That's for safety." + +She took the toys and put new batteries in them. She also unlocked the car's door and showed them how to use it.

Do you want some juice?" It was Mrs. Lee, the nice lady who lived near the park. She had a basket with cups and a jug. + +Lily and Ben ran to Mrs. Lee. They liked her juice. It was sweet and cold. "Yes, please, Mrs. Lee. Thank you for offering us juice!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, dear. You must be thirsty after playing so much. Here you go." Mrs. Lee poured some juice for Lily and Ben. She gave them each a cup. + +Lily and Ben drank their juice. They felt happy and refreshed. They thanked Mrs. Lee again. Then they went back to the tree. They played with their shadows until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye to Mrs. Lee and the tree. They had a fun and quiet day in the park. +Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to play ball in the yard. They have a big red ball and a small blue ball. Tim likes the big red ball. Tom likes the small blue ball. + +One day, they see a new ball in the yard. It is yellow and shiny. It looks very fun. They both want the new ball. + +"Give me the new ball!" Tim says. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. + +They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. The new ball flies out of their hands. It rolls down the hill. It goes into the street. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Tom say. + +They run after the new ball. They do not look for cars. They do not listen to Mom. They are crazy. + +A car comes fast. It honks loud. It almost hits the new ball. Tim and Tom stop. They are scared. They hope the new ball is okay. + +The car stops. The driver gets out. He is angry. He picks up the new ball. He looks at Tim and Tom. + +"What are you doing?" he says. "You could have been hurt. You should not play in the street. You should be careful." + +He gives them the new ball. He tells them to go home. He drives away. + +Tim and Tom are sorry. They hug each other. They say sorry to Mom. They say thank you to the driver. They learn a lesson. They share the new ball. They play safe. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lock on the gate. They want to go inside, but they cannot. + +"Who put the lock there?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe the park is closed," Ben says. + +They are sad. They look around. They see a big tree near the fence. The tree has a branch that goes over the fence. + +"Look, Sara! We can hop on the branch and go inside the park!" Ben says. + +He runs to the tree and climbs up. He hops on the branch and swings over the fence. He lands on the grass. + +"Come on, Sara! It is fun!" he shouts. + +Sara is scared. She does not like to hop high. She stays on the ground. + +"Ben, I don't want to hop. It is too high. I might fall," she says. + +Ben sees that Sara is scared. He feels sorry. He hops back on the branch and climbs down the tree. + +"It is okay, Sara. We don't have to hop. We can play here," he says. + +He gives Sara a hug. He sees a candy shop across the street. He has some money in his pocket. + +"Hey, Sara! Do you want some candy? They have sweet candy there. We can share," he says. + +Sara smiles. She likes candy. She likes Ben. + +"Yes, Ben! I want some candy. You are a good friend," she says. + +They hold hands and cross the street. They buy some candy and eat it. They are happy. They forget about the lock. +Lily was a jolly child who liked to make things with paper and glue. She had many colors of paper and a big bottle of glue. She liked to cut the paper into shapes and attach them together to make animals, flowers, and houses. + +One day, she wanted to make a big paper boat. She cut a big piece of blue paper into a boat shape and glued it to a cardboard base. Then she cut a smaller piece of white paper into a sail and attached it to a stick. She also cut some red paper into flags and attached them to the sail. She was very proud of her paper boat. + +She showed her paper boat to her mom and dad. They said it was very pretty and clever. They asked her if she wanted to play with it in the bathtub. Lily said yes and ran to the bathroom with her paper boat. She filled the bathtub with water and put her paper boat in it. She pretended to sail it across the ocean and have adventures. + +But soon, she saw that her paper boat was not doing well. The water made the paper wet and soft. The glue did not hold the paper together. The boat started to fall apart. The sail and the flags came off. The boat shape became a mess. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry and came to the bathroom. They saw her paper boat in the water and understood what happened. They hugged her and comforted her. They said, "We're sorry, Lily. Your paper boat was very nice, but paper and water don't go well together. Paper gets wet and glue doesn't work. Next time, you can use something else to make a boat, like plastic or wood. They don't get wet and they float better." + +Lily stopped crying and nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, too. I didn't know paper and water don't go well together. Next time, I'll use something else to make a boat. Thank you, mom and dad. I love you." + +They said, "We love you, too, Lily. You're a jolly child who likes to make things. And you can still make things with paper and glue, but not for the water. You can make things for the wall, or the table, or the shelf. They will last longer and look nicer." + +Lily smiled and agreed. She dried her hands and hugged her mom and dad. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some things are good for some places, and some things are not. She learned to choose the right materials for the right projects. And she learned to be happy with what she had and what she could do. +Tom likes to write stories. He has a book and a pen. He writes about a big dragon and a brave knight. He draws pictures too. He is happy. + +But Sam does not like Tom's stories. Sam is Tom's brother. He is angry. He thinks Tom is silly. He wants to play with Tom's book and pen. He takes them from Tom. + +"Give them back!" Tom says. "They are mine!" + +"No, they are mine!" Sam says. "Your stories are bad!" + +Tom and Sam fight. They pull and push. The book and the pen fall on the floor. They break. Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at the book and the pen. They are sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam says. "I was mean." + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says. "I was mad." + +They hug. They say they are sorry. They find a new book and a new pen. They write a new story together. They write about a big dragon and a brave knight who are friends. They draw pictures too. They are happy. +Ben likes to work in the garden with his dad. He helps to dig, water and plant. He likes to see the flowers and the fruits grow. He is very proud of his work. + +One day, Ben sees a big tree in the shop. It has shiny things and lights on it. He thinks it is very pretty. He asks his dad if they can buy the tree. His dad says no, the tree is too expensive. They only have money for cheap things. + +Ben is sad. He wants the tree for his garden. He thinks of a plan. He goes to his room and gets his piggy bank. He breaks it and takes out all the coins. He counts them. He has enough money for the tree. He puts the coins in his pocket and runs to the shop. + +He finds the tree and gives the coins to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiles and gives him the tree. Ben is very happy. He carries the tree to his garden. He puts it in a hole and covers it with dirt. He waters it and puts some flowers around it. + +He runs to his dad and shows him the tree. His dad is surprised and angry. He asks Ben where he got the money. Ben tells him about his piggy bank. His dad says that was not a good idea. He says the tree is not a real tree. It is a fake tree. It will not grow or make fruits. It will only make trash. He says Ben wasted his money and his piggy bank. + +Ben is very sad. He cries and says he is sorry. He says he wanted to work and make the garden pretty. He says he did not know the tree was fake. He says he loves his dad. + +His dad hugs him and says he loves him too. He says he is sorry for being angry. He says he is proud of Ben for working hard and saving money. He says he will help him fix his piggy bank and buy a real tree. He says they will work together and make the garden pretty. + +They go inside and have some cookies and milk. They talk and laugh. Ben feels better. He learns a lesson. He says he will not buy cheap things that are not good. He says he will ask his dad before he buys anything. He says he loves working in the garden with his dad. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the snow. One day, they saw a big ladder near their house. It was leaning on a tall tree. + +"Let's climb the ladder and see the birds!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. The ladder is icy and slippery," Sam said. + +They put on their boots and coats and ran to the ladder. Tom went first. He climbed up slowly and carefully. He reached the top and looked around. He saw some birds flying in the sky. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Sam, come up and see the birds!" Tom shouted. + +Sam followed his brother. He climbed up the ladder too. But he was not as careful as Tom. He slipped on the icy rung and lost his balance. He screamed and fell down. + +"Sam!" Tom cried. He looked down and saw Sam lying on the ground. He was not moving. + +Tom was scared. He wanted to help his brother, but he did not know how to get down. The ladder was too icy and high. He did not want to fall too. + +"Help! Help!" Tom yelled. + +Their mom heard them. She ran outside and saw what happened. She called 911 and ran to Sam. She checked his pulse and his breathing. He was alive, but he was hurt. + +"Tom, stay on the ladder. Don't move. Help is coming," she said. + +Tom nodded. He stayed on the ladder. He was cold and scared. He wished he had not climbed the ladder. He hoped Sam would be OK. + +Soon, a fire truck and an ambulance came. The firefighters brought a big net and a rope. They caught Tom in the net and lowered him to the ground. They checked him for injuries. He was OK, but he had some bruises. + +The paramedics put Sam on a stretcher and took him to the hospital. They said he had a broken arm and a concussion. He needed some stitches and a cast. + +Tom and his mom followed them in their car. They were worried about Sam. They hugged each other and prayed for him. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that ladders are not toys. They learned that icy things are dangerous. They learned that they should always be careful and listen to each other. They learned that they loved each other very much. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat some grapes. They asked their mom if they could have some. + +"Sure, you can have some grapes," mom said. "But first, you have to prepare them. You have to wash them and take them off the stem." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They went to the sink and turned on the water. They put the grapes in a colander and rinsed them. They used their fingers to pluck the grapes from the stem. They put the grapes in a bowl. + +They were about to eat the grapes when they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a fierce lion in the kitchen. The lion had escaped from the zoo and was looking for food. It saw the grapes and licked its lips. + +"Roar! I want those grapes!" the lion said. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to their mom and hid behind her. Mom grabbed a broom and waved it at the lion. + +"Go away, lion! These are our grapes! You can't have them!" mom said. + +The lion was angry. It growled and showed its teeth. It tried to swipe the broom with its paw. But mom was brave. She hit the lion on the nose with the broom. The lion yelped and ran away. + +Ben and Lily cheered. They hugged their mom and thanked her. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties. You're very brave, too. Now, let's enjoy our grapes. They're delicious and healthy," mom said. + +They sat down at the table and ate the grapes. They were juicy and sweet. They were happy and safe. They loved their mom and their grapes. +Lily liked to write with her crayons. She had many colors and papers. She wrote her name, her family, and her pets. She wrote happy things and sad things. She wrote every day. + +One day, she wanted to write in the yard. She took her crayons and papers and went outside. She saw a big tree and a swing. She saw flowers and birds. She saw a fence and a gate. She thought the yard was a good place to write. + +She put her papers on the grass and picked a crayon. She was going to write a story about a princess and a dragon. She liked stories like that. She started to write. + +But then, she heard a loud bark. She looked up and saw a big dog. The dog was on the other side of the fence. The dog had black fur and sharp teeth. The dog looked angry and mean. The dog wanted to get to Lily. + +Lily was frightened. She dropped her crayon and ran to the house. She screamed for her mom. "Mom, mom, there is a big dog in the yard! He is scary and loud! He wants to bite me!" + +Her mom heard her and came to the door. She saw the dog and the fence. She saw Lily's papers and crayon. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The dog can't get to you. He is behind the fence. He is just barking because he is lonely and bored. He doesn't want to hurt you. He wants to play." + +Lily calmed down and looked at the dog. She saw that he was wagging his tail and licking his nose. He didn't look so angry and mean. He looked sad and friendly. She felt sorry for the dog. + +She said to her mom, "Can we give him a treat? Maybe he will stop barking and be happy." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Lily. Let's go to the kitchen and find something for him. Then we can go back to the yard and you can finish your story. Maybe you can write about the dog and the princess and the dragon. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded and said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you. I like to write in the yard. And I like the dog. He is not so scary after all. He is just lonely. Maybe we can be his friends." +Lily liked to eat. She ate a lot of food every day. She ate bread, cheese, fruit, cookies, and cake. She did not like to run or play. She liked to sit and watch TV. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, you need to try on your new pants. We are going to a party tomorrow." Lily did not want to try on her new pants. She liked her old pants. They were soft and loose. But her mom made her try on her new pants. + +Lily put on her new pants. They were tight and stiff. They made her feel uncomfortable. She could not move or breathe well. She said, "Mom, I don't like these pants. They hurt me. Can I wear my old pants?" + +Her mom looked at her and said, "Lily, these pants are your size. They fit you well. Your old pants are too small for you. You have grown a lot. You need to eat less and move more. Or else, you will increase and increase and increase, and no pants will fit you." + +Lily did not like what her mom said. She felt sad and angry. She said, "No, mom, I like to eat. I don't want to move. I want to wear my old pants. They are comfortable." + +Her mom shook her head and said, "Lily, you have to listen to me. You have to take care of your body. You have to be healthy and happy. Trust me, you will feel better if you eat less and move more. And you will find new pants that are comfortable and pretty." + +Lily did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was wrong. She thought her mom did not love her. She thought her mom wanted to change her. She did not want to change. She wanted to eat and sit and watch TV. + +The next day, Lily and her mom went to the party. Lily wore her new pants. She felt uncomfortable. She did not want to talk or play with anyone. She wanted to eat and sit and watch TV. But there was no TV at the party. There was only food and games and music and people. + +Lily saw a big table with a lot of food. She saw bread, cheese, fruit, cookies, and cake. She felt hungry. She wanted to eat. She walked to the table and took a big plate. She filled it with food. She ate and ate and ate. + +She did not notice that her pants were getting tighter and tighter. She did not notice that her belly was getting bigger and bigger. She did not notice that her mom was watching her with worry and sadness. + +She only noticed when she heard a loud sound. It was her pants. They ripped. They ripped because they could not hold her anymore. They ripped because she increased and increased and increased. + +Lily felt a shock. She felt a pain. She felt a shame. She looked at her pants. She looked at her belly. She looked at her mom. She looked at the people. They all looked at her. They all saw her. They all heard her. + +Lily wanted to cry. She wanted to hide. She wanted to go home. She wanted to wear her old pants. She wanted to be comfortable. But she could not. She had to face the consequences of her choices. She had to learn a lesson. She had to change. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys of different colors and shapes, but they did not like to share them. Sometimes they would fight over who got to play with what, and sometimes they would poke each other with their fingers or their toys. + +One day, their mom came into their room and saw their toys all over the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Mia and Leo, you need to be more organized. You need to put your toys away when you are done playing. And you need to stop poking each other. That is not nice." + +Mia and Leo looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom sad. They said, "Sorry, mom. We will be more organized. We will put our toys away. And we will not poke each other anymore." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That is good. I am proud of you. You know, being organized and nice to each other is a sign of wisdom. Wisdom is when you know what is right and what is wrong, and you do what is right. Do you want to be wise?" + +Mia and Leo nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We want to be wise." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I love you, Mia and Leo. You are my wise and wonderful twins." Then she helped them put their toys away in their boxes and shelves.

They learned a lesson of wisdom that day. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sam wants to go on the slide. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Mia is scared of the slide. She stays on the ground and watches Sam. + +"Come on, Mia!" Sam urges. "The slide is fun! You can do it!" + +Mia shakes her head. She does not want to go on the slide. She thinks the slide is too high and too fast. She feels sad and lonely. + +Sam slides down the slide. He laughs and shouts. He likes the slide. He climbs up the ladder again. He sees Mia on the ground. He sees that she is sad and lonely. He wants to help her. + +"Hey, Mia!" Sam says. "Do you like songs?" + +Mia nods. She likes songs. She likes to sing and dance. + +"Let's sing a song together!" Sam says. "A slow song. A song that makes you happy." + +Sam starts to sing a slow song. A song that he and Mia know. A song that they learned at school. Mia listens to the song. She likes the song. She starts to sing with Sam. She feels happy. + +Sam and Mia sing the slow song together. They sing and smile. They forget about the slide. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. Sara has a big spoon and Ben has a wooden bowl. + +"Look, Ben, I made soup!" Sara says. She stirs the spoon in the bowl. "It has carrots and peas and noodles. Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. He holds out his bowl. Sara pours some soup from her spoon. "Thank you, Sara. This soup looks good." + +They sit on the floor and taste the soup. They make happy noises. The soup is mild and warm. It is not too hot or too spicy. + +"Can I have some water, please?" Ben asks. He is thirsty. + +"Sure, Ben. I will get you some water." Sara says. She stands up and walks to the sink. She sees a cup on the counter. She reaches for the cup, but it is too high. She cannot get it. + +"Sara, what are you doing?" Ben asks. He sees Sara jumping and stretching. + +"I want to get the cup, but it is too high." Sara says. She is frustrated. + +"Maybe I can help you." Ben says. He stands up and walks to the sink. He points to the cup. "See, Sara, the cup is there. But we are too small. We need a stool or a chair." + +"Good idea, Ben!" Sara says. She looks around and sees a stool near the table. She runs to the stool and brings it to the sink. She puts the stool on the floor and climbs on it. Now she can reach the cup. She fills the cup with water from the tap. + +"Here you go, Ben. Here is your water." Sara says. She gives the cup to Ben. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." Ben says. He drinks the water. + +They smile at each other. They are happy. They finish their soup and water. They clean up the bowl, the spoon and the cup. They put them back on the counter. + +"Let's play something else." Sara says. + +"OK, Sara. What do you want to play?" Ben asks. + +They think for a moment. Then they have an idea. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" They say together. + +They laugh and run to find a hiding spot. They have fun. They are good friends. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, they found a red bottle on a bench. It had a picture of a pepper on it. + +"What is this?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is juice," Sam said. + +They opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled strong and hot. + +"Let's try it," Sam said. He took a sip and made a face. "Ow! This is not juice. This is spicy!" + +He gave the bottle to Lila. She took a sip and felt a fire in her mouth. She spit it out and cried. "Ow! Ow! Ow! This is too spicy! It hurts!" + +They ran to the fountain and drank some water. They blinked their eyes and rubbed their tongues. They felt better after a while. + +"Who left this spicy bottle here?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone who likes spicy things," Sam said. + +"Or maybe someone who wanted to trick us," Lila said. + +They looked around and saw a man laughing on the bench. He had a camera in his hand. + +"Hey, you kids! Did you like my spicy prank? I filmed you for my show. You are very funny," he said. + +Lila and Sam felt angry and sad.

They want to go on the slide, but there is a line of kids waiting. + +"Let's joke with the kids in the line," Tom says. "Maybe they will let us go first." + +"OK, what joke can we tell them?" Sam asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. Then he says, "I know! We can tell them we have big muscles and we can lift the slide." + +Sam laughs. He thinks that is a funny joke. He says, "OK, let's do it." + +They walk to the line and say to the first kid, "Hi, we are Tom and Sam. We have big muscles and we can lift the slide. Can we go first?" + +The first kid looks at them and says, "No, you can't. You are too small and you have no muscles. You have to wait like everyone else." + +Tom and Sam are surprised.

We just wanted to make you laugh." + +The third kid says, "I know, I was joking too. I have no muscles and I can't lift the slide either. I just wanted to make you laugh too." + +Tom and Sam laugh with the third kid. They become friends and go on the slide together. They have fun and joke with each other. They learn that jokes are good, but not when they hurt other people's feelings. They learn to be kind and funny. +Lila and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and it had a shiny nose. It liked to jump in the water and make splashes. + +"Look, mom, the seal is jumping!" Lila said, clapping her hands. + +"Yes, it is, honey. Do you know what the seal eats?" mom asked. + +"Fish!" Sam said, pointing to a bucket near the pool. + +"That's right, Sam. The seal loves fish. They are tasty for him. Do you like fish, too?" mom asked. + +Lila nodded. "I like fish, but not raw. I like them cooked with lemon and salt." + +Sam shook his head. "I don't like fish. They are yucky. I like chicken and rice." + +Mom smiled. "Well, everyone has different tastes. But I'm sure the seal is happy with his fish. Let's watch him eat some, shall we?" + +They moved closer to the pool, where a zookeeper was throwing fish to the seal. The seal jumped up and caught them in his mouth. He made a funny sound, like he was saying thank you. + +Lila and Sam laughed. They liked the seal. He was funny and smart. They waved to him and said goodbye. They wanted to see more animals, but they would always remember the jumping seal. +Sara was a unique girl. She liked to wear hats with flowers and sing songs with funny words.

