+The star twinkled and seemed to wink at him. The boy felt happy and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you, mom. And I love the star."
+
+His mom said, "I love you, too, my son. And I love the star, too. It is a gift from God. He made it to shine for us and remind us of his love."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. Sometimes they play with toys, sometimes they read books, sometimes they make art. But when it is dark, they have to go to bed.
+
+One night, Anna and Ben do not want to go to bed. They want to play more. They think of a plan. They say to Mom, "We are very tired. We want to go to bed now." Mom is happy. She says, "Okay, good night, my sweeties. Sleep well." She gives them a hug and a kiss and turns off the light.
+
+But Anna and Ben do not sleep. They wait for Mom to go away. Then they turn on the light and play more. They laugh and talk and have fun. They do not hear Mom coming back.
+
+Mom opens the door and sees them playing. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, what are you doing? You said you were tired. You said you wanted to go to bed. Why did you lie to me?" Anna and Ben feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play more. We were not honest with you."
+
+Mom says, "I understand that you like to play, but you also need to sleep. And you need to be honest with me. Lying is not nice. It makes me sad and it makes you sad. Do you understand?" Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We will not lie to you again. We will be honest with you." Mom says, "Thank you, my sweeties. I love you very much. Now, please go to bed and sleep well." She gives them another hug and a kiss and turns off the light.
+
+Anna and Ben go to bed and close their eyes. They feel sorry for lying to Mom, but they also feel happy that Mom loves them and forgives them. They say to each other, "Good night, twin. I love you." They fall asleep and have sweet dreams.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together at the park. They slide, swing, and run. They have fun.
+
+But after a while, they feel tired. They want to nap. They tell their moms.
+
+"Mom, can we nap?" Tom asks.
+
+"Mom, can we nap?" Mia asks.
+
+Their moms smile and nod. They are polite. They say thank you to each other. They take Tom and Mia to their cars.
+
+Tom and Mia have their blankets and pillows. They snuggle in their seats. They close their eyes. They nap.
+
+When they wake up, they are happy. They go to their homes. They have a bath. They use shampoo. They wash their hair. They rinse and dry. They smell good.
+
+They have dinner with their families. They tell them about their day. They say good night. They go to bed. They dream of the park. They are friends.
+Sara likes to play with her friends at the park. They are a group of four. They have fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Sara's favorite color is blue. She has a blue dress, a blue hat and a blue ball.
+
+One day, Sara brings her blue ball to the park. She hopes to play catch with her friends. But when she gets there, she sees a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It runs to Sara and grabs her blue ball in its mouth. Sara is scared and sad. She wants her blue ball back.
+
+She cries and calls for help. Her friends hear her and come to see what is wrong. They see the dog and the blue ball. They are brave and try to get the ball from the dog. They talk to the dog in a nice voice. They say, "Please, give us the ball. It is Sara's ball. She loves it very much."
+
+The dog listens to them. It wags its tail and drops the ball. Sara is happy and hugs her friends. They hug her back and say, "We are your group. We are here for you." Sara smiles and says, "Thank you. You are the best group ever." They play catch with the blue ball and have fun. Sara hopes the dog will find a good home. She thinks it is a nice dog. She hopes it will be happy too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They had a big box where they kept their toys and tools. The box had a lock and only Tom had the key.
+
+"Tom, can I use your shovel?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but you have to give it back," Tom said. He took out the key and unlocked the box. He gave Lily the shovel and locked the box again.
+
+Lily started to dig a hole near the fence. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She dug and dug until she saw something shiny.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found something!" Lily shouted.
+
+Tom ran over to see what Lily had found. He saw a shiny badge with a star on it. It looked like the badge that the law man wore.
+
+"Wow, that's cool! Maybe it belongs to the law man!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe he lost it when he came to our house," Lily said. "Do you remember when he came to talk to Daddy?"
+
+"Yes, I remember. He was very chubby and had a big hat. He said Daddy had to pay a fine for breaking the law. Daddy was not happy," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe we should give the badge back to the law man. Maybe he will be happy and let Daddy off the fine," Lily said.
+
+"Good idea, Lily. Let's go and find him," Tom said.
+
+They took the badge and ran to the front of the house. They saw the law man's car parked outside. They knocked on the window and waved the badge.
+
+"Hello, law man, we have something for you!" Lily said.
+
+The law man rolled down the window and looked at them. He saw the badge and smiled.
+
+"Hello, kids, where did you find that?" he asked.
+
+"We found it in the garden. We think you dropped it when you came to our house," Tom said.
+
+"Is that so? Well, thank you very much for finding it. This is my special badge. I was looking for it everywhere," the law man said.
+
+He took the badge and pinned it on his shirt. He looked at Tom and Lily and winked.
+
+"You know what, kids, you are very honest and kind. I think I can make a deal with your Daddy. Maybe I can reduce his fine a little bit. How does that sound?" he said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and clapped their hands.
+
+"That sounds great, law man! Thank you, thank you!" they said.
+
+The law man got out of his car and walked to the door. He knocked and waited for Daddy to answer. Tom and Lily followed him and hugged his legs.
+
+They hoped Daddy would be happy too.
+Sara and Ben love to celebrate. They like to sing and dance and clap their hands. They like to wear funny hats and blow horns. They like to eat cake and ice cream. They like to celebrate with their friends and family.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben hear that there is a big march in the park. A march is when many people walk together and make noise. They want to join the march and celebrate. They ask their mom and dad if they can go. Their mom and dad say yes, but they have to be careful and stay close to them.
+
+Sara and Ben put on their funny hats and grab their horns. They follow their mom and dad to the park. They see many people with flags and banners and balloons. They hear drums and trumpets and cheers. They feel excited and happy. They join the march and celebrate.
+
+But soon, Sara and Ben get tired. The march is very long and wide. They can't see their mom and dad anymore. They get lost in the crowd. They feel scared and sad. They don't want to celebrate anymore. They want to go home.
+
+They start to cry and call for their mom and dad. They hope they can hear them. They hope they can find them. They hope they can hug them.
+
+Then, they see a big sign with their names on it. It says: "Sara and Ben, we love you! Happy birthday!" They look up and see their mom and dad waving at them. They run to them and hug them. They feel relieved and happy. They realize that the march was a surprise party for them. They smile and laugh and celebrate. They have the best birthday ever.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They saw a big bin near the slide. It was green and had a lid.
+
+"Let's see what's inside the bin," Lily said. "Maybe there's a secret message or a treasure."
+
+They ran to the bin and lifted the lid. They saw a lot of trash and a fake snake. The snake was plastic and had red eyes.
+
+"Wow, look at this snake!" Ben said. "It's so scary and cool. I want to keep it."
+
+He reached for the snake, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"Wait, Ben, don't touch it!" she said. "It might be a trap. Maybe someone put it there to trick us or hurt us."
+
+She looked around and saw a man hiding behind a tree. He was wearing a hat and sunglasses. He had a camera in his hand.
+
+"Look, there's the bad guy!" she said. "He's watching us. He wants to see us scream and cry. He's not a nice person."
+
+She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him away from the bin. They ran to the other side of the park, where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+"Mom, mom, we found a fake snake in the bin!" they told her. "It was a trap from a bad guy. He wanted to scare us, but we were brave and smart. We ran away from him."
+
+Their mom hugged them and praised them.
+
+"You did very well, my little spies," she said. "You were careful and clever. You didn't fall for the fake snake. You raised the lid and saw the truth. I'm very proud of you."
+
+She gave them a kiss and a cookie. They smiled and ate their cookie. They were happy and safe. They had a fun adventure in the park.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big sack full of toys. They dumped the toys on the grass and made a messy pile. They had fun with the cars, the dolls, the balls and the blocks.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a red car!" Ben said.
+
+"I have a yellow doll!" Lily said.
+
+They zoomed and hugged their toys. They did not hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Ben! Lily! Time for lunch!" Mom said.
+
+She came out of the house and saw the messy pile of toys. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What have you done? You have to clean up your toys!" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at Mom. They did not want to clean up. They wanted to play more.
+
+"Can we play a little more, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, you can't. You have to answer me when I call you. And you have to put your toys back in the sack. Now!" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily sighed. They did not like to answer Mom when they were having fun. They did not like to put their toys back in the sack. They liked to make a messy pile. But they knew they had to do what Mom said. They started to pick up their toys and put them in the sack. They hoped they could play again after lunch.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. But today, they have a problem. Ben wants to wear his red shoe, and Lily wants to wear her blue shoe. But they only have one pair of each.
+
+"Give me the red shoe!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily says. "You can have the blue shoe!"
+
+They pull and tug at the red shoe. They are very angry. They do not want to share.
+
+Mom sees them. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! You are being very naughty and selfish. You have to share your shoes. Or you will not go to the park at all!"
+
+But Ben and Lily do not listen. They keep fighting. They are very lazy. They do not want to put on their own shoes. They want the other one's shoe.
+
+Mom gets very mad. She says, "That's it! You have lost your chance. You will not go to the park today. You will stay at home and clean your room. And you will not get any ice cream later."
+
+Ben and Lily cry. They are very sad. They wish they had shared their shoes. But it is too late. They have to stay at home and clean their room. They have no fun. They have a bad day.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big cloud in the sky. It was white and fluffy and looked like a sheep.
+
+"Let's pretend we are sheep too," said Lily. "We can make baa sounds and eat grass."
+
+Tom nodded and followed Lily. They crawled on the grass and made baa sounds. They felt happy and silly.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was their mom. She was calling them to go home. It was time for lunch.
+
+"Come on, Tom and Lily," she said. "We have to go now. You can play later."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to go. They wanted to stay and be sheep. They tried to resist. They hid behind a tree and kept making baa sounds.
+
+"Where are you, Tom and Lily?" their mom asked. "I can hear you, but I can't see you. You are not sheep, you are children. Come out now."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They knew their mom was right. They were not sheep, they were children. And they were hungry too.
+
+They came out from behind the tree. They stopped making baa sounds. They said sorry to their mom.
+
+"It's okay, Tom and Lily," their mom said. "I know you were having fun. But you have to listen to me when I call you. Now let's go home and have some lunch. Maybe we can have some cheese. Cheese comes from sheep, you know."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked cheese. They held their mom's hand and walked home. They looked at the cloud one more time. It still looked like a sheep. But they knew it was not. It was a cloud. And they were children. And they loved their mom.
+Lily and Ben were very excited to go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. Mom and dad said they would join a tour with a guide who would explain everything about the animals.
+
+When they got to the zoo, they followed the guide with a big hat and a microphone. He took them to different cages and told them the names and facts about the animals. Lily and Ben listened carefully and asked many questions.
+
+"Look, there are the lions!" Lily said, pointing to a group of big cats with yellow fur and long tails. "They are so strong and loud!"
+
+"Yes, they are," the guide said. "They are the kings of the jungle. They live in families called prides and hunt together. Do you know what they eat?"
+
+"Meat!" Ben said.
+
+"Very good, Ben. They eat meat from other animals, like zebras and antelopes. But they also need to drink water and rest a lot."
+
+"Can we touch them?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, we can't touch them. They are wild animals and they might bite or scratch us. We have to stay behind the fence and respect their space."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood that the lions were not like their pet cat at home. They were beautiful but dangerous.
+
+The tour continued and they saw many other animals, like monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and penguins. The guide explained how they lived, what they ate, and how they were different from each other. Lily and Ben learned a lot and had fun.
+
+At the end of the tour, mom and dad thanked the guide and gave him a tip. They asked Lily and Ben what their favorite animal was.
+
+"I liked the monkeys," Lily said. "They were funny and smart. They could swing from the trees and make funny noises."
+
+"I liked the elephants," Ben said. "They were big and gentle. They could spray water with their noses and carry things with their trunks."
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They were proud of their children for being curious and polite. They said they had a wonderful day at the zoo and that they would come back again.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks and geese. Lily wanted to feed them some bread. Ben said no.
+
+"Geese are mean. They bite and hiss. We should stay away," Ben said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the pond with a piece of bread in her hand. She saw a big white goose with a long neck and a red beak. She thought it was pretty. She threw the bread to the goose and smiled.
+
+The goose did not want the bread. It wanted Lily's hand. It swam fast to Lily and snapped at her fingers. Lily was scared. She tried to pull her hand away, but the goose was strong. It did not let go.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily cried.
+
+Ben heard Lily and ran to help her. He picked up a stick and hit the goose on the head. The goose let go of Lily's hand and honked loudly. It was angry. It flapped its wings and chased Ben and Lily. They ran away, but they were slow. The goose was fast.
+
+The goose caught up with them and bit them on their legs and arms. They screamed and cried. They could not resist. The goose hurt them a lot.
+
+A man saw what was happening and came to help. He shooed the goose away and took Ben and Lily to their mom. Their mom was worried. She hugged them and took them to the doctor. The doctor gave them some medicine and bandages. He said they would be okay, but they had to be careful.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They never went near the geese again. They were sorry for not listening to Ben. They said geese were mean and scary. They did not like them at all.
+Anna loves to ride her bike. She likes to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She likes to see the flowers and the trees and the animals. One day, she sees a big bird with long legs and a long neck. It is an ostrich. She has never seen an ostrich before.
+
+She stops her bike and says hello to the ostrich. The ostrich looks at her and makes a funny noise. Anna thinks the ostrich is friendly. She wants to ride the ostrich. She asks the ostrich if she can ride on its back. The ostrich nods and lowers its neck. Anna climbs on the ostrich and holds on tight.
+
+The ostrich runs very fast with Anna on its back. Anna is happy and excited. She feels like she is flying. The ostrich takes her to a field with lots of fruits and vegetables. The ostrich stops and eats some carrots and apples. Anna picks some berries and grapes. They are delicious. She shares them with the ostrich. The ostrich likes them too.
+
+They have a picnic and enjoy the sun. Anna thanks the ostrich for the ride and the food. The ostrich thanks Anna for the company and the berries. They hug and say goodbye. Anna gets back on her bike and waves to the ostrich. The ostrich waves back and runs away. Anna smiles and rides home. She has had a wonderful day. She hopes to see the ostrich again.
+Lila and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the park. Lila had a stick for a sword and Ben had a lid for a shield. They pretended to fight the big dragon that lived in the slide.
+
+The dragon was really a dog that belonged to a man who was sitting on a bench. The dog was friendly and wanted to play, but Lila and Ben did not know that. They thought the dog was scary and mean.
+
+The dog ran towards them, barking and wagging its tail. Lila and Ben panicked. They dropped their stick and lid and ran away. The dog chased them, thinking it was a game.
+
+Lila and Ben ran to their mom, who was reading a book on a blanket. They hugged her and told her about the big dragon that wanted to eat them. Mom looked at the dog and smiled. She said the dog was not a dragon, but a friend. She said the dog just wanted to say hello and play.
+
+Lila and Ben felt silly and brave. They went back to the dog and the man. They said sorry for running away and asked if they could pet the dog. The man said yes and told them the dog's name was Spot. Lila and Ben petted Spot and gave him their stick and lid. Spot was happy and licked their faces. Lila and Ben laughed and played with Spot. They forgot about the dragon and had fun.
+Lily was a graceful girl who liked to dance and sing. She always helped her mom and dad with the chores and was kind to her little brother. One day, she came home from school and saw a big mess in the kitchen. There were pots and pans and food everywhere. Her mom looked very tired and sad.
+
+"What happened, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"I tried to make a meal for us, but everything went wrong. The soup burned, the cake fell, the salad wilted. I'm sorry, Lily, we have nothing to eat tonight." Her mom said.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "It's okay, mom. I love you. We can eat something else. Maybe we can have some bread and cheese and fruit. Or we can order a pizza. Or we can go to grandma's house. She always has yummy food."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You are such a sweet and smart girl, Lily. Thank you for cheering me up. Let's see what we can do."
+
+They cleaned up the kitchen together and found some food in the fridge. They made a simple but tasty meal and ate it at the table. They laughed and talked and enjoyed each other's company. Lily's dad and brother came home and joined them. They were happy to see the food and the smiles.
+
+Lily felt proud and happy. She had helped her mom and made her family happy. She did not cry or complain. She was a graceful girl who liked to dance and sing. And she loved her mom and dad and brother very much.
+Tom likes to dream. He dreams of big things and small things. He dreams of flying and swimming. He dreams of his friends and his toys. He dreams of going to the moon and seeing the stars.
+
+One day, Tom finds a machine in his dad's garage. It is smooth and shiny. It has buttons and wheels and lights. Tom wonders what it does. He wants to try it. He climbs on the machine and pushes a button.
+
+The machine makes a loud noise. It starts to move. It goes up and up and up. Tom is scared. He wants to go back. He pushes another button. The machine stops. It is very high. Tom can see the moon and the stars. He can see his house and his dad. He can see his dreams.
+
+Tom is happy. He smiles. He likes the machine. He likes to dream. He pushes another button. The machine goes down and down and down. It lands in the garage. Tom gets off the machine. He hugs his dad. He tells him about his dream. His dad is proud. He tells him he loves him. He tells him the machine is a rocket. He tells him he can dream anything.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms. They had a big cloth to sit on and keep their clothes clean. Their mom told them to be obedient and not go too far.
+
+But Tom saw a big red ball near the fence. He wanted to play with it. He left the cloth and ran to the ball. He did not listen to Lily, who said, "Mom said stay here!"
+
+Tom picked up the ball and threw it in the air. He laughed and caught it. He did not see the dog that was behind the fence. The dog was angry and barked. It jumped over the fence and ran to Tom.
+
+Tom was scared and dropped the ball. He tried to run back to the cloth, but the dog was faster. It bit Tom's leg and made him cry. Lily heard Tom's yell and ran to help him. She grabbed a stick and hit the dog. The dog let go of Tom and ran away.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw Tom's leg bleeding and Lily holding the stick. She hugged them and said, "Are you okay, my darlings?" She took them inside and cleaned Tom's wound. She put a bandage on it and gave him a kiss. She said, "You were very brave, Lily. You saved your brother. And you, Tom, you were very naughty. You did not obey me and you went too far. You could have been hurt more. Next time, listen to me and stay on the cloth, okay?" Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's have some cookies and milk."
+Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to pretend with other things too. Anna finds a radio on the shelf. It is old and dusty. She wants to make it shiny.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a radio!" Anna says. "I can polish it and make it sing."
+
+Ben looks at the radio. He thinks it is too big and heavy. He does not think it can sing.
+
+"That is not a radio, Anna. That is a box. It does not fit in your hand. It does not have buttons. It does not have a speaker. It does not work." Ben says.
+
+Anna does not listen to Ben. She takes a cloth and rubs the radio. She tries to make it clean and bright. She hopes it will sing.
+
+"Polish, polish, polish. Sing, sing, sing." Anna says.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He thinks Anna is silly. He goes to find another toy.
+
+Anna keeps polishing the radio. She does not give up. She sees a small hole on the side of the radio. She thinks it is a button. She pushes it.
+
+Suddenly, the radio makes a loud noise. It sounds like music and voices. Anna is surprised and happy. She smiles and claps her hands.
+
+"See, Ben, I told you it is a radio! I polished it and made it sing!" Anna says.
+
+Ben hears the noise. He comes back to the living room. He sees the radio. He is surprised and curious. He wants to hear more.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you are right. It is a radio! How did you do that?" Ben says.
+
+Anna shows Ben the hole. She tells him it is a button. She pushes it again. The radio changes the noise. It sounds like different music and voices.
+
+"Look, Ben, we can change the noise. We can hear different things. It is fun!" Anna says.
+
+Ben nods. He agrees. He thinks Anna is clever. He takes another cloth and helps her polish the radio. They listen to the radio and enjoy the noise. They forget about their toys. They have a new game.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big watch on a wall. The watch has wide hands and many numbers.
+
+"Look, Sam, a watch!" Lily says. "It tells the time."
+
+"What time is it?" Sam asks.
+
+Lily looks at the watch. She does not know the numbers. She points at the hands. "It is half past two," she says.
+
+Sam looks at the watch. He does not know the numbers either. He points at the hands. "No, it is half past three," he says.
+
+They start to argue. They do not agree on the time.
+
+A man walks by. He sees the children and the watch. He smiles. He knows the numbers. He stops and says, "Hello, children. Do you like the watch?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Sam and Lily say.
+
+"But we do not know the time," Sam says.
+
+"Can you help us?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, I can help you," the man says. "The watch tells the time with the hands and the numbers. The big hand is for the minutes. The small hand is for the hours. The watch has twelve numbers. They go from one to twelve. They are like a circle. The watch also has sixty marks. They are like dots. They are for the seconds. The watch has a third hand. It is very thin. It moves fast. It is for the seconds. Do you see?"
+
+Sam and Lily look at the watch. They see the hands and the numbers and the marks. They nod.
+
+"Good," the man says. "Now, let me show you how to read the time. Look at the small hand. It is between two and three. That means it is two something. Look at the big hand. It is on six. That means it is thirty minutes. So, the time is two thirty. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Lily look at the watch. They see the small hand and the big hand. They nod.
+
+"Very good," the man says. "Now, let me ask you a question. What time will it be when the small hand is on three and the big hand is on twelve?"
+
+Sam and Lily think. They remember the numbers and the hands. They say together, "Three o'clock!"
+
+"Excellent," the man says. "You are very smart. You have learned how to read the watch. Well done!"
+
+Sam and Lily smile. They thank the man. They are happy. They have learned something new. They include the man in their game. They play with the watch. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they disagree. They disagree about who gets to play with the furry bear. The furry bear is soft and brown. It has a red stitch on its ear.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are playing in their room. Anna wants to play with the furry bear. She says, "The furry bear is mine. I saw it first." Ben wants to play with the furry bear too. He says, "No, the furry bear is mine. I like it more." They pull the furry bear from each other. They tug and tug. They do not share.
+
+Then, something bad happens. The furry bear rips. The red stitch comes off. The stuffing comes out. Anna and Ben stop pulling. They look at the furry bear. They feel sad. They say, "Oh no, we broke the furry bear. We are sorry, furry bear."
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees the furry bear. She says, "What happened to the furry bear? Why did you rip it?" Anna and Ben tell Mom what they did. They say, "We disagreed about the furry bear. We did not share. We were selfish." Mom says, "That is not nice. You should not disagree about your toys. You should share and take turns. Sharing is caring. Do you understand?" Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We will share and take turns from now on."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, let me fix the furry bear. I have a needle and thread. I can sew the red stitch back on. I can put the stuffing back in. The furry bear will be good as new." She takes the furry bear and goes to the kitchen. Anna and Ben hug each other. They say, "We love you, furry bear. We love you, Mom. We love you, twin." They wait for Mom to bring back the furry bear. They decide to play with another toy. They share and take turns. They do not disagree. They are happy.
+Lily liked to go to school with her big sister Mia. Mia was six and knew many things. She could read and write and count. Lily wanted to learn too, so Mia would teach her on the bus.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is A. A is for apple. Can you say A?" Mia said, pointing to a letter in her book.
+
+"A. A is for apple. I like apples!" Lily said, smiling.
+
+"Good, Lily! Now, this is B. B is for bus. Can you say B?" Mia said, showing her another letter.
+
+"B. B is for bus. We are on the bus!" Lily said, looking out the window.
+
+"Very good, Lily! You are smart. Now, this is C. C is for cat. Can you say C?" Mia said, moving to the next letter.
+
+"C. C is for cat. I have a cat. His name is Fluffy!" Lily said, proud of herself.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You are doing great. Now, this is D. D is for dog. Can you say D?" Mia said, continuing the lesson.
+
+"D. D is for dog. I like dogs. They are cute and friendly!" Lily said, excited.
+
+"Excellent, Lily! You are learning fast. Now, this is E. E is for elephant. Can you say E?" Mia said, reaching the last letter on the page.
+
+"E. E is for elephant. Elephants are big and gray. They have long noses!" Lily said, amazed.
+
+"That's right, Lily! You are amazing. You know all the letters from A to E. You are ready for school!" Mia said, hugging her.
+
+"Thank you, Mia! You are the best sister. You teach me many things. I love you!" Lily said, hugging her back.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not notice the other kids on the bus. Some of them were listening and smiling. They thought Lily was cute and smart. But some of them were laughing and teasing. They thought Lily was silly and babyish.
+
+"Hey, look at the little girl. She is learning the alphabet. How funny!" one boy said, pointing at Lily.
+
+"Yeah, she is so dumb. She does not know anything. She should go back to the nursery!" another girl said, making fun of Lily.
+
+They were loud and mean. Lily heard them and felt sad. She did not understand why they were laughing at her. She was trying to learn. She liked learning. She looked at Mia and saw that she was angry. Mia did not like it when people were mean to her sister.
+
+"Hey, stop it! You are being rude and mean. Lily is not dumb. She is smart and brave. She is learning new things every day. She is only three. How much did you know when you were three?" Mia said, standing up for Lily.
+
+The other kids were surprised. They did not expect Mia to talk back. They did not know what to say. They felt embarrassed. They knew Mia was right. They were being rude and mean. They were not learning anything. They were just being silly and babyish.
+
+They looked down and said nothing. They stopped laughing and teasing. They left Lily and Mia alone. Lily and Mia smiled at each other. They did not care what the other kids said. They were happy. They had each other. They liked learning. They liked going to school. They liked riding the bus.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big bush with red flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers.
+
+"Let's go to the bush!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They ran to the bush and bent down to smell the flowers. They smelled sweet and nice. They smiled at each other.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It looked angry and scary.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Tom shouted.
+
+They were afraid of the dog. They did not know what to do. They looked around and saw a small hole under the bush. They crawled into the hole and hid.
+
+The dog came to the bush and sniffed. It could not see Lily and Tom. It could not reach them. It barked and growled and scratched the bush. But it could not get them.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were safe in the hole. They felt warm and cozy. They waited for the dog to go away.
+
+After a while, the dog got tired and bored. It stopped barking and scratching. It turned around and ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom peeked out of the hole. They saw the dog was gone. They saw the sun was shining. They saw the flowers were still beautiful.
+
+They crawled out of the hole and stood up. They brushed off the dirt and leaves. They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"We did it!" Lily said.
+
+"We did!" Tom said.
+
+They gained courage and friendship. They felt happy and proud. They walked away from the bush and back to the park. They played some more and had fun. They had a peaceful and fun day.
+Lily liked to play with her toy car. She made it speed on the floor and said "vroom, vroom". She liked to pretend she was a racer and won every race.
+
+One day, she saw a parrot in the pet shop. It was colorful and had a big beak. It said "hello, hello" and Lily smiled. She asked her mom if she could have the parrot. Her mom said "no, Lily, we can't have a parrot. It is too noisy and messy. And you have your toy car to play with."
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted the parrot. She thought it was friendly and fun. She decided to sneak into the pet shop and take the parrot. She waited until the shopkeeper was busy and ran inside. She grabbed the parrot's cage and ran out.
+
+But the parrot was not happy. It squawked and bit Lily's finger. It said "help, help, thief, thief". The shopkeeper heard the noise and saw Lily. He chased her and shouted "stop, stop, give me back my parrot".
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the cage and the parrot flew away. She cried and said "sorry, sorry, I just wanted a friend". The shopkeeper was angry but also sorry. He said "Lily, you can't take things that are not yours. That is wrong. The parrot is not a toy. It is a living thing that needs care and love. Why don't you come inside and I'll show you some other animals that are friendly and easy to keep?"
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She followed the shopkeeper and saw some rabbits, hamsters, and fish. She liked them and asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said "maybe, Lily, if you promise to be good and take care of it". Lily promised and hugged her mom. She said "thank you, mom, and thank you, shopkeeper. I'm sorry for being bad. I learned my lesson. I don't need a parrot. I have my toy car and a new friend."
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with their wagon. They put toys and books in the wagon. They pull the wagon around the yard.
+
+One day, they see a big scale. It is for weighing things. Tim and Mia are curious. They want to weigh their wagon.
+
+"Let's put the wagon on the scale," Tim says.
+
+"OK," Mia says. "But how do we read the numbers?"
+
+Tim shrugs. He does not know. He only knows some numbers. He can count to ten.
+
+They lift the wagon and put it on the scale. The scale makes a beep sound. It shows some numbers.
+
+"Look, Mia," Tim says. "The wagon weighs twenty."
+
+"Twenty what?" Mia asks.
+
+Tim does not know. He thinks for a moment.
+
+"Twenty smalls," he says.
+
+Mia nods. She thinks that makes sense.
+
+"Wow, our wagon is twenty smalls," she says. "That is a lot of smalls."
+
+They are proud of their wagon. They smile and hug each other. They take the wagon off the scale. They pull the wagon around the yard again. They have fun.
+Anna loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair, dress her up and talk to her.
+
+One day, Anna found a magic wand in her toy box. It was shiny and had a star on the end. Anna wondered what it could do. She waved it at Lily and said, "Lily, become alive!" To her surprise, Lily blinked and moved. She looked at Anna and said, "Hello, Anna. Thank you for making me alive."
+
+Anna was very happy. She hugged Lily and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're my best friend. Let's play together." They played tea party, hide and seek and dress up. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon, Anna forgot about her other dolls. She only played with Lily and ignored the rest. The other dolls felt sad and lonely. They wished Anna would play with them too.
+
+One day, Lily noticed the other dolls. She said to Anna, "Anna, why don't you play with your other dolls? They are your friends too. They miss you." Anna said, "But I only want to play with you, Lily. You're special. You're alive." Lily said, "But Anna, I'm alive because of your magic wand. You can make any doll alive with it. Why don't you share your magic with them? It would make them happy and you would have more friends to play with."
+
+Anna thought about it. She realized that Lily was right. She had been selfish and unkind to her other dolls. She felt sorry and decided to be helpful. She took her magic wand and waved it at her other dolls. She said, "Dolls, become alive!" One by one, the dolls blinked and moved. They looked at Anna and said, "Hello, Anna. Thank you for making us alive."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, dolls. I'm sorry for ignoring you. You're all my friends. Let's play together." The dolls smiled and said, "Yes, let's play together." They all hugged Anna and Lily and thanked them. They played together and had a lot of fun.
+
+Anna learned a lesson. She learned that sharing is caring and that being helpful makes everyone happy. She was glad that she had a magic wand and a lot of friends. She was a good girl.
+Lila was playing in the yard with her ball. She liked to kick it and catch it and roll it on the grass. She saw something shiny under the big tree. She ran to see what it was. It was a robot!
+
+The robot was small and silver. It had two eyes, a mouth, and two arms and legs. It was not moving. Lila touched it gently. It made a beep sound. Lila smiled. She said, "Hello, robot. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The robot opened its eyes. It said, "Hello, Lila. I am Rolo. I want to play with you." It stood up and followed Lila. They played with the ball and the robot was very lively. It could kick and catch and roll the ball very well. Lila was happy. She had a new friend.
+
+But then, Lila's brother Ben came out of the house. He saw Lila and the robot. He was angry. He said, "Hey, that's my robot! I made it for my science project. Give it back to me!"
+
+Lila said, "No, it's my robot! I found it under the tree. It likes me. It wants to play with me!"
+
+Ben said, "No, it's mine! I programmed it to say that. It's just a machine. It doesn't like anyone. It's not a real friend!"
+
+Lila and Ben started to argue. They pulled the robot from each other. The robot was scared. It said, "Stop, stop! You are hurting me! I like both of you. Please don't fight!"
+
+Lila and Ben stopped. They looked at the robot. They saw that it was sad. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, robot. Sorry, Rolo. We didn't mean to hurt you. We were selfish. You are a real friend."
+
+The robot smiled. It said, "Thank you, Lila. Thank you, Ben. You are both my friends. Can we play together?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They hugged the robot. They said, "Yes, we can. We can share you. You are a very lively and fun robot. We are lucky to have you."
+
+They played with the robot and the ball. They laughed and had a good time. They learned to be kind and share. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up. Ben follows her. He wants to go first too.
+
+"Me first!" Lily says. She sits on the slide and holds on. "No, me first!" Ben says. He tries to pull Lily off the slide. Lily does not let go. They both pull and pull.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the slide and sees Lily and Ben. They are both dirty and angry. "What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are not sharing. You are hurting each other."
+
+Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel bad. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay. You can both go on the slide. But you have to take turns and be nice."
+
+Mom takes out her phone and says, "Let me take a picture of you on the slide. Smile!" Lily and Ben smile and go on the slide. They have fun and share. Mom is happy and takes a picture. She looks at her phone and says, "Oh no, my phone is dirty too. You two made it dirty with your hands. I need to clean it." Lily and Ben laugh and say, "Sorry, Mom. We love you." Mom laughs too and says, "I love you too."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to try it.
+
+"Let's go to the slide!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There are many other kids on the slide. They have to wait.
+
+"Too many kids!" Anna says.
+
+"Let's make a plan!" Ben says.
+
+They think hard. They see a gap in the line. They see a clear way to the slide.
+
+"Let's escape!" Ben says.
+
+They hold hands. They run fast. They dodge the other kids. They reach the slide.
+
+"We did it!" Anna says.
+
+They slide down. They laugh. They are happy.
+
+They are a good team.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight. Today they fight over a toy car. Lily wants the car. Tom wants the car too. They pull and push and yell.
+
+"Give me the car!" Lily says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "It is time for bed. You can share the car tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Tom are not happy. They do not want to go to bed. They want to play with the car. They are rude to Mom. They say no and stomp their feet.
+
+Mom is angry. She takes the car away. She says, "You are being very rude. You need to say sorry and go to bed. Now!"
+
+Lily and Tom feel bad. They know they are rude. They say sorry to Mom. They hug her and say good night. They walk to their bed. They share a blanket and a pillow. They say sorry to each other. They say, "I love you, twin."
+
+They close their eyes and sleep. They dream of the car. They dream of playing together. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with balls. Every week, they go to the park with their moms and throw balls to each other.
+
+One week, they see a big sign in the park. It says: "Ball Throwing Contest. Next Saturday. Prizes for the best throwers." Lily and Ben want to join the contest. They ask their moms if they can.
+
+"Sure, you can join the contest," their moms say. "But you have to practice a lot. Throwing balls is not easy. You have to be strong and careful and aim well."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They practice every day. They throw balls to each other, to the trees, to the fence, to the trash can. They try to throw far and high and straight. They have fun and work hard.
+
+On Saturday, they go to the park with their moms. They see many other kids with balls. They are nervous and excited. They wait for their turn. When they hear their names, they go to the line. They each get one ball. They throw it as hard as they can.
+
+Lily throws her ball very far. It flies over the fence and lands on the grass. The crowd claps and cheers. Ben throws his ball very high. It goes up in the sky and comes down near the trash can. The crowd claps and cheers.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They hug each other. They are happy. They did a good job. They are successful throwers. They get medals and stickers and candy. They thank their moms. They share their prizes with each other. They are good friends. They love to play with balls.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big cave in the hill. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Can we go in?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is dark and maybe scary," Ben says.
+
+They hold hands and walk into the cave. They see rocks and bats and spiders. They hear strange noises.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Lily says.
+
+"Shh, do you hear that?" Ben says.
+
+They hear a loud snore. They see a big bear sleeping in the corner. The bear has a funny hat on his head.
+
+"Look, the bear has a hat!" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe he is cold," Ben says.
+
+They giggle and try not to wake the bear. They find a stick and draw pictures on the wall. They have fun in the cave.
+
+But then, the bear wakes up. He sees Lily and Ben. He is angry and hungry. He roars and runs towards them.
+
+"Run, run!" Lily and Ben shout.
+
+They drop the stick and run out of the cave. They are scared and fast. They reach the hill and look back. The bear is still in the cave. He is too big to fit through the hole.
+
+"Phew, that was close!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, but it was also fun!" Ben says.
+
+They hug and laugh. They are happy to be safe. They decide to find another place to play. They do not want to see the bear again.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big doll with a pretty dress and long hair in the trash. They took it home and decided to share it.
+
+But soon, they started to fight over the doll. Tom wanted to comb her hair and Sam wanted to change her dress. They pulled and pushed the doll until her head came off. They both felt sad and scared.
+
+They tried to put her head back on, but it was broken. They could not fix it. They saw that the doll had a hole in her chest and bugs were coming out. The doll was rotting. They felt sick and sorry.
+
+They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs. They also learned that they should not fight with their friends. They threw the doll away and said sorry to each other. They hugged and played with their own toys. They were happy again.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They have a big sack. They put toys and snacks in the sack. They carry the sack to the park.
+
+At the park, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They leave the sack under a tree. They run to the slide. They take turns to slide down. They have fun.
+
+But a dog sees the sack. The dog is hungry. The dog smells the snacks. The dog runs to the sack. The dog bites the sack. The dog rips the sack. The toys and snacks fall out. The dog eats some snacks. The dog plays with some toys. The dog makes the sack and the toys and the snacks dirty.
+
+Ben and Sam finish sliding. They go back to the tree. They see the dog and the mess. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Hey, dog, stop!" Ben shouts. "That is our sack. Those are our toys and snacks. You are bad. You are dirty. Go away!"
+
+The dog barks. The dog does not listen. The dog does not care. The dog keeps playing.
+
+Ben and Sam do not know what to do. They want their sack and their toys and their snacks back. They look for help. They see a man. The man is a park ranger. He wears a hat and a badge. He has a whistle.
+
+"Help, help!" Sam cries. "That dog took our sack. That dog made our toys and snacks dirty. That dog is bad. Can you help us?"
+
+The park ranger hears Sam. He sees the dog and the mess. He blows his whistle. The dog hears the whistle. The dog stops playing. The dog looks at the park ranger. The park ranger walks to the dog. He talks to the dog. He is kind but firm.
+
+"Come here, boy," the park ranger says. "You can't do that. You can't take other people's things. You can't make them dirty. You have to say sorry. You have to give them back."
+
+The dog knows the park ranger. The dog knows he is in trouble. The dog feels sorry. The dog wags his tail. He drops the toys and the snacks. He walks to the park ranger. He licks his hand.
+
+The park ranger pets the dog. He smiles. He picks up the sack. He puts the toys and the snacks in the sack. He gives the sack to Ben and Sam. He says sorry for the dog.
+
+"Here you go, boys," the park ranger says. "I'm sorry about the dog. He is a good dog, but he is hungry and curious. He didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to play. Can you forgive him?"
+
+Ben and Sam look at the dog. The dog looks at them. The dog wags his tail. He looks sorry. He looks cute.
+
+Ben and Sam feel better. They are not sad and angry anymore. They are kind and forgiving. They smile. They nod.
+
+"Yes, we forgive him," Ben says. "He is a good dog. He just made a mistake. We all make mistakes. We can share our toys and snacks with him. We can play with him."
+
+The park ranger is happy. He is proud of Ben and Sam. He is glad they are kind and forgiving. He thanks them. He invites them to join him and the dog. He says they can have a picnic and play together.
+
+Ben and Sam are happy. They agree. They join the park ranger and the dog. They have a picnic and play together. They have fun. They make friends. They have a good day.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they went to the store with Lily's mom. The store had many toys and books and clothes. Lily and Sam admired the toys. They wanted to have them.
+
+"Look, Sam, a doll!" Lily said. "She has a pretty dress and long hair. I wish I had her."
+
+"Look, Lily, a car!" Sam said. "It has big wheels and a loud horn. I wish I had it."
+
+Lily's mom said they could not have the toys. They were too expensive. Lily and Sam were sad. They followed Lily's mom to the cashier.
+
+At the cashier, they saw a boy. He had a big bag of toys. He smiled and said, "I am lucky. My dad bought me all these toys. He loves me very much."
+
+Lily and Sam felt angry and jealous. They did not have any toys. They did not feel loved. They glared at the boy.
+
+The boy saw them and laughed. He said, "You are not lucky. You are poor and ugly. You have no toys. You have no love."
+
+Lily and Sam felt hurt and ashamed. They cried. They ran out of the store. They did not want to play anymore. They did not want to be friends. They hated the boy. They hated the store. They hated the toys. They hated themselves. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with balls and pins. They try to knock down the pins with the balls. Lily is very good at the game. She knocks down all the pins. Ben is not so good. He misses some pins.
+
+Lily is happy. She gets a trophy. The trophy is shiny and big. It has a star on it. Lily holds the trophy in her hands. She shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a trophy! I won the game!" Lily says.
+
+Ben is sad. He does not have a trophy. He wants to win the game too. He looks at Lily's trophy. It is interesting. He wants to hold it.
+
+"Can I hold your trophy, Lily? Please?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily thinks. She likes her trophy. She does not want to share it. But she also likes Ben. He is her friend. She does not want to make him sad.
+
+"Okay, Ben, you can hold my trophy. But be careful. Do not drop it." Lily says.
+
+She gives the trophy to Ben. Ben holds the trophy in his hands. He feels the star. He smiles.

