Where did you find it?" she asked. + +"In the sand, mom," Tim said, feeling sorry. + +"Someone must have left it here by mistake. You should never touch a knife, boys. It is not for playing. Do you remember what I told you about knives?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, we remember. Knives are for cutting food, not for playing. We are sorry, mom," Sam said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you remember. I love you, boys. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies. And please, be nice to each other. Sharing is caring, right?" + +"Right, mom," Tim and Sam said, smiling. They followed mom inside and forgot about the knife. They were happy to have cookies and each other. +Sara and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play together in their room upstairs. But today, they have a terrible fight. Sara wants to seat on the big chair and read her book. Ben wants to seat on the same chair and play with his car. + +"Go away, Ben! This is my chair!" Sara says. + +"No, it is not! It is our chair! I want to seat here!" Ben says. + +They push and pull and shout. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them from downstairs. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, Sara and Ben! You are being very rude and loud! Come downstairs right now!" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They know they are in trouble. They leave the chair and go downstairs. They say sorry to Mom. Mom is still angry, but she loves them. She tells them to seat on the couch and talk nicely. She says they have to share and be kind. Sara and Ben nod. They hug each other and say sorry again. They learn their lesson. They do not want to have a terrible fight again. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of animals, like a lion, a zebra, a monkey and a hippo. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in the jungle. + +"Roar!" said Lila, holding the lion. "I am the king of the jungle. Who wants to be my friend?" + +"Me, me!" said Ben, holding the zebra. "I am fast and striped. Can I be your friend?" + +"Sure, you can be my friend," said Lila. "But you have to share your grass with me. I am hungry." + +"OK, I will share my grass with you," said Ben. "But you have to be nice to me. I don't like it when you bite me." + +"OK, I will be nice to you," said Lila. "But you have to be careful of the hippo. He is big and strong. He can splash you with water." + +"Who is the hippo?" asked Ben, looking around. + +"I am the hippo," said a voice from behind the couch. It was Sam, their older brother. He had been hiding and listening to their game. He came out with the hippo toy and made a loud snort. + +"Hi, hippo," said Lila and Ben, surprised. + +"Hi, lion and zebra," said Sam, smiling. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, we want to play with you," said Lila and Ben, happy. + +"OK, then let's play," said Sam. "But first, I have something for you. I want to be generous and add to your toys. Look what I have." + +He showed them a bag full of stickers, crayons, books and puzzles. Lila and Ben gasped. They loved stickers, crayons, books and puzzles. + +"Wow, thank you, hippo," said Lila and Ben, hugging Sam. "You are the best hippo ever. You are so generous." + +"You're welcome, lion and zebra," said Sam, hugging them back. "You are the best lion and zebra ever. You are so fun." + +They played together for a long time, making noises, coloring, reading and solving puzzles. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. They were friends. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to go on the subway with Mom. The subway is big and fast and loud. It takes them to many places. + +One day, Mom says, "We are going to the zoo today. We will see many animals. Are you ready?" + +Ben and Mia nod and smile. They put on their jackets and zip them up. They grab their backpacks and follow Mom to the subway station. + +They wait on the platform until the subway comes. It makes a whoosh sound and stops. The doors open and they get in. They find a seat and look out the window. + +They see buildings and cars and people. They see bridges and rivers and parks. They see signs and lights and colors. They point and say, "Look, look!" + +Mom says, "We are almost there. Do you know what animals you want to see?" + +Ben says, "I want to see the lions. They are big and strong and roar." + +Mia says, "I want to see the penguins. They are small and cute and slide." + +Mom says, "We can see both. And many more. The zoo is very big and charming. You will have fun." + +The subway stops and they get out. They follow the signs to the zoo entrance. They see a big gate with a picture of a giraffe. They are excited and run to the gate. + +Mom says, "Wait for me. I have the tickets. Let's go and see the animals." +Tom and Anna were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their luggage with their clothes, toys and books. They put their luggage in the car and got ready to leave. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to drive for a long time," mom said. + +"Can we play a game?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, what game do you want to play?" dad said. + +"I spy with my little eye something that is green," Anna said. + +"Is it the grass?" Tom guessed. + +"No, it is not the grass," Anna said. + +"Is it the trees?" mom guessed. + +"No, it is not the trees," Anna said. + +"Is it the traffic light?" dad guessed. + +"Yes, it is the traffic light! You are smart, dad!" Anna said. + +They played the game for a while, until they saw a big sign that said "Road Closed Ahead". + +"Oh no, what does that mean?" Tom asked. + +"It means we have to take a different road, because there is a problem on this one," dad said. + +"Will we still get to our destination?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, we will, but it might take longer," mom said. + +They turned around and followed a different road. The road was narrow and bumpy. There were many rocks and holes on the road. The car shook and rattled. + +"Be careful, dad. This road is dangerous," mom said. + +"I know, honey. I'm trying to be careful," dad said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bang. The car stopped. Dad got out and looked at the tire. It was flat. + +"Oh no, we have a flat tire!" dad said. + +"Can you fix it, dad?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, son. I have to check the trunk," dad said. + +He opened the trunk and looked for the spare tire. But he could not find it. He remembered that he had taken it out to make room for their luggage. He had forgotten to put it back. + +"I'm sorry, everyone. I made a big mistake. I don't have a spare tire. I took it out and forgot to put it back," dad said. + +"What are we going to do now, dad?" Anna asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. I don't know," dad said. + +They were stuck on the road. They could not go anywhere. They could not call for help, because they had no signal. They had no food or water. They had no shelter. They had no hope. + +They wished they had prevented this from happening. They wished they had checked their car before they left. They wished they had been more careful and grateful for what they had. + +The moral of the story is: Always be prepared and thankful for your trips. Don't let your luggage take up the space of your safety. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big stone near a tree. Lily says, "Let's climb on the stone and pretend we are lions." Tom says, "OK, that sounds fun." + +They climb on the stone and roar like lions. They make faces and wave their arms. They have a lot of fun. But then they hear their mom calling them. She says, "Lily, Tom, it's time to go home. Come here, please." Lily and Tom do not want to go home. They want to stay on the stone and play. + +They say, "No, mom, we want to stay. We are lions. We are fast and strong. We do not want to leave our stone." Mom says, "I know you are having fun, but we have to go home. It's getting dark and cold. You can play on the stone again tomorrow. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They do not want to make mom angry. They say, "OK, mom, we will come. But can we say goodbye to our stone?" Mom says, "Yes, you can say goodbye to your stone. But hurry up, please." + +Lily and Tom climb down from the stone. They hug the stone and say, "Bye, stone. Thank you for letting us play on you. You are a good stone. We will see you tomorrow." The stone does not say anything, but it feels happy. Lily and Tom run to their mom. They hold her hand and walk home. They are still lions in their hearts. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big package near the slide. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's race to the package!" Tom says. "The first one to get there can open it." + +"OK!" Sam says. "Ready, set, go!" + +They run as fast as they can. Tom is a little bit faster than Sam. He reaches the package first. He pulls the string and opens the box. + +"Wow!" Tom says. "Look what I found!" + +He takes out a toy car. It is red and shiny. It has four wheels and a horn. Tom likes cars. He is very happy. + +Sam is sad. He wanted to open the package too. He wanted to find a toy. He feels terrible. + +"That's not fair!" Sam says. "You got the car and I got nothing!" + +He starts to cry. He does not want to play with Tom anymore. + +Tom sees that Sam is crying. He feels sorry for him. He does not want to make Sam sad. He likes Sam. He wants to share with him. + +"Hey, Sam, don't cry!" Tom says. "You can play with the car too. It is for both of us. We can take turns. We can race the car in the park. It will be fun!" + +Sam stops crying. He looks at Tom. He sees that Tom is being nice. He smiles. + +"Really?" Sam says. "You will share the car with me?" + +"Of course!" Tom says. "You are my friend. Friends share." + +He gives the car to Sam. Sam takes the car. He says thank you. He hugs Tom. + +They are happy. They play with the car in the park. They race the car on the grass. They honk the horn. They laugh. They have fun. They are friends. +Sara and Ben are playing with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw flowers, stars, and rainbows with many colors. They are happy and laugh a lot. + +But then, a big truck comes and drives over their drawings. The chalk is crushed and the sidewalk is dirty. Sara and Ben are very sad and angry. They shout at the truck, but it does not stop. + +"Why did the truck do that?" Sara asks. "It ruined our drawings!" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It was very mean and rude!" + +They look at the sidewalk and see no flowers, no stars, no rainbows. Only dust and tire marks. They feel like crying. + +"Let's weep," Sara says. "Maybe someone will hear us and help us." + +"OK," Ben says. "Let's weep together." + +They sit on the curb and weep loudly. They hope someone will come and make the sidewalk clean again. They weep and weep until their eyes are red and their noses are wet. + +Then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what's wrong?" the voice says. "Why are you weeping?" + +They look up and see a lady with a broom and a bucket. She smiles and kneels down next to them. + +"We were playing with chalk and drawing on the sidewalk," Sara says. "But a big truck came and drove over our drawings. It made the sidewalk dirty and our chalk gone. We are very sad and angry." + +"That's not nice at all," the lady says. "I'm sorry that happened to you. But don't worry, I can help you. I have a broom and a bucket of water. I can clean the sidewalk for you. And I have some extra chalk in my bag. You can have it and draw again. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben stop weeping and look at the lady. They see her broom and her bucket and her bag. They see her smile and her eyes. They feel a little better. + +"Really?" Sara says. "You can do that for us?" + +"Sure," the lady says. "I like to see kids happy and creative. And I like chalk too. It's fun and colorful. Come on, let's clean the sidewalk and make some new drawings. What do you want to draw?" + +Sara and Ben smile and wipe their eyes and noses. They stand up and take the lady's hand. They thank her and follow her to the sidewalk. They take the chalk from her bag and start to draw again. They draw flowers, stars, and rainbows with many colors. They are happy and laugh a lot. The lady helps them and draws with them. She is happy and laughs too. + +The sidewalk is clean and bright. The truck is gone and forgotten. Sara and Ben have a new friend and new chalk. They are happy and grateful. They have fun and learn. They are not sad and angry anymore. They do not weep anymore. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It is fun!" Sara says. + +"No, Sara, it is too high. And it is dark inside. I don't like it," Ben says. + +"Please, Ben, don't be a baby. It is not scary. I will go first and show you," Sara says. + +Sara runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and looks down. She sees a long tunnel that is dark and twisty. She feels a little scared, but she does not want to show it. She pushes herself and slides down. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Sara shouts when she comes out. "See, Ben, it is not bad. Come on, try it!" + +Ben walks slowly to the slide. He looks up and sees Sara smiling. He wants to be brave like her, but he is still scared. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. He looks down and sees the dark tunnel. He feels very scared. He wants to go back, but Sara is waiting for him. + +"Come on, Ben, you can do it!" Sara cheers. + +Ben closes his eyes and slides down. He feels the wind in his hair and the slide under his body. He hears Sara's voice and his own scream. He comes out of the tunnel and lands on the ground. He opens his eyes and sees Sara clapping. + +"Yay, Ben, you did it! How do you feel?" Sara asks. + +Ben feels his heart beating fast and his head spinning. He feels proud and happy. He smiles and hugs Sara. + +"I feel good, Sara. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +Sara hugs him back and smiles. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. You were brave and tried something new. I am proud of you," Sara says. + +They hold hands and run to the swings. They play and laugh together. They have fun in the park. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes we are afraid of things we don't know, but we can overcome our fears with the help of our friends. We can learn new things and have fun if we permit ourselves to try. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They liked to bounce it, roll it, and throw it to each other. + +One day, their mom had a surprise for them. She said, "I have something for you in this box. It is very special and you have to share it." She gave them the box and told them to open it together. + +Anna and Ben were very excited. They opened the box and saw a shiny new bike. It had two wheels, a bell, and a basket. They both wanted to ride it right away. + +"Me first!" Anna said. + +"No, me first!" Ben said. + +They started to pull the bike from each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to take turns. They were so busy fighting that they did not see the big red ball on the floor. + +Anna and Ben both stepped on the ball and slipped. They let go of the bike and fell down. The bike rolled out of the door and down the hill. They watched in horror as the bike crashed into a tree and broke. + +Anna and Ben started to cry. They had lost their surprise and their favorite toy. They felt very sorry and wished they had shared. + +Their mom came and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry you lost your bike, but I'm glad you are not hurt. Do you know what you did wrong?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We were selfish and greedy. We did not share. We drop the ball and the bike." + +Their mom said, "That's right. Sharing is caring. When you share, you make others happy and yourself happy. When you don't share, you make others sad and yourself sad. Can you promise me to share from now on?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, mom. We promise. We are sorry." + +Their mom said, "I forgive you. I love you both. Now, let's go and see if we can fix the bike. Maybe we can still have some fun with it." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you too. We will share the bike and the ball and everything else." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the bath. They had many toys, like ducks and boats and bubbles. But their favorite thing was the soap. They liked to make shapes and letters with the soap on the wall. They also liked to rub the soap on their hair and skin, and pretend they were snowmen or clouds. + +One day, their mom said, "It's time to get out of the bath, kids. You have been in there for too long. You need to dry off and get ready for bed." Anna and Ben did not want to get out. They wanted to play more with the soap. They said, "No, mom, please, just a little more. We are having fun with the soap." + +Their mom said, "Okay, but only five more minutes. And don't waste the soap. We only have a little left. If you use it all, we won't have any for tomorrow." She left the bathroom and closed the door. + +Anna and Ben did not listen to their mom. They used more and more soap, until there was none left in the bottle. They made big piles of soap on the wall and the floor. They threw soap at each other and laughed. They did not notice that the soap was making the floor slippery and the water dirty. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was their dad. He said, "What are you doing in there? I heard a lot of noise. Are you okay?" Anna and Ben stopped playing and looked at each other. They felt troubled. They knew they had done something bad. They said, "We are okay, dad. We are just playing with the soap." + +Their dad opened the door and saw the mess. He saw the empty soap bottle, the soap on the wall and the floor, and the dirty water in the tub. He was angry. He said, "What have you done? You have wasted all the soap. You have made a big mess. You have disobeyed your mom. You need to clean up and apologize right now." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We did not mean to. We just wanted to have fun with the soap." They helped their dad clean up the bathroom. They said sorry to their mom. They learned their lesson. They never played with the soap again. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a lizard on a rock. Tim wanted to touch it. Sam said no, it might bite. Tim did not listen. He ran to the lizard and tried to grab it. + +The lizard was scared. It opened its mouth and bit Tim's finger. Tim cried out loud. He dropped the lizard and ran to Sam. Sam looked at Tim's finger. It was red and sore. He felt sorry for Tim. He said, "I told you not to touch it. It was not a good idea." + +Tim was angry. He blamed Sam for the lizard. He said, "You made it bite me. You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." He ran away from Sam. He went to his mom and showed her his finger. His mom took him to the nurse. The nurse put a bandage on his finger. She said, "You need to be careful with animals. They can hurt you if you scare them." + +Tim felt better. He wanted to go back to the park. He wanted to see Sam. He missed him. He realized he was wrong. He should not have touched the lizard. He should not have been mean to Sam. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to forgive Sam and be friends again. + +But when he got to the park, he could not find Sam. He looked everywhere. He asked other kids. They said Sam had left. They said he was sad. They said he had found a new friend. A friend who did not hurt lizards. A friend who listened to him. A friend who was good. + +Tim felt sad. He felt lonely. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had been a good friend. He wished he could forgive Sam and be friends again. But it was too late. Sam was gone. Tim had lost his friend. He had learned his lesson. But he had paid a high price. +Lily liked to spin in the garden. She spun fast and slow, round and round, until she felt dizzy. She laughed and felt happy. + +One day, she saw a new plant in the garden. It had green leaves and purple flowers. It smelled nice. Lily wanted to spin with the plant. She picked some leaves and flowers and put them in her hair. She spun with the plant. + +But Mommy was not happy. She saw Lily spinning with the plant. She said, "Lily, that is an herb. It is for cooking, not for playing. And you are dirty. You have dirt on your dress and your hair. You need a bath." + +Lily was sad. She liked the herb. She liked to spin. She did not want a bath. She said, "Sorry, Mommy. I did not know. Can I keep the herb?" + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Yes, you can keep the herb. But you have to wash it first. And you have to wash yourself too. Then we can cook with the herb and make something yummy." + +Lily nodded. She gave Mommy a hug. She said, "OK, Mommy. I love you. And I love the herb." She went to the bathroom and took a bath. She washed the herb too. She was still happy. She spun in the water. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. Lily had a big doll that could talk and sing. Max had a fast car that could make noises and flash lights. They were very happy with their toys. + +One day, a new girl moved in next door. Her name was Zoe. She had a lot of toys too. She had a popular robot that could walk and dance. She had a switch that could change the robot's voice and color. She had a book that could tell stories and show pictures. She was very proud of her toys. + +Zoe came to the garden and saw Lily and Max playing. She said, "Hello, I'm Zoe. Do you want to play with me?" Lily and Max said, "Yes, we do." Zoe said, "OK, but you have to play with my toys. They are better than yours. You can give me your toys and I'll give you mine." + +Lily and Max did not like this idea. They loved their toys. They did not want to give them away. Lily said, "No, thank you. We like our toys. They are fun and special. We don't want to play with your toys." Max said, "Yes, we don't want to switch. Your toys are not better. They are just different." + +Zoe was angry. She said, "Fine, then you can't play with me. You are silly and boring. My toys are the best. You are missing out." She took her toys and went back to her house. She slammed the door. + +Lily and Max felt sad. They wanted to make a new friend. But they did not want to lose their toys. They looked at each other and hugged. They said, "We are still best friends. We don't need to switch. We have each other and our toys. That's enough." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found some sticks and stones in the yard. They wanted to make a fire like they saw on TV. They rubbed two sticks together very fast, but nothing happened. They tried again and again, but still no fire. + +They saw a big stone that was shiny and smooth. They thought it was a rich stone, like the ones in Mom's necklace. They rubbed the stone with a stick, hoping it would make a spark. But the stone was not rich, it was glass. It broke into pieces and cut Ben's hand. He cried out loud. + +Lily ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw the blood on Ben's hand. She was angry and scared. She took Ben inside and cleaned his wound. She put a band-aid on it and gave him a hug. She told Lily and Ben that they should never play with fire or glass. They could get hurt or start a fire. She said fire was only for grown-ups who knew how to use it safely. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry to Mom and to each other. They promised to never do that again. Mom forgave them and gave them some cookies and milk. She told them to play with their toys or read a book instead. They nodded and smiled. They learned their lesson. They loved Mom and each other. +Mia and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their dogs, Luna and Rex. Luna and Rex are loyal dogs. They always follow Mia and Ben and protect them from danger. + +One day, Mia and Ben decide to have a picnic in the park. They gather some bread, cheese, fruit and juice from their homes and put them in a basket. They also take some napkins to wipe their mouths and hands. They walk to the park with Luna and Rex and find a nice spot under a big tree. + +They spread a blanket on the grass and sit down. They share their food and drink and talk about their favorite things. Luna and Rex lie down next to them and enjoy the sun. Mia and Ben are very happy. + +"Thank you for being my friend, Ben," Mia says. + +"Thank you for being my friend, Mia," Ben says. + +They hug each other and smile. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big bird flying over them. The bird has a long beak and sharp claws. It is a hawk. The hawk sees the food in the basket and wants to take it. It dives down and tries to grab the basket. + +But Luna and Rex are not afraid. They jump up and bark at the hawk. They chase the hawk away and save the food. Mia and Ben are very proud of their dogs. + +"Good job, Luna and Rex," Mia says. + +"You are brave and loyal dogs," Ben says. + +They pet their dogs and give them some treats. They finish their picnic and pack their things. They are ready to go home. + +They walk back to their homes with Luna and Rex. They say goodbye and promise to play again soon. They are best friends. They are happy. +Lily was very scared. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not like the hospital. It was big and cold and noisy. She shivered in her bed and hugged her teddy bear. + +"Mama, I don't want to go," she said in a small voice. + +"I know, sweetie, but the doctor will make you feel better. He will fix your ear so you can hear well. It will be very quick and you won't feel any pain," her mama said and kissed her forehead. + +Lily nodded, but she still felt scared. She wished she could stay at home and play with her friends. She liked to run and jump and laugh in the sun. She liked to pretend she was a wild animal, like a lion or a tiger or a bear. + +"Can I take my teddy bear with me?" she asked. + +"Of course you can. He will keep you company and make you brave. He is a very wild teddy bear, you know. He can roar and growl and scare away any bad things," her mama said and smiled. + +Lily smiled too. She squeezed her teddy bear and made a roar. She felt a little better. She decided she would be a wild teddy bear too. She would roar and growl and scare away her fear. She would be brave and strong and have her operation. Then she would go back home and play with her friends. She would be a happy and healthy wild teddy bear. