Why don't we design something together?" + +The old man agreed and the two of them worked together, making a beautiful flower bed with all the different colors of the flowers. As they finished, the old man felt the sadness inside of him disappear and a content happiness fill his heart. He thanked the little girl for her help, and the two of them went their separate ways. +John and Megan were very excited - their parents were fixing them a surprise for dinner.

His mom was busy preparing the radish. + +John asked his mom: "What is that smell mommy?" + +"It's a radish, honey. Have you ever had one before?" + +"No, I haven't. Is it delicious?" + +"Yes - and it's also very nutritious," his mom replied. + +They watched as their mom finished fixing the radish. And then, the dinner was ready! John and Megan dug in and the radish tasted delicious - nothing like the boring carrots that they usually had. + +Megan exclaimed, "This radish is yummy!" + +John agreed. "Now that's what I call a delicious dinner!" +John and Jane were best friends who lived in the same village. They both owned a hut each and spent a lot of time having fun together. + +One day, they sat outside their huts in the warm sunshine. Jane asked John, "What should we do today?" + +John thought for a bit and then said, "Let's make a brilliant hut together." + +So they both started building a hut together, collecting sticks and leaves. They worked together, sharing their ideas and helping each other until their new hut was finished. + +John smiled and said, "This is the best hut we own!" + +Jane smiled too and said, "It's brilliant!" +Once upon a time there was a little boy. His name was Mark. Mark had a big problem. The refrigerator in his kitchen was on fire. He had to save it. + +Mark began looking for water. He grabbed the biggest bucket he could find, ran to the river and filled it with water as fast as he could. + +When he got back, his mom was already helping put out the fire. Together, they were able to save the refrigerator. It was an impressive job! + +The family learned an important lesson from this experience.

He said, “Wealthy man, if I can pick five strawberries, will you let me pick your bow?†+ +The wealthy man thought about it, and he agreed. He said, “Yes, if you can pick five strawberries, you can pick my bow.†+ +So the poor man tried and tried to pick the strawberries, and he was successful! He had five strawberries in his hands. + +The wealthy man smiled, and he said, “Well done. Now you may pick my bow.†+ +The poor man was so happy and he thanked the wealthy man. He picked the red bow and kept it for himself. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there were two friends who liked to go on a trip together. This time, they wanted to go to the park. + +But before they left, they started to quarrel about which park to visit. They argued and argued until one of them said they should just flip a coin. + +But then another voice said, "Hey, what's going on here?" It was their nosy neighbor who had heard all the arguing. + +The two friends apologized and explained that they were just trying to decide where to go. + +The neighbor smiled and said, "Why don't you go to both parks? I know a shortcut so it won't take much longer!". + +The two friends were excited to hear the suggestion and set off on their two-park trip. They had a wonderful time and were grateful to their neighbor for giving them a great idea. +Once upon a time there was a small lion called Daisy. She was a very graceful lion, but she also had a temper. One day, Daisy got angry that her belt was too tight, so she let out a loud roar and started to burn it with her fiery breath. + +Her mother, the Queen of the jungle, heard the roar and came to see what had happened. She asked Daisy why she had burned her belt. Daisy said, "Because it was too tight and I wasn't happy". + +The Queen smiled and said, "Daisy, your belt was uncomfortable for a reason. It reminds you to be graceful and display good manners, even when you are angry. You must always try to be kind and forgiving, even when things don't go your way." + +Daisy thought about it and realised that being angry and burning things was not the answer. So from that day onwards, Daisy was very careful to remain graceful and show good manners, even when she was angry. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Mia. She was a very happy girl and always played with her toys. One day, Mia was playing with her toys near a big dish when she started to cry. Her grandfather came to see what was wrong. + +Grandfather: “Mia, why are you crying? What is wrong?†+Mia: “I can't reach the big dish. I can't play with it.†+Grandfather: “Oh Mia, don't cry.

My scissors have fallen," said Jessica. + +"Don't worry," Ben replied, "I'll get you a new one." + +So Ben went off and found a fake pair of scissors. He brought them back to Jessica and said, "Here! Now you have some new scissors!" + +Jessica was so happy and said, "Thank you, Ben! These fake scissors look just like my old ones!" + +The two of them continued playing their pretend game, and Jessica had lots of fun with her new scissors.

One day, she noticed a bench near a smooth lake. She was lured to its side and decided to sit down. + +"This is so comfortable," she said, as she sunk down into the seat. + +Suddenly, she felt something slippery under her feet. When she looked down, she saw that she had stepped on a wet spot. She could not stop herself from slipping off the bench and into the lake. + +The little girl was so scared. She upsetly climbed out of the lake, feeling like the world's biggest fool. + +At that moment, her mother came out of the house and saw her daughter's wet body. She didn't scold her daughter, but instead she said, "You were so brave to try something new. Just be sure to be more careful next time." + +The little girl felt much better and she thanked her mother for understanding. She ran back to the bench, but this time she was careful and tried to stay away from the slippery spot. + +The moral of the story is that it's okay to try new things, but it's important that you are attentive and careful. And always remember that the ones closest to you will understand. +Mum was feeling very happy one day. She had an idea to make something special. She opened a bin and took out an ordinary wooden board. Then she took a cloth and began to polish the board. Mum was polishing and polishing until the board was shiny and beautiful.

But then he saw a thief behind a tree. + +The thief was trying to steal something from the park. The little boy was scared and pointed at the thief and shouted, "Mummy! Thief!" + +Mummy quickly ran to the little boy and hugged him. The thief hurried away when he heard them. + +Mummy thanked the little boy for being obedient and for warning her about the thief. + +But the thief had already stolen something from the park and the little boy felt really sad. Despite being obedient, he didn't get to have any fun at the park. +Mommy and Grandpa were packing a lot of things. Grandma was helping too. Grandma was putting in things like books and blankets. + +Grandpa said: “What about this box? What can we pack in it?†+ +Mommy smiled and said: “Let’s put in something special. How about a story?†+ +Grandpa said: “What kind of story?†+ +Grandma said: “Let’s put in a special story, one that’s not real. A fake story.†+ +Grandpa reached into the big box and found a book with a bright cover. He opened it and said: “Here’s a fake story, just right for the box!†+ +Grandma, Mommy and Grandpa smiled at each other. Then they put the story into the box with the other things. It was a big surprise! +Once there was a very lazy thing. It drove everyone mad when its laziness seemed to match theirs. + +One day, it came across another thing. It was very friendly and smiled at the lazy thing. The lazy thing was pleased and said, "Hello! What is your name?". + +The friendly thing smiled and said, "My name is Mr. Busy. I'm here to remind you that laziness is not the best way to live your life". + +The lazy thing was quite ashamed, but it was also happy to have met such a friendly creature. It replied, "Thank you, Mr. Busy. I'm very glad to have met you!" + +From that day, the lazy thing worked a little bit harder and was very grateful for the help it had received. +Jack was very excited. He had found a rare pick in his backyard. He blinked in surprise as he looked at it. It was sparkly and rainbow-coloured, like nothing he had ever seen before. + +He ran inside to show his mum. "Mum," he said, "look at the pick I found!" She jumped up in surprise. "That is so rare!" she said. + +Jack smiled. "Can I keep it?" he asked. + +Mum shook her head. "No," she said. "It might be valuable. We have to take it to the store and see if it's worth something." + +Jack frowned. He didn't want to give up his pick. But what could he do? + +He reluctantly followed his mum out to the store. But, when they arrived, the store was closed and the lights were off. The pick was gone! + +Jack started to cry. Even if it was valuable, he would never get to keep his pick. He would never have it to blink at and play with again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sarah. She was very excited to be at her grandma's house. Sarah was greeted at the door by her grandpa who said, "Welcome Sarah!

The girl smiled and said, "That sounds nice." + +The man nodded, gave the girl a hug and continued on his way to the church. +Once upon a time, there was a loyal wolf. He liked to take naps in the sunshine and run around in the forest. One day, the wolf saw a family of ducks near his home. The wolf wanted to be their friend, but the ducks were scared. + +So, the wolf took a nap in the sunshine where the ducks could see him. Every day, the wolf would nap in the same spot and he never bothered the ducks. After some time, the ducks became brave enough to walk closer to the wolf. + +The wolf opened his eyes and said hello, and the ducks were no longer scared. They waddled closer and closer until the wolf and the ducks could be friends. The wolf would nap in the sunshine and the ducks would quack and play near him. They were the best of friends and remained loyal to each other for the rest of their days. +Once upon a time, there was a big, strong woodcutter. He went into the forest to chop wood with his mighty axe. The woodcutter was very eager to get the job done quickly, so he chopped the wood loud and fast. + +But then he heard a voice. Someone was demanding that he stop. He looked around and saw that it was a little girl. She was so small and impatient. She was yelling and pointing at the woodcutter's axe. + +The woodcutter was surprised, but he put down his axe and asked the little girl what she wanted. She pointed at a big, old tree and said, "I want you to chop it down." + +The woodcutter was taken aback, but since the little girl was so insistent, he grabbed his axe and chopped the tree down.

