"It's just a big bird, nothing to worry about." + +Molly wiped her tears and smiled at her mommy. She slowly stepped back onto her sock and began to balance without any fear. But before she could finish, the big scary bird swooped down and grabbed her sock with its sharp claws. + +Molly screamed as she watched her sock fly away.

One day he was walking along the beach when he saw an octopus. It was a giant bossy octopus and Joe was very excited.

He thought it was a great idea and said, "Can I take you home, octopus?" + +The octopus didn't answer, so Joe said again, "Can I take you home?" +The octopus shook his head as if to say 'no'. Joe was disappointed, but he remembered that he should not take the octopus home. + +So he just waved at the octopus and said, "Bye, bye! See you around!"

It was a fun day for Joe and he always remembered his bossy octopus friend. +One day Mommy needed to go out, so she asked her three-year-old son to take care of his baby sister while she was away. + +Son: "OK, Mommy." + +Mommy: "Make sure you learn to be a good big brother by being patient and gentle. Do you understand?" + +Son: "Yes, Mommy." + +With Mommy gone, the two children were alone. The baby crawled around the room, pointing out things that looked interesting. Then she saw a chair and pointed at it. + +Son: "That's a chair. It's a graceful chair. Let me show you." +He picked up the baby and sat her on the chair, helping her learn how to hold onto the sides. + +Baby: "Chair!" + +Son: "Yes! You learned chair! Now you can use the chair to be calm and patient like me." + +The baby smiled, and the two children happily passed the time together.

He started flapping his wings furiously and ever so slowly, he lifted off the ground. + +Just as the caterpillar found himself mid-air, there was a loud crack of thunder and the branch he had been standing on broke off. Quickly, he started to lose air, while the broken branch slowly made it's way to the ground. + +Seeing that his friends were in danger, the caterpillar quickly flew towards the branch.

"I want to take a nap right here in the forest." + +Joe shook his head. "That's not a good idea. You know what my figure says? He says it's dangerous to take a nap in an unfamiliar place." + +But Tom didn't listen. He decided to take a nap in the forest, and soon he was snoring loudly. Joe was worried, but he was too tired to stay awake and watch his friend. + +Just as he drifted off to sleep, Joe felt something poking him in the back. He opened his eyes and saw a serious figure standing over him. + +"What do you have to say for yourself?" said the figure. "You should never have let your friend take a nap here! Don't be so careless, or you might get into trouble next time." + +Joe and Tom were very scared, so they quickly said goodbye and ran away. + +The moral of this story is to always be careful. Never let your friends do something that's dangerous, because it could get them into serious trouble. +Once upon a time there lived three little friends, Jake, Millie, and Daisy.

Joe understood that he should not be too noisy and nodded his head. + +Just then, Joe's friend Tom came over. Tom said, "Let me hear your whistle, Joe!"

He was just about to turn back home when he remembered something his mother had told him: “If ever you find yourself in a tough situation, use your own battery of courage.†+ +Baby Bunny took a deep breath and stepped into the tunnel. Nothing happened. He kept going until he eventually came out the other side. When he looked back at the tunnel, he saw that it was just an ordinary tunnel, like any other. + +Baby Bunny had faced his fears and learnt a valuable lesson: being brave is not about taking big risks or being extraordinary, it’s about daring to do the ordinary things that scare us in life. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Becky and her uncle.