She wanted to make a hat with new flowers. She wanted to sing a song with new words. + +She put down her pencil and folded her arms. She closed her eyes and made a loud noise. She hoped the teacher would let her go. She did not care about the test. She only cared about being unique. +Tom and Lisa were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to pretend they were grown-ups who had a big party. They found some old clothes and hats and put them on. They also found some empty bottles and cups and filled them with water and juice. They called the water and juice "wine". + +They set up a table in the garden and put the bottles and cups on it. They also put some bread and cheese and fruit on the table. They said they were preparing for their guests. They invited their toys and dolls to join them. They gave them names and voices and made them talk. + +"Hello, Mr. Bear, welcome to our party. Would you like some wine?" Lisa said, holding a cup. + +"Thank you, Lisa. You are very kind. Your wine is very tasty," Mr. Bear said, sipping the cup. + +"Hello, Mrs. Cat, how are you today? Do you like the cheese?" Tom said, offering a slice. + +"I'm fine, thank you, Tom. The cheese is very good. You are a great cook," Mrs. Cat said, nibbling the slice. + +They had a lot of fun talking and eating and drinking with their toys and dolls. They pretended they were happy and rich and famous. They laughed and sang and danced. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was Lisa's dog, Rex. He had smelled the food and came running. He jumped on the table and knocked over the bottles and cups. He spilled the water and juice everywhere. He ate the bread and cheese and fruit. He made a huge mess. + +"Rex, no! Bad dog! Go away!" Lisa and Tom shouted, trying to stop him. + +But Rex did not listen. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing with him. He barked and ran around the garden. + +Lisa and Tom were very angry and sad. Their party was ruined. Their clothes and hats were wet and dirty. Their toys and dolls were scattered and broken. They cried and hugged each other. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that pretending to be grown-ups was not always fun. They learned that they had to be careful with their things. They learned that they loved their dog, even when he was naughty. They learned that they were still children, and that was okay. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. Today, they have a new game. It is a purple box with cards and dice. Anna wants to play the game with Ben. + +"Ben, look at this game. It is purple. Purple is my favorite color. Do you want to play with me?" Anna asks. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not like purple. He likes green. He wants to play with his green truck. + +"No, Anna. I do not want to play that game. It is purple. Purple is a silly color. I want to play with my truck. It is green. Green is a cool color. Come and play with me." Ben says. + +Anna feels sad. She likes Ben, but she does not like his truck. She likes the game. She thinks it is fun. She tries to make Ben play with her. + +"Ben, please play with me. The game is fun. You can roll the dice and pick a card. You can win prizes. You can have some of my purple candy. Please, Ben, please." Anna begs. + +Ben resists. He does not want to play the game. He does not want the candy. He wants to play with his truck. He thinks it is more fun. He pushes the game away. + +"Anna, stop it. I do not want to play that game. It is boring. I want to play with my truck. It is fast and loud. You can play with me or go away." Ben says. + +Anna feels angry. She does not like Ben, but she does not want to go away. She likes the game. She thinks it is better. She grabs the game and runs away. + +"Fine, Ben. I will play the game by myself. You are mean and rude. I do not want to be your friend. You can play with your truck alone." Anna says. + +Anna and Ben are not friends anymore. They do not play together. They do not talk to each other. They are both unhappy. They miss each other. They wish they could play together again. Maybe they will say sorry and share their toys. Maybe they will find a new game that they both like. Maybe they will learn to like purple and green. Maybe they will be friends again. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses and bridges. Lily learns how to make a pattern with the blocks. She uses red, blue, red, blue, red, blue. She shows Ben her pattern. + +"Look, Ben, I made a pattern. Do you like it?" Lily asks. + +Ben looks at Lily's pattern. He thinks it is boring. He wants to make his own pattern. He uses yellow, green, purple, yellow, green, purple. He shows Lily his pattern. + +"Look, Lily, I made a pattern too. It is better than yours. It has more colors," Ben says. + +Lily looks at Ben's pattern. She thinks it is unusual. She does not like it. She thinks it is too messy. She wants Ben to use her pattern. + +"No, Ben, your pattern is not better. It is unusual. It does not look nice. You should use my pattern. It is red, blue, red, blue, red, blue," Lily says. + +Ben does not want to use Lily's pattern. He likes his pattern. He thinks it is fun. He does not want to change it. + +"No, Lily, I do not want to use your pattern. It is boring. It only has two colors. I like my pattern. It is yellow, green, purple, yellow, green, purple," Ben says. + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They do not want to play with each other. They do not want to share the blocks. They are not happy. + +Mom hears Lily and Ben arguing. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees their patterns. She smiles. + +"Lily and Ben, why are you arguing? You both made nice patterns. They are different, but they are both good. You can learn from each other. You can mix your patterns. You can make new patterns. You can have fun together," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben listen to Mom. They stop arguing. They look at each other's patterns. They see that they are both good. They decide to try Mom's idea. They mix their patterns. They make new patterns. They have fun together. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park. It had swings and slides and a big sandbox. They got in the car and put on their seat belts. Mom drove the car. + +"Guess what, Tom?" Lily said. "I have a surprise for you. It is in my backpack." + +"What is it?" Tom asked. He liked surprises. + +"You have to guess," Lily said. "It is something you like. It is soft and brown and has a name." + +Tom thought hard. He liked many things that were soft and brown. He guessed, "Is it a teddy bear?" + +"No, it is not a teddy bear," Lily said. "Guess again." + +"Is it a chocolate cake?" Tom guessed. + +"No, it is not a chocolate cake," Lily said. "Guess again." + +Tom was getting tired of guessing. He wanted to see the surprise. He guessed, "Is it a puppy?" + +"Yes, it is a puppy!" Lily said. She was very happy. She opened her backpack and took out a small puppy. It was soft and brown and had a red collar. "His name is Spot. He is my new friend. Mom said I can keep him. Do you like him?" + +Tom liked puppies. He wanted to pet the puppy. He reached out his hand. But the puppy did not like Tom. The puppy barked and bit Tom's finger. Tom cried. It hurt a lot. Mom stopped the car. She was angry. + +"Lily, why did you bring a puppy in the car?" Mom asked. "You know you are not allowed to have pets. Where did you get him?" + +"I found him on the street," Lily said. "He was alone and hungry. I wanted to be helpful. I thought Tom would like him too." + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, you were not helpful. You were naughty. You cannot keep the puppy. He is not yours. He might have a home and a family. He might be sick or dangerous. You have to give him back. And you have to say sorry to Tom." + +Lily did not want to give back the puppy. She did not want to say sorry to Tom. She liked the puppy. She hugged him and cried. The puppy licked her face. He liked her too. + +But Mom was firm. She said, "Lily, you have to do as I say. Now give me the puppy and say sorry to Tom. Or you will not go to the park. You will go to your room." + +Lily had no choice. She gave the puppy to Mom and said sorry to Tom. But she was not really sorry. She was sad and angry. She did not like Mom. She did not like Tom. She did not like the car. She did not like the seat. She did not like anything. She wished she had kept the puppy. She wished she had a different family. She wished she had a different life. She wished she had never guessed. +Lisa loved to draw and paint. She was very creative. She liked to make pictures of animals, flowers and people. She had many colors and papers to use. + +One day, she wanted to draw a bunny. She looked for a picture of a bunny in her books, but she could not find one. She asked her mom, "Mom, can you show me a bunny?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we go to the garden and see if we can find a real bunny?" + +Lisa was excited. She put on her shoes and coat and followed her mom to the garden. They saw many plants and flowers, but no bunnies. + +Then, Lisa saw something orange poking out of the ground. She ran to it and pulled it out. It was a carrot. She said, "Look, mom, a carrot! Maybe a bunny left it here." + +Her mom said, "Maybe. Or maybe a bunny will come and eat it. Why don't we raise it up and see if we can attract a bunny?" + +Lisa liked the idea. She raised the carrot up in the air and waved it around. She said, "Here, bunny, bunny, come and get your carrot!" + +She waited and waited, but no bunny came. She felt sad. She said, "Mom, where are the bunnies? Why don't they want my carrot?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lisa. Maybe the bunnies are shy or busy. But you know what? You can still use your carrot to draw a bunny. You can use it as a stamp and make orange shapes on your paper. Then you can add ears, eyes, nose and whiskers with your crayons. That would be very creative." + +Lisa smiled and said, "That sounds fun. Let's go back to the house and try it." + +They went back to the house and Lisa used her carrot and her crayons to make a beautiful picture of a bunny. She was very happy and proud. She showed it to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I made a bunny!" + +Her mom said, "You did a great job, Lisa. You are very creative. And you know what? Maybe tomorrow we can go back to the garden and see if we can find a real bunny." + +Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I would like that. Maybe they will like my picture too." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl sitting on a bench. She has long hair and a pink dress. She looks shy. + +"Who is she?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says. + +They walk to the bench. The new girl sees them and smiles. + +"Hi, we are Anna and Ben. What is your name?" Ben asks. + +The new girl opens her mouth, but no words come out. She looks down and blushes. + +Anna and Ben wait for her to answer. They think she is funny. + +"Can you talk?" Anna teases. + +The new girl nods, but still does not say anything. + +"Are you a cat?" Ben teases. + +The new girl shakes her head, but still does not say anything. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They think she is silly. + +"Come on, let's play hide and seek. You can be the seeker," Anna says. + +She grabs the new girl's hand and pulls her to the playground. The new girl follows them. She does not know what to do. + +Anna and Ben run and hide behind the slide. The new girl stands in the middle and counts to ten. She does not know how to search for them. + +She walks around and looks at the trees and the swings. She does not see Anna and Ben. She feels sad and scared. + +She wishes she could talk to them. She wishes they would not tease her. She wishes she had a friend. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys: a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. They make bubbles and splash water. + +One day, mom gives them a new shampoo. It is pink and smells good. She says it is for their hair. Tom and Lily want to try it. They squeeze some shampoo on their hands and rub it on their hair. They make funny shapes with their hair: a mohawk, a ponytail, a crown and a horn. + +"Look at me, Lily! I am a unicorn!" Tom says. He shows his horn to Lily. + +"You are funny, Tom! And look at me, I am a princess!" Lily says. She shows her crown to Tom. + +They laugh and giggle. They rinse their hair with water. Then they have an idea. They squeeze more shampoo on their hands and rub it on their faces. They make funny faces: a clown, a cat, a pirate and a monster. + +"Arrr, Lily! I am a pirate! I will dive and find the treasure!" Tom says. He dives under the water and grabs the boat. + +"Meow, Tom! I am a cat! I will catch the fish!" Lily says. She dives under the water and grabs the fish. + +They come up and show their toys to each other. They are happy and proud. Mom comes and sees them. She smiles and says: + +"You are very creative, Tom and Lily! But now it is time to get out of the bath. You are clean and shiny. And very funny!" +Sara and Ben were playing with their new toy car. It was red and shiny and had four big wheels. They liked to push it around the floor and make vroom noises. + +But then, something bad happened. The handle of the car broke off. It was a part that they used to steer the car. Sara and Ben were sad and angry. + +"Who broke the handle?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was too dry and weak," Ben said. + +They looked at the handle. It was dry and cracked. They tried to put it back on the car, but it did not work. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They ran to the kitchen, where their mom was making cookies. + +"Mom, mom, look!" Sara said, holding the handle. "Our car is broken!" + +"Oh, no, what happened?" their mom asked. + +"The handle came off. It was a part of the car. Can you fix it?" Ben said. + +Their mom looked at the handle and the car. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, my loves. I can fix it. I have some glue and tape. We can make the handle strong again. And then you can play with your car some more." + +"Really? Thank you, mom!" Sara and Ben said. + +They followed their mom to the table, where she glued and taped the handle to the car. She waited for it to dry, and then gave it back to them. + +"Here you go. Your car is good as new. Be careful with it, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, mom. We will. Thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben said. + +They took their car and ran back to the living room. They pushed it around the floor and made vroom noises. They were happy and grateful. They loved their mom and their car. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy ship in the bath. They pretended they were pirates and sailors, and had many adventures on the water. One day, they saw a big spider on the wall. It was black and hairy, and had eight legs. They were scared of the spider. + +"Look, Lily, a spider!" Ben shouted. "It is big and ugly. I don't like it." + +"Me neither, Ben. It is scary. What if it comes near us?" Lily said. "Maybe it wants to eat our ship." + +They hugged their ship and moved away from the spider. They hoped it would go away. But the spider did not go away. It crawled closer and closer to the bath. It reached the edge and looked down at the water. It saw the ship and the children. + +The spider wanted to play with the ship. It thought it was a nice toy. It stretched its leg and touched the ship. The ship rocked and tipped over. Ben and Lily screamed. The spider was surprised and scared too. It let go of the ship and fell into the water. It splashed and struggled. It did not like the water. + +"Help, help!" the spider cried. "I can't swim. I'm drowning. Please rescue me." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the spider. They realized it was not mean. It was just curious. They decided to help it. They used a cup to scoop the spider out of the water. They put it on a towel and dried it gently. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the spider said. "You are very kind. I'm sorry I scared you and your ship. I just wanted to play. Can we be friends?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They said yes. They gave the spider a name. They called it Fluffy. They played with Fluffy and their ship. They had fun. They learned that the spider was not dull. It was interesting and friendly. They were happy. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals and plants. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They see corn, carrots, apples, and wheat. + +One day, they find a big scarecrow in the wheat field. The scarecrow has a hat, a shirt, and pants. He has straw for hair and buttons for eyes. He looks funny. + +"Hello, scarecrow!" Sam says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The scarecrow does not answer. He does not move. He does not blink. + +"Maybe he is shy," Mia says. "Or maybe he is sleepy." + +Sam and Mia decide to make the scarecrow happy. They pick some flowers and put them in his hat. They sing a song and dance around him. They tell him jokes and make funny faces. + +The scarecrow still does not answer. He still does not move. He still does not blink. + +Sam and Mia are sad. They think the scarecrow does not like them. + +"Maybe he is lonely," Sam says. "Or maybe he is bored." + +Sam and Mia decide to make the scarecrow a friend. They find some straw and some clothes. They make another scarecrow and put it next to the first one. They give it a name and a smile. + +"Look, scarecrow!" Mia says. "This is Lily. She is your friend. She will keep you company." + +The scarecrow does not answer. He does not move. He does not blink. + +But then, something happens. The wind blows. The wheat rustles. The scarecrows sway. + +And then, Sam and Mia see it. The scarecrow blinks. He blinks once, twice, three times. He looks at Lily. He looks at Sam and Mia. He smiles. + +"Hello, Sam. Hello, Mia. Hello, Lily," the scarecrow says. "Thank you for playing with me. You are very kind. You made me happy." + +Sam and Mia are surprised. They are happy. They clap their hands and cheer. + +"Hello, scarecrow!" they say. "We are glad you are happy. You are our friend. We will play with you again." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They wanted to play in the sand and swim in the water. They had to pack their bags first. + +"Ben, can you pack your hat and your sunscreen?" Mom asked. "The sunshine is very bright and hot today. You don't want to get burned." + +"OK, Mom," Ben said. He found his hat and his sunscreen in his drawer and put them in his bag. He also packed his towel, his swimsuit, and his toy car. + +"Lily, can you pack your sunglasses and your water bottle?" Dad asked. "The sunshine is very bright and hot today. You don't want to get thirsty." + +"OK, Dad," Lily said. She found her sunglasses and her water bottle in her closet and put them in her bag. She also packed her towel, her swimsuit, and her doll. + +They were ready to go. They put their bags in the car and got in. Mom and Dad checked the house. It was empty. They locked the door and drove away. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Soon, Ben, soon," Mom said. "Look, you can see the ocean. It's blue and shiny." + +"Wow, it's beautiful," Lily said. "I can't wait to get there." + +They arrived at the beach. They unpacked their bags and ran to the sand. They had a lot of fun. They made a sandcastle, they collected shells, they splashed in the water. They laughed and smiled. They enjoyed the sunshine. It was a good day. +Lily loved rockets. She had many toys of rockets that she played with every day. She liked to make them fly in the air and zoom around her room. She dreamed of going to space in a real rocket someday. + +One day, Lily saw a big box with a bow on it. It was her birthday and her parents had a surprise for her. She opened the box and saw a shiny new rocket toy. It was bigger and better than any of her other rockets. It had lights and sounds and could even rise up in the air with a remote control. Lily was so happy. She hugged her parents and thanked them. + +She took her new rocket to the backyard and started to play with it. She made it rise and fall and spin and loop. She had so much fun. She did not want to share it with anyone. She did not even let her little brother touch it. She said it was her rocket and only hers. + +Her little brother felt sad. He liked rockets too. He wanted to play with Lily and her new toy. He asked her nicely if he could have a turn. But Lily said no. She said he was too small and he would break it. She said he had his own toys and he should leave her alone. She was very mean to him. + +Her little brother started to cry. He ran to their mom and told her what Lily did. Their mom was not happy. She went to the backyard and saw Lily playing with her rocket. She called her name and told her to come inside. She said she wanted to talk to her. + +Lily did not want to go inside. She wanted to play with her rocket. She said no to her mom. She said she was busy and she did not care. She was very rude to her mom. + +Her mom was very angry. She went to the backyard and took the rocket from Lily. She said Lily was being a spoiled brat. She said she did not deserve such a nice toy if she could not share it and be kind to her brother. She said she was going to put it away until Lily learned her lesson. She said she was very disappointed in her. + +Lily was very sad. She realized she had been very bad. She had hurt her brother and her mom. She had wasted her birthday gift. She wished she had been nicer and more generous. She wished she had her rocket back. She said she was sorry and she wanted to change. She said she loved her brother and her mom. She said she would share her rocket and play with them. + +Her mom hugged her and said she was glad. She said she forgave her and she loved her too. She said she would give her another chance. She said she would let her have her rocket back if she promised to be good. She said she was proud of her. + +Lily smiled and said she promised. She said she was happy and she thanked her mom. She ran to her brother and said she was sorry. She said she wanted to play with him and share her rocket. She said she loved him too. + +Her brother smiled and said he forgave her. He said he wanted to play with her and see her rocket. He said he loved her too. + +They went to the backyard and played with the rocket together. They made it rise and fall and spin and loop. They had so much fun. They were happy. They were a family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some toys. They liked to splash and soak each other and their toys. They had a lot of fun. + +One of their toys was a bear. It was Lily's favorite toy. She always hugged it and slept with it. She called it Teddy. Teddy was very important to her. + +But Ben wanted to play with Teddy too. He grabbed Teddy from Lily and threw him in the water. Teddy got very wet and dirty. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and shouted at Ben. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily or Teddy. He took Teddy out of the water and gave him back to Lily. He said he was sorry and asked Lily to forgive him. + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Teddy. He was dripping and muddy. She felt sorry for Teddy. She hugged him and said it was okay. She forgave Ben and asked him to help her clean Teddy. + +They took Teddy inside and washed him with soap and water. They dried him with a towel and put him in the sun. They hoped Teddy would be dry and fluffy soon. They said they loved Teddy and each other. They learned to share and be kind. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the farm. They loved to feed the animals and watch them run and jump. One day, they saw a new horse in the barn. It was big and brown and had a long mane. Lily and Tom wanted to pet it and give it some oats. + +"Hello, horse," Lily said. "You are very charming. Do you want some oats?" She held out her hand with some oats in it. + +The horse looked at Lily and Tom and snorted. It did not want the oats. It wanted to be alone. It kicked the wall of the barn and made a loud noise. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom said. "You are scaring the other animals. And you are breaking the barn. That is not nice." + +The horse did not listen to Tom. It kicked the wall again and again. It made a big hole in the wall. The farmer heard the noise and came to the barn. He saw the horse and the hole and was very angry. + +"What are you doing, horse?" the farmer said. "You are ruining my barn. You are a bad horse. I will not keep you here. I will send you away." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the horse. They knew it was not a bad horse. It was just scared and lonely. They wanted to help it. + +"Please, farmer, do not send the horse away," Lily said. "We can restore the barn. We can fix the hole. And we can be friends with the horse. We can make it happy." + +The farmer looked at Lily and Tom. He saw that they were kind and brave. He decided to give the horse a chance. + +"Okay, you can restore the barn," the farmer said. "And you can try to be friends with the horse. But you have to be careful. The horse is not used to people. It may bite or kick you." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They thanked the farmer and went to work. They found some wood and nails and hammered the hole. They also found some hay and carrots and brought them to the horse. They spoke to the horse softly and gently. They stroked its mane and nose. They offered it some hay and carrots. + +The horse was surprised by Lily and Tom. It saw that they were not mean or loud. They were nice and quiet. They gave it food and love. It felt a warm feeling in its heart. It decided to trust them. It ate the hay and carrots. It let them pet it. It even nuzzled their hands. + +Lily and Tom were happy. They had restored the barn and made a new friend. They named the horse Brownie and visited it every day. They also gave it some oats. The horse liked the oats. It was a charming horse. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big sheep with white wool in the field. They wanted to touch it and feel how soft it was. + +"Let's go and say hello to the sheep," Sam said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be wild," Mia said. + +They ran to the sheep and tried to pet it. But the sheep did not like that. It was wild and scared of the children. It baaed loudly and kicked Sam with its hoof. Sam fell down and hurt his leg. He cried out in pain. + +"Mia, help me! The sheep is bad!" Sam said. + +Mia was scared too. She ran to Sam and hugged him. She tried to calm him down and look at his leg. It was bleeding and had a big bruise. She tasted blood in her mouth. She had bitten her lip when she ran. + +"Sam, we need to go home. You need a band-aid and a hug," Mia said. + +But the sheep was not done. It was angry and chased them. It wanted to make them go away. It ran faster and faster and caught up with them. It bit Mia's hair and pulled it hard. Mia screamed and let go of Sam. She fell down and hurt her head. She felt dizzy and sick. + +"Sam, run! The sheep is wild!" Mia said. + +But Sam could not run. His leg was too sore. He tried to crawl away, but the sheep was too quick. It jumped on him and pushed him down. It baaed and stamped on him. Sam felt a lot of pain and could not breathe. He closed his eyes and wished for his mom. + +The sheep was wild and bad. It hurt Sam and Mia. They could not go home. They could not get a band-aid and a hug. They were alone and sad. The end. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. Sometimes they make up stories with their toys. They pretend they are on a farm, or in a castle, or in a spaceship. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a small machine with a red button and a speaker. They do not know what it is. They ask their mom. + +"That is a recorder," mom says. "You can use it to record your voice. You press the red button and talk. Then you press it again and listen. It is fun." + +Anna and Ben want to try it. They take turns to record their voices. They say silly things, like "I am a cow, moo moo" and "I am a princess, hello hello". They laugh when they hear their voices. + +They decide to make a story with the recorder. They use their toys as characters. Anna is a sweet fairy who lives in a flower. Ben is a brave knight who rides a horse. They have a problem. A mean dragon wants to burn the flower. They have to stop him. + +They record their story with the recorder. They use different voices for the fairy, the knight, and the dragon. They make sounds for the horse, the fire, and the wind. They have a lot of fun. + +When they finish, they listen to their story. They are proud of their work. They want to share it with mom. + +"Mom, mom, we made a story with the recorder!" Anna says. + +"Can we play it for you?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, I would love to hear it," mom says. "You are very creative, my darlings." + +They play their story for mom. Mom smiles and claps. She says it is a wonderful story. She says she will keep the recorder as a will. A will is something you give to someone you love when you are not here anymore. + +"Why do you want to give us the recorder as a will, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Because it has your sweet voices and your amazing stories," mom says. "They are very precious to me. They make me happy. I want you to have them always." + +Anna and Ben hug mom. They say they love her very much. They say they will make more stories with the recorder. They say they will always remember her voice and her stories too. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run fast and slide down the big hill. They saw a man with a big bag of food. He was sitting on a bench and eating a sandwich. + +"Can we have some?" Ben asked. He was hungry and the food smelled good. + +The man looked at them and smiled. He opened his bag and took out a small jar. "Do you like olives?" he asked. + +Ben and Lily did not know what olives were. They looked like small green balls with holes in them. The man gave them each one to try. + +Ben bit his olive and made a face. It was sour and salty. He did not like it at all. He spit it out and said, "Yuck!" + +Lily bit her olive and shrugged. It was not very good, but not very bad either. She swallowed it and said, "It's okay." + +The man laughed and said, "Well, olives are not for everyone. How about some cookies? I have chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked cookies very much. The man gave them each two cookies and a napkin. They thanked him and ate them happily. + +They liked the cookies much better than the olives. They were sweet and crunchy. They smiled and said, "Yum!" + +The man was glad they liked his cookies. He said, "You're welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day." + +Ben and Lily waved goodbye and ran back to the hill. They slid down fast and had more fun. They forgot about the olives, but remembered the cookies. They were very nice. +Lily liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the rug, on the chair. She spun so fast that everything looked like a blur. She spun until she felt dizzy and fell down. She laughed and got up to spin again. + +One day, she saw a big red ball in the park. It was shiny and round and bounced high. Lily wanted to play with it. She ran to the ball and kicked it hard. The ball flew in the air and landed far away. Lily chased after it, but she did not see the pond. + +Splash! Lily fell into the water. It was cold and wet and deep. She was scared and cried for help. She could not swim. She tried to grab the ball, but it floated away. + +"Help! Help!" she shouted. + +She heard a voice. It was her big brother, Ben. He was smart and strong and kind. He heard Lily's cry and ran to the pond. He saw her head bobbing in the water. He jumped in and swam to her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her out. + +"Lily, are you okay?" he asked. + +Lily coughed and shivered. She hugged Ben and nodded. + +"Thank you, Ben. You saved me," she said. + +Ben smiled and rubbed her back. + +"You're welcome, Lily. But you have to be careful. Don't run after balls that go near ponds. And don't spin too much. You might get hurt," he said. + +Lily nodded again. She was sorry and grateful. She learned her lesson. She still liked to spin, but not near ponds. And she always listened to Ben's voice. He was smart and he loved her. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play doctor and patient. Anna is the doctor and Ben is the patient. + +One day, Ben says, "Anna, I have a sore back. Can you help me?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that her mom likes to get a massage when her back is sore. She says, "I know what to do. I can give you a massage. Lie down on the floor and relax." + +Ben lies down on the floor and closes his eyes. Anna puts her hands on his back and rubs gently. She says, "How does that feel? Does it make you feel better?" + +Ben says, "Yes, it feels nice. Thank you, Anna. You are a good doctor." + +Anna smiles and says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good patient. Do you want to play something else now?" + +Ben says, "Yes, let's play. What do you want to play?" + +Anna says, "How about we play zoo? We can pretend to be different animals. I want to be a lion. What do you want to be?" + +Ben says, "I want to be a monkey. I like to jump and swing. Come on, let's go to the zoo." + +Anna and Ben get up and run to the living room. They pretend to be a lion and a monkey. They have fun playing zoo. They are happy twins. +It was a cold season. The snow was white and soft on the ground. Lily and Ben wanted to play outside. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They ran to the door. + +"Mom, can we go out and play?" they asked. + +"Yes, but be careful and don't stay too long," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben opened the door and saw their dog, Spot. Spot was a big, furry dog. He liked to play with them. But today, he did not want to go out. He was lying on his bed, near the fire. + +"Come on, Spot, let's go out and play!" Lily said. She tried to pull him by his collar. + +But Spot refused. He shook his head and growled. He did not like the cold and the snow. He liked to be warm and cozy. + +"Please, Spot, it will be fun!" Ben said. He tried to push him by his back. + +But Spot refused. He curled up and barked. He did not want to leave his bed and his fire.