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. On Wednesday, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the pile and jump in. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Anna says. + +"Let's bury each other!" Ben says. + +They take turns to cover each other with leaves. They giggle and pretend to be asleep. + +"Shh, don't wake them up!" Anna says. + +"They are very healthy. They need a lot of rest!" Ben says. + +Their moms watch them and smile. They are happy to see their children having fun. They take pictures of them with their phones. + +"Look, they are so cute!" Anna's mom says. + +"They are like little squirrels!" Ben's mom says. + +They call their children to have a snack. Anna and Ben come out of the leaves. They brush off the dirt and the bugs. They are hungry and thirsty. They eat some apples and drink some juice. They thank their moms and hug them. + +"Can we play in the leaves again?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe next Wednesday," Ben's mom says. + +"OK, we will wait," Ben says. + +They wave goodbye to each other and go home. They are tired but happy. They had a good day. They dream of playing in the leaves again. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to match their cars by color or by size. Sometimes they make races or crashes with their cars. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a new toy in their toy box. It is a whip. It is long and thin and light. It has a handle and a string. Sara and Ben do not know what a whip is. They think it is a snake or a rope. + +"Look, Ben, a snake!" Sara says, holding the whip by the handle. + +"No, Sara, it is a rope!" Ben says, grabbing the string. + +They pull the whip from each other. The whip makes a loud sound. SNAP! + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the whip. They run to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a scary toy in our toy box!" Sara says. + +"What toy, Sara?" Mom asks. + +"A snake or a rope that makes noise!" Ben says. + +Mom goes to the toy box. She sees the whip. She smiles. + +"That is not a snake or a rope, Sara and Ben. That is a whip. It is a toy for horses. You can make it snap by moving it fast. But you have to be careful. It can hurt you or others if you hit them with it." + +"Can we play with it, mom?" Sara asks. + +"Only if you are gentle and nice, Sara. And only if you ask me first, Ben. And only if you do not match it with your cars, because it can break them or scratch them." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry to mom. They pick up the whip. They take turns to make it snap. They have fun with their new toy. But they do not forget their cars. They still like to match them by color or by size. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. They want to see the birds' nests. They climb the tree very carefully. + +"Look, Anna, I found a nest!" Ben says. He holds a small nest with three eggs in his hand. "The eggs are blue and pretty." + +"Ben, put the nest back!" Anna says. "The birds need their nest. They will be sad if you take it." + +But Ben does not listen. He wants to keep the nest. He puts it in his pocket. He climbs down the tree. + +Suddenly, a big bird flies over Ben's head. It is the mother bird. She is angry. She sees her nest in Ben's pocket. She pecks at Ben's pocket. She makes a loud noise. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He drops the nest. The eggs fall out. They break on the ground. "The bird is hurting me!" + +Anna runs to Ben. She helps him get away from the bird. She picks up the nest. She puts it back in the tree. She hopes the bird will forgive them. + +Ben is embarrassed. He is sorry for what he did. He says to Anna, "I was wrong. I should not have taken the nest. I was greedy. I did not gain anything. I only made trouble." + +Anna hugs Ben. She says, "It's okay, Ben. You learned your lesson. Next time, we will respect the birds and their nests. They are not ours to take. They are theirs to share." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to eat broccoli. Mommy says broccoli is good for them, but they think it is yucky. + +One day, Mommy makes a delicious soup with carrots, potatoes, and broccoli. She puts a bowl of soup in front of Anna and Ben and says, "Eat your soup, my loves. It will make you strong and healthy." + +Anna and Ben look at the soup and see the green bits of broccoli. They make a face and say, "No, thank you, Mommy. We do not want broccoli. We want cookies." + +Mommy shakes her head and says, "No, cookies are for dessert. You have to eat your soup first. Broccoli is not yucky, it is delicious. Try it, you might like it." + +Anna and Ben do not listen to Mommy. They pick up their spoons and pretend to eat the soup, but they secretly drop the broccoli on the floor, under the table. They think Mommy will not notice, but they are wrong. + +Mommy sees the broccoli on the floor and says, "Anna and Ben, what did you do? Why did you drop the broccoli on the floor? That is not nice. You are wasting food and making a mess." + +Anna and Ben feel ashamed and say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We do not like broccoli. It is yucky." + +Mommy says, "Broccoli is not yucky, it is delicious. You should not judge something by how it looks. You should try it before you say you do not like it. Maybe you will be surprised. And you should not drop food on the floor. That is rude and wasteful. There are many children who do not have enough food to eat. You should be grateful for what you have and eat it with joy." + +Anna and Ben realize that Mommy is right. They say, "You are right, Mommy. We are sorry. We will try the broccoli and eat it with joy. And we will not drop food on the floor again." + +Mommy smiles and says, "That is good, my loves. I am proud of you. Now, enjoy your soup. It is delicious." + +Anna and Ben try the broccoli and find out that it is not yucky, it is delicious. They eat their soup and say, "Thank you, Mommy. This soup is delicious. We like broccoli now." + +Mommy says, "You are welcome, my loves. I am glad you like broccoli now. And guess what? You can have cookies for dessert." + +Anna and Ben are happy and say, "Yay! Cookies!" + +The end. +Lily liked to write stories with her crayons. She wrote about animals, princesses, and adventures. She wrote on paper, on cardboard, and sometimes on the wall. Her mom was not happy when she wrote on the wall. + +One day, Lily smelled something yummy in the kitchen. She ran to see what it was. Her mom had made pastries for breakfast. They were hot and flaky and had jam inside. Lily wanted one very much. + +"Can I have a pastry, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. They are too hot. You have to wait until they cool down. Why don't you write a story while you wait?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded and went to get her crayons. She found a big piece of paper and started to write a story about a pastry that came to life and had adventures. She wrote and drew and used many colors. She was so busy that she forgot about the pastries. + +Her mom came to see what she was doing. She smiled when she saw Lily's story. She was proud of her daughter's imagination and creativity. + +"Wow, Lily, what a wonderful story! You are a great writer!" her mom said. + +"Thank you, mom. I like to write stories. They make me happy," Lily said. + +"And you know what else makes me happy? Sharing a pastry with you. They are cool enough now. Do you want one?" her mom said. + +"Yes, please! I love pastries. They are yummy," Lily said. + +They went to the kitchen and each had a pastry. They were delicious and sweet. Lily and her mom hugged and thanked each other. + +The moral of the story is: Writing stories is fun and rewarding. It can also help you be patient and wait for good things. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them. + +"Look, I have some bread for the ducks!" Tom says. He breaks the bread into small pieces and throws them into the water. The ducks swim and quack and eat the bread. + +"I have some celery for the fish!" Sue says. She holds a long green stick of celery. She bites off a small piece and drops it into the water. The fish swim and nibble and eat the celery. + +"Celery is rare for fish. They like it!" Sue says. She smiles and bites off another piece. + +Tom and Sue watch the ducks and the fish. They are happy. They want to have more fun. + +"Let's splash the water!" Tom says. He takes off his shoes and socks and runs to the edge of the pond. He jumps and splashes the water with his feet. + +"Let's splash the water!" Sue says. She takes off her shoes and socks and runs to the edge of the pond. She jumps and splashes the water with her feet. + +Tom and Sue splash the water. They laugh and shout. The water is cold and wet. The ducks and the fish swim away. They are scared. + +"Stop! Stop!" a voice says. It is the park keeper. He is angry. He runs to Tom and Sue. He tells them to stop splashing the water. He tells them to put on their shoes and socks. He tells them to go away. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They did not mean to scare the ducks and the fish. They did not mean to make the park keeper angry. They put on their shoes and socks. They say sorry to the park keeper. They say goodbye to the ducks and the fish. They go away. + +They walk to the playground. They see a slide and a swing and a sandbox. They want to play again. + +"Let's play on the slide!" Tom says. + +"Let's play on the swing!" Sue says. + +They run to the playground. They play on the slide and the swing and the sandbox. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings and slide down the slide. They were having fun and laughing. + +"Look, there is a man with a lot of food!" Lily said, pointing to a bench. The man had a big bag of bread, cheese, fruit and cookies. He was reading a book and did not see them. + +"Let's go and get some food!" Tom said. He was hungry and the food looked yummy. He did not think it was wrong to take food from someone else. He was ignorant. + +They ran to the bench and grabbed some food from the bag. They stuffed their mouths with bread and cheese and ran away. They did not say thank you or sorry to the man. + +The man heard the noise and looked up. He saw Tom and Lily running away with his food. He was angry and sad. He had bought the food for his sick wife, who was waiting for him at home. He had no more money to buy more food. He shouted at them, but they did not hear him. + +Tom and Lily ate the food and threw the wrappers on the ground. They did not care about the man or his wife or the park. They were ignorant and selfish. They did not know that they had done a bad thing. They did not know that they would get sick from eating too much. They did not know that they would have no friends. They did not know that they would be unhappy. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved chocolate. They always asked their mom for chocolate when they went to the store. One day, their mom said they could each have one chocolate bar, but they had to share it with their friends at school. + +Lily and Ben were very happy and thanked their mom. They put their chocolate bars in their backpacks and went to school. But on the way, Ben saw a big dog and wanted to pet it. He put his backpack on the ground and ran to the dog. He forgot about his chocolate. + +Lily saw what Ben did and smiled. She thought she was lucky. She could have her chocolate and Ben's chocolate too. She did not tell Ben that he forgot his chocolate. She hid it in her backpack and went to school. + +At school, Lily and Ben met their friends. Their friends asked them if they had any chocolate to share. Lily said yes, but Ben said no. He looked in his backpack and saw that his chocolate was gone. He felt sad and angry. He asked Lily if she saw his chocolate. + +Lily lied and said no. She did not want to share her chocolate. She ate her chocolate and Ben's chocolate when no one was looking. She felt happy and full. + +But soon, Lily felt sick. She ate too much chocolate. Her tummy hurt and she had a headache. She had to go to the nurse. The nurse asked her what she ate. Lily told the truth and said she ate two chocolate bars. The nurse said that was not good. She said Lily should share her chocolate and not be greedy. + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She wished she had shared her chocolate with Ben and her friends. She realized that she was not lucky, but selfish. She learned that it is better to be honest and kind than to lie and cheat. She hoped that Ben would forgive her. She decided to buy him a new chocolate bar with her allowance. She hoped he would like it. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. But sometimes they fight. They want the same toy or they do not share. Then they yell and cry. + +One day, they have a big fight. Tom takes Mia's doll and Mia takes Tom's car. They pull and tug. They do not listen to Mom and Dad. They are very mad. + +Mom and Dad are sad. They want peace. They want Tom and Mia to be nice. They say, "Quit fighting. Quit being mean. Quit making noise. You are not cool. You are rude." + +Tom and Mia stop. They look at Mom and Dad. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Mia." + +They hug and kiss. They give back the toys. They play together. They share and take turns. They laugh and smile. They are cool. They are happy. They have peace. Mom and Dad are happy too. They say, "Good job, Tom and Mia. You are good friends. You are cool." +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to have a tea party in the bathtub. They filled the tub with water and bubbles, and brought their cups and saucers and teddy bears. They pretended to pour tea and eat cookies, and had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily noticed something smelly in the water. She gazed at the tub and saw a brown lump floating near her feet. She screamed and jumped out of the tub, splashing water everywhere. + +"Tom, what is that?" she asked, pointing at the lump. + +Tom looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I had to poop and I couldn't get out of the tub." + +Lily was very angry and said, "That's gross, Tom! You ruined our tea party and made the water smelly. You have to clean it up!" + +Tom started to cry and said, "I don't want to. It's too yucky. You help me, Lily." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No way. You did it, you fix it. I'm going to tell Mom." + +She ran out of the bathroom, leaving Tom alone with his mess. He wished he had used the potty before playing in the tub. He learned his lesson the hard way. +Lily liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would say funny things and then listen to them. She thought it was very fun. + +One day, she saw a big wheel in the park. It was red and shiny and had many seats. She wanted to ride on it. She ran to the wheel with her toy phone in her hand. + +But she was careless. She did not look where she was going. She bumped into a boy who was holding a balloon. The balloon popped and the boy cried. Lily felt sorry. She said sorry to the boy and gave him her toy phone. + +The boy stopped crying. He liked the toy phone. He said thank you to Lily and smiled. He asked her if she wanted to ride on the wheel with him. Lily said yes. + +They went to the wheel and got on a seat. They held the toy phone and recorded their voices. They said funny things and then listened to them. They laughed and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They had a lot of fun, but they also drank a lot of juice. Soon, they both felt a need to go to the toilet. + +"Tom, I need to go to the toilet. Do you know where it is?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded. He had seen a sign with a picture of a toilet near the entrance of the park. He took Lily's hand and said, "Come on, I will lead you to the toilet. It is not far." + +They walked quickly, holding their toys and their bladders. They reached the sign and followed the arrow. They saw a small building with a door that said "Toilet". + +They opened the door and went inside. There were two toilets, one for boys and one for girls. They each chose one and did their business. They felt much better. + +They washed their hands and dried them with a paper towel. They were about to leave, when they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not a playground, this is a toilet!" It was the park keeper, who was very grumpy. He had seen them enter the building and followed them. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not mean to make him angry. They just needed to go to the toilet. + +"Sorry, sir. We had to go to the toilet. We did not make a mess. We are leaving now," Tom said. + +The park keeper looked at them and saw that they were telling the truth. He was still grumpy, but he softened a bit. + +"Well, okay. But next time, ask your parents or someone else to lead you to the toilet. It is not safe for you to go alone. And don't play with the paper towels. They are not toys. They are for drying your hands," he said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Thank you, sir. We will remember that." + +They took their toys and left the building. They ran back to their parents, who were waiting for them on a bench. They told them what happened and hugged them. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to always ask for help when they need to go to the toilet. And they learned that some people are grumpy, but they can be nice too. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play basketball. They have a big ball and a hoop in the park. They go to the park every day after school. + +One day, they see a big bus in the street. The bus has many people and bags. The bus is very slow. It stops at the park. Tom and Lily are curious. They go to the bus. + +"Hello, who are you?" Tom asks a man on the bus. + +"We are a basketball team. We travel to many places and play games. We are here for a break. Do you like basketball?" the man says. + +"Yes, we love basketball. We play every day. Can we see your ball?" Lily says. + +"Sure, here you go. It is bigger and heavier than yours. Do you want to try it?" the man says. He gives them his ball. + +Tom and Lily are excited. They take the ball and run to the hoop. They try to throw the ball, but it is too hard. The ball is too big and heavy for them. They can't make it in the hoop. + +The man and his team laugh. They are not mean. They are friendly. They help Tom and Lily with the ball. They show them how to hold it, how to bounce it, how to pass it, and how to shoot it. Tom and Lily learn a lot. They have fun. + +"Thank you for teaching us. You are very good. We want to be like you when we grow up. Can we travel with you?" Tom says. + +"Sorry, you can't. You have to stay here and go to school. But you can keep practicing and playing. Maybe one day you will be on a basketball team too. Goodbye, Tom and Lily. Have fun!" the man says. + +He and his team get on the bus. The bus starts to move. Tom and Lily wave goodbye. They are happy. They have a new ball and new friends. They go back to the hoop and play some more. +Sara and Tom were hungry. They had no food in their home. Their mom and dad had gone to look for work, but they did not come back. Sara and Tom cried. + +They saw a big house across the street. It had a nice garden with flowers and fruits. They saw a lady in the kitchen. She was making bread and jam. Sara and Tom wanted some bread and jam. They decided to go to the big house and ask for some. + +They knocked on the door. The lady opened it. She looked angry. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked. + +"Please, lady, we are hungry. Can we have some bread and jam?" Sara said. + +"No, you can't. This is my bread and jam. Go away, you poor kids. You are dirty and rude. You don't belong here." The lady said. + +She slammed the door in their faces. Sara and Tom felt sad and scared. They did not know what to do. + +They saw a window that was open. They smelled the bread and jam. They climbed up to the window and looked inside. They saw a big pan with jam on the stove. They saw a loaf of bread on the table. They reached for the pan and the bread. They wanted to spread some jam on the bread and eat it. + +But the pan was hot. Very hot. It burned their hands. They screamed and dropped the pan. The jam spilled all over the floor. The lady heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Sara and Tom and the mess they made. She was very angry. She grabbed a broom and chased them out of the window. She hit them with the broom and shouted at them. + +"Get out of here, you thieves! You ruined my bread and jam. You are bad kids. You deserve to be hungry and alone. Go away and never come back!" She said. + +Sara and Tom ran away. They were hurt and hungry. They had no bread and jam. They had no home. They had no mom and dad. They cried. They wished they had a nice lady who would give them bread and jam and love them. But they had no one. They were poor and unhappy. The end. +Tom and Ann were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep were soft and fluffy and made funny noises. + +One day, Tom and Ann decided to sneak out of their bed and go to the barn. They wanted to see the sheep at night. They put on their coats and boots and tiptoed past their mom and dad's room. They opened the door and ran to the barn. + +The barn was dark and quiet, except for the sheep. The sheep were restless. They did not like the twins coming at night. They baaed and stamped and moved away from them. Tom and Ann tried to pet them, but the sheep ran from them. They chased them around the barn, but the sheep were faster and smarter. + +"Stop, stop, sheep!" Tom shouted. "We just want to play with you!" + +"Baa, baa, go away!" a sheep answered. "This is our time to sleep, not to play!" + +Tom and Ann were surprised. They did not know the sheep could talk. They felt scared and sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. + +"Sorry, sheep," Ann said. "We did not mean to bother you. We just like you a lot." + +"Baa, baa, we like you too, but not at night," the sheep said. "Night is for sleeping, day is for playing. Go back to your bed and we will see you tomorrow." + +Tom and Ann nodded. They regretted coming to the barn at night. They said goodbye to the sheep and ran back to their house. They hoped their mom and dad did not hear them. They crawled into their bed and fell asleep. They dreamed of playing with the sheep in the morning. +Lily and Max loved to play at the beach. They liked to dig holes in the sand and fill them with water. They also liked to find shells and rocks and bury them in their holes. They pretended they were pirates hiding their treasure. + +One day, they found a shiny necklace on the sand. It had a big red stone that sparkled in the sun. Lily and Max thought it was the most beautiful thing they ever saw. They decided to bury it in their biggest hole and cover it with sand. They made a big X with sticks to mark the spot. + +"Let's go get some ice cream," Max said. "We can come back later and dig up our treasure." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to remember where we buried it. I don't want to lose it." + +They ran to the ice cream truck and bought two cones. They licked their ice cream and smiled. They felt very happy and proud of their treasure. + +But when they came back to the beach, they saw a big problem. The tide had come in and washed away their hole and their X. The sand was smooth and wet. There was no sign of their treasure. + +Lily and Max felt very worried and sad. They looked everywhere for their necklace, but they could not find it. They wondered if someone else had found it and taken it. They wondered if it was gone forever. + +"Where is our treasure?" Lily cried. "We worked so hard to bury it. It was so pretty. I wanted to keep it." + +"I don't know," Max said. "Maybe it's still here somewhere. Maybe we can find it tomorrow. Maybe the sea will give it back to us." + +They hugged each other and hoped that Max was right. They hoped that their treasure was not lost forever. They hoped that they would see it again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big porch with a swing and a slide. One sunny day, they decided to have a race. They would spring from the swing and run to the slide as fast as they could. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted and jumped off the swing. Ben followed her and tried to catch up. They ran and ran, but Lily was faster. She reached the slide first and slid down with a big smile. + +"I win, I win!" she cheered. Ben was sad. He wanted to win too. He pouted and crossed his arms. + +"No fair, you cheated!" he said. "You started before me!" + +Lily shook her head. "No, I didn't. You were just slow. Don't be a sore loser, Ben. It's just a game." + +Ben didn't like that. He was angry and hurt. He pushed Lily off the slide and made her fall. Lily cried out and scraped her knee. She felt pain and tears in her eyes. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" she asked. "That was mean and bad. You hurt me!" + +Ben felt sorry. He saw that he made Lily cry and bleed. He knew he was wrong. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mad and silly. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are my sister and I love you. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily nodded and hugged him back. She loved him too. She said she forgave him. They went to the porch and asked their mom for a band-aid and a kiss. Mom was happy to see them obedient and kind. She gave them what they needed and told them to be careful and gentle. Lily and Ben said they would. They learned their lesson and played nicely on the porch. +Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the house. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to the kitchen and saw a big mop leaning against the wall. She thought it was a good place to hide behind. She moved the mop a little and squeezed behind it. + +Ben counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked around the living room, the bedroom, and the bathroom, but he could not find Lily. He wondered where she was. He went to the kitchen and saw the mop. He thought it looked funny. He walked closer and saw a pair of feet sticking out from behind it. He smiled and said, "I found you, Lily!" + +Lily heard Ben's voice and tried to stay quiet. She hoped he would not see her. But then she felt something tickle her nose. She looked up and saw a hairy spider hanging from the mop. She screamed and jumped out from behind the mop. She ran to Ben and hugged him. She was scared of the spider. + +Ben saw the spider and laughed. He was not scared of it. He said, "Don't worry, Lily, it's just a spider. It won't hurt you. It's more afraid of you than you are of it." He picked up the spider and put it outside. He said, "See, it's gone now. Do you want to play again?