+
+They hug. They are still friends. They go to play another game.
+Lily and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish, crabs and shells.
+
+One day, they saw something shiny and wiggly in the water. It was a jellyfish. Lily and Ben wanted to touch it, but their mom and dad said no.
+
+"Jellyfish can hurt you," mom said. "They have stings that can make you feel bad. You have to stay away from them."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to see the jellyfish up close. They asked their mom and dad if they could work with them to help the jellyfish.
+
+"How can we help the jellyfish?" dad asked.
+
+"Maybe we can give them some food," Lily said.
+
+"Or some water," Ben said.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They said they had a better idea. They took Lily and Ben to a place where there were many jellyfish in big tanks. They said it was a place where people worked to take care of the jellyfish and learn more about them.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They got to see the jellyfish in different colors and shapes. They learned their names and how they lived. They even got to feed them some tiny fish.
+
+"Thank you for letting us work with you," Lily and Ben said to the people who worked there.
+
+"You're welcome," the people said. "We're grateful that you care about the jellyfish. They are very special and beautiful animals."
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is white and graceful. It has a red ribbon on its leg.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Lila says.
+
+"Wow, it is pretty!" Tom says.
+
+They run after the bird. They want to see it up close. But the bird flies away. It is too fast for them.
+
+"Come back, bird!" Lila shouts.
+
+"Please, bird!" Tom begs.
+
+The bird hears them. It stops in a tree. It looks at them with its black eyes. It makes a soft sound.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lila says.
+
+"Can we be your friends?" Tom says.
+
+The bird nods. It flies down to them. It lets them touch its feathers. It is soft and warm.
+
+"What is your name, bird?" Lila asks.
+
+The bird makes another sound. It sounds like "Cora".
+
+"Cora, that is a nice name!" Tom says.
+
+The bird smiles. It shows them its ribbon. It has a message on it. It is a letter. It is from someone far away.
+
+"Who gave you this, Cora?" Lila asks.
+
+The bird makes a sad sound. It points to the sky. It is from its family. They live in another land. They miss Cora. They want her to come back.
+
+"Oh, Cora, we are sorry!" Tom says.
+
+"You must miss them too!" Lila says.
+
+The bird nods. It looks at them with its black eyes. It makes a soft sound.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Tom. You are kind. You are my friends. But I have to go. I have to travel. I have to see my family. I have to give them a message. I have to tell them I love them."
+
+Lila and Tom understand. They are sad, but they are happy for Cora. They hug the bird. They say goodbye.
+
+"Goodbye, Cora!" Lila says.
+
+"Have a good trip, Cora!" Tom says.
+
+The bird smiles. It flies away. It is white and graceful. It has a red ribbon on its leg. It has a message in its heart.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill with some trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+They held hands and walked up the hill. They heard a loud roar. They stopped and looked around. They saw a big lion behind a bush. The lion had yellow fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared. They trembled and cried. They wanted to go back to the park. But the lion was blocking their way. They did not know what to do.
+
+They saw a clear stream near the hill. They had an idea. They ran to the stream and picked up some stones. They threw the stones at the lion. The lion did not like that. It roared and shook its head. It ran away from the stream.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy and brave. They ran down the hill and back to the park. They hugged each other and smiled. They told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad were proud of them. They said they were very smart and clever. They gave them a big hug and a kiss. They said they loved them very much.
+Lily likes to lift her toys and put them in a box. She has a lot of toys: a ball, a doll, a car, a bear, and more. She plays with them every day and makes them talk to each other.
+
+One day, Lily hears a loud noise outside. She runs to the window and looks out. She sees a big truck with a crane. The crane can lift things very high. Lily watches as the crane lifts a big box and puts it on the truck.
+
+Lily thinks the crane is very cool. She wants to lift things like the crane. She goes back to her toys and picks up her ball. She tries to lift it high, but it is too heavy. She drops it and it bounces on the floor.
+
+Lily tries again with her doll. She lifts it high, but it is too floppy. She drops it and it lands on the couch. Lily tries again with her car. She lifts it high, but it is too slippery. She drops it and it rolls under the table.
+
+Lily is sad. She can't lift things like the crane. She sits on the floor and hugs her bear. She looks at the window and sees the crane lift another box. She wishes she could lift things like that.
+
+Then she has an idea. She gets up and runs to the window. She puts her bear on the windowsill and lifts it up. She pretends the bear is a box and the window is a crane. She makes a loud noise like the truck. She lifts the bear high and puts it back on the windowsill. She smiles and claps. She can lift things like the crane! She is happy. She lifts her bear again and again and plays with the window crane.
+Lily liked to draw on pages. She had many pages with flowers, animals, and stars. She was proud of her pages and showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, she saw her brother Max reading a big book. The book had many pages with words and pictures. Max said the book was about dinosaurs and how they grew and lived.
+
+Lily wanted to read the book too. She was envious of Max and his book. She asked Max to share the book with her, but Max said no. He said the book was too hard for her and she was too little.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She thought Max was mean and selfish. She decided to take the book when Max was not looking. She ran to her room with the book and opened it.
+
+But the book was not what she expected. The words were too big and the pictures were too scary. She did not understand anything and she felt afraid. She wished she had her pages with flowers, animals, and stars.
+
+She heard Max knocking on her door. He was looking for his book and he was angry too. He said Lily was naughty and rude. He wanted his book back.
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she made a mistake and she hurt Max. She gave the book back to Max and said she was sorry. She asked Max to forgive her and to teach her about dinosaurs.
+
+Max calmed down and smiled. He said he was sorry too and he hugged Lily. He said he loved her and he would help her learn. He said they could read the book together and share their pages.
+
+Lily was happy and grateful. She said she loved him too and she thanked him. She said they could draw dinosaurs on their pages and make their own book.
+
+They went to the living room and sat on the couch. They opened the book and the pages. They read and drew and talked and laughed. They were not envious or angry anymore. They were happy and curious and kind.
+Lily and Sam were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys and their snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. She was impatient. She wanted to see the trees, the lake and the tent.
+
+"Soon, honey, soon," Mom said. "Look, there is a sign that says 'camp'."
+
+Lily and Sam looked out the window. They saw a big sign with letters and a picture of a tent. They clapped their hands. They were almost there.
+
+They arrived at the camp. They got out of the car and ran to the tent. Mom and Dad helped them set it up. They put their bags and their toys inside. They made their beds with blankets and pillows.
+
+"Can we go to the lake now?" Sam asked. He was impatient. He wanted to swim, to fish and to play.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful," Dad said. "And stay close to us."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They put on their swimsuits and their hats. They took their towels and their buckets. They followed Mom and Dad to the lake. They saw the water, the ducks and the boats. They clapped their hands. They were very happy.
+Tom and Sue were very hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. But their mom was busy. She had to work on her laptop.
+
+"Mom, can we have some food?" Tom asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this report. Maybe later," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue were sad. They looked around the kitchen. They saw a big bag of potatoes. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's make some potato chips!" Sue said.
+
+"Yeah, that sounds fun!" Tom said.
+
+They took some potatoes and a knife. They cut the potatoes into thin slices. They put them on a plate. They sprinkled some salt on them. They put them in the microwave.
+
+"Beep, beep, beep!" The microwave made a noise. The potato chips were ready.
+
+Tom and Sue took out the plate. They smelled the potato chips. They looked crispy and tasty.
+
+"Yay, let's eat!" Tom said.
+
+They sat on the floor. They shared the potato chips. They ate them with their fingers. They made crunching sounds.
+
+"Mmm, these are good!" Sue said.
+
+"They are better than ordinary potato chips!" Tom said.
+
+They ate and ate until the plate was empty. They were happy and full.
+
+Mom heard them laughing. She looked at them. She saw the potato chips. She smiled.
+
+"You made your own snack! That's very clever!" Mom said.
+
+She closed her laptop. She sat with them. She hugged them.
+
+"I'm sorry I was busy. But I'm proud of you. You are very creative and helpful," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue smiled. They hugged her back.
+
+"We love you, Mom. And we love potato chips!" They said.
+Lily loved to look at things with her microscope. She had a big book with pictures of tiny bugs and plants that she could find in the garden. She liked to put them on a slide and see how they moved and changed under the lens.
+
+One day, she was looking at a spider when her brother Tom came into the room. He was angry because Lily had taken his toy car. He grabbed the microscope and tried to pull it away from her.
+
+"Give it back!" Lily shouted. "It's mine!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said. "You took my car!"
+
+They both pulled hard on the microscope, but it was too heavy for them. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor with a harsh noise. The lens broke and the spider ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom stared at the broken microscope. They felt sad and sorry. They knew they had done a bad thing.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry."
+
+They hugged and said, "I love you."
+
+They decided to share their toys and play nicely. They hoped their mom would not be too mad at them. They picked up the pieces of the microscope and went to find her.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to explore the creek that ran behind their house. They saw many things in the creek, like fish, frogs, and rocks.
+
+One day, they found a big stick that looked like a boat. They wanted to sail it in the creek, but it was too heavy to carry. They needed something to help them move it.
+
+"Look, there is a rope on the fence," Tom said. "We can attach it to the stick and pull it to the creek."
+
+"That is a good idea," Lily said. "You are very helpful, Tom."
+
+They worked together to tie the rope to the stick. Then they dragged it to the creek. It was hard work, but they were happy. They put the stick in the water and watched it float.
+
+"Wow, it is a great boat," Lily said. "We can pretend we are pirates and go on adventures."
+
+"Arrr, matey," Tom said. "Let's sail to the treasure island."
+
+They had fun playing with their boat in the creek. They were glad they had each other and their helpful rope.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to look at them and make noises like them.
+
+Then they came to a big tank of water. Inside the water, there were many fish and other things. Tom and Lily saw something with eight arms and a round head. It was an octopus.
+
+"Look, Lily, an octopus!" Tom said. "It has so many arms. What does it do with them?"
+
+Lily looked at the octopus. She saw it change colors and move its arms. It looked like it was playing with a ball.
+
+"I think it is happy, Tom," Lily said. "Maybe it likes the ball. Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They waved their arms at the octopus. The octopus waved back. It looked happy too.
+
+Mom came and saw them. She took a picture of them and the octopus.
+
+"What a nice octopus," Mom said. "Do you want to say bye to it?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said bye to the octopus. They thanked it for playing with them. The octopus made a funny noise. It sounded like a laugh.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed too. They were happy. They had a fun day at the zoo.
+Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big statue of a lion there. They wanted to climb on it and pretend to be lions too.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Jill said. "We can roar and scare the birds!"
+
+"OK, Jill!" Tom said. "But be careful, the statue is hard and high!"
+
+They ran to the statue and started to climb. Jill was faster and reached the lion's head. She sat on it and roared. Tom was still on the lion's back. He tried to catch up with Jill.
+
+But then something bad happened. Jill lost her balance and fell off the statue. She hit the ground and hurt her arm. She cried very loud.
+
+"Jill, Jill, are you OK?" Tom shouted. He slid down the statue and ran to Jill. He hugged her and tried to make her feel better.
+
+A lady who worked in the park heard Jill's cry. She came to see what happened. She saw Jill and Tom and the statue.
+
+"Oh, you poor thing!" she said to Jill. "What happened? Did you fall from the statue?"
+
+Jill nodded and sobbed. She showed her arm. It was red and swollen.
+
+The lady took out a bandage and wrapped it around Jill's arm. She said it would help with the pain.
+
+"Thank you, lady," Jill said. "You are very nice."
+
+"You're welcome, Jill," the lady said. "But you shouldn't climb on the statue. It's dangerous and it can break. The statue is very old and precious. It's not a toy."
+
+Jill and Tom felt sorry. They didn't know the statue was old and precious. They thought it was just fun.
+
+"We're sorry, lady," they said. "We won't climb on the statue again. We'll play with something else."
+
+The lady smiled and said it was OK. She told them to be careful and have fun. She gave them each a sticker of a lion. Jill and Tom thanked her and said goodbye.
+
+They walked away from the statue. They looked for another game to play. They saw a slide and a swing and a sandbox. They decided to play in the sandbox. They made a castle and a moat and a bridge. They had fun and they didn't spoil anything.
+Sam and Mia are twins who like to play outside. One day, they see a big palm tree in their yard. They want to climb it and see what is on top.
+
+"Let's go, Sam!" Mia says. "Maybe we can see the sky and the birds!"
+
+"OK, Mia!" Sam says. "But be careful. The palm tree is very tall and the leaves are sharp."
+
+They run to the palm tree and start to climb. They hold on to the trunk and the branches. They go higher and higher. They feel happy and excited.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom, who is looking for them.
+
+"Sam! Mia! Where are you?" she shouts. "It is time for lunch!"
+
+Sam and Mia look down and see their mom. She is angry and worried. She does not see them on the palm tree.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sam says. "We are in trouble. We should go down."
+
+"Yes, we should," Mia says. "But how? We are too high and the palm tree is slippery."
+
+They try to go down, but they are scared. They slip and scratch themselves. They cry and call for help.
+
+Their mom hears them and sees them on the palm tree. She runs to them and helps them down. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"Are you OK, Sam and Mia?" she asks. "Why did you climb the palm tree? You could have fallen and hurt yourselves. You should not do that. You should listen to me and stay safe."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Sam and Mia say. "We wanted to see the sky and the birds. We did not think it was dangerous. We will not do it again."
+
+They go inside and have lunch. They are hungry and tired. They tell their mom what they saw on the palm tree. They saw the sky and the birds, but they also saw the cars and the people and the noise.
+
+They realize that the palm tree was not so peaceful. They prefer their home and their mom. They learn to be careful and obedient. They hug their mom and say thank you. They love their mom and she loves them.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. They ran to the pile and jumped in it, laughing and throwing leaves in the air. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, a man came and shouted at them. He was the gardener who had worked hard to rake the leaves. He was angry that they had scattered the leaves everywhere. He told them to go away and not come back.
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not mean to make the man mad. They just wanted to play. They said sorry to the man and ran away.
+
+On their way home, they saw a big house with a high fence. They knew that a wealthy family lived there. They had a lot of things, like cars and toys and clothes. Lily and Tom wondered what it was like to live there.
+
+They saw a gap in the fence and peeked inside. They saw a boy and a girl who looked about their age. They were sitting on a swing, but they did not look happy. They looked bored and sad. They did not talk to each other or smile.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for them. They did not have any friends to play with. They did not have any fun. They had a lot of things, but they did not have joy.
+
+Lily and Tom decided to do something nice for them. They ran back to the park and gathered some leaves. They made them into a big pile and carried it to the gap in the fence. They threw the leaves over the fence and shouted, "Surprise!"
+
+The boy and the girl were surprised. They saw the leaves and the spark in Lily and Tom's eyes. They felt curious and excited. They got off the swing and ran to the leaves. They jumped in them, laughing and throwing leaves in the air. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and waved at them. They said, "Hi, we are Lily and Tom. Do you want to be our friends?"
+
+The boy and the girl smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. We are Sam and Anna. Thank you for the leaves. They are fun."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They had made new friends. They learned that having things is not as important as having joy. They learned that sharing joy is the best way to make friends. They learned that playing in the leaves is fun.
+Bella was a clumsy bear. She often tripped over rocks and branches, and spilled her honey and milk. Her friends sometimes laughed at her, but she did not mind. She liked to have fun and try new things.
+
+One day, she saw a big bush full of red berries. She wanted to pick some and make a pie for her friends. She ran towards the bush, but did not see a hole in the ground. She fell into the hole and got stuck. She tried to wiggle and push, but she could not get out. She started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" she shouted. "Is anyone there?"
+
+She heard a voice from above. It was Sam, the squirrel. He was good at climbing and jumping. He looked down at Bella and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Bella," he said. "What are you doing in there?"
+
+"I wanted to pick some berries, but I fell into this hole," Bella said. "Can you help me, please?"
+
+"Of course, I can help you," Sam said. "But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What is it?" Bella asked.
+
+"You have to share some of your berry pie with me," Sam said.
+
+"Okay, okay, I promise," Bella said. "Now, please, help me!"
+
+Sam nodded and ran to find a rope. He tied one end to a tree and threw the other end to Bella. He told her to hold on tight and pull herself up. Bella did as he said and managed to get out of the hole. She was dirty and scratched, but happy.
+
+"Thank you, Sam, you are very kind," she said.
+
+"You are welcome, Bella, you are very brave," he said.
+
+They hugged and went to pick some berries together. They made a delicious pie and shared it with their friends. Everyone enjoyed it and praised Bella for her baking skills. Bella felt proud and grateful. She learned that being clumsy was not so bad, as long as she had good friends to help her.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see a huge pole with a slide on it. They want to go on the slide, but they are not sure if they are big enough.
+
+They find a stick on the ground. They use the stick to measure how tall they are. Tom is taller than Mia, but he is still not as tall as the pole. Mia is much shorter than the pole.
+
+They try to climb the pole, but it is too hard. They slip and fall. They are sad. They want to go on the slide, but they can't reach it.
+
+Then they see a ladder next to the pole. The ladder has steps that they can use to go up. They are happy. They run to the ladder and climb it. They reach the top of the pole. They see the slide. It is very long and fun.
+
+They take turns to go on the slide. They slide down fast and laugh. They are not sad anymore. They are glad. They like the huge pole with the slide on it. They play until it is time to go home.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the farm with their class. The farmer gave them a tour of the farm and showed them the animals and the plants. Lily and Ben were very happy to see the cows, the pigs, the chickens, the corn and the apples.
+
+The farmer said, "You can pick one apple each from the tree, but you have to work for it. You have to climb the ladder and reach for the apple. Be careful and don't fall."
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to pick the biggest and reddest apples they could find. They climbed the ladder and looked for the best apples. Lily saw a big apple on a high branch and stretched her arm to get it. Ben saw another big apple on a lower branch and grabbed it.
+
+"Look, I got the biggest apple!" Lily said, holding her apple proudly.
+
+"Mine is bigger and redder!" Ben said, showing his apple.
+
+They started to argue about whose apple was better. They did not say thank you to the farmer or share their apples with their friends. They just wanted to eat their apples and show off.
+
+They took a big bite of their apples and made a sour face. Their apples were not sweet and juicy, but sour and hard. They spit out their apples and felt sick.
+
+"Yuck, these apples are bad!" Lily said, throwing her apple away.
+
+"Me too, I don't like them!" Ben said, doing the same.
+
+The farmer saw them and shook his head. He said, "You picked the wrong apples. Those are not ripe yet. They are sour and hard. You should have picked the smaller and yellower apples. They are sweet and soft. You were too greedy and did not pay attention to what I told you. You have to work hard and be patient to get the best fruits. And you have to be thankful and share with others. That is the right way to enjoy the farm."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a mistake and learned a lesson. They said sorry to the farmer and their friends. They asked for another chance to pick the right apples. They worked hard and were patient. They picked the smaller and yellower apples. They thanked the farmer and shared their apples with their friends. They tasted their apples and smiled. Their apples were sweet and soft. They enjoyed the farm and had fun.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in their room. They have a big rug with many colors. They pretend it is a deep sea with fish and sharks.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. Rex is big and strong. He likes to chase and bite things. He runs into their room and sees the rug. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps on it and starts to tear it with his teeth.
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They love their rug. They do not want Rex to ruin it. They shout at Rex. "Stop, Rex! Bad dog! Leave our rug alone!"
+
+But Rex does not listen. He growls and shakes his head. He thinks they are playing with him. He wants to have fun.
+
+Tom and Sue do not know what to do. They look around. They see their dad's coat on a chair. It is thick and warm. They have an idea. They grab the coat and run to the rug. They throw the coat over Rex's head. Rex is confused. He cannot see or smell anything. He stops biting the rug. He tries to get the coat off.
+
+Tom and Sue use this chance. They grab the rug and pull it away from Rex. They roll it up and hide it under their bed. They hope Rex will not find it again.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They have protected their rug. They have saved their deep sea. They are brave twins.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was an ancient train set that their grandpa gave them. The train set had a big engine, four cars, and a lot of tracks. Lila and Ben liked to make the train go around the tracks and make noises.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben had a fight. Lila wanted to play with the engine, but Ben wanted it too. They both pulled on the engine and shouted.
+
+"Give me the engine! It's mine!" Lila said.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Ben said.
+
+They pulled so hard that they broke the engine in two. They both gasped and dropped the pieces. The engine was ruined.
+
+They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They knew their mom would be angry and sad. They knew the engine was very old and had a high price. They knew their grandpa loved the train set and gave it to them with love.

+They looked at each other and felt sorry. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Lila. I was selfish. You can play with the engine." Ben said.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. I was greedy. You can play with the engine." Lila said.
+
+They picked up the pieces and ran to their mom. They told her what happened and showed her the broken engine. They said they were sorry and asked for forgiveness.
+
+Their mom was upset, but she was also proud. She saw that they learned their lesson and were honest. She hugged them and said she loved them. She said she would try to fix the engine or find a new one. She said they should always share and be kind to each other.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and smiled. They thanked their mom and went back to their toys. They decided to play with the other cars and the tracks. They made the train go around and around and made noises. They had fun and were happy. They learned that toys are not as important as family and friends. They learned that it is better to be together than to separate.
+Tom and Sue are playing in the park. They see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. They want to touch it.
+
+"Look, a balloon!" Tom says. "Let's reach it!"
+
+They run to the balloon. But it is too high. They jump and stretch their arms. But they cannot reach it.
+
+"Maybe we need a ladder," Sue says.
+
+They look around. They see a truck. It has a ladder on it. The truck is near the balloon.
+
+"Let's use the truck!" Tom says. "Then we can reach the balloon!"
+
+They run to the truck. But the truck is not empty. There is a man in it. He is wearing a mask and a hat. He has a hose in his hand. He is putting gas in the balloon.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the man says. "This is my balloon. Go away!"
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They do not know the man. They do not know why he has a mask and a hat. They do not know why he is putting gas in the balloon.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Sue says. "We just want to touch the balloon. It is so pretty."
+
+The man laughs. He has a funny laugh. It sounds like a duck.
+
+"Touch the balloon?" he says. "You can't touch the balloon. It is not for touching. It is for flying. I am going to fly in the balloon. Do you want to fly with me?"
+
+Tom and Sue look at each other. They do not know what to say. They do not know if they want to fly with the man. They do not know if he is nice or mean. They do not know if flying is fun or scary.
+
+"Um, no thank you," Tom says. "We have to go. Bye."
+
+They run away from the truck. They run back to the park. They do not look at the balloon anymore. They play with their ball instead. They are happy. They do not need to reach the balloon. They have each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were their vests. Their vests were modern and had many buttons and pockets. They could pretend to be doctors, astronauts, or spies with their vests.
+
+One day, their mom told them they had to share their vests with their cousins, who were coming to visit. Tom and Lily did not want to share. They liked their vests too much. They hid their vests under their bed and hoped their mom would not find them.
+
+When their cousins arrived, they were very happy to see Tom and Lily. They wanted to play with them and their toys. But Tom and Lily did not have their vests. They felt sad and bored. They did not have anything fun to do with their cousins.
+
+Their mom noticed that Tom and Lily were not playing nicely. She asked them where their vests were. Tom and Lily did not answer. They looked down at their feet. Their mom looked under their bed and found their vests. She was not happy. She took their vests and gave them to their cousins.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you have been very selfish. You should share your toys with your cousins. They are your family and they love you. Sharing is caring. How would you feel if your cousins did not share their toys with you?" their mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They realized they had been wrong. They said sorry to their mom and their cousins. They asked their cousins if they could play with their vests together. Their cousins smiled and said yes. They all put on their vests and had a lot of fun. They pretended to be doctors, astronauts, and spies. They learned that sharing makes everyone happy.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park after school. They had a club. The club was a big box with a hole. They put the box under a tree. They said it was their secret house.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog near their box. The dog was black and had sharp teeth. It barked loud. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the dog. They hid behind a bench.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "This is our club. You can't come in!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It ran to the box. It sniffed the hole. It tried to get in.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben cried. "The dog is scary. It will break our club!"
+
+Lily had an idea. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up. She threw it far away.
+
+"Look, dog!" she said. "A stick! Go get it!"
+
+The dog heard Lily. It saw the stick. It forgot about the box. It ran after the stick.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They ran to their box. They got in. They hugged each other.
+
+"That was close!" Ben said. "You are very brave, Lily. You saved our club!"
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. "You are very kind. You remind me of my brother. He is nice too."
+
+They smiled. They were safe. They were still best friends. They played in their club until it was time to go home.
+Tom likes to whistle. He whistles when he is happy, when he is sad, when he is bored. He whistles all the time. He thinks whistling is fun.
+

+
+The dog runs to Tom and barks. Tom is scared. He stops whistling. He tries to run away. But the dog is faster. The dog bites Tom's leg. Tom cries. His leg hurts. His mom screams. She calls for help.

+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a big carrot in the ground. They want to eat it.
+
+"Let's dig it out!" says Lila.
+
+"No, let's climb it!" says Ben.
+
+They run to the carrot. They try to pull it, but it is too hard. They try to climb it, but it is too slippery. They fall down and laugh.
+
+A rabbit comes out of a hole. He sees the carrot. He hops to it. He nibbles it. It is yummy. It is rare. He does not see many big carrots.

+
+Her dad was a kind man. He saw Lily crying. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Lily. We will find your bear. I love you."
+
+They walked around the park. They looked for the bear. They asked people if they saw the bear. But no one saw the bear.
+
+Then they saw a big dog. The dog had something in its mouth. It was Lily's bear! The dog was running away with the bear.
+
+Lily shouted, "Stop, dog! That's my bear! Give it back!"
+
+Her dad ran after the dog. He said, "Hey, dog! Drop the bear! That's not yours!"
+
+But the dog was fast. It ran to the other side of the park. It jumped over a fence. It was gone.
+
+Lily was very sad. She said, "Oh, no! The dog took my bear! The dog is a stupid dog!"
+
+Her dad hugged her again. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The dog was a bad dog. But maybe we can get you a new bear. A better bear. A bear that loves you."

+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they find a big rock. It is smooth and shiny. They want to take it home.
+
+"Look, Ben, a rock!" Lila says. "It is so pretty. Can we keep it?"
+
+"OK, Lila, but it is heavy. How can we carry it?" Ben says.
+
+They try to lift the rock, but it is too hard. They push and pull, but it does not move. They think of a plan.
+
+"I know, Ben, we can roll it!" Lila says. "We can make it go east, to our house."
+
+"Good idea, Lila, let's try!" Ben says.
+
+They start to roll the rock. It is easier than lifting. They roll it east, along the path. They are happy and proud.
+
+"Look, Mom, look, Dad, we found a rock!" they shout, when they reach the house. "It is smooth and shiny. Can we keep it?"
+
+Mom and Dad come out to see. They smile and hug the twins.
+
+"What a nice rock!" Mom says. "You worked hard to bring it home. Yes, you can keep it. Where do you want to put it?"
+
+Lila and Ben think for a moment. They have an idea.
+
+"Can we put it in our room, Mom, Dad?" they ask. "We can use it as a table, or a chair, or a bed. We can rock on it, too. It is fun!"
+
+Mom and Dad laugh and agree. They help the twins to carry the rock to their room. They put it in a corner, where it fits well. Lila and Ben are happy. They thank Mom and Dad. They play with their rock. They rock on it, and pretend it is a boat, or a car, or a mountain. They have a lot of fun. They love their rock.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had many toys and books to play with. They liked to make noise and mess. But soon it was time to go inside. Mum called them from the door.
+
+"Come on, Lily and Ben, it's getting dark. Time to tidy up and have dinner."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They wanted to stay outside. They ignored Mum and kept playing.
+
+Mum called again. "Lily and Ben, I mean it. It's very dark now. You need to carry your toys and books inside and put them away. Or you will have no dessert."
+
+Lily and Ben did not like to miss dessert. They liked cake and ice cream. They decided to listen to Mum. They started to carry their toys and books inside. But there were too many. They could not carry them all at once.
+
+They asked each other for help. "Can you carry this for me?" "Can you hold this for me?" They worked together to carry their toys and books inside. They put them away in their boxes and shelves. They made their room tidy.
+
+Mum was happy to see them. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "Well done, Lily and Ben. You did a good job. You are very good at carrying and tidying. Now you can have your dinner and dessert."
+
+Lily and Ben were happy too. They said, "Thank you, Mum. We are sorry we did not listen at first. We like to play, but we also like to carry and tidy. And we love cake and ice cream." They ate their dinner and dessert. They had a good night.

+
+Lily says, "Wow, thank you. Can I open it?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yes, but be careful. It is fragile. It can break if you drop it or shake it."
+
+Lily says, "OK, I will be careful. I can't wait to see it."
+
+She opens the box and sees the castle. She gasps and says, "It is amazing. It is the best present ever. Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very good at building things. Can I play with it?"

+
+Tom and Sue ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They laughed and had fun. Then they saw a gray rat near the sandbox. It had a long tail and small eyes.
+
+"Look, a rat!" Sue said.
+
+"Yuck, I don't like rats," Tom said.
+
+The rat saw them and ran away. It went to a small door under a tree. The door had a lock on it.
+
+"Where is it going?" Sue wondered.
+
+"Let's find out," Tom said.
+
+They followed the rat to the door. They saw the rat use its teeth to unlock the lock. The door opened and the rat went inside.
+
+"What is in there?" Sue asked.
+
+"I don't know, but I want to see," Tom said.
+
+He tried to open the door, but it was too heavy for him.
+
+"Help me, Sue," he said.
+
+Sue helped him push the door. They opened it a little bit and looked inside. They saw many more rats. They were gray, brown, and black. They had cheese, bread, and fruit. They looked happy.
+
+"Wow, they have a home," Sue said.
+
+"And food," Tom said.
+
+The rats saw them and made noises. They did not like the children.
+
+"Go away, this is ours," one rat said.
+
+"Sorry, we didn't mean to bother you," Tom said.
+
+He and Sue closed the door and ran back to their mom.
+
+"Mom, we saw a rat house," Sue said.
+
+"A rat house? What do you mean?" mom asked.
+
+They told her what they saw. Mom was surprised.

+
+"OK, mom, we won't," Tom and Sue said.
+
+They played some more in the park. They forgot about the rats. They had a good day.

+
+"Why don't you want an apple? Apples are healthy. They make you strong and smart," Sara says.
+
+"I know, but cookies are yummy. They make me happy and full," Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They think for a moment. Then they smile.

+
+"What should we build, Anna?" Ben asked.
+
+"Let's build a dishwasher!" Anna said. "We can help Mommy wash the dishes."
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Ben agreed. They took all their blocks and started to build a big box with a door and some buttons.
+
+Mommy was in the kitchen, making lunch. She heard the twins talking and building in the living room. She smiled and thought, "How adorable! They are so creative and helpful. I wonder what they are making."
+
+She finished making lunch and called the twins to the table. "Come on, Anna and Ben, it's time to eat!"
+
+"OK, Mommy, we're coming!" Anna and Ben said. They ran to the kitchen, leaving their block dishwasher behind.

+
+Anna and Ben explained how they built their dishwasher and how they pretended to put dishes inside and press the buttons. They said they wanted to help Mommy wash the dishes.
+
+Mommy hugged them and said, "You are so sweet and clever! Thank you for wanting to help me. But you know what? I have a surprise for you. Come with me."
+
+She took them to the garage and showed them a big box. She opened it and revealed a real dishwasher. "Look, this is our new dishwasher. Daddy bought it for us. It can wash the dishes for us. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Anna and Ben gasped and clapped. They were so excited and happy. They helped Mommy load the new dishwasher and press the buttons. They watched the water and soap spray inside. They said, "Wow, this is amazing! Thank you, Mommy and Daddy!"

+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pile of wood near the fence. They wanted to build a house with the wood, but their mom said no.
+
+"Wood is not for playing. Wood is for burning. You could get hurt or start a fire. Go and play with your toys instead," mom said.
+
+But Ben and Lily did not listen. They waited until mom went inside, and then they ran to the pile of wood. They started to take some pieces and stack them together. They thought they were very clever.
+
+"Look, we are making a house. It will be cozy and warm. We can hide from mom and dad," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, and we can invite our friends and have a party. They will think we are cool," Lily said.
+
+They did not see the dog who was watching them from behind the fence. The dog was hungry and bored. He saw the wood and thought it was a good thing to chew. He jumped over the fence and ran to the pile of wood. He started to bite and pull the pieces, making them fall and scatter.
+
+"Hey, stop that! That is our house! Go away, bad dog!" Ben and Lily shouted.
+
+But the dog did not stop. He barked and wagged his tail. He thought they were playing with him. He knocked down more pieces of wood, making a big mess.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the dog and the wood and the twins. She was angry and scared.
+
+"What are you doing? I told you not to play with the wood. You are foolish and naughty. You could have been hurt or started a fire. And you let the dog in. He could have bitten you or run away. Go to your room right now. You are not allowed to play outside for the rest of the day," mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done wrong. They followed mom to their room, leaving the dog and the wood behind. They wished they had listened to mom. They learned their lesson.
+Lily was scared. She had to go to the doctor. The doctor had a needle. The needle was sharp. Lily did not like needles.
+
+"Mommy, I don't want to go!" Lily cried. She held her teddy bear tight.
+
+"Shh, it's okay, sweetie. The doctor is nice. He will help you stay healthy. The needle will not hurt much. It will be very quick." Mommy said. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek.
+
+They went inside the doctor's office. The doctor smiled. He had a white coat and a stethoscope. He listened to Lily's heart and lungs. He checked her ears and throat. He said Lily was strong and brave.
+
+"Now, Lily, I need to give you a little poke with this needle. It will protect you from getting sick. Can you be a big girl and let me do it?" The doctor asked.
+
+Lily looked at the needle. She felt scared. She wanted to run away. But she remembered what Mommy said. She wanted to be healthy. She wanted to be brave.
+
+"Okay, doctor. I will try." Lily said. She squeezed her teddy bear. She closed her eyes.
+
+The doctor was gentle. He put a band-aid on Lily's arm. He gave her a sticker and a lollipop. He said Lily was very good.
+
+"Thank you, doctor. That was not so bad." Lily said. She smiled. She opened her eyes.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You did great. I'm proud of you. You are a big girl." The doctor said. He smiled back.
+
+Mommy hugged Lily. She said Lily was amazing. She said she loved her very much.
+
+Lily felt happy. She learned that needles were not so scary. She learned that being brave was good. She learned that Mommy and the doctor cared for her. She squeezed her teddy bear. She licked her lollipop. She said thank you. She said she loved them too.
+Tim and Lily went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things that were very old and strange. Mom said they were ancient. Tim liked the big bones of the animals that lived long ago. Lily liked the shiny stones and the pretty dresses.
+
+They came to a room where there was a stage. Mom said there was going to be a show. They had to wait for a little while until the show started. Tim and Lily sat on the chairs and looked around. They saw other children and grown-ups waiting too.
+
+Soon, the lights went down and the music started. A man came on the stage and said hello. He wore a funny hat and a colorful coat. He said he was a magician and he was going to do some tricks. He asked for a volunteer from the audience. Tim raised his hand and waved. The man saw him and said, "You, come up here!"
+
+Tim was very happy and ran to the stage. The man gave him a wand and a hat. He told him to wave the wand and say a magic word. Tim did as he was told and said, "Abracadabra!" The man lifted the hat and there was a rabbit inside. The rabbit was white and fluffy and had long ears. Tim was amazed and so was everyone else. They all clapped their hands and cheered.

+
+Sam took Tom's parrot to his house. He put the parrot on his shoulder and showed it to his mom and dad. They liked the parrot too. They said the parrot was unusual and smart.
+
+But Sam was not careful. He forgot to close the window in his room. The parrot saw the window and flew out. Sam tried to catch the parrot, but it was too fast. The parrot flew away and did not come back.
+
+Tom came to get his parrot from Sam. He was very sad when he heard what happened. He cried and said he missed his parrot. He was angry at Sam for not being careful. He said he did not want to be friends with Sam anymore. Sam was sorry, but it was too late. Tom's parrot was gone. The end.

+
+"Mom, I am afraid!" Lila says to her mom, who is in the nest.
+
+"Don't worry, my dear. It is just a storm. It will pass soon. Come here and stay with me." Mom says and hugs Lila with her wing.
+
+Lila feels warm and safe. She snuggles with her mom and closes her eyes. She hears the rain falling on the leaves. She likes the sound. It is like a song.
+
+After a while, the storm is over. The sun comes out and makes a rainbow. Lila sees the colors and smiles. She wants to fly and see the rainbow.

+
+"Okay, Mom. I will wash my wing." Lila says and flies to a pond. She dips her wing in the water and shakes it. She feels fresh and clean. She flies to the rainbow and sings. She is happy.

+
+"Look, mom, I can dive!" Ben says. He jumps into the water and makes a big splash. He comes up and smiles. "That was fun!"
+
+"Good job, Ben!" mom says. "Be careful, don't go too deep."
+
+Anna wants to dive too. She takes off her bow and puts it on the side of the pool. She runs and jumps into the water. She does not make a big splash. She comes up and frowns. "That was boring!"
+
+"Why do you say that, Anna?" mom asks.
+
+"Because Ben made a bigger splash than me!" Anna says. "He is better at diving!"
+
+"No, he is not better, he is just bigger," mom says. "You are both good at diving. And you are good at other things too. Like wearing a pretty bow!"
+
+Anna looks at her bow. She smiles. She puts it back in her hair. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I like my bow. And I like diving too. Can we do it again?"

+Mia liked to play in the garden with her toys. She had a ball, a doll, a car and a teddy bear. She liked to make them talk to each other and have fun. But sometimes she felt lonely, because she had no one to play with. Her mom and dad were busy in the house, and her big brother was at school.
+
+One day, she saw a lemon tree in the corner of the garden. She had never seen it before. It had bright yellow fruits that looked like balls. She wanted to pick one and see how it tasted. She ran to the tree and reached for a lemon. But the ground was wet and slippery, and she fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she sobbed.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came out of the house. She saw Mia on the ground, holding a lemon in her hand.

+"Mia, what happened?" she asked, as she picked her up and hugged her.
+
+"I wanted to get a lemon, but I slipped and fell," Mia said, showing her mom her knee.

+
+"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Mia said, smiling.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie. But why did you want a lemon? They are very sour, you know. They don't taste good," her mom said.
+
+"I don't know. I just wanted to try one. I was lonely and bored," Mia said.
+
+"Well, you don't have to be lonely and bored anymore. I have a surprise for you. Come with me," her mom said, as she took her hand and led her to the front of the house.

+Lila and Sam like to act. They pretend to be different animals and people. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they want to act like they are camping in the woods.

+They put a big blanket on the floor and say it is their tent. They use pillows and stuffed animals to make it cozy. They take a flashlight and a book and go inside the tent. They read stories about bears and rabbits and birds.
+
+"Let's go outside and make a fire," Sam says. "We can roast marshmallows and sing songs."

+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some were shiny and new, and some were old and broken. Ben and Lily wanted to make their old cars look new again. They decided to pretend they had a factory where they could restore their cars.

+They found a big cardboard box and cut out a door and a window. They wrote "Car Factory" on the box with a marker. They put some paint, glue, and stickers inside the box. They took their old cars and went inside the box. They started to paint, glue, and stick their cars.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made this car red and fast!" Ben said, holding a car with a new coat of paint and a flame sticker.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a nice car!" Lily said, admiring Ben's car. "But look at my car, I made it pink and pretty!" She showed Ben a car with a new coat of paint and a flower sticker.
+
+"That's a fake car, Lily!" Ben said, frowning. "Cars are not pink and pretty, they are red and fast!"
+
+"No, Ben, that's a fake car!" Lily said, pointing at Ben's car. "Cars are not red and fast, they are pink and pretty!"
+
+Ben and Lily started to argue. They did not like each other's cars. They did not want to share their factory. They pushed and pulled the cars. They made a big mess.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said, coming into the room. She saw the box, the paint, the glue, the stickers, and the cars. She saw Ben and Lily's angry faces. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Ben and Lily?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting over your cars?"
+
+"Mom, Lily made a fake car!" Ben said.
+
+"Mom, Ben made a fake car!" Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up a car and looked at it. She smiled.
+
+"Ben and Lily, these are not fake cars. These are your cars. You made them with your own hands. You used your imagination. You restored them. That's very creative and clever. You should be proud of your cars. And you should be nice to each other. You are brother and sister. You can share your factory and your cars. You can have fun together."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and Lily. She gave them each a car. She helped them clean up the mess. She put the box in a corner.
+
+"Can we play with our cars again, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Can we play with our factory again, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can, Ben and Lily. But remember, be kind and respectful. And don't make too much noise. OK?" Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." Ben and Lily said.
+
+They went back to their factory. They played with their cars. They made more cars. They restored them. They were happy.
+Anna likes to play with her toys. She has many toys, but her favorite is a pink pig. She calls her pig Pinky. She hugs Pinky and talks to him every day. She values Pinky very much.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and Pinky. She sees other kids playing with balls and bikes and dolls. She wants to play with them, but she does not want to leave Pinky alone. She asks her mom if she can take Pinky with her. Her mom says yes, but she tells Anna to be careful and not lose Pinky.
+
+Anna runs to the sandbox with Pinky. She meets a boy named Ben. Ben has a blue truck. He says he likes Anna's pig. He asks Anna if she wants to trade. He says he will give her his truck for her pig. Anna thinks for a moment. She likes trucks, but she loves Pinky. She says no, thank you. She says Pinky is her best friend and she does not want to trade him. Ben says okay and smiles. He says Anna is nice and he likes her. He says they can play together with their toys. Anna smiles too. She says yes, that sounds fun. She says they can share their toys and be friends. They play happily in the sandbox with Pinky and the truck. Anna is glad she values Pinky and did not trade him. She is also glad she met a nice boy who values her.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have a phone toy that makes noises and lights up. Lily likes to press the buttons and hear the sounds. Ben likes to spin the phone around and watch the colors.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can spin the phone very fast!" Ben says. He holds the phone by the cord and swings it in the air. The phone makes a whirring noise and flashes red and blue.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is great!" Lily says. She claps her hands and smiles. She wants to try spinning the phone too. "Can I have a turn, please?"
+
+"Okay, Lily, you can have a turn. But be careful, don't drop the phone!" Ben says. He gives the phone to Lily and helps her hold the cord. Lily spins the phone slowly at first, then faster and faster. She giggles and feels dizzy.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can spin the phone very fast too!" Lily says. She is having fun with the phone. She does not see that the cord is getting tangled around her legs.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily, watch out!" Ben says. He sees that Lily is about to fall. He tries to catch her, but it is too late. Lily trips over the cord and falls to the floor. The phone flies out of her hand and lands on the couch.
+
+"Ouch, Lily, are you okay?" Ben says. He runs to Lily and hugs her. He is worried that she is hurt.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben, don't worry. It was just a little bump." Lily says. She rubs her knee and smiles. She is not hurt, just a little scared. She hugs Ben back and says, "Thank you, Ben, for being a great brother."
+
+"You're welcome, Lily, for being a great sister." Ben says. He smiles and says, "Let's play something else, okay? Maybe something that does not spin so much."
+
+"Okay, Ben, let's play something else." Lily says. She agrees that spinning the phone was too much. She picks up the phone and says, "Maybe we can call Mommy and tell her we love her."
+
+"Good idea, Lily, let's call Mommy." Ben says. He picks up the other phone and says, "Hello, Mommy, we love you!"
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They love to play and share. One day, they go to the farm with their moms. They see many animals and plants. They are happy.
+
+They see a big field of corn. The corn is yellow and tall. Sara and Ben want to pick some corn. They ask their moms. Their moms say yes, but only one each. Sara and Ben say okay.
+
+They run to the field. They look for the best corn. Sara finds a big and shiny one. She picks it and smiles. Ben finds a small and wrinkled one. He picks it and frowns.
+
+They go back to their moms. Sara shows her corn. She says, "Look, mom, I have the best corn!" Ben shows his corn. He says, "Look, mom, I have the worst corn!"
+
+Their moms look at the corn. Sara's mom says, "Your corn is big and shiny, but it is not ripe. It is hard and bitter. You cannot eat it." Ben's mom says, "Your corn is small and wrinkled, but it is ripe. It is soft and sweet. You can eat it."
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know that. Sara feels sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. Your corn is better than mine." Ben feels sorry. He says, "It's okay, Sara. I was wrong too. I was jealous of your corn."
+
+They hug and say sorry. They decide to share their corn. They peel and cook it. They eat it together. They enjoy it. They learn a lesson. They learn that looks are not everything. They learn that what matters is what is inside. They learn to be charming and kind. They love each other more. The end.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. But today, the sky is gloomy. It is dark and cold. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes.
+
+"I am bored," Tim says. "What can we do?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She has an idea. "We can play thumb war!" she says. "Do you know how to play?"
+
+Tim nods. He knows how to play. He holds up his hand. Mia holds up her hand too. They touch their thumbs together.
+
+"One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war!" they say together. Then they try to catch each other's thumb with their fingers.
+
+They laugh and giggle. They have fun. They forget about the gloomy sky. They play thumb war until their mommies call them for lunch.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used a mop to stir their soup.
+
+"Look, Ben, our soup is almost ready!" Lily said. "We just need to add some salt and pepper."
+
+She reached for the salt shaker on the counter, but it was too high for her. She tried to jump, but she could not reach it.
+
+"Let me try, Lily," Ben said. He was taller than Lily, but not by much. He also tried to jump, but he could not reach the salt shaker either.
+
+They both jumped and jumped, but the salt shaker stayed on the counter.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice behind them.
+
+"What are you two doing?" It was Mom. She looked angry. She saw the mop in the soup pot and the mess on the floor.
+
+"We were making soup, Mom," Lily said.
+
+"With a mop?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, it was our spoon," Ben said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She took the mop and the pot and put them in the sink. She gave Lily and Ben a wet cloth and told them to clean the floor.
+
+"Next time, if you want to play in the kitchen, ask me first," Mom said. "And don't use a mop for cooking. It's dirty and gross."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom mad. They cleaned the floor and said sorry to Mom. Mom hugged them and said she loved them.
+
+"Maybe next time, we can make soup together," Mom said. "With a real spoon."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked that idea. They loved Mom and they loved soup.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. Lily's favorite shape was the triangle. She liked to make roofs and hats and noses with the triangles.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a house with a triangle roof!" Lily said, showing her brother her creation.
+
+"That's nice, Lily, but I made a car with a triangle wheel!" Tom said, rolling his car on the floor.
+
+They were having fun, but they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. Their mom came to their room and saw the mess of blocks.
+
+"Lily and Tom, it's time for lunch. Put away your blocks and come to the table," their mom said.
+
+"But mom, we're not done playing!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"You can play later, but now you need to eat. Come on, hurry up," their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They had an idea. They decided to escape from their mom. They hid behind their bed and covered themselves with a blanket. They thought their mom would not find them.
+
+"Where are you, Lily and Tom? I can't see you," their mom said, pretending to look for them.
+
+Lily and Tom giggled under the blanket. They thought they were very clever.
+
+But their mom was clever too. She saw the blanket moving and heard the giggles. She lifted the blanket and found them.
+
+"Gotcha! You can't escape from me!" their mom said, tickling them.
+
+Lily and Tom laughed and squirmed. They realized it was difficult to escape from their mom. They gave up and hugged their mom.
+
+"Okay, mom, we're sorry. We'll come to lunch," Lily and Tom said.
+
+Their mom smiled and kissed them. She helped them put away their blocks and took them to the table. They ate their lunch and told their mom about their blocks. Their mom listened and praised them. They were happy and loved their mom.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They found a big pile of acorns under a tree and decided to collect them. They each had a small basket to fill with acorns.
+
+"Look, I have more acorns than you!" Tim said, showing his basket to Sam.
+
+"No, you don't! You have some bad acorns that are broken or rotten. Mine are all good and shiny!" Sam said, showing his basket to Tim.
+
+They started to argue and compare their acorns. They did not want to share or trade with each other. They wanted to have the best acorns for themselves.
+
+"Let's separate our acorns and see who has more good ones!" Tim said, dumping his basket on the ground.
+
+"Fine, let's do that!" Sam said, dumping his basket on the ground too.
+
+They began to sort their acorns into two piles: good and bad. They picked up each acorn and looked at it carefully. They threw the bad ones away and kept the good ones.
+
+But as they were separating their acorns, they did not notice a squirrel watching them from the tree. The squirrel was hungry and wanted to eat some acorns. He saw the bad ones that Tim and Sam threw away and thought they looked tasty. He ran down the tree and grabbed as many bad acorns as he could. He stuffed them in his cheeks and ran back to the tree.
+
+Tim and Sam were so busy with their acorns that they did not see the squirrel. They finished separating their acorns and counted them.
+
+"Ha! I have more good acorns than you! I have twenty and you have eighteen!" Tim said, smiling.
+
+"No, you don't! You cheated! You took some of my good acorns and put them in your pile!" Sam said, frowning.
+
+They started to argue again and accuse each other of stealing. They did not have fun anymore. They were angry and sad.
+
+The squirrel watched them from the tree and shook his head. He thought they were silly and greedy. He was happy with his bad acorns. He ate them and enjoyed them. He did not care how many he had or how they looked. He was full and satisfied. He wished Tim and Sam could be happy too.
+Anna loved to visit her aunt Mary. Aunt Mary was chubby and kind. She always had yummy snacks and fun toys for Anna. Anna liked to play with the dolls, the cars and the books in aunt Mary's house.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big box in aunt Mary's room. She was curious and wanted to see what was inside. She opened the box and found a beautiful dress. It was pink and sparkly and had a bow. Anna wanted to try it on. She took off her clothes and put on the dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a princess.
+
+But then she heard aunt Mary coming. She was afraid that aunt Mary would be angry if she saw her in the dress. She quickly took off the dress and threw it on the bed. She put on her clothes and ran to the living room. She did not fold the dress or put it back in the box. She did not shut the box or the door.
+
+Aunt Mary came in and saw the mess in her room. She saw the dress on the bed, wrinkled and dirty. She saw the box open and the door open. She was sad and upset. She knew that Anna had played with her dress without asking. She went to the living room and asked Anna, "Did you play with my dress?"
+
+Anna was scared and ashamed. She did not want to tell the truth. She said, "No, I did not play with your dress. I played with the dolls and the cars and the books."
+
+Aunt Mary knew that Anna was lying. She said, "Anna, I am very disappointed in you. You played with my dress and you made a mess. You did not respect my things or my room. And you did not tell me the truth. You should say sorry and help me clean up."
+
+Anna felt sorry and guilty. She knew that aunt Mary was right. She said, "I am sorry, aunt Mary. I played with your dress and I lied to you. I will help you clean up and I will not do it again."
+
+Aunt Mary hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, Anna. I forgive you. I love you very much. But next time, please ask me before you play with my things. And always tell me the truth. That is how we show respect and love to each other."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I love you too, aunt Mary. And I will ask you and tell you the truth from now on."
+
+The moral of the story is: We should respect other people's things and tell the truth.