She smiles and hugs the dog. The dog sniffs her hair and nuzzles her cheek. + +But then, the dog sees something funny. It is Lily's pants. They are pink and have flowers on them. The dog thinks they are a toy. It grabs Lily's pants with its teeth and pulls. + +"Hey, dog! No!" Lily says. She tries to keep her pants on. She does not smile. She is scared and sad. + +"Hey, dog! Stop!" Tom says. He tries to help Lily. He does not smile. He is angry and worried. + +The dog does not listen. It thinks it is a game. It pulls harder and harder. Lily's pants rip. They fall off. Lily has no pants. She cries. + +Tom and Lily are not happy. They are embarrassed and upset. They want to go home. + +The dog is happy. It has a new toy. It runs away with Lily's pants. It does not know it did something bad. It wags its tail and smiles. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden with their toy animals. They had a bear, a rabbit, a fox and a duck. They pretended that the animals were having a picnic on the grass. + +"Hello, bear," said Tom, making his toy bear talk. "Do you want some honey?" + +"Yes, please," said Lily, making her toy rabbit talk. "Honey is yummy." + +They gave some honey to the bear and the rabbit. Then they looked at the fox and the duck. + +"Hello, fox," said Tom. "Do you want some cheese?" + +"No, thank you," said Lily, making her toy fox talk. "I want the duck." + +The fox jumped at the duck and tried to grab it with his teeth. The duck quacked and flapped his wings. + +"Stop, fox!" said Tom. "That is not nice. The duck is our friend." + +But the fox was persistent. He did not listen to Tom. He shook the duck in his mouth and ran away. + +"Help, help!" said Lily, making the duck talk. "The fox is taking me!" + +Tom and Lily ran after the fox. They shouted and threw stones at him. The fox was scared. He dropped the duck and ran away. + +"Are you okay, duck?" asked Tom, picking up the toy duck. + +"Yes, I am okay," said Lily, making the duck talk. "Thank you for saving me." + +They hugged the duck and took him back to the picnic. They gave him some bread and water. They played with their toy animals until it was time to go inside. They were happy. +Lily and Max are playing in the living room. They like to pretend they are on a magic carpet. They use a big rug that is soft and pretty. It has many colors and shapes on it. + +"Let's lift the carpet and fly to the moon!" Lily says. She holds one corner of the rug and tries to lift it. + +"No, let's lift the carpet and go to the jungle!" Max says. He holds the other corner and pulls it the other way. + +They both tug and tug, but the carpet does not move. It is too heavy and big for them. They start to get angry and yell at each other. + +"Stop it, you are ruining the game!" Lily says. + +"No, you stop it, you are being bossy!" Max says. + +They hear a loud noise. It is Mom coming down the stairs. She sees them fighting over the carpet. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asks. "You are making a mess and a lot of noise. You are supposed to share and play nicely." + +Lily and Max look at each other. They feel sorry for making Mom upset. They let go of the carpet and hug each other. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they say. "We were playing magic carpet, but we wanted to go to different places." + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. She helps them fold the carpet and put it away. + +"Why don't you take turns and choose where to go?" Mom suggests. "You can use your imagination and have fun together." + +Lily and Max agree. They decide to take turns and choose where to go. They use their imagination and have fun together. They fly to the moon, the jungle, the ocean, and many other places. They are happy and Mom is happy too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They have fun. + +But then, they hear Mom call them. "Anna! Ben!