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, but can I be the seeker this time? And can we play somewhere else? I don't like the kitchen. It has too many spiders." + +Ben agreed and said, "Okay, let's play in the garden. It has more places to hide. And no spiders." He and Lily ran outside and started a new game of hide and seek. They had fun and forgot about the hairy spider. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to read books together. Sara has a big book with many pages. Tom has a small book with few pages. + +One day, Sara and Tom are reading in the park. Sara turns a page and sees a picture of a lion. She says, "Look, Tom, a lion! It is big and yellow and has a long tail. Do you like lions?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, I like lions. They are strong and brave and roar loud. But my book does not have lions. It has dogs. They are small and brown and have short tails. Do you like dogs?" + +Sara shakes her head and says, "No, I do not like dogs. They are noisy and dirty and bite. Lions are better than dogs. My book is better than your book." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He says, "No, dogs are better than lions. They are friendly and loyal and bark. Your book is not better than my book. My book is better than your book." + +Sara and Tom start to argue. They raise their voices and say mean things. They do not want to share their books or be friends anymore. + +A lady who works in the park hears them. She walks over and says, "What is the matter, children? Why are you fighting?" + +Sara and Tom stop arguing and look at the lady. They tell her about their books and their animals. The lady listens and smiles. She says, "I see. You both like different things. But that does not mean you have to be angry or rude. You can still be friends and respect each other's choices. Why don't you try to find something in common in your books? Maybe you can learn something new or have fun together." + +Sara and Tom think about what the lady says. They look at their books again. They notice that both books have words and pictures and colors and stories. They also notice that both books have other animals besides lions and dogs. They see birds and fish and elephants and cats. + +Sara says, "Hey, Tom, look at this page. It has a bird. It is blue and red and has a long beak. Do you like birds?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I like birds. They are pretty and sing and fly. Look at this page. It has a fish. It is green and orange and has a short fin. Do you like fish?" + +Sara says, "Yes, I like fish. They are shiny and swim and splash. Look at this page. It has an elephant. It is gray and big and has a long trunk. Do you like elephants?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I like elephants. They are smart and gentle and trumpet. Look at this page. It has a cat. It is black and small and has a long tail. Do you like cats?" + +Sara says, "Yes, I like cats. They are cute and soft and purr. Tom, I'm sorry I was mean to you. Your book is nice. Can I see it?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I'm sorry I was mean to you. Your book is nice. Can I see it?" + +Sara and Tom swap their books and look at them. They find more things to talk about and laugh about. They thank the lady for her help and say sorry to her. The lady says, "You're welcome, children. I'm glad you're friends again. Enjoy your books and your animals." + +Sara and Tom are happy. They hug each other and hug their books. They sit together and read and learn and have fun. They do not fight anymore. They are good friends. +Tim and Lily were playing in the forest. They liked to look at the trees and the animals. They saw a big tree with many leaves. Tim said, "I want to climb that tree. It is so tall and green." + +Lily said, "Be careful, Tim. The tree is very old and strong. You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Tim did not listen to Lily. He ran to the tree and tried to climb it. He grabbed a branch and pulled himself up. But the branch was weak and broke. Tim fell to the ground with a loud thud. + +Lily ran to Tim and asked, "Are you okay, Tim? Did you hurt yourself?" + +Tim was not okay. He had a big cut on his arm. It was bleeding and dirty. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow. It hurts, Lily. I want to go home." + +Lily saw an axe near the tree. It was rusty and dirty. Someone had left it there. Lily said, "I have an idea, Tim. I can use this axe to cut a piece of cloth from my dress. Then I can wrap it around your arm. It will stop the bleeding and make you feel better." + +Tim said, "Really, Lily? You would do that for me? But your dress is so pretty and clean. I don't want to ruin it." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Tim. I don't care about my dress. I care about you. You are my best friend. I admire you for being brave and adventurous. But next time, please listen to me when I tell you to be careful." + +Lily took the axe and cut a piece of cloth from her dress. She wrapped it around Tim's arm and tied a knot. Tim felt better and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and smart. I admire you for being helpful and caring. You are my best friend too." + +They hugged and walked back to their home. They told their parents what happened. Their parents were glad that they were safe and that they helped each other. They gave them a hug and a kiss and said, "We love you, Tim and Lily. You are very good children." +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the top floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they took the elevator to go down and see the park or the shops. The elevator was a big metal box with buttons and a door that opened and closed. + +One day, Lily and Max wanted to play a game. They decided to see who could push the most buttons on the elevator. They ran inside the box and started to push the buttons with their fingers. The box made noises and moved up and down. Lily and Max laughed and pushed more buttons. + +But then, the box stopped moving. The door did not open. The lights went off. Lily and Max were scared. They cried and yelled for help. They wanted to quit the game and go back to their mom and dad. + +A man with a brown hat and a brown coat heard them. He was a worker who fixed the elevator. He used a tool to open the door. He saw Lily and Max inside the dark box. He was not happy. He said, "You should not play with the buttons. You broke the elevator. You have to quit doing that." + +Lily and Max said they were sorry. They hugged the man and thanked him. He took them out of the box and to their mom and dad. They were happy to see them. They said they would not play with the elevator buttons again. They learned their lesson. They quit the game for good. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big, brown cactus in the garden. It had many sharp spikes on it. + +"Look, Lily, a cactus!" Ben said. "I want to touch it." + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It will hurt you. Mom said so." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He wanted to see what the cactus felt like. He reached out his hand and touched the cactus. Ouch! He felt a sharp pain in his finger. He pulled back his hand and saw a drop of blood. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She was worried about her brother. + +Ben did not want to admit that he was wrong. He did not want to say sorry to Lily. He lied to her. He said, "I'm fine. The cactus did not hurt me. It was soft and nice." + +Lily did not believe Ben. She saw his finger bleeding. She knew he was lying. She was angry and sad. She said, "Ben, you are lying. You are not fine. The cactus hurt you. You should not lie to me. I am your sister. I love you. You should love me too." + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew he was lying. He knew he hurt Lily's feelings. He knew he should not lie to anyone. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. You are right. The cactus hurt me. I lied to you. I was wrong. I love you too. Please forgive me." + +Lily hugged Ben. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. But please don't lie to me again. And please don't touch the cactus again. It is dangerous. Let's go inside and get a band-aid for your finger." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Okay, Lily. Thank you. Let's go inside." + +They went inside and Mom helped Ben with his finger. She also praised Lily for being a good sister. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You were brave and smart. You warned Ben about the cactus. You cared for him when he was hurt. You told him the truth. You forgave him when he said sorry. You are a good sister." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Ben smiled too. He said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you too. And I love Lily. She is a good sister. I will not lie to her again. I will listen to her and to you. I will be a good brother." + +Mom hugged them both. She said, "I love you both. You are good children. You learned a valuable lesson today. Lying is bad. It hurts yourself and others. Telling the truth is good. It helps yourself and others. Always tell the truth and be kind to each other." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We will." + +They learned their lesson. They never lied again. They never touched the cactus again. They always told the truth and were kind to each other. They were happy and loved. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big blanket that they used to make a tent under a tree. They pretended they were wealthy kings and queens who lived in a castle. + +One day, a mean boy named Tom saw them playing. He wanted to take their blanket and make fun of them. He sneaked behind the tree and grabbed the blanket. He ran away with it, laughing. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lila shouted. "That's ours!" + +Ben chased after Tom, but he was too fast. Tom climbed up a fence and hung the blanket on a sharp wire. He made a hole in the blanket and tore it. + +"Ha ha, look at your stupid blanket now!" Tom said. "You are not wealthy, you are poor and silly!" + +Lila and Ben felt very sad and angry. They cried and hugged each other. They did not have their blanket anymore. They did not want to play in the park anymore. They went home and told their moms what happened. Their moms were sorry and hugged them too. They said they would try to fix the blanket or buy a new one. + +But Lila and Ben knew it would not be the same. They had lost their favorite blanket and their fun game. They wished Tom would be nice and say sorry. But he never did. He was a mean boy who liked to hurt others. Lila and Ben did not like him at all. They hoped he would learn to be kind someday. But they did not want to play with him ever again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a ball, a bike, and a swing. They take turns and share. They are kind. + +One day, it is very hot. Lily and Ben are tired. They want to relax. They find a big tree. The tree has shade and cool air. They sit under the tree. They drink water and eat snacks. They talk and giggle. They are happy. + +The tree is also happy. It likes to have Lily and Ben under its branches. It gives them shade and cool air. It listens to their talk and giggle. It is kind. + +Lily and Ben say thank you to the tree. They hug the tree. They say goodbye to the tree. They go back to their homes. They tell their moms and dads about the tree. They say they love the tree. They want to come back to the tree. The tree waits for them. It loves them too. +Lily was a little mouse who lived in a big field of wheat. She liked to run and play with her friends, but she also liked to sleep a lot. Sometimes, she slept so much that she missed the fun and the food. + +One day, her friend Ben came to her nest and said, "Lily, wake up! There is a big feast in the barn. The farmer left some cheese and bread and corn. Come with me and we can eat and have fun!" + +Lily rubbed her eyes and yawned. She said, "I'm too sleepy, Ben. I don't want to go. You go and have fun. I'll stay here and sleep." + +Ben shook his head and said, "Lily, you are missing out. If you sleep too much, you will miss the good things in life. And you will also miss your friends. Come on, please. It's not good to sleep all day." + +Lily sighed and said, "Fine, Ben. I'll go with you. But only for a little while. Then I'll come back and sleep." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You'll see, it will be fun. And you'll be happy." + +So Lily and Ben left the wheat field and went to the barn. There, they found many other mice who were eating and playing and laughing. Lily saw how happy they were and how much they enjoyed the feast. She also tasted the cheese and the bread and the corn and found them delicious. She played with her friends and forgot about sleeping. + +She said to Ben, "You were right, Ben. This is fun. And I'm happy. I'm glad I came with you. Thank you for being my friend." + +Ben said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm happy too. And I'm glad you're my friend. But don't forget, sleeping is also important. We need to sleep to rest and grow and be healthy. But we also need to wake up and enjoy life and be with our friends. We need to find a balance." + +Lily nodded and said, "You're right, Ben. We need to find a balance. Let's eat and play a little more, and then we'll go back to our nests and sleep. But not too much. Just enough." + +And that's what they did. They ate and played a little more, and then they went back to their nests and slept. But not too much. Just enough. And they were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sleeping is good, but too much sleeping is bad. We need to wake up and enjoy life and be with our friends. We need to find a balance. +Sara and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train. The train has many cars and can make noise. Sara and Tom like to make the train go around the room on the tracks. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing with the train. Sara has the engine and Tom has the caboose. They make the train pass by the door, the window, and the table. They have fun and laugh. + +"Look, Tom, what is that?" Sara says, pointing to a figure on the shelf. The figure is wide and has a funny face. It is a clown. + +"I don't know, Sara. It looks scary," Tom says, looking at the figure. He does not like clowns. They make him feel afraid. + +"Let's go see it," Sara says, leaving the train. She is curious and brave. She wants to touch the figure. + +"No, Sara, don't go. It might jump at you," Tom says, holding the caboose. He wants Sara to stay with him and the train. + +Sara does not listen to Tom. She walks to the shelf and reaches for the figure. She wants to see if it is soft or hard. But when she touches the figure, it makes a loud noise. It says, "Boo!" + +Sara is scared. She drops the figure and runs back to Tom. She hugs him and cries. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom says, hugging her back. He is glad she is safe. + +"Yes, Tom, I'm okay. But I don't like that figure. It is mean and loud," Sara says, wiping her tears. + +"Me neither, Sara. Let's forget about it and play with the train. The train is nice and quiet," Tom says, picking up the engine. + +"Okay, Tom. Let's play with the train. The train is fun and fast," Sara says, smiling. + +They take the train and make it pass by the door, the window, and the table again. They forget about the figure and have fun and laugh. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a nest on top. They want to see the nest and the birds inside. + +"Let's climb the tree!" Tom says. "We can balance on the branches and look at the nest." + +"Okay!" Mia says. "But be careful. The nest is very high and the branches are very thin." + +They start to climb the tree. They hold on to the trunk and the leaves. They go higher and higher. They see the nest. It is made of sticks and feathers. They hear the birds chirping. + +"Wow! Look at the nest!" Tom says. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it." + +"No, Tom. Don't touch it. The birds will be angry. And you might fall." Mia says. + +But Tom does not listen. He reaches out his hand to the nest. He tries to balance on one branch. But the branch is too weak. It breaks. Tom loses his balance. He falls. + +"Tom!" Mia screams. "Help! Help!" + +She looks down. She sees Tom on the ground. He is not moving. He is bleeding. She cries. She is scared. + +She hears a distant siren. She sees a red car with a blue light. It is coming to the park. It is too late. Tom is gone. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She also had a lot of clothes for her dolls. Her favorite dress was a red velvet one. It was soft and shiny and made her doll look like a princess. + +One day, Anna decided to have a tea party with her dolls. She set up a table and chairs in the living room. She brought her tea set and some cookies from the kitchen. She put the red velvet dress on her doll and invited her other dolls to join. She was very happy and pretended to serve them tea and cookies. + +But Anna did not see that her little brother Tom was watching her. Tom was bored and wanted to play too. He saw the red velvet dress and thought it was pretty. He wanted to touch it and see how it felt. He waited until Anna was busy with her tea set and then he sneaked into the dollhouse. He grabbed the doll with the red velvet dress and ran away. + +Anna heard a noise and turned around. She saw Tom running with her doll. She was very angry and sad. She shouted at Tom and chased him. She wanted her doll back. She loved her doll and the red velvet dress. + +Tom ran into his room and locked the door. He threw the doll on his bed and looked at the red velvet dress. He rubbed it with his hands and smiled. He liked the way it felt. He did not care that Anna was crying outside his door. He did not care that he was mean and naughty. He only cared about the red velvet dress. He did not know that the dress was not clean. He did not know that Anna had spilled some tea on it before. He did not know that the tea had sugar and that sugar attracts ants. He did not know that there were many ants in his room, looking for food. He did not know that the ants had found the red velvet dress and were crawling all over it. He did not know that he was in for a big surprise. +Jen and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Jen saw a red pepper on a plant. She wanted to pick it and show Sam. + +"Look, Sam, a red pepper!" Jen said. She reached for the pepper. + +But the pepper was hot and spicy. Jen did not know that. She touched the pepper and it burned her hand. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Jen said. She dropped the pepper and ran to Sam. + +Sam saw Jen was upset. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Jen. I'm sorry the pepper hurt you. Let me see your hand." + +He took Jen's hand and blew on it gently. He saw a small red spot on her finger. He said, "You need some water and a band-aid. Come on, let's go to Mom." + +They walked to the house. The sun was shining in the sky. It made the pepper look shiny and pretty. But Jen did not like the pepper anymore. She liked Sam. He was a good friend. He helped her feel better. +Lily was lonely. She had no friends to play with. Her mom and dad were busy working. She only had her cat, Mimi, to keep her company. Lily liked Mimi, but Mimi did not like to play much. She liked to sleep and eat and lick her fur. + +One day, Lily decided to make some soup for Mimi. She found a can of soup in the kitchen and opened it with a can opener. She poured the soup into a bowl and put it in the microwave. She pressed some buttons and waited for the beep. She thought Mimi would like the soup. It smelled good and warm. + +She took the bowl out of the microwave and carried it to the living room. She saw Mimi sleeping on the couch. She put the bowl on the floor and called, "Mimi, Mimi, I made you some soup. Come and try it. It is yummy." + +Mimi opened her eyes and looked at Lily. She saw the bowl of soup and sniffed it. She did not like the soup. It was not cat food. It was chicken noodle soup. She turned her head away and yawned. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted Mimi to like the soup. She wanted Mimi to play with her. She picked up the bowl and said, "Fine, Mimi, if you don't want the soup, I will eat it myself. Maybe it will make me feel better." + +She took a spoon and tasted the soup. It was hot and spicy. It burned her tongue and throat. She coughed and sputtered. She felt a tickle in her nose. She sneezed. She sneezed so hard that the soup flew out of her mouth and splashed on Mimi. + +Mimi was not happy. She was wet and sticky. She jumped off the couch and ran away. She hissed and spat at Lily. She hid under the bed and did not come out. + +Lily was sorry. She did not mean to sneeze on Mimi. She wanted to say sorry and hug Mimi. She put the bowl and the spoon in the sink and went to look for Mimi. She looked under the bed and saw Mimi's eyes. She said, "Mimi, Mimi, I am sorry. I did not mean to sneeze on you. Please come out and play with me. I am lonely." + +Mimi looked at Lily. She saw that Lily was sorry. She saw that Lily was lonely. She felt a little sorry for Lily. She felt a little lonely too. She crawled out from under the bed and rubbed her head against Lily's leg. She purred and meowed. + +Lily smiled and picked up Mimi. She hugged her and kissed her. She said, "Thank you, Mimi, for forgiving me. You are my best friend. I love you." + +Mimi licked Lily's face and snuggled in her arms. She said, "Meow, meow, meow." + +They were not lonely anymore. They had each other. They were happy. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good helper and learn new things. One day, her mom showed her how to use the dishwasher. She said, "This is the dishwasher. It washes the dishes for us. It is very reliable. It does not break or make mistakes. Do you want to help me load the dishes?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She followed her mom to the sink, where they rinsed the plates and cups. Then they put them in the dishwasher, one by one. Anna liked to hear the clink and clank of the dishes. She said, "I like the dishwasher. It is fun and easy. Can I turn it on?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, we need to add some soap. This is the soap. It makes the dishes clean and shiny. Can you put it in this little door?" She pointed to a small compartment in the dishwasher. + +Anna took the soap and opened the door. She put the soap inside and closed it. She said, "I did it! I put the soap in the door. Now can I turn it on?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. This is the button. It starts the dishwasher. It makes a loud noise and some water. Do not touch it again until it is done. OK?" She showed Anna the button. + +Anna nodded and pressed the button. She heard a hum and a whoosh. She saw some steam and bubbles. She said, "Wow! The dishwasher is working. It is washing the dishes for us. It is very reliable. Thank you, mom, for teaching me how to use the dishwasher. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are a very good helper and a very smart girl. I am proud of you." They watched the dishwasher together, until it was done. Then they unloaded the dishes and put them away. Anna felt happy and proud. She liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to use the dishwasher. It was fun and easy. It was very reliable. +Tom and Lily liked to play outside after school. They liked to run, jump, and climb on the big hill near their house. Sometimes they saw weird things on the hill, like a big bird with a long tail, or a shiny rock that made noises. + +One day, they saw something very weird on the hill. It was a big house with a tall pointy roof and a cross on top. It looked like a church, but it was not like the church they went to on Sundays. This church was old and dark and had no windows or doors. + +"Let's go see the church!" Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, it's scary!" Lily said. She was shy and careful. + +"Come on, it will be fun!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and ran towards the church. + +They got closer and closer to the church, and they saw that it was not really a house. It was made of metal and wires and had strange machines inside. It looked like a spaceship, but it was not like the spaceship they saw on TV. This spaceship was broken and dirty and had no lights or sounds. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Tom said. He wanted to touch the spaceship and see what it did. + +"Stop, this is bad!" Lily said. She wanted to go back to the hill and play with their toys. + +But before they could do anything, they heard a loud voice from the spaceship. It said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my home!" + +Tom and Lily were very scared. They did not know who the voice was or what it wanted. They turned around and ran away from the spaceship as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house and told their mom what they saw. + +Their mom did not believe them. She said, "You have a big imagination. There is no church or spaceship on the hill. It's just a pile of junk. Now go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." + +Tom and Lily did not argue. They knew what they saw, but they also knew that it was weird and dangerous. They decided to never go near the hill again. They preferred to play in their backyard, where nothing shone or spoke or scared them. +John and his mommy were cool. Together they went to the airport to watch the aeroplanes take off and land. +The little boy was very excited. He pointed to one big aeroplane and asked his mommy, "What is that?" + +She replied, "That is an aeroplane. It weighs a lot, but it can fly. Isn't that attractive?" + +John couldn't believe his eyes - an aeroplane was able to fly! He thought it looked very cool and was amazed. + +The aeroplane disappeared into the clouds, and soon it was gone. But John knew that he could go to the airport again soon to see the aeroplane and others like it. The little boy was very happy. +Once upon a time, there was a group of people who wanted to be independent. They worked hard to make it happen. Then, one day, a war started. The war was bad and lasted a long time. Everybody was very sad. + +But in the end, the people became independent. They had done it! Everyone was so happy and celebrated.