He stayed on his bed and sighed. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a wallet on the street. It had money and cards inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "We can buy lots of toys and candy with this money!" + +"No, Tom, that is not right," Lily said. "This wallet belongs to someone else. We should give it back." + +"But why?" Tom asked. "They will never know. And we can have more fun with it." + +"That is selfish, Tom," Lily said. "How would you feel if you lost your wallet and someone took your money? You would be sad and angry. We should value what we have and not take what is not ours." + +Lily was right. Tom thought about it and felt sorry. He agreed to give the wallet back. They looked at the cards and saw a name and a phone number. They called the number and told the person they had found their wallet. + +The person was very happy and grateful. They said they had been looking for their wallet all day. They thanked Tom and Lily and offered them a reward. + +Tom and Lily said no, they did not want a reward. They were just happy to help.

"Let's go and peek at it." + +They run to the truck and peek inside. They see a seat, a wheel, and many buttons. They want to touch them. + +"Can we go inside?" Tom asks. + +"No, that is foolish," Sam says. "The truck is not ours. The driver will be angry." + +But Tom does not listen. He climbs inside the truck and sits on the seat.

He is very angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing in my truck?" he shouts. "Get out of there, you foolish boy!" + +Tom is scared. He jumps out of the truck and runs to Sam.

She makes a face too. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. "I don't like pepperoni and pineapple. They are not ordinary." + +Tom and Lily give back their pieces. They only want cheese pizza. That is their favorite. + +Mom and Dad smile. They don't mind. They like their pizza. + +"Maybe when you are older, you will like different toppings," Mom says. + +"Maybe," Tom says. + +"Maybe," Lily says. + +But for now, they are happy with their cheese pizza.

Sam asked. + +"Can we play together, please?" Ben asked. + +Their mom smiled and shook her head. "Maybe later, if you behave. For now, you have to play with these toys and see how they work. Maybe you will find something fun and new." + +Sam and Ben nodded and tried to play with the new toys. They did not fit very well, but they tried to make the best of it.

It was loud and scary and smelled funny. + +The doctor was nice, but he had to poke Sara's arm with a needle. Sara cried and hugged Mommy. The doctor said the needle would make Sara feel better.

They said Sara had to stay there for a while. Sara did not want to stay. She wanted to go home and play with her toys and her dog. She was bored and sad. + +She saw a window in the room. She wondered what was outside. She got out of the bed and walked to the window. She peeked through the curtains. She saw a big garden with flowers and trees and birds.

On the way, they saw a big yellow bus. They wanted to ride the bus, but their mom said no. She said the bus was too noisy and crowded, and that walking was good for them. She said they had a luxury to play with their truck at the park. + +Sam and Tom were not happy. They thought the bus was more fun than the truck. They did not understand what luxury meant. They thought it was something bad. They did not say anything, but they made a plan. When they got to the park, they would sneak away and find the bus stop. + +They got to the park and their mom let them play with their truck. She said she would sit on a bench and watch them.

The bus drove away. + +Sam and Tom were shocked and sad. They had lost their favorite truck. They did not know what to do. They cried and screamed. Their mom heard them and ran to them.

It is a special day. Can't you take a break from your work and come to my party? It will only be for a little while. Please, Ben, please." + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "Lily, I know it is your birthday. And I know it is a special day. But my work is important too. My mom and dad need me. They count on me. If I don't do my work, they will be unhappy. And I don't want to make them unhappy. I am sorry, Lily, but I can't come to your party. Maybe we can play another day." + +Lily felt very sad. She said, "Okay, Ben. I understand.

Can I watch it?" + +Her mom said, "It will bloom when it is ready, Anna. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day. You can watch it, but you have to be patient and gentle. Don't pull it or hurt it, okay?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I will be patient and gentle. I love my sunflower." + +The next day, Anna woke up early and ran to the garden.

She saw cows and horses and trees and houses and bridges and trucks. + +When they got to the city, they looked for a place to sleep. They saw a big building with a sign that said "Hotel". Mom said, "This is where we will stay tonight. It is a hotel. A hotel is a place where people can sleep and eat and have fun when they are away from home." + +They parked their car and went inside the hotel. A man was at a desk. He smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to the hotel. How can I help you?" Dad said, "We have a reservation for one night. We are the Smith family." The man looked at his computer and said, "Yes, I have your reservation. You are in room 314. Here are your keys. You can take the elevator to the third floor. Do you need any help with your bags?" Dad said, "No, thank you, we can carry them ourselves." + +They took the elevator to the third floor and found their room. It was a nice room with a big bed and a small bed and a TV and a bathroom.

Then we have to go out and see the city. There are many things to do and see here." + +They went out and saw the city. They saw a park with a playground and a fountain and a pond.

She loved to explore the park, the library, and the market with her mom. One day, at the market, she saw a green fruit that looked like a big egg. She asked her mom what it was. + +"That's an avocado, Anna. It's a fruit that you can eat. Do you want to try it?" her mom said. + +Anna nodded. She was curious about the avocado. Her mom bought one and gave it to her. "Here, you can receive this avocado as a gift. You can eat it at home with some bread and cheese," her mom said. + +Anna thanked her mom and held the avocado in her hands. She felt its smooth skin and its hard seed inside.

She spread it on a slice of bread and added some cheese. She gave it to Anna and said, "This is a simple and healthy snack. I hope you like it." + +Anna took a bite and smiled.

She rubbed the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She made them look very bright and clean. + +One day, she saw a big bottle of ink on the desk. It was black and wet.

What have I done?" + +She heard her mom coming. She was scared. She hid under the desk with the bottle and the cloth. + +"Lily, where are you?" her mom asked.

She put the paper on the desk. She took Lily's shoes and left the room. + +Lily peeked out from under the desk. She saw the paper. She could not read, but she saw a picture. It was a picture of her shoes with a big star on them. And a word: amazing. + +She felt happy. She ran out of the room. She saw her mom in the hall. She had a new pair of shoes for her. They were pink and sparkly. + +"Mom, thank you!" she said. "You are amazing!" + +Her mom hugged her. "You are amazing too, Lily. And so are your shoes. They are very creative. But next time, please don't use ink. Use paint instead. It's more fun and less messy." +Lila and Max were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and look at the stars. One night, they saw a big, bright star in the sky. It was a planet. + +"Wow, look at that planet!" Max said. "It is so shiny and pretty. I want to go there." + +"Me too," Lila said. "Maybe we can fly there in a rocket. And then we can live there and be happy." + +Max smiled. He had an idea. He took Lila's hand and said, "Lila, do you want to marry me? Then we can be a family and go to the planet together." + +Lila nodded. She liked Max very much. She said, "Yes, Max, I want to marry you. You are my best friend and I love you." + +They hugged and kissed. They made rings out of paper and put them on their fingers. They pretended to be married and to fly to the planet.

Ben said. + +Lily and Sam looked at each other. They both liked their instruments and did not want to share them. They thought for a moment. + +"I have an idea," Sam said. "We can split my guitar in half. Then you can have one half and I can have the other half. We can still make music." + +Lily and Ben did not think that was a good idea. They shook their heads. + +"No, Sam. That is not a good idea. If you split your guitar, it will break and you will not be able to play it anymore. It will not make music. It will make a mess," Lily said. + +"Then what can we do?" Sam said. + +Lily looked around and saw a big cardboard box in Ben's yard. She had another idea. + +"Look, Ben. There is a big box in your yard. We can use it as an instrument. We can cut out a hole and make a string. Then you can have a bass and play with us. We can be a band," Lily said. + +Ben liked that idea. He nodded and smiled. + +"OK, Lily. That is a good idea. Let's do that. Thank you for being my friend," Ben said. + +They got some scissors and a rope and made a bass out of the box. Then they played together and made music. They had fun and were happy.

You have to be healthy and strong." + +Mia does not like Mommy's answer. She cries and stomps her feet. She says, "It is not fair! I want to be with Ben! He is my brother!" + +Mommy hugs Mia.

You hurt your hand and you dropped the cookies. That's not fun. But it's okay. We can make more cookies later. First, let's put some ice on your hand and make it feel better." + +Lily felt better with the ice and mom's hug. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was not careful. I wanted the cookies so much. They looked so yummy and orange." Mom said, "I know, Lily. They were orange because we added some carrot to the dough. It makes them healthier and sweeter. But you have to wait until they are cool enough to eat. Next time, we will wait together, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom. I love you and I love your cookies." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily.

It will turn into a butterfly. If you touch it, you will hurt it," Lily said. + +"How will it turn into a butterfly?" Tommy asked. + +Lily pointed to a brown thing hanging from a branch.