It is good for you. It has broccoli in it." Mom says. + +"Broccoli?" Ben says. He makes a face. He does not like broccoli. He thinks it is yucky. + +"Yes, broccoli. It is green and healthy. You need to try it, Ben." Mom says. She puts some soup in a bowl for him. + +Ben looks at the soup. He sees little green bits in it. He does not want to eat it. He pushes the bowl away. + +"No, thank you, Mom. I do not like broccoli." Ben says. + +"Please, Ben. Just one spoon. You might like it. Anna likes it. Don't you, Anna?" Mom says. + +Anna nods. She likes broccoli. She thinks it is tasty. She eats her soup with a smile. + +"See, Ben? Anna likes it. Why don't you try it?" Mom says. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to try it. He crosses his arms. + +"No, Mom. I do not like broccoli. I want something else." Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She does not know what to do. She loves Ben, but she wants him to eat healthy food. She thinks of an idea. + +"Okay, Ben. How about this? If you try one spoon of broccoli soup, I will give you a surprise. A good surprise. Do you want a surprise?" Mom says. + +Ben is curious. He likes surprises. He wonders what it is. + +"What is it, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"It is a secret. You will see. But you have to try one spoon of broccoli soup first. Deal?" Mom says. + +Ben thinks. He does not like broccoli, but he likes surprises. He decides to try it. + +"Okay, Mom. Deal. One spoon." Ben says. + +He picks up his spoon. He scoops some soup. He puts it in his mouth. He chews. He swallows. He makes a face. + +"How is it, Ben?" Mom asks. + +Ben thinks. He does not like it, but it is not so bad. He does not want to hurt Mom's feelings. + +"It is okay, Mom. Not yucky, but not yummy." Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Ben. He tried something new. + +"Good job, Ben. I am happy you tried it. You are a brave boy. Now, do you want your surprise?" Mom says. + +Ben nods. He is excited. He wants his surprise. + +"Yes, Mom. What is it?" Ben asks. + +Mom goes to the fridge. She opens it. She takes out something. She shows it to Ben. + +"It is ice cream, Ben. Your favorite. Chocolate ice cream. You can have some, because you tried the broccoli soup. Do you like it?" Mom says. + +Ben's eyes light up. He loves ice cream. He loves chocolate. He is very happy. + +"Yes, Mom. I like it. I love it. Thank you, Mom. You are the best." Ben says. + +He hugs Mom. Mom hugs him back.

Do you have a dog?" + +Lila and Ben are scared. They love Max and do not want to sell him. They run to their mom and tell her what the man said. Mom goes to the door and says, "No, we do not have a dog to sell. We have a dog to love. He is our family. Please go away." + +The man is angry. He says, "But I saw your dog in the yard. He is big and brown and has a black spot on his heel. He is perfect for my show. I will give you a lot of money for him." + +Mom says, "No, thank you. Money is not important. Max is important. He is happy and peaceful here. He does not want to go with you. He wants to stay with us. Please leave us alone." + +The man sees that Mom is serious. He knows he cannot take Max.

He sees Ben and Lily hiding behind the desk. He is angry. He says, "What did you do? You used my printer. You used my papers. You used my ink. These are not prints. These are documents. They are important. They are not cheap. They are expensive. You are in trouble." + +Ben and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We wanted to make prints. We wanted to have fun. We did not know. We did not mean to. Please do not be mad." + +Dad sighs. He says, "I am mad, but I am also glad. I am glad you are safe. I am glad you like to make prints. But you have to ask me first. You have to be careful. You have to respect my things. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "We understand, dad. We will ask you first. We will be careful. We will respect your things. Can we hug you?" + +Dad smiles. He says, "Yes, you can hug me. I love you, Ben and Lily. But you have to help me clean up. And you have to make me new prints. Prints of your drawings. Prints of your colors. Prints that make me happy." + +Ben and Lily hug dad. They say, "We love you, dad. We will help you clean up. We will make you new prints.

They ran to the bush and picked some berries with their hands. + +But the bush had sharp thorns that hurt their fingers. Lila and Ben felt uncomfortable and cried. They dropped the berries and ran back to their mom. Mom saw their fingers and said, "Oh, you poor things. You should not get berries from a thorny bush. They are not good for you. They can make you sick." + +Mom took them inside and washed their fingers. She put some cream and bandages on them. She gave them some cookies and milk to make them feel better. She said, "Next time, if you want some berries, ask me first. I can show you where to find some sweet and safe berries. And always be careful of what you touch. Some things can hurt you or make you unhappy." + +Lila and Ben learned their lesson. They said sorry to mom and thanked her for helping them. They decided to listen to mom and be more careful.

