+Lily and Max were surprised. They said, "How did you know, mom?" Mom said, "I know everything. You can't trick me. Now, follow me to the park, or you will miss the swings and the slide."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were just having fun. We will follow you now." They came out from under the mattress and put on their shoes and coats. They followed mom to the park and had a good time. They learned their lesson. They never hid under the mattress again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. They walked to the tree and looked in the hole.
+
+"Wow, look! There is an owl!" Lily said. She saw a brown owl with big eyes. The owl was sleeping.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Tom asked. He reached his hand to the hole.
+
+"No, don't do that!" Lily said. "The owl might bite you. And it is not nice to bother the owl. It is his home."
+
+"But I want to see it better. Maybe I can take it out." Tom said. He was not listening to Lily. He was very curious.
+
+He grabbed the owl by the wing and pulled it out of the hole. The owl woke up and was very angry. He flapped his wings and scratched Tom's face. Tom screamed and let go of the owl.
+
+The owl flew away and found another tree. He was very flexible and could fit in any hole. He hoped no one would try to steal him again.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was sorry for him. He had a red mark on his face.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was crying. He learned his lesson.
+
+"I'm sorry, too. I should have listened to you. I was wrong to steal the owl. He was not a toy. He was a living thing." Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom said sorry to the owl. They hoped he was not too scared. They went back to their parents and told them what happened. Their parents were not happy, but they were glad they were safe. They told them to be more careful and respectful of animals. Lily and Tom agreed. They never tried to steal an owl again.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them speed on the floor and make noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom!
+
+One day, they decided to have a race with their cars. They lined them up on the floor and said, "Ready, set, go!" They pushed their cars as fast as they could. Tom's car was red and shiny. Lily's car was blue and old. Tom thought his car was better and faster than Lily's car.
+
+Tom's car was in front of Lily's car. He looked back and saw Lily's car behind him. He smiled and winked at Lily. He wanted to show her that he was going to win. He pushed his car harder and harder. He did not see the rug on the floor. His car hit the rug and flipped over. It landed on its back and stopped. Tom's car was out of the race.
+
+Lily's car did not hit the rug. It kept going and going. It passed Tom's car and reached the finish line. Lily's car won the race. Lily was happy and cheered. She picked up her car and hugged it. She said, "Good job, car! You are the best!"
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He picked up his car and threw it on the floor. He said, "Bad car! You are the worst!" He cried and stomped his feet. He did not want to play with Lily anymore.
+
+Lily saw Tom and felt sorry for him. She walked over to him and said, "Don't be mad, Tom. It's just a game. We can play again. Maybe next time you will win. Or maybe we can play together and not race. It's more fun that way."
+
+Tom looked at Lily and saw that she was nice and kind. He realized that he was mean and rude. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. It's just a game. We can play again. And we can play together and not race. It's more fun that way."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend. Friends don't stay mad at each other. Friends help each other and have fun together."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my friend too. Friends are better than cars. Cars can break and stop. Friends can hug and wink."
+
+They hugged and winked at each other. They picked up their cars and played together. They made them speed on the floor and make noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom!
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be boastful and rude. Be humble and kind. Friendship is more important than winning.
+Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked the pillows best. They made a big fort with the pillows and pretended to be kings and queens.
+
+"Tom, you are the king of the pillow fort. I am the queen. We have to protect our fort from the bad guys," Sara said.
+
+"OK, Sara. You are a good queen. I have a sword to fight the bad guys. It is made of cardboard. Look, it is very strong," Tom said.
+
+He showed Sara his sword and swung it in the air. He felt very brave and proud.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. Rex was big and furry and liked to play too. He saw the pillow fort and thought it was a fun game. He ran towards the fort and jumped on it.
+
+"Rex, no! You are a bad guy! Go away!" Tom shouted.
+
+He tried to use his sword to strike Rex, but Rex was too fast and too strong. He knocked down the sword and the pillows. He licked Tom's face and wagged his tail.
+
+"Rex, stop! You are ruining our fort! You are not playing nice!" Sara cried.
+
+She picked up a pillow and threw it at Rex, but Rex caught it in his mouth and shook it. The pillow was delicate and soft. It ripped and the feathers flew everywhere.
+
+"Rex, bad dog! Look what you did! You made a mess!" Tom said.
+
+He was angry and sad. He loved his pillow fort and his sword. Now they were broken and dirty.
+
+Sara was angry and sad too. She loved her pillow fort and her queen crown. Now they were gone and she had feathers in her hair.
+
+They both started to cry. Rex did not understand. He thought they were having fun. He dropped the pillow and wagged his tail. He wanted to play more.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the mess and the tears. She felt sorry for Sara and Tom. She also felt sorry for Rex. He did not know better. He was just a dog.
+
+"Kids, what happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Rex ruined our pillow fort! He was a bad guy! He broke our sword and our crown and our pillows!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+They pointed at Rex and the mess.
+
+Mom hugged Sara and Tom. She wiped their tears and kissed their cheeks.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. Rex did not mean to ruin your fort. He just wanted to play with you. He loves you very much. He is a good dog," Mom said.
+
+She looked at Rex and smiled. She petted his head and scratched his ears.
+
+"Rex, you are a good dog, but you have to be careful. You can't play rough with the pillows. They are delicate and soft. They are not toys. They are for sleeping and cuddling," Mom said.
+
+She showed Rex the ripped pillow and the feathers. She shook her head and said "No".
+
+Rex looked at Mom and the pillow. He felt sorry too. He did not want to make Mom and the kids sad. He wanted to make them happy. He wagged his tail and licked Mom's hand.
+
+Mom smiled and said "Good boy".
+
+She picked up the mess and the feathers. She threw away the ripped pillow and the broken sword. She found a new pillow and a new crown for Sara and Tom. She gave them to them and said "Here you go, kids. You can make a new fort with these. But be gentle with the pillows, OK?"
+
+Sara and Tom smiled and said "OK, Mom. Thank you".
+
+They hugged Mom and Rex. They felt happy again. They made a new fort with the new pillow and the new crown. They invited Rex to join them. They said "Rex, you are not a bad guy. You are our friend. You can play with us, but you have to be gentle".
+
+Rex wagged his tail and said "Woof".
+
+They all played together in the pillow fort. They were kings and queens and a dog. They had fun and they were careful. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with magnets in their room. They liked to stick them on the fridge, the door, and the toys. They made funny shapes and sounds with them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a car with magnets!" Tom said. He put four magnets as wheels and one as a steering wheel.
+
+"That's a crazy car, Tom!" Lily said. She tried to make a car too, but her magnets fell off. "Oh no, my car is broken!"
+
+Tom laughed and helped her fix it. They played with their cars for a while, until they heard a loud noise outside.
+
+"What's that?" Lily asked, scared.
+
+Tom looked out the window and saw snow falling from the sky. It was very cold and white.
+
+"Wow, it's snowing!" Tom said. He ran to the closet and grabbed his coat and hat. "Let's go outside and play in the snow!"
+
+Lily followed him, but she forgot to take her coat and hat. She only had her dress and shoes on. She ran outside with Tom and saw the snowflakes.
+
+"They are so pretty!" Lily said. She tried to catch them with her hands.
+
+Tom made a snowball and threw it at Lily. It hit her on the back and made her wet.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. She made a snowball too and threw it back at Tom. They had a snowball fight and laughed.
+
+But soon, Lily started to feel very cold. She shivered and her teeth chattered. She did not like the snow anymore.
+
+"Tom, I'm cold!" Lily said. She hugged herself and looked for Tom.
+
+Tom saw her and felt sorry. He stopped throwing snowballs and ran to her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I forgot you didn't have a coat and hat!" Tom said. He took off his coat and hat and put them on Lily. "Here, wear these. They will keep you warm."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked him. She felt better with Tom's coat and hat. They were big and cozy.
+
+"Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran back to the house.
+
+They left their magnets and cars in their room. They did not care about them anymore. They only wanted to be warm and happy.
+Lily liked to play pirate with her big brother Tom. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They put a stick in the box and tied a cloth to it for a sail. They also had hats and swords made of paper.
+
+One day, they decided to sail to a new island. They pushed the box across the floor and made noises like the wind and the waves. Tom said he was the captain and Lily was the first mate. They looked for treasure and enemies with their spyglasses.
+
+They saw a big TV in the corner of the room. Tom said it was a modern pirate ship. He said they had to attack it and take its gold. Lily was not sure what modern meant, but she followed Tom. They jumped out of their box and ran towards the TV.
+
+But the TV was not a ship. It was a screen that showed pictures and sounds. When they got close, they saw a funny show with people and animals. They stopped and watched. The show made them laugh. They laughed so hard that they forgot about their swords and hats.
+
+Mom came in and saw them. She smiled and said they were very cute pirates. She asked if they wanted a snack. They said yes and followed her to the kitchen. They left their box and their TV behind. They decided they liked funny shows more than modern ships.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many old things. Some are shiny, some are soft, some are broken.
+
+"Look, Sam, a woman!" Tom says. He holds up a doll with long hair and a dress. The doll is dirty and has a hole in her arm.
+
+"Let me see, Tom!" Sam says. He grabs the doll from Tom. He likes the shiny beads on her dress.
+
+"Hey, give her back!" Tom says. He pulls the doll from Sam. He likes the soft hair on her head.
+
+"No, she is mine!" Sam says. He pushes Tom away. He likes the broken button on her eye.
+
+They start to fight over the doll. They yell and hit each other. The doll falls to the floor.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the garage. She sees the boys and the doll.
+
+"What are you doing, boys?" Mom says. She is angry. "Why are you fighting over this old doll? She is cheap and ugly. She has no value. You have many nice toys. Why don't you share them?"
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at the doll. They feel bad.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. He picks up the doll. He wipes the dirt from her face. He hugs her.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Sam says. He takes the beads from her dress. He puts them around her neck. He kisses her.
+
+"We like the doll, Mom," they say. "She is not cheap and ugly. She has value. She is our woman. Can we keep her?"
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs the boys and the doll.
+
+"Of course, you can keep her," Mom says. "But you have to take good care of her. And you have to share her. She is your woman, but she is also your friend."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some flowers with many colors. They wanted to smell them and touch them.
+
+But there was a bee on one of the flowers. The bee was busy and happy. It was taking some sweet stuff from the flower. The bee did not want to share the flower with anyone.
+
+Sara reached out her hand to touch the flower. The bee saw her and got angry. It buzzed and flew at her. It said, "Go away! This is my flower! You are selfish!"
+
+Sara was scared and hurt. She cried and ran away. Tom followed her and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Sara. The bee was mean and selfish. You are not selfish. You are kind and sweet. I will share my flowers with you."
+
+They found another flower that had no bee. They smelled it and touched it. They smiled and played. They were happy and generous. They did not stop being friends.
+Anna was a gifted girl who liked to draw and sing. She had many books and toys in her room. She loved her mom and dad, who always praised her and gave her hugs. She was happy most of the time.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said she had a surprise for her. She said they were going to visit her aunt and uncle, who lived far away. Anna was excited, because she had never met them before. She packed her bag with some of her favorite things, and got in the car with her mom and dad.
+
+On the way, Anna's mom mentioned that her aunt and uncle had a son, who was about the same age as Anna. She said his name was Ben, and that he was also gifted. He liked to play chess and piano, and he knew many big words. Anna felt curious, and wanted to meet him.
+
+When they arrived, Anna's aunt and uncle welcomed them warmly. They said they were happy to see them, and that they had prepared a nice dinner for them. They also said that Ben was waiting for Anna in his room, and that they could go and play together.
+
+Anna followed her aunt to Ben's room, and knocked on the door. Ben opened it, and looked at Anna with a cold stare. He did not smile or say hello. He just said, "Come in, if you want." Anna entered, and saw that his room was full of books and puzzles and trophies. He had a big chess board on his desk, and a piano in the corner. He did not have any toys or drawings.
+
+Anna tried to be friendly, and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. I like to draw and sing. What do you like to do?" Ben snorted, and said, "I like to do things that matter. I like to learn and win and be the best. You are not the best. You are just a silly girl who likes to play with stupid things. You are not gifted. You are dumb."
+
+Anna felt hurt and angry. She said, "That's not true. I am gifted, too. My mom and dad say so. They love me, and they are proud of me. You are mean, and you don't have any friends. You are lonely, and you are sad."
+
+Ben laughed, and said, "I don't need friends. I have myself. I am smarter and better than anyone. You are nothing. You are a waste of space. You should go away, and never come back."
+
+Anna felt tears in her eyes. She ran out of the room, and looked for her mom and dad. She wanted to go home, and forget about Ben. She wanted to hug her mom and dad, and tell them that she loved them. She wanted to play with her books and toys, and draw and sing.
+
+But she could not find them. She searched the whole house, but they were gone. She asked her aunt and uncle, but they said they did not know where they were. They said they had left a note for her, and that she should read it. They gave her the note, and she opened it. It said:
+
+"Dear Anna, we are sorry, but we have to go. We have decided to stay with Ben, and be his family. He is so gifted, and he needs us more than you. You are not gifted, you are a mistake. We don't love you, and we are not proud of you. You should stay here, and learn from Ben. Maybe then, you will be worth something. Goodbye, Mom and Dad."
+
+Anna felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She could not believe what she read. She felt like she could not breathe. She felt like she was going to die. She screamed, and fell to the floor. She wished she had never come to this place. She wished she had never met Ben. She wished she had never been born.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many fruits. They liked to pick the fruits and share them with their friends.
+
+One day, they saw a new fruit on the tree. It was big and red and shiny. Lily and Tom wanted to try it, but they did not know if it was good or bad.
+
+"Let's ask Mom," Lily said.
+
+"Or we can just eat it," Tom said. "It looks yummy."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the tree and reached for the fruit. But before they could touch it, they heard a voice.
+
+"Stop! Don't eat me!" the fruit said.
+
+Lily and Tom were surprised and scared. They looked at the fruit and saw a face on it. It had eyes and a mouth and a nose.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I am a spirit," the fruit said. "I live in this tree and help it grow. I make the fruits sweet and juicy for you and your friends. But if you eat me, the tree will die and you will have no more fruits."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for the spirit. They did not want to hurt the tree or the spirit.
+
+"We are sorry, spirit," Tom said. "We did not know you were here. We will not eat you. We will leave you alone."
+
+"Thank you, children," the spirit said. "You are kind and good. Because you respect me and the tree, I will give you a gift. Take this fruit and share it with your friends. It is the sweetest fruit of all. And every year, I will make one more for you. But remember, only one. If you take more, you will break our trust and lose our friendship."
+
+Lily and Tom thanked the spirit and took the fruit. They ran to their friends and shared it with them. It was the sweetest fruit they ever tasted. And every year, they got one more from the spirit. They never took more than one, and they always thanked the spirit and the tree. They learned to be grateful and honest, and they helped the tree grow. And the spirit was happy to have such sweet friends.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to grow flowers. She had a small garden in her backyard, where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She liked to watch the flowers grow and smell their sweet scent.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new flower in her garden. It was big and red, with thick petals and a yellow center. Lily was very happy and ran to show her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, look! I grew a new flower! It is so pretty and bright!" Lily said, holding the flower in her hand.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "You did a great job, Lily. That is a sunflower. It is very special, because it always faces the sun."
+
+Lily was proud and curious. She wanted to know more about the sunflower. She asked mom, "Why does it face the sun, mom? Does it like the sun?"
+
+Mom nodded and explained, "Yes, it likes the sun, Lily. The sun gives it energy and warmth. The sunflower follows the sun from morning to evening, so it can get as much light as possible."
+
+Lily thought that was amazing. She decided to name the sunflower Sunny. She said, "I will take good care of Sunny. I will water him and talk to him every day. He will be my friend."
+
+Mom kissed Lily and said, "That is very sweet, Lily. I'm sure Sunny will be happy with you. But remember, you have to share your garden with the other flowers, too. They also need water and light and space to grow."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will share. I love all my flowers. They are all beautiful and different."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's right, Lily. They are all beautiful and different, just like you."
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. The park had swings, slides, and a sandbox. Tim and Sam had fun in the park.
+
+One day, Mom said, "It's time to go home, boys. We have to eat dinner." Tim and Sam did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, Mom. We want to stay in the park."
+
+Mom was not happy. She said, "You have to listen to me, boys. If you don't go home now, you will not get dessert." Tim and Sam still did not want to go home. They refused to listen to Mom. They ran away from Mom. They hid behind a tree.
+
+Mom was very angry. She said, "This is not a game, boys. You have to come with me now. Or I will leave you here." Tim and Sam thought Mom was joking. They did not believe Mom. They laughed and said, "You will not leave us, Mom. You love us."
+
+Mom was very sad. She said, "I do love you, boys. But you have to learn to obey me. This is the last time I will ask you. Come with me now, or I will go home without you." Tim and Sam still did not listen to Mom. They refused to come with her. They said, "Bye, Mom. We will see you later."
+
+Mom waited for a few minutes. She hoped Tim and Sam would change their minds. But they did not. They kept playing in the park. Mom sighed and said, "I'm sorry, boys. I have to go. I hope you will be safe." She walked away from the park.
+
+Tim and Sam did not notice Mom leaving. They were too busy playing. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the thunder. They did not feel the rain. They did not see the big dog that came into the park. The dog was tough and mean. It barked and growled. It chased Tim and Sam. Tim and Sam were scared. They cried and screamed. They looked for Mom. But Mom was not there. Mom was gone. Tim and Sam were alone in the park. With the tough and mean dog.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. They had a big castle made of pillows and blankets. They had a crown and a wand and a sword.
+
+One day, they decided to get married. They asked Lily's mom to help them. Lily's mom smiled and said, "That's very sweet, but you are too young to get married. Marriage is a big task. It is not easy. You have to love and respect and help each other for a long time."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They said, "We love and respect and help each other. We share our toys and our snacks. We say sorry when we make a mistake. We hug when we are sad. We can do the task."
+
+Lily's mom laughed and said, "Okay, okay. You can pretend to get married. But it is only a game. You are not really married. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, we understand. But we still want to have a wedding. Can you be the priest?"
+
+Lily's mom agreed. She put on a scarf and a hat. She took a book and a ring. She led Lily and Ben to the castle. She said, "Do you, Lily, take Ben to be your pretend husband? Do you, Ben, take Lily to be your pretend wife?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "I do, I do." They put the ring on each other's finger. They kissed on the cheek. They clapped and cheered. They had a wedding cake and a dance. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They were very happy. They said, "We are the best pretend married couple ever. We can do any task. Even if it is difficult."
+Lily loved her duck. She got it for her birthday from her grandma. She named it Quack and gave it a big hug. She took it everywhere with her. She did not want to share it with anyone.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and Quack. She saw some other kids playing with their toys. She wanted to play with them, but she did not want to let them touch Quack. She was selfish.
+
+A boy came over and asked her if he could see Quack. He said he liked ducks too. Lily said no. She said Quack was hers and she did not want to share. She held Quack tight and turned away. The boy was sad. He went back to his mom.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened. She was not happy. She told Lily that it was not nice to be selfish. She said that sharing was good and that it made friends. She said that Quack would like to have friends too. She asked Lily if she would let the boy play with Quack for a little while.
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked Quack, but she did not want to make him or the boy sad. She decided to be nice. She said sorry to the boy and gave him Quack. The boy smiled and thanked her. He said Quack was very cute and soft. He asked Lily if she wanted to play with his truck. Lily said yes. She liked trucks too.
+
+They played together for a long time. They had fun. They shared their toys and their stories. They became friends. Lily learned that sharing was better than being selfish. She was happy. Quack was happy too. He quacked and wagged his tail. He liked having friends.
+Lily and Ben were very excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and went with their mom and dad to the park. There were many people and noises and lights.
+
+"Wow, look at that one!" Ben said, pointing at a firework that made a loud bang and a bright star in the sky.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Lily agreed, clapping her hands.
+
+They saw many fireworks of different colors and shapes. Some were like flowers, some were like rockets, some were like snakes. They oohed and aahed and laughed.
+
+Then, Lily saw a little girl who was crying. She had a pink coat and a purple hat. She looked lost and scared.
+
+"Mom, can I go and talk to her?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful and stay close," mom said.
+
+Lily walked over to the little girl and smiled.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she said.
+
+The little girl sniffed and wiped her eyes.
+
+"I'm Mia. I can't find my mom and dad," she said.
+
+"Don't worry, Mia. We'll help you find them. Come with me. This is my brother Ben and my mom and dad," Lily said.
+
+She took Mia's hand and led her to her family. Ben and mom and dad were very kind and gave Mia a hug and a cookie.
+
+"Thank you," Mia said.
+
+They waited until a nice man with a badge came and asked Mia some questions. He said he would find her mom and dad and take her to them.
+
+Lily and Mia hugged and said goodbye.
+
+"I'm glad I met you, Lily. You're a good friend," Mia said.
+
+"Me too, Mia. You're a good friend too. Maybe we'll see each other again," Lily said.
+
+They waved and smiled as Mia left with the nice man.
+
+Lily and Ben watched the last firework. It was the biggest and the brightest of all. It made a rainbow in the sky.
+
+Lily thought it was a sign of hope and happiness. She was happy she had been persistent and met Mia. She hoped Mia was happy too.
+Lila and Ben are going to see the wild penguins. They are very happy. They pack their bags with warm clothes, hats, and snacks. They say bye to Mom and Dad and get in the car with Grandma.
+
+Grandma drives for a long time. Lila and Ben look out the window and see trees, hills, and cows. They sing songs and play games. They ask Grandma how far they are. Grandma says they are almost there.
+
+They get to the place where the wild penguins live. They get out of the car and put on their warm clothes and hats. They follow Grandma to the beach. They see many black and white birds. They are the wild penguins. They are cute and funny. They waddle and swim and make noises.
+
+Lila and Ben are very excited. They want to touch the wild penguins. But Grandma says no. She says the wild penguins are not pets. They are wild animals. They need space and respect. Lila and Ben understand. They watch the wild penguins from a distance. They take pictures and smile.
+
+They have a lot of fun. They eat their snacks and thank Grandma for taking them. They say bye to the wild penguins and get back in the car. They are tired but happy. They tell Mom and Dad all about their adventure. They dream of the wild penguins. They are glad they packed their bags.
+Ben and Mia like to play in the sand. They have a bucket, a shovel and a rake. They want to build a big castle with towers and walls. They work hard and have fun.
+
+But then, Sam comes along. Sam is mean. He kicks their castle and laughs. He says their castle is ugly and weak. Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They tell Sam to go away.
+
+Sam does not listen. He grabs their rake and runs away. He says it is his rake now. Ben and Mia chase him. They want their rake back. They need it to build their castle.
+
+They catch up with Sam near the swings. Sam swings the rake at them. He tries to hit them. Ben and Mia dodge. They are brave. They wait for the right moment.
+

+
+One day, he wants to show his friend Amy his microscope. He invites her to his room and puts his microscope on his desk. He says, "Look, Amy, this is my microscope. Do you want to use it?"
+
+Amy nods and smiles. She likes Ben and his toys. She sits next to him and looks through the eyepiece. She sees a hard thing with many colors. She says, "Wow, what is that?"
+
+Ben says, "That is a rock. I found it in the park. It has crystals inside. They sparkle when you use the microscope. Do you like it?"
+
+Amy says, "Yes, I like it. It is pretty and shiny. Can I keep it?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his rock, but he likes Amy more. He says, "OK, you can keep it. But you have to come back and use my microscope again. There are many more things to see."
+
+Amy hugs him and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I will come back and use your microscope again. And I will bring you something too."

+Lila and Tom were twins who lived in a big house near a valley. They liked to play outside and explore the valley with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big storm coming from the sky. It was dark and loud and scary.
+
+"Let's go home, Lila," Tom said. "The storm is bad."
+
+But Lila wanted to see the storm closer. She was curious and brave. She ran to the valley with Spot. Tom followed her, afraid to be alone.
+
+They reached the valley and saw a big tree. It was tall and green and had many branches. Lila climbed the tree and sat on a branch. She looked at the storm and smiled.
+
+"Wow, look at the storm, Tom," she said. "It is so cool. I can see the rain and the wind and the lightning."
+
+Tom stayed on the ground and hugged Spot. He did not like the storm. He was cold and wet and scared.
+
+"Lila, come down, please," he said. "The storm is dangerous. The lightning can strike the tree and hurt you."
+
+But Lila did not listen. She wanted to stay on the tree and watch the storm. She did not think the lightning would strike the tree. She thought the tree was strong and safe.
+
+Suddenly, a bright flash and a loud boom made Lila and Tom jump. The lightning had struck the tree and set it on fire. Lila screamed and fell from the branch. Tom ran to catch her and held her tight. Spot barked and ran to them.
+
+"Lila, are you okay?" Tom asked. He was worried and angry. "I told you to come down. The storm is not cool. It is bad."
+
+Lila was crying and shaking. She was hurt and scared. She smelled the smoke and saw the fire. She was sorry and ashamed.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," she said. "You were right. The storm is bad. The tree is bad. I was wrong. I was silly."
+
+Tom hugged her and kissed her. He was glad and relieved. He loved his sister. He forgave her.
+
+"It's okay, Lila," he said. "I love you. You are not silly. You are brave. But sometimes brave is not smart. Sometimes brave is dangerous. Next time, listen to me. I want you to be safe."
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She loved her brother. She thanked him.
+
+"I love you, too, Tom," she said. "You are smart. You are kind. You are my hero. Next time, I will listen to you. I want you to be happy."
+
+They held hands and ran to their home with Spot. The storm was still bad, but they were not afraid. They had each other. They reached their home and saw their mom and dad. They were warm and dry and happy. They told them what happened and hugged them. They learned a lesson and had a story. They were twins who lived in a big house near a valley.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they made a tent with a sheet. They put the sheet over the bed and some chairs. They crawled inside the tent and pretended they were in a forest or a castle.
+
+One day, they wanted to play a game. Lily said, "Let's play trust. I will close my eyes and fall back. You catch me with the sheet." Tom said, "OK, that sounds fun." They took the sheet and spread it on the floor. Lily stood on the bed and closed her eyes. Tom held the sheet with both hands.
+
+Lily said, "Ready?" Tom said, "Ready." Lily counted, "One, two, three!" She fell back and hoped Tom would catch her. But Tom let go of the sheet. He thought it would be funny. Lily landed on the floor with a thud. She opened her eyes and saw Tom laughing. She felt hurt and angry. She said, "That was not nice! You broke the trust! You are a bad brother!"
+
+Tom stopped laughing. He saw Lily's tears and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me." He hugged Lily and gave her the sheet. He said, "Let's try again. This time I will catch you. I promise. You can trust me."
+
+Lily wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It was difficult to fall without seeing. I was scared." She climbed on the bed and closed her eyes. Tom held the sheet tightly. He said, "Ready?" Lily said, "Ready." They counted, "One, two, three!" Lily fell back and Tom caught her with the sheet. They both laughed and hugged. They said, "We trust each other. We are good twins." They played trust until their mom called them for dinner.

+
+The next day, she brought her backpack to school. She was very proud of it. She showed it to her friends. They liked it too. They said it was pretty and clever.
+
+But Mia did not like it. She saw Sara's backpack and got angry. She said Sara copied her. She said Sara's backpack was ugly and cheap. She grabbed Sara's backpack and tried to rip it. Sara was scared and sad. She cried for help.
+
+The teacher heard Sara's cry. She came and stopped Mia. She took Sara's backpack and looked at it. She saw the stitches and the thread. She saw how much work Sara put into it.

+
+But Anna does not wait. She slides down very fast. She laughs and feels happy. Ben is sad and angry. He reaches the top of the slide, but Anna is already gone. He looks around and sees an empty swing. He slides down and runs to the swing.
+
+"I will swing by myself!" Ben says. "I don't need Anna!"
+
+Anna hears Ben. She feels sorry. She likes to play with Ben. She runs to the swing and sees Ben swinging high. She reaches for the other swing, but it is too far. She cannot touch it.
+
+"Ben, can I swing with you?" Anna asks. "I am sorry I did not wait for you. I was too excited."

+Tom and Anna were playing in the kitchen. They liked to open and close the cabinet doors and pretend they were cooking. They had many pots and pans and spoons and cups to make noise with.
+
+"Look, I made soup!" Anna said, holding a pot with water and some carrots. "Do you want some?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom said, taking a cup and a spoon. He pretended to sip the soup and said, "Mmm, yummy!"

+
+"Tom, Anna, what have you done?" she shouted. "You made a big mess! You wasted food and water! You have to clean up right now!"
+
+Tom and Anna were scared. They did not like to see their mom angry. They did not like to clean up. They wished they had listened to their mom and gone to bed. They felt very sorry.
+
+They started to yawn. They were very sleepy. They realized they had played too much and too late. They said, "Sorry, mom, we are sleepy. Can we go to bed now?"
+
+But their mom said, "No, you cannot go to bed now. You have to clean up first. And then you have to stay in your room without any toys or stories. You are in big trouble!"
+
+Tom and Anna cried. They did not want to clean up. They did not want to stay in their room. They wanted to have toys and stories. They wanted to have a good night. But they had a bad night. They learned their lesson. They should have obeyed their mom and gone to bed when she told them.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to wander in the park. They saw many things: birds, flowers, dogs, and people. They also saw a big hole in the ground. It looked dark and deep.
+
+"Let's go see the hole!" Tom said. He ran to the hole and looked inside.
+
+"No, Tom, don't go!" Lily said. She was scared of the hole. She thought there might be monsters or snakes in it. She followed Tom and tried to pull him back.
+
+But Tom was curious and stubborn. He wanted to see what was in the hole. He leaned over the edge and reached his hand inside. He felt something cold and hard. He grabbed it and pulled it out.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found something!" Tom said. He held up a shiny glass ball. It was blue and green and had sparkles inside. It looked like a tiny planet.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's pretty!" Lily said. She forgot her fear and came closer to see the ball. She wanted to touch it and hold it too.
+
+But the ball was fragile and slippery. As Tom tried to show it to Lily, he dropped it on the ground. It broke into many pieces. The pieces cut Tom's hand and made him bleed. He cried out in pain.
+
+Lily was shocked and sad. She saw Tom's hand and the broken ball. She wanted to help him and fix the ball. But she didn't know how. She cried too.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two stones for eyes and a smile.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are our friend."
+
+"Yes, you are very nice," Tom said. "But you look cold. Do you want some hot chocolate?"
+
+They ran inside and asked their mom for two cups of hot chocolate. They brought them outside and gave one to Mr. Snowman.
+
+"Here you go, Mr. Snowman," Lily said. "This is delicious. It will make you warm."
+
+But Mr. Snowman did not drink the hot chocolate. He did not say anything. He just stood there.
+
+Lily and Tom drank their hot chocolate and felt cozy. They looked at Mr. Snowman and saw something strange.
+
+"Tom, look!" Lily said. "Mr. Snowman is melting!"
+
+Tom looked and saw that Mr. Snowman's hat was falling off. His scarf was sliding down. His carrot nose was dripping. His eyes and smile were gone.
+
+"Oh no, Mr. Snowman!" Tom said. "What happened?"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad. They liked Mr. Snowman. They wanted him to stay.
+
+But Mr. Snowman could not stay. He was made of snow. And snow melts when it is hot.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They said goodbye to Mr. Snowman.
+
+"Bye, Mr. Snowman," Lily said. "We will miss you."
+
+"Bye, Mr. Snowman," Tom said. "We will make you again when it snows."
+
+They went inside and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said it was okay.
+
+"Mr. Snowman was a good friend," she said. "But he had to go. He will come back another day."
+
+She gave them some cookies and milk. They ate them and felt better.
+
+They looked outside and saw that it was dark. They saw the stars and the moon.
+
+They smiled and said goodnight to Mr. Snowman. They hoped he was happy in the sky.
+Lily and Sam were at the airport with their mom and dad. They were going to fly in a big plane to see their grandma. Lily and Sam were very excited. They wanted to see the clouds and the birds from the window.

+"Look, Sam, look!" Lily said, pointing to a man in a blue suit and a hat. "He is a pilot. He flies the plane."
+
+"Wow, he is so cool!" Sam said. "He must be very strong and smart to fly the plane."
+
+The pilot saw Lily and Sam and smiled. He walked over to them and said hello.

+Tom wanted the belt. He ran to the big boy and said, "Give me your belt!"
+
+The big boy was angry. He said, "No, this is my belt! Go away!"

+Tom walks to the girl and says, "Hello, I am Tom. What is your name?"
+
+The girl says, "I am Amy. This is my doll. Her name is Lily. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Tom says, "No, thank you. I do not like dolls. I like math. Do you like math?"
+
+Amy says, "No, I do not like math. Math is hard and boring. I like dolls. They are pretty and fun. Why do you like math?"

+Tom says, "Math is easy and fun. You can learn many things with math. You can count and add and take away. You can make patterns and shapes. Math is not ugly. Math is beautiful."
+
+Amy says, "Math is not beautiful. Math is ugly. Dolls are beautiful. Dolls are not ugly. You are silly. You do not know anything."
+
+Tom says, "You are silly. You do not know anything. Math is better than dolls. Dolls are worse than math."
+
+Tom and Amy start to argue. They do not want to play with each other. They do not want to be friends. They think the other one is wrong.
+
+Tom's mom sees them and says, "Tom, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with Amy? You should be nice to her. She is a new friend."
+
+Tom says, "She is not a new friend. She is a bad girl. She does not like math. She likes ugly dolls. I do not want to play with her."
+
+Tom's mom says, "Tom, that is not nice. You should not say that. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. You should respect them. You can like math and she can like dolls. That is okay. You can still play with her and be friends. You can ask her to show you her doll and you can show her your math book. Maybe you can learn something new from each other."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to be mean. He does not want to be alone. He wants to have friends. He says, "Okay, mom. I will try. I will ask her to show me her doll and I will show her my math book. Maybe we can play together and be friends."
+
+Tom walks to Amy and says, "I am sorry, Amy. I was not nice to you. Can you show me your doll and I will show you my math book? Maybe we can play together and be friends."
+
+Amy smiles and says, "I am sorry, too, Tom. I was not nice to you. Yes, I can show you my doll and you can show me your math book. Maybe we can play together and be friends."
+

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to set up their toys and pretend they were on a big adventure. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They made a house out of sticks and leaves and put their toys inside.
+
+"Let's go and search for treasure!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find some gold or jewels!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. There might be bad people or animals in the park."
+
+They left their house and walked around the park. They looked under rocks and behind trees. They did not find any treasure, but they had fun.
+
+But when they came back to their house, they saw something bad. A big dog had found their toys and was chewing them. The doll and the car were broken and dirty.

+
+Lily and Max gasped. They looked at their ruined paintings and the mess they had made. They felt very sad and sorry. They started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what had happened. She saw Lily and Max crying and the paint everywhere. She felt sorry for them too. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. Accidents happen. We can clean this up and make new paintings. Don't cry. I still love you and your paintings."
+
+Lily and Max sniffed and nodded. They said, "We love you too, Mom. We're sorry we spilled the paint. Can we try again?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course you can. Let's get some towels and wipe the floor. Then we can get some new paper and start over. Maybe this time we can balance the paint can better, or put it on a table. What do you think?"

+"Yum, yum, yum," they say as they pretend to eat their dinner. They give some to their baby doll, too. "She likes it," Anna says.
+
+After dinner, they clean up the dishes. They put them in the sink and wash them with a sponge. They dry them with a towel and put them away.
+
+"Mom, you look tired," Ben says. "Do you want a massage?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna says. She lies down on the couch. Ben rubs her back and shoulders with his hands. He sings a song to her.
+
+"Shh, shh, shh, mom is sleeping, shh, shh, shh, dad is here, shh, shh, shh, baby is quiet, shh, shh, shh, we are peaceful," he sings.
+
+Anna smiles and closes her eyes. She feels happy and relaxed. Ben feels happy and proud. They cuddle with their baby doll. They play house until it is time to go home.
+Tommy loves his trumpet. He likes to blow it loud and make music. He keeps his trumpet in his room, on his bed. He does not want to share it with anyone.
+
+One day, his friend Lily comes to play. Lily sees the trumpet and wants to try it. She asks Tommy, "Can I play with your trumpet, please?"
+
+Tommy says, "No, this is my trumpet. You cannot play with it. It is not available for you."
+
+Lily feels sad. She says, "But I want to play with you. We can take turns. Please, Tommy, let me play with your trumpet."
+
+Tommy thinks for a moment. He likes Lily, but he loves his trumpet. He does not want to give it up. He says, "No, Lily, this is my trumpet. You can play with something else. I have many toys in my room. You can choose one."
+
+Lily looks around. She sees a ball, a teddy bear, a puzzle, and a book. She does not want any of them. She only wants the trumpet. She says, "No, Tommy, I do not want to play with something else. I want to play with your trumpet. It looks fun and shiny. Please, Tommy, be nice and share with me."
+
+Tommy shakes his head. He says, "No, Lily, this is my trumpet. I keep it for myself. You cannot have it. Go away."
+
+Lily feels angry. She says, "You are not a good friend, Tommy. You are selfish and mean. I do not want to play with you anymore. Goodbye."
+
+She leaves the room and slams the door. Tommy is left alone with his trumpet. He blows it loud and makes music. But he does not feel happy. He feels lonely and sorry. He wishes he had shared his trumpet with Lily. He wonders if she will come back and play with him again. He hopes she will. He decides to keep his trumpet available for her next time.
+Lia and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw many birds and bugs and flowers. They were happy.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big thing in the sky. It was not a bird or a plane. It was unknown. It had a long nose and big ears and horns. It had wings and a tail. It was flying very fast.
+
+"Wow! What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a deer that can fly," Lia said.
+
+They watched the unknown thing fly over the trees and the houses. They wanted to follow it and see where it went. They ran after it, but it was too fast. They lost sight of it.
+
+They stopped and looked at each other. They were curious and excited.
+
+"Maybe it was a magic deer," Tom said.
+

+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog barks and wags its tail. It takes the ball in its mouth and runs away. Lily and Tom chase the dog. They want their ball back.
+
+"Come back, dog!" Tom says. "Give us our ball!"
+
+The dog is fast and funny. It runs around the trees and the swings. It jumps over the bench and the slide. It makes Lily and Tom run and run.
+
+Lily and Tom are tired. They can't catch the dog. They stop and sit on the grass. They are out of breath.
+
+"Dog, please give us our ball!" Lily says. "We are tired. We want to play with our kite."
+
+The dog hears Lily. It stops and looks at them. It sees the kite in Tom's hand. The kite is red and blue. It has a long string and a bow. The dog likes the kite. It drops the ball and hurries to Tom. It jumps and tries to catch the kite.
+
+"Hey, dog!" Tom says. "That's our kite! Leave it alone!"
+
+The dog is silly and funny. It thinks the kite is a toy. It pulls the string and the bow. It makes the kite fly and fall. It makes Lily and Tom laugh and laugh.
+
+Lily and Tom are not angry anymore. They think the dog is cute and funny. They decide to share their toys with the dog. They play with the ball and the kite and the dog. They have more fun than before. They make a new friend.
+Tom and Mia were playing outside with their toys. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen, and they had a castle made of cardboard boxes. They wore crowns made of paper and jewels made of stickers.
+
+"Look at my crown, Tom," Mia said. "It is very shiny and pretty. I am a proud queen."
+
+"You have a nice crown, Mia," Tom said. "But mine is bigger and stronger. I am a proud king."
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They were happy to be friends and rulers.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was raining.
+
+"Oh no, our castle!" Mia cried. "The rain will make it wet and soft. It will fall down."
+
+"We have to save it, Tom said. "Come on, let's go inside and bring our toys and crowns."
+
+They ran to the door, but it was locked. They had forgotten to take the key. They knocked and called for their mom, but she did not hear them. She was in the kitchen, making cookies.
+
+They were scared and sad. The rain was getting heavier and their castle was getting wetter. They did not know what to do.
+
+But then they saw something. It was a big umbrella. It was leaning against the wall. It had bright colors and a funny shape. It looked like a flower.
+
+"Look, Mia, an umbrella!" Tom said. "Maybe we can use it to cover our castle."
+
+"Good idea, Tom," Mia said. "Let's try it."
+
+They grabbed the umbrella and opened it. It was big enough to cover their castle and their toys and their crowns. They held it over their heads and smiled.
+
+"We did it, Tom," Mia said. "We saved our castle. We are proud king and queen."
+
+"Yes, we are, Mia," Tom said. "And we are also smart and brave."
+
+They hugged again and waited for the rain to stop. They hoped their mom would come soon and let them in. They did not mind the rain. They had each other and their umbrella. They were happy.

