They turn on the faucet and rub their hands with soap. They rinse them with water and dry them with a towel. + +"Good job, you two!" mom says. "Now let's go to the table and see what we have for dinner." + +Anna and Ben follow mom to the dining room. They see a big pot on the stove and a bowl of salad on the table. Mom opens the pot and shows them what's inside. + +"Look, I made your favorite soup!" mom says. "It has carrots, potatoes, chicken and noodles. Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. They sit on their chairs and mom serves them a plate of soup and a slice of bread. They take a spoon and taste the soup. + +"Mmm, this is incredible!" Anna says. + +"I agree, this is incredible!" Ben says. + +They eat their soup and bread and enjoy every bite. They also eat some salad and drink some juice. They thank mom for the delicious dinner and help her clear the table. + +"Mom, you are the best cook ever!" Anna says. + +"Mom, you are the best mom ever!" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You are the best kids ever! I love you very much!" +Tom liked to play with his hat. It was a big hat with a red feather. He put it on his head and pretended to be a pirate. He said, "Arrr, matey, I am the captain of this ship!" + +But his sister Lily did not like his hat. She wanted to play with her doll. She said, "Tom, your hat is silly. It is too big for you. And the feather is sharp. It can poke your eye." + +Tom did not listen to her. He said, "No, Lily, my hat is not silly. It is cool. And the feather is not sharp. It is soft. See?" He touched the feather with his finger. + +But he was wrong. The feather was sharp. It pricked his finger and made it bleed. Tom cried, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" + +Lily felt sorry for him. She said, "Tom, I am sorry. I did not mean to make you cry. Here, let me see your finger. I have a band-aid." She took his finger and put a band-aid on it. + +Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I am sorry I did not share my hat with you. Do you want to try it on?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. But be careful with the feather. It is sharp." + +They put the hat on Lily's head and laughed. They looked at each other and felt cheerful. They said, "We are pirates! Arrr, matey, let's sail the seas!" +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big hill with a tunnel under it. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Ben said. "It will be fun!" + +Sara was not sure. She felt frightened. She thought there might be something scary in the tunnel. She said, "No, Ben. I don't want to go. It is dark and cold and maybe there are bugs or rats or monsters." + +Ben laughed. He said, "Don't be silly, Sara. There is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a tunnel. Come on, I will go first and show you." + +Ben ran to the tunnel and went inside. He shouted, "See, Sara? It is not bad. It is just a tunnel. Come and join me!" + +Sara took a deep breath. She wanted to be brave like Ben. She followed him to the tunnel and went inside. She saw a little light at the other end. She thought it was the way out. She said, "OK, Ben. I am coming. Let's go to the other side." + +But when they got to the other side, they did not see the park. They saw a big fence with a sign that said, "Keep Out. Danger. Do Not Enter." They heard a loud roar and saw a big shadow. It was a lion. It had escaped from the zoo and was hiding under the tunnel. + +Sara and Ben were very frightened. They screamed and ran back to the tunnel. They hoped the lion would not follow them. They wished they had never gone inside. They learned a lesson. They should not go to places they do not know. They should listen to their feelings. They should be careful and safe. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. But today, they have a problem. Tom wants to play with the ball. Jen wants to play with the doll. They both say, "This is mine!" They are bossy. + +Then, a big dog comes. The dog sees the ball and the doll. He wants to play, too. He runs to Tom and Jen. He grabs the ball with his mouth. He shakes the doll with his paws. He makes a mess. Tom and Jen are scared. They cry, "Help!" + +A man sees the dog. He has a bag of salt. He throws some salt at the dog. The dog does not like the salt. He drops the ball and the doll. He runs away. The man says, "Are you OK?" Tom and Jen nod. They say, "Thank you!" + +The man gives them back the ball and the doll. He says, "You should share your toys. Then you can have more fun." Tom and Jen look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "You are right. We are sorry." They hug. They unite. They decide to play together. They are happy. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had a big dragon toy that was green and soft. She called him Dino. She liked to pretend that Dino could fly and breathe fire. She would make him roar and flap his wings. + +One day, Lily and Dino were playing in the garden. Lily saw a big tree with red apples. She wanted to pick one for Dino. She climbed up the tree and reached for an apple. But she slipped and fell. She landed on the ground with a thud. She was not hurt, but she was very sad. She had dropped Dino on a high branch. She could not get him back. + +She started to cry. "Dino, Dino, where are you?" she sobbed. She looked up and saw Dino's green scale shining in the sun. He looked sad too. He wanted to be with Lily. + +Lily's mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Lily on the ground and Dino on the tree. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. I will rescue Dino for you. He is your best friend. He misses you too." + +She got a ladder and climbed up the tree. She reached for Dino and took him down. She gave him to Lily and said, "Here you go, honey. Here is your Dino. He is safe and sound." + +Lily smiled and hugged Dino. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and Dino so much." She kissed Dino's scale and made him roar. She was happy again. She and Dino played in the garden until it was time for dinner. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the missile. The missile is big and red. It can fly in the air and make a loud noise. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They bring the missile with them. They want to show it to the other kids. They find a big hill. They put the missile on the hill and press a button. The missile flies up, up, up. The other kids watch and clap. + +"Wow, that is a cool missile!" says a girl. "Can I play with it?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They both want to play with the missile. They do not want to share it. + +"No, it is ours!" says Tom. + +"No, it is mine!" says Sam. + +They start to fight. They pull the missile from each other. They are not friends anymore. + +A boy comes and sees them. He is smart and healthy. He eats many fruits and vegetables. He knows how to share. + +"Hey, stop fighting!" he says. "You can both play with the missile. You can take turns. You can choose who goes first. Then you can be friends again." + +Tom and Sam stop fighting. They think about what the boy says. They feel sorry. They do not want to lose their friend. + +"OK, we can share," says Tom. + +"OK, we can take turns," says Sam. + +They smile at each other. They thank the boy. They choose who goes first. They play with the missile. They have fun. They are friends again. +Lily was a curious girl. She liked to look at everything and ask questions. One day, she saw a big sack in the yard. She wondered what was inside. She ran to the sack and opened it. + +Inside the sack, there were many shiny things. There were pots and pans and spoons and forks. There were also some candles and matches. Lily liked shiny things. She took out a candle and a match. She wanted to see the fire. + +She rubbed the match on the sack. It made a spark. Then it made a flame. Lily was happy. She lit the candle with the match. She saw the fire on the candle. She smiled. + +But the fire was not only on the candle. It was also on the sack. The sack was dry and old. It caught fire very fast. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It made smoke and heat. Lily was scared. She dropped the candle and the match. She ran away from the sack. + +She ran to her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom was angry and worried. She took Lily to the hose. She sprayed water on the sack. She put out the fire. She was glad that Lily was not hurt. But she was also sad that the sack was burned. The sack belonged to her friend. It had things for a yard sale. She had to tell her friend what happened. She hoped her friend would not be mad. + +She hugged Lily. She told her that fire was dangerous. She told her not to play with matches or candles. She told her to be careful and listen. Lily was sorry. She said she was sorry. She said she would not do it again. She learned a lesson. She was still curious, but she was also more careful. +Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretended he was a mechanic and fixed them with his tools. + +One day, he found a big car in the garage. It was his dad's car. It was red and shiny and had four doors. Sam wanted to play with it. He opened the door and climbed inside. He saw many buttons and levers on the dashboard. He pushed and pulled them, making noises with his mouth. + +"Vroom, vroom, beep, beep, I'm a mechanic!" he said. + +He did not see his dad coming into the garage. His dad was angry. He saw Sam in his car, messing with the controls. He shouted at Sam. + +"Sam, what are you doing? Get out of my car! You could break something!" + +Sam was scared. He did not mean to make his dad angry. He jumped out of the car and ran to his room. He grabbed his blanket and covered his head. He felt sad and sorry. + +His dad followed him to his room. He saw Sam hiding under the blanket. He felt bad for yelling at him. He sat on the bed and lifted the blanket. + +"Sam, I'm sorry I shouted at you. I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful with my car. It's not a toy. It's a real car. It has many parts that can be damaged or dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded. He looked at his dad with big eyes. He said in a small voice. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I won't touch your car again. I just wanted to be a mechanic like you." + +His dad smiled. He hugged Sam and kissed his head. He said in a soft voice. + +"I love you, Sam. You can be a mechanic when you grow up. But for now, you can play with your toy cars. They are safer and more fun. And I can help you fix them if they break. How does that sound?" + +Sam smiled. He felt happy and forgiven. He said in a loud voice. + +"I love you, dad. Let's play with my toy cars. You can be my helper. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep, we are mechanics!" +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It looks fun and wild. + +"Can we go on the slide?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. + +Anna goes first. She sits on the slide and holds on tight. She slides down very fast. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She enjoys the slide a lot. She laughs and shouts. + +"Wow, that was awesome!" Anna says when she reaches the bottom. + +Ben goes next. He slides down even faster than Anna. He enjoys the slide too. He smiles and waves. + +"That was amazing!" Ben says when he joins Anna. + +They hug and high-five. They are very happy. + +"Can we go again?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Of course!" Ben says. "But first, let's make a promise." + +"What promise?" Anna asks. + +"Let's promise to always be friends and have fun together," Ben says. + +"I like that promise," Anna says. "I promise to always be your friend and have fun with you." + +They hold hands and look at each other. They are the best of friends. They go on the slide again and again. They enjoy the wild slide and their promise. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Let's go say hello," Lily said to Ben. "Maybe he wants to play with us." + +They walked to the bench and smiled at the boy. "Hi, I'm Lily and this is Ben. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +The boy looked up and said, "I'm Sam. I just moved here. I don't have any friends." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Sam. They wanted to make him happy. "You can be our friend," Ben said. "We are playing in the park. Do you want to join us?" + +Sam nodded and smiled. He got up from the bench and followed Lily and Ben. They showed him the swing and the slide and the sandbox. They had fun together. + +But then, Sam tripped and fell. He got a cut on his knee. It hurt and bled. He started to cry. + +Lily and Ben ran to him and helped him up. They saw his cut and said, "Oh no, Sam, are you okay?" + +Sam nodded and wiped his tears. He said, "It hurts, but I'm brave. I can handle it." + +Lily and Ben were proud of Sam. They said, "You are very brave, Sam. We will help you. Come on, let's go to the water fountain and wash your cut. Then we can put a band-aid on it." + +They took Sam to the water fountain and cleaned his cut. Then they found a band-aid in Lily's backpack and put it on his knee. Sam felt better. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben," Sam said. "You are very kind and helpful. You are good friends." + +Lily and Ben hugged Sam and said, "You're welcome, Sam. We are happy to be your friends. You are a good friend too." + +They went back to playing in the park. They laughed and talked and shared. They welcomed Sam to their group. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with dolls. Lily has a doll with a pink dress. Tom has a doll with a blue hat. + +They make the dolls talk to each other. Lily says, "Hello, I am Lily. You are cute. Do you want to be my friend?" Tom says, "Hello, I am Tom. You are cute too. Yes, I want to be your friend." + +They make the dolls hug and kiss. They are happy. They laugh and smile. They say, "We love our dolls. We love our game. We love each other." They are good friends. They have fun. +Tom and Sue like to play in the sand. They have a brown bucket and a red shovel. They make a big hill with the sand. They want to put a flag on the hill. + +"Look, I have a blue ribbon. We can tie it to a stick and make a flag," Tom says. + +"Good idea, Tom. Let me help you," Sue says. + +They find a stick and tie the ribbon to it. They stick the flag on the hill. They are happy. + +But then a big dog comes. The dog sees the flag and runs to it. The dog wants to play with the flag. The dog pulls the flag and the stick. The hill falls down. The bucket and the shovel are buried in the sand. + +"Hey, stop it! That's our flag!" Tom yells. + +"Go away, dog! You are bad!" Sue cries. + +But the dog does not listen. The dog runs away with the flag and the stick. Tom and Sue are sad. They have no flag, no hill, no bucket, and no shovel. They go home. They do not want to play in the sand anymore. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They had a new tree in their house. It was big and green and smelled nice. Mom and Dad said they could help decorate the tree with ornaments. Ornaments were shiny things that hung on the tree. + +Lily picked a red ornament. It was round and sparkly. She wanted to put it on the top of the tree. She tried to reach, but she was too small. She asked Ben to help her. Ben was older and taller than Lily. + +"Ben, can you help me put this ornament on the top of the tree?