I might fall and hurt myself." Sara says. She complains and pouts. + +Ben is not afraid of the slide. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He smiles and waves at Mom and Sara. "Look at me! I'm going to slide down the wide slide. Whee!" He shouts. + +He slides down the slide very fast. He laughs and enjoys the ride. But when he reaches the bottom, he splashes into a big puddle. He gets wet and muddy. He gasps and cries. + +"Mom, help! I'm wet and muddy. I don't like the slide. It is too wet and slippery. I want to go home." He says. + +Mom runs to Ben and picks him up. She wipes his face and clothes with a tissue. She hugs him and comforts him. "It's okay, Ben. You had fun on the slide. But now you are wet and muddy. We will go home soon. The bus is coming. See?" She points to the bus. + +Sara and Ben see the bus. They stop complaining and crying. They follow Mom to the bus. They get on the bus and sit on the seats. They look out the window and see the park. They say goodbye to the park. They hope the park will be sunny and dry tomorrow. They want to play in the park again. But not on the wide slide. +Lily and Max were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They were going to fly on a big plane to see Grandma and Grandpa. Lily was very excited, but Max was nervous. He had never flown on a plane before. + +"Max, why are you so quiet?" Lily asked her brother. "Don't you want to go on vacation?" + +"I do, but I'm scared of the plane," Max said. "What if it goes too fast, or too high, or makes a loud noise?" + +Lily hugged Max and said, "Don't worry, Max. The plane is safe and fun. Mom and Dad will be with us, and they will help us. And when we get to Grandma and Grandpa's house, we will have a lot of fun. We can play with their dog, and bake cookies, and read stories." + +Max smiled a little and said, "OK, Lily. I will try to be brave. But can you hold my hand when we get on the plane?" + +"Of course, Max. I will always hold your hand," Lily said. + +They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom and Dad drove them to the airport. They checked in their bags and got their tickets. They walked to the gate, where they saw the big plane. Max felt his heart beat faster. He squeezed Lily's hand. + +"Are you ready, Max?" Lily asked. + +Max nodded and said, "Yes, Lily. I'm ready. Let's go on vacation." + +They followed Mom and Dad and boarded the plane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. The plane started to move and then to change. It went faster and faster, and then it lifted off the ground. Max closed his eyes and held Lily's hand tighter. + +"It's OK, Max. We're flying," Lily said. "Look out the window. You can see the clouds and the sun." + +Max opened his eyes and looked out the window. He saw the blue sky and the white clouds. He saw the ground get smaller and smaller.

I'm not scared anymore. I like flying." + +Lily smiled and said, "I'm glad, Max. I like flying too. We're going to have a great vacation." + +They leaned back in their seats and enjoyed the ride.

They liked to see the birds, the flowers and the trees. They liked to run, jump and hide. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big truck in the forest. The truck had a loud noise and a big saw. The truck was cutting down the trees. Ben and Lily were scared and sad. + +They ran to the truck and shouted, "Stop! Stop! You are hurting the forest! The forest is good! The forest is our friend!" + +The man in the truck heard them and stopped. He looked at them and said, "Why are you here? This is my job. I have to cut down the trees. I have to increase the wood for the people." + +Ben and Lily said, "But the forest is not only for the people. The forest is for the animals, the plants and the air. The forest is good for everyone. If you cut down the trees, you will make the forest sick and small. Please, don't do it." + +The man in the truck thought for a while. He said, "You are right. The forest is good for everyone. I don't want to hurt the forest. I will find another job. I will help the forest grow and be happy." + +Ben and Lily smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you! You are good too! You are our friend!" + +They hugged the man and the truck. They waved goodbye and ran back to the forest. They played with the birds, the flowers and the trees. They had a lot of fun. +Jenny was a little girl who liked to do many things. She liked to draw, to sing, to play with her toys and to help her mom. But there was one thing she did not like to do: to go to the doctor. + +The doctor was an elderly man who wore a white coat and a stethoscope. He was kind and gentle, but he sometimes had to use a needle to give Jenny a shot. Jenny was afraid of the needle, because it hurt and made her cry. + +One day, Jenny had to go to the doctor for a check-up. She did not want to go, but her mom said it was important for her health. Jenny held her mom's hand and walked to the doctor's office. She saw the doctor smiling at her and said hello. + +"Hello, Jenny," the doctor said. "How are you today?" + +"I'm fine, thank you," Jenny said politely, but she felt nervous. + +"That's good. Now, let me listen to your heart and lungs, and then we'll be done. Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit," the doctor said, as he put his stethoscope on Jenny's chest and back. + +Jenny felt the cold metal on her skin and tried to be brave. She heard the doctor say, "Good, good, very good. You have a strong heart and clear lungs, Jenny. You are a healthy girl." + +Jenny smiled and felt relieved. She thought the doctor was done, but then she saw him take out a needle from a drawer. + +"What's that for?" Jenny asked, feeling scared. + +"This is a shot, Jenny. It's a little pinch that will protect you from getting sick. It's very important, and it will be over soon. I promise," the doctor said, as he prepared the needle. + +Jenny did not like the sound of that. She did not want a shot. She did not want a pinch. She wanted to go home. She started to cry and said, "No, no, no, please, no!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Jenny. I know you're scared, but the doctor is right. The shot will help you stay healthy and strong. It will only hurt for a second, and then it will be over. I'll be here with you. You can do it, Jenny. You're a brave girl." + +Jenny looked at her mom and saw her love and care. She looked at the doctor and saw his kindness and patience. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do it. But only if you give me a sticker and a lollipop after." + +The doctor smiled and said, "Deal. You're a smart girl, Jenny. Now, hold still and count to three. One, two, three." + +Jenny felt the needle prick her arm and winced. She felt a tear roll down her cheek, but she did not scream. She counted to three and then it was over. + +The doctor put a band-aid on her arm and said, "You did it, Jenny. You did very well. I'm proud of you. Here's your sticker and your lollipop. You can choose any color you want." + +Jenny smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor. You're a nice man. I'm sorry I cried." + +The doctor said, "You don't have to be sorry, Jenny. It's normal to cry when you're afraid or hurt. But you were very brave and strong. You did a great job." + +Jenny hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Jenny. You're my brave girl." + +Jenny felt happy and proud. She did something she did not like to do, but she did it anyway. She learned that sometimes doing things that are good for you can be hard, but they can also make you feel good.

She learned that she was a healthy, smart and brave girl. And she learned that she liked stickers and lollipops. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big cake on the table. It was for their mom's birthday. They wanted to taste it, so they climbed on a chair and took a knife. + +"Let's cut a small piece, no one will notice," Ben said. + +"Okay, but be careful," Lily said. + +But Ben was not careful. He slipped and made a big cut in the cake. The cake fell on the floor and broke into pieces. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily cried. + +"We have to repair it, quick!" Ben said. + +They tried to put the cake back together, but it looked very bad. They used some frosting and sprinkles to cover the holes, but it was still messy. They put the cake back on the table and hoped no one would see it. + +But their mom came home and saw the cake. She was very angry. + +"Who did this to my cake?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily felt guilty. They looked at each other and then at their mom. + +"We did, mom, we're sorry," they said. + +Mom sighed and hugged them. + +"I'm glad you're honest, but you shouldn't touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves or made a bigger mess. Next time, ask me first if you want some cake, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, we're sorry," they said. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to help me make a new cake for my birthday, deal?" + +"Deal, mom, we love you," they said. + +They hugged mom and helped her make a new cake. It was not as big as the first one, but it was more delicious and they all enjoyed it. They learned their lesson and never touched mom's cake again. +Tom was a large dog who liked to play and run. He lived with a family who loved him and gave him good food. Sometimes they gave him beef, which was his favorite. He could recognize the smell of beef from far away. + +One day, Tom was in the yard when he smelled something. It was beef! He followed his nose and saw a big truck. The truck had a picture of a cow on it. Tom thought that maybe there was beef inside the truck. He ran towards the truck, hoping to find some. + +But when he got closer, he heard a loud noise. It was a horn. The truck driver saw Tom and was angry. He did not want Tom to go near his truck. He shouted at Tom and honked his horn. Tom was scared and confused. He did not understand why the man was mad. He just wanted some beef. + +Tom ran away from the truck and back to his yard. He was sad and hungry. He wished he had some beef. He did not know that the truck was not carrying beef, but cows. The cows were going to a place where they would become beef. Tom did not know that, and he was lucky that he did not find out. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tom said. "He is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, he is!" Lily said. "Can we hug him?" + +Tom nodded. They ran to the snowman and wrapped their arms around him. He was very cold and hard. They did not care. They liked him. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was coming very fast. It did not see the snowman. It did not see Tom and Lily. + +"Watch out!" Lily screamed. But it was too late. + +The truck hit the snowman. It broke him into pieces. It hit Tom and Lily. It hurt them very much. + +The truck stopped. The driver got out. He saw what he had done. He was very sorry. He called for help. + +But help came too slow. Tom and Lily were too cold and too hurt. They did not wake up. They did not play anymore. They did not hug anymore. +Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Race for kids. Win a medal." Tom and Mia wanted to win a medal. They signed up for the race. + +The next day, they went to the park. They wore their new shoes. They were ready to run. But then, they saw the sky. It was dark and gray. It started to rain. Tom and Mia were sad. They did not like the rain. They wanted to go home. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was the race organizer. He said: "Don't worry, kids. The race is still on. The rain will stop soon. Come to the start line." Tom and Mia looked at each other. They decided to try. They went to the start line. + +The race began. Tom and Mia ran as fast as they could. They passed other kids. They reached the finish line. They were the first and the second. They were happy. They got their medals. They were shiny and gold. They showed them to their parents. Their parents were proud. + +The rain stopped. The sun came out. It made a rainbow. Tom and Mia smiled. They had a good day. They learned a lesson. They learned that sometimes, the rain can bring a surprise. +Lily loved to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was orange. She liked to draw suns, flowers, pumpkins and tigers with orange. She also liked to draw daddy with orange, because he had orange hair and a beard. + +One day, Lily was drawing on a big paper on the floor. She was making a picture of daddy and her in the park. She used green for the grass, blue for the sky, and orange for daddy and herself. She was very happy with her picture. + +But then, daddy came home from work. He saw Lily's picture and smiled. He bent down and gave her a hug and a kiss. "What a beautiful picture, Lily!" he said. "You are very good at drawing. I love how you used orange for us." + +Lily smiled back and hugged daddy. She was proud of her picture and her daddy. She wanted to show him more of her drawings. She got up and ran to her room, where she had a pile of papers with orange drawings. + +But when she came back, she saw something that made her very sad and angry. Her little brother, Ben, had taken her orange crayon and was scribbling on her picture. He had made big lines and dots all over daddy and her. He had ruined her picture. + +Lily screamed and ran to Ben. She grabbed the orange crayon from his hand and pushed him away. "No, no, no!" she shouted. "That's my picture! That's my orange crayon! You are bad, Ben! You quit it!" + +Ben started to cry. He did not understand why Lily was so mad. He just wanted to play with the crayon and the paper. He liked orange too. + +Daddy heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily holding the orange crayon and Ben crying on the floor. He saw the picture with the scribbles. He understood what had happened. + +He picked up Ben and hugged him. He said, "It's okay, Ben. You did not mean to hurt Lily's picture. You were just curious. But you have to ask before you use someone else's things. And you have to be careful with crayons. They can make a mess." + +He put Ben down and gave him another crayon and a new paper. He said, "Here, Ben. You can draw with this crayon and this paper. You can make your own picture. What do you want to draw?" + +Ben sniffed and wiped his tears. He looked at the crayon and the paper. He said, "I want to draw a car. A red car." + +Daddy smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Ben. A red car. You can draw a red car." + +He turned to Lily and said, "And you, Lily. I'm sorry that Ben scribbled on your picture. I know you worked hard on it. And I know you love orange. But you don't have to be so angry at Ben. He is your brother. He loves you. And you love him, right?" + +Lily nodded. She still felt sad and angry, but she also felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Yes, daddy. I love Ben. But he made my picture ugly. He took my orange crayon." + +Daddy said, "I know, Lily. But look, you still have your orange crayon. And you can make another picture. A new picture. A better picture. And you can use as much orange as you want. What do you want to draw?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at her orange crayon and her new paper. She said, "I want to draw a family. A happy family. With daddy, and me, and Ben. And we are all orange." + +Daddy smiled and said, "That's a wonderful idea, Lily. A happy family. With orange. You can draw a happy family." + +He gave her a hug and a kiss. He said, "I love you, Lily. And I love your drawings. And I love orange." + +He gave Ben a hug and a kiss. He said, "I love you, Ben. And I love your drawings. And I love red." + +He sat down with them on the floor. He said, "Let's draw together. Let's make a colorful picture. A picture of us." + +And they did. They drew together. They used orange, and red, and green, and blue, and many other colors. They made a colorful picture. A picture of a happy family. A family that loved each other. And loved to draw. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big tent with a sign that said "Circus". They wanted to see what was inside. + +They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to be quiet and gentle. They said the circus was a show where people and animals did amazing things. They said they had to be respectful and not make noise or touch anything. + +Lily and Max nodded and followed their moms to the tent. They found seats and waited for the show to start. They saw a man with a funny hat and a big smile. He said he was the ringmaster and he welcomed everyone to the circus. He said they were going to see many wonderful performers. + +Lily and Max clapped and cheered. They saw a lady who flew in the air with a rope. They saw a man who juggled balls and pins. They saw a girl who balanced on a big ball. They saw a boy who rode a bike with one wheel. They saw a dog who jumped through hoops. They saw a lion who roared and sat on a stool. + +Lily and Max were amazed by all the performers. They wanted to be like them. They whispered to each other what they would do if they were in the circus. Lily said she would fly in the air like the lady. Max said he would juggle like the man. + +They watched the show until the end. They clapped and cheered for all the performers. They thanked their moms for taking them to the circus. They said it was the best show ever. They said they wanted to come back again. Their moms smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them for being quiet and gentle. They said they loved them very much. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big dog named Rex who was very obedient. He always listened to them and did what they said. + +One day, they saw a new plant in the garden. It had green leaves and purple flowers. They smelled it and it was very nice. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a herb," Tom said. + +"A herb? What is a herb?" Lily wondered. + +"A herb is a plant that can make you healthy or tasty. Mommy uses herbs to cook sometimes," Tom explained. + +"Wow, can we use this herb too?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mommy first," Tom said. + +But Lily was too curious. She picked some of the leaves and put them in her mouth. She chewed them and made a face. + +"Yuck! This herb is not tasty at all! It is bitter and spicy!" she cried. + +She spit out the leaves and ran to the house. Tom followed her with Rex. + +"Mommy, Mommy, I ate a herb and it was bad!" Lily said. + +Mommy looked at her and saw that her mouth was red and swollen. She recognized the plant that Lily had eaten. It was not a herb, but a weed that could make people sick. + +"Oh no, Lily, you ate a bad plant! You should not eat anything from the garden without asking me first. That plant can hurt you," Mommy said. + +She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her mouth with water. She gave her some honey to soothe her throat. She hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily, you will be okay. But you have to be more careful next time." + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was silly. I won't do it again," Lily said. + +Tom and Rex came to the bathroom too. They felt sorry for Lily. + +"Can we do something to help Lily, Mommy?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can. You can pray for her. Praying is talking to God and asking him to help us. God loves us and he can make us feel better," Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. We will pray for Lily," Tom said. + +He and Rex knelt down next to Lily and closed their eyes. They prayed for Lily to get well soon. They thanked God for Mommy and the garden and the good herbs. They asked God to forgive them for their mistakes and to teach them to be obedient. + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She opened her eyes and smiled. + +"Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Rex. Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, God. I love you all," she said. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a pink doll and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun, making noises and stories with their toys. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben said, zooming his car on the floor. + +"My doll is pretty and kind, she likes to dance and sing!" Anna said, twirling her doll in the air. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"What was that?" Anna asked, feeling scared. + +"Let's go see!" Ben said, feeling curious. + +They ran to the kitchen and saw their mom standing by the stove. She looked surprised and angry. + +"What happened, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Somebody made a mess with the flour!" mom said, pointing at the white powder that covered the counter, the floor and the ceiling. + +"Who did it?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know, but I think it was the cat!" mom said, looking around. + +"Where is the cat?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, he vanished!" mom said, shaking her head. + +"Maybe he is hiding!" Anna said, looking under the table. + +"Maybe he is sorry!" Ben said, looking behind the fridge. + +They searched for the cat, but they could not find him. He was very good at hiding. They wondered if he would come back. + +"Maybe he will come back when he is hungry!" Anna said, hoping he was not mad. + +"Maybe he will come back when he is sorry!" Ben said, hoping he was not scared. + +They decided to help their mom clean the mess. They got a broom, a dustpan and a cloth. They swept the flour from the floor and the counter. They wiped the flour from the ceiling and the stove. They worked hard and fast. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben, you are very helpful!" mom said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, mom, we are sorry for the cat!" Anna and Ben said, hugging her. + +They finished cleaning and went back to the living room. They played with their toys again, but they left some food and water for the cat. They hoped he would come back soon. They missed him. He was their friend. +Anna liked to cut paper with her scissors. She cut shapes and animals and flowers. She cut a lot of paper every day. She put her cuttings in a big box under her bed. + +One Tuesday, Anna's mom asked her to help clean the house. Anna did not want to clean. She wanted to cut more paper. She said no to her mom. Her mom was angry. She said Anna had to clean or no TV for a week. + +Anna was mad. She went to her room and slammed the door. She took out her scissors and her box of cuttings. She had an idea. She cut all the cuttings into tiny pieces. She made a big mess on the floor. She thought her mom would be sorry. + +But Anna's mom was not sorry. She was very upset. She opened the door and saw the mess. She saw Anna's scissors and her box. She saw all the paper Anna had cut. She saw some of Anna's books and clothes that Anna had cut too. + +Anna's mom was sad and angry. She said Anna had to clean up the mess and throw away the scissors. She said Anna had to say sorry and no TV for a month. She said Anna had wasted a lot of paper and ruined some of her things. + +Anna felt ashamed. She knew she had done a bad thing. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had not cut so much paper. She wished she had not cut her books and clothes. She said sorry to her mom and started to clean up the mess. She hoped her mom would forgive her. She hoped she could cut paper again, but only a little bit. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is easy and fun!" Anna says. "You can go after me." + +"No, thank you. I do not like the slide. It is too high and fast. I hope you are safe." Ben says. He stays under a tree and watches Anna. + +Anna climbs up the stairs and sits on the slide. She smiles and waves at Ben. Then she slides down. But she slides too fast and bumps her head on the ground. She cries and holds her head. + +Ben hears Anna cry and runs to her. He sees a big bump on her head. He feels sorry for her and hugs her. + +"I am sorry, Anna. Are you okay?" Ben says. + +"It hurts, Ben. But I will be okay. Thank you for being my friend." Anna says. + +They go to the bench and sit down. Ben gives Anna his juice and cookie. Anna gives Ben a kiss on the cheek. They share and talk. They are happy. They hope they can play again tomorrow. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big black beetle on a leaf. It had shiny wings and long legs. + +"Wow, look at that beetle!" Tim said. "Can I touch it?" + +"Be careful, Tim," Lily said. "It might bite you or fly away." + +Tim moved his hand slowly towards the beetle. He wanted to feel its hard shell and see its wings. He was very curious. + +The beetle saw Tim's hand and felt scared. It opened its wings and made a loud buzzing sound. It flew off the leaf and landed on Tim's nose. + +"Ah, it's on me, it's on me!" Tim screamed. He waved his arms and shook his head. + +Lily laughed and helped Tim get the beetle off his nose. She held it gently in her hand and showed it to Tim. + +"See, it's just a beetle," she said. "It won't hurt you. It was just scared of you." + +Tim looked at the beetle and felt sorry. He touched it softly and said, "Sorry, beetle. I didn't mean to scare you. You are very pretty." + +The beetle wiggled its legs and blinked its eyes. It seemed to say, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. You are very brave." + +Tim and Lily smiled and let the beetle go. They watched it fly away and then went to look for more bugs and flowers. They had fun in the garden. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many clothes and hats and shoes for them. She liked to make them look pretty and different. She liked to change their style every day. + +One day, she wanted to play with her friend Anna. She asked her mom if she could go to Anna's house. Her mom said yes, but she had to be back before dinner. Lily was happy and ran to get her dolls. + +She knocked on Anna's door and Anna opened it. She smiled and invited Lily in. They went to Anna's room, where Anna had her own dolls. They decided to play a game. They would swap their dolls and dress them up in new styles. + +Lily gave Anna her doll with the long yellow hair and the pink dress. Anna gave Lily her doll with the curly brown hair and the blue overalls. They looked at each other's dolls and started to choose clothes and accessories for them. + +Lily found a green hat and a purple scarf for Anna's doll. She thought they looked nice and fun. She put them on the doll and showed Anna. Anna frowned and shook her head. + +"No, no, no," she said. "That is not a good style. That is ugly. You have to use these clothes." She pointed to a pile of clothes that matched the blue overalls. + +Lily felt sad and confused. She liked the green hat and the purple scarf. She thought they were pretty and different. She did not like the clothes that Anna wanted her to use. She thought they were boring and the same. + +"Why?" she asked Anna. "Why can't I use these clothes? It is my doll now. You gave it to me. I can dress it how I want." + +Anna crossed her arms and pouted. "No, you can't. It is still my doll. You only borrowed it. You have to do what I say. I don't permit you to use those clothes. They are bad." + +Lily felt angry and hurt. She did not like how Anna talked to her. She did not like how Anna did not let her have fun. She did not want to play with Anna anymore. She wanted to go home. + +She took off the green hat and the purple scarf from the doll and gave it back to Anna. She took her own doll from Anna and put back the pink dress. She did not say anything. She just turned around and walked to the door. + +Anna looked surprised and sad. She did not understand why Lily was leaving. She wanted to play more. She wanted to be friends. She called after Lily. + +"Lily, wait! Where are you going? Don't you want to play with me?" + +Lily did not answer. She did not look back. She opened the door and ran out. She ran all the way to her house. She did not want to see Anna again. She did not want to play with her dolls. She wanted to hug her mom and tell her what happened. + +She reached her house and opened the door. She saw her mom in the kitchen. She ran to her and hugged her. She started to cry. + +"Mom, mom," she said. "Anna was mean to me. She did not let me play with her dolls. She did not like my style. She did not permit me to have fun. She was a bad friend." + +Her mom hugged her back and kissed her head. She felt sorry for Lily. She knew how it felt to have a bad friend. She also knew how it felt to have a good friend. She wanted Lily to have good friends. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry," she said. "Anna was not nice to you. She should have let you play with her dolls. She should have liked your style. She should have permitted you to have fun. She was not a good friend." + +She wiped Lily's tears and smiled at her. She had an idea. She wanted to make Lily happy. She wanted to show her that she had a good friend. + +"Hey, Lily, do you know who is a good friend?" she asked. + +Lily sniffed and looked at her mom. She shook her head. + +"Who?" she asked. + +Her mom pointed to the window. Lily followed her finger and saw a car parked outside. She saw a girl getting out of the car. She saw a girl with short red hair and a yellow coat. She saw a girl with a big smile and a doll in her hand. She saw a girl who was her friend. + +She saw Molly. + +"Molly!" she exclaimed. "Molly is here! Molly is a good friend!" + +She let go of her mom and ran to the window. She waved at Molly and shouted. + +"Molly, Molly, come in! Come play with me! Come see my dolls! I like your style! I permit you to have fun! You are +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to go to the park with their mom. They loved to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Sometimes they saw other kids and made new friends. + +One day, mom said they were going to a new park in another town. Ben and Lily were anxious. They did not know the new park or the new town. What if they did not like it? What if there were no swings or slides or sand? What if there were no other kids or mean kids? + +Mom packed some snacks and drinks for the trip. She gave Ben and Lily a banana each and told them to chew well. Ben and Lily liked bananas, but they did not feel very hungry. They looked out the window and saw the houses and trees change. They saw signs with names they could not read. + +After a while, mom said they were almost there. She pointed to a big green space with colorful things. Ben and Lily perked up. They saw swings and slides and sand and more. They saw other kids running and laughing and playing. They saw a big fountain with water and ducks. They saw a merry-go-round with horses and cars and planes. + +"Wow, mom, this park is awesome!" Ben said. + +"Yeah, mom, can we play here?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my loves, this is why we came here. Come on, let's go have some fun!" mom said. + +Ben and Lily smiled and jumped out of the car. They forgot their anxiety and ran to the park. They chewed their bananas and threw the peels in the trash. They tried everything they saw and made new friends. They had a great time in the new park in the new town. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to zoom them on the grass and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Look, Lily, I can zoom faster than you!" Ben said, pushing his car hard. + +"No, you can't, Ben, I can zoom faster than you!" Lily said, pushing her car harder. + +They zoomed and zoomed until they reached the fence. There was a big bunch of grapes hanging from the vine on the other side. They looked juicy and sweet. + +"Wow, grapes!" Lily said, dropping her car. "I want some!" + +"Me too!" Ben said, dropping his car. "Let's get some!" + +They climbed over the fence and picked some grapes. They ate them and smiled. They were yummy. + +But then they heard a voice. + +"Hey, who are you? What are you doing with my grapes?" It was Mr. Green, the owner of the vineyard. He looked angry. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the grapes and ran back to the fence. + +"Sorry, Mr. Green, sorry!" Lily said. + +"Sorry, Mr. Green, sorry!" Ben said. + +They climbed over the fence and grabbed their cars. They zoomed away as fast as they could. + +They did not eat any more grapes that day. They learned not to take things that were not theirs. They said sorry to Mr. Green and promised to be good. +Lily and Ben wanted to see the clown at the park. They asked their mom to take them there. Mom said yes, but they had to do their chores first. Lily and Ben did not like chores, but they wanted to see the clown very much. + +They cleaned their room, helped with the dishes, and fed the cat. Then they put on their coats and shoes and went to the park with mom. They saw the clown making balloons and telling jokes. He was very funny and made them laugh. + +The clown asked if they wanted a balloon. Lily and Ben said yes, please. The clown made them a balloon dog and a balloon flower. He said they were very pretty and smart. He asked them to pay him with a hug. Lily and Ben hugged the clown and thanked him. + +Mom smiled and said they were very good children. She said they learned a lesson today. She said that if they work hard and do their chores, they can have fun and enjoy rewards. She also said that the clown was very dependable. He did not ask for money, but for love. He was kind and generous. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They said they liked the clown and his balloons. They said they would always do their chores and be dependable too. They hugged mom and the clown again and went home happy. +Tom and Sue like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with big pedals and shiny bells. They wear helmets and gloves to be safe. They love to go fast and make noise. + +One day, they see a big puddle on the road. It is brown and muddy and looks like fun. Tom says, "Let's go through the puddle and make a splash!" Sue says, "No, Tom, that's a bad idea. We will get dirty and wet and our bikes will be ruined." Tom says, "Don't be a baby, Sue. It's just water. Come on, follow me!" + +Tom pedals hard and goes into the puddle. He makes a big splash and laughs. He feels the water soak his clothes and shoes. He thinks it is cool and fun. He looks back and sees Sue behind him. She is scared and angry. She pedals slowly and tries to avoid the puddle. But it is too late. The puddle is too big and deep. She gets stuck in the mud and falls off her bike. She cries and screams. + +Tom hears Sue and stops. He turns around and sees her on the ground. She is dirty and wet and hurt. Her bike is broken and muddy. He feels bad and sorry. He says, "Sue, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall. Please don't cry." + +But Sue doesn't listen. She is too sad and mad. She says, "Go away, Tom. You are a mean and stupid boy. You ruined my bike and my clothes and my day. I don't want to be your friend anymore. Leave me alone!" + +Tom is shocked and sad. He tries to help Sue and fix her bike. But she pushes him away and runs to her mom. She tells her mom what happened and how Tom made her fall. Her mom is angry and scolds Tom. She says, "Tom, you are a naughty and careless boy. You should have listened to Sue and stayed away from the puddle. You hurt your friend and damaged your bikes. You are in big trouble. Go home and tell your mom what you did." + +Tom feels ashamed and scared. He gets on his bike and rides away. He cries and wishes he never went into the puddle. He wishes he could say sorry to Sue and make her happy again. He wishes he could be her friend again. But he knows it is too late. He knows he made a big mistake. He knows he will never forget this day. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books on the floor. Lily likes to draw and color. She has a folder with her drawings. She shows them to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, this is my family. And this is my dog. And this is a flower. Do you like them?" Lily asks. + +Ben nods. He likes Lily's drawings. He wants to draw too. He picks up a crayon and a paper. He starts to draw a car. He likes cars. He makes the car red and blue. + +"Look, Lily, this is my car. It is fast and loud. Do you like it?" Ben asks. + +Lily nods. She likes Ben's car. She wants to put it in her folder. She thinks Ben is a good friend. She reaches for the paper. + +But Ben does not want to give it to her. He wants to keep it. He pushes Lily's hand away. He says, "No, Lily, this is my car. You can't have it. It is mine." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben's push. She does not like Ben's words. She says, "Ben, that is not nice. You are mean. You can't push me. You have to share. Sharing is good." + +Ben feels sorry. He does not want to make Lily sad and angry. He does not want to be mean. He likes Lily. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. Sharing is good. You can have my car. You can put it in your folder. I am proud of you. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiles. She feels happy and glad. She likes Ben's words. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I am proud of you too. You are a good friend. You can see my drawings. We can draw more together." + +They hug. They put the car and the drawings in the folder. They play more. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were curious kids. They liked to explore new things and ask many questions. One day, they went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. + +They were very excited when they reached the gorilla house. They wanted to see the big and hairy gorillas up close. They pressed their noses against the glass and watched the gorillas play, eat, and sleep. + +"Look, mom, that gorilla has a baby!" Lily said, pointing at a mother gorilla holding a tiny gorilla in her arms. + +"Yes, she does. Isn't it cute?" mom said, smiling. + +"Can we touch them?" Tom asked, reaching his hand towards the glass. + +"No, honey, we can't. The glass is there to keep us and the gorillas safe. They are wild animals, and they might get scared or angry if we touch them," dad said, holding Tom's hand. + +"But they look so soft and cuddly," Tom said, pouting. + +"Maybe they do, but they are also very strong and powerful. They can hurt us if they want to," dad said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a fire alarm. Smoke was coming from the other side of the zoo. The zookeepers told everyone to leave the gorilla house and go to the exit. + +"What's happening, dad?" Lily asked, scared. + +"There's a fire somewhere in the zoo. We have to get out of here, quickly," dad said, picking up Lily and holding mom's hand. + +"What about the gorillas?" Tom asked, looking back at the glass. + +"Don't worry, the zookeepers will take care of them. They have a special door that leads to a safe place for the gorillas. They will be fine," mom said, reassuring Tom. + +They followed the crowd and left the gorilla house. They saw fire trucks and firefighters outside the zoo. They heard sirens and hoses. They smelled smoke and ash. + +They were glad they were safe, but they also felt sorry for the animals and the zoo. They hoped the fire would not burn the gorilla house or hurt the gorillas. They hoped they could come back to the zoo someday and see the gorillas again. They were curious kids, and they loved the gorillas. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they are naughty. They do not listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom and Dad go to the store. They tell Sara and Ben to stay at home and be good. They say they will be back soon. + +Sara and Ben say yes, but they have a plan. They want to have fun. They go to the kitchen. They see a big bottle. It has gas in it. Gas makes bubbles. Sara and Ben like bubbles. + +They open the bottle. They pour some gas on the floor. They blow on it. They make a lot of bubbles. They laugh and clap. They think they are clever. + +But they do not see the cat. The cat is curious. The cat sees the bubbles. The cat wants to catch them. The cat jumps on the floor. The cat pops the bubbles. The gas makes a loud noise. The cat is scared. The cat runs away. + +Sara and Ben hear the noise. They are scared too. They see the cat. They see the mess. They know they are in trouble. + +They hear Mom and Dad. They are back. They come to the kitchen. They see Sara and Ben. They see the bottle. They see the gas. They see the bubbles. They are angry. + +"Sara and Ben, what did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We wanted to display bubbles," Sara says. + +"We were just playing," Ben says. + +"You were very naughty," Dad says. "You could have hurt yourself or the cat. You wasted the gas. You made a mess. You did not obey us." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They say sorry to the cat. They help to clean the kitchen. They promise to be good. They learn their lesson. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna likes to keep her toys organized in different boxes. Ben likes to mix his toys and make a big mess. Anna gets angry when Ben takes her toys and puts them in his pile. + +"Ben, stop it! Those are my toys! You have your own toys!" Anna shouts at Ben. + +"No, I want these toys! They are fun! You have too many toys!" Ben shouts back at Anna. + +They start to pull and tug at the toys, making more noise and mess. Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the toys all over the floor and the children fighting. + +"Anna and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over toys? You have to share and be nice to each other!" Mom says. + +"But Mom, Ben took my toys and he made a mess! He doesn't respect my toys!" Anna says. + +"But Mom, Anna has too many toys and she doesn't let me play with them! She is mean to me!" Ben says. + +Mom sighs and says, "Listen, children, I know you both love your toys, but you have to learn to play together and respect each other's things. You can't just take or break someone else's toys. And you can't just keep all your toys to yourself. You have to share and be kind. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Anna and Ben think for a moment. They realize that they would not like it if someone took or broke their toys. They also realize that they would like to play with each other's toys sometimes. They feel sorry for making Mom upset and for hurting each other's feelings. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We were not nice to each other. We will share and be kind. We will clean up the mess. Right, Ben?" Anna says. + +"Right, Anna. We are sorry, Mom. We will play together and respect each other's toys. We will help you organize the toys. Right, Anna?" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good, children. I'm glad you learned your lesson. I love you both. Now, let's clean up and organize the toys. And don't forget to thank each other for sharing and being kind." + +Anna and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching us. Thank you for keeping us safe." + +They start to clean up and organize the toys. They also thank each other for sharing and being kind. They play together and have fun. Mom is happy and proud of them. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. One day, she saw a man playing a violin on the street. She stopped and listened to the beautiful music. She wanted to know more about the violin. + +She walked up to the man and said, "Hello, what is that?" + +The man smiled and said, "This is a violin. It is a thing that makes music when you move a stick on the strings." + +Lily was amazed. She asked, "Can I try it?" + +The man nodded and said, "Sure, but be careful. It is very delicate." + +He handed her the violin and the stick. Lily held them gently and tried to copy what the man did. But she only made a loud and squeaky noise. She frowned and said, "It is hard." + +The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, it takes a lot of practice to play the violin well. But you have a good ear and a curious mind. Maybe you can learn someday." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you for letting me try. I like the violin. It is a nice thing." + +She gave the violin and the stick back to the man. He said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Maybe I'll see you again." + +Lily waved and said, "Bye, violin man. Have a good day." + +She ran back to her mom, who was waiting for her. She told her mom all about the violin and the man. Her mom said, "That sounds like a fun adventure. You are a curious girl, Lily. I'm proud of you." +Lily and Max were very excited. Today was their mom's birthday and they wanted to make her happy. They decided to decorate the kitchen with paper and crayons. They drew flowers, hearts, stars and balloons. They also wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" in big letters. + +They asked their dad to help them bake a cake. They mixed flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake and then took it out. It smelled yummy. They let it cool down and then put some frosting and sprinkles on top. They also added some candles. + +They hid the cake under a cloth and waited for their mom to come home. When they heard the door open, they ran to the kitchen and shouted "Surprise!" Their mom was very surprised and happy. She hugged them and thanked them for the beautiful decoration and the delicious cake. She said it was the best treat ever. + +She asked them to help her blow out the candles. They counted to three and blew hard. But something unusual happened. The candles did not go out. They kept burning and sparkling. Lily and Max were confused. They tried to blow again, but the candles still did not go out. They looked at their dad, who was smiling and holding a box. + +He said, "These are special candles. They are magic. They do not go out until you make a wish. I bought them for your mom, because she is also special and magic. Do you want to help her make a wish?" Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They thought it was a fun and cool idea. They held their mom's hands and closed their eyes. They made a wish together. They wished for their mom to be happy and healthy and to have a wonderful birthday. Then they opened their eyes and blew one more time. The candles finally went out. They all clapped and cheered. They cut the cake and shared it. They had a great time. They were a happy family. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to a party. There is music and cake and balloons. Sara and Ben are happy. + +Sara likes to dance. She hears a song she knows. She says to Ben, "Do you want to dance with me?" Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. Dancing is boring. I want to play with the cars." + +Sara is sad. She likes Ben, but she likes dancing too. She says, "Please, Ben. Dancing is fun. You can try it. I will show you how." Ben says, "No, Sara. Dancing is silly. You look like a chicken. I want to play with the cars." + +Sara is angry. She says, "Fine, Ben. You are boring. You are not my friend. I will dance by myself." She walks away from Ben. She finds a new friend who likes to dance. They dance and laugh and have fun. + +Ben is lonely. He plays with the cars, but he misses Sara. He sees Sara dancing with her new friend. He feels sorry. He says to himself, "Maybe dancing is not so bad. Maybe I can try it. Maybe Sara will be my friend again." + +He gets up and walks to Sara. He says, "Sara, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can I dance with you?" Sara smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. You can dance with me. I am glad you are my friend again." They hug and dance and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and stories with their cars, dolls and animals. But after a while, they got bored and wanted to do something else. + +"Can we go outside and see the snow?" Lily asked Max. + +Max nodded. He liked the snow. It was white and cold and soft. He put on his coat, hat, gloves and boots. Lily did the same. They ran to the door and opened it. + +Outside, everything was covered with snow. It looked like a big blanket. Lily and Max smiled and jumped into the snow. They made snowballs and threw them at each other. They made snow angels and snowmen. They laughed and shouted. + +But then, they saw something strange. On the other side of the yard, there was a big figure made of snow. It had a round head, a long nose, two eyes, a mouth and a hat. It also had a stick in one hand and a scarf around its neck. + +"What is that?" Lily questioned Max. + +Max shrugged. He didn't know. He had never seen anything like that before. + +"Let's go and see," Lily said. She was curious. She wanted to touch the figure and see what it was. + +Max followed her. He was a little scared. He didn't know if the figure was friendly or not. + +They walked slowly towards the figure. They got closer and closer. They reached out their hands to touch it. + +But then, the figure moved. It turned its head and looked at them. It smiled and said, "Hello, children. I'm Frosty the Snowman. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Max gasped. They couldn't believe it. The figure was alive. It could talk. It was a snowman. + +They were so surprised that they didn't know what to say. They just stared at the snowman with wide eyes. + +The snowman laughed. He said, "Don't be afraid. I'm very friendly. I like to play and sing and dance. Come on, join me. We'll have a lot of fun." + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. They were curious, but they were also tired. They had played a lot in the snow. They felt cold and hungry. + +They decided to go back inside. They said, "Thank you, Mr. Snowman, but we have to go now. Maybe we'll play with you another day." + +The snowman nodded. He said, "Okay, children. I understand. You must be tired. Go and rest. But don't forget me. I'll be waiting for you. Goodbye for now." + +Lily and Max waved at the snowman. They ran back to the door and opened it. They went inside and closed it. + +They took off their coats, hats, gloves and boots. They went to the kitchen and asked their mom for some hot chocolate and cookies. They told her about the snowman. She smiled and listened to their story. + +They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They felt warm and happy. They went to the couch and cuddled with their mom. They watched some cartoons on TV. They soon fell asleep. + +They dreamed of the snowman. They wondered if he was still there. They hoped to see him again. They liked him. He was funny and nice. He was their new friend. +Jen and Sam were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Jen had an idea. She said to Sam, "Let's go to the park. We can slide and swing and run." + +Sam said, "Yes, that sounds fun. But we need to ask mom first. She may not permit us to go." + +Jen said, "No, we don't need to ask. Mom is busy. She will not see us. Come on, let's go." + +Sam was scared, but he followed Jen. They took their dolls and cars and ran to the park. They had fun for a while. They slid and swung and ran. They laughed and talked. + +But then, a big dog came. The dog was not soft. The dog was angry. The dog barked and growled. The dog chased Jen and Sam. They dropped their dolls and cars and ran away. They cried and screamed. + +Mom heard them. She ran to the park. She saw the dog. She saw the dolls and cars. She was very mad. She grabbed Jen and Sam and took them home. She said, "You are very naughty. You did not ask me to go to the park. You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt by the dog. You lost your dolls and cars. You are in big trouble. Go to your room. No more play for you today." + +Jen and Sam were very sad. They wished they had not gone to the park. They wished they had asked mom first. They wished they had a better idea. +Lily and Max were eager to go to the park with their poppy. Poppy was their grandpa, and he always had fun stories and games for them. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the car. + +"Poppy, poppy, can we go on the swings?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my sweetie. And maybe we can feed the ducks too," Poppy said. + +Max nodded. He liked the ducks. They made funny noises and ate the bread he threw to them. He hoped there would be many ducks today. + +They got to the park and Poppy parked the car. He helped Lily and Max out and held their hands. They crossed the road and walked to the playground. There were other kids there, playing and laughing. + +Lily and Max ran to the swings and climbed on. Poppy pushed them gently and they squealed with joy. They felt like they were flying in the air. + +"Higher, higher, Poppy!" Max yelled. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily yelled. + +Poppy smiled and pushed them higher. He loved seeing them happy. He looked around and saw a bench nearby. He decided to sit there for a while and watch them. + +He walked to the bench and sat down. He took out his newspaper and glasses and started to read. He could still hear Lily and Max on the swings. + +But then he heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big bang. He looked up and saw smoke and fire. It came from the car park. He saw his car on fire. He was shocked and scared. + +"Poppy, poppy, what's that?" Lily yelled. + +"Poppy, poppy, are you okay?" Max yelled. + +Poppy dropped his newspaper and glasses and ran to the swings. He grabbed Lily and Max and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, my darlings. I'm okay. You're okay. We're okay," he said. + +He looked at the car park again and saw people running and shouting. He saw sirens and lights. He saw firemen and policemen. He saw his car burning. + +He felt sad and angry. He didn't know what happened. He didn't know who did it. He didn't know why. + +But he knew he had to keep Lily and Max safe. He knew he had to take them home. He knew he had to call their mommy and daddy. + +He held their hands and walked away from the playground. He tried to calm them down. He tried to calm himself down. + +He hoped they would find another poppy soon. He hoped they would go to the park again. He hoped they would forget the bad noise and the bad fire. + +He hoped they would remember the good swings and the good ducks. + +He hoped they would always be eager to go to the park with their poppy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big barrel. It is blue and round. They roll it to the grass. + +"Let's play with the barrel!" Tim says. "We can twist it and make it spin!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "You go first!" + +Tim climbs on the barrel. He holds on tight. Sam pushes the barrel. It starts to twist and spin. Tim laughs and screams. He feels crazy. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tim says. "But I'm dizzy!" + +Sam stops the barrel. Tim gets off. He falls on the grass. He feels sick. + +"Are you OK?" Sam asks. + +"I don't feel good," Tim says. "I think I twisted too much." + +Sam helps Tim up. He gives him some water. He hugs him. + +"Sorry, Tim," Sam says. "Maybe we should play something else." + +"OK," Tim says. "But the barrel was fun!" + +They leave the barrel. They go to the swing. They swing and smile. They are happy. +Ben likes to swim in the pool. The pool is big and blue and cool. Ben wears his swim hat and his swim suit. He jumps in the pool and makes a big splash. + +Mom watches Ben from the side. She smiles and claps. She says, "Good job, Ben! You are a great swimmer!" Ben swims to Mom and gives her a hug. He says, "Thank you, Mom! I love you!" + +Mom says, "Do you want to play a game?" Ben says, "Yes, please!" Mom says, "OK, let's play lift. I will lift you up and down in the water. You have to count how many times I lift you. Ready?" Ben says, "Ready!" + +Mom holds Ben under his arms and lifts him up and down in the water. Ben laughs and counts, "One, two, three, four, five!"

