Lila wanted to pet it, but her dad said no. + +"That is the leopard's baby. The leopard will protect it from anyone who comes too close. It is not mild like a cat or a dog. It is wild and can bite or scratch," her dad explained. + +Lila nodded. She understood. She did not want to hurt the baby or make the leopard angry. She watched from a safe distance and smiled. + +"Hello, baby leopard. You are very pretty. I hope you have fun with your mom and dad. Maybe one day you will grow up and protect your own baby," she said softly. + +The baby leopard heard her and looked at her. It tilted its head and made a purr. Then it ran back to its mom and snuggled with her. Lila waved goodbye and followed her dad to see the next animal. +Lila liked to play in the park with her mom. She liked to swing, slide and run. She also liked to look at the birds. She saw many birds: pigeons, sparrows, ducks and one big black bird. She asked her mom what it was. + +"That is a raven, Lila. It is a smart and strong bird. But it can also be noisy and greedy. Be careful, it might try to take your snack." + +Lila nodded and put her snack in her pocket. She wanted to see the raven closer. She walked slowly to the tree where it was sitting. The raven looked at her with its shiny eyes. It tilted its head and made a loud sound. + +"Hello, raven. You are very attractive. I like your black feathers and your long beak. Do you want to be my friend?" Lila said. + +The raven blinked and made another sound. It hopped down from the tree and walked towards Lila. Lila smiled and reached out her hand. The raven pecked at her fingers gently. Lila giggled and stroked its head. + +"Thank you, raven. You are very nice. Do you want some of my snack?" Lila said. + +The raven nodded and made a happy sound. Lila took out her snack from her pocket. It was a cookie with chocolate chips. She broke it in half and gave one piece to the raven. The raven took it with its beak and ate it quickly. It made a satisfied sound and licked its beak. + +"Yummy, yummy. Thank you, Lila. You are very generous. Do you want to play with me?" The raven said. + +Lila was surprised and delighted. She did not know that the raven could talk. She nodded and said yes. The raven flapped its wings and flew to the swing. It landed on the seat and waited for Lila. Lila ran to the swing and sat next to the raven. She grabbed the rope and pulled. The swing moved back and forth. Lila and the raven laughed and enjoyed the ride. They became good friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they found a big root that stuck out of the ground. It looked like a funny snake. + +"Let's dig it out!" said Ben. He took a stick and started to poke the root. + +"No, don't do that!" said Lily. "It might hurt the plant. Let's leave it alone." + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to see the whole root. He poked harder and harder, until the root broke off. He held it up and smiled. + +"Look, I got it!" he said. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She loved the plant and did not want Ben to hurt it. She snatched the root from his hand and threw it away. + +"That was mean!" she said. "You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She ran away and left Ben alone. He felt sorry and sad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how. + +He went to look for the root. He found it on the ground. It was brown and dirty. He picked it up and smelled it. It was sour and yucky. He made a face and spit. + +"Yuck, this is gross!" he said. "Why did I want this? It is not fun at all." + +He wished he had listened to Lily. She was a good friend and knew more about plants. He wanted to give her a hug and tell her he was sorry. + +He ran to find Lily. He saw her sitting under a tree, wiping her eyes. He went to her and held out the root. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," he said. "I was silly and mean. I don't want this root. I want you to be my friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at him and saw that he was sorry. She saw the root and remembered how much she liked the plant. She felt sorry too. She took the root and smiled. + +"Ben, I forgive you," she said. "I was angry and sad. I don't want to lose you. You are my friend. Can we plant this root and make the plant grow again?" + +Ben nodded and hugged her. They went to the garden and dug a hole. They put the root in the hole and covered it with dirt. They watered it and hoped it would grow. + +They learned to be kind to plants and to each other. They learned to say sorry and to forgive. They were happy and stayed best friends. +Anna and Ben love winter. They love to play in the snow, make snowmen, and throw snowballs. They have a lot of fun outside with their warm coats, hats, and gloves. + +But one day, the snow starts to melt. The sun is too hot and the snow becomes water. Anna and Ben are sad. They can't play in the snow anymore. Their snowmen are gone and their snowballs are wet. They think winter is spoiled. + +They go inside and ask their mom what to do. Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says winter is not spoiled. It is just changing. She says winter is hard, but also beautiful. She says there are other things to do in winter, like drink hot cocoa, read books, and play games. + +She takes them to the kitchen and makes them some hot cocoa with marshmallows. She gives them some books and games to play with. Anna and Ben feel better. They sip their hot cocoa and enjoy their books and games. They still love winter, even when it is hard. They know winter will come back next year with more snow. +Lily wanted to play with the shiny ball on the shelf. But the shelf was too high for her. She tried to jump and reach the ball, but she could not. She tried to climb on a chair and reach the ball, but she could not. She tried to use a stick and reach the ball, but she could not. + +She was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted, "I want the ball! I want the ball!" + +Her mother heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and the ball on the shelf. She said, "Lily, why are you crying and shouting? What do you want?" + +Lily pointed to the ball and said, "I want the ball! It is shiny and pretty! Please give me the ball!" + +Her mother said, "Lily, the ball is not yours. It is your brother's. He got it for his birthday. You have to ask him nicely if you can play with it. You cannot just take it without his permission. That is not nice." + +Lily said, "But I want the ball! I want it now!" + +Her mother said, "Lily, you are being very persistent. But persistence is not always good. Sometimes you have to be patient and respectful. You have to wait for your turn and share with others. That is how you make friends and have fun. Do you understand?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She realized that her mother was right. She said, "I understand, mother. I am sorry for being persistent. I will ask my brother nicely if I can play with the ball. And I will give it back to him when I am done. Thank you, mother." + +Her mother smiled and hugged her. She said, "That is very good, Lily. I am proud of you. You are learning to be a kind and polite girl. Now go and find your brother and ask him nicely." + +Lily nodded and ran to find her brother. She asked him nicely if she could play with the ball. He said yes and gave it to her. They played together and had fun. Lily was happy and grateful. She learned that persistence is good when you have a goal, but not when you want something that is not yours. She learned to be patient and respectful. And she learned to share and make friends. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a mailbox by the road. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a big truck stop by their mailbox. A man gets out and puts something in their mailbox. He waves at them and drives away. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. + +"Let's go see!" Lily says. + +They run to the mailbox and open it. Inside, they find a big envelope with their names on it. They open it and see a card with a picture of a cake and a balloon. It says, "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily! Love, Grandma and Grandpa." + +Tom and Lily smile. They love their grandma and grandpa. They also love cake and balloons. + +They look inside the envelope again and see something else. It is a small bag with two cookies. The cookies have chocolate chips and sprinkles. They look delicious. + +"Wow, cookies!" Tom says. + +"Yummy, cookies!" Lily says. + +They each take a cookie and bite it. It is soft and sweet and crunchy. They make happy noises. + +They share their cookies with each other. They poke each other with their fingers and giggle. + +They say, "Thank you, grandma and grandpa!" + +They put the card and the envelope back in the mailbox. They run back to their yard and play some more. They have a very good day. +Lily and Ben are playing outside with chalk. They draw big circles and squares on the sidewalk. They use blue, green, yellow and pink chalk. Lily likes pink the best. She makes a big pink heart and writes her name inside. + +"Look, Ben, this is my heart," she says. "Do you like it?" + +Ben nods. He likes Lily's heart. He makes a big yellow star and writes his name inside. He shows it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, this is my star," he says. "Do you like it?" + +Lily nods. She likes Ben's star. They smile at each other. They are good friends. + +But then it starts to rain. The raindrops fall on the sidewalk. They make the chalk wet and blurry. Lily and Ben run to the porch. They watch the rain pour on their drawings. + +"Oh no, our chalk is gone!" Lily says. She feels sad. She likes her heart and Ben's star. + +Ben feels sad too. He likes his star and Lily's heart. He thinks of something. He runs inside and gets a big umbrella. He comes back and gives it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily, take this," he says. "We can still see our chalk." + +Lily takes the umbrella. She smiles at Ben. He smiles back. They hold the umbrella together. They walk to the sidewalk. They see their chalk. It is still there, but faint. The rain has not washed it away completely. + +"Look, Ben, our chalk is still here!" Lily says. She feels happy. She likes her heart and Ben's star. + +"Look, Lily, our chalk is still here!" Ben says. He feels happy. He likes his star and Lily's heart. + +They hug each other. They are good friends. They don't mind the rain. They have each other and their chalk. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They ran to the fountain and looked at it. + +"Wow, look at the water!" Lily said. "It is so lovely and shiny!" + +"Yes, and look at the mist!" Tom said. "It is like a cloud that we can touch!" + +They put their hands in the mist and felt the water drops. They laughed and smiled. They liked the mist. + +Then they saw a man with a camera. He was taking pictures of the fountain. He saw Lily and Tom and smiled. + +"Hello, children. Do you like the fountain?" he asked. + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Tom said. + +"Can I take a picture of you with the fountain?" he asked. "You are very cute and the fountain is very beautiful. It will be a nice display for my photo album." + +"Okay!" Lily and Tom said. They liked to have their picture taken. + +They stood in front of the fountain and smiled. The man took the picture and showed it to them. + +"Look, you are in the picture with the lovely water and the mist!" he said. + +"Wow, we are!" Lily and Tom said. They liked the picture. + +They thanked the man and said goodbye. They went back to playing in the park. They had a lot of fun. They liked the fountain and the mist and the picture. They were happy. +Ben and Lily like to play with blocks. They build houses, cars, and castles with them. One day, they find a huge battery in the garage. It is shiny and has two wires. + +"Let's use the battery to make our blocks light up!" Ben says. He takes the battery and the wires and tries to connect them to the blocks. + +"No, Ben, that is not safe!" Lily says. She is scared of the battery. She thinks it might hurt them. "Put the battery back where you found it!" + +But Ben does not listen. He wants to see what the battery can do. He touches one wire to a block and the other wire to another block. Suddenly, there is a loud pop and a flash. The battery sparks and smokes. The blocks fall down. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He drops the wires and holds his hand. The battery burned him. He is sorry he did not listen to Lily. + +Lily runs to Ben and hugs him. She is sorry he is hurt. She helps him go to Mommy. Mommy puts a band-aid on Ben's hand and gives him a hug. She tells him not to play with batteries. They are dangerous. + +Ben and Lily say sorry to Mommy. They promise not to touch batteries again. They go back to their blocks and build something else. They are happy to play together. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big red car in the park. It has four wheels and a shiny horn. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Tim says. "It is so cool. I want to drive it." + +"No, I want to drive it!" Sam says. "It is my car. I saw it first." + +They disagree. They both pull the car. They are angry and sad. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice says. It is the owner of the car. He is a man with a hat and a beard. He is smart. He knows how to fix cars. + +"Who are you?" Tim and Sam ask. + +"I am the owner of this car," the man says. "I left it here for a moment. I had to get something from my truck. This is not a toy. It is a real car. You cannot play with it." + +Tim and Sam are surprised. They did not know it was a real car. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, sir," they say. "We did not mean to hurt your car. We just wanted to have fun." + +The owner smiles. He is kind. He understands. + +"It is okay, boys," he says. "I am not mad. But you have to be careful. Cars are not for children. They are dangerous. You could get hurt. Why don't you play with these instead?" + +He gives them two small cars. They are plastic and colorful. They have stickers and sounds. + +"Thank you, sir!" Tim and Sam say. "These cars are awesome. We love them." + +They are happy. They forget their disagreement. They share the cars. They play together. They are friends again. +Anna and Ben like to pretend. They have a big box of toys and costumes. They can be anything they want. Today, they pretend to be pirates. They wear hats and eye patches. They have swords and maps. They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!". + +They sail on their ship, which is really a sofa. They look for treasure on islands, which are really pillows. They fight with other pirates, which are really stuffed animals. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Anna sees a spider on the wall. She is afraid of spiders. She screams and drops her sword. She runs to her mom. She says "Mom, mom, there is a spider! Help me!" + +Ben hears Anna scream. He worries about her. He leaves his ship and runs to her. He sees the spider. He is not afraid of spiders. He says "Don't worry, Anna. It is just a spider. It won't hurt you. I will get rid of it." + +He takes a paper cup and a paper plate. He puts the cup over the spider. He slides the plate under the cup. He carries the spider outside. He lets it go in the garden. He says "Bye, spider. Go find a new home." + +He comes back to Anna and her mom. He says "I saved you, Anna. The spider is gone. Are you okay?" Anna hugs him. She says "Thank you, Ben. You are very brave. You are my hero." Her mom smiles. She says "You are both very original. You are great pirates. Do you want to play some more?" Anna and Ben nod. They say "Yes, please." They go back to their ship. They pretend to be pirates again. They have a lot of fun. +Lily liked to spend time with her daddy. He was very fun and nice. He taught her how to draw, how to sing, and how to play games. Lily loved her daddy very much. + +One day, daddy said he had to go away for a while. He said he had to work in a far place. He said he would come back soon. He gave Lily a big hug and a kiss. He also gave her a present. It was a soft toy. It was orange and had long ears. It was a bunny. + +Lily was sad that daddy had to go. She missed him a lot. She hugged her orange bunny every night. She hoped daddy would come back soon. She asked mommy when daddy would come back. Mommy said she did not know. She said daddy was very busy. She said they had to wait. + +Lily waited and waited. She waited for days and weeks and months. She did not see daddy. She did not hear from daddy. She did not get any letters or calls from daddy. She wondered if daddy forgot about her. She wondered if daddy loved her. + +One day, mommy told Lily some bad news. She said daddy was not coming back. She said daddy had an accident. She said daddy was gone. Lily did not understand. She cried and cried. She felt very sad and angry. She threw her orange bunny on the floor. She did not want it anymore. She did not want anything. She only wanted her daddy. But daddy was not there. Daddy was never there. +Tim and Jen are playing in the park. They see a big bunny with long ears and a fluffy tail. They want to pet the bunny, so they run after it. + +"Come here, bunny, we are nice!" Tim says. + +But the bunny is fast and hops away. Tim and Jen hop after the bunny, but they cannot catch it. They hop and hop and hop for a long minute. + +"Wait, Tim, look!" Jen says. She points to something on the ground. It is a tag that says "fake fur". + +The bunny is not a real bunny. It is a fake bunny. Someone left it in the park. + +Tim and Jen feel sad and silly. They wanted to pet a real bunny, not a fake one. + +"Maybe we can find a real bunny another day," Jen says. + +"Or maybe we can keep the fake one and pretend it is real," Tim says. + +They pick up the fake bunny and hug it. They hop back to their mom and dad, who are waiting for them. They show them the fake bunny and tell them their story. + +Mom and dad smile and laugh. They say they are proud of Tim and Jen for being kind and brave. They say they can keep the fake bunny if they want. + +Tim and Jen are happy. They have a new friend, even if it is a fake one. They hop and play with the fake bunny until it is time to go home. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. They sang songs and played games on the way. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Soon, honey. We are going to enter a big park with lots of animals and rides. You will love it!" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They liked animals and rides. They looked out the window and saw trees and hills and signs. + +They entered the park and saw a big gate with colorful letters. It said "Welcome to Funland". They got out of the car and followed Mom and Dad to the ticket booth. + +"Hello, how many tickets do you need?" the lady asked. + +"Four, please. Two adults and two kids," Dad said. + +"I'm sorry, but we are closed today. There was a big storm last night and some of the rides are broken. We are working hard to fix them, but it will take some time. We are very sorry for the inconvenience," the lady said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted to see the animals and ride the rides. They had been looking forward to the vacation for a long time. + +"But we drove so far. Can't we just see some of the animals?" Anna asked. + +"I'm afraid not, sweetie. The animals are also scared and need some rest. Maybe you can come back another day," the lady said. + +Anna and Ben started to cry. Mom and Dad hugged them and tried to cheer them up. + +"Don't worry, kids. We will find another place to have fun. Maybe we can go to the lake or the museum or the zoo. We will still have a great vacation, OK?" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and got back in the car. They hoped they would find something fun to do. They still loved their Mom and Dad and each other. They knew they would have a good time together, no matter what. +Sara and Tom were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Sara liked to pack her own bag. She put in her dress, her hat, her doll and her book. Tom liked to pack his own bag too. He put in his shirt, his pants, his car and his ball. + +"Are you ready?" Mom asked. "We have to go soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Sara and Tom said. + +They took their bags and went to the car. Mom put their bags in the trunk. Dad was driving the car. They waved goodbye to their house and their cat. + +The car ride was long. Sara and Tom looked out the window. They saw trees, cows, houses and cars. They sang songs and played games. They asked Mom and Dad many questions. + +"Are we there yet?" Sara asked. + +"Soon, honey," Mom said. + +"Can I have a snack?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, sweetie," Dad said. He gave them a tray with crackers and juice. Sara and Tom ate and drank. They said thank you. + +They were almost at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They saw a sign with their name. They turned into a driveway. They saw a big house with flowers and a porch. They saw Grandma and Grandpa waiting for them. + +"Hello, hello!" Grandma and Grandpa said. They hugged and kissed Sara and Tom. They took their bags and led them inside. + +Sara and Tom were happy to see Grandma and Grandpa. They wanted to show them their toys and books. They wanted to play with their dog and their swing. They wanted to eat their cookies and their cake. + +But first, they had to unpack their bags. They went to their room. They opened their bags. They took out their clothes and toys. They put them on the bed and the shelf. + +But there was something else in their bags. Something that was not theirs. Something that was furry and meowed. + +It was their cat. Their cat was nosy. Their cat had sneaked into their bags. Their cat had come with them. + +"Meow!" their cat said. + +"Look!" Sara and Tom said. They laughed and hugged their cat. + +"Surprise!" Mom and Dad said. They came into the room. They saw their cat. + +"Oh, no!" Mom and Dad said. They looked at each other. They did not know what to do. + +"Can we keep him?" Sara and Tom asked. They looked at Mom and Dad. They looked at Grandma and Grandpa. + +Grandma and Grandpa smiled. They liked cats. They liked surprises. They liked Sara and Tom. + +"Of course you can," Grandma and Grandpa said. "He is part of the family." + +Sara and Tom were very happy. They thanked Grandma and Grandpa. They thanked Mom and Dad. They thanked their cat. + +They unpacked their bags. They played with their cat. They had a wonderful visit. +Tom was a gifted boy. He could draw, sing and play games very well. He had many toys and books, but he wanted something else. He wanted a friend. + +One day, he saw a new girl in his class. Her name was Lily. She had long hair and a big smile. Tom liked her. He wanted to talk to her, but he was shy. He did not know what to say. + +He had an idea. He drew a picture of Lily and him playing in the park. He wrote "Will you be my friend?" on the bottom. He put the picture in his backpack. He wanted to give it to Lily at the end of the day. + +But he did not get the chance. When the bell rang, Lily ran out of the class. She did not see Tom. Tom was sad. He went home with his backpack. + +The next day, he tried again. He waited for Lily in the playground. He saw her sitting on a bench. He walked towards her with his picture. He wanted to show her his gift. + +But he did not get there. A big boy pushed him and took his backpack. He laughed and ran away. Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tom. She wanted to help him. + +She ran after the big boy. She caught him and took the backpack. She gave it back to Tom. She said "Are you okay?" Tom nodded. He opened his backpack. He took out his picture. He gave it to Lily. He said "This is for you." + +Lily looked at the picture. She smiled. She said "This is very nice. Thank you." She hugged Tom. She said "Yes, I will be your friend." + +Tom was happy. He had a friend. He did not want anything else. +Sara and Tom are twins who like to dig in the dirt. They have a big shovel and a small bucket. They want to find something shiny or pretty in the dirt. They dig and dig until they are very sleepy. + +"Look, Sara, I found something!" Tom says. He holds up a small rock that has many colors. It sparkles in the sun. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a mineral!" Sara says. She knows some big words from her books. "A mineral is a thing that comes from the earth. It can be hard or soft, and have different shapes and colors." + +"Can I keep it?" Tom asks. He likes his mineral. It is his treasure. + +"Of course you can, Tom. It is yours. You found it. Maybe we can find more minerals tomorrow." Sara says. She is happy for her brother. + +They put the mineral in the bucket and go back to the house. They are very tired from digging. They wash their hands and faces and go to bed. They dream of finding more minerals in the dirt. They are sleepy diggers. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside at night. They look at the sky and see many stars. Anna knows the names of some stars. She likes to show them to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, that is the Big Bear," Anna says. She points to a group of stars. "It has a long tail and a big head." + +"Wow, that is cool," Ben says. He tries to find the Big Bear. "Can you show me another star?" + +Anna nods. She looks for another star. She sees a bright star near the moon. She knows it is a special star. She tells Ben. + +"That is the North Star," Anna says. She points to the bright star. "It is very important. It helps people find their way." + +Ben looks at the North Star. He thinks it is very pretty. He wants to know more. + +"Why is it important?" Ben asks. He is serious. He likes to learn new things. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers what her mom told her. + +"It is important because it does not move," Anna says. "It stays in the same place all the time. So people can use it to know where they are." + +Ben nods. He understands. He thinks the North Star is very smart. + +"Thank you for showing me the stars, Anna," Ben says. He smiles. He is happy. + +"You are welcome, Ben," Anna says. She smiles too. She is happy. They are friends. They like the stars. +Sara and Tom were happy to go to school. They had new bags and new things inside. They wanted to show their friends and teacher. + +They got to their classroom and said hello to everyone. Then they looked for their desks. Sara found hers and started to unpack her bag. She took out her books, her pencil case, and her eraser. She liked her eraser. It was pink and shaped like a bunny. She put it on her desk and smiled. + +Tom found his desk next to Sara. He also unpacked his bag. He took out his books, his pencil case, and his snack. He liked his snack. It was a sandwich with cheese and ham. He put it in his drawer and licked his lips. + +"Hi, Sara," Tom said. "What do you have in your bag?" + +"Hi, Tom," Sara said. "I have books, pencils, and an eraser. Look, it is a bunny. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, it is cute," Tom said. "I have books, pencils, and a snack. Look, it is a sandwich. Do you want some?" + +"Thank you, but no," Sara said. "I have my own snack. It is an apple. It is tasty and healthy." + +"OK, then," Tom said. "Maybe we can share later. Let's put our things away and listen to the teacher. She is going to read us a story." + +"OK, let's do that," Sara said. "I like stories. They are fun and interesting." + +They put their things away and sat on their chairs. They listened to the teacher and enjoyed the story. They were happy to be at school. +Tommy loved his dog, Spot. Spot was big and brown and liked to play fetch. Tommy and Spot were best friends. But one day, Spot got sick. He did not want to eat or run or bark. He just lay on his bed and looked sad. + +Tommy was worried. He asked his mom, "What is wrong with Spot? Can we help him?" + +Mom said, "Spot needs to see a veterinarian. A veterinarian is a person who helps sick animals. We will take him to the clinic and see what they can do." + +Tommy and mom put Spot in the car and drove to the clinic. Tommy held Spot's paw and told him, "Don't be scared, Spot. The veterinarian will make you better." + +At the clinic, they met a nice lady in a white coat. She was the veterinarian. She smiled and said, "Hello, Tommy. Hello, Spot. I'm Dr. Lee. I'm here to help you." + +She took Spot to a room with a table and some machines. She asked Tommy and mom to kneel next to Spot and pet him. She said, "I'm going to check Spot's heart and temperature and give him some medicine. It might hurt a little, but it will help him feel better. Can you be brave, Spot?" + +Spot whimpered and licked Tommy's face. Tommy hugged Spot and said, "You can do it, Spot. I love you. You are my best friend." + +Dr. Lee was gentle and quick. She gave Spot a shot and a pill and put a bandage on his leg. She said, "Good boy, Spot. You did great. You have a small infection, but the medicine will fight it. You should be fine in a few days. Just rest and drink lots of water." + +Tommy and mom thanked Dr. Lee and took Spot home. Spot was still tired, but he wagged his tail and looked happier. Tommy gave him a treat and a toy and said, "You are a good boy, Spot. I'm proud of you. You are not scared of the veterinarian. You are strong and brave." + +Spot barked and licked Tommy's face. Tommy and Spot cuddled on the couch and watched a movie. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a shiny coin that he found in his pocket. He liked to spin it on the floor and watch it sparkle. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She liked to brush its hair and dress it up. + +"Can I see your coin, Tom?" Lily asked. "It looks so pretty." + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Tom said. He gave his coin to Lily and took her doll. He pretended to make the doll talk and dance. + +Lily looked at the coin. It had a picture of a man on one side and a bird on the other. She thought it was very unique. She wanted to keep it for herself. She had an idea. She ran to her room and found another coin in her piggy bank. It looked similar to Tom's coin, but it had a different picture on it. She decided to replace Tom's coin with her coin. She thought he would not notice. + +She came back to the living room and gave the coin to Tom. "Here you go, Tom. Thank you for letting me see your coin. Can I have my doll back?" + +Tom took the coin and gave the doll to Lily. He looked at the coin and saw that it was not his coin. He felt angry and sad. He knew that Lily had replaced his coin with another one. He said, "Lily, this is not my coin. This is your coin. You took my coin and gave me yours. That is not nice. That is not fair. Give me back my coin." + +Lily felt guilty and scared. She knew that she had done something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I liked your coin so much. I wanted to have it.

