+Once upon a time, there was a little mole. He was very sad and he cried.
+
+"Why are you so sad, little mole?" asked his best friend, a rabbit.
+
+"I can't get out of this hole," said the mole, and he started to cry again.
+The rabbit felt so sad for the mole that he wanted to help. He started to dig and scratch at the hard ground around the hole. He worked very hard to get the mole out and when he was done, the mole was free!
+
+The mole and the rabbit hugged, very happy that he was free.
+
+"Thank you for getting me out, friend," said the mole.
+
+The rabbit smiled and said, "You are welcome, mole."
+
+And they both lived happily ever after.
+Once upon a time there lived a little girl called Lily. She was three years old and didn't like to eat salads. Every day, her mom gave her a big salad for dinner. She looked at it, but she just couldn't eat it.
+
+One day, she said to her mom, "I hate salads!"
+
+Her mom was a bit surprised but she was very patient. She said, "No you don't, salads are yummy. Just try it!"
+
+Lily crossed her arms and said, "Nuh-uh! I don't like them!"
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, I'm getting a bit impatient. You have to eat something."
+
+But Lily didn't want to eat her salad. She just shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to!"
+
+Her mom didn't give up. She said, "Just take one bite. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat the rest."
+
+Lily was still skeptical, but she decided to give it a try. She took one bite and immediately changed her mind! "This salad is so yummy!" she said. From that day on, she looked forward to dinner salad time!
+Once upon a time there was a lucky frog called Max. He lived near some water that he liked to swim in every day. One day, he felt like he wanted to go much faster than he usually did. So he hopped across the water as fast as he could and shouted, "Whee! I'm speed racing!" 
+
+Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name. It was his best friend Tommy the Turtle. Tommy was curious to find out why Max was hopping so fast. So Max stopped and shouted back "I'm speed racing! I'm trying to be the fastest frog in the world!" 
+
+Tommy thought this was a great idea and wanted to join in. So the two friends hopped together at the same speed and tried to see who could go the farthest across the water. They hopped and hopped as fast as they could for what felt like forever, until eventually, Max hopped across the water faster than Tommy and he won the race!
+
+Max was so happy and excited. He shouted, "I'm the luckiest frog in the world! I won the speed race!"
+Once upon a time there were two best friends, Mia and Jake. They were walking on the beach, when Mia saw something under the water.

+The two friends jumped into the water. Under the surface Mia saw a stitch. It was wet and sparkly.
+
+Mia shouted, "I found it!"
+
+Jake said, "Let's bring it back up to the beach."
+
+Mia smiled and grabbed the stitch. Together they climbed out of the water and put the stitch in Mia's pocket.

+
+Suddenly, the little girl shouted: "Mommy, can I put this too?"

+
+"Oh," Grandma smiled. "The blue hockey puck is very rare, so it is staying home with Granddad. He will look after it very careful."
+
+The little girl nodded. She knew that the blue hockey puck was special. Then she asked if she could come and play hockey with Grandma.
+

+
+She was holding a thin string in her hand and had it looped around her fingers.
+
+"What is it, Mommy?" asked Daddy.
+
+"I'm going to tie it around your wrist!" said Mommy. She finished looping the string around Daddy's wrist and tied it in a bow.
+
+"What's this?" asked Daddy.
+
+"It's a special bracelet. It's mine," said Mommy.
+
+Daddy looked at the bracelet and smiled. It was blue with stripes of red and white. 
+
+"I like it. Can I have one too?" asked Daddy.
+
+"Of course," said Mommy. She took the string and looped it around Daddy's other wrist, but she was clumsy and the string fell off.
+
+"Here, let me try," said Daddy. He carefully held the string and looped it around his wrist, forming a perfect bow.
+
+"There, all finished," said Daddy. 
+
+Mommy smiled, watching her clumsy husband create a beautiful bracelet. 
+
+"It's a special bracelet and it's mine!" said Daddy.

+
+His Mom smiled and said, "It's a family picture, with all of us in it. It's very special, so we hang it in a special place."
+
+The boy thought the picture was really nice, but he noticed that everyone in the picture was looking very serious. He asked his Mom, "Why is everyone in the picture looking so serious?"

+
+His mom smiled and said, "That's OK, but don't forget to take a break and come back to me every once in a while."

+The little boy nodded.
+
+Mama and Papa took the little boy to the park. They played for a while and then Papa suggested a race. The little boy smiled. Mama looked at them and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+The little boy ran as fast as he could, but didn't win. Papa smiled and said, "Good job trying, buddy." Mama said, "That was a very close race. Now let's have our picnic."
+
+The little boy sat down and looked around. Everything was dry and sunny, so they all agreed to eat outside. The food was delicious and the little boy seemed to enjoy it very much.
+
+When it was time to leave, Papa said, "Be sure to mind us on the way back, ok?" The little boy nodded and followed Mama and Papa back home.
+
+They all had a great day and enjoyed the picnic in the dry and sunny park.
+Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a house. They take turns to be the mom, the dad, the baby, or the pet. Sometimes they also have other roles, like a doctor, a teacher, or a judge.
+
+One day, they decide to play court. Lily is the judge and Ben is the lawyer. They use a book as a gavel, a hat as a wig, and a scarf as a robe. They find some toys that they can use as evidence. They have a lot of fun making up cases and rules.
+
+But then, Lily sees that Ben has her favorite doll. She wants it back. She says, "Ben, give me my doll. It is mine. You are not a normal lawyer. You are a bad thief."
+
+Ben says, "No, Lily, this is not your doll. This is my client. She is innocent. You are not a normal judge. You are a mean tyrant."
+
+They start to argue and shout. They forget that they are playing pretend. They get angry and sad. They throw the book, the hat, and the scarf. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben crying and the box and the toys scattered. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why are you not sharing?"
+
+Lily and Ben try to explain, but they are too upset. They blame each other. They say, "She is not a normal judge. He is not a normal lawyer. She is a bad thief. He is a mean tyrant."
+
+Mom says, "Stop, stop, stop. You are not a judge or a lawyer. You are Lily and Ben. You are brother and sister. You are normal kids. You are good kids. You can play pretend, but you have to be nice and fair. You have to respect and love each other. You have to close your mouths and open your ears. You have to listen and apologize."
+
+Lily and Ben realize that Mom is right. They feel sorry for what they did. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. We were not nice and fair. We did not respect and love each other. We did not close our mouths and open our ears. We did not listen and apologize."
+
+Mom says, "That's OK. I forgive you. Lily, Ben, I love you. You are my normal kids. You are my good kids. Now, can you hug and make up?"
+
+Lily and Ben hug and make up. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love you, Lily. We love you, Ben. We are normal kids. We are good kids. We are brother and sister. We can play pretend, but we will be nice and fair. We will respect and love each other. We will close our mouths and open our ears. We will listen and apologize."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's wonderful. I'm proud of you. Now, how about we clean up this mess and have some cookies?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please. That sounds great. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They clean up the mess and have some cookies. They are happy and calm. They are normal kids. They are good kids. They are brother and sister. They are Lily and Ben. The end.
+Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big cow in the field. They wanted to pet the cow and feed it some grass.
+
+"Hello, cow!" Tim said. "You are so big and soft. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The cow looked at them and mooed. It seemed friendly and happy. Tim and Lily walked closer to the cow and reached out their hands.
+
+"Be careful!" Lily said. "The cow has sharp horns. They can hurt you if you touch them."
+
+Tim did not listen to Lily. He wanted to touch the horns. He thought they were cool and shiny. He moved his hand closer and closer to the horn.
+
+"Ow!" Tim cried. The horn poked his hand and made a cut. It hurt a lot and blood came out. Tim dropped the grass and ran away from the cow.
+
+Lily followed him and tried to help him. She wrapped his hand with her scarf and hugged him. She was scared and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim," Lily said. "I told you to be careful. The horn was sharp. Are you okay?"
+
+Tim shook his head. He was not okay. He was in pain and he was angry. He did not want to be friends with the cow anymore. He did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. He blamed her for his cut.
+
+"Go away, Lily!" Tim said. "You are a bad friend. You made the cow hurt me. I don't like you anymore."
+
+Lily was shocked and hurt. She did not make the cow hurt Tim. She tried to warn him and help him. She did not understand why Tim was so mean to her. She felt tears in her eyes.
+
+"Tim, please don't say that," Lily said. "I'm sorry you got hurt, but it was not my fault. I'm your friend. I love you."
+
+Tim did not care. He turned away from Lily and walked home. He left her alone in the field with the cow. He did not look back.
+
+Lily felt very lonely and sad. She wished Tim would come back and say he was sorry. She wished they could be friends again. She wished the cow would not be so sharp. She wished the day would be warm and happy. But it was not. It was cold and bad. The end.
+Sara and Ben like to play on the beach. They find many things in the sand and the water. They find shells, crabs, and seaweed. One day, they find something new. It is hard and round and gray. It is an oyster.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is this?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it is a rock," Ben says.
+
+"No, it is not a rock. It has a crack. Maybe there is something inside," Sara says.
+
+She tries to open the oyster with her fingers, but it is too tight. She looks for a stick or a stone to help her.
+
+"Let me see, Sara. Maybe I can open it," Ben says.
+
+He takes the oyster from Sara and tries to pry it open with his teeth. He makes a face and spits out a piece of shell.
+
+"Yuck, this is not good. It is hard and salty," Ben says.
+
+He throws the oyster away and wipes his mouth.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that? I wanted to see what was inside," Sara says.
+
+She is angry and sad. She runs after the oyster and picks it up.
+
+"Maybe there is a pearl inside. A pearl is shiny and pretty. I want to see it," Sara says.
+
+She looks for a way to open the oyster. She sees a big rock near the water. She thinks it can help her.
+
+"Come, Ben, help me. We can prepare the oyster on this rock. Maybe we can find a pearl," Sara says.
+
+She hopes Ben will come and play with her again. She wants to share the oyster with him. She wants to be friends.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They zoom them on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They make noises like vroom, beep, honk.
+
+One day, they have a new idea. They want to zoom their cars on the fridge. The fridge is big and white and cold. It has magnets and pictures on it. Tom and Lily think it will be fun to stick their cars on the fridge and make them slide down.
+
+They run to the kitchen with their cars. They climb on a chair and reach the fridge. They stick their cars on the fridge with the magnets. They watch them slide down slowly. They laugh and clap.
+
+"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, my car is prettier than yours!" Lily says.
+
+They stick their cars on the fridge again and again. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Mom comes to the kitchen. She sees Tom and Lily on the chair. She sees their cars on the fridge. She sees the magnets and the pictures falling down. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What are you doing? You are making a mess! You are being crazy!" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily stop playing. They look at Mom. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We wanted to zoom our cars on the fridge." Tom says.
+
+"Yeah, sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to make a mess. We thought it was fun." Lily says.
+
+Mom sighs. She loves Tom and Lily, but sometimes they are too wild. She tells them to get down from the chair. She tells them to pick up their cars and the magnets and the pictures. She tells them to help her clean the fridge.
+
+Tom and Lily do what Mom says. They help her clean the fridge. They say sorry again. They hug Mom.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She smiles. She knows they are good kids. She knows they have a lot of imagination. She tells them to play with their cars somewhere else. She tells them to be careful.
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They take their cars and go to their room. They zoom them on the bed, on the shelf, on the rug. They make noises like vroom, beep, honk. They have fun, but not too much. They don't want to make Mom angry again. They love Mom.
+Lily and Tom are playing with a big box. They want to make a car out of the box. They find some wheels and a screw. They put the wheels on the box with the screw.
+
+"Look, we have a car!" Lily says. "Let's go for a ride!"
+
+They sit in the box and pretend to drive. They make noises like a car. Vroom, vroom!
+
+But the screw is not tight. It is loose. The wheels start to fall off. The box is rough. It hurts their bottoms.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "The car is broken!"
+
+They stop the box and get out. They look at the screw. It is on the ground.
+
+"We need a tool to fix the screw," Lily says. "Do you have a tool, Tom?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not have a tool. He has a ball.
+
+"Maybe we can play with the ball instead," he says. "The ball is smooth and soft. It does not hurt."
+
+Lily nods. She likes the ball. She throws the ball to Tom. He catches it and throws it back.
+
+They forget about the box and the screw. They have fun with the ball. They laugh and smile.
+Mia loves to bathe in the big tub. She likes to splash the water and play with her toys. She has a duck, a frog and a boat. She makes them swim and talk to each other.
+
+"Quack, quack, I am the duck. I like to float on the water and flap my wings," she says.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit, I am the frog. I like to jump and dive and catch bugs," she says.
+
+"Beep, beep, I am the boat. I like to zoom and steer and carry people," she says.
+
+Mia has so much fun that she does not hear her mom calling her. Her mom comes to the bathroom and sees Mia in the tub.
+
+"Mia, it is time to get out. You have been in the water for a long time. You will get cold and wrinkly," her mom says.
+
+"But mom, I am not done. I want to play more," Mia says.
+
+"Mia, you can play again tomorrow. Now you need to dry off and get ready for bed. Come on, I have a soft towel for you," her mom says.
+
+Mia pouts and makes a sad face. She does not want to leave her toys. Her mom sees her face and smiles. She is compassionate and understands how Mia feels.
+
+"Okay, Mia, how about this. You can take one toy with you to bed. Which one do you want?" her mom says.
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She loves all her toys, but she decides to pick the duck. She likes how it quacks and cuddles.
+
+"I want the duck, mom. The duck is my friend," Mia says.
+
+"Alright, Mia, you can have the duck. But first, let me wrap you in this towel and dry you off. You are all wet and soapy," her mom says.
+
+Mia nods and lets her mom lift her out of the tub. Her mom wraps her in a warm and fluffy towel and rubs her hair and skin. Mia feels cozy and happy. She hugs the duck and says thank you to her mom.
+
+"You are welcome, Mia. You are a good girl. Now let's go to your room and put on your pajamas. Then we can read a story and say good night," her mom says.
+
+Mia agrees and follows her mom to her room. She puts on her pajamas and climbs into her bed. She holds the duck close to her chest and listens to her mom read a story. She feels sleepy and yawns. She kisses her mom and says good night.
+
+"Good night, Mia. I love you. Sweet dreams," her mom says.
+
+"Good night, mom. I love you too. And I love the duck," Mia says.
+
+Mia closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of bathing and playing with her toys. She is happy and peaceful.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, please?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun.
+
+Lily sees a bug on the slide. It is green and has six legs. It is a lovely bug. Lily likes bugs.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bug!" Lily says. She points to the bug.
+
+"Wow, a bug!" Ben says. He looks at the bug. He likes bugs too.
+
+They sit on the slide and watch the bug. The bug crawls on the slide. It tickles their feet. They giggle.
+
+The bug flies away. It goes to a flower. Lily and Ben wave to the bug.
+
+"Bye, bye, bug!" they say. They smile at each other. They are happy. They go on the slide again.
+Sara and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and books. They like to pretend they are spies and hide from the bad guys. Sara has a lock on her door. She can lock it with a key. Ben has an alarm on his window. He can turn it on and off with a button.
+
+One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She wants to check on them and see what they are doing. Sara and Ben do not want to stop playing. They want to trick their mom. Sara locks the door and Ben turns on the alarm. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Shh, don't make any noise. Maybe she will go away."
+
+"Or maybe she will think we are in trouble and call the police."
+
+"That would be fun. We can pretend we are in danger and need help."
+
+They giggle and wait for their mom's reaction.
+
+Their mom hears the lock and the alarm. She is worried and confused. She tries to open the door, but it does not move. She hears the alarm beep and buzz. She calls their names, but they do not answer. She thinks something is wrong. She panics and runs to get her phone.
+
+"Sara, Ben, are you okay? What is going on? Answer me, please!"
+
+She dials 911 and tells them her address and her problem. She says she thinks her children are locked in their room and there is an alarm going off. She says she does not know what is happening and she needs help.
+
+Sara and Ben hear their mom's voice and her phone. They realize they made a big mistake. They did not mean to scare their mom. They did not think she would call the police. They feel bad and sorry. They unlock the door and turn off the alarm. They run to their mom and hug her. They say they are sorry and they were just playing. They say they love her and they did not want to make her worry.
+
+Their mom is relieved and angry. She hugs them back and says she loves them too. She says she is glad they are okay, but they are also in trouble. She says they should never lock the door and turn on the alarm. She says they should never lie to her or ignore her. She says they should never play with things that are not toys. She says they should always listen to her and tell her the truth.
+
+She takes them to the living room and makes them sit on the couch. She says they have to wait for the police to come and explain what they did. She says they have to apologize and promise to never do it again. She says they have to learn from their mistake and be more careful and respectful.
+
+Sara and Ben feel ashamed and guilty. They nod and say they understand. They say they are sorry and they will never do it again. They say they want to be good and make their mom proud. They hope the police will not be mad at them. They hope their mom will forgive them. They hug each other and wait for the police to come.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big purple balloon in the sky. It was shiny and round.
+
+"Look, a purple balloon!" Lila said. "I want it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go get it!"
+
+They ran towards the balloon. But it was very far away. They had to cross a bridge over a river. The river was cold and wet. It made a lot of mist. The mist was white and soft.
+
+"Wow, mist!" Lila said. "It feels nice!"
+
+"Yes, it does!" Ben said. "But where is the balloon?"
+
+They looked up. The balloon was still in the sky. But it was smaller and higher. They could not reach it.
+
+"Oh no, the balloon is going away!" Lila said. "We are too slow!"
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone to help us!" Ben said. "Maybe they can provide us a ladder or a rope!"
+
+They saw a man with a hat and a coat. He was walking on the bridge. He had a big bag.
+
+"Excuse me, sir!" Lila said. "Can you help us?"
+
+The man stopped and looked at them. He smiled.
+
+"Hello, little ones!" he said. "What do you need?"
+
+"We want the purple balloon!" Ben said. "But it is too high!"
+
+The man looked at the balloon. He nodded.
+
+"I see, I see!" he said. "Well, I have something in my bag that might help you. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They were curious.
+
+The man opened his bag. He took out a small box. He opened the box. Inside, there were many tiny purple balloons. They were shiny and round.
+
+"Here you go!" he said. "These are for you! You can have as many as you want!"
+
+Lila and Ben gasped. They were amazed.
+
+"Wow, thank you, sir!" Lila said. "These are so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, thank you, sir!" Ben said. "These are so fun!"
+
+They each took a handful of purple balloons. They blew them up and tied them. They held them in their hands. They felt happy.
+
+The man smiled. He closed his bag and his box.
+
+"You're welcome, little ones!" he said. "Have a nice day!"
+
+He waved and walked away.
+
+Lila and Ben waved back. They looked at each other. They looked at their purple balloons. They smiled.
+
+"Let's go play with our balloons!" Lila said.
+
+"Let's go!" Ben said.
+
+They ran and jumped and slid. They played with their balloons. They forgot about the big purple balloon in the sky. They had their own purple balloons. They were enough.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with pots and pans. But they also made a big mess on the floor. There was water and flour and bits of carrot everywhere.
+
+"Who will clean this up?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"Not me," Tom said. "I'm too busy cooking. You do it."
+
+Lily felt angry. She thought Tom was rude. He always made her do the hard work. She looked around and saw a mop in the corner. She had an idea.
+
+"OK, I'll do it," she said. "But you have to taste my special soup first. It's very good."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked soup. He did not question Lily. He did not see the look on her face. He did not know what she was planning.
+
+Lily took the mop and dipped it in the water. Then she added some flour and carrot and stirred it with the mop. She poured some of the mop soup into a bowl and gave it to Tom.
+
+"Here you go," she said. "Enjoy!"
+
+Tom took a big spoonful of the mop soup and put it in his mouth. He spat it out right away. It was awful. It was dirty and bitter and hairy.
+
+"Yuck!" he cried. "What is this?"
+
+Lily laughed. She pointed at the mop.
+
+"It's mop soup," she said. "That's what you get for being rude. Now you have to clean the floor."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He realized he had been mean to Lily. He said he was sorry and asked her to help him. They cleaned the floor together and then made a real soup with good things. They shared it and said it was yummy. They learned to be nice to each other.
+Sara was sad. She missed her mom. Mom went to work and Sara stayed with Grandma. Grandma was nice, but Sara wanted Mom.
+
+Sara felt cold. She looked for her sweater. Her sweater was pink and soft. She liked her sweater. She found it on the bed. She put it on and hugged it.
+
+Sara heard a noise. She saw a bird. The bird was on the window. The bird was hurt. It had a broken wing. It looked weak and scared.
+
+Sara wanted to help the bird. She opened the window. She took the bird in her hands. She was gentle. She brought the bird to Grandma.
+
+Grandma smiled. She got a box and a cloth. She put the bird in the box. She covered it with the cloth. She gave Sara some seeds and water. She said, "You can comfort the bird. The bird needs a friend. You are a good friend, Sara."
+
+Sara smiled. She felt warm. She gave the bird some seeds and water. She talked to the bird. She said, "Don't be sad, bird. I am here. You are not alone. You will get better soon. I love you, bird."
+
+The bird looked at Sara. It made a soft sound. It ate some seeds and drank some water. It felt comforted. It loved Sara too.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys in the bathtub. They had a boat, a fish, a duck and a shark. The shark was Ben's favorite toy. He liked to make it swim and bite the other toys. Mia did not like the shark. She was scared of it. She liked to make the fish and the duck talk to each other.
+
+One day, Ben was playing with the shark and he made it bite the boat. The boat broke in half. Ben was sad. He wanted to fix the boat. He asked Mia for help. Mia was angry. She said, "No, I will not help you. You broke the boat with your mean shark. You are not nice to me or the other toys. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not want to be mean. He wanted to be nice. He wanted to fix the boat. He looked at the shark. The shark looked at him. Ben had an idea. He said, "Shark, you are very intelligent. You can help me fix the boat. You have strong teeth and a big mouth. You can hold the boat together. Please, help me."
+
+The shark nodded. He was intelligent. He wanted to help Ben. He took the boat in his mouth and held it together. Ben found some tape and wrapped it around the boat. He thanked the shark. He said, "Shark, you are very helpful. You are not mean. You are nice. Thank you for helping me fix the boat."
+
+Mia saw what Ben and the shark did. She was surprised. She said, "Ben, you are very clever. You fixed the boat with the shark. You are not mean. You are nice. I am sorry for being angry. Can I play with you and the shark?"
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, you can play with us. We can share the toys. We can be friends. The shark can be our friend too. He is very intelligent and nice. He likes to play."
+
+They all played together in the bathtub. They had fun. They learned to be nice and helpful and to share. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They named him Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Tom said. "You are a mighty snowman. Do you like the snow?"
+
+Frosty did not answer. He just smiled with his carrot nose.
+
+Lily picked up some snow and made a ball. She threw it at Tom. "Snowball fight!" she shouted.
+
+Tom laughed and threw a snowball back at Lily. They ran and dodged and threw snowballs at each other and at Frosty. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon they started to feel cold. The snow was wet and cold. It stuck to their clothes and hair. They began to shiver.
+
+"Brrr, I'm cold!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa."
+
+"Me too!" Tom said. "Come on, Frosty. You can come with us."
+
+But Frosty did not move. He just smiled with his carrot nose.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the house. They left Frosty in the snow. They did not know that Frosty was made of magic powder. He could come alive when no one was looking. He could dance and sing and play with the other snowmen. He was a happy snowman. He liked the snow. He did not shiver. He did not need hot cocoa. He just needed a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose and two coal eyes. And he needed Tom and Lily to be his friends. He hoped they would come back soon. He smiled with his carrot nose.
+Lily was a gifted girl who loved to draw. She had many colors and papers to make beautiful pictures. One day, she wanted to draw a rose for her mom, who was sick in bed. She looked out the window and saw a rose bush in the garden. She put on her shoes and ran outside.
+
+She picked a big red rose and smelled it. It was sweet and fresh. She ran back inside and found her colors and papers. She drew a rose with red and green and yellow. She was very happy with her picture. She wrote "I love you, Mom" on it and ran to her mom's room.
+
+She knocked on the door and opened it. She saw her mom lying in bed, looking pale and tired. She smiled when she saw Lily and said, "Hello, my sweetie. What do you have there?"
+
+Lily held up her picture and said, "I made this for you, Mom. It is a rose. I picked it from the garden. Do you like it?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "I love it, Lily. It is very beautiful. You are very gifted, my dear. Thank you for this lovely gift."
+
+She reached out her hand and Lily gave her the picture and the rose. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. Lily felt happy and proud. She hugged her mom back and said, "You are welcome, Mom. I hope you feel better soon."
+
+They cuddled for a while and then Lily said, "Can I read you a story, Mom?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "That would be nice, Lily. You are very kind and smart. I am lucky to have you."
+
+Lily smiled and picked a book from the shelf. She sat on the bed and read to her mom. They both enjoyed the story and felt happy. Lily was a gifted girl who loved to draw and read and make her mom happy.
+Lily and Ben wanted to go to the theater to see a show. They liked to watch people sing and dance on the big stage. But first, they had to get ready. Lily put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. Ben put on his blue shirt and his black pants.
+
+"Mom, can you help me tie my shoes?" Ben asked. He did not know how to make a knot with the laces.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let me see your feet." Mom said. She bent down and tied Ben's shoes for him. She made a loop, a swoop, and a pull.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best." Ben said. He smiled and hugged Mom.
+
+Lily watched Ben and Mom. She felt angry. She wanted Mom to help her too. She did not like her dress. It was too tight and itchy. She wanted to wear something else.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to wear this dress. It's not comfortable. Can I wear my jeans and my t-shirt?" Lily asked. She tried to pull off her dress.
+
+"No, Lily. You have to wear the dress. It's a special occasion. We are going to the theater, remember? You have to look nice." Mom said. She stopped Lily from taking off her dress.
+
+"But Mom, I don't like it. It makes me feel bad. Please, let me change." Lily said. She started to cry.
+
+"Lily, stop crying. You look beautiful in the dress. Trust me. You will have fun at the theater. Now, come on. We have to go. Dad is waiting for us in the car." Mom said. She took Lily's hand and led her to the door.
+
+Lily did not want to go. She wanted to stay home. She wanted to wear her jeans and her t-shirt. She wanted to be comfortable. She did not care about the theater. She did not care about the show. She was unhappy.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their backyard. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They opened the box and saw many things inside. There were books, toys, clothes, and a flashlight.
+
+"Wow, look at this flashlight!" Max said. He picked it up and turned it on. The flashlight made a bright light that shone on the grass.
+
+"Can I see it?" Lily asked. She reached for the flashlight, but Max pulled it away.
+
+"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Max said. He ran away with the flashlight, leaving Lily behind.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the flashlight too. She followed Max and tried to get the flashlight back. They started to fight and yell.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw the twins fighting over the flashlight. She took the flashlight from Max and looked at it.
+
+"Where did you get this?" Mom asked.
+
+"We found it in a box under the tree," Lily said.
+
+Mom nodded. She knew the box belonged to their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was moving to another house and gave them some of his things.

