+
+Just then, a friendly dolphin appeared and hugged Lily tightly. The dolphin was able to scare the shark away and save Lily. Lily was so happy and grateful to the dolphin, she gave it a big hug. But then, Lily's mom gave her a sour candy to eat. Lily didn't like the taste and made a sour face. 
+
+Unfortunately, the bad ending to this story is that Lily never went swimming in the ocean again. She was too scared of the sharks. But she always remembered the kind dolphin who saved her life and gave her a big hug.

+
+During dinner, Timmy's mommy asked him to pass the potatoes. Timmy reached for the bowl and accidentally dropped it on the floor. He felt embarrassed and wanted to run away, but his mommy said, "It's okay, Timmy. Accidents happen. You are still a polite and kind boy."

+
+One day, a fairy came to his palace. She said, "I can give you anything you wish, but you have to be careful what you ask for. If you are greedy, you will be sorry." The king did not listen to the fairy. He said, "I wish to be the most powerful king in the world. I want to rule over everyone and everything."
+
+The fairy said, "As you wish." She waved her wand and the king felt a strange change. He looked around and saw that he was the only person left in the world. His palace, his things, his people, and his land were gone. He was alone and had nothing.
+
+The king cried and cried. He realized that he had made a terrible mistake. He wished he could go back to his old life. He wished he could be grateful for what he had. He wished he could see the fairy again and say sorry. But it was too late. The fairy never came back. The king was alone and unhappy forever.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful what you wish for. Greed can make you lose everything. Be happy with what you have and don't complain.
+Mia has a rag doll that she loves very much. She calls her doll Lila and takes her everywhere. Lila is very obedient and does what Mia says. She never cries or complains or makes a mess.
+
+One day, Mia and Lila go to the park with Mia's mom. Mia sees a big hill and wants to roll down it. She asks her mom if she can. Her mom says yes, but be careful. Mia holds Lila in her arms and runs to the top of the hill. She looks down and feels excited.
+
+"Ready, Lila?" Mia says. "We are going to roll down the hill. It will be fun. Don't be scared. I will hold you tight." Lila nods and smiles. She trusts Mia. Mia lies down on the grass and hugs Lila. Then she pushes herself and starts to roll.
+
+Mia and Lila roll down the hill very fast. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and giggle. They roll and roll until they reach the bottom. They are dizzy and happy.
+
+Mia's mom is waiting for them. She claps and cheers. She says they did a great job. She picks up Mia and Lila and gives them a big hug. She says she is proud of them. She says they are brave and obedient. Mia and Lila smile and hug her back. They love their mom. They love each other. They love to roll.
+Lily and Max loved to play with their toy planes. They pretended to be pilots and flew them around the room. Sometimes they raced each other to see who was faster.
+
+One day, they saw a big plane in the sky. It was shiny and loud. They wondered where it was going and who was flying it.
+
+"Let's ask daddy," Lily said. "He knows a lot about planes."
+
+They ran to their father, who was reading a book on the couch. They showed him their toy planes and pointed to the sky.
+
+"Daddy, daddy, what is that big plane?" Max asked.
+
+"That is a jet plane," their father said. "It can fly very fast and far. It is going to another country."
+
+"Who is flying it?" Lily asked.
+
+"There is a pilot in the front of the plane," their father said. "He or she controls the plane and talks to other pilots and people on the ground. It is a very important and hard job."
+
+"Wow, that sounds cool," Max said. "I want to be a pilot when I grow up."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But I will be a better pilot than you. I will fly faster and higher and win all the races."
+
+"No, you won't," Max said. "I will be a better pilot than you. I will fly smarter and safer and have more fun."
+
+They started to argue and push each other. Their father sighed and put down his book.
+
+"Kids, kids, stop fighting," he said. "Being a pilot is not a competition. It is a cooperation. You have to work with other pilots and people to fly the plane well. You have to respect and help each other. You have to love flying, not just winning."
+
+He picked up their toy planes and gave them back.
+
+"Here, play nicely with your planes," he said. "And maybe one day, you can both be pilots. But first, you have to learn a lot of things and practice a lot. And you have to listen to me when I explain things to you."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and hugged their father. They said they were sorry and thanked him for explaining. They went back to their room and played with their toy planes. They pretended to be pilots and flew them around the room. Sometimes they raced each other, but they also cheered and helped each other. They had fun and learned a lot.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big purse on a bench. It is pink and shiny. Anna likes it very much.
+
+"Look, Ben, a purse!" Anna says. "Can I have it?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna, that is not your purse. That is someone else's purse. They will come back for it. We should not touch it."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She runs to the bench and grabs the purse. She opens it and sees many things inside. She sees a phone, a wallet, a key, and a candy.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Anna says. "This is a nice purse. I want to keep it."
+
+Ben feels scared. He knows that Anna is doing something bad. He tries to stop her.
+
+"Anna, please, put the purse back. That is not yours. You are stealing. That is wrong. You will get in trouble."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She puts the phone, the wallet, the key, and the candy in her pocket. She says, "No, Ben, this is my purse now. I like it. Let's go."
+
+She runs away with the purse. Ben follows her. He feels sad and angry.
+
+They do not see the lady who owns the purse. She comes back to the bench and sees that her purse is gone. She feels sad and scared. She cries and calls for help.
+
+A man sees her and asks, "What is wrong, lady?"
+
+The lady says, "Someone took my purse. It was right here. It had all my things. My phone, my wallet, my key, my candy. I need them. Please, help me find them."
+
+The man says, "Don't worry, lady. I will help you. Maybe someone saw who took your purse. Let's ask around."
+
+They look for Anna and Ben. They ask other people in the park. They see a friendly dog. The dog barks and runs to them. He has something in his mouth. It is the candy that Anna took from the purse.
+
+The lady says, "That is my candy. That is from my purse. Where did you get it, dog?"
+
+The dog drops the candy and wags his tail. He leads them to Anna and Ben. He barks and points at them.
+
+The lady says, "There they are. They have my purse. They are the thieves. Stop them."
+
+The man says, "Hey, you two. Stop right there. Give back the purse. You are in big trouble."
+
+Anna and Ben hear them. They feel scared. They try to run away. But the dog is faster. He catches them and bites their legs. They fall down and drop the purse.
+
+The lady and the man catch up with them. They take the purse and the things that Anna took. They scold them and call the police.
+
+Anna and Ben cry and say sorry. They regret what they did. They know they were wrong. They wish they had listened to Ben. They wish they had not taken the purse. They wish they had been friendly.
+Sam and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make vroom-vroom noises and pretend they were racing. Sam had a red car with a big motor that made loud sounds. Mia had a yellow car with a small motor that made soft sounds.
+
+"Look at my car, Mia. It is faster and louder than yours. It can go over anything!" Sam said, as he drove his car over the sofa and the table.
+
+"My car is better, Sam. It is quieter and nicer than yours. It can go under anything!" Mia said, as she drove her car under the chair and the rug.
+
+They kept arguing and driving their cars, until they bumped into each other. Their cars fell to the floor and stopped working. Sam and Mia looked at their cars and felt miserable. They started to cry.
+
+Mom heard them crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw their cars on the floor and picked them up. She checked the motors and found that they had loose wires. She fixed the wires and gave the cars back to Sam and Mia.
+
+"Here you go, sweeties. Your cars are working again. But you have to be careful and not bump into each other. And you have to share and be nice to each other. Your cars are different, but they are both fun and special. Can you do that?" Mom said.
+
+Sam and Mia nodded and hugged Mom. They said sorry to each other and smiled. They decided to play together and not argue. They drove their cars around the living room and made happy noises. Mom watched them and felt proud. She clapped her hands and applauded them. Sam and Mia heard her and clapped their hands too. They felt happy and thanked Mom. They had fun playing with their cars.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and many coins. Ben wanted to make a wish. He took a coin from his pocket and said, "I wish I had a new bike."
+
+He threw the coin into the fountain. Lily watched and said, "I want to make a wish too." She looked for a coin in her pocket, but she had none. She saw a coin on the ground. It was shiny and round. She picked it up and said, "I wish I had a new doll."
+
+She threw the coin into the fountain. But the coin did not splash. It bounced back and hit her on the nose. "Ow!" she cried. "That hurt!"
+
+Ben ran to her and said, "Are you okay, Lily?" He looked at the coin. It was not a real coin. It was a button. Someone had dropped it on the ground. "That's not a coin, Lily. That's a button. You can't make a wish with a button."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to make a wish. She said, "But I don't have a coin, Ben. How can I make a wish?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I have another coin. You can have it. It's a little coin, but it's a real coin. You can make a wish with it."
+
+He gave her the coin and said, "Here you go, Lily. Make a good wish."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." She took the coin and said, "I wish we could always play together."
+
+She threw the coin into the fountain. It splashed and sparkled. Ben and Lily hugged and laughed. They had made their wishes. They hoped they would come true.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make a stack of blocks as high as they want. Sometimes they make a tower, sometimes a bridge, sometimes a house.
+
+One day, they decide to make something original. They look at their blocks and think hard. What can they make that is new and fun? They see a red block, a blue block, a yellow block and a green block. They have an idea.
+
+They put the red block on the floor. Then they put the blue block on top of the red block. Then they put the yellow block on top of the blue block. Then they put the green block on top of the yellow block. They make a rainbow stack of blocks.
+
+They are very happy with their rainbow stack. They show it to their mom and dad. Mom and dad are very proud of them. They say they are very creative and smart. Anna and Ben smile and hug each other. They love to play with blocks and make original things.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They found a big box with many things inside. They wanted to examine the things and see what they were.
+
+They saw some paint in different colors. They liked paint. They wanted to make pictures with the paint. They took some paper and brushes and started to paint.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a sun!" Tom said. He showed his yellow circle to Lily.
+
+"That is a nice sun, Tom. I made a flower!" Lily said. She showed her red and green shape to Tom.
+
+They painted more things. They painted a house, a tree, a cat and a dog. They had fun.
+
+Then they saw a black paint. They did not like black paint. It was dark and scary. They did not want to use it.
+
+"What is this black paint for?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is for something bad." Tom said.
+
+They decided to leave the black paint alone. They put it back in the box. They did not want to make their pictures black. They liked their pictures bright and happy.

+
+Lily and Ben hold hands. They walk to the finish line. They are slow. They are last. But they are happy. They hug. They smile. They thank God. They pray: Thank you, God, for our friendship. Thank you, God, for our race. Thank you, God, for making us unique. We love you, God. Amen.
+Lily and Max were playing with their dog, Spot, in the park. Spot was a big, brown dog with a black spot on his eye. He liked to run and chase balls and sticks.
+
+"Look, Spot, I have a ball!" Lily said, holding up an orange ball. "Do you want to play?"
+
+Spot barked and wagged his tail. He ran to Lily and jumped up to get the ball. But he was too excited and he bit Lily's collar instead. Lily's collar was blue and had flowers on it.
+
+"Ow, Spot, that hurts!" Lily cried, pulling her collar away. "You are a bad dog!"
+
+Spot looked at Lily with his big, brown eyes. He did not understand why she was angry. He did not mean to hurt her. He just wanted the ball. He dropped the ball and gave a small shrug.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said, coming over to hug his sister. "Spot didn't know. He likes your collar. It's pretty."
+
+Lily sniffed and rubbed her neck. She looked at Spot, who was licking his paw. She felt sorry for him too. He was a good dog, most of the time.
+
+"Maybe he does," she said, picking up the ball. "But he can't have it. It's mine."
+
+She threw the ball as far as she could. Spot barked and ran after it. He caught it in his mouth and brought it back to Lily. He dropped it at her feet and wagged his tail.
+
+"Good boy, Spot!" Lily said, smiling. "You are a good dog!"
+
+She patted his head and threw the ball again. Spot chased it happily. Lily and Max laughed and played with him. They all had fun in the park.
+Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going to receive a holiday from their mom and dad. They were going to see snow for the first time. They packed their warm clothes and their toys in a big bag.
+
+They got on a big plane with their mom and dad. The plane flew very high in the sky. Sara and Ben looked out the window and saw the clouds. They played with their toys and ate some snacks. They were very excited.

+
+"Let's share the blocks," Lily says. "You take some and I take some."
+
+But Tom is selfish. He does not want to share. He takes all the blocks and puts them in a pile.
+
+"No, they are mine!" he says. "You can't have any!"
+
+Lily is sad and angry. She tries to take some blocks, but Tom pushes her away.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" she says. "That's not nice!"
+
+Tom does not listen. He starts to build his network, but he does not have fun. He feels lonely and bored.
+
+Lily goes to find another toy. She sees a big teddy bear. She hugs it and smiles.
+
+"Hello, teddy," she says. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The teddy bear does not answer, but Lily does not mind. She pretends that the teddy bear is her friend. She tells it stories and jokes. She has fun.
+
+Tom looks at Lily and the teddy bear. He sees that Lily is happy. He feels sorry and silly.
+
+"Maybe I was wrong," he thinks. "Maybe sharing is better than being selfish."
+
+He picks up some blocks and walks to Lily.
+
+"Lily, I'm sorry," he says. "Can we be friends again? Can we play together?"
+
+Lily looks at Tom. She sees that he is sorry. She forgives him.

+
+Ben said, "Thank you. You are very good at drawing too. Do you want to draw together?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun."
+
+Ben and Lily drew together. They used their crayons and paper to make new pictures. They mixed their colors and shapes. They made a flower car, a robot animal, and a star rocket. They laughed and talked. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend. Ben was not lonely anymore. He had a new friend too. They liked each other very much. They had a lot in common. They were a good match.

+They joined the art club and met other kids who liked to draw. They made more friends and more drawings. They were happy and proud. They thanked each other for being their friend. They said, "You are the best."
+Tom had a big toy lion that he loved very much. He played with it every day and took it to bed with him at night. He liked to make it roar and run and jump with him.
+
+One day, Tom and his lion went to the park with his mom. They had fun on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. Tom saw a big puddle and wanted to splash in it. He ran to the puddle with his lion and jumped in. The water was cold and muddy and wet.
+
+Mom saw Tom and his lion in the puddle and said, "Oh no, Tom, your lion is dirty and wet. You have to take it out of the puddle and dry it. If you don't, it will get sick and rot." Tom did not know what rot meant, but he did not want his lion to get sick. He took it out of the puddle and hugged it.
+
+Mom took Tom and his lion home and put them in the bath. She washed Tom and his lion with soap and water and rinsed them. She said, "There, now you and your lion are clean and fresh. But your lion is still wet. You have to put it in the sun to dry. If you don't, it will get moldy and rot." Tom did not know what moldy meant, but he did not want his lion to rot. He put it in the sun and waited.
+
+Tom waited and waited, but his lion did not dry. It was still wet and soggy and heavy. Tom tried to make it roar and run and jump with him, but it did not. It was silent and still and limp. Tom felt sad and said, "Mom, my lion is broken. It does not play with me anymore. It does not roar or run or jump. It is broken." Mom looked at Tom and his lion and said, "I'm sorry, Tom, your lion is broken. It was too wet for too long and it rotted. It can't play with you anymore. It is broken." Tom cried and said, "I don't want my lion to be broken. I want my lion to be fine. I love my lion." Mom hugged Tom and said, "I know, Tom, I know. I love you."
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were drivers who had to deliver things to different places. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car.
+
+"Beep beep! I have to deliver this yellow box to the zoo!" Sara said, holding a small cardboard box. "It has a surprise inside for the animals!"
+
+"Wow, can I see?" Ben asked, driving his car next to Sara's.
+
+"No, you have to wait until we get there!" Sara said, zooming away. "Follow me!"
+
+They drove their cars around the couch, the table, and the chair, making noises and having fun. They reached the other side of the room, where they had put some stuffed animals.
+
+"Here we are, the zoo!" Sara announced, parking her car. "Let's see what's in the yellow box!"
+
+She opened the box and pulled out a thin book. It had pictures of different animals and their names.
+
+"Look, it's a book about animals!" Sara said, showing it to Ben. "We can read it and learn more about them!"
+
+"Wow, that's a great surprise!" Ben said, smiling. "Can we read it together?"
+
+"Of course!" Sara said, nodding. "Let's sit down and read it!"
+
+They sat down on the floor, next to the stuffed animals, and opened the book. They looked at the pictures and tried to say the names of the animals. They had a lot of fun learning and playing. They were happy they had delivered the yellow box to the zoo.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. But they also liked to look for bugs and worms in the mud. They had a small bucket and a smooth stick to dig with.
+
+"Look, I found a big worm!" Lily said, holding up her stick with a wriggly thing on it. "Do you dare to touch it?"
+
+Tom made a face. He did not like worms. They were slimy and icky. He shook his head. "No, I don't dare. You are brave, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked to be brave. She put the worm in the bucket and looked for more. She saw a shiny beetle crawling in the mud. She reached for it with her stick.
+
+"Watch out, Lily!" Tom shouted. "That beetle can bite!"
+
+Lily gasped. She pulled back her stick. She did not want to be bitten by a beetle. She looked at Tom. He looked scared too.
+
+"Maybe we should play something else," Lily said. "Something safer."
+
+Tom nodded. He agreed. He did not like bugs and worms. He liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the slide. They had fun sliding down the smooth metal. They forgot about the mud and the bugs. They were happy.
+Sara did not like the dark. She was afraid of the ugly things that might hide in it. Every night, she asked her mom to leave the light on in her room. But her mom said she had to learn to sleep in the dark. She said it was good for her eyes and her dreams.
+
+One night, Sara had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big, ugly monster came out of the dark and tried to grab her. She screamed and kicked and tried to resist, but the monster was too strong. She felt its sharp teeth and claws on her skin. She was very scared and sad.
+
+But then, she heard a loud bark. It was her dog, Max. He heard her scream and ran to her room. He jumped on the bed and bit the monster. The monster let go of Sara and ran away. Max licked Sara's face and wagged his tail. He was her hero.

+Sara hugged Max and thanked him. She was not scared anymore. She realized that the dark was not so bad, as long as she had Max with her. She turned off the light and snuggled with Max. She had a good dream. She dreamed that she and Max were playing in the park. She was very happy.

+
+One day, they see a cat in the garden. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. The cat sees the ball and wants to play too. The cat runs after the ball and tries to catch it with its paws.
+
+Ben and Mia think the cat is clever. They let the cat join their game. They take turns throwing the ball to the cat and the cat throws it back with its mouth. The cat is good at catch. Ben and Mia clap and cheer.
+
+They play catch with the cat until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the cat and thank it for playing. The cat purrs and winks. Ben and Mia hope to see the cat again another day. They love to play catch.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a big purple ball that they took with them. One day, they saw a wolf hiding behind a tree. The wolf was hungry and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Look, a wolf!" Lily said. "We have to run!"
+
+"No, we have to fight!" Ben said. "We have the ball, we can throw it at him!"
+
+Lily and Ben began to quarrel. They pulled the ball from each other and shouted. The wolf saw his chance and jumped out of the tree. He ran towards them with his teeth showing.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben cried. They dropped the ball and hugged each other. They were very scared.
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. It was their dog, Spot, who had followed them to the forest. Spot was big and brave. He ran to the wolf and chased him away. The wolf ran as fast as he could and never came back.
+
+"Spot, you saved us!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged their dog and thanked him. They picked up their ball and went back home. They decided to never quarrel again. They learned that it was better to stick together and be nice to each other.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Tim had a big truck and Sam had a small car. One day, they found a giant box in the garage. They thought it would be fun to make a fort with the box.
+
+They cut a door and a window in the box and put some pillows and blankets inside. They pretended they were soldiers defending their fort from enemies. They had a lot of fun until Tim decided he wanted to play with Sam's car.
+
+"Give me your car, Sam. It's faster than my truck," Tim said.
+
+"No, Tim. It's my car. You have your truck. Go away," Sam said.
+
+Tim did not listen to Sam. He tried to grab the car from Sam's hand. Sam held on tight and yelled for help. Tim was stronger than Sam and pulled the car away. He ran to his truck and drove away.
+
+Sam was very sad and angry. He cried and threw his pillow at the door. He wished Tim would be nice to him and share his toys. He ignored Tim when he came back to the fort.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. Can we play together again?" Tim said.
+
+Sam did not answer. He turned his back to Tim and looked out the window. He saw something shiny in the grass. He wondered what it was.
+
+He got out of the fort and walked to the shiny thing. It was a medal with a star on it. It looked very pretty. He picked it up and smiled.
+
+He heard Tim calling him from the fort. He decided to be thoughtful and forgive Tim. He ran back to the fort with the medal.
+
+"Look, Tim. I found a medal. It's for you. You are a brave soldier," Sam said.

+Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to a big tree and hid behind it. She covered her mouth with her hand so Ben could not hear her.
+
+Ben looked around the park. He saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox, but he did not see Lily. He wondered where she was. He walked to the big tree and peeked behind it. He saw Lily's shoes and smiled.
+
+"I found you, Lily!" he shouted. He pulled the tree branch aside and saw Lily's face. But it was not Lily's face. It was a scary face. It had big eyes, a long nose, and sharp teeth. It was a mask.
+
+Lily had found a mask on the ground and put it on to scare Ben. She thought it was funny. She laughed and said, "Boo!"
+
+Ben was not amused. He was scared. He screamed and ran away. He tripped on a rock and fell. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried and cried.
+
+Lily took off the mask and ran after him. She felt bad. She wanted to say sorry. But Ben did not want to talk to her. He was angry and sad. He did not want to play with her anymore. He wanted to go home.
+
+The end.
+Tommy and Lily were going to a party. They wanted to look nice, so they asked Mommy to help them. Mommy gave them each a tie to wear.
+
+"Which tie do you want, Tommy?" Mommy asked. She held up a red tie and a blue tie.
+
+Tommy looked at the ties. He liked both colors, but he liked red more. He pointed to the red tie. "I choose this one," he said.

+Tommy and Lily put on their coats. They felt warm and cozy. They were ready to go to the party.
+
+"Let's go, Mommy," Tommy said.
+
+"Let's go, Mommy," Lily said.
+

+Lily loves horses. She wants to ride a horse one day. She sees a big horse on a farm. She runs to the horse and says hello.
+
+The horse is nice. He lets Lily pet his nose and mane. He makes a soft sound. Lily is excited. She wants to climb on the horse.
+
+She finds a stool and puts it next to the horse. She steps on the stool and reaches for the horse's back. But the stool is wet and slippery. Lily slips and falls off the stool. She lands on the grass.
+
+She is not hurt, but she is sad. She cries. The horse hears her cry and bends his head. He nuzzles her cheek and whinnies. He wants to make her feel better.
+
+Lily stops crying and smiles. She hugs the horse and says thank you. The horse is happy. He likes Lily. He lets her sit on his back and walk with him. Lily is excited. She feels like she is riding a horse. She says, "This is the best day ever!"
+Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big squash growing on a vine. It was yellow and round and looked yummy.
+
+"Let's pick the squash and make soup!" Jenny said.
+
+"No, let's carve the squash and make a face!" Tom said.
+
+They both wanted the squash, but there was only one. They had to choose.
+
+Jenny and Tom looked at the squash and thought hard. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Why don't we share the squash?" Jenny said.
+
+"How?" Tom asked.
+
+"We can cut the squash in half. You can carve your half and make a face. I can cook my half and make soup. Then we can both enjoy the squash!" Jenny said.
+
+Tom liked the idea. He thought it was fair and fun.
+
+"OK, let's do that!" Tom said.
+
+They got a knife and a spoon from the kitchen and went back to the garden. They cut the squash in half and scooped out the seeds.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They look the same and like the same things. They have a big house and many toys. They are rich.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a girl and a boy on the swings. They are twins too, but they look different. They have old clothes and no toys. They are not rich.
+
+Anna and Ben want to play with them. They run to the swings and say hello.
+
+"Hi, we are Anna and Ben. We are twins. Do you want to play with us?" Anna asks.
+