They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. One day, they saw a ladder leaning on the tree. They wanted to climb up and see what was on top. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" said Lily. + +"OK, but be careful!" said Ben. + +They took turns to climb the ladder, holding on to the branches. They reached the top and saw a bird's nest with three eggs inside. + +"Wow, look at the eggs!" said Ben. + +"They are so pretty!" said Lily. + +They wanted to touch the eggs, but they remembered what their mom had told them. + +"Don't touch the eggs, or you will spoil them. The bird mom will be sad," said Lily. + +"You are right. We should leave them alone," said Ben. + +They climbed down the ladder and went back to the swing and the slide. They were happy that they had seen the eggs, but they were also helpful and did not spoil them. They hoped that the bird mom would come back soon and take care of her babies. +Lily was a girl with long hair. She liked to play with her hair and make braids and bows. But her hair was also hard to wash and comb. Sometimes it got tangled and hurt. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we are going to the salon. You need a haircut. It will make your hair easier to take care of and look nice." + +Lily was scared. She did not want to cut her hair. She liked her hair long. She said, "No, mom, I don't want a haircut. Please don't cut my hair." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It will not hurt. And you can choose how much to cut. You can still have long hair, but not too long. And you can pick a new hair clip or a ribbon as a treat." + +Lily felt a little better. She trusted her mom. She said, "Okay, mom, I will try. But can you bring my teddy bear? He will make me brave." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You can bring your teddy bear. He will like the salon too." + +They went to the salon.

You can stay with me. But you don't have to be afraid of the water. It is safe and beautiful. Maybe you can try to go a little bit with Ben. He will help you and protect you.

She saw that they had ordered pizza and was very angry. She called Anna and told her what happened. Anna was also angry and surprised. She went to their room and scolded them. + +"Lila and Ben, what did you do? You ordered pizza without asking me? That is very bad and rude. You wasted your mom's money and lied to me.

They realized they had made a big mistake. They canceled the order and said they were sorry to Anna and their mom. They sat on their beds and did not play for a long time.

Your dad gave it to me. It is expensive. It means he loves me very much." + +Lily wanted a ring too. She thought, "If I have a ring, Max will love me very much."

He saw Lily and said, "Hi, Lily. What do you have on your thumb?" + +Lily said, "This is a ring. It is expensive. It means you love me very much." + +Max looked at the ring and said, "That is not a ring. That is a sticker. It is not expensive. It is cheap. And I don't love you very much. I love my cars more. Go away, Lily." + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She said, "You are mean, Max. You are not my friend. I hate you." She pulled the sticker off her thumb and threw it at Max. Then she ran away crying. + +Max did not care. He picked up the sticker and stuck it on his car. He said, "This is a cool sticker. It makes my car faster. I love my car very much."

It was bigger than the other ducks and had a long neck. It was white and orange and had a funny sound. Lily wanted to feed it, but it was distant from the other ducks.