+"This flashlight is not an ordinary flashlight," Mom said. "It is a special flashlight that can make different colors and sounds. Mr. Lee told me it was his favorite toy when he was a kid. He wanted to give it to you as a gift."
+
+"A gift?" Max and Lily said.
+
+"Yes, a gift. That means he wanted you to have it and be happy. But you have to share it and play nicely. Can you do that?" Mom asked.
+
+Max and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting over the flashlight. They nodded and said, "Yes, Mom."
+
+"Good. Then I will give you the flashlight back. But you have to accept it together and say thank you to Mr. Lee. Can you do that?" Mom asked.
+
+Max and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled and handed them the flashlight. They took it and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee!"
+
+They hugged Mom and ran to the backyard. They turned on the flashlight and saw the different colors and sounds. They laughed and played with the flashlight. They learned to share and have fun. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games to have fun with. But sometimes they also liked to play with the ceiling. The ceiling had many shapes and colors that they could imagine as different things.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben were playing with the ceiling. Anna pointed at a yellow spot and said, "Look, that's a sunflower. It's so pretty and bright." Ben nodded and said, "Yes, and that's a bee. It's flying to the sunflower to get some honey." They smiled and made buzzing sounds.
+
+But then Anna saw a dark spot and said, "Oh no, that's a storm cloud. It's going to rain on the sunflower and the bee. We have to stop it." Ben looked at the spot and said, "No, that's not a storm cloud. That's a bird. It's flying to the sunflower and the bee to say hello. It's friendly." He made chirping sounds.
+
+Anna and Ben started to argue. Anna said, "It is a storm cloud. It's big and scary and wet. It will ruin our play." Ben said, "It is a bird. It's small and cute and dry. It will join our play." They raised their voices and frowned.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw them fighting and said, "What's wrong, Anna and Ben? Why are you so angry?" Anna and Ben told her about the ceiling and their different ideas. Mom listened and said, "I see. You both have good imaginations, but you also have different opinions. That's okay. You don't have to agree on everything. But you also don't have to be bitter and mean to each other. You can respect and listen to each other. And you can find a way to play together."
+
+Anna and Ben thought about what mom said. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." They hugged and said, "We love you." They looked at the ceiling again and said, "Let's play something else." Mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea. How about you play with these stickers? You can make your own shapes and colors on the ceiling." She gave them a pack of stickers and left them to play. Anna and Ben were happy and said, "Thank you, mom." They opened the pack and started to stick the stickers on the ceiling. They made a rainbow, a star, a heart, and many other things. They played nicely and had fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They did not disturb their mom, who was working on her laptop in the kitchen.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. Who could it be? They were curious and ran to the door. They peeked through the window and saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He had a mysterious smile on his face and a big box in his hands.
+
+"Hello, kids!" the man said. "I have a special delivery for you. Can you open the door for me?"
+
+Lily and Tom felt scared. They did not know the man. They did not see his eyes under his hat. They did not like his smile. They did not want his box.
+
+They ran back to the living room and hid behind the couch. They whispered to each other.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe he is a bad guy. Maybe he wants to take our toys."
+
+"What should we do?" Lily asked.
+
+"We should tell mom," Tom said. "She will know what to do."
+
+They crawled to the kitchen and tugged on their mom's sleeve. They pointed to the door and said, "Mom, mom, there is a man outside. He has a box. He wants to come in. We are scared."
+
+Their mom looked at them and saw their frightened faces. She saw their lip trembling. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, kids. I will see who it is. You stay here."
+
+She walked to the door and opened it. She saw the man with the big hat and the long coat. She saw the box in his hands. She recognized him. She smiled and said, "Hello, uncle Jack. What a nice surprise. What do you have there?"
+
+The man took off his hat and said, "Hello, sis. I have a present for the kids. It's their birthday, right? I brought them a cake and some balloons. Can I come in?"
+
+Their mom said, "Of course, uncle Jack. Come in, come in. The kids are in the kitchen. They will be so happy to see you."
+
+She took the box from him and led him to the kitchen. She called out, "Lily, Tom, look who is here. It's your uncle Jack. He has a surprise for you."
+
+Lily and Tom peeked from behind the couch. They saw their uncle Jack. They saw the cake and the balloons. They realized he was not a bad guy. He was a good guy. He was their mom's brother. He was their uncle. They felt silly and happy. They ran to him and hugged him. They said, "Uncle Jack, uncle Jack, thank you for the cake and the balloons. We are sorry we were scared. We did not know it was you. You are the best uncle ever."
+
+Uncle Jack laughed and said, "You are welcome, kids. I am sorry I scared you. I was just trying to be funny. I love you very much. Happy birthday."
+
+They all went to the living room and ate the cake and played with the balloons. They had a lot of fun and did not disturb anyone. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, sort them, and trade them.
+
+One day, they decided to have a marble contest. They wanted to see who had the most marbles. They each brought their marbles to the park and put them in a big pile. Then they took turns to pick one marble and say its name and color.
+
+Lily picked a blue marble and said, "This is a sky marble. It is blue like the sky." Max picked a red marble and said, "This is a fire marble. It is red like fire." They kept picking marbles and saying their names and colors.
+
+But then, Lily picked a marble that Max recognized. It was a rainbow marble. It had many colors and sparkles. It was Max's favorite marble. He had lost it last week and could not find it. He said, "Hey, that is my marble! You took my marble!"
+
+Lily said, "No, it is not. It is my marble. I found it in the sandbox. It is a rainbow marble. It is the prettiest marble." Max said, "No, it is not. It is mine. I had it first. Give it back to me!" They both wanted the marble. They were very competitive.
+
+They started to pull the marble from each other. They were angry and sad. They did not want to share. They did not want to be friends anymore.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was their teacher, Miss Lee. She had seen them fighting. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a marble? Don't you know that marbles are for playing, not for fighting? Don't you know that friendship is more important than marbles?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They knew that Miss Lee was right. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play. They wanted to be friends. They said, "We are sorry, Miss Lee. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Max."
+
+They gave each other a hug. They decided to share the rainbow marble. They said, "This is a friendship marble. It has many colors like our friendship. It is the best marble." They smiled and laughed. They continued their marble contest. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play on their farm. They had many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and a big bull. The bull was very strong and loud, but also very kind. He liked to eat grass and apples, and sometimes he let the twins ride on his back.
+
+One day, their dad told them he had to deliver some milk and eggs to the distant town. He said he would be back soon, and asked them to stay near the house and be careful. He also said not to bother the bull, because he was very tired and needed to rest.
+
+Tom and Sue nodded, but they were curious. They wanted to see the distant town, and they thought the bull would like to go too. They waited until their dad was gone, and then they ran to the barn. They found the bull sleeping in his stall, and they tried to wake him up.
+
+"Come on, bull, let's go for a ride!" Tom said, pulling his ear.
+
+"Yeah, let's go see the town!" Sue said, climbing on his back.
+
+The bull opened his eyes and snorted. He was not happy. He shook his head and tried to get rid of the twins. He kicked his legs and ran out of the barn. He headed for the fence, hoping to escape.
+
+Tom and Sue screamed. They were scared. They held on to the bull's horns, but they could not stop him. The bull was too fast and too angry. He reached the fence and jumped over it. He ran across the road, and into the woods.
+
+The twins did not know where they were. They were lost and alone. They wished they had listened to their dad. They wished they had not bothered the bull. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+The bull stopped running. He was tired and sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He looked back and saw the twins. They were small and scared. He felt bad. He turned around and walked slowly to them. He lowered his head and nudged them gently. He wanted to say he was sorry.
+
+Tom and Sue looked up and saw the bull. They were surprised and relieved. They saw his eyes and his nose. They saw he was sorry. They forgave him. They hugged his neck and said they were sorry too.
+
+The bull licked their faces and smiled. He lifted them on his back and carried them home. He was careful and gentle. He crossed the road and the fence. He reached the barn and the house. He saw their dad waiting for them. He was worried and angry.
+
+Tom and Sue got off the bull and ran to their dad. They hugged him and said they were sorry. They told him what had happened. They said they had learned their lesson. They said they would never bother the bull again.
+
+Their dad was glad and proud. He hugged them and said he was sorry too. He said he loved them. He said he was happy they were safe. He thanked the bull for bringing them back. He gave him some grass and apples. He said he was a good bull.
+
+The bull was happy and proud too. He ate the grass and apples. He said he loved them too. He said he was a good bull. He said he was a good friend.
+Anna and Ben love to play with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who likes to run and jump and bark. Every day, Anna and Ben take Spot for a walk with a leash. The leash is a long, thin thing that they hold in their hands and attach to Spot's collar. The leash helps them keep Spot safe and close to them.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a new park near their house. They want to go there with Spot and see the swings and the slides and the flowers. They ask their mom if they can go, and she says yes, but they have to be careful and use the leash. Anna and Ben agree and put the leash on Spot. They are very enthusiastic and excited to go to the new park.
+
+When they get to the park, they see many other children and dogs playing there. Spot sees them too and starts to wag his tail and pull on the leash. He wants to go and say hello and play with them. Anna and Ben think that Spot is very friendly and that he will not do anything bad. They believe that they can let go of the leash and let Spot run free. They say to each other, "Spot is a good dog. He will come back when we call him. Let's let him have some fun."
+
+They let go of the leash and Spot runs away from them. He runs to the other dogs and tries to play with them, but some of them do not like him. They growl and snap at him and make him scared. He runs to the other children and tries to lick them, but some of them do not like him either. They scream and push him away and make him sad. He runs to the flowers and tries to smell them, but he steps on them and breaks them. He does not know that he is making a mess and hurting the flowers.
+
+Anna and Ben see what is happening and they feel sorry and worried. They call Spot and try to get him back, but he does not hear them. He is too busy and confused and lost. They run after him and try to catch him, but he is too fast and far. They wish they had not let go of the leash. They wish they had listened to their mom.
+
+After a long time, they finally find Spot. He is hiding under a bench, looking sad and scared. He sees Anna and Ben and wags his tail a little. He is happy to see them. They hug him and put the leash back on him. They say to him, "We are sorry, Spot. We made a mistake. We should have kept you on the leash. We love you, Spot. You are a good dog."
+
+They take Spot back home and tell their mom what happened. They say they are sorry and that they learned their lesson. They say they will never let go of the leash again. Their mom is not angry, but she is glad that they are safe and that they understand. She says to them, "I am proud of you, Anna and Ben. You are good children. You can go to the park again, but you have to use the leash. The leash is not to make Spot unhappy, but to make him happy and safe. The leash is a sign of love and care."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and smile. They agree with their mom. They hug Spot and thank him for being their friend. They believe that the leash is a good thing. They are enthusiastic and excited to go to the park again, with the leash.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hedge. The hedge is green and has many leaves.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek behind the hedge!" Mia says.
+
+"OK!" Tim says. "You count to ten and I hide!"
+
+Mia closes her eyes and counts. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+She opens her eyes and looks for Tim. She walks around the hedge. She does not see him. She hears a giggle.
+
+"Where are you, Tim?" Mia asks.
+
+"I'm here!" Tim says. He pops his head out of the hedge. He has a red hat on his head. He found the hat in the hedge. He thinks it is funny.
+
+Mia sees him and laughs. "You look silly with that hat!" she says.
+
+Tim laughs too. He takes off the hat and throws it back in the hedge. He stretches his arms and legs. He feels happy.
+
+"Let's play again!" he says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says. "But this time, I hide and you count!"
+
+They run to the hedge and start a new game. They have fun. They are good friends.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms and bugs. They had a big pot that they filled with water and leaves and pretended it was soup.
+
+"Let's taste our soup!" Tom said. He took a spoon and dipped it in the pot. He brought it to his mouth and made a face. "Yuck! It's bitter and cold!"
+
+Lila laughed. She took the spoon from Tom and tried the soup too. She spat it out and shook her head. "It's not good soup. We need something sweet and warm."
+
+They looked around the garden and saw a big tree with red apples. They ran to the tree and tried to reach the apples. But they were too high for them. They jumped and stretched but they could not touch them.
+
+"Maybe we can climb the tree," Lila said. She grabbed a branch and pulled herself up. She was very brave and graceful. She moved from branch to branch until she was near an apple.
+
+"Be careful, Lila!" Tom said. He watched her from the ground. He wanted to climb too but he was afraid. He felt his legs tremble.
+
+Lila reached for the apple and plucked it from the stem. She smiled and waved to Tom. "I got one! I got one!"
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was the farmer who owned the tree. He saw Lila and Tom and he was angry. He shouted at them and waved a stick.
+
+"Hey, you! Get down from there! You're stealing my apples!"
+
+Lila was scared. She dropped the apple and tried to climb down. But she slipped and fell. She landed on the pot and broke it. The water and leaves spilled everywhere.
+
+Tom ran to Lila and hugged her. He was glad she was not hurt. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. It's my fault. I wanted to taste the soup."
+
+Lila said, "It's okay, Tom. I wanted to taste the soup too. But we should not take things that are not ours."
+
+They looked at the farmer and said, "We're sorry, sir. We won't do it again."
+
+The farmer saw that they were sorry and he felt sorry too. He said, "It's all right, kids. But don't come here again. And don't play with pots. They're not toys."
+
+He gave them each an apple and sent them home. Lila and Tom thanked him and ran away. They ate the apples and they were sweet and warm. They decided that apples were better than soup.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the jungle. The jungle has many trees and animals. Lily and Ben like to see the animals.
+
+One day, they see a big lion. The lion is lazy. He is lying on the grass. He is not hunting or roaring. He is just sleeping.
+
+"Look, Ben, a lion!" Lily says. "He is so big and furry!"
+
+"Yes, he is," Ben says. "But he is also lazy. He does not do anything."
+
+Lily and Ben want to touch the lion. They are curious. They walk closer to the lion. They are not afraid.
+
+But the lion hears them. He opens his eyes. He sees Lily and Ben. He is angry. He does not like strangers. He growls at them.
+
+"Uh-oh, Ben, the lion is awake!" Lily says. "He is not happy!"
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben says. "We have to go back to our home!"
+
+Lily and Ben run away from the lion. They are scared. They do not want to play with the lion. They want to stay safe.
+
+They reach their home. Their home is a hut. It is made of wood and leaves. It is near the river. Their parents are waiting for them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, where have you been?" their mother asks. "We were worried about you!"
+
+"We were in the jungle, Mom," Lily says. "We saw a lion. He was lazy. But then he was angry. He chased us!"
+
+"A lion?" their father says. "That is very dangerous! You should not go near the lion. He can hurt you!"
+
+"We are sorry, Dad," Ben says. "We were just curious. We will not do it again."
+
+Lily and Ben hug their parents. They are happy to be home. They have learned a lesson. They will not bother the lazy lion. They will stay away from him. They will stay in their home. They will stay safe.
+Lily is excited. Today is her birthday. She wants to wake up early and see her presents. But she is still sleepy. She hears a knock on her door.
+
+"Good morning, Lily!" It is her mom. She comes in with a big smile and a big box. "Happy birthday, sweetie!"
+
+Lily opens her eyes and sees the box. She wonders what is inside. She tries to lift it, but it is too heavy. She needs help.
+
+"Can you help me, mom?" she asks.
+
+"Of course, honey. Let's lift it together." Mom helps Lily lift the box and put it on her bed. They open it and Lily gasps.
+
+It is a dollhouse! It has many rooms and furniture and dolls. It is so pretty and colorful. Lily loves it.
+
+"Wow, mom! Thank you so much! This is the best present ever!" she says.

+
+Lily hugs her mom and jumps out of bed. She is so excited. She can't wait to see what else her mom has planned for her birthday. She thinks it will be a wonderful day.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tom had a red car and Mia had a blue car. They raced each other on the grass and on the path.
+
+But then, Tom saw a big mosquito on Mia's arm. He wanted to help her and scare the mosquito away. He drove his car towards the mosquito and tried to hit it. But he missed and hit Mia's car instead. Mia's car flew off the path and landed in a puddle. Mia was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Tom.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Mia or her car. He wanted to say sorry and make her happy again. He picked up his car and drove it to the puddle. He used the reverse button to pull Mia's car out of the water. He gave it back to her and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was trying to help you. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mia looked at her car. It was wet and dirty, but it was not broken. She looked at Tom. He was sorry and kind. She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, Tom. I know you were trying to help me. Thank you for getting my car out of the puddle. I'm not mad at you."
+
+Tom and Mia smiled and hugged. They were friends again. They dried their cars with a towel and played some more. They stayed away from the mosquitoes and had fun.

+
+The dog barks and licks Tom's face. Tom laughs and hugs the dog.
+
+"Welcome, dog!" Anna says. "You are a nice dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks again and licks Anna's face. Anna giggles and pets the dog.
+

+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Spot is my dog. He likes to make new friends. He is a silly dog."
+
+"Hi, Ben. We are Tom and Anna. We like Spot. He is a funny dog. Can we play with him?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, you can play with him. He loves to play. But be careful, he might chase you. He likes to chase things. He is a fast dog." Ben says.

+
+Tom, Anna, Ben and Spot play in the park. They have fun. They are friends. They are not silly. They are smart.
+Lily and Max are playing in the backyard. They have a big box of tools. They like to pretend they are fixing things. Lily has a purple hammer. Max has a yellow screwdriver.
+
+"Can I use your hammer?" Max asks Lily. "I need to fix this chair."
+
+"No, you can't," Lily says. "This is my hammer. You have your screwdriver."
+
+"But I want to try your hammer," Max says. "It is purple. Purple is my favorite color."
+
+Lily shakes her head. "No, no, no. You can't have my hammer. Find another tool."
+
+Max is sad. He looks around the box. He sees a green saw, a blue wrench, a red pliers, and a orange drill. But he does not see another hammer.
+
+He goes to his mom. "Mom, can I have a hammer?" he asks. "Lily won't let me use hers."
+
+Mom smiles. "Why do you need a hammer, Max?" she asks.
+
+"I want to fix things," Max says. "And I like purple."

+Max's eyes light up. He takes the hammer and hugs it. "I love it, Mom!" he says. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+He runs back to the backyard. He shows Lily his hammer. "Look, Lily, I have a hammer too!" he says. "It is purple and has stickers on it. It is better than yours."
+
+Lily looks at Max's hammer. She is surprised. She thinks it is pretty. She wants to touch it.
+
+"Can I use your hammer?" she asks Max.
+
+Max smiles. He remembers how he felt when Lily said no to him. He does not want to make her sad.

+
+Lily whispers to Ben, "Ben, can you help me? What is two plus two?"
+
+Ben whispers back, "I do not know, Lily. I do not like math. I like to draw."
+
+Miss Lee hears them. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Ben, you are cheating! You are not allowed to talk or look at your friends. You have to do the math by yourself. Give me your papers. You get zero points. You have to stay after school. You have to do more math."

+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make their toys talk to each other and have fun.
+
+"Hello, I am Lily's doll. What is your name?" Lily made her doll say.
+
+"I am Ben's car. I can go very fast and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom!" Ben made his car say.
+
+They laughed and moved their toys around the grass. Then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and had sharp teeth. It looked dangerous.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+"No, Lily, it is a bad dog. It might hurt us or our toys. We have to run away!" Ben said.
+
+They grabbed their toys and ran to the slide. They climbed up the ladder and slid down. The dog followed them and jumped on the slide. It tried to bite their toys.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Ben shouted.
+
+A man came running from the other side of the park. He was the dog's owner. He saw the dog on the slide and called its name.
+
+"Rex, stop! Come here, boy!" He said.
+
+He knelt down and grabbed the dog by the collar. He pulled it off the slide and apologized to Lily and Ben.
+
+"I'm so sorry, kids. Rex is not a bad dog, but he is very playful and curious. He likes to chase things that move. He didn't mean to scare you or your toys." He said.
+
+Lily and Ben were still scared, but they saw that the man was nice and the dog was calm. They nodded and thanked the man.
+
+"Can we pet your dog?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, if you want to. He is friendly and soft. Just be gentle and don't pull his ears or tail." The man said.
+
+Lily and Ben knelt down and petted the dog. The dog licked their faces and wagged his tail. They smiled and felt better.
+
+They gave their toys to the dog and let him sniff them. The dog did not bite them, but played with them gently.
+
+"See, he likes our toys. He is not a dangerous dog, he is a silly dog." Ben said.
+
+Lily and Ben became friends with the dog and the man. They played together until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and hugged the dog.
+
+"Bye, Rex. You are a good dog. We hope to see you again." Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Bye, kids. You are very brave and kind. We hope to see you again, too." The man and the dog said.
+
+They waved and walked away. Lily and Ben were happy. They had a new adventure and a new friend. They still loved their toys, but they also loved the dog. They learned that not everything that looks dangerous is really dangerous. Sometimes, it is just different and fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, puzzles, and books. They liked to play with all of them, but they did not like to put them away. Soon, the living room was very messy. Toys were everywhere: on the floor, on the couch, on the table, and even on the lamp.
+
+Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, you need to clean up your toys. This is too messy. You cannot play with your toys if you do not take care of them. You have five minutes to put them away, or I will take them to the garage."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to lose their toys. They loved their toys. But they did not know how to clean up. There were so many toys, and they did not know where to start. They looked at each other and felt sad.
+
+Then, Ben had an idea. He said, "Lily, I know how to solve this. We can work together. We can sort the toys by type. You take the dolls, and I take the cars. Then we can put them in the right boxes. Then we can do the same with the blocks, the puzzles, and the books. It will be faster and easier if we help each other."
+
+Lily liked Ben's idea. She said, "OK, Ben, let's do that. It sounds like a good way to clean up. And maybe we can have some fun too." They smiled and started to sort the toys. They worked hard and fast. They talked and laughed. They made a game out of it. They finished in four minutes.
+
+Mom came back and saw the living room. She was very happy. She said, "Wow, Lily and Ben, you did a great job. The living room is very neat and tidy. You cleaned up your toys very well. I am proud of you. You can keep your toys and play with them again. But remember, you have to put them away when you are done. That is how you show respect and responsibility."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry for the mess. We learned how to solve it. We learned how to work together. We learned how to have fun and be neat. We will remember to put away our toys next time."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "You are welcome, my sweeties. I love you very much. You are very smart and kind. You are my best helpers. Now, how about we have some cookies and milk as a reward?"
+
+Lily and Ben cheered and followed Mom to the kitchen. They were happy and hungry. They enjoyed their cookies and milk. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that teamwork makes the dream work.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to roll down the hill.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's roll!" Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily says.
+
+They run to the top of the hill and lie down on the grass. They hold hands and start to roll. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream.
+
+They roll faster and faster. They twist and turn on the grass. They see the sky and the trees and the flowers. They feel happy and dizzy.
+
+They reach the bottom of the hill and stop. They let go of their hands and sit up. They look at each other and smile.
+
+"That was fun!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Lily says.
+
+They see a small butterfly on the grass. It has yellow and black wings. It flaps and flies.
+
+"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily says.
+
+They get up and try to catch the butterfly. They run and jump and reach. They follow the butterfly around the park. They have more fun.
+Lily was a healthy girl who liked to run and play. She had big brown eyes and long curly hair. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big slide. She wanted to try it, but she was a little scared.
+
+"Mom, can I go on the slide?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, if you want to. I'll be right here to catch you," her mom said.
+
+Lily climbed up the stairs and looked down. The slide was very high and shiny. She felt her heart beat fast. She wanted to be brave, but she also wanted to be safe.
+
+She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She told herself, "I can do it. I can do it." She put her hands on the sides and pushed herself forward. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She opened her eyes and saw the ground coming closer. She smiled and screamed with joy.
+
+She landed on her feet and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said, "I did it, mom! I did it!"
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I'm so proud of you, Lily. You managed to overcome your fear and have fun. You're a very brave girl."
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, mom. Can I go again?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, honey. As long as you're having fun and being careful."
+
+Lily ran back to the slide and climbed up again. She looked down and felt excited. She said, "Here I go!" and slid down again. She laughed and shouted, "Whee!"
+Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in their bedroom. They had many toys and books and games. One day, they found a big box in their closet. It was a gift from their grandma. They opened the box and saw a beautiful doll and a shiny car.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. "Grandma is so kind. She sent us mail."
+
+"I want the car!" Tom said. "You can have the doll."
+
+"No, I want the car too!" Lily said. "The doll is boring."
+
+They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The car broke in half. They both cried.
+
+"Look what you did!" Tom said. "You broke the car!"
+
+"It's your fault!" Lily said. "You were too rough!"
+
+They heard their mom coming upstairs. They were scared. They knew they were in trouble. They hid the broken car under the bed.
+
+Mom opened the door and saw the mess. She saw the doll and the box. She saw the note from grandma.
+
+"Hello, my dears. I hope you like your mail. I made the doll and the car for you. They are special. They have a secret. If you press the button on the doll's back, she will sing a song. If you press the button on the car's hood, it will light up and make sounds. I love you very much. Grandma."
+
+Mom smiled and picked up the doll. She pressed the button. The doll sang a sweet song. Mom looked at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Did you try the car?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt very bad. They knew they had ruined grandma's gift. They knew they had been selfish and mean. They wished they had been kind and shared. They wished they could say sorry to grandma. But it was too late. The car was broken. The secret was gone. They had no mail. They had no fun. They had only tears.
+Ben and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make races with their cars on the floor. Sometimes they make noise with their cars, like vroom, beep, or honk.
+
+One day, they decide to have a big race with all their cars. They line up their cars at one end of the room. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars to the other end. They run after their cars, cheering and shouting.
+
+But Ben's car is faster than Mia's car. He pushes it hard and it zooms ahead. He is happy and thinks he will win the race. He says, "I'm going to win, I'm going to win!"
+
+Mia is worried. She does not want to lose the race. She pushes her car harder, but it is not enough. She sees Ben's car getting closer to the finish line. She says, "No, no, no!"
+
+Then, something happens. Ben's car hits a book on the floor. It flips over and stops. Ben is surprised and sad. He says, "Oh, no, oh, no!"
+
+Mia's car keeps going. It passes Ben's car and reaches the finish line. Mia is happy and proud. She says, "I win, I win!"
+
+Ben and Mia look at each other. They are quiet for a moment. Then, they smile and hug. They say, "That was a fun race. Let's play again!" They pick up their cars and start a new race. They make noise with their cars, like vroom, beep, or honk.
+Lily liked to play with her doll. Her doll had a colorful dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush her doll's hair and make her dance. She named her doll Rose.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Rose with her. She put Rose in her backpack and got ready. Mom said, "Don't forget your coat, Lily. It's cold outside." Lily nodded and put on her coat.
+
+At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese, toys and books. She wanted to look at everything. She forgot about Rose in her backpack. She ran from one aisle to another, following mom.
+
+When they got to the checkout, mom paid for the things. She said, "Let's go, Lily. We have to hurry." Lily followed mom to the car. She got in and buckled her seatbelt. Mom started the car and drove away.
+
+Lily felt something was missing. She looked around. She saw her coat, her backpack, her shoes. But she did not see Rose. She gasped. She left Rose at the store! She felt sad and scared. She said, "Mom, mom, I left Rose at the store!" Mom looked at her in the mirror. She said, "What? You left your doll at the store?" Lily nodded and cried. Mom said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. We have to go back and get her. I hope she's still there."
+
+Mom turned the car around and drove back to the store. Lily hoped Rose was still there. She hoped no one took her. She hoped Rose was not lonely or afraid. She wanted to hug her and say sorry.
+
+They got to the store and ran inside. They went to the checkout where they paid. Lily looked for Rose. She saw her on the counter. She was still there! She smiled and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "Rose, Rose, I'm so sorry. I missed you. I love you." Rose did not say anything. She was a doll. But Lily felt she was happy too. She had a colorful dress and long hair. She was Lily's doll. Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you found her, Lily. Let's go home." Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom." She held Rose tight and got in the car. She did not forget her again.
+Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They had fun and shared the blocks well.
+
+One day, Tim found a big red block that was shiny and smooth. He liked it very much and wanted to keep it for himself. He hid it under his pillow and did not tell Lily. He thought he was mighty and smart.
+
+The next day, Lily came to play with Tim. They looked for the blocks, but they could not find the big red block. Lily was sad and asked Tim if he knew where it was. Tim lied and said he did not know. He felt guilty and scared.
+
+They played with the other blocks, but it was not the same. Tim could not enjoy the game. He kept thinking about the big red block under his pillow. He wanted to tell Lily the truth, but he was afraid she would be angry and not be his friend anymore.
+
+That night, Tim could not sleep. He felt bad and sorry. He decided to give the big red block back to Lily and say sorry. He got up and took the block from under his pillow. He went to Lily's house and knocked on her door.
+
+Lily opened the door and saw Tim holding the big red block. She was surprised and happy. Tim said, "Lily, I am sorry. I took the big red block and hid it. I was selfish and lied to you. I want to give it back to you and be your friend again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Tim. She said, "Tim, I forgive you. Thank you for being honest and brave. I am glad you are my friend. Let's share the big red block and play together."
+
+They went to Tim's house and played with the blocks. They made a mighty tower with the big red block on top. They had fun and shared the blocks well.

+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a sign that says "Sam and Ben's Club". They put the sign on a tree.

+
+"Spot, no!" Ben yells. "The street is dangerous. There are cars and trucks. You can get hurt."
+
+Spot does not listen. He does not see the car. The car does not see Spot. The car hits Spot. Spot falls to the ground. He drops the sign. He whimpers.
+
+Sam and Ben run to Spot. They are scared and sad. They hug Spot. They hope he is okay.
+
+The car stops. The driver gets out. He is sorry. He did not mean to hit Spot. He calls for help. He waits with Sam and Ben and Spot.

+The man looks at the note. He frowns. He shakes his head.
+
+"I'm sorry, children. This note is in a different language. I can't read it either," he says.
+
+"Oh, no. What language is it?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a secret code. Or maybe it's from a long time ago," the man says.
+
+"Wow. That's cool. Can we keep it?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, why not. Maybe you can find out more about it someday," the man says.

+Sara and Ben were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade.
+
+"Look, Sara, look!" Ben said. He pointed to a spot in the distance. "I see something green!"
+
+Sara looked where Ben pointed. She saw some trees and grass. She also saw a small lake. It was an oasis!
+
+"Let's go, Ben, let's go!" Sara said. She ran towards the oasis. Ben ran after her.
+
+They reached the oasis and drank some water. They felt much better. They saw some animals near the lake. There were some camels, some goats and some birds.

+"Hello, animals!" Sara said. She wanted to pet them.
+
+"Be careful, Sara," Ben said. "Some animals might not like it."
+
+Sara saw a camel with a colorful blanket on its back. She liked the blanket. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I touch your blanket, camel?" Sara asked. She walked towards the camel.
+
+The camel looked at Sara. It did not like strangers. It made a loud noise. It spit at Sara.
+
+Sara was surprised. She felt something wet and sticky on her face. She did not like it. She cried.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asked. He ran to Sara. He took a cloth from his bag. He attached it to Sara's face. He wiped the spit off.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben," Sara said. She stopped crying. She hugged Ben. "Thank you, Ben."
+
+"You're welcome, Sara," Ben said. He hugged Sara back. "Let's stay away from the camel. Let's find a nice spot under a tree."
+
+Sara and Ben found a nice spot under a tree. They lay down on the grass. They looked at the sky. They saw some clouds and some stars.
+
+They felt happy. They had found an oasis. They had each other. They fell asleep.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw and color on paper. One day, they found a big paper on their dad's desk. It had many words and numbers on it. They thought it was boring and wanted to make it pretty.
+
+"Let's draw on this paper," Tom said to Lily. "We can make flowers and cars and animals."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. Dad is in the other room and he does not like us to touch his things."
+
+They took some crayons and started to draw on the paper. They made a big mess. They did not see that their dad was coming back.
+
+Their dad saw the paper and was very angry. He shouted at them. "What have you done? This paper is very important. It is for my work. You ruined it!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They started to cry. They did not know what to do. They panicked.
+
+"I'm sorry, dad," Tom said. "We just wanted to make it pretty."
+
+"We did not mean to be bad," Lily said.
+
+Their dad sighed. He was still angry, but he also felt sorry for them. He hugged them and said, "I know you did not mean to be bad, but you have to learn to respect other people's things. You cannot just draw on any paper you find. Some papers are not for drawing. They are for other purposes. You have to ask before you touch something that is not yours."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry again. They learned their lesson. They decided to be more careful and not so nosy. They also helped their dad to clean the paper and find a new one. Their dad forgave them and gave them some paper that was for drawing. They thanked him and promised to be good. They drew on their own paper and had fun.
+Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. One day, their dad gave them a big surprise: two new kites, one blue and one pink. Ben and Lily were very happy and grateful. They thanked their dad and ran to the park with their kites.
+
+At the park, they saw a big hill with a lot of wind. They thought it was the perfect place to fly their kites. They climbed the hill and unwrapped their kites. Ben had the blue one and Lily had the pink one. They tied the strings to their wrists and threw their kites in the air.
+
+The kites soared high and danced in the wind. Ben and Lily laughed and cheered. They felt like they could touch the sky. They watched their kites with wonder and joy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A strong gust of wind snapped Ben's string and his kite flew away. Ben was very sad and scared. He cried and shouted, "My kite! My kite! Come back!"
+
+Lily saw her brother's tears and felt sorry for him. She ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. I have an idea. We can share my kite. You can hold the string for a while and then I can hold it. We can still have fun together."
+
+Ben looked at his sister and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and generous. I love you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Ben. And I believe we will find your kite someday. Maybe someone will see it and bring it back to us. Or maybe it will land somewhere safe and we can get it later. But for now, let's enjoy this kite and this day."
+
+They hugged again and then took turns flying Lily's kite. They forgot their sadness and had a lot of fun. They learned to be grateful for what they had and to share with each other. They also learned to believe in hope and in love.
+Sara and Tom were making a cake with Mom. They had to stir the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the milk in a big bowl. Sara liked to stir fast and hard. Tom liked to stir slow and soft.

+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Tom said. "We have to make the cake nice!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are both doing a great job. But be careful not to spill anything. We only have zero more eggs left."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and kept stirring. But Sara was too excited and stirred too fast. She spilled some of the batter on the floor. She felt nervous and said, "Oh no! I made a mess!"
+
+Tom saw what happened and said, "Don't worry, Sara. It's okay. We can clean it up together."
+
+He helped Sara wipe the floor with a cloth. Mom said, "Thank you, Tom. That was very kind of you. And thank you, Sara, for being honest. Accidents happen sometimes. The important thing is to try your best and help each other."
+
+Sara and Tom hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. And we love cake!"
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you, too. And I love cake, too! Let's put the bowl in the oven and wait for the cake to bake."
+
+They did that and soon the cake was ready. It smelled yummy and looked yummy. They cut a big slice for each of them and enjoyed it. They were happy and proud of their cake. They learned that stirring is fun, but also that being careful, honest and kind is even more fun.
+Tom and Ann were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of wool that they used to make things. One day, they decided to make a wool pool in their room. They took out all the wool and spread it on the floor. Then they jumped and rolled in the wool. It was soft and warm and fun.
+
+"Look, Ann, we made a wool pool!" Tom said. "Let's fill it with more wool!"
+
+"OK, Tom, let's fill it!" Ann said. They ran to the closet and took out more wool. They threw it in the air and watched it fall on the floor. They filled the room with wool until it was deep.
+
+They were so happy that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their cat sneaking into the room. They did not notice the wool getting tangled and messy.
+
+The cat saw the wool and thought it was a toy. It jumped and pounced and scratched and bit the wool. It made holes and knots and pulled the wool apart. It made a big mess.
+
+Tom and Ann heard a loud meow and turned around. They saw their cat in the middle of the wool pool. They saw the wool ruined and dirty. They saw their mom standing at the door with a angry face.
+
+"Tom and Ann, what have you done?" their mom said. "You made a huge mess with the wool! You wasted it and spoiled it! You did not listen to me when I called you! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Tom and Ann felt sad and sorry. They knew they had done a bad thing. They wished they had not filled the room with wool. They wished they had played with something else. They wished they had listened to their mom. They cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late. The wool pool was gone. The cat was mad. The mom was mad. The end.
+There was a prince who liked to have fun. He had a big castle and many toys. He had a horse and a sword and a crown. He did not have to do any work or listen to anyone. He was not careful with his things or his friends.
+
+One day, he wanted to have a race with his horse. He rode very fast and did not look where he was going. He saw a big lake and wanted to jump over it. He did not see the rocks and the mud. He tried to jump, but he fell into the water. His horse ran away and his sword and crown sank. He was wet and cold and hurt.
+
+He cried for help, but no one heard him. He was alone and scared. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had listened to his father and his teacher. He wished he had been nicer to his friends. He learned a hard lesson, but it was too late. He had no fun, no horse, no sword, no crown, and no friends. He was a sad prince. The end.

+
+One day, Anna and her mom went to the park. Anna brought Lily with her and put her on a bench while she went to play on the swings. She had a lot of fun, but she forgot about Lily. She did not see the big dog that came to the bench and sniffed Lily. The dog liked Lily's hair. It was soft and fluffy like wool. The dog grabbed Lily by the hair and ran away.
+
+Anna saw the dog and Lily and screamed. "Mommy, mommy, the dog took Lily!" she cried. She ran after the dog, but the dog was faster. Anna's mom heard her scream and followed her. She saw the dog and Lily and shouted. "Hey, stop, that's my daughter's doll!" she yelled.
+
+The dog heard the mom and stopped. It dropped Lily and ran away. Anna and her mom reached Lily and picked her up. Lily was dirty and her hair was torn. Anna hugged Lily and sobbed. "Lily, Lily, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said.
+
+Her mom hugged Anna and Lily and said. "It's okay, sweetie, it's okay. Lily is still your doll and she loves you. We can wash her and fix her hair. She will be fine." She kissed Anna and Lily and said. "Let's go home and make some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She was happy to have Lily back. She was not lonely anymore. She thanked her mom and said. "I love you, mommy. And I love Lily too." She kissed her mom and Lily and said. "Let's go home and make some cookies. That sounds good."
+Lila was a cow who lived on a big farm. She liked to eat hay every day. Hay was good for her and made her strong and happy. She had many friends on the farm, like pigs, chickens, and horses.
+
+One day, a man came to the farm. He wore a nice suit and a shiny watch. He said he was rich and wanted to buy some animals. He looked at Lila and said, "What a fine cow! I will take her to my house and feed her the best hay in the world."
+
+Lila was scared. She did not want to leave her friends and her home. She did not care about the best hay in the world. She liked the hay she had on the farm. She mooed loudly and tried to run away, but the man was too fast. He put a rope around her neck and dragged her to his car.