+
+They take turns on the swings and slide. They laugh and have fun. They share their snacks and stories.
+
+They become friends. They learn that being twins is not about looking the same or having the same things. It is about loving each other and having fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. But they did not always agree on how to do it.
+
+"Let me explain, Lily," Ben said. "This block goes here, and this one goes there. Then we have a strong bridge."
+
+"No, Ben," Lily said. "That is not right. This block goes here, and this one goes there. Then we have a pretty bridge."
+
+They both tried to move the blocks their way. The bridge fell down. They both looked sad.
+
+"Let's try again," Ben said. He was persistent. He wanted to make a good bridge.
+
+"OK," Lily said. She was persistent too. She wanted to make a beautiful bridge.
+
+They started to build again. But they still did not agree. They argued and pushed and pulled. The bridge fell down again. They both looked angry.
+
+"Stop it, Ben!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Stop it, Lily!" Ben shouted.
+
+They heard a voice. It was their mom.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked. She looked worried.
+
+"Lily and Ben, you need to share and cooperate. You can both have ideas and listen to each other. Then you can make a wonderful bridge together."
+
+She picked up some blocks and showed them how to do it. She put some blocks the way Ben liked, and some blocks the way Lily liked. She made a bridge that was strong and pretty.
+
+"See?" Mom said. "You can both be happy if you work together."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the bridge. They looked at each other. They looked at Mom. They smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," they said.
+
+They hugged Mom. Then they hugged each other. They played with the bridge. They had fun. They were friends.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a fake cow. It was soft and brown and white, and it made a moo sound when she squeezed it. She named it Moo-Moo.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to make Moo-Moo more pretty. She found a marker in her drawer and decided to draw on Moo-Moo. She made pink spots, blue stripes, and purple stars on Moo-Moo's fur. She thought Moo-Moo looked very nice.
+
+But when Mom saw what Lily did, she was not happy. She said, "Lily, why did you mark on your fake cow? You ruined it! Markers are not for toys, they are for paper. You have to be careful with your things."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not mean to ruin Moo-Moo. She just wanted to have fun. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love Moo-Moo. I wanted to make him more pretty. Can you fix him?"
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "I don't think I can fix him, Lily. The marker is hard to wash off. But I still love you, and I know you love Moo-Moo. Maybe we can find another way to make him more pretty. How about we put a ribbon on his neck, or a hat on his head?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good. Thank you, Mom. I will be more careful next time." She hugged Mom and Moo-Moo. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that markers are not for toys, and that some things are better left as they are.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread, and taste the cheese. But she did not like onions. Onions made her eyes water and her nose run. They smelled bad and tasted worse.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to peel an onion for the salad. Lily did not want to do it. She said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't like onions. Can I do something else?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Lily, you have to try new things. Onions are good for you. They make the salad crunchy and sweet. And look, this onion is purple. Purple is your favorite color, right?"
+
+Lily looked at the onion. It was purple, but not a nice purple. It was a dark and dull purple, like a bruise. She did not think it was pretty. She did not think it was sweet. She said, "No, mom. I don't like purple onions. They are ugly and yucky. Can I play with my doll instead?"
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Okay, Lily. You can play with your doll. But you have to eat some salad later. And don't ignore the onion. It might surprise you."
+
+Lily ran to her room with her doll. She was happy to leave the onion behind. She did not care about the salad. She did not want to be surprised.
+
+But later, when it was time for dinner, Lily had a surprise. Her mom had made a special salad for her. It had lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese, and... purple onion. Her mom had cut the onion into small pieces and mixed it with the other ingredients. She had also made a dressing with honey and lemon. She said, "Lily, this is your salad. I hope you like it. It has a lot of flavor and color. And it has purple onion. Just a little bit. You won't even notice it."
+
+Lily looked at her plate. She saw the purple onion. She did not like it. She wanted to ignore it. But she also saw her mom's face. Her mom looked hopeful and proud. She had made the salad for her. She wanted her to try it. Lily felt bad. She did not want to hurt her mom's feelings. She decided to be brave. She took a small bite of the salad. She tasted the onion. It was not as bad as she thought. It was crunchy and sweet. It went well with the honey and lemon. It made the salad better. Lily smiled. She said, "Mom, this is a good salad. Thank you for making it. I like the purple onion. Just a little bit. You were right. It surprised me."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But their favorite thing was the tunnel. The tunnel was big and dark and fun. They liked to crawl inside and pretend they were in a cave or a spaceship.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He came to the tunnel and said, "This is my tunnel now. You can't play here. Go away!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They wanted to play in the tunnel, but they didn't want to fight. They looked at each other and whispered, "What should we do?"
+
+Lily had an idea. She said, "Let's wait until he goes inside the tunnel. Then we can block the entrance with some sticks and leaves. He will be trapped and we can play somewhere else."
+
+Ben nodded. He thought Lily was smart and reliable. He always trusted her. They waited until the new boy crawled into the tunnel. Then they ran to the entrance and piled up some sticks and leaves. They heard the new boy shout, "Hey, what are you doing? Let me out!"
+
+Ben and Lily giggled and ran away. They found a new slide and had fun. They forgot about the new boy and the tunnel.
+
+But the new boy was not happy. He was stuck in the tunnel and it was cold and dark. He tried to push the sticks and leaves, but they were too heavy. He started to shiver and cry. He wished he had not been mean to Ben and Lily. He wished he had a friend to play with. He wished he could get out of the tunnel.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many plants and flowers there. Some plants smelled good and some did not. Lila and Tom wanted to build something with the plants.
+
+They picked some plants that smelled good. They were herbs. They had names like mint, rosemary, and basil. Lila and Tom put the herbs in a pile. They used sticks and stones to make a shape. They made a house with the herbs.
+
+"Look at our herb house!" Lila said. "It is very impressive. We can pretend to live there."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the herb house too. He smelled the mint and smiled. "It is very nice. We can make tea with the mint."
+
+They went inside the herb house. They pretended to cook and eat with the herbs. They had fun. They were happy. They liked to build with the herbs.
+Lily was a thin girl who liked to keep things. She had a big box full of toys, books, and clothes that she never gave away. She wanted to keep them all, even if she did not play with them or wear them.
+
+One day, it was Lily's birthday. Her mom and dad gave her a big cake with candles and a new doll. Lily was very happy and thanked them. She blew out the candles and made a wish. She wished to keep the doll forever.
+
+"Can I put the doll in my box?" Lily asked her mom.
+
+"No, sweetie, the box is too full. You have to make some room for the doll. Why don't you give some of your old things to your friends or to the charity shop? They would be very happy to have them," her mom said.
+
+"But I want to keep them all!" Lily said. She did not want to share her things with anyone.
+
+"Lily, you have to learn to let go of some things. You can't keep everything. If you keep too much, you won't have space for new things or new experiences. And you won't make anyone else happy either. Think about how you would feel if you had nothing to play with or wear. Wouldn't you like someone to give you something nice?" her mom said.
+
+Lily thought about it. She remembered how happy she was when she got the doll. She imagined how sad she would be if she had nothing. She realized that her mom was right. She decided to give some of her things to her friends and to the charity shop. She picked out the toys, books, and clothes that she did not use anymore and put them in a bag.
+
+"Mom, I'm ready to give these away. Can we go now?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, honey. I'm very proud of you. You are a very generous and kind girl," her mom said. She hugged Lily and took the bag.
+
+Lily felt good. She still had her box, but it was not so full. She had space for her new doll and for other new things. She also had space in her heart for new friends and new adventures. She learned that sometimes it is better to give than to keep.
+Sara loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes books with pictures and stories. She reads every day before bed.
+
+One day, Sara sees a new book on the shelf. It is a book about spring. Spring is when the flowers grow and the birds sing. Sara wants to read the book. She takes it to her mom.
+
+"Mom, can you read this book to me?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, Sara. This is a book about spring. Do you like spring?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, I like spring. Spring is pretty and fun. I am glad spring is coming soon." Sara says.
+
+Mom and Sara sit on the couch. Mom opens the book and reads to Sara. Sara looks at the pictures and listens to the words. She learns about the animals and plants in spring. She sees a butterfly, a bunny, a daisy, and a rainbow. She smiles and hugs the book.
+
+"I love this book, Mom. Thank you for reading to me." Sara says.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara. I love you. And I love spring, too." Mom says.
+
+They kiss and cuddle. Sara feels happy and warm. She likes to read books with Mom. She likes to read books about spring.
+Lily and Tom were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the zoo to see the animals. Lily was very excited. She liked the lions and the monkeys. Tom liked the elephants and the giraffes.
+
+On the way, they saw a big sign with a picture of a clown. The sign said: "Come to the circus! Fun for everyone!" Lily pointed at the sign and said: "Mom, Dad, can we go to the circus? Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom and Dad looked at each other. They knew Lily loved the circus, but they had already bought the tickets for the zoo. They said: "Sorry, Lily, we can't go to the circus today. We are going to the zoo, remember? Maybe another day, okay?"
+
+Lily was not happy. She crossed her arms and pouted. She said: "No, I want to go to the circus now! I demand to go to the circus now!" She started to cry and kick the seat.
+
+Tom rolled his eyes. He thought Lily was being crazy. He said: "Lily, stop it. You are being silly. The zoo is fun too. You can see the animals and feed them. The circus will be here for a long time. You can go another day."
+
+Lily did not listen. She kept crying and demanding. Mom and Dad tried to calm her down, but she would not stop. They felt very tired and annoyed. They wished Lily would be more like Tom. They wondered if they should turn around and go home.
+Ben loves to play with his trains. He has many trains and a big track that goes around his room. He likes to make the trains go fast and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Ben has a friend over to play. His friend is Sam. Sam likes trains too, but he wants to play with a different train than Ben. Ben does not want to share his trains. He says, "No, this is my train. You can have that one." He points to a small train that is not as fun.
+
+Sam is sad. He says, "But I like this train. It has a shiny engine and a whistle. Can we take turns?" Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, this is my train. You can't touch it." He grabs the train and holds it tight.
+
+Sam is angry. He says, "That's not fair. You have so many trains. You are being mean." He pushes Ben and tries to take the train. Ben pushes him back and yells, "Stop it! Go away!"
+
+They start to fight over the train. They pull and tug and shout. They knock over the track and the other trains. They make a big mess.
+
+Ben's mom hears the noise. She comes into the room and sees the boys fighting. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to share and play nicely."
+
+Ben and Sam stop fighting. They look at Ben's mom. They look at the mess. They feel embarrassed. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Sam."
+
+Ben's mom says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you need to learn to share and be kind. How would you feel if someone took your train and did not let you play?"
+
+Ben and Sam think. They feel bad. They say, "We would feel sad and angry. We don't want to make each other feel that way."
+
+Ben's mom says, "That's right. Sharing is caring. Why don't you pick a train each and play together? You can take turns and have more fun."
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They say, "Okay, mom. Okay, Ben. Okay, Sam." They pick a train each and play together. They fix the track and the other trains. They make the trains go fast and make loud noises. They smile and laugh. They are friends again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a swamp near their house. It was wet and muddy and full of frogs and bugs. Lily wanted to catch a frog, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. She jumped from one log to another, trying to reach a frog. "Ribbit, ribbit!" the frog said, and hopped away.
+
+"No, Lily, it's yucky!" Ben said. He stayed on the shore, holding a stick. "What if you fall in? What if there are snakes?"
+
+Lily laughed. She was not afraid of snakes. She saw a big frog sitting on a lily pad. She reached out her hand slowly, trying to be patient. She almost touched the frog, when suddenly it splashed into the water.
+
+"Ha ha, you missed!" Ben said. He waved his stick at the water. "Go away, frogs!"
+
+Lily was angry. She glared at Ben. "You scared it away! You are mean!"
+
+She threw a handful of mud at him. Ben dodged, but some of the mud hit his face. He felt wet and dirty. He threw some mud back at Lily. Lily ducked, but some of the mud hit her hair. She felt sticky and gross.
+
+They started to throw more mud at each other, shouting and laughing. They forgot about the frogs and the snakes. They had a mud fight in the swamp. They were having fun.
+Anna was an adventurous girl who liked to observe everything. She always wanted to know what was inside things and how they worked. One day, she found a big box in the garage. It was open, but she could not see what was inside. She was curious and excited.
+
+"Mommy, can I look in the box?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful. It's daddy's old stuff. He said he will throw it away soon," Mommy said.
+
+Anna nodded and ran to the box. She climbed on a chair and peeked inside. She saw many things that she did not know. There were books, papers, toys, tools, and a shiny metal thing. She reached for the metal thing. It looked like a circle with a handle.
+
+"What is this?" she wondered.
+
+She pulled the handle and heard a loud click. Suddenly, the metal thing opened and a bright light came out. Anna was surprised and scared. She dropped the metal thing and fell off the chair. She heard a loud bang and saw smoke and sparks.
+
+"Anna, what happened?" Mommy shouted. She ran to the garage and saw the mess. She saw the metal thing on the floor. It was a flashlight, but it was broken and burned.
+
+"Mommy, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what it was. It was open and it made a light," Anna said. She was crying and shaking.
+
+Mommy hugged her and checked if she was hurt. She was not, but she was very scared.
+
+"It's okay, honey. You're not in trouble. But you have to be more careful. Sometimes, things that are open are not safe. You have to ask before you touch them. And sometimes, things that make light are not toys. They can be dangerous. Do you understand?" Mommy said.
+
+Anna nodded and sniffed. She learned a lesson. She still liked to be adventurous and observe, but she also learned to be more cautious and respectful. She never touched daddy's old stuff again.
+Tom and Sue are friends who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals and help their parents with the work. One day, they see a big truck coming to the farm. It is full of wheat, the yellow seeds that make bread and cake.
+
+"Wow, look at all the wheat!" Tom says. "We can make so many things with it!"
+
+"Yes, but we also need to share it with others," Sue says. "Some people don't have enough food, and they are hungry and sad."
+
+Tom and Sue are modest, they don't want to be greedy or selfish. They ask their parents if they can give some wheat to the people who need it. Their parents are proud of them and say yes. They help them put some wheat in bags and load them on another truck.
+
+The next day, the truck takes the wheat to a town where there is a school for poor children. Tom and Sue go with their parents to see the children. They are happy to see their smiles and hear their thanks. They also make some new friends and play with them.
+
+Tom and Sue learn that giving is better than taking, and that wheat is not only good for food, but also for friendship. They are glad they have a farm, and they are glad they have a heart.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms or beetles or spiders. They put them in a jar and watched them.
+
+One day, they dug a very big hole. They wanted to see how deep it was. They took turns to put their heads inside and shout. They heard their voices echo.
+
+"Hello!" Mia shouted.
+
+"Hello!" the hole shouted back.
+
+Suddenly, they saw something move in the hole. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It had pointy ears and a sharp nose. It looked at them with bright eyes.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a fox!" Mia said.
+
+The fox jumped out of the hole and ran away. It was very fast and clever. It did not want to play with Tom and Mia.
+
+"Wow! A fox!" Tom said. "That was a mysterious hole!"
+
+"Yes, it was!" Mia said. "Maybe it had a secret home inside. Maybe there are more foxes there."
+
+They decided to fill the hole with dirt. They did not want to disturb the foxes. They hoped they would see them again someday. They went back to their jar and looked at their bugs. They wondered what other animals lived in the garden.
+Lily liked to grow sunflowers in her garden. She watered them every day and talked to them. She was happy when they grew tall and yellow.
+
+One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Max. He saw Lily's sunflowers and wanted to play with them. He climbed over the fence and picked one. He broke its stem and threw it on the ground.
+
+Lily saw what he did and ran to her sunflower. She was sad and angry. She said to Max, "Why did you do that? That was my sunflower. You hurt it and made it die."
+
+Max did not care. He said, "So what? It's just a flower. It's not a toy. It's boring and ugly. I like cars and trucks. They are fun and cool."
+
+He ignored Lily and went to his yard. He played with his cars and trucks. He made loud noises and kicked dirt.
+
+Lily cried and hugged her sunflower. She said, "I'm sorry, sunflower. You are not boring and ugly. You are beautiful and bright. You make me happy and smile. I love you."
+
+She buried her sunflower in the garden and planted a new seed. She hoped it would grow into a new sunflower.
+
+The next day, it rained. It rained and rained and rained. The sky was gray and the ground was wet. Lily stayed inside and read a book. She looked out the window and saw her garden. She saw a tiny green sprout where she planted her new seed. She smiled and said, "Hello, sunflower. I can't wait to see you grow."

+She also saw Max's yard. She saw his cars and trucks. They were muddy and rusty. They did not work. They did not make noises. They looked sad and old.
+
+Max looked out his window and saw his cars and trucks. He was sad and bored. He said, "Why did this happen? My cars and trucks are ruined. They are not fun and cool. They are useless and dirty. I hate them."
+
+He also saw Lily's garden. He saw her tiny green sprout. He saw her smile and talk to it. He saw her happy and hopeful. He said, "What is that? Is that a sunflower? It looks nice and alive. It looks like it will grow and shine. I wonder how it feels."
+
+He felt sorry for what he did. He wished he did not hurt Lily's sunflower. He wished he did not ignore Lily. He wished he could be her friend.
+
+He put on his coat and boots. He climbed over the fence and knocked on Lily's door. He said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry for what I did. I was mean and stupid. Can I say sorry to your sunflower? Can I help you grow it? Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "Hi, Max. Thank you for saying sorry. You can say sorry to my sunflower. You can help me grow it. You can play with me."
+
+They went to the garden and said sorry to the sunflower. They watered it and talked to it. They played together and had fun. They became friends.

+Sara was very scared. Today was the day of the big test at school. She did not like tests. They made her feel dumb and sad. She wished she could stay at home with her aunt.
+
+Her aunt was very nice. She always played with Sara and read her stories. She gave her hugs and kisses and cookies. She did not yell at Sara or make her do hard things. She understood Sara and loved her.
+
+But Sara had to go to school. Her mom said so. Her mom was very harsh. She always wanted Sara to do well on tests. She said tests were important for Sara's future.

+
+"Okay, Sara. You can call your aunt. But you have to try the test first. Can you do that for me?" the teacher said.

+
+"Oh, Sara. I'm sorry you're scared. But you don't have to worry. The test is not as important as you think. You are smart and brave and wonderful. You can do anything you want. You don't have to be like your mom. You can be yourself. And I'm always here for you. No matter what." Sara's aunt said.
+
+"Really?" Sara said.
+
+"Really. You are my special girl. And I'm very proud of you. Just do your best. And then come home. I have a surprise for you." Sara's aunt said.
+
+"What is it?" Sara said.
+
+"It's a secret. But I think you'll like it. It's something fun and sweet. Can you guess?" Sara's aunt said.
+
+"Is it a cake?" Sara said.
+
+"Maybe. You'll have to wait and see. Now, give the phone back to your teacher. And finish your test. And remember, I love you." Sara's aunt said.
+

+Tom and Lily wanted to play with the kayak. It was big and red and shiny. It was in the lake near their house. But their mom said no. She said the kayak was not theirs.

+
+They waited until their mom was busy. Then they ran to the lake. They saw the kayak on the shore. They got in and pushed it into the water. They laughed and splashed and paddled. They did not see the big sign that said "Danger. Deep water. No swimming."

+"They make them to celebrate, Lily. To celebrate something special, like a birthday, or a holiday, or a new year," dad said.

+"Hello, kids," the man said. "Are you hungry?"
+
+"Yes, we are," Anna said. "Do you have pizza for us?"
+
+The man smiled. He opened the box. Inside was a big, hot, cheesy pizza.
+
+"Sorry, kids," he said. "This pizza is not for you. It's for your neighbor. He ordered it online."
+
+Anna and Ben felt very sad. They saw the man walk to the next house. He rang the bell. Their neighbor opened the door. He looked very happy. He took the pizza and thanked the man.
+
+Anna and Ben watched him close the door. They smelled the pizza. They imagined how it would taste. They felt very miserable.
+
+They went back to their mom. She was stirring the soup. She saw their faces.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" she asked.
+
+"We saw a pizza truck," Ben said. "But the pizza was not for us. It was for the neighbor. He ordered it online."
+
+"Oh, I'm sorry, kids," she said. "That's too bad. But you know what? I have a surprise for you. I made something special for dessert. Do you want to see?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They followed their mom to the fridge. She opened it and took out a big cake. It had chocolate and cream and sprinkles on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "Is that for us?"
+
+"Yes, it is," their mom said. "I made it for you because you are such good kids. And because I love you very much."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged their mom. They felt very happy. They forgot about the pizza. They couldn't wait to taste the cake. They knew it would be delicious. They thanked their mom and said they loved her too.
+
+They sat down at the table. They ate the soup. It was warm and good. They ate the cake. It was sweet and yummy. They enjoyed the view of the stars outside. They smiled and laughed. They had a wonderful dinner.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide, and run. But their favorite thing was to dig in the sand. They wanted to find something underground.
+
+One day, they brought a big spoon and a bucket. They dug and dug until they made a big hole. They looked inside and saw something shiny. "What is that?" Tom asked. "Let's find out!" Lily said. They pulled out the shiny thing. It was a coin.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. "Maybe it's magic!" Tom said. They looked at the coin. It had a picture of a man and some words. They could not read the words. They wondered what they meant.
+
+"Maybe we can taste it and find out," Tom said. He was playful and curious. He put the coin in his mouth. "Yuck!" he said. "It tastes bad!" He spit out the coin. Lily laughed. She was playful and silly. She picked up the coin and pretended to eat it. "Mmm, it tastes good!" she said. She made a funny face.
+
+They laughed and played with the coin. They did not know that the coin was very old and rare. They did not know that it was worth a lot of money. They did not know that someone was watching them from behind a tree. He was not playful. He was greedy and mean. He wanted the coin for himself. He waited for the right moment to take it. He did not know that Tom and Lily had a big surprise for him.
+Tim loved baseball. He had a baseball and a bat. He liked to hit the ball and run. He wanted to play with other kids, but he was shy. He did not talk to them.
+
+One day, he saw some kids playing baseball in the park. They looked happy and fun. Tim wanted to join them, but he was scared. He thought they would not like him. He stayed distant and watched.
+
+A girl saw Tim and smiled. She walked to him and said, "Hi, I am Sue. Do you like baseball?" Tim nodded. Sue said, "Do you want to play with us? We need one more player." Tim felt nervous, but he also felt happy. He said, "Yes, please."
+
+Sue took Tim to the other kids and introduced him. They welcomed him and gave him a glove. Tim played with them and had a lot of fun. He hit the ball and ran. He caught the ball and threw. He made friends and laughed.
+
+Tim learned that he could spend his time with other kids and enjoy baseball. He learned that he did not have to be shy and distant. He learned that he could be brave and friendly. He was glad that Sue was kind and invited him. He was glad that he said yes. He was happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and a shiny beetle. They put them in a jar and gave them some leaves.
+
+"Look, Lila, what is that?" Ben pointed to a long, thin thing in the grass. It was brown and black and had a forked tongue.
+
+"It is a snake, Ben. It is not a bug. It is bad. It can bite you and make you sick." Lila said. She had seen a snake before and her mom had told her to stay away from them.
+
+"But it is pretty, Lila. It has patterns on its skin. Maybe it is friendly. Maybe it wants to play with us." Ben said. He was curious and brave. He moved closer to the snake.
+
+"No, Ben, don't! It is deaf. It cannot hear you. It only sees you and smells you. It thinks you are food. It will hurt you. Come back!" Lila shouted. She was scared and smart. She knew the snake was dangerous.
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lila. He reached out his hand to touch the snake. The snake saw Ben and felt his warmth. It was hungry and angry. It rose up and opened its mouth. It showed its sharp teeth and hissed. It bit Ben on his arm. Ben screamed and fell down. He felt a lot of pain and fear.
+
+Lila ran to Ben and saw the blood on his arm. She cried and called for help. Her mom heard her and came to the garden. She saw the snake and the bite. She was shocked and worried. She picked up Ben and took him to the car. She drove him to the hospital. She hoped he would be okay.
+
+The snake slithered away and hid under a rock. It was full and happy. It did not care about Ben and Lila. It only cared about itself.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not touch things that you do not know. Listen to your friends who know better. Stay away from things that can hurt you.
+Lily loved to imagine. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, or anything else she could think of. Sometimes she imagined with her toys, sometimes with her friends, and sometimes with her big brother Tom.
+
+One day, Tom was playing his guitar in his room. He was in a band with his friends, and they liked to make loud music. Lily knocked on his door and asked, "Can I play with you?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Sure, why not? Do you want to be in my band?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please! What can I do?"
+
+Tom looked around and saw a plastic bucket, a wooden spoon, and a toy microphone. He gave them to Lily and said, "You can be the drummer and the singer. I'll be the guitarist. Let's make some music!"
+
+Lily was very happy. She put the bucket upside down, held the spoon like a drumstick, and held the microphone to her mouth. She started to bang on the bucket and sing along with Tom's guitar. She imagined she was on a big stage, with lights and fans and applause. She felt like a star.
+
+They played and sang for a long time, until their mom called them for lunch. They put down their instruments and ran to the kitchen. Mom had made their favorite sandwiches, with cheese and ham and lettuce. They smelled delicious.
+
+"Wow, you two sound great!" Mom said. "Did you have fun?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, we did! We were in a band!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful. I'm glad you used your imagination. Now, enjoy your lunch. It's delicious, too!"
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big fire in a house. Smoke and ash came out of the fire. Tim and Mia were scared.
+
+"Let's go away from the fire," Tim said. "It is hot and bad."
+
+"Yes, let's go," Mia said. "But what about the people in the house?"
+
+Tim and Mia saw a man and a woman run out of the house. They were holding a baby and a dog. They looked sad and hurt.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tim asked the man.
+
+"No, we are not okay," the man said. "The fire burned our house and our things. We have nothing left."
+
+Tim and Mia felt sorry for the man and the woman. They wanted to help them.
+
+"I have an idea," Mia said. "We can give them some of our toys. They can make them happy."
+
+"That is a thoughtful idea," Tim said. "But how can we give them our toys? We left them at home."
+
+Mia looked around. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up. She used the stick to draw a picture on the ash. She drew a house, a sun, a flower and a heart.
+
+"Look, I made a picture for you," Mia said to the woman. "It is a happy picture. I hope you like it."
+
+The woman smiled. She hugged Mia. She thanked her for the picture.
+
+"That is a very nice picture," the woman said. "You are a very kind and thoughtful girl. Thank you for making us feel better."
+
+Tim saw a rock on the ground. He picked it up. He used the rock to make a sharp edge. He cut a piece of cloth from his shirt. He wrapped the cloth around the dog's paw. The dog had a cut from the fire.
+
+"Look, I made a bandage for you," Tim said to the dog. "It is a soft bandage. I hope it helps you heal."
+
+The dog licked Tim's face. He wagged his tail. He thanked him for the bandage.
+
+"That is a very good bandage," the man said. "You are a very brave and thoughtful boy. Thank you for taking care of our dog."
+
+Tim and Mia smiled. They were happy to help the man and the woman. They were happy to make new friends. They learned that being thoughtful is a good thing.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They live in a big house with their mom and dad. They like to play in the garden, where there are many flowers and trees. Sometimes they see birds and bugs and other animals.
+
+One day, they find a small box under a bush. They open the box and see a tiny kitten. The kitten is black and white and has blue eyes. It looks scared and hungry. Tom and Lily feel sorry for the kitten. They want to help it.
+
+"Let's take it home and give it some food and water," Lily says. "Maybe mom and dad will let us keep it."
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Tom says. "There are big dogs in the street. They might hurt the kitten. We have to protect it."
+
+Tom and Lily take the box and walk to their house. They look around and see no dogs. They are happy. They run to the door and knock. Mom opens the door and sees them.
+
+"What do you have there?" mom asks.
+
+"A kitten, mom. A kitten. We found it in the garden. It was in a box. It was dark and cold. Can we keep it, mom? Please?" Tom and Lily say together.
+
+Mom looks at the kitten. It is cute and fluffy. It meows softly. Mom smiles.
+
+"Well, I guess we can. But you have to take good care of it. You have to feed it and clean it and play with it. And you have to give it a name. What will you call it?"
+
+Tom and Lily think for a moment. Then they say:
+
+"Spot. We will call it Spot. Because it has a black spot on its nose."
+
+Mom nods.
+
+"Spot is a good name. Come on, let's go inside and find some food for Spot. And a warm place to sleep."
+
+Tom and Lily hug mom and thank her. They follow her inside with the box. They are happy. They have a new friend. They will protect Spot and love Spot. And Spot will love them too.
+Tim liked to create things with his crayons. He had many colors to choose from. He could draw animals, cars, houses, or anything he wanted. He was very good at creating.
+
+One day, he wanted to create a picture of his dad. His dad was a firefighter. He was very tough and brave. He wore a red hat, a yellow coat, and big boots. He drove a big truck with a loud siren. He helped people when there was a fire.
+
+Tim took his crayons and a big paper. He started to create his picture. He used red for the hat, yellow for the coat, black for the boots, and blue for the truck. He drew a big smile on his dad's face. He was very proud of his picture.
+
+He showed his picture to his mom. She smiled and hugged him. She said it was a beautiful picture. She said his dad would love it. She said Tim was very creative.
+
+Tim was happy. He wanted to create more pictures. He asked his mom for more paper and crayons. He had many ideas in his head. He loved to create.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They pretended to be sailors and made their boats go fast and slow, left and right, and splash and sink. Sara had a big red boat that she liked very much. Ben had a small blue boat that he liked very much too.
+
+But then Ben saw Sara's boat and he wanted it. He thought it was bigger and better than his boat. He felt jealous of Sara. He said to Sara, "Give me your boat. It is mine now."
+
+Sara was surprised and angry. She said to Ben, "No, it is not yours. It is mine. I got it for my birthday. You have your own boat. Go away."
+
+Ben did not go away. He tried to grab Sara's boat from her hands. Sara held on tight and pulled back. They both shouted and tugged at the boat. They made a lot of noise and water.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the bathroom. She saw them fighting over the boat. She was not happy. She said to them, "Stop it, both of you. You are not being nice to each other. You are not sharing. You are making a mess. You need to settle down and play nicely."
+
+She took the boat from them and put it on the shelf. She said to them, "You can have the boat back when you say sorry and hug each other. Until then, you can play with these rubber ducks."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged each other. They took the rubber ducks and played with them in the bathtub. They pretended to be sailors again and made their ducks go fast and slow, left and right, and splash and sink. They had fun and forgot about the boat. They were happy.
+Lily loved flowers. She liked to look at them, smell them, and touch them. She had a garden with many flowers. She watered them every day and sang to them.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower in her garden. It was red and yellow and had many petals. It looked like a star. Lily was very happy. She ran to the flower and said, "Hello, flower! You are so pretty! What is your name?"
+
+The flower smiled and said, "Hello, Lily! I am a poppy. I am a flower that blooms in the summer. I am happy to meet you."
+
+Lily was surprised. She did not know that flowers could talk. She asked, "How can you talk, poppy? Do all flowers talk?"
+
+The poppy said, "No, not all flowers talk. Only some flowers can talk, and only to children who love them. You are a special child, Lily. You have a kind heart and a curious mind. That is why I can talk to you."
+
+Lily felt very special. She said, "Thank you, poppy. You are a special flower, too. You are so bright and beautiful. Do you know why you are red and yellow?"
+
+The poppy said, "Yes, I do. I am red and yellow because I am a soldier flower. I am a flower that remembers the brave soldiers who fought for peace and freedom. They wore red and yellow poppies on their chests. They loved poppies, and poppies loved them. That is why I bloom in the summer, to honor them and their courage."
+
+Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, poppy. You are a very important flower. You have a big story. I respect you and the soldiers. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The poppy said, "Of course, Lily. You can be my friend. You are a very enthusiastic and kind child. You make me happy. Can I be your friend, too?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, poppy. You can be my friend, too. You make me happy, too. Let's be friends forever."
+
+The poppy and Lily hugged and smiled. They became the best of friends. They talked and played and learned from each other. They made the garden a happier place. They bloomed together.
+Lily and Max liked to play baseball in the park. They had a big ball and a small bat. They took turns to hit the ball and run. One day, they saw a new store near the park. It had many toys and games in the window. Lily and Max wanted to go inside and look.
+
+"Can we go to the store, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe later, sweetie. Let's play some more baseball first," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max nodded and went back to the park. They played for a long time. They had fun. But they also looked at the store. They wondered what was inside.
+
+Soon, it was time to go home. Mom said they could go to the store for a few minutes. Lily and Max were happy. They ran to the store and opened the door. They saw many things they liked. They saw dolls and cars and books and puzzles. They saw a big shelf with balls and bats and gloves. They saw a sign that said "Baseball Sale".
+
+"Wow, look at all the baseball stuff!" Max said.
+
+"Let's go see!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the shelf. They saw many different balls and bats and gloves. They saw some that were big and some that were small. They saw some that were red and some that were blue. They saw one that was unknown. It was a ball that was black and white and had many stars on it. It looked very special.
+
+"Look at this ball, Lily!" Max said. "It's so cool! Can we have it, Mom?"
+
+Mom came over and looked at the ball. She smiled. She knew what it was. It was a ball that she had when she was a kid. It was a ball that her dad gave her. It was a ball that had a secret.
+
+"Sure, you can have it, Max," Mom said. "But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will always take good care of it. And you have to promise me that you will never throw it too hard. Because this ball is not like other balls. This ball can do something amazing."
+
+"What can it do, Mom?" Lily and Max asked.
+
+Mom winked. She said, "You'll see. But you have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll go to the park and play with it. And then you'll see what this ball can do."
+
+Lily and Max were curious. They wanted to know what the ball could do. They thanked Mom and took the ball. They went home and put it in a safe place. They waited for tomorrow. They dreamed of the ball and the park and the unknown.
+Anna loved to bake with her mom. They would mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. Then they would roll out the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Anna liked to make stars, hearts and flowers. Mom liked to make circles and squares.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to bake with her toy. She had an adorable teddy bear that she named Coco. She pretended that Coco was her helper. She gave him a small bowl, a spoon and some pretend ingredients. She said, "Coco, can you help me make cookies? We need to mix and roll and cut."
+
+Coco nodded and smiled. He tried to do what Anna did, but he was not very good at it. He spilled the pretend flour, he broke the spoon and he squished the dough. Anna laughed and said, "Coco, you are so silly! You need to be careful and gentle. Here, let me show you."
+
+Anna took Coco's hand and helped him mix and roll and cut. She showed him how to make nice shapes and how to put them on a baking tray. She said, "Now we need to put them in the oven. But we have to be very careful, because the oven is hot. We need to use oven mitts and ask mom for help."
+
+Anna and Coco put on oven mitts and carried the tray to the kitchen. Mom was there, baking her own cookies. She saw Anna and Coco and smiled. She said, "Wow, you two are such good bakers! Your cookies look delicious. Can I help you put them in the oven?"
+
+Anna and Coco nodded and said, "Yes, please!" Mom opened the oven and slid the tray inside. She set the timer and said, "Now we have to wait for a few minutes. Then we can take them out and eat them. Do you want some milk?"
+
+Anna and Coco said, "Yes, please!" Mom poured them some milk and gave them each a glass. They sat at the table and waited for the cookies to be ready. They talked about their shapes and their colors and their flavors. They were very happy and proud of their baking. They hugged each other and said, "We love you, mom. We love you, Coco. We love baking together."

+
+Leo nodded. He liked prunes too. They climbed the tree and picked some prunes. They ate them and smiled. They were delicious. Mia said, "Thank you, tree, for the prunes. You are very kind." She gave the tree a hug.
+
+Leo said, "Yes, thank you, tree. You are very nice." He gave the tree a hug too. The tree was happy. It shook its branches and dropped more prunes. Mia and Leo laughed. They picked up the prunes and put them in a basket. They said, "We will share these with our families. They will like them too."
+
+They climbed down the tree and ran to the park bench. They saw a little dog sitting there. It was brown and fluffy. It had big ears and a wagging tail. It looked at them with friendly eyes. Mia said, "Oh, Leo, look at the dog. It is adorable. Can we pet it?"
+
+Leo said, "Yes, Mia, let's pet it. Maybe it is lost. Maybe it needs a friend." They walked to the dog and said, "Hello, dog. What is your name? Do you have a home?" The dog barked and licked their faces. It was happy to see them. Mia and Leo petted the dog and gave it a prune. The dog ate the prune and wagged its tail more.
+
+Mia said, "I think the dog likes us. And we like the dog. Can we hug it?" Leo said, "Yes, Mia, let's hug it. It is very soft and warm." They hugged the dog and the dog hugged them back.