"And our door is gone!" + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "Don't be sad. We can make another fort. And maybe we can find another button." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "You're right. It's just a silly button. Spot can have it. He likes shiny things." + +They picked up their toys, books, and clothes and put them back in their room. Then they went to look for another sack and another button. They still wanted to make a fort. And they still wanted to have fun. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They dig a big hole. They find something shiny in the hole. + +"Look, Anna, I found a coin!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, it is shiny and round. Can I see?" Anna says. + +Tom gives Anna the coin. She rubs it with her hand. It feels smooth and cold. She likes the coin. + +"Can we keep it, Tom?" Anna says. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to hide it. Someone might take it," Tom says. + +They think of a good place to hide the coin. They see a jar of salt on the picnic table. Salt is white and tasty. They like to put salt on their food. + +"I have an idea, Anna. We can bury the coin in the salt. Then no one will find it," Tom says. + +"That is a good idea, Tom. Let's do it," Anna says. + +They take the jar of salt and pour some of it in the hole. They put the coin in the salt. They pour more salt on top of the coin. They pat the salt with their hands. They make it flat and smooth. + +They put the jar of salt back on the picnic table. They smile at each other. They are happy. They have a secret. They have a shiny coin. They will come back later and dig it out. They hug and run to play some more. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big structure with many colors. Lily had a ruler. She liked to measure the blocks and tell Ben where to put them. + +"Ben, this block is too small. You need a bigger one. Measure it with the ruler," Lily said. She was very bossy. + +Ben did not like to measure the blocks. He wanted to use his imagination and make his own structure. He did not listen to Lily. He put the small block on top of the big one. + +"Ben, no! That is wrong. The structure will fall down. Listen to me. I know how to build it," Lily said. She was angry. + +Ben did not care. He thought Lily was mean. He put another small block on top of the other one. He smiled. + +"Ben, stop! You are ruining the structure. You are a bad builder. Give me the ruler. I will fix it," Lily said. She grabbed the ruler from Ben. + +Ben did not like that. He grabbed the ruler back from Lily. They pulled and pushed. The ruler broke. The blocks fell down. The structure was gone. + +Lily and Ben cried. They were sad. They had no ruler, no blocks, and no structure. They had no fun. They had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy kitchen. They pretend to make food and drinks for each other and their stuffed animals. One day, Sara decides to make tea for Ben and his teddy bear. + +"Here you go, Ben. Tea for you and teddy," Sara says, handing him a plastic cup and a saucer. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good cook," Ben says, taking a sip of the pretend tea. + +But then he makes a face and spits it out. "Yuck! This tea is sour! It tastes like lemon juice!" he says, putting the cup down. + +Sara looks surprised and hurt. She made the tea with water and sugar, just like her mom does. She did not put any lemon juice in it. She thinks Ben is being rude and mean. + +"No, it is not sour. It is sweet and yummy. You are lying, Ben. You are a bad guest," Sara says, getting angry. + +She demands that Ben apologizes and drinks the tea. She says he has to be nice to her and teddy, or she will not play with him anymore. + +Ben does not want to lose his friend, but he also does not want to drink the sour tea. He thinks Sara is being bossy and stubborn. He says he is sorry, but he does not like the tea. He asks if they can play something else. + +Sara and Ben stare at each other, not knowing what to do. They both love to play with their toy kitchen, but they do not agree on how to make tea. They wonder if they can still be friends. +Mira and Ravi were twins who loved to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide, and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Lila who liked to run and chase them. + +One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. The truck had a picture of a sofa on it. Mira and Ravi wondered what was inside. + +"Look, Mom and Dad got a new sofa!" Mira said. + +"Wow, it looks so soft and cozy!" Ravi said. + +They ran inside to see the new sofa. It was blue and fluffy, with pillows and blankets. Mom and Dad smiled and invited them to sit on it. + +"Isn't it nice?" Mom asked. + +"It's a luxury!" Dad said. + +Mira and Ravi nodded. They felt the sofa with their hands and feet. They snuggled with Lila and each other. They felt warm and happy. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the new sofa!" Mira said. + +"Yes, thank you, we are very grateful!" Ravi said. + +They hugged Mom and Dad and kissed them on the cheek. Then they knelt on the floor and played with Lila. They had a lot of fun on their new sofa. They felt lucky and loved. +Lily and Anna were sisters who liked to play with their mom's makeup. One day, they found a red lipstick and a black eyeliner in the bathroom. They decided to use them to make each other look funny. + +"Let me draw on your face," Lily said to Anna. She took the eyeliner and made a big circle around Anna's eye. "Now you look like a pirate!" + +Anna giggled and took the lipstick. She smeared it all over Lily's mouth. "Now you look like a clown!" + +They laughed and looked at themselves in the mirror. They thought they looked very silly and cute. + +But then their mom came in and saw them. She was very angry. She did not like them to touch her makeup. She said it was expensive and not for children. + +"Look what you did!" she shouted. "You ruined my makeup and made a mess! You are very naughty girls!" + +She took the makeup away from them and wiped their faces with a wet cloth. She said they had to go to their room and stay there until dinner. + +Lily and Anna felt very sad and sorry. They did not mean to make their mom mad. They just wanted to have fun. + +They went to their room and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. + +They hoped their mom would not be mad at them for too long. They hoped she would not be dead to them. They hoped she would still love them too. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big truck with a loud horn. The truck was yellow and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben said. "It has a big horn. I want to hear it." + +He ran to the truck and climbed on the front. He saw a button that said "horn". He pushed it hard. + +BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! + +The horn was very loud. It made Ben and Lily and everyone in the park jump. The truck driver came out of the truck. He was angry. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing?" he shouted. "Get off my truck. You scared me and everyone else. That horn is not a toy." + +Ben was scared. He did not know what to say. He wanted to run away. But Lily came to help him. + +"I'm sorry, sir," she said. "Ben was just curious. He likes trucks. He did not mean to be bad. Please don't be mad at him." + +The truck driver looked at Lily. She had big eyes and a sweet smile. He felt a little less angry. + +"Well, okay," he said. "But you should not touch things that are not yours. And you should be careful around trucks. They can be dangerous. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, sir," Ben and Lily said. They nodded their heads. + +"Good," he said. "Now go back to your parents. And don't do that again." + +He got back in his truck and drove away. Ben and Lily ran to their parents. They were worried. They thought their parents would be angry too. + +But their parents were not angry. They were glad that Ben and Lily were safe. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"We're sorry, mommy and daddy," Ben and Lily said. "We won't touch trucks anymore." + +"That's good," their parents said. "We love you. And we're proud of you for being brave and polite. You said sorry to the truck driver. That was the right thing to do." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They felt better. They learned a lesson. They had fun in the park. But they did not touch any more horns. +Lily liked to watch her dad work on cars. He was a mechanic. He fixed cars that were broken or old. Sometimes he let Lily help him with small things, like handing him tools or wiping the dirt. + +One day, he was working on a new car. It was shiny and red. Lily wanted to see it better, so she climbed on a stool next to the car. She saw a lot of wires and buttons inside the car. She wondered what they did. + +She reached out her hand to touch one of the wires. She thought it looked like a snake. But before she could touch it, her dad saw her and said, "No, Lily, don't touch that! It could hurt you!" + +He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the car. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to scare you. But you have to be careful around cars. Some parts are dangerous and can shock you or burn you. You have to ask me before you touch anything, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, dad, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see the new car. It's very pretty." + +Her dad smiled and said, "It is, isn't it? Do you want to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive?" + +Lily's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, please!" + +Her dad lifted her up and put her in the seat. He buckled her seat belt and gave her a toy steering wheel. He said, "There you go, Lily. Now you can drive the new car. But only in your imagination, okay?" + +Lily giggled and said, "Okay, dad. Vroom, vroom!" She turned the wheel and made car noises. She felt very happy and proud. She loved her dad and his cars. +One day, a careless pig was looking for food in the farm. He saw a big pile of apples in a basket. He wanted to eat them all. He did not see the farmer or the dog near the basket. + +The pig ran to the basket and jumped on it. He tried to grab the apples with his mouth. But the basket was not strong. It broke under the pig's weight. The apples fell to the ground. The pig fell too. He hurt his nose and his leg. + +The farmer and the dog heard the noise. They came to see what happened. They saw the pig and the apples. The farmer was angry. The dog was happy. He barked at the pig and chased him away. + +The pig ran as fast as he could. He was scared and sorry. He wished he had been more careful. He learned his lesson. He never tried to spring on the farmer's basket again. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play games. Sometimes they are competitive. They want to win. + +One day, they play a game with shirts.

They hug each other. They say, "We are both winners. We are brothers." +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they go to the shop with Mom. Mom says they can buy one toy each. Tom sees a big red car. He wants it very much. Anna sees a pretty pink doll. She wants it very much. + +They run to the toys and grab them. But there is a problem. The car and the doll are very expensive. Mom says they are too much money. She says they have to choose something else. Tom and Anna are sad. They do not want to let go of the toys. + +Mom sees a box of crayons and a book of stickers. She says they are cheap and fun. She says they can buy them and share them. Tom and Anna think about it. They like to draw and stick. They like to share with each other. They decide to put back the car and the doll. They take the crayons and the stickers. + +They go to the counter and pay for the toys. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says she is proud of them. She says they are good and kind. Tom and Anna are happy. They say they love Mom. They go home and play with the crayons and the stickers. They have no pain. They have fun. +Ben and Lily wanted to see the reindeer at the farm. They asked their mom to take them there. Mom said yes, but they had to do their chores first. Ben and Lily did not like chores, but they wanted to see the reindeer very much. + +They helped mom clean the dishes, make the beds, and fold the clothes. They worked hard and fast. Mom was happy and said they did a good job. She said they could go to the farm now. Ben and Lily were excited and put on their coats and hats. + +At the farm, they saw many animals. They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. They also saw the reindeer. The reindeer had big horns and soft fur. They looked friendly and cute. Ben and Lily wanted to pet them and feed them. + +They asked the farmer if they could. The farmer said yes, but they had to be careful and gentle. He gave them some carrots and apples to feed the reindeer. Ben and Lily walked slowly to the reindeer. They held out their hands with the food. + +The reindeer came closer and sniffed their hands.

They brought her gifts and cake and balloons. Lily was happy, but she could not hear what they said. + +Some of the friends did not know that Lily was deaf. They tried to talk to her, but she did not answer. They thought she was rude or shy. They got angry and left her alone. Lily did not know why they were mad. She felt sad and lonely. + +One of the friends, Ben, knew that Lily was deaf. He wanted to help her. He knew some signs that Lily could understand. He went to her and signed, "Hi, I am Ben. Do you want to play?" Lily smiled and nodded. She signed, "Yes, thank you. You are nice." + +Ben and Lily played with the dolls and the balloons. They had fun and laughed. They did not need words to be friends. They liked each other. + +But some of the other friends saw them and got jealous. They did not like that Ben and Lily were happy.

