She promised Jim that she would be there watching and helping him through it. She reassured him that he would remember all the things he had learned before his lesson. + +Jim stepped into the pool cautiously and belly-flopped in.

If you are humble, you will always have more friends and people will always treat you nicely.†Tom did not listen and kept boasting. + +So Tuna put his two fins together and squeezed Tom tight.

Tuna was happy and said “See, that’s what being humble can do for you!†+ +The moral of the story is: it is better to be humble than to show +One day, there was a strong balloon in the sky.

The young boy was confused, so he asked the old man what he meant by this. + +The old man smiled and said, "Life isn't always fair, and it's not always easy to find the truth about things.

"Yes, I like olives too. They are yummy and green." + +Lily and Ben wanted to buy some olives, but they had no money. They looked around and saw some large rocks on the ground. They had an idea. + +"Let's sell these rocks to the man," Lily said. "Maybe he will give us some olives for them." + +Ben agreed. They picked up some large rocks and carried them to the man. + +"Hello, sir," Lily said. "We have some rocks for you. Do you want to buy them?" + +The man looked at the rocks and smiled.

Ben said. "I like toys. Do you like toys?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, I like toys too. They are fun and colorful." + +Lily and Ben wanted to buy some toys, but they had no money. They looked around and saw some small flowers on the grass. They had another idea. + +"Let's sell these flowers to the man," Ben said. "Maybe he will give us some toys for them." + +Lily agreed. They picked up some small flowers and carried them to the man. + +"Hello, sir," Ben said. "We have some flowers for you. Do you want to buy them?" + +The man looked at the flowers and frowned. He knew that the flowers were not worth anything, but he saw that the children were foolish and greedy. + +"No, I don't want to buy your flowers," he said. "They are too small and wilted. They are not worth any toys." + +Lily and Ben felt sad and ashamed. They realized that they had wasted their olives for nothing. They wished they had kept their olives and enjoyed them more. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything can be sold or bought, and that some things are more valuable than others. They learned to be happy with what they have and not to be greedy for what they don't. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw many birds, flowers and dogs. They were having fun. + +Then they heard a loud noise. They looked and saw a big fire. The fire was in a house near the park.

He worked hard to stop the fire and save people. He was not normal. He was a hero. + +They waved at their dad. He saw them and smiled. He was happy to see them. He finished his job and came to hug them. He was wet and dirty, but he was safe. + +"Are you okay, dad?" Lily asked. + +"I'm okay, Lily. Thank you for asking. I'm sorry I scared you.

They have a good cat and a good friend. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben were restless. They wanted to go outside and play, but it was raining. Mom said they had to stay inside and be quiet, because Dad was working. Lily and Ben did not like that. + +They looked around the living room for something to do. They saw a big box of toys, but they had played with them all before. They saw some books, but they had read them all before. They saw a watch on the table, but they did not know how to tell time. + +Then they had an idea. They could prepare a surprise for Dad. They ran to the kitchen and found some paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They drew pictures of their family, their house, their pets and their favorite things. They cut out the pictures and glued them on a big sheet of paper. They wrote "We love you, Dad" with big letters.

The sun is warm and the wind is soft. Tom and Anna go to the park with their moms. + +"Look, a slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide and slides down. "Whee!" he shouts. + +Anna follows him. She also climbs up the ladder and slides down. "This is fun!" she says. + +They take turns sliding and laughing. Then they see a big swing.

She thought she was smarter and better than everyone else. + +One day, Lily found a big bag of coal in the garage. She wondered what it was for. She decided to take some coal and make a picture on the wall. She thought it would look pretty and cool. She did not care if it was dirty or naughty. + +She took a piece of coal and started to draw on the wall. She made a big sun, a house, a flower, and a cat. She was very proud of her picture. She did not notice that the coal made a lot of dust and smudges on the wall, and on her hands and clothes. + +When her mom came home, she saw the mess that Lily had made. She was very angry and sad. She asked Lily, "Why did you do this? Do you know how hard it is to clean the wall? Do you know how much trouble you are in?" + +Lily shrugged. She did not care. She said, "I wanted to make a picture. I like coal. It is fun. I don't need your help. I can do what I want." + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "Lily, you are very independent, but you are also very selfish and rude. You do not respect the house, or the coal, or me. You do not think about how your actions affect others. You need to learn to be more responsible and kind. You need to apologize and help me clean the wall. And you need to share your toys and play with other kids. They are not your enemies, they are your friends. You can learn a lot from them, and they can learn from you." + +Lily did not like what her mom said. She did not want to apologize or clean or share or play. She wanted to be alone with her coal. But she also saw that her mom was right. She had made a big mistake. She had hurt her mom's feelings and wasted the coal. She had missed the chance to have fun and make friends. She felt sorry and ashamed. + +She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I don't like coal anymore. It is dirty and bad. I want to help you clean the wall. And I want to share my toys and play with other kids. I want to be more responsible and kind. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Of course I can forgive you, Lily. I love you very much. You are a very independent girl, and that is a good thing. But you also need to be a good girl, and that means caring about others and yourself. Come on, let's clean the wall together. And then we can go to the park and meet some new friends. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you for teaching me. I love you too." + +They hugged and went to clean the wall. Lily learned a valuable lesson that day. She learned that being independent does not mean being selfish or rude. It means being confident and brave, but also respectful and helpful. She learned that coal is not a toy, but a useful resource. And she learned that friends are not a threat, but a treasure. She became a happier and better girl. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the forest with their mom and dad. They saw many trees, flowers, birds and animals. They were happy and curious. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Anna said, pointing to a furry brown creature. + +"Can we catch it?" Ben asked, running after it. + +"No, Ben, leave it alone. It is scared of you," Mom said. + +But Ben did not listen. He chased the squirrel deeper into the forest. He lost sight of his family and the path. He became lost and afraid. + +"Anna! Mom! Dad! Where are you?" Ben shouted, but no one answered. He heard strange noises and saw shadows. He wished he had stayed with his family. + +Meanwhile, Anna, Mom and Dad were looking for Ben. They called his name and searched everywhere. They became worried and sad. + +"Ben, where are you?" Anna cried, holding Mom's hand. + +"I hope he is okay," Dad said, looking around. + +After a long time, they heard a faint voice. + +"Anna! Mom! Dad! I'm here!" Ben said, waving his arms. + +They saw him and ran to him. They hugged him and checked if he was hurt. + +"Ben, are you okay? We were so scared. Why did you run away?" Mom asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to catch the squirrel, but it ran away. Then I got lost and scared. The forest is big and dark and boring. I don't like it," Ben said. + +"Ben, you should have listened to Mom. The forest is not a place to chase animals. They have their own homes and families. You should respect them and their space. The forest is not boring. It is beautiful and full of life. But you have to be careful and stay with us. We love you and we don't want to lose you," Dad said. + +"I'm sorry, Dad. I learned my lesson. I love you too. And I love you, Anna. You are my best friend," Ben said. + +"I love you too, Ben. You are my best friend. But don't scare me like that again," Anna said. + +They all smiled and hugged again. Then they walked back to the car, holding hands. They left the forest, but they remembered its beauty and its dangers. They promised to be more careful and respectful next time. +Sam and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to run after it and bring it back. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and hit the mailbox. The mailbox was old and broken. It fell off the post and made a loud noise. Sam and Lily were scared. They thought they did something bad. + +They heard a voice from inside the house. It was their mom. She was angry. She said, "What was that? Who broke the mailbox?" + +Sam and Lily ran to the house. They did not want to get in trouble. They said, "Sorry, mom. It was an accident. We were playing with the ball and it hit the mailbox." + +Their mom came out and saw the broken mailbox. She was not happy. She said, "You need to be more careful. The mailbox is important. It is where we get our letters and bills. Now we have to fix it or buy a new one. You are both in time out. Go to your rooms and nap." + +Sam and Lily felt sad. They did not mean to break the mailbox. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play. But they knew they had to listen to their mom. They went to their rooms and lay down on their beds. They hoped their mom would forgive them and let them play again. They closed their eyes and tried to nap. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. They liked to run and chase and throw the ball for Rex. Rex was a big and fierce dog, but he was very kind and gentle with Ben and Mia. + +One day, Rex started to cough and wheeze. He could not run as fast as before, and he looked very tired and sad. Ben and Mia were worried about their dog. They asked their mom to take Rex to the vet. + +The vet was a nice lady who checked Rex with a stethoscope. She listened to his heart and his lung. She told Ben and Mia that Rex had a lung problem. He needed some medicine and some rest to restore his lung and make him feel better. + +Ben and Mia nodded and hugged Rex. They told him they loved him and they would take good care of him. They brought Rex home and gave him a soft bed and a bowl of water. They also gave him his medicine every day, as the vet said. + +After a few weeks, Rex started to cough less and breathe easier. He wagged his tail and licked Ben and Mia's faces. He was ready to play again. Ben and Mia were very happy to see their dog healthy and strong. They took him to the park and threw the ball for him. Rex ran and chased and barked with joy. He was a big and fierce dog, but he was also a good and loyal friend. +Lily liked to borrow books from the library.

She wanted to borrow it, but the librarian said it was not available. Someone else had borrowed it first. + +Lily was sad. She looked for another book, but she did not like any of them. She wanted the goose book. She asked her mom if they could wait for the goose book to come back. Her mom said they could not. They had to go home soon. + +Lily was very sad. She did not want to leave the library without the goose book. She saw a boy walking out of the library with the goose book in his hand. She ran after him and tried to grab the book. The boy was surprised and scared. He shouted, "No, this is my book! I borrowed it!" + +Lily did not listen. She pulled the book hard. The boy pulled back. They both fell down. The book flew out of their hands and landed on the ground. The librarian came and picked up the book. She was angry. She said, "Lily, you cannot do that! You cannot take someone else's book! That is not borrowing, that is stealing!" + +Lily felt ashamed. She did not mean to steal. She just wanted the goose book. She said sorry to the boy and the librarian. The boy said sorry too. He said he liked the goose book, but he would share it with her. He said they could read it together. + +Lily smiled. She said thank you. She was happy. She made a new friend. They sat on a bench and looked at the goose book. They liked the pictures and the words. They learned about geese and how they live. They had fun. They decided to borrow another book together next time. They hoped there would be more books with geese available. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans, spoons and forks, and anything they could find. They also liked to look at the labels on the jars and cans. They tried to read the words and guess what was inside. + +One day, they found a big jar with a red label. It had a picture of a tomato and some letters. Ben said, "I think this is sauce. We can use it for our pasta." Lily said, "OK, let's open it. But be careful, it looks heavy." + +Ben tried to twist the lid, but it was too tight. He used both hands, but it did not move. He asked Lily to help him, but they still could not open it. They pushed and pulled, but the lid stayed on. They got angry and frustrated. They wanted to taste the sauce. + +They decided to use a tool. They looked around and saw a big knife on the counter. Ben said, "Maybe this will work. I can cut the lid off." Lily said, "That sounds dangerous. What if you hurt yourself?" Ben said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Just watch me." + +Ben took the knife and stabbed the lid. He heard a loud pop and saw the sauce squirt out. He was surprised and scared. He dropped the knife and ran away. Lily screamed and followed him. The sauce was everywhere. It was on the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling. It looked like blood. It smelled like tomatoes. + +The sauce had escaped from the jar. It was a mess. Ben and Lily had made a big mistake. They wished they had left the jar alone. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They hid under the table and hoped she would not see them. But she did. She was not happy. She said, "What have you done? Look at this mess! How did this happen?" Ben and Lily did not answer. They felt sorry and ashamed. They learned their lesson. They never played with the jar with the red label again. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many cars, trucks, planes and trains. He likes to make them zoom and beep and fly.

He sleeps with it every night. + +Lily takes the teddy bear and runs back to the living room.

He does not want to lose it. + +"Give me back my teddy bear!" he cries. + +"Then give me your truck!" Lily says. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He does not want to share his toys, but he does not want to lose his teddy bear either. He decides to make a deal with Lily. + +"OK, you can borrow my truck, but only for a little while. And you have to give me back my teddy bear," he says. + +"OK, deal," Lily says. She gives Tom his teddy bear and takes his truck. She makes it zoom and beep and smile. + +Tom hugs his teddy bear and watches Lily play with his truck. He feels a bit sorry for being mean to her.

Do you want to borrow my doll too?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. Maybe we can play together." + +They swap their toys and start to play together. They have fun and become friends.

Mom says, "I love you, Lily, you are very smart and brave." Lily says, "I love you, Mom, you are very kind and gentle." They hug and smile. Lily feels better. She counts the ice cubes on her bump.

Ben and Lily wanted to talk to him, but they were shy. They decided to play near him, hoping he would join them. + +They ran to the fence that surrounded the park. The fence was enormous and had many holes. Ben and Lily peeked through the holes and made funny faces. They laughed and giggled.

He did not care about them. + +Ben and Lily felt sad and hurt. They wondered why the new boy did not want to play with them. They thought he was mean and rude. They decided to leave him alone and play somewhere else. + +They ran to the other side of the park, where there was a big tree. They climbed the tree and sat on a branch. They looked at the new boy from afar. They still wanted to be his friend, but they did not know how. + +Then, they saw something that made them change their mind. They saw a dog running towards the new boy. The dog was big and scary. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite the new boy. + +The new boy was scared. He dropped his book and tried to run away. But the dog was faster and stronger. It jumped on him and knocked him down. It bit his leg and made him cry. + +Ben and Lily saw this and felt sorry for the new boy. They realized he was not mean and rude. He was just shy and lonely. He needed help and friends. + +They jumped off the tree and ran to the fence. They shouted and waved at the dog. They tried to scare it away. They hoped it would leave the new boy alone. + +The dog heard them and looked at them. It saw two more children who wanted to play. It let go of the new boy and ran to the fence. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. It was not a bad dog. It was just playful and friendly. + +Ben and Lily were surprised and happy.

They thought it would be cool and exciting. + +"Let's fly our planes over the street!" Tom said. + +"No, that's not a good idea," Sam said. "The street is busy and dangerous. We might lose our planes or get hurt." + +"Don't be lazy and scared," Tom said. "It will be fun. Come on, follow me." + +Tom ran to the street with his plane. He threw it in the air and watched it fly over the cars and buses. He smiled and laughed. He did not see the big truck that was coming fast. + +Sam saw the truck and shouted. "Tom, watch out! The truck is coming!" + +But it was too late. The truck hit Tom and his plane. Tom and his plane fell to the ground. They did not move. They did not fly anymore. + +Sam ran to Tom and cried. He wished he had stopped Tom from flying his plane over the street. He wished he had listened to his brother. He wished he had a better ending. +Tom liked to play in the garden.

There are many people and food. + +"Can we go?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Let us ask mom and dad," Tom says. + +They run to their parents. They ask if they can go to the picnic. Mom and dad say yes. They are happy. + +They go to the tent. They see a nice lady. She has a big bowl. It is salad. It has green leaves, red tomatoes, and yellow cheese. + +"Hello, kids.