One day, they saw a fairy hiding behind a rose bush. The fairy was crying. + +"Hello, fairy. Why are you sad?" Sara asked. + +"I lost my magic wand. I can't fly or do magic without it. A mean crow took it and flew away. Can you help me find it?" the fairy said. + +Sara and Ben wanted to help the fairy. They looked around the garden, but they could not see the crow or the wand. They asked their mom if they could go to the park, where they thought the crow might be. + +"OK, but be careful and come back soon," their mom said. + +Sara and Ben ran to the park. They saw many birds, but no crow. They asked a friendly duck if he had seen the crow. + +"Yes, I saw him. He was sitting on a big tree, holding a shiny stick. He was very proud and noisy," the duck said. + +"Thank you, duck. You are very generous," Sara said. + +Sara and Ben ran to the big tree. They saw the crow on a high branch, with the wand in his beak. He was cawing and laughing. + +"Hey, crow. Give back the wand. It belongs to the fairy. She needs it to do magic," Ben shouted. + +The crow ignored him. He waved the wand and made a loud noise. He thought he was very clever. + +Sara and Ben did not give up. They found some stones and threw them at the crow. They missed at first, but then Sara hit the crow's wing. The crow dropped the wand and flew away, screeching. + +"Yay, we did it! We got the wand!" Ben cheered. + +They picked up the wand and ran back to the garden. They gave the wand to the fairy, who was very happy. + +"Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very brave and kind. You helped me a lot. Here, take this as a gift. It is a magic flower. It will make you smile whenever you look at it," the fairy said. + +She gave them a beautiful flower that sparkled in the sun. She kissed them on the cheek and flew away. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They had made a new friend and had a magic flower. They went to their mom and showed her their gift. + +"What a lovely flower. And what a wonderful story. You are very generous, too. You shared your magic with the fairy," their mom said. + +Sara and Ben hugged their mom. They were very happy. They put the flower in a vase and looked at it. It made them smile. +Ben likes math. He likes to count and add and take away. He has a math book with many fun problems. He likes to show his math book to his friends at school. + +One day, Ben brings his math book to school. He sees Lily and Sam playing with blocks. He goes to them and says, "Look at my math book. It has many hard problems. I can do them all. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Sam look at Ben's math book. They see many numbers and signs and shapes. They do not understand them. They say, "No, thank you. We like to play with blocks. They are fun and easy. We can make towers and bridges and houses." + +Ben feels sad. He thinks his math book is better than blocks. He thinks his friends are silly. He says, "You are wrong. Math is fun and easy too. I can show you. Watch me." + +Ben opens his math book and finds a problem. He reads it out loud. "How many times can you jump in one minute?" He says, "That is easy. I can jump many times. I can jump more than you. Let me show you." + +Ben puts his math book on the ground. He starts to jump. He jumps fast and high. He counts his jumps. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." + +Lily and Sam watch Ben jump. They think he is funny. They laugh. They say, "Ben, you are not doing math. You are just jumping. Jumping is not math. Jumping is jumping. Anyone can jump. We can jump too. Let us show you." + +Lily and Sam put their blocks on the ground. They start to jump. They jump slow and low. They count their jumps. "One, two, three, four, five..." + +Ben stops jumping. He looks at Lily and Sam. He sees that they are having fun. He sees that they are jumping too. He thinks, "Maybe they are right. Maybe jumping is not math. Maybe jumping is jumping. Maybe jumping is fun and easy too. Maybe I can play with them." + +Ben smiles. He says, "You are right. Jumping is not math. Jumping is jumping. Jumping is fun and easy too. I like to jump. I like to play with you. Can I play with you?" + +Lily and Sam smile. They say, "Yes, you can. You are our friend. We like to play with you. You can play with blocks too. They are fun and easy too. You can make towers and bridges and houses too." + +Ben is happy. He picks up his math book. He puts it in his backpack. He says, "Thank you. I like to play with blocks too. They are fun and easy too. I can make towers and bridges and houses too. But I also like math. Math is fun and easy too. I can do many hard problems. I can show you later. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we do. We want to see. We want to learn math too. You can teach us later. You are good at math. You are modest too. You are a good friend." + +Ben, Lily and Sam hug. They play with blocks and jump and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. They like math and jumping and blocks. They are fun and easy too. +Tom and Sue were happy. They liked to play outside with their bikes. They knew they had to stay on the road and not go near the big cars. Mom and Dad told them to be careful and look both ways. + +One day, they saw a big red ball on the other side of the road. It looked fun and shiny. Tom wanted to get it. He said to Sue, "Let's go get the ball. It will be fun to play with." + +Sue said, "No, Tom. We have to remain on the road. The big cars are fast and loud. They might hurt us. Mom and Dad said so." + +Tom said, "But the ball is so pretty. I want it. You can have it too. Come on, Sue. It will be quick." + +Sue said, "No, Tom. I don't want the ball. I want to be safe. I want to be happy. Please, Tom, remain on the road with me." + +Tom did not listen to Sue. He ran across the road to get the ball. He did not look both ways. He did not see the big car coming. He did not hear the horn. He did not feel the bump. + +Sue saw everything. She screamed and cried. She ran to Tom. He was not moving. He was not happy. He was not Tom. + +Mom and Dad came. They saw Tom. They saw the ball. They saw the big car. They saw Sue. They hugged Sue. They cried too. + +They wished Tom had remained on the road. They wished Tom had listened to Sue. They wished Tom had been happy. They wished Tom had been Tom. +One day, a dog and a cat were playing in the park. They saw a big ball and ran to get it. But the ball was on a chain and the chain was on a fence. The dog and the cat tried to pull the ball, but the chain was too strong. + +"Let me try," said the dog. He bit the chain and pulled hard. But the chain did not break. It only hurt his teeth. + +"Let me try," said the cat. She scratched the chain and pulled hard. But the chain did not break. It only hurt her claws. + +They both felt sad and tired. They wanted the ball so much. + +Then they heard a voice. "Do you need help?" It was a bird. The bird was flying over the park. He saw the dog and the cat and the ball and the chain. + +"Yes, please," said the dog and the cat. "We want the ball, but the chain is too strong." + +"I can help you," said the bird. He flew to the fence and looked for a way to open the chain. He found a hook and a ring. He used his beak to unhook the ring. The chain fell off the fence. The ball was free. + +"Here you go," said the bird. He pushed the ball to the dog and the cat. They were so happy. They thanked the bird and played with the ball. + +The bird smiled and flew away. He felt good. He was helpful. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes you need help from others to solve a problem. It is good to ask for help and to help others. +Anna was very brave. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. The doctor said he would fix her heart so she could run and play like other kids. Anna was scared, but she hugged her mom and dad and said she loved them. + +The nurse gave Anna a mask to wear. She said it would make her sleep and not feel any pain. Anna breathed in the mask and closed her eyes. She dreamed of her favorite toys and her dog, Spot. + +When Anna woke up, she was in a bed with wires and tubes. She felt sore and tired, but she saw her mom and dad smiling at her. They said the operation was perfect and her heart was better. Anna smiled back and said she was happy. + +The doctor came and checked on Anna. He said she did very well and she could go home soon. He said she had to remain in the hospital for a few more days to rest and heal. He said she could have some ice cream and watch cartoons. Anna said thank you and asked for chocolate. + +Anna was very brave. She had an operation and now her heart was perfect. She was glad she had her mom and dad and Spot to love her. She was excited to go home and play with her friends. She was happy. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they found a big red wagon in the park. It had four wheels and a long rope. Tim said, "Let's pull the wagon and go fast!" + +Sam nodded and said, "OK, but we have to be careful. The park is big and there are many people and dogs." They took turns pulling the wagon and sitting in it. They had a lot of fun and felt the speed of the wind. + +But then, they saw a big hill. Tim said, "Let's go down the hill and see how fast we can go!" Sam said, "No, that's too dangerous. We might fall or hit something." Tim said, "Don't be scared. It will be fun. Come on, get in the wagon. I'll pull you." + +Sam was not sure, but he wanted to be a good friend. He was obedient and got in the wagon. Tim pulled the rope and ran to the top of the hill. He said, "Are you ready?" Sam said, "Yes, but be careful." Tim said, "Don't worry. Here we go!" + +Tim let go of the rope and the wagon started to roll down the hill. It went faster and faster. Sam felt scared and screamed, "Tim, stop! Stop!" But Tim could not hear him. He could not catch the wagon. The wagon was out of control. + +The wagon zoomed past the people and the dogs. They shouted and jumped out of the way. The wagon hit a rock and bounced in the air. Sam flew out of the wagon and landed on the ground. He felt a lot of pain. He cried and cried. + +Tim ran to Sam and said, "Sam, are you OK? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." But Sam did not answer. He was not OK. He was hurt very bad. He had to go to the hospital. He had a broken arm and a broken leg. He was very sad and angry. He did not want to be friends with Tim anymore. He wished he had not been obedient. He wished he had said no. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked like a snake. Lily wanted to go on it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. "You just sit and slide down." + +"No, no, no!" Ben said. "It's too big and scary. It might bite me." + +Lily rolled her eyes. She knew the slide was not real, but she did not want to make Ben feel bad. She had an idea. + +"Look, Ben, it's not a snake. It's a rainbow. See, it has many colors on its skin. And it's smiling. It wants to be our friend." + +Ben looked at the slide. He saw the colors and the smile. He felt a little better, but he still did not want to go on it. + +"Maybe, maybe," he said. "But you go first." + +Lily nodded. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She sat on the top and waved at Ben. + +"See, Ben, it's easy. Just resist your fear and try it. You'll like it, I promise." + +She slid down the slide, laughing and shouting. She landed on the soft grass and looked up at Ben. + +"Your turn, Ben. Come on, you can do it." + +Ben saw Lily having fun. He wanted to have fun too. He took a deep breath and walked to the slide. He climbed up the ladder, slowly and carefully. He reached the top and looked down. The slide was enormous. He felt his heart beating fast. + +He remembered what Lily said. Resist your fear. Try it. You'll like it. + +He closed his eyes and slid down the slide. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his skin. He opened his eyes and saw the colors and the smile. He felt a thrill in his stomach and a smile on his face. + +He landed on the grass next to Lily. He was happy and proud. + +"I did it, Lily, I did it!" he said. "It was fun. It was not scary. It was a rainbow." + +Lily hugged him and cheered. + +"Good job, Ben, good job! You were brave. You resisted your fear. You tried something new. You had fun. You made a friend." + +They looked at the slide and saw it wink at them. They laughed and ran to it again. They slid down the slide, over and over, until their mom called them to go home. They said goodbye to the slide and thanked it for the fun. They left the park, holding hands, feeling happy and brave. +Lila liked to draw in her notebook. She drew flowers, stars, animals and people. She used many colors and made her pictures attractive. She was proud of her notebook and showed it to her friends. + +One day, a boy named Max saw Lila's notebook. He wanted to have it. He was not nice and did not ask. He tried to grab it from Lila's hands. Lila was scared and angry. She said, "No, Max, this is my notebook. You cannot have it. Go away!" + +Max did not listen. He pulled harder and harder. Lila held on to her notebook. She did not want to lose it. She cried for help. She needed someone to protect her. + +Then, she saw Sam. Sam was her friend and he was big and strong. He heard Lila's cry and came to help. He said, "Max, stop it. You are being mean and rude. You cannot take Lila's notebook. It is hers and she loves it. Leave her alone!" + +Max was afraid of Sam. He let go of the notebook and ran away. He was ashamed and sorry. Lila was happy and relieved. She thanked Sam and hugged him. She said, "Sam, you are my hero. You protected me and my notebook. You are a good friend." + +Sam smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lila. I am glad you are okay. Your notebook is very attractive. You are a good artist. Can I see your pictures?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, Sam, you can. Come, let's sit and look at them together." + +They sat on the grass and looked at Lila's notebook. They admired her drawings and talked about them. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and they were friends. +Ben and Mia are hungry. They want to eat something good. They see a sign on a big shop. The sign has a picture of a pizza. Ben and Mia like pizza. They go to the shop. + +But the shop is not a pizza shop. It is a shop that sells soap. The soap looks like pizza, but it is not pizza. It is soap. Ben and Mia do not know this. They take a soap pizza and bite it. + +The soap pizza tastes terrible. It is not yummy. It is yucky. It makes their mouths feel funny. They spit out the soap pizza and cry. They do not want to eat soap. They want to eat pizza. + +A nice lady sees Ben and Mia. She works in the shop. She is sorry for them. She gives them a tissue and some water. She tells them that the soap is not for eating. It is for washing. She shows them the real pizza shop across the street. She says they can go there and eat pizza. + +Ben and Mia say thank you to the nice lady. They are still hungry. They run to the real pizza shop. They order a pizza with cheese and tomato. They eat the pizza. It is yummy. It is not yucky. It does not make their mouths feel funny. They are happy. They do not eat soap again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a ball and a doll and a truck. They were happy. + +But then they saw something on the other side of the fence. It was big and black and hairy. It had four legs and a long tail. It made a loud noise. It was an unknown animal. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know what the animal was. They did not know if it was friendly or mean. They ran to the fence and looked at it. + +"Go away, go away!" Lily shouted at the animal. She grabbed the ball and threw it at it. But the ball bounced off the fence and came back to her. + +"Let's go inside, let's go inside!" Tom said to Lily. He grabbed the doll and the truck and ran to the door. He did not want to play with the animal. + +But the animal did not want to play with them either. It was just a dog. It was lost and hungry and lonely. It wanted to find its home and its family. It did not like the fence and the ball and the noise. It turned around and walked away. It hoped to find someone who would love it. +Tom and Sue were playing with blocks. They liked to make big buildings with the blocks. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green. + +"Look at my building!" Tom said. "It is very tall and strong. It has a door and a window and a roof." + +"Your building is ugly!" Sue said. "It has too many colors. It looks like a mess. My building is better. It is only blue and yellow. It is very pretty and neat." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not like what Sue said. He wanted to quit playing with her. He had an idea. He waited for Sue to look away. Then he pushed her building with his hand. All the blocks fell down. Sue's building was gone. + +"Hey!" Sue shouted. "What did you do? You broke my building! That was mean!" + +Tom laughed. He felt happy. He thought he had won. He did not see what was behind him. Sue had another idea. She picked up a big red block. She threw it at Tom's building. The block hit the roof. Tom's building also fell down. Tom's building was also gone. + +Tom and Sue both looked at their broken buildings. They both felt sad and angry. They both wanted to quit playing with blocks. They both started to cry. They had no fun. They had no friends. They had learned a lesson. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they liked different ones. Tim liked cars and trucks, and Sam liked planes and rockets. One day, they found a big box of screws in the garage. They thought they could use them to make their toys better. + +"Look, I can put a screw on my car and make it faster!" Tim said, as he picked a shiny screw and stuck it on his toy. + +"That's silly, screws are for planes and rockets, not cars and trucks!" Sam said, as he grabbed a long screw and put it on his toy. + +They started to argue about who had the best screw and who could use it better. They did not value each other's toys or ideas. They got angry and loud. + +"Give me that screw, it's mine!" Tim shouted, as he tried to take Sam's screw. + +"No, it's mine, you have your own!" Sam shouted back, as he pulled his screw away. + +They fought and fought, until they heard a harsh voice. + +"Boys, what are you doing? Stop that noise and come here!" It was their mom, who had heard them from the kitchen. She was not happy. + +They dropped their toys and screws and ran to their mom. She looked at them with a stern face. + +"Did you take these screws from the garage without asking?" She asked. + +They nodded, feeling scared. + +"Do you know how dangerous these are? You could hurt yourself or break something!" She said. + +They shook their heads, feeling sorry. + +"You are both in big trouble. You have to put the screws back, and then go to your rooms. No more toys for today. And you have to apologize to each other for fighting." She said. + +They did as they were told, feeling sad. They had ruined their fun and their mom's trust. They wished they had been nicer to each other and valued their toys and screws more. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. + +"Look, Tom, I have a leaf crown!" Lily said, putting some leaves on her head. "I am the queen of the park!" + +Tom looked at Lily's crown and felt envious. He wanted a leaf crown too. He tried to gather some leaves, but they were too slippery and fell off his head. He frowned and bit his lip. + +"Lily, give me some of your leaves!" he said. "I want a crown too!" + +"No, Tom, these are my leaves!" Lily said. "You have to find your own!" + +Tom was angry. He grabbed Lily's crown and pulled it off her head. Lily was sad. She cried and grabbed Tom's arm. + +"Tom, that's not nice! Give me back my crown!" she said. + +The twins started to fight over the leaves. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the park ranger who came to the pile. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" the park ranger said. "You are making a mess of the park!" + +The twins stopped fighting and looked at the park ranger. They felt scared and sorry. They dropped the leaves and hung their heads. + +"We're sorry, sir," they said. "We were playing with the leaves." + +The park ranger smiled and shook his head. + +"It's okay, kids, but you have to be careful and share," he said. "Why don't you make two crowns instead of one? Then you can both be kings and queens of the park." + +The twins liked the idea. They said thank you to the park ranger and gathered some more leaves. They made two crowns and put them on their heads. They hugged and said sorry to each other. + +"Tom, you are a good brother," Lily said. + +"Lily, you are a good sister," Tom said. + +They smiled and played in the park. They were happy and not envious anymore. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was blue. It had blue fur and blue eyes. Lily and Ben thought the dog was pretty. + +"Hello, dog. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. She went near the dog. Ben followed her. + +The dog did not want to play. The dog was hungry. It had not eaten for a long time. It saw Lily and Ben as food. It growled and showed its teeth. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to run away. But the dog was faster. It jumped on Lily and bit her arm. Lily screamed. Ben cried. + +"Help! Help!" Ben shouted. He wanted to comfort Lily. He wanted to make the pain go away. But he could not. The dog was too strong. + +No one heard Ben. No one came to help. The dog ate Lily and Ben. They were gone. The dog was not hungry anymore. It was happy. It licked its blue lips. +Tim and Mia wanted to play in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But the park had a big gate and a guard. The guard did not permit anyone to enter the park. + +"Why not?" Tim asked the guard. + +"Because the park is not safe," the guard said. "There is a deep hole in the ground. You could fall and hurt yourself." + +"Where is the hole?" Mia asked. + +"Over there, by the big tree," the guard said. "You can see the yellow tape around it." + +Tim and Mia looked at the hole. It was very deep and dark. They felt scared. + +"Can we play somewhere else?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, you can play on the sidewalk or in the grass," the guard said. "But stay away from the hole." + +"Okay, thank you," Tim and Mia said. They ran to the grass and played with their ball. They had fun and did not go near the hole. They listened to the guard and stayed safe. +Lily loved to play with her toy train. She had a big track that went around her room and she made the train go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. She liked to pretend that the train was going on adventures to different places, like the park, the zoo, or the moon. + +One day, she decided to take her train outside and play in the garden. She found a nice spot under a tree and set up her track on the grass. She made the train go around and around, and imagined that it was exploring a forest full of animals and flowers. She was having so much fun that she didn't notice that a big black cat was watching her from behind a bush. + +The cat was curious and hungry. It saw the train moving and thought it was a mouse or a bird. It crept closer and closer, ready to pounce. Lily didn't see the cat until it was too late. The cat jumped out of the bush and grabbed the train in its mouth. It ran away with the train, leaving Lily shocked and sad. + +"Hey, that's my train!" Lily shouted. She ran after the cat, but it was too fast for her. She couldn't catch it. She started to cry. She loved her train and she wanted it back. She didn't know what to do. + +Then she heard a friendly voice. It was her neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was walking his dog, Spot. He saw Lily crying and asked her what was wrong. + +"A cat took my train!" Lily sobbed. "It ran away with it and I can't find it!" + +Mr. Lee frowned. He knew the cat. It belonged to another neighbor, Mrs. Smith. He had seen it before, chasing birds and squirrels. He didn't like the cat. It was mean and sneaky. + +"Don't worry, Lily," he said. "We'll find your train. Come on, Spot. Let's go." + +He took Lily's hand and walked with her. Spot followed them, sniffing the ground. He was a good dog. He could smell the cat and the train. He led them to Mrs. Smith's house. There, they saw the cat sitting on the porch, playing with the train. It had bitten and scratched the train, but it was still in one piece. + +"Bad cat!" Mr. Lee shouted. He scared the cat away. He picked up the train and gave it to Lily. "Here you go, Lily. Your train is back. It's a bit damaged, but it's harmless. You can fix it with some glue and paint." + +Lily smiled. She hugged the train and thanked Mr. Lee and Spot. She was happy to have her train back. She decided to never take it outside again. She learned that cats are not always nice and that trains are better off indoors. She went home and played with her train on her track. She made the train go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. She liked to pretend that the train was going on adventures to different places, like the park, the zoo, or the moon. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lily liked the fountain. She wanted to touch the water. + +"Can I go to the fountain, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't get too wet," Mom said. + +Lily ran to the fountain. She put her hand in the water. It was cold and wet. She giggled. She saw a fish in the water. It was orange and shiny. It swam around the fountain. + +"Hello, fish," Lily said. "Do you like the water?" + +The fish did not answer. It just blinked its eyes. Lily blinked back. She thought the fish was friendly. + +Ben saw Lily talking to the fish. He wanted to see the fish too. He walked to the fountain. He saw the fish. It was orange and shiny. It swam around the fountain. + +"Hi, fish," Ben said. "Can I play with you?" + +The fish did not answer. It just blinked its eyes. Ben blinked back. He thought the fish was curious. + +Mom watched Lily and Ben from a bench. She smiled. She saw many people in the park. They were walking, running, playing, and talking. The park was busy. But Lily and Ben did not care. They were happy with the fish. They blinked and giggled. They liked the fountain. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a purple doll that she loves very much. Ben has a big truck that he likes to zoom around. They are having fun, but they also want to show their toys to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at my doll!" Lily says, holding up her purple doll. "She has a pretty dress and a bow in her hair. She is my best friend." + +Mom smiles and says, "She is very pretty, Lily. I like her purple dress. What is her name?" + +"Her name is Daisy," Lily says. "She likes to sing and dance with me." + +Mom nods and says, "That's wonderful, Lily. You have a very nice doll." + +"Mom, mom, look at my truck!" Ben says, driving his truck to the couch where mom is sitting. "It has big wheels and a loud horn. It can go fast and carry things. It is my favorite toy." + +Mom looks and says, "It is very cool, Ben. I like its big wheels. What do you carry with your truck?" + +"I carry rocks and sticks and balls," Ben says. "Sometimes I carry Daisy too, but Lily gets mad." + +Mom laughs and says, "That's not very nice, Ben. You should not take Lily's doll without asking. How would you feel if Lily took your truck?" + +Ben thinks and says, "I would feel sad and angry. I don't like it when someone takes my truck." + +Mom says, "Then you should not do it to Lily. You should share your toys and play nicely. Why don't you display your toys on the side of the couch, so you can both see them and enjoy them?" + +Lily and Ben think that is a good idea. They display their toys on the side of the couch, and then they sit next to mom. They look at their toys and smile. They are happy to have their toys and their mom. They give mom a big hug and say, "We love you, mom." + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. You are my best gifts." +Tom and Lily were playing with cards. They had to find two cards that were the same. That was called a match. Tom was good at finding matches. He had many cards in his pile. Lily was not so good. She had few cards in her pile. + +"Tom, can I see your cards?" Lily asked. She wanted to find more matches. + +"No, Lily, you can't. That is not fair. You have to look at your own cards," Tom said. He was impatient. He wanted to win the game. + +"But Tom, I can't find any matches. Please, let me see your cards. Just for a little bit," Lily begged. She was sad. She wanted to have fun. + +"No, Lily, no. Go away. These are my cards. You are a cheater," Tom shouted. He pushed Lily away. He was angry. He did not want to share. + +Lily fell down. She hurt her knee. She started to cry. She was hurt. She wanted to tell the truth. She did not want to cheat. She just wanted to play. + +Mom heard Lily cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily on the floor and Tom with his cards. She was upset. She wanted to know what happened. + +"Tom, what did you do to Lily? Why is she crying?" Mom asked. She was stern. She wanted to hear the truth. + +"Nothing, Mom, nothing. We were just playing. She wanted to see my cards. She wanted to cheat. I said no. She fell down. It was not my fault," Tom lied. He was scared. He wanted to avoid trouble. + +Mom did not believe Tom. She saw his cards. She saw that he had all the matches. She knew that he was lying. She was disappointed. She wanted to teach him a lesson. + +"Tom, you are lying. That is not the truth. You were not playing fair. You were not sharing. You were not kind. You hurt Lily. You made her cry. You should be sorry. You should say sorry. You should give her some of your cards. You should play nice. Do you understand?" Mom said. She was firm. She wanted to make him change. + +Tom did not understand. He did not want to say sorry. He did not want to give his cards. He did not want to play nice. He was stubborn. He wanted to keep his cards. He wanted to win the game. + +"Mom, no, no, no. These are my cards. I found them. I won them. I don't want to share. I don't want to say sorry. I don't want to play nice. I want to play alone. Go away. Leave me alone," Tom said. He was rude. He wanted to disobey. + +Mom was angry. She did not like Tom's attitude. She did not like his words. She did not like his actions. She was done. She wanted to punish him. + +"Tom, that is enough. You are being very bad. You are being very selfish. You are being very mean. You are not listening. You are not learning. You are not playing. You are going to your room. You are going to stay there. You are going to think about what you did. You are going to lose your cards. You are going to lose your game. You are going to lose your fun. Do you understand?" Mom said. She was loud. She wanted to make him go. + +Tom did not understand. He did not want to go to his room. He did not want to stay there. He did not want to think about what he did. He did not want to lose his cards. He did not want to lose his game. He did not want to lose his fun. He was sad. He wanted to keep his cards. He wanted to keep his game. He wanted to keep his fun. + +"Mom, no, no, no. Please, Mom, please. Don't take my cards. Don't take my game. Don't take my fun. Please, Mom, please. I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. I'll share, Mom, I'll share. I'll play nice, Mom, I'll play nice. Please, Mom, please. Don't make me go. Don't make me stay. Don't make me lose. Please, Mom, please," Tom begged. He was crying. He wanted to change his mind. + +But it was too late. Mom had made up her mind. She took his cards. She took his game. She took his fun. She made him go. She made him stay. She made him lose. She did not listen. She did not care. She did not please. + +She left him alone. She left him in his room. She left him with his +Sara likes to bathe in the big tub. She has many toys to play with. She has a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. She makes them swim and splash in the water. She sings and laughs. + +But sometimes, Sara hears a loud noise outside. It is the train that goes on the rail. The train is very noisy. It makes a choo-choo sound and a whistle sound. Sara does not like the train. It scares her and her toys. + +When Sara hears the train, she hugs her duck and covers her ears. She says, "Go away, train! You are too noisy! You make me and my toys sad!" She wishes the train would stop. + +One day, Sara's mom has an idea. She says, "Sara, do you want to see the train up close? Maybe you will like it better if you see it." Sara is not sure, but she says, "OK, mom." + +Sara's mom takes her to the rail. They wait for the train to come. Sara holds her mom's hand. She is a little scared. But when the train comes, Sara sees that it is not so bad. It is big and colorful. It has many cars and windows. She sees people waving and smiling. She hears the choo-choo sound and the whistle sound, but they are not so loud. + +Sara's mom says, "Look, Sara, the train is saying hello to you. It is not mean. It is friendly. It is taking people to different places. Do you want to wave back?" Sara nods. She waves to the train. She smiles. She says, "Hello, train! You are not too noisy. You are fun!" She is not scared anymore. She likes the train. + +Sara and her mom go back home. Sara is happy. She says, "Mom, can I bathe with my train toy?" Sara's mom says, "Yes, Sara, you can. You have a new friend." Sara runs to the tub. She takes her train toy and her other toys. She makes them swim and splash in the water. She sings and laughs. She says, "Choo-choo!" +Sara likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has a pink dress and a zip on the back. Sara likes to zip and unzip Lily's dress. She thinks it is fun. + +One day, Sara is playing with Lily in the living room. She sees a big armchair near the window. The armchair is clean and soft. Sara thinks it is a good place for Lily to rest. She puts Lily on the armchair and zips her dress. Then she goes to get a book. + +But Sara does not see that the armchair is not empty. There is a cat sleeping on the armchair. The cat is black and furry. The cat does not like to be disturbed. The cat sees Lily on the armchair and thinks it is a toy. The cat grabs Lily with its claws and bites her dress. + +Sara hears a loud meow and a rip. She runs back to the living room. She sees the cat and Lily on the floor. Lily's dress is torn and the zip is broken. Sara is sad and angry. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She scolds the cat and tells it to go away. + +The cat runs away and hides under the sofa. Sara takes Lily to her room. She tries to fix her dress and her zip. She tells Lily that she is sorry and that she loves her. She hopes that Lily will be okay. She thinks that the armchair is not a good place for Lily to rest. She thinks that the cat is not a nice cat. She thinks that she will not play with the cat again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to walk to the farm near their house. The farm has many animals that they can see and hear. Sara likes the cows. Tom likes the pigs. + +One day, they walk to the farm and see a new animal. It is big and white and has long hair. It makes a loud sound like "baa". Sara and Tom are curious. + +"What is that?" Sara asks. + +"That is a sheep," Tom says. "It is a farm animal that gives us wool." + +"Wool?" Sara repeats. + +"Yes, wool. It is soft and warm and we can make clothes from it," Tom explains. + +Sara and Tom go closer to the sheep. The sheep looks at them and baa again. Sara and Tom smile. They think the sheep is attractive. + +"Can we touch it?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe. But we have to be gentle and quiet," Tom says. + +They reach out their hands and stroke the sheep's hair. The sheep lets them and seems to like it. Sara and Tom feel happy. + +The sheep is their new friend. They walk to the farm every day to visit it. They also learn more about the other animals and the farm work. They have fun and learn a lot. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a kayak by the lake. It is red and yellow. It looks cute. + +"Can we go in the kayak?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. It is not ours. Maybe we need to ask someone," Ben says. + +They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a hat and a book. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like the kayak?" he asks. + +"Yes, it is cute. Can we go in it?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, you can. But you need to wear these," he says. He gives them two life jackets. "They will keep you safe in the water." + +"Thank you, mister," Ben says. + +They put on the life jackets. They climb into the kayak. The man helps them push it into the lake. + +"Have fun, kids. But don't go too far," he says. + +Anna and Ben paddle the kayak. They see fish and ducks and frogs. They laugh and sing. They have a lot of fun. + +They plan to come back to the lake again. They like the kayak. They like the man. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their furry cat, Max. Max is black and white and has a long tail. He likes to sleep on the sofa and chase balls. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to play a game with Max. They find a test in their mom's drawer. It is a paper with many dots and colors. They do not know what it is for, but they think it looks fun. + +"Let's see if Max can do the test," Lily says. "Maybe he is very smart." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Mom said we should not touch her things." + +They take the test and a pencil and go to the living room. They put the test on the floor and call Max. Max comes running and sniffs the paper. He sees the pencil and tries to bite it. + +"Max, no!" Lily says. "That is not a toy. Look at the test. Can you see the dots and colors?" + +Max looks at the test. He sees red, blue, green, and yellow dots. He does not know what they mean. He thinks they are boring. He steps on the test and walks away. + +"Max, come back!" Ben says. "You have to do the test. You have to draw a line from one dot to another." + +Max does not listen. He sees a ball on the floor and runs after it. He plays with the ball and forgets about the test. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They think Max does not like their game. They pick up the test and the pencil and put them back in the drawer. They hope mom will not notice. + +They go to the sofa and cuddle with Max. He purrs and licks their faces. He likes them very much. He does not need a test to show them that. +Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and share snacks. One day, they found a big jug in the yard. It was shiny and had a handle and a spout. + +"Wow, look at this jug!" Lila said. "It is so pretty! I want to play with it!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's fill it with water and pour it on the flowers!" + +They took the jug to the faucet and filled it with water. Then they ran to the flower bed and took turns pouring water on the flowers. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Lila saw a sticker on the bottom of the jug. It said: "This jug is very old and very valuable. Do not touch or break it. It belongs to Mr. Jones." + +"Uh-oh," Lila said. "This jug is not a toy. It is very important. We should not play with it. We should give it back to Mr. Jones." + +"Who is Mr. Jones?" Ben asked. + +"He is the old man who lives next door. He is not very friendly. He always yells at us when we go near his fence. He has a lot of old things in his house. He likes them very much." + +"Then we should keep the jug. It is more fun than his old things. He will not miss it. He has too many," Ben said. + +"No, Ben. That is not nice. We should not take things that are not ours. We should value what we have and respect what others have. Come on, let's go and say sorry to Mr. Jones and give him back his jug." + +But Ben did not want to go. He liked the jug too much. He wanted to keep it for himself. He grabbed the jug from Lila and ran away. + +"Ben, stop! Come back!" Lila shouted. "You are being selfish and mean!" + +But Ben did not listen. He ran faster and faster. He did not see the rock on the ground. He tripped and fell. The jug flew out of his hands and smashed on the pavement. It broke into many pieces. + +Lila ran to Ben and saw the broken jug. She felt very sad and scared. She knew Mr. Jones would be very angry. She also saw that Ben had scraped his knee and elbow. He was bleeding and crying. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lila asked. "I'm sorry you got hurt. But you should not have taken the jug. It was wrong. Now we are in big trouble." + +Ben looked at Lila and the broken jug. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had listened to Lila. He wished he had been more friendly and more careful. He wished he could fix the jug and make everything better. But he could not. He had lost a friend and a jug. He felt very sorry and very stupid. He did not know what to do. He wished he could hide. But he could not. He had to face Mr. Jones and his anger. He was very afraid. He knew he would get a bad ending. +Tim and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and stones. Tim had a big shovel and Mia had a small one. They were having fun. + +"Look, I found a cauliflower!" Tim said, holding up a white and green thing. He had dug it up from the vegetable patch. + +"That's not a cauliflower, that's a cabbage!" Mia said. She knew the names of the vegetables because her mom taught her. "You have to put it back, or mom will be angry." + +"No, it's a cauliflower, and I want to keep it. It's funny and round and soft." Tim said. He did not want to listen to Mia. He liked the cabbage. + +"Give it to me, Tim!" Mia said, trying to grab the cabbage. "It's not yours, it's mom's!" + +"Go away, Mia!" Tim said, pushing her away. "It's mine, and I will bury it!" + +Tim ran to a corner of the garden, where he had dug a big hole. He threw the cabbage in the hole and covered it with dirt. He smiled. He had buried the cauliflower. + +Mia was sad and angry. She ran to the house and told mom what Tim had done. Mom was not happy. She went to the garden and scolded Tim. + +"Tim, you have been very naughty. You took the cabbage from the vegetable patch and buried it. That was not a cauliflower, that was a cabbage. We were going to eat it for dinner. Now it's ruined. You have to dig it up and say sorry to Mia and me." + +Tim felt bad. He had made a mistake. He did not know the cabbage was for dinner. He did not mean to make mom and Mia unhappy. He took his shovel and dug up the cabbage. It was dirty and smelly. He gave it to mom and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I thought it was a cauliflower. I wanted to keep it because it was funny. I won't do it again." + +Mom hugged Tim and Mia. She was not angry anymore. She was glad Tim said sorry. + +"It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take anything from the vegetable patch. And don't bury the vegetables, they are for eating, not for playing. Come on, let's go inside and wash up. I have some real cauliflower for dinner. Do you want to try it?" + +Tim nodded. He wanted to try the cauliflower. Maybe it was funny too. He followed mom and Mia to the house. They were friends again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found some dough in a bowl. It was soft and sticky. + +"Can I drink the dough?" Ben asked. He was thirsty and curious. + +"No, Ben, dough is not for drinking. It is for baking. If you drink it, you will be sick." Lily said. She was older and smarter. + +"Then what can I drink?" Ben asked. He looked around the kitchen. He saw a bottle of juice on the counter. + +"Juice is for drinking. But be careful, Ben. The bottle is big and heavy. You need to hold it with both hands." Lily said. She helped Ben to get the bottle. + +Ben and Lily drank some juice. It was sweet and yummy. They felt happy and refreshed. + +"Let's make the cake now. We need to add some eggs and sugar and milk to the dough. Then we need to put it in the oven." Lily said. She knew the recipe. + +"OK, Lily. I will help you. But we need to be careful with the oven. It is hot and dangerous. We need to ask Mom for help." Ben said. He remembered the rules. + +Ben and Lily mixed the dough with the other ingredients. They poured it into a pan. They called Mom to help them with the oven. Mom was proud of them. She said they were good and clever. + +Soon the cake was ready. It smelled good and looked nice. Ben and Lily shared it with Mom. They enjoyed their treat. They hugged and thanked Mom. They had fun in the kitchen. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and games. Sometimes they pretend to be animals or heroes or pirates. + +One night, Sara and Ben are not sleepy. They lie in their beds and talk to each other. + +"Sara, what do you dream about?" Ben asks. + +"I dream about flying in the sky. I see the clouds and the stars and the birds. It is fun and beautiful. What do you dream about?" Sara answers. + +"I dream about exploring the jungle. I see the trees and the flowers and the animals. It is exciting and adventurous. Do you want to dream with me?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I do. How can we dream together?" Sara asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. + +"Let's pretend we are in the jungle. We can use our pillows and blankets and stuffed animals. We can make noises and stories. We can be playful and brave. Are you ready?" Ben says. + +Sara smiles and nods. She likes Ben's idea. + +"OK, let's go. I am a monkey and you are a lion. We are friends and we explore the jungle. Roar and ooh-ooh!" Sara says. + +Ben and Sara start to play. They use their imagination and have fun. They forget about the time and the dark. They are happy and cozy. They dream together. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a train. They liked to share and take turns. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, Max, the sunshine is so bright and warm!" Lily said, pointing to the sky. + +"Yes, Lily, the sunshine is great. It makes me happy!" Max said, smiling. + +They ran and jumped and laughed. They were very tired after a while. + +"Max, I'm sleepy. Can we nap?" Lily asked, yawning. + +"OK, Lily, let's nap. We can play more later." Max agreed, nodding. + +They found a shady spot under a big tree. They laid down on the grass and cuddled with their toys. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. + +The sunshine kissed their faces gently. They had a great nap. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Oil". They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tim said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Tim, we should not," Lily said. "Mama told me oil is bad. It can make you sick and dirty. And the truck is dark and scary." + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the truck and opened the door. He saw many cans of oil and a big hose. He grabbed a can and shook it. + +"Look, Lily, it makes a funny sound," he said. "Clap, clap, clap!" + +He opened the can and poured some oil on the ground. It was black and sticky. He laughed and clapped his hands. + +"Come on, Lily, join me," he said. "It's fun to play with oil." + +Lily was afraid. She did not want to touch the oil. She saw a man coming out of the park office. He looked angry and had a badge. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing?" he shouted. "That's my oil truck. You are making a big mess. Get away from there!" + +Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped the can and ran away. The oil spilled everywhere. It made the ground slippery and dirty. The man slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and got oil on his clothes. He was very mad. + +Tim and Lily ran to their mamas. They told them what happened. Their mamas were not happy. They scolded them and made them go back to the park. They had to say sorry to the man and help him clean the oil. It was hard and boring. They learned their lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not know. Listen to your friends and your mamas. Oil is not a toy. It can cause trouble and harm. +Tom is a new boy in school. He does not have the same language as the other kids. He has a different language from his home. He is nervous to talk to the other kids. He thinks they will not understand him or like him. + +One day, he sits next to Mia in the playground. Mia has a big smile and a red ball. She says, "Hi, I am Mia. Do you want to play with me?" Tom does not know what to say. He looks at the ball and nods. Mia gives him the ball and says, "This is a ball. You can throw it and catch it. It is fun." Tom tries to say, "ball", but it sounds different. Mia does not mind. She says, "That is okay. You can say it your way. I can say it my way. We can still play." + +Tom and Mia play with the ball for a long time. They laugh and run and have fun. They do not need many words to be friends. They have the same language of play. Tom is not nervous anymore. He is happy. He has a new friend. +Sara likes to collect rocks. She finds them in the park, in the yard, and on the street. She puts them in her pocket, in her bag, and in her box. She has big rocks, small rocks, smooth rocks, and rough rocks. She loves her rocks. + +One day, Sara sees a shiny rock on the ground. It is round and bright and sparkly. She wants it for her collection. She runs to pick it up, but she trips and falls. The rock flies into her mouth. She coughs and chokes and spits it out. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" her mom asks. She runs to Sara and hugs her. "What happened?" + +"I saw a shiny rock and I wanted it, but it went into my mouth and it hurt," Sara says. She rubs her throat and cries. + +"Oh, Sara, you have to be careful. You can't put rocks in your mouth. They are not food. They can make you sick or hurt you. You have to use your eyes and your hands to collect rocks, not your mouth," her mom says. She takes the rock and throws it away. "Here, have some water. It will make you feel better." + +Sara drinks the water and stops crying. She feels a little dizzy from the fall and the cough. She hugs her mom and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't put rocks in my mouth again. I only want to collect them and look at them and touch them." + +"That's good, Sara. I'm glad you're okay. You have a very nice collection of rocks. But remember, they are not toys. You have to be gentle and safe with them. And you have to share them with your friends, too. They might like to see your rocks and learn about them," her mom says. + +"Okay, mom. I will share my rocks and be gentle and safe. And I will use my eyes and my hands, not my mouth," Sara says. She smiles and kisses her mom. She picks up her bag and her box and goes to show her rocks to her friends. She is happy. +Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good helper and learn new things. One day, her mom said, "Sara, do you want to help me with the dishwasher?" + +Sara nodded and smiled. She liked the dishwasher. It was a big machine that made the dishes clean and shiny. She followed her mom to the sink, where they put the dirty dishes in a basket. + +"Good job, Sara. Now we have to put the basket in the dishwasher. Can you open the door for me?" her mom asked. + +Sara reached for the handle and pulled. The door opened with a click. She saw many racks and slots inside the dishwasher. Her mom lifted the basket and slid it into a rack. + +"Thank you, Sara. Now we have to add some soap and close the door. The soap is very important. It helps the water wash the dishes. Can you find the soap for me?" her mom said. + +Sara looked around and saw a small box on the counter. It had a picture of a dish and a bubble on it. She knew it was the soap. She grabbed the box and brought it to her mom. + +"Here it is, mom. The soap," she said proudly. + +"Good girl, Sara. You are very smart. Now watch me. I will show you how to put the soap in the dishwasher. See this little door here? You have to open it and put some soap inside. Then you close it and push this button. That tells the dishwasher to start," her mom explained. + +Sara watched carefully and nodded. She wanted to remember how to do it. Her mom put some soap in the little door, closed it, and pushed the button. The dishwasher made a humming sound and a light came on. + +"Wow, mom. The dishwasher is working. It is washing the dishes," Sara said. + +"Yes, it is, Sara. And you helped me a lot. You are a great helper. I love you," her mom said. + +"I love you too, mom. Can I help you with the dishwasher again?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, Sara. You can help me anytime. The dishwasher is our friend. It makes our work easier and faster. And you make it more fun," her mom said. + +They hugged and smiled. Sara felt happy and proud. She liked to help her mom with the dishwasher. It was an important and fun thing to do. +Jenny loves to sing. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings when she plays, when she eats, and when she bathes. She sings with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. She sings loud and soft, fast and slow, happy and sad. + +One day, Jenny finds a microphone in the closet. It is shiny and black, with a long cord and a big button. She does not know what it is, but she thinks it is unusual. She decides to play with it. She plugs it into the wall and presses the button. She hears a loud noise. She is scared. + +"Mom, mom, what is this?" she cries. + +Mom comes running. She sees the microphone and smiles. + +"That is a microphone, Jenny. It is a tool that makes your voice louder. Do you want to try it?" she asks. + +Jenny nods. She is curious. She holds the microphone close to her mouth and says, "Hello, hello, can you hear me?" + +She hears her voice echo in the room. She is amazed. + +"Wow, this is fun!" she says. + +She starts to sing her favorite song. She sings with the microphone, and feels like a star. She imagines that she is on a big stage, with lights and music and people clapping. She is happy. + +Mom watches her and claps too. She is proud of her little singer. + +"Jenny, you have a beautiful voice. You can sing anything you want with the microphone. Just be careful not to make it too loud, okay?" she says. + +Jenny nods. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love singing. I love the microphone. It is unusual, but it is fun." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the field with their mom and dad. The field had many flowers and bees and butterflies. Tom and Lily ran and laughed and picked some flowers. + +"Look, mom, I found a yellow flower!" Tom said, holding up his flower. + +"That's very pretty, Tom," mom said, smiling. + +"I found a purple flower!" Lily said, showing her flower. + +"That's very nice, Lily," dad said, nodding. + +Tom looked at Lily's flower and felt jealous. He wanted a purple flower too. He thought purple was a better color than yellow. He looked around the field, but he could not see any purple flowers. + +He saw a bee flying near a purple flower. He had an idea. He ran to the bee and tried to catch it. He thought if he caught the bee, he could make it give him the purple flower. + +But the bee did not like Tom's idea. The bee was angry and scared. It stung Tom on his hand. Tom cried out in pain and dropped the bee. His hand was red and swollen. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said, holding his hand. + +Mom and dad heard Tom's cry and ran to him. They saw his hand and the bee. + +"Oh, Tom, what did you do?" mom asked, worried. + +"I wanted the purple flower," Tom said, sobbing. + +"You can't take the bee's flower, Tom. That's not nice. The bee needs the flower for honey. And the bee can hurt you if you bother it," dad said, gently. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, bee. I was jealous of Lily's flower," Tom said, sorry. + +Lily heard Tom's words and felt sorry for him too. She walked to him and gave him her purple flower. + +"Here, Tom, you can have my flower. I don't mind. I like yellow too," Lily said, kindly. + +Tom looked at Lily and smiled. He took her flower and gave her a hug. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I was jealous. I like yellow too," Tom said, happily. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them both. + +"That's very sweet of you, Lily. And that's very brave of you, Tom. We're proud of you both. Now let's go home and put some ice on your hand, okay?" mom said, lovingly. + +"Okay, mom," Tom and Lily said, together. + +They held hands and walked to the car with their mom and dad. They still had their flowers and they still liked to play outside. But they learned to be careful of the bees and to share with each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they decide to have a picnic. They bring some bread, cheese, fruit and juice. They find a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket. + +But then, they see another boy and girl having a picnic too. They have a lot of food, like cake, cookies, sandwiches and soda. They also have a ball, a kite and a teddy bear. Lily and Ben feel jealous. They want to have what the other kids have. They forget about their own picnic and start to talk. + +"Look at their food, it looks so yummy. I wish we had some cake and cookies," Lily says. + +"And look at their toys, they look so fun. I wish we had a ball and a kite and a teddy bear," Ben says. + +They talk and talk and talk. They do not eat their food or play with each other. They only look at the other kids and feel sad and angry. + +The other kids finish their picnic and pack their things. They see Lily and Ben and smile. They walk over to them and say hello. + +"Hi, we are Anna and Tom. We saw you having a picnic too. Do you want to share some of our food and play with us?" Anna says. + +"Yes, we have some cake and cookies left. And we can take turns with the ball and the kite and the teddy bear. Do you want to be our friends?" Tom says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They feel ashamed. They realize they have been rude and ungrateful. They have wasted their time and their food. They have ignored their own friend. + +They say sorry to each other and to Anna and Tom. They accept their offer and share some food and play with them. They have a lot of fun and make new friends. They learn that being jealous is not good. They learn to be happy with what they have and to be kind to others. They learn that sharing is caring. +Tom and Lily were fish who lived in a big pond. They liked to swim and play with their friends. They had many scales on their bodies that shone in the sun. + +One day, a new fish came to the pond. His name was Max and he had very big scales that sparkled like stars. He swam very fast and showed off his scales to everyone. He said, "Look at me, I am the greatest fish in the pond. No one has scales like mine. You are all small and dull." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. He was mean and rude. They said, "You are not the greatest fish, Max. You are just a bully. You have big scales, but you have a small heart. You do not have any friends." + +Max laughed and said, "I do not need friends. I have my scales. They are all I need. You are just jealous of me. Go away, you boring fish." + +Tom and Lily swam away, but they had an idea. They went to their other friends and told them what Max said. They asked them to help them teach Max a lesson. They all agreed. + +The next day, they swam to Max and said, "Hello, Max. We have a game for you. Do you want to play?" + +Max said, "What game? Is it a game where I can show you how great I am?" + +They said, "Yes, it is. It is a game of hide and seek. You have to hide and we have to find you. If we do not find you, you win. But if we find you, you have to give us one of your scales." + +Max said, "That is easy. You will never find me. I have the best hiding spots. And I do not care about giving you one of my scales. I have so many. Fine, I will play. You count to ten and I will hide." + +They said, "OK, we will count. One, two, three..." + +Max swam away and found a dark cave. He said, "This is the perfect spot. They will never see me here. I am so smart and great." + +He hid in the cave and waited. He waited and waited. He did not hear anyone looking for him. He said, "Ha, ha, ha. I win. They are too stupid to find me. I am the greatest fish in the pond." + +But he did not know that Tom, Lily and their friends had a plan. They did not look for him. They ignored him. They swam and played and had fun without him. They said, "We do not need Max. He is not a good friend. He is a bully. We have each other. We are happy." + +Max heard them laughing and having fun. He felt lonely and bored. He said, "Why are they not looking for me? Do they not care? Do they not want to see my scales? Do they not want to be my friends?" + +He swam out of the cave and saw them. He said, "Hey, hey, hey. I am here. I win. You did not find me. Give me some praise. Look at my scales. Are they not great?" + +But they did not look at him. They did not talk to him. They did not care. They said, "We do not want to play with you, Max. You are not nice. You are not fun. You are not a friend. You only care about yourself and your scales. You can keep them. We do not want them. Go away, Max." + +Max felt sad and angry. He said, "But, but, but. I am the greatest fish in the pond. I have the best scales. You should like me. You should want to be with me." + +They said, "No, Max. You are not the greatest fish. You are just a lonely fish. You have big scales, but you have a small heart. You need to learn how to be kind and share and play. Then maybe you can have some friends." + +Max realized that they were right. He had been mean and rude. He had not been a friend. He had only cared about his scales. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I want to be a friend. I want to be kind and share and play. Can you forgive me? Can you give me a chance?" + +They said, "Maybe, Max. Maybe. But you have to prove it. You have to show us that you can change. You have to show us that you can be a good fish. You have to show us that you have a big heart." + +Max said, "I will, I will. I will try. I will change. I will be a good fish. I will +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and black. + +But Lily wanted all the black blocks for herself. She liked black the most. She thought it was a cool and strong color. She took all the black blocks from the pile and put them in her corner. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. He wanted some black blocks too. He liked to mix the colors and make patterns. He tried to take some black blocks from Lily's corner. + +"No, mine!" Lily shouted. She pushed Ben away and hugged the black blocks. She was very impatient and did not want to share. + +Ben was sad and angry. He started to cry. He cried very loud and hard. He felt like Lily was being mean and selfish. + +Mom heard Ben's cry and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the blocks. She was not happy. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. She looked at Lily and Ben. + +"Lily took all the black blocks and won't share!" Ben said between his sobs. + +"I want the black blocks! They are mine!" Lily said with a pout. + +Mom shook her head. She did not like to see her children fight. She wanted them to be kind and share. + +"Listen, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "The blocks are for both of you to play with. You have to share and take turns. Black is not the only color. There are many other colors that are beautiful and fun. How about you make a rainbow with the blocks? You can use all the colors and work together." + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They thought about what she said. They felt a little sorry for fighting. They liked rainbows. They liked to work together. + +"Okay, Mom," Lily said. She gave some black blocks to Ben. "Sorry, Ben. You can have some black blocks." + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. He wiped his tears. "Sorry, Lily. You can have some black blocks too." + +They smiled at each other and hugged. They started to make a rainbow with the blocks. They used red, blue, yellow, green, and black. They had fun and were happy. + +Mom smiled too. She was glad to see her children get along. She hugged them and kissed them. She was proud of them. +Tom and Lily were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They were very happy. + +But then Tom saw a shiny red coat hanging on a fence. He wanted to wear it. He ran to the fence and tried to reach the coat. He jumped and stretched his arms, but he was too short. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily called. "That is not your coat. That is someone else's coat. You should not take it." + +Tom did not listen. He found a stick and used it to pull the coat down. He put it on and smiled. He felt warm and fancy. + +But the coat was too big for him. It dragged on the ground and got dirty. The snow and the mud made it wet and brown. Tom did not notice. He walked around the snowman and showed off. + +"Look at me, Lily!" he said. "I have a nice coat. Don't you like it?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not like it. She felt sad and angry. She said, "Tom, you are being bad. You took someone else's coat without asking. You made it dirty and ruined it. How would you feel if someone did that to your coat?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He remembered his blue coat that he loved. He imagined someone taking it and making it dirty. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was being bad. I should not have taken the coat. I should give it back and say sorry." + +He took off the coat and put it back on the fence. He hoped the owner would find it and forgive him. He ran back to Lily and hugged her. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Thank you for being a good friend. Can we play together again?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course, Tom. I forgive you. We can play together again. But next time, please be nice and share." + +They held hands and went back to their snowman. They played and had fun. They learned to be honest and kind. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red metal car that made loud noises. They always wanted to drive the red car, but they had to share it. + +One day, Tim had an idea. He said to Sam, "Let's make the red car go faster. We can put more batteries in it and it will zoom like a rocket." Sam thought that sounded fun, so he agreed. They found some batteries in the drawer and opened the car. They put four batteries inside, instead of two. + +They closed the car and turned it on. It made a very loud noise and started to move. Tim and Sam were excited and ran after it. But the car was too fast for them. It went out of the door and into the street. They saw a big truck coming and tried to stop the car, but it was too late. The truck hit the car and smashed it into pieces. The noise was very scary and the car was broken. + +Tim and Sam were very sad and scared. They ran to the car and picked up the pieces. They saw the batteries had burned and made smoke. They realized they had done something bad. They said to each other, "We are sorry. We should not have put more batteries in the car. We should have listened to Mom and Dad. They told us to be careful with the car and the batteries. We were silly and greedy. We ruined our favorite car." + +They went back to the house and told Mom and Dad what happened. Mom and Dad were angry and worried. They said, "You could have been hurt. You could have caused an accident. You were very naughty and reckless. You have to learn to be responsible and respectful. You have to say sorry to the truck driver and pay for the damage. You have to do extra chores and no more cars for a week." + +Tim and Sam felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, truck driver. We are sorry, red car. We made a big mistake. We will try to be better and smarter. We will do what you say and be good boys." + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We love you, Tim and Sam. We are glad you are safe and sorry. We hope you learned your lesson and will not do it again. We will help you fix the car and buy new batteries. But you have to promise to be careful and share." + +Tim and Sam nodded and said, "We promise, Mom and Dad. We love you too. We will be careful and share. We will not increase the batteries anymore. We will play with the car nicely and have fun." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big machine in the park. It is loud and dirty. It digs a hole in the ground. + +"What is that?" Jen asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is a monster." + +They are scared of the machine. They worry that it will hurt them or the park. They run away and hide behind a tree. + +The machine stops. A man comes out of the machine. He is not a monster. He is a worker. He smiles and waves at Tom and Jen. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Don't be afraid. This is not a monster. This is a machine. I use it to make the park better. I dig a hole to plant a new tree. Do you like trees?" + +Tom and Jen nod. They like trees. They are not scared of the machine anymore. They are curious. + +"Can we see the machine?" Tom asks. + +"Sure," the man says. "But be careful. It is wild. It can move and make noise. You have to stay away from it when it works. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Jen nod. They understand. They follow the man to the machine. He shows them how it works. He lets them touch it and sit in it. They have fun. They learn a lot. + +They thank the man and say goodbye. They go back to play in the park. They are happy. They are not worried anymore. They have a new friend and a new tree. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to surprise Tom with a big tower. She took all the blocks she could find and stacked them very high. She was careful not to make them fall. + +"Tom, come and see what I made!" she called. + +Tom came and saw the tower. He was amazed. It was taller than him. + +"Wow, Lily, you are very good at building!" he said. + +"Thank you, Tom. Do you want to play with it?" she asked. + +"Yes, please. Can I add some more blocks?" he said. + +"Sure, but be gentle. The tower might crack if you push too hard," she warned. + +Tom nodded. He picked up a blue block and looked for a place to put it. He saw a gap near the top of the tower. He reached up and tried to fit the block in. + +But he was not gentle enough. He pushed too hard and the block slipped. It hit the other blocks and made them wobble. The tower started to shake and tilt. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom cried. + +The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor. Lily and Tom were sad. They had worked hard to make the tower. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break it. I was not honest with you. I wanted to make the tower taller than you," Tom said. + +Lily looked at him. She was angry at first, but then she felt sorry for him. He looked sad and sorry. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You were honest with me now. That's what matters. We can build another tower together. And we can make it as tall as we want," she said. + +Tom smiled. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you." + +"I love you too, Tom. Come on, let's pick up the blocks and start again," she said. + +They cleaned up the mess and started to build a new tower. They had fun and shared the blocks. They were happy. They had learned a lesson. They had learned to be honest and gentle with each other. +Tom and Mia are playing with cards. They have many cards with animals on them. They want to match the cards that have the same animal. Tom has a card with a lion. He looks for another card with a lion. + +"Look, Mia, I have a lion!" Tom says. He shows his card to Mia. + +Mia has a card with a zebra. She sees another card with a zebra on the floor. She wants to pick it up and match it with her card. + +"Wait, Tom, I have a zebra!" Mia says. She points to the card on the floor. + +But before Mia can get the card, a big dog comes into the room. The dog sees the cards and thinks they are toys. He runs to the card on the floor and grabs it with his mouth. He shakes it and tears it. + +"Oh no, the dog has the zebra!" Mia cries. She is sad and scared. The dog is a threat to her cards. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Tom shouts. He tries to get the card from the dog. But the dog is stronger and faster. He runs away with the card. + +Tom and Mia are upset. They have lost one of their cards. They cannot match the zebra anymore. They look at their other cards. They are dirty and messy. The dog has made them dirty. + +"We need to clean our cards," Tom says. He gets a cloth and some water. He wipes the cards with the cloth. He makes them clean again. + +Mia helps him. She also wipes the cards with the cloth. She makes them clean again. + +They are happy. They have cleaned their cards. They can match them again. They forget about the dog and the zebra. They smile and hug. + +The end. +Tom and Sue like to fish with their dad. They have a big box with many hooks and worms. Dad shows them how to use the hook and the worm to catch a fish. He says, "Be careful with the hook. It is sharp and can hurt you." + +Tom and Sue nod and listen to dad. They put a worm on their hook and throw it in the water. They wait and watch for a fish to bite. Sue feels a tug on her line. She pulls hard and sees a big fish. She is happy and shouts, "Look, dad, I caught a fish!" + +Dad smiles and helps Sue to take the fish off the hook. He says, "Well done, Sue, that is a nice fish. You can keep it for dinner." Sue puts the fish in a bucket and thanks dad. + +Tom wants to catch a fish too. He is impatient and careless. He does not pay attention to his hook. He swings his line too fast and too close to his face. He feels a pain in his cheek. He screams and drops his rod. He has hooked himself. + +Dad hears Tom and runs to him. He sees the hook in Tom's cheek and feels sorry for him. He says, "Oh, Tom, you were careless with the hook. It is stuck in your cheek. Don't worry, I will take it out. It will hurt a little, but you will be fine." + +Dad takes out the hook and puts a bandage on Tom's cheek. He hugs Tom and says, "I'm sorry, Tom, you were unlucky. Next time, be more careful with the hook. It is not a toy. It is for catching fish, not for hurting yourself." + +Tom nods and says, "I'm sorry, dad, I was careless. I will be more careful next time. Can I still fish with you and Sue?" Dad says, "Of course, Tom, you can still fish with us. But first, let me kiss your cheek and make it better." +Ben and his wife Sue like to go to the lake. The lake is large and blue and has many fish. Ben likes to fish with his rod and his hook. Sue likes to soak her feet in the water and read her book. + +One day, Ben and Sue go to the lake. Ben finds a good spot to fish. He throws his hook in the water and waits. Sue sits on a big rock and puts her feet in the water. She opens her book and smiles. + +"Look, Sue, I caught a fish!" Ben says. He pulls his rod and shows Sue a small fish. Sue claps her hands and says, "Good job, Ben! That is a nice fish!" + +Ben puts the fish in a bucket and throws his hook again. He hopes to catch a bigger fish. Sue turns a page and reads her book. She feels the water on her feet and the sun on her face. She is happy. + +But then, something happens. Sue hears a splash and a scream. She looks up and sees Ben in the water. His rod is gone and his bucket is empty. A large fish has jumped out of the water and pulled Ben in. Sue is scared and drops her book. + +"Help, Sue, help!" Ben shouts. He tries to swim to the shore, but the fish is strong and fast. Sue runs to the water and tries to help Ben. She grabs his hand and pulls him out. The fish lets go and swims away. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Sue asks. She hugs him and checks him for bites. Ben is wet and cold and scared. He shakes his head and says, "No, Sue, I am not okay. That was a bad fish. It took my rod and my fish and my bucket. And it soaked me!" + +Sue feels sorry for Ben. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. That was a bad fish. But you are safe now. And you still have me. I am your wife and I love you." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Sue. You are my wife and I love you too. And you are right. I am safe now. But I don't want to fish anymore. Let's go home and dry off." + +Sue nods and says, "Okay, Ben. Let's go home and dry off. And maybe we can get a new rod and a new bucket and a new book. And maybe we can go to a different lake next time. A lake with no bad fish." + +Ben agrees and says, "Yes, Sue. That sounds good. A lake with no bad fish. And maybe a lake with no large fish either. Just small fish. Small fish are nice." + +Sue and Ben hold hands and walk to their car. They leave the lake and the bad fish behind. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bag near the slide. The bag is dark and has a zipper. + +"Look, a bag!" Tom says. "What is in it?" + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sam says. He runs to the bag and pulls the zipper. + +Tom follows him. He is curious too. He hopes there are toys or candy in the bag. + +But when they open the bag, they are scared. There is a mask in the bag. The mask is dark and has big teeth and red eyes. It looks like a monster. + +"Ah! A monster!" Tom screams. He runs away from the bag. + +Sam is scared too. But he is also brave. He picks up the mask and puts it on his face. He wants to scare Tom. + +"Roar! I am the monster!" Sam says. He runs after Tom. + +Tom hears Sam's voice. He turns around and sees Sam wearing the mask. He is not scared anymore. He knows it is Sam. + +He laughs. "You are not a monster. You are Sam. You are funny," Tom says. + +Sam laughs too. He takes off the mask. "You are right. I am Sam. I am not a monster. I am your friend," Sam says. + +They hug. They are happy. They play with the mask and the bag. They have fun. +Mila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then, a reindeer came out of the woods. He was hungry and he saw the carrot nose. He ran towards the snowman and bit the nose off. Mila and Ben were very angry. They shouted at the reindeer. + +"Hey, reindeer, that is our snowman's nose! Give it back!" Mila said. + +"No, it is my snack. It is yummy and crunchy. Go away!" the reindeer said. + +Mila and Ben did not go away. They picked up some snowballs and threw them at the reindeer. The reindeer dodged the snowballs and laughed. He was mighty and fast. He thought Mila and Ben were silly and weak. + +But then, something happened. The snowman's hat fell off and rolled on the ground. The reindeer saw the hat and thought it was another snack. He ran after the hat and left the carrot nose behind. Mila and Ben saw their chance. They ran to the snowman and put the nose back on. They also found a stick and put it in the snowman's hand. + +The reindeer came back with the hat in his mouth. He saw the snowman with the nose and the stick. He was surprised and scared. He thought the snowman was alive and angry. He dropped the hat and ran away. + +Mila and Ben cheered and hugged the snowman. They thanked him for saving their nose. They put the hat back on and gave him a smile. They were very happy with their snowman again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to gather rocks and sticks and make pretend houses and cars. One day, they saw a big pile of steel near the road. The steel was shiny and hard and had many shapes and colors. Lily and Tom wanted to use the steel for their play. + +"Look, Tom, we can make a modern house with the steel!" Lily said. + +"Yes, and a modern car too!" Tom said. + +They ran to the pile of steel and started to pick up some pieces. They did not see the sign that said "Danger, do not touch". + +A man who worked on the road saw them and shouted. "Hey, kids, get away from there! That steel is not for play, it is for building a bridge. It is heavy and sharp and can hurt you!" + +But Lily and Tom did not hear him. They were too busy with their play. They tried to lift a big piece of steel, but it was too heavy. It slipped from their hands and fell on their feet. Lily and Tom screamed in pain. They had cuts and bruises and blood on their feet. + +The man ran to them and called for help. He wrapped their feet with his shirt and tried to calm them down. He was angry and sad. He wished they had listened to him. + +Lily and Tom cried and wished they had not touched the steel. They had ruined their play and hurt themselves. They learned a hard lesson. The steel was not for play, it was for work. +Sara loves to visit her grandpa on his farm. He has many animals, but her favorite is the old horse, Brownie. Brownie is gentle and friendly, and lets Sara feed him carrots and apples. + +One day, Sara and her grandpa are walking to the barn, when they see a big truck parked outside. Two men are loading Brownie into the truck. Sara is scared and sad. She runs to the truck and shouts, "Stop! That's my horse! Don't take him away!" + +The men look at Sara and her grandpa. One of them says, "Sorry, kid, but we have to. Your grandpa sold us this horse. He's too old to work on the farm. We're taking him to a new home." + +Sara looks at her grandpa with tears in her eyes. She doesn't understand why he would do that. She loves Brownie. She hugs his neck and whispers, "Please, grandpa, don't let them take him. He's my friend." + +Her grandpa kneels down and hugs her too. He says, "I know, Sara, I know. But Brownie is old and tired. He needs a place where he can rest and be happy. The men are nice. They have a big field where Brownie can run and play with other horses. He'll be better off there." + +Sara sniffles and nods. She knows her grandpa loves her and Brownie. She gives Brownie one last kiss and says, "Goodbye, Brownie. I'll miss you. Be good and have fun." + +The men smile and thank Sara and her grandpa. They close the truck door and drive away. Sara and her grandpa wave goodbye. Then they go back to the farm and have some cookies and milk. Sara still feels sad, but she also feels happy that Brownie will be happy too. She hopes to see him again someday. +Tim was a chubby boy who liked to eat a lot of cake and candy. He did not like to run or play with other kids, because he felt tired and slow. He only wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV all day. + +One day, his mom told him that he had to go to the doctor for a check-up. Tim did not want to go, because he was afraid of the doctor and the needles. He cried and begged his mom to let him stay home, but she said no. She said he had to take care of his health and listen to the doctor. + +At the doctor's office, Tim had to step on a big scale that showed how much he weighed. The doctor looked at the number and frowned. He said that Tim was too heavy for his age and height, and that he had to eat less and move more. He said that being chubby was not good for his heart, his lungs, or his bones. He said that Tim had to change his habits or he would get sick. + +Tim felt angry and sad. He did not like what the doctor said. He did not want to change his habits. He liked his cake and candy and TV. He thought the doctor was mean and wrong. He cried and yelled at the doctor, and said that he hated him. + +The doctor was not happy with Tim's behavior. He said that Tim was rude and spoiled, and that he needed to learn some manners and respect. He said that Tim had to apologize or he would not give him a sticker. He said that Tim had to grow up and be responsible. + +Tim did not listen to the doctor. He did not apologize or say sorry. He did not want a sticker. He only wanted to go home and eat more cake and candy and watch more TV. He cried and kicked and screamed until his mom took him away. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that being chubby can have negative consequences for one's health and well-being, and that one should eat healthy and exercise regularly. It also teaches that one should be polite and respectful to others, especially to those who are trying to help. It shows that crying and throwing tantrums is not a good way to solve problems or get what one wants. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their dad. They saw a big hill with snow on it. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. Their dad said, "Be careful, it is icy and slippery." + +Ben and Lily put on their hats and gloves and got on their sleds. They pushed off and zoomed down the hill. They felt the cold wind on their faces and the snow in their hair. They laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +But at the bottom of the hill, there was a big pile of leaves. Ben and Lily did not see it. They crashed into the leaves and flew off their sleds. They landed on something hard and bony. They looked and saw a skeleton. It was a skeleton of a cow. It had horns and a tail and big teeth. It was scary. + +Ben and Lily screamed and ran back to their dad. They told him what they saw. Their dad said, "Don't worry, it is just an old skeleton. It was a cow that lived on the farm long ago. It died and the leaves covered it. It can't hurt you." + +Ben and Lily felt better, but they did not want to slide down the hill again. They decided to play in the snow instead. They made a snowman and a snow fort. They threw snowballs at each other. They had fun. + +But they did not forget the skeleton. They told their friends about it. They said, "We saw a skeleton in the park. It was big and scary. It had horns and a tail and big teeth. We struck it with our sleds. It was icy and cold." Their friends said, "Wow, that is cool. Can we see it?" Ben and Lily said, "Maybe, but be careful. It is icy and slippery." +Lila and Tom were playing with their new toy. It was a big ball that looked like a planet. It had many colors and shapes on it. They liked to roll it, spin it and bounce it. + +"Look, Lila, I can make it go very fast!" Tom said. He pushed the ball hard and it rolled across the room. + +"Wow, Tom, you are very strong!" Lila said. She ran after the ball and tried to catch it. But the ball was too fast and it hit the wall. + +"Uh-oh, Lila, look what happened!" Tom said. He pointed to the ball. It was not big anymore. It was very small. It had shrunk. + +"What did you do, Tom?" Lila asked. She was angry and sad. She liked the big ball. She picked up the small ball and held it in her hand. + +"I don't know, Lila, I'm sorry!" Tom said. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to make the ball shrink. + +They heard a loud voice. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the small ball. + +"What is this, Lila and Tom?" she asked. She was not happy. She was mad. + +"This is our toy, mom. It was a big ball that looked like a planet. But Tom made it shrink!" Lila said. + +"I did not, Lila, it was an accident!" Tom said. + +"I don't care who did it, this is not a toy, this is a globe! It was a gift from your grandma. She was very proud of it. She wanted you to learn about the world. How could you be so careless and break it?" mom said. + +She took the small ball from Lila and put it on the shelf. She told Lila and Tom to go to their room and think about what they did. She said they were in big trouble. + +Lila and Tom felt very bad. They did not know it was a globe. They did not know it was a gift. They did not know it was important. They just wanted to play. They wished they could make the ball big again. They wished they could make mom happy again. They wished they could say sorry to grandma. But they could not. They had shrunk the planet. And they had shrunk their mom's love. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But one day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and growling at them. Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They wanted to run away, but they did not know where to go. + +The dog came closer and closer to them. Tom and Lily held each other's hands and tried to be brave. They hoped that someone would help them. Then, they saw a man with a leash. The man was the owner of the dog. He called the dog's name and told him to stop. The dog listened to the man and stopped barking and growling. The man came to Tom and Lily and said he was sorry. He said his dog was not mean, but he was just excited to see new people. He said his dog wanted to play, not to hurt them. + +Tom and Lily felt relieved and happy. They thanked the man for saving them. They also petted the dog and said hello to him. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was friendly and gentle. Tom and Lily realized that they had judged the dog too quickly. They learned that they should not be afraid of things that they do not know. They also learned that they should be kind and respectful to animals. They felt peaceful and grateful. They had a new friend in the park. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big well with a bucket and a rope. They wanted to see what was inside the well. + +"Let me look first," said Ben. He pulled the rope and lifted the bucket. He leaned over the well and tried to see the water. + +"No, me first," said Lila. She was angry. She pushed Ben hard. Ben lost his balance and fell into the well. He screamed. + +"Help, help, I'm in the well!" + +Lila was scared. She did not mean to push Ben. She did not know what to do. She ran to the house and looked for Mama. + +"Mama, Mama, Ben is in the well!" she cried. + +Mama was shocked. She ran to the well with Lila. She saw Ben hanging on to the rope. He was wet and cold and scared. + +"Ben, Ben, hold on, I'm here," said Mama. She pulled the rope and lifted Ben out of the well. She hugged him and dried him with a towel. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. + +"I'm okay, Mama, but I'm sorry," said Ben. + +"Sorry for what, Ben?" asked Mama. + +"Sorry for wanting to look first. It was not nice," said Ben. + +Lila felt sorry too. She came closer to Ben and Mama. + +"I'm sorry too, Ben. I'm sorry for pushing you. It was not good," said Lila. + +Ben looked at Lila and smiled. + +"It's okay, Lila. I forgive you. We are still friends," said Ben. + +Mama was proud of Ben and Lila. She kissed them both. + +"You are both wise children. You learned a lesson today. Never push anyone, and never go near the well. It is dangerous," said Mama. + +Ben and Lila nodded. They hugged Mama and each other. They went back to the house and played with their toys. They did not fight anymore. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing outside after the rain. They see a big puddle on the grass. Sara wants to jump in it, but Ben does not. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara says. "You can splash and make noise!" + +"No, Sara, it is disgusting!" Ben says. "The water is dirty and muddy. It will make your shoes and clothes wet and dirty too!" + +Sara does not care. She runs to the puddle and jumps in it. She laughs and splashes. Ben watches her and shakes his head. + +Then Sara sees something shiny in the puddle. She bends down to pick it up. It is a coin. She is happy. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a coin!" Sara says. "It is shiny and round. Maybe it is lucky!" + +Ben is curious. He walks to the puddle and looks at the coin. He wants to see it too. + +But as he walks, he does not see a stick on the ground. He trips over it and falls into the puddle. He gets wet and muddy. He is not happy. He cries. + +Sara hears him and runs to him. She helps him get up. She gives him the coin. + +"Here, Ben, you can have the coin," Sara says. "Maybe it will make you feel better. I am sorry you fell." + +Ben takes the coin and looks at it. He smiles a little. He says thank you to Sara. + +They walk back to the house. They are wet and muddy. They need to change their clothes. + +But before they go inside, they see a seesaw on the yard. They want to play on it. They run to it and sit on each end. They try to balance. They go up and down. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the puddle. They are friends. +Lila was miserable. She had no friends to play with. She had no toys to have fun with. She had no cake to eat. She only had a mean aunt who made her work all day. Lila wished she had a fairy to help her. + +One night, Lila saw a bright light outside her window. She ran to see what it was. She saw a tiny fairy with wings and a wand. The fairy smiled at her and said, "Hello, little girl. I am here to grant you a wish. What do you want?" + +Lila was so happy. She thought of all the things she wanted. She wanted friends, toys, cake, and a nice aunt. She said, "I want to be happy. I want to have everything I need. Please, fairy, make my wish come true." + +The fairy nodded and said, "Very well. I will grant you your wish. But you have to do something for me first. You have to call me your friend and give me a hug." + +Lila agreed. She called the fairy her friend and gave her a hug. The fairy hugged her back and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. Now, close your eyes and count to three. Then, you will have your wish." + +Lila closed her eyes and counted to three. She opened them and saw nothing. The fairy was gone. The light was gone. The window was gone. The room was gone. Lila was gone. The fairy had tricked her. The fairy had taken her away. The fairy had made her miserable. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a stream. The stream was clear and cool. They wanted to drink some water. + +But there was a frog near the stream. The frog was big and ugly. It had warts and bumps on its skin. It croaked loudly. The frog did not like Sara and Tom. It wanted the stream for itself. + +Sara and Tom were scared of the frog. They tried to go around it. But the frog jumped in front of them. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It said, "This is my stream. You cannot have any water. Go away or I will bite you." + +Sara and Tom did not know what to do. They were thirsty and tired. They needed some water. They begged the frog to let them drink. They said, "Please, Mr. Frog, can we have some water? We are very thirsty. We will not bother you. We will be your friends." + +But the frog did not care. It was mean and selfish. It said, "No, you cannot have any water. This is my stream. You are not my friends. You are intruders. I will bite you if you come closer." + +Sara and Tom were very sad and afraid. They did not want to be bitten by the frog. They turned around and ran away. They did not get any water. They were still thirsty and tired. They cried and wished they had never seen the stream. They wished they had never met the frog. The frog was happy. It had the stream all to itself. It croaked and laughed. It did not care about Sara and Tom. It was a bad frog. It was a bad day. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big sack hanging from a tree. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, don't!" Anna said. She was careful and scared. "It might be something bad!" + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed the tree and pulled the sack. He heard a loud buzz. He saw many angry bees flying out of the sack. It was a hive! + +"Help!" Ben shouted. He jumped down and ran away. The bees chased him and stung him. He cried and hurt. + +Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry and kind. She helped him go inside the house. She gave him some ice and honey. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Next time, listen to me. Don't touch things you don't know. Bees like to be peaceful in their hive. They don't like to be disturbed." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You were right. I was silly and rude. I won't do it again. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Let's play something else tomorrow. Something safe and fun." + +They hugged and said, "I love you." They felt better and happy. +Sam and Mia were playing in the sand near the sea. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They also liked to look at the fish and shells in the water. + +"Look, Sam, I found a big shell!" Mia said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It is so pretty and soft!" + +"Wow, Mia, that is a nice shell!" Sam said. "Can I see it?" + +Mia gave Sam the shell. He felt it with his fingers and put it to his ear. He heard a soft sound, like the sea. + +"Can I have it back, Sam?" Mia asked. "It is mine, I found it first." + +Sam liked the shell too much. He wanted to keep it. He shook his head and said, "No, Mia, it is mine now. I like it more than you." + +Mia was angry. She tried to grab the shell from Sam, but he held it tight. They pulled and pushed, but neither of them would let go. + +"Stop, Sam, stop!" Mia cried. "You are hurting me!" + +"Stop, Mia, stop!" Sam yelled. "You are hurting me too!" + +They paused. They looked at each other. They saw tears in their eyes and scratches on their hands. They felt sorry and sad. + +They remembered that they were friends. They did not want to fight over a shell. They wanted to play and have fun. + +They let go of the shell. They hugged and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Sam. You are my friend. I love you." + +They smiled and wiped their tears. They picked up the shell together and put it in their bucket. They decided to share it and look for more shells. + +They ran to the water and saw a reef. They saw many fish and corals of different colors. They were happy and curious. They forgot about their fight and enjoyed their adventure. +Tom and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play hide and seek in the house. One day, they play when Mom is not home. Tom is the seeker and Jen is the hider. Jen runs to the kitchen and looks for a good spot. She sees a big gray pan on the stove. She thinks it is a good spot to hide. She climbs on a chair and gets inside the pan. She pulls the lid over her head. + +Tom counts to ten and starts to look for Jen. He looks in the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, but he cannot find her. He goes to the kitchen and sees the pan on the stove. He thinks Jen is not there. He does not know the pan is hot. He turns on the stove to make some soup. He does not hear Jen scream. + +Mom comes home and smells something burning. She runs to the kitchen and sees smoke and fire. She turns off the stove and grabs the pan. She opens the lid and sees Jen. Jen is very hurt and sad. Mom is very scared and angry. She calls for help and cries. Tom is very sorry and ashamed. He wishes he did not turn on the stove. He wishes he found Jen sooner. He wishes they did not play hide and seek. +Lily and Max were at the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. The truck stopped and a man came out. He had a big smile and a hat. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want some ice cream?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max said. + +The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream on top. Lily chose chocolate and Max chose vanilla. They licked their cones and felt happy. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids! Enjoy your ice cream!" the man said. + +Lily and Max saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. They wanted to join them. They ran to the playground with their cones. + +"Hi, can we play with you?" Lily asked a girl with a red dress. + +"Sure, what's your name?" the girl asked. + +"I'm Lily and this is my brother Max. We have ice cream!" Lily said. + +"Wow, your ice cream looks yummy! I'm Anna. Do you want to swing with me?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, I love swinging!"

