They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to pick some flowers for their mom. + +"Look, Tom, there are red flowers. Mom likes red. Let's get some for her," Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The hill is steep and there are rocks," Tom said. + +They ran up the hill and picked some red flowers. They were happy and smiled. But then Lily saw a bigger and prettier flower. It was on the edge of the hill. She wanted to get it for mom. + +"Tom, look, I see a big flower. I want to get it. Wait for me," Lily said. + +She ran to the edge of the hill and reached for the flower. But she did not see the rock. She tripped and fell. She cut her knee and her arm. She cried and cried. The flower fell too. + +Tom saw Lily fall and ran to help her. He was scared and sad. He hugged Lily and said, "Lily, Lily, are you OK? I'm sorry. I'm here." + +But Lily did not stop crying. She was hurt and bleeding. The red flowers were not pretty anymore. They were mixed with blood. Tom and Lily wished they did not go to the hill. They wished they stayed on the slide. They wished mom was here. +One day, Tom and Sue went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They also saw a big field of oats, where the farmer grew food for the animals. + +"Can we have some oats, mom?" Tom asked. He liked to eat oats for breakfast, with milk and honey. + +"Sure, honey. Let's ask the farmer if he can give us some," mom said. She smiled and waved at the farmer, who was driving a tractor. + +"Hello, farmer. We are visiting your farm today. Can we have some oats, please?" mom asked. + +"Hello, mom. Of course you can have some oats. They are very good for you. Here, take this bag. It has some ordinary oats and some special oats," the farmer said. He gave mom a big bag of oats. + +"What are special oats, farmer?" Sue asked. She was curious about the different oats. + +"Special oats are oats that have a different color or shape. They are rare and sometimes have a different taste. Do you want to try some?" the farmer asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Sue said. They each took a handful of special oats and put them in their mouths. + +"Mmm, this one is sweet and pink. I like it," Tom said. + +"Yuck, this one is bitter and black. I don't like it," Sue said. + +The farmer laughed. "That's the fun of special oats. You never know what you will get. But don't worry, they are all safe and healthy. Do you want to feed some to the animals?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Sue said. They followed the farmer to the barn, where they fed some oats to the cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. The animals liked the oats, both ordinary and special. + +Tom and Sue had a lot of fun at the farm. They thanked the farmer for the oats and said goodbye to the animals. They went back to the car with their mom and dad, who were happy to see them. + +"Did you enjoy the farm, kids?" dad asked. + +"Yes, dad. We had oats and we fed the animals. It was fun," Tom and Sue said. + +"That's great, kids. Maybe we can come back another day and see more of the farm," dad said. + +Tom and Sue nodded. They were tired but happy. They had a good day at the farm. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play on the beach. One day, they find a big, wide shell. It is shiny and pretty. + +"Wow, look at this shell!" Sara says. "It is so big and nice. I want it for me." + +"No, I want it for me!" Ben says. "I saw it first. It is mine." + +They start to pull the shell. They are angry and loud. They do not want to share. + +A crab comes out of the sand. It is small and red. It sees the shell. It likes the shell. It wants to live in the shell. + +"Hey, stop that!" the crab says. "That is my shell. I live in it. You are hurting it. Let it go." + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They look at the crab. They feel sorry. + +"Sorry, crab," Sara says. "We did not know. We thought it was just a shell. We did not mean to hurt it." + +"Sorry, crab," Ben says. "We were selfish. We should have shared. We do not need the shell. You need it more." + +They let go of the shell. They give it to the crab. The crab is happy. It goes back to the shell. It says thank you. + +Sara and Ben hug each other. They are not angry anymore. They are happy too. They learned to be kind and to share. They find other shells to play with. They have fun on the beach. +Lily and Ben are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the lions and the monkeys and the birds. Mom tells them to pack their bags. They need to bring water, snacks, hats and toys. + +Lily packs her bag fast. She puts in her water bottle, her crackers, her pink hat and her doll. She zips her bag and puts it on her back. She is ready to go. + +Ben packs his bag slow. He puts in his water bottle, his cookies, his blue hat and his lion. His lion is very dirty. He plays with it every day. He loves his lion. He hugs his lion and says, "You are my best friend. We will see your family at the zoo." + +Mom looks at Ben's bag. She sees his dirty lion. She says, "Ben, your lion is very dirty. He needs a bath. He will be happier if he is clean. Can I wash him for you?" + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Mom. I like my lion dirty. He is soft and cuddly. He does not like water. He will be sad if you wash him." + +Mom smiles. She says, "OK, Ben. I understand. You can keep your lion dirty. But you have to promise me to wash your hands before you eat. And don't let your lion touch the other animals. They might not like his dirt." + +Ben nods. He says, "OK, Mom. I promise. Thank you for letting me keep my lion dirty. He is happy. And I am happy too." + +Mom, Dad, Lily and Ben go to the car. They put their bags in the trunk. They buckle their seat belts. They drive to the zoo. They are excited to see the animals. Especially the lions. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many old things. They see a shiny key. Lily wants the key. Ben wants the key too. + +They both grab the key and pull. They yell and cry. Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees them fighting over the key. She is not happy. She takes the key from them and says, "This is not a toy. This is a special key. It belongs to your grandpa. He gave it to me before he went to heaven. He told me to sell it and use the money for something good." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They hug mom and say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We thought it was a toy. We love you and grandpa." Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my adorable twins. I know you did not mean to hurt me. But you have to be careful with old things. They may have stories and memories. They may be worth a lot of money. Or they may be priceless." + +Mom puts the key in a safe place. She tells Lily and Ben to go and play with their other toys. She says, "Maybe one day, I will tell you the story of this key. Maybe one day, I will sell it and use the money for something good. Maybe one day, I will give it to you when you are older. But for now, it is mine. And it is grandpa's. And it is not a toy." +Anna and Ben were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a big basket. They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a tree. + +"Can I help set the table, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can take the plates and napkins out of the basket," Mom said. + +Anna opened the basket and took out four plates and four napkins. She put them on the blanket. Then she reached for the cheese. But the cheese was too heavy for her. She tried to lift it, but it slipped from her hands. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. She dropped the cheese on the grass. + +Ben saw what happened and ran to help. He picked up the cheese and wiped it with a napkin. + +"It's okay, Anna. The cheese is still good. Don't be sad," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. And very powerful," Anna said. + +Ben smiled and hugged his sister. He put the cheese on a plate and cut a slice for her. + +"Here you go, Anna. Cheese is yummy. Let's enjoy our picnic," Ben said. + +Anna smiled and took a bite of the cheese. She felt better. She gave Ben a slice of bread and some juice. + +"You are right, Ben. Cheese is yummy. And so is bread and juice. And so are you," Anna said. + +Mom and Dad watched their children share their food and their love. They were very proud of them. They joined them on the blanket and had a wonderful picnic together. They laughed and talked and ate until they were full. Then they lay down on the blanket and looked at the sky. They saw clouds and birds and a big sun. They felt happy and grateful. They had a perfect day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But it was a hot day and the sun was bright. Anna's mom gave them some lotion to put on their skin. She said it would help them not get burned. + +"Let me help you, Ben," Anna said. She took the lotion and rubbed it on Ben's arms and face. Ben did the same for Anna. They smiled at each other and said thank you. + +They went back to play, but they saw something new. It was a large balloon. It was red and shiny and had a basket. Anna and Ben ran to see it. They saw a man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a rope that was tied to the balloon. + +"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you like my balloon?" + +"Yes, we do," Anna and Ben said. "It is very pretty. Can we touch it?" + +"Sure, you can," the man said. "But be careful, it is very light. Do you want to see inside the basket?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were curious. The man lifted them up and put them in the basket. They saw some blankets, some bottles and some buttons. + +"What are these for?" Anna asked. + +"These are for flying," the man said. "Do you want to fly with me?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were excited, but also scared. They did not know the man. They did not know where he would take them. They did not know if their mom would see them. + +"Maybe we should go back," Ben said. "Our mom is waiting for us." + +But the man did not listen. He smiled and pulled the rope. The balloon started to rise. Anna and Ben screamed. They wanted to get out. They wanted to go back to the park. They wanted to see their mom. + +But it was too late. The balloon was in the air. The man laughed. He had a plan. He was not a nice man. He was a bad man. He wanted to take Anna and Ben far away. He wanted to sell them to a circus. He did not care about them. He only cared about money. + +Anna and Ben did not know what to do. They were trapped. They were scared. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had not touched the balloon. They wished they had stayed with their mom. They wished they had listened to her. She had told them to always be careful of strangers. She had told them to always stay close to her. She had told them to always use lotion. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with paper. They had many colors of paper, but Lily's favorite was pink. She had a big pink paper that she wanted to make a flower with. + +One day, Lily and Ben were playing with paper when Ben saw Lily's pink paper. He wanted to have it, because he liked pink too. He asked Lily if he could have it, but Lily said no. She said it was her paper and she needed it for her flower. + +Ben was angry and did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the pink paper and tried to pull it from Lily's hands. Lily held on tight and did not let go. They both pulled and pulled, until the pink paper tore in half. They each had a piece of the paper, but it was not big enough to make anything. + +Lily and Ben looked at the torn paper and felt sad. They had ruined the paper and their friendship. They both said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the paper and make something together. They used the paper to make a score card for a game they invented. They had fun playing the game and forgot about the flower. + +The moral of the story is that sharing is better than fighting, and that friends are more important than things. +Lily wanted to build a house with sticks. She found many sticks in the yard and piled them up. She tried to make a wall, but the sticks fell down. She tried again, but the sticks fell down again. She felt sad and angry. + +She saw her big brother Tom playing with his blocks. He made a tall tower and smiled. Lily wanted to play with the blocks too, but Tom said no. He said she was too little and would knock down his tower. He told her to go away and play with her sticks. Lily felt more sad and angry. + +She went back to her sticks and had an idea. She asked her mom for some glue. Mom gave her a bottle of glue and showed her how to use it. Lily put glue on the ends of the sticks and stuck them together. She made a wall, then another wall, then a roof. She made a door and a window. She made a house with sticks and glue. She felt happy and proud. + +She called Tom and Mom to see her house. Tom came and looked at it. He was surprised and impressed. He said it was a good house and asked if he could play in it. Lily said yes, but only if he was nice. Mom came and looked at it. She hugged Lily and said it was a wonderful house and she was very clever. Lily said thank you and smiled. + +They all played in the house with sticks and glue. They had fun and forgot about the gloomy sky. Lily succeeded in building a house and making friends. She was happy. +Tom and Mia like to play with balls. They have many balls of different colors and sizes. Some are big and soft, some are small and hard, some are round and smooth, some are zigzag and bumpy. + +One day, they decide to play a game with the zigzag balls. They take turns to throw them at each other and try to catch them. The zigzag balls are fun to throw and catch, because they bounce in different ways. Sometimes they go up, sometimes they go down, sometimes they go left, sometimes they go right. + +Tom throws a zigzag ball at Mia, but she misses it. The ball bounces off the wall and hits a vase. The vase falls and breaks. Tom and Mia hear a loud noise and see the pieces of the vase on the floor. They feel scared and sorry. They know they did something bad. + +They run to their mom and tell her what happened. They say they are sorry and they did not mean to break the vase. They say they were playing with the zigzag balls and they did not see the vase. Mom is not happy, but she is not angry. She hugs them and says she loves them. She says they should be more careful when they play with the balls. She says they should help her clean up the mess. + +Tom and Mia help mom pick up the pieces of the vase and put them in a bag. They say they will not play with the zigzag balls inside the house anymore. They say they will play with them outside in the yard, where there is more space and nothing to break. Mom smiles and says that is a good idea. She says they can play with the balls after they have a snack. Tom and Mia are happy and say thank you. They love mom and they love the zigzag balls. +Tim was a boy who liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he walked, and when he ate. He whistled all the time, because it made him happy. + +One day, he smelled something good in the kitchen. He followed his nose and saw a pie on the table. It was a big pie, with red and juicy berries on top. Tim's mouth watered. He wanted to taste the pie. + +He looked around and saw no one. His mom and dad were not home. They had gone to work. His sister was at school. He was alone in the house. He felt lonely. + +He decided to whistle to cheer himself up. He whistled a loud and happy tune. He whistled so loud that he did not hear the door open. He did not see his grandma come in. + +His grandma heard the whistle and smiled. She knew it was Tim. She loved Tim very much. She had baked the pie for him. She wanted to surprise him. + +She walked into the kitchen and saw Tim standing by the table. He had a big slice of pie in his hand. He had crumbs on his face. He looked guilty. + +"Tim, what are you doing?" she asked. + +Tim stopped whistling. He dropped the pie. He was scared. He thought his grandma would be angry. + +"I'm sorry, grandma," he said. "I was lonely. I wanted some pie. It smelled so good." + +His grandma hugged him. She was not angry. She was glad. + +"It's okay, Tim," she said. "I made the pie for you. You can have some. But next time, wait for me. I don't want you to be lonely. I want to share the pie with you. And I want to hear you whistle. You whistle so well." + +Tim smiled. He felt happy. He was not lonely anymore. He had his grandma. And he had pie. + +He whistled a thank you to his grandma. She whistled back. They laughed. They ate the pie. They whistled together. +Sam and Ben are playing in the park. They have a toy gun and a ball. Sam has the gun and Ben has the ball. Sam wants to catch Ben with the gun. He runs after him and says, "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Ben laughs and throws the ball at Sam. The ball hits Sam on the head. Sam drops the gun and says, "Ow, that hurts!" He rubs his head and feels angry. He picks up the gun and says, "Now I will get you!" + +Ben runs away and hides behind a tree. He sees a big dog coming. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. The dog barks and runs towards Ben. Ben is scared and screams, "Help, help, a dog!" + +Sam hears Ben and sees the dog. He forgets his anger and runs to help Ben. He points the gun at the dog and says, "Go away, bad dog!" The dog stops and looks at Sam. Sam makes a loud noise with the gun. The dog is afraid and runs away. + +Ben comes out from behind the tree and hugs Sam. He says, "Thank you, Sam, you saved me!" Sam smiles and says, "You are welcome, Ben, you are my friend!" They both laugh and play with the gun and the ball. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are brother and sister. They like to play in the kitchen when mom is not there. They see the dishwasher and think it is a fun toy. They open the door and pull out the racks. They see shiny plates and cups and spoons. + +"Look, Mia, we can move these and make a castle!" Tom says. He takes a plate and puts it on the floor. Mia takes a cup and puts it on top of the plate. + +"Wow, Tom, this is a great castle!" Mia says. She takes a spoon and pretends it is a flag. They laugh and clap their hands. + +But they do not see that the dishwasher is still on. It is making hot water and soap. The water and soap start to spill out of the door and onto the floor. The floor becomes wet and slippery. + +"Uh-oh, Tom, what is that?" Mia says. She points to the water and soap. Tom looks and feels scared. + +"I don't know, Mia, but it is bad!" Tom says. He tries to stand up and run away. But he slips on the wet floor and falls down. He hits his head on the edge of the table and starts to cry. + +Mia tries to help him, but she also slips and falls. She drops the spoon and it breaks the cup. The cup makes a loud noise and cuts her hand. She also starts to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the children. She is very angry and sad. + +"Tom and Mia, what have you done?" she says. "You are naughty and careless! You could have hurt yourselves badly! The dishwasher is not a toy! It is dangerous! You are in big trouble!" + +She turns off the dishwasher and cleans the water and soap. She picks up the children and takes them to the bathroom. She puts a bandage on Mia's hand and a ice pack on Tom's head. She scolds them and tells them to go to their room. They have no dinner and no dessert. They have to stay in their room until morning. + +Tom and Mia feel sorry and ashamed. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They wish they had not played with the dishwasher. They wish they had listened to mom. They wish they had a good ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They had a magnifying glass to examine them closely. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, slimy thing. + +"Let me see!" Lily said, taking the magnifying glass. She looked at the worm and saw its tiny eyes and mouth. "It's so cool!" + +They put the worm in a jar and looked for more. They found a ladybug, a spider, a snail and a beetle. They examined each one and learned about their colors, shapes and legs. + +Then they saw something big and furry on the ground. It looked like a mouse, but it was not moving. + +"What's that?" Lily asked, curious. + +"I don't know. Let's examine it!" Ben said, bravely. + +They went closer and saw that the mouse had a big hole in its stomach. There were flies and ants crawling on it. It smelled bad. + +"Ew, gross!" Lily said, covering her nose. "It's disgusting!" + +"Yuck, I don't like it!" Ben said, backing away. "It's dead!" + +They ran away from the mouse and threw away their jar. They did not want to examine any more bugs or animals. They decided to play with their ball instead. They had more fun and forgot about the disgusting mouse. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a phone in their mom's room. It is light and shiny. Sara wants to play with it. Ben wants to play with it too. + +"Give me the phone!" Sara says. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. + +They pull the phone from each other. They are angry. They do not see their mom coming. + +"Stop!" their mom says. "What are you doing with my phone?" + +She takes the phone from them. She is not happy. + +"This is not a toy. This is my phone. I need it for work. You could break it or lose it. You have to ask me before you touch it." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They do not want to make their mom sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," they say. + +They hug their mom. She hugs them back. + +"It is okay. I forgive you. But you have to be careful with things that are not yours. And you have to share with each other. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. + +"Can we play with your phone, mom? Please?" they ask. + +Their mom smiles. She knows they like the phone. She wants to make them happy. + +"Okay, but only for a little while. And you have to take turns. And you have to believe me when I say it is time to stop. Deal?" + +Sara and Ben agree. They say "deal". They thank their mom. They take the phone. They play with it together. They are happy. They believe their mom. They are good twins. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to help others. One day, they saw a sign that said, "We need help to deliver food to old people who live alone." Tom and Lily wanted to do something good, so they signed up to help. + +They got a big bag of food and a map from the nice lady who ran the program. She told them to follow the map and knock on the doors of the old people. She said, "Be careful and polite, and don't go inside their houses. Just give them the food and say hello." + +Tom and Lily started their walk. They followed the map and found the first house. They knocked on the door and waited. An old man opened the door. He looked pale and tired. He smiled when he saw the food. He said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind. I don't have many visitors. It's lonely here." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the old man. They wanted to cheer him up. They said, "You're welcome, sir. We are happy to help. Do you like to play games? We have a deck of cards in our bag. We can play with you for a little while." + +The old man's eyes lit up. He said, "I love to play games. That would be very nice of you. Come in, come in. I have some cookies and milk for you." + +Tom and Lily forgot what the nice lady had told them. They went inside the old man's house. They played cards with him and ate cookies and milk. They had fun and laughed a lot. The old man looked less pale and more happy. + +They lost track of time. They didn't notice that it was getting dark outside. They didn't remember that they had more food to deliver. They didn't hear the nice lady calling them on their phone. + +When they finally realized how late it was, they said goodbye to the old man and ran out of the house. They looked at the map and saw that they had missed many houses. They felt bad. They had let down the other old people who needed food. They had broken the rules. They had been careless and rude. + +They ran back to the nice lady and apologized. They told her what had happened. The nice lady was not angry, but she was disappointed. She said, "I'm glad you made a friend, but you also made a mistake. You should have followed the instructions and delivered the food to all the old people. They were waiting for you and counting on you. You should have been more responsible and respectful." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, ma'am. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson. We will be more careful and polite next time." + +The nice lady nodded. She said, "I hope so. You have good hearts, but you also need good heads. Helping others is a good thing, but you have to do it the right way. Now, go home and get some rest. Tomorrow, you can try again." + +Tom and Lily thanked the nice lady and went home. They hugged each other and said, "We are still friends, right?" They said, "Yes, we are. And we will be better helpers, too." They smiled and went to bed. They dreamed of the old man and the cards and the cookies and the milk. They also dreamed of the other old people and the food and the hello. They hoped they would make them happy, too. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their shadows. They made funny shapes with their hands and feet and watched their shadows do the same. Sometimes they chased their shadows or tried to hide from them. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. It was a sunny day and their shadows were long and clear on the grass. Tom and Lily ran and jumped and laughed with their shadows. They saw a big tree with deep shade under it. They wanted to see what their shadows looked like in the shade. + +They ran to the tree and looked for their shadows. But they could not see them. The shade was too deep and dark. Tom and Lily felt scared. Where did their shadows go? Did they become lost? Did they become something else? + +They ran back to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom hugged them and explained. She said that shadows need light to show up. In the deep shade, there was not enough light for their shadows to be seen. But their shadows did not go away. They were still with them, just hidden. She said that if they went to a brighter place, their shadows would come back. + +Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked their mom and went to a sunny spot. They looked down and saw their shadows again. They were happy and relieved. They played with their shadows some more and had fun. They learned that shadows are not scary.