They have a good day. +Anna and Ben are restless. They want to play outside, but it is very hot and dry. The sun is bright and makes them thirsty. They ask their mom if they can go to the park. + +"OK, but you have to drink water and wear hats," mom says. "And don't stay too long. It is not good to be in the sun for too long." + +Anna and Ben nod and run to get their water bottles and hats. They are happy to go to the park. They like to swing, slide, and climb. They also like to look for rocks and minerals. They think they are like treasure hunters. + +At the park, they have fun playing and finding different rocks. Some are shiny, some are smooth, some are rough. They put them in their pockets and show them to each other. + +"Look, this one is sparkly. I think it is a diamond," Anna says. + +"No, it is not a diamond. It is a quartz. Diamonds are very rare and expensive," Ben says. + +"How do you know?" Anna asks. + +"I read it in a book. Books have a lot of information. You should read more," Ben says. + +"I do read, but I like to use my imagination. I think it is a diamond and I will keep it," Anna says. + +They argue for a while, but then they see a big rock that looks different from the others. It is red and has holes in it. They wonder what it is and go closer to see. + +"Wow, this is a cool rock. It looks like a sponge," Ben says. + +"Maybe it is a sponge. Maybe it used to be wet and now it is dry," Anna says. + +They touch the rock and feel that it is hard and rough. They try to break a piece of it, but it is too strong. They decide to leave it alone and go back to playing. + +They have a lot of fun at the park, but soon they feel tired and hot. They drink their water and sit under a tree. They look at their rocks and minerals and talk about them. They are not restless anymore. They are happy and curious. They love to learn new things. +Sam and Mia are playing cops and robbers in the park. Sam is the cop and Mia is the robber. Sam has a toy badge and a hat. Mia has a scarf and a bag. + +"Stop, robber! You are bad!" Sam shouts, running after Mia. "Give me back the money!" + +"No, no, no! You can't catch me!" Mia laughs, running away. "I am fast and smart!" + +Sam chases Mia around the trees and the swings. He tries to grab her scarf, but she dodges him. He tries to block her way, but she jumps over him. He gets tired and angry. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" he yells. "Or I will put you in jail!" + +Mia stops and turns around. She sees a big dog behind Sam. The dog is black and brown and has a collar. The dog barks and wags its tail. + +"Look, Sam, a dog!" Mia says. "He is friendly and gentle. Can we pet him?" + +Sam forgets about the game. He loves dogs. He turns around and smiles. + +"Wow, a dog!" he says. "He is cute and fluffy. Yes, let's pet him!" + +Sam and Mia walk slowly to the dog. They hold out their hands and let the dog sniff them. The dog licks their hands and nuzzles their faces. They giggle and stroke his fur. + +"Hello, dog!" they say. "What is your name?" + +A man comes out of a nearby house. He is the dog's owner. He sees Sam and Mia and smiles. + +"Hello, kids!" he says. "Are you having fun?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" they say. "We are playing cops and robbers. And we found your dog. He is nice and gentle. What is his name?" + +"His name is Rex," the man says. "He likes to play, too. Do you want to play with him?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" they say. "Can we, please?" + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "But be careful. Don't pull his ears or his tail. And don't run away from him. He might think you are robbers and chase you." + +"OK, OK, OK!" they say. "We will be good. Thank you, mister!" + +The man nods and goes back to his house. Sam and Mia play with Rex. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They hide behind a bush and he finds them. They hug him and he wags his tail. They forget about the money and the jail. They are happy and have fun. +Ben and Mia were twins who loved to play. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big piano in the living room. They liked to press the keys and make sounds. Sometimes they sang along, sometimes they pretended to be famous musicians. + +One day, their mom told them she had a surprise for them. She brought them a big cake with frosting and candles. It was their birthday! Ben and Mia were very happy and thanked their mom. They wanted to taste the cake right away, but their mom said they had to wait until after dinner. + +Ben and Mia were very hungry, but they also wanted to play. They decided to play one more song on the piano before dinner. They went to the living room and sat on the bench. They looked at the cake on the table. It looked so yummy and smooth. They wondered how it would taste. + +"Can we have just one bite?" Ben asked Mia. + +"No, mom said we have to wait," Mia said. + +"But it's our birthday, and it's our cake," Ben said. + +Mia thought for a moment. She was curious too. She looked around and saw that their mom was busy in the kitchen. She whispered to Ben, "Okay, but just one bite. And be quick and quiet." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He got up and tiptoed to the table. He reached for the cake and broke off a small piece. He put it in his mouth and closed his eyes. It tasted so sweet and soft. He loved it. He wanted more. + +He broke off another piece and gave it to Mia. She also put it in her mouth and closed her eyes. She loved it too. She wanted more. + +They broke off more pieces and ate them. They forgot about the piano and the dinner. They only thought about the cake. + +But then they heard their mom's voice. She was coming to the living room. She said, "Are you ready for dinner, kids? And then we can have some cake and sing happy birthday." + +Ben and Mia opened their eyes and looked at each other. They looked at the cake. It was half gone. They looked at their mom. She was shocked and angry. She said, "What have you done? You ruined the cake! How could you?" + +Ben and Mia felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They wanted to say sorry, but they couldn't. Their mouths were full of cake. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big red fox behind the fence. The fox looked at them with his bright eyes. + +"Hello, fox!" said Tom. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The fox did not say anything. He just stared at them. + +"Maybe he is shy," said Mia. "Or maybe he is hungry. We can give him some bread." + +Mia ran to the house and got some bread. She came back and threw a piece over the fence. The fox sniffed it and ate it. + +"Good fox!" said Mia. "Do you want more?" + +The fox nodded his head. Mia threw another piece. The fox ate it too. + +"Can we pet you, fox?" asked Tom. "You are so soft and red." + +The fox shook his head. He looked serious. + +"Why not, fox?" asked Mia. "We are nice to you." + +The fox opened his mouth and said, "Because I am not a fox. I am a magician. And I can disappear." + +Tom and Mia gasped. They did not understand. + +"Watch this," said the fox. He closed his eyes and said a strange word. Then he was gone. + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They looked at the fence. They looked at the bread. They did not see the fox. + +"Where did he go?" asked Tom. + +"I don't know," said Mia. "Maybe he was a magic fox." + +They ran to the house and told their mom. She did not believe them. She said they had a big imagination. + +But Tom and Mia knew what they saw. They wondered if they would ever see the fox again. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the big park near their home. There were many trees and flowers and animals to see. Sometimes they saw squirrels, birds, rabbits and even a deer. But their favorite place was the old oak tree. It was very big and had many branches and leaves. They liked to climb on it and pretend it was a castle or a ship or a rocket. + +One day, they were playing on the oak tree when they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big animal. They looked around and saw a big brown bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It saw the children and started to run towards them. It opened its mouth and roared. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Lily shouted. They were very frightened. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but the bear was faster. They wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide. They wanted to climb higher, but the branches were too thin. + +Then they remembered something. Their dad had told them a story about bears. He had said that bears were afraid of loud noises. He had said that if they ever met a bear, they should make a lot of noise and wave their arms and act big and brave. + +Ben and Lily decided to try it. They took a deep breath and shouted as loud as they could. They waved their arms and stomped their feet. They acted big and brave. They hoped it would work. + +The bear was surprised. It did not expect the children to be so noisy and bold. It stopped running and looked at them. It was confused and scared. It did not like the noise and the movement. It decided to leave them alone. It turned around and ran away. It roared one last time and disappeared into the woods. + +Ben and Lily were relieved. They had scared the bear away. They hugged each other and thanked their dad for his story. They climbed down from the oak tree and ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad what had happened. They were very proud and happy. They had been brave and smart. They had saved themselves from the bear. +Tim and Sam love to watch the parade. They sit on the sidewalk with their mom and dad and wave at the floats and the bands. They see big balloons of animals and people, and shiny cars with flags and flowers. They clap and cheer when they hear the music and the horns. + +But one day, the parade is not fun. It is very cold and windy. The wind is harsh and hurts their faces and ears. The balloons shake and twist in the air. Some of them pop and fall to the ground. The bands play out of tune and the cars honk loudly. Tim and Sam feel scared and sad. + +They want to go home, but their mom and dad say they have to wait. The parade is almost over, they say. They try to keep Tim and Sam warm and happy, but it is hard. Tim and Sam wish the parade would speed up and end soon. + +Then, they see something that makes them smile. It is the last float of the parade, and it is their favorite. It is a big red fire truck with lights and sirens. On the truck, there are firefighters and a dog. They wave and smile at Tim and Sam, and throw candy and stickers to them. Tim and Sam catch some and say thank you. They feel warm and happy again. + +The parade is over, and Tim and Sam are ready to go home. They hug their mom and dad and say they had fun. They say they like the fire truck the best. They hope the next parade will be sunny and nice. They walk home with their candy and stickers, and forget about the harsh wind. +Lily and Sam were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at the TV, but it was off. Mom said they could not watch TV until they finished their homework. + +"Let's do our homework, then we can watch TV," Lily said to Sam. + +Sam did not want to do his homework. He wanted to play with his toys. He said, "Homework is hard. I don't know how to do it." + +Lily saw that Sam was sad. She wanted to help him. She said, "Homework is not hard. You can do it.

She looked around and saw the fire. She was scared. She wanted to run away. + +But her dolls were still in the garden. She loved her dolls. She did not want to leave them. She ran to the fire and tried to grab them. But the fire was too hot. It burned her hand and her knee. She cried out loud. She felt a lot of pain. She was helpless. + +Her mom heard her cry. She ran to the garden and saw the fire and Anna. She was shocked. She grabbed a hose and sprayed water on the fire. She put out the fire. She ran to Anna and hugged her.

But the fire burned me. It hurt me. I was helpless." + +Her mom said, "I know you love your dolls, but they are not alive. You are alive. You are more important than your dolls. You should never go near a fire. It is very dangerous. It can burn you and hurt you. You are not helpless. You can call me or dad or someone else for help. We will always help you. We love you more than anything." + +She kissed her hand and her knee. She took her inside and put some cream and a bandage on them. She gave her some juice and a cookie. She said, "You will be okay.

"You will hurt the statue. And you will fall down. You are clumsy." + +Tom did not listen. He reached for the hat. He wanted to touch it. He thought it was cool. + +But the hat was loose. It fell off the statue's head. It hit Tom on the nose. Tom cried out. He lost his balance. He fell down. + +Lily gasped. She ran to Tom. She hugged him.

They looked under rugs, behind books, and in drawers. They did not find a key. + +Tim was mad. He did not like to give up. He saw a hammer on a shelf. He grabbed it and ran to the box. He said, "I will break the lock with this. Then we can see what is inside." + +Jen was very scared. She said, "No, Tim, don't do that. It might be dangerous. Mom and dad will be mad at us. Please, stop." + +But Tim did not listen. He lifted the hammer and hit the lock hard. He hit it again and again. He did not see the sparks that came out of the lock.

You have to pay for the things he threw. And you have to take him away. Now." + +His mother was very ashamed and scared. She said, "Please, no. Please, don't do that. Please, give us another chance. Please, be kind." + +But the big man said, "No. You have to go. Now. Or I will call the police." + +His mother had no choice. She picked up Ben, who was still crying and kicking. She paid for the things he threw, which was a lot of money. She left the big shop, with everyone looking at them. She put him in the car, and drove away. + +Ben did not get the car he wanted.