Max asked. + +"Sure, what's your name?" the boy asked. + +"I'm Max and this is my ice cream! I have vanilla!" Max said. + +"Wow, your ice cream looks attractive! I'm Leo. Do you want to kick the ball with me?" Leo asked. + +"Yes, I love kicking!" Max said. + +They went to the grass and kicked the ball. They cheered and had fun. + +Lily and Max played with Anna and Leo until their ice cream was gone. They were very happy. They said goodbye to their new friends and hugged them. + +"Bye, Lily and Max! You are very nice!" Anna and Leo said. + +"Bye, Anna and Leo! You are very fun!" Lily and Max said. + +They ran back to their mom. She was sitting on a bench and reading a book. She looked at them and smiled. + +"Did you have a good time, kids?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom! We had ice cream and we made new friends!" Lily and Max said. + +"That's wonderful, kids! I'm proud of you!" mom said. + +She hugged them and kissed them. She gave them a big clap. + +"Let's applaud for Lily and Max! They are very good kids!" mom said. + +Lily and Max felt very happy. They clapped for themselves and for their mom. They loved their mom and their mom loved them. They had a great day at the park. +One day, Anna and her daddy went to the park. They saw a big puzzle on the ground. It had many pieces of different colors and shapes. Anna liked puzzles. She wanted to solve it with her daddy. + +They picked up some pieces and tried to fit them together. They looked at the picture on the box. It was a picture of a farm with animals and plants. Anna saw a piece with a cow on it. She looked for another piece with a cow. She found one and put them together. She was cheerful. + +Daddy saw a piece with a tractor on it. He looked for another piece with a tractor. He found one and put them together. He was cheerful too. They kept finding and fitting pieces until they solved the puzzle. They made the whole picture of the farm. + +They were very happy and proud. They hugged each other and smiled. They showed the puzzle to the other people in the park. The other people clapped and said, "Well done, Anna and daddy! You solved the puzzle!" Anna and her daddy felt even more cheerful. They had fun at the park. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big rod near the pond. It is long and brown and hard. + +"Look, a rod!" Tom says. "We can paint it!" + +"Yes, let's paint it!" Lila says. "I have some paint in my bag. What color do you want?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes blue and green. "How about blue and green stripes?" he suggests. + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Lila agrees. She takes out her paint and brushes. They start to paint the rod. They make blue and green stripes all over it. + +They are very happy with their painting. They think it looks beautiful. They put the rod on the grass and sit next to it. They feel comfortable and proud. + +"Wow, we did a great job!" Tom says. + +"Yes, we did!" Lila says. "This is our rod now. We can use it for many things. We can pretend it is a snake, or a sword, or a magic wand!" + +They giggle and hug each other. They love their rod and their friendship. They have a lot of fun with their painting. +Lily liked to play with her lamp. It was brilliant and shiny and made funny shapes on the wall. She would turn it on and off and on and off and giggle. But her mom did not like it when she did that. She said it was bad for the lamp and the power and Lily's eyes. + +One day, Lily was playing with her lamp again. She did not hear her mom call her for lunch. She was too busy making the lamp blink and flash. She did not see her mom come into her room. She only heard her voice. + +"Lily, stop that right now! You are wasting electricity and hurting your lamp. How many times do I have to tell you? Turn it off and come to the table. Now!" + +Lily did not want to stop. She liked her lamp. She liked the light. She did not like lunch. She did not like her mom. She said, "No! I want to play with my lamp. It is mine. Go away!" + +Her mom was angry. She reached for the lamp to turn it off. But Lily was faster. She grabbed the lamp and pulled it away. She did not see the cord. She did not see the plug. She did not see the spark. + +The lamp fell to the floor. The cord snapped. The plug sparked. The spark hit the curtain. The curtain caught fire. The fire spread. The room filled with smoke. Lily screamed. Her mom screamed. The lamp was gone. The room was gone. The house was gone. Lily was sorry. But it was too late. +Lily liked to test things. She liked to see what would happen if she mixed colors, or made noises, or touched different things. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big pond. In the pond, there were many ducks and one swan. The swan was white and had a long neck and a big beak. Lily thought it was very pretty and mysterious. + +She wanted to test the swan. She asked her mom if she could go near it. Her mom said yes, but to be careful and not scare it. Lily walked slowly to the edge of the pond and held out her hand. She hoped the swan would come to her and let her touch it. She wondered what it would feel like. Would it be soft or hard? Would it be warm or cold? Would it make a sound? + +The swan saw Lily and swam towards her. It looked curious and friendly. It reached its neck and touched Lily's hand with its beak. Lily felt a gentle tickle and a wetness. She giggled and smiled. The swan made a soft noise and nodded its head. Lily felt happy and brave. She had tested the swan and made a new friend. She said thank you to the swan and waved goodbye. She ran back to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was proud of her. Lily felt proud too. She had learned something new and had fun. She liked to test things. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It had a long rope and a metal thing at the end. Mom said it was an anchor. It helped the boat stay in one place. + +Tom and Lily wanted to see the anchor up close. They ran to the water and tried to pull the rope. But it was too heavy and hard. They could not move it at all. They heard a loud horn from the boat. A man was waving at them. He looked angry. + +"Stop! Stop! That is my anchor! You can't touch it! It is dangerous!" he shouted. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They let go of the rope and ran back to the sand. Mom and dad came to them. They looked worried. + +"What were you doing?" mom asked. + +"We wanted to see the anchor," Tom said. + +"But you can't do that," dad said. "The anchor belongs to the boat. It is not a toy. It could hurt you or make the boat move. You have to respect other people's things." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They said sorry to the man on the boat. He said it was okay. He said he was glad they were safe. He said the anchor was very important for his job. He was a fisherman. He caught fish and sold them at the market. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and polite. They learned not to touch what was not theirs. They learned to listen to their mom and dad. They had a mild day at the beach. They played with their own toys and had fun. They thanked the man for his fish and said goodbye. They went home happy and smart. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. One day, they find a new game in their room. It is a massage mat. It has soft bumps and buttons that make sounds. + +Lily wants to try the massage mat first. She lies down on it and presses a button. The mat makes a funny noise and tickles her back. She laughs and says, "This is fun!" Ben watches her and feels envious. He wants to lie on the mat too. He says, "Lily, pass me the mat. It is my turn." + +Lily says, "No, Ben. I am not done yet. You have to wait." She presses another button and the mat makes a different noise. Ben gets angry and tries to pull the mat from under Lily. Lily holds on to the mat and says, "Stop, Ben. You are hurting me." They start to tug and shout. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the massage mat. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are supposed to share and be nice to each other. The massage mat is for both of you. Why don't you take turns and give each other a massage?" + +Lily and Ben stop fighting and look at Mom. They feel sorry for being mean. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." Mom smiles and says, "That's OK. Now, why don't you try to make each other happy with the massage mat? Lily, you can pass the mat to Ben and give him a massage. Then, Ben, you can pass the mat to Lily and give her a massage. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom." They do what Mom says and take turns with the massage mat. They give each other gentle massages and make each other laugh with the funny noises. They feel relaxed and happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Ben." Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you are having fun and being kind to each other. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk." They hug Mom and follow her to the kitchen. They are no longer envious, but grateful. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make a cake for dad's birthday. Mom gave her a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "You can mix the flour and the eggs, Anna. But first, you need to wear an apron." + +Anna looked for an apron in the drawer. She saw many aprons. Some were red, some were blue, some had flowers, some had dots. She wanted to pick a pretty one. But then she saw a filthy apron. It was brown and had stains and holes. It looked very old and ugly. + +Anna wondered who wore the filthy apron. She asked mom, "Mom, whose apron is this? It is very dirty and bad. Why do you keep it?" + +Mom smiled and took the filthy apron. She said, "This was your grandma's apron, Anna. She used to wear it when she baked cakes for me and your uncles. She loved this apron very much. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. I keep it to remember her." + +Anna felt sorry for mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. Can I wear grandma's apron? I want to make her happy too." + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "Of course, you can, Anna. You are very sweet and kind. Grandma would be proud of you. Let's make the cake together." She tied the filthy apron around Anna's waist and kissed her cheek. Anna smiled and started to mix the flour and the eggs. She felt happy and warm. She hoped dad would like the cake. +Lily and Sam went to the big water with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and shells and boats. They liked to splash and swim and play. Lily saw a big gray fish with a smile. It was a dolphin. She wanted to say hello. + +She swam to the dolphin and touched its skin. It was smooth and wet. The dolphin made a funny sound and moved its tail. Lily laughed and hugged the dolphin. Sam came too and they both petted the dolphin. The dolphin liked them and stayed with them. + +But the water was cold and Lily and Sam started to shiver. They were thin and had no fur like the dolphin. Mom and Dad saw them and called them. They said it was time to go. Lily and Sam said goodbye to the dolphin and thanked it for being their friend. They went back to the shore and wrapped themselves in warm towels. They were happy and warm. They hoped to see the dolphin again. +Anna loves her plant. She gives it water and sun every day. She talks to it and sings to it. She calls it Lily. + +One day, Anna sees a big bug on Lily. The bug is eating Lily's leaves. Lily looks sad and helpless. Anna is scared and angry. She wants to save Lily from the bug. + +Anna runs to her mom and says, "Mom, mom, help! A bug is hurting Lily! Lily is my plant and my friend!" + +Mom follows Anna to the plant. She sees the bug and says, "Oh, no! That is a bad bug. It is called a caterpillar. It likes to eat plants. We have to stop it." + +Mom gets a jar and a lid. She carefully picks up the caterpillar and puts it in the jar. She closes the lid and says, "There, now the caterpillar cannot eat Lily anymore. We will take it outside and find a new home for it. Maybe it will become a butterfly someday." + +Anna hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom! You are the best! You saved Lily!" She looks at her plant and says, "Don't worry, Lily. You are safe now. I will take care of you. You are my plant and my friend." +Tom was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He liked to look at the big factory near his house. He wondered what was inside. + +One day, he saw a small door in the factory wall. He was curious. He walked to the door and opened it. He entered the factory. + +Inside, he saw many machines and people. They were making things. He saw toys, clothes, books and more. He was amazed. He wanted to touch everything. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" a loud voice said. Tom turned and saw a man in a blue suit. He looked angry. Tom was scared. + +"I-I-I just wanted to see," Tom said. + +"You can't be here. This is not a place for kids. It's dangerous. You could get hurt. Come with me. I'll take you out," the man said. + +He grabbed Tom's hand and led him to the door. Tom felt sad. He wished he could stay and play with the things. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom said. + +"Don't be sorry. Just be careful. And don't come back here. Go home and play with your own toys," the man said. + +He pushed Tom out of the door and closed it. Tom walked back to his house. He was still lonely. He wished he had a friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the park with their moms. The park has swings, slides, and a sandbox. + +"Look, Anna, a big slide!"

