She said, "Hey, kids, do you want some more olives? I have a special jar for you. They are very yummy. You will love them." + +Mia and Leo looked at each other. They remembered the bad taste of the olives. They shook their heads and said, "No, thank you, mom. We don't like olives. We like cookies." + +Mom smiled and said, "Okay, then. Maybe next time. But remember, you should not steal things that are not yours. You should always ask before you take something. And you should not be nosy about things that are not for you.

She did not set the timer. + +Lily went to play with her models. She forgot about the cake. She made a big dragon with red clay. She gave it wings and teeth and a tail.

Lily's mom says, "That is not a good reason to tease her. You should ask nicely and wait for your turn. How would you feel if Lily teased you?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "I would feel sad and angry. I don't like to be teased." Lily's mom says, "Then you should not tease others. You should be kind and dependable. That is how you can be a good friend." Ben says, "You are right. I'm sorry, Lily. Can I say sorry to you?" Lily says, "Yes, you can say sorry. And you can play with my red car for a minute. But then you have to give it back."

They wondered what was behind the crack. Maybe there was a secret room or a treasure or a monster.

The crack made a loud noise and got bigger. + +"No, Tom, don't do that!" Lily said. She was scared and worried. "You will make the wall fall down. You will make Mom and Dad angry. They will be very mad at us." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He hit the crack again and again. He wanted to see what was inside. He did not care about the wall or Mom and Dad. He was curious and stubborn. + +Suddenly, the crack opened up and a lot of dust and dirt came out. Tom and Lily coughed and sneezed. They could not see anything. They heard a loud crash and a scream. + +Mom and Dad came running into the living room. They saw the mess and the hole in the wall. They saw Tom and Lily covered in dust and dirt. They were very angry. + +"Tom and Lily, what have you done?" Mom shouted. "You have ruined the wall. You have made a big problem. You have been very naughty." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We saw a crack and we wanted to see what was inside. We did not mean to break the wall." + +Mom and Dad sighed and shook their heads. They said, "You should not have done that, Tom and Lily. You should have asked us first.

You have to help us fix the wall. You have to learn from this. You have to be better next time." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We love you, too. We are sorry. We will help. We will learn. We will be better." + +They cleaned up the mess and helped Mom and Dad fix the wall. They learned to discuss things before they do them. They learned to respect the wall and Mom and Dad. They learned to be more careful and less curious. They still played with their blocks, but they did not make any more cracks. +Mia and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many people and animals.