He said, "If we unite, we can play and have fun all day. What do you think?" + +Lily smiled. She agreed, and soon the two puppies were running around and having lots of fun. They became best friends, and from then on always stayed together and had a wonderful time. + +The two young puppies were never apart, they stayed together and were the best of friends. + +The end. +Adam was a three year old boy.

The cars are making a lot of noise" said her mom. + +The traffic noise was very loud and it got even louder. Annie started to cry and yelled out of fear. + +"Oh, don't worry. We will go another way where it's quieter" said her mom, taking Annie's hand. + +They found a quiet street and the traffic noise was gone. Annie felt relieved and smiled. + +"It's much better here.

They create a new world with blocks and a box. +Tom and Lily are playing in the yard. They see a big box with some nails and a hammer. Tom wants to make a house with the box. He says to Lily, "Let's make a house. You hold the box and I will nail it." + +Lily nods and holds the box. Tom takes a nail and the hammer. He tries to hit the nail with the hammer, but he misses. The nail falls on the ground. Tom says, "Oops! I need to stand closer to the box." He stands closer to the box and tries again. This time he hits the nail, but it hurts his finger. He says, "Ouch! That hurts!" He drops the hammer and the nail. + +Lily says, "Are you okay, Tom?" She lets go of the box and runs to Tom. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Do you want a band-aid?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. And some juice. I'm hungry." Lily says, "Okay, let's go inside. We can make the house later." She takes Tom's hand and they go inside. They leave the box, the nails and the hammer in the yard. +Anna likes to play with her toys. She has a doll, a bear, a ball and a book. She likes to make them talk and do things. She likes to read the book too. It has many pictures and words. + +One day, Anna finds a new toy in her room. It is a wand. It is shiny and has a star on the end. Anna thinks it is a magic wand. She picks it up and waves it at her toys. She says, "Abracadabra!" + +Something happens. Her toys start to move and talk by themselves. The doll says, "Hello, Anna. I am your friend." The bear says, "Me too. I like to hug you." The ball says, "Let's play. I can bounce and roll." The book says, "I can teach you new words. Do you want to learn a spell?" + +Anna is surprised and happy. She says, "Wow! You can talk! How did you do that?" The wand says, "I am a magic wand. I can make your wishes come true. You wished for your toys to be alive, so I did it. Do you like it?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I like it very much. Thank you, wand. You are very nice. Can you teach me a spell?" The wand says, "Sure. I can teach you a simple spell. You just have to say the word and wave me. The word is 'long'. It can make things longer or shorter. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I want to try it. What can I make longer or shorter?" The wand says, "You can choose anything you want. How about your hair? Do you want to make it longer or shorter?" Anna says, "I want to make it longer. I like long hair. How do I do it?" + +The wand says, "You just have to say 'long' and wave me at your hair. Like this. Long!" The wand waves at Anna's hair. Anna feels her hair grow longer and longer. It reaches her shoulders, her back, her waist, her knees. Anna says, "Wow! My hair is so long! It is like Rapunzel's hair. I love it!" + +The wand says, "You're welcome, Anna. You did a good spell. Do you want to try something else?" Anna says, "Yes, I want to try more spells. This is fun. Thank you, wand. You are the best toy ever!" +Tom and Mia like to play with their toy train. They have a big track with bridges and tunnels and stations. They make the train go fast and slow and stop and start. They pretend they are the drivers and the passengers. + +One day, they want to make their train more real. They ask their mom for some water and a pot. They put the water in the pot and put the pot on the stove. They turn on the stove and wait for the water to get hot. + +"Look, Mia!" Tom says. "The water is making steam! Just like a real train!" + +Mia nods. She takes a ruler and tries to measure the steam. She holds the ruler near the pot and says, "The steam is very high. It is higher than the ruler!" + +Tom wants to measure the steam too. He reaches for the ruler, but he is not careful. He touches the pot and burns his hand. He drops the ruler and cries, "Ow! Ow! Ow! The pot is very hot! It made my hand wet and red!" + +Mom hears Tom cry and runs to the kitchen. She sees the pot and the steam and the ruler and the toy train. She turns off the stove and takes Tom's hand. She puts it under cold water and says, "Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. You should not touch the pot. It is dangerous. The steam is hot too. It can hurt you. You have to be careful when you play with water and fire." + +Tom stops crying and says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to measure the steam like Mia. But I was not careful. I will not touch the pot again." + +Mom hugs Tom and says, "It's okay, Tom. I know you were curious. But you have to be safe. Next time, you can measure the steam with your eyes, not with your hand. And you can use your imagination, not the stove, to make your train more real." + +Tom and Mia nod. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too. Now, let's go and play with your train. But first, let me dry your hand and put a bandage on it." +Lily liked to learn new things. She had a tutor who came to her house every week. The tutor was nice and taught her how to read and write and count. Lily wanted to be smart like her tutor. + +One day, Lily was waiting for her tutor to come. She saw a big book on the shelf. It had many letters and pictures on the cover. Lily wanted to see what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the book. But the book was too heavy and it fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the book and the chair and Lily. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? This book is not for you. It is for grown-ups. You could have hurt yourself. Go to your room and wait for your tutor. And don't touch anything else." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make a mess. She just wanted to learn. She went to her room and closed the door. She saw a key on the door. She thought, maybe if I lock the door, mom will not be mad at me. She turned the key and heard a click. She locked the door. + +Soon, she heard a knock on the door. It was her tutor. He said, "Lily, are you there? It's time for our lesson. Can you open the door?" Lily tried to open the door, but it did not move. She said, "I'm sorry, tutor. I locked the door and I don't know how to unlock it." + +The tutor said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. Can you find the key and put it in the hole?" Lily looked for the key, but she could not find it. She said, "I don't know where the key is. I think I dropped it." + +The tutor said, "It's okay, Lily. We will find another way. Maybe your mom has a spare key. I will go and ask her. Stay calm and don't be afraid. I will be back soon." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She wished she had not locked the door. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she could have a normal lesson with her tutor. She hoped he would not be angry with her. She waited for him to come back and unlock the door. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a new bicycle near the park. It is big and red and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that bicycle!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to ride it." + +Tom nods. He likes the bicycle too. He says, "Maybe we can ask the owner. Maybe they will let us try it." + +They walk to the bicycle. They do not see anyone around. They are curious. They touch the bicycle. They feel the wheels and the seat and the bell. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice. It is loud and angry. It says, "Hey, what are you doing? That is my bicycle. Get away from it!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They turn around. They see a big boy. He has a frown and a baseball cap. He is the owner of the bicycle. + +"Sorry, sorry," Lily says. "We just wanted to see it. We did not mean to hurt it." + +"Yeah, sorry," Tom says. "We like your bicycle. It is very nice." + +The big boy snorts. He says, "You are very nosy. You should not touch other people's things. Go away and play with your own toys." + +Lily and Tom feel sad. They say, "Okay, okay. We are sorry. We will go away." + +They run back to the park. They do not look at the bicycle anymore. They think the big boy is mean. They wish he was nicer. They wish they had a bicycle too. +Lily and Tom like to play outside. They have a big yard with grass and flowers and a sandbox. Sometimes they dig in the sand and make castles and roads and bridges. They have fun with their toys and their imagination. + +One day, it rains a lot. The sky is gray and the water falls from the clouds. Lily and Tom watch from the window and feel bored. They want to go outside and play, but their mom says no. She says it is too wet and cold and they will get sick. + +But Lily and Tom are curious. They wonder what the yard looks like after the rain. They wait until their mom is busy in the kitchen and sneak out the back door. They put on their boots and coats and run to the yard. + +They see that the sand is not dry anymore. It is wet and sticky and brown. It is mud. Lily and Tom touch the mud and feel how soft and squishy it is. They think it is fun to play with. They scoop up the mud and make balls and cakes and animals. They laugh and giggle and throw the mud at each other. They are filthy. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to the window. She sees Lily and Tom covered in mud. She is angry and shocked. She yells at them to come inside and take a bath. She says they are naughty and dirty and they have to clean up. Lily and Tom stop playing and look at their mom. They feel sorry and scared. They run to the door and say sorry to their mom. They hope she will forgive them. They still think the mud was fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It is a diamond. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and sparkly!" + +"Where did it come from?" Ben asks. "Maybe someone lost it." + +"Or maybe it is a magic diamond!" Anna says. "Maybe it can make wishes come true!" + +They take the diamond to a bench and watch it. They hope it will do something mysterious. They wait and wait, but nothing happens. + +"Maybe we need to say a magic word," Ben says. "Like abracadabra or hocus pocus." + +"OK, let's try," Anna says. "Abracadabra, make us fly!" + +They hold the diamond and say the word. But nothing happens. They are still on the bench. + +"Maybe it is not a magic diamond," Ben says. "Maybe it is just a normal diamond." + +"Or maybe we need to find the owner," Anna says. "Maybe they are looking for it and they are sad." + +They look around the park. They see a lady with a necklace. The necklace has a hole where a diamond should be. + +"Excuse me, lady," Anna says. "Is this your diamond?" + +The lady looks at the diamond. She smiles and hugs Anna and Ben. + +"Yes, it is! Thank you so much! You are very kind and honest!" + +She puts the diamond back in her necklace. It sparkles in the sun. + +"You are welcome," Anna and Ben say. + +They are happy. They helped the lady and they saw a beautiful diamond. They don't need magic. They have each other. +Tom liked to ride the bus with his mom. He liked to see the big houses and the trees and the cars. He liked to say hello to the driver. The driver was old and had white hair and glasses. He always smiled at Tom and gave him a sticker. + +One day, Tom and his mom got on the bus, but the driver was not the same. He was young and had black hair and no glasses. He did not smile at Tom and he did not have any stickers. Tom felt sad and scared. He missed the old driver. + +Tom's mom saw that he was unhappy. She hugged him and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The old driver is on vacation. He will be back soon. He told me to tell you that he remembers you and he misses you too. He will bring you a new sticker when he comes back." + +Tom felt a little better. He hoped that the old driver was having fun on his vacation. He wondered what kind of sticker he would bring him. He decided to remember the old driver and wait for him to come back. He smiled at his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." +Ben and Mia liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. One day, they decided to be knights and princesses. They put on helmets, capes, and swords. Mia also wore a shiny crown. + +They went to the backyard, where they had a big castle made of cardboard. They pretended to guard the castle from enemies. They had a lot of fun. But then, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a dragon in the sky. The dragon was green and scaly, with big wings and sharp teeth. + +"Help! A dragon!" Mia shouted. She ran inside the castle and hid. Ben was scared, but he wanted to be brave. He held his sword and shouted at the dragon. "Go away, dragon! You can't have our castle!" + +The dragon flew closer and looked at Ben. He saw the sword and the helmet. He was confused. He did not understand why the little knight was so angry. He did not want to fight. He just wanted to play. He opened his mouth and said, "Hello, knight. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect the dragon to talk. He did not know what to say. He lowered his sword and looked at the dragon. He saw that the dragon was smiling and wagging his tail. He realized that the dragon was not mean. He was just lonely. + +"Hello, dragon. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I thought you were going to hurt us," Ben said. He smiled back at the dragon. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dragon nodded and landed on the ground. He was very big, but gentle. He followed Ben to the castle, where Mia was hiding. Ben introduced the dragon to Mia. Mia was scared at first, but then she saw that the dragon was friendly. She came out of the castle and said hello. + +The dragon was happy. He had found new friends. He played with Ben and Mia. They rode on his back, chased each other, and shared their toys. They laughed a lot. They had the best time ever. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. Tom has a red car and Mia has a blue car. They make noises with their mouths when they move the cars. Zoom, zoom, zoom! + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big yellow car. It has lights and sounds. It can go very fast. The boy says, "Look at my car. It is the best. It has style. Your cars are stupid. They are small and quiet. You are stupid too." + +Tom and Mia feel sad. They do not like the new boy. He is mean. They do not want to play with him. They say, "No, you are stupid. Your car is too loud. It hurts our ears. Your car is not fun. It is boring. Our cars are better. They are fun and colorful. We have style too. We are not stupid. You are." + +The new boy gets angry. He tries to chase Tom and Mia with his car. He wants to make them cry. But his car is too big. It gets stuck in the sand. It stops working. The boy cries. He says, "Help me. My car is broken. I want my mom." + +Tom and Mia see the boy crying. They feel sorry for him. They are kind. They go to help him. They say, "It is okay. We can help you. We can fix your car. We can be friends. We can share our cars. We can play together. Zoom, zoom, zoom!" +Tom and Lily were at the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They were very happy and excited. But they also felt very tired, because they woke up very early to go to the zoo. + +They came to the big pool where the dolphins lived. The dolphins were jumping and splashing in the water. They made funny noises and smiled at the people. Tom and Lily wanted to see them up close, so they went to the edge of the pool. + +"Hello, dolphins!" Tom said. "You are very smart and pretty. Can you do a trick for us?" + +One of the dolphins heard Tom and swam to him. He nodded his head and did a flip in the air. Tom and Lily clapped and laughed. The dolphin was happy too. He came closer and looked at them with his big eyes. + +"Thank you, dolphin!" Lily said. "You are very kind and friendly. Can we touch you?" + +The dolphin nodded again and let Tom and Lily touch his skin. It was wet and smooth and thick. Tom and Lily felt how warm and strong he was. They stroked his back and his fin. The dolphin made a happy noise and rubbed his nose against their hands. + +"You are very gentle and brave," the dolphin said. "You are not afraid of me. I like you." + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know that dolphins could talk. They looked at their mom and dad, who smiled and nodded. + +"Dolphins can talk, but only to people who are nice to them," their mom said. "They are very smart and sensitive animals. They can feel your love and respect." + +Tom and Lily learned something new that day. They learned that dolphins are amazing creatures, and that they should always be nice to animals. They also learned that they should not yawn when they talk to dolphins, because that is rude. They said goodbye to the dolphin and thanked him for his tricks and his words. They went home with their mom and dad, feeling happy and sleepy. They dreamed of dolphins that night. +Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their toy cars and dolls. They liked to pretend they were in a big adventure, with heroes and villains, and lots of action. Sometimes they would chase each other, or hide behind the trees, or make loud noises. + +One day, they saw a new animal in the park. It was black and white, and had a round face and a fluffy tail.