They dig and make sand castles. + +Anna and Ben enjoy playing in the park. They have fun with the ordinary things. They are happy.

They were very happy and excited. + +They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. Ben said, "Let's eat first, then we can play with the ball." Lily nodded and smiled. + +Ben opened the basket and took out the bread and cheese. He cut them into pieces and put them on a plate. He said, "I will serve you, Lily. What do you want?" Lily said, "I want some bread and cheese, please." Ben gave her some and took some for himself. They ate and drank and enjoyed the picnic. + +After they finished eating, they put the plate and the basket back in the blanket. They took the ball and started to play. They threw the ball to each other and ran and laughed. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a grumpy dog coming towards them. The dog was big and black and had a loud bark. It looked angry and hungry. It saw the blanket and the basket and ran to them. It grabbed the basket with its teeth and shook it. The bread and cheese and fruit and juice fell out and got dirty. The dog ate some and made a mess. + +Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They shouted, "No, no, stop, bad dog!" They tried to get the basket back, but the dog was too strong and fast. It ran away with the basket and the ball. Ben and Lily were left with nothing but the blanket and the plate. + +They cried and hugged each other. They did not want to play anymore.

It will help me see if you need glasses." + +Sam and Ben are curious. They want to see the test. Mom says they have to wait until they find a good spot. + +They walk around the park and see many things. They see birds and flowers and swings and slides. They also see a lemonade stand. Sam and Ben love lemonade. They ask Mom if they can have some. + +"Sure, but only one cup each," Mom says. "And then we will do the test." + +Sam and Ben run to the stand and buy two cups of lemonade. They are very thirsty. They hold the cups and drink. But something is wrong. The lemonade is very sour. It makes their faces twist and their tongues hurt. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. "This is not good lemonade!" + +"Maybe they forgot the sugar," Ben says. + +They look at the stand and see a sign. It says: "Sour Lemonade Challenge. Can you drink it all?" + +Sam and Ben realize they have been tricked. They do not like the challenge. They want to spit out the sour lemonade.

They feel proud of themselves. + +They go back to Mom and show her their empty cups. Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"Wow, you did it!" she says. "You drank the sour lemonade. That was very brave of you. And you know what? You just passed the test." + +Sam and Ben are confused. They look at the bag. They do not see any test. + +"What test?" they ask. + +"The test for your eyes," Mom says. "The test was the sign. If you could read it, it means your eyes are good. And you both read it. You do not need glasses." + +Sam and Ben are happy. They do not need glasses. And they passed the test. They learned something new. And they also learned to never trust sour lemonade. +Anna liked to play with her grandma's bracelet. It was shiny and had many colors. Grandma said it was ancient. That meant it was very old and came from a far place. Anna wanted to know more about the bracelet. + +One day, Anna asked grandma to tell her a story about the bracelet. Grandma smiled and took Anna to the couch. She put the bracelet on Anna's wrist and said, "This bracelet was a gift from my grandma, who got it from her grandma, who got it from her grandma, and so on. It has been in our family for a long time." + +Anna looked at the bracelet and felt happy. She asked, "Where did the first grandma get the bracelet from?" Grandma said, "She got it from a kind man who traveled a lot. He said he found the bracelet in a big city that had many buildings and people. He said the city was very old and had a lot of history. He said the bracelet was made by people who knew how to make beautiful things with metal and stones." + +Anna was amazed. She said, "Wow, that sounds like a wonderful place. I wish I could see it."

She holds her spot dog tight and turns away from Ben. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks, "That is not fair. Anna is not a good friend. She does not share. I will take her spot dog when she is not looking." He waits for Anna to put down her spot dog. Then he runs and grabs it. He says, "Ha ha, now I have the spot dog. He is mine now." + +Anna sees Ben take her spot dog. She cries and says, "Give me back my spot dog. You are a bad friend. You are a thief."

The spot dog is broken. Anna and Ben are both sad and sorry. They have no spot dog to play with. They have no friend to play with. They feel cold and lonely. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. If you share your toys, you will have more fun and more friends. If you are greedy and selfish, you will lose your toys and your friends.

It was round and brown and had white cream on top. They asked their mom what it was, and she said it was a donut. Tim and Sue wanted to try it, but their mom said they could only have one pastry each. + +Tim and Sue had to discuss which pastry to choose. Tim liked the donut, because it looked fun and tasty. Sue liked the croissant, because it was flaky and buttery. They both thought the other pastry looked good too, but they could not agree on which one to share. + +While they were discussing, they saw an elderly lady come into the bakery.

One day, they find a big box of prunes on the table. Prunes are sweet and chewy. Tim and Liz want to eat them all. + +But Mom says, "No, you can't eat them all. They are for Grandma. She is coming to visit us. You can have one each, but no more." + +Tim and Liz are sad. They love Grandma, but they love prunes too. They sneak back to the table when Mom is not looking. They take two prunes each and hide them in their pockets. + +Then they go to the swing. They swing high and low. They laugh and sing.

