They found a nice spot and sat down on the grass. + +"Look, a bug!" Ben said, pointing to a small black thing on a leaf. He reached out to touch it. + +"Careful, Ben. It might bite you," Lily warned. She had learned that some bugs can hurt you with their mouths. + +Ben did not listen. He wanted to see the bug up close. He picked up the leaf and brought it to his face. The bug did not like that. It bit Ben on his nose. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried, dropping the leaf and rubbing his nose. It was red and sore. He felt tears in his eyes. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. That was not fair. The bug was mean to you." + +She gave him her water bottle and said, "Here, drink some water.

She learnt a valuable lesson that day- not everything can be cleaned. +Once upon a time there were two best friends, a rabbit and a 1 bear. Every night, they would get together to tell stories. +One night, the bear was feeling fearful because of a storm outside.

The rabbit was chewing on something. + +Henry asked, "What are you chewing?" + +The rabbit replied, "I'm chewing some carrots I found in the garden. Don't be scared. I won't hurt you". + +Henry smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm not scared anymore". + +The rabbit smiled back and said, "You're welcome. Come and join me, I have enough carrots for us both". + +Henry happily agreed and they both enjoyed eating the carrots together. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Bob and Sally.

She started to cry and sat down on the warm grass. She did not want to move and wanted the pain to stay away. + +Suddenly, the butterfly flew down and softly touched her leg. It fluttered away and the sharp pain turned into a warm feeling. The little girl stood up and felt the warmth healing her leg. Although the hurt was still there, it seemed to stay away. + +From then on, she felt an urge to explore the colorful world around her, and followed the butterfly wherever it went. +"Hello, what do you have?" said the big man at the store. + +"This is my equipment," answered the 3 year old child. + +They both went inside, and the big man said, "Let's go pick out something to drink!"

The rabbits look at each other and agreed. + +The bear started to explain his plan. He said that he could cook some food for all of them, and then they could eat together. The rabbits were excited about the plan but then one of them said "What happens if we fight again? + +The bear smiled and said "That won't happen. When we eat together, it makes us friends." The rabbits thought the bear was right. + +After the bear had cooked the meal, they all shared it together. The rabbits were so full and happy. For the first time, they decided to share the food instead of fighting. From that day on, the large bear and the two small rabbits were the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Larry and Baby. Larry was a tall rabbit, and Baby was a small, shy mouse. +One day, they were walking in the park and found a big puddle.

He brought the boat to the edge of the lake, but discovered it was all dried up and there was no water. + +Jack was so disappointed and he began to wonder why the lake was so dry. So, he went around the lake and started searching for clues. + +Soon the little boy found a big rock blocking the way of the flowing stream. He realized that the rock was preventing the water from flowing into the lake. Jack thought quickly and came up with a brilliant plan. He pushed and rolled the rock out of the way and soon the water began to flow. + +Jack was so proud that he had been able to help the lake to be full of water again. It was heartwarming for him to see the lake filled up with water once more. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to think ahead and come up with creative solutions in order to fix any problems you may have. If Jack hadn't solved the problem, the lake would have remained dry. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Daniella. She was only three years old and loved to explore the world around her. + +One morning, Daniella put on her favourite pink dress. It had a yellow buckle on the front. She waved goodbye to her mum and set off for a walk. + +As she skipped down the street, Daniella noticed a very strange bird on a fence. It had a blue crest and a long red beak. The bird was waving its wings up and down. It wasn't behaving normally. + +Daniella looked around and noticed several other birds, all behaving the same way. She clapped her hands and said, "Hello birds! Why are you waving your wings like that?" + +The birds looked at her and one of them made a funny noise. It was her talking! The bird flapped its wings and said, "It's morning and we like to wave to welcome the day." + +The other birds nodded in agreement and kept waving. Daniella smiled and waved back. She said goodbye to the birds, skipped down the street, and waved to her mum when she came back home. +Emma and Mum were in the kitchen. Emma was excited because it was her birthday. + +"What can we do?" asked Emma. + +Mum smiled. "We can make something special," she said. + +Mum got out a wrap and some light things. She put them in a bowl. + +"What are we making?" asked Emma. + +"We're making a surprise!" said Mum. + +Mum and Emma worked together to mix everything together. Mum put it into the wrap and tied it up. + +"Now for the best part!" said Mum. + +Mum served the surprise to Emma. It looked yummy. + +"Happy Birthday, Emma!" said Mum, giving her a big hug. + +Emma smiled. She couldn't wait to eat her special surprise. +Once upon a time, there was a big house. Inside the house lived a family of four, Mama, Papa, a little girl named Daisy and her brother who was called Ben. + +One day, Daisy wanted to know where Mama and Papa went every day. Mama said they both worked at the university. Daisy asked what that meant and Papa explained that it was like a big playground and he and Mama went there to do important grown up jobs. + +Daisy thought that it sounded really fun and so she asked if she could go too. Papa said that she was too small but that when she was older she could go to university. Daisy thought this was a good idea but she was sad because she wanted to go now. + +Mama said to cheer up and that she could hope for the future and when she was old enough she could go to university. Daisy was very excited at this thought, and she started to look forward to her future. She knew she could do anything if she worked hard and she hoped that one day she would be big enough to go to university. +One day, a little girl named Emma was playing in her garden. Suddenly, she saw a mighty brick. She ran towards it and shouted to her mum: "Mum, look! A mighty brick!". + +Mum smiled and said: "What luck! Let's hurry and make something with it!". + +So the two of them worked hard. They put a lot of effort into making something with the brick. After some time, Emma's mum proudly said: "Look Emma, we made a really nice tower". + +Emma's eyes sparkled. She hugged her mother and said: "Our work looks mighty!" They both laughed. Then they continued to build other things with the brick until it was time to go inside. +Once upon a time, there was a mummy and a little girl. The little girl was 3-years-old, and the mummy was very generous. +The mummy gave the little girl a magazine to read.

She was so fascinated by all the stories and pictures. +The mummy was happy to see the little girl being so well behaved and having fun with the magazine. +Mummy was generous and happy, and little girl was happy too. +Once upon a time there was a little girl.

Sitting in the middle of the park was a big yellow tube! Emma's friends were curious and wanted to find out what was inside the tube. + +So, Emma decided to introduce the tube to her friends. She walked up to the tube and knocked on it. Suddenly, something popped out! It was a sour-tasting candy! + +Emma's friends were so excited. They all ran to the tube and took a piece of the sour candy. Emma laughed as her friends faces turned sour from eating the candy. + +They played together for the rest of the day and had lots of fun. The tube was their best friend now! +Once upon a time there was a boy who liked sports. But he did not like just any sport, he liked fancy sports. He would go to the store and buy expensive, fancy sports items. One day he went to play one of his fancy sports and he didn't like it. So he quit. + +The little boy felt sad but he also felt relieved at the same time. He knew it was time to quit but he was afraid of what people would think. + +He was walking down the street when he saw a sign. It said: "Join our sports club! We have all different types of sports to try." The little boy was intrigued, so he decided to go in. + +Once he was inside, he felt like he was in a different world. Everyone was talking about sports and having a good time. He decided that he wanted to give sports another try. He said to his new friends, "Will you help me try a sport?" + +All of his friends nodded and cheered. It was nice to have friends that supported him in trying something new. The little boy felt brave and excited to try a fancy sport again. He was sure this time he wouldn't quit. +Once upon a time, there was a popular crab named Tommy. Tommy liked to explore the beach and search for shells. One day, Tommy's friend, Sammy the Snail, asked if he wanted to explore a new part of the beach. So, Tommy and Sammy turned onto a new trail. + +They explored for a while until Tommy saw something curious. It was a shiny shell next to a big rock. He tried to reach it, but it was too high up. So, Tommy thought of a plan. + +"I know," Tommy said. "If we turn the big rock over, I'm sure the shell will drop right into my claw!" + +So, Tommy and Sammy worked together to turn the rock. Sure enough, the shining shell dropped right into Tommy's claw. Tommy was so excited -- he'd never seen a shell that shiny in all his days of exploring! + +Later that day, they went back to the same part of the beach to show their friends. Everyone thought the shell was beautiful, and it quickly became the most popular shell at the beach. +Once upon a time there was a small, strong ant. He was very brave and loved to search for food. + +One day, the ant found a delicious crumb of cake in the garden. He couldn't wait to get it back to his family. But when he tried to move the crumb, it wouldn't budge. He was so small and the crumb was too big! + +The ant looked around and saw a big, strong grasshopper nearby. The ant asked the grasshopper to help him carry the crumb. The kind grasshopper generously agreed to help and the two carried the crumb back to the ants' home. + +The ant was so grateful for the grasshopper and learned an important lesson; sometimes even with muscles, you need help from others. +John was walking in the park. He was wearing his favourite pants - blue ones with a patch on the knee. He felt happy and successful. Suddenly, he heard an odd sound. + +John stopped, wondering what it could be. He looked around, but he only saw birds and tree. He listened carefully, and then he heard it again: it was a voice, asking for help! + +John quickly followed the voice, and he saw a little boy, sitting on the ground and crying. + +"What's wrong, little boy?" asked John. + +The little boy wiped his eyes and said, "I can't come down from the branch I am sitting on!" + +John smiled and held out hishands. "Come to me," he said. "I will help you." + +The little boy was soothed by John's careful voice. He stretched out his arm and soon he was back on the ground. John wiped the dirt off the boy's pants and smiled. + +John taught the little boy an important lesson that day - if we ask for help it will come. And, with help, we can always be successful! +One day, a hunter named Mike went looking for an animal. He had been searching for hours already and was starting to feel tired. He trudged through the forest, looking for signs of the animal, when suddenly he heard a noise behind him. + +Mike turned around and saw a little fox. "Hello there!" he said. The fox didn't respond, just ran off into the forest. + +Mike followed the little fox and eventually found the animal he had been searching for: a small rabbit! Mike was so excited that he had found his quarry that he picked up the rabbit and hugged it tight. + +The fox was watching, and when Mike looked up, it opened its mouth and said, "Nicely done, hunter!" Mike couldn't believe his ears. He thanked the fox and put the rabbit down. + +The fox then said, "I can help you find other animals, if you'd like?" Mike said that he would and the fox led Mike all around the forest, helping him find more animals. + +Eventually, Mike became very tired from all their searching. He thanked the fox and said his goodbyes. The fox smiled and said, "Until next time, hunter!" Mike smiled and walked away, content that he had finally found what he was looking for. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers called Adam and Jack. Adam was very patient, and Jack was always running around and causing mischief. + +One day, the two brothers went to the market with their parents. There were many luxury items on display and the parents asked the brothers to behave. But Jack still misbehaved! He shouted, ran around, and refused to leave. + +Adam, however, was very patient. He calmly waited in line, not shouting or running around, and listened to what his parents said. + +Once they were back home, the parents praised Adam for his behaviour and rewarded him with a toy car. Jack found it unfair, so the parents taught him a lesson. They explained that if he behaves well, it would bring him even greater luxury! + +With this lesson in mind, Jack began to learn to be patient and listen to his parents. +Once upon a time, there was a mama and a baby.

It's mine." + +Peggy was scared but she also knew she had done nothing wrong. She looked up at the man and said, "I'm sorry, but I already have this food. Please, let me buy it." + +The man glared at Peggy, but then he stepped aside.

"Today is a special day, so let's celebrate. We can keep this special chain as a symbol of our day." + +Ray and his Daddy grabbed the chain and took it out of the water. Ray felt both excited and confused - a strange mix of feelings.

The crab was quiet and only stared back, so Jim continued to wonder. + +Then, out of nowhere, a wave came crashing down from the sky. When the wave finished, the crab was gone.

She started to complain to her mom that nothing was happening with her pan. + +Her mom chuckled and said, "Filling your pan with random things is fun, but if you don't have a plan it can get really boring." + +Lola learned an important lesson that day: if you want fun, take the time to make a plan first. Then you can fill the pan with whatever you want and the fun won't stop! +Once upon a time there was a huge boat that sailed across the sea. It was a beautiful boat with lots of windows and sails that shimmered in the sunlight. + +On this boat there was a little boy called Jack.