Mia asked. + +"It's a special kind of bear that lives far away. It eats bamboo and likes to sleep a lot. It's very cute and friendly," Tim explained. + +"Can we play with it?" Mia wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's shy. Let's be careful and quiet," Tim suggested. + +They approached the panda slowly, holding their toys. The panda noticed them and tilted its head. It seemed curious too. It sniffed their toys and made a soft sound. + +"Hello, panda. We are Tim and Mia. Do you want to play with us?" Tim said, smiling. + +The panda nodded and reached out its paw. It touched Tim's car and Mia's doll. It liked the bright colors and the smooth shapes. It gave them back and smiled too. + +"Thank you, panda. You are very nice. Do you have a name?" Mia asked. + +The panda shook its head. It didn't know what a name was. + +"That's okay. We can give you a name. How about...Bamboo?" Tim offered. + +The panda nodded again. It liked the sound of Bamboo. It sounded like its favorite food. + +"Okay, Bamboo. Do you want to join our adventure? We are heroes and we have to stop the bad guys. They want to take our toys and make us sad. But we are brave and smart and we won't let them," Tim said, holding his car. + +The panda nodded once more. It wanted to have fun and help its new friends. It followed Tim and Mia as they ran around the park, pretending to fight the bad guys. They used their toys as weapons and shields, and made loud noises. + +"Stop, bad guys! You can't have our toys! They are ours and we love them!" Tim shouted. + +"Yeah, stop, bad guys! Or we will make you surrender! Bamboo will help us!" Mia added. + +The panda roared and showed its teeth. It looked fierce and strong. The bad guys were scared and ran away. + +"Yay, we did it!

He smiles. He sees a big pile of leaves near the tree. He has an idea. He runs to the pile and jumps in it. He laughs and throws leaves in the air. + +"Hey, Sam, what are you doing?" Tom asks. He runs to the pile and joins Sam. They have fun in the leaves. They forget about the basket. + +Max sees them and barks. He runs to the pile and jumps in it too. He licks Tom and Sam and rolls in the leaves. He is happy. + +Mom comes out and sees them. She shakes her head. She says, "You did not complete the task.

They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will do it again. But can we play with Max first?" + +Mom sighs. She says, "Okay, but only for a little while. Then you have to complete the task. And Max needs a bath.