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Give me the ornament and I'll try," Ben said. + +Ben took the ornament from Lily and stood on his toes. He stretched his arm as high as he could. He tried to hook the ornament on the top branch of the tree. But he was not tall enough either. The ornament slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. + +"Oh no! The ornament is broken!" Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I tried, but I couldn't reach," Ben said. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw the broken ornament and the sad children. + +"Don't worry, Lily and Ben. It's okay. We have more ornaments. And we can fix this one with glue," Mom said. + +"Really?" Lily asked. + +"Really. And you know what? You don't have to put the ornaments on the top of the tree. You can put them anywhere you like. The tree will look beautiful no matter what," Dad said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them. Then they picked new ornaments and decorated the tree. They tried to make it look as pretty as they could. They had fun and they were happy. +Anna and Ben like to collect rocks. They go to the park with their mom and look for rocks of different colors and shapes. They put the rocks in their buckets and show them to each other. + +"Look, I found a red rock!" Anna says. + +"Wow, that's pretty! I found a shiny rock!" Ben says. + +They find more and more rocks until their buckets are full. Then they sit on a bench and make a line with their rocks. They sort them by color and size and count them. + +"I have ten rocks. How many do you have?" Anna asks. + +"I have nine rocks. But mine are bigger!" Ben says. + +They are happy with their rocks and share them with each other. They make patterns and pictures with their rocks on the ground. They pretend their rocks are animals and cars and houses. + +Mom comes to see their rocks and smiles. She says they did a good job and she is proud of them. She says it is time to go home and have lunch. She helps them put their rocks back in their buckets. + +"What are we having for lunch, mom?" Anna asks. + +"We are having soup and bread and cheese. And for dessert, we have some delicious cookies!" Mom says. + +"Yay, cookies!" Ben says. + +Anna and Ben are excited. They love cookies. They hold their buckets and follow mom to the car. They can't wait to eat their lunch and have their cookies. They think collecting rocks is fun and they want to do it again. +Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used the refrigerator. The refrigerator was big and cold and had many things inside. + +"Look, Lily, I found cheese!" Tim said. He opened the refrigerator and took out a yellow block. "We can make cheese sandwiches!" + +"Yay, cheese!" Lily said. She ran to the bread box and got two slices of bread. "Let's put them on this plate." + +Tim and Lily put the cheese and the bread on the plate. They were ready to make their sandwiches. But then they heard a noise. It was their mom. She was coming back from the store. + +"Quick, hide the cheese!" Tim whispered. He did not want their mom to see it. He thought she would be angry. He looked around for a place to hide it. He saw the oven. The oven was big and hot and had a door. He opened the door and put the cheese inside. Then he closed it. + +"Where did the cheese go?" Lily asked. She looked at the plate. It only had bread. She was confused. + +"I hid it in the oven," Tim said. He smiled. He thought he was clever. + +But then they smelled something. It was the cheese. It was melting. It was dripping. It was burning. It was making smoke. + +"Oh no, the cheese!" Tim said. He opened the oven. He saw the cheese. It was not yellow anymore. It was brown and black and gooey. It was not cheese anymore. It was a mess. + +"Tim, Lily, what are you doing?" their mom said. She saw the smoke. She saw the oven. She saw the cheese. She was not happy. + +"Mom, we were playing chefs," Tim said. He tried to explain. "We wanted to make cheese sandwiches. But the cheese disappeared." + +"The cheese disappeared?" their mom said. She did not believe him. She looked at the oven. She looked at the cheese. She shook her head. "That's not disappearing, Tim. That's melting. And burning. And making a big mess." + +Tim and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not know the oven was hot. They did not know the cheese would melt. + +"Mom, we're sorry," Lily said. She hugged her mom. "We won't play with the oven again." + +"Mom, we're sorry," Tim said. He hugged her too. "We won't play with the cheese again." + +Their mom sighed. She hugged them back. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were safe. She was also impressed. She had never seen cheese like that before. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Tom had a toy sword and Lily had a toy map. + +"Arr, matey, the treasure is on the shelf!" Tom said, pointing to the high shelf where mom kept her books and vases. + +"Let's get it!" Lily said, climbing on the couch. She reached for the shelf, but she was too short. She saw a big vase that looked shiny and pretty. She wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "That vase is not for playing. It is sharp and can break. Mom will be mad if you break it." + +But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the vase and pulled it down. The vase was heavy and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Some pieces cut Lily's hand and made it bleed. Lily cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Lily said, holding her hand. + +Tom ran to her and saw the blood. He was scared. He thought Lily was dead. He dropped his sword and hugged her. + +"Lily, Lily, are you okay?" Tom said, sobbing. + +Lily was not dead. She was just hurt. She hugged Tom back and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was silly. I should have listened to you." + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken vase, the blood, and the children. She was angry and sad. She cleaned Lily's hand and put a band-aid on it. She scolded Tom and Lily for being naughty and careless. She told them to never touch the shelf again. She threw away the vase and the sword. She said they were too sharp and dangerous for children. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else. Something safe and fun. They loved each other and mom. They were not pirates anymore. They were just Tom and Lily. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with trains. They had a big box of toy trains and tracks that they could build in their room. Sometimes they pretended to be drivers and passengers, and they made sounds like "choo-choo" and "whistle". + +One day, they decided to make a big station with their blocks and cardboard. They worked hard to make it look nice, with windows and doors and signs. They put some of their trains inside the station, and some outside on the tracks. They were very proud of their station. + +But then, their big brother Tom came in. He was older and taller than them, and he did not like to play with trains. He liked to play with cars and balls and robots. He saw their station and said, "What is this? This is a poor station. It is not real. It is not fun. It is silly." + +He grabbed one of their trains and threw it across the room. It hit the wall and broke. Lily and Ben cried. They said, "Stop it, Tom! That is our train. That is our station. We made it. We like it. It is not poor. It is not silly. It is fun." + +Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, it is not. It is a poor station. Watch this." He kicked their station with his foot. It fell apart and the blocks and cardboard scattered. Lily and Ben cried louder. They said, "Tom, you are mean! You are bad! You broke our station. You hurt our trains. Go away!" + +Tom did not care. He said, "I don't care. I don't like your station. I don't like your trains. I like my cars and balls and robots. They are better. They are real. They are fun. You are babies. You are silly." + +He ran out of the room, leaving Lily and Ben with their broken station and trains. They hugged each other and sobbed. They did not know what to do. They wished Tom would be nice to them. They wished he would play with them. They wished he would like their station and trains. They wished he would whistle with them. +Lila and Ben are two cats who live with a human family. They like to play with the toys that the human children leave on the floor, but sometimes they quarrel over who gets to play with what. + +One day, they find a big ball of yarn that is high on a shelf. Lila and Ben both want to play with it, but they cannot reach it. They start to quarrel and meow loudly. + +"Stop it, you two!" the human mother says. She comes into the room and sees the cats looking at the yarn. "Do you want to play with this?" she asks, taking the yarn down. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lila and Ben say, jumping around. The human mother smiles and throws the yarn across the room. Lila and Ben chase after it, happy and excited. + +They forget to quarrel and have fun together. They roll the yarn, bite it, and scratch it. They make a big mess, but they do not care. They are too busy playing and having fun. The human mother watches them and laughs. She thinks they are cute and silly. She loves her cats, even when they quarrel. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a small seed and showed it to Tom. + +"What is this?" she asked. + +"It is a seed," Tom said. "If you put it in the dirt and give it water, it will become a plant." + +Lily wanted to see a plant grow from the seed. She made a hole in the dirt and put the seed in it. Then she poured some water from her cup. + +"Will it grow now?" she asked. + +"Maybe," Tom said. "But you have to wait. Plants grow slowly." + +Lily and Tom went to play with their ball. They forgot about the seed. The next day, they came back to the garden. They saw something green poking out of the dirt. + +"Look!" Lily said. "The seed became a plant!" + +They ran to see the plant. It had a long stem and a big leaf. It also had a big mouth with sharp teeth. It looked scary. + +"Hello, little ones," the plant said. "I am hungry. Do you have any bugs for me?" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like the plant. They did not want to give it bugs. They wanted to run away. + +"Go away, scary plant!" Lily said. + +"Yes, go away!" Tom said. + +But the plant did not go away. It opened its mouth and tried to bite them. Lily and Tom screamed and ran to their house. They told their mom about the scary plant. + +Their mom came to the garden. She saw the plant. She was not scared. She knew what it was. + +"It is a venus flytrap," she said. "It is a special kind of plant that eats bugs. It does not eat people. It is not scary. It is interesting." + +She explained to Lily and Tom how the venus flytrap worked. She told them it was rare and beautiful. She told them they could keep it if they wanted. + +Lily and Tom looked at the plant. They saw it was not scary. It was interesting. They decided to keep it. They gave it some bugs they found. The plant was happy. It thanked them. + +Lily and Tom learned something new. They liked the plant. They named it Vicky. They played with it every day. They were not scared of it anymore. They became friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Lily said. "Can we pick it?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, we can't. Mommy said some mushrooms are bad. They can make us sick." + +Lily frowned. She wanted to touch the mushroom. It looked soft and funny. She reached out her hand. + +"Stop!" Tom said. "Don't touch it!" + +But it was too late. Lily touched the mushroom. And the mushroom moved. It had a face and two arms and two legs. It was a fairy! + +"Ouch!" the fairy said. "That hurt! Why did you poke me?" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not recognize the fairy. They had never seen a fairy before. They thought fairies were nice and pretty. But this fairy was grumpy and ugly. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Lily said. "We didn't know you were a fairy. We thought you were a mushroom." + +The fairy snorted. "A mushroom? How rude! I am a fairy, and this is my home. You are trespassing. Go away!" + +Lily and Tom ran away. They did not want to make the fairy more angry. They went back to their house. They told Mommy what they saw. + +Mommy smiled. She did not believe them. She thought they made up the story. She gave them a hug and a cookie. + +"Next time, be careful what you touch in the garden," she said. "You never know what you might find." +Ben and Tom are brothers. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a pistol in their dad's closet. It is shiny and black. They think it is a toy. + +"Let's pack the pistol and go outside," Ben says. He puts the pistol in his backpack. Tom nods and follows him. They run down the stairs and out the door. + +They see a big tree in the yard. They want to climb it. Ben goes first. He puts his backpack on a branch. Tom waits below. Ben reaches the top and looks around. He sees a bird on another tree. He wants to scare it. + +He takes out the pistol and points it at the bird. He pulls the trigger. Bang! The pistol makes a loud noise. The bird flies away. Ben laughs. + +"Did you see that?" he shouts to Tom. "I scared the bird!" + +Tom does not answer. He falls to the ground. He is bleeding. The pistol was not a toy. It was real. Ben shot Tom by mistake. He is slow to realize what he did. He drops the pistol and screams. He is very scared and sorry. He cries for help. But it is too late. Tom is dead. +Lily and Ben were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They packed some sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice in a big basket. They were very happy and excited. + +They got in the car and drove to the park. They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass. Mom and Dad took out the basket and opened it. But they saw something terrible. + +"Oh no!" Mom said. "We forgot the plates and cups!" + +"How can we eat without plates and cups?" Dad asked. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and hungry. They did not want to eat with their hands. They did not want to drink from the bottle. They wanted to have a nice picnic. + +"Maybe we can go back and get them," Lily suggested. + +"But that will take too long," Ben said. "And the food will get cold and the juice will get warm." + +They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and at Mom and Dad. + +Then they heard a voice. + +"Hello, friends! Do you need some help?" + +They turned around and saw a friendly squirrel. He was holding a big leaf in his mouth. + +"I saw you forgot your plates and cups," he said. "But don't worry. I have some for you. You can use these leaves as plates and these acorns as cups. They are very clean and natural. And you can share some of your food with me and my friends." + +He pointed to some other squirrels, birds and rabbits who were watching from the bushes. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They thought the squirrel was very kind and clever. They thanked him and took the leaves and acorns. They put some sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice on them and gave some to the animals. They ate and drank and talked and laughed. They had a wonderful picnic. + +Mom and Dad were also happy. They thanked the squirrel and his friends for their help. They said they would never forget their plates and cups again. But they also said they would never forget their new friends. They all hugged and said goodbye. + +Lily and Ben learned that sometimes you can forget things, but you can also find solutions. And sometimes you can make new friends in unexpected places. They decided that their picnic was not terrible after all. It was the best picnic ever. +Lila and Ben are friends. They live in a village near the big lake. They like to play and sing and clap. They clap when they are happy, when they see a bird, when they hear a joke. + +One day, Lila and Ben go to the market with their moms. They see many things: fruits, flowers, toys, clothes. They clap when they see a big red apple, a yellow sunflower, a blue ball, a pink dress. Their moms buy some things for them. + +Then, they smell something yummy. They follow their noses and find a stall with cakes and pies. The cakes and pies have different colors and shapes. They look yummy and smell yummy. Lila and Ben want to try them. + +Their moms say yes, they can have one cake or pie each. They choose their favorite ones. Lila picks a round cake with white cream and red cherries. Ben picks a square pie with brown crust and green apples. They pay the baker and say thank you. + +They sit on a bench and eat their cakes and pies. They are yummy. They make them happy. They smile and laugh and clap. They share some bites with each other. They say they are the best cakes and pies ever. They clap some more. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the gorilla. He was very big and fat, and had black fur all over. He looked like a giant teddy bear. + +"Hello, gorilla!" Lily said, waving at him. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The gorilla looked at Lily and Ben, and made a loud noise. He sounded happy. He picked up a banana and threw it to them. Lily and Ben laughed and threw it back. + +"Wow, he is so strong and smart!" Ben said. "Can we stay here and watch him?" + +Mom nodded and smiled. She found a bench and sat down. She told Lily and Ben to be careful and not go too close to the fence. Lily and Ben nodded and settled on the ground. They watched the gorilla eat, play, and swing on the ropes. They felt like they had a new friend. +Anna and Ben were helping mom and dad get ready for Thanksgiving. They liked to be organized and do their jobs well. Anna was setting the table with plates, forks, and napkins. Ben was making place cards with names and stickers. Mom was in the kitchen, cooking the turkey and other yummy things. Dad was in the living room, watching football and playing with the dog. + +"Anna, can you pass me the scissors?" Ben asked. He wanted to cut out a turkey shape for his place card. + +"Sure, here you go," Anna said. She handed him the scissors and looked at his place card. It had his name, a star, and a heart. "That's very nice, Ben. I like your stickers." + +"Thank you, Anna. I like your napkins. They are very pretty," Ben said. He cut out the turkey and glued it on his place card. He was very proud of his work. + +"Kids, can you come to the kitchen for a minute?" Mom called. "I need your help with something." + +Anna and Ben ran to the kitchen. They saw mom holding a big, brown turkey on a tray. It smelled good and made their mouths water. + +"Wow, mom, that's a huge turkey!" Anna exclaimed. + +"It sure is, honey. And it's almost ready to go in the oven. But I need you to do one thing for me. Can you twist the legs together and tie them with this string?" Mom asked. She showed them how to do it. + +"Can I do it, mom?" Ben asked. He liked to twist things. + +"Sure, Ben. But be careful, it's hot. Anna, can you hold the string for him?" Mom asked. + +"OK, mom. I can do that," Anna said. She held the string while Ben twisted the legs together. They worked as a team and did a good job. + +"Good job, kids. You are very helpful and organized. Thank you for helping me with the turkey," Mom said. She smiled and gave them a hug. + +"You're welcome, mom. We love you," Anna and Ben said. They hugged her back. + +"Can we go back to our jobs now, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But don't forget to wash your hands first," Mom said. + +"OK, mom. Come on, Anna. Let's go finish our jobs," Ben said. + +They washed their hands and ran back to the dining room. They were happy and excited for Thanksgiving. They couldn't wait to eat the turkey and share what they were thankful for. +Tom and Ann like to play near the mill. The mill is a big house with a wheel that turns in the water. The wheel makes a loud noise and splashes water. Tom and Ann enjoy watching the wheel and throwing stones in the water. + +One day, they see a man come out of the mill. He is angry and shouts at them. He says they are stupid and they should go away. He says they are making the wheel stop and the mill not work. Tom and Ann are scared and run away. + +They hide behind a tree and cry. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They do not think they are stupid. They just like to play and have fun. They wonder if the man ever plays or has fun. + +They see a woman come out of the mill. She is kind and smiles at them. She says she is sorry for the man. She says he is the miller and he works very hard. She says he does not like children because they make noise and mess. She says he does not know how to enjoy life. + +She gives them some bread and cheese and tells them they can play near the mill, but not too close to the wheel. She says the wheel is dangerous and can hurt them. She says they should be careful and respectful. Tom and Ann thank her and promise to be good. They eat the bread and cheese and feel happy. They think the woman is nice and the miller is stupid. +Tim and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They pretend they are drivers in a big race. + +"Look at my car, it is so fast!" Tim says. He zooms his car past Mia's car and makes a loud noise. + +"No, my car is faster!" Mia says. She zooms her car after Tim's car and tries to catch up. + +They have fun until they see Mom coming with a tray of snacks. They stop their cars and run to the table. Mom smiles and gives them each a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Tim and Mia say. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They are careful not to spill or make a mess. They use their napkins to wipe their mouths. + +"You are very clever, Tim and Mia," Mom says. "You know how to play nicely and eat politely. Do you want to read a story with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Mia say. They put their toy cars away and follow Mom to the couch. They snuggle with her and listen to her read a story. They feel happy and cozy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big gray aeroplane in the sky. It makes a loud noise. + +"Look, Anna, an aeroplane!" Ben says. + +"I see it, Ben. It is very big and gray," Anna says. + +They run to the swings and pretend they are flying too. They swing high and low, and laugh. + +"Anna, Ben, time to go home!" their mom calls. + +They jump off the swings and run to their mom. They give her a hug. + +"Mom, we saw a big gray aeroplane!" Anna says. + +"Did you? That's nice. Did you have fun?" their mom asks. + +"Yes, we did. We played and swung and flew like the aeroplane," Ben says. + +They walk to the car. On the way, they see a little bird. It is brown and yellow. It hops on the grass and pecks at a worm. + +"Look, mom, a bird!" Anna says. + +"It is a pretty bird. Do you know what it is?" their mom asks. + +"No, what is it?" Ben asks. + +"It is a robin. It likes to sing and eat worms," their mom says. + +They watch the bird for a while. Then it springs up and flies away. + +"Bye, bird!" Anna and Ben say. + +They get in the car and go home. They are happy. They saw a big gray aeroplane and a little brown and yellow bird. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were going to grandma's house for the weekend. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Anna liked to pack her pink dress and her doll. Ben liked to pack his blue shirt and his car. + +They put their bags in the car and said goodbye to mom and dad. They were very excited to see grandma and grandpa. They liked to play in their big garden and eat their yummy cookies. They also liked to hear their stories and sing their songs. + +On the way to grandma's house, they saw a fierce storm. The sky was dark and the wind was loud. The rain was hard and the thunder was scary. Anna and Ben felt afraid and hugged each other. They looked out the window and saw the lightning flash. + +Grandma and grandpa were waiting for them at the door. They smiled and waved and opened their arms. They took their bags and gave them big hugs and kisses. They said, "Don't worry, the storm will pass soon. You are safe and warm here. We are so happy to see you." + +Anna and Ben felt happy and calm. They went inside and saw the fire in the fireplace and the cookies on the table. They smelled the soup and the bread in the kitchen. They heard the music and the laughter in the living room. They said, "We love you, grandma and grandpa. We are so happy to be here." +Ben and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big shell that was shiny and pretty. Ben wanted to pick it up, but Lily said, "No, Ben, that shell is sharp. It can hurt you." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He reached for the shell, but he felt a sting on his finger. He cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! The shell bit me!" He dropped the shell and ran to Mom. Mom looked at his finger and said, "Oh, Ben, you have a cut. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it." + +Lily followed Ben and said, "I told you, Ben, that shell was sharp. You should listen to me. I am your big sister." Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was silly. Can we still play together?" Lily said, "Yes, Ben, we can still play together. But next time, be careful." + +Mom and Dad took Ben and Lily to a shady spot under a big umbrella. They gave them some juice and cookies. They said, "You two are very brave. But you have to watch out for sharp things on the beach. And also for the tide. The tide is the water that goes up and down. Sometimes it can be high and strong, and sometimes it can be low and weak. You have to stay close to us and not go too far into the water." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad. We will be careful." They finished their juice and cookies and went back to the sand. They decided to build a sandcastle together. They used a bucket and a shovel and some sticks and stones. They made a big wall and a tower and a door. They were very proud of their sandcastle. They said, "Look, Mom and Dad, look at our sandcastle. It is the best sandcastle ever." + +Mom and Dad smiled and said, "Wow, Ben and Lily, your sandcastle is amazing. You are very creative. We are very proud of you." They took a picture of Ben and Lily and their sandcastle. They had a lot of fun at the beach. They were not lazy. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to learn new things. One day, they go with their mom to the big town. They see many cars, buses, shops and people. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lila asks, pointing to a tall building. + +"That is a library," mom explains. "A library is a place where you can find many books. Books have stories and pictures and information. You can read them or borrow them." + +"Wow, that sounds fun!" Lila says. + +"Mom, what is that?" Ben asks, pointing to a big clock. + +"That is a clock tower," mom explains. "A clock tower is a place where you can see the time. The time tells you when it is morning, noon, evening or night. The clock tower also makes a loud sound every hour." + +"Wow, that sounds smart!" Ben says. + +Lila and Ben are very curious and intelligent. They ask mom many questions about the town. Mom is happy to answer them. She thinks they are very clever and sweet. She loves them very much. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big hill with a lot of flowers. They wanted to go up and see the view. + +"Come on, Lily, let's climb the hill!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The hill is steep and slippery," Lily said. + +They started to climb the hill, holding hands. They saw many colors and smells. They felt happy and excited. But then, Ben stumbled on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, Lily, it hurts!" Ben said. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee. She felt scared and sorry. + +"Don't cry, Ben, don't cry. I'm here, I'm here. We'll go down and find mom and dad. They'll make it better," Lily said. + +She helped him stand up and walk. They went down the hill slowly and carefully. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them at the bench. They looked worried and angry. + +"Where were you, Lily and Ben? We told you to stay close and not go too far. You made us wait and wait. You could have been lost or hurt," mom said. + +"We're sorry, mom, we're sorry. We wanted to see the hill. It was so pretty and attractive. But Ben stumbled and hurt his knee. Look, he's bleeding. Can you help him, please?" Lily said. + +Mom and dad looked at Ben's knee. They felt sorry and relieved. They took out a band-aid and a tissue. They cleaned and covered his wound. They kissed and hugged him. + +"It's OK, Ben, it's OK. You're brave and strong. The band-aid will make it heal. You'll be fine soon," dad said. + +"Thank you, mom, thank you, dad. You're the best. I love you," Ben said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They decided to play in the park, but not on the hill. They enjoyed the rest of the day. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily were having lunch with Mom. They had soup and bread and cheese. Ben liked soup, but Lily did not. She made a terrible face and pushed her bowl away. + +"I don't want soup!" she said. "I want cake!" + +Mom shook her head. "No, Lily, you have to eat your soup first. Cake is for later." + +Lily was very angry. She grabbed a fork and threw it at Ben. The fork hit Ben's arm and made him cry. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Ben said. "Lily, why did you do that?" + +Mom was very upset. She took the fork from the floor and put it on the table. She picked up Lily and put her on a chair in the corner. + +"Lily, that was very bad. You don't throw forks at your brother. You say sorry to Ben right now." + +Lily did not want to say sorry. She crossed her arms and pouted. She looked at Ben and stuck out her tongue. + +Ben was still crying. He felt a sting on his arm. He looked at Mom and saw her sad face. He wanted to make her happy. He got up from his seat and walked to Lily. He reached out his hand and slapped her cheek. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Lily said. "Ben, why did you do that?" + +Ben looked at Lily and said, "You hurt me first. You threw a fork at me. That was not nice." + +Lily felt a sting on her cheek. She looked at Ben and saw his angry face. She realized she was wrong. She felt sorry for Ben. She reached out her hand and touched his arm. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was bad. I didn't mean to hurt you. Can we be friends?" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her sorry face. He realized he was wrong too. He felt sorry for Lily. He reached out his hand and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad too. I didn't mean to hurt you. Yes, we can be friends." + +Mom saw Ben and Lily hug. She smiled and felt happy. She walked to them and hugged them both. + +"I'm proud of you, Ben and Lily. You said sorry and made up. That's what good friends do. Now, how about some cake?" +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily found a big, furry beetle under a leaf. She was very happy. + +"Look, Tom, I found a beetle!" she said. "It is so soft and brown. Can I keep it?" + +Tom looked at the beetle. He wanted it too. He had a small, shiny beetle in his hand. He had an idea. + +"Sure, you can keep it, Lily," he said. "But can I see it first? I want to touch it." + +Lily gave him the beetle. Tom touched it and smiled. Then he quickly put it in his pocket and gave Lily his beetle. + +"Here, Lily, you can have this beetle," he said. "It is very pretty and green. You will like it." + +Lily took the beetle. She looked at it. It was not soft and brown. It was hard and green. She did not like it. + +"Tom, this is not my beetle!" she said. "You gave me a different beetle. You replaced my beetle. Give me back my beetle!" + +Tom shook his head. He ran away with the furry beetle. He did not want to share. He did not care if Lily was sad. + +Lily started to cry. She dropped the shiny beetle. She wanted her furry beetle back. She felt very angry and hurt. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. He was a bad friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck with a hose. The truck is filling gas for the cars. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "The truck has a lot of gas. I want to hold the hose and fill gas too." + +Lily shakes her head. "No, Ben. That is not for us. That is for the big people. They know how to do it. We have to be polite and wait." + +Ben does not listen. He runs to the truck and grabs the hose. He tries to pull it, but it is too heavy. He falls down and the hose sprays gas everywhere. The gas smells bad and makes everyone cough. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" the truck driver shouts. "Let go of the hose! You are making a mess!" + +Ben is scared. He lets go of the hose and runs back to his mom. He is wet and dirty. He starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he says. "I just wanted to fill gas." + +Lily and her mom come to help. They give Ben a hug and a tissue. They say it is okay. They say he made a mistake, but he can learn from it. + +"Next time, you have to listen to Lily," Ben's mom says. "She is a good friend. She knows how to be polite and safe." + +Ben nods. He says he is sorry to the truck driver too. The truck driver is not angry anymore. He says he will clean up the gas. He says he will give Ben and Lily a sticker each. They are stickers of trucks and cars. + +Ben and Lily smile. They say thank you. They stick the stickers on their shirts. They are happy. They hold hands and go to play again.

They start to argue and pull the toys from each other. "No, this is mine!" Lily says. "No, this is mine!" Max says. They make a big mess in their room. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the toys all over the floor and the bag empty. She is not happy. She tells Lily and Max to stop fighting and to share their toys. She says they can only pack one toy each. She helps them to choose. + +Lily picks her favorite doll. Max picks his favorite car. They put them in the bag. Their mom says they can also pack the ball, because they can play with it together. She shows them how to make a circle with the ball. She says they can roll it, throw it, and catch it. She says it is more fun to play with others than to play alone. + +Lily and Max agree. They say they are sorry for fighting.

She knocks on the door and says, "Anna, Ben, are you ready for your surprise?" + +Anna and Ben jump off the bed and run to the door. They are excited. They want to see the surprise.

It is smashed and dirty and sad. + +Mom hugs Anna and Ben and says, "Oh, my poor babies. Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I wanted to make you happy. But I see you did not clean up your room. You made a big mess. And now you made a bigger mess. And you missed your surprise. And you spoiled your birthday." + +Anna and Ben look at the cake. They look at Mom. They look at each other. They feel bad. They are sorry. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you. We love the cake. We did not mean to slip and fall. We did not mean to make a mess. We did not mean to spoil our birthday. Can we still have some cake? Can we still have some fun?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course, my sweeties. I love you too. You can still have some cake. And some fun. But first, you have to clean up your room. And then, you have to be more careful. And then, you have to make a wish. And blow out the candles.

They find their beds, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. They also see a big garden with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They are very excited and want to play. + +But their mum and dad say: "Wait a minute, children. We have to unpack and make the beds first. Then we can go to the beach and have some fun. Can you help us, please?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say: "Yes, mum and dad. We can help. We are clever and we understand." They help their mum and dad with the bags and the beds. They are very good and helpful. Their mum and dad smile and say: "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very clever and we understand. We love you very much. Now let's go to the beach and have some fun!" +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw many animals there. They saw ducks, rabbits, squirrels and birds. They liked to feed them bread and seeds. + +Then they saw a deer. The deer was big and brown. It had horns on its head. It was eating grass near a fence. Lily and Sam wanted to see it closer. + +"Can we go to the deer, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. The deer might be scared of you. Don't touch it or run after it. Just look at it and wave hello," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They walked slowly to the fence. They saw the deer look up at them. They smiled and waved their hands. + +"Hello, deer. You are pretty. We are Lily and Sam. What is your name?" Sam said. + +The deer blinked and tilted its head. It seemed curious. It took a step closer to the fence. It sniffed the air. + +"Maybe it likes us. Maybe it wants to be our friend," Lily said. + +She reached into her pocket and took out a piece of bread. She held it out to the deer. + +"Here, deer. Do you want some bread? It is yummy," she said. + +The deer stretched its neck and nibbled the bread from Lily's hand. It made a soft sound. Lily and Sam giggled. + +"Wow, the deer is eating from your hand. You are brave, Lily," Sam said. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are kind, too. The deer likes us both," Lily said. + +They gave the deer some more bread. They stroked its fur gently. The deer licked their fingers. They felt happy. + +Mom watched them from a distance. She smiled and took a picture. She was proud of her children. They were careful and gentle with the deer. They made a new friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw on the board. One day, Ben is sick and he cannot come to school. Anna is sad. She misses Ben. + +She goes to the board and draws a picture of Ben. She writes "I miss you" with thin crayons. She hopes Ben will see it and feel better. + +The teacher sees Anna's picture. She smiles and says, "That is very nice of you, Anna. You are a good friend. Ben will be happy when he sees your picture." + +The next day, Ben comes back to school. He is not sick anymore. He sees Anna's picture on the board. He runs to Anna and hugs her. He says, "Thank you, Anna. I missed you too. You made me happy with your picture." + +Anna and Ben play with toys and draw on the board again. They are happy. They learn that friends are important and they should care for each other. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big rock with a cord around it. They did not know what it was for. + +"Let's pull the cord and see what happens!" Tom said. + +"No, that is a bad idea. It might be dangerous. We should ask Mom or Dad first." Lily said. + +But Tom was ignorant. He did not listen to Lily. He pulled the cord hard. + +BOOM! + +The rock was not a rock. It was a bomb. It exploded and made a loud noise and a big fire. Lily and Tom were hurt and scared. They cried and cried. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and ran to the garden. They saw the smoke and the blood and the tears. They were shocked and angry and sad. + +"Who did this? What have you done?" Mom asked. + +Tom pointed at the cord and said, "I pulled it." + +Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Tom and took them to the hospital. They hoped they would be okay. But they knew they would have to pay a lot of money and face a lot of trouble. They wished Tom had not been so ignorant. They wished he had listened to Lily. They wished they had never seen that rock. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but some were old and broken. Their mom said they had to separate the good toys from the junk toys and put them in different boxes. She said the junk toys would go to the trash. + +Lily and Max started to sort their toys. Lily picked up a doll with a thin dress and a missing eye. She said, "This is junk. It is ugly and sad." She threw it in the junk box. + +Max picked up a car with a thin wheel and a scratched paint. He said, "This is not junk. It is fast and fun." He put it in the good box. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not agree. They started to argue. + +"Why do you keep that car? It is broken and old. It is junk!" Lily said. + +"No, it is not! It is my favorite car. It can race and zoom. It is good!" Max said. + +They pulled the car from each other. They were angry and loud. + +Their mom heard them and came to see. She saw the car and the boxes. She said, "Stop, stop! Why are you fighting? You can both keep the toys you like. But you have to share them and be nice. And you have to throw away the toys that are really junk. They are not safe or useful. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry." + +They hugged each other and their mom. They finished sorting their toys. They kept the car and the doll. They threw away the junk. They played together and had fun. +Anna and Ben were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside and see the animals. One day, they saw a big red barn that they had never seen before. It was far away from their house, near the woods. + +"Let's go see the barn!" Ben said. He was curious and brave. + +"I don't know, Ben. Mom and dad said we should not go too far," Anna said. She was careful and scared. + +"Come on, Anna. It will be fun. Maybe there are more animals inside the barn. Maybe there are horses or cows or pigs," Ben said. He grabbed Anna's hand and ran towards the barn. + +Anna followed Ben, but she felt nervous. She wondered what was inside the barn. She wondered if mom and dad would be angry. She wondered if they would get lost. + +They reached the barn and opened the door. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw some hay and some tools and some old boxes. They did not see any animals. + +"Hello? Is anyone here?" Ben called out. He hoped to find a friendly farmer or a cute kitten. + +But there was no answer. Only silence. + +Then, they heard a loud growl from behind a pile of hay. They turned around and saw a big, black bear. It had sharp teeth and claws and it looked very hungry. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouted. He was terrified and sorry. + +They ran out of the barn as fast as they could. They did not look back. They ran all the way to their house, where mom and dad were waiting for them. + +"Where have you been, Anna and Ben? We were worried sick!" mom said. She was angry and relieved. + +"We went to see the barn, mom. But there was a bear inside. A big, hungry bear!" Anna said. She was crying and shaking. + +"A bear? Oh, no! That's very dangerous. You should never go to that barn. It's old and abandoned and the bear lives there. We told you not to go too far," dad said. He was stern and worried. + +"We're sorry, mom and dad. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson," Ben said. He was ashamed and grateful. + +Mom and dad hugged Anna and Ben and took them inside. They gave them some cookies and milk and told them to be more careful next time. Anna and Ben nodded and said they loved them. They were glad to be safe and home. They never wondered about the barn again. +Ben liked to fix things. He had a big box of tools that his dad gave him. He had a hammer, a screwdriver, a wrench and some nails. He liked to fix his toys, his bike and his chair. He wanted to be a famous fixer like his dad, who fixed cars and trucks. + +One day, Ben saw a big hole in the fence of his yard. He thought he could fix it. He took his tools and some wood from the shed. He went to the hole and started to work. He hammered and screwed and nailed the wood to the fence. He was very proud of his work. + +But he did not see that he had fixed the wrong side of the fence. He had fixed the side that faced his neighbor's yard, not his own. His neighbor was Mr. Jones, who was very grumpy and mean. He did not like Ben or his dad. He did not like anyone who made noise or messed with his things. + +When Mr. Jones came home, he saw the hole in his fence. He was very angry. He saw Ben's tools and wood on his side of the fence. He thought Ben had broken his fence on purpose. He yelled at Ben and took his tools and wood. He threw them over the fence to Ben's yard. He said he would call Ben's dad and tell him what a bad boy Ben was. + +Ben was very sad and scared. He did not mean to break Mr. Jones' fence. He wanted to fix it. He ran to his house and hid in his room. He cried and wished he had fixed the right side of the fence. He hoped his dad would not be mad at him. He hoped he could still be a famous fixer like his dad. +Lily and Ben were very excited. They were going to visit their aunt and uncle on their yacht. They had never been on a yacht before. They packed their bags and got in the car with their mom and dad. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Not yet, honey. Be patient. It's a long drive to the harbor," mom said. + +Lily looked out the window and saw the sea. She saw boats of different sizes and colors. She wondered which one was their aunt and uncle's yacht. + +They finally arrived at the harbor and parked the car. They walked to the dock where their aunt and uncle were waiting for them. They hugged and kissed them and said hello. + +"Welcome to our yacht, Lily and Ben. We're so happy to see you," aunt said. + +"Wow, it's so big and shiny," Lily said. + +"Can we go inside?