She liked to spin, jump, and bend her body in many ways. She was very flexible and happy. + +But one day, she felt a pain in her leg. She told her mom, who took her to the doctor. The doctor said she had a problem in her bone and needed an operation. Lily was scared and sad. + +"What is an operation?" she asked her mom. + +"An operation is when the doctor helps you fix your bone. He will make a small cut and put a metal thing inside. Then he will close the cut and put a bandage on it. You will have to rest for a while, but then you will be better," her mom explained. + +"Will I be able to dance again?" Lily wondered. + +"Yes, you will. The metal thing will make your bone stronger and you will still be flexible. You just have to be patient and brave," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She hoped the operation would be over soon and she could dance again. She wanted to become a dancer when she grew up. She knew she could do it. +Lily had a pet fish that she loved very much.

But when she looked at his bowl, she saw something disgusting. Bob was not swimming or playing. He was floating on the water, not moving at all. He looked sick and dirty. + +Lily started to cry. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, Bob is dead! He is disgusting! What happened to him?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Bob was very old for a fish. He lived a long and happy life with you. But sometimes, pets die and we have to say goodbye to them." + +Lily was very sad. She did not want to say goodbye to Bob. She wanted him to swim and play with her again. She said, "Can we get a new fish, Mom? A fish that will not die?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe, Lily. But first, we have to bury Bob and give him a nice funeral. We have to thank him for being your friend and wish him well in fish heaven." + +Lily nodded. She dried her tears and helped her mom find a small box and a shovel. They went to the backyard and dug a hole. They put Bob in the box and covered him with dirt. They said a prayer and put a flower on his grave. + +Lily felt a little better. She said, "Goodbye, Bob. I love you. I hope you are happy in fish heaven. Maybe you can meet other fish and play with them." + +Her mom said, "That's very sweet, Lily. I'm sure Bob loves you too. And I love you very much. Come on, let's go inside and have some breakfast. Maybe later, we can go to the pet store and see if they have any fish that you like." + +Lily smiled. She hugged her mom and said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you for helping me. You are the best mom ever." + +They went inside and had some breakfast. Lily still missed Bob, but she also felt excited to see the new fish. She hoped they would be friendly and fun.

You broke my prints! Go away!" + +Max did not care. He said, "Your prints are silly. They are not real. Cars are better. I will find my cars." + +Lily cried. She did not want to play with Max. She wanted to make new prints. She picked up her sponge and paint. She squeezed the paint on Max's shirt. She made a print of a big red X. + +Max was shocked. He felt the paint on his shirt. He saw the print of the X. He said, "Lily, you are mean! You stained my shirt! Why did you do that?" + +Lily said, "You stained my prints. You hurt my feelings. This is how I feel." + +Max and Lily looked at each other. They both felt sorry. They said, "I'm sorry" at the same time. They hugged and said, "I love you." + +They decided to share their toys and prints. They played together and had fun. They were not grumpy anymore. +Lily and Anna were best friends.

But Lily and Anna did not let go. + +"No, Tom! These are our beads! We found them first! They are for making bracelets!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily! These are my beads! I bought them with my money! They are for making models!" Tom said. + +They pulled and pushed. The box fell to the floor. The beads spilled everywhere. They rolled and bounced. Some of them went under the bed. Some of them went into the trash. Some of them went into the fish tank. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Anna cried. + +"Look what you did!" Tom yelled. + +They looked at the fish tank. The fish were swimming around the beads. They looked curious and happy. They did not seem to mind the beads. The beads were harmless. + +"Maybe the fish like the beads," Lily said. + +"Maybe they think they are food," Anna said. + +"Maybe they think they are friends," Tom said. + +They watched the fish for a while.