One day, she went to a restaurant with her mommy and saw a charming boy sitting at the table next to them. + +Lily: "Mommy, that boy is charming. Can I say hi?" + +Mommy: "Sure, you can go say hi." + +Lily walked over to the boy and said hello. They started talking and Lily found out that the boy loved waffles too. + +Boy: "I love waffles. Do you want to share one with me?" + +Lily: "Yes, please!" + +The waiter brought over a waffle for them to share. They ate it quickly and then the boy said, "Let's go outside and run as fast as we can. We can see who can speed the fastest." + +Lily and the boy ran outside and raced each other. They both ran really fast, but in the end, Lily won the race. They both laughed and had a great time playing together. From that day on, they became good friends and would often eat waffles and race each other. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and run around outside. One day, she went to the park with her mommy. While they were playing, Lily saw a butterfly and chased after it. She was having so much fun that she didn't notice her mommy calling her. + +Suddenly, Lily fell down and hurt her hand. Her mommy ran over to her and promised to make it all better. But Lily was very careless and didn't listen when her mommy told her to be careful. She kept running around and playing. + +Soon, it was time to go home. Lily's mommy tried to hold her hand, but Lily didn't want to listen. She ran ahead and didn't look where she was going. Sadly, she fell down again and hurt herself even more. This time, her mommy couldn't make it all better. Lily learned that sometimes it's important to listen and be careful, but it was too late. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She liked to wear pretty dresses with flowers on them. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big squash on the ground. It was so big that Lily could barely carry it, but she wanted to take it home. Her mom helped her bring it back to their house. + +When they got home, Lily's dad saw the squash and said it was the biggest one he had ever seen! They decided to make soup with it. Lily helped her mom cut the squash into pieces and they put it in a big pot with some water. They added some spices and let it cook for a long time. + +Finally, the soup was ready and they all sat down to eat. Lily's dad said the soup was delicious and Lily felt proud that she had helped make it. She was happy to have a modest dinner with her family and enjoyed wearing her pretty dress while they ate. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, Lily went to the bathroom to take a bath. She turned on the water and put some bubbles in the tub. She got in and splashed around. Lily liked to soak in the warm water for a long time. + +Suddenly, Lily's little brother came into the bathroom. He was very angry because he wanted to take a bath too. Lily told him to wait, but he didn't want to. He started to cry and stomp his feet. Lily's mommy came in and told her brother to be patient. She said he could take a bath after Lily was done soaking. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside and explore the forest behind his house. One day, he found a delicate arrow on the ground. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Timmy said to himself. + +Just then, his friend Billy came over. + +"Hey Timmy, what did you find?" Billy asked. + +"I found a delicate arrow! Isn't it neat?" Timmy said. + +Billy looked at the arrow and then made a joke. "Maybe it's a magic arrow that will take us on an adventure!" + +Timmy laughed and said, "That would be so fun!" + +The two boys decided to follow the arrow and see where it led them. They walked through the forest, over hills and through streams. Finally, they came to a clearing where they found a treasure chest full of gold coins. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Timmy said. + +"I can't believe we found all this treasure!" Billy exclaimed. + +The boys were so happy and grateful for their adventure. They knew they would always remember the delicate arrow that led them to their treasure. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They had a big tent, some toys and a picnic. They were having fun, but they also saw some mosquitoes flying around. They did not like mosquitoes. They made them itch and hurt. + +"Go away, mosquitoes!" Lily said. "You are not nice. You are not our friends." + +Ben nodded. He had a spray bottle with water. He tried to squirt the mosquitoes, but they were too fast. He was frustrated. + +"Maybe we can include them in our game," he said. "Maybe they are lonely and want to play." + +Lily thought about it. She was compassionate. She did not want to hurt anyone, even mosquitoes. But she was also scared. + +"How can we play with them?" she asked. "They will bite us." + +Ben had an idea. He took a toy net and a toy jar. He ran after a mosquito and caught it in the net. He put it in the jar and closed the lid. He showed it to Lily. + +"Look, we have a pet mosquito!" he said. "We can name it and feed it and talk to it." + +Lily looked at the mosquito. It was buzzing and trying to get out. She felt sorry for it. + +"Ben, I don't think it likes being in the jar," she said. "It wants to be free. It is not happy." + +Ben looked at the mosquito. He realized Lily was right. He was compassionate too. He did not want to make anyone sad, even mosquitoes. + +"You are right, Lily," he said. "Let's let it go. Maybe it will find some other mosquitoes to play with." + +He opened the jar and let the mosquito fly away. He and Lily waved goodbye to it. + +"Bye, mosquito!" they said. "Have fun. Be nice. Don't bite." + +They went back to their tent and their picnic. They were happy. They had learned something new. They had been compassionate. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big birdcage on the table. Inside the birdcage, there is a cute yellow bird. The bird sings and flaps its wings. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Lily says. "It is so cute and pretty!" + +"Can we play with the bird?" Ben asks. "I want to touch it and hold it." + +Lily and Ben go to the table and try to open the birdcage. But the birdcage is locked. They cannot open it. + +"Maybe we can pull the birdcage down," Ben says. He grabs the birdcage and pulls hard. Lily helps him. + +But the birdcage is too heavy and too big. Ben and Lily cannot pull it down. Instead, they pull it off the table. The birdcage falls to the floor with a loud crash. The bird is scared and flies out of the birdcage. + +"Oh no, the bird is out!" Lily cries. "We have to catch it!" + +Ben and Lily run after the bird. They try to catch it with their hands. But the bird is too fast and too smart. It flies around the living room, dodging the twins. + +"Stop, stop, bird!" Ben shouts. "Come back to the birdcage!" + +But the bird does not listen. It flies to the window and sees the sky. It wants to be free. It flies out of the window and into the air. + +"Bye, bye, bird!" Lily says. She is sad and sorry. She likes the bird. + +"Bye, bye, bird!" Ben says. He is sad and sorry too. He likes the bird. + +Lily and Ben look at the broken birdcage on the floor. They feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They wait for their mom to come home. They hope she will not be angry. They hope the bird will be happy. +Tommy was a spoiled boy. He always got what he wanted from his mom and dad. He had many toys, books, and games, but he was never happy. He always wanted more. + +One day, he saw a big clock in the store. It was shiny and colorful, and it made funny noises. Tommy wanted the clock very much. He said to his mom, "I need that clock! I need it now!" + +His mom said, "No, Tommy, you don't need that clock. You have enough things at home. And the clock is too expensive. We have to save money for other things." + +Tommy was very angry. He screamed and cried and kicked. He said, "You are a bad mom! You don't love me! I hate you!" + +His mom was very sad. She tried to calm him down, but he would not listen. He threw a tantrum in the store. Everyone looked at them and shook their heads. + +A nice lady came over and said to Tommy, "Why are you so rude to your mom? She loves you and takes care of you. You should be grateful and respectful. The clock is not important. What is important is your mom's feelings." + +Tommy stopped crying and looked at the lady. He felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said to his mom, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't need the clock. I love you." + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "I love you too, Tommy. Thank you for saying sorry. Let's go home and have some cookies." + +Tommy nodded and held his mom's hand. He learned a lesson that day. He decided to be a good boy and not a spoiled boy. He was happy with what he had. And he never asked for the clock again. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a big cake with pink frosting and four candles. She had many presents to open. She had a new dress, a doll, a book, and a puzzle. + +She liked all her presents, but she loved the puzzle the most. It was a puzzle of a farm with many animals. The pieces were thick and easy to hold. She wanted to make the puzzle right away. She asked her mom to help her. + +They put the puzzle on the floor and looked at the picture on the box. They found the edge pieces and the corner pieces. They put them together to make a frame. Then they looked for the pieces that matched the animals. Lily found the cow, the pig, the horse, and the sheep. She admired the puzzle. It was so pretty and colorful. + +She said, "Thank you, mom, for the puzzle. It is my favorite present. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. Happy birthday, my sweet girl." +Timmy and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there is a squirrel or a mouse," Timmy said. + +"Or a fairy or a treasure," Lily said. + +They walked to the tree and looked in the hole. They saw two big eyes and a beak. It was an owl. The owl was not happy. It made a loud noise and flew out of the hole. It scratched Timmy's face with its claws. Timmy cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! It hurts!" Timmy said. + +Lily was scared. She hugged Timmy and tried to help him. She saw some blood on his face. She ran to get their mom. + +"Mom, mom, come quick! An owl hurt Timmy!" Lily said. + +Mom heard Lily and ran to them. She saw Timmy's face and took him in her arms. She cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it. She kissed him and hugged him. + +"It's okay, Timmy. You are brave. The owl was scared too. It didn't mean to hurt you," Mom said. + +Timmy stopped crying. He looked at the owl. The owl was sitting on a branch. It looked at Timmy. Timmy was angry. + +"I hate you, owl! You are mean and bad!" Timmy said. + +The owl blinked and tilted its head. It made a soft noise and flew away. Timmy watched it go. He felt a little sorry. + +"Maybe the owl was just protecting its home. Maybe it didn't hate me," Timmy said. + +Mom smiled and nodded. She took Timmy and Lily by the hand and walked to the car. + +"Let's go home and have some ice cream. That will make you feel better," Mom said. + +Timmy and Lily agreed. They liked ice cream. They forgot about the owl. They were happy. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a unique cap that Sara's grandma made for her. It was pink and purple and had a big flower on it. + +One day, Sara took Lily to the park. She wanted to show her cap to her friends. But when she got there, she saw a boy with a cap just like Lily's. He was playing with a truck on the grass. + +"Hey, that's my cap!" Sara said to the boy. She ran to him and tried to take the cap from his head. + +"No, it's mine!" the boy said. He held on to the cap and pushed Sara away. + +Sara was angry and sad. She thought Lily's cap was unique, but now someone else had the same one. She felt like she lost something special. + +She went back to her mom, who was sitting on a bench. She told her what happened and cried. + +"Shh, it's okay, Sara," her mom said. She hugged her and wiped her tears. "You didn't lose anything. You still have Lily and her cap. And you know what? You can gain something too." + +"What can I gain?" Sara asked. + +"You can gain a new friend," her mom said. "Maybe the boy likes your cap because he thinks it's pretty, like you. Maybe he wants to play with you and share his truck. Why don't you go and talk to him nicely?" + +Sara thought about it. She liked trucks too. And she liked to make new friends. Maybe her mom was right. + +She took Lily and her cap and went to the boy again. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. What's your name?" + +The boy looked at her and said, "I'm Ben. I like your cap. It's like mine." + +"Thank you. I like your truck. It's big and red," Sara said. + +"Do you want to play with it?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, please. And do you want to play with Lily?" Sara asked. + +"Okay. She's cute," Ben said. + +They sat on the grass and played with the truck and the doll. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the caps. They gained a new friend. +Lila was a little girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was a mermaid doll with a shiny tail and a crown. She called her doll Mia and pretended that she was a princess of the sea. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mom and brought Mia with her. She saw a boy playing with a toy dragon that had big wings and sharp scales. She thought the dragon was scary and ugly. She said to the boy, "Your toy is bad. My toy is better. She is a mermaid and she is rich and pretty." + +The boy looked at Lila and said, "No, your toy is not better. My toy is good. He is a dragon and he is strong and brave. He can fly and breathe fire." + +Lila and the boy started to argue and pull each other's toys. They did not want to share or play together. Their mommies came and told them to stop fighting and be nice. They said, "You should not judge toys by how they look. You should look at their hearts and see how they feel. Maybe your toys can be friends if you give them a chance." + +Lila and the boy felt sorry and said sorry to each other. They decided to try to play together and see what their toys could do. They found out that Mia and the dragon had something in common: they both liked to kiss. They made them kiss each other and pretended that they were in love. They laughed and had fun. + +Lila and the boy learned a lesson that day. They learned that different toys can be good and beautiful in their own ways. They learned that kissing is a way to show love and kindness. They learned that playing together is better than fighting. They became friends and shared their toys. They were happy. +Tommy was very sad. His uncle was sick and had to go to the hospital. Tommy loved his uncle very much. He liked to play with him and listen to his stories. He did not want his uncle to leave. + +"Why does uncle have to go?" Tommy asked his mom. + +"Uncle has a bad bug in his body. The doctors will try to make him better. But we have to be brave and pray for him, okay?" Mom said. + +Tommy nodded, but he felt helpless. He wished he could do something to help his uncle. He remembered that his uncle always said, "Believe in yourself and you can do anything." + +Tommy thought hard. He decided to make a card for his uncle. He took some paper and crayons and drew a picture of him and his uncle smiling and holding hands. He wrote, "I love you, uncle. I believe in you. Get well soon." + +He showed his mom his card. She smiled and hugged him. + +"That's a very nice card, Tommy. I'm sure uncle will love it. You are a very good boy. You are not helpless. You are helping your uncle with your love and faith." + +Mom took Tommy to the hospital. They gave the card to uncle. Uncle smiled and thanked Tommy. He said, "You are a very smart and kind boy, Tommy. I love you too. I believe in you. And I believe I will get better soon." + +Tommy felt happy. He knew his uncle was strong and brave. He knew his card made his uncle feel better. He learned that he could help others with his words and actions. He learned that believing was a powerful thing. +Lily likes to sort things. She sorts her toys by color, shape and size. She sorts her books by big and small. She sorts her clothes by warm and cool. Sorting makes her happy. + +One day, Lily goes to the doctor with her mom. The doctor says she needs an x-ray. Lily does not know what an x-ray is. She feels scared. The doctor tells her an x-ray is a special picture of her bones. He says it will not hurt. He says it will help him see if she is healthy. + +Lily follows the doctor to a big machine. The machine has a screen and a camera. The doctor asks her to stand still and smile. He puts a heavy coat on her chest. He says it will protect her from the x-ray. He goes behind a wall and pushes a button. The machine makes a beep sound. The screen shows a picture of Lily's bones. Lily sees her ribs, her spine, her arms and her legs. She thinks it is amazing. + +The doctor comes back and takes off the coat. He looks at the screen and smiles. He says Lily is very healthy. He says she has strong bones. He gives her a sticker and a lollipop. He says she is a brave girl. He says she can go home. + +Lily is happy. She thanks the doctor and hugs her mom. She shows her sticker and her lollipop to her mom. She tells her mom about the x-ray. She says she wants to sort the x-rays by big and small. She says she wonders if the doctor has more x-rays available. She says she wants to see the bones of other animals. She says sorting x-rays would be fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books and toys. Lily and Ben are happy. + +Lily sees a big book with pictures of animals. She likes animals. She wants to see the book. She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have this book, please?" Her mom says, "Yes, you can. But you have to share it with Ben, okay?" Lily says, "Okay, mom. Thank you." + +Lily takes the book and goes to Ben. She says, "Ben, look at this book. It has animals. Do you want to see it with me?" Ben says, "Yes, I do. I like animals, too. Can I hold the book, please?" Lily says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful, okay?" Ben says, "Okay, Lily. Thank you." + +Lily and Ben sit on the floor. They open the book. They see many animals. They see a lion, a monkey, a zebra, and a giraffe. They point at the animals and say their names. They make the sounds of the animals. They have fun. + +Their moms watch them and smile. They are proud of Lily and Ben. They say, "Lily and Ben are good friends. They share and request nicely. They learn new things. They are true and open." Lily and Ben hear them and smile, too. They are happy. +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. Lily wanted to climb the tree, but Tom was afraid. + +"Come on, Tom, it's fun!" Lily said. "You can see a lot of things from up here." + +"No, thank you, Lily. I like to stay on the ground. I want to examine this bow I found." Tom said. He held a little bow made of wood and string. He wondered who left it there and what it was for. + +Lily shrugged and climbed higher. She saw a bird's nest with three eggs inside. She was curious and reached out her hand to touch them. But then she heard a loud squawk. A big bird flew towards her and pecked at her head. It was the mother bird, and she was angry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "Help, mom, help!" + +Mom heard Lily's scream and ran to the tree. She saw the bird and the nest and understood what happened. She called Lily to come down quickly and gently. + +"Lily, you should not touch the bird's eggs. They are not yours. They belong to the bird and she loves them very much. She was protecting them from you." Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to see them." Lily said. She felt sorry for the bird and the eggs. She climbed down and hugged mom. + +Tom came over with his bow. He saw Lily's tears and felt sorry for her too. He wanted to cheer her up. + +"Look, Lily, I found this bow. Do you want to play with it?" Tom said. He offered his bow to Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. That's very nice of you. What can we do with it?" Lily said. She smiled and took the bow. + +"We can pretend to be hunters or archers or heroes. We can make arrows out of sticks and feathers. We can shoot at targets or cans or balloons. We can have a lot of fun." Tom said. + +"Okay, that sounds fun. Let's do that." Lily said. + +They ran to find some sticks and feathers and cans and balloons. They played with the bow and had a lot of fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad they were happy and safe. She hoped they learned something from their adventure. +Tommy liked to look at the stars at night. He had a book with pictures of the stars and the planets. He learned that they were part of the universe, a big place with many things. He wanted to see more of the universe, so he asked his mom to order a telescope for him. She said yes, but he had to wait for a few days. + +Tommy was very excited. He counted the days until the telescope came. He hoped it would not be gloomy, because then he could not see the stars. He wished for clear skies and bright stars. + +The day the telescope came, Tommy was very happy. He opened the box and saw the shiny metal and the big lens. He thanked his mom and ran outside with the telescope. He set it up on the grass and looked through the eye piece. He saw the moon, big and round. He saw some stars, twinkling and sparkling. He was amazed. + +But then, he saw something else. Something dark and scary. Something that made him shiver. It was a big black hole, sucking in everything around it. It was coming closer and closer to the earth. Tommy screamed and dropped the telescope. He ran inside and hugged his mom. He told her what he saw. She looked worried and turned on the TV. + +The TV said that the black hole was real. It was a big problem for the universe. It could destroy everything. The TV said that people were trying to stop it, but they did not know how. Tommy felt very scared. He wished he never ordered the telescope. He wished he never saw the black hole. He wished he could go back to the time when he only saw the moon and the stars. +Lila and Ben were playing with their animal toys. They liked to match the animals with their sounds and colors. Lila had a leopard toy that was yellow and black. She made a loud roar with her mouth. + +"Look, Ben, this is a leopard. It can run very fast and hunt other animals. It is very strong and brave," Lila said. + +Ben had a zebra toy that was white and black. He made a soft neigh with his mouth. + +"Look, Lila, this is a zebra. It can run very fast too, but it does not hunt other animals. It eats grass and lives in a herd. It is very smart and friendly," Ben said. + +They put the leopard and the zebra next to each other. They looked at their colors and shapes. + +"Do they match, Lila?" Ben asked. + +Lila shook her head. "No, they do not match. They are different. The leopard has spots and the zebra has stripes. The leopard is a hunter and the zebra is a prey. The leopard is fierce and the zebra is gentle," Lila said. + +"Then why are they playing together?" Ben asked. + +Lila smiled. "Because they are toys, Ben. They are not real animals. They do not have to be afraid of each other. They can be friends," Lila said. + +Ben nodded. He liked that idea. He hugged his zebra toy and Lila hugged her leopard toy. They made them talk to each other in funny voices. + +"Hello, leopard. You are very pretty. I like your spots," the zebra toy said. + +"Hello, zebra. You are very nice. I like your stripes," the leopard toy said. + +They laughed and played together. They were not fearful of anything. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a magic wand that could make things happen. They got the wand from their grandma, who said it was a special gift. She also told them to be careful and only use it for good. + +One day, they were bored and restless. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. They looked at the wand and wondered what it could do. + +"Let's order a pizza with the wand!" Ben said. He loved pizza and he was hungry. + +"Okay, but how do we do that?" Lily asked. She liked pizza too, but she was not sure how the wand worked. + +"Maybe we have to say a spell, like grandma does. Let's try this: pizza, pizza, come to us, we are hungry, make a fuss!" Ben said, waving the wand in the air. + +Nothing happened. They waited and waited, but no pizza came. + +"Maybe we said the wrong spell. Let's try again. Pizza, pizza, please be here, we are hungry, have no fear!" Lily said, waving the wand again. + +Still nothing happened. They were getting frustrated and sad. They wished they had a real pizza. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it, hoping it was the pizza. But it was not. It was a big, scary bear, holding a pizza box. + +"Hello, I'm here to deliver your pizza. You ordered it with this wand, right?" the bear said, showing them the wand. + +Ben and Lily screamed and slammed the door. They realized they had made a big mistake. They had ordered a pizza from the wrong place. They had ordered a pizza from the forest, where the bears lived. + +They ran to their room and hid under the bed. They hoped the bear would go away. They learned their lesson. They decided to never use the wand again, unless grandma was with them. They also decided to never order pizza with a spell. They would rather ask their mom or dad. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a big box of tools that their dad gave them. They liked to pretend they were fixing things with the tools. + +"Look, I made a car with this hammer and this screwdriver," Tom said, showing Lily his toy. + +"That's not a car, that's a mess," Lily said. She did not like Tom's car. She wanted to make a house with the tools. "Give me the hammer, I need it for my house." + +"No, it's mine, I found it first," Tom said. He did not want to share the hammer. He liked the hammer. It was his favorite tool. + +Lily was angry. She tried to grab the hammer from Tom, but he held it tight. They started to fight over the hammer. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, coming out of the house. She heard them fighting. She did not like it when they fought. "What are you doing with those tools? They are not toys, they are dangerous. You could hurt yourselves or break something." + +"But mom, we are just playing," Tom said. He did not want to stop playing. He liked playing with the tools. + +"Playing with tools is not safe," their mom said. "You have to put them back in the box and find something else to play with. How about this ball? You can play catch with the ball." + +Tom and Lily did not want to play with the ball. They wanted to play with the tools. They complained to their mom. They said the ball was boring and the tools were fun. They were persistent. They did not listen to their mom. + +Their mom was tired of their complaining. She said, "Fine, if you want to play with the tools, you can play with the tools. But don't come crying to me if you get hurt or break something. And don't make a mess in the yard. I'm going inside to make lunch." + +She left them alone with the tools. Tom and Lily were happy. They thought they won. They went back to their game. + +But their game did not end well. Tom tried to make his car better with the saw. He sawed the screwdriver in half. But the saw slipped and cut his finger. He screamed in pain. Lily tried to make her house bigger with the nails. She nailed the hammer to the box. But the nail bent and hit her eye. She cried in fear. + +They both ran to their mom, bleeding and crying. Their mom was shocked and angry. She took them to the hospital. They had to get stitches and bandages. They learned their lesson. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had played with the ball. +Lily was a cat who liked to sleep on the sofa. She did not like it when the human came home and made noise. The human always wanted to play with her, but Lily wanted to be left alone. + +One day, the human came home with a big box. He put the box on the floor and opened it. Lily saw something move inside the box. It was a small dog. The human said, "Look, Lily, this is Max. He is your new friend. He will keep you company when I am not here." + +Lily did not like the dog. He was loud and smelly and had sharp teeth. He jumped out of the box and ran towards Lily. He barked and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with her, too. Lily hissed and ran away. She looked for a safe place to hide, but the dog followed her everywhere. He tried to bite her tail and lick her face. He knocked over the lamp and the vase. He made a big mess. + +Lily was angry and scared. She wanted the dog to go away. She wanted the human to take him back. She climbed on the sofa and scratched the human's arm. She said, "Meow! Meow! Meow!" She hoped the human would understand her. + +The human looked at Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, don't be mean. Max is just a puppy. He doesn't know any better. He needs time to learn. You need to be nice to him. He is your brother now. You have to share the sofa and the toys and the food. You have to get along." + +Lily did not want to get along. She did not want to share anything. She did not want a brother. She wanted to be alone. She jumped off the sofa and ran to the bedroom. She found a quiet spot under the bed. She curled up and closed her eyes. She hoped the human and the dog would leave her alone. She hoped they would forget about her. She hoped they would not bother her again. +Lily was excited to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. She ran to the bedroom and looked for a good spot to hide. She saw a big box under the bed and crawled inside. She pulled a rag over her head and waited for Tom to find her. + +Tom counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked in the closet, under the desk, behind the curtains, but he could not find Lily. He wondered where she was hiding. He went to the bedroom and saw the box under the bed. He thought Lily might be in there. + +He walked to the box and lifted the rag. He saw Lily's face and smiled. He said, "I found you, Lily!" But Lily did not smile back. She did not move or make a sound. She was very still and cold. Tom felt scared and sad. He screamed for Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad came running to the bedroom. They saw Tom and Lily and the box. They saw the rag and the hole in the box. They saw the rat poison that had spilled from the hole. They realized what had happened. They cried and hugged Tom.

"Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben told her their story. They both blamed each other. They both wanted the blue blocks. + +Mom shook her head. She said, "You both have to learn to share and be kind. The blocks are for everyone. You can't demand them or break them. You have to say please and thank you and sorry. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They hugged and said they were friends. + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, let's clean up the mess and fix the cracks. Then you can play again. But this time, try to use all the colors and shapes. They are more fun that way." + +Lily and Ben agreed.

They shared and were kind. They had fun. +Lily and Ben like to play music. They have a drum, a flute, a guitar and a piano. They take turns to play different instruments.

Lily plays the drum and Ben plays the flute. They try to find a rhythm that sounds good. They sing some words that they make up. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +"Your song is very original," says Mom, who is listening to them. "Original" means that it is new and different.

But only if you share it with me sometimes," Tom said, smiling. + +"OK, I will share it with you. You are my best friend," Lily said, hugging Tom. + +They put the shell in their bucket and went back to digging. They hoped to find more shells and maybe even a starfish. They were very jolly and had a lot of fun on the shore. +Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big truck with many black rocks. The truck stopped near their house. + +"What are those?" Lily asked. + +"Those are coal. They make fire and smoke," Tim said. + +"Why are they so dirty?" Lily asked. + +"Because they come from the ground. They have dirt and dust on them," Tim said. + +The truck driver got out of the truck. He saw Tim and Lily. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to see the coal?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Lily said. + +The truck driver opened the back of the truck. He took out a piece of coal and gave it to Tim. He took out another piece and gave it to Lily. + +"Be careful, they are heavy and dirty. You can touch them, but don't put them in your mouth," he said. + +Tim and Lily felt the coal. It was hard and rough. It made their hands black. + +"Wow, they are cool!" Tim said. + +"Thank you, mister!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Have fun, but don't make a mess," the truck driver said. + +He got back in the truck and drove away. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They smiled. They had a new toy to play with.

Her toys, clothes and books were everywhere. She could not find her book in the drawer. + +"Who made this mess?" she asked in a loud voice. + +"It was me, Lily. I'm sorry," said her little brother Ben. He came out from under the bed. He had a guilty look on his face. + +"Why did you do that, Ben?" Lily asked. She was angry and sad. + +"I wanted to play with your toys and read your books. But I could not put them back. I did not know where they belong," Ben said. He looked down. + +Lily sighed. She loved her brother, but he was very naughty sometimes. She decided to help him clean up the mess. She showed him where to put the toys, the clothes and the books. She found her book in the drawer and gave it to him. + +"Here, Ben. You can read this book with me. But next time, please ask me first. And don't make a mess in my room," she said. + +"OK, Lily. Thank you. I'm sorry. I love you," Ben said. He hugged her. + +Lily smiled. She hugged him back. She was not angry anymore. She was happy to share her book with him.

"But not too fast!" + +They climbed on the round thing and pushed it with their feet. It started to spin faster and faster. Sara and Lily laughed and held on tight. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Sara said. "Look at the trees and the sky! They are all blurry!" + +Lily nodded. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She liked to spin, but she also felt something in her tummy. It was not a good feeling. + +"Sara, I feel dizzy!" Lily said. "Can we stop?" + +Sara heard Lily and looked at her. Lily was pale and her eyes were big. Sara felt sorry for her friend. + +"Okay, Lily, we can stop!" Sara said. "I'll make it slow down!" + +Sara tried to stop the round thing with her feet, but it was hard. It was still spinning fast. Sara and Lily waited for it to slow down. They felt very dizzy. + +Finally, the round thing stopped. Sara and Lily got off and sat on the grass. They felt the ground under them. They were glad to stop spinning. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Sara asked. + +Lily nodded. She took a deep breath. She felt better. + +"I'm okay, Sara," Lily said. "But I don't want to spin anymore. It made me dizzy and sick." + +Sara hugged Lily. She was a good friend. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Sara said. "I didn't mean to make you dizzy and sick. I just wanted to have fun." + +Lily smiled. She was a good friend too. + +"It's okay, Sara," Lily said. "I know you wanted to have fun. But maybe we can play something else. Something that doesn't make us dizzy and sick." + +Sara thought for a moment. She remembered something. + +"I have an idea, Lily!" Sara said. "Let's play with my pink ball! It's in my backpack. We can throw it and catch it and roll it. It's fun and it doesn't make us dizzy and sick!" + +Lily liked Sara's idea. She liked Sara's pink ball. It was bright and soft and bouncy. + +"Okay, Sara!"

They bring a big bowl of popcorn to the couch. Anna and Ben are happy. They like popcorn. It is crunchy and salty and yummy. They take some popcorn and put it in their mouths. + +But something is wrong. The popcorn is not crunchy and salty and yummy. It is soft and sweet and smelly. Anna and Ben spit out the popcorn. They make a face. They say, "Ew, this popcorn is bad. What is this?" + +Mom and dad smile. They say, "This is not popcorn. This is candy corn. It is a special treat for Halloween. It is supposed to be soft and sweet and smelly. Do you want to try again?" + +Anna and Ben look at the candy corn. It is yellow and orange and white. It looks like popcorn, but it is not popcorn. It glows in the dark. Anna and Ben think it is cool. They say, "OK, we will try again. But only a little bit." + +They take some candy corn and put it in their mouths. They chew slowly. They taste the sugar and the honey and the butter. They say, "Hmm, this candy corn is not so bad. It is different, but it is good. Can we have some more?" + +Mom and dad laugh. They say, "Sure, you can have some more. But not too much. You don't want to get a tummy ache. And don't forget to brush your teeth before bed. Candy corn is good, but it is not good for your teeth." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "OK, we will brush our teeth. But first, can we watch the movie? We want to see what happens next." + +Mom and dad say, "Of course, you can watch the movie. Come on, let's cuddle on the couch. We have a lot of candy corn and a lot of movie to enjoy." + +They all sit on the couch and watch the movie. They eat some candy corn and some popcorn. They laugh and cry and get scared. But they always have fun. +Ben was a baby who liked to drink milk from his bottle. He had a blue bottle with a picture of a cow on it. He always took his bottle with him when he went to bed, to the park, or to his grandma's house. His bottle was his reliable friend. + +One day, Ben and his mom went to the store to buy some food. Ben saw a big red bottle on a shelf. It had a picture of a dinosaur on it. Ben wanted the red bottle. He pointed at it and said, "Mom, mom, bottle, bottle!" + +Mom looked at the red bottle and said, "No, Ben, you don't need another bottle. You have your blue bottle at home. It's your reliable bottle. Let's go, we have to pay for the food." + +But Ben did not listen. He started to cry and scream. He demand the red bottle. He said, "Mom, mom, bottle, bottle, want, want, now, now!" + +Mom was very tired and sad. She did not like it when Ben demand things. She said, "Ben, stop crying. You can't have everything you want. You have to be a good boy and share. The red bottle is for another baby who does not have a reliable bottle like you. Come on, let's go home and drink some milk from your blue bottle." + +Ben did not want to go home. He wanted the red bottle. He kicked and wailed. He made a big fuss.

She picked it up and wondered what it was for. She decided to look for more screws and see if she could make something with them. + +She wandered into the kitchen, where her mom was cooking. She saw a drawer with a lot of screws and tools. She opened the drawer and took out some screws and a screwdriver. She thought they looked like fun toys. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked, when she saw her with the screws and the screwdriver. + +"I'm playing with screws, mom. They are shiny and fun," Anna said. + +"Anna, those are not toys. They are tools. They are for fixing things, not playing. You could hurt yourself or break something with them. Put them back in the drawer, please," her mom said. + +"But mom, I want to make something with them. I'm adventurous," Anna said. + +"Being adventurous is good, but you also need to be careful and listen to your mom. Screws are not for making things, they are for holding things together. If you take them out, things might fall apart. Like this chair, for example. It has screws in it. If you unscrew them, the chair will break. Do you want that?" her mom said. + +Anna looked at the chair and shook her head. She did not want to break the chair. She realized that screws were important and not toys. She said sorry to her mom and put the screws and the screwdriver back in the drawer. + +"Good girl, Anna. I'm glad you understand. You can be adventurous, but you also need to be respectful and responsible. There are many other things you can play with and make things with, like blocks, crayons, or clay. Why don't you go to your room and find something else to do?" her mom said. + +Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She said thank you and went to her room.