It had a red thing on its head and a green thing on its neck. + +"That's not a duck, Tom. That's a goose. And it's not very friendly. It might bite you or chase you," mom said. + +"But it looks so mighty and cool. I want to feed it a prize. Maybe it will like me," Tom said. He took a big piece of bread from the bag and walked towards the goose. + +"Tom, wait, don't do that!" mom said. But it was too late. The goose saw Tom and his bread and ran towards him. It opened its mouth and honked loudly. + +"Help, mom, help!" Tom cried. He dropped the bread and ran back to mom and Sue. The goose followed him and tried to peck him. + +Mom picked up Tom and hugged him. She scared the goose away with the bag. She checked Tom for any bites or scratches. He was fine, but very scared. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I should have listened to you," Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom. You learned your lesson. Geese are not ducks. They are not nice. They don't want prizes. They want bread and peace," mom said. + +"Can we go home now, mom?" Sue asked. + +"Yes, let's go home. And next time, let's feed only the ducks," mom said. + +They left the pond and the goose. The goose ate the bread that Tom dropped and felt happy. It was a mighty goose and it had a prize. +Sam liked to make music. He had a drum, a flute and a guitar. He played them every day in his room. He wanted to be a musician when he grew up. + +One day, a man came to his house. He said he was a music teacher. He heard Sam play and he liked it. He said he could teach Sam more songs and skills. He said he could help Sam become a wealthy musician. + +Sam was happy and excited. He asked his mom if he could go with the man. His mom said yes, but only if he was careful and polite. She said she was proud of Sam and his music. + +Sam packed his instruments and went with the man. They drove to a big building with many rooms. The man said it was a music school. He said Sam could meet other musicians and learn from them. + +Sam entered the building and saw many people playing different instruments. He heard piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone and more. He felt nervous and curious. He wondered if he could make music with them. He hoped they would like him and his music. He smiled and followed the man. He was ready to learn and play. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big house with a fence. The house looked old and dark. They were curious. + +"Let's go see the house," Tom said. + +"No, we can't. Mom said not to go near the house. She said a witch lives there," Lily said. + +Tom did not believe Mom. He wanted to see the witch. He climbed over the fence. Lily followed him. She felt guilty. + +They walked to the door of the house. They knocked. No one answered. They opened the door. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw a big pot, a broom, and a black cat. + +"Hello, children," a voice said. It was the witch. She came out of a room. She smiled. She had a long nose, a pointy hat, and a wart on her chin. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to run away. But the witch blocked the door. + +"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad witch. I'm a good witch. I like children. Do you want some candy?" the witch said. She offered them a bowl of colorful candies. + +Lily and Tom looked at the candies. They looked yummy. But they remembered what Mom said. Mom said not to take candy from strangers. + +"Thank you, but no thank you. We have to go home now. Mom is waiting for us," Lily said. + +"Yes, we have to go. Bye, witch," Tom said. + +They ran past the witch and out of the door. They climbed over the fence and back to the park. They hugged each other. They were happy to be safe. + +They learned a lesson. They decided not to go near the house again. They also decided to listen to Mom. Mom knew best. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with. They only had a big wall in their room. They decided to count the dots on the wall. + +"One, two, three, four, five..." Lily said. + +"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten..." Ben said. + +They counted and counted. They wanted to see who could count more dots. They did not see their mom come in. + +"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked. + +"We are counting dots, mom. It is fun!" Lily said. + +"Counting dots is not fun. It is silly. You should do something else. Like read a book, or draw a picture, or help me in the kitchen." Mom said. + +"But we like counting dots, mom. It is our game." Ben said. + +Mom was angry. She did not like their game. She thought it was a waste of time. She took a lemon from the kitchen. She cut it in half. She gave one half to Lily and one half to Ben. + +"Here, kids. This is your new game. You have to eat this lemon. It is good for you. It will make you smart and strong." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben did not want to eat the lemon. They knew it was sour. They did not like sour things. They wanted to keep counting dots. But they did not want to make mom more angry. They took the lemon and put it in their mouths. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. + +"Ew!" Ben said. + +They spit out the lemon. It was too sour. It made their faces twist. It hurt their tongues. They cried. + +Mom laughed. She thought it was funny. She did not care that they were sad. She said, "That is what you get for being silly. Next time, listen to me and do something else. Now go to bed. No more counting dots for you." + +Lily and Ben went to bed. They were sad and sour. They wished they had a better mom. They wished they had more fun. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be bored and count dots on the wall. It is not fun and it will make your mom angry. She might give you a sour lemon to eat. It is better to do something else that is more fun and more useful. +Lily was sick. She had a cough and a fever. Mommy said she had to take medicine to feel better. Lily did not like medicine. It was yucky and bitter. + +Mommy brought a spoon and a bottle. The bottle had purple liquid inside. "This is your medicine, Lily," Mommy said. "It will help you stop coughing and make your fever go away. You have to take two spoons of it, okay?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to take the medicine. She hid under the blanket. "No, Mommy, no!" she cried. "I don't want the purple medicine!" + +Mommy sighed. She had an idea. She went to the kitchen and came back with a glass of juice and a bowl of candy. "How about this, Lily?" Mommy said. "If you take your medicine, you can have some juice and a candy. The juice will make the medicine taste better, and the candy will be a treat. Do you want to try?" + +Lily peeked out from the blanket. She saw the juice and the candy. She liked juice and candy. She thought for a moment. Maybe the medicine would not be so bad if she had juice and candy after. She nodded. "Okay, Mommy, okay," she said. "I will take the medicine." + +Mommy smiled. She gave Lily the spoon and poured some purple liquid on it. Lily opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. It was yucky and bitter, but she did not make a face. She was a brave girl. Mommy gave her the juice and she drank it. It made the medicine taste better. Mommy gave her a candy and she ate it. It was sweet and yummy. She felt a little better. + +"Good job, Lily," Mommy said. "You took your medicine like a big girl. I'm proud of you. Now you can rest and get well soon." + +Lily smiled. She hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. She hoped the medicine would work and she would feel better tomorrow. +Tommy was a boy who liked to play music. He had a drum, a flute and a bell. He wanted to make a band with his friends. He asked Lily, who had a guitar, and Ben, who had a keyboard, to join him. They said yes and they were happy. + +They practiced in Tommy's backyard every day. They made loud and lovely sounds. They wanted to show everyone their band. They decided to play at the park on Saturday. They packed their instruments and walked to the park. + +On the way, Tommy saw a big rock. He thought it would be fun to jump over it. He ran and jumped, but he did not see a hole behind the rock. He stumbled and fell. His drum rolled away and broke. He hurt his knee and cried. + +Lily and Ben ran to help him. They picked up his drum and saw the crack. They felt sorry for Tommy. They said they could not play without him. They said they would go back and fix his drum. They said they were his friends. + +Tommy stopped crying. He thanked them and hugged them. He learned that playing music was fun, but having friends was more important. He learned that he should be careful and not do silly things. He learned that his band was lovely because they cared for each other. +Tim and Sue like to play with their bikes. They ride fast and slow, and make turns and loops. They have fun on the sunny day. + +But then, Tim sees something interesting. He sees a big wheel on the grass. It is shiny and has many colors. He stops his bike and runs to the wheel. + +"Look, Sue, look!" he says. "A big wheel! Can we play with it?" + +Sue stops her bike too and follows Tim. She sees the big wheel and smiles. It is pretty and bright. She wants to play with it too. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is a man with a hat and a coat. He is angry and he runs to them. + +"Hey, you kids, stop!" he says. "That is my wheel! It is not a toy! It is for my show! Go away!" + +Tim and Sue are scared and sorry. They did not know the wheel was not a toy. They did not want to make the man angry. They run back to their bikes and ride away. + +They are sad and quiet. They do not want to play anymore. They wish they had not seen the big wheel. It was not interesting. It was trouble. +Lisa and Ben love to sign. They sign with their hands and make funny faces. They sign to say hello, goodbye, thank you and sorry. They sign to tell stories and jokes. They sign to their friends and their family. + +Lisa and Ben are going on a holiday. They are very excited. They pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. They sign to their mom and dad that they are ready to go. They get in the car and drive to the airport. + +At the airport, they see many people and planes. They sign to each other what they see. They sign to the lady who checks their tickets. They sign to the man who scans their bags. They sign to the pilot who waves at them. They sign to the stewardess who gives them snacks. + +They fly in the air for a long time. They look out the window and see clouds and land. They sign to each other what they wonder. They wonder where they are going. They wonder what they will do. They wonder who they will meet. + +They land in a new place. They see palm trees and sand. They see the ocean and the sun. They sign to each other that they are happy. They sign to their mom and dad that they are grateful. They sign to the driver who takes them to the hotel. + +They stay in a big room with a balcony. They have a comfortable bed and a soft pillow. They have a TV and a fridge. They sign to each other that they are lucky. They sign to their mom and dad that they love them. They sign to the maid who cleans their room. + +They have a lot of fun on their holiday. They swim and play. They eat and drink. They learn and explore. They meet new people and make new friends. They sign to everyone they meet. They sign to each other every day. They sign to their mom and dad every night. + +They are happy and they sign. +Lila and Tom were playing on the beach near the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats and the small fish in the water. They also liked to spin around and around until they felt dizzy and fell on the sand. + +"Let's spin faster and faster!" Tom said. + +"Okay!" Lila agreed. + +They spun and spun until they could not see anything clearly. They laughed and giggled as they stumbled and rolled on the sand. + +But then Lila saw something that made her stop and scream. It was a big, dark shape that came out of the water. It had a long, sharp nose and many teeth. It was an unknown animal that Lila had never seen before. + +"Tom, look! It's a monster!" Lila cried. + +Tom turned and saw the animal too. He was scared and grabbed Lila's hand. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Tom shouted. + +They ran as fast as they could away from the beach and the harbor. They did not stop until they reached their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, Dad, there's a monster in the water!" Lila and Tom said. + +Their mom and dad looked at them and then at the water. They did not see any monster. They only saw a dolphin that was jumping and playing in the waves. + +"That's not a monster, kids. That's a dolphin. It's a friendly animal that lives in the sea. It won't hurt you," their mom said. + +"A dolphin?" Lila and Tom said. + +They looked again and saw that the animal was not dark and scary, but gray and shiny. It had a smile on its face and made a funny noise. + +"It's a dolphin!" Lila and Tom said. + +They felt silly and relieved. They decided to go back to the beach and watch the dolphin from a safe distance. They also decided not to spin too much, because it made them see things that were not real. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they find a big bottle of milk in the fridge. It is orange and smells funny. + +"Look, Ben, orange milk!" Anna says. "Do you want to try it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna, it is bad. Mom said not to drink old milk. It can make us sick." + +Anna smiles. "But it is orange, Ben. Maybe it is a special milk. Maybe it is yummy. I dare you to drink it, Ben. Just a little sip." + +Ben frowns. "No, Anna, I don't want to. You drink it if you are so brave." + +Anna picks up the bottle. She looks at the orange milk. She thinks it might be good. She opens the bottle and brings it to her mouth. + +"Anna, no!" Ben shouts. "Don't drink it!" + +But it is too late. Anna drinks a big gulp of the orange milk. She makes a face. She spits out the milk. She coughs and cries. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" Anna says. "It is not yummy, Ben. It is sour and bitter and gross. It hurts my tongue and my tummy. I don't like orange milk!" + +Ben runs to Anna. He hugs her and pats her back. He feels sorry for her. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I told you not to drink it. Are you okay?" + +Anna nods. She wipes her mouth. She still feels bad. + +"I'm okay, Ben. But I was silly. I should have listened to you and Mom. I don't want to dare anymore. I just want some water and a hug." + +Ben smiles. He gives Anna some water and a hug. He loves his sister. + +"Me too, Anna. I love you. And I love white milk. Let's go and ask Mom for some white milk. And maybe a cookie." + +Anna smiles back. She loves her brother. + +"Okay, Ben. Let's go. And no more orange milk. Ever." + +They hold hands and walk to Mom. They say sorry and ask for white milk and cookies. Mom forgives them and gives them what they want. They drink and eat and feel better. They are happy. They learned their lesson. They never drink orange milk again. The end. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. Lily put one block on top of another. Max did the same. They were having fun. + +But then, the tower fell down. The blocks made a loud noise. Lily and Max were sad. They looked at the mess. + +"I don't want to play anymore," Lily said. "It's too hard." + +"Me neither," Max said. "Let's quit." + +They were about to leave when Mom came in. She saw the blocks on the floor. + +"What happened?" Mom asked. + +"Our tower fell down," Lily said. + +"We quit," Max said. + +Mom smiled. She picked up some blocks and gave them to Lily and Max. + +"Don't quit, my loves," Mom said. "Try again. You can do it. If you work hard and don't give up, you will get a reward." + +"What reward?" Lily asked. + +"A hug and a kiss from me," Mom said. + +Lily and Max liked hugs and kisses. They decided to try again. They picked up the blocks and started to build. They helped each other. They made the tower taller and stronger. + +They were almost done when the tower fell down again. The blocks made a loud noise. Lily and Max were sad. They looked at the mess. + +But this time, they did not quit. They remembered Mom's words. They tried again. And again. And again. + +Finally, they did it. They built a big tower. It did not fall down. It was beautiful. Lily and Max were happy. They clapped their hands. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Lily said. + +"We did it, Mom, we did it!" Max said. + +Mom came in. She saw the big tower. She was proud of Lily and Max. + +"Wow, you did it!" Mom said. "You worked hard and did not quit. You are amazing. You are ready for a reward." + +She hugged and kissed Lily and Max. They hugged and kissed her back. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that quitting is not good. They learned that trying is good. They learned that working hard and not giving up brings rewards. They learned that they can do anything if they are ready. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pond with some ducks. They wanted to feed the ducks. + +"Look, Lily, I have some bread. Let's bring it to the ducks," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Lily said. + +They walked to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came and ate the bread. They quacked and splashed. Ben and Lily laughed and clapped. + +But then they saw something else in the water. It was a big green thing with a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a crocodile. It was hungry and angry. It saw Ben and Lily and wanted to eat them. + +"Ben, Lily, run! It's a crocodile!" Lily shouted. + +But Ben was too tired. He had run and jumped and slid too much. He could not run fast. The crocodile came out of the water and snapped at Ben. It caught him in its mouth and dragged him into the pond. + +Lily screamed and cried. She ran to get help. But it was too late. Ben was gone. The crocodile had eaten him. Lily was very sad and scared. She wished she had never brought bread to the pond. She wished she had never seen the crocodile. She wished Ben was still with her. +Lily loved to sing. She sang all the time, at home, at school, and with her friends. She had a high voice that could rise and fall like a bird. She wanted to sing in the big show that her teacher was planning. She practiced every day, and learned all the words and the pitch. + +The day of the show came, and Lily was very excited. She put on her best dress and her shiny shoes. She waited for her turn on the stage, and smiled at her mom and dad in the audience. She saw her teacher give her a thumbs up, and she walked to the microphone. + +She opened her mouth to sing, but nothing came out. She tried again, but only a squeak escaped. She felt her face get hot and red. She was embarrassed. She wanted to run away and hide. She heard some kids laugh and point at her. She felt tears in her eyes. + +Then, she heard a voice behind her. It was her friend Sam, who also liked to sing. He whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. Let's sing together. You can do it." He took her hand and started to sing the first line of the song. Lily felt a little better. She joined him, and sang the second line. They sang the whole song, and their voices blended well. They finished with a big smile, and the audience clapped and cheered. + +Lily hugged Sam and thanked him. She felt proud and happy. She learned that singing is more fun when you have a friend to help you. She also learned that everyone makes mistakes, and that it's okay to try again. She decided to keep singing, and to never give up. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big sack on the grass. It is light and soft. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the sack and pull the string. The sack opens and many balloons come out. They are all different colors. Lily and Tom are happy. They grab the balloons and play with them. + +"Look, I have a red one!" Lily says. + +"I have a blue one!" Tom says. + +They throw the balloons in the air and catch them. They laugh and have fun. + +But then a man comes to the park. He is angry. He sees the sack and the balloons. + +"Hey, those are mine!" he says. "I was going to use them for a party. Give them back!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the balloons and run away. They hide behind a tree. + +"Sorry, mister!" they say. "We didn't know. We just wanted to play." + +The man picks up the sack and the balloons. He puts them in his bag. He walks away. + +Lily and Tom come out from the tree. They are sad. They have no balloons to play with. + +"Let's go home," Lily says. + +"OK," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk to their house. They hope the man will have a nice party. +Lily and Ben were having breakfast with Mom. They liked to eat muffins with butter and jam. Mom gave them each a muffin and a glass of milk. + +"Can I have some jam, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, here you go," Mom said. She passed the jar of jam to Lily. + +Lily took a big spoon of jam and put it on her muffin. She smiled and took a bite. It was sweet and yummy. + +Ben watched Lily and wanted some jam too. He reached for the jar, but it was too far. He leaned over the table and stretched his arm. He almost got it, but then he lost his balance and fell off his chair. + +"Ouch!" Ben cried. He landed on the floor with a thud. + +Mom and Lily heard the noise and looked at Ben. He was holding his head and his muffin was on the floor. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom asked. She ran to Ben and helped him up. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted some jam," Ben said. He looked at his muffin and felt sad. + +"It's okay, Ben. Don't cry. You can have another muffin," Mom said. She hugged Ben and kissed his head. + +"Really?" Ben asked. + +"Really. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and get you a new muffin," Mom said. She took Ben by the hand and walked to the kitchen. + +Lily followed them and picked up Ben's muffin from the floor. She saw a zip on the floor too. It was shiny and silver. She wondered where it came from. + +She looked at her muffin and saw a hole in it. She peeked inside and saw something furry and brown. It was a mouse! + +The mouse looked at Lily and squeaked. It had a fierce face and sharp teeth. It was not happy to be in the muffin. + +Lily screamed and dropped the muffin. The mouse jumped out and ran away. + +"Mom, Mom, there was a mouse in my muffin!" Lily shouted. + +"What? A mouse?" Mom asked. She came back from the kitchen with Ben and a new muffin. + +"Yes, a mouse! It was in the hole with the zip!" Lily said. She pointed at the muffin and the zip on the floor. + +Mom looked at the muffin and the zip and gasped. She saw the mouse hole in the wall and the crumbs on the floor. + +"Oh no, we have a mouse problem!" Mom said. She put the new muffin on the table and grabbed the phone. + +"Who are you calling, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"I'm calling the mouse catcher. He will come and catch the mouse and take it away," Mom said. + +"Can we watch him catch the mouse?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. It's not safe. You have to stay away from the mouse. It might bite you," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. We will stay away from the mouse," Lily and Ben said. + +They sat on the table and ate their muffins. They hoped the mouse catcher would come soon and make the mouse go away. They did not like the mouse in their muffins. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob. + +"Hello, Bob!" they said. "You are our friend. Do you like the snow?" + +Bob did not answer. He was a snowman. He could not talk. + +One day, the sun came out and it was very warm. Tim and Sue went outside to see Bob. But they saw something else. + +"Oh no!" they cried. "Bob is melting!" + +They ran to Bob and tried to fix him. But he was too wet and soft. His hat fell off. His scarf slipped down. His carrot nose dropped to the ground. + +"Bob, Bob, don't go!" they said. "We love you!" + +But Bob could not hear them. He was a snowman. He could not feel. + +An elderly lady was walking by. She saw Tim and Sue and their melting snowman. She felt sorry for them. + +"Hello, children," she said. "What is the matter?" + +"Our snowman is melting!" they said. "He was our friend. Now he is gone!" + +The lady smiled and hugged them. + +"I know how you feel," she said. "I had a snowman friend when I was young. His name was Tom. He melted too. But you know what? He is not really gone. He is still in your hearts. And he will come back when it snows again. Do you believe that?" + +Tim and Sue nodded. They felt a little better. + +"Thank you, lady," they said. "You are very kind. What is your name?" + +"My name is Rose," she said. "And you are welcome. Do you want to come to my house for some hot chocolate?" + +Tim and Sue looked at each other. They liked hot chocolate. And they liked Rose. + +"Yes, please!" they said. + +They took Rose's hand and walked with her. They left Bob behind. But they did not forget him. He was their snowman friend. And he would come back. Not yet. But soon. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben says. + +"My doll is pretty and kind, she likes to help people!" Anna says. + +They play for a long time, until they hear their mom call them from the kitchen. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time for lunch! Come and wash your hands!" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben put their toys away and run to the kitchen. They see a big plate of sandwiches and a bowl of fruit on the table. They are hungry and happy. + +"Thank you, Mom, this looks yummy!" Anna says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom, can I have the apple?" Ben says. + +Mom smiles and gives them each a napkin. She tells them to eat nicely and not to make a mess. + +Anna and Ben start to eat their sandwiches. They are very tasty and they make them feel full. But Ben is also very thirsty and he drinks a lot of juice. He drinks so much that he spills some on his shirt and on the table. + +"Oh no, Ben, look what you did!" Anna says. + +Ben feels bad and tries to wipe the juice with his napkin. But the napkin is too small and it gets wet and sticky. He looks at Mom and sees that she is serious. + +"Ben, you have to be more careful when you drink. You made a big mess and you wasted the juice. That's not nice," Mom says. + +Ben says sorry and asks for another napkin. Mom gives him one and tells him to clean up the table and his shirt. She also tells him to drink slower and not to fill his cup too much. + +Ben does what Mom says and finishes his lunch. He says sorry again and gives Mom a hug. Mom hugs him back and tells him that she loves him, but he has to be more careful next time. + +Anna and Ben help Mom clear the table and put the dishes in the sink. Then they go back to the living room and play with their toys again. They are careful not to spill anything and they have fun. They are good children and Mom is happy. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cliff near their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go up the cliff," Ben said. "It looks easy." + +Sam was not sure. He saw that the cliff was very high and steep. He was afraid of falling. + +"I don't want to go up the cliff," Sam said. "It looks hard and scary." + +Ben did not listen to Sam. He thought he was brave and strong. He started to climb the cliff. He used his hands and feet to find places to fit. + +"Look at me, Sam," Ben shouted. "I am almost at the top. You are a baby. You are afraid of everything." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like Ben calling him a baby. He wanted to show Ben that he was not afraid. He decided to follow Ben up the cliff. + +But Sam was not good at climbing. He did not know where to fit his hands and feet. He slipped and slid on the rocks. He scratched his knees and elbows. He cried out for help. + +"Ben, help me," Sam said. "I can't go up. I can't go down. I am stuck." + +Ben heard Sam's voice. He looked down and saw Sam hanging on the cliff. He felt sorry for Sam. He realized that he was mean and foolish. He wanted to help Sam. + +"Hold on, Sam," Ben said. "I am coming to get you. Don't be afraid. I am sorry for calling you a baby. You are my brother. I love you." + +Ben carefully climbed down the cliff. He reached Sam and held his hand. He helped Sam find places to fit. Together, they went down the cliff. They hugged each other when they reached the ground. + +They were both happy and relieved. They learned a lesson. They learned that the cliff was not easy. They learned that they should not make fun of each other. They learned that they should stick together. They learned that they were brothers. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toy horses. They have a big yard with a fence. They pretend the fence is a track. They race their horses on the track. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. She makes her horse run fast. She uses a whip to make it go faster. The whip is a stick with a string. She does not hurt her horse. She just taps it lightly. + +Ben tries to catch up with Lily. His horse is tall and strong. He also uses a whip. He says, "Come on, horse, you can do it!" He wants to win the race. + +Lily and Ben run and run. They are having fun. They laugh and cheer. They do not see the cat. The cat is sleeping on the fence. The cat does not like the noise. The cat is angry. + +When Lily and Ben reach the cat, the cat jumps up. The cat hisses and scratches. Lily and Ben are scared. They drop their horses and whips. They run away from the cat. The cat chases them. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben shout. They run to the house. They slam the door. They are safe. They hug each other. They are still friends. They say, "That was a scary race!" They decide to play something else. They do not like the cat. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. Tom had a lot of yellow blocks, and Lily had a lot of blue blocks. They shared some of their blocks, but they also wanted to keep some for themselves. + +"Look at my tower!" Tom said. "It is very tall and yellow. It is the best tower ever!" + +Lily looked at Tom's tower. She thought it was nice, but she also wanted some yellow blocks. She had an idea. She waited until Tom was not looking, and then she took some of his yellow blocks and added them to her house. + +"Hey!" Tom said, when he saw what Lily did. "Those are my yellow blocks! Give them back!" + +"No!" Lily said. "I need them for my house. It is very pretty and blue and yellow. It is the best house ever!" + +Tom was angry. He did not like that Lily took his blocks. He wanted to get them back. He ran to Lily's house and pushed it with his hands. The house fell down and the blocks scattered on the floor. + +"Tom!" Lily said, crying. "You broke my house! That was not nice!" + +Tom felt bad. He saw that Lily was sad and he did not want to make her cry. He realized that he was not nice either. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have pushed your house. That was not nice. Can we share the blocks and play together?" + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry too. I should not have taken your blocks. That was not nice. Yes, we can share the blocks and play together." + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They picked up the blocks and started to build a new tower and a new house. They used yellow and blue blocks, and some other colors too. They had fun and they were happy. They learned to be nice and to share. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a key on the grass. It is shiny and big. + +"Wow, look at this key!" Tom says. "I wonder what it opens." + +"Maybe it opens a treasure chest," Anna says. "Or a magic door." + +They run around the park, looking for something to fit the key. They try the swings, the slide, the bench, but nothing works. + +They are about to give up, when they see a small house near the fence. It has a red door and a yellow roof. It looks like a toy. + +"Let's try the key there," Tom says. "Maybe it is a secret playhouse." + +They run to the house and try the key. It fits! They turn the key and open the door. Inside, they see a lot of toys and books and pillows. It is cozy and fun. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Anna says. "Someone must be very kind to leave this for us." + +"Maybe it is a gift from a fairy," Tom says. "Or a friendly giant." + +They go inside and play with the toys and books. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. + +After a while, they hear a voice outside. It is a lady. She is looking for something. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" she says. "I lost my key. It is shiny and big. Have you seen it?" + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They feel sorry for the lady. She must be the owner of the house. They decide to give her back the key. + +They go outside and see the lady. She is old and kind. She smiles when she sees them. + +"Hello, children," she says. "Are you the ones who found my key?" + +"Yes, we are," Tom says. "We are sorry. We thought it was a magic key. We played in your house. It is very nice." + +The lady laughs. She is not angry. She is glad. + +"That's all right, children," she says. "I'm happy you enjoyed my house. It is my hobby. I make toys and books for children. You can come and play anytime you want." + +She takes the key from Tom and hugs him. She hugs Anna too. She thanks them for being honest and kind. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They hug the lady back. They have a new friend. They are glad they found the key. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they pretended to be kings and queens. Lily wore a shiny crown and Ben had a sword and a cape. + +"Look at me, I am the queen of the flowers!" Lily said. She picked some roses and put them in her hair. + +"And I am the king of the animals!" Ben said. He made noises like a lion and a bear. + +They had a lot of fun until it started to rain. The rain was very wet and cold. It made their clothes and toys wet too. + +"Oh no, my crown is wet!" Lily cried. She took off her crown and tried to dry it with her dress. + +"My sword is wet too!" Ben said. He shook his sword and some water splashed on Lily. + +"Hey, don't do that!" Lily said. She was not happy. + +"Sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ben said. He felt bad. + +They ran inside the house and looked for their mom. They wanted to tell her about their game and ask for some dry clothes. + +"Mom, mom, we were playing kings and queens, but then it rained and everything got wet!" Lily said. + +"Yes, I saw that. You are both very wet!" Mom said. She smiled and gave them some towels. + +"Did you have fun?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did, but we had to stop because of the rain." Ben said. + +"Maybe you can play again tomorrow, when it is sunny." Mom said. + +"Can we, mom, can we?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"Of course you can, but only if you mention one thing." Mom said. + +"What is it, mom, what is it?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"You have to mention that you love me very much!" Mom said. + +"We do, mom, we do!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged mom and kissed her cheek. + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my little kings and queens." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes and papers. They painted flowers and animals and houses and cars. They had fun painting together. + +One day, their teacher said they could enter a painting contest. The best painting would get a medal. Tom and Lily wanted to win the medal. They worked hard on their paintings. Tom painted a big dragon with fire and scales. Lily painted a rainbow with clouds and stars. + +The next day, they brought their paintings to school. The teacher hung them on the wall with the other paintings. Tom and Lily looked at the other paintings. They saw many beautiful and different paintings. They felt troubled. They wondered if their paintings were good enough. + +The teacher looked at all the paintings. She smiled and clapped. She said they were all wonderful and creative. She said it was hard to choose the best one. She said they all deserved a medal. She gave each child a medal with a ribbon. Tom and Lily were happy. They hugged each other and thanked the teacher. + +They learned that painting was not about winning or losing. It was about having fun and expressing themselves. They decided to share their medals with each other. They went home and painted more pictures. They painted their medals and their teacher and their friends. They painted with joy and pride. +Tom and Lily liked to pretend they were on a safari. They put on hats and binoculars and took their stuffed animals outside. They said they were looking for lions and elephants and zebras. + +They walked around the yard and made noises like the animals. They saw a big rock and said it was a mountain. They climbed on it and looked around. They saw a bird and said it was an eagle. They saw a flower and said it was a sun. + +But they did not see a lion. They wanted to see a lion very much. They asked their mom where they could find a lion. She said they had to be very quiet and very wise. She said lions liked to hide in the grass and wait for their prey. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they were very quiet and very wise. They tiptoed to the grass and looked carefully. They saw something move. They saw a tail. They saw a mane. They saw a lion! + +They were very excited and very scared. They screamed and ran back to their mom. She hugged them and laughed. She said it was not a real lion. It was their dog, Rex. He had a yellow blanket on his back and a brown hat on his head. He had been pretending too. + +Tom and Lily laughed too. They said Rex was a very good lion. They said they had a very fun safari. They said they loved their mom and their dog. They said they wanted to pretend again tomorrow. +Tim and his mom went to the subway to go to the park. Tim liked the subway. It was big and fast and loud. He saw many people and things on the subway. He saw a man with a hat, a lady with a dog, a boy with a book, and a girl with a doll. + +Tim wanted to play with the doll. He asked the girl, "Can I see your doll?" + +The girl said, "No, it is mine. Go away." + +Tim was angry. He wanted the doll very much. He tried to grab the doll from the girl. The girl screamed and pulled the doll back. Tim bit the girl's arm. The girl cried and hit Tim's head. + +The mom and the lady saw what happened. They were shocked and mad. The mom said, "Tim, how could you bite the girl? That is very bad. You hurt her. You have to say sorry." + +The lady said, "Yes, you have to say sorry. And you have to give her a hug. And you have to leave her doll alone. It is not yours. It is hers." + +Tim felt sorry. He did not mean to bite the girl. He was just curious and frustrated. He said, "Sorry, girl. I am sorry I bit you. Can I give you a hug?" + +The girl was still crying, but she nodded. She said, "Okay, you can give me a hug. But don't bite me again. And don't touch my doll again. It is my favorite." + +Tim gave the girl a hug. He said, "I won't bite you again. And I won't touch your doll again. It is very pretty. You are very nice." + +The girl smiled. She said, "Thank you. You are nice too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Tim and the girl became friends. They played with the doll and the book on the subway. They had fun. They forgot about the bite and the scream. They were happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. They can make the puzzles on the floor or on the table. They have fun with puzzles. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a new puzzle in the closet. It is a big puzzle with a dragon. The dragon is red and green and has sharp teeth and claws. Lily and Ben think the dragon is scary and cool. They want to make the puzzle. + +They take the puzzle to the living room and open the box. They see many pieces of the puzzle. They start to put the pieces together. They find the pieces for the dragon's head, tail, and wings. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is coming home from work. She does not know about the puzzle. Lily and Ben are afraid. They think their mom will be angry. They think the puzzle is dangerous. They do not want to get in trouble. + +They quickly put the puzzle back in the box and hide it under the couch. They run to their room and stay there. They hope their mom will not find the puzzle. They hope the dragon will not come out of the box. They are scared and sorry. They wish they did not play with the puzzle. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue bike. Sara can ride the bike very fast. Tom can throw the ball very high. + +One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign says: "No bikes on the grass. No balls on the path." Sara and Tom are sad. They do not know where to play. + +They see a man with a hat. He works in the park. They ask him: "Can we play with our bike and ball here?" + +The man shakes his head. He says: "No, you cannot. The sign says no bikes on the grass and no balls on the path. You have to follow the rules." + +Sara and Tom are angry. They say: "But we want to play. We are not hurting anyone. Why can't you permit us to play?" + +The man says: "Because the grass is for the flowers and the birds. The path is for the people and the dogs. If you ride your bike on the grass, you will make it dirty and flat. If you throw your ball on the path, you will hit someone or make them trip. You have to be careful and respectful." + +Sara and Tom think for a moment. They do not want to make the grass dirty and flat. They do not want to hit someone or make them trip. They say: "We are sorry. We did not know. We will be careful and respectful." + +The man smiles. He says: "That's good. I have an idea. Why don't you play with your bike and ball on the other side of the park? There is a big field there. You can ride and throw as fast as you want. There is no sign there. Just watch out for the cows. They like to eat oats." + +Sara and Tom are happy. They say: "Thank you, sir. That sounds fun. We will watch out for the cows. We like oats too." + +They run to the other side of the park. They play with their bike and ball. They have a lot of fun. They see the cows. The cows are friendly. They share some oats with them. They make new friends.