She smiled and waved goodbye as she skipped away. +Once upon a time there were two friends, Sarah and Tim.

They both ran excitedly towards the western side of the yard and saw a tall fence blocking their way. At first, Sarah and Tim felt a little scared and frustrated. + +Suddenly, Sarah realized that the tall fence was there to keep them safe. She said to Tim, "It looks like the fence is here to keep us safe so don't worry" and Tim smiled. + +After that, they both decided to explore the east side of the yard instead. As they were having so much fun, they soon forgot all about the tall fence in the west. +One day, Lucy was walking home in the rain. She was so tired and the day was so cold and wet.

Suddenly, an unusual figure appeared. Susie and her dad were unsure what it was. + +Susie asked her dad "What is it, Daddy?" + +Her dad said softly "I think it's a harmless butterfly." + +Susie was amazed.

She picked up her chubby book and ran back inside. + +When Mia got inside, she gave a big smile and said, "I minded you, mom!" Her mom said, "Yes, you did, and I'm very proud of you." Mia smiled and hugged her book, happy she had been so polite. +Suddenly, the sky lit up and began to glow. Little Jake was so amazed. He grabbed his mom's hand and they watched together. + +The sky was full of beautiful colors like orange and purple. It seemed like magic! + +Suddenly, a dolphin jumped out of the water. It had a shiny, wet back. Little Jake could see it sparkling in the glow of the sky. + +Little Jake was so excited he couldn't believe his eyes and he wanted to touch the dolphin.

One day it was spring, and Molly and Nibbles went outside to play in the garden.

They would peek out every now and then to see if anyone was coming.

From that day forward, Sam was always available and eager to help his friends no matter what. + +The moral of the story is to always be kind and help others when they need it.

Then your good deed will increase." + +So the bear did something helpful for a friend. In the end, the bear was much happier when he saw the joy his good deed brought others, compared to the small joy of having the jewel. + +The moral of the story is to do good deeds and spread joy. Being kind and helping others will always increase your happiness! +Once upon a time, there was an ordinary sailboat. It lived on the river and was very happy. One day, something special happened!

He wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +Tom and Lily stopped crying. They saw that Rex was sorry. He did not mean to break their toys. He just wanted to have fun. + +They hugged Rex and forgave him. They decided to fix their toys with some tape and glue. They knew that grandma and grandpa would understand. They still loved their toys, even if they were broken. They also loved Rex, even if he was naughty. They were a happy family. +Tom likes to read books. He reads every day. He reads about cars, animals, and space. He learns many things from books. He is a smart boy. + +One day, Tom sees a new book in the store. It is a big book with many pictures. It is about dinosaurs. Tom loves dinosaurs. He wants the book very much. He asks his mom to buy the book for him. His mom says no. She says the book is too expensive. She says Tom has many books at home. She says Tom can read the book at the library. + +Tom is angry. He does not listen to his mom. He wants the book now. He thinks of a plan. He waits until his mom is busy. He takes the book from the shelf. He hides the book under his coat. He walks out of the store. He thinks he is clever. He thinks he has a treat. + +But Tom is wrong. He has done a bad thing. He has stolen the book. He has broken the rule. He has hurt his mom. He has made a mistake. + +Tom runs to the park. He wants to read the book. He finds a bench. He sits down. He opens the book. He sees the pictures of dinosaurs. He feels happy. He forgets his mom. He forgets the store. He forgets the rule. + +But then, something happens. It starts to snow. It snows very hard. It snows very fast. It is very cold. It is icy. Tom feels cold. He shivers. He has no hat. He has no gloves. He has no scarf. He has no coat. He only has the book. The book is not warm. The book is not cozy. The book is not enough. + +Tom cries. He wants his mom. He wants his coat. He wants to go home. He is sorry. He is sorry for stealing the book. He is sorry for hurting his mom. He is sorry for breaking the rule. He is sorry for being greedy. + +But it is too late. Tom is stuck in the park. He is stuck in the snow. He is stuck with the book. He is not happy. He is not clever. He is not smart. He is foolish. He is sad. He is cold. + +The moral of the story is: Do not steal. Stealing is wrong. Stealing is bad. Stealing can hurt you and others. Stealing can make you lose what you have. Stealing can make you unhappy. Be honest. Be good. Be happy. +Sam liked to play with his toy gun. He liked to shoot at the trees and the birds and the clouds. He liked to make loud noises and pretend he was a hero. He did not like to share his toy gun with his sister, Lily. + +One day, Sam found a purple bottle in the garage. He did not know what was in it, but he liked the color. He thought it would be fun to shoot at the bottle and see what would happen. He did not see the label that said "poison". + +He took his toy gun and the purple bottle to the backyard. He put the bottle on the fence and aimed his toy gun. He pulled the trigger and shot at the bottle. The bottle broke and the poison spilled out. Some of it splashed on Sam's face and hands. It burned and hurt a lot. + +Sam screamed and cried. He ran to the house and looked for his mom. He wanted her to help him and make the pain go away. But his mom was not home. She had gone to the store to buy some food. She had told Sam and Lily to stay inside and be good. She had told them not to touch anything in the garage. She was a wise mom, but Sam did not listen to her. + +Lily heard Sam's scream and came out of her room. She saw him running and crying. She saw the purple bottle and the poison on the fence. She knew it was bad. She was scared and sad. She wanted to help her brother, but she did not know what to do. She wished her mom was home. She wished Sam had shared his toy gun with her. She wished he had not shot the purple bottle. She wished he had been a wise boy. +Tom and Anna liked to help their mom bake cakes. They always waited for the best part: using the mixer. The mixer was a big machine that made a loud noise and mixed the eggs, flour, sugar and butter together. Mom said the mixer was magic, because it turned the ingredients into cake batter. + +One day, mom had a surprise for them. She said she had a new mixer that was even more magic than the old one. Tom and Anna were very curious and excited. They followed mom to the kitchen and saw a big box on the counter. + +"What is in the box, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Let's find out," mom said. She opened the box and revealed the new mixer. It was shiny and colorful and had many buttons and lights. Tom and Anna gasped and clapped their hands. + +"Wow, mom, it's amazing!" Anna said. + +"Can we try it, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my loves," mom said. "Let's make a chocolate cake today. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Anna said. + +They helped mom measure and pour the ingredients into a big bowl. Then mom plugged in the new mixer and turned it on. The mixer made a soft and pleasant sound, like a song. It mixed the ingredients very fast and smooth. Tom and Anna watched in awe as the bowl filled with chocolate batter. + +"Mom, the new mixer is so peaceful," Anna said. + +"Yes, it is, my dear," mom said. "It's a peaceful mixer. It makes baking more fun and easy. And it makes delicious cakes too. Do you want to taste the batter?" + +Tom and Anna nodded and licked the spoons. They smiled and hugged mom. + +"Thank you, mom, for the new mixer," Tom said. + +"We love you, mom, and we love the peaceful mixer," Anna said. + +"I love you too, my sweeties," mom said. "Now let's put the batter in the oven and wait for our cake to bake. Then we can enjoy it together." + +Tom and Anna agreed and helped mom clean up the kitchen. They were very happy and proud to help mom bake cakes with the new mixer. They couldn't wait to try the chocolate cake and share it with mom. They knew it would be the best cake ever. +Lily and Max were playing in the sandbox. They liked to make castles and roads with the sand. Lily had a big bucket and Max had a small shovel. + +"Look, Max, I made an enormous castle!" Lily said, showing her bucket. "It has towers and walls and a gate." + +"That's very nice, Lily," Max said. "But I have something better. I have a shrimp!" + +Max dug in the sand and pulled out a tiny pink thing. He held it in his hand and showed it to Lily. + +"A shrimp?" Lily asked. "What is that?" + +"It's a kind of fish that lives in the water," Max said. "My dad gave it to me. He said it was a mail shrimp. He said he got it from the mailman." + +"A mail shrimp?" Lily repeated. "That's silly. How can a fish come from the mail?" + +"I don't know," Max said. "But it's true. Look, it has a stamp on its tail." + +Lily looked closer and saw a small sticker on the shrimp's tail. It had a picture of a flag and some numbers. + +"Wow, you're right," Lily said. "It does have a stamp. Maybe it's a special shrimp. Maybe it can talk or sing or dance." + +"Let's find out," Max said. "Hello, mail shrimp. Can you talk?" + +The shrimp did not say anything. It just wiggled in Max's hand. + +"Maybe it's shy," Lily said. "Or maybe it's hungry. Do you have any food for it?" + +Max shook his head. "No, I don't. Do you?" + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. + +"Maybe it likes sand," she said. "Sand is like water, right? Maybe it can swim in the sand." + +"Let's try," Max said. He put the shrimp in the sandbox and watched it. The shrimp burrowed into the sand and disappeared. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Max said. "Maybe it's happy in the sand. Maybe it's making friends with the other sand fish." + +"Maybe," Lily said. "Or maybe it's mailing itself to another place. Maybe it's going to see another castle or another shovel or another bucket." + +"Maybe," Max said. "But I hope it comes back. I like my mail shrimp. It's very cute and very special." + +They smiled at each other and continued to play in the sandbox, hoping to see the mail shrimp again. +Lily likes to mark with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She likes to show her pictures to her mom and dad. + +One day, she finds a big frame in the garage. It is brown and has glass in it. Lily thinks it is a good place to put her picture. She takes her crayons and a paper and goes to the frame. + +She marks a big sun, a blue sky, and a green grass on the paper. She is happy with her picture. She puts it in the frame and hangs it on the wall. She runs to find her mom and dad. + +"Look, look!" she says. "I made a picture for you!" + +Her mom and dad come to see. They smile and hug her. + +"That's a beautiful picture, Lily!" her mom says. "You are very creative!" + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lily says. "I love you!" + +They look at the picture together. Lily points to the sun, the sky, and the grass. She is proud of her work. + +But then, she sees something. The glass in the frame is wet. Her picture is wet. The colors are running and mixing. Her picture is ruined. + +Lily feels sad. She starts to cry. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her dad asks. "Why are you crying?" + +"The picture, the picture!" Lily says. "It's wet, it's wet!" + +Her dad looks at the frame. He sees the problem. The frame is not dry. It has water in it. The water came out and wet the picture. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry," he says. "The frame was not dry. It was from the rain. It was not a good frame for your picture." + +He takes the frame off the wall. He takes the picture out. He tries to dry it with a towel. But it is too late. The picture is gone. + +Lily cries harder. She hugs her mom. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," her mom says. "Your picture was very nice. But it's OK. You can make another one. You have many crayons and papers. You can make a new picture." + +Lily stops crying. She looks at her mom. + +"Really?" she asks. + +"Really," her mom says. "And we will find a better frame for it. A dry frame. A frame that will keep your picture safe." + +Lily smiles. She wipes her tears. She takes her crayons and a paper. She goes to the table. + +"I will make a new picture," she says. "A better picture. A picture for you." + +Her mom and dad smile. They kiss her. + +"We love you, Lily," they say. "You are a great artist." +Tom and Lily were pirates. They liked to sail on their boat and look for gold. One day, they saw a big island with a cave. They thought there might be gold in the cave. + +They parked their boat and went to the cave. It was dark and scary, but they had a torch. They walked and walked until they saw something shiny. It was gold! Lots of gold! + +"Wow, look at all this gold!" Tom said. "This is incredible!" + +"Let's count it!" Lily said. "One, two, three, four, five..." + +They counted and counted until they had a big pile of gold. They were very happy. They wanted to take the gold to their boat. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It was a dragon! The dragon lived in the cave and the gold was his. He was very angry that the pirates took his gold. + +He breathed fire at Tom and Lily. They screamed and ran, but it was too late. The fire burned them and their gold. They were gone. + +The dragon was happy. He had his gold back. He counted it again. One, two, three, four, five... +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big red ball under a tree. It was shiny and bouncy and looked like fun. + +"Can we play with it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not?" Ben said. "Maybe someone left it here for us." + +They took the ball and ran to the slide. They took turns rolling the ball down the slide and catching it. They laughed and cheered and had a good time. + +But then, a big boy came over. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He pointed at the ball and said, "That's my ball. Give it back." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They didn't know the big boy. They didn't know he had left the ball under the tree. They thought he was lying. + +"No, it's not your ball. We found it here. It's ours now," Ben said. + +The big boy got angry. He pushed Ben to the ground and grabbed the ball. He kicked Ben in the stomach and ran away. + +Lily cried and ran to Ben. She hugged him and tried to make him feel better. She rubbed his back and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" + +Ben groaned and said, "No, I'm not okay. It hurts a lot. Why did he do that? He was so mean." + +Lily didn't know what to say. She wished they had never found the ball. She wished they had left it alone. She wished they had been more careful. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take things that don't belong to you. You might get into trouble or hurt someone. Be honest and respectful of others. +Sara and Ben like to play with the ornaments on the tree. They are shiny and pretty and make funny sounds when they move. But one day, Sara sees a big red ornament that is very high on the tree. She wants to touch it and see what it does. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the ornament. But the chair is wobbly and Sara falls down. The ornament falls too and breaks into many pieces. + +Sara is scared and sad. She cries and says sorry to Mommy. She thinks Mommy will be angry and not love her anymore. But Mommy is not angry. She is kind and hugs Sara. She says it is okay and she still loves her. She says the ornament is not important and she can get a new one. She says Sara is more important and she is glad she is not hurt. + +Ben sees Sara and Mommy hug. He feels sorry for Sara and wants to make her happy. He remembers he has a special ornament in his room. It is a star that he made at school. He likes it very much and it is his favorite.