She told her mom what Tom did and asked for a hug. She did not want to talk to Tom again. + +Tom was left alone in the garden. He looked at the broken squash and felt very sad. He wished he had been more careful and helpful. He wished Anna would forgive him and be his friend again. But she did not. The end. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. Sara saw a big red pot on the stove. She wanted to touch it and see what was inside. + +"Ben, look at that pot!" she said. "It is so big and red. I want to touch it." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Sara, don't touch it. It is hot. Mommy said we should not touch the stove. It can hurt us." + +But Sara did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the pot. She felt a sharp pain and pulled back her hand. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It is hot! It is hot!" she screamed. + +Mommy heard Sara's cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw Sara holding her hand and Ben looking worried. She took Sara's hand and put it under cold water. She hugged Sara and Ben and said: + +"I'm sorry, Sara. You touched something hot and it burned you. It is very painful. You should always listen to Mommy and Ben when they tell you not to touch something. They are trying to keep you safe. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She felt sorry and scared. She said: + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Ben. I was curious and I did not listen. I will not touch hot things again. Can you forgive me?" + +Mommy and Ben smiled. They said: + +"Of course we forgive you, Sara. We love you. But you have to be careful and follow the rules. They are there to protect you. Now let's put some cream on your hand and a band-aid. Then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" + +Sara smiled too. She said: + +"That sounds good. Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Ben. You are the best." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to roll down the hill. They run to the top of the hill. + +Anna sees a rose on the hill. It is red and pretty. She picks the rose. She wants to keep it. Ben says, "No, Anna. That is not nice. The rose belongs to the hill. You should put it back." + +Anna does not listen. She says, "I like the rose. It is mine. You can roll down the hill. I will stay here with the rose." She holds the rose tight. + +Ben is sad. He rolls down the hill alone. He has fun, but he misses Anna. He looks up at the hill. He sees Anna sitting with the rose. She is not happy. The rose has thorns. They hurt her hand. She cries. + +Ben runs up the hill. He sees Anna's hand. It is red and sore. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. The rose hurt you. Here, let me help you." He takes the rose from Anna. He puts it back on the hill. He hugs Anna. He says, "It is okay, Anna. You made a mistake. You can say sorry to the rose. The rose will forgive you. Then we can roll down the hill together." + +Anna says sorry to the rose. She says, "I am sorry, rose. I was selfish. You are beautiful. You belong to the hill. Thank you for being here." The rose smiles. It gives Anna a light kiss. It says, "I forgive you, Anna. You are kind. You learned a lesson. You can play with me anytime. But please do not pick me. I like to stay on the hill." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They roll down the hill together. They laugh and smile. They learn to be respectful and share. They are good friends. The rose is happy too. It watches them play. It is glad to be on the hill. It is proud to be a rose. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a truck with ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. + +"Can I have a cone with chocolate, please?" Tim says. + +"Can I have a cone with vanilla, please?" Jen says. + +The man in the truck gives them their cones. They are happy. They lick their ice cream. + +But then, Tim sees a bird. He wants to see the bird. He forgets his cone. He puts his cone on a bench and runs to the bird. + +Jen sees Tim's cone. She thinks, "Tim does not want his cone. He left it on the bench. I want his cone. I will take his cone." + +She takes Tim's cone and eats it. She has two cones. She is greedy. + +But then, Tim comes back. He looks for his cone. He does not see his cone. He sees Jen with two cones. He is sad. He says, "Jen, where is my cone? Did you take my cone?" + +Jen feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She says, "I'm sorry, Tim. I took your cone. I was greedy. I wanted two cones. But I should have asked you first. Can you forgive me?" + +Tim is angry. He says, "No, I can't forgive you. You are not a good friend. You took my cone without asking. You made me sad. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He walks away. He does not have a cone. He does not have a friend. He is lonely. + +Jen cries. She has two cones. She does not have a friend. She is sorry. + +The man in the truck sees them. He feels sorry for them. He says, "Hey, kids, why are you so sad? Ice cream is supposed to make you happy. What happened?" + +Tim and Jen tell him what happened. He says, "That's not good. You should not be greedy. You should not take what is not yours. You should share. You should be kind. You should be friends. That's the right thing to do." + +He says, "I have an idea. Why don't you give one cone to Tim, Jen? And why don't you say sorry to Jen, Tim? And why don't you hug and make up? And why don't you enjoy your ice cream together? And why don't you play in the park again? And why don't you be happy?" + +Tim and Jen think about it. They realize they made a mistake. They want to be friends again. They do what the man says. They give one cone to Tim. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They enjoy their ice cream together. They play in the park again. They are happy. + +The man smiles. He says, "That's better. That's how you end a bad day. With a good cone and a good friend. And remember, kids, be open to share and be open to forgive. That's the moral of the story." + +The end. +Lily liked to dance. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was bored. She danced with her toys, with her mom, with her dog. She danced to any sound she heard: the birds, the cars, the rain. + +One day, Lily went to a big park with her mom. There were many other kids there, playing and having fun. Lily saw a boy with a drum. He was making loud noises with it, but they did not sound nice. They did not have rhythm. Lily wanted to dance, but she could not. The drum noises hurt her ears. + +She went to the boy and said, "Can I give you something?" The boy looked at her and said, "What do you have?" Lily said, "I have rhythm. I can show you how to make your drum sound better. Then we can dance together." The boy said, "OK, show me." + +Lily took the drum and tapped it softly. She made a pattern with her taps, like this: tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap-tap. She said, "This is rhythm. It makes the drum sound nice. It makes you want to move. Try it." She gave the drum back to the boy. + +The boy tried to copy Lily's pattern. He was not very good at first, but he kept trying. He listened to Lily and watched her dance. He liked how she moved. He liked how the drum sounded. He smiled and said, "Thank you. You gave me rhythm. You are a good friend." He asked Lily to dance with him. + +Lily and the boy danced together. They had fun. They made new friends. They learned something new. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: You can give something valuable to someone without spending money. You can give something that comes from your heart, like rhythm, or kindness, or friendship. You can make someone's day better with a simple gift. You can be ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big pack of gum in the park. They were very happy and decided to share it. + +"Can I have the pink one?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can have the pink one. I want the green one," Ben said. + +They opened the pack and took out the gum. They put it in their mouths and chewed. It was sweet and soft. They blew big bubbles and laughed. + +But then, a man came over and looked at them. He was troubled. He had a badge and a hat. He was a park ranger. + +"Hey, kids, where did you get that gum?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They thought they did something bad. + +"We found it, sir. It was on the bench," Lily said. + +The park ranger frowned. He took the pack from them and looked at it. + +"This is not gum, kids. This is a trap. Someone send it here to catch the squirrels. It has glue and seeds in it. If the squirrels eat it, they will get stuck and hurt," he said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for the squirrels. They did not know it was a trap. They spit out the gum and threw it away. + +"We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to take it. We thought it was gum," Ben said. + +The park ranger nodded. He was not angry. He was glad they did not get hurt. + +"It's okay, kids. You did not know. But you have to be careful. Do not take things that are not yours. And do not eat things that you do not know. They might be bad for you," he said. + +He gave them a smile and a pat on the head. He told them to go home and wash their mouths. He took the trap and went to look for the person who send it. + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They said goodbye to the park ranger and went home. They never took gum from the park again. +Sara liked to knit with yarn. She had many colors of yarn. She made hats and scarves and mittens for her family and friends. She was happy when she knitted. + +One day, she wanted to teach her little brother Tom how to knit. She gave him some blue yarn and two needles. She showed him how to make a loop and pull the yarn through. She said, "Repeat after me: in, around, through, off. In, around, through, off." + +Tom tried to repeat. He said, "In, around, through, off. In, around, through, off." He followed Sara's hands with his eyes. He moved his needles and yarn. He made a stitch. He smiled. + +Sara smiled too. She said, "Good job, Tom! You are knitting! Do you like it?" Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, I like it. It is fun. Can I make a hat?" Sara said, "Sure, you can make a hat. But you need to knit a lot of stitches. Do you want to keep knitting?" Tom said, "Yes, I want to keep knitting. In, around, through, off. In, around, through, off." + +Sara and Tom knitted together. They talked and laughed. They were happy. They liked to knit with yarn. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see the view. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Tom says. "We can see the whole park from there!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and slippery." + +They start to climb the hill. They hold hands and help each other. They are almost at the top. They are excited to see the view. + +But then they hear a loud bark. It is a big dog. The dog is running towards them. The dog looks angry and scary. + +"Run!" Tom says. "The dog is coming!" + +They turn around and try to run down the hill. But they are too fast. They lose their balance and fall. They roll down the hill. They get dirty and hurt. + +The dog catches up with them. But the dog is not angry and scary. The dog is friendly and playful. The dog licks their faces and wags its tail. + +"Hi, doggy!" Mia says. "You are not mean. You just want to play." + +The dog's owner comes. He is a man. He is smiling. + +"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "My dog is not bad. He just likes to chase things. He thought you were playing with him." + +Tom and Mia are not mad. They are happy. They pet the dog and laugh. + +They look up at the hill. They see the view. It is beautiful. They see the whole park. They see the trees, the flowers, the swings, the slide, the pond, the ducks, the people. + +They also see their moms. Their moms are looking for them. Their moms are worried. + +"Oops!" Tom says. "We forgot to tell our moms where we were going. That was foolish." + +"Yes," Mia says. "We should have told them. Let's go and say sorry." + +They get up and run to their moms. They hug them and say sorry. They tell them about the hill, the view, the dog, and the man. + +Their moms are not angry. They are glad. They hug them and kiss them. + +They are proud of Tom and Mia. They are brave and kind. They are good friends. They include each other. They have fun. They learn. They love. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play with balloons. One day, they found a big red balloon in the park and decided to take it home. They ran and jumped with the balloon, but they did not see the sharp branch on the ground. + +"Pop!" The balloon burst and made a loud noise. Lily and Ben were very sad and scared. They dropped the balloon and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, we found a balloon but it popped!" they cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my dears. Balloons are fun, but they can also pop. Sometimes they have holes or they touch something sharp. You did not do anything wrong." + +"But we wanted to play with the balloon, mom. It was so big and red and pretty," Lily said. + +"I know, sweetie. But you can play with other things, too. How about we go inside and settle down with a book? I have a new one about a foolish monkey who makes funny faces. Do you want to hear it?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please, mom. We like stories," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mom inside. They forgot about the balloon and listened to the story. They laughed at the foolish monkey and felt happy again. They learned that balloons are not the only things that can make them smile. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they could build castles and roads and bridges. They also had a small toy truck that they could fill with sand and drive around. + +One day, their mom made a special dessert for them. She baked a cake with chocolate and cherries and whipped cream. She put it on the table and told them to wash their hands before they could have a slice. + +But Lily and Ben were too busy playing in the sandbox. They did not hear their mom or see the cake. They were having fun making a big city with their sand castles and roads and bridges. They also used their toy truck to carry sand from one place to another. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was dirty and hungry. He saw the cake on the table and jumped on it. He ate the cake and made a mess. He also knocked over the table and the plates and the forks. + +Lily and Ben were scared and angry. They shouted at the dog. + +"Go away, dog! You are bad! You destroyed our dessert! You are dirty and naughty!" + +The dog barked and ran away. He left behind a trail of crumbs and cream and cherries. + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom was sad and sorry. She hugged them and said. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. The dog was mean and greedy. He destroyed your dessert. But don't worry, I have some ice cream in the freezer. We can have that instead. And we can make another cake another day. But first, you have to wash your hands. You are dirty and sticky!" +Anna was curious about her dad's tie. She liked the colors and the patterns on it. She wanted to touch it and see how it felt. + +One day, when dad was getting ready for work, Anna asked him, "Dad, can I see your tie?" + +Dad smiled and bent down to Anna's level. He said, "Sure, sweetie. This is my tie. I wear it to look nice and professional. Do you like it?" + +Anna nodded and reached for the tie. She felt the smooth fabric and the knot. She said, "It's pretty. How do you make the knot?" + +Dad said, "It's not easy, but I can show you. Do you have a scarf or a ribbon?" + +Anna ran to her room and came back with a pink scarf. She gave it to dad and said, "Can you use this?" + +Dad said, "Yes, this will work. Watch carefully, okay?" He wrapped the scarf around his neck and crossed the ends. He tucked one end under the other and pulled it through a loop. He tightened the knot and adjusted the scarf. He said, "There, that's how you make a tie. Do you want to try?" + +Anna was excited and said, "Yes, please!" She took the scarf and tried to copy what dad did. She got confused and tangled the scarf. She said, "Oops, I can't do it." + +Dad said, "That's okay, sweetie. It takes practice. Here, let me help you." He untangled the scarf and helped Anna make a tie. He said, "Good job, Anna. You did it!" + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you and your tie." + +Dad hugged Anna and said, "I love you too, sweetie. You are very smart and curious." He kissed her and said, "Now, I have to go to work. Have a good day with mom." + +Anna waved goodbye and said, "Bye, dad. Have a good day too." She kept the scarf around her neck and felt proud. She had learned something new from dad. She wondered what else she could learn. She was curious. +Tim and Lily wanted to play outside, but it was very cold. They put on their hats and coats and gloves and boots. They saw a big hill with snow on it. They wanted to slide down the hill. + +"Let's make a sled!" said Tim. He found a big box and a rope. He tied the rope to the box. "Now we can pull the box up the hill and slide down in it." + +"OK!" said Lily. She helped Tim pull the box. It was hard work. They were patient. They did not give up. They reached the top of the hill. + +"Ready?" said Tim. He got in the box. He held the rope. "You push me, Lily." + +"OK!" said Lily. She pushed the box. The box slid down the hill very fast. Tim laughed. He felt the wind on his face. He saw the trees and the sky. + +But then he saw a big rock. The box was going to hit the rock. Tim was scared. He tried to stop the box. He pulled the rope. But the rope broke. The box hit the rock. The box broke. Tim fell out. He rolled in the snow. He hurt his arm. He cried. + +Lily ran down the hill. She saw Tim. She was sorry. She hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tim. Are you OK?" + +Tim shivered. He was cold and wet and hurt. He said, "I'm not OK. I want to go home." + +Lily helped Tim get up. She said, "Let's go home. Mom will make you feel better. She will give you a bandage and a hug and a hot chocolate." + +They walked home. They learned a lesson. They learned that playing outside is fun, but they have to be careful. They learned that ropes can break and rocks can hurt. They learned that they have to look before they slide. They learned that they have to be kind to each other. They learned that they have to say sorry when they make a mistake. They learned that they have to shiver sometimes, but they can always warm up with love. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily got a new doll from her mom. It had long, shiny hair and a pretty dress. + +"Wow, your doll is so nice!" Anna said. She admired Lily's doll. She wanted to touch its hair. + +"Thank you, Anna. Do you want to play with her?" Lily asked. She was happy to share her doll with Anna. + +"Yes, please!" Anna said. She took the doll and brushed its hair. She made a braid and a ponytail. She smiled and said, "Your doll has the best hair ever!" + +Lily smiled too. She was glad that Anna liked her doll. She looked at Anna's doll. It had short, curly hair and a cheap dress. It was old and dirty. Lily felt sorry for Anna's doll. + +"Anna, do you like your doll?" Lily asked. + +Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. She is my only doll. My mom gave her to me when I was a baby. She is very special to me." + +Lily thought for a moment. She had many dolls at home. She did not need them all. She had an idea. + +"Anna, do you want to trade dolls?" Lily asked. + +Anna looked surprised. She said, "Trade dolls? But your doll is so nice. Why do you want to trade?" + +Lily said, "Because I want to make you happy. And I like your doll too. She has cute hair and a cozy dress. She looks like a good friend." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I would love to trade dolls with you." + +They hugged and traded dolls. They played with their new dolls and had fun. They were still best friends. They admired each other's dolls and each other. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play in the garden. He had a big sunflower that he watered every day. He wanted it to grow tall and strong, like a king. + +One day, he saw a bee buzzing around his sunflower. He was curious and went closer. He heard the bee say, "Hello, little boy. Do you like this flower?" + +"Yes, I do," Tom said. "It is my sunflower. I take care of it." + +"That is good," the bee said. "But do you know what else this flower can do?" + +"No, what can it do?" Tom asked. + +The bee smiled and said, "It can make seeds. Seeds are like little babies for flowers. They can grow into new flowers. If you want, I can help you collect some seeds. Then you can plant them and have more sunflowers." + +Tom liked that idea. He nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want more sunflowers." + +The bee said, "Okay, follow me. But be careful. Some seeds are still young and green. They are not ready yet. You have to wait until they are old and brown. Then they are dry and hard. That is when they are good for planting." + +Tom followed the bee and learned how to find the old and brown seeds. He put them in a small bag and thanked the bee. The bee said, "You are welcome, little boy. Have fun with your sunflowers. Goodbye." + +Tom waved goodbye and ran back to his house. He showed his mom the bag of seeds and told her what the bee had said. His mom was proud of him and said, "That is wonderful, Tom. You are a good gardener. You can plant these seeds in a new spot and watch them grow. Maybe they will grow as tall and strong as a king, too." + +Tom smiled and hugged his mom. He was happy and excited. He could not wait to plant his seeds and see his new sunflowers. He hoped they would be as beautiful as his old one. He thought the bee was very nice and smart. He hoped to see him again. He loved his sunflower and his garden. +Sara was anxious. Today was her birthday and she wanted a gift. She hoped it was a doll or a book or a puzzle. She liked those things a lot. She did not like cars or balls or trucks. Those were for boys. + +She waited in the living room with her mom and dad. They had a big cake with candles and a song for her. They also had a big box with a bow. Sara wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "Can I open my gift now?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, make a wish and blow out the candles." Sara nodded and closed her eyes. She wished for a doll or a book or a puzzle. Then she opened her eyes and blew hard. The candles went out and everyone clapped. + +Her dad handed her the box and said, "Happy birthday, Sara. We hope you like your gift." Sara thanked him and tore off the paper. She lifted the lid and looked inside. She saw a car, a ball and a truck. She felt sad and confused. She did not like those things. + +She looked at her mom and dad and said, "Why did you give me these? These are for boys." Her mom and dad looked at each other and then at Sara. They said, "We know you don't like these things, but we wanted you to try something new. Sometimes, trying new things can be fun and exciting. You might discover that you like them after all. Will you give them a chance?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She did not want to hurt her mom and dad's feelings. They loved her and wanted her to be happy. She decided to try something new. She said, "OK, I will try them. But can I also have a doll or a book or a puzzle later?" Her mom and dad nodded and hugged her. They said, "Of course, you can. We have more gifts for you in your room. But first, let's have some cake and play with your new toys. Happy birthday, Sara. We love you." Sara smiled and said, "I love you too." She was still anxious, but also curious. She wondered what the car, the ball and the truck could do. She decided to find out. +Tim was a boy who liked to complain a lot. He complained when he had to wake up in the morning. He complained when he had to eat his breakfast. He complained when he had to brush his teeth. He complained when he had to go to school. He complained when he had to do his homework. He complained when he had to go to bed. + +One day, Tim met a girl named Amy at the park. Amy was deaf. She could not hear anything. She used her hands to talk. Tim was curious about Amy. He asked her many questions. He wanted to know how she lived without hearing. + +Amy smiled and answered Tim's questions. She told him that she liked to wake up in the morning and see the sun. She liked to eat her breakfast and taste the food. She liked to brush her teeth and feel the mint. She liked to go to school and learn new things. She liked to do her homework and show her skills. She liked to go to bed and dream. + +Tim was amazed by Amy. He realized that she was happy and grateful for what she had. He felt ashamed of his complaining. He decided to change his attitude. He thanked Amy for teaching him a lesson. He said sorry for being rude. He said he wanted to be her friend. + +Amy nodded and hugged Tim. She was glad to meet him. She said he was brave and smart. She said she wanted to be his friend too. + +The moral of the story is: We should not complain about what we have, but appreciate what we have. We can learn from people who are different from us. We can be kind and friendly to everyone. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. Lily wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. Tom was scared of heights, but he did not want to say no to Lily. + +"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Lily said. She grabbed a branch and pulled herself up. Tom followed her, but he felt his legs shake. He looked down and saw how high they were. He wished he was on the ground. + +"Look, Tom, I can touch the palm!" Lily said. She reached for a big leaf that looked like a hand. She smiled and waved it at Tom. Tom tried to smile back, but he was too nervous. He wanted to go down, but he did not know how. + +"Lily, I want to go down. I don't like it here," Tom said. He hoped Lily would understand. + +"But we just got here. Don't you want to see more?" Lily asked. She did not see how scared Tom was. She liked climbing and exploring. + +"No, I don't. Please, Lily, let's go down," Tom said. He felt tears in his eyes. He regretted climbing the tree. He wished he had said no to Lily. + +Lily saw Tom's face and realized he was not happy. She felt sorry for him. She was kind to Tom. She did not want him to be sad. + +"Okay, Tom, we can go down. I'm sorry, I did not know you were scared. I will help you," Lily said. She took Tom's hand and showed him where to step. She talked to him softly and made him laugh. They reached the ground safely. + +Tom hugged Lily and thanked her. He was glad she was his friend. He was not mad at her. He knew she did not mean to scare him. + +Lily hugged Tom back and smiled. She was glad he was her friend. She did not want to lose him. She knew he did not like climbing. + +They decided to play something else. They found a swing and a slide. They had fun together. They forgot about the tree and the palm. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car. The car is shiny and red. It has four doors and a long rod on the roof. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tom says. "It is so big and nice. Who has that car?" + +"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe it is someone rich. Maybe they have a lot of toys and candy." + +They run to the car. They want to see it better. They touch the rod. It is cold and hard. They look inside the car. They see leather seats and a big screen. + +"Hello, kids," a voice says. "What are you doing?" + +They turn around. They see a man. The man is tall and wears a suit. He has a badge on his chest. He is a policeman. + +"This is my car," the man says. "It is a police car. The rod is an antenna. It helps me talk to other policemen." + +Tom and Sue are surprised. They did not know it is a police car. They thought it is a rich car. + +"Can we see your badge?" Tom asks. + +"Sure," the man says. He shows them his badge. It has a star and some numbers. + +"Can we see your toys and candy?" Sue asks. + +The man laughs. He opens the trunk. He shows them some tools and a first aid kit. + +"These are not toys and candy," he says. "These are things I use to help people. Sometimes I have to fix things or help someone who is hurt." + +Tom and Sue are curious. They ask the man many questions. He tells them about his job and his car. He is nice and friendly. He lets them sit in the car and turn on the lights and the siren. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They learned something new. They thank the man and say goodbye. They run back to the park. They tell their other friends about the police car. They think the policeman is cool. They want to be policemen when they grow up. +Lila and Ben are playing in the snow. They want to make an igloo. They use a big bucket to make snow blocks. They stack the blocks in a circle. They leave a hole for the door. + +"Look, we made an igloo!" Lila says. "Let's go inside and pretend we are eskimos." + +They crawl inside the igloo. It is cold and dark. They wrap themselves in a furry blanket. They pretend they have a fire and a fish. + +"Hello, eskimos!" a voice says. They see a nose and two eyes at the door. It is a dog. A furry, brown dog. He wags his tail and sniffs them. + +"Who are you?" Ben asks. + +"I am Max. I live in the house over there. Can I play with you?" the dog says. + +"Yes, you can!" Lila says. "You can be our friend. Come inside the igloo." + +They make room for Max. He curls up next to them. He licks their faces. They giggle and hug him. + +They have fun in the igloo. They are happy. They have a new friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill. + +"Let's have a race!" Ben says. "Who can go up the hill first?" + +"OK!" Anna says. "But you have to be fair. No pushing or cheating." + +They get ready to run. They count to three. Then they start to race. + +Ben runs fast. He thinks he can win. He is strong and brave. But Anna is smart. She sees a path on the side of the hill. The path is not steep. It is easier to go up. + +Anna runs on the path. She passes Ben. She reaches the top of the hill first. She smiles and waves. + +"I win!" Anna says. "I am smart. I found a better way." + +Ben is sad. He did not win. He did not see the path. He feels silly. + +"Good job, Anna!" Ben says. "You are smart. You found a better way. Can you show me the path?" + +Anna nods. She goes down the hill. She shows Ben the path. They go up the hill together. They are friends. They have fun. +Tom was sad. He missed his mom. She went to work in the morning and did not come back until night. Tom wanted to hug his mom and play with her. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He took his crayons and a big paper. He drew a picture of his mom and him. He drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, Mom". He was very proud of his picture. + +He ran to the door and waited for his mom. He heard her car in the driveway. He opened the door and shouted "Mom, Mom, I have something for you!" + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She saw his picture and said "Wow, Tom, this is beautiful! Thank you so much! I love you, too!" + +Tom was happy. He hugged his mom again and showed her his picture. They went inside and played together. Tom was not sad anymore. He had a good day. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, it was cold and windy. Lily wore a jacket, but Ben did not have one. + +"Ben, you need a jacket," Lily said. "You will be cold." + +"I don't have a jacket," Ben said. "Mommy forgot to give me one." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She had an idea. She took off her jacket and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, you can have my jacket," she said. "We can share it." + +Ben smiled. He put on Lily's jacket. It was big and pink, but it was warm. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend." + +They hugged and ran to the swings. They saw other kids playing there. + +"Can we join you?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, come on," one of the kids said. + +Lily and Ben joined the other kids. They had fun on the swings. They did not care that they looked different. They were happy. +Lily loved to sing. She sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. She had a very nice voice that made people happy. She wanted to perform for her family and friends. + +She asked her mom to help her make a stage in the living room. She used a big box, a blanket, and some toys. She put on a pretty dress and a hat. She invited everyone to sit on the couch and watch her show. + +She stood on the stage and said, "Hello, everyone. I am Lily and I am going to sing for you. Please clap your hands and enjoy." She sang her favorite songs, like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "The Wheels on the Bus". She sang loud and clear, with a big smile. + +Everyone clapped and cheered for Lily. They said, "Wow, Lily, you have a very impressive voice. You are a great singer. We are so proud of you." Lily felt very happy and proud. She bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you. You are the best audience. I love you all." She hugged her mom and dad and gave them a kiss. She was a star. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the pool. Lily has a cute swimsuit with flowers. Tom has a blue swim cap. They splash and swim and have fun. + +"Look, Lily, I can swim like a fish!" Tom says. He goes under the water and moves his arms and legs. + +"Wow, Tom, you are fast!" Lily says. She tries to swim like a fish too, but she needs a floaty to help her. + +They swim and play until they hear a sound. It is the clock. The clock says it is time to go home. + +"Ding dong, ding dong!" the clock says. + +"Oh no, we have to go!" Lily says. She gets out of the pool and puts on her towel. + +"Bye, Lily, see you tomorrow!" Tom says. He waves and runs to his mom. + +"Bye, Tom, thank you for playing!" Lily says. She hugs her dad and goes to the car. + +They are happy. They had a good day. They like to swim. +Lily likes to play with her hoop. She can roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She has a big hoop and a small hoop. She likes the big hoop best. + +One day, Lily wants to play with her hoop outside. She puts on her shoes and coat and runs to the door. But the door is locked. Mom is in the kitchen. Lily calls for Mom, but Mom does not hear her. Lily tries to open the door, but it is too high. She needs a key. + +Lily has an idea. She gets her big hoop and puts it on the floor. She stands on the hoop and tries to reach the door. She stretches her arms and fingers as far as she can. She feels the door knob. She turns it and opens the door. She is happy. + +Lily picks up her hoop and goes outside. She sees a bird on a tree. The bird is loud. It sings a song. Lily sings with the bird. She rolls her hoop and spins it. She jumps through it and laughs. She has fun with her hoop. Mom comes out and sees Lily. Mom smiles and hugs Lily. She says, "You are very clever, Lily. You used your hoop to open the door. But next time, please ask me for the key." Lily nods and says, "Sorry, Mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Lily. Let's play with your hoop together." Lily and Mom play with the hoop and the bird. They have a good day. +Lily liked to dress up in her mom's clothes. She found a big hat, a long scarf and a shiny necklace in the closet. She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and fancy. + +She saw a violin on the shelf. It was her dad's violin. He played it very well and made beautiful sounds. Lily wanted to try it too. She took the violin and the bow and went to the living room. + +She saw her mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. She said, "Mom, look at me! I am dressed up and I have a violin. Can I play it for you?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "You look very lovely, Lily. But the violin is not a toy. It is very delicate and expensive. You have to be very careful and gentle with it. And you have to learn how to play it properly. It is not easy." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to make her mom happy with her music. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to play like dad. Can you teach me how to play the violin?" + +Her mom was touched by Lily's words. She said, "You are very thoughtful, Lily. I appreciate your interest in the violin. But you are still very young. Maybe when you are older, you can take lessons and learn how to play. For now, why don't you put the violin back and we can play something else together?" + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "OK, mom. I love you. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl. Come on, let's go and find some fun games to play." +Ben and Lily like to play hockey with their dad. They have sticks and a ball and a net in the garage. Every Saturday, they go to the park and play with other kids. + +Today, dad says, "We have to load the car with our hockey stuff. Can you help me?" Ben and Lily nod and run to the garage. They are very organized. They put their sticks and ball in a big bag. They put their helmets and gloves in another bag. They put the net in the trunk. + +Dad smiles and says, "Good job, kids. You are very fast and helpful. Let's go to the park and have some fun." He drives the car to the park. Ben and Lily see their friends waiting for them. They say hello and unload the car. + +They set up the net and divide into two teams. Ben and Lily are on the same team. They play hockey for a long time. They score goals and cheer. They also share the ball and say sorry when they bump into someone. They have a lot of fun. + +When they are tired, they stop and have a snack. They drink water and eat apples and crackers. They thank their dad for bringing them to the park. They also thank their friends for playing with them. They load the car again and go home. They are happy and sleepy. They love hockey. +Sam is a boy who likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also likes to clean them with a rag when they get dirty. + +One day, his mom tells him that he has to go to the doctor. Sam does not like the doctor. He thinks the doctor will poke him with a needle and make him cry. He does not want to go. He wants to stay and play with his cars. + +"Sam, it's time to go to the doctor. Put on your shoes and coat," his mom says. + +"No, mom, I don't want to go. I want to play with my cars. Please, mom, let me play," Sam says. + +"Sam, you have to go to the doctor. The doctor will check if you are healthy and strong. The doctor will not hurt you. He will only look at your ears, your eyes, your mouth and your tummy. He will give you a sticker and a lollipop if you are brave. You can bring one car with you if you want," his mom says. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He does not like the doctor, but he likes stickers and lollipops. He also wants to be healthy and strong. He decides to go to the doctor. He picks his favorite car, a red one, and puts it in his pocket. He puts on his shoes and coat. He takes his rag with him, in case his car gets dirty. + +"Okay, mom, I will go to the doctor. But can I play with my cars when we come back?" Sam says. + +"Of course, Sam. You can play with your cars when we come back. I'm proud of you for being brave. Now let's go," his mom says. + +They go to the car and drive to the doctor. Sam holds his car and his rag in his hands. He hopes the doctor will be nice and quick. He hopes he will get a sticker and a lollipop. He hopes he will be healthy and strong. He hopes he can play with his cars soon. +Lily liked to swim in the pool. She wore a pink swimsuit and a yellow hat. She had a big floaty that looked like a duck. She smiled when she splashed in the water. + +But Tom did not like Lily. He was rude. He wore a blue swimsuit and a green hat. He had a small floaty that looked like a shark. He frowned when he saw Lily. + +Tom wanted to make Lily sad. He swam to her and bit her floaty. The duck floaty popped and Lily fell in the water. Lily cried and Tom laughed. + +But Lily's mom saw what Tom did. She was angry. She took Lily out of the water and gave her a hug. She told Tom to say sorry and to go away. Tom did not say sorry. He ran away. + +Lily's mom gave Lily a new floaty that looked like a turtle. Lily smiled again. She liked the turtle floaty. She swam in the pool and had fun. She was happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to run after it and bring it back. + +One day, they saw a big black dog in the park. It had shiny fur and a long tail. It looked at them with bright eyes and wagged its tail. Tom and Lily thought the dog was friendly and wanted to play with them. They kicked the ball to the dog and the dog ran after it. It caught the ball in its mouth and brought it back to them. Tom and Lily were happy and petted the dog. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Tom asked. + +"Woof, woof!" the dog answered. + +"I think he likes us," Lily said. + +They played with the dog for a long time. The dog was fast and smart. It could do tricks with the ball and make them laugh. Tom and Lily had a lot of fun with the dog. + +But then they noticed something strange. The ball was not the same as before. It was smaller and softer. It had holes and scratches on it. It looked like the dog had bitten it and torn it apart. + +"Hey, dog. What did you do to our ball?" Lily asked. + +"Woof, woof!" the dog answered. + +The dog dropped the ball and ran away. Tom and Lily picked up the ball and looked at it. It was not a ball anymore. It was a piece of leather. It had a mysterious mark on it. It looked like a letter or a symbol. + +"Where did the dog get this leather from?" Tom wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was his toy or his collar," Lily guessed. + +They tried to find the dog again, but they could not see him anywhere. He had disappeared. Tom and Lily were sad and confused. They had lost their ball and gained a piece of leather. They did not understand what had happened. They decided to go home and show the leather to their mom and dad. Maybe they could explain the mystery of the dog and the ball. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and read books. One day, they found a big book of poems in the library. They wanted to read it together. + +They opened the book and saw many words and pictures. Some poems were funny, some were sad, and some were scary. Lily and Tom read the scary poems and felt a shiver. They saw a poem about a ghost, a poem about a witch, and a poem about a monster. + +"Let's read this one," Tom said, pointing to a poem about a monster. "It looks fun." + +Lily nodded and read the poem out loud. It was about a big, hairy, scary monster that liked to hide under the bed and scare children at night. Lily and Tom imagined the monster and felt afraid. + +"Maybe we should stop reading," Lily said, feeling her heart beat fast. + +"No, let's finish the poem," Tom said, feeling brave. + +They read the last lines of the poem and gasped. The poem said that the monster was real and that it was coming for them. + +"Boo!" a voice shouted behind them. + +Lily and Tom screamed and turned around. They saw a pale face with big eyes and a wide smile. It was their friend Sam, who had sneaked up on them. + +"Gotcha!" Sam said, laughing. "I scared you, didn't I?" + +Lily and Tom felt angry and relieved. They threw the book at Sam and ran away. + +"Hey, wait for me!" Sam said, picking up the book. "It was just a joke. Don't be mad. The poems are not real." + +But Lily and Tom did not listen. They did not want to read any more scary poems. They wanted to play something else. Something fun and happy. Something that did not scare them. +Sara and Lily are sisters. They like to play with dolls and blocks. One day, they find a big yellow box in the living room. They wonder what is inside. + +"Can we open it?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us," Lily says. + +They go to the box and lift the lid. Inside, they see many books with pictures and words. They are happy and excited. + +"Look, this one has a princess and a dragon," Sara says, picking up a book. + +"And this one has a bear and a honey pot," Lily says, holding another book. + +They sit on the floor and look at the books. They point at the pictures and try to read the words. They laugh and smile. + +After a while, Sara sees that Lily likes the bear book very much. She has a kind idea. + +"Lily, do you want to have this book?" Sara offers. + +"Really? Can I?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, you can. It is yours. I have the princess book. We can share," Sara says. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister," Lily says. + +They hug each other and continue to look at the books. They are happy and grateful. They do not know that their mom and dad are watching them from the door. They are proud and pleased. They put the yellow box there for them. They love their daughters very much. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big pipe near the fence. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the pipe!" said Lily. + +"No, it's dark and scary!" said Ben. + +Lily was brave. She crawled into the pipe. Ben followed her. They heard a loud noise. + +"Roar!" It was a grumpy bear. He lived in the pipe. He did not like visitors. + +"Go away!" he shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran out of the pipe. They did not look back. + +"Sorry, Mr. Bear!" they said. + +They went back to their toys. They did not play with the pipe again. They learned to be careful. +Sara and Tom 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 airport. + +At the airport, they saw many people and planes. Sara and Tom liked to watch the planes take off and land. They wondered where they were going. Mom and Dad told them they were going to a place with a lot of sun, sand, and water. Sara and Tom liked sun, sand, and water. They were very excited. + +They got on a big plane with many seats. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They listened to the lady who told them what to do if something bad happened. Sara and Tom did not like the lady. She made them scared. They held Mom and Dad's hands. + +The plane started to move. It went faster and faster. Sara and Tom felt their stomachs go up and down. They did not like it. They closed their eyes and squeezed their hands. The plane made a loud noise and lifted off the ground. Sara and Tom opened their eyes and looked out the window. They saw the clouds and the sky. They saw the airport get smaller and smaller. They liked it. They smiled and laughed. + +They flew for a long time. They ate some snacks and played some games. They watched a movie and took a nap. They woke up when the plane started to go down. They looked out the window again. They saw the sun, the sand, and the water. They saw the place where they were going. They were very happy. They clapped and cheered. + +The plane landed and stopped. They got off the plane and got their bags. They followed Mom and Dad to a bus that took them to a hotel. They checked in and went to their room. They saw a big bed, a TV, and a balcony. They ran to the balcony and looked outside. They saw a pool, a playground, and a beach. They saw other kids and families. They wanted to go and play. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go. Mom and Dad said yes, but first they had to put on some sunscreen and hats. Sara and Tom did not like sunscreen and hats. They made them hot and sticky. They complained and whined. + +Mom and Dad said they had to wear them or they would get burned and hurt. They said they had a surprise for them if they were good. Sara and Tom liked surprises. They wondered what it was. They agreed to wear the sunscreen and hats.