+Lila cried and cried. She did not like the car. It was noisy and bumpy and smelled bad. She missed her friends and her home. She wondered what would happen to her.
+
+The man drove for a long time. He finally stopped at a big house with a high fence. He took Lila out of the car and led her to a small barn. He said, "Here you go, my pretty cow. This is your new home. You will be happy here. Look at all this hay I bought for you. It is the best hay in the world. You will eat it and grow fat and rich like me."
+
+Lila looked at the hay. It was yellow and dry and dusty. It did not look good at all. It did not smell good either. It smelled like old socks and rotten eggs. Lila did not want to eat it. She wanted to eat the hay she had on the farm. It was green and fresh and sweet. It smelled like grass and flowers and sunshine.
+
+Lila was sad. She did not want to be fat and rich like the man. She wanted to be strong and happy like she was on the farm. She wanted to see her friends and her home again. She hoped someone would come and save her. She hoped someone would take her back to the farm. She hoped someone would give her the hay she liked.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they kicked and threw to each other. They were happy and had fun.
+
+One day, a witch came to the park. She was old and ugly and had a long nose and a black hat. She saw Tom and Lily and their ball and wanted to take it. She said, "Give me your ball, or I will turn you into frogs!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and ran away. But the witch was fast and followed them. She tried to grab their ball, but they held on tight. She teased them and said, "You are silly and weak, you can't keep your ball from me!"
+
+Tom and Lily were angry and brave. They said, "No, you are mean and bad, you can't have our ball!" They kicked the ball hard at the witch's face. The ball hit her nose and made her cry. She dropped her hat and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily picked up their ball and their hat. They put the hat on their head and laughed. They said, "We are smart and strong, we can keep our ball and our hat!" They went back to play in the park. They were happy and had fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, they saw something new. It was a big, red car with four seats and a steering wheel. It looked like fun.
+
+"Can we play with the car?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, let's go!" Ben said. They ran to the car and climbed inside. Anna took the driver's seat and Ben sat next to her. They pretended to drive around the park, making noises and honking the horn.
+
+But the car was very old and filthy. It had dirt, dust and spider webs all over it. The seats were torn and the paint was faded. Anna and Ben did not care. They were having too much fun.
+
+Soon, a man came to the park. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He had a toolbox and a bucket of water. He saw the car and smiled.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you like the car?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. It's fun!" Anna and Ben said.
+
+"I'm glad you do. I'm here to improve it. I'm going to clean it, fix it and paint it. Do you want to help me?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. They got out of the car and followed the man. He gave them a cloth and a sponge. They helped him wipe the dirt and dust from the car. They also helped him mend the seats and the steering wheel. They watched him paint the car with bright colors.
+
+The car looked new and shiny. Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked the man and got back in the car. They drove around the park again, feeling proud and excited.
+
+They had improved the car and made it beautiful. They had also made a new friend. They had a great day.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups and use the things they saw on the shelf. Ben found a shiny thing that looked like a comb. He wanted to try it on his hair.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a razor!" he said. "It can make my hair look nice."
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, that is not a comb. That is a hard thing that can hurt you. Mommy and Daddy use it to get rid of hair, not to make it nice. Put it back, please."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He thought Lily was just scared. He wanted to see what the razor could do. He lifted it to his head and ran it across his hair. He felt a sharp pain and saw some blood on his hand. He started to cry.
+
+Lily ran to him and saw what he had done. She felt sorry for him and scared. She hugged him and called for Mommy and Daddy. They came quickly and saw the mess. They were angry and worried. They took Ben to the doctor to get his cut fixed. They told him never to touch the razor again. Ben learned his lesson. He wished he had listened to Lily. He did not like the hard thing that hurt him. He liked his hair better before.
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They liked to play and run and laugh.
+
+Lily saw a small, green thing on a leaf. She went closer and saw it had many legs and a funny face. She asked her mom, "What is that?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a caterpillar. It is a kind of bug that eats leaves and grows bigger. One day, it will change into a butterfly."
+
+Lily thought the caterpillar was very pretty and wanted to touch it. She said, "Can I hold it, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "You can, but be gentle. Don't hurt it or squeeze it. It is very delicate."
+
+Lily nodded and reached out her hand. She picked up the caterpillar carefully and put it on her palm. She felt it tickle her skin and move its head. She smiled and said, "Hello, caterpillar. You are so soft and cute."
+
+Ben came over and saw the caterpillar. He said, "Can I see it, too?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, but you have to be gentle, too. It is my friend."
+
+She gave the caterpillar to Ben and he looked at it with wonder. He said, "Wow, it is amazing. How does it become a butterfly?"
+
+Their mom said, "It makes a cocoon around itself and sleeps for a long time. Then, it breaks out of the cocoon and has wings and colors. It is a miracle of nature."
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to see the miracle. They asked their mom, "Can we keep it and watch it change?"
+
+Their mom said, "No, we can't. It is not fair to the caterpillar. It belongs to the park and needs to be free. We can come back and visit it, but we have to let it go."
+
+Lily and Ben understood. They said goodbye to the caterpillar and put it back on the leaf. They thanked their mom for teaching them about it and hugged her. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love the caterpillar, too."
+
+The caterpillar was happy to be back on the leaf. It did not know that Lily and Ben had seen it. It did not know that it was special. It thought it was just an ordinary caterpillar. But it was not. It was a miracle.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. One day, they go to the park near a big building. The building is black and has many windows.
+
+"Look, Tom, the building is so big and black!" Mia says. "Do you think there are people inside?"
+
+"I don't know, Mia. Maybe they work there. Or maybe they live there. Do you want to go and see?" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, I don't want to go. It looks scary. Let's play catch here. I will throw the ball to you, and you catch it. OK?" Mia says.
+
+"OK, Mia. Let's play catch. You throw first." Tom says.
+
+Mia throws the ball to Tom. Tom tries to catch it, but he misses. The ball flies over his head and hits the black building. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Mia hear a voice from the building.
+
+"Hey, who threw that ball? Come here, now!" The voice says.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They look at each other. They run away from the black building. They don't want to get in trouble. They find another place to play catch. They are happy again.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big red truck near their house. They had never seen a truck like that before. They wanted to go closer and look at it.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go see the truck!" Tom said.
+
+"But what if the truck belongs to someone bad?" Lily asked. She was scared of strangers.
+
+"Don't be scared, Lily. I will protect you. And Spot is with us too. He will bark if someone comes." Tom said.
+
+They walked slowly towards the truck, holding hands. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. The truck was shiny and had many buttons and lights. Tom and Lily were curious. They touched the truck and looked inside.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Tom said. He saw a big horn on the steering wheel. He wanted to press it and make a loud noise.
+
+"Tom, don't touch that!" Lily said. She saw a sign on the truck that said "Danger". She did not know what it meant, but it looked scary.
+
+"Stop being a baby, Lily. It's just a horn. Watch this!" Tom said. He reached for the horn and pinched it hard.
+
+BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
+
+The horn made a very loud noise. Tom and Lily jumped back. Spot barked and ran away. The noise was so loud that it woke up the people in the village. They came out of their houses and saw the truck. They were angry and confused.
+
+"Who is making that noise?" "What is that truck doing here?" "Who are those kids?" They shouted.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran away from the truck and back to their house. They hid under their bed and hoped that no one would find them. They wished they had never seen the truck. They learned a lesson: never pinch a horn that says "Danger".
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up. Lily has a fancy dress and a crown. Ben has a cape and a sword. They want to have a party with their toys.
+
+But they need one more thing. They need a mask. A mask is something you put on your face to look different. Lily and Ben look in their toy box. They do not have a mask.
+
+"Can we borrow a mask from someone?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad," Ben says.
+
+They go to Mom and Dad's room. They see a mask on the dresser. It is shiny and colorful. It has feathers and beads. It is very fancy.
+
+"Wow, look at this mask!" Lily says.
+
+"Can we borrow it for our party?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom and Dad are not in the room. They are in the kitchen. Lily and Ben do not want to wait. They take the mask and run back to their room.
+
+They put on the mask and take turns. They pretend to be different animals and people. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then they hear Mom and Dad coming. They are angry.
+
+"Who took our mask?" Mom says.
+
+"It is our special mask for the carnival," Dad says.
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They did not ask to borrow the mask. They did not know it was special.
+
+They take off the mask and go to Mom and Dad. They say sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We just wanted to play dress-up. We did not know it was your special mask. Can we borrow it for our party?" Lily says.
+
+Mom and Dad look at Lily and Ben. They see their sad faces. They also see their fancy clothes. They remember how they liked to play dress-up when they were little.
+
+They smile and hug Lily and Ben.
+
+"It is okay, Lily and Ben. We forgive you. You can borrow our mask for your party. But you have to be careful with it. And you have to return it when you are done," Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom and Dad. We will be careful. And we will return it. Can you join our party?" Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad nod and smile.
+
+"Of course, we can join your party. We love dress-up too. Let's go to your room and have some fun," Dad says.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They have a mask, a party, and their Mom and Dad. They have everything they need.
+Lily liked to watch the motorcycles zoom by on the road. She thought they were fast and loud and cool. She wanted to ride one someday, but her mom said they were too dangerous for little girls.
+
+One day, she saw a motorcycle parked outside the store. It was shiny and red and had a big helmet on the seat. Lily ran over to touch it, but a man came out of the store and saw her.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked. He looked angry and scary.
+
+Lily was scared and ran back to her mom. She started to cry and tell her what happened.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You shouldn't touch things that don't belong to you. That's not nice or polite. The man was probably worried that you would hurt his motorcycle or yourself. Next time, you can ask him if you can look at it, but don't touch it without permission."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the motorcycle. It's so pretty and graceful. It looks like a bird flying."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I know, honey. Motorcycles are very graceful, but they are also very powerful and dangerous. You have to be careful and respectful around them. Maybe when you are older, you can learn how to ride one safely. But for now, you can enjoy watching them from a distance."
+
+Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for telling me. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go home and have some cookies."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, their dad takes them to a factory. He works there and makes big machines.
+
+"Look, Anna and Ben, this is where I work. Do you see those machines? They can do many things. They can cut, bend, and join metal. They can make parts for cars and trucks. They are very smart and fast," dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed. They see many machines with different shapes and colors. They hear loud noises and see sparks and smoke. They want to touch the machines, but dad says no.
+
+"Be careful, Anna and Ben. The machines are very hot and sharp. They can hurt you. You have to stay with me and follow the rules. Do you understand?" dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They do not want to get hurt. They want to be good and learn. They ask dad many questions. He answers them and shows them how the machines work.
+
+Dad is happy. He likes to teach Anna and Ben. He is proud of them. They are very curious and smart. He thinks they can be good workers or inventors when they grow up.
+
+He gives them each a hug and a sticker. The sticker has a picture of a machine and says "I visited the factory". Anna and Ben smile. They are happy. They like the factory and dad's work. They want to come back again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They can use blocks to make many things. They can make houses, cars, towers and more.
+
+One day, they have a task. Their teacher says they have to make something with blocks that can move. They have to show it to the class. Tom and Mia think hard. What can they make with blocks that can move?
+
+Tom has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's make a train. We can use blocks to make the engine and the cars. We can use wheels to make it move. We can use a string to connect them. Do you like my idea?"
+
+Mia likes Tom's idea. She says, "Yes, I like your idea. Let's make a train. We can use different colors to make it pretty. We can use stickers to make it fun. We can use our voices to make it sound. Do you like my idea?"
+
+Tom likes Mia's idea. He says, "Yes, I like your idea. Let's make a train. We can work together. We can have fun."
+
+Tom and Mia use blocks, wheels, string, colors, stickers and voices to make a train. They work hard. They help each other. They have fun.
+
+When they finish, they show their train to the class. The class likes their train. The teacher likes their train. The teacher says, "Tom and Mia, you did a great job. Your train is impressive. It is colorful, fun and sound. It can move. You used blocks very well. You were creative and cooperative. You completed your task. I am proud of you."
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They smile. They say, "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, class. We are happy. We like our train. We like to use blocks. We like to play together."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash plant that grew many squashes. They liked to pick the squashes and eat them for lunch.
+
+One day, they saw a big, yellow squash that was bigger than their heads. They both wanted to have it. They ran to the squash and pulled on it.
+
+"Let go! It's mine!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily shouted back.
+
+They pulled and pulled, but the squash did not come off. They started to frown and cry.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw them fighting over the squash.
+
+"What's going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Mom, we both want this squash, but it won't come off!" Ben said.
+
+"Mom, can you help us get it?" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you share the squash? It's big enough for both of you. You can cut it in half and make two pies. That way, you can both enjoy it."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They thought about Mom's idea. They nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We will share the squash. That's a good idea."
+
+Mom helped them cut the squash and bring it to the kitchen. They washed their hands and helped Mom make the pies. They put some sugar and cinnamon and butter on the squash. They rolled out the dough and put it on top. They put the pies in the oven and waited.
+
+Soon, the pies were ready. They smelled so good. Ben and Lily took them out of the oven and let them cool. They cut two slices for each of them and put some whipped cream on top. They sat at the table and ate their pies.
+
+"Mmm, this is delicious!" Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for helping us!" Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm proud of you for being generous and sharing. That's what makes a good squash pie."
+Ben and Mia were going on a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They had their own small bags with toys and books. Mom and Dad had big bags with clothes and other things.
+
+They got to the airport and waited in a long line. Ben and Mia were bored and impatient. They wanted to see the plane and fly in the sky. They started to run around and play tag. Mom and Dad told them to stay close and be careful.
+
+"Ben, Mia, come here. We have to give our bags to the man," Dad said.
+
+Ben and Mia ran back to Mom and Dad. They gave their small bags to the man. The man put them on a big belt. The belt moved and took the bags away.
+
+"Where are our bags going?" Mia asked.
+
+"They are going to the plane. We will get them back when we land," Mom said.
+
+"Can we go to the plane now?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not yet. We have to go through security and find our gate," Dad said.
+
+They followed the signs and went through security. They had to take off their shoes and jackets and put them in a bin. A lady checked their tickets and passports. A machine beeped and scanned their bodies. They got their shoes and jackets back and put them on.
+
+They walked and walked until they found their gate. They saw the big plane outside the window. They were happy and excited again.
+
+"Look, there is our plane!" Mia said.
+
+"Can we go on it now?" Ben asked.
+
+"Soon. We have to wait for our turn," Mom said.
+
+They sat on some chairs and waited. They heard an announcement.
+
+"Attention, passengers of flight 123 to London. We are sorry to inform you that there is a delay due to a problem with the luggage. We will update you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
+
+Mom and Dad looked worried and annoyed. Ben and Mia looked confused and sad.
+
+"What does delay mean?" Mia asked.
+
+"It means we have to wait longer," Mom said.
+
+"What is the problem with the luggage?" Ben asked.
+
+"We don't know. Maybe they lost some bags or they are too heavy or they are mixed up," Dad said.
+
+"Did they lose our bags?" Mia asked.
+
+"I hope not. But don't worry. We have our tickets and passports and some snacks. We will get to London eventually," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia were not happy and excited anymore. They were bored and impatient again. They hoped their bags were not lost. They hoped the problem would be fixed soon. They hoped they could go on the plane and fly in the sky.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different animals. Tim had a big truck that he drove around the carpet. Lily had a doll that she dressed up and hugged.
+
+"Can I play with your truck, Tim?" Lily asked. She liked the truck because it was shiny and had big wheels.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit," Tim said. He was generous and liked to share with his sister. He gave her the truck and took the doll.
+
+They played for a while, but then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who was making a snack for them.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's time for a snack!" Mom called. She had made some sandwiches and cut some fruit for them.
+
+Tim and Lily ran to the kitchen, leaving their toys on the floor. They were hungry and excited to see what Mom had made.
+
+But when they came back to the living room, they saw something strange. Their toys had shrunk! The truck was now as small as a coin, and the doll was as tiny as a button.
+
+"What happened to our toys?" Tim cried. He was sad and confused.
+
+"I don't know, maybe a fairy came and made them smaller," Lily guessed. She was curious and amazed.
+
+They picked up their toys and looked at them closely. They were still the same, but very small.
+
+"Maybe we can make them big again," Tim said. He had an idea.
+
+"How?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe if we wish really hard and say please," Tim said.
+
+They closed their eyes and held their toys in their hands. They wished really hard and said please.
+
+"Please, please, make our toys big again," they said together.
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at their toys. They were big again!
+
+"Yay, it worked!" Tim cheered. He was happy and relieved.
+
+"Wow, that was magic!" Lily exclaimed. She was surprised and delighted.
+
+They hugged their toys and each other. They were glad that their toys were back to normal.
+
+They decided to put their toys away and go back to the kitchen. They thanked Mom for the snack and ate it with big smiles. They had a very interesting and fun day.
+Ben and Lily 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 soak each other.
+
+One day, they find a big envelope in the mail. It has their names on it. They open it and see a card. It is from their grandma. She says she loves them and misses them. She also sends them some stickers and a fair ticket.
+
+Ben and Lily are very happy. They want to thank their grandma. They get some paper and crayons. They draw pictures of themselves and the tub. They write "We love you, Grandma" and "Thank you for the fair ticket".
+
+They put their pictures in the envelope. They seal it with a sticker. They run to the mail box. They want to send it to their grandma.
+
+But on the way, they pass by the tub. They see the water sparkling in the sun. They want to play some more. They forget about the envelope. They drop it on the grass. They jump in the tub. They splash and laugh and soak each other.
+
+The envelope gets wet. The paper gets soggy. The crayons get smudged. The sticker falls off. The fair ticket gets ruined.
+
+Ben and Lily do not notice. They have fun in the water. They do not see the envelope on the grass. They do not know they made a big mistake.
+Mia likes to number her toys. She has a lot of toys, but she knows where each one is. She puts them in boxes and bags with numbers on them. She is very organized.
+
+One day, her sister Zoe comes to play with her. Zoe is younger than Mia and does not like to number things. She likes to make a mess. She takes out Mia's toys and throws them around the room. She does not care about the numbers.
+
+Mia gets very angry. She says to Zoe, "Stop it! You are ruining my toys! You have to put them back in the right places! Look at the numbers!"
+
+Zoe does not listen. She says, "No! I don't like numbers! I like to have fun! You are boring!"
+
+Mia and Zoe start to fight. They pull and push each other. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the fighting. She is not happy. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why are the toys everywhere?"
+
+Mia and Zoe stop fighting. They look at their mom. They are scared. They know they are in trouble. They wish they had played nicely.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with black fur and a long tail. The dog was running and barking. Lily and Tom liked dogs, but they were a little scared of this one.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is Spike," a voice said. "He is my dog. He is very friendly. Do you want to say hello?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked up and saw a boy with brown hair and a blue shirt. He was holding a leash. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hi, I am Ben. What are your names?" he said.
+
+"I am Lily and this is Tom. We are twins. We like dogs, but Spike is very big," Lily said.
+
+"Don't worry, Spike is not mean. He is just hungry. He likes to play and chase things. Do you want to play with us?" Ben said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They liked to make new friends. Ben let go of the leash and Spike ran to them. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. Lily and Tom laughed and petted him.
+
+"See, he is nice. He likes you. You are his new friends," Ben said.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They played with Ben and Spike for a long time. They threw a ball and Spike fetched it. They ran and Spike chased them. They had fun.
+
+Lily and Tom introduced Ben and Spike to their mom. She was glad they had met new friends. She gave them some cookies and water. She gave Spike a bone. He wagged his tail and ate it.
+
+"Thank you for the bone. It is very yummy," Spike said.
+
+"You are welcome, Spike. You are a good dog," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Ben and Spike. They said goodbye and promised to play again soon. They went home with mom. They were tired but happy. They had a good day.
+Sara and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They got in the car and Mom said, "Buckle up, please." Sara and Ben knew how to buckle their seat belts. They clicked the buckle and pulled the strap. They were ready to go.
+
+On the way, they saw a big truck. It was loud and dirty. Ben liked the truck. He said, "Look, Sara, a truck!" Sara did not like the truck. She said, "No, Ben, a truck is scary. I like flowers." Ben said, "No, Sara, flowers are boring. I like trucks." They started to argue.
+
+Mom heard them and said, "Sara, Ben, mind your manners. Don't yell at each other. You can like different things. That's okay. But you have to be gentle and kind to each other. Do you understand?" Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben." They gave each other a hug.
+
+They arrived at the park. They unbuckled their seat belts and got out of the car. They ran to the swings and the slide. They had fun. They saw some flowers and some trucks. They pointed them out to each other. They said, "Look, Sara, a flower. Look, Ben, a truck." They smiled and said, "That's nice." They were gentle and kind to each other. Mom was happy.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big hill with snow on it. They want to slide down the hill on their sled.
+
+"Come on, Spot, let's go!" Lily says. She runs to the hill with the sled. Tom follows her with a smile.
+
+They take turns sliding down the hill. They laugh and shout as they go fast. Spot barks and chases them. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, the sky gets dark and the wind blows. It starts to snow harder. The snowflakes are cold and wet on their faces.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to hurry!" Tom says. He feels his body shiver. "Mommy said we have to be home before it gets dark."
+
+"OK, let's go!" Lily says. She grabs the sled and Spot. They run to the park gate. But the gate is locked.
+
+"Oh no, how do we get out?" Lily asks. She feels scared. She sees a man on the other side of the gate. He has a big coat and a hat. He looks angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids, what are you doing here?" the man yells. He has a bitter voice. "This park is closed. You have to leave now!"
+
+"Please, mister, can you open the gate?" Tom asks. He tries to be polite. "We have to go home. It's cold and dark."
+
+The man grumbles and walks to the gate. He unlocks it and opens it. He glares at the twins and their dog.
+
+"Next time, follow the rules!" he says. He slams the gate behind them.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Tom say. They don't like the man, but they are happy to be free. They run to their home with the sled and Spot. They hope Mommy will make them some hot chocolate. They don't want to go back to the park until it is sunny again.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide that looked fun, but also scary.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Ben said. He had a good idea. He wanted to try something new and exciting.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. It's too high. I'm nervous." Lily said. She had a bad feeling. She wanted to stay safe and comfortable.
+
+"Come on, Lily. It's not that bad. Trust me. It will be fun." Ben said. He tried to make Lily feel better. He wanted to share his idea with her.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I'll try. But you go first." Lily said. She decided to be brave. She wanted to be a good friend to Ben.
+
+Ben nodded and climbed up the ladder. He reached the top and sat on the slide. He looked down and smiled. He was ready to go. He pushed himself and slid down fast. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted. He had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily watched Ben and felt happy for him. She also felt curious. She wanted to know how it felt to slide down. She followed Ben and climbed up the ladder. She reached the top and sat on the slide. She looked down and felt nervous. She was scared to go. She hesitated and held on to the sides.
+
+"Come on, Lily. You can do it. I'm here for you." Ben said. He waited for Lily at the bottom. He cheered her on. He was a good friend to Lily.
+
+Lily heard Ben and felt grateful. She also felt courageous. She wanted to overcome her fear. She let go of the sides and slid down slowly. She felt the slide under her and the air around her. She smiled and squealed. She had a little fun.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged each other and laughed. They were proud of themselves and each other. They learned something new and had a good time. They thanked their moms and went to play some more.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sometimes it's good to try new things, even if they seem scary. You might discover something fun and learn something about yourself. You can also help and support your friends who are nervous or afraid. Friendship and courage can make you happy.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a new path in the park. It is narrow and twisty. It goes into the woods.
+
+"Let's go, Spot!" Lila says. "Maybe we can find something fun on the new path."
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben says. "The woods are wild. There might be animals or thorns or mud."
+
+They follow the new path into the woods. Spot runs ahead of them, sniffing and barking. Lila and Ben see flowers and birds and bugs. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud roar. It sounds like a big, angry animal. They see Spot running back to them, with his tail between his legs.
+
+"Spot, what is it?" Lila asks.
+
+"Roar!" Spot says.
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They don't want to meet the big, angry animal. They turn around and hurry back to the park. They run as fast as they can on the new path.
+
+They reach the park and see their mom waiting for them. She is happy to see them.
+
+"Mom, we heard a roar in the woods!" Lila says.
+
+"Roar!" Spot says.
+
+"Really? What kind of animal was it?" Mom asks.
+
+"We don't know. We didn't see it. We hurried back," Ben says.
+
+"Good. The woods are wild. You have to be careful on the new path. Next time, stay close to me," Mom says.
+
+She hugs them and Spot. They are safe and happy. They go home and have a snack. They tell their dad about their adventure on the new path.
+Tom and Mia were playing knights and dragons in the garden. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a castle. Tom was the knight and Mia was the dragon. Tom had a wooden sword and a pot lid for a shield. Mia had a green scarf and a paper cone for a tail and a horn.
+
+"Roar!" Mia said, jumping out from behind a bush. "I am the dragon and I will burn your castle!"
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said, holding his sword and shield. "You are a scary dragon, but I am a brave knight and I will protect my castle!"
+
+They ran around the garden, chasing and dodging each other. Mia tried to catch Tom with her scarf and cone, and Tom tried to hit Mia with his sword and shield. They made a lot of noise and had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard a voice from the house. It was Mom.
+
+"Tom, Mia, time for lunch!" Mom said. "Come inside and wash your hands!"
+
+Tom and Mia stopped playing and looked at each other. They were hungry and they liked lunch, but they also liked playing knights and dragons.
+
+"Can we play more after lunch?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Mia said. "But I have an idea. Let's pretend that we are friends now, and we share the castle. Then we don't have to fight anymore."
+
+"OK, that sounds good," Tom said. "But you have to surrender first, because I am the knight and you are the dragon."
+
+"OK, OK, I surrender," Mia said, dropping her scarf and cone. "But you have to let me in the castle, because I am cold and tired."
+
+"OK, OK, I will let you in the castle," Tom said, putting down his sword and shield. "But you have to promise not to burn it, because I worked hard to make it."
+
+"OK, OK, I promise not to burn it," Mia said, smiling. "But you have to promise to share your lunch with me, because I am hungry and thirsty."
+
+"OK, OK, I promise to share my lunch with you," Tom said, smiling back. "But you have to hurry, because Mom is waiting for us."
+
+They ran inside, holding hands, and left their castle in the garden. They were not scared of each other anymore. They were friends.
+Tom and Lily love to go to the zoo. They like to see the big animals and the small animals. They like to hear the noises they make and smell the food they eat. They always have fun at the zoo.
+
+One day, they go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They see the lions and the monkeys and the giraffes. They see the birds and the snakes and the turtles. They see the bears and the penguins and the elephants. They are very happy.
+
+But Tom and Lily have a favorite animal. They love the zebras. They think the zebras are cool. They like their black and white stripes and their long tails. They like how they run fast and play with each other. They want to see the zebras more than anything.
+
+They ask their mom and dad to take them to the zebra house. Their mom and dad say yes. They say they have a surprise for them. They say they will see something very special. Tom and Lily are excited. They wonder what the surprise is.
+
+They race to the zebra house. They run as fast as they can. They pass the other animals and the other people. They do not stop until they get to the zebra house. They look for the zebras. They see them in a big field. They see something else too.
+
+They see a baby zebra. A tiny zebra with black and white stripes and a long tail. A zebra that is running and playing with its mom and dad. A zebra that is cute and cool. Tom and Lily are amazed. They say wow. They say look. They say aww.
+
+Their mom and dad smile. They say this is the surprise. They say this is the new zebra. They say it was born yesterday. They say they are lucky to see it. Tom and Lily are happy. They say thank you. They say they love the zoo. They say they love the zebras. They say they love their mom and dad. They hug them and kiss them. They watch the baby zebra. They have the best day ever.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big maze with many walls and paths. They want to try it.
+
+"Let's go in the maze," Lila says. "It looks fun."
+
+"OK," Ben agrees. "But we have to stay together. We don't want to get lost."
+
+They enter the maze and start to walk. They turn left and right and go up and down. They see many flowers and birds. They are happy.
+
+But after a while, they cannot find the exit. They are tired and hungry. They start to worry.
+
+"Where is the exit?" Lila asks. "I want to go out."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But I don't know where it is."
+
+They look around and see a sign. It has a picture of an arrow and a word. The word is "exit".
+
+"Look, Lila," Ben says. "The sign says exit. It shows us the way out."
+
+"Good," Lila says. "Let's follow the sign."
+
+They follow the sign and walk some more. They see a gate. It is the exit. They are happy.
+
+They go out of the gate and see their mom and dad. They are waiting for them.
+
+"Hi, Lila and Ben," mom says. "Did you have fun in the maze?"
+
+"Yes, mom," Lila says. "But we got lost for a bit. We had to find the exit."
+
+"Wow, you are very brave," dad says. "How did you find the exit?"
+
+"Ben saw a sign," Lila says. "It said exit and had an arrow. He suggested we follow it."
+
+"That was very smart, Ben," mom says. "You helped Lila and yourself."
+
+"Thanks, mom," Ben says. "But I was scared too. I'm glad we found the exit."
+
+Mom and dad hug Lila and Ben. They are proud of them.
+
+"Let's go home now," mom says. "We have some snacks for you."
+
+"OK," Lila and Ben say. "We are hungry."
+
+They walk to the car. They are fit and happy. They learned a new word: exit.
+Anna likes to bathe with her toys. She has a duck, a frog, a boat and a cup. She fills the cup with water and pours it on the duck. The duck says quack quack. She fills the cup with water and pours it on the frog. The frog says ribbit ribbit. She fills the cup with water and pours it on the boat. The boat says vroom vroom. She has fun with her toys.
+
+But then, she sees something on the wall. It is a handle. She wonders what it does. She reaches for the handle and turns it. The water gets very hot. Anna says ouch ouch. She turns the handle the other way. The water gets very cold. Anna says brrr brrr. She does not like the handle. She wants the water to be just right.
+
+She calls for her mom. Mom comes and helps her. She turns the handle to make the water warm. She says sorry Anna, the handle is tricky. She says be careful with the handle. She says it is time to get out of the bath. She wraps Anna in a towel and dries her. She puts on her pajamas and brushes her hair. She says you are a good girl, Anna. She says you are sleepy, Anna.
+
+She takes Anna to her bed. She tucks her in and kisses her. She gives her a teddy bear and a book. She reads her a story. She says good night, Anna. She says sweet dreams, Anna. She turns off the light and leaves the room. Anna hugs her teddy bear and closes her eyes. She is sleepy. She falls asleep.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to swing on the swings. They take turns and push each other.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big sign. The sign says "Swings are broken. Do not use." Lily and Ben are frustrated. They want to swing.
+
+"Mom, why are the swings broken?" Lily asks.
+
+"Someone broke them. They were not careful. They need to fix them." Mom says.
+
+"Can we swing on something else?" Ben asks.
+
+"Let's see. Maybe we can find something else." Mom says.
+
+They look around the park. They see a slide, a seesaw, a sandbox and a bench. They try to swing on them, but it is not the same. They do not have fun.
+
+They are hungry. They go to the picnic table. Their moms have rice and chicken for them. They eat and drink. They feel better.
+
+"Maybe tomorrow the swings will be fixed." Lily says.
+
+"Maybe. I hope so. I like to swing with you." Ben says.
+
+They smile and hug. They are still friends. They are not frustrated anymore.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys. They have a big box of buttons. They like to make patterns and pictures with the buttons. They have red buttons, blue buttons, green buttons and yellow buttons.
+
+Tom is hungry. He sees a yellow button. He thinks it looks like a banana. He picks up the button and puts it in his mouth. He tries to eat the button. But the button is hard and yucky. He spits out the button. He makes a face. He says, "Blech! This is not a banana. This is a button."
+
+Lily hears Tom. She looks at him. She sees the button on the floor. She sees the spit on Tom's mouth. She says, "Tom, you are silly. You can't eat buttons. Buttons are for playing, not for eating. You are messy. You need a napkin."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was hungry. I thought it was a banana. I won't eat buttons again. Can I have a napkin, please?"
+
+Lily gives Tom a napkin. She helps him wipe his mouth. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, if you are hungry, ask Mommy for a snack. She has real bananas in the kitchen. They are soft and yummy. They are good for eating."
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you. Can we play with the buttons again?"
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, we can. But let's be careful. We don't want to lose any buttons. They are pretty and fun. They are good for playing."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they want to travel to new places.
+
+One day, they have an idea. They take a big curtain from the closet. They put it on the floor. They pretend it is a magic carpet. They sit on the curtain and hold hands.
+
+"Where do you want to go?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I want to go to the zoo," Ben says. "I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants."
+
+"Okay, let's go to the zoo," Anna says. "Close your eyes and say the magic word."
+
+They close their eyes and say together, "Zoo!"
+
+They feel the curtain move under them. They hear animal sounds. They smell grass and flowers. They open their eyes and see the zoo. They are so happy. They jump off the curtain and run to the animals.
+
+They see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. They feed them and pet them and talk to them. They have a lot of fun.
+
+"You are so clever, Anna," Ben says. "You made the best magic carpet ever."
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Anna says. "You are clever too. You picked the best place to travel."
+
+They hug each other and smile. They love to travel with their magic curtain. They wonder where they will go next.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom says they are good helpers. Today, Mom is making a cake. Sara and Tom want to see the cake.
+
+"Can we see the cake, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. The cake is in the oven. It is very hot. You have to wait until it is done," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They want to see the cake now. They look around the kitchen. They see the dishwasher. The dishwasher is big and white. It has a door.
+
+"Let's open the dishwasher, Tom," Sara says.
+
+"OK, Sara. Maybe we can find something fun inside," Tom says.
+
+They go to the dishwasher. They pull the door. The door is heavy. They use both hands. They open the dishwasher. They see many plates and cups and spoons. They are shiny and wet.
+
+"Wow, look at all the things, Sara," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom. They are pretty. Can we play with them?" Sara says.
+
+They reach for the plates and cups and spoons. They want to take them out. They do not know that the dishwasher is not finished. They do not know that the things are still dirty.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom says. She sees Sara and Tom. She runs to the dishwasher. She is not happy. She is angry.
+
+"No, no, no! You cannot play with the things in the dishwasher. They are not clean. They are dirty. You will make a mess. You will break them. You will hurt yourself. Put them back. Put them back now!" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They drop the plates and cups and spoons. They hear a loud noise. They see the things fall and break. They see water and soap and dirt. They see Mom's face. She is very angry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to see the cake," Sara and Tom say.
+
+Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is tired. She loves Sara and Tom. She knows they are curious. She knows they are friendly. She hugs them.
+
+"It's OK, Sara and Tom. I know you are sorry. I know you are good helpers. But you have to listen to me. You have to be careful. The dishwasher is not a toy. The things in the dishwasher are not for playing. They are for eating. The cake is for eating too. And guess what? The cake is done. Do you want to see the cake?" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They smile. They are happy. They want to see the cake. They follow Mom to the oven. Mom opens the oven. She takes out the cake. The cake is big and round. It is brown and yellow. It smells good. It has candles on it.
+
+"Look, Sara and Tom. The cake is for you. It is your birthday. Happy birthday, Sara and Tom!" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom clap. They cheer. They are surprised. They are excited. They forget about the dishwasher. They forget about the mess. They only see the cake. They only see Mom. They love the cake. They love Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. Thank you for the cake. We love you, Mom. You are the best, Mom," Sara and Tom say.
+
+They hug Mom. They blow the candles. They cut the cake. They eat the cake. They are happy. Mom is happy. The dishwasher is not happy. But no one cares. The end.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big blue rope on the ground. Tom wants to fold the rope and make a snake. Mia wants to swing the rope and make a circle.
+
+"Let me fold the rope, Mia. I can make a snake. Look, it has a head and a tail." Tom says.
+
+"No, let me swing the rope, Tom. I can make a circle. Look, it is round and big." Mia says.
+
+They pull the rope and fight. The rope gets tangled and twisted. They cannot fold it or swing it anymore.
+
+They are sad and angry. They sit on the grass and do not talk.
+
+A dog comes to the park. He sees the rope. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the rope and bites it. He shakes it and wags his tail. He is happy and playful.
+
+Tom and Mia see the dog. They laugh and smile. They forget their fight. They go to the dog and pet him. They share the rope with him. They play together.
+
+The end.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a big tree with many branches. She liked to climb the branches and swing from them. She felt happy and free.
+
+One day, she saw a new branch on the tree. It was very thin and long. It looked like a snake. Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the branch and see what it was. She climbed the tree and reached for the branch.
+
+But the branch was not a branch. It was a vine. It was growing on the tree and taking its water and food. The vine was not happy to see Lily. It wrapped around her arm and pulled her. Lily was scared and screamed.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and ran to the garden. She saw Lily and the vine. She grabbed a scissors and cut the vine. She freed Lily and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, my love. You are safe now. That was a bad vine. It was hurting the tree and you. We have to get rid of it."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry. I thought it was a branch. I won't touch it again." She looked at the tree and said, "I'm sorry, tree. I hope you grow strong and healthy." She gave the tree a kiss and went inside with her mom.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big carrot. She was very happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a carrot!" she said, holding it up.
+
+"Wow, that is a beautiful carrot!" Tom said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lily gave him the carrot. He looked at it closely. He saw a little hole in it. He put his finger in the hole. Something bit him.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. "Something is in the carrot!"
+
+He dropped the carrot. A small mouse came out of the hole. It ran away.
+
+"Bad mouse!" Lily said. "It hurt you!"
+
+She hugged Tom. She picked up the carrot. She saw another hole in it.
+
+"Maybe there is another mouse in this hole," she said.
+
+She put the carrot near her ear. She heard a squeak.
+
+"Hello, mouse," she said. "Do you live in the carrot?"
+
+The mouse did not answer. It was scared.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the mouse. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Tom, let's take the carrot and the mouse to our house," she said. "We can give them some cheese and water."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad don't like mice."
+
+They took the carrot and the mouse to their house. They put them in a shoe box. They gave them some cheese and water. They made a hole in the lid. They shut the lid.
+
+They were happy. They had a new pet. They named it Carrot.
+Lily and Ben were playing dress-up in the attic. They found a big box full of old clothes and accessories. Lily put on a fancy dress with flowers and sparkles. Ben put on a hat and a coat with a buckle.
+
+"Look at me, I'm a princess!" Lily said, twirling around.
+
+"And I'm a detective!" Ben said, pretending to look for clues.
+
+They heard a noise from behind a curtain. They walked over and pulled it aside. They revealed a big mirror with a gold frame.
+
+"Wow!" they both said, looking at their reflections.
+
+They saw how fancy they looked in the old clothes. They also saw something else. Behind them, there was a small door with a sign that said "Secret".
+
+"What's that?" Lily asked, pointing at the door.
+
+"Let's find out!" Ben said, opening the door.
+
+They went inside and saw a lot of toys and books. They were very old and dusty, but they looked fun.
+
+"Maybe these belonged to Grandma and Grandpa when they were little!" Lily said, picking up a doll.
+
+"Or maybe they are a mystery!" Ben said, grabbing a magnifying glass.
+
+They decided to play with the old toys and books. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the time. They felt like they had found a treasure.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Ben found a big green stick of celery in the fridge. He thought it looked funny.
+
+"Look, Lily, a green stick!" he said, holding it up.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"It is celery. Mommy likes to eat it. She says it is good for you," Ben said.
+
+"Can we eat it too?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Maybe. Let's try," Ben said. He broke the celery in half and gave one piece to Lily. They both took a bite.
+
+"Yuck!" they both said, making faces. The celery was hard and bitter. They did not like it at all.
+
+They spit out the celery and threw it in the trash. They looked for something else to eat. They saw a jar of peanut butter on the counter.
+
+"Peanut butter! That is yummy!" Lily said, excited.
+
+"Yes, let's have some," Ben agreed. He got a spoon and opened the jar. He scooped out some peanut butter and put it in his mouth.
+
+"Mmm!" he said, smiling.
+
+Lily wanted some too. She reached for the spoon. But Ben did not want to share. He pulled the spoon away from her.
+
+"No, it is mine!" he said, greedy.
+
+"Hey, that is not nice! Share with me!" Lily said, angry.
+
+They started to fight over the spoon. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not speak nicely to each other.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the fight. She was worried.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked, stern.
+
+Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at Mommy. They felt bad.
+
+"We were playing chefs, but we did not like the celery, and then we wanted the peanut butter, but Ben did not share, and then we fought," Lily said, sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mommy," Ben said, sorry too.
+
+Mommy sighed. She was not happy.
+
+"Playing chefs is fun, but you have to be careful with the food. Celery is not a toy, it is a vegetable. And peanut butter is not a snack, it is a spread. You have to eat it with bread or crackers. And you have to share with your sister. Sharing is caring. Do you understand?" she said, serious.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They understood.
+
+"We understand, Mommy. We are sorry. We will share and be careful," they said, sincere.
+
+Mommy smiled. She was glad.
+
+"That is good. I forgive you. Now, how about we make some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches together? And maybe some carrot sticks too. They are crunchy and sweet, like celery, but better. Do you want that?" she said, kind.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled too. They were happy.
+
+"Yes, please, Mommy. We want that. Thank you, Mommy. We love you, Mommy," they said, sweet.
+
+They hugged Mommy and helped her make the sandwiches and the carrot sticks. They ate them with their toys and enjoyed them. They spoke nicely to each other and to Mommy. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They were good.
+Timmy was a small dog who lived with his owner, Anna. Anna loved Timmy very much and gave him food, water, toys and hugs. Timmy loved Anna too and followed her everywhere. He liked to play with her in the park, sleep on her bed and watch TV with her.
+
+One day, Anna had to go to work and left Timmy at home. She said, "Be a good boy, Timmy. I'll be back soon. Don't go outside, it's very cold today." She kissed Timmy and closed the door. Timmy felt sad and lonely. He wanted to see Anna again. He looked out the window and saw the snow falling. He wondered what it was like to touch the snow.
+
+Timmy saw a small hole in the fence. He thought, maybe I can go outside for a little bit. Maybe I can find some friends to play with. Maybe I can see Anna on the street. He squeezed through the hole and ran into the snow. He felt the cold on his paws and nose. He felt the wet on his fur. He thought, this is fun!
+
+Timmy ran and jumped and rolled in the snow. He saw some birds and squirrels and chased them. He saw some children and barked at them. He saw some cars and dodged them. He thought, this is exciting!
+
+But soon, Timmy started to feel tired and hungry and cold. He thought, where is Anna? When will she come back? He looked for the hole in the fence, but he couldn't find it. He looked for his house, but he couldn't see it. He looked for someone to help him, but he couldn't hear anyone. He felt scared and lost. He shivered and whimpered in the snow. He thought, this is bad!
+
+Then, he heard a familiar voice. He heard Anna calling his name. He heard Anna saying, "Timmy, where are you? Timmy, come here!" He lifted his head and saw Anna running towards him. He wagged his tail and ran to her. He felt her arms around him. He felt her warmth and love. He thought, this is good!
+
+Anna hugged Timmy and said, "Timmy, you naughty boy! How did you get out? You could have been hurt or frozen! Don't ever do that again!" She carried him to her car and wrapped him in a blanket. She drove him home and gave him food and water and a bath. She dried him and cuddled him on the couch. She said, "Timmy, I'm sorry I left you alone. I missed you so much. You're my best friend. I love you." She kissed him and stroked him. He licked her and snuggled with her. He felt happy and safe. He thought, this is home!
+
+Timmy was a sleepy dog who lived with his owner, Anna. Anna loved Timmy very much and gave him food, water, toys and hugs. Timmy loved Anna too and followed her everywhere. He liked to play with her in the park, sleep on her bed and watch TV with her. He never wanted to go outside in the snow again. He learned his lesson. He was a good boy.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with boats. They had a big boat that they made from a box and some sticks. They wanted to sail their boat on the water, but there was no water near their house. They only had a street with cars and bikes.
+
+One day, they had an idea. They put their boat on a wagon and pulled it to the street. They waited for the cars and bikes to go away, and then they put their boat on the street. They climbed inside and pretended to sail. They waved to the people who walked by and shouted "Ahoy!"
+
+But they did not see the big truck that was coming fast. The truck driver did not see them either. He was looking at his phone and did not hear their shouts. He hit their boat with a loud crash. The boat broke into pieces and Tom and Sam flew out. They were hurt very badly and they cried a lot.
+
+Some people ran to help them and called for an ambulance. The truck driver got out and said he was sorry, but it was too late. Tom and Sam had to go to the hospital and they could not play with boats anymore. They learned that the street was a dangerous place to sail.
+Jill and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found some flour, sugar, eggs and milk. They put them in a big bowl. Tom said, "I will stir the cake. You watch me." He took a big spoon and stirred the bowl.
+
+Jill saw a symbol on the spoon. It was a red circle with a line across it. She did not know what it meant. She said, "Tom, what is that symbol on the spoon?" Tom looked at the spoon. He did not know either. He said, "Maybe it is a funny picture. It does not matter. Let's keep stirring."
+
+But the symbol was not a funny picture. It was a warning. The spoon was not for stirring. It was for cleaning. It had a strong soap on it. The soap made the cake mix bad. It made bubbles and foam. It smelled bad. It made Jill and Tom sick.
+
+Mom came home and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the bowl with the bad cake mix. She saw the spoon with the symbol. She was very angry. She said, "Jill and Tom, what have you done? You used the wrong spoon. You made a bad cake. You did not listen to the symbol. You are in big trouble. You have to go to your rooms. And you have to see the doctor. You could have hurt yourselves."
+
+Jill and Tom were very scared. They cried and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We wanted to make a cake for you. We did not see the symbol. We did not understand." Mom said, "I know you wanted to do something nice. But you have to be careful. You have to pay attention to the symbols. They tell you what to do and what not to do. They are there to help you. Next time, ask me before you use something you don't know. Now go to your rooms and wait for the doctor."
+
+The moral of the story is: Pay attention to the symbols. They can save you from trouble.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They live on a farm with many animals. They like to feed the animals and play with them.
+
+One day, they see a big fat pig in the barn. The pig is pink and has a curly tail. The pig makes loud noises. "Oink, oink, oink!"
+
+"Hello, pig!" Tom says. "You are very fat. Do you eat a lot?"
+
+The pig nods and snorts. "Yes, I do. I eat corn and apples and carrots. The farmer provides me with good food. He is nice to me."
+
+Sue smiles and pets the pig. "You are lucky, pig. You have a warm barn and a lot of food. You must be happy."
+
+The pig wags his tail and licks Sue's hand. "I am happy, Sue. But I also have a secret. Do you want to know?"
+
+Tom and Sue nod and lean closer. The pig whispers in their ears. "The farmer is nice to me, but he also wants to eat me. He is going to make me into ham and bacon and sausage. That is why he makes me fat."
+
+Tom and Sue gasp and feel sad. They like the pig and do not want him to be eaten. They look at each other and have an idea.
+
+"Come with us, pig!" Tom says. "We will help you escape. We will take you to the woods, where you can be free and safe. You can eat berries and nuts and grass. You can make friends with other animals. You can live a long and happy life."
+
+The pig smiles and agrees. He follows Tom and Sue out of the barn. They sneak past the farmer and the dog and run to the woods. They find a cozy spot under a big tree. They hug the pig and say goodbye.
+
+"Thank you, Tom and Sue!" the pig says. "You are very kind and brave. You have provided me with a new home and a new chance. I will never forget you."
+
+Tom and Sue wave and smile. They are glad they have saved the pig. They hope he will be happy in the woods. They go back to the farm and promise to visit the pig often. They are the best friends a pig could have.
+Sara and Tom were going to travel to Grandma's house. They were very excited, because they loved Grandma and her big garden. They packed their bags and went to the airport with Mom and Dad.
+
+At the airport, they saw many planes. Some were big and some were small. Some were white and some were blue. Sara and Tom wanted to go on the blue plane, because it looked pretty. But Mom and Dad said they had to go on the white plane, because that was their ticket.
+
+They got on the white plane and found their seats. Sara and Tom sat next to the window, and Mom and Dad sat next to them. The plane was very crowded and noisy. Sara and Tom felt uncomfortable. They wanted to stretch their legs and play with their toys, but there was no space. They also wanted to see the clouds and the birds, but the window was dirty and scratched.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Sara asked Mom.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to fly for a long time. Why don't you try to sleep?" Mom said.
+
+"I can't sleep. It's too loud and bumpy. And I'm hungry." Sara said.
+
+"Me too." Tom said.
+
+Mom and Dad gave them some snacks and water, and tried to make them comfortable. They told them stories and sang songs. But Sara and Tom were still unhappy. They wished they were on the blue plane, or better yet, at Grandma's house.
+
+Then, something happened. The pilot made an announcement. He said there was a problem with the white plane, and they had to land at another airport. He said they were sorry for the inconvenience, and they would try to fix the plane as soon as possible.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt scared and confused. What was wrong with the plane? How long would they have to wait? Would they ever get to Grandma's house?
+
+But then, they saw something out of the window. It was the blue plane. It was flying next to them, and it looked shiny and smooth. It had a big smile on its nose, and it winked at them with its lights.
+
+Sara and Tom smiled back. They felt a little better. Maybe the blue plane was their friend. Maybe it would help them get to Grandma's house. Maybe their trip was not so bad after all.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to make eggs for breakfast. They found a big pan in the kitchen. They put the pan on the stove. They turned on the fire.
+
+"Can you crack the eggs, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She took an egg and hit it on the edge of the pan. But the egg was too hard. It did not crack. It bounced off the pan and rolled on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. She tried to catch the egg, but it was too fast. It rolled under the table.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt helpless. They had no more eggs. They hoped Mom would come home soon.
+
+They heard a noise at the door. It was Mom. She had a bag of groceries.
+
+"Hi, kids. What are you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"We tried to make eggs, but we failed," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She saw the egg under the table. She saw the pan on the stove. She saw the fire.
+
+She turned off the fire. She took the pan. She took the egg.
+
+"Don't worry, kids. I'll show you how to make eggs. And I have some bread and cheese and jam, too. How about that?" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily cheered. They hugged Mom. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big pile of steel cans that they use as ramps and bridges. Tom has a red car that he thinks is very powerful. He likes to make it go fast and jump over the cans.
+
+"Look at my car, Mia! It can fly!" Tom says, as he pushes his car hard and makes it soar in the air.
+
+Mia has a blue car that she likes too. She likes to make it go under the cans and around the corners. She thinks her car is very smart.
+
+"Your car is not flying, Tom. It is falling," Mia says, as she watches Tom's car land on the grass.
+
+Tom gets angry. He does not like Mia to say that. He wants to show her that his car is better. He sees a big steel can that Mia is using as a tunnel. He has an idea.
+
+He runs to the can and removes it from the pile. He puts it on top of Mia's car and laughs.
+
+"Ha ha, Mia! Now your car is trapped! My car is more powerful than yours!" Tom says, as he holds the can down.
+
+Mia gets sad. She does not like Tom to do that. She wants to play with her car. She tries to pull the can off, but it is too heavy.
+
+"Tom, stop it! That is not nice! Give me back my car!" Mia says, as she cries.
+
+Tom feels bad. He sees that Mia is crying. He remembers that Mia is his friend. He does not want to make her sad. He has another idea.
+
+He lifts the can and puts it back on the pile. He takes Mia's car and gives it to her. He smiles.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia. I was wrong. Your car is very smart. Do you want to play with me?" Tom says, as he hugs Mia.
+
+Mia smiles too. She sees that Tom is sorry. She forgives him. She likes to play with him. She hugs him back.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry too. Your car is very powerful. Do you want to share the cans?" Mia says, as she holds Tom's hand.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They play with their cars and the cans. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit the zoo with their moms. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more.
+
+They come to a big tube. The tube is for penguins. The penguins swim in the water inside the tube. Tom and Mia can see them through the glass. They are happy. They wave at the penguins.
+
+But one penguin is upset. He does not swim. He sits on a rock. He looks sad. Tom and Mia wonder why.
+
+They ask their moms. Their moms say the penguin is lonely. He has no friends. The other penguins do not like him. They do not play with him.
+
+Tom and Mia feel sorry for the penguin. They want to help him. They talk to him. They say, "Hello, penguin. We are Tom and Mia. We are your friends. We like you. You are cute. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The penguin hears them. He looks at them. He sees their smiles. He feels happy. He jumps off the rock. He swims to the glass. He waves back at them. He makes a funny noise. He says, "Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are nice. You are my friends. I want to play with you."
+
+Tom and Mia laugh. They are glad. They have made a new friend. They stay with the penguin for a long time. They have fun. They say goodbye to the penguin. They promise to visit him again. The penguin is happy. He is not lonely anymore. He has friends.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together. They have a big map of the world on the wall. The map shows many countries. Countries are places where people live.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia decide to play a game. They take turns to point at a country on the map and say its name. Ben points at a big country with many colors. He says, "This is India. It has a lot of people and animals and food."
+
+Mia points at a small country with a lot of water around it. She says, "This is Japan. It has a lot of islands and mountains and cars."
+
+They keep playing until they reach a country that is white and cold. Ben says, "This is Antarctica. It has a lot of snow and ice and penguins."
+
+Mia says, "I want to go there. It looks fun."
+
+Ben says, "But it is very far and very cold. How will you go there?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. Then she says, "I will do this. I will put on a thick coat and a thick hat and a thick scarf. I will take a big boat and a big sled and a big dog. I will sail on the water and slide on the ice and play with the penguins."
+
+Ben says, "That sounds like a good plan. But I will miss you. Can I go with you?"
+
+Mia says, "Of course. You are my friend. We can go together and see the country."
+
+Ben and Mia smile and hug. They look at the map and dream of their adventure.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have a big toy box with many toys. But sometimes they fight over the toys. They want the same toy and they do not share.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We are going on a holiday. We will go to the beach and see the sea. It will be fun." Sara and Ben are happy. They love the beach and the sea. They pack their bags and their toys.
+
+At the beach, they see the sand and the water. The water is blue and deep. They want to swim and make sand castles. But they still fight over the toys. They want the same bucket and the same shovel. They do not share.
+
+Their mom says, "Stop fighting. You are twins. You should unite and play together. The beach is big enough for both of you. There are many things to do and see. Why don't you share your toys and help each other?"
+
+Sara and Ben think about what their mom says. They feel sorry for fighting. They say, "You are right, mom. We are twins. We should unite and play together. We have many toys. We can share them and help each other." They hug and say sorry.
+
+They start to play together. They share their bucket and shovel. They make a big sand castle. They swim and splash in the water. They see fish and shells. They have fun. They are happy. They enjoy their holiday. They are twins. They are united.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. But today, they have to go to the doctor. They are not sick, but they need a check-up.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to go to the doctor," Ben says. He is scared of the doctor. He thinks the doctor will hurt him with a needle.
+
+"Ben, it's okay. The doctor is nice. He will not hurt you. He will just look at you and listen to your heart. He will give you a sticker if you are brave," Mom says.
+
+Anna is not scared of the doctor. She likes the doctor. She thinks the doctor is funny and smart. She wants to be a doctor when she grows up.
+
+"Ben, don't be scared. I will go with you. We can hold hands. We can watch the fish in the tank. They are pretty and colorful. They make me happy," Anna says.
+
+Ben nods. He trusts Anna. He holds her hand. They go to the doctor's office. They watch the fish in the tank. They are pretty and colorful. They make Ben happy.
+
+The doctor calls their names. They go to the room. The doctor smiles. He says hello. He looks at them and listens to their hearts. He says they are healthy and strong. He gives them each a sticker. He says they are brave and patient.
+
+"Thank you, doctor," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They hug the doctor. They hug Mom. They are happy. They are brave and patient. They watch the fish in the tank again. They go home. They play with their toys and watch TV. They are twins. They like each other.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today they have to go to the doctor. They do not like the doctor. He makes them sit still and look at his tools. He also gives them shots sometimes.
+
+Lily and Ben are restless in the car. They wiggle and kick and make noise. Mom tells them to act well. She says the doctor will be nice and quick. She says they will get a sticker and a lollipop after. Lily and Ben try to act well, but they are still restless.
+
+They get to the doctor's office. They wait in a room with toys and books. Lily and Ben play with the toys and read the books. They are not so restless now. They are having fun.
+
+The doctor comes in. He smiles and says hello. He asks them how they are. Lily and Ben say they are fine. The doctor checks their ears, their eyes, their nose, their mouth, their heart, and their tummy. He says they are healthy and strong. He gives them each a shot. It hurts a little, but they are brave. They do not cry.
+
+The doctor gives them each a sticker and a lollipop. He tells them to act well and stay healthy. He says goodbye. Lily and Ben say thank you and goodbye. They are happy. They did act well. They are not restless anymore. They go back to the car with Mom. They lick their lollipops and show their stickers. They are proud of themselves.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play in the farm with the animals. One day, they see a big mule in the field. The mule has long ears and a brown coat. Sam and Ben want to pet the mule.
+
+"Hello, mule!" Sam says. "Can we touch you?"
+
+The mule does not answer. He looks at Sam and Ben with his big eyes. He is fearful of the boys. He does not like strangers.
+
+"Come on, mule!" Ben says. "We are nice. We have carrots for you."
+
+Ben takes a carrot from his pocket and holds it out to the mule. The mule sniffs the carrot. He is hungry. He moves his head closer to Ben.
+
+"Good mule!" Ben says. "See, Sam? He likes us."
+
+Sam smiles. He takes a carrot from his pocket too. He walks towards the mule. He wants to pet the mule's ears.
+
+But the mule does not like Sam. He thinks Sam is too loud and too fast. He is scared of Sam. He kicks his legs and runs away.
+
+"Hey, mule!" Sam shouts. "Where are you going?"
+
+The mule does not stop. He runs to the pond. He sees the water. He is thirsty. He dives into the pond. He splashes the water with his nose.
+
+"Wow, mule!" Ben says. "You can dive!"
+
+Sam and Ben laugh. They run to the pond too. They watch the mule swim and play. They think the mule is funny.
+
+"Maybe he is not so fearful after all," Sam says.
+
+"Maybe he just likes water more than carrots," Ben says.
+
+They decide to leave the mule alone. They go to find another animal to play with. They hope the mule will be their friend one day.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with and no books to read. They looked around the living room and saw a big couch. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's play on the couch!" Lily said. "We can jump and bounce and have fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben agreed. "But we have to be careful. Mom said the couch is not for jumping."
+
+They climbed on the couch and started to jump. They felt happy and free. They pretended they were frogs and rabbits and kangaroos. They laughed and shouted.
+
+"Spring, spring, spring!" they said.
+
+But they jumped too hard and too high. They did not see the lamp on the table next to the couch. They knocked it over and it broke. They heard a loud crash and a shatter. They stopped jumping and looked at the mess. They felt scared and sorry.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We broke the lamp! Mom will be mad!"
+
+"What do we do?" Ben asked. "We can't hide it. She will see it."
+
+They heard the door open. Mom came home. She saw the broken lamp and the couch. She was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked. "Who broke the lamp?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they had to tell the truth.
+
+"We did, Mom," Lily said. "We were jumping on the couch and we hit the lamp. We are sorry."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was glad they told the truth.
+
+"Thank you for being honest," she said. "But you know you should not jump on the couch. It is not safe and it can damage the furniture. You could have hurt yourself or the couch. The lamp was very special to me. It was a gift from Grandma. Now it is gone."
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry again.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We won't jump on the couch again. We will play with our toys and books. We will be careful and respectful."
+
+Mom hugged them back. She was still angry, but she loved them.
+
+"I love you, too," she said. "But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to help me clean up the mess and save your allowance to buy a new lamp. And you have to promise me you will not jump on the couch again."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They helped Mom clean up the mess and they promised to not jump on the couch again. They learned that jumping on the couch was not amazing. It was dangerous and wrong. They learned to be more careful and respectful. They learned to tell the truth and face the consequences. They learned a valuable lesson.
+One day, Lily and Max went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the big tank with the fish and the sharks.
+
+"Look, mom, a shark!" Max shouted, pointing at a gray shape in the water.
+
+"Yes, that's a shark, Max. Do you know what sharks eat?" mom asked.
+
+Max thought for a moment, then said, "Fish?"
+
+"Very good, Max. Some sharks eat fish, but some also eat other things, like seals, turtles, or even trash," mom explained.
+
+Lily was curious too. She asked, "Mom, are sharks bad?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "No, Lily, sharks are not bad. They are just animals that live in the ocean. They have to eat to survive, just like we do. But they are also very beautiful and amazing creatures. They have different shapes, sizes, and colors. Some have stripes, some have spots, some have teeth, and some have none. They are very important for the ocean, because they help keep the balance of life."
+
+Lily and Max nodded, and looked at the sharks with wonder. They learned a lot from mom's answer, and they wanted to see more of the zoo. They thanked mom for taking them, and ran to the next exhibit, holding hands. They had a fun and exciting day at the zoo.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's go underground!" Tom says. He puts on his hat and his boots. He dresses for adventure.
+
+"No, Tom, it is dark and dirty underground. We don't know what is there. It could be scary or dangerous. We should stay here." Lily says. She dresses in her pink dress and her sandals. She likes to look pretty.
+
+Tom thinks Lily is ignorant. He does not care about scary or dangerous. He wants to have fun and explore. He says, "You are silly, Lily. Underground is not bad. It is exciting and fun. You are missing out. I am going without you."
+
+Tom crawls into the hole. He disappears underground. Lily stays in the garden. She plays with her dolls. She thinks Tom is ignorant. He does not care about pretty or safe. He wants to be dirty and brave. She says, "You are silly, Tom. Underground is not fun. It is boring and hard. You are wasting your time. I am happy without you."
+
+Tom and Lily are both ignorant. They do not understand each other. They do not share their feelings. They do not listen to each other. They are both alone. They are both unhappy.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They share their toys and snacks. They are kind to each other.
+
+One day, Lily brings a new doll to the park. She loves her doll very much. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, this is my new doll. Her name is Rose. She is very pretty and soft. Do you want to hold her?"
+
+Ben nods and reaches for the doll. But Lily pulls it back and says, "No, you can't. She is mine. You might break her or make her dirty. Go play with your own toys."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That's not fair. You always let me play with your toys before. Why are you so mean now? You are not my friend anymore." He runs away to the swings.
+
+Lily hugs her doll and feels happy. She thinks she has the best toy in the park. But then she looks around and sees that Ben is not there. She feels lonely and sorry. She realizes that she was not kind to Ben. She remembers that they made a promise to always share and be nice to each other. She wants to say sorry to Ben and be his friend again.
+
+She runs to the swings and finds Ben. He is sitting alone and looking sad. She says, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I shouldn't have kept my doll from you. You can hold her if you want. She is not more important than you. You are my best friend. Do you forgive me?"
+
+Ben looks at Lily and sees that she is sincere. He smiles and says, "I forgive you, Lily. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You are my best friend too. Can we play together again?"
+
+Lily nods and gives him the doll. They hug and say, "We are sorry. We are friends. We keep our promise."
+
+They go back to playing in the park. They take turns holding the doll and playing with their other toys. They are kind and happy. They realize that sharing and being nice is more fun than being selfish and mean.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play outside. She had a big yard with many flowers and trees. One day, she saw something shiny under a bush. She went closer and saw a small lizard with a long tail. The lizard's tail was glowing in different colors.
+
+"Wow, you are so pretty!" Lily said to the lizard. "Can I be your friend?"
+
+The lizard looked at Lily and nodded. He was not afraid of her. He liked her voice and her smile. He crawled out of the bush and let Lily touch his tail.
+
+"Your tail is so soft and warm," Lily said. "Why does it glow like that?"
+
+The lizard said, "My tail glows when I am happy or scared. It helps me talk to other lizards and stay safe from big animals. Sometimes I can change the colors too. Look, I can make it red, or blue, or green."
+
+Lily clapped her hands and laughed. She said, "That is amazing! You are very smart and cool. Can you show me more?"
+
+The lizard said, "Sure, come with me. I will show you my home and my family. They live under a big rock. It is dry and cozy there. We have some bugs and worms for snacks. Do you like bugs and worms?"
+
+Lily made a face and said, "No, thank you. I like apples and cookies. But I would love to see your home and your family. Maybe they will like me too."
+
+The lizard said, "I think they will. You are very nice and gentle. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily and the lizard walked together to the big rock. They became good friends and had a lot of fun. Lily learned many things about lizards and their tails. The lizard learned many things about girls and their toys. They were happy and their tails glowed.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with their bikes. One day, they see a big truck on their street. The truck has many boxes. The truck driver is very busy. He has to deliver the boxes to different houses.
+
+"Can we help you?" Sara asks the truck driver.
+
+"Sure, thank you. You can take this box to the blue house over there. It is for Mrs. Lee. She is waiting for it. Be careful, it is heavy." The truck driver says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They put the box on Sara's bike. They ride to the blue house. It is very cold outside. They can see their breath in the air. They knock on the door.
+
+"Hello, who is it?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+"We have a box for you. It is from the truck driver. He is delivering boxes to different houses." Tom says.
+
+"Oh, thank you. You are very kind. Come in, it is warm inside. Do you want some cookies and milk?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They are happy to help. They are also hungry and thirsty. They go inside the blue house. They enjoy the cookies and milk. They chat with Mrs. Lee. She tells them stories about her grandchildren. They have fun.
+
+After a while, they say goodbye to Mrs. Lee. They thank her for the cookies and milk. They go back to the truck driver. He is almost done. He has one more box to deliver. He asks Sara and Tom if they want to join him. They say yes. They hop on the truck. They help him deliver the last box. They have a great day.
+Lily and Ben like to collect things. They have a big box full of shells, rocks, stickers, and toys. One day, they find a new thing to collect: suits. They see a man in a suit walking on the street. He looks very nice and smart.
+
+"Hello, sir," Lily says. "We like your suit. Can we have it?"
+
+The man is surprised. He smiles and says, "Thank you, but I need my suit. It is for my work. Why do you want it?"
+
+"We want to collect suits," Ben says. "We have a big box for them. We have many things, but no suits."
+
+The man laughs. He thinks Lily and Ben are very funny and cute. He is also very generous. He says, "Well, I have an idea. Why don't you come with me to my office? I have some old suits that I don't wear anymore. You can have them if you want."
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They follow the man to his office. He gives them three suits: one blue, one gray, and one black. They are very big for Lily and Ben, but they don't mind. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+They put the suits in their big box and run back home. They show their mom and dad their new collection. They try on the suits and pretend to be workers. They have a lot of fun. They are very glad they met the man in the suit. He is very nice and smart and generous.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue bike. Tom can ride the bike very fast. Sam can throw the ball very high.
+
+One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says, "Be careful, boys. Don't go too far." Tom and Sam say, "OK, Mom." They run to the grass. Tom gets on the bike. Sam gets the ball.
+
+Tom rides the bike around the grass. He goes fast. He feels happy. He sees a big hill. He wants to go up the hill. He pedals harder. He goes faster. He reaches the top of the hill. He smiles.
+
+Sam throws the ball in the air. He watches it fly. He feels happy. He sees the ball come down. He runs to catch it. He reaches out his hands. He catches the ball. He smiles.