She says they rescued the tree and made it more beautiful. She says they are a family and they love each other. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they found a big lemon tree. It had many yellow fruits. + +"Look, Ben, lemons!" Anna said. "Let's pick some and make lemonade." + +"OK, Anna, that sounds fun," Ben said. They picked some lemons and put them in a basket. They ran to Anna's house. + +Anna's mom helped them make lemonade. She gave them a big pitcher and some cups. She also gave them some sugar and a spoon. + +"Thank you, mom," Anna said. "We will have a yummy drink." + +"You're welcome, sweeties," Anna's mom said. "But be careful, lemons are very sour. You need to add some sugar to make them sweet." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They poured some lemonade into their cups. They added some sugar and stirred with the spoon. They tasted their drink. + +"Wow, this is good!" Anna said. She smiled and drank more. + +"Yuck, this is bad!" Ben said. He made a face and spat out his drink. "This is too sour!" + +Anna looked at Ben. She saw that he had not added enough sugar. She had added a lot of sugar to her cup. + +"Ben, you need more sugar," Anna said. "Here, take some from my cup." + +She gave him some of her lemonade. Ben tasted it again. + +"Ah, this is better," Ben said. He smiled and drank more. + +They finished their lemonade and thanked Anna's mom. They went back to the park. They played some more.

I love you too. I'm sorry I was clumsy." Her mom says, "It's okay, honey. Everyone is clumsy sometimes. You are very creative and talented. I'm proud of you." They hug and kiss and glue the mug together. They fill it with hot chocolate and drink it together. Lisa feels happy again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the radio. The radio could make different sounds and songs. Sometimes they danced and sang along with the radio. + +One day, they wanted to hear the radio better. They saw a shelf on the wall where their mom put some books and a vase. They thought the shelf was a good place for the radio. They decided to climb on the bed and reach for the shelf. + +"Be careful, Ben," Lily said. "The shelf is high and the vase is breakable." + +"I can do it, Lily," Ben said. "I am strong and brave." He stretched his arm and grabbed the radio. He lifted it up and tried to put it on the shelf. But he lost his balance and fell off the bed. The radio and the vase crashed on the floor. The radio broke into pieces and the vase shattered. The noise was very loud. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the room. She saw the mess and the twins. She was angry and sad. She scolded Ben and Lily for being naughty and careless.