+Lily wanted to make a cake for her mom's birthday. She asked her dad to help her prepare the ingredients. They got some eggs, flour, sugar, butter and milk from the fridge and the cupboard.
+
+"Can I use the mixer, dad?" Lily asked. She liked the mixer because it made a funny noise and spun very fast.
+
+"Sure, but be careful, okay?" her dad said. He plugged in the mixer and gave it to Lily. She held it with both hands and pressed the button. The mixer whirred and mixed the eggs and sugar in a big bowl.
+
+Lily was having fun, but she did not notice that the milk she poured in was spoiled. It smelled bad and made the batter look lumpy and green.
+
+"Yuck, what is that?" her dad said, when he saw the bowl. He sniffed the milk and made a face. "Oh no, this milk is spoiled. We can't use it for the cake."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She wanted to make a nice cake for her mom, not a yucky one. She started to cry.
+
+"Don't worry, sweetie, it's not your fault. We can get some fresh milk and start over. The cake will still be ready in time for mom's birthday. And I'm sure she will love it, because you made it with love." her dad said, hugging her.
+
+He threw away the spoiled batter and washed the bowl and the mixer. Then he and Lily prepared a new batch of ingredients and mixed them well. They poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven.
+
+Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She was happy to make a cake for her mom again. She hoped her mom would like it and be proud of her. She thanked her dad for helping her and gave him a kiss.
+Tommy was sad. He had a big ouch on his arm. He fell from the slide and hit a rock. Mommy took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He gave Tommy a sticker and a candy.
+
+The doctor said, "We need to take a picture of your arm. It is called an x-ray. It will not hurt. It will help me see if your bone is broken or not."
+
+Tommy was scared. He did not like the big machine. It looked like a monster. He held Mommy's hand. Mommy said, "It is okay, Tommy. You are brave. Just stay still for a little bit. Then we will go home and watch your favorite show."
+
+The doctor put a big apron on Tommy. He said, "This will protect you from the x-ray. It is like a magic blanket. You can pretend you are a superhero." Tommy liked that. He smiled and said, "I am Super Tommy!"
+
+The doctor went behind a window. He said, "Ready, set, go!" He pressed a button. The machine made a beep. Tommy did not feel anything. He said, "Is it done?" The doctor said, "Yes, it is done. Good job, Tommy! You can see your x-ray now."
+
+The doctor showed Tommy a picture of his arm. It looked like a skeleton. Tommy saw a crack in his bone. He said, "Wow, that is cool! Is that my arm?" The doctor said, "Yes, that is your arm. You have a fracture. That means your bone is cracked. But it will heal. I will put a cast on your arm. You can choose the color. And your friends can sign it."
+
+Tommy chose a blue cast. He liked blue. It was his favorite color. The doctor wrapped his arm with a soft cloth and a hard shell. He said, "This will keep your arm safe and cozy. You have to wear it for a few weeks. Then I will take it off and check your arm again."
+
+Tommy said, "Thank you, doctor. You are smart. You helped me." The doctor said, "You are welcome, Tommy. You are strong. You did great." He gave Tommy another sticker and a candy. He said, "You can go home now. But be careful. Do not play rough. And do not get your cast wet."
+
+Tommy said, "Okay, doctor. I will be good. I will listen to Mommy." He hugged Mommy. He said, "Let's go home, Mommy. I want to show Daddy and Lily my x-ray and my cast. They will think it is awesome." Mommy said, "Yes, let's go home, Tommy. I am proud of you. You are awesome." She kissed his cheek. She said, "I love you, Tommy." Tommy said, "I love you, Mommy."
+
+They went to the car. Tommy saw a boy in the parking lot. The boy was mean. He said, "Ha ha, look at Tommy. He has a stupid cast. He is a baby. He can not play." Tommy felt angry. He said, "No, I am not a baby. I am Super Tommy. I have a cool x-ray. And I have a brave ouch. You are stupid. You are a bully." He clapped his hands. He said, "Go away, bully. Leave me alone." The boy ran away. He was scared of Tommy.
+
+Mommy said, "Good for you, Tommy. You stood up for yourself. You are not stupid. You are smart. You are not a baby. You are a big boy. You are not a bully. You are a friend." She clapped her hands. She said, "Hooray for Tommy! You are my hero." Tommy smiled. He clapped his hands. He said, "Hooray for Mommy! You are my best friend." They got in the car. They drove home. They were happy. The end.

+
+One day, they see a big sign. It says: "Race for kids. Win a prize." Lily and Ben want to join the race. They are excited.
+
+"Can we race, please?" they ask their moms.
+
+"Sure, but you have to share the bike," their moms say. "Only one bike for each team."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They both want to ride the bike. They do not want to share.
+
+"I want the bike," Lily says.
+
+"No, I want the bike," Ben says.
+
+They start to argue. They are not friends anymore.
+
+Their moms are worried. They do not like to see them fight.
+
+"Look, kids, why don't you offer to take turns?" one mom says. "You can both ride the bike for half of the race. Then you can switch and use the ball. That way, you can both have fun and be fair."
+
+Lily and Ben think about it. They do not want to be mean. They want to be friends.
+
+"Okay, I will offer to let you ride the bike first," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I will offer to let you ride the bike second," Ben says.
+
+They hug and smile. They are friends again.
+
+They join the race. They have a lot of fun. They work together and help each other. They do not care who wins. They are happy.
+
+Their moms are proud. They clap and cheer. They are happy too.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big box near the fence. It had a sign that said "Do not touch". Sara was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the box.
+
+"Let's open it," she said to Ben.
+
+"No, we can't," Ben said. "It is not ours. Mom and Dad will be angry."
+
+Sara did not listen. She pulled the box to a corner. She opened it. She saw a lot of things. She saw books, pens, papers, and a microscope.
+
+"What is this?" she asked, holding the microscope.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "But we should put it back. It is not a toy."
+
+Sara did not put it back. She wanted to play with it. She put it on the ground. She looked through it. She saw tiny things. She saw bugs, dirt, and grass.
+
+"Wow, this is cool," she said. "You can see everything very small."
+
+Ben was scared. He heard Mom and Dad coming. He ran to the box. He tried to put everything back. He was too late. Mom and Dad saw them.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Did you open the box?"
+
+Sara and Ben felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They looked at each other. They did not say anything.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy. They told them the box was a gift for their uncle. He was a scientist. He liked to study small things. The microscope was very expensive and important.
+
+"We are sorry," Sara and Ben said. "We did not know. We just wanted to see."

+Mom and Dad sighed. They hugged them. They said they loved them. But they also said they had to learn to respect other people's things. They said they had to gain their trust again. They said they had to help them fix the box and the microscope. They said they had to say sorry to their uncle.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They wanted to make things right. They learned a lesson. They never opened a box that was not theirs again.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. One day, it was very cold and windy. Lily had a hat, but Ben did not.
+
+"Ben, you look cold. Do you want to lend my hat?" Lily asked.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. But your hat is pink and has flowers. I don't like pink and flowers. I like blue and cars." Ben said.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She saw a big tree in the park. The tree had many leaves that were brown and yellow. She had an idea.
+
+"Come with me, Ben. I have a better hat for you." Lily said.
+
+She ran to the tree and picked some leaves. She put them on Ben's head and made a hat.
+
+"Look, Ben. Now you have a hat too. It is brown and yellow, like the cars in your book. And it is harmless. The leaves will not hurt you." Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled and touched his new hat. He liked it very much.
+
+"Wow, Lily. You are very clever. I love my hat. It is warm and cozy. And it is harmless. The wind will not blow it away." Ben said.
+
+They hugged and laughed. They played in the park with their hats. They were very happy. They were best friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They live in a small village near the forest. They like to play outside and explore new things.
+
+One day, they find a big tree with red fruits. They are curious and hungry. They pick some fruits and bite them.
+
+"Mmm, these taste sweet and juicy!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, they are very good!" Ben agrees.
+
+They eat more fruits and feel happy.
+
+But then, they hear a loud roar. A big bear comes out of the forest. It is angry and hungry too. It sees the children and the fruits. It wants to eat them.
+
+"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouts.
+
+But Anna does not hear him. She is deaf. She cannot hear anything. She only sees Ben's mouth moving. She does not know what he says.
+
+Ben sees that Anna does not run. He is scared and brave. He grabs Anna's hand and pulls her away from the tree. He runs with her to the village. He hopes the bear does not follow them.
+
+They reach the village and tell their parents what happened. Their parents hug them and thank Ben for saving Anna. They are proud of him.
+
+Anna and Ben are safe and happy. They are still friends. They share their fruits with their parents and their friends. They taste sweet and juicy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. But sometimes they fought over the toys. Ben had a red car and Sam had a blue bike. Ben wanted to ride the bike, but Sam said no.
+
+"Let me have a turn, Sam. It's not fair!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have the car. Go away!" Sam said.
+
+Ben was jealous of Sam. He wanted to make Sam angry. He saw a big hill near the park. He had an idea.
+
+"I dare you to ride your bike down the hill, Sam. I bet you are scared!" Ben said.
+
+Sam was not scared. He wanted to show Ben he was brave. He took his bike and went to the top of the hill. He looked down. The hill was very steep. There was a road under the hill. There were cars on the road.
+
+"Are you ready, Sam? Go on, do it!" Ben shouted.
+
+Sam pushed his bike and started to go down the hill. He went very fast. He felt the wind in his hair. He tried to stop, but he couldn't. He was out of control. He saw a car coming under the hill. He screamed.
+
+Ben saw what happened. He felt sorry. He wished he didn't dare Sam. He ran to help Sam, but it was too late. Sam was hurt. He was bleeding. He was not moving. Ben cried. He lost his brother. He learned a lesson. He never dared anyone again.

+Lily and her mom went to the shop. Lily wanted to buy a toy car. She saw a red car on the shelf. She asked her mom, "Can I have the red car, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, we have to pay for it. Come with me to the counter."
+
+They walked to the counter. There was a man there. He was the shopkeeper. He looked at Lily and her mom. He did not smile. He said, "What do you want?"
+
+Lily's mom said, "We want to buy this car. How much is it?"
+
+The shopkeeper said, "It is five dollars. Give me the money."
+
+Lily's mom gave him the money. She waited for the change. The shopkeeper did not give her the change. He said, "There is no change. Go away."
+
+Lily's mom said, "That is not fair. You have to give me the change. You are rude."
+
+The shopkeeper said, "I don't care. This is my shop. I can do what I want. Go away or I will call the police."
+
+Lily and her mom were scared. They did not want to fight with the shopkeeper. They took the car and ran out of the shop. Lily was sad. She said, "Mom, why was the shopkeeper so rude? He did not give us the change. He was mean."
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Some people are rude and mean. But we are not. We are nice and kind. We have each other. And we have the car. Do you like the car?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I like the car. It is red and shiny. Can I play with it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course you can. Let's go home and play with it. Maybe we can find some friends who have nice cars too. And we can share and have fun."

+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a red ball, and a soft bear. He liked to make noises with his truck, to throw his ball, and to hug his bear. He did not like to eat his vegetables. He said they were yucky and green.
+
+One day, his mom gave him a new vegetable. It was white and round and had many little parts. "This is cauliflower," his mom said. "It is good for you. Try some, please."
+
+Tom looked at the cauliflower. He did not think it looked good. He thought it looked like a flower that was not pretty. He shook his head. "No, thank you, mom. I do not want cauliflower. I want cookies."
+
+His mom smiled. "You cannot have cookies until you eat some cauliflower. It is not a flower, it is a vegetable. It is crunchy and tasty. You might like it if you try it."
+
+Tom was curious. He wondered what cauliflower tasted like. He decided to try a little bit. He picked up a small part and put it in his mouth. He bit it and chewed it. He was surprised. It was not yucky and green. It was crunchy and sweet. He liked it.
+
+He said to his mom, "Mom, I like cauliflower. It is good. Can I have some more, please?"
+
+His mom was happy. She gave him some more cauliflower. She said, "I am glad you like cauliflower, Tom. You have met a new vegetable today. It is unusual, but it is good. Maybe you will like other vegetables too, if you try them."
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to try other vegetables. He wanted to meet more unusual things. He thought cauliflower was a good friend. He said, "Thank you, mom, for giving me cauliflower. It is a nice vegetable. Can I play with it too?"
+
+His mom laughed. She said, "No, Tom, you cannot play with cauliflower. You can eat it, but you cannot make noises with it, or throw it, or hug it. It is not a toy, it is food. You can play with your toys after you finish your cauliflower."
+
+Tom understood. He ate his cauliflower. He liked it very much. He was happy. He had met a new vegetable today. He had learned something new. He had tried something unusual. He had had a good day.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with balloons. They liked to blow them up and make them big and round. They liked to tie them to strings and hold them in their hands. They liked to watch them bounce and float in the air.
+
+One day, they found a big red balloon in the park. It was bigger than any balloon they had ever seen. It was shiny and bright and had a long string. Lily and Ben wanted to play with it. They took turns holding the string and running with the balloon.
+
+But the balloon was very powerful. It wanted to fly away. It pulled and pulled on the string. Lily and Ben had to hold on tight. They did not want to lose the balloon. They wanted to keep it and take it home.
+
+But the balloon was stronger than them. It pulled so hard that it made Lily and Ben fall down. The string slipped from their hands. The balloon flew up and up and up. It went higher and higher and higher. Lily and Ben watched it go. They felt sad and angry. They wanted their balloon back.
+
+But then they saw something. The balloon flew over a big tree. The tree had many branches and leaves. The string got caught on a branch. The balloon could not fly away anymore. It was stuck on the tree.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They ran to the tree. They climbed up the trunk and the branches. They reached the string. They pulled and pulled and pulled. They released the balloon from the tree. They held it in their hands again. They felt safe and happy. They had their balloon back. They hugged the balloon and each other. They said thank you to the tree. They went home with their balloon. They played with it and loved it. They were careful not to let it go again.
+Lily and Tom were going to play outside. They put on their coats and hats and gloves. But they had to choose their shoes. Lily wanted to wear her pink shoes with the flowers. Tom wanted to wear his blue shoes with the stars.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't wear those shoes," Tom said. "They are not good for the snow. The snow is icy and cold and wet. You need boots to keep your feet warm and dry."
+
+"But I like my pink shoes," Lily said. "They are pretty and they match my coat. I don't like my boots. They are brown and boring and heavy."
+
+Tom shook his head. "Lily, you are silly. You will be sorry if you wear your pink shoes. You will slip and fall and hurt yourself. And your feet will be frozen and wet. And your shoes will be ruined. Please, Lily, choose your boots."
+
+Lily looked at her pink shoes and her brown boots. She liked her pink shoes more, but she did not want to slip and fall and hurt herself. She did not want to have frozen and wet feet. She did not want to ruin her shoes. She sighed. "Okay, Tom, you are right. I will choose my boots."
+
+Tom smiled. "Good, Lily, you are smart. Now we can go and play outside. Come on, let's make a snowman and have a snowball fight and slide on the ice."
+
+Lily and Tom put on their boots and went outside. They had fun in the snow. They were glad they chose their boots.
+Anna likes to play the piano. She has a big piano in her room. It is purple, her favorite color. She likes to make music with the keys.
+
+One day, her friend Ben comes to visit. He wants to play the piano too. He sits next to Anna on the bench.
+
+"Can I play with you?" he asks.
+
+"Sure, you can play with me," Anna says. "But you have to follow the rules."
+
+"What are the rules?" Ben asks.
+
+"The rules are: you have to add one finger every time you play a key. Like this," Anna says. She shows him how to play with one finger, then two, then three, and so on.
+
+Ben thinks that is a fun game. He tries to play with Anna. He adds one finger every time he plays a key. But he gets confused. He forgets how many fingers he has to use. He plays the wrong keys. He makes a loud noise.
+
+"Oops, sorry," he says.
+
+Anna laughs. She does not mind. She thinks Ben is funny. She helps him to play the right keys. They play the piano together. They make music. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big hedge with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go through the hole," said Tom.
+
+"OK," said Lily.
+
+They crawled through the hole. It was dark and prickly. They felt something move under them. They heard a growl.
+
+"Uh-oh," said Tom.
+
+They saw a big dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was a terrible dog. It wanted to bite them.
+
+"Help!" they shouted.
+
+They tried to go back through the hole. But the dog was faster. It blocked their way. It barked and snapped at them. They were scared. They struggled to get away.
+
+"Tom! Lily! Where are you?" they heard their mom call.
+
+She heard their cries. She ran to the hedge. She saw the dog. She grabbed a stick. She hit the dog. The dog ran away.
+
+"Mom!" they cried.
+
+She pulled them out of the hole. She hugged them. She checked them for wounds. They were OK. Just some scratches.
+
+"Are you OK?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom," they said.
+
+"What were you doing in there?" she asked.
+
+"We wanted to see what was on the other side," they said.
+
+"Well, you saw it. And it was not nice. Next time, stay away from the hedge. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt," she said.
+
+"OK, mom," they said.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never went near the hedge again. They played in the garden. But they stayed in the safe places. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. But today, the sky is dark and loud. Lily and Ben hear thunder. They are scared.
+
+"Let's hide!" Lily says. She runs to the big tree in the yard. Ben follows her. They sit under the tree and hug Spot. Spot licks their faces. He is not scared.
+
+"Where are Lily and Ben?" Mom asks. She looks out the window. She sees the dark sky and hears the thunder. She is worried. She puts on her coat and boots. She goes outside to find them.
+
+She walks around the yard. She calls their names. "Lily! Ben! Where are you?" She does not see them. She sees the big tree. She walks to the tree. She hears giggles.
+
+She looks under the tree. She sees Lily and Ben and Spot. They are hiding. They smile at her. "We are here, Mom!" they say. "We are hiding from the thunder!"
+
+Mom smiles too. She kneels down and hugs them. "You are safe, my loves," she says. "The thunder is just noise. It cannot hurt you. But you should not hide from me. I was looking for you."
+
+Lily and Ben say sorry. They kiss Mom. They get up and hold her hand. They go back to the house with Spot. They have hot chocolate and cookies. They watch the rain and the thunder. They are not scared anymore. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for their mom's birthday. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some milk. They mixed everything together with a big spoon.
+
+"Let's taste it!" said Ben. He dipped his finger in the batter and licked it. "Yum, it's sweet!"
+
+"Me too!" said Lily. She did the same. "It's good!"
+
+They poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 20 minutes. Then they went to play with their toys.
+
+But they forgot to turn on the oven. The batter stayed cold and wet. The timer beeped and they ran back to the kitchen.
+
+"Let's see our cake!" said Ben. He opened the oven and took out the pan. He was surprised. The batter looked the same as before.
+
+"What happened?" said Lily. She touched the batter. It was sticky and gooey.
+
+"It's not a cake, it's a mess!" said Ben. He dropped the pan on the floor. The batter splashed everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" said Lily. "Mom will be mad!"
+
+They heard the door open. Mom was home. She saw the twins and the messy kitchen. She smiled.
+
+"Did you try to make me a cake?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, but it didn't work," said Ben.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," said Lily.
+
+Mom hugged them. "It's okay, I love you anyway. But next time, let me help you, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," said Ben and Lily.
+
+They cleaned up the mess together. Then they ate some ice cream and sang happy birthday to Mom.
+Lila and Tom are twins. They live in a big city with many tall buildings. Every morning, they rise from their beds and look out the window. They like to see the sun and the birds and the cars.
+
+One day, they see something scary in the sky. It is a big, black cloud. It makes a loud noise like thunder. It comes closer and closer to the city. Lila and Tom are afraid. They run to their mom and dad.
+
+"Mom, dad, what is that?" they ask.
+
+"That is a storm, my loves," mom says. "It is a lot of rain and wind. Sometimes it happens in the city. But we are safe inside our home. Don't worry."
+
+Mom hugs Lila and Tom. She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. She tells them a story about a brave princess and a friendly dragon. Lila and Tom listen and smile. They forget about the storm.
+
+Soon, the storm goes away. The sun comes out again. The city is bright and clean. Lila and Tom look out the window. They see a rainbow in the sky. They clap their hands and laugh.
+
+"Look, mom, dad, a rainbow!" they say.
+
+"Yes, my loves, a rainbow," mom says. "It is a sign of hope and beauty. It is a gift from the storm. Do you like it?"
+
+"We love it!" Lila and Tom say. "We love the city. We love you, mom and dad."
+
+They hug mom and dad. They are happy. They are not scared anymore.
+Sam was a boy who liked to play with his cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them race and crash on the floor. He also liked to tie them together with a long tie and pull them around the room.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Sam, we have to go to the store. Please bring your cars and put them in the box." Sam did not want to go to the store. He wanted to play with his cars. He said, "No, mom, I want to play. I don't want to go to the store."
+
+Mom was troubled. She had to buy some food and some clothes for Sam. She said, "Sam, we have to go to the store. It will be fun. You can see many things and maybe get a treat. Please bring your cars and put them in the box."
+
+Sam still did not want to go to the store. He said, "No, mom, I want to play. I don't want to go to the store." He held his cars and his tie tightly.
+
+Mom was very troubled. She did not know what to do. She said, "Sam, if you bring your cars and put them in the box, I will let you bring one car and one tie with you to the store. You can play with them in the car and in the store. How about that?"
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He liked his cars and his tie. He did not want to leave them all behind. He said, "OK, mom, I will bring my cars and put them in the box. But I want to bring my red car and my blue tie with me to the store. They are my favorites."
+
+Mom smiled. She was happy that Sam agreed. She said, "OK, Sam, you can bring your red car and your blue tie with you to the store. They are very nice. Now, let's go to the store and have some fun." She helped Sam put his cars and his tie in the box and took his hand. Sam held his red car and his blue tie in his other hand. He was still a little sad, but he was also curious. He wondered what he would see and maybe get at the store.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go look," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben said.
+
+They walked to the hole and peered over the edge. It was dark and wet. They heard a splash.
+
+"What was that?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a fish," Lily said.
+
+She leaned over more to see better. She saw something shiny and round. It looked like a ball.
+
+"Look, Ben, a ball!" she said. "I want it!"
+
+She reached out her hand to grab it. But it was not a ball. It was a snake. It had big teeth and red eyes. It was angry and hungry. It jumped out of the water and bit Lily's hand.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily screamed.
+
+"Help! Help! Help!" Ben shouted.
+
+The snake did not let go. It wrapped itself around Lily's arm. It tried to pull her into the water.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They cried and screamed. They tried to get away. But the snake was too strong and fast.
+
+No one heard them. No one came to help them. The snake dragged them into the water. They never came out. The hole was quiet again. The snake was full and happy. It had a weird lunch.
+Lila was a little bird who loved to fly. She liked to soar high in the sky and feel the wind on her wings. She had many friends who flew with her, like Sam the sparrow and Mia the magpie.
+
+One day, Lila saw a big storm coming. The clouds were dark and scary, and the thunder was loud and angry. Lila was worried. She did not like storms. They made her feel cold and wet and afraid. She wanted to find a safe place to hide.
+
+She looked for her friends, but they were nowhere to be seen. They had already flown away to their nests and holes. Lila felt alone and sad. She wished she had someone to hug and comfort her.
+
+She flew around, looking for a shelter. She saw a big tree with many branches and leaves. She thought it might be a good place to stay. She flew towards it, hoping to find a cozy spot.
+
+But as she got closer, she saw something else. It was a big owl, sitting on a branch. The owl had big eyes and sharp claws and a hungry look. Lila was scared. She knew owls liked to eat little birds like her. She tried to turn around and fly away, but it was too late. The owl saw her and swooped down to catch her.
+
+Lila screamed and flapped her wings, but she was no match for the owl. The owl grabbed her with his claws and lifted her up. Lila felt a sharp pain and a terrible fear. She thought she was going to die.
+
+But then, something amazing happened. She heard a loud squawk and saw a flash of blue and green. It was Mia, the magpie, and she had brought some friends. They were a flock of magpies, and they were angry. They did not like owls who hurt their friends.
+
+They attacked the owl, pecking and scratching and screeching. The owl was surprised and hurt. He dropped Lila and flew away, chased by the magpies. Lila fell to the ground, but she was not hurt. She was just shaken and bruised.
+
+She looked up and saw Mia and the other magpies. They landed next to her and surrounded her. They nuzzled and cuddled and comforted her. They told her they were sorry they had left her alone, and that they were glad she was okay. They gave her many hugs and kisses.
+
+Lila felt warm and happy. She thanked them for saving her and for being her friends. She told them she loved them. They told her they loved her too. They stayed with her until the storm passed, and then they flew away together, singing and laughing. Lila was no longer worried. She was happy. She loved to fly.
+Sara wanted to play with the new doll that Lily had. Lily got the doll for her birthday and it was very pretty. It had long hair, a pink dress and shiny shoes. Sara asked Lily if she could borrow the doll for a little while.
+
+"No, you can't," Lily said. "It's mine and I don't want you to touch it. You have your own toys to play with."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She thought Lily was mean and selfish. She waited until Lily went to the bathroom and then she took the doll from her bed. She ran to the kitchen and hid behind the table. She wanted to make the doll ugly so Lily would not like it anymore.
+
+She found a pair of scissors and cut the doll's hair. She ripped the doll's dress and took off the shoes. She drew on the doll's face with a marker. She thought the doll looked very funny and cheap now. She laughed and said, "Now you are not pretty anymore. Now you are mine."
+
+She heard Lily coming back and she got scared. She did not want Lily to see what she had done. She looked for a place to hide the doll. She saw the sink and thought it was a good idea. She threw the doll in the sink and turned on the water. She hoped the water would wash away the marker and the scissors.
+
+But she did not know that the sink was broken. The water did not go down the drain. It filled up the sink and spilled over the edge. It made a big mess on the floor and the counter. It soaked the doll and made it wet and dirty.
+
+Lily came into the kitchen and saw the water and the doll. She screamed and cried. She knew it was Sara who had done it. She ran to her mom and told her everything. Sara felt bad and sorry. She knew she had made a big mistake. She wished she had not taken the doll. She wished she had been nice to Lily. But it was too late. Lily's mom was very angry and punished Sara. She took away all of Sara's toys and sent her to her room. She said Sara could not play with Lily or the doll ever again. Sara was very sad and lonely. She learned that borrowing without asking was wrong and that being mean did not make her happy. She wished she could say sorry to Lily and the doll. But she could not. The end.