They played tag and hide-and-seek. They played with balls and blocks. They had a lot of fun. + +Lily saw a girl she did not know. She was sitting by herself. She looked sad and bored. She had no friends. Lily felt sorry for her. + +She went to her and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" + +The girl looked up and said, "I am Mia. I don't know anyone here. I came with my mom. She is friends with your aunt." + +Lily said, "Do you want to be my friend? Do you want to play with me and my cousin?" + +Mia shrugged. She did not know what to say. She did not know if Lily was nice or mean. She did not know if she could trust her. + +Lily said, "Come on, Mia. Don't be shy. It is a party. It is fun. I will show you around. I will introduce you to my friends. They are nice too. You will like them." + +Mia smiled. She liked Lily. She liked her voice and her eyes. She liked her kindness and her confidence. She decided to give her a chance. + +She said, "Okay, Lily. Thank you. I will be your friend. I will play with you and your cousin." + +Lily took Mia's hand and led her to the other kids.

They made her laugh and feel comfortable. + +Mia was happy. She made new friends. She had fun. She thanked Lily for being nice to her. + +Lily was happy too. She helped Mia. She made her happy. She was a good friend. + +They both enjoyed the party. They ate cake and sang songs. They opened presents and played more. They hugged and said goodbye. + +Lily and Mia became best friends. They played together at school and at home. They invited each other to their parties. They shared their secrets and dreams. + +They were popular girls. They had many friends. But they never forgot each other. They always stayed together. They always helped each other. They always had fun. +Tom was a cat who liked to search for meat. He did not like to eat dry food or milk. He wanted to eat birds or mice or fish. But it was hard to find meat in the city. There were many cars and dogs and people who scared him. + +One day, Tom saw a big truck with a picture of a cow on it. He thought there might be meat inside. He followed the truck to a distant place where there were many buildings and noises. He saw the truck stop and open its back. He smelled meat. He was very hungry. + +Tom ran to the truck and jumped inside. He saw many boxes and bags of meat. He was very happy. He bit one of the bags and tore it open. He tasted meat. He was very satisfied. + +But then he heard a loud voice. It was a man who worked for the truck. He saw Tom and was very angry. He shouted and grabbed a stick. He hit Tom with the stick. He hurt Tom. He threw Tom out of the truck. He closed the truck and drove away. + +Tom was very sad and scared. He had meat in his mouth, but he also had blood and pain. He ran away from the distant place. He wished he had stayed at home. He learned that searching for meat was not always good. He decided to eat dry food and milk from now on. He hoped to find a kind friend who would give him some. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's juice on the table. He was thirsty and wanted to drink it. + +"Can I have some juice?" he asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your own juice in the kitchen." + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed Lily's juice and took a big sip. Lily was angry. She snatched her juice back and shouted at Tom. + +"Hey, that's not fair! Give me my juice!" + +Tom did not like Lily's shout. He threw the juice at Lily and made her wet and sticky. Lily cried and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, Tom took my juice and threw it at me!" she sobbed. + +Mom was angry too. She came to the living room and saw the mess. She scolded Tom and made him wipe the juice from the floor and the sofa. She also made him say sorry to Lily and share his juice with her. + +Tom felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He wiped the juice and said sorry to Lily. He gave her some of his juice and asked her to play with him again. + +Lily forgave Tom. She smiled and hugged him.