Lily found a block that was a circle. It was smooth and shiny and red. + +"Look, Tom, I have a circle block!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and smooth. Can I put it on top of our tower?" + +Tom looked at the circle block. He wanted it too. It seemed very special and fun. He did not want to share it with Lily. + +"No, Lily, you cannot have the circle block. It is mine. I saw it first. Give it to me!" Tom said. He grabbed the circle block from Lily's hand. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Tom being mean and selfish. She wanted to play with the circle block too. She tried to get it back from Tom. + +"Tom, stop it! That is not fair. You have many blocks. Let me have the circle block. We can share it!" Lily said. She pulled the circle block from Tom's hand. + +Tom and Lily started to fight over the circle block. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not notice that their tower was shaking and falling. The blocks crashed to the floor and made a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Lily fighting and the blocks scattered everywhere. She was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a block? You have made a big mess and you have broken your tower. You are not being nice to each other. You are in trouble!" Mom said. She took the circle block from them and put it away. She made them clean up the blocks and go to their rooms. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and sad. They had lost their circle block and their tower and their fun. They had made Mom angry and each other unhappy. They wished they had been kind and shared the circle block. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to watch TV. She liked to watch cartoons and songs and animals. She did not like to talk to other kids or play outside. She only wanted to watch TV all day. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, you watch too much TV. You need to play with your toys or read a book or draw a picture. TV is not good for you all the time." + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She said, "No, I want to watch TV. TV is fun. TV is my friend. Leave me alone." + +Her mom was angry. She said, "Lily, if you don't turn off the TV, I will take it away. You need to learn to share and be nice. TV is not your friend. TV is a thing." + +Lily did not care. She said, "No, no, no. You can't take my TV. I love my TV. I will not share. I will not be nice. I will destroy you." + +She picked up a pillow and threw it at her mom. The pillow hit the TV and made a loud noise. The TV broke and sparks flew. Lily was scared. She cried, "Oh no, oh no, oh no. What did I do? I destroyed my TV. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You didn't mean to destroy the TV. But you need to say sorry for being rude and throwing the pillow. And you need to play with other things and other kids. TV is not everything. You have a big imagination and a big heart. You can make your own fun and friends." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry for being rude and throwing the pillow. And I'm sorry for destroying the TV. Can we fix it?" + +Her mom said, "Maybe we can fix it, maybe we can't. But we can try. And we can also try to find other things to do and watch. Maybe we can go to the park and see the birds and the flowers. Maybe we can go to the library and read some books. Maybe we can go to the playground and meet some kids. What do you think?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I think that sounds good, mom. I think I want to try new things and watch new things. And maybe I can make some new friends. Can we go now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can go now. But first, let's clean up this mess. And then, let's hug and say I love you." + +They cleaned up the mess and hugged and said I love you. Then they went out and had a fun day. Lily learned that TV was not everything and that she could be brave and kind. She was still a shy girl, but she was also a happy girl. +Tom liked to play with his black truck. He had a big yard with dirt and rocks and grass. He drove his truck over the dirt and made tracks. He drove his truck over the rocks and made noise. He drove his truck over the grass and made it flat. + +One day, he saw a big hole in the dirt. He wanted to see what was in the hole. He drove his truck closer and closer to the hole. He leaned over the edge and looked down. He saw something shiny and round. He wondered what it was. + +He reached out his hand to touch it, but he lost his balance. He fell into the hole with his truck. He was scared and cried. He wanted to get out of the hole. He tried to climb up, but the dirt was too loose. He tried to push his truck up, but it was too heavy. + +He remembered that his truck had a button that said "reverse". He pressed the button and hoped it would work. His truck started to move backwards. It made a beep beep sound. It pushed the dirt behind it. It made a path out of the hole. + +Tom followed his truck out of the hole. He was happy and relieved. He hugged his truck and thanked it. He decided not to go near the hole again. He drove his truck away from the hole and back to the grass. He played with his truck until it was time to go inside. He learned a new word: reverse. +Sara and Ben like to play with their blocks. They can make towers and houses and cars with them. Sara likes to number her blocks. She says, "One, two, three, four, five" as she puts them on top of each other. Ben likes to make shapes with his blocks. He says, "Look, Sara, I made a circle and a square and a triangle". + +One day, Sara and Ben have a problem. They want to play with the same blocks. Sara says, "I need these blocks to number them. They are mine". Ben says, "No, I need these blocks to make shapes. They are mine". They start to pull and push the blocks. The blocks fall down and make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben crying and the blocks everywhere. She says, "What happened here? Why are you fighting?" Sara and Ben tell her their problem. Mom says, "You both like to play with the blocks, but you have to share them. You can take turns or play together. How about you number the shapes that Ben makes? Or you make shapes with the numbers that Sara says?" + +Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They say sorry to each other and hug. Mom says, "That's better. Now, how about a snack? I have some prunes for you". Sara and Ben like prunes. They are sweet and soft and good for them. They say, "Yes, please, Mom". They wash their hands and sit at the table. Mom gives them each a plate with some prunes and a glass of water. She says, "Enjoy your snack. And remember to play nice with the blocks". Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom". They eat their prunes and drink their water. They can see the blocks from the window. They are clear and bright and fun. They smile and say, "We will, Mom". They are happy and ready to play again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had many clothes in their big box. They had hats, coats, dresses, shoes, and masks. They liked to try different clothes and pretend to be different people. + +One day, they found a scary mask in the box. It was black and red, with big teeth and horns. Lily wanted to try it on, but Ben was frightened. He said, "No, Lily, don't try that mask. It is too scary. It might hurt you." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She said, "Don't be silly, Ben. It is just a mask. It cannot hurt me. I want to try it on and scare you." She put the mask on her face and laughed. She said, "Boo! I am a monster. I will eat you." + +Ben was very scared. He ran away from Lily and hid under the bed. He cried and called for Mommy. Lily followed him and tried to pull him out. She said, "Come on, Ben, it is just a game. I am not a monster. I am your sister." + +But Ben did not believe her. He thought she was a real monster. He kicked and screamed and pushed her away. He scratched her face with his nails. He made her bleed. Lily was hurt and angry. She took off the mask and threw it away. She said, "You are mean, Ben. You hurt me. I hate you." + +Mommy heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting and crying. She saw the blood and the mask. She was very upset. She said, "What have you done, children? Why are you fighting? Why are you wearing that mask?" + +Lily and Ben tried to explain, but Mommy did not listen. She said, "You are both naughty. You should not play with scary things. You should not hurt each other. You should love each other. You are twins. You are family. You should be sorry." + +But Lily and Ben were not sorry. They were still angry and scared. They did not hug or say sorry. They did not love each other. They did not learn their lesson. They had a bad ending. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with scary things. Do not hurt your siblings. Listen to your parents. Love your family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bikes in the park. They always wear helmets to be safe. Helmets are hard and cover their heads. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a bike too, but he does not wear a helmet. He rides very fast and does tricks. Tom and Lily think he is cool. + +"Hi, I am Ben," the new boy says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Sure, we are Tom and Lily," Tom says. "But where is your helmet?" + +"I don't need a helmet," Ben says. "Helmets are for babies. I know how to ride well. Watch this!" + +Ben rides his bike up a ramp and jumps in the air. He twists his body and lands on the ground. Tom and Lily clap their hands. + +"Wow, you are good!" Lily says. "But you should still wear a helmet. What if you fall and hurt your head?" + +"I won't fall," Ben says. "I am flexible. I can bend and move easily. Helmets are too tight and heavy. They make me slow." + +Tom and Lily shake their heads. They think Ben is wrong. Helmets are not too tight or heavy. They are just right. They make them fast and safe. + +"Come on, let's go," Ben says. "Follow me. I will show you more tricks." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They are not sure. They want to play with Ben, but they also want to be safe. They decide to follow Ben, but they keep their helmets on. They know helmets are important. They hope Ben will learn that too. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box that they made into a house. They put a blanket on top and some pillows inside. They pretended they were in a castle and they had to fight monsters. + +One day, they saw a big cloud of smoke in the sky. They heard a loud roar. They were scared. They thought it was a monster that could burn things. They ran inside their box and hid under the blanket. + +They heard the monster come closer. It sounded angry. It smelled bad. They felt the heat from its fire. They hugged each other and hoped the monster would go away. + +But then, they heard another sound. It was a siren. It was a fire truck. The fire truck came to the garden and sprayed water on the monster. The monster was really a pile of leaves that someone had set on fire. The fire truck put out the fire and the smoke. The monster was gone. + +Tom and Lily peeked out from their box. They saw the fire truck and the firefighters. They were amazed. They thought the firefighters were heroes. They thanked them for saving them from the monster. The firefighters smiled and gave them stickers. They told them to be careful and not to play with fire. Tom and Lily nodded and said they would. They went back to their box and played some more. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Mia is the hider.