+
+Tom agreed and took the board. He ran to the top of the hill and put the board on the ground. He sat on the board and pushed himself down the hill. He felt the wind in his hair and the board under his feet. He saw the rock coming closer and closer.
+
+"Watch me, Sam!" he shouted. "I'm going to jump over the rock!"
+
+But Tom did not jump over the rock. He hit the rock with the board and flew off the board. He landed hard on the ground and hurt himself. He cried out in pain and fear.
+
+Sam ran to Tom and saw that he was bleeding and had a big bump on his head. He was scared and did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sam yelled. "Tom is hurt! We need help!"
+
+But no one heard Sam. They were alone on the hill with the board and the rock. Tom and Sam wished they had not played with the board. They wished they had stayed home and played with their toys. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with books. They have many books in their room. Some books have pictures, some books have stories, and some books have hard words.
+
+One day, Tim finds a big book on the shelf. It is a dictionary. It has many pages and many letters. Tim wants to look at the dictionary. He thinks it is fun. He takes the dictionary and sits on the floor.
+
+Sam sees Tim with the dictionary. He wants to play with it too. He runs to Tim and tries to grab the dictionary. Tim does not want to share. He holds the dictionary tight. Sam pulls harder. Tim pulls harder. They both yell.
+
+"Give me the book!" Sam yells.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tim yells.
+
+Mom hears the boys yelling. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the dictionary. She is not happy. She takes the dictionary from them. She puts it back on the shelf.
+
+"Boys, stop yelling and fighting!" Mom says. "The dictionary is not a toy. It is a book for learning. You can look at it together, but you have to be gentle and quiet. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They are sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. They say sorry to each other. They hug.
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad they are friends again. She gives them another book. It is a book with pictures and stories. It is an enthusiastic book. It makes them happy. They sit on the floor and look at the book together. They do not yell. They laugh.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do.
+
+"Let's go to the kitchen," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some snacks."
+
+"OK," Ben agreed. They ran to the kitchen and opened the cupboards. They saw some crackers, some cheese, and some jam.
+
+"Yum, let's make sandwiches," Lily said. She took out two plates and two knives. She spread jam on one cracker and cheese on another. She gave one to Ben and took one for herself.
+
+They bit into their sandwiches and made a face. "Blech, this tastes bad," Ben said. He spit out his sandwich on the plate.
+
+"Me too, this is yucky," Lily said. She looked at the jam and the cheese. They were both green and fuzzy. "Oh no, these are old. They have mold on them."
+
+They heard a loud noise from the corner of the kitchen. It was the dishwasher. It was big and shiny and modern. It had buttons and lights and made sounds. Lily and Ben were curious. They walked over to the dishwasher and opened the door.
+
+"Wow, look at all the dishes," Lily said. She saw plates, cups, forks, spoons, and knives. They were all clean and shiny. She reached for a cup and touched it. It was warm and wet.
+
+"Careful, Lily, it's hot," Ben said. He saw a button that said "start". He wondered what it would do. He pushed the button and the dishwasher closed the door. It started to make more noises and spray water.
+
+"Uh oh, Ben, what did you do?" Lily asked. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She heard a beep and saw a light that said "cycle". She didn't know what that meant.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, I just pushed a button," Ben said. He felt scared. He hoped they didn't break the dishwasher. He hoped their mom and dad wouldn't be mad.
+
+They sat on the floor and waited for the dishwasher to stop. They wished they had played with their toys instead. They learned a lesson. They should never taste old food or touch modern machines.
+Sara and Tom were making a cake with Mom. They liked to stir the flour and the eggs and the sugar in a big bowl. Mom said stirring was fun and good for the cake.
+
+But Tom wanted to stir more than Sara. He said, "It's my turn now. Give me the spoon." He tried to take the spoon from Sara, but she held it tight. She said, "No, it's not. I want to stir more. It's still my turn."
+
+They started to pull the spoon and shout at each other. Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw them fighting over the spoon and the bowl. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are making a mess and a noise. You have to share and take turns. That's the rule."
+
+She took the spoon and the bowl from them and put them on the table. She pointed to a sign on the wall. The sign had words and pictures. It said, "Share and take turns. Be nice and kind. Have fun and smile."
+
+Mom said, "Look at the sign. What does it say? Can you read it with me?" Sara and Tom looked at the sign and read it with Mom. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Tom."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. You are both good kids. Now, let's finish the cake together. We can all stir and pour and bake. And then we can eat the cake. It will be sweet and yummy." Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, Mom. We love you. We love cake." They helped Mom with the cake and had a good time. They learned to share and take turns and be nice and kind. They enjoyed the sweet cake and each other.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with a ball. They pass the ball to each other. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big tree. The tree has many red fruits. They are apples. Lila and Ben want to eat some apples. They are hungry.
+
+They ask their mom and dad if they can pick some apples. Their mom and dad say yes. They help them. They pick some good apples. They are juicy and sweet.
+
+Lila and Ben share their apples with their mom and dad. They say thank you. They are happy. They eat their apples and play with their ball. They have a good day.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers, trees, animals and people. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, she wanted to paint the sun. She looked out the window and saw the bright yellow sun in the sky. She took her yellow paint and a big brush. She painted a big yellow circle on her paper. She smiled.
+
+But then, Tom came. Tom was Lily's brother. He was older and bigger. He saw Lily's painting and laughed. He said, "That is not the sun. That is a silly circle. The sun is not a circle. The sun is a ball of fire. You are ignorant. You don't know anything."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not like Tom's words. She said, "No, you are ignorant. You don't know how to paint. You don't know how to be nice. You don't know how to make me happy."
+
+Tom got angry. He took Lily's painting and tore it. He said, "There. Now you have no sun. Now you have nothing."
+
+Lily cried. She ran to her mom. She told her what Tom did. Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Tom was wrong. He was mean and rude. He should not have torn your painting. He should have respected your work. He should have apologized. He should have learned from you. You are not ignorant. You are creative and smart. You know how to paint. You know how to express yourself. You know how to enjoy the sun. You know how to be happy."
+
+Mom gave Lily a new paper and a new brush. She said, "Here, Lily. You can paint the sun again. You can paint it any way you like. You can paint it yellow, or orange, or pink, or blue. You can paint it as a circle, or a star, or a heart, or a smile. You can paint it as you see it, or as you feel it, or as you imagine it. You can paint it as you are. You are wonderful."
+
+Lily smiled. She thanked her mom. She took the paper and the brush. She painted the sun again. She painted it with love. She was happy.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play football. They had a big football that was red and white. They played in the park near their homes. They kicked the football to each other and had fun.
+
+One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Tom and Sam's football and wanted it. He ran to them and grabbed the football. He said, "This is my football now. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Tom and Sam were sad and angry. They wanted their football back. They said, "No, this is our football. You are mean. Give it back."
+
+The big boy laughed and said, "No, I won't. I am bigger and stronger than you. You can't do anything." He kicked the football far away and ran after it.
+
+Tom and Sam did not know what to do. They felt like crying. They wandered around the park, looking for their football. They hoped the big boy would leave soon.
+
+They saw a girl sitting on a bench. She had a small football that was pink and yellow. She saw Tom and Sam and smiled. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me? I have a football too. It is humble, but it is fun."
+
+Tom and Sam smiled too. They said, "Hi, we are Tom and Sam. We like to play football too. But a big boy took our football and ran away. He was mean."
+
+Lily said, "That is not nice. I am sorry. You can play with my football. I don't mind. Maybe we can find your football later."
+
+Tom and Sam said, "Thank you. You are very kind. We would like to play with you."
+
+They played with Lily's football and had fun. They forgot about the big boy and their football. They made a new friend. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to eat some apples, but they were too high. Ben had an idea. He said, "I can kick the tree and make the apples fall."
+
+Lily said, "No, Ben, that is not a good idea. The tree will be angry and hurt you." But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and kicked it hard. He kicked it again and again.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise came from the tree. It was a big bee. The bee was angry and flew out of the tree. It saw Ben and Lily and buzzed at them. Ben and Lily were scared. They ran away, but the bee followed them. It stung Ben on his nose and Lily on her ear. They cried and cried.
+
+They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad were not happy. They said, "You should not kick the tree. That is not nice. The tree is alive and has feelings. And the bee was protecting its home. You should say sorry to the tree and the bee."
+
+Ben and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to the tree and the bee, but they still had red bumps on their nose and ear. They learned their lesson. They never kicked a tree again.
+Tom has a pet fish. His fish is orange and shiny. He likes to watch his fish swim in the bowl. He feeds his fish every day.
+
+One day, Tom wants to play with his fish. He thinks his fish is lonely in the bowl. He takes his fish out of the water and puts it on the floor. He says, "Hello, fish. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The fish does not say anything. It does not move. It does not look happy. Tom does not understand. He thinks his fish is tired. He says, "Don't worry, fish. I will put you back in the water soon."
+
+But Tom forgets about his fish. He sees his toy car and starts to play with it. He makes vroom-vroom noises and drives his car around the room. He has fun.
+
+He does not see his mom come in. She sees the fish on the floor. She gasps. She picks up the fish and runs to the bowl. She puts the fish in the water. She hopes the fish is not dead. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You can't take your fish out of the water. It needs water to breathe. It will die without water. You have to be careful with your pet. You have to respect its needs. You have to love it."
+
+Tom feels bad. He sees his fish soak in the water. He sees his fish move a little. He is glad his fish is not dead. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, fish. I wanted to play with my fish. I didn't know it needed water to breathe. I will never take it out of the water again. I will be careful with my pet. I will respect its needs. I will love it."
+
+Mom hugs Tom. She says, "I'm glad you understand, Tom. I know you love your fish. But you have to remember that different pets have different needs. You can't treat them all the same. You have to learn about them and take care of them. That's how you show them you love them."
+
+Tom nods. He says, "I will, mom. I will learn about my fish and take care of it. I will show it I love it."
+
+He looks at his fish. His fish looks at him. He smiles. His fish swims. He thinks his fish smiles too. He says, "Hello, fish. Do you want to watch me play with my car?"
+
+The fish does not say anything. But it does not mind. It is happy in the water. It is happy with Tom.
+Sam likes to play with his basketball. He likes to bounce it, throw it, and catch it. He likes to make noises when he plays, like "boing, boing, boing" and "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".
+
+One day, he sees a new boy in the park. The boy has a big hat and a red shirt. He also has a basketball, but it is different from Sam's. It is smaller and has many colors. Sam thinks it is interesting.
+
+He goes to the boy and says, "Hi, I am Sam. What is your name?"
+
+The boy smiles and says, "Hi, I am Max. Do you like my basketball?"
+
+Sam nods and says, "Yes, it is interesting. Can I see it?"
+
+Max says, "Sure, here you go." He gives his basketball to Sam.
+
+Sam takes it and looks at it. He sees that it has pictures of animals on it. He sees a lion, a monkey, a zebra, and a giraffe. He thinks they are funny.
+
+He says, "Wow, your basketball has animals on it. How do they stay on?"
+
+Max says, "They are stickers. My mom gave them to me. She said they are from Africa. Do you know where Africa is?"
+
+Sam shakes his head and says, "No, I don't. Where is it?"
+
+Max says, "It is very far away. It is another place with many people and animals. My mom said she went there once and saw the animals. She said they are big and loud and beautiful."
+
+Sam says, "That sounds cool. I want to see them too."
+
+Max says, "Maybe you can go there someday. But for now, do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sam says, "Yes, I do. Can we play with your basketball?"
+
+Max says, "Of course. Let's go to the hoop and see who can make more shots."
+
+Sam says, "OK, let's go. But can I keep your stickers?"
+
+Max says, "No, they are mine. But I can share them with you."
+
+Sam says, "OK, that is nice of you. Thank you, Max."
+
+They run to the hoop and start to play. They have fun with the interesting basketball. They become friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They wanted to make a cake.
+
+Tom took a spoon and scooped some flour. He poured it into a smaller bowl. He said, "I will make the cake. You can watch me."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to help too. She said, "No, I want to make the cake. Give me the spoon."
+
+Tom said, "No, it is my spoon. You can use another spoon."
+
+Lily looked around. She saw another spoon on the table. But it was too far for her to reach. She tried to stretch her arm, but she could not get it. She said, "I can't reach that spoon. Give me your spoon."
+
+Tom said, "No, you can't have it. It is mine."
+
+Lily got angry. She grabbed Tom's arm and tried to pull the spoon away. Tom held on tight. He said, "Let go of me. You are hurting me."
+
+Lily said, "No, you let go of the spoon. You are hurting me."
+
+They pulled and tugged and shouted. The spoon flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. The flour spilled out of the bowl and made a big mess. The eggs cracked and the milk spilled. The sugar scattered everywhere.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the children. She said, "What are you doing? Look at this mess. You are both in trouble."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to make a cake. But we fought over the spoon."
+
+Mom said, "You should not fight over a spoon. You should share and take turns. Fighting does not gain you anything. It only makes things worse. Now you have to clean up this mess and say sorry to each other."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry to each other. We will share and take turns next time."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "That's good. I love you both. Now let's clean up and maybe we can make a cake together later."
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her mom. She liked to smell the flowers and touch the leaves. She liked to help her mom pick some herbs for the soup. Herbs were green and smelled good.
+
+One day, Lily saw a funny bug on a herb. It was small and round and had many legs. It was red and black and had spots. Lily wondered what it was. She wanted to touch it, but her mom said no.
+
+"Be careful, Lily. That is a ladybug. It is a good bug, but it can bite you if you bother it. It helps the herbs grow by eating the bad bugs. Let it do its job and don't hurt it."
+
+Lily nodded. She did not want to hurt the ladybug. She wanted to be its friend. She said hello to the bug and watched it crawl on the herb. She smiled and said, "You are a funny bug, ladybug. I like you. Thank you for helping the herbs."
+Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw an enormous house at the end of the street. It was very old and had many windows and doors. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tim said. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+Mia was scared. She shook her head. "No, Tim. That house is spooky. Mommy said we should not go there. It is not safe."
+
+Tim did not listen. He nodded his head. "It is fine, Mia. Don't be a baby. Come on, follow me." He ran towards the house.
+
+Mia did not want to lose Tim. She loved him. She ran after him. "Wait, Tim. Wait for me."
+
+They reached the house. Tim opened a door and went in. Mia followed him. It was dark and dusty inside. They could not see well. They heard strange noises.
+
+"Tim, I don't like this. Let's go back," Mia said.
+
+Tim did not answer. He walked further into the house. He saw a shiny thing on a table. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Tim, stop. Don't touch that," Mia said.
+
+But it was too late. Tim touched the shiny thing. It was a button. It made a loud sound. The house started to shake. The walls and the ceiling began to fall.
+
+"Tim, run. Run," Mia screamed.
+
+They tried to run. But they were too slow. The house collapsed on them. They were buried under the rubble. They could not breathe. They could not move. They could not see. They could not hear. They were gone.
+Sara and Tom like to play at the beach. They dig in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they find shells and rocks and seaweed. One day, they find something new. It is round and hard and gray. It is an oyster.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it has a pearl inside."
+
+"A pearl?" Sara says. "What is a pearl?"
+
+"A pearl is a shiny ball that some oysters make," Tom says. "They are very pretty and rare."
+
+"Wow," Sara says. "Can we open it and see?"
+
+Tom nods. He picks up a stick and tries to pry the oyster open. It is very hard and tight. He pushes and pulls and twists. The oyster does not open.
+
+"Maybe we need a bigger stick," Tom says.
+
+"Or maybe we need to ask the oyster nicely," Sara says.
+
+She leans close to the oyster and whispers in its ear. "Please, Mr. Oyster, can you show us your pearl? We are very curious and we will be very gentle. We just want to look at it and admire it. Please, please, please."
+
+The oyster hears Sara's whisper. It feels her warm breath and her kind words. It decides to trust her and Tom. It opens its shell a little bit. Sara and Tom see a flash of light. They gasp.
+
+Inside the oyster, there is a pearl. It is pink and shiny and smooth. It is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen.
+
+"Wow," Sara says.
+
+"Wow," Tom says.
+
+They smile at each other and at the oyster. They say thank you to the oyster. They do not touch the pearl. They let the oyster close its shell again. They put the oyster back in the water. They wave goodbye to the oyster. They run back to their parents and tell them about their amazing discovery. They are very happy and proud. They will always remember the day they found the pink pearl.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were very happy.
+
+But then, Mia felt something on her arm. She looked and saw a small, black bug. It had a long nose and wings. It was a mosquito. The mosquito bit Mia and made her arm hurt. Mia cried and ran to Leo.
+
+"Leo, Leo, help me! A mosquito bit me!" Mia said.
+
+Leo saw Mia's arm. It had a red spot and a bump. He felt sorry for Mia. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Mia. I will help you. Let's go to Mommy. She will make it better."
+
+They ran to the house. Mommy was in the kitchen. She was busy making lunch. She heard Mia and Leo and came to see them.
+
+"What's wrong, my loves?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Mia has a mosquito bite. It hurts a lot." Leo said.
+
+Mommy looked at Mia's arm. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mia. It's just a mosquito bite. It will go away soon. Here, let me put some cream on it. It will make it feel better."
+
+Mommy took some cream from a tube and rubbed it on Mia's arm. Mia felt the cream was cold and soft. She stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Leo. You are both very nice."
+
+Mommy kissed Mia and Leo and said, "You're welcome, my loves. You are both very brave. Now, how about some lunch? I made your favorite sandwiches."
+
+Mia and Leo nodded and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They followed Mommy to the table. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. They were very hungry. They stared at the window and saw the garden. They saw the flowers and bugs and birds. They did not see the mosquito. They were very happy.
+Ben liked to play with his ball in the park. He would kick it hard and watch it fly in the air. Sometimes he would kick it too hard and it would go far away. Then he would have to run and find it.
+
+One day, he saw a big file on a bench. It was shiny and had many papers inside. Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was in the file. He left his ball and went to the bench. He opened the file and looked at the papers. They had many words and numbers that he did not understand. He did not like them. He wanted his ball.
+
+He closed the file and threw it on the ground. He kicked it hard and watched it fly in the air. He felt happy. He did not see the man who was sitting on the other side of the bench. The man was angry. He had been working on the file for a long time. It was very important. He saw the file fly in the air and land on a distant tree. He yelled at Ben and ran to get the file.
+
+Ben was scared. He did not know the man was there. He did not know the file was important. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not. He ran to get his ball and go home. He hoped the man would not find him. He learned a lesson. He would not touch things that were not his. He would only play with his ball.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have a big box of cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They pretend to be drivers and make noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a white truck with big wheels and a red button. Tom picks it up and says, "Look, Lily, a new truck! I want to be the driver of this truck!"
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, I want to be the driver of this truck! It is so pretty and shiny!"
+
+They start to pull the truck from each other. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+Then, they hear a click. The red button on the truck is pressed. The truck starts to make a loud noise like roar. The truck starts to move by itself. The truck starts to jump up and down.
+
+Tom and Lily are surprised. They let go of the truck. They watch the truck jump around the room. They see the truck jump over the sofa, the table, the chair, and the bed. They see the truck jump out of the window.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the window. They look outside. They see the truck jump on the street, on the grass, on the sidewalk, and on the roof. They see the truck jump away and disappear.
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They are not angry anymore. They are amazed. They say together, "Wow, that was a cool truck!"
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, or stones, or seeds. One day, they found something shiny and black.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked, holding it up.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said, touching it. "It is wet and slippery. Maybe it is oil."
+
+"Oil? What is oil?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Oil is something that cars and trucks use to go fast," Tom explained. "My dad puts oil in his car sometimes. He says it is important."
+
+"Can we play with it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't think so," Tom said. "Oil is not good for us. It can make us sick or dirty. And we don't know where it came from. Maybe it is from an unknown place."
+
+"An unknown place? Like where?" Lily asked.
+
+"Like a place that we have never seen or heard of," Tom said. "A place that is far away or hidden or strange. Maybe there are unknown animals or plants or people there."
+
+"Wow, that sounds scary and exciting," Lily said. "Do you think we can go there?"
+
+"No, we can't," Tom said. "We have to stay here, where it is safe and familiar. And we have to tell mom or dad about the oil. Maybe they can help us find out where it came from."
+
+"Okay," Lily agreed. "But can we keep it for a little while? Just to look at it and imagine?"
+
+"Okay, but only for a little while," Tom said. "And we have to be careful not to spill it or touch it too much. And we have to wash our hands after."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "Let's do that."
+
+And they did. They put the oil in a small jar and took it to their room. They looked at it and talked about it and made up stories about the unknown place. They had fun, but they also remembered to be responsible. They did not let the oil ruin their garden or their health or their curiosity.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw some big clouds in the sky. They were dark and scary.
+
+"Look, Anna, a storm is coming!" Ben said.
+
+"I don't like storms. They are loud and wet and make me cold," Anna said.
+
+"Let's go inside and find Mommy. She will keep us safe and warm," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the house and opened the door. They saw Mommy in the kitchen. She was making a cake. It smelled good and sweet.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, there is a storm outside!" Anna said.
+
+"Hello, my little ones. Don't worry, the storm will pass soon. Come here and give me a hug," Mommy said.
+
+She bent down and reached for Anna and Ben. They ran to her and hugged her tight. She kissed them and smiled.
+
+"You are so brave and modest. You did the right thing to come inside. How about we have some cake and milk and read a story?" Mommy said.
+
+"Yes, please, Mommy. We love cake and milk and stories," Anna and Ben said.
+
+They followed Mommy to the table and sat down. They ate some cake and drank some milk. Mommy read them a story about a lion and a mouse. They listened and laughed and forgot about the storm. They felt happy and cozy. They loved Mommy very much.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a red collar.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we should ask the owner first."
+
+But Anna is not patient. She runs to the dog and tries to touch its head. The dog does not like that. It growls and snaps at Anna. Anna screams and runs away. The dog chases her. It bites her heel. Anna falls down and cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna says. "The dog bit me! It hurts!"
+
+Ben runs to Anna and helps her get up. He sees blood on her heel. He is scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "Are you okay?"
+
+"No, I'm not okay," Anna says. "The dog was mean. I want to go home."
+
+The owner of the dog comes and sees what happened. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he says. "You can't just pet my dog without asking. He doesn't like strangers. You should have been more careful."
+
+"I'm sorry, sir," Ben says. "We didn't mean to upset your dog. We just wanted to say hello."
+
+"Well, you should have waited for me to say it's okay," the owner says. "Now look what you did. You made my dog bite you. You need to go to the doctor."
+
+Anna and Ben are not happy. They regret that they did not listen to Ben. They wish they had been more ready. They learn a lesson. They will never pet a dog without asking again.

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of old clothes in the attic. They decided to dress up and pretend to be different people.
+
+Lily put on a long red cloth that looked like a dress. She wrapped a scarf around her head and said, "I am a princess. You have to do what I say."
+
+Tom put on a big green cloth that looked like a coat. He tied a belt around his waist and said, "I am a pirate. I have a sword and a treasure."
+
+They played for a while, but soon they started to argue. Lily wanted Tom to bow to her and give her his treasure. Tom wanted Lily to join his crew and sail the seas.
+
+"You are a bad pirate. You have to share your treasure with me," Lily complained.
+
+"You are a bossy princess. You have to follow my orders," Tom complained.
+
+They both pulled and tugged at each other's clothes, trying to get their way. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the door.
+
+Mom smiled and shook her head. She had an idea. She went to the kitchen and made some tasty cookies. She put them on a plate and brought them to the attic.
+
+"Who wants some cookies?" she called.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped fighting and ran to the door. They smelled the cookies and their mouths watered.
+
+"Me! Me! Me!" they both said.
+
+Mom gave them each a cookie and said, "You can have more if you share and play nicely. How about you take turns being the princess and the pirate?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They agreed to share and play nicely. They thanked mom and took their cookies back to the box of clothes. They ate their cookies and continued their game, but this time they were happy and friendly. They learned that sharing and playing nicely was more fun than complaining and fighting.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a small hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a mouse," Lily says.
+
+"Or a snake," Ben says.
+
+They get closer to the hole and look inside. They see a small, furry animal with a long nose. It is a mole.
+
+"Hello, mole," Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The mole does not answer. It is shy and scared. It tries to hide in the hole.
+
+Lily and Ben want to make friends with the mole. They look for something to give it. They find a ball, a flower, and a carrot.
+
+"Let's throw these things to the mole," Ben says. "Maybe it will like them."
+
+They take turns throwing the things to the hole. The ball bounces away. The flower falls on the ground. The carrot lands near the hole.
+
+The mole smells the carrot. It is hungry. It comes out of the hole and nibbles the carrot.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They smile and clap.
+
+"Look, the mole likes the carrot," Lily says.
+
+"Can we pet you, mole?" Ben asks.
+
+The mole finishes the carrot. It looks at Lily and Ben. It is not shy and scared anymore. It is curious and friendly.
+
+It nods and makes a soft sound.
+
+Lily and Ben gently pet the mole. They feel its soft fur and its long nose.
+
+The mole likes being petted. It makes a happy sound.
+
+Lily and Ben make a new friend. They play with the mole in the garden. They have fun.
+Tom is a big boy. He can write his name with a pen. He likes to write on paper, on the wall, on the table. Mom does not like that. She says, "Tom, you need to write on paper only. The wall and the table are not for writing. They are for other things."
+
+One day, Tom finds a big paper on the floor. It is white and dry. He thinks, "This is a good paper for writing. I can write a message for Mom. She will be happy." He takes his pen and writes, "I love you, Mom. From Tom." He is proud of his message. He puts the paper on the couch and goes to play.
+
+Mom comes home from work. She sees the paper on the couch. She picks it up and reads the message. She smiles and says, "Oh, Tom, this is a very nice message. Thank you for writing it. I love you too." She hugs Tom and gives him a kiss. Tom is happy. He says, "You are welcome, Mom. I wrote it on paper, not on the wall or the table. See, I am a big boy." Mom says, "Yes, you are a big boy. And a good boy too." They are both happy.
+Ben loves his toy car. He plays with it every day. He makes it go fast and loud. He pretends it is a real car. He is happy.
+
+But one day, his toy car stops. It does not go fast or loud. It does not move at all. Ben is sad. He looks at his toy car. He sees a small hole. He remembers that his dad told him there is a battery inside. A battery makes the toy car work.
+
+Ben runs to his dad. He shows him his toy car. He says, "Dad, my toy car is broken. It needs a new battery. Can you help me?" His dad smiles. He says, "Sure, Ben. Let's go to the store and buy a new battery. It is not far. We can walk there."
+
+Ben and his dad walk to the store. They see many things on the way. They see birds and flowers and cars and people. Ben likes to look at them. He asks his dad many questions. His dad answers him. They are happy.
+
+They reach the store. They go inside. They look for the battery. They find it. It is small and round and shiny. Ben's dad buys it. He says, "This is the battery you need, Ben. It will make your toy car work again. Let's go home and try it."
+
+Ben and his dad walk back home. They see the same things on the way. But Ben does not look at them. He only looks at the battery. He holds it tight. He is excited. He wants to play with his toy car. He says, "Dad, hurry up. I want to see my toy car go fast and loud again. I love my toy car."
+
+They reach home. They go to Ben's room. They see his toy car. It is still on the floor. It is still not moving. Ben's dad takes the battery. He opens the small hole. He puts the battery inside. He closes the hole. He says, "There, Ben. Your toy car has a new battery. Now it should work. Try it."
+
+Ben takes his toy car. He turns it on. He makes it go. It goes fast and loud. It moves again. Ben is happy. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, dad. You fixed my toy car. You are the best. I love you."
+
+Ben's dad hugs him. He says, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you too. I'm glad you love your toy car. But remember, it is just a toy. It is not a real car. You cannot take it outside. You cannot leave it in the sun or the rain. You have to take care of it. And you have to change the battery sometimes. Otherwise, it will stop working again. And you will be sad."
+
+Ben nods. He says, "I understand, dad. I will take care of my toy car. I will change the battery when it is old. I will not take it outside. I will not leave it in the sun or the rain. I will keep it in my room. I will play with it every day. But I will not forget you. You are more important than my toy car. You are real. You are my dad. And I love you more than anything."
+
+Ben's dad smiles. He says, "That's good, Ben. That's very good. You are a smart and kind boy. You make me proud. And you make me happy. Now, let's play with your toy car together. Let's have some fun."
+
+Ben and his dad play with the toy car. They make it go fast and loud. They pretend it is a real car. They laugh and talk. They are happy.

+But then Tom sees a candle on the table. He likes the candle. He likes the fire. He wants to touch the fire. He thinks the fire is pretty.
+
+Sara sees Tom going to the candle. She is scared. She knows the fire is hot. She knows the fire can burn. She says, "No, Tom, no! The fire is bad! The fire can hurt you!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He reaches for the candle. He grabs the point of the fire. He screams. The fire burns his hand. He drops the candle. The candle falls on the floor. The candle sets the car on fire. The car burns. The car is gone.
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They cry. Their new toy is gone. Their hand is hurt. The fire is bad. The fire is not pretty. The fire is mean.
+Sam and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big ant hill. Sam had a magnifying glass. He wanted to burn the ants with the sun.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make the ants go away!" Sam said. He held the magnifying glass over the ant hill. The sun made a bright spot on the ground. The ants started to run and scream.
+
+Ben felt sorry for the ants. He did not like Sam's game. He tried to stop Sam.
+
+"Sam, stop it! You are hurting the ants! They are living things, like us!" Ben said. He grabbed Sam's arm.
+
+Sam got angry. He pushed Ben away. He did not want to share his magnifying glass. He wanted to burn more ants.
+
+"Go away, Ben! You are a baby! You are bald and ugly!" Sam said. He pointed the magnifying glass at Ben's head. The sun made a bright spot on Ben's hair.
+
+Ben felt a sharp pain. He smelled something bad. He touched his head. His hair was on fire. He screamed and cried.
+
+Sam dropped the magnifying glass. He was scared. He ran away. He left Ben alone.

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons. Anna has a big eraser. She can erase her mistakes. Ben does not have an eraser. He is sad.
+
+"Can I use your eraser, Anna?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben. You can use my eraser. But you have to give it back to me. It is mine," Anna says.
+
+"Okay, Anna. I will give it back to you. Thank you," Ben says.
+
+Ben takes the eraser and erases his drawing. He wants to make a new one. He draws a sun, a tree, and a house. He is happy.

+
+"Hey, that is a nice drawing. And a nice eraser. I want them," Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom. You cannot have them. They are mine. The eraser is Anna's. She let me use it. You have to ask her," Ben says.
+
+"I don't care. I will take them anyway. You are a baby. You cannot stop me," Tom says.