We won't do it again." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn. Prunes are good, but too many are bad. You have to share and be honest. And you have to stretch before you swing. It's good for your muscles." + +Tim and Liz nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We will stretch and share and be honest. And we will say sorry to Grandma too." + +They go to their room and change. They wash their faces and hands. They stretch their arms and legs. They feel better. They are ready to see Grandma and give her a hug. And maybe one prune each. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tim had a toy snake that he liked to wrap around his arm and scare Lily. Lily had a toy mouse that she liked to hide under the sofa and make squeak. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big snake!" Tim said, holding his toy snake in front of Lily's face. "It can bite you and make you sick!" + +Lily was not afraid of Tim's snake. She knew it was harmless and made of plastic. She smiled and said, "No, Tim, your snake is not big. It is very small. See, it is only an inch long!" She took a ruler and measured Tim's snake. "My mouse is bigger than your snake!" + +Tim was not happy that Lily said his snake was small. He wanted to have the biggest and scariest toy. He said, "No, Lily, your mouse is not bigger. It is very tiny. See, it can fit in my hand!" He grabbed Lily's mouse and held it up. "My snake can eat your mouse!" + +Lily was not happy that Tim took her mouse. She wanted to have her toy back. She said, "No, Tim, give me my mouse! It is mine and I love it!" She reached for her mouse and tried to pull it from Tim's hand. + +Tim and Lily started to tug and pull on the mouse. They both wanted to have it and did not want to share. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. She saw them fighting and decided to teach them a lesson. + +She came into the living room and said, "Tim, Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy? Don't you know that toys are for playing, not for hurting?" She took the mouse and the snake from their hands and said, "If you can't play nicely with your toys, then you can't have them at all. I will wrap them up and put them away until you learn to share and be kind." + +Tim and Lily were sad and sorry. They did not want to lose their toys. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were silly and mean. Please, can we have our toys back? We will share and be nice." + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to show me that you mean it. How about you wrap up one of your toys and give it to the other as a present? Then you can say thank you and play together." + +Tim and Lily thought that was a good idea. They said, "OK, Mom, we will do that." They took some paper and tape and wrapped up their toys. Then they gave them to each other and said, "Here, this is for you. I'm sorry for being mean. Thank you for being my friend." + +Mom was proud of Tim and Lily. She said, "That's very nice of you. I'm happy that you are friends. Now you can play with your toys and have fun. But remember, be gentle and careful with them. They are harmless, but they are not real. They are only toys." +Sara and Ben love spring. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers grow.

This is the most expensive dress ever!" + +Daddy smiled and said, "You're welcome, my sweet girl. I'm glad you like it. But remember, expensive things are not the most important things.

They make a purple-green butterfly, a yellow-blue bird, and a red-orange sun. They fill the paper with twisty colors. They are happy and proud. + +They show their pictures to their mom. She smiles and hugs them. + +"What a beautiful art!" she says. "You are very creative!" + +Lila and Max beam. They love pastels. They love twisting them. They love making new colors. They love their mom. They love each other. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a shiny thing in the dirt. It was a copper coin. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, I found a copper!" + +Sam wanted the copper too. He said, "No, it's mine! Give it to me!" He tried to grab the copper from Tom's hand. + +Tom did not want to share. He said, "No, it's mine! I found it first!" He slapped Sam's hand away. + +Sam was angry. He slapped Tom's face. Tom cried out and dropped the copper. + +A huge dog heard the noise. It ran to the garden and saw the copper. It thought it was a bone. It snatched the copper in its mouth and ran away. + +Tom and Sam stopped fighting. They looked at the dog and the copper. They felt sad and sorry. They hugged each other and said, "We should have shared the copper. Now we have nothing." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom says. "Do you want to talk to us?" + +Anna laughs. "Snowmen can't talk, Tom. They are made of snow. Snow is cold and quiet." + +Tom is sad. He wants to talk to the snowman. He thinks the snowman is lonely. He has an idea. + +"Maybe we can make him talk with magic," he says. "We can pretend we are wizards and say a magic word." + +Anna is flexible. She likes to pretend too. She nods and smiles. + +"OK, Tom. What is the magic word?" + +Tom thinks hard. He remembers a word he heard on TV. He says it loud and clear. + +"Abracadabra!" + +Suddenly, the snowman moves his mouth. He says in a deep voice, "Hello, Tom and Anna. Thank you for making me. You are very kind and clever." + +Tom and Anna are surprised and happy. They clap their hands and hug the snowman. + +"Wow, it worked!" Tom says. "You can talk, Mr. Snowman!" + +"Yes, I can," the snowman says. "But only for a little while. The magic will wear off soon. So let's talk and have fun while we can." + +Tom and Anna agree. They talk and have fun with the snowman. They tell him stories and jokes. They ask him questions and listen to his answers. They sing songs and dance with him. They are very happy. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are playing with a big box of shapes. They like to make different things with the shapes, like houses, cars, and animals. But there is one shape that they cannot use. It is a star shape, and it is locked in a small box with a key. + +"Who has the key?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe Mom or Dad." + +They look around the room, but they cannot find the key. They try to open the box with their fingers, but it is too hard. They try to hit the box with a hammer, but it is too loud. They try to shake the box, but nothing happens. + +"I want the star shape!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "It is the best shape!" + +They are sad and angry. They do not want to play with the other shapes anymore. They sit on the floor and pout. + +Then they hear a voice. It is their big brother, Sam. He is holding the key in his hand. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Sam asks. + +"We want the star shape!" Anna and Ben say together. + +Sam laughs. He says, "This is my key. I found it in the closet. It is for my secret box. The star shape is mine!" + +He puts the key in the box and turns it. He unlocks the box and opens it. He takes out the star shape and holds it up. + +"See?" he says. "It is so cool and sparkly!" + +Anna and Ben look at the star shape. They want it very much. They get up and run to Sam. They try to grab the star shape from him, but he is too fast. He runs away from them. + +"Stop!" Anna and Ben shout. "Give us the star shape!" + +They chase Sam around the room. They are not sad and angry anymore. They are having fun. They laugh and scream. + +Sam is not having fun. He is tired and scared. He is not fast enough. He is weak. He trips and falls. He drops the star shape. It rolls on the floor. + +Anna and Ben see the star shape. They run to it and pick it up. They are happy. They hug the star shape and each other. + +"Yay!" Anna and Ben say. "We have the star shape!" + +They look at Sam. He is lying on the floor. He is sad and angry. He does not have the star shape anymore. + +"Sorry, Sam," Anna and Ben say. "Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam thinks for a moment. He says, "Okay. But can I have the star shape sometimes?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Sure. We can share the star shape. It is more fun that way." + +They smile and give Sam the star shape. He smiles too. He says, "Thank you. You are nice." + +They all get up and go to the big box of shapes. They make different things with the shapes, like houses, cars, and animals. And they use the star shape too. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to run, jump and swing. They also like to catch flies. Flies are small and fast. They buzz and fly away. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with a net. They want to catch some flies. They see a big fly on a flower. Anna runs to the flower with the net. She swings the net at the fly. But she misses. The fly flies away. + +"Missed!" Ben says. He laughs. He thinks it is funny. + +Anna is not happy. She does not like to miss. She thinks it is not funny. She wants to catch the fly. She tries again. She sees another fly on a leaf. She runs to the leaf with the net. She swings the net at the fly. But she misses again. The fly flies away. + +"Missed again!" Ben says. He laughs louder. He thinks it is very funny. + +Anna is very angry. She does not like to miss again. She thinks it is very not funny. She does not want to play with Ben. She says to Ben, "You are not nice. You are not my friend. I do not want to play with you." + +Ben is surprised. He does not understand. He does not mean to be not nice. He does not want to lose his friend. He says to Anna, "I am sorry. I do not want to make you angry. I just want to have fun. I am your friend. I want to play with you." + +Anna looks at Ben. She sees that he is serious. He is not laughing. He is sad. She feels sorry. She does not want to make him sad. She says to Ben, "It is okay. I am sorry too. I do not want to be angry. I just want to catch a fly. You are my friend. I want to play with you too." + +Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They are friends again. They go to look for more flies. They hope to catch one. They do not care if they miss. They have fun. +Anna and Ben like to play in the big bed. They make a tent with the blanket and pretend they are in a cave. They have a flashlight and some toys. They are not scared of anything. + +But one night, when they are playing, they hear a noise. It is a loud and scary noise. It sounds like a ghost. Anna and Ben are very afraid. They cover their heads with the blanket and hold each other. They hope the ghost will go away. + +The noise comes closer and closer. It is in the room. It is under the bed. It is on the bed. It pulls the blanket. Anna and Ben scream. They think the ghost is angry and wants to hurt them. + +But then they see a face. It is not a ghost. It is their big brother, Tom. He is laughing. He was making the noise and pulling the blanket. He was trying to scare them. He thinks it is funny. + +Anna and Ben are not happy. They are angry. They tell Tom to go away and leave them alone. They do not want to play with him. They want to play in their tent. They hug each other and say they are brave. They are not afraid of ghosts. They are only afraid of Tom. +Tim and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. But one day, Tim was angry. He wanted to play with Lily's doll, but Lily said no. She said it was her doll and she loved it. + +"Give me the doll!" Tim shouted. He pulled the doll from Lily's hands. Lily cried and tried to get it back. + +"Stop it, Tim! You are mean!" Lily said. She hit Tim on the arm. Tim hit her back. They fought and fought. + +Their mommies heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Tim and Lily hitting each other and the doll on the floor. They were very sad and angry. + +"Tim, Lily, what are you doing? You are not friends anymore. You are hurting each other and the doll. You should be sorry and say sorry. But you are not. You are bad children. We hate this. Go to your rooms now. No more playing. No more toys. No more fun." Their mommies said. + +Tim and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at their mommies and the doll. They felt bad. But they did not say sorry. They were too proud and stubborn. They went to their rooms. They closed the doors. They sat on their beds. They did not talk. They did not smile. They did not laugh. They were alone. They were bored. They were unhappy. + +They heard the silence. It was heavy. It hurt their ears and their hearts. They wished they had their toys and their friend. But they did not. They had nothing. They had only the silence. They hated the silence. They hated themselves. They hated each other. They hated their mommies. They hated their lives. + +The end. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a lock and a key. Tom and Sam want to open the box and see what is inside. + +"Let me try the key," Tom says. He takes the key and puts it in the lock. He turns the key, but nothing happens. The lock does not open. Tom tries again and again, but he cannot open the box. + +"Pass me the key," Sam says. "Maybe I can do it." Tom does not want to pass the key. He thinks he can open the box by himself. He does not want to share the box with Sam. He says, "No, it is my key. I found it first. You cannot have it." + +Sam is sad. He does not like Tom's words. He says, "But we are friends. We should share and help each other. Maybe we can open the box together. Please pass me the key." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers that Sam is his friend. He remembers that sharing and helping are good things. He feels sorry for his words. He says, "You are right, Sam. I am sorry. Here, you can have the key. Let us try together." + +Tom passes the key to Sam. Sam takes the key and puts it in the lock. He turns the key, and the lock opens. Tom and Sam are happy. They open the box and see what is inside. The box has toys and books and candy. Tom and Sam smile and hug. They say, "Thank you for sharing and helping. We are successful because we are friends." + +The moral of the story is: Sharing and helping are good. Friends are better than things. +Bella is a dog. She likes to run and play with her ball. But today, she feels sick. Her tummy hurts and she is very hot. She does not want to eat or drink. + +Her owner, Sam, is worried. He calls the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick. He says he will come to Sam's house soon. + +Bella hears a knock on the door. She sees the veterinarian with a bag. He smiles and says, "Hello, Bella. I am here to make you feel better." + +He puts his hand on Bella's head. He says, "You have a fever. That means you are too hot. I will give you some medicine to cool you down." + +He takes a syringe from his bag. He says, "This will not hurt. It is just a little pinch." He gives Bella a shot in her leg. Bella whimpers, but she is brave. + +The veterinarian says, "Good girl, Bella. You are very strong. The medicine will help you soon. You need to rest and drink some water." + +He gives Sam a bottle of pills. He says, "Give Bella one of these every day until she is well. Call me if you have any questions." + +He says goodbye to Bella and Sam. He leaves. + +Bella feels a little better. She licks Sam's face. She says, "Thank you, Sam. Thank you, veterinarian. You are both very nice." + +Sam hugs Bella. He says, "You are welcome, Bella. I love you. You are my best friend." +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big box of toys with cars, dolls, blocks and animals. Lila likes the animals best. She picks up a soft bear and hugs it. + +"Can I play with the bear?" Ben asks. + +"No, it is mine. You can play with the cars," Lila says. + +Ben does not like the cars. He likes the animals too. He sees a rough lion in the box. He grabs it and makes a loud roar. + +"Rawr! I am the king of the jungle!" Ben says. + +Lila does not like the roar. She does not like the lion. She thinks it is scary and mean. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are scaring me!" Lila says. + +Ben does not stop. He roars again and chases Lila with the lion. + +"Rawr! I am going to eat you!" Ben says. + +Lila runs away and cries. She drops the bear on the floor. Ben picks it up and smiles. + +"Ha! Now I have the bear and the lion!" Ben says. + +He puts the bear and the lion in a bowl. He thinks it is funny. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Lila crying and Ben laughing. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Lila, why are you crying? Ben, why are you laughing?" + +Lila tells Mom what Ben did. She says he scared her with the lion and took her bear. + +Ben tells Mom what he did. He says he played with the lion and the bear. + +Mom is not happy. She does not like what Ben did. She does not allow him to be mean to Lila. + +"Ben, that is not nice. You should not scare your sister or take her toys. You should share and be kind. Give the bear back to Lila and say sorry," Mom says. + +Ben does not want to give the bear back. He likes the bear. He thinks it is soft. + +"But I like the bear. It is mine now," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not allow him to keep the bear. + +"No, it is not yours. It is Lila's. She had it first. You can play with the lion or another toy. But you have to give the bear back and say sorry," Mom says. + +Ben pouts. He does not want to say sorry. He thinks Lila is silly. + +"But Lila is silly. She is afraid of the lion. The lion is fun," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head again. She does not allow him to say that. + +"No, Lila is not silly. She is your sister. You should respect her feelings. The lion may be fun for you, but not for her. You have to say sorry and be nice," Mom says. + +Ben sighs. He knows Mom is right. He does not want to make Mom angry. He gives the bear back to Lila and says sorry. + +"Sorry, Lila. I did not mean to scare you or take your bear. You can have it back," Ben says. + +Lila stops crying. She takes the bear and hugs it. She says thank you. + +"Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You can play with the lion if you want. But please do not roar at me," Lila says. + +Ben nods. He says okay. + +"Okay, Lila. I will not roar at you. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asks. + +Lila smiles. She says yes. + +"Yes, Ben. I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" Lila asks. + +Ben thinks. He says he wants to play with the blocks. + +"I want to play with the blocks. We can build a house for the bear and the lion. They can be friends," Ben says. + +Lila likes the idea. She says okay. + +"Okay, Ben. That sounds fun. Let's play with the blocks," Lila says. + +They put the bear and the lion in the bowl. They take the blocks and start to build. They play nicely together. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy. She allows them to play with the toys. She thinks they are good twins. +Sara and Ben were in school. They liked to draw on the blackboard with chalk. They drew flowers, stars, and animals. They had fun. + +But one day, they saw an enormous blackboard in the hall. It was bigger than their teacher. They wanted to draw on it too. They took some chalk and ran to the blackboard. + +"Look, Sara, I can draw a big sun!" Ben said. He reached up and drew a yellow circle. + +"Wow, Ben, that's great! I can draw a big moon!" Sara said. She jumped and drew a white crescent. + +They drew more and more things on the enormous blackboard. They did not see their teacher coming. + +"Ben! Sara! What are you doing?" their teacher asked. She was angry. "This is not your blackboard. This is the principal's blackboard. He uses it for important meetings. You have made a big mess. You have to clean it up right now!" + +Ben and Sara felt sorry. They had not asked before they drew. They had not thought about the consequences. They had to hang their heads in shame. + +They took a cloth and some water and wiped the blackboard. It took a long time. They missed their recess and their snack. They learned their lesson. + +They said sorry to their teacher and to the principal. They promised to never draw on the enormous blackboard again. They learned to respect other people's things. They learned to ask before they touch. They learned to be responsible. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there were many things that belonged to their grandma. They saw a shiny needle, some colorful threads, and a soft cloth. + +"Look, Ben, a needle!" Anna said. "We can make something with it." + +"What can we make?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe a scarf, or a hat, or a doll," Anna said. She was adventurous and wanted to try new things. + +She took the needle and a thread and tried to poke the cloth. But the needle was sharp and it hurt her finger. + +"Ow!" Anna cried. "The needle is bad. It bit me!" + +Ben ran to her and saw a drop of blood on her finger. He was scared and wanted to help her. + +"Let me see, Anna," he said. "I will hold your finger and make it better." + +He wrapped a band-aid around her finger and gave her a hug. + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna said. "You are a good brother." + +They put the needle back in the box and decided to play with something else. They learned that needles were not toys and that they should be careful with them. They also learned that they had each other to hold when they were hurt. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gate near their house. The gate was old and rusty, and it had a sign that said "Keep Out". Tom and Mia were curious about what was behind the gate. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun there." + +"No, Tom, we can't," Mia said. "The sign says no. And maybe there is something scary there. Like a big dog, or a monster, or a witch." + +Tom laughed. "Don't be silly, Mia. There is no such thing as monsters or witches. And I'm not afraid of dogs. Come on, be brave. It will be an adventure." + +Tom opened the gate and walked in. Mia followed him, but she was not happy. She held Tom's hand tightly and looked around nervously. The gate led to a big yard, with tall grass, broken toys, and a dark house. + +"See, Mia, there is nothing to scare us here," Tom said. "Just some old stuff. Let's go and explore the house. Maybe we can find some treasure." + +Tom and Mia walked towards the house. But as they got closer, they heard a loud growl. They stopped and looked at each other. Then they saw a huge dog running towards them. The dog had sharp teeth, and angry eyes, and it barked very loudly. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Tom shouted. "The dog is going to get us!" + +Tom and Mia turned around and ran back to the gate. The dog chased them, but they were faster. They reached the gate and slammed it shut. The dog hit the gate with its paws, but it could not get through. Tom and Mia were safe. + +"Phew, that was close," Tom said. "Are you okay, Mia?" + +Mia nodded. She was shaking, but she was okay. She looked at Tom and said, "Tom, you were right. There was something scary behind the gate. A very scary dog. And you were brave. You saved us." + +Tom smiled. He was proud, but he also felt sorry. He said, "Mia, you were brave too. You followed me, even though you were afraid. And I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. The sign was right. We should have kept out." + +Tom and Mia hugged each other. Then they walked back to their house, holding hands. They decided to never go near the gate again. They had learned their lesson. And they had learned to respect each other's feelings. +Tim and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw many things to play with: swings, slides, sand, and trees. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was very high and shiny. + +"Who is that?" Tim asked his mom. + +"That is a king. He was a good and brave king a long time ago. He helped many people and fought many enemies. He loved his horse very much," mom said. + +"Wow, he is so cool. Can I ride his horse?" Mia asked. + +"No, sweetie, you can't. The statue is not for riding. It is for looking and respecting. We can say hello to the king and his horse, but we have to be polite and gentle," mom said. + +"How do we say hello?" Tim asked. + +"We can bow to them. That is a way of showing respect and honor. Do you know how to bow?" mom asked. + +Tim and Mia nodded. They had learned how to bow from their dad, who came from a different country. They liked to bow to their dad and their grandparents. + +"OK, then. Let's go closer to the statue and bow to the king and his horse. But be careful, don't touch them or climb on them," mom said. + +Tim and Mia followed their mom to the statue. They looked up at the king and his horse. They were very big and impressive. Tim and Mia felt a little scared, but also curious and excited. They copied their mom and bowed to the statue. They said, "Hello, king. Hello, horse. You are very nice and strong. Thank you for being here." + +The statue did not say anything, of course. But Tim and Mia felt happy and proud. They had said hello to a king and his horse. They had been polite and respectful. They smiled at their mom and each other. + +"Good job, kids. You are very smart and kind. Now, do you want to play on the swings? They are available and fun," mom said. + +Tim and Mia nodded. They ran to the swings, laughing and shouting. They had a great time at the park. They liked the statue, but they liked the swings more. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the castle. The castle is big and has many rooms and doors. They can make stories with the castle and the people and animals that live in it. + +One day, it is raining outside. Ben and Mia cannot go to the park or the playground. They are sad. They want to play with the castle, but the castle is in the store. Mommy and Daddy put the castle in the store because it is too big for their room. The store is a place where they keep things they do not use often. + +"Can we get the castle from the store, Mommy?" Ben asks. + +"Please, Mommy, we want to play with the castle," Mia says. + +Mommy thinks for a moment. She knows Ben and Mia love the castle, but she also knows the store is wet and dirty. She does not want the castle to get wet and dirty too. + +"I'm sorry, Ben and Mia, but the store is not a good place to play. It is wet and cold and there are spiders and bugs. The castle might get wet and broken if we take it out of the store. How about we play with something else? We have books and puzzles and crayons and dolls. What do you want to play with?" + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They are still sad, but they understand Mommy. They do not want the castle to get wet and broken. They love the castle too much. + +"OK, Mommy, we will play with something else. But can we play with the castle when it is sunny again?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, Ben. When it is sunny again, we can take the castle out of the store and play with it in the yard. But for now, let's find something fun to do inside. How about we make a story with the books and the dolls?" Mommy says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They like to make stories with the books and the dolls. They follow Mommy to their room and pick their favorite books and dolls. They forget about the rain and the store and the castle. They have fun with Mommy and their toys. They are happy. +Lily loved to help her mom and dad with the farm. She liked to feed the chickens, water the plants, and pick the apples. She knew that they had to work hard to supply food for themselves and their neighbors, especially in winter, when the snow was cold and deep. + +One day, Lily saw a small bird in the barn. It was shivering and hungry. Lily felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to be compassionate and help it. She brought some seeds and water for the bird and made a cozy nest out of hay. She named the bird Bluey and visited it every day. + +Mom and dad noticed that Lily was spending a lot of time in the barn. They wondered what she was doing. They decided to follow her and see. They were surprised to find Bluey in the nest. They smiled and praised Lily for her kindness. They told her that Bluey was a bluebird, a special bird that sang beautifully in spring. + +They also told her that Bluey would not stay in the barn forever. He would fly away when the winter was over and join his friends in the south. They said that Lily could say goodbye to Bluey and wish him well. They said that maybe he would come back next year and sing for them again. + +Lily was sad to hear that Bluey would leave. She loved him and wanted him to stay. But she also understood that he had to go where he belonged. She hugged him and thanked him for being her friend. She told him to be safe and happy. She watched him fly away and hoped that he would remember her. She felt a warm tear on her cheek. She knew that she would miss him, but she also knew that she had done a good thing. She had supplied love and care for a little bird in need. +Lily was a small girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a shiny crown. Lily liked to bring Anna everywhere she went. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Anna with her, of course. She wanted to show Anna the swings, the slide and the flowers. She put Anna on a bench and ran to the swings. She swung high and low, feeling the wind in her hair. + +"Mom, look at me!" she shouted. + +"Wow, you're so brave, Lily!" her mom said. + +Lily smiled and jumped off the swing. She ran back to the bench to get Anna. But when she got there, Anna was gone! + +Lily felt a big lump in her throat. She looked around, but she could not see Anna anywhere. She started to cry. + +"Mom, mom, Anna is gone!" she sobbed. + +Her mom came to hug her. "Don't worry, Lily, we'll find her. Maybe someone took her by mistake. Let's ask the other kids if they saw her." + +They walked around the park, asking every kid they met. But no one had seen Anna. Lily felt more and more sad. She wished she had not left Anna alone. + +Then, she saw a boy holding something in his hand. It was Anna! The boy had taken her crown and was playing with it. He did not see Lily and her mom. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily shouted. She ran to the boy and grabbed Anna. "Give her back!" + +The boy looked surprised and scared. He dropped the crown and ran away. + +Lily hugged Anna and put the crown back on her head. She checked if she was hurt. She saw a small cut on Anna's finger. + +"Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. You have a boo-boo. Let me kiss it better." She kissed Anna's finger and smiled. + +Her mom came to them and smiled too. "I'm so glad you found Anna, Lily. She's very lucky to have you as a friend. Next time, don't leave her alone, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. I love you, Anna. I love you, mom." Lily said. + +They hugged and went home. Lily learned a lesson that day. She never left Anna alone again. She always brought her with her, wherever she went. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box with a picture of a volcano on it. They opened the box and saw many pieces of plastic and paper. They wanted to make the volcano and see it erupt. + +They followed the instructions and put the pieces together. They filled the volcano with water and baking soda. Then they added some red food coloring to make it look like lava. They were very excited to see what would happen. + +They put the volcano on the table and waited for it to erupt. But nothing happened. The volcano was dull and quiet. They were very disappointed and sad. + +"Why is the volcano not working?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we did something wrong," Sam said. + +They looked at the instructions again and saw that they forgot one thing. They needed to add some vinegar to make the volcano erupt. But they did not have any vinegar at home. + +"What can we do?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe we can ask for help," Tim said. + +They went to their neighbor, Mrs. Lee, who was very kind and liked to bake. They knocked on her door and asked her if she had some vinegar. + +"Sure, I have some vinegar. What do you need it for?" Mrs. Lee asked. + +"We want to make our volcano erupt. We have everything else, but we forgot the vinegar," Tim said. + +"Oh, I see. That sounds like a fun project. Here, take this bottle of vinegar. But be careful, it might be messy," Mrs. Lee said. + +"Thank you, Mrs. Lee. You are very nice," Sam said. + +They took the bottle of vinegar and ran back to their house. They poured some vinegar into the volcano and watched it erupt. The volcano spewed red foam and bubbles. It was amazing and loud. They clapped and cheered. + +They had a lot of fun with their volcano. They learned that sometimes they need to ask for help when they don't know something. They also learned to follow the instructions carefully. They thanked Mrs. Lee for her help and shared their volcano with her. She was very happy to see their volcano and praised them for their creativity. They were very proud and happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the field near their house. The field had many flowers and bugs and birds. Lily and Tom liked to run and jump and chase each other. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the field. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. Lily and Tom were scared of the dog. They did not know if the dog was nice or mean. + +"Let's go away from the dog," Lily said. She grabbed Tom's hand and ran to the fence. + +"No, let's stay and play," Tom said. He pulled Lily's hand and ran to the dog. He wanted to pet the dog and make friends. + +Lily and Tom argued. They did not agree on what to do. They were both restless and unhappy. + +The dog saw Lily and Tom. The dog wagged its tail and ran to them. The dog licked Lily's face and Tom's hand. The dog was nice and friendly. + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They smiled and laughed. They petted the dog and played with it. + +"Can we keep the dog?" Tom asked. + +Lily nodded. She liked the dog too. + +They took the dog to their house. They asked their mom and dad if they could keep the dog. Their mom and dad said yes.