They laughed and laughed. + +After a while, Mom and Dad said it was time to go to the beach. They said they had the surprise for them there. Sara and Tom were curious.

It had a sail and a flag. It had a name. It was called "The Laughing Dolphin". Sara and Tom loved it. They thanked Mom and Dad and hugged them. They got on the boat and put on their life jackets. They met the captain and the crew. They said they were going to see some dolphins and other animals. Sara and Tom were very excited. They sailed away and had the best vacation ever. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make noises and pretend they are drivers. Lily has a yellow car and Tom has a blue car. + +"Beep beep! I am a fast driver!" Tom says. He zooms his car around the grass. + +"I am a good driver!" Lily says. She drives her car carefully on the path. + +Suddenly, Lily's car stops. She looks at it and sees that one of the wheels is missing. + +"Oh no! Where is my wheel?" Lily cries. + +Tom stops his car and comes to help Lily. They both search for the wheel. They look under the flowers, behind the rocks, and in the bushes. + +"Where is it? Where is it?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bird took it?" Tom guesses. + +They hear a loud squawk from a tree. They look up and see a big crow. The crow has something shiny in its beak. It is Lily's wheel! + +"Hey! That's my wheel! Give it back!" Lily shouts. + +The crow flies away with the wheel. Lily and Tom run after it. They chase the crow across the garden, but they cannot catch it. + +"Come back! Come back!" Lily and Tom yell. + +The crow lands on the roof of the house. It drops the wheel and caws. + +Lily and Tom stop and look at the roof. They see the wheel rolling down. They run to catch it. + +"Got it!" Lily says. She grabs the wheel and hugs it. + +"Yay! You found it!" Tom says. He claps his hands. + +Lily puts the wheel back on her car. She smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +Tom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too." + +They hug and then drive their cars again. They are happy. The crow watches them and flies away. +Lily and Max liked to play in the attic. They found many old things there, like hats and books and toys. Sometimes they pretended to be pirates or princesses or spies. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw a big box in the corner. They were curious. They opened the box and saw a lot of shiny things. They were jewels and coins and necklaces. They were very pretty. + +Lily and Max wanted to try them on. They put some jewels in their pockets and some necklaces around their necks. They felt very rich and fancy. They decided to go downstairs and show their mom and dad. + +But when they got to the stairs, they heard a loud noise. It was the alarm. Someone had put the alarm on the box. It was a trap. Lily and Max were scared. They did not know what to do. + +They ran back to the box and put the jewels and necklaces back. They hoped no one would see them. They felt very embarrassed. They had done something bad. They had taken things that were not theirs. + +They heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It was their mom and dad. They looked angry. They asked Lily and Max what they had done. Lily and Max told them the truth. They said they were sorry. They said they would never do it again. + +Their mom and dad hugged them. They said they were glad they told the truth. They said they loved them. They said they trusted them. They said they would teach them about the box. It was a family treasure.

They learned to trust their mom and dad. They learned to be honest. They still liked to play in the attic, but they never touched the box again. +Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and stones. They had a big patch of dirt where they could make mud pies and castles. + +One day, they saw a little bird on the ground. It was not moving and had a broken wing. Tom and Anna felt sad for the bird. They wanted to help it. + +"Can we take it home, Tom?" Anna asked. + +Tom shrugged. He did not know what to do. He knew his mom did not like animals in the house. He also knew the bird was hurt and needed care. + +"Maybe we can make a nest for it," he said. "We can use some grass and leaves and put it in a box." + +They found a shoebox and filled it with soft things. They gently lifted the bird and put it in the box. They gave it some water and bread crumbs. They hoped the bird would get better. + +They left the box in a shady spot and went to tell their mom. They hoped she would not be mad. They hoped she would know how to help the bird. They felt helpless and worried. They loved the bird and wanted it to be happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to decorate their room. They had many lovely things to put on the walls and the bed. They had stickers, posters, balloons, and a big gorilla toy. They liked the gorilla very much. It was soft and cuddly and had a funny face. + +They started to decorate their room with joy. They put stickers on the door, posters on the wall, balloons on the ceiling, and the gorilla on the bed. They were very happy with their work. They said to each other, "Our room is the best!" + +But they did not know that their mom was not happy. She did not like the stickers, the posters, the balloons, or the gorilla. She thought they were messy and ugly. She wanted their room to be clean and tidy. She was angry when she saw their room. + +She came into their room and shouted, "What have you done? This is not how you decorate a room! This is how you ruin a room! You have to take everything off right now!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not understand why their mom was so mad. They liked their room. They thought it was lovely. They did not want to take everything off. They cried and hugged their gorilla. + +But their mom did not care. She grabbed the gorilla and threw it out of the window. She said, "This is the worst thing of all! You don't need a gorilla in your room! You need a book or a doll!" + +Tom and Lily watched in horror as their gorilla flew out of the window and landed on the street. They heard a loud thud and a car horn. They ran to the window and saw their gorilla smashed by a car. They screamed and sobbed. + +Their mom did not apologize. She said, "That's what you get for being naughty and messy. Now clean up your room and go to bed!" + +Tom and Lily did as they were told. They cleaned up their room and went to bed. But they could not sleep. They missed their gorilla. They hated their mom. They wished they could decorate their room again. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the panda. The panda was big and black and white. It ate bamboo and played with a ball. + +"Can we pay the panda?" Tom asked. He wanted to touch the panda's fur. + +"No, we can't pay the panda," mom said. "The panda is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It might bite or scratch you." + +"But I want to pay the panda!" Tom said. He was angry and sad. He tried to climb the fence. + +"Tom, stop!" Lily said. She grabbed his hand. "The fence is rough. It will hurt you. And the panda might be scared of you. You have to be nice to the panda." + +Tom looked at Lily. He saw that she was right. The fence was rough and the panda was far away. He felt sorry for being mean. + +"OK, I won't pay the panda," Tom said. He hugged Lily. "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you." + +"I love you too, Tom," Lily said. She smiled. "Let's go see the other animals." + +Mom was happy that Tom and Lily made up.

She likes to see what happens when she mixes colors, or makes noises, or pushes buttons. One day, she finds a vest in her closet. It is red and shiny and has many pockets. Lily thinks it is a magic vest. She puts it on and runs to the living room. + +In the living room, Mom is busy. She is making the room tidy. She is picking up toys, and books, and pillows. She is putting them in their places. She does not see Lily with the vest. Lily sees a big bowl of fruit on the table. She thinks it is a test. She wants to see what happens when she puts the fruit in the pockets of the vest. + +Lily takes an apple and puts it in a pocket. Then she takes a banana and puts it in another pocket. Then she takes a grape and puts it in another pocket. She does this until all the pockets are full of fruit. She feels very happy and proud. She thinks she is a magic fruit tester. + +Mom turns around and sees Lily with the vest. She is very surprised and angry. She sees the fruit falling out of the pockets and making a mess on the floor. She says, "Lily, what are you doing? That is not a test. That is a mess. That is not a magic vest. That is my vest. You have to take it off and help me clean up." + +Lily feels very sad and sorry. She did not mean to make Mom angry. She did not know it was Mom's vest. She thought it was a magic vest. She takes off the vest and puts it back in the closet. She helps Mom pick up the fruit and put it back in the bowl. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was just testing. I won't do it again." + +Mom hugs Lily and says, "It's okay, Lily. I know you like to test things. But you have to ask me first before you use my things. And you have to be careful not to make a mess. Testing is good, but tidying is good too. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugs Mom and says, "I love you too, Mom. Can I test something else later?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe. But first, let's have some fruit. Do you want an apple, or a banana, or a grape?" + +Lily thinks for a moment and says, "I want a grape. But not from the vest. From the bowl." +Anna likes to wake up early and play with her toys. She has a pink doll, a blue car, a yellow ball and a green frog. She also has a coin that her grandma gave her. She says it is a lucky coin and she can make a wish with it. + +One morning, Anna wakes up and sees that her coin is gone. She looks under her bed, in her closet, in her drawers, but she cannot find it. She feels sad and scared. She thinks maybe someone took her coin or maybe she lost it. + +She runs to her mom and dad's room and knocks on the door. "Mom, dad, help me!" she cries. "My coin is gone!" + +Her mom and dad wake up and hug her. They ask her what happened and she tells them about her coin. They say they will help her look for it and they go to her room. + +They search everywhere, but they still cannot find the coin. Anna starts to cry again. She says she misses her coin and she wants to make a wish. + +Her dad says, "Don't worry, Anna. Maybe your coin is not really gone. Maybe it is hiding somewhere. Maybe it is playing a game with you. Maybe it wants you to find it." + +Anna stops crying and thinks. She says, "Maybe you are right, dad. Maybe my coin is hiding. Maybe it is in a funny place. Maybe I can find it if I look harder." + +She smiles and wipes her tears. She says, "Let's play a game, too. Let's pretend we are detectives and we have to find clues. Maybe we can find my coin that way." + +Her mom and dad agree and they start to look for clues. They look at the floor, the walls, the ceiling, the windows. They look at Anna's toys, her books, her clothes, her pictures. + +They find many things, but not the coin.