They said sorry to mom and to each other. They helped mom clean up the mess. They wished they could fix the radio and the vase. They learned their lesson. They were not proud of what they did. They promised to be more careful and listen to mom next time. +Anna and Ben liked to swim in the sea. They saw many fish and shells and rocks. They wanted to see the reef. The reef was a big and colorful place where many fish lived. They asked their dad to take them there. + +Their dad was thoughtful. He knew the reef was far and deep. He knew the sea could be dangerous. He said no. He said they could swim near the shore. But Anna and Ben did not listen. They were curious and stubborn. They waited for their dad to fall asleep. Then they took his boat and went to the reef. + +They saw the reef and it was beautiful. They saw many fish and corals and stars. They wanted to touch them. They jumped into the water. But they did not know how to swim well. They did not have life jackets. They did not have masks. They could not breathe. They could not see. They could not hear. They were scared and cold. + +They tried to go back to the boat. But they could not find it. The boat had drifted away. The sea was big and strong. It pushed them farther and farther. They cried for help. But no one heard them. Their dad did not know where they were. He woke up and saw the boat was gone. He was worried and angry. He called for help. But it was too late. + +Anna and Ben never saw their dad again. They never saw the shore again. They never saw the reef again. They sank into the dark and deep sea. They became food for the sharks. The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend that the floor is a road and the cars can go fast or slow. + +One day, they have a race. They each choose a car and put it at one end of the floor. They say "ready, set, go!" and push their cars to the other end. Tim's car is red and Sam's car is blue. They both want to win. + +But on the way, there is traffic. There are other cars and toys on the floor that block their path. Tim and Sam have to go around them or move them. Tim is faster and smarter. He finds a way to get past the traffic. Sam is slower and angrier. He gets stuck in the traffic. He can't move his car. + +Tim reaches the other end first. He shouts "I win! I win!" and jumps up and down. He is happy and proud. Sam sees him and feels bitter. He is sad and mad. He throws his car at Tim and hits him in the head. + +Tim falls down and cries. He is hurt and scared. Sam runs away and hides. He is ashamed and sorry. They are not friends anymore. They are enemies. The end. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they push the cars on the floor. + +One day, they decide to have a race. They choose their fastest cars and line them up at one end of the floor. They say ready, set, go and start to push their cars as hard as they can. They want to see who can reach the other end of the floor first. + +But they do not see their dad coming. He is bald and he wears glasses. He is carrying a big bag of groceries. He does not hear the noises of the cars. He walks on the floor and steps on Sam's car. The car breaks and Sam cries.

They forget about the race and the broken car. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big castle made of blocks. They spent hours building the castle, adding towers, walls, and flags. + +One day, their cousin Max came to visit. Max was older and bigger than Tom and Lily, and he did not like to share. He saw the castle and wanted to play with it, but Tom and Lily said no. They said it was their castle and they worked hard to make it. + +Max got angry and decided to destroy the castle. He kicked it with his foot and knocked it down. The blocks flew everywhere and some hit Tom and Lily. They cried and ran to their mom. + +Mom saw what happened and scolded Max. She said he was very naughty and mean, and he had to say sorry to Tom and Lily. She also said he had to help them rebuild the castle, or he could not play with them anymore. + +Max felt bad and realized he was wrong. He said sorry to Tom and Lily and helped them pick up the blocks. They worked together to make a new castle, even bigger and better than before.