+But then, something bad happens. Tom loses his balance on the bike. He falls down the hill. He rolls and rolls. He hurts his knee. He cries. Sam hears him cry. He drops the ball. He runs to Tom. He sees him on the ground. He feels sad.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Sam asks. He kneels next to Tom. He sees blood on his knee. He says, "Don't worry, Tom. I'll help you." He takes off his belt. He wraps it around Tom's knee. He says, "This will stop the blood."
+
+Tom stops crying. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother." He hugs Sam. Sam hugs him back. He says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a brave brother." They smile.
+
+Mom sees them hug. She runs to them. She says, "What happened, boys?" Sam tells her what happened. Mom says, "Oh, no. Poor Tom. Let me see your knee." She looks at the belt. She says, "Good job, Sam. You are very smart." She kisses them both. She says, "Let's go home. I'll clean your knee and put a band-aid on it."
+
+Tom and Sam say, "OK, Mom." They get up. Tom limps a little. Sam helps him. They get the bike and the ball. They go home with Mom. They feel better. They love each other. They love Mom. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room at night. They have a flashlight that makes funny shapes on the wall. It is their original flashlight. They got it from their grandma.
+
+One night, Anna and Ben are playing with the flashlight. Anna wants to make a star shape. Ben wants to make a moon shape. They both want to use the flashlight.
+
+"Give me the flashlight!" Anna says. "I want to make a star!"
+
+"No, it is my turn!" Ben says. "I want to make a moon!"
+
+They pull the flashlight from each other. The flashlight falls on the floor. It breaks. The light goes out.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They broke their original flashlight. They don't know how to fix it.
+
+They hear their mom coming. They are scared. They think their mom will be angry.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry!" Anna and Ben say. "We broke our flashlight!"
+
+Mom comes in. She sees the flashlight on the floor. She is not angry. She is calm.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," Mom says. "I know you didn't mean to break it. Accidents happen. But you have to share and be gentle with your toys. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They hug their mom. They say sorry to each other.
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I have a surprise for you. I have another flashlight in the closet. It is not your original flashlight, but it is very special. It can make different colors and sounds. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They say yes. They thank their mom. They go to the closet. They get the new flashlight. They play with it. They make different shapes, colors and sounds. They share and take turns. They have fun. They love their mom. They love their new flashlight.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a charming clock that she got from her grandma. The clock had a face with two hands and numbers. It also had a bird that came out and said "cuckoo" every hour.
+
+One day, Sara decided to name her clock. She thought of different names, but none of them seemed right. She asked her mom for help.
+
+"Mom, what should I name my clock?" she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Why don't you name it after someone you love?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She loved her mom, her dad, her grandma, and her dog. But she wanted a special name for her clock.
+
+"I know!" she said. "I will name it Cuckoo!"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "That's a perfect name for your clock. Cuckoo is a funny and sweet name."
+
+Sara hugged her mom and ran to her room. She put her clock on her nightstand and said, "Hello, Cuckoo. You are my new friend. I will take good care of you."
+
+Cuckoo nodded and said, "Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo."
+
+Sara and Cuckoo were very happy. They played, read, and sang together. Every hour, Cuckoo would say "cuckoo" and Sara would say "cuckoo" back. They had a lot of fun. Sara loved her charming clock named Cuckoo.
+Lily liked to draw with crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She was very creative and happy.
+
+One day, she went to school with her crayons. She wanted to share them with her friends. But there was a boy named Max who was not nice. He did not have any crayons of his own. He wanted to take Lily's crayons.
+
+When Lily was not looking, Max stole some of her crayons. He put them in his pocket and ran away. He thought he was clever, but he was not.
+
+Lily saw that some of her crayons were missing. She was sad and angry. She asked her teacher for help. The teacher saw that Max had Lily's crayons in his pocket. She told him to give them back and say sorry.
+
+Max felt ashamed and scared. He gave back the crayons and said sorry to Lily. He learned that stealing was wrong and hurtful. He asked Lily if he could borrow some of her crayons and draw with her. Lily was kind and said yes. She taught him how to be creative and happy with crayons. They became friends and drew together.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with toys. But they also liked to quarrel a lot. They always wanted the same toy and did not like to share. One day, they found a big box of glue in the garage. They thought it would be fun to use the glue to stick things together.
+
+They took the glue and some of their toys to their room. They started to glue their toys to each other, to the wall, to the bed, and to the floor. They laughed and made a big mess. But soon they ran out of glue. They looked around and saw one more thing they could glue: their elderly cat, Fluffy.
+
+Fluffy was sleeping on the window sill. Lily and Tom sneaked up to him and poured the rest of the glue on his fur. They tried to stick some feathers and beads to him, but he woke up and felt the glue. He was very angry and scared. He hissed and scratched and tried to get away. But the glue was too sticky and he could not move.
+
+Lily and Tom thought it was funny and laughed. But then they heard their mom coming up the stairs. She opened the door and saw the mess and the cat. She was very mad and sad. She yelled at Lily and Tom and told them they were very naughty. She took the glue and the scissors and tried to help Fluffy. But it was too late. The glue had dried and Fluffy was stuck. He could not breathe and he died.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped laughing and started to cry. They loved Fluffy and did not want to hurt him. They wished they had not quarreled and played with the glue. They said they were sorry, but it did not matter. Fluffy was gone and they could not bring him back. They had a bad ending.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they made castles and roads. One day, the weather was very hot and sunny. Lily and Tom felt thirsty and tired.
+
+"Let's go inside and get some water," Lily said to Tom.
+
+"OK, but first I want to show you something," Tom said. He pointed to a small hole under the fence. "Look, there is a secret tunnel. Maybe it leads to a treasure."
+
+Lily was curious. She followed Tom to the hole. It was very dark and thin. They had to crawl to get in. They crawled and crawled, but they did not see any treasure. They only saw dirt and bugs.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this tunnel. It's scary and dirty. Let's go back," Lily said.
+
+But Tom did not answer. He had crawled too far and got stuck. He could not move or turn around. He started to cry.
+
+"Lily, help me! I'm stuck! I can't get out!"
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry. She was scared too, but she wanted to help her brother. She crawled to him and tried to pull him out. But he was too big and the hole was too thin. She could not pull him out.
+
+She cried too. "Tom, I'm sorry. I can't help you. We're trapped!"
+
+They cried and cried, until they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing in there?" It was their dad. He had come home from work and saw their sandbox empty. He looked around and saw the hole under the fence. He heard their cries and ran to them.
+
+He saw their feet sticking out of the hole. He grabbed them and pulled them out. He hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"Are you OK? What were you thinking? You could have been hurt or lost in there. Don't ever do that again!"
+
+Lily and Tom were happy to see their dad. They were sorry for being naughty. They said they were sorry and thanked him for saving them.
+
+They went inside and drank some water. They decided they did not like the secret tunnel anymore. They liked their sandbox better. They learned their lesson. They never crawled under the fence again.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the living room. She had a lot of nice toys, like dolls, cars, blocks and books. She also liked to look at the big jug on the shelf. The jug was blue and shiny, and had flowers on it. Lily's mom said the jug was very old and special, and she should not touch it.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her dolls, and she saw the jug on the shelf. She wanted to see it closer, and maybe fill it with water and pretend to drink from it. She thought it would be fun. She got a chair and climbed on it, and reached for the jug. But the jug was heavy and slippery, and Lily lost her balance. The jug fell from her hands and crashed on the floor. It broke into many pieces, and water spilled everywhere.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She knew she had done a bad thing. She heard her mom coming, and she started to cry. Her mom saw the mess and the broken jug, and she was very angry and sad too. She yelled at Lily and said she was naughty and careless. She said the jug was very important to her, and she could not fix it or replace it. She said Lily had to go to her room and think about what she had done.
+
+Lily ran to her room, still crying. She felt very sorry and bad. She wished she had not touched the jug. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she could say sorry and make her mom happy again. She regretted playing with the jug. She learned a hard lesson. She hoped her mom would forgive her someday.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite animal was the zebra. The zebra had black and white stripes all over its body. It looked like a big horse with a funny coat.
+
+"Mom, can we use the carrots to feed the zebra?" Ben asked. He had a bag of carrots in his hand. He liked to feed the animals at the zoo.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The zebra might bite your fingers," Mom said. She gave them some carrots and showed them how to hold them flat on their palms.
+
+Ben and Lily walked up to the fence where the zebra was. The zebra saw them and came closer. It was very enthusiastic. It sniffed their hands and licked their carrots. It made a loud noise that sounded like a laugh.
+
+"Wow, the zebra likes us!" Lily said. She giggled and stroked the zebra's nose.
+
+"It does! It's so soft and friendly!" Ben said. He smiled and gave the zebra another carrot.
+
+The zebra ate all their carrots and nuzzled their cheeks. Ben and Lily were very happy. They thanked the zebra and said goodbye. They told Mom that the zebra was their new friend. Mom was glad that they had fun. She took them to see more animals at the zoo.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to sleep. Every night, they try to stay awake as long as they can.
+
+One night, they have a plan. They sneak into the kitchen and find a big jar of sugar. They think sugar will make them more awake and happy. They take the jar to their room and eat a lot of sugar with their spoons.
+
+"Yum, this is so good!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, we are so smart!" Sam says.
+
+But soon, they start to feel sick. Their stomachs hurt and their teeth ache. They also feel very tired and sleepy. They cannot play anymore. They lie down on their beds and close their eyes.
+
+Mom and Dad come to check on them. They see the empty jar of sugar and the spoons on the floor. They also see their sons sleeping with their mouths open.
+
+"Oh no, what have they done?" Mom says.
+
+"They ate all the sugar. That was very stupid of them. They will have a bad dream and a bad morning." Dad says.
+
+Mom and Dad shake their heads and sigh. They take away the jar and the spoons. They cover their sons with blankets and kiss them good night.
+
+"Sleep well, boys. And no more sugar, please." Mom says.
+
+"Maybe they will learn their lesson." Dad says.
+
+They turn off the light and leave the room. Tim and Sam sleep and dream of sugar. But they do not feel happy. They feel sorry and silly. They wish they had listened to Mom and Dad. They wish they had not been so stupid.
+Lily likes to balance. She can balance on one foot, on a chair, on a ball. She likes to make her mom and dad smile when she balances. She says, "Look at me, I am a balance girl!"
+
+One day, Lily finds a big picture in the basement. It is a picture of a farm with cows and pigs and chickens. Lily likes the picture. She wants to show it to mom and dad. She says, "I will balance the picture on my head and take it upstairs!"
+
+Lily puts the picture on her head and walks slowly. She tries to balance the picture and not drop it. She goes up the stairs, one by one. She is almost at the top when she hears a loud noise. It is the dog, Max. He barks and runs to Lily. He wants to play.
+
+Lily gets scared. She loses her balance. The picture falls off her head and breaks. The glass shatters and the frame cracks. Lily cries. She says, "Oh no, I broke the picture! Mom and dad will be mad at me!"
+
+Mom and dad hear the noise and come to see what happened. They see Lily and the broken picture. They are not mad. They hug Lily and say, "It's okay, Lily. We are not mad. We are glad you are not hurt. The picture was old and not very good. We can get a new one. You are more important than the picture. We love you, Lily."
+
+Lily feels better. She says, "I love you, too, mom and dad. I am sorry I broke the picture. I wanted to show you how I can balance. I am a balance girl!"
+
+Mom and dad smile. They say, "You are a balance girl, and a good girl, too. But next time, please be careful with the pictures. They can be sharp and dangerous. And maybe you can balance something else, like a book or a hat or a toy."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Okay, mom and dad. I will be careful. And I will balance something else. Can I balance Max?"
+
+Mom and dad laugh. They say, "Maybe not Max. He is too big and wiggly. How about a pillow or a ball or a doll?"
+
+Lily thinks. She says, "Okay, I will try that. But first, can we clean up the mess?"
+
+Mom and dad say, "Of course, Lily. We will help you. Let's clean up the mess and then we can play some more. You are a balance girl, and a good helper, too."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They had a big box that was their ship and a map that showed them where to find treasure.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a vase on the shelf. Maybe it has gold inside!" Ben said, pointing to a shiny blue vase that Mom had put there.
+
+"Let's get it, Ben. But we have to be careful. Mom said it is very old and we can't break it," Lily said. She climbed on the couch and reached for the vase.
+
+But the couch was too soft and Lily slipped. She grabbed the vase, but it was too heavy for her. She fell to the floor with a loud thud. The vase rolled out of her hands and headed towards the edge of the table.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, the vase is going to fall!" Ben shouted. He ran to the table and tried to catch the vase. But he was too late. The vase hit the floor and broke into many pieces.
+
+Lily and Ben stared at the mess. They were scared and sad. They knew Mom would be very angry. They heard Mom coming down the stairs.
+
+"What was that noise? What have you done?" Mom asked, seeing the broken vase.
+
+Lily and Ben started to cry. They wanted to say sorry, but they couldn't find the words.
+
+Mom looked at them and sighed. She was upset, but she also loved them. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my sweeties. I know you didn't mean to break the vase. It was an accident. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to help me clean up this mess."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you."
+
+"I love you too, my darlings. Now, let's get the broom and the dustpan. And no more playing with the vase, okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They followed Mom to the kitchen and got the tools. They went back to the living room and helped Mom pick up the pieces of the vase. They worked hard and soon the floor was clean.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You did a good job. You saved the day."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled too. They felt better. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They saw their lazy cat sleeping on the rug. They thought he might like to join their adventure.
+
+"Hey, kitty, do you want to be our pirate mate?" Lily asked, tickling his ear.
+
+The cat opened one eye and yawned. He didn't seem interested.
+
+"Maybe he is too lazy to play," Ben said, laughing.
+
+"Maybe he is," Lily said, laughing too.
+
+They left the cat alone and went back to their box. They had more fun and more stories to tell. They were happy and Mom was happy too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many green pears. They wanted to pick some pears to eat.
+
+"Let's climb the tree and get some pears," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree and reached for the pears. They picked some and put them in their pockets. They ate some and they were sweet and juicy.
+
+But then Tom saw a big bee. It was buzzing near his ear. He was scared of the bee. He tried to shoo it away, but it did not leave. He felt dizzy and he lost his balance. He fell from the tree and landed on the grass.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom cried. "That hurt!"
+
+Lily saw Tom fall and she was worried. She climbed down the tree and ran to him. She saw that he had a bump on his head and a scratch on his arm.
+
+"Are you OK, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm OK, but I don't like bees," Tom said.
+
+"Me neither. Let's leave the tree and go inside. Mom can help you," Lily said.
+
+They left the tree and the bee and the pears. They went inside the house and told Mom what happened. Mom gave Tom a hug and a band-aid and a glass of water. She said he was brave and he would feel better soon.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and thanked Mom. They decided to play with their toys instead of climbing trees. They were happy and they forgot about the bee and the pears.
+Lily liked to wander in the park with her mom. She saw many things that made her happy: flowers, birds, dogs, and people. One day, she heard a sound that was new to her. It was a violin. A man was playing it under a big tree. He made the violin sing with a stick and strings.
+
+Lily wanted to see the violin. She let go of her mom's hand and ran to the man. She said, "Hello, what is that?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "This is a violin. It is a musical instrument. Do you like music?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked music very much. She asked, "Can I touch it?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, but be gentle. The violin is very old and precious. It was my grandfather's. He taught me how to play it."
+
+Lily touched the violin with her fingers. It was smooth and shiny. She felt the strings and the stick. She said, "It is beautiful. How do you make it sing?"
+
+The man said, "You have to hold the stick and move it across the strings. Like this." He showed her how to play a simple tune. Lily listened and clapped.
+
+She said, "You are very good. Can you teach me?"
+
+The man said, "Maybe when you are older. You have to practice a lot and be brave. Sometimes it is hard and you make mistakes. But you have to keep trying and never give up."
+
+Lily said, "I want to be brave like you. I want to learn the violin."
+
+The man said, "That is wonderful. You have a curious and kind heart. I think you will be a great musician someday. Here, take this." He gave her a small violin charm that he wore around his neck. He said, "This is a gift from me. It will remind you of your dream and your courage."
+
+Lily thanked him and hugged him. She was very happy. She ran back to her mom and showed her the charm. She said, "Mom, look what I got. It is a violin. I met a man who plays it. He was very nice and he taught me something. He said I have to be brave and never give up."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That is a very good lesson, Lily. I am proud of you. You are a brave and curious girl. And you made a new friend today. That is a very special violin charm. You should keep it safe and cherish it."
+
+Lily said, "I will, mom. I love it. And I love you. And I love music. And I love the park. And I love the violin man."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love music. And I love the park. And I love the violin man too. He is a very kind and generous person. He gave you a wonderful gift. And you know what? You gave him a gift too. You gave him your smile and your interest and your gratitude. Those are very precious gifts too. You made his day brighter. And you made my day brighter too."
+
+Lily and her mom hugged and kissed. They walked home together, holding hands. Lily looked at her violin charm and smiled. She felt happy and brave. She had a dream in her heart. And she had a friend in the park.
+Lila loved her velvet doll. She named her Amy and took her everywhere. Amy had a soft pink dress and long brown hair. Lila liked to brush her hair and sing to her.
+
+One day, Lila went to the park with her mom and Amy. She saw some other kids playing with their toys. She wanted to make friends, so she walked over to them.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lila. This is Amy. She's my velvet doll. Do you want to play with us?" she asked.
+
+One of the kids, a boy with a red cap, looked at Amy and laughed. "That's not a velvet doll. That's a rag doll. She's old and ugly. You should get a real toy, like a robot or a car."
+
+Lila felt sad and angry. She hugged Amy and said, "No, she's not. She's a velvet doll. She's beautiful and kind. And she's my best friend. You're mean and rude. You don't know anything."
+
+The boy with the red cap snorted. "Whatever. You're silly and dumb. You believe in stupid things. Come on, guys, let's go. We don't want to play with her."
+
+He and his friends walked away, leaving Lila alone. Lila felt tears in her eyes. She looked at Amy and whispered, "Don't worry, Amy. I still love you. And I still believe in you. You're my velvet doll, and no one can change that."
+
+Amy smiled at Lila. She didn't say anything, but Lila knew she understood. She felt a warm hug from her mom, who had seen everything.
+
+"It's okay, Lila. You're a brave and smart girl. And you have a wonderful imagination. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for believing in what you love. You and Amy are very special."
+
+Lila smiled back at her mom. She felt better. She knew her mom was right. She and Amy were very special. And they had each other. And that was enough.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy cars. Tom had a big red car that could make loud noises and flash lights. Sam had a small blue car that was quiet and plain. Sam was envious of Tom's car and wanted to play with it, but Tom never let him.
+
+One day, Tom went to the kitchen to get a snack and left his car on the floor. Sam saw his chance and grabbed the car. He ran to his room and locked the door. He turned on the car and made it zoom around his bed. He was very happy and forgot about Tom.
+
+Tom came back and saw that his car was gone. He looked around and saw smoke coming from under Sam's door. He smelled something burning and got scared. He banged on the door and shouted, "Sam, open the door! Your car is on fire!"
+
+Sam heard Tom and saw the smoke. He realized that his car had a battery that could overheat and catch fire. He tried to turn off the car, but it was too late. The fire had spread to his bed and his curtains. He threw the car away and ran to the door. He unlocked it and opened it. He saw Tom standing there, angry and worried.
+
+Tom grabbed Sam and pulled him out of the room. He called for their mom and dad, who came running with a fire extinguisher. They put out the fire and checked if Sam was hurt. He was not, but he was very sorry and ashamed. He gave Tom back his car and apologized. Tom forgave him and hugged him. He said, "It's okay, Sam. I'm glad you're safe. Next time, you can ask me to play with my car. I'll share it with you."
+
+Sam smiled and thanked Tom. He learned his lesson and never took Tom's car again. He also learned to be happy with his own car, which was lighter and easier to carry. He realized that sometimes, bigger and louder things are not better. They can be dangerous and weigh you down.
+Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play and run. One day, they saw a barber shop. The barber shop had a big sign. The sign said "Free Haircuts".
+
+Tim and Sam wanted to have free haircuts. They thought it would be fun. They decided to race to the barber shop. They ran as fast as they could. They did not look where they were going.
+
+On the way, they crossed a busy street. They did not see the cars. The cars did not see them. The cars honked and screeched. Tim and Sam were scared. They tried to stop. But it was too late.
+
+A big car hit Tim. A small car hit Sam. They fell to the ground. They did not get up. They did not go to the barber shop. They did not have free haircuts. They had blood and pain.
+
+The barber saw what happened. He was sad. He called for help. He wished Tim and Sam had been more careful. He wished they had not raced to the barber shop. He wished they had been happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. But sometimes their toys are messy. Mom says they have to sort their toys before they can go outside.
+
+"Let's sort our toys, Ben," Sara says. "We can put the cars in this box, the dolls in that box, the blocks in this bag and the books on that shelf."
+
+"OK, Sara," Ben says. "But I want to play with the cars first. They are fun. Vroom, vroom!"
+
+"No, Ben, we have to sort first. Then we can play. Mom will be happy if we sort our toys. And we can go outside and see the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes me happy."
+
+"Fine, Sara, you are smart. You know what to do. I will help you sort our toys. Then we can play with the cars. And then we can go outside and see the sun. The sun makes me happy too."
+
+Sara and Ben sort their toys. They work together. They are fast and good. Mom comes and sees their toys. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Good job, Sara and Ben. You sorted your toys very well. I am proud of you. You are smart and kind. Now you can go outside and play. The sun is shining. Have fun!"
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They grab their coats and hats. They run outside and play. They see the sun. They laugh and sing. They are twins. They are friends. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben are friends who like to play in the farm. They have many animals to see and feed, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. But they do not like the mule. The mule is big and brown and has long ears. He looks mean and he makes loud noises. They think he is bad and they do not want to go near him.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben decide to go to the pond to catch frogs. They take a basket and a net and walk along the path. They see the mule in his pen, but they ignore him. They think he is boring and useless. They have more fun with the frogs.
+
+But when they are at the pond, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big bear. The bear is hungry and angry. He sees Lila and Ben and wants to eat them. He runs towards them, showing his teeth and claws. Lila and Ben are very scared. They drop their basket and net and run away. They scream for help.
+
+The mule hears their screams. He sees the bear chasing them. He does not like the bear. He does not like Lila and Ben either, but he knows they need help. He is brave and strong. He jumps over the fence and runs after the bear. He kicks the bear with his hoofs and bites him with his teeth. He makes loud noises to scare him away. The bear is hurt and afraid. He runs away from the mule.
+
+Lila and Ben are safe. They are very thankful to the mule. They hug him and pet him. They say sorry for being mean to him. They realize he is not bad, he is fine. He is a good friend who saved them. They learn to be kind and respectful to all animals, even the ones they do not like. They promise to visit the mule more often and give him treats. The mule is happy. He wags his tail and smiles.
+One day, a boy and a girl went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. They liked the animals, but they liked the monkeys best. The monkeys were funny and smart. They jumped and swung on the trees. They made noises and faces at the people.
+
+The boy and the girl wanted to play with the monkeys. They asked their mom and dad if they could go inside the monkey cage. Their mom and dad said no. They said it was not safe. The monkeys could bite or scratch them. The cage had a big lock on the door. Only the zoo workers could open it.
+
+But the boy and the girl did not listen. They waited until their mom and dad were looking at other animals. Then they ran to the monkey cage. They saw a small hole in the fence. They crawled through the hole and got inside the cage. They were happy. They thought they could be friends with the monkeys.
+
+But the monkeys were not happy. They did not like the boy and the girl. They thought they were intruders. They got angry and scared. They started to scream and throw things at the boy and the girl. The boy and the girl got scared too. They wanted to get out of the cage. But they could not. The hole was too small. The door was too far. The lock was too hard.
+
+Then they saw a zoo worker coming. They hoped he would help them. But he did not. He saw the boy and the girl in the cage. He saw the monkeys attacking them. He got very mad. He yelled at them. He said they were bad and stupid. He said they had to stay in the cage. He said he would not open the lock. He said he would leave them with the monkeys. He said the monkeys would make them dead. He walked away.
+
+The boy and the girl cried. They hugged each other. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished they had never gone inside the monkey cage. They wished they could get out. They wished they could go home. They wished they were not dead.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to visit the zoo with their mom. They loved to see all the different animals and learn their names. One day, they saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Ben said. "It's so tall and fast!"
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to get closer to the ostrich and see its feathers. She saw a fence around the bird's area, but there was a small gap. She crawled under the fence and ran towards the ostrich.
+
+"Mom, look at Lily!" Ben shouted. "She's going to the bird!"
+
+Mom saw Lily and felt worry. She ran after her and called her name. "Lily, stop! Come back! The bird might be scared of you!"
+
+But Lily did not hear Mom. She was too excited to see the ostrich. She reached out her hand to touch its wing. The ostrich saw Lily and felt worry too. It did not like strangers near it. It opened its big mouth and made a loud noise.
+
+Lily heard the noise and felt fear. She saw the ostrich's mouth and teeth. She screamed and ran back to the fence. Mom caught her and hugged her. She was calm and said, "Lily, are you okay? You should not go near the animals without me. They might hurt you or you might hurt them. They need their space and respect."
+
+Lily nodded. She was sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see the bird. It was so pretty."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I know, sweetie. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The bird was pretty, but it was also scared of you. Next time, we can watch it from a safe distance and learn more about it. Okay?"
+
+Lily agreed and said, "Okay, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too." She kissed Lily and Ben and took them to see other animals. They had a fun day at the zoo and learned a lot. They never forgot the ostrich and its noise.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses with their blocks.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big castle with all their blocks. They worked hard and had fun. They used red and blue blocks for the walls, yellow and green blocks for the windows, and white and black blocks for the roof. They made a pattern with their blocks, so their castle looked nice.
+
+"Look at our castle, Lily!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, Tom, it is!" Lily said. "But we need a flag for the top. What color should we pick?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He saw a purple block on the floor. He liked purple. He ran to pick it up. But he did not see the cat sleeping on the floor. He tripped over the cat and fell down. The purple block flew out of his hand and hit the castle. The castle wobbled and crashed. The blocks scattered everywhere.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what happened?" Mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw Tom and Lily crying. She saw the cat running away. She saw the purple block on the floor.
+
+"Mom, we were making a castle, but it broke!" Lily said.
+
+"We wanted to pick a flag, but the cat was in the way!" Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. You worked so hard on your castle. But don't worry, you can make another one. And next time, watch out for the cat. He likes to sleep on the floor when it is busy."
+Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She liked to pick them and smell them and make crowns with them. One day, she saw a new flower in her garden. It was big and pink and had many petals. She ran to it and said, "Wow, what a pretty flower! I want to pick it and take it home."
+
+But as she reached for the flower, she heard a tiny voice. "Please don't pick me," the voice said. "I need this flower to live and grow." Lily looked closer and saw a small, green caterpillar on the flower. It had black spots and a yellow stripe. It looked at Lily with big, brown eyes.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked. "And why do you need this flower?"
+
+"I am a caterpillar," the voice said. "And this flower is my home and my food. I eat the leaves and the nectar, and I sleep under the petals. If you pick this flower, I will have nowhere to go and nothing to eat. And I will never become a butterfly."
+
+"A butterfly?" Lily said. "What is a butterfly?"
+
+"A butterfly is a beautiful creature with wings," the caterpillar said. "It can fly and see many things. But to become a butterfly, I have to stay on this flower and make a cocoon. A cocoon is a shell that protects me while I change. It takes a long time, but when I come out, I will be a butterfly."
+
+Lily thought about what the caterpillar said. She liked butterflies. She had seen them in the park and in the books. They were colorful and graceful and made her happy. She did not want to hurt the caterpillar or stop it from becoming a butterfly. She said, "I'm sorry, caterpillar. I didn't know you lived on this flower. I won't pick it. I will let you stay and make your cocoon and become a butterfly."
+
+The caterpillar smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart. Maybe one day, when I am a butterfly, I will come and visit you and show you my wings."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "I would like that, caterpillar. I will come and see you every day and watch you bloom and change. Good luck, caterpillar. I hope you become a beautiful butterfly."
+
+Lily left the flower and the caterpillar alone. She went to find another flower to pick. She saw a yellow one that was filthy and had holes in it. She thought, "Maybe there is another caterpillar on this flower. Maybe I should leave it alone, too." She decided to look for a clean and whole flower that no one needed. She wanted to be a good friend to the caterpillars and the butterflies.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big fly on a flower. Tom wants to catch the fly. He runs to the flower and tries to grab the fly with his hand. But the fly is too fast. It flies away.
+
+"Fly, fly, come back!" Tom shouts. He chases the fly around the park. Lily follows him. She thinks Tom is funny.
+
+"Tom, why do you want the fly?" Lily asks.
+
+"Because I want to explain to the fly why it is bad to buzz in my ear," Tom says. "The fly buzzed in my ear this morning and it hurt. It was not nice."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She thinks Tom is silly. She does not think the fly can understand Tom. She thinks the fly is just doing what flies do.
+
+"Tom, you cannot explain to the fly," Lily says. "The fly does not speak like us. The fly does not know what you say. The fly does not care."
+
+Tom stops running. He looks at Lily. He does not believe her. He thinks the fly can hear him and learn from him.
+
+"Yes, I can explain to the fly," Tom says. "The fly has ears. The fly can listen. The fly can be good."
+
+Lily sighs. She does not want to argue with Tom. She wants to play something else. She sees a swing nearby. She runs to the swing and sits on it. She pushes herself with her feet. She swings high and low. She feels the wind in her hair. She smiles.
+
+"Tom, come and swing with me!" Lily calls. "Swinging is fun. Swinging is better than catching flies."
+
+Tom hears Lily. He looks at the swing. He looks at the fly. He thinks for a moment. He decides to join Lily. He runs to the swing and sits next to her. He pushes himself with his feet. He swings high and low. He feels the wind in his face. He laughs.
+
+"Swinging is fun," Tom agrees. "Swinging is better than catching flies."
+
+The fly sees Tom and Lily swinging. It flies away. It does not care. It does not understand. It does not listen. It just buzzes.
+Anna did not like haircuts. She liked her long hair. She liked to make braids and ponytails. She did not want to cut her hair.
+
+But Mom said she had to. Mom said her hair was too messy and tangled. Mom said she would look nice with a new haircut. Mom took her to the salon.
+
+Anna saw a lady with scissors and a comb. The lady smiled and said hello. She asked Anna to sit on a big chair. Anna did not want to. She started to cry. She shouted, "No! No haircut!"
+
+Mom tried to calm her down. She said, "It's okay, Anna. It won't hurt. It will be quick. You can choose a sticker when you're done." She gave her a hug.
+
+Anna still did not want to. She saw a boy with red hair. He had a haircut. He looked funny. She did not want to look like him. She shouted louder, "No! No red haircut!"
+
+The lady with scissors and comb said, "Don't worry, Anna. I won't cut your hair red. I will cut your hair the same color as yours. You will look beautiful. Do you want to see some pictures of haircuts?"
+
+Anna stopped crying. She looked at the pictures. She saw some girls with short hair. They looked happy. They looked pretty. She saw one with a bob. She liked it. She said, "Okay. I want that haircut."
+
+The lady with scissors and comb said, "Good choice, Anna. You will look lovely with a bob. Let's get started." She sprayed some water on Anna's hair. She combed it. She cut it. She showed Anna a mirror.
+
+Anna looked at herself. She saw her new haircut. She liked it. She smiled. She said, "Thank you. I like my haircut."
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Anna. You look wonderful. I'm proud of you. You were brave. Do you want a sticker?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, please. I want a red sticker." She picked a red sticker. She put it on her shirt. She hugged Mom. She hugged the lady with scissors and comb. She said, "Bye-bye. See you next time."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big rocks and pretend they were mountains. Sara saw a shiny rock on the ground. She picked it up and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, a pretty rock!" she said.
+
+"Wow, can I see?" Ben asked.
+
+Sara nodded and gave him the rock. He looked at it and smiled.
+
+"It is pretty. It has many colors. Can I keep it?" he asked.
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She liked the rock too, but she wanted to be nice to Ben. He was her best friend.
+
+"OK, you can keep it. But you have to share it with me sometimes," she said.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I will share it with you. Do you want to play with it now?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, let's play with it. Maybe we can find more rocks like this," Sara said.
+
+They ran to the big rocks and looked for more shiny ones. They had a lot of fun. They were playful and happy. They did not know that the shiny rock was a special rock. It was a magic rock. It could grant wishes. But they did not need to wish for anything. They had each other and the park. They had everything they wanted.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a small store. They sell herbs to their friends. Herbs are plants that smell good and taste good.
+
+One day, a new friend comes to their store. His name is Sam. He has a big hat and a long coat. He looks unique. He says, "Hello, I am Sam. I like your store. Can I buy some herbs?"
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They say, "Hello, Sam. We are Lila and Ben. We have many herbs. What do you want?"
+
+Sam looks at the herbs. He sees mint, basil, rosemary, and thyme. He says, "I want mint. Mint is my favorite herb. It smells fresh and makes me happy."
+
+Lila and Ben pick some mint for Sam. They put it in a paper bag. They say, "Here you go, Sam. That will be one coin, please."
+
+Sam gives them a coin. He says, "Thank you, Lila and Ben. You have a nice store. I will come back soon."
+
+Lila and Ben say, "You are welcome, Sam. We are happy to meet you. Come back anytime."
+
+Sam waves goodbye. He walks away with his mint. He smells it and smiles. He thinks, "Lila and Ben are nice twins. They have a unique store. I like their herbs."
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play and eat together. But sometimes they fight over toys and food. One day, they have pasta for lunch. Mom gives them each a fork and a plate.
+
+Tom wants Mia's fork. He thinks it is bigger and shinier. He grabs it from her hand. Mia gets angry. She screams very loud. She wants her fork back. She screams and screams.
+
+Mom hears the scream. She runs to the kitchen. She sees Tom and Mia fighting over the fork. She is not happy. She takes the fork from Tom and gives it back to Mia. She tells Tom to say sorry. She tells Mia to stop screaming.
+
+Tom and Mia are quiet. They feel bad. They say sorry to each other. They hug and kiss. Mom smiles. She is glad they are friends again. She tells them to eat their pasta. She hopes they will not scream anymore. She is a little deaf from the scream. She needs a rest.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She liked to pretend that she was the queen of the dollhouse and that her dolls were her friends.
+
+One day, she was playing with her dolls in the living room of the dollhouse. She had a big chair that she called her throne. She said to her dolls, "I am the queen and you are my guests. You have to do what I say. Now, seat on the floor and listen to me."
+
+But one of her dolls, Molly, did not want to seat on the floor. She said, "No, I don't want to seat on the floor. I want to seat on the throne. You are not a real queen. You are just a bossy girl."
+
+Lila was very angry. She said, "How dare you, Molly? You are a bad doll. You have to seat on the floor or I will throw you away. You are disgusting."
+
+She grabbed Molly and threw her out of the dollhouse. Molly landed on the grass and got dirty. She felt sad and scared. She wished that Lila would be nice to her and let her play with the other dolls.
+
+But Lila did not care. She said to the other dolls, "Now, who wants to be my friend and seat on the floor?" But the other dolls did not want to be her friend. They did not like how she treated Molly. They said, "No, we don't want to be your friend. You are a mean queen. You are disgusting."
+
+They all got up and left the dollhouse. They went to find Molly and help her clean up. They said, "We are sorry, Molly. You are a good doll. You can seat with us on the grass. We are your friends."
+
+Lila was left alone in the dollhouse. She looked at her empty throne and felt lonely. She wished that she had been nice to Molly and the other dolls. She said, "Maybe I am not a good queen. Maybe I am disgusting."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they saw other kids and played with them too.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and brown and had a long tail. It looked fierce and loud. It ran towards Tom and Lily and barked at them.
+
+"Stay away from us, dog!" Tom shouted. He picked up the ball and threw it at the dog. The dog caught the ball in its mouth and ran away.
+
+Lily was scared. She hugged Tom and said, "I don't like that dog. It has mean eyes. It might bite us."
+
+Tom hugged Lily back and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you. We can go to another place and play. Come on, let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked to another part of the park. They found a nice spot under a tree and played with their ball again. They were happy and safe. They did not see the fierce dog again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their dad's old record player. They put on big suits and hats and pretended to be singers. They sang funny songs and danced around the living room.
+
+One day, dad came home early and saw them playing. He smiled and said, "You two are very lovely. Do you want to record your songs and make a CD?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and clapped. They were excited. Dad took out his phone and pressed a button. He said, "OK, ready? Sing your best song for me."
+
+Ben and Lily sang their favorite song. It was about a cat and a dog who were friends. They made up the words as they went along. They sang very loud and very fast. They had a lot of fun.

