beard. He is sitting on a big chair and smiling. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Ben says, pulling Mom's hand. + +"Okay, but we have to wait our turn," Mom says. + +They join the line and wait patiently. Anna and Ben look at Santa and wonder what they will say to him. They whisper to each other. + +"I want a doll," Anna whispers. + +"I want a truck," Ben whispers. + +They nod and smile. They are excited. + +Soon, it is their turn. They walk up to Santa and sit on his lap. He looks at them kindly. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben. What do you want for Christmas?" he asks. + +Anna and Ben tell him their wishes. He listens and nods. + +"Those are very nice gifts. I will see what I can do. But you have to be good and listen to your Mom, okay?" he says. + +"Okay, Santa. Thank you," Anna and Ben say. + +They hug him and get off his lap. They wave goodbye and join Mom. She takes a picture of them with Santa. + +"Did you have fun?" she asks. + +"Yes, Mom. We love Santa," Anna and Ben say. + +They are very happy. They go to the mall and have a fun day. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make knots with it. She thought knots were fun. + +One day, Lily's grandma came to visit. Grandma was elderly. She had white hair and glasses. She smiled a lot and gave Lily a hug. Lily wanted to show Grandma her dolls. She ran to her room and brought Anna. + +"Look, Grandma, this is Anna. She is my best doll. Do you like her hair?" Lily asked. + +Grandma looked at Anna's hair. She saw many knots. She did not think knots were fun. She thought knots were messy. + +"Oh, Lily, your doll has so many knots. That is not good for her hair. Let me help you untie them," Grandma said. + +Lily did not want Grandma to untie her knots. She liked them. She was afraid Grandma would ruin her doll. She pulled Anna away from Grandma. + +"No, Grandma, no! I like the knots. They are pretty. Please don't touch them!" Lily cried. + +Grandma was surprised. She did not want to make Lily sad. She wanted to make her happy. She thought of an idea. + +"Okay, Lily, I won't touch your knots. But can I show you something? I have a magic wand. It can make things shrink. Do you want to see?" Grandma asked. + +Lily was curious. She liked magic. She nodded. + +"Yes, Grandma, yes! Show me the magic wand!" Lily said. + +Grandma took out a small stick from her purse. She waved it over Anna's hair. She said some funny words. Lily watched. + +"Abra-cadabra, ala-kazam, make these knots shrink as small as a ham!" + +Lily gasped. She saw Anna's hair change. The knots became smaller and smaller. They looked like tiny beads. They sparkled in the light. They were still there, but they were not messy. They were cute. + +"Wow, Grandma, wow! You made the knots shrink! They are so pretty! Thank you, Grandma, thank you!" Lily said. + +Grandma smiled. She was happy. She hugged Lily and Anna. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I think they are pretty, too. You have a very special doll. And you are a very special girl," Grandma said. +Sam and Mia like to play with sticks. They pretend they are spears and they hunt for animals in the yard. One day, they see a big bird on the fence. Sam says, "Let's catch it with our spears!" Mia says, "OK, but be careful. It might fly away or peck us." + +They sneak up to the bird, holding their spears. Sam throws his spear first, but he misses. The bird flaps its wings and makes a loud noise. Mia gets scared and drops her spear. The bird flies away and lands on a tree. + +Sam is angry. He says, "You ruined our hunt! You are a bad hunter! You should not play with spears!" Mia feels sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was just worried. The bird was big and loud. You are a good hunter, but you are not fair." + +Sam and Mia start to cry. They do not want to play with each other anymore. They sit on the ground and look away. + +Mom hears them crying. She comes out and asks, "What's wrong, Sam and Mia? Why are you not playing?" Sam and Mia tell her what happened. Mom says, "I see. You both wanted to catch the bird, but it was too hard. You both got scared and angry. That's OK. It happens sometimes. But you should not be mean to each other. You are brother and sister. You should be kind and share. Playing with spears is fun, but it can also be dangerous. You should be careful and respectful of the animals. They have feelings too." + +Sam and Mia listen to Mom. They feel sorry for what they said. They say, "You are right, Mom. We are sorry. We love each other. We love the bird too. We do not want to hurt it. We want to play with spears, but we will be careful and respectful. Can we hug and make up?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course you can. That's very fair and brave of you. I'm proud of you, Sam and Mia. Now, why don't you go and find another game to play? Maybe you can make a nest for the bird, or a fort for yourselves. Or you can draw a picture of the bird with your crayons. There are many ways to have fun with sticks and spears." + +Sam and Mia hug and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We will find another game to play. We will have fun with sticks and spears." They pick up their spears and run to the yard. They are happy again. They do not worry anymore. +Sara was very happy. She had a new shoe. It was red and shiny. She liked it a lot. She wanted to show it to her friend Lily. + +She ran to Lily's house. She knocked on the door. Lily's mom opened it. + +"Hi, Sara. Do you want to play with Lily?" she asked. + +"Yes, please. I have something to show her," Sara said. + +She went inside. She saw Lily in the living room. Lily was playing with her doll. + +"Hi, Lily. Look at my new shoe. Isn't it pretty?" Sara said. + +She lifted her foot. She showed her new shoe to Lily. + +Lily looked at Sara's shoe. She smiled. + +"Wow, Sara. Your new shoe is very pretty. I like the color. It is red like a cherry," Lily said. + +She touched Sara's shoe. She felt the shiny surface. + +"Can I try it on?" Lily asked. + +Sara nodded. She took off her new shoe. She gave it to Lily. + +Lily put on Sara's shoe. It was too big for her. Her foot slipped out. + +"Oops. Your shoe is too big for me. I can't walk in it," Lily said. + +She laughed. Sara laughed too. + +They swapped shoes. Sara put on her new shoe again. Lily put on her old shoe. + +They hugged each other. + +"I hope you like your new shoe, Sara. It is very nice," Lily said. + +"I do like it, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend," Sara said. + +They played together. They had fun. They were happy. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys. They have cars, trucks, dolls and blocks. They also have a toy shop. They take turns to be the shopkeeper and the customer. + +One day, Sam is the shopkeeper. He puts some celery on the counter. He says, "This is celery. It is good for you. You can eat it or make soup with it. It costs two coins." + +Tom is the customer. He looks at the celery. He does not like celery. He thinks it is yucky and green. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want celery. Do you have anything else?" + +Sam says, "Yes, I have something else. I have a dead fish. It is very fresh. You can fry it or bake it. It costs three coins." + +Tom looks at the dead fish. He does not like dead fish. He thinks it is smelly and slimy. He says, "No, thank you. I do not want dead fish. Do you have anything else?" + +Sam says, "No, I do not have anything else. You have to buy something. This is my shop. You have to pay me." + +Tom says, "But I do not like anything you have. I do not want to pay you. I want to play with something else." + +Sam says, "Too bad. You have to pay me. Or I will tell mom." + +Tom says, "Fine. I will pay you. But I will not take anything. Here are two coins. Keep your celery and your dead fish. They are gross." + +Sam says, "Thank you. Come again soon." + +Tom says, "No, thank you. I will not come again. Your shop is boring. I will play with my cars and trucks. They are fun." + +Sam says, "OK. I will play with my dolls and blocks. They are fun too." + +They put away their toy shop. They play with their other toys. They are happy. They are brothers. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun until Tom wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Give me the doll, Lily!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +They both pulled the doll and it broke in half. Lily and Tom looked at the doll and started to weep. + +"Mama, mama, come here!" they cried. + +Mama came from the kitchen and saw the broken doll and the weeping children. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Lily and Tom broke the doll!" they both said. + +Mama sighed and picked up the pieces of the doll. She hugged Lily and Tom and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The doll is broken. But it's not the end of the world. You can still play with other toys. And you can share them, right?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mama." + +Mama smiled and said, "Good. Now, why don't you go and play with the car for a minute, Lily? And Tom, you can play with the blocks for a minute. Then you can switch, okay?" + +Lily and Tom agreed and went to play with the other toys. They stopped weeping and started to laugh. They were glad that mama was nice and that they had more toys to play with. They learned to share and to be careful with their toys. They had a good time. +Anna and her mom were going on a big plane to see grandma. Anna was very excited. She packed her favorite doll and her red hat in her small bag. Mom packed a lot of things in her big bag. She also had a small book with her picture and name on it. She said it was her passport and she needed it to go on the plane. + +They got in a taxi and went to the airport. There were many people and many bags. Mom showed her passport to a man at a desk. He looked at it and gave it back to her. Then they went to a big line. Anna saw a big machine that made a loud noise. She was scared. + +"Mom, what is that?" she asked. + +"That is a scanner. It checks our bags to make sure we don't have anything bad in them. Don't worry, it won't hurt us. We just have to put our bags on a belt and let them go through the machine. Then we can get them back on the other side." Mom explained. + +Anna nodded. She held her mom's hand and followed her. She put her small bag on the belt and watched it go into the machine. She hoped her doll was okay. She walked through a metal gate with her mom. A woman smiled at them and said they could go. Anna looked for her bag on the other side. She saw it and ran to get it. She opened it and hugged her doll. She was glad she was still there. + +Mom got her big bag and her passport. She checked her passport and put it in her pocket. She took Anna's hand and said, "Come on, we have to go to our gate. That's where we can board the plane." + +They walked to their gate. There were many seats and a big window. Anna saw a big plane outside. She wondered if that was their plane. She wanted to see grandma soon. She was glad they were going on a big plane. She didn't know that mom had left her passport on the seat. She didn't know that they would have a big problem soon. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They plan to visit the zoo with their moms. They want to see the animals. + +They get in the car and go to the zoo. They are happy and excited. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and more. They hear the animals make noises. They learn their names and what they eat. + +They see a big giraffe. It has a long neck and spots. It eats leaves from a tall tree. Anna and Ben think it is impressive. They want to touch it, but their moms say no. They say it is too far and too big. + +They take a picture with the giraffe. They smile and wave. They say thank you to the giraffe. They go to see more animals. They have a lot of fun at the zoo. They plan to come back again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to create things. She had many crayons, papers, stickers and scissors. She liked to make cards, pictures, masks and hats. She also liked to play with her dog, Max, who was big and brown and had soft fur and a wet nose. + +One day, Lily decided to create a wild hat for Max. She took a green paper and cut it into a circle. Then she cut out two holes for Max's ears. She also cut out some yellow and orange papers and made them into spikes. She glued the spikes on the green circle. She had made a wild hat that looked like a dinosaur. + +She called Max and put the hat on his head. "Look, Max, you are a wild dinosaur!" she said. "Do you like your hat?" Max wagged his tail and licked her face. He liked his hat, but he also liked to play. He ran around the room, shaking his head and making funny noises. He knocked over a chair, a lamp and a vase. He made a big mess. + +Lily laughed and chased him. "Max, you are too wild!" she said. "Come here, you silly dinosaur!" She caught him and hugged him. She felt his paw on her arm. He was still wearing his hat. She smiled and kissed him. "You are the best dinosaur ever, Max. And you are my best friend." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the forest near their home. They find a big hill in the forest. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Lily says. "Maybe we can see the sun rise!" + +"OK!" Tom says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky. It is not easy to climb." + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see many trees and flowers and animals in the forest. They hear the birds sing and the wind blow. They feel happy and excited. + +They reach the top of the hill. They sit on a big rock and look at the sky. They see the sun rise. The sun is bright and warm and beautiful. It makes the sky and the forest look like a painting. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "The sun rise is so pretty! I'm glad we climbed the hill!" + +"Me too!" Tom says. "We did it! We are brave and strong!" + +They hug each other and smile.