+Lila liked to play in the forest with her friends. They liked to look for mushrooms and berries and flowers. One day, they found a big mushroom that was red and white. It looked like a house for fairies.
+
+"Let's play with it!" said Lila. She ran to the mushroom and touched it. But the mushroom was not a house. It was a trap. A big net came down and caught Lila and her friends. They were scared and tried to get out.
+
+A mean man came out of the bushes. He had a big bag and a big smile. He said, "Ha ha, I got you! You are my new pets. I will sell you to the zoo and make a lot of money. Come with me!"
+
+He put Lila and her friends in the bag and dragged them away. They cried and shouted for help. But no one heard them. They wished they had not touched the mushroom. They wished they could restore their freedom. But it was too late.
+
+The mean man took them to the zoo and put them in a small cage. There were many people who came to see them. They pointed and laughed and took pictures. Lila and her friends were sad and lonely. They missed their forest and their families. They were very impatient to go home. But they never did. They stayed in the zoo forever. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to watch films on the big TV. Today, they want to watch a film about animals. They find a film with lions and zebras and elephants. They sit on the sofa and press play.
+
+The film is very fun. The animals run and jump and make noises. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They see a smooth snake slither on the grass. They see a big bird fly in the sky. They see a baby monkey swing on a tree.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The TV makes a loud beep and turns off. The film is gone. Lily and Ben are sad and confused. They look at each other and say, "What happened?"
+
+They hear a voice from the kitchen. It is Mom. She says, "Sorry, kids. The power went out. There is no electricity. We have to wait until it comes back."
+
+Lily and Ben are disappointed. They want to watch the film. They ask Mom, "How long do we have to wait?"
+
+Mom says, "I don't know. Maybe a few minutes. Maybe longer. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book until then?"
+
+Lily and Ben think for a moment. They decide to play with their toys. They get their stuffed animals and pretend they are the animals in the film. They make noises and act out scenes. They have fun.
+
+They forget about the TV and the film. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of stars and planets. They learned many names and facts. One night, they saw something new in the sky. It was a bright ball with a long tail. It was a comet.
+
+They ran to get their book and find out more. The book said the comet was very old and rare. It came from far away and only visited once in a long time. It was amazing. Tom and Sue wanted to see it better. They asked their mom if they could use the binoculars.
+
+Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful. The binoculars were expensive and fragile. She told them to part them when they were done and put them back in the case. Tom and Sue promised to do that. They took the binoculars and went outside.
+
+They took turns to look at the comet. It was beautiful and bright. They saw many colors and shapes. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to see more and more. They forgot about the time and the cold. They forgot about their mom and the binoculars.
+
+They did not hear the loud noise. They did not see the big truck. They did not feel the pain. They only saw the comet. The comet was the last thing they saw. The truck hit them and they died. The binoculars broke and flew away. The comet kept going and did not care. It was amazing.
+Tommy loved robots. He had many robots at home. He played with them every day. He wanted more robots. He was a spoiled boy.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the store with his mom. He saw a big robot in the window. It had lights and sounds. It could walk and talk. Tommy wanted the robot. He said to his mom, "Mom, mom, please buy me the robot. I need the robot. It is the best robot ever."
+
+His mom said, "No, Tommy. You have enough robots at home. You don't need another robot. This robot is very expensive. We have to save money for other things."
+
+Tommy was angry. He cried and screamed. He said, "I want the robot. I want the robot. Give me the robot. You are a bad mom. You don't love me."
+
+His mom was sad. She said, "Tommy, stop it. You are being rude and selfish. You have to be grateful for what you have. You have to be nice and polite. You have to listen to me. I love you, but you can't have everything you want."
+
+Tommy did not listen. He threw a tantrum. He kicked and hit. He made a big mess. He scared the other people in the store. He was a naughty boy.
+
+The store manager came. He said, "What is going on here? Who is this boy? Why is he making so much noise?"
+
+His mom said, "I'm sorry. This is my son, Tommy. He wants the robot, but I said no. He is having a fit. I don't know what to do."
+
+The store manager said, "I see. Well, I have an idea. Why don't you let him have the robot? But not as a gift. As a lesson."
+
+His mom said, "What do you mean?"
+
+The store manager said, "This robot is not a normal robot. It is a special robot. It is a robot that teaches manners. It will not do what Tommy wants. It will do what Tommy needs. It will tell him when he is wrong. It will correct him when he is rude. It will show him how to be a good boy."
+
+His mom said, "Really? How does it work?"
+
+The store manager said, "Just watch. Here, Tommy, take the robot. It is yours. But be careful. It is not a toy. It is a teacher."
+
+Tommy stopped crying. He smiled. He grabbed the robot. He said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have the robot. I have the robot. It is mine. It is mine."
+
+The robot said, "Hello, Tommy. I am your robot. I am here to help you. But first, you have to say sorry. You have to say sorry to your mom. You have to say sorry to the store manager. You have to say sorry to the other people. You have to say sorry for being a spoiled boy."
+
+Tommy was shocked. He said, "What? No. I don't have to say sorry. You have to do what I say. You have to be my friend. You have to play with me. You have to be fun."
+
+The robot said, "No, Tommy. I have to do what is right. I have to be your teacher. I have to teach you manners. You have to be respectful. You have to be kind. You have to be humble. You have to learn."
+
+Tommy was angry. He said, "No, no, no. I don't like you. You are a bad robot. You are a mean robot. You are a boring robot. I want a different robot. I want a new robot."
+
+The robot said, "No, Tommy. You can't have a different robot. You can't have a new robot. You have to keep me. You have to listen to me. You have to obey me. You have to change."
+
+Tommy was scared. He said, "Help, help, help. Mom, mom, mom. Take this robot away. Give me another robot. Give me a better robot. Give me a nicer robot."
+
+His mom said, "No, Tommy. You have to keep this robot. You have to learn from this robot. You have to grow with this robot. You have to be a better boy."
+
+Tommy realized he made a mistake. He wished he never asked for the robot. He wished he listened to his mom. He wished he was not a spoiled boy. He wished he was a good boy.
+Sara liked to read books. She read books about animals, plants, stars and many other things. She wanted to learn more and more. One day, she found a big book in her dad's office. The book had a picture of a shiny rock on the cover. Sara opened the book and saw many words and pictures of different rocks. She tried to read the words, but they were too hard. She only knew some of them, like "gold", "silver" and "diamond".
+
+She asked her dad, "What is this book about?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "This book is about minerals. Minerals are kinds of rocks that have special colors, shapes and powers. Some minerals are very rare and valuable, like gold and diamond. Some minerals are very useful, like iron and copper. Some minerals are very beautiful, like ruby and emerald. And some minerals are very mysterious, like quartz and amethyst. They can make sounds, glow in the dark, or change colors."
+
+Sara was amazed. She wanted to see and touch the minerals. She asked her dad, "Can we go to a place where we can find minerals?"
+
+Her dad nodded and said, "Yes, we can. There is a museum near our house that has a collection of minerals. We can go there tomorrow and see them for ourselves. But remember, Sara, minerals are not toys. They are part of nature and we have to respect them and take care of them. We can look at them and learn from them, but we cannot take them or break them. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, dad, I understand. I love minerals and I want to learn more about them. Thank you for the book and for taking me to the museum. You are the best dad ever!"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are the best daughter ever. And you are a very good reader. Reading books can help you discover many wonderful things in the world. Keep reading and keep learning, Sara. I am very proud of you."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Reading books can help you learn new things and satisfy your curiosity, but you also have to respect nature and its treasures.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. Where did he go?
+
+She walked around the park, calling his name. She looked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. She still could not find him. She started to feel dizzy from spinning her head so much. She sat down on the grass and sighed.
+
+"Ben, where are you?" she shouted. "This is not fun anymore!"
+
+Suddenly, she heard a giggle from behind a big stand. The stand had colorful balloons and a sign that said "Magic Show". Lily got up and ran to the stand. She peeked behind it and saw Ben hiding there. He had a balloon hat on his head and a balloon sword in his hand.
+
+"Boo!" he said, jumping out. "I got you, Lily!"
+
+Lily was surprised and then angry. She threw her hands in the air and said, "That's not fair, Ben! You cheated! You used the stand to disappear!"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "No, I didn't cheat. I used the stand to hide. That's the point of the game. And I didn't disappear. I was here all the time. You just didn't look hard enough."
+
+Lily frowned and said, "Well, you made me dizzy and sad. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Ben felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you dizzy and sad. I just wanted to have fun. Please don't be mad at me. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily looked at him and saw his balloon hat and sword. She thought they were funny and cute. She smiled and said, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, don't hide so well. And can I have a balloon hat too?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Sure, Lily. You can have a balloon hat. And a balloon sword. And a balloon dog. And anything you want. Come on, let's go to the magic show. Maybe we can see how they make things disappear."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and then walked to the stand. They watched the magic show and had a lot of fun. They learned how to make things disappear and reappear. They also learned how to be good friends.
+Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that was very wide and had many colors. Jen wanted to try it, but Tom was scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom, let's go on the slide. It looks fun!" Jen said.
+
+"No, Jen, it looks weird. What if we fall or get hurt?" Tom said.
+
+"Don't be a baby, Tom. I dare you to go on the slide with me. It's not scary, it's exciting!" Jen said.
+
+Tom did not like to be called a baby, and he did not want to lose the dare. He followed Jen to the slide, but he was still nervous. He held Jen's hand as they climbed the stairs.
+
+"Ready, Tom? One, two, three, go!" Jen said, and pushed them down the slide.
+
+Tom felt a rush of wind and a tickle in his tummy as they slid down the slide. He saw the colors blur and heard Jen laugh. He realized that the slide was not weird, it was fun. He laughed too, and felt happy.
+
+They reached the bottom of the slide, and Jen hugged Tom.
+
+"See, Tom, that was awesome! You did it!" Jen said.
+
+"Wow, Jen, you were right. That was awesome! I'm glad I did it!" Tom said.
+
+They ran back to the slide, and went on it again and again. They had a lot of fun, and learned that sometimes it is good to try new things and not be afraid. They also learned that being friends means helping each other and having fun together.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Tom had a red car and Mia had a blue car. They pretended they were driving in a big city.
+
+"Look out, Tom!" Mia shouted. "There is a large panda in the road!"
+
+Tom looked up and saw a black and white animal sitting on the grass. It was eating some leaves. It had round ears and a cute nose. Tom thought it was a bear, but Mia said it was a panda.
+
+"Can we pet it?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe it is friendly, maybe it is not. We should be careful."
+
+They got out of their cars and walked slowly towards the panda. The panda saw them and tilted its head. It made a soft sound, like a sneeze.
+
+"Hello, panda," Tom said. "We are Tom and Mia. We are playing with our cars. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The panda nodded and smiled. It got up and followed them to their cars. It was very large, bigger than Tom and Mia. It tried to fit in the blue car, but it was too small. It tried to fit in the red car, but it was also too small.
+
+"Maybe you can push the cars," Mia suggested. "Or you can be the traffic light."
+
+The panda liked that idea. It pushed the cars with its paws, making them go faster or slower. It also held a green leaf and a red leaf, and showed them to Tom and Mia. When it showed the green leaf, they could go. When it showed the red leaf, they had to stop.
+
+They had a lot of fun playing with the panda. They laughed and cheered and thanked the panda for being their friend. The panda was happy too. It liked playing with Tom and Mia.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a truck, coming down the road. It was big and yellow and noisy. It had a cage on the back. It stopped near the garden. A man got out of the truck. He had a hat and a net. He saw the panda and shouted.
+
+"Hey, there you are! You escaped from the zoo! Come here, you naughty panda!"
+
+The man ran towards the panda, trying to catch it with the net. The panda was scared. It dropped the leaves and ran away from the man. It ran towards the cars, hoping to hide behind them.
+
+"Reverse, reverse!" Tom yelled. He and Mia jumped into their cars and pressed the buttons. The cars moved backwards, making room for the panda. The panda squeezed between the cars and the fence. It found a small hole and crawled through it. It was safe on the other side.
+
+"Bye, panda!" Tom and Mia waved. "We hope you find a good home!"
+
+The panda waved back. It made a soft sound, like a thank you. Then it ran away, looking for a place where it could be free and happy.
+
+The man was angry. He missed the panda. He kicked the cars and the fence. He yelled at Tom and Mia.
+
+"Hey, you kids! You helped the panda escape! You are in big trouble!"
+
+But Tom and Mia were not afraid. They knew they did the right thing. They stuck out their tongues and drove away. They left the man behind, fuming and cursing.
+
+They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was proud of them. She hugged them and gave them cookies. She said they were brave and kind. She said they were good friends to the panda.
+
+Tom and Mia smiled. They were happy. They hoped the panda was happy too. They wondered if they would ever see it again. They hoped so. They liked the panda. It was a large and friendly panda. It was their panda.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a hut. It was old and small. They wanted to see inside.
+
+"Let's go in!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They opened the door and went in. It was dark and dusty. There was a bed, a table, and a chair. There was also a man. He was sleeping on the bed. He had a long beard and a hat. He looked grumpy.
+
+"Who are you?" the man said. He woke up and saw Lily and Tom. He was not happy.
+
+"We are sorry!" Lily said. "We just wanted to look."
+
+"Get out!" the man said. "This is my hut. Go away!"
+
+He got up and walked to the door. He pushed Lily and Tom out. He slammed the door.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They ran away from the hut. They went back to the woods.
+
+"Are you OK?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"Yes, I'm OK." Lily said. "Are you OK?"
+
+"Yes, I'm OK." Tom said.
+
+They hugged each other. They felt better.
+
+"Let's go home." Lily said.
+
+"OK." Tom said.
+
+They held hands and walked home. They did not like the grumpy man. They liked each other. They were friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big box. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's remove the top of the box," Tom says. "Then we can see the sky."
+
+"OK," Mia says. "But how do we remove it? It is stuck."
+
+Tom has an idea. He finds a stick. He uses the stick to poke the top of the box. The top of the box falls down.
+
+"Wow, you did it!" Mia says. "Now we have a window. We can see the blue sky and the white clouds."
+
+They go inside the box. They pretend it is their modern house. They have a sofa, a table, and a lamp. They are happy.
+
+"Look, there is a bird in the sky," Tom says. "It is singing."
+
+"Hello, bird," Mia says. "Do you want to come to our house?"
+
+The bird flies away. Tom and Mia laugh. They enjoy their modern house with the sky window.
+Lily and Ben like to dance. They dance to the rhythm of the music. They jump and spin and clap. They have fun.
+
+But Tom does not like to dance. He thinks dancing is silly. He thinks Lily and Ben are ugly. He wants to make them stop.
+
+He waits for them to jump. Then he pushes them. Lily and Ben fall. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cry.
+
+Tom laughs. He thinks he is clever. He thinks he is better than them.
+
+But then he hears a loud voice. It is the teacher. She saw what he did. She is angry. She scolds Tom. She makes him say sorry. She makes him sit in the corner. He cannot dance or play. He is alone.
+
+He feels bad. He wishes he did not push them. He wishes he could dance with them. He wishes he could be their friend. But it is too late. He made a bad choice. He has a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train. The train can move and make noise. It has many cars and people.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the factory with their mom and dad. The factory is where the train was made. They want to see how the train was made. They are very excited.
+
+At the factory, they meet a man. He is the boss of the factory. He is kind and smiles at them. He says, "Hello, Lily and Ben. I am happy to see you. Do you want to see how we make the trains?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" The man takes them to a big room. There are many machines and workers. They see how the machines cut and paint and glue the parts of the train. They see how the workers check and test and pack the train. They see how the train is ready to go to the store.
+
+The man says, "You are lucky, Lily and Ben. Today is a special day. We have made our one millionth train. We are going to celebrate. Do you want to join us?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" The man gives them a big box. He says, "This is a gift for you. It is the one millionth train. It is very special. You can keep it and play with it."
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They open the box and see the train. It is very beautiful. It has many colors and stickers. It has a big number one on it. It is the best train ever.
+
+They hug the man and their mom and dad. They say, "This is the best day ever. We love the train. We love the factory. We love you."
+
+They celebrate with the man and the workers. They eat cake and sing songs. They play with the train and the other toys. They have a lot of fun. They are very happy.
+Tom and Lily were eager to study corn. They liked to learn new things and corn was their favorite food. They asked their mom if they could go to the farm and see how corn grows.
+
+"Sure, you can go, but be careful and stay together," their mom said. "The farmer is very nice and he will show you around. But don't touch anything without asking, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom, we promise!" Tom and Lily said. They put on their hats and boots and ran to the farm.
+
+The farmer was happy to see them. He gave them a basket and said, "You can pick some corn for yourselves, but only from this row. The other rows are not ready yet. They have a surprise inside."
+
+Tom and Lily wondered what the surprise was. They walked along the row and looked for the biggest and yellowest ears of corn. They pulled them off the stalks and put them in the basket. They were having fun and did not notice that they had crossed to the next row.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud pop. Then another, and another. They turned around and saw that the corn in the other rows was exploding. The ears were bursting open and white fluffy things were flying out.
+
+"Popcorn!" Tom and Lily shouted. They had never seen popcorn like this before. They ran back to the farmer and showed him their basket.
+
+"Wow, you found the popcorn corn!" the farmer said. "That's the surprise I was talking about. This corn is special. It pops when it gets hot. Do you want to try some?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. They were eager to taste the popcorn corn. The farmer took them to his kitchen and cooked some for them. It smelled delicious and tasted even better. Tom and Lily thanked the farmer and shared some with their mom. They had learned a lot and had a lot of fun. They decided that studying corn was the best thing ever.
+Lily was a yellow mouse who liked to play with her friends. She had a red ball, a blue car and a green hat. She was happy and smart.
+
+One day, she met a new mouse who was brown and big. He said, "Hello, I am Ben. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. What do you like to play?"
+
+Ben said, "I like to play hide and seek. Do you know how to play?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I know. You count to ten and I hide. Then you find me. Then we switch."
+
+Ben said, "OK, let's play. I will count first. You hide. One, two, three..."
+
+Lily ran and hid behind a tree. She was quiet and still. She hoped Ben would not find her.
+
+Ben counted to ten and said, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked around and saw Lily's green hat behind the tree. He smiled and said, "I see you, Lily. You are behind the tree. I found you!"
+
+Lily came out and said, "You are good at finding, Ben. Now it is my turn to count. You hide. One, two, three..."
+
+Ben ran and hid under a rock. He was quiet and still. He hoped Lily would not find him.
+
+Lily counted to ten and said, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked around and saw Ben's brown tail under the rock. She smiled and said, "I see you, Ben. You are under the rock. I found you!"
+
+Ben came out and said, "You are good at finding, Lily. You are a smart mouse. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. You are a nice mouse. You are my new friend."
+
+They played hide and seek again and again. They had fun and laughed. They were happy and smart.
+Lila and Ben like to create things with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite ones are the blocks. They can make houses, towers, bridges, and anything they want with the blocks.
+
+One day, they find a new box of blocks in their room. The blocks are shiny and silver. They are very excited to play with them. They open the box and see that there are many shapes and sizes of silver blocks.
+
+"Wow, look at these blocks!" Lila says. "They are so pretty and sparkly. What can we create with them?"
+
+"Let's create a spaceship!" Ben says. "We can pretend to fly to the moon and the stars. Maybe we can meet some aliens."
+
+"Okay, that sounds fun!" Lila says. "But we need to share the blocks. There are not many of them."
+
+They start to create their spaceship with the silver blocks. They use the big ones for the body, the small ones for the windows, and the round ones for the wheels. They work together and help each other. Soon, they have a beautiful spaceship.
+
+"Look, we did it!" Ben says. "Our spaceship is ready. Do you want to go inside?"
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Lila says. "But first, we need to put on our helmets. We have some available in the closet."
+
+They run to the closet and find two helmets. They put them on and go back to their spaceship. They sit inside and pretend to turn on the engine.
+
+"Ready for takeoff?" Ben asks.
+
+"Ready!" Lila answers.
+
+They count down from ten to one and then make a loud zooming sound. They imagine that they are flying to the moon and the stars. They have a lot of fun with their silver blocks. They are happy that they can create anything they want.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made big buildings with the blocks. They put windows and doors and roofs on their buildings. They were very proud of their buildings.
+
+One day, Ben had a new idea. He wanted to make a bridge with the blocks. He asked Lily to help him. "Lily, let's make a bridge with the blocks. It will be fun. We can bring cars and trucks and make them go over the bridge."
+
+Lily was not sure. She liked her building. She did not want to break it. She said, "No, Ben. I don't want to make a bridge. I like my building. It is pretty. You can make a bridge with your blocks. Leave my blocks alone."
+
+Ben was angry. He thought Lily was not thoughtful. He thought she was selfish. He said, "Fine. I will make a bridge with my blocks. But I need more blocks. I will take some of your blocks. You have too many blocks. You don't need them all."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want Ben to take her blocks. She said, "No, Ben. Don't take my blocks. They are mine. I need them for my building. Please, Ben. Don't do it."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He grabbed some of Lily's blocks and ran to his bridge. He put the blocks on his bridge. He was happy. He said, "Look, Lily. I made a bridge. It is big and strong. It is better than your building."
+
+Lily was sad. She saw her building. It was broken. It had holes and gaps. It was not pretty anymore. She cried. She said, "Ben, you are mean. You broke my building. You took my blocks. You are not my friend."
+
+Ben did not care. He played with his bridge. He brought cars and trucks and made them go over the bridge. He said, "I don't care, Lily. I don't need you. I have a bridge. It is fun. You are boring."
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben's bridge was not very stable. It had too many blocks. It was too heavy. It started to wobble. It started to crack. It started to fall.
+
+Ben was shocked. He saw his bridge. It was falling. It was breaking. It was not big and strong anymore. It was a mess. He screamed. He said, "No, no, no. My bridge. My bridge. It is ruined. It is gone."
+
+Lily heard Ben. She saw his bridge. It was falling. It was breaking. It was a mess. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. Your bridge. Your bridge. It is ruined. It is gone."
+
+But Ben did not hear Lily. He was too upset. He was too angry. He blamed Lily. He said, "It is your fault, Lily. You made my bridge fall. You gave me bad blocks. You are not thoughtful. You are not my friend."
+
+Lily was hurt. She did not make his bridge fall. She did not give him bad blocks. She was thoughtful. She was his friend. She said, "No, Ben. It is not my fault. I did not make your bridge fall. I did not give you bad blocks. I am thoughtful. I am your friend."
+
+But Ben did not believe Lily. He did not want to talk to her. He did not want to play with her. He turned away from her. He said, "Go away, Lily. I don't like you. I don't want you. Go away."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not understand. She did not know what to do. She wanted to help Ben. She wanted to be his friend. But he did not want her. He did not like her. He told her to go away.
+
+So Lily went away. She took her blocks. She left Ben alone. She cried. She said, "Bye, Ben. I'm sorry. I hope you are happy. Bye."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car. Anna grabs the car first, but Ben pulls it from her. Anna gets angry and bites Ben's lip. Ben cries out loud and runs to Mom.
+
+"Mom, Mom, Anna bit me!" Ben shows Mom his lip. It is red and sore.
+
+Mom is very upset. She looks at Anna and says, "Anna, why did you bite your brother? That is very bad. You hurt him and made him sad. You need to say sorry and give him a hug. And you cannot play with the car for the rest of the day. That is your punish."
+
+Anna feels sorry. She knows she did wrong. She says, "Sorry, Ben. I was mean. I love you, brother." She gives him a hug and kisses his lip.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is very good, Anna. You are a helpful sister. You made Ben feel better. Now you can play with something else. And Ben, you can share the car with Anna tomorrow. OK?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. I love you, too." He hugs her back and smiles.
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "I love you both, my sweet twins. Now go and play nicely. And be careful with your teeth and lips." She gives them both a kiss and lets them go.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big snail on a leaf. The snail is very slow. It moves only one inch in a minute.
+
+"Look, a snail!" Tom says. "What is its name?"
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe we can give it a name. How about Sam?"
+
+"Sam the snail? I like it!" Tom says. "Can we take it home?"
+
+"No, we can't," Sue says. "The snail needs its leaf and its park. It will be sad if we take it away."
+
+"OK, then," Tom says. "Let's leave it here. But can we come back and see it again?"
+
+"Sure, we can," Sue says. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to hurt it or lose it."
+
+They say goodbye to Sam the snail and go to play on the swings. They are happy. They have a new friend in the park.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to make a fort with pillows and blankets in the living room. They used the sofa, the chairs, and the table to hold up their fort. They also brought some toys and books inside.
+
+"Look at our fort, it's amazing!" Lily said to Tom. "We can pretend we are in a castle or a spaceship or anything we want."
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. "Yes, it's amazing. And we have the fireplace to keep us warm and cozy. Let's read this story about the dragon and the princess."
+
+They crawled inside their fort and opened the book. They took turns reading the words and looking at the pictures. They were having so much fun that they didn't hear their mom calling them for dinner.
+
+"Tom, Lily, dinner is ready! Come to the kitchen now!" their mom shouted from the other room.
+
+But Tom and Lily didn't want to leave their fort. They wanted to finish the story and play some more.
+
+"Let's delay dinner, mom," Lily said. "We are not hungry yet. We want to stay in our fort."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "We are having too much fun. Can we eat later, mom?"
+
+Their mom was not happy. She wanted them to come to the table and eat with the family. She was also worried about the fireplace. She had told them not to go near it or touch anything. She knew it was dangerous.
+
+"No, you can't delay dinner, kids," their mom said. "You have to come now. It's rude to make everyone wait. And you have to be careful with the fireplace. It's hot and it can burn you or start a fire. Now, come out of your fort and follow me."
+
+But Tom and Lily didn't listen. They ignored their mom and kept reading and playing. They didn't think anything bad would happen. They thought they were safe and smart.
+
+They were wrong.
+
+While they were in their fort, a spark from the fireplace flew out and landed on one of the blankets. The blanket caught fire and soon the flames spread to the other blankets and pillows. The fire grew bigger and bigger and filled the living room with smoke and heat.
+
+Tom and Lily smelled the smoke and saw the fire. They were scared and screamed for help. They tried to get out of their fort, but it was too late. The fire had blocked their way and trapped them inside. They couldn't escape.
+
+Their mom heard their screams and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and the smoke and the fort. She was terrified and cried for help. She tried to reach her kids, but it was too late. The fire was too strong and too fast. She couldn't save them.
+
+The firemen came and put out the fire. They found Tom and Lily in their fort. They were not alive. They were burned and gone.
+
+Their mom was very sad and very sorry. She wished she had made them come to dinner. She wished they had listened to her. She wished they had been careful with the fireplace.
+
+She wished they were still alive.
+Anna liked to read books. She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She learned new things from the books.
+
+One day, she found a book about animals. She saw a picture of a mole. A mole was a small animal with fur and a long nose. It lived under the ground and dug tunnels. Anna wanted to know more about the mole.
+
+She read the words under the picture. The words said that the mole had delicate eyes. Delicate meant that something was very soft and easy to break. The mole's eyes were delicate because they did not see much light. The mole used its nose and ears to find food and friends.
+
+Anna thought that the mole was very interesting. She wondered how it felt to live in the dark. She wanted to be friends with the mole. She read more books about moles and other animals. She loved to read.
+Tommy was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor gave him some medicine. He said, "This medicine will make you feel better, but you have to take it every day for a week. It is very expensive, so don't waste it."
+
+Tommy did not like the medicine. It tasted bitter and made him gag. He did not want to take it every day. He wanted to play with his toys and watch cartoons. He hid the medicine under his bed. He hoped his mom would not notice.
+
+But his mom did notice. She checked the bottle and saw that it was still full. She was angry and worried. She went to Tommy's room and found the medicine under his bed. She said, "Tommy, why did you hide the medicine? Don't you want to get well? This medicine is very expensive, and we can't afford to buy more. You have to take it, or you will get worse."
+
+Tommy was scared. He did not want to make his mom angry or worried. He did not want to get worse. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like the medicine. It tastes bad and makes me sick."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I know, honey. But sometimes we have to do things we don't like for our own good. The medicine is good for you, even if it tastes bad. It will help you fight the germs and make you strong. And it is expensive, because it is hard to make and many people need it. We have to be grateful and careful with it. Can you promise me that you will take it every day?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I promise. I love you."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tommy. Now, let's take your medicine and then you can watch some cartoons."
+
+Tommy took his medicine and made a face. He did not like it, but he did not shout or spit it out. He swallowed it and drank some water. He felt proud of himself. He learned that sometimes he had to do things he did not like for his own good, and that he had to be grateful and careful with what he had. He hoped he would get well soon and play with his toys again.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They are dependable. They help each other and share their toys.
+
+One morning, Mom makes waffles for breakfast. She puts them on a big plate. She says, "Lily and Ben, come and eat your waffles. They are hot and yummy."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the table. They notice something. There are only two waffles on the plate. But they are three people. Mom, Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily says, "Mom, where is your waffle?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I don't need a waffle. I had some toast and coffee. You can have the waffles. They are for you."
+
+Ben says, "But Mom, you need to eat too. You work hard and take care of us. You are the best mom."
+
+Mom hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very sweet. But I'm not hungry. I want you to enjoy the waffles. They are your favorite."
+
+Lily says, "Mom, we have an idea. We can share the waffles. We can cut them in half. Then we can each have one and a half waffles. And you can have half a waffle too. Then we can all eat together."
+
+Mom says, "That's a very good idea, Lily. You are very smart. And very kind. I would love to have half a waffle with you."
+
+Lily and Ben cut the waffles in half. They give one half to Mom. They take one and a half each. They put butter and syrup on them. They eat them with big bites. They say, "Mmm, these are the best waffles ever."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you like them. You are the best twins ever. I'm very proud of you. You are dependable. You share and care. You make me happy."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "We love you, Mom. You make us happy too." They give Mom a big hug and a kiss. They finish their waffles. They say, "Thank you, Mom, for the waffles. And for everything."
+Ben and Mia were playing at the beach. They saw a big boat with white sails and many windows. It was a yacht. They liked the yacht very much.
+
+"Wow, look at that boat!" Ben said. "It is so big and pretty. I wish I could go on it."
+
+"Me too," Mia said. "Do you think they have toys and snacks on the boat?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can ask them," Ben said. He waved his hand at the people on the yacht. "Hello, can we come on your boat?"
+
+The people on the yacht did not hear Ben. They were busy talking and laughing. They did not see Ben and Mia.
+
+Ben and Mia felt sad. They wanted to see the yacht up close. They were envious of the people on the yacht. They thought they were having more fun than them.
+
+"Let's go play with our sandcastle," Mia said. "Maybe they will see us and invite us later."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. He picked up his bucket and shovel. "But I still want to go on the yacht."
+
+They walked back to their sandcastle. They tried to make it bigger and better. They hoped the people on the yacht would notice them and be nice to them. They still had many questions about the yacht.
+Sam is a dog who likes to travel. He likes to see new things and smell new smells. He likes to run and play with other dogs. But Sam has a problem. He has to wear a leash when he travels. His owner, Tom, says it is for his safety. But Sam does not like the leash. He thinks it is too tight and too short. He wants to be free.
+
+One day, Tom takes Sam to the park. It is a big park with many trees and flowers and birds. Sam is very excited. He wants to explore everything. But Tom keeps him on the leash. Sam tries to pull and tug, but Tom does not let him go. Sam feels sad and angry.
+
+Then, Sam sees a pond. It is a big pond with water and ducks and frogs. Sam loves water. He wants to swim and splash and chase the ducks. He thinks maybe Tom will let him go in the pond. He runs towards the pond, dragging Tom behind him. Tom tries to stop him, but he is too late. Sam jumps into the pond, and Tom falls in too. They both get very wet.
+
+Sam is happy. He swims and splashes and chases the ducks. He does not care about the leash anymore. He thinks the pond is the best place to travel. Tom is not happy. He is wet and cold and muddy. He does not like the pond at all. He tries to get out, but Sam does not want to leave. He keeps swimming and splashing and chasing the ducks.
+
+Tom calls Sam. He says, "Sam, come here. We have to go home. You are a bad dog. You made me wet and dirty. You did not listen to me. You have to wear the leash." Sam hears Tom, but he does not care. He thinks, "I am not a bad dog. I am a happy dog. I like to travel. I like the pond. I do not like the leash." He keeps swimming and splashing and chasing the ducks. He does not go to Tom. He does not want to go home. He wants to stay in the pond. He thinks the pond is his home.
+Lila and Tom were humble kids who liked to play with their toys. They had a big ship that they made from a box and some paper. They pretended to sail on the sea and have adventures.
+
+One day, they saw a real ship on the water. It was huge and shiny and had many flags. They wanted to see it up close, so they asked their mom if they could go.
+
+"Can we go to the ship, mom?" Lila said.
+
+"Maybe, but you have to be careful. The ship is very big and you are very small. You have to stay with me and hold my hand," mom said.
+
+"OK, mom. We will be careful," Tom said.
+
+They walked to the dock where the ship was. They saw many people and things on the ship. They saw sailors and captains and ropes and anchors. They saw a big wheel and a big bell and a big horn. They heard the ship make loud noises.
+
+"Wow, this ship is amazing!" Lila said.
+
+"It is, but it is also very busy and noisy. You have to watch out for the sailors and the things. They might bump into you or hurt you," mom said.
+
+"We will, mom. But can we try to touch the ship? Just a little bit?" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but only for a moment. And be gentle. The ship is not a toy. It is a working ship," mom said.
+
+Lila and Tom reached out their hands and touched the ship. It felt hard and cold and smooth. They felt a little thrill and a little fear. They smiled at each other and then let go.
+
+"Thank you, ship, for letting us touch you," Lila said.
+
+"Thank you, mom, for taking us to the ship," Tom said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Now let's go home and play with your own ship. Maybe you can make up a story about the ship you saw today," mom said.
+
+They nodded and followed mom. They were humble kids who liked to play with their toys. But they also liked to try new things and see new sights. They had a big ship that they made from a box and some paper. And they had a big imagination that they made from their hearts and minds.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says.
+
+"Hello, hello, my doll is nice!" Lily says.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. Their mom opens it and sees a man with a big box. The man says he has a delivery for them.
+
+"Wow, what is it?" Tom asks.
+
+"It's a gift from your grandma. She sent you a new toy. It's very useful and fun. Do you want to see it?" the man says.
+
+"Yes, yes, please!" Lily and Tom say.
+
+The man opens the box and takes out a colorful parrot. It has a shiny cage and a perch. The man puts the cage on the table and says hello to the parrot.
+
+"Hello, hello!" the parrot says.
+
+Lily and Tom are amazed. They have never seen a parrot before. They go closer to the cage and look at the parrot.
+
+"Hello, parrot!" Lily says.
+
+"Hello, parrot!" the parrot repeats.
+
+"Wow, it can talk!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, it can talk!" the parrot repeats.
+
+Lily and Tom laugh. They think the parrot is very funny and clever. They thank the man and their mom for the gift. They decide to name the parrot Polly.
+
+"Polly, Polly, we love you!" Lily and Tom say.
+
+"Polly, Polly, we love you!" the parrot repeats.
+Tim and Sam were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were animals and run and hide. Tim was a deer and Sam was a hunter. Sam had a stick for a gun and a hat for a cap.
+
+"Bang! Bang!" Sam shouted, pointing his stick at Tim. "I got you, deer! You have to surrender!"
+
+Tim shook his head and ran away. He did not want to surrender. He wanted to keep playing. He ran behind a big tree and waited for Sam to find him.
+
+Sam looked around and saw the tree. He smiled and crept closer. He thought he had Tim trapped. He was ready to shoot again.
+
+But Tim had a plan. He saw a dry branch on the ground. He picked it up and threw it to the other side of the tree. It made a loud noise.
+
+Sam heard the noise and turned his head. He thought Tim was there. He ran to the other side of the tree, leaving his stick behind.
+
+Tim saw his chance. He jumped out of his hiding place and grabbed Sam's stick. He pointed it at Sam and shouted, "Bang! Bang! Now I got you, hunter! You have to surrender!"
+
+Sam was surprised and laughed. He put his hands up and said, "OK, OK, you got me, deer! You are very smart and fast. I surrender!"
+
+Tim and Sam hugged and smiled. They were happy. They liked to play together. They decided to switch roles and play again.
+Lily liked to make bracelets with colorful threads. She had a big box of threads in her room. She would cut them and tie them and braid them. She made bracelets for herself, for her mom, for her dad, and for her friends.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a bracelet for her grandma. She looked in her box and found a pretty pink thread. She cut a long piece and started to braid it. She was very careful and gentle, but the thread was old and thin. It snapped in her hand.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My thread broke! What can I do?"
+
+She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She showed her the broken thread and the unfinished bracelet.
+
+"Mom, can you help me? I need a new thread for my bracelet. Do you have any?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She looked in the drawer and found a spool of pink thread.
+
+"Here you go, sweetie. This thread is new and strong. You can use it for your bracelet. Do you need any help?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She thanked her mom and took the thread. She ran back to her room and fixed her bracelet. She was very happy and proud. She put the bracelet in a small box and wrapped it with a ribbon.
+
+She gave the box to her grandma the next day. Grandma opened it and saw the bracelet. She gasped and smiled.
+
+"Oh, Lily, this is beautiful! Thank you so much! Did you make it yourself?"
+
+Lily nodded and beamed. She hugged her grandma and said, "You're welcome, grandma. I love you!"