They smiled and hugged each other, happy to have their castle and their cousin. They learned that destroying is bad, but building is good. +Lily and Ben love to make bubbles. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand with a hole. They dip the wand in the soap and blow. Out come many bubbles, big and small, round and shiny. They float in the air and catch the sun. + +"Look, Lily, I made a huge bubble!" Ben says. He holds the wand high and blows hard. The bubble grows and grows until it is bigger than his head. + +"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Lily says. She claps her hands and runs to catch the bubble. She reaches out and touches it gently. Pop! The bubble bursts and leaves a wet spot on her hand. + +Lily giggles and makes another bubble. She blows softly and the bubble is small and cute. She holds it close to her face and smiles. "Hello, bubble, you are so playful!" she says. + +The bubble wobbles and bounces on her nose. It tickles her and makes her sneeze. Achoo! The bubble pops and sprays soap on her face. + +Lily laughs and wipes her eyes. She looks at Ben and sees him making more bubbles. They fly in the air and dance with the wind. Lily and Ben chase them and pop them and have fun. They love to make bubbles. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved to do stuff together. They liked to draw, play, and sing. One day, they decided to put on a show for their mom and dad. They made a stage out of chairs and blankets, and found some costumes and props in their toy box. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asked, holding a toy guitar. + +"Yes, Tom, I am ready," Lily said, wearing a princess dress and a crown. "Let's start the show!" + +They walked onto the stage and smiled at their mom and dad, who were sitting on the couch. They sang a song they made up, about a dragon and a fairy who were friends. They danced and jumped and made funny faces. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom and dad watched and listened with big eyes and ears. They thought Tom and Lily were amazing. When the song was over, they clapped their hands and cheered. They applauded very loud. + +"Wow, that was a great show!" mom said. "You two are very talented and creative!" + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said, bowing and waving. "We are happy you liked it!" + +They ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They felt proud and happy. They loved to do stuff together. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of blocks, cars, dolls and animals. They liked to make different things with their toys and pretend they were on adventures. + +One day, they decided to make a train with their blocks and cars. They put the blocks together to make the tracks and the cars to make the wagons. They also found a chain in the box and used it to connect the cars. They were very proud of their train and wanted to show it to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at our train!" they shouted, pulling the chain. "We made it with our toys. It is very powerful and can go very fast." + +Mom came to see their train and smiled. She was happy to see them having fun. She praised their creativity and asked them if they wanted to ride on their train. + +"Yes, yes, we want to ride on our train!" they said, jumping up and down. They ran to the first car and tried to fit inside. But the car was too small for them. They tried the second car and the third car, but they were also too small. They looked at each other and felt sad. How could they ride on their train if they did not fit? + +"Don't be sad, my loves," mom said, hugging them. "Your train is very beautiful and powerful, but it is not made for you. It is made for your dolls and animals. Why don't you put them in the cars and pretend they are going on a trip? You can be the drivers and the passengers and make up stories about where they are going." + +Lily and Tom liked mom's idea. They quickly got their dolls and animals and put them in the cars. They made sure they fit well and were comfortable. Then they took the chain and pulled the train along the tracks. They made noises like a train and talked to their dolls and animals. They had a lot of fun and forgot about their sadness. They were happy with their train and their toys. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lila said. + +They crawled into the hole. It was dark and dirty. They saw many shiny things. They were gems. They were red, blue, green, and yellow. + +"Wow, look at these gems!" Lila said. "They are so pretty!" + +"I want them!" Tom said. "Let's take them home!" + +They each grabbed a handful of gems. They were happy. They tried to crawl out of the hole. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It was a big, scary monster. It had sharp teeth and claws. It lived in the hole. It did not like people taking its gems. + +"Who are you?" the monster said. "Why are you stealing my gems?" + +"We are sorry, Mr. Monster!" Lila said. "We did not know they were yours!" + +"Too late!" the monster said. "You have to pay for your mistake!" + +The monster looked at Lila and Tom. It had to choose one of them to eat. It smelled them. Lila smelled sweet and nice. Tom smelled disgusting. He had mud and worms on his clothes. + +The monster chose Tom. It opened its mouth and bit him. Tom screamed. Lila cried. The monster swallowed Tom. It was happy. It had a tasty snack. + +Lila was alone and scared. She dropped her gems. She tried to run away. But the monster was faster. It caught her. It was still hungry. It ate her too. It was very happy. It had a big meal. + +The hole was quiet. The gems were still there. Nobody came to take them. The monster slept. It had a bad dream. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a shiny red bike in her neighbor's yard. She wanted to try it, but she knew it was not hers. She thought of a plan. She would borrow the bike for a little while and bring it back before anyone noticed. It would be her secret. + +She waited until her neighbor went inside his house. Then she ran to the bike and climbed on it. She felt happy as she pedaled around the yard. She pretended she was a racer, going fast and making turns. She did not see her neighbor's dog, who was sleeping under a tree. + +The dog woke up and saw Lily on the bike. He did not like strangers in his yard. He barked and ran after her. Lily was scared. She tried to pedal faster, but the bike was too big for her. She lost her balance and fell off. The bike crashed into the fence and made a loud noise. + +Her neighbor heard the noise and came out. He saw Lily on the ground, the dog barking, and his bike broken. He was angry. He shouted, "What are you doing with my bike? You can't just take it without asking!" + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to break the bike. She said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to borrow it for a little while. It was my secret. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her neighbor sighed. He said, "You can't borrow things without permission. That's not nice. And you can't keep secrets like that. That's not safe. You could have hurt yourself or the bike. Next time, if you want to try something, you have to ask first. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand. I won't do it again. I'm sorry." + +Her neighbor said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to help me fix the bike. And you have to tell your mom what you did. No more secrets, okay?" + +Lily agreed. She said, "Okay. Thank you for forgiving me. And thank you for letting me try your bike. It was fun." + +Her neighbor smiled. He said, "You're welcome. Maybe next time, I can teach you how to ride it properly. But only if you ask first." + +Lily smiled back. She said, "Okay. I will ask first. And maybe you can try my scooter too. It's fun too." + +They walked to Lily's house, holding the bike and the scooter. They were not strangers anymore. They were friends. +Lily liked to draw. She had many colors to use. She drew a big house with a door and a window. She drew a sun and a cloud in the sky. She drew a tree and a cat near the house. She was happy with her picture. + +She wanted to add something more. She looked at her colors. She saw a red one. She liked red. She decided to draw a rose. She drew a stem and a circle. She drew some petals around the circle. She drew a leaf on the stem. She was proud of her rose. + +She showed her picture to her mom. Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "What a beautiful picture, Lily! I love your rose. It is very special." + +Lily asked, "Why is it special, mom?" + +Her mom said, "Because roses are not normal. They are rare and precious. They need a lot of care and love to grow. They are like you, Lily. You are not normal. You are rare and precious. You need a lot of care and love to grow. You are my rose, Lily." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You are my rose, too." + +The moral value of the story is: Everyone is unique and valuable. We should appreciate and love ourselves and others. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to make a cake for their mommies. They found some flour, eggs, milk, sugar and chocolate in the kitchen. They mixed everything in a big bowl and poured it into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and waited. + +"Mommy will be so happy when she sees our cake!" Lily said. + +"Yes, she will!" Tom agreed. "She will say we are very good and give us a big hug." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were very proud of their cake. + +But then they heard a loud beep. It was the oven. They ran to the oven and opened it. Smoke came out and they coughed. They looked at their cake. It was black and hard and smelled bad. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our cake is spoiled! We did something wrong!" + +Tom was sad too. He wanted to make his mommy happy, not sad. He looked at the oven and saw a number. It said 450. + +"Maybe we put the oven too hot," he said. "Maybe we should have put it lower." + +They felt very sorry. They took out the pan and put it on the table. They did not know what to do. + +Just then, their mommies came home. They smelled the smoke and saw the cake. They were surprised and worried. + +"What happened here?" Lily's mommy asked. + +"We tried to make you a cake, but we spoiled it," Lily said. "We are very sorry." + +Tom's mommy looked at them. She saw their sad faces and their dirty clothes. She also saw their big bowl and their messy kitchen. She understood what they did. + +She smiled and hugged them. "You are very sweet to make us a cake," she said. "But you should not use the oven by yourselves. It is dangerous. You could get hurt." + +Lily's mommy nodded. She also hugged them. "We appreciate your effort, but next time, please ask us for help," she said. "We can make a cake together. It will be more fun and safe." + +Tom and Lily felt better. They hugged their mommies back. They were glad their mommies were not angry. They were glad their mommies still loved them. + +"Thank you for your welcome, mommy," Tom said. + +"Thank you for your welcome, mommy," Lily said. + +Their mommies smiled. They thought their children were very attractive and cute. They were happy to have them. They decided to order some pizza and watch a movie together. They had a nice evening. They forgot about the spoiled cake. +Tom and Amy are playing with blocks. They are making a big tower with many colors. Tom likes blue blocks and Amy likes red blocks. They take turns to put blocks on the tower. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is very nice. But we need to finish it soon. Mom will call us for lunch," Amy says. + +They put more blocks on the tower. They try to make it straight and strong. They are happy with their work. + +"Let's put a symbol on top of the tower. What symbol do you want?" Tom asks. + +"A symbol is a shape or a picture that means something. Like a star or a heart or a letter," Amy explains. + +"I want a star. A star is bright and pretty. Like the stars in the sky at night," Tom says. + +"OK, a star. I have a yellow block with a star on it. Here, you can put it on top," Amy says. + +Tom takes the yellow block and puts it on top of the tower. The tower is finished. It has a star symbol on top. It looks very clean and neat. + +"Wow, our tower is amazing! We did a good job!" Tom says. + +"Yes, we did. We are good friends and good builders," Amy says. + +They hug each other and smile. They are proud of their tower. + +"Tom, Amy, lunch is ready! Come and wash your hands!" Mom calls from the kitchen. + +"OK, Mom, we are coming!" Tom and Amy say. + +They leave their tower in the playroom. They go to the bathroom and wash their hands. They are hungry and ready for lunch. They hope their tower will stay clean and safe until they come back. They love their tower. +Sara and Ben like to count the stars in the sky at night. They lie on the grass and point at the bright dots. Sara counts one, two, three, four, five. Ben counts one, two, three, four, five, six. He says he sees more stars than Sara. Sara says no, they see the same stars. They start to argue. + +Mom hears them and comes outside. She tells them to be quiet and not fight. She says the stars are too many to count. She says they are all beautiful and they can share them. She says they can make a wish on a star and it might come true. + +Sara and Ben stop arguing and look at the sky. They see a big star that shines more than the others. They close their eyes and make a wish. They wish to be friends and have fun. They open their eyes and smile at each other. They hug Mom and say thank you. They go back to counting the stars in the sky, but this time they count together. +Tom and Anna are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books on the floor. Mom comes in and says, "Tom and Anna, it is time to clean up. We have guests coming soon." + +Tom and Anna do not want to clean up. They want to keep playing. They say, "No, Mom, we are having fun. We do not want to clean up." + +Mom says, "You have to clean up, or you will not get any dessert. And you have to be careful with the iron. It is very hot and can hurt you." + +Tom and Anna do not like dessert. They like candy. They say, "We do not care about dessert. We want candy. And we do not touch the iron. It is boring." + +Mom says, "No candy for you, then. And the iron is not boring. It is incredible. It can make clothes smooth and nice. Look, I will show you." + +Mom takes a shirt and puts it on the board. She plugs in the iron and waits for it to get hot. Then she moves the iron over the shirt. The shirt becomes smooth and nice. Tom and Anna watch Mom. They are curious. They say, "Wow, Mom, that is incredible. How do you do that?" + +Mom says, "It is easy. You just have to be careful and follow the rules. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Anna nod. They want to try. Mom says, "OK, but you have to clean up first. Then you can take turns with the iron. Deal?" + +Tom and Anna agree. They clean up their toys and books. They put them in the box and on the shelf. Then they take turns with the iron. Mom helps them. They make clothes smooth and nice. They have fun. They say, "Thank you, Mom, for showing us the incredible iron. We are sorry for being naughty. Can we have some dessert now?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can have some dessert. You did a good job. I am proud of you. And you are welcome. I am glad you like the iron. It is a useful tool. But remember, always be careful with it. It is very hot and can hurt you." + +Tom and Anna say, "OK, Mom, we will remember. We love you. And we love the iron." +Lily and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many insects there. They see ants, bees, ladybugs and butterflies. Lily and Ben think insects are fun and pretty. + +One day, they find a big snail on a leaf. The snail has a brown shell and a long body. It moves very slowly. Lily and Ben want to race with the snail. + +"Let's see who is faster, us or the snail!" Lily says. + +"OK, let's go!" Ben says. + +They put the snail on the ground and run to the other side of the garden. They look back and see the snail still on the same spot. + +"We win, we win!" Lily and Ben shout. + +They run back to the snail and pick it up. They want to play with it some more. But the snail does not like that. It hides inside its shell and does not come out. + +"Come on, snail, don't be shy!" Lily says. + +"Maybe it is scared of us," Ben says. + +"Maybe it is tired of racing," Lily says. + +They put the snail back on the leaf and wait for it to come out. But the snail does not come out. It stays inside its shell. + +A butterfly flies by and lands on the leaf. It sees the snail and the children. + +"Hello, snail, hello, children," the butterfly says. + +"Hello, butterfly," Lily and Ben say. + +"Why is the snail hiding?" Lily asks. + +"Because the snail is wise," the butterfly says. + +"Why is the snail wise?" Ben asks. + +"Because the snail knows that racing is not important," the butterfly says. "The snail knows that being happy and safe is important. The snail knows that being slow is not bad. The snail knows that being different is not bad. The snail is wise and happy." + +Lily and Ben think about what the butterfly says. They look at the snail and the butterfly. They see that they are both beautiful and special. + +"Maybe you are right, butterfly," Lily says. + +"Maybe we are sorry, snail," Ben says. + +They say goodbye to the snail and the butterfly. They go to play with other insects. They do not race with them. They watch them and learn from them. They are happy and wise too. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They have a big track with ramps and loops. They like to make their cars go fast and do tricks. + +"Look, Anna, I can make my car snap the loop!" Ben says, as he pushes his red car hard on the track. The car zooms around the loop and lands on the other side. + +"Wow, Ben, that was cool!" Anna says, clapping her hands. She has a yellow car with stickers on it. She tries to make her car snap the loop too, but it falls off halfway. + +"Oh no, Anna, your car fell!" Ben says, running to help her. He picks up her car and checks if it is okay. + +"It's okay, Ben, my car is fine. Thank you for helping me," Anna says, smiling. She gives him a hug. + +They are both very kind and adorable. They share their cars and take turns on the track. They have a lot of fun playing together. +Sara loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night.