She rolled her hoop along the path and tried to spring over it. She was very brave and good at jumping. Tom clapped and cheered for her. + +But then, something bad happened. Jen's hoop rolled into a big pile of mud. It was brown and sticky and disgusting. Jen did not see it and jumped over it. But she landed in the mud too. She was covered in mud from head to toe. She felt wet and cold and yucky. + +"Yuck, Jen!" Tom said. He ran to help her. He tried to pull her out of the mud. But he slipped and fell in the mud too. He was covered in mud from head to toe. He felt wet and cold and yucky. + +"Yuck, Tom!" Jen said. They looked at each other and started to cry. They did not like the mud. They wanted to be clean and dry and happy. + +"Come here, Jen and Tom!" a voice said. It was Jen's mom. She had seen them from the bench. She had a towel and a bottle of water. She came to clean them and hug them. She was not angry. She was kind and gentle. + +"It's okay, Jen and Tom," she said. "It was an accident. You can still play. But next time, watch out for the mud. And maybe use a different hoop." She smiled and kissed them. + +Jen and Tom smiled and kissed her back. They felt better. They thanked her and said sorry. They took the towel and the water and cleaned themselves and their toys. They threw away the hoop. It was too disgusting. They did not want it anymore. They found a new hoop. It was bright and shiny and clean. They decided to play with it. They rolled it and jumped over it. They had fun. They were careful. They did not spring into the mud again. +Sam and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they found pretty ones that they could keep. + +One day, they saw a big shell that was different from the others. It was gray and round and had a crack in it. Sam picked it up and opened it. Inside, there was a shiny white ball. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "It's a pearl!" + +Lily looked at the shell and the pearl. She recognized it. It was an oyster. She had seen one in a book before. + +"Sam, that's an oyster," she said. "You can't keep it. It belongs to the sea." + +Sam frowned. He liked the pearl. He wanted to keep it. He thought it was special. + +"No, it's mine," he said. "I found it. It's broken anyway. The sea doesn't want it." + +Lily shook her head. She knew that the oyster was alive. She knew that the pearl was part of it. She knew that the sea cared for it. + +"Sam, please, give it back to the sea," she said. "The oyster is not broken. It made the pearl. It's its treasure. The sea will miss it." + +Sam and Lily argued. They both wanted the oyster and the pearl. They both thought they were right. They did not listen to each other. + +Then, they heard a splash. They turned and saw a big wave coming. It was fast and strong. It reached the shore and washed over them. It took the oyster and the pearl from Sam's hand. It carried them back to the sea. + +Sam and Lily were wet and sad. They had lost the oyster and the pearl. They had also lost their fun. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had shared. They wished they had been kind to the oyster and the sea. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She imagined she was a fairy, a princess, or a star. She wore her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She felt happy and free. + +One day, she went to a party with her mom and dad. There were many other kids there. They played games, ate cake, and sang songs. Lily wanted to dance, but she was shy. She saw a boy with a red hat. He looked funny and nice. She smiled at him. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. I like to dance. Do you like to dance?" she answered. + +"No, I don't. Dancing is silly and boring. You look silly in your dress. It's too tight. You can't move well. You should play something else," he said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her dress. It was not too tight. She could move well. She did not want to play something else. She wanted to dance. + +She said, "No, you are silly and boring. Dancing is fun and beautiful. You look funny in your hat. It's too big. You can't see well. You should dance with me." + +Ben felt mad and hurt. He liked his hat. It was not too big. He could see well. He did not want to dance with her. He wanted to play something else. + +He said, "No, you are fun and beautiful. Dancing is silly and boring. You look silly in your dress. It's too tight. You can't move well. You should play with me." + +They stared at each other. They did not like each other. They did not want to be friends. They turned away and walked to different corners of the room. + +Lily and Ben missed a chance to have fun and learn from each other. They did not imagine how they could dance and play together. They did not see how they could be silly and beautiful at the same time. They did not feel happy and free. +Anna liked to jog with her dad every morning. They jogged around the park and saw many things. They saw birds, flowers, dogs and people. Anna liked to say hello to everyone. + +One day, they jogged past a big house with a fence.

"I'm Ben. Nice to meet you," he said. + +"Why are you sad?" Anna asked. + +"I'm not sad. I'm just bored. I have to stay home and study. I'm gifted, you know. I can read big words and do hard math. But I don't have any friends to play with," Ben said. + +Anna thought for a moment. She liked to play and have fun. She also liked to learn new things. She had an idea. + +"Do you want to jog with me and my dad? We can see many things and have fun. You can also teach me some big words and hard math. Maybe we can be friends," she said. + +Ben's eyes lit up. He put down his book and ran to get his shoes. He asked his mom if he could go.