They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily's car hit Sam's car and broke its wheel. Sam was very sad and angry. He shouted at Lily and said, "You broke my car! You are a bad sister! You made me suffer!" He grabbed Lily's car and threw it on the floor. Lily started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, Sam! I didn't mean to break your car! You are a mean brother! You made me suffer too!" + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the broken cars and the crying children. They were not happy. They said, "Lily and Sam, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to play theater nicely. You are supposed to share and care for each other. You are supposed to make each other happy, not suffer." + +Lily and Sam felt sorry for what they did. They said, "We're sorry, mom and dad. We were playing theater, but we got carried away. We didn't mean to hurt each other. We love each other." They hugged and said sorry to each other. They picked up the broken cars and said, "Maybe we can fix them. Maybe we can play theater with something else. Maybe we can play something peaceful." + +Mom and dad smiled and said, "That's a good idea. We're glad you made up. We love you both. You are our stars." They helped them fix the cars and gave them some cookies and milk. They watched them play theater with their dolls and books. They were peaceful and happy. They clapped and cheered for their show. +Tom and Lily were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Tom had a big shield made of cardboard and Lily had a red scarf tied around her neck. They pretended to fight each other with sticks. + +"Roar! I am a fierce dragon and I will breathe fire on you!" Lily said, waving her scarf. + +"Oh no! You are too scary for me!" Tom said, hiding behind his shield. "But I am a brave knight and I have a secret weapon!" + +"What is it?" Lily asked, curious. + +Tom ran to the kitchen and came back with a bottle of hot sauce. He opened it and squirted some on Lily's scarf. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! That is spicy! That hurts my nose!" Lily cried, dropping her scarf and rubbing her face. + +"Ha ha! I got you! I win!" Tom said, laughing. + +"That is not fair! That is cheating!" Lily said, angry. "You are a mean knight!" + +She ran after Tom and tried to grab his shield. They both fell on the grass and started to wrestle. + +"Stop! Stop! You are tickling me!" Tom said, giggling. + +"Say sorry! Say sorry!" Lily said, tickling him back. + +They both laughed and hugged each other. They were not really mad. They were just having fun. + +They decided to play something else. They left the shield and the scarf on the ground and went to look for their dog. They did not see the squirrel that came out of the tree and took the hot sauce. The squirrel sniffed the bottle and tasted it. It made a funny face and trembled. It did not like the spicy sauce at all. It threw the bottle away and ran back to the tree. It wished it had a shield to protect its nose. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. Lily had a big block and Ben had a small block. They tried to put them together, but they did not fit. + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "Your block is too small. It will fall down." + +"But I like my block," Ben said. "It is blue and shiny. It has a star on it." + +Lily shook her head. "It does not matter. It does not fit. We need blocks that fit. Like this one." She showed Ben another big block. It was red and dull. It had a scratch on it. + +Ben did not like the red block. He thought it was ugly and boring. He did not want to give up his blue block. He had an idea. He looked around and saw a book on the floor. He picked it up and put it on top of his blue block. + +"Look!" he said. "Now my block is big. It will fit with your block." + +Lily looked at Ben's block and book. She frowned. She did not think it was a good idea. She thought it was cheating. She did not want to use a book. She wanted to use blocks. + +"That is not a block," she said. "That is a book. You cannot use a book. It is not fair." + +Ben did not care. He was proud of his idea. He thought it was clever and successful. He wanted to make the tower. He pushed his block and book towards Lily's block. + +"Come on," he said. "Let's make the tower. It will be fun." + +Lily did not want to. She was angry and sad. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She pulled her block away from Ben's block and book. She said, "No, thank you. I do not want to play with you. You are not nice. You are not my friend." + +Ben was surprised and hurt. He did not understand why Lily was so mad. He did not mean to make her mad. He just wanted to make the tower. He liked the tower. He liked Lily. He wanted to be her friend. + +He said, "But, Lily, I am sorry. I am nice. I am your friend. Please, play with me. Please, make the tower with me." + +Lily did not listen. She turned away from Ben. She took her block and went to another corner. She played by herself. She did not look at Ben. + +Ben was sad and lonely. He looked at his block and book. He looked at the tower. He looked at Lily. He wished he had not used the book. He wished he had used a block. He wished he had made Lily happy. He wished he had been a better friend. +Lily and Sam were going on a big plane with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the clouds and the sky. They had small bags with their toys and snacks. + +When they got to the airport, they had to wait in a long line. They saw a man with a blue hat and a badge. He was the pilot. He was going to fly the plane. Lily and Sam wanted to say hello to him. + +But the pilot was very rude. He did not smile or wave. He said, "You are too late. You have to hurry up. And your bags are too heavy. You have to weigh them and pay more money." + +Lily and Sam felt sad and scared. They did not like the pilot. They did not want to go on his plane. They looked at their mom and dad. + +Their mom and dad were not happy either. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We are not late. We have our tickets and our boarding passes. And our bags are not too heavy. They are the right size and weight. You are being very mean and unfair." + +The pilot did not listen. He said, "I don't care. You have to do what I say. Or you can't go on the plane." + +Lily and Sam started to cry. They did not want to miss the plane. They did not want to leave their bags. They did not want to be with the rude pilot. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was another man with a blue hat and a badge. He was also a pilot. He said, "Hello, everyone. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'm the co-pilot. I'm going to fly the plane with this man. But he is not feeling well. He is very grumpy and tired. He needs to rest and drink some water. I will take care of you and your bags. Don't worry. You can go on the plane. You will have a nice and safe trip." + +Lily and Sam stopped crying. They smiled and thanked the co-pilot. He was very kind and friendly. He helped them with their bags and gave them stickers. He said, "You are very brave and polite. You are the best passengers. I hope you enjoy the flight." + +Lily and Sam felt happy and relieved. They liked the co-pilot. They wanted to go on his plane. They hugged their mom and dad and followed the co-pilot. They hoped the rude pilot would feel better soon. They looked forward to seeing the clouds and the sky. +Dan and Tom were friends who liked to play baseball. They had a big field near their homes where they could run and throw and catch. One day, they saw a new boy in the field. He had a shiny red bat and a new glove. He was hitting the ball very far and catching it very well. + +"Wow, he is good!" Dan said. "I wish I had a bat like that." + +"Me too," Tom said. "He must have a lot of money." + +They felt envious of the new boy. They wanted to have what he had. They decided to go and talk to him. + +"Hi, we are Dan and Tom. We like to play baseball too. Can we join you?" Dan asked. + +"Sure, I'm Ben. I'm new here. I just moved from another town. I don't have any friends here yet," Ben said. + +They started to play together. Dan and Tom noticed that Ben was very nice and friendly. He shared his bat and glove with them. He taught them some tips and tricks. He praised them when they did well. + +"Wow, you are fast!" Ben said to Dan. "You can run to the bases very quickly." + +"Thanks, you are strong!" Dan said to Ben. "You can hit the ball very far." + +"And you are smart!" Ben said to Tom. "You can catch the ball very well." + +"Thanks, you are kind!" Tom said to Ben. "You are a good teacher." + +They had a lot of fun playing baseball. They forgot about being envious. They realized that having a good friend was more important than having a good bat. They learned to be happy with what they had and to share with others. They became good friends with Ben. They raised their hands and cheered. They had a great day. +Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They are excited. What is in the box? + +"Let's open it!" Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a secret," Ben says. "Maybe someone hid it here." + +They look around. No one is watching. They open the box. Inside, they see many toys. There are dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. They are very happy. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Sara says. "Can we play with them?" + +"Sure, why not?" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Maybe the toys belong to someone else." + +They take out some toys and start to play. Sara picks a doll. She likes dolls. She makes the doll talk and walk. Ben picks a car. He likes cars. He makes the car zoom and beep. + +They have fun with the toys. They share and take turns. They make up stories and laugh. They encourage each other to try new things. + +"Look, Sara, I can make the car jump over the book!" Ben says. + +"That's awesome, Ben! Can you teach me how to do that?" Sara says. + +"Sure, Sara, it's easy. You just have to push the car hard and lift it up!" Ben says. + +They play with the car and the book. They make the car jump higher and higher. They clap and cheer. + +They are having a great time. They forget about the time. They forget about the box. They forget about the secret. They only remember their friendship. +Tom is a young boy who likes to draw. He draws many things with his crayons: a sun, a tree, a house, a cat. He also likes to make symbols with his crayons: a star, a heart, a smiley face. He thinks symbols are fun and pretty. + +One day, he shows his drawings to his mom. He points to each symbol and says what it means. "This is a star. It means I wish for something. This is a heart. It means I love you. This is a smiley face. It means I am happy." + +His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "You are very smart, Tom. You can speak with symbols. Symbols are a way to say things without words. Do you know who else can speak with symbols?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know. + +His mom says, "Animals can speak with symbols. They use sounds, smells, and movements to tell each other things. For example, a dog wags its tail to show it is friendly. A bee dances to show where the flowers are. A bird sings to show its territory." + +Tom is amazed. He says, "Wow, animals are smart too. Can I speak with animals?" + +His mom says, "You can try, but they may not understand you. They have different symbols than you. But you can watch them and learn from them. Maybe you can draw some animal symbols too." + +Tom likes this idea. He says, "Yes, I want to draw animal symbols. Can we go to the zoo?" + +His mom says, "Sure, we can go to the zoo. Maybe you can find some new friends who can speak with symbols." + +Tom is excited. He grabs his crayons and his paper. He says, "Let's go, mom. I want to speak with the animals." +Sara and Ben were playing with bubbles in the park. They liked to blow big bubbles and watch them fly in the air. Sara had a pink bubble wand and Ben had a blue one. + +"Look, Sara, I can make a huge bubble!" Ben said, as he blew a bubble as big as his head. + +"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Sara said, as she clapped her hands. "Can I try your blue wand?" + +"Sure, Sara, you can try it. But be careful, it's very special. It can change the color of the bubbles!" Ben said, as he handed her the wand. + +Sara took the wand and blew a bubble. She was surprised to see that the bubble was orange, not blue. + +"Wow, Ben, you're right! This wand can change the color of the bubbles! How did you do that?" Sara asked, as she blew another orange bubble. + +"I don't know, Sara, I just found it in the grass. Maybe it's magic!" Ben said, as he smiled. + +Sara and Ben had fun blowing orange bubbles with the blue wand. They laughed and chased the bubbles around the park. + +But then, a big dog came running towards them. The dog saw the orange bubbles and wanted to catch them. He barked and jumped and popped the bubbles with his teeth. + +"Hey, stop it, dog! Those are our bubbles!" Ben shouted, as he tried to protect the wand. + +"Go away, dog! You're scaring us!" Sara cried, as she hugged Ben. + +The dog didn't listen. He wanted more bubbles. He snatched the wand from Ben's hand and ran away with it. + +"Come back, dog! Give us our wand!" Ben and Sara yelled, as they ran after the dog. + +But the dog was too fast. He disappeared behind a tree with the wand. + +Ben and Sara were sad. They lost their special wand. They couldn't make orange bubbles anymore. + +They sat on the grass and cried. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I wanted to try your wand and now it's gone." Sara said, as she wiped her tears. + +"No, Sara, it's not your fault. It's the dog's fault. He was mean and greedy. He took our wand." Ben said, as he hugged Sara. + +"Maybe we can find another wand. Maybe we can make other colors of bubbles." Sara said, as she tried to cheer up. + +"Maybe, Sara, maybe. But I liked the orange bubbles. They were special." Ben said, as he sighed. + +They looked at the sky and wished they could see orange bubbles again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box is brown and has a pink ribbon on it. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Sara asks. + +"Let's open it and see!" Ben says. + +They open the box and find many toys inside. There are dolls, cars, balls, books, and puzzles. Sara and Ben are very happy. They start to play with the toys. + +But soon, they start to fight. Sara wants the pink doll and Ben wants the blue car. They pull and tug at the toys. They yell and cry. + +"Give me the doll! It is mine!" Sara says. + +"No, give me the car! It is mine!" Ben says. + +They are so angry that they do not see a man coming. The man is wearing a uniform and a hat. He is the owner of the box. He is a toy seller. He was going to give the toys to some children who have no toys. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my box?" the man asks. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the toys and run away. They feel bad for taking the toys. They wish they had not fought. + +They learn a lesson. They learn that it is wrong to take things that are not theirs. They learn that it is better to share and be kind. They say sorry to each other and to the man. They promise to be good friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today it is raining. They are sad. + +Mama says, "Do you want to do something fun inside?" Lily and Ben nod. Mama suggests, "How about we make a puppet show with your stuffed animals?" + +Lily and Ben think that is a good idea. They run to their room and get their stuffed animals. They have a bear, a bunny, a dog, and a cat. They also get an umbrella from the closet. + +They go to the living room and set up the umbrella as a stage. They hide behind the umbrella and make their stuffed animals talk. They make up a story about a famous circus. The bear is the ringmaster, the bunny is the acrobat, the dog is the clown, and the cat is the lion. + +They have a lot of fun making their puppet show. Mama watches and claps. She says, "You are very creative and talented. I love your puppet show." Lily and Ben smile. They are happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to decorate the big tree in the garden. They had many shiny things to hang on the branches. They also had a star for the top. + +"Let me put the star, Lily!" Tom said. He was competitive and wanted to do everything first. + +"No, Tom, I want to put the star!" Lily said. She was also competitive and did not like to share. + +They both pulled the star and tried to climb the ladder. But the ladder was wobbly and they fell down. The star broke into pieces and they hurt themselves. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He had pain in his arm and his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She had pain in her head and her elbow. + +Mama heard their cries and came to the garden. She saw the broken star and the sad children. + +"Oh, my dears, what happened?" Mama asked. She hugged them and kissed their wounds. + +"We wanted to decorate the tree, but we fought over the star and we fell down," Tom said. + +"We were too competitive and we did not work together," Lily said. + +Mama nodded and smiled. She said, "I'm sorry you have pain, but I'm glad you learned a lesson. Decorating the tree is more fun when you cooperate and share. Do you want to try again?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, Mama, we want to try again. And we will be nice to each other." + +Mama helped them find a new star and some glue. They fixed the star and hung it on the top of the tree. They also hung the shiny things on the branches. They decorated the tree together and they were happy. +Ben and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like the same things. Ben likes hockey. He has a hockey stick and a puck. He likes to hit the puck with the stick and score goals. Tom hates hockey. He thinks it is boring and hard. He likes to draw and read books. + +One day, Ben and Tom go to the park. Ben brings his hockey stick and puck. He wants to play hockey with Tom. But Tom does not want to play hockey. He wants to draw and read books. He says to Ben, "Hockey is stupid. I hate hockey. Let's do something else." + +Ben gets angry. He says to Tom, "Hockey is fun. You are stupid. I hate you. Go away." He pushes Tom and takes his book. He throws the book on the ground and stomps on it. Tom cries. He says to Ben, "You are mean. You are not my friend. Give me back my book." + +Ben does not listen. He laughs and runs away with his hockey stick and puck. He does not care about Tom. He does not care about the book. He only cares about hockey. Tom is sad. He picks up his book. It is torn and dirty. He has no friend. He has no fun. He hates Ben. He hates hockey. He hates the park. He wants to go home. +Tim and Mia like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. Some rocks are hard and some are soft. Some rocks are shiny and some are dull. Tim and Mia call the rocks minerals. + +One day, Tim and Mia find a big rock that is very special. It is flexible. That means it can bend and twist without breaking. Tim and Mia are amazed. They want to show their rock to their mom and dad. + +They take the rock to their room and get their toy camera. They pretend to be reporters and record a video about their rock. They say, "Hello, we are Tim and Mia and we have a very special mineral. It is flexible. Look how it can bend and twist. It is so cool and fun. We found it in the backyard. We think it is a rare and valuable mineral. Maybe we can sell it and buy more toys." + +They finish their video and play it back. They laugh and clap. They are very proud of their video and their rock. They run to the living room and show their video and their rock to their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad watch the video and smile. They hug Tim and Mia and say, "Wow, you are very clever and creative. We are so proud of you. Your video is very good and your rock is very interesting. But do you know what your rock is really made of?" + +Tim and Mia shake their heads. They want to know. + +Mom and dad say, "Your rock is not a mineral. It is a rubber band. Someone must have dropped it in the backyard. It is flexible because it is made of elastic. It is not rare or valuable, but it is still fun to play with. Do you want to keep it or give it to someone else?" + +Tim and Mia look at each other. They think for a moment. Then they say, "We want to keep it. It is our special rock. We like it. And we like our video. Can we watch it again?" + +Mom and dad say, "Of course you can. And maybe you can find more things to record and share with us. You are very good at telling stories." + +Tim and Mia smile and hug their mom and dad. They are happy. They love their rock and their video. They love their mom and dad. They love to play with rocks. +Timmy was very excite. Today was his birthday and he knew his mother had a big surprise for him. He jumped out of bed and ran to the living room, where he saw a big box with a bow on it. + +"Happy birthday, Timmy!" his mother said, hugging him. "Do you want to open your present?