But they did not see the big sign that said "yield". The sign was for the cars that drove on the road next to the park. + +"Look, Lily, a ball!" Ben said. He saw a red ball that rolled out of the park and onto the road. He wanted to get it. He ran after the ball. He did not look at the sign or the cars. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily shouted. She saw a big car that was coming fast. The car did not see Ben or the ball. The car did not stop or slow down. The car hit Ben and the ball.

It is a big house where people sing and pray. + +"This church is different from the one you know," the lady says. "This church is very old.

They realized they did a bad thing. + +"We did it, Mom," Tim said. + +"We wanted to play a trick on you," Jen said. + +"Why did you do that?" Mom asked. + +"Because the freezer was empty. There was no ice cream," Tim said. + +"That's no reason to play a trick on me. That's mean and rude. You should not waste food and make a mess. You should be kind and respectful. And you should wash your hands before you touch anything in the kitchen," Mom said. + +Tim and Jen were sorry. They said they were sorry. They helped Mom clean the freezer and the bowl. They washed their hands and their faces. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. + +Mom forgave them. She said she loved them too. She said she had a surprise for them. She took them to the store.

Do not run away or touch anything without asking. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom." + +They go to the market and Mom gives them each a basket.

Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom." + +They choose a balloon each. Anna picks a pink one and Ben picks a blue one. They hold their balloons tight and thank the man. They are very happy. + +They walk with Mom to the next stall. But then, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown and has a bell on its collar. The dog barks and runs fast. Anna and Ben like dogs. They want to pet the dog. They forget about their balloons and drop their baskets. They run after the dog. + +Mom sees them and shouts, "Anna! Ben! Stop! Come back!" + +But Anna and Ben do not hear her. They are too busy chasing the dog. The dog is faster than them. It runs away from them and out of the market. Anna and Ben follow it.

He saw her in the garden and he shouted at her. + +"Lily, what are you doing here? How dare you leave the castle without permission? You are a princess, not a wild child! Come back here at once!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to leave the garden and the bird and the animals. She did not want to go back to the castle and be bored and be good. She looked at the bird and the bird looked at her. + +"Goodbye, friend," the bird said. "I hope you will come back and play with me again." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She hugged the bird and thanked it for showing her something fun. She waved goodbye to the animals and the flowers and the trees. She ran back to the castle and followed her father.