She says they can help her clean up. + +After they clean up, Mom says they can watch a video. She puts a white disc in the machine. The video is about animals. Anna and Ben like animals. They sit on the couch and watch the video. They see lions, elephants, monkeys, and more. They learn their names and sounds. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and thank her for the cake and the video. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them. They eat the cake and enjoy the video. They have a good day. +Lily was a little girl who loved dogs. She wanted to have a dog of her own, but her mom said no. She said dogs were too much work and too messy. Lily was sad, but she hoped that one day she would get a dog. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. The dog was playing with a ball. Lily wanted to play with the dog, too. She asked her mom if she could pet the dog. Her mom said yes, but she had to ask the owner first. + +Lily walked up to the owner, a nice lady with a smile. She said, "Hello, can I pet your dog?" The lady said, "Sure, his name is Max. He is very friendly. He likes to give his paw." Lily reached out her hand and said, "Hi, Max. Can you give me your paw?" Max looked at Lily and lifted his paw. Lily took his paw and shook it. She felt happy. + +Lily and Max played for a while. They threw the ball, ran around, and cuddled. Lily felt like Max was her friend. She wished she could take him home. She asked the lady, "Can I have Max? He is so nice and fun." The lady looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie, but Max is my dog. I can't give him to you. He is my best friend." + +Lily felt sad. She understood that Max belonged to the lady, but she still wanted him. She hugged Max and said, "Bye, Max. I will miss you." Max licked her face and wagged his tail. He seemed to say, "Bye, Lily. I will miss you, too." + +Lily and her mom left the park. Lily was quiet on the way home. She thought about Max and how much she liked him. She wondered if she would ever see him again. + +When they got home, Lily saw a big surprise. There was a box on the porch. It had a bow and a card. The card said, "To Lily, from Mom. I love you." Lily opened the box and gasped. Inside was a puppy. A small dog with black fur and a pink nose. The puppy looked at Lily and wagged his tail. He jumped out of the box and ran to Lily. He licked her face and gave her his paw. Lily felt happy. + +Lily hugged the puppy and said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you for giving me a dog. He is so cute and sweet. What is his name?" Her mom smiled and said, "His name is Rex. He is your dog. He was at the shelter. He had no home and no family. He was lonely and sad. He needed someone to love him and take care of him. I thought you would be perfect for him." + +Lily looked at Rex and said, "Hi, Rex. I love you. You are my dog. You are my best friend." Rex looked at Lily and said, "Woof. I love you. You are my girl. You are my best friend." They played and cuddled. They were happy. + +Lily remembered Max and the lady. She hoped they were happy, too. She thought maybe they would meet again at the park. She thought maybe they could all be friends. She thought maybe Rex and Max could give each other their paws. She thought maybe the lady could give her mom a hug. She thought maybe they could all share the ball. She thought maybe they could all have fun. + +Lily smiled. She had a dog. She had a mom. She had a home. She had a family. She had everything she wanted. She felt happy. +Anna loved to sing and dance. She wanted to perform for many people and make them happy. She asked her mom to buy her a video camera, so she could record her songs and dances and show them to everyone. + +"Mom, please, please, can I have a video camera?" Anna begged. "It is my dream to be a star!" + +"Anna, a video camera is very expensive. We don't have enough money to buy one. Why don't you use your imagination and make your own stage and props?" Mom said. + +"But mom, that is not the same. I want to see myself on the screen and share my talent with the world!" Anna said. + +"Anna, you don't need a video camera to perform. You can perform for your family and friends, and they will love you and clap for you. You can also perform for yourself, and be proud of your skills. The most important thing is to enjoy what you do and have fun. That is what makes a true star!" Mom said. + +Anna thought about what mom said. She realized that mom was right. She didn't need a video camera to perform. She had her voice and her body, and she could use them to express herself and make others happy. She hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. Now, why don't you show me your latest song and dance?" + +Anna nodded and ran to her room. She put on her favorite dress and hat, and grabbed her hairbrush as a microphone. She sang and danced with all her heart, and mom watched and clapped with joy. Anna felt like a star, and she was happy. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had a big box of toys in Tim's room. One day, they decided to play outside in the yard. + +They took their favorite cars and trucks and ran to the big tree. The tree had many branches. Tim and Sam climbed up the tree and found a good spot to make a road. They used sticks and leaves and stones to make the road. They put their cars and trucks on the road and made them zoom. + +"Look at my car, it's so fast!" Tim said. He made his car zoom past Sam's truck. + +"My truck is stronger, it can push your car off the road!" Sam said. He made his truck zoom after Tim's car. + +They laughed and zoomed their toys on the road. They did not see the big bird that was sitting on a higher branch. The bird was watching them. The bird did not like the noise. The bird was hungry. + +The bird flew down and grabbed Tim's car in its beak. Tim and Sam were shocked. They saw the bird fly away with Tim's car. + +"Hey, that's my car! Give it back!" Tim shouted. He tried to climb up the tree to chase the bird. + +"Be careful, Tim, the branch is weak!" Sam warned. He saw the branch bend under Tim's weight. + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted his car back. He climbed higher and higher. The branch cracked and broke. Tim fell down with the branch. He landed on the ground with a thud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cried. He was hurt and dirty. His car was gone. + +Sam climbed down the tree and ran to Tim. He hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tim, are you okay?" + +Tim sniffled and said, "I'm okay, Sam, but I miss my car. It was my favorite." + +Sam looked at his truck and said, "You can have my truck, Tim. It's your favorite too." + +Tim smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam, you are a good friend." + +They hugged and played with the truck. They did not zoom it too loud.