They can't wait to play in the forest again. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they always wanted the same one. One day, they saw a shiny red pot on the stove. They both ran to grab it, but Anna was faster. + +"Mine!" she shouted, holding the pot. "It is so pretty and red!" + +"No, mine!" Ben said, trying to pull the pot from her. "I saw it first!" + +They tugged and pulled, but neither would let go. They did not see that the stove was hot. They did not hear their mom coming. + +"Ouch!" Anna cried, as the pot touched the stove. She dropped it and rubbed her hand. + +"Ouch!" Ben cried, as the pot hit his head. He fell to the floor and held his head. + +Their mom rushed to them and hugged them. She checked their hand and head and put some ice on them. + +"You are both okay, but you were very selfish," she said. "You should share your toys and be careful in the kitchen. The stove is not a toy. It can burn you or strike you." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Anna said. + +"I'm sorry, too," Ben said. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry.

"We want to play with you!" + +The balloon did not hear them. It kept floating away. Sam and Mia felt sad and angry. They wanted the balloon so much. + +They saw a ladder leaning against a wall. It was very tall and had many steps. Sam had an idea. + +"Maybe we can climb the ladder and get the balloon," he said. "Then we can grow bigger and see more of the view." + +Mia was scared. She did not like heights. She thought the ladder was dangerous. + +"No, Sam, don't do it!" she said. "It's too high and wobbly. You might fall and hurt yourself. The balloon is not worth it. It's just an ordinary balloon." + +Sam did not listen. He wanted the balloon more than anything. He started to climb the ladder. He felt brave and excited. + +He reached the top of the ladder and stretched his hand. He was very close to the balloon. He could almost touch it. + +But then, a gust of wind blew the balloon away. It flew out of his reach. Sam felt disappointed and frustrated. He had wasted his time and effort. + +He looked down and saw Mia. She was crying and waving at him. She was worried and scared for him. + +"Sam, come down, please!" she said. "I don't want you to get hurt. I love you, Sam. You are more important than the balloon." + +Sam realized that Mia was right. He had been foolish and selfish. He did not need the balloon. He had his sister, who loved him and cared for him. + +He carefully climbed down the ladder. He hugged Mia and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I love you, too. You are more important than the balloon. Let's go back to the garden and play." + +They walked back to the garden, holding hands. They forgot about the balloon.