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Timmy said, tearing off the paper. Inside the box, he found a soft and fluffy teddy bear. He loved it and hugged it tight. "Thank you, mommy! He is so cute!" + +"You're welcome, sweetie. He is your new friend. You can name him whatever you want," his mother said, smiling. + +Timmy thought for a moment. He looked at the teddy bear's brown fur and black nose. He had an idea. "I will name him Lazy," he said. + +"Lazy? Why Lazy?" his mother asked, curious. + +"Because he looks like he likes to sleep a lot, like me," Timmy said, giggling. "And because he is not a busy bear, like daddy." + +His mother laughed. "That's a funny name, Timmy. I like it. Lazy is a lucky bear to have you as his owner. Now, do you want some cake and ice cream?" + +"Yes, please!" Timmy said, holding Lazy in his arms. He followed his mother to the kitchen, where a yummy chocolate cake was waiting for him. He was very happy. It was the best birthday ever. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and looked for bugs and birds. + +"Look, Ben, a mushroom!" Lila said. She pointed to a small, brown mushroom under the tree. It had white spots on it. + +"Can I mark it?" Ben asked. He had a red crayon in his hand. He liked to mark things with his crayon. + +"No, Ben, don't mark it!" Lila said. "Mushrooms are not for marking. They are for growing. Maybe a fairy lives in it." + +"A fairy?" Ben said. He looked at the mushroom with wonder. He wanted to see a fairy. + +"Yes, a fairy," Lila said. "Maybe she is sleeping in the mushroom. Maybe she will come out if we are quiet and nice." + +Lila and Ben sat down next to the mushroom. They were quiet and nice. They waited for the fairy to come out. They felt the cold wind on their faces. They shivered. + +"Maybe the fairy is cold too," Lila said. "Maybe we can give her something to keep her warm." + +Lila took off her scarf and wrapped it around the mushroom. Ben took off his hat and put it on top of the mushroom. They smiled at each other. + +"Maybe the fairy will like our gifts," Ben said. + +"Maybe she will," Lila said. + +They hugged each other and watched the mushroom. They hoped to see the fairy. They did not know that the mushroom was not a fairy house, but a toadstool. And they did not see the toad that lived in it, who was very confused by the scarf and the hat. +Anna liked to follow her big sister, Mia, everywhere. She wanted to do everything Mia did. One day, Mia was looking at a big paper on the wall. It had many squares with numbers and pictures. Mia said it was a calendar. She said it showed the days and months and seasons. + +Anna wanted to see the calendar too. She climbed on a chair and pointed at a square with a picture of a snowman. She asked Mia what it was. Mia said it was winter. She said winter was a time when it was very cold and sometimes snow fell from the sky. Anna had never seen snow. She wondered what it felt like. + +Mia said they lived in a place where winter was very distant. She said it was far away and they would not see snow here. She said they had to go on a long trip to see snow. Anna felt sad. She wanted to see snow and make a snowman. She asked Mia if they could go on a trip someday. + +Mia smiled and hugged Anna. She said maybe they could go on a trip someday, but they had to wait for the right time. She said they had to look at the calendar and see when they had a break from school and when their parents had time off from work. She said they had to save money and plan ahead. She said it was not easy to go on a long trip, but it was possible. + +Anna nodded and hugged Mia back. She said she would wait for the right time. She said she would look at the calendar and dream of snow. She said she loved Mia and she was happy to follow her everywhere. Mia said she loved Anna too and she was happy to have her as a sister. They looked at the calendar and smiled. +Lila loved purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, a purple ball, and a purple crayon. She liked to draw purple flowers, purple stars, and purple hearts on her paper. She was very happy with her purple things. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy who had a red ball. She wanted to play with him, but he said no. He said he did not like purple. He said purple was for girls, and red was for boys. He said his ball was better than hers. Lila felt sad and angry. She wanted to take his ball and run away. + +But then, she saw a girl who had no ball. She was sitting on a bench, looking lonely. She had a cast on her arm and a bandage on her knee. She had fallen from her bike and hurt herself. Lila felt sorry for her. She decided to be compassionate. She went to the girl and said hello. She asked her if she wanted to play with her purple ball. The girl smiled and said yes. She thanked Lila for being kind and friendly. + +The boy saw what Lila did. He felt ashamed of being mean and selfish. He realized that purple was not a bad color, and that girls and boys could play together. He decided to be nice. He went to Lila and the girl and said sorry. He asked them if they wanted to play with his red ball. Lila and the girl said yes. They thanked him for being polite and generous. + +They all played together, with the purple ball and the red ball. They had fun and made new friends. They learned that colors do not matter, and that sharing is caring. They showed each other respect and love. They were very happy with their balls. +Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and books at home. + +One day, her mom said, "Anna, we are going to visit Aunt Lucy and her son Ben. They have a big house and a nice garden. You will have fun there." + +Anna felt scared. She did not know Aunt Lucy and Ben. She did not want to go. She said, "Mom, can I stay home? I don't want to meet new people." + +Mom said, "No, Anna, you have to come with me. Aunt Lucy and Ben are very kind and friendly. They want to meet you and play with you. You don't have to be shy. They will like you." + +Anna sighed. She put on her coat and shoes. She took her favorite doll with her. She hoped Aunt Lucy and Ben would be nice. + +When they arrived at Aunt Lucy's house, Aunt Lucy opened the door. She smiled and said, "Hello, Anna, I'm so happy to see you. You are so cute and sweet. Come in, come in." + +Anna hid behind her mom. She did not say anything. She felt shy. + +Aunt Lucy said, "Don't be shy, Anna. This is my son Ben. He is four years old. He likes to play with cars and trains. He has many toys in his room. He wants to share them with you." + +Ben came out of his room. He had a big smile and a glass of juice in his hand. He said, "Hi, Anna, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me? I have a lot of fun things. Do you want some juice?" + +Anna looked at Ben. He seemed nice and friendly. He had a glass of juice for her. She liked juice. She felt a little less shy. + +She said, "Hi, Ben, I'm Anna. Thank you for the juice. I like juice. I like to play with dolls and books. Do you have any dolls or books?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I have some dolls and books. They are in my room. Come, I'll show you." + +He took Anna's hand and led her to his room. He put his glass of juice on the table. He showed Anna his dolls and books. He said, "You can play with any of them. They are all yours." + +Anna smiled. She put her doll next to Ben's dolls. She picked up a book and opened it. She said, "This book looks nice. Can you read it to me?" + +Ben said, "Sure, I can read it to you. I like to read. Let's sit on the bed and read it together." + +They sat on the bed and read the book. They laughed and talked. They became friends. They played with the dolls and the books. They had fun. + +Anna was not shy anymore. She liked Ben. She liked Aunt Lucy's house. She was glad she came. She said, "Ben, you are very kind and friendly. I like you. I like your toys. Can we play again?" + +Ben said, "Yes, Anna, you are very cute and sweet. I like you too. I like your doll. We can play again anytime. You are my friend." + +They hugged and smiled. They drank their juice. They played some more. They had a good time. +Tim and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to imagine new things. They took a big folder from the shelf and opened it. Inside, there were many papers with colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, we can make a castle with these papers!" Tim said. + +"Yes, Tim, and we can make a dragon too!" Lily said. + +They took some papers and scissors and glue and started to cut and stick. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a gate. They made a dragon with wings and a tail and a mouth. They put the castle on the floor and the dragon on the bed. + +"Roar! I am the dragon and I want to eat the castle!" Tim said. He moved the dragon in the air and made noises. + +"No, no, you can't eat the castle! I am the princess and I live in the castle!" Lily said. She put a paper crown on her head and a paper dress on her body. She held a paper sword in her hand. + +They played for a long time, pretending to fight and talk. They had a lot of fun. But then, they heard their mom calling them. + +"Tim, Lily, it's time for dinner! Come downstairs!" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom, we are coming!" Tim and Lily said. They put the folder and the papers back on the shelf. They took off their paper clothes and put them in the trash. They hugged their castle and their dragon. + +"Bye, bye, castle and dragon! We will play with you again tomorrow!" Tim and Lily said. + +They ran downstairs, holding hands. They were hungry and happy. They had a tight hug from Mom and a yummy dinner. They told Mom about their adventure with the castle and the dragon. Mom smiled and listened. She was proud of their imagination. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put many blocks on top of each other. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes in. The dog is loud and fast. He runs around the room. He bumps into the table. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Sara and Ben are upset. + +"Bad dog!" Sara says. "You broke our tower!" + +The dog does not understand. He thinks they want to play. He picks up a block in his mouth. He runs to Sara and Ben. He drops the block on the scale. The scale goes up and down. It shows how much the block weighs. + +"Look!" Ben says. "The dog is weighing the block!" + +Sara and Ben forget to be upset. They laugh. They think the dog is funny. They make a new game. They take turns putting blocks on the scale. They see how the scale changes. They make zigzags with the blocks. The dog watches them. He wags his tail. He is happy too. +Anna liked to own many toys. She had dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. But her favorite toy was a pink bear. She named him Fluffy and hugged him every night. + +One night, Anna had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster came and took Fluffy away. The monster was scary and loud. It had sharp teeth and claws. Anna cried and screamed for Fluffy, but the monster did not listen. + +Anna woke up and felt very sad. She looked for Fluffy, but he was not in her bed. She thought the monster was real and had stolen him. She ran to her mom and dad's room and told them what happened. + +Mom and dad hugged Anna and told her it was just a nightmare. They said nightmares are not real and cannot hurt her. They said Fluffy was safe and sound. They helped her look for him and found him under the bed. Anna was very happy to see Fluffy. She hugged him and said sorry for losing him. + +Mom and dad took Anna and Fluffy back to her bed. They kissed her good night and told her they loved her. They said Fluffy would protect her from any nightmares. Anna felt better and snuggled with Fluffy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of happy things. +Tom and Jen like to play with their toy ship. They pretend it is a big ship that can go to far lands. They put their dolls and animals on the ship and make noises like the wind and the waves. + +One day, they find a small key in the ship. They wonder what it is for. They look around the ship and see a small door. They try to open it, but it is locked. They use the key and turn it. The door opens. + +Inside the door, they see a fat cat. The cat is sleeping on a pile of gold and jewels. The cat wakes up and sees Tom and Jen. It hisses and scratches at them. Tom and Jen are scared. They drop the key and run out of the door. They slam it shut and lock it. + +They decide to leave the cat alone. They think it is a bad cat that stole the gold and jewels. They play with their ship and their dolls and animals. They forget about the key and the door. They have fun. +Lila and Tom were playing in the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They also saw a big red barn. + +"Look, Tom, there is a barrel!" Lila said. She pointed to a wooden barrel near the barn. It was round and brown and had a hole on the top. + +"What is in the barrel?" Tom asked. He was curious and wanted to know. + +"Let's go and see!" Lila said. She ran to the barrel and Tom followed her. They reached the barrel and looked inside. + +They gazed at what they saw. It was a thin black cat. The cat was sleeping in the barrel. It looked cozy and warm. It had a white spot on its nose and a long tail. + +"Hello, cat!" Lila said softly. She smiled and reached her hand to pet the cat. + +The cat opened its eyes and saw Lila and Tom. It was not happy. It hissed and scratched Lila's hand. It jumped out of the barrel and ran away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. She felt pain and saw blood on her hand. She was scared and sad. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" Tom asked. He was worried and sorry. He hugged Lila and helped her to the house. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. The cat was mean. You are brave and kind." Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I love you." Lila said. + +They went to the house and found their mom. She cleaned and bandaged Lila's hand. She gave them cookies and milk. She told them a story about a nice cat. They felt better and happy. They learned to be careful with animals they did not know. They still liked to play in the farm. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. They have a game. They name things they see. They point and say the name. + +One day, they play the game in the park. They see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a long tail. Lily points and says, "Dog!" Tom nods and says, "Dog!" + +The dog sees them. It runs to them. It is playful. It wants to play. It wags its tail. It licks their faces. Lily and Tom giggle. They like the dog. They touch its fur. They say, "Soft!" + +The dog has a name. It is on its collar. Lily and Tom look at the collar. They see the name. It is Rex. Lily and Tom say, "Rex!" The dog barks. It is happy. It likes its name. + +Lily and Tom play with Rex. They throw a ball. Rex chases the ball. He brings it back. They pet him. They hug him. They kiss his lip. Rex kisses them back. They are happy. They have a new friend. His name is Rex. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Anna is very intelligent. She knows many things. Ben is not so intelligent. He likes to copy Anna. + +One day, they play in the park. Anna sees a big slide. She wants to go on it. She says to Ben, "Let's go on the slide. It looks fun." + +Ben says, "OK, but how do we go on it?" + +Anna says, "It's easy. You sit on the top and slide down. I'll show you. Watch me." + +Anna climbs up the ladder and sits on the top of the slide. She slides down very fast. She laughs and says, "That was fun. Come on, Ben. It's your turn." + +Ben is scared. He does not want to go on the slide. He says, "No, thank you. I don't like the slide. It's too high." + +Anna says, "Don't be silly. It's not high. It's fun. You can do it. Just copy me. That's your style." + +Ben does not want to make Anna angry. He wants to be her friend. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the top of the slide. He looks down and feels dizzy. He says, "Anna, I can't do it. I'm scared. Please help me." + +Anna says, "Don't be a baby. Just slide down. It's easy. I'll catch you." + +Ben closes his eyes and slides down. He goes too fast. He does not see Anna. He hits his head on the ground. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow. That hurts. Anna, where are you?" + +Anna is not there. She has run away. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She thinks he is stupid. She says, "Bye, Ben. You are not intelligent. You are not my friend. I'll find a new friend who can play with me." + +Ben is alone. He is hurt. He is sad. He wishes he did not copy Anna. He wishes he did not go on the slide. He wishes he had a friend who cared for him. He wants to go home and sleep. He hopes he will feel better tomorrow. +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. But sometimes they did not agree on how to share the blocks. + +"Give me that red block, Sara. I need it for my tower," Ben said. + +"No, it is mine. I found it first," Sara said. + +They both pulled on the block and it broke in half. They were both angry and sad. + +They ignored each other and played with their own blocks. They did not look at each other or talk to each other. + +Their mom came into the living room and saw them. She was not happy. + +"Why are you ignoring each other? You are brother and sister. You should be nice to each other," she said. + +She picked up the broken block and showed it to them. + +"This is what happens when you fight over toys. You break them and you hurt each other's feelings. Is that what you want?" she asked. + +They shook their heads. They did not want to break their toys or hurt each other's feelings. + +They felt sorry for what they did. + +They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +They hugged and made up. + +They decided to share the blocks and work together. They built a big castle with a tower and a bridge. They were happy and cheerful. + +They showed their mom their castle and she smiled. + +"That's much better. I'm proud of you. You are good brother and sister. You know how to share and cooperate," she said. + +She gave them each a kiss and a cookie. + +They thanked her and continued to play with their blocks. They did not ignore each other anymore. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tunnel made of wood and metal. It looked like a fun place to hide and explore. + +"Let's go inside the tunnel!" Ben said. He ran towards the tunnel. + +"Wait, Ben!" Lily said. She paused and looked around. She saw a sign that said "Dangerous. Do not enter." She felt scared. "Maybe we should not go in there. It might be bad for us." + +Ben did not listen. He wanted to see what was in the tunnel. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. It's just a tunnel. Nothing can hurt us." He went inside the tunnel. + +Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone. She hoped he was right. She hoped the tunnel was safe. + +But the tunnel was not safe. It was dark and dirty and full of sharp things. Ben stepped on a nail and cried out in pain. He fell down and hurt his leg. He could not get up. + +Lily saw him and ran to help him. She was very worried. She said, "Ben, are you okay? We need to get out of here. This tunnel is dangerous." + +Ben nodded. He was sorry he did not listen to Lily. He said, "You were right, Lily. I was wrong. This tunnel is bad. Can you help me get out?" + +Lily tried to help him. She lifted him up and put his arm around her shoulder. She walked slowly towards the exit. She hoped someone would see them and help them. + +They reached the exit and saw a man. He was a park ranger. He saw them and ran to them. He said, "What are you doing here? This tunnel is off-limits. It's very dangerous. You could have been hurt badly." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, sir. We were playing and we wanted to see the tunnel. We did not read the sign. We won't do it again." + +The park ranger was kind. He said, "I'm glad you're okay. But you should always read the signs and follow the rules. They are there to protect you and keep you safe. And you should always listen to your friends when they warn you about something. They care about you and want you to be happy." + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They thanked the park ranger and went back to their parents. They told them what happened and said they were sorry. They hugged them and said they loved them. They never went inside the tunnel again. They played in the park and had fun. They always read the signs and listened to their friends. They were smart and careful and happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, they are restless. They do not want to play with their toys. They want to do something new. + +They look around the room and see a radio on the shelf. The radio is big and shiny. It has buttons and dials. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to hear what the radio can do. + +They climb on the bed and reach for the radio. They pull it down and put it on the floor. They turn it on and hear a loud noise. It is music. Anna and Ben smile. They like the music. They start to dance and sing. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Anna and Ben dancing and singing with the radio. She is happy to see them having fun. But she is also worried. The radio is old and fragile. It might break. + +She says to Anna and Ben, "You are having fun with the radio. But the radio is not a toy. It is very old and special. It was your grandpa's radio. He gave it to me before he went to heaven. He loved to listen to the radio. He would be happy to see you enjoying it. But you have to be careful with it. Do you want to offer it back to me? I will put it on the shelf. You can listen to it again later." + +Anna and Ben listen to Mom. They love their grandpa. They remember him. He was kind and funny. He used to tell them stories and play with them. They do not want to break his radio. They want to offer it back to Mom. + +They say to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know it was grandpa's radio. We like the radio. But we love you and grandpa more. We will offer it back to you. You can put it on the shelf. We can listen to it again later." + +Mom hugs Anna and Ben. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very sweet and thoughtful. I love you and grandpa loves you too. He is watching over you from heaven. He is proud of you. Now, why don't you play with your toys? I have a surprise for you. I have some cookies and milk for you in the kitchen. Do you want some?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They are happy. They say, "Yes, please, Mom. We want some cookies and milk. We are hungry. And we want to play with our toys. We are not restless anymore." + +They offer the radio back to Mom. She puts it on the shelf. She takes Anna and Ben to the kitchen. They eat some cookies and drink some milk. They talk and laugh. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car stop near the gate. A man and a woman came out of the car. They looked very wealthy. They had nice clothes and shiny shoes. They also had a little boy with them. He was holding a big present. + +The twins were curious. They wanted to see what was in the present. They ran to the boy and said hello. The boy looked at them and frowned. He did not say hello back. He said, "Go away. This is my present. You can't have it. You are poor and dirty." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They did not like the boy. He was rude and mean. They said, "We don't want your present. We have something better. We have each other. We are twins and we love each other. You are alone and you don't have any friends." + +The boy was surprised. He did not understand. He said, "But I have a lot of money and toys. I can buy anything I want. How can you be happy with nothing?" + +Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Money and toys are not everything. They can't make you happy. You need to be kind and share. You need to meet new people and make friends. Then you will be happy." + +The boy thought about what they said. He felt sorry for being rude and mean. He said, "You are right. I am sorry. Can I play with you? Can I share my present with you?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, you can. We can be friends. Come on, let's go to the swings." + +The boy smiled. He followed them to the swings. He opened his present and gave them each a toy. They played together and had fun. They learned that being wealthy is not as important as being friendly. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy gave her some juice and a thermometer. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard in her mouth. She wanted to spit it out. + +"Keep it in, Lily. I need to see how hot you are," Mommy said. She looked at the clock and waited. + +Lily made a face. She did not feel good. She wished she could play with her toys or watch TV. She wondered why Mommy needed the thermometer. + +The clock beeped. Mommy took the thermometer out of Lily's mouth. She looked at the numbers. She frowned. + +"Lily, you have a fever. You need to rest and take some medicine," Mommy said. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. + +Lily was confused. What was a fever? What was medicine? She did not want to rest. She wanted to have fun. + +"Mommy, what is a fever? What is medicine?" Lily asked. + +Mommy smiled. She explained to Lily that a fever meant her body was fighting germs. Medicine was something that helped her body feel better. Resting was important too, because it gave her body energy. + +Lily nodded. She understood a little bit. She still did not like being sick, but she loved Mommy. She smiled back at Mommy. + +"OK, Mommy. I will rest and take medicine. But can you read me a story?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily. I will read you a story. And soon you will be well again," Mommy said. She tucked Lily in bed and picked up a book. She read to Lily until she fell asleep. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put many blocks on top of each other. But the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Sara says. "Our tower is gone!" + +"Let's try again," Ben says. "We can make it stronger." + +They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They use more blocks at the bottom and fewer blocks at the top. They think this will make the tower stay up. + +But the tower falls down again. The blocks make a louder noise. Mom comes in the room. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are making too much noise!" + +"We are trying to make a big tower," Sara says. "But it keeps falling down." + +Mom looks at the blocks. She sees that some of them are heavy and some of them are light. + +"I have an idea," Mom says. "Why don't you use the light blocks for the top and the heavy blocks for the bottom? That way, the tower will have less weight on the top and more weight on the bottom. It will be more balanced and stable." + +Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They thank Mom and start to build again. They use the heavy blocks for the bottom and the light blocks for the top. They make the tower taller and taller. It does not fall down. + +"Yay!" Sara and Ben say. "We did it! We made a big tower!" + +They are very happy. They hug each other and Mom. + +"We are sorry for making too much noise," Sara says. + +"We are sorry too," Ben says. + +"That's okay," Mom says. "I'm glad you had fun and learned something. But now it's time to clean up the blocks and get ready for dinner." + +Sara and Ben nod. They help Mom to put the blocks away. They are proud of their big tower. They hope to make it again tomorrow. +Lila liked to play with her lime. It was green and round and sour. She liked to roll it on the floor and smell it and lick it. She did not like to share it with anyone. + +One day, Lila's friend Ben came to visit. He saw the lime and wanted to play with it too. He asked Lila, "Can I have the lime?" + +Lila said, "No, it is mine. Go away." + +Ben felt sad and jealous. He wanted the lime very much. He waited until Lila was not looking and took the lime. He ran away with it. + +Lila saw that her lime was gone. She was angry and scared. She looked for Ben and found him hiding behind the sofa. She shouted, "Give me back my lime!" + +Ben said, "No, it is mine now. You were mean to me." + +Lila and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed and scratched each other. They made a lot of noise. + +Lila's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila and Ben fighting over the lime. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. Fighting is not nice. You have to share and be kind to each other." + +She took the lime from them and cut it in half. She gave one half to Lila and one half to Ben. She said, "Now you both have a lime. You can play with it together or leave it alone. But no more fighting, okay?" + +Lila and Ben looked at their lime halves. They felt sorry for what they did. They said, "Okay, mom. We are sorry." + +They hugged each other and said, "We are friends." + +They decided to play with their lime halves together. They rolled them on the floor and smelled them and licked them. They had fun and laughed. They did not fight anymore. They learned to share and be kind. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pink dress. Lily took Anna everywhere. She was very popular with the other kids. They always wanted to play with Anna too. + +One day, Lily went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals, like cows, pigs, and sheep. She also saw chickens. They were small and white and made funny noises. Lily wanted to touch them. She asked her mom if she could. + +"Be careful, Lily," her mom said. "Chickens can be scared of strangers. They might peck you or run away." + +Lily nodded. She walked slowly to the chicken coop. She saw a chicken that looked friendly. It had a red comb and a yellow beak. Lily reached out her hand to pet it. She smiled. + +But the chicken did not like Lily. It did not want to be touched. It flapped its wings and clucked loudly. It pecked Lily's hand hard. Lily felt a sharp pain. She dropped Anna. She screamed. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" she cried. "Mommy! Daddy! Help!" + +Her mom and dad ran to her. They saw the chicken and Anna on the ground. They picked up Lily and Anna. They hugged them and checked them for injuries. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" her mom asked. "Did the chicken hurt you?" + +Lily nodded. She showed her mom her hand. It had a small cut and some blood. Her mom wiped it with a tissue and put a band-aid on it. + +"It's okay, Lily," her dad said. "The chicken was just scared. It didn't mean to hurt you. You're very brave." + +Lily sniffed. She hugged Anna. She was glad Anna was okay too. She looked at the chicken. It was still clucking and flapping. She did not like it anymore. She did not want to play with it. + +"Can we go home now?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily," her mom said. "Let's go home. You can play with Anna and your other dolls. They are much nicer than chickens." + +Lily smiled. She agreed. She liked her dolls more than chickens. She learned her lesson. She never tried to pet a chicken again. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big toy car in the shop window. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. They wanted to have it, but it was very expensive. The price was ten dollars, and they only had two dollars each. + +"Let's ask our moms for more money," Tom said. + +"No, that's not nice. Our moms work hard and we have enough toys," Sue said. + +"But I really want the car. It looks so fun. Maybe we can find some money on the street," Tom said. + +They walked around the town, looking for coins or bills. They did not see any money, but they saw a lot of poor people. Some were sitting on the sidewalk, holding signs that said "Please help". Some were sleeping in cardboard boxes, with no blankets or pillows. Some were hungry and thirsty, with no food or water. + +Tom and Sue felt sad for the poor people. They decided to give them their money, instead of buying the toy car. They went to the shop and bought some bread and juice. Then they gave them to the poor people, who smiled and thanked them. + +"Thank you, you are very kind," one man said. + +"You are welcome, we hope you feel better," Sue said. + +Tom and Sue felt happy and proud. They did not need the toy car anymore. They had something more valuable: a good heart. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to help others than to be greedy. The foreshadowing or setup is: The toy car is very expensive and they only have two dollars each. The payoff is: They give their money to the poor people, instead of buying the toy car. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a man with a big watch on his wrist. The watch had many colors and buttons. It looked impressive. + +"Wow, look at his watch!" Tom said. "It is so shiny and cool. I want to see it." + +"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's go and ask him." + +They ran to the man and said hello. The man smiled and said hello back. + +"Can we see your watch, please?" Tom asked. "It is very impressive." + +"Sure, you can see it." The man said. "This is a special watch. It can do many things. It can tell the time, the date, the weather, and even answer questions." + +"Really?" Lily asked. "How can it answer questions?" + +"Like this." The man said. He pressed a button and spoke to the watch. "What is the capital of France?" + +The watch beeped and said, "The capital of France is Paris." + +"Wow!" Tom and Lily said. "That is amazing. Can we ask it something?" + +"Of course." The man said. "What do you want to ask?" + +Tom and Lily thought for a moment. Then they had an idea. + +They leaned to the watch and asked, "What is your name?" + +The watch beeped and said, "My name is Watch." + +Tom and Lily laughed. They thought the watch was funny and smart. They thanked the man and said goodbye. They went back to play, but they did not forget the impressive watch that could answer questions. +Lily was going to a party with her mom and dad. She wore a pretty dress and a veil on her head. The veil was white and had flowers on it. Lily liked her veil very much. + +At the party, there were many people and many games. Lily saw a big box with a sign that said "Guess what is inside". She wanted to play the game. She asked her mom if she could. + +"Sure, Lily, you can play the game. But you have to wait for your turn," her mom said. + +Lily waited for her turn. She saw other kids go to the box and try to guess what was inside. Some kids said "a ball", some kids said "a doll", some kids said "a book". But none of them were right. + +Finally, it was Lily's turn. She went to the box and put her hand inside. She felt something soft and furry. She smiled and said "I know what it is. It is a teddy bear!" + +She pulled out her hand and showed everyone what she found. It was a teddy bear. A brown teddy bear. Lily was very happy. She hugged the teddy bear and said "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +Everyone clapped and cheered for Lily. She had guessed right. She had won the game. She had a new friend. She had a brown teddy bear. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek in the house. One day, they decide to hide in the kitchen. They find a big cupboard under the sink. They open the door and crawl inside. They close the door behind them. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Anna whispers to Ben. "Or Mom will find us." + +Ben nods. He whispers back, "This is a good hiding spot. Mom will never look here." + +They hear Mom's footsteps in the hall. She is looking for them. She calls their names. "Anna, Ben, where are you? It's time for lunch." + +Anna and Ben giggle. They cover their mouths with their hands. They think Mom will go away. + +But Mom does not go away. She comes into the kitchen. She looks around. She sees the cupboard under the sink. She sees the clear gap under the door. She smiles. + +She walks to the cupboard. She opens the door. She says, "Boo!" + +Anna and Ben scream. They jump out of the cupboard. They hug Mom. They laugh. + +"Mom, you found us!" Anna says. + +"You scared us!" Ben says. + +Mom kisses them. She says, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. But you can't hide in the kitchen. It's not safe. There are sharp things and hot things and dirty things. You could get hurt." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't hide in the kitchen again." + +Mom says, "That's good. Now, come on. Let's have some lunch. I made your favorite. Sandwiches and juice." + +Anna and Ben follow Mom to the table. They are hungry. They are happy. They love Mom. +Anna loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the night. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced with her toys, with her mom, and with her dad. + +But there was one person who did not like to dance. His name was Ben, and he was Anna's brother. He was stubborn and did not want to try anything new. He liked to play with his cars, his blocks, and his books. He did not like to dance with Anna, or with anyone else. + +One day, Anna had a plan. She wanted to make Ben dance with her. She put on her favorite music, and grabbed Ben's hand. She said, "Come on, Ben, let's dance! It is fun and easy. You just have to move your feet and your arms. Like this!" + +But Ben pulled his hand away. He said, "No, Anna, I don't want to dance. I want to play with my cars. Dancing is silly and hard. You go away and leave me alone." + +Anna was sad and angry. She did not understand why Ben was so stubborn. She said, "Ben, you are mean and boring. You never want to do anything with me. You are missing out on a lot of fun. I will dance by myself, and you will be lonely." + +She turned away from Ben, and started to dance by herself. She moved her feet and her arms, and spun around. She smiled and sang along with the music. She did not care about Ben anymore. + +But then, something happened. Ben saw how happy Anna was, and how much fun she was having. He felt curious and jealous. He wondered what it was like to dance. He decided to give it a try. He got up from his cars, and walked over to Anna. He said, "Anna, can I dance with you? I changed my mind. I want to see what it is like." + +Anna was surprised and happy. She said, "Of course, Ben, you can dance with me. I am glad you changed your mind. It is never too late to try something new. Come on, let's dance!" + +She took Ben's hand, and showed him how to dance. He moved his feet and his arms, and spun around. He smiled and laughed along with the music. He found out that dancing was not silly and hard, but fun and easy. + +Anna and Ben danced together, and had a lot of fun. They forgot about their toys, their mom, and their dad. They only cared about each other, and the music. They learned that dancing was a good way to share and enjoy. They were not stubborn and lonely anymore. They were happy and friendly. They were brother and sister. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign that says "Coffee". They are curious and want to try some. + +"Can we have some coffee, please?" Tom asks the man in the truck. + +"No, coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. It makes them awake and happy. But it can make you sick and sleepy. You need to drink water or juice. They are healthy and good for you." The man says. + +"But we want to be awake and happy too. And we are not sick or sleepy. Please, can we have just a little bit?" Anna begs. + +The man shakes his head. "No, no, no. Coffee is not for you. Go and play somewhere else." + +Tom and Anna are sad. They walk away from the truck. They see a lady sitting on a bench. She has a cup of coffee in her hand. She looks nice and friendly. + +"Hello, lady. Can you lend us some coffee, please?" Tom asks. + +The lady smiles. "Why do you want coffee, little ones? Coffee is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. It makes them awake and happy. But it can make you sick and sleepy. You need to drink water or juice. They are healthy and good for you." + +"But we want to be awake and happy too. And we are not sick or sleepy. Please, can you lend us just a little bit?" Anna asks. + +The lady thinks for a moment. She remembers when she was a kid and wanted to try new things. She decides to be kind and let them have a sip. + +"Okay, okay. I will lend you some coffee. But only a sip. And then you have to give it back to me. And you have to promise me that you will not drink coffee again until you are grown-ups. Deal?" She says. + +Tom and Anna nod. They are excited and grateful. They take turns to sip the coffee. They make a face. It is bitter and hot. They do not like it at all. + +"Yuck! This is not good. This is not awake and happy. This is ouch and yucky. We do not want coffee anymore. We want water or juice. They are healthy and good for us." They say. + +They give the cup back to the lady. They say thank you and sorry. They run to the fountain and drink some water. They feel better. They go back to the park and play. They are happy and healthy. They do not need coffee. They have each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They were very dirty, but they did not care. They had fun. + +But then, a giant came. He was very big and loud. He was also very ignorant. He did not know how to play nicely. He saw Tom and Lily and their mud pies. He wanted to eat them. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" he said. He reached out his hand and grabbed Tom and Lily. He put them in his mouth. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to be eaten. They kicked and screamed. They also tasted very bad. They were full of mud and dirt. + +The giant spat them out. He was angry. He did not like the taste. He wanted something sweet and clean. + +He saw a hose in the garden. He thought it was a snake. He was afraid of snakes. He ran away. + +Tom and Lily were safe. They were also very wet. They laughed. They decided to wash themselves with the hose. They also washed their mud pies. They made them into cakes. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a hose to water the plants and make rainbows. But the hose is locked in the shed. Only Dad has the key. + +One day, Dad is busy in the house. Anna and Ben want to play with the hose. They ask Dad for the key. + +"Dad, can we have the key to the shed? We want to play with the hose," Anna says. + +"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish some work. Maybe later," Dad says. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They wait for a long time. But Dad does not come. + +They look around the garden. They see a big rock. They have an idea. + +"Maybe we can use the rock to unlock the shed," Ben says. + +"Let's try," Anna says. + +They lift the rock together. They carry it to the shed. They hit the lock with the rock. Bang! Bang! Bang! + +The lock breaks. The shed opens. Anna and Ben are happy. They find the hose. They turn on the tap. Water comes out. + +They water the plants and make rainbows. They laugh and splash. They have fun. + +Dad hears the noise. He comes out of the house. He sees the broken lock and the wet garden. He is not happy. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Dad says. + +"We wanted to play with the hose. We used the rock to unlock the shed," Anna says. + +"That was not a good idea. You could have hurt yourselves or damaged the shed. The lock was there for a reason. The hose is not a toy. It is a tool. It is for watering the plants, not for making a mess," Dad says. + +He takes the hose and the rock. He locks the shed with a new lock. He tells Anna and Ben to go inside and change their clothes. + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make Dad angry. They did not know the hose was a tool. They just wanted to have fun. + +They go inside and change their clothes. They hug Dad and say sorry. + +"It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you use something that is not yours. And don't break things that are not broken. The lock was reliable. It kept the shed safe. Now I have to buy a new one," Dad says. + +He hugs them back and says he loves them. + +They love him too. They promise to be good. They learn a new word: reliable. It means something that works well and does not break. Like Dad. He is reliable. He works well and does not break. He is the best Dad. +Sara was very tired. She had played all day with her toys and her dog. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to wait for her mom to come home from work. + +She looked out the window and saw that it was dark and gloomy outside. The clouds were gray and the wind was cold. She hoped her mom would come soon. She missed her mom and wanted a hug and a kiss. + +She heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it, thinking it was her mom. But it was not her mom. It was a man with a big box. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I have a delivery for you. Can you sign here?" + +Sara was confused. She did not know the man or the box. She did not know how to sign. She said, "No, thank you. I'm waiting for my mom. She will be here any minute." + +The man frowned and said, "But this is a very special box. It has a surprise for you. Don't you want to see what's inside?" + +Sara shook her head. She did not like surprises from strangers. She felt scared and wanted the man to go away. She said, "No, thank you. Please go away. I don't want your box." + +The man tried to push the door open, but Sara held it tight. She screamed, "Help! Help! Mommy!" + +The man heard a car pull up in the driveway. He looked and saw Sara's mom get out of the car. He dropped the box and ran away. + +Sara's mom heard Sara's scream and ran to the door. She saw Sara crying and hugged her. She said, "Sara, what happened? Are you okay?" + +Sara told her mom about the man and the box. She said, "He was a bad man, Mommy. He wanted me to take his box, but I didn't want to. I was scared, Mommy." + +Sara's mom said, "You did the right thing, Sara. You were very brave and smart. You never take anything from strangers. You always wait for me or Daddy. I'm so proud of you, Sara." + +She kissed Sara and said, "Let's go inside and forget about the bad man. I have a good surprise for you. I brought you a new book and a teddy bear. Do you want to read the book and cuddle with the teddy bear in bed?" + +Sara smiled and said, "Yes, Mommy. I love you, Mommy." + +She took the book and the teddy bear and went to bed with her mom. She felt safe and happy. She yawned and closed her eyes. She dreamed of good things. +Sam is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make noises. He also likes to make zigzags with his cars on the floor. + +One day, Sam goes to the park with his mom. He brings his favorite car, a red one with big wheels. He sees a girl who is playing with a doll. She has long hair and a pink dress. Sam wants to play with her, but he is shy. + +He goes near her and says, "Hi, I am Sam. This is my car. It is red and fast. Do you want to see?" The girl looks at him and smiles. She says, "Hi, I am Mia. This is my doll. She is pretty and soft. Do you want to touch?" Sam nods and reaches for the doll. + +They introduce their toys to each other and start to play. They make the car and the doll go on adventures. They make them go up and down the slide, swing on the swings, and hide behind the trees. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +Sam and Mia become friends. They find out that they live near each other. They decide to play again tomorrow. They say goodbye and hug. They are happy. They fit well together. +Anna likes to play dress-up with her dolls. She has many dresses, hats, shoes and jewels for them. She likes to make them look pretty and have tea parties with them. + +One day, she finds a shiny stone in the garden. It is very bright and sparkly. She thinks it is a diamond. She wants to give it to her favorite doll, Lily. She thinks Lily will love it. + +She runs to her room and looks for a necklace to put the diamond on. She finds a pink one with a small loop. She tries to fit the diamond in the loop, but it is too big. She tries to fit it in other necklaces, but none of them work. + +She is sad. She wants to give Lily the diamond, but she does not have a necklace that fits. She thinks maybe she can make one. She looks for some string and a needle. She finds them in her mom's sewing box. + +She asks her mom if she can use them. Her mom says yes, but she has to be careful with the needle. She helps Anna thread the needle and tie a knot. Anna carefully pokes the needle through the diamond. It is hard, but she does it. She makes a loop with the string and ties another knot. + +She is happy. She has made a necklace for Lily. She puts it around Lily's neck and admires how pretty she looks. She gives Lily a hug and a kiss. She says, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend. This is a special gift for you. It is a diamond. It is very rare and beautiful, like you." +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped her mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She felt very happy and proud. + +One day, a lady came to their door. She had a big bag with many things in it. She smiled and said, "Hello, I am selling some nice things for your home. Do you want to see them?" + +Lily's mom said, "Sure, why not? Come in, please." She invited the lady to sit on the couch. Lily followed them and sat next to her mom. + +The lady opened her bag and took out some things. She showed them a clock, a vase, a blanket, and a book. She said, "These are all very good and cheap. You can buy them for only five dollars each." + +Lily's mom looked at the things and said, "They are very nice, but I don't need them. Thank you, anyway." + +The lady said, "Oh, that's too bad. How about this?" She took out another thing from her bag. It was a blue apron with stars on it. She said, "This is a very special apron. It can make you cook better and faster. You can buy it for only ten dollars." + +Lily's mom said, "No, thank you. I already have an apron. I don't need another one." + +The lady said, "But this apron is much better than yours. Look, it has stars on it. Don't you like stars?" + +Lily's mom said, "I do like stars, but I like my apron more. It was a gift from my daughter. She made it for me with her own hands. It is very precious to me." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. You are the best cook in the world." + +The lady looked confused. She did not understand why Lily's mom did not want to buy her apron. She said, "Well, okay. I guess I will go then. Goodbye." + +She packed her things and left. Lily and her mom waved to her and closed the door. They went back to the kitchen and finished their dinner. They ate the soup and the bread and enjoyed their time together. They did not need anything else. They had each other. +Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and she made animals and flowers and houses. She was very good at drawing. + +One day, she wanted to draw a lion. She found a yellow crayon and a brown crayon and started to make a big lion on a piece of paper. She gave him a mane and a tail and a nose and eyes. She wanted him to look fierce, like the lions in her books. + +She was almost done when her little brother Tom came into the room. He saw the lion and he wanted to play with it. He grabbed the paper and ran away. Lily was very angry. She shouted at Tom and chased him. + +Tom ran to the sofa and hid behind it. He thought he was safe, but Lily was faster. She caught up with him and reached for the paper. Tom held it tight and tried to pull it away. They both tugged and tugged until the paper ripped. + +Lily and Tom stopped and looked at the torn paper. The lion was in two pieces. Lily felt sad and Tom felt sorry. They both dropped the paper and started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the paper and the crayons and the children. She knelt down and hugged them both. She said, "It's okay, don't cry. You can make another picture together. You can share the crayons and help each other. How about that?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and wiped their tears. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. Mom smiled and gave them a new piece of paper. They went back to the table and started to draw a new lion. This time, they made him friendly, not fierce. They were happy and Mom was proud. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big, pale cloud in the sky. It looked like a giant sheep. + +"Wow, look at that cloud!" Lily said. "It is so big and fluffy!" + +"I wonder what it feels like to touch it," Sam said. "Do you think we can walk on it?" + +"Let's imagine we can!" Lily said. "Let's pretend we are birds and we can fly up to the cloud." + +They closed their eyes and flapped their arms. They made sounds like birds. They imagined they were soaring in the air, closer and closer to the cloud. + +They felt the wind on their faces and the sun on their backs. They smiled and laughed. + +They reached the cloud and landed on it. It was soft and cool. They bounced and rolled on it. They felt happy and free. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "I love this cloud!" + +"Me too!" Sam said. "This is the best walk ever!" + +They played on the cloud for a long time. They made shapes and animals with the cloud. They sang and danced on the cloud. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they heard their moms calling them. It was time to go home. + +They opened their eyes and saw the cloud was still in the sky. It looked like a giant sheep. + +They waved goodbye to the cloud. They thanked it for the fun. + +They ran to their moms and hugged them. They told them about their walk on the cloud. + +Their moms smiled and listened. They were proud of their children's imagination. They loved them very much. +One day, a little boy named Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was very happy. + +But when he got to the top, he saw a big dog sitting on the slide. The dog was black and white and had a wide mouth. The dog looked at Ben and barked. Ben was scared. He did not want to slide down with the dog. + +Ben's mom saw what was happening. She ran to the slide and called the dog. She said, "Come here, Spot. You can't prevent Ben from sliding. That's not nice." She gave the dog a treat and took him off the slide. The dog wagged his tail and followed her. + +Ben was glad. He thanked his mom and slid down the slide. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He was very happy. He said, "That was fun. Can I do it again?" His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's give Spot a look. He is a good dog. He just wanted to play." Ben nodded and went to pet the dog. The dog licked his hand and wagged his tail. Ben was happy. He made a new friend. +Lila and Ben are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park near their home. Sometimes they see blue birds and blue flowers in the park. + +One day, their mom says they can go to the zoo. The zoo is far from the park. They have to take a bus to get there. Lila and Ben are very happy. They want to see the animals. + +At the zoo, they see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. They also see a big blue pool. In the pool, there are penguins. The penguins are black and white and have blue eyes. They swim and splash in the water. + +Lila and Ben want to touch the penguins. They ask their mom if they can. Their mom says no. She says the penguins are not pets. They are wild animals. They do not like to be touched by people. They can get scared or angry. + +Lila and Ben are sad. They like the penguins. They want to be friends with them. But they listen to their mom. They do not touch the penguins. They only watch them from a distance. They wave to them and say bye-bye. The penguins wave back with their flippers. Lila and Ben smile. They have a fun day at the zoo. +Lily loved to play with her toy plane. She liked to make it soar in the air and pretend it was flying to faraway places. She liked to measure how high and how far it could go. She used her fingers and her eyes to measure. + +One day, she took her toy plane to the park. She saw a big tree with many birds. She thought the birds were charming. They had different colors and sounds. She wanted to make friends with them. She threw her toy plane in the air and hoped it would soar to the tree. + +But her toy plane did not soar. It fell to the ground. Lily was sad. She ran to pick it up. She saw that one of its wings was broken. She felt like crying. She looked at the tree and saw the birds watching her. + +Then, something amazing happened. One of the birds flew down from the tree and landed next to her toy plane. It was a blue bird with a yellow beak. It looked at her toy plane and then at her. It made a friendly chirp. Lily smiled. She reached out her hand and gently touched the bird. The bird did not fly away. It stayed with her. + +Lily felt happy. She had a new friend. She did not care that her toy plane was broken. She had a real bird that could soar. She named the bird Sky.