+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. But their favorite toy was the big piano that made music when they pressed the keys. They took turns to play songs and sing along.
+
+One day, Ben had a naughty idea. He wanted to poke Mia with a stick when she was playing the piano. He thought it would be funny to see her jump and scream. He found a stick in the garden and hid it behind his back. He waited for Mia to play a song.
+
+Mia started to play a happy song. She smiled and sang with a loud voice. Ben sneaked behind her and poked her hard in the back with the stick. Mia felt a sharp pain and stopped playing. She turned around and saw Ben holding the stick and laughing. She was very angry and sad. She cried and ran to their mom.
+
+Mom heard Mia crying and came to the living room. She saw Ben with the stick and the piano. She asked what happened. Mia told her how Ben poked her with the stick and hurt her. Mom was very disappointed and angry with Ben. She scolded him and took away the stick and the piano. She said he could not play with them for a week. She said he had to say sorry to Mia and be nice to her. She said poking was not funny, but mean and dangerous.
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he had made a big mistake. He had lost his favorite toy and hurt his sister. He wished he had not poked her with the stick. He wished he had played with her and shared the music. He said sorry to Mia and hugged her. He learned that poking was wrong and that he had to be brave and kind.
+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. One day, their mom made a meal for them. She gave them each a plate of food and a glass of juice.
+
+"Can I use your spoon?" Lily asked Tom. She did not have a spoon on her plate.
+
+"No, you can't. It is my spoon. Find your own spoon," Tom said. He was harsh to his sister.
+
+"But I don't have a spoon. How can I eat my food?" Lily said. She was sad and hungry.
+
+"Too bad. You should have asked mom for a spoon. I am not giving you mine," Tom said. He ate his food and drank his juice.
+
+Lily did not eat her food. She cried and cried. Mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Why are you crying, Lily? Don't you like your meal?" Mom asked.
+
+"I like my meal, but I don't have a spoon. Tom won't let me use his spoon. He is harsh to me," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at Tom. She was angry and disappointed.
+
+"Tom, that is not nice. You should share your spoon with your sister. She is your family. You should be kind and helpful to her. How would you feel if you did not have a spoon and she did not let you use hers?" Mom said.
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He gave his spoon to Lily.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. You can use my spoon. I was harsh to you. I will share with you from now on," Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled. She took the spoon and ate her food. She thanked Tom and gave him a hug.
+
+Mom was happy. She praised Tom and Lily for being good to each other.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should share with your family and be kind to them. Being harsh to them will make them sad and hurt their feelings. Sharing will make them happy and show them you love them.

+Lily did the same and agreed, "Yes, it is! Thank you, mom!"
+
+They ate their soup and bread happily. But then, they noticed that there was only one spoonful of soup left in the pot.
+
+"I want the last spoonful!" Ben said.
+
+"No, I want it!" Lily said.
+
+They both reached for the spoon and started to pull it. They began to argue and shout.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Mom said. "You are both being very rude and greedy. You have had enough soup. You should share and be kind to each other."
+
+She took the spoon from them and poured the last spoonful of soup into a small bowl. She cut it in half with a knife and gave each twin half a spoonful.
+
+"There, now you both have some. But you should not fight over food. There are many children in the world who have no soup at all. You should be grateful and happy for what you have."
+
+Ben and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, twin."
+
+They hugged each other and ate their half spoonfuls of soup. They realized that the soup was still delicious, even if it was very little. They thanked their mom and said they loved her.

+
+Tim and Jen are sad. They have zero blocks. They have no tower. They cry.
+
+"Stop, Sam!" Tim says. "That is not nice. Give us our blocks back!"
+
+"No!" Sam says. "They are mine. Go away!"
+
+Tim and Jen are angry. They want to get their blocks back. They have an idea. They see a lemon on the table. They know lemons are sour. They squeeze the lemon. They make lemon juice. They sneak behind Sam. They splash the lemon juice on his tower.
+

+
+Tim and Jen are happy. They have their blocks back. They make their tower again. They smile.

+
+Ben said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. I can help you. We can do the puzzle together. It is more fun that way."

+
+But then they saw something shiny. It was a metal pipe. It was smooth and silver. It was bigger than the log and it had holes in it.
+

+
+They ran to the pipe and touched it. It was cold and hard. They lifted it and carried it to their house. They put it on top of their house.

+Tom did not care about patterns. He just threw his clothes and toys into his bag. He did not fold them or match them. He thought it was faster and easier.
+
+"Tom, you are packing wrong!" Lily said. "Your bag is messy and ugly. You have to make a pattern like me. It is fun and pretty."
+
+"No, I am not!" Tom said. "Your bag is boring and slow. You have to pack like me. It is fun and easy."
+
+Lily and Tom started to argue. They did not listen to each other. They did not want to share their bags or their ideas.
+
+Mom heard them and came to their room. She saw their bags and their faces. She was not happy.
+
+"Lily and Tom, stop fighting!" Mom said. "You are both packing fine. You can pack your bags however you want. But you have to respect each other and be kind. You are brother and sister. You should love each other, not argue."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They realized that they did not have to pack the same way. They could have different patterns and still be lovely. They finished packing their bags and went to Grandma's house. They had a wonderful weekend.

+
+"Maybe Tom is not here," he says. "Maybe he does not want the ball. Can we play with it for a little bit?"
+
+Mia shakes her head. She knows it is not right.
+
+"No, Ben, we cannot," she says. "The ball is Tom's. He may come back for it. He may be sad if he does not find it. We should leave it here."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He knows Mia is right. He does not want to make Tom sad.
+
+"Okay, Mia, you are right," he says. "We should leave the ball here. Maybe we can find another toy to play with. Come, let's go."

+
+"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!" the lady said. "But why did you hug the snowman? He's made of snow. He's always cold and hard."
+
+"We wanted to make him happy. He looked perfect," Lila said.
+
+"Well, he may look perfect, but he's not alive. He can't feel happy or sad. He's just a snowman," the lady said.
+
+"Oh, we didn't know that. We're sorry, snowman," Max said.
+
+"It's okay, kids. You didn't mean to hurt him or yourselves. But next time, be careful. Don't hug things that are frozen. They can hurt you. Only hug things that are warm and soft. They can love you," the lady said.

+
+"Anna broke her doll!" Ben lied. "She pulled its hair too hard!"
+
+Mom looked at Ben and Anna. She could tell that Ben was lying. She knew that Anna loved her doll and would never hurt it.
+
+"Ben, is that the truth?" Mom asked.
+
+Ben felt guilty. He knew he had to tell the truth. He nodded his head.
+

+
+Mom hugged Ben and Anna. She was glad that Ben told the truth.
+
+"Thank you for being honest, Ben," Mom said. "That was very brave of you. But you also have to learn to share and ask nicely. You can't just take things from others. How would you feel if Anna took your car?"
+
+Ben thought about it. He wouldn't like it if Anna took his car. He liked his car a lot.
+
+"I would feel sad and mad," Ben said.
+
+"That's how Anna felt when you took her doll," Mom said. "You have to respect her feelings and her things. Do you understand?"

+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that Anna forgave him. He agreed to share his car with her.
+
+"Okay, Anna," Ben said. "I will be nice to your doll. And you can play with my car. But be careful with the wheels!"

+
+Lily was very stubborn and didn't want to sort the pieces at first. But her mom said, "If you don't sort the pieces, you can't play the game." So Lily started to sort the pieces one by one.
+
+After sorting all the pieces, Lily and her friends played the game. It was so much fun! Lily was happy that she sorted the pieces and didn't give up. From that day on, Lily learned that sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do, like sorting, to have fun and play games.

+
+Just then, her big sister came in and suggested, "Lily, why don't you use the mop to clean up your room? It will be much easier." Lily thought it was a great idea and started to clean up her room with the mop.
+
+After she finished, she felt very proud of herself and went to take a nap. When she woke up, she felt very happy and realized that cleaning up her room before taking a nap was a good idea. The moral of the story is that it's always better to clean up before taking a nap.

+
+From that day on, Timmy made sure to keep his toys clean and take good care of them. He never forgot the lesson he learned about replacing old things and taking care of his belongings.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a big, fair smile and loved to play outside. One day, while she was playing in the park, she saw a tiny hole in the ground. She wanted to see what was inside, so she stretched her arm out and tried to reach it.
+
+But her arm wasn't long enough to touch the bottom of the hole. So Lily got down on her hands and knees and peered inside. She saw a little bug crawling around in the hole! Lily thought it was so cool and wanted to get a closer look. She stretched her arm out again and tried to grab the bug, but it scurried away.
+
+Lily decided to leave the bug alone and went back to playing. She knew that sometimes it's not fair to bother creatures in their homes. From then on, she always remembered to be kind to the bugs and animals she found outside.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy had a red vest that he liked to wear all the time. One day, Timmy's mom told him it was time for a nap.

+Jill and Tom were friends who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of dress-up clothes and toys. One day, they decided to be wizards and witches. They put on hats and capes and took out their wands.
+
+"Let's make a spell!" Jill said. "We can turn this teddy bear into a frog!"
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to make a mess."
+
+They looked at a book of spells that had pictures and words. They found one that said "Froggy, froggy, hop and croak. Teddy, teddy, lose your coat." They pointed their wands at the teddy bear and said the words together.
+
+Nothing happened. The teddy bear was still a teddy bear.
+
+"Maybe we said it wrong," Jill said. "Let's try again."
+
+They repeated the spell, louder and faster. Still nothing.
+
+"Maybe we need something else," Tom said. "Like a magic ingredient."
+
+He looked around and saw a bottle of green liquid on the shelf. It had a label that said "Regular Juice".
+
+"Maybe this is it!" he said. "Maybe this is the magic juice that makes spells work!"
+
+He grabbed the bottle and poured some on the teddy bear. Then he said the spell again.
+
+This time, something did happen. The teddy bear started to grow and change. It grew bigger and bigger, until it was as big as a dog. It grew fur and claws and teeth. It growled and roared. It was not a frog. It was a bear!
+
+"Uh-oh," Jill said. "That was not regular juice. That was bear juice!"
+
+"Run!" Tom said. "We have to get away from the bear!"
+
+They dropped their wands and ran out of the room. The bear followed them, angry and hungry. They ran to the kitchen, where Jill's mom was making cookies.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" Jill cried. "We made a spell and turned the teddy bear into a real bear!"
+
+Jill's mom looked at them and saw the bear behind them. She was very surprised and scared.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "How did this happen?"
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Tom said. "We didn't mean to. We were just playing pretend."
+
+Jill's mom grabbed a broom and tried to shoo the bear away. She called the animal control to come and take the bear away. She told Jill and Tom to never play with spells again. She said they had to mind their manners and be careful with what they touch.
+
+Jill and Tom nodded and said they were sorry. They hugged each other and hoped the bear would not hurt anyone. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else next time. Something less dangerous. Like pirates.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were doctors and nurses, and that their dolls were sick or hurt. They had a toy kit with bandages, stethoscopes, and other things.
+
+"Your doll has a big cut on her arm," Lily said to Tom. "She needs a needle to make it better."
+
+Tom did not like needles. He was afraid of them. He remembered when he had to get a needle at the doctor's office. It hurt and made him cry.
+
+"No, no, no!" Tom said. "No needles for my doll. She is fine. She does not need a needle."
+
+"But she will get an infection if we don't use a needle," Lily said. "It will only be a little pinch. I will be very slow and gentle. Trust me, I am a good nurse."
+
+Tom shook his head. He hugged his doll tightly. He did not want to let Lily touch her with a needle.
+
+"Please, Tom, let me help your doll," Lily said. "She is my friend too. I don't want her to be sick. I will give you a sticker and a hug after the needle. It will be over soon."
+
+Tom looked at Lily. He saw that she was not mean. She was kind and caring. He wanted to be brave for his doll and his friend. He nodded slowly. He let Lily take his doll's arm.
+
+Lily smiled. She took a toy needle from her kit. She pretended to clean the cut with a cotton ball. She said, "One, two, three, needle!" She touched the needle to the doll's arm. She did not push it in. She said, "All done! You did a great job, Tom. Your doll is very brave too."
+
+Tom felt relieved. He did not feel any pain. He saw that his doll was fine. He smiled too. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good nurse. Can I have a sticker and a hug now?"
+
+Lily nodded. She gave him a sticker and a hug. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good doctor. Can we play some more?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, let's play some more. But no more needles, okay?"
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, no more needles. How about we use a thermometer instead?"
+
+They laughed. They played with their dolls happily. They did not mention needles again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big sack on a bench. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside, they found many things: a hat, a ball, a book, a purse, and more.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said. "Maybe someone left them for us!"
+
+"No, Lily, these are not ours. They belong to someone else. We should not take them," Ben said. He was a compassionate boy. He knew how to share and be kind.
+
+"But I like this purse. It is shiny and pretty. Can I have it?" Lily asked. She held the purse in her hands. She liked how it sparkled in the sun.
+
+"No, Lily, you cannot have it. It is not yours. Maybe someone is looking for it. Maybe they are sad and worried. How would you feel if you lost your purse?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered how she cried when she lost her teddy bear. She did not like that feeling. She did not want to make someone else feel that way.
+
+"You are right, Ben. I would feel bad if I lost my purse. I do not want to keep this purse. I want to find the owner and give it back," Lily said. She put the purse back in the sack. She and Ben closed the sack and looked around.
+
+They saw a lady walking towards them. She looked happy and relieved. She had a big smile on her face.
+
+"Hello, children. Thank you so much for finding my sack. I left it here by mistake. I was so worried. You are very good and honest," the lady said. She hugged Lily and Ben and gave them each a candy.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They felt proud and happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that it is better to be compassionate than to be greedy. They learned that it is better to give than to take. They learned that it is better to be friends than to fight.
+Anna liked to play with her doll. Her doll had a pink dress and long hair. Anna gave her doll a name. She called her doll Lily. Anna and Lily did everything together. They read books, had tea parties and sang songs.
+
+One day, Anna's brother Tom came into her room. Tom was naughty. He liked to take Anna's things and make her cry. He saw Lily on the bed. He grabbed Lily and ran away. Anna was very sad. She shouted, "Tom, give me back my doll!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He took Lily to the garden. He threw Lily on the grass. He found a big stick. He hit Lily with the stick. He tore her dress and pulled her hair. He laughed, "Ha ha, your doll is ugly now!"
+
+Anna followed Tom to the garden. She saw what he did to Lily. She was very angry. She ran to Tom and pushed him. She took Lily from the grass. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily, I will fix you."
+
+Tom was surprised. He did not expect Anna to fight back. He felt a pain in his mouth. He realized he had bitten his tongue. He cried, "Ow, ow, ow, I chewed my tongue!"
+
+Anna did not care. She took Lily to her room. She found some needles and threads. She sewed Lily's dress and hair. She cleaned Lily's face and body. She said, "There, Lily, you are beautiful again. You are a modest doll. You don't need fancy clothes or accessories. You only need love."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy things. Sara saw a big mixer on the counter. She wanted to use it.
+
+"Tom, can we use the mixer?" she asked.
+
+"No, Sara, that is for grown-ups. It is not a toy. It can hurt you," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to make a cake. Please, Tom, let me use it. Just for a little bit," Sara begged.
+
+Tom did not want to make Sara sad. He looked around and saw no grown-ups were available. He thought maybe it would be okay to use the mixer for a little bit. He said yes to Sara.
+
+Sara was happy. She climbed on a chair and reached for the mixer. She turned it on and saw it spin very fast. She thought it was fun. She put her hand in the bowl to feel the mix.
+
+"Ow!" she screamed. The mixer caught her hand and pulled it in. It hurt a lot. She cried and cried. Tom was scared. He tried to turn off the mixer, but he could not. He ran to get help.
+
+Sara and Tom were in big trouble. The grown-ups came and saw what happened. They were angry and worried. They took Sara to the hospital. She had to get stitches and a cast. She could not play for a long time. She wished she had listened to Tom. She learned a hard lesson.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and make mud pies. They are very happy and dirty.
+
+"Look at my mud pie!" Anna says. "It has a worm and a leaf on it."
+
+"Mine is bigger!" Ben says. "It has a stone and a stick on it."
+
+They discuss their mud pies. They think they are the best mud pies in the world.
+
+But then they hear a loud voice. It is Mom. She is angry.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What are you doing? You are filthy! Come inside right now and have a bath!"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not want to have a bath. They like being dirty.
+
+"Can we play a little more, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, you can't!" Mom says. "You have made a mess of the garden and yourselves. And look at the wall! You have splashed mud all over it. It is filthy!"
+
+Anna and Ben see the wall. It is brown and wet. They did not notice it before.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say.
+
+They follow Mom inside. They have a bath and wash the mud off. They put on clean clothes and say sorry to the wall.
+
+They still like mud pies, but they decide to play with them away from the wall next time.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. One day, mom asked Lily to get some eggs from the fridge. Lily opened the fridge and saw a big carton of eggs. She wanted to see how many eggs were inside.
+
+Lily took the carton out of the fridge and put it on the floor. She opened the lid and counted the eggs. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. There were twelve eggs. Lily was happy. She liked the number twelve.

+Lily decided to play with the eggs. She picked up one egg and rolled it on the floor. It was fun. She picked up another egg and tossed it in the air. It was more fun. She picked up a third egg and smashed it on the floor. It was the most fun. The egg made a loud noise and a big mess. Lily laughed.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what Lily was doing. She saw the egg on the floor and the carton on the floor and Lily with egg on her hands and face. Mom was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You spoiled the eggs! Now we can't use them for baking. And you made a big mess. And you let the cold air out of the fridge. You have to clean up and say sorry."
+
+Lily saw that mom was angry and felt bad. She did not mean to spoil the eggs. She did not mean to make mom angry. She said, "Sorry, mom. I was just playing. I like eggs. I like twelve." Mom sighed and said, "I know, Lily. But eggs are not for playing. They are for eating and baking. And you have to be careful with the fridge. If you leave it open, the food inside will spoil too. And that is not good. Come on, let's clean up and then we can bake something else."
+
+Mom and Lily cleaned up the egg and the carton and the floor. Mom was calm again. She hugged Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. But please don't play with the eggs again. OK?" Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I love you too. Can we bake a cake?" Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. Let's bake a cake. But first, let's get some more eggs from the fridge. And this time, be careful." Lily agreed and followed mom to the fridge. She was careful. She did not spoil the eggs. She helped mom bake a cake. And it was delicious.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples for a snack.
+
+"Look, Lily, there are so many apples!" Tom says. "Let's pick some!"
+
+"OK, Tom, but how can we reach them?" Lily asks. "They are too high for us."
+
+Tom has an idea. He sees a big stick on the ground. He picks it up and says, "I can use this stick to knock down some apples. You catch them in your hands, OK?"
+
+"OK, Tom, I will try," Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily go to the tree. Tom swings the stick and hits an apple. The apple falls down, but Lily misses it. It rolls away on the grass.
+
+"Oops, sorry, Lily, I will try again," Tom says.
+
+He swings the stick again and hits another apple. This time, Lily catches it in her hands. She is very happy.
+
+"Yay, I got it, Tom, I got it!" she says.
+
+"Good job, Lily, you are very fast!" Tom says.
+
+They turn to look for more apples. They see a big, shiny apple at the top of the tree. It looks very yummy.
+
+"Wow, look at that one, Lily, it is the biggest and the reddest!" Tom says. "I want that one!"
+
+"Me too, Tom, me too!" Lily says.
+
+Tom tries to reach the apple with his stick, but it is too far. He jumps and stretches, but he cannot touch it.
+
+"Oh, no, Tom, it is too high, we cannot get it," Lily says.
+
+Tom does not give up. He has another idea. He sees a big rock near the tree. He picks it up and says, "I can use this rock to throw at the apple. Maybe it will fall down, OK?"
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful, don't hit the tree or yourself," Lily says.
+
+Tom throws the rock at the apple. He throws it very hard and very high. The rock flies in the air and hits the apple. The apple falls down, but so does the rock. The rock lands on Tom's head and makes a loud sound.
+
+"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Tom cries. "That hurts, that hurts, that hurts!"
+
+Lily runs to Tom and hugs him. She says, "Oh, Tom, I'm sorry, are you OK? Do you want the apple?"
+
+Tom rubs his head and says, "No, Lily, I don't want the apple. I want a hug and a kiss. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily gives Tom a hug and a kiss. She says, "You are my best friend too, Tom. We don't need the apple. We have each other."
+
+They look at the apple on the ground. It is not shiny anymore. It has a big dent from the rock. It does not look yummy anymore.
+
+They leave the apple and go to the house. They see their mom in the kitchen. She has a big smile and a big plate. On the plate, there are many cookies. They are warm and sweet and smell good.
+
+"Hi, Tom and Lily, I made some cookies for you. Do you want some?" mom says.
+
+"Yes, mom, yes, mom, yes, mom!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+They run to mom and hug her. She gives them each a cookie. They take a big bite and say, "Mmm, mmm, mmm!"
+
+They look at each other and smile. They are very happy. They have cookies and mom and each other. They don't need anything else.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy animals. They have a lion, a bear, a bird and a fish. They want to know which animal is the heaviest.
+
+"I think the lion is the heaviest," says Lily. "He has a big body and a big mane."
+
+"No, I think the bear is the heaviest," says Ben. "He has a lot of fur and a big belly."
+
+They decide to use a scale to weigh the animals. They put the lion on one side and the bear on the other. The scale tips to the bear's side.
+
+"See, the bear is heavier than the lion," says Ben.
+
+"OK, but what about the bird and the fish?" asks Lily.
+
+They put the bird on the scale with the lion and the fish with the bear. The scale stays balanced.
+
+"Wow, the bird and the fish are the same weight," says Lily.
+
+"How can that be?" wonders Ben. "The bird has wings and the fish has fins."
+
+"Maybe the wings make the bird lighter and the fins make the fish heavier," guesses Lily.
+
+They take the bird and the fish off the scale and look at them closely. They notice that the bird has clean and shiny feathers and the fish has clean and shiny scales.
+
+"They are both very clean," says Lily.
+
+"Yes, they are," agrees Ben. "Maybe that's why they weigh the same."
+
+They decide to give the bird and the fish a hug and put them back in their toy box. They are happy to have learned something new about their animals.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big sack near the trash can. They decided to see what was inside.
+
+They opened the sack and saw many orange balls. They were shiny and smooth. Tom and Lily thought they were toys. They took some balls and ran to the park.
+
+They threw the balls to each other and had fun. But soon, they felt very hot. The balls were not toys. They were fire balls. They made heat and burned their hands.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Lily cried. "These balls hurt!"
+
+A man saw them and ran to help. He was a fireman. He had a hose and a hat. He sprayed water on the balls and put them out.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "These balls are very dangerous. They are for making fire in the stove. You should not play with them. You could get hurt or start a fire."
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry. They did not know the balls were for fire. They thanked the fireman and gave him back the balls. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should ask before they touch. They should be careful and safe.
+Lily liked to read novels. She had many novels in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories in her head. Sometimes, she read the words too, but they were hard.
+
+One day, she saw a new novel on the shelf. It had a big dragon on the cover. Lily loved dragons. She took the novel and opened it. But she did not like what she saw. The words were very small and there were no pictures. The novel was terrible.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the novel. "Mom, this novel is terrible. There are no pictures and the words are too small. I can't read it. Can you read it to me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Lily, this novel is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It is not terrible, it is just different. You have to trust me. You will like it when you are older. For now, why don't you pick another novel from your shelf? One that has pictures and words that you can read."
+
+Lily nodded and went back to her room. She put the terrible novel back on the shelf. She did not want to look at it again. She trusted her mom. She picked another novel, one that had a princess and a unicorn. She opened it and smiled. This novel was good. She started to read it and make up stories in her head. She was happy.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to draw with pencils. One day, they find a big box of pencils in the classroom. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, so many colors!" Anna says. "Can I have the pink one?"
+
+"Sure, Anna, you can have the pink one. I want the blue one," Tom says. He is generous. He gives Anna the pink pencil.
+
+They start to draw on a big paper. They draw flowers, trees, and animals. They have fun.
+
+But then, Sam comes. He is not nice. He wants all the pencils for himself. He steps on the paper and tears it. He grabs the box of pencils and runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop, Sam! That's not fair!" Tom shouts. He is angry. He runs after Sam.
+
+"Give us back our pencils!" Anna cries. She is sad. She runs after Tom.
+
+Sam is fast, but Tom and Anna are faster. They catch up with him. They pull the box from his hands. The pencils fall on the floor.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry," Sam says. He is scared. He sees the teacher coming.
+
+The teacher is not happy. She sees the torn paper, the pencils, and the children. She knows what happened.
+
+"Sam, that was very bad. You have to say sorry to Tom and Anna. And you have to share the pencils with them. Do you understand?" the teacher says.
+
+"Yes, teacher, I understand. I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, Anna. Can we be friends?" Sam says.
+
+Tom and Anna look at each other. They are still mad, but they are also kind. They nod.
+
+"Okay, Sam, we can be friends. But you have to be nice and generous. Like this," Tom says. He picks up the blue pencil and gives it to Sam.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. Here, Anna, you can have the pink one," Sam says. He picks up the pink pencil and gives it to Anna.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. That's very nice of you," Anna says.
+
+They smile. They pick up the other pencils and the paper. They go back to the classroom. They draw together. They are friends.
+Timmy loves to play with his plastic toys in the bath. He has a plastic boat, a plastic duck, and a plastic fish. He makes them swim and splash in the water. He pretends he is a captain of the boat and the duck and the fish are his friends.
+
+"Timmy, time to get out of the bath," his mom calls from the door. "You have been in there for a long time. You need to dry off and get ready for bed."
+
+"But mom, I am having fun," Timmy says. "Can I play a little more?"
+
+"No, Timmy, you have played enough. You need to be obedient and listen to me. Come on, I have a towel for you. And a story book to read before bed."
+
+Timmy sighs. He knows his mom is right. He loves his mom and he wants to be a good boy. He says goodbye to his plastic toys and puts them in a basket. He lets his mom wrap him in a soft towel and rub his hair. He feels warm and cozy.
+
+"Thank you for bathing, Timmy," his mom says. "You are such a clean and obedient boy. Now, let's go to your room and read a story. Which one do you want?"
+
+Timmy smiles. He likes stories. He picks his favorite book from the shelf. It is about a boy who goes on an adventure with a plastic boat, a plastic duck, and a plastic fish. He thinks maybe he can dream about that tonight. He cuddles with his mom and listens to her voice. He feels happy and sleepy. He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But then the sky became dark and loud. Rain started to fall. Ben and Mia were sad. They did not like rain.
+
+"Let's go home," Ben said. He did not want to get wet.
+
+"No, let's stay," Mia said. She liked rain. She wanted to jump in the puddles.
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not agree. Ben shrugged. He did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw something in the sky. It was a rainbow. It had many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It was bright and beautiful.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. He forgot about the rain. He smiled.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Mia said. She forgot about the puddles. She smiled too.
+
+Ben and Mia ran to the rainbow. They wanted to touch it. They held hands and laughed. They did not care about the rain anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they saw a big dog with sunglasses on. The dog was very popular. Everyone wanted to pet him and say hello.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom said. "He is so cool and funny. I want to be his friend too."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But how can we talk to him? He is surrounded by people."
+
+Tom had an idea. He took off his hat and held it in his hand. He walked up to the dog and said, "Hello, Mr. Dog. You are very handsome and smart. Can I give you a gift?"
+
+The dog looked at Tom with curiosity. He wagged his tail and nodded.
+
+Tom smiled and put his hat on the dog's head. Then he bowed and said, "This is for you, Mr. Dog. You are the king of the park."
+
+The dog liked the hat. He barked happily and licked Tom's face. Then he took off his sunglasses and gave them to Tom. He said, "Thank you, little boy. You are very kind and brave. This is for you, Tom. You are my new friend."
+
+Tom was very happy. He put on the sunglasses and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dog. You are my new friend too."
+
+Lily clapped and cheered. She ran up to the dog and hugged him. She said, "You are so nice, Mr. Dog. Can I be your friend too?"
+
+The dog nodded and licked Lily's face. He said, "Of course, little girl. You are my friend too."
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy. They played with the dog and his sunglasses and hat. They had a lot of fun. The dog was very popular, but he liked Tom and Lily the most. They were his best friends.
+Lily was a cow who lived on a farm with many other animals. She liked to drink fresh water from the pond every day. She was popular with the other animals because she was kind and friendly.
+
+One day, a new cow came to the farm. Her name was Daisy and she was very pretty. She had shiny spots and long eyelashes. She thought she was better than the other animals and did not want to share the pond with them. She said, "This is my water. You can drink somewhere else. I am the prettiest cow on the farm and I deserve the best water."
+
+Lily and the other animals were sad and angry. They did not like Daisy's mean words. They tried to talk to her, but she ignored them. She drank all the water she wanted and left none for the others.
+
+The farmer saw what was happening and decided to teach Daisy a lesson. He moved her to a different field, far away from the pond and the other animals. He gave her a bucket of water, but it was not fresh and clean. It was dirty and smelly. Daisy did not like it at all. She missed the pond and the other animals. She realized she had been selfish and rude.
+
+She said to the farmer, "Please, can I go back to the pond and the other animals? I am sorry for what I did. I will share the water and be nice to everyone. I learned that being pretty is not enough. Being kind and friendly is more important."
+
+The farmer smiled and said, "I am glad you learned your lesson, Daisy. You can go back to the pond and the other animals, but you have to promise to be a good cow from now on."
+
+Daisy nodded and said, "I promise, farmer. Thank you for giving me another chance."
+
+She ran back to the pond and the other animals. She apologized to them and asked them to be her friends. They forgave her and welcomed her. She drank the water with them and thanked them. She was happy and popular with the other animals because she was kind and friendly.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh on the lawn.
+
+One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. The dog is not friendly. It barks and growls at Tom and Mia.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Tom says. He points at the dog. "Do you want to pet it?"
+
+"No, Tom, no!" Mia says. She is scared of the dog. "The dog is mean. It can bite us. We should go away."
+
+But Tom is careless. He does not listen to Mia. He thinks the dog is cute. He walks towards the dog. He wants to touch it.
+
+The dog does not like Tom. It does not want to be touched. It snaps at Tom. It bites his hand. Tom cries out in pain. He drops the ball and the kite.
+
+Mia runs to Tom. She hugs him. She tries to make him feel better. She calls for help.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Mia says. "I told you not to pet the dog. You were careless. You should have listened to me."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia, I'm sorry," Tom says. He is sorry and sad. He is hurt and scared. He wishes he had listened to Mia. He learns his lesson. He will not be careless again.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big black dog. The dog is friendly and wags its tail. Tom and Lily want to pet the dog.
+
+"Can we touch the dog?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+Lily nods. She likes dogs. She walks to the dog and holds out her hand. The dog sniffs her hand and licks it. Lily giggles.
+
+Tom follows Lily. He also wants to pet the dog. He reaches for the dog's ear. But the dog does not like that. The dog barks and bites Tom's hand. Tom cries out in pain.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom says. He pulls his hand back. He sees a cut on his hand. It is red and hurts.
+
+Lily is scared. She runs to Tom and hugs him. She sees the cut too.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asks.
+
+Tom shakes his head. He is not okay. He needs help.
+
+Lily looks around. She sees a lady sitting on a bench. The lady is the dog's owner. She has a phone in her hand.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily shouts. She waves her arms. She wants the lady to see them.
+
+The lady hears Lily. She looks up and sees the dog, Tom and Lily. She realizes what happened. She puts down her phone and runs to them.
+
+"I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?" the lady asks.
+
+Tom nods. He shows her his cut.
+
+The lady feels sorry. She says sorry again. She takes out a tissue and wraps it around Tom's hand. She says she will call a doctor.
+
+Lily thanks the lady. She holds Tom's hand. She hopes he will be okay. She thinks the dog is not friendly. She does not like the dog anymore. She likes Tom.
+Tim and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. They also liked to scatter some pebbles and sticks on the ground to make obstacles for their cars.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise in the sky. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds and flashes of light. They felt scared and ran to the house.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is thunder outside!" Tim shouted as he entered the door.
+
+Mom was in the kitchen, making some cookies. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, my boys. Thunder is just a sound that the clouds make when they are angry. It can't hurt you. It's actually very impressive to see and hear," she said.
+
+She took them to the window and pointed at the sky.
+
+"See, the thunder is also making a show for us. It's like fireworks, but louder and brighter. And after the thunder, there is usually rain. Rain is good for the plants and the animals. It makes everything fresh and clean," she explained.
+
+Tim and Sam felt less scared and more curious. They watched the thunder and the rain with mom. They thought it was impressive, too. They also smelled the cookies and felt hungry.
+
+"Can we have some cookies, mom?" they asked.
+
+"Of course, my boys. You can have some cookies and milk. And then we can read a story together. How does that sound?" mom said.
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and smiled. They loved mom and her cookies and her stories. They forgot about the thunder and the toy cars. They felt happy and cozy.
+Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in their big house. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten with her eyes closed. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" she shouts.
+
+She looks for Ben in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, but she cannot find him. She thinks he might be upstairs, so she goes to the stair. She hears a noise from the closet at the end of the hall. She walks slowly and quietly to the closet. She opens the door and sees Ben hiding behind some clothes. "Boo!" Ben says and jumps out.
+
+Anna is frightened and screams. She runs away from the closet and down the stair. Ben laughs and follows her. "I got you, Anna! I got you!" he says.
+
+Anna stops at the bottom of the stair and turns around. She is not frightened anymore. She is angry. "That was not fair, Ben! You scared me too much!" she says.
+
+Ben stops too and looks at her. He is sorry. He did not mean to scare her so much. He just wanted to have fun. "I'm sorry, Anna. I was just playing. Please don't be mad at me," he says.
+
+Anna looks at him. She sees that he is sorry. She is not mad at him anymore. She is his sister and she loves him. She smiles and hugs him. "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, don't hide in the closet. It's too spooky," she says.
+
+Ben smiles and hugs her back. "Okay, Anna. I won't hide in the closet anymore. But you have to admit, it was a good hiding spot," he says.
+
+They laugh and go back to the living room. They decide to play another game. A game that is not scary. A game that is fun. A game that they both like. They decide to play with their blocks. They build a big tower and count how many blocks they have. They have a lot of blocks. They have fun. They are happy. They are Anna and Ben.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun.
+
+Then a stranger came to the park. He was a big man with a beard and a hat. He saw the ball and wanted to play too. He said, "Hello, kids. Can I play with your ball?"
+
+Lily and Tom did not know the stranger. They felt scared. They said, "No, thank you. This is our ball. We are playing with it."
+
+But the stranger did not listen. He said, "Give me the ball. I want to play with it." He tried to take the ball from Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom shouted, "Help! Help! A stranger is trying to take our ball!"
+
+A lady who was walking her dog heard them. She came to the park and saw the stranger. She said, "Stop! Leave the kids alone. This is not your ball. Go away!"
+
+The stranger was afraid of the lady and her dog. He ran away from the park. He did not take the ball.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They said, "Thank you, lady. Thank you, dog. You saved our ball. You are very nice."
+
+The lady said, "You're welcome, kids. You are very brave. You did the right thing. You should not talk to strangers or let them take your things. You are very lucky I was here."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged the lady and the dog. They said, "We are very lucky. You are our friend. Can we play with your dog?"
+
+The lady said, "Sure, you can play with my dog. His name is Spot. He likes to play with balls too."
+
+Lily and Tom played with Spot and the lady. They had more fun. They learned to be careful of strangers. They were very lucky.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they see a big flower in the garden. It is red and yellow and smells good.
+
+"Let's pick the flower and give it to Mommy," Anna says.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quick. Mommy is cooking in the kitchen and she will be angry if we make a mess," Ben says.
+
+They run to the flower and pull it out of the ground. They do not see the bee that lives in the flower. The bee is very angry and stings Anna on the nose.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
+
+Ben drops the flower and runs to Anna. He tries to help her, but he does not know what to do. He is scared and sad.
+
+Mommy hears Anna's cry and comes out of the kitchen. She sees Anna and Ben and the flower and the bee. She is very angry and worried.
+
+"What have you done?" Mommy shouts. "You have hurt Anna and ruined the flower and left the stove on. You are very naughty and careless!"
+
+She takes Anna to the bathroom and puts some ice on her nose. She tells Ben to go to his room and wait for her. She goes back to the kitchen and turns off the stove. The food is burned and the pot is black.
+
+Mommy is very tired and unhappy. She does not have time to cook again or to hug Ben. She gives Anna some medicine and puts her to bed. She tells Ben to go to bed too. She does not read them a story or sing them a song.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sleepy and sorry. They wish they had not picked the flower and made Mommy angry. They learn that they should listen to Mommy and be careful with nature.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Listen to your parents and be careful with nature.
+Sara and Tom are playing with paper and crayons. They like to draw different things on the paper. Sara draws a house, a tree and a sun. Tom draws a car, a road and a cloud. They are happy with their drawings.
+
+"Look, Sara, this is my car. It can go very fast on the road. Vroom, vroom!" Tom says, making a noise with his mouth.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your car is nice. It is red and shiny. Look, this is my house. It has a door, a window and a roof. It is cozy and warm." Sara says, showing her drawing.
+
+They decide to put their drawings together and make a big picture. They use tape to stick the paper on the wall. They see that their drawings make a landscape. A landscape is a big picture of what you see outside.
+
+"Look, Sara, we made a landscape. It is beautiful. We have a house, a car, a tree, a sun and a cloud. We are very good at drawing." Tom says, smiling.
+
+"Yes, Tom, we are. But you know what? I think our landscape needs something else. Something more colorful. Something like... a purple flower!" Sara says, getting an idea.
+
+She takes a purple crayon and draws a big flower on the paper. She is careful not to draw over the other things. She is proud of her flower. It is purple and pretty.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a purple flower. It is for our landscape. Do you like it?" Sara says, hoping that Tom will like it too.
+
+But Tom does not like it. He thinks that the purple flower does not belong in the landscape. He thinks that it is too big and too bright. He thinks that it ruins his car and his road. He gets angry.
+
+"No, Sara, I don't like it. It is ugly and silly. It does not fit in the landscape. It covers my car and my road. It is bad. I hate it." Tom says, frowning.
+
+He grabs the paper and tears it in half. He tears the purple flower and throws it away. He tears the house and the tree and the sun and the cloud. He tears everything. He makes a big mess.
+
+Sara is shocked and sad. She sees that Tom has torn their landscape. She sees that he has torn her flower and her house and her tree and her sun and her cloud. She sees that he has torn their drawings. She feels like he has torn her heart. She starts to cry.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that? Why did you tear our landscape? Why did you tear our drawings? Why did you tear my flower? It was nice. It was for us. It was a gift. You are mean. You are bad. You are not my friend." Sara says, sobbing.
+
+Tom sees that Sara is crying. He sees that he has hurt her feelings. He sees that he has been rude and selfish. He sees that he has made a mistake. He feels sorry and ashamed. He wants to make it up to her.
+
+"Sara, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I tore our landscape. I'm sorry I tore our drawings. I'm sorry I tore your flower. It was not ugly and silly. It was purple and pretty. It was for our landscape. It was a gift. You are nice. You are good. You are my friend." Tom says, apologizing.
+
+He picks up the pieces of paper and tries to put them back together. He uses tape to stick them on the wall. He tries to fix their landscape. He tries to fix their drawings. He tries to fix their friendship.
+
+"Look, Sara, I fixed our landscape. I fixed our drawings. I fixed your flower. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?" Tom says, hoping that Sara will smile.
+
+Sara looks at Tom and sees that he is sorry. She looks at the wall and sees that he has fixed their landscape. She sees that he has fixed their drawings. She sees that he has fixed her flower. She feels happy and grateful. She forgives him and hugs him.
+
+"Yes, Tom, I forgive you. We can be friends again. Thank you for fixing our landscape. Thank you for fixing our drawings. Thank you for fixing my flower. It is still purple and pretty. It is still for our landscape. It is still a gift." Sara says, smiling.