She goes behind the tree and waits for Tom. + +Tom counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Mia. He sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and a fountain, but he does not see Mia. He wonders where she is. He walks towards the big tree. + +The wind blows hard and makes the leaves move. Mia feels the wind on her face. She thinks it is fun. She giggles and says, "Whee!" Tom hears her giggle and smiles. He knows where she is. He runs to the big tree and says, "I found you, Mia!" + +Mia comes out from behind the tree and says, "You are good, Tom! You found me!" Tom says, "You are good, too, Mia! You hid well!" They hug and laugh. They are happy. They decide to play again. This time, Mia is the seeker and Tom is the hider. They run to find new spots to hide and seek. + +They play hide and seek for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They do not care that their clothes are cheap and dirty. They do not care that their shoes are old and worn. They only care that they are friends and that they are playing. They love hide and seek. They love the park. They love the wind. They love each other. +Anna was a little girl who loved her alarm. It was a pink bunny with big ears and a cute nose. Every morning, it would make a loud noise and wake her up for school.

You were very naughty." + +Anna started to cry. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see what was inside. I didn't mean to break it. I love my alarm. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "I'm not mad at you, Anna. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful with things that have electricity. They can be dangerous. And you have to ask me before you use my tools. They are not toys. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I'll never do it again." + +Mom said, "I hope so, Anna. But I'm afraid your alarm is gone. It can't be fixed. You'll have to find another way to wake up in the morning." + +Anna looked at her alarm. It was black and burnt and ugly. She felt very sad. She said, "Goodbye, bunny. You were my best friend. I'll miss you." +Sara loved music. She liked to sing and dance and play with her toy drum.

I'm famous!" + +Her mother smiled and waved. She was proud of Sara too. But she also saw something that Sara did not see. A big truck was coming behind the parade. It was very loud and fast. It honked its horn. It wanted the parade to move. + +"Watch out, Sara, watch out!" her mother yelled. She ran to the street and grabbed Sara. She pulled her away from the truck. The truck zoomed past them. It almost hit Sara and her drum. + +Sara was scared. She hugged her mother and cried. She dropped her drum and spoon. She did not want to be in the parade anymore. She did not want to be famous. She just wanted to be safe and loved. + +Her mother kissed her and comforted her. She picked up her drum and spoon. She said, "It's OK, Sara, it's OK. You are very brave and talented. You can be famous another day. But today, let's go home and have some cookies. I love you, Sara. You are my star." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But sometimes, Ben liked to tease Lily and make her mad. + +One day, Ben saw Lily wearing a yellow dress with flowers on it. He thought it was funny and wanted to make her laugh. He ran up to her and said, "Lily, Lily, you look like a big yellow bee! Buzz, buzz, buzz!" + +Lily did not think it was funny. She felt hurt and angry. She said, "Ben, that is not nice! You are being mean to me! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +Ben was surprised and sad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He only wanted to joke with her. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was just teasing. I think your dress is very pretty. You are my charming friend. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said, "Ben, I accept your sorry. But don't tease me again. It is not fun. It is rude. Let's play nicely together." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Lily, you are right. Teasing is not nice. It is rude. I will play nicely with you. You are my charming friend too." + +Lily and Ben hugged and made up. They went back to playing in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They did not tease each other anymore. They were happy friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. They want to gather the leaves and make a fort. + +"Let's gather the leaves and make a fort!" Tom says. + +"OK!"

Ben says. + +He kicks the leaves and scatters them. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They try to stop Ben, but he is too strong. He hurts their skin with his hands and feet. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are mean!" Tom says. + +"Leave us alone, Ben! You are not nice!" Mia says. + +But Ben does not listen. He laughs and keeps kicking the leaves. + +Tom and Mia do not know what to do. They look around for help. They see a lady. She is a teacher. She works at the park. She sees what Ben is doing. She walks over to him. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" she says. + +She is not happy.

It is too hard." + +Ben looks at the box. He sees something useful. It is a long, thin rail. It is longer than the other rails. + +"Look, Anna!" Ben says. "We can use this rail.

They pretended to be scared and said, "No, please, don't touch us with your palm!" + +The big boy smiled and said, "Too bad! I will touch you anyway!" He reached out his palm to Lily and Ben. But they were ready. They both pushed his palm back to his face. The worms and mud splashed on his nose and mouth. He screamed and ran away. + +Lily and Ben high-fived each other.

But you still have to share your cookie with me. That's the rule of hide and seek." + +Max nods and smiles. He opens his backpack and takes out his cookie.

They used a shoebox as their house, a ruler as their bridge, and a pillow as their mountain. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shiny ring!" Max said, holding a silver ring he had found in his mom's drawer. "It's so pretty and big! Can I wear it?" + +"Okay, but be careful, Max. Mom said we should not touch her things. She might get mad," Lily said. + +Max put the ring on his finger and felt very happy.

He was so tiny that she could barely see him. She was shocked and sad. + +"Max! What happened to you? How can I help you?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. I think it's the ring. It's too big for me. It's making me shrink. Please, take it off me!" Max said. + +Lily tried to reach Max, but he was too far away. She had to cross the living room, which was like a jungle for her. She saw a spider, a mouse, and a dust ball. She was afraid, but she loved her brother. She wanted to save him. + +She ran as fast as she could, dodging the obstacles. She reached Max and grabbed his hand. She pulled the ring off his finger and threw it away. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Max. I'm sorry I let you wear the ring. It was a bad idea. Are you okay?" + +Max felt a warm tingling in his body. He started to grow again. He became bigger and bigger, until he was the same size as Lily. He hugged her back and said, "I'm okay, Lily.

The box is red and shiny. They want to see what is inside the box. + +"Let's get the box!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and tries to climb it. But the tree is too tall and he falls down. He hurts his knee and cries. + +Lily runs to Tom and hugs him. "Are you okay?" she asks. Tom nods and wipes his tears. He points to the box. "I want the box," he says. + +Lily looks at the tree. She has an idea. She sees a long stick on the ground. She picks it up and walks to the tree. She reaches the stick to the branch and pushes the box. The box falls down and lands on the grass. + +"Yay! You saved the box!" Tom says. He limps to the box and opens it. Inside the box, there is a toy car. It is blue and shiny. Tom smiles and gives the car to Lily. "You can have it. You are my hero," he says. + +Lily smiles and takes the car. She gives Tom a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you. You are my friend," she says. They play with the car and have fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with a basketball. They have a big ball that is orange and black. They can bounce it and throw it and catch it. + +One day, they go to the park to play with the ball. They see a small dog. The dog is white and fluffy. It has a pink bow on its head. The dog is adorable. Anna and Ben want to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy," Anna says. "You are so cute. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags its tail. It likes Anna and Ben. It lets them pet it. It licks their faces. Anna and Ben giggle. + +But then, the dog sees the ball. It thinks the ball is a toy. It runs to the ball and grabs it with its mouth. It runs away with the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouts. "Come back, doggy!" + +Anna and Ben chase the dog. They want to get their ball back. But the dog is fast and smart. It dodges them and runs around the park. It has fun with the ball. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They can't catch the dog. They can't play with their ball. They sit on a bench and pout. + +A lady comes to the park. She sees the dog and the ball. She sees Anna and Ben. She knows the dog. The dog is hers. + +"Roxie, what are you doing?" the lady says. "That's not your ball. That's their ball. Give it back, Roxie." + +The lady calls the dog. The dog listens to the lady. It drops the ball and runs to the lady. The lady picks up the ball and gives it to Anna and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the lady says. "Roxie didn't mean to take your ball. She just likes to play. She thought you were playing with her. She's a good dog, but sometimes she's naughty. Can you forgive her?" + +Anna and Ben look at the lady. They look at the dog. The dog looks at them with big eyes. It wags its tail. It still looks adorable. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are not sad and angry anymore. They are happy and kind. + +"It's okay, lady," Anna says. "We forgive Roxie. She's a good dog, too. She just wanted to have fun. We like to have fun, too. Can we play with Roxie?" + +The lady nods. She is happy and kind, too. + +"Sure, you can play with Roxie," the lady says. "But be careful with the ball. Don't let her take it again. And share it with her. She likes to play fetch. Do you know how to play fetch?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They know how to play fetch. They throw the ball and Roxie runs after it. She brings it back and drops it. They do it again and again. They have fun with the ball and the dog. + +Anna and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that sometimes things go wrong. They learn that sometimes people and animals make mistakes. They learn that they can be angry and sad, but they can also be happy and kind. They learn that they can forgive and share and play. They learn that they can make new friends. They learn that life is good. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to talk about the seasons. Lily liked summer best. Ben liked winter best. + +One day, they went to the park. It was very dry. The grass was brown. The trees had no leaves. The sun was hot. Lily and Ben were thirsty. + +"Let's go to the fountain," Lily said. "We can drink some water and cool down." + +"OK," Ben said. "But be careful. The fountain is near the road. There are many cars. They go fast. They can hurt us." + +They walked to the fountain. They saw the water. It was shiny and clear. They ran to the fountain. They forgot about the road. + +A car came. It was big and loud. It did not see Lily and Ben. It did not stop. + +Lily and Ben did not see the car. They did not hear the car. They only saw the water. They only heard the water. + +The car hit Lily and Ben. They flew in the air. They fell on the ground. They did not get up. They did not talk. They did not play. + +The water kept flowing. The sun kept shining. The seasons kept changing. But Lily and Ben were gone. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the plants, but they also liked to play and have fun. One day, they found a toy gun in the barn. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when they pressed the button. + +"Let's play shoot, shoot!" Tom said to Lily. "I will be the cowboy and you will be the horse." + +"Okay!" Lily said. She put a hat on her head and ran around the farm, making horse sounds. Tom chased her with the toy gun, pretending to shoot at her. They laughed and had a good time. + +But they did not see that their mom was baking a pie in the kitchen. She had put the pie on the window sill to cool down. It smelled delicious and looked yummy. A bird saw the pie and flew down to have a taste. It pecked at the crust and the filling, making a mess. + +Tom and Lily ran past the window and saw the bird and the pie. They stopped and gasped. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "The bird is eating our pie!" + +"Shoot, shoot!" Lily said. "We have to stop it!" + +They aimed their toy gun at the bird and pressed the button. The toy gun made a loud noise and scared the bird away. The bird flew off, leaving the pie behind. + +"Yay!" Tom and Lily cheered. "We saved the pie!" + +They ran into the kitchen and told their mom what happened. Their mom was not happy that they played with the toy gun, but she was glad that they scared the bird away. She cut a slice of pie for each of them and gave them a hug. + +"Thank you for saving the pie," she said. "But next time, please ask me before you play with the toy gun. It is not a real gun and it is not safe to shoot at animals or people." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry. They ate their pie and agreed that it was delicious. They decided to play something else next time, like hide and seek or tag. They loved their farm and their mom and dad. They were happy. +Lily liked to count. She counted her toys, her books, her fingers and toes. She counted the birds in the sky, the cars on the road, the stars at night. She counted everything she saw and heard. + +One day, Lily went to visit her grandma. Grandma was very old. She had white hair, wrinkled skin and glasses. She lived in a small house with a garden. Lily liked to play in the garden with the flowers and the bugs. + +Grandma was very tidy. She liked to keep everything in its place. She had a shelf with many books, a box with many buttons, a jar with many coins. She let Lily look at them, but she told her to be careful and not to make a mess. + +Lily wanted to count the books, the buttons and the coins. She asked Grandma if she could. Grandma smiled and said yes, but she had to put them back where they belonged. Lily agreed and started to count. + +She counted the books one by one, from left to right. She counted the buttons by color, from red to blue. She counted the coins by size, from big to small. She was very happy and proud. She told Grandma how many she counted. Grandma was very happy and proud too. She hugged Lily and gave her a cookie. Lily said thank you and put everything back in its place. She was a very good and tidy girl. +Ben was very happy. It was his birthday and he had a big cake with candles. He saw many gifts on the table. He wanted to open them and see what was inside. + +He asked his mom if he could open the gifts. His mom said yes, but he had to wait for his friends to come. Ben said okay and waited. He looked at the gifts and wondered what they were. + +Soon, his friends came and they all said happy birthday to Ben. They gave him hugs and cards. They also brought more gifts for him. Ben thanked them and smiled. He had so many gifts! + +His mom said it was time to open the gifts. Ben was very excited. He picked one gift and tore the paper. He saw a big box with a picture of a train. He liked trains. He opened the box and saw a modern train. It had lights and sounds and could move on the tracks. He was very happy. He said thank you to his friend who gave him the train. + +He picked another gift and tore the paper. He saw a small box with a picture of a book. He liked books.