She worked hard to make the soup and she wanted him to enjoy it. + +"No, sir, I do not have pizza or cake or ice cream," Lily said. "This is the only soup I have. You have to eat it or you will be hungry and sad." + +Ben and Lily stared at each other. They both felt angry and hurt. They did not want to play anymore. They put down the pot and the spoon and walked away from the box. They sat on opposite sides of the room and did not talk to each other. + +They wished they could have fun again, but they did not know how to say sorry. They wondered if they could ever agree on what to eat. They wondered if they could ever be friends again. +Lily was a playful girl who liked to rock on her chair. She had a silver necklace that her mom gave her. She loved her necklace very much and wore it every day. + +One day, she was rocking on her chair and singing a song. She did not see that her necklace fell off her neck and landed on the floor. She was too busy having fun. + +A cat came into the room and saw the shiny necklace. The cat was curious and wanted to play with it. He picked it up with his paw and ran away. + +Lily did not notice that her necklace was gone. She kept rocking and singing until it was time for lunch. She went to the kitchen and saw her mom. + +"Hi, mom. I'm hungry. Can I have some soup?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. But where is your necklace? I don't see it on your neck," her mom said. + +Lily touched her neck and felt nothing. She gasped and ran back to her room. She looked everywhere for her necklace, but she could not find it. She started to cry. + +"Mom, mom, I lost my necklace. I don't know where it is. I'm sorry, mom. I'm so sorry," she sobbed. + +Her mom hugged her and tried to comfort her. + +"Don't worry, Lily. We'll find your necklace. Maybe it fell somewhere in the house. Let's look for it together," she said. + +They searched the house, but they could not find the necklace. They asked the other people in the house, but no one had seen it. They were about to give up, when they heard a meow from the garden. + +They went outside and saw the cat playing with the necklace. He had tangled it in a bush and was trying to pull it out. + +"Look, mom. There's my necklace. And there's the cat. He took it. He's a bad cat," Lily said. + +She ran to the cat and tried to grab the necklace. The cat hissed and scratched her hand. Lily cried out in pain and let go of the necklace. + +Her mom came to her and checked her hand. She had a small cut, but it was not serious. She cleaned it with a cloth and put a band-aid on it. + +"Lily, are you okay? That was a naughty cat. He should not have taken your necklace. But you should not have tried to take it back by force. You could have hurt yourself or the cat more. You should have asked for help or waited for the cat to leave," she said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was angry and scared. I wanted my necklace back. I love it so much. It's my favorite thing," Lily said. + +"I know, honey. I love it too. It's a special gift from me to you. But you know what? It's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you are safe and happy. You can always get another necklace, but you can never get another you," her mom said. + +Lily hugged her mom and nodded. She understood what her mom meant. She was glad that her mom loved her more than anything. + +The cat got bored of the necklace and left it on the ground. Lily's mom picked it up and put it back on Lily's neck. + +"There you go, Lily. Your necklace is back. But remember, next time you rock on your chair, make sure you don't lose it. And if you do, don't panic. Just ask for help or wait patiently. Okay?" she said. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go have some soup. You must be hungry," her mom said. + +They went back to the kitchen and had a warm and tasty soup. Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned to be careful with her things, to be calm in trouble, and to be grateful for her mom. She was a playful girl, but she was also a smart and kind girl. +Lily liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She made them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. She pretended they were racing or going on adventures. + +One day, she found a new car in her toy box. It was shiny and red, with a big tip on the back. Lily thought it looked like a rocket. She wanted to make it zoom faster than any other car. She put it on the floor and pushed it hard. + +The car zoomed across the room, past the other cars, and under the chair. Lily ran after it, laughing. She wanted to see where it would go next. But the car zoomed too fast and hit the wall. It bounced back and flipped over. The tip broke off and rolled away. + +Lily stopped and gasped. She felt sad and angry. She liked the car with the tip. She picked up the car and the tip and tried to put them back together. But they did not fit. She threw them on the floor and cried. + +Mommy heard Lily crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the tip on the floor. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. It was an accident. Sometimes things break when we play too hard. But we can fix them or find new ones. Do you want to help me glue the tip back on the car?" + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She wiped her tears and smiled. She liked to help Mommy. She hoped the car would zoom again. She was tired of crying. She wanted to play. +Ben was a dog who liked to run and play. He had a big yard with a ball and a bone. He had a friend, Max, who was a cat. Max liked to sleep and snuggle. He had a soft bed and a fish. Ben and Max were different, but they got along well. + +One day, Ben saw a flea on his fur. He tried to bite it, but it was too fast. He scratched and scratched, but it did not help. He felt itchy and unhappy. He went to Max and asked for help. + +"Max, I have a flea. It makes me itch. Can you catch it for me?" Ben said. + +Max opened one eye and looked at Ben. He saw the flea jumping on Ben's fur. He yawned and stretched. + +"Ben, I am sorry, but I cannot catch your flea. It is too small and too quick. You need to take a bath. That will make the flea go away." Max said. + +Ben did not like baths. He liked to be dirty and smelly. He shook his head and whined. + +"No, no, no. I do not want a bath. Baths are bad. They make me wet and cold. I do not like water. I like dirt. Please, Max, catch my flea." Ben said. + +Max sighed and closed his eye. He did not want to argue with Ben. He knew Ben was stubborn and silly. + +"Ben, you are being foolish. If you do not take a bath, you will have more fleas. More fleas will make you itch more. More itching will make you scratch more. More scratching will make you hurt yourself. You will be sore and sad. Do you want that?" Max said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He did not want more fleas. He did not want to itch more. He did not want to scratch more. He did not want to hurt himself. He did not want to be sore and sad. He wanted to be happy and healthy. + +"Max, you are right. I do not want that. I will take a bath. But I do not like it. It is a punishment. It is not fair. Why do I have a flea and you do not?" Ben said. + +Max opened his eye and smiled. He had a secret. He did not tell Ben that he had a flea collar. A flea collar was a thing that kept fleas away. It was a gift from his owner. He liked his flea collar. It was nice and shiny. + +"Ben, you have a flea because you are a dog. Dogs have fleas. Cats do not have fleas. Cats are clean and smart. Dogs are dirty and dumb. That is why we are different. But I still like you. You are my friend." Max said. + +Ben did not understand. He did not know what a flea collar was. He did not know why cats and dogs were different. He did not know why Max was clean and smart and he was dirty and dumb. He felt confused and sad. He did not like being different. He wanted to be like Max. + +"Max, can I be a cat? Can I have a flea collar? Can I be clean and smart?" Ben said. + +Max laughed and licked Ben's nose. He was teasing Ben. He did not mean to hurt his feelings. He wanted to cheer him up. + +"Ben, you cannot be a cat. You are a dog. You cannot have a flea collar. You have a leash. You cannot be clean and smart. You are dirty and dumb. But that is okay. I do not care. You are my friend. You are different, but you are special. Come on, let us go. I will help you take a bath. Then we can play and snuggle. We will have fun. We will be happy." Max said. + +Ben smiled and wagged his tail. He did not mind being a dog. He did not mind having a leash. He did not mind being dirty and dumb. He liked being Ben. He liked being Max's friend. He liked being different, but he liked being special. He followed Max to the bath. He was brave and good. He did not whine or run away. He let Max help him wash his flea away. He felt better and happier. He thanked Max and gave him a lick. He was glad he had a friend like Max. He was glad he had a friend who was different. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big crib where he slept at night, and where he kept his teddy bear, his truck, and his ball. He loved his crib very much, and he felt safe and cozy in it. + +One day, his mommy told him that he was going to have a baby sister soon. She said that he would have to share his crib with her, and that he would get a new bed for himself. Tommy was not happy about this. He did not want to share his crib with anyone. He did not want a new bed. He wanted to keep his crib and his toys. + +He told his mommy, "No, I don't want a baby sister. I don't want to share my crib. I want to keep my crib and my toys. Please, mommy, don't make me go." + +His mommy hugged him and said, "I know you love your crib, Tommy, but you are a big boy now. You can have a new bed that is bigger and more comfortable. And you can still keep your toys. You don't have to give them away. And you will love your baby sister, too. She will be very cute and sweet, and she will look up to you. You will be a good big brother, and you will help me take care of her. You will have so much fun with her, and she will love you very much." + +Tommy thought about what his mommy said. He was still sad about losing his crib, but he was also curious about his baby sister. He wondered what she would look like, and what she would do. He wondered if she would like his toys, and if he could teach her how to play with them. He wondered if she would smile at him, and if he could make her laugh. + +He said to his mommy, "Okay, mommy, I will try. I will share my crib with my baby sister. I will be a good big brother. I will help you take care of her. But can I still sleep in my crib sometimes, until I get used to my new bed?" + +His mommy smiled and said, "Of course, Tommy, you can sleep in your crib sometimes, until you are ready to move to your new bed. I am so proud of you, Tommy. You are very brave and kind. And I am very grateful for you. You are my best boy, and I love you very much." + +Tommy hugged his mommy and said, "I love you too, mommy. And I am grateful for you. And I am grateful for my crib, and my toys, and my baby sister." +Sam and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a pole. It is tall and shiny. Sam and Mia want to try it. + +"Look, Mia, a pole!" Sam says. "Let's climb it!" + +"OK, Sam, but be careful. It looks slippery," Mia says. + +Sam goes first. He holds the pole with his hands and tries to go up. But the pole is too slippery. Sam's hands slide down. He falls on the grass. He is not hurt, but he is sad. + +"Ouch! That was not fun. The pole is too slippery," Sam says. + +Mia goes next. She has an idea. She takes off her socks and shoes. She wraps her socks around her hands. She thinks the socks will make the pole less slippery. + +"Watch me, Sam. I have socks. They will help me climb the pole," Mia says. + +Mia holds the pole with her socks. She tries to go up. But the pole is still slippery. Mia's socks slide down. She falls on the grass. She is not hurt, but she is mad. + +"Boo! That was not fun. The pole is still slippery. And now my socks are dirty," Mia says. + +Sam and Mia look at the pole. They do not like it. It is too slippery. It is not fun. They decide to play something else. + +"Let's go to the slide, Mia. The slide is not slippery. The slide is dry and fun," Sam says. + +"OK, Sam. The slide is better than the pole. Let's go," Mia says. + +Sam and Mia run to the slide. They take turns sliding down. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the pole. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They liked to make noise and have fun. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big car. It can go fast and loud. Vroom, vroom!" Ben said. + +"I have a pretty doll. She has a dress and a hat. She can sing and dance. La, la, la!" Lily said. + +They played for a long time, until their mom came in. She looked at the mess and frowned. + +"Ben and Lily, it is time to clean up. You have too many toys on the floor. You need to put them away in the box. Then you can have a snack," she said. + +Ben and Lily did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing. They whined and pouted. + +"But mom, we are having fun. We don't want to clean up. Can we play a little more?" they said. + +Mom shook her head. She pointed to the clock. + +"No, you can't. It is almost dinner time. You need to clean up now. If you do, I have a surprise for you. Something you both like," she said. + +Ben and Lily were curious. They wondered what the surprise was. They decided to listen to mom and clean up. They picked up their toys and put them in the box. They worked together and finished quickly. + +"Good job, Ben and Lily. You are good children. You cleaned up very well. I am proud of you," mom said. + +She smiled and gave them a hug. Then she took out a bowl from the kitchen. It had something green and round in it. + +"Look, this is your surprise. It is olives. You love olives, don't you?" she said. + +Ben and Lily clapped their hands. They loved olives. They thought they were yummy and fun to eat. They thanked mom and took some olives from the bowl. They ate them happily and made funny faces. + +"Olives are good. They are salty and juicy. They have a hole in the middle. I can put them on my fingers. Look, mom, I have olive fingers!" Ben said. + +"Me too, me too. I have olive fingers. They are silly and cute. I can make them talk. Hello, mom, I am an olive. I am your friend," Lily said. + +Mom laughed and joined them. She also took some olives and put them on her fingers. They played and talked with their olive fingers. They had a lot of fun. They were a happy family. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, Tom sees Lily's new doll. He wants to play with it, but Lily says no. She says it is her doll and she loves it. + +Tom is envious. He thinks of a plan. He tells Lily, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me." He takes her to the garden and points to a big flower. "Look, this is for you. It is very pretty and smells good. Do you like it?" he says. + +Lily is happy. She loves flowers. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. I like it very much." She runs to the flower and picks it up. She smells it and smiles. + +But Tom is not kind. He lies to Lily. He does not have a surprise for her. He wants to take her doll. He runs back to the house and grabs the doll. He laughs and says, "Ha ha, this is my doll now. You are so silly. You fell for my trick." + +But Lily is not silly. She sees Tom running away with her doll. She is angry and sad. She cries and says, "Tom, you are very mean. You lied to me. You took my doll. That is not fair. Give it back to me." + +Tom does not listen. He plays with the doll and makes fun of Lily. He says, "No, this is my doll. You can have the flower. It is better for you. You are a baby. You do not need a doll." + +But the flower is not better for Lily. It is a fake flower. It is made of plastic and paper. It does not smell good. It smells bad. It makes Lily sneeze. She throws it away and says, "This is not a real flower. It is a fake flower. It is ugly and stinky. You are a liar and a thief. You are a bad brother." + +Tom does not care. He thinks he is clever and happy. He does not know that lying and stealing are wrong. He does not know that he hurts Lily's feelings. He does not know that he makes himself unhappy. + +But soon he learns. He plays with the doll, but he does not enjoy it. He feels guilty and scared. He worries that Lily will tell their mom and dad. He worries that they will be angry and punish him. He worries that they will not love him anymore. He worries that he will lose his sister and his friend. + +He realizes that he made a mistake. He realizes that he was envious and selfish. He realizes that he should have been nice and honest. He realizes that he should have shared and cared. + +He decides to change. He decides to say sorry and give back the doll. He decides to do some work and make a real flower for Lily. He decides to be a good brother and a good friend. + +He goes to Lily and says, "Lily, I am sorry. I lied to you and took your doll. That was wrong. I am sorry. Here is your doll. I hope you forgive me. I love you." + +Lily is surprised. She sees Tom's face and hears his voice. She sees that he is sincere and sorry. She feels his love and kindness. She says, "Tom, I forgive you. I love you too. Thank you for giving back my doll. You are a good brother and a good friend." + +Tom is happy. He feels relieved and proud. He says, "You are welcome, Lily. I have something else for you. I made a real flower for you. It is very pretty and smells good. Do you like it?" + +Lily is happy. She sees the flower and smells it. She sees that it is real and beautiful. She says, "Wow, Tom, this is amazing. You made this for me? How did you do it?" + +Tom says, "I did some work. I found some seeds and planted them. I watered them and watched them grow. I waited and waited. And then they bloomed. I picked one for you. I wanted to make you happy." + +Lily says, "Tom, you made me very happy. This is the best flower ever. You are very talented and generous. I want to share it with you. Can we put it in a vase and keep it in our room?" + +Tom says, "Yes, Lily, we can. That is a great idea. Let's do that. And let's play with our toys together. We have so many toys. We can have fun and learn. We can be happy and grateful." + +Lily says, "Yes, Tom, let's do that. You are right. We have so many toys. We do not need to be envious or selfish +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big, sparkly stone. It was a diamond! + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and bright. Can we keep it?" + +Ben nodded. He thought the diamond was cool. He wanted to show it to his mom and dad. They put the diamond in their pocket and ran home. + +But on the way, they met a man. He looked upset and angry. He had a dirty coat and a big hat. He stopped them and said, "Hey, kids, give me that stone. It is mine. I lost it in the park. It is very important to me." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to give the diamond to the man. They thought he was lying. They thought he was a bad man who wanted to take their treasure. + +"Please, leave us alone," Ben said. "This is our stone. We found it fair and square. Go away!" + +The man did not go away. He grabbed Ben's pocket and tried to pull out the diamond. Ben screamed and kicked. Lily cried and bit. They fought hard, but the man was stronger. He took the diamond and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were very upset. They lost their sparkly stone. They lost their fun. They ran home and told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are so sorry, kids. That was a very mean man. He should not have taken your stone. But you are safe and we love you. That is what matters most." + +Lily and Ben felt a little better. They still wished they had the diamond, but they were glad they had each other. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with strangers. They learned to return things that are not theirs. They hoped the man would return the diamond too, or someone else would find it and be happy. +Anna likes to watch the birds in the garden. She sees big birds and small birds, red birds and blue birds, loud birds and quiet birds. She wants to touch them, but they fly away when she comes near. + +One day, she finds a bird on the ground.