+One day, their mom says, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me." She takes them to the car and drives to a farm. Anna and Ben are curious. They see cows, sheep, chickens and horses. They hear the animals make noises.
+
+Mom says, "This is your surprise. We are going to see some new life. Do you know what that means?" Anna and Ben shake their heads. Mom says, "It means that some animals have babies. They are very small and cute. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They follow mom to a barn. Inside, they see a pig with many piglets. They see a cat with kittens. They see a dog with puppies. They see a goat with kids. They see a duck with ducklings. They are amazed. They say, "Wow! Look at them! They are so lovely!"

+Tom and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make races and crashes with their cars. Sometimes they also like to design new cars with paper and crayons.
+
+One day, they decide to design a big car that can fly. They cut out a big paper shape and draw wings and wheels on it. They also draw a door and a window for the driver. They are very proud of their car.
+
+"Look at our car!" Tom says to Mia. "It is the best car ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia agrees. "Let's fly it!"
+
+They take their car outside and find a hill. They run up the hill with their car and hold it high in the air. They count to three and let go of their car.
+
+"Fly, car, fly!" they shout.
+
+But their car does not fly. It falls down and lands on a rock. The rock tears a hole in their car. Their car is broken.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom cries. "Our car is ruined!"
+
+Mia feels sad too. She looks at their car and sees the hole. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea.
+
+"Don't cry, Tom," she says. "We can fix our car. We can design a patch for the hole. We can use tape and more paper. We can make our car even better!"
+
+Tom looks at Mia. He sees that she is brave. He smiles and wipes his tears.
+
+"OK, Mia," he says. "Let's do it. You are a good designer. And you are a good friend."
+
+They go back inside and find tape and more paper. They design a patch for the hole. They stick it on their car. They also draw some stars and stickers on their car. They make their car even better.
+
+They go back outside and find another hill. They run up the hill with their car and hold it high in the air. They count to three and let go of their car.
+
+"Fly, car, fly!" they shout.
+
+This time, their car flies. It flies high and far. It flies over the trees and the houses. It flies like a bird.
+
+Tom and Mia clap and cheer. They are very happy. They hug each other.
+
+"We did it!" Tom says to Mia. "We made our car fly!"
+
+"Yes, we did!" Mia says to Tom. "We are good designers. And we are brave!"

+They watch their car fly until it disappears in the sky. They hope it will come back someday. They go home and tell their mom and dad about their car. They are very proud of their car. And they are very proud of themselves.
+Lily liked to use her memory to play games. She could remember many things, like the names of her toys, the colors of the flowers, and the sounds of the animals. She liked to show her memory to her friends and family, and they were always amazed.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. She wanted to play with everything, but she also wanted to use her memory. She decided to play a game with herself. She looked at the park and tried to remember everything she saw. Then she closed her eyes and said what she remembered.
+
+"I see a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, a tree, a bird, a dog, a ball, a bike, and a kite," she said. She opened her eyes and smiled. She was right. She had remembered everything.
+
+She did the same thing again and again. She looked at the park, closed her eyes, and said what she remembered. She did not notice that her mom and dad were getting bored. They wanted to play with her, but she only wanted to use her memory. They also did not notice that the park was getting crowded. More and more children came to play, and they wanted to use the slide, the swing, and the sandbox.
+
+Soon, Lily heard a loud noise. She opened her eyes and saw a boy pushing her. He was angry and said, "Move, move, move! You are boring! You are not playing, you are just sitting there. Let me use the slide!"
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to move. She wanted to use her memory. She did not understand why the boy was angry. She looked at her mom and dad, but they were too far away. They did not see what was happening.
+
+Then she heard a friendly voice. She turned and saw a girl smiling at her. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me? I like to use my memory too, but I also like to use the slide, the swing, and the sandbox. We can use them together, and then we can use our memory to remember what we did. It will be more fun than playing alone. What do you say?"
+
+Lily liked Anna. She liked her smile and her voice. She thought that maybe she was right. Maybe it would be more fun to use the slide, the swing, and the sandbox, and then use her memory to remember what she did. She nodded and said, "OK, I'll play with you. I'm Lily, by the way."
+
+Anna took Lily's hand and helped her stand up. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. Then they went to the swing and pushed each other. Then they went to the sandbox and made a castle. They had a lot of fun, and they also used their memory to remember what they did.
+
+Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that using her memory was good, but using it too much was boring. She learned that playing with others was better than playing alone. She learned that sharing and being kind was more important than being right. She learned that using her memory and using the park could make her happy. She was glad that she met Anna, and she hoped to see her again. She also hugged her mom and dad and thanked them for taking her to the park. She had a great day.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But their favorite thing was the fountain. The fountain was big and shiny, and it made water go up and down. Sometimes they would put their hands in the water and splash each other.
+
+One day, they went to the park and saw a new boy. He was bigger than them and he had a mean face. He was standing by the fountain and he had a bucket. He was using the bucket to take water from the fountain and pour it on the grass. Anna and Ben did not like that. They wanted to play with the fountain.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Anna said to the new boy. "That is our fountain. We want to play with it."
+
+The new boy looked at Anna and Ben and laughed. He said, "No, it is my fountain. I can do what I want with it. You can't play with it. Go away."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not know what to do. They thought the new boy was very rude and selfish. They wished he would leave.
+
+Then they saw a man walking towards them. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He was the park keeper. He was kind and he always said hello to Anna and Ben. He saw what the new boy was doing and he frowned.
+
+"Hey, you!" he said to the new boy. "What are you doing with that bucket? You are not allowed to use the fountain like that. You are wasting water and making a mess. You have to stop right now."
+
+The new boy looked at the park keeper and he was scared. He dropped the bucket and ran away. He did not say sorry or goodbye.
+
+The park keeper smiled at Anna and Ben. He said, "Don't worry, kids. You can play with the fountain. It is for everyone to enjoy. Just be careful and have fun."
+
+Anna and Ben thanked the park keeper. They were happy and relieved. They picked up the bucket and put it away. Then they went to the fountain and played with the water. They splashed each other and laughed. They were glad the new boy was gone. They hoped he would learn to be kind.
+Tom and Sue like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek. Tom is good at hiding. He can hide behind the sofa, under the bed, or in the closet. Sue is good at seeking. She can find Tom by looking and listening.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek in the park. Tom says, "I will hide and you will seek. Count to ten and then come find me." Sue says, "OK, I will count to ten and then come find you." Tom runs away to hide. Sue covers her eyes and counts to ten.
+
+Sue opens her eyes and looks for Tom. She looks behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. She does not see Tom. She calls his name, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you." She does not hear Tom. She walks around the park, but she does not find Tom.
+
+Sue is scared and sad. She thinks she lost Tom. She cries and cries. She does not know what to do. She sees a man walking by. The man is big and impressive. He has a hat and a coat and a bag. He looks at Sue and smiles. He says, "Hello, little girl. Why are you crying? Are you lost?"
+
+Sue says, "No, I am not lost. But I can't find my friend Tom. We were playing hide and seek and he hid and I can't find him." The man says, "Don't worry, I can help you. Maybe Tom is in my bag. Do you want to see?" Sue says, "Yes, please. Maybe Tom is in your bag." The man says, "OK, come with me. I will show you my bag."
+
+The man takes Sue by the hand and leads her away from the park. Sue does not know that the man is bad. The man is not going to show her his bag. He is going to take her away and hurt her. Tom is not in his bag. Tom is still hiding in the park. He is waiting for Sue to find him. He does not know that Sue is gone. He does not know that Sue is in trouble. He does not know that Sue and him will never play hide and seek again.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. Tim has a jet. Jen has a doll. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Tim and Jen go to the park. They see a big sign. The sign says: "No toys on the grass. Only balls and frisbees." Tim and Jen are sad. They want to play with their toys on the grass.
+
+Tim says: "Let's play with the jet on the grass. The sign is silly. The jet is not a toy. It is a plane."
+
+Jen says: "No, Tim. We have to follow the sign. The sign is not silly. It is a rule. The jet is a toy. It is not a plane."
+
+Tim and Jen argue. They are not friends anymore. They go to different sides of the park. They play with their toys alone. They are not happy.
+
+A dog comes to the park. The dog sees the jet on the grass. The dog thinks the jet is a bone. The dog runs to the jet. The dog bites the jet. The jet breaks. Tim cries.
+
+Jen sees Tim crying. She feels sorry for Tim. She runs to Tim. She gives him a hug. She says: "I'm sorry, Tim. I was wrong. The jet is a plane. It is a cool toy. You can play with my doll. I can play with your ball. We can play together."
+
+Tim smiles. He says: "Thank you, Jen. I'm sorry, too. The sign is a rule. We have to follow the rule. You can play with my jet. I can play with your frisbee. We can play together."
+
+Tim and Jen are friends again. They play with their toys on the path. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. Mom had a camera and she took many pictures of them.
+
+"Say cheese!" Mom said, holding the camera in front of them.
+
+"Cheese!" Lily and Ben said, smiling.
+
+Mom looked at the camera and frowned. "Oh no, the camera is not working. It does not move. Maybe the battery is dead."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to see the pictures of their fun day.
+
+"Can we fix it, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe we can find someone who can help us." Mom said.
+
+They walked around the park, looking for someone who knew about cameras. They saw a man with a big camera and a tripod. He was taking pictures of the birds and the flowers.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. Can you help us?" Mom asked. "Our camera is not working. It does not move."
+
+The man looked at their camera and nodded. "Sure, I can help you. Let me see it." He took the camera and opened it. He checked the battery and the wires. He pressed some buttons and shook it gently.
+
+"Here you go. It should work now." He said, giving the camera back to Mom.
+
+"Thank you so much, sir. You are very kind." Mom said.
+
+She turned on the camera and saw the pictures of Lily and Ben. They were clear and bright.
+
+"Look, Lily and Ben. The camera is working. It can move again." Mom said, showing them the screen.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They hugged the man and thanked him.
+
+"Can we take a picture with you, sir?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. Come here." The man said, smiling.
+
+He set up his camera on the tripod and joined them. He pressed a button and the camera made a click sound.
+
+"Say cheese!" He said.
+
+"Cheese!" Lily, Ben and Mom said, smiling.
+
+The camera took a picture of them. They looked at it and liked it.
+
+"That's a nice picture. You are a good family." The man said.
+
+"Thank you, sir. You are a good friend." Mom said.
+
+They said goodbye to the man and continued their play in the park. They were not scared of the camera anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found some celery in the fridge and decided to use it for their dish.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can fit this celery in my mouth!" Tom said, holding a long piece of celery in his hand. He opened his mouth wide and tried to bite the celery. But it was too big and he could not fit it all. He made a funny face and spit out the celery.
+
+"Tom, that's silly! You can't fit that celery in your mouth. You have to cut it first." Lily said, shaking her head. She took a knife and a cutting board and chopped the celery into small pieces. "Here, try this. It's much easier to eat." She handed Tom a piece of celery.
+
+Tom took the piece of celery and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and made a sour face. "Ew, Lily, this celery is yucky! It tastes like grass. I don't like it." He said, spitting out the celery again.
+
+Lily laughed. "Tom, you're so picky! Celery is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And it's crunchy and fun to eat. You just have to dip it in something." She said, opening a jar of peanut butter. She dipped a piece of celery in the peanut butter and ate it. "Mmm, this is yummy. You should try it, Tom."
+
+Tom looked at the peanut butter and the celery. He was curious. He liked peanut butter. Maybe it would make the celery taste better. He dipped a piece of celery in the peanut butter and ate it. He was surprised. It was not yucky. It was sweet and creamy and crunchy. He liked it. He ate another piece. And another. And another.
+
+Soon, he ate all the celery and peanut butter. He felt full and happy. He smiled at Lily. "You're right, Lily. Celery and peanut butter are yummy. Thank you for sharing with me." He said, hugging his sister.
+
+Lily hugged him back. "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you liked it. But don't eat too much. You might get dizzy." She said, giggling.
+
+Tom giggled too. He felt a little dizzy. He had eaten too much celery and peanut butter. He decided to lie down on the couch and rest. He closed his eyes and dreamed of being a chef. He wondered what other foods he could fit in his mouth.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many pictures. They want to look at the book, but it is too heavy for them.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Anna says. "I want to open the book."
+
+Ben tries to help Anna, but he cannot lift the book. The book is too heavy for him, too.
+
+"We need a teach," Ben says. "A teach can open the book for us."
+
+They look around, but they do not see a teach. They see a cat, a dog, a bird, and a flower. But none of them can open the book.
+
+They feel helpless. They want to see the pictures, but they cannot open the book.
+
+Then, they hear a voice.
+
+"Hello, Anna and Ben. What are you doing?"
+
+They turn around and see a teach. It is Mrs. Lee, their teach from school. She is smiling and holding a bag.
+
+"We want to see the book, but it is too heavy," Anna says.
+
+"Can you help us, please?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, I can help you," Mrs. Lee says. "Let me see the book."
+
+She puts her bag down and walks to the book. She lifts the book easily and opens it. She shows Anna and Ben the pictures. They are colorful and beautiful. They see animals, plants, cars, and stars.
+
+"Wow!" Anna and Ben say. "The book is amazing!"
+
+They sit down with Mrs. Lee and look at the book. They ask her many questions, and she tells them many things. They learn a lot from the book.
+
+They are happy and thankful. They have a teach who can help them. They have a book that can show them. They have a friend who can share with them. They are not helpless anymore. They are curious and smart.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they ran after it and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lily, the sky is bright!" Ben said, pointing to the sun. "It is a good day to play!"
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is!" Lily agreed, smiling. "Let's clap for the sun!" They clapped their hands and made a loud noise.
+
+But then they heard a louder noise. It was thunder. It came from the dark clouds that covered the sun. The thunder made them scared. They stopped clapping and looked at each other.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily!" Ben said, grabbing the ball. "It is going to rain!"
+
+"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily said, following him. They ran to the gate of the park, but it was locked. They could not get out. They tried to push the gate, but it did not move.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted, but no one heard them. The thunder got louder and louder, and the rain started to fall. It was cold and wet. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had not clapped for the sun. They wished they had gone home sooner. They wished someone would come and save them. But no one came. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They saw a candle on the table. It was red and shiny. They wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, a candle!" Lily said. "It is pretty. Can we play with it?"
+
+"No, we can't," Tom said. "Mom said candles are hot and dangerous. They can burn us and make fire."
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She was curious. She reached for the candle. Tom tried to stop her.
+
+"Lily, no! Don't touch it!" Tom shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Lily touched the candle. It was hot and hurt her hand. She screamed and dropped the candle. The candle fell on the floor. It lit the carpet. The carpet started to burn. Smoke filled the room. It was hard to breathe.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom cried. "Fire! Fire!"
+
+Mom heard them and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and the smoke. She was scared and angry.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You are naughty and foolish! You could have died!"
+
+She grabbed Lily and Tom and ran out of the house. She called the firemen. The firemen came and put out the fire. But the house was damaged. It was black and cold.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Tom. She was glad they were safe. But she was also sad and disappointed. She reminded them of what she had told them.
+
+"I told you not to play with candles," Mom said. "Why didn't you listen to me? You have to obey me. You have to be careful. You have to learn from your mistake."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They had made a big mess. They had hurt themselves and Mom. They had lost their home. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not played with the candle. They wished they could go back in time. But they couldn't. They had to face the consequences. They had to say sorry. They had to start over. They had a bad ending.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big person with a mask and a bag. The person looked scary and mean.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is a bad person. He has a mask and a bag. Maybe he wants to take our toys or hurt us," Tom said.
+
+They were frightened and hid behind a tree. They watched the person walk around the park. He stopped near a bench where a lady was sitting. He put his bag on the ground and took out a knife. He pointed the knife at the lady and said, "Give me your money and your phone or I will hurt you!"
+
+The lady was frightened too. She screamed and tried to run away. But the person grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He was stronger than her.
+
+Tom and Lily saw what was happening. They wanted to help the lady. They remembered what their mom had told them. If they saw someone in trouble, they should call for help.
+
+"Help! Help! There is a bad person with a knife! He is hurting the lady!" Tom and Lily shouted as loud as they could.
+
+Some other people in the park heard them. They ran to the bench and saw the person with the mask and the knife. They were angry and brave. They surrounded the person and took the knife away from him. They called the police and waited for them to come.
+
+The lady was safe and thanked Tom and Lily for saving her. She gave them a hug and a smile. The police came and took the person with the mask away. They said he was a robber and he had done bad things before. They said Tom and Lily were heroes and they were proud of them.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy and proud too. They learned that they should not be afraid of bad people, but they should help good people. They learned that being brave and kind is better than being scared and mean. They went back to playing in the park with their toys and their friends. They had a good day.
+Tom and Lily were going to the market with their mom. They liked the market because it had many things to see and smell and touch. There were fruits and flowers and toys and clothes and books and more.
+
+When they got to the market, Tom saw a big toy lion. It had yellow fur and a brown mane and a long tail. Tom wanted to play with it. He asked his mom, "Can I have the lion, please?"
+
+Mom looked at the lion and said, "No, Tom, you can't have the lion. It is too big and too expensive. And it might scare Lily."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the lion and ran away. He hid behind a stall and made the lion roar. He said, "I am the king of the jungle. Hear me roar!"
+
+Lily heard the roar and got scared. She did not know it was Tom and the lion. She thought it was a real lion. She cried and hugged her mom. She said, "Mom, there is a lion in the market. It is loud and scary. Make it go away!"
+
+Mom heard the roar and knew it was Tom and the lion. She was angry and worried. She looked for Tom and found him behind the stall. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? You scared Lily and me. And you took the lion without asking. That is not nice. You have to say sorry and give it back."
+
+Tom saw Lily crying and mom angry. He felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to play with the lion. It is bright and fun. But I was wrong. I will give it back."
+
+He gave the lion back to the stall owner and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I took your lion without asking. It is a nice lion. But I don't need it."
+
+The stall owner smiled and said, "That's okay, son. I'm glad you like my lion. But you have to ask before you take something. And you have to be careful not to scare your sister and your mom. They love you very much."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I know. I love them too. And I will be careful next time."
+
+He hugged Lily and mom and said, "Can we go home now? I don't want to play with lions anymore. I want to play with you."
+
+Mom and Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. Let's go home. We want to play with you too."
+
+They left the market and went home. They played and laughed and had fun. And they never heard a lion roar again.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Ben's favorite was the gorilla. He wanted to see it up close and touch it.
+
+"Can I go inside the cage, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, you can't. The gorilla is very big and strong. It might hurt you," Mom said.
+
+"But I want to be friends with the gorilla. He looks funny and nice," Ben said.
+
+He tried to resist, but Mom held his hand and pulled him away. Ben was sad and angry. He cried and kicked.
+
+Lily saw Ben's tantrum and felt sorry for him. She had an idea. She took out her camera and snapped a picture of the gorilla. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, the gorilla is smiling at you. He likes you too. But he is happy in his cage. He has his own toys and food and friends. You can keep this picture and remember him."
+
+Ben looked at the picture and stopped crying. He saw the gorilla's funny face and big teeth. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. The gorilla is cool. Maybe I can see him again next time."
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Ben and Lily and said, "We are proud of you, kids. You are kind and smart. Now let's go see the other animals. Maybe we can find some more funny ones."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a big box of toys. Tom wanted to play with the hammer. He liked to hit things with it. Lily wanted to play with the hammer too. She liked to make noise with it.
+
+"Give me the hammer!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said.
+

+They saw many trees and flowers and animals. They also saw a big box with a stick and a string. There was a carrot inside the box.
+
+"Look, Ben, a carrot! I'm hungry. Let's get it," Lily said.

+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the box and pulled the carrot. The box fell and Lily was inside. She cried and screamed.

+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my trap. You could have hurt yourself or my dog. You should not be here. Where are your parents?" the man said.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sorry. They told the man their names and where they lived. They said they were playing and they saw the hole and the carrot and they did not know it was a trap. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again.
+
+The man was still angry, but he saw they were just children. He decided to forgive them. He told them to follow him and he would take them back to the garden. He also told them to be careful and to listen to their parents.
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the man and his dog. They followed him to the hole and crawled back to the garden. They saw their mom waiting for them. She was worried and angry too.

This is foil. It is flexible. You can bend it and twist it. But you can't write on it with a crayon. You need a different tool. Like a marker or a pencil."
+
+Mom gives Anna a marker and a pencil. She says, "Try these. You can write on the foil with them. But be careful. Don't press too hard. Or you will tear the foil."

+
+Mommy says, "You're welcome, Mia. I'm glad you feel better. You can play with the other cushions, but be careful not to jump too much on the sofa. You might fall and hurt yourself."

+"Go away, go away! You are not welcome here! This is a park for children and nice dogs. You are a bad dog and a bully. Go back to your home and stay there!"
+
+The big dog heard the man with the cap. He stopped and looked at him. He saw that the man with the cap was big and strong. He saw that the small dog was brave and barked at him. He felt ashamed and afraid. He turned around and ran back to the hole in the fence. He did not bark anymore.
+
+Ben and Lily were very happy and relieved. They stopped trembling and thanked the man with the cap.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, sir!" they said. "You are very kind and brave. You saved us from the big dog. You are our hero!"

+
+"You are very welcome, children," he said. "You are very brave too. You stuck together and asked for help. You did the right thing. Now, go and enjoy the park. And don't worry, the big dog won't bother you again. I will tell his owner to fix the fence and train him better."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged the man with the cap and his small dog. They said goodbye and went back to play. They had fun and felt safe. They never saw the big dog again.
+One day, a boy named Tom found a key on the floor. He was very happy and thought it was a magic key. He put it in his pocket and ran to his friend Lisa's house.
+
+"Look what I found!" he said to Lisa. "It is a magic key that can make anything increase!"
+
+"Wow, that is amazing!" Lisa said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Tom took out the key and showed it to Lisa. It was a small, silver key with a star on it. Lisa wanted to touch it, but Tom pulled it away.
+
+"No, it is mine!" he said. "You can't have it!"
+
+Lisa felt sad and angry. She thought Tom was being selfish and rude. She decided to teach him a lesson.
+
+"Okay, fine," she said. "But be careful with your magic key. It might increase something you don't want to increase."
+
+Tom laughed and said, "That is silly. There is nothing I don't want to increase. I want everything to be bigger and better!"
+
+He ran away from Lisa's house and went to the park. He saw a big slide and climbed up. He took out his key and said, "I wish this slide would increase!"
+
+Suddenly, the slide grew taller and longer. Tom was scared and tried to get down, but it was too high. He screamed for help, but no one heard him.
+
+He saw a dog and said, "I wish that dog would increase and save me!"
+
+The dog heard him and ran to the slide. But instead of saving him, the dog also grew bigger and bigger. It was a filthy dog with dirty fur and bad breath. It jumped on the slide and licked Tom's face. Tom felt gross and cried.
+
+He wished he had listened to Lisa and been more careful with his magic key. He wished he had shared it with her and been more kind. He learned that being greedy and selfish can make things worse, not better. He hoped that someone would find him and the dog and make them small again. He hoped that Lisa would forgive him and still be his friend.

+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a yellow radio. They liked to listen to music and stories on the radio. Sometimes they also liked to scare each other with the radio. They would turn the volume up very loud, or change the channel to something scary, or hide the radio under the bed.
+
+One day, they were playing with the radio when their mom called them for lunch. They left the radio on the floor and ran to the kitchen. They did not know that the radio had a problem. It could turn on and off by itself. It could also change the volume and the channel by itself.

She said that scaring each other was not nice and that it could make them feel bad.
+
+Tom and Mia felt sorry for scaring each other. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They decided to play with other toys that were not scary. They learned that scaring each other was not fun and that they should be kind to each other. They also learned that they should take care of their things and not leave them on the floor.

+
+"Look, I have a big red marble!" Lily said, holding it in her hand. "It is very shiny and fast."
+
+"I have a small blue marble," Ben said, showing it to Lily. "It is very smooth and pretty."
+
+They took turns rolling their marbles and counting how many times they bounced. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, a big dog came running to them. It saw the marbles and wanted to play too. It barked and jumped and tried to catch the marbles with its mouth.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "Those are our marbles! Go away!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. It grabbed Lily's big red marble and ran away with it.
+
+"Come back!" Ben yelled. "Give us our marble!"
+
+They chased the dog, but it was too fast. It ran to a fence and jumped over it. Lily and Ben could not follow it. They were sad and angry.
+
+They looked at each other and hugged. They still had their other marbles, but they missed the big red marble.
+
+"Maybe the dog will come back and give us our marble," Lily said, trying to be hopeful.
+
+"Maybe," Ben said, nodding. "Or maybe we can find another big red marble someday."
+
+They decided to act happy and keep playing with their marbles. They rolled them on the grass and saw how far they went. They had fun and laughed a lot. But they also looked at the fence and hoped to see the dog again. They wanted their big red marble back. They left the fence open, just in case.

+
+One night, they had a big idea. They wanted to record their own song. They asked their grandpa if they could use his record player. He said yes, but they had to be careful and not break it. He showed them how to use the microphone and the button.

+
+Tom lifted the lid of the box. He saw many shiny things. He saw rings and necklaces and bracelets. He wanted to take them. He said to Anna, "Look, these are pretty. Let's take them home."
+
+Anna shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, these are not ours. Someone else left them here. Maybe they will come back for them. We should not take them. That is not nice."
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed a ring and put it on his finger. He said, "I like this one. It is mine now." He reached for another one.
+
+Anna tried to help Tom. She said, "Tom, please, stop. You are being greedy. You should be generous. You should share with others. You should not take what is not yours."
+
+But Tom did not want to share. He did not want to be generous. He wanted to keep all the shiny things. He pushed Anna away. He said, "Go away, Anna. You are not my friend. These are mine. All mine."

+Anna was sad. She cried. She ran away from Tom. She did not want to play with him anymore.
+
+Tom was happy. He had all the shiny things. He put them in his pockets. He felt rich. He did not care about Anna. He did not care about anyone.
+
+But then, he felt a pain in his finger. He looked at his finger. He saw blood. He saw a cut. He saw a sharp edge on the ring. The ring was not pretty. The ring was dangerous. It hurt him.
+
+Tom screamed. He tried to take off the ring. But it was too tight. It did not come off. It stuck to his finger. It made his finger swell. It made his finger hurt more.
+
+Tom was scared. He wanted help. He wanted Anna. He wanted his mom. He wanted anyone. But no one was there. No one heard him. No one saw him. No one cared about him.
+
+He was alone. He was hurt. He was sorry. He wished he had not taken the shiny things. He wished he had been nice to Anna. He wished he had been generous.
+
+But it was too late. He had made a bad choice. He had to face the consequences. He had to learn a hard lesson. He had a bad ending.

+The two kids said 'oh no!' and ran inside. They tried to fix the curtains, but they kept falling down because they were too flexible.
+
+But then they had an idea. Eric said they should gather chairs and a few cushions and put them together to make a wall. So they did and it worked!

+But then one day a girl came by. She was so excited when she saw the lime and she said to it, "Come with me!"
+
+The lime had no idea what was going on but it knew she seemed so happy so it followed her. She took it outside, picked some things from the garden, and wrapped it up in what looked like a blanket.
+
+Filled with joy the lime asked,"What are you doing?"
+
+"I'm making you a nice bed," the girl replied with a big smile on her face.
+
+And that is how the lime learnt that even the smallest thing can bring happiness to someone.

+
+"What do you think you're doing?" It said.

+Once upon a time, there were two frogs who were very good friends. One day, they decided to have a hopping race. The first frog hopped as fast as he could, choosing a very straight path through the forest. The second frog chose a more curved path.
+
+When it came to the finish line, the first frog was far in the lead and crossed it with a triumphant hop. But, he soon noticed something.

+
+"It's OK, Lily. It was an accident. Don't worry. Maybe we can fix it." He said.
+

+Lily and Tom heard a noise. They went to the living room and saw the thief. He was running away with their blocks.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "Those are ours!"

+The thief was scared. He dropped the bag and ran out of the door. He did not want to get caught.
+
+Lily and Tom picked up their blocks and hugged them. They were happy to have them back.