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, come on. Let us show you around," uncle said. + +They followed their aunt and uncle to the yacht. They climbed the stairs and entered the cabin. They saw a cozy living room, a small kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms. Their aunt and uncle showed them where they could sleep and put their bags. + +"Can we go outside?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The deck can be slippery and the water can be deep," uncle said. + +They went outside and saw the sun shining and the waves splashing. They saw seagulls flying and fish jumping. They felt the breeze and the salt on their skin. + +"This is so fun," Ben said. + +"I love it here," Lily said. + +They played on the deck, looked at the sea, and talked to their aunt and uncle. They had a wonderful time on the yacht. They were very happy they came to visit. +Tom and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like pigs, sheep, and chickens. They liked to feed them and pet them. But their favorite animal was the cow. The cow was big and black and white. It had a long tail and a bell around its neck. + +"Can we ride the cow, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"No, dear, the cow is not for riding. It is for giving milk and cheese," Mom said. + +"But it looks so fun!" Lily said. + +Tom and Lily did not listen to Mom. They waited until she was busy talking to Dad. Then they ran to the cow and tried to climb on its back. The cow did not like that. It mooed loudly and shook its head. It kicked its legs and ran away. Tom and Lily fell off the cow and landed on the ground. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cried and screamed. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came running. They saw what happened and were very angry. They scolded Tom and Lily for being naughty and not listening. They said they had to go home right away. They did not get to see the other animals or have ice cream. Tom and Lily were very sorry. They learned their lesson. They never tried to ride a cow again. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the pool with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big box near the pool. It has many pieces of foam in different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Mia, what is that?" Sam asks. + +"I don't know, Sam. Let's go and see," Mia says. + +They run to the box and take out some pieces. They are soft and light. They throw them in the pool and watch them float. + +"Wow, they are like boats!" Sam says. + +"Or like hats!" Mia says. She puts a yellow piece on her head and laughs. + +They jump in the pool and splash each other with water and foam. They have fun making shapes and patterns with the pieces. They also share them with their mom and dad, who join them in the pool. + +After a while, they get tired and hungry. They get out of the pool and dry themselves with towels. They see a picnic basket on the grass. It has sandwiches, fruits, and juice. + +"Come on, kids, let's have a snack," their mom says. + +They sit on a big blanket and eat their food. They are happy and comfortable. They thank their mom and dad for the surprise. + +"Mom, dad, where did you get the foam pieces?" Sam asks. + +"They are a gift from your aunt Lucy. She works at a toy factory and she thought you would like them," their dad says. + +"We love them! Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, aunt Lucy!" Sam and Mia say. + +They hug their mom and dad and smile. They look at the pool and the foam pieces. They can't wait to play with them again. +Sara and Mom went to the grocery store. Mom was busy. She had a long list of things to buy. Sara wanted to help. She put some apples, bananas, and bread in the cart. + +"Good job, Sara!" Mom said. "You are a big helper." + +Sara smiled. She liked to help Mom. She saw some cookies on a shelf. They looked yummy. She reached for them. + +"No, Sara," Mom said. "We don't need cookies. We have enough snacks at home." + +Sara was sad. She wanted the cookies. She started to cry. + +"Shh, Sara," Mom said. "Don't cry. We have to hurry. We have to go home and bathe. You are dirty from playing in the park." + +Sara stopped crying. She liked to bathe. She liked to splash in the water and play with her rubber duck. She forgot about the cookies. + +"Okay, Mom," Sara said. "Let's go home and bathe." + +Mom smiled. She paid for the groceries and took Sara to the car. They drove home and bathe. Sara was happy. She had a fun day with Mom. +Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. One day, they saw a big house with a high fence and a green hedge. They wondered who lived there and what they had inside. + +"Let's go and see," Tim said. He was curious and brave. He climbed over the fence and ran towards the house. + +"No, Tim, wait!" Sue said. She was scared and careful. She stayed behind the fence and watched Tim. "That's not our house. We should not go there." + +But Tim did not listen. He reached the hedge and tried to peek through. He saw a big window with a shiny car and a lot of toys. He wanted to go closer and touch them. + +Suddenly, a loud bark made him jump. A big dog came out of the house and ran towards him. It was angry and fierce. It wanted to protect the house and the toys. It wanted to prevent Tim from getting near. + +"Help, help!" Tim cried. He was afraid and sorry. He turned around and ran back to the fence. He hoped the dog would not catch him. + +Sue saw Tim and the dog. She was worried and brave. She grabbed a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog saw the stick and chased it instead of Tim. It liked to play with sticks. + +"Tim, hurry, come here!" Sue shouted. She helped Tim climb over the fence and hugged him. She was glad and relieved. She saved Tim from the dog. + +They ran away from the house and the hedge. They did not want to go there again. They learned their lesson. They realized that the house belonged to a wealthy family who had a lot of things, but also a big dog who did not like strangers. They decided to play in the park and be happy with what they had. They were still friends who liked to have fun. +Lily and Tom were sad. They had to leave their home. Their home was near a big river. The river was angry. It made a lot of water and mud. The water and mud took away their toys, their clothes, and their bed. + +Lily and Tom's mom and dad said they had to go. They had to find a new home. They had a big bag with some things. They also had a raft. A raft is a thing that floats on the water. They put the bag and the raft on a truck. The truck took them to the river. + +Lily and Tom's mom and dad said they had to enter the raft. They had to be careful. The river was still angry. It made a lot of noise and waves. Lily and Tom were scared. They held their mom and dad's hands. They entered the raft. They sat on the raft. They put on some vests. The vests were to help them float. + +Lily and Tom's mom and dad said they had to paddle. They had to use sticks to move the raft. They had to go to the other side of the river. There was a town there. They could find a new home there. Lily and Tom tried to paddle. They tried to be brave. They looked at the water and the sky. They hoped they would be safe. They hoped they would be happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But their favorite thing is the old couch. The old couch is big and soft. It has many pillows and blankets. Sara and Ben pretend the old couch is a castle, a boat, a spaceship, or anything they want. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing on the old couch. They pretend it is a train. Sara is the driver and Ben is the passenger. They make train noises and move the pillows. Sara says, "All aboard! The train is leaving!" Ben says, "Choo choo! Where are we going?" Sara says, "We are going to the zoo! We will see lions and monkeys and elephants!" Ben says, "Wow! I love the zoo!" + +They have fun on the old couch. They see many animals in their imagination. They laugh and clap. But then they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is coming home from work. She opens the door and sees Sara and Ben on the old couch. She says, "Hello, my sweeties! What are you doing?" Sara and Ben say, "Hi, mom! We are playing train on the old couch!" Mom says, "That sounds fun! But you know what? The old couch is very old and tired. It needs a rest. How about we move your toys and books to your room and let the old couch sleep?" Sara and Ben say, "Okay, mom. We love the old couch. We will be gentle with it." Mom says, "I love you, too. And I love the old couch. It was my couch when I was a little girl. It has many stories to tell. Maybe someday I will tell you some of them." Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please! We want to hear the stories of the old couch!" Mom says, "All right. But first, let's clean up the living room and have some dinner. Then we can cuddle on the old couch and read a book." Sara and Ben say, "Yay! That sounds great!" They hug their mom and help her tidy up. They are happy to play on the old couch and to hear its stories. They love their mom and their old couch. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toy soldiers. They have a big box full of them, and they make two teams. Ben is the blue team, and Mia is the red team. They put their soldiers on the floor and pretend they are fighting a war. + +Mia is very smart and makes a good plan. She hides some of her soldiers behind the sofa and the table. She waits for Ben to move his soldiers forward, and then she attacks from both sides. Ben is surprised and scared. He does not know what to do. He has fewer soldiers than Mia, and they are in trouble. + +Mia says, "Ben, you have to surrender! You have no chance to win. Give up your soldiers and say you are sorry." Ben does not want to surrender. He likes his soldiers and he wants to keep playing. He looks around and sees his dog, Rex. Rex is big and strong and dependable. He always helps Ben when he is sad or in trouble. + +Ben has an idea. He calls Rex and gives him a treat. He says, "Rex, come here. I need your help. Mia is being mean and wants to take my soldiers. Can you scare her away?" Rex wags his tail and barks. He loves Ben and wants to help him. He runs to the floor and sniffs the toy soldiers. He picks up some of them in his mouth and shakes them. He growls and barks at Mia. + +Mia is shocked and scared. She does not like Rex when he is angry. She thinks he might bite her or ruin her soldiers. She says, "Ben, stop Rex! He is being bad and dangerous. Make him go away!" Ben smiles and says, "No, Mia. You have to surrender. You have no chance to win. Give up your soldiers and say you are sorry." Mia does not want to surrender, but she has no choice. She is afraid of Rex and wants him to stop. She says, "OK, Ben. You win. I surrender. I am sorry. Please call Rex off." Ben is happy and proud. He says, "Good, Mia. That is very smart of you. Rex, come here. You are a good dog. You saved the day." He gives Rex another treat and hugs him. He says, "Thank you, Rex. You are the best. You are my hero." Rex wags his tail and licks Ben's face. He is happy and proud too. He likes to help Ben and play with him. + +Ben and Mia put their soldiers back in the box. They decide to play something else. They are still friends, and they do not fight anymore. They know that Rex is watching them and will always be there for them. He is quick and dependable and loyal. He is their best friend. +Tommy liked to mail letters to his big sister, who was at university. He missed her a lot and wanted to know what she was doing. He would draw pictures of his toys, his friends, and his dog, and write his name and some words he learned. He would put the letters in envelopes and stick stamps on them. Then he would ask his mom to take him to the mailbox. + +One day, Tommy had a special letter for his sister. He had made a card with glitter and stickers, and wrote "Happy Birthday" in big letters. He was very proud of his card and wanted to surprise his sister. He asked his mom to mail it right away, so it would get to his sister on time. + +But when they got to the mailbox, there was a problem. The mailbox was full of letters and packages, and there was no room for Tommy's card. Tommy was sad and worried. He did not want his card to be late or lost. He looked at his mom and said, "Mom, what can we do?" + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy. We can mail your card at the post office. They have a big machine that sorts the mail and sends it to different places. Your card will be safe and fast there. Come on, let's go." + +Tommy felt better and nodded. He held his mom's hand and walked to the post office. He saw the big machine and the people who worked there. He gave his card to a nice lady, who put it in a slot. She said, "Thank you, Tommy. Your card is very pretty. I'm sure your sister will love it." + +Tommy smiled and said, "Thank you, lady. My sister is very popular at university. She has many friends and learns many things. I miss her, but I'm happy for her. I hope she has a good birthday." + +The lady smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Tommy. You're a very sweet brother. I hope you see your sister soon." + +Tommy waved goodbye and left the post office with his mom. He felt happy and excited. He hoped his sister would get his card soon and call him. He wondered what she would say when she saw his card. He thought it was the best card ever. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some string. They want to make a kite. + +"Look, Ben, I have some string. We can tie it to the box and make a kite," Anna says. + +"Good idea, Anna. But we need something to make the box fly. What can we use?" Ben asks. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She sees some dry leaves on the ground. She picks up some and puts them in the box. + +"Maybe these leaves can help. They are dry and light. They can make the box go up in the air," Anna says. + +"Let's try it, Anna. I will bring the box and you bring the string. We can go to the hill and see if it works," Ben says. + +They run to the hill with the box and the string. They find a spot where the wind is strong. They tie the string to the box and hold it up. + +"Ready, Anna? Let's count to three and let go of the box," Ben says. + +"One, two, three!" they say together and let go of the box. + +The box lifts up in the air with the leaves inside. It looks like a kite. Anna and Ben are happy. They laugh and clap their hands. + +"Wow, it works, Ben! We made a kite with a box and some string and some dry leaves. We are so clever," Anna says. + +"Yes, we are, Anna. And we are having fun. Look at our kite. It is flying high and fast. It is the best kite ever," Ben says. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Anna likes to sort her toys by color. She puts the red toys in one pile, the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Ben likes to sort his toys by shape. He puts the round toys in one pile, the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Look, Anna, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you want to play with them?" Ben asks. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I sorted my toys by color. Do you want to play with them?" Anna replies. + +"No, thank you, Anna. I like my toys better. Your toys are boring." Ben says. + +"That's rude, Ben. You hurt my feelings. My toys are not boring. They are fun and pretty." Anna says. + +They start to argue and raise their voices. They do not want to share their toys or play together. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the mess of toys and the angry faces of Anna and Ben. She feels worry in her heart. She wants them to get along and be happy. + +"Anna and Ben, what is going on? Why are you fighting?" Mom asks. + +"Ben is rude. He said my toys are boring. He does not want to play with me." Anna says. + +"Anna is rude. She said my toys are better. She does not want to play with me." Ben says. + +Mom sighs and sits down with them. She hugs them and says, "I love you both very much. You are my children and you are special. Your toys are also special. They are different, but they are not better or worse. They are just toys. You can sort them by color or by shape or any way you like. But you can also mix them and play with them together. That way, you can have more fun and learn new things. And you can be kind and respectful to each other. That is more important than toys. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We love you too." + +They hug Mom and say sorry to each other. They start to pick up their toys and sort them together. They find new ways to play with them and have fun. They smile and laugh and forget their worry. Mom smiles and feels happy. She is proud of her children. +Tom and Anna like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend that they are drivers and they need a license to drive. A license is a card with your name and picture on it. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box is empty and has a hole on one side. Tom has an idea. He says, "Let's make a car out of the box!" Anna agrees. They get some crayons and stickers and decorate the box. They draw windows, wheels, lights and a license plate. They write their names on the license plate. + +They put the box on the floor and get inside. Tom is the driver and Anna is the passenger. They hold the crayons as steering wheels and make engine noises. They pretend that they are driving on the road. They see other cars, trees, houses and animals. They say hello to them. + +Suddenly, they see a big hill. Tom says, "Let's go faster!" Anna says, "OK!" They push the box with their feet and roll down the hill. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +But then, they see a sharp turn. Tom tries to steer the box, but it is too fast. The box spins out of control and hits a rock. The box flips over and lands on its side. Tom and Anna are upside down. They are scared and surprised. + +They crawl out of the box and look at it. The box is broken and torn. The crayons and stickers are scattered. The license plate is bent. They are sad and sorry. + +They hug each other and say, "Are you OK?" They are OK. They are flexible. Flexible means that you can bend and twist and not break. They are glad that they are flexible. + +They pick up the crayons and stickers and the license plate. They say, "We had fun, but we need a new car." They walk back to the garage, holding hands. They look for another box. They are ready to play again. +Tom and Anna like to play games. They are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. Sometimes they play with cards, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with puzzles. + +One day, they play with a new game. It is a game with pictures and words. They have to match the pictures and the words. The game is hard. Tom and Anna have to use their brains a lot. + +Tom is faster than Anna. He matches more pictures and words than Anna. He is happy. He thinks he is smarter than Anna. He tells Anna, "I am better than you. I have a bigger brain. You are slow and silly." + +Anna is sad. She does not like what Tom tells her. She thinks Tom is mean and rude. She tells Tom, "You are not better than me. You are just lucky. You have a smaller brain. You are mean and rude." + +Tom and Anna start to fight. They yell and push each other. They do not want to play anymore. They do not want to be friends anymore. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the game and the cards. She sees Tom and Anna angry and crying. She is not happy. She tells Tom and Anna, "Stop fighting. You are both smart and good. You have to share and be kind. You have to say sorry and hug." + +Tom and Anna listen to their mom. They feel sorry for what they tell each other. They say sorry and hug. They decide to play again. They decide to help each other and have fun. They are not competitive anymore. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big bear near the trees. The bear was filthy. He had mud and leaves on his fur. He looked sad and hungry. + +"Look, a bear!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Tom was scared. He did not like the bear. He thought the bear might bite them.

They said, "Shh, be quiet. You are too loud. You are annoying the animals." + +Anna felt sad. She felt embarrass. She stopped singing. She asked her mom and dad, "Why are they mean to me? I just want to sing." + +Her mom and dad hugged her. They said, "Anna, we love your singing. You have a beautiful voice. But not everyone likes the same things. Some people like quiet. Some people like loud. You have to respect other people's feelings. You can sing, but not too loud. You can sing, but not everywhere. You can sing, but not all the time. You have to find the right time and place to sing." + +Anna understood. She said, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to bother anyone. I will be more careful next time. I will sing when it is okay. I will be quiet when it is not." + +Her mom and dad smiled. They said, "That's good, Anna. We are proud of you. You are a smart and kind girl. You can still enjoy singing, but also respect others. That is the right thing to do." + +Anna nodded. She felt better. She saw a bird in a cage. She sang softly, "Bird, bird, you are so cute. I wish you could fly free. Maybe one day, you will see the sky." The bird chirped back. Anna smiled. She learned a lesson. She was happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They go to the same class. They like to play and learn together. But sometimes they have different ideas. + +One day, they have to tidy up the toys before lunch. Lily likes to tidy up. She puts the blocks in the box, the dolls in the basket and the books on the shelf. She says, "Tidying up is fun. It makes the class look nice." + +Tom does not like to tidy up. He thinks it is boring. He wants to keep playing. He throws the cars on the floor, the crayons on the table and the puzzles on the chair. He says, "Tidying up is not fun. It takes too long." + +Lily and Tom start to argue. They say, "You are wrong. I am right." They make a lot of noise. The teacher hears them. She comes to the class. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Tom, what are you doing? You have to tidy up the toys. It is the rule. If you do not tidy up, you cannot have lunch." + +Lily and Tom feel sorry. They know they have to listen to the teacher. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We will tidy up the toys." They work together. They help each other. They finish tidying up. The class looks nice. The teacher smiles. She says, "Well done, Lily and Tom. You have learned to cooperate. Now you can have lunch." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have made up. They say, "We are friends. We can have different ideas. But we can also share and help." They go to have lunch. They enjoy their food. They look forward to playing and learning together again. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a princess doll. The princess doll had a fancy dress, a shiny crown, and long hair. Lily loved to brush her hair and make her dance. + +One day, Lily's friend Anna came to play. Anna saw the princess doll and wanted to play with her too. She asked Lily, "Can I borrow your princess doll? She is so pretty and fancy. I want to make her a tea party." + +Lily did not want to share her princess doll. She said, "No, you can't borrow her. She is mine. You can play with the other dolls. They are nice too." + +Anna was sad. She said, "But I like the princess doll. She is the best. Please, can I borrow her for a little while? I will be careful and give her back." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked Anna and wanted to be a good friend. She said, "Okay, you can borrow her. But only for a little while. And you have to be very careful. She is my favorite." + +Anna was happy. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I will be very careful. I will make her a tea party and then give her back." + +Lily and Anna played with the dolls. They had fun. They made a tea party, a castle, and a garden. They shared the princess doll and the other dolls. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing soldiers in the garden. They had hats, jackets and pistols made of wood. They liked to march and shout orders. + +"Attention, soldiers!" Ben said. "We have to capture the enemy base. Follow me!" + +They marched across the grass, pretending to shoot at the trees and flowers. They reached a big bush and hid behind it. + +"Look, there it is!" Lily whispered. "The enemy base is a red tent. Let's go!" + +They ran towards the tent, holding their pistols. But when they got closer, they saw that the tent was not empty. There was a big dog inside, sleeping on a blanket. The dog heard them and woke up. It barked loudly and showed its teeth. + +"Run, run!" Ben yelled. "The dog is angry!" + +They turned around and ran back to the bush. But the dog was faster. It chased them and bit Ben's pistol. The pistol broke in half and fell to the ground. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "My pistol! The dog broke my pistol!" + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She gave him her pistol and hugged him. + +"Here, you can have mine," she said. "It's just a toy, Ben. It's not real. We shouldn't play with things that can hurt others." + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He hugged Lily back. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend. You are right. We shouldn't play with pistols. They are bad. Let's play something else." + +They left the dog and the tent alone. They went back to the garden and played with their ball. They had more fun and no one got hurt. They learned to be kind and careful. +Tom and Lily were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy to see new things and have fun. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time until they reached a big city. + +They stopped at a hotel, which was a big house with many rooms. They went inside and met a nice lady at a desk. She gave them a key and told them where to go. They took the elevator, which was a box that moved up and down, and found their room. + +The room had two beds, a TV, a table, and a window. Tom and Lily jumped on the beds and turned on the TV. They saw a show with funny animals and laughed. Their mom and dad smiled and put their bags away. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a fire alarm, which was a bell that told them to get out. They quickly grabbed their coats and followed their mom and dad. They went down the stairs and outside. There were many people and some fire trucks. They saw smoke coming from a window. + +They were scared and cold. They hugged their mom and dad and waited. A fireman, who was a person who helped with fires, came and talked to them. He said that there was a small fire in the kitchen, but it was out now. He said that their room was fine, but they could not go back yet. + +He said that he was sorry and that he had a surprise for them. He took them to another hotel, which was bigger and nicer. He said that he had called the nice lady at the desk and that she had agreed to replace their room with a better one. He said that she was very generous and that they could stay there for free. + +Tom and Lily were amazed and happy. They thanked the fireman and the nice lady.

She opened the box and saw the doll. It had long yellow hair and a blue dress. But it had only one eye. The other eye was missing. + +Lily felt sad for the doll. She wondered why it had only one eye. She asked her mom, "Mom, why does this doll have only one eye? Did it lose it?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "This doll is special, Lily. It is a one-eyed doll. Grandma made it for you. She wanted you to have a doll that is different and unique. She wanted you to accept it and love it as it is." + +Lily looked at the doll again. She saw that it had a smile on its face. She thought that it looked happy and friendly. She decided to accept it and love it as it is. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. I like this doll. It is special. I will name it Blue. Blue is my favorite color." + +She put a fancy hat on the doll's head and a fancy necklace on its neck. She took it to her tea party and introduced it to her other dolls. She said, "This is Blue. She is my new friend. She has only one eye, but she is very pretty and kind. Please welcome her and play with her." + +The other dolls nodded and smiled. They accepted Blue and played with her. Lily was happy. She had a new friend who was different and unique. She loved her one-eyed doll. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. One day, they went to a farm where they could pick fruits and vegetables. + +Sam and Lily ran to the field where there were many red and green apples. They wanted to fill their baskets with the juicy fruits. But they saw a sign that said: "Only pick the ripe ones. Leave the green ones for later." + +Sam did not listen to the sign. He thought the green apples looked more fun. He picked many green apples and put them in his basket. Lily listened to the sign. She only picked the red apples that were ripe and sweet. She put them in her basket. + +When they went back to their mom and dad, they showed them their baskets. Mom and dad smiled at Lily and said: "You did a good job, Lily. You picked the ripe apples that are good to eat. You can have some for your snack." + +But they frowned at Sam and said: "You did not do a good job, Sam. You picked the green apples that are not ripe. They are dry and sour. You cannot eat them. You wasted the farmer's fruits." + +Sam felt sad and sorry. He looked at his basket and saw the dry and sour apples. He looked at Lily's basket and saw the juicy and sweet apples. He wished he had listened to the sign. + +He said to Lily: "I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have listened to the sign. Can I have some of your apples, please?" + +Lily felt sorry for Sam. She was a kind sister. She said: "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. You can have some of my apples. But next time, you have to listen to the sign and pick the ripe ones." + +Sam thanked Lily and hugged her. He learned his lesson. He said: "Next time, I will listen to the sign and pick the ripe ones. And I will share them with you." + +Mom and dad were happy to see Sam and Lily make up.