Ben says. He shows Lily his tower. It is very tall and has many blocks. + +"Wow, that is a good tower!" Lily says. She wants to make a tower too. She looks for more blocks. She sees a rubber on the table. It is yellow and soft. She thinks it is a block. She takes the rubber and adds it to her tower. + +But the rubber is not a block. It is bendy and squishy. It does not stay on the tower. It falls off and makes the tower fall down. Lily's tower is broken. She is sad and angry. + +"That is a bad rubber!" Lily says. She throws the rubber at Ben. It hits his tower and makes it fall down too. Ben's tower is broken. He is sad and angry too. + +"That is a bad Lily!" Ben says. He throws a block at Lily. It hits her head and hurts her. She cries. + +"Ow, that is a bad Ben!" Lily says. She cries louder. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken towers, the rubber, the block, and the crying children. + +"What is going on here?" Mom says. She is not happy. She picks up the rubber and the block. She puts them away.

She gives them a kiss and helps them build a new tower together. They use only blocks. They make a bigger and better tower. They are happy again. +Ben and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the music box. The music box has many buttons with different colors and sounds. When they press a button, the music box plays a sound.

They press the yellow button and hear a bell. They press the green button and hear a guitar. They press the purple button and hear a piano.

They are happy and enjoy the music. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries on it. They wanted to eat some, but they did not know if they were good or bad. + +"Let's ask Mom," Tom said. He ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. "Mom, can we eat these berries?" he asked, holding one in his hand. + +Mom looked at the berry and smiled. "Yes, you can, but only a few. They are very sweet, but too many can make your tummy hurt. And be polite and share with Mia, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you!" Tom said. He ran back to Mia and gave her a berry. "Here, Mia. Mom said we can eat them, but only a few. They are very sweet." + +Mia took the berry and thanked Tom. She bit into it and made a happy sound. "Mmm, they are very sweet. Thank you, Tom. You are very polite." + +They ate a few more berries, but then they saw a bird flying over the bush. The bird was hungry and wanted some berries too. It swooped down and tried to catch a berry in its beak. + +Tom and Mia saw the bird and got scared. They did not want the bird to take their berries. They shouted and waved their arms to scare the bird away. + +"Go away, bird! These are our berries!" Tom yelled. + +"Shoo, shoo, bird! Leave us alone!" Mia cried. + +The bird was startled and flew away. It did not catch any berries. Tom and Mia were happy and hugged each other. They had saved their berries. + +But then they heard Mom calling them. "Tom, Mia, it's time to go home. Come on, let's go." + +Tom and Mia looked at each other and sighed. They had to leave their berries behind. They picked one more each and put them in their pockets.

We ate some berries and scared a bird," Tom said. + +"They were very sweet and we were very polite," Mia added. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I'm glad you had fun.

They decided to save them for later, as a special treat. They had had a good day. +Sam and Mia liked to watch videos on the big screen. They saw many things, like animals, cars, and stars. Sometimes they saw scary things, like monsters, snakes, and storms. Sam and Mia would hold hands and hide under a blanket when they saw scary things. + +One day, they watched a video about plants. They saw how plants grow from seeds, and how they need water and sun. They saw how plants make flowers and fruits, and how they help other animals. Sam and Mia thought plants were very nice and pretty. + +They wanted to grow their own plants. They asked their mom for some seeds and a pot. Their mom gave them some beans and a pot with soil. She told them to put the beans in the soil, and to water them every day. She said they would see the beans grow soon. + +Sam and Mia did what their mom said. They put the beans in the soil, and watered them every day. They put the pot near the window, where the sun could shine on it. They waited and waited, but they did not see anything grow. + +They were sad and bored. They wanted to watch another video. They asked their mom for the remote. Their mom said no. She said they had to be patient and brave. She said growing things takes time and care. She said they would be surprised and happy when they saw their plants grow. + +Sam and Mia did not like to wait. They wanted to see their plants grow now. They thought their mom was wrong. They thought their beans were bad. They thought they would never grow. + +But they were wrong. One morning, when they looked at the pot, they saw something green and small poking out of the soil.