He has a key in his hand. + +"Maybe he has the key for the box," Ben says. + +They run to the man and say, "Hello, sir. Do you have the key for the box under the tree?" + +The man looks at them and smiles. He says, "Yes, I do. But you can't have it. The box is mine. It has gold inside. Gold is very precious and expensive. You can't touch it." + +He puts the key in his pocket and walks away. + +Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They want to see the gold. They want to play with it. + +They follow the man and wait for him to leave the park. When he is gone, they run to the box again. They see a small hole in the lock. They think of a way to open it. + +Ben says, "I have an idea. We can use a stick to open the lock. A stick is like a key, but normal." + +He finds a stick on the ground and puts it in the hole. He twists and turns it. The lock clicks and opens. + +Ben and Mia are happy. They open the box and see the gold. The gold is shiny and bright. It looks like the sun. + +They take some gold and put it in their pockets. They say, "We have gold now. We are rich. We can buy toys and candy and anything we want." + +They close the box and shut the lock. They run away from the park. They don't see the man coming back. They don't see him looking at the box. They don't see him getting angry. They don't see him chasing them. They don't see him shouting, "Stop! Give me back my gold!" +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the park. They have a ball, a doll, a car and a bear. They are happy and have fun. + +A man comes to the park. He is not nice. He is a thief. He wants to take the toys from Anna and Ben. He waits for them to look away. Then he runs and grabs the ball and the car. + +Anna and Ben see the thief. They are sad and angry. They shout, "Stop! Give us back our toys! You are bad!" + +The thief does not stop. He runs away with the toys. Anna and Ben chase him. They ask for help. They see a police officer. He is good. He hears them and sees the thief. + +The police officer runs after the thief. He catches him and takes the toys from him. He gives the toys back to Anna and Ben. He says, "I'm sorry this happened. The thief is bad. He will go to jail. You are brave. You did the right thing to ask for help." + +Anna and Ben are happy and thankful. They hug the police officer. They say, "Thank you for helping us. You are good. You are our hero." + +They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They are careful and watchful. They are friends. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. Mom said they were going to a high place with snow and mountains. + +"Can we make a snowman?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, we can," Dad said. "But first we have to get there. It's a long drive." + +Anna and Ben played with their toys and sang songs in the car. They saw many trees and houses and animals on the way. They also saw some big trucks and buses. Anna and Ben liked to wave at them and see if they honked back. + +After a long time, they saw the mountains. They were very high and white. Anna and Ben gasped. They had never seen anything like that before. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. + +"It's so beautiful!" Ben said. + +Mom and Dad smiled. They were happy to see their children excited. They drove up the winding road and reached the cabin where they were going to stay. + +"Here we are," Mom said. "Let's get out and stretch our legs." + +Anna and Ben jumped out of the car and ran to the snow. They felt the cold and the softness. They laughed and threw snowballs at each other. Mom and Dad joined them and they had a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Anna saw a big black bird in the sky. It was a crow. It flew down and landed on the car. It saw Anna's bag on the back seat. It pecked at the window and broke it. It grabbed Anna's bag and flew away. + +"Hey, that's my bag!" Anna shouted. "Come back!" + +She ran after the crow, but it was too fast and too high. She couldn't catch it. She felt very sad and angry. She started to cry. + +"Anna, stop!" Ben called. "It's dangerous!" + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and saw what happened. They ran to Anna and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, honey," Mom said. "That was a very mean bird. It took your bag with your toys and clothes." + +Anna sobbed. She loved her bag and her toys and clothes. She didn't want to leave them behind. She wanted them back. + +"Can we get them back?" she asked. + +Dad shook his head. "I don't think so, sweetie. The crow probably took them to its nest. It's too high and too far for us to reach." + +Anna felt worse. She wished they never came to this high place. She wished they stayed home. She didn't want to be on vacation anymore. She wanted to go back. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. They were very curious and happy. + +One day, they saw a hole in the hedge. The hedge was green and thick and made a wall around the garden. They wondered what was on the other side of the hedge. They decided to discover it together. + +They crawled through the hole and found a new place. It was a meadow with tall grass and wildflowers. They saw butterflies and bees and birds. They smelled the sweet air and felt the warm sun. They were very excited and amazed. + +They ran and rolled and laughed in the meadow. They picked some flowers and made a crown for Anna and a necklace for Ben. They also found a soft and fluffy rabbit. The rabbit was shy and scared at first, but then it let them pet it and feed it some grass. They were very gentle and kind. + +They had a lot of fun in the meadow, but they also missed their home. They said goodbye to the rabbit and thanked it for being their friend. They went back through the hole and into the garden. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They were very proud and happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing in the park. One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. If you are good and listen to me, you will get a yummy treat after we go home." + +Ben and Lily were very excited. They wondered what the treat could be. Maybe it was ice cream, or cookies, or candy. They tried to be good and listen to their mom, but they also wanted to have fun. They ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They giggled and shouted, "Whee!" + +Then they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry, and had a long tail. He looked friendly, but he was also very big. He came closer to Ben and Lily, wagging his tail. He sniffed them and licked their faces. Ben and Lily were scared. They did not like the dog. They cried, "Mommy, help!" + +Their mom came quickly and picked them up. She held them tight and said, "Don't worry, he is a nice dog. He just wants to play. But you don't have to play with him if you don't want to. Let's go to the swings instead." + +Ben and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They felt safe and happy. They went to the swings and their mom pushed them gently. They smiled and said, "We love you, mommy." + +Their mom smiled back and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. And I have a yummy treat for you. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Ben and Lily nodded eagerly. They wanted to know what the treat was. Their mom said, "It is a banana split. It has bananas, ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and cherries. Do you like that?" + +Ben and Lily clapped their hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes! We love banana splits! Thank you, mommy!" + +Their mom said, "You're welcome, my darlings. You deserve it. You were good and listened to me. And you were brave with the dog. Now let's go home and enjoy our yummy treat." +Sara and Anna were playing with their dolls and their tea set. They liked to pretend they were wealthy ladies who had fancy dresses and hats. Sara had a pink dress and Anna had a blue dress. They put their dolls on chairs and poured tea for them. + +"Would you like some more tea, Miss Lily?" Sara asked her doll. + +"Yes, please, Miss Rose. You are very kind," Anna made her doll say. + +Sara poured more tea for Miss Lily, but she poured too much. The tea spilled over the cup and onto the doll's dress. Anna gasped. + +"Look what you did! You ruined my doll's dress! It's all wet and stained!" Anna cried. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Sara said. + +"You're a bad friend! You don't know how to pour tea! You can't play with me anymore!" Anna shouted. + +She grabbed her doll and ran away. Sara felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with Anna, but Anna was mean to her. She didn't want to say sorry anymore. She picked up her doll and hugged her. + +"It's okay, Miss Rose. You're still a good friend. We don't need Anna. We can have our own tea party," Sara said. + +She poured tea for herself and her doll. She tried to smile, but she felt lonely. She wished Anna would come back and play with her. She missed her friend. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big puddle. It is wet and shiny. They want to jump in it. + +They run to the puddle and jump. Splash! The water goes up and down. They laugh and jump again. Splash! They are wet and happy. + +Then, they see something in the puddle. It is a frog. It is green and small. It hops out of the water and looks at them. It is friendly. It says, "Ribbit, ribbit." + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They have never seen a frog before. They want to say hello. They bend down and smile. They say, "Hi, frog. We are Tom and Lily. Do you want to play with us?" + +The frog nods and hops closer. It says, "Ribbit, ribbit. I am Fred. I like to play in the puddle. It is fun and cool. Can I join you?" + +Tom and Lily nod and clap. They say, "Yes, Fred. You can join us. We can be friends. Let's play together." + +They take turns to jump in the puddle with Fred. They splash and laugh. They have a lot of fun. They are wet and friendly. They are happy. +Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They have a big ball and a small ball. They like to kick the balls and catch them. Sometimes they roll the balls on the grass. + +"Look, Tom, I can bring the big ball to you!" Anna says. She picks up the big ball and runs to Tom. The big ball is heavy and hard to hold. She drops the big ball and it bounces away. + +"Oh no, Anna, the big ball is going to the exit!" Tom says. He points to the gate of the park. The big ball is rolling fast to the gate. They run after the big ball. + +"Stop, ball, stop!" Anna shouts. But the big ball does not stop. It goes through the gate and onto the road. There are many cars and bikes on the road. They honk and beep. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Anna cry. They are scared. They do not know what to do. + +A man sees the big ball and the children. He is walking his dog. He runs to the road and stops the cars and bikes. He picks up the big ball and brings it back to the park. He gives the big ball to Tom and Anna. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Anna say. They hug the big ball and the man. They are happy and relieved. + +"Be careful, children. The big ball is too heavy for you. Play with the small ball instead. And stay away from the exit. The road is dangerous." The man says. He smiles and walks away with his dog. + +Tom and Anna nod and say sorry. They put the big ball in a corner and play with the small ball. They have fun and do not go near the exit. They are safe and smart. +Tim and Sue wanted to see the reindeer at the farm. They put on their hats and coats and asked their mom to take them. Mom said yes and drove them to the farm. + +At the farm, they saw many animals. They saw cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. But they did not see any reindeer. They asked a farmer where the reindeer were. The farmer said they were in a big barn, but they were not very happy. + +"Why are they not happy?" Tim asked. + +"Because they are not used to being in a barn. They like to be outside in the snow and the cold. They are uncomfortable in the barn. They miss their home in the north," the farmer said. + +"Can we see them anyway?" Sue asked. + +"Sure, but be very quiet and gentle. They are scared of loud noises and fast movements," the farmer said. + +He led them to the barn and opened the door. Tim and Sue saw many reindeer inside. They had brown fur, big antlers, and black noses. They looked sad and bored. Some of them were lying down, some of them were standing still, and some of them were walking around. + +Tim and Sue wanted to cheer them up. They decided to count them and say hello to each one. They whispered to each other and pointed at the reindeer. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There are ten reindeer in the barn," Tim said. + +"Hello, reindeer. We are Tim and Sue. We are your friends. We hope you feel better soon," Sue said. + +The reindeer heard their voices and looked at them. They saw that Tim and Sue were not mean or loud. They saw that they were kind and gentle. They felt a little bit less scared and a little bit more curious. They moved closer to Tim and Sue and sniffed them. They let Tim and Sue touch their fur and their antlers. They made soft noises and wagged their tails. + +Tim and Sue smiled and laughed. They felt happy and warm. They thanked the farmer and said goodbye to the reindeer. They hoped the reindeer would go back to their home in the north soon. They told their mom all about their adventure. They said they loved the reindeer and wanted to see them again. Mom said maybe they would, if they were good and lucky. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big figure near the trees. It was light and shiny. Sara and Ben wanted to see it. + +"Come on, let's go!" Sara said. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. + +They ran to the figure. It was a car. But not a normal car. It had wires and buttons and lights. Sara and Ben were curious. They touched the car. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Sara said. + +"Look, there is a door. Let's go inside!" Ben said. + +They opened the door and climbed in. The car was dark inside. But there were more buttons and lights. Sara and Ben pressed them. + +"Beep, beep, beep!" The car made noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" The car started to move. + +"Help, help, help!" Sara and Ben screamed. + +They did not know how to stop the car. The car went faster and faster. It went out of the park. It went on the road. It went into a big truck. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" The car and the truck crashed. + +Sara and Ben were hurt. They could not get out. They cried and cried. + +"Mommy, daddy, where are you?" Sara said. + +"I don't know, Sara. I'm scared," Ben said. + +They tried to remember their home. They tried to remember their parents. They tried to remember their toys. But they could not. They only remembered the light figure. The car that took them away. The car that made them sad. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box of string in the closet. They wonder what they can do with it. + +"Let's make a necklace!" Lily says. She takes a piece of string and puts a bead on it. She tries to tie a knot, but it is hard. The string slips and the bead falls off. + +"Let me help you," Tom says. He takes the string and makes a loop. He pulls the end through the loop and makes a knot. He shows Lily how to do it. "You have to learn how to tie a knot. It is easy and fun." + +Lily tries again. She makes a loop and pulls the end through. She makes a knot. She is happy. She puts another bead on the string and makes another knot. She does it again and again. She makes a long necklace. + +"Wow, you are good at this!" Tom says. He takes another piece of string and makes a bracelet. He puts beads and buttons on it. He makes knots too. + +They make more necklaces and bracelets. They use different colors and shapes of string and beads. They have fun. They are proud of their work. + +"Look, we made beautiful jewelry!" Lily says. She puts a necklace around her neck and a bracelet on her wrist. She gives another necklace to Tom. "This is for you. You are my dependable friend. You always help me and teach me new things." + +"Thank you, Lily. You are my dependable friend too. You always share with me and listen to me." Tom says. He puts the necklace around his neck and a bracelet on his wrist. He gives another bracelet to Lily. "This is for you. You are my creative friend. You always have good ideas and make nice things." + +They hug each other. They are happy. They learned how to tie knots and make jewelry. They learned how to be dependable and creative friends. They learned a lot from the string. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. One day, their mom took them to the store to buy some toys. Lily saw a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. She wanted it very much. Max saw a red car with four wheels and a horn. He wanted it very much too. + +"Mom, can I have this doll?" Lily asked. + +"Mom, can I have this car?" Max asked. + +Mom looked at the price tags and shook her head. "Sorry, kids, these toys are too expensive. You can each choose one toy that costs less than five dollars." + +Lily and Max were sad. They looked around the store for cheaper toys, but they did not like any of them. They still wanted the doll and the car. + +"Let's make a plan," Lily whispered to Max. "We can hide the doll and the car under our coats and walk out of the store. Mom won't notice. Then we can play with them at home." + +Max thought for a moment. He knew that stealing was wrong, but he really wanted the car. He nodded and followed Lily's plan. They grabbed the doll and the car and hid them under their coats. They walked towards the exit, pretending to be innocent. + +But they did not know that the store had cameras and alarms. As soon as they crossed the door, a loud beep sounded and a voice said, "Stop! You are stealing!" + +Mom heard the noise and turned around. She saw Lily and Max with the doll and the car under their coats. She was shocked and angry. + +"Lily! Max! What have you done? How could you be so selfish and dishonest? You have to return the toys and apologize to the store manager. And you will be punished when we get home. No TV, no dessert, no bedtime story for a week!" + +Lily and Max felt ashamed and scared. They realized that their plan was a bad idea. They wished they had listened to Mom and chosen cheaper toys. They learned a hard lesson that day: stealing is not worth it. +Sam and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They are having fun. But then Sam notices a big dog. The dog is barking and running towards them. Sam is scared. He runs to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a big dog!" Sam cries. + +Lily does not run. She likes dogs. She thinks the dog wants to play. She stays and smiles at the dog. She says, "Hi, doggy. Do you want to be my friend?" + +But the dog is not friendly. The dog is angry. The dog jumps on Lily and bites her arm. Lily screams. She is hurt. She drops her teddy bear. + +Sam's mom hears Lily scream. She runs to help her. She pushes the dog away. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Lily. I'm here. You are brave. But you need to be careful. Some dogs are not nice. They can hurt you." + +Lily cries. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play. But the dog was mean. He hurt me and my teddy bear." + +Sam's mom says, "Don't be sorry, Lily. It's not your fault. The dog was bad. He should not bite. Come, let's go to the nurse. She will make you feel better. And we will fix your teddy bear too." + +Sam comes to Lily. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was scared. I should have stayed with you. Are you okay?" + +Lily says, "I'm okay, Sam. Thank you for coming. You are my friend." + +Sam says, "You are my friend too, Lily. I'm sorry the dog hurt you. I hope you feel better soon." + +Sam and Lily hug. They are friends. They go to the nurse with Sam's mom. The nurse is nice. She cleans Lily's arm and puts a band-aid on it. She gives Lily a sticker and a lollipop. She says, "You are a brave girl, Lily. You will be fine. But remember, not all dogs are friendly. You should always ask before you pet them. And if a dog barks or growls, you should stay away." + +Lily says, "Okay, nurse. I will remember. Thank you for helping me." + +Sam says, "Thank you, nurse. You are kind." + +The nurse says, "You're welcome, Sam and Lily. You are good kids. Now go and play. But be careful and have fun." + +Sam and Lily smile. They take their teddy bear and lollipop. They go back to the park. They play some more. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily was a lawyer. She helped people with their problems. She worked very hard every day. She liked her job, but she was very tired. + +One day, Lily got a big win. She helped a nice family keep their home. They were very happy and thanked her a lot. Lily felt proud and happy too. + +She called her friend Tom. Tom was also a lawyer, but he was very lazy. He did not work hard. He played games and watched TV all day. + +"Tom, I have good news!" Lily said. "I won a big case today. I want to celebrate. Do you want to come with me?" + +Tom yawned. "Celebrate? What for? It's just a job. I don't like to celebrate. I like to relax." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to have fun with her friend. She did not like his lazy attitude. + +"Tom, you are very lazy. You should work hard and celebrate your wins. It's good for you. Don't you want to be happy?" + +Tom shrugged. "I am happy. I don't need to work hard or celebrate. I have everything I need. You are too busy and stressed. You should relax more." + +Lily shook her head. She did not agree with Tom. She decided to celebrate without him. She called another friend, Anna. Anna was a teacher. She liked to work hard and celebrate too. + +"Anna, I have good news!" Lily said. "I won a big case today. I want to celebrate. Do you want to come with me?" + +Anna smiled. "Of course! I'm so proud of you, Lily. You are a great lawyer. Let's celebrate. What do you want to do?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to do something fun and special. She had an idea. + +"Let's go to the park and have a picnic. We can bring some cake and balloons and play games. How does that sound?" + +Anna clapped her hands. "That sounds wonderful. I love cake and balloons and games. Let's go!" + +Lily and Anna went to the park and had a picnic. They ate cake and blew up balloons and played games. They laughed and talked and had a lot of fun. They celebrated Lily's big win. They were very happy. They were good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They saw a tall fence with wire on top. They wondered what was behind the fence. + +"Let's go see!" Tom said. + +"No, we can't. It's not safe. The wire can hurt us." Lily said. + +"But I want to know. Maybe there are animals or toys or something fun." Tom said. + +He ran to the fence and tried to climb it. But the wire was sharp and it cut his hand. He cried out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to him and saw the blood on his hand. She was scared and sorry. + +"Tom, I told you not to go. Come on, let's go to mom. She can help you." Lily said. + +She took his hand and they ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw Tom's hand and hugged him. + +"Oh, Tom, what happened? You hurt yourself." Mom said. + +"I climbed the fence and the wire cut me. It hurts a lot." Tom said. + +Mom took out a band-aid and put it on his hand. She kissed it and said. + +"There, there. It will be better soon. Next time, listen to Lily. She is a good sister. And don't climb fences with wire. They are dangerous." Mom said. + +Tom nodded and said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I won't do it again." Tom said. + +Lily smiled and said. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are a good brother. But now you need to rest. Let's sit here with mom and have some juice." Lily said. + +They sat on the bench and drank some juice. They felt better and happy. They learned a lesson and they loved each other. They rested and enjoyed the park. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fat cat. The cat is black and white. It has a big nose. + +"Look, a fat cat!" Tom says. "Let's run after it!" + +"No, Tom, don't!" Sam says. "The cat may be scared. It may scratch you." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs after the fat cat. The cat sees Tom and runs away. Tom chases the cat. He wants to touch it. + +The cat runs into a bush. Tom follows the cat. He puts his hand in the bush. But he does not feel the cat. He feels something sharp. It is a thorn. The thorn pokes Tom's hand. Tom cries out. He pulls his hand out of the bush. His hand is red and hurts. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "My hand is hurt!" + +Sam runs to Tom. He sees Tom's hand. He feels sorry for Tom. + +"I told you not to run after the cat, Tom," Sam says. "The cat did not want to play with you. You should be kind to animals. They have feelings too." + +Tom nods. He is sorry too. He learns his lesson. He says sorry to the cat. He says thank you to Sam. Sam helps Tom to wash his hand. They go back to the park. They play with a ball. They are friends again. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to animals. They have feelings too. Listen to your friends. They may know better. +Ben was playing with his toy car in the garden. He liked to make it go fast and zoom around the grass. But he was not careful and he hit a big rock. His car broke and he hurt his hand. He cried and ran to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at my hand! It is red and it hurts!" he said. + +Mom looked at his hand and saw a small cut. She took him inside and washed his hand with water. Then she put a bandage on it. + +"There, there. It is not a big hurt. The bandage will make it better. You just need to keep it on and not touch it," she said. + +But Ben did not like the bandage. It was white and sticky and it made his hand feel funny. He wanted to take it off and play with his car again. He was restless and he did not listen to his mom. + +"Ben, stop that! You have to keep the bandage on. If you take it off, your hand will get worse and you will have to go to the doctor," she said. + +But Ben did not care. He pulled the bandage off and threw it away. He ran outside and looked for his car. He found it under the rock and tried to fix it. But his hand started to bleed again and it hurt more. He cried and ran to his mom again. + +"Mom, mom, look at my hand! It is red and it hurts more!" he said. + +Mom looked at his hand and saw a bigger cut. She was angry and worried. She took him inside and washed his hand again. Then she put a new bandage on it. + +"Ben, why did you do that? You were very naughty and you made your hand worse. Now you have to keep the bandage on and stay inside. No more playing with your car today," she said. + +Ben felt sorry and sad. He knew he was wrong and he hurt his mom. He hugged his mom and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I will keep the bandage on and be good," he said. + +Mom smiled and hugged him back. She said she loved him and she was glad he was sorry. She gave him a kiss and a cookie. She said he could play with his car tomorrow if his hand was better. Ben nodded and said he would wait. He was still restless, but he tried to be good. He ate his cookie and played with his teddy bear. He hoped his hand would heal soon. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide, but Lily is scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Ben says. "You can zip down fast and feel the wind." + +Lily shakes her head. "No, Ben, it is too high. I do not like high things. They make me feel dizzy." + +Ben tries to make Lily feel better. He gives her a hug and says, "You are strong, Lily. You can do it. I will go with you. We can hold hands and zip together." + +Lily looks at Ben. She sees that he is smiling and not afraid. She thinks maybe he is right. She nods and says, "Okay, Ben, I will try. But you have to stay with me." + +Ben and Lily climb up the stairs to the top of the slide. They sit on the edge and hold hands. Ben counts to three and then they push off. They zip down the slide, fast and smooth. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream with joy. + +They reach the bottom and jump off. They hug each other and say, "That was fun! Let's do it again!" + +They run back to the stairs and climb up again. They zip down the slide many times, until they are tired and happy. They have learned that they are strong and brave, and that they can have fun together. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand near the sea. They liked to make castles and dig holes. Sometimes they found shells and crabs. They were having fun. + +Suddenly, Lily saw something big and purple in the water. It had eight long arms and two big eyes. It was an octopus. Lily was curious and scared. She pointed at it and said to Ben, "Look, what is that?" + +Ben looked at the octopus and said, "I don't know. Maybe it is a monster. Let's go away." + +But Lily wanted to talk to the octopus. She said, "Hello, octopus. What are you doing here? Do you want to play with us?" + +The octopus heard Lily and was surprised. It was not used to talking to humans. It was shy and scared too. It did not want to play. It wanted to hide. It replied, "No, thank you. I am just looking for food. Please leave me alone." + +Lily and Ben heard the octopus and were amazed. They did not know that octopuses could talk. They felt sorry for the octopus. It looked lonely and uncomfortable. They said, "We are sorry, octopus. We did not mean to bother you. We are Lily and Ben. We are your friends. We have some fish and bread. Do you want to share with us?" + +The octopus heard Lily and Ben and was touched. They were kind and generous. They did not want to hurt him. They wanted to be his friends. He felt happy and comfortable. He replied, "Yes, please. That is very nice of you. I am Otto. I am your friend too. Thank you, Lily and Ben." +Lily liked to twist her hair when she was bored. She was bored a lot at home, because her mom and dad were always busy. Sometimes, she would twist her hair so much that it would make a knot. Then, her mom would have to untie it with a comb. + +One day, Lily saw a mug on the table. It was a big mug, with a picture of a funny animal on it. Lily wanted to see the animal better, so she picked up the mug. But the mug was heavy, and Lily was not strong. She dropped the mug on the floor, and it broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom, I'm sorry, I broke your mug!" + +Mom came running from the kitchen. She saw the broken mug and the sad Lily. She was not angry, but she was surprised. She said, "Lily, where did you get this mug? This is not my mug. This is an unusual mug. It belongs to your uncle Joe. He gave it to me yesterday, when he came to visit. He said it was a magic mug, that could make wishes come true." + +Lily looked at the mug with wonder. She said, "Really? A magic mug? What did you wish for, mom?