+
+One day, she saw a shiny bulb in the ground. It was round and smooth and yellow. She wondered what it was. She asked her mom, but her mom was busy with the tomatoes. She decided to take the bulb and see for herself. She pulled it out of the ground and ran to her room.
+
+She put the bulb on her table and looked at it. It was pretty, but it did not do anything. She tried to open it, but it was hard and tight. She tried to shake it, but it did not make any sound. She tried to bite it, but it tasted bad. She was bored with the bulb.
+
+She heard her mom calling her name. She hid the bulb under her pillow and went to the garden. Her mom looked sad and angry. She pointed to a hole in the ground. She said, "Lila, did you steal this bulb from the garden? This is not a toy, this is a flower. It was going to grow into a beautiful daffodil, but now it is dead. You killed the flower, Lila. You should not steal things that are not yours. You should say sorry and put it back."
+
+Lila felt bad and sorry. She did not know the bulb was a flower. She did not want to kill the flower. She wanted to see the daffodil. She ran to her room and got the bulb. She gave it to her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I wanted to see the flower. I will not steal again. Can we plant another bulb?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lila. I forgive you. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Yes, we can plant another bulb, but we have to wait until next spring. Then we can see the daffodils together. They are pale yellow and bright and happy. They will make you smile, Lila. They will make me smile, too."