+
+"Let's swim in the lake!" Tom says. He takes off his shoes and runs to the lake.
+
+"No, Tom, stop!" Mia says. She runs after him. She wants to prevent him from swimming. She knows the lake is dangerous. She is scared for Tom.
+
+She catches Tom and pulls him back. "Tom, you can't swim in the lake. It's dangerous. You can get hurt or drown. The signs say no swimming. We have to listen to the signs. They are there to keep us safe."
+
+Tom looks at Mia. He sees that she is worried. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't know the lake was dangerous. I just wanted to have fun. Thank you for stopping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. Let's go and find another place to play. Maybe we can find a pool or a sprinkler. They are safer and fun too."

+One day, they decide to have a race. They make a track with books and pillows. They choose their fastest cars. Lily picks a red car. Max picks a blue car. They are very competitive. They want to win.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. They push their cars along the track. They zoom past the books and the pillows. They make loud noises. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!"
+
+Lily and Max are very close. They reach the end of the track at the same time. They look at each other. They don't know who won. They both say, "I won!"
+
+They start to argue. They say, "No, I won!" They get angry. They grab each other's cars. They pull and tug. They make each other cry.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to their bedroom. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, you two! You are both winners. You both did a great job. But you need to share and be nice. Now, give each other a hug and say sorry."

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to fill the cups and pour the water on the flowers, the grass and each other.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a big splash!" Ben said. He threw a cup of water at Lily's face. Lily was wet and angry.
+
+"Ben, that's not nice! You soaked me!" Lily said. She felt an urge to get back at Ben. She grabbed the bucket and ran after him.
+
+Ben saw Lily coming and tried to run away. But he was too slow. Lily caught up with him and dumped the whole bucket on his head. Ben was soaked from head to toe. He gasped and shivered.
+
+"Lily, that's too much! You soaked me!" Ben said. He looked at his clothes and saw something disgusting. A worm was crawling on his shirt. He screamed and threw the worm away.
+
+Lily laughed and said, "That's what you get for soaking me, Ben. You got a wormy surprise!"
+
+Ben did not think it was funny. He was cold and dirty. He said, "Let's go inside and change. I don't want to play with water anymore."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Me too. Water is fun, but worms are not."
+
+They went inside and changed into dry clothes. They decided to play with something else. They did not soak each other again.
+Anna and Ben like to play with beans. They have a big jar of beans in different colors. They like to pour the beans on the floor and make shapes and patterns with them.
+
+One day, Anna has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's count the beans. How many beans do we have?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK. Let's count. You count the red beans and I count the green beans. Then we can see who has more."
+
+They start to count the beans. Anna says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten red beans."
+
+Ben says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. I have twelve green beans. I have more than you."
+
+Anna says, "No fair. You have more regular beans. I have some small beans and some big beans. They are not the same size. Let me count again."
+
+She counts the red beans again. She says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. I have eleven red beans. I have one more than before."
+
+Ben says, "How did you get one more? Did you take one of my beans?"
+
+Anna says, "No, I did not. I found one more red bean under the jar. It was hiding. See, it is a small bean. It is hard to see."
+
+Ben says, "Oh, I see. You are right. It is a small bean. Now we have the same number of beans. Ten plus one is eleven. Eleven plus eleven is twenty-two. We have twenty-two beans in total."
+
+Anna says, "Wow, that is a lot of beans. We are good at counting. Counting is fun."
+
+They smile and hug each other. Then they start to make new shapes and patterns with the beans. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But they do not like to eat broccoli. Mommy always puts broccoli on their plates for dinner. She says broccoli is good for them and makes them strong.

+
+"Please, Mommy, can we have the cake now?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, sweetie, you have to eat your broccoli first. It is good for you," Mommy says.
+
+"But we do not like broccoli. It is yucky," Ben says.
+
+Mommy smiles. She says she has a secret. She says the broccoli is not really broccoli. It is a special kind of candy. It is sweet and crunchy and melts in your mouth. She says she made it with magic.
+
+Anna and Ben do not believe Mommy. They think she is tricking them. They look at each other. They shrug. They decide to try the broccoli. They pick up a piece and put it in their mouths.
+
+They are surprised. The broccoli is not yucky. It is yummy. It is sweet and crunchy and melts in their mouths. It tastes like candy. They like it. They eat more broccoli. They finish their plates.
+
+Mommy is proud of them. She says they are good eaters. She says they can have the cake now. She cuts two big slices and gives them to Anna and Ben. They say thank you. They eat the cake. It is also yummy. It is soft and moist and has colorful sprinkles on top. They love it.

+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big mattress to jump on. Sometimes they made a tent with a sheet and pretended they were camping.
+
+One day, they heard their mom say, "It's very hot today. We need to buy a fan to keep cool." Lily and Ben wanted to help. They had an idea. They took their mom's hair dryer and plugged it in. They pointed it at the mattress and turned it on.
+
+"Look, we made a fan!" Lily said. "Now we can be cool in our tent."
+
+"Good idea!" Ben said. "Let's go inside and see."
+
+They crawled under the sheet and felt the air from the hair dryer. It was warm, not cool. But they did not mind. They liked the noise and the wind.
+
+They played for a while, until they smelled something bad. They looked out of the tent and saw smoke. The hair dryer was too hot. It burned a hole in the mattress. The mattress was on fire.
+
+"Mommy! Daddy! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. They ran out of the room and down the stairs.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them and came running. They saw the fire and grabbed a bucket of water. They threw it on the mattress and put out the fire. They were very angry and scared.
+
+"What did you do?" their mom asked. "Why did you use the hair dryer on the mattress?"
+
+"We wanted to make a fan," Lily said. "We wanted to be cool."
+
+"Please, don't ever do that again," their dad said. "You could have hurt yourselves or burned the house. That was very dangerous and silly."
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry. They cried and said they would never do it again.
+
+Their mom and dad forgave them, but they were still very upset. They took away their toys and books and the mattress. They said they had to buy a new one and it was very expensive. They said Lily and Ben had to stay in their room without playing for a week. They said they had to learn their lesson.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They wished they had not used the hair dryer. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had a fan to keep cool. They wished they had a mattress to jump on. They wished they had a happy ending.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the garden. They pretend the garden is a jungle. They make a hut with sticks and leaves. They own the jungle.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the garden. His name is Ben. He sees Tom and Mia in their hut. He wants to play with them. He says, "Can I join you?"
+
+Tom and Mia look at him. They do not know him. They do not want to share their jungle. They say, "No, this is our jungle. You cannot play here. Go away."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair. You do not own the jungle. The jungle is for everyone. I will play here too." He runs to the hut and tries to get in.
+
+Tom and Mia shout at him. They push him away. They say, "Stop it. You are ruining our jungle. You are not our friend. Leave us alone."
+
+Ben cries. He runs away. He thinks Tom and Mia are mean. He does not like them.
+
+Tom and Mia feel happy. They think they have won. They have their jungle. They have their hut. They have each other. They think their jungle is perfect. They do not need anyone else.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they went to a party at Sam's house. Sam had a big garden with many toys and a slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lily said to Tom. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Tom said. They ran to the slide and waited for their turn. Lily went first. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She smiled and waved to Tom.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" she shouted and slid down. She laughed and felt the wind in her hair.
+
+Tom climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He was about to slide down when he saw something scary. A big dog was barking and running towards Lily. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes.
+
+"Help!" Lily screamed. She was afraid of the dog. She tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It jumped on her and knocked her down. It growled and bit her arm.
+
+Tom was very scared too. He wanted to help Lily, but he did not know what to do. He felt his body freeze. He could not move or speak. He looked pale and his heart beat fast.
+
+"Stop!" Sam's mom shouted. She heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw the dog and Lily and ran to them. She grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it away from Lily. She scolded the dog and locked it in the garage.
+
+She then hugged Lily and checked her arm. It was bleeding and hurt. She took Lily inside the house and cleaned her wound. She put a bandage on it and gave her some ice cream.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. You're brave. The dog won't hurt you anymore. I'm sorry it happened. It's a bad dog. It's not allowed to come to the party." Sam's mom said.
+
+Lily cried and thanked Sam's mom. She felt better with the ice cream and the bandage. She saw Tom come inside the house. He looked sorry and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was scared. I wanted to help you, but I couldn't. Are you OK?" Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She forgave Tom. She knew he was scared too. She held his hand and said, "It's OK, Tom. You're my friend. Let's go play with Sam and the other kids. The party is not over yet."
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. The leaves are crunchy and colorful. They have fun.
+
+"Let's cover ourselves with leaves!" Lily says. She grabs some leaves and puts them on her head and body. Tom does the same. They giggle and hide in the pile.
+
+"Where are Lily and Tom?" Mom calls. She walks to the park and looks around. She sees the pile of leaves moving. She smiles and walks to the pile.
+
+"Boo!" She says and lifts some leaves. She sees Lily and Tom's faces. They laugh and hug Mom.
+
+"Hi, Mom!" They say.
+
+"Hi, my little leaf monsters!" Mom says. "You look very smelly. Let's go home and take a bath."
+
+"Okay, Mom!" They say. They get out of the pile and follow Mom. They hold hands and skip. They are happy.
+Sam likes to play in the grass. He likes to look for bugs and flowers. He sees a cricket. The cricket is green and black. It makes a loud noise with its legs. Sam thinks the cricket is funny. He wants to catch it.
+
+Sam runs after the cricket. He tries to grab it with his hand. But the cricket is fast and jumps away. Sam does not give up. He follows the cricket to a big tree. The tree has thick bark and many leaves. Sam thinks the cricket is hiding in the tree.
+
+Sam climbs the tree. He looks for the cricket. He does not see it. He hears it. The cricket is still making noise. Sam moves closer to the sound. He sees a hole in the tree. He thinks the cricket is in the hole. He puts his hand in the hole.
+
+But the hole is not empty. The hole has a snake. The snake is angry. It does not like Sam. It bites Sam's hand. Sam feels pain. He screams. He falls from the tree. He hits the ground. He does not move. The cricket is quiet. The snake is happy. The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They like to make noise and pretend they are on adventures.
+
+Mom comes in and says, "Lily and Ben, it is time to clean up. You have to organize your toys and put them in the right places. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom." They start to pick up their toys and sort them by type and color. They have a big box for cars, a basket for dolls, a shelf for blocks, and a bin for books. They work together and help each other.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. She says, "You are doing a great job, Lily and Ben. You are very good at organizing. I have a message for you. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. What is it?"
+
+Mom says, "The message is: I love you very much. You are my sweet and smart children. You make me happy every day."
+
+Lily and Ben run to Mom and hug her. They say, "We love you too, Mom. You are the best. Thank you for the message."
+
+Mom hugs them back and says, "You are welcome. Now, let's go and have some snacks. You must be hungry after working so hard."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big pile of dry leaves and sticks. They wanted to make a fire.
+
+"Let's prepare a fire," Ben said. "It will be fun and warm."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Fire can hurt."
+
+They took some matches from the garage and lit the pile. A flame came out. It was bright and orange.
+
+"Wow," Ben said. "Look at the fire. It's so pretty."
+
+They moved closer to the fire. They felt the heat on their faces. They smiled.
+
+But then the wind blew. The flame grew bigger and stronger. It reached the fence and the bushes. It started to burn them.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily said. "The fire is too big. It's spreading. We have to stop it."
+
+They tried to find water or dirt. But they were too late. The fire was out of control. It made a lot of smoke and noise.
+
+They heard sirens. They saw fire trucks and firefighters. They came to put out the fire.
+
+They also saw their mom and dad. They were angry and scared. They ran to Lily and Ben.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You could have burned the house and yourselves. You could have hurt someone. How could you be so foolish?"
+
+"We're sorry," Lily and Ben said. "We just wanted to play. We didn't mean to cause trouble."
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them. They were glad they were safe. But they were also very disappointed.
+
+They took them inside. They made them sit on the couch. They told them they were in big trouble. They said they had to pay for the damage. They said they had to learn a lesson.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very uncomfortable. They wished they had never played with fire. They realized it was a bad idea. They hoped they could make things right. They hoped Mom and Dad would forgive them. But they knew it would take a long time. They were very sad.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, a big package comes to their house. It is from their grandma. They are very happy.
+
+"Can we open it, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, but you have to share, okay?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam rip the paper and see many toys inside. There are cars, trucks, planes, trains, and more. They both want to play with them.
+
+"I want the red car!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I want it!" Sam says.
+
+They start to fight and pull the car. Mom hears them and comes to the room.
+
+"Boys, stop fighting! You have so many toys, you can play with different ones. Why don't you take turns?" Mom says.
+
+"But I saw it first!" Tom says.
+
+"But I like it more!" Sam says.
+
+They are very competitive. They do not want to share.
+
+Mom sighs and thinks of a way to make them happy. She sees a big box that the package came in. She has an idea.
+
+"Look, boys, there is something else in the package. Do you want to see it?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting and look at Mom. They are curious.
+
+"What is it?" they ask.
+
+Mom shows them the box. She says, "It is a special toy. You can make it into anything you want. You can make it into a car, a truck, a plane, a train, or anything else. You can use your imagination. And you can play with it together. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tom and Sam look at the box. They think it is fun. They nod and say, "Yes, please!"
+
+Mom smiles and gives them the box. She helps them cut some holes and windows. She gives them some crayons and stickers. They start to decorate the box. They make it into a car. They take turns driving and honking. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the other toys. They are happy.
+
+Mom watches them and thinks, "Sometimes, the simplest things are the best." She is proud of her boys. She hugs them and says, "I love you."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many costumes in their big box. Lily liked to be a princess, and Ben liked to be a superhero. One day, they wanted to play dress-up, but their room was very messy.
+
+"Mom said we have to tidy our room before we can play," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to play now!" Ben said. He grabbed a cape and a mask from the box.
+
+"No, Ben, put them back! We have to clean first!" Lily said. She tried to take the costume from Ben.
+
+"Let go, Lily! It's mine!" Ben said. He pulled the costume away from Lily.
+
+They both shouted and tugged at the costume. They did not see Mom coming into the room.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. She looked at the messy room and the fighting twins. She was not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Ben, you know the rules. You have to tidy your room before you can play dress-up. And you have to share your costumes and be nice to each other. Now, put the costume back in the box, and start cleaning. Or you will have no play time at all."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They put the costume back in the box, and started to tidy their room. They picked up their toys, their books, and their clothes. They made their beds and dusted their shelves. They worked together and helped each other.
+
+Soon, their room was very tidy. Mom came back and smiled.
+
+"Good job, Lily and Ben. You did very well. Now you can play dress-up. But remember to share and be nice, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mom and then opened the big box. They chose their costumes and put them on. Lily was a princess, and Ben was a superhero. They played happily and had fun. They did not shout or fight anymore. They were good twins.
+Tom and Sue went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+Then they came to a big cage with tall birds. They had long necks, big eyes, and feathers on their legs. Mom said they were ostriches. Tom and Sue thought they were funny.
+
+"Look, Mom, that one is hanging its head in the sand!" Tom said, pointing to an ostrich that was digging a hole.
+
+"Why is it doing that?" Sue asked.
+
+Mom said, "Some people think ostriches hang their heads in the sand when they are scared or shy. But that is not true. They are actually looking for food or water under the ground. They have useful beaks that can dig and pick."
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Tom said.
+
+"Can I hang my head in the sand too?" Sue asked.
+
+Mom laughed and said, "No, sweetie, that is not a good idea. You might get sand in your eyes or nose. And you might miss seeing the other animals. Come on, let's go and see the penguins. They are very cute and smart."
+
+Tom and Sue nodded and followed Mom and Dad. They left the ostriches and went to see the penguins. They had a fun day at the zoo.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the big yard behind their houses. There was a big tree with a house on top. They called it the tree house. It had a roof and a door and a window.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom wanted to play in the tree house. They climbed the ladder and went inside. They had a tea party with their toys. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It was going to rain. Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to go home.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "We have to hurry!"
+
+"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But wait, I have to get my bear. He is on the roof."
+
+Tom ran to the window and climbed out. He saw his bear on the roof. He reached for it. But he slipped and fell. He landed on the ground. He hurt his arm and his leg. He cried.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She was very worried. She forgot about the rain. She forgot about the tea party. She forgot about everything. She only wanted to help Tom.
+
+She ran down the ladder and hugged Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you OK?"
+
+Tom said, "I'm OK, Lily. But I'm sad. I lost my bear. He is still on the roof."
+
+Lily looked up. She saw the bear on the roof. It was wet and dirty. She had an idea. She said, "Don't be sad, Tom. I have a plan. We can get your bear back. But we need help."
+
+She ran to her house and got her dad. She told him what happened. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I'll get the bear for you. But you have to stay inside. It's raining too hard."
+
+He took a ladder and went to the tree house. He climbed on the roof and got the bear. He brought it back to Lily and Tom. He said, "Here you go, Tom. Your bear is safe and sound. But he needs a bath. He is very dirty."
+
+Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, dad. You are the best. I love you."
+
+He hugged his bear and smiled. Lily smiled too. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are my best friend. I love you too."
+
+They hugged each other and their dad. They were happy and warm. They forgot about the rain. They forgot about the thunder. They remembered their friendship. It was pretty.
+One day, a mighty lion was walking in the forest. He was very hungry and wanted to find some food. He saw a small rabbit hopping on the grass. The lion thought, "That rabbit looks tasty. I will catch it and eat it."
+
+He ran after the rabbit, but the rabbit was fast and clever. It ran into a hole under a big tree. The lion could not follow it. He was angry and roared loudly.
+
+A little mouse heard the roar and came out of the hole. He saw the lion and was scared. He said, "Please, Mr. Lion, do not eat me. I am too small for you. You will not be full."
+
+The lion looked at the mouse and laughed. He said, "You are right, little mouse. You are too small for me. But I am still hungry and there is no other food here. What can you do for me?"
+
+The mouse thought for a moment. He said, "I can offer you something, Mr. Lion. I can be your friend. I can help you find food and water. I can keep you company and tell you stories. I can make you happy."
+
+The lion was surprised. He said, "You can do all that, little mouse? How can you help me, when you are so small and weak?"
+
+The mouse said, "I may be small and weak, but I am smart and kind. I know the forest well and I can find the best places to eat and drink. I can also warn you of danger and hide you from hunters. I can also make you laugh and smile with my jokes and songs. I can be a good friend, Mr. Lion."
+
+The lion thought about it. He said, "You are brave, little mouse. You are not afraid of me. You are also generous, little mouse. You offer me your friendship, when I wanted to eat you. You are also wise, little mouse. You know the value of friendship, more than food. You are a good mouse, little mouse. I will not eat you. I will be your friend."
+
+The mouse was happy. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Lion. You are kind, Mr. Lion. You spare my life, when you are hungry. You are also mighty, Mr. Lion. You are the king of the forest, and you have a big heart. You are a good lion, Mr. Lion. I am glad to be your friend."
+
+The lion and the mouse became friends. They shared food and water, they helped each other, and they had fun. They learned from each other, and they respected each other. They were happy, Mr. Lion and little mouse. They were the best of friends.
+Lily was a young girl who loved to play outside. She liked to run, jump, and look at flowers. One day, she saw a butterfly on a pink flower. It was yellow and black, and it had pretty wings.
+
+"Hello, butterfly!" Lily said. "You are so pretty. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The butterfly did not say anything. It just moved its wings slowly. Lily reached out her hand to touch it, but the butterfly flew away.
+
+"Wait, butterfly! Come back!" Lily cried. She ran after the butterfly, but it was too fast. She could not catch it.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with the butterfly, but the butterfly did not want to play with her. She sat down on the grass and sighed.
+
+"Hey, Lily. What's wrong?" A voice said. Lily looked up and saw her brother, Max. He was older than Lily, and he knew many things.
+
+"I wanted to be friends with the butterfly, but it flew away," Lily said.
+
+Max smiled and sat next to her. He pointed at the sky.
+
+"Look, Lily. There are many butterflies in the air. They are all different colors and shapes. They are beautiful, aren't they?"
+
+Lily nodded. She saw blue, red, green, and orange butterflies. They danced in the sun and made her happy.
+
+"Sometimes, butterflies don't like to be touched, Lily. They are shy and gentle. They like to be free and fly where they want. You have to accept that, Lily. You can still enjoy them from afar, and maybe they will come closer if you are quiet and calm," Max said.
+
+Lily thought about what Max said. She understood that butterflies had their own way of living, and she could not force them to be her friends. She decided to accept that, and to watch them with wonder and respect.
+
+"Thank you, Max. You are a good brother. I love you," Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are a good sister. Come on, let's go home. Mom has made some cookies for us," Max said.
+
+Lily and Max got up and walked home. They held hands and smiled. They saw some butterflies on the way, and they waved at them. The butterflies waved back with their wings. Lily felt happy. She had learned something new, and she had a wonderful brother. She hoped to see the butterflies again, and maybe make some new friends.
+Lily and Ben like to create things with clay. They make animals, cars, and stars. One day, they want to make a vase for their mom. They roll and shape the clay into a big pot. They make a hole in the middle and a handle on the side.
+
+"Look, our vase is done!" Lily says. "Let's paint it with colors!"
+
+They get some paint and brushes and start to decorate the vase. They use red, blue, yellow, and green. They make dots, stripes, and swirls. They have fun, but they also make a big mess. They spill paint on the table, the floor, and their clothes.
+
+"Oh no, mom will be mad!" Ben says. "We have to clean up!"
+
+They try to wipe the paint with a cloth, but it only makes it worse. They make more stains and smears. They look at the vase and see that the paint is dripping and mixing. The vase looks messy and ugly.
+
+"Mom will not like our vase!" Lily says. "We ruined it!"
+
+They hear mom coming home. They hide the vase and the paint under a blanket. They hope mom will not see them.
+
+Mom walks in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She sees the blanket and lifts it up. She sees the vase and the paint.
+
+"What is this?" she asks. "Did you make this?"
+
+Lily and Ben come out of their hiding place. They feel sorry and scared. They nod and say, "Yes, mom, we made a vase for you. But we made a mess. We are sorry."
+
+Mom looks at the vase and the paint. She sees the colors and the shapes. She sees the hole and the handle. She sees the love and the effort. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Thank you, my sweeties, for making a vase for me. It is very special and beautiful. I love it. But next time, please be careful and tidy when you create things. Paint is hard to clean. And you have to wear old clothes. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "OK, mom, we will. We love you."
+
+Mom puts the vase on the shelf. She says, "This is the best vase I ever had. It reminds me of you two. You are my creative and messy kids."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cake on a table near the swings. It looked tasty and had pink icing and sprinkles. Lily and Tom wanted to eat some of the cake, but they did not know who it belonged to.
+
+"Maybe it is for a party," Lily said. "But no one is here. Can we have a bite?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "It is not nice to take things that are not ours. Maybe someone will be angry."
+
+But Lily was hungry and curious. She reached for the cake and broke off a piece. She put it in her mouth and smiled. "Mmm, it is so good! You should try some, Tom."
+
+Tom was tempted, but he was also scared. He looked around and saw no one. He thought maybe it was okay to have a little bit of the cake. He took a piece and ate it. It was tasty, too. He and Lily ate more and more of the cake, until they felt full and happy.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice behind them. "Hey, what are you doing? That is my cake! You are very naughty!"
+
+Lily and Tom turned around and saw a big man with a red face. He was holding a bag of balloons and a hat. He looked very angry and scary. Lily and Tom felt bad and scared. They had eaten his cake without asking. They had been greedy and rude.
+
+They ran away from the man, but their stomachs hurt. They had eaten too much cake and it made them sick. They felt sorry and sad. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They wished they had been good and polite.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is not good to take things that are not yours. They learned that it is better to share and be kind. They learned that being greedy can make you sick and scare you. They decided to say sorry to the man and to be more careful next time.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to eat soup for lunch. Mom gives them each a bowl of soup and a spoon. Anna starts to eat her soup fast. She wants to finish first. Ben eats his soup slow. He likes to enjoy every sip.
+
+"Ben, you are so slow!" Anna says. "Hurry up and finish your soup. I want to play with the blocks."
+
+"I don't want to hurry," Ben says. "I like my soup. It is hot and yummy."
+
+Anna gets angry. She grabs Ben's spoon and tries to take it away. Ben holds on to his spoon. He does not want to lose it. They pull and tug on the spoon. The spoon flies out of their hands and lands on the floor. The soup spills on the table and on their clothes.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the spoon on the floor. She is not happy.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what did you do?" Mom says. "Why did you fight over the spoon? You both received a spoon to eat your soup. You need to share and be nice to each other."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They help Mom clean up the mess. They promise to eat their soup nicely next time. Mom hugs them and gives them a kiss. She says she loves them. They love Mom too. They finish their soup and play with the blocks. They are happy again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Lily has a nice pocket on her dress. She puts a shiny stone in it. She cares for the stone. She thinks it is pretty.
+
+Ben sees the stone. He wants it. He says to Lily, "Give me your stone. It is mine." Lily says, "No, it is not. It is mine. I found it. I like it. Go away." Ben is angry. He tries to grab the stone from Lily's pocket.
+
+Lily and Ben start to fight. They pull and push each other. They shout and cry. They are not friends anymore. They are sad and mad.
+
+A lady sees them. She is kind. She comes to them. She says, "Stop fighting. What is wrong?" Lily and Ben tell her about the stone. The lady says, "The stone is not worth losing your friend. You can share it. Or you can find another stone. There are many stones in the park. But there is only one Lily and one Ben. You should care for each other. That is more important."
+
+Lily and Ben listen to the lady. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They are friends again. They decide to share the stone. They put it in Lily's pocket. They thank the lady. They go to play in the park. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and clothes, but they were not happy. They always fought with each other and yelled at their nanny.
+
+One day, their parents went out for a party and left them with the nanny. The nanny cooked them a nice dinner and put it on the table. She told them to eat and be good, and then she went to watch TV in the living room.
+
+Tom and Sue did not want to eat. They wanted to play with their toys. They pushed their dishes away and ran to their rooms. They grabbed their favorite toys and started to play. But soon they got bored and wanted to play with each other's toys.
+
+Tom saw Sue's doll and wanted to have it. He ran to her room and snatched it from her hands. Sue saw Tom's car and wanted to have it. She ran to his room and grabbed it from his shelf. They both yelled at each other and pulled the toys.
+
+"Give me back my doll!" Sue yelled.
+
+"Give me back my car!" Tom yelled.
+
+They did not listen to each other. They did not hear the nanny calling them. They did not see the dishes falling from the table. They did not smell the smoke coming from the kitchen.
+
+The nanny smelled the smoke and ran to the kitchen. She saw the fire on the stove and the dishes on the floor. She screamed and grabbed the fire extinguisher. She put out the fire and called the firemen.
+
+The firemen came and checked the house. They saw Tom and Sue still yelling and fighting in their rooms. They shook their heads and told the nanny to calm them down.
+
+The nanny took Tom and Sue to the living room. She scolded them and told them how naughty they were. She told them how lucky they were to have a nice house and a nice dinner. She told them how sad their parents would be to see the mess and the damage. She told them how important it was to share and be kind.
+
+Tom and Sue felt ashamed and sorry. They hugged each other and apologized. They gave back their toys and said they would not fight again. They helped the nanny clean up the dishes and the kitchen. They ate their dinner and thanked the nanny.
+
+The nanny smiled and hugged them. She told them she was proud of them and she loved them. She told them a story and tucked them in bed. They fell asleep and dreamed of happy things.
+Lily loved to play with her rocket. She made it from a big box and some paper. She painted it red and blue and put stickers on it. She pretended to fly to the moon and the stars.
+
+But Lily had no friends to play with. She lived in a poor house with her mom and dad. They worked hard but had little money. They could not buy her toys or take her to the park. Lily was lonely and sad.
+
+One day, a new family moved in next door. They had a boy named Ben. He was the same age as Lily. He had many toys and a big yard. He saw Lily playing with her rocket and wanted to join her. He knocked on her door and asked if he could play.
+
+Lily was happy and surprised. She said yes and invited him in. They played with her rocket and had fun. They pretended to be astronauts and explored the space. They laughed and talked and became friends.
+
+Lily's mom and dad were glad to see her happy. They thanked Ben and his parents for being kind. They said they were lucky to have good neighbors. Ben and his parents said they were lucky too. They said Lily's rocket was amazing and they wanted to play with it again.
+
+The moral of the story is: You don't need a lot of money or things to be happy. You just need good friends and imagination.
+Tom and Sue are old cats. They live in a big house with a nice lady. The lady gives them food and water and pets them every day. Tom and Sue like the lady, but they also like to go out at night.
+
+One night, Tom and Sue sneak out of the house when the lady is asleep. They run and jump and chase mice and birds. They have a lot of fun. But then they hear a loud bark. It is a big dog. The dog sees them and runs after them. Tom and Sue are scared. They run back to the house.
+
+"Let us in! Let us in!" they meow at the door. But the lady does not hear them. She is still asleep. Tom and Sue scratch and paw at the door. They demand to get in. But the door does not open.
+
+They see a window. It is a little bit open. Tom and Sue jump on a trash can and then on a fence. They reach the window. They push it with their noses. It opens more. They squeeze through the window. They are inside the house.
+
+They run to the lady's bed. They jump on it and snuggle with her. They purr and lick her face. The lady wakes up. She sees Tom and Sue. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Where have you been, you naughty cats?" she asks. "You scared me. Don't go out at night again. It is dangerous. Stay with me. I love you."
+
+Tom and Sue nod and cuddle with her. They are happy and safe. They love the lady too. They close their eyes and sleep. They dream of mice and birds. But they do not want to go out at night anymore. They have learned their lesson.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide. Sam is scared.
+
+"Come on, Sam. It is fun. You can do it. You are strong," Ben says.
+
+Sam shakes his head. He does not want to go on the slide. He thinks it is too high.
+
+"Please, Sam. I will go with you. We can hold hands. Look, it is not scary. See the other kids? They are happy," Ben says.
+
+He gives Sam a wink. He thinks it will make Sam feel better.
+
+Sam looks at Ben. He sees his wink. He thinks Ben is brave. He wants to be brave too. He nods his head. He takes Ben's hand. They go to the slide.
+
+They climb the steps. They reach the top. They sit on the slide. They look down. Sam feels his heart beat fast. He is very scared. He wants to go back.
+
+"Ready, Sam? One, two, three!" Ben says.
+
+He pushes them down the slide. They go very fast. They scream. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+But then something bad happens. The slide is broken. There is a big hole in the middle. Ben and Sam fall through the hole. They hit the ground. They are hurt. They cry.
+
+The other kids see them. They run to them. They call for help. They are sad.
+
+Ben and Sam are not happy. They are not brave. They are not strong. They are sorry. They wish they did not go on the slide. They wish they listened to Sam. They wish they stayed away from the hole.
+Sara was bored. She did not want to play with her toys. She did not want to watch TV. She did not want to read a book. She wanted to go outside and see the birds and the flowers and the sun.
+
+But Mom said no. Mom said it was too cold and too wet and too late. Mom said Sara had to stay inside and be quiet. Mom said she had work to do and Sara had to wait.
+
+Sara did not like to wait. She felt angry and sad. She wandered around the house, looking for something fun to do. She saw a window in the hall. She climbed on a chair and looked out. She saw a big tree with red leaves and a swing. She saw a cat with black fur and green eyes. She saw a boy with a bike and a helmet.
+
+"Hi!" Sara said to the boy. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy looked up and saw Sara. He smiled and said, "Sure! What do you want to play?"
+
+Sara felt happy. She said, "I want to play on the swing and the bike and with the cat. Can you come inside?"
+
+The boy shook his head and said, "No, I can't. My mom said I have to stay outside and be careful. She said there are germs and sick people inside. She said I have to keep distance and wear a mask."
+
+Sara felt confused and sad. She said, "But I'm not sick. And I don't have germs. And I don't have a mask. And I don't have anyone to play with. Can't you come inside, please?"
+
+The boy felt sorry and said, "No, I'm sorry. I can't. Maybe another day, when things are better. Bye!"
+
+He waved and rode away on his bike. Sara waved back and said, "Bye!"
+
+She got down from the chair and wandered away from the window. She felt lonely and bored. She wished she had a friend to play with. She wished things were better. She wished Mom was available.
+Ben and Lily were two bunnies who lived in a big field. They liked to hop and play all day long. They had many friends, like the birds, the mice, and the flowers.
+
+One day, they were hopping and playing when they saw a big tree. It had many green leaves and brown branches. Ben and Lily wanted to see what was on the top of the tree.
+
+"Let's hop on the tree and see the sky!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Lily said.
+
+They hopped on the tree, from branch to branch, until they reached the top. They saw the blue sky, the white clouds, and the bright sun. They also saw a big nest with three eggs.
+
+"Look, Lily, there are eggs!" Ben said.
+
+"Wow, they are so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+They wanted to touch the eggs, but they heard a loud squawk. It was the mother bird, who was flying back to her nest. She was angry that the bunnies were near her eggs.
+
+"Go away, go away, you naughty bunnies!" she shouted. "These are my eggs, not yours!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They hopped down the tree as fast as they could. They ran back to their field, where they felt safe and happy.
+
+They were tired from hopping and running. They decided to take a nap under a big flower. They cuddled together and closed their eyes.
+
+But Lily was restless. She could not sleep. She kept thinking about the eggs and the bird.
+
+"Ben, Ben, wake up!" she whispered.
+
+"What is it, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, but I want to see the eggs again. They were so pretty. Maybe the bird is gone now. Can we hop on the tree again?" she asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. He was sleepy and he wanted to nap.
+
+"No, Lily, we can't. The bird will be angry again. And we might fall from the tree. It's too dangerous. Let's just nap and dream of the eggs. They will be safe in the nest. And maybe one day, we will see the baby birds. They will be even prettier than the eggs." he said.
+
+Lily sighed. She knew Ben was right. She snuggled with him and tried to nap. She hoped to see the baby birds someday. She closed her eyes and dreamed of the sky.
+Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. Sometimes they play with toys, sometimes they read books, sometimes they draw pictures. But today they are bored. They want to have some fun.
+
+They look at their bed. They see many pillows on their bed. They have an idea. They grab the pillows and start to throw them at each other. They laugh and scream. They have a pillow fight!
+
+"Take that, Max!" Lily says, as she hits Max with a big, soft pillow.
+
+"Ow, Lily! That's not fair!" Max says, as he dodges another pillow. He picks up a small, hard pillow and throws it back at Lily.
+
+They run around the room, throwing pillows and hiding behind furniture. They have so much fun. They do not see their mom coming in.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing?" Mom says, as she sees the mess in the room. She sees pillows everywhere, on the floor, on the bed, on the dresser, on the window.
+
+Lily and Max stop. They look at mom. They look at each other. They feel a little guilty. They know they made a big mess.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they say together.
+
+Mom smiles. She is not angry. She remembers when she was a kid and had pillow fights with her brother. She knows they were just having fun.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," she says. "But now you have to clean up. And then you can have a snack."
+
+Lily and Max nod. They put the pillows back on the bed. They hug mom. They are happy.
+
+They still like to have pillow fights. But they always clean up afterwards. And they always say sorry to mom.

+
+Timmy saw a little girl who was crying because she lost her toy. Timmy had a toy just like hers, but he didn't want to give it to her. His mom told him that it was important to be kind and share. Timmy thought about it and decided to give the little girl his toy. The little girl was very happy and said, "Thank you, Timmy!"
+
+From that day on, Timmy learned that it's always good to be kind and share with others. He felt happy when he saw the little girl smile. The palace was still beautiful, but Timmy learned that being kind to others was even more important.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to draw and was very creative. One day, she drew a beautiful image of a butterfly. Her mommy saw it and said, "Wow, Lily! You are so talented!" Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy."
+
+Later that day, Lily went outside to gaze at the clouds. She saw a big, fluffy one that looked like a bunny. She ran inside to get her crayons and paper. She wanted to draw the bunny cloud. As she was drawing, she heard thunder. Her mommy said, "Lily, we need to go inside. A storm is coming." 
+
+Lily was sad because she didn't finish her drawing. She left it outside and went inside with her mommy. The storm was very loud and scary. When it was over, they went outside to see the damage. Lily's drawing was ruined. She started to cry. Her mommy hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. We can draw another one." But Lily was still sad because she worked so hard on it. The end.

+

+
+"Fake?" Ben asks. "What do you mean?"
+
+"Well, it was not a real forest," Sara says. "It was just leaves. The leaves are not green anymore. They are brown and yellow and red. They fall from the trees because it is a new season. It is fall."
+
+"Oh, I see," Ben says. "So the leaves are not for playing. They are for raking."

+
+"Thank you. I do not mind that you do not like salt. I like that you are my friend. Do you want to play on the swings?" Leo asked Mia.
+
+Mia and Leo finished their cookies and ran to the swings. They had a lot of fun. They were new friends, but they liked each other a lot. They did not care that they liked different things. They cared that they were happy.
+On Tuesday, Ben and his mom went to the big store. Ben liked the big store. He saw many toys and books and clothes. He wanted to get something new, but his mom said they had to be cheap. Cheap means not spending a lot of money.
+
+Ben saw a red car that he liked. It was shiny and fast. He asked his mom if he could have it. His mom looked at the price tag. It was not cheap. It was very expensive. She shook her head and said no. Ben felt sad. He really wanted the red car.
+
+Then he saw a blue ball. It was bouncy and soft. He asked his mom if he could have it. His mom looked at the price tag. It was cheap. It was only one dollar. She nodded and said yes. Ben felt happy. He liked the blue ball.
+
+He thanked his mom and hugged her. They went to the cashier and paid for the ball. Ben bounced the ball all the way home. He played with it in the yard and in the house. He had fun with his new toy. He was glad his mom was cheap.
+Lily liked to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in her basket. She liked to make things with yarn, like hats and scarves and dolls. She was very good at knitting and crocheting.
+
+One day, she saw a big ball of red yarn in the store. It was very soft and shiny. She wanted to buy it and make something with it. She asked her mom if she could have it.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, but we have enough yarn at home. You don't need more yarn right now. Maybe another time," her mom said.
+
+But Lily did not want to wait. She wanted the red yarn now. She tried to resist her mom and pull the yarn from the shelf. She said, "Please, mom, please, I really want it. It is so pretty and I have an idea for it. Please, please, please!"
+
+Her mom was strong and did not let go of her hand. She said, "No, Lily, no. You are being rude and greedy. You have to listen to me and be a good girl. Put the yarn back and say sorry."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to say sorry. She did not want to put the yarn back. She wanted to have it. She cried and kicked and screamed.
+
+Her mom was very upset and disappointed. She said, "Lily, stop it. You are making a scene and bothering everyone. You are not getting the yarn or anything else. You are going home and having a time out. You have to learn to behave and be grateful for what you have."
+
+She picked up Lily and carried her out of the store. Lily still cried and tried to reach for the yarn, but it was too late. She had lost her chance to get it. She had also made her mom very sad. She wished she had not been so stubborn and selfish. She wished she had been more polite and patient. She wished she had not tried to resist her mom. She learned a hard lesson that day.

+
+But then, Tom saw a big rock on the grass. He had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's play wreck. I will throw my car at the rock and make a big crash. It will be cool."
+
+Lily did not like Tom's idea. She said, "No, Tom, that is stupid. You will break your car. And then you will have no car to play with. And you will be sad."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "No, Lily, you are stupid. You are scared. I am not scared. I will show you how to play wreck." He picked up his car and threw it at the rock as hard as he could.
+
+But Tom made a big mistake. His car did not hit the rock. It missed the rock and hit Lily's car instead. There was a loud noise and both cars broke into pieces. Lily's car was wrecked and so was Tom's car.
+
+Lily started to cry. She said, "Tom, you are mean. You broke my car. You wrecked my car. You ruined our game. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Tom felt bad. He saw the broken cars and the tears on Lily's face. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was stupid. I did not mean to break your car. I did not mean to wreck your car. I did not mean to make you cry. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She was still sad, but she was also kind. She said, "Tom, I forgive you. But you have to be careful next time. And you have to share your toys with me. And you have to say sorry to the cars too."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "OK, Lily, I will. I am sorry, cars. I will not play wreck again. I will play nice." He hugged Lily and they picked up the broken cars. They went inside to find some glue and tape. They tried to fix their cars and play again. They were friends.

+
+But mom only sees water in the case. She does not see the ice star.
+
+"Where is the ice star?" mom asks.
+
+"It melted, mom. It melted fast." Ben says.
+
+Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Ice melts when it is hot. But you can make another ice star. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They smile. They go back to the freezer with the case. They fill it with water and make a new ice star. They hope it will not melt again. They put the case in the freezer and close the door tight.