He opened the box and saw a modern guitar. It had colors and sounds and could play songs. He was very happy. He said thank you to his friend who gave him the guitar. + +He reached for another gift, but his mom said it was enough for now. She said he could open the rest later. She said it was time to blow the candles and eat the cake. Ben agreed. He had so many gifts, but he also wanted cake. He blew the candles and made a wish. He wished for more fun and more friends. He was very happy. It was his best birthday ever. +Lily liked books. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She had many books in her room, but she wanted more. One day, she saw a big book on the shelf in the living room. It had a shiny cover and many pages. She wanted to see what was inside. + +She waited until Mommy and Daddy were busy. Then she climbed on the chair and reached for the book. She pulled it down and hugged it. It was heavy and hard. She wandered to her room with the book. She wanted to read it on her bed. + +But she did not know that the book was very old and special. It belonged to Daddy's grandpa. It had many stories and secrets. Daddy loved the book and took good care of it. He did not want anyone to touch it or hurt it. + +When Daddy came to the living room, he saw the empty shelf. He looked around and saw the chair and the book's corner on the floor. He knew what happened. He was angry and scared. He ran to Lily's room and opened the door. + +He saw Lily on the bed with the book. She had opened it and was looking at the pictures. Some pages were torn and wrinkled. Some pictures were colored with crayons. Daddy was very sad and mad. He shouted at Lily and took the book away. He told her she was bad and naughty. He told her to go to the corner and think about what she did. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She did not understand why Daddy was so angry. She did not know the book was special. She just wanted to read it and have fun. She started to cry and say sorry. She felt bad and sorry. She wished she had not taken the book. She wished Daddy was not mad at her. She wished she had a hug and a story. She was not ready for this. +Tim and Sam were two brothers who lived on a farm. They had to help their dad with the chores every day. One of the chores was to sort the hay for the animals. Tim liked to sort the hay by color and size. He made neat piles of yellow, brown and green hay. Sam did not like to sort the hay at all. He just threw the hay around and made a mess. + +One day, their dad told them to sort the hay for the cows, the horses and the sheep. He said he would check on them later. Tim started to sort the hay carefully. He made three big piles of hay for each animal. Sam did not want to sort the hay. He wanted to play with his toy truck. He left Tim alone and went to the barn. + +Tim worked hard and finished sorting the hay. He was proud of his work. He called Sam to come and see. But Sam did not answer. Tim went to the barn to look for him. He saw Sam playing with his toy truck on the floor. He also saw something else. He saw a big red fire. The fire was burning the hay and the barn. Sam had left a candle near the hay and it had started the fire. + +Tim was scared. He ran to Sam and grabbed his hand. He tried to pull him out of the barn. But the fire was too big and too hot. They could not get out. They screamed for help. But no one heard them. Their dad was in the field. The fire burned the barn and the hay and the brothers. They died in the fire. + +Their dad came back and saw the fire. He was sad and angry. He cried for his sons. He wished they had listened to him and sorted the hay. He wished Sam had not played with the candle. He wished Tim had not gone to the barn. He wished he had been there to save them. He was not grateful for anything. He had lost everything. + +The moral of the story is: You should do your chores and not play with fire. You should be grateful for what you have and not take it for granted. You should listen to your dad and help your brother. You should be careful and safe. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Lily wanted to try it, but Tom was scared. He said, "That slide is too high and fast. You will fall and hurt yourself." + +Lily was brave and said, "No, I won't. I want to go on the slide. It looks like fun. You are just a baby who is afraid of everything." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not like when Lily teased him. He said, "Fine, go on the slide then. But I will not go with you. I will play with someone else." + +Lily did not care. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw how high and fast the slide was. She felt a little scared, but she did not want to show it. She said to herself, "I can do this. I am brave. Tom is a baby." + +She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She went very fast and felt the wind in her hair. She was having fun, until she saw a big hole in the slide. She did not have time to stop or scream. She fell through the hole and landed on the ground. She felt a lot of pain in her arm and leg. She cried and cried. + +Tom heard her cry and ran to her. He saw her lying on the ground with blood and dirt on her. He felt sorry for her and scared. He said, "Lily, are you okay? What happened?" + +Lily looked at him and said, "I fell through the hole in the slide. It hurts so much. I want to go home." + +Tom said, "I will get help. Don't move. I will be right back." + +He ran to find a grown-up who could help. He saw a man with a measure in his hand. He was fixing the slide. He said, "Hey, mister, please help. My friend fell through the hole in the slide. She is hurt." + +The man looked surprised and said, "What? How did that happen? I was just about to measure the hole and fix it. I put a sign that said 'Do not use the slide. It is broken.' Did you not see it?" + +Tom looked and saw the sign. He did not see it before. He felt very bad. He said, "No, I did not see it. I am sorry. Please help my friend. She is brave, but she is hurt." + +The man said, "Okay, okay. Don't worry. I will call an ambulance. Stay with your friend and try to calm her down. It will be okay." + +Tom went back to Lily and held her hand. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I should not have teased you. You are brave, but you should be careful too. The slide was broken. There was a sign, but we did not see it. A man is calling an ambulance. They will take you to the hospital and make you better." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Tom. I am sorry too. I should not have teased you. You are not a baby. You are my friend. I hope I will be okay." + +They hugged and waited for the ambulance. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind and careful, and not to tease each other. But they also learned that being brave can be dangerous, and sometimes things can go wrong. They wished they had played with something else. They wished they had not gone on the slide. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They could make the box into anything they wanted: a house, a car, a spaceship, or a castle. + +One day, they decided to make the box into a meeting room. They put some chairs and a table inside the box and pretended to be important people. They talked about their plans and ideas and gave each other papers and pens. + +But then, they started to argue. Tom wanted to be the boss and tell Lily what to do. Lily wanted to be the boss and tell Tom what to do. They raised their voices and made angry faces. They forgot to have fun. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting in the box and said, "What are you doing? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were having a meeting, but we could not agree. We wanted to be the boss." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I see. Well, meetings are not always easy. Sometimes, people have different opinions and feelings. But you can still be respectful and kind to each other. You can listen and share and compromise. You can find a way to settle your problems and work together." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "You are right, mom. We will try to do that. We will settle our problems and work together." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you go outside and play? It's a sunny day and the air is dry. You can take your box and make something else with it." + +Tom and Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +They took their box and went outside. They decided to make the box into a boat and sail on the grass. They had fun and played nicely. They were happy twins. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the park. One day, they pretended to be mighty birds with big wings. They flapped their arms and ran around the grass. + +"Look at me, I'm a hawk!" Ben said. "I can fly high and catch mice!" + +"I'm a swan!" Lily said. "I can swim in the lake and make beautiful sounds!" + +They had fun pretending to be different birds. But then they saw a real bird in a tree. It was a crow. It had black feathers and a loud voice. + +"Hey, you are not birds!" the crow said. "You are silly kids! You can't fly or swim or sing like me!" + +The crow laughed at Lily and Ben. He made fun of their pretend wings and sounds. He hurt their feelings. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They wanted to play pretend, but the crow was mean to them. + +"Go away, crow!" Ben said. "You are not nice! You are rude!" + +"Yeah, go away!" Lily said. "You are not mighty! You are mean!" + +The crow was surprised. He thought he was better than Lily and Ben. He thought he could make them stop playing pretend. But he was wrong. + +Lily and Ben did not listen to the crow. They kept playing pretend. They pretended to be mighty birds with big wings. They flapped their arms and ran around the grass. + +They had fun pretending to be different birds. They did not care what the crow said. They were happy and proud. + +The crow felt lonely and bored. He wished he had friends to play with. He wished he was not so mean. + +The moral of the story is: Don't make fun of others who are different from you. Be kind and respectful. You can have more fun and friends if you are nice. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the ugly ashtray near the bench. It was dirty and smelly and had old sticks in it. They wished someone would take it away. + +One day, they saw a man with a big bag and a stick. He was picking up trash from the ground and putting it in his bag. He came to the bench and saw the ashtray. He smiled and said, "I have an idea. I can solve this problem." + +He took the ashtray and put it on the ground. He used his stick to break it into pieces. Then he put the pieces in his bag. He said, "Now the ashtray is gone. It can be made into something new and nice. Maybe a cup or a plate or a toy." + +Ben and Lily clapped and cheered. They thanked the man for his help. They were happy that the ugly ashtray was gone. They played in the park and had fun. They hoped the man would come back and solve more problems. +Lila loved pandas. She had a big panda toy that she hugged every night. She also had a book with pictures of pandas in the forest. She liked to look at the book and learn new things about pandas. + +One day, Lila went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very excited to see the real pandas. She ran to the panda enclosure and looked for them. She saw two pandas sitting on a rock, eating bamboo. They looked very happy and fluffy. + +"Hi, pandas!" Lila shouted. She waved her hand at them. She hoped they would wave back. But the pandas did not see her. They were too busy with their food. + +Lila felt sad. She wanted to play with the pandas. She asked her mom, "Why don't the pandas wave at me?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Pandas are shy animals, Lila. They don't like to wave at strangers. They only wave at their friends and family." + +Lila thought for a moment. She wanted to be friends with the pandas. She had an idea. She took out her panda toy from her backpack and held it up. She waved it at the pandas. + +The pandas looked up and saw the toy. They saw that it looked like them. They felt curious and happy. They waved their paws at the toy. They also waved at Lila. + +Lila was overjoyed. She waved back at the pandas. She felt like she had made new friends. She said, "Thank you, pandas. You are very nice. I love you." + +The pandas nodded and smiled. They loved Lila too. They were no longer troubled by the noise and the people. They had found a friend who understood them. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big poster of a leopard on the wall.

They asked mom how long they had to wait. + +Mom said she did not know. She said they had to be patient and calm. She said that the leopard was very powerful and beautiful and that it was worth the wait. She said that maybe the leopard was waiting for them too. She said that maybe the leopard had a surprise for them. + +Tom and Lily did not know what mom meant. They wondered what the surprise was. They tried to be patient and calm. They looked at the poster of the leopard again. They imagined how the leopard looked in real life. They hoped that the traffic would move soon. + +After a long time, the traffic moved. The bus driver said that they could go to the zoo now. Tom and Lily were very happy. They thanked the bus driver and got off the bus. They ran to the zoo gate with mom. They paid for their tickets and entered the zoo. They followed the signs that said "Leopard". + +They reached the leopard's enclosure. They looked for the leopard. They saw a big rock, some trees, some grass, and some water. But they did not see the leopard. They were confused. They asked mom where the leopard was. + +Mom said that maybe the leopard was hiding. She said that leopards were very good at hiding. She said that they had to look carefully and quietly. She said that maybe the leopard would come out if they were nice and friendly. + +Tom and Lily looked carefully and quietly. They were nice and friendly. They said hello to the leopard. They said that they wanted to see it. They said that they liked it. + +Then, they heard a sound. It was a loud roar. It came from behind the rock. They saw something move. It was the leopard.

I'm a princess!" + +Her mom turned around and smiled. She said, "You are a princess, Lily. You are my princess. But where did you get that veil?" + +Lily said, "I found it in your closet. Can I wear it, please?" + +Her mom looked sad. She said, "No, Lily. You can't wear it. That veil is very special. It was my mom's veil. She wore it on her wedding day. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. It is not a toy. It is a memory." + +Lily did not understand. She said, "But I like it. It makes me happy. Why can't I wear it?" + +Her mom said, "Because it is not yours, Lily. It is mine. And I don't want it to get dirty or torn. You have to be careful with it. You have to respect it.

Lily liked white stuff. She thought it was milk. + +She took a spoon and put some white stuff in her mouth. But it was not milk. It was sour. Lily made a face and spit it out. She did not like sour stuff. She recognized it was yogurt. Mommy liked yogurt, but Lily did not. + +She put the bowl back on the table. She looked for something else to eat. She saw a banana on the counter. She liked bananas. They were sweet and soft. She peeled the banana and took a bite. She smiled. She was happy. She found some good food. +Lily and Mom went to the park. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Lily had fun with Mom and the other kids. She saw a big dog and a red ball. She laughed and ran a lot. + +"Time to go home, Lily," Mom said. "We have to make dinner and do homework." + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. She followed Mom to the car. She was tired and hungry. + +But when they got to the car, Mom said, "Oh no! I forgot my purse! I left it on the bench!" + +Lily looked at the bench. She saw Mom's purse. It was blue and shiny. She liked Mom's purse. + +"I'll get it, Mom," Lily said. She ran back to the bench. She was fast and brave. + +But when she got to the bench, she saw a man. He was holding Mom's purse. He was not nice. He was slow and sneaky. + +"Hey, that's my Mom's purse!" Lily said. She tried to grab the purse. She was angry and loud. + +The man was scared. He dropped the purse and ran away. He was a thief. He was bad and silly. + +Lily picked up the purse and ran back to Mom. She was happy and proud. + +"Here, Mom, I got your purse!" Lily said. She gave Mom the purse. She hugged Mom. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are amazing!" Mom said. She kissed Lily. She hugged Lily. She was grateful and relieved. + +They got in the car and drove home. They had dinner and did homework. They had a good day. They did not forget to say "I love you". They were a family. They were happy and safe. +Sara loves yogurt. She likes to eat it with a spoon or dip her fruit in it. Sometimes, she makes funny faces with it on her mouth. She thinks yogurt is yummy and fun. + +One day, Sara sees a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. She wants to have some, but Mom says no. Mom says it is not for Sara, it is for a surprise. Sara is curious. She wonders what the surprise is. She thinks maybe it is a cake or a pie or a pudding. + +Later, Sara hears Mom call her and her brother Ben. She runs to the kitchen and sees Mom holding a big tray. Mom smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you. It is a special treat I made with yogurt." She puts the tray on the table and lifts a thin cloth. She reveals a lot of small cups with different colors of yogurt. Sara gasps. She sees red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple yogurt. They look like rainbows. + +Mom says, "These are yogurt pops. I mixed yogurt with fruit juice and froze them in the freezer. They are cold and sweet and healthy. You can each have one. Which color do you want?" Sara and Ben clap their hands. They are excited. They love yogurt pops. Sara chooses a purple one and Ben chooses a green one. They thank Mom and take a bite. They smile and say, "Mmm, delicious!" + +Sara thinks Mom is the best. She thinks yogurt is the best. She thinks yogurt pops are the best surprise ever.