Ben said. + +They moved the pot to the stove and turned the knob. They did not know the stove was hot.

She said they were lucky the pot was dry and did not catch fire. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry and hugged mom. They learned their lesson and never played with the stove again. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She also had many gifts from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and said thank you. + +But there was one gift that was very weird. It was a big box with holes and it made strange noises. Sara was curious and scared. She did not know what was inside. She asked her mom, "What is this?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "It is a surprise. You have to open it and see." + +Sara took a deep breath and opened the box. She saw a furry thing with big ears and a long tail. It looked at her and said, "Meow!" + +Sara was surprised and happy. It was a kitten! She loved kittens. She picked it up and hugged it. It purred and licked her face. Sara said, "Thank you, mom! This is the best gift ever!" + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Sara. I think you will be a good friend to the kitten.

They see their teacher. She is worried. She hugs them and says, "I'm glad you are okay. But I'm also sad. You did not follow me. You did not join the activity. You missed a lot of fun. And you took someone else's ball. That was not nice. How do you feel?" + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say, "We feel bad. We are sorry. We made a mistake. We will not do it again. We will follow you. We will be alert. We will be good friends." + +Their teacher smiles. She says, "That's good. I forgive you. But you have to return the ball.

He is smaller than the others and has a red nose. He looks sad and lonely. Anna and Ben want to be his friends. They walk slowly to him and say hello. + +But the new reindeer does not say hello back. He snorts and stamps his feet. He says, "Go away! I don't want to play with you. You are not reindeer. You are silly and small and have no horns. You are rude!" + +Anna and Ben are hurt and surprised. They are not rude. They are nice and friendly. They do not understand why the new reindeer is so mean. They turn around and run back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. + +Their mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my darlings. The new reindeer is not rude. He is just scared and shy. He does not know how to make friends. Maybe he will learn to be kinder if you give him some time and space. Maybe he will see that you are good and fun and have big hearts. Maybe he will want to play with you someday." +Sam liked lollipops very much. He had a big jar of lollipops in his room. He liked to eat one every day after lunch.

She said they needed to buy some milk and eggs and bread. Sam asked if he could bring a lollipop with him. His mom said yes, but only one. Sam ran to his room and opened his jar.

His mom laughed and said, "That's amazing, Sam. You are very lucky. But don't forget to brush your teeth later, okay?" Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom. But can I have another red lollipop tomorrow?" His mom winked and said, "Maybe, Sam. Maybe." +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily likes the ducks. She says, "Look, Tom, the ducks are so graceful. They swim and dive and flap their wings. Can we feed them?" + +Tom nods and takes out some bread from his bag. He breaks it into small pieces and throws them into the water. The ducks come closer and make loud noises. They open their beaks and eat the bread. Lily and Tom hear them quack and laugh. + +But one duck is not happy. He is wet and cold. He does not like the bread. He wants something else. He sees Tom's bag and thinks it has more food. He swims to the edge of the pond and jumps out. He waddles to the bag and pecks at it. + +Tom sees the duck and shouts, "Hey, duck, stop that! That's my bag! You can't have it!" He runs to the duck and tries to grab his bag. But the duck is faster. He runs away with the bag in his mouth. + +Lily and Tom chase the duck. They run and run, but the duck is too quick. He goes behind a tree and disappears.

He has dropped the bag and is smiling. He has played a trick on them. He thinks it is funny. + +Lily and Tom are not amused. They pick up their bag and check if anything is missing. They see that the duck has eaten their cookies and their juice. They have nothing left to eat or drink. They are hungry and thirsty. + +They glare at the duck and say, "Bad duck, bad duck, bad duck! You are not graceful. You are greedy and mean. We don't like you. Go away!" + +The duck shrugs and says, "Quack, quack, quack!" He jumps back into the pond and swims away. He does not care.