He took a big spoon and scooped some jelly from the jar. + +"Tom, don't be greedy!" Mom said. "Share the jelly with Lily. She likes jelly too." + +"But I want more jelly!" Tom said. He put the spoon in his mouth and made a loud slurp. + +Lily looked at Tom. She was angry. She thought Tom was being mean. She wanted some jelly too. She reached for the jar and tried to grab it from Tom. + +"Hey, stop it!" Tom said. He pulled the jar back and held it tight. "This is my jelly!" + +"No, it's not!" Lily said. She pulled harder and harder. "It's our jelly!" + +They both pulled and pulled. The jar wobbled and shook. Then it slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The jar broke and the jelly splashed everywhere. It made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken jar and the jelly on the floor. She saw Tom and Lily covered in jelly. She was not happy. + +"Look what you did!" Mom said. "You wasted the jelly and made a big mess. You were both selfish and silly. Now you have to clean up and say sorry to each other." + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They knew they were wrong. They looked at each other and said sorry. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They learned to share and be nice. + +They also learned that jelly was sticky and ugly when it was on the floor. They decided they did not like jelly so much anymore. They liked apples and cheese better. +Lily and Sam loved to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favourite was the big aeroplane. The aeroplane was red and blue and had wings and wheels and a door. They liked to pretend they were flying to different places. + +One day, Lily and Sam had a fight. Lily wanted to play with the aeroplane by herself. She said it was her turn and she did not want to share. Sam was sad and angry. He said it was not fair and he wanted to play too. Lily was selfish and did not care. + +She took the aeroplane and ran to her room. She closed the door and locked it. She put the aeroplane on her bed and smiled. She thought she was clever and happy. But she was wrong. + +She tried to get inside the aeroplane and fly away. But she was too big. She could not fit. She pushed and pulled and squeezed. But she could not fit. She hurt herself and the aeroplane. She broke the wing and the wheel and the door. She cried and cried. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was Sam. He said he was sorry and he wanted to play with her. He said he had a new toy to show her. It was a rocket. It was green and yellow and had a window and a button. He said they could both fit inside and fly to the moon. + +Lily felt sorry too. She said she was sorry and she wanted to play with him. She said she had broken the aeroplane and she was sad. She opened the door and hugged him. He hugged her back. + +They took the rocket and the aeroplane and went to the living room. They fixed the aeroplane with tape and glue. They played together and shared. They flew to the moon and back. They were not selfish. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They like to pretend that they are a nurse and a doctor, and they have a lot of supplies to help their patients. They have a stethoscope, a bandage, a syringe, a thermometer, and a teddy bear. + +"Hello, nurse Anna," says Ben. "I have a very sick patient here. He has a fever and a sore throat. Can you please check him with your thermometer and give him some medicine?" + +"Of course, doctor Ben," says Anna. "Let me see your patient. Oh, he is very hot and he looks very sad. Poor teddy bear. I will put the thermometer in his mouth and see how high his fever is." + +Anna waits for a few seconds and then looks at the thermometer. "Oh no, doctor Ben, he has a very high fever. He needs some medicine right away. Can you please give me the syringe and the bandage from the supply box?" + +Ben nods and opens the supply box. He takes out the syringe and the bandage and hands them to Anna. Anna fills the syringe with some water and pretends to inject it into the teddy bear's arm. Then she wraps the bandage around the teddy bear's arm and gives him a hug. + +"There, there, teddy bear. You will feel better soon. Nurse Anna and doctor Ben are here to help you. You are a very brave patient," says Anna. + +"Thank you, nurse Anna. You are a very good nurse. And thank you, doctor Ben. You are a very smart doctor. I love you both," says the teddy bear in a weak voice. + +Anna and Ben smile and hug the teddy bear. They are very happy that they helped their patient. They do not notice that they made a big mess in the living room. They have water, bandages, and toys everywhere. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" says mom, who comes into the living room and sees the messy scene. "You have made a huge mess. You need to clean up right now." + +"Sorry, mom," say Anna and Ben. "We were playing nurse and doctor. We had to help our sick teddy bear. He had a very high fever." + +Mom sighs and shakes her head. She is not very happy, but she is also proud of her children. They have good imaginations and they are kind and caring. She helps them clean up the mess and then gives them a snack. + +"Next time, please play with your supplies in a less messy way," says mom. + +"Okay, mom," say Anna and Ben. "We will try to be more careful. But can we still play nurse and doctor?" + +"Of course, you can," says mom. "But only after you finish your snack." + +Anna and Ben nod and eat their snack. They are still thinking about their teddy bear patient. They hope he will get well soon. They love playing nurse and doctor. It is their favorite game. +Lily and Ben are playing pirates in the garden. They have a big box that is their ship, and a stick that is their flag. They also have a hook that Ben made from a coat hanger and some tape. + +"Arrr, matey, I am Captain Ben, and this is my ship!" Ben says, waving his hook in the air. "We are looking for hidden treasure on the island!" + +"I am First Mate Lily, and I have the map!" Lily says, holding a piece of paper with some scribbles on it. "The treasure is under the big tree with the red flowers!" + +They jump out of the box and run to the tree. They pretend to dig with their hands and find a small box with some shiny coins and beads inside. + +"Wow, we found it!" Lily says, opening the box. "Look at all the gold and jewels!" + +"Yay, we are rich!" Ben says, grabbing some coins. "But wait, what is that sound?" + +They hear a loud bark and see a big dog running towards them. The dog is wearing a hat and a scarf, and has a bone in its mouth. + +"Oh no, it's the enemy pirate!" Ben says, scared. "He wants to steal our treasure!" + +"Quick, hide the box!" Lily says, looking for a place to put it. "He can't find it if it's hidden!" + +They see a hole under the tree and put the box inside. Then they run back to their ship and hide behind it. + +The dog reaches the tree and sniffs around. He sees the hole and digs it up. He finds the box and opens it. He sees the coins and beads and thinks they are toys. He starts to play with them and toss them in the air. + +"Look, he is performing a show for us!" Lily says, peeking from behind the box. "He is a funny pirate!" + +"Maybe he is not so bad after all," Ben says, smiling. "Maybe he can be our friend!" + +They come out of their hiding place and wave to the dog. The dog sees them and wags his tail. He runs to them and licks their faces. + +"Hi, pirate dog!" Lily says, petting him. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks and drops the bone. He picks up the hook and gives it to Ben. + +"Wow, thank you!" Ben says, taking the hook. "You are very nice!" + +The dog barks again and nods his head. + +"His name is Hook!" Lily says, laughing. "He likes hooks!" + +They all laugh and hug. They decide to share the treasure and play together. They are happy pirates. +Ben and Lily liked to ride their bikes in the park. They had red bikes with big wheels and bells. They rode fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was green and spiky and tall. It looked like a big stick with arms. "What is that?" Ben asked. "I don't know," Lily said. "Let's go and see." + +They rode their bikes to the new thing. They got off their bikes and looked at it. It was hard and prickly and dry. "It's a cactus," a voice said. They turned around and saw a man with a hat and a shovel. He was digging a hole near the cactus. + +"Hello," Ben and Lily said. "What is a cactus?" "A cactus is a plant that grows in the desert," the man said. "It does not need much water. It has needles to protect itself from animals. I brought this cactus from my home to plant it here. Do you like it?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They thought the cactus was strange and cool. They wanted to touch it, but the man said no. "It will hurt you," he said. "You can look, but don't touch." Ben and Lily said okay. They thanked the man and said goodbye. They got on their bikes and rode away. They had learned something new. +Tom and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They had a big bag with clothes and toys. Mom said, "We will stay here for two nights. Let's unpack the bag and put our things in the room." + +Tom and Lily followed Mom to the room. They saw a big bed, a small table, and a window. They helped Mom unpack the bag. Tom took out his car and his ball. Lily took out her doll and her book. They put their things on the table. + +"Can we go outside and play?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. The farm has many animals and plants. Some of them are rough and can hurt you. And don't go too far from the house," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They ran outside and saw a big yard. They saw cows, sheep, chickens, and a dog. They also saw trees, flowers, and grass. They wanted to touch everything. + +Lily saw a rose. It was red and pretty. She reached out to pick it. But she felt a sharp pain in her finger. She cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +Tom heard her cry. He ran to her. He saw blood on her finger. He said, "What happened?" + +Lily showed him her finger. She said, "The rose has a cut. It cut me. It is rough and mean." + +Tom hugged her. He said, "Don't cry. Let's go to Mom. She will make it better." + +They ran to the house. Mom saw them. She said, "What's wrong?" + +Lily showed her finger. She said, "The rose cut me. It hurts." + +Mom took her finger. She said, "Oh, poor Lily. The rose has thorns. They are rough and can cut you. You have to be careful. Let me wash your finger and put a band-aid on it." + +Mom washed Lily's finger and put a band-aid on it. She kissed it and said, "There. All better. Do you feel better?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. And I love you, Tom. You are a good brother. You helped Lily." + +Tom smiled. He said, "I love you, Mom. And I love you, Lily. You are a good sister. You are brave." + +Mom said, "You are both good and brave. Now, do you want to go outside and play again?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, please." + +Mom said, "OK, but remember to be careful. And have fun." + +Tom and Lily said, "We will. Bye, Mom." + +They ran outside and played. They had fun. They saw many things. But they did not touch the roses. They knew they were rough and could cut them. They were careful. They were happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were hunters in the jungle. They had sticks that they called spears. They threw them at the trees and bushes, making loud noises. + +"Look, Tom, I see a lion!" Lila said, pointing at a big yellow dog. "Let's grab our spears and catch it!" + +Tom nodded and followed Lila. They ran towards the dog, waving their spears. The dog barked and wagged its tail. It thought they were playing too. + +"Roar!" Lila shouted, trying to scare the dog. "We are brave hunters!" + +The dog licked Lila's face, making her giggle. Tom threw his spear, but it missed the dog and hit a man. The man was sitting on a bench, eating a sandwich. He was not happy. + +"Hey, watch out!" the man yelled. "You almost hit me with your spear!" + +He looked at his sandwich and saw that it had red sauce on it. He took a bite and made a funny face. He spit out the sandwich and coughed. + +"Yuck! This is spicy!" he said. "Who put this sauce on my sandwich?" + +Lila and Tom looked at each other. They remembered that they had found a bottle of red sauce in the trash. They thought it was paint and they had put some on the man's sandwich when he was not looking. They thought it was a funny prank. + +They felt bad for the man. They knew they had done something wrong. They ran to the man and said they were sorry. + +"We are sorry, mister," Lila said. "We did not know it was spicy. We thought it was paint." + +"We were playing hunters," Tom said. "We did not mean to hurt you." + +The man was still angry, but he saw that they were just kids. He sighed and calmed down. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "But don't do that again. Spicy sauce is not paint. And don't throw spears at people or dogs. That's dangerous." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They gave the man their spears and said they would not play hunters anymore. They decided to play something else. Something safer and nicer. Like tag or hide and seek. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with their blocks and zoomed their cars around. Sometimes they pretended their cars could talk and tell jokes. + +One day, Ben had a new car. It was red and shiny and had a big spoiler. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look at my new car! It is the fastest and coolest car ever! It can zoom faster than any other car!" + +Lily looked at Ben's car and smiled. She liked Ben and his cars, but she also liked to make jokes. She had a plan. She said, "Wow, your car is very nice, Ben. But can it zoom faster than my car?" She pointed to her car. It was blue and old and had a dent. + +Ben laughed. He thought Lily was joking. He said, "Your car? Your car is slow and ugly! It can't zoom faster than my car! Let's race and see who wins!" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, let's race. But we have to be polite and say 'ready, set, go' before we start." + +Ben agreed. He said, "OK, let's be polite. Ready, set, go!" He zoomed his car as fast as he could. He was sure he would win. + +But Lily did not zoom her car. She waited. She waited until Ben's car was far away. Then she said, "Zoom!" and pressed a button on her car. Her car had a secret. It had a rocket. The rocket made her car fly in the air. It flew over Ben's car and landed in front of it. Lily won the race. + +Ben was surprised. He did not know Lily's car had a rocket. He said, "Wow, Lily, your car can fly! That's amazing! How did you do that?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's a joke, Ben. A funny joke. I wanted to make you laugh. Do you like my joke?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He was a little sad that he lost the race, but he was also happy that Lily made a joke. He liked jokes. He said, "Yes, Lily, I like your joke. It's a very good joke. You are very clever. And your car is very cool. Can I try it?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Sure, Ben, you can try it. But be careful. The rocket is very fast. And don't forget to say 'zoom'!" + +Ben and Lily played with their cars. They zoomed and flew and laughed. They had fun. They were good friends. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to walk to the pond and see the ducks. They bring bread to feed them. The ducks are happy and quack. + +One day, they see a new duck at the pond. He is big and white and has a red thing on his head. He looks proud and loud. He does not share the bread with the other ducks. He pushes them away and takes all the bread for himself. + +"Hey, that is not nice!" Tim says to the big duck. "You should share with the others. They are hungry too." + +The big duck does not listen. He snorts and says, "I am the best duck in the pond. I do not need to share with anyone. You are just small and silly. Go away!" + +Mia feels sad and angry. She says to Tim, "He is a mean duck. He does not know how to be humble. Humble means you are kind and not selfish. You are humble, Tim. And so are the other ducks." + +Tim smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are humble too. And you are my friend. Let's go to the other side of the pond. Maybe we can find some more bread and some nice ducks to share with." + +They walk to the other side of the pond. They see some brown and black ducks. They are humble and friendly. They share the bread with Tim and Mia. They quack and swim together. Tim and Mia are happy. They have fun at the pond. +Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They are very excited. They are going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They are going to the beach. They have never seen the sea before. + +They pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. They also include a bucket and a spade. They want to make sandcastles. They say goodbye to their dog, Spot. Spot is sad. He cannot go with them. He will stay with Grandma. + +They get in the car and drive for a long time. They sing songs and play games. They look out of the window and see trees, cows and houses. They ask Mum and Dad, "Are we there yet?" Mum and Dad say, "Soon, soon." + +They arrive at the beach. They see the blue sea and the yellow sand. They hear the waves and the seagulls. They smell the salt and the fish. They are very happy. They run out of the car and onto the sand. + +They make sandcastles, collect shells and splash in the water. They have a picnic with sandwiches, fruit and juice. They laugh and have fun. They say, "This is the best holiday ever!" Mum and Dad smile and hug them. They are very proud. They say, "We love you, Tom and Anna!" +Lily and Max were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They got in the car and put on their buckles. Mom said, "You have to behave in the car and at the zoo. No shouting, no running, no touching the animals. Do you understand?" Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom." + +They drove for a long time and saw many things on the way. They saw big buildings, green trees, red lights, and yellow buses. They also saw some people who looked very sad and dirty. They had no homes, no cars, no clothes, no food. Lily asked, "Mom, why are those people so sad and dirty?" Mom said, "They are poor, Lily. They don't have enough money to buy the things they need. We are lucky, we are not poor. We have a home, a car, clothes, food. We are rich." + +Lily and Max thought about what mom said. They felt sorry for the poor people. They wondered what they could do to help them. They decided to share some of their things with them. They took out their toys, their snacks, their books, and their hats from their bags. They asked mom and dad to stop the car near the poor people. They got out of the car and gave their things to the poor people. The poor people smiled and thanked them. They said, "You are very kind and generous. You have made us happy." + +Lily and Max felt happy too. They hugged the poor people and said, "You are welcome. We hope you have a good day." They got back in the car and put on their buckles. Mom and dad were very proud of them. They said, "You have behaved very well. You have shown compassion and kindness. You have made a difference. We love you." Lily and Max smiled and said, "We love you too." They drove to the zoo and had a wonderful time. +Tom is a strong boy. He likes to play with his ball and his bike. He has a red wallet with his name on it. He keeps his money and his picture in his wallet. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big slide and a swing. He wants to play on them. He tells his mom, "Mom, can I play on the slide and the swing?" + +Mom says, "Yes, Tom, you can play on the slide and the swing. But be careful and don't lose your wallet. Put it in your pocket and zip it up." + +Tom says, "OK, Mom, I will be careful and not lose my wallet." He puts his wallet in his pocket and zips it up. He runs to the slide and the swing. He has fun. + +But then, he sees a mean boy. The mean boy has a big dog. The mean boy says, "Hey, you, give me your wallet. I want your money and your picture." + +Tom says, "No, you can't have my wallet. It is mine. Go away." + +The mean boy says, "No, I won't go away. I will take your wallet. My dog will bite you if you don't give it to me." + +Tom is scared. He doesn't want to give his wallet to the mean boy. He doesn't want the dog to bite him. He looks for his mom. He sees her on a bench. He calls her, "Mom, Mom, help me. The mean boy wants my wallet. His dog is big and scary." + +Mom hears Tom. She sees the mean boy and the dog. She runs to Tom. She says, "Leave my son alone. He won't give you his wallet. It is his. Go away or I will call the police." + +The mean boy sees Mom. He is afraid. He says, "OK, OK, I will go away. Don't call the police. Come on, dog, let's go." + +The mean boy and the dog run away. Tom is happy. He hugs his mom. He says, "Thank you, Mom, for saving me. You are strong and brave. I love you." + +Mom hugs Tom. She says, "You're welcome, Tom, I love you too. You are strong and brave too. You didn't give your wallet to the mean boy. You called me for help. I'm proud of you." + +Tom and Mom smile. They go back to the slide and the swing. They have fun. Tom keeps his wallet in his pocket. He zips it up. He doesn't lose it. He is happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside, but one day it was very cold and snowy. They had to stay inside and wear warm clothes. + +"Mom, can we make a fire in the chimney?" Lily asked. "It is so cold and I want to see the flames." + +"Sorry, honey, we don't have any wood to supply the fire. We used it all last week when the storm came. We have to wait until dad comes back from the store with more wood." Mom said. + +"But mom, I'm bored. There is nothing to do inside." Ben said. + +"Why don't you read a book, or draw a picture, or play a game?" Mom suggested. + +Lily and Ben sighed. They didn't want to do any of those things. They wanted to make a fire and roast marshmallows. They looked around the house and saw some old newspapers, magazines, and cardboard boxes. They had an idea. + +"Mom, can we use these things to make a fire?" Lily asked, holding up a newspaper. + +"No, sweetie, you can't. Those things are not good for the chimney. They will make a lot of smoke and ash, and they might start a fire in the house. That is very dangerous." Mom said. + +"But mom, they are dry and they will burn. Please, can we try?" Ben begged. + +Mom shook her head. "No, you can't. You have to listen to me and be patient. Dad will be back soon with the wood. Now, please put those things away and find something else to do." + +Lily and Ben were not happy. They thought mom was being mean and unfair. They decided to disobey her and make a fire anyway. They waited until mom went to the kitchen, and then they sneaked to the chimney. They stuffed the newspapers, magazines, and cardboard boxes inside, and lit a match. They watched as the fire started to grow and crackle. + +"Wow, look at that! We did it!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, we did! It's so warm and cozy!" Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They didn't notice the smoke and ash that filled the room. They didn't hear the fire alarm that beeped. They didn't see the flames that spread to the curtains and the carpet. They didn't smell the burning smell that reached mom's nose. + +Mom ran to the living room and saw the fire. She screamed and grabbed Lily and Ben. She dragged them outside and called the fire department. She was very scared and angry. + +"Lily and Ben, what have you done? You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves and me! Why didn't you listen to me? Why did you do such a foolish thing?" Mom yelled. + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They realized they had made a big mistake. They were sorry and ashamed. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We wanted to make a fire and we didn't think it was bad. We didn't mean to cause a fire. We're sorry, mom." Lily said. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't listen to you and we disobeyed you. We didn't know it was dangerous. We're sorry, mom." Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and tried to calm them down. She was glad they were safe, but she was also very disappointed. + +"I'm glad you're sorry, but sorry is not enough. You have to learn from your mistake. You have to respect me and follow my rules. You have to be careful and responsible. You have to understand that some things are not good for the chimney, and some things are not good for you. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They said they would never do it again. They said they would listen to mom and be good. They said they loved mom. + +Mom said she loved them too, but she also said they would be punished. They had to help clean the mess, and they had to stay in their room for the rest of the day. They had to think about what they had done, and how they could do better. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They were sad, but they knew they deserved it. They hoped mom would forgive them, and they hoped dad would come back soon with the wood. They hoped they could make a fire in the chimney the right way, and roast marshmallows with mom and dad. They hoped they could be happy and warm again. +Tim was a boy who did not like to sleep in his bed. He liked to sleep on the sofa, or on the floor, or in his tent. He said his bed was too big and too boring. His mom and dad tried to make him sleep in his bed, but he always managed to sneak out when they were not looking. + +One night, Tim decided to sleep in his tent in the backyard. He took his flashlight, his teddy bear, and his blanket. He said goodbye to his mom and dad and went outside. He felt very brave and happy. He set up his tent and crawled inside. He turned on his flashlight and played with his teddy bear. He did not feel sleepy at all. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. It sounded like a growl. He looked out of his tent and saw a big, black dog. The dog had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was not a regular dog. It was a mean dog. It wanted to bite Tim. Tim was very scared. He screamed for his mom and dad, but they did not hear him. They were asleep in their bed. The dog came closer and closer to Tim's tent. Tim tried to hide, but it was too late. The dog ripped the tent and grabbed Tim. Tim felt a lot of pain. He wished he had slept in his bed. The end. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to peek at Mom and Dad's things. + +One day, they see a big radio on the shelf. It has many buttons and lights. They want to touch it and hear the sounds. They think Mom and Dad are not home. They climb on the chair and reach for the radio. + +But they are wrong. Mom and Dad are in the kitchen. They hear a loud noise from the radio. They run to the room and see Tom and Sue with the radio. They are angry and scared. + +"Tom! Sue! What are you doing?" Mom shouts. "That is our radio. It is not a toy. You could break it or hurt yourself. That is very stupid and naughty." + +Tom and Sue feel bad. They drop the radio and say sorry. They hug Mom and Dad and promise not to peek at their things again. Mom and Dad forgive them and tell them to be careful and listen. They put the radio back on the shelf and take Tom and Sue to the living room. They play with their toys and books and have fun. They do not peek at the radio anymore. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside at night. They looked at the stars and the moon and asked many questions. "Why is the moon so big and bright?" Anna asked. "How far is it from us?" Ben wondered. + +Their dad heard them and came to join them. He smiled and said, "The moon is a big ball of rock that goes around the earth. It is very far from us, but we can see it because it reflects the light of the sun. Sometimes it is full and round, and sometimes it is only a slice or a curve." + +Anna and Ben nodded and asked more questions. "Can we go to the moon?" Anna asked. "What is on the moon?" Ben asked. + +Their dad said, "Some people have gone to the moon, but it is very hard and dangerous. They need a special rocket and a suit to protect them from the cold and the air. There is not much on the moon, only dust and rocks and craters. But it is very beautiful and quiet." + +Anna and Ben thought about it and said, "We want to go to the moon someday. We want to see it for ourselves. We are brave and curious." + +Their dad hugged them and said, "I am proud of you, my little explorers. You are brave and curious, and that is good. But you also need to be careful and smart, and listen to your parents and teachers. They can help you learn more about the moon and the world. And remember, the moon is always there, even when you can't see it. It is like a friend who watches over you at night." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. We love you and the moon. Good night, moon. Good night, dad." They went to bed and dreamed of the moon. +Lily and Sam were going to visit their grandma. They packed their bags and waited for the taxi. They were very excited to see grandma and her big garden. + +"Taxi is here!" Sam shouted. He ran to the door and opened it. Lily followed him with her bag. The taxi driver helped them put their bags in the trunk. + +"Hello, kids. Where are you going?" the taxi driver asked. + +"We are going to grandma's house. She lives far away, in the country. She has a lot of flowers and animals. We love grandma!" Lily said. + +"That sounds nice. I hope you have a good time. Do you want to listen to some music?" the taxi driver offered. + +"Yes, please!" Sam said. He liked music. He hoped the taxi driver had some songs he knew. + +The taxi driver turned on the radio. He found a station that played children's songs. Lily and Sam sang along. They had fun in the taxi. + +The taxi driver smiled. He liked children. They were happy and loud. He was used to driving in the city, where it was noisy and busy. He enjoyed the quiet of the country. He saw green fields and blue sky. + +"Look, there is grandma's house!" Lily pointed. She saw a red roof and a white fence. She saw grandma waving at them. + +"Hello, grandma!" Lily and Sam shouted. They jumped out of the taxi and ran to hug her. + +"Hello, my darlings. I'm so glad you're here. Come in, I have a surprise for you." Grandma said. + +"What is it, grandma?" Lily and Sam asked. + +"You'll see. It's something that includes all your favorite things." Grandma said. She winked at the taxi driver. + +The taxi driver took out their bags and gave them to grandma. He thanked her for the tip and waved goodbye. + +"Have a wonderful time, kids. And thank you for the music." He said. + +He drove away, feeling happy. He liked his job. He met different people and saw different places. He wondered what surprise grandma had for Lily and Sam. He hoped it was something fun. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and make things. One day, they decided to make a rocket out of cardboard and tape. They worked hard and cut and glued and painted. They wanted to fly their rocket to the moon. + +"Look, our rocket is almost done!" Ben said. "We just need to finish the nose and the wings." + +"OK, let's do it!" Sam said. They took more cardboard and tape and added the nose and the wings to their rocket. They were very proud of their work. + +"Wow, our rocket is so big and shiny!" Ben said. "Let's go outside and launch it!" + +They carried their rocket outside and put it on the grass. They counted down from ten to one and pretended to push a button. They waited for their rocket to fly. + +But nothing happened. Their rocket just sat on the grass. It did not move or make any sound. Ben and Sam felt sad and helpless. They did not know what was wrong with their rocket. + +"Maybe our rocket is broken," Ben said. "Maybe we did something wrong." + +"Maybe our rocket is too heavy," Sam said. "Maybe we need more power." + +They looked at their rocket and tried to think of a way to fix it. They did not want to give up on their dream. + +Then they saw a girl walking by with her dog. She had long hair and a big smile. She saw their rocket and stopped to look at it. + +"Hi, I'm Mia," she said. "What are you doing?" + +"We made a rocket," Ben said. "But it won't fly." + +"We want to go to the moon," Sam said. "But we don't know how." + +Mia looked at their rocket and nodded. She had an idea. + +"Maybe you need some help," she said. "Maybe I can help you." + +She took out a string and a balloon from her backpack. She tied the string to the balloon and the other end to the rocket. She blew up the balloon and let it go. + +The balloon flew up in the air and pulled the rocket with it. The rocket soared in the sky and made a whooshing sound. Ben and Sam watched in awe and cheered. They felt happy and hopeful. They thanked Mia for her help. + +"Wow, you are so smart and kind!" Ben said. + +"Yeah, you are awesome!" Sam said. + +Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome. I like to help. And I like rockets too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Ben and Sam nodded and agreed. They invited Mia to play with them and their rocket. They had fun and learned a lot. They realized that sometimes, they need help from others to achieve their dreams. And sometimes, they can help others too. That is what friends are for. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a penny. + +"Look, a penny!" Ben said. "I want it!" + +"No, I saw it first!" Mia said. "It's mine!" + +They both reached for the penny. They pulled and tugged. The penny flew out of their hands. It rolled away. + +"Hey, come back!" Ben shouted. He ran after the penny. Mia ran after him. + +They did not see the big rock. Ben stumbled on the rock. He fell down. He scraped his knee. It hurt. It was rough and red. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He held his knee. + +Mia stopped. She saw Ben crying. She felt sorry for him. She forgot about the penny. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mia asked. She went to him. She gave him a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben said. "I was mean. You can have the penny." + +Mia smiled. She saw the penny near a flower. She picked it up. She gave it to Ben. + +"No, you can have it," Mia said. "You are my friend." + +Ben smiled. He took the penny. He gave it back to Mia. + +"Let's share it," Ben said. "We can buy a candy together." + +Mia nodded. She held Ben's hand. They walked to the candy store. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big hill near a pond. They decided to roll down the hill and see who was faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they both started to roll. They felt the wind in their hair and the grass on their skin. They laughed and screamed as they rolled faster and faster. + +But Tom did not see a big rock on the way. He hit the rock and stopped rolling. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and started to cry. + +Lily heard Tom's cry and stopped rolling too. She ran to him and saw his arm was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" she asked. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot," Tom said. + +"Let's go to the pond and wash your arm. Maybe it will feel better," Lily said. + +They walked to the pond and saw some ducks swimming in the water. The ducks were lively and quacked at them. Lily and Tom smiled and forgot their pain for a moment. + +They dipped Tom's arm in the pond and gently washed it. The water was cool and soothing. Tom felt his arm hurt less and thanked Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," he said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you feel better," she said. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful when they play and to help each other when they are hurt. They also learned to enjoy the beauty of nature and the company of animals. They were happy and grateful for their friendship. +Anna and Ben like to play with water. They have a big tub in the garden. They fill it with water from the hose. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +But one day, they play too rough. Anna pushes Ben into the tub. Ben gets very wet. He is angry. He grabs the hose and sprays Anna. Anna gets very wet too. She is angry. They both yell and cry. + +Their parent hears the noise. They come to the garden. They see Anna and Ben soaking wet and upset. They are not happy. They say, "What are you doing? You are making a mess. You are wasting water. You are being mean to each other. You need to say sorry and stop this." + +Anna and Ben look at their parent. They feel bad. They know they did wrong. They say sorry to their parent. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to play nice. + +Their parent smiles. They say, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry and you are friends again. But you still need to clean up the mess. And you need to change your clothes. You are soaking wet." + +Anna and Ben nod. They help their parent to empty the tub and put away the hose. They go inside and change their clothes. They are dry and warm. They are sorry and happy. They love their parent. They love each other. They learned a lesson. +Ben and Mia went to the big water place with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and animals in the water. They liked the dolphins the most. The dolphins were gray and smooth and had a big smile. They jumped and played in the water. + +"Look, Mom, the dolphins are happy!" Mia said. + +"Yes, they are, sweetie. They are very healthy and smart animals. They can do tricks and talk to each other," Mom said. + +"Can I talk to them, too?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe you can try. But you have to be gentle and respectful. They are not toys, they are living beings," Dad said. + +Ben and Mia went closer to the glass where the dolphins were. They waved and said hello. One of the dolphins came near them and made a funny sound. Ben and Mia laughed. They felt like the dolphin was their friend. + +The dolphin moved its head up and down, as if it wanted them to do something. Ben and Mia copied the dolphin. The dolphin seemed happy. It splashed some water with its tail. Ben and Mia got wet and giggled. + +Then, the dolphin did something else. It slapped its fin on the water, making a loud noise. Ben and Mia were surprised. They looked at the dolphin. The dolphin looked at them and slapped its fin again. + +"What does it want?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it wants us to slap, too," Ben said. + +Ben and Mia raised their hands and slapped them together. The dolphin saw them and made another funny sound. It slapped its fin again. Ben and Mia slapped their hands again. They started a game of slap with the dolphin. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. They were happy to see their children have a good time with the dolphin. They thought the dolphin was very friendly and playful. They took a picture of Ben and Mia and the dolphin. They wanted to remember this special day. +Tom is a shy boy. He does not like to talk to new people. He likes to play with his toys and read his books. He has a big teddy bear that he hugs every night. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a lot of kids playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. He wants to join them, but he is afraid. He hopes they will be nice to him. + +He sees a girl with long hair and a pink dress. She is playing with a doll. Tom thinks she looks friendly. He walks over to her and says, "Hi, I'm Tom. Can I play with you?" + +The girl smiles and says, "Sure, I'm Lily. This is my doll, Anna. Do you have a toy?" + +Tom nods and shows her his teddy bear. He says, "This is my teddy bear, Bob. He is very soft and cuddly." + +Lily says, "He is cute. Can I hold him?" + +Tom says, "Okay, but be careful. He is my best friend." + +Lily takes Bob and hugs him. She says, "He is very nice. Can we share him?" + +Tom says, "Yes, we can share him. Do you want to play in the sandbox?" + +Lily says, "Yes, that sounds fun. Come on, let's go." + +They run to the sandbox and start to make a castle. They are having a good time. Tom is happy. He has made a new friend. + +But then, a big boy comes over. He has a mean face and a loud voice. He says, "Hey, what are you doing? This is my sandbox. Give me that teddy bear. Now!" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They do not know what to do. The big boy is a threat. He grabs Bob and pulls him away from Lily. He says, "This is mine now. Go away, or I'll hit you." + +Tom feels angry and sad. He wants his teddy bear back. He says, "No, that's not yours. That's mine. Give it back. Please." + +The big boy laughs and says, "No way. This is a baby toy. You are a baby. You don't deserve it." + +He throws Bob on the ground and kicks him. Tom and Lily gasp. They see Bob's eye fall off and his fur get dirty. They feel sorry for him. + +Tom gathers his courage. He runs to the big boy and pushes him. He says, "Stop it. You are mean. You are a bully. Leave us alone." + +The big boy is surprised. He did not expect Tom to fight back. He says, "Hey, what's your problem? You want some more?" + +He raises his fist and tries to hit Tom. But then, Tom's mom comes over. She sees what is happening. She says, "Hey, stop that. What are you doing? How dare you hurt my son and his toy?" + +She grabs the big boy by the arm and drags him away. She says, "You should be ashamed of yourself. You are a bad boy. I'm going to tell your parents." + +She takes him to the bench where his parents are sitting. She tells them what he did. They are shocked and angry. They scold him and apologize to Tom's mom. They say, "We are so sorry. He is in big trouble. We will make him say sorry and fix the teddy bear." + +They take him away. He looks scared and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." + +Tom's mom goes back to Tom and Lily. She hugs them and says, "Are you okay? I'm so proud of you, Tom. You stood up for yourself and your friend. You are very brave." + +Tom says, "Thank you, mom. I'm okay. But Bob is not. Look, he is broken." + +He picks up Bob and shows her his eye and his fur. He says, "Can you fix him, mom? Please?" + +His mom says, "Of course, I can. Don't worry. We'll go home and sew him up. He'll be good as new." + +She takes out a needle and a thread from her purse. She starts to sew Bob's eye back on. She says, "There, that's better. Now, let's clean his fur." + +She wipes Bob's fur with a wet napkin. She says, "There, that's better. Now, he is clean and soft again." + +She gives Bob back to Tom. He hugs him and says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +His mom says, "I love you too, Tom. And I love Bob too. He is a very special teddy bear." + +Tom +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they had a plan to make a big cake for their mom. They took some flour, eggs, sugar, and butter from the kitchen and put them in a big bowl. They mixed them with a spoon and poured them into a pan. + +"Let's put the cake in the oven," Tom said. "Mom will be so happy when she sees it." + +"Wait," Lily said. "We need to add some chocolate chips. They are mom's favorite." + +Lily ran to the cupboard and grabbed a bag of chocolate chips. She opened it and poured some into the bowl. But she poured too much and the bowl overflowed. The batter spilled on the floor and the table. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily cried. "What a mess!" + +They heard their mom coming home. They quickly grabbed some paper towels and tried to wipe the batter. But it was sticky and hard to clean. They also forgot to turn off the oven. + +Mom opened the door and smelled something burning. She ran to the kitchen and saw the smoke and the mess. She turned off the oven and took out the pan. The cake was black and hard. + +"Tom, Lily, what happened here?" Mom asked. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They told Mom their plan and how they wanted to make her a cake. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I appreciate your plan, but you should have asked me first. Baking a cake is not easy and you need to follow a recipe. You also need to be careful with the oven and the sink. They can be dangerous. Next time, please ask me before you use the kitchen. It is important to be safe and responsible." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you and we wanted to make you happy." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, and I am happy that you are my children. But you need to help me clean this mess. And maybe we can make a cake together another day." + +Tom and Lily agreed and helped Mom clean the kitchen. They learned their lesson and never tried to bake a cake without Mom again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the sun was warm, and why the stars twinkled at night. She asked her mom and dad many questions, and they tried to answer her as best as they could. + +One day, Lily saw a big bowl on the kitchen table. It was filled with colorful fruits and smelled very good. She wondered what they tasted like, and if they were as amazing as they looked. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl, but she was too small and the bowl was too heavy. The bowl tipped over and fell on the floor, making a loud noise and a big mess. + +Lily was scared and sad. She knew she had done something bad, and she started to cry. Her mom and dad came running to see what had happened. They saw Lily and the bowl and the fruits on the floor. They were not happy, but they were not angry either. They hugged Lily and told her that they loved her, but that she should not touch things without asking first. They explained that the fruits were for a special occasion, and that they had worked hard to get them. They said that Lily could have some fruits later, if she helped them clean up the mess. + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said she was sorry and that she wanted to help. She helped her mom and dad pick up the fruits and the pieces of the bowl. She learned that some things are not for playing, and that she should respect other people's things. She also learned that her mom and dad were kind and forgiving, and that they always wanted the best for her. She thanked them for the fruits and for their love. She still wondered about many things, but she also learned to be careful and grateful. +Jen and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But they did not like to go to the mall with Mom. The mall was big and loud and boring. Mom said they had to go to buy new clothes and shoes. + +"Can we stay home, Mom?" Jen asked. + +"No, you can't. You need new clothes and shoes. You have grown so much," Mom said. + +"Can we play at the mall, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe later, if you are good. But first we have to shop," Mom said. + +Jen and Ben were not happy. They followed Mom to the mall. They walked and walked and walked. They saw many stores and people and things. But they did not see anything fun. They only saw clothes and shoes and more clothes and shoes. + +"Mom, this is terrible," Jen said. + +"Mom, can we stop?" Ben said. + +"No, we can't. We have to find your sizes and colors and styles. Then we have to pay and go home," Mom said. + +Jen and Ben were very tired and bored. They wanted to go home and play. They did not want to try on clothes and shoes. They did not want to stand in line and wait. They did not want to be at the mall. + +They saw a big sign that said "Play Area". It had a picture of a slide and a ball pit and a tunnel. It looked like fun. + +"Mom, look! Can we go there, Mom?" Jen said. + +"Mom, please! Can we go there, Mom?" Ben said. + +Mom looked at the sign. She looked at Jen and Ben. She looked at her watch. She sighed. + +"Okay, fine. You can go there for a little while. But only for a little while. Then we have to finish shopping and go home," Mom said. + +Jen and Ben were very happy. They ran to the play area. They took off their shoes and put them in a cubby. They climbed and slid and jumped and crawled. They had fun. + +Mom sat on a bench and watched them. She smiled. She was glad they were happy. She was also glad she had a secret. She had already bought their clothes and shoes online. She had them in her car. She did not tell Jen and Ben. She wanted to surprise them. She wanted to make them happy. She wanted to go home and play with them. She did not want to be at the mall either. +Mia and Leo like to pretend. They have a big box of old clothes and toys. They can be anything they want. Today, they pretend to be pirates. They wear hats and scarves and belts. They have swords and hooks and eye patches. They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" + +They find a photo in the box. It is a photo of a ship. It has sails and cannons and flags. Mia and Leo think it is a pirate ship.