She wanted to learn how to prepare yummy food for her family. One day, her mom asked her to wash some apples for a pie. Lily was happy and ran to the sink. + +She turned on the water and started to scrub the apples. But she did not notice that the water was too hot. She burned her hand and dropped an apple. She cried out loud and felt dizzy. Her mom heard her and came to the sink. She turned off the water and hugged Lily. She put some ice on her hand and said, "It's okay, my sweetie. You are very brave. But you have to be careful with the water. It can be hot or cold. You have to check it before you use it." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help you. I love you." Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good helper. But you have to be safe too. Let me show you how to check the water." + +They finished washing the apples and made the pie together. It smelled so good. They put it on the table to cool down. Then they heard a knock on the door. Lily ran to the door and opened it. She saw a man with a big bag. He said, "Hello, little girl. I have some candy for you. Do you want some?" + +Lily liked candy. She reached for the bag. But her mom came to the door and said, "Stop, Lily. Don't take anything from a stranger. You don't know him. He could be bad. You have to ask me first." She closed the door and said, "Sorry, sir. We don't want your candy. Please go away." + +Lily was confused. She said, "But mom, he was nice. He had candy." Her mom said, "Lily, not all people are nice. Some people are mean. They want to trick you or hurt you. You have to be careful with strangers. You have to stay with me or someone you know. You have to say no to strangers." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a smart girl. But you have to be safe too. Let me show you how to say no to strangers." + +They ate the pie together and it was delicious. Lily learned how to prepare food, how to check the water, and how to say no to strangers. She was happy and proud. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." Her mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best too." +Lila liked to play on the sand with her toys. She had a bucket, a spade, and a big red ball. She made a castle with the spade and the bucket, and put the ball on top. She was very proud of her castle. + +But then a big wave came from the sea. It was very fast and loud. It washed away Lila's castle and took her ball with it. Lila was very sad and scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. + +Mom saw what happened and felt sorry for Lila. She said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We can make another castle. And maybe we can get your ball back. Look, there is a boy over there. He has a net. Maybe he can help us." + +Lila looked at the boy. He was a little older than her, and he had blond hair and blue eyes. He was holding a net and a bucket. He was looking for shells and fish in the water. He seemed nice, but Lila was shy. She did not know how to talk to him. + +Mom said, "Come on, let's go and ask him. Maybe he will be your friend." She took Lila's hand and walked to the boy. She smiled and said, "Hello, we are Lila and her mom. We are here for the day. What is your name?" + +The boy looked at them and smiled back. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. I live here with my dad. I like the sea. It is fun and beautiful. Do you want to see what I found?" He showed them his bucket. It had some shells, a starfish, and a small crab. + +Lila was curious. She liked the shells and the starfish. She was a little afraid of the crab. She said, "Wow, they are pretty. Can I touch them?" + +Ben said, "Sure, you can. But be careful with the crab. He might pinch you. You have to hold him gently." He took the crab out of the bucket and gave it to Lila. Lila held it in her hand. It felt hard and tickly. She giggled. + +Mom said, "That's very nice of you, Ben. Thank you for sharing. You know, we have a problem. A big wave took Lila's ball. It was her favorite toy. Do you think you can help us find it?" + +Ben said, "Oh, I'm sorry. That's not good. Maybe I can. I have a net. I can pull it in the water and see if I catch the ball. Do you want to help me?" + +Lila said, "Yes, please. That would be great. Thank you, Ben. You are very kind." She smiled at him. She was not shy anymore. She was happy. + +Mom said, "That's wonderful. You two are very sweet. Let's go and look for the ball. Maybe we will find it. And maybe we will find some more treasures from the sea." She took Lila's and Ben's hands and walked to the water. They had fun together. They became friends. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the backyard. They had a big box that was their treasure chest. They also had a map that showed them where to find more treasure. The map had a big X on it. + +"Let's go find the X, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Okay, Lily, but we have to be careful. The X is in the unknown part of the yard. There might be monsters or traps there!" Ben said. + +They followed the map and walked to the other side of the yard. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. The map said the X was inside the hole. + +"Look, Ben, there is the X!" Lily said. "But how do we get inside the hole? It is too small for us!" + +"Maybe there is a key somewhere," Ben said. "Let's look around." + +They searched the ground and found a shiny metal thing. It looked like a key. + +"Maybe this is the key, Lily!" Ben said. "Let's try it!" + +They went to the hole and put the key in a small hole next to it. They turned the key and heard a click. The hole opened and they saw a small door. + +"Wow, we unlocked the door, Ben!" Lily said. "Let's see what is inside!" + +They opened the door and peeked inside. They saw a bright light and a lot of colorful things. They smelled something sweet and heard music. + +"What is this, Lily?" Ben said. "It looks like a magic place!" + +"Maybe it is, Ben!" Lily said. "Maybe this is the real treasure!" + +They smiled and went inside the hole. They were very happy and curious. They wanted to explore the magic place and have fun. They forgot about the map and the box. They only cared about the adventure. +Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They also had a big spoon to stir. + +"Can I stir, Tom?" Sue asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't spill anything," Tom said. + +Sue took the spoon and started to stir. She stirred fast and hard. She liked to see the flour and the eggs and the milk and the sugar mix together. She stirred and stirred and stirred. + +But she stirred too much. The bowl tipped over and the cake mix spilled on the floor. It made a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Sue said. + +They heard a noise. It was Mom. She was coming to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. She sounded fierce. + +"We wanted to make a cake for you, Mom," Tom said. + +"But you made a big mess instead," Mom said. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Sue said. + +Mom sighed. She was not really fierce. She loved Tom and Sue. She saw the big spoon in Sue's hand. + +"Did you stir the cake mix, Sue?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom. I stirred and stirred and stirred," Sue said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Tom and Sue. + +"That's very sweet of you, Sue. But next time, you need to stir gently and slowly. And you need to ask me for help. OK?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom," Tom and Sue said. + +Mom helped them clean up the mess. Then she gave them some cookies from the chest. The chest was where Mom kept the cookies and the candies and the other treats. Tom and Sue liked the chest. + +They ate the cookies and thanked Mom. They decided to make a card for Mom instead of a cake. They used some paper and some crayons and some stickers. They wrote "We love you, Mom" on the card. They gave it to Mom. Mom was very happy. She kissed Tom and Sue. + +They all hugged and smiled. They were a happy family. +Lila liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her friends, and her dog. She also liked to create stories in her head. She imagined going on adventures with her crayons and paper. + +One day, she decided to create a story about a cliff. She drew a big, tall cliff with rocks and grass. She also drew a blue sky, a yellow sun, and some white clouds. She wondered what it would be like to stand on the cliff and look at the sky. + +She took her crayons and paper and went to the backyard. She found a big rock that looked like a cliff. She climbed on the rock and pretended it was the cliff in her picture. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and said, "This is fun!" + +She saw a bird flying in the sky. She wanted to draw the bird on her paper. She reached for her crayons, but they were too far away. She leaned over the rock to get them, but she lost her balance. She screamed and fell off the rock. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran to the backyard. She saw Lila on the ground, crying and holding her knee. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "Are you okay, sweetie? What happened?" + +Lila told her mom about her story and her cliff. She showed her mom her picture and her crayons. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was not thoughtful. I should have been careful on the rock." + +Her mom kissed her knee and said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you're creative and imaginative. But you're right, you should also be thoughtful and safe. Next time, don't climb on the rock. You can draw your cliff and your bird from the ground." + +Lila nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lila. Now let's go inside and get a band-aid for your knee." +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna said. + +"Yes, he is! Let's clap for him!" Ben said. + +They clapped their hands and cheered for their snowman. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was coming from the chimney of the house next to them. They saw smoke and sparks flying out of the chimney. They saw a man in a red suit and a big bag coming out of the chimney. He was coughing and sneezing. + +"Oh no, it's Santa!" Anna said. + +"What is he doing here?" Ben said. + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. A woman opened the door. She looked upset. + +"Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" she asked. + +"We saw Santa coming out of your chimney. Is he okay?" Anna asked. + +The woman sighed. She pointed to the living room. There, they saw Santa sitting on the couch. He looked upset too. + +"I'm sorry, kids. I was trying to deliver some presents, but the chimney was too small. I got stuck and the fire burned my suit and my bag. Now, I don't have any presents left," Santa said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for Santa. They wanted to help him. + +"Santa, we have an idea. You can take our snowman. He is a present for you. He is very nice and he will make you happy," Anna said. + +"Yes, Santa. You can have our snowman. We made him with love. He will keep you warm and he will make you smile," Ben said. + +They took Santa outside and showed him their snowman. Santa looked at the snowman. He saw his hat and his scarf. He saw his carrot nose and his rock eyes. He saw his smile. + +Santa smiled too. He hugged Anna and Ben. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very kind and generous. You have given me the best present ever.

You have made me happy," Santa said. + +He clapped his hands and cheered for the snowman. + +Anna and Ben clapped their hands and cheered too. + +They were very happy with Santa. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they both liked the same one: a red car that could make noises and move. Lily had the car first, but Ben wanted it too. + +"Give me the car, Lily!" Ben said. He tried to grab the car from Lily's hands. + +"No, Ben! It's my turn!" Lily said. She held the car tight and did not let go. + +They started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not hear their mom coming in the room. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. She was not happy. She removed the car from their hands and put it on the shelf. "You two need to share and be nice. Fighting is not good." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make mom angry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's better. Now, how about some cookies? I baked them for you. They are delicious." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They loved cookies. They followed mom to the kitchen and forgot about the car. They ate the cookies and thanked mom. They were happy again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. They run, jump, and kick a ball. This is exercise. Exercise is good for them. + +One day, they see a big dog. The dog is barking and running. Lily and Tom are scared. They run away from the dog. They hide behind a tree. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I'm okay, but I'm worried. What if the dog finds us?" Tom says. + +Lily thinks. She realizes something. She says, "Maybe the dog is not mean. Maybe the dog is lonely. Maybe the dog wants to play with us." + +Lily and Tom peek from behind the tree. They see the dog. The dog is not barking. The dog is wagging its tail. The dog looks happy. + +Lily and Tom come out from behind the tree. They say, "Hi, dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barks. The dog runs to them. The dog licks their faces. Lily and Tom laugh. They pet the dog. They play with the dog. They are not scared. They are not worried. They are happy. The dog is happy. They are friends. +Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red chair that their dad gave them. They liked to sit on the chair and pretend they were driving a car, or flying a plane, or sailing a boat. They always shared the chair and took turns. + +One day, their mom told them that they had to go to the store with her. She said they could bring one toy each. Tom and Jen both wanted to bring the chair, but it was too big to fit in the car. They argued and fought over who would get the chair. + +"I want the chair!" Tom said. "It's my turn!" + +"No, it's mine!" Jen said. "You had it yesterday!" + +They pulled and pushed the chair, trying to take it from each other. They did not value the chair or each other. They did not see that the chair had a loose leg that was about to break. + +Suddenly, the chair snapped and fell apart. The leg hit Tom on the head and made him bleed. Jen screamed and dropped the chair. Their mom ran to them and saw what happened. She was very angry and sad. + +"Look what you did!" she said. "You broke the chair and hurt your brother! The chair is dead and so is Tom! You are very bad children!" + +She took Jen by the hand and left Tom on the floor. She did not call for help or try to save him. She did not value Tom or the chair. She only valued herself. She drove away with Jen and never came back. Tom and the chair were alone and dead. The end. +Tim and Lily were very happy. They were going to the pool with Mom and Dad. They loved to swim and splash in the water. They put on their swimsuits and packed their towels and toys. + +They got in the car and drove to the pool. It was not far, but there was a lot of traffic. They had to wait and wait. Tim and Lily started to feel bored and upset. They wanted to swim, not sit in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Tim asked. + +"Soon, honey, soon," Mom said. + +"Can we play a game?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, what game do you want to play?" Dad asked. + +"I spy with my little eye, something that is blue," Lily said. + +"Is it the sky?" Tim guessed. + +"No," Lily said. + +"Is it the car in front of us?" Mom guessed. + +"No," Lily said. + +"Is it your swimsuit?" Dad guessed. + +"Yes, you got it!" Lily said. + +They played I spy for a while, until they finally arrived at the pool. They got out of the car and ran to the gate. They showed their tickets and entered the pool area. They saw the big pool, the small pool, the slide, the fountain, and the lifeguard.

They had a great day. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with their toys. One day, they play with a big truck and a small doll. Max drives the truck and Lily holds the doll. + +But then, the truck goes too fast and hits a rock. The doll falls out of the truck and rolls down a hill. Lily is sad. She wants her doll back. She runs after the doll, but the hill is steep and slippery. She falls and hurts her knee. She cries. + +Max hears Lily cry. He stops the truck and looks for her. He sees her on the hill, with blood on her knee. He also sees the doll at the bottom of the hill, near a pond. He is brave. He runs down the hill and picks up the doll.

You are a good friend." Max smiles. He says, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you're happy. Do you want to play some more?" Lily nods. She says, "Yes, let's play some more. But be careful with the truck." They laugh and play with the truck and the doll. They are glad. They are friends. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and draw pictures. One day, Lily got a new doll from her grandma. It was very pretty and had a pink dress and a rose in its hair. + +Anna was jealous of Lily's new doll. She wanted to have a rose too. She asked Lily if she could play with her doll, but Lily said no. She said it was her doll and she did not want to share. She ignored Anna and hugged her doll. + +Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to be friends with Lily anymore. She went to the garden and looked for a rose. She found one that was red and shiny. She picked it and put it in her hair. She thought she looked better than Lily's doll. + +She went back to Lily and showed her the rose. She said, "Look, I have a rose too. It is more beautiful than your doll's rose. Your doll is ugly and boring. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Lily was shocked and hurt. She did not like what Anna said. She loved her doll and her rose. She did not want to lose her friend. She said, "Anna, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I should have shared my doll with you. You are my best friend. Your rose is very nice, but I like you more than any rose. Can we play together again?" + +Anna felt sorry too. She realized she was rude to Lily. She did not want to hurt her friend. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry too. I was jealous of your doll. You are my best friend too. I don't care about the rose. Can we hug and make up?" + +Lily and Anna hugged and smiled. They decided to share their dolls and their roses. They played happily and forgot their fight. They learned to be kind and not ignore each other. They were best friends again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves in their yard. They wanted to jump in it and have fun. But their mom said, "No, you have to help me rake the leaves and put them in bags. Then we can go to the park." + +Tom and Lily did not listen to their mom. They ran to the pile of leaves and started to jump and throw them in the air. They laughed and shouted and made a big mess. Their mom was very angry. She said, "Stop that right now! You are being naughty and lazy. You have to help me with the chores. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They walked to their room with their heads down. They did not say anything to each other. They sat on their beds and looked at the wall. + +After a while, their mom came to their room. She said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you wanted to have fun. But you also have to be responsible and respectful. You have to help me with the chores and follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We understand. We won't do it again. Can we help you with the leaves now?" + +Their mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's hug and make up. I love you both very much." + +Tom and Lily hugged their mom. They felt happy and loved. They learned their lesson.

He ran back to the living room where his mom was. He shouted, "Mom, look what I made for you!" + +But as he ran, he tripped on a toy car and fell down. His picture flew out of his hands and landed on the floor. He was frightened. He looked at his picture and saw that it was torn and dirty. He felt sad and angry. He cried, "No, no, no! My picture is ruined!" + +His mom heard his cry and ran to him. She saw him on the floor and his picture on the floor. She hugged him and said, "Oh, Tom, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their pretty colors. She had a rose bush in her garden that she watered every day. She was very happy when she saw new buds growing on the bush. + +One day, she saw a big red rose that was ready to bloom. She ran to get her scissors to cut it and put it in a vase.

Lily shouted. "Give it back to me!" + +The boy laughed and said, "No, it's mine now. I saw it first. It's so pretty and shiny. I'm going to keep it." + +Lily felt very angry. She tried to grab the rose from the boy, but he was stronger and taller. He pushed her away and ran to his house. Lily fell on the ground and started to cry. + +She heard her mommy calling her name. She ran to her and hugged her. She told her what happened. Her mommy said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was very mean of him. He shouldn't have taken your rose. But don't worry, we can grow more roses. And maybe he will learn to be nice and share." + +Lily nodded. She felt a little better. She looked at her rose bush and saw another bud that was about to turn into a rose. She smiled and said, "Maybe I can give this one to you, mommy. You like roses too, right?" + +Her mommy smiled and said, "Yes, I do. And I love you, Lily. You are very sweet and kind.

Ben has six cards. Sara has more cards than Ben. Sara wins the game. Ben says, "Good job, Sara. You are good at this game." Sara says, "Thank you, Ben. You are good too. Do you want to play again?" Ben says, "Yes, please. I like this game. Maybe I can win next time." Sara says, "OK, let's play again. But first, let's put the cards back in the box."