+
+"Anna, wait!" Ben calls. He sees Anna with the flower. He feels sorry. He gets off the bench and runs to Anna. "I'm sorry, Anna. I was mean. You can have the ball. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna looks at Ben. She sees his sorry face. She forgives him. She gives him the flower. "Thank you, Ben. I like the flower. And I like the ball. Yes, I want to play with you."

+"Yes, princess. I like to decorate. What do you want to use?" Ben said in a robot voice.
+
+Anna looked around and saw some crayons, stickers, and glitter on the table. She grabbed them and ran to the wall. "Let's use these. They are pretty and shiny. We can make the wall look like a castle."
+
+Ben followed her with his robot. He thought it was a fun game. He took some crayons and stickers and started to draw and stick them on the wall. He made a door, a window, and a flag.
+
+Anna did the same. She used glitter to make stars and flowers. She made a crown, a dress, and a necklace. She was very happy with her castle.
+
+They were so busy decorating that they did not hear their mom coming home. She opened the door and saw the mess on the wall. She was very angry and shocked.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done? You have ruined the wall with your crayons and stickers and glitter. How foolish of you! You know you are not allowed to do that. You have to clean it up right now. And no more playing with your toys today. You are in big trouble."
+
+Anna and Ben felt very sorry and scared. They did not mean to make their mom mad. They thought they were just playing. They looked at their wall and realized it did not look like a castle.

+
+"Look, my shark is hungry. He wants to eat your fish!" Ben says. He makes his shark swim fast towards Lily's fish.
+
+"No, no, no! My fish is too smart. He can swim away from your shark!" Lily says. She moves her fish around the bowl.
+
+But Ben's shark is faster. He catches Lily's fish and bites it. Lily's fish stops moving.
+
+"Oh no! You made my fish dead!" Lily cries. She takes her fish out of the water and hugs it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make your fish dead. It was just a game." Ben says. He feels bad.
+
+"Can you make my fish alive again?" Lily asks. She looks at Ben with big eyes.
+
+Ben thinks hard. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can make your fish alive again. We can use magic!" He says. He finds a stick and waves it over the fish.
+
+"Abracadabra! Fish, be alive!" He says.
+
+Lily watches. She sees her fish wiggle a little. She smiles.
+
+"Wow! You did it! You made my fish alive again!" She says. She puts her fish back in the water and plays with it.

+One day, Tom went to a big park with his owner. There were many other dogs and people there. Tom wanted to play with them and show his tricks. He ran and barked and jumped and rolled. He had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tom saw a big ball. It was red and shiny and round. Tom loved balls. He wanted to catch it and play with it. He ran after the ball, but he did not see a rock on the ground. He tripped over the rock and hurt his toe. He yelped and limped and felt sad.
+
+His owner came and picked him up. He checked his toe and said it was not too bad. He gave him a treat and a hug and said he was a good dog. He carried him to a shady spot under a tree. He put a blanket on him and said he should rest.
+
+Tom felt better. He licked his owner's face and wagged his tail. He settled on the blanket and closed his eyes. He dreamed of balls and tricks and treats and hugs. He was a famous dog, but he was also a happy dog.
+Tom and Mia are playing hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Mia is the hider. Mia runs behind a big tree and waits for Tom to find her. She is very quiet and still.
+
+Tom looks around the park and tries to see where Mia is. He sees a lot of things: a swing, a slide, a bench, a fountain, a flower, a bird, a dog, a ball, but he does not see Mia. He thinks Mia is very good at hiding.
+
+He walks closer to the big tree and hears a small sound. He thinks it is Mia. He decides to peek behind the tree and surprise her. He tiptoes to the tree and says: "Boo!"
+
+But when he peeks behind the tree, he does not see Mia. He sees a weird animal. It has a long neck, a big head, a small body, and a long tail. It has spots all over its skin. It has a pattern like a giraffe, but it is not a giraffe. It is much smaller and has horns on its head. It looks at Tom with big eyes and makes a funny noise.
+
+Tom is very surprised and scared. He screams and runs away from the tree. He thinks the animal is a monster. He looks for Mia and shouts: "Mia, Mia, where are you? There is a monster behind the tree!"
+
+Mia hears Tom and comes out from her hiding place. She is not behind the tree. She is behind the bench. She sees Tom running and the animal behind the tree. She laughs and says: "Tom, that is not a monster. That is a baby okapi. It is a kind of animal that lives in the forest. It is very rare and cute. It is not scary at all. Come and see!"
+
+Tom stops running and looks at Mia. He does not believe her. He thinks she is joking. He says: "Mia, are you sure? It looks very weird. How do you know what it is?"
+
+Mia says: "I know because I saw it in a book. It is a real animal. It is not a toy or a drawing. It is here because the park has a zoo. The zoo has many animals from different places. The baby okapi must have escaped from its cage. We should tell someone. Maybe they are looking for it."
+
+Tom says: "Oh, I see. I did not know that. I am sorry for screaming. I was just scared. It does look cute now that I look at it again. Can we go and say hello to it?"
+
+Mia says: "Sure, but we have to be careful and gentle. It might be shy and nervous. It is not used to people. Maybe we can give it some grass or leaves to eat. It might like that."
+
+Tom and Mia walk slowly to the tree and smile at the baby okapi. The baby okapi looks at them and makes a soft noise. It seems curious and friendly. It sniffs their hands and takes a bite of the grass. Tom and Mia giggle and pet its head. They think it is very soft and warm. They like the baby okapi. They forget about their game and make a new friend.

+
+"Look, I found a big one!" Tim said, holding up a long, slimy worm.
+
+"Wow, that's enormous!" Lily said. "Let's put it in the bucket."
+
+They ran to the bucket and dropped the worm inside. They saw something move in the bucket. It was not a worm. It was a snake!
+
+"Ah!" Tim and Lily screamed. They felt a shock in their hearts. They dropped the bucket and ran away.
+
+Their mom heard them scream and came out of the house. She saw the bucket and the snake. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim, Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "That's a dangerous snake! Where did you find it?"
+
+Tim and Lily were scared and sorry. They told their mom they were looking for worms. They did not know there was a snake in the bucket.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful. You can't play with snakes. They can bite you and make you sick. Next time, ask me before you bring anything home."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to prepare a different surprise for their mom. They picked some flowers and gave them to her. She smiled and said, "That's very sweet. Thank you. I love you."

+
+One day, Anna sees her mom's new perfume on the dresser. It is in a shiny bottle with a pink bow. Anna wants to try it, but her mom is not home. She thinks her mom will not mind if she uses a little bit.
+
+She rushes to the dresser and grabs the bottle. She opens it and sprays it on herself. But the perfume is not what she expects. It smells bad, like soap and vinegar. Anna coughs and sneezes. She does not like it at all.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom says, coming into the room. She sees Anna with the bottle and the perfume on the floor. She is angry. "That is not perfume, Anna. That is cleaner. It is for the bathroom, not for you. It can hurt your skin and eyes. You should never touch it."
+
+Anna feels sorry and scared. She did not know it was cleaner. She thought it was perfume. She starts to cry. "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to smell like a princess. I did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Her mom hugs her and wipes her tears. She checks her skin and eyes. She is glad Anna is not hurt. She says, "It's okay, Anna. I know you did not know. But you have to be careful with things you don't know. And you don't need perfume to smell like a princess. You already smell sweet and lovely, just like you are."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the porch. They had a lot of fun making noises and racing each other. But then Tom wanted to play with Lily's red car, and Lily said no.

+
+"Give me my car, Tom! It's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine now! You have too many cars!" Tom shouted back.
+
+They both started to yell and pull the car, until it broke in half. Then they both stopped and looked at the broken car. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean and impatient. I shouldn't have taken your car." Tom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I was selfish and rude. I should have shared my car with you." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. Then they decided to fix the car together with some tape and glue. They learned to forgive each other and share their toys. They went back to playing on the porch, happy and friendly.

+
+One day, Tom and Anna are bored. They have no new toys and books. They look at the calendar. They see a picture of a fire. The fire is red and orange and yellow. It looks pretty and warm.
+
+"Let's make a fire," Tom says.
+
+"How?" Anna asks.
+
+"We can use the calendar," Tom says. "We can tear the pages and make a pile. Then we can use a match and burn the pile."
+
+"That sounds fun," Anna says.
+
+They tear the pages from the calendar and make a pile on the floor. They find a match in the kitchen. They open the match box and take out a match. Tom strikes the match on the box. It makes a spark and a flame.
+
+"Wow," Tom says.
+
+He puts the match on the pile of pages. The pages catch fire. They burn and make smoke and noise.
+
+"Wow," Anna says.
+
+They watch the fire. They feel the heat. They smell the smoke. They hear the crackle.
+
+They do not see Mom coming. Mom sees the fire. She is angry and scared.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom shouts. "You are making a fire in the house! You are very naughty! You could get hurt! You could burn the house!"
+
+She runs to the fire. She grabs a blanket. She throws the blanket on the fire. She puts out the fire. She takes the match box and the calendar. She throws them in the trash.
+
+She looks at Tom and Anna. They are sad and sorry. They cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Anna says.
+
+Mom hugs them. She is still angry, but she loves them.
+
+"I'm glad you are safe," Mom says. "But you should never play with fire. Fire is dangerous. Fire can burn you and the house. Fire is not a toy. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Mom," Anna says.
+
+Mom takes them to the couch. She sits with them. She reads them a story. She tells them to be good and careful. She kisses them. She says she loves them.

+
+"I don't care. The dog is nice and soft." Lily says. She hugs the dog.
+
+Tom and Lily start to argue. Tom thinks the dog is too smelly to play with. Lily thinks the dog is cute and friendly. They raise their voices and push each other.
+

+
+"What are you doing to my dog?" He asks.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to pet your dog." Lily says.
+
+"But your dog is smelly!" Tom says.
+
+The man looks at his dog. He smells his dog. He frowns.
+
+"You are right, kid. My dog is smelly. He needs a bath." He says.
+
+He puts a leash on his dog. He thanks Tom and Lily for playing with his dog. He says he will take his dog home and wash him.
+

+
+They decide to play something else in the park. They are friends again.

+Once upon a time, a hairy fisherman stumbled by the lakeside. He stopped by the lake, bending down so his hand almost touched the water. He seemed very interested in something he saw, but the little kids playing nearby couldn't figure it out.

+The fisherman nodded and pointed towards the lake. He said, "I think I saw a fishy jumping, jumping!"

+The kids laughed, excited at the thought of fishing. But the fisherman said, "No, this is bad! It's not a good sign. Something bad will happen if I catch the fish."
+
+The children were confused. Yet the fisherman was serious, with a dark expression on his face. As he turned away from the lake, he said, "Let's go home and keep our eyes open."
+
+The children followed the hairy fisherman all the way home, feeling a little scared, unsure of what the fisherman had seen. Then, late that night, a huge storm thrashed their village, completely destroying it.

+The fisherman paused and pondered what to do with the bird - should he let it free back into the lake or keep it as a pet? After a while, the fisherman decided to let the bird go and be free in the lake. 
+
+As the bird flew away, the fisherman felt very satisfied. He had done the right thing and knew that the bird would now be much happier. This decision also made the fisherman feel happy and he went home with a big smile on his face.

+"Mommy, what's that?" asked Tara, pointing at the ground. 
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's a pattern! It's very cool, isn't it?" 
+
+Tara was amazed by the pattern and said, "It's pretty! Can I make more patterns like it?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "Sure. Follow me, I'll show you."
+
+Tara and her mom wandered around the park, and Tara's mom showed her how to make patterns out of leaves and stones. Tara was so excited and tried to make a pattern of her own. Tara looked very proud of her pattern, and her mom was happy too. 
+
+Suddenly, Tara spotted something else on the ground. It was a sparkly stone and it caught Tara's eye. She picked it up, and soon she noticed something else. There were sparkles all around the stone and it looked like it was in the middle of a bigger pattern. Could it be a secret pattern? Tara was filled with wonder and she was so excited about what the pattern could be!

+One day, John went outside and began exploring the garden. As he was walking around, he spotted a butterfly flying around. He was so excited, he started running after it.
+
+John's mom watched him and called out, "John! Be careful! You might get lost!"
+John smiled and said, "I'm okay, Mom! I am going to catch the butterfly!"
+John ran, trying to catch the butterfly, but he couldn't. The butterfly flew away and out of sight.
+
+John's mom smiled. She knew he was adventurous, but she had to be extra careful. She walked up to him and said, "John, sweetheart. Let's go back inside and have some dinner now."

+
+The motor said, "Well, I'm trying to read, but I can't see the words because I'm too hairy."

+The old man said, "Hmm, let me help you out. I can shave all of your hair off, so that you can read what you need to."

+
+When they reached the theater, Joe was in awe. It was very grand and beautiful. He wanted to try praying right away. His mom told him that it was very easy to pray as all he had to do was close his eyes and think of the things he wanted to ask God.

+The boy picked the coin and snapped it in two. To his surprise, it stayed together! He was so happy, it made him skip home. When he got home, he put the two pieces of the coin in a safe spot and soon, it brought the boy a life filled with success and joy!

+They went back to their blocks. They decided to make a new structure. They made a smaller castle. They left some space for the cat. They invited him to join them. They played together happily.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. One day, her mom gave her a knife and some celery. She told Anna to cut the celery into small pieces for the soup.
+
+Anna was happy to cut the celery. She liked the sound of the knife on the board. She liked the smell of the celery. She cut and cut and cut. But she did not listen to her mom. Her mom told her to be careful with the knife. Her mom told her to cut the celery into very small pieces. Her mom told her to stop when she had enough.
+
+But Anna was stubborn. She thought she knew better. She thought she could cut faster and bigger. She did not stop when she had enough. She cut and cut and cut. She cut too much celery. She cut too big pieces. She cut her finger.
+
+Anna cried out loud. She dropped the knife and the celery. She ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and put a bandage on her finger. She told Anna that she was sorry. She told Anna that she loved her. She told Anna that she should listen to her mom. She told Anna that cutting is not a game. She told Anna that being stubborn can hurt.
+
+Anna felt sorry. She felt pain in her finger. She felt love from her mom. She learned a lesson. She said sorry to her mom. She said she would listen to her mom. She said she would be careful with the knife. She said she would cut the celery into small pieces. She said she would help her mom make the soup. She said she wanted to be a good cook like her mom.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They loved to see the birds, the flowers, the trees and the bugs in nature. They were eager to learn new things and have fun.
+
+One day, they found a shiny stone in the grass. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sun. Lily and Ben both wanted to have it.
+
+"It's mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I picked it up first!"
+
+They started to pull and tug at the stone, each trying to own it. They did not share or say please or thank you. They did not listen or talk nicely. They were angry and rude.
+
+Suddenly, the stone slipped from their hands and rolled down a hill. They ran after it, but it was too fast. It bounced into a pond and sank to the bottom. Lily and Ben could not see it anymore.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sad. They had lost the stone and their friendship. They wished they had been kind and fair.
+
+They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play together again and not fight over things. They learned that nature is for everyone to enjoy and that friendship is more important than owning things.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the bathroom. They see many things on the shelf. They see soap, toothpaste, and a razor.
+
+"What is this?" Sam asks, holding the razor.
+
+"It is for shaving," Ben says. "Dad uses it to make his face smooth."
+
+"Can I try it?" Sam asks.
+
+"No, it is sharp. It can hurt you," Ben says.
+
+Sam does not listen. He puts the razor on his cheek. He feels a sting. He sees blood. He cries.
+
+"Sam, what did you do?" Ben says. He runs to get Mom.
+
+Mom comes and sees Sam. She is scared. She takes the razor from him. She puts a band-aid on his cut. She hugs him.
+
+"Sam, you are very lucky. The razor could have cut you deeper. You should never touch it. It is not a toy," Mom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. It looked fun," Sam says.
+
+"Next time, listen to your brother. He was trying to help you. He reminds me of Dad. He is very smart and careful," Mom says.
+
+Ben smiles. He is grateful that Sam is okay. He is grateful that Mom is proud of him. He hugs Sam and Mom. They love each other.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big box under a tree. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. They were very happy and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, holding a necklace with a blue stone. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"And this!" Tom said, picking up a watch with a red light. "It can tell the time!"
+
+They decided to keep the box a secret. They did not want anyone else to find it or take it. They hid the box under some leaves and made a promise.
+
+"We will never forget our secret, right?" Lily asked.
+
+"Right!" Tom said. "We are the best friends ever!"
+
+They hugged and went home, feeling very proud of their secret.
+
+The next day, they came back to the park to play with their shiny things. But when they got to the tree, they saw a big problem. The box was gone! Someone had found it and taken it away. They looked around and saw a man walking away with the box in his hands.
+
+"Hey, that's our box!" Lily shouted, running after the man.
+
+"Give it back!" Tom yelled, following her.
+
+But the man did not listen. He got into a car and drove away, leaving Lily and Tom behind. They were very sad and angry. They had lost their secret and their shiny things. They had broken their promise. They felt very bad.
+
+They sat on the ground and cried. They wished they had never found the box. They wished they had never forgotten their secret. They wished they had never been so proud. They had no more friends. They had no more fun. They had nothing. The end.

+
+"His name is Rex," Ben says. "He is a smart dog. He can do tricks."
+
+"Really?" Anna says. "Can he sit?"
+
+Ben nods. He says to the dog, "Rex, sit!"
+
+The dog sits and looks at Ben.
+
+"Wow, he is intelligent!" Anna says. "Can he fetch?"
+
+Ben nods again. He takes a stick from the ground and throws it. He says to the dog, "Rex, fetch!"
+
+The dog runs and catches the stick. He brings it back to Ben.
+
+"Good boy, Rex!" Ben says. He pets the dog.
+
+Anna claps her hands. She says, "He is amazing! Can he ride a bike?"
+
+Ben laughs. He says, "No, he can't ride a bike. He is a dog, not a person."
+
+Anna laughs too. She says, "I know, I know. I was joking. But he is still a very intelligent dog. Can we play with him some more?"
+
+Ben says, "Sure, we can. But first, let's ask his owner if it's okay."
+
+They look around and see a woman sitting on a bench. She is holding a leash. She smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hi, kids!" she says. "Do you like my dog, Rex?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we do! He is a very intelligent dog. He can do tricks. Can we play with him, please?"
+
+The woman says, "Of course, you can. He likes to play with friendly kids. But be careful, he might try to take your basket, Anna. He likes to carry things in his mouth."
+
+Anna says, "That's okay. I don't mind. He can have my book. It's about dogs. Maybe he can learn something from it."
+
+The woman says, "That's very kind of you, Anna. But I don't think he can read. He is a dog, after all."
+
+Anna says, "I know, I know. I was joking again. But he is still a very intelligent dog. And we are his new friends."
+
+The woman says, "Yes, you are. And I'm glad you are. Rex loves to make new friends. And so do I. My name is Lisa. What are your names?"
+
+Anna and Ben say their names. They introduce themselves to Lisa. They talk and laugh and play with Rex. They have a lot of fun. They ride their bikes with Rex running beside them. They are happy. They are friends.

+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we need to leave some space for us. We can sit on the soft pillows in the back."
+
+They start to fill the van with toys. They put the dolls in the front, the cars in the middle, the books on the side, and the blocks on the floor. They also take some snacks and water for the trip.

+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They both had tomato plants that they watered and watched every day. They wanted to see who would grow the biggest tomato.
+
+One day, Lily saw that her tomato was very big and red. She was happy and ran to show Ben. "Look, Ben, look at my tomato! It is bigger than yours! I win, I win!" she shouted.
+
+But Ben did not hear her. He was deaf and could not hear any sounds. He only saw Lily's mouth moving and her hands waving. He felt sad and confused. He did not know what she was saying.
+
+Lily saw that Ben did not answer. She remembered that he was deaf and felt sorry. She realized that she was not being a good friend. She did not want to make Ben feel bad. She wanted to share her tomato with him.
+
+She ran to Ben and gave him a hug. She pointed to her tomato and then to his. She smiled and signed with her hands: "Your tomato is good too. We both win. We are friends."
+
+Ben smiled back and signed: "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I like your tomato. We can share."
+
+Lily and Ben cut their tomatoes and ate them together. They were both happy and proud of their plants. They learned that winning is not always important. Being kind and sharing is more important.

+
+Mom came back to the room. She saw the mess. She saw the sad twins. She said, "Sara and Ben, you see what happens when you are not organized. You waste your paint and your brushes. You spoil your pictures and your room. You do not have fun with paint anymore. You have to be organized. You have to take care of your things. You have to respect your space. You have to learn from your mistake."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, you are right. We have to be organized. We have to clean our brushes and put away our paint. We have to pick up our pictures and put them in a folder. We have to take care of our things. We have to respect our space. We have to learn from our mistake. We are sorry, mom. Can you help us?"

+
+Tom and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We were just playing. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+The man is still angry, but he sees that they are young and did not mean any harm. He says, "Well, you should not play with things that are not yours. And you should not play with things that can hurt you or others. This is a hunting arrow. It is not a toy. It is made of steel. It is very strong and sharp. It can make loud noises and big holes. You are lucky you did not hurt yourself or anyone else. Now, give me back my arrow and go home. And do not touch it again."
+
+Tom and Mia give back the steel arrow. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We will not touch it again. We will go home now."
+
+The man takes his arrow and goes back to his hunting. Tom and Mia go back to their home. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom is glad that they are safe. She hugs them and says, "I am glad you are safe, my loves. But you should not play with things that you do not know. And you should listen to your sister. She is older and wiser than you.

+
+Tom and Mia say, "Yes, mom. We will listen to you and to Mia. We will play with our toy bow and arrows. We like them better than the steel arrow. They are fun and safe. And they are ours."
+Tom and Sue wanted to go to the moon. They had a big rocket in their backyard. They had to pack some things to take with them.
+
+"Let's pack some food and water and toys," Tom said.
+
+"And some blankets and pillows and books," Sue said.

+
+"Look, Mom, look! A car!" Tom shouted.
+
+Mom came to Tom and saw the dirty toy car. She frowned.
+
+"Tom, put that down. That toy is dirty and old. It does not belong to you. It belongs to the vendor. He sells it for money," Mom said.
+
+"But I want it, Mom. I want it!" Tom cried.
+
+"Tom, listen to Mom. You have many toys at home. You do not need this toy. It is not nice to take things that are not yours. Say sorry to the vendor and give him back the toy," Mom said.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He did not want to give back the toy. He wanted to keep it. He held the toy car tightly in his hand.
+
+The vendor saw Tom and his Mom. He was not happy. He came to them and said in a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, kid, what are you doing with my toy? That is mine. Give it back to me. Now!"
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the toy car and ran to Mom. He hugged Mom and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, vendor. I was bad. I won't do it again," Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and respectful. You have to ask before you touch things that are not yours. And you have to keep yourself and your toys clean. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He understood. He said sorry to the vendor again. The vendor nodded and smiled. He gave Tom a balloon. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. Tom liked the balloon. He thanked the vendor and Mom. He held the balloon and walked with Mom and Lily. He was happy. He learned a lesson.

+
+They saw a big tree with many fruits. The fruits were red, yellow and green. They looked yummy and juicy. Lily and Tom admired the fruits. They wanted to taste them.

+
+They were restless. They wanted the fruits so much. They felt sad and hungry.
+
+Then, they saw a nice lady. She had a basket. She was picking the fruits from the tree. She smiled at Lily and Tom. She asked them if they wanted some fruits. They nodded and said yes.

+
+"I don't know," Ben says. He looks around. "Maybe they belong to someone else. Maybe they will come back soon."
+
+Lily picks up the ball and throws it to Ben. "Let's play catch. It will be fun. They won't mind if we do."
+
+Ben catches the ball and throws it back to Lily. "Okay, but only for a little while. Then we have to put them back in the basket."

+
+"Sorry, we didn't know," Lily says. She drops the ball. "We were just playing."
+
+"Well, you shouldn't play with other people's things. That's not nice. These are my toys. Go away!" The boy says. He puts the toys back in the basket and walks away.

+Tom and Anna like to play with their blocks. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They try to fit the blocks into the holes on the board. Sometimes the blocks fit, and sometimes they do not.
+
+"Look, Anna, I fit the blue star into the star hole!" Tom says. He is happy.
+
+"Good job, Tom! Can you fit the red circle into the circle hole?" Anna asks. She holds the red circle in her hand.
+
+Tom takes the red circle from Anna and tries to fit it into the circle hole. But the circle is too big. It does not fit.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, the circle is too big. It does not fit. Try another hole." Anna says.
+
+Tom looks at the board. He sees a hole that looks like a post. It is long and thin. He thinks the circle might fit there.
+
+"Maybe the circle can fit into the post hole." Tom says. He pushes the circle into the post hole. But the circle is too round. It does not fit.
+
+"Oops, Tom, the circle is too round. It does not fit. The post hole is for the post block." Anna says. She shows Tom the post block. It is long and thin like the post hole.
+
+Tom takes the post block from Anna and fits it into the post hole. It fits perfectly.
+
+"Yay, Tom, you did it! The post block fits into the post hole. You are smart!" Anna says. She claps her hands.

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and catch bad guys. They had toy guns that made noise when they pulled the trigger. They ran and hid behind trees and benches, looking for enemies.
+
+"Look, Tom, there's a shadow over there!" Lily whispered, pointing to a dark shape on the wall. "Maybe it's a bad guy. Let's shoot him!"
+
+Tom nodded and followed Lily. They crept closer to the shadow, holding their guns ready. They counted to three and jumped out, shouting "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
+
+But the shadow did not move. It was not a bad guy. It was a bike leaning against the wall. Lily and Tom felt silly.
+
+"Oops, we made a mistake," Lily said, laughing. "It's just a bike, not a bad guy."
+
+Tom did not laugh. He was stubborn. He did not like to be wrong. He still thought the bike was a bad guy.
+
+"No, it's not a bike, it's a bad guy," he said, shooting the bike again. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
+
+Lily rolled her eyes. She knew Tom was stubborn. She decided to play along.
+
+"Okay, okay, it's a bad guy," she said, shooting the bike too. "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

+"Hello, raven!" she said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The raven looked at Lia and Sam. It croaked. It did not fly away.
+
+"Maybe it likes us too," Sam said. "Let's go closer."
+
+They walked slowly to the tree. The raven watched them. It tilted its head. It opened its beak.
+
+"What do you think it is saying?" Lia asked.
+
+Sam shrugged. He did not know. He decided to try something.
+
+"Can you do this?" he asked the raven. He bent his arms and legs. He twisted his body. He was very flexible.
+
+The raven blinked. It did not do the same. It croaked again.
+

+
+But when they got to the checkout, the lady who scanned the items saw the cake. She asked mom if she wanted to pay for it, and mom was surprised.

+
+"Go away, bear!" the bird said. "These are my berries. I found them first. You can find your own food."
+
+The bear did not listen. He was angry and wanted to serve the bird as his lunch. He shook the branch hard and made the bird lose his balance. The bird was scared and flew away.
+
+The bear smiled and ate all the berries. He was happy and full. He did not see the bee hive that was hanging from the branch. He did not hear the buzzing of the angry bees. He did not feel the stings until it was too late.