She sees the bird stretch its neck and peck at the seeds. She smiles and thinks the bird likes her. She gives the bird a name. She calls it Brownie. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boat. They made a big lake with a blue sheet and some pillows. They put the boat on the lake and pretended to sail to faraway lands. + +One day, they found a green bottle in the garage. It had a label that said "lab". They did not know what it meant, but they thought it looked like a treasure. They decided to take it to their lake and see what was inside. + +They opened the bottle and poured some of the green liquid into the lake. Suddenly, the lake started to bubble and fizz. The boat began to move faster and faster. Ben and Lily were surprised and excited. + +"Wow, look at our boat!" Ben said. "It's sailing so fast!" + +"Maybe the green stuff is magic!" Lily said. "Maybe it can take us to a magic land!" + +They grabbed the bottle and ran to the boat. They climbed on board and held on tight. The boat sailed out of the lake and into the air. It flew over the house and the trees and the clouds. + +Ben and Lily laughed and cheered. They had a great adventure with their boat and the green lab bottle. They saw many wonderful things and had lots of fun. They never wanted to stop sailing. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they break their toys. Then they are sad. + +One day, Tom breaks his car. The wheel falls off. He cries and shows Mia. Mia says, "Don't cry, Tom. We can repair it. We have glue and tape. Come, I will help you." + +They go to their room and find glue and tape. They put glue on the wheel and stick it to the car. Then they wrap tape around it. They wait for it to dry. Then they test the car. It works! Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister. You fixed my car." + +Mia smiles and says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. You share your car with me. Do you want to paint it? We have paint and brushes. We can make it colorful." + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, let's paint it. We have red, blue, yellow and green. What color do you want?" + +Mia thinks and says, "I want yellow. Yellow is bright and sunny. What color do you want?" + +Tom thinks and says, "I want blue. Blue is cool and calm. Let's paint the car half yellow and half blue. Then it will be our car." + +They go to the table and find paint and brushes. They paint the car half yellow and half blue. They are careful not to spill the paint. They wait for it to dry. Then they admire the car. It looks beautiful! They are proud. They say, "We made our car. It is the best car ever." + +They play with the car for a while. They make noises and pretend to drive. They have fun. But soon they are sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They say, "We are tired. Let's go to bed." + +They put the car on the shelf and go to their bed. They hug each other and say, "Good night, Tom. Good night, Mia. I love you." + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of their car and their adventures. They are happy. +Tom loved to whistle. He whistled all day long. He whistled when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He whistled so much that he did not listen to anyone else. He did not hear his mom, his dad, his teacher, or his friends. He only heard his own voice. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big tree. It was very old and tall. It had many leaves and branches. Tom thought it was a good place to whistle. He ran to the tree and climbed up. He whistled louder and louder. He did not hear his mom calling him. He did not hear the wind blowing. He did not hear the birds singing. + +Suddenly, he heard a strange sound. It was a low and deep voice. It came from the tree. It said, "Stop whistling, little boy. You are hurting my ears. I am an ancient tree. I have lived for many years. I have seen and heard many things. But I have never heard such a noisy and rude whistle. You should respect me and the other creatures in the park. You should learn to be quiet and listen sometimes. You might hear something beautiful and wise." + +Tom was scared and surprised. He stopped whistling. He looked around. He saw his mom waving at him. He saw the wind moving the leaves. He saw the birds flying and singing. He realized that he had missed a lot of things by whistling all the time. He felt sorry for the tree and the other creatures. He said, "I'm sorry, ancient tree. I did not mean to hurt you or anyone else. I just liked to whistle. But you are right. I should respect you and the other creatures. I should be quiet and listen sometimes. Thank you for teaching me a lesson." + +He climbed down from the tree and ran to his mom. He hugged her and said, "I love you, mom. I'm sorry I did not hear you before. I was whistling too much. But I learned something today. I learned to be quiet and listen sometimes. There is a lot of beauty and wisdom in the park. There is even an ancient tree that can talk." + +His mom smiled and said, "I'm proud of you, Tom. You learned a valuable lesson. Whistling is fun, but listening is important too. You can whistle when you are happy, but you should also listen when someone is talking. You can whistle when you are alone, but you should also listen when you are with others. You can whistle when you are free, but you should also listen when you are in the park. You should respect the ancient tree and the other creatures. They have a lot to say and teach you." + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will whistle less and listen more. I will respect the ancient tree and the other creatures. I will enjoy the park and learn from it." + +They walked together in the park. Tom whistled softly and happily. He also listened carefully and respectfully. He heard the ancient tree whispering, "Well done, little boy. You have a good heart. Keep whistling and listening. You will grow up to be a wise and kind person." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to watch films. They had many films with animals, cars, and princesses. But their favorite film was about a fireman who rescued people and pets from fires. They watched it every day after lunch. + +One day, they saw a big smoke outside their window. They ran to the window and saw a fire in the house next door. They also saw a dog barking and a cat meowing on the roof. They were scared and sad for the animals. + +"Mom, mom, look!" they shouted. "There is a fire and a dog and a cat need help!" + +Mom came to the window and saw the fire too. She called 911 and told them to hurry. She also told Ben and Lily to stay away from the window and be calm. + +Soon, they heard a siren and saw a fire truck. A fireman got out and put on a helmet and a hose. He sprayed water on the fire and made it smaller. Then he climbed a ladder and went to the roof. He picked up the dog and the cat and brought them down. He gave them to their owner, who was very happy and thanked him. + +Ben and Lily clapped and cheered. They thought the fireman was very brave and kind. They wanted to be like him when they grew up. + +"Wow, that was like our film!" Ben said. + +"Yes, but real!" Lily said. + +They hugged mom and asked if they could watch their film again. + +"Maybe later, sweeties," mom said. "Now we need to rest and be thankful that everyone is safe." + +Ben and Lily nodded and cuddled with mom on the couch. They were not lazy, but they were tired and glad. They closed their eyes and dreamed of rescuing animals. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they hear a loud noise from the barn. They run to see what it is. + +They see a big tractor with a big plow. The tractor is making the noise. The plow is digging the ground. The tractor is moving fast. Spot is barking at the tractor. + +"Stop, tractor, stop!" Ben shouts. "You are hurting the ground!" + +"Go away, tractor, go away!" Lily cries. "You are scaring Spot!" + +But the tractor does not stop. The tractor does not go away. The tractor does not hear them. The tractor is too loud and too big. + +Ben and Lily try to get closer to the tractor. They want to make it stop. They are not afraid. They are brave. But they are also slow. They are too slow. + +The tractor does not see them. The tractor does not stop. The tractor hits them with the plow. Ben and Lily fall down. They are hurt. They are bleeding. They are not moving. + +Spot runs to them. He licks their faces. He whines. He is sad. He is alone. + +The end. +Lisa loved to smell the roses in her garden. She liked the red ones and the pink ones and the yellow ones. They smelled sweet and pretty. She wanted to pick one for her mommy. + +She saw a big red rose with many petals. She reached out her hand to grab it. But she felt something sharp poke her finger. Ouch! It hurt a lot. She saw a drop of red on her finger. She started to cry. + +"Lisa, what's wrong?" her mommy asked. She heard Lisa's cry and came to the garden. She saw Lisa holding her finger and the rose. + +"Mommy, the rose hurt me!" Lisa sobbed. "It has sharp things on it!" + +"Those are called thorns, honey. They are part of the rose. They protect the rose from animals that want to eat it. But they can also hurt people who touch them. You have to be careful when you pick roses. Let me see your finger." her mommy said. + +She took Lisa's finger and kissed it gently. She wrapped a band-aid around it. She hugged Lisa and wiped her tears. + +"I'm sorry, mommy. I wanted to give you the rose. It's so pretty." Lisa said. + +"It's okay, sweetie. I love the rose. And I love you more. You are so kind and thoughtful. Thank you for the rose. But next time, ask me to help you pick one. Or we can use scissors to cut it. That way, you won't get hurt by the thorns." her mommy said. + +"Okay, mommy. I will. Can I smell the rose?" Lisa asked. + +"Of course, you can. Here, smell it with me. It smells wonderful, doesn't it?" her mommy said. + +They smelled the rose together and smiled. Lisa felt better. She forgot about the sharp thorns. She only saw the beautiful rose. And she felt her mommy's love. She was happy. +Lily and Max were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys, and their snacks. They got in the car and drove to the big boat. The big boat would take them to the island. + +On the boat, Lily and Max saw many things. They saw the water, the birds, the fish, and the other people. They played with their toys and ate their snacks. They waved to the water, the birds, the fish, and the other people. They were very happy. + +But then, the boat stopped. Mom and Dad said there was a problem. They had to wait for a long time. Lily and Max got bored. They had no more toys and no more snacks. They could not wave to the water, the birds, the fish, and the other people. They were not happy. + +Lily and Max started to cry. They wanted to go to the island. They wanted to have fun. They did not want to wait. Mom and Dad tried to calm them down. They hugged them, kissed them, and told them stories. They were gentle and kind. But Lily and Max still cried. + +Then, the boat started to move again. Mom and Dad said the problem was fixed. They said they would be at the island soon. They said they would have fun. Lily and Max stopped crying. They smiled and clapped. They were happy again. + +They looked at the water, the birds, the fish, and the other people. They saw the island in the distance. It was big and green and beautiful. They saw the sand, the trees, the flowers, and the animals. They were excited. + +They got off the boat and ran to the island. They felt the sand, the trees, the flowers, and the animals. They played, explored, and laughed. They had fun. They did not frown. They were very happy. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, Sam had to move to a new house. He told Lila that he was going to a far away place. He said he would miss her a lot. Lila was very sad. She said she would miss him too. They hugged and said goodbye. + +Lila felt lonely without Sam. She did not want to play in the park anymore. She stayed at home and looked at the pictures of Sam. She wished he would come back soon. + +One day, she saw a new boy in the park. He was playing with a ball. He looked friendly. Lila wanted to make a new friend. She walked up to him and said hello. + +But the new boy was not nice. He said harsh words to Lila. He said he did not want to play with her. He said she was silly and ugly. He kicked his ball at her and made her fall. Lila was hurt and scared. She ran away and cried. + +She wished Sam was there. He would have helped her. He would have played with her. He would have been kind to her. She missed him more than ever. She hoped he would come back soon. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big, hairy dog in the field. The dog is running and jumping. Lily and Ben want to pet the dog. + +"Let's go to the dog!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the field. The dog sees them and barks. Lily and Ben stop. They are scared. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "We are nice. Can we pet you?" + +The dog wags his tail. He likes Lily and Ben. He runs to them and licks their faces. Lily and Ben laugh. They pet the dog's hairy fur. + +"You are a good dog!" Ben says. + +The dog barks again. He wants to play. He picks up a stick and drops it at Lily and Ben's feet. + +"Let's play fetch!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They throw the stick and the dog runs after it. They play for a long time. They have fun in the field with the hairy dog. +Sam was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. He heard his mom call him from downstairs. "Sam, come here, please. I need your help." + +Sam left his cars and ran down the stairs. He saw his mom holding a telephone in her hand. She looked worried and sad. "What's wrong, mom?" Sam asked. + +"Sam, I need you to be very brave and smart. The telephone is not working. I can't call anyone. And I don't feel well. I have a pain in my chest. I need to go to the hospital. But I don't know how to get there. Can you help me, Sam?" + +Sam felt scared and helpless. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to hug his mom and make her feel better. But he also wanted to find someone who could help them. He looked around the room. He saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of his dad. His dad was a firefighter. He wore a red hat and a yellow coat. He had a big smile on his face. + +Sam remembered that his dad had taught him something. He had taught him how to use the telephone to call for help. He had taught him to dial 9-1-1 and to tell them his name and address and what was wrong. He had taught him to stay calm and to listen to the voice on the other end. + +Sam blinked his eyes and took a deep breath. He took the telephone from his mom's hand. He pressed the buttons 9-1-1. He heard a beep and then a voice. "9-1-1, what is your emergency?" + +Sam spoke into the telephone. "Hello, my name is Sam. I need help. My mom is sick. She has a pain in her chest. We are at 123 Maple Street. Please come fast." + +"OK, Sam, you are doing great. Help is on the way. Stay on the line with me. How is your mom?" + +Sam looked at his mom. She was pale and sweaty. She was holding her chest. She was breathing hard. She smiled weakly at Sam. "I love you, Sam. You are my hero." + +Sam felt a tear roll down his cheek. He squeezed his mom's hand. He spoke into the telephone. "My mom is not good. She loves me. I love her. Please hurry." + +"Don't worry, Sam. We are almost there. You are very brave and smart. Your mom is lucky to have you. Can you hear the sirens?" + +Sam listened. He heard a loud noise outside. He heard a honk and a shout. He ran to the window. He saw a big red truck with a flashing light. He saw his dad get out of the truck. He wore his red hat and his yellow coat. He had a big smile on his face. + +Sam ran to the door. He opened it and shouted. "Dad, dad, you are here. Mom needs you. She is sick. I called 9-1-1. I did what you taught me." + +His dad ran to him and hugged him. He lifted him up and kissed him. He said. "Sam, you are amazing. You saved your mom's life. I am so proud of you. I love you, Sam. You are my hero." +Lily and Max were playing in the park. Lily had a hoop that she could roll on the ground and catch with a stick. Max had a ball that he could bounce and throw. They were having fun, but sometimes they looked at each other's toys and felt envious. + +"Can I try your hoop?" Max asked Lily. + +"OK, but only for a little while. Then you have to give it back," Lily said. + +Max took the hoop and the stick and tried to roll the hoop. But he was not very good at it. The hoop kept falling over and rolling away. Max got frustrated and threw the stick on the ground. + +"This is too hard. Your hoop is no fun," Max said. + +Lily noticed that Max was angry. She felt sorry for him, but she also wanted her hoop back. + +"Here, you can have your ball. I want my hoop," Lily said. + +She gave Max his ball and took her hoop and stick. She rolled the hoop and caught it with the stick. She was very good at it. She smiled and felt happy. + +Max noticed that Lily was happy. He felt sorry for himself, but he also wanted to have fun. + +"Can I play with you?" Max asked Lily. + +"OK, but you have to be nice. And you have to share," Lily said. + +Max nodded and smiled. He bounced his ball and threw it to Lily. Lily caught it and threw it back to Max. They played together and forgot about being envious. They were having fun. +Tim and his dog Rex like to play in the park. Rex is a big and strong dog, but he is very friendly. He likes to run and chase balls and sticks. Tim has a leash for Rex, but he only uses it when they cross the street or when there are many people around. + +One day, Tim and Rex see a big sack in the park. It is red and white and has a picture of a famous clown on it. Tim wonders what is inside the sack. He wants to open it and see. Rex is curious too. He sniffs the sack and wags his tail. + +"Hello, little boy and dog," a voice says from inside the sack. "Do you want to see a magic trick?" + +Tim and Rex are surprised. They look at the sack and see a small hole. A nose and an eye peek out of the hole. It is the clown from the picture. He is smiling and laughing. + +"Who are you?" Tim asks. "How did you get in the sack?" + +"I am Bobo, the famous clown," the voice says. "I am here to make you happy. I got in the sack with my magic wand. Do you want to see?" + +Tim and Rex nod. They like magic. They want to see what Bobo can do. + +"OK, then," Bobo says. "Watch closely. I will say the magic words and then I will come out of the sack. Ready? Here we go. Hocus pocus, alakazam, Bobo the clown is out of the sack!" + +Tim and Rex hear a loud pop. They see a flash of light and smoke. Then they see Bobo standing in front of them. He is wearing a colorful suit and a big hat. He has a red nose and a big smile. He is holding a magic wand and a bunch of balloons. + +"Ta-da!" Bobo says. "How do you like that?" + +Tim and Rex clap and cheer. They think Bobo is amazing. They want to see more magic tricks. Bobo is happy too. He likes to make people happy. He gives Tim and Rex a balloon each and says, "Come on, let's have some fun. I have more surprises for you in the park. Follow me!" + +Tim and Rex follow Bobo. They hold their balloons and their leash. They have a lot of fun with Bobo the famous clown. They see more magic tricks and jokes. They laugh and play. They have a wonderful day. +Sara and Tom are friends. They love to watch cartoons on TV. They like the same cartoons. They laugh and clap when they see funny things. + +One day, Sara is sick. She has a fever and a cough. She cannot go to school or play with Tom. She feels weak and sad. She misses Tom and the cartoons. + +Tom is sad too. He wants to see Sara and watch cartoons with her. He thinks of a way to make her happy. He draws a big card with a cartoon on it. He writes "I love you, Sara. Get well soon." He asks his mom to take him to Sara's house. + +Sara's mom opens the door. She sees Tom and his card. She smiles and says "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. Sara will be happy to see you and your card. Come in, please." + +Tom goes to Sara's room. He sees Sara in bed. She looks weak and tired. He gives her the card and a hug. He says "Hi, Sara. I love you. I made this card for you. It has a cartoon on it. Do you like it?" + +Sara looks at the card. She sees the cartoon. She smiles and says "I love it, Tom. Thank you. You are a good friend. You make me happy." + +Tom and Sara talk for a while. They tell each other about their favorite cartoons. They laugh and clap a little. Sara feels better. Tom feels happy. + +The moral of the story is: Love and friendship can make people happy and strong, even when they are sick or weak. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a shiny red car that they could push around. They also liked to look at the fireplace, where their dad sometimes made a fire when it was cold. + +One day, their mom told them to polish the fireplace with a cloth. She said it was dirty and needed to be clean. Sara and Tom agreed to help, but they also wanted to play with their car. They took turns polishing and pushing the car, but they were not careful. + +Soon, they bumped the car into a vase that was on the mantel. The vase was fragile and it broke into many pieces. Sara and Tom were scared and sad. They knew their mom liked the vase and it was a gift from their grandma. + +They heard their mom coming and they tried to hide the pieces. But their mom saw them and asked what happened. Sara and Tom told the truth and said they were sorry. They said they were polishing the fireplace but they also played with the car and broke the vase. + +Their mom was upset, but she was also glad that they were honest. She hugged them and said that the vase was not as important as they were. She said that they should be more careful with fragile things and not play near the fireplace. She said that polishing the fireplace was a good thing, but they should do it with attention and respect. + +Sara and Tom learned their lesson and said they would be more careful next time. They helped their mom clean up the mess and they finished polishing the fireplace. They also put their car away and played with other toys that were safer. They realized that playing and helping were both fun, but they had to do them the right way. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red fire truck parked near their house. They ran to see it and admire its shiny metal and loud siren. + +"Wow, this is so attractive!" Lila said. "I want to touch it and see how it works." + +"Me too!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Fire trucks are for helping people, not for playing." + +They looked around and saw no one near the fire truck. They decided to climb on it and explore. They found a hose, a ladder, and a helmet. They pretended to be firefighters and had fun. + +But they did not notice that the fire truck was still on and had a button that made it move. When Lila pressed the button by mistake, the fire truck started to roll forward. Lila and Ben screamed and held on tight. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We don't know how to stop it!" + +A real firefighter heard their cries and ran to the fire truck. He jumped on it and pressed another button that made it stop. He was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing here?" he asked. "This is very dangerous! You could have hurt yourselves or others!" + +Lila and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They apologized to the firefighter and got off the fire truck. + +"We were just curious and wanted to see it," Lila said. "We didn't mean to cause trouble." + +"Well, curiosity is good, but you have to be responsible and respectful," the firefighter said. "You have to trust the people who know how to use the fire truck and follow their rules. They are here to protect you and others from the heat and the smoke of the fire. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded and promised to never touch the fire truck again without permission. They thanked the firefighter and went back to their house. They learned a valuable lesson that day: trust is important for safety and friendship. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big pot with some dirt and plants in it. Lily wanted to see what was inside the pot, so she pulled it hard. But the pot was too heavy and it fell down. It broke into many pieces and some ash came out of it. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "We broke the pot! Mom will be angry!" + +Tom looked at the ash. He touched it with his finger. It was soft and gray. He said, "What is this? Is it bad?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "I don't know. Maybe it was from a fire. Maybe it was harmless. Maybe we can hide it." + +They tried to hide the ash and the broken pot under some leaves. But they did not do a good job. Mom came out and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. "Did you break the pot? Did you make this ash?" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were curious. We did not mean to break the pot. We did not know what the ash was." + +Mom sighed. She said, "The pot was very old. It belonged to your grandma. She used to keep some ashes from her fireplace in it. She said they were good for the plants. The ash was harmless, but the pot was precious. You should not have touched it. You should have asked me first." + +Lily and Tom said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will not touch your things again. Can we help you clean up?" + +Mom nodded. She said, "Yes, you can help me. But first, give me a hug. I love you, even when you make mistakes." +Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. They saw a big hill with many flowers on it. They wanted to pick some flowers to give to their moms. + +They ran up the hill and started to pull the flowers. But some flowers were tough and did not come out. Tim and Sue pulled harder and harder. They did not see that they were hurting the flowers and making them sad. + +A bee who lived in the flowers saw what they were doing. He was angry and flew to Tim and Sue. He buzzed in their ears and said, "Stop! You are being mean to the flowers. They are alive and they feel pain. You should not pick them without asking. You should be gentle and kind to them." + +Tim and Sue were scared of the bee. They dropped the flowers and ran down the hill. They felt sorry for what they did. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs and that they should respect all living things. They decided to lay some water on the flowers to make them happy again. They also said sorry to the bee and the flowers. The bee and the flowers forgave them and thanked them. Tim and Sue went home and told their moms what they learned. Their moms were proud of them and hugged them. +Sara liked to play in the garden with her mom. She liked to see the flowers and the bugs and the green things that grew. Mom said they were good to eat. Sara wanted to try them. + +One day, Sara saw a red thing in the dirt. It looked like a ball. She pulled it out and saw it had a long white tail. Mom said it was a radish. Sara wanted to taste it. She bit into it and made a face. It was spicy and bitter. She did not like it. She spit it out and threw it away. + +But the radish had a seed inside. The seed fell into Sara's mouth and got stuck in her throat. Sara started to cough and choke. She could not breathe. She felt scared and hurt. She tried to call mom, but no sound came out. Mom did not see her. She was busy with the other plants. + +Sara fell to the ground and turned blue. She suffered a lot. She could not see or hear or feel anything. She died. The radish killed her. Mom found her too late. She cried and cried. She was very sad and angry. She hated the radish. She wished she had never planted it. She wished Sara had never seen it. She wished Sara was still alive. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough. Mommy said she had to stay in bed and drink soup. Lily did not like soup. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. + +Mommy came to check on Lily. She had a thermometer in her hand. She said, "Lily, I need to see how hot you are. Open your mouth and let me put this in." Lily shook her head. She did not want the thermometer. It was cold and hard and tasted funny. She said, "No, Mommy, no!" + +Mommy looked sad. She said, "Lily, please, it will only take a minute. If you don't accept the thermometer, I won't know how to help you. Don't you want to feel better?" Lily felt ashamed. She knew Mommy loved her and wanted to help her. She nodded. She opened her mouth and let Mommy put the thermometer in. + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. The thermometer says you are very hot. You need to take some medicine and rest. I will bring you some juice and a book. Maybe later you can watch some TV." Lily smiled back. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you." Mommy hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You will be better soon." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Tom asks his mom. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. The slide is fast," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily run to the slide. They take turns to go down. Tom goes first. He slides down fast and laughs. He likes the slide. + +"Wow, that was fun!" he says. + +Lily goes next. She slides down fast too, but she does not laugh. She feels scared. She does not like the slide. + +"Help, help!" she cries. + +Tom hears Lily cry. He runs to her. He sees that she is sad. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" he asks. + +"I don't like the slide. It's too fast. I want to go home," Lily says. + +Tom hugs Lily. He wants to make her feel better. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you are scared. But you are brave. You tried the slide. I'm proud of you," he says. + +Lily smiles a little. She feels better. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," she says. + +Tom and Lily hold hands. They walk to their moms. They tell them what happened. + +"Good job, Tom and Lily. You are both brave and kind," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hug their moms. They have one more thing to do. + +"Can we have some ice cream, Mom?" they ask. + +"Yes, you can. But only if you share," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They share their ice cream. They enjoy their treat. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben love to play theater. They have a big box with costumes and props. They like to pretend they are different people and animals. Sometimes they invite their friends to watch their shows. + +One day, they decide to make a show about a tea party. Lily puts on a lovely dress and a hat. Ben wears a suit and a tie. They set up a table with cups and a teapot. They also have some cookies and cakes. + +"Welcome to our tea party!" Lily says to their friends. "Please sit down and enjoy the show." + +"Thank you, Lily. You look very pretty," one of their friends says. + +Ben picks up the teapot and pours some tea into Lily's cup. He is very careful not to spill. "Here you are, Lily. Some tea for you." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lily says. She takes a sip of the tea and makes a funny face. "Oh, this tea is very hot!" + +Ben laughs. "Don't worry, Lily. It will cool down soon. Do you want some cookies?" + +"Yes, please. They look very yummy," Lily says. She takes a cookie and bites it. "Mmm, this is very good!" + +Their friends clap and cheer. They think Lily and Ben are very good at playing theater. They want to join them and have some tea and cookies too. Lily and Ben are happy to share. They have a lot of fun together. +Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used a mop to stir the soup. They thought it was funny. + +"Look, Sue, I made a big soup with the mop!" Tom said. "Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you, Tom. That is not a good soup. That is a dirty mop. You should quit playing with it. It is not for cooking. It is for cleaning." Sue said. + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He liked his mop soup. He poured some in a cup and drank it. He made a face. It did not taste yummy. It tasted yucky. He felt sick. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Sue asked. She was worried. + +Tom did not answer. He ran to the bathroom. He threw up. He felt very bad. He wished he had quit playing with the mop. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But they do not like to share. They always want the same thing. + +One day, they see a new toy on the shelf. It is a delicate doll with a pretty dress and long hair. Anna and Ben both want the doll. They race to the shelf and try to grab it. They pull and tug and shout. + +"Mine!" Anna says. + +"No, mine!" Ben says. + +They are so rough that the doll breaks. The dress rips and the hair falls off. Anna and Ben stop and look at the doll. They feel sad and sorry. They broke the new toy. + +They look at each other and say, "I'm sorry." + +They hug and say, "I love you." + +They decide to share the doll and fix it. They find some glue and tape and scissors and ribbon. They work together and make the doll look nice again. They put it on the shelf and smile. They are happy and proud. They learned to share and care. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with trains. They have many trains and tracks in their room. They make big and small stations for their trains. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a real train station. They are very excited. They want to get on the train and see different places. + +"Mom, can we get on the train?" Lily asks. + +"Sorry, sweetie, we don't have tickets. We can only watch the train from here," Mom says. + +"But I want to see different things!" Ben says. + +"I know, honey, but we can see different things in other ways. We can read books, or draw pictures, or talk to new people. We don't need a train to learn and have fun," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben think about what Mom says. They realize she is right. They can use their imagination and curiosity to explore the world. They hug Mom and say thank you. + +They watch the train leave the station. They wave to the people on the train. They smile and say, "Maybe one day we will get on the train and see different places. But today we are happy to be here with Mom and our trains." +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily had a wooden spoon and Ben had a plastic knife. They chopped and stirred and tasted their dishes. + +"Mom, can we have some cheese for our pizza?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to wait a little bit. I'm busy with the laundry. Don't touch the real knives, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom, we won't touch them. We have our own knife," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben waited for Mom to bring the cheese. They looked at the real knives on the counter. They were shiny and sharp. They wondered how they felt. + +"Let's see one, just for a second," Ben said. + +"No, Ben, Mom said no. We have to listen to her. She will be mad if we touch them," Lily said. + +"But I'm curious. I just want to look. It won't hurt," Ben said. + +He reached for the smallest knife. He grabbed the handle and lifted it up. It was heavier than he thought. He lost his balance and dropped the knife. It fell on his foot and cut him. He screamed. + +Mom heard the scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw the blood and the knife. She was scared and angry. + +"Ben, what did you do? Why did you touch the knife? You could have hurt yourself badly. You are very naughty," Mom said. + +She picked up Ben and wrapped his foot with a cloth. She took him to the car and drove to the doctor. Lily followed them. She was sad and sorry. + +The doctor cleaned and bandaged Ben's foot. He said it was not a big cut, but it needed to heal. He gave Ben a sticker and a lollipop. He told him to be careful with knives. + +"Thank you, doctor. I'm sorry I touched the knife. I won't do it again. It hurt a lot," Ben said. + +Mom hugged Ben and kissed his cheek. She said she was glad he was okay. She said she loved him, but he had to follow the rules. She said they would go home and have pizza later. + +Lily hugged Ben too. She said she was sorry he got hurt. She said she was his friend. She said they would play with their toys, not with knives. + +Ben smiled and said he was sorry too. He said he was her friend. He said they would have a great pizza. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would never touch a knife again. +Tom and Mia liked to play pirates in the kitchen. They wore hats and eye patches and pretended to sail on a big ship. They used spoons and pots and pans to make noise and stir their treasure. + +One day, they found a new treasure in the cupboard. It was a jar of honey. Tom wanted to taste it, but Mia said no. + +"That is not for pirates, that is for bears," she said. "We have to find something else." + +But Tom was persistent. He did not listen to Mia. He reached for the jar and opened it. He dipped his spoon in the honey and licked it. It was sweet and sticky. + +"Yum, this is the best treasure ever," he said. "You should try it, Mia." + +Mia shook her head. She did not want to eat the honey. She wanted to play pirates. She was angry at Tom for breaking the rules. + +"Tom, you are a bad pirate," she said. "You are not sharing and you are not playing. You are just eating honey. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She grabbed her hat and eye patch and ran out of the kitchen. Tom was sad. He did not mean to upset Mia. He liked playing pirates with her. He put down his spoon and followed her. + +"Mia, wait," he said. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Can we play pirates again?" + +Mia stopped and looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She liked playing pirates with Tom. She smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, Tom," she said. "But you have to share the honey. And you have to stir it with me. That's how pirates do it." + +Tom smiled and nodded. He hugged Mia and said sorry again. They went back to the kitchen and stirred the honey together. They played pirates and had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were twins who loved to act. They liked to play different roles and make up stories. Sometimes they used costumes and props from their toy box. They had a theater in their basement, where they put on shows for their family and friends. + +One day, they decided to act out a story about a mighty king and a brave knight. Tom was the king and Sue was the knight. They wore crowns and swords and capes. They had a lot of fun pretending to fight dragons and save princesses. + +But then, Tom wanted to change the story. He said, "I don't want to be the king anymore. I want to be the dragon. And you have to be the princess who needs my help." + +Sue did not like that. She said, "No, I want to be the knight. I like to fight and rescue. I don't want to be the princess who waits and cries." + +Tom and Sue started to argue. They raised their voices and stomped their feet. They did not listen to each other. They both wanted to have their own way. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the basement. She saw them fighting and said, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Tom and Sue told their mom what happened. They both said, "It's not fair. He/she wants to change the story. He/she won't let me be what I want to be." + +Their mom said, "I understand that you both have different ideas. But you have to learn to compromise and share. Acting is not fun if you don't work together. Maybe you can take turns being the king, the knight, the dragon, and the princess. Or maybe you can make up a new story that has all of them. Or maybe you can quit acting for today and do something else." + +Tom and Sue thought about what their mom said. They realized that they were being selfish and rude. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Tom/Sue. We don't want to quit acting. We want to have fun. Can we try again?" + +Their mom said, "Of course you can. I'm glad you apologized and made up. Now, let's see your show. I'm sure it will be wonderful." + +Tom and Sue hugged their mom and each other. They went back to their theater and started to act again. They listened to each other and agreed on the story. They had a lot of fun and made their mom proud. They learned that acting is more fun when you cooperate and respect. They were mighty actors and happy twins. +Jill and Ben were friends who liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. One day, they found a big navy boat in the park. It was blue and shiny and had a flag on it. + +"Wow, look at this boat!" Jill said. "It is so pretty and cool. Can we play with it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked the boat too. But he was nervous. He saw a sign that said "Do not touch". He thought the boat belonged to someone else. + +"Jill, I don't think we should play with this boat," Ben said. "The sign says no. Maybe the boat is not for us. Maybe someone will be angry if we touch it." + +Jill disagreed. She did not care about the sign. She wanted to play with the boat. She thought it was for everyone. + +"Ben, don't be silly," Jill said. "The sign is wrong. The boat is for us. No one will be angry. Come on, let's have fun." + +She grabbed the boat and pulled it. Ben followed her. He did not want to lose his friend. He hoped no one would see them. + +They took the boat to the pond and put it in the water. They made it sail and splash. They laughed and cheered. They had a lot of fun. + +But they did not see the man who was watching them. He was the owner of the boat. He was very angry. He had made the boat himself. He had put the sign to protect it. He did not like children who did not listen. + +He walked to the pond and shouted at them. "Hey, you two! What are you doing with my boat? Give it back to me right now!" + +Jill and Ben were scared. They did not expect the man. They did not know what to do. They tried to get the boat back. But it was too late. The man reached the boat first. He grabbed it and lifted it. He was so mad that he threw it on the ground. The boat broke into pieces. + +Jill and Ben cried. They saw the boat they liked so much. It was ruined. They felt sorry and sad. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had not played with the boat. They learned a hard lesson. They had to say sorry to the man.