They made a big mess and a loud noise. + +Lily and Ben were scared and confused. They did not know what was happening. They tried to run away, but the other friends blocked them. They pushed them and laughed at them. They said mean things that Lily could not hear, but Ben could. He felt hurt and angry. + +Lily and Ben struggled to get out, but they could not. They cried and hugged each other. They wished the party would end. They wished they had no friends. They wished they were deaf and blind. +Lila and Rex were best friends. Rex was a big dog and Lila was a little girl. They liked to play in the park every day. They enjoyed running, jumping and chasing each other. They also liked to sit under a tree and share a snack. Rex was loyal to Lila and Lila loved Rex very much. + +One day, they went to the park as usual. The sun was bright and warm. Lila and Rex were happy. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lila wanted to feed the ducks some bread. She said to Rex, "Stay here, Rex. I will be back soon. Don't go near the water. It is deep and dangerous." + +Rex nodded and wagged his tail. He watched Lila walk to the pond. He waited for her to come back. But he was bored and curious. He saw a shiny ball floating on the water. He thought it was a toy. He wanted to play with it. He forgot what Lila said. He ran to the water and jumped in. + +Lila heard a splash and turned around. She saw Rex in the water. He was struggling and barking. He could not swim. He was scared and sorry. Lila screamed and ran to the water. She tried to reach Rex. But she was too small and the water was too deep. She could not save Rex. She cried and cried. + +The ducks flew away. The fish hid under the water. The sun hid behind a cloud. The park was quiet and sad. Lila and Rex were not happy anymore. They were not best friends anymore. Rex was gone and Lila was alone. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sam was a lion and Lily was a bird. + +"Roar!" Sam said, jumping on the couch. "I am the king of the jungle!" + +"Tweet, tweet!" Lily said, flying around the room. "I am the fastest bird in the sky!" + +They laughed and chased each other until their mom came in. She looked at the mess they had made and frowned. + +"Sam, Lily, it's time to clean up!" she said. "You can't leave your toys everywhere. Someone might trip and get hurt." + +Sam and Lily did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and their game. They looked at each other and had an idea. + +"Mom, can we pause?" Sam asked. "We want to finish our game. It's very fun." + +"Pause?" mom asked. "What do you mean?" + +"Pause means stop for a little bit," Lily explained. "Like when you watch a movie and you press the button. Then you can start again later." + +Mom smiled. She understood what they meant. She thought they were very clever and cute. + +"Okay, you can pause," she said. "But only for five minutes. Then you have to clean up, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" Sam and Lily said. They hugged their mom and went back to their game. They were happy they could pause and play a little more. They decided to be friends with the lion and the bird. They also decided to clean up after they finished. They wanted to make their mom happy and their living room clean. They knew that cleaning up was also part of playing. They loved their toys and their mom. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with rocks and grass. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or bugs or birds." + +"OK, Anna," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep. We don't want to fall and get hurt." + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw some yellow flowers and some red bugs and some blue birds. They were happy and curious. They kept climbing until they reached the top of the hill. + +They looked around and saw a big lake with water and fish and ducks. They also saw a cliff that was very close to the edge of the hill. The cliff was a place where the hill ended and the lake began. It was very deep and scary. + +"Wow, look at the lake, Anna!" Ben said. "It's so pretty and shiny. Can we go closer and see the fish and the ducks?" + +"No, Ben, we can't," Anna said. "The cliff is too dangerous. If we go too close, we might slip and fall into the lake. We don't know how to swim. We have to stay away from the cliff." + +"But I want to see the fish and the ducks, Anna," Ben said. "Please, please, please. Just a little bit closer. I'll be careful. I promise." + +Anna shook her head. She was smart and knew that the cliff was not a place to play. She did not want to risk her brother's safety. She loved him very much. + +"Ben, please, please, please. Listen to me," Anna said. "The cliff is not a place to play. It's a place to avoid. We can see the fish and the ducks from here. We don't have to go closer. We can use our eyes and our imagination. We can pretend that we are fish and ducks and swim and quack in the air. That's more fun and safe." + +Ben looked at Anna and saw that she was serious and caring. He knew that she was smart and wanted the best for him. He loved her very much. + +"OK, Anna," Ben said. "You're right. The cliff is not a place to play. It's a place to avoid. We can see the fish and the ducks from here. We can use our eyes and our imagination. We can pretend that we are fish and ducks and swim and quack in the air. That's more fun and safe." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They played and pretended and laughed and enjoyed the view. They were happy and safe. They were twins who liked to play outside. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They give him a scarf to keep him warm. + +"Hello, snowman!" Lily says. "Do you like your scarf?" + +The snowman does not say anything. He just smiles. + +"Maybe he can't hear us," Tom says. "Let's go closer." + +They walk to the snowman and touch his scarf. It is soft and red. + +"Can you hear us now, snowman?" Tom asks. + +The snowman still does not say anything. He just smiles. + +"Maybe he is shy," Lily says. "Or maybe he is patient. He waits for us to say something nice." + +Lily and Tom think of something nice to say. They say, "You are a good snowman. You are our friend. We like you." + +The snowman still does not say anything. He just smiles. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is not the snowman. It is their mom. + +"Time to go home, kids!" she calls. "It's getting dark and cold." + +Lily and Tom wave to the snowman. They say, "Bye, snowman! See you tomorrow!" + +They run to their mom. She hugs them and gives them hot chocolate. + +They drink and talk about their snowman. They wonder if he can hear them. They hope he is happy. They are happy, too. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big bucket of soil and some seeds. They wanted to grow flowers and see who could grow the most. + +They each picked a spot and dug a hole. Then they put some seeds and soil in the hole and watered it. They did this every day and waited for the flowers to grow. + +One day, Sara saw that her flowers were starting to sprout. She was very happy and ran to tell Ben. But when she saw Ben's spot, she saw that he had no flowers at all. His soil was dry and hard. + +"Ben, what happened to your flowers?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said sadly. "I watered them every day, but they never grew. Maybe the seeds were bad." + +Sara felt sorry for Ben. She thought he worked very hard and deserved some flowers too. She was thoughtful and had an idea. + +"Ben, why don't we share our flowers?" Sara said. "We can put some of mine in your spot and some of yours in mine. Then we can both have flowers and be happy." + +Ben smiled and hugged Sara. He thought she was very kind and generous. He agreed to share the flowers with her. + +They moved some of the soil and the sprouts and made two beautiful flower beds. They watered them together and watched them grow. + +Soon, they had many colorful flowers in their garden. They were very proud and happy. They learned that sharing is better than winning and that being thoughtful is a good way to show love. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But today the park is boring. There are no swings, no slides, no seesaws. Only a big fence and a sign that says "Closed for repairs". + +"Let's go somewhere else," Anna says. + +"Where?" Ben asks. + +Anna thinks. She remembers a place near her house. A place with a big fountain and shiny coins. + +"I know! Let's go to the fountain. We can have fun there." + +They walk to the fountain. It is very pretty. The water is blue and sparkly. The coins are silver and gold. Anna and Ben see many people throwing coins into the fountain. They hear them making wishes. + +"I wish I had a new bike," one boy says. + +"I wish I had a puppy," one girl says. + +Anna and Ben want to make wishes too. But they have no coins. They look in their pockets. They find nothing. + +"I have no money," Anna says. + +"Me neither," Ben says. + +They feel sad. They want to join the fun. + +Then Ben sees something. Something shiny on the ground. He picks it up. It is a penny. + +"Look, Anna! I found a penny!" + +"Wow, Ben! You are lucky!" + +Ben smiles. He holds the penny in his hand. He thinks of a wish. He thinks of something he wants more than anything. + +He looks at Anna. He sees her eyes. They are blue and sparkly. Like the water. Like the coins. + +He knows his wish. + +He gives the penny to Anna. + +"Here, Anna. You can have it. You can make a wish." + +Anna is surprised. She takes the penny. She feels happy. She thinks of a wish. She thinks of something she wants more than anything. + +She looks at Ben. She sees his smile. It is bright and warm. Like the sun. Like the gold. + +She knows her wish. + +She holds the penny in her hand. She closes her eyes. She makes her wish. + +She opens her eyes. She sees Ben. He is still smiling. + +She smiles back. + +They throw the penny into the fountain. Together. + +They hear a splash. + +They hug. + +They have their wish. +Lisa likes to organize her toys. She has a big box with many colorful toys. She puts the dolls in one corner, the cars in another corner, and the blocks in the middle. She is very happy with her work. + +One day, Lisa's mom brings home a new toy for her. It is a nurse doll with a white dress and a red cross. Lisa is very excited. She wants to play with the nurse doll and her other dolls. + +"Hello, I am Nurse Anna," Lisa says, holding the nurse doll. "I am here to help you. Do you feel sick?" + +"No, I feel fine," Lisa says, holding another doll. "But my teddy bear has a boo-boo. Can you fix it?" + +"Of course, I can," Lisa says, switching to the nurse doll again. "Let me see your teddy bear. Oh, he has a scratch on his ear. Don't worry, I have a band-aid for him." + +Lisa takes a band-aid from the nurse doll's bag and puts it on the teddy bear's ear. She gives the teddy bear a hug and says, "There, now he is better. You are a good friend to him." + +"Thank you, Nurse Anna," Lisa says, smiling. "You are a good nurse. Can you play with me and my other toys?" + +"Sure, I would love to," Lisa says, nodding. "But first, let's organize them. I like to keep things neat and tidy." + +Lisa and the nurse doll start to organize the toys again. They have a lot of fun together. Lisa's mom watches them and smiles. She is glad that Lisa likes her new toy and that she is learning to organize. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play and laugh and learn. But sometimes they do not like to sleep. They want to stay up and have fun. + +One night, Mom and Dad say, "It is time for bed, Lily and Tom. You need to sleep and rest. Tomorrow is a new day." + +Lily and Tom say, "No, no, we do not want to sleep. We want to play and read and talk." + +Mom and Dad say, "You can play and read and talk tomorrow. But now you need to sleep. Sleep is good for you. It helps you grow and be healthy and happy." + +Lily and Tom say, "But we are not sleepy. We are not tired. We are not bored." + +Mom and Dad say, "That is not the truth, Lily and Tom. You are sleepy and tired and bored. You are just pretending. We can see it in your eyes and your yawns and your frowns." + +Lily and Tom say, "No, no, that is not the truth. We are not pretending. We are awake and alert and excited." + +Mom and Dad say, "Well, there is only one way to find out the truth. We will play a game. The game is called 'Who can sleep the longest?' The rules are simple. You have to lie down in your beds, close your eyes, and be quiet. The first one who falls asleep wins. The last one who falls asleep loses. Do you want to play?" + +Lily and Tom say, "Yes, yes, we want to play. We like games. We will win. We will not sleep. We will stay awake." + +Mom and Dad say, "Okay, then. Let the game begin. Good night, Lily and Tom. We love you." + +Lily and Tom say, "Good night, Mom and Dad. We love you too." + +Mom and Dad leave the room and close the door. Lily and Tom lie down in their beds, open their eyes, and try to be quiet. They look at each other and smile. They think they are clever and smart. They think they can trick Mom and Dad. They think they can win the game. + +But they are wrong. Soon, their eyes become heavy and their smiles fade. Soon, they start to yawn and sigh. Soon, they fall asleep and dream. They do not know who wins or who loses. They do not know the truth. + +But Mom and Dad know. They peek through the door and see Lily and Tom sleeping. They smile and hug. They know they have won the game. They know they have told the truth. They know sleep is good for Lily and Tom. They know they love them very much. +Ben and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Ben found a big shell that was shiny and smooth. He was very happy and showed it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, I found a big shell! It is so pretty!" Ben said. + +Mia looked at the shell and frowned. She wanted a big shell too, but she only had small ones. She felt angry and jealous. She decided to complain. + +"That is not a big shell, Ben. That is a small shell. And it is not pretty, it is ugly. And it is not smooth, it is rough. You have a bad shell, Ben. I have better shells than you!" Mia said. + +Ben felt hurt and confused. He liked his shell very much and he did not think it was ugly or rough. He did not understand why Mia was so mean to him. He tried to defend his shell. + +"No, Mia, you are wrong. This is a big shell, and it is pretty, and it is smooth. You have small shells, and they are not pretty, and they are rough. You have bad shells, Mia. I have a better shell than you!" Ben said. + +They started to argue and shout at each other. They did not want to share or play together anymore. They turned away from each other and sat on the sand with their shells. + +A furry dog was walking on the beach. He saw Ben and Mia and their shells. He was curious and friendly. He wanted to play with them. He ran towards them and wagged his tail. + +"Hello, Ben and Mia! Do you want to play with me? I like shells too! They are fun to chew and chase!" the dog said. + +He picked up Ben's shell with his mouth and ran away. Ben was shocked and sad. He wanted his shell back. He chased the dog and cried. + +"Hey, dog, give me back my shell! That is my shell, not yours! That is a big and pretty and smooth shell, not a toy for you!" Ben said. + +The dog did not listen. He thought Ben wanted to play too. He ran faster and threw the shell in the air. The shell landed on Mia's head. Mia was surprised and angry. She wanted the dog to go away. She threw her shells at the dog and yelled. + +"Ow, dog, that hurt! Go away, dog, you are bad! You have no shells, and you are not fun, and you are furry. You have a bad fur, dog. I have better shells than you!" Mia said. + +The dog did not understand. He thought Mia wanted to play too. He dodged the shells and barked. He ran back to Mia and licked her face. Mia screamed and pushed the dog away. + +Ben and Mia were both unhappy and scared. They did not like the dog or his game. They wanted their shells and their peace. They ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They told them what happened. + +Mom and dad were sorry and calm. They petted the dog and took the shell from his mouth. They gave the shell back to Ben and the shells back to Mia. They told them to be nice to the dog and to each other. + +"Ben and Mia, the dog did not mean to hurt you or take your shells. He just wanted to play with you and be your friend. He is a good dog, and he has a nice fur. You should not complain about him or his fur. You should say sorry to him and thank him for playing with you." Mom said. + +"Ben and Mia, you also have nice shells, and you should be happy with what you have. You should not complain about each other or your shells. You should share and compliment each other. You are good kids, and you have a good brother and sister. You should say sorry to each other and hug each other." Dad said. + +Ben and Mia felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were wrong and rude. They did what mom and dad said. They said sorry to the dog and thanked him for playing with them. They said sorry to each other and hugged each other. They shared and complimented each other's shells. They were happy and friendly again. + +The dog was happy and friendly too. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He played with them and their shells. He was their new friend. + +They all had a good time on the beach. They liked the sand and the shells and the fur. They did not complain anymore. They were grateful and kind. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they saw a big tree with a rope hanging from a branch. They wanted to try it. + +"Can we swing on the rope?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Sure, it looks fun!" Ben said. + +They took turns to hold the rope and swing in the air. They laughed and shouted with joy. They felt like birds. + +But then, something bad happened. When it was Lily's turn, she swung too high and too fast. She lost her grip on the rope and flew off. She landed on the ground with a thud. She felt a sharp pain in her leg. She looked down and saw blood. She had hit a pebble and cut her skin. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "It hurts, it hurts!" + +Ben ran to her and saw the blood. He felt anxious and scared. He didn't know what to do. + +"Help, help!" he yelled. "Lily is hurt!" + +But no one heard him. The park was empty. They were alone. + +Lily and Ben wished they had never swung on the rope. They wished they had stayed on the swing or the slide. They wished someone would come and help them. But no one came. They were stuck in the park, with a rope, a pebble and a wound. +Anna and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to roll the ball down the hill and catch it at the bottom. Sometimes the ball went very fast and bounced off the trees and rocks. + +One time, the ball rolled down the hill and did not come back. Anna and Ben ran after it, but they could not see it anywhere. They looked behind the trees and under the rocks, but the ball was gone. + +"Where is our ball?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it disappeared," Ben said. + +"What does disappear mean?" Anna asked. + +"It means it is not here anymore. It is gone," Ben said. + +"Did someone take it?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe. Or maybe it went into a hole or a river or a cloud," Ben said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They liked their ball very much. It was red and shiny and made a funny sound when they kicked it. They wanted their ball back. + +They walked around the hill, hoping to find their ball. They saw a pale rabbit sitting on a rock. The rabbit had big ears and a fluffy tail. It was holding something in its mouth. + +"Look, Ben! The rabbit has our ball!" Anna said. + +The rabbit saw Anna and Ben and got scared. It dropped the ball and ran away. The ball rolled down the rock and stopped near Anna and Ben. + +"Yay! We found our ball!" Ben said. + +Anna and Ben picked up their ball and hugged it. They were happy again. They thanked the rabbit for giving them their ball back, even if it did not mean to. They decided to play somewhere else, where the ball would not disappear again. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big lime tree. The limes are green and sour. Lisa and Ben pick some limes and put them in a basket. + +"Let's go to the store and sell our limes," Lisa says. "We can buy candy and toys." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The limes are delicate. They can break and spill juice." + +They walk to the store with their basket. They see a lady at the counter. She has a nice smile. + +"Hello, children," the lady says. "What do you have in your basket?" + +"We have limes," Lisa says. "We picked them from our tree. Do you want to buy some?" + +The lady looks at the limes. They are bright and fresh. She likes limes. She makes lemonade with them. + +"Yes, I do," the lady says. "How much do you want for them?" + +Lisa and Ben think for a moment. They do not know how to count very well. + +"Two coins for one lime," Lisa says. + +"Three coins for two limes," Ben says. + +The lady laughs. She thinks they are cute and smart. + +"OK," the lady says. "I will buy four limes. That is six coins. Here you go." + +She gives them six coins. They are shiny and round. Lisa and Ben are happy. They thank the lady and run to the candy and toy section. They buy some candy and a ball. They have fun at the store. They love their limes. +Sara likes to write. She writes with her crayons on paper. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her dog's name. She writes many words and pictures. + +One day, Sara goes to the shop with her mom. She sees a big book with many pages. She wants to write in the book. She asks her mom, "Can I have the book, please?" + +Her mom says, "No, Sara, that book is not for you. That book is for someone else. You have to pay for the book if you want it. We don't have enough money for the book." + +Sara is sad. She really wants to write in the book. She thinks, maybe she can take the book when her mom is not looking. She sneaks the book under her coat and walks to the door. + +But then she remembers what her mom taught her. She taught her to be honest. She taught her not to take things that are not hers. She taught her to say sorry when she does something wrong. + +Sara feels bad. She knows she did something wrong. She runs back to the shelf and puts the book back. She says to her mom, "I'm sorry, mom. I tried to take the book. But I put it back. I want to be honest." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You did the right thing. You are honest. Being honest is more important than having a book. Maybe one day, we can buy the book for you. But for now, you can write with your crayons at home." + +Sara smiles. She is happy. She loves her mom. She loves to write. She is honest. +Sara and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a stream near their house. They wanted to see the water and the fish. + +They ran to the stream and looked around. They saw some stones, some grass, and some flowers. They also saw a duck with her ducklings. The ducklings were adorable. They were yellow and fluffy and followed their mother. + +Sara and Tom wanted to play with the ducklings. They thought they could provide them some food and some fun. They did not ask their mother or their father. They did not know that the duck was very protective of her babies. + +They went closer to the water and tried to catch a duckling. The duck saw them and got angry. She quacked loudly and flapped her wings. She bit Sara's hand and scratched Tom's face. Sara and Tom cried and ran away. + +They went back to their house and told their mother and their father what happened. Their mother and their father were very upset. They scolded Sara and Tom for being naughty and careless. They said they should never go near the stream without permission. They also said they should never bother the animals. They put some bandages on Sara's hand and Tom's face. Sara and Tom felt sorry and sad. They learned their lesson. They never played with the ducklings again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa," Anna said. "It's very cold out here." + +"OK, but first I want to show you something," Ben said. He took Anna's hand and led her to the back of the house. There was a big metal thing with a hole in it. It was a sink, but Anna and Ben did not know that. + +"What is it?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know, but look inside," Ben said. He lifted Anna up so she could see the hole. There was something shiny and hard inside. It was ice, but Anna and Ben did not know that. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," Anna said. "Can we touch it?" + +"Sure, why not?" Ben said. He reached his hand inside the hole and touched the ice. He felt a sharp pain and pulled his hand back. He started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, it hurts!" he sobbed. + +Anna was scared. She did not know what to do. She hugged Ben and tried to comfort him. + +"Shh, shh, it's OK, Ben, it's OK," she said. "Let's go inside and tell Mommy. She will make it better." + +They ran inside the house, leaving the sink and the ice behind. They did not know that they had discovered something very old and very cold. They only knew that they wanted to be warm and safe. +Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she went to the attic with her flashlight. She saw many old things and boxes. She wanted to see what was inside them. + +She opened one box and found a big doll. She liked the doll and wanted to play with it. But when she lifted the doll, she saw a huge cobweb under it. The cobweb was sticky and white and had many spiders on it. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed and dropped the doll. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran to the attic. She saw Lily crying and the cobweb on the floor. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. The spiders won't hurt you. They are just living here. They make cobwebs to catch flies and bugs. Do you know what a cobweb is?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I know what a cobweb is. It is a spider's home. But I don't like it. It is icky and scary. Can we go downstairs and play with something else?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, we can. Let's go and find a nice toy for you. Maybe we can find a teddy bear or a puzzle. How about that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I like teddy bears and puzzles. They are fun and cozy. Can I take the doll with me?" + +Mom said, "Sure, you can. But first, let's clean the cobweb off the doll. We don't want to bring the spiders with us, do we?" + +Lily said, "No, mom. We don't. Let's clean the doll and go downstairs. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my brave and curious girl. Come on, let's go and have some fun." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play and act. Sometimes they act like animals, sometimes they act like heroes, sometimes they act like mom and dad. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they are acting like pirates. They have hats and swords and a big box for a ship. They say "Arrr" and "Ahoy" and "Shiver me timbers". They pretend to find treasure and fight enemies. They are having a blast. + +But then, Ben sees that Mia has his favorite toy car. He wants it back. He says "Give me my car, Mia. It is mine." Mia says "No, Ben. It is mine. I found it in the treasure." Ben says "That is not fair. You are a bad pirate." Mia says "You are a bad pirate. You are mean." They start to fight. They hit each other with their swords. They are angry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Ben and Mia fighting. She is not happy. She says "Stop it, Ben and Mia. You are not pirates. You are brother and sister. You should not fight. You should share and be kind." She takes away their hats and swords and car. She says "You are in time out. You need to calm down and say sorry." + +Ben and Mia sit in the corner. They are sad. They do not like time out. They do not like fighting. They miss playing and acting. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say "Sorry, Ben." "Sorry, Mia." They get up and hug. They say "I love you, Ben." "I love you, Mia." They are happy. + +Mom sees them hug. She smiles. She says "That is better, Ben and Mia. You are good twins. You are good pirates. You can have your hats and swords and car back. But you have to share and be kind." She gives them their toys. She hugs them too. She says "I love you, Ben and Mia." They say "We love you, Mom." They are very happy. They go back to play and act. They are the best pirates ever. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm coats, hats, gloves and scarves. Their mom tells them to be obedient and not go too far. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and white and has a long tail. The dog looks friendly and wags its tail. Anna and Ben want to pet the dog. They run towards the dog and call, "Hello, doggy!" + +The dog barks and runs to them. He sniffs their hands and licks their faces. Anna and Ben giggle and hug the dog. They think the dog is nice and cute. + +But the dog sees Ben's scarf. The scarf is red and woolly and hangs from Ben's neck. The dog thinks the scarf is a toy. He jumps and bites the scarf. He pulls and tugs and shakes his head. + +"Hey, stop it!" Ben cries. "That's my scarf! Let go!" + +Anna tries to help Ben. She grabs the other end of the scarf and pulls. She says, "Bad dog! Drop it!" + +The dog growls and pulls harder. He does not want to drop the scarf. He thinks it is a game. He does not know he is hurting Ben and Anna. + +Ben and Anna scream and cry. They are scared and sad. They want the dog to stop. They want their mom to come. + +Their mom hears their screams. She runs to them and sees the dog. She shouts, "No, dog! Leave them alone!" + +She grabs a stick and hits the dog. The dog yelps and drops the scarf. He runs away. He is afraid of the stick and the mom. + +Mom hugs Ben and Anna. She checks their necks and faces. They have some scratches and bruises, but no bites. She says, "Are you okay, my darlings? I'm so sorry. That was a bad dog. He should have been obedient and not bite your scarf." + +Ben and Anna nod. They are okay, but they are still shaking. They say, "We're okay, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +Mom kisses them and says, "I love you too. Come on, let's go home. We'll get you some hot chocolate and cookies. And we'll get you a new scarf, Ben. A scarf that no dog will bite." +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They saw a big pile of dry leaves and sticks. They wanted to make a fire. + +"Let's burn the leaves and sticks," Max said. "It will be fun and warm." + +"No, Max, we can't do that," Lily said. "That is bad. Mom and dad said fire is dangerous. And there is a law that says we can't burn things outside. We can get in trouble." + +Max did not listen to Lily. He was frustrated. He wanted to do what he wanted. He took a match from the garage and lit it. He threw it on the pile of leaves and sticks. + +The pile of leaves and sticks caught fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It made a lot of smoke and noise. Lily and Max were scared. They ran to the house and called for mom and dad. + +Mom and dad came outside and saw the fire. They were angry and worried. They called the firemen to put out the fire. The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They sprayed water on the fire and made it go away. + +Mom and dad scolded Max for being naughty and breaking the law. They told him he could have hurt himself, Lily, and the house. They told him he had to say sorry to Lily and the firemen. They also told him he had to do extra chores as a punishment. + +Max felt sorry and ashamed. He said sorry to Lily and the firemen. He learned his lesson. He promised to never play with fire again. He also promised to listen to Lily and mom and dad. He realized that fire is not a toy and that laws are there to keep us safe. + +The moral of the story is: do not play with fire and follow the laws. They are there to protect us and others. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom cook. They also liked to play with their toy cars and dolls. One day, mom said she had to go to the post office to send some letters. She asked Anna and Ben if they wanted to come with her. + +"Yes, please!" they said. They put on their coats and shoes and followed mom to the car. Mom drove them to the post office, which was not far from their house. She parked the car and told Anna and Ben to wait for her inside. She gave them each a cookie and a book to keep them busy. + +Anna and Ben found a bench near the window and sat down. They ate their cookies and looked at their books. They saw many people coming and going, carrying envelopes and packages. They also saw a big red mailbox outside, where people put their letters. + +"Look, Ben," Anna said, pointing to the mailbox. "That's where mom puts her letters. Do you want to see how it works?" + +Ben nodded. He was curious about the mailbox. He liked to learn new things. He put his book down and followed Anna to the door. They opened the door and stepped outside. They walked to the mailbox and looked at it. + +The mailbox had a slot on the front, where people put their letters. It also had a handle on the side, which made a loud noise when people pulled it. Anna and Ben wanted to try it. They looked around and saw a piece of paper on the ground. It was a flyer for a pizza place. + +"Let's pretend this is a letter," Anna said, picking up the paper. "We can send it to dad. He likes pizza." + +"OK," Ben said. He took the paper from Anna and folded it. He put it in the slot and pulled the handle. The mailbox made a loud noise and the paper disappeared. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Anna said. "Let's do it again." + +They looked for another piece of paper, but they couldn't find any. They saw a man walking to the mailbox, holding an envelope. He looked busy and didn't notice Anna and Ben. + +"Maybe we can use his letter," Anna said, whispering to Ben. "He won't mind. It's just a letter." + +Ben was not sure. He felt scared. He thought the man might get angry. He thought mom might get worried. He wanted to go back inside. + +"Anna, I don't think we should do that," Ben said. "That's not our letter. That's his letter. He might need it. And mom might be looking for us. Let's go back." + +Anna didn't listen. She was brave. She wanted to have more fun. She ran to the man and grabbed his envelope. She ran back to the mailbox and put it in the slot. She pulled the handle and made the loud noise. + +"Ha ha, I did it!" Anna said, laughing. "That was easy." + +Ben didn't laugh. He felt bad. He saw the man turn around and look at them. He saw his face turn red. He saw him shout and run to them. He saw mom come out of the post office and see what happened. He saw her face turn pale. He wished he had stopped Anna. He wished they had stayed inside. He wished they had listened to mom. +Tom is a dog. He likes to play with his human, Sam. Sam is a boy. He likes to throw a ball and Tom likes to catch it. They have fun in the park. + +One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is light and shiny. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Sam are scared. They run to hide under a tree. + +"What is that?" Sam asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "It is not a bird. It is not a plane. It is something else." + +The light bird comes closer. It has a long nose and a big mouth. It snaps at the trees and the grass. It snaps at the other dogs and humans. It snaps at Tom and Sam. + +"Go away!" Sam shouts. "You are bad! You are mean!" + +Tom barks. He tries to protect Sam. He is brave. He is not afraid. + +The light bird hears Tom and Sam. It turns around. It sees them under the tree. It snaps at them. It wants to eat them. + +But then, another noise comes. It is louder than the light bird. It is a big truck. It has a long hose and a lot of water. It is a fire truck. It comes to the park. It sees the light bird. It sprays water at it. + +The light bird does not like water. It makes a loud scream. It flies away. It is gone. + +Tom and Sam are safe. They are happy. They hug each other. They thank the fire truck. They go home. They have a snack. They are friends. They love each other. +Sara likes to whistle. She whistles when she is happy, when she is sad, when she is bored. She whistles songs and tunes and noises. She whistles all day long. + +One day, Sara finds a kitten in the park. The kitten is small and gray and has blue eyes. The kitten is scared and hungry. Sara whistles softly to the kitten. The kitten looks at Sara and meows. + +"Hello, kitten. Do you want to be my friend?" Sara asks. She holds out her hand to the kitten. The kitten sniffs Sara's hand and rubs its head against it. Sara smiles and picks up the kitten. The kitten purrs and cuddles with Sara. + +Sara takes the kitten home. She gives the kitten some milk and some food. She makes a bed for the kitten with a blanket and a pillow. She plays with the kitten and whistles to it. The kitten likes Sara's whistling. It tries to whistle too, but it only makes funny sounds. + +Sara and the kitten are very glad. They have found each other. They are best friends. They whistle and meow and laugh together. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big pile of hay in the barn. They think it looks fun to jump on it. + +"Let's go, Spot!" Anna says. "We can play on the hay!" + +They run to the barn and climb on the hay. They make a fort and pretend to be kings and queens. Spot barks and wags his tail. They have a lot of fun. + +But they do not know that the hay is for the cows. The farmer needs the hay to feed the cows. He works hard to make the hay. He does not like it when the hay is messy. + +He hears the noise in the barn and goes to see. He sees Anna, Ben and Spot on the hay. The hay is all over the floor. He is angry. + +"Hey, you kids!" he shouts. "What are you doing on my hay? You are making a mess! Get off now!" + +Anna, Ben and Spot are scared. They jump off the hay and run to the door. They look at the farmer. They feel guilty. They know they did something bad. + +"Sorry, sir," Anna says. "We did not know the hay was for the cows. We just wanted to play." + +"Sorry, sir," Ben says. "We will not do it again. We will help you clean the hay." + +The farmer sees that they are sorry. He is not so angry anymore. He sighs and shakes his head. + +"Alright, alright," he says. "But next time, ask me first. And be careful. The hay can be sharp and hurt you. Now, help me put the hay back in the pile." + +Anna, Ben and Spot nod. They help the farmer with the hay. They learn to respect the farmer and his work. They also learn to be more careful and ask before they play. They still like the hay, but they do not lie on it anymore. +Tom and Lily liked to walk in the park with their dog Spot. They saw many things on their walk: trees, flowers, birds, and squirrels. Spot liked to chase the squirrels, but he never caught them. + +One day, they saw a big wreck on the road. A car and a truck had crashed into each other. There were loud noises and smoke and people shouting. Tom and Lily were scared and curious. They wanted to see the wreck closer. + +Spot saw a squirrel run across the road. He forgot about the wreck and ran after the squirrel. Tom and Lily followed him. They did not look for cars or trucks. They were foolish. + +A man saw them and yelled, "Stop! It's dangerous!" He ran to them and grabbed them by their hands. He pulled them back to the sidewalk. He was angry and worried. He said, "You could have been hurt! You should never run into the road! That was very foolish!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mister. We wanted to see the wreck. We didn't think about the cars or trucks." + +The man said, "The wreck is not for you to see. It's a bad thing. Someone could have been hurt. You should be careful and listen to your parents. They know what's best for you." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mister. We will be careful and listen to our parents. Thank you for saving us." + +They hugged their dog Spot and walked back to their parents. They learned a lesson that day. They would never be foolish again. +Sara loved to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She had a purple dress that she wore when she danced. It was her favorite dress. It had flowers and ribbons and sparkles. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide, but she did not see a hole in the ground. She tripped and fell. Her purple dress got torn and dirty. She cried and cried. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" her mom asked. She hugged Sara and checked her for boo-boos. + +"I'm okay, mom, but my dress is ruined!" Sara sobbed. She loved her dress so much. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. Your dress is very pretty, but it's not the most important thing. You are the most important thing. And you can still dance, even without your dress. Dancing is in your heart, not in your clothes." + +Sara looked at her mom and smiled. She wiped her tears and nodded. She knew her mom was right. She loved dancing more than anything. + +"Can we go home and dance, mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, Sara. Let's go home and dance. But first, let's be careful and watch out for holes. They are dangerous and can make you fall." + +Sara agreed. She held her mom's hand and walked to the car. She was sad about her dress, but happy about her mom and her dancing. She decided to dance in her room, in the garden, and in the park, no matter what she wore. She danced with her heart, and that made her happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy sail. It is light and blue and has a white sail. They take it to the pond and put it in the water. They watch it go with the wind. + +"Look, Anna, our sail is fast!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is. It is fun to see it move," Anna says. + +They run along the pond and try to keep up with their sail. Sometimes they touch the water with their fingers. It is cold and wet. + +But then, a big duck comes to the pond. It sees the sail and swims to it. It thinks it is food. It bites the sail with its beak. + +"Oh no, the duck is eating our sail!" Anna cries. + +"Go away, duck, that is our sail!" Ben shouts. + +They wave their arms and try to scare the duck. But the duck does not listen. It pulls the sail out of the water and flies away with it. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They lost their sail. They hug each other and go home. They hope the duck will bring their sail back. +Mia and Leo were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old things that their dad used for work. They saw books, papers, pens, and a shiny badge. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mia said, holding the badge. "It says 'detective'. Maybe dad was a detective before." + +"Maybe he solved mysteries and caught bad guys," Leo said, imagining. "Let's pretend we are detectives too. We can use these things to find clues." + +They put on some hats and coats and took some books and pens. They decided to look for clues in the backyard. They walked around, looking for anything suspicious. They saw a bird, a flower, a rock, and a bone. + +"Look, a bone!" Leo said, picking it up. "Maybe this is a clue. Maybe a dog buried it here." + +"Or maybe a dinosaur!" Mia said, excited. "Maybe this is a dinosaur bone. Maybe there are more in the ground." + +They started to dig with their hands, hoping to find more bones. They dug and dug, making a big hole. They were so busy that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Mia, Leo, come inside! It's time to eat!" their mom shouted. + +They finally heard her and ran inside. They were hungry and dirty. They washed their hands and sat at the table. Their mom gave them sandwiches and milk. + +"What were you doing in the backyard?" their mom asked. + +"We were detectives," Mia said. "We found a bone. Maybe it's a dinosaur bone." + +"Or maybe it's a dog bone," Leo said. "We don't know yet. We need to do more work." + +Their mom smiled and shook her head. She was glad they had fun, but she hoped they would not make more mess. + +"Maybe you can do your work after lunch," she said. "But first, you need to chew your food well and drink your milk. And then, you need to fill the hole you made." + +Mia and Leo nodded and started to chew their sandwiches. They still wanted to be detectives, but they also wanted to be good kids.