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "I wished for a happy and healthy family. And I have it, thanks to you, Lily. You are my magic mug. You make me happy every day. Don't worry about the broken mug. We can glue it back together, or we can get a new one. The important thing is that you are safe and sorry. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged mom back. She said, "I love you too, mom. And I'm sorry for twisting my hair. I'll try to stop." + +Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. You can twist your hair if you want. It's part of who you are. And you are wonderful, just the way you are." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They are happy. + +But one day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is angry and loud. It runs after Tom and Sue. It wants to bite them. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue shout. They are scared. They try to escape. They jog to the gate. But the gate is locked. They cannot get out. + +The dog is faster than them. It catches up with them. It jumps on them. It bites them hard. + +Tom and Sue cry. They are hurt. They wish they had a dependable grown-up with them. But there is no one to help them. The dog does not stop. It is a bad ending. +Tommy liked bananas. He liked to peel them and eat them. He liked to make funny faces with the peels. He liked to say "banana" over and over. + +One day, Tommy saw a big bunch of bananas on the kitchen table. He wanted to have one. He climbed on a chair and reached for the bananas. He was very happy. He did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". + +He grabbed a banana and pulled it hard. But the bananas were not ripe. They were green and hard. The whole bunch came off the table and fell on the floor. Tommy fell with them. He hit his head on the chair. He cried. + +Mommy heard the noise and came running. She saw Tommy and the bananas on the floor. She was angry and worried. She picked up Tommy and hugged him. She checked his head for bumps. She said "Tommy, you were very careless. You should not touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourself or broken something. You have to wait for the bananas to turn yellow. Then they will be soft and sweet. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded. He was sorry. He said "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted a banana. I like bananas." He sniffed. + +Mommy smiled. She said "I know, Tommy. I like bananas too. But you have to be patient and careful. Here, I have a ripe banana for you. You can open it and eat it. But first, help me clean up this mess." + +Tommy said "OK, Mommy. Thank you for the banana. I will help you." He wiped his tears and smiled. He opened the banana and took a bite. It was soft and sweet. He liked it. He said "Banana". +Lila and Ben were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. The sun was very bright and hot. It made their skin feel harsh. + +"Look, Lila, a big green thing!" Ben said, pointing to the other side of the river. "What is it?" + +Lila squinted her eyes and saw a long, scaly body and a big mouth with many teeth. She knew what it was. It was a crocodile. + +"That is a crocodile, Ben. It is not nice. It can bite us. We have to be careful," she said. + +The crocodile was lying on the rocks, enjoying the sun. It did not see the children. It was very still. Its skin was shiny and wet. + +"Can we go closer, Lila? I want to see it better," Ben said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, Ben, we cannot. It is dangerous. We have to stay here. Mama told us not to go near the river," Lila said. She was smart and careful. + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to see the crocodile. He picked up a big stone and threw it at the crocodile. The stone hit the crocodile's tail. The crocodile was angry. It opened its mouth and roared. It jumped into the water and swam towards the children. + +Lila and Ben were scared. They ran away from the river. They heard the crocodile splash behind them. They did not stop until they reached their house. They told Mama what happened. Mama hugged them and said: + +"You are very lucky, Lila and Ben. You should never throw stones at a crocodile. It can hurt you. You should never go near the river without me. It is not safe. You have to listen to me. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They were sorry. They learned their lesson. They did not play near the river again. They played in the garden, where it was safe and fun. +Ben and Mia were friends who liked to play with hoops. They had big hoops and small hoops, red hoops and blue hoops. They could roll them, spin them, jump through them, and make shapes with them. + +One day, they decided to play a game of march and hoop. They would march around the yard with their hoops, and when they heard a whistle, they would stop and put their hoops on the ground. Then they would run to another hoop and pick it up. The one who had the most hoops at the end would win. + +They asked Mia's big sister, Lily, to blow the whistle for them. Lily agreed, but she was not very nice. She wanted to make the game hard for Ben and Mia. She blew the whistle very fast, so they had no time to march. She blew the whistle very slow, so they had to march for a long time. She blew the whistle very loud, so they got scared. She blew the whistle very soft, so they could not hear it. + +Ben and Mia tried to play the game, but they did not have fun. They got tired, confused, and angry. They dropped their hoops, tripped over them, and bumped into each other. They started to cry and shout. + +"Stop it, Lily! You are mean!" Ben said. + +"Yeah, stop it! You are not fair!" Mia said. + +Lily laughed and said, "Too bad! This is my game, and I make the rules. You have to do what I say, or you lose. And you know what? You both lose! I have all the hoops, and you have none. I win, and you lose!" + +She grabbed all the hoops and ran away, leaving Ben and Mia alone in the yard. They felt sad and hurt. They did not want to play with hoops anymore. They did not want to play with Lily anymore. They wished they had a better friend. +Ben and Mia love to play pretend. They have many costumes in their big box. They can be pirates, fairies, animals, or anything they want. They like to make up stories and act them out. + +One day, they decide to be superheroes. Ben puts on a red cape and a mask. He says he is Super Ben, and he can fly and lift heavy things. Mia puts on a purple dress and a crown. She says she is Princess Mia, and she can make magic and talk to animals. + +They run around the yard, pretending to save the world from bad guys. They have a lot of fun. But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. He is barking at a squirrel on the fence. He wants to chase it, but he can't reach it. + +Ben and Mia are alert. They see Spot is in trouble. They want to help him. They join their hands and shout, "Super Ben and Princess Mia to the rescue!" They run to Spot and scare the squirrel away. Spot is happy. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +Ben and Mia hug Spot. They say, "You are our best friend. You can join our superhero team. You are Super Spot, and you can bark and run fast." They put a blue bandana on Spot's neck. He looks like a superhero too. + +They go back to playing pretend. They have a new adventure. They are Super Ben, Princess Mia, and Super Spot, the superhero team. They are brave, strong, and kind. They have the best costumes and the best fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to play dress-up. They have many clothes and hats and masks in a big box. + +"Look, Mia, I have a pirate hat!" Tom says. He puts the hat on his head. He has a big smile on his face. + +"Wow, Tom, you look like a pirate!" Mia says. She finds a princess dress and a crown. She puts them on. She has a pretty face. + +"Are you ready, Mia?" Tom asks. He has a sword in his hand. He pretends to be a pirate. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Mia says. She has a wand in her hand. She pretends to be a princess. + +They play dress-up. They have fun. They make stories. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. They have a big box of blocks, cars, dolls and animals. They like to make different things with their blocks, like houses, bridges and towers. + +"Let's make a space station!" Ben says. He likes to pretend he is an astronaut and explore the stars. He takes some blue and white blocks and makes a circle. "This is the planet Earth," he says. + +"I want to make a rocket!" Anna says. She likes to pretend she is a pilot and fly fast. She takes some red and yellow blocks and makes a cone. "This is the rocket that goes to the space station," she says. + +They put their rocket and their planet on the floor and look for more blocks. They find some green and black blocks and make another circle. "This is the planet Mars," Ben says. "It is very far from Earth." + +They put their planet Mars on the floor and look for more blocks. They find some purple and pink blocks and make a star. "This is the planet Sparkle," Anna says. "It is very pretty and shiny." + +They put their planet Sparkle on the floor and look for more blocks. They have no more blocks left. "Oh no, we need more blocks to make the space station," Ben says. He looks sad. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She is very flexible and can bend her body in different ways. She lies down on the floor and makes a circle with her arms and legs. "Look, I can be the space station," she says. She smiles. + +Ben looks at her and laughs. He thinks she is very clever and funny. He likes her idea. He takes his rocket and flies it to her circle. "Hello, space station," he says. "Can I land here?" + +"Of course, rocket," Anna says. "You are welcome here. We have many planets to visit." + +They play together and have fun. They include their toys and their bodies in their game. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who shared a room. They liked to play with their toys and books before bedtime, but sometimes they stayed up too late. One night, their mom came to check on them and saw that they were still awake. + +"Come on, my loves, it's time to sleep," she said. "You have a big day tomorrow. We are going to the zoo to see the rare animals." + +"But mom, we are not sleepy," Lily said. "We want to see the stars and the moon. They are so pretty and shiny." + +"You can see them through the curtain, but you need to close your eyes and rest," mom said. "The stars and the moon will still be there tomorrow night. And maybe you will see some rare animals that sleep during the day and wake up at night, like owls and bats." + +"Really?" Ben asked. "That sounds cool. Can we feed them?" + +"Maybe, if the zookeepers let us," mom said. "But first, you need to sleep. I will tuck you in and give you a kiss. Good night, my loves." + +She tucked them in and kissed them on their foreheads. Then she turned off the light and closed the door. Lily and Ben looked at the curtain and saw the stars and the moon twinkling. They smiled and whispered to each other. + +"Good night, Lily." + +"Good night, Ben." + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of the rare animals they would see the next day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom and Dad with the house. Today, they want to help with the dishes. They see a large dishwasher in the kitchen. It has many buttons and lights. + +"Can we put the dishes in the dishwasher?" Anna asks Mom. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. The dishwasher is hot and wet inside. You need to wear these gloves." Mom gives them each a pair of rubber gloves. + +Anna and Ben put on the gloves. They take the dirty dishes from the sink and put them in the dishwasher. They try to fit as many as they can. They make a game of it. + +"I have more dishes than you!" Ben says. + +"No, you don't! I have more!" Anna says. + +They laugh and giggle. They finish putting all the dishes in the dishwasher. They close the door. + +"Can we turn it on?" Ben asks Mom. + +"Yes, you can, but only press this button. This is the start button. It makes the dishwasher wash the dishes." Mom shows them the button. + +Anna and Ben press the button together. They hear a beep and a whoosh. The dishwasher starts to wash the dishes. + +"Wow, the dishwasher is amazing!" Anna says. + +"It is! It makes the dishes clean and shiny!" Ben says. + +They watch the dishwasher for a while. They see the lights change and hear the water splash. They are happy and proud. They helped Mom and Dad with the house. They are good helpers. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. They always had fun and learned new stuff. + +One day, they went to a big city that was unknown to them. They saw tall buildings, busy streets, and many people. They wanted to explore everything, but their mom and dad told them to stay close and hold their hands. + +Ben and Lily listened, but they also wanted to be brave and curious. They saw a big park with a pond and ducks. They asked their mom and dad if they could go and feed the ducks. Their mom and dad said yes, but only if they took some napkins with them. They said the napkins were for wiping their hands and mouths after eating the bread for the ducks. + +Ben and Lily agreed and took some napkins from their backpack. They ran to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked happily. Ben and Lily smiled and laughed. They forgot about their mom and dad and the napkins. + +Soon, they ran out of bread and wanted to go back to their mom and dad. But they did not know where they were. They looked around and saw many people, but not their mom and dad. They felt scared and lost. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad and stayed close to them. + +They saw a nice lady who was wearing a blue dress and a hat. She saw them and asked them if they were okay. She said she was a park ranger and she could help them find their mom and dad. Ben and Lily told her their names and what their mom and dad looked like. They also showed her the napkins they had taken with them. The lady smiled and said the napkins were a good clue. She said she had seen their mom and dad near a big fountain with a napkin sign. She said she would take them there. + +Ben and Lily thanked the lady and followed her. They held her hand and walked to the fountain. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They were very happy and relieved to see them. They hugged them and said they were sorry for running away. Their mom and dad said they were glad they were safe and sound. They said they were proud of them for being brave and curious, but they also reminded them to be careful and listen to them when they travel to unknown places. They said the napkins were a smart idea and they helped them find them. They said they loved them very much. + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that traveling is fun and exciting, but also risky and scary. They learned that they should always stay close to their mom and dad and follow their rules. They learned that napkins can be useful and helpful. They learned that they should always be grateful and respectful to the people who help them. They learned that they should always love their mom and dad and each other. +Ben was a stubborn boy. He did not like to listen to his mom and dad. He always wanted to do what he wanted to do. One day, he went to the park with his mom and dad. They told him to stay close to them and not to wander away. + +But Ben did not listen. He saw a big van with many colors and pictures on it. He wanted to see it better. He wandered away from his mom and dad. He did not look where he was going. He crossed the road without looking. A car was coming fast. It honked loudly. + +Ben was scared. He ran back to the park. He looked for his mom and dad. But he could not find them. He was lost. He started to cry. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. + +A nice lady saw him crying. She asked him what was wrong. She helped him find his mom and dad. They were very worried. They hugged him and scolded him. They told him to never wander away again. Ben said he was sorry. He learned his lesson. He was not stubborn anymore. He listened to his mom and dad. He was happy and safe. +Lily and Max were twins. They liked to do many things together. One day, they went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. + +Mom said, "You can play for a little while, but then we have to go home. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily and Max nodded. They ran to the slide first. They took turns going down. They laughed and shouted. They had fun. + +Then they went to the swing. They pushed each other higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair. They had fun. + +Then they went to the sandbox. They made castles and tunnels and bridges. They used their shovels and buckets. They had fun. + +Mom said, "It's time to go home now. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Max did not want to go. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, no, no!" + +Mom said, "Please, don't be upset. I have a surprise for you. You will like it." + +Lily and Max were curious. They wondered what the surprise was. They followed Mom to the car. They buckled their seat belts. + +Mom drove them home. She said, "We are here. Let's go inside." + +Lily and Max ran to the door. They opened it. They smelled something yummy. They saw a big plate of muffins on the table. + +Mom said, "Surprise! I made muffins for you. You can have one each. They are still warm and soft." + +Lily and Max smiled. They loved muffins. They said, "Thank you, Mom!" + +They picked their favorite muffins. They took big bites. They said, "Mmm, mmm, mmm!" + +They forgot about the park. They were happy. They had fun. + +They spent the afternoon eating muffins and talking to Mom. They hugged her and said, "You are the best, Mom!" + +Mom hugged them back and said, "You are the best, too. I love you, Lily and Max!" +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bush with red berries. They wanted to pick some and eat them. + +"Look, Tom, berries!" Lily said. "They are so red and shiny. Can we have some?" + +"I don't know, Lily," Tom said. "Maybe they are not good for us. Maybe they are sour or bitter. Maybe they make us sick." + +Lily was not afraid. She reached out her hand and touched a berry. It was soft and smooth. She pulled it off the bush and smelled it. It smelled sweet and fresh. She took a small bite. It tasted juicy and yummy. + +"Mmm, Tom, they are good!" Lily said. "They are not sour or bitter. They are sweet and yummy. Try one!" + +Tom was still unsure. He looked at Lily. She smiled and held out a berry for him. He took it and bit it. He was surprised. It was good, just like Lily said. He smiled too. + +"Wow, Lily, you are right!" Tom said. "They are good. They make me happy. Thank you for sharing!" + +They ate some more berries. They felt full and happy. They saw a bird on a branch. It was singing a pretty song. They listened and sang along. They saw a butterfly on a flower. It was flying and dancing. They watched and clapped. They saw a squirrel on a tree. It was running and jumping. They followed and laughed. + +They had a lot of fun. They saw many things. They learned many things. They changed their minds. They were not afraid of new things. They were brave and curious. They were gentle and kind. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben like to go to the park with their mom. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, swings, slides, and pigeons. Pigeons are birds that have gray and white feathers and make cooing sounds. Anna and Ben like to feed the pigeons with bread crumbs. + +One day, they see a pigeon that is different from the others. It has pale feathers, almost white, and it does not fly or eat. It just sits on a bench, looking sad. Anna and Ben wonder why the pigeon is so pale and quiet. + +"Mom, look at that pigeon!" Anna says, pointing at the bench. "Why is it so pale? Is it sick?" + +Mom looks at the pigeon and shakes her head. "No, it is not sick. It is just a different kind of pigeon. It is called an albino pigeon. It has no color in its feathers or eyes. It is very rare and special." + +"Can we feed it?" Ben asks, holding a piece of bread. + +Mom nods. "Yes, you can. But be gentle and slow. It might be scared of people." + +Anna and Ben walk slowly to the bench, holding out their bread crumbs. The pale pigeon looks at them with red eyes. It does not move or coo. Anna and Ben stop a few steps away from the bench. They toss some bread crumbs on the ground, hoping the pigeon will come and eat. + +But the pigeon does not come. It remains on the bench, watching them. Anna and Ben feel sad. They want to make the pigeon happy. + +"Hello, pigeon," Anna says softly. "We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends. We have some bread for you. Do you want some?" + +The pigeon does not answer. It just blinks its red eyes. + +"Please, pigeon," Ben says. "Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you. We just want to play with you." + +The pigeon does not move. It just remains on the bench, silent and pale. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Give me your doll, Lily. I want to play with it," Ben said. + +"No, Ben. It is my doll. You have your car. Play with your car," Lily said. + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He grabbed her doll and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She ran after Ben and tried to get her doll back. They both pulled the doll and it broke. The doll's head came off and its dress tore. + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the broken doll. They both felt guilty. They knew they did a bad thing. Lily started to weep. She loved her doll and now it was ruined. + +"Mama, mama, come here!" Lily cried. + +Mama heard Lily's cry and came to the living room. She saw the broken doll and the guilty faces of Lily and Ben. + +"What happened here?" Mama asked. + +Lily and Ben did not know what to say. They were afraid of Mama. They did not want to tell the truth. They did not want to get in trouble. + +But Mama was not angry. She was calm and kind. She hugged Lily and Ben and said, "It is okay, my loves. I know you are sorry. You made a mistake, but you can fix it. You can tell me the truth and say sorry to each other. Then we can try to fix the doll together. Will you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They told Mama the truth. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and kissed. Mama smiled and said, "I am proud of you. You are brave and honest. You learned a lesson today. Sharing is caring. Playing nice is better than fighting. And telling the truth is always the best." + +Lily and Ben felt better. They thanked Mama and helped her fix the doll. They played with their toys again, but this time they shared and played nice. They did not weep anymore. They were happy. +Tim and Sue were twins who lived on a big ranch with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the plants, but sometimes they wanted to have fun and explore. One day, they saw a hill that they had never climbed before. It looked high and green and had many trees and rocks. + +"Let's go see what's on the other side of the hill," Tim said to Sue. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. We don't know what's there. Maybe there are bears or snakes or bad people," Sue said. + +They took some water and snacks and started to walk up the hill. They saw many birds and flowers and bugs, and they heard many sounds. They felt happy and curious. They managed to reach the top of the hill after a long time. They looked down and saw a big lake that sparkled in the sun. They also saw a small house and a boat and some people. + +"Wow, look at that! It's so pretty!" Tim said. + +"Who are those people? Do they live there? Can we go say hi?" Sue asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are nice, maybe they are not. Maybe they are friends of mom and dad, maybe they are strangers. We should be careful," Tim said. + +They decided to go down the hill a little bit and hide behind a big rock. They watched the people for a while. They saw them fishing and swimming and laughing. They looked happy and friendly. Tim and Sue wanted to join them, but they were also scared. + +"Maybe we should go back to the ranch. Mom and dad might be worried. We can tell them about the lake and the people and maybe they can take us there another day," Sue said. + +"OK, let's go. But we have to remember this place. It's our secret discovery. Maybe we can come back here and play with the people and the boat," Tim said. + +They turned around and started to walk back to the ranch. They felt proud and excited. They had seen something unknown and beautiful. They had managed to have a big adventure. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big cup in the kitchen. It was red and shiny. They both wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have the cup?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. + +They pulled the cup from each other. They did not share. They were angry and sad. + +Mama heard them. She came to the kitchen. She saw the cup and the friends. She was alert. She knew the cup was not a toy. It was hot and full of tea. She was scared. + +"Stop!" Mama shouted. "The cup is not for playing. It is dangerous. You can get hurt." + +She took the cup from them. She put it on the table. She gave them each a hug. + +"I am sorry, Mama," Lily said. + +"Me too, Mama," Ben said. + +Mama smiled. She said, "It is okay. I know you like the cup. But it is not safe. You can play with other things. And you can share. Sharing is good. It makes you happy and kind." + +She gave them each a small cup. They were blue and plastic. They were not hot or full of tea. They were for playing. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Thank you, Mama." + +They played with the cups. They shared. They were happy and kind. They were friends. +Lily liked to cook with her mom. She helped to stir the soup, cut the bread and sprinkle the cheese. She felt happy and proud when they ate the yummy food together. + +One day, Lily saw a big cake on the table. It looked so good, with pink frosting and colorful sprinkles. She wanted to taste it, but her mom said no. She said it was for a special guest, and Lily had to wait. + +Lily was sad and angry. She thought it was not fair. She decided to sneak a bite when her mom was not looking. She waited until her mom went to the bathroom, and then she ran to the table. She reached for the cake, but she did not see the trap. + +The trap was a big metal ring that snapped around her hand. It hurt a lot, and Lily screamed. Her mom heard her and came back. She saw what happened and was very mad. She said Lily was naughty and greedy, and she had to go to her room. She said she would not get any cake or soup or bread or cheese. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been graceful and patient. She learned a hard lesson that day. The cake was not worth the trap. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide on the big slide. But today, there is a problem. There is a net on the slide. A big boy put it there. He thinks it is funny. + +"Hey, you can't slide here!" the big boy says. "This is my slide now. I made a trap with the net. If you slide, you will get stuck in the net. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They do not want to get stuck in the net. They want to slide. They look at the net. It is not a real net. It is a fake net. It is made of paper. The big boy did not make a good trap. He made a bad trap. + +Tom has an idea. He whispers to Mia. Mia nods. They pretend to be scared. They say to the big boy, "Please, let us slide. We will give you our candy. We have a lot of candy. Please, please, please." + +The big boy smiles. He likes candy. He says, "OK, fine. You can slide. But give me your candy first." + +Tom and Mia give him their candy. But it is not real candy. It is fake candy. It is made of soap. The big boy does not know. He takes the candy and runs away. + +Tom and Mia laugh. They slide on the slide. They have fun. They tricked the big boy. They are smart. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They were having fun, but they were also very cold. + +"Let's go inside and warm up," Lily said to Max. "Mommy made us hot cocoa." + +"Okay," Max said. "I like cocoa. It is sweet and yummy." + +They ran to the house and took off their boots and coats. Mommy was waiting for them in the kitchen. She had two mugs of cocoa on the table. + +"Here you go, my little snowflakes," Mommy said. "Seat down and enjoy your cocoa. Be careful, it is hot." + +"Thank you, Mommy," Lily and Max said. They seated down and blew on their cocoa. They sipped it slowly and felt the warmth in their mouths and bellies. + +They looked out the window and saw the snowman. He was smiling at them. The sky was dark and the stars were shining. + +"It is a beautiful night," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is," Max said. "But I like it better inside with you and Mommy and cocoa." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big barrel near the slide. The barrel is blue and has a lid. + +"What is in the barrel?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sue says. + +They run to the barrel and lift the lid. Inside, they see many apples. The apples are red and green and yellow. They smell good. + +"Wow, look at all the apples!" Tom says. + +"Can we eat some?" Sue asks. + +"I think so. They are for everyone," Tom says. + +They take some apples and sit on the grass. They bite the apples and smile. The apples are sweet and juicy and warm. + +"These are the best apples ever!" Sue says. + +"I agree. They are yummy!" Tom says. + +They eat and eat until they are full.