+They hug and kiss and make up. They look at their landscape and admire it. They see that it is beautiful. They see that it has a house, a car, a tree, a sun, a cloud and a purple flower. They see that it is their landscape. They see that it is a gift. They see that it is a symbol of their friendship. They are
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They wanted to swim and see the fish in the water. Mom and dad gave them goggles and snorkels to use. They said, "Be careful and stay close to us. The reef is very pretty, but it can be sharp and hurt you."
+
+Tom and Lily put on their goggles and snorkels and followed their mom and dad into the water. They saw many colors and shapes in the reef. They saw yellow and blue fish, red and purple coral, and green and brown seaweed. They also saw a big, ugly fish with a long nose and a big mouth. It was a barracuda.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Tom said. "That fish is so ugly and scary! I don't like it!"
+
+Lily looked and saw the barracuda. She was not afraid. She said, "That fish is not ugly, Tom. It is just different. Maybe it is nice and friendly. Maybe it likes to play."
+
+Tom did not agree. He said, "No, Lily, no! That fish is not nice and friendly. It is mean and hungry. It wants to eat us! Let's go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily swam away from the barracuda. They found their mom and dad and told them what they saw. Mom and dad smiled and said, "The barracuda is not a bad fish, Tom and Lily. It is just a big fish that lives in the reef. It does not want to eat you. It eats smaller fish. But it is good to be careful and respect all the animals in the sea. They are all part of the reef and make it beautiful."
+
+Tom and Lily learned something new that day. They learned that the reef is full of different and wonderful creatures. They learned that some are pretty and some are ugly, but they are all important and special. They learned to use their goggles and snorkels to see and enjoy the reef. They had a lot of fun at the beach.
+Ben and Lily like to play with trains. They have a big train set with many tracks and cars. They can make the trains go fast or slow, and change where they go with a switch.
+
+One day, they want to play with the train set, but it is not working. They try to push the switch, but nothing happens. They look at the plug, and see that it is not in the wall. They wonder who unplugged it.
+
+They ask their mom, and she says that she unplugged it to use the vacuum. She says that they can plug it back in, but they have to be careful. She shows them how to do it safely, and then lets them play.
+
+Ben and Lily are happy. They plug in the train set, and push the switch. The trains start to move, and make noises. They spend a long time playing with the trains, and making different routes. They are having fun, and are not bored.
+
+They are glad that their mom helped them, and that they learned how to use the plug and the switch. They are ready to play with the train set again tomorrow.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big hill and look at the sky. Sometimes they saw birds and clouds and planes. Sometimes they saw the sun and the moon and the stars.
+
+One day, they saw something new. It was a big ball of light in the sky. It was very bright and shiny. It moved slowly across the sky. Lila and Ben wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is a fairy," Lila said.
+
+"Maybe it is a spaceship," Ben said.
+
+They wanted to get closer to the light. They ran down the hill and followed the light. They ran past the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They ran past the trees and the flowers and the pond. They ran until they reached the edge of the park.
+
+There they saw a big gate. It was made of metal and stone. It had many shapes and symbols on it. It looked very old and strong. Lila and Ben had never seen it before.
+
+The light was above the gate. It stopped moving and started to glow brighter. It made a soft sound, like a bell. Lila and Ben felt a warm breeze on their faces.
+
+"Hello, children," a voice said. It came from the light. "Do you want to join me?"
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other. They were curious and excited. They wanted to see the light up close. They wanted to hear more of the voice. They wanted to know where the light came from.
+
+They nodded and smiled. They held hands and walked towards the gate. The light opened a hole in the gate. It was like a door of light. Lila and Ben stepped through the door.
+
+They entered a new world. It was full of colors and sounds and smells. It was full of wonders and secrets and stories. It was full of ancient magic and new friends. Lila and Ben joined the light and began their adventure.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a net. They shoot the ball into the net. They say "goal!" and clap.
+
+One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is a pit. They wonder what is in the pit. They go near the pit and look. They see something furry and brown. It is a dog. The dog is playful. It wags its tail and barks.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They want to play with the dog. They throw the ball into the pit. The dog runs and catches the ball. It brings the ball back to Tom and Mia. They pet the dog and say "good boy!"
+
+They play with the dog for a long time. They shoot the ball and the dog fetches it. They laugh and have fun. They make a new friend. They name the dog Pit. Pit likes his name. He likes Tom and Mia. They like him too. They are happy.
+Jenny and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups and make tea and cake. Jenny found a big mug with a heart on it. She filled it with water and put it in the microwave.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made tea for you!" she said, holding the mug. "It is very hot, be careful!"
+
+Ben smiled and took the mug. He pretended to sip the tea and said, "Thank you, Jenny, you are very generous!"
+
+Jenny felt happy and gave Ben a kiss on the cheek. Ben blushed and said, "You are welcome, Jenny, you are very sweet!"
+
+But then, Tom came into the kitchen. Tom was Jenny's big brother and he was very mean. He saw the mug and said, "Hey, that's my mug! Give it back, you little brats!"
+
+He snatched the mug from Ben and spilled the water on the floor. Jenny and Ben were scared and angry. They shouted, "No, Tom, that's not fair! We were playing nicely!"
+
+Tom laughed and said, "Too bad, losers! This is my mug and you can't have it!"
+
+He ran away with the mug, leaving Jenny and Ben in tears. They hugged each other and said, "Don't worry, we can find another mug. We don't need Tom's mug. We have each other!"

+One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is black and hairy. It barks loud and runs fast. It sees the red ball and wants to play with it. It chases the ball and grabs it with its teeth. It pops the ball and makes a loud noise.
+
+Tom and Sam are very scared. They run to the bike and try to get away. But the dog is faster. It catches up with them and jumps on the bike. It bites the tire and makes another loud noise. It breaks the bike and makes it fall.
+
+Tom and Sam are in shock. They cry and scream. They are pale and hurt. They want their mom and dad. They hope the dog will go away.
+
+A lady hears them and comes to help. She has a leash and a collar. She is the dog's owner. She is sorry and angry. She pulls the dog away and says sorry to Tom and Sam. She gives them some money and a hug. She says she will buy them a new ball and a new bike.
+
+Tom and Sam are still sad and scared. But they are also glad. They thank the lady and go home. They tell their mom and dad what happened. They hug them and feel better. They hope the dog will be nice next time. They still like to play in the park.
+Mia likes to wake up early and play her violin. She loves the sound of the strings and the bow. She thinks it makes her happy and smart. She wants to be a great violinist like her mom.
+
+One morning, she wakes up and sees the sun shining through the window. She jumps out of bed and runs to her violin case. She opens it and takes out her violin. She puts it under her chin and starts to play. She plays a song that her mom taught her. It is a pretty song with high and low notes.
+
+She hears a knock on the door. It is her dad. He opens the door and smiles. He says, "Good morning, Mia. You are playing very well. I am proud of you." He gives her a hug and a kiss. He says, "But you know, it is still very early. Some people are still sleeping. Maybe you can play a little quieter, or wait until later."
+
+Mia nods. She says, "Okay, dad. I am sorry. I just love to play." She lowers her bow and puts her violin back in the case. She says, "Can I play again after breakfast?"
+
+Her dad says, "Of course, you can. But first, let's have some pancakes. I made them for you and mom. They are yummy and warm. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Mia follows her dad. She smells the pancakes and hears them sizzling on the pan. She also hears a distant sound. It is her mom's violin. She is playing the same song that Mia was playing. Mia smiles. She thinks, "Maybe mom heard me and liked my song. Maybe we can play together later. That would be fun." She runs to the kitchen and hugs her mom. She says, "Good morning, mom. I love you and your violin."
+It was a cold night and Tom and Lily were in bed. They heard a loud noise from the roof. They got up and looked out the window. They saw a big man in a red suit and a big bag. He was trying to go down the chimney.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is Santa. He brings toys to good kids," Tom said.
+
+"I want to see him. Let's go downstairs," Lily said.
+
+Tom was nervous. He knew they were not supposed to get out of bed. But he wanted to see Santa too. He dared Lily to go first.
+
+"OK, I will go. But you have to follow me," Lily said.
+
+They put on their slippers and tiptoed down the stairs. They saw the fireplace in the living room. They saw some smoke and dust. They heard a grunt and a thud.
+
+"Santa is stuck in the chimney!" Tom whispered.
+
+They ran to the fireplace and looked up. They saw Santa's boots and his red pants. They saw his bag full of toys.
+
+"Hello, kids. Can you help me?" Santa said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and excited. They grabbed Santa's boots and pulled. Santa slid down the chimney and landed on the floor. He was covered in soot and ash. He smiled and winked at them.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You saved me. You are very brave and kind. Here, take a toy from my bag. But don't tell anyone you saw me. And go back to bed. Merry Christmas!" Santa said.
+
+Tom and Lily took a toy each and hugged Santa. They said thank you and merry Christmas. They ran back upstairs and got into bed. They looked at their toys and smiled. They fell asleep and dreamed of Santa.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to wander in the woods behind their house. They always found new things to see and do, like picking flowers, climbing trees, and making forts. One day, they saw a big hole under a bush. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in and find out," said Ben. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, it might be dangerous," said Lila. She was careful and cautious.
+
+"Come on, don't be scared," said Ben. He crawled into the hole and disappeared.
+
+Lila waited for a while, but Ben did not come back. She started to feel worried and lonely. She called his name, but there was no answer. She decided to follow him into the hole. She hoped he was okay.
+
+She crawled into the hole and saw a tunnel that led to a bright light. She followed the tunnel and came out into a clearing. There, she saw Ben sitting on a log, eating a big slice of cake. He looked happy and surprised.
+
+"Lila, you made it!" he said. "Look what I found! A secret picnic!"
+
+Lila saw a basket full of cake, cookies, fruit, and juice. She smelled the sweet and yummy food. She felt hungry and happy.
+
+"Who left this here?" she asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it's ours now," said Ben. He handed her a slice of cake.
+
+Lila took a bite and made a face. The cake was bitter and yucky. She spit it out and threw it away.
+
+"Yuck, this is not cake, this is soap!" she said.
+
+Ben tasted his cake and made the same face. He spit it out and threw it away.
+
+"Yuck, you're right, this is soap!" he said.
+
+They looked at the basket and saw a note that said: "This is not a picnic, this is a trick. Stay out of my hole, or you'll get more soap. Signed, the grumpy mole."
+
+Lila and Ben felt angry and sad. They had been fooled by a mean and sneaky mole. They decided to leave the clearing and go back to their house.
+
+They crawled out of the hole and ran to their house. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them some real cake and milk. She said they should not wander into strange holes again. She said they should be careful and cautious.
+
+Lila and Ben agreed. They learned their lesson. They ate their cake and milk and felt better. They still liked to wander in the woods, but they never went into the grumpy mole's hole again. They had other secrets to find.

+
+But then, her brother Tom comes. He wants to play a game. He takes Anna's book and pen. He says, "This is my game. I will write on the wall." Anna is angry. She says, "No, Tom. That is my book and pen. You cannot write on the wall. That is dirty and bad."
+
+Tom does not listen. He writes on the wall. He writes his name, his mom's name, and his cat's name. He writes many words and pictures. He is happy.
+
+But then, their mom comes. She sees the wall. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You made the wall dirty. You cannot write on the wall. That is dirty and bad. You have to clean it now."
+
+Tom is sad. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play a game. I wanted to write like Anna." Mom says, "You can write, but not on the wall. You can write on paper or in a book. That is clean and good. And you have to ask Anna before you take her book and pen. That is nice and fair."
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Can I have your book and pen?" Anna says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to share with me. We can write together. That is fun and good."
+

+
+"Hello, horse! Hello, cow!" they say. "Do you want to go for a ride with us?" The horse neighs and the cow moos. Ben and Jen climb on their backs and hold on tight. They start to walk around the farm, following the path.
+
+Jen is having fun on the horse. She likes how fast he goes and how he jumps over the fence. She feels independent and brave. She wants to go further and see more things. She says to Ben, "Let's go to the hill and see the lake!"
+
+Ben is not having fun on the cow. He thinks she is too slow and too boring. He worries that she might get tired or hurt. He wants to go back and see his mom. He says to Jen, "No, let's go home and have a snack!"
+
+Jen and Ben start to argue. They pull on the horse and the cow, trying to make them go their way. The horse and the cow get confused and scared. They stop and shake their heads. They don't like to be pulled.
+
+Ben and Jen hear their mom calling them. She sounds worried and angry. She says, "Ben! Jen! Where are you? Come back right now!" Ben and Jen feel sorry and scared. They say, "Sorry, mom! We're coming!" They pat the horse and the cow and say, "Sorry, horse! Sorry, cow!" They turn around and go back to the barn.
+
+Their mom is waiting for them. She hugs them and says, "I'm glad you're safe, but you were very naughty. You didn't listen to me and you made the horse and the cow unhappy. You have to be more careful and respectful when you play with the animals. They are not toys, they are living beings."
+
+Ben and Jen nod and say, "We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again. We love the horse and the cow. Can we give them a treat?" Their mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to wash your hands and have a snack. You must be hungry after your ride." Ben and Jen agree and follow their mom to the house. They hope the horse and the cow will forgive them and let them ride again another day.

+
+"Oh no!" Tim says. "We broke the tower!"
+
+Lily starts to cry. She is sad and angry. She thinks Tim ruined the tower on purpose. She says, "You are a bad boy! You made the tower snap! Go away!"
+
+Tim feels sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the tower. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not want to snap the tower. I just wanted the red block. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Lily stops crying. She looks at Tim. She sees that he is not a bad boy. He is her friend. She says, "It's okay, Tim. I'm not mad at you. I was just worried. The tower was so pretty. Can we make it again?"

+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make up stories with their toys.
+
+"Look, my doll is going to mail a letter to her friend," Sara said. She took a piece of paper and pretended to write on it. Then she folded it and put it in an envelope.
+
+"Who is her friend?" Ben asked.
+
+"Her friend is a fairy who lives in a flower. She is very pretty and has wings," Sara said.
+
+"Can I see the letter?" Ben asked.
+
+Sara gave him the envelope. Ben opened it and looked at the paper. He saw some scribbles and a drawing of a flower.
+
+"This is not a letter. This is ugly," Ben said. He tore the paper in half.
+
+Sara was angry. She snatched the paper from Ben and tried to put it back together.
+
+"That was not nice. You broke my letter. It was not ugly. It was beautiful," Sara said.
+
+"No, it was not. It was ugly. Look, it is only an inch long. That is too small for a letter," Ben said.
+
+Sara started to cry. She ran to her mom and showed her the paper.
+
+"Mom, Ben broke my letter. He said it was ugly and small. He is mean," Sara said.
+
+Mom hugged Sara and looked at the paper.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. That was not nice of Ben. Your letter was very creative and lovely. I'm sure your fairy friend would love it," Mom said.
+
+She took a tape and fixed the paper. Then she gave it back to Sara.
+
+"Here, you can mail your letter now. Do you want a stamp?" Mom asked.
+
+Sara nodded. She smiled and wiped her tears. Mom gave her a sticker and put it on the envelope.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Sara said.
+
+She ran back to the living room and put the envelope in a box. She pretended it was a mailbox.
+
+"Bye, bye, letter. Have a nice trip to the flower," Sara said.
+
+She looked at Ben and stuck out her tongue.
+
+"My letter is not ugly. It is beautiful. And it is not small. It is just right for a fairy," Sara said.
+
+Ben shrugged. He didn't care. He went back to playing with his car. He liked to make it zoom and crash. He thought that was more fun than writing letters.
+Lily was a daughter who liked to fold paper. She folded paper into shapes like birds, stars, and flowers. She gave them to her mom and dad, who smiled and hugged her.
+
+One day, Lily's mom was very sick. She lay in bed and did not talk much. Lily folded a paper heart and brought it to her mom. She said, "Mom, I love you. This is for you."
+
+Mom took the paper heart and held it to her chest. She said, "Lily, I love you too. You are my sweet daughter. Thank you for the heart." She kissed Lily on the cheek and closed her eyes.
+
+Lily waited for mom to open her eyes again, but she did not. Lily felt scared and sad. She called for dad, who came running. He saw mom and Lily and cried. He said, "Lily, mom is dead. She is not sick anymore, but she is not here with us. She is in heaven."
+
+Lily did not understand what dad meant. She said, "Dad, what is dead? What is heaven? Can mom come back?"
+
+Dad hugged Lily and said, "Dead means mom's body stopped working. She cannot breathe, or talk, or move. Heaven is a place where mom's spirit is happy and peaceful. She can see us and hear us, but we cannot see her or hear her. She cannot come back, but we can remember her and love her always."
+
+Lily felt confused and sad. She said, "Dad, I miss mom. I want to see her and hear her. I want to give her more paper hearts."
+
+Dad said, "I miss mom too, Lily. I want to see her and hear her too. But we can still give her paper hearts. We can fold them and put them in a box. We can write mom's name on the box. We can keep the box in our room. We can look at the box and think of mom. We can talk to mom and tell her how we feel. She will listen and love us from heaven."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, dad. Let's fold paper hearts for mom. Let's make a box for mom. Let's remember mom and love her always."

+Sara did not like the belt. It was brown and hard and made her tummy hurt. Mommy said she had to wear it when they went to the big store. Sara did not want to go to the big store. She wanted to stay home and play with her dolls.
+
+Mommy put the belt on Sara and said, "Let's go, sweetie. We have to buy some things for dinner." Sara sighed. She did not like dinner either. She liked candy and cookies and ice cream. Mommy said those were not good for her. Sara did not care.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the big store. Sara looked out the window and saw the trees and the birds and the flowers. She wished she could run and play with them. She did not like the big store. It was loud and crowded and smelled funny.
+
+They got out of the car and Mommy held Sara's hand. She said, "Stay close to me, okay? Don't wander off." Sara nodded. She did not want to get lost. She was scared of the big store. She saw many people and things and noises. She did not like them.
+
+They walked around the big store and Mommy put things in the cart. Sara did not know what they were. She did not care. She was bored and tired and hungry. She saw a big jar of candy on a shelf. She wanted it. She reached for it. She forgot about the belt.
+
+The belt was too tight. It pulled on Sara's tummy. It made her cry out. Mommy turned around and saw Sara. She saw the candy. She saw the belt. She was angry. She said, "Sara, what are you doing? You know you can't have that. And look what you did to your belt. You broke it. That was a terrible thing to do."
+
+Sara felt bad. She did not mean to break the belt. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted the candy. I don't like the belt. It hurts me."
+
+Mommy sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. She said, "I know, Sara. I know you don't like the belt. But you need it. It helps you stay safe. It helps you grow. It's good for you. Just like dinner. Just like me. I love you, Sara. Do you love me?"
+
+Sara nodded. She loved Mommy. She said, "I love you, Mommy. I'm sorry. Can we go home now?"
+
+Mommy smiled. She hugged Sara. She said, "Yes, we can go home now. Come on, let's go. We'll get you a new belt. And maybe a little candy too. But not too much. Okay?"
+
+Sara smiled. She was happy. She said, "Okay, Mommy. Thank you. You're the best."
+
+They left the big store and got in the car. They drove home. Sara looked out the window and saw the trees and the birds and the flowers. She liked them. She liked Mommy. She liked home. She did not like the belt. But she wore it anyway.

+
+"Look at my tower!" Anna says. "It is very tall and has a red top. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looks at Anna's tower and nods. "It is lovely," he replies. "But I like my house more. It has a blue top and a door and a window. Do you want to see?"
+
+Anna nods and follows Ben to his house. She sees the blue top and the door and the window. She thinks it is nice, but she likes her tower more.

+
+Anna shakes her head. "No, thank you," she replies. "I like my tower more. It is fun and has a red top. Do you want to make it more fun with me?"
+
+Ben and Anna look at each other. They both like their own blocks more. They do not want to play together. They turn away and play with their own blocks. They are not happy. They are sad.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. It is very high and shiny.
+
+Tom wants to go on the slide. He runs to the ladder and climbs up. He sits on the top and looks down. He feels happy and brave.
+
+Lily wants to go on the slide too. But she is scared. She walks to the ladder and stops. She looks up and sees Tom. He smiles and waves. He says, "Come on, Lily. It is fun. I dare you to try."
+
+Lily wants to be brave like Tom. She takes a deep breath and puts her foot on the first step. She feels shaky and nervous. She takes another step and another. She gets closer to the top. She sees Tom waiting for her.

+
+When they got to the big building, they saw many people. Some people were selling popcorn and candy. Some people were giving tickets. Some people were showing seats. Lily and Ben followed their mom and dad to their seats. They were in the front row.
+
+The show was about to start. The lights went down. The curtain went up. Lily and Ben saw a big stage. On the stage, there were many things. There were trees and flowers and animals. There were also people. Some people were wearing funny clothes and hats. Some people were singing and dancing. Some people were playing instruments.
+
+Lily and Ben liked the show. They clapped and laughed and sang along. They saw a monkey hang from a tree. They saw a bird fly over the stage. They saw a princess and a prince fall in love.
+
+But after a while, Ben got restless. He wanted to move and play. He did not want to sit still. He started to wiggle and kick and whine.
+
+"Ben, be quiet," his mom whispered. "The show is not over yet. You have to be polite."
+
+"But I'm bored," Ben said. "I want to go home."
+
+"No, Ben, you have to wait," his dad said. "Lily is enjoying the show. You can play later."
+
+Ben did not listen. He got up from his seat and ran to the stage. He wanted to touch the monkey and the bird and the princess and the prince. He did not see the rope that was holding the curtain. He tripped over the rope and pulled it down. The curtain fell on the stage. The show stopped. The people on the stage and in the seats were shocked. They saw Ben under the curtain.
+
+"Ben!" his mom and dad shouted. They ran to the stage and lifted the curtain. They saw Ben crying. He was scared and sorry. He had ruined the show.
+
+Lily also ran to the stage. She hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I still love you. But next time, you have to be careful."
+
+The people on the stage and in the seats were kind. They did not get angry. They clapped and cheered for Ben and Lily. They said, "It's okay, Ben. You are a brave boy. You made the show more fun. But next time, you have to stay in your seat."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "Thank you. We are sorry. We like the show. Can we see it again?"
+
+The people on the stage and in the seats said, "Yes, you can. Come back tomorrow. We will do the show again. And we will have a special surprise for you."
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They hugged their mom and dad. They said, "Thank you for taking us to the show. We had a lot of fun. We learned a lot. We will be good tomorrow."
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. Mom was a busy woman who cooked a lot of food for the family. Lily wanted to learn how to cook too.
+
+One day, mom was making a cake for dad's birthday. She gave Lily a big bowl and a wooden spoon. "You can mix the flour and the sugar, Lily," she said. "That's the first step to make a cake."
+
+Lily was happy. She poured the flour and the sugar into the bowl. Then she started to mix them with the spoon. She mixed and mixed and mixed. She liked how the white and brown powders became one.
+
+But Lily mixed too hard. She lifted the spoon too high. Some of the flour and sugar flew out of the bowl and landed on the floor, on the table, and on Lily's face. Lily gasped. She looked like a snowman.
+
+Mom saw what happened. She was not angry. She laughed. She took a cloth and wiped Lily's face. "You did a good job, Lily," she said. "But next time, mix a little softer, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled. She hugged mom. "I love you, mom," she said. "And I love cake."
+
+Mom kissed Lily. "I love you too, Lily," she said. "And I love your help."
+Anna liked to swim in the pool. She had a pink swimsuit and a yellow float. She could kick her legs and splash the water. She was happy.
+
+But one day, a big boy came to the pool. He had a blue swimsuit and no float. He could swim very fast and dive very deep. He was not nice.
+
+He swam to Anna and took her float. He said, "This is mine now. You are too small to swim. Go away." He laughed and swam away.
+
+Anna was sad and scared. She wanted her float back. She did not want to go away. She cried.
+
+Her mom heard her voice and came to the pool. She saw the big boy with Anna's float. She was angry.
+
+She said to the big boy, "Give that float back to Anna. That is hers. You are too big to take things from others. That is not nice."
+
+The big boy was surprised and ashamed. He gave the float back to Anna. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can swim with me if you want."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you. I can swim with you, but you have to be nice."
+
+They swam together and played with the float. They were both happy.
+Sam liked to run and play with his dog, Spot. They would chase each other in the park and have fun. One day, Sam saw a big hill and wanted to go up. He ran fast and Spot followed him. But Sam did not see the rock on the ground and he tripped and fell. He hurt his knee and it bled. He cried and Spot licked his face.
+
+Mom came and saw Sam and Spot. She was worried and took Sam to the car. She said they had to go to the doctor. Sam did not want to go. He was scared of the doctor and the needle. He said no and hid his knee. Mom said it was okay and hugged him. She said the doctor would help him and make his knee better. She said he had to be brave and accept the needle. She said she would be with him and give him a treat after.
+
+They went to the doctor and he was nice. He looked at Sam's knee and said it was not bad. He cleaned it and put a bandage on it. He said he had to give Sam a needle to stop the germs. Sam was still scared and cried. Mom held his hand and said it would be quick and not hurt much. Sam closed his eyes and felt a pinch. He opened them and saw the needle was gone. He did it! He accepted the needle and was brave. The doctor smiled and gave him a sticker. Mom was proud and gave him a hug. Spot wagged his tail and licked his face. Sam felt better and said thank you. He was happy and ready to play again.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they have one toy that is unique. It is a big book with many pictures and words. The book is very old and belongs to their mom.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily are bored. They want to play with the book. They ask their mom if they can. Their mom says yes, but they have to be careful. The book is very old and can tear easily. She gives them the book and goes to the kitchen.
+
+Ben and Lily are happy. They open the book and look at the pictures and words. They try to read some words, but they are too hard. They make up their own stories. They have fun.
+
+But then, Ben and Lily start to fight. They both want to turn the page. They pull the book from each other. The book is very old and can tear easily. The book tears in the middle. Ben and Lily are shocked. They stop fighting. They look at the book. They are sad.
+
+They hear their mom coming. They are scared. They try to fix the book. They use tape and glue. But the book is still torn. They know their mom will be angry. They hide the book under the sofa. They hope their mom will not find it. They are sorry.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Tim had a big truck that he could push around and make loud noises. Sam had a small car that he could hook to the truck and follow Tim. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, Tim saw a new toy in the store. It was a shiny helicopter that could fly in the air. He wanted it very much, but he did not have enough money. He asked his mom if he could have it, but she said no. She said he already had many toys and he should be happy with what he had.
+
+Tim was not happy. He was angry and sad. He did not want to play with his truck or his car anymore. He did not want to play with Sam either. He ignored Sam when he asked him to play. He ignored Sam when he said he was sorry. He ignored Sam when he tried to cheer him up.
+
+Sam was sad too. He did not understand why Tim was so mean to him. He missed playing with his brother. He wished Tim would like his toys again. He wished Tim would like him again.
+
+One day, Sam had an idea. He took his car and his hook and went to the store. He saw the helicopter that Tim wanted. He used his hook to grab the helicopter and pull it down. He ran away with it, hoping Tim would be happy.
+
+But he did not see the store owner who saw him. He did not hear the store owner who shouted at him. He did not notice the police who chased him. He only thought of Tim and his smile.
+
+He reached home and knocked on Tim's door. He showed him the helicopter and said, "Look, Tim, I got this for you. I know you wanted it very much. I hope you like it. I hope you play with me again."
+
+Tim was shocked. He saw the helicopter and he saw Sam's face. He saw Sam's face was cheerful, but also scared and guilty. He realized what Sam had done. He realized how much Sam loved him. He realized how wrong he was.
+
+He hugged Sam and said, "Thank you, Sam, but you should not have done that. You should not take things that are not yours. That is bad and wrong. You could get in trouble. You could get hurt. I don't need this helicopter. I need you. You are my brother and my friend. I'm sorry I ignored you. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I love you, Sam."
+
+Sam hugged Tim back and said, "I love you too, Tim. I'm sorry I took the helicopter. I just wanted you to be happy. I just wanted to play with you. Can we play with our truck and our car again?"
+
+Tim nodded and said, "Yes, we can. And we can return the helicopter to the store and say we are sorry. And we can be happy with what we have. And we can be cheerful and kind to each other."
+
+They smiled and went to play with their toys. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that toys are not as important as love. They learned that ignoring someone is not nice. They learned that being cheerful and kind is better than being angry and sad. They learned that they were lucky to have each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and sail in a big barrel. They used sticks for swords and hats for helmets.
+
+One day, a big truck came to their house. It had many boxes and bags on it. The truck driver got out and said, "Hello, kids. I have a delivery for you. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the truck. They wanted to see what was inside the boxes and bags. Maybe there were toys or books or candy. They helped the truck driver carry the boxes and bags to the porch.
+
+When they were done, the truck driver said, "Thank you, kids. You are very helpful. Do you want a reward?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They hoped the reward was something fun.
+
+The truck driver smiled and said, "Well, I have something different for you. How about this?" He pointed to the back of the truck. There was a big barrel with a lid on it.
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They ran to the barrel and opened the lid. Inside, there was a small puppy. It was brown and white and had a red collar. It wagged its tail and licked their faces.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged the puppy. They were so happy. They thanked the truck driver and named the puppy Spot. They decided to make him their pirate captain. They put him in the barrel and sailed away. They had a new friend and a new adventure.
+Lily loved to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and earrings. She wanted to wear them and look pretty. One day, when her mom was busy, Lily sneaked into her room and opened the jewelry box. She took out some of the jewelry and put it on. She felt very happy.
+
+But then, she heard her mom calling her name. She got scared and ran out of the room. She forgot to put the jewelry back. She ran to the living room and hid behind the couch. She hoped her mom would not find out.
+
+Her mom came to the living room and looked for Lily. She saw her brown hair sticking out from behind the couch. She smiled and said, "Lily, where are you? I need your help. Can you come out and help me?"
+
+Lily felt guilty. She knew she did something wrong. She came out from behind the couch and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I played with your jewelry. I didn't put it back. I was naughty."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Lily. I'm not angry with you. I'm glad you are honest. But you should not play with my jewelry without asking me. It is not safe. You could lose it or break it or hurt yourself. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't do it again. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and put the jewelry back. And then, you can help me make some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great, mom. I like to help you. And I like cookies."
+
+They went to the room and put the jewelry back. Then, they went to the kitchen and made some cookies. They had a lot of fun. Lily learned that it is better to be honest and helpful than to be naughty and selfish. She also learned that her mom's love is more precious than any jewelry.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys, but they have one toy they value more than others. It is a soft bear. The bear is brown and has a red scarf. They hug the bear and talk to it.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They bring the bear with them. They play on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They have fun. But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big dog. The dog runs to them and barks. Tom and Mia are scared. They run to their moms.
+
+But they forget the bear. The bear is on the ground. The dog sees the bear and picks it up with its mouth. The dog runs away with the bear. Tom and Mia cry. They want their bear back.
+
+Their moms try to calm them down. They say they will find the dog and get the bear back. They look for the dog. They see it near the exit of the park. The dog is playing with the bear. The bear is dirty and torn. The dog does not value the bear like Tom and Mia do.
+
+The moms call the dog. The dog drops the bear and runs to them. The moms take the bear and give it to Tom and Mia. Tom and Mia are happy. They hug the bear and say sorry. They say they will never leave the bear alone again. They value the bear more than ever. They go home and wash the bear and fix it. The bear is soft and clean again. Tom and Mia sleep with the bear and dream of happy things.
+Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lily wanted to touch the water, but Ben said no.
+
+"It is too cold and wet. You will get sick," Ben said.
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran to the fountain and put her hand in the water. It felt nice and cool. She smiled and splashed the water.
+
+"Look, Ben, it is fun!" Lily said.
+
+Ben was angry. He did not like when Lily did not listen. He ran after her and pinched her arm.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Lily cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben pinching Lily and the fountain water on their clothes.
+
+"Ben, why did you pinch Lily? That is not nice. And Lily, why did you get wet? You will catch a cold," Mom said.
+
+She took them to a bench and dried them with a towel. She gave them a hug and a snack.
+
+"Next time, listen to me and to each other. And be careful with the fountain. It is not a toy," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben said sorry to Mom and to each other. They were quiet for a while. Then they saw some ducks in the pond. They asked Mom if they could feed them some bread. Mom said yes, but only a little bit.
+
+Lily and Ben went to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They forgot about the fountain and the pinch. They were happy again.
+Lila was sad. She had no one to play with. Her big sister was at school. Her mom was busy. Her dad was at work. Her toys were boring. She felt empty inside.
+
+She walked around the house, looking for something fun. She saw a book on the shelf. She tried to read it, but the words were too hard. She saw a ball in the yard. She tried to kick it, but it rolled away. She saw a bird in the sky. She tried to catch it, but it flew too high.
+
+She sat on the steps and frowned. She wished she had a friend.
+
+Then she heard a bark. She looked up and saw a dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It had a collar with a tag. It said "Spot".
+
+"Hi, Spot," Lila said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The dog wagged its tail and ran to her. It licked her face and made her giggle. It chased the ball and brought it back. It jumped and barked and made her happy.
+
+Lila smiled. She had a friend. She felt full inside.
+
+She hugged the dog and said, "Thank you, Spot. You made my day."
+Lily loved balloons. She liked to blow them up and make them big and round. She liked to tie them to her wrist and watch them float in the air. She liked to play with them and bounce them with her hands.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. There was a man who had many balloons. He was selling them to the kids. Lily saw a pink balloon with a heart on it. She wanted it very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+But her mom said no. She said they had enough balloons at home. She said they had to save money for other things. She said Lily could play with the balloons in the park, but she could not take one home.
+
+Lily was very sad. She did not want to play with the other balloons. She only wanted the pink one. She refused to listen to her mom. She refused to share with the other kids. She refused to have fun.
+
+She ran to the man with the balloons. She grabbed the pink one and tried to pull it away. But the man was stronger. He held on to the string. He said the balloon was not hers. He said she had to pay for it or give it back.
+
+Lily cried and screamed. She did not want to give back the balloon. She did not want to pay for it. She did not care what the man said. She did not care what her mom said. She did not care what the other kids said.
+
+She made a big fuss. She made everyone look at her. She made everyone feel bad. She was not proud of herself. She was not a good girl. She was a naughty girl. She did not love balloons. She loved only herself.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They were cherries, sweet and juicy. Ben and Lily wanted to pick some cherries, but they were too high for them to reach.
+
+"Let's get a ladder," Ben said.
+
+"No, let's ask Dad to help us," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the house to find Dad. He was busy fixing the car. He told them to wait a little while. Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted cherries now.
+
+They went back to the garden and looked at the tree. They wondered how they could get some cherries. They saw a big branch that was low enough for them to climb. Ben had an idea.
+
+"Let's climb the branch and get some cherries," he said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+Ben and Lily climbed the branch slowly and carefully. They reached some cherries and picked them. They were happy. They ate some cherries and put some in their pockets.
+
+But they did not see the bird that was sitting on the branch. It was a crow, black and noisy. It did not like Ben and Lily taking its cherries. It flew at them and cawed loudly.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their cherries and fell off the branch. They landed on the soft grass, but they were hurt and dirty. They cried.
+
+Dad heard them and came to the garden. He saw what happened and hugged them. He said he was sorry and he would get them some cherries. He also said they should not climb the tree without him.
+
+Ben and Lily said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They thanked Dad and went to the house to wash up. They still liked cherries, but they did not wonder how to get them anymore. They waited for Dad to help them.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy soldiers and tanks in the backyard. They had made a fort with some boxes and pillows, and pretended to be brave soldiers defending their base. They had a lot of fun making noises and shooting their toy guns.
+
+But then, they heard a loud rumble and saw a big shadow. It was an enormous tank, bigger than their house, coming towards them. It had a long metal nose that could shoot fire and smoke, and big round wheels that could crush anything. Ben and Lily were very scared. They did not have a tank like that.
+
+The enormous tank stopped in front of their fort and made a loud noise. A voice came out of the tank and said, "Surrender, or we will blow up your fort and take your toys. You have no chance against us. We are the strongest and the best."
+
+Ben and Lily did not know what to do. They did not want to lose their fort and their toys, but they also did not want to get hurt by the enormous tank. They looked at each other and decided to be smart. They grabbed their toy guns and ran out of their fort, shouting, "We surrender, we surrender, please don't hurt us."
+
+But as they ran, they also threw their toy guns at the tank's metal nose, hoping to make it stop working. They did not know if it would work, but they tried anyway.
+
+The voice from the tank was surprised and angry. It said, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop that, you little brats. You can't trick us. We will get you."
+
+But then, the tank's metal nose made a strange sound and stopped shooting fire and smoke. It was broken. Ben and Lily had done it. They had stopped the enormous tank.
+
+They cheered and hugged each other. They had saved their fort and their toys. They were brave and smart. They looked at the tank and saw that it was not a real tank, but a big toy tank that their dad had made for them as a surprise. He had been hiding inside the tank and playing with them. He came out of the tank and smiled. He said, "Well done, kids. You have won the game. You are the best soldiers I have ever seen. I am proud of you."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to their dad and hugged him. They thanked him for the surprise and said they loved him. They asked him if they could play with the enormous tank again. He said, "Of course, you can. But first, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after such a big adventure."
+
+They all went inside and had a nice snack. They talked and laughed about their game. They had a lot of fun. They were a happy family.
+Tom and Lily were two birds who lived in a big tree. They liked to fly and sing and play with their friends. One day, they heard a loud noise and felt the ground shake. It was an earthquake!
+
+The earthquake made the tree fall down and broke their nest. Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not know where to go. They flew around and looked for a new home.
+
+They saw a barn with some hay and a hole in the roof. They thought it would be a good place to stay. They flew inside and made a new nest. They were happy and warm.
+
+But then they heard another noise. It was a farmer with a big stick. He did not like birds in his barn. He tried to hit them and chase them away. Tom and Lily were scared and angry. They did not want to leave.
+
+They flew out of the hole and saw a big cloud. It was a storm. It had rain and wind and thunder. They did not like the storm. They wished they had a safe home.
+
+They saw their old tree. It was still on the ground, but it had some branches and leaves. They flew to the tree and found their old nest. It was still there, but it was wet and dirty. They did not care. They were happy and grateful. They had a home.
+
+They learned that sometimes bad things happen, but they can still find good things. They learned to be grateful for what they have and not to be greedy for what they do not have. They learned to be happy and kind.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. They asked their mom for some cookies. But their mom said no. She said cookies were not good for them. She said they had to eat something healthy.
+
+She gave them a plate of celery. Lily and Ben did not like celery. They thought it was bitter and hard. They made faces and said yuck. They asked their mom for something else. But their mom said no. She said celery was good for them. She said it would make them strong and smart.
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to be strong and smart. They wanted to be happy and full. They looked at the celery and sighed. They wondered if they could trade it for something better. They saw their dog, Spot, lying on the floor. They had an idea.
+
+They called Spot and showed him the celery. They asked him if he wanted to eat it. Spot wagged his tail and licked his lips. He loved celery. He thought it was crunchy and tasty. He took the celery from Lily and Ben and ate it all.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They thought they had tricked their mom. They thought they had gotten rid of the celery. They smiled and hugged Spot. They thanked him for eating the celery. They said he was a good dog.
+
+But their mom was not fooled. She had seen what they had done. She was not happy. She thought they had wasted the celery. She thought they had been naughty and sneaky. She scolded them and said they had to eat something else. She said she had a surprise for them.
+
+She went to the kitchen and came back with a bowl. She put it on the table and told them to eat it. Lily and Ben looked at the bowl and gasped. It was full of broccoli. They hated broccoli. They thought it was green and smelly. They said no. They said they did not want to eat it.
+
+But their mom said yes. She said broccoli was even better than celery. She said it would make them stronger and smarter and healthier. She said they had to eat it or they would get no dessert. She said it was their punishment for giving the celery to Spot.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They thought their mom was harsh and mean. They wished they had eaten the celery. They wished they had not given it to Spot. They wished they had some cookies. They looked at the broccoli and cried. They had no choice. They had to eat it.
+Anna loves to perform for her family. She likes to sing, dance and tell jokes. She has a big show today and she wants to look tidy. She puts on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She combs her hair with her brush and ties a ribbon on it.
+
+She goes to the living room where her family is waiting. She sees her mom, dad, brother and grandma. They all clap for her and smile. She feels happy and excited. She says, "Hello, everyone! Welcome to my show! I hope you have fun!"

+
+Her family says, "Yes, yes! Tell us your joke!" She says, "OK, here it is. What do you get when you cross a brush and a banana?" She pauses and looks at them. They think hard and shake their heads. They say, "We don't know. What do you get?"
+
+She says, "You get a banana brush! Ha ha ha!" She shows them a brush with a banana peel on it. She pretends to brush her teeth with it. She says, "Mmm, yummy! Do you like my banana brush?" Her family laughs and claps. They say, "That's a silly joke, Anna! We love your banana brush! You are very funny and clever!"
+
+She says, "Thank you, thank you! That was my joke. Now I have a dance for you. Do you want to see it?" Her family says, "Yes, yes! Show us your dance!" She says, "OK, here it is. Watch me!"