She was very excited. She looked down and saw Tom waiting for her. She smiled and waved. She slid down very fast and landed on the ground. + +Tom wanted to slide too. He climbed up the ladder after Lila. He was very happy. He looked down and saw Lila standing by the slide. He shouted, "Here I come!" He slid down very fast and landed on Lila. + +Lila felt a big pain in her shoulder. She cried out loud. Tom had squeezed her shoulder with his feet. He did not mean to hurt her, but he did. He was very sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you okay?" + +Lila was not okay. She was very angry. She pushed Tom away and said, "You are not my lovely friend. You are a bad friend. You hurt me. Go away!" She ran to her mom and hugged her. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. + +Tom felt very sad. He did not want to lose his friend. He tried to say sorry again, but Lila did not listen. She did not look at him. She did not talk to him. She did not want to be his friend anymore. He ran to his mom and cried. He wished he had not slid down so fast. He wished he had not squeezed Lila's shoulder. He wished he had not made her angry. He wished he had a lovely friend. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes.

But next time, please ask me before you paint something. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, dad. I am sorry. Can I play the drum now?" + +Her dad said, "Sure, Lily. Let me show you how."

But instead, she kept trusting him, and followed him deeper into the woods. + +When they arrived at his friends' burrow, Daisy could see that they were up to something sneaky. She knew he had tricked her and she started to run away. Suddenly, she heard a loud rumbling coming from the burrow which made the ground shake and the trees move.