"I want some!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go and see!" + +They ran to the truck and peeked inside. They saw many boxes of pizza, some cheese, some pepperoni, some pineapple. They also saw a man in a uniform. He was talking on his phone. + +"Hello, this is Mike from Pizza Delivery. I'm sorry, I'm running late. There was a lot of traffic. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Please wait for me. Thank you." + +The man did not see Anna and Ben. They were very quiet. They decided to take a box of pizza and run back to their house. They thought it would be fun to serve pizza to their mom and dad. + +They opened the box and saw a cheese pizza. It smelled good. They took two slices and put them on plates. They carried the plates to the living room, where their mom and dad were watching TV. + +"Surprise!" Anna and Ben said. "We have pizza for you!" + +Their mom and dad looked at them with surprise and confusion. They saw the pizza on the plates. They also saw the logo of Pizza Delivery on the box. + +"Where did you get this pizza?" their mom asked. + +"From the truck outside!" Anna said. + +"The truck outside?" their dad asked. + +"Yes, the red truck. It had many pizzas. We took one. It was easy. The man did not see us. He was busy on his phone." Ben said. + +Their mom and dad were shocked and angry. They realized that Anna and Ben had stolen the pizza from the delivery man. They knew that was very wrong and rude. + +They scolded Anna and Ben and told them to return the pizza to the truck. They also told them to apologize to the delivery man and pay for the pizza. They said they were very disappointed and sad. + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They did not think stealing was fun anymore. They wished they had not been so curious. They wished they had stayed in their seats and watched TV. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bucket near the slide. The bucket is red and shiny. It has a lock on it. + +"Wow, look at this bucket!" Lily says. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Maybe it has toys or candy," Ben says. "Let's try to open it." + +They pull and push the lock, but it does not move. They need a key to unlock it. + +"Where can we find a key?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe we can ask the nice lady over there," Ben says. He points to a woman sitting on a bench. She has a big bag and a hat. + +They run to the woman and say hello. They show her the bucket and ask if she has a key. + +The woman smiles and says, "Oh, that is my bucket. I left it there by mistake. I have the key in my bag. Do you want to see what is inside?" + +Lily and Ben nod eagerly. They follow the woman to the slide.