She loves to perform.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to ride fast and lean to the side when they turned. They felt like they were flying.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Tom shouted. "I can lean very far!"
+
+Lily watched Tom as he leaned too much and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and elbow on the rough ground. He cried out loud.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She got off her bike and ran to him.
+
+"It hurts, Lily! It hurts a lot!" Tom sobbed. He held his knee and elbow.
+
+Lily saw blood on Tom's skin. She knew it was an emergency. She remembered what her mom had told her.
+
+"Lily, if you or Tom get hurt, you have to call me right away. I will come and help you. Do you understand?" her mom had said.
+
+Lily nodded. She took out her mom's phone from her backpack. She pressed the green button and waited.
+
+"Hello, Lily. What's wrong?" her mom's voice said.
+
+"Mom, Tom is hurt. He fell off his bike. He is bleeding. Please come, mom. Please!" Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Don't worry. I'm coming. Stay with Tom and keep him calm. You are a good sister, Lily. I love you," her mom said.
+
+Lily hugged Tom and told him that their mom was coming. She tried to make him feel better. She said that he was brave and strong. She said that his bike was not broken. She said that they would get ice cream later.
+
+Tom stopped crying. He smiled a little. He said that he loved Lily and their mom. He said that he liked ice cream. He said that he would be more careful next time. He said that he still liked to lean.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be a princess and a guard. Sara wears a fancy dress and a crown. Tom wears a helmet and a sword.
+
+They go to the garden and find a big rock. Sara says, "This is my castle. You are my guard. You have to protect me from the dragon." Tom says, "OK, princess. I will be brave and strong. Where is the dragon?" Sara points to the shed. "There. He is sleeping. But he might wake up and come to get us."
+
+They sneak to the shed and peek inside. They see a big, furry dog. He is lying on a blanket. He is not a dragon. He is their neighbor's dog, Rex. He is very friendly and likes to play. But Sara and Tom do not know that. They think he is a dragon.
+
+Sara says, "Oh no, look at his teeth and his claws. He is scary. We have to be quiet." Tom says, "Don't worry, princess. I will fight him if he comes out. You stay behind me." They tiptoe away from the shed and back to the rock.
+
+But Rex hears them and wakes up. He sees them and thinks they want to play. He runs out of the shed and barks. Sara and Tom scream and run. They think he is chasing them. They run to the house and slam the door.
+
+Rex stops and wags his tail. He is not angry. He is sad. He wants to play. He lies down on the grass and waits. He hopes they will come back. He is a good dog. He is not a dragon.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big rocks and pretend they were on a mountain. They had a game where they tried to step on every rock without falling.
+
+"Look, I can step on this rock!" Tom said. He jumped from one rock to another. He was very good at balancing.
+
+"I can do that too!" Lila said. She followed Tom and tried to step on the same rocks. But one rock was slippery and she slipped. She fell and hurt her knee. She cried.
+
+"Are you okay, Lila?" Tom asked. He ran to her and helped her up. He saw blood on her knee. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm okay, Tom. It's just a little cut. But it hurts." Lila said. She wiped her tears.
+
+"Here, let me see." Tom said. He took a tissue from his pocket and pressed it on her knee. He was very gentle. "You are very tough, Lila. You didn't cry too much."
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind." Lila said. She smiled. She felt better.
+
+"Let's go to the swings. They are more fun than the rocks." Tom said. He held her hand and they walked to the swings. They swung high and laughed. They forgot about the rocks and the cut. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They wanted ice cream very much.
+
+"Let's go get some ice cream!" Lily said. "Hurry, hurry, before the truck goes away!"
+
+They ran to the truck and waited in line. They had some money in their pockets. They saw many kinds of ice cream. They had to choose one.
+
+"I want chocolate," Tom said. "What do you want, Lily?"
+
+"I want strawberry," Lily said. "With a cone. A high cone."
+
+They gave their money to the man in the truck. He gave them their ice cream. They were very happy. They licked their ice cream and smiled.
+
+But then, a big dog came. He was hungry and he liked ice cream too. He saw Lily's high cone and he wanted it. He jumped and barked and tried to get it.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily said. "This is my ice cream!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He was faster and stronger than Lily. He snatched her high cone and ran away. He ate it all.
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She had no ice cream. Tom tried to share his chocolate with her, but she did not like chocolate. She wanted her strawberry.
+
+The man in the truck saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily. He wanted to give her another ice cream. But he had no more strawberry. He had no more cones. He had no more ice cream at all.
+
+He said, "I'm sorry, little girl. I have no more ice cream. You have to wait for another day."
+
+Lily cried more. She did not want to wait. She wanted her ice cream now. She was very angry at the dog. She was very angry at the man. She was very angry at the world.
+
+She had a bad day.
+Jen and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. But today, the sky was gloomy. It was dark and cold. Jen and Ben felt sad.
+
+"Let's go on the swings," Jen said. "Maybe we will feel better."
+
+"OK," Ben said. They ran to the swings and pushed each other. They tried to smile and laugh, but they still felt gloomy.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw a big blue flash. It was lightning. They were scared.
+
+"Let's go home," Ben said. "It will rain soon."
+
+They got off the swings and ran to the gate. But the gate was locked. They could not get out. They saw a sign that said: "Park closed for repairs. Do not enter."
+
+They were trapped. They started to cry. They hugged each other and hoped someone would come and help them. But no one came. The rain started to fall. It was heavy and cold. Jen and Ben were wet and cold. They were very unhappy. They wished they had stayed home. The end.
+Lily was very happy. She got an invitation from her friend Ben. Ben was having a birthday party at his house. He said there would be cake and games and balloons. Lily liked all those things.
+
+She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes, but she had to be good and polite. Lily said she would. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She also got a gift for Ben. It was a book with funny animals. She hoped he would like it.
+
+She and her mom walked to Ben's house. It was not far. They saw other kids going there too. They all said hello to Lily. She smiled and waved. She was excited to see Ben.
+
+When they got to the door, Ben's mom opened it. She was very nice. She said, "Welcome, Lily! We're so glad you could come. Ben is waiting for you in the living room. Come in, come in!"
+
+Lily and her mom went in. They saw Ben sitting on the couch. He had a big smile on his face. He saw Lily and said, "Hi, Lily! Thank you for coming to my party! And thank you for the gift! What is it?"
+
+Lily gave him the gift and said, "It's a book with funny animals. I like them. Do you?"
+
+Ben opened the gift and looked at the book. He saw a giraffe, a monkey, a zebra, and a lion. He laughed and said, "I like them too! They are so silly and cute! Thank you, Lily! You are a good friend!"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged. They were happy. They went to play with the other kids. They had a lot of fun. They played tag, they ate cake, they sang songs, and they blew out the candles. They also played a game with balloons. They had to twist them and make shapes. Lily made a flower. Ben made a dog. They were very good at twisting balloons. They were rare. Everyone liked their balloons.
+
+Lily and Ben had a great time at the party. They were glad they were friends. They said goodbye and hugged again. Lily and her mom went home. Lily was tired but happy. She had a wonderful day. She hoped Ben did too.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play at the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Lila says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the slide. But there is a line of kids. They have to wait for their turn.
+
+"Look, there are so many kids!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, we have to be humble and wait," Tom says.
+
+"What is humble?" Lila asks.
+
+"Humble is when you are not bossy or mean. You are kind and share," Tom says.
+
+"Oh, I see. I want to be humble," Lila says.
+
+They wait in the line. They are humble and say hello to the other kids. They do not push or shout. Soon, it is their turn to go on the slide.
+
+"Yay, we can go on the slide!" Lila says.
+
+"Yay, let's go!" Tom says.
+
+They climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. They slide down together. They laugh and smile.
+
+"That was fun!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Tom says.
+
+They hug and thank the slide. They are happy and humble. They go to play some more.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in the big house where their grandma lived. They knew there were many rooms and closets to hide in, and they wanted to have fun.
+
+Tom was the seeker, and Lily was the hider. She ran upstairs and looked for a good spot. She saw a big basket full of laundry in the hallway. She thought it would be a good place to hide, so she climbed inside and covered herself with the clothes. She whispered to herself, "Tom will never find me here!"
+
+Tom counted to ten and then started to look for Lily. He searched all the rooms and closets, but he could not find her. He wondered where she was. He thought maybe she was hiding in the basement, where it was dark and scary. He decided to go there and check.
+
+He went down the stairs and opened the door to the basement. He saw a lot of old and dull things, like boxes, tools, and books. He also saw a big machine that made a lot of noise and steam. He did not know what it was, but he thought it looked interesting. He walked towards it and saw a sign that said "Dryer". He opened the door and saw a lot of clothes inside. He thought maybe Lily was hiding in there, so he reached inside and pulled out a shirt.
+
+He was wrong. It was not Lily's shirt. It was grandma's shirt. And it was very hot and burned his hand. He screamed and dropped the shirt. He looked inside the dryer again and saw something that made him scream even louder. It was Lily. She was not hiding. She was trapped. And she was not moving. She was dead.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the saw. The saw is big and yellow and makes a loud noise when they squeeze it. They pretend to cut wood and make things with the saw.
+
+One day, they want to make a house for their teddy bear. They find some boxes and paper and glue and start to work. They use the saw to cut the boxes and paper. They use the glue to stick them together. They are very happy with their house.
+
+But they do not see that they are making a big mess. They leave pieces of boxes and paper and glue all over the floor. They also leave the saw on the sofa. Their mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells them to clean up and put away their toys. She also tells them to be careful with the saw. It is not a toy for little kids. It is a toy for big kids.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They say sorry to their mom and start to clean up. They put the saw in a high place where they cannot reach it. They promise to ask their mom before they play with it again. They finish their house and give it to their teddy bear. They hug their mom and their teddy bear. They are happy again.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash that grew on a vine. The squash was round and yellow and heavy. Lily and Tom wanted to roll the squash down the hill and see how far it would go.
+
+They asked their mom if they could take the squash. Mom said yes, but be careful. She helped them cut the squash from the vine and carry it to the top of the hill. Lily and Tom were very excited. They said to each other, "Ready, set, go!" and pushed the squash with all their strength.
+
+The squash started to roll down the hill. It went faster and faster. It bounced over rocks and sticks. It made a loud noise. Lily and Tom ran after it, laughing and shouting. They wanted to see where it would stop.
+
+But the squash did not stop. It rolled all the way to the bottom of the hill, where there was a fence. The squash hit the fence and broke into pieces. Lily and Tom were surprised and sad. They liked their squash. They wanted to play with it more.
+
+They heard a voice from the other side of the fence. It was Ben, their neighbor. Ben was popular. He had many toys and friends. He said, "Hey, what's that? Is that a squash? Can I have some?" Lily and Tom looked at each other. They smiled. They said, "Sure, Ben. You can have some. Come and join us. We can share the squash and have fun." Ben was happy. He climbed over the fence and joined Lily and Tom. They ate some of the squash and played with the rest. They made a squash ball, a squash hat, and a squash boat. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about their broken squash. They were glad they had a new friend.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toy trains in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sara had a red train and Ben had a blue train. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Mom came in and said, "Time for bed, kids. Put away your toys and brush your teeth."
+
+Sara and Ben did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, Mom. We are not sleepy. We want to play."
+
+Mom said, "You have to go to bed, kids. It is late and you need to rest. You can play again tomorrow."
+
+Sara and Ben tried to resist. They hid behind the couch and said, "You can't find us, Mom. We are invisible."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I can see you, kids. You are not invisible. You are silly. Come on, let's go to bed."
+
+She picked up Sara and Ben and carried them to their bedroom. She tucked them in and gave them a kiss. She said, "Good night, kids. I love you."
+
+Sara and Ben said, "We love you too, Mom. Good night."
+
+But they still did not want to sleep. They whispered to each other and made plans to sneak out and play again.
+
+They waited until Mom left and then they got out of bed. They tiptoed to the door and opened it. They saw a big, ugly monster in the hallway. It had green skin, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. It was making loud noises and blowing steam from its nose.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran back to their bed. They covered themselves with their blankets and said, "Help, Mom. There is a monster in the hall."
+
+Mom heard them and came back. She said, "What's wrong, kids? Why are you screaming?"
+
+Sara and Ben said, "There is a monster in the hall, Mom. It is ugly and scary and it blows steam."
+
+Mom said, "There is no monster in the hall, kids. It is just the heater. It makes noises and steam when it is cold. It is not a monster. It is a machine."
+
+She showed them the heater and explained how it worked. She said, "See, kids. It is not a monster. It is a heater. It keeps us warm and cozy. It is a friend, not a foe."
+
+Sara and Ben felt silly and relieved. They said, "Oh, Mom. We are sorry. We thought it was a monster. We were scared."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, kids. You were just curious and imaginative. But now you know the truth. And you know you are safe and loved."
+
+She hugged them and said, "Now, please go to sleep, kids. You have had enough adventure for one night. You can play again tomorrow."
+
+Sara and Ben said, "Okay, Mom. We will go to sleep. We love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, kids. Sweet dreams."
+
+She turned off the light and left. Sara and Ben snuggled in their bed and closed their eyes. They fell asleep and dreamed of trains and monsters and steam.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they find a big balloon in the park. It is red and shiny. They want to take it home.
+
+"Let's blow the balloon bigger!" Tim says. He puts his mouth on the balloon and blows. The balloon gets bigger and bigger.
+
+"No, stop!" Kim says. She is scared. "The balloon will pop! It has too much gas inside!"
+
+Tim does not listen. He likes to blow the balloon. He urges Kim to blow with him. "It will be fun!" he says. He blows harder and harder.
+
+Kim does not want to blow. She pulls the balloon away from Tim. "It is mine!" she says. She hugs the balloon.
+
+Tim is angry. He wants the balloon too. He tries to grab the balloon from Kim. They tug and pull. The balloon makes a loud noise. It pops!
+
+Tim and Kim are sad. They cry. The balloon is gone. They have no gas to play with.
+
+Mom comes to the park. She sees Tim and Kim crying. She asks them what is wrong. They tell her about the balloon.
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Balloons are not for blowing too big. They are for holding and looking at. They are pretty, but they are not strong."
+
+She takes them to the ice cream truck. She buys them ice cream cones. They are yummy. Tim and Kim lick their ice cream. They smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+Mom smiles too. She says, "I love you too, my sweeties. Next time, be careful with balloons. And share your toys. Sharing is caring."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about shapes and colors. Lily is good at shapes and colors. Ben is not so good.
+
+Before the quiz, Lily says to Ben, "I will help you. I will fold my paper and show you the answers. Then you can copy me. We will both get good marks."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a kind friend. I will fold my paper too."
+
+The quiz starts. Lily and Ben fold their papers and look at each other. They write the same answers. They think they are smart.
+
+But the teacher sees them. She is angry. She says, "Lily and Ben, you are cheating. You are not humble. You are not honest. You are not learning. You will get zero marks. And you will stay in the classroom after school."
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We made a mistake. We will not cheat again. We will try to learn."
+
+But the teacher does not listen. She says, "You will stay here and do more quizzes. And you will not play with each other. You are not friends. You are bad."
+
+Lily and Ben cry. They wish they did not cheat. They wish they were humble. They wish they were good. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a tall rabbit in the grass. The rabbit has brown fur and long ears.
+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Lily says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"Maybe," Ben says. "But we have to be quiet and slow."
+
+They walk to the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and hops away.
+
+"Wait, rabbit!" Lily calls. "We just want to say hello!"
+
+The rabbit stops and looks at them. It has a mark on its nose. The mark is red and round.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asks. "Did you hurt your nose, rabbit?"
+
+The rabbit shakes its head. It makes a sound like a snort.
+
+"No, this is not a hurt," the rabbit says. "This is a sticker. I found it in the trash. I like stickers. They are pretty and shiny."
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Lily says. "That is amazing!"
+
+"Yes, I can talk," the rabbit says. "But only to nice children like you. Do you want a sticker too?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The rabbit gives them each a sticker. Lily gets a blue star and Ben gets a yellow sun.
+
+"Thank you, rabbit!" they say. "You are very kind and smart!"
+
+"You are welcome, children," the rabbit says. "You are very sweet and friendly. But I have to go now. My family is waiting for me. Goodbye!"
+
+"Goodbye, rabbit!" they say. "Come back soon!"
+
+The rabbit hops away. Lily and Ben smile. They stick their stickers on their shirts. They are happy. They have a new friend. A tall rabbit with a mark on its nose.
+Mia liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Olive. Olive had a green dress and a big smile. Mia took Olive everywhere she went.
+
+One day, Mia wanted to dress up Olive in a new outfit. She found a pink skirt and a purple shirt in her closet. She tried to put them on Olive, but they were too small. They did not fit. Mia was sad. She wanted Olive to look pretty.
+
+She looked for another outfit for Olive. She saw a yellow dress and a blue hat. She tried to put them on Olive, but they were too big. They did not fit. Mia was mad. She wanted Olive to look nice.
+
+She threw the yellow dress and the blue hat on the floor. She hugged Olive and cried. She felt lonely. She wished she had a friend who could help her.
+
+Then, she heard a knock on the door. It was her neighbor, Leo. Leo was three years old, like Mia. He had a toy car in his hand. He smiled and said, "Hi, Mia. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Mia wiped her tears and nodded. She grabbed Olive and said, "Yes, Leo. I want to play with you. This is Olive. She is my doll. Do you have a doll?"
+
+Leo shook his head and said, "No, Mia. I don't have a doll. But I have a car. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Mia smiled and said, "Yes, Leo. I want to see your car. Maybe Olive can ride in it."
+
+Leo and Mia went to the living room. They put Olive in the car and pushed it around. They laughed and had fun. Mia was happy. She did not feel lonely anymore. She had a friend who liked her and Olive.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Tom wanted to go to the big hill. He said, "Come on, Mia, let's climb the hill. It's fun and we can see far."
+
+Mia was not sure. She said, "But the hill is steep and high. What if we fall? And Mom said to stay near the swings."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be scared, Mia. It's easy. I'll go first and show you." He ran to the hill and started to climb. Mia followed him, but she was worried.
+
+Tom reached the top of the hill and shouted, "Look, Mia, I did it! I can see the whole park and the sky and the birds. Come on, it's beautiful."
+
+Mia was almost at the top, but she was tired and scared. She said, "Tom, I want to go back. I don't like it here. It's too high and windy."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be silly, Mia. It's not that high. Just take one more step and you'll be here. Trust me, it's worth it."
+
+Mia took one more step, but she stumbled. She lost her balance and fell. She hit her head on a rock and started to cry. Tom saw her and screamed. He ran to her and tried to help her, but she was bleeding and hurt. He was sorry and scared.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the hill. She saw Tom and Mia and gasped. She ran to them and called for help. She hugged Mia and said, "Oh, Mia, what happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Mia said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I followed Tom to the hill. He said it was fun, but I stumbled and fell. It hurts, Mom. It hurts a lot."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Mia. It's not your fault. You're brave and good. We'll get you to the hospital and they'll fix you up. Don't worry, sweetie. I love you."
+
+But Mia was not okay. She had a big bump on her head and a crack in her skull. She had to stay in the hospital for a long time and have surgery. She was in pain and scared. She couldn't play or laugh or smile. She missed Tom and Mom and the park. She wished she never went to the hill. She wished she listened to Mom and stayed near the swings. She wished she could go back to the way things were. But she couldn't. She was sad and angry and hurt. And so was Tom. And so was Mom. And they all cried. The end.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond and made it sail on the water. They pretended they were pirates and explorers.
+
+One day, they saw something shiny in the water. It was an egg. A big, round, blue egg. They wondered what was inside. Maybe a bird, or a fish, or a dragon.
+
+"Let's take it home and see," said Ben.
+
+"No, we should leave it alone," said Lily. "It belongs to someone. Maybe its mom is looking for it."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He reached for the egg and put it in his boat. He said it was his treasure. Lily was sad and scared.
+
+They started to sail back to the shore. But then, they heard a loud splash. A big, green, scaly creature came out of the water. It had wings, a tail, and sharp teeth. It was a dragon. And it was angry.
+
+"Give me back my egg!" it roared.
+
+Ben and Lily were very afraid. They realized they had made a mistake. They quickly gave the egg back to the dragon. The dragon took it and flew away.
+
+Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs. They learned that some things are more interesting than others, but that does not mean they can have them. They learned to respect other creatures and their homes. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They decided to play with their boat in a different pond.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. They like to play and talk before they sleep. But sometimes they fight.
+
+One night, Anna wants to dream about fairies and flowers. She tells Ben to dream the same. But Ben wants to dream about cars and rockets. He tells Anna to dream the same. They argue and shout.
+
+"Fairies are better!" Anna says.
+
+"No, cars are better!" Ben says.
+
+They are so loud that Mom comes in. She is not happy. She tells them to be quiet and go to sleep. She turns off the light and leaves.
+
+Anna and Ben are still angry. They turn away from each other and hug their pillows. They try to sleep, but they can't. They miss each other.
+
+They look at the wall. The wall has stickers of fairies and cars. They remember how they put them there together. They remember how they helped each other and had fun.
+
+They feel sorry. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Anna, I'm sorry. You can dream about fairies. I don't mind." Ben says.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry. You can dream about cars. I don't mind." Anna says.
+
+They smile and hug. They are happy again. They are reliable. They are twins.
+
+They close their eyes and dream. They dream about fairies and cars. They dream together.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They loved to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing was the fountain, where they could splash water and make rainbows.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench near the fountain. He had curly hair and big glasses. He looked shy and sad. Lily and Sam wanted to say hello, but they did not know how.
+
+"Let's go and splash him!" Sam whispered to Lily. "Maybe he will laugh and join us."
+
+Lily nodded and they ran to the fountain. They filled their hands with water and threw it at the boy. But the boy did not laugh. He cried and ran away.
+
+Lily and Sam felt bad. They did not mean to scare him. They followed him and found him hiding behind a tree.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" they said. "We just wanted to play with you. What is your name?"
+
+The boy peeked from behind the tree. He wiped his tears and said, "I'm Ben. I'm new here. I don't have any friends."
+
+Lily and Sam smiled and held out their hands. "We can be your friends!" they said. "Come and play with us. The fountain is fun. And the view is pretty. You can see the birds and the flowers and the sky."
+
+Ben smiled back and took their hands. He was shy, but he was also curious. He followed them to the fountain and splashed water with them. He laughed and made rainbows. He was happy. He had made new friends.
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail at them.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Mia asked Leo.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Leo said.
+
+They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He smiled and nodded at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. This is Rocky. He likes to be petted, but be gentle. He has a little itch on his back," the man said.
+
+Mia and Leo walked slowly to the dog. They reached out their hands and touched his fur. Rocky licked their faces and made a happy sound.
+
+"He is so soft and warm," Mia said.
+
+"He is different from our cat. He is bigger and louder," Leo said.
+
+They scratched Rocky's back and felt a bump.
+
+"What is this?" Mia asked.
+
+"That is his itch. He has a flea. It is a tiny bug that bites him and makes him scratch. I have to give him some medicine to make it go away," the man said.
+
+"Does it hurt?" Leo asked.
+
+"A little bit. But Rocky is brave. He trusts me to help him. And he trusts you to be his friends," the man said.
+
+Mia and Leo hugged Rocky and said goodbye. They thanked the man and ran back to their toys. They learned a new word: trust. They also learned that different animals can be nice and fun. They hoped to see Rocky again soon.
+Tom likes to learn new things. He likes to watch his dad work on cars. His dad is a mechanic. He fixes cars that are broken or old.
+
+One day, Tom sees a car that is very different from the others. It is shiny and sleek. It has a big screen and many buttons. It makes a soft sound when it moves. Tom is curious. He asks his dad, "What is that car, dad?"
+
+His dad smiles and says, "That is a modern car, Tom. It is a car that uses electricity, not gas. It is very smart and fast. It can talk to you and help you drive."
+
+Tom is amazed. He wants to learn more about the modern car. He says, "Can I see inside, dad? Can I touch the buttons? Can I hear it talk?"
+
+His dad nods and says, "Sure, Tom. But be careful. Don't break anything. And listen to me when I tell you how it works."
+
+Tom follows his dad to the modern car. He sits in the front seat and looks around. He sees the big screen and the buttons. He hears a voice say, "Hello, Tom. I am the car. Do you want to go for a ride?"
+
+Tom is excited. He says, "Yes, please. I want to go for a ride. I want to learn more about you."
+
+The car says, "Okay, Tom. But first, you have to buckle your seat belt. Safety first."
+
+Tom does what the car says. He buckles his seat belt. He feels the car move. He sees the road and the trees. He hears his dad and the car talk. He learns many things about the modern car. He has fun. He thinks, "I like to learn new things. Maybe I can be a mechanic like dad when I grow up."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the swamp. They liked to splash in the water, look for frogs and bugs, and make mud pies. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, they found a big stick in the swamp. Lily wanted to use it as a sword, and Ben wanted to use it as a fishing rod. They both grabbed the stick and tried to pull it away from each other.
+
+"Let go, it's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben shouted back.
+
+They began to quarrel and tug at the stick. They were so angry that they did not see the swamp monster coming out of the water. The swamp monster was big and green and had long teeth and claws. It roared and stomped towards them.
+
+Lily and Ben heard the noise and looked up. They saw the swamp monster and got very scared. They dropped the stick and ran away as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached the edge of the swamp.
+
+They looked at each other and hugged. They were glad that they were safe and that they had each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have shared the stick with you," Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I should have let you have a turn," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and said they were still friends. They decided to go back to the swamp and look for another stick. But this time, they would be careful and friendly. They did not want to quarrel or meet the swamp monster again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. The bird has black and white wings. It flies very high and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Anna says. "It is so big and fast. I wish I had wings like that."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "Then we could fly to distant places and see new things. Where do you think the bird is going?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it is going to its home. Or maybe it is looking for food. Or maybe it is just having fun."
+
+They watch the bird until it is a small dot in the sky. Then they hear a voice behind them.
+
+"Hello, children. Do you like the bird?" The voice belongs to a man. He has a hat and a coat. He smiles at them.
+
+"Yes, we like the bird," Anna says. "It is very beautiful. Do you know what kind of bird it is?"
+
+The man nods. "Yes, I do. It is a seagull. It lives near the sea. Sometimes it comes to the city to find food. It is very smart and brave."
+
+"Wow, a seagull," Ben says. "That is a cool name. Do you own the seagull?"
+
+The man laughs. "No, I don't own the seagull. Nobody owns the seagull. The seagull is free. It can go wherever it wants. It belongs to the sky."
+
+Anna and Ben think about that. They like the idea of being free and belonging to the sky. They look at the man and say, "Thank you for telling us about the seagull. You are very nice."
+
+The man smiles again. "You are very welcome. You are very curious and polite. I hope you have a good day."
+
+He waves at them and walks away. Anna and Ben wave back. Then they run to the swings and pretend they are flying like the seagull. They have a lot of fun.
+Tim and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and hats and gloves. It was cold outside. Mom helped them zip their coats.
+
+"Zip, zip, zip!" Tim said. He liked the sound of the zipper.
+
+"Me too, zip, zip, zip!" Lily said. She copied her brother.
+
+They went outside and walked to the park. They saw some dogs and birds and squirrels. They said hello to them.
+
+"Hello, dog! Hello, bird! Hello, squirrel!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+One dog came close to them. He was big and brown and smelly. He sniffed Tim and Lily. He licked their faces.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Tim and Lily said. They did not like the smelly dog.
+
+"Go away, dog! Go away!" Mom said. She shooed the dog away.
+
+"Are you OK, Tim and Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are OK. But the dog was smelly!" Tim and Lily said.
+
+They wiped their faces with their gloves. They laughed.
+
+They went to the park and played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had fun. They forgot about the smelly dog.
+Tommy likes to take pictures with his camera. He has a big camera that his dad gave him. He likes to go outside and take pictures of birds, flowers, and bugs. Sometimes he shows his pictures to his mom and dad and they say, "Wow, Tommy, you are a good photographer!"
+
+One day, Tommy sees a big red truck outside his house. It is a fire truck. It has a loud siren and a long ladder. Tommy thinks it is very cool and very noisy. He runs to get his camera and snaps a picture of the fire truck. He wants to show it to his mom and dad.
+
+But when he looks at his camera, he sees that the picture is blurry. He can't see the fire truck very well. He feels sad and angry. He thinks his camera is broken. He throws his camera on the ground and starts to cry.
+
+"Hey, what's wrong, buddy?" a voice says. Tommy looks up and sees a fireman. He is wearing a yellow helmet and a black coat. He has a friendly smile. He picks up Tommy's camera and dusts it off.
+
+"I'm sorry, I can't take good pictures," Tommy says. "My camera is bad."
+
+The fireman shakes his head. "No, no, your camera is fine. You just need to hold it steady and wait for the right moment. Taking pictures is not easy. It takes practice and patience. But you can do it. I can help you. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Tommy nods. He wipes his tears and takes his camera from the fireman. The fireman encourages him to stand still and focus on the fire truck. He tells him to press the button when the fire truck is not moving and the sun is shining. Tommy does what the fireman says and takes another picture.
+
+"Good job, Tommy!" the fireman says. "Let's see how it turned out." He looks at the camera and shows Tommy the picture. It is clear and bright. Tommy can see the fire truck and the fireman very well. He feels happy and proud. He smiles and says, "Thank you, fireman. You are a good teacher!"
+
+The fireman hugs Tommy and says, "You're welcome, Tommy. You are a good student. And a good photographer. Keep taking pictures and you will get better and better. Maybe one day you can be a fireman and a photographer. How about that?"
+
+Tommy thinks that would be awesome. He says, "Yes, please. That would be fun. Can I take a picture of you and me?"
+
+The fireman laughs and says, "Sure, why not? Let's do it." He holds Tommy's camera and puts his arm around Tommy. He says, "Say cheese!"
+
+Tommy says, "Cheese!" and smiles. The camera flashes and takes a picture of them. Tommy thinks it is the best picture ever. He can't wait to show it to his mom and dad. He thinks they will say, "Wow, Tommy, you are a good photographer and a good friend!"
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Lila said.
+
+"Yes, he is. Do you think he likes the snow?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course he does. He is made of snow!" Lila said.
+
+They heard a jingle in the sky. They looked up and saw a sleigh with a man in a red suit. He had a long beard and a big bag. Behind him, there were eight reindeer with horns and bells.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "It's Santa and his reindeer!"
+
+"Hi, Santa!" Lila shouted. "Can we talk to you?"
+
+Santa smiled and waved. He landed his sleigh near the snowman. He got out and walked towards the children.
+
+"Hello, Lila and Ben. You have been very good this year. I have some presents for you in my bag. Do you want to see them?" Santa said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+Santa opened his bag and gave them each a wrapped box. Lila and Ben thanked him and opened their boxes. Lila got a doll with a pink dress and Ben got a truck with big wheels.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Santa! These are the best presents ever!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, my dear children. I'm glad you like them. And I like your snowman. He is very well made. Can I mention something?" Santa said.
+
+"What is it, Santa?" Lila and Ben asked.
+
+Santa pointed to one of his reindeer. He had a shiny red nose that glowed in the dark.
+
+"This is Rudolph, my rare reindeer. He has a special nose that helps me see in the night. He is very brave and smart. Do you want to pet him?" Santa said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+They walked towards Rudolph and gently stroked his fur. Rudolph nuzzled them and made a soft sound.
+
+"He likes you. You are very kind. Do you want to take a picture with him?" Santa said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+Santa took out his phone and snapped a picture of them with Rudolph. He showed them the picture and smiled.
+
+"Look, you look so happy. This is a memory you will always have. I will send you the picture by email. Do you know your email?" Santa said.
+
+Lila and Ben shook their heads. They did not know what email was.
+
+"That's okay. I will ask your parents later. They will help you see the picture. Now, I have to go. I have many other children to visit. But I will see you again next year. Merry Christmas, Lila and Ben!" Santa said.
+
+"Merry Christmas, Santa! Thank you for everything!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+They hugged Santa and waved goodbye. Santa got back on his sleigh and flew away with his reindeer. Lila and Ben watched him until he disappeared in the sky.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They had just met Santa and his rare reindeer. They felt very lucky and happy. They decided to go inside and show their parents their presents and tell them their story. They knew their parents would be proud of them and happy for them. They also knew they would never forget this day. It was the best day ever.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and have fun. Today, they want to paint a picture for their moms. They have paper, brushes and paint.
+
+"What do you want to paint, Ben?" Lily asks.
+
+"I want to paint a car. A big, red car. Vroom, vroom!" Ben says.
+
+"I want to paint a flower. A yellow flower. It is bright and pretty," Lily says.
+
+They start to paint. They use blue for the sky, green for the grass and brown for the road. They paint their car and their flower. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a car for my mom. She likes cars. She drives me to school," Ben says.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a flower for my mom. She likes flowers. She grows them in the garden," Lily says.
+
+They smile at each other. They write their names on the paper. They write "I love you, Mom" on the paper. They are proud.
+
+They give their picture to their moms. Their moms hug them and kiss them. They say "Thank you, Lily and Ben. We love your picture. We love you."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They love their moms. They love to paint. They are friends.
+Anna loves strawberries. They are red and sweet and juicy. She likes to pick them from the garden with Mommy. Mommy says strawberries are good for her. They make her strong and happy.
+
+One day, Anna sees a big strawberry on a plant. It is the biggest strawberry she ever saw. She wants to eat it. She hopes Mommy will let her. She runs to Mommy and shows her the strawberry. Mommy smiles and says yes. Anna is very happy.
+
+She picks the strawberry and washes it with water. She takes a big bite. It is so sweet and yummy. She makes a happy sound. Mommy laughs and hugs her. She says she loves her. Anna loves Mommy too. She shares the strawberry with Mommy. They both enjoy it. It is the best strawberry ever.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for dinner. They asked their mom to make spaghetti for them.
+
+Mom said, "Okay, I will make spaghetti for you. But you have to help me. Can you sign what you want to put in the spaghetti sauce?"
+
+Anna and Ben knew some signs. They learned them from their friend Sam, who could not talk with his mouth. They liked to sign with Sam.
+
+Anna signed, "I want cheese and tomato and carrot in the sauce." Ben signed, "I want meat and mushroom and onion in the sauce."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That sounds good. Let's go to the kitchen and make the sauce together."
+
+They went to the kitchen and mom gave them a big pot. She helped them cut the cheese, the tomato, the carrot, the meat, the mushroom and the onion. They put them in the pot with some water and salt. They stirred the sauce with a big spoon.
+
+Then mom boiled some water in another pot. She put some spaghetti in the water and waited for it to be soft. She drained the water and put the spaghetti on a big plate.
+
+She poured the sauce over the spaghetti and said, "Dinner is ready. Come and eat, Anna and Ben."
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the table and took some spaghetti on their plates. They smelled the sauce and made a face. It was disgusting!
+
+They said, "Yuck! This sauce is not good. It has too many things in it. We don't like it."
+
+Mom was surprised and said, "But you signed what you wanted to put in the sauce. You helped me make it. Why don't you like it?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "We signed what we liked, but not together. We like cheese and tomato and carrot, but not with meat and mushroom and onion. We like meat and mushroom and onion, but not with cheese and tomato and carrot. The sauce is too mixed up. We want simple sauce."
+
+Mom said, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to try something new. Next time, we can make two sauces. One for you, Anna, and one for you, Ben. Or we can make plain sauce with just tomato and salt. Would you like that?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds better. Can we have some plain sauce now?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure. I have some in the fridge. I will heat it up for you. You can eat some bread and salad while you wait."
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. And we love spaghetti. But not with disgusting sauce."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They liked to dig and make castles and roads. Sara found a shiny stone in the sand. She showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a treasure!" Sara said.
+
+"Wow, Sara, it is very pretty. Can I see?" Ben asked.
+
+Sara gave the stone to Ben. He looked at it and smiled. He liked the treasure too.
+
+"Can we share the treasure, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+Sara nodded. She was happy to share with Ben. They were good friends.
+
+They decided to make a small box for the treasure. They used some sticks and leaves and sand. They put the treasure inside the box and buried it in the sand.
+
+"Let's remove the treasure tomorrow and play with it again," Sara said.
+
+"OK, Sara, that sounds fun. But we have to remember where we put it," Ben said.
+
+They made a big X with sticks on the sand. They hoped no one would find their treasure. They hugged and went home. They were excited for tomorrow.
+Lily and Tom love to ride their bikes. They ride fast and slow, up and down, around and around. They have fun in the sun.
+

+
+"Wow, look at the flowers!" Lily says. "They are so pretty and colorful. Can I pick one?"
+
+"Be careful, Lily," Tom says. "The bees might sting you. They like the flowers too."
+
+Lily does not listen to Tom. She reaches for a flower. But a bee flies out of the bush and buzzes near her face. Lily gets scared and lets go of her bike. Her bike falls into the bush.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily cries. "My bike is stuck in the bush. And the bee is angry. Help me, Tom!"

+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird with red and blue wings. The bird is flying very fast and making loud noises.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily says. "It has pretty wings. I want to fly like that."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But we don't have wings. How can we fly?"
+
+They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. They run to the swings and sit on them. They push with their feet and swing higher and higher.
+
+"We are flying!" Lily shouts. "We are like the bird!"
+
+The bird sees them and flies closer. It is curious. It lands on a branch near the swings. It tilts its head and says, "Squawk! Squawk!"
+
+"Hello, bird!" Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bird nods and says, "Squawk! Squawk!" It flies off the branch and joins them on the swings. It swings with its wings and makes more noises.
+
+They have fun together. They swing and fly and laugh. They are not afraid of the bird. The bird is not afraid of them. They are friends.
+
+The other people in the park watch them. They think they are crazy. But Lily and Ben don't care. They are happy. They are flying.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there is a machine with a red button and a black cord. The machine can record sounds.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"I think it is a recorder. My dad has one. He uses it to talk to people far away," Sue says.
+
+"Can we use it?" Tom wonders.
+
+"Let's try. Maybe we can make a story with it," Sue suggests.
+
+They plug the cord into the wall and press the red button. The machine makes a beep sound.
+
+"Hello, hello, this is Tom and Sue. We are going to tell you a story about a land that is very cold. It has snow and ice and penguins and polar bears. Are you ready? Here we go," Tom says into the machine.
+
+Sue makes a sound like a penguin. "Waddle, waddle, I am a penguin. I live in the cold land with my friends. We like to swim and slide and eat fish. But we have to be careful of the polar bears. They are big and hungry and scary," she says.
+
+Tom makes a sound like a polar bear. "Roar, roar, I am a polar bear. I live in the cold land with my family. We like to hunt and sleep and play. But we have to be careful of the humans. They are small and noisy and dangerous," he says.
+
+They take turns making sounds and telling stories about the cold land. They have fun and laugh a lot. The machine records everything they say.
+
+When they are done, they press the red button again. The machine makes another beep sound.
+
+"Wow, that was fun. We made a great story," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we did. Let's listen to it," Sue says.
+
+They press another button on the machine. The machine plays back their voices and sounds. They hear their story about the cold land. They smile and clap.
+
+"That was awesome. We are good storytellers," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we are. Maybe we can make more stories with the recorder. What do you think?" Sue says.
+
+"I think that is a good idea. Let's do it," Tom says.
+
+They hug and start to think of another story to record. They are happy and proud. The end.
+Mia likes to play the flute. She has a rare flute that her grandma gave her. It is blue and shiny and makes pretty sounds. Mia plays the flute every day and makes up songs.
+
+One day, Mia gets a letter in the mail. It is from her cousin Leo, who lives far away. Leo says he wants to hear Mia play the flute. He says he likes music too, but he does not have a flute. He has a drum.
+
+Mia thinks of an idea. She asks her mom if she can send her flute to Leo. She says she wants to share her flute with him, and maybe he can send her his drum. Her mom says that is very kind of Mia, but she warns her that sending a flute is not easy. She says the flute might get lost or broken on the way.
+
+Mia says she does not mind. She says she loves Leo and she wants him to be happy. She says she can make music with other things, like spoons or bells. Her mom smiles and hugs Mia. She says she is very proud of Mia. She helps Mia pack her flute in a big box with lots of bubble wrap. She writes Leo's address on the box and takes it to the post office.
+
+A few weeks later, Mia gets another letter from Leo. He says he got the flute and he loves it. He says he plays it every day and makes up songs.

Mia is very happy. She runs to her mom and shows her the letter. She says she can't wait to get the drum and play with Leo. She says she is glad she sent him her flute. She says music is better when you share it.
+One day, a little boy named Tom was playing in the garden. He saw a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. He wanted to see what was inside, so he took a stick and poked the hill.
+
+"Ouch!" he heard a tiny voice say. He looked closer and saw a small ant with a hurt leg. The ant was suffering from the stick. Tom felt sorry for the ant and said, "I'm sorry, ant. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?"
+
+The ant was miserable and angry. He said, "No, I'm not okay. You broke my home and my leg. You are a bad boy. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+Tom was sad and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, ant. I won't do it again. Please don't be mad at me. Can I help you?"
+
+The ant was still miserable and angry. He said, "No, you can't help me. You can only hurt me. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+Tom ran away from the hill, crying. He went to his mom and told her what happened. His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. Next time, be gentle and respectful to the ants. They are living creatures, too. They have feelings and homes, just like you."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry, ant. I hope you feel better soon." He went back to the garden and watched the ants from a distance. He saw them working together to fix their hill and take care of their friend. He smiled and said, "Wow, ants are amazing. I want to be their friend, not their enemy."
+Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She was very proud of her neat room.
+
+One day, she found a new toy in her closet. It was a shiny mirror. Sara liked to look at herself in the mirror. She made funny faces and smiled. She wanted to keep the mirror with her all the time.
+
+She took the mirror to the living room, where her brother Tom was playing with his blocks. She put the mirror on the floor and looked at it. Tom saw the mirror and wanted to play with it too. He reached for the mirror, but Sara said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+Tom was sad. He said, "Please, can I have a turn?" Sara said, "No, go away!" She pushed Tom and he fell down. He started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom crying and Sara holding the mirror. She asked, "What happened?" Tom said, "Sara won't share the mirror. She pushed me and it hurt."
+
+Mom was angry. She said, "Sara, that was not nice. You have to share your toys with your brother. He is your friend. How would you feel if he did that to you?" Sara said, "I don't care. I like the mirror more than him."
+
+Mom said, "That is very selfish. The mirror is not more important than your brother. Look at the mirror again. What do you see?" Sara looked at the mirror and saw her face. She saw her angry eyes and her frowning mouth. She did not like what she saw.
+
+Mom said, "The mirror shows you how you are inside. If you are mean and greedy, you will look ugly. If you are kind and generous, you will look beautiful. Which one do you want to be?" Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I want to be beautiful."
+
+Mom said, "Then you have to change your attitude. You have to apologize to Tom and share the mirror with him. You have to be a good sister and a good friend. That is the way to be beautiful." Sara said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Tom. Can we play with the mirror together?" Tom said, "Yes, of course. I forgive you." He hugged Sara and they smiled.
+
+Mom said, "That's better. Now you look happy and lovely. The mirror shows you the truth. Remember, beauty is not only on the outside, but also on the inside. That is the moral of this story." Sara and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They played with the mirror and their other toys. They organized them in their boxes and shelves. They were good siblings and good friends. They were beautiful.
+Amy loves to draw with her crayons. She likes to make pictures of flowers, animals and her family. She has a big book of white paper to draw on. She draws every day after lunch.
+
+One day, she wants to draw a picture of her daddy. She looks for a brown crayon, because her daddy has brown hair. But she cannot find it. She looks in her box of crayons, but it is not there. She looks under the table, but it is not there. She looks behind the sofa, but it is not there.

+
+Tommy looks at her and says, "I don't have your brown crayon. Go away!"
+
+Amy does not believe him. She grabs his book of cars and tries to take it. Tommy holds on to his book and says, "No! This is my book! Leave me alone!"

He reached the top of the slide. He looked down and gasped. He saw how high and steep the slide was. He felt his eye widen with fear.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asked. She sat next to him on the slide. She held his hand. She smiled.
+
+Ben nodded. He tried to smile. He squeezed Lily's hand. He closed his eye. He pushed himself. He slid down with Lily. He felt the wind in his face and the sun on his back. He heard Lily laugh.

+
+Jen and Sam were very sad. They ran to the stranger and said, "Stop! Stop! You are bad! You broke our snowman! We worked hard to make him!" They tried to push the stranger away.
+
+But the stranger was stronger. He laughed and said, "Go away, you little brats! You can't tell me what to do!" He pinched Jen and Sam hard. They cried out in pain. They felt icy cold and scared.
+

+After that, Timmy played on the swings and slide with the other kids. He had so much fun that he didn't want to leave the park. But he knew he had to go home soon. Timmy said goodbye to his new friends and walked home with his mom, feeling very happy and content.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved cars and trucks. He had a big red truck that he loved to play with. One day, Timmy wanted to add more cars to his truck. He went to his toy box and found more cars. He put them in his truck and it was full!
+
+Timmy's mom said it was time to go for a ride in the car. Timmy got in the back seat and put on his seat belt. The car was very loud, but Timmy didn't mind. He looked out the window and saw lots of other cars and trucks on the road. Timmy loved seeing all the different vehicles.

+
+As they walked, Lily's mom noticed that Lily's jacket zipper was open. She said, "Lily, let's settle down so I can fix your zipper." Lily said, "Okay, Mommy." They sat down on a bench and her mom fixed the zipper.
+
+After that, they continued on their walk and saw a group of kids playing. Lily said, "Can I play with them?" Her dad said, "Of course, go have fun." Lily ran over to the kids and they all played together. They had so much fun that Lily didn't want to leave when it was time to go home.

+
+While Timmy was getting his massage, he heard a loud noise outside. He asked his mommy what the noise was. She said it was a car crash. Timmy got scared and asked if anyone was hurt. His mommy said yes, someone was hurt badly.
+
+Timmy felt sad and wished he could help. He asked his mommy if they could go see the people who were hurt. But his mommy said they couldn't because it was too dangerous. Timmy felt even sadder and wished he could do something to make the hurt people feel better. But there was nothing he could do. And so, Timmy went to bed feeling sad and helpless.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat pastries, especially chocolate ones. One day, her mom baked a big batch of pastries and left them on the table to cool down.
+
+Lily couldn't resist the smell of the pastries and went to grab one. But her mom saw her and said, "No, Lily! Wait until they cool down, or you'll make a messy crumbly mess!"
+
+Lily didn't want to wait, so she insisted, "But I want one now, Mommy! Please, please, please!"
+
+Her mom replied, "I understand, but you must resist the temptation. If you wait just a little bit longer, they will taste even better."

+
+As soon as Timmy landed in the mud, he realized his mistake. His cape was covered in mud and he couldn't get it clean. Timmy started to cry because he thought his cape was ruined forever. But then, his mom came to the park with a rubber hose and sprayed Timmy and his cape with water. The mud came right off and Timmy's cape was as good as new.

+
+The teacher hears them and comes over. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you. You are being bad. You have to share. You can't own everything. You have to take turns and be nice." She takes the doll and puts it on the shelf. She says, "No one can play with this doll until you say sorry and make up."
+
+Tim and Lily are sad and angry. They sit in the corner and pout. They do not want to say sorry. They do not want to make up. They do not want to share.
+
+But then they see the other kids having fun. They see them playing with cars and blocks and puzzles. They see them drawing and coloring and smiling. They feel lonely and bored. They wish they had someone to play with.
+
+They look at each other. They remember that they are friends. They remember that they like the same things. They remember that they have fun together. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Tim." "Sorry, Lily." They hug and make up.

+
+"Hello, duck," Lila says. "Why are you in a cage?"
+
+"Quack, quack," the duck says. "I want to escape. I want to swim in the pond and fly with my friends. But the man who owns me does not let me go. He keeps me here for people to look at."
+
+"That is not fair," Ben says. "You should be free. We will help you escape. We will open the cage and you can run away."
+
+Lila and Ben look around. They do not see the man who owns the duck. They sneak to the cage and push the door. The door opens. The duck is happy. He flaps his wings and jumps out of the cage.
+
+"Thank you, thank you," the duck says. "You are very kind. Now I can go back to my home. Goodbye, Lila and Ben."

Please don't ever do this again."
+
+Sara felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was lonely and I wanted to be thin. I thought no one liked me because I was fat."

+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, sir, I can sing you a song. What song do you want to hear?"
+
+The man thinks for a moment and says, "How about a song about a slow turtle and a fast rabbit?"
+
+Tom smiles and says, "I know that song. It is one of my favorites. I will sing it for you." He starts to sing the song. The man listens and claps his hands. He likes the song. He takes out his tool and opens the car. He gives Tom his keys and says, "You are a very good singer, son. You have a bright future as a musician. Good luck with your show. I will come and watch you."
+
+Tom thanks the man and hugs him. He takes his guitar and runs to the park. He is very happy and grateful. He plays his guitar and sings his songs. The people at the park love him.

+
+Tom and Sue listen to the man. They want to know more about God and Jesus. They ask their moms, "How can we be friends with Jesus? How can we make him happy?"