But it was too heavy and Emily couldn't carry it far. + +Suddenly, a thief appeared and grabbed Emily's bag. He ran away with the tasty stuff. Emily started to cry. + +The moral of the story is that it is better to ask for help when you need it. Emily was trying to help the man by taking on a task which was too big. She should have asked somebody to help with the task if it was too hard. +Once upon a time, there was a club that was really special. It included lots of kids and they did fun things together.

Her parents agreed and she was very excited, but then she became sad when she realized that the club would cost money. + +The girl went to her parents and asked for the money. She asked and asked and asked, but her parents didn't have enough money to pay for the club. The little girl was very disappointed. + +Her parents saw how sad she was, so they told her an important lesson. They said, "Whenever something isn't possible, you should remember that repeating the same thing won't make it come true. So, if you want something from us, you should stop asking and wait patiently." + +The little girl learned the lesson. She stopped asking and waited. After a while, her parents managed to find enough money to pay for the club and they happily signed her up. + +From then on, the little girl knew that patience was key and that some dreams need time but can be fulfilled if we never give up. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Pete and Jack.

He left his animals behind, but assured them that he would be back soon. + +The animals became curious. The cow said, "What will he bring back?" The pig asked, "What is he going to supply us with?" + +But sadly, the farmer never returned. The animals were scared, and then worried. They wondered, "Where is the farmer? Will he ever be back?" + +Finally, the animals had to learn to survive on their own. They were sad, as they had lost their farm and the farmer who used to supply all their needs. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Pete and Tina. They decided to go on an adventure together. + +Tina said, "Let's explore the big garden!" + +So Pete said, "Ok. I will lead the way!"

Alan sat at the table and his mom showed him a glass of wine filled to the top. His mom said: "This is wine. Do you know why I'm showing you this glass of wine?" + +Alan shook his head, so his mom said to him: "It's important to never drink wine. Wine can taste sweet but it can also be very bitter. If you drink it, it will make you feel sick." Alan nodded, understanding that his mom was trying to teach him a lesson. + +Moral of the story: Never drink wine, because it can be bitter and make you feel sick. +Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack who wanted to ride a bike. He went to his classroom and saw everyone riding around. He wanted to go too. + +Jack asked his teacher, "Can I ride a bike?" + +The teacher said, "You need to be more intelligent first.

It is something by itself." + +Bob and Sam looked more closely and saw some people carrying things in and out of the boxes. Bob and Sam wondered what was happening. + +So they went closer to the boxes and saw that people were taking things out and putting things in. They were also paying money for what they had taken. + +Bob and Sam then knew that it must have been a store. They had so much fun that day exploring the independent row of boxes! +Once upon a time, there were two friends. One friend was named John, and the other was named Sarah.

Sarah was really excited and wanted to try them. + +John said, "No, Sarah! Those berries are too spicy. You should not eat them." + +But Sarah did not listen. She reached out and grabbed one of the berries. She popped it into her mouth and started to chew. + +John raised his voice and said, "I told you not to eat that berry! Now your mouth might get really spicy!" + +Sarah quickly grabbed a handful of water from the nearby stream. She gulped it down and the spicy berry was gone in no time. + +John smiled, relieved that the conflict was over. The two friends started to talk again and continued their walk. +Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was three years old and loved playing with tools. One day he got a new hammer.