They leave their plates on the table and go to their room to get some toys. Spot sees the plates and smells the peanut butter. He jumps on the table and eats the sandwiches.

They run to the kitchen and see him with the paper and the ribbon. They laugh and say, "Spot, you are so silly! You are not a present, you are a dog!"

Their dad loved the book very much and kept it safe in his office. + +When their dad came home, he went to his office to look at the book. He was shocked and sad to see that the book was full of pictures. He could not see his grandfather's words anymore. He went to Sara and Ben's room and asked them what they did. + +"We printed pictures for you, dad!" Sara said. "We wanted to make you happy!" + +Ben nodded. "We found this book in your office. It had many empty pages. We thought you would like it!" + +Their dad sighed. He was angry, but he did not yell. He spoke in a quiet voice. + +"I appreciate your gift, but you made a big mistake. This book was not empty. It had my grandfather's stories and poems in it. He wrote them a long time ago. They were very important to me. You covered them with your pictures. You should not have taken the book without asking me. You should have respected my things." + +Sara and Ben felt very sorry. They did not know that the book was old and special. They did not mean to hurt their dad. They hugged him and said they were sorry. + +Their dad hugged them back. He was still sad, but he forgave them. He said he loved them and their pictures, but they had to learn to be careful and respectful. He said he would try to find a way to save his grandfather's words.

He looks out the window and sees the water pour from the sky. He sighs and sits on the floor. + +"Sam, do you want to do something fun?" his dad asks. + +"What can we do, dad?" Sam asks. + +"Well, we can make our own baseball game. Do you want to try?" his dad says. + +Sam nods. He is curious. His dad takes a big bowl and fills it with water. He takes a spoon and stirs the water. He takes a cork and puts it in the water. He says, "This is our baseball.

They play their water baseball game until the rain stops. Sam thinks it is the best game ever. He loves his dad and his baseball. +Lily liked to help her mom with her job. Her mom was a teacher who taught little kids how to read and write. Sometimes, her mom brought home books and papers that she used in her class. Lily liked to look at the books and papers, but she also liked to make them into puzzles and crafts. She cut them, colored them, and glued them together. + +One day, her mom came home and saw that Lily had made a big mess with her books and papers. She was very sad and angry. She said to Lily, "Lily, what have you done? These are my books and papers for my job. I need them to teach my kids. You have ruined them. How can I restore them now?" + +Lily felt sorry for her mom. She did not mean to make her sad and angry. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to have fun with your books and papers. I did not know they were important for your job. Can I help you restore them?" + +Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, I appreciate that you want to help me, but it is too late to restore them. They are too damaged. I have to get new ones. But you can help me by being more careful and respectful with my things. And you can help me by being more organized and cleaning up your mess." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be more careful and respectful with your things. And I will be more organized and clean up my mess. I love you, mom. And I love your job. You are a good teacher." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love that you like to help me. You are a good helper. But remember, some things are not for playing. They are for working. And working is also fun, if you do it well." + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect her mom's job and her mom's things. She learned to restore what she could and to be organized and clean. She learned that working and playing are both fun, but they are different. And she learned to love her mom more. +Tom and Lily were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They had a ticket for each of them that their mom had bought online. She was very organized and printed the tickets at home. + +"Look, we have tickets!" Lily said, showing her ticket to Tom. + +"Wow, cool!" Tom said, holding his ticket. "What animal do you want to see first?" + +"I want to see the lions and the tigers and the bears!" Lily said. + +"Me too! And the monkeys and the elephants and the giraffes!" Tom said. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. It was a long drive and they got bored. They played with their toys and sang songs, but they still felt tired. They started to yawn. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"Soon, honey, soon," their mom said. "Just a few more minutes." + +They finally arrived at the zoo and got out of the car. They showed their tickets to the man at the gate and he let them in. They saw a big map of the zoo and their dad pointed to the different areas. + +"Where do you want to go first?" he asked. + +"The lions and the tigers and the bears!" Lily said. + +"OK, let's go!" he said. + +They followed the signs and walked to the big cats area. They saw the lions and the tigers and the bears in their enclosures.

He climbed up the hay and started to dig. + +But he did not know that the hay was very dry and had a lot of heat inside. The heat came from the sun and the fire that the farmer sometimes made. The heat made the hay catch fire and soon the pile was burning. + +Max was scared and ran away from the fire. He saw a gray cat sitting on a fence and shouted, "Help me, cat! The hay is on fire and I have no place to go!" + +The cat looked at Max and said, "Why should I help you, mouse? You are my enemy and I like to chase you and eat you." + +Max said, "Please, cat, do not be mean. We are both animals and we need to support each other when there is danger. If you help me, I will not bother you again." + +The cat thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, mouse, I will help you this time. But you have to keep your promise and stay away from me." The cat jumped off the fence and ran to the barn. He found a hole in the wall and said, "Come, mouse, follow me. There is a safe place in the barn where you can hide." + +Max followed the cat and thanked him for saving his life. He said, "You are a good cat, even if you are gray and scary. I will not forget your kindness and I will not come near you again." + +The cat said, "You are welcome, mouse, even if you are small and tasty. I have learned that sometimes we need to help our enemies and not judge them by their color or size." + +The fire was put out by the farmer and no one was hurt. Max and the cat never met again, but they always remembered their lesson. They learned that support is more important than hate and that heat can be dangerous and make things burn. +Ben and Mia were eager to eat cheese. They loved cheese very much. They saw a big block of cheese on the table. They wanted to get some. + +"Let's break some cheese," Ben said. + +"OK," Mia said. + +They climbed on a chair and reached for the cheese.

They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big spear that looked shiny and sharp. He did not hop like a frog, but walked like a lion. He saw Ben and Mia and said, "Hey, you two, stop hopping like silly frogs. You look stupid. Give me your spears, they are mine now." + +Ben and Mia felt scared and sad. They did not want to give up their spears, but they did not want to fight with the new boy. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and whispered, "What should we do?" + +Mia had an idea. She said, "Let's be flexible. Let's pretend to agree with him, but then we will trick him and run away." Ben nodded and said, "OK, let's do that." + +They went to the new boy and said, "OK, you can have our spears. They are not very good anyway. You have a better spear. But can we see your spear first? It looks so cool and shiny." The new boy smiled and said, "Sure, you can see my spear. But don't touch it, it is mine." He showed them his spear and said, "Look how big and sharp it is. It can catch anything." + +Ben and Mia pretended to be impressed and said, "Wow, your spear is amazing. It is the best spear ever. Can we hold it for a second? Please, please, please." The new boy was proud and said, "OK, fine, you can hold it for a second. But be careful, it is heavy and dangerous." He gave them his spear and said, "Here, take it. But don't run away with it, or I will catch you." + +Ben and Mia took the spear and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." But as soon as they had the spear, they threw it away as far as they could and hopped away like frogs. They shouted, "Bye, bye, lion boy. We don't need your spear. We like our spears better. They are light and flexible. And we like hopping like frogs. It is fun and funny." + +The new boy was angry and shocked. He ran after his spear, but it was too far. He could not catch it. He could not catch Ben and Mia either. They were too fast and nimble. He yelled, "Hey, come back here. Give me back my spear. You are mean and sneaky. You are not my friends." + +Ben and Mia did not listen to him. They kept hopping and laughing. They found their spears and played with them. They were happy and free. They learned that being flexible is better than being stubborn. And that being kind is better than being rude. And that being frogs is better than being lions. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play in the park and catch frogs. One day, Timmy saw a big, green frog hopping around. He wanted to grab it and show it to his friends.

She wants to share the book with Ben. She thinks the book is nice and the dog is cute. She wants Ben to like dogs too. + +She looks at the book again. She reads the title. It says, "How to Be a Compassionate Friend to Your Dog". She does not know what "compassionate" means. She asks her mom. + +"Mom, what does 'compassionate' mean?" Anna says. + +Her mom smiles. She explains to Anna. + +"Compassionate means you are kind and caring. You understand how someone else feels. You help them when they are sad or hurt. You are a compassionate friend to your dog when you pet him, feed him, play with him, and love him," her mom says. + +Anna nods. She thinks she is compassionate to her dog. She likes to make her dog happy. She wonders if Ben is compassionate to his car. + +She has an idea. She goes to Ben and gives him the book. + +"Ben, I recommend this book to you. It will teach you how to be a compassionate friend to your dog. Maybe then you will not be afraid of dogs. Maybe then you will like dogs. Will you try to read it with me?" Anna says. + +Ben looks at the book. He looks at Anna. He sees that Anna is smiling and hopeful. He does not want to make Anna sad. He decides to give the book a chance. + +"Okay, Anna, I will try to read it with you. Maybe you are right. Maybe I can learn to be a compassionate friend to your dog. Maybe I can learn to like dogs.

Come with me." + +Mom takes Tom and Lily to their room. She shows them how to put their toys in the toy box, how to fold their clothes and put them in the closet, and how to make their bed. She says, "See, it is not hard to clean your room. You just need to do it every day. Then you will have more space to play and less work to do later." + +Tom and Lily listen to Mom and try to do what she says. They put their toys, clothes, and bed in order. They are proud of their clean room. They say, "Thank you, Mom, for teaching us how to clean our room. It is useful and fun. We will do it every day." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. I am proud of you too. You are good learners and helpers. Now you can play in your clean room. But remember to clean up when you are done." +Lily loved to pick daisies in the park. She liked their white and yellow colors and their soft petals. She made a daisy chain and put it on her head. She felt like a princess. + +She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a book and a toy car. He looked sad. Lily wanted to make him happy. She walked to him and said, "Hello, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy looked at her and smiled. He said, "Hello, I am Ben. You look charming with your daisy chain. Can I have one too?" + +Lily was happy that he liked her daisies. She gave him one and said, "Here you go. You can be a prince." + +They played together for a while. They read the book and drove the car. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a big dog came running to them. It barked and jumped. It wanted to play too. It grabbed Lily's daisy chain and ran away.

But the dog was faster. It ran to a pond and jumped in. It splashed water and mud everywhere. It shook its head and threw the daisy chain in the air. + +Lily and Ben stopped and watched. They saw the daisy chain land on a duck. The duck quacked and flapped its wings. It looked funny with the daisy chain on its head. + +Lily and Ben forgot their sadness. They started to giggle. They said, "Look at the duck! It is wearing a daisy chain!" + +They laughed so hard that they fell on the ground. They did not care that they were wet and dirty. They were happy. + +The dog came back to them. It licked their faces and wagged its tail. It wanted to say sorry. Lily and Ben hugged the dog and said, "It's okay, dog. You did not mean to embarrass us. You are a good dog." + +They played with the dog until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to each other and to the dog. They said, "We had a lot of fun today. Let's play again tomorrow." + +They walked away with smiles on their faces. They did not notice that the duck was still wearing the daisy chain. The duck quacked and swam away. It felt like a queen. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different dresses and hair. She made them talk and have tea parties. She was happy with her dolls. + +But some kids at school did not like dolls. They liked cars and balls and trucks. They said dolls were silly and boring. They teased Lily and made her sad. They said she was not normal. They did not want to play with her. They were a mean group. + +One day, Lily brought her favorite doll to school. She wanted to show her teacher and her friends. But the mean group saw her doll and laughed. They took her doll and threw it in the mud. They said, "Look at your dirty doll! She is ugly and stupid! You are ugly and stupid too!" + +Lily cried and ran to the teacher. The teacher saw what happened and was angry. She scolded the mean group and made them say sorry.

Don't let anyone tease you or hurt you. You have many friends who like you and your dolls." + +Lily smiled and thanked the teacher. She saw some other kids who also liked dolls. They came to her and asked if they could play with her. They said, "We love your doll. She is pretty and nice. Can we have a tea party with you and your dolls?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, of course. You are my friends. Let's play together." + +Lily was happy with her dolls and her friends. She did not care about the mean group anymore. She knew they were wrong and she was right. She knew she was normal and special. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. They saw a big fountain with water that sprayed high in the air. Tom and Lily wanted to go near the fountain and feel the water. + +"Can we go to the fountain, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't get too wet or too close to the water. It might be cold or strong," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the fountain. They laughed and splashed and felt the water spray on their faces and arms. They had fun. But then, Tom had a bad idea. He saw a hose near the fountain. He picked it up and turned it on. He sprayed Lily with the hose. Lily got wet and angry. + +"Stop it, Tom! You are mean! I don't like you!" Lily shouted. + +She tried to take the hose from Tom, but he did not let go. He sprayed her more and more. Lily cried and ran to Mom. Mom saw what Tom did and got angry too. + +"Tom, what are you doing? That is not nice! You are hurting Lily and wasting water! Give me the hose right now!" Mom said. + +But Tom did not listen. He sprayed Mom with the hose too. Mom got wet and angrier. She grabbed the hose from Tom and turned it off. She scolded Tom and took him and Lily away from the fountain. She said they had to go home and no more park for today. Tom and Lily were sad and sorry. They had a bad day. +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a box of cake mix in the kitchen. They read the words on the box. They needed eggs, water, and oil. + +"Let's go to the yard and get some eggs," Tom said. "Dad has some chickens there." + +"Okay," Lily said. "I will get the water and oil." + +They went to the yard and saw the chickens. They were brown and white and clucked softly. Tom and Lily looked for eggs in the nests. They found four eggs and put them in a basket. + +"Thank you, chickens," Tom said. "You are very helpful." + +They went back to the kitchen and put the eggs, water, and oil in a big bowl. They opened the box of cake mix and poured it in the bowl. + +"Now we have to mix it," Lily said. "Do you have a spoon?" + +Tom looked around and saw a big wooden spoon. He gave it to Lily. Lily started to mix the cake batter. She stirred and stirred until it was smooth and creamy. + +"Can I help you mix?" Tom asked. + +"Sure," Lily said. "You can take turns with me." + +They took turns mixing the cake batter. They had fun and laughed.

Cleaning your room will help you enjoy the piano more. Trust me." + +Anna thought about what mom said. She did not want to lose her toys. And she did not want to stop playing the piano.

But I forgive you because you are my friend. But you have to promise me that you will never lie to me or take my things again.