+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens. They made a palace with sticks and leaves. They had a crown and a scepter.
+
+"Look at our palace!" Anna said. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "But we need to protect it from the bad guys. They want to take it from us."
+
+"Who are the bad guys?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben pointed to the woods. "They live there. They are scary. They have big teeth and claws. They roar and growl."
+
+Anna felt afraid. She hugged Ben. "What can we do?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. He picked up a rock and threw it into the woods. "We can send them a message. We can tell them to stay away from our palace. Or we will fight them!"
+
+The rock made a loud noise. It hit a branch and fell to the ground. But then, something else happened. A voice came from the woods. It was not a roar or a growl. It was a laugh.
+
+"Ha ha ha! That was a good throw, little king!" the voice said. "But you don't need to be afraid of us. We are not bad guys. We are your friends. We are the animals. We like to play, too."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were surprised. They did not know there were animals in the woods. They wanted to see them. They wanted to play with them.
+
+"Can we come to your palace?" the voice asked. "We can share and have fun. We can be pals."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They nodded. They said, "Yes, you can. Come to our palace. We can be pals."
+Anna liked to play with her white cups. She had many cups of different sizes and shapes. She liked to fill them with water, sand, or stones and pretend they were tea or soup. She also liked to weigh them on her toy scale and see which one was heavier or lighter.
+
+One day, she found a big cup in the kitchen. It was white and shiny and had a handle. She thought it was a pretty cup and wanted to play with it. She took it to her room and put it on her scale. She looked for something to weigh it with.
+
+She saw her brother's ball on the floor. It was red and round and bounced high. She thought it would be a good thing to weigh with the cup. She picked it up and put it on the other side of the scale. The scale tipped and the cup fell off. It broke into many pieces on the floor.
+
+Anna was scared. She knew the cup was not hers and it was not a toy. She knew her mom would be angry. She tried to pick up the pieces but they were sharp and cut her fingers. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to her room. She saw the broken cup and the blood on Anna's fingers. She was very angry and sad. She yelled at Anna and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned her fingers and put a bandage on them. She told Anna she was naughty and she had to go to bed without dinner. She took away her white cups and her scale and her brother's ball. She left Anna alone in her room.

+
+"Mine!" Sara shouted.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben shouted back.
+
+They both pulled hard and the car broke in two. They heard a loud snap and saw the wheels and the windows fall off. They were both shocked and sad. They had broken their favorite toy.

+Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They have a big yellow ball and a small chair. Lily likes to roll the ball to Tom and Tom likes to catch it. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, Lily has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's roll the ball under the chair. It will be more fun." Tom nods and agrees. They roll the ball under the chair and try to get it out. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.
+
+But then, the ball gets stuck under the chair. Lily and Tom push and pull, but the ball does not move. They are sad and frustrated. They want their ball back.
+
+They call for Mom. Mom comes and sees the problem. She says, "Don't worry, I can help you. Let me lift the chair and you grab the ball." She lifts the chair and Lily and Tom reach for the ball. They get it out and hug it. They are happy and relieved.

+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had a big sack that they used to carry things. One day, they decided to play a game with the chickens.
+
+"Let's see how many chickens we can put in the sack," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet so Mom and Dad don't hear us," Sam said.
+
+They sneaked into the chicken coop and looked for the smallest and most obedient chickens. They found four that did not make much noise and did not run away. They put them in the sack one by one and tied the top.
+
+"Wow, we have four chickens in the sack! Let's take them to the barn and see what they do," Ben said.
+
+They carried the sack to the barn and opened it. The chickens came out and looked around. They saw some hay, some corn, and some other animals. They started to peck, cluck, and flap their wings.
+
+"Look, they are having fun!" Sam said.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Ben! Sam! What are you doing with the chickens?" It was Mom. She had followed them to the barn and saw the sack.
+
+"Uh-oh, we are in trouble," Ben said.
+
+They ran to Mom and tried to explain.
+
+"Mom, we were just playing a game. We wanted to see how many chickens we could put in the sack. We didn't hurt them, we promise," Sam said.
+
+Mom looked at the chickens and saw that they were not harmed. She also saw that they were the smallest and most obedient ones.
+
+"Boys, I know you were curious, but you can't play with the chickens like that. They are not toys, they are living creatures. They need space, air, and water. They also have feelings. How would you like it if someone put you in a sack and took you to a strange place?" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Sam felt sorry. They realized that they had been mean to the chickens.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We didn't think about that. We won't do it again," Ben said.
+
+"Can we say sorry to the chickens too?" Sam said.
+
+Mom nodded. She helped them take the chickens back to the coop and give them some treats. The chickens seemed to forgive them and made happy noises.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We learned our lesson. We will be kind to the chickens from now on," Ben and Sam said.
+
+Mom hugged them and smiled.
+
+"I'm glad you did. Now, let's go and wash your hands. It's time for lunch," Mom said.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big, furry caterpillar on a leaf. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said no.
+
+"That is not a toy, Lily. It can bite you. Let it be," Tom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted a furry friend to play with. She looked around and saw a mushroom. It was red and white and had spots. It looked like a hat. Lily ran to the mushroom and picked it up.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a hat!" Lily said. She put the mushroom on her head and smiled.
+
+Tom laughed. He thought Lily looked funny. He ran to her and took the mushroom off her head.
+
+"That is not a hat, Lily. That is a mushroom. It can make you sick. You should not touch it," Tom said.
+
+Lily was sad again. She wanted a hat to wear. She looked around and saw a box. It was wrapped in paper and had a bow. It looked like a present. Lily ran to the box and opened it.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a present!" Lily said. She pulled out a soft, furry hat. It was pink and had ears. It looked like a bunny. Lily put the hat on her head and giggled.
+
+Tom smiled. He thought Lily looked cute. He ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"That is a hat, Lily. That is a present. You received it from Grandma. She sent it for your birthday. You should wear it and say thank you," Tom said.
+
+Lily was happy. She had a furry friend to play with. She wore the hat and said thank you.
+
+"Thank you, Grandma. I love my hat. It is the best present ever," Lily said.
+Anna likes to dress up in her mom's clothes. She finds a big hat, a long dress and a shiny necklace in the closet. She puts them on and looks at herself in the mirror. She feels very pretty and happy.
+
+She wants to show her mom how she looks, so she runs to the kitchen. But on the way, she trips on a hook on the floor. The hook is for hanging coats, but someone left it there. Anna falls down and hurts her knee. The hat falls off and the necklace breaks. She starts to cry.
+
+Mom hears Anna and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Anna on the floor with the clothes and the hook. She is angry and says, "Anna, what have you done? You are very rude to take my clothes without asking. And you made a big mess with the hook and the necklace. You are in trouble, young lady!"
+
+Anna feels very sad and sorry. She says, "Mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to dress up and look pretty like you. I didn't see the hook. It was an accident. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mom sees that Anna is hurt and scared. She feels sorry for her too. She says, "Anna, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I know you didn't mean to be rude or make a mess. But you have to be careful with my clothes and the hook. They are not toys. They can hurt you or break. Next time, ask me before you dress up, okay?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Mom hugs Anna and says, "I love you too, sweetie. Let me clean your knee and fix the necklace. Then we can dress up together, if you want."
+
+Anna smiles and says, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you."
+
+They go to the bathroom and Mom helps Anna. Then they go back to the closet and find some clothes that they can both wear. They dress up and have fun. They forget about the hook and the mess. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran up the stairs and looked for a good spot. He saw a door that said "attic". He opened it and went inside. It was dark and dusty and full of old things. He found a big trunk and hid behind it.
+
+Lily counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" She searched all the rooms but she could not find Tom. She wondered where he was. She saw the door that said "attic" and decided to check it out. She opened it and climbed the stairs. She felt a little frightened because it was so dark and quiet.
+
+She called out, "Tom, are you here?" She heard a whisper behind the trunk. "Yes, I'm here. You found me!" Tom said. Lily walked towards the trunk and saw Tom's face. He smiled and said, "This is a cool place to hide, don't you think?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, it is. But it's also a little scary. Can we go back downstairs?" Tom agreed and said, "Okay, let's go. But first, let's look at some of the old things. Maybe we'll find something fun." Lily and Tom opened the trunk and saw some old clothes, books, toys and pictures. They picked some of them and whispered to each other what they were. They had fun exploring the attic until they heard their mom calling them for lunch. They put everything back in the trunk and ran downstairs. They told their mom about their adventure in the attic and she smiled and said, "That sounds like fun. But be careful next time, okay? The attic can be dangerous." Lily and Tom said, "Okay, mom. We will." They hugged their mom and ate their lunch. They were happy and hungry.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the kitchen. They have a big box that they pretend is a castle. Tom is the king and Lily is the queen. They have a lot of fun making up rules and orders for their castle.
+
+One day, they find a big bow in the closet. It is red and shiny and has a long string. Tom says, "This is my bow. I can shoot arrows with it and protect the castle from bad guys." He takes the bow and tries to pull the string, but it is too tough. He cannot make it bend.
+
+Lily says, "Let me try. I am the queen and I can do anything." She takes the bow from Tom and tries to pull the string, but it is also too tough for her. She cannot make it bend either.
+
+They are both sad and frustrated. They want to play with the bow, but they do not know how. They look around the kitchen for something to help them. They see the refrigerator. It is big and cold and has a lot of food inside.
+
+Tom has an idea. He says, "Maybe the refrigerator can make the bow bend. It is very strong and can keep things cold and fresh. Let's ask it nicely." He and Lily go to the refrigerator and knock on the door.
+
+They say, "Hello, refrigerator. You are very strong and cool. We have a bow that we want to play with, but it is too tough. Can you please make it bend for us?"
+
+The refrigerator does not answer. It just hums and makes ice. Tom and Lily wait for a while, but nothing happens. They are disappointed and angry. They say, "Refrigerator, you are not nice. You do not help us. You are a bad refrigerator."
+
+They start to kick and hit the refrigerator. They make a lot of noise and mess. They do not notice that their mom is coming to the kitchen. She hears the commotion and sees the bow and the box and the food on the floor.
+
+She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you making such a racket and wasting food? And why are you playing with the bow? It is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could hurt yourself or someone else."
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the bow and run to their mom. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play with the bow, but it was too tough. We asked the refrigerator to help us, but it did not. It was a bad refrigerator."
+
+Mom sighs and shakes her head. She says, "The refrigerator is not bad. It is just a refrigerator. It cannot talk or bend bows. It can only keep food cold and make ice. You should not expect it to do anything else. And you should not play with the bow. It is not a toy. It is a tool. You need to be careful and respectful with it. And you need to clean up this mess and apologize to the refrigerator."
+
+Tom and Lily feel ashamed and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were silly and naughty. We will clean up and say sorry to the refrigerator." They pick up the bow and the box and the food and put them back where they belong. They go to the refrigerator and bow to it. They say, "We are sorry, refrigerator. You are not bad. You are very strong and cool. Thank you for keeping food cold and making ice. We will not bother you again."
+
+The refrigerator does not answer. It just hums and makes ice. But Tom and Lily think they hear a faint beep. They think it is the refrigerator saying, "You are welcome." They smile and hug each other. They have learned a lesson and made a friend.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go to the zoo. They liked to see the big animals and the small animals and the funny animals. But they did not like to share their snacks. They always quarreled over who got the bigger piece or the better flavor.
+
+One day, their mom took them to the zoo and gave them each a tasty cookie. Lily got a chocolate chip cookie and Ben got a peanut butter cookie. Lily thought her cookie was the best and Ben thought his cookie was the best. They did not want to trade or share.
+
+"Give me some of your cookie!" Lily said to Ben.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said to Lily.
+
+They started to pull and tug at each other's cookies, making a lot of noise. They did not notice that a monkey was watching them from a nearby tree. The monkey was hungry and curious. He saw the cookies and wanted to try them.
+
+The monkey waited for the right moment and then jumped down from the tree. He grabbed both cookies from Lily and Ben and ran away. Lily and Ben were shocked and angry. They cried and shouted.
+
+"Hey, that's our cookies!" Lily said to the monkey.
+
+"Give them back!" Ben said to the monkey.
+
+But the monkey did not listen. He climbed back to the tree and ate the cookies. He liked them both. He made a happy sound and licked his fingers.
+
+Lily and Ben realized that they had been silly. They had wasted their cookies by quarreling. They felt sorry and hugged each other.
+
+"Next time, let's share our cookies," Lily said to Ben.
+
+"OK, and maybe we can share with the monkey too," Ben said to Lily.
+
+They smiled and went to see the other animals. They learned their lesson and did not quarrel anymore.
+Sara was sad. She had a big ouch on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. Mommy put a band-aid on it, but it still hurt.
+
+"Mommy, when will my ouch heal?" Sara asked.
+
+"Very soon, my sweetie. You are a brave girl. Your ouch will heal faster if you rest and eat healthy snacks." Mommy said.
+
+"Can I have a snack now?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. Let's go to the kitchen and see what we have." Mommy said.
+
+They went to the kitchen. Mommy was busy. She was making dinner for the family. She gave Sara a plate with some apple slices and cheese.
+
+"Here you go, Sara. This is a yummy and good snack for you. It will help your ouch heal." Mommy said.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. I love you." Sara said.
+
+She ate her snack and felt a little better. She smiled at Mommy. Mommy smiled back. She hugged Sara and kissed her ouch.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara. I love you too. You are my precious girl." Mommy said.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes, they also liked to listen to music on their radio. They knew how to turn it on and off and change the songs.
+
+One day, their mom told them to take a nap after lunch. She said she had to work and they had to be quiet. Ben and Lily nodded and went to their room. But they did not feel sleepy. They wanted to play and have fun.
+
+"Let's listen to some music," Ben whispered to Lily. "But mom said to be quiet," Lily whispered back. "It's okay, we can make it very low," Ben said. He reached for the radio and turned it on. He found a song they liked and smiled.
+
+They started to dance and sing softly on the bed. They did not hear their mom coming up the stairs. She opened the door and saw them. She looked angry. "Ben and Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "You were supposed to nap, not make noise!"
+
+Ben and Lily stopped dancing and singing. They felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They looked at their mom and trembled. They did not know what to say. They were afraid she would be mad at them.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry," Lily said. "We just wanted to have some fun," Ben said. "We didn't mean to bother you." Their mom sighed. She was not happy, but she loved them. She walked to the bed and hugged them. "I know you're sorry, but you have to listen to me," she said. "Music is nice, but not when you need to rest. And not when I need to work. Do you understand?" Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry again. Their mom kissed them and turned off the radio. She tucked them in and said, "Now, try to sleep. I'll be downstairs if you need me." She left the room and closed the door.
+
+Ben and Lily snuggled under the covers. They felt sleepy now. They closed their eyes and listened to their mom's footsteps. They hoped she was not too mad at them. They loved her and wanted to make her happy. They decided to be good and quiet next time. They fell asleep and dreamed of music.
+Lily loved to dive in the pool. She learned how to dive from her big brother, Ben. He was very dependable. He always helped her and played with her. He taught her how to hold her breath, how to jump, and how to splash.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the pool with their mom. They were very excited. They put on their swimsuits and ran to the water. Ben said, "Lily, watch me. I'm going to dive from the high board. It's very fun and cool." Lily watched as Ben climbed the ladder and stood on the edge of the board. He waved at her and smiled.
+
+Lily wanted to dive from the high board too. She thought it looked fun and cool. She said, "Mom, can I dive from the high board too?" Mom said, "No, Lily. You're too little. The high board is too high and too dangerous. You can dive from the low board. It's safer and easier." Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to be like Ben. She wanted to show him that she could dive too.
+
+She waited until Mom was not looking. She ran to the ladder and climbed up. She reached the high board and walked to the edge. She looked down at the water. It was very far and very deep. She felt scared and dizzy. She wanted to go back, but she was too proud. She said to herself, "I can do it. I can dive like Ben." She closed her eyes and jumped.
+
+She felt the air and the water. She felt a big pain in her head and her chest. She felt very cold and very wet. She opened her eyes and saw bubbles and blue. She could not breathe. She could not swim. She could not scream. She wanted to go up. She wanted to see Ben and Mom. She wanted to be safe and warm.
+
+She saw a hand and an arm. It was Ben. He saw her and dove after her. He was very fast and very strong. He grabbed her and pulled her up. He brought her to the side of the pool. He shouted, "Mom, help! Lily dove from the high board. She's hurt and scared." Mom ran to them and hugged them. She said, "Lily, why did you do that? You could have drowned. You could have died. Don't ever do that again. I love you so much." Lily cried and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to dive like Ben. I wanted to be fun and cool. But I was stupid and foolish. I'm sorry, Ben. Thank you for saving me. You're the best brother ever." Ben said, "It's okay, Lily. I love you too. You're brave and smart. But you have to be careful and listen to Mom. She knows what's best for you. Diving is fun and cool, but only when you're ready and safe."
+
+Lily learned a big lesson that day. She learned that diving is not a game. She learned that Mom and Ben are very dependable. They always protect her and care for her. She learned that she has to trust them and obey them. She learned that she has to be patient and practice. She learned that she has to be happy and proud of who she is. She never forgot that day. It was a big memory in her life.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their house. One day, they find a brown door in the hall. They have never seen it before.
+
+"What is behind the door?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben says.
+
+He tries to turn the knob, but it is locked. He urges Lily to help him. They push and pull, but the door does not move.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Lily says.
+
+"Where can we find a key?" Ben asks.
+
+They look around the hall. They see a small table with a vase and a picture. They see a coat rack with hats and scarves. They see a rug with flowers and stars.
+
+"Maybe the key is under the rug," Lily says.
+
+She lifts the corner of the rug and peeks underneath. She sees a shiny metal thing. She grabs it and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, I found the key!" she says.
+
+"Good job, Lily! Let's try it on the door," Ben says.
+
+They run to the door and put the key in the hole. They turn it and hear a click. The door opens and they see a dark room.
+
+"What is in there?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go in and see," Ben says.
+
+They hold hands and walk into the room. They see a lot of boxes and bags and toys. They see a lamp and a chair and a bookshelf. They see a window and a curtain and a poster.
+
+"Wow, this is like a treasure room!" Ben says.
+
+"Look, there is a teddy bear and a doll and a train!" Lily says.
+
+They pick up the toys and play with them. They are very happy. They forget about the time and the hall and the brown door. They are in their own world.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball of yarn. They liked to make shapes and patterns with the yarn on the floor. But sometimes the yarn got tangled and made knots. Lily and Ben did not like knots. They were hard to undo and made the yarn messy.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a star!" Lily said, showing her brother her yarn shape.
+
+"That's nice, Lily. I made a circle," Ben said, pointing to his yarn shape.
+
+They smiled and kept playing. But then Lily saw a big knot in the yarn. She tried to pull it apart, but it only got tighter.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, there is a knot!" Lily cried.
+
+"Let me see, Lily. Maybe I can help," Ben said.
+
+He took the yarn from Lily and tried to untie the knot. He used his fingers and teeth, but the knot did not budge.
+
+"It's too hard, Lily. I can't undo it," Ben said.
+
+They both looked sad. They did not want to waste the yarn. They wanted to keep playing.
+
+Then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, it's time for lunch. Come to the kitchen, please. And tidy up your toys," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to do with the yarn and the knot.
+
+"Maybe we can hide it under the sofa," Lily whispered.
+
+"Or maybe we can cut it off with scissors," Ben whispered.
+
+But then they remembered that mom did not like them to hide things or cut things without asking. They knew they had to be honest and tell mom about the knot.
+
+They picked up the yarn and the knot and walked to the kitchen. They saw mom making sandwiches and juice.
+
+"Hi, mom. We are here for lunch," Lily said.
+
+"Hi, sweeties. I'm glad you are hungry. But what is that in your hands?" mom asked, looking at the yarn and the knot.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt nervous, but they decided to tell the truth.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were playing with the yarn and we made a knot. We tried to undo it, but we couldn't. We don't know what to do with it," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the yarn and the knot. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Thank you for telling me, Lily and Ben. I know you did not mean to make a knot. Sometimes yarn gets tangled and it's hard to untie. But you did the right thing by coming to me. I will help you with the knot later, okay? For now, let's put the yarn and the knot in a basket and have lunch. You can play with the yarn again after we eat, but be careful not to make more knots, okay?" mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They were happy that mom was not angry. They put the yarn and the knot in a basket and sat down to eat. They enjoyed their sandwiches and juice. They learned that it was better to tell the truth and ask for help than to hide or cut things. They also learned to be more careful with the yarn and to keep it tidy. They loved playing with the yarn, but they did not love knots.
+Lily liked to jog with her dad every morning. They would put on their shoes and go outside, and jog around the park. Lily felt happy and strong when she jogged with her dad.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "You can't jog today, Lily. You have a cold. You need to stay in bed and rest."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to stay in bed. She wanted to jog with her dad. She said, "No, mom. I want to jog. I'm not sick. Please, mom, permit me to jog."
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but no. Jogging is not good for you when you have a cold. You need to drink some soup and take some medicine. Maybe tomorrow you can jog with your dad, if you feel better."
+
+Lily did not like soup or medicine. She did not like to miss her jog with her dad. She cried and kicked her blanket. She said, "It's not fair. I hate colds. I hate soup. I hate medicine. I hate staying in bed. I want to jog. I want to jog. I want to jog."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily, I know. It's hard to miss something you love. But sometimes we have to do things we don't like, to get better. I love you, Lily, and I want you to be healthy and happy. Trust me, Lily, it's only for one day. Tomorrow, you can jog with your dad, and everything will be ordinary again."
+A dog and a cat lived in a big house with a human. The human was nice and gave them food and water and toys. The dog liked to play with the human and touch him with his tongue. The cat liked to sleep on the human's bed and touch him with her paw.
+
+One day, the human went out and left the door open. The dog and the cat saw a new place outside. They ran out to explore. They saw many things: cars, trees, birds, and other animals. They also saw a lot of dirt and trash.
+
+"Look, a bone!" the dog said. He ran to a pile of garbage and picked up a dirty bone with his mouth. He was happy.
+
+"Yuck, that's gross!" the cat said. She did not like the smell of the garbage. She saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a ring. She touched it with her paw. She was curious.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" a voice said. The dog and the cat looked up and saw another human. The human was angry and dirty. He had a beard and a hat and a coat. He looked scary.
+
+"Give me back my ring!" the human said. He reached out to grab the cat. The cat was scared. She hissed and scratched the human's hand. The human yelled and let go.
+
+"Run!" the dog said. He dropped the bone and ran back to the house. The cat followed him. They ran inside and closed the door. They were safe.
+
+The human outside banged on the door and shouted. The dog and the cat hid under the bed. They waited for their human to come back. They did not like the dirty human. They liked their nice human. They hoped he would come back soon.
+Sara and Ben are young twins. They like to play outside in the fall. They see many leaves and acorns on the ground. They also see a big farm with many pumpkins.
+
+"Look, Ben, pumpkins!" Sara says. "Can we go and find one?"
+
+"OK, Sara, let's go and find one," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The farmer may not like us."
+
+They run to the farm and look at the pumpkins. They are big and round and orange. Some are small and green and bumpy. Sara and Ben want to find the best pumpkin.
+
+They see one pumpkin that is very big and shiny. It has a long stem and a happy face. Sara and Ben think it is the best pumpkin.
+
+"Wow, Sara, look at this pumpkin!" Ben says. "It is so big and shiny. Can we take it?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, let's take it," Sara says. "It is the best pumpkin. We can make a jack-o-lantern with it."
+
+They try to lift the pumpkin, but it is too heavy. They push and pull, but it does not move. They hear a voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you two, what are you doing with my pumpkin?" the voice says. It is the farmer. He is not happy. He has a hat and a pitchfork.
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the pumpkin and run away. They say sorry to the farmer, but he does not hear them. He shakes his pitchfork and yells at them.
+
+Sara and Ben run back to their home. They are sad and sorry. They did not find a pumpkin. They only found trouble.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big bird on a tree. The bird is black and white and has a long yellow beak. Lily and Tom want to touch the bird.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Lily says. "I want to lift it."
+
+"No, you can't lift it," Tom says. "The bird is too high and too big. And it is smelly. It eats fish."
+
+Lily does not listen to Tom. She finds a big stick and tries to lift the bird with the stick. She pokes the bird with the stick. The bird does not like it. It makes a loud noise and flies away.
+
+"See, I told you," Tom says. "You scared the bird. Now it is gone."
+
+Lily is sad. She drops the stick and cries. Tom feels sorry for Lily. He hugs her and says, "Don't cry, Lily. There are many other birds in the park. Maybe we can find a nice one that is not smelly and not too high."
+
+Lily stops crying and smiles. She says, "OK, Tom. Let's go and find another bird. Maybe a red one or a blue one. Or a yellow one like your shirt."
+
+Tom and Lily hold hands and run to the pond. They see many ducks and geese and swans. They feed them with bread and watch them swim. They forget about the big black and white bird. They have fun with the other birds.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a green dinosaur that can roar and move its tail. Ben has a red car that can zoom and beep. They are having fun, but they also want each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your dinosaur?" Ben asks Sara.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sara says. "You can play with your car."
+
+"But I like your dinosaur. It's green and big and scary. My car is boring. Please, Sara, let me play with it!" Ben begs.
+
+"No, no, no!" Sara shouts. She hugs her dinosaur and runs away. Ben is angry and sad. He follows Sara and tries to grab her dinosaur.
+
+They run around the living room, bumping into the couch, the table, the lamp. They are not careful. They knock over a vase with flowers. The vase falls and breaks. Water and glass go everywhere. Sara and Ben stop and look at the mess. They are scared.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sara says.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says.
+
+They hear their mom coming. She sees the broken vase and the wet floor. She is not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" she asks. "Who did this?"
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They don't want to get in trouble. They wish they could shrink and hide. But they can't.
+
+They point at their toys. They say, "It was the dinosaur and the car. They did it. They were fighting."
+
+Their mom does not believe them. She shakes her head. She says, "That's not true. You know better than to lie. You need to say sorry and clean up this mess. And you need to share your toys. They are not alive. They can't fight. You can."
+
+Sara and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to their mom. They say sorry to each other. They help clean up the water and the glass. Their mom gives them a bandage for their small cuts. They hug their mom. They hug each other.
+
+They decide to share their toys. Sara lets Ben play with her dinosaur. Ben lets Sara play with his car. They make the dinosaur and the car be friends. They make them roar and beep together. They are happy. They are careful. They don't break anything else.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the forest. They found a big pile of lumber that Dad had left there. They decided to use it to build a fort.
+
+"Let's make a door and a window and a roof," said Lila.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The lumber is heavy and sharp," said Ben.
+
+They worked hard and soon they had a nice fort. They crawled inside and felt very proud.
+
+"Look, we made a house!" said Lila.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It was Rex, the neighbor's dog. He was big and scary and liked to chase them. He saw the fort and ran towards it, barking and growling.
+
+"Help! It's Rex!" said Ben.
+
+"Don't worry, we are safe in here. He can't get in," said Lila.
+
+But Rex was angry and strong. He pushed and bit the lumber, trying to break the fort. Lila and Ben heard the wood crack and splinter.
+
+"What do we do?" said Ben.
+
+"We have to be brave," said Lila. "We can't let him ruin our fort. Let's shout and scare him away."
+
+They gathered their courage and started to yell and clap their hands.
+
+"Go away, Rex! Leave us alone! You are a bad dog!" they shouted.
+
+Rex was surprised and confused. He didn't like the noise and the voices. He stopped attacking the fort and ran away, whimpering.
+
+Lila and Ben cheered and hugged each other.
+
+"We did it! We scared him away!" said Lila.
+
+"We are brave explorers!" said Ben.
+
+They remained in their fort, happy and safe. They hoped Dad would fix the lumber later. They didn't want to lose their house.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they found an old tire. It was big and round and black.
+
+"Look, Tim, a tire!" Sam said. "Let's spin it!"
+
+They rolled the tire to the hill. They pushed it hard. The tire spun fast down the hill. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Wow, that's fun!" Tim said. "Let's do it again!"
+
+They ran after the tire. They got it and brought it back to the top of the hill. They pushed it again. The tire spun faster and faster.
+
+But this time, the tire did not stop at the bottom of the hill. It kept going. It went into the street. A car was coming. The car did not see the tire. The tire hit the car. The car crashed. The car made a big boom.
+
+Tim and Sam heard the boom. They saw the smoke. They saw the tire. It was broken and flat. They saw the car. It was smashed and bent. They saw the driver. He was hurt and bleeding.
+
+They were scared. They did not know what to do. They ran to the house. They told their mom.
+
+Mom was angry. She was sad. She called the police. She called the ambulance. She hugged Tim and Sam. She said they were in big trouble. She said they should not play with old tires. She said they should be careful and sorry.
+
+Tim and Sam cried. They wished they did not spin the tire. They wished they did not hurt the driver. They wished they did not make a big mess. They learned a hard lesson. They were very sorry.
+Mira liked to record her voice with her mom's phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. Then she would listen to herself and laugh. She thought her voice was original and fun.
+
+One day, she found some pastels in her mom's drawer. They were soft and colorful, like crayons. She wanted to draw with them on paper. But she had a better idea. She decided to draw on the phone's screen. She made a rainbow, a flower, and a smiley face.
+
+She was very proud of her art. She wanted to show it to her mom. She pressed the record button and said, "Look, mom, I made you a picture with pastels. Do you like it? It is original and pretty."
+
+But when she played the recording, she saw that her drawing was gone. The phone's screen was black. She heard her voice, but she did not see her picture. She was confused and sad. She did not know that the pastels had scratched the phone's screen and made it broken.
+
+She started to cry. She did not mean to break the phone. She wanted to make her mom happy. She hoped her mom would not be angry. She hoped her mom would still love her. She hugged the phone and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you."
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They were going to the pool with Mom and Dad. They liked to swim and splash and play with their toys. They had a big bag with towels, sunscreen, and snacks.
+
+Before they left, Mom said, "Don't forget to give some water to the plants. They are very thirsty." Sara and Tom nodded. They loved their plants. They had flowers, herbs, and peppers. They took the watering can and went to the garden.
+
+They watered the flowers and the herbs. They were very pretty and smelled good. Then they saw the peppers. They were red and green and yellow. They looked like candy. Sara and Tom wondered how they tasted. They each picked one and bit into it.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried. The peppers were very spicy. They burned their mouths and tongues. They ran to the kitchen and drank some milk. They felt better, but they were still very hot.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw the peppers and understood. They hugged Sara and Tom and said, "It's okay. You made a mistake. Peppers are not candy. They are spicy. They are for cooking, not for eating. Next time, ask us before you try something new."
+
+Sara and Tom said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They gave the peppers to Mom and Dad. They said they only wanted water and snacks at the pool. They got ready and went to the pool. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the peppers. They were very happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy guns in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and shoot at bad people. They hid behind the trees and the swings and made loud noises.
+
+One day, they saw a new person in the park. He was wearing a big coat and a hat and he had a bag. Tom and Lily thought he looked like a bad person. They decided to shoot at him with their toy guns.
+
+They ran out from their hiding place and pointed their toy guns at the person. They shouted "Bang! Bang! You are a bad person! We are spies and we shoot you!" The person looked confused. He did not know Tom and Lily. He did not know they were playing. He thought they were trying to hurt him.
+
+He dropped his bag and ran away. He was scared. Tom and Lily thought they had won. They cheered and high-fived each other. They did not see what was in the bag. It was a camera. The person was a photographer. He was not a bad person. He was just taking pictures of the park. He was confused and sad. He did not like to be shot at by children. He did not want to play with them. He wanted his camera back.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with a picture of a mint on it. The truck was selling ice cream.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" they asked their mom.
+
+"OK, but only one each. And you have to share with me," their mom said.
+
+They ran to the truck and asked for mint ice cream. The man gave them two cones with green ice cream. It was cold and sweet.
+
+"Yum, this is good," Ben said.
+
+"Me too, I like mint," Lily said.
+
+They licked their ice cream and smiled. But then, something bad happened. Ben's ice cream fell off his cone and landed on his shirt. It made a big stain.
+
+"Oh no, my ice cream!" Ben cried.
+
+Lily laughed. "You are so silly, Ben. You dropped your ice cream. Now you are all green."
+
+Ben felt sad and mad. He did not like Lily laughing at him. He felt embarrass.
+
+"Stop laughing, Lily. It's not funny. You are mean," he said.
+
+He threw his cone at Lily. But he missed. The cone hit a lady who was walking by. The lady was wearing a light dress. The cone made a big stain on her dress too.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? You ruined my dress!" the lady shouted.
+
+Ben and Lily's mom heard the lady. She saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben, Lily, come here right now. You have to say sorry to the lady. And to each other. That was not nice," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make trouble. They said sorry to the lady. And to each other. And to their mom.
+
+The lady was kind. She said it was OK. She gave them a napkin to clean their clothes. She said she liked mint too.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged their mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to be more careful with their ice cream. And to be more kind to each other. They finished their ice cream and played some more. They had fun. But they did not throw anything again.
+Anna and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Anna liked the elephants best, because they had long noses and big ears. Ben liked the monkeys best, because they jumped and played on the trees.
+
+Then they came to the gorilla house. There was a big gorilla sitting on a rock. He had black fur and a big belly. He looked very dirty, because he had mud and leaves on his fur. Anna and Ben wanted to see him better, so they went closer to the glass.
+
+"Hello, gorilla!" Anna said. She waved her hand at him. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The gorilla looked at Anna and Ben. He did not say anything. He just stared at them with his dark eyes. He did not seem to want to play.
+
+"Maybe he is shy," Ben said. He waved his hand too. "Or maybe he is sad. He has no friends here."
+
+The gorilla blinked. He lifted his hand and waved back at Ben. He made a low sound, like a grunt. He seemed to like Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They waved again and again. The gorilla waved too. He made more sounds, like he was talking to them.
+
+"Look, Mom and Dad!" Anna said. "The gorilla is waving at us! He is not shy or sad. He is friendly!"
+
+Mom and Dad came to see. They were surprised and happy. They waved at the gorilla too. The gorilla waved at them. He looked less dirty and more shiny.
+
+Anna and Ben were glad. They had made a new friend at the zoo. They hoped to see the gorilla again soon. They said goodbye and thank you to him. The gorilla said goodbye and thank you too, in his own way.
+Ben and Lily were having breakfast with their mom and dad. They liked to eat toast and eggs and juice. But today, mom had a surprise for them. She put a big plate of sausages on the table.
+
+"Look, kids, I made some sausages for you. They are very yummy and good for you. Do you want to try some?" mom asked.
+
+Ben's eyes lit up. He loved sausages. He reached for the plate and took the biggest sausage he could find. It was enormous. He bit into it and smiled.
+
+"Mmm, this is delicious, mom. Thank you!" he said.
+
+Lily looked at the plate and frowned. She did not like sausages. She thought they were gross and smelly. She pushed her plate away and shook her head.
+
+"No, thank you, mom. I don't want any sausages. I only want toast and eggs and juice," she said.
+
+Mom and dad looked at each other. They knew that Ben and Lily sometimes disagreed about food. They wanted them to eat a balanced diet and try new things.
+
+"Lily, why don't you give the sausages a chance? They are not gross or smelly. They are made of meat and spices and herbs. They have a lot of protein and iron. They will make you strong and healthy," dad said.
+
+Lily still did not want to try the sausages. She crossed her arms and pouted.
+
+"No, dad. I don't like meat. I don't like spices. I don't like herbs. I only like toast and eggs and juice. Sausages are yucky," she said.
+
+Ben looked at his sister and rolled his eyes. He thought she was being silly and stubborn. He wanted her to taste the sausages and see how good they were.
+
+"Lily, you are missing out. Sausages are not yucky. They are tasty and juicy and fun. You can dip them in ketchup or mustard or honey. You can make funny faces with them. You can pretend they are worms or snakes or rockets. Come on, just try one bite. Please?" he said.
+
+Lily looked at her brother and sighed. She saw that he was enjoying his sausage and that he wanted to share it with her. She decided to be brave and polite. She took a small sausage from the plate and nibbled on it. She was surprised. It was not as bad as she thought. It was actually kind of good.
+
+"Hey, this is not so bad. It is kind of good. Thank you, Ben. Thank you, mom and dad. I'm sorry I disagreed with you. I guess I can try new things sometimes," she said.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They were proud of Lily for trying something new. They were also proud of Ben for being kind and helpful. They hugged their kids and gave them more toast and eggs and juice. They all ate their breakfast happily. They agreed that sausages were a good surprise.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But they do not like to go to the restaurant with Mom and Dad. They hate the restaurant. It is too loud and too boring. They cannot run or jump or sing. They have to sit and wait and eat.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad say they have a surprise for Tom and Lily. They take them to a new restaurant. It is not like the other restaurants. It is small and quiet and cozy. The people who work there are kind and friendly. They smile and talk to Tom and Lily. They give them crayons and paper to draw. They bring them yummy food and juice. They even have a special dessert for them. It is a big cake with candles and sprinkles. They say it is for Tom and Lily's birthday.
+
+Tom and Lily are very happy. They forget that they hate the restaurant. They say thank you to the people who work there. They hug Mom and Dad. They share the cake with everyone. They are humble. They do not want to be rude or greedy. They want to be nice and polite. They learn that not all restaurants are the same. They learn that sometimes surprises can be good. They learn that they can have fun and be good at the restaurant.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big bottle of soap in the bathroom. They wanted to make bubbles, so they poured some soap into a bowl and added water. Then they took a straw and blew into the bowl.
+
+"Look, Tom, bubbles!" Lily said. "They are so pretty and shiny!"
+
+"Yes, Lily, they are!" Tom said. "Let's make more!"
+
+They blew and blew until the bowl was full of bubbles. Then they carried the bowl to the living room and put it on the table. They wanted to surprise their mom and dad with their bubble art.
+
+But they did not know that soap can make things slippery. When mom and dad came home, they saw the bowl of bubbles on the table. They smiled and walked towards it. But they stepped on some soap that had spilled on the floor. They slipped and fell down with a loud thud.
+
+"Ouch!" mom said. "What is this?"
+
+"Ow!" dad said. "Who did this?"
+
+Lily and Tom heard the noise and ran to the living room. They saw their mom and dad on the floor, looking angry and hurt. They felt sorry and scared.
+
+"We did it, mom and dad," Lily said. "We wanted to surprise you with bubbles."
+
+"We are sorry, mom and dad," Tom said. "We did not know soap can make things slippery."
+
+Mom and dad got up and hugged their twins. They were not angry anymore, but they were still sore.
+
+"It's okay, Lily and Tom," mom said. "We know you meant well, but you should not play with soap in the house. It can be dangerous and messy."
+
+"Yes, Lily and Tom," dad said. "Soap is for washing, not for making bubbles. Next time, ask us before you use something you don't know."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said they were sorry again. They helped mom and dad clean up the soap and the bubbles. They learned that soap can be fun, but also difficult. They also learned to be careful and respectful with things that are not theirs. They promised to never play with soap in the house again.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the dark. They had a flashlight that they could attach to their hats. They would turn off the lights and pretend they were explorers in a cave.
+
+One night, they heard a loud noise outside. They were scared and wanted to see what it was. They put on their hats and attached their flashlight. They crept to the window and looked out.
+
+They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. The truck was making the noise. It was moving the boxes to the house next door. Ben and Mia saw a man and a woman and a little boy get out of the truck. They were the new neighbors.
+
+Ben and Mia felt calm. They were not afraid of the noise anymore. They waved to the new neighbors and smiled. They hoped they could be friends and play together. They turned on the lights and went to bed. They dreamed of exploring caves with their flashlight and their new friend.
+Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he woke up, when he ate his oats, when he played with his toys, and when he went to bed. He whistled so much that his mom and dad called him Whistling Tom.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide, a wide swing, and a tall tree. He wanted to try them all. He ran to the slide and whistled as he slid down. He ran to the swing and whistled as he swung high. He ran to the tree and whistled as he climbed up.
+
+But when he reached the top of the tree, he saw a big bird. The bird had a long beak, a red head, and a black and white body. The bird looked at Tom and opened its beak. Tom thought the bird wanted to whistle with him. He whistled a happy tune.
+
+But the bird did not whistle. The bird squawked. The bird squawked so loud that Tom got scared. He tried to climb down, but he slipped and fell. He landed on the soft grass, but he hurt his arm. He cried and cried.
+
+His mom ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. You're okay. It was just a woodpecker. It makes holes in the trees with its beak. It doesn't whistle like you."
+
+Tom stopped crying and looked at the bird. He saw the holes in the tree. He said, "I'm sorry, bird. I didn't know. You can make holes. I can whistle. We are different, but we are both good."
+
+The bird nodded and flew away. Tom smiled and whistled a sorry tune. His mom smiled and kissed his arm. She said, "You're a good boy, Tom. And a good whistler. Let's go home and have some oats."
+Sara likes to look at photos of her family. She has a big book with many photos. She can see her mom, her dad, her brother, and her grandma. She likes to point at them and say their names.
+
+One day, Sara finds a photo that she does not know. It is a photo of a man with a hat and a beard. He is smiling and holding a guitar. Sara wonders who he is. She asks her mom, but her mom is busy. She asks her dad, but her dad is on the phone. She asks her brother, but her brother is playing with his toys.
+
+Sara decides to ask her grandma. She knows that her grandma lives far away, but she can talk to her on the computer. She lifts the photo and runs to the computer. She sees her grandma on the screen. She says hello and shows her the photo.
+
+Grandma smiles and says, "That is your grandpa. He was my husband and your dad's dad. He loved to play music and make people happy. He is in heaven now, but he is always with us in our hearts."
+
+Sara feels happy and sad at the same time. She says, "I love you, grandma. I love you, grandpa." She hugs the photo and kisses the screen. Grandma says, "I love you too, Sara. You are very sweet and smart. You make me happy."
+
+Sara puts the photo back in the book. She thinks that maybe one day she will play music like her grandpa. She thinks that he would be proud of her. She thinks that he is watching her from the sky. She looks out the window and sees a star. It is dark outside, but the star is bright. She smiles and says, "Good night, grandpa."
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They are very intelligent. They can count, read and write. They also like to learn new things.
+
+One day, their mom has good news for them. She says, "Lily and Tom, I have a surprise for you. We are going to have a baby brother or sister soon. Do you want to see the picture of the baby?"
+
+Lily and Tom are very happy and excited. They say, "Yes, mom, we want to see the baby. Is the baby big or small? Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
+
+Mom shows them the picture of the baby on her phone. She says, "The baby is still very small. The doctor says the baby weighs as much as a banana. We don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl yet. We will find out later."
+
+Lily and Tom look at the picture of the baby. They think the baby is very cute. They say, "Wow, mom, the baby is so small. We can't wait to meet the baby. We will be good big brother and sister. We will teach the baby many things. We will play with the baby and share our toys and books."
+
+Mom hugs Lily and Tom. She says, "I'm sure you will be wonderful big brother and sister. The baby is lucky to have you. I love you very much."
+Tim and Sue wanted to play in the ocean. They liked the big waves and the wet sand. But their mom said no. She said the ocean was too deep and too cold. She warned them to stay on the beach.
+
+But Tim and Sue did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy with the baby. Then they ran to the water. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They did not see the big sign that said "Danger".
+
+A big wave came and knocked them down. They tried to get up, but the water was too strong. They screamed for help, but their mom did not hear them. The wave dragged them away from the shore.
+
+Their mom looked up and saw the sign. She saw the empty beach. She saw the wave. She ran to the water, but it was too late. She could not find Tim and Sue. She cried and cried.
+
+The ocean was not a good place to play. Tim and Sue learned that too late. They should have listened to their mom. She warned them, but they did not listen.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tunnel in the park. The tunnel is brown and dark.
+
+"Let's go inside the tunnel!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be dirty or scary," Mia says.
+
+They hold hands and walk into the tunnel. They see some bugs and spiders on the walls. They hear some noises and echoes. They feel some water and mud on the floor.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says.
+
+"Yuck, this is gross!" Mia says.
+
+They keep walking until they see some light at the end of the tunnel. They run out of the tunnel and see a pond. The pond is blue and clear.
+
+"Look, a pond! Let's bathe in the pond!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be cold or deep," Mia says.
+
+They take off their shoes and socks and jump into the pond. They splash and swim and laugh. They feel the sun and the breeze on their skin.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Tom says.
+
+"Yay, this is nice!" Mia says.
+
+They bathe in the pond until they are clean and happy. They put on their shoes and socks and walk back to the park. They see their moms waiting for them.
+
+"Hi, mom!" Tom and Mia say.
+
+"Hi, kids! Did you have fun in the park?" their moms say.
+
+"Yes, we did! We went into a tunnel and bathed in a pond!" Tom and Mia say.
+
+"That sounds like an adventure! But you are all wet and dirty!" their moms say.
+
+"That's OK, mom. We can bathe again at home!" Tom and Mia say.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. Lily has a new coat. It is pink and fluffy. Ben has an old coat. It is blue and thin.
+
+"Look at my coat!" Lily says. "It is so warm and pretty. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looks at Lily's coat. He thinks it is nice. But he also thinks it is not fair. He is cold and his coat is ugly. He feels envious of Lily.
+
+"I don't like your coat," Ben says. "It is too bright and silly. My coat is better. It is cool and smart."
+
+Lily is hurt by Ben's words. She thinks Ben is mean. She does not want to play with him anymore.
+
+"Go away, Ben!" Lily says. "You are not my friend. You are a bad boy. I don't want to see you again."
+
+Ben is angry and sad. He does not want to lose Lily. He likes her. But he also likes her coat. He thinks of a plan. He waits until Lily is not looking. Then he runs to her and grabs her coat. He pulls it off her and runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily shouts. "Give me back my coat! That is mine!"
+
+Lily chases Ben. But Ben is faster. He runs to his house and slams the door. He puts on Lily's coat. He thinks he is happy. But he is not. He is alone and scared. He hears Lily knocking on the door. She is crying and yelling.
+
+"Ben, open the door! Give me back my coat! You are a thief and a liar! I hate you!"
+
+Ben does not open the door. He does not say sorry. He does not give back the coat. He keeps it for himself. He thinks he has won. But he has not. He has lost a friend. And he has made an enemy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play and laugh together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Let's go down the slide!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They climb up the ladder and sit on the slide. Tom goes first. He slides down fast and smiles. He waits for Mia at the bottom.
+
+"Come on, Mia!" he shouts.
+
+Mia is nervous. She looks down and sees how high the slide is. She is scared.
+
+"I don't want to go!" she says.
+
+Tom thinks of a joke. He wants to make Mia laugh and not be scared.
+
+"Hey, Mia, do you know what happens when you drop a banana peel on the slide?" he asks.
+
+"No, what?" Mia asks.
+
+"You slip and fall on your face!" Tom says.
+
+He laughs. He thinks his joke is funny.
+
+Mia does not laugh. She thinks his joke is mean. She feels hurt and angry.
+
+She drops her teddy bear on the slide. The teddy bear slides down and hits Tom on the head.
+
+"Ow!" Tom says.
+
+He cries. He drops his toy car on the ground. The toy car breaks.
+
+Mia cries too. She slides down and picks up her teddy bear. She runs to her mom.
+
+Tom and Mia are not friends anymore. They are sad. Their moms are mad. They go home. The end.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy.
+
+But then a big dog comes. The dog is hungry and angry. The dog sees the snowman and thinks it is food. The dog runs to the snowman and bites it. The snowman falls down and breaks. Sara and Tom are sad.
+
+They see a man walking by. The man has a bag of bread. Sara and Tom are hungry and cold. They ask the man for some bread. The man is helpful. He offers them some bread.
+
+But the dog sees the bread too. The dog wants the bread more than the snowman. The dog runs to the man and jumps on him. The man falls down and drops the bag. The dog takes the bag and runs away. The man is hurt and angry. Sara and Tom are scared.
+
+They have no snowman, no bread, and no help. They cry and go home. They have a bad day.
+Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+But there is a sign. The sign says: "Do not step on the grass. It is the law." Tim and Sue do not know what the law is. They think it is a funny word.
+
+They ignore the sign. They step on the grass. They run to the slide. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, a man comes. He is angry. He wears a hat and a badge. He is a cop. He says: "Stop! You are breaking the law. You are not allowed to step on the grass. It is bad. You have to pay a fine."
+
+Tim and Sue are scared. They do not have any money. They do not know what a fine is. They think it is a mean word.
+
+They cry and say: "We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+But the cop does not listen. He says: "You should have read the sign. It is useful. It tells you what to do and what not to do. You have to learn to follow the law. Come with me. I will take you to your parents. They will be very disappointed in you."
+
+He grabs their hands and drags them away. They do not get to go on the slide. They do not have fun. They have a bad day.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be different animals. But then they saw a big box on the table. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a bow on top.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a present for us!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the table and tried to peek inside the box. But it was taped very well and they could not open it.
+
+"Let's ask Mommy," Ben said.
+
+They went to the kitchen, where Mommy was talking on the phone. She looked busy and serious.
+
+"Mommy, Mommy, what is in the box?" Lily asked.
+
+"Shh, not now, sweetie. I'm talking to the lawyer. He is helping me with a problem," Mommy said.
+
+"What is a lawyer?" Ben asked.
+
+"A lawyer is a person who knows the rules and helps people follow them or fix them," Mommy said.
+
+"Why do you need a lawyer?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because Daddy and I have a big fight and we can't agree on anything. The lawyer is trying to make us stop fighting and share things," Mommy said.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and scared. They did not like it when Mommy and Daddy fought. They wanted them to be happy and love each other.
+
+"Can we help you, Mommy?" Ben asked.
+
+Mommy smiled and put down the phone. She hugged Ben and Lily and kissed them.
+
+"You are the best help I can have, my darlings. You make me feel better every day. But right now, you can help me by being good and patient. And by not touching the box. It's not for you. It's for Daddy. It's his birthday today," Mommy said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the box again. They felt curious and tempted. They wanted to know what was inside. They wanted to make Daddy happy too.
+
+"Can we give it to him?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can. But you have to wait until he comes home. And you have to promise me not to open it or shake it or ruin it. It's a surprise," Mommy said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They promised to be good and not touch the box. They went back to the living room and played with their toys. But they kept looking at the box. They wondered what it was.
+
+After a while, Daddy came home. He looked tired and cold. He said hello to Mommy and gave her a kiss. He did not look happy.
+
+"Hi, Daddy!" Ben and Lily shouted. They ran to him and hugged him.
+
+"Hi, kids! I missed you so much. You are the best thing in my life," Daddy said.
+
+He smiled and lifted them up. He tickled them and made them laugh.
+
+"Guess what, Daddy? We have a surprise for you!" Lily said.
+
+"You do? What is it?" Daddy asked.
+
+Ben and Lily pointed to the box. They said it was his birthday present. They said they did not touch it or open it. They said they wanted to make him happy.
+
+Daddy looked at the box. He looked at Mommy. He looked at Ben and Lily. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He felt sorry for fighting with Mommy. He felt grateful for having such a wonderful family.
+
+He put down Ben and Lily and walked to the table. He picked up the box and shook it gently. He heard a soft sound inside.
+
+"What do you think it is, Daddy?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a book? Or a sweater? Or a toy?" Daddy guessed.
+
+He tore the paper and opened the box. He gasped. He saw a small, furry, black and white animal inside. It had a wet nose and bright eyes. It wagged its tail and licked his hand.
+
+"It's a puppy!" Lily exclaimed.
+
+"A puppy? For me?" Daddy asked.
+
+"Yes, Daddy. Mommy said you always wanted a puppy when you were little. She said you would love it and take care of it. She said it would make you happy," Ben said.
+
+Daddy looked at Mommy. She nodded and smiled. She said she wanted to make him happy too. She said she was sorry for fighting with him. She said she loved him.
+
+Daddy felt tears in his eyes. He hugged the puppy and thanked Mommy. He said he was sorry too. He said he loved her.
+
+He hugged Ben and Lily and thanked them. He said they were the best kids in the world. He said he was happy.
+
+They all hugged and kissed and laughed. They played with the puppy and gave it a name. They called it Spot. They forgot about the lawyer and the problem. They felt warm and cozy and
+Tommy loved muffins. He liked to eat them for breakfast, for snack, and sometimes for dinner. He liked all kinds of muffins: blueberry, chocolate, banana, and more. But his favorite muffin was regular. Regular muffins were brown and soft and sweet. They had no fruits or nuts or chips inside. They were just regular.
+
+One day, Tommy's mom made a big batch of regular muffins. She put them on a plate and told Tommy he could have one. Tommy was very happy. He ran to the plate and picked up a muffin. He took a big bite and smiled. It was delicious.
+
+But then, Tommy saw something on the plate. It was a muffin that looked different. It was not brown, but white. It was not soft, but hard. It had something green and red on top. Tommy was curious. He put down his regular muffin and picked up the white muffin. He took a small bite and made a face. It was not sweet, but sour. It had no muffin inside, but cheese and tomato. Tommy did not like it. He spit it out and said, "Yuck!"
+
+Tommy's mom saw him and laughed. She said, "That's not a muffin, Tommy. That's a pizza. I made it for lunch. Do you want to try it again?" Tommy shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I don't like pizza. I like muffins. Regular muffins." He went back to his regular muffin and finished it. He was happy again.
+
+Tommy's mom smiled and said, "That's okay, Tommy. You don't have to like pizza. Maybe you will like it when you are older. But for now, you can have another regular muffin if you want." Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love regular muffins. They are the best." He took another regular muffin and ate it. He did not quit until he was full. He thanked his mom and gave her a hug. He was a good boy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They made loud noises as they zoomed and crashed their cars. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car.
+
+"Let's have a race!" Lily said. "The first one to reach the door wins!"
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They pushed their cars as fast as they could. Tom's car was a little bit faster than Lily's car. He was almost at the door when he saw something shiny on the floor. He paused and picked it up. It was a small spoon with some salt on it.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked. He licked the salt. It was very fine and salty. He made a funny face.
+
+Lily saw Tom stop and ran past him. She reached the door and shouted, "I win! I win!"
+
+Tom looked at her and smiled. He did not mind losing. He liked the salt. He gave the spoon to Lily and said, "Here, try this. It is fine and salty."
+
+Lily took the spoon and licked the salt. She also made a funny face. She did not like the salt. She gave the spoon back to Tom and said, "Yuck! I don't like this. It is too salty."
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They did not care about the salt or the race. They were happy to play with their cars and with each other. They hugged and said, "We are friends!"
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and their cat, Spot. Spot is black and soft. He likes to sleep and chase mice.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom find a big orange in the kitchen. They want to eat it, but they do not know how to peel it. They try to use a knife, but it is too sharp and dangerous.
+
+"Stop, Lily! You will hurt yourself!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I want the orange! It is yummy and juicy!" Lily says.
+
+They start to fight over the knife and the orange. They make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Spot wakes up from his nap. He sees the twins fighting. He does not like it. He jumps on the table and knocks over the knife and the orange. He hisses and scratches them.
+
+"Ow, Spot! That hurts!" Lily and Tom cry.
+
+Mom hears the commotion. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the twins and Spot. She is angry and worried.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Tom? You are not behaving! You could have hurt yourself or Spot with the knife! And you wasted a good orange!" Mom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were hungry and curious. We did not mean to be bad." Lily and Tom say.
+
+Mom sighs. She hugs them and Spot. She is glad they are not hurt.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen. And share your toys and food with each other. And be nice to Spot. He is part of our family." Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will behave. We love you and Spot." Lily and Tom say.
+
+Mom smiles. She peels the orange and gives them each a slice. They eat it and say thank you. Spot gets a treat too. They all go to the living room and play together. They are happy and calm.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they go to the park with their moms. It is very cold. The grass is white and the pond is hard.
+
+"Look, Sara, ice!" Tom says. He runs to the pond and slides on it. He laughs.
+
+"Be careful, Tom!" Sara says. She follows him, but she is scared. She does not like ice. She slips and falls. She cries.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom asks. He runs to her and helps her up. He sees a red mark on her knee. He feels sorry.
+
+"Here, Sara, take this." Tom says. He gives her his scarf. He wraps it around her knee. "It will make you warm and better."
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind." Sara says. She smiles. She feels better.
+
+They walk to a bench. Their moms are there. They have hot chocolate and cookies. They give some to Sara and Tom.
+
+"Did you have fun, kids?" Sara's mom asks.
+
+"Yes, mom. We played on the ice. Tom gave me his scarf. He is my best friend." Sara says.
+
+"That's very nice, Tom. You are a good friend." Tom's mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom sip their hot chocolate and eat their cookies. They are happy. They hug each other. They are warm.
+Lily was very patient. She waited and waited for her birthday. She wanted to receive a big present from her mom and dad. They said they had a surprise for her.
+
+Every day, Lily asked, "Is it my birthday yet?" And every day, mom and dad said, "Not yet, Lily. You have to wait a little longer. It's in one week." Lily counted the days on her fingers. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. She was excited.
+
+On the morning of her birthday, Lily woke up early. She ran to the living room. She saw a big box with a bow on it. She squealed, "Is that for me?" Mom and dad smiled and nodded. "Yes, Lily. It's your birthday present. Go ahead and open it."
+
+Lily tore the paper and lifted the lid. She gasped. Inside the box was a beautiful doll. She had long hair, a pretty dress, and shiny shoes. She looked like a princess. Lily hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! She's perfect! What's her name?"
+
+Mom and dad said, "Her name is Ruby. She's your new friend. We knew you would love her. Happy birthday, Lily. We're proud of you for being so patient." Lily smiled and kissed them. She was very happy. She received the best present ever.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm coats and hats and gloves. They make a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Ben says. "He is very big and nice."
+
+"Yes, he is!" Sam says. "But he needs something more. He needs a hat!"
+
+Sam runs to his house and comes back with a hat. It is his dad's hat. It is brown and has a string to tie under the chin.
+
+"Here, let's put this hat on the snowman!" Sam says. He climbs on Ben's shoulders and puts the hat on the snowman's head. He ties the string under the snowman's chin.
+
+"There, now he is perfect!" Sam says.
+
+But then they hear a voice. It is Sam's dad. He is angry.
+
+"Sam, where is my hat?" he shouts. "I need it to go to work!"
+
+Sam and Ben look at each other. They are scared. Sam's dad is deaf. He cannot hear them say sorry.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says. "We have to give the hat back."
+
+They run to the snowman and try to take the hat off. But the string is too tight. They pull and pull, but the hat does not come off.
+
+"Help!" Sam says. "We can't get the hat off!"
+
+Sam's dad comes closer. He sees the snowman with his hat. He is very mad.
+
+"Sam, what have you done?" he says. "You took my hat and put it on a snowman? How could you?"
+
+He reaches for the hat and yanks it off. The snowman's head falls off too. The snowman is broken.
+
+Sam and Ben are sad. They did not mean to break the snowman. They did not mean to make Sam's dad mad.
+
+They look at Sam's dad. They hope he will not be too mad.
+
+They say in a small voice, "We are sorry, dad. We just wanted to make the snowman happy."
+Lily and Max were playing with their toys on the couch. They liked to make funny noises and repeat them to each other. Lily had a doll that said "I love you" when she pressed its belly. Max had a car that made a loud vroom sound when he pushed it.
+
+"Vroom, vroom!" Max said, pushing his car on the couch. "Vroom, vroom!"
+
+"I love you, I love you!" Lily said, pressing her doll's belly. "I love you, I love you!"
+
+They repeated their noises over and over, laughing and having fun. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner.
+
+"Max, Lily, dinner is ready!" Mom said from the kitchen. "Come and eat, please!"
+
+But Max and Lily did not listen. They kept playing with their toys on the couch.
+
+"Vroom, vroom! I love you, I love you!" they said, louder and louder.
+
+Mom got angry. She walked to the living room and saw Max and Lily on the couch. She saw the mess they made with their toys. She saw the stains they left on the couch.
+
+"Max, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said, very mad. "You did not hear me calling you? You did not obey me? You ruined the couch?"
+
+Max and Lily stopped playing. They looked at Mom. They saw her face. They felt scared.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they said, in a small voice.
+
+But Mom did not accept their sorry. She took their toys away. She sent them to their room. She told them they could not play anymore. She told them they were bad.
+
+Max and Lily cried. They did not understand why Mom was so mad. They did not think they did anything wrong. They thought their toys were interesting. They thought their noises were fun. They thought their couch was soft.
+
+They did not know that Mom had a hard day. They did not know that Mom had a headache. They did not know that Mom loved the couch. They did not know that Mom wanted some peace.
+
+They only knew that they were sad. They only knew that they missed their toys. They only knew that they wanted to play on the couch. They only knew that they wished Mom would love them.
+Tom had a big ball. He liked to roll it on the grass. He rolled it fast and slow. He rolled it high and low. He rolled it to his dog and his mom.
+
+One day, he rolled it to a hill. He wanted to see how far it could go. He pushed it hard and watched it roll down. He ran after it, laughing. But the ball did not stop. It rolled and rolled and rolled.
+
+The ball rolled into the street. Tom saw a big car coming. He was scared. He shouted for his ball. He wanted to get it back. He did not see the car.
+
+But the car saw him. The driver was quick. He stopped the car just in time. He got out and picked up Tom. He was angry and worried. He said, "You are a very lucky boy. You could have been hurt. Why did you run into the street?"
+
+Tom looked at his ball. It was on the other side of the street. It had a dent in it. He felt sad. He said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted my ball. It rolled away from me."
+
+The driver looked at his face. He saw that he was sorry. He softened. He said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But you have to be careful. You can't chase your ball into the street. You have to look both ways. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for stopping. Can I have my ball back?"
+
+The driver smiled. He said, "Sure, you can have your ball back. But promise me you won't roll it on the hill again."
+
+Tom promised. He hugged his ball. He said, "Thank you. You are very nice. I'm sorry for making you mad."
+
+The driver said, "You're welcome. And I'm not mad. I'm just glad you are okay. Now go back to your mom and your dog. And have fun with your ball. But be careful, okay?"
+
+Tom said, "Okay. I will be careful. Bye."
+
+He ran back to his mom and his dog. He showed them his ball. He told them what happened. They were happy that he was okay. They were proud that he said sorry. They hugged him and kissed him. They said, "You are a very lucky boy. We love you very much."
+
+Tom felt happy. He loved them too. He rolled his ball on the grass. He rolled it fast and slow. He rolled it high and low. He rolled it to his dog and his mom. He did not roll it on the hill again. He was a very lucky boy.

+
+One day, Anna and Ben swim to the reef and see a big fish. It is blue and yellow and has a long nose. Anna and Ben are curious and want to get closer. They try to swim near the big fish, but it is shy and swims away.
+
+"Let's try again," Anna says to Ben. "Maybe it will let us see it."
+
+They try again and again, but the big fish always swims away. Anna and Ben are sad and tired. They decide to swim back to the shore.
+
+On the way back, they see a small fish. It is green and orange and has a round mouth. It swims up to Anna and Ben and makes a funny noise. It sounds like "blub blub".
+
+"Hello, little fish," Anna says to the small fish. "What is your name?"
+
+The small fish makes the noise again and wiggles its tail. It seems to like Anna and Ben. It follows them to the shore and stays with them.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy and grateful. They have made a new friend. They give the small fish some bread and water. They tell it stories and jokes. They laugh and play with the small fish.

+
+One day, a little girl comes to the store with her mom. She sees Tom and she thinks he is funny. She runs to him and says, "Hello, bald man! Why do you have no hair?"
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Hello, little girl! I have no hair because I was born this way. It does not bother me. Do you like my navy shirt?"
+
+The little girl nods and says, "Yes, I like it. It is the same color as the sky. Can I touch your head?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure, you can touch it. It is very smooth."
+
+The little girl reaches out and touches Tom's head. She feels how soft it is. She likes it. She says, "Your head is like a ball. Can I snap it?"

+Tom is surprised and says, "Snap it? What do you mean?"
+
+The little girl says, "Snap it like this." She makes a snapping sound with her fingers. She thinks it is fun.
+

+Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue. They have a lot of fun with their cars and trucks.
+
+One day, they find a new car in the garage. It is not their car. It is Dad's car. It is very fancy. It is shiny and black. It has four doors and four wheels. It has a big engine and a loud horn. Tim and Jen want to play with the fancy car.
+
+They sneak into the garage when Dad is not looking. They open the door of the fancy car. They climb inside. They pretend to drive. They turn the wheel and push the buttons. They honk the horn and make noises. They have a lot of fun with the fancy car.
+
+But they do not know that the fancy car has fuel. Fuel is a liquid that makes the car go. Fuel is in a tank under the car. Fuel is not for playing. Fuel is for driving. Fuel can be dangerous.
+
+Tim sees a sharp thing on the floor. It is a screwdriver. It is metal and pointy. Tim likes the sharp thing. He picks it up. He wants to see what it can do. He pokes the seat and the door with the sharp thing. He makes holes and scratches. He laughs.
+
+Jen sees what Tim is doing. She does not like it. She thinks it is bad. She tells Tim to stop.
+
+"Tim, stop! You are hurting the fancy car! Dad will be mad! Put down the sharp thing!"
+
+But Tim does not listen. He thinks it is fun. He pokes the floor with the sharp thing. He makes a big hole. He does not know that the hole is near the tank. He does not know that the fuel is leaking. He does not know that the fuel is flammable.
+
+The fuel drips on the floor. It makes a puddle. It smells bad. Jen sees the fuel. She is scared. She smells danger. She tells Tim to get out.
+
+"Tim, get out! There is fuel on the floor! Fuel can burn! Fuel can explode! We have to go!"
+
+But Tim does not listen. He thinks it is a game. He pokes the fuel with the sharp thing. He makes a spark. He does not know that the spark can ignite the fuel. He does not know that the fuel can catch fire. He does not know that the fire can spread.
+
+The fuel catches fire. It makes a flame. It makes a noise. It makes a heat. Jen sees the fire. She screams. She grabs Tim. She pulls him out of the fancy car. She runs to the door. She calls for help.
+
+"Dad, Dad, help! The fancy car is on fire! The fancy car is on fire!"
+
+Dad hears Jen. He sees the smoke. He sees the fire. He grabs a hose. He runs to the garage. He sprays water on the fancy car. He puts out the fire. He saves the fancy car.
+
+But the fancy car is not fancy anymore. It is dirty and damaged. It has holes and scratches. It has burns and dents. It is ruined.
+
+Dad is angry. He is sad. He loves his fancy car. He worked hard to buy it. He asks Tim and Jen what they did. He scolds them. He punishes them. He tells them to never play with the fancy car again. He tells them to never play with fuel or sharp things again. He tells them to be careful and sorry.
+
+Tim and Jen are sorry. They are ashamed. They did not mean to hurt the fancy car. They did not know the fuel and the sharp thing were dangerous. They learned a lesson. They hug Dad. They apologize. They promise to be good.
+
+They go back to their room. They play with their cars and trucks. They have fun with their cars and trucks. But they do not touch the fancy car. They do not touch the fuel or the sharp thing. They leave them alone. They are safe and happy.
+Lily loved her pony, Brownie. She liked to brush his fur and feed him carrots. She wanted to make him look shiny and pretty. She found a bottle of polish in the barn. It said it was for leather shoes, but Lily thought it would work for Brownie too.
+
+She opened the bottle and poured some polish on a cloth. Then she rubbed it on Brownie's back. Brownie felt something wet and sticky. He did not like it. He shook his head and neighed.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily?" asked Mom, who came to the barn. She saw the polish on Brownie and the cloth in Lily's hand. She was not happy.
+
+"I'm polishing Brownie, Mom. I want him to be shiny and pretty," said Lily.
+
+"Oh, Lily, you can't polish a pony. That's for shoes, not fur. You'll make him sick and dirty. Come on, let's wash him off with water and soap," said Mom.
+
+She took Lily and Brownie to the hose. She sprayed water on Brownie and rubbed soap on him. Brownie felt better. He liked the water and the soap. He licked Lily's face.
+
+"I'm sorry, Brownie. I didn't know. I love you," said Lily.
+
+"I know, Lily. You're a kind girl. You just wanted to make him happy. But next time, ask me before you use something you don't know," said Mom.
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged Brownie and Mom. She learned a new word: polish. She also learned a new lesson: ponies don't need polish. They just need love and care.
+Anna liked to write. She had a book and a pen that she kept in her drawer. She wrote stories about animals and princesses and fairies. She wrote every day after school and before bed.
+
+One day, her mom told her to clean her room. She said there were too many toys and clothes on the floor. Anna did not want to clean. She wanted to write. She said, "No, mom, I want to write. Writing is fun. Cleaning is boring."
+
+Her mom was angry. She said, "Anna, you have to be obedient. You have to do what I say. Cleaning is important. Writing can wait. If you don't clean your room, I will take away your book and your pen."
+
+Anna was scared. She loved her book and her pen. She did not want to lose them. She said, "Sorry, mom, I will clean my room. Please don't take away my book and my pen. They are mine. They are special."
+
+Her mom said, "OK, Anna, I will give you one more chance. But you have to clean your room now. And you have to do it well. Or else I will take away your book and your pen."
+
+Anna nodded. She put her book and her pen in her drawer. She started to clean her room. She picked up her toys and her clothes. She put them in their places. She worked hard. She wanted to finish quickly. She wanted to write again.
+
+But she did not see that her drawer was not closed properly. Her book and her pen were sticking out a little bit. And she did not see that her little brother, Tom, was watching her. He was curious. He liked to play with things that were not his. He saw the book and the pen. He wanted to have them. He waited until Anna was busy. Then he sneaked into her room. He grabbed the book and the pen. He ran away.
+
+Anna did not notice. She finished cleaning her room. She was proud. She hoped her mom would be happy. She wanted to show her mom her clean room. And she wanted to write again. She went to her drawer. She opened it. She looked for her book and her pen. But they were not there. They were gone.
+
+Anna was shocked. She was sad. She was angry. She cried. She screamed. She said, "Where is my book? Where is my pen? Who took them? They are mine. They are special. I want them back. I want to write."

+Her mom heard her. She came to her room. She saw her crying. She saw her empty drawer. She said, "Anna, what's wrong? What happened?"
+
+Anna told her mom what happened. She said, "Someone took my book and my pen. They were in my drawer. But now they are gone. I don't know who took them. I want them back. I want to write."
+
+Her mom felt sorry for her. She said, "Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. That's not fair. That's not nice. We will find your book and your pen. We will ask Tom. Maybe he knows. Maybe he saw something."
+
+They went to Tom's room. They knocked on the door. They opened it. They saw Tom. He was sitting on his bed. He was holding Anna's book and pen. He was writing on the book. He was writing his name. He was writing, "Tom, Tom, Tom."
+
+Anna and her mom were shocked. They were angry. They said, "Tom, what are you doing? That's Anna's book and pen. That's not yours. You took them. You stole them. You ruined them. How could you?"
+
+Tom looked at them. He smiled. He said, "I like to write. Writing is fun. This is my book and my pen. They are mine. They are special."
+
+Anna and her mom could not believe it. They could not get the book and the pen back. They were ruined. Anna could not write anymore. She was very sad. She was very mad. She hated Tom. She hated writing. She had a bad ending.
+Lila is a friendly daughter. She likes to play with her toys and her friends. She has a big doll that she calls Anna. Anna has long hair and a pink dress.
+
+One day, Lila and Anna go to the park with Mommy. They see a slide and a swing. Lila wants to go on the slide. She says to Mommy, "Can I go on the slide, please?"
+
+Mommy says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Hold on tight and don't go too fast."
+
+Lila nods and takes Anna with her. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She puts Anna on her lap and says, "Are you ready, Anna?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, I am, Lila. Let's go!"
+
+Lila pushes off and slides down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiles and laughs. But then, she sees a bump on the slide. She tries to avoid it, but it is too late. She and Anna hit the bump and fly off the slide. They fall on the grass.
+
+Lila and Anna are scared and hurt. They cry and call for Mommy. Mommy hears them and runs to them. She picks them up and hugs them. She says, "Oh, no, are you okay, Lila and Anna? I'm sorry you fell. Let me see if you have any boo-boos."
+
+Mommy checks Lila and Anna. She sees that they have some scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. She kisses them and says, "You are very brave, Lila and Anna. You don't need to worry. The boo-boos will heal soon. How about we go to the bench and have some juice and cookies?"
+
+Lila and Anna nod and say, "Yes, please, Mommy. Thank you, Mommy. We love you, Mommy."
+
+Mommy says, "I love you too, Lila and Anna. You are my friendly daughter and my sweet doll."
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were happy and laughed a lot.
+
+But then a big dog came. He ran towards the snowman and barked. He wanted to bite the carrot nose and the buttons. Lila and Ben were scared. They did not want the dog to ruin their snowman.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "This is our snowman. He is our friend. You cannot have him!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. The hat and the scarf fell off. The carrot nose and the buttons flew away. The snowman was gone.
+
+Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They cried and hugged each other. They felt cold and uncomfortable. They wanted to go home.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She came out of the house and saw what happened. She was sorry for them.
+
+"Come here, my loves," she said. "Let me protect you from the cold. Let me give you a warm hug and a hot chocolate. You can make another snowman tomorrow. Or maybe something else. You are very creative and brave."
+
+Lila and Ben ran to their mom. They felt her love and warmth. They smiled and thanked her. They forgot about the dog and the snowman. They were happy again.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but their favorite thing was their big box. The box was rare, because it came from a far away place where their dad worked. The box was big enough for both of them to fit inside, and they liked to pretend it was a spaceship or a castle or a cave.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Tim and Lily, I have to go to the store. You can play in your room, but do not go outside. Do you understand?" Tim and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom." Mom gave them a hug and a kiss and left.
+
+Tim and Lily went to their room and played with their box. They pretended it was a spaceship and they flew to the moon. They had fun, but after a while, they got bored. Tim said, "Lily, let's go outside and play. It's a sunny day and we can see the birds and the flowers." Lily said, "But mom said no. She did not permit us to go outside. We have to stay in our room." Tim said, "Mom won't know. She will be back soon. Come on, it will be fun." Lily was not sure, but she liked to play with Tim. She said, "Okay, but only for a little bit."
+
+They put on their shoes and coats and sneaked outside. They ran to the garden and played with the grass and the bugs and the rocks. They had fun, but they did not see the big dog that lived next door. The dog saw them and barked loudly. It jumped over the fence and ran towards them. Tim and Lily were scared. They screamed and ran back to the house. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. They forgot to take the key. They banged on the door and cried for mom, but she was not there. The dog was still barking and coming closer.
+
+Just then, mom came back from the store. She heard the noise and saw the dog and her children. She dropped her bags and ran to them. She opened the door and let them in. She hugged them and said, "Are you okay? What happened?" Tim and Lily told her what they did. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. Mom was angry, but she was also glad they were safe. She said, "You were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt by the dog. You are not permitted to go outside without me. Do you understand?" Tim and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom." Mom said, "You have to stay in your room for the rest of the day. No more playing with the box. Go to your room now." Tim and Lily went to their room and felt sad. They wished they had not gone outside. They wished they had played with their box. They learned their lesson. The end.
+Lila liked to play with her toy reindeer. She had a big one and a small one. The big one was brown and the small one was white. She named them Rudy and Snowy. She made them fly in the air and talk to each other.
+
+One day, Lila saw a new toy in the store. It was a pretty doll with long hair and a pink dress. She wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no. She said Lila had enough toys and she had to save money.
+
+Lila was sad and angry. She thought of a plan. She took her toy reindeer and hid them under her bed. She told her mom that she lost them. She hoped her mom would feel sorry for her and buy her the doll.
+
+But her mom did not believe her. She looked under her bed and found the reindeer. She was very mad at Lila. She said Lila was naughty and lied to her. She said Lila had to change and be good. She took away the reindeer and the doll. She said Lila could not play with any toys for a week.
+
+Lila cried and cried. She wished she had not lied. She wished she had not hidden her reindeer. She missed Rudy and Snowy. She realized they were her best friends. She was sorry for what she did. But it was too late. She had no toys and no fun. She had a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben were going to visit their grandma for the weekend. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see grandma and play with her dog, Spot.
+
+When they arrived at grandma's house, they ran to hug her and Spot. Grandma smiled and said, "Welcome, my dears. Come in and unpack your bags. I have some cookies and milk for you in the kitchen."
+
+Anna and Ben followed grandma inside and went to their room. They opened their bags and started to unpack. Anna took out her doll and her dress. Ben took out his car and his ball. They put their things on the bed and the floor.
+
+But then, Ben saw something shiny in Anna's bag. It was a spark. It was a necklace that mom gave Anna for her birthday. It had a little star that sparkled in the light. Ben liked the spark. He wanted to touch it and play with it.
+
+He reached for the spark, but Anna saw him and said, "No, Ben. That's mine. Don't touch it. It's special."
+
+Ben did not listen. He grabbed the spark and pulled it out of the bag. But he pulled too hard and the spark broke. The star fell off the necklace and rolled under the bed. Anna gasped and cried, "Ben, you broke it! You broke my spark! Mom will be mad at me. I don't like you!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break the spark. He wanted to make Anna happy. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry I broke your spark. I was curious. I wanted to see it. Please don't be mad at me. Please don't cry."
+
+Anna looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She knew that he was her brother and he loved her. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you didn't mean it. I love you. But we have to find the star. Maybe we can fix the spark."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I love you too, Anna. Let's find the star. Maybe grandma can help us fix the spark."
+
+They hugged and wiped their tears. Then they looked under the bed and found the star. They took the spark and the star to grandma and asked her to help them. Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, my dears. Let me see what I can do. I'm sure we can fix the spark and make it shine again."
+Lily and Max were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. Lily was gifted. She could make up stories and songs with her dolls. Max was not gifted. He liked to break things and make noise.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her new doll. She gave her a name and a dress. She sang to her and made her dance. Max saw Lily and her doll. He wanted to play too. He grabbed the doll from Lily and threw it on the floor.
+
+"Max, no!" Lily cried. "You broke my doll!"
+
+Max laughed. He did not care. He slapped Lily on the face. Lily felt pain and tears. She ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Lily said. "Max broke my doll and slapped me!"
+
+Mom heard Lily and came to their room. She saw the broken doll and the red mark on Lily's face. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Max, how could you do that?" Mom said. "You hurt your sister and her doll. That was not nice. That was bad."
+
+Max felt scared. He knew he did something wrong. He tried to hide under the bed. But Mom found him and took him out.
+
+"Max, you need to say sorry to Lily and give her a hug," Mom said. "And you need to help me fix her doll. And you need to go to time out for a while. You need to learn to be kind and gentle."
+
+Max did not want to do those things. But he had no choice. He said sorry to Lily and gave her a hug. He helped Mom fix the doll. He went to time out. He felt sorry and bored.
+
+Lily felt better. She hugged her doll and Mom. She thanked them for helping her. She was happy and grateful.
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged Lily and Max. She loved them both. She hoped they would learn to get along and share. She gave them a kiss and said, "You are both my gifted children. And I want you to be safe and happy."
+Lily and Ben were happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the big animals, like the lions and the elephants. They got in the car and drove to the zoo.
+
+When they got there, they saw a big sign that said "Zoo". They ran to the gate and gave their tickets to the man. He smiled and said, "Have fun, kids!"
+
+They went inside and saw many animals. They saw monkeys, giraffes, penguins, and bears. They liked them all, but they wanted to see the lions and the elephants the most.
+
+They followed the signs to the lion cage. They saw a big lion with a mane. He was lying on the ground, sleeping. Lily and Ben were disappointed. They wanted to see him rise and roar.
+
+"Mom, Dad, can we make him wake up?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, honey, we can't. He is tired. We have to be quiet and respectful," Mom said.
+
+"But I want to see him rise and roar!" Ben said. He started to cry.
+
+"Shh, Ben, don't cry. Maybe he will wake up later. Let's go see the elephants first," Dad said.
+
+He took Ben by the hand and led him away. Lily followed them. She hoped the elephants would be more fun. She hoped the lion would rise and roar when they came back. She loved the zoo, but she wanted to see more.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big ball on the roof of the house. They wanted to get the ball.
+
+"Let's use the ladder," Tim said. He pointed to the ladder by the shed.
+
+"No, it's too high. We might fall," Lily said. She was scared of the roof.
+
+"Come on, it's fun. I'll go first," Tim said. He urged Lily to follow him. He ran to the ladder and climbed up.
+
+Lily watched him go. She did not want to go, but she did not want to be alone. She followed him slowly.
+
+Tim reached the roof and grabbed the ball. He threw it to Lily. "Catch!" he shouted.
+
+Lily caught the ball, but she lost her balance. She slipped on the roof and screamed. She was hanging from the edge.
+
+"Help! Help!" she cried.
+
+Tim saw her and dropped the ball. He ran to her and tried to pull her up. He was scared too.
+
+"Tim, Lily, what are you doing?" a voice yelled. It was Mom. She saw them on the roof and was angry and worried. She came out of the house and got the ladder. She climbed up and helped Lily and Tim down.
+
+She hugged them and scolded them. "You could have been hurt. You should never go on the roof. It's dangerous. Why did you do that?"
+
+"We wanted the ball," Tim said.
+
+"It's not worth it. The ball is not important. You are important. You have to be careful and listen to me," Mom said.
+
+She took them inside and gave them some juice. She told them to stay away from the roof. She was glad they were safe.
+
+The ball was still on the roof. It was bright and shiny in the sun. But no one wanted it anymore.
+Anna was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. But today, she had to go to a new school. She was scared.
+
+She held her mom's hand as they walked to the school. She saw many kids running and laughing. She saw a big door with a sign that said "Kindergarten". She saw a lady with a smile and a key.
+
+"Hello, I'm Mrs. Lee, your teacher. Welcome to Kindergarten, Anna!" the lady said. She opened the door with the key and invited them in.
+
+Anna hid behind her mom. She did not want to go in. She saw many toys and books and pictures, but she also saw many new faces. She felt shy.
+
+"Anna, don't be shy. This is a fun place. You will make many friends here. Look, this is Lily. She is shy too. Maybe you can play with her." Mrs. Lee said. She pointed to a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. The girl was sitting on a mat with a doll.
+
+Lily looked at Anna and smiled. She waved her hand. Anna looked at Lily and smiled back. She let go of her mom's hand and walked to the mat.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" Lily asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna." Anna answered.
+
+"Do you like dolls?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Do you?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. This is my doll. Her name is Daisy. What's your doll's name?" Lily asked.
+
+Anna looked at her doll. She had not given her a name yet. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "Her name is Rosie."
+
+"Rosie is a pretty name. Do you want to play with me and Daisy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Thank you." Anna said.
+
+Anna and Lily played with their dolls. They talked and laughed. They forgot to be shy. They became friends. Anna was happy. She liked Kindergarten. She liked Mrs. Lee. She liked Lily. She liked her doll Rosie. She was not scared anymore.
+Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, clothes and books, but she was never happy. She liked to destroy things when she was angry or bored. She broke her dolls, ripped her books and threw her clothes on the floor.
+
+One day, her mom took her to the salon for a haircut. Lily did not want a haircut. She liked her long, curly hair. She cried and screamed and kicked in the car. Her mom tried to calm her down, but Lily did not listen.
+
+When they arrived at the salon, Lily saw a lady with scissors and a comb. She was scared and ran away. She hid under a table and grabbed a magazine. She tore the pages and threw them in the air. She laughed and said, "I destroy, I destroy!"
+
+The lady with the scissors and the comb saw Lily and said, "Oh no, what are you doing? That's not nice. You are making a mess. Come here, let me give you a haircut. It will make you look pretty and neat."
+
+Lily did not want to go with the lady. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want a haircut. I like my hair. Go away, go away!" She threw the magazine at the lady and hit her in the face.
+
+The lady was angry and sad. She said, "You are a very spoiled and rude girl. You need to learn to respect other people and their things. You can't destroy everything you see. You need to apologize and clean up your mess."
+
+Lily did not apologize or clean up. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, let's go home. I don't like this place. I don't like this lady. I don't like haircuts."
+
+Her mom was disappointed and ashamed. She said, "Lily, you are in big trouble. You have been very naughty and mean. You have to say sorry to the lady and help her pick up the papers. You have to get a haircut and behave yourself. You have to learn to be grateful and kind."
+
+Lily did not want to do any of that. She pouted and crossed her arms. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to!"
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, you are making me very sad. You are not a good girl. You are a spoiled girl who destroys things. You need to change your attitude and your actions. Or else, you will lose all your toys, clothes and books. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily did not understand. She did not care. She said, "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!"
+
+Her mom shook her head and said, "Lily, you are breaking my heart. You are making me very mad. You have to care, you have to care, you have to care!"
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make it their secret fort. They cut a hole for a window and drew pictures on the walls. They brought some toys and snacks inside.
+
+"Let's pretend we are on a spaceship," Ben said. "We can go to the moon and see the stars."
+
+"Okay," Anna said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad don't know we are here."
+
+They closed the box and turned on a flashlight. They made noises like a rocket and imagined they were flying. They had fun for a while, but then they got bored.
+
+"I want to go outside," Anna said. "It's too dark and stuffy in here."
+
+"No, we can't," Ben said. "We have to stay in our fort. It's more fun."
+
+"But I want to see the sun and the flowers," Anna said. "And I'm hungry. Maybe Mom made cookies."
+
+Ben did not want to leave. He liked the box. He wanted to keep playing. He thought of a way to make Anna stay.
+
+"Anna, you can't go outside," he said. "There is a big monster out there. He will eat you if he sees you. He has sharp teeth and claws and he is very hungry."
+
+Anna was scared. She did not want to be eaten by a monster. She believed Ben. She stayed in the box and cried.
+
+Ben was happy. He had the box to himself. He did not care that Anna was sad. He kept playing.
+
+After a while, Mom came to the garage. She heard Anna crying and Ben laughing. She opened the box and saw them.
+
+"What are you doing in here?" she asked. "Why is Anna crying?"
+
+Ben was afraid. He knew he did something bad. He tried to lie.
+
+"Anna is crying because she misses you," he said. "She wanted to see you, but I told her to stay in the box. I'm sorry."
+
+Mom did not believe him. She saw the hole and the flashlight. She knew he was lying.
+
+"Ben, that is not true," she said. "You lied to Anna. You told her there was a monster outside. You scared her and made her stay in the box. That was very mean and selfish. You hurt her feelings. How would you like it if someone did that to you?"
+
+Ben felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He looked at Anna. She was still crying. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," he said. "I lied to you. There is no monster outside. I just wanted to play in the box. I was not nice to you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna looked at him. She saw he was sorry. She forgave him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I forgive you. But don't lie to me again. Lying is bad. It makes people sad and angry. We should tell the truth and be kind to each other."
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She hugged them both.
+
+"That's right," she said. "Lying is bad. Truth and kindness are good. They make people happy and friends. I'm proud of you for saying sorry and forgiving. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They left the box and followed Mom. They learned their lesson. They never lied to each other again. They played together and shared their toys and snacks. They were happy and friends.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big box of toys in Tim's room. One day, they find a toy gun and a toy fan in the box. They want to play with them.
+
+Tim takes the toy gun and says, "I am a cowboy. I can shoot bad guys." He points the toy gun at Sam and makes a loud noise. "Bang! Bang!"
+
+Sam takes the toy fan and says, "I am a superhero. I can fly with my fan." He holds the toy fan in front of his face and makes a whooshing noise. "Whoosh! Whoosh!"
+
+They run around the room, pretending to shoot and fly. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tim's mom comes in. She sees the toy gun and the toy fan. She is not happy. She says, "Boys, stop playing with those toys. They are not yours. They are your sister's. She got them for her birthday. You have to give them back."
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They do not want to give back the toys. They like them. They say, "But mom, they are fun. Can we keep them?"
+
+Tim's mom says, "No, you cannot keep them. They are for your sister. She is coming home soon. You have to say sorry to her and give her the toys. And you have to play with your own toys. They are in the box."
+
+Tim and Sam say sorry to Tim's mom. They put the toy gun and the toy fan back in the box. They look for their own toys. They find a yellow ball and a yellow car. They say, "Maybe we can play with these. They are yellow. We like yellow."
+
+They start to play with the yellow ball and the yellow car. They roll them and bounce them. They have fun again. They forget about the toy gun and the toy fan. They are happy.
+Jill was a shy girl who did not like to share her toys. She had many dolls and cars and books, but she kept them all in her room. She did not let her brother Jack or her friends play with them. She said they would spoil her toys and make them dirty or broken.
+
+One day, Jill's mom told her that they were going to visit her aunt and cousins. Jill was not happy. She did not like her cousins. They were loud and messy and always wanted to touch her things. She packed her favorite doll in her bag and hid it under her coat. She did not want anyone to see it.
+
+When they arrived at her aunt's house, Jill's mom told her to be nice and play with her cousins. Jill nodded, but she did not mean it. She went to the living room and sat on the couch. She held her doll close to her chest and did not look at anyone. Her cousins tried to talk to her and invite her to join their games, but she ignored them. She thought they were silly and rude.
+
+Jill's mom saw that Jill was not having fun. She felt sorry for her. She went to the couch and whispered in her ear. "Jill, why don't you share your doll with your cousins? They would love to see it and play with it. Maybe they have some dolls too, and you can make friends with them. Sharing is caring, you know."
+
+Jill shook her head. She did not want to share her doll. She loved her doll more than anything. She thought her mom did not understand. She said, "No, mom. They will spoil my doll. They will pull her hair and rip her dress and draw on her face. They will make her ugly and sad. I don't want that. She is mine, and I want to keep her."
+
+Jill's mom sighed. She did not know what to do. She decided to let Jill be for a while. She hoped she would change her mind later. She went to the kitchen to help her aunt with the snacks.
+
+Jill was happy that her mom left her alone. She hugged her doll and smiled. She thought she was smart and clever. She thought she had a secret that no one knew. But she was wrong.
+
+While she was sitting on the couch, a big black cat jumped on the window sill. The cat saw the doll and thought it was a toy. The cat was curious and playful. The cat wanted to have some fun. The cat leaped from the window to the couch and landed on Jill's head. Jill screamed and dropped her doll. The cat grabbed the doll and ran away.
+
+Jill was shocked and scared. She cried and shouted. She wanted her doll back. She ran after the cat, but the cat was too fast and agile. The cat ran to the backyard and climbed a tree. The cat sat on a branch and bit the doll's head. The doll's head came off and fell to the ground.
+
+Jill saw what happened and sobbed. She was heartbroken and angry. She blamed the cat and her cousins and her mom. She said, "It's not fair! It's not fair! My doll is spoiled! My doll is ruined! I hate this place! I hate everyone!"
+
+Jill's mom heard her cries and came to the backyard. She saw the cat and the doll and understood what happened. She felt sad and sorry for Jill. She went to Jill and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Jill, I'm so sorry. I know how much you loved your doll. But you know, things are not as important as people. You can always get a new doll, but you can't get a new family or friends. Maybe if you had shared your doll with your cousins, they would have helped you protect it from the cat. Maybe if you had been more friendly and open, you would have had more fun and less trouble. Maybe you should try to be less shy and more kind. What do you think?"
+
+Jill looked at her mom and thought about what she said. She realized that her mom was right. She had been selfish and rude. She had missed a chance to make new friends and have new experiences. She had learned a hard lesson. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. You are right. I was wrong. I want to be better. I want to share and care. Can we go and say sorry to my cousins and play with them?"
+
+Jill's mom smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course, we can. I'm proud of you, Jill. Come on, let's go."
+
+Jill and her mom went back to the house. Jill found her cousins and apologized to them. She asked them if they wanted to play with her. Her cousins forgave her and welcomed her. They showed
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with books. They have many books in their room. Some books have pictures, some books have stories, some books have words.
+
+One day, Tom finds a big book on the shelf. It is a dictionary. It has many words and letters. Tom likes to look at the words and letters. He thinks they are fun.
+
+Lily sees Tom with the dictionary. She wants to play with it too. She asks Tom to join her. She says, "Tom, can I see the dictionary? Can we play with it together?"
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. This is my book. You cannot see it. You cannot play with it. Go away."
+
+Lily is sad. She does not like Tom's answer. She thinks Tom is mean. She says, "Tom, why are you mean? The dictionary is not your book. It is for everyone. We can share it. We can learn new words and letters. Please, let me join you."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. The dictionary is too big for you. You are too small. You are too thin. You cannot hold it. You cannot read it. You do not know anything. Go away."
+
+Lily is angry. She does not like Tom's words. She thinks Tom is wrong. She says, "Tom, you are not nice. The dictionary is not too big for me. I am not too small. I am not too thin. I can hold it. I can read it. I know many things. You go away."
+
+Tom and Lily start to fight. They pull and push the dictionary. They yell and cry. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Tom and Lily fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making noise? Stop it right now."
+
+Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "What is this book? Why do you want it so much?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "It is a dictionary. It has words and letters. We want to play with it."
+
+Mom says, "A dictionary is a good book. It can help you learn new words and letters. But it is not a toy. It is not for fighting. It is for sharing. If you want to play with it, you have to be gentle and kind. You have to take turns and help each other. You have to join and cooperate. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand."
+
+Mom says, "Good. Now, say sorry to each other. And then, you can join me in the kitchen. I have a surprise for you. It is a cake. It has your names on it. It is for your birthday."
+
+Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Lily. Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love cake. We love our birthday."
+
+Tom and Lily hug each other. They hug Mom. They take the dictionary with them. They go to the kitchen. They join Mom. They eat the cake. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, don't be a baby. I dare you to go on the slide with me. It will be fun!" Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom, it is too high and too fast. I don't want to go on the slide. It is not safe. We should be careful." Lily said.
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He sat on the top and smiled. He looked down and saw Lily watching him.
+
+"Look at me, Lily. I am brave. I am going to slide down. Are you ready?" Tom said.
+
+He pushed himself and slid down the slide. But he did not see a file on the slide. Someone had left it there by mistake. The file was sharp and metal. It cut Tom's leg as he slid down. Tom screamed and cried. He felt a lot of pain.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She saw the blood on his leg and the file on the slide. She was very sad and scared.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom. You are hurt. We need to get help. Let me get a grown-up." Lily said.
+
+She ran to find a grown-up. She found a lady who was sitting on a bench. She told her what happened. The lady was kind and helped Tom. She wrapped his leg with a cloth and called his mom. She also took the file and threw it in the trash.
+
+Tom's mom came and took him to the doctor. The doctor cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it. He gave Tom a sticker and a lollipop. He told Tom to be more careful next time.
+
+Tom learned his lesson. He said sorry to Lily and thanked her for being a good friend. He also said sorry to the lady and his mom. He realized that being brave is not the same as being foolish. He decided to listen to Lily more often and to be more careful in the park. He and Lily played together again, but they avoided the slide. They had fun with other toys and games. They were happy and safe.
+Lila and her dog Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and chase each other on the grass. Lila wore a red jacket with a zipper. She always zipped it up when it was cold.
+
+"Come on, Max, let's go to the swings!" Lila said. She ran to the big metal swings and climbed on one. Max followed her and barked happily. He sat under the swing and watched Lila go up and down.
+
+Lila swung higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and shouted, "Wee! This is fun!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lila's zipper got caught on the chain of the swing. She tried to pull it free, but it was stuck. She felt scared and cried, "Help! Help!"
+
+Max heard Lila's cry and ran to her. He saw the zipper and the chain. He knew he had to help Lila. He jumped and bit the zipper with his teeth. He pulled and pulled until the zipper broke. Lila was free!
+
+Lila hugged Max and said, "Thank you, Max! You are my hero! You are the best and most loyal dog in the world!"
+
+Max licked Lila's face and wagged his tail. He was happy to see Lila smile. He blinked his eyes and said, "Woof! Woof!"
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a rod near the pond. It is long and shiny.
+
+"Look, a rod!" Tim says. "Maybe we can catch a fish."
+
+"Or a frog!" Sam says. "Let's try."
+
+They take the rod and put a worm on the hook. They throw the rod into the water and wait. They see bubbles and ripples.
+
+"Something is biting!" Tim says. He pulls the rod hard. He hopes it is a big fish.
+
+But it is not a fish. It is a red pepper. It is spicy and hot.
+
+"Whoa!" Tim says. He drops the rod and the pepper. He feels his tongue burn.
+
+Sam laughs. He sees a man behind a bush. The man has a string and a basket. He is joking with them.
+
+"Ha ha, got you!" the man says. "That was a funny joke, right?"
+
+Tim and Sam are not happy. They do not like the joke. They do not like the man. They do not like the pepper.
+
+They run away from the pond. They look for water and ice. They do not want to play with the rod anymore.