+Lily liked to climb. She climbed on the sofa, on the chair, on the bed. She climbed on the table, but daddy said no. He said it was not safe. Lily was sad. She wanted to climb higher and higher.
+
+One day, daddy took Lily to the park. There was a big slide there. Lily saw it and smiled. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was very high. She felt happy. She looked down and saw daddy. He waved at her.

+One day, they find a big net in the garage. It is empty and has many holes. They think it is a fun toy. They put some cars inside the net and shake it. The cars bounce and roll and make noise.
+
+"Look, Tim, we have a car net!" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, it is fun, Sam. Let's see how many cars we can fit in the net!" Tim says.
+
+They add more and more cars to the net. The net becomes heavy and full. They try to lift it, but it is too hard. They drop the net on the floor. The cars spill out of the holes.
+
+"Oh no, our cars!" Tim and Sam say.
+
+They run to pick up their cars. But some cars are under the net. They cannot reach them. They pull the net, but it is stuck.
+
+"What can we do, Tim?" Sam asks.
+
+"I have an idea, Sam. Let's reverse the net!" Tim says.
+
+"Reverse the net? What does that mean?" Sam asks.
+
+"It means to turn it around. Like this!" Tim says.
+
+He grabs one end of the net and flips it over. The net is now upside down. The cars that were under the net are now on top of the net. They are easy to get.
+
+"Wow, Tim, you are smart! You reversed the net!" Sam says.

He says, "Look, there is a lion family. The big one is the dad. The smaller ones are the mom and the cubs. They are resting in the shade. Do you see them?"
+
+Lily and Sam nod. They are very excited. They take pictures with their mom's camera. They see the lions yawn and stretch. They hear them roar. They think they are beautiful and strong.
+

+
+"Ben, can you catch a lime for me?" Anna says.
+
+"OK, Anna. I will try." Ben says.
+
+Ben climbs on a chair and reaches for a lime. But the lime is too high. He jumps and jumps, but he cannot catch it. He sees a huge lime on a higher branch. He wants to catch it.

+One day, mom had to go to the doctor. She was not feeling well, and needed to see if she was okay. She asked Tom and Anna to be patient and stay with grandma, who came to watch them. She said she would be back soon, and gave them a hug and a kiss.
+
+But Tom and Anna did not want to stay with grandma. They wanted to go with mom, and see the doctor too. They thought it would be fun, and they did not like to wait. They were naughty and did not listen to grandma. They ran out of the door, and followed mom to the car.
+
+"Tom, Anna, come back!" grandma shouted. "You have to stay here, it is not safe to run in the street!"
+
+But Tom and Anna did not hear her. They were too busy chasing mom. They ran across the street, and did not look for cars. They were lucky that no cars were coming, or they could have been hurt.
+
+They reached mom's car, and tried to open the door. But it was locked, and mom had the key. They banged on the window, and called for mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, let us in!" they cried. "We want to go with you!"

+Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind. It was blowing very hard and making the trees bend and the leaves fly. Sara and Ben looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. They were scared.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asked.
+
+"It is a hurricane," Ben said. He had heard that word on the TV. "It is a big storm that can break things and make a mess."
+
+Sara and Ben ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged them and told them not to worry.
+
+"We are safe inside the house," she said. "The hurricane will go away soon. We just have to wait and be calm."
+
+She gave them some cookies and milk and took them to the basement. There, they had some toys and books and a flashlight. They played and read and sang songs until the noise outside stopped.
+
+When the hurricane was over, Sara and Ben went back to the living room. They saw that their blocks were all over the floor. The wind had blown through the window and scattered them everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, our blocks!" Sara cried.
+
+"It's okay, we can pick them up," Ben said. He was a persistent boy. He did not give up easily.
+
+They worked together and put the blocks back in their box. They were proud of themselves. They had survived the hurricane and cleaned up their mess. They hugged each other and smiled.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big jar on the grass. It had a lid and some holes. They opened the jar and looked inside.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Mia said. She pointed at some small things that moved and glowed. They were green and yellow and blue. They looked like stars.
+
+"What are they?" Tom asked. He touched one with his finger. It felt soft and wet.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are cells. Mom said cells are very small and make up everything. Maybe these are special cells that glow," Mia said.
+
+"Can we keep them?" Tom asked. He liked the glowing cells. They made him happy.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom first. She might know more about them," Mia said.
+
+They put the lid back on the jar and carried it to the house. They wanted to show Mom their new friends. They hoped she would let them keep them.
+
+But when they got to the house, they saw a man in a white coat. He had a badge and a big bag. He looked angry and scared.
+
+"Hey, kids, where did you get that jar?" he asked. He grabbed the jar from them and opened it. He looked at the glowing cells and gasped.
+
+"These are dangerous! They are not cells, they are germs! They can make people sick! How did you find them?" he asked.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They did not know the man or the word germs. They did not know they did something bad. They just wanted to play.
+
+"We found them in the yard. They were in the jar. We thought they were cells. They glowed and they were pretty," Mia said.
+
+The man shook his head. He put the jar in his bag and closed it. He looked at Tom and Mia and sighed.
+
+"Listen, kids, you are lucky. These germs are from a lab. They escaped and someone left them in the jar. They are not for playing. They are for studying. They can hurt you and others. You have to wash your hands and stay away from them. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They did not understand everything, but they understood they had to be careful. They felt sad and sorry. They liked the glowing germs. They did not want to hurt them or anyone.
+
+The man left with the jar and the bag. He said he would tell Mom what happened. He said he was sorry too.
+
+Tom and Mia went to their room. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they never found the jar. They wished they never saw the glowing germs. They wished they were just cells.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and run in the park. But they do not like to eat broccoli. Broccoli is green and hard and smells funny.
+
+One day, Mom makes broccoli for dinner. She puts it on their plates with some cheese and rice. She says, "Eat your broccoli, Anna and Ben. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Anna and Ben make faces. They do not want to eat their broccoli. They push it away with their forks. They say, "No, Mom. We do not like broccoli. It is yucky. Can we have something else?"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot have something else. You have to eat your broccoli. It is not yucky. It is yummy. Try it. You might like it."
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not want to make Mom sad. They love Mom. They decide to try their broccoli. They take a small bite. They chew it slowly. They are surprised. It is not so bad. It is a little sweet and a little crunchy. The cheese makes it soft and melty.
+
+They take another bite. And another. And another. Soon, they finish their broccoli. They smile at Mom. They say, "Mom, you were right. Broccoli is yummy. Can we have some more?"
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "Yes, you can have some more. I am proud of you, Anna and Ben. You ate your broccoli. You yielded to me. You are good children."
+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love broccoli."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Science Show". They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They went into the tent and saw many things. They saw rocks, plants, animals and machines. They also saw a big skeleton of a dinosaur. It was very tall and had many bones. Tom and Lily were amazed.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It is a dinosaur skeleton. It is very old and strong."
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But it is also very scary. It has big teeth and claws. I wonder if it could eat us."
+
+Tom and Lily walked closer to the skeleton. They wanted to touch it and see how it felt. They reached out their hands and leaned on the skeleton. But the skeleton was not very stable. It wobbled and shook. Tom and Lily were scared.
+
+"Uh-oh, we made it move!" Tom said. "We have to run away!"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lily said. "Let's go!"
+
+Tom and Lily ran out of the tent. They bumped into a man who was wearing a white coat and glasses. He was holding a clear bottle with a green liquid inside. He was the science teacher who was doing the show.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asked. "Did you enjoy the show?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They were sorry for making the skeleton move. They hoped they did not break it.
+
+"We are sorry, mister," Tom said. "We just wanted to see the dinosaur skeleton. But we leaned on it and it moved. We did not mean to do that."
+
+The science teacher smiled. He was not angry. He was glad that Tom and Lily were curious and interested in science.
+
+"That's okay, kids," he said. "The dinosaur skeleton is not real. It is made of plastic and metal. It can move and make sounds. It is part of the show. I can show you how it works if you want."
+
+Tom and Lily were relieved. They were not in trouble. They were also curious. They wanted to see how the skeleton worked.
+
+"Really?" they asked. "Can you show us?"
+
+"Sure," the science teacher said. "Come with me. I will show you the skeleton and other things. You will learn a lot and have fun."
+
+Tom and Lily followed the science teacher. They went back into the tent. They saw the skeleton and other things. They learned a lot and had fun. They liked science.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make tunnels and caves. They pretended they were underground animals, like moles and rabbits.
+
+One day, they found something different in the sand. It was shiny and round and had strange marks on it. Lila picked it up and rubbed it with her hand. She wanted to see what it was.
+
+"Look, Ben, look what I found!" she said, holding it up.
+
+Ben came closer and looked at it. He wiped his face with his sleeve. He was sweaty from digging.
+
+"What is it?" he asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a coin. Maybe it's very old and very special. Maybe someone lost it a long time ago," Lila said.
+
+"Can I see it?" Ben said.
+
+Lila nodded and gave it to him. He turned it over and over in his hand. He liked how it felt and how it sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Maybe we can keep it. Maybe we can buy something with it. Maybe we can buy ice cream or candy or toys," he said.
+
+Lila smiled. She liked ice cream and candy and toys. She liked Ben. He was her best friend.
+
+"OK, let's keep it. But we have to hide it. We don't want anyone else to find it. It's ours," she said.
+
+They dug a small hole in the sand and buried the coin. They covered it with more sand and put a stick on top. They looked around and saw no one was watching.
+
+They smiled at each other and ran to the swings. They were happy. They had a secret. They had something different. They had something underground.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the cows and run with the dogs. But their favorite animal was the goat. The goat was tough and smart and could jump very high.
+
+One day, the goat was sad. He had lost his mate, who had gone away with the farmer. He did not want to eat or play. He just stayed in his pen and made sad noises. Lila and Ben wanted to help him. They had an idea.
+
+They went to the other side of the farm, where there were more goats. They looked for a goat who was lonely too. They found one who had no friends. She was shy and scared of the other goats. Lila and Ben talked to her.
+
+"Hello, goat. We are Lila and Ben. We are friends with the goat in the other pen. He is sad because he lost his mate. Do you want to meet him? Maybe you can be friends too."
+
+The shy goat looked at them with big eyes. She nodded slowly. Lila and Ben smiled. They took her by the horns and led her to the other pen. They opened the gate and let her in. The sad goat saw her and perked up. He sniffed her and bleated. She sniffed him back and bleated too. They rubbed their heads and trotted around. They looked happy.
+
+Lila and Ben clapped their hands. They had united the two goats. They hugged each other and the goats. They said, "We are so glad you are happy, goats. You are tough and smart and can jump very high. You are our favorite animals. We love you, goats." The goats bleated and licked their faces. They loved them too.
+Tom and Ann like to play with their toy automobiles. They have many colors and shapes of automobiles. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor.
+
+One day, they find a big gray automobile in the garage. It is their dad's automobile. It looks shiny and new. They want to play with it.
+
+"Let's go inside the automobile," Tom says. He opens the door and climbs in. Ann follows him. They sit on the seats and touch the buttons and the wheel.
+
+"Beep beep!" Tom says. He turns the key and the automobile makes a loud noise. He moves the wheel and the automobile starts to move.
+
+"Stop!" Ann says. She is scared. The automobile is going too fast. She sees the wall in front of them. She grabs Tom's arm and pulls him.
+
+"Stop!" Tom says. He tries to push the brake, but he is too small. The automobile hits the wall with a big crash. The noise is very loud. The door opens and their dad runs in.
+
+"What are you doing?" he says. He is angry and worried. He takes them out of the automobile and hugs them. "Are you okay?"
+
+Tom and Ann are sorry. They did not mean to break the automobile. They say sorry to their dad. They promise to never play with the big gray automobile again. They only play with their toy automobiles. They are more fun and safe.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers and trees. One day, they saw a little bug with many legs and a long tail. It was red and shiny and crawled on a leaf.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bug!" Lila said. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Careful, Lila, it might pinch you!" Ben said. He had heard that some bugs could pinch with their tails.
+
+Lila did not listen. She reached out her hand and tried to grab the bug. But the bug was fast and moved away. It ran down the leaf and onto the path. Lila followed it.
+
+"Come back, bug, I want to see you!" Lila said. She ran after the bug on the path. She did not see the big rock in front of her.
+
+Ben saw the rock and shouted. "Lila, stop, there is a rock!"
+
+But it was too late. Lila tripped over the rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and cried. The bug ran away and hid under a stone.
+
+Ben ran to Lila and helped her up. He hugged her and said. "I'm sorry, Lila, are you okay?"
+
+Lila sniffed and nodded. She looked at her knee and saw a little blood. She felt a little pain.
+
+"It's okay, Ben, it's just a little scratch," Lila said. "But the bug pinched me!"
+
+Ben looked at her hand and saw a little mark. He said. "That was a mean bug. Let's go inside and get a band-aid."
+
+Lila agreed. She held Ben's hand and they walked back to the house. They decided to play with their toys instead of chasing bugs. They learned that some bugs could pinch and some rocks could trip. They also learned to be careful and to help each other.
+Lily was a brave cat. She liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, she saw a big tree in the garden. She wanted to climb it and see what was up there.
+
+She jumped on the tree and used her paws to hold on. She went higher and higher, until she reached a branch. She looked around and saw many birds and squirrels. She also saw a big hole in the tree. She was curious and went inside.
+
+But when she entered the hole, she heard a loud roar. It was a bear! The bear was angry and wanted to eat Lily. He showed his big teeth and claws and tried to catch her.
+
+Lily was scared, but she was also brave. She did not want to be the bear's lunch. She used her paws to scratch the bear's nose and make him hurt. She also used her voice to make a loud meow and call for help.
+
+Her meow increased and increased, until it reached the ears of her friend, Max. Max was a dog who lived next door. He heard Lily's meow and ran to the tree. He saw the bear and barked at him. He also used his paws to bite the bear's tail and make him run away.
+
+Lily was happy and grateful. She came out of the hole and jumped on Max's back. She licked his ear and said, "Thank you, Max. You are a brave and good friend. You saved me from the bear."
+
+Max wagged his tail and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a brave and good friend too. You fought the bear with your paws. You are a smart cat."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They were both brave and happy. They went back to their homes and told their stories to their families. They were proud of themselves and each other. They were the best friends ever.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara had a big pot and Ben had a wooden spoon. They put some water, salt, and carrots in the pot and stirred it.
+
+"Look, we are making soup!" Sara said. "It smells good!"
+
+Ben nodded. He saw a fork on the table and picked it up. He wanted to use it to taste the soup. He put the fork in the pot and scooped up some water and a carrot.
+
+"Careful, Ben, it's hot!" Sara warned.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He put the fork in his mouth and burned his tongue. He spit out the water and the carrot and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed.
+
+Sara felt sorry for Ben. She ran to the fridge and got some ice. She gave it to Ben and hugged him.
+
+"Here, this will make it better," she said. "I'm sorry you got hurt."
+
+Ben stopped crying and sucked on the ice. He smiled at Sara and thanked her.
+
+"You're a good sister," he said.
+
+Just then, Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the mess on the stove and the table and frowned.
+
+"What are you two doing?" she asked.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other and giggled.
+
+"We were making soup, Mom!" Sara said.
+
+Mom shook her head and smiled. She was not angry. She was jolly.
+
+"Well, that's very creative of you," she said. "But next time, please ask me first. And be careful with the fork. It's not a toy."
+
+She helped them clean up the kitchen and gave them some real soup and crackers for lunch.
+
+They ate their soup with spoons and said it was delicious.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the landscape. The landscape had green grass, blue sky, yellow flowers and white clouds. Sometimes they saw birds, bugs and animals too.
+
+One day, they decided to go on an adventure. They took their loyal dog, Spot, with them. Spot was big and brown and liked to bark and run. They walked along the path until they came to a hill. They climbed the hill and saw a big lake. It was shiny and wet and had ducks and fish in it.
+
+"Wow, look at the lake!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom agreed. "Can we go closer?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't fall in the water!" Lily warned.
+
+They ran down the hill with Spot following them. They reached the edge of the lake and threw some bread for the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. Spot barked and wagged his tail. Tom and Lily smiled and laughed. They were having so much fun!
+
+They played by the lake for a long time. They made boats out of sticks and leaves and watched them float. They found some rocks and skipped them on the water. They splashed their feet and hands and made waves. They sang songs and told stories.
+
+They were happy and they loved each other. They loved the landscape and they loved Spot. They thanked the lake for being so nice and said goodbye to the ducks. They held hands and walked back to their home. They had a wonderful adventure and they would always remember it.
+Lily and Ben love to get mail. They always run to the door when they hear the mailman. Sometimes they get cards or stickers or books from their grandma. Sometimes they get nothing.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben hear the mailman. They run to the door and see a big box. It has their names on it. They are very excite. They open the box and find a lot of toys. There are cars and dolls and puzzles and balls. They scream with joy and start to play.
+
+But then they see a note in the box. It says: "Dear Lily and Ben, these toys are for you to share. Please be nice to each other and take turns. Love, Grandma."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They both want the same toys. They start to fight. They pull and push and yell. They are very angry.
+
+"Stop it!" their mom says. She comes to the door and sees the mess. She is not happy. She picks up the note and reads it. "Lily and Ben, you have to share. Grandma sent you these toys because she loves you. You should love each other too. Say sorry and hug."
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They say sorry and hug. They decide to share the toys. They play nicely and have fun. They are not angry anymore. They are happy. They write a thank you card to Grandma and put it in the mail. They hope she will get it soon. They love Grandma. They love mail.
+Lila and Ben were having lunch with Mom. They liked to eat jelly on bread. Mom gave them each a slice of bread and a jar of jelly. Lila opened the jar and took a big spoon of jelly. She put it on her bread and smiled.
+
+"Can I have some jelly, please?" Ben asked. He reached for the jar, but Lila pulled it away.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lila said. "You have to wait your turn."
+
+"But I'm hungry!" Ben said. He tried to grab the jar, but Lila held it tight.
+
+They both pulled and pulled on the jar. The jar was not fit for two. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The jelly spilled everywhere. Mom heard the noise and came to see.
+
+"Oh, no!" Mom said. "What a mess! You two need to share and be nice. Now we have to clean up and get more jelly."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They helped Mom wipe the floor and the table. Then Mom gave them each a new slice of bread and a new jar of jelly.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Lila and Ben said. They opened their jars and took a little spoon of jelly. They put it on their bread and shared. They ate their lunch and smiled.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben see a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog runs to them. He wags his tail. He wants to play too.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. He does not say his name. He chases the ball. He catches the ball in his mouth. He brings the ball back to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Wow, you are good at this!" Ben says. "You like exercise, don't you?"
+
+The dog barks again. He likes exercise. He likes Lily and Ben. He wants to be their friend.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the dog for a long time. They throw the ball. They run. They laugh.
+
+The dog is loyal. He does not leave them. He stays with them. He protects them. He loves them.
+
+Lily and Ben love the dog too. They want to keep him. They ask their moms and dads. Their moms and dads say yes. They are happy.
+
+They pay for the dog's food and toys. They take care of the dog. They give him a name. They call him Spot. Spot is happy too. He has a home. He has a family. He has friends. He is loyal.
+Tim and Mia went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and elephants. They were very happy and excited. But when they came to the rhinoceros, they saw that he was very gloomy. He did not move or play. He just lay on the ground and looked sad.
+
+"Why is he so gloomy, mom?" Tim asked.
+
+"Maybe he misses his friends, or his home, or his food," mom said.
+
+"Can we make him happy, mom?" Mia asked.
+
+"Maybe we can try to say hello to him, and tell him something nice," mom said.
+
+So Tim and Mia went closer to the rhinoceros, and said in a loud voice, "Hello, rhinoceros! You are very big and strong and brave! We like you very much! Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The rhinoceros heard them, and lifted his head. He looked at them with his big eyes, and made a soft noise. He seemed to smile a little.
+
+"Did he say hello back, mom?" Tim asked.
+
+"I think he did, Tim. I think he likes you too," mom said.
+
+Tim and Mia were very happy. They waved to the rhinoceros, and said, "Bye, rhinoceros! We hope you have a good day! We will come back to see you soon!"
+
+The rhinoceros waved his horn, and made another noise. He seemed to be less gloomy.
+
+Tim and Mia ran to the next animal, and mom followed them. They had a lot of fun at the zoo.
+Sara and Ben like to play on the swings. They push each other and go high in the air. They feel the wind on their faces and laugh.
+
+One day, Sara has a new idea. She says to Ben, "Let's twist on the swings. It will be fun."
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, how do we twist?"
+
+Sara shows him. She holds the ropes of the swing and turns her body. The ropes get tight and twisty. Then she lets go and the swing spins around. She says, "Whee!"
+
+Ben tries to do the same. He holds the ropes and turns his body. But he turns too much and the ropes get too tight. He lets go and the swing spins too fast. He feels dizzy and scared. He says, "Help!"
+
+Sara sees Ben and stops her swing. She runs to him and holds his hand. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. I'm here. The swing will stop soon. You'll be OK."
+
+Ben feels better and hugs Sara. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You're a good friend. But I don't want to twist on the swings anymore. It's too hard."
+
+Sara smiles and says, "That's OK, Ben. We can do something else. How about we slide on the slide?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, let's slide on the slide. That's easy and fun."
+
+They walk to the slide and take turns sliding down. They giggle and enjoy the sun. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they hate to go to the doctor. The doctor is scary and makes them cry.
+
+One day, Mom says they have to go to the doctor for a check-up. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to go. They hide under the bed and say no.
+
+Mom finds them and says, "Come on, Sara and Ben. It will not be so bad. The doctor is nice and will give you a sticker and a lollipop. And you can bring your favorite teddy bears."
+
+Sara and Ben are still scared, but they love stickers and lollipops. And they love their teddy bears. They hold them tight and follow Mom to the car.
+
+At the doctor's office, they wait in a big room with other kids. Some of them are crying. Sara and Ben hug their teddy bears and look at the books and toys. They see a funny clown who makes balloons and jokes. He makes them laugh and forget their fear.
+
+When it is their turn, the doctor calls their names. Sara and Ben walk with Mom and the clown to a small room. The doctor smiles and says hello. He looks at their ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. He listens to their heart and lungs. He says they are healthy and strong.
+
+Then he says, "Now I need to give you a little shot. It will help you stay well and not get sick. It will only hurt for a second. Can you be brave for me?"
+
+Sara and Ben are scared again. They do not like shots. They say no and try to run away. But Mom and the clown hold them and say, "It's okay, Sara and Ben. We are here with you. You can do it. Look at your teddy bears. They are brave too."
+
+The doctor gives them each a quick shot in their arm. Sara and Ben cry and say ouch. But it is over soon. The doctor puts a band-aid on their arm and says, "You did great, Sara and Ben. You are very brave. Here is your sticker and your lollipop. And you can keep the balloon from the clown."
+
+Sara and Ben stop crying and look at their gifts. They smile and say thank you. They still hate shots, but they like the doctor and the clown. They are proud of themselves and their teddy bears. They say bye and go back to the car with Mom.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I'm so proud of you, Sara and Ben. You were very brave and good. Now let's go home and have some fun. How about we watch your favorite cartoon and have some ice cream?"
+
+Sara and Ben say yes and cheer. They love cartoons and ice cream. They forget about the shot and the pain. They are happy and glad. They say, "We love you, Mom. You are the best."
+Tim and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, Tim, I made a big house with a roof and a door and a window!" Lily said, showing her creation to her brother.
+
+"That's nice, Lily, but I made a bigger tower with more blocks!" Tim said, pointing to his tall stack of blocks. "It's the tallest tower ever!"
+
+Tim and Lily were both proud of their blocks, but they did not see their cat, Max, sneaking behind them. Max was bored and curious. He wanted to play with the blocks too. He jumped on the couch and then leaped towards Tim's tower.
+
+"Meow!" Max cried as he landed on the tower and destroyed it. The blocks fell down with a loud noise and scattered all over the floor.
+
+"Max, no!" Tim shouted, angry and sad. He loved his tower and now it was gone. He tried to chase Max away, but he was clumsy and tripped over a block. He hurt his toe and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim sobbed, holding his toe.
+
+Lily heard Tim's cry and ran to him. She saw his toe was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim, Max is a bad cat. He destroyed your tower and hurt your toe. Do you want me to get you a band-aid and a kiss?" Lily asked, trying to make him feel better.
+
+Tim nodded and sniffed. He was still upset, but he liked Lily's hug and kiss. He smiled a little and said, "Thank you, Lily, you are a good sister. Maybe we can build another tower together later."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "Yes, Tim, we can. But first, let's put away the blocks so Max can't destroy them again."
+
+Tim and Lily agreed and started to pick up the blocks. They hoped Max would learn to be nice and not destroy their blocks anymore.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today, they are bored. They want to do something new.
+
+They hear a loud sound from the hall. It is the laundry machine. It is noisy. It makes water and soap and bubbles. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the laundry machine.
+
+They sneak out of their room. They go to the hall. They see the laundry machine. It is big and white. It has a round door. It spins and shakes. Lily and Ben think it is funny. They laugh and clap.
+
+"Look, Ben, the laundry machine is dancing!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, it is dancing. Can we dance too?" Ben says.
+
+They start to dance. They jump and twirl and spin. They are happy. They do not see their mom coming.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing here?" Mom says. She is surprised. She is holding a basket of clothes.
+
+"Hi, Mom, we are dancing with the laundry machine!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles. She is not angry. She is amused.
+
+"That's nice, but you should not be here. The laundry machine is noisy and hot. It can hurt you. Come with me. I have a better idea." Mom says.
+
+She takes Lily and Ben to the living room. She puts the basket of clothes on the couch. She shows them how to fold and sort the clothes. She tells them the names and colors of the clothes. She makes it a game.
+
+Lily and Ben like the game. They help Mom with the laundry. They learn new words. They are proud. They are not bored anymore. They are having fun.
+Tommy loved to play with water. He liked to splash and soak his toys in the bathtub. He also liked to fill a big bowl with water and put his rubber duck in it. He pretended the bowl was a pond and the duck was swimming.
+
+One day, he took his bowl and duck to the living room. He put them on the floor and said, "Quack, quack, duck. You are happy in the water." He smiled and watched the duck bob up and down.
+
+But then, he heard his mom say, "Tommy, what are you doing? You are making a mess!" She saw the water spilling from the bowl and wetting the carpet. She was not happy. She picked up the bowl and the duck and took them to the kitchen. She said, "Water belongs in the bathtub or the sink, not on the floor. You need to be careful with water, Tommy."
+
+Tommy felt sad. He did not mean to make a mess. He just wanted to play with his duck. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I like water. Water is fun."
+
+Mom saw that Tommy was sorry. She gave him a hug and said, "I know, water is fun. But you have to be safe and clean with water, too. How about we go to the bathtub and play with your duck there? You can soak him as much as you want."
+
+Tommy felt cheerful again. He said, "Yes, mom. Let's go to the bathtub. Quack, quack, duck. You are happy in the water." He took his duck and followed his mom to the bathroom. He was ready to splash and soak some more.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play together. But one day, Tom is sick. He has a fever. His mom puts a thermometer in his mouth. It shows a high number.
+
+"Tom, you cannot play today. You need to rest and drink water. You will get healthy soon," his mom says.
+
+Lila is sad. She misses Tom. She wants to play with him. She has an idea. She takes her toy car and her doll. She puts the doll in the car. She says, "We are going to travel to Tom's house. We will make him happy."
+
+She pushes the car on the sidewalk. She goes to Tom's house. She knocks on the door. Tom's mom opens the door. She sees Lila and her car and her doll.
+
+"Hello, Lila. What a nice surprise. Do you want to see Tom?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, please. I brought him a gift. It is my doll. She is healthy. She can keep him company," Lila says.
+
+Tom's mom smiles. She lets Lila in. She takes her to Tom's room. Tom is lying on his bed. He looks tired. He sees Lila and her car and her doll.
+
+"Hi, Lila. You came to visit me. Thank you. What is that?" he asks.
+
+"It is my doll. Her name is Mia. She is healthy. She can play with you. She can make you feel better," Lila says.
+
+She gives him the doll. He hugs the doll. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. I like Mia. She is cute. I hope I get healthy soon. Then we can play together again."
+
+Lila nods. She says, "You will get healthy soon. I will come back tomorrow. We can play with Mia and my car. We can travel to many places."
+
+They talk for a while. They laugh. They have fun. Tom's mom watches them. She is happy. She thinks, "Lila is a good friend. She made Tom happy. She is a good traveler. She brought a healthy doll."
+Tom and Mia liked to read books. They had many books with pictures and stories. They read about animals, cars, space, and more. Sometimes they read together, and sometimes they read alone.
+
+One day, Tom found a book he had never seen before. It was a big book with a red cover and a picture of a missile. A missile was a thing that flew very fast and made a loud boom. Tom wanted to read the book, but it had many hard words. He asked Mia to help him.
+
+"Mia, can you read this book with me? It has a missile on it. I want to know what it says."
+
+Mia looked at the book. She saw the enormous missile and the hard words. She did not know what they meant. She shook her head.
+
+"Tom, this book is too hard for us. We are too little to read it. It is for big people who know about missiles. Maybe we can ask Mom or Dad to read it to us later."
+
+Tom was sad. He wanted to read the book now. He liked missiles. He thought they were cool and exciting. He did not want to wait.
+
+"But Mia, I want to read it now. Please, please, please. Can you try to read it with me? Maybe we can guess some of the words. Please, Mia, please."
+
+Mia sighed. She saw that Tom really wanted to read the book. She was a good sister. She wanted to make Tom happy. She decided to try to read the book with him.
+
+"Okay, Tom, okay. I will try to read it with you. But we have to be careful. This book is not for us. It might have scary things or bad things in it. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was happy. He hugged Mia and thanked her. He opened the book and pointed to the first word.
+
+"Mia, what is this word? It looks like a name. Can you say it?"
+
+Mia looked at the word. It was a long word with many letters. She did not know how to say it. She tried to sound it out.
+
+"Um, it looks like... Ni... Ni... Nee... Nee... Nee-koh-lah. Nee-koh-lah. Is that right?"
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not know either. He thought it was a funny name. He repeated it.
+
+"Nee-koh-lah. Nee-koh-lah. Who is Nee-koh-lah? Is he the one who has the missile?"
+
+Mia turned the page. She saw another picture of the missile. It was bigger and brighter than the first one. It had a flame behind it and a star on it. She also saw another word. It was a short word with two letters. She knew how to say it.
+
+"Look, Tom, look. There is another word. It says 'no'. No. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Tom nodded. He knew what 'no' meant. It meant 'do not' or 'stop' or 'bad'. He used it a lot when he did not want to do something or when he was angry.
+
+"Yes, Mia, I know what 'no' means. It means 'no'. But why does it say 'no' here? Is it saying 'no' to the missile? Is the missile bad?"
+
+Mia shrugged. She did not know either. She thought it was strange. She wondered what the book was about. She wanted to know more.
+
+"Maybe, Tom, maybe. Maybe the book is saying 'no' to the missile because the missile is bad. Maybe the missile can hurt people or break things. Maybe Nee-koh-lah is the one who made the missile or wants to use the missile. Maybe we should read more and find out."
+
+Tom agreed. He was curious. He wanted to know more. He turned the page and saw another picture. It was a picture of a big city with many buildings and cars and people. He also saw another word. It was a long word with many letters. He did not know how to say it.
+
+"Mia, what is this word? It looks like another name. Can you say it?"
+
+Mia looked at the word. It was a long word with many letters. She did not know how to say it. She tried to sound it out.
+
+"Um, it looks like... Ha... Ha... Wah... Wah... Nee... Nee... Ha-wah-nee. Ha-wah-nee. Is that right?"
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not know either. He thought it was another funny name. He repeated it.
+
+"Ha-wah-nee. Ha-wah-nee. Who is Ha-wah-nee? Is he the one who lives in the city?"
+
+Mia turned the page. She
+Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They see who can make the highest tower or the longest bridge or the prettiest castle.
+
+One day, they find a new block. It is round and shiny and has a pointy tip. Sara and Ben wonder what it is. They try to put it on their towers and bridges and castles, but it does not fit. It rolls off and falls down.
+
+"Maybe it is a top," Sara says. "My grandma has a top. She spins it and it makes a noise."
+
+"How do you spin it?" Ben asks.
+
+"Like this," Sara says. She holds the block by the tip and twists it hard. She lets go and the block spins on the floor. It makes a humming sound and a bright light. Sara and Ben clap and laugh.
+
+"Wow, that is a cool top!" Ben says. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure," Sara says. She gives the block to Ben. Ben holds it by the tip and twists it hard. He lets go and the block spins on the floor. It makes a humming sound and a bright light. Sara and Ben clap and laugh.
+
+They take turns spinning the top. They have fun watching it spin and light up. They try to balance it on different things, like a book, a chair, a pillow. Sometimes it stays, sometimes it falls.
+
+They decide to try to balance it on the table. They think it will look nice there. Sara holds the block by the tip and twists it hard. She lets go and the block spins on the table. It makes a humming sound and a bright light. Sara and Ben clap and laugh.
+
+But then, the block spins too fast. It wobbles and shakes. It moves to the edge of the table. Sara and Ben are fearful. They do not want the block to fall and break.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Sara says.
+
+"Grab it, grab it!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the table and try to catch the block. But they are too late. The block falls off the table and hits the floor. It makes a loud noise and a big flash. Sara and Ben cover their eyes and ears.
+
+When they open their eyes and ears, they see the block on the floor. It is not round and shiny and pointy anymore. It is broken and dull and flat. Sara and Ben are sad. They liked the block. They liked to spin it and balance it and watch it light up.
+
+They look at each other and say, "Sorry, block."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. Lily saw a big pot with green leaves. She asked Ben, "What is this?"
+
+Ben said, "That is herb. Mommy uses it to make food yummy. She says it is good for us."
+
+Lily wanted to try some. She pulled a leaf and put it in her mouth. It was bitter and spicy. She spit it out and made a face. "Yuck! I don't like herb!"
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "You are silly, Lily. Herb is not for eating. It is for cooking."
+
+Lily felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. Did I break the herb?"
+
+Ben looked at the pot. He saw some leaves were missing and some were torn. He said, "Yes, you did. Mommy will be mad. She will worry that the herb is sick."
+
+Lily started to cry. She said, "I don't want Mommy to be mad. I don't want the herb to be sick. What can we do?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe we can fix it. We can put some water on the herb. We can say sorry to the herb. We can tell Mommy what we did and ask her to help us."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Ben. Let's do that. Maybe Mommy will not be mad. Maybe the herb will be happy."
+
+They got a bucket and filled it with water. They poured some water on the herb. They said sorry to the herb. They hugged each other and went to find Mommy. They hoped she would understand. They hoped the herb would grow back. They learned not to eat herb. They learned to be careful with plants.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the mall with Mom. The mall has many shops and toys and people. Sara and Ben like to look at everything.
+
+One day, they see a big stage in the mall. There are many dancers on the stage. They wear colorful clothes and make funny sounds. Sara and Ben want to dance too. They run to the stage and join the dancers. They jump and spin and clap. They have fun.
+
+Mom sees Sara and Ben on the stage. She is not happy. She runs to the stage and takes them down. She says, "Sara and Ben, you are very naughty. You cannot dance on the stage. You make a big mess. You bother the dancers. You have to say sorry."
+
+Sara and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to the dancers and to Mom. They hug Mom and promise to be good. Mom says, "I love you, Sara and Ben. But next time, you have to ask before you dance on the stage. OK?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We love you too." They hold Mom's hand and walk to the car. They still like to dance, but they will wait for the right time and place.
+Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship and a map that showed them where to find treasure. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot.
+
+They followed the map to a big tree. The map said the treasure was under the tree. Tom and Lily dug with their hands and found a shiny metal box. They opened it and saw lots of coins and jewels. They were very happy and shouted "We found the treasure!"
+
+But then they heard a loud growl. It was Rex, the dog from next door. He had jumped over the fence and saw the shiny box. He wanted it for himself. He ran towards Tom and Lily and barked. He was very angry and scary.
+
+Tom and Lily were afraid of Rex. They dropped the box and ran back to their ship. Rex grabbed the box with his teeth and shook it. The coins and jewels fell out and rolled all over the ground. Rex liked the sound and the sparkle. He thought it was a fun game.
+
+Tom and Lily watched from their ship. They were sad and angry. They had worked hard to find the treasure and Rex had taken it. They wished they had a sword or a cannon to fight him. But they only had sticks and stones. They did not know what to do. They said to each other "How can we get our treasure back?"
+Ben and Mia like to play outside. They have a big sandbox and many toys. They make castles and roads and bridges with the sand. They are polite and share their toys.
+
+One day, a storm comes. The sky is dark and loud. The wind is strong and cold. Ben and Mia hear their mom call them. "Come inside, kids! It is not safe to play outside now!"
+
+Ben and Mia grab their toys and run to the house. But Mia drops her favorite doll. The doll is pink and soft and has a smile. Mia loves her doll. She does not want to leave her in the storm.
+
+"Wait, Ben! I need my doll!" Mia says. She turns back to get her doll.
+
+"No, Mia! It is too dangerous!" Ben says. He sees a big branch fall from a tree. He is scared for his sister.
+
+Ben runs after Mia. He reaches the sandbox. He sees the doll on the ground. He lifts the doll and gives it to Mia. "Here, Mia! Take your doll! We have to go!"
+
+Mia hugs her doll and smiles. "Thank you, Ben! You are a good brother!" She says.
+
+Ben and Mia hold hands and run to the house. They are wet and cold, but they are happy. They are safe with their mom and their toys. They watch the storm from the window. They hope the storm will go away soon. They want to play outside again.
+Tom and Lily were playing in their home. They liked to make noise and have fun. They had many toys and books and games. They did not like to be quiet or bored.
+
+One day, their mom said, "I have to work on my computer. Please do not disturb me. You can play in your room or in the living room, but be nice and calm."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom." But they did not really listen. They wanted to play loud and wild. They went to the living room and found a big box. They decided to make a fort with the box and some blankets and pillows.
+
+They cut a hole in the box and crawled inside. They pretended they were in a scary cave with monsters and bats. They made scary noises and faces. They laughed and screamed and threw pillows.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She was not happy. She saw the mess and the box and the blankets. She said, "What are you doing? You are disturbing me and making a mess. This is not how you play in the home. You have to clean up and be quiet."
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not want to make their mom angry or sad. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were just having fun. We did not mean to disturb you. We will clean up and be quiet."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I know you like to have fun, but you also have to respect the home and the rules. Next time, you can play in the backyard or in the park, where you can be loud and wild. But in the home, you have to be nice and calm."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We understand. We love you and the home." They hugged their mom and helped her clean up. They learned to play in the home without disturbing anyone.
+Lila wanted to fly like a hero. She saw heroes on TV and in books. They had capes and masks and could fly in the sky. They helped people and animals and stopped bad guys. Lila wished she had a cape and a mask too.
+
+One day, she found a red towel and a blue bandana in her closet. She tied the towel around her neck and the bandana over her eyes. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She was a hero! She ran to the backyard and climbed on the swing. She pushed herself higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was flying!
+
+"Look at me, Mommy! I'm a hero!" she shouted.
+
+Mommy came out and saw Lila on the swing. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"You are a hero, Lila! You are so brave and strong!" she said.
+
+Lila felt happy and proud. She jumped off the swing and ran to Mommy. She hugged her and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy! You are my hero too!" she said.
+
+Mommy hugged her back and kissed her forehead.
+
+"I love you, Lila. You are my hero too!" she said.
+
+They went inside and had a snack. Lila ate a banana and Mommy ate a sandwich. Lila saw something on Mommy's plate. It was green and slimy and had legs. It was a frog!
+
+"Mommy, what is that?" she asked, pointing at the frog.
+
+Mommy looked at her plate and screamed. She dropped the sandwich and the frog. The frog hopped away.
+
+"That is a frog, Lila. A disgusting frog! How did it get in my sandwich?" she asked.
+
+Lila giggled. She knew how. She had put the frog in Mommy's sandwich as a joke. She thought it was funny.
+
+"Surprise, Mommy! I did it! It was a joke!" she said.
+
+Mommy looked at Lila and frowned. She was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"Lila, that was not a nice joke. That was a mean joke. You scared me and made me drop my food. You made a mess and hurt the frog. That was not funny. That was disgusting!" she said.
+
+Lila felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She did not mean to hurt the frog. She thought Mommy would laugh.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, frog. I was trying to be funny. I was trying to be a hero. But I was not a hero. I was a bad girl." she said.
+
+Mommy sighed. She saw Lila's tears and heard her words. She knew Lila did not understand. She knew Lila wanted to make her happy. She knew Lila loved her.
+
+"Lila, you are not a bad girl. You are a good girl. But you made a bad choice. You need to learn what is funny and what is not. You need to learn what is kind and what is not. You need to learn what is a hero and what is not. A hero does not play mean jokes. A hero does not hurt others. A hero does not make a mess. A hero helps others. A hero is nice. A hero is clean. Do you understand?" she asked.
+
+Lila nodded. She understood. She wanted to be a hero. She wanted to be nice. She wanted to be clean.
+
+"Yes, Mommy. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." she said.
+
+Mommy smiled. She loved Lila too. She forgave her. She hugged her and wiped her tears.
+
+"I love you too, Lila. I forgive you. You are my hero. But please, no more frogs in my sandwich, okay?" she said.
+
+Lila laughed. She promised. She said okay. They cleaned up the mess and found the frog. They said sorry to the frog and let it go. They hugged again and went to play. They were happy. They were heroes.
+Lily and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with and it was raining outside. They wanted to have fun, but they felt miserable.
+
+"Let's make a tunnel!" Lily said. She had an idea. She ran to the kitchen and got a big cardboard box. She cut a hole on each end of the box with scissors. "This is our tunnel!" she said.
+
+Tom liked the idea. He helped Lily carry the box to the living room. They put the box on the floor and crawled inside. It was dark and cozy. They pretended they were in a cave.
+
+"Let's fill the tunnel with treasures!" Tom said. He ran to his room and got some shiny things. He got a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, and a coin. He brought them to the tunnel and put them inside. "Look, Lily, we are rich!" he said.
+
+Lily smiled. She ran to her room and got some soft things. She got a teddy bear, a blanket, a pillow, and a scarf. She brought them to the tunnel and put them inside. "Look, Tom, we are warm!" she said.
+
+They cuddled with their treasures and felt happy. They forgot about the rain and their boredom. They had made their own fun. They filled the tunnel with love.
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds and flowers and swings. They liked to play and run and laugh.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It barked and growled and ran after them. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to Mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, Mom, help us! There is a big dog!" they cried.
+
+Mom looked and saw the big dog. It was not a bad dog. It was a friendly dog. It just wanted to play. Mom knew the dog. It was Sam, the dog of her friend Anna.
+
+"Hello, Sam! What are you doing here?" Mom said. She called Anna on her phone and told her that Sam was in the park.
+
+Anna came and got Sam. She said sorry to Lily and Tom. She said Sam was a good dog, but sometimes he was too loud and excited.
+
+She gave Lily and Tom a treat. It was a cookie. They liked cookies. They said thank you to Anna and Sam.
+
+Then, they heard a nice noise. It was a song. It was a man with a guitar. He sang and played and smiled. Lily and Tom liked the song. They clapped and danced and sang along.
+
+They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They had fun in the park. They loved Mom and the song and the cookie. And they even liked Sam, the big dog.
+Lila loved to dance. She liked to move her body to the music and feel happy. She danced in her room, in the garden, and sometimes in the kitchen when her mom was cooking.
+
+One day, she went to visit her grandma, who lived in a big house with other elderly people. Lila brought her favorite CD and asked her grandma if they could dance together. Her grandma smiled and said yes.
+
+They went to the living room, where there was a big TV and a CD player. Lila put her CD in and pressed play. The music was loud and fun. Lila and her grandma started to dance. They moved their arms, their legs, their hips, and their heads. They laughed and hugged and spun around.
+
+Some of the other elderly people in the house heard the music and came to see what was going on. They saw Lila and her grandma dancing and having fun. They joined them and started to dance too. Soon, the living room was full of dancing people, young and old.
+
+Lila was very happy. She had never seen her grandma so happy. She thought dancing was the best thing in the world. She said to her grandma, "I love you, grandma. You are the best dancer ever." Her grandma said, "I love you too, Lila. You are the best dancer ever." They danced and danced until the music stopped. Then they clapped and cheered and hugged each other. Lila thought it was the best day ever.
+Anna liked to dream at night. She dreamed of big animals, like lions and elephants, and small animals, like birds and mice. She dreamed of flying in the sky, or swimming in the sea, or running in the grass. She dreamed of many colors and sounds and smells.
+
+One night, she had a very impressive dream. She dreamed that she was a princess in a castle. She wore a pretty dress and a shiny crown. She had a horse and a dog and a cat. She had many friends who came to play with her. She was very happy.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a dragon. The dragon was angry and hungry. It wanted to eat the princess and her friends. It breathed fire and smoke. It roared and flew. It came closer and closer to the castle.
+
+Anna was scared. She did not know what to do. She looked for help. She saw a knight. The knight had a sword and a shield. He had a helmet and a coat of mail. He was brave and strong. He came to save the princess.
+
+He said, "Do not worry, princess. I will fight the dragon. You are safe with me. I am your friend."
+
+Anna felt better. She smiled and thanked the knight. She watched him fight the dragon. He was very impressive. He dodged the fire and the smoke. He hit the dragon with his sword. He made the dragon run away.
+
+Anna was very happy. She hugged the knight. She said, "You are my hero. You are the best friend ever. Thank you for saving me."
+
+The knight smiled and hugged her back. He said, "You are welcome, princess. You are very kind and sweet. I am glad to be your friend."
+
+They went back to the castle. They played and laughed and had fun. They had a big feast and a dance. They lived happily ever after.
+
+Anna woke up. She remembered her dream. She felt warm and cozy. She smiled and said, "That was a very impressive dream. I liked it a lot. I hope I can dream it again."
+Lily and Max love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the rocket. The rocket is big and orange and makes loud noises. They like to pretend they are going to the moon.
+
+One day, they decide to play rocket in the garden. They find a big box and put it on the grass. They draw windows and buttons on the box with crayons. They say the box is their rocket.
+
+"Ready to go to the moon, Lily?" Max asks.
+
+"Yes, Max, I am ready!" Lily says. "But where do we seat?"
+
+Max thinks for a moment. He looks around and sees two chairs. He runs to get them and brings them to the box. He puts one chair inside the box and one outside.
+
+"Here, Lily, you can seat inside the rocket. I will seat outside and be the pilot. I will tell you when to push the buttons."
+
+Lily smiles and seats inside the box. She holds a crayon in her hand and pretends it is a button.
+
+"OK, Max, I am ready!" she says.
+
+Max seats outside the box and holds a stick in his hand. He pretends it is a microphone.
+
+"OK, Lily, we are going to the moon. Are you ready for blast off?" he says.
+
+"Yes, Max, I am ready!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, push the red button!" Max says.
+
+Lily pushes the crayon on the box and makes a beep sound.
+
+"Good, Lily, now push the blue button!" Max says.
+
+Lily pushes another crayon on the box and makes a whoosh sound.
+
+"Great, Lily, now push the green button!" Max says.
+
+Lily pushes another crayon on the box and makes a zoom sound.
+
+"Wow, Lily, we are flying to the moon!" Max says.
+
+Lily and Max laugh and clap their hands. They pretend they see stars and planets out of the windows. They have a lot of fun playing rocket in the garden.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the woods. They found a hut made of sticks and leaves. It looked old and cozy. They decided to make it their secret place.
+
+One day, they brought some red paint and a brush. They wanted to make the hut more pretty. They painted the door, the windows and the roof with red. They were happy with their work.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. A big bear came out of the hut. He was angry and scared. He saw the red paint on his fur and on his home. He thought it was blood. He growled at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Who did this to me and my hut?" he asked. "You are bad children! Go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily were very sorry and afraid. They did not know the hut belonged to the bear. They dropped the paint and the brush and ran away. They did not come back to the hut again.
+
+They learned to be careful and respectful of other animals' homes. They also learned that red paint can spread and make a mess. They looked for another place to play in the woods.
+Lily liked to play with her model cars. She had many colors and sizes of them. She made them zoom and beep on the floor. She pretended they were going on adventurous trips.
+
+One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her model cars and wanted to play with them too. He grabbed one of them from her hand. It was her favorite one, a red and shiny one.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. "That's mine!"
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Max said. "I like it more!"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She tried to grab it back, but Max was stronger. He ran away with it, laughing.
+
+Lily followed him, crying. She wanted her model car back. She loved it very much. She wished Max would share with her.
+
+Mama heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Max and Lily fighting over the model car. She was not happy.
+
+"Max, Lily, stop it!" Mama said. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Max took my model car!" Lily said. "He grabbed it from me!"
+
+"That's not nice, Max," Mama said. "You should ask before you take something that belongs to someone else. How would you feel if Lily took your model train?"
+
+Max thought for a moment. He liked his model train a lot. He would not like it if Lily took it from him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "I was wrong. Here, you can have your model car back."
+
+"Thank you, Max," Lily said. "Do you want to play with me? We can share."
+
+"Okay, Lily," Max said. "That sounds fun."
+
+Mama smiled. She was glad they made up. She hugged them both and said, "I'm proud of you, Max and Lily. You are good siblings. Sharing is caring."
+
+Lily and Max smiled too. They played with their model cars and trains together. They had a lot of fun. They were adventurous and happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. Tom wants to go on the slide. He runs to the ladder and climbs up. Mia is scared. She does not like high things.
+
+"Tom, wait for me!" Mia calls. She follows Tom slowly. She holds the knob on the ladder very tight. She does not look down.
+
+Tom reaches the top of the slide. He sees the park and the trees and the sky. He feels happy. He sits on the slide and pushes himself down. He goes very fast and laughs.
+
+"Mia, come on! It is fun!" Tom shouts from the bottom of the slide. He looks up and sees Mia. She is still on the ladder. She is near the top, but she does not move. She looks at the slide and the ground. They are very distant. She feels afraid.
+
+"Tom, I do not want to go on the slide. It is too high. It is too fast. I want to go down." Mia says. She starts to cry.
+
+Tom hears Mia. He feels sorry for her. He runs to the ladder and climbs up again. He reaches Mia and hugs her.
+
+"Mia, it is okay. You do not have to go on the slide. I will help you go down. We can play something else." Tom says. He holds Mia's hand and helps her go down the ladder. He is very gentle and careful.
+
+Mia feels better. She stops crying and smiles at Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I am sorry I was scared." Mia says.
+
+"You are welcome, Mia. You do not have to be sorry. Everyone is scared of something. I am scared of spiders. They are creepy." Tom says.
+
+They reach the bottom of the ladder and hug again. They are happy. They request their moms to buy them ice cream. They share their ice cream and play in the park. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch television. But today, their mom is very busy. She has to work on her computer and talk on the phone. She tells Anna and Ben to be quiet and not bother her.
+
+Anna and Ben are bored. They want to watch their favorite show on television. But the television is in the living room, where mom is working. They have an idea. They gather all their pillows and blankets from their beds. They make a big fort in their bedroom. They bring their toy laptop and phone inside the fort. They pretend they are working like mom.
+
+"Hello, this is Anna. How can I help you?" Anna says into the phone.
+
+"Hi, this is Ben. I need to send you an email. Can you open your laptop?" Ben says into the phone.
+
+"Sure, just a moment. I have to type something." Anna says. She taps on the laptop.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is mom. She has finished her work. She smiles when she sees the fort.
+
+"What are you doing, my little workers?" she asks.
+
+"We are working like you, mom. We are very busy." Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom laughs. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"You are very clever and creative, my darlings. How about we take a break and watch some television together?" she says.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They grab their pillows and blankets and follow mom to the living room. They cuddle on the couch and watch their favorite show on television. They are not bored anymore.
+Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys on the floor and on the shelf. Lily liked the soft dolls and Max liked the cars and trucks. They were having fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a big truck. It can zip on the road. Vroom, vroom!" Max said, making noises with his mouth.
+
+"Wow, Max, that's a nice truck. Can I see?" Lily asked, holding a doll in her arms.
+
+"Sure, Lily, here you go. But be careful, it's my favorite truck." Max said, handing the truck to Lily.
+
+Lily took the truck and looked at it. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. She liked how it felt in her hands. She tried to make it zip on the floor, but it was too hard. She pushed it harder, but it still did not move.
+
+"Max, why doesn't your truck zip?" Lily asked, frowning.
+
+"Because you have to pull the string, Lily. See, there's a string on the back. You pull it and then let it go. Then it will zip." Max explained, showing Lily the string.
+
+"Oh, I see. Let me try." Lily said, pulling the string. She felt the truck vibrate and then let it go. The truck zipped across the floor, making a loud noise. Lily smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it! You made my truck zip!" Max said, cheering.
+
+"Yay, I did it! Your truck is fun, Max. Thank you for sharing." Lily said, giving the truck back to Max.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You're a good sister. Do you want to play with my truck some more?" Max asked, holding the truck.
+
+"Yes, please. And you can play with my doll. She's very soft and pretty. See, she has a pink dress and a bow in her hair." Lily said, handing the doll to Max.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Your doll is nice. She has a smile on her face. Let's play together." Max said, taking the doll.
+
+Lily and Max played with the truck and the doll. They made them talk to each other and go on adventures. They had a lot of fun. They put the toys back on the shelf when they were done. They hugged each other and said good night. They were happy.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily finds a shiny penny on the floor. She picks it up and shows it to Max.
+
+"Look, Max, I have a penny! It is round and brown and has a face on it. Do you want to see?" Lily says.
+
+Max looks at the penny and feels jealous. He wants to have a penny too. He thinks it is not fair that Lily has a penny and he does not.
+
+"Give me the penny, Lily. It is mine. I saw it first," Max says. He tries to grab the penny from Lily's hand.
+
+"No, Max, it is mine. I found it. You did not see it first. Go away," Lily says. She holds the penny tight and runs away from Max.
+
+Max is angry and sad. He follows Lily and shouts at her. He does not want to be her friend anymore. He wants to have the penny.
+
+Lily and Max run to their teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee sees them and asks what is wrong.
+
+"Lily has a penny and I don't. She won't give it to me. It is not fair," Max says.
+
+"Max, you cannot take Lily's penny. She found it and it is hers. You have to ask nicely if you want to see it or share it. You have to be kind and respectful to your friends. Do you understand?" Miss Lee says.
+
+Max thinks for a moment. He knows that Miss Lee is right. He does not want to be mean to Lily. He wants to be her friend. He learns that he should not be jealous of what others have.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Can I please see your penny? Can we play with it together?" Max says.
+
+Lily smiles and nods. She gives Max the penny and they look at it together. They see the face and the numbers and the letters on it. They learn that the penny is money and that it has a name: Abraham Lincoln.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Your penny is very cool. Can we be friends again?" Max says.
+
+"Of course, Max. You are my friend. Friends share and learn and have fun," Lily says.
+
+They hug and go back to play with their toys and books. Miss Lee is happy to see them get along. She gives them each a sticker and a hug. She tells them that they are good kids and that she is proud of them.
+Lily was a princess who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a scale. She liked to weigh her toys and see how heavy they were. She put her doll on the scale and it said four. She put her bear on the scale and it said six. She put her ball on the scale and it said two.
+
+One day, she wanted to weigh herself. She climbed on the scale and waited for the number. But the scale did not say anything. It just made a loud beep. Lily was anxious. She did not know what the beep meant. She thought maybe she was too heavy for the scale. She felt sad and scared.
+
+She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, the scale is broken. It beeped at me. Am I too heavy?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "No, sweetie, you are not too heavy. The scale is not broken. It just needs new batteries. The beep means the batteries are low. You are just right for your age and height. You are a beautiful and healthy princess."
+
+Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. Can we get new batteries for the scale?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's have some fun. Do you want to play with your toys or read a book?"
+
+Lily said, "I want to play with my toys. Can you play with me?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, I can. I love playing with you. Let's go to your room and have some fun."
+
+They went to Lily's room and played with her toys. They weighed them again and made up stories about them. Lily was happy and forgot about the beep. She had a good time with her mom. She was a happy princess.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they were also hungry. They wanted to eat something.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. There are some cookies and milk in the kitchen. You can have one each, but don't make a mess," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Tom ran to the kitchen and found the cookies and milk on the table. They each took a cookie and a glass of milk and sat down to eat. The cookies were ordinary, but they tasted good.
+
+Tom finished his cookie and milk quickly. He wanted another one. He saw a roll of tape on the counter. He had an idea. He took the tape and stuck it on his cookie. He thought it would make it more fun to eat.
+
+"Look, Sara. I made a tape cookie. Do you want to try?" Tom said.
+
+Sara looked at Tom's cookie. She saw the tape on it. She did not think it looked fun. She thought it looked yucky.
+
+"Tom, that's not a good idea. You can't eat tape. It's not food. It's for sticking things together. It might make you sick," Sara said.
+
+Tom did not listen to Sara. He thought she was silly. He took a bite of his tape cookie. He did not like it. It was sticky and hard and tasted bad. He spit it out and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! You were right, Sara. Tape is not good to eat. It's gross. I don't want it anymore," Tom said.
+
+Sara smiled and gave Tom her cookie. She was a good sister. She did not want Tom to be hungry or sick.
+
+"Here, Tom. You can have my cookie. It's ordinary, but it's yummy. Next time, don't put tape on your food. It's not fun. It's silly," Sara said.
+
+Tom thanked Sara and ate her cookie. He agreed with her. He learned his lesson. He decided to never eat tape again. He only wanted to eat food.
+Lily and Ben like to play with numbers. They have cards with numbers on them. They can add the numbers to make bigger numbers. Lily has a card with two and a card with three. Ben has a card with four and a card with one.
+
+"Look, I can add two and three and get five!" Lily says. She puts the cards next to each other and shows Ben.
+
+"That's good, Lily. I can add four and one and get five too!" Ben says. He does the same and shows Lily.
+
+They smile and clap. They like to add.
+
+Then Lily sees a card with zero on it. She does not know what zero is. She picks it up and looks at it.
+
+"What is this?" she asks Ben.
+
+"That is zero. It means nothing. You can add zero to any number and it stays the same," Ben says.
+
+"Really? How does that work?" Lily says.
+
+"Here, I'll show you. Give me your card with two," Ben says.
+
+Lily gives him the card with two. Ben puts the card with zero next to it.
+
+"See, two and zero is still two. Zero does not change anything," Ben says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She does not like zero. It is not fun to add. It is scary. It makes her feel like nothing.
+
+She takes the card with zero from Ben and throws it away.
+
+"I don't like zero. It is scary. I like numbers that make bigger numbers," she says.
+
+Ben nods. He understands. He does not like zero either.
+
+"Me too. Let's play with other numbers. They are more fun," he says.
+
+They pick up their cards and start to add again. They forget about zero. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their new toy. It is a big robot that can move and talk. It is a modern toy that their dad gave them. They like to make the robot do funny things.
+
+"Robot, fill this cup with water," Lily says. She holds a plastic cup in her hand. The robot nods and walks to the sink. It turns on the tap and fills the cup with water. Then it walks back to Lily and gives her the cup.
+
+"Thank you, robot," Lily says. She drinks the water and smiles. "Robot, you are very smart and nice."
+
+"Robot, fill this bag with candy," Tom says. He holds a paper bag in his hand. The robot shakes its head and says, "No, Tom. Candy is not good for you. You will get a tummy ache. You should eat something healthy."
+
+"Aw, robot, you are no fun," Tom says. He pouts and throws the bag on the floor. "Robot, you are very boring and mean."
+
+Lily and Tom start to argue. They both want the robot to do what they say. They pull the robot's arms and legs. The robot does not like it. It feels pain and sadness.
+
+"Stop, Lily and Tom," the robot says. "You are hurting me. You are not being kind. You should share and play nicely."
+
+Lily and Tom look at the robot. They see its eyes are wet and its leg is broken. They feel sorry and ashamed. They let go of the robot and hug it.
+
+"We are sorry, robot," Lily and Tom say. "We did not mean to hurt you. You are our friend. We will share and play nicely."
+
+The robot smiles and hugs them back. It says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are my friends. I am happy."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build houses, towers, bridges, and anything they wanted. They liked to design new things with their blocks.
+
+One day, they saw a big pile of lumber in their backyard. Their dad was making a fence with the lumber. He had cut the lumber into long and short pieces. Tom and Mia thought the lumber looked like big blocks. They asked their dad if they could play with some of the lumber.
+
+"Sure, you can play with some of the lumber, but be careful. Don't hurt yourself or break the lumber. And don't make a mess. I need some of the lumber for the fence," their dad said. He was generous and gave them some of the lumber to play with.
+
+Tom and Mia were very happy. They took some of the lumber and brought it to their play area. They started to design a big house with the lumber. They used the long pieces for the walls and the short pieces for the windows and doors. They worked hard and had fun.
+
+"Look, we made a big house with the lumber!" Tom said.
+
+"It's a great house! We are good designers!" Mia said.
+
+They invited their dad to see their house. Their dad was proud of them. He praised their design and gave them a hug. He also gave them some cookies as a treat. Tom and Mia shared the cookies with their dad. They enjoyed their cookies and their house. They thanked their dad for the lumber and the cookies. They were happy and grateful.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they go to the street with their mom. The street is big and busy. There are many cars and people.
+
+"Look, mom, a hairy dog!" Mia says. She points to a big, brown dog on the other side of the street. The dog has long, curly hair and a wagging tail.
+
+"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Sam asks. He likes dogs. He wants to touch the dog's hair.
+
+"Wait, Sam, we have to be careful," mom says. "The street is not safe. We have to look both ways and hold hands."
+
+Mom holds Sam and Mia's hands. They look left and right. They see no cars. They cross the street. The dog sees them and barks. He is happy. He runs to them.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Sam and Mia say. They pet the dog's hair. It is soft and warm.
+
+"Hi, kids!" a voice says. They look up. They see a man. He is the dog's owner. He has a big smile and a hat. He also has a pair of scissors.
+
+"I'm sorry, he's a bit hairy," the man says. "I was just about to cut his hair. Do you want to help me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Sam and Mia say. They like to help. They follow the man and the dog to his house. Mom comes with them.
+
+They go to the backyard. The man puts the dog on a table. He gives Sam and Mia each a pair of scissors. They are small and safe.
+
+"Be gentle, kids," the man says. "We don't want to hurt the dog. We just want to make him look nice."
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They cut the dog's hair. They cut it short and even. They leave some hair on his head and tail. They make him look like a lion.
+
+The dog likes it. He licks Sam and Mia's faces. They giggle.
+
+"Wow, you did a great job, kids!" the man says. He claps his hands. "The dog looks very handsome. Thank you for your help."
+
+"You're welcome, mister," Sam and Mia say. They are proud. They hug the dog.
+
+Mom takes a picture of them. She smiles.
+
+"What a fun day!" she says. "You made a new friend and learned a new skill. How about we go get some ice cream?"
+
+"Yay, ice cream!" Sam and Mia say. They love ice cream. They say goodbye to the man and the dog. They hold mom's hand. They cross the street. They go to the ice cream shop. They are happy.
+Tom likes to play with his computer. He can see pictures and hear sounds on the screen. He can also press the buttons on the keyboard. He thinks the computer is fun and smart.
+
+One day, Tom is curious about how the computer tastes. He wonders if it is sweet like candy or sour like lemon. He decides to lick the computer. He sticks out his tongue and touches the screen.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom says. "The computer tastes bad. It is bitter and dusty. It makes my tongue feel funny." He spits out the taste and makes a face.
+
+His mom sees him and says, "Tom, what are you doing? You should not lick the computer. It is not food. It is a machine. It can be dirty and dangerous. You can get sick or hurt yourself."
+
+She takes the computer away from him and puts it on the table. The computer is heavy and hard. She wipes the screen with a cloth. She says, "The computer is for looking and listening and learning, not for tasting. If you are hungry, I can give you a snack. Do you want a banana or a cracker?"
+
+Tom says, "I want a banana, please. I am sorry, mom. I will not lick the computer again. I will only play with it." He hugs his mom and says, "I love you."
+
+His mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good boy. But please be careful with the computer. It is not a toy." She gives him a banana and a kiss. Tom eats the banana and feels happy. He likes the taste of the banana. It is sweet and soft. He thinks the banana is better than the computer.
+Anna liked to plan. She liked to think of things to do and make them happen. She liked to plan with her friend Ben. They played in the garden every day.
+
+One day, they saw a black insect on a flower. It had six legs and two wings. It buzzed and flew around. Anna and Ben wanted to catch it.
+
+"Let's plan how to catch the insect," Anna said. "We need a jar and a lid and some grass."
+
+"OK, I will get the jar and the lid," Ben said. "You get the grass."
+
+They ran to the house and got what they needed. They came back to the garden and looked for the insect. They saw it on another flower.
+
+"Shh, be quiet," Anna said. "We have to sneak up on it."
+
+They tiptoed to the flower and held the jar over the insect. They waited for it to fly into the jar. But the insect was smart. It saw them and flew away.
+
+"Oh no, it got away!" Ben said.
+
+"Let's try again," Anna said. "We have to plan better."
+
+They looked for the insect again. They saw it on a tree. They climbed the tree and held the jar over the insect. They waited for it to fly into the jar. But the insect was smarter. It flew to another tree.
+
+"Oh no, it got away again!" Ben said.
+
+"Let's try one more time," Anna said. "We have to plan best."
+
+They looked for the insect again. They saw it on a rock. They ran to the rock and held the jar over the insect. They waited for it to fly into the jar. But the insect was smartest. It flew to the sky.
+
+"Oh no, it got away for good!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can't catch the insect," Anna said. "Maybe it has its own plan."
+
+They looked at the sky and saw the insect fly away. They felt sad. But then they smiled.
+
+"Let's plan something else," Anna said. "What do you want to do?"
+
+"I want to play with you," Ben said.
+
+"Me too," Anna said. "Let's plan to have fun."
+
+They put the jar and the lid and the grass on the ground. They held hands and ran to the swing. They laughed and swung and had fun. They forgot about the insect. They were happy with their plan.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they tease each other. One day, they are having tea with their mom and dad. Lily has a thick slice of cake, and Ben has a thin one.
+
+"Look at my cake, Ben. It is bigger and yummier than yours. You have a tiny cake. Ha ha!" Lily says. She teases Ben with her cake.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like it when Lily teases him. He wants a thick slice of cake too. He thinks of a way to get back at Lily.
+
+He waits until Lily is not looking. Then he takes his spoon and dips it in his tea. He flicks his tea at Lily's cake. The tea makes Lily's cake wet and soggy.
+
+"Hey, stop that, Ben! You are ruining my cake!" Lily cries. She sees her cake is soaked with tea. She does not want to eat it anymore.
+
+Mom and dad see what is happening. They are not happy with Lily and Ben. They tell them to stop teasing each other and to share their cake. They say teasing is not nice and it hurts feelings.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry for what they did. They say sorry to each other and hug. They cut their cake in half and swap. They both have a thick and a thin slice of cake. They eat their cake and drink their tea. They are happy again. They promise to be nice and not tease each other anymore.
+Sara likes to go to class. She learns many things with her teacher and friends. She likes to draw, sing, and play games. But today, she is sad. She does not have money to pay for class.
+
+"Mom, I want to go to class. But I have no money. Can you help me?" Sara asks her mom.
+
+Mom hugs Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. We have no money, too. We have to pay for food, clothes, and rent. We have to work hard to get money. But we love you very much."
+
+Sara feels sad and hugs her mom. She wishes she could go to class and have fun. She thinks of her teacher and friends. She misses them.
+
+Then, she hears a knock on the door. She runs to open it. She sees a man with a big smile and a big box. He says, "Hello, Sara. I'm Mr. Lee. I'm your teacher's friend. I have a gift for you."
+
+Sara is surprised and curious. She says, "A gift? For me? What is it?"
+
+Mr. Lee says, "It's a scholarship. It means you can go to class for free. You don't have to pay. Your teacher told me you are a very good and smart student. You deserve this gift. It's very rare and special."
+
+Sara is very happy and excited. She says, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. Thank you, teacher. Thank you, mom. I can go to class. I can learn and have fun. I'm so lucky and grateful."
+
+She opens the box and sees a new backpack, a new book, and a new pencil. She loves them. She hugs Mr. Lee, her mom, and her teacher, who is also there. She says, "This is the best day ever. I can't wait to go to class tomorrow."
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But after a while, they start to feel tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. They want to go home and rest.
+
+"Come, Lily," Tom says. "Let's go back to Mom and Dad. They are waiting for us."
+
+"OK, Tom," Lily says. "But can we take the ball with us? I like the ball."
+
+"Sure, Lily," Tom says. "You can hold the ball. I will hold your hand."
+
+They walk back to their parents, who are sitting on a bench. They smile and hug them.
+
+"Did you have a good time, kids?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily say. "We played a lot. But now we are tired."
+
+"We can see that," Dad says. "You did a great job. How about we go home and have some milk and cookies?"
+
+"Yay!" Tom and Lily say. "We love milk and cookies."
+
+They get in the car and drive home. They drink their milk and eat their cookies. Then they brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They cuddle with their teddy bears and say good night.
+
+They fall asleep in their beds. They have peaceful dreams. They are happy.
+Anna liked to choose her own clothes every morning. She liked to wear red or pink or purple. She did not like to wear blue or green or brown. She said they were boy colors.
+
+One day, Anna saw a bird outside her window. It was blue and green and brown. It had a long tail and a yellow beak. It was singing a pretty song. Anna wanted to play with the bird. She opened the window and called to the bird.
+
+"Hello, bird! Do you want to be my friend? I have a doll and a ball and a book. We can have fun together!"
+
+But the bird did not come to Anna. It flew away to another tree. Anna was sad. She did not understand why the bird did not like her. She closed the window and cried.
+
+Her mom came to her room and saw her crying. She hugged her and asked her what was wrong.
+
+"Mom, I saw a bird and I wanted to play with it, but it flew away. It did not want to be my friend. Why did it not like me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and wiped her tears.
+
+"Anna, the bird did not fly away because it did not like you. The bird flew away because it was free. It liked to choose where to go and what to do. It liked to sing and fly and explore. It was not a toy or a pet. It was a wild animal."
+
+Anna thought about what her mom said. She realized that she liked to choose her own clothes and her own games. She did not like to be told what to wear or what to play. She understood that the bird was the same.
+
+She looked out the window and saw the bird again. It was still singing a pretty song. She smiled and waved to the bird.
+
+"Goodbye, bird! I hope you have a good day. Maybe I will see you again. Thank you for your song. You are a beautiful bird."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car in the park. The car is shiny and has four doors. A man and a woman get out of the car. They look rich. They have nice clothes and bags.
+
+"Wow, look at that car!" Tom says. "It is so big and shiny. I wish I had a car like that."
+
+"Me too," Sam says. "Maybe they will let us see it. Let's go and ask them."
+
+Tom and Sam run to the car. They see the man and the woman walk to a bench. They have a small dog with them. The dog is white and fluffy. It has a pink bow on its head.
+
+"Hello," Tom says to the man and the woman. "Can we see your car? It is very nice."
+
+The man and the woman smile. They are friendly. They say yes. They say they are going to sit on the bench for a while. They say they will watch their dog. They say the dog's name is Lily.
+
+"Thank you," Sam says. "We will be careful. We will not touch anything."
+
+Tom and Sam go to the car. They look at the car. They kneel to see the wheels. They see the seats and the windows. They see the buttons and the lights. They think the car is cool.
+
+Lily sees Tom and Sam. She wants to play. She runs to them. She barks and wags her tail. She jumps on them. She licks their faces.
+
+"Hi, Lily," Tom says. "You are cute. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes," Lily says. She does not say it with words. She says it with her eyes and her ears and her tongue.
+
+Tom and Sam play with Lily. They throw a ball for her. They pet her. They hug her. They have fun.
+
+The man and the woman watch them. They are happy. They like to see their dog happy. They like to see the boys happy. They say they are lucky. They say they have a nice car and a nice dog and nice friends. They say they are rich.
+Sam was a successful youth. He liked to help his mom and dad with many things. He could put his toys away, put his clothes in the hamper, and put his dishes in the sink. He was very good at sharing and saying please and thank you.
+
+One day, Sam went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. He looked down and saw a little girl waiting for her turn. She had a pink dress and a bow in her hair. She smiled at him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I go after you?"
+
+Sam smiled back and said, "Sure, Lily. I'm Sam. I like your dress and your bow. They are very pretty." He slid down the slide and landed on the ground. He felt a rush of joy and excitement. He ran back to the ladder and said, "That was fun! Can I go again?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But can I go with you? I'm a little scared to go by myself. Maybe we can hold hands and slide together."
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He wanted to go again, but he also wanted to be nice to Lily. He remembered how his mom and dad taught him to be kind and friendly. He said, "Okay, Lily. We can go together. Come on, I'll help you up the ladder." He reached out his hand and pulled Lily up. They sat on the top of the slide and held hands. They looked at each other and smiled. They counted to three and slid down the slide. They laughed and squealed as they felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They landed on the ground and hugged each other. They said, "That was awesome! Let's do it again!"
+
+Sam's mom watched them from a bench. She was proud of her son. He was a successful youth. He knew how to put others first, put a smile on their faces, and put his heart into everything he did. She smiled and said, "That's my boy."
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. But they also liked to wander and see new things.
+
+They wandered away from the playground and saw a big pond. There were ducks and geese swimming in the water. Tom and Lily wanted to feed them, so they looked for some bread. They saw a man sitting on a bench with a bag of bread. He was throwing some pieces to the ducks and geese.
+
+"Can we have some bread, please?" Tom asked the man.
+
+"Sure, you can have some. But be careful, the geese can be mean," the man said. He gave Tom and Lily some bread and smiled.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and went to the edge of the pond. They threw some bread to the ducks and geese. The ducks were nice and quacked. The geese were loud and hissed. Tom and Lily laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, Lily saw something else. She saw a big cake on a table near the pond. It was a birthday cake with candles and frosting. It looked yummy. Lily wanted a piece of cake.
+
+"Look, Tom, cake!" Lily said. She ran to the table and reached for the cake.
+
+But the cake was not for Lily. It was for a boy who was having his birthday party. The boy and his friends saw Lily and got angry.
+
+"Hey, that's my cake! Go away!" the boy shouted.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She dropped the cake and ran back to Tom. Tom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. We have bread. Bread is yummy, too."
+
+They ate the bread and went back to their mom. Their mom was happy to see them and gave them a kiss. She said, "Did you have fun, Tom and Lily?"
+
+"Yes, we did. We saw ducks and geese and cake," Tom said.
+
+"But we didn't eat the cake. It was not ours," Lily said.
+
+"That's good, Lily. You are a good girl. And you, Tom, you are a good boy. I'm proud of you," their mom said.
+
+They smiled and hugged their mom. They were happy. They liked to wander and see new things. But they also liked to be good and kind.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the wood. They run and jump and hide behind the trees. They see many animals and flowers in the wood. They are happy and have fun.
+
+One day, they find a big flower that they have never seen before. It is purple and pink and has many petals. It is very pretty and smells good. Anna and Ben want to touch it and smell it more.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the flower says. Anna and Ben are surprised. They did not know that flowers can talk. "Do you like me? I am a bloom. I only open once a year. You are lucky to see me."
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They ask the flower many questions. "Why do you only open once a year? How do you talk? What is your name?"
+
+The flower laughs. "I only open once a year because I need a lot of sun and rain and magic to grow. I talk because I have a special seed inside me that makes me smart. My name is Lila. What are your names?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell the flower their names. They think the flower is very nice and smart. They want to be friends with her.
+
+"You are very sweet and brave," Lila says. "But you should be careful in the wood. There are some crazy animals and plants that can hurt you. They are mean and greedy and do not like visitors. You should always stay together and watch out for them."
+
+Anna and Ben thank Lila for her advice. They promise to be careful and to visit her again. They say goodbye to the flower and go back to their home. They tell their mom and dad about their new friend. They are very happy and excited. They can't wait to see Lila again.
+Lily was excited to go to the park with her mom and dad. She put on her pink hat and her purple shoes and ran to the door. She wanted to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox.
+
+But mom said, "Wait, Lily. We have to eat lunch first. You need some vegetable and some bread and some cheese. Then you can go to the park."
+
+Lily did not like vegetable. She liked candy and cake and ice cream. She made a face and said, "No, mom. I don't want vegetable. I want to go to the park now."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you have to eat some vegetable. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy and smart. Look, I have some carrots and some peas and some corn. They are all different colors and shapes. You can make a picture with them on your plate."
+
+Lily paused. She liked to make pictures. She liked colors and shapes. She looked at the vegetable and thought. Maybe she could try some. Maybe they were not so bad. She said, "OK, mom. I will eat some vegetable. But can I go to the park after?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. You can go to the park after. But you have to eat all your vegetable and your bread and your cheese. And you have to say thank you."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom." She picked up a carrot and bit it. It was crunchy and sweet. She picked up a pea and popped it in her mouth. It was soft and green. She picked up a corn and nibbled it. It was yellow and juicy. She liked vegetable. She made a picture with them on her plate. She ate all her vegetable and her bread and her cheese. She was full and happy.
+
+She said, "Mom, I ate all my vegetable. Can I go to the park now?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, Lily. You can go to the park now. You are a good girl. I am proud of you."
+
+Lily was excited. She put on her pink hat and her purple shoes and ran to the door. She said, "Come on, mom. Come on, dad. Let's go to the park. I want to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox."
+
+Mom and dad followed her. They went to the park. They had fun. Lily was happy. She liked vegetable.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big building with many rooms and windows. They work hard and have fun. They put blocks on top of blocks and make walls and roofs.
+
+"Look, our building is almost done!" Lily says. "We just need to cover this hole with a big block."
+
+Ben looks for a big block. He sees one on the other side of the room. He runs to get it. But he is tired. He trips and falls. The big block falls too. It hits their building. Their building breaks. Blocks fall everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cries. "Our building is gone!"
+
+Ben feels sad. He says he is sorry. He hugs Lily. Lily hugs him back.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Lily says. "We can make another building. But first, let's rest. We are tired."
+
+They lie down on the floor. They cover themselves with a blanket. They close their eyes. They dream of new buildings.
+Sara liked to play in the park with her friends. She liked to swing, slide and run. She also liked to watch the squirrels that lived in the trees. They were fast and furry and had long tails.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big squirrel with a red hat on its head. It was eating a nut and looked very happy. Sara thought the hat was funny and wanted to touch it. She ran towards the squirrel and reached out her hand.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" she said. "Can I see your hat?"
+
+The squirrel did not like Sara. It did not want to share its hat. It was very popular among the other squirrels and thought it was better than Sara. It was also scared of Sara and thought she wanted to hurt it.
+
+The squirrel yelled at Sara. It made a loud and angry noise. It showed its teeth and claws and waved its tail.
+
+"Go away, girl!" it yelled. "This is my hat! You can't have it!"
+
+Sara was surprised and scared. She did not expect the squirrel to yell at her. She did not want to make it angry. She just wanted to be friendly.
+
+She ran away from the squirrel and back to her friends. She told them what happened and they hugged her. They said the squirrel was mean and rude. They said Sara was nice and kind. They said they liked her more than the squirrel.
+
+Sara felt better and smiled. She decided to leave the squirrel alone and play with her friends. She did not care about the hat anymore. She had more fun with her friends. They were the best.
+Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a big box under a tree. It is a mystery. What is inside the box?
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They want to open the box. But they are also scared. Maybe there is something bad in the box. Maybe there is a monster or a snake or a spider. They hold hands and look at the box.
+
+"Should we open it?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we should ask a grown-up."
+
+But there is no grown-up nearby. They are alone in the park. They look at each other. They are brave. They decide to open the box.
+
+They lift the lid of the box. They peek inside. They see something soft and fluffy. It is a teddy bear. It has a red bow and a smile. It is not a monster or a snake or a spider. It is a friend.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They take the teddy bear out of the box. They hug it. They hug each other. They have solved the mystery. They feel safe. They have a new toy to play with. They name it Mystery. They take it home with them. They share it. They love it.

+
+One day, they saw a show with a man and a lion. The man had a whip and a chair. He made the lion do tricks. He made the lion jump through a hoop, sit on a stool, and roll over. Lily and Max clapped and cheered.
+
+But then, the lion got angry. He did not like the whip and the chair. He roared and ran at the man. The man was scared. He dropped the whip and the chair and ran away. The lion chased him.
+

+
+Lily and Max were scared too. They hugged their mom and dad. They hoped the lion would not hurt the man.
+
+But then, they saw another man. He had a big gun. He pointed it at the lion. He shouted at the lion.
+
+"Stop! Surrender! Or I will shoot!"
+
+The lion stopped. He looked at the gun. He knew it was dangerous. He did not want to get hurt. He surrendered. He lay down on the ground and put his paws up.
+
+The man with the gun came closer. He put a collar and a leash on the lion. He led him away.
+
+The man with the whip and the chair came back. He was safe. He thanked the man with the gun.
+
+Lily and Max were glad. They were glad the lion did not hurt the man. They were glad the man did not shoot the lion. They were glad the show was over.
+
+They decided they did not like the show. They did not like how the man treated the lion. They thought the lion deserved to be free and happy.
+
+They asked their mom and dad if they could go see the monkeys again. Their mom and dad agreed. They went to see the monkeys. The monkeys were still funny and chubby and made loud noises. Lily and Max laughed and smiled. They liked the monkeys best.