They like to make patterns with the colors. + +One day, Sara has a cold. She sneezes a lot. She sneezes on the blocks. She does not cover her mouth. Ben sees this and says, "Sara, you should cover your mouth when you sneeze. You can make the blocks dirty. You can make me sick too." + +Sara says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I forgot to cover my mouth. I don't want to make you sick. I don't want to make the blocks dirty. I like the blocks. They are fun and pretty." + +Ben says, "It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. But you should be careful when you sneeze. You should use a tissue or your elbow. That is good manners. That is how you show respect to others and to yourself." + +Sara says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You teach me good things. I will use a tissue or my elbow when I sneeze. I will show respect to others and to myself. I will also wash my hands and the blocks. I want to be healthy and clean." + +Ben says, "You're welcome, Sara. You are a good friend too. You listen and learn. You want to be healthy and clean. That is good for you and for me. Let's wash our hands and the blocks. Then we can play with them again. We can make more patterns with the colors." + +Sara and Ben wash their hands and the blocks. They play with them again.

She liked to smile at everyone she met, even the people who looked sad or angry. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy sitting on a bench by himself. He did not smile. He looked lonely and bored. Lily wanted to make him happy, so she walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy looked up at her and frowned. He said, "No, I don't. Go away. You're too loud and silly." + +Lily felt hurt by his words, but she did not cry. She said, "I'm sorry you feel that way. I just wanted to be your friend. Maybe you would feel better if you smiled more. Smiling is good for you. It makes you feel happy and warm inside." + +The boy was surprised by Lily's words. He had never heard anyone say that before. He wondered if she was right. He looked at her smile and felt a strange feeling in his chest. He said, "Really? How do you know that?" + +Lily said, "I know because my mom told me. She said smiling is a gift that we can give to ourselves and others. She said smiling can make the world a better place. She said smiling is what makes me lovely." + +The boy thought about Lily's mom's words. He thought they sounded nice and true. He decided to try smiling for the first time in a long time. He said, "Okay, I'll try. Like this?" He lifted the corners of his mouth and showed his teeth. + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yes, like that! You did it! You smiled! And you know what? You look lovely too!" + +The boy felt a warm and happy feeling inside. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You're very kind. Do you still want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Of course I do! Come on, let's go to the swings!" + +The boy got up from the bench and followed Lily to the swings. They played and laughed and smiled together. They became friends. And they both felt lovely. +Lily was a new pupil at the big school. She felt scared and alone. She did not know anyone. She saw many children playing and talking, but they did not see her. + +Then she saw a boy with a gray hat. He was sitting by himself on a bench. He looked sad and bored. Lily walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" + +The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I am Max. I am new here too. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Do you want to play with me?" + +Max nodded and said, "Yes, I do. What do you like to play?" + +Lily and Max found out that they liked the same things. They liked to draw, to sing, to run, and to laugh. They played together all day. They had fun and forgot their fears. + +The other children saw them and wanted to join them. They said, "Hi, we are sorry we did not see you before. You look nice and happy. Can we play with you too?" + +Lily and Max welcomed them and said, "Yes, you can. We are happy to have more friends. What are your names?" + +The other children told them their names and they all played together. They shared their toys, their stories, and their snacks. They learned from each other and helped each other. They became a big and friendly group. + +Lily and Max were glad that they met each other. They learned that being new is not so bad. They learned that being kind and brave can make new friends. They learned that being different is not a problem. They learned that being gray is not boring. They learned that being a pupil is fun. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Anna had a doll that she called Lily, and Ben had a car that he called Zoom. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud sound from the kitchen. It sounded like water splashing on the floor. They ran to see what it was. They saw that the sink was leaking. A lot of water was coming out of the pipe and making a big puddle. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "The sink is broken! We have to tell Mommy!" + +But Mommy was not at home. She had gone to the store to buy some milk and cookies. She had told them to be good and not to touch anything in the kitchen. + +Ben looked at the leak. He was frightened. He thought that the water would flood the whole house. He wanted Mommy to come back soon. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Anna said. She was brave. She wanted to help. She grabbed a towel from the counter and tried to wipe the water. But the towel was too small and the water was too much. It did not work. + +"Stop, Anna!" Ben said. "You can't fix it! You will make it worse! You will get wet and dirty!" + +Anna did not listen. She kept wiping the water. She thought that she was doing a good job. She did not notice that the towel was dripping and that her clothes were soaked. + +"Anna, stop!" Ben said again. He was angry. He grabbed the towel from her and threw it on the floor. "You are silly! You don't know anything!" + +Anna was hurt. She did not like Ben's words. She started to cry. She dropped her doll and ran to the couch. She hid under a blanket and sobbed. + +Ben felt bad. He did not mean to make Anna cry. He loved his sister. He wanted to make her happy. He picked up her doll and walked to the couch. He lifted the blanket and saw her face. She had tears and water on her cheeks. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I was scared. I did not want the water to hurt us. I did not want to be mean to you." + +He gave her the doll and hugged her. He wiped her tears with his sleeve. He smiled at her. + +"It's okay, Ben," Anna said. She hugged him back. She smiled at him. "I was scared too. I did not want the sink to be broken. I did not want to be wet and dirty." + +They sat on the couch and cuddled with their toys. They waited for Mommy to come back. They hoped that she would bring some milk and cookies. They hoped that she would fix the leak. They hoped that she would be proud of them. They were good. They were brave. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were going to play outside in the snow. But it was a gloomy day and the sky was gray. Lily put on her pink coat and her red boots. Ben put on his blue coat and his green boots. They both put on their mittens, too. + +"Let's make a snowman!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran outside and started to roll big balls of snow. They put one ball on top of another to make the body. They put a carrot for the nose, two buttons for the eyes, and a scarf for the neck. They looked for a hat, but they could not find one. + +"Where is the hat?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we left it inside." + +They went back to the door and opened it. But they saw something that made them stop. Their cat, Fluffy, was sitting on the couch with the hat on her head. She looked very cozy and happy. + +"Fluffy!" Lily said. "That's our hat!" + +"Meow!" Fluffy said. + +Lily and Ben laughed. They decided to let Fluffy keep the hat. They went outside again and put a mitten on the snowman's head instead. They thought he looked very funny and cute. They played with him until it was time to go inside. They gave him a hug and said goodbye. They hoped he would not melt. +Sara was sad. It was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and the rain was falling. She could not go outside and play with her friends. She looked out the window and saw a bug on the glass. The bug had six legs and a shiny shell. It was crawling up and down, left and right. + +"Hello, bug," Sara said. "Why are you here? Are you not cold and wet?" + +The bug stopped and looked at Sara. It made a tiny noise, like a beep. Sara leaned closer and listened. + +"I am here to work," the bug said. "I am looking for food and a home. I do not mind the rain. It helps me find things." + +"What kind of things?" Sara asked. + +"Leaves, seeds, wood, and other bugs," the bug said. "I can eat them or use them to make a nest. I have a big family. We work together and help each other." + +Sara smiled. She thought the bug was smart and brave. She wanted to help it too. + +"Can I give you some food?" she asked. "I have some bread and cheese in the kitchen. Maybe you can share it with your family." + +The bug nodded. It made another beep, like a thank you. Sara ran to the kitchen and came back with a small piece of bread and cheese. She put it on the windowsill, near the bug. + +"Here you go," she said. "I hope you like it." + +The bug crawled to the food and nibbled on it. It was tasty and filling. It waved its antennae at Sara, like a hello. + +"You are very kind," the bug said. "You made my day less gloomy. Maybe we can be friends." + +Sara nodded. She felt happy. She had made a new friend. + +"Yes, we can be friends," she said. "And maybe tomorrow, the sun will come out and we can play together." + +The bug agreed. It made a beep, like a yes.

They had a bucket and a spade each, and they made castles and hills and holes. They had fun and shared their toys. + +But one day, a new boy came to the sandpit. His name was Ben, and he was lazy. He did not have any toys of his own, and he did not want to play with Lily and Tom. He only wanted to take their toys and break their sand creations. + +"Give me your bucket!" he said to Lily, and he snatched it from her hands. He poured out the sand and threw the bucket away. Lily was sad and angry. + +"Give me your spade!" he said to Tom, and he grabbed it from his hands. He used it to smash Tom's castle and hit his hill.

He hoped Sara would be sorry. + +Sara finished repairing her car. She was happy. She wanted to play with her teddy bear. She went to her dollhouse and picked it up. She felt something wrong.

She did not know what happened. + +Spotty watched Sara run away. He was glad. He thought he taught her a lesson. He went back to his web and waited for flies. He did not care about Sara or her toys.

But steak was also hard to cut. They needed a knife to cut steak. A knife was a tool with a sharp edge. Sharp meant it could hurt you if you touched it. + +One day, Mom cooked steak for dinner. She gave Tom and Sam each a plate with steak and vegetables. She also gave them each a knife and a fork. A fork was another tool with four points. She said, "Be careful with the knife, boys.

You are being rude and noisy. You are also wasting your steak. You are making it too small and dry. And you are not using your fork.

I am making it easier to eat. And I don't need a fork. I can use my fingers. See?" + +Sam picked up a piece of steak with his fingers and put it in his mouth. But the steak was too hot and too dry. It burned his tongue and made him cough. He spit out the steak and cried. He dropped his knife on the floor. The knife was very sharp. It cut his foot and made him bleed. He cried louder. + +Mom ran to Sam and hugged him. She said, "Oh, Sam. I'm sorry. You are hurt. Let me help you." She took him to the bathroom and cleaned his wound. She put a bandage on his foot. She gave him some water and a hug. She said, "Sam, you should have listened to me. I told you to be careful with the knife. It is very sharp. It can hurt you or someone else. You should also use your fork and eat your steak slowly. It is better for you and more polite. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you. I love you, Sam. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, listen to me and be more careful and respectful. OK?" + +Sam said, "OK, Mom. I love you too. Can I have some more steak?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But only if you use your knife and fork and eat it slowly. And only if you say sorry to Tom and share your steak with him. He ate his steak nicely and he is still hungry." + +Sam said, "OK, Mom. I'm sorry, Tom. Do you want some of my steak?" + +Tom said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Sam. That's very kind of you." + +Mom said, "That's better. Now, let's go back to the table and finish our dinner.