They could not reach it. + +"Stop fighting, Ben and Lily! You are brother and sister. You should share and be kind to each other. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and your toys. Now say sorry and hug each other," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They said sorry and hugged each other. They also said sorry to Mom. Mom smiled and hugged them too. + +"Good, Ben and Lily. I love you both. Now, why don't you play with something else? There are many toys and books on your shelf.

Don't forget to give me back my bunny, okay?" + +Tom said, "Okay, okay. I will give you back your bunny tomorrow. Don't worry." + +But Tom did not give back the bunny the next day. He lied to Lila and said he forgot it at home. He did not want to part with the bunny. He kept it in his backpack and played with it secretly. + +Lila was sad and angry. She missed her velvet bunny. She did not trust Tom anymore. She said to Tom, "You are a bad friend. You took my bunny and did not give it back. You lied to me. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he made a mistake. He said to Lila, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was wrong. I was envious of your bunny and I wanted to keep it. But I know it is yours and you love it. Please forgive me. Here is your bunny. I hope you can still be my friend." + +Lila looked at Tom and saw he was sincere. She took her bunny and hugged it. She said to Tom, "Thank you, Tom. I'm glad you gave me back my bunny.

He can go down with his legs straight or bent. + +"Come on, Mia!" Ben says. "The slide is fun! You can do it!" + +"No, Ben!" Mia says. "The slide is scary! I can't do it!" + +Ben tries to help Mia. He holds her hand. He tells her to close her eyes. He tells her to count to three. He tells her to smile. But Mia still does not want to go on the slide. + +Ben is sad. He wants to play with Mia. He wants to splash with Mia. He wants to have fun with Mia. But Mia does not want to play with him. + +Then Ben has an idea. He sees a small slide near the pool. The small slide is not high. It is not scary. It is just right for Mia. + +"Look, Mia!" Ben says. "There is another slide! A small slide! Do you want to try it?" + +Mia looks at the small slide. She sees that it is not high. She sees that it is not scary. She sees that it is just right for her. + +"OK, Ben!" Mia says. "I will try it!" + +Ben and Mia go to the small slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and giggle. They splash and splash. They have fun and fun. + +Ben and Mia are happy. They are friends. They like to play at the park. The park has a big slide and a small slide.

It is pretty," Mia said, taking out the necklace. It had a silver chain and a star pendant. + +"Can I see it?" Ben asked, reaching for the necklace. + +"No, it is mine. You have your car," Mia said, holding the necklace close to her chest. + +"Please, just for a moment. I want to touch the star," Ben said, trying to grab the necklace. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are hurting me!" Mia said, pulling the necklace away. But Ben was too strong and he yanked the necklace from Mia's hand. The chain broke and the star fell on the floor. + +"Look what you did! You broke my necklace! Mommy will be angry!" Mia said, crying. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to see the star. It is sharp," Ben said, picking up the star.

She saw the broken necklace, the star, and the blood on the floor. She also saw Ben and Mia crying. + +"Mommy, Ben broke my necklace. He was mean to me. He wanted my star," Mia said, sobbing. + +"Mommy, I'm sorry. I was curious. I wanted to touch the star. It is sharp. It cut my finger," Ben said, showing Mommy his finger. + +Mommy sighed and hugged both of them. She cleaned Ben's finger and put a band-aid on it. She also fixed Mia's necklace and put it back on her. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Mommy," Ben said, looking at them. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, Mommy," Mia said, looking at them too. + +"It's okay, my loves. I know you didn't mean to hurt each other. But you have to be careful with your things and respect each other's things. And you have to ask before you touch something that is not yours. Do you understand?" Mommy said, looking at them. + +"Yes, Mommy. We understand," Ben and Mia said, nodding. + +"Good. Now, why don't you hug each other and say sorry?" Mommy said, smiling. + +Ben and Mia hugged each other and said sorry. They felt better and stopped crying.