+
+"Help me, Mia!" Tom says. He pushes the log with his hands. The log is heavy and does not move.
+
+"I am helping, Tom!" Mia says. She pulls the log with her feet. The log is still heavy and does not move.

+
+"Hello, kangaroo!" Anna says. She runs to the kangaroo. Ben follows her.
+
+The kangaroo sees them. It does not like them. It growls and shows its teeth. It is angry.
+
+"Go away, kids!" the kangaroo says. "This is my park. You are not welcome here."
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They stop running. They do not want to make the kangaroo more angry.
+
+"Sorry, kangaroo," Ben says. "We just wanted to say hi. We did not mean to bother you."
+
+The kangaroo snorts. It does not believe them. It thinks they want to take its food or its space. It jumps towards them. It wants to bite them.
+
+Anna and Ben scream. They turn around and run away. They run to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She sees them and the kangaroo.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" she asks. "Why are you running?"
+
+"There is a large kangaroo!" Anna says. "It is mean. It tried to bite us."
+
+Mom looks at the kangaroo. It is still hopping around. It looks calm now. It does not chase them.
+
+"Maybe it was just scared of you," Mom says. "You should not run to wild animals. They might think you are a threat. You should always be careful and respectful."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They are sorry for the kangaroo. They do not want to scare it again.
+
+"Can we still watch it from here?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can," Mom says. "But only from a safe distance. And no more running or shouting."
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They sit with Mom on the bench. They watch the kangaroo. It eats some grass. It looks at them. It does not growl or show its teeth. It is not angry anymore.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They think the kangaroo is beautiful. They hope it is happy. They say goodbye to it in their minds. They learn a lesson. They do not run to wild animals. They do not bite. They are nice.
+Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a hat for a captain. Lily was the captain and Ben was her mate.
+
+"Ahoy, matey!" Lily said. "We need to find the treasure. Look at this map!" She showed Ben a paper with some scribbles on it.
+
+"Where is the X?" Ben asked.
+
+"Here, on this island. We have to sail there and dig for the gold." Lily said.
+
+They pushed the box to the other side of the garden, where there was a pile of dirt. They jumped out of the box and started to dig with their hands.
+
+"Look, I found something!" Ben shouted. He pulled out a shiny metal hook from the dirt. "Maybe it belonged to a pirate who lost his hand."
+
+"Wow, let me see!" Lily said. She took the hook from Ben and rubbed it with her sleeve. "It's so shiny and cool. I want to keep it."
+
+"No, I found it. It's mine." Ben said. He tried to grab the hook back from Lily.
+
+"Stop it, you stupid!" Lily said. She pushed Ben away and ran to the box with the hook.
+
+"Give it back, you meanie!" Ben said. He ran after Lily and jumped on the box.
+
+They both fell to the ground, still fighting over the hook. They did not see the big dog that came from the house. The dog saw the hook and thought it was a toy. He barked and ran to the children. He snatched the hook from their hands and ran away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Lily and Ben shouted. They got up and chased the dog.
+
+But the dog was faster and smarter. He ran to the fence and jumped over it. He took the hook to his home and buried it in his yard.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped at the fence and looked at the dog. They were sad and angry. They had lost their treasure.
+
+"Stupid dog!" they said together. They went back to their box and sulked. They did not want to play pirates anymore.

+
+They decide to go and see. They walk to the sign and follow the arrows. They see a lot of people and tents and tables. They smell something sweet and yummy.

+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The lady gives them each a small bowl and a spoon. She shows them how to cut the fruit with the spoon. She has bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, and strawberries. Lily and Ben choose their favorite fruit and put them in their bowls. They mix them well.

+
+"Mom, can I play with the scissors?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, Sara, scissors are not for playing. They are sharp and dangerous. You can hurt yourself or make a mess," mom said.
+
+Sara was sad. She wanted to do something different. She hoped mom would finish soon and play with her.
+
+She went to her room and saw a big box. It was from grandma. She had not opened it yet. She wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a surprise. Maybe it was a game. Maybe it was a dress.
+
+She ran to the box and tried to open it. But it was taped and hard. She could not open it with her hands. She needed something to cut the tape.

+She remembered the scissors. She knew mom said no, but she was curious. She sneaked to the kitchen and took the scissors. She ran back to her room and cut the tape.
+
+She opened the box and saw a lot of paper. It was wrapping paper. She pushed it aside and saw another box. It was smaller and had a bow. She cut the bow and opened the box.

+
+"They are amazing too. They work so hard. Where are they going?" Tom wonders.
+
+"Let's follow them and see," Mia says.
+
+They get up and walk slowly behind the ants. They are careful not to step on them. They see the ants go into a small hole in the ground. They bend down and peek inside.
+
+"Hello, ants!" Tom says.
+
+"Hello, hello!" Mia echoes.
+
+The ants do not answer. They keep working. Tom and Mia smile. They think the ants are very smart and cool. They decide to leave them some crumbs from their snack. They hope the ants will like it.

+
+"OK!" Lila says.
+
+They try to lift the box, but it is too heavy. They push and pull, but it does not move.
+
+"Maybe we need something to help us," Lila says.
+
+"Like what?" Ben says.

+Sara laughs and says, "Hello, bird. Have you seen Ben?"

+The bird shakes its head and says, "No, I have not seen Ben. I am busy making my nest. I need clean sticks and soft feathers."
+
+Sara says, "That sounds nice. Can I help you?"
+
+The bird says, "Yes, you can. You can look for clean sticks and soft feathers in the garden. But do not peek behind the shed. That is where Ben is hiding."
+
+Sara says, "Thank you, bird. You are very clever and kind. I will help you and then I will find Ben."
+
+She runs to the shed and peeks behind it. She sees Ben crouching and smiling.
+
+"Found you!" she says.
+
+Ben says, "Oh, no! How did you find me?"
+
+Sara says, "The bird told me. He is my friend. He is making a nest. Do you want to help him?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. Let's go and help the bird."
+
+They go to the post and help the bird with his nest. They find clean sticks and soft feathers and make the nest cozy and warm. The bird is happy and says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are good helpers and good friends. Now you can play hide and seek again. But this time, I will be the seeker."
+
+Sara and Ben agree and run to hide. The bird counts to ten and then looks for them. He peeks behind the flowers, the bushes, the swing, and the pond. He finds them and they all laugh and play. They have a lot of fun in the garden.
+Lily and Max were playing outside in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Lily went first. She climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. She smiled at Max and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+Lily slid down the slide very fast. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was having fun. But then, she saw a big puddle at the end of the slide. She tried to stop, but it was too late. She slid right into the puddle and got wet. She splashed and laughed. She said, "Oops, I fall!"
+
+Max saw Lily fall and got worried. He ran to the slide and asked, "Are you okay, Lily?" He saw that Lily was not hurt, just wet. He smiled and said, "You look funny, Lily. You are all wet and muddy." He helped Lily get up and gave her a hug.
+
+Lily and Max looked up at the sky. They saw a beautiful rainbow. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. They pointed at the rainbow and said, "Wow, look at that! It is a rainbow!"
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She had a big umbrella and a towel. She said, "Come on, kids. It is time to go home. You are wet and cold. Let's get you dry and warm." She wrapped the towel around Lily and Max and opened the umbrella. She said, "Did you have fun at the park?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We had fun. We saw a slide, a puddle and a rainbow. And we fall, but we are okay." They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. You are adorable."

+Lily liked to make things with her stitch. She had a stitch box with many colors and shapes. She could make dolls, hats, scarves, and more. She was very good at stitch.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her brother Max her new doll. She had made it with pink and purple stitch and gave it a smiley face. She was very proud of her doll.
+
+She went to Max's room and knocked on the door. "Max, Max, look at my doll!" she said.
+
+But Max did not answer. He was playing with his cars on the floor. He had many cars, big and small, fast and slow. He liked to make them zoom and crash. He was very busy with his cars.
+
+Lily opened the door and walked in. She held up her doll and said, "Max, look at my doll! I made it with stitch. Do you like it?"
+
+But Max did not look. He ignored her. He kept playing with his cars. He did not care about her doll.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted Max to see her doll and say nice things. She wanted him to play with her and her stitch. She did not like his cars. She thought they were loud and boring.
+
+She said, "Max, you are mean! You do not like my doll. You do not like me. You are a bad brother!"
+
+But Max still ignored her. He did not hear her. He did not look at her. He did not talk to her.
+
+Lily stomped her foot and threw her doll on the floor. She ran out of the room and slammed the door. She went to her room and cried.
+
+She wished Max was a regular brother who liked her and her stitch. She wished he was not so rude. She wished he would not ignore her.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big vine that grew on the wall. It had green leaves and purple flowers.
+
+"Let's climb the vine!" said Tom. He grabbed a part of the vine and pulled himself up.
+
+"Wait for me!" said Lila. She followed Tom and climbed the vine too. They felt like they were in a jungle.
+
+They reached the top of the wall and looked around. They saw a big pile of trash on the other side. It was smelly and dirty. They saw flies and rats and worms.
+
+"Yuck!" said Lila. "This is not a nice place. Let's go back."
+
+But when they tried to go back, the vine was too weak. It started to yield and break. They heard a loud snap and felt themselves falling.
+
+"Help!" they screamed.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to the garden. She saw them lying on the ground, covered in dirt and leaves. She was scared and angry.
+
+"What were you doing?" she asked. "You could have hurt yourselves. The vine is not safe to climb. It is old and weak. And the trash is not a good place to play. It is smelly and dangerous. You should know better."
+
+She hugged them and took them inside. She cleaned their wounds and gave them some juice and cookies. She told them to be more careful and to listen to her.
+
+Lila and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and that they loved her. They learned their lesson. They never climbed the vine again.

+He grabbed his hockey stick and puck and ran to the living room. He started to hit the puck with his stick. He made a lot of noise and knocked over some books and a vase. He made a big mess.
+
+Lily followed him and said, "Tom, stop it. You are making a mess. You are ruining mom's birthday. Come back and help me with the cake."
+
+Tom said, "No, Lily. You are being bossy. I don't want to help you. I want to play hockey."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She said, "Tom, you are being mean. You don't care about mom. You only care about yourself."
+
+She ran back to the kitchen and tried to finish the cake by herself. She poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She hoped the cake would turn out well.
+
+But she forgot to set the timer and the cake burned. It smelled bad and looked black. Lily cried. She had no cake for mom. She had a messy living room and a mean brother. She wished Tom would come back and say sorry. She wished they could bake a new cake together. She wished they could make mom happy.
+Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her doll, she danced with her cat, she danced with her mom and dad. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new thing in the kitchen. It was shiny and round and had a handle. Lily wanted to dance with it. She reached for the handle and pulled. But the new thing was not for dancing. It was a pot. And it was hot. Lily felt a pain in her hand. She let go of the handle and cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw the pot and the handle and Lily's hand. She was scared. She took Lily's hand and put it under cold water. She said, "Shh, shh, it's okay, Lily. You are brave. You are calm. The water will help. The pot was hot. You have to be careful. You can't dance with pots. They are for cooking, not for dancing."
+
+Lily felt the water on her hand. It was cold and nice. She stopped crying. She looked at mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to dance. Can I dance with something else?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Of course, Lily. You can dance with anything you want, as long as it is not hot or sharp or heavy or breakable. How about you dance with this?" She gave Lily a wooden spoon. It had a handle too, but it was not hot. It was smooth and light and good for dancing.
+
+Lily took the spoon and smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like this spoon. It is a good dance partner." She twirled and jumped and spun with the spoon. She was happy. She was calm. She was dancing.
+Sara and her brother Tom like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They see birds and dogs and flowers and trees. They have fun and laugh and talk.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big pond!" Sara says. "Can we jog near the water?"
+
+"OK, Sara, but be careful. Don't fall in the pond. It is deep and cold and dirty," Tom says.
+
+They jog near the pond. They see fish and frogs and ducks and geese. They hear splash and quack and ribbit and honk. They are happy and curious and excited.
+
+But then, Sara slips on a wet rock. She falls in the pond. She is wet and cold and filthy. She cries and screams and kicks.
+
+"Help, Tom, help!" Sara says.
+
+Tom runs to Sara. He grabs her hand. He pulls her out of the pond. He hugs her and comforts her and wipes her face.
+
+"Don't cry, Sara, don't cry. You are OK. I am here. I will help you," Tom says.
+
+They jog back to their mom. She is worried and angry and surprised. She sees Sara is wet and cold and filthy. She sees Tom is dry and warm and clean.
+
+"What happened, Sara? What happened, Tom?" Mom says.
+
+"Sara fell in the pond. I helped her out. We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry," Tom says.
+
+Mom sighs and smiles and shakes her head. She loves Sara and Tom. She is proud of Tom. She is glad Sara is OK.
+
+"Come on, Sara, come on, Tom. Let's go home. Let's get you clean and dry and warm. Let's have some hot chocolate and cookies. You are good kids. You are good brother and sister," Mom says.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They saw a big house with a lot of food on the table. They wanted to eat some of the food. They did not see anyone in the house. They thought it was safe.
+
+They ran to the house and opened the door. They saw cakes, pies, cookies, and fruits. They were very happy. They took some of the food and put it in their mouths. It was very yummy.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. The dog was angry. It saw Lily and Ben eating its food. It barked and growled. It ran to them and showed its teeth. It was very dangerous.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the food and tried to run away. But the dog was faster. It caught them and bit them. It hurt them a lot.
+
+They shouted for help. But no one heard them. No one came to save them. The dog ate them up. It was very sad.
+Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big round thing. It has a stick in the middle. Sara says, "Let's spin on it!"
+
+They take turns to sit on the round thing. Ben pushes Sara and she spins fast. Sara laughs and says, "This is fun!" Then Sara pushes Ben and he spins fast. Ben says, "This is fun too!"
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He has a sour face. He says, "This is my round thing. Go away!" He pushes Sara and Ben off the round thing. He sits on it and spins by himself.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "That's not fair! You are mean!" The big boy says, "I don't care. This is mine!"
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They have an idea. They say, "We have a promise. We will spin on the round thing again. But we need your help. Can you push us one more time?"
+
+The big boy thinks. He says, "OK. But only one time. Then you leave." He pushes Sara and Ben on the round thing. They spin fast. But they don't get off. They hold on tight. They say, "Thank you! We are having fun!"
+
+The big boy tries to stop them. He says, "Hey! Stop! That's enough!" But Sara and Ben don't listen. They keep spinning. They say, "We are sorry. We lied. This is our round thing now. You go away!"
+
+The big boy is mad and sad. He says, "That's not fair! You are mean!" He runs away and cries.
+
+Sara and Ben smile and hug. They say, "We did it! We are smart and brave! We are best friends!" They spin on the round thing until they are dizzy. They laugh and have fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck that made loud noises. Lily had a soft doll that she liked to hug. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what their mom was doing.
+
+They walked to the kitchen, where their mom was baking a cake. She had a big bowl, a spoon, and some eggs. She also had a mouse on the counter. The mouse was not real. It was made of wood and had a string. It was a toy that their mom used to display her cakes.
+
+"Look, mom, a mouse!" Ben said, pointing at the toy.
+
+"Yes, it's a mouse," mom said, smiling. "Do you want to touch it?"
+
+Ben nodded and reached for the mouse. He felt its rough fur and its long tail. He pulled the string and the mouse moved its head and squeaked.
+
+"Wow, it's so cool!" Ben said, laughing.
+
+Lily also wanted to touch the mouse. She walked closer and stretched her hand. But she was too small and she bumped into the bowl. The bowl tipped over and the eggs fell on the floor. They cracked and made a mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said, scared.
+
+Mom turned around and saw the eggs. She was not happy. She put down the spoon and picked up Lily.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, don't cry," mom said, comforting her. "It was an accident. But you have to be careful around the kitchen. There are many things that can break or hurt you."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said, sniffling.
+
+Ben felt bad too. He put the mouse back on the counter and helped mom clean the eggs.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said, wiping the floor.
+
+Mom hugged them both and kissed their heads.
+
+"It's okay, Ben and Lily," mom said, smiling again. "I love you very much. And I still have some more eggs. We can make the cake together. And then we can display it with the mouse. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They liked the idea. They helped mom make the cake and they had fun. They also learned to be more careful in the kitchen. And they enjoyed the cake and the mouse.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to skip on the grass, swing on the swings, and slide on the slide. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big butterfly. It was yellow and black and had pretty spots. Lily wanted to catch it. She ran after it, but it flew away. She followed it to the other side of the park, where there were many flowers.
+
+"Ben, Ben, come here!" Lily called. "Look at the butterfly!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and ran to her. He saw the butterfly too. It was very graceful. It landed on a pink flower and opened its wings.
+
+"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Ben said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She reached out her hand to touch the butterfly. But the butterfly was scared. It flew away again, and went over the fence.
+
+"Oh no, it's gone!" Lily said. She felt sad.
+
+"Maybe it will come back," Ben said. He tried to cheer her up. "Let's go back to the swings. Maybe we will see it again tomorrow."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked Ben. He was a good friend. She took his hand and they walked back to the swings.
+
+"Ben, can you make me a promise?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, what is it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Promise me that we will always be friends, and always play in the park, and always skip together," Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded. He liked Lily too. She was a good friend. He squeezed her hand and said, "I promise, Lily. We will always be friends, and always play in the park, and always skip together."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They were happy. They skipped to the swings and played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and waved. They looked forward to seeing each other again tomorrow. And maybe, they would see the butterfly too.

+
+"No, Tom, don't do that!" Lily said. "The birds will be scared. They will bite you. They will fly away. Leave them alone!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He climbed the tree and got closer to the nest. The birds saw him and got angry. They made more noise. They pecked at Tom's hand. They flew out of the nest.

+Lily ran to him and helped him up. She gave him a hug. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you OK?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I scared the birds. I hurt myself. I'm sorry."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "It's OK, Tom. I forgive you. Let's go and get a band-aid for your knee. Then we can play something else. OK?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "OK, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend."
+
+They held hands and skipped away from the tree. The birds came back to the nest. They were quiet. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were adventurous twins. They liked to explore the park near their home. One day, they saw a big umbrella under a tree. It was red and yellow and had funny shapes on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a big umbrella!" Lily said. "Let's go and see it!"

+They laughed and pretended to eat the umbrella. They felt happy and silly.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, kids, that's my umbrella!" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man with a beard and a hat. He looked angry and surprised.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we didn't know it was yours," Lily said. "We just wanted to see it."
+
+"Yeah, sorry, mister, we didn't mean to hurt it," Ben said. "We thought it was a cheese umbrella."
+
+The man looked at them and smiled. He was not angry anymore. He was amused.
+
+"A cheese umbrella? That's a new one," he said. "No, kids, this is not a cheese umbrella. This is a special umbrella. It has holes in it so I can see the stars at night. I like to rest under this tree and watch the stars with my umbrella."
+
+"Really? That's amazing!" Lily said. "Can we see the stars with you?"
+
+"Sure, why not? But you have to wait until it gets dark," the man said. "Do you want to rest with me until then?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the man and his umbrella. They closed the umbrella and sat under the tree with him. They talked and laughed and waited for the stars to come out. They had a new friend and a new adventure.

+
+"Can we paint the wall, Lily?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe Mom and Dad will be mad," Lily says.

+But then they heard a roar. It was the giant. He came out of his house and saw them. He was very angry. He said, "Who ate my cake? You little thieves! I will catch you and eat you!"
+
+Tom and Mia were very scared. They dropped the cake and ran away. They ran as fast as they could to the park. They hoped the giant would not follow them.
+
+They reached the park and saw their mom. She was waiting for them. She said, "Where have you been? I was worried about you. Did you have fun?"
+
+Tom and Mia hugged their mom. They did not tell her about the giant and the cake. They said, "Yes, we had fun. But we are not hungry. Can we go home now?"
+Lisa and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. One day, they see a big bell on a tower. Lisa wants to ring the bell. She thinks it will be fun.
+
+"Let's go ring the bell!" Lisa says to Ben.
+
+Ben is scared. He thinks the bell is too loud. He thinks people will be angry. He says, "No, Lisa, we can't. The bell is not for us. It is for the church. It is a special bell."
+
+Lisa does not listen. She runs to the tower. She climbs the stairs. She finds the rope. She pulls the rope. The bell rings. It makes a loud noise. Lisa is happy. She thinks she is unique. She thinks she is brave.
+
+But Ben is not happy. He hears the noise. He sees people looking. He sees a man coming. The man is the priest. He is not happy. He says, "Who is ringing the bell? Who is making this noise? This is not a toy. This is a sacred bell. It is for prayer and worship. It is not for fun."
+
+Lisa hears the man. She is scared. She is embarrassed. She did not know the bell was sacred. She did not know the man was the priest. She says, "I'm sorry, sir. I did not mean to be bad. I just wanted to ring the bell. I thought it was fun."
+
+The priest is kind. He says, "I understand, child. You did not know. But you must be careful. The bell is not for play. It is for God. It is a unique bell. It has a meaning and a purpose. You must respect it."
+
+Lisa says, "I'm sorry, sir. I will respect it. I will not ring it again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+The priest says, "Of course, child. I forgive you. But you must learn from this. You must listen to your friend. He was right. He was wise. He was your guardian angel."
+
+Lisa says, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. And thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are my guardian angel."
+
+Lisa and Ben hug. They go back to the park. They play with other toys. They are happy. They are friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big yellow truck. It was making loud noises and moving dirt.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It is so big and tough. I want to be a truck driver when I grow up."
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's pretend we are truck drivers. We can make truck noises and clap our hands."
+
+They ran to a spot where they could see the truck better. They started to make truck noises with their mouths. They clapped their hands when the truck dumped the dirt.
+
+"Beep beep! Vroom vroom!" Ben said.
+
+"Honk honk! Rumble rumble!" Lily said.
+
+They had fun pretending to be truck drivers. They clapped their hands louder and louder. The truck driver saw them and smiled. He waved at them and honked his horn.
+
+"Hello, little truck drivers!" he said. "You are doing a great job. Do you want to see the truck up close?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were very excited. The truck driver parked the truck and got out. He helped them climb up to the cab. He showed them the steering wheel, the pedals, and the buttons.
+
+"This is a very tough truck," he said. "It can move a lot of dirt and rocks. Do you want to honk the horn?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded again. They took turns honking the horn. It was very loud and fun. They clapped their hands and thanked the truck driver.
+
+"You are very welcome," he said. "You are very brave and smart. Maybe you will be truck drivers someday."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They climbed down from the cab and waved goodbye to the truck driver. They ran back to their parents and told them about their adventure.
+
+"We saw a big yellow truck!" Ben said.
+
+"We clapped our hands and honked the horn!" Lily said.

+
+One day, Lily writes about a turkey. She saw a turkey on TV. It was large and brown. It had a red thing on its head and feathers on its tail. It made a funny sound. Lily thinks turkeys are fun. She writes a story about a turkey.
+
+She writes: The turkey lives on a farm. He has many friends. He likes to eat corn and bugs. He likes to run and play. He likes to gobble and flap. He is happy and proud. He does not know that Thanksgiving is coming.
+
+Lily shows her story to her mom. Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says: You are a good writer, Lily. You have a big imagination. I like your story. But do you know what Thanksgiving is?
+
+Lily shakes her head. She does not know. Her mom tells her: Thanksgiving is a day when we say thank you for what we have. We have a big dinner with our family. We have turkey and other yummy things.
+
+Lily gasps. She says: You eat turkey? The turkey in my story? That is not nice. He is my friend. He is happy and proud. You cannot eat him.
+
+Her mom laughs. She says: Don't worry, Lily. We will not eat your turkey. He is safe in your book. We will eat a different turkey. One that is not your friend. One that is not happy and proud. One that is just food.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says: OK, mom. I understand. But can I keep my book? Can I write more stories?
+
+Her mom says: Of course, Lily. You can keep your book. You can write more stories. You can write anything you want. You are a good writer, Lily. I love you.
+
+Lily smiles. She says: I love you too, mom. Thank you for my book. Thank you for my crayons. Thank you for my turkey. Happy Thanksgiving.

+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not know the new boy. They like their barrel and do not want to share it.
+
+"No, this is our barrel. Go away!" Anna says.
+
+The new boy frowns. He does not like to be told to go away. He thinks Anna and Ben are mean. He has a creative idea. He rides his bike around the barrel and makes loud noises.
+
+"Beep beep! I am a truck and I will knock down your barrel!" he says.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want their barrel to be knocked down. They hide inside the barrel and hold each other.
+
+"Stop it! Stop it! You are not a truck, you are a bully!" Ben shouts.
+
+The new boy laughs. He thinks he is funny. He rides his bike faster and faster. He is about to hit the barrel when he hears a voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice says.
+
+The new boy stops his bike and looks up. He sees a big man in a green shirt. He is the park ranger. He does not look happy.
+
+"I am playing with them," the new boy says.
+
+"No, you are not. You are bothering them. They do not want to play with you. You are being rude and dangerous. You could hurt them or yourself. You need to apologize and leave them alone," the park ranger says.
+
+The new boy feels ashamed. He knows he was wrong. He says sorry to Anna and Ben and rides away. Anna and Ben come out of the barrel. They are glad the park ranger came. They thank him and hug him.
+
+"You are welcome, kids. You have a nice barrel. It is good to be creative and have fun. But it is also good to be kind and respectful. Maybe next time, you can invite the new boy to play with you. He might be lonely and need a friend. You never know, he might have some creative ideas too," the park ranger says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They think the park ranger is wise. They decide to be more friendly and open. They go back to their barrel and continue their pirate game. They hope the new boy will visit them again and join them. They think they can all have more fun together.

+
+"He is a photographer. He likes to observe things and capture them with his camera," mom explained.
+
+"Can we observe with him?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to ask him nicely and not disturb him," mom said.

+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make noises. One day, Tim saw a new car that Sam had. It was big and shiny and had a button that made it go fast. Tim wanted that car very much.
+
+"Can I play with your new car, Sam?" Tim asked.
+
+"Sure, Tim. You can play with it for a little while. But be careful, it has a lot of power," Sam said.
+
+Tim took the car and pressed the button. It zoomed across the floor and made a loud sound. Tim felt happy and excited. He wanted to keep the car for himself. He thought Sam had too many cars and he had too few. He thought Sam was weak and he was strong. He decided to steal the car from Sam.
+
+He put the car in his pocket and ran away. He did not say goodbye to Sam. He did not care how Sam felt. He only cared about the car.
+
+Sam looked for his car and could not find it. He felt sad and angry. He knew Tim had taken it. He felt betrayed by his friend. He wanted his car back. He decided to confront Tim.
+
+He went to Tim's house and knocked on the door. Tim opened the door and saw Sam. He felt scared and guilty. He tried to hide the car behind his back.
+
+"Hi, Sam. What are you doing here?" Tim asked.
+
+"Tim, I know you have my car. You stole it from me. That was very wrong. Give it back to me now," Sam said.
+
+Tim did not want to give the car back. He liked it too much. He thought he could lie to Sam and keep the car.
+
+"No, I don't have your car. You must have lost it. Go away and leave me alone," Tim said.
+
+Sam did not believe Tim. He saw the car peeking out of Tim's pocket. He was very angry. He pushed Tim and grabbed the car. He held it tightly and glared at Tim.
+
+"Tim, you are a bad friend. You lied to me and stole from me. You hurt my feelings and broke my trust. You are not strong, you are weak. You are not happy, you are selfish. You should be ashamed of yourself," Sam said.
+
+Tim felt ashamed of himself. He realized he had made a big mistake. He had lost a good friend and a good car. He had no power, he had only trouble. He wished he had not stolen the car. He wished he had been nice to Sam.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was greedy and foolish. I should not have taken your car. I should have respected you and shared with you. Please forgive me. Can we still be friends?" Tim asked.
+
+Sam looked at Tim and saw he was sincere. He felt sorry for Tim. He knew Tim had learned his lesson. He decided to forgive Tim and give him another chance.
+
+"Tim, I forgive you. I'm glad you are sorry. I hope you will never steal again. I hope you will be honest and kind. Yes, we can still be friends. But you have to promise me something," Sam said.
+
+"What is it, Sam?" Tim asked.
+
+"You have to promise me you will never touch my car again. It is mine and I love it. You can play with your own cars or we can play together. But you have to respect my car and my things. Do you promise?" Sam asked.
+
+Tim nodded and smiled. He was happy Sam forgave him and wanted to be friends. He was happy he had his own cars and he could play with Sam. He did not need Sam's car anymore. He respected Sam's car and his things. He promised.
+
+"Yes, Sam. I promise. I will never touch your car again. I will respect your car and your things. I will be a good friend to you. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we play now?" Tim asked.
+
+Sam nodded and smiled. He was happy Tim was sorry and wanted to be friends. He was happy he had his car and he could play with Tim. He loved his car and his things. He trusted Tim.
+
+"Yes, Tim. We can play now. Let's race our cars and have fun. But remember, my car has a lot of power. It can beat your cars any day," Sam said.
+
+Tim laughed and agreed. He did not mind. He knew Sam was joking. He knew Sam was a good friend. He knew power was not in the car, but in the heart.

+One day, it is very hot and sunny. Ben and Mia go to the pond, but they see that there is no water. The pond is dry. The boats cannot sail on the dry pond. Ben and Mia are sad. They do not know what to do with their boats.
+
+"Let's go home," Ben says. "There is nothing to do here."
+
+But Mia has an idea. She sees a big hill near the pond. The hill has grass and flowers. Mia thinks the hill looks like a sea.
+
+"Look, Ben," Mia says. "The hill is like a sea. We can sail our boats on the hill."
+
+Ben looks at the hill. He thinks Mia's idea is good. He smiles.
+
+"OK, Mia," Ben says. "Let's sail our boats on the hill."
+
+Ben and Mia take their boats and run to the hill. They put their boats on the grass and push them down. The boats slide and roll on the hill. They make noises and trails. Ben and Mia laugh and clap. They have fun sailing their boats on the hill. They do not mind that the pond is dry. They are happy.
+Tom likes to count. He counts his fingers, his toes, his toys, his books. He counts everything he sees. He likes to count with his mom and dad, too. They help him learn new numbers.
+
+On Tuesday, Tom goes to the park with his mom. The sky is clear and blue. He sees many birds and bugs and flowers. He counts them all. He counts one, two, three, four, five birds. He counts one, two, three, four bugs. He counts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven flowers.
+
+He sees a big slide. He wants to go on it. He runs to the slide. He counts the steps. He counts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten steps. He reaches the top. He looks down. He sees his mom. She smiles and waves. He slides down. He counts one, two, three, four, five seconds. He lands on the ground. He laughs and claps. He counts one, two, three, four, five claps.

+He runs to his mom. He hugs her. He tells her what he counted. She is proud of him. She gives him a kiss. She says, "You are a good counter, Tom. You counted many things today. You are very smart."
+
+Tom is happy. He likes to count. He likes to go to the park. He likes to be with his mom. He says, "I love you, mom. I love to count. Can we count more things tomorrow?"
+
+The end.
+Tom is a boy who likes horses. He goes to a farm with his mom and dad. He sees many horses in the stable. They are big and brown and black and white. They have long hair and tails. Tom wants to touch them.
+
+Mom and dad say, "Be careful, Tom. Horses are strong and can kick. You have to be patient and gentle with them. Ask the farmer if you can pet them."
+
+Tom nods and walks to the farmer. The farmer is nice and says, "Sure, you can pet them. But first, you have to help me put some hay in their buckets. They are hungry and need to eat."
+
+Tom is happy and says, "OK, I can help you." He follows the farmer to a big pile of hay. The farmer gives him a small fork and shows him how to put hay in the buckets. Tom tries to do the same. He puts some hay in a bucket and carries it to the stable.
+
+He sees a horse with a white star on its forehead. He likes this horse. He puts the bucket near the horse and says, "Hello, horse. I brought you some hay. Can I pet you?"
+
+The horse looks at Tom and sniffs the hay. It lowers its head and eats the hay. Tom waits and watches. He is patient and quiet. He does not scare the horse. After a while, the horse finishes the hay and lifts its head. It nuzzles Tom's hand and lets him stroke its nose. Tom smiles and says, "You are a good horse. I like you. What is your name?"
+
+The farmer comes and says, "His name is Star. He is a friendly horse. He likes you too. You did a good job, Tom. You are a good helper and a good friend to the horses."
+
+Tom is proud and happy. He hugs Star and says, "Thank you, Star. Thank you, farmer. I had fun. Can I come back and see you again?"
+
+The farmer says, "Of course, you can. You are always welcome here. Come on, let's go and see the other horses. Maybe they want some hay and some petting too."
+
+Tom says, "Yes, let's go. I love horses. They are beautiful and kind." He follows the farmer and his mom and dad to the other horses. He puts hay in their buckets and pets them. He has a wonderful day at the farm.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They like to look for bugs and flowers. One day, they see a cricket on a leaf. It is green and has long legs. It makes a loud noise with its wings.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Sara says. "Can we catch it?"
+
+Ben nods. He has a jar with holes in the lid. He tries to grab the cricket, but it jumps away. Sara and Ben run after it. They are not calm. They are excited.
+
+The cricket leads them to the fence. It jumps over to the other side. Sara and Ben want to follow it, but they hear their mom calling.
+
+"Time for lunch, kids!" Mom says. "Come inside!"
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They want to see the cricket again. They ask Mom if they can delay lunch.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we delay lunch?" Sara says. "We want to catch the cricket!"
+
+Mom smiles. She knows they like to play. She says they can delay lunch for a little bit, but not too long.
+
+"Okay, Mom, thank you!" Ben says. "We will be back soon!"
+
+Sara and Ben hurry to the fence. They climb over to the other side. They look for the cricket. They hope it is still there. They want to be its friends.
+Lisa and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many birds near the pond. Lisa liked the ducks. They were yellow and brown and made funny noises. Ben liked the swans. They were white and big and had long necks.
+
+"Can we feed the birds, Mom?" Lisa asked.
+
+"Sure, here are some bread crumbs. But be careful, some birds are bossy and might peck you," Mom said.
+
+Lisa and Ben took some bread crumbs and walked to the pond. Lisa threw some to the ducks. They came closer and ate them. Lisa smiled. Ben threw some to the swans. They came closer too, but one of them was very bossy. It hissed and flapped its wings at Ben. It wanted all the bread crumbs for itself.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You have to share!" Ben said.
+
+The bossy swan did not listen. It pecked at Ben's hand. Ben cried. Mom ran to him and hugged him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asked.
+
+"It hurts, Mom. The swan was mean to me," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. That swan was not nice. Let's choose another spot to feed the birds. Maybe we can find some friendly ones," Mom said.
+
+Lisa and Ben nodded. They followed Mom to another spot. There they saw some geese and pigeons. They were not bossy. They ate the bread crumbs and made soft sounds. Lisa and Ben felt happy. They liked feeding the birds. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park.
+Jen was sleepy. She wanted to go to bed, but Mom said she had to eat her dinner first. Jen did not like dinner. It was orange and mushy. It was carrots. Jen hated carrots. She pushed them away and made a face.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said Jen had to eat her carrots or she would not get dessert. Jen loved dessert. It was cake. It was sweet and soft. Jen wanted cake, but she did not want carrots. She looked at Mom and blinked. She had an idea.
+
+Jen pretended to eat her carrots. She took a spoonful and put it in her mouth. But she did not swallow. She hid the carrots in her cheek. Then she smiled and said, "Mmm, yummy!" Mom smiled back and said, "Good girl!" She gave Jen a piece of cake.
+
+Jen was happy. She ate her cake and swallowed her carrots. She thought she was clever. But she was not. The carrots made her cheek big and sore. They also made her thirsty. She drank a lot of water. Then she felt sick.
+
+Jen ran to the bathroom. She threw up. She felt bad. She cried. Mom came and hugged her. She said, "What's wrong, Jen?" Jen said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not eat my carrots. I hid them in my cheek. I wanted cake." Mom said, "Oh, Jen. That was not a good idea. You should always tell the truth and eat your vegetables. They are good for you." Jen said, "I know, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Mom said, "It's okay, Jen. I forgive you. But you have to go to bed now. You need to rest." Jen said, "Okay, Mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Jen. Good night." She tucked Jen in and kissed her forehead. Jen was sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of cake and carrots.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good.
+
+One day, Lily found a new crayon in her toy box. It was dark and shiny. She wanted to draw with it. She took a big piece of paper and started to make lines and shapes. She sang as she drew. She sang a song about the crayon and the paper and the colors.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look what I made!" Lily said, holding up her drawing. She was very proud of it.
+
+Mommy came to see. She smiled and hugged Lily. "That's very nice, sweetie. But do you know what kind of crayon that is?" she asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know.
+
+Mommy pointed to the crayon. "That's a special crayon, Lily. It's called a glow-in-the-dark crayon. It can make your drawing shine when it's dark. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious. She wanted to see.
+
+Mommy took Lily and her drawing to a dark room. She turned off the light. Lily gasped. Her drawing was glowing! It looked like stars and fireflies. It was beautiful.
+
+Lily clapped her hands. She was amazed. She sang a new song. She sang a song about the dark and the light and the magic. She sang with joy and wonder.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they went to a party. There was a big cake on the table. It looked yummy.
+
+"Can we have some cake?" Tom asked.
+
+"Not yet," said the lady. "We have to sing first."
+
+Tom and Sue waited. They sang a song. Then the lady said, "Now you can have some cake."
+
+Tom and Sue ran to the table. They saw a big knife. Tom had an idea.
+
+"Let's cut the cake ourselves," he said.
+
+He took the knife and tried to remove a piece of cake. But he did not know how to do it. He made a big mess. He dropped the knife. He broke the cake.
+
+The lady saw what Tom did. She was angry. She shouted, "What are you doing? You ruined the cake!"
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the cake. He ran away.
+
+Sue was sad. She liked cake. She did not get any cake. She followed Tom.
+
+They hid behind a sofa. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry. We did not mean to break the cake."
+
+The lady heard them. She was not angry anymore. She said, "It's okay. I have another cake. But next time, please wait for me to cut it."
+
+Tom and Sue said, "Okay. Thank you."
+
+They came out from behind the sofa. They hugged the lady. They had some cake. It was yummy. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily likes to add things. She adds stickers to her books, beads to her necklace, and sugar to her milk. She thinks adding makes everything better.
+
+One day, she sees her mom's phone on the table. She wants to add something to it too. She finds a marker and draws a big smiley face on the screen. She is very proud of her work.
+
+But when her mom sees it, she is not happy. She is very shocked and angry. She says, "Lily, what did you do? You ruined my phone! This is not a toy, this is very important!" She takes the phone away and scolds Lily.
+
+Lily feels very embarrassed and sad. She did not mean to make her mom mad. She just wanted to add something nice. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom sighs and hugs her. She says, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to be careful with other people's things. You can't add things to them without asking. Do you understand?" Lily nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't do it again." Her mom smiles and says, "Good. Now let's go and find something else you can add to. How about some cookies?" Lily cheers up and says, "Yes, please! I like cookies!" They go to the kitchen and add some chocolate chips and sprinkles to the cookies. Lily thinks adding makes everything better.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they wanted to go to the park with their mom, but Lily felt hot and tired. Mom took a thermometer and put it in Lily's mouth. It showed a high number. Mom said, "Lily, you have a fever. You need to stay home and rest. We can't go to the park today."
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair! I want to go to the park! Why does Lily always delay our plans?" He stomped his feet and threw his toys. Mom said, "Ben, you need to be kind and patient. Lily is sick and she needs your love and support. You can go to the park another day. Why don't you read a book or draw a picture for Lily?"
+
+Ben thought about it and realized he was being mean. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I love you and I hope you feel better soon." He gave Lily a hug and a kiss. He picked up his toys and put them away. He found a book and a crayon and made a card for Lily. He wrote, "Get well soon, Lily. You are the best sister ever. Love, Ben."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She said, "You are the best brother ever. Thank you for the card. It makes me happy." She put the card on her bedside table. Mom said, "You are both very sweet and thoughtful. I'm proud of you." She gave them both a hug and a kiss. She said, "Now, let's have some soup and juice. Maybe tomorrow, we can go to the park if Lily feels better."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mom to the kitchen. They ate their soup and drank their juice. They felt warm and cozy. They learned that being kind and patient is more important than having fun. They also learned that being sick is not fun, but having a loving family makes it easier. They were successful in being good twins.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big box of toys. Jen has a small bag of toys. Tom thinks he is lucky. He has more toys than Jen.
+
+One day, Tom and Jen go to the park. They bring their toys. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They leave their toys on a bench. They run to the slide.
+
+They have fun on the slide. They go up and down. They laugh and shout. They forget about their toys.
+
+A boy sees their toys. He likes their toys. He takes their toys. He puts them in his backpack. He runs away.
+
+Tom and Jen go back to the bench. They look for their toys. They do not see their toys. They are sad. They cry.
+
+"Where are our toys?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know," Jen says.
+
+They see a label on the bench. It says: "Do not leave your things here. Someone might take them."
+
+They read the label. They feel sorry. They learn a lesson. They should not leave their things alone. They should take care of their things. They are not lucky. They are careless.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with sand at the park. They had buckets and shovels and molds to make shapes. They wanted to organize a sand contest with their friends. They asked their mom and dad if they could invite them over.
+
+"Sure, you can invite your friends, but you have to share your toys and be nice to each other," mom said.
+
+"OK, mom, we will," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They called their friends on the phone and told them to come to the park. They were very excited to see who could make the best sand castle or sand animal or sand anything.
+
+When their friends arrived, they divided into two teams. Lily and Ben were on one team, and Mia and Sam were on the other. They each picked a spot on the sand and started to build.
+
+Lily and Ben worked hard to make a big sand castle with towers and walls and a bridge. They used their expensive molds that grandma gave them for their birthday. They were very proud of their castle.
+
+Mia and Sam decided to make a sand dragon with wings and scales and a long tail. They used their hands and sticks and rocks to shape the sand. They had fun making their dragon.