It was the bird's voice, mixed with the guitar and the songs. She followed the sound and found the musician and the cage. She was very happy to see the bird, but she was also very upset with the musician. + +She said to him, "How could you take my bird? He is not yours, he is mine. You are very ignorant and selfish. You do not care about the bird's feelings or mine. You only care about yourself and your music. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +The musician was surprised and ashamed. He realized that he had done a bad thing. He did not know how to say sorry, so he gave the cage back to the old lady. He hoped that she and the bird would forgive him. + +The old lady and the bird were very happy to be together again. They thanked the musician for returning the cage, and they invited him to join them for tea. The musician accepted the invitation, and he learned to be more kind and respectful.

She said she would give them a reward if they were good. + +But Jill and Ben were bored and curious. They saw a shiny red car parked on the other side of the road. They wanted to see it up close. They whispered to each other that they would be quick and careful. They told Spot to stay and watch for mom. + +They ran across the road without looking.

He looked at the lady and the bag. He saw that the lady was not smiling anymore. She was angry. She grabbed his ear and tried to pull him into the car. + +"Let me go, let me go," Ben cried.

That hurt!" + +Tim said, "I pinched you to save you. You could have cut yourself with the knife. Look, your arm is pale. You are lucky you did not bleed." + +Jen looked at her arm.

She thought they were adorable. She hugged them and said, "It is okay. I know you were curious. But the freezer is not a place to play. It is very cold and you could get hurt. And the food is not for fun. It is for eating. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Lily and Ben said. + +Mommy helped them clean up the peas. She gave them a warm blanket and a glass of juice. She told them a story about a penguin who lived in the snow and met a polar bear. Lily and Ben listened and learned. They liked the story. They liked the freezer. But they liked Mommy more. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a big van on the street. The van has many pictures of candy and ice cream on it.

You can have as much as you want." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They follow the man into the van. The man closes the door behind them. + +The van starts to move. Lily and Ben look around. They do not see any candy or ice cream. They only see boxes and bags and ropes. + +"Where are the yummy things?" Lily asks. + +"There are no yummy things," the man says. "I lied to you. I am taking you far away. You will never see your parents or your home again." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They cry and scream. They want to go back. But the man does not listen. He drives the van faster and faster. + +Lily and Ben wish they did not go to the van. They wish they stayed with their parents. They wish they could wake up from this bad dream. But it is not a dream. It is real. And it is too late. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. But she had to be careful, because the stove was very hot and could hurt her. + +One day, Anna saw a shiny red pot on the stove. It looked very attractive to her. She wanted to touch it and see what was inside. She forgot what her mom had told her many times. + +"Anna, don't go near the stove, it's very hot and dangerous. You could burn yourself or spill something. Wait for me to finish cooking, okay?" her mom would remind her. + +But Anna did not listen. She reached for the pot and grabbed the handle. It was very hot and burned her hand. She screamed and let go of the pot. The soup spilled all over the stove and the floor. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw what had happened and was very scared and angry. She turned off the stove and grabbed a towel. She wrapped Anna's hand in the towel and hugged her. + +"Anna, what did you do?

Do you understand?" her mom said. + +Anna was crying and sorry. She felt the pain in her hand and the mess she had made. She nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the pot. It was attractive. I forgot what you said. I won't do it again. I love you, mom." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to be more careful and obey me. The stove is not a toy. It's for cooking. Next time, ask me before you touch anything. Okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. Can I still help you in the kitchen?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But only with the things that are not hot. And you have to be very careful. Can you do that?" + +Anna said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. Thank you, mom." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Anna. Now let's clean up this mess and make some more soup. And then we can have a nice lunch together. How does that sound?" + +Anna said, "That sounds good, mom. I'm hungry. And I'm sorry." + +Her mom said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But don't forget what I remind you. The stove is hot and dangerous. Okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I won't forget. I promise." +Tim and Sam are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. But today, Tim is not happy. He has to lead the classroom to the gym. He does not like to lead. He is shy and scared. + +"Come on, Tim. You can do it. It is fun to lead," Sam says. He tries to help Tim. He is a good friend. + +But Tim shakes his head. He does not want to go. He wants to stay in the classroom. He thinks the gym is weird. It is big and loud and has many things to do. He does not know what to do. + +"Please, Tim. Don't be sad. The gym is not weird. It is fun. You can run and jump and play. You can show the classroom how to do it. You are good at it," Sam says. He smiles and holds Tim's hand. + +Tim looks at Sam. He sees that Sam is happy and kind. He trusts Sam. He decides to try.

Mom makes them a big mug of hot cocoa. She says, "This is original cocoa. It is very yummy. You can share it." + +Lily and Ben sit on the couch. They each hold a side of the mug. They sip the cocoa. It is sweet and warm. They smile. But then, Lily wants more. She pulls the mug to her side. She says, "I want more cocoa. It is mine." + +Ben is angry. He pulls the mug to his side.

He yelled at them and said "What are you doing? You could have killed me! That was a very bad thing to do!" + +Tim and Kim were shocked and sorry. They did not mean to hurt the driver or his car. They thought it was just a game. They dropped the gun and ran to the driver. They said "We are sorry, mister. We did not know. We just wanted to play. Please don't be mad at us." + +The driver saw that Tim and Kim were just kids who made a mistake. He calmed down and said "I know you did not know, but you have to be careful. You should not shoot at people or cars. You could cause a lot of damage or injury. You should only use the gun for fun and safe things, like shooting at cans or bottles. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Kim nodded and said "Yes, we understand. We will not do it again. We will only use the gun for fun and safe things. We are sorry for your car and your pain. Can we help you fix it?" + +The driver smiled and said "Thank you for your apology and your offer. I appreciate it. But you don't have to worry about my car or my pain. They are not too bad. I can fix them myself. The most important thing is that you learned your lesson and you will be more responsible. That is what makes me happy." + +Tim and Kim hugged the driver and said "Thank you, mister. You are very kind and forgiving. We learned our lesson and we will be more responsible. We hope you have a good day." + +The driver hugged them back and said "You are welcome, kids. You are very sweet and honest. I hope you have a good day too. And remember, always be careful and respectful when you play with your toys." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the moral value of being careful and respectful when playing with toys, especially those that can cause harm or damage. It also shows the importance of apologizing and offering help when making a mistake, and of being kind and forgiving when someone is sorry. +Mia and Ben were playing a game with cards. They had to match the cards with the same picture. Mia had a lot of cards, but Ben only had a few. He wanted to win the game. + +"Look, I have a card with a kitten!" Mia said, showing Ben her card. "It is a shy kitten. It hides under the sofa. Do you have a card with a kitten?" + +Ben looked at his cards. He did not have a card with a kitten. He had a card with a dog, a card with a bird, and a card with a fish. He liked the card with the fish. It was a blue fish. It swam in the water. + +"No, I don't have a card with a kitten," Ben said. "But I have a card with a fish. It is a blue fish. It is not shy. It likes to swim." + +Mia and Ben looked for another card with a fish or a kitten. They could not find one. They had to pick a new card from the pile. Mia picked a card with a flower. Ben picked a card with a star. + +"Wow, I have a card with a star!" Ben said, smiling. "It is a bright star. It shines in the night. Do you have a card with a star?" + +Mia looked at her cards. She did not have a card with a star. She had a card with a flower, a card with a kitten, and a card with a ball.

They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The rocks are sharp and the flowers have bees," Lily said. + +They started to climb the hill, holding hands. They saw a group of birds flying in the sky. They heard a group of dogs barking in the distance. They felt the sun shining on their faces. + +They were almost at the top of the hill when Tom stumbled on a rock. He fell down and scraped his knee. He cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his knee. She took a dry leaf from the ground and pressed it on his wound. + +"Shh, shh, shh. It's OK, Tom. I'm here. The leaf will help. It will stop the blood," Lily said. + +Tom stopped crying and looked at Lily. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are brave and kind." + +Lily smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are fun and smart." + +They held hands again and walked down the hill.

Sara had a laser that made bright lights and sounds. Ben had a car that could move by itself. They were having fun until Sara wanted to try Ben's car. + +"Can I play with your car, Ben?" Sara asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your laser," Ben said. + +"But I want to play with your car too. It looks fun. Please, Ben," Sara begged. + +"No, Sara. Go away. You can't have my car," Ben refused. + +Sara felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was not fair. She wanted to make him sorry. She pointed her laser at Ben's car and pressed the button. The laser hit the car and made a loud noise. The car stopped moving and started to smoke. + +"Hey, what did you do? You broke my car!" Ben shouted. + +"I don't care. You were mean to me. You didn't share your car," Sara said. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken car and the laser. She was not happy. + +"Sara, Ben, what happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Sara broke my car with her laser. She was bad," Ben said. + +"Ben didn't let me play with his car. He was bad," Sara said. + +Mom sighed. She took the laser and the car and put them away. + +"Both of you were bad. Sara, you should not break other people's things. That is not nice. Ben, you should share your things with your sister. That is not nice either. You need to learn to play together and be fair. No more toys for today. Go to your rooms and think about what you did," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They wished they had played nicely and shared their toys. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry.

"It is so shiny and long!" + +"It is like a big star with a tail!" Lily said. "Do you think it is going somewhere?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it is visiting other stars and planets," Tom said. "It is so cool!" + +They watched the comet until it disappeared behind the clouds. They felt happy and amazed. + +The next night, they wanted to see the comet again. But they could not find it in the sky. They looked and looked, but it was gone. + +"Where is the comet?" Lily asked. "Did it go away?" + +"Maybe it did," Tom said. "Or maybe it is hiding behind the clouds. Or maybe it is too far to see." + +They felt sad and curious. + +They asked their mom about the comet. She told them that comets are very rare and special. They only come once in a long time. She said that they were lucky to see one. + +"Will we ever see the comet again?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe, maybe not," mom said. "But you can always remember it in your mind and in your heart. It was a beautiful gift from the sky." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They went to bed and dreamed of the comet. They remembered how it looked and how it made them feel. They hoped to see it again someday. +Sara and Ben were eager to help Mom bake a cake. They put on their aprons and washed their hands. Mom gave them a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "We need to mix some powder, some eggs, some milk and some butter. Can you help me?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They took turns to pour the powder into the bowl. The powder was white and soft. It looked like snow. They stirred the powder with the spoon. It made a funny sound. Sara said, "Shh, shh, shh." Ben said, "Swish, swish, swish." + +Then Mom cracked some eggs and added them to the bowl. She asked Sara and Ben to stir again. The eggs made the powder wet and sticky. It looked like glue. They stirred harder and harder. Sara said, "Mix, mix, mix." Ben said, "Whisk, whisk, whisk." + +Next, Mom poured some milk and some butter into the bowl. She said, "This will make the cake moist and yummy. Can you stir one more time?"

Ben said, "Yum, yum, yum." + +Mom smiled and said, "You did a great job, Sara and Ben. You are very good helpers. Now we need to put the cake in the oven and wait for it to bake. Do you want to lick the spoon?" Sara and Ben said, "Yes, please!" They licked the spoon and tasted the cake. It was sweet and delicious. They said, "Thank you, Mom!" Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. I love you very much." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. He has a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Let's ask the owner first," Tom says. They see a man sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. He has a leash in his hand. + +"Excuse me, sir," Tom says. "Can we pet your dog?" + +The man looks up and smiles. "Sure, you can," he says. "His name is Rex.

He wags his tail. + +"Thank you, Rex," Tom and Lily say. + +"Thank you, sir," they say to the man. + +"You're welcome," the man says. "Rex likes to make new friends. He thinks you are very nice." + +Tom and Lily smile. They hug Rex. They say goodbye to him and the man. They go back to play in the park. They are happy. They think Rex is a wonderful dog. They think his biscuit is delicious. +Tim and Tom were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box in the garage and decided to make it into a jungle. They cut out some leaves and vines from paper and taped them to the box. They also drew some animals on the paper and stuck them to the box. They had a lion, a monkey, a snake, and a tiger. + +"Let's invite Sam to play with us," Tim said. "He likes jungle animals too." + +"Okay, but we have to scare him first," Tom said. "We can hide behind the box and jump out when he comes." + +They called Sam on the phone and asked him to come over. Sam was their friend who lived next door. He was very curious and brave. He said he would come right away. + +When Sam arrived, he saw the big box with the jungle decorations. He thought it looked very fun and cool. He walked closer to the box and looked at the animals. He saw the lion, the monkey, the snake, and the tiger. + +"Wow, these are awesome," he said. "Did you make them?" + +Suddenly, Tim and Tom jumped out from behind the box and roared loudly. They wanted to scare Sam and make him run away. They thought it was funny. + +But Sam was not scared. He was angry. He saw that Tim and Tom were wearing fake masks and claws. He felt that they were mean and rude. He did not like their prank. + +"Hey, that's not nice," he said. "You invited me to play, not to scare me. You are not good friends. You are bad friends." + +He turned around and walked away. He did not want to play with Tim and Tom anymore. He went back to his house and played with his own toys. + +Tim and Tom felt sorry. They realized that they had hurt Sam's feelings. They had lost a friend because of their silly joke. They wished they had been kinder and more respectful. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play tricks on your friends. It is not funny. It is mean. You should treat your friends the way you want to be treated. +Sara and Ben are twins. They have a birthday today. Mom makes a big cake for them. It has pink and blue frosting and candles. Sara and Ben are happy. + +They invite their friends to come and play. They have balloons and toys and games. They have fun. Mom says it is time for cake. Sara and Ben stand next to the cake.

But Ben blows too hard. He blows the cake off the table. The cake falls on the floor. It breaks into pieces. The frosting and candles go everywhere. + +The friends laugh. They point at Ben. They say, "Ha ha, Ben ruined the cake! He is silly and clumsy!" Ben feels embarrassed. He starts to cry. He runs to his room. He slams the door. + +Mom is angry. She says, "Ben, what did you do?

Why are you sad?" + +Tom and Mia tell her about the dog and the ball. The lady says, "Oh, I'm sorry. That was my dog. He likes to play, but he doesn't know how to share. I have your ball here. He dropped it in my basket. Do you want it back?" + +Tom and Mia nod and smile. They say, "Yes, please. Thank you, lady. You are very kind." + +The lady gives them the ball. She also gives them some cookies and juice. She says, "Here, have some snacks. They are warm and yummy. And you can play with my dog, if you want. He is friendly, but he needs to learn some manners." + +Tom and Mia say, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. We like your dog, too. Can we pet him?" + +The lady says, "Of course. His name is Rex. He likes to be petted. He will wag his tail and lick your foot." + +Tom and Mia laugh and pet Rex. Rex wags his tail and licks their foot. They share their snacks with him. They are happy again. They play with the ball and the kite and the dog. They have fun. +Sara loved to play chess with her dad. She learned how to move the pieces and how to say "checkmate". She thought chess was fun and smart. She wanted to join the chess club at school and play with other kids. + +But when she went to the club, she saw that all the kids were older and bigger than her. They looked at her and laughed. They said she was too small and too silly to play chess. They said chess was only for big kids and boys. They made Sara feel sad and scared. + +Then she saw Ben. Ben was in her class and he was very nice and charming. He always smiled and helped her with her puzzles. He also liked chess and he was very good at it. He saw Sara and he came to her. He said, "Hi, Sara. Do you want to play chess with me? I think you are very smart and brave. Don't listen to those mean kids. Chess is for everyone who loves it." + +Sara smiled and nodded.

He used clips and hats and ribbons to change his look. He had fun with his hair every day. + +But one day, his mom said he had to go to the barber. She said his hair was too long and he needed a cut. Sam did not want to go to the barber. He liked his hair the way it was. He said no to his mom and ran away. + +His mom chased him around the house. She said, "Sam, come back! You have to go to the barber! It will be quick and easy, I promise!" But Sam did not listen. He hid under the bed, behind the couch, and in the closet. He did not want to go to the barber. + +Then, he heard a loud noise outside. He looked out the window and saw a big red truck with a siren and a hose. It was a fire truck! Sam loved fire trucks. He wanted to see it up close. He forgot about the barber and ran outside. + +His mom saw him rush out the door. She was alert and followed him. She said, "Sam, wait! It's not safe to run outside like that! You have to stay with me!" But Sam did not hear her. He was too excited by the fire truck. + +He ran to the street and waved at the firemen. They waved back and smiled. They said, "Hello, little boy! Do you like fire trucks?" Sam said, "Yes, I do! They are big and red and loud and cool!" The firemen said, "Do you want to see inside?" Sam said, "Yes, please!" + +The firemen lifted him up and showed him the driver's seat, the buttons, the radio, and the hose. Sam was amazed. He said, "Wow! This is awesome! Thank you, firemen!" The firemen said, "You're welcome, little boy! You are very brave and curious!" + +Then, Sam saw his mom. She was standing by the sidewalk, looking worried. She said, "Sam, I'm glad you're safe, but you scared me! You can't run away from me like that! You have to listen to me!" Sam felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the fire truck. I forgot about the barber." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I understand, Sam. But you have to remember that I love you and I want you to be safe and healthy. That's why you have to go to the barber. It's not so bad, you know. The barber is nice and gentle, and he will make your hair look neat and clean. And you can still play with it later, if you want." + +Sam thought about it. He said, "Okay, mom. I will go to the barber. But can I see the fire truck again?" His mom said, "Sure, Sam. But first, let's say goodbye and thank you to the firemen. They are very busy and they have to go to help other people." Sam said, "Okay, mom." + +He said goodbye and thank you to the firemen. They said goodbye and good luck to him. They gave him a sticker and a hat with a fire truck on it. Sam was happy. He put on the hat and the sticker and held his mom's hand. He said, "Let's go to the barber, mom. But can we come back and see the fire truck again?" His mom said, "Maybe, Sam. Maybe." +Anna liked to read a lot. She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She also liked to read on the screen. The screen was a big thing that showed stories and games. Anna's mom let her read on the screen sometimes, but not too much. + +One day, Anna went to visit her friend Ben. Ben had a new screen. It was small and shiny. He could hold it in his hand. He showed Anna how he could read on his screen. He could read different stories and games. He could read anywhere he wanted. Anna was envious. She wanted a screen like that. + +"Can I read on your screen?" Anna asked Ben. + +"Sure, you can read on my screen," Ben said. He gave Anna his screen. Anna was happy. She read on Ben's screen. She read a story about a princess and a dragon. She read a game about a cat and a mouse. She read and read and read. + +But Ben was not happy. He wanted his screen back. He waited and waited and waited. He got bored and angry. He did not like to share his screen. + +"Anna, give me my screen back!" Ben said. He tried to take his screen from Anna. + +"No, I want to read on your screen!" Anna said. She held on to his screen. They pulled and pulled and pulled. + +Then, something bad happened. The screen broke. It made a loud noise and a crack. Anna and Ben stopped pulling. They looked at the screen. It was not shiny anymore. It was dark and sad. They could not read on it anymore. + +Anna and Ben were both sorry. They did not mean to break the screen. They felt bad. They said sorry to each other.