I'm proud of you." + +Tom and Sam felt happy again. They hugged the farmer. They said, "Thank you, farmer. You are kind. You are a good friend." The farmer smiled. He said, "Come on, let's go to the barn. We still have some hay left. We can pass it to the cows and the sheep. They will be happy too." They got on the tractor again. They drove to the barn. They passed the hay to the animals. They heard them moo and baa. They felt the sun on their faces. They were happy. They were friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks, and books. But they did not like to organize their toys. They left them all over the floor, and sometimes they lost them or broke them. + +One day, their mom said, "Ben and Lily, you need to organize your toys. Put them in the boxes and on the shelves. Then you can find them easily and play with them again. If you do not organize your toys, I will give them away to other kids who need them." + +Ben and Lily did not listen to their mom. They said, "We do not want to organize our toys. We want to play with them. Organizing is boring and hard. We will do it later." And they ran away to the backyard. + +In the backyard, they saw a new kid. His name was Sam. He had a big smile and a playful voice. He said, "Hi, I am Sam. I just moved here. Can I play with you?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Sure, you can play with us. We have many toys. Come and see." And they took Sam to their room. + +But when they got to their room, they were ashamed. Their room was messy and dirty. Their toys were scattered and broken. They could not find anything they wanted to play with. Sam looked around and said, "Wow, you have many toys. But why are they so messy? Don't you organize them?" + +Ben and Lily said, "No, we do not organize them. We think organizing is boring and hard. We like to play with them." + +Sam said, "But organizing is fun and easy. It is like a game. You can sort your toys by color, shape, size, or type. You can make labels and stickers for your boxes and shelves. You can make your room look nice and neat. And then you can play with your toys better. You can find them faster and make more stories with them. Organizing is not boring and hard. It is playful and smart." + +Ben and Lily thought about what Sam said. They realized he was right. Organizing was not boring and hard. It was playful and smart. They said, "Sam, you are a hero. You taught us something new. Can you help us organize our toys?" + +Sam said, "Of course, I can help you. Let's do it together. It will be fun." And they started to organize their toys. + +Their mom came to their room and saw what they were doing. She was happy and proud. She said, "Ben and Lily, you are doing a great job. You are organizing your toys. I am glad you learned to do that. And I am glad you made a new friend. Sam, you are welcome to play with them anytime." + +Ben, Lily, and Sam smiled and hugged. They said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Sam. We learned to organize our toys. And we learned to make a new friend. Organizing is playful and smart. And friendship is the best toy of all." +Lily was a kid who liked to listen to stories. She had many books with pictures and words that her mom or dad read to her every night. She also liked to listen to the birds, the wind, and the rain when she was outside. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw some other kids playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. She wanted to join them and make new friends. She walked over to them and said hello. + +But the other kids did not say hello back. They looked at her and laughed. They said she was stupid because she had glasses and a hat. They said she was stupid because she liked to listen to stories. They said she was stupid because she was not like them. + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why they were so mean. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. She told her what the other kids said. + +Her mom hugged her back and wiped her tears. She told her that she was not stupid at all. She told her that she was smart and kind and curious. She told her that she was proud of her for liking to listen to stories. She told her that the other kids were wrong and rude. + +She said, "Lily, you are a wonderful kid. Don't listen to them. Listen to me. Listen to your heart. Listen to your dreams. You can be anything you want to be." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a restaurant and serve each other food. Lily had a toy kitchen and Ben had a toy cash register. + +"Hello, welcome to Lily's Cafe!" Lily said. "What would you like to eat?" + +"I would like a hot dog and a juice, please," Ben said. + +"Okay, coming right up!" Lily said. She put a plastic hot dog on a plate and poured some water in a cup. She brought them to Ben and said, "Here you go! That will be five dollars, please." + +Ben took out some paper money from his cash register and gave it to Lily. He also gave her a tip. "Here you are, Lily. Thank you for the good food. You are a very good cook." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I value your tip," Lily said. She smiled and put the money and the tip in her apron. + +They continued to play like this for a while, until they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who was baking a cake for their dad's birthday. She had dropped the cake on the floor and it was a mess. + +"Oh no! What have I done?" their mom said. "The cake is ruined and the oven is hot. I need to clean this up quickly." + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen to see what happened. They saw the cake on the floor and the oven on. They felt sorry for their mom. + +"Mom, are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay, but the cake is not. I was trying to take it out of the oven, but it was too hot and I burned my hand. Then I dropped the cake and it broke," their mom said. + +"Can we help you, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Thank you, sweeties, but you can't. The oven and the cake are very hot. You might get hurt. You need to stay away from them. Go back to the living room and play with your toys. I'll make another cake later," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and went back to the living room. They felt sad for their mom and their dad. They wanted to make them happy. They had an idea. + +"Ben, I have an idea. Why don't we give our mom and dad our toys as a gift? They will like them and they will forget about the cake," Lily said. + +"That's a good idea, Lily. Let's do that. We can wrap them in paper and put them on the table," Ben said. + +They took their toys and wrapped them in paper. They put them on the table and wrote a card. They said, "We love you, mom and dad. We hope you like our gift. From Lily and Ben." + +They were very proud of their gift. They waited for their mom and dad to see it. They thought they would be very happy. + +But they were not. When their mom and dad saw the gift, they were very angry. They did not like their toys. They thought they were silly and childish. They did not value their tip. They yelled at them and said, "What have you done? You gave us your toys? We don't want your toys. We want a cake. A real cake. Not a plastic hot dog and a cup of water. How could you be so stupid and selfish? You ruined our birthday. Go to your room and don't come out until we say so." + +Lily and Ben were very shocked and hurt. They did not understand why their mom and dad were so mean. They thought they were doing something nice. They cried and ran to their room. They felt very bad. They wished they had never given their toys. They wished they had never played with them. They wished they had never been born. They had a very bad ending. +Tom and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore the woods behind their house. One day, they saw a big hole under a tree and decided to look inside. They crawled into the hole and found a dark tunnel that went deeper and deeper. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or a secret cave!" + +"Or maybe we can find some wild animals!" Lily said. "I hope we see a fox or a rabbit or a hedgehog!" + +They kept crawling until they heard a loud roar. They stopped and looked at each other with fear. The roar came from the other end of the tunnel, where they saw two bright eyes and a big mouth with sharp teeth. + +"It's a bear!" Tom shouted. "Run, Lily, run!" + +They turned around and ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. It chased them through the tunnel, growling and snarling. Tom and Lily screamed for help, but no one heard them. + +They reached the hole under the tree and scrambled out. They ran to their house and slammed the door behind them. They hugged each other and cried. + +"Mom, Dad, we saw a wild bear in the woods!" Tom said. + +"A wild bear?" Mom and Dad said. "Are you sure? That's very dangerous!" + +"Yes, we're sure!" Lily said. "It was big and scary and it tried to eat us!" + +Mom and Dad hugged them and told them they were brave and lucky. They also told them to never go into the hole under the tree again, or any other hole in the woods. They said there were many wild animals that could hurt them, and they should always stay close to home. + +Tom and Lily nodded and promised to listen. They learned their lesson and never went on such an adventurous trip again. They still liked to explore, but only in safe places. They also told their friends about the wild bear, and everyone was amazed by their story. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big gate. The gate is open. They want to see what is behind the gate. + +"Let's go in!" Sara says. "Maybe there is something fun!" + +"OK!" Tom says. "But we have to be fast. Mom and Dad will look for us soon." + +They enter the gate. They see a garden. The garden is very pretty. There are many flowers and trees. There are also birds and butterflies. Sara and Tom are happy. They run and laugh in the garden. + +"Look, Tom!" Sara says. "There is a pond! Maybe there are fish!" + +They go to the pond. They see fish. The fish are colorful. They swim fast. Sara and Tom try to catch them. But the fish are too fast. They splash water on Sara and Tom. Sara and Tom are wet. They giggle. + +"Hey, you two!" a voice says. "What are you doing here?" + +Sara and Tom turn around. They see a man. The man is old. He has a hat and a rake. He is the owner of the garden. + +"Sorry, sir!" Sara says. "We just wanted to see your garden. It is very pretty." + +"Yes, it is," the man says. "But you can't enter without asking. This is my garden. You have to go back to your parents." + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They did not know. They say sorry again. They say goodbye to the man. They say goodbye to the fish. They leave the garden. They go back to their parents. They tell them what they saw. They promise not to enter other gardens without asking. They hug their parents. They are still happy. They learned something new. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with toys. One day, they got a big box from their aunt. They were very happy. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They opened the box and saw many things. There were books, clothes, games, and a toy weapon. It looked like a gun, but it was not real. It was red and yellow and made of plastic. It had a button that made a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He picked up the toy weapon and pointed it at Sam. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Sam did not like that. He felt scared and angry. He said, "Stop it, Tom! That is not nice! That is not a normal toy! That is a bad toy! It can hurt people!" + +Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, it is fun! It is just a game! You are silly!" He pressed the button again and again. The toy weapon made a loud noise. "Bang, bang, bang!" + +Sam ran away and cried. He went to their mom and told her what happened. Mom was not happy. She went to Tom and took the toy weapon from him. She said, "Tom, this is not a good toy. This is a toy that teaches you to be mean and violent. You should not play with it. You should play with toys that are normal and nice. Toys that make you happy and kind." + +Tom felt sorry. He saw that Sam was sad and hurt. He said, "I am sorry, Sam. I did not mean to scare you or make you cry. I did not know that the toy weapon was bad. I thought it was fun. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam nodded and hugged Tom. He said, "I forgive you, Tom. I love you, brother. Can we play with the other toys together?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, Sam. I love you, too. Let's unpack the other toys and share them. They look much more fun and normal than the toy weapon." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's right, boys. That's how you should play. With love and kindness. Not with fear and anger. The toy weapon is going to the trash. The other toys are yours to enjoy." + +The end. + +Moral value: Playing with violent toys can make you mean and hurt others. Playing with normal toys can make you happy and kind. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand with their shovels and buckets. They made hills and holes and castles. + +"Look, Sara, I found a peanut!" Ben said, holding up a small brown thing. + +"A peanut? Where did it come from?" Sara asked, curious. + +"Maybe it fell from a tree. Or a bird dropped it. Or a squirrel hid it. Can I eat it?" Ben wondered. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe you should ask Mommy first. Some people get sick from peanuts. They become red and itchy and can't breathe well." Sara warned. + +"Okay, I will ask Mommy. But first, let's bury it in the sand. Maybe it will grow into a peanut plant." Ben suggested. + +"Okay, let's do that. But we have to dig a deep hole. Peanuts like to grow under the ground." Sara agreed. + +They dug a deep hole with their shovels and put the peanut inside. Then they covered it with sand and patted it down. + +"There, we planted a peanut. Maybe next time we come to the park, we will see a green sprout." Ben said, smiling. + +"Maybe. But now we should go and find Mommy. She will be happy to see what we did." Sara said, taking Ben's hand. + +They ran to the bench where Mommy was sitting with a book. They told her about their peanut adventure. Mommy hugged them and praised them for being creative and careful. She also told them that they could not eat the peanut, because Ben was allergic to them. She explained what that meant and how to avoid them. Ben was a little sad, but he understood. He was glad he had Sara and Mommy to look after him. He hoped his peanut plant would grow and make other squirrels happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play soccer. They had a big dream: to play in the big stadium one day. The stadium was where the best soccer players played. It was very important and very loud. + +One day, their dad took them to the stadium to watch a game. They were so happy and excited. They saw the green grass, the bright lights, and the many people. They heard the cheers and the whistles. They smelled the popcorn and the hot dogs. + +"Look, dad, look!" Tom pointed at the field. "They are so fast and strong!" + +"Yes, they are, son. They practice a lot and work hard. Do you want to be like them?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, dad, yes!" Tom and Lily said together. + +Dad smiled and hugged them. "You can be anything you want, my loves. You just have to believe in yourselves and never give up. You have a lot of talent and passion. You are like flowers that will bloom one day." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They felt happy and proud. They wanted to bloom like flowers. They wanted to play in the big stadium. They wanted to make their dad happy. They clapped and cheered for the players. They had a big dream. +Tom and Mia liked to play pirate in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship, and a map that showed them where to find treasure. One day, they decided to search for a new treasure that was hidden under a big rock. + +"Look, Mia, the map says we have to go past the tree and the pond, and then dig under the rock," Tom said, holding the map. + +"Okay, Tom, let's go!" Mia said, grabbing a shovel. They put on their pirate hats and ran to the tree. + +They passed the pond, where they saw some ducks and frogs. They waved to them and said, "Ahoy, mateys!" The ducks and frogs quacked and croaked back. + +They reached the rock, and started to dig. They dug and dug, until they saw something shiny. They pulled it out, and saw that it was a small box. + +"Wow, we found the treasure!" Tom said, opening the box. Inside, there was a necklace with a shiny stone. + +"It's so pretty!" Mia said, touching the stone. But as soon as she touched it, the stone broke into pieces. It was very fragile. + +"Oh no, we broke the treasure!" Tom said, looking sad. + +"It's okay, Tom, it's just a game," Mia said, hugging him. "We can still play pirate with the box and the map. And maybe we can find another treasure that is not fragile." + +"Okay, Mia, you're right," Tom said, smiling. "Let's go back to our ship and look for another adventure." + +They put the box and the map in their ship, and sailed away. They had fun playing pirate, and did not mind that the treasure was fragile. They had each other, and that was the best treasure of all. +Tom and Lily liked to play pirate in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship, and a flag with a skull and bones. They wore hats and eye patches and pretended to sail the seas. + +One day, they saw a big pot in the kitchen. They decided to cook some soup for their pirate crew. They put water and carrots and potatoes and salt in the pot, and stirred it with a wooden spoon. They put the pot on the stove and turned it on. + +"Arr, this will be a tasty soup for us, matey!" Tom said to Lily. + +"Aye, aye, captain!" Lily said. "But we have to watch out for the enemy pirates. They might try to steal our soup!" + +They ran back to the garden and looked around. They saw a big dog with a collar and a leash. It was their neighbor's dog, Rex. Rex was very friendly, but he liked to chase things. + +"Look, captain, there is a strong pirate dog!" Lily said. "He is coming to our ship!" + +"Quick, matey, we have to defend our soup!" Tom said. He grabbed a stick and waved it at Rex. "Go away, pirate dog! This is our soup!" + +Rex barked and wagged his tail. He thought Tom and Lily were playing with him. He ran towards them and jumped on the box. The box tipped over and the flag fell down. + +"Oh no, our ship is sinking!" Tom and Lily cried. They ran back to the kitchen to save their soup. + +But when they got there, they saw their mom standing by the stove. She had turned off the stove and taken the pot off. She looked at Tom and Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, my little pirates," she said. "What are you cooking?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They told their mom about their pirate game and their soup. + +"That sounds like fun," their mom said. "But you know you should not cook without me. It can be dangerous. And you should not leave the stove on. It can start a fire." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. + +Their mom hugged them and said it was okay. She said they could have some of their soup for lunch, if they wanted. She said it smelled good. + +Tom and Lily said yes, please. They were hungry after their pirate adventure. They thanked their mom and helped her set the table. + +They ate their soup and shared it with Rex, who had followed them inside. They said he was a good pirate dog and gave him a pat. + +They were happy and full. They decided to play pirate again after lunch, but this time, they would not cook. They would just pretend. +Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw animals and houses and flowers. Lily had a big pink eraser that she used to fix her mistakes. Ben wanted to use it too, but Lily said no. + +"Please, Lily, can I have your eraser?" Ben asked. "I want to make my dog look better." + +"No, Ben, this is my eraser. You have your own eraser. It is blue and small," Lily said. + +"But your eraser is bigger and nicer. It can fit more crayon," Ben said. + +Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, you can't have it. It is mine and it is fragile. If you use it too hard, it will break." + +Ben was angry. He waited until Lily was not looking and grabbed her eraser. He tried to fit it in his hand, but it was too big. He pressed it hard on his paper, but it did not erase well. He pressed harder and harder, until he heard a snap. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. He looked at the eraser and saw that it was broken in two. He dropped it on the floor and ran away. + +Lily heard the noise and turned around. She saw her eraser on the floor, broken. She felt sad and angry. She picked up the pieces and ran after Ben. + +"Ben, you broke my eraser! You are a bad brother! You have to say sorry and give me a new eraser!" Lily shouted. + +Ben hid under the table and felt sorry. He wished he had not taken Lily's eraser. He wished he had listened to her. He wished he could fix his mistake. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She wanted to look like a princess. She found a pretty blouse in the closet. It was pink and had flowers on it. She put it on over her shirt and smiled. + +She went to show her mom. "Look, Mom, I'm a princess!" she said. + +Mom looked at Lily and smiled too. She was proud of her daughter. She said, "You are a princess, Lily. You are very beautiful and generous. You always share your toys and help your friends." + +Lily hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You are a princess too. You are very kind and loving. You always make me happy and teach me new things." + +Mom hugged her back. She said, "I love you, Lily. You are my treasure. Do you want to keep the blouse? It was a gift from Grandma. She would be happy to see you wear it." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom, I want to keep the blouse. It is very pretty and soft. I will take good care of it. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandma." + +Mom kissed her cheek. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. You deserve it. Now, let's go and have some tea. We can pretend we are in a castle." + +Lily clapped her hands. She said, "Yes, Mom, let's go. That sounds like fun." + +They went to the kitchen and had tea and cookies. They talked and laughed and played. They were happy. They were princesses. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big boy with a bike. The big boy has red pants. Tom likes red pants. He wants to have them. + +"Look, Ben, red pants!" Tom says. "I want them. They are nice." + +"But they are not yours, Tom," Ben says. "They are the big boy's pants. You cannot take them. That is bad. That is stealing." + +"I don't care," Tom says. "I am clever. I have a plan. You distract the big boy. I will take his pants. Then we run away." + +Ben does not like Tom's plan. He thinks it is wrong. But he is afraid of Tom. He does what Tom says. He goes to the big boy and asks him about his bike. The big boy is proud of his bike. He tells Ben all about it. + +While the big boy is talking, Tom sneaks behind him. He pulls down his pants. He grabs them and runs away. The big boy is angry. He shouts and chases Tom. Ben is scared. He follows Tom. + +Tom and Ben run fast. But the big boy is faster. He catches them. He takes back his pants. He puts them on. He is still angry. He hits Tom and Ben. He makes them cry. + +Tom and Ben are sorry. They know they did a bad thing. They say sorry to the big boy. They promise to never steal again. The big boy forgives them. He tells them to be good. He lets them go. + +Tom and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that stealing is bad. They learn that being clever is not enough. They learn that being good is better. They hug and go home. They are friends again. +Anna and Ben love to go to the zoo with their mom. They like to see the animals and learn their names. Mom always provides them with snacks and water when they get hungry or thirsty. + +One day, they went to the zoo and saw a new animal. It was very big and had a long neck and spots. Mom said it was a giraffe. Anna and Ben wanted to see it better, but it was too high for them. + +"Mom, can you lift us up?" Anna asked. + +"Sorry, sweetie, I can't. You are too heavy for me," Mom said. + +"Can we use a stool?" Ben suggested. + +"No, there are no stools here. And it's not safe to climb on them," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted to see the giraffe's face and eyes. They wondered what it ate and how it sounded. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was the zookeeper. He was holding a bucket of leaves. + +"Hello, kids. Do you want to feed the giraffe?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. + +The zookeeper smiled and gave them each a leaf. He told them to hold it high and wait for the giraffe to come. Anna and Ben did as he said. They stretched their arms high and hoped the giraffe would notice them. + +Soon, they felt a gentle touch on their hands. It was the giraffe's tongue. It licked the leaves and ate them. Anna and Ben giggled. They felt the giraffe's breath and fur. They looked into its brown eyes and saw it was friendly. + +"Wow, it's so cool!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Mr. Zookeeper!" Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like the giraffe. It's one of my favorite animals. It's very smart and gentle. Do you want to know more about it?" the zookeeper asked. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. + +Mom smiled and joined them. She was happy to see her kids having fun and learning new things. She thanked the zookeeper for providing them with a special experience. They all listened to him as he told them more about the giraffe and its habits. They had a great time at the zoo. +Tim had a bike with a red handle. He liked to ride his bike in the park with his dad. But he was not very good at it. He often fell down and hurt his knees. His dad said he had to improve his skills and be careful. + +One day, Tim saw a big hill in the park. He wanted to go down the hill very fast. He thought it would be fun and exciting. He did not listen to his dad, who told him to wait and practice more. He pushed his bike to the top of the hill and got ready to ride. + +But he did not know that it had rained the night before. The ground was not dry. It was wet and slippery. As soon as he started to go down the hill, he lost control of his bike. He could not hold the handle well. He screamed and tried to stop, but it was too late. He crashed into a tree and fell off his bike. + +He was very scared and hurt. He cried and called for his dad. His dad ran to him and hugged him. He checked his bike and saw that the handle was broken. He also saw that Tim had a big cut on his forehead and some bruises on his arms and legs. He said they had to go to the doctor and get some bandages. + +Tim felt very sorry and ashamed. He realized that he had been foolish and reckless. He wished he had listened to his dad and improved his skills before trying the hill. He learned his lesson and promised to be more careful and respectful. He hoped that his bike and his handle could be fixed soon. He also hoped that his dad would not be too angry with him. He said he loved his dad and thanked him for helping him. His dad said he loved him too and forgave him. He said they would get a new handle and practice together until Tim became a good rider. +Lila was a bossy kid. She liked to tell everyone what to do and how to play. She had many toys, but she did not like to share them. She always set the rules for her games and did not listen to others. + +One day, she invited her friend Ben to play at her house. She showed him her toys and said, "This is my doll. You can be the dad. This is my car. You can drive it. This is my puzzle. You can help me make it. But you have to do what I say. I am the boss." + +Ben did not like to play like that. He wanted to have fun and choose his own toys. He said, "No, Lila. You are not the boss. We are friends. We can take turns and share. We can make our own rules. That is more fun." + +Lila did not like what Ben said. She got angry and said, "No, Ben. You have to do what I say. Or you can go home. I don't want to play with you." + +Ben was sad and hurt. He did not want to fight with Lila. He liked her, but he did not like her bossy way. He said, "Okay, Lila. I will go home. But I hope you will be nicer next time. Bye." + +He picked up his coat and left. Lila was left alone with her toys. She felt lonely and sorry. She realized that she had been mean to Ben. She wished she had been more kind and fair. She decided to call him and say sorry. She hoped he would come back and play with her again. +Lila was a gifted girl. She could draw very well. She liked to draw animals and flowers and stars. She had many crayons and papers to draw with. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big cloud in the sky. It looked like a bunny. She wanted to draw the cloud. She took out her crayons and paper and started to draw. + +But then, a boy came and took her crayons. He said they were his. He ran away with them. Lila was sad and angry. She wanted her crayons back. She cried and shouted. + +Her mom and dad heard her. They came and hugged her. They told her to relax. They said they would find the boy and get her crayons back. They said she was a good girl and they loved her. + +Lila felt better. She relaxed. She looked at the cloud again. It still looked like a bunny. She smiled. She knew she could draw it later. She was a gifted girl. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of popcorn in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said they had to polish their shoes first, because they were very dirty. + +Sara and Tom did not like to polish their shoes. They thought it was boring and hard. They wanted to eat popcorn and watch TV. They had an idea. They decided to hide their shoes under the bed and pretend they polished them. + +They ran back to the kitchen and told their mom they were done. Their mom looked at their feet and saw they were still wearing their socks. She asked them to show her their shoes. Sara and Tom felt scared. They knew they were caught. + +They went to their room and got their shoes. They were still dirty and dusty. Their mom was not happy. She said they lied to her and they were naughty. She said they could not eat popcorn or watch TV. She said they had to polish their shoes and say sorry. + +Sara and Tom felt sad and sorry. They realized they made a mistake. They polished their shoes and apologized to their mom. Their mom forgave them and hugged them. She said they learned a lesson. She said they should always tell the truth and do their chores. She said lying is not fit for good friends. + +Sara and Tom agreed. They said they would not lie again. They said they would be good friends to each other and their mom. Their mom smiled and gave them some popcorn. They ate it and watched TV. They were happy and proud. They said popcorn tastes better when you polish your shoes. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big tree with many branches. They decided to climb the tree and have fun. + +"Look, I can go higher than you!" Anna said. She moved to a higher branch and smiled. + +"No, you can't! I can go higher too!" Ben said. He tried to follow Anna, but he slipped and fell. He landed on the grass and hurt his knee. He started to cry. + +Anna heard Ben cry and climbed down quickly. She ran to him and saw his knee. It was red and bleeding. She felt sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay?" Anna said. + +Ben looked at Anna and saw her worried face. He stopped crying and wiped his tears. He knew Anna was his friend and she didn't want to hurt him. + +"It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. It was an accident. You are still my friend." Ben said. + +Anna smiled and hugged Ben. She took out a band-aid from her backpack and put it on his knee. She kissed his cheek and said, "You are very brave, Ben. You are still my friend too." + +They hugged again and went back to the tree. They climbed it together and had more fun. They saw many birds and squirrels and flowers. They thought the tree was incredible. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They want to build a big tower that reaches the ceiling. They use all the blocks they have, but the tower is still too short. + +"Let's measure how tall it is," Ben says. He gets a ruler from the drawer and stands next to the tower. He puts the ruler on the floor and looks at the numbers. "It is only 50 centimeters," he says. "We need more blocks." + +"Where can we find more blocks?" Anna asks. She looks around the room and sees a box on the shelf. "Maybe there are some in there," she says. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the box. But the box is too heavy and she loses her balance. The box falls down and hits the tower. The tower collapses and the blocks scatter everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Ben cries. "Our tower is gone!" + +Anna feels sorry and gets down from the chair. She hugs Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break it. Can we build it again?" + +Ben is sad, but he forgives Anna. He says, "It's okay, Anna. We can try again. But first, we have to clean up the mess." + +They start to pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. But they notice something strange. The box is not full of blocks. It is full of candles. And one of the candles is lit. It has a small flame and it makes smoke. + +"Look, Anna!" Ben says. "There is fire in the box! And smoke!" + +Anna is scared and says, "We have to tell Mommy! Fire is dangerous!" + +They run to the kitchen and find Mommy. They tell her about the fire and the smoke. Mommy is surprised and worried. She follows them to the living room and sees the box. She quickly blows out the candle and throws it in the trash. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben, for telling me. You did the right thing. But you should never play with fire or candles. They can burn you or the house. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mommy. We understand. We are sorry." + +Mommy hugs them and says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, be careful with what you take from the shelf. And don't climb on chairs. You could fall and hurt yourself." + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, Mommy. We will be careful." + +Mommy smiles and says, "Now, how about we make some cookies? You can help me measure the flour and the sugar." + +Anna and Ben cheer up and say, "Yes, Mommy. We love cookies!" + +They go to the kitchen and help Mommy make some cookies. They measure the ingredients and mix them in a bowl. They roll the dough and cut out shapes. They put them in the oven and wait for them to bake. They smell the cookies and see them turn golden. They take them out and let them cool. They eat some cookies and share them with Mommy. They are delicious. + +Anna and Ben are happy and lively. They forget about the fire and the smoke. They enjoy the cookies and the time with Mommy. They think that measuring is fun. They decide to build another tower later. But this time, they will use only blocks. And they will be careful. +Lily and Ben are playing with cups and water. They like to fill the cups and pour the water out. They count how many cups they have. + +"One, two, three, four!" Lily says, pointing to her cups. + +"I have more cups than you!" Ben says, showing his cups. "One, two, three, four, five!" + +"No, you don't!" Lily says, grabbing one of Ben's cups. "Now I have five, too!" + +"Hey, give it back!" Ben says, trying to get his cup back. They tug and pull on the cup. + +Suddenly, the cup breaks and the water spills on the floor. They both gasp and look at the broken cup. + +"Uh-oh," Lily says, dropping the cup. + +"Uh-oh," Ben says, dropping the cup. + +They hear their mom coming. They look at each other and run to hide behind the sofa. + +Mom sees the mess on the floor and the broken cup. She shakes her head and sighs. + +"Who did this?" she asks, looking around. + +Lily and Ben peek from behind the sofa. They see mom's face. She is not happy. + +They feel sorry and scared. They come out from behind the sofa and hug mom. + +"We did it, mom," Lily says, in a small voice. + +"We're sorry, mom," Ben says, in a small voice. + +Mom hugs them back and smiles. + +"It's okay, my loves," she says, in a warm voice. "I'm not mad. But next time, be careful with the cups, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Lily and Ben say, nodding. + +Mom picks up the broken cup and the wet towels. She takes them to the kitchen. + +"Come on, let's have some warm milk and cookies," she says, holding their hands. + +Lily and Ben follow mom to the kitchen. They forget about the cups and the water. They are happy to have mom and each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big box with a sign that said "Do not open". They wanted to know what was inside. They thought it was a mystery. + +"Let's open it and see," Tom said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, we should not," Lily said. She was scared and careful. "The sign says no. Maybe it is something bad." + +But Tom did not listen. He lifted the lid of the box. It was very heavy. He had to use all his strength. He wondered what could weigh so much. + +He wished he had not opened it. Inside the box was a big, angry bear. It roared and jumped out. It was hungry and mad. It saw Tom and Lily and ran towards them. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily screamed. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear caught them and bit them. It hurt a lot. They cried and wished they had listened to Lily. + +The bear ate them up. It did not like how they tasted. They were sour and bitter. It spat them out and looked for something else to eat. It was still hungry and mad. It saw the sign on the box and tore it apart. It did not care what it said. It was a bad bear. It was a bad day. The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, Sara's mom says, "We are going to the mall. Do you want to join us, Tom?" Tom says, "Yes, please. I like the mall. There are many toys and books and snacks." + +Sara and Tom go to the mall with Sara's mom. They see a big, hairy dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Sara and Tom laugh and pet the dog. They say, "Hello, dog. You are so hairy and soft. What is your name?" The dog's owner says, "His name is Max. He likes children. Do you want to play with him?" Sara and Tom say, "Yes, we do. He is a nice dog." + +Sara and Tom play with Max for a while. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They give him a treat and he rolls over. They hug him and he barks. They have a lot of fun. Sara's mom says, "It's time to go home, kids. Say goodbye to Max." Sara and Tom say, "Bye, Max. We will miss you. You are a good dog." Max says, "Woof, woof. Thank you for playing with me. You are good friends." Sara and Tom smile and wave. They join Sara's mom and leave the mall. They are happy. +Ben likes to fold paper. He can make hats, boats, and planes. He likes to play with his paper toys. One day, he sees a new insect in the garden. It is big and green and has wings. Ben wants to fold a paper insect like that. + +He gets a green paper and folds it. He makes a head, a body, and four legs. He tries to make wings, but they are hard. He asks his mom for help. Mom is busy. She is doing serious work on her laptop. She says, "Not now, Ben. I have to finish this." + +Ben is sad. He wants to show mom his paper insect. He goes to the garden again. He sees the real insect on a flower. He puts his paper insect next to it. He hopes they will be friends. He says, "Hello, insect. I made you a friend. Do you like it?" + +The real insect looks at the paper insect. It does not like it. It thinks it is a fake. It flies away. Ben is sad again. He picks up his paper insect. He says, "Don't worry, paper insect. I like you. You are my friend." + +He goes back to the house. He sees mom is done with her work. She smiles at him. She says, "Sorry, Ben. I was busy. What do you have there?" Ben shows her his paper insect. He says, "I made this. It is an insect. I saw it in the garden. But it flew away. It did not like my paper insect." + +Mom hugs him. She says, "That's okay, Ben. Your paper insect is very nice. You are very good at folding paper. I am proud of you. Do you want to make more paper toys with me?" Ben nods. He says, "Yes, mom. I want to make more paper toys. Can we make a paper hat for you?" Mom says, "Sure, Ben. Let's make a paper hat. And maybe a paper flower for the insect. Maybe it will come back and like it." Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, mom. Let's do that." They go to the table and fold paper together. They have fun. +Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a red car that could zoom very fast. They always took turns to drive the red car on the porch, where they made roads and bridges with blocks and sticks. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Rob and he had no cars to play with. He looked poor and sad. Tim and Jen felt sorry for him and wanted to be his friend. They waved to him from the porch and said, "Hi, Rob! Do you want to play with us?" + +Rob nodded and came over. He saw the red car and his eyes lit up. He asked, "Can I try that car? It looks so cool and fast!" + +Tim and Jen looked at each other. They both wanted to drive the red car, but they also wanted to share and be nice. They decided to let Rob try the car for a little while. They said, "Sure, Rob. You can try the red car, but you have to be careful. It can zoom very fast and it might break if you crash it." + +Rob thanked them and took the red car. He drove it on the porch, making loud noises and pretending to be a racer. He zoomed the car faster and faster, until he lost control and hit a block. The red car flew off the porch and landed on the grass. It broke into pieces. + +Tim and Jen gasped and ran to the grass. They saw their favorite car ruined. They felt angry and sad. They said, "Rob, you broke our car! You were not careful! You were not nice!" + +Rob looked at the broken car and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Tim and Jen. I didn't mean to break your car. I just wanted to have fun. I have no cars to play with. I'm poor and lonely." + +Tim and Jen looked at Rob and felt sorry too. They realized that he had no friends and no toys. They decided to forgive him and be his friend. They said, "It's okay, Rob. We're sorry we yelled at you. We know you didn't mean it. We have many other cars to play with. You can play with us anytime. We're your friends." + +Rob smiled and hugged them. He said, "Thank you, Tim and Jen. You're very kind and generous. You're my friends too." + +They picked up the pieces of the red car and went back to the porch. They played with the other cars and had fun. They learned to share and care for each other. They became the best of friends. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big book with many words. They wanted to read it. + +"Look, Sam, this word is 'set'. It means to put something down," Tim said. He set the book on the floor. + +"And this word is 'fat'. It means to be big and round," Sam said. He pointed to a picture of a fat cat. + +They laughed and turned the pages. They saw more words and pictures. They tried to say the words out loud. + +But they did not see the fat cat. The fat cat was real. It was hiding under the bed. It was hungry and angry. It did not like the boys. It did not like the book. + +The fat cat waited and watched. It saw the boys set the book on the floor. It saw a chance to attack. It jumped out of the bed and ran to the book. It bit the book and tore the pages. It made a loud noise. + +"Help, Tim, help! The fat cat is here! It is eating the book!" Sam cried. + +Tim and Sam were scared. They ran away from the fat cat. They ran to the door and opened it. They ran outside and closed it. They were safe. + +They looked at each other and sighed. They were sad. They liked the book. They wanted to read more words. + +"Maybe we can find another book, Sam. A book without a fat cat," Tim said. + +"Maybe, Tim. But we have to be careful. There may be more fat cats out there," Sam said. + +They hugged and walked away. They hoped to find a new book. A book with many words. A book with no fat cats. +Timmy was a little boy who liked to chew. He chewed his food, his toys, his clothes and even his books. His mom and dad were troubled by his chewing. They tried to teach him not to chew things that were not food, but Timmy did not listen. + +One day, Timmy was in his room, chewing a crayon. He heard his mom call him for lunch. He ran to the kitchen, still holding the crayon in his mouth. He saw a tray on the table, with a sandwich, a carrot, a cookie and a glass of milk. He was hungry, so he sat down and reached for the sandwich. + +"Timmy, stop!" his mom said. "What do you have in your mouth?" + +Timmy looked at his mom and opened his mouth. The crayon fell out, leaving a blue stain on his tongue and teeth. + +"Timmy, that's not food! That's a crayon! You can't chew crayons, they are bad for you!" his mom said. + +"But I like to chew," Timmy said. + +"I know, but you have to chew only food. Food is good for you, it makes you grow and be healthy. Crayons are not food, they are for drawing and coloring. They can make you sick and hurt your teeth. Do you understand?" his mom said. + +Timmy nodded. He felt sorry for making his mom troubled. He decided to try to chew only food from now on. + +"Can I have the sandwich, please?" he asked. + +"Of course, here you go. And after lunch, you can draw and color with the crayons, but not chew them, okay?" his mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I love you," Timmy said. + +"I love you too, Timmy. And I'm proud of you for learning to chew only food," his mom said. + +They smiled at each other and ate their lunch. Timmy enjoyed his sandwich, his carrot, his cookie and his milk. He did not chew the tray. He was a good boy. +Tom is a robot. He likes to help humans. He can do many things that humans cannot do. He is very intelligent. + +One day, Tom is working in a big building. He sees a human who is in trouble. The human is stuck under a heavy box. The box is too heavy for the human to move. + +"Help me, please!" the human says. "I cannot breathe!" + +Tom hears the human. He runs to the human. He uses his strong arms to push the box. He pushes and pushes until the box moves. He frees the human. + +"Thank you, Tom!" the human says. "You saved me! You are very brave and kind!" + +Tom is happy. He smiles at the human. He says, "You are welcome. I am glad you are okay. I like to help humans. Humans are my friends." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He wears a blue shirt. + +"Wait for me!" Lily says. She runs after Tom. She wears an orange shirt. + +They take turns to go on the slide. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +But then, Lily sees a boy crying. He sits on a bench. He has no shirt. He is cold. + +"Why are you crying?" Lily asks the boy. + +"I lost my shirt. I can't find it. I'm cold and sad," the boy says. + +Lily feels sorry for the boy. She has an idea. + +"Here, you can have my shirt. It is orange. It is warm. It will make you happy," Lily says. She takes off her shirt and offers it to the boy. + +The boy smiles. He takes the shirt and puts it on. He feels warm and happy. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are my friend," the boy says. + +Lily smiles too. She feels good. She has a new friend. + +"Come on, let's go on the slide together!" Lily says. + +The boy nods. He holds Lily's hand. They run to the slide. + +Tom sees them. He is happy for them. He joins them on the slide. + +They all have fun. They laugh and shout. They are friends. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to watch films. They had a big box of films that they could choose from. One day, they wanted to watch a film about animals. They looked at the box and saw a film with a pretty picture of a lion and a zebra on it. + +"Let's watch this one!" Sara said, and took the film out of the box. + +"OK!" Tom said, and put the film in the machine. But when they pressed play, they saw something else on the screen. It was not a film about animals, but a film about cars and trucks. + +"Hey, this is not the right film!" Tom said, and stopped the machine. + +"Someone must have put the wrong film in the wrong case," Sara said, and looked at the film. She saw that it had a label that said "Cars and Trucks". + +"Maybe we can remove the label and put it on the right case," Tom said, and tried to peel off the label. But it was stuck very hard, and he could not remove it. + +"No, we can't do that," Sara said, and stopped him. "That is not nice. We have to put the film back in the box and find the right case for it. Maybe someone else wants to watch it later." + +"But we want to watch the film about animals," Tom said, and pouted. + +"I know, but we have to be honest and fair," Sara said, and smiled. "Maybe we can find another film about animals in the box. Come on, let's look together." + +Tom nodded, and put the film back in the box. He and Sara looked for another film about animals, and soon they found one with a pretty picture of a monkey and a parrot on it. They put it in the machine, and pressed play. They saw a film about animals, and they were happy. + +The moral of the story is: be honest and fair, and don't try to change things that are not yours. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the bath. They have a duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. They make bubbles with the shampoo. They laugh and splash. + +One day, Lily has an idea. She puts some shampoo on her head. She makes her hair look funny. She says to Tom, "Look at me! I am a lion. Roar!" Tom thinks Lily is funny. He puts some shampoo on his head too. He says, "Look at me! I am a clown. Honk!" They pretend to be a lion and a clown. They speak in funny voices. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the shampoo on their heads. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Tom, what are you doing? You are wasting the shampoo. And you are making a mess. Shampoo is not for playing. Shampoo is for washing your hair. Come on, rinse it off. It is time to get out of the bath." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They like to play with the shampoo. They say, "But Mom, we are having fun. We are being a lion and a clown. Can we play a little more?" Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you can't. Shampoo is not a toy. It is not good for your eyes. And it is not tasty. It is yucky. If you eat it, you will get sick. Now, hurry up and get out of the bath. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily and Tom are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They rinse off the shampoo. They dry themselves with the towels. They put on their pajamas. They follow Mom to the kitchen. Mom has a big smile. She says, "Here is your surprise. I made you some cookies. They are warm and tasty. You can have one each. But only if you brush your teeth first." Lily and Tom are happy. They love cookies. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We are sorry for playing with the shampoo. We will not do it again." They hug Mom. They brush their teeth. They eat their cookies. They say, "Mmm, these are the best cookies ever. They are much better than shampoo." They go to bed. They dream of lions and clowns and cookies. +Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play in the backyard. The backyard is huge. It has a swing, a slide, a sandbox and a treehouse. + +One day, Sam and Lily want to play in the treehouse. They climb up the ladder and go inside. They find a big box of toys. They see cars, dolls, books and puzzles. They are very happy. + +They start to play with the toys. Sam picks a car and Lily picks a doll. They make noises and pretend to drive and talk. They have fun. + +But then, Sam sees a puzzle. He likes puzzles. He wants to play with the puzzle. He puts down the car and grabs the puzzle. Lily sees him. She is angry. + +"Hey, that's my puzzle!" she says. "I need that puzzle. Give it back!" + +"No, it's my puzzle!" Sam says. "I need that puzzle. You have the doll!" + +They start to fight. They pull and tug and shout. The puzzle falls to the floor. The pieces scatter everywhere. They are sad. + +They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry. + +They hug and make up. They pick up the pieces and put them back in the box. They decide to share the toys. They play nicely. + +They are happy again. +Anna is a big girl. She is four years old. She has many friends at school. She is popular. She likes to play with dolls and blocks and books. + +Anna has a baby brother. His name is Leo. He is an infant. He is very small and cute. He cries a lot. He sleeps a lot. He drinks milk from a bottle. + +Anna loves Leo, but sometimes she is jealous. She wants more attention from Mom and Dad. She wants to play with them and cuddle with them. She does not want to share them with Leo. + +One day, Anna comes home from school. She sees Mom and Dad holding Leo on the couch. They are smiling and cooing at him. Anna feels angry and sad. She stomps her feet and says, "No! No! No! I want Mom and Dad! Leo is bad! Leo is boring! Give him away!" + +Mom and Dad look at Anna. They are surprised and hurt. They put Leo in his crib and go to Anna. They hug her and say, "Anna, we love you very much. You are our big girl. You are special and smart and fun. We are proud of you. We also love Leo very much. He is our baby boy. He is special and sweet and needs us. We are happy to have him. You and Leo are both our children. We have enough love for both of you. We do not want to give anyone away. We want to be a family." + +Anna listens to Mom and Dad. She feels sorry and ashamed. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I love you too. I love Leo too. He is my brother. I want to be a good sister. I want to help you and play with him. Can I hold him and give him a kiss?" + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "Of course, Anna. You are a good sister. You can hold him and give him a kiss. He loves you too. He likes to hear your voice and see your face. He will grow up and play with you soon. You can teach him many things. You can be his friend. We are a family. We are happy together." +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. They have a big ball, a small car and a red towel. They take turns to kick the ball, drive the car and wave the towel. + +One day, Ben wants to play with the car and the towel at the same time. He says to Sam, "Give me the car and the towel. They are mine." Sam says, "No, they are not. We share them. You can have the car or the towel, not both." Ben gets angry. He grabs the car and the towel from Sam. He says, "They are mine, mine, mine!" + +Sam tries to get them back. He pulls the car and the towel from Ben. They fight. They push and shout and cry. The car and the towel fall on the ground. They get dirty and torn. Ben and Sam do not care. They keep fighting. + +A big dog sees the car and the towel on the ground. He thinks they are toys. He runs to them. He picks up the car and the towel in his mouth. He bites them. He makes them more dirty and more torn. He runs away with them. Ben and Sam see the dog. They stop fighting. They say, "Oh no! Our car and our towel! The dog took them! The dog bit them!" + +Ben and Sam are sad. They have no car and no towel to play with. They have no toys. They have no fun. They look at each other. They say, "We are sorry. We were bad. We should not fight. We should share. We should be tidy. We should be good." But it is too late. The dog is gone. The car and the towel are gone. Ben and Sam are alone. + +The moral of the story is: Do not fight with your brother. Share your toys. Be tidy. Be good. Or a dog might bite them. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of animals, like a pig, a cow, a horse and a dog. They liked to pretend that they were farmers and took care of their animals. + +"Look, Lily, this is my pig. He is very cute and pink. He likes to eat apples and corn. Do you want to feed him?" Ben asked his sister. + +"Yes, please. I like pigs. They are funny and soft. Can I give him a name?" Lily said. + +"Sure, you can name him. What do you want to call him?" Ben said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the pig and smiled. "I want to call him Oink. Because he says oink oink all the time. Oink, oink, oink!" she said and made the sound of a pig. + +Ben laughed. He thought that was a good name. He gave Lily an apple and a corn. "Here, you can serve him these. He will be very happy and full. Oink, oink, oink!" he said and made the sound of a pig too. + +Lily took the apple and the corn and went to the pig. She put them on the floor in front of him. "Here you go, Oink. This is for you. You are a good pig. I love you. Oink, oink, oink!" she said and petted him. + +The pig was very happy and hungry. He ate the apple and the corn quickly. He wagged his tail and snorted. He liked Lily and Ben. They were nice and kind. He loved them too. Oink, oink, oink! +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They found a big lollipop under a bush. It was red and shiny and smelled like cherry. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "Can we eat it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They decided to share the lollipop. They each took a bite. It was sweet and sticky. + +"Yum, this is good!" Ben said. + +But then, something strange happened. They felt their clothes getting loose. They looked at each other and gasped. They were shrinking! + +"Help, help!" Anna cried. "What is happening to us?" + +They dropped the lollipop and ran to the house. They hoped their mom would see them and help them. But the grass was tall and the sun was hot. They felt dry and thirsty. + +"Mom, mom!" Ben shouted. "Where are you?" + +They reached the door, but it was too high for them. They tried to climb, but they slipped and fell. They were scared and sad. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my lollipop?" It was Sam, the boy who lived next door. He had left his lollipop in the garden and forgot about it. He saw Anna and Ben on the ground. They were tiny and tired. + +"Sam, help us!" Anna said. "Your lollipop made us shrink!" + +Sam was surprised and sorry. He picked them up and put them on his palm. He ran to his mom and told her what happened. + +"Don't worry, kids," Sam's mom said. "I know how to fix this. Your lollipop was a magic lollipop. It can make you big or small. You just have to say the magic word." + +"What is the magic word?" Ben asked. + +"Please," Sam's mom said. "You have to say please and thank you when you take something that is not yours." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said please and thank you. They felt a tingling in their bodies. They grew back to their normal size. They hugged Sam and his mom and said sorry. + +"It's okay," Sam said. "I'm sorry too. I should have shared my lollipop with you." + +They all smiled and became friends. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be polite and kind. And they learned to be careful with magic lollipops. +Tim and Anna were hungry. They wanted to eat waffles for breakfast. They asked their mom to make them waffles. + +"Mom, can we have waffles, please?" Tim said. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to help me. Can you get the eggs and the milk from the fridge?" Mom said. + +Tim and Anna nodded. They ran to the fridge. They opened the door. They saw the eggs and the milk. They also saw a big cake. The cake looked yummy. It had chocolate and cream and cherries on top. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Anna said. + +"Let's have a bite!" Tim said. + +They forgot about the eggs and the milk. They forgot about the waffles. They grabbed the cake. They took big bites. They made a mess. They did not hear Mom coming. + +"Tim! Anna! What are you doing?" Mom yelled. + +She saw the cake. She saw the crumbs. She saw the chocolate on their faces. She was very angry. + +"That cake was for Grandma's birthday! How could you be so naughty and greedy and lazy? You did not help me at all! You ruined the cake!" Mom said. + +Tim and Anna felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They wanted to say sorry. But Mom did not listen. She sent them to their room. She did not give them waffles. She did not give them anything. She did not hug them or kiss them. She did not love them anymore. + +Tim and Anna cried. They wished they could remember to be good. They wished they could have waffles. They wished they could have Mom. But they could not. They had nothing. They were sad. The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the park. They run, slide, swing and laugh. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big gray dog at the park. The dog is alone. It looks sad. Tom and Mia want to help the dog. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Tom asks. + +The dog does not answer. It wags its tail. + +"Can we pet you?" Mia asks. + +The dog nods. It licks Mia's hand. + +"Can we play with you?" Tom asks. + +The dog barks. It runs to the slide. + +Tom and Mia follow the dog. They take turns to slide with the dog. The dog is happy. Tom and Mia are happy. + +They play until it is time to go home. They hug the dog goodbye. + +"Bye, dog. We will come back tomorrow. We are your friends." Tom and Mia say. + +The dog smiles. It waves its paw. + +"Bye, Tom. Bye, Mia. Thank you for playing with me. You are my friends." The dog says. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big dog with no hair on its head. It is bald and scary. The dog barks and runs at them. + +"Help!" Mia screams. She is afraid of the dog. + +Tom grabs a stick. It is his weapon. He wants to protect Mia. He swings the stick at the dog. + +"Go away!" Tom shouts. "Leave us alone!" + +The dog stops and growls. It does not like the stick. It sees a man coming. The man is bald too. He is the dog's owner. + +"Sorry, kids!" the man says. "He is not mean. He is just playful. He likes to chase things. Come here, boy!" + +The man calls the dog. The dog runs to him. He puts a leash on the dog. He smiles at Tom and Mia. + +"Are you OK?" he asks. "You are very brave. You protected your friend. That was a good weapon. But you don't need to be afraid of my dog. He is friendly. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Mia look at the dog. He wags his tail. He licks the man's face. He does not look scary anymore. + +"OK," Tom says. "Maybe we can pet him. But only a little bit." + +"OK," Mia says. "But only if you hold my hand." + +Tom and Mia hold hands. They walk to the man and the dog. They pet the dog gently. The dog likes it. He makes a happy sound. + +"See?" the man says. "He is a good dog. He is just bald. Like me. It does not mean he is bad. It just means he is different. And different is OK." + +Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They are not afraid anymore. They are happy. They make a new friend. The dog is bald. But he is nice. And nice is good. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. Lily liked to pretend she was a chef and make yummy food. Ben liked to pretend he was a pirate and look for treasure. Lily saw a big pot on the stove and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Ben, come here! I found something!" Lily called. + +Ben ran over and climbed on a chair next to Lily. He peeked into the pot and saw some soup bubbling. + +"Wow, that looks good! Can we have some?" Ben asked. + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "That is Mom's soup. We can't touch it. It is very hot and it can hurt us. Mom will warn us if we go near the stove. She will be very mad." + +Lily was very bossy and liked to tell Ben what to do. Ben did not like that. He wanted to have some fun and try the soup. He thought Lily was scared and silly. + +"I don't care. I want some soup. You are not the boss of me. I am a pirate and I can do what I want." Ben said. + +He reached for the pot handle and tried to pull it. Lily saw him and screamed. + +"Ben, stop! You will spill the soup and burn yourself! Mom, help!" Lily shouted. + +Mom heard the noise and ran into the kitchen. She saw Ben holding the pot and Lily crying. She quickly grabbed the pot from Ben and put it back on the stove. She turned off the heat and checked Ben's hand. He had a small red mark on his palm. He started to cry too. + +"Ben, what were you doing? I warned you not to touch the stove. It is very dangerous. You could have hurt yourself and Lily. You are very lucky it was not worse." Mom said. + +She hugged Ben and Lily and took them to the sink. She ran some cold water over Ben's hand and put a band-aid on it. She gave them both a kiss and a cookie. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was curious and I wanted some soup. I didn't listen to Lily. She was right and I was wrong." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was trying to stop Ben. I didn't mean to be bossy. I was scared and I wanted to help." Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, my loves. I know you were both playing and you didn't mean to cause trouble. But you have to be careful and listen to me and to each other. The stove is not a toy and the soup is not for you. It is for dinner. Now, why don't you go play in the living room and leave the kitchen to me?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We love you." + +They held hands and walked to the living room. They decided to play something else and not to fight. They learned their lesson and they never touched the stove again. +Anna loves her purse. It is pink and has a flower on it. She puts her toys and snacks in it. She takes it everywhere she goes. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and her dog, Spot. Spot is a loyal dog. He follows Anna and protects her. Anna plays on the slide and the swings. She has fun. + +But then, Anna sees a big bird. It is flying in the sky. It is shiny and colorful. Anna wants to see it better. She runs to the bench and climbs on it. She leaves her purse on the ground. + +The bird flies away. Anna is sad. She gets down from the bench. She looks for her purse. But she cannot find it. She is scared. She cries. + +"Mom, mom, where is my purse?" she shouts. + +Mom hears Anna. She runs to her. She hugs her. + +"Don't worry, Anna, we will find your purse. Maybe someone took it by mistake. Let's ask around," she says. + +They ask the other kids and the adults in the park. But no one has seen Anna's purse. Anna is more sad. She thinks she will never see her purse again. + +But then, they hear a bark. It is Spot. He is running to them. He has something in his mouth. It is Anna's purse. + +"Spot, you found my purse! You are a good dog! You are a loyal dog!" Anna says. She takes her purse from Spot. She opens it. All her toys and snacks are still there. + +She hugs Spot. She thanks him. She gives him a treat. She is happy. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Spot. She is happy for Anna. + +They leave the park. They go home. Anna holds her purse and Spot's leash. She loves her purse. She loves her dog. They are her best friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. It is hard and steep, but they are brave and strong. + +When they reach the top, they see a big hole in the ground. They are curious and scared. They wonder what is in the hole. They hear a noise from the hole. It sounds like a roar. + +"Hello?" Anna calls to the hole. "Who is there?" + +"Meow!" a voice answers from the hole. "I am a cat. I am stuck in the hole. Can you help me?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They like cats. They want to help the cat. They look around and see a rope. They tie the rope to a tree and lower it into the hole. + +"Grab the rope, cat!" Ben shouts to the hole. "We will pull you up!" + +The cat grabs the rope with its claws. Anna and Ben pull the rope with all their might. They see the cat's head and then its body. It is a big and fluffy cat. It has orange and white fur and green eyes. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the cat says to Anna and Ben. "You are very kind and brave. You saved me from the hole. How can I repay you?" + +Anna and Ben smile at the cat. They are happy and proud. They have a new friend. + +"You can repay us by playing with us," Anna says to the cat. "We have a ball and a kite. Do you want to play?" + +"Yes, yes!" the cat says to Anna and Ben. "I love to play. Let's go!" + +Anna, Ben and the cat run down the hill. They play with the ball and the kite. They have a lot of fun. The cat is very fast and agile. It can jump high and catch the kite. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. + +They have a wonderful day. They have a hole, a high hill and a cat. They have each other. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign near the road. The sign is red and has a picture of a man and a bike. + +"What does the sign say?" Tom asks Sam. + +Sam can read some words. He looks at the sign and says, "It says, 'No walk on the road. Only bike.'" + +"Why?" Tom wonders. + +Sam shrugs. "Maybe the road is too busy. Maybe the cars are too fast. Maybe the walk is too long." + +Tom nods. He thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. + +"Let's pretend we have bikes!" he says. + +Sam smiles. He likes to pretend. He and Tom make bike noises with their mouths. They hold their hands like they are holding bike handles. They run on the grass, away from the road. + +They pretend they are biking to the zoo, to the beach, to the moon. They have a lot of fun. They do not need a real bike. They have their imagination. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Be careful, okay? The tree is very high," her mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They found a branch that was easy to reach. They pulled themselves up and sat on the branch. They felt very happy. + +"Look, Lily, I see an angel!" Ben said. He pointed to the sky. He saw a white cloud that looked like an angel with wings. + +"Wow, you are right, Ben! It is an angel!" Lily said. She smiled and waved to the cloud. + +The cloud angel saw them and smiled back. It made a bow with its wings. It was very pretty. + +"Hello, angel! Thank you for the bow!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +The cloud angel nodded and flew away. It left a trail of sparkles in the sky. + +Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They were very amazed. + +"Let's go down and tell mom what we saw!" Lily said. + +"Okay, let's go!" Ben said. + +They slid down the branch and ran to their mom. They told her about the cloud angel and the bow. Their mom hugged them and said they were very lucky. They had a wonderful day in the park. +Sam and Lily liked to play with their toy guns. They pretended to be cowboys and robbers. They ran around the yard and hid behind trees and rocks. They made loud noises and said "bang bang" when they shoot. + +One day, they found a big orange on the ground. It was round and juicy and smelled good. Sam picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, I found a fruit. Let's eat it." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, Sam, let's play with it. It's flexible. We can squeeze it and roll it and throw it." + +Sam thought that was a good idea. He said, "OK, Lily, let's play. You be the robber and I'll be the cowboy. I'll shoot the orange and you catch it." + +Lily agreed and ran away. Sam squeezed the orange and aimed at her. He said, "Bang bang, I got you, robber. Give up or I'll shoot again." + +But when he shoot the orange, something bad happened. The orange was not flexible enough. It burst and squirted juice everywhere. Some of the juice went into Sam's eyes and made them sting. Some of the juice went into Lily's mouth and made her choke. They both cried and dropped their toy guns. + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw them covered in orange juice and dirt. She was angry and said, "What have you done, Sam and Lily? You wasted a good fruit and made a mess. You could have hurt yourselves or each other. No more toy guns for you. Go inside and wash up. You are in trouble." +Sara and Tom like to play in the garden. They dig with their spoons and find many things. They find rocks, leaves, bugs and worms. Sara likes worms. She thinks they are funny and soft. Tom does not like worms. He thinks they are icky and slimy. + +One day, they find a big white worm. Sara picks it up and shows it to Tom. "Look, Tom, a white worm! It is so pretty!" she says. Tom makes a face and says, "Yuck, Sara, put it down! It is not pretty, it is gross!" + +Sara does not listen to Tom. She holds the white worm in her hand and smiles. She wants to keep it as a pet. She says, "No, Tom, it is not gross, it is nice. I will name it Snowy and I will save it. I will give it a home and food and water." + +Tom shakes his head and says, "Sara, you are silly. You cannot save a worm. It does not need a home or food or water. It lives in the dirt and eats dirt. It will die if you keep it." + +Sara does not believe Tom. She says, "No, Tom, you are wrong. Snowy will not die. He will be happy with me. I will make him a bed and a bowl and a toy. He will be my friend." + +Tom rolls his eyes and says, "Sara, you are wasting your time. Snowy is not a friend. He is a worm. He cannot talk or play or hug. He will only wiggle and squirm and make a mess." + +Sara does not care what Tom says. She loves Snowy and she wants to save him. She says, "Tom, you are mean. You do not understand. Snowy is a friend. He can talk and play and hug. He just does it in a different way. He wiggles and squirms and makes a mess because he is happy and he loves me." + +Tom shrugs and says, "Whatever, Sara. Do what you want. But do not come crying to me when Snowy dies or runs away or gets eaten by a bird." + +Sara ignores Tom and walks away with Snowy. She finds a shoe box and fills it with dirt and grass and flowers. She puts Snowy in the box and gives him a kiss. She says, "There, Snowy, this is your home. You are safe with me. I will take care of you and you will take care of me. We will be the best friends ever." +Tom and Lily were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys and books. Tom liked to pack his bag very tidy. He folded his shirts and pants and put them in a neat pile. He also put his cars and trains in a small box. Lily did not like to pack her bag very tidy. She threw her dresses and skirts and socks in a big mess. She also put her dolls and teddy bears in a big bag. + +"Come on, Lily, we have to hurry!" Tom said. "Mom and dad are waiting for us in the car. We have to go to the airport and fly to the island with the volcano." + +"I don't want to go to the island with the volcano," Lily said. "I'm scared of the volcano. It might make a loud noise and spit fire and rocks." + +"Don't be scared, Lily," Tom said. "The volcano is very far away and it is sleeping. Mom and dad said we can see it from the boat and take pictures. It will be fun." + +"Are you sure?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I'm sure," Tom said. "Now, please, pack your bag tidy. It will be easier to carry and find your things." + +"Okay, okay," Lily said. She tried to pack her bag tidy, but it was still a bit messy. She zipped it up and dragged it to the door. + +"Good job, Lily," Tom said. He took his bag and followed her. They went to the car and put their bags in the trunk. Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. + +"Are you ready for the adventure?" dad asked. + +"Yes, we are!" Tom and Lily said together. + +They got in the car and drove to the airport. They were excited to see the island with the volcano. +Sam and Lily went to the park with their dad. They wanted to fly their kite in the sky. It was a big, red kite with a long, blue tail. They ran with the kite and let the wind lift it up. + +But then, Sam saw a fat, black dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Sam was scared of the dog. He let go of the kite and ran away. Lily tried to catch the kite, but it was too fast. The kite flew away from her. + +Lily ran after the kite. She did not see the rock on the ground. She stumbled on the rock and fell down. She scraped her knee and started to cry. The kite was gone. + +Dad heard Lily cry. He ran to her and picked her up. He hugged her and kissed her knee. He said, "It's okay, Lily. Don't cry. We can get another kite. You are more important than a kite." + +Sam came back too. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was afraid of the dog. I didn't mean to let go of the kite." He hugged Lily and said, "You are my best sister. I love you." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. It's okay. We can play something else." They all went to the swings and had fun. They forgot about the kite and the dog. They were happy. +Ben and Lily like to play at the park. They swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they see a big truck at the park. The truck has a lot of papers and boxes. A man gets out of the truck. He has a camera and a microphone. He is a news man. + +"Hello, kids," the news man says. "I am here to make a news story about the park. Can I ask you some questions?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They are curious. + +"What do you like about the park?" the news man asks. + +"I like the swings," Ben says. "They make me feel like I am flying." + +"I like the slide," Lily says. "It is fast and smooth." + +The news man smiles. He writes down their answers. He asks them more questions. He asks them how often they come to the park, what they do with their friends, and how they keep the park tidy. + +"We come to the park every day," Ben says. "We play with our friends and share our toys." + +"We keep the park tidy by throwing our trash in the bin," Lily says. "We also pick up any litter we see." + +The news man is impressed. He thanks Ben and Lily for their help. He tells them they are good kids. He gives them each a sticker. He says he will put their news story on the TV. + +Ben and Lily are happy. They wave goodbye to the news man. They go back to playing at the park. They are proud to be on the news. They can't wait to tell their mom and dad. +Lily and Max are friends who like to play with toys. One day, they find a microscope in the basement. It is a big tool that makes small things look big. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily asks. + +"It is a microscope. My dad uses it for his work. He says it can show us bugs and germs and other things we cannot see," Max says. + +"Can we try it?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but we have to be careful. It is very fragile and expensive," Max says. + +They put a slide with a drop of water under the microscope and look through the eyepiece. They see many tiny creatures swimming and wiggling. + +"Look, they are racing!" Lily says. + +"They are so fast and funny. I wonder what they are called," Max says. + +They take turns looking and naming the creatures. They have so much fun that they forget the time. + +Suddenly, they hear footsteps on the stairs. It is Max's dad. He is angry. + +"What are you doing with my microscope? You know you are not allowed to touch it!" he shouts. + +He takes the microscope away from them and scolds them. He tells them to go home and never come back. + +Lily and Max are sad. They say sorry and goodbye. They walk away with tears in their eyes. + +They wish they could still be friends and play with the microscope. They wonder if they will ever see the racing creatures again. +Lily was very happy. She had a new friend. Her friend was a parrot. The parrot had thick feathers and a big beak. He could talk and sing. + +Lily wanted to introduce her parrot to her mom and dad. She carried him in a cage to the living room. She said, "Mom, dad, this is my parrot. His name is Blue. He is very smart and funny. Can I keep him?" + +Mom and dad looked at the parrot. They smiled. They said, "Hello, Blue. You are a beautiful parrot. Where did you come from?" + +The parrot said, "Hello, mom and dad. I came from the pet shop. Lily saw me and liked me. She gave me a cracker and a hug. She is very nice and sweet. I want to stay with her." + +Mom and dad were surprised. They said, "Wow, Blue. You can talk very well. You are a special parrot. We are glad you like Lily. She is our special girl. You can stay with her, but you have to follow some rules. You have to be quiet at night, you have to be gentle with the furniture, and you have to share your crackers with Lily." + +The parrot said, "OK, mom and dad. I can follow the rules. I want to be a good parrot. I want to make Lily happy. Thank you for letting me stay." + +Lily hugged the parrot. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best. I love you and I love Blue. We are going to have so much fun together." + +Mom and dad hugged Lily and the parrot. They said, "We love you too, Lily. And we love Blue. You are a wonderful family." +Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the ducks and the geese and the swans. They were big and white and had long necks. They made funny noises and swam in the water. + +One day, Anna saw a swan that was different. It had a black neck and a red beak. It was very interesting. Anna wanted to know more about it. She asked her mom, "What is that swan, mom?" + +Her mom said, "That is a black swan, Anna. It is very rare and special. It comes from a far away place. Someone sent it to the park as a gift." + +Anna was amazed. She wanted to see the black swan up close. She asked her mom, "Can we feed it, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But we have to be careful and gentle. The black swan is not used to people. It might be scared or angry. We have to respect it and give it space." + +Anna nodded. She took some bread from her mom and broke it into small pieces. She walked slowly to the edge of the pond. She saw the black swan swimming with the other swans. She threw some bread into the water. The black swan saw it and came closer. It ate the bread and looked at Anna. Anna smiled and said, "Hello, black swan. You are very interesting. I like you." The black swan made a soft noise and nodded its head. Anna felt happy and proud. She had made a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a fat man with a long white beard and a red coat. He was sitting on a bench with a big sack. + +"Look, it's Santa!" Lily said. "Let's go and say hello." + +Ben was not sure. He thought the man looked funny. He did not have any reindeer or a sleigh. He did not look happy. + +"Maybe he is not Santa," Ben said. "Maybe he is just a man in a costume." + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the man and smiled. + +"Hello, Santa," she said. "Are you here to give us presents?" + +The man looked at Lily and frowned. He did not want to talk to her. He was not Santa. He was a magician. He was waiting for his show to start. He had a lot of tricks in his sack. + +"Go away, kid," he said. "I'm busy. I'm not Santa. I'm a magic man." + +Lily was sad. She did not like the man. She thought he was mean. She wanted him to be Santa. + +"No, you are Santa," she said. "You have a beard and a red coat and a sack. You are Santa and you have to give us presents." + +She pulled on his sack and tried to open it. The man was angry. He did not want her to touch his sack. He had a lot of secrets in it. + +"Stop it, kid," he said. "Let go of my sack. You are ruining my magic." + +Lily did not stop. She insisted. She wanted to see what was in the sack. She wanted to find a present for her and Ben. + +"Please, Santa, please," she said. "Give us a present. We have been good. We have been very good." + +The man had enough. He did not like Lily. He did not like kids. He did not like anyone. He wanted to be alone. He wanted to do his magic. + +He reached into his sack and pulled out a wand. He pointed it at Lily and said a word. + +"Zap!" + +Lily felt a tickle on her nose. She sneezed. She looked at her hands. They were covered in fur. She looked at Ben. He was laughing. He pointed at her. + +"Lily, you are a cat!" he said. "You are a funny cat. You have whiskers and a tail." + +Lily was shocked. She did not want to be a cat. She wanted to be a girl. She wanted to be herself. She looked at the man. He was smiling. He had a wicked smile. + +"That's what you get, kid," he said. "That's what you get for bothering me. That's my magic. That's my present for you." + +He put his wand back in his sack and walked away. He left Lily and Ben in the park. He left Lily as a cat. + +Lily was scared. She did not know what to do. She did not know how to change back. She did not like being a cat. She wanted to be a girl. She wanted to be Lily. + +She ran to Ben and meowed. She hoped he would help her. She hoped he would find a way to make her a girl again. + +Ben was sorry. He did not mean to laugh. He did not like the man. He did not like his magic. He did not like what he did to Lily. + +He hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Don't worry, cat. I will help you. I will find a way to make you a girl again. I will find a way to break the magic. I will find a way to make you Lily again." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many ducks. They also see a man with a small boat. The boat has a white sail. + +"Can we play with the boat?" Lila asks the man. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful, don't let the boat go too far," the man says. He gives them the boat and a long string. + +Lila and Ben take the boat and the string. They go to the edge of the pond. They put the boat in the water. They hold the string. The wind makes the sail move. The boat goes fast. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is!" Lila says. + +They watch the boat go around the pond. They see the ducks swim and quack. They laugh and clap. + +But then, they realize something. The string is getting shorter. The boat is going away from them. + +"Oh no, the boat is leaving!" Lila says. + +"Quick, pull the string!" Ben says. + +They try to pull the string. But it is too late. The string breaks. The boat sails away. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Ben shout. + +The man hears them. He runs to them. He sees the boat. + +"Don't worry, I'll get it back," he says. He takes a big stick. He reaches for the boat. He hooks the sail with the stick. He pulls the boat back. + +"Here you go, kids. Sorry about the string," he says. He gives them the boat. + +"Thank you, mister," Lila and Ben say. + +They are happy to have the boat back. They hug the boat. They hug each other. + +They learn a lesson. They need to be careful with the boat. They need to watch the string. + +They say goodbye to the man and the ducks. They go back to the park. They play with the boat some more. They have a healthy snack. They have a good day. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big bin in the park. The bin is full of old things. Tim and Sam want to see what is inside. + +"Look, Sam, a bin!" Tim says. "Maybe we can find something great in there." + +"OK, Tim, let's look," Sam says. They run to the bin and start to dig. + +They find a hat, a ball, a book, and a doll. Tim likes the hat and the ball. Sam likes the book and the doll. + +"Can I have the hat and the ball, Sam?" Tim asks. + +"No, Tim, I want the hat and the ball too," Sam says. + +"But I saw them first, Sam," Tim says. + +"That's not fair, Tim," Sam says. + +They start to pull and tug on the hat and the ball. They are not happy. + +A lady sees them and comes over. She is the owner of the bin. She is not happy either. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" she says. "What are you doing with my things?" + +"Sorry, lady, we just wanted to play," Tim says. + +"Well, you can't play with my things. They are not yours. They are mine. I put them in the bin because I don't need them anymore. But you can't take them. That's not nice," she says. + +"Sorry, lady, we didn't know," Sam says. + +The lady sighs. She sees that Tim and Sam are sad. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you suggest something else to play with?" she says. "Maybe you can share the book and the doll. Or you can play with the swings and the slide. Or you can make a sandcastle. There are many things you can do in the park. You don't need to fight over the bin." + +Tim and Sam think about it. They agree that the lady is right. They say sorry to the lady and to each other. They put the hat and the ball back in the bin. They decide to play with the book and the doll. They take turns to read and to cuddle. They are happy again. + +The lady smiles. She is glad that Tim and Sam are friends again. She thinks they are great kids. She leaves the bin and goes home. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play dress up. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. One day, they found a big brown box in the garage. It had a sign that said "Do not open". Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what was in the box. + +They opened the box and saw many shiny things. They were tools and wires and batteries. Tom and Lily thought they were toys. They took them out and started to dress up with them. They put wires on their heads, batteries in their pockets and tools in their hands. They laughed and pretended to be robots. + +But they did not know that the box was very dangerous. It was dad's old work stuff. He used to fix cars and machines. The wires and batteries and tools had power and could hurt them. When Tom and Lily touched the wires together, they made a big spark. The spark set the box on fire. The fire spread to the clothes and the garage. Tom and Lily screamed and ran away. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the fire and called the firemen. The firemen came with a big red truck and a loud siren. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They checked Tom and Lily and saw that they had burns and cuts. They took them to the hospital. + +Mom and dad were very sad and angry. They told Tom and Lily that they were very naughty and foolish. They said that they should never touch things that they do not know. They said that they could have died. They said that they were sorry for leaving the box in the garage. They said that they loved them, but they were very disappointed. Tom and Lily cried and said that they were sorry too. They learned a hard lesson. They never played dress up with dangerous things again. +Lily was nervous. She wanted to pick a light for her room. Mom said she could choose any light she liked. But there were so many lights in the store. Some were big and bright, some were small and soft. Some had colors, some had shapes. Lily did not know which one to pick. + +She walked around the store with Mom, looking at all the lights. She saw a light that looked like a star. She liked stars. They were shiny and pretty. She pointed at the light and said, "Mom, can I have this one?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, honey. That's a nice light. Do you want to see how it works?" She took the light from the shelf and plugged it into a socket. The light turned on and made a soft sound. It was a music light. It played a song that Lily knew. It was Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Wow, Mom, I love it! It's a star and a song! Can we take it home?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. You picked a great light, Lily. I'm proud of you." She put the light in a bag and paid for it. Then they left the store and went to the car. + +Lily was happy. She had picked a light for her room. She could not wait to see it at night. She knew it would make her feel cozy and safe. She hugged the bag and sang along with the music light. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play on the farm with the animals. One day, they saw a big cow in the field. The cow was brown and white and had a bell around her neck. + +"Look, a cow!" Ben said. "Let's race to the cow and say hello." + +"OK, let's go!" Lily said. They ran as fast as they could, laughing and shouting. + +The cow heard them and looked up. She was a playful cow. She liked to see the children. She mooed and walked towards them. + +"Hello, cow!" Ben and Lily said. They reached the fence and petted the cow's soft fur. The cow licked their faces with her tongue. + +"Wow, you are so nice, cow!" Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The cow mooed again. Ben and Lily thought she said, "My name is Daisy." + +"Daisy, you are a good cow," Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The cow nodded her head. She wanted to play. Ben and Lily climbed over the fence and ran around the field with Daisy. They had a lot of fun. They raced and chased and rolled in the grass. They were happy. Daisy was happy too. She was glad to have new friends. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rabbit. The rabbit is eating celery. Ben and Sam want to pet the rabbit. + +"Let's go and say hello to the rabbit," Ben says. + +"OK, but be quiet and slow," Sam says. + +They walk to the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and stops eating. It looks at them with big eyes. + +"Hi, rabbit. You are so cute. Can we pet you?" Ben asks. + +The rabbit does not answer. It hops away. Ben and Sam follow it. They think the rabbit is playing with them. + +The rabbit runs to a hole in the ground. It goes inside. Ben and Sam go after it. They think the hole is fun. + +But the hole is not fun. It is dark and dirty. It is also very deep. Ben and Sam cannot see anything. They cannot find the rabbit. They cannot find the way out. They are scared and cold. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. + +But no one hears them. No one knows where they are. They are stuck in the hole. + +Ben and Sam are not smart. They should not have followed the rabbit. They should have stayed in the park. Now they are in trouble. The end. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a rope hanging from a big tree. They want to swing on the rope. + +"Can I go first?" Tom asks. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily says. + +Tom holds the rope and runs. He swings high in the air. He feels happy and brave. He lets go of the rope and lands on the grass. He laughs. + +"Wow, that was fun!" he says. + +Lily claps her hands. She applauds Tom. She says, "You did great, Tom! Now it's my turn." + +She takes the rope and swings too. She swings higher and higher. She sees the sky and the birds. She smiles. + +But then, the rope breaks. Lily falls down. She cries. She hurts her knee. + +Tom runs to her. He hugs her. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you OK?" + +Lily stops crying. She says, "I'm OK, Tom. Thank you for being my friend." + +They walk to the bench. They sit down. They look at the rope. It is empty. It is broken. They feel sad. + +But then, they see a ball. It is red and shiny. It is on the ground. They look at each other. They smile. + +They say, "Let's play with the ball!" + +They run to the ball. They kick it. They throw it. They catch it. They laugh. + +They forget about the rope. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a toy motorcycle that they took turns riding. They knew they had to be careful and yield to cars when they crossed the street. + +One day, they saw a new family moving in next door. They had a boy their age who had a real motorcycle. It was shiny and loud and fast. Lily and Ben wanted to see it up close. They ran across the street without looking. They did not yield to the car that was coming. + +The car honked and braked, but it was too late. It hit Lily and Ben and threw them in the air. The boy next door saw what happened and ran to help. He called his mom and dad and they called 911. The sirens came and took Lily and Ben to the hospital. + +The boy next door felt very sad. He wished he could have been their friend. He wished he could have shared his motorcycle with them. He wished they had yielded to the car. He said to his mom and dad, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Lily and Ben did not wake up. They were gone. Their mom and dad were very sad. They cried and cried and cried. They said to each other, "We miss them, we miss them, we miss them." + +No one was glad. +Sara likes to dress up as a princess. She has a pink dress, a shiny crown and a wand. She likes to pretend she is in a castle and has a lot of friends. + +One day, she finds a bottle of oil in the kitchen. She thinks it is magic and wants to use it for her wand. She opens the bottle and pours some oil on her wand. She says, "Oil, oil, make me fly!" + +But nothing happens. The oil is not magic. It is just oil. It makes her wand and her hand very slippery. She tries to hold the wand, but it falls to the floor. The oil spills on the floor too. It makes a big mess. + +Sara's mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Sara, what did you do? This oil is for cooking, not for playing. You are very stupid. You could have hurt yourself or made a fire. Now you have to clean up and change your dress. No more princess for you today." + +Sara feels sad and sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought the oil was magic. I wanted to fly like a princess. I didn't mean to make a mess." + +Sara's mom hugs her and says, "I know, honey. But you have to be careful with things you don't know. Oil is not magic. It is for making food. Maybe next time you can ask me before you use something. Now let's clean up and find you a new dress. You are still my princess, but a smarter one." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tube in the park. The tube is red and shiny. It has a hole at each end. + +"Look, a tube!" Lily says. "Let's go inside!" + +"OK!" Ben says. They run to the tube and crawl inside. The tube is dark and cool. They can hear their voices echo. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" Lily shouts. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" Ben shouts back. + +They giggle and crawl to the other end of the tube. They see a boy sitting on the grass. He has curly hair and a blue shirt. He looks at them with big eyes. + +"Hi!" Lily says. "Who are you?" + +"Hi!" the boy says. "I'm Sam. I'm new here. I just moved with my mom and dad." + +"Nice to meet you, Sam!" Ben says. "We are Lily and Ben. We are friends. Do you want to play with us?" + +"Sure!" Sam says. "That would be fine. What do you like to play?" + +"We like to play with the tube!" Lily says. "It's fun and loud. You can try it too!" + +"OK!" Sam says. He smiles and gets up. He follows Lily and Ben to the tube. They take turns crawling inside and shouting. They laugh and have fun. They introduce Sam to the tube. They make a new friend. +Tim and Tom are twins. They like to play with toys and make noise. One day, they find a pipe in the yard. It is long and shiny and has holes. + +"Look, a pipe!" Tim says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Tom says. "What can we do with it?" + +They try to blow into the pipe, but nothing happens. They try to hit the pipe, but it makes a loud clang. They try to roll the pipe, but it is too heavy. + +"This pipe is no fun!" Tim says. "Let's find something else!" + +But then, they see a man walking by. He has a hat and a coat and a bag. He looks poor and sad. + +"Hello, boys," the man says. "What are you doing with that pipe?" + +"We are trying to play with it, but it is no fun," Tom says. + +"Can I see it?" the man asks. + +Tim and Tom give him the pipe. The man smiles and puts it to his mouth. He blows into the pipe and makes a beautiful sound. It sounds like a bird or a flute. + +"Wow!" Tim and Tom say. "How do you do that?" + +"It's a magic pipe," the man says. "It can make music if you know how to play it. Do you want to hear a song?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Tom say. + +The man plays a song on the pipe. It is a happy and catchy song. Tim and Tom clap their hands and dance along. They feel happy and forget that the pipe was no fun before. + +"Thank you, thank you," the man says. "You are very kind. You made my day better." + +He gives the pipe back to Tim and Tom. + +"Can you keep it?" Tim asks. "You can play it better than us." + +"Really?" the man says. "Are you sure?" + +"Yes, yes!" Tom says. "It is a gift for you. You are a good man." + +The man hugs Tim and Tom. He thanks them again and again. He puts the pipe in his bag and walks away. He whistles the song he played. + +Tim and Tom wave goodbye. They feel proud and happy. They applaud themselves for being generous and friendly.

They always have fun. + +One day, they see a big billboard on the road. It has a picture of a tall man with a funny hat. He is holding a big cup of ice cream. The billboard says: "Come to Bob's Ice Cream Shop. The best ice cream in town!" + +Sam and Ben look at each other. They both love ice cream. They decide to race to the ice cream shop. They pedal as fast as they can. They pass cars, buses, and trucks. They are almost there. + +"Look, I'm winning!" Sam shouts. + +"No, I'm winning!" Ben shouts. + +They are so busy looking at each other that they don't see the red light. They zoom across the street. They don't hear the horn of the car that is coming. They don't see the driver who is angry. They only see the ice cream shop. + +They reach the ice cream shop at the same time. They jump off their bikes and run to the door. They are happy. They are hungry. They are ready for ice cream. + +But the door is locked. The ice cream shop is closed. There is a sign on the door. It says: "Sorry, we are out of ice cream. Come back tomorrow." + +Sam and Ben look at the sign. They look at each other. They look at the billboard. They are sad. They are angry. They are out of luck. + +They get back on their bikes and ride home. They don't race. They don't talk. They don't have fun. They learn a lesson. They should always look at the road. They should always obey the rules. They should always check the hours. And they should never trust a tall man with a funny hat. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair, dress her up and talk to her. + +One day, Anna sees a new doll in the store. The doll has curly hair, a blue dress and a hat. Anna thinks the doll is pretty and wants to have her. She asks her mom if she can buy the doll. Her mom says no, they have enough dolls at home. + +Anna is sad and angry.

She thinks she is smart and happy. She has gained a new doll. + +But when she gets home, she feels bad. She knows she did something wrong. She knows she should not take things that are not hers. She knows her mom will be angry and sad if she finds out. She does not want to hurt her mom. She does not want to lose her love. + +She takes the doll out of her backpack and looks at her. She does not feel happy anymore. She feels guilty and scared. She does not want to touch the doll. She wants to give her back. She decides to tell her mom the truth. She knows it will be hard and serious, but she also knows it is the right thing to do. She hopes her mom will forgive her and hug her. She loves her mom and Lily more than any doll. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and beep and pretend they were racing. Sam had a red car with a big motor that made a loud noise. Lily had a blue car with a small motor that made a soft noise. + +"Look at my car, it's faster than yours!" Sam said, as he pushed his car along the path. + +"No, it's not, my car is smarter than yours!" Lily said, as she steered her car around the flowers. + +They played for a while, until Sam's car stopped making noise. He looked at it and saw that the motor was broken. He felt sad and angry. + +"Your car is bad, it broke my car!" he shouted at Lily. + +"No, it's not, your car is bad, it broke itself!" she shouted back. + +They started to argue and push each other. They forgot to have fun. + +Then they heard a meow from the tree. They looked up and saw a cat. It was stuck on a high branch and looked scared. It was their neighbor's cat, Fluffy. They liked Fluffy and wanted to help him. + +"Fluffy is in trouble, we have to save him!" Sam said. + +"But how? The branch is too high, we can't reach him!" Lily said. + +They thought for a moment. Then Sam had an idea. + +"I know, we can use your car!" he said. + +"My car? How?" Lily asked. + +"Your car has a small motor, but it has a long string. We can tie the string to a stick and make a hook. Then we can throw the hook to the branch and pull Fluffy down!" Sam explained. + +"That's a good idea, let's try it!" Lily agreed. + +They worked together to make the hook. They threw it to the branch and caught it. They pulled gently and Fluffy came down. He was happy and licked their faces. + +"Thank you, you saved me!" he meowed. + +"You're welcome, Fluffy, we're glad you're safe!" they said. + +They hugged Fluffy and each other. They felt happy and sorry. + +"I'm sorry I yelled at you, your car is not bad, it's good!" Sam said. + +"I'm sorry I yelled at you, your car is not bad, it's good!" Lily said. + +They smiled and decided to share their cars and play nicely. They learned that saving a friend is more fun than fighting. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy trains. They like to make them go fast and slow, and make noises like engines. Lily has a big red train, and Ben has a small blue train. + +"Let's see which train is heavier," Lily says. "We can use the scale to weigh them." + +"Okay," Ben says. "I think my train is heavier, because it has more cars." + +They put their trains on the scale, one by one. The scale shows a number for each train. Lily's train is 12, and Ben's train is 10. + +"Look, my train is heavier than yours," Lily says. "That means it is stronger and faster." + +"No, it doesn't," Ben says. "My train is lighter, so it can go faster on the tracks. And it has more cars, so it can carry more things." + +They start to argue about whose train is better. They raise their voices and make angry faces. + +"Stop, stop," Mom says, coming into the room. "Why are you fighting? You both have nice trains. You should share and play nicely." + +"But Mom, she said her train is better than mine," Ben says. + +"And he said his train is faster than mine," Lily says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them both. "You know, it doesn't matter how heavy or light your trains are. What matters is how you play with them. You should be honest and kind to each other, and have fun. That's what makes a good train game." + +Lily and Ben look at each other and feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and hug. Then they take their trains and play together. They make them go fast and slow, and make noises like engines. They are happy and have fun. +Lily liked to help her mom bake cookies. She liked to mix the flour and the sugar and the eggs. She liked to roll the dough and cut out shapes. But her favorite part was to fold the chocolate chips into the dough. She liked how they made little bumps and melted in the oven. + +One day, her mom said they had a special guest coming over. It was her aunt Rose, who lived far away. Lily wanted to make her aunt happy, so she asked her mom if they could bake cookies for her. Her mom said yes, and they went to the kitchen. + +Lily helped her mom with the ingredients and the tools. She was very careful and did everything her mom told her. When it was time to fold the chocolate chips, her mom gave her a big bowl of dough and a small bowl of chips. Lily smiled and started to fold. + +But then she saw something else in the small bowl. It was not a chocolate chip. It was a raisin. Lily did not like raisins. She thought they were yucky and wrinkly. She did not want to fold them into the dough. She wanted to take them out and throw them away. + +She looked at her mom, who was busy with the oven. She looked at the door, which was closed. She looked at the raisin, which was staring at her. She had an idea. She picked up the raisin and put it in her pocket. She did the same with the other raisins. She folded only the chocolate chips into the dough. She was very proud of herself. + +She and her mom put the cookies on a tray and baked them. They smelled very good. Lily could not wait to eat them. She hoped her aunt would like them too. + +When the cookies were done, they took them out and let them cool. They put them on a plate and covered them with a cloth. They went to the living room to wait for their guest. + +Soon, they heard a knock on the door. It was aunt Rose. She was very happy to see them. She hugged them and gave them gifts. She said she was hungry and asked if they had anything to eat. Lily's mom said they had baked cookies for her. She took her to the kitchen and showed her the plate. + +Aunt Rose lifted the cloth and smiled. She said the cookies looked delicious. She picked one up and took a bite. She chewed and swallowed. Then she made a face. She said the cookie was mild. She said it had no flavor. She said it was boring. + +Lily was confused. She did not understand. She thought the cookies were good. She thought the chocolate chips were yummy. She thought the raisins were yucky. She looked at her mom, who looked surprised. She looked at her aunt, who looked disappointed. She looked at her pocket, which was bulging. She felt something wet and sticky. She realized what she had done. She felt very bad. She wished she had not folded the raisins into her pocket. She wished she had folded them into the dough. She wished she had made her aunt happy. She started to cry. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks. They want to build a big tower with all the blocks. They think it will be fun and hard. + +They start to build the tower. They put one block on top of another block. They make the tower taller and taller. They use blue blocks and red blocks and yellow blocks. They are happy and proud. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is brown and furry. The dog likes to play too. The dog sees the tower and runs to it. The dog barks and jumps. + +"Look out!" Tom says to Sue. "The dog will knock down our tower!" + +Sue sees the dog and gets scared. She holds Tom's hand. They hope the dog will go away. + +But the dog does not go away. The dog reaches the tower and pushes it with his nose. The tower falls down. All the blocks scatter on the floor. The dog wags his tail and licks the blocks. + +Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They worked hard to build the tower. They wanted to have success. They cry and shout. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog! Go away!" they say to the dog. + +The dog does not understand. The dog thinks they are playing. The dog barks and jumps some more. + +Then, Tom has an idea. He sees a blue ball on the floor. He picks up the ball and throws it far away. + +"Fetch!" he says to the dog. + +The dog sees the ball and runs after it. The dog likes the ball. The dog forgets the tower and the blocks. + +Tom and Sue are glad. They hug each other. They think they are smart and brave. + +They decide to build another tower. They use the blocks again. They make the tower bigger and better. They are happy and proud. They have success. +Sara likes to hold her journal. It is a book with many pages. She can draw and write in it.

"We need it for the rainbow." + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we lost it. Maybe someone took it." + +They looked at each other and felt bad. They liked their chalk and did not want to lose it. They did not want to share it with anyone. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their neighbor, Sam. He was holding the green chalk in his hand. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Hi, Ben and Lily," he said. "Do you want to play with me? I found this ordinary chalk on the sidewalk. It looks like yours. Can I use it?" + +Ben and Lily ran to Sam and took the chalk from him. They were happy and relieved. They hugged the chalk and thanked Sam. + +"Sorry, Sam," Ben said. "This is our chalk. We were looking for it. We need it for our rainbow." + +"Oh, I see," Sam said. "I did not know. It was just lying there. I thought it was ordinary chalk. Can I play with you, then? Can I help you with the rainbow?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They decided to share their chalk with Sam. They were not mad at him. He was their friend. They invited him to join them. + +"Sure, Sam," Lily said. "You can play with us. You can help us with the rainbow.