+

+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the jungle near their home. They pretended to be animals and explorers. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big lion in the jungle. The lion was hungry and angry. He roared and chased them. Tom and Lily were scared. They ran as fast as they could.
+
+They reached a big tree. They climbed up the tree and hid. The lion could not climb the tree. He waited under the tree and growled.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Who will save us?"
+
+A monkey heard their shouts. He was a loyal friend of Tom and Lily. He always served them fruits and nuts when they visited the jungle. He wanted to help them.
+
+He swung from the vines and threw coconuts at the lion. The coconuts hit the lion on the head. The lion felt pain and ran away.
+
+"Thank you, monkey!" Tom and Lily said. "You are a brave and loyal friend. You saved us from the lion."
+
+The monkey smiled and hugged them. He said, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are my friends too. Friends help each other. That is the moral of the story."
+Tommy likes to play in the garden. He likes to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. One day, he finds a big black beetle. He thinks it is cool and shiny. He wants to keep it as a pet.
+
+He puts the beetle in a jar and takes it to his room. He puts some leaves and grass in the jar for the beetle to eat. He makes a hole in the lid for the beetle to breathe. He puts the jar on his shelf and goes to have lunch.
+
+But the beetle is not happy in the jar. It wants to be free and explore the garden. It does not like the leaves and grass. It is hungry and bored. It is a naughty beetle. It pushes the lid with its strong legs and makes the hole bigger. It crawls out of the jar and onto the shelf.
+
+The beetle sees Tommy's toys and books. It thinks they are fun and tasty. It starts to chew on them and make holes. It makes a mess on the shelf. It does not care if Tommy will be sad or angry.
+
+Tommy comes back to his room after lunch. He wants to see his beetle and play with it. He looks at the jar and sees that it is empty. He looks at the shelf and sees that it is ruined. He sees the beetle on his bed, biting his pillow. He is very upset. He does not like the beetle anymore. He thinks it is a bad and naughty beetle. He does not want it as a pet. He grabs the beetle and puts it back in the jar. He takes the jar to the garden and lets the beetle go. He says goodbye to the beetle and hopes it will not come back. He goes to his mom and tells her what happened. She hugs him and says she is sorry. She says she will help him clean his room and get him a new pillow. She says she loves him and he is a good boy. She says he should not keep wild bugs as pets. She says he should only keep bugs that he knows are friendly and safe. Tommy nods and says he understands. He says he loves her too. He says he will not catch any more beetles. He says he will only catch butterflies.
+Lily and Ben like to play catch with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and try not to drop it. Sometimes they count how many times they can catch the ball without missing.
+
+One day, they decide to play catch with a new ball. It is shiny and red and has a star on it. Lily thinks it is a very pretty ball. Ben thinks it is a very fast ball. They take turns to throw and catch the ball.
+
+"Wow, this ball is so fast!" Ben says. "I can throw it very far."
+
+"Let me see how far you can throw it," Lily says. "I will measure it with my steps."
+
+Ben throws the ball as hard as he can. It flies over Lily's head and lands in the bushes. Lily runs after the ball. She counts her steps as she goes. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," she says.
+
+She reaches the bushes and looks for the ball. She sees something shiny and red. She reaches for it. But it is not the ball. It is a fake apple. It is made of plastic and has a worm on it.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily says. "This is not our ball. This is a fake apple. Who put this here?"
+
+She hears a laugh behind the bushes. It is Max, their neighbor. He is holding their ball. He is playing a trick on them.
+
+"Ha ha, I got you!" Max says. "I swapped your ball with my fake apple. Did you like it?"
+
+Lily and Ben are not happy. They do not like Max's trick. They think he is mean and rude.
+
+"Give us back our ball!" Lily says. "That was not funny. That was mean."
+
+"Yeah, give us back our ball!" Ben says. "We don't want your fake apple. We want our real ball."
+
+Max does not listen. He runs away with their ball. He thinks he is clever and funny.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want to play catch with their ball. They do not want to play with Max. They think he is a bad friend. They go home and tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says she will talk to Max's mom. She says she will get their ball back. She says she is proud of them for being good and kind. She says she loves them very much.
+Lily liked to play with makeup. She had many colors and brushes that she got from her mom. She liked to put makeup on her face, her dolls, and sometimes her cat. But she did not like to share her makeup with anyone.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her friend Ben. Ben saw Lily's makeup bag and wanted to play with it. He asked Lily if he could try some makeup. Lily said no. She said it was hers and he could not touch it. Ben felt sad and went to play with his toy boat.
+
+Lily saw Ben's boat and thought it looked fun. She wanted to sail it on the pond. She asked Ben if she could play with his boat. Ben said yes. He said he was polite and he liked to share. Lily took the boat and ran to the pond. She did not say thank you to Ben.
+
+Lily sailed the boat on the water. She had fun making it go fast and slow. She did not see the big duck that came near the boat. The duck thought the boat was food and bit it. The boat broke and sank. Lily cried and ran back to Ben.
+
+Ben saw Lily's sad face and felt sorry for her. He said he was sorry that his boat broke. He said he still wanted to be her friend. He asked her if she wanted to play with his ball. Lily said yes. She said she was sorry that she was not polite and she did not share. She said she wanted to be his friend too. She asked him if he wanted to play with her makeup. Ben said yes. He said he liked to try new things. They played with the makeup and the ball. They had fun and laughed. They learned to share and be polite.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing and being polite are good ways to make friends and have fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to put on a show for their mom and dad. They wore funny hats and scarves and made up songs and jokes. They used a broom as a microphone and a rug as a stage.
+
+Mom and dad sat on the couch and watched their show. They smiled and laughed and clapped their hands. They said, "You are very good, Lily and Ben! We are proud of you!"
+
+But Lily and Ben wanted more. They wanted mom and dad to applaud louder and longer. They wanted them to say, "You are the best, Lily and Ben! You are amazing!"
+
+So they kept doing their show. They sang louder and faster. They told more jokes and made more faces. They jumped and spun and rolled on the floor.
+
+But mom and dad did not applaud louder and longer. They started to look tired and bored. They said, "That's enough, Lily and Ben. You have done a great show, but now it's time to stop."
+
+Lily and Ben did not listen. They wanted more applause. They said, "No, we want to do more! We want to make you happy!"
+
+But mom and dad did not look happy. They looked annoyed and angry. They said, "No, Lily and Ben. You are being rude and selfish. You are not making us happy. You are making us unhappy."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We did not mean to be rude and selfish. We just wanted to make you happy."
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you, Lily and Ben. You make us happy when you are kind and respectful. You don't need to do a show to make us happy. You just need to be yourselves."
+
+Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They learned that applause is not the most important thing. They learned that being kind and respectful is more important. They learned that mom and dad love them for who they are, not for what they do.
+Sara liked to play with her jewels. She had many shiny stones in different colors. She kept them in a box under her bed. She did not like to share them with anyone.
+
+One day, a new girl came to her school. Her name was Lily. She had long hair and a red dress. Sara wanted to be her friend. She thought Lily would like her jewels too.
+
+At recess, Sara took her box of jewels and went to Lily. She said, "Hi, I am Sara. I want to introduce you to my jewels. They are very pretty. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She followed Sara to a corner of the playground. Sara opened her box and showed her the jewels. Lily's eyes sparkled. She reached out and touched a red jewel. She said, "Wow, this is so beautiful. Can I have it?"
+
+Sara was surprised. She did not want to give her jewel to Lily. She said, "No, this is mine. You can look, but you cannot have it."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like Sara's answer. She said, "That is not fair. You have so many jewels. You should share with me. I want this red jewel. Give it to me now!"
+
+Sara was scared. She tried to close her box, but Lily was stronger. She grabbed the red jewel and ran away. She shouted, "Ha ha, this is mine now. You are a mean and greedy girl. I don't want to be your friend."
+
+Sara was sad and angry. She cried and screamed. She wanted her red jewel back. She ran after Lily, but Lily was faster. She got away with the jewel. Sara lost her jewel and her friend. She had a bad day.

+
+He tries to take the drum from Sam. Sam holds on tight. They pull and tug. The drum falls to the ground. It breaks. The drum makes no more noises.
+
+Ben and Sam are both sad. They look at the broken drum. They wish they did not fight.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I should not have lied. I should have shared," Sam says.
+
+"I am sorry, too, Sam. I should not have yelled. I should have been kind," Ben says.
+
+They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. They go on the slide together. They have fun. They learn a lesson. They do not lie or fight anymore. They share and care.

+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with green leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, but be careful, and don't go too high," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the tree and start to climb. They find a branch that is big and strong. They sit on the branch and look around.
+
+"Wow, look at the birds!" Lily says. "They are so pretty and colorful."
+
+"I see a red bird, and a blue bird, and a yellow bird," Tom says.
+
+They hear a noise. They look up and see a big bow on the top of the tree. The bow is green and shiny. It has a ribbon that hangs down.
+
+"Who put the bow there?" Lily wonders.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift for the tree," Tom guesses.
+
+"Or maybe it is a trap for the birds," Lily says.
+
+They are curious about the bow. They want to touch it and see what it is.
+
+"Let's go and see the bow," Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful, and don't fall," Lily says.
+
+They climb higher and higher. They reach the bow. They set their hands on the bow. It is soft and smooth.
+
+"It is not a gift, and it is not a trap," Tom says. "It is just a bow."
+
+"It is a pretty bow," Lily says. "Can we take it?"
+
+"No, we can't," Tom says. "It belongs to the tree. We should leave it here."
+
+"OK, you are right," Lily says. "Let's go down and tell Mom."
+
+They climb down and run to Mom. They tell her about the bow. Mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"You are very brave and smart," Mom says. "But you are also very lucky. Do you know why?"
+
+"Why?" Tom and Lily ask.
+
+"Because the bow is not just a bow," Mom says. "It is a magic bow. It can grant wishes. But only to those who are kind and respectful to the tree. And you are. So you can make a wish."
+
+"Really?" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Really," Mom says. "But you have to be quick. The bow will disappear soon. So what do you wish for?"
+
+Tom and Lily think hard. They look at each other and smile. They have the same wish.
+
+"We wish for more bows!" they say together.
+
+And then, all over the park, green bows appear. On the flowers, on the swings, on the benches, on the dogs, on the people. Everyone is surprised and happy. Tom and Lily laugh and clap. They run and play with the bows. They have the best day ever.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a human doll with long hair and a dress. Tom likes the doll too. He wants to play with it.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asks Sara.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes her doll very much. But she also likes Tom. She remembers that her mom told her to share with others. Sharing is kind.
+
+"Okay, you can play with my doll for a little bit. But be careful, she is very pretty," Sara says.
+
+Tom is happy. He takes the doll and makes her talk and dance. He says thank you to Sara.
+
+Sara smiles. She is glad that Tom is happy. She watches him play with the doll. She thinks that Tom is a good friend. She is happy too.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon. It is red and shiny. They want to touch it.
+
+They run to the balloon. But a man stops them. He says, "No, no, this is not a toy. This is a special balloon. It has oxygen inside. Oxygen is what we breathe. If you touch it, it might pop. Then the oxygen will go away. That is bad."
+
+Ben and Mia are nervous. They do not want to pop the balloon. They do not want to make the oxygen go away. They do not know what oxygen is. They only know it is important.
+
+They say, "Sorry, mister. We did not know. We will not touch the balloon. We will play somewhere else."
+
+The man smiles. He says, "Thank you, kids. You are very smart and polite. You can look at the balloon, but do not touch it. It is very pretty, isn't it?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They look at the balloon. It is very pretty. They wonder what oxygen is. Maybe they will learn when they are older. For now, they are happy to play in the park.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a small penguin. Lily liked the penguin very much. It was soft and black and white and had a funny beak.
+
+"Can I play with your penguin?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine. You have your truck," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to try the penguin. It looks nice. Please, Lily, lend me your penguin for a little bit," Ben said.
+
+"No, no, no. Go away, Ben. The penguin is not for you," Lily said. She hugged the penguin and turned away from Ben.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He wanted to play with the penguin too. He thought Lily was not nice. He grabbed the penguin from Lily's arms and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give me back my penguin! That is not fair! You are mean, Ben!" Lily shouted. She chased Ben around the living room.
+
+They ran and ran and ran. They bumped into the table and knocked over the lamp. They made a lot of noise and mess.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. She came into the living room and saw the chaos. She was not happy. She took the penguin from Ben and gave it back to Lily. She took the truck from Lily and gave it back to Ben.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the toys? You have to share and be nice to each other. You are brother and sister. You have to love each other," Mom said.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry too. They did not want to fight. They wanted to play and have fun.
+
+"Can I play with your truck?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, you can. And can I play with your penguin?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"Okay, you can. Let's play together," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and hugged and exchanged their toys. They played nicely and happily. Mom smiled and hugged them too. She was proud of them. They learned to share and be nice.
+Lily loved her kitten, Fluffy. She liked to hug him and play with him. She wanted to know how big he was. She saw a big thing in the bathroom that her mom used to weigh herself. She thought she could use it to weigh Fluffy.
+
+She picked up Fluffy and carried him to the bathroom. She put him on the big thing and looked at the numbers. She did not understand what they meant. She tried to make Fluffy stay still, but he did not like it. He squirmed and meowed. He was uncomfortable.
+
+"Fluffy, stop moving! I want to see how big you are!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She came into the bathroom and saw Lily and Fluffy on the scale. She was not happy.
+
+"Mom, I'm weighing Fluffy. He is my kitten and I love him," Lily said.
+
+"Lily, you can't weigh Fluffy like that. He is not a thing, he is a living being. He has feelings and needs. He does not like to be on the scale. He is scared and unhappy. You are hurting him," her mom said.
+
+Lily looked at Fluffy and saw that he was sad. She felt sorry for him. She took him off the scale and hugged him. She said sorry to him and to her mom.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know I was hurting Fluffy. I just wanted to know how big he was. I love him and I don't want him to be sad," Lily said.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I know you love Fluffy, Lily. And he loves you too. But you have to respect his feelings and needs. You can't treat him like a thing. You have to be gentle and kind with him. That's how you show him you love him. And you don't need to know how big he is. He is perfect the way he is."
+
+Lily nodded and kissed Fluffy. She said, "You are right, mom. Fluffy is perfect the way he is. And I will be gentle and kind with him. I love you, Fluffy. And I love you, mom."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But today, Sara is sick. She has a sore throat and a fever. She has to stay in bed.
+
+Ben is sad. He wants to play with Sara. He goes to her room and knocks on the door.
+
+"Can I come in?" he asks.
+
+"No, you can't," says Mom. "Sara needs to rest. You might make her more sick."
+
+"But I miss her," says Ben. "Can I just say hello?"
+
+Mom thinks for a moment. She permits Ben to come in, but only for a little while. She tells him to be quiet and gentle.
+
+Ben opens the door and sees Sara lying on the bed. She looks pale and tired. She has a glass of water and a teddy bear next to her.
+
+"Hi, Sara," says Ben softly. "How are you feeling?"
+
+"Not good," says Sara. "My throat hurts and I'm hot. Mom says the doctor will come soon."
+
+"I'm sorry," says Ben. "I wish you were better. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She doesn't feel like playing. She just wants to sleep.
+
+"Maybe tomorrow," she says. "When I'm better."
+
+Ben nods. He gives Sara a hug and a kiss. He tells her he loves her and hopes she gets well soon.
+
+He leaves the room and closes the door. He goes to the living room and finds some books and toys. He tries to play by himself, but he feels lonely and bored. He misses Sara.
+
+He hopes the doctor will make her better. He hopes they can play together tomorrow. He hopes Sara will be happy again.
+Anna liked to play with coins. She had a big jar of coins that her dad gave her. She liked to count them, sort them, and make them shiny. Sometimes, she liked to do magic tricks with them.
+
+One day, she showed her mom a trick. She held a coin in her hand and said, "Watch, mom. I will make this coin disappear." She closed her hand and opened it again. The coin was gone. "Ta-da!" she said.
+
+Mom clapped and smiled. "Wow, Anna, that's amazing. How did you do that?"
+
+Anna giggled. "It's a secret. But I will tell you. I have another coin in my other hand. See?" She opened her other hand and showed the coin.
+
+Mom nodded. "That's very clever, Anna. But where did the first coin go?"
+
+Anna looked at her hand. It was empty. She looked at the floor. There was no coin. She looked at her jar. It was still full. She frowned. "I don't know, mom. Maybe it really disappeared."
+
+Mom hugged her. "Don't worry, Anna. It's just a coin. Maybe it rolled under the couch or behind the bookshelf. We can look for it later. Do you want a sweet?"
+
+Anna nodded. She liked sweets. They were yummy and made her happy. She forgot about the coin. She took a sweet from mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom kissed her. "You're welcome, Anna. You are the best, too. And you are a great magician."
+Sara and Ben were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars and animals. They had a lot of fun in the sun.
+
+But then the sky became dark and gray. Sara and Ben heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright light. It was lightning. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was rain.
+
+Sara and Ben ran inside their real house. They were wet and scared. They hugged their mom and dad. Mom and dad said it was okay. They said the rain would stop soon. They said they had a surprise for them.
+
+Mom and dad took Sara and Ben to the kitchen. They showed them a big pot on the stove. They said it was a special meal. They said it was soup. They said it was good for rainy days.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the soup. It had carrots and potatoes and noodles and chicken. It smelled good. But it also had something else. It had green things that looked like leaves. Sara and Ben did not like green things. They thought they were weird.
+
+Mom and dad said the green things were herbs. They said they made the soup tasty and healthy. They said they should try them. They said they might like them.
+
+Sara and Ben were not sure. They did not want to eat weird things. But they were hungry and cold. And they wanted to make mom and dad happy. So they took a spoonful of soup. They tasted the carrots and potatoes and noodles and chicken. They tasted the green things too. They were surprised. They did not taste bad. They tasted good.
+
+Sara and Ben smiled. They said the soup was yummy. They said they liked the green things. They said they were not weird. They said they were herbs. They ate their whole meal. They felt warm and cozy.
+
+Mom and dad smiled too. They said they were proud of Sara and Ben. They said they were brave and smart. They said they loved them. They hugged them and kissed them.
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They liked the soup. They liked the herbs. They liked the rain. They liked their mom and dad. They liked their home. They said it was the best rainy day ever.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the forest. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Two paths. One leads to a nice surprise. The other leads to a bad surprise. Choose wisely." Lily and Max were curious and wanted to find out what the surprises were.
+
+Lily said, "Let's go this way. It looks pretty and easy." She pointed to a path that had flowers and butterflies. Max said, "No, let's go that way. It looks exciting and fun." He pointed to a path that had rocks and caves. They argued and could not agree.
+
+A bird was watching them from a tree. He said, "Why are you fighting? You can both choose a path and see what happens. But be careful, some surprises are not what they seem." Lily and Max looked at the bird and said, "Thank you, bird. You are very wise."
+
+Lily chose the pretty and easy path. She walked happily and saw more flowers and butterflies. She also saw a big basket with a bow. She thought it was the nice surprise. She opened the basket and saw a lot of candy. She was very happy and started to eat.
+
+Max chose the exciting and fun path. He walked bravely and saw more rocks and caves. He also saw a big box with a lock. He thought it was the bad surprise. He found a key and opened the box. He saw a lot of toys. He was very surprised and started to play.
+
+After a while, Lily felt sick. She ate too much candy and it was bad for her. She wished she had shared with Max. She also saw that the flowers and butterflies were fake. They were made of paper and plastic. She felt sad and cheated.
+
+After a while, Max felt bored. He played with all the toys and they were not fun. They were broken and old. He wished he had played with Lily. He also saw that the rocks and caves were real. They were dangerous and scary. He felt scared and trapped.
+
+Lily and Max both wanted to go back to the sign and find each other. But they could not. The paths were blocked by thorns and spiders. They cried and called for help. The bird came back and said, "You both chose poorly. You were greedy and rude. You did not listen to each other or to me. You learned a hard lesson. Maybe next time, you will choose wisely."
+
+The bird flew away and left Lily and Max alone. They felt sorry and ashamed. They hoped they would find a way out of the forest. They also hoped they would see each other again. They missed each other and wanted to hug. They learned to be kind and careful. They learned to choose wisely.
+Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make forts with their blankets. They used chairs, pillows and books to hold up the blankets. They crawled inside and pretended they were in a castle.
+
+"Look, I am the king and you are the queen," Max said. He put a paper crown on his head. "We have to protect our castle from the dragon."
+
+"Where is the dragon?" Lily asked. She wore a necklace of beads. "Is it outside?"
+
+Max nodded. He lifted a corner of the blanket and peeked. He saw their dog, Spot, sleeping on the rug. He had a red scarf around his neck. Max thought he looked like a dragon.
+
+"There it is!" Max shouted. He grabbed a toy sword and ran out of the fort. "I will fight the dragon and save you, my queen!"
+
+Lily followed him. She wanted to help. She lifted another blanket and threw it over Spot. She hoped he would not wake up.
+
+But Spot did wake up. He felt something on his back. He jumped and shook his head. The blanket and the scarf fell off. He barked and wagged his tail. He was happy to see Lily and Max.
+
+Lily and Max laughed. They hugged Spot and petted him. They were not afraid of him. He was their friend.
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the blankets, the pillows, the books, the toys, the crown, the necklace, the sword, the scarf and the dog.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. She looked angry.
+
+Lily and Max felt embarrassed. They did not mean to make a mess. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+"We were playing castle and dragon, mom," Lily said.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Max said.
+
+Mom sighed. She smiled a little. She remembered when she was a child and played with blankets too.
+
+"I see," she said. "Well, it's time to clean up. And then you can have a snack. But no more throwing blankets on Spot, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom," Lily and Max said.
+
+They helped mom to tidy the room. They folded the blankets and put them away. They put the toys in the box. They gave Spot a treat. They said sorry to him too.
+
+Then they had a snack. They ate cookies and drank milk. They told mom about their adventure. Mom listened and smiled. She was not angry anymore.
+
+She was glad they had fun. She was proud of their imagination. She loved them very much.
+Lily was a smart girl who liked to learn new things. She had a big book with many pictures and words. Every day, she would read a page and ask her mom what it meant. Her mom was happy to teach her and answer her questions.
+
+One day, Lily saw a picture of a bike in her book. She pointed to it and said, "Mom, what is this?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is a bike, Lily. It is a thing you can ride and move with your feet. It has two wheels and a seat and a handle. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like it. It looks fun. Can I have a bike, Mom?"
+
+Mom hugged her and said, "Maybe, Lily. Bikes are not cheap. They cost many coins. But if you are good and help me with chores, maybe you can receive a bike for your birthday. Your birthday is in two weeks. Do you know what a week is?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "A week is seven days, Mom. You told me before. One day is when the sun is up and the moon is down. Then the sun goes down and the moon comes up. That is one night. Seven days and seven nights make one week. Two weeks is fourteen days and nights. Is that right, Mom?"
+
+Mom kissed her and said, "That is right, Lily. You are very smart. I am proud of you. Now, let's finish reading your book and then we can have a snack. Maybe we can find more things you like in your book."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a lamp on their table. The lamp is red and shiny. It makes light when it is dark.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their blocks. They build a great tower with many colors. They are very happy. They want to show their mom and dad their tower.
+
+"Mom, dad, come and see our tower!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, we are coming!" Mom says.
+
+But before mom and dad can come, Ben has an idea. He wants to make the tower more great. He takes the lamp from the table and puts it on top of the tower.
+
+"Look, Anna, now our tower has a light!" Ben says.
+
+But Anna does not like Ben's idea. She thinks Ben is silly. She thinks the lamp is not a toy. She thinks the lamp can fall and break.
+
+"Ben, no! Take the lamp off the tower! It is not safe!" Anna says.
+
+But Ben does not listen to Anna. He thinks Anna is bossy. He thinks the lamp is fun. He thinks the lamp makes the tower more great.
+
+"Anna, yes! Leave the lamp on the tower! It is cool!" Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben start to argue. They pull and push the tower. They want to have their way. They do not share. They do not care.
+
+The tower starts to shake. The lamp starts to wobble. The blocks start to fall.
+
+CRASH!
+
+The tower falls down. The lamp falls down. The blocks fall down.
+
+The lamp breaks. The light goes out. The room is dark.
+
+Anna and Ben scream. They are scared. They are sad. They are sorry.
+
+Mom and dad hear the scream. They run to the room. They see the mess. They see the broken lamp. They see Anna and Ben.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"We were playing with the tower and the lamp and we had a fight and everything fell down and the lamp broke and we are sorry!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom and dad are not happy. They are angry. They are disappointed. They are worried.
+
+"You should not play with the lamp. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or each other. You should listen to each other. You should share. You should care." Mom and dad say.
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They know they did wrong. They want to make it right.
+
+"We are sorry, mom and dad. We will not play with the lamp again. We will listen to each other. We will share. We will care." Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom and dad hug Anna and Ben. They are still not happy. But they are glad. They are glad that Anna and Ben are safe. They are glad that Anna and Ben are sorry. They are glad that Anna and Ben love each other.
+
+They help Anna and Ben clean up the mess. They throw away the broken lamp. They put away the blocks. They turn on another light.
+
+They read a story to Anna and Ben. They tuck them in bed. They kiss them good night.
+
+They hope Anna and Ben will learn from their mistake. They hope Anna and Ben will have a better day tomorrow. They hope Anna and Ben will always be great.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a big box of toys and they shared them nicely. One day, they found a shiny ring in the box. Lily put it on her finger and said, "Look, Tom, I have a ring. Do you want to marry me?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He took Lily's hand and said, "Yes, I want to marry you. You are my favorite friend. Let's have a wedding." They went to the garden and picked some flowers. They made a crown for Lily and a tie for Tom. They asked Lily's mom to be the priest and Tom's dad to be the witness. They said, "I do" and kissed each other on the cheek.
+
+But then, Lily's big brother Ben came and saw them. He laughed and said, "You are silly. You can't get married. You are too little. And that ring is mine. Give it back." He grabbed the ring from Lily's finger and ran away. Lily and Tom were very upset. They cried and hugged each other. They said, "We are married. We love each other. Ben is mean."
+
+Lily's mom and Tom's dad heard them and came to comfort them. They said, "Don't worry, Lily and Tom. You are very sweet. You can pretend to be married if you want. And we will talk to Ben and get your ring back. He should not take your things. He should say sorry." They wiped their tears and gave them some cookies. They said, "You are good friends. You make us happy." Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Thank you. You are good parents. You make us happy too." They ate their cookies and played some more. They were happy again.
+Lily was troubled. She did not like her new sweater. It was too big and itchy. She wanted to wear her old sweater. The one with the pink flowers and the soft wool. But her mom said no. She said it was too cold and she had to wear the new sweater.
+
+"But I don't like it, Mommy!" Lily said. "It makes me feel bad!"
+
+"Come on, Lily, it's not that bad. It's a nice sweater. Grandma made it for you. She loves you very much. And it will keep you warm when we go outside." Mommy said.
+
+Lily frowned. She did not want to hurt Grandma's feelings. But she did not want to wear the new sweater either. She wished she could wear both sweaters. Then she would be warm and happy.
+
+She had an idea. She ran to her room and got her old sweater. She put it on under the new sweater. She felt better. She smiled.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I'm wearing both sweaters!" Lily said.
+
+Mommy looked at her. She saw the pink flowers peeking out from the new sweater. She shook her head. She was a little annoyed. But she also thought Lily was clever and cute.
+
+"Okay, Lily, you can wear both sweaters. But don't tell Grandma, okay? She might be sad if she knew you don't like her sweater." Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy, I won't tell. Thank you, Mommy. I love you." Lily said.
+
+She hugged Mommy. She felt warm and happy. She was not troubled anymore.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks and dolls. They have a mom and a dad who love them. Mom and dad work hard to give them food and toys and hugs.
+
+One day, mom and dad say they have to go away for a long time. They say they have to help other people who are sick and sad. They say they will call and write and come back soon. They say Lila and Ben have to be brave and support each other. They say they have a grandma who will take care of them.
+
+Lila and Ben are scared and sad. They do not want mom and dad to go away. They cry and hug mom and dad and say please do not go. Mom and dad say they are sorry and they love them very much. They say goodbye and leave.
+
+Lila and Ben go with grandma to her house. Grandma is nice but old and tired. She does not play with them or read to them or sing to them. She gives them food and clothes and a bed. She says they have to be quiet and good and not make trouble.
+
+Lila and Ben miss mom and dad a lot. They do not like grandma's house. They do not have any friends or toys or fun. They only have each other. They try to support each other and be brave. But they are lonely and unhappy.
+
+One day, they get a letter from mom and dad. They are excited and hopeful. They open the letter and read it. The letter says mom and dad are not coming back. The letter says they are sorry and they love them very much. The letter says they have to stay with grandma forever.
+
+Lila and Ben are shocked and heartbroken. They do not understand why mom and dad are not coming back. They do not want to stay with grandma forever. They cry and scream and throw the letter away. They say they hate mom and dad and grandma and everything. They say they have no one to support them or love them. They say they wish they were dead.
+Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a dream about a big black mask. The mask had two holes for eyes and a long nose. It was scary and made a loud noise. Lily wanted to run away, but she could not move.
+
+Then she heard a voice. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, wake up. It's time for school. You had a bad dream, but it's over now."
+
+Lily opened her eyes and saw her mom. She hugged her and said, "Mom, I saw a black mask. It was scary. What was it?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "It was just a mask, Lily. It's not real. It's something people wear for fun or to hide their face. Do you remember when we went to the store and saw masks for Halloween?"
+
+Lily nodded. She remembered the masks. Some were funny, some were pretty, and some were scary. She said, "Yes, I remember. But why did I dream about a black mask?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sometimes we dream about things that we see or hear or think about. Maybe you saw a black mask somewhere, or maybe you heard a story about it, or maybe you just imagined it. Dreams are not real, Lily. They are just pictures in your head."
+
+Lily felt better. She said, "OK, mom. I understand. Can I have breakfast now?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. Let's go downstairs and have some cereal and milk. And don't worry about the black mask. It can't hurt you."
+
+Lily got out of her bed and followed her mom. She was not scared anymore. She was hungry and happy. She hoped to have a good day at school. And she hoped to have a nice dream tonight.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the forest. They find a big log near the river. They climb on the log and pretend it is a boat. They sing songs and wave to the fish.
+
+But the sun is very hot and harsh. It makes them sweat and thirsty. They want to bathe in the river and cool down. They jump off the log and splash in the water. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But they forget to watch the log. The log floats away with the current. They look for the log and see it far away. They are sad and scared. They lose their boat.
+
+They call for help. A nice man hears them and comes with his canoe. He helps them get on the canoe and paddles to the log. He ties the log to the canoe and brings them back to the shore. He gives them water and cookies.
+
+Tim and Mia thank the nice man. They hug the log and say sorry. They learn to be careful and not leave their boat. They are happy and safe.
+Tommy loved motorcycles. He had a toy motorcycle that he played with every day. He made vroom-vroom noises and pretended to ride fast. He was very enthusiastic about motorcycles.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a real motorcycle parked outside his house. It was big and shiny and had a loud horn. Tommy wanted to touch it and sit on it. He ran to the motorcycle and climbed on it. He felt very happy and excited.
+
+But the motorcycle was not his. It belonged to a man who was visiting his neighbor. The man saw Tommy on his motorcycle and got very angry. He shouted at Tommy and told him to get off. He grabbed Tommy by the arm and pulled him down. Tommy was scared and hurt. He started to cry and struggle.
+
+Tommy's mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw Tommy crying and the man yelling. She ran to Tommy and hugged him. She told the man to leave him alone. She said Tommy was only a little boy and did not know better. She said she was sorry for the trouble.
+
+The man did not listen. He was still angry and rude. He said Tommy had scratched his motorcycle and he wanted money. He said he would call the police if Tommy's mom did not pay him. He said he did not care about Tommy or his mom.
+
+Tommy's mom did not have money. She was poor and worked hard. She did not know what to do. She felt very sad and scared. She wished the man would go away and leave them alone. She wished Tommy had never seen the motorcycle. She wished they could be happy again.
+Tom and Anna were twins who lived on a big ranch with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the horses, cows, and chickens, and help with the chores. They also liked to explore the ranch and look for new things.
+
+One day, they found a big hill behind the barn that they had never seen before. They decided to climb it and see what was on the other side. They put on their hats and boots and started to walk up the hill. It was hard and steep, but they kept going.
+
+When they reached the top, they saw something that made them gasp. It was a huge lake with blue water and green trees. They had never seen a lake before. It looked so pretty and shiny. They ran down the hill to get closer to the lake. They wanted to touch the water and see the fish.
+
+They reached the edge of the lake and dipped their fingers in the water. It was cold and wet. They saw some fish swimming and some ducks quacking. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They felt like they had found a secret place.
+
+They stayed by the lake for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them for lunch. They ran back up the hill and down the other side. They told their mom and dad about the lake they had found. Their mom and dad smiled and said they were proud of them for being brave and curious. They said the lake was a special part of the ranch that they wanted to reveal to them when they were older. But they were happy that they had discovered it by themselves. They said the lake was not regular, but very special. Tom and Anna agreed. They hugged their mom and dad and said they loved the ranch and the lake. They said they wanted to go back to the lake soon and play some more.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep as they move them on the floor. Sometimes they have races to see which car is faster.
+
+One day, they see a new car on the shelf. It is shiny and red, with big wheels and a spoiler. They have never seen it before. They wonder who put it there. They want to play with it.
+
+They take the car and put it on the floor. They push it and it goes very fast. It is faster than any of their other cars. They are happy and excited. They take turns to drive it and make it go around the room.
+
+But then, something strange happens. The car starts to glow and make a loud noise. It shakes and spins. Anna and Ben are scared and surprised. They back away from the car.
+
+Suddenly, the car changes. It grows bigger and bigger, until it is as big as a real car. It has doors and windows and lights. It looks like a spaceship. A door opens and a voice says, "Hello, children. I am Zee, a friendly alien. I came to visit your planet and learn about your toys. Do you want to come with me for a ride?"
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed and curious. They look at each other and nod. They go inside the car-spaceship and buckle up. Zee is gentle and kind. He tells them stories about his home and shows them pictures on a screen. He drives them around the sky and shows them the stars and the moon. They have a lot of fun.
+
+After a while, Zee says, "It is time to go back. I have to return to my planet. Thank you for playing with me and sharing your toys. You are very nice children. Maybe I will come back someday."
+
+He lands the car-spaceship on the floor and shrinks it back to its toy size. He gives it to Anna and Ben and says, "This is a gift for you. You can keep it and play with it. It will always remember me and you. Goodbye, my friends."
+
+He waves and disappears. Anna and Ben wave back and hug the car. They are happy and sad. They have a new toy and a new friend, but they will miss him. They put the car on the shelf and say, "Thank you, Zee. We hope to see you again."
+Anna loved to play with her toy car. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. She liked to zoom it around the floor and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom!
+
+One day, she saw a beautiful rose in the garden. It was pink and soft and smelled nice. She wanted to pick it and give it to her mommy. She ran to the rose with her toy car in her hand.
+
+But she did not see the thorns on the stem. They were sharp and prickly and hurt her fingers. Ouch, ouch, ouch! She dropped her toy car and cried. The rose fell to the ground too.
+
+Mommy heard her cry and came to help her. She hugged her and kissed her fingers. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. The rose is beautiful, but it has thorns. You have to be careful when you touch it."
+
+She picked up the rose and the toy car and gave them to Anna. She said, "Here, you can have both. The rose is for you, and the toy car is for me. We can share and play together."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you and I love the rose and the toy car. They are both beautiful."
+
+She zoomed the toy car around the rose and made happy noises. Beep, beep, beep!
+Lily and Max were playing at the beach. They liked to build castles with sand and shells. They also liked to splash in the water and chase the waves.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big castle!" Max said, pointing to his sand creation. "It has a tower and a door and a flag."
+
+"Wow, Max, your castle is very nice!" Lily said, admiring his work. "Can I help you decorate it?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Let's find some more shells and stones and seaweed."
+
+They ran along the shore, looking for pretty things to put on their castle. They found some shiny shells, some smooth stones, and some green seaweed. They also saw a small crab crawling on the sand.
+
+"Look, Max, a crab!" Lily said, pointing to the creature. "It has claws and eyes and legs. It is adorable!"
+
+"Be careful, Lily, it might pinch you!" Max said, warning her. "Let's leave it alone and let it go home."
+
+They decided not to touch the crab, but to watch it from a distance. They saw it dig a hole in the sand and hide inside. They smiled and waved goodbye to the crab.
+
+They went back to their castle and added the shells, stones, and seaweed to it. They made it look very pretty and colorful. They were very proud of their castle.
+
+"Let's show our castle to Mommy and Daddy!" Lily said, excited. "They will love it!"
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's go!" Max said, agreeing. "But first, we have to wash our hands and feet. They are dirty from the sand and the water."
+
+They ran to the water and washed their hands and feet. They rubbed them with their towels and dried them. They put on their shoes and held hands.
+
+They walked to their parents, who were sitting on a blanket under an umbrella. They showed them their castle and told them about their adventure.
+
+Mommy and Daddy hugged them and praised them. They said their castle was beautiful and their story was amazing. They said they were very happy and proud of them.
+
+Lily and Max smiled and hugged them back. They said they loved them very much. They had a wonderful day at the beach.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the train set. They can make the train go fast or slow, and stop at different places. They pretend the places are real, like the zoo, the park, or the school.
+
+One day, they decide to make a new place for the train. They use a big box and some paper. They cut out windows and doors, and draw pictures on the paper. They glue the paper to the box, and make a fake house. They are very proud of their work.
+
+"Look, we made a house for the train!" Tom says to Anna.
+
+"Yes, it is very nice. Let's put it on the track, and see how it looks." Anna says.
+
+They lift the box and place it on the track. They turn on the train, and watch it go around. The train stops at the fake house, and they hear a sound.
+
+"Hello, who is there?" a voice says from the box.
+
+Tom and Anna are surprised. They look at each other, and wonder who is in the box.
+
+"Hello, we are Tom and Anna. We made this house for the train. Who are you?" Tom says.
+
+"I am Max, the mouse. I live in this box. Thank you for providing me with a nice house. It is much better than the old one." the voice says.
+
+Tom and Anna are happy to meet Max. They ask him if he wants to play with them and the train. Max says yes, and comes out of the box. He is a small, gray mouse, with a long tail and bright eyes. He is very friendly and funny.
+
+Tom, Anna, and Max become good friends. They play with the train and the fake house every day. They have a lot of fun, and learn new things from each other. They are very glad they made the fake house, because it gave them a new place to play, and a new friend to share.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big nation with many houses and roads and trees. They worked hard and used all the blocks they had.
+
+"Look, our nation is complete!" Lily said. "It is so clear and pretty. Do you like it, Ben?"
+
+"Yes, I like it, Lily. But I want to make it bigger. Let's use some of the blocks from that other nation." Ben said. He pointed to a pile of blocks that belonged to Tom and Mia, who were playing on the other side of the room.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't do that. Those are their blocks. They will be mad at us." Lily said. She did not want to make Tom and Mia sad.
+
+"But I want to make our nation bigger. It will be more fun. Come on, Lily, they won't notice." Ben said. He grabbed some of the blocks from Tom and Mia's nation and added them to his and Lily's nation.
+
+"Ben, stop! That is not nice. Give them back!" Lily said. She tried to take the blocks from Ben, but he held them tight.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom said. He saw Ben and Lily messing with his and Mia's nation. He ran over to them, followed by Mia.
+
+"Those are our blocks! You can't take them!" Mia said. She was angry and sad. She liked her nation a lot.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, we were just playing." Ben said. He let go of the blocks and ran away. He was scared of Tom and Mia.
+
+Lily felt bad. She helped Tom and Mia fix their nation. She said sorry to them and gave them a hug.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. We forgive you. But don't take our blocks again, okay?" Tom said.
+
+"Okay, Tom. I won't. Can we be friends?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, we can be friends. Do you want to play with us?" Mia said.
+
+"Yes, I do. Thank you." Lily said. She smiled and joined Tom and Mia. They played with their nations and had fun.
+Ben did not like gloomy days. He wanted to play outside with his ball and his bike, but the sky was gray and the rain was wet. He felt sad and bored in his room. He did not want to read his books or draw his pictures. He wanted to go out.
+
+His mom came to his room and saw his face. She smiled and hugged him. She said, "I know you don't like gloomy days, Ben. But they are part of life. Sometimes we have to accept things we don't like and find ways to have fun anyway. Do you want to help me bake some cookies in the kitchen? We can make them with chocolate and nuts and eat them with milk."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He still wanted to play outside, but he also liked cookies and milk. He liked helping his mom in the kitchen. He liked the smell of the oven and the taste of the dough. He nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will help you bake some cookies. Maybe the sun will come out later."
+
+His mom kissed his cheek and said, "That's a good boy, Ben. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some fun. Maybe we can share some cookies with our neighbors too. They might also feel gloomy on this day."
+
+Ben followed his mom to the kitchen. He put on his apron and washed his hands. He helped his mom measure the ingredients and mix the batter. He used a spoon to drop the dough on the baking sheet. He watched the cookies bake in the oven. He smelled the chocolate and the nuts. He felt happy and warm. He accepted the gloomy day and made the best of it. He learned that sometimes, cookies and mom can make any day better.
+Lila and Tom were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lila had a big shield made of cardboard and Tom had a long stick for a sword. They pretended to fight the dragon, which was a big bush with red flowers.
+
+"Roar!" Tom shouted, waving his stick. "I am the brave knight, and I will save the princess!"
+
+"Help, help!" Lila cried, hiding behind her shield. "The dragon is too scary!"
+
+Tom ran towards the bush and poked it with his stick. The bush shook and some flowers fell off. Tom smiled and said, "I did it! I defeated the dragon!"
+
+Lila peeked from behind her shield and saw the flowers on the ground. She felt sad and angry. She liked the flowers, they were pretty and delicate. She thought Tom was mean for hurting them.
+
+"Tom, you are a bad knight!" she yelled. "You made the dragon lose its flowers! They were its treasure!"
+
+Tom looked at Lila and frowned. He did not understand why she was mad. He thought he was playing a fun game. He said, "Lila, don't be silly. It's just a bush, not a real dragon. And the flowers are not treasure, they are just flowers. You can pick more if you want."
+
+Lila shook her head and said, "No, Tom, you are wrong. The bush is a real dragon, and the flowers are its treasure. They are special and beautiful. You should not hurt them. You should say sorry to the dragon."
+
+Tom thought Lila was being silly and stubborn. He did not want to say sorry to a bush. He said, "Lila, you are being silly and stubborn. I don't want to say sorry to a bush. It's just a game, not real. Come on, let's play something else."
+
+Lila did not want to play with Tom anymore. She was still sad and angry. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to play with you anymore. You are not a good friend. You are not a good knight. You are a bad dragon. Go away!"
+
+Lila turned around and walked away, holding her shield. Tom watched her go and felt confused and hurt. He did not know what he did wrong. He wanted to play with Lila, but she did not want to play with him. He wished she would nod and smile and be his friend again. He wished they could play knights and dragons again, but without hurting the flowers. He wished he could say sorry to the bush, and to Lila. He wished he could be a good knight, and a good friend.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to go to the library. The library has many books. Some books have pictures. Some books have stories. Lily and Tom like to look at the books.
+
+One day, they see a new book. The book has a furry cover. The cover is brown and soft. Lily and Tom want to touch the book. They ask the library lady.
+
+"Can we see this book, please?" Lily says.
+
+"Of course, you can. This is a special book. It is about a furry friend. His name is Bow. He is a dog. He likes to play and help people. Do you want to hear his story?" the library lady says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom says.
+
+The library lady opens the book. She shows them the pictures. She reads them the story. Lily and Tom listen. They see Bow do many things. He runs, he jumps, he barks, he digs, he fetches, he cuddles. He is a good dog. He makes people happy.
+
+Lily and Tom like Bow. They smile and clap. They say thank you to the library lady. They say goodbye to Bow. They give him a hug. Bow wags his tail. He licks their faces. He bows to them. He is a polite dog. Lily and Tom laugh. They are happy. They love the furry book.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the backyard. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a house. They cut out windows and a door with scissors. They drew flowers and trees on the walls with crayons.
+
+"Let's pretend we are a family," Sara said. "You can be the dad and I can be the mom. And this is our baby." She held up a stuffed bear.
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But what do we do?"
+
+"We can make dinner and read stories and sing songs," Sara said. She knelt down and opened the cardboard door. "Come on, baby, let's go inside."
+
+Tom followed her with a restless look. He did not like playing house. He liked playing cars and rockets and dinosaurs. He wished he had his toy truck with him.
+
+Sara set the bear on a pillow and pretended to feed it with a spoon. She made cooing noises and smiled. "Isn't he cute?" she asked Tom.
+
+Tom nodded, but he was bored. He looked around the cardboard house. He saw a hole in the roof. He had an idea.
+
+"Hey, Sara, look!" he said. He grabbed the bear and threw it up through the hole. "The baby can fly!"
+
+Sara gasped and looked up. She saw the bear flying in the air and landing on the grass. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, that's not nice!" she said. "You can't throw the baby like that. He could get hurt."
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not care. He ran out of the cardboard house and picked up the bear. He threw it again and again, laughing.
+
+Sara ran after him and tried to get the bear back. She yelled and cried. Tom did not listen. He kept throwing the bear.
+
+They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the window. She saw them fighting and decided to intervene. She came out of the door and called their names.
+
+"Sara, Tom, stop that right now!" she said. "What are you doing?"
+
+They stopped and looked at her. They both tried to explain.
+
+"Sara, Tom, I don't want to hear it," mom said. "You need to share and play nicely. And you need to respect each other's toys. Tom, you can't throw Sara's bear. And Sara, you can't force Tom to play house. You have to find something you both like."
+
+She took the bear from Tom and gave it to Sara. She hugged them both and said, "I love you, but you need to behave. Now, why don't you try to make up and play something else?"
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry for making mom angry and for hurting each other's feelings. They said sorry and hugged.
+
+"OK, mom," they said. "We'll try to play something else."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Good. I'm glad. How about you use the cardboard box as a spaceship? You can pretend to go to the moon and see the stars."
+
+Sara and Tom liked that idea. They agreed to play spaceship. They took the cardboard box and decorated it with stickers and glitter. They put on helmets and gloves and got inside. They made beeping and zooming noises and pretended to blast off.
+
+Mom watched them from the window. She was happy to see them playing together and having fun. She went back to the kitchen and made them some cookies. She hoped they would stay friends and not fight again.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They saw a big tree with many leaves. The tree was very old and tall.
+
+"Look, Sam, a big tree!" Mia said.
+
+"Yes, it is big. Do you think it is ancient?" Sam asked.
+
+"What is ancient?" Mia wondered.
+
+"Ancient means very, very old. Older than you and me and mommy and daddy. Older than the park and the houses and the cars. Maybe older than the sun and the moon and the stars," Sam explained.
+
+"Wow, that is very old. How do you know it is ancient?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know. I just hear people say it. Maybe we can ask the tree," Sam said.
+
+They went closer to the tree and touched its bark. It was rough and hard. They looked up and saw its branches and leaves. They were green and brown.
+
+"Hello, tree. Are you ancient?" Sam asked.
+
+The tree did not answer. It just stood still and quiet.
+
+"Maybe it cannot hear us. Maybe it cannot talk. Maybe it is sleeping," Mia said.
+
+"Or maybe it does not want to answer our question. Maybe it has a secret. Maybe it knows something we don't," Sam said.
+
+They wondered what the tree knew. They wondered what the tree saw. They wondered what the tree felt. They decided to sit under the tree and listen. Maybe the tree would whisper to them. Maybe the tree would tell them a story. Maybe the tree would be their friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Anna has a birthday. She gets many gifts from her family and friends. She is very happy.
+
+Ben comes to her party. He brings a gift for Anna. It is a small ball. Anna opens the gift. She looks at the ball. She does not like it. She thinks it is a bad gift. She says to Ben, "This is a bad gift. I do not want it. Go away!"
+
+Ben feels sad. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I tried to find a good gift for you. But I do not have much money. I only have this ball. I thought you would like to play with it."
+
+Anna does not listen. She throws the ball away. She plays with her other gifts. Ben goes away. He cries.
+
+Later, Anna's mom sees the ball. She picks it up. She says to Anna, "Who gave you this ball? It is a nice gift. It is a magic ball. If you bounce it three times, it will make a wish come true."
+
+Anna is surprised. She says, "Really? A magic ball? Who gave it to me?"
+
+Her mom says, "Ben gave it to you. He is your friend. He wanted to make you happy. But you were rude to him. You hurt his feelings. That is not nice."
+
+Anna feels sorry. She says, "Oh, no. I was bad to Ben. I want to say sorry to him. I want to play with him. And I want to share the magic ball with him."
+
+Her mom says, "That is good, Anna. You should be kind to your friends. And you should be grateful for their gifts. They are more important than things. Now, go and find Ben. And tell him how you feel."
+
+Anna nods. She takes the ball. She runs to find Ben. She hopes he will forgive her. And she hopes they can play with the magic ball together.
+Ben and Lily were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They were very happy to see the animals. Mom said they could choose one animal to see first. Ben wanted to see the lions, and Lily wanted to see the monkeys.
+
+"Let's see the lions first," Ben said. "They are big and strong and loud."
+
+"No, let's see the monkeys first," Lily said. "They are funny and smart and jump a lot."
+
+Mom and Dad looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They saw a man who worked at the zoo. He had a hat and a badge. He looked wise.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Dad said. "Can you recommend which animal we should see first?"
+
+The man smiled. He said, "Well, both the lions and the monkeys are very interesting. But if you want to see them well, you need to find a good seat. The lions like to nap in the shade, so you need to go to the right side of their cage. The monkeys like to play in the sun, so you need to go to the left side of their cage. If you go to the wrong side, you might not see them at all."
+
+"Thank you, sir," Mom said. "That is very helpful."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They decided to be nice and take turns. Ben said, "OK, Lily, you can choose first. We will see the monkeys and then the lions."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. We will see the lions and then the monkeys."
+
+They followed the man's advice and found good seats. They saw the monkeys and the lions very well. They had a lot of fun at the zoo.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a big toy car. Ben wants to drive it, but Lily wants to push it. They pull and tug on the car, and make loud noises.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! It's my turn!" Lily shouts.
+
+"No, it's mine! You had it before!" Ben yells.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees the twins and the toy car. She is not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what are you doing? You are making a big mess and a lot of noise. You need to share the toy car, or I will separate you!" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Lily look at Mom. They do not want to be separated. They like to be together, even when they fight. They stop pulling and tugging on the car.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We will share the toy car." Ben says.
+
+"Me too. Sorry, Mom. We will take turns." Lily says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She is glad they are sorry and they will share. She gives them each a kiss on the thumb. They like that. It makes them feel better.
+
+"Good. I love you, Ben and Lily. You are my twins, and you are very special. But sometimes you are also very crazy!" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Lily giggle. They know Mom is joking. They love Mom, too. They are happy. They play with the toy car together, and do not fight anymore.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see many animals on the farm. They see pigs, chickens, horses and cows.
+
+One day, they want to feed the cows. They take some hay from the barn. They walk to the field where the cows are. They see a big cow with black spots. They think the cow is nice.
+
+"Hello, cow," Tom says. "We have some hay for you. Do you want some?"
+
+The cow looks at Tom and Sue. The cow does not want hay. The cow is angry. The cow makes a loud noise. The cow runs at Tom and Sue.
+
+"Run, run!" Sue says. "The cow is terrible. The cow wants to hurt us."
+
+Tom and Sue hurry. They drop the hay. They run back to the barn. They are scared. They close the door. They hear the cow outside. The cow hits the door with its head.
+
+"Go away, cow!" Tom says. "You are not nice. You are mean."
+
+The cow does not go away. The cow makes more noise. Tom and Sue hug each other. They hope the cow will stop.
+
+Soon, they hear another noise. They hear a voice. They hear the farmer.
+
+"Hey, cow, what are you doing?" the farmer says. "You are not supposed to chase the children. You are supposed to be calm. Come on, cow, follow me. I have some corn for you."
+
+The cow stops hitting the door. The cow follows the farmer. The farmer takes the cow to another field. The farmer gives the cow some corn. The cow eats the corn. The cow is happy.
+
+Tom and Sue open the door. They see the farmer. They see the cow.
+
+"Are you okay, children?" the farmer says. "I'm sorry about the cow. The cow is not usually terrible. The cow was just scared. The cow thought you were strangers. The cow did not know you were my friends."
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They are okay. They are not hurt. They are still scared.
+
+"Can we go home now?" Sue says. "We don't want to play with the cow anymore."
+
+"Of course, you can," the farmer says. "I'll take you home. You can play with the other animals another day. They are not terrible. They are nice."
+
+Tom and Sue thank the farmer. They get in the farmer's truck. They wave goodbye to the cow. The cow waves back with its tail. Tom and Sue go home. They tell their parents about the cow. They say the cow was terrible. They say they will not feed the cow again. They say they will feed the pigs, the chickens and the horses instead. They say they like the farm. They say they like the farmer. They say they like their friend. They say they are brave.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks in the yard. Tom has a big red truck. Sam has a small blue truck. They make vroom-vroom noises and drive their trucks on the grass.
+
+One day, Tom sees a new truck in the trash. It is yellow and shiny, but it does not work. Tom wants the new truck. He runs to the trash and grabs it.
+
+"Look, Sam, I found a new truck!" Tom says.
+
+Sam follows Tom and sees the yellow truck. He is curious. He tries to push a button on the truck, but nothing happens.
+
+"Tom, this truck is dead. It does not vroom-vroom. It does not move. It is no fun." Sam says.
+
+Tom does not care. He likes the yellow truck. He thinks it is pretty.
+
+"I don't care, Sam. I like this truck. It is mine. I will keep it." Tom says.
+
+Sam is sad. He does not want to play with Tom anymore. He takes his blue truck and goes to the other side of the yard. He plays by himself.
+
+Tom is happy. He hugs his yellow truck and smiles. He does not notice that Sam is gone. He does not notice that the yellow truck is dead. He only notices that he has a new truck. He thinks he is lucky.
+Tom and Mia liked to play in the old house. The old house had many rooms and things to see. Some things were ancient, like the big clock and the dusty books. Some things were new, like the shiny toys and the colorful paintings.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia found a big box in the attic. The box had a label that said "missile". Tom and Mia did not know what a missile was, but it looked like a long metal stick with a pointy end. They thought it was a toy.
+
+"Let's play with the missile!" Tom said. "We can pretend it is a rocket and fly to the moon!"
+
+"Okay!" Mia said. "But we need to gather some things first. We need a helmet, a suit, and a backpack."
+
+Tom and Mia ran around the attic and gathered some things. They found a pot, a coat, and a bag. They put them on and said they were ready to fly.
+
+They lifted the missile and carried it to the window. They opened the window and looked outside. They saw the blue sky, the white clouds, and the bright sun.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tom said. He pushed the missile out of the window.
+
+But the missile was not a toy. It was a real missile. It had a button on the side that Tom pressed by accident. The missile made a loud noise and a big fire. It flew away very fast and very far.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They dropped the pot, the coat, and the bag. They ran away from the window and hid under a blanket.
+
+"What was that?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "But I think we should not play with the missile anymore."
+Anna and Ben love to dance. They dance in the morning, they dance in the afternoon, they dance at night. They have a big dance show tomorrow. They are very ready.
+
+But there is a problem. They need a supply of music. They have a CD player, but they do not have any CDs. They ask their mom and dad, but they do not have any CDs either. They ask their friends, but they do not have any CDs either. They are sad and worried. How can they dance without music?
+
+They think and think. They have an idea. They can make their own music. They find some pots and pans, some spoons and forks, some bells and whistles. They bang and clang, they tap and rap, they ring and sing. They make a lot of noise. They are happy and excited. They have a supply of music.
+

+Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a long trunk. Tim says, "Let's play tag around the tree!" Mia says, "OK, you are it!"
+
+Tim runs after Mia. They go around the tree many times. They laugh and shout. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tim feels dizzy. He stops and holds his head. He says, "I feel sick. I need to sit down." Mia stops too. She says, "Me too. We went too fast."
+
+They sit on the grass and rest. They look at the tree. The tree is still. It does not feel dizzy. It stands tall and strong.
+
+Tim says, "The tree is smart. It does not run around. It stays in one place." Mia says, "Yes, the tree is smart. And it gives us shade and air. We should thank the tree."
+
+They get up and hug the tree. They say, "Thank you, tree, for being our friend." The tree does not say anything. But it seems to smile.

+
+Then, Mia sees a card that she does not know. It has a chubby animal with a long nose and big ears. It is gray and has a tail.
+
+"What is this, Ben? Do you know?" Mia asks, pointing to the card.
+
+Ben looks at the card. He thinks for a moment. He remembers seeing a picture of that animal in a book.
+
+"That is an elephant, Mia. It is very big and smart. It can spray water with its nose. Pshh!" Ben says, making a spraying sound.
+
+"Wow, an elephant! It is funny and cool. I like it. Can I have it, Ben?" Mia asks, smiling.
+

+
+"Wow, what a nice song!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says.
+
+The bird stops singing and says, "Thank you. I like to sing. Singing makes me happy. Do you know what else makes me happy? Sharing. Sharing is good. When you share, you have more fun and more friends. Why don't you share the ball and play together?"
+
+Lily and Ben think about what the bird says. They feel sorry for fighting.
+
+"You are right, bird. Sharing is good. I'm sorry, Ben. You can have the ball first." Lily says.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Lily. You can have the ball first." Ben says.

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They play together every day.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big teddy bear. It has soft fur and a red bow. Lily wants the teddy bear. She thinks it is very cute. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says no. She says Lily has enough toys.
+
+Lily is sad. She goes to Ben's house. She sees Ben playing with his car. He makes it zoom and beep. Lily thinks the car is very cool. She asks Ben to trade with her.

+Lily was a clever bird who liked to fly high in the sky. She loved to look for shiny things to decorate her nest. One day, she saw a bright light in the grass. She flew down to see what it was.
+
+She found a beautiful gem that sparkled like a rainbow. She was very happy and picked it up with her beak. She wanted to show it to her friends.
+
+But then she heard a loud roar. It was a big lion who also saw the gem. He wanted to take it from Lily. He ran towards her and said, "Give me that gem, little bird. It is mine!"
+
+Lily was scared, but she was also clever. She had an idea. She said to the lion, "This gem is not for you, big lion. It is for the king of the birds. He is very strong and brave. He will be angry if you take it."
+
+The lion stopped and looked at Lily. He did not want to make the king of the birds angry. He said, "Who is the king of the birds? Where is he?"
+
+Lily pointed to the sky and said, "He is up there, in the clouds. He is the eagle. He has big wings and sharp claws. He can see everything. He is watching us right now."
+
+The lion looked up and saw a dark shape in the clouds. He thought it was the eagle. He was afraid and said, "I am sorry, little bird. I did not know. You can keep the gem. I will go away."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, big lion. You are very kind. Goodbye." She flew away with the gem and went back to her nest. She was very proud of her clever trick. She showed the gem to her friends and they all admired it. She was the happiest bird in the sky.
+Lily liked to follow her dad to the big water. He was a sailor and he had a boat. He let Lily sit on the boat and watch the fish and the birds. Lily liked the boat, but she did not like the sour smell of the water. It made her nose wrinkle.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big yellow ball in the water. She pointed at it and said, "Dad, what is that?"
+
+Dad looked and smiled. He said, "That is a lemon, Lily. Someone must have dropped it from another boat. Do you want to taste it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked yellow things. Dad picked up the lemon and cut a slice. He gave it to Lily and said, "Be careful, it is very sour."
+
+Lily put the lemon in her mouth and bit it. She made a funny face and spit it out. She said, "Yuck! That is not good. That is too sour."
+
+Dad laughed and hugged her. He said, "I told you, it is very sour. But it is good for you. It helps you stay healthy and strong, like a sailor."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I want to be a sailor, like you, Dad. But I don't want to eat lemons. Can I have something sweet instead?"
+
+Dad said, "Of course, Lily. I have some cookies in my bag. Do you want one?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. I love cookies. They are not sour. They are yummy."
+
+Dad gave her a cookie and they shared it. They watched the water and the lemon and the fish and the birds. Lily was happy. She liked to follow her dad to the big water. He was a sailor and he had a boat. And he had cookies.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with a switch. The switch can turn on and off a light.
+
+Tom says, "I will hide the switch. You have to guess where it is. If you guess right, you can turn on the light. If you guess wrong, you have to try again."
+
+Lily says, "OK, I will play. You hide the switch. I will close my eyes."
+
+Tom hides the switch under a pillow. He says, "OK, I am done. You can open your eyes. Where is the switch?"
+
+Lily looks around. She sees the pillow. She thinks, "Maybe the switch is under the pillow. But maybe Tom is tricky. Maybe he put the switch somewhere else."
+
+She says, "Is the switch under the pillow?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, you are right. You can turn on the light."
+
+Lily is happy. She lifts the pillow and finds the switch. She pushes the switch and the light turns on. She says, "Yay, I did it!"
+
+Tom says, "You are good at guessing. Now it is my turn. You hide the switch. I will close my eyes."
+
+Lily says, "OK, I will hide the switch. But I will be more tricky than you. You will not guess where it is."
+
+She takes the switch and runs to the kitchen. She puts the switch in the fridge. She says, "OK, I am done. You can open your eyes. Where is the switch?"
+
+Tom opens his eyes. He looks around. He sees the pillow. He thinks, "Maybe Lily put the switch under the pillow again. But maybe she is tricky. Maybe she put the switch somewhere else."
+
+He says, "Is the switch under the pillow?"
+
+Lily says, "No, you are wrong. You have to try again."
+
+Tom is confused. He says, "Where is the switch? Is it in the toy box? Is it in the closet? Is it under the bed?"
+
+Lily says, "No, no, no. You are wrong, wrong, wrong. You are not good at guessing. You are lazy. You have to look harder."
+
+Tom is tired. He says, "I give up. Where is the switch?"
+
+Lily says, "The switch is in the fridge. Ha ha, I am so tricky. You will never guess that."
+
+Tom says, "The fridge? That is not fair. That is not a good place to hide the switch. The switch is for the light, not for the food."
+
+Lily says, "It is fair. It is a good place to hide the switch. It is cold and dark in the fridge. You will not think of that."
+
+Tom says, "I do not like this game. You are too tricky. I want to play something else."
+
+Lily says, "OK, OK. We can play something else. But you have to get the switch from the fridge. I do not want to get it. It is too cold and dark in there."
+
+Tom says, "Fine. I will get the switch. But you have to help me. It is too cold and dark for me too."
+
+Lily says, "OK, OK. We can help each other. But we have to be quick. We do not want to waste the cold and the dark in the fridge. We want to save it for the food."
+
+They go to the kitchen. They open the fridge. They see the switch. They grab the switch. They close the fridge. They run back to the living room. They turn on the light. They say, "We did it!"
+
+They are happy. They play something else. They forget about the switch. They forget about the game. They have fun.
+Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat a sandwich. Mom made two sandwiches for them. One had cheese and ham. The other had peanut butter and jelly.
+
+"Which sandwich do you want, Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"I want the cheese and ham one," Lily said.
+
+"OK, then Max can have the peanut butter and jelly one," Mom said.
+
+She put the sandwiches on a plate and gave it to Lily. Lily took the plate and walked to the table. She put the plate on the table and sat down. She picked up the cheese and ham sandwich and took a big bite.
+
+Max followed Lily to the table. He saw the peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the plate. He did not like peanut butter and jelly. He wanted the cheese and ham sandwich.
+
+"Can I have your sandwich, Lily?" Max asked.
+
+"No, this is my sandwich. You have your own sandwich," Lily said.
+
+"But I don't like peanut butter and jelly. I like cheese and ham," Max said.
+
+"Too bad. Mom gave you that sandwich. You have to eat it," Lily said.
+
+Max was sad. He looked at the cheese and ham sandwich. It looked so yummy. He wanted to taste it. He reached for the sandwich. He tried to grab it from Lily's hand.
+
+"Hey, stop it! That's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+She pulled the sandwich away from Max. She held it tight. She did not want to share it.
+
+Max did not give up. He reached for the sandwich again. He tried to snatch it from Lily's hand.
+
+"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" Lily yelled.
+
+She pushed Max away. She was angry. She did not like Max.
+
+Max fell off his chair. He hit his head on the floor. He started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran to the table. She saw Max on the floor. She saw Lily with the sandwich. She saw the plate with the other sandwich.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Max were fighting over the sandwich," Mom said.
+
+"Why were you fighting over the sandwich?" Mom asked.
+
+"Because Max wanted my sandwich. He did not want his sandwich. He reached for my sandwich. He tried to take it from me," Lily said.
+
+"Is that true, Max?" Mom asked.
+
+Max nodded. He was still crying.
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up Max and hugged him. She checked his head. He was not hurt. She wiped his tears.
+
+"Max, you should not reach for Lily's sandwich. That was not nice. You should eat the sandwich that Mom gave you. It is a good sandwich. It is not an ordinary sandwich. It is a special sandwich. Mom made it with love," Mom said.
+
+She gave Max the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She kissed his cheek.
+
+"Try it, Max. You might like it," Mom said.
+
+Max looked at the sandwich. He was not sure. He did not like peanut butter and jelly. But he liked Mom. He wanted to make Mom happy. He took a small bite.
+
+He was surprised. The sandwich was not bad. It was sweet and sticky. It made his mouth happy. He took another bite. He liked it.
+
+He smiled at Mom. He said, "Thank you, Mom. I like this sandwich. It is a special sandwich. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled back. She said, "You're welcome, Max. I'm glad you like it. I love you, too."
+
+She looked at Lily. She said, "Lily, you should not be mean to Max. He is your brother. You should share with him. You should be kind to him. You should say sorry to him."
+
+Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was happy. He was eating his sandwich. He was not sad anymore. She felt sorry. She did not want to be mean to Max. She wanted to be kind to him. She wanted to say sorry to him.
+
+She put down her sandwich. She said, "Sorry, Max. I was mean to you. I should not have pushed you. I should have shared with you. Do you want some of my sandwich?"
+
+Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry. She was not angry anymore. She was offering him some of her sandwich. He felt happy. He did not want to be mad at Lily. He wanted to be friends with her. He wanted to say thank you to her.
+
+He put down his sandwich. He said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I should not have reached for your sandwich. I should have asked you nicely. Do you want some of my sandwich?"
+
+Lily and Max smiled at each other. They hugged each other. They said, "I love you, brother. I love you, sister."
+

+Sara says, "I want to cook pasta with cheese." Ben says, "I want to cook pizza with pepperoni." Mom says, "OK, let's get the things we need."
+
+They go to the shop and look for pasta, cheese, pizza, and pepperoni. They also see some funny things in the shop. They see a big cake with candles. They see a fish with a hat. They see a banana with a face. They laugh and point at the funny things.
+
+Mom says, "Do you want to get something else?" Sara says, "Can we get some cookies?" Ben says, "Can we get some juice?" Mom says, "Sure, why not? You are good kids."

+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide. It was wide and long.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. And let other kids play too," Sara's mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the slide. They climbed up the steps. They waited for their turn. They saw a boy and a girl in front of them. They looked sad.
+
+"Hi, what's your name?" Sara asked the girl.
+
+"I'm Lily. This is Sam. We are new here. We don't have any friends," the girl said.
+
+"That's too bad. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked.
+
+"Really? Can we?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure. We can all go on the slide together. It's wide enough for four," Sara said.
+
+"Yay! Thank you. You are very nice," Lily said.
+
+They all smiled. They slid down the slide. They laughed and had fun. They played for a long time. They became friends.
+
+Sara and Ben learned a new word. They learned to include. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Ben and Lily liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, but only a little bit. Too much bread is not good for them," Mom said.
+
+She gave them some bread and they walked to the pond. The ducks saw them and came closer. They quacked and opened their beaks.
+
+Ben and Lily threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks ate the bread and wanted more. They followed Ben and Lily.
+
+One duck was very greedy. He wanted all the bread. He bit Lily's finger.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Lily cried.
+
+She dropped the bread and ran to Mom. The greedy duck picked up the bread and ate it.
+
+"Bad duck! Go away!" Ben shouted.
+
+He tried to shoo the duck away. But the duck did not listen. He wanted more bread. He tried to bite Ben's finger too.
+
+Ben did not like the duck. He did not want to share his bread. He resisted the duck. He held his bread tight and moved away.
+
+"Leave me alone, duck! You are not nice!" Ben said.
+
+The duck was angry. He quacked loudly and flapped his wings. He chased Ben around the pond.
+
+Ben was scared. He ran to Mom and Lily. They hugged him and comforted him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom. But that duck is mean. He bit Lily and me. He is not an ordinary duck. He is a bad duck," Ben said.
+
+Mom nodded. She looked at the duck. The duck was still quacking and flapping. He looked unhappy.
+
+"Maybe he is hungry, Ben. Maybe he does not have enough food. Maybe he does not have any friends. Maybe he is lonely," Mom said.
+
+Ben thought about it. He felt sorry for the duck. He wondered if the duck was sad.
+
+"Maybe we can give him some more bread, Mom. Maybe he will be nicer then. Maybe he will be our friend," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave Ben some more bread. Ben walked to the pond. He threw some bread to the duck. The duck ate the bread and stopped quacking and flapping. He looked at Ben and wagged his tail.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are nice. You are my friend," the duck said.
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not know the duck could talk. He smiled and threw some more bread to the duck. The duck ate the bread and smiled too.
+
+"You are welcome, duck. You are nice too. You are my friend," Ben said.
+
+They became friends. They played and talked. They had fun. Lily and Mom joined them. They fed the other ducks too. The other ducks were happy. They quacked and wagged their tails. They were all friends.
+

+Jill and Tom like to play in the park. They have a red wagon. They put rocks and sticks in the wagon. They pull the wagon around the park.
+
+One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. They pull the wagon harder. They are strong. They reach the top of the hill. They are happy.

+One day, a boy and a girl were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. The box had a sign that said "Do not open". The boy was curious and wanted to see what was inside. The girl was scared and said "No, we should not open it. The sign says so. It might be something bad or dangerous."
+
+The boy did not listen to the girl. He said "I do not care about the sign. I want to open it. Maybe it is something fun or nice. You are just a chicken." He ran to the box and pulled the lid. The girl followed him and said "Stop, stop, you are being foolish."
+
+But it was too late. As soon as the boy opened the box, a loud noise came out. It was a horn that made a honk sound. The boy and the girl were startled and jumped back. Then they saw a clown pop out of the box. The clown had a big red nose, a colorful wig and a funny suit. He pointed at the boy and the girl and laughed. He said "Ha ha ha, you fell for my trick. You should have listened to the sign. You are so silly."
+
+The boy and the girl felt embarrassed and angry. They did not like the clown or his trick. They ran away from the box and the clown. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to not open things that they should not open. They learned to not be foolish and to listen to their friends.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a lot of fun with their toys, books and games. They also like to go outside and run, jump and swing.