They sing pirate songs and look for islands and enemies. + +But then, something terrible happens. The photo rips. Mia and Leo hear a loud sound. They look at the photo and see a big tear. They are sad and scared. They think they broke the ship. They think they can't pretend anymore. They say "Oh no!" and "Sorry!" and "What do we do?" + +Mia and Leo's mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the photo and the tear. She sees Mia and Leo's faces. She knows they are upset. She hugs them and says "It's okay. It's just a photo. It's not a real ship. You can still pretend. You can use your imagination. You can fix the photo with tape. Or you can find another photo. Or you can draw your own ship. There are many ways to pretend. Pretending is fun and creative. Don't be sad. Be happy." + +Mia and Leo listen to their mom. They feel better. They smile and say "Thank you!" and "You're right!" and "We love you!" They hug their mom and say "We love pretending!" They find some tape and fix the photo. They put it back on the floor and pretend it is the sea. They use the pillow and the broom and pretend they are pirates. They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" They have fun and forget about the terrible thing.

They dropped the ball and ran to find shelter. But they could not find any. They were alone and cold. They wished they had not quarreled. + +The cloud saw them and felt sorry. It stopped the rain and lightning. It moved away and let the sun shine. It hoped Lily and Ben would learn to be friends again. But it was too late. The ball was gone. A big dog had found it and ran away with it. Lily and Ben had lost their ball and their fun. They had nothing to play with.

He did not want to make Lily cry. He wanted to make her smile. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, mom. I was mean. I did not like your zebra, but I should not have torn it. It was your picture. You can draw it however you want. You are creative and smart. Can you forgive me?" Tom said, apologizing to Lily and mom. + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw he was sincere. She wiped her tears. She smiled. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you. Can we draw another zebra together?" Lily said, forgiving Tom and mom. + +Tom smiled back. He hugged Lily. He loved her too. He nodded. + +"Yes, Lily. We can draw another zebra together. We can use any colors we want. We can be creative and happy," Tom said, agreeing with Lily and mom. + +Mom smiled too. She was proud of Tom and Lily. She gave them new papers and crayons. They sat on the bench and drew another zebra together. They admired their zebra and each other. They had fun at the zoo. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some things from the fridge. + +"Let's make soup!" said Ben. He put some water in the pot and turned on the stove. "We need some pepper to make it spicy." + +"Okay!" said Lily. She opened the cupboard and found a big jar of pepper. She tried to open it, but it was too hard. She asked Ben for help. + +Ben took the jar and twisted the lid. It was very tight. He used all his strength and finally opened it. But he was not careful. He spilled the pepper all over the floor. + +"Uh-oh!" said Ben. He saw the pepper everywhere. It made him sneeze. "Achoo!" + +Lily saw the mess and laughed. She thought it was funny. She picked up some pepper and threw it at Ben. "Pepper fight!" she shouted. + +Ben laughed too. He threw some pepper back at Lily. They had a silly pepper fight in the kitchen. They did not see their mom coming in. + +Mom saw the pepper fight and was not happy. She saw the pot on the stove and the water boiling. She turned off the stove and took the pot away. She saw the jar of pepper and the lid on the counter. She saw the pepper on the floor and on the kids. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. She was angry. "You made a big mess. You could have burned yourself. You wasted the pepper. You are in big trouble." + +Ben and Lily stopped throwing pepper. They looked at their mom and felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. They said sorry to their mom. + +Mom made them clean up the pepper. She made them tie their hair back so they would not get pepper in their eyes. She made them wash their hands and faces. She made them sit in the corner and think about what they did. + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They did not play with pepper again. They decided to play with something else. Something less spicy. +Tom and Lily were at the post office with their mom. They had to wait in a long line to buy some stamps. Tom and Lily were very bored. They did not like to wait and they did not care about stamps. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, honey. We need these stamps to send some letters to grandma and grandpa. They will be happy to hear from us," mom said. + +Tom and Lily sighed. They looked around the post office. They saw some pictures on the wall. They saw some boxes and envelopes. They saw some people working and some people waiting. + +Lily saw something that caught her eye. She saw a big book on a table. The book had many colorful pages. The pages had many different stamps on them. Lily liked the stamps. They had animals and flowers and flags and cars and more. + +"Look, Tom!" Lily said. She pointed to the book. "Look at the stamps! They are so pretty!" + +Tom looked at the book. He did not think the stamps were pretty. He thought they were boring. He did not like stamps. He liked trucks and trains and planes. + +"Those are not stamps, Lily. Those are stickers. Stamps are small and white and have numbers on them. Stickers are big and bright and have pictures on them. Stickers are for kids. Stamps are for grown-ups," Tom said. + +Lily did not agree with Tom. She thought the stamps were stamps. She thought they were for everyone. She wanted to see more of them. + +"Can we look at the book, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled. She saw that Lily was interested in the stamps. She thought it was good for Lily to learn about different things. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can look at the book. But be careful. Don't touch the stamps. They are very old and rare. They belong to the post office. They are not for sale," mom said. + +Lily nodded. She was careful. She did not touch the stamps. She only looked at them. She turned the pages slowly. She saw stamps from many countries and many times. She saw stamps with birds and fish and stars and moons. She saw stamps with kings and queens and heroes and villains. She saw stamps with letters and words and shapes and colors. She was amazed. + +Tom was not amazed. He was still bored. He did not look at the stamps. He looked at his watch. He wondered how long they had to wait. He wished they could go home and play with his toys. He thought stamps were boring. He did not understand why Lily liked them. He shrugged. He guessed everyone liked different things. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. They saw some big trees with many leaves. They wanted to make a shelter with the leaves. + +They asked their mom for scissors. She gave them one pair and told them to be careful. They cut some leaves from the trees and put them on the ground. They tried to make a roof with the leaves, but the wind blew them away. + +"Oh no, our shelter is gone!" Lila said. + +"Don't worry, we can try again," Ben said. + +They cut more leaves and used some sticks to hold them together. They made a small shelter that looked like a tent. They crawled inside and pretended they were camping. + +"Look, we made a shelter!" Ben said. + +"It's cozy and warm," Lila said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. Their mom came to see their shelter. She was proud of them. + +"That's a very nice shelter, Lila and Ben," she said. "But it's time to go home now. We can come back another day and play some more." + +They nodded and said goodbye to their shelter. They packed their scissors and leaves and followed their mom. They were happy and tired. They had fun making a shelter. +Tom is a little boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a big teddy bear, a red car, and a blue ball. He likes to make noises and stories with them. But today, he cannot play with his toys. He has to lie in his bed and rest. He is sick and has a fever. + +He feels hot and tired and bored. He wants to go outside and see his friends. He wants to run and jump and laugh. He is anxious and sad. He asks his mom, "When can I play, mom? When will I feel better?" + +His mom smiles and kisses his forehead. She says, "Soon, Tom, soon. You just need to lie here and drink some water and take your medicine. The doctor said you will be better in a few days. Then you can play with your toys and your friends again. I love you, Tom. You are a brave boy." + +Tom nods and hugs his teddy bear. He says, "I love you too, mom. I will try to be brave. But I miss playing. I miss having fun. I hope the days go fast." + +His mom says, "They will, Tom, they will. And I will be here with you. We can read some books and sing some songs and tell some jokes. We can have some fun too. And when you are better, we can have a big party with cake and balloons and presents. How does that sound?" + +Tom smiles and says, "That sounds great, mom. That sounds very great. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever." + +His mom hugs him and says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are the best son ever." +Lily loves to dance. She dances at home, at school, and at the park. She dances with her toys, her friends, and her family. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Lily's mom tells her that they are going to a special place. A place where many people dance together. A place with music, lights, and costumes. Lily is eager to go. She asks her mom, "What is the place called, mom?" + +"It's called a dance show, Lily. We are going to watch a dance show. Do you want to see it?" her mom asks. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily says. She jumps up and down. She claps her hands. She spins around. She can't wait to see the dance show. + +They get in the car and drive to the place. Lily sees a big sign that says "Dance Show". She sees many people going inside. She sees some people wearing colorful clothes and shiny shoes. She thinks they are the dancers. + +Lily and her mom find their seats. They sit down and wait. Lily looks around. She sees a big stage. She sees curtains, lights, and speakers. She hears music playing. She feels excited. + +The lights go dim. The curtains open. The music gets louder. The dancers come out. They dance on the stage. They dance fast and slow. They dance high and low. They dance alone and together. They dance with smiles and grace. + +Lily watches them. She likes their moves. She likes their clothes. She likes their music. She wants to dance with them. She taps her feet. She sways her hips. She waves her arms. She dances in her seat. + +Her mom sees her. She smiles. She says, "You are a good dancer, Lily. Do you like the dance show?" + +Lily nods. She says, "I love it, mom. I love to dance. Can we dance more, mom?" + +Her mom hugs her. She says, "Of course, Lily. We can dance more. We can dance anytime, anywhere. We can dance at home, at school, and at the park. We can dance with our toys, our friends, and our family. We can dance when we are happy, when we are sad, and when we are bored. We can dance because we love to dance." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, mom. We love to dance. Dance, dance, dance!" +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Their mom had a big patch of radishes that she grew for salads. Ben and Lily wanted to try them. + +"Can we pick a radish, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. They are very strong and spicy. You might not like them," mom said. + +Ben and Lily each pulled a radish from the ground. They were red and white and had green leaves. They looked like little balls with tails. + +"Let's taste them," Lily said. + +They bit into the radishes. They were crunchy and juicy. But they were also very strong and spicy. Ben and Lily made funny faces and spit them out. + +"Yuck! They are too strong!" Ben said. + +"They make my mouth burn!" Lily said. + +They ran to the hose and drank some water. They felt better. + +"Sorry, mom. We don't like radishes," Ben said. + +"That's okay. Radishes are not for everyone. Maybe you will like them when you are older. Do you want some carrots instead?" mom said. + +"Yes, please. We like carrots. They are sweet and orange," Lily said. + +Mom gave them some carrots from the garden. They were crunchy and sweet. Ben and Lily smiled and ate them. + +"Carrots are much better than radishes," Ben said. + +"I agree. Carrots are our favorite," Lily said. + +They thanked mom and went back to playing in the garden. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. Sara has a lot of red blocks and Ben has a lot of blue blocks. They share some yellow and green blocks. + +"Look, Sara, I made a big bridge!" Ben says, showing his blocks to Sara. "Can you make a bridge too?" + +"Yes, I can!" Sara says, and starts to stack her red blocks. She makes a long and high bridge. She is very proud of her bridge. + +"Wow, Sara, your bridge is very nice!" Ben says. "Can I sit on your bridge?" + +"No, Ben, you can't!" Sara says. "You are too big and heavy. You will break my bridge!" + +"But I want to sit on your bridge!" Ben says. "It looks fun!" + +He tries to sit on Sara's bridge, but Sara pushes him away. Ben falls on the floor and cries. Sara's bridge falls down and the blocks scatter everywhere. + +"Ben, you are bad!" Sara says. "You ruined my bridge!" + +"Sara, you are mean!" Ben says. "You hurt me!" + +They are both angry and sad. They don't want to play with each other anymore. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the mess and the tears. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Sara and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom listens and hugs them. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, I didn't mean to break your bridge," Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to push you," Sara says. + +They say sorry to each other and hug. Mom helps them pick up the blocks. + +"Next time, why don't you try to play together?" Mom says. "You can make a bigger and better bridge with both of your blocks. And you can take turns to sit on it, gently and carefully." + +"OK, Mom, we will try," Sara and Ben say. + +They smile and start to play again. They make a new bridge with red and blue and yellow and green blocks. They sit on it and have fun. They are happy and friends again. +Lily liked to perform for her family. She would sing and dance and make funny faces. She had a big show planned for tonight. She wanted to surprise everyone with her new costume and her new friend. + +She went to her room and put on her costume. It was a thick, furry suit with a long tail and ears. She looked like a cat. She smiled and meowed. She was ready to perform. But where was her new friend? + +She heard a noise under her bed. She bent down and saw a pair of yellow eyes. It was her new friend. A real cat. She had found him in the park and brought him home. She named him Fluffy. She loved him very much. + +"Come on, Fluffy," she said. "It's time to perform. Don't be shy. You can do it." + +She reached under the bed and pulled out Fluffy. He was not happy. He hissed and scratched and bit. He did not want to perform. He wanted to hide. + +Lily cried out and let go of Fluffy. He ran out of the room and down the stairs. Lily followed him, still crying. She wanted to perform with Fluffy. She wanted to make everyone happy. + +She reached the living room and saw her family. They were sitting on the couch, waiting for her show. They saw her costume and her tears. They also saw Fluffy. He was sitting on the coffee table, licking his paw. He looked very smug. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked. "What happened?" + +Lily sobbed and pointed at Fluffy. "He's my new friend. I wanted to perform with him. But he's mean. He doesn't like me. He doesn't like to perform." + +Her family looked at Fluffy and then at each other. They tried not to laugh. They knew that Fluffy was not a good friend for Lily. He was not a good performer either. He was just a cat. + +They hugged Lily and comforted her. They told her that they loved her and her costume. They told her that she could perform without Fluffy. They told her that they would help her find a better friend. A friend who liked to perform. A friend who liked her. + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She nodded and wiped her eyes. She was ready to perform. She sang and danced and made funny faces. She made everyone happy. She was happy too. She forgot about Fluffy. He was just a cat. +Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a doll named Anna. Lily liked to lead Anna around the house and pretend they were going on adventures. Lily was very organized. She always put her toys back in their boxes when she was done playing. + +One day, Lily's mom said it was time for lunch. She made pasta for Lily and Anna. Lily loved pasta. She put some on a plate for herself and some on a small dish for Anna. She took them to the table and sat down. + +"Anna, do you like pasta?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily," Anna said in a tiny voice. + +Lily smiled and started to eat. She was very hungry. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was her brother, Max. Max was older than Lily and he liked to tease her. He ran into the kitchen and saw Lily and Anna. + +"Ha ha, look at Lily and her silly doll. She thinks it can talk. How dumb!" Max said. + +He grabbed Anna from the dish and threw her on the floor. He laughed and ran away. + +Lily was very angry and sad. She cried and ran to pick up Anna. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"I'm okay, Lily. Don't worry," Anna said. + +Lily hugged Anna and looked at her pasta. It was cold and messy. She didn't want to eat it anymore. + +She went to her mom and told her what Max did. Her mom was very sorry and mad at Max. She told him to apologize to Lily and Anna and to share his pasta with them. She also gave Lily a hug and a kiss and told her she was very brave and kind. + +Lily felt better. She thanked her mom and went back to the table with Anna. She shared some of Max's pasta with her and they ate together. They were happy. + +The end. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play and draw with pens. They have many pens of different colors. They collect pens from their parents, teachers and shops. + +One day, they see a new pen in the park. It is shiny and has a funny shape. Tom and Sam want the new pen. They run to the pen and grab it at the same time. + +"Let go! It is my pen!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Sam says. + +They pull and tug the pen. They are angry and loud. They do not share the pen. + +A dog sees the pen. The dog thinks the pen is a toy. The dog runs to the pen and snatches it from Tom and Sam. The dog runs away with the pen. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They lose the new pen. They look at each other. They feel silly. + +"Sorry, Tom. I was greedy. I should have shared the pen with you." Sam says. + +"Sorry, Sam. I was rude. I should have asked you nicely." Tom says. + +They hug and make up. They learn to be kind and fair. They go back to their old pens. They are happy and draw together. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to help their dad in the kitchen. Dad is a cook. He makes yummy food for people. He works hard every day. + +One day, Tom and Sam want to work with dad. They ask him, "Dad, can we work with you? We want to learn how to cook." + +Dad smiles and says, "Sure, you can work with me. But you have to be careful. Cooking is fun, but it can also be dangerous. You have to follow my rules." + +Dad gives Tom and Sam aprons and hats. He shows them how to wash their hands and the vegetables. He tells them to cut the carrots with a knife. He says, "The knife is sharp. You have to hold it with two hands. And you have to cut slowly and gently. Don't cut your fingers. And don't touch the stove. It is hot." + +Tom and Sam nod and say, "OK, dad. We will be careful." They take the knife and the carrots. They try to cut them like dad. But it is hard. The carrots are tough. They have to use a lot of strength. They make funny faces and noises. They say, "This is hard work. But we can do it." + +Dad watches them and laughs. He says, "You are doing great, boys. You are good helpers. I am proud of you. Soon, you will be good cooks like me." He hugs them and kisses them. He says, "I love you, Tom and Sam. You make me happy." + +Tom and Sam hug him back and say, "We love you, dad. You make us happy. And you make the best food ever." They smile and keep working. They have fun in the kitchen. +Lily and Max were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They packed their hats, water, and snacks in a big bag. + +On the way to the safari park, Max was grumpy. He did not want to share his snacks with Lily. He said, "These are mine! Go away!" Lily was sad. She wanted to have some snacks too. She said, "That's not nice, Max. We are supposed to share." + +Mom and dad heard them fighting. They said, "Stop it, both of you. We are almost there. You can have your snacks later. Now, look out the window and see the animals." + +Lily and Max looked out the window. They saw zebras, giraffes, elephants, and lions. They forgot about their snacks. They said, "Wow! Look at them! They are so big and beautiful!" + +They got to the safari park. They got out of the car and followed a guide. The guide showed them more animals and told them stories. Lily and Max listened and asked questions. They learned a lot. + +At the end of the safari, they went back to the car. They were hungry and thirsty. They remembered their snacks. They looked at each other and smiled. They said, "Sorry, we were grumpy. Do you want to share?" They nodded and hugged. They opened their bag and shared their snacks. They were happy. They had a fun day. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They pretend that the doll is sick and the car is a doctor. + +"Doctor, doctor, please help my doll!" Anna says. "She has a pain in her leg and she can't walk." + +"Don't worry, I will save your doll," Ben says. "I have an x-ray machine that can see inside her leg. Let me take a look." + +Ben puts the car near the doll's leg and makes a beeping sound. He looks at the car and frowns. + +"Oh no, your doll has a broken bone in her leg. She needs a cast to make it better," he says. + +"A cast? What is that?" Anna asks. + +"A cast is a hard thing that wraps around your leg and keeps it still. It helps the bone heal," Ben explains. "I have some paper and tape that we can use to make a cast. But we have to be very careful not to hurt your doll more." + +Ben and Anna work together to cut some paper and tape it around the doll's leg. They make sure it is not too tight or too loose. + +"There, your doll has a cast now. She will feel better soon," Ben says. + +"Thank you, doctor, you are very smart and kind," Anna says. "My doll is lucky to have you as her friend." + +They hug each other and their toys. They are happy and proud of their game. +Anna was a curious girl who liked to examine everything. She often opened drawers and cupboards to see what was inside. One day, she saw a shiny key on the table. She wondered what it could open. She took the key and ran to her parents' bedroom. + +She tried the key on different drawers until she found one that matched. She turned the key and opened the drawer. She saw a lot of papers and a small box. She opened the box and found a shiny ring. She put the ring on her finger and felt very happy. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" she heard her mom's voice behind her. She turned around and saw her mom looking very angry. "That's my ring! How did you get it? Did you take the key from the table?" + +Anna felt scared and guilty. She tried to take the ring off her finger, but it was too tight. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. I wanted to see what was in the drawer." + +Her mom sighed and took her to the bathroom. She tried to use soap and water to remove the ring, but it didn't work. She said they had to go to the doctor to cut the ring off. Anna felt very sad and hurt. She wished she had never opened the drawer. + +The moral of the story is: Curiosity is good, but you should not take things that are not yours. You might get into trouble or hurt yourself. You should always ask for permission before you examine something that belongs to someone else. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Bake Sale". They ran to the table where there were many yummy things to eat. + +"Look, Sam, muffins!" Lily said. She loved muffins. They were soft and sweet and had little bits of fruit inside. + +"Can we have one, please?" Sam asked the lady who was selling them. He pointed to a blueberry muffin. + +"Of course, dear. That will be one dollar," the lady said. She smiled and gave them the muffin. + +Lily and Sam shared the muffin. They broke it in half and each took a bite. It was delicious. They thanked the lady and went to sit on a bench. + +As they ate, they saw a girl dancing on the grass. She was wearing a pink dress and a flower crown. She moved her arms and legs in a graceful way. She looked like a fairy. + +"Wow, she is so pretty," Lily said. "I wish I could dance like her." + +"Me too," Sam said. "Maybe we can ask her to teach us." + +They finished their muffin and ran to the girl. They said hello and told her their names. + +"Hi, I'm Mia," the girl said. "Do you like dancing?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily and Sam said. + +"Would you like to join me?" Mia asked. "I can show you some steps." + +"Yes, please," Lily and Sam said. + +Mia smiled and took their hands. She led them to the grass and taught them how to spin, hop, and twirl. They had a lot of fun. They felt like fairies too. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and roads with their blocks and cars. But they were getting bored of the same old games. They wanted something new and fun to excite them. + +"Look, Lily!" Tom said, pointing to the sky. "A big bird!" + +Lily looked up and saw a huge yellow crane. It was lifting a heavy box from a truck and putting it on a tall building. The crane made a loud noise and moved slowly. + +"Wow, Tom! That's not a bird, that's a crane!" Lily said. "It's so big and strong! Can we go and see it?" + +Tom nodded and they ran towards the crane. They wanted to get closer and watch it work. They thought it was amazing and cool. + +But when they got to the fence, they saw a sign that said "No children allowed". A man in a hard hat and a dull jacket was guarding the gate. He looked angry and stern. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from here!" he shouted. "This is a dangerous place! You can't come in!" + +Tom and Lily felt sad and scared. They didn't want to make the man mad. They just wanted to see the crane. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom said. "We just like the crane. It's so big and strong." + +The man softened a bit. He saw that they were just curious and harmless. He remembered when he was a kid and liked to watch cranes too. + +"Well, I guess you can stay for a little while," he said. "But only from here. Don't touch anything or go inside. And be quiet and careful." + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked the man. They stayed behind the fence and watched the crane. They saw it lift more boxes and beams and put them on the building. They imagined what it would be like to ride the crane and help build things. + +They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They forgot about their toys and their boredom. They found something new and fun to excite them. They liked the crane. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and make noise. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many things. There are pots and pans, spoons and forks, bells and whistles, and a trumpet. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily says. "Let's make music!" + +"OK, let's mix them up and see what happens!" Ben says. They take out the things and put them on the floor. They pick up some spoons and forks and bang them on the pots and pans. They shake the bells and whistles and blow the trumpet. + +"Bang, bang, clang, clang, ding, ding, toot, toot!" They make a lot of noise. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She comes into the garage and sees the mess. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" she asks. "You are making too much noise!" + +"Sorry, mom, we are making music!" Lily says. + +"Music? This is not music, this is noise!" mom says. "You need to learn how to play the trumpet properly. And you need to clean up this mess!" + +"OK, mom, we will clean up," Ben says. "But can we keep the trumpet? We like it!" + +"Only if you promise to practice and be quiet," mom says. + +"OK, we promise," Lily and Ben say. They put the things back in the box and take the trumpet. They go to Lily's room and close the door. They try to play the trumpet softly. They are still happy. +Lily liked to read stories. She had many books with pictures and words. She liked to look at the pictures and make up her own words. Sometimes, she asked her mom or dad to read to her. + +One day, she found a new book on the shelf. It was very thin and had no pictures. She wondered what it was. She opened it and saw many small words. She could not read them. She felt sad. + +She showed the book to her mom. Her mom smiled and said, "This is a special book, Lily. It is a book of poems. Poems are like stories, but they sound different. They have rhyme and rhythm. Do you want me to read you some poems?" + +Lily nodded. She liked rhyme and rhythm. She liked how they made her feel happy and curious. She sat on her mom's lap and listened to her mom's voice. Her mom read her poems about animals, stars, flowers, and rainbows. Lily liked the poems. She liked how they made pictures in her mind. + +She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. She said, "I like this book, mom. It is a thin book, but it has many stories. Can we read it again tomorrow?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. I'm glad you like it. You are welcome to read it anytime. Poems are for everyone who loves stories." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big maze in the park. The maze has high walls and many paths. + +"Let's go in the maze!" Lily says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to stay together. We don't want to get lost." + +They hold hands and walk into the maze. They turn left and right and left again. They see flowers and birds and bugs. They laugh and talk. + +But after a while, they don't know where they are. They can't see the exit. They can't see other people. They feel scared. + +"Lily, I don't like this maze," Ben says. "It's too big and too high. How can we get out?" + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily says. "Maybe we can ask for help. Let's shout." + +They shout as loud as they can. "Help! Help! We are in the maze! Can you hear us?" + +They wait and listen. They hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. + +"Lily! Ben! Where are you?" Lily's mom says. "I can hear you, but I can't see you. Come to the sound of my voice." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They follow Lily's mom's voice. They walk and walk until they see her. She is standing at the exit. She hugs them and smiles. + +"Mom, we are so glad to see you!" Lily says. "We were lost in the maze. It was scary." + +"I'm so glad you are safe!" Lily's mom says. "Next time, don't go into the maze without me. It's too high and too hard for you. Come, let's go home." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say goodbye to the maze. They hold Lily's mom's hand and walk home.