He went over to the desk and saw something different. It looked uncomfortable. He asked his Mom what it was. + +"That's a new chair for your desk," Mom said. + +Sam walked over to it and sat down. He was surprised at how uncomfortable it was. He asked his Mom why it was so uncomfortable. + +"That is because you have to sit at the desk and do your homework," Mom said. "This chair will help you stay comfortable while you do your schoolwork." + +Sam stood up and started to walk away. He wasn't sure he liked this new chair.

Leo was not so sure about that because he was still quite small. His mum encouraged him, saying, "You have been practising your roars, now go and show them off at the river." + +So, Leo set off to the river, carrying a big spoon. He was determined to not be scared of the river. But when he arrived, he heard a deep, loud, booming roar. It was so loud and scary that Leo dropped his spoon and ran away. + +He ran straight back home to his family. His mum saw him and said, "Oh, Leo, there is nothing to be scared of.

They grilled hot dogs and made the sour lemonade. When they were done, the picnic was perfect. + +The end! +Once there was a boy called Jake. He wanted to go and explore, so he set off into the swamp. As he walked further in he found it hard to move through the thick mud and weeds. He became tired and desperate. + +Suddenly, he saw a man. “What are you doing here?†the man said. “I’m exploring,†said Jake. The man gave him a bag and said, “Take this, it will help you explore.†+ +Jake opened the bag and found some special shoes inside. “Thank you!†he said. He quickly put them on and set off again. + +The swamp was now easier to get around, and Jake was no longer miserable.

Jake had had the best day ever! +Once, there was a poor monkey who wanted to be free. He wanted to jump high, but there was a big brick wall in his way. He called out to his friends and said, "Please help me jump this wall!" + +His friends replied that he could never jump that high, no matter how hard he tried. But the monkey still wanted to be free so he tried to jump anyway. He gathered all his courage and tried and tried, but the wall was too high. + +Then, one of his friends had a brilliant idea. She said, "Let us pile all the bricks together. Then, you can get on top of them, and you'll be able to jump over the wall." + +The monkey was so excited, and he quickly started piling all the bricks. When it was time to jump, he was scared but he knew he had to be brave. He took a deep breath and jumped over the wall! He was finally free! +Once upon a time, four friends were walking together.

When they looked around the corner, they saw a cat. It was meowing loudly. + +The friends went to the cat and started to pet it. It was friendly and purred. The friends talked to the cat and played with it. The cat seemed to enjoy the attention. + +Then, one of the friends said, "Let's have a regular adventure and explore the rest of the room." So the friends set off. + +At the end of their adventure, the friends found a secret room. They had lots of fun discovering what was inside. At the end, they said goodbye to the cat and left the room. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She was only three years old.

He had a mask on, too, and he asked her if she knew why they had to wear them. Lucy shook her head. The man told her that masks help keep away bad germs so they don't get sick. + +Lucy thought about that for a moment and then asked the man if she looked fit in her mask. The man laughed and said that she looked very fit in her mask. He said it was the perfect fit for her. + +Lucy smiled, happy to know that she was doing the right thing and keeping herself healthy and safe. +Once there was a little boy named Joe.

I was trying to reach something on the top shelf but it was too high for me." + +Joe said, "Why don't you just ask me to get it for you, Mommy? I'm not afraid of high places." His mom smiled and said, "That's a great idea. Thanks, Joe." Joe smiled, took the hanger, and climbed the shelf to get what his mom wanted. + +Joe's mom looked at her brave son and said, "You're such a helpful little boy."

Everyone wanted to play with her. +One day, one of her friends tried to ignore her. This made her very sad and her lip began to quiver. + +The little girl felt sad and confused, so she decided to talk to her mom. Her mom said, "Just because someone ignores you, it doesn't mean that you are not loved and special." + +The little girl smiled and thanked her mom. From then on, she remembered this lesson - that she should never let anyone ignore her and she should understand that she is just as special as anyone else. + +The moral of the story is that even when someone tries to ignore us, we must remember that we are all gifted and special, and that's what makes us special. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Anna.

He'd never forget the look on Tom's face - it was an enormous reminder of how angry he had been. +John was a small bird, he looked up at the sky and wondered what was beyond it. He flapped his wings and wished that he could fly above his worries. One day, he decided to try. + +John slowly flapped his wings and slowly rose up into the sky. He felt so free and happy until he reached the clouds. Suddenly, he saw the eagle hovering above. It spotted him and swooped down towards him. John was scared and worried, he tried to flap his wings faster, but it was too late, the eagle had already caught him in its sharp claws. + +John cried for help but no-one was around. He looked sadly at a single feather that had fallen from his wings. It was only then that he noticed the eagle had a broken wing and it was desperate for food. John saw the look of hunger in the eagle's eyes and he knew it meant bad news for him. + +John was scared for his life and gripped tightly to the eagle's claws. The eagle flew higher and higher, until finally, it let go of John and he fell. John watched as the eagle soared away while he crashed down to the ground below. + +John was never seen again, but his single feather lay on the ground and a fierce gust of wind lifted it up. Somewhere in the sky, John wondered if he'd ever be free. +Once upon a time there was a strong sun. Every day the sun would shine and make everything feel warm.

Come back soon!" + +The little boy smiled, waved goodbye and said, "I'll come back tomorrow!" +Tommy loved to perform. He was a gifted child with an eye for the unusual. Sometimes, he'd pick up an odd object and entertain the other kids with funny tricks. + +The day he found the old hat was no different. He waved it around, making the other kids laugh. Then he turned towards the crowd, and said in a serious voice, „Prepare to be amazed!" + +The kids all expected a funny trick, but instead Tommy took a deep bow and vanished. No one could believe their eyes (not even the adults). + +Suddenly, in a puff of smoke, Tommy appeared again in the very same spot. Everyone cheered and clapped. How did he do it? + +As the applause calmed down, Tommy looked proud and said, „All good magicians need a hat. And I'm a very gifted one!" +Once upon a time, there was a big tree in the park.

They were so angry, it seemed like they were trying to hurt each other. Everyone was so confused. + +Then, one day, two of the townspeople spoke up.

He wanted to show her what he was building, but she was in a rush so he couldn't call out to her. + +Jack saw another tool lying around. He decided to use it too, but it was a fake tool. He tried to use it but it didn't work. He shouted in frustration. + +Mom heard him and came rushing back to check what was wrong. She saw the fake tool and took it away from him.

There were so many things to explore, like the sandy beach, palm trees and animals in the ocean. + +Mommy grabbed the bowl of yummy stuff she had stirred and the little girl ran ahead. When Mommy caught up, she scooped some yummy stuff and put it in the little girl's hands. + +The little girl took a bite and smiled.

He took a deep breath and they went back to playing in the garden. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to be respectful of other people's privacy. It's not kind to try and guess what someone else is doing or where they are. Respect others and be thoughtful. +George and his friend were playing outside in the park.

He thought about the dependable log, and wondered if it would be safe for him to sit on it now. However, he soon found out that it was too late. The bear had already returned to the same spot and was growling at the log. Tommy had a bad feeling that this would not end well. + +Sure enough, the bear lunged forward and dragged Tommy away.

She had been watching them from afar and she was worried. To make things better, Kiki’s mom gave them each a gentle massage on their backs. The massage felt so soothing and comforting that Max and Kiki forgot all about their dizziness. + +After the massage, Kiki’s mom handed her daughter a bitter piece of lemon to suck on.

The family eagerly unpacked the box that had arrived in the mail. Inside, wrapped in special paper, was a surprise: a dolphin! + +Mummy and Daddy couldn't believe their eyes. The dolphin was so tiny and weak, but so very sweet. Daddy scooped it up in his big hands and smiled. + +Mummy asked, "Daddy, can we keep it?" + +Daddy replied, "Yes, but we have to take good care of him. We need to make sure that he is warm and happy." + +The whole family worked together to make the little dolphin feel right at home. They unpacked towels to make a soft bed and prepared fresh fish for him to eat. Soon he was swimming around the house, happy and healthy! +John and his mom were so excited! Today was the day that they were going to the park. John put on his favourite blue shirt and hopped into the car with his mom. + +On the road, they stopped at the gas station. His mom pumped the gas and put a new battery into the car. Then they were off again and soon they arrived at the park. + +John wanted to explore everywhere! He walked around the trees, ran along the paths, and spun on the merry-go-round. But then, something scary happened. He saw a large bear and became fearful. + +He ran to his mom and told her what he saw. She comforted him by saying, "Don't worry! As long as you stay near me, you will be safe". John hugged his mom, feeling much better. + +They enjoyed the rest of the day in the park, and John couldn't wait to come back again. +Once upon a time there was a vase. It was thin and tall. One day, the vase decided to take a walk. It was exciting and fun for the vase! + +But the vase soon noticed that it was very far away from home. So, it decided to turn around and return home.

But when the vase got to the door, it realized it was locked! + +It was so sad but then it noticed a small window. The vase was able to squeeze through the window and go inside. + +The vase was safely back home. It was so happy to be there. Everyone inside the house was so glad to see the vase again.

He kept following it until he was deep in the forest and the animal had stopped. + +The man said, "I'm not going to give up. I will keep trying." He slowly moved towards the animal and kept talking in a soft voice. After a few minutes, the animal felt brave enough to come out from the bush.

They taught us that when you see something that needs help, you should do your best to help it.

They decided to give him a napkin and asked him to clean it up, so he did. + +At the end of the day, Fluffy realized that his curiosity was not more important than following the rules. The family applauded him again, this time in a proud way, for learning something valuable. + +From then on, Fluffy always remembered the moral lesson he had learned: too much curiosity can sometimes mean trouble! +Lily was walking in the forest. It was so peaceful and quiet. She saw a large herb growing and wanted to pick it so she could show her mom. She bent down to pick it and said, "Mom will be so happy!". + +Suddenly, a fairy appeared! She was very small and had beautiful wings. She said to Lily, "Please don't pick the herb! It's very special! If you take it away, the forest won't be so peaceful anymore." + +Lily paused, thinking about what the fairy said. She decided to leave the herb in the forest and said, "I won't take it away.