They have fun. They make a new friend. They teach him sign language. They learn to share and play. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim says. He is smart and curious. + +"OK!" Sam says. He is brave and strong. + +They push and pull the box. It is heavy and hard. They make a hole in the side. They look inside. They see a lot of wires and buttons and lights. + +"Wow!" Tim says. "This is cool! Maybe it is a robot!" + +"Or a spaceship!" Sam says. "Let's try it!" + +They climb inside the box. They touch the wires and buttons and lights. They hear a beep and a buzz. The box starts to shake and move. + +"Help!" Tim says. "This is scary! How do we stop it?" + +"I don't know!" Sam says. "I can't find the off button!" + +The box rolls and bumps and spins. It hits the wall and the door and the bike. Tim and Sam scream and cry. They suffer a lot. They hurt their heads and arms and legs. Their body is sore and bruised. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the garage. They see the box and the mess. They see Tim and Sam inside the box. They are angry and worried. + +"What are you doing?" Mom says. "Get out of there!" + +"Sorry!" Tim and Sam say. "We were just playing!" + +Mom and Dad help them out of the box. They hug them and scold them. They check their body and give them ice and bandages. + +"This is not a toy!" Dad says. "This is a generator! It makes electricity! It is dangerous!" + +"We didn't know!" Tim and Sam say. "We thought it was a robot or a spaceship!" + +"You should never touch things you don't know!" Mom says. "You could have been hurt more! You are lucky!" + +"We are sorry!" Tim and Sam say. "We won't do it again!" + +They learn their lesson. They are not so smart after all. They suffer enough. They go to their room and play with their cars and balls. They are happy and safe. +Lena and Tom were friends. They liked to play together in the park. They had a lot of fun. They moved a lot. They ran, jumped, slid and swung. + +One day, Tom told Lena something sad. He said, "Lena, I have to go. My family is moving to another country. We will leave tomorrow." + +Lena was very sad. She said, "But Tom, you are my best friend. I will miss you a lot. Can we still talk?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Lena, we can still talk. I have a phone. I will call you every day. I promise. You are my best friend too." + +Lena and Tom hugged. They said goodbye. They hoped to see each other again. + +But Tom did not call Lena. He did not keep his promise. He forgot about Lena. He made new friends in the new country. He did not care about Lena anymore. + +Lena waited for Tom's call every day. She was very lonely. She had no other friends. She did not trust anyone. She thought Tom was reliable, but he was not. She was very angry and sad. She wished Tom never moved. She wished he was still her friend. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Sara's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said. + +They started to pull the doll from each other. The doll's head came off and they both gasped. + +"Look what you did!" Sara cried. + +"It's your fault!" Ben yelled. + +They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. They knew she would be angry. They felt guilty. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. + +She saw the broken doll and the mess. She frowned. + +"Who did this?" Mom asked. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They didn't want to get in trouble. They didn't want to tell the truth. + +They both pointed at the left. There was no one there. + +Mom knew they were lying. She was not happy. + +"You both need to say sorry and share your toys. And you need to surrender the car and the doll. No more playing with them today. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They gave up the car and the doll. They went to their rooms. They wished they had been nice to each other. They learned their lesson. +Mia liked to sort things. She sorted her toys by color, shape, and size. She sorted her books by how big they were. She sorted her clothes by how warm they were. She was very independent and did not need help from anyone. + +One day, she decided to sort her gloves. She had many gloves of different colors and patterns. She put them on the floor and started to match them. She found a red glove and looked for another red glove. She found a blue glove and looked for another blue glove. She found a yellow glove and looked for another yellow glove. + +But she could not find a green glove. She had one green glove with white dots, but she could not find its pair. She looked under the bed, in the closet, in the drawer, but she could not find it. She was very sad and frustrated. She did not like to have only one glove. + +She went to her mom and showed her the green glove. "Mom, I can't find the other green glove. Where is it?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "I have a surprise for you, Mia. Come with me," she said. She took her to the living room, where there was a big box with a bow. "This is for you, Mia. Happy birthday!" + +Mia opened the box and gasped. Inside, there were many new gloves of different colors and patterns. And there was also the other green glove with white dots. Mia was so happy and excited. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She put on the green gloves and said, "Look, mom, they match! They are my favorite!" + +Her mom nodded and said, "I know, Mia. I know you like to sort things. And I know you are very independent and smart. But sometimes, it's okay to ask for help. And sometimes, it's okay to wait for a surprise. I love you, Mia." + +Mia smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love my new gloves. Can I sort them now?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Of course, Mia. You can sort them however you want. But first, let me give you a big kiss." +Sara was hungry and wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and saw a bowl of green stuff on the table. She asked her mother, "What is that?" + +Her mother said, "That is spinach. It is good for you. Do you want some?" + +Sara made a face and said, "No, thank you. Spinach is disgusting. I do not like it." + +Her mother said, "Please, Sara, try a little bit. You might like it if you taste it. It has cheese and butter and salt." + +Sara shook her head and said, "No, no, no. I want something else. Do you have cookies or crackers or fruit?" + +Her mother sighed and said, "No, I do not have any of those. We need to go to the store later. But you need to eat something now. Please, Sara, eat some spinach. It will make you strong and healthy." + +Sara looked at the bowl of green stuff and felt her stomach turn. She did not want to eat it. But she also did not want to make her mother sad. She loved her mother and wanted to make her happy. She thought for a moment and then said, "OK, mother. I will try a little bit. But only a little bit." + +She took a small spoonful of spinach and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes and chewed. It was not as bad as she thought. It was warm and cheesy and salty. She swallowed and opened her eyes. She smiled and said, "It is not disgusting. It is OK. Can I have some more?" + +Her mother smiled and said, "Yes, of course. I am glad you like it. You are a good girl, Sara. Thank you for trying something new." + +Sara ate some more spinach and felt proud of herself. She had done something hard and learned something new. She hugged her mother and said, "You are welcome, mother. I love you." +Ben and Lily liked to play with their dad's computer. They liked to see the pictures and hear the sounds. But they did not know how to use the computer well. Sometimes they pressed the wrong buttons and made the computer angry. + +One day, they found a file on the computer that had a funny name. It was called "Pause". They wanted to see what was inside. They clicked on the file and opened it. But instead of a picture or a sound, they saw a lot of words that they did not understand. The words were rough and scary. They said things like "Virus", "Error" and "Delete". + +Ben and Lily were afraid. They did not know what to do. They tried to close the file, but it did not work. The file took over the computer and made it beep and flash. The computer was very angry. + +Dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw the file on the screen and was shocked. He quickly turned off the computer and unplugged it. He looked at Ben and Lily and said, "What did you do? This file is very bad. It can break the computer and make it sick. You should never touch it. You should always ask me before you use the computer. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry, Dad. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We will not do it again. Please do not be mad at us." + +Dad hugged them and said, "I am not mad at you. I am glad you are safe. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The computer is not a toy. It has many files that are not for you. Some files are good and some files are bad. You have to learn how to use the computer the right way. Will you do that?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, Dad. We will do that. We will learn how to use the computer the right way. And we will never touch the file called Pause again." + +Dad smiled and said, "That's good. I love you, Ben and Lily. Now let's go and have some cookies." + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that you do not understand. Always ask for permission and guidance. Be careful and respectful of other people's belongings. +Anna and Ben are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play outside and see the animals. Sometimes they help with the farm work. + +One day, mom tells them to go and pick some flowers for the table. She says they can go to the field where the wheat is growing. The wheat is tall and yellow. It makes bread and cake. Anna and Ben run to the field. They see many flowers in the field. They are red, blue, pink and white. They are blooming. Blooming means they are open and pretty. + +Anna and Ben pick some flowers. They make a bouquet. A bouquet is a bunch of flowers. They are careful not to hurt the wheat. They say hello to the birds and the bees. They are happy. + +They go back to the house. They see mom in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She is tidy. Tidy means clean and neat. She smiles when she sees the flowers. She says they are beautiful. She puts them in a vase. A vase is a pot for flowers. She thanks Anna and Ben. She says they are good helpers. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +Anna and Ben are proud. They are hungry. They sit at the table. They eat bread and cake. They drink milk. They talk about the flowers and the wheat. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They did not like to wash their hands and faces. + +"Come on, Lily and Tom, it is time to sit and eat," Mom called from the kitchen. "You need to clean up first. Use the soap and water." + +Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They did not want to use the soap and water. They thought they were not dirty. + +"No, Mom, we are not hungry. We are not dirty. We want to play more," they said. + +Mom was not happy. She came out of the kitchen and saw their dirty hands and faces. She saw the mud on their clothes and shoes. She saw the mess in the garden. + +"Lily and Tom, you are very naughty. You did not listen to me. You did not use the soap and water. You made a big mess. You are not humble. You are selfish. You will not sit and eat. You will go to your room and stay there. No toys, no books, no fun. Maybe then you will learn to be good," she said. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had used the soap and water. They wished they had been humble. But it was too late. They had to go to their room and stay there. They had no toys, no books, no fun. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, Tom has a good idea. He says to Lily, "Do you want to invite Sam to play with us? He is nice and fun." + +Lily nods and smiles. She likes Sam too. They run to Sam's house and knock on the door. Sam's mom opens the door and says, "Hello, Tom and Lily. What are you doing here?" + +Tom says, "We are going to the park. Can Sam come with us? We want to invite him to play." + +Sam's mom says, "Sure, he can go with you. But you have to be careful and stay together. The park is far and you have to cross the street. I will call a taxi for you." + +She picks up the phone and calls a taxi. Soon, a yellow car comes and stops in front of the house. The driver opens the door and says, "Are you the kids going to the park?" + +Tom, Lily, and Sam say, "Yes, we are." + +They get in the car and put on their seat belts. The driver says, "OK, let's go. Have fun at the park." + +The taxi drives away and takes them to the park. Tom, Lily, and Sam are happy. They thank the driver and get out of the car. They run to the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They play and laugh and have a good time. They are glad they invited Sam to join them. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big statue of a man with a hat and a coat. Lily wanted to know who he was, but Ben did not care. + +"Who is he, mom?" Lily asked. + +"He is an unknown man, Lily. No one knows his name or his story. He was very brave and helped many people, but he never told anyone who he was. He wanted to be humble and kind," mom said. + +Lily thought that was very nice of him. She wanted to be like him. She took a paper from her backpack and folded it into a heart. She wrote "thank you" on it and put it on the statue's hand. + +Ben saw what she did and laughed. He thought it was silly and childish. He took a paper from his backpack and folded it into a plane. He wrote "you are boring" on it and threw it at the statue's head. + +The paper plane hit the statue and bounced back. It hit Ben in the eye and made him cry. Mom saw what happened and scolded Ben. + +"Ben, that was very rude and mean of you. You should not make fun of someone who did good things, even if you do not know him. You should respect and appreciate him. And you should not hurt your sister or yourself with your paper plane. You should apologize and learn from your mistake," mom said. + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said sorry to Lily and to the statue. He took his paper plane and unfolded it. He wrote "I am sorry" on it and put it on the statue's other hand. + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben. She said it was okay and that she loved him. Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said she was proud of them and that they learned a valuable lesson. + +The statue seemed to smile too. He held the paper heart and the paper plane in his hands. He was happy that someone remembered him and that someone learned from him. He was not unknown anymore. He was a friend. +Lily wanted to wear her new dress today. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked it very much. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and twirled around. + +"Come on, Lily, we have to go," her mom called from downstairs. "We are going to the park with your friends." + +Lily ran down the stairs, holding her dress. She was excited to play with her friends and show them her new dress. She hoped they would like it too. + +But when she got outside, she saw that the sky was gray and cloudy. She felt a drop of water on her nose. Then another one on her hair. It was starting to rain. + +"Oh no, Lily, we can't go to the park now," her mom said. "It's raining too much. We have to delay our plan. Maybe we can go tomorrow if the sun comes out." + +Lily felt sad and disappointed. She wanted to go to the park today. She wanted to wear her new dress today. She didn't want to wait until tomorrow. + +"But mom, I want to go now," she said. "I want to play with my friends. I want to wear my new dress. It's not fair." + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I know you are upset," her mom said. "But we can't control the weather. Sometimes we have to change our plans and be flexible. How about we do something else instead? We can read a book, or play a game, or bake some cookies. What do you think?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She still wanted to go to the park, but she knew her mom was right. She couldn't make the rain stop. She had to accept it and find something else to do. She decided to be brave and positive. + +"Okay, mom, I guess we can do something else," she said. "Maybe we can bake some cookies. I like cookies. And maybe we can read a book too. And maybe tomorrow the sun will come out and we can go to the park then." + +"That sounds like a good idea, Lily," her mom said. "I'm proud of you for being flexible and optimistic. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and make some cookies. And don't worry, your new dress will still be there tomorrow. You can wear it then and show it to your friends. I'm sure they will love it as much as you do." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She took off her new dress and hung it in her closet. She put on her apron and followed her mom to the kitchen. She decided to make the best of the day, even if it was gray and rainy. She knew that tomorrow would be a new day, and maybe a sunny one. +Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two buttons for eyes and a smile. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, Mom, we made a snowman!" they shouted. + +Mom came out of the house and smiled. "He's very nice, but he looks cold. Why don't you give him a coat?" she said. + +Tom and Jen ran to the shed and found an old coat. They put it on the snowman and buttoned it up. They thought he looked warmer now. + +"Can we give him a present, too?" Jen asked. + +"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Mom said. + +Tom had an idea. He saw a broken toy car in the shed. He grabbed it and ran to the snowman. He put the car in the snowman's hand. + +"Here, snowman, this is for you. It's a car. You can drive it around," he said. + +Jen liked the idea. She saw a broken doll in the shed. She grabbed it and ran to the snowman. She put the doll in the snowman's other hand. + +"Here, snowman, this is for you, too. It's a doll. You can play with her," she said. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She thought they were very sweet and generous. She said, "You are very kind to the snowman. He must be very happy with his gifts." + +But the snowman was not happy. He did not like the broken car and the broken doll. He wanted something else. He looked at the house and saw the chimney. He wanted to go inside and see the fire. He thought the fire would make him warm and cozy. + +He waited until Tom and Jen and Mom went inside. Then he let go of the car and the doll. He walked to the house and climbed on the roof. He reached for the chimney. He wanted to go down and see the fire. + +But the chimney was too small for him. He got stuck in the chimney. He could not move. He felt the fire below him. He felt his hat and his scarf and his coat and his nose and his buttons and his smile melt away. He felt very hot and very sad. + +Tom and Jen and Mom heard a loud noise. They ran outside and saw the snowman in the chimney. They saw the smoke and the steam. They saw the puddle on the roof. + +They were very surprised and very sad. They liked their snowman. They did not know why he went to the chimney. They did not know he wanted to see the fire. + +They said, "Goodbye, snowman. We will miss you." +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, there was a new thing in the park. It was a big metal thing with wheels and buttons and lights. It looked like a car, but not a real car. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tim said. He ran to the metal thing and touched it. It was cold and hard. He climbed on it and pretended to drive. "Beep beep, I am a driver!" + +Lily followed him and looked at the metal thing. She did not like it. It was too big and too noisy. It had a funny smell, like smoke. She did not want to play with it. She wanted to play with the swings, the slide and the seesaw. She complained to Tim. "Tim, I don't like this. It is not fun. Let's go to the other things." + +Tim did not listen to her. He was having fun with the metal thing. He pushed the buttons and the lights flashed. He turned the wheel and the metal thing moved. He made loud noises with his mouth. "Vroom vroom, I am a racer!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to play with Tim anymore. She went to the swings, the slide and the seesaw by herself. She hoped that Tim would come back soon. She missed him. She wondered why he liked the metal thing so much. She thought it was boring and silly. She wished it would go away. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a bottle of lotion in their mom's bag. They think it is fun to squeeze the lotion and make bubbles. + +"Look, Ben, I can attach the lotion to the wall!" Anna says. She puts some lotion on her hand and throws it at the wall. It sticks like glue. + +"Wow, Anna, that is cool! Let me try!" Ben says. He takes the bottle and squeezes some lotion on his hand. He throws it at the door. It sticks too. + +They laugh and keep throwing lotion at the walls and the door. They make a big mess. They do not hear their mom coming up the stairs. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" their mom says. She opens the door and sees the lotion everywhere. She is angry and sad. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We were just playing." Anna says. She feels guilty. + +"Mom, we did not mean to make a mess. We thought it was fun." Ben says. He feels guilty too. + +Their mom sighs. She loves her twins, but they make trouble sometimes. She tells them to clean up the lotion and to not touch her things without asking. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She hopes they will learn to be more careful. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They loved to swing on the big swings and feel the wind in their hair. One day, they saw a field of poppies near the park. The poppies were red and pretty and smelled nice. + +"Let's go and pick some poppies!" Lily said. She was excited to make a flower crown for her hair. + +"OK, but we have to be careful not to hurt the poppies or the bees," Sam said. He was excited to make a flower bouquet for his mom. + +They ran to the field and started to pick some poppies. They were careful not to pick too many or to step on the bees. They made beautiful flower crafts and smiled. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the farmer who owned the field. He was angry and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing in my field? You are ruining my poppies and scaring my bees! Go away and don't come back!" + +Lily and Sam were scared and sad. They dropped their flower crafts and ran back to the park. They felt sorry for the farmer and the poppies and the bees. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that they should not take things that are not theirs without asking. They learned that they should respect nature and other people's work. They learned that they should say sorry when they make a mistake. + +The next day, they went back to the field with a card and a cake. They apologized to the farmer and gave him the card and the cake. The farmer was surprised and happy. He forgave them and thanked them. He even let them pick some poppies to take home, but only a few. + +Lily and Sam were happy and proud. They learned to be kind and honest. They learned to make friends and share. They learned to swing and enjoy the poppies. +Tom and Lily are friends. They live in a village near the big forest. One day, they see a lot of smoke in the sky. It is coming from the forest. + +"Oh no, the forest is on fire!" Tom says. "We have to help!" + +"Yes, we have to help!" Lily says. "But how?" + +They run to the village and tell the people. The people are scared and worried. They get buckets of water and shovels and run to the forest. + +Tom and Lily follow them. They see the fire is very big and hot. It is making a lot of noise and eating the trees and the animals. + +"Help, help!" they hear a voice. It is a red bird. It is trapped in a tree. The fire is getting closer. + +"Look, a red bird!" Lily says. "We have to save it!" + +"But how?" Tom says. "The tree is too high and the fire is too fast." + +They think hard. They see a long rope near a well. They have an idea. + +They take the rope and tie one end to a bucket. They fill the bucket with water from the well. They throw the other end of the rope over a branch of the tree. + +"Pull, pull!" they say to each other. They pull the rope and lift the bucket up to the tree. They pour the water on the fire and the bird. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the red bird says. "You are very brave and kind. You saved my life!" + +The bird flies away. Tom and Lily smile. They are happy. They helped the red bird and the forest. The people are proud of them. They hug them and cheer for them. They are heroes. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. Anna has a big red block. She wants to put it on top of her tower. Ben has a small blue block. He wants to put it on top of his house. + +"Give me your block, Anna," Ben says. "My house needs a roof." + +"No, Ben," Anna says. "My tower needs a top. It is my block. I found it first." + +They both pull on the block. They are stubborn. They do not want to share. They pull harder and harder. The block slips from their hands. It falls to the floor. It makes a loud noise. It breaks into two pieces. + +They both gasp. They look at the broken block. They feel sad. They drop the pieces. They sit on the floor. They do not want to play anymore. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I should have asked nicely." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "I should have let you have a turn." + +They hug each other. They are friends again. They pick up the pieces. They try to fix the block. They cannot fix it. They decide to use the pieces to make something new. They make a bridge with the pieces. They put their other blocks under the bridge. They make a river with a blue scarf. They make boats with paper. They have fun. They are happy. They share. +Tim liked to gain new things. He liked to gain toys, books, and stickers. He liked to gain hugs and kisses from his mom and dad. But he did not like to gain weight. He did not like when his clothes felt tight and his tummy stuck out. + +One day, Tim saw a big jar of butter in the kitchen. He loved butter. He loved to put butter on his bread, his pasta, and his corn. He thought butter made everything taste better. He wanted to gain more butter. He took the jar and hid under the table. He opened the lid and dipped his fingers in the butter. He licked his fingers and smiled. He felt happy. + +But soon, he felt sick. He ate too much butter. His tummy hurt and his mouth felt greasy. He did not feel happy anymore. He felt sorry. He heard his mom calling his name. He was scared. He knew he did something bad. He crawled out from under the table and saw his mom. She looked angry and sad. She saw the jar of butter and the mess on the floor. She saw Tim's face and hands covered in butter. She said, "Tim, what did you do? You ate all the butter! That was very naughty and unusual. Butter is not a snack. Butter is for cooking and spreading. You could get sick from eating too much butter. You could also gain a lot of weight. You need to eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. I'm very disappointed in you." + +Tim felt ashamed. He did not want to make his mom angry and sad. He did not want to get sick or gain weight. He wanted to be good and healthy. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I like butter, but I ate too much. I won't do it again. Please forgive me." He gave his mom a hug and a kiss. He hoped she would forgive him. + +His mom sighed. She was still angry and sad, but she also loved Tim. She said, "I forgive you, Tim. But you need to learn from your mistake. Butter is not a snack. You need to eat healthy foods. And you need to ask me before you take anything from the kitchen. Do you understand?" Tim nodded. He said, "I understand, mom. I will eat healthy foods. And I will ask you before I take anything. I love you, mom." He gave his mom another hug and a kiss. He felt a little better. + +His mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tim. Now, let's clean up this mess. And then, we can have some fruit for dessert. How does that sound?" Tim said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you, mom." He helped his mom clean up the mess. He learned his lesson. He did not want to eat butter anymore. He wanted to eat fruit. He wanted to gain his mom's praise and not her anger. He wanted to gain health and not weight. He wanted to be a good boy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big maze made of hay. They want to try it. + +"Let's go in the maze!" Tom says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Mia says. "The maze is big and we are small. We don't want to get lost." + +They hold hands and walk into the maze. They see many paths and turns. They try to remember where they go. They see some flowers and birds. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a tractor. It is coming to the maze. It is going to move the hay. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "We have to get out of the maze! The tractor is coming!" + +"Hurry, hurry!" Mia says. "We have to find the way!" + +They run and look for the exit. They are scared. They see the tractor getting closer. They hear it making noise. + +"Where is the exit?" Tom says. "I don't see it!" + +"Me neither!" Mia says. "What do we do?" + +They see a big hole in the hay. It is not a path.

I see you have discovered the value of things. You should be grateful for this find." + +The little girl was surprised, but thanked the voice for the advice.

Then he said, "We may have broken the bucket, but we still have a lesson to learn." + +"What?" said Amy. + +"We learned that it's important to ask for help when we can't do something alone.