Lily wears a mask and a scarf. + +"Stop, robber! You are bad!" Ben shouts. He points his toy gun at Lily. + +"No, you stop, cowboy! You are silly!" Lily shouts back. She points her toy gun at Ben. + +They run and hide behind trees and benches. They shoot at each other with loud noises. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" + +They have fun for a long time. They laugh and giggle. + +After a minute, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She calls them from the car. + +"Ben! Lily! Time to go home!" + +They stop playing and run to the car. They put their toy guns in their backpacks. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, mom! We had a great time!" Ben and Lily say. + +They hug mom and get in the car. They wave goodbye to the park. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They look inside and see something shiny. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It is gold!" + +"Can we take some?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Tom says. "Maybe we can buy candy with it." + +They take some gold and put it in their pockets. Then they run to the candy store. They show the gold to the man. + +"Where did you get this?" the man asks. + +"We found it in the park," Tom says. + +"This is not gold," the man says. "This is fool's gold. It is not worth anything. It is just rocks." + +Tom and Mia are sad. They thought they were rich. They want to eat candy, but they have no money. + +"Maybe we can eat the gold," Mia says. "It looks yummy." + +"No, don't do that!" the man says. "It is bad for you. It can make you sick and dizzy." + +But Mia does not listen. She puts a piece of gold in her mouth and bites it. It is hard and bitter. She spits it out and makes a face. + +"Yuck, this is not candy!" she says. "This is icky!" + +She feels dizzy and falls down. Tom is scared. He calls for help. + +"Help, help, my friend is sick!" he shouts. + +The man comes and sees Mia. He calls an ambulance. He tells Tom to stay with Mia and not to eat any more gold. + +Tom is sorry. He wishes he did not take the gold. He wishes he listened to the man. He hopes Mia will be okay. He hugs her and says he is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," he says. "I'm sorry we were fools." +Tom and Mia wanted to make a cake with Mom. They helped Mom get the eggs, the flour, the sugar and the butter. Mom said they needed to squeeze the lemons too. She gave Tom and Mia a lemon each and a bowl. + +"Can you squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl?" Mom asked. + +Tom and Mia nodded and tried to squeeze the lemons. They made funny faces as they felt the sour juice on their fingers. They squeezed and squeezed until the lemons were empty. + +"Good job!" Mom said. "Now we need to mix everything together. Can you help me with the mixer?" + +Tom and Mia ran to the mixer. It was a big machine with a bowl and a whisk. Mom put the eggs, the flour, the sugar, the butter and the lemon juice in the bowl. She turned on the mixer and it made a loud noise. + +"Wow!" Tom and Mia said. "It looks like a tornado!" + +Mom laughed and said, "It's not a tornado, it's a cake batter. We need to mix it well so it's smooth and fluffy. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Mia nodded and Mom lifted them up to see the bowl. The batter was yellow and creamy. It smelled good too. + +"Can we taste it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but just a little bit. It's not ready yet. We need to bake it in the oven first." Mom said. She gave Tom and Mia a spoon each and let them taste the batter. It was sweet and tangy. + +"Mmm, it's yummy!" Mia said. + +"It's cool!" Tom said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. Now let's put it in the pan and in the oven. Then we can wait for our cake to be done. Do you want to help me?" + +Tom and Mia nodded and followed Mom to the oven. They were excited to see their cake. They hoped it would be cool too. +Anna and her mom went to the store. Anna wanted to buy a new toy, but mom said no. Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to walk anymore. She felt tired. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Anna asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to buy some food and clothes first. Then we can go home and rest," mom said. + +Anna did not like that. She saw a big, shiny purse on a shelf. It was pink and had flowers on it. Anna liked pink and flowers. She wanted the purse. She took it from the shelf and hid it under her coat. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" mom asked. + +"Nothing, mom. I'm just cold," Anna lied. + +Mom did not believe her. She saw the purse under Anna's coat. She was angry and disappointed. She took the purse from Anna and put it back on the shelf. + +"Anna, that is not yours. You cannot take things that are not yours. That is wrong. You have to say sorry," mom said. + +Anna felt ashamed. She knew she did something bad. She did not want to make mom angry. She said sorry to mom and to the store lady. + +"Sorry, mom. Sorry, lady. I won't do it again," Anna said. + +Mom hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. But you have to be honest and respectful. Taking things that are not yours is stealing. Stealing is bad. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She understood. She felt sorry and sad. She wanted to make mom happy. + +"Can we go home now, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, we can go home now. But first, let's buy you a small toy. You can choose one. But only one. And you have to pay for it with your own money. Do you agree?" mom asked. + +Anna smiled. She agreed. She felt happy and grateful. She chose a small doll. She paid for it with her own money. She thanked mom and the store lady. + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, lady. I like my doll. She is pretty. Can I name her Lily?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you can. Lily is a nice name. I'm proud of you, Anna. You learned a good lesson today. Now let's go home and play with Lily. You must be tired," mom said. + +Anna nodded. She was tired. But she was also happy. She held mom's hand and Lily's hand. She felt loved and safe. She learned a good lesson today. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big spider on a web. Lily is scared of the spider. She runs to Ben and says, "Help! There is a spider! It is big and scary!" + +Ben is not scared of the spider. He is curious. He walks to the web and looks at the spider. He says, "The spider is not scary. It is strong and clever. It can make a web and catch bugs. Do you want to see?" + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to see the spider. She says, "No, thank you. I do not like spiders. They have too many legs and eyes. They are creepy." + +Ben says, "That is okay. You do not have to like spiders. But you do not have to be scared of them either. They will not hurt you. They are just living in the garden. They are part of nature. Can I tell you a story about spiders?" + +Lily nods. She likes stories. She says, "Yes, please. Tell me a story about spiders. Maybe I will feel better." + +Ben smiles. He says, "Okay. Listen. Once upon a time, there was a spider who wanted to be a friend of a bird. He thought the bird was beautiful and graceful. He wanted to fly with the bird and sing with the bird. But the bird did not like the spider. He thought the spider was ugly and creepy. He did not want to be a friend of the spider. He wanted to eat the spider. One day, the bird saw the spider on his web and said, 'Hello, spider. You look tasty. Can I have a bite?' The spider was scared. He said, 'No, please. Do not eat me. I want to be your friend. I can show you how to make a web and catch bugs. It is fun and useful.' The bird laughed. He said, 'A web? Bugs? That is not fun or useful. That is boring and gross. I do not need a web or bugs. I have wings and seeds. I do not want to be your friend. I want to be your lunch.' He flew to the web and tried to grab the spider. But the spider was strong and clever. He jumped out of the web and ran away. He said, 'You are mean and rude. You do not deserve a friend. You deserve a trap.' He made a new web that looked like a bird's nest. He put some seeds on the web. He waited for the bird to come back. The bird saw the web and the seeds. He said, 'Oh, look. A nest and some seeds. How nice. Maybe the spider is not so bad after all. Maybe he wants to share his food with me. Maybe he wants to be my friend.' He flew to the web and tried to eat the seeds. But the seeds were sticky and the web was strong. The bird got stuck on the web. He could not fly or sing. He said, 'Help! Help! I am trapped! Let me go! Let me go!' The spider came back and said, 'Too late. You are trapped. You should have been nice to me. You should have been my friend. Now you are my lunch.' He wrapped the bird in silk and ate him. The end." + +Lily claps her hands. She says, "Wow. That was a good story. The spider was strong and clever. He tricked the bird. He taught the bird a lesson. The bird was mean and rude. He deserved to be eaten. I like the spider. He is not scary. He is cool." + +Ben says, "Thank you. I am glad you liked the story. I am glad you like the spider. He is not scary. He is cool. Do you want to see the spider now?" + +Lily says, "Yes, please. Let's go see the spider. Maybe he will be our friend. Maybe he will tell us more stories." They hold hands and walk to the web. They say hello to the spider. The spider says hello to them. They become friends. They have fun. They learn from each other. They are happy. +Lia and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box of toys. Lia likes to measure things with a ruler. Tom likes to pretend he is a hunter with a spear. + +"Look, Lia, I have a spear. I can hunt animals with it," Tom says. He holds a stick with a pointy end. + +"That is not a spear, Tom. That is a stick. A spear is longer and sharper," Lia says. She measures the stick with her ruler. "See, your stick is only ten inches. A spear is much more." + +"How do you know, Lia? Have you seen a spear before?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I have. Daddy showed me a picture of a spear in a book. It was very big and shiny. He said people used spears a long time ago, when there were no guns or cars," Lia says. + +"Wow, that sounds cool. Can we see the book, Lia?" Tom says. + +"Okay, come on. Let's go inside and find the book. Maybe we can learn more about spears and hunters," Lia says. + +They leave the box of toys and run inside the house. They are very lively and curious. They want to see the book with the spear. +Jill and Ben were playing with their plastic toys in the living room. Jill had a plastic doll and Ben had a plastic car. They were having fun making noises and moving their toys around. + +But then Ben saw Jill's doll and wanted to play with it. He said, "Give me your doll, Jill. It is pretty and I like it." Jill said, "No, Ben. This is my doll. You have your car. Go away." Ben did not listen. He tried to grab the doll from Jill's hands. + +Jill and Ben started to fight over the doll. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They made a big mess in the living room. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She was not happy. + +She said, "Stop fighting, Jill and Ben. You are being naughty and rude. You have to share your toys and be nice to each other. If you don't, I will take away your toys and you will have no fun." + +Jill and Ben did not want to lose their toys. They said, "Sorry, mom. We will share and be nice." Mom said, "Good. Now, come with me to the kitchen. I have made some yummy cookies for you. You can have one each if you behave." + +Jill and Ben followed their mom to the kitchen. They saw the cookies on the table. They smelled good and looked good. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." They took a cookie each and ate it. They smiled and hugged their mom. They forgot about their fight and enjoyed their snack. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They are curious. They want to see what is inside. + +They hop to the box and open it. They see many bottles of juice. They are happy. They love juice. They take two bottles and drink them. The juice is unusual. It is not sweet or sour. It is fizzy and spicy. + +"Wow, this juice is strange!" Anna says. "It makes my mouth tingle." + +"Me too!" Ben says. "It makes me feel funny." + +They start to laugh. They laugh so hard that they fall on the grass. They feel dizzy and silly. They see the sky spinning. They see the clouds changing shapes. They see a rainbow with many colors. + +They hear a voice from the box. It is a man. He sounds angry. + +"Hey, you kids! That's not juice! That's my magic potion! Give it back!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the bottles and run away. They hop to the slide and slide down. They hop to the swings and swing high. They hop to the fence and climb over. They hop to their homes and hide. + +They never drink unusual juice again. They only drink water or milk. They still like to play in the park. But they stay away from big boxes. They don't want to meet the man with the magic potion. He is not nice. He is mean. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it is cold and windy. Tom wears a blue sweater. Mia wears a pink sweater. + +"Look at my sweater!" Tom says. "It is big and warm. It can stretch a lot. It is a powerful sweater!" + +"No, it is not!" Mia says. "My sweater is better. It is soft and pretty. It has a flower on it. It is a powerful sweater!" + +Tom and Mia start to pull each other's sweaters. They want to show who has the best sweater. They pull and pull. They do not see the dog. + +The dog is big and brown. It likes to chase things. It sees Tom and Mia's sweaters. They look like toys. The dog runs to them. It barks and jumps. It grabs Tom's sweater with its teeth. It pulls and pulls. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom shouts. "That is my sweater! Let go!" + +Mia sees the dog. She is scared. She lets go of Tom's sweater. She runs to the bench. She calls for help. + +"Help! Help! There is a dog! It is taking Tom's sweater!" + +A man hears Mia. He is the dog's owner. He runs to the park. He sees the dog and Tom. He whistles and calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! Drop it! Bad dog!" + +The dog hears the man. It drops Tom's sweater. It runs to the man. The man puts a leash on the dog. He says sorry to Tom. + +"I'm sorry, kid. He didn't mean to hurt you. He thought your sweater was a toy. Are you okay?" + +Tom looks at his sweater. It is torn and dirty. He is sad and angry. He says to the man. + +"No, I'm not okay. Your dog ruined my sweater. It was a powerful sweater. Now it is a bad sweater." + +The man feels bad. He says to Tom. + +"I'm sorry, kid. I'll buy you a new sweater. What color do you want?