+They dream of their birthday. They think of the cake, the ice cream, the gifts and the games. They think of their family and friends. They smile. They have a treat. They love their birthday.
+Lily was sad. She had a big hurt on her knee. She fell down when she was playing with her bike. Mommy put a band-aid on it, but it still hurt a lot.
+
+"Can I have some ice cream, Mommy?" Lily asked. She hoped ice cream would make her feel better.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. It's almost time for dinner. How about you wear your new shirt instead? The one with the flowers and the butterflies. It's very pretty, just like you." Mommy said.
+
+Lily looked at her new shirt. She liked it, but she was not in the mood to change. She wanted to stay in her pajamas and cuddle with her teddy bear.
+
+"I don't want to wear it, Mommy. It's too hard to put on. And it might get dirty." Lily said.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged Lily. "I know you can do it, Lily. You are a big girl. And you are very smart and brave. Remember when you learned how to ride your bike? You didn't give up, even when you fell down. You tried again and again, until you could do it. That's what I call courage. And courage is more important than a hurt knee or a dirty shirt." Mommy said.
+
+Lily thought about what Mommy said. She remembered how happy she felt when she rode her bike for the first time. She wanted to be courageous, like Mommy said. She decided to try on her new shirt.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. I will wear it. But can you help me a little?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, I will help you, Lily. I'm always here for you. And I'm very proud of you." Mommy said.
+
+They went to Lily's room and put on the new shirt. It was not too hard, after all. And it looked very nice on Lily. She smiled and twirled in front of the mirror.
+
+"Wow, you look beautiful, Lily. And you know what? You are beautiful inside, too. Because you have a big heart and a strong spirit. And those are the things that really matter." Mommy said.
+
+Lily hugged Mommy and thanked her. She felt better, even though her knee still hurt a little. She learned that Mommy was right. Courage is more important than a hurt knee or a dirty shirt. And Mommy was always there to encourage her.
+Jill and Ben like to play in the kitchen. They wear aprons to keep their clothes clean. They have pots and pans and spoons and cups. They pretend to cook and eat.
+
+One day, they find a big bowl of water on the table. Jill says, "Let's splash the water!" Ben says, "Yes, let's splash!" They take the spoons and cups and dip them in the water. They splash the water on the table, on the floor, on the walls, and on each other. They laugh and giggle.
+
+But they do not hear Mom coming. Mom is deaf. She cannot hear the noise. She only sees the mess. She sees the water everywhere. She sees the wet aprons. She sees the wet pots and pans and spoons and cups. She sees the wet Jill and Ben.
+
+She is very angry. She says, "What are you doing? Look at this mess! You are in big trouble!" Jill and Ben stop splashing. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing." Mom says, "Playing? This is not playing. This is making a mess. You have to clean up. Now!" Jill and Ben say, "Yes, Mom." They take the towels and the mop. They start to clean up. They are not happy. They wish they had not splashed the water.
+Tom and Lily were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and see new things. One day, they went to the beach with their mom and dad. They saw the big blue sea and the white sand. They saw many fish and shells and crabs.
+
+"Can we go in the water, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Only a little bit, and stay close to us," mom said. "The water can be deep and dangerous."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the water. They splashed and played and laughed. They saw a big rock and decided to climb on it. They wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+They managed to get on top of the rock and looked around. They saw something amazing. They saw a huge whale. It was bigger than their house. It had a black and white body and a big tail. It was swimming slowly and making loud noises.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said.
+
+"It's a whale, Tom! A whale!" Lily said.
+
+They were so excited and curious. They wanted to see the whale closer. They forgot what mom and dad said. They jumped off the rock and swam towards the whale.
+
+"Tom, Lily, come back!" mom and dad shouted. "It's too far, it's too dangerous!"
+
+But Tom and Lily did not hear them. They were too busy following the whale. They thought the whale was friendly and wanted to play with them. They did not know that the whale could hurt them or that there could be other things in the water that could harm them.
+
+They swam and swam until they were very far from the shore. They did not see mom and dad or the rock anymore. They only saw the whale and the sea. They were lost and scared. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they listened to mom and dad. They wondered how they would get back. They hoped the whale would help them. They hoped mom and dad would find them. They hoped they would be safe.
+Anna and Ben love to bake with Mom. Mom has a big book with many menus. She lets Anna and Ben pick one menu each. Anna picks a menu with pretty cupcakes. Ben picks a menu with yummy cookies.
+
+Mom helps Anna and Ben to get the things they need. They need flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, and more. They mix and stir and pour and scoop. They put the cupcakes and cookies in the oven. They wait and smell the sweet air.
+
+Ding! The oven makes a sound. Mom says, "They are ready!" She takes out the cupcakes and cookies. They are hot and soft and brown. Anna and Ben are happy. They put frosting and sprinkles on the cupcakes. They put chocolate chips on the cookies.
+
+Mom says, "You did a great job, Anna and Ben! You are good bakers!" Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom! We love you!" They hug Mom and give her a cupcake and a cookie. They share the rest with Dad and Sam, their baby brother. They all enjoy the tasty treats. They have a fun and cozy afternoon.
+Lila liked to dance. She danced at home, at school, and in the park. She danced with her friends, her family, and her toys. She danced when she was happy, sad, or bored. She loved to dance.
+
+One day, her teacher told her that she could dance at the temple. The temple was a big and beautiful place where people prayed and sang. Lila was very excited. She wanted to dance at the temple and make everyone happy.
+
+She practiced her dance every day. She wore a pretty dress and a shiny necklace. She waited for her turn to dance. She saw many people in the temple. They looked at her and smiled. She felt nervous, but also proud.
+
+She started to dance. She moved her arms, her legs, and her hips. She spun, jumped, and twirled. She danced with all her heart. She heard the music and the claps. She saw the lights and the flowers. She felt happy and free.
+
+But then, she tripped. She fell on the floor. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She dropped her necklace. She heard a loud noise. She saw everyone looking at her. She felt scared and ashamed.
+
+She wanted to cry. She wanted to run away. She wanted to hide. She felt like a bad dancer. She felt like a bad girl.
+
+But then, she saw her teacher. Her teacher came to her and helped her up. Her teacher hugged her and kissed her. Her teacher said, "You did great, Lila. You are a wonderful dancer. You are a brave girl. Don't be ashamed. Accidents happen. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone still loves you. I am very proud of you."
+
+Lila looked at her teacher. She looked at the people. They smiled at her and clapped for her. They said, "Good job, Lila. You are amazing. You are beautiful. You are a star."
+
+Lila smiled back at them. She felt better. She felt loved. She felt happy. She thanked her teacher and the people. She picked up her necklace and put it on. She danced again. She danced with joy. She loved to dance.
+Lila liked to fly. She had a big balloon that she tied to her waist. It made her feel light and happy. She also liked to play her flute. It was a gift from her grandma. It made a pretty sound when she blew into it.
+
+One day, Lila went to the park with her balloon and her flute. She saw a big tree with a rough bark. She wanted to see what was on top of it. She flew up with her balloon and landed on a branch. She looked around and saw birds and squirrels and flowers. She smiled and took out her flute. She played a song for the animals.
+
+But she did not see the big hole in the branch. It was hidden by some leaves. When she moved her foot, the branch broke and she fell down. Her balloon popped on a sharp twig. Her flute flew out of her hand and landed far away. She screamed and cried.
+
+"Help! Help!" she shouted.
+
+A man heard her and ran to her. He picked her up and checked if she was hurt. She had some scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, little girl. I'm here to help you. What's your name?"
+
+"Lila," she sobbed.
+
+"Where are your parents, Lila?" he asked.
+
+"I don't know. I came here alone. I wanted to fly and play my flute," she said.
+
+The man frowned and said, "That was very naughty, Lila. You should never go to the park alone. You could have been hurt badly or lost. And you should never fly with a balloon. It's very dangerous. And you should never play your flute near a tree. It could scare the animals or break your flute. You were very lucky, Lila. But you also lost your balloon and your flute. How do you feel now?"
+
+Lila felt very sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to her grandma, who always told her to be careful and stay with her. She wished she had her balloon and her flute back. She wished she had never flown to the tree. She said, "I feel bad. I'm sorry. I want to go home."
+
+The man nodded and said, "I'll take you home, Lila. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never do this again. You have to promise me that you will always obey your grandma and stay safe. Do you promise, Lila?"
+
+Lila nodded and said, "I promise. I promise."
+
+The man took her hand and walked with her to his car. He drove her to her house and knocked on the door. Grandma opened it and saw Lila. She gasped and said, "Lila! What happened to you? Where have you been?"
+
+The man told her everything. Grandma was shocked and angry and sad. She thanked the man and took Lila inside. She scolded her and hugged her and put a bandage on her wounds. She said, "Lila, you are very naughty and very lucky. You could have died today. You made me very worried and very sad. You also lost your balloon and your flute. They were very special and very hard to replace. How do you feel now?"
+
+Lila felt very ashamed and very sorry. She cried and said, "I feel bad. I'm sorry. I love you, Grandma."
+
+Grandma said, "I love you too, Lila. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be more careful and more responsible. You have to respect the rules and the dangers. You have to be more grateful and more careful with your things. Do you understand, Lila?"
+
+Lila said, "I understand, Grandma. I'm sorry. I'll try to be better."
+
+Grandma said, "I hope so, Lila. I hope so." She kissed her and tucked her in bed. She said, "Good night, Lila. Sleep well."
+
+Lila said, "Good night, Grandma. Thank you."
+
+She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But she could not. She missed her balloon and her flute. She missed flying and playing. She missed being happy. She felt bad. She felt very bad.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the snow. They wear hats and coats and mittens. They make a snowman and a snow fort. They have fun.
+
+But then a big dog comes. The dog is not friendly. The dog barks and runs at them. Tom and Sue are scared. They run to the snow fort. The dog follows them.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouts. "You are bad!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. The dog jumps on the snow fort. The snow fort falls down. Tom and Sue are under the snow. They cannot breathe. They cannot see. They cannot hear.
+
+The dog wags his tail. He thinks he is playing. He digs in the snow. He finds a mitten. He bites the mitten. He does not know that the mitten is on Sue's hand. Sue feels pain. She cries.
+
+But no one hears her. No one sees her. No one helps her. Tom and Sue do not wake up. They are gone. The dog is alone. He is sad. He does not understand. He is sorry.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bird with red and blue feathers on a tree. It looked very pretty and wild.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it will bite us," Ben said.
+
+But Lily was curious and brave. She walked closer to the tree and reached out her hand. She wanted to request the bird to let her touch it.
+
+"Hello, bird. You are so pretty. Can I touch you?" she said softly.
+
+The bird looked at Lily and tilted its head. It seemed to like her voice. It moved closer to her hand and let her touch its feathers. They felt soft and smooth.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, bird. You are very nice."
+
+Ben watched from a distance and felt jealous. He wanted to touch the bird too. He ran to the tree and grabbed the bird's tail. He pulled it hard.
+
+"Ow!" the bird cried. It was angry and scared. It pecked Ben's hand and flew away.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried too. He dropped the bird's tail and held his hand. It was bleeding and hurt.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and said, "Why did you do that? You were mean to the bird. You should have asked nicely like me."
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, bird. I was wrong. I should have been gentle and polite."
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to learn to respect wild animals. They are not toys. They have feelings too."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "You are right, Lily. I have learned my lesson. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. We are always friends. Come on, let's go and find a band-aid for your hand."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play near the lake. They had a small boat that their dad made for them. It was red and blue and had a sail with a star on it. They thought it was the most beautiful boat in the world.
+
+One day, they decided to take their boat to the lake and sail it. They put on their life jackets and got into the boat. They pushed it into the water and held the rope. The wind blew the sail and the boat moved fast.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed.
+
+They sailed their boat for a while, enjoying the sun and the water. They saw some ducks and fish and waved at them. They were very happy.
+
+But then, they saw a big rock in the water. It was right in front of their boat. They tried to steer away from it, but the wind was too strong. They were scared.
+
+"Tom, what do we do?" Lily asked.
+
+"Trust me, Lily. I have an idea." Tom said.
+
+He let go of the rope and jumped out of the boat. He swam to the rock and pushed the boat away from it. He saved the boat from crashing.
+
+"Tom, you did it!" Lily cheered.
+
+She pulled him back into the boat and hugged him. He was wet and cold, but he smiled.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to scare you." He said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. You are brave and smart. I trust you." She said.
+
+They sailed their boat back to the shore and dried themselves. They thanked their boat for the adventure and put it away. They ran to their mom and dad and told them what happened. They were proud of Tom and Lily and gave them a big hug. They said they were the most beautiful twins in the world.
+Tim and Mia are playing in the forest. They like to pretend they are animals and hunters. Tim is a lion and Mia is a hunter. She has a stick for a gun and a hat for a cap.
+
+"Roar!" Tim says, jumping out from behind a tree. "I am a big lion and I will eat you!"
+
+Mia laughs and points her stick at him. "Bang! Bang! You are a silly lion and I will catch you!"
+
+They run and chase each other, having fun. But then Tim sees a real hunter. He has a real gun and a real cap. He is looking for animals to shoot.
+
+Tim is scared. He runs to Mia and whispers in her ear. "Mia, there is a real hunter. He is bad. He will hurt us. We have to hide."
+
+Mia nods. She is scared too. They look for a place to hide. They see a big bush. They crawl under it and stay very quiet.
+
+The hunter walks by. He does not see them. He sees a bird on a branch. He aims his gun at it.
+
+"Please, don't shoot me!" the bird says. "I have a nest and eggs. I have a family. It is not fair!"
+
+The hunter does not care. He pulls the trigger. But nothing happens. His gun is broken.
+
+The bird flies away. It is safe.
+
+Tim and Mia peek out from the bush. They see the hunter. He is angry. He throws his gun on the ground. He stomps his feet.
+
+Tim and Mia feel sorry for the bird. They do not like the hunter. They want to teach him a lesson.
+
+They sneak out from the bush. They creep behind the hunter. They pinch his legs.
+
+"Ow! Ow! What is that?" the hunter says. He turns around. He sees Tim and Mia. They are smiling.
+
+"We are the animals and you are the hunter!" Tim says. "We pinched you because you are mean. You should not shoot birds. It is not fair!"
+
+The hunter is surprised. He feels ashamed. He picks up his gun. He puts on his cap. He walks away.
+
+Tim and Mia cheer. They hug each other. They are happy. They saved the bird. They are brave.
+
+They go back to playing. They are animals and hunters. But they are good. They do not hurt anyone. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the animals. They packed their bags with snacks, water, and toys. Mom and dad helped them load the bags in the car.
+
+"Are we ready to go?" dad asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben shouted.
+
+They got in the car and buckled their seats. Dad started the car and drove to the road. But there was a problem. There were too many cars on the road. They were stuck in traffic.
+
+"Oh no, what is this?" mom said.
+
+"Traffic, traffic, traffic!" Lily and Ben repeated.
+
+They looked out the window and saw many cars, buses, trucks, and bikes. They were all moving very slowly or not at all. Some people were honking their horns. Some people were talking on their phones. Some people looked angry or bored.
+
+"Why is there so much traffic?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe there is an accident or a road work ahead," dad said. "Or maybe there are too many people who want to go to the zoo."
+
+Lily and Ben saw a big sign that said "Zoo". They also saw a big gate with a ticket booth. There was a long line of cars waiting to enter the zoo.
+
+"Look, there is the zoo!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, but we have to wait for our turn," mom said.
+
+They waited and waited and waited. They ate some snacks and drank some water. They played with their toys and sang some songs. They tried to be patient and happy.
+
+Finally, they reached the gate. Dad gave some money to the man at the ticket booth. The man gave them some tickets and a map.
+
+"Thank you, have a nice day," the man said.

+"Thank you, you too," dad said.
+
+They drove into the zoo and parked the car. They got out of the car and unloaded their bags.
+
+"Wow, we made it!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Ben said.

+
+One day, Anna prints a picture of a big red barn. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, this is my ranch. It is very nice and big. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben likes the picture, but he is not honest. He wants to have the picture for himself. He says, "Yes, I like it. Can I have it, please?"
+
+Anna is surprised. She says, "No, you cannot have it. It is mine. I printed it. You can print your own picture."
+
+Ben is angry. He says, "No, I want your picture. It is better than mine. Give it to me, or I will not be your friend."
+
+Anna is sad. She does not want to lose her friend, but she does not want to give her picture. She says, "Ben, that is not nice. You are not honest. You should not take what is not yours. You should be happy with what you have. We can share our pictures and play together."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He realizes that Anna is right. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. You are right. I was not honest. I should not take your picture. I should be happy with what I have. Can we share our pictures and play together?"

+
+Tom and Mia go to Mom. Mom sees Tom's hand. She is worried. She is also mad. She cleans Tom's hand. She puts a bandage on it. She gives him a hug. She also gives him a scold.
+
+"Tom, what did you do? Why did you touch the wire? You know the wire is not original. You know the wire is dangerous. You know the wire can hurt you. You should listen to me. You should listen to Mia. She is a good sister. She is a smart sister. She cares for you. You should care for her too. You should be more careful. You should be more good. Do you understand?"

+
+Lily's mom sighs. She says, "Lily, you are being stubborn. You have to be flexible and try new things. Sometimes things change and we have to adapt. You might like the park if you give it a chance. And you might like the new gym when it opens. You have to be patient and positive." Lily says, "No, mom. I don't like change. I like the gym the way it is. I don't want to forget the gym."
+
+Lily's mom hugs her. She says, "Lily, you won't forget the gym. You will always remember the fun times you had there. And you will make new memories at the new gym. Change can be good, Lily.

+They took the comb and went to Sara's room. They combed their hair and put on some dresses and crowns. They felt very happy and pretty.
+
+"Let's show mom how we look," Sara said. "She will be proud of us."
+
+They ran to the living room, where Sara's mom was watching TV. They smiled and said, "Mom, look at us! We are princesses!"
+
+But Sara's mom did not smile. She looked angry and shocked. She saw the comb in Sara's hand and shouted, "Sara, what have you done? That is not a comb, that is a brooch! It belongs to grandma, and it is very old and expensive. You have broken it!"
+
+Sara and Lily did not know what a brooch was. They looked at the comb and saw that some of the colors had fallen off. They felt very scared and sad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry, we did not know," Sara said. "We just wanted to play."
+
+Sara's mom did not listen. She took the comb from Sara and said, "You are very naughty and careless. You have to mind what you touch. You have to go to your room and stay there. And you, Lily, you have to go home. I will call your mom and tell her what you did."
+
+Sara and Lily started to cry. They felt very embarrassed and sorry. They hugged each other and said goodbye. They wished they had never found the comb. They wished they could still be friends.
+Lily liked to look at herself in the mirror. She saw her long hair, her blue eyes, and her pink dress. She smiled and twirled around. She felt graceful, like a fairy.
+
+One day, she saw something new in the mirror. She saw a little bump on her belly. She touched it and wondered what it was. She asked her mom.
+
+Mom said, "That's your baby sister. She is growing inside you. She will come out soon and you will be a big sister."
+
+Lily was happy and curious. She wanted to meet her baby sister. She asked mom, "Will she look like me?"
+
+Mom said, "Maybe a little, maybe a lot. We don't know yet. But she will be beautiful and special, just like you."
+
+Lily hugged mom and said, "I love you and I love baby sister. I will be a good big sister. I will teach her how to be graceful and how to twirl in the mirror."
+Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a small shovel and a bucket to put their finds in.
+
+"Look, Sam, I found a big root!" Lily said, holding up a long brown thing. "It was under the grass. Maybe it is from a tree or a flower."
+
+"Wow, that is a great root, Lily!" Sam said, admiring it. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, here you go." Lily handed the root to Sam. He felt it with his fingers. It was hard and rough.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Sam asked. "Maybe we can plant it and grow something new."
+
+"OK, let's try that." Lily agreed. "But where should we plant it?"
+
+They looked around the garden. They saw a spot where there was no grass, only dirt. It was near the fence, where the sun shone.
+
+"Let's plant it there." Sam said, pointing to the spot. "It looks like a good place."
+
+They walked over to the spot and dug a hole with their shovel. They put the root in the hole and covered it with dirt. They patted it gently and gave it some water.
+
+"There, we planted the root." Lily said, smiling. "Maybe it will grow into something beautiful."
+
+"Maybe it will." Sam said, nodding. "And maybe we will gain a new friend."
+
+They hugged each other and went back to their digging. They hoped the root would be happy in its new home.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a big pipe near the fence. They are curious and want to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there are animals in the pipe," Sara says.
+
+"Or treasures," Ben says.
+
+They go near the pipe and peek inside. It is dark and wet. They hear a strange noise.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says.
+
+They see something move in the pipe. It is a big rat. It has sharp teeth and red eyes. It is angry and scared. It wants to get out of the pipe.
+
+"Help!" Sara and Ben scream.
+
+They run away from the pipe. They see a man with a hat and a bag. He is a rat catcher. He hears them scream and sees the rat in the pipe.
+
+"Don't worry, kids," he says. "I will catch the rat and release it in the woods. It will be happier there."
+
+He takes a big net and a stick. He goes to the pipe and puts the net over the opening. He pokes the stick inside and makes the rat come out. The rat is caught in the net. It squeaks and bites.
+
+"Gotcha!" the man says.
+
+He puts the net in his bag and closes it. He smiles at Sara and Ben.
+
+"Thank you, mister," Sara and Ben say.
+
+"You're welcome, kids," he says. "Be careful and don't play near the pipe. It is not safe."
+
+He walks away with his bag. Sara and Ben go back to the slide. They slide fast and have fun. They forget about the rat and the pipe. They are happy and safe.
+One day, Ben and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw many trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a squirrel. The squirrel was pale and had a big bushy tail. It was eating a nut on a branch.
+
+"Look, mom, a squirrel!" Ben said, pointing at the animal.
+
+"Yes, it's a squirrel. Do you remember what squirrels do?" mom asked.
+
+"They run and jump and hide nuts," Mia said.
+
+"That's right. They are very clever and fast. Do you want to feed the squirrel?" mom said, taking out some bread from her bag.
+
+"Yes, yes!" Ben and Mia said, excited.
+
+Mom broke the bread into small pieces and gave some to Ben and Mia. They walked slowly and quietly towards the squirrel. The squirrel saw them and stopped eating. It looked at them with its bright eyes.
+
+"Hello, squirrel. We have some bread for you. Do you want some?" Ben said softly, holding out his hand.
+
+The squirrel tilted its head and sniffed the air. It smelled the bread and felt curious. It jumped down from the branch and came closer to Ben. It took the bread from his hand and nibbled it. It made a happy sound.
+
+"Wow, it likes the bread. It's so cute," Mia said, smiling.
+
+She also offered some bread to the squirrel. The squirrel took it and ate it. It rubbed its nose against Mia's hand. It made another happy sound.
+
+"Thank you, squirrel. You are very nice," Mia said, petting the squirrel.
+
+The squirrel wagged its tail and looked at them. It seemed to say thank you too. Then it ran back to the tree and hid the rest of the bread in a hole. It waved its paw at them and disappeared.
+
+"Bye, squirrel. We hope to see you again," Ben and Mia said, waving back.
+
+They hugged mom and told her how much they liked the squirrel. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them for being gentle and kind. They had a fun day at the park. They always remembered the pale squirrel with the big bushy tail.

+One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They saw many animals there, like ducks, squirrels and rabbits. They wanted to feed them some bread, but mom said they had to be careful.
+
+"Some animals are wild and not friendly. They can bite or scratch you with their sharp teeth or claws. You have to stay away from them and only feed the ones that come to you," mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded and looked for friendly animals. They saw a big duck that quacked and waddled to them. They gave it some bread and it ate from their hands. They smiled and petted its soft feathers.
+

+
+The duck quacked again and nodded. It seemed to like Anna and Tom.

+
+"Stop it! Stop it!" their mom said. "You are breaking the law of the house. The law is to be nice and share with your brother and sister. If you don't, you will have to go to time out."
+
+Sara and Tom did not want to go to time out. They looked at their mom and then at their blocks. They felt sorry for fighting. They wanted to restore their blocks and their fun.

+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. The box is brown and has a lid.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom says. He is curious and brave.
+
+"Maybe we should not," Jen says. She is careful and shy. "It might belong to someone else. Or it might have something bad inside."
+
+Tom does not listen. He lifts the lid and looks inside. He sees a lot of shiny things. He sees coins and rings and necklaces. He sees a crown and a wand and a cape.
+
+"Wow!" Tom says. "This is treasure! We are rich!"
+
+He grabs the wand and the cape and puts them on. He feels like a king. He waves the wand and says, "I wish for more treasure!"
+
+But nothing happens. The wand is not magic. It is just a toy.
+
+Jen shakes her head. She does not want the treasure. She thinks it is wrong to take it. She sees a note on the tip of the box. The note says, "This is for the children's play. Please do not touch. Thank you."
+
+"Tom, look!" Jen says. She shows him the note. "This is not our treasure. This is for a play. We have to put it back."
+
+Tom feels sad and sorry. He takes off the cape and the wand. He helps Jen put the things back in the box. He closes the lid.
+
+"I'm sorry, Jen," Tom says. "I was silly and greedy. You were right. We should not have opened it."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Jen says. She smiles and hugs him. "You are still my friend. You are dependable. You always say sorry when you make a mistake."

+One day, Anna noticed that Spot was not eating his food and was making sad noises. She was worried about him and asked her mom, "Mom, what is wrong with Spot? He is not happy."
+
+Mom looked at Spot and said, "I think he is sick, Anna. He needs to see a veterinarian. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals feel better. We have to take him to the veterinarian today."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. Can I come with you and Spot?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Anna. You can help me carry Spot to the car. He is too heavy for me to carry by myself."
+
+Anna and Mom put a blanket on Spot and lifted him gently. They carried him to the car and put him in the back seat. Anna sat next to him and stroked his fur. She said, "Don't worry, Spot. The veterinarian will make you well again. I love you, Spot."

+
+"Look, Sara and Tom, we have a surprise for you too," grandma said. She took them to the window and pointed outside. There was a big sled with red ribbons and bells. "We made it for you. Do you want to try it?" she asked. Sara and Tom nodded eagerly. They put on their coats and hats and gloves and followed grandma and grandpa outside. The snow was white and icy and sparkled in the sun. They climbed on the sled and grandpa pushed them down the hill. They laughed and shouted as they slid fast and smooth. They felt the wind on their faces and the snowflakes on their noses. They had so much fun.

+They spent the whole week with grandma and grandpa. They played with the sled, made snowmen and snow angels, fed the chickens and the ducks, read stories and sang songs. They didn't miss the city at all. They loved the village and their grandparents. They wished they could stay longer. But they knew they had to go back soon. They promised to write letters and call often. They hugged and kissed them goodbye and thanked them for the wonderful time. They got on the train and waved until they couldn't see them anymore. They felt sad, but also happy. They knew they would see them again next winter. They missed them already.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big gray book in their dad's room. The book has many words and pictures. They think it is a fun book.
+
+They take the book to their room and look at it. They see a picture of a man in a suit. He has a name tag that says "Lawyer". They do not know what a lawyer is. They think he is a friend.
+
+They pretend to be lawyers. They wear their dad's ties and hats. They talk to each other like the man in the book.
+
+"Hello, Lawyer Ben," Sara says. "I have a case for you."
+
+"Hello, Lawyer Sara," Ben says. "What is your case?"
+
+Sara points to a doll. "This is my doll. She is sick. She needs a doctor."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, this is my doll. She is not sick. She is happy."
+
+They start to argue. They pull the doll from each other. They make loud noises.
+
+Their dad hears them. He comes to their room. He sees them fighting over the doll. He sees the book on the floor. He is angry.
+
+He takes the book from them. He takes the doll from them. He takes their ties and hats from them. He says, "This is my book. This is my lawyer book. You are not lawyers. You are naughty. You cannot play with my things. You have to go to bed now."
+
+He puts them in their beds. He turns off the light. He leaves the room.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. They want their toys. They want their book. They do not like their dad. They do not like lawyers. They do not like gray.
+Lily and Tom went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the monkey. The monkey was brown and furry, and it liked to swing on the ropes and make funny noises.
+
+"Look, Mom, the monkey is standing on one leg!" Lily said, pointing at the cage.
+
+"That's right, Lily, the monkey is very clever. It can balance on one leg and hold a banana with the other hand," Mom said.
+
+"Can I stand on one leg too, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom, you can try. But be careful, don't fall down," Mom said.
+
+Tom put down his toy car and tried to stand on one leg like the monkey. He lifted his right leg and held it with his right hand. He smiled and looked at the monkey.
+
+"Hi, monkey, I can stand on one leg too!" Tom said.
+
+The monkey looked at Tom and made a loud sound. It threw the banana peel at Tom and hit him on the head.
+
+"Ow, that hurts!" Tom said, falling down on the ground.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Mom asked, running to him.
+
+"I'm okay, Mom, but the monkey is mean. It threw a banana peel at me," Tom said, rubbing his head.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, the monkey was just playing. It didn't mean to hurt you," Mom said, hugging him.
+
+"Maybe the monkey was jealous of Tom," Lily said.
+
+"Jealous? What does that mean?" Tom asked.
+
+"It means the monkey wanted to be the only one who can stand on one leg," Lily said.
+
+"That's silly. I don't want to be the only one who can stand on one leg. I want to share with the monkey," Tom said.
+
+"That's very nice of you, Tom. Maybe next time the monkey will be nicer to you too," Mom said.
+
+"Can we go see the other animals now, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, let's go. But first, let's throw away the banana peel. We don't want to make a mess," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom picked up the banana peel and threw it in the trash can. Then they followed Mom and Dad to see the other animals. They had a lot of fun at the zoo. But they never forgot the monkey who could stand on one leg.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump on the grass. The grass is green and soft. Sometimes they see bugs and flowers on the grass.
+
+One day, they find a big ball on the grass. It is red and shiny. Sara and Ben want to play with the ball. They take turns to kick it and throw it. The ball bounces high and far.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can squeeze the ball!" Sara says. She holds the ball with both hands and presses hard. The ball makes a funny noise. Sara laughs.
+
+"Let me try, Sara!" Ben says. He takes the ball from Sara and squeezes it too. The ball makes another noise. Ben laughs.
+
+But then, the ball pops. It makes a loud bang. Sara and Ben are scared. The ball is broken. It has a hole in it. Air comes out of the hole. The ball gets smaller and smaller.
+
+"Oh no, what did we do?" Sara says. She feels sad. The ball is not theirs. Someone else left it on the grass. They should not have squeezed it.
+
+"Maybe we can fix it, Sara," Ben says. He is helpful. He looks around for something to cover the hole. He sees a leaf on the grass. He picks it up and puts it on the hole. He hopes it will work.
+
+But it does not work. The air still comes out of the hole. The leaf falls off. The ball is still broken.
+
+Sara and Ben do not know what to do. They are sorry. They wish they could find the owner of the ball and say sorry.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is a boy. He is looking for his ball. He sees Sara and Ben with his ball. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, that's my ball! What did you do to it?" he says. He runs to them and takes his ball. He sees the hole. He is sad.
+
+"We are sorry, we did not mean to break it," Sara says. She feels bad.
+
+"We were just playing with it, we did not know it was yours," Ben says. He feels bad too.
+
+The boy looks at them. He sees they are sorry. He is not angry anymore. He is kind.
+
+"It's okay, I forgive you," he says. He smiles. "Do you want to play with me? I have another ball. It is blue and soft. You can squeeze it and it will not pop."
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They say yes. They follow the boy to his blue ball. They play together on the grass. They are careful not to squeeze the ball too hard. They have fun. They make a new friend.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a big cage near the fence. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Sam says. He is brave and curious.
+
+"No, don't!" Ben says. He is scared and careful. "It might be something bad!"
+
+Sam does not listen. He pulls the cage door. It is tough and rusty. He tries harder. He makes a loud noise.
+
+Suddenly, a big rat jumps out of the cage. It is brown and furry. It has sharp teeth and red eyes. It is angry and hungry. It has been in the cage for a long time. It is rotting and smelly.
+
+"Help!" Sam screams. He drops the cage door. He runs away.
+
+"Run!" Ben shouts. He follows Sam. He is faster.
+
+The rat chases them. It is fast and fierce. It wants to bite them.
+
+They reach the house. They slam the door. They are safe.
+
+"Mom!" Sam cries. "There is a rat in the yard!"
+
+"Where?" Mom asks. She is surprised and worried.
+
+"In the cage!" Ben says. He is panting and shaking.
+
+Mom goes to the window. She sees the cage. She sees the rat. She is angry and disgusted.
+
+"Who left that cage there?" she asks. "It is dirty and dangerous!"
+
+"I don't know!" Sam says. He is sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Me neither!" Ben says. He is lying and afraid.
+
+Mom calls Dad. Dad comes home. He brings a trap. He catches the rat. He throws it away.
+
+"Never touch that cage again!" Mom says. She is stern and serious.
+
+"OK!" Sam and Ben say. They are obedient and relieved.
+
+They hug Mom and Dad. They are happy and safe.
+
+They learn a lesson. They do not play with cages. They do not rot.
+Tim and Sam like to play hockey with their sticks and ball. They play in the yard, where there is a lot of space. But sometimes they hit the ball too hard, and it goes over the fence. Then they have to go and get it back.
+
+One day, they were playing hockey, and Tim hit the ball very hard. It flew over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. The neighbor was an old man who did not like children. He had a big dog that barked a lot.
+
+"Uh-oh," said Tim. "The ball is in his yard. He will be mad."
+
+"Let's go and get it," said Sam. "Maybe he is not home."
+
+They ran to the fence and looked over. The old man was sitting on a chair, reading a book. The dog was lying next to him, sleeping.
+
+"Psst," whispered Tim. "There is the ball. It is near the chair. You go and get it. I will watch."
+
+Sam nodded. He was brave. He climbed over the fence and tiptoed to the ball. He reached out his hand and grabbed it. But as he did, the dog woke up and saw him. It jumped up and started to bark.
+
+"Hey!" shouted the old man. "What are you doing in my yard? You are a bad boy. I will punish you."
+
+He got up and walked to Sam. Sam was scared. He dropped the ball and ran back to the fence. Tim helped him climb over.
+
+"Sorry, mister," said Sam. "We just wanted our ball."
+
+"Sorry is not enough," said the old man. "You should not come into my yard. It is rude. And you scared my dog. He is old and sick. He needs rest. You are very naughty. I will tell your parents."
+
+He picked up the ball and threw it over the fence. It hit Tim in the face. Tim cried. It hurt.
+
+"Ow," said Tim. "That was mean. He is a sour man. He does not like fun."
+
+Sam hugged Tim. He was sorry for his friend.
+
+"Come on," said Sam. "Let's go home. We can play something else. Maybe we can draw or read or sing. We don't need hockey."
+
+They walked home, holding hands. They hoped the old man would not tell their parents. They did not want to be punished. They just wanted to play.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was a chocolate bar that Mom had left for later.
+
+Lily wanted the chocolate bar very much. She thought it would be yummy and sweet. She did not ask Mom if she could have it. She was naughty and took it from the table. She ran to the chair and sat down. She opened the wrapper and bit a big piece.
+
+Ben saw what Lily did and he was angry. He liked chocolate too, but he knew he had to wait for Mom. He said to Lily, "That is not yours! You are naughty! Give it back!"
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She said, "No! It is mine! Go away!" She ate more of the chocolate bar. But it was very hot in the living room. The sun was shining through the window. The chocolate bar started to melt in Lily's hand. It became sticky and messy. It dripped on the chair and on Lily's clothes.
+
+Mom came back from the kitchen and saw what Lily had done. She was very upset. She said to Lily, "What have you done? You took the chocolate bar without asking! You made a big mess on the chair and on yourself! You are very naughty!"
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said to Mom, "I am sorry, Mom. I was naughty. I wanted the chocolate bar. It looked good. But it melted and it was not good. I am sorry."
+
+Mom said to Lily, "You have to learn to share and to ask before you take something. And you have to clean up the mess you made. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash you up. And then you have to say sorry to Ben too."
+
+Lily nodded and followed Mom. She hoped Ben would forgive her. She learned her lesson. She would not be naughty again.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big goose near the pond. The goose has white feathers and a long neck. It makes a loud sound: honk, honk!
+
+Lila and Ben want to feed the goose. They have some bread in their bags. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the goose. The goose eats the bread and wags its tail. It is a sweet goose.
+
+But then, another goose comes. It is bigger and darker than the first goose. It does not like to share the bread. It chases the first goose away. It snaps at Lila and Ben. It is a mean goose.
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They run away from the mean goose. They stand behind a tree and hug each other. They hope the mean goose will go away soon. They do not like the mean goose. They like the sweet goose. They wish the sweet goose will come back.
+Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and elephants. They liked the animals and wanted to see more.
+
+They came to a big pool with a sign that said "Alligators". Tim and Lily saw a big green alligator lying on a rock. It looked like it was sleeping. Tim wanted to touch it. He said to Lily, "Look, a big green toy! I want to play with it!"
+
+Lily said, "No, Tim, that is not a toy. That is a real alligator. It can bite you. It is dangerous. We have to stay away from it."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Lily. He climbed over the fence and walked towards the alligator. He reached out his hand to touch its tail. The alligator opened its eyes and saw Tim. It blinked and then opened its mouth. It had many sharp teeth. They were red with blood.
+
+Lily screamed, "Tim, run! The alligator is awake! It will eat you!" Mom and Dad heard Lily and ran to the fence. They saw Tim and the alligator. They were scared and shouted, "Tim, come back! The alligator is not a toy! It is a real animal! It is dangerous!"