They like to play in the park. One day, Lily has a new blanket. It is pink and soft. She wants to show Tom her blanket. + +"Tom, come and see my blanket!" Lily says. She invites Tom to sit with her on the grass. She opens her blanket and spreads it on the ground. + +"Wow, your blanket is nice!" Tom says. He touches the blanket with his hand. It feels warm and cozy. He likes Lily's blanket. + +"Thank you, Tom. Do you want to play with me?" Lily asks. She has some toys in her bag. She takes out a ball, a doll, and a car. + +"Yes, I want to play with you!" Tom says. He picks up the car and makes vroom-vroom sounds. He pretends to drive the car on the blanket. + +Lily smiles. She holds the doll and makes it talk. She pretends to feed the doll with a spoon. She and Tom have fun playing with their toys on the blanket. + +They are happy. They are good friends. They share their blanket and their toys. They enjoy the sunny day in the park. +Ben and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals, but they did not like to help with the chores. One day, their father asked them to feed the goat. Ben and Sam did not want to do it. They said, "The goat is not fun. The goat is not cute. The goat is not useful. Why do we have to feed the goat?" + +Their father was angry. He said, "The goat is very useful. The goat gives us milk and cheese. The goat eats the grass and weeds. The goat keeps us company. You should be kind to the goat and feed him every day. If you do not feed the goat, you will not get any milk or cheese or grass or company." + +Ben and Sam did not listen. They ran away to play with the dog and the cat. They forgot about the goat. The goat was hungry and lonely. He started to yell. He yelled very loud. He yelled, "Baa! Baa! Baa!" + +The father heard the goat. He went to see what was wrong. He saw that the goat had no food or water. He was very sad. He said, "Poor goat. You are so useful, but no one cares for you. I will feed you and give you water. I will pet you and talk to you. You are a good goat." + +The goat was happy. He stopped yelling. He said, "Maa! Maa! Maa!" He licked the father's hand. He thanked him for his kindness. + +Ben and Sam heard the goat and the father. They felt ashamed. They realized that they were wrong. They said, "We are sorry, father. We are sorry, goat. We were selfish and rude. We did not appreciate you. You are very useful and very nice. Can we help you feed the goat and give him water? Can we pet him and talk to him? Can we be his friends?" + +The father smiled. He said, "Yes, you can. I am glad that you learned your lesson. The goat is a part of our family. We should treat him with respect and love. He will reward us with his gifts and his friendship. Come, let us feed the goat together." + +Ben and Sam nodded. They followed their father. They fed the goat and gave him water. They petted him and talked to him. They became his friends. The goat was happy. He said, "Baa! Baa! Baa!" He gave them milk and cheese and grass and company. They all lived happily on the farm. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to animals. They are useful and friendly. They deserve our care and attention. They will make us happy and grateful. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They pretend they are chefs and serve their pies to their toys. + +"Here you go, Mr. Bear. A tasty mud pie for you," Anna says. She puts a pie on a plate and gives it to her teddy bear. + +"Thank you, Anna. It looks very yummy," Ben says in a funny voice. He makes his teddy bear eat the pie. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They make more pies and give them to their other toys. They have a lot of fun. + +But then they hear their mom calling them. "Anna! Ben! Time to come inside and wash up!" + +Anna and Ben stop playing. They look at each other. They are very dirty. They have mud on their hands, faces, clothes and shoes. They also have dust in their hair. + +"Oh no," Anna says. "We are so dirty. Mom will be angry." + +"Don't worry, Anna," Ben says. "We can wash up. Mom will not be angry. She will be happy that we had fun." + +"Are you sure, Ben?" Anna says. She is still worried. + +"Yes, I am sure, Anna," Ben says. He takes her hand. "Come on. Let's go inside and wash up. Then we can have a real tasty snack." + +Anna and Ben run inside. They wash up and change their clothes. They hug their mom and tell her about their game. Mom smiles and gives them a kiss. + +"I'm glad you had fun, Anna and Ben," Mom says. "But next time, please don't make such a mess." + +"OK, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They are not worried anymore. They are hungry. + +Mom gives them some cookies and milk. They eat and drink. They think the cookies and milk are very tasty. They are happy. +Lisa and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for dinner. Mom was cooking pasta in a big pot on the stove. She told Lisa and Ben to wait in the living room and not touch anything. + +Lisa and Ben tried to wait, but they were bored. They saw a ball on the floor. They decided to play with the ball. They threw the ball to each other, back and forth. They had fun. + +But then, Ben threw the ball too hard. It flew over Lisa's head and hit the pot on the stove. The pot tipped over and the pasta fell out. The pasta was hot and wet. It made a big mess on the floor and on the stove. + +Mom heard the noise and came running. She saw the pasta everywhere. She was angry and anxious. She said, "What did you do? You could have burned yourself or the house! You were not supposed to touch anything!" + +Lisa and Ben were scared and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the ball and we dropped it. We did not mean to make a mess. We will help you clean it up." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you did not mean it, but you have to be careful. Playing with the ball inside is not a good idea. Next time, listen to me and wait patiently. Now, help me clean this up and then we will have something else for dinner." +Lily liked to make poems. She used words that rhymed and sounded nice. She showed her poems to her mom and dad. They said they were very good and gave her hugs. + +One day, Lily made a poem for her teacher. She wanted to make her happy.

She was proud of her work. She went to school and gave the card to her teacher. + +The teacher opened the card and read the poem. She frowned and said, "This is a bad poem, Lily. You copied it from somewhere. You did not make it yourself. You are a liar and a cheat. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Lily felt a big hurt in her heart. She did not copy the poem. She made it with her own words. She wanted to make her teacher happy, not angry. She did not know what to say. She looked at the teacher with tears in her eyes. + +The teacher did not care. She threw the card in the trash and said, "Go to your seat, Lily. You are in trouble. You will not get a star today. You will get a frown." + +Lily ran to her seat and cried. She wished she never made the poem. She wished she had a different teacher. She wished she could go home. She felt very sad and alone. +Sara and Ben love to swim in the pool. They like to splash and kick and play with the ball. But Sara likes to dive too. She likes to go under the water and see the bubbles and the fish. Ben does not like to dive.

You just have to hold your breath and close your eyes. And follow the rhythm of the water. It is like a song." + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Sara, I do not want to dive. I like to stay dry and play with the ball. Diving is not fun. It is scary." + +Sara says, "Please, Ben, just try it once. I will help you. I will hold your hand and count to three.

We will dive together." + +They go to the deep end of the pool. Sara holds Ben's hand. She says, "Are you ready, Ben? Remember, hold your breath and close your eyes. And follow the rhythm of the water. It is like a song." + +Ben nods. He feels nervous and curious. He says, "Okay, Sara, I am ready. Let's dive." + +Sara counts, "One, two, three." And then they dive. They go under the water and see the bubbles and the fish. They hear the rhythm of the water. It is like a song. Ben feels a surprise and a joy. He is not scared. He is amazed.

Ben says, "No, mom, I did not check my pocket." He puts his hand in his pocket and feels something. He pulls it out and sees the key. He says, "Mom, look, I found the key. It was in my pocket. I forgot to take it out." He smiles and hugs mom. + +Mom says, "Good job, Ben. You found the key. Now you can open your box and play with your cars. Are you happy?" Ben says, "Yes, mom, I am happy.

She wore a pink dress and a shiny crown. She had many friends come to her house. They played games, sang songs and had fun. + +"Time for cake!" Mommy said. She brought a big cake with candles.

She hugged her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She dreamed of ponies and cake. She was very happy. +Tom was a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. He liked to play with his friends in the park, but sometimes he got bored. One day, he saw a hole in the fence and decided to wander out. He wanted to see what was on the other side. + +He walked and walked until he came to a busy street. He saw many cars and people and noises. He felt scared and lost. He looked for a way back to the park, but he could not find it. He started to whimper and cry. + +An old lady with white hair and a cane saw him. She felt sorry for him and came over.

He hoped he would find his way back to the park, but he also liked the old lady. He thought maybe they could be friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to zoom it around the living room and make loud noises. + +One day, their friend Lily came over to visit. She saw the big red truck and wanted to play with it too. She asked Anna and Ben, "Can I lend your truck? It looks so fun!" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to share their truck. They liked it too much. They said, "No, Lily, you can't lend our truck. It is ours. Go play with something else." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Anna and Ben were not nice. She said, "Fine, I don't want to play with you. You are mean. I will find something else to play with." + +She walked away and looked around the living room. She saw a big black chimney in the corner. It was part of the fireplace, where the fire burned when it was cold. She thought it looked interesting. She said, "I wonder what is inside the chimney. Maybe there is something fun." + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the chimney. She put her hand inside and felt something soft and furry. She pulled it out and saw that it was a hat. A big red hat with a white ball on the end. She said, "Wow, what a nice hat! It must belong to someone. Maybe it is a gift." + +She put the hat on her head and smiled. She felt happy and warm. She said, "I like this hat. It is so pretty. I will lend it for a while." + +She did not know that the hat belonged to Santa Claus. He had left it there when he came to deliver presents on Christmas Eve. He was very busy and forgot to take it with him. He was looking for his hat all over the world. He needed it to keep his head warm and to look like Santa Claus. + +He was flying in his sleigh with his reindeer when he saw Lily wearing his hat. He said, "Hey, that's my hat! That little girl has my hat! I need it back!" + +He landed his sleigh on the roof and went down the chimney. He saw Lily playing with the big red truck. She had borrowed it from Anna and Ben, who were now playing with something else. She said, "Look, I have a truck and a hat. I am so happy!" + +Santa Claus said, "Hello, Lily. I am Santa Claus. I am glad you are happy, but I need my hat back. It is mine. I left it here by mistake. Can you lend it to me?" + +Lily looked at Santa Claus. She was surprised and scared. She said, "Oh, hello, Santa Claus. I am sorry, I did not know it was your hat. I found it in the chimney. It is so nice. Can I keep it?" + +Santa Claus said, "No, Lily, you can't keep it. It is part of my suit. I need it to do my job. Please, lend it to me. I will give you something else in return. Something you will like." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the hat, but she also liked Santa Claus. She said, "OK, Santa Claus, I will lend you your hat. But what will you give me?" + +Santa Claus said, "I will give you a hug and a kiss. And I will also give you a special present. A new toy. A toy that you will love. A toy that is better than a big red truck." + +Lily said, "Really? What is it?" + +Santa Claus said, "You will see. Come with me to the roof. I have it in my sleigh." + +Lily said, "OK, let's go." + +She took off the hat and gave it to Santa Claus. He put it on his head and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. Come on, I will show you your present." + +He took her hand and led her to the roof. He showed her his sleigh and his reindeer. He said, "This is my sleigh. It can fly. And these are my reindeer. They can pull the sleigh. They are very fast and strong. And this is your present." + +He gave her a big box wrapped in shiny paper and a bow. He said, "Open it and see what it is." + +Lily opened the box and gasped. She saw a beautiful doll. A doll that looked like her. A doll that had brown hair and blue eyes and a pink dress. A doll that could talk and sing and laugh. She said, "Wow, what a wonderful doll! It looks like me! It can talk and sing +Ben and Lily were playing with their mom's old letters. They liked to look at the pictures and stamps on the envelopes. They tried to match the envelopes with the same stamps or colors. + +"Look, I found two envelopes with red flowers!" Lily said, holding them up. + +"Let me see!" Ben said, grabbing one of them from her hand. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily cried, pulling it back. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben shouted, tugging harder. + +They heard a rip and saw that the envelope was torn in half. Inside, there was a thin piece of paper with writing on it. + +"Oh no, we broke it!" Lily said, feeling sorry. + +"It's okay, it's just paper," Ben said, trying to act brave. + +But their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the ripped envelope and the paper on the floor. + +"What did you do?" she asked, looking angry and sad. + +"We were playing with the envelopes and we matched them and then we fought and then we broke it," Lily said, telling the truth. + +Ben nodded, feeling ashamed. + +Mom picked up the paper and looked at it. It was a letter from her grandma, who had passed away a long time ago. It was very old and fragile. + +"This was very special to me," she said, with tears in her eyes. "It was one of the last letters she wrote to me. You should not have played with it. You should have asked me first." + +"We're sorry, mom," Ben and Lily said, in a small voice. + +Mom sighed and hugged them. + +"I know you didn't mean to hurt it," she said. "But you have to be careful with things that are fragile. They can break easily and they can't be fixed. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," Ben and Lily said. + +They helped mom put the letter and the envelope in a safe place. They said sorry again and gave her a kiss. Mom smiled and said she loved them. They learned to be more respectful of mom's things and to share nicely. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes.

They asked their mom and dad if they could give some of their food to the group of children. Their mom and dad said yes and praised them for being kind and generous. + +Anna and Ben brought some fruits, cheese, cookies and juice to the group of children. The group of children was very grateful and shared their food with Anna and Ben.

They also learned that by sharing, they can make new friends and have more fun. They were happy and proud of themselves. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big wheel that can spin. Sara runs to the wheel and says, "I want to spin! I want to spin!" She climbs on the wheel and holds on tight. + +Ben follows Sara and says, "I want to spin too! Let me on the wheel!" He tries to climb on the wheel, but Sara pushes him away. She says, "No! This is mine! Go away!" + +Ben is sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair! You are not nice! I will tell Mom!" He runs to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. He tells her what Sara did. + +Mom is not happy. She says, "Sara, come here! You have to share the wheel with Ben. It is not yours. It is for everyone to play with. Say sorry to Ben and let him spin too." + +Sara feels bad. She knows she was wrong. She says, "Sorry, Ben. I was selfish. You can spin with me. Come on, let's spin together!" She smiles and holds out her hand. + +Ben smiles too. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are nice. Let's spin together!" He takes her hand and climbs on the wheel. They spin and spin and spin. They have fun. They are lively. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy. +Lily and her mom were going on a big plane to see grandma. Lily was very happy.

They got in a taxi and went to the airport. + +At the airport, there were many people and many noises. Lily held mom's hand and followed her to a long line. They waited and waited. Lily was bored. She saw a big sign with a picture of a plane and some words. She asked mom, "What does that say?" + +Mom looked at the sign and said, "It says, 'Flight 123 to London cancelled due to bad weather.' That's our flight, Lily. We can't go on the plane today." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see grandma. She wanted to go on the plane. She said, "No, no, no! I want to go! I want to go!" + +She let go of mom's hand and ran to the sign. She tried to pull it down. She thought maybe if she pulled it down, the plane would go. But the sign was too high and too strong. Lily fell down and hit her head on the floor. She cried and cried. + +Mom ran to Lily and knelt down next to her. She was scared and worried. She hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry.

Come on, let's go." + +She picked up Lily and her small bag. She forgot her big bag with her clothes and her passport. She ran to the exit, looking for help.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe there is a treasure in the hole!" + +Lily followed Tom to the tree. They looked inside the hole. It was dark and quiet. They heard a soft sound. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +Tom reached his hand inside the hole. He felt something smooth and warm. He pulled it out. It was a red and white ball. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ball!" Tom said. He was happy. + +But then they heard a loud growl. They turned around and saw a fox. The fox was angry. The ball was his toy. He wanted it back. + +"Give me my ball!" the fox said. He showed his sharp teeth. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not recognize the fox. They did not know what to do. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom said. He threw the ball to the fox and grabbed Lily's hand. They ran away from the tree and the fox. + +They did not stop until they reached their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She saw them and hugged them. + +"What happened, my sweeties?" she asked. + +"We saw a fox, mom!" Lily said. "He was mean and he wanted his ball!" + +"Are you OK?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are OK," Tom said. "But we don't like the fox. He is not nice." + +Mom kissed them and smiled. + +"I'm glad you are OK," she said. "But you should not touch things that are not yours. They might belong to someone else. And you should be careful of animals you don't know. They might be dangerous." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to see the fox again. They played with their own toys and had fun. They were happy. +Sara loved her pet dog, Max. Max was a lively dog who liked to run, jump and play. Sara liked to take Max to the park and throw a ball for him. Max would chase the ball and bring it back to Sara. + +One day, Sara and Max went to the park with Sara's mom. Sara's mom said, "Sara, you can play with Max, but you have to stay in the park. Do not go outside the park. It is not safe." Sara said, "OK, mom. I will stay in the park." Sara's mom sat on a bench and read a book. + +Sara and Max played with the ball for a while. Then, Sara saw a big hill outside the park. Sara thought, "I wonder what is on the other side of the hill. Maybe there is something fun to see." Sara said to Max, "Come on, Max. Let's go to the hill. It will be fun." Max barked and followed Sara. + +Sara and Max left the park and ran to the hill. They climbed the hill and looked over. They saw a busy road with many cars and trucks. Sara said, "Wow, look at all the cars and trucks. They are so fast and loud." Max barked and wagged his tail. + +Sara and Max did not see a car that was coming towards them. The car was going very fast and did not see them either. The car hit Max and Sara. Max and Sara were hurt very badly. The car stopped and the driver got out. He called for help. Sara's mom heard the noise and ran to the hill. She saw Sara and Max on the ground. She was very scared and sad. + +Sara and Max were taken to the hospital. The doctor said, "Sara and Max are lucky to be alive. They have many broken bones and bruises. They will need a lot of rest and care." Sara's mom said, "Thank you, doctor. I am sorry for what happened. I told Sara to stay in the park, but she did not listen. She wanted to go to the hill." Sara said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not obey you. I wanted to see what was on the other side of the hill. I did not think it was dangerous. I was wrong. I love you, mom. I love you, Max."

And it will need a lot of care. Sara, you made a mistake. You did not listen to Tom. You did not respect the flower. You have to learn to be gentle and patient with living things. Can you say sorry to the flower?" + +Sara nodded. She wiped her tears. She bent down and touched the dirt. She whispered, "Sorry, flower. I hope you bloom again. I will not touch you again. I will only look and smell. I will be gentle and patient. I love you, flower." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a long rope on the ground.

She wagged her tail and ran to find them. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with toys and watch videos. But they do not like to share. They always fight over the same toy or video.

"Do you know what this is?" + +The frog looked around and saw a big snake coiled around the cross. He was scared and wanted to hop away, but the snake was faster. + +"No, I don't know," said the frog. "What is it?" + +"This is my home," said the snake. "And you are my lunch." + +The snake opened his mouth and tried to bite the frog. But the frog was quick and hopped off the cross. He ran away as fast as he could, and never came back to the forest. + +The snake was angry and hungry. He hissed and cursed the frog. + +"You are an ignorant frog," he said. "You don't know anything.

