Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. Lily saw a red block and wanted to use it for her tower. But Tom had the red block and he did not want to share.
"Give me the red block, Tom!" Lily said.
"No, it is mine!" Tom said.
They both pulled the red block and it flew out of their hands. It landed on the table where Mom had a candle. The candle was burning and it made the block catch fire.
"Fire! Fire!" Lily and Tom shouted.
Mom heard them and ran to the living room. She saw the burning block and the candle. She quickly grabbed a cloth and put out the fire. She was angry and scared.
"What are you doing, Lily and Tom? You could have burned the house or your faces! You should never play with fire or candles!" Mom said.
Lily and Tom felt sorry and scared. They did not mean to make a fire. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted the red block," Lily said.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I did not want to share," Tom said.
Mom hugged them back and said she was glad they were not hurt. She said they should always be careful and listen to her. She said they should share and play nicely. She said she loved them.
"I'm glad you are not hurt, Lily and Tom. You should always be careful and listen to me. You should share and play nicely. I love you," Mom said.
Lily and Tom said they loved Mom too. They said they would be careful and listen to her. They said they would share and play nicely. They picked up their blocks and started to build again. They used the red block together. They were happy.