+
+"Yes, Mommy, we are okay, but we are very wet and very scared," Lily says.
+
+"And the hose was very loud and very strong," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, my darlings, the hose was not for playing. It was for watering the plants. You should have asked us before using it," Daddy says.
+
+"We are sorry, Daddy, we didn't know," Lily and Ben say.
+
+"It's okay, we forgive you. But next time, please be careful and ask us first. Now let's go inside and get you dry and warm," Mommy says.

+They saw a big lake in the valley. It looked very blue and shiny. Tom said, "Let's dive in the lake and swim. It will be cool and fun." Mia said, "But we don't have our swimsuits. And we don't know how deep the lake is. Maybe it is not safe."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be scared. I can dive very well. Watch me." He ran to the edge of the lake and jumped in. He made a big splash. He came up and said, "See? It is not hard. Come on, Mia. Dive with me."
+
+Mia was not sure. She walked to the edge of the lake and looked down. She saw something shiny at the bottom of the lake. She said, "What is that? It looks like a treasure. Maybe we can find it and keep it."
+
+Tom said, "Let's dive and see. Maybe it is gold or jewels. We can be rich and buy anything we want." He dived again and swam to the bottom. He reached for the shiny thing. But it was not a treasure. It was a sharp metal can. It cut his hand and made him bleed. He cried out in pain and swam back to the surface.
+
+Mia saw him and was scared. She said, "Tom, are you okay? What happened?" Tom said, "It was a trap. It was not a treasure. It was a can. It hurt me. I want to go home."
+
+Mia helped him out of the lake. She wrapped his hand with her shirt. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. We should have listened to our parents. They told us not to dive in strange places. We should have been careful and smart. We should have been happy with what we have."
+
+Tom said, "You are right, Mia. We were foolish and greedy. We learned a hard lesson. Let's go home and tell our parents. Maybe they can help us and forgive us."

+They walked back to their house, holding hands. They felt sorry and sad. They hoped they would heal and be friends again. They hoped they would never dive in the new valley again.