We are thankful. We are good friends. We are good painters. We are good readers. We will be more responsible. We will learn from our mistake." + +They smile. They hug. They clean up the mess. They read the book. They paint some more. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Ben and Mia are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Lee. She has black hair and glasses. + +"Hello, children. I am Miss Lee. I am your new teacher. I am happy to meet you," Miss Lee says. She smiles and looks at the class. + +Ben and Mia look at Miss Lee. They feel shy. They do not know her. She seems nice, but different. They miss their old teacher, Mr. Jones. He had brown hair and no glasses. + +Miss Lee asks the children to sit in a circle. She gives them a big book. The book has many pictures and words. She says she will read them a story. + +Ben and Mia sit next to each other. They hold hands. They look at the book. They see a cat, a dog, a bird, and a mouse. They like animals. They want to hear the story. + +Miss Lee reads the story. She makes funny voices and sounds. She points at the pictures and the words. She asks the children questions. She praises them when they answer. + +Ben and Mia listen to Miss Lee. They feel curious. They want to know what happens next. They answer her questions. They laugh at her voices and sounds. They look at her eyes. They see her pupils. They are black and shiny. They seem kind. + +Ben and Mia feel comfortable. They like Miss Lee. She is a good teacher. They are not shy anymore. They are happy. They enjoy the story. They learn new words. They make new friends. They have a good day. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys and run in the park. But Tom is bigger and stronger than Sam. He can lift heavier things and run faster. Sam wants to be like Tom. He asks Tom, "How can I increase my muscle?" + +Tom smiles and says, "You have to eat good food and exercise a lot. You have to do push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. You have to be serious and not give up." + +Sam nods and says, "OK, I will try. Can you help me?" + +Tom says, "Sure, I will help you. Come on, let's go to the park and start." + +They go to the park and Tom shows Sam how to do the exercises. Sam follows Tom and tries his best. He feels his muscles burn and ache. He wants to stop and rest, but he remembers Tom's words. He wants to increase his muscle. He wants to be like Tom. He is serious and does not give up. + +After a while, they finish the exercises and sit on the grass. They drink some water and eat some fruit. They feel tired but happy. Tom says, "You did well, Sam. You are strong and brave. I am proud of you." + +Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. You help me and teach me. I love you." + +They hug and laugh. They are brothers. They are friends. They are happy. +One day, a child and his mom go to the park. The child likes to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. His mom tells him to stay close and not to talk to strangers. The child says, "OK, mom, I will be a good and dependable child." + +But then, the child sees a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy and has a red collar. The child loves dogs and wants to pet the dog. He forgets what his mom said and runs to the dog. The dog's owner is not nearby. The child says, "Hi, dog, you are so cute. Can I pet you?" + +The dog does not like strangers and barks loudly. The child gets scared and cries. His mom hears him and runs to him. She hugs him and says, "Child, are you OK? What happened?" The child tells her what he did and says, "I'm sorry, mom, I was not dependable. I did not listen to you and I talked to a stranger. The dog was angry and scared me." + +His mom says, "Child, I'm glad you are OK, but you have to be more careful. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. The rules are there to keep you safe and happy. The dog could have bitten you or run away with you. You have to be dependable and do what I say. Do you understand?" The child nods and says, "Yes, mom, I understand. I will be more dependable and listen to you. I love you, mom." His mom says, "I love you too, child. Now, let's go back to the park and have some fun." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big box with a ribbon on it. It was a package. They ran to the package and wanted to open it. + +"Stop!" a voice said. It was a man with a hat and a coat. He looked angry. "That is my package. Give it to me!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They did not know the man. They did not want to give him the package. Maybe it was a present for someone. + +"No!" Anna said. "We found it. It is ours!" + +The man came closer. He had a stick in his hand. He waved it at Anna and Ben. "Give me the package or I will hit you!" he said. + +Anna and Ben did not like the stick. They did not want to get hurt. They decided to surrender. They gave the package to the man and ran away. + +The man smiled. He opened the package. Inside was a cake. It was a clean cake. It had no dirt or bugs on it. It looked yummy. The man was happy. He took a bite of the cake. + +"Yuck!" he said. He spit out the cake. It was not yummy. It was bad. It was sour and bitter and salty. It made him sick. + +Anna and Ben had tricked him. They had made the cake with vinegar and lemon and salt. They had put it in the package as a joke. They had left it in the park for someone to find. + +Anna and Ben watched from behind a tree. They laughed. They were not scared anymore. They were proud. They had fooled the man with the hat and the coat. They had kept their cake. They had a good day. +Lily is a dog who likes to run and play. She has a boy who loves her and takes her to the park. But one day, the boy forgets to put the leash on Lily. Lily does not know she needs the leash to be safe. + +Lily sees a big ball and runs after it. She does not see the car that is coming fast. The car hits Lily and she falls down. She feels a lot of pain and cannot move. The boy sees what happens and runs to Lily. He is very sad and scared. He cries and hugs Lily. + +The man who drives the car stops and gets out. He is sorry and angry. He says the boy should have used the leash. He says the leash is for the dog's good. He says the boy is not a good owner. He says he will call the police. + +Lily hears the man and the boy. She is nervous and wants to help the boy. But she cannot talk or get up. She wishes she had the leash. She wishes she had listened to the boy. She wishes she had not chased the ball. She closes her eyes and does not see anything anymore. + +The moral of the story is: Always use the leash when you take your dog outside. The leash can save your dog's life and keep you out of trouble. The leash shows you care for your dog. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a big bush with many blueberries. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, blueberries!" Sara says. "Let's pick some and eat them. They are good and sweet." + +"OK, Sara, but we have to be quick. Mom said not to touch the bush. She will punish us if she sees us." Ben says. + +They run to the bush and start to pick the blueberries. They put some in their mouths and some in their pockets. They are happy and forget about Mom. + +But Mom is watching them from the window. She is angry and sad. She loves her twins, but they did not listen to her. She goes out to the garden and calls them. + +"Sara! Ben! Come here right now!" Mom says. "What are you doing? You know you are not allowed to touch the bush. The blueberries are not for you. They are for the pie I am making for Grandma. You are naughty and greedy. You have to punish." + +Sara and Ben are scared and sorry. They drop the blueberries and run to Mom. They hug her and say sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not mean to be naughty and greedy. We were hungry and the blueberries looked good. Please do not punish us. We love you and Grandma." Sara and Ben say. + +Mom sighs and hugs them back. She is still angry and sad, but she loves her twins too. She decides to forgive them, but they have to learn their lesson. + +"OK, I forgive you, but you have to punish. You have to help me make a new pie for Grandma. And you have to say sorry to her too. And you have to promise me not to touch the bush again. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod and say yes. They follow Mom to the kitchen and help her make a new pie. They use the blueberries they picked and some more from the fridge. They work hard and have fun. They make a good and big pie for Grandma. They hope she will like it and forgive them too. +Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her toys, her friends, her family and her dreams. She kept her diary under her pillow, so no one could see it. She thought it was her secret. + +One day, her brother Tom found her diary. He was curious and wanted to read it. He took it from under her pillow and opened it. He saw Lily's words and drawings. He laughed and said, "This is silly. You write like a baby. I can write better than you." + +Lily heard him and ran to her room. She was angry and sad. She said, "Give me back my diary. It is mine. You are mean and rude. You have no right to read it." + +Tom was stubborn and did not listen. He said, "No, I will not give it back. It is fun to read. You should share it with me. You are selfish and boring. You have no sense of humor." + +Lily and Tom started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They shouted and cried. They did not notice that their mom came home. She heard the noise and went to their room. She saw them fighting and the diary on the floor. She was angry and disappointed. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are behaving badly. You should respect each other and each other's things. You have broken the rules and hurt each other's feelings. You have gained nothing but trouble. You are grounded for a week. No TV, no games, no friends. And no diary for Lily. I will keep it until you learn your lesson." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We made a mistake. We love each other and we love you. Please forgive us and give us another chance." + +Mom said, "I love you too, but you have to face the consequences. You have to show me that you can be kind and responsible. Maybe then I will give you back your diary, Lily. But for now, you have to go to your beds and think about what you did." + +Lily and Tom went to their beds. They did not talk to each other. They did not sleep well. They wished they had not fought over the diary. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They wished they had a good ending. But they did not. They had a bad ending. +Sara wanted to help her mom with the grocery. She liked to put things in the cart and look at the colors and shapes. But sometimes she was clumsy and dropped things or bumped into people. Her mom told her to be careful and stay close. + +One day, they went to the store and Sara saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. She wanted to touch it and taste it. She asked her mom if they could buy it, but her mom said no, it was too expensive and they had enough food at home. Sara was sad and angry. She decided to sneak the cake into the cart when her mom was not looking. + +She waited for the right moment and grabbed the cake from the shelf. She tried to lift it, but it was heavy and slippery. She lost her balance and fell to the floor, making a loud noise. The cake landed on her head and broke into pieces. Everyone in the store looked at her and the mess. Sara felt scared and ashamed. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and ran to her. She saw the cake and the tears and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Sara, what did you do? You were very naughty and clumsy. You made a big problem for us and the store. You have to say sorry and help clean up." + +Sara nodded and wiped her eyes. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, store. I wanted the cake, but I made a mistake. I won't do it again. I'll help you with the grocery." + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I know you wanted the cake, but you can't take things that are not yours. You have to ask and listen. I love you, Sara, but you have to learn to be good and careful. Come on, let's go pay and go home." + +Sara followed her mom and helped her put the things in the cart. She said sorry to the store lady and helped her pick up the cake. The store lady was nice and gave her a sticker and a cookie. Sara said thank you and smiled. She felt better. She learned a lesson and succeeded to make up for her mistake. She hoped her mom would make a cake for her someday. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big cube that made sounds when they pressed the buttons. The cube had different colors and shapes on each side, and sometimes it would whistle a tune. + +"Look, Lily, I found the whistle button!" Tom said, pressing a yellow star on the cube. The cube whistled a happy song, and Tom and Lily danced along. + +"Let me try, Tom!" Lily said, reaching for the cube. But Tom did not want to share. He pulled the cube away from Lily and said, "No, it's mine!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to play with the cube too. She tried to grab the cube from Tom, but he pushed her away. They started to fight over the cube, pulling and shouting. + +Suddenly, the cube stopped whistling. It made a loud beep, and then a strange noise. The cube started to glow and shake. Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the cube and backed away. + +"What's happening, Tom?" Lily asked, holding Tom's hand. + +"I don't know, Lily. It's mysterious." Tom said, looking at the cube. + +The cube opened up, and a big robot came out. The robot had red eyes and sharp teeth. It looked angry and mean. It saw Tom and Lily and said, "You are bad children. You do not share. You do not play nice. Now you will pay." + +The robot grabbed Tom and Lily with its metal arms and lifted them up. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The robot took them away, and they never saw their home or their toys again. The end. +Anna liked to help her mom clean the house. She had a small broom and a dustpan that she used to sweep the floor. She also had a cloth and a spray bottle that she used to wipe the tables and chairs. She felt happy when she saw the house look neat and shiny. + +One day, a lady came to visit Anna and her mom. The lady was mom's friend from work. She brought a big cake and some flowers for them. Anna said hello and gave the lady a hug. The lady smiled and said she was very thoughtful. + +Anna wanted to share her cake with the lady, but she saw that the lady's shoes were dirty. She had walked in the mud outside. Anna did not want the lady to feel bad, so she had an idea. She took her broom and dustpan and went to the door. She asked the lady to lift her feet. Then she swept the mud off her shoes and put it in the dustpan. + +The lady was surprised and thanked Anna. She said she was very kind and helpful. Anna smiled and said she liked to clean. She said she learned from her mom. The lady and mom hugged Anna and praised her. Then they all went to the kitchen and enjoyed the cake. Anna felt proud and happy. She had made a new friend and helped her mom clean. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a lock on it. It looked mysterious. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure or a toy or a cake," Ben said. + +They wanted to open the box, but they did not have a key. They tried to push it and shake it, but it did not move. They tried to peek through the holes, but they did not see anything. + +"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," Lily said. + +"Or maybe we can wait until someone comes to get it," Ben said. + +They decided to sit next to the box and watch. They hoped that someone would come and tell them what was in the box. + +But no one came. The sun was shining and it was very hot. Lily and Ben felt thirsty and tired. They wished they had some water and a snack. + +"Maybe we should go home," Lily said. + +"But what about the box?" Ben said. + +"Maybe we can come back tomorrow," Lily said. + +"Or maybe we can take it with us," Ben said. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. They grabbed the box and ran to the slide. They put the box on the slide and pushed it down. The box slid fast and landed on the grass. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily and Ben cheered. + +They ran to the box and opened it. They were curious and excited. They wanted to see what was in the box. + +But when they opened it, they were surprised and disappointed. There was nothing in the box. It was empty. + +"Aw, there is nothing here," Lily said. + +"Maybe someone took it before us," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it was a joke," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw a boy laughing behind a bush. It was Tom, the mean boy from their class. He had put the box there to tease them. + +"Ha ha, you fell for it. There is nothing in the box. It was a trick. You are silly," Tom said. + +Lily and Ben felt angry and sad. They did not like Tom. He was not nice. He liked to tease them and make them feel bad. + +They picked up the box and threw it at Tom. The box hit him on the head and made him cry. + +"Ow, that hurts. Stop it. You are mean," Tom said. + +Lily and Ben felt better. They did not care about Tom. They did not care about the box. They had each other. They were best friends. + +They left the box and Tom behind and went home. They had a drink and a snack and told their moms about their adventure. They laughed and hugged and said they would play again tomorrow. They were happy. +Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom and Lily wanted to feed the ducks. Mom gave them some bread and cheese. "Be careful, don't drop the cheese in the water. It is expensive," mom said. + +Tom and Lily threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread quickly. Lily saw a big fish in the pond. She wanted to see it better. She leaned over the edge of the pond. She held the cheese in her hand. + +The fish saw the cheese. It jumped out of the water. It tried to grab the cheese from Lily's hand. Lily was surprised. She let go of the cheese. The fish caught the cheese in its mouth. It splashed back into the pond. + +Lily cried. "Mom, the fish took my cheese! It was expensive!" she said. Tom laughed. "That was funny! The fish likes cheese!" he said. Mom hugged Lily. "It's okay, honey. We have more cheese at home. Let's go and have a picnic," she said. + +Tom and Lily followed mom to a shady spot under a tree. They spread a blanket on the grass. They ate some sandwiches and fruit. They drank some juice. They forgot about the fish and the cheese. They had fun at the park. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the garden. They have a big hedge that goes around the garden. They can hide behind the hedge and pretend they are spies. + +One day, they find a big jug of water in the shed. They have an idea. They decide to pour water on each other and on the plants. They think it is very funny. + +They take turns to sneak behind the hedge and pour water on the other one. They laugh and scream when they get wet. They also pour water on the flowers and the grass. They make them happy and shiny. + +But they do not see that Mom is watching them from the window. She is not happy. She is alert. She does not like that they waste water and make a mess. + +She opens the door and calls them. "Tim! Sam! What are you doing? Stop pouring water everywhere! Come inside right now!" + +Tim and Sam hear Mom. They are scared. They drop the jug and run to the door. They say sorry to Mom. They hope she is not too angry. They promise to be good and not pour water again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the old house. They liked the old house because it had many rooms and furniture to explore. They found chairs, tables, beds, and lamps. Some of the furniture was broken or dirty, but they did not mind. + +One day, they found a box of matches in a drawer. They did not know what matches were, but they liked the red tips and the sound they made when they rubbed them. They decided to try them on the furniture. + +They lit a match and touched it to a lamp. The lamp caught fire and made a bright flame. Lily and Ben were scared and excited. They lit another match and touched it to a chair. The chair also caught fire and made a lot of smoke. + +"Look, we made fire!" Ben said. + +"Fire is fun!" Lily said. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was the fire alarm. The fire had spread to the curtains and the carpet. The old house was burning. Lily and Ben ran to the door, but it was locked. They tried to open it, but they could not. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. + +"Help, help!" they heard someone shout back. It was their mom. She had followed them to the old house and saw the smoke. She had a key and opened the door. She grabbed Lily and Ben and took them outside. + +She was very angry and scared. She hugged them and said, "What did you do? You could have died! You should never play with matches! They are very dangerous! They can burn you and the furniture and the house!" + +Lily and Ben were sorry and ashamed. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We will never play with matches again." + +Mom said, "I am glad you are safe, but you have to be more careful. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. The old house is not a place to play. It is a place to avoid. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. Now let's go home and forget this bad day." +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see many flowers. They like the yellow ones. They are daisies. Lily picks one and smells it. It is soft and nice. + +"Look, Ben, I have a daisy!" Lily says. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He picks one and holds it next to Lily's. "Are they the same?" + +Lily and Ben want to know. They look at the daisies. They have the same color and shape. But they are not the same size. + +"Let's measure them!" Lily says. She has an idea. She finds a stick and breaks it in two. She gives one piece to Ben. "This is our ruler." + +Lily and Ben use the stick pieces to measure their daisies. They put them next to the petals and count. Lily's daisy has eight petals. Ben's daisy has seven petals. + +"My daisy is bigger!" Lily says. She is happy. + +"But my daisy is prettier!" Ben says. He is not sad. + +Lily and Ben smile at each other. They do not care about the size. They like their daisies. They put them in their hair and run around the garden. They are having fun. +Sara and Tom were playing with blocks in the garden. They wanted to make a big tower that could touch the sky. Sara put a blue block on top of a red block. Tom put a yellow block on top of a green block. They took turns to add more blocks to their tower. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Sara said. "It will rise and rise until it reaches the stars!" + +"I have a different opinion," Tom said. "I think our tower is ugly. It has too many colors and it is not straight. It will fall down soon." + +Sara felt angry. She liked their tower. She thought it was pretty and fun. She did not like Tom's opinion. She wanted to make him change his mind. + +"No, our tower is not ugly!" Sara said. "It is beautiful and strong. It will not fall down. You are wrong!" + +Tom felt angry too. He did not like Sara's opinion. He wanted to make her change her mind. + +"Yes, our tower is ugly!" Tom said. "It is messy and weak. It will fall down. You are wrong!" + +They started to shout at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not play nicely. They pushed and pulled the blocks. They made the tower shake and wobble. + +Suddenly, the tower fell down. It made a loud noise. It broke some of the blocks. It made a big mess. Sara and Tom stopped shouting. They looked at the tower. They felt sad. + +They realized they had been silly. They had ruined their tower. They had hurt their blocks. They had not been good friends. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "I should not have said your tower was ugly. It was your opinion. You can like what you like." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sara said. "I should not have said you were wrong. It was your opinion. You can think what you think." + +They hugged each other. They decided to make a new tower. They decided to use all the colors. They decided to make it straight and high. They decided to respect each other's opinion. They decided to play nicely. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They go to the same classroom every day. They like to play and learn with their teacher and other friends. But today, Anna and Ben are not happy. They have to sit on uncomfortable chairs and do a hard test. They do not like tests. + +"Ben, do you know this word?" Anna whispers to Ben. She points to a word on the test paper. It is a long word with many letters. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not know the word either. He looks at the other words on the paper. He does not know many of them. He feels scared and sad. + +"Me neither," he whispers back to Anna. "This test is too hard. I want to go home." + +Anna nods. She feels the same way. She wishes they could play with their toys or draw pictures instead of doing the test. She looks at the clock on the wall. It is still a long time until the test is over. + +"Maybe we can guess some of the words," she says to Ben. "Maybe we can get some right." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He does not like to guess. He likes to know things for sure. But he does not have a better idea. He nods to Anna. + +"Okay, let's try to guess," he says to Anna. "Maybe we can make the test a little easier." + +Anna and Ben look at their papers again. They try to guess some of the words. They hope their teacher will not be angry with them. They hope they can finish the test soon. They hope they can have fun again in their classroom. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big box. They make the box into a fort. They have weapons to fight bad guys. Tom has a stick. Sam has a rock. + +One day, a big dog comes near their fort. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. Tom and Sam are scared. The dog wants to play, but they do not know that. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. He waves his stick at the dog. The dog thinks it is a game. It jumps and runs around the fort. + +"Help, Sam!" Tom says. He tries to hit the dog with his stick, but he misses. The dog bites the stick and pulls it away. + +Sam throws his rock at the dog. The rock hits the dog on the head. The dog yelps and runs away. + +"Wow, Sam, you are tough!" Tom says. He hugs Sam. "You saved us from the dog!" + +Sam smiles. He is happy. He gives Tom his rock. "You can have my weapon, Tom. You are my friend." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big fly on a flower. Lily wanted to catch it, but Ben was scared. + +"Don't touch it, Lily! It might bite you!" Ben said. + +"No, it won't. It is just a fly. It is not scary. Look, it has pretty wings," Lily said. She reached out her hand to the fly. + +But the fly was not a fly. It was a change-fly. It could change into different things. When it saw Lily's hand, it changed into a spider. It had eight legs and hairy body. It looked very scary. + +Lily screamed and jumped back. Ben screamed too and ran away. The change-fly laughed and flew away. It changed into a butterfly and looked for another flower. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It was just a change-fly. It likes to play tricks on people. It can't hurt you. Next time, be careful and don't touch strange flies." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They found a ball and kicked it. They had fun and forgot about the change-fly. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play hide and seek. They are competitive. They want to win. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the house. Anna is the seeker. She counts to ten. Ben runs to find a good spot. He sees the bathroom. He thinks it is a good spot. He goes inside and closes the door. + +Anna finishes counting. She says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Ben. She checks the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, but she does not find him. She wonders where he is. She hears a noise. It comes from the bathroom. She goes to the bathroom. She tries to open the door. It is locked. + +"Ben, are you in there?" she asks. + +"Yes, I am," Ben says. "You found me." + +"Open the door, Ben," Anna says. "You have to come out." + +"No, I don't," Ben says. "I win. You can't catch me." + +"Yes, I can," Anna says. "You have to follow the rules. You can't hide in the bathroom. It is not fair." + +"Yes, I can," Ben says. "It is fair. It is a good spot. You are just mad because you lose." + +They argue for a while. They do not agree. They are both competitive. They do not want to give up. They do not have fun. They are not happy. +Lily likes to drink milk every morning. She drinks from a pink cup with a straw. She likes to listen to the radio when she drinks. The radio plays songs and stories. Lily likes to sing and dance with the radio. + +One day, Lily wants to drink milk, but she cannot find her pink cup. She looks in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom, but she cannot see it. She feels sad and cries. She does not want to drink from another cup. She wants her pink cup. + +Mom hears Lily cry and comes to help. She asks Lily what is wrong. Lily tells Mom that she cannot find her pink cup. Mom hugs Lily and says, "Don't worry, we will find it together." Mom and Lily look everywhere for the pink cup. They look under the sofa, behind the curtains, in the closet, but they cannot find it. + +Then, Lily remembers something. She remembers that she put her pink cup in her backpack yesterday. She wanted to take it to the park, but she forgot. She runs to her room and opens her backpack. She sees her pink cup inside. She is very happy. She takes out her pink cup and shows it to Mom. Mom is happy too. She says, "Good job, Lily! You found your pink cup. I am very proud of you." + +Lily smiles and hugs Mom. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." She goes to the kitchen and fills her pink cup with milk. She drinks from her pink cup and listens to the radio. She sings and dances with the radio. She is very happy. She is very proud. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lila says. She runs to the hill. Ben follows her. They climb and climb. They get to the top. They see a nice view. They see trees and flowers and birds and houses. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. He points to a big cloud. It looks like a bunny. Lila nods. She sees the cloud too. + +They sit on the grass. They feel the wind. They feel happy. They lie down. They look at the sky. They see more clouds. They see shapes and colors. + +"Look, that one looks like a star!" Lila says. She pokes Ben. Ben looks. He sees the star. + +"That one looks like a car!" Ben says. He pokes Lila. Lila looks. She sees the car. + +They poke each other and laugh. They see more and more clouds. They poke and poke and poke. + +They poke too much. They feel dizzy. They spin and spin. They close their eyes. They stop poking. + +They open their eyes. They see each other. They smile. + +"Are you okay?" Lila asks. + +"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Ben asks. + +"I'm okay. That was fun!" Lila says. + +"That was fun!" Ben says. + +They hug. They get up. They go down the hill. They hold hands. They still see the clouds. They still feel happy. +Anna and her mom were going to the airport. They wanted to see Anna's dad, who worked far away. Anna was happy, but also a little scared. She had never been on a big plane before. + +"Mom, what if the plane is loud and fast?" Anna asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Anna. "Don't worry, sweetie. The plane is safe and fun. You can look out the window and see the clouds and the birds. And I will be with you all the time. You can hold my hand or cuddle with your teddy bear." + +Anna nodded and hugged her teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a red bow. Anna loved her teddy bear. It always made her feel better. + +They got to the airport and checked in their bags. There were many people and noises. Anna felt nervous. She held mom's hand and teddy bear tightly. + +"Mom, where is dad?" Anna asked. + +"He is waiting for us at the gate. We have to go through security first. They will check our tickets and bags and make sure we are not carrying anything bad. It's okay, they are friendly and helpful. Just follow me and do what they say." + +Anna nodded and followed mom. They went through security and found their gate. There was dad, waving and smiling. Anna ran to him and gave him a big hug. + +"Dad, dad, I missed you so much!" Anna said. + +"I missed you too, honey. I'm so proud of you for being brave and flying with mom. How are you feeling?" + +"I'm feeling good, dad. Mom and teddy bear comforted me. They said the plane is safe and fun. And now we are together. I love you, dad." + +"I love you too, Anna. And I love mom and teddy bear. Come on, let's go to the plane. We have a big adventure ahead of us." +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big red button on the wall. They wondered what it did. + +"Let's press it!" Ben said. He ran to the button and reached for it. + +"No, don't!" Lily said. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "Mommy said we can't touch it. It's not for us." + +"But I want to see what happens. Maybe it makes a funny sound or a funny light. Maybe it makes candy come out!" Ben said. He tried to resist Lily and get to the button. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to make Mommy angry or break something. She held on to Ben and said, "Please, Ben, listen to me. It's not a toy. It could be dangerous. We can play with something else. Look, we have blocks and books and dolls. They are fun, too." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was serious and worried. He did not want to make her sad or scared. He also did not want to get in trouble. He sighed and said, "Okay, Lily, you are right. I'm sorry. Let's play with something else. But can we pretend that the button does something funny?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, Ben, we can pretend. But only pretend. We won't touch it, okay?" + +"Okay," Ben said. They hugged and went to play with their toys. They pretended that the button made funny sounds and lights and candy. They had a lot of fun. They did not touch the button. They were good children. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a sandbox, a swing, and a slide. One day, it rained a lot and made the yard very wet and muddy. Sam and Mia wanted to go out and splash in the puddles, but their mom said they had to wear their boots. + +Sam and Mia ran to their room and looked for their boots. Sam found his blue boots under his bed and put them on. Mia found her pink boots in the closet and tried to put them on. But they were too small for her feet. She tried to push and pull, but they did not fit. She felt frustrated and started to cry. + +"Mom, my boots are too small!" she yelled. + +Mom came to the room and saw Mia crying and Sam waiting. She looked at Mia's boots and said, "Oh, Mia, you have outgrown your boots. You need new ones. But we don't have time to go to the store now. Why don't you wear Sam's boots? He can wear your boots. They are the same size, just different colors." + +Mia looked at Sam's boots and said, "But I don't like blue. I like pink. And Sam doesn't like pink. He likes blue." + +Sam nodded and said, "That's right. I don't want to wear pink boots. They are for girls. I want to wear blue boots. They are for boys." + +Mom sighed and said, "I know you have your favorite colors, but it's not a big deal. Boots are just boots. They are for keeping your feet dry and warm. And you can only wear them for a little while. Then you can change back to your shoes. Please, try to share and be nice to each other. It's more fun to play together than to fight over boots." + +Sam and Mia looked at each other and thought for a moment. They did not want to miss the fun of playing in the puddles. They did not want to make their mom sad. They did not want to be mean to each other. They decided to change their boots and try to have fun. + +"Okay, mom. We will change our boots," they said. + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam and Mia. You are very good twins. Now, go and have fun. But don't get too dirty. And be careful." + +Sam and Mia changed their boots and ran outside. They splashed in the puddles, made mud pies, and slid down the slide. They laughed and played and forgot about the colors of their boots. They had a lot of fun. And they learned that sometimes, it's good to change. +Tommy loves his puppy, Spot. Spot is sweet and soft and likes to play. Tommy likes to hug Spot and give him treats. But sometimes, Spot is naughty and pinches Tommy with his teeth. + +One day, Tommy and Spot are playing in the yard. Spot sees a ball and runs after it. Tommy runs after Spot and tries to get the ball. But Spot is faster and grabs the ball in his mouth. Tommy reaches for the ball and says, "Give me the ball, Spot!" + +Spot does not want to give the ball. He growls and shakes his head. He pinches Tommy's hand with his teeth. Tommy feels a sharp pain and cries, "Ow, Spot! That hurts! Bad puppy!" + +Spot hears Tommy cry and drops the ball. He feels sorry and licks Tommy's hand. He wags his tail and whines. He wants to say sorry and play again. + +Tommy sees Spot's sad face and forgives him. He picks up the ball and throws it. He says, "It's okay, Spot. I know you didn't mean it. Let's play, boy!" + +Spot barks and chases the ball. Tommy chases Spot and laughs. They are happy and have fun. They are best friends. +One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big ladder leaning on the wall. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something fun!" + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily said. "Mama said we should not climb ladders. They are dangerous." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the ladder and started to climb. Lily followed him, because she did not want to be alone. + +When they reached the top of the ladder, they saw a mysterious house. It had a dark roof, a broken window, and a scary door. Ben and Lily felt curious and afraid. + +"Let's go inside the house!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool!" + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily said. "Mama said we should not go into strange houses. They are scary." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He jumped off the ladder and ran to the house. Lily followed him, because she did not want to be left behind. + +When they entered the house, they saw a lot of old things. There were dusty books, rusty toys, and torn clothes. Ben and Lily felt excited and nervous. + +"Let's look around the house!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something nice!" + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily said. "Mama said we should not touch things that are not ours. They are dirty." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He picked up a shiny knife and played with it. Lily followed him, because she did not want to be bored. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben cut his finger with the knife. He cried out loud and dropped the knife. Blood came out of his finger. It hurt a lot. + +"Help me, Lily!" Ben said. "I need to heal my finger!" + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily said. "Mama said we should not play with knives. They are sharp." + +But Lily felt sorry for Ben. She tried to help him. She looked for a bandage or a cloth. But she could not find anything. The house was too old and too dirty. + +They heard a loud noise. It was the door. Someone was coming in. It was not Mama. It was a mean man. He had a big beard, a big hat, and a big stick. He looked angry and scary. + +"Who are you?" the man said. "What are you doing in my house? How did you get in?" + +Ben and Lily felt scared and sorry. They did not know what to say. They did not know what to do. They wished they had listened to Mama. They wished they had not climbed the ladder. They wished they had not entered the house. They wished they had not played with the knife. + +But it was too late. The man grabbed them and locked them in a dark room. He said he would not let them go. He said he would make them pay. He said he would hurt them more. + +Ben and Lily cried and cried. They hugged each other and prayed. They hoped Mama would find them. They hoped Mama would save them. They hoped Mama would heal them. + +But Mama did not come. Mama did not know. Mama did not hear. + +The moral of the story is: You should always listen to your Mama. She knows what is best for you. She wants to keep you safe and happy. She loves you very much. +Lily and Tom were bored. They had nothing to do. Their toys were dull and old. They wanted to have some fun. + +"Let's decorate the wall!" Lily said. She found some crayons and stickers in her drawer. Tom nodded. He liked to draw and stick things. + +They went to the wall and started to decorate it. They drew flowers and stars and animals. They stuck hearts and circles and letters. They made the wall colorful and pretty. + +But they did not see Mom coming. Mom was angry. She saw the wall and shouted. + +"What have you done? You have made a mess! You are not allowed to decorate the wall! You have to clean it up!" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped their crayons and stickers. They said sorry to Mom. They did not mean to make her mad. + +Mom gave them a cloth and a bucket of water. They had to wipe the wall and remove the crayons and stickers. It was hard work. It took a long time. + +As they cleaned, they felt an itch on their hands. They looked and saw red spots. They had used Mom's crayons and stickers. They were not for kids. They were for grown-ups. They had something in them that made kids itch. + +They cried and scratched. They felt bad. They wished they had not decorated the wall. They wished they had played with their toys. They learned their lesson. They never did it again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sack near a tree. They are curious. They want to know what is in the sack. + +"Let's open the sack!" Tom says. + +"Maybe it is a surprise!" Lily says. + +They run to the sack and pull the string. The sack opens and they see many toys inside. There are balls, dolls, cars, books and more. Tom and Lily are happy. They think the sack is for them. + +"Wow, look at all these toys! We can own them!" Tom says. + +"Yes, we can! Let's take them home!" Lily says. + +They start to put the toys in their arms. But then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my sack?" The voice is angry. It is a man. He is the owner of the sack. He is a toy seller. He brings the sack to the park to sell the toys to children. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the toys and run away. They do not want the man to catch them. They do not want to get in trouble. + +They run back to their homes. They hug their parents. They feel safe. They learn a lesson. They should not take things that do not belong to them. They should ask before they touch. They should be honest and kind. They are sorry for what they did. They hope the man will forgive them. They hope the other children will enjoy the toys. They still have their own toys to play with. They are still friends. They are still happy. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park in summer. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to share their toys and snacks. + +One day, Ben brought a new ball to the park. It was red and shiny. Lily wanted to play with it too. She asked Ben, "Can I have a turn with your ball?" Ben said, "No, it is mine. You have your own toys." Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "You are not friendly. You are mean." She ran away and played with other kids. + +Ben felt sorry and lonely. He missed Lily. He wanted to play with her again. He thought, "Maybe I was too selfish. Maybe I should share my ball with Lily." He looked for Lily in the park. He saw her sitting on a bench with a doll. He walked to her and said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. You can have a turn with my ball. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I am sorry too. I was rude. You can have a turn with my doll. Do you want to be friends again?" Ben nodded and hugged Lily. He said, "Yes, I do. You are my best friend. I forgive you." Lily said, "I forgive you too. You are my best friend. Let's play together." They took their toys and ran to the playground. They were happy and friendly again. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in Lily's room. Lily had many toys, and she was very organized. She always put her toys in the right boxes and shelves. Max had fewer toys, and he was not very organized. He often left his toys on the floor or mixed them with Lily's toys. + +One day, Lily's mom said she had to go out for a while. She told Lily and Max to be good and not to make a mess. She also told them not to touch her cake in the kitchen. She said it was for a special occasion. She made them promise to obey her. Lily and Max said yes, they promised. + +But after Lily's mom left, Max got bored of playing with the toys. He wanted to see the cake. He told Lily to come with him to the kitchen. Lily said no, they promised mom not to touch the cake. Max said it was okay, they would just look at it, not eat it. He said he was curious. He said Lily was a chicken if she did not come. Lily did not like to be called a chicken. She followed Max to the kitchen. + +The cake was big and beautiful. It had white frosting and colorful sprinkles. It smelled very good. Max wanted to taste it. He said it was just a little bite, no one would notice. He took a knife and cut a small piece of the cake. He put it in his mouth. It was very sweet and yummy. He said Lily should try it too. Lily said no, they promised mom not to touch the cake. Max said it was too late, they already broke the promise. He said Lily was a baby if she did not try it. Lily did not like to be called a baby. She took the knife and cut another piece of the cake. She put it in her mouth. It was very sweet and yummy. + +They ate more and more of the cake. They did not notice how much they ate. They spread the frosting and the sprinkles all over the table and the floor. They made a big mess. They forgot about the promise. They forgot about mom. + +Mom came back sooner than they expected. She saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the cake. She was very angry. She yelled at Lily and Max. She said they were naughty and dishonest. She said they broke the promise. She said they ruined the cake. She said the cake was for Lily's birthday. She said she had no more cake for Lily. She said Lily and Max had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. She said they could not play together for a long time. + +Lily and Max felt very bad. They cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late. They had no cake. They had no mom. They had no friend. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big pass in the park. The pass has many trees and flowers. They want to go inside and explore. + +"Look, Tom, a pass!" Mia says. "Let's go and see what is there." + +"OK, Mia, but be careful. Maybe there are bugs or snakes," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk into the pass. They see many colors and shapes. They hear birds and bees. They smell grass and fruit. They are happy and curious. + +But then, they see a big bear. The bear is angry and hungry. The bear sees Tom and Mia. The bear roars and runs towards them. The bear is powerful and fast. + +"Help, Mia, a bear!" Tom shouts. "Run, run, run!" + +They try to run away, but the bear is faster. The bear catches them and destroys them. The bear eats them and leaves. The pass is quiet and sad. The blocks and cars are alone. Tom and Mia are gone. The end. +Sara was a dancer.

You are the best. I love you, Sara." + +She put the picture in an envelope and wrote her grandma's address. She asked her mom to help her mail it. Her mom said, "That's very sweet of you, Sara. Your grandma will be very happy to get your picture. You are a kind and gentle girl." + +Sara and her mom went to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. Sara waved to the mailbox and said, "Bye bye, letter. Have a good trip. Say hi to Grandma for me." + +Moral: The story shows that Sara is a grateful and loving granddaughter, who expresses her feelings through her art and words.

But there was a problem, the tree was on the other side of a big river. + +Tweet thought hard and decided he needed to cross the river to get to the tree. He looked around and saw two options: he could either swim or fly across. Tweet knew he wasn't a good swimmer, so he chose to fly. + +As Tweet started flying towards the tree, he saw another bird named Chirp. Chirp was very competitive and didn't like anyone getting the fruits before him. So, Chirp started following Tweet, trying to beat him to the tree. + +But Tweet was smart. He knew Chirp was following him, so he flew faster and reached the tree first. Tweet enjoyed the juicy fruits while Chirp watched from afar. From that day on, Tweet learned that sometimes it's better to choose the right option and be smart, rather than just being competitive. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.