I found my coin! It was hiding on my pillow! It was playing a game with me! It wanted me to find it!" + +She runs to her mom and dad and shows them her coin. They are happy and proud of her. They hug her and kiss her and praise her. They say, "You did it, Anna! You found your coin! You are a great detective! You looked hard and you found clues. You did not give up and you did not lose hope. You are a smart and brave and lucky girl!" + +Anna smiles and thanks them. She says, "You helped me, too. You looked with me and you played with me. You +Lily loved her orange car. It was a toy car, but it was big enough for her to sit in and drive. She liked to go fast and make loud noises with her mouth. She always took her car to the park with her mom and dad. + +One day, she saw a boy at the park who had a blue car. It was also a toy car, but it looked different from hers. It had a siren and a badge on it. The boy said it was a police car. Lily wanted to try it. + +"Can I play with your car?" she asked the boy. + +The boy shook his head. "No, this is my car. You have your own car." + +"But I like your car. It has a siren and a badge. My car doesn't have those things." + +"Too bad. You can't have my car. Go away." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She went back to her mom and dad. She told them what happened. They said they were sorry, but they also said she should be happy with what she had. + +Lily didn't listen. She had a plan. She waited until the boy was busy playing with something else. Then she ran to his car and got in. She turned on the siren and drove away. She laughed and shouted, "This is my car now!" + +The boy saw her and got mad. He chased after her. He yelled, "Stop! That's my car! Give it back!" + +Lily didn't stop. She drove faster and faster. She didn't see the big rock in front of her. She hit the rock and flew out of the car. She landed on the ground and hurt herself. She cried and cried. + +The boy caught up with her. He took his car back. He said, "That's what you get for stealing my car. You should have asked nicely." + +Lily's mom and dad came to help her. They said, "Lily, you did a bad thing. You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you. You should say sorry to the boy and request to play with his car." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, boy. I was wrong. Can I please play with your car?" + +The boy looked at her. He said, "OK, you can play with my car. But only for a little while. And you have to be careful." + +Lily said, "Thank you, boy. I will be careful. And you can play with my car too. It's orange and fast." + +The boy said, "Thank you, Lily. Your car is nice too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lily and the boy smiled. They played with their cars together. They had fun. They learned to share and be kind. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then, Lila felt something on her arm. She looked and saw a red spot. It was an itch. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "My arm hurts!" + +Ben ran to her and saw the itch. He was a good friend. He wanted to help. + +"Maybe you need some water," he said. "Water can make itches go away." + +He ran to the fountain and got some water in his hands. He came back and put the water on Lila's arm. He tried to supply water to the itch. + +"Does it feel better?" he asked. + +Lila shook her head. The water did not help. The itch was still there. And now, she felt cold. + +"No, it still hurts," she said. "And I'm cold. And I feel pale." + +Ben looked at her face. She was right. She was pale. She looked sick. + +"Maybe you need a hug," he said. "Hugs can make you feel warm and happy." + +He wrapped his arms around Lila and gave her a hug. He tried to supply love to her. + +"Does it feel better?" he asked. + +Lila nodded. The hug did help. She felt warm and happy. And the itch was not so bad. + +"Yes, it feels better," she said. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled. He was glad he could help. + +"You're welcome, Lila. You are a good friend, too." +Lila loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl. She felt happy and free when she danced. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. + +One day, she saw a big poster. It had a picture of a ballet show. The dancers wore pretty dresses and shoes. They looked graceful and beautiful. Lila wanted to see the show. She urged her mom to take her. + +Mom said yes. She bought two tickets for the show. She and Lila went to the theater. They sat in their seats and waited. The lights went down. The music started. The dancers came on the stage. + +Lila watched with wonder. She saw the dancers move and smile. They danced with skill and joy. They made Lila feel happy and free. She clapped and cheered. She wished she could dance like them. + +After the show, Lila hugged her mom. She thanked her for the gift. She said she loved the show. She said she wanted to learn ballet. Mom smiled and said she would find a class for her. Lila was excited. She hoped to dance on the stage one day. She felt happy and free. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big box that they used as a tent, and some stuffed animals that they used as their friends. + +One day, they found a new toy in the park. It was a leopard, with yellow fur and black spots. It looked very soft and pretty. Anna and Ben did not know who left it there, but they wanted to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a leopard!" Anna said. "Can we take it to our tent?" + +"OK, Anna, but we have to be careful. Maybe it belongs to someone else," Ben said. + +They picked up the leopard and carried it to their box. They put it next to their other animals and gave it a name. They called it Leo. + +"Hello, Leo, we are Anna and Ben. We are explorers, and you are our new friend," Anna said. + +"Welcome, Leo, we have a lot of fun in the jungle. Do you like it here?" Ben said. + +Leo did not say anything. He just looked at them with his big eyes. He was not a toy, but a real leopard. He was very young and lost. He had escaped from a truck that was taking him to a zoo. He was scared and hungry, and he did not know where he was. + +He did not want to hurt Anna and Ben, but he did not want to stay in the box either. He wanted to find his family and his home. He waited for a chance to run away. + +Anna and Ben did not notice that Leo was not a toy. They were happy to have a new friend. They decided to display him to their other friends in the park. They took him out of the box and showed him to everyone. + +"Look, everyone, this is Leo, our leopard. He is very nice and soft. Do you want to touch him?" Anna said. + +"Wow, he is so cool. Where did you get him?" one of the kids asked. + +"We found him in the park. He was alone and sad. We took him to our tent and made him happy," Ben said. + +The other kids were curious and excited. They wanted to see Leo and play with him. They came closer and tried to touch him. + +Leo did not like that. He felt trapped and scared. He did not want to be displayed. He wanted to be free. He growled and showed his teeth. He tried to break free from Anna and Ben's arms. + +The kids screamed and ran away. Anna and Ben were shocked and scared too. They realized that Leo was not a toy, but a real leopard. They did not know what to do. + +"Leo, stop, please. We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt you. We just wanted to be your friends," Anna said. + +"Leo, calm down, please. We will let you go. We did not know you were real. We just wanted to play with you," Ben said. + +But Leo did not listen. He was too angry and afraid. He pushed Anna and Ben away and ran out of the park. He did not look back. He wanted to find his way back to the jungle, where he belonged. He did not want to be with unknown people and places. He wanted to be with his own kind. +Lily liked to run fast. She ran fast in the park, in the yard, and in the house. She ran fast when she played with her dog, her doll, and her ball. She ran fast when she was happy, sad, or mad. + +But Mom did not like it when Lily ran fast in the house. She said it was noisy, messy, and dangerous. She said Lily could break things, hurt herself, or bother other people. She said Lily had to quit running fast in the house. + +One day, Lily ran fast in the house again. She ran fast from the kitchen to the living room. She did not see Mom's wine on the table. She bumped into the table and the wine spilled on the floor. Mom was very angry. She yelled at Lily and told her to go to her room. + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to spill the wine. She did not want to make Mom angry. She wanted to say sorry, but she did not know how. She went to her room and cried. + +Mom felt bad too. She did not mean to yell at Lily. She knew Lily was just having fun. She wanted to say sorry, but she did not know how. She went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. + +Mom and Lily hugged and said sorry. They said they loved each other. They said they would try to be more careful and listen to each other. They said they would quit being angry and be happy again. +Ben and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a box of cake mix and a big bowl in the kitchen. They poured the mix into the bowl and added some water and eggs. Then they saw a mixer on the counter. It looked like a fun toy. + +"Let's use the mixer!" Ben said. "It will make the cake better." + +"I don't know, Ben," Lily said. "Mom said we should not touch the mixer. It is not a toy. It can hurt us." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He was curious and wanted to try the mixer. He plugged it in and turned it on. The mixer made a loud noise and spun very fast. Ben held it over the bowl and pushed the button. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "The cake is mixing!" + +But the mixer was too strong for Ben. He could not resist the force of the mixer. It pulled him closer and closer to the bowl. He tried to let go, but his hand was stuck. The mixer dragged him into the bowl with the cake. He screamed and cried. + +Lily was scared and ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw what happened. She was shocked and angry. She unplugged the mixer and pulled Ben out of the bowl. He was covered in cake mix and had cuts and bruises on his hand and face. He was still crying. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom said. "You were very naughty and foolish. You could have been seriously hurt. You did not listen to me or Lily. You ruined the cake and the mixer. You are in big trouble, young man." + +Mom took Ben to the bathroom and cleaned him up. She put a bandage on his hand and gave him some medicine. Then she sent him to his room without any cake or dessert. She told him he had to stay there until dinner and think about what he did. + +Ben felt very sorry and sad. He wished he had listened to Lily and Mom. He wished he had not touched the mixer. He wished he had not spoiled the cake. He wished he had been a good and charming boy. He learned his lesson the hard way. He hoped Mom would forgive him and love him again. He hoped Lily would not be mad at him. He hoped he would never see a mixer again. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they are playing cops and robbers. Tim is the cop and Jen is the robber. + +"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Tim says. He runs after Jen with his toy handcuffs. + +"No, you can't catch me! I am too fast!" Jen says. She runs away from Tim and hides behind the sofa. + +Tim looks around the room. He tries to guess where Jen is. He sees a pillow move on the sofa. He smiles and sneaks up to the sofa. + +"Got you!" Tim says. He jumps on the sofa and grabs Jen's arm. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Let me go!" Jen says. She tries to wiggle out of Tim's grip. + +"No, you are going to jail!" Tim says. He puts the handcuffs on Jen's wrist. + +Jen pouts and crosses her arms. She does not like to lose. She is very independent. + +"Fine, I am in jail. But I will escape soon!" Jen says. + +Tim laughs and shakes his head. He loves his sister, even when she is a robber. He thinks she is very brave and smart. + +"Maybe, but I will catch you again!" Tim says. + +They hug and giggle. They are happy to play together. They are the best cops and robbers. +Sam likes to play fireman with his toy truck and his red hat. He pretends to drive fast and put out fires with his hose.

He asks, "What is it, dad?" + +His dad says, "I have a special ring for you. It is a fireman ring. It shows that you are brave and helpful, like a fireman.

Sam thinks it is the most beautiful ring he has ever seen. + +His dad says, "This ring is for you, Sam. You can wear it on your finger, or on a chain around your neck. It is a gift from me, to show you how proud I am of you. You are my successful fireman son. I love you, Sam." + +Sam feels happy and warm. He hugs his dad and says, "Thank you, dad. I love you too. You are the best fireman in the world. Can I try on the ring?" + +His dad says, "Of course, you can. Here, let me help you." + +He puts the ring on Sam's finger. It fits perfectly.

It was brown and round and had eyes. + +"Look, a potato!" Lila said. "Can we keep it?" + +"Sure, why not?" Tom said. "Let's make it a car." + +They found some sticks and leaves and made wheels and a roof for the potato. They pretended it was a fast car that could speed on the road. + +"Vroom, vroom!" Tom said, pushing the potato car. "We are going to the zoo!" + +"Yay, I love the zoo!" Lila said, following him. "Maybe we can see the lions and the monkeys!" + +They ran with the potato car until they reached the gate of the park. There, they saw a man with a big bag. He was picking up the trash from the ground. + +"Hello, kids," the man said. "What do you have there?" + +"It's our potato car," Lila said. "We made it ourselves." + +The man smiled. He looked at the potato car and saw that it was dirty and old. He knew that it was not a good toy for the kids. + +"That's very creative," he said. "But you know, potatoes are not for playing. They are for eating. They can make you strong and healthy. Do you want to trade your potato car for something else?" + +Lila and Tom looked at each other. They liked their potato car, but they also liked to eat. They wondered what the man had in his bag. + +"What do you have?" Tom asked. + +The man opened his bag and showed them. He had some books, some crayons, some stickers, and some candy. + +"I have these things for kids who are nice and compassionate," he said. "You can choose one thing each, if you give me your potato car." + +Lila and Tom thought for a moment. They decided to trade their potato car for the books and the crayons. They thanked the man and gave him the potato car. + +"Thank you, kids," the man said. "You are very kind and generous. I will use your potato car to make a soup for myself. It will be delicious." + +He took the potato car and put it in his bag. He waved goodbye to Lila and Tom and walked away. + +Lila and Tom hugged each other. They were happy with their new things. They sat on a bench and started to read and draw. They learned new words and made new pictures. They still liked to play, but they also liked to share. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big machine that gave out gum. Lily wanted some gum. She asked Ben for a coin. + +"Please, Ben, can I have a coin? I want some gum. Gum is sweet and fun to chew." + +Ben said no. He wanted to keep his coin. He said gum was bad for teeth. + +"No, Lily, you can't have a coin. Gum is bad for teeth. It makes them dirty and hurt. You don't need gum. Let's play on the slide." + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted some gum very much. She did not want to play on the slide. She yelled at Ben. + +"Ben, you are mean and selfish! You don't share your coin. You don't care about me. I hate you!" + +Ben was shocked and hurt. He did not like Lily yelling at him. He yelled back at Lily. + +"Lily, you are rude and greedy! You don't listen to me. You only want gum. I hate you too!" + +Lily and Ben stopped being friends. They ran away from each other. They did not play together anymore. They did not have any gum or any fun. They were both lonely and unhappy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy vehicles in the park. They liked to pretend that they were rescuing people and animals from danger. Lily had a charming red fire truck and Ben had a big yellow bulldozer. + +"Look, there is a cat stuck in the tree!" Lily said, pointing to a fluffy white cat. "I will rescue it with my fire truck!" + +She drove her fire truck to the tree and extended the ladder. She climbed up and reached for the cat. The cat was scared and scratched her hand. Lily cried out and let go of the ladder. She fell to the ground and hurt her arm. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily sobbed. "The cat is mean and my arm is broken!" + +Ben heard her cry and ran to her with his bulldozer. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how. He thought maybe he could lift her up with his bulldozer and take her to the doctor. + +He drove his bulldozer to Lily and tried to scoop her up with the shovel. But he was not careful and he hit her with the shovel. Lily screamed louder and blood came out of her arm. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Lily shouted. "You are hurting me more!" + +Ben was scared and confused. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to rescue her. He stopped his bulldozer and got off. He looked at Lily and saw her arm was bleeding and twisted. He felt very sorry and very bad. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ben said. "I was trying to help you, not hurt you!" + +But Lily did not hear him. She was too hurt and too angry. She did not want to play with him anymore. She did not want to see his bulldozer or his face. She wanted her mom and dad to come and take her away. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park in summer. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a fake phone. It is pink and shiny. Sara likes to pretend she is talking to someone. She says, "Hello, this is Sara. How are you?" + +Ben wants to play with the fake phone too. He asks Sara, "Can I have a turn?" + +Sara says, "No, this is my phone. You can't have it." + +Ben is sad. He says, "Please, Sara. Just for a little bit." + +Sara says, "No, no, no. Go away." + +Ben is angry. He says, "Fine. I don't want to be your friend anymore." He runs away. + +Sara is happy. She has the fake phone all to herself. She says, "I don't need Ben. I have my phone." + +But then, something bad happens. Sara drops the fake phone. It falls into a hole. Sara can't reach it. She tries to get it, but she can't. She cries. + +She looks for Ben. She wants to say sorry. She wants to play with him. But Ben is gone. He is playing with other kids. He doesn't see Sara. + +Sara is alone. She has no phone. She has no friend. She loses both. She is very sad. She wishes she was nice to Ben. She wishes she shared her phone. She learns a lesson. She says, "I was wrong. I was mean. I want to be a good friend." +Sara and Ben love to visit the farm with their mom and dad. They like to see the animals and feed them carrots and apples. One day, they saw a new animal in the stable. It was big and brown and had a long neck and spots. Sara and Ben had never seen an animal like that before. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"That is a giraffe," mom said. "He is very unique. He came from a far away place where there are many giraffes. He is here to make friends with the other animals." + +Sara and Ben wanted to say hello to the giraffe. They walked slowly to the stable, holding mom's hand. The giraffe looked at them with big eyes and a long tongue. He seemed friendly and curious. + +"Can we feed him?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. He is very tall and his head is heavy. You have to hold the food up high and let him take it gently," mom said. + +Sara and Ben each took a carrot from mom's bag and lifted their arms up. The giraffe leaned down and stretched his neck. He took the carrot from Sara's hand with his tongue and crunched it. Sara giggled. He did the same with Ben's carrot. Ben smiled. + +The giraffe liked the carrots. He wanted more. He looked around and saw more carrots in mom's bag. He reached his neck over Sara and Ben and tried to grab the bag. But he moved too fast and his head bumped into the stable roof. He made a loud noise and stumbled back. Sara and Ben were startled and let go of mom's hand. They stumbled too and fell on the hay. + +Mom quickly picked them up and hugged them. "Are you okay?" she asked. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were not hurt, just surprised. They looked at the giraffe. He looked sorry and embarrassed. He lowered his head and licked their faces. He was trying to say sorry too. + +Sara and Ben laughed. They forgave the giraffe. They petted his soft fur and gave him more carrots. They liked the giraffe. He was unique and funny. They made a new friend at the farm. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big puddle of water. They want to splash in it. + +"Can we splash, Mom?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, but be careful. There is oil in the water. It makes the water purple and slippery," Mom says. + +Lila and Tom run to the puddle. They jump and splash. They laugh and have fun. They make the water fly in the air. + +But then, Tom slips on the oil. He falls down and gets wet and dirty. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! I hurt my knee!" Tom says. + +Mom runs to Tom. She picks him up and hugs him. + +"It's okay, Tom. I will clean you up and put a band-aid on your knee. You will feel better soon," Mom says. + +Lila feels sorry for Tom. She gives him her teddy bear. + +"Here, Tom. You can have my teddy. He will make you happy," Lila says. + +Tom smiles and hugs the teddy. He says thank you to Lila. + +Lila and Tom are good friends. They share and care. They love each other. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big truck stop near the gate. The truck had many packages on it. Anna and Ben wanted to see what was inside the packages. + +They ran to the truck and climbed on it. They opened one package. It had red bottles in it. Anna and Ben did not know what the bottles were. They smelled them. They smelled spicy. + +"Let's try some," Anna said. She opened a bottle and drank some. It was hot sauce. Anna felt fire in her mouth. She spit it out and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It's too spicy!" Anna said. + +Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He took another bottle and shook it. He wanted to spray Anna with it. But he was not careful. He slipped and fell off the truck. He dropped the bottle. It broke and spilled hot sauce all over him. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It's too spicy!" Ben said. + +Anna and Ben both cried. They ran to the water fountain. They washed their mouths and faces. They felt better. + +The truck driver came back. He saw the mess on his truck. He was angry. He shouted at Anna and Ben. + +"Hey, you kids! What did you do to my packages? These are hot sauces for the restaurant. They are very spicy. You should not touch them. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They said sorry and ran away. They learned their lesson. They never touched packages again. +Tom and Lily were playing on the farm. They liked to see the animals and the plants. They saw a big field of wheat. The wheat was yellow and soft. They wanted to touch it. + +"Can we go to the wheat, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. Don't step on the wheat or pull it out. It is food for us and the animals," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the wheat. They felt the soft stems and the fluffy tops. They saw some wheat that had fallen on the ground. They picked it up and made a pile. + +"Let's build something with the wheat," Lily said. + +"What can we build?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe a house, or a boat, or a hat," Lily said. + +They started to build with the wheat. They used some sticks to make the frame and some leaves to make the roof. They made a small house with a door and a window. They were very proud of their house. + +"Look, Mom, we built a house with the wheat!" Tom shouted. + +Mom came to see their house. She smiled and praised them. + +"That's a very nice house, Tom and Lily. You are very creative and clever. But remember, the wheat is not a toy. It is a plant that grows and gives us food. We have to respect it and take care of it," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They thanked the wheat for letting them play with it. They put the wheat back where they found it. They hugged Mom and went to play with the animals. They had a fun day on the farm. +Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys and books and clothes, but they were not happy. They wanted to play with other kids, but their mom and dad did not let them. They said it was not safe to go outside, and that they had everything they needed inside. + +One day, Anna and Ben saw a new family move in next door. They had a girl and a boy who looked about their age. Anna and Ben watched them from their window, and saw them run and laugh and play in their yard. They wished they could join them, but they knew their mom and dad would not let them. + +The next day, Anna and Ben had an idea. They waited until their mom and dad were busy, and then they sneaked out of their room. They ran down the stairs, and opened the door. They felt the sun and the wind on their faces, and heard the birds and the cars. They felt excited and scared, but they did not stop. They ran across the street, and knocked on the door of the new family. + +The girl and the boy opened the door, and smiled at them. They asked them their names, and invited them to play. Anna and Ben said yes, and followed them to their yard. They played with a ball, a bike, a doll, and a truck. They had so much fun, and made new friends. + +Their mom and dad did not know where they were, and they were very worried. They looked everywhere in the house, and then they saw the door was open. They ran outside, and saw Anna and Ben playing with the new family. They were angry and relieved, and they called them to come back.

"This is our snowman, Bob. He is our friend." + +The lady nodded and said, "He is very nice. You did a good job. But you know, snowmen do not last forever. When the sun comes out, they will melt and move away." + +Lily and Ben looked sad. They did not want Bob to melt and move away. They liked him a lot. + +"Can we keep him?" they asked. + +The lady shook her head and said, "No, you can't. Snowmen belong to the snow. They are happy there. But you can always make another one when it snows again." + +Lily and Ben thought about it. They decided the lady was right. They hugged Bob and said goodbye. + +"Bye, Bob!" they said. "We will miss you. But we will see you again." + +Bob did not say anything. He was made of snow and could not talk.

She said, "But he is in the hole! He can't get out! He is too old!" Her mom said, "He can get out, Lily. He has a ladder. He is not too old. He is very strong and smart. He knows how to dig and plant. He is doing his job." + +Lily still felt scared. She said, "But he is alone! He has no friends! He is sad!" Her mom said, "He is not alone, Lily. He has us. We are his friends. He is not sad. He is happy. He loves his job. He loves the park. He loves the flowers and trees. He loves the birds and the squirrels. And he loves you and Spot." + +Lily looked at the man again. She saw him smile and wave at her. She saw him put a flower in his bucket. She saw him climb the ladder and get out of the hole.

He thought it was scary. + +"That is not a cherry, Lily. That is a thread. A thread is for sewing, not for eating. It can make you sick. Take it out!" he said. + +Lily frowned. She did not want to take it out. She thought it was pretty. + +"No, Ben, it is a cherry. It will make the cake sweet. I want to keep it!" she said. + +They started to argue. They pulled the spoon and the bowl. They did not see that the bowl was tipping over. The cake mix spilled on the floor. It made a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said. + +They heard their mom coming. They were afraid. They knew they were in trouble. They hid under the table. They hoped their mom would not see the thread in the cake mix. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cooler in the yard. It was broken and had no ice or drinks inside. But Tom and Sam thought it was a fun toy.

A little dog saw the melon and started to follow Tim. + +The dog barked, "Woof! Woof!" Tim looked at the dog and said, "Hello, little dog! Do you want to help me with the melon?"