But today, there is no sun. There is only rain. Rain, rain, rain. Mia and Ben are sad. + +"Let's play inside," Mia says. "We can draw or read or make puzzles." + +"No, I want to play outside," Ben says. "Rain is fun. You are scared of rain. You are a baby." + +Ben teases Mia. He laughs at her. He runs outside and jumps in a puddle. He splashes water on Mia. Mia is wet and cold. She is angry and hurt. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Mia says. "You are mean. You are not my friend." + +Mia runs inside and cries. She tells her mom what Ben did. Her mom hugs her and gives her a towel. She says, "Ben is wrong. You are not a baby. You are brave and smart and kind. Rain is not scary. It is just water. Sometimes it is nice to play in the rain, but sometimes it is nice to play inside too. You can choose what you like." + +Mia feels better. She says, "Thank you, mom. I like both. But I don't like Ben. He is a bully." + +Meanwhile, Ben is still outside. He is bored and lonely. He wants to play with Mia. He sees a big cloud. The cloud is dark and angry. It makes a loud noise. It is thunder. Ben is scared of thunder. He runs inside and hides under a table. He cries. + +Mia hears Ben cry. She feels sorry for him. She goes to him and says, "Ben, are you okay? Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben looks at Mia. He is embarrassed. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean to you. I was silly. I don't like rain. I like sun. I like you. You are my friend." + +Mia smiles. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend too. Let's play together. We can do anything we want." + +Mia and Ben hug. They are happy. They play inside until the rain stops. Then they go outside and see a rainbow. They say, "Wow, how beautiful!" They laugh and hold hands. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with crayons and paper. They liked to draw different things, like animals, flowers, and houses. Lily drew a big lion with a yellow mane and brown spots. Ben drew a small mouse with a pink nose and gray fur. + +"Look at my lion!" Lily said, showing her paper to Ben. "He is very strong and loud. He can scare away anyone who is mean to us." + +"Wow, your lion is impressive!" Ben said, admiring her drawing. "He has many marks and colors. He looks real." + +"Thank you, Ben. What did you draw?" Lily asked, looking at his paper. + +"I drew a mouse," Ben said, pointing to his drawing. "He is very smart and quiet. He can hide from anyone who is big and scary." + +"Your mouse is nice, too," Lily said, smiling. "He has a cute nose and fur. He looks friendly." + +"Thank you, Lily. Do you want to draw something else?" Ben asked, picking up another crayon. + +"Sure, what do you suggest?" Lily asked, looking at the crayons. + +"Maybe we can draw a cheese for the mouse and a meat for the lion," Ben suggested, holding up a yellow and a red crayon. + +"That sounds fun. Let's do it!" Lily agreed, taking the crayons from him. + +They drew a cheese and a meat on their papers. Then they pretended that the mouse and the lion were sharing their food and talking to each other. They had a lot of fun playing with their drawings. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of colors in the park. They were very happy and decided to use the colors to make pictures on the ground. + +Lily took a red color and drew a heart. Ben took a blue color and drew a star. They smiled at each other and said, "We are good at colors!" + +But then, a big boy came and saw their pictures. He was mean and said, "Your pictures are ugly! I can do better!" He took the colors from Lily and Ben and started to make his own pictures. He drew a snake, a spider, and a monster. He laughed and said, "These are real pictures!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They wanted their colors back, but they did not know what to do. They looked at each other and whispered, "What can we do?" + +Just then, a nice lady came and saw what was happening. She walked over to the big boy and said, "Hey, stop that! You are being rude and unkind! You should not take things that are not yours and make fun of others. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +The big boy felt ashamed and angry. He said, "I don't care! I can do whatever I want! These colors are mine now!" + +The nice lady said, "No, they are not. They belong to Lily and Ben. They found them first and they were using them nicely. You should give them back and say sorry. And you should also learn to share and appreciate different kinds of pictures.

"I have been looking for you. It is past your bedtime. You are in big trouble." + +"Sorry, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "We went to the park on the other side of the hill. We lost track of time. We didn't mean to be late." + +Mom sighs. She is glad they are safe, but she is also upset. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Come inside," Mom says. "You need to have a bath and go to bed. And tomorrow, you will have a lecture. You have to listen to me when I tell you to return before dark. It is dangerous to be out when it is dark. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "We understand. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom smiles. She loves them too. She hopes they will learn from their mistake. She takes them inside and helps them get ready for bed. She tucks them in and says good night. + +"Good night, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "Good night, Tim," Mia says. "Good night, Mia," Tim says. + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the park and the ducks. They hope they can go back someday. But only when it is light. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. It is pink and has a bow on it. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sam says. + +They run to the box and pull the bow. The box opens and they see a lot of toys inside. There are dolls, cars, books, balls, and more. + +"Look, this is for me!" Lily says. She picks up a doll with a pink dress and long hair. She hugs the doll and smiles. + +"And this is for me!" Sam says. He picks up a car with big wheels and a loud horn. He makes the car go vroom and beep. + +They are very happy with their toys. They play with them for a long time. Then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, that's my box! Give it back!" The voice is angry and loud. + +They look up and see a boy. He is bigger than them and has a mean face. He is wearing a pink shirt and a pink hat. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I'm Max. That's my box. My mom gave it to me for my birthday. You took it from my house. Give it back now!" Max says. + +Lily and Sam are scared. They don't want to give back their toys. They like them a lot. + +"But we found it in the park. We didn't know it was yours. We're sorry," Sam says. + +"Too bad. It's mine. Give it back or I'll make you," Max says. He walks towards them and reaches for the box. + +Lily and Sam don't know what to do. They hold their toys tight and back away. They wish they had a friend to help them. + +Then they hear another voice. + +"Hey, leave them alone!" The voice is brave and strong. + +They look up and see a girl. She is bigger than Max and has a nice face. She is wearing a pink dress and a pink bow. + +"Who are you?" Max asks. + +"I'm Mia. I live in the park. I saw you take the box from your house. You were mean to your mom. You didn't say thank you. You didn't share. You don't deserve the box. Give it to them. They are nice and they share. They deserve the box," Mia says. + +Max is surprised. He doesn't like Mia. He doesn't like what she says. He doesn't want to give the box to Lily and Sam. + +"No, it's mine. Go away," Max says. + +Mia shakes her head. She walks towards Max and pushes him. He falls to the ground and drops the box. + +"Ow, that hurts. Stop it," Max says. + +Mia picks up the box and gives it to Lily and Sam. + +"Here you go. You can have the box. You can keep the toys. They are yours now. You are my friends," Mia says. + +Lily and Sam are happy. They thank Mia and hug her. They invite her to play with them. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are very kind. You are our friend too," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mia. You are very brave. You are our friend too," Sam says. + +They play with the toys and have fun. They share and laugh. They are happy. + +Max is sad. He watches them from afar. He wishes he had the box. He wishes he had the toys. He wishes he had friends. He guesses he was wrong. He guesses he was mean. He guesses he should say sorry. He guesses he should be nice. He guesses he should share. He guesses he should try. He guesses he should go. He gets up and walks away. He is sad. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big wheel in the park. The wheel is bright and colorful. It has many seats and goes round and round. + +"Wow, look at the wheel!" Lily says. "Can we go on it?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the wheel and wait in line. Soon, it is their turn. They give their tickets to the man and sit in a seat. They buckle their belts and hold hands. + +The wheel starts to move. Lily and Tom feel happy and excited. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the people from the wheel. They wave and smile. + +"Look, there is our mom and dad!" Lily says. She points to the bench where their parents are sitting. + +"Hi, mom and dad!" Tom says. He shouts and laughs. + +The wheel goes faster and faster. Lily and Tom feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They have fun on the wheel. They are glad they are friends. +Sara and Tom are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big toy house in the garden. They pretend to be a family. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing in the toy house. Sara is the mom and Tom is the dad. Sara makes coffee for Tom with water and mud. She puts it in a cup and gives it to him. + +"Here, dad, drink your coffee. It is hot and good," Sara says. + +Tom takes the cup and pretends to sip it. He makes a face and says, "Yuck, this coffee is bad. It tastes like dirt." + +Sara laughs and says, "It is not bad, dad. It is pretend coffee. You have to use your imagination." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, I will use my imagination. But can I have some juice instead?" + +Sara says, "Sure, dad, I will get you some juice. But be careful with the coffee. Do not spill it on the floor. It will make a mess." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, I will be careful. You are a good mom. You are dependable." + +Sara smiles and says, "Thank you, dad. You are a good dad. You are dependable too." + +She goes to the kitchen to get some juice. She leaves the cup of coffee on the table. + +But then, a cat comes into the toy house. The cat sees the cup of coffee and thinks it is milk. The cat jumps on the table and tries to drink it. + +Tom sees the cat and shouts, "No, cat, no! That is not milk. That is coffee. It is bad for you. It will make you sick." + +He runs to the table and tries to grab the cup. But the cat is faster. The cat knocks the cup over and spills the coffee on the floor. + +The coffee makes a big brown stain on the carpet. The cat runs away. + +Sara comes back with the juice and sees the mess. She says, "Oh no, dad, what happened? Who spilled the coffee?" + +Tom says, "I am sorry, mom. It was the cat. The cat thought it was milk. I tried to warn the cat, but it was too late." + +Sara says, "Oh, dad, that is OK. It was not your fault. The cat was naughty. But we have to clean the mess. We do not want to get in trouble." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, let us clean the mess. We have to work together. We are a team." + +Sara and Tom get some towels and wipe the coffee off the floor. They make the carpet look clean again. + +They hug each other and say, "We did it, dad. We did it, mom. We are dependable. We are best friends." +Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look for treasures in the grass and the sand. One day, they found something shiny and pretty. It was a green jewel. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mia said, holding the jewel in her hand. "It is so bright and sparkly. I wonder where it came from." + +"Maybe it fell from a princess's crown," Ben said, gazing at the jewel with wide eyes. "Or maybe it is magic and can grant wishes." + +"Let's make a wish then," Mia said. "I wish for a big ice cream cone with sprinkles." + +"I wish for a new bike with a bell," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and wished hard. Then they opened them and looked around. But nothing happened. The jewel was still in Mia's hand, and there was no ice cream or bike in sight. + +"Maybe it is not a magic jewel," Mia said, feeling sad. "Maybe it is just a pretty stone." + +"Or maybe we need to say a magic word," Ben said, feeling hopeful. "Maybe we need to say 'please' or 'abracadabra' or something." + +They tried different words, but nothing worked. The jewel was still just a jewel. + +"Maybe we should give it back," Mia said, feeling sorry. "Maybe someone is looking for it and misses it. Maybe it belongs to someone who needs it more than we do." + +"Maybe you are right," Ben said, feeling kind. "But where can we find the owner?" + +They looked around the park, but they did not see anyone who looked like they had lost a jewel. They decided to ask the park ranger, who was sitting on a bench nearby. + +"Excuse me, sir," Mia said, walking up to him with Ben. "We found this green jewel in the grass. Do you know who it belongs to?" + +The park ranger looked at the jewel and smiled. He recognized it right away. It was his daughter's necklace pendant. She had lost it the day before and was very upset. + +"Why, yes, I do," he said, taking the jewel from Mia. "This is my daughter's jewel. She loves it very much. She will be so happy to see it again. Thank you for finding it and bringing it to me. You are very honest and kind children." + +He gave them each a hug and a sticker. Then he called his daughter on his phone and told her the good news. She was overjoyed and thanked Mia and Ben for their help. + +Mia and Ben felt proud and happy. They had done the right thing. They did not need a magic jewel to make their wishes come true. They had each other and their friendship. That was the best treasure of all. +Ben and Mia liked to play dress up. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. One day, Ben found a suit in his dad's closet. It was big and black and had a tie. Ben wanted to wear the suit and be a boss. + +"Look, Mia, I have a suit!" Ben said. "I can lead you and tell you what to do. You can be my worker." + +Mia did not like Ben's idea. She wanted to wear a suit too. She wanted to lead and not follow. She was stubborn and did not listen to Ben. + +"No, Ben, I have a suit too!" Mia said. She ran to her mom's closet and grabbed a suit. It was blue and had a skirt. Mia put on the suit and a hat. "I can lead you and tell you what to do. You can be my worker." + +Ben and Mia both wore suits and both wanted to lead. They argued and shouted and did not play. They were not happy. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see. They saw Ben and Mia in their suits and laughed. + +"Ben and Mia, you look very funny in our suits!" mom said. "But you don't need suits to lead or work. You need to share and cooperate and have fun. Why don't you take off the suits and play something else?" + +Ben and Mia thought about it and agreed. They took off the suits and put them back in the closets. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play pirates instead. They had swords and hats and eye patches. They both led and followed and had fun. They were happy. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then Lila saw a big lime on the ground. She picked it up and said, "Look, Ben, I have a green ball!" + +Ben said, "That's not a ball, Lila, that's a lime. It's sour and yucky. You can't play with it." + +But Lila did not listen. She said, "I can play with it. Watch me!" She threw the lime at Ben's car and hit it hard. The car broke into two pieces. Ben was very sad and angry. He said, "Lila, you broke my car! That was very mean and silly. Now I can't play with it anymore." + +Lila felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to break your car. Can we repair it?" + +Ben said, "No, we can't repair it. It's too broken. You should have listened to me. Now you have no car and no lime. And no friend." + +Lila started to cry. She said, "Please, Ben, don't be mad at me. I want to be your friend. Can we share your other car?" + +Ben said, "No, we can't share. You are too careless and naughty. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lila ran away, sobbing. She wished she had never seen the lime. She learned that playing with things that are not toys can hurt others and yourself. And that being silly is not always fun. +Ben is a young boy who likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He likes to shake them and make loud noises. + +One day, his sister Lily comes into his room. She is older than Ben and she likes to read books and draw pictures. She sees Ben playing with his cars and she wants to join him. She picks up a brown car and says, "Can I play with this one?" + +Ben does not like to share his cars. He says, "No, that is my car. Go away!" He grabs the brown car from Lily and shakes it hard. He says, "This is my car. It is fast and strong. You can't have it." + +Lily is sad and angry. She says, "That is not nice. You should share your toys. You have so many cars. I just want one." She tries to take the brown car back from Ben, but he holds it tight. They start to pull and push and yell. + +Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees Ben and Lily fighting over the brown car. She says, "Stop it, both of you. What is going on here?" She takes the brown car from them and puts it on the shelf. She says, "You need to learn to play nicely and share your toys. No one can play with the brown car until you say sorry to each other." + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry for making Mom angry and for hurting each other. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily." They hug and make up. Mom smiles and says, "That's better. Now you can play with the other cars. But remember to be kind and take turns." She gives them each a kiss and leaves them to play. Ben and Lily pick up different cars and start to zoom and crash them on the floor. They laugh and have fun. They don't fight over the brown car anymore. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big bean plant. The bean plant has many green beans. + +"Look, Tom, beans!" Sue says. "I like beans. Do you like beans?" + +"Yes, I like beans too," Tom says. "Can we pick some beans?" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The bean plant is heavy. It can fall down," Sue says. + +They pick some beans. They put them in a basket. The basket is heavy too. They want to take the basket to the house. + +"Come, Sue, let's go to the house," Tom says. "We can show the beans to Mom and Dad." + +"OK, Tom, let's go," Sue says. "But the basket is heavy. Can you help me?" + +They hold the basket together. They walk to the house. They are happy. They have many beans. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily invites Ben to her house. She says, "Come to my house, Ben. We can play in my room. I have many toys." + +Ben is happy. He says, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. Let's go to your house." They walk to Lily's house. They go to her room. Lily shows Ben her toys. She has a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. She has a car with big wheels and a loud horn. She has a puzzle with many pieces and a picture of a farm. + +Lily says, "Let's play with my doll. She is very beautiful. She can sing and dance. You can be her friend." Ben says, "No, Lily. I don't like dolls. They are boring. Let's play with my car. It is very cool. It can go fast and make noise. You can be the driver." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want to play with their own toy. They don't want to share. They say, "No, you play with mine. No, you play with mine." They get angry and loud. + +Lily's mom hears them. She comes to the room. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to be friends. You need to share and take turns. If you can't play nicely, you can't play at all." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We want to play nicely. We want to be friends." Lily's mom says, "That's good. Why don't you try something else? How about the puzzle? It is fun and you can work together." + +Lily and Ben agree. They say, "Okay, mom. We will play with the puzzle. Thank you for inviting me, Lily. Thank you for coming, Ben." They go to the puzzle. They find the pieces and make the picture. They have fun and they are happy. They are friends again. +Sara and Ben are playing on the beach. They like to make sand castles and dig holes. Sara has a big red bucket and Ben has a small blue shovel. They are having fun. + +But then a big wave comes and washes away their sand castles. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry and hug each other. + +"Go away, wave!" Sara shouts. "You are mean and bad!" + +The wave does not listen. It comes again and again. It is persistent. It wants to play with Sara and Ben, but it does not know how to be gentle. + +Sara and Ben run away from the water. They look for a safe place to play. They see a big towel on the sand. It is soft and colorful. It belongs to their mom. + +"Let's play with the towel!" Ben says. "We can wrap ourselves in it and pretend we are caterpillars!" + +Sara likes the idea. She smiles and nods. They take the towel and wrap themselves in it. They crawl and wiggle on the sand. They giggle and laugh. + +Their mom sees them and smiles too. She comes to join them. She wraps them in a big hug and kisses them. + +"I love you, my little caterpillars!" she says. "Are you having fun?" + +"Yes, mom!" Sara and Ben say. "We are having fun!" + +They forget about the wave. They are happy and warm. They are safe and loved. +Lily loved to play princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a big wand. She liked to pretend that she could do magic with her wand. She would wave it and say, "Bippity boppity boo!" + +One day, she found a big bowl and a spoon in the kitchen. She thought, "I can make a magic potion with this!" She looked around and saw many things that she could mix in the bowl. She saw milk, eggs, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, and more. She poured and cracked and sprinkled and squirted everything in the bowl. She stirred and stirred with her spoon. She said, "Bippity boppity boo!" + +She was very proud of her potion. She wanted to show it to her mom. She picked up the bowl and carried it to the living room. But the bowl was very heavy and the potion was very messy. It spilled and splashed on the floor and on Lily's dress. Lily slipped and fell. She felt dizzy and ouchy. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and Lily on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess and you hurt yourself. You should not mix things that do not belong together. You should not play with food. You should not carry heavy things by yourself. You should ask me before you use anything in the kitchen." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make a magic potion. I wanted to be a princess." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a princess, Lily. You are my princess. But you do not need a magic potion to be a princess. You just need to be kind and careful and listen to me. That is the real magic. Can you help me clean up this mess?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I will help you. I will be a good princess." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and careful and listen to your parents. Do not mix things that do not belong together. Do not play with food. Do not carry heavy things by yourself. Ask before you use anything in the kitchen. +Anna loves kittens. She has a cute kitten at home. His name is Fluffy. Fluffy has soft fur and big eyes. He likes to play with Anna. + +One day, Anna and Fluffy go to the park. They see a big tree. Fluffy runs to the tree and climbs up. He sees a bird on a branch. He wants to catch the bird. He jumps from one branch to another. + +Anna watches Fluffy. She is worried. She says, "Fluffy, come down! You are too high!" But Fluffy does not listen. He is busy chasing the bird. +