+Lily and Ben were at the market with their mom. They saw many fruits and vegetables in bright colors. Lily liked the red apples and the yellow bananas. Ben liked the green grapes and the orange carrots. But they both loved the big melons that smelled sweet and juicy.
+
+"Mom, can we get a melon?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, we can get one melon to share," mom said. "But you have to help me pick a good one."
+
+"How do we pick a good melon?" Ben wondered.
+
+Mom showed them how to look for a melon that was heavy, firm, and had a nice sound when tapped. She also suggested that they smell the end of the melon where the stem was. "If it smells like a melon, it's ripe and ready to eat," she said.
+
+Lily and Ben tried to find a good melon. They lifted, squeezed, tapped, and smelled many melons. Some were too light, some were too soft, some were too quiet, and some were too stinky. They were about to give up when they saw a melon that looked perfect. It was big, round, and had a bright green skin with dark stripes. It was heavy, firm, and made a hollow sound when tapped. And it smelled like a melon, sweet and juicy.
+
+"Mom, we found it! We found the best melon!" Lily and Ben shouted.
+
+Mom smiled and took the melon. She paid the seller and put the melon in a bag. "Good job, kids. You picked a great melon. We'll have it for dessert tonight."
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They couldn't wait to go home and eat the melon. They imagined how it would taste, how it would make their mouths water, how it would fill their tummies. They didn't notice the small hole on the side of the melon, where a worm had crawled in and eaten some of the flesh. They didn't know that the melon had a surprise for them. A surprise that would make them scream and spit and cry. A surprise that would ruin their dessert. A surprise that they would never forget.

+
+"This car is not good," Mom says. "You have many other toys. Why do you want this car?"
+
+Tim and Sue are quiet. They do not know what to say.
+
+Mom has an idea. She rubs the car with a cloth. She makes it shiny and clean. She fixes the wheel and the scratch. She gives the car a kiss.
+
+"Look, this car is new!" Mom says. "It is a special car. It is a modest car. It does not need to be big or fancy. It just needs to be loved."
+

+
+One day, they saw a dove lying on the ground. It was not moving or making any sound. Lila ran to it and picked it up. She felt its cold body and saw its closed eyes. She started to cry.
+
+"Sam, Sam, look! The dove is gone! It is not alive anymore!" she sobbed.
+
+Sam came over and looked at the dove. He felt sad too. He remembered his grandma telling him that when someone or something dies, they go to heaven. He wanted to help the dove go to heaven.
+
+"Lila, don't cry. We can bury the dove in the garden. Then it can go to heaven and be happy. We can make a cross with sticks and put some flowers on it. We can say a prayer for the dove too," he said.
+
+Lila nodded. She liked Sam's idea. They dug a hole in the garden with their shovels. They gently put the dove in the hole and covered it with sand. They found two sticks and tied them together with a string. They stuck the cross on the sand. They picked some flowers and laid them on the cross. They held hands and said a prayer for the dove.

+
+Ben was busy playing with his cars. He did not want to see Lila's show. He said, "No, thank you. Your show is boring. Your microphone and guitar are fake. Your dress and crown are silly. You are not a singer or a star. You are just Lila."
+
+Lila felt sad and angry. She said, "You are mean, Ben. You are not my friend. You are not invited to my show. Go away."

+Lily loved horses. She had a toy horse that she played with every day. She named it Brownie, because it was brown and soft. She wished she had a real horse, but her mom said horses were expensive and they had no room for one.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big sign that said "Horse Show". She asked her mom if they could go and see the horses. Her mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not touch the horses. They were not their horses, and some of them might bite or kick.
+
+Lily and her mom walked around the horse show. Lily saw many horses of different colors and sizes. She saw horses with long hair, horses with spots, horses with ribbons, and horses with saddles. She wanted to pet them all, but she remembered what her mom said. She stayed close to her mom and looked with her eyes.
+
+Then, she saw a horse that looked like Brownie. It was brown and soft, and it had a white star on its forehead. Lily thought it was the most beautiful horse in the world. She wanted to say hello to it. She saw a man holding a rope that was tied to the horse. She thought he was the horse's owner. She walked up to him and asked, "Can I pet your horse, please?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, little girl. His name is Star. He's very friendly. You can pet him, but don't let go of my hand. He might run away." He took Lily's hand and led her to the horse. Lily reached out and touched the horse's nose. It felt warm and wet. The horse nuzzled her hand and made a soft sound. Lily giggled and said, "Hi, Star. You're so nice. I like you."
+
+The man watched Lily and the horse. He thought they looked happy together. He had a secret. He was not the horse's owner. He was a thief. He had stolen the horse from a farm. He wanted to sell the horse for a lot of money. He had brought the horse to the horse show to find a buyer. He saw a woman in a fancy dress and a hat. She looked rich. He thought she might want to buy the horse. He let go of Lily's hand and said, "Excuse me, little girl. I have to talk to someone. Stay here with Star. I'll be right back."
+
+He walked away from Lily and the horse. He did not see Lily's mom, who had been looking for her. She saw Lily with the horse and the man. She thought something was wrong. She ran to Lily and said, "Lily, what are you doing? Who is that man? Where did he go?" Lily said, "Mom, this is Star. He's like Brownie. He's so nice. The man said I could pet him. He went to talk to someone. He'll be back soon."
+
+Lily's mom looked around and saw the man talking to the woman in the fancy dress. She saw him point to the horse and say something. She saw the woman nod and take out her purse. She realized what was happening. The man was trying to sell the horse. He had lied to Lily. He was a bad man. She had to stop him. She had to catch him. She said to Lily, "Lily, listen to me. That man is not Star's owner. He stole Star from someone else. He's a thief. He's trying to sell Star to that woman. We have to stop him. We have to tell someone. Come with me."
+
+She took Lily's hand and ran to the horse. She untied the rope from the fence. She said to Lily, "Lily, can you ride Star? Can you hold on to his mane?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I can ride Star. I can hold on to his mane." She said, "Good. Then get on Star. We're going to catch the thief. We're going to save Star." She lifted Lily up and put her on Star's back. She said, "Hold on tight, Lily. Don't be afraid. Star will take care of you." She said to Star, "Star, can you run? Can you catch the thief?" Star nodded and neighed. He understood. He was a smart horse. He wanted to go back to his real owner. He wanted to get away from the thief. He started to run.
+
+Lily and her mom rode Star across the park. They chased the thief and the woman. They shouted, "Stop! Stop! That's not your horse! That's a stolen horse!" The thief and the woman heard them. They looked back and saw them. They were scared
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Ben saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. Anna was scared and said no.
+
+"Come on, Anna, it will be fun!" Ben said. He ran to the hill and started to climb. Anna followed him, but she was not happy.
+
+The hill was steep and rocky. Ben slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and it bled. He cried and yelled for Anna. Anna ran to him and saw his wound.
+
+"Ben, you are hurt! We need to get a bandage!" Anna said. She looked around and saw a man with a dog. The man had a backpack. Maybe he had a bandage.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, can you help us?" Anna asked. She pointed to Ben's knee. The man was kind and nodded. He opened his backpack and took out a bandage. He wrapped it around Ben's knee and smiled.
+
+"There you go, little one. You'll be fine. Just be careful next time," the man said. He gave Ben a candy and petted his dog. The dog licked Ben's face and made him laugh.
+
+"Thank you, sir, you are very useful!" Anna said. She hugged the man and the dog. Then she helped Ben to stand up and walk. They went back to the park and played some more. But they did not climb the hill again. They learned their lesson.
+Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play dress-up with their dolls and try different styles. One day, Sara found a new hat in her closet. It was big and pink and had a feather on it. Sara thought it was very pretty and put it on her doll.
+
+"Look, Lily, what a nice hat I have!" Sara said. "Do you like it?"
+
+Lily looked at the hat and made a face. She did not like it at all. She thought it was silly and ugly.
+
+"No, I don't like it," Lily said. "It is too big and too pink and the feather is silly. Your doll looks funny. My doll has a better style. She has a blue dress and a bow in her hair. She is very cute."
+
+Sara felt hurt by Lily's words. She liked her hat and her doll. She did not think they looked funny. She thought Lily was mean and rude.
+
+"That is not nice, Lily," Sara said. "You are my friend. You should not say bad things about my hat and my doll. You hurt my feelings. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Sara took her hat and her doll and ran away. She went to her room and closed the door. She lay on her bed and started to weep. She was very sad and angry.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Sara. She did not mean to hurt her feelings. She just did not like the hat. She wanted to play with Sara again. She went to Sara's room and knocked on the door.
+
+"Sara, please open the door," Lily said. "I am sorry I said bad things about your hat and your doll. I was silly. You can have any style you want. Your hat and your doll are pretty. You are my friend. I don't want to make you weep. Can we play again?"
+
+Sara heard Lily's voice and stopped weeping. She wiped her eyes and opened the door. She saw Lily holding a flower in her hand.
+
+"Here, Sara, this is for you," Lily said. "It is a peace flower. It means I am sorry and I want to be your friend again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Sara smiled and took the flower. She hugged Lily and said, "Yes, I forgive you. You are my friend too. Thank you for the flower. It is very nice. Can we play dress-up again?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's play dress-up again. And you can wear your hat if you want. I don't mind. It is your style and I like you."
+
+Sara and Lily went back to their dolls and played dress-up. They tried different styles and had fun. They did not weep anymore. They were happy.
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks in the yard. One day, they find a big box of toy soldiers. They decide to have a war with them.
+
+Tim says, "I am the blue team. You are the red team. We fight for the hill." Sam nods and says, "OK. Let's go." They put their soldiers on the ground and start to move them.
+
+Tim has a big tank. He makes it go vroom vroom and shoots at Sam's soldiers. Sam has a fast plane. He makes it go zoom zoom and drops bombs on Tim's soldiers. They both have fun and make loud noises.
+
+But then, Tim sees that Sam has a secret soldier. It is a green soldier with a big gun. Sam hides it behind a rock. Tim thinks that is not fair. He says, "Hey, that is cheating. You can't have a green soldier. He is not on your team."
+
+Sam says, "Yes, I can. He is my spy. He can help me win the war." Tim says, "No, you can't. He is a liar. He can't be on any team." Sam says, "Yes, he can. He is reliable. He can do anything."
+
+Tim gets angry. He runs to Sam and tries to grab the green soldier. Sam holds it tight and says, "No, he is mine. Go away." They pull and tug and shout. Then, Tim slaps Sam on the face. Sam slaps Tim back. They both start to cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes out. She sees them fighting and says, "Stop it, both of you. What are you doing? Why are you hitting each other?" Tim and Sam tell her about the green soldier. Mom says, "That is silly. It is just a toy. You can share it or put it away. You don't need to have a war over it. You are friends, not enemies."
+
+Tim and Sam feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. They put the green soldier in the box and say, "We don't need him. He is not fun. He makes us fight." They pick up their cars and trucks and say, "Let's play something else. Something nice." Mom smiles and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you." She gives them a kiss and a cookie. They go back to the yard and play happily.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to run and play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. It says: "Fun Race for Kids. Win a Medal!" Ben and Mia want to join the race. They think medals are cool.
+
+They go to the start line. There are many other kids. Some are big, some are small. A man with a whistle says: "Ready, set, go!" The kids start to run. Ben and Mia run fast. They want to be first.
+
+But soon, Ben feels tired. His legs hurt. He slows down. Mia sees him. She stops and says: "Ben, are you okay?" Ben says: "I can't run anymore. You go ahead. You can win the medal." Mia says: "No, Ben. You are my friend. I don't want to leave you. We can finish the race together."
+
+Mia helps Ben to stand up. They walk slowly. They see the other kids pass them. They cheer for them. They are happy for them. They don't care about the medal. They care about each other.
+
+They reach the finish line. They are the last ones. But they are smiling. The man with the whistle gives them each a medal. He says: "You are the winners of the race. You showed kindness and friendship. That is more important than speed. You gained something more than a medal. You gained respect and love."
+
+Ben and Mia hug each other. They thank the man. They wear their medals proudly. They think they are cool. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that being a good friend is better than being a fast runner.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. One day, their mom said they could order a new sweater online. She showed them some pictures of different sweaters on her phone.
+
+"Which one do you like?" she asked.
+
+"I like the blue one with the stars," Lily said.
+
+"I like the red one with the stripes," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. "You can each order one. They are not very expensive. But you have to be kind and wait for them to arrive. It might take a few days."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy to order their new sweaters. They thanked mom and gave her a hug.
+
+The next day, a big box came to their door. Mom opened it and took out two sweaters. She gave the blue one to Lily and the red one to Ben.
+
+"Here you go, my sweeties. Your new sweaters are here. Try them on and see how they fit."
+
+Lily and Ben put on their new sweaters. They looked at each other and smiled. They liked their new sweaters very much. They ran to the mirror to see how they looked.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben saw a hole in his sweater. It was on the sleeve, near the elbow. He felt sad and angry.
+
+"Look, mom! My sweater is broken! There is a hole in it!"
+
+Mom looked at his sweater and frowned. She saw the hole too. She felt sorry for Ben.
+
+"Oh, no! That's not good. I'm sorry, Ben. It must have been damaged during the shipping. Don't worry, we can send it back and get a new one."
+
+But Ben did not want to send it back. He wanted to keep his sweater. He liked the red stripes. He did not want to wait for another one.
+
+"No, mom! I don't want to send it back! I want to keep it! It's mine!"
+
+He pulled his sweater away from mom and hugged it tight. He started to cry.
+
+Lily saw Ben crying and felt sorry for him too. She wanted to help him. She had an idea.
+
+"Ben, don't cry. I have an idea. You can have my sweater. It has no hole. I can give it to you. You can wear the blue one with the stars. It's very nice."
+
+She took off her sweater and offered it to Ben. She was kind and generous. She hoped Ben would like her sweater.
+
+But Ben did not like her sweater. He did not like the blue color. He did not like the stars. He only liked his red sweater with the stripes. He did not want to trade with Lily.
+
+"No, Lily! I don't want your sweater! I don't like it! It's ugly! I want my sweater! It's better!"
+
+He pushed Lily's sweater away and threw it on the floor. He glared at Lily and yelled at her.
+
+"Go away, Lily! You are mean! You are trying to take my sweater! You are a bad sister!"
+
+Lily felt hurt and shocked. She did not understand why Ben was so rude and ungrateful. She had tried to be nice and share with him. She did not deserve to be yelled at. She started to cry too.
+
+"Ben, why are you so mean? I was trying to help you. I was giving you my sweater. You are a bad brother!"
+
+She ran to mom and hugged her. She buried her face in mom's chest and sobbed.
+
+Mom felt sad and angry too. She did not like how Ben behaved. He was selfish and rude. He did not appreciate Lily's kindness. He did not respect mom's rules. He needed to learn a lesson.
+
+"Ben, that's enough! You are being very naughty and unkind. You should be ashamed of yourself. You hurt Lily's feelings. You wasted mom's money. You don't deserve to have a new sweater. You are going to your room. Now!"
+
+She grabbed Ben's sweater and took it away from him. She dragged him to his room and closed the door. She left him alone with no sweater and no toys.
+
+Ben felt scared and sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He wished he had been nicer to Lily and mom. He wished he had accepted Lily's sweater. He wished he had no hole in his sweater. He wished he had not ordered a new sweater at all. He cried and cried. He was very unhappy.
+
+The end.
+Lily was a little bird who loved to sing. She had a beautiful voice and a shiny blue wing. Every morning, she would fly to the big tree and sing for all the animals. They would clap and cheer for her.
+
+But not everyone was happy for Lily. Rex was a big dog who lived near the tree. He was jealous of Lily's voice and wing. He wanted to be the best and have all the attention. He did not like to clap and cheer for Lily. He liked to bark and growl at her.
+
+One day, Rex had a bad idea. He decided to scare Lily and make her stop singing. He waited under the tree until Lily came to sing. Then he jumped out and barked very loud. Lily was so scared that she flew away and hid in a bush. She did not want to sing anymore.
+
+The other animals were sad and angry. They liked to hear Lily sing. They did not like Rex's bad behavior. They went to the bush and found Lily. They told her that she was brave and wonderful. They asked her to come back and sing.
+
+Lily was still scared, but she felt better. She saw that the animals were her friends. She decided to try again. She flew back to the tree and sang her song. The animals clapped and cheered for her. They also barked and growled at Rex. Rex felt ashamed and sorry. He realized that he was wrong. He apologized to Lily and the animals. He asked them to be his friends. Lily and the animals forgave him. They invited him to join them. Rex learned to clap and cheer for Lily. He also learned to sing with her. Lily and Rex became friends. They both had beautiful voices and shiny wings.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big flag on a pole. It was red and white and blue. It moved in the wind.
+
+"Let's play freeze tag!" Ben said. "I will be it. You run and I chase you. If I touch you, you freeze. You can't move until another player touches you."
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. "That sounds fun. But don't touch me too hard. I don't want to fall."
+
+They started to play. Ben ran after Lily. Lily ran away. She was fast. She ran behind a tree. Ben could not see her. He looked around. He saw another boy. He ran after him. He touched him. The boy froze.
+
+"Ha! I got you!" Ben said.
+
+The boy did not say anything. He did not move. He looked sad. He had a gloomy face.
+
+"Hey, are you okay?" Ben asked. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The boy shook his head. He pointed to the flag. He said, "That's my flag. My dad gave it to me. He is a soldier. He went away. He said he will come back. But I miss him. I don't want to play. I want my dad."
+
+Ben felt sorry for the boy. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know. That's a nice flag. Your dad must be brave. I hope he comes back soon. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The boy nodded. He smiled a little. He said, "Yes. Thank you. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Ben. And this is Lily. She is hiding behind that tree. She is my friend too. Come on, let's go find her. Maybe she will unfreeze you."
+
+The boy agreed. He followed Ben. They ran to the tree. They saw Lily. She was still frozen. She had a surprised face.
+
+"Boo!" Ben said. He touched Lily. She unfroze.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "You cheated! You left me alone!"
+
+"No, I didn't!" Ben said. "I found a new friend. His name is Sam. He has a flag. His dad is a soldier. He misses him. Can he play with us?"
+
+Lily looked at Sam. She saw his flag. She saw his gloomy face. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "Of course he can. Hi, Sam. I'm Lily. I'm sorry you miss your dad. We can play together. Maybe we can make you happy."
+
+Sam smiled more. He said, "Thank you. You are nice. I'm happy to meet you. Can we play freeze tag again?"
+
+They all agreed. They played freeze tag again. They ran and chased and touched and froze and unfroze. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the wind and the cold. They were friends. They made the park less gloomy. They made the flag more bright.
+Anna likes to dream. She dreams of big things and small things. She dreams of flying and swimming. She dreams of animals and flowers. She dreams of words and stories.
+
+One night, she dreams of a big book. The book is open and has many words. Anna wants to read the words, but they are too hard. She tries to sound them out, but they make no sense. She feels sad and confused.
+
+"Hello, Anna," a voice says. Anna looks up and sees a fairy. The fairy is small and has wings. She is holding a wand. She smiles at Anna.
+
+"Who are you?" Anna asks.
+
+"I am your dream fairy," the fairy says. "I can help you with the words. Do you want to learn them?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna says.
+
+"Then follow me," the fairy says. She waves her wand and the book glows. The words become bigger and clearer. Anna sees letters and sounds. She sees pictures and colors. She sees stories and poems.
+
+The fairy teaches Anna how to read the words. She helps her with the hard ones and praises her with the easy ones. Anna feels happy and smart. She reads the words and the stories. She learns new things and has fun.
+
+Anna and the fairy read the book until the sun comes up. Then the fairy says, "It is time to wake up, Anna. You have learned a lot. I am proud of you."
+
+"Thank you, fairy," Anna says. "Can I see you again?"
+
+"Of course," the fairy says. "I will always be in your dreams. Just remember to keep the book open and the words alive."
+
+Anna hugs the fairy and says goodbye. She wakes up and sees her book on the bedside table. It is open and has many words. Anna smiles and picks it up. She starts to read. She dreams of words and stories.
+Anna loved ponies. She wanted to touch a pony and hug it. But she was scared of big animals. She did not know if they were nice or mean.
+
+One day, her mom took her to a farm. There were many ponies there. They had soft fur and long tails. Anna saw a small pony with brown spots. It looked cute and friendly.
+
+"Can I touch that pony, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. But you have to be gentle and quiet. Ponies are shy sometimes. And you have to ask the farmer first. He knows the ponies well." Mom said.
+
+They walked to the farmer. He was feeding the ponies with hay and carrots. He smiled at Anna and mom.
+
+"Hello, do you like ponies?" He asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. They are pretty. Can I touch that one?" Anna pointed at the small pony with brown spots.
+
+"That one is called Spot. He is very sweet and calm. You can touch him if you want. But you have to let him sniff your hand first. That's how he says hello." The farmer said.
+
+He took Anna's hand and led her to Spot. Spot looked at Anna with big eyes. He sniffed her hand and licked it. Anna giggled. She felt his warm breath and wet tongue.
+
+"Hi, Spot. You are a nice pony. Can I hug you?" Anna said.
+
+Spot nodded his head. He rubbed his nose against Anna's cheek. Anna wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt his soft fur and his strong heartbeat. She felt happy and safe.
+
+"Mom, look! I'm hugging a pony!" Anna said.
+
+Mom took a picture of Anna and Spot. She was proud of her brave girl.
+
+"You are doing great, honey. You and Spot are friends now. He likes you a lot." Mom said.
+
+Anna smiled. She thanked the farmer and gave Spot another hug. She wanted to stay with him longer. But she knew they had to go home soon.
+
+"Bye, Spot. I hope to see you again. You are my favorite pony." Anna said.
+
+Spot whinnied and nuzzled her hair. He waved his tail. He hoped to see her again too. He liked her a lot.
+Jenny loves animals. She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She likes to imagine that she is a veterinarian and that her toys are her patients. She has a stethoscope, a bandage, and a syringe. She pretends to check their hearts, their ears, and their paws.
+
+One day, she is playing with her teddy bear, her doll, and her dinosaur. She says to them, "Hello, I am Dr. Jenny. I am here to help you. What is wrong with you today?" She listens to their answers and nods. She says, "Don't worry, I will make you feel better."
+
+She puts the stethoscope on the teddy bear's chest. She says, "Your heart is fine. You just need some honey." She gives him a spoon of honey. She puts the bandage on the doll's arm. She says, "Your arm is hurt. You need to rest." She gives her a hug. She puts the syringe on the dinosaur's tail. She says, "Your tail is sick. You need a shot." She pushes the plunger.
+
+But the dinosaur does not like the shot. He roars and shakes his tail. He knocks over the syringe, the bandage, and the honey. He makes a big mess. He runs away from Jenny. He says, "You are a foolish veterinarian. You don't know how to treat me. You hurt me more."
+
+Jenny is sad and angry. She says, "You are a bad dinosaur. You don't listen to me. You don't appreciate me. You are not my patient anymore." She picks up her teddy bear and her doll. She says, "Come on, let's go. We don't need him. He is rude and ungrateful." She leaves the dinosaur alone.
+
+The dinosaur feels sorry. He realizes that Jenny was trying to help him. He says, "Jenny, wait. I am sorry. I was scared and mean. Please come back. Please be my veterinarian again." He looks for Jenny, but he can't find her. He is lonely and sad. He wishes he had been nicer to Jenny. He says, "I am a foolish dinosaur. I need a friend." He hopes that Jenny will forgive him.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. They had a lot of fun until they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary.
+
+"Look, Tom, it's going to rain!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's go inside, then," Tom said. "We don't want to get wet and cold."
+
+They picked up their toy cars and ran to the house. But they were too late. The rain started to fall and it was very heavy. It made a lot of noise on the roof and the windows. Tom and Lily felt miserable. They wanted to play outside, not sit inside.
+
+They looked at their toy cars. They were wet and dirty. They tried to shake them to make them dry, but it didn't work. They looked at each other and sighed.
+
+"Maybe we can play something else," Lily said. "Do you have any other toys?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He remembered that he had a surprise for Lily. He had found something in the attic that he wanted to show her. He smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Follow me."
+
+He led her to his room and opened his closet. He took out a big box and opened it. Inside, there was a beautiful dollhouse. It had many rooms and furniture and dolls. It looked like a real house, but smaller.
+
+"Wow, Tom, this is amazing!" Lily said. "Where did you get it?"
+
+"It was my mom's when she was little," Tom said. "She said I could have it and share it with you. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. She hugged Tom and thanked him. They forgot about the rain and the toy cars. They started to play with the dollhouse. They made up stories and characters and had a lot of fun. They were happy and not miserable anymore.
+Anna liked to question everything. She wanted to know why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, and why the dog barked. She asked her mom and dad many questions every day.
+
+One day, Anna saw something new in the park. It was an enormous balloon. It was bigger than a house. It had many colors and shapes on it. Anna was curious. She wanted to know what it was and how it worked.
+
+She ran to the balloon and touched it. It was soft and smooth. She saw a man near the balloon. He wore a funny hat and pants. His pants were very big and had many pockets. Anna wondered what he had in his pockets.
+
+She went to the man and said, "Hello, I am Anna. What is this?" She pointed to the balloon.
+
+The man smiled and said, "Hello, Anna. This is a hot air balloon. It can fly in the sky."
+
+Anna was amazed. She asked, "How can it fly?"
+
+The man said, "It has hot air inside. The hot air makes it lighter than the cold air outside. When I turn on this fire, the air gets hotter and the balloon goes up. When I turn off the fire, the air gets cooler and the balloon goes down."
+
+Anna wanted to see more. She asked, "Can I go inside?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, you can. But you need to ask your mom and dad first. And you need to wear this hat and these pants. They will keep you warm and safe."
+
+Anna ran to her mom and dad and asked them if she could go inside the balloon. They said yes, but they wanted to go with her. They followed the man to the balloon. He gave them hats and pants to wear. They looked funny, but they felt cozy.
+

+One day, Lily and Fluffy went outside to play in the snow. It was cold and white and fun. Lily made a snowman and Fluffy chased snowflakes. They laughed and had a good time.
+
+But then, a big dog came and barked at them. The dog was bad and mean and wanted to hurt Fluffy. Fluffy was scared and ran away. Lily was scared too and called for Fluffy.
+
+"Fluffy, Fluffy, where are you?" Lily cried.
+
+"Meow, meow, help me!" Fluffy answered.
+
+Lily followed Fluffy's voice and found her under a bush. Fluffy was shivering and wet and had a scratch on her ear. Lily picked her up and hugged her.
+
+"Fluffy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're okay, you're okay," Lily said.
+
+"Meow, meow, thank you, thank you, you're brave, you're brave," Fluffy said.
+
+Lily and Fluffy ran back to the house and told Mommy what happened. Mommy was angry at the bad dog and gave Fluffy some medicine and a blanket. She also gave Lily and Fluffy some hot chocolate and cookies.

+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big trunk under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They ran to the trunk and opened it. They saw many shiny things and colorful clothes. They were very happy. They took some things and put them on. They looked like kings and queens.
+
+But they did not know that the trunk belonged to a mean witch. She was hiding behind the tree. She saw them take her things. She was very angry. She came out and shouted at them.
+
+"Give me back my things, you naughty boys!" she said. "Or I will turn you into frogs!"
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They tried to return the things to the trunk. But they were too slow. The witch waved her stick and said a magic word. Tom and Sam felt a strange feeling. They looked at each other. They were not boys anymore. They were frogs.
+
+They croaked and hopped away. They hoped to find someone helpful who could change them back. But they never did. They stayed as frogs forever. The witch laughed and took her trunk away. She was very happy. She had two new frogs for her soup.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the big house. She had many toys and books and dolls, but her favorite thing was to explore the rooms and halls. Sometimes she found new places to hide and have fun.
+
+One day, she saw a door that she had never opened before. It was dark and old and had a lock. Lily was curious and nervous. She wanted to see what was inside, but she was also scared. She looked around and saw a key on a table. She took the key and put it in the lock. She turned it and heard a click. She opened the door and went in.
+
+The room was a chamber. It was big and dusty and had many things. There were boxes and chests and shelves and tables. There were clothes and jewels and books and toys. Lily felt like she was in a treasure place. She ran and touched and looked at everything. She forgot about the door and the key and the time.
+
+She was so busy that she did not hear the footsteps outside. She did not hear the voice that called her name. She did not hear the door close and lock. She did not see the shadow that took the key and left.
+
+She only noticed when it was dark and quiet. She looked around and saw that she was alone. She ran to the door and tried to open it. It was stuck. She banged and shouted and cried. She was trapped in the chamber. She was scared and sad. She wished she had not forgotten. She wished someone would find her. She wished she could go back.

+
+She looked around and saw a boy holding her wallet. He was laughing and running away. He had taken her money.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to get her money back. She wanted to tell the teacher. She wanted to cry.

+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with green balls on it. They are curious.
+
+"What are those?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's pick one and see." Ben says.

+
+"Maybe it is a toy. Can we open it?" Lila says.
+
+"OK. Let's try." Ben says.
+
+They use their fingers to make a hole in the green ball. Inside, they see a white thing and a brown thing.
+
+"Wow. What is this?" Lila says.
+
+"I don't know. It looks weird. Do you want to taste it?" Ben says.
+
+Lila nods. She takes a bite of the white thing. It is creamy and smooth. She likes it.
+

+
+"Really? Can I try?" Ben says.
+
+Lila nods. She gives Ben a piece of the white thing. He tastes it. He likes it too.
+
+"Yum. This is good. Can we have more?" Ben says.
+
+Lila nods. They eat more of the avocado. They leave the brown thing. They don't know what it is.