+One day, they see something new in the park. It is long and thin and has no legs. It moves on the ground like a worm. It is a snake.
+
+"Look, a snake!" Tom says. He runs to the snake. He wants to touch it.
+
+"No, Tom, don't!" Mia says. She is scared of the snake. She thinks it can bite. She stays away from the snake.
+
+Tom does not listen to Mia. He is rude. He reaches out his hand to the snake. The snake does not like Tom. It hisses and shows its teeth.
+
+"Go away, rude boy!" the snake says. It is a talking snake. Tom is surprised. He is also afraid. He runs back to Mia.
+
+"Sorry, Mia, you were right," Tom says. He hugs Mia. He does not want to play with the snake anymore.
+
+Mia hugs Tom back. She is glad Tom is safe. She does not like the snake either.
+
+"Let's go play somewhere else," Mia says. "The snake is rude and mean."
+
+Tom and Mia leave the snake alone. They go to play with their friends. They have fun in the park. They do not watch the snake again.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the garden. They liked to kick the ball to each other and see how far it would go. Sometimes the ball would go over the fence and they would have to ask the neighbor to give it back.
+
+One day, Lily kicked the ball very hard. She wanted to show Ben how powerful she was. But the ball did not go to Ben. It went up, up, up in the air. It went so high that it hit the roof of the house. The ball bounced off the roof and landed on the other side of the garden.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to get the ball. They were afraid that they had broken the roof. They looked up and saw a hole in the roof. They saw some tiles falling down. They heard a loud noise from inside the house.
+
+They ran to the door and knocked. They wanted to say sorry to their mom and dad. But no one answered. They opened the door and saw a big mess. The ball had gone through the roof and into the living room. It had knocked over a lamp, a vase, and a picture. It had made a dent in the wall.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They picked up the ball and put it away. They tried to clean up the mess. They waited for their mom and dad to come home. They hoped they would not be too angry. They learned a lesson. They decided to never kick the ball so hard again.
+Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Sam is a good player. He can kick the ball far and fast. Tom is a rough player. He likes to push and pull other players. He does not know how to share the ball.
+
+One day, Sam and Tom are playing soccer with some other kids. Tom has the ball. He runs to the goal. He sees Sam in his way. He does not pass the ball to Sam. He tries to push Sam down. Sam does not like that. He says, "Stop, Tom! That is not nice. You are hurting me. You have to share the ball."
+
+Tom does not listen. He says, "No, Sam. I want to score. I am the best player. You are too slow. Go away." He pushes Sam harder. Sam falls to the ground. He cries. He is sad and angry. He says, "Tom, you are a bad friend. You are too rough. You do not know how to play soccer. You do not know how to be nice. I do not want to play with you anymore."
+
+The other kids hear Sam and Tom. They come to see what is wrong. They see Sam on the ground and Tom with the ball. They do not like what Tom did. They say, "Tom, you are mean. You are not a good player. You are a bully. You have to say sorry to Sam. You have to play fair."
+
+Tom feels bad. He sees that he made Sam cry. He sees that the other kids are mad at him. He does not want to lose his friends. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I was too rough. I should have shared the ball. I should have been nice. Can you forgive me? Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sam looks at Tom. He sees that Tom is sorry. He sees that Tom wants to be his friend. He says, "I forgive you, Tom. You are my friend. But you have to be careful. You have to be gentle. You have to play nice. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "I can do that, Sam. I will do that. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for being my friend." He gives the ball to Sam. He says, "Here, Sam. You can have the ball. You can score. You are a good player. You are a good friend."
+
+Sam smiles. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend, too. Come on, let's play. Let's have fun." He kicks the ball to Tom. They play together. They share the ball. They are nice to each other. They are happy. The other kids are happy, too. They all play soccer in the park. They all have fun. They all are friends.
+Lily and Sam liked to play in the pool. They had a big ball and a yellow duck. They threw the ball and caught it. They made the duck swim and quack. They had fun.
+
+One day, Mom gave them a lemon. She said it was sour. Lily and Sam wanted to try it. They cut it in half and squeezed it. They made a face. It was very sour. They did not like it.
+
+They had an idea. They threw the lemon in the pool. It made a splash. They laughed. They swam to the lemon and pushed it. It made more splashes. They liked it.
+
+But then, the lemon made the pool sour too. Lily and Sam tasted the water. They made a face again. They did not like it. They got out of the pool. They were sad.
+
+Mom saw them. She asked what was wrong. They told her about the lemon. She smiled. She said it was okay. She had a hose. She sprayed the pool with fresh water. She made the water wide and clean. She said they could play again.
+
+Lily and Sam were happy. They thanked Mom. They hugged her. They went back to the pool. They played with the ball and the duck. They did not play with the lemon. They had fun.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to look at the birds and guess their names. Ben saw a big black bird on a tree. He pointed and said, "Look, Mia, what is that bird?"
+
+Mia looked up and saw the bird. She knew it was a raven. She had seen one in a book. She said, "That is a raven, Ben. It has a big beak and shiny feathers. It can make loud noises."
+
+Ben wanted to hear the raven make a noise. He said, "Hello, raven, can you talk to us?" He waved his hand at the bird.
+
+The raven did not talk. It looked at Ben and Mia with its black eyes. It was very hot that day. The raven was thirsty. It saw Ben's juice box on the bench. It wanted to drink the juice.
+
+The raven flew down from the tree. It landed on the bench. It grabbed the juice box with its beak. It flew away with the juice.
+
+Ben and Mia were surprised. They ran after the raven. They shouted, "Hey, raven, that is our juice! Give it back!"
+
+But the raven did not give it back. It drank the juice and threw the box on the ground. It flew to another tree and cawed.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad. They had no more juice. They learned that ravens are smart and sneaky. They decided to be more careful with their things. They also decided to guess other birds that were nicer.
+Lily liked to make things. She made dolls from socks, houses from boxes, and cakes from mud. She had many things to play with, but she did not like to share. She was bossy and wanted to tell everyone what to do.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Tom to play with her. She showed him all her things and said, "This is my doll, this is my house, this is my cake. You can look, but you cannot touch. You can only play with what I say."
+
+Tom did not like that. He wanted to play with the doll, the house, and the cake. He said, "That is not fair. You have so many things, and I have none. Why can't we share and have fun?"
+
+Lily did not listen. She said, "No, no, no. You have to do what I say. I am the boss, and you are the helper. You can help me make more things, but you cannot play with them."
+
+Tom did not want to help. He wanted to play. He said, "You are not the boss. You are just bossy. You are not a good friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." He got up and left.
+
+Lily was sad. She looked at all her things and realized that they were not fun without a friend. She wished she had been nicer to Tom. She decided to make something for him. She made a card from paper and crayons, and wrote, "I am sorry. Can we be friends?" She ran after Tom and gave him the card.
+
+Tom was surprised. He looked at the card and smiled. He said, "Thank you. That is very nice of you. I am sorry, too. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. We can share and have fun. You can play with anything you want."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged. They went back to Lily's house and played with the doll, the house, and the cake. They made more things and shared them. They were happy and not bossy. They were good friends.
+Lily and Tom are playing with paper. They want to make animals with paper. Lily likes to fold paper. She folds a big paper into a square. Then she folds the corners to make a triangle. She folds the triangle again and again. She makes a paper lion.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a lion!" Lily says. She shows Tom her paper lion. It has a mane, a tail and ears.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your lion is very good!" Tom says. He likes Lily's lion. He wants to make a lion too. He takes a paper and tries to fold it like Lily. But he does not fold it well. His paper lion is crooked and wrinkled.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a lion too!" Tom says. He shows Lily his paper lion. It has a mane, a tail and ears, but they are not neat.
+
+Lily looks at Tom's paper lion. She does not like it. She thinks it is ugly and smelly. She makes a face.
+
+"Tom, your lion is not good. It is ugly and smelly. It does not look like a lion. It looks like a rat!" Lily says. She is mean to Tom.
+
+Tom feels sad. He likes his paper lion. He thinks it is cute and funny. He does not think it is ugly and smelly. He does not think it looks like a rat. He is angry at Lily.
+
+"Lily, you are not nice. You are mean. My lion is not ugly and smelly. It is cute and funny. It does not look like a rat. It looks like a lion. You are a bad friend!" Tom says. He is loud to Lily.
+
+Lily and Tom start to fight. They yell at each other. They throw paper at each other. They are not happy. They are not friends.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a big lake with many animals. They saw ducks, fish, frogs and a great hippo. The hippo was very big and had a long nose and big teeth.
+
+"Look at the hippo!" Tom said. "He is so great! I want to touch him!"
+
+"No, Tom, don't!" Sam said. "The hippo is not a toy. He can be angry and hurt you. We should stay away from him."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He ran to the lake and threw a stick at the hippo. The hippo did not like that. He opened his mouth and roared. He splashed water at Tom and chased him.
+
+Tom was scared. He ran back to Sam, but he was wet and muddy. He slipped and fell. He cried and said, "Help me, Sam!"
+
+Sam helped Tom to get up. He hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. But you should not have bothered the hippo. He was just resting in the lake. He did not want to play with you. You should be kind and respectful to the animals. They have feelings too."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I learned my lesson. I will not throw sticks at the hippo or any other animal again. I will be nice to them."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "That's good, Tom. I'm glad you understand. Come on, let's go home and clean up. Maybe we can come back another day and watch the animals from a safe distance."
+
+They held hands and walked home. They had learned a valuable lesson that day: to treat the animals with kindness and respect.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of mud in the yard. Lily wanted to jump in it and make splashes. Ben wanted to stay on the grass and read his book.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's have some fun!" Lily said. "The mud is soft and wet and squishy. We can make mud pies and mud castles and mud monsters."
+
+"No, thank you, Lily," Ben said. "The mud is dirty and sticky and icky. It will soak our clothes and shoes and hair. We will have to take a bath and wash them all. I like my book better. It has pictures and words and stories."
+
+Lily thought Ben was lazy and boring. She ran to the puddle and jumped in it with a big splash. She laughed and giggled and rolled in the mud. She made mud pies and mud castles and mud monsters. She had a lot of fun.
+
+Ben thought Lily was silly and messy. He stayed on the grass and read his book. He learned about animals and plants and stars. He had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, the sun went behind a cloud and the wind blew cold. Lily felt wet and cold and shivery. She wanted to get out of the mud and go inside. She called to Ben for help.
+
+"Ben, Ben, please help me!" Lily said. "The mud is cold and heavy and hard. I can't get out of it. I'm stuck and I'm cold and I'm scared."
+
+Ben heard Lily and put down his book. He ran to the puddle and saw Lily covered in mud. He felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. He reached out his hand and pulled her out of the mud. He hugged her and comforted her.
+
+"Lily, Lily, it's okay," Ben said. "I'm here, I'm here. Don't be scared. We'll go inside and get warm and dry. We'll take a bath and wash the mud off. We'll have some hot chocolate and cookies. It will be okay."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She was glad he was her brother. She hugged him back and apologized.
+
+"Ben, Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I was silly and messy. I should have listened to you. You were right. The mud was dirty and sticky and icky. I don't like it anymore. I like your book better. It has pictures and words and stories."
+
+Ben smiled and forgave Lily. He was glad she was his sister. He shared his book with her and taught her some new words. They walked inside together, holding hands. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily liked to play with her toy elephant. She named him Elly and gave him a pink hat. She took him everywhere, even to bed. One night, it was very cold and windy. Lily shivered under her blanket and hugged Elly tight.
+
+She heard a loud noise outside. She was scared and curious. She got out of bed and looked out the window. She saw a big truck with a cage. Inside the cage was a real elephant. He looked sad and cold. Lily felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him.
+
+She put on her coat and shoes and ran outside. She did not tell her mom or dad. She went to the truck and opened the cage. The elephant was happy to see her. He lifted her with his trunk and put her on his back. He ran away from the truck and into the dark.
+
+Lily was excited and scared. She held on to the elephant's ears. She did not know where they were going. She saw lights and people and cars. They made loud noises and flashed bright colors. The elephant was scared too. He did not like the noise and the lights. He wanted to go back to his home.
+
+He saw a big bridge over a river. He thought it was a way to his home. He ran towards the bridge. But the bridge was not strong enough for him. It broke and fell into the river. Lily and the elephant fell with it. They splashed into the water. It was cold and deep. Lily could not swim. She let go of the elephant's ears. She sank and did not come up. The elephant tried to find her, but he could not. He was sad and embarrassed. He wished he had not run away with her. He wished he had stayed in the cage. He wished Lily was safe and warm in her bed. But it was too late. Lily and the elephant were gone.
+Anna and Ben like to play with models. They have models of cars, planes, animals and people. They make stories with their models and have fun.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a model of a rocket inside. Anna and Ben are very happy. They want to play with the rocket.
+
+"Let's pretend we are going to the moon!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, but we need to wear helmets and suits," Ben says.
+
+They find some old hats and coats and put them on. They look funny. They laugh.
+
+They put the rocket on the floor and sit inside. They make noises like a rocket.
+
+"Three, two, one, blast off!" Anna shouts.
+
+The rocket starts to shake and move. Anna and Ben are surprised. They did not know the rocket can move.
+
+"Wow, this is interesting!" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe it is a real rocket!" Anna says.
+
+They look out of the window. They see the sky and the stars. They are really going to the moon.
+
+They are scared and excited. They hold hands.
+
+"Are you joking?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, I am not joking. Look!" Anna says.
+
+They see the moon getting bigger and bigger. They are going to land soon.
+
+They wonder what they will find on the moon. They hope it is fun. They hope they can come back. They hope their mom and dad are not angry. They hope it is a good joke.
+Jill liked to play with her navy boat in the bath. She made it sail and splash and pretend it was a big ship. She had a lot of fun with her boat.
+
+But one day, her brother Jack came into the bathroom and saw her boat. He wanted to play with it too. He said, "Give me the boat, Jill. It's my turn."
+
+Jill did not want to share her boat. She said, "No, Jack. It's my boat. Go away."
+
+Jack did not listen to Jill. He reached for the boat and tried to take it from her. Jill held on to the boat and pulled it back. They both tugged and shouted.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the bathroom. She saw Jack and Jill fighting over the boat. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You need to share your toys. Jack, you can play with the boat for five minutes, and then you have to give it back to Jill. Jill, you can play with something else while you wait. Do you understand?"
+
+Jack and Jill nodded, but they were not happy. They both wanted the boat. They both felt anxious. They both ignored Mom's words. They both waited for a chance to grab the boat again. They did not know that Mom had a surprise for them. She had bought another boat, a red one, for them to play with together. She hoped they would learn to get along and have more fun. She smiled and went to get the new boat.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pole with a slide. They want to ride the slide.
+
+"Me first!" Lily says. She runs to the pole and climbs up. She sits on the slide and slides down. She laughs.
+
+"My turn!" Ben says. He runs to the pole and climbs up. He sits on the slide and slides down. He does not laugh. He cries.
+
+"Why are you crying?" Lily asks. She goes to Ben and hugs him.
+
+"The slide is wet!" Ben says. "It made my pants wet! I don't like wet pants!"
+
+Lily looks at the slide. She sees water on it. She remembers it rained yesterday. She feels sorry for Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "I did not know the slide was wet. Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Ben nods. He wipes his tears. He smiles.
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben says. "Let's play something else. How about the swings?"
+
+Lily and Ben go to the swings. They push each other and have fun. They forget about the wet slide. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily love to play with their toy dinosaurs. They have big ones and small ones, green ones and brown ones, ones that roar and ones that squeak. They like to pretend that they are brave explorers in a land of dinosaurs.
+
+One day, they decide to go for a walk in the park with their dinosaurs. They put them in a bag and carry them along. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. They say hello to everyone they meet.
+
+They find a nice spot under a big tree and take out their dinosaurs. They make them walk and run and jump on the grass. They make them talk to each other in funny voices.
+
+"Hello, I am Rex, the king of the dinosaurs," says Ben, holding a big red T-rex. "Who are you?"
+
+"I am Sara, the fastest dinosaur," says Lily, holding a small yellow raptor. "I can run faster than you."
+
+"No, you can't. I can catch you," says Ben, making his T-rex chase Lily's raptor.
+
+They laugh and play until they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big dog running towards them. The dog barks and jumps on their dinosaurs, making them fly in the air.
+
+"Help! Help!" they scream, scared of the dog.
+
+A man comes running after the dog. He grabs the dog by the collar and pulls him away. He says sorry to Ben and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. He's just playful. He likes dinosaurs too. Are you OK?"
+
+Ben and Lily nod, still shaking. They pick up their dinosaurs and hug them.
+
+"Thank you, mister," they say to the man.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. You're very brave to play with dinosaurs. Have fun," the man says, smiling. He walks away with his dog.
+
+Ben and Lily look at each other and smile. They are happy that their dinosaurs are safe. They are happy that they are brave. They continue to play with their dinosaurs under the big tree.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+"Let's play a game," Lily said. "We can make our own game with these cards and dice."
+
+"OK," Ben agreed. "But what is the game about?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the cards and dice. She had an idea.
+
+"The game is about animals," she said. "We have to examine the cards and find the animals that match. Then we roll the dice and move on the board. The first one to reach the end wins."
+
+"That sounds fun," Ben said. "But how do we know which animals match?"
+
+Lily showed him the cards. They had pictures of different animals on them. Some were big, some were small, some had fur, some had feathers.
+
+"We have to look at the animals and see what they have in common," she explained. "For example, these two cards match because they both have fur and four legs. They are a cat and a dog. But these two cards do not match because one has feathers and two legs and the other has scales and no legs. They are a bird and a snake."
+
+"I see," Ben said. "That sounds easy. Let's play."
+
+They shuffled the cards and placed them face down on the table. They took turns to pick two cards and examine them. If they matched, they kept them and rolled the dice. If they did not match, they put them back and passed the turn.
+
+They had fun playing the game. They learned about different animals and how to compare them. They also counted the dots on the dice and moved their pieces on the board.
+
+Lily was ahead of Ben. She only needed one more match to win. She picked two cards and looked at them. She smiled.
+
+"I win!" she shouted. "I found two cards that match. They are both delicious. They are a cake and a cookie."
+
+Ben looked at the cards. He laughed.
+
+"That's not fair," he said. "Those are not animals. Those are food."
+
+Lily giggled.
+
+"I know," she said. "But they are still delicious. And I win. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Ben nodded.
+
+"OK," he said. "But this time, no food cards. Only animals."
+
+They shuffled the cards again and started a new game. They had fun playing and examining the cards. They forgot they were bored. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big bridge over a river. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Sara said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals."
+
+"OK, Sara, but be careful. The bridge is very high and the water is very fast." Tom said. He felt a little scared, but he did not want to show it.
+
+They held hands and walked on the bridge. They looked down and saw the water sparkling in the sun. They heard the birds singing and the wind blowing. They felt happy and excited.
+
+But then, they saw something else. A big, black dog was standing on the other end of the bridge. It was growling and showing its teeth. It looked angry and mean.
+
+"Tom, look! A dog!" Sara said. She felt afraid and wanted to go back.
+
+"Shh, Sara, don't make noise. Maybe it will go away." Tom said. He felt brave and tried to protect his sister.
+
+But the dog did not go away. It started to run towards them, barking loudly. Sara and Tom ran too, but they were not fast enough. The dog was getting closer and closer.
+
+They thought they were in trouble. But then, they saw something else. A big, white swan was flying over the river. It was graceful and beautiful. It saw the dog and the twins. It made a loud noise and swooped down.
+
+The dog was surprised and scared. It stopped running and turned around. It ran away from the bridge, whimpering and whining.
+
+The swan landed on the water and looked at Sara and Tom. It nodded its head and flapped its wings. It seemed to say, "You're welcome."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled and waved at the swan. They felt grateful and relieved. They crossed the bridge and went home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said, "Thank you, swan, for saving us from the dog. You are our hero."
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they are also thirsty.
+
+"Can we have some juice, Mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. I'll bring you some in a glass. But be careful, don't spill it or break it, okay?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. Thank you!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom goes to the kitchen and fills two glasses with juice. She returns to the living room and gives one glass to Sara and one to Ben. She tells them to drink slowly and enjoy.
+
+Sara and Ben sip their juice and smile. They like the sweet taste and the cold feeling. They put their glasses on the table and go back to their toys.
+
+But then, Ben sees something shiny on the floor. It is a coin. He wants to pick it up and see what it is. He forgets about his glass and his car. He runs to the coin and bends down.
+
+But he bumps into the table. The table shakes and the glasses fall. They break into pieces and the juice spills everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess and the broken glasses. She is not happy.
+
+"What did you do, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I saw a coin and I wanted to see it. I didn't mean to break the glasses." Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She picks up the coin and gives it to Ben. She tells him to be more careful next time. She gets a broom and a cloth and cleans up the mess. She throws away the broken glasses and wipes the juice.
+
+She tells Sara and Ben to play somewhere else. She says she will bring them new glasses with water. Water is normal and good for them. She says they can have juice again another day.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say they are sorry and they love Mom. They hug Mom and move to another room. They play with their toys and wait for their water. They hope Mom is not too mad at them. They are still thirsty.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a peanut on the ground. Tom picks it up and shows it to Anna.
+
+"Look, a peanut!" Tom says.
+
+"What is a peanut?" Anna asks.
+
+Tom tries to explain. "A peanut is a food. It is brown and hard. You can eat it, but you have to open it first. There is something soft inside."
+
+"How do you open it?" Anna wonders.
+
+Tom looks at the peanut. He sees a line in the middle. He tries to pull it apart, but it is too hard. He tries to bite it, but it hurts his teeth. He tries to smash it with a rock, but it bounces away.
+
+"I don't know how to open it," Tom says. "It is too hard."
+
+Anna has an idea. She sees a squirrel on a tree. She knows that squirrels like peanuts. She calls the squirrel.
+
+"Hey, squirrel! Do you want a peanut?" Anna shouts.
+
+The squirrel looks at Anna and Tom. It sees the peanut in Tom's hand. It jumps down from the tree and runs to them. It takes the peanut from Tom and runs back to the tree. It holds the peanut in its paws and cracks it open with its teeth. It eats the soft thing inside and throws away the hard thing.
+
+"Wow, the squirrel knows how to open it!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, the squirrel is smart," Anna says. "And it is fit. It can jump and run and crack peanuts."
+
+Tom and Anna watch the squirrel eat the peanut. They smile and clap. They are happy that they gave the squirrel a treat. They are happy that they learned something new. They are happy that they are friends.
+Tom and Lily liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. One day, they decided to be a prince and a princess. They put on crowns and capes and rings. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was a witch! She had a black hat and a long nose and a broom. She looked angry and scary.
+
+"Give me your rings!" she said. "They are magic and I want them!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to give their rings. They were just pretend rings, but they liked them. They said no to the witch.
+
+The witch got very mad. She tried to grab their rings. But Tom and Lily ran away. They hid behind the sofa. They hoped the witch would go away.
+
+But the witch did not go away. She used her broom to fly around the room. She looked for Tom and Lily. She said, "I will find you and take your rings!"
+
+Tom and Lily did not know what to do. They wished they had a real prince or princess to help them. They wished they had a magic ring to make the witch go away.
+
+Then, they heard another knock on the door. They wondered who it was. They hoped it was not another witch. They peeked from behind the sofa.
+
+It was their mom! She had come home from work. She saw the witch flying around the room. She saw Tom and Lily hiding behind the sofa. She was surprised and angry.
+
+"Hey, you!" she said to the witch. "What are you doing here? Leave my kids alone!"
+
+The witch was surprised and scared. She did not expect to see a mom. She dropped her broom and ran to the door. She tried to open it, but it was locked.
+
+"Help! Let me out!" she said.
+
+Mom did not let her out. She called the police. She said, "There is a witch in my house. She tried to steal my kids' rings. Please come and take her away!"
+
+The police came and took the witch away. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are very brave and smart. You saved the day!"
+
+Mom hugged Tom and Lily. She said, "Are you okay, my sweeties? I'm sorry you had to deal with a witch. She was very bad and mean. But you were very good and brave. I'm proud of you!"
+
+Tom and Lily hugged mom. They said, "We're okay, mom. We're happy you're here. You are the best mom ever. You are our hero!"
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "I love you, my prince and princess. You are my perfect kids. Now, let's have some cookies and milk and forget about the witch. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They said, "That sounds great, mom. We love you too. You are our perfect mom. And we still have our rings!"
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw an enormous rock. It was bigger than a car. They wanted to climb on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a big rock!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we go up?" Ben asked.
+
+"Let's try!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the rock and tried to find a way to climb. Lily found a small hole and put her leg in it. She pushed herself up. Ben followed her. They reached the top of the rock.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Ben said.
+
+They looked around and saw the trees, the grass, and the sky. They felt happy and proud.
+
+"Let's sing a song!" Lily said.
+
+"Okay!" Ben said.
+
+They sang a song they learned at school. They clapped their hands and stomped their feet. They had fun on the enormous rock.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play sport. They play soccer in the park. Lily can kick the ball very well. Tom can run very fast.
+
+One day, they meet a new boy. His name is Sam. Sam is deaf. He cannot hear what Lily and Tom say. He uses his hands to talk. Lily and Tom do not know his hand talk.
+
+Sam wants to play soccer with them. He points to the ball and smiles. Lily and Tom nod. They give him a ball. Sam kicks the ball to Lily. Lily kicks it back to him. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tom sees a problem. Sam's shoes are loose. His laces are untied. He can trip and fall. Tom wants to help him. He runs to Sam and taps his shoulder. He points to his shoes and shakes his head. He tries to say "tie your shoes".
+
+Sam does not understand. He thinks Tom wants the ball. He kicks the ball to Tom and runs after it. Tom is confused. He tries again. He points to his shoes and makes a knot with his fingers. He tries to say "tie your shoes".
+
+Sam still does not understand. He thinks Tom is playing a game. He copies his fingers and laughs. He kicks the ball to Lily and runs after it. Lily is puzzled. She tries to help Tom. She points to her shoes and nods. She tries to say "tie your shoes".
+
+Sam finally understands. He looks at his shoes and sees the loose laces. He feels silly. He stops and bends down. He ties his shoes. He smiles and gives a thumbs up. He tries to say "thank you".
+
+Lily and Tom smile and clap. They are happy. They play soccer with Sam. They are friends. They learn his hand talk. He learns their words. They have fun.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their ball in the yard. But today, the sun is very hot and the grass is very dry. Tom and Sam are thirsty and tired.
+
+"Can we go inside and drink some water?" Sam asks Tom.
+
+"No, we have to play more. I want to strike the ball very hard and make it fly high," Tom says.
+
+"But I am thirsty and hot. And the ball is dry too. It hurts my hands when I catch it," Sam says.
+
+"I don't care. You have to play with me. Or I will be angry and hit you," Tom says.
+
+Tom strikes the ball very hard and it flies high. But it does not come down. It gets stuck in a big tree.
+
+"Oh no! Our ball is gone!" Sam says.
+
+"Give me a boost. I will climb the tree and get it," Tom says.
+
+Sam gives Tom a boost and Tom climbs the tree. But the tree is dry too. The branches are weak and break. Tom falls down and lands on the ground.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries.
+
+Sam runs to Tom and helps him up.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Sam asks.
+
+"No, I am not okay. I hurt my arm and my leg. And our ball is still in the tree," Tom says.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom. Maybe we should have gone inside and drank some water. Maybe the ball would not have been so dry and hard. Maybe the tree would not have been so dry and weak," Sam says.
+
+"Maybe you are right, Sam. Maybe I was wrong. I should have listened to you. You are my brother and you have a good will. You want me to be happy and safe," Tom says.
+
+Tom and Sam hug each other and go inside. They drink some water and put some ice on Tom's arm and leg. They feel better and say sorry to each other. They decide to play with their ball another day, when the sun is not so hot and the grass is not so dry.
+Lily and Sam liked to play with their kayak. It was a big toy boat that they could sit in and paddle on the water. They had a yellow paddle and a blue paddle. They took turns to use them.
+
+One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. They put their kayak in the water and climbed in. They were very excited. They paddled fast and slow, left and right, around and around.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a big splash!" Sam said. He swung his paddle hard and hit the water. But he hit something else too. He hit a rock. The rock was sharp. It made a hole in the kayak. The water came in.
+
+"Oh no, Sam, we have a leak!" Lily said. She saw the water fill the kayak. She felt scared. She dropped her paddle. The kayak started to sink.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted. Their mom and dad heard them. They ran to the lake. They jumped in the water. They swam to the kayak. They grabbed Lily and Sam. They pulled them out of the kayak. They carried them to the shore.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" their mom asked. She hugged them tight. She checked them for cuts and bruises.
+
+"We're okay, mom, but we're dizzy," Lily said. She felt the water in her ears. She felt the sun in her eyes. She felt the ground spin.
+
+"We're sorry, mom, we broke the kayak," Sam said. He felt sad. He liked the kayak. He didn't mean to break it.
+
+"It's okay, Sam, it was an accident," their dad said. He smiled. He lifted the kayak out of the water. He saw the hole. He said he could fix it.
+
+"Let's go home and dry off," their mom said. She took their hands. They walked to the car. They left the kayak with their dad.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with their kayak. They learned to avoid sharp rocks. They learned to have fun, but not too much.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red radio. The radio plays songs. Lily and Sam like to skip and sing with the songs.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail. The dog runs to Lily and Sam. It barks loud. Lily and Sam are scared. They hold the red radio and run away.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily says. "We don't want to play with you!"
+
+But the dog follows them. It wants to play too. It jumps and tries to catch the red radio. Lily and Sam drop the radio. The radio falls on the grass. It makes a loud noise. The dog stops and looks at the radio.
+
+"What is that?" the dog says. "It sounds funny!"
+
+The dog sniffs the radio. It licks the radio. It bites the radio. The radio breaks. It stops playing songs. Lily and Sam are sad. They like their red radio.
+
+"Bad dog!" Sam says. "You broke our radio!"
+
+The dog feels sorry. It wags its tail. It brings the radio to Lily and Sam. It wants to say sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry," the dog says. "I didn't mean to break your radio. I just wanted to play with you. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Sam look at the dog. They look at the radio. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"OK," Lily says. "We can be friends. But you have to be gentle. And you have to share."
+
+The dog nods. It gives the radio to Lily and Sam. They take the radio. They hug the dog. They skip and sing with the dog. They have a new friend. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big map on the wall. The map shows many places and colors.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"This is a map. It shows where we are and where other people are," Ben says.
+
+Lily points to a blue part on the map. "What is this?"
+
+"This is the sea. It is water that is very big and deep. You can swim and fish in the sea," Ben says.
+
+Lily points to a yellow part on the map. "What is this?"
+
+"This is the east. It is where the sun comes up in the morning. It is very far from here," Ben says.
+
+Lily points to a green part on the map. "What is this?"
+
+"This is the forest. It is where many trees and animals live. You can walk and play in the forest," Ben says.
+
+Lily points to a thin line on the map. "What is this?"
+
+"This is a road. It is where cars and buses go. It can take you to different places," Ben says.
+
+Lily smiles. "I like the map. It shows us many things."
+
+Ben nods. "Me too. The map can provide us with fun and learning."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a white jewel. Anna picked it up and said, "Look, Ben, I found a pretty thing!"
+
+Ben wanted the jewel too. He said, "Give it to me, Anna, it's mine!"
+
+Anna said, "No, it's mine, I saw it first!"
+
+They started to fight over the jewel. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was angry and hungry. It wanted the jewel too.
+
+The dog barked and jumped on Anna and Ben. They were scared and let go of the jewel. The dog grabbed the jewel in its mouth and ran away. Anna and Ben cried and ran to their mom.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "What happened, my darlings?"
+
+Anna and Ben told her about the jewel and the dog. Their mom said, "I'm sorry, my darlings, but you should not fight over things. You should share and be kind. And you should remain close to me in the park. There are many dangers out there."
+
+Anna and Ben said, "We're sorry, mom, we learned our lesson."
+
+But they never saw the white jewel again. The dog had eaten it and it was gone. The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They also like to wear different clothes. Sometimes they wear hats, sometimes they wear scarves, sometimes they wear glasses.
+
+One day, they find a big box in their room. It is empty. They wonder what is inside. They open the box and see many clothes. They are happy. They want to try them on.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a shirt with a number on it. It is number six. Do you like it?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is nice. But I like this dress more. It has flowers on it. It is pretty. Can I wear it?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can wear it. And I will wear this shirt. We can be number six and flowers. Let's show Mom and Dad." Ben says.
+
+They put on the clothes and run to the living room. Mom and Dad are there. They see Lily and Ben and smile.
+
+"Wow, you look so cute. Where did you get those clothes?" Mom says.
+
+"We found them in a big box. It was empty. But we filled it with clothes. We like to wear them. They are fun." Lily says.
+
+"That's great. You are very creative. Do you know what number six and flowers mean?" Dad says.
+
+"No, we don't. What do they mean?" Ben says.
+
+"Well, number six is a special number. It is the number of your birthday. You are six years old. And flowers are a symbol of love and beauty. You are both very loved and beautiful." Dad says.
+
+"Really? That's amazing. We are number six and flowers. We are special." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They hug Mom and Dad and thank them for the clothes. They are happy. They wear number six and flowers. They are special.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to look at the magazines that their mom had on the table. They saw pictures of animals, cars, flowers and people. They tried to say the names of the things they saw.
+
+"Look, Ben, a lion!" Anna said, pointing at a big yellow cat with a mane. "It is powerful. It can roar and run fast."
+
+"I like the lion too," Ben said. "But I like the car more. It is red and shiny. It can go vroom and beep."
+
+They turned the page and saw a picture of a lady with a lot of makeup on her face. She had red lips, blue eyes and pink cheeks. She was smiling and holding a phone.
+
+"Who is that?" Anna asked. "She is pretty."
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe she is a princess. She has a lot of colors on her face."
+
+Anna wanted to try the colors too. She reached for the magazine and tore out the page with the lady. She rubbed the paper on her face, hoping to get some of the colors.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" Ben asked. "You are making a mess. Mom will be mad."
+
+Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She did not look like the lady. She looked like a clown. She had red and blue and pink all over her face. She felt silly and sad.
+
+"Ben, help me," she said. "How can I get the colors off?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that mom always used a cloth to wipe things. He ran to the kitchen and got a wet cloth. He came back to Anna and gently wiped her face.
+
+"There, Anna, you are clean now," he said. "Don't worry. Mom will not be mad. She will love you."
+
+Anna hugged Ben and thanked him. She learned that magazines are not for coloring. She decided to play with something else. She and Ben had fun with their toys until mom came home.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they saw a big box in the park. They wondered what was inside. They opened the box and found many shiny things. They were swords and shields and helmets. They were toys from a war.
+
+"Wow, these are cool!" Ben said. "Let's play war!"
+
+Anna did not like war. She thought war was scary and bad. She wanted to play something else.
+
+"No, Ben, war is not fun. War hurts people and makes them sad. Let's play something nice, like dancing or singing," Anna said.
+
+Ben did not listen. He put on a helmet and took a sword. He said he was a brave soldier. He ran around the park and pretended to fight enemies. He made loud noises and swung his sword.
+
+Anna did not want to play war. She put on a dress and took a fan. She said she was a graceful princess. She walked around the park and pretended to dance and sing. She made soft noises and waved her fan.
+
+Ben saw Anna and laughed. He said she was silly and boring. He said war was better than dancing. He ran towards Anna and tried to hit her with his sword.
+
+Anna was scared and angry. She did not want to fight Ben. She wanted to be his friend. She dodged his sword and said, "Stop, Ben, stop! You are hurting me and yourself. War is not a game. War is not good. Why can't we play together and be happy?"
+
+Ben did not stop. He said he wanted to win the war. He said he was stronger and smarter than Anna. He swung his sword harder and faster.
+
+Anna saw a big rock near her. She had an idea. She threw the fan in the air and ran behind the rock. Ben followed the fan and did not see the rock. He tripped over the rock and fell to the ground. He dropped his sword and helmet. He hurt his knee and his head. He cried.
+
+Anna heard Ben cry. She felt sorry for him. She came out from behind the rock and ran to him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry I threw the fan. I did not want to hurt you. I just wanted you to stop."
+
+Ben looked at Anna. He saw her dress and her fan. He saw his sword and his helmet. He realized he was wrong. He said, "Anna, I'm sorry too. I was mean and rude. I did not listen to you. I did not want to play war. I wanted to play with you. War is not fun. War is not cool. War is not good."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend. Friends do not fight. Friends play and share and help each other. Friends succeed together."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Anna back. He said, "You are right, Anna. You are my friend. Friends are better than war. Friends are fun and cool and good. Friends are graceful."
+
+They got up and put the toys back in the box. They decided to play something else. They played dancing and singing and cars and dolls. They played together and were happy.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: War is not a game. War is not good. Friends are better than war. Friends play and share and help each other. Friends succeed together.
+Tom and Lily were going to the airport with their mom and dad. They were very excited to fly on a big plane and see their grandma. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car.
+
+On the way, they saw a lot of things. They saw cars and trucks and buses and bikes. They saw houses and shops and parks and trees. They saw people and animals and signs and lights. They asked their mom and dad a lot of questions. They were very nosy.
+
+"Mom, why is that car red?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because the owner likes red, I guess," Mom said.
+
+"Dad, what is that big building?" Tom asked.
+
+"That is a hospital, where people go when they are sick or hurt," Dad said.
+
+"Mom, what is that noise?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is a siren, it means there is an emergency," Mom said.
+
+"Dad, what is that smell?" Tom asked.
+
+"That is a bakery, where they make bread and cakes and cookies," Dad said.
+
+Mom and Dad tried to answer all their questions, but they were getting tired. They wished Tom and Lily would be quiet for a while.
+
+They finally reached the airport. They got out of the car and took their bags and toys. They walked to the entrance, where there was a long line of people. They had to wait for their turn to check in.
+
+Tom and Lily did not like waiting. They were bored and restless. They wanted to play and explore. They saw a lot of things in the airport. They saw planes and pilots and luggage and carts. They saw shops and restaurants and screens and speakers. They saw people of different colors and clothes and languages. They wanted to know more about them. They were very nosy.
+
+"Mom, can I go see that plane?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, you have to stay with us," Mom said.
+
+"Dad, can I go talk to that lady?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you have to stay with us," Dad said.
+
+"Mom, can I go touch that bag?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, you have to stay with us," Mom said.
+
+"Dad, can I go listen to that music?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you have to stay with us," Dad said.
+
+Tom and Lily did not listen. They were stubborn and curious. They wanted to have fun and learn. They ran away from their mom and dad. They went to see and talk and touch and listen to everything they could. They were very nosy.
+
+Mom and Dad were worried and angry. They looked for Tom and Lily everywhere. They called their names and asked other people. They were scared and sorry. They wished Tom and Lily would come back to them.
+
+Tom and Lily had a lot of trouble. They got lost and confused. They got scolded and chased. They got dirty and hungry. They were sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad.
+
+They finally found each other in a corner of the airport. They hugged and cried. They saw their mom and dad running towards them. They hugged and cried some more. They said they were sorry and they loved them. They promised to be good and not nosy.
+
+Mom and Dad were relieved and happy. They forgave Tom and Lily and hugged them. They said they were sorry and they loved them. They checked in and boarded the plane. They flew to see their grandma. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things. But they were not nosy. They were careful and polite. They listened to their mom and dad. They were good.
+Sam likes to drive his toy car. He makes it go fast and loud. He pretends he is a racer. He zooms around the room and the yard.
+
+One day, he sees a big car on the street. It is shiny and red. It has four doors and a long nose. Sam thinks it is a muscle car. He wants to see it up close.
+
+He runs to the car and looks inside. He sees a man sitting in the driver's seat. The man has a hat and sunglasses. He smiles at Sam.
+
+"Hello, little boy. Do you like my car?" the man asks.
+
+"Yes, sir. It is a muscle car. It is very cool. Can I drive it?" Sam says.
+
+The man laughs. "No, you can't drive it. You are too small. This car is very powerful. It needs a lot of skill and care to drive. It is not a toy."
+
+Sam feels sad. He likes the car very much. He wants to drive it someday.
+
+The man sees Sam's face. He says, "Don't be sad. You can still enjoy cars. You can learn about them and how they work. You can watch them and admire them. You can dream about them. And when you grow up, maybe you can drive one like this. Or even better."
+
+Sam feels a little better. He says, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. Your car is very graceful. It is like a big red bird. It can fly on the road."
+
+The man smiles again. He says, "You are very welcome. You are very smart. You have a good eye for cars. You have a good imagination. Maybe you will be a racer or a designer someday. Keep playing and learning and dreaming. And be careful on the street."
+
+Sam nods. He says, "I will, sir. Goodbye, sir. Have a nice day."
+
+He waves at the man and runs back to his toy car. He drives it around again. He thinks about the muscle car and the man. He thinks about his dreams. He is happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room while their mom was cooking dinner. They saw a big bottle of wine on the table. It was red and shiny and had a funny shape.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it looks fun. Let's play with it!" Ben said.
+
+They grabbed the bottle and ran around the room, pretending it was a rocket or a sword or a snake. They laughed and shouted and had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they bumped into the sofa and the bottle fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces and the wine spilled everywhere. It made a loud noise and a big mess.
+
+"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily cried.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken bottle and the wine and the children. She was very angry and sad.
+
+"Lily and Ben, how could you do this? This was a very special bottle of wine. It was a gift from your grandma. She made it herself with the grapes from her garden. It was incredible wine. You have destroyed it!" she said.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they had done something very bad. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, mom. We didn't know it was special. We just wanted to play. We won't do it again," they said.
+
+Their mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She said they had to learn to be careful and respectful with other people's things. She said they had to help her clean the mess and say sorry to grandma.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed and said they had learned their lesson. They helped their mom clean the mess and called grandma to say sorry. Grandma was sad but also forgiving. She said she loved them and hoped they would visit her soon. She said she would make more wine for them to taste when they were older.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They are infants. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight.
+
+One day, Anna finds a jar of peanut butter in the kitchen. She thinks it is yummy. She takes it to her room. She wants to spread it on her toys. She thinks they will be yummy too.
+
+She opens the jar and dips her fingers in it. She smears the peanut butter on her doll, her teddy bear, and her blocks. She is happy. She says, "Look, Ben, I made our toys tasty!"
+
+Ben sees the peanut butter on the toys. He does not like it. He thinks it is sticky and messy. He says, "No, Anna, you made our toys dirty! Mommy will be mad. We have to clean them."
+
+He grabs a towel and tries to wipe the peanut butter off the toys. But it is hard. The peanut butter is dry and sticky. It does not come off easily. He says, "Anna, this is bad. The peanut butter is dry. It does not come off. What will we do?"
+
+Anna feels sorry. She did not mean to make Ben sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted to have fun. Maybe we can ask Mommy for help. She will know what to do."
+
+They go to Mommy and tell her what happened. Mommy is not mad. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "It's okay, Anna and Ben. I know you were curious. But peanut butter is for eating, not for playing. Next time, ask me before you take something from the kitchen. Now, let's go and wash your toys. They will be clean and dry soon."
+
+They follow Mommy to the bathroom. She fills the sink with warm water and soap. She helps them wash their toys. They scrub and rinse them until they are clean. They put them on a towel to dry. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you."
+
+Mommy says, "You're welcome, Anna and Ben. I love you too. Now, how about a snack? I have some bread and peanut butter for you. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are hungry. They say, "Yes, please, Mommy. We like peanut butter. But only on bread. Not on toys."
+
+Mommy laughs. She says, "That's right. Peanut butter is for bread. Not for toys. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and enjoy our snack."
+
+They go to the kitchen and eat their bread and peanut butter. They are happy. They learned something new. They say, "Peanut butter is yummy. But toys are not."
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with trains. They have a big station with many tracks and cars. They can make the trains go fast or slow, or stop and start.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We are going to the store. Do you want to come?" Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please!" They put on their coats and shoes and go to the car. Mom drives them to the store.
+
+At the store, they see many things. They see toys, books, clothes, and food. Mom says, "You can each choose one thing to buy. But you have to share with each other." Sara and Ben look around. They see a train set. It has a big engine, a coal car, a passenger car, and a caboose. It also has a bridge and a tunnel. Sara and Ben want the train set. They say, "Mom, can we have this?"
+
+Mom looks at the price. She says, "This is too expensive. You can have something smaller." Sara and Ben are sad. They love the train set. They look for something else. They see a book about trains. It has many pictures and words. Sara and Ben like the book. They say, "Mom, can we have this?"
+
+Mom looks at the book. She says, "This is a good choice. You can learn a lot from this book. And you can read it together." Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, mom!" They take the book to the cashier. The cashier scans the book and tells mom the price. Mom pays with her card.
+
+As they are leaving, they see a man. He is holding the train set. He says, "Excuse me, are you the twins who wanted this train set?" Sara and Ben nod. They wonder who he is. He says, "I saw you looking at it. I heard your mom say it was too expensive. I wanted to surprise you. This is a gift from me. I hope you enjoy it." He hands them the train set.
+
+Sara and Ben are shocked. They can't believe it. They say, "Wow! Thank you, sir! You are very generous!" They hug the man. He smiles. He says, "You're welcome. I like trains too. I have a big station at home. Maybe you can come and play with me someday." Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please!" They are very excited.
+
+Mom is also surprised. She says, "Thank you, sir. That is very kind of you. What is your name?" The man says, "My name is Mr. Jones. I live on Maple Street. Here is my phone number. You can call me anytime." He gives mom a card. Mom says, "Thank you, Mr. Jones. We will call you soon. Have a nice day." Mr. Jones says, "You too. Bye, Sara and Ben. Have fun with your train set." He waves and leaves.
+
+Sara and Ben are very happy. They say, "Mom, can we go home and play with our train set?" Mom says, "Yes, of course. Let's go." They put the train set and the book in the car. They drive home. They can't wait to set up their station and make their trains go. They thank mom and Mr. Jones again. They say, "This is the best day ever!"
+Lila and Sam were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many costumes and hats and scarves in their big box. One day, they found a new thing in the box. It was a long, white veil that looked like a bride's. Lila wanted to wear it and pretend to be a princess. She put it on her head and looked in the mirror.
+
+"Wow, I look so pretty!" she said. "Sam, come and see!"
+
+Sam came and saw Lila in the veil. He liked it too. He wanted to wear it and pretend to be a king. He reached for the veil and tried to pull it off Lila's head.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Lila said. "It's mine! I found it first!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sam said. "I want it too!"
+
+They both pulled and tugged on the veil. They did not want to share. They did not resist their selfish feelings. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about the veil. They only cared about themselves.
+
+Suddenly, the veil ripped in half. They both fell to the floor, holding a piece of the veil. They looked at each other and at the veil. They felt sad and sorry. They had ruined the veil. They had hurt each other. They had spoiled their fun.
+
+They both said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have shared. Can we still be friends?"
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to use the pieces of the veil to make something new. They used one piece to make a cape and the other piece to make a bandana. They put them on and pretended to be superheroes. They had more fun than before. They learned to share and to resist their selfish feelings. They learned to be healthy and happy friends.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They had a dog named Poppy. Poppy was big and fluffy and friendly. She liked to play with Lily and Max.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They were curious. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They asked Poppy to come with them. Poppy wagged her tail and followed them. They crawled through the hole and saw a big road. There were many cars and trucks and buses. They were loud and fast.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They wanted to go back to the garden. But Poppy saw a cat. She liked to chase cats. She ran after the cat and crossed the road. Lily and Max shouted, "Poppy, stop! Come back!" But Poppy did not hear them. She was too busy chasing the cat.
+
+Lily and Max were worried. They did not want Poppy to get hurt. They did not know how to cross the road. They looked for help. They saw a man in a blue uniform. He had a badge and a hat. He was a police officer. They ran to him and said, "Please, please, help us! Our dog Poppy is on the other side of the road. She is chasing a cat. We are scared. We want to go back to the garden. Can you rescue Poppy?"
+
+The police officer smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids. I will help you. Stay here and hold my hand. I will stop the cars and trucks and buses. Then we will go and get Poppy." He blew his whistle and waved his arms. The cars and trucks and buses stopped. He walked with Lily and Max across the road. He saw Poppy and the cat. They were hiding under a bush. He called, "Poppy, come here, girl. It's time to go home." Poppy barked and ran to him. She licked his face and wagged her tail. The cat ran away.
+
+Lily and Max hugged Poppy and thanked the police officer. He said, "You're welcome, kids. But remember, never go through the hole in the fence again. The road is dangerous. Always stay in the garden with Poppy. She is a good dog. She loves you." He walked with them back to the garden and fixed the hole in the fence. He waved goodbye and left.
+
+Lily and Max were happy. They had Poppy back. They played with her in the garden. They were careful and safe. They never went through the hole in the fence again.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there were many old and dusty things. They saw a teddy bear, a train, a doll, and a book. They decided to take them to their room and have fun.
+
+But when they tried to play with the train, it did not move. Ben pushed a button, but nothing happened. He looked at the train and saw a wire was broken. He said to Mia, "The train is broken. We need to repair it."
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Maybe we can ask Dad. He knows how to fix things."
+
+They ran downstairs and found their dad in the kitchen. They showed him the train and asked him to repair it. Dad smiled and said, "Where did you find this train? It is very old and rare. It was my grandpa's train. He gave it to me when I was a little boy."
+
+Ben and Mia were surprised. They did not know the train was so special. They asked Dad, "Can you repair it, please?"
+
+Dad said, "I will try, but I need some tools and parts. They might cost some money. Do you have any money to help me?"
+
+Ben and Mia thought for a moment. They remembered they had a piggy bank in their room. They had saved some money from their birthday and chores. They said to Dad, "We have some money in our piggy bank. We can give it to you."
+
+Dad hugged them and said, "Thank you, my sweeties. You are very kind and generous. Come on, let's go to the store and buy what we need. Then we can repair the train together and make it work again."
+
+Ben and Mia were happy. They grabbed their piggy bank and followed Dad to the car. They hoped they could play with the train soon and learn more about their grandpa. They thought the train was very rare and precious, just like their family.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a hat, a dress, a spoon, a pot, and a bow.
+
+"Let's play dress up!" Jen says. She puts on the hat and the dress. She looks funny. Tom laughs.
+
+"Let's play cook!" Tom says. He takes the spoon and the pot. He pretends to stir something in the pot. He looks funny. Jen laughs.
+
+They have fun playing dress up and cook. They take turns wearing the hat and the dress and using the spoon and the pot. They also use the bow to make their hair look nice.
+
+But they do not see the cat. The cat is hiding behind the box. The cat is hungry. The cat sees the bow. The cat thinks the bow is a toy. The cat jumps out and grabs the bow with its teeth.
+
+"Hey, that's my bow!" Jen says. She tries to get the bow back from the cat. The cat runs away with the bow.
+
+"Come back, cat!" Tom says. He chases the cat with the spoon. The cat runs faster with the bow.
+
+Jen and Tom run after the cat. They leave the box, the hat, the dress, and the pot behind. They forget to close the box.
+
+The wind blows. The wind takes the hat, the dress, and the pot away. They fly in the air. They land far away.
+
+Jen and Tom catch the cat. They get the bow back. They are happy. They go back to the box. But they do not see the hat, the dress, and the pot. They are gone.
+
+"Where are our things?" Jen says. She is sad.
+
+"Maybe the wind took them," Tom says. He is sad too.
+
+They look around. They do not find their things. They only have the bow and the spoon.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to take care of their things. They learn to close the box. They learn to share the bow and the spoon. They are still friends. They still have fun.
+Tom and Lily like to bake cakes with Mom. They help to mix the flour, the eggs, the butter and the sugar. They pour the batter into a pan and Mom puts it in the oven. They wait for the cake to be ready and smell the sweet aroma.
+
+When the cake is done, Mom takes it out and lets it cool. She gives Tom and Lily a slice each and they eat it with a big smile. They say it is the best cake ever and Mom is very successful.
+
+But they leave the rest of the cake on the table and forget to cover it. They go to play in the yard and have fun. They do not see the flies that come to the cake and land on it. They do not see the ants that crawl to the cake and nibble on it. They do not see the mold that grows on the cake and makes it green and fuzzy.
+
+The next day, Tom and Lily want to have more cake. They run to the table and see the cake. But it does not look like a cake anymore. It looks like a mess. It smells bad and it is rot. They are sad and disgusted. They say it is the worst cake ever and Mom is very unhappy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. Tom is scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom. It is fun. You can try," Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily. It is too high. I will fall. I will hurt my head," Tom says.
+
+Lily does not listen. She runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top. She smiles at Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom. I am brave. You can be brave too," Lily says.
+
+She slides down fast. She is happy. But then, she sees something green. It is a frog. The frog is on the slide. Lily screams. She cannot stop. She hits the frog. The frog jumps. It lands on Lily's head. Lily falls off the slide. She cries.
+
+Tom runs to Lily. He sees the frog on her head. He is scared too. He tries to help Lily. But the frog is angry. It bites Tom's finger. Tom cries too.
+
+The frog hops away. Lily and Tom are hurt. They are sad. They wish they did not go on the slide. They wish they listened to Tom. They learned a lesson. The slide is not fun. The frog is not nice. The park is not good. They want to go home.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play games. One day, they found a jar of olives in the kitchen. They decided to have a contest to see who could eat more olives.
+
+"I will win, because I love olives," said Lila.
+
+"No, I will win, because I am bigger and stronger," said Tom.
+
+They opened the jar and started to eat the olives. They ate and ate, but they did not count how many olives they ate. Soon, they felt sick and had tummy aches.
+
+"Stop, stop, I can't eat any more," said Lila.
+
+"Me too, I feel bad," said Tom.
+
+They looked at the jar and saw that it was empty. They had eaten all the olives.
+
+"Oh no, what have we done?" said Lila.
+
+"We were silly and greedy," said Tom.
+
+They ran to the bathroom and threw up. They felt very sorry and sad.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that eating too much is not good, and that winning is not always fun. They also learned that sharing is better than competing, and that olives are not so cute when they make you sick. They hugged and said sorry to each other, and promised to be more careful and kind next time.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden with their mom. Mom has a big box with dirt and seeds. She says they can grow flowers and vegetables.
+
+"Can I help, mom?" Ben asks. He is excited to see the seeds.
+
+"Of course, Ben. Here, take this packet of sunflower seeds. Make a small hole in the dirt and put one seed in. Then cover it with more dirt. Do you see the picture on the packet? That's how the sunflower will look when it grows."
+
+Ben nods and does what mom says. He makes many holes and puts many seeds in. He hopes they will grow fast and tall.
+
+Mia watches Ben and wants to help too. But she does not have any seeds. She looks around and sees her thumb. She remembers a story mom read to them about a boy who planted his thumb and grew a big tree.
+
+"I have an idea!" Mia says. She makes a hole in the dirt and puts her thumb in. Then she covers it with dirt. She smiles and waits for her thumb to grow.
+
+"Look, mom, I planted my thumb!" Mia says. "Will it grow like Ben's sunflowers?"
+
+Mom laughs and hugs Mia. She says, "Mia, you are very creative, but your thumb will not grow in the dirt. It will only grow with you. Come, let me help you take it out. We can find some more seeds for you to plant."
+
+Mia pulls out her thumb and sees that it is dirty. She wipes it on her dress and says, "OK, mom, let's find some more seeds. Maybe I can grow some carrots or beans."
+
+Mom, Ben and Mia find some more seeds and plant them in the dirt. They water them and sing to them. They are happy and excited to see what will grow in their garden.
+Tom was a very enthusiastic boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of toys, but his favorite one was a king. The king was a small doll with a crown and a cape. Tom liked to pretend that he was the king's friend and they had adventures together.
+
+One day, Tom and the king were playing in the garden. They saw a big butterfly with many colors. Tom wanted to catch the butterfly, so he ran after it. The king followed him, but he was slower. Tom reached out his hand to grab the butterfly, but it flew away. Tom was sad and he sat on the grass.
+
+"Where are you, king?" Tom asked. He looked around, but he could not see the king. He was worried that he had lost his toy. He started to cry.
+
+The king heard Tom's cry and he looked for him. He saw him sitting on the grass, with tears on his face. He felt sorry for Tom and he wanted to cheer him up. He walked towards him, but he was very small and the grass was very tall. He had to be careful not to get lost or stepped on.
+
+"Tom, I'm here!" the king shouted. He waved his cape and blinked his eyes. He hoped that Tom would see him.
+
+Tom heard the king's voice and he looked up. He saw a tiny flash of red and blue in the grass. He recognized the king's cape and eyes. He smiled and he got up. He ran to the king and he picked him up.
+
+"King, you're here! I'm so happy!" Tom said. He hugged the king and he wiped his tears.
+
+"I'm happy too, Tom. You're my best friend!" the king said. He hugged Tom back and he blinked his eyes.
+
+Tom and the king were happy again. They decided to play something else. They saw a big sandbox with a shovel and a bucket. They went there and they made a castle. They pretended that they were the king and the prince of the castle. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and put it in a jar.
+
+"Look, it is moving!" Lily said. "It is funny and slimy."
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to touch the worm, but he was afraid. He saw a pair of scissors on the table. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's cut the worm and see what is inside," he said. He took the scissors and opened the jar.
+
+Lily gasped. "No, Tom, don't do that! That is mean and bad. The worm will be hurt and sad."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the worm and tried to cut it. But the worm was too slippery and wiggly. It slipped out of his hand and fell on the ground.
+
+The worm was not happy. It crawled away as fast as it could. It found a shady spot under a leaf and hid there.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the worm. They felt sorry for it. They realized they had done something wrong.
+
+"Let's say sorry to the worm," Lily said. "Maybe it will forgive us."
+
+They went to the leaf and lifted it gently. They saw the worm there. It was not moving. It was dry and stiff.
+
+They had killed the worm.
+
+They cried and hugged each other. They buried the worm in the dirt and said a prayer.
+
+They learned a lesson. They never cut a living thing again. They respected all the creatures in the garden, even the unusual ones.
+Tom was a poor sailor who liked to write. He wrote stories about the sea and the fish and the stars. He wrote on old paper with a pen he found. He hoped that one day, someone would read his stories and like them.
+
+One day, he saw a big ship with many people on it. He thought they were friendly and wanted to talk to them. He took his paper and pen and got on a small boat. He rowed to the big ship and waved his hand.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom. I am a sailor and a writer. Do you want to see my stories?" he asked.
+
+The people on the big ship looked at him and laughed. They were not friendly. They were pirates. They wanted to take his paper and pen and his small boat. They grabbed him and threw him into the water.
+
+"Ha ha, you are a silly sailor and a bad writer. We do not want to see your stories. We want to see your money and your jewels. But you have none. You are poor and useless. Goodbye, Tom!" they said.
+
+Tom tried to swim, but he was tired and scared. He sank into the water and could not breathe. He wished he had stayed on his big boat and wrote his stories. He wished someone had read his stories and liked them. He wished he had a friend. But it was too late. Tom was gone.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. Mom was making a cake for dad's birthday. She let Lily stir the batter and add some sprinkles.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Mom encouraged her. "You are a great helper. Do you want to lick the spoon?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She loved the sweet taste of the cake batter. She licked the spoon and then put it back in the bowl.
+
+Mom did not see what Lily did. She poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and told Lily to play in the living room.
+
+Lily went to the living room and found her teddy bear. She pretended to make a cake for him. She used a thin book as a pan and some paper as sprinkles. She sang a happy song.
+
+The timer beeped. Mom took the cake out of the oven. It looked nice and golden. She let it cool and then put some frosting on it. She wrote "Happy Birthday Dad" with a blue icing. She put some candles on top.
+
+She called Lily and dad to the kitchen. They were ready to surprise dad with the cake. Dad came in and saw the cake. He smiled and hugged mom and Lily.
+
+"Wow, this looks amazing!" He said. "Thank you so much, my loves. Did you help mom, Lily?"
+
+Lily nodded and clapped her hands. She was proud of the cake. She wanted dad to taste it.
+
+Dad blew out the candles and cut a slice of cake. He took a big bite and then made a funny face. He spit out the cake and coughed.
+
+"Yuck! What is this?" He said. "This tastes awful!"
+
+Mom looked at the cake and saw the spoon. It was covered with saliva and batter. She realized what Lily did. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Lily, did you lick the spoon and put it back in the bowl?" She asked.
+
+Lily nodded and looked down. She did not know it was bad. She thought it was fun.
+
+Mom scolded Lily and told her to go to her room. She said she was very disappointed and that she ruined dad's birthday. Lily started to cry and ran to her room. She felt sorry and sad. She wished she did not lick the spoon. She wished she could make a new cake. She wished mom and dad would love her again.
+Anna liked to draw with her pencil. She drew flowers, stars, and faces. She was very good at drawing. She showed her drawings to her mom and dad. They smiled and said she was charming.
+
+One day, Anna found a new pencil. It was shiny and colorful. It had a button on the end. Anna pressed the button. The pencil started to spin. It spun very fast. Anna was amazed. She thought it was a magic pencil.
+
+She ran to show her mom and dad. She said, "Look, look, I have a magic pencil! It can spin!" She pressed the button again. The pencil spun in her hand.
+
+But mom and dad were not happy. They said, "Anna, that is not a magic pencil. That is a toy. It is not for drawing. It is for playing. You should not use it as a pencil. You might break it or hurt yourself."
+
+Anna did not listen. She said, "No, no, it is a magic pencil. I want to draw with it. It is fun." She ran away with the pencil.
+
+She tried to draw with the spinning pencil. But it did not work. The pencil made scribbles and smudges. It did not make flowers, stars, or faces. Anna was sad. She did not like her drawings. She wanted to make beautiful drawings.
+
+She went back to her mom and dad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. You were right. This is not a magic pencil. It is a toy. It is not for drawing. It is for playing. Can I have my old pencil back?"
+
+Mom and dad hugged her. They said, "Of course, Anna. We are glad you learned your lesson. Your old pencil is still here. You can draw with it as much as you want. You are charming with or without a magic pencil."
+
+Anna smiled. She took her old pencil. She drew flowers, stars, and faces. She was happy. She learned that drawing with a pencil is better than spinning with a toy. She learned to listen to her mom and dad. She learned to be happy with what she had.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. But they do not like to wear their scarfs. They say they are too itchy and hot.
+
+Mom says they have to wear their scarfs or they will get sick. She puts the scarfs around their necks and tells them to have fun. Anna and Ben run outside and make a snowman. They use a carrot for his nose and buttons for his eyes.
+
+But soon they start to feel too hot. They take off their scarfs and throw them on the ground. They think Mom will not see them. They are very stubborn.
+
+Mom looks out the window and sees the scarfs on the snow. She is not happy. She goes outside and picks up the scarfs. She sees Anna and Ben playing with the snowman. She calls them to come to her.
+
+Anna and Ben hear Mom and look at her. They see the scarfs in her hands. They know they are in trouble. They try to run away, but Mom is faster. She catches them and puts the scarfs back on them. She tells them they have to wear them or they will go inside.
+
+Anna and Ben do not want to go inside. They want to play with the snowman. They say they are sorry and promise to wear their scarfs. Mom smiles and gives them a hug. She tells them she loves them and wants them to be warm and healthy. She says they can play for a little longer, but then they have to come inside and have some hot cocoa.
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say they love Mom too. They go back to the snowman and give him a scarf too. They think he looks very cozy. They pass a snowball to each other and laugh. They are happy.
+Lila was a fish who liked to swim. She swam fast and far, but she had no friends. She was lonely. She wished she could find someone to swim with.
+
+One day, she saw a big rock with a hole. She was curious. She swam closer and peeked inside. She saw a bright light and heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" the voice said.
+
+Lila was scared. She swam back a little. "I'm Lila, a fish. Who are you?" she said.
+
+"I'm Remy, a crab. I live in this rock. Do you want to come in?" the voice said.
+

+
+Suddenly, Timmy heard a voice. "Hi there, little mouse! What are you doing?" It was his friend, Tommy the turtle. "I want to eat that cheese, but I can't do it yet," Timmy replied. "Why not?" asked Tommy. "Because I have to be quiet so the cat won't get me," Timmy explained.