"Maybe there are more toys or candy or something fun." + +"No, we can't!" Ben said. "The sign says no. Maybe there is something bad or scary or dangerous in the box. We should leave it alone." + +Sam did not listen to Ben. He pulled the box and opened it. He saw a lot of wires and buttons and lights. He thought it looked like a cool machine. He wanted to touch it and see what it did. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "It's like a spaceship or a robot or something. I wonder what it does. Maybe it can fly or talk or make music." + +Ben was scared. He saw the wires and buttons and lights. He thought it looked like a bomb or a trap or something. He wanted to close it and run away. + +"Stop, Sam, stop!" Ben said. "It's not a toy or a machine. It's an event. It's something that happens when you push the buttons. Maybe it will make a loud noise or a big fire or a lot of smoke. We should not touch it." + +Sam did not listen to Ben. He pushed one of the buttons. He heard a beep and saw a red light.

Sam and Ben were safe, but they were very sorry. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to not open things that say "Do not open". They learned to listen to their friends. They learned to not play with events. They learned to solve their problems before they get worse. They learned to be careful and smart and good. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big black car parked near the swings. She thought maybe Ben was hiding behind the car. She ran towards the car and peeked behind it. + +"Boo!" Ben shouted as he jumped out from the other side of the car. He had run around the car while Lily was counting. He wanted to scare her and make her laugh. + +Lily was so shocked that she screamed and fell backwards.

She looked at Ben and saw that he had a black mark on his face. She wondered what it was. She reached out and touched it.

There was a black banana peel on his face. He had not noticed it before. + +He pulled the peel off his face and threw it away. He made a funny face and said, "It's a banana. Do you want some?" + +Lily laughed and shook her head. She said, "No, thank you. You can keep it." + +They both giggled and got up. They decided to play something else. They agreed that hide and seek was too scary and messy. They ran to the slide and had fun. They forgot about the black car and the black banana. They were happy and silly. They were friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it.

It looked like a big fire in the sky. + +"Look, Max, look!" Lily said, pointing to the sky. "What is that?" + +Max looked up and saw the thing too. He smiled and said, "That is a sunset, Lily. It is when the sun goes to sleep and says good night to us. It makes the sky look brilliant, like a painting." + +Lily nodded and said, "It is brilliant, Max. It is the most brilliant thing I ever saw. Can we watch it until it goes away?" + +Max nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, we can. But we have to stop playing with the ball first. We have to put it in our bag and sit on the bench. We don't want to lose the ball or miss the sunset." + +Lily and Max stopped playing with the ball and put it in their bag.

She took the piece from Tommy and moved it to another spot. + +Tommy felt sad and angry. He said, "Lily, that is not nice. You should not take my piece. I have an opinion too. I think it goes there." He took the piece back and put it where he wanted. + +Lily felt sad and angry too. She said, "Tommy, that is not fair. You should not move my piece. I have an opinion too. I think it goes here." She took the piece again and moved it where she wanted. + +They kept doing this until they had no more pieces left. But the puzzle was not done. It looked messy and wrong. Tommy and Lily looked at each other and realized they had made a mistake. They had not allowed each other to have an opinion. They had not worked together. They had not had fun. + +They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to try the puzzle again. This time, they allowed each other to have an opinion.

He crawled under the bush and waited for Mia to find him. + +Mia looked around the garden and tried to guess where Leo was. She saw the swing, the slide, the sandbox, but no Leo. She wondered if he was behind the tree or under the table. She decided to check the tree first. She walked slowly and quietly, hoping to scare Leo. + +But when she reached the tree, she saw something that scared her instead. It was a big, round, white thing with green leaves. It looked like a giant cauliflower, but it had eyes and a mouth. It was a cauliflower monster! + +The cauliflower monster saw Mia and opened its mouth. It said in a loud and scary voice, "Hello, little girl. Do you want to be my snack?" + +Mia screamed and ran away. She was very afraid of the cauliflower monster. She wanted to find Leo and go back to the house. + +Leo heard Mia scream and came out of his hiding spot. He saw the cauliflower monster and realized it was not a real monster. It was a puppet that his dad had made for a joke. He felt bad for scaring Mia. He ran after her and called her name. + +"Mia, Mia, wait! It's not a real monster, it's a puppet! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was there. Please don't be mad at me!" + +Mia stopped and turned around. She saw Leo holding the puppet and smiling. She realized it was a joke and felt silly for being scared. She smiled back and said, "It's okay, Leo. You didn't scare me, you just surprised me. But next time, don't hide behind a cauliflower. It's not a good spot." +Once upon a time there was a tall man called Paul. He liked to keep fit, so every day he did an exercise. He stood in a room and did deep breaths in and out. He made sure they were really tight. + +Every day at five o'clock, Paul would put on his trainers, and go outside. He started running and he chased the birds away. He ran so fast, his trainers bounced on the ground. After a few minutes he stopped and did some stretching to make his muscles feel tight. + +Then he ran again and this time he went straight ahead.