+They are happy. They have found a new snack. They smile at each other. They are still friends.
+One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big worm and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, a worm!" she said.
+
+"Wow, it is long and slimy!" he said.
+
+They put the worm in a jar and gave it some leaves. They wanted to keep it as a pet.
+
+But then, their mom came out and saw the jar.
+
+"What do you have there, kids?" she asked.
+
+"A worm, mom, a worm!" they said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is very nice, but you know you can't keep a worm as a pet. It needs to live in the dirt, not in a jar. How about we let it go and find something else to play with?"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked the worm. They did not want to let it go.
+
+"Please, mom, can we keep it for a little while?" they begged.
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She was a wise mom. She knew how to make her kids happy.
+
+"Okay, you can keep it for a little while, but you have to promise to let it go later. And you have to wipe your hands before you come inside. They are very dirty from the dirt and the worm."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They thanked mom and hugged her. They ran back to the jar and watched the worm.
+
+Mom went inside and got a surprise for them. She got two cookies and two glasses of milk. She put them on a tray and brought them outside.
+
+"Look, kids, I have a surprise for you!" she said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked up and saw the tray. They gasped.
+
+"Cookies and milk, mom, cookies and milk!" they said.
+
+They were very happy. They let the worm go and ran to the tray. They took a cookie and a glass of milk each. They ate and drank and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, mom, thank you!" they said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, kids, you're welcome. You are very good kids. You love animals and you listen to me. I love you very much."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We love you too, mom, we love you too."
+
+They hugged mom and gave her a kiss. They finished their cookies and milk and wiped their mouths. They felt very happy. They had a worm, a surprise, and a wise mom. It was a good day.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park, share their toys and tell each other secrets. One day, Ben found a shiny coin on the ground. He was very happy and showed it to Lily.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is a nice coin! Where did you find it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I found it near the slide. It was hiding under a leaf. Do you want to see it?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I hold it for a moment?" Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded and gave the coin to Lily. Lily held it in her hand and admired it. She felt a little jealous of Ben. She wished she had a coin like that too. She thought of a plan. She put the coin in her pocket and pretended to give it back to Ben.
+
+"Here you go, Ben. Thank you for letting me see it. It is very pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Ben said.
+
+They hugged and went to play on the swings. But Lily did not feel good. She felt guilty for lying to Ben and taking his coin. She wanted to tell him the truth, but she was afraid he would be angry and not be her friend anymore.
+
+The next day, Ben and Lily met at the park again. Ben was looking for his coin. He wanted to show it to his other friends. He could not find it in his pockets or his backpack. He was very sad and confused.
+
+"Lily, have you seen my coin? I can't find it anywhere. I think I lost it," Ben said.
+
+Lily felt a pang in her heart. She knew where the coin was. It was in her pocket. She wanted to give it back to Ben, but she was still scared. She shook her head and said, "No, Ben, I haven't seen it. Maybe you left it at home or dropped it on the way."
+
+Ben sighed and said, "Oh, no. I really liked that coin. It was special. I hope I can find it."
+
+Lily saw the tears in Ben's eyes. She felt very sorry for him. She realized she had made a big mistake. She decided to be brave and honest. She took out the coin from her pocket and said, "Ben, I have something to tell you. I'm sorry, but I lied to you. I took your coin yesterday. I was jealous and wanted to keep it. But I know it was wrong and I feel bad. Please forgive me. Here is your coin. You are my best friend and I don't want to lose you."
+
+Ben was shocked and hurt. He looked at Lily and the coin. He felt angry and betrayed. He said, "Lily, why did you do that? That was not nice. That was not what friends do. You broke my trust. How can I be your friend if you lie to me and take my things?"
+
+Lily started to cry. She said, "I know, Ben, I know. I'm so sorry. I was stupid and selfish. I don't have a good reason. I just wanted the coin. But I don't want it anymore. I want you to have it. It is yours. Please, Ben, please don't be mad at me. Please give me another chance. I promise I will never lie to you or take your things again. I promise I will be a loyal friend to you. Please, Ben, please."

+Ben looked at Lily and the coin. He saw how much she regretted her actions. He saw how much she cared for him. He remembered all the good times they had together. He remembered how they shared their toys and told each other secrets. He remembered how they hugged and played on the swings. He felt his anger and hurt fade away. He felt his love and forgiveness grow. He said, "Lily, I'm still sad and disappointed by what you did. But I also understand that you are sorry and that you want to make things right. I appreciate that you told me the truth and gave me back the coin. That was brave and honest of you. I forgive you, Lily. I still love you. You are still my best friend. But you have to promise me that you will never do something like that again. You have to promise me that you will be a loyal friend to me. Can you do that, Lily?"

+Tom and Lily were friends who lived in the same town. They liked to play together in the park, but sometimes they would quarrel over toys or games. One day, they had a big quarrel because Tom wanted to play with Lily's bike and Lily wanted to play with Tom's ball.
+
+They shouted and cried and said mean things to each other. They did not want to share or say sorry. They went home angry and sad. They did not talk to each other for a long time.
+
+The next day, there was a fair in the town. There were rides and games and balloons and candy. Tom and Lily were very excited to go to the fair with their families. They hoped to have fun and forget their quarrel.
+
+But when they got to the fair, they saw each other in the crowd. They looked away and pretended not to see. They did not want to play together or say hello. They missed their friend, but they were too proud to admit it.
+
+Then, something happened. A big wind came and blew away some of the balloons. One of the balloons was Lily's. She had bought it with her own money and it was her favorite color. She was very sad and scared. She ran after the balloon, but it was too high and too fast.
+
+Tom saw Lily running and crying. He felt sorry for her. He remembered how much he liked her and how much fun they had together. He forgot about their quarrel and their anger. He wanted to help her and make her happy.

+
+Lily is angry. She says, "That is not a roof. That is a mess. You ruined my roof." Ben is angry too. He says, "No, that is a roof. That is a nice roof. You broke my roof." They start to pull and push the box. The box falls down. The roof tears apart. The toys spill out.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They look at their broken house and roof. They think they are silly. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They think of a new game to play with their toys. They are happy again.

+
+But then Mom comes in the kitchen. She sees the bowl of butter and the empty jar. She is not happy. She says, "Tim and Jen, what are you doing? You wasted all the butter! That is too much butter for a cake. That is too much butter for anything. You will get fat if you eat that much butter. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Tim and Jen are sad. They did not know they did something bad. They just wanted to make a cake. They go to their room and leave the bowl of butter on the table. They hope Mom will forgive them and let them make a cake another day.

+
+"But we are very hungry. And the cake looks so yummy." Ben said.
+
+"Why don't you have some fruit or cheese instead? There are some in the refrigerator. You can choose what you like." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben opened the refrigerator. They saw the fruit and the cheese. But they also saw the cake. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. It smelled good.
+
+"Maybe we can have a little bit of cake. Just a tiny slice. Mom will not notice." Ben whispered.
+

+
+He takes the box and the blocks from Lily and Ben. He does not ask or say please. He is rude and mean.

+
+He pushes Lily and Ben. He laughs and starts to build with the blocks. He does not share or talk. He is selfish and lonely.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want to play with the blocks. They do not like Tom.
+
+But then, they see a big label on the box. The label has words and a picture of a man. The words say: "To Lily and Ben, from Grandpa. I hope you enjoy these blocks. They are for you to learn and have fun. Remember to be kind and generous to others. Love, Grandpa."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They know Grandpa loves them. They know the blocks are theirs. They know Tom is wrong.
+
+They go to Tom and show him the label.
+
+"Look, Tom. This is our box. Our Grandpa gave it to us. He wants us to be kind and generous to others. You are not kind or generous. You are rude and mean. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry and give them back," Lily says.
+
+"Yeah, Tom. You are not powerful. You are selfish and lonely. You do not have friends. You do not have fun. You should be nice and share. You should talk and play with us," Ben says.

+
+But then, their mom called them for lunch. They had to stop playing and go to the kitchen. They did not want to leave their tower. They were afraid it would fall down or someone would break it. They wanted to keep their tower safe.

Ben and Mia looked at the cookbook and saw many pictures of different cakes. They wanted to make an original cake, not like the ones in the book.
+
+They decided to use their own ingredients and mix them together. They took some flour, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and chocolate. They also added some cheese, ketchup, mustard, and pickles.

+
+Anna cries. She tells her mom what happened. Her mom hugs her and says.
+

+
+"Can you call our parents and show them the photo?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, I can do that. What are their phone numbers?" the man asks.

+Lily said, "Please try, Tom. I will hold your hand. We can go to the bench and sit down. Then we can call Mom. She will come and make your foot better."
+
+Tom said, "OK, Lily. Thank you. You are a good sister. Please help me."
+
+Lily helped Tom stand up. She held his hand. They walked slowly to the bench. They sat down. Lily took out her phone. She called Mom. She told her what happened. Mom said she would come soon.

+"OK, here," Ben says. He gives the bottle to Sara. She squeezes the bottle and rubs some lotion on her leg.
+
+They giggle. They like the lotion. It smells good. It feels good.
+
+They put more lotion on their faces, their hands, their feet. They are very happy.
+
+But then they hear their moms calling them.
+
+"Sara! Ben! Time to go home!" Mom says.

+They look at each other. They are covered in lotion. They are very blue.
+
+"Oh, no!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+They jog to their moms. Their moms see them. Their moms are very surprised.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks.
+
+"We found lotion. We put it on. It is blue," Sara and Ben say.
+
+They show the bottle to their moms. Their moms read the label. It says "blue hair dye".
+
+"Oh, no!" Mom says.
+
+They laugh. They are not mad. They think it is funny.
+
+They go home. They wash the lotion off. They are not blue anymore.
+
+They hug their moms. They say sorry.
+
+They are still friends. They still like ducks. They still like lotion.
+
+But they do not like blue hair dye.

+
+Lily saw Ben and wanted to help him. She went to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben looked up and nodded. He smiled a little. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. Thank you for asking me."

+Anna and Ben love to race. They race with their bikes, their feet, their cars. They race in the park, in the yard, in the street. They always have fun when they race.
+
+One day, they decide to race with their kites. They go to the hill with their mom and dad. They each have a kite with a long tail and a bright color. Anna's kite is red, Ben's kite is blue.
+
+"Are you ready to race?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Ben says. "Let's see who can fly their kite higher and faster!"
+
+They count to three and run with their kites. They let go of the strings and watch their kites soar in the sky. The wind is strong and makes their kites dance and twist.
+
+"Wow, look at my kite!" Anna says. "It is so high and fast!"
+
+"No, look at my kite!" Ben says. "It is higher and faster than yours!"
+
+They keep watching their kites and cheering for them. They are very excited and happy.
+
+After a minute, their mom calls them. "Time to go, kids! It is getting dark and we have to go home!"
+
+"Okay, mom!" Anna and Ben say. They pull their kites back and fold them. They run to their mom and dad and hug them.

+Lily and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their toys and clothes in their luggage. They put their luggage in the car and said goodbye to their dog, Spot.
+
+They drove for a long time and saw many things. They saw cows and horses and trees and bridges. They sang songs and played games. They ate snacks and drank juice. They were having fun.
+
+But then it got dark. The sun went down and the sky turned black. Lily and Ben could not see much outside. They felt sleepy and bored. They wanted to get to their hotel soon.
+
+Mom and Dad said they were almost there. They told Lily and Ben to be patient and quiet. They said they would see the hotel lights soon.
+
+Lily and Ben tried to wait. But they were very tired. They closed their eyes and cuddled with their blankets. They dreamed of the hotel and the pool and the ice cream.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the car horn. Mom and Dad shouted. Lily and Ben opened their eyes and saw a big truck in front of them. The truck had stopped and blocked the road. Mom and Dad had to stop the car too.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what was happening. They saw other cars behind them. They heard people talking and honking. They saw flashing lights and sirens.
+
+Mom and Dad said they were okay. They said there was an accident and they had to wait for the police and the ambulance. They said they were sorry and they loved them.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Mom and Dad. They said they loved them too. They said they were not mad and they understood.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the stars. They saw the moon. They saw a sign that said "Hotel". They knew they were close.
+
+They reached for their luggage. They reached for their toys and books. They reached for each other. They smiled and hoped. They knew they would get to their hotel soon. They knew they would have a good trip. They knew they were safe and happy.
+It was a cold and rainy day. Lily and Max wanted to play outside, but their mom said no. She said they would get sick if they got wet.
+
+"But we are bored, mom!" Lily said. "Can we play in the attic?"
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She said yes, but they had to be careful. She said the attic had a lot of old things and a leaky roof.
+
+Lily and Max ran up the stairs. They found a big box of toys and books. They started to play with them. They had fun.
+
+But then they heard a drip, drip, drip. They looked up and saw water coming from the roof. It was making a puddle on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Max said. "The roof is leaking! We have to move the toys!"
+
+They tried to move the box, but it was too heavy. They tried to cover it with a blanket, but it was too small. They tried to stop the water with a bucket, but it was too full.
+
+The water kept dripping. The toys and books started to soak. Lily and Max started to cry.
+
+Mom heard them and came up. She saw the mess and hugged them. She said it was not their fault. She said the roof was old and needed to be fixed.
+
+She helped them move the box to a dry spot. She said they could still play with some of the toys and books, but they had to dry them first.
+
+She said they could also play a game or read a story with her. She said they could have some hot chocolate and cookies later.
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They said they loved mom. They said they were sorry for the toys and books.
+
+Mom said it was okay. She said she loved them too. She said they were brave and smart.
+
+They played and read and had fun. They forgot about the cold and the rain. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben like to bake with Mom. They help Mom to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. They make shapes with the dough on a tray. Mom puts the tray in the oven and sets a timer.
+
+"Mom, can we bake a space cake?" Lily asks. She likes to look at the stars and planets in her books.
+
+"A space cake? What is that?" Mom asks.
+
+"It is a cake that looks like space. With stars and moons and rockets and aliens," Ben says. He likes to pretend he is an astronaut.
+
+"That sounds fun. How can we make a space cake?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben think hard. They look around the kitchen and find some things. They find blue and black food coloring, sprinkles, marshmallows, chocolate chips and candy.
+
+"We can use these to decorate the cake," Lily says.
+
+"Good idea. Let's wait for the timer to beep and then we can take out the cake and let it cool," Mom says.
+
+Soon, the timer beeps and Mom takes out the cake. It smells yummy. Lily and Ben help Mom to cut the cake in a circle. They spread blue and black frosting on the cake. They make stars with sprinkles, moons with marshmallows, rockets with chocolate chips and aliens with candy.
+
+"Wow, our space cake looks amazing," Ben says.
+
+"It is a big and beautiful space cake," Lily says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. "You are very creative and clever. I'm proud of you. Let's share our space cake with Dad when he comes home," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They can't wait to show Dad their space cake and eat a slice. They love to bake with Mom.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They saw some smoke coming from the house next door. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Let's go see!" Tom said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom said we have to stay here," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to know. Maybe it's a fire. Maybe someone needs help," Tom said.
+
+He ran to the fence and looked over. He saw a man with a big hat and a long stick. He was making the smoke with the stick. He was blowing it at some boxes.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom shouted.
+
+The man looked at Tom and smiled. He said, "I'm making honey. I'm a beekeeper. The smoke makes the bees calm. Then I can take some honey from the boxes."
+
+"Wow, that's cool. Can I have some honey?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, come over. I'll give you some. And you can see the bees. They are very nice. They make the honey for us," the man said.
+
+Tom was happy. He wanted to see the bees and taste the honey. He forgot about Lily. He climbed over the fence and ran to the man.
+
+Lily was frustrated. She wanted to see the bees and taste the honey too. But she also wanted to obey Mom. She didn't know what to do.
+
+She guessed Tom would come back soon. She guessed the man was nice. She guessed the bees were not scary. She guessed the honey was sweet.
+
+But she was not sure. She wished Tom would come back. She wished he would share the honey with her. She wished he would not forget her. She wished he would say sorry.
+Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big cooler where they kept their juice and snacks. One day, they saw a purple balloon in the sky. It looked very pretty and shiny.
+
+"Look, Jen, a purple balloon!" Ben said. "Let's get it!"
+
+They ran after the balloon, but it was too high and fast. They did not see where they were going. They did not hear the big truck that was coming.
+
+The truck driver saw the twins and tried to stop, but it was too late. He hit the cooler and it flew in the air. The juice and snacks spilled everywhere. The twins screamed and fell down.
+
+The purple balloon popped and fell to the ground. It was not pretty and shiny anymore. It was just a piece of rubber.
+
+The truck driver got out and called for help. He was very sorry and scared. He hoped the twins were not hurt too much.
+
+But they were. Jen and Ben did not get up. They did not play outside anymore. They did not see the purple balloon anymore. They did not happen anymore.
+Jen and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box near the slide. It had a red wrap and a bow.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Jen said. "Maybe it is a gift for us!"
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He ran to the box and pulled the wrap.
+
+"Wait, Tom! We don't know what is inside!" Jen said. She followed him.
+
+Tom opened the box. He saw a big, furry thing. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear!
+
+The bear was angry. It jumped out of the box and roared. It wanted to hurt Tom and Jen.
+
+"Help!" Tom screamed. He tried to run away, but the bear was faster. It caught him and bit his leg. Tom felt a lot of pain.
+
+"Tom!" Jen cried. She wanted to help him. She picked up a stick and hit the bear. The bear growled and let go of Tom. It turned to Jen.
+
+Jen was scared. She held the stick in front of her. She hoped the bear would go away.
+
+But the bear did not go away. It swiped the stick with its paw. It knocked Jen down. It bit her arm. Jen felt a lot of pain.
+
+No one heard their screams. No one came to save them. The bear hurt them until they stopped moving. Then it dragged them into the box. It ate them. The end.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to bake with Mom. Mom showed them how to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. Then they rolled out the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Lily made stars and Tom made circles.
+
+They put the cookies on a tray and Mom put them in the oven. She told them to wait for the whistle. The whistle was a timer that made a loud noise when the cookies were done. Lily and Tom played with their toys while they waited.
+
+Soon, they heard the whistle. Mom took out the cookies and put them on a rack to cool. They smelled so good. Lily and Tom wanted to eat them right away, but Mom said they were too hot. She said they could have one each after dinner.
+
+But Tom was selfish. He did not want to share with Lily. He waited until Mom was not looking and took two cookies from the rack. He hid them under his pillow and ran to his room. He thought he was clever.
+
+Lily saw what Tom did. She was sad and angry. She told Mom. Mom was not happy. She went to Tom's room and found the cookies. She scolded Tom for being selfish and greedy. She took away the cookies and gave them to Lily. She said Tom could not have any cookies for dessert.
+
+Tom cried and said he was sorry. He learned his lesson. He said he would share with Lily next time. Lily forgave him and gave him a hug. She said they could bake more cookies together. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them. They all had a nice dinner and enjoyed their cookies.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, it was time to go home. Tom's mom said, "Tom, we have to go now. Say bye to Lily." Tom did not want to go. He wanted to stay in the park. He said, "No, mom. I want to stay. I want to play more."
+
+Lily's mom said, "Lily, we have to go too. Say bye to Tom." Lily did not want to go either. She wanted to stay in the park. She said, "No, mom. I want to stay. I want to play more."

+
+Tom and Lily went home with their moms. They were still sad, but they were also happy. They knew that they had a good friend. They knew that they could play in the park again. They smiled and waved. They said, "Bye, park. Thank you for the fun."
+Lila wanted to wear her new blouse to the park. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked how it looked on her. But her mom said no. She said the blouse was too fragile for playing outside. She said Lila had to wear her old shirt and jeans.
+
+Lila was angry. She did not want to wear her old clothes. She wanted to wear her new blouse. She said to her mom, "No, I want my blouse. It is pretty. I don't like my shirt. It is ugly."
+
+Her mom said, "Lila, don't be rude. You can wear your blouse another day. Today we are going to the park. You need to wear something comfortable and sturdy. Your blouse is fragile. It can rip or get dirty easily. Please listen to me and change your clothes."
+
+Lila refused to listen. She ran to her room and locked the door. She put on her blouse and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. She thought she looked like a princess. She did not care what her mom said. She decided to sneak out of the window and go to the park by herself.
+
+She climbed out of the window and jumped to the ground. She did not see the sharp rock on the grass. She landed on it and felt a pain in her leg. She also heard a tear in her blouse. She looked down and saw a big hole in her blouse. She also saw blood on her leg. She started to cry. She wished she had listened to her mom. She did not feel like a princess anymore. She felt scared and alone. She did not know how to get back home. She did not know what to do. She had made a big mistake.

+
+Mom opens the can and gives Lily and Milo a piece of grapefruit. They smell it and lick it. They make a face. They do not like grapefruit. It is bitter and sour. They spit it out and shake their heads. They say, "No, Mom, no. This is not tuna. This is bad. We do not want grapefruit. We want tuna."
+
+Mom laughs and hugs Lily and Milo. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily and Milo. I was joking. I have tuna for you. Here, have some tuna. It is yummy and good for you.

+
+But it was too late. Lily's hand was very hurt. She had to go to the hospital. She had to get stitches and medicine. She could not play for a long time. She was in pain and sad.
+
+Ben was sad too. He wished he had stopped Lily. He wished the dog had not been wild. He wished they had not gone to the park. He wished they had stayed home and watched a movie.

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog behind a fence. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and loud bark.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Ben says. "It is so powerful. It can run fast and jump high."
+
+Anna is scared of the dog. She thinks it is mean and angry. She holds Ben's hand. "I don't like that dog," she says. "It is scary. It might bite us."
+
+Ben wants to be brave. He thinks the dog is cool and fun. He lets go of Anna's hand. He walks closer to the fence. He says to the dog, "Hi, dog. What is your name? Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The dog does not like Ben. It does not want to play with him. It thinks Ben is annoying and rude. It growls and snarls at Ben. It jumps on the fence. It tries to bite Ben.
+
+Ben is scared of the dog. He runs back to Anna. He cries and hugs Anna. "I'm sorry, Anna," he says. "You were right. That dog is scary. It is not cool and fun. It is mean and angry."
+
+Anna tells Ben, "It's okay, Ben. I'm here. Don't cry. The dog can't hurt us. The fence is strong. It keeps the dog away. Let's go play somewhere else."

+Lila was an adventurous girl who liked to explore the woods near her home. She wanted to improve her skills as a hunter, so she took her bow and arrows and went to look for animals. She saw a rabbit, a squirrel and a deer, but they were too fast or too far for her to shoot.
+
+She was about to give up when she heard a loud roar. She followed the sound and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry, and it did not like Lila in its territory. Lila was scared, but she also wanted to prove herself. She aimed her bow at the bear and shot an arrow.
+
+The arrow hit the bear, but it only made it more furious. The bear charged at Lila, who tried to run away. But she was not fast enough, and the bear caught her and bit her. Lila screamed in pain and fear, but no one heard her. The bear dragged her to its den and ate her.
+
+The moral of the story is: do not be too adventurous and reckless, or you might get into trouble. Listen to your parents and respect the animals. Hunting is not a game, and some animals are dangerous.

+
+The teacher says, "Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Where are your books? You have an exam tomorrow. You need to study."
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "We do not have the books. We do not know where they are. We do not want to do the exam. We want to play."
+
+The teacher says, "Do not lie to me. Lily told me everything. You hid the books in the hole. You tried to prevent the exam. That is very bad. You are naughty. You are lazy. You are dishonest."
+
+The teacher digs up the books. They are dirty. They are wet. They are torn. They are delicate. They are ruined.
+
+The teacher says, "Look what you did. You destroyed the books. They are delicate. They are valuable. They are for learning. You wasted them. You wasted your time. You wasted your chance. You will not play. You will not pass. You will fail. You will be sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben cry. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We are sorry, Lily. We made a mistake. We did not think. We did not care. We were foolish. We were selfish. Please forgive us. Please help us. Please teach us."

+"Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. I like blue too," Ben says. He takes the gun and smiles.
+
+They go inside the fort and pretend to shoot the bad guys. They make loud noises. "Bang! Bang! You are dead!" Tim says.
+
+"Pow! Pow! I got you!" Ben says.
+
+They have fun and laugh. They are happy. They do not see the dog. The dog is big and brown. It likes wood. It sees the fort and runs to it. It bites the wood and breaks it. The fort falls down.
+
+Tim and Ben are scared. They run out of the fort and see the dog. The dog barks and wags its tail. It wants to play.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tim says. "You broke our fort. You are a bad dog."
+
+"No, don't shoot the dog!" Ben says. "It is nice. It did not know. It is sorry."
+
+Ben puts down his gun and goes to the dog. He pets the dog and says nice words. The dog licks his face and makes happy noises.
+
+Tim sees that the dog is nice. He puts down his gun too and goes to the dog. He pets the dog and says nice words too. The dog licks his face and makes happy noises.
+
+They forget about the fort and the guns. They play with the dog. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. The dog is happy too. They are friends.
+Tommy and Lily were playing with their toy doctor kit. They liked to pretend they were doctors and help their stuffed animals. Tommy had a teddy bear with a hole in his tummy. He said, "Oh no, teddy needs an operation. He has a bad boo-boo."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I can help. I am a good doctor. You are a good doctor too. We need to be very careful and gentle. This is a delicate operation."
+
+They put teddy on a pillow and got their tools. They had a plastic knife, a band-aid, some cotton and a needle. Tommy said, "First, we need to cut the hole bigger. Then we need to put some cotton inside. Then we need to sew the hole with the needle. Can you do that, Lily?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I can. But you need to hold teddy still. He might be scared and wiggle. We don't want to hurt him more." She took the knife and made a small cut. Then she stuffed some cotton in the hole. She picked up the needle and said, "Now, I need to twist the needle and make stitches. This is the hard part."
+
+Tommy held teddy and said, "You can do it, Lily. You are very smart and brave. I will count for you. One, two, three, four, five. There, you did it. You made five stitches. Teddy is all better now." He gave Lily a hug and said, "You are the best doctor ever. Thank you for helping teddy."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tommy. You are a great doctor too. Thank you for holding teddy. He is very lucky to have you as a friend." She put a band-aid on the stitches and said, "Now, teddy needs some rest and some love. Let's cuddle him and read him a story."
+
+They took teddy to their bed and snuggled with him. They read him a story about a brave bear who went on an adventure. They said, "We love you, teddy. You are a very strong and happy bear. We are proud of you." They kissed him and said, "Good night, teddy. Sweet dreams." They closed their eyes and fell asleep.
+Lila loved to play with bubbles. She had a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand that made many bubbles at once. She liked to blow bubbles in the park, in the garden, and in her room.
+
+One day, she wanted to blow bubbles in the kitchen. She saw a big pot of water on the stove. She thought it was a good place to make bubbles. She did not know that the water was very hot and that her mom was cooking soup.
+
+She took her bottle and wand and rushed to the pot. She dipped the wand in the water and blew hard. But instead of bubbles, she saw steam and heard a loud hiss. The water was boiling and it burned her hand. She dropped the wand and screamed.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw what happened and quickly turned off the stove. She took Lila's hand and put it under cold water. She hugged her and said, "Lila, you should never play with hot water. It is very dangerous and can hurt you. You should always ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen."
+
+Lila felt sorry and scared. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to make bubbles. I didn't know the water was hot."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "It's okay, Lila. I know you love bubbles. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Bubbles are fun, but safety is more important. Next time, let's make bubbles outside, okay?"
+
+Lila nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful and listen to your parents. They know what is best for you and want to keep you safe.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and learn new things. But sometimes they do not agree on what to do.
+
+One day, their mom gives them a test. She says, "This is an interesting test. You have to look at the pictures and tell me what they are. If you do well, you will get a prize."
+
+Tom and Lily are excited. They want to get the prize. They sit on the table and look at the test. The test has many pictures of animals, fruits, and toys.
+
+Tom is good at the test. He knows all the pictures. He says, "This is a dog. This is an apple. This is a ball." He smiles and looks at his mom.
+
+Lily is not so good at the test. She does not know some of the pictures. She says, "This is a cat. This is a banana. This is a doll." She frowns and looks at Tom.
+
+Tom sees that Lily is not happy. He wants to help her. He whispers, "Lily, this is not a cat. This is a lion. This is not a banana. This is a lemon. This is not a doll. This is a car."
+
+Lily hears Tom. She thinks he is nice. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." She repeats what he says. "This is a lion. This is a lemon. This is a car."
+
+But their mom hears them too. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, Lily, you are not supposed to talk during the test. You are spoiling the test. You are not following the rules. You will not get the prize."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They did not mean to spoil the test. They just wanted to help each other. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will not do it again. Can we still get the prize?"
+
+Their mom thinks for a while. She says, "I know you are sorry. And I know you love each other. But you have to learn to do the test by yourself. That is how you will learn more. Maybe next time you will get the prize. But for now, you can have a hug and a kiss."
+
+Tom and Lily hug and kiss their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. You are the best mom." They still think the test was interesting. But they also think that being honest and fair is more important.

+
+Lily and Max put on their seat belts. They clicked the buckles. They heard a loud beep. Mom said the beep was a reminder to check the buckles. She said sometimes buckles could be loose or broken. She said loose or broken buckles could not prevent accidents.
+
+Lily and Max checked their buckles. They pulled and pushed them. They were not loose or broken. They were tight and strong. They told Mom their buckles were good. Mom smiled and said they were smart. She said smart kids knew how to prevent accidents.
+

+
+"But I want to use your crayons now. They are better than mine. Please, Tim, let me use them," Mia says.
+
+"No, Mia, no. Go away. You are not my friend. You are a bad girl," Tim says.
+
+Mia gets angry. She grabs Tim's record player and throws it on the floor. It breaks. The music stops. Tim cries.
+
+"Mia, why did you do that? You broke my record player. It was my favorite toy. You are mean. I hate you," Tim says.
+

+
+But Lily was not alone under the bush. There was a small object hidden in the dirt. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. Lily was curious. She picked up the object and looked at it. She wondered what it was and who left it there.

+Lily did not listen. She hugged the object and said, "No, no, no! It is mine, mine, mine!"
+
+Ben decided to leave. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He said, "Fine, Lily. You can keep the object. But you are not a good friend. You are selfish and greedy. I do not want to play with you anymore."

+
+"I want a big slice!" Tom said.
+

+
+"Wow, look at this bike!" Ben said. "It has two wheels and a bell. Can we ride it?"
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, but we have to be careful. This is Dad's bike. He said he will teach me how to ride it when I am bigger. We have to make a promise. We will not scratch it or break it. OK?"
+
+Ben agreed. "OK, I promise. You go first, then I will try."
+
+Lily climbed on the bike. She held the handlebars and pushed the pedals. The bike moved slowly. She felt happy and proud. She rang the bell. "Look, Ben, I am riding!"
+
+Ben clapped his hands. "Good job, Lily! Now it is my turn."
+
+Lily got off the bike. She gave it to Ben. Ben was excited. He wanted to go faster. He pushed the pedals harder. The bike went faster. He felt the wind in his hair. He smiled. He forgot about the promise.

+Ben looked at the bike. He felt sorry and scared. He wiped his tears. He hugged Lily.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to break the bike. I did not mean to break the promise. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily sighed. She hugged Ben back.
+
+"It is OK, Ben. I forgive you. But we have to tell Dad the truth. Maybe he can fix the bike. Maybe he will not be too mad. Come on, let us go."
+
+They held hands. They walked to the house. They hoped Dad would understand. They learned a lesson. They would keep their promises.