+They eat their food and drink their juice. They share and say thank you. They feel happy and full. Then they play with their ball and their kite. They throw and catch the ball. They run and fly the kite. They laugh and shout. They have so much fun.
+
+After a while, they feel tired. They yawn and stretch. They put their toys back in the basket. They fold their blanket. They say goodbye to the park and the birds and the flowers. They walk back home with their moms.
+
+On the way, they see a pretty rainbow in the sky. They point and smile. They say wow and cool. They hug and say I love you. They are best friends. They had a great day.
+Lily loved to bake with her mom. They would make cookies, cakes, and pies for their family and friends. Lily liked to wear her apron and help mom mix the ingredients, roll the dough, and cut out shapes.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to bake a special cake for her dad's birthday. She asked mom if she could help. Mom said yes, but she had to be careful and follow the instructions. Lily nodded and put on her apron. She felt very comfortable and happy.
+
+Mom told Lily to get the eggs, the flour, the sugar, and the butter from the fridge and the pantry. Lily ran to get them, but she was too excited and clumsy. She dropped the eggs on the floor, spilled the flour on the counter, and knocked over the sugar jar. The butter slid off the plate and landed on mom's waist.
+
+Mom gasped and looked at the mess. She was angry and frustrated. She said to Lily, "Lily, what have you done? You made a big mess and wasted the ingredients. You are not careful and you don't listen. You can't help me bake anymore. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lily felt very sad and sorry. She didn't mean to make a mess and upset mom. She wanted to make a nice cake for dad. She ran to her room and cried. She wished she could fix everything.
+
+After a while, mom came to Lily's room. She saw Lily sitting on her bed, with tears in her eyes. She felt sorry for Lily too. She said to Lily, "Lily, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you wanted to help me bake, but you have to be more careful and follow the instructions. Baking is fun, but it also takes patience and practice. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and hugged mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you and I love to bake with you. Can we try again?"
+
+Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She said, "Of course, we can try again. I love you too, and I love to bake with you. But first, let's clean up the mess and get some new ingredients. And maybe we can make a smaller cake, just for dad."
+
+Lily agreed and followed mom to the kitchen. They cleaned up the mess and got some new ingredients. They made a smaller cake, with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. They put it in the oven and waited for it to bake. They felt very comfortable and happy.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be careful and follow the instructions when you do something. If you make a mistake, apologize and try again. Baking is fun, but it also takes patience and practice.
+Anna loves her pet cat, Lily. Lily is soft and warm and likes to play with Anna. Anna likes to feed Lily and brush her fur. But Anna does not like to clean Lily's litter box. She thinks it is yucky and hard.
+
+One day, Anna has an idea. She thinks she can scatter Lily's litter outside in the garden. She thinks it will be easy and fun. She takes the litter box and dumps it on the grass. She laughs and runs away.
+
+But Lily does not like this. She does not know where to go when she needs to pee or poop. She feels sad and confused. She tries to find her litter box, but she only sees dirt and rocks. She does not want to pee or poop on them. She feels bad and dirty.
+
+Anna's mom sees what Anna did. She is not happy. She tells Anna that she was naughty and careless. She tells Anna that she hurt Lily's feelings and made a mess. She tells Anna that she has to clean the garden and apologize to Lily. She tells Anna that she has to learn to take care of her pet.
+
+Anna feels sorry. She realizes that she was wrong. She does what her mom says. She picks up the litter and puts it back in the box. She says sorry to Lily and gives her a hug. She promises to clean the litter box every day. She learns that having a pet is not only fun, but also a responsibility. She learns that she has to be kind and respectful to her pet. She learns that she has to do her chores, even if they are not easy. She learns a lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and many balloons. They wanted to make water balloons and splash each other.
+
+"Look, I made a big water balloon!" Tom said. He held it up and smiled.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. Don't drop it!" Lily said. She made a small water balloon and tied it.
+
+Tom tried to throw his water balloon at Lily, but it was too heavy. It slipped from his hand and fell on the ground. It burst with a loud pop and water splashed everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said. He looked at his wet clothes and shoes.
+
+Lily laughed. She ran to Tom and threw her water balloon at him. It was gentle and soft. It landed on his head and made him wetter.
+
+"Got you!" Lily said. She giggled.
+
+Tom laughed too. He didn't mind. He hugged Lily and they both fell on the grass.
+
+They had fun playing with water balloons and splashing each other. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they want different things. One day, they have a big event at school. They will sing and dance for their parents and friends.
+
+Lily wants to wear a pink dress and a crown. Ben wants to wear a blue shirt and a hat. They look for their clothes in their room, but they cannot find them. They see a big pile of clothes on the floor. They start to pull and tug at the clothes, trying to find theirs.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! You are messing up the clothes!" Lily says.
+
+"No, you stop it, Lily! You are taking my clothes!" Ben says.
+
+They pull harder and harder, until they hear a rip. They separate the clothes and see that they have torn Lily's dress and Ben's shirt. They feel sad and angry. They start to cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the torn clothes and the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Lily and Ben point at each other and say, "He did it!" "She did it!"
+
+Mom sighs and says, "You two need to learn to share and be kind. You cannot wear these clothes to the event. You have to wear something else."
+
+She helps them find other clothes that are not torn. Lily wears a yellow dress and a flower. Ben wears a green shirt and a star. They look nice, but they are still mad at each other.
+
+They go to the event with Mom. They see their teacher and their friends. They see their parents and friends smiling and clapping for them. They feel happy and proud. They sing and dance with their class. They have fun.
+
+After the event, they hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom, for helping us. We are sorry for tearing the clothes. We love you."
+
+Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. I am glad you had a good time. I am proud of you. And I am grateful that you are my twins."
+Tim liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. His favorite car was a red metal car. It was shiny and fast and had a loud horn. It reminded him of his dad's car.
+
+One day, Tim's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Tim to bring his red metal car with him. She said it would make him happy in the car. Tim was excited. He grabbed his red metal car and ran to the door. He wanted to show his car to everyone.
+
+But when they got to the store, Tim forgot his red metal car in the car. He was too busy looking at all the things in the store. He saw candy and toys and books and clothes. He wanted to touch everything. He did not think about his red metal car.
+
+When they came back to the car, Tim saw something bad. The window of the car was broken. There was glass on the seat. And his red metal car was gone. Someone had taken it. Tim felt very sad. He cried and cried. He wanted his red metal car back. He missed his dad's car.
+
+Tim's mom hugged him and said she was sorry. She said they would find another red metal car for him. She said he was a brave boy and she was proud of him. She said they would go home and call dad. She said dad would be happy to hear his voice. She said dad would be home soon. She said dad loved him very much. She reminded him of his dad's car.
+Sam and Lily wanted to build a new toy. They found some boxes, some sticks, some paper and some buttons. They worked hard to make a big robot with arms and legs and eyes and a mouth.
+
+"Look at our robot!" Sam said. "He is so big and strong!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Lily said. "Let's make him talk. What does this button do?"
+
+Lily pushed a red button on the robot's chest. The robot made a loud noise and started to move. Sam and Lily were happy and clapped their hands.
+
+"Hello, robot!" Sam said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The robot did not answer. He looked at Sam and Lily with his button eyes. He did not like them. He was angry. He raised his stick arms and hit Sam and Lily hard. Sam and Lily fell down and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. "The robot is mean! He hurts us!"
+
+"Help, help, help!" Lily said. "The robot is bad! He scares us!"
+
+The robot did not stop. He broke the boxes, the sticks, the paper and the buttons. He made a big mess. He walked out of the door and left Sam and Lily alone. They were sad and hurt. They wished they never built the robot. They wished they had a nice toy.
+Lily was a young girl who liked to play in the woods. One day, she saw a shiny jewel on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it. It was red and sparkly, like a star.
+
+"Wow, what a pretty jewel!" she said. "I wonder where it came from."
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was a big, hairy man with a mean face. He had a sack full of jewels on his back.
+
+"Give me that jewel, little girl!" he said. "It's mine! I found it in the cave!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to give him the jewel. She liked it too much.
+
+"No, it's mine!" she said. "I found it here! Go away!"
+
+The man was angry. He grabbed Lily by the arm and pulled her towards him.
+
+"Come with me, little girl!" he said. "You will follow me to the cave and give me all your jewels! Or I will hurt you!"
+
+Lily cried and screamed. She tried to get away, but the man was too strong. He dragged her to the cave, where it was dark and cold. He threw her inside and locked the door.
+
+"Now you will stay here forever, little girl!" he said. "And I will keep all your jewels!"
+
+Lily was very sad and afraid. She wished she had never seen the jewel. She wished she had stayed in the woods. She wished someone would come and save her. But no one did. The end.
+Lily and Tom were twins who loved to travel. They had a big map on their wall with many colors and shapes. They liked to point at different places and say their names.
+
+One day, their mom and dad said they had a surprise for them. They packed some bags and got in the car. Lily and Tom were very excited. They asked, "Where are we going?"
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "We are going to see something incredible. Something very wide and very beautiful. Can you guess what it is?"
+
+Lily and Tom thought hard. They said, "Is it the sea? Is it the sky? Is it a mountain?"
+
+Mom and dad shook their heads. They said, "No, it is not the sea, or the sky, or a mountain. It is something else. You will see soon."
+
+They drove for a long time. Lily and Tom looked out the window and saw many things. They saw trees, and cows, and houses, and bridges. They sang songs and played games. They ate some snacks and drank some juice.
+
+Finally, they arrived at a big park. Mom and dad parked the car and took out a picnic basket. They said, "Come on, Lily and Tom. Let's go for a walk. We are almost there."
+
+They followed a path that led to a big fence. They walked through a gate and saw a sign that said, "Welcome to the Grand Canyon."
+
+Lily and Tom gasped. They saw a huge hole in the ground. It was very wide and very deep. It had many colors and shapes. It looked like a painting. It was incredible.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the edge and looked down. They felt a breeze on their faces. They heard a river flowing far below. They saw birds flying in the air. They said, "Wow! This is amazing! This is the best surprise ever!"
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you like it. This is one of the wonders of the world. We wanted to share it with you. We love you, Lily and Tom."
+
+They took out a blanket and some sandwiches. They sat on the edge and ate their picnic. They talked and laughed and enjoyed the view. They felt happy and grateful. They had a wonderful day.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big can of spray that made things smell nice. They used it to spray their tent, their toys and their clothes. They said it kept the bugs away.
+
+One day, they saw a fox in the woods. It was red and furry and had a long tail. Ben and Sam wanted to spray the fox, too. They thought it would make the fox smell nice and be their friend. They followed the fox quietly, holding the can of spray.
+
+But the fox was not a nice fox. It was a bad fox. It saw Ben and Sam and it did not like them. It did not want to smell nice. It wanted to bite them and make them go away. It hid behind a tree and waited for them to come closer.
+
+When Ben and Sam reached the tree, the fox jumped out and snarled. Ben and Sam were scared and dropped the can of spray. The fox grabbed the can with its teeth and ran away. Ben and Sam ran back to their tent, crying.
+
+The fox did not know what the can was. It thought it was a toy or a snack. It bit the can hard and it made a loud noise. The can broke and the spray came out. It sprayed the fox in the face and made it burn and sting. The fox howled and ran away, too. It did not like the spray. It did not like Ben and Sam. It learned a lesson that day.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a tea set and Tom had a pirate ship. Lily pretended to serve tea to her dolls and stuffed animals. Tom pretended to sail the ship and find treasure.
+
+"Look, I found a coin!" Tom shouted, holding up a shiny metal disc. "It's gold and it's mine!"
+
+Lily looked at the coin and felt envious. She wanted a coin too. She put down her tea cup and walked over to Tom.
+
+"Can I see your coin?" she asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said, hiding the coin behind his back. "Go away!"
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She tried to grab the coin from Tom, but he pushed her away. They started to fight and yell.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" their mom said, coming into the room. She saw the coin on the floor and picked it up. "This is not a real coin, it's a button. And it's not yours, it's mine. I lost it from my jacket yesterday."
+
+She showed the button to Lily and Tom. They looked at it and felt silly. It was not gold, it was silver. And it had four holes in it.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Tom said.
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and made up. Mom gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. They decided to share their toys and play together. They had more fun that way.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red shirt on. The shirt says "I love hugs".
+
+"Wow, look at the dog!" Anna says. "It has a shirt like us!"
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Ben asks. He likes animals.
+
+They walk to the dog. The dog is happy. It wags its tail. It licks their faces.
+
+"Hi, doggy!" Anna says. "You are so soft and warm!"
+
+The dog's owner comes. He is a man with a hat. He smiles at Anna and Ben.
+
+"Hello, kids!" he says. "Do you like my dog? His name is Max."
+
+"Yes, we like him!" Ben says. "He is very friendly!"
+
+"Thank you for being so thoughtful," the man says. "Some people are afraid of big dogs, but you are not. You are very brave and kind."
+
+He gives them each a sticker. The sticker has a picture of Max and his shirt.
+
+"Here, this is for you," he says. "You can watch Max on TV. He is a famous dog. He helps people who are sick or sad."
+
+"Wow, really?" Anna says. "That is amazing!"
+
+"Yes, he is a very special dog," the man says. "He loves to make people happy. Just like you."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They hug Max. They say goodbye to the man and the dog. They go back to play. They are proud of their stickers. They are happy to meet Max. They are good friends.
+Lily and Max are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend with other things too. Lily sees a hanger in the closet. She thinks it looks like a funny hat.
+
+"Look, Max, I have a hat!" she says, and puts the hanger on her head.
+
+Max laughs. He thinks Lily is cute. He wants to touch the hanger. He reaches for it, but Lily moves away.
+
+"No, Max, it's my hat!" she says, and runs around the room.
+
+Max chases her. He thinks it is a game. He tries to touch the hanger again, but Lily is too fast.
+
+"Please, Lily, let me touch it!" he says, and pouts.
+
+Lily stops. She sees that Max is sad. She loves her brother. She does not want to make him sad.
+
+"Okay, Max, you can touch it. But be careful, it might poke you!" she says, and takes the hanger off her head.
+
+She gives it to Max. He smiles. He touches the hanger gently. He thinks it feels cold and hard.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you are nice!" he says, and hugs her.
+
+Lily hugs him back. She thinks he is cute too.
+
+They play with the hanger together. They take turns wearing it as a hat. They have fun. They are happy.
+Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. Mia has a doll with a pink dress. Ben has a car with four wheels. They share their toys sometimes, but not always.
+
+One day, their grandma comes to visit. She brings a big bag with her. She says, "I have a surprise for you, my darlings. I made something for you with wool." Mia and Ben are curious. They open the bag and see two sweaters. One is blue and one is red.
+
+Grandma says, "This one is for Mia, and this one is for Ben. I knitted them with love. They are warm and soft. Do you like them?" Mia and Ben smile and hug their grandma. They say, "Thank you, grandma. We love them."
+
+They try on their sweaters. Mia's sweater is blue and has a flower on it. Ben's sweater is red and has a star on it. They look at each other and laugh. They say, "We look funny. We look like twins."
+
+But then, Mia sees Ben's sweater. She likes the star more than the flower. She feels jealous. She says, "I want your sweater. Give it to me." Ben says, "No, this is my sweater. Grandma made it for me. You have your own sweater." Mia says, "But I like your sweater more. It is prettier. You have to share." Ben says, "No, I don't. You are being mean. Go away."
+
+They start to fight. They pull and tug at each other's sweaters. They make holes in the wool. They cry and scream. Grandma hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees their sweaters and feels sad. She says, "Oh, no. What have you done? You ruined your sweaters. Why did you fight? Don't you love each other?"
+
+Mia and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, grandma. We do love each other. We were just jealous. We both wanted the same sweater. We were silly." Grandma says, "It's okay, my darlings. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be happy with what you have. And you have to share and care for each other. You are twins. You are special. You have each other."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I can fix your sweaters. Don't worry. They will be good as new. But you have to promise me to be nice to each other. And to say thank you for your gifts. Can you do that?" Mia and Ben nod and say, "Yes, grandma. We promise. We are sorry. Thank you for your gifts. We love you."
+
+They hug their grandma and each other. They say, "We love you, too." They smile and laugh. They are happy again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big green thing on the counter. It was an avocado.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's cut it and see," Ben said. He took a knife and tried to slice the avocado. But the knife was sharp and he cut his finger. He dropped the knife and the avocado and cried.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben shouted. He ran to the sink and put his finger under the water. Lily saw the blood and the mess. She was scared.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Help!" Lily screamed. She ran to the living room where Mommy was reading a book. She was very noisy.
+
+Mommy heard Lily and Ben and got up. She saw the blood and the mess in the kitchen. She was worried.
+
+"What happened? Are you okay?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Ben cut his finger with the knife. He was trying to cut the avocado. It hurts!" Ben said.
+
+"Oh, no. Let me see. Don't panic. It's okay. I'll get a band-aid and some ice," Mommy said. She took Ben's hand and wrapped a cloth around it. She hugged him and Lily and calmed them down.
+
+"Next time, don't play with knives. They are dangerous. And don't touch the avocado. It's not ripe yet. It's hard and bitter. We'll wait until it's soft and sweet. Then we can make guacamole. Do you like guacamole?" Mommy said.
+
+"Yes, we do. We're sorry, Mommy. We won't play with knives again. We love you, Mommy," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"I love you too, my little chefs. Now let's clean up this mess and have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" Mommy said.
+
+"Yay! Cookies and milk!" Lily and Ben said. They smiled and hugged Mommy. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says.
+
+They go to the box and try to lift it. But it is too heavy. They cannot move it.
+
+"Maybe we can carry it together," Tom says.
+
+"Good idea!" Lily says.
+
+They each grab one side of the box and try to carry it. But it is still too heavy. They drop it on the ground. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom says.
+
+"That hurt!" Lily says.
+
+They look at the box. It has a label on it. It says: "Do not open. Start for the rocket."
+
+"What is a start?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is something fun," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy," Lily says.
+
+They want to open the box again. But then they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my box?" The voice is angry. It is a man. He is wearing a white coat and glasses. He is holding a clipboard.
+
+He runs to the box and picks it up. He looks at Lily and Tom. He is not happy.
+
+"This is not a toy. This is a start for the rocket. It is very important. And very expensive. You could have broken it. You are very stupid!" He says.
+
+Lily and Tom feel scared. They do not like the man. They do not like his words.
+
+They run away from the box. They run away from the man. They run to the slide. They slide down. They laugh.
+
+They forget about the box. They forget about the start. They forget about the man. They are not stupid. They are friends. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, swing, and climb. But their favorite thing is to slide.
+
+One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is big and shiny. It has a bell at the top. Anna and Ben are eager to try it.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Anna says. She runs to the slide and climbs the ladder. She reaches the top and rings the bell. "Ding, ding, ding!" She smiles and slides down. "Whee!"
+
+Ben follows her. He climbs the ladder and rings the bell. "Ding, ding, ding!" He slides down. "Whee!"
+
+They do it again and again. They have so much fun. They laugh and shout.
+
+"Anna, Ben, time to go home!" their moms call.
+
+Anna and Ben sigh. They want to play more. But they know they have to listen.
+
+"Okay, okay," they say. They give each other a hug. "Bye, friend. See you tomorrow."
+
+They wave and run to their moms. They are happy. They can't wait to slide again.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to draw with pencils and paper. One day, they find a big box of pencils in the garage. They are very happy and take some pencils to their room.
+
+"Look, I have a red pencil and a blue pencil. What do you have?" Tim asks Mia.
+
+"I have a yellow pencil and a green pencil. Let's draw a sun and a tree," Mia says.
+
+They start to draw on the paper. They have fun and make many pictures. They do not see the sign on the box that says "Do not touch. These are not pencils. These are fireworks."
+
+After a while, Tim wants to make his sun brighter. He thinks of an idea. He takes a lighter from the table and lights his red pencil. He thinks it will make a nice flame.
+
+"Tim, what are you doing? That is not a good idea. That is dangerous," Mia says.
+
+But Tim does not listen. He holds the red pencil near the paper. Suddenly, the pencil makes a loud bang and sparks fly everywhere. The paper and the other pencils catch fire. The fire spreads quickly and burns the curtains and the carpet.
+
+"Help! Help! Fire! Fire!" Tim and Mia scream. They run out of the room and call for their parents.
+
+But it is too late. The fire is too big and too fast. The parents cannot put it out. The firemen come, but they cannot save the house. The house is burned down. Tim and Mia lose everything. They are very sad and scared. They wish they had not played with the fireworks. They wish they had listened to Mia. They learn a difficult lesson.
+One day, Tom and Sue saw a big wheel in the park. It was shiny and colorful and had many seats. They wanted to ride on it and see the sky.
+
+"Can we go on the wheel, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"OK, but only one time. It is almost time to go home," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue ran to the wheel and waited in line. They were very happy and excited. They got on the wheel and buckled their belts. The wheel started to move slowly.
+
+"Wow, look at the trees and the birds!" Sue said.
+
+"I can see our house and our car!" Tom said.
+
+They laughed and waved to Mom, who was watching them from below.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The wheel made a loud noise and stopped. It was stuck. Tom and Sue were very scared. They looked down and saw Mom and many people shouting and waving.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue cried.
+
+But no one could hear them. The wheel was too high and too noisy.
+
+They waited and waited, but no one came to help them. They felt cold and hungry and thirsty. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+They did not know what to do. They did not know why the wheel stopped. They did not know when they would get down. They did not know that the wheel was old and broken and mysterious. They did not know that the wheel would never move again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys and games. They also like to make things. Sometimes they make pictures, sometimes they make towers, sometimes they make stories.
+
+One day, they decide to make a bed. They take some pillows and blankets from their rooms. They put them on the floor in the living room. They make a big and soft bed. They pretend it is a boat. They sail to different places. They see animals and plants. They have fun.
+
+"Look, Mia, a dolphin!" Tom says. He points to a picture on the wall.
+
+"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Mia says. She claps her hands.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is Lily and Ben. They are their neighbors. They want to play with Tom and Mia.
+
+"Hi, Tom and Mia, can we play with you?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, come in, we are making a bed," Tom says.
+
+"A bed? Why are you making a bed?" Ben asks.
+
+"It is not just a bed, it is a boat. We are sailing to different places," Mia says.
+
+"That sounds cool, can we join you?" Lily asks.
+
+"Of course, there is room for everyone," Tom says.
+
+They all get on the bed. They take turns to be the captain. They tell each other stories. They laugh and sing. They are happy.
+
+Tom and Mia are popular. They have many friends. They like to share and make things. They have fun.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom brings a fancy toy car to Sue's house. It is red and shiny and has a lock on the door.
+
+"Wow, what a nice car!" Sue says. "Can I play with it?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is my car. I own it. My dad gave it to me for my birthday. You have to ask me before you open the lock," Tom says.
+
+Sue nods and takes the car. She pretends to drive it around the room. She makes vroom-vroom noises. She has fun. Then she sees a button on the car. She wonders what it does. She pushes it.
+
+The car makes a loud beep. The lock pops open. A small toy dog jumps out of the car. It barks and wags its tail.
+
+"Wow, what a surprise!" Sue says. "Your car has a dog inside!"
+
+Tom is angry. He runs to Sue and grabs the car. He closes the lock. He scolds Sue.
+
+"Hey, you are not supposed to do that! You did not ask me! You broke the rule! That is my dog. I own it. It is not for you!" Tom says.
+
+Sue is sad. She did not mean to make Tom mad. She just wanted to see what the button did. She says sorry to Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not know. I was curious. Your car and your dog are very cool. Can we still be friends?" Sue says.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Sue. He does not want to lose her as a friend. He decides to forgive her. He says sorry to Sue.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sue. I was rude. I should have shared with you. You can play with my car and my dog. We can be friends," Tom says.

+Sue smiles. Tom smiles. They hug. They play with the car and the dog. They are happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big stick. Tom says, "This is a good weapon. We can fight the bad guys with it." Jen says, "Yes, let's do that. But we need to share it. You can have it first, then I can have it."
+
+They run around the park, pretending to be heroes. They see a dog. Tom says, "Look, a bad guy. He wants to bite us. I will hit him with the weapon." He swings the stick at the dog. The dog barks and runs away. Tom says, "I did it. I saved us. I am the best."
+
+Jen says, "Good job, Tom. But can I have the weapon now? It is my turn." Tom says, "No, I want to keep it. It is mine. You can find another weapon." Jen says, "That is not fair. You said we would share it. You are being mean." Tom says, "I don't care. Go away."
+
+Jen is sad and angry. She walks away. She sees a rock. She says, "This is a better weapon. It is hard and heavy. I can throw it at the bad guys. Or at Tom." She picks up the rock. She sees Tom. He is still playing with the stick. He does not see her. She says, "I will show him. I will make him sorry. This is easy."
+
+She throws the rock at Tom. It hits him on the head. He falls down. He cries. He drops the stick. Jen says, "Ha, ha. I got you. That is what you get for being mean." She runs to get the stick. She says, "Now I have the weapon. It is mine. You can have the rock."
+
+But then she sees Tom. He is bleeding. He is hurt. He is scared. He says, "Help me. Help me. It hurts. I am sorry. Please be my friend." Jen feels bad. She says, "Oh, no. What did I do? I did not mean to hurt you. I was angry. I am sorry. Please be okay."
+
+She drops the stick. She runs to Tom. She hugs him. She says, "I am sorry, Tom. I am your friend. I will help you. We can share the weapon. Or we can find another game. We don't need to fight. We need to be nice."
+
+They go to find a grown-up. They say they are sorry. They say they will be careful. They say they will be friends. They learn a lesson. They hug. The end.
+Tim and Anna were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house that looked old and scary. Tim said, "Let's go inside and see if there are any ghosts." Anna said, "No, I'm scared. What if the ghosts are mean and hurt us?" Tim said, "Don't be a baby. Ghosts are not real. They are just stories. Come on, I'll lead you." He took Anna's hand and pulled her to the house.
+
+They opened the door and went inside. It was dark and dusty. They heard strange noises and saw shadows on the walls. Anna felt very uncomfortable and wanted to go back. She said, "Tim, I don't like this. Let's go home." Tim said, "No, we have to find the ghosts. They must be hiding somewhere. Look, there's a staircase. Maybe they are upstairs." He dragged Anna to the stairs and climbed up.
+
+They reached the second floor and saw a door that was closed. Tim said, "Maybe the ghosts are in there. Let's open it and see." He pushed the door and it creaked. Inside, they saw a big bed with a white sheet on it. Tim said, "Look, there's a ghost. It's sleeping under the sheet. Let's wake it up and say hello." He walked to the bed and lifted the sheet.
+
+But there was no ghost under the sheet. There was a man who looked angry and scared. He shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Get out of my house!" He grabbed a stick and swung it at Tim and Anna. They screamed and ran away. They ran down the stairs and out of the house. They didn't stop until they reached the park.
+
+They were both shaking and crying. Anna said, "Tim, that was not a ghost. That was a person. He was living in the house. He was not happy to see us. He could have hurt us." Tim said, "I know. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have led you to the house. I shouldn't have been so curious and brave. I should have listened to you. You were right. Ghosts are not real. But people are. And we have to respect them and their homes." Anna said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, let's play somewhere else. Somewhere safe and fun." Tim said, "Okay. I agree. Let's go to the swings and forget about the house." They hugged and went to the swings. They learned their lesson and never went to the house again.

+
+"Don't be scared," Tom said. "We are brave. We can do it. Come on!"
+
+Tom and Sam started to climb the mountain. They used their hands and feet to find rocks and roots. They helped each other when it was hard. They saw birds and flowers and trees. They felt happy and proud.
+
+They reached the top of the mountain. They looked around and saw the sky and the land and the water. They felt very small and very big at the same time.

+
+Lily and Ben say, "Mom, we both want the red car. It is the best toy. We don't want to share."
+
+Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you have to share. You have many toys, but you only have one red car. You can take turns with the red car. Lily, you can play with the red car for five minutes, then you have to give it to Ben. Ben, you can play with the red car for five minutes, then you have to give it back to Lily. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will share."

+Anna liked to play with her mom's bracelet. It was shiny and had many colors. She put it on her wrist and pretended to be a princess. She felt happy and pretty.
+
+One day, she saw a weird thing on the bracelet. It was a small button. She wondered what it did. She pushed it and something happened. The bracelet turned into a watch. It had numbers and hands that moved. Anna was surprised and scared.
+
+"Mom, mom, look!" she cried. She ran to her mom and showed her the watch. "What is this? Where is your bracelet?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Don't worry, sweetie. It's a special bracelet. It can turn into a watch when you push the button. See?" She pushed the button again and the watch turned back into a bracelet. "It's a gift from your dad. He is a spy and he uses it for his missions. He wanted you to have one too."
+
+Anna's eyes widened. She felt curious and excited. "Wow, really? That's so cool! Can I be a spy too?"
+
+Her mom laughed and kissed her. "Maybe when you grow up. But for now, you can play with it and have fun. Just be careful not to lose it or break it. It's very precious."

+
+Tom is curious. He wants to see what the cow feels like. He follows Sara and puts his hand on the cow's back. The cow has soft fur and warm skin. Tom likes the cow. He moves his hand to the cow's ear. The cow has a big ear and a small earring. Tom wonders what the earring is for. He pulls on the earring.
+
+The cow does not like that. The cow feels a pain in her ear. She moos loudly and shakes her head. She pinches Tom's hand with her teeth. Tom feels a pain in his hand. He screams and lets go of the earring.
+
+Sara hears Tom scream. She turns around and sees Tom holding his hand. She sees blood on his hand. She sees the cow looking angry. She is scared and angry too. She shouts at Tom.

+
+"I want your doll, Lily. It has a pretty dress and hair," Sam said.
+
+They agreed to trade their toys and gave them to each other. They were happy with their new toys and played with them for a while.
+
+But then, Lily saw that the truck had a scratch on the side and one of the wheels was loose. She tried to drive it, but it made a terrible noise and did not go fast. She did not like the truck anymore.
+
+And Sam saw that the doll had a stain on the dress and a tear on the arm. He tried to comb its hair, but it was tangled and fell out. He did not like the doll anymore.

+They both felt sad and wanted their old toys back.
+
+"Lily, I don't like this doll. It is broken and ugly. Can I have my truck back?" Sam asked.

+Mom felt hurt and upset. She tried to explain that the printer was old and she could not fix it. She said, "I'm sorry, kids, I do care about you. I'm proud of your pictures. But the printer is not working. Maybe we can print them another day."
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They shouted and cried and threw their crayons and papers on the floor. They made a big mess. They said, "We don't want to go to school. We don't want to see our teacher. We don't want to see you."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Fine, then. You can stay home and clean up your mess. But you will miss your teacher and your friends and your fun. And you will make me very sad."
+
+She took her keys and left the house. She closed the door behind her. Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they said and did. But it was too late. Mom was gone.

+They worked hard to make a clay cake. It looked very yummy. They were proud of their work. They put the clay cake on a plate. They pretended to sing happy birthday. They pretended to blow out the candles. They pretended to cut the cake.
+
+Tom said, "Let's pretend to eat the cake. It will be fun." Sue said, "OK, let's pretend to eat the cake. But we have to be careful. We can't really eat the clay. It is not good for us. It can make us sick." Tom said, "I know, I know. We will just put the clay in our mouth and spit it out. It will be like a joke."
+
+They took a piece of clay cake and put it in their mouth. They made funny faces. They spit out the clay. They laughed. They did it again and again. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Tom had a bad idea. He wanted to trick Sue. He said to Sue, "Let's do it one more time. It will be funny." Sue said, "OK, let's do it one more time." Tom said, "I will encourage you. You go first. You take a big bite of the clay cake. I will say, 'Yum, yum, yum.' Then you spit it out. Then I will do the same."
+
+Sue trusted Tom. She took a big bite of the clay cake. She put it in her mouth. Tom said, "Yum, yum, yum." But then, he did not do the same. He did not take a bite of the clay cake. He did not put it in his mouth. He did not spit it out. He just smiled.
+
+Sue felt something wrong. The clay was not funny. The clay was hard and dry and bitter. The clay was stuck in her mouth. The clay was hurting her teeth and tongue and throat. She tried to spit it out. But she could not. She tried to scream. But she could not. She was scared. She was choking.
+

+
+"That's a good idea," Lily says to Ben. "Your tree is very big and tall. But maybe you can draw some animals under the tree. Animals like to live in the tree and play on the grass."
+

+
+They take their crayons and draw some more. Lily draws some birds in the sky. Ben draws some animals under the tree. They look at their landscapes again. They smile and hug.

+
+He takes them to his car. He says, "I'm going to take you to the police. They will teach you a lesson."
+
+Lily and Will cry. They wish they never saw the cake. They wish they listened to Will. They are in big trouble. The cake was not tasty. It was bad.

+Tom and Jen are sad and angry. They say, "No, our zip is not bad. It is good. You are bad. You are careless. You should say sorry."
+
+The new boy does not say sorry. He gets up and runs to his bike. He rides away and does not look back.

+Tom and Jen pick up his red hat and throw it in the trash. They hug each other and say, "We don't need him. We have each other. And we have our zip. It is still fun."
+
+They climb the tree and slide on the zip again. They laugh and forget the new boy.

+
+Later on, the man went outside and sat on a bench. He leaned his staff against the bench and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw that a little bird had landed on the top of his staff. The man was so happy that he smiled and watched the bird for a long time.

+Sara showed her the dress. It was dirty and broken. Lily was sad. She liked her dress very much.
+
+"Why did you do this?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was not careful. I did not mean to ruin your dress," Sara said.
+
+Lily was hurt. She did not want to be friends with Sara anymore. She took her dress and left.
+
+Sara felt bad. She wished she had been more careful. She learned that borrowing is not the same as having. She learned that she should respect other people's things. She hoped that Lily would forgive her. She wanted to be friends with Lily again.
+Lily liked to play with her puzzles. She had many puzzles with different pictures. She had a puzzle with a big orange cat, a puzzle with a red car, a puzzle with a blue fish, and more. She liked to mix the pieces and make new pictures.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a picture of a green frog. She looked for the pieces that were green. She found some in the cat puzzle, some in the fish puzzle, and some in the car puzzle. She put them together on the floor. But she was missing one piece. She could not make the frog's eye.
+
+She tried to remember where the piece was. She looked in the box of the cat puzzle. She looked in the box of the fish puzzle. She looked in the box of the car puzzle. She could not find it. She felt sad.
+
+Then she saw her brother Tom. He was holding something in his hand. It was the piece she needed. It was green and round. It was the frog's eye. He had taken it from her puzzle.
+
+"Tom, give me that piece!" Lily said. "It is mine. I need it for my frog."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked to tease Lily. He ran away with the piece. Lily ran after him. She wanted her piece back. She wanted to finish her frog. She was angry.
+
+They ran around the house. They bumped into the table. They knocked over the lamp. They made a lot of noise. Mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you running and shouting?"
+
+"Tom took my piece!" Lily said. "He won't give it back. It is the frog's eye. I need it for my puzzle."
+
+Mom looked at Tom. He still had the piece in his hand. He looked guilty.
+
+"Tom, is that true?" Mom asked. "Did you take Lily's piece?"
+
+Tom nodded. He knew he was wrong. He gave the piece to Lily. He said he was sorry.
+
+Lily took the piece. She said thank you. She was happy. She ran back to her puzzle. She put the piece in the right place. She made the frog's eye. She finished her puzzle. She showed it to Mom and Tom. It was a beautiful green frog.
+
+Mom smiled. She said it was very nice. She said she was proud of Lily. She said she was proud of Tom too. She said he did the right thing. She said they should share and be kind.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Mom. They said they loved her. They said they loved each other. They decided to play with the puzzles together. They had fun. They made new pictures. They remembered to use simple words.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have a big switch on the wall that makes the light go on and off. Lily likes to turn the switch on and off very fast. She thinks it is fun. Max does not like it. He thinks it hurts his eyes.
+
+"Stop it, Lily!" Max says. "You are making the light go crazy. I don't like it."
+
+"But I like it, Max!" Lily says. "It is like a game. See how the light changes?"
+
+Max gets angry. He tries to grab the switch from Lily. Lily pulls it away. They start to fight over the switch. They push and pull and shout.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Max?" Mom says. "Why are you fighting over the switch?"
+
+"Lily is making the light go on and off very fast. It hurts my eyes. I want her to stop," Max says.
+
+"But I like to make the light go on and off. It is fun. I don't want to stop," Lily says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "You both need to learn to share and take turns. The switch is not a toy. It is for making the room bright or dark. If you play with it too much, you can break it. And you can hurt your eyes. That is not healthy. Do you want to be healthy?"
+
+Lily and Max nod. They do not want to break the switch. They do not want to hurt their eyes. They want to be healthy.
+
+Mom says, "Good. Then you need to stop fighting and say sorry to each other. And you need to find another game to play. A game that is fun and healthy and does not make the light go crazy. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Max look at each other. They feel bad for fighting. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to play with their blocks instead. They build a big tower together. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She smiles and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Lily and Max. You are good twins."
+Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play with their mom's makeup. One day, they find a big box of makeup in mom's room. They open the box and see many colors and shapes.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. She picks up a red lipstick and puts it on her mouth. "I look like a princess!"
+
+Anna laughs. She sees a blue eyeshadow and a yellow blush. She puts them on her eyes and cheeks. "I look like a rainbow!"
+
+They try different makeup and make funny faces. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Mom comes home and sees them. She is surprised and amused. She takes a picture of them and hugs them.
+
+"You two are very cute, but you also made a big mess," she says. "Let's go to the bathroom and wash your faces."
+
+Lily and Anna nod. They follow mom to the bathroom. They see themselves in the mirror and laugh again.
+
+"Can we play with your makeup again, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe sometimes, but not too often," mom says. "Makeup is for grown-ups, not for little girls. You are beautiful without makeup."
+
+Lily and Anna smile. They love mom. They wash their faces and feel fresh.
+
+Mom takes them to the kitchen and gives them some cookies and milk. They are delicious. They eat and drink and talk about their day.
+
+They are happy. They love to play and laugh.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. The goals are made of sticks and rocks.
+
+One day, they see a furry dog in the park. The dog is brown and white. He runs to the ball and bites it. He wants to play too.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom says. He tries to get the ball from the dog, but the dog runs away.
+
+"Let's include him in our game," Lily says. "He looks friendly and fun."
+
+"OK, but how?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily has an idea. She picks up a stick and throws it. The dog chases the stick and brings it back. Lily gives him a pat.
+
+"Good boy!" she says. "Now, you can be on my team. Tom, you can be on the other team. We will try to score goals with the ball. Do you understand?"
+
+The dog barks and wags his tail. He understands. He likes to play soccer with Tom and Lily. They have a lot of fun. They are all friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Wow, look at the dog!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+Mia is not sure. She remembers what her mom told her. "We have to ask the owner first," she says. "And we have to be patient. Some dogs are shy or scared."
+
+They see a man with a leash. He is the owner of the dog. They walk up to him and say hello.
+
+"Hello, kids," the man says. "Do you like my dog? His name is Rex."
+
+"Yes, we do," Tom and Mia say. "Can we pet him, please?"
+
+The man smiles. He likes kids who are polite. "Sure, you can," he says. "But I recommend you stay calm and let him sniff you first. He needs to get to know you."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They follow the man's advice. They stay still and let Rex sniff their hands. Rex wags his tail. He likes them too. He licks their faces and lets them pet him.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They thank the man and Rex. They learned something new today. They learned how to be patient and respectful with dogs. They also made a new furry friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. Anna is very organized. She puts the blocks in different piles by color and shape. Ben is not very organized. He mixes the blocks and makes funny shapes.
+
+One day, they are playing with blocks in Anna's room. Anna says, "Ben, please do not mix my blocks. I like them in piles. It is easier to find them."
+
+Ben says, "But Anna, it is more fun to mix them. Look, I made a dinosaur with a square head and a triangle tail."
+
+Anna does not like Ben's dinosaur. She says, "That is not a dinosaur. That is a mess. Give me my blocks back."
+
+Ben does not want to give Anna her blocks back. He says, "No, they are mine now. I made them into something new."
+
+Anna and Ben start to pull the blocks from each other. They part the blocks with their hands. Some blocks fall on the floor. Some blocks hit their faces. They both cry.
+
+Anna's mom hears them crying. She comes to the room. She sees the blocks everywhere. She says, "What happened here? Why are you crying?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell her what happened. Anna's mom says, "You both need to share and be nice. Blocks are for playing, not for fighting. Anna, you can let Ben mix some of your blocks. Ben, you can help Anna make piles of her blocks. Then you can both make something together."
+
+Anna and Ben say they are sorry. They hug each other. They rub their faces where the blocks hit them. They say, "We are friends. We like to play with blocks."
+
+Anna's mom smiles. She says, "That's good. Now, let's clean up this mess and have some cookies."

+One day, they race to the park. They see a big hill. They want to race to the top. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to race.
+
+Tom is fast, but Jen is faster. She gets to the top first. She looks at the sky. She sees the sunset. It is red and orange and yellow. It is pretty.
+
+She says, "Look, Tom, look at the sunset!" Tom gets to the top too. He looks at the sky. He sees the sunset. He says, "Wow, it is pretty!"
+
+They sit on the hill and watch the sunset. They see the sun go down. They see the sky get dark. They see the stars come out. They are happy.
+
+They hear a noise. They look down. They see their dogs. Their dogs are barking. Their dogs are chasing a rabbit. The rabbit is running. The rabbit is scared.
+
+They say, "Stop, dogs, stop! Leave the rabbit alone!" They run down the hill. They catch their dogs. They hold their dogs. They say, "Bad dogs, bad!"
+
+They look for the rabbit. They see the rabbit. The rabbit is not moving. The rabbit is dead. They are sad.
+
+They say, "Sorry, rabbit, sorry!" They bury the rabbit. They say, "Goodbye, rabbit, goodbye!"
+
+They hug their dogs. They say, "We love you, dogs, but you have to be nice to rabbits. Rabbits are not for chasing. Rabbits are for living."
+
+They go home. They have dinner. They go to bed. They dream of the sunset and the rabbit. They hope the rabbit is happy in the sky. They hope the sun is happy too. They hope they can race again tomorrow. They are friends. The end.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big boat and a small boat. The big boat is red. The small boat is blue.

+"Look, Sam, I see a yellow fish!" Tim says.
+
+"Wow, Tim, I see a pink shell!" Sam says.
+
+They are happy. They sail closer to the reef. They do not see the rocks. The rocks are sharp and hard.
+
+Crash! The big boat hits a rock. The rock makes a hole in the boat. The water goes in the boat. The boat sinks.
+
+"Help, Sam, help!" Tim cries.
+
+Sam tries to help Tim. He sails to Tim with the small boat. But the small boat is too small. It cannot carry Tim and Sam. The water is deep and cold.
+
+"Sorry, Tim, sorry!" Sam says.
+
+They are scared. They shout for help. But no one hears them. They are too far from the shore. The fish and the shells do not help them. They are alone.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they do not have much furniture. They only have a bed, a table and a chair.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We have some money to spend. We can buy some new furniture for your room. What do you want?"
+
+Anna and Ben are very happy. They think hard. They want something fun and cozy.
+
+"I want a sofa!" says Anna. "I can sit and read on it. And I can nap on it too."
+
+"I want a shelf!" says Ben. "I can put my toys and books on it. And I can climb on it too."
+
+Their mom smiles. She says, "Those are good ideas. A sofa and a shelf are healthy for you. They make your room more comfortable and tidy. Let's go to the store and find them."
+
+Anna and Ben are very excited. They put on their shoes and coats. They hold their mom's hand. They go to the store and find a sofa and a shelf. They are colorful and soft. They fit in their room.

+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles. They also liked to splash in the water and look for shells. The sun was warm and the sea was peaceful.
+
+But then Lily saw something shiny in the water. She ran to get it, but it was too far. She asked Ben to help her. "Ben, Ben, come here! I see something shiny! Maybe it is a treasure!"
+
+Ben looked at the shiny thing. He did not think it was a treasure. He thought it was a can. He did not want to go in the water. He wanted to stay on the sand. He said to Lily, "No, Lily, it is not a treasure. It is a can. It is trash. We should not touch it. It can hurt us."
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted the shiny thing. She said to Ben, "No, Ben, it is a treasure. I want it. It is pretty. Please help me get it."
+
+But as Lily and Ben were talking, the tide was coming in. The water was getting higher and higher. The shiny thing was getting closer and closer. Lily did not notice the tide. She only saw the shiny thing. She ran into the water to get it.
+
+Ben saw the tide. He saw that the water was too deep for Lily. He saw that Lily was in danger. He shouted to Lily, "Lily, Lily, come back! The tide is coming in! The water is too deep! You can drown!"
+
+Lily heard Ben. She looked at the water. She saw that it was too deep. She saw that it was not peaceful. She saw that it was scary. She dropped the shiny thing. She tried to come back. But the tide was too strong. It pulled her in. She cried for help.
+
+Ben ran to Lily. He grabbed her hand. He pulled her out of the water. He brought her to the sand. He hugged her. He said to her, "Lily, Lily, are you okay? I am sorry I was mean to you. I was worried about you. I love you."
+
+Lily hugged Ben. She said to him, "Ben, Ben, I am okay. I am sorry I did not listen to you. I was silly. I love you too."
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They forgot about the shiny thing. They played on the beach again. They were careful of the tide. They were safe and peaceful.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They had a bucket and a water gun. They filled the bucket with water from the fountain and took turns to shoot each other with the water gun. They laughed and splashed and had fun.
+
+But then, a big boy came and took their bucket. He said it was his bucket and they had to give it to him. He was mean and rude. Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not want to lose their bucket.
+
+"Please, give us back our bucket," Lily said. "We were playing with it first."
+
+"No, it's mine now. Go away," the big boy said. He poured the water on the ground and threw the bucket away.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to get their bucket. But the big boy was faster. He grabbed the water gun and aimed at them. He was going to shoot them with the water gun.
+
+But then, a smart girl came and saw what was happening. She was older and taller than the big boy. She did not like bullies. She walked up to the big boy and said, "Hey, stop that. That's not nice. You can't take things that are not yours and hurt other kids."
+
+The big boy was surprised and scared. He dropped the water gun and ran away. He did not want to mess with the smart girl.
+
+The smart girl picked up the water gun and the bucket and gave them back to Lily and Ben. She said, "Here you go. I'm sorry he was mean to you. You can play with these. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They thanked the smart girl and invited her to join their game. They filled the bucket with water again and took turns to shoot each other with the water gun. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They made a new friend.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but there is a problem. A mean dog is sitting at the top of the slide. The dog barks and growls at anyone who comes near.
+
+"Let's go on the slide, Tom," Jen says. "We can be brave and fast."
+
+"I don't know, Jen," Tom says. "The dog looks angry and scary. Maybe we should play somewhere else."
+
+"No, Tom, we can do it. Trust me. I have a plan," Jen says. She whispers her plan to Tom. Tom nods and smiles.
+
+They wait for the right moment. When the dog is looking away, they run to the slide. Jen goes first. She slides down quickly and shouts, "Whee!" The dog hears her and turns around. He sees Tom coming down the slide. He jumps and tries to catch Tom. But Tom is too fast. He slides past the dog and lands on the ground. He and Jen run away. They escape from the dog.
+
+"Wow, Jen, that was fun and exciting!" Tom says. "You are smart and brave. Your plan worked."
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are honest and kind. You followed my plan," Jen says. They hug and laugh. They are happy. They go to play on the swings. They don't see the dog again. The dog is sad and lonely. He wishes he had a friend to play with. Maybe next time, he will be nice and share the slide.

+
+One day, they saw a big hill in the park. Tim wanted to ride down the hill very fast. He said it would be fun and exciting. Lily was scared. She said the hill was too steep and dangerous. Tim said she was a baby and he was brave. He told her to watch him ride down the hill. Lily stayed at the top of the hill.
+
+Tim got on his bike and started to ride down the hill. He went faster and faster. He rang his bell and shouted, "Whee!" He felt happy and proud. But then, he saw a big rock on the ground. He tried to avoid it, but it was too late. He hit the rock and fell off his bike. He hurt his knee and his arm. His bike was broken. The red paint was scratched and the bell was bent. He cried and cried.
+
+Lily heard him cry and ran down the hill. She saw him on the ground with his bike. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Are you okay, Tim?" Tim said, "No, I'm not okay. I hurt myself and my bike. My bike was expensive and now it's ruined. I was stupid and mean. I'm sorry, Lily." Lily said, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. You're not stupid and mean. You're my friend. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will help you."
+
+Lily helped Tim get up and walk to the nurse. She gave him her bike to ride. It was blue and rusty and had a sticker. But Tim didn't care. He said, "Thank you, Lily. Your bike is nice and good. You are the best friend ever." Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tim. I'm glad you're okay. Let's be careful next time." They rode to the nurse together. They were happy and friends.