It was everywhere. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her mom asked, very angry. + +Lily felt very scared. She knew she was in trouble. She tried to say sorry, but she could not. The gum was stuck in her mouth. She could not open it. She could not talk. She could only cry. + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "Lily, you were very naughty. You took the gum without asking. You lied to me. You ate too much gum. Now you have to go to the dentist. He will have to cut the gum out of your hair and your mouth. It will hurt a lot. And you will have no more gum for a long time. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had not been so enthusiastic about gum. She wished she had stopped. She was very sorry. But it was too late. +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with her big sister, but her big sister was busy. She had to fill a big bag with clothes. She said she was going to a new place and she would not come back for a long time. + +"Why do you have to go?" Lily asked. + +"Because I am grown up now. I have to work and learn new things. But I will miss you a lot. You are my best friend." Her big sister said. + +"Can I go with you?" Lily said. + +"No, you have to stay here with Mom and Dad. They need you. And you have to go to school and make new friends. But I will call you and write to you and send you pictures. And I will come back to visit you sometimes." Her big sister said. + +Lily hugged her big sister and cried. She did not want her to go. She gave her a shirt that she had painted with her handprints. She said it was a special gift. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is a beautiful shirt. I will wear it and think of you. You are very sweet and smart and brave. I love you very much." Her big sister said. + +She put the shirt in the bag and zipped it up. She said goodbye to Mom and Dad and picked up the bag. She walked to the door and waved to Lily. + +"Bye, Lily. I will see you soon. Be good and have fun. I love you." She said. + +Lily waved back and smiled. She was still sad, but she was also proud of her big sister. She knew she would miss her, but she also knew she would talk to her and see her again. She loved her very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and a small brush. They wanted to paint the fence with water. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a wet line on the fence," Tom said. He dipped his brush in the water and spread it on the wood. + +"Me too, Tom, me too," Lily said. She copied her brother and made another wet line next to his. + +They had fun painting the fence with water. They made wet lines, wet circles, wet stars and wet flowers. They laughed and splashed each other. + +But they did not see the enormous dog that was sleeping under the tree. The dog was very hairy and very sleepy. He did not like water at all. + +The dog woke up when he felt a drop of water on his nose. He opened his eyes and saw Tom and Lily playing with the bucket and the brush. He was very angry and very wet. + +He jumped up and barked loudly. He ran towards Tom and Lily and shook his fur. He made a big shower of water that soaked the children and the fence. + +Tom and Lily were scared and surprised. They dropped the bucket and the brush and ran away. They hid behind the house and cried. + +The dog stopped barking and went back to his spot under the tree. He licked his fur and lay down again. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and respectful of others. They learned that water is not a toy and that some animals do not like it. They learned to say sorry and to make friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. Sara wanted to climb the tree, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara said. "You can see the birds and the sky." + +"No, Sara, it is too high. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben said. He folded his arms and looked away. + +Sara was impatient. She did not like to wait for Ben. She climbed the tree by herself. She reached a branch that was very long and thin. She sat on the branch and swung her legs. + +"Look at me, Ben, I am a bird!" Sara shouted. She flapped her arms and made noises. + +Ben looked up and saw Sara. He was worried. The branch looked weak. It might break. + +"Sara, be careful! The branch is not strong. You should come down." Ben said. + +Sara did not listen. She thought Ben was silly. She flapped her arms harder and made louder noises. + +Suddenly, the branch snapped. Sara screamed. She fell to the ground. + +Ben ran to Sara. He was scared. He hoped Sara was not hurt. + +"Sara, Sara, are you okay?" Ben asked. + +Sara opened her eyes. She was not okay. She had a big bump on her head and a scratch on her arm. She felt pain and tears. + +"Ben, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you." Sara said. + +Ben hugged Sara. He was glad Sara was sorry. He was not angry. He was a good friend. + +"It is okay, Sara. I am sorry too. I should have been more brave. I was a coward." Ben said. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They were still friends. They learned a lesson. They decided to play something else. They did not climb the tree again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons and papers in her room. She drew flowers, animals, stars and anything she saw or imagined. She was very proud of her drawings and showed them to her mom and dad. + +One day, she saw a big frame on the wall in the living room. It had a picture of a man with a long beard and a hat. He looked very serious and angry. Lily did not know who he was. She asked her mom, "Who is that man in the frame?" + +Her mom said, "That is your great-grandpa. He was my grandpa. He died a long time ago. He was a brave and kind man. He loved to read and write books." + +Lily wondered what kind of books he wrote. She wondered if he liked to draw too. She wondered if he would like her drawings. She wanted to show him her drawings and make him smile. + +She took one of her papers and a crayon. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, great-grandpa" inside. She went to the living room and climbed on a chair. She tried to put her drawing on the frame, next to the picture of the man. + +But the frame was too high and too heavy. It slipped from the wall and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. The picture of the man was torn and dirty. + +Lily was fearful. She thought she had done something bad. She thought the man would be angry at her. She thought her mom would be angry too. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken frame and the crying Lily. She was not angry. She was sad and worried. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. It was an accident. You didn't mean to break the frame. You wanted to be nice to your great-grandpa. He would not be angry at you. He would love your drawing. I love your drawing too. And I love you more than anything." + +Lily felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you too. And I love great-grandpa. Can we fix the frame and the picture?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. We can glue the frame and tape the picture. We can also put your drawing in a new frame and hang it on the wall. Then we can have two pictures of your great-grandpa. One from the past and one from the present. He would be happy to see that you remember him and care for him." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom in the world." + +Her mom smiled too. She said, "You are the best daughter in the world." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom draws a big red car on a paper. He is very proud of his car. He shows it to Lily and says, "Look, Lily, this is my car. It is red and fast and loud. Do you like it?" + +Lily looks at the car and smiles. She likes Tom's car, but she also likes her own picture. She draws a big blue bird on another paper. She shows it to Tom and says, "Look, Tom, this is my bird. It is blue and soft and sings. Do you like it?" + +Tom looks at the bird and frowns. He does not like Lily's bird. He thinks his car is better. He says, "No, Lily, I don't like your bird. Your bird is silly and boring and quiet. My car is better. My car can go far and fast and make noise. Your bird can only fly and sing." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not like Tom's words. She thinks her bird is better. She says, "No, Tom, you are wrong. Your car is silly and boring and loud. My bird is better. My bird can fly and sing and see many things. Your car can only go and make noise." + +Tom and Lily start to argue. They say mean things to each other. They do not want to play or share anymore. They want to send their pictures away and not see them again. + +But then, Mom comes and sees them. She hears their words and sees their faces. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you arguing? Why are you saying mean things? Don't you know that is not nice? Don't you know that is not the truth?" + +Tom and Lily stop and look at Mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. They know Mom is right. They know they are not nice. They know they are not telling the truth. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are sorry. We were not nice. We were not telling the truth. We were just angry and jealous. We both like our pictures. We both did a good job. We don't want to send them away. We want to keep them and share them." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I'm glad you are sorry. I'm glad you are telling the truth. I'm glad you like your pictures. I'm glad you want to keep them and share them. That is what friends do. They are kind and honest and generous. They appreciate and respect each other. They have fun and learn together. Do you want to be friends again?" + +Tom and Lily nod and smile. They say, "Yes, Mom. We want to be friends again. We are sorry for arguing. We are happy for sharing. We love our pictures. We love each other." + +Mom says, "That's wonderful, Tom and Lily. I'm proud of you. You are good friends. You are good children. Now, why don't you show me your pictures and tell me about them? I'm sure they are both very beautiful and interesting." + +Tom and Lily say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We will show you our pictures and tell you about them. We have a big red car and a big blue bird. They are both very beautiful and interesting. They are both our pictures and our friends." +Tom was a hungry boy. He liked to eat a lot of food. One day, he went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He saw many animals there. He saw lions, monkeys, elephants and more. + +"Look, mom, a big snake!" Tom said. He pointed to a long green snake in a glass cage. The snake had a staff in its mouth. The staff was shiny and had a star on top. + +"That's not a snake, Tom. That's a dragon," mom said. "The staff belongs to the zoo keeper. He uses it to do magic tricks for the visitors." + +"Can I see the magic tricks?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's go and watch," dad said. They followed the zoo keeper to a stage. The zoo keeper took the staff out of the dragon's mouth. He waved it in the air and said some funny words. + +"Abra-cadabra, ala-kazam, make some food for this hungry boy!" The zoo keeper said. He pointed the staff at Tom. Suddenly, a big plate of cookies appeared in front of Tom. + +"Wow, thank you, mister!" Tom said. He grabbed a cookie and took a big bite. It was yummy and sweet. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Enjoy your snack. And remember, don't take things that are not yours. Even if you are hungry," the zoo keeper said. He smiled and winked at Tom. + +Tom nodded and said sorry. He learned his lesson. He shared his cookies with his mom and dad. They had a fun day at the zoo. +Sara and Tom were playing with clay. They made shapes and animals with their hands. They had fun and laughed a lot. But the clay was wet and sticky. It made their hands dirty and wet. + +Mom came and saw them. She smiled and said, "You are very creative, but you need to clean up now. The clay will dry and become hard and dull. Then you cannot play with it anymore. Come, I will help you wash your hands." + +Sara and Tom followed Mom to the sink. They rubbed their hands with soap and water. The clay came off and went down the drain. Their hands were clean and wet. Mom gave them a towel to dry their hands. They rubbed their hands with the towel. The towel was soft and warm. Their hands were dry and warm. + +Mom said, "Now your hands are clean and dry. You can play with something else. How about some books or puzzles?" Sara and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please!" They ran to the shelf and picked some books and puzzles. They sat on the floor and looked at the pictures and words. They had fun and learned a lot. But the books and puzzles were not wet and sticky. They were dry and bright. +Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw something shiny in the grass. It was a diamond! Tom and Jen were very happy. They wanted to keep the diamond for themselves. + +"Let's pick it up and take it home," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. No one can see us," Jen said. + +They looked around and saw no one. They ran to the diamond and picked it up. It was very pretty and sparkly. They put it in their pocket and ran away. + +But they did not know that the diamond was not real. It was a fake diamond that someone had dropped by mistake. It was made of glass and had no value. They were foolish to think it was a real diamond. + +When they got home, they showed the diamond to their parents. Their parents laughed and told them the truth. Tom and Jen felt silly and sad. They had wasted their time and energy for nothing. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything that glitters is gold. They learned that they should not be greedy and selfish. They learned that they should be honest and smart. They learned that they should not pick up things that do not belong to them. +Ben and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys and clothes and books, but they always wanted more. They did not like to share or say thank you. + +One day, they saw a boy outside their gate. He had a dirty shirt and a hole in his pants. He was holding a ball made of rags. He smiled at them and said, "Hi, do you want to play with me?" + +Ben and Lily looked at him and laughed. "No, we don't want to play with you. You are poor and we are wealthy. Go away, you have nothing we want." + +The boy felt sad and walked away. He did not have a mom or a dad or a house. He only had his ball and his hand. + +Ben and Lily went back to their toys and clothes and books. But they did not feel happy. They felt bored and lonely. They did not have any friends or fun. + +They looked out the window and saw the boy again. He was playing with his ball and his hand. He was making funny noises and faces. He looked happy and free. + +Ben and Lily felt curious and sorry. They ran outside and called to him. "Hey, wait, we are sorry. Can we play with you?" + +The boy stopped and turned around. He saw them and smiled. "Sure, you can play with me. I have a ball and a hand. You can use them too." + +Ben and Lily took his ball and his hand. They threw the ball and caught it. They made funny noises and faces. They laughed and played. They felt happy and free. + +They learned that they did not need many things to have fun. They only needed a ball and a hand and a friend. They said thank you and sorry to the boy. They shared their toys and clothes and books with him. They became friends and played every day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, towers, bridges, and cars. + +One day, Mom says, "We need to go to the grocery. We need to buy milk, eggs, bread, and fruit. Do you want to come with me?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. We want to come with you. Can we bring our blocks?" + +Mom says, "Sure, you can bring your blocks. But you have to put them in a bag. And you have to be careful with them. Don't lose them or throw them." + +Lily and Ben put their blocks in a bag. They go to the grocery with Mom. They see many things at the grocery. They see apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes. They see cheese, yogurt, butter, and ham. They see cookies, cakes, pies, and candy. + +Lily and Ben say, "Wow, Mom. The grocery has many things. Can we have some cookies?" + +Mom says, "No, cookies are not good for you. You can have one cookie after dinner. But first, you have to eat your vegetables." + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mom. We will eat our vegetables. But can we play with our blocks?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can play with your blocks. But only in the corner. And don't make a mess. And don't bother other people." + +Lily and Ben go to the corner. They take out their blocks. They start to build something with their blocks. They build a funny animal. It has a big head, a long neck, a round body, and four legs. It has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, and two ears. It has red, blue, green, and yellow blocks. + +Lily and Ben say, "Look, Mom. We made a funny animal. It is a giraffe. Do you like it?" + +Mom says, "Yes, I like it. It is very funny. And very creative. You are very good at building things with blocks. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love our blocks. And we love our funny animal." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lila says. She runs to the slide. Ben follows her. + +But there is a problem. The slide is too small for them. They are too big. They try to fit in the slide, but they can't. They get stuck. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Ben shout. They are scared. They want to get out. + +A man hears them. He has a cell in his hand. He calls for help. He says, "There are two kids stuck in the slide. Please come fast." + +Soon, a fire truck comes. The firemen rush to the slide. They have tools. They cut the slide. They free Lila and Ben. + +"Are you okay?" the firemen ask. + +"Yes, we are okay. Thank you," Lila and Ben say. + +They hug the firemen. They hug the man. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They will not go on slides that are too small for them. They will look for slides that are fit for them. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the pool. The pool is nice and cool. Sara and Tom have toys in the pool. They have a ball, a duck and a ring. + +"Look, Tom, I can hold the ring with my feet!" Sara says. She puts her feet in the ring and floats on the water. She smiles and kicks her legs. + +"Wow, Sara, you are good!" Tom says. He tries to hold the ring with his feet too, but he cannot. He falls in the water and splashes Sara. + +"Hey, Tom, that is not nice!" Sara says. She splashes Tom back. They laugh and splash each other. + +"Let's play with the ball now!" Tom says. He picks up the ball and throws it to Sara. Sara catches the ball and throws it back to Tom. They have fun in the pool. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the attic. They found many old things that belonged to their grandma and grandpa. One day, they saw a big trunk that was locked with a key. They wondered what was inside. + +"Maybe it has treasure or toys or clothes," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it has monsters or spiders or dust," Mia said. + +They looked for the key, but they could not find it. They tried to open the trunk with a spoon, a stick and a shoe, but nothing worked. They were about to give up when they heard a knock on the door. + +"Who is it?" Ben asked. + +"It's me, Grandma!" a voice said. "I came to visit you and bring you a surprise." + +Ben and Mia ran to the door and hugged their grandma. They were happy to see her. They told her about the trunk and asked her if she had the key. + +"Of course I have the key," Grandma said. "It's right here in my pocket. Do you want to see what's inside?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Mia said. + +Grandma took them to the attic and unlocked the trunk. She lifted the lid and showed them what was inside. It was a pile of books, pictures, toys and clothes that Grandma and Grandpa had when they were children. + +"These are some of the things that made me happy when I was your age," Grandma said. "They are very old, but very original. They have stories and memories that I want to share with you." + +Ben and Mia looked at the trunk with wonder. They saw a doll, a train, a hat, a ball and many other things. They picked up some of them and asked Grandma to tell them more. + +Grandma smiled and sat down with them. She told them stories about her childhood, her family, her friends and her adventures. She made them laugh and learn and imagine. She welcomed them to her past and her heart. + +Ben and Mia listened and played and enjoyed. They thanked Grandma for her surprise and told her they loved her. They learned that old things can be new and fun and valuable. They learned that Grandma was a treasure and a toy and a friend. They learned that the best things in life are not things, but people. +Tim and Liz are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. They like to make up stories with their toys and pretend they are different people. + +"Look, I have a big truck!" Tim says, holding a yellow toy truck. "It can carry anything!" + +"I have a pretty doll!" Liz says, holding a pink toy doll. "She is a princess and she lives in a castle!" + +Tim and Liz decide to trade their toys for a while. They give each other their toys and say thank you. They are happy to try something new. + +But then, Tim sees a sticker on the back of the doll. It has a word on it. He does not know what it means, but he thinks it is important. + +"What is this?" he asks Liz, pointing to the sticker. + +"That is a label," Liz says. "It tells you who made the doll and where it came from." + +"Can I take it off?" Tim asks. + +"No, don't do that!" Liz says. "It is part of the doll. It makes her special." + +But Tim does not listen. He tries to peel off the label with his fingers. He pulls and pulls, but it does not come off. He pulls harder and harder, until he drops the doll on the floor. + +"Hey, you dropped my doll!" Liz cries. "You are not careful with my toys!" + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tim says. "I just wanted to see the label. I did not mean to drop her." + +Liz picks up her doll and checks if she is okay. She sees that the label is still on, but it is wrinkled and torn. She is sad and angry. + +"You ruined my label!" she says. "You are not nice to my toys!" + +She takes back her doll and gives Tim his truck. She does not want to play with him anymore. + +Tim feels bad. He did not want to make Liz upset. He did not know that the label was so important to her. He wishes he could fix it. + +"I'm sorry, Liz," he says. "Can we still be friends?" + +Liz looks at him. She sees that he is sorry. She remembers that he is her friend and that he shared his truck with her. She thinks for a moment. + +"Okay," she says. "But next time, ask me before you touch my label. And be careful with my toys." + +"Okay," Tim says. "And you be careful with my truck. It is my favorite toy." + +They smile at each other and hug. They are friends again. They decide to play with their toys together and make up a new story. They are happy and successful. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They also liked to count how many blocks they had. + +"Look, I have ten blocks!" Tom said, holding up his fingers. + +"I have more than you!" Lily said, pointing to her pile. "I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve blocks!" + +"Wow, you are good at counting!" Tom said. "Can I have some of your blocks?" + +"No, they are mine!" Lily said. "You have to find your own blocks!" + +Tom was sad. He wanted to have more blocks too. He looked around the room and saw a big box. He thought maybe there were more blocks inside. He ran to the box and opened it. + +But there were no blocks in the box. There was something else. Something that made a loud noise and a bright flash. It was a shock! + +Tom screamed and dropped the box. Lily heard him and ran to see what happened. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked, worried. + +Tom was crying. He had a red mark on his hand. It hurt a lot. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was careless. I opened the box and there was a shock. It was scary." + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry too. I was selfish. I should have shared my blocks with you. Here, you can have some of my blocks." + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Can we play together?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Let's build something nice with our blocks. And let's count them together." + +They took their blocks and started to play. They forgot about the box and the shock. They were happy. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They lived near a big valley with many trees and flowers. One day, they decided to explore the valley and look for animals. + +"Come on, Sam, let's go this way!" Ben said, pointing to a path that led deeper into the valley. + +"Are you sure, Ben? Mom said we should not go too far from home. She said there might be danger in the valley," Sam said, feeling scared. + +"Don't be a baby, Sam. Mom does not mind if we have some fun. There is no danger here, only adventure. Come on, follow me!" Ben said, running ahead. + +Sam did not want to upset his brother, so he followed him. They walked for a long time, until they came to a river. The river was filthy, with brown water and trash floating on it. Ben saw a bridge made of wood and rope that crossed the river. + +"Look, Sam, a bridge! Let's cross it and see what is on the other side!" Ben said, excited. + +"Ben, wait! The bridge looks old and weak. It might break if we step on it. Let's go back, please," Sam said, worried. + +"Don't be silly, Sam. The bridge is fine. It will hold us. Trust me. It will be fun!" Ben said, grabbing Sam's hand and pulling him to the bridge. + +They started to cross the bridge, but Sam was right. The bridge was old and weak. It creaked and swayed as they walked on it. Halfway across, one of the ropes snapped and the bridge tilted. Ben and Sam lost their balance and fell into the filthy river. + +They screamed and splashed, but the river was too fast and too deep. They could not swim or grab anything. They were swept away by the current, farther and farther from home. They never saw their mom again. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and do not go where you should not. You might end up in trouble or worse. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see some flowers. They are yellow and pink and purple. Lily and Ben want to pick some flowers for Mom. + +"Look, Ben, pretty flowers!" Lily says. She runs to the flowers and picks one. She smells it. It smells good. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He follows Lily and picks a flower. He puts it in his hair. He laughs. + +They pick more flowers. They make a big bunch. They are happy. They want to show Mom. + +They run to the house. They see Mom in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She has yogurt and bread and cheese and fruit. + +"Mom, Mom, look what we have!" Lily and Ben say. They hold up the flowers. + +Mom smiles. She sees the flowers. She also sees their hands. Their hands are dirty. They have mud and grass and bugs on them. + +"Oh, thank you, my loves, the flowers are beautiful!" Mom says. She hugs them. "But your hands are very dirty. You need to wash them before you eat." + +Lily and Ben nod. They go to the sink. They wash their hands. They use soap and water. They dry their hands. They are clean. + +They go back to Mom. They sit at the table. They eat lunch. They have yogurt and bread and cheese and fruit. They like yogurt. It is creamy and sweet. + +They talk to Mom. They tell her about the flowers. They tell her what they saw in the garden. They tell her what they want to do next. + +They are happy. They love Mom. Mom loves them. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman and a small hut. The hut is for them to hide and rest. + +But one day, a big dog comes to their yard. The dog is hungry and angry. He sees the snowman and the hut. He thinks they are food. He runs to them and bites them. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run to the hut and close the door. The dog follows them and tries to break the door. He barks and scratches. Tom and Sam hug each other and cry. + +They hear a loud noise. It is their dad. He comes out of the house and sees the dog. He shouts at the dog and throws a stick. The dog is afraid and runs away. + +Tom and Sam open the door and run to their dad. He hugs them and takes them inside. He says they are brave and he is proud of them. He gives them hot chocolate and cookies. He says they can make a new snowman and hut tomorrow. He says he will watch them and keep them safe. + +Tom and Sam smile and thank their dad. They are happy and warm. They forget about the dog and the harsh cold. They love their dad and their snow play. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with fish. They have a big bowl with many fish. The fish are red, blue, yellow and green. They swim and jump in the water. + +One day, Tom and Sam are looking at the fish. They see a long fish. The long fish is orange and black. It has stripes on its body. It looks like a tiger. + +"Wow, look at that fish!" Tom says. "It is so long and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam says. "I want to touch it!" + +Sam puts his hand in the bowl. He tries to catch the long fish. But the long fish is fast and smart. It swims away from Sam's hand. + +Sam tries again and again. He gets wet and angry. He does not give up. + +Tom laughs at Sam. He thinks Sam is funny. He says, "You can't catch the long fish! It is too quick for you!" + +Sam does not like Tom's laugh. He feels sad and mad. He says, "Yes, I can! Watch me!" + +Sam puts his face in the bowl. He opens his mouth. He wants to bite the long fish. + +But then, something happens.