Anna says. + +They push their cars and watch them zoom along the track. They cheer and shout for their cars. They have fun and laugh. + +But then, something happens. One of Ben's cars hits a pillow and flies off the track. It lands on a vase on the table. The vase is delicate and breaks into pieces. The pieces fall on the floor and make a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. + +They stop their race and look at the vase. They are scared and sad. They know the vase is Mom's favorite. They broke it and made her angry. + +They look at each other and don't know what to do. They feel bad and sorry. + +They hear Mom coming. They hide behind the couch and hope she doesn't see them. + +But Mom sees the mess and the broken vase. She is not happy. She is very angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. + +Anna and Ben are quiet. They don't want to say. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks again. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They know they have to tell the truth. + +They come out from behind the couch and say together: + +"We did, Mom. We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with our cars and we broke your vase. We didn't mean to, Mom. Please don't be mad, Mom." + +Mom looks at them. She sees their faces and hears their words. She is still angry, but she is also calm. She knows they are sorry and they didn't mean to. + +She says: + +"I am glad you told me the truth. But you have to be more careful. You can't play with your cars near the vase. The vase is delicate and special. It was a gift from Grandma. You have to respect it and take care of it. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say: + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom says: + +"Okay. I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up the mess. And you have to do something nice for Grandma. Maybe you can make her a card or a picture.

We will make something nice for Grandma. We will share our cars and play nicely. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says: + +"You are welcome. I love you.

She wanted to pick one and eat it. + +"Mom, can I have a mushroom?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, you can't. Some mushrooms are bad for you. They can make you sick. You can only eat mushrooms that we buy from the store," mom said. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to try a mushroom. She saw one that looked different from the others. It was big and red and had white spots. It looked like a hat. + +"Look, Ben, this mushroom is different. It is pretty. Can I sit on it?" she asked. + +Ben was curious.

It might be dirty or wet," he said. + +Lily did not care. She wanted to sit on the mushroom. She climbed on it and sat down. She felt happy.

He felt like a fairy. + +They sat on the mushroom and played for a long time. They had fun. They did not know that the mushroom was a magic mushroom. It made them see things that were not there.

She gives Lily the lipstick. + +Lily puts some on her lips, but she also puts some on her nose, her cheeks, and her eyes. She thinks she looks original and funny. + +"Mia, look at me. I'm a clown," Lily says. She laughs and shows Mia her face. + +Mia gasps. She does not think Lily looks funny. She thinks Lily looks silly and ruined the makeup. + +"Lily, what did you do? You can't use makeup like that. You have to be neat and pretty. Mom will be mad at us," Mia says. She is angry and scared. + +Lily feels sad. She did not mean to make Mia angry. She just wanted to have fun. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I was just playing. I didn't know you wanted to be neat and pretty. I thought you liked to be original and funny. Don't you trust me?" Lily says. She hopes Mia will forgive her. + +Mia looks at Lily. She sees that Lily is sorry and sad. She remembers that Lily is her best friend. She decides to trust her. + +"I'm sorry too, Lily. I was too mean and scared. I do like to be original and funny. Sometimes. But not with mom's makeup. That's for grown-ups. Let's clean our faces and put the makeup back. Then we can play something else. OK?" Mia says. She smiles and hugs Lily. + +"OK, Mia. I'm glad you're not mad at me. You're my best friend. Let's play with the dolls.

They run on the grass. They play with the dog. They have fun. + +They forget about the flies. They forget about the kite. They are not frustrated. They are happy. +Anna and Ben wanted to decorate the chicken for dinner. They found some shiny things in a box and put them on the chicken. They made the chicken look very fancy. + +"Look, Mommy!" Anna said. "We made the chicken pretty!" + +Mommy came to the kitchen and saw the chicken. She smiled, but she also looked surprised. The chicken had ribbons, beads, and stickers on it. + +"That's a very fancy chicken, Anna and Ben," Mommy said. "But we can't eat it like that. We have to take off the shiny things and cook the chicken." + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They liked the fancy chicken. They did not want to take off the shiny things. + +"But Mommy, we worked hard to decorate the chicken," Ben said. "Can we keep it as a pet?" + +Mommy laughed. She hugged Anna and Ben and said, "No, we can't keep the chicken as a pet. But we can take a picture of it and hang it on the wall. Then we can always remember your beautiful decoration." + +Anna and Ben liked that idea. They smiled and helped Mommy take off the shiny things from the chicken. They washed their hands and got ready for dinner. They ate the chicken and it was yummy. They also looked at the picture of the fancy chicken and felt proud. +Sara liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and made pictures of her family, her friends and her toys. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up, like her uncle Ben. + +One day, uncle Ben came to visit Sara. He brought a big box with him. He said, "Sara, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see what is in the box?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She was curious and excited. Uncle Ben opened the box and took out a small easel, a small canvas, a small brush and some small tubes of paint. He said, "These are for you, Sara. You can use them to make your own paintings. I think you have a lot of talent and creativity." + +Sara hugged uncle Ben and thanked him. She was very happy and eager to try her new tools. She set up the easel and the canvas in her room and opened the tubes of paint. She squeezed some paint on a plate and dipped her brush in it. She started to paint a flower on the canvas. + +Uncle Ben watched her and said, "You are doing great, Sara. You have a good sense of color and shape. You know what? You remind me of myself when I was your age. I also loved to paint and draw with anything I could find. You have the same passion and joy for art as I do." + +Sara looked at uncle Ben and said, "Really? Do you think I can be a painter like you someday?" + +Uncle Ben smiled and said, "Of course you can, Sara. You just have to keep practicing and learning and having fun. And I will always be here to help you and support you. You are my favorite niece and my favorite painter." + +Sara smiled back and said, "Thank you, uncle Ben. You are my favorite uncle and my favorite painter too." She gave him a big hug and then continued to paint her flower. She was very happy and proud of her work. She felt like a real painter. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a shiny ornament that hung on the tree. It was red and round and sparkled in the light. They liked to take it down and roll it on the floor. + +One day, their mom said, "I have to go to the store. Be good and don't touch the ornament. It is very old and can break easily." She gave them a kiss and left. + +Jill and Tom nodded, but they did not listen. As soon as mom was gone, they ran to the tree and took the ornament. They rolled it on the floor and laughed. They did not worry about breaking it. + +But then, something bad happened. The ornament hit a chair and cracked. Jill and Tom gasped. They saw a big crack on the ornament and a small piece fell off. They felt very sad and scared. They knew mom would be angry. + +They tried to fix the ornament. They used glue and tape and paper. But it did not work. The ornament looked worse. They did not know what to do. + +Then, Tom had an idea. He was very clever. He said, "I know! Let's put the ornament back on the tree. Maybe mom won't notice the crack. And we can hide the piece under the rug." + +Jill agreed. They put the ornament back on the tree and hid the piece under the rug. They hoped mom would not see it. + +But mom did see it. She came back from the store and saw the ornament. She saw the crack and the piece under the rug. She was very angry. She said, "Jill and Tom, what did you do? You broke the ornament. You did not listen to me. You lied to me. This ornament was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She made it with love. How could you be so careless and dishonest?" + +Jill and Tom felt very sorry. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to break it. We just wanted to play with it. We were afraid to tell you. We tried to fix it. Please forgive us." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I love you, Jill and Tom. But you did a very bad thing. You disobeyed me and you broke something that was not yours. You should have respected the ornament and left it alone. You should have told me the truth and asked for help. You should have learned to be careful and honest. Now, you have to face the consequences. You have to give up your toys for a week. And you have to make a new ornament for grandma. And you have to say sorry to her." + +Jill and Tom nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry. We will do what you say. We will be careful and honest from now on. We love you, mom." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "I love you, too. I hope you learned your lesson. And I hope you will make a beautiful ornament for grandma. She will be happy to see it." + +Jill and Tom smiled. They said, "We will, mom. We will make the best ornament ever. And we will never touch the old one again." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky and heard thunder. They ran to their grandmother, who was sitting on the porch. + +"Grandma, grandma, can we stay with you?" they asked. "We are scared of the storm." + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. "Of course, my dears. You can stay with me until the storm is over. Do you know what causes thunder and lightning?" + +Anna and Ben shook their heads. They did not know. + +Grandma explained, "Thunder and lightning are made by the clouds. Sometimes, the clouds get angry and fight with each other. They make loud noises and flash bright lights. But they are not really bad. They just need to let out their feelings. After they calm down, they make rain and rainbows." + +Anna and Ben listened to grandma's words. They felt less scared and more curious. They wanted to see the clouds fight and make rainbows. + +"Can we watch the storm, grandma?" they asked. + +Grandma nodded. "Yes, but only from the window. It is not safe to go outside when there is thunder and lightning. You might get hurt." + +She led them to the window and pointed to the sky. "Look, there is a lightning. Do you see how it looks like a snake?" + +Anna and Ben gasped. They saw a bright zigzag line across the dark sky. It was very fast and very pretty. + +"Wow, that is amazing!" they said. + +Grandma smiled again. She was happy to share her knowledge and love with her grandchildren. She did not mention that she was also afraid of thunder and lightning. She did not want to scare them more. She wanted to be brave for them. She hoped that the storm would end soon and that they would see a rainbow. She knew that rainbows were a sign of hope and peace. She wished that for her family and for the world. +Lily wanted to play with her toy car. She pushed the button, but the car did not move. She pushed it again and again, but nothing happened. She looked at the car and saw a small door on the back. She opened it and saw two batteries inside. She took them out and put them back in, but the car still did not move. + +She was frustrated. She did not understand why the car did not work. She went to her mom and showed her the car and the batteries. She said, "Mom, why does the car not go? I want to play with it." + +Her mom looked at the car and the batteries. She said, "Lily, these batteries are old. They have no power left. You need new batteries to make the car go." + +Lily asked, "Where can I get new batteries, mom?" + +Her mom said, "We can go to the store and buy some. But first, you have to finish your lunch and clean your room." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to play with her car so much. She believed that new batteries would make it go. She ate her lunch quickly and cleaned her room. Then she put on her shoes and coat and went with her mom to the store. She hoped they would find new batteries soon. She could not wait to see her car zoom around. +Lila and Tom were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then, a mean boy came by. He had a big bucket of water. He threw the water at the snowman. The water was icy and it soaked the snowman. The snowman started to melt. His hat and scarf fell off. His nose and eyes fell off. He became a puddle of water with a pattern of buttons and a carrot. + +Lila and Tom were very sad. They cried and ran to their mom. The mean boy laughed and ran away. He did not care that he ruined their snowman. He was a very bad boy. Lila and Tom never played with him again. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. They also liked to help their mom and dad with the tree. The tree was big and green. It had many lights and ornaments. Ornaments were shiny things that hung on the tree. Some ornaments were round, some were stars, some were animals. + +One day, Sara and Ben found a new ornament in a box. It was a bird. The bird was red and blue and yellow. It had a hook on its head. Sara and Ben wanted to hang the bird on the tree. They asked their mom. + +"Mom, can we hang this bird on the tree?" Sara said. + +"Sure, sweeties. That bird is a special ornament. It was gifted to me by your grandma. She made it with her own hands. She was very good at making things. She loved you very much." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They loved their grandma too. She was in heaven now. They missed her. + +They took the bird to the tree. They looked for a good spot. They found one near the top. They lifted the bird and hooked it on a branch. The bird looked happy. It sparkled in the light. + +"Look, mom, we hung the bird!" Ben said. + +"Good job, kids. The bird looks beautiful. Do you know what the bird can do?" Mom said. + +"What can it do, mom?" Sara said. + +"It can sing. Watch this." Mom said. She pressed a button on the bird's back. The bird opened its mouth and sang a song. It was a sweet song. Sara and Ben clapped their hands. + +"Wow, mom, the bird can sing!" Sara said. + +"Yes, it can. Your grandma gave it a voice. She wanted you to hear her love. Every time you hear the bird sing, you can call her name and say hello. She will hear you and smile." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben hugged their mom. They loved the bird. They loved their grandma. They called her name and said hello. They heard the bird sing. They felt happy. +Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. She showed them to her mom and dad, who said they were very pretty. + +One day, Lily wanted to design something new. She saw a big bottle of water on the table. She thought it would be fun to pour some water on her paper and see what happened. She took the bottle and opened the cap. + +But the water came out too fast and too much. It spilled all over the paper, the table, and the floor. Lily was scared. She dropped the bottle and started to cry. + +"Mommy! Daddy! Help!" she shouted. + +Her mom and dad came running. They saw the mess and Lily's tears. They were not angry, but they were worried. + +"Oh, Lily, what happened?" her mom asked. + +"I wanted to design with water, but it was too hard," Lily sobbed. + +Her dad picked her up and hugged her. "It's okay, sweetie. Water is not good for designing on paper. It makes it wet and soggy. But you can design with water in other ways. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded. Her dad took her to the bathroom and filled the tub with water. He gave her some cups, spoons, and toys. He showed her how to make bubbles, splashes, and shapes with the water. + +Lily smiled. She liked to design with water in the tub. It was fun and easy. She thanked her dad and played with the water for a long time. She forgot about the mess and the tears. She was happy. +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 heard Ben counting to ten and then saying, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +Lily tried to be very quiet, but she felt a tickle on her nose. It was a leaf that the wind had blown from the tree. Lily sneezed loudly and Ben heard her. He ran towards the tree and shouted, "I found you, Lily! You have to surrender!" + +Lily came out from behind the tree and smiled. She said, "Okay, okay, you found me. You are a good seeker, Ben. But I have a question. What does surrender mean?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "Surrender means you give up and say you lose. You have to say, 'Ben, you win, I surrender.'" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Ben, you win, I surrender." Then she added, "But I have another question. What does guilty mean?" + +Ben looked surprised. He said, "Guilty means you did something bad and you feel sorry. Why do you ask?" + +Lily pointed to the tree. She said, "Because I saw you peeking at me from behind that tree before you counted to ten. You cheated, Ben. You are guilty!" + +Ben blushed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was curious and I wanted to win. I won't do it again. Please forgive me." + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, no peeking. Let's play again. This time, I'll be the seeker and you'll be the hider. And no cheating!" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's play again. And no cheating. You are a good hider, Lily. And a good friend." + +They hugged and ran to find a new spot to hide and seek. The wind blew the leaves and the sun shone on their happy faces. +Tim and Mia liked to play near the lake. The lake was wide and blue, and had many fish and ducks. Sometimes they threw bread to the ducks, and watched them eat and swim. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the lake. It was white and shiny, and had a flag and a horn. Tim and Mia wanted to see the boat up close. They ran to the edge of the lake, and looked for a way to get to the boat. + +"Look, there is a log!" Tim said, pointing to a long piece of wood that floated on the water. "We can use it to reach the boat!" + +Mia was not sure. The log looked old and wet, and the water looked deep and cold. She was afraid to fall in. "I don't know, Tim. It looks dangerous. Maybe we should wait for Mom and Dad." + +But Tim did not listen. He was too excited. He stepped on the log, and tried to balance. He reached out his hand to the boat, but it was too far. He leaned forward, and then he slipped. He fell into the water with a splash. + +Mia screamed. She saw Tim go under the water, and then come up again. He was coughing and crying. He tried to swim, but he was too scared. Mia ran to get help. She saw a man with a hat and a whistle. He was a lifeguard. She told him what happened, and he ran to the lake. He jumped in, and swam to Tim. He grabbed him, and brought him back to the shore. + +Tim was safe, but he was wet and cold and sad. The lifeguard wrapped him in a towel, and gave him a hug. He told him not to play near the lake without an adult. He said the lake was not a toy, and the boat was not for children. + +Mia hugged Tim, and said she was sorry. She said she was glad he was okay. She said they should never do that again. Tim nodded, and said he was sorry too. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would never try to reach the boat again. +Lily and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. But Lily wanted to see the rhinoceros. She liked its big horn and thick skin. She asked her mom, "Can we go see the rhinoceros, please?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we can. But we have to walk a bit more. The rhinoceros is at the other end of the zoo." + +Lily and Ben followed their mom. They walked past the birds, the snakes, and the bears. They were getting tired and thirsty. Ben said, "Mom, can we have some water and a snack?" + +Mom said, "Sure, we can. There is a bench near the rhinoceros. We can sit there and have a break." + +They finally reached the rhinoceros. It was big and gray. It was eating some grass and leaves. Lily and Ben were amazed. They said, "Wow, look at the rhinoceros!" + +But the rhinoceros was restless. It was bored and lonely. It wanted to play with someone. It saw Lily and Ben. It thought they looked fun. It ran towards them. It made a loud noise. It said, "Roar!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran behind their mom. They said, "Mom, help! The rhinoceros is coming!" + +Mom said, "Don't worry, kids. The rhinoceros is behind a fence. It can't hurt us. It just wants to say hello." + +She gave them some water and a snack. She said, "Let's sit here and watch the rhinoceros. Maybe it will calm down and be happy." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They sat on the bench. They drank some water and ate some snack. They looked at the rhinoceros. They saw that it was not so bad. It was just a big animal that wanted some friends. They smiled and waved at it. They said, "Hi, rhinoceros!" +Tom and Lily liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they saw birds and squirrels and bugs. They liked to run and jump and laugh. + +One day, they saw a big mountain far away. It was very high and had white on top. They wondered what it was like to be on the mountain. They wanted to go there and see. + +They asked their mom if they could go to the mountain. She said it was too far and too hard. She said they could only see it from here. She said they could hold hands and look at it together. + +Tom and Lily held hands and looked at the mountain. They imagined what it was like to be on the mountain. They thought it was cold and snowy and windy. They thought it was beautiful and exciting and fun. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to have each other and to see the mountain. They said they would always remember the mountain and their mom. They said they loved them very much. +Tim and Lily are twins. They like to play with their jeep. Their jeep is big and red. It can go fast and make loud noises. They pretend to drive to different places. + +One day, they drive to the zoo. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and more. They have fun and learn new things. + +But then, their jeep gets dirty. It has mud, grass and dust on it. Tim and Lily are sad. They want their jeep to be clean and shiny. + +They go to their mom and dad. They ask them to help them bathe their jeep. Mom and dad smile. They say, "Okay, but you have to bathe yourselves too. You are also dirty from playing." + +Tim and Lily agree. They are serious. They want to take good care of their jeep. They go to the garden. They get a hose, a bucket and a sponge. They spray water on their jeep. They scrub it with the sponge. They rinse it with more water. They make their jeep clean and shiny. + +Then, they go to the bathroom. They take off their clothes. They get in the tub. They wash their hair and body. They use soap and shampoo. They rinse with water. They dry themselves with towels. They put on new clothes. + +They go back to their jeep. They are happy. Their jeep is clean and shiny. They are clean and shiny too. They hug their mom and dad. They say, "Thank you for helping us bathe our jeep and ourselves. We love you." + +Mom and dad hug them back. They say, "We love you too. You are good twins. You take care of your jeep and yourselves. Now, let's go have some lunch. You must be hungry." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many spells. The book is old and dusty, but it has pictures of magic things. + +"Look, Sara, this spell can make a flower grow!" Tom says. He points to a page with a flower and some words. + +"Can we use the spell?" Sara asks. She likes flowers. She wants to see a flower grow. + +"Maybe. But we have to say the words right. And we need a seed and some dirt." Tom says. He looks around the room. He sees a pot with some dirt and a seed. He takes them and puts them on the floor. + +"OK, let's try. You say the words with me." Tom says. He opens the book and reads the words. Sara tries to read too, but some words are hard. + +They say the words together. They hope to see a flower grow. But nothing happens. The pot is still the same. + +"It didn't work. Why?" Sara says. She is sad. She wants a flower. + +"I don't know. Maybe we said the words wrong. Or maybe the spell is fake." Tom says. He is angry. He wants to see magic. + +He throws the book on the floor. The book makes a loud noise. Sara and Tom hear footsteps. They look up and see their teacher. + +"What are you doing here? And what is this book?" The teacher says. She is not happy. She picks up the book and looks at it. + +"It's a spell book. We wanted to make a flower grow. But it didn't work." Tom says. He is scared. He thinks the teacher will be mad. + +"A spell book? Where did you find this?" The teacher says. She is surprised. She knows the book is old and rare. + +"We found it in the library. It was on a shelf. We were curious." Sara says. She is sorry. She knows they should not have taken the book. + +The teacher sighs. She is not mad, but she is worried. She knows the book is not for children. She knows some spells are dangerous. + +"Listen, Sara and Tom. This book is not a toy. It is not for playful games. It is for serious study. Some spells can be harmful if you don't know how to use them. You could hurt yourself or others. You have to be careful with magic." The teacher says. She is serious. She wants to teach them a lesson. + +"We are sorry, teacher. We didn't know. We just wanted to see a flower." Sara and Tom say. They are ashamed. They know they did wrong. + +"It's OK. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will never use this book again. And you have to promise me you will always ask me before you touch anything in the library. Do you understand?" The teacher says. She is kind. She wants to help them. + +"Yes, teacher. We promise. We understand." Sara and Tom say. They are grateful. They know the teacher is good. + +The teacher smiles. She is glad. She puts the book back on the shelf. She takes Sara and Tom by the hand. She leads them to the garden. + +"Come on, let's go outside. I have something to show you. Something better than a spell. Something real." The teacher says. She is playful. She wants to make them happy. + +"What is it, teacher?" Sara and Tom ask. They are curious. They want to see. + +"You'll see. It's a surprise. A beautiful surprise. A flower." The teacher says. She is proud. She has a secret. + +She shows them a flower. A flower that she planted and watered and cared for. A flower that grew from a seed and dirt. A flower that is bright and colorful and smells nice. + +"Wow, teacher, it's amazing! It's a flower!" Sara and Tom say. They are happy. They love the flower. + +"Yes, it is. And you know what? You can make a flower too. You don't need a spell. You just need a seed and dirt and water and sun and love. And patience. And time. And then you can see a flower grow. And you can be proud of it. And you can share it with others. And you can enjoy it. And you can learn from it. And you can respect it. And you can protect it. And you can love it. That's the real magic of a flower." The teacher says. She is wise. She has a lesson. + +Sara and Tom listen to the teacher. They understand. They agree. They want to make a flower too. They ask the teacher to help them. The teacher agrees. She gives them a seed and +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. But today, the park is very cold and wet. The sky is pale and gray. The wind is strong and loud. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Sara asks. She shivers and hugs her teddy bear. "I don't like the park today. It is too cold and wet." + +"Not yet, Sara. We have to wait for the bus. The bus will take us home." Mom says. She puts her scarf around Sara's neck. "Look, there is a wide slide. Do you want to try it?" +