They pull it and push it and fill it with toys. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go down the hill with their wagon. + +But Mom says no. She warns them that the hill is too steep and the road is too busy. She says they might get hurt or hit by a car. She tells them to play in the yard instead. + +Tom and Sue do not listen to Mom. They think she is wrong and they are brave. They sneak out with their wagon and go to the hill. They climb to the top and get in the wagon. They are excited and happy. + +They let go of the wagon and it starts to roll down the hill. It goes faster and faster. They scream and laugh. They do not see the car coming from the other side. The car does not see them either. The car has thick windows and loud music. + +The wagon and the car crash. There is a loud noise and a lot of smoke. Tom and Sue are hurt. They cry and bleed. The car driver is scared and angry. He calls for help. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to the hill. She sees the wagon and the car and Tom and Sue. She is sad and mad. She hugs them and cries. She wishes they had listened to her. She warns them that they will be in big trouble. She says they are lucky to be alive. +Anna liked to make cards for her friends. She used paper, glue, scissors and stickers. She was very careful when she cut the paper. She did not want to hurt herself or make a mess. She liked to use delicate stickers, like flowers and stars, to decorate her cards. + +One day, she wanted to send a card to her grandma, who lived far away. She asked her mom to help her write a message on the card. She said, "I love you, grandma. You are the best. From Anna." Her mom smiled and wrote the words for her. Then, she put the card in an envelope and wrote the address. + +Anna and her mom went to the post office to mail the card. Anna was very excited. She hoped her grandma would like her card. She gave the envelope to the lady at the counter. The lady looked at the envelope and said, "Oh, this is a very nice card. But you need to put a stamp on it, or it will not go to your grandma." + +Anna did not know what a stamp was. She asked her mom. Her mom explained that a stamp was a small sticker that you put on the envelope to pay for the post. She showed her a stamp and said, "This stamp has a picture of a bird on it. Do you like it?" Anna nodded. She liked birds. She wanted to put the stamp on the envelope herself. + +Her mom gave her the stamp and said, "Be careful, Anna. The stamp is very delicate. You need to peel it off gently and stick it on the corner of the envelope. Do not cut it or tear it, or it will not work." Anna listened to her mom. She peeled off the stamp slowly and carefully. She did not cut it or tear it. She stuck it on the corner of the envelope. She was very proud of herself. She said, "Look, mom. I did it. Now the card can go to grandma." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Well done, Anna. You are very smart and thoughtful. I'm sure your grandma will love your card. You have learned a very important lesson today. You have learned that some things are very delicate and need to be handled with care. Just like your grandma, and just like you." Anna smiled and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best. Just like grandma." +Lily liked to play with her hoop. She could roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She had a lot of fun with her hoop. + +One day, it rained a lot. Lily could not go outside and play with her hoop. She was sad and bored. She looked out the window and saw the rain. She wished it would stop. + +The next day, the sun came out. Lily was happy. She ran outside with her hoop. She wanted to roll it on the grass. But the grass was wet and muddy. Her hoop got stuck in the mud. She tried to pull it out, but it was too hard. She got dirty and frustrated. + +She left her hoop in the mud and went back inside. She washed her hands and face. She hoped her hoop would be okay. + +Later, she went outside again. She saw her hoop on the grass. It was dry and clean. The sun had dried the mud and the wind had blown it away. Lily was surprised and glad. She picked up her hoop and hugged it. She could play with it again. She smiled and thanked the sun and the wind. She had a lot of fun with her hoop. +Anna liked to play with her toy phone. She would pretend to call her friends and family and have long chats. Sometimes, she would repeat what they said, like "Hello, how are you?" or "I love you, bye bye". She thought it was fun to hear her voice on the phone. + +One day, she found a big magnet on the fridge. It was shaped like a star and had a button on it. She wondered what it was for. She took it off the fridge and put it on her toy phone. She pressed the button and heard a voice say "Hello, this is your star friend. What is your name?" + +Anna was amazed. She had a new friend on the phone. She said "Hello, my name is Anna. Do you want to play with me?" She pressed the button again and heard the voice repeat "Hello, my name is Anna. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna giggled. She liked how the star friend repeated what she said. She asked more questions, like "What is your favorite color?" or "What do you like to eat?" and pressed the button to hear the answers. She had a lot of fun with her star friend. + +She decided to show her mom her amazing discovery. She ran to the kitchen with her toy phone and the magnet. She said "Mom, look what I found. It is a star friend. It repeats what I say. Watch!" She pressed the button and said "I love you, mom". She waited for the star friend to say it back. + +But nothing happened. The star friend was silent. Anna was confused. She pressed the button again and again, but there was no voice. She looked at the magnet and saw that the button had fallen off. It was broken. She felt sad. She had lost her star friend. + +Mom saw that Anna was upset. She hugged her and said "I'm sorry, sweetie. It was a nice star friend, but it was not real. It was just a toy that made sounds. But you know who is real and loves you very much? Me. And dad. And grandma. And grandpa. And your friends. And your teddy bear. And your dog. And you can talk to them anytime you want. And they will not repeat what you say. They will listen and answer and play with you. Do you want to call them now?" + +Anna nodded. She felt better. She still liked her toy phone, but she knew it was not the same as talking to real people. She thanked mom for the hug and said "I love you, mom". Mom said "I love you too, Anna". And they did not need a button to hear it. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many apples. They wanted to pick some apples and taste them. + +"Let's climb the tree and get some apples," Ben said. He was a mighty boy who liked to climb. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. She was a smart girl who liked to tie things. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. They were red and shiny and smelled good. They each took one and bit into it. They tasted sweet and juicy. + +"Mmm, these apples are yummy," Lily said. + +"Yes, they are," Ben said. "But look, there are more apples up there. I want to get them too." + +He climbed higher and higher, until he was very close to the top. He saw a big apple that looked the best of all. He stretched his hand to grab it. + +But then he slipped and lost his balance. He screamed and fell down. He was scared and hurt. + +Lily heard him and looked up. She saw him falling and felt sorry. She quickly tied her scarf to a branch and threw the other end to Ben. + +"Ben, catch this!" she shouted. "I will help you!" + +Ben caught the scarf and held on tight. Lily pulled him up with all her strength. She was a mighty girl too. + +They both came down safely and hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. "You saved me. You are a good friend." + +"You're welcome, Ben," Lily said. "You are a good friend too. But next time, don't climb so high. It's dangerous." + +They smiled and nodded. They learned a lesson. They decided to share their apples with their friends and enjoy the taste. They had a good day. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with stars. They have a big box of stars. The stars are shiny and pretty. They make shapes with the stars on the floor. + +One day, Tim and Jen find a new star in the box. The star is big and red. It is very hot. Tim and Jen think it is a funny star. They want to play with it. + +"Look, Jen, this star is so big and hot. Let's make a sun with it," Tim says. + +"OK, Tim, but be careful. It might burn you," Jen says. + +Tim and Jen put the big red star in the middle of the floor. They put some yellow stars around it. They make a sun. They are happy. + +But the big red star is not a funny star. It is a bad star. It is a star that can explode. It is a star that can end the universe. + +The big red star starts to make a loud noise. It starts to grow bigger and bigger. It starts to glow brighter and brighter. + +Tim and Jen are scared. They do not know what to do. They worry. They run to the door. But the door is locked. They cannot get out. + +The big red star explodes. It makes a big fire. It burns everything. It burns Tim and Jen. It burns the box of stars. It burns the floor. It burns the house. It burns the world. It burns the universe. + +The end. +Lily liked to look at the butterflies in the garden. They had pretty colors and wings. She wanted to catch one and keep it as a pet. She asked her mom if she could. + +"No, Lily, you can't catch a butterfly," her mom said. "They need to fly and find flowers. If you catch them, they will be sad and die." + +Lily did not understand. She wanted to make the butterfly happy. She thought she could feed it and play with it. She did not listen to her mom. She waited for her mom to go inside the house. Then she ran to the garden with a net. + +She saw a big yellow butterfly on a pink flower. She was very happy. She swung the net and caught the butterfly. She put it in a jar and closed the lid. She made some holes on the lid with a pencil. She thought the butterfly could breathe. + +She took the jar to her room. She put some grass and water in the jar. She thought the butterfly would like that. She looked at the butterfly. It was not moving. It was not flying. It was not happy. It was hungry. It needed nectar from flowers, not grass and water. Lily did not know that. She did not explain to the butterfly why she caught it. She did not say sorry. She did not let it go. + +The next day, Lily woke up and looked at the jar. The butterfly was still not moving. It was not breathing. It was dead. Lily was very sad. She cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had not caught the butterfly. She wished she had let it fly and find flowers. She learned a hard lesson. She hurt the butterfly and herself. She did a bad thing. +Tom and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they like their cars best. They have red cars, blue cars, yellow cars, and green cars. They like to race their cars on the floor and see who is faster. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a new toy in their room. It is a big car that can shine. It has lights on it that can flash and make noises. Tom and Lily both want to play with the shiny car. They both grab it and pull it. + +"Mine!" Tom says. + +"No, mine!" Lily says. + +They tug and tug, but the shiny car does not move. They get angry and yell at each other. They do not want to share the shiny car. They are competitive. + +But then, something bad happens. The shiny car breaks. It snaps in half and makes a loud sound. Tom and Lily stop pulling and look at the broken car. They see something sharp and shiny sticking out of the car. It is a needle. The needle was inside the car to make the lights work. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They do not like needles. Needles can hurt. They drop the broken car and run away. They cry and hug each other. They are sorry for breaking the shiny car. They are sorry for fighting. They do not want to play with the shiny car anymore. They want to play with their old cars. They are safe and fun. They share their cars and race them on the floor. They are happy and friendly. They are not competitive. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big purple helicopter in the sky. It was loud and fast. + +"Wow, look at that!" Max said. "I want to be a helicopter when I grow up." + +Lily laughed. "You can't be a helicopter, silly. You are a boy. Helicopters are machines." + +Max frowned. "But I like helicopters. They can fly and spin and go anywhere. They are cool." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked helicopters too, but she had a different idea. "Maybe you can't be a helicopter, but you can pretend to be one. We can play helicopter." + +Max smiled. "How do we play helicopter?" + +Lily showed him. She spread her arms and made a whooshing sound. She ran around the park, pretending to fly. Max joined her. He also spread his arms and made a whooshing sound. They ran and flew and spun and had fun. + +They played helicopter until they were tired. They sat on the grass and watched the purple helicopter fly away. They waved goodbye. + +"Maybe we can't become helicopters, but we can have helicopter dreams," Lily said. + +Max nodded. "Yeah, helicopter dreams are awesome." +Once upon a Wednesday, there was a very brave kid named Jack. He was going on an adventure in the woods. He was very careful and followed the path so he wouldn't get lost. +Jack kept following the path until something unusual happened. He spotted a dirty old house at the end of the path. He was scared but determined so he walked closer and closer to the house. +"What is this place?" he asked. He heard a mysterious voice in his head telling him to knock on the door. He listened and knocked three times. +"Come in Jack," the voice said. Jack was scared but he followed the voice's directions and slowly opened the door. + +As Jack opened up the door, he was amazed by what he found. Inside the dirty old house were piles of candy and toys. Jack was so excited that he ran and grabbed as much candy and toys as he could. + +At the end of his adventure, Jack had lots of treats and goodies to take back with him. He realized that when unlucky things happen, it can lead to something even better. From then on, every Wednesday Jack went to the dirty old house for more treats. +Once upon a time, two friends were jumping on their trampoline. It was so much fun!

We'll have something special waiting for us there," said Oscar enthusiastically. + +Alice was scared. She didn't want to go too deep. But Oscar convinced her, so she followed him. It was dark and damp inside the cave, and it felt wild. + +Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound. The walls started to shake and big pieces of rubble began falling from the ceiling. Oscar and Alice could no longer find their way out! + +The moral of this story is to not be reckless and always think about the consequences of our actions. Oscar didn't take into account the dangers of adding something special to the adventure. This led to a bad ending - they got stuck in the cave forever! +Once upon a time there was a girl who was very popular. She was beloved by everyone and seemed to have the perfect life. One day she met a boy who didn't agree with her. + +The girl said, "Why don't you like me?" + +The boy replied, "I don't really like the things you say." + +The girl was surprised, she couldn't believe someone could disagree with her. But the boy didn't stop there - he went on to explain why he thought the way he did. + +The boy said, "I think life should be lived without people judging each other too much." + +The girl was taken aback and thought about what he said.

I was just washing my feathers, but now I'm done. Have fun!" + +The duck thanked the crane and began to swim. She splashed and played, having a wonderful time. When she was done, she said goodbye to the crane and waddled home, feeling happy and content. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a fox who lived alone in a forest. It was winter, so it was very cold and the snow was deep. + +One day, while the fox was wandering around, he was getting very hungry. He saw a careless rabbit hopping through the snow.

I love carrots!†+ +The fox said, “I love carrots too! Can I come with you?†+ +The rabbit said, "Of course! I always like to share!" + +So, the fox and the rabbit started walking together. The fox was so happy with his new friend. The two of them were so careful, no one ever noticed them taking the carrots from the farmer’s garden! + +The fox and the rabbit became the best of friends, even through the cold winter.

"Let's go and get some healthy food." +They went to get some fruits and vegetables.

Johnny looked up and saw a big man standing there. Johnny looked scared, but he knew he had to stand up for himself. He replied, "I was really hungry and I just wanted to eat the apple. Can I please keep it?" + +The big man thought for a moment and then said, "I will let you keep the apple, but only if you promise to whistle every time you find something else you want to eat. Then, I will know it belongs to someone else and you will have to leave it alone." + +Johnny was relieved and said, "Ok, I promise. Thank you!" He took a big bite of the apple, thanked the man again and continued on his way. From now on, whenever he had the urge to take something, he would always remember to whistle first. The man smiled, happy that Johnny had learned a valuable lesson. +One day, Amy and her friends were playing in the park. She saw something shining and went to take a closer look.

All he wanted to do was sleep in the sun and enjoy the good weather. + +One day, his friend, a little girl named Ava, found him. She thought it was a lot of fun to play with Harold. Ava asked, "Would you like to go to the city and buy something?" + +Harold was intrigued. He loves shopping and jumping around. He loved the idea of going to buy something. He nodded, and off they went. + +When they arrived at the store, Harold was confused. Ava asked him, "Harold, what should we buy?"

One day, he was hopping peacefully across the meadow, when he heard a loud scream. +Startled, the little brown rabbit stopped and looked around. He saw a young girl, who was crying. +"What's wrong?" asked the brown rabbit, hopping closer to the girl. +The girl wiped away her tears and said, "A mean fox was chasing me! I was so scared!" +The rabbit was very upset. He hopped closer and let out a loud scream. +At the sound of his brave shout, the fox ran away. +The little girl smiled and thanked the rabbit for helping her. +The rabbit nodded and hopped away.

One day, Bella wanted to go explore the forest behind her house. She packed up her bag with treats and drinks and headed to the forest. + +When Bella stepped into the forest, she heard a loud noise. "Who's there?" Bella called out. But no one answered. Bella was scared. She started to back away when she heard something else. It was a cell phone ringing and it was very loud. + +The loud noise made Bella scared, but she kept walking. Then a voice called out from behind her. "What are you doing here? This isn't a safe place!" It was Bella's mom. + +Bella explained to her mom that she was exploring the forest.

They saw a big puddle with the big and sparkly sand around it. + +Tom: "Let's go and play in the puddle Sue". + +Sue: "It looks cold, Tom. I don't want to get cold and wet!" + +Tom: "It will be fun! Let's go! I will go first!" + +Tom stepped into the puddle and Sue watched as the cold water came up and soaked him - up to his elbows! Sue then saw Tom scoop up the sand from the puddle and pour it out of his hand. + +Sue: "Tom, it looks like you are having fun! I think I will try it too!" + +Tom: "Yes! Go ahead Sue! Put your hands in the puddle and scoop up some sand!" + +So Sue put her hands in the cold puddle and scooped up some of the sparkling sand.

She loved to try and throw it so it landed on a stick. + +Mandy's mom said, "You are so good at throwing the hoop, Mandy!" + +Mandy smiled and tried again.