He says they can play together again. Sara and Ben say yes. They hug Max and say thank you. They have a lot of fun in the park. +Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the living room. It was a gift from their grandma, who lived far away. They opened the box and saw many things inside: books, puzzles, crayons, and a shiny silver spoon. + +"Wow, look at this spoon!" Mia said. "It is so pretty and sparkly. I want it!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "It is mine!" + +They both grabbed the spoon and pulled hard. They started to fight and yell. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are spoiling your gift. Grandma sent this for both of you to share and enjoy. You should be grateful, not greedy." + +She took the spoon from them and put it on the table. She told them to sit down and calm down. She showed them the other things in the box and how to use them. She read them a book, helped them with a puzzle, and gave them some crayons to draw. + +Mia and Ben forgot about the spoon and had fun with their mom. They learned to play nicely and say thank you. They realized that they had many things to be grateful for, not just one spoon. +Timmy liked to play with his toys in the kitchen. He had cars and trucks and trains that he could push and pull and make noises with. He also had a big box of stickers that he could attach to anything he wanted. He thought stickers made everything more fun and pretty. + +One night, Timmy woke up and felt bored. He could not sleep because it was too hot and he had a bad dream. He wanted to play with his toys in the kitchen, but it was dark and he was scared. He looked for his flashlight, but he could not find it. He remembered that his mom had a big light in the kitchen that she used when she cooked. He thought maybe he could use that light to play. + +He got out of his bed and walked to the kitchen. He was very quiet because he did not want to wake up his mom and dad. He saw the big light on the counter. It was shiny and metal and had a long cord. He reached for the light, but it was too high. He saw a chair nearby and dragged it to the counter. He climbed on the chair and grabbed the light. He felt happy and proud. + +He turned on the light and saw his toys on the floor. He smiled and jumped off the chair. He ran to his toys and started to play. He attached stickers to his cars and trucks and trains. He made them go vroom and beep and choo-choo. He did not hear his mom and dad wake up and come to the kitchen. He did not see the cord of the light get tangled with his feet. He did not notice the light fall off the counter and hit his head. He did not feel the pain and the blood. He only saw the stickers and the toys and the light. He thought he was having fun. He was wrong. +Ben and Mia are best friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big spider web on a tree. It is shiny and sticky. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "It is a network of strings. The spider makes it to catch bugs." + +Mia is fearful of spiders. She does not like their long legs and hairy bodies. She thinks they are scary and mean. She backs away from the web. + +"Ben, I don't want to go near it. What if the spider comes out and bites us?" Mia says. + +Ben is not fearful of spiders. He thinks they are cool and smart. He wants to see the spider up close. He walks towards the web. + +"Mia, don't be afraid. The spider won't hurt us. It is more afraid of us than we are of it. Come on, let's go see it." Ben says. + +He reaches out his hand to touch the web. He feels a soft and squishy thing on his finger. He looks and sees a small spider. It is brown and fuzzy. It has eight eyes and a red spot on its back. + +"Hello, little spider. You are so cute. Can I be your friend?" Ben says. + +He gently squeezes the spider in his hand. He feels it tickle his palm. He smiles and shows it to Mia. + +"Mia, look. This is the spider. It is not scary at all. It is friendly and cuddly. Do you want to hold it?" Ben says. + +Mia looks at the spider in Ben's hand. She sees that it is not big and mean. It is small and cute. She feels curious and brave. She nods and reaches out her hand. + +"Okay, Ben. I want to hold it. But be careful. Don't hurt it." Mia says. + +Ben carefully places the spider in Mia's hand. She feels it tickle her palm. She smiles and looks at it. + +"Hello, little spider. You are so cute. Can I be your friend?" Mia says. + +The spider wiggles its legs and makes a tiny sound. It seems to like Ben and Mia. They are gentle and kind. They are its new friends. + +Ben and Mia are happy. They have found a new friend in the park. They have learned that spiders are not scary. They are cool and smart. They have a network of strings. They can make friends with anyone. +Anna liked to wear jewelry. She had many necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Some were shiny, some were colorful, some were sparkly. She wore them every day, even to school. + +One day, a new girl came to her class. Her name was Mia. She had no jewelry. She wore a plain dress and a plain ribbon in her hair. Anna thought Mia was boring. She did not want to play with her. + +At recess, Anna showed off her jewelry to the other kids. She said, "Look at my jewelry. It is so pretty and expensive. I have more than anyone else. Mia has none. She is poor and dull." + +Mia heard Anna and felt sad. She said, "I don't have jewelry, but I have something else. I have a big heart and a kind smile. I like to share and help. I don't need jewelry to be happy." + +Anna laughed and said, "That is silly. Jewelry is better than a big heart and a kind smile. Jewelry makes you beautiful and rich. You are just jealous of me." + +Mia shook her head and walked away. She found a friend who liked her for who she was, not for what she wore. + +The next day, Anna came to school with no jewelry. She looked sad and scared. She said, "Someone stole my jewelry. They broke into my house and took everything. They left nothing behind. Now I have no jewelry. I am ugly and poor." + +The other kids felt sorry for Anna, but they did not know what to say. They remembered how she had bragged and teased. They wondered if she had learned her lesson. + +Mia came to Anna and said, "I am sorry for what happened to you. That is very bad. Do you want to play with me? I can share my toys with you. I don't care if you have jewelry or not. I care if you are nice and friendly." + +Anna looked at Mia and felt ashamed. She realized that Mia was right. Jewelry was not important. It was cheap and could be lost or stolen. A big heart and a kind smile were more valuable. They could make you happy and loved. She said, "Thank you, Mia. You are very kind. I was wrong to judge you and hurt you. I want to be your friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Of course I can. I am glad you changed your mind. Come on, let's play. We can have fun together." + +Anna and Mia became friends. Anna learned to be humble and generous. She did not wear jewelry anymore. She wore a big heart and a kind smile instead. She was happier than ever. +Ben loves to zoom around the house with his toy car. He makes loud noises like vroom and beep as he pretends to drive. He likes to zoom under the table, over the rug, and around the sofa. + +One day, he finds a sock on the floor. It is not his sock. It is a big sock with red and green stripes. He wonders who left it there. He picks it up and puts it on his toy car. He thinks it looks like a hat. + +He zooms to the kitchen, where his mom is making lunch. He shows her his toy car with the sock hat. He says, "Look, Mom, my car is wealthy. It has a fancy hat." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's a very nice hat, Ben. But do you know whose sock it is?" + +Ben shakes his head. He does not know. + +Mom says, "It is your dad's sock. He left it here by mistake. He is at work now, but he will be back soon. He will be happy to see his sock." + +Ben says, "Oh, I see. Can I keep the sock for a little while? I like it." + +Mom says, "Sure, you can keep it for a little while. But when dad comes home, you have to give it back to him, okay?" + +Ben says, "Okay, Mom. Thank you." + +He zooms away with his toy car and his sock hat. He is happy. He thinks his car is the wealthiest car in the world. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Sara, I can soak my foot in the water!" Ben says. He puts his foot in the tub and wiggles his toes. The water feels nice and cool. + +"Me too, me too!" Sara says. She soaks her foot in the water too. She likes how the water tickles her foot. + +They take turns to soak their feet and their hands and their toys. They make bubbles and waves and noises. + +Then they hear their mom call them. "Sara, Ben, time to come in and have a snack!" + +"Okay, mom!" they say. They dry their feet and their hands and their toys. They put the tub away and run to the house. + +They are happy and hungry. They have a nice snack of milk and cookies. They tell their mom about their fun game. They hug and kiss their mom and say thank you. They are good children. +Anna loved to imagine that she had a dog. She wanted a big, brown, dependable dog that would play with her, cuddle with her, and protect her. She would draw pictures of her dog and give him a name. She called him Max.