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He looks at Mia. She is still on the bench. She is holding her sweater. She is crying. Tom feels sorry for Mia. He says to the man. + +"Can you buy two sweaters? One for me and one for Mia. We are friends. We both want powerful sweaters." + +The man smiles. He says to Tom. + +"Sure, kid. That's very nice of you. What colors do you want?" + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They say together. + +"Blue and pink!" +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go to church with their mom and dad. They liked to sing songs, listen to stories, and draw pictures. But sometimes they also liked to tease each other and make noise. + +One Sunday, Lily and Ben were sitting in the back row of the church. Lily had a red crayon and Ben had a blue one. They were drawing on their papers, but they also wanted to see what the other was drawing. + +"Let me see your picture, Lily," Ben said. + +"No, it's mine. You can't see it," Lily said. + +"Please, Lily. I just want to look," Ben said. + +He tried to grab Lily's paper, but she pulled it away. She stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah." + +Ben was angry. He wanted to tease Lily back. He looked around and saw a big hat on the head of a lady in front of them. The hat had feathers and flowers on it. Ben thought it was funny. He reached out and touched the hat with his blue crayon. He made a blue mark on the hat. + +"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," Ben laughed. + +Lily saw what Ben did. She gasped. She knew it was bad to touch other people's things. She tried to stop Ben, but he was persistent. He touched the hat again and again, making more blue marks. + +"Ben, stop it! You're being naughty!" Lily whispered. + +But Ben didn't listen. He thought it was fun to tease the lady with the hat. He didn't notice that the lady was turning around. She saw Ben's hand on her hat. She saw the blue marks on her hat. She was very angry. + +"Hey, you little rascal! What are you doing to my hat?" the lady shouted. + +She grabbed Ben's hand and took his crayon. She glared at him and Lily. She made a loud noise that everyone in the church heard. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They felt sorry for what they did. They looked at their mom and dad. Their mom and dad were embarrassed. They apologized to the lady and took Lily and Ben out of the church. They told them they had to go home and not come back until they learned to behave. + +Lily and Ben cried. They wished they hadn't teased the lady with the hat. They wished they had been quiet and nice. They learned their lesson. They never teased anyone in the church again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and look for bugs. They saw a big frog near the pond. It was green and shiny and had spots on its back. + +"Look, a frog!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and make it our pet!" + +Lily nodded. She liked frogs. They were funny and wet and made noises. She ran after the frog and tried to grab it. But the frog was fast and jumped away. + +"Come back, frog!" Lily shouted. "We want to play with you!" + +The frog jumped into the pond and hid under a leaf. Tom and Lily followed it. They lay on their bellies and reached into the water. They felt something slimy and cold. + +"Got it!" Tom said. He pulled out the frog and held it in his hands. He smiled and showed it to Lily. + +Lily looked at the frog. She saw that it was not green and shiny and spotted. It was pale and dull and had red stripes. She felt scared. + +"Tom, that's not a frog!" she said. "That's a poison frog! It can make you sick!" + +Tom looked at the frog. He saw that Lily was right. He felt scared too. He dropped the frog and wiped his hands on his shirt. + +"Poison frog?" he said. "Oh no! What do we do?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom had told her. She said, "We have to wash our hands with soap and water. And we have to tell mom what happened. She can help us." + +Tom nodded. He said, "Okay. Let's go. And let's leave the poison frog alone. It's not a good pet." + +They ran to the house and washed their hands. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and checked them for signs of sickness. She said, "You're very brave and smart, Tom and Lily. You did the right thing. But next time, be careful what you touch in the garden. Some animals are not friendly." + +Tom and Lily said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't touch poison frogs again. We love you." + +They learned their lesson and never bothered the poison frog again. They played with other animals that were safe and fun. They had a happy and healthy garden. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they saw a big purple ball in the grass. It was shiny and round and soft. + +"Wow, look at that ball!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's go get it!" Ben said. They ran to the ball and picked it up. It was heavy, but they could carry it together. + +They bounced the ball and threw it and rolled it. They had a lot of fun. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". + +A man came out of a house. He was angry. He saw Lily and Ben with his ball. He shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! That's my ball! Give it back to me right now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know the man. They did not know the ball was his. They dropped the ball and ran away. + +But the ball was too big. It rolled after them. It was faster than they were. It caught up with them and hit them. They fell down and hurt themselves. They cried and cried. + +The man came and took his ball. He did not help them. He did not say sorry. He went back to his house. + +Lily and Ben were sad and sore. They wished they never saw the purple ball. They learned a hard lesson. They should not touch things that are not theirs. +Lily liked to cook with her mom. She had a small pan that was just for her. She would put water and salt and sugar in it and stir it with a spoon. She would pretend it was soup or tea or cake. + +One day, Lily saw a big pan on the stove. It was shiny and red and had a lid. Lily wanted to see what was inside. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pan. But the pan was very hot and heavy. Lily burned her hand and dropped the pan. It made a loud noise and spilled something sticky and brown all over the floor. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and the mess on the floor. She was angry and scared. She picked up Lily and checked her hand. It was red and sore. She put some ice on it and hugged her. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. "You know you are not supposed to touch the big pan. It is for mom only. It has sauce in it for dinner. Now the sauce is gone and the floor is dirty." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I wanted to see what was in the pan. I thought it was cake. I like cake." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. She had worked hard to make the sauce. She wanted to surprise Dad with his favorite meal. He had been working a lot and was very thin. She wanted him to gain some weight and be happy. + +"It's okay, Lily," Mom said. "I know you like cake. But you have to be careful. The big pan is not for you. It is dangerous. You could get hurt or make a mess. You have your own pan. You can use that to make your own cake. How about we do that together? We can make a cake for Dad and for us. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She felt better. She liked to cook with her mom. She wanted to make a cake for Dad. She wanted him to be happy. She said sorry to the pan and the sauce. She helped Mom clean the floor. Then they went to the pantry and got some flour and eggs and butter and sugar. They mixed them in a bowl and poured them in Lily's pan. They put it in the oven and waited for it to bake. They smelled the cake and smiled. They hoped Dad would like it too. +Lily and Max were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far. The water was cold and made big waves that crashed on the shore. + +One day, they saw a dolphin jumping out of the water. It was gray and shiny and had a long nose. It made a funny sound, like a whistle. Lily and Max clapped their hands and shouted, "Look, mom, dad, a dolphin!" + +The dolphin heard them and came closer. It looked at them with its black eyes and smiled. It seemed to say, "Hello, little ones, do you want to play with me?" Lily and Max nodded and smiled back. They wanted to be friends with the dolphin. + +The dolphin swam around them, making circles and splashes. It was very fast and graceful. It let Lily and Max touch its smooth skin and rub its nose. It was very gentle and friendly. Lily and Max felt happy and safe with the dolphin. + +The dolphin played with them for a while, then it said, "I have to go now, my family is waiting for me. But I will come back and see you again. Goodbye, little ones, you are very nice." It waved its tail and jumped out of the water one last time. Lily and Max waved their hands and said, "Goodbye, dolphin, thank you for playing with us. You are very nice too. We will miss you." + +Lily and Max hugged their mom and dad and told them about their new friend. They said, "The dolphin belongs to the sea, but it also belongs to our hearts. We love the dolphin." Mom and dad smiled and said, "We love the dolphin too. And we love you very much. You belong to our family, and we belong to each other." They all hugged and kissed and watched the sun set over the water. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They have a big box of cars, but they always want the same ones. Ben likes the red car with the shiny handle, and Mia likes the blue car with the loud horn. + +"Give me the red car, Ben!" Mia says. "It is my turn!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "You had it before!" + +They start to pull the car from each other, and the handle breaks off. They both gasp and drop the car. + +"Oh no!" Mia says. "We broke the car!" + +"What will we do?" Ben says. "Mom will be mad!" + +They look at the broken handle and the car. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Mia says. "We can use some tape or glue." + +Ben shakes his head. "That will not work. The handle is too small and the car is too big." + +He thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. + +"I know!" he says. "We can suggest to Mom that we give the car to the baby. He likes to chew on things. He will not care if the handle is broken. He will think it is incredible!" + +Mia thinks about it. She nods. + +"That is a good idea, Ben," she says. "Let's do that. Maybe Mom will not be mad then." + +They pick up the car and the handle and run to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. They hope she will like their suggestion. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them roll on the floor and make noises. "Vroom, vroom!" Tom said. "Beep, beep!" Lily said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud sound outside. It was the wind. It was blowing very hard and making the trees and the roof shake. They saw the sky was dark and scary. They were afraid. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is a hurricane," Tom said. He had learned that word from his dad. "It is a big storm that can break things and hurt people. We have to stay inside and be safe." + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged them and told them not to worry. She said they had a strong house and enough food and water. She said they would wait until the hurricane was over. + +They sat on the couch and watched the TV. The TV showed pictures of the hurricane and how it was moving. They saw other places that were damaged by the wind and the rain. They felt sad for the people and the animals there. + +After a long time, the wind became quieter and the sky became lighter. They looked out the window and saw the sun was shining. The hurricane was gone. + +"Look, the sky is clear!" Lily said. + +"Yay, we are okay!" Tom said. + +They hugged their mom and thanked her for taking care of them. They were happy and relieved. They decided to play with their toy cars again, but this time they pretended they were helping the people and the animals who were hurt by the hurricane. They rolled their cars and said, "We are here to help!" +Lily was a little girl who loved to eat candy. She ate candy every day, even when her mom told her to stop. She did not like to brush her teeth, because it took too long and it tasted bad. She thought her teeth were fine, even though they were pale and had holes. + +One day, Lily had a big toothache. She cried and cried, and her mom took her to the dentist. The dentist looked at her teeth and shook his head. He said, "Lily, you have too many cavities. You need to have some of your teeth pulled out. If you don't, you will have more pain and more problems." + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to lose her teeth. She begged the dentist, "Please, please, don't pull out my teeth. I will brush them every day, I promise. I will eat less candy, I promise. Please, please, give me another chance." + +The dentist sighed and said, "Lily, I understand you are sorry, but it is too late. Your teeth are too damaged. You have to learn from your mistakes. You have to take care of your teeth, or you will regret it later. I will try to make it as painless as possible, but you have to be brave and cooperate." + +Lily nodded and tried to be brave. She felt the dentist pull out her teeth, one by one. She felt a lot of pain and blood. She cried and cried, and wished she had listened to her mom. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned that candy is not good for her teeth, and that brushing them is important. She learned that she should request less candy, and more healthy food. She learned that she should respect her mom and the dentist, and do what they say. She learned that actions have consequences, and that she should be responsible for her own health. +Tim and Jen were very hungry. They had no food at home. Their mom and dad had no money to buy food. They said they would look for work and come back soon. + +Tim and Jen saw a big store with many groceries. They saw fruits, bread, milk, and cookies. They wanted to eat them. They saw a man with a cart full of groceries. He looked rich. He had a nice coat and a shiny watch. He was talking on his phone. + +Tim and Jen followed the man. They waited until he was not looking. They took some groceries from his cart. They ran away. They found a place to hide. They ate some bread and cookies. They drank some milk. They felt happy. + +But the man saw them. He was angry. He ran after them. He caught them. He yelled at them. He took back his groceries. He called the police. He said they were thieves. + +The police came. They took Tim and Jen away. They put them in a car. They drove them to a big building. They locked them in a room. They said they would call their mom and dad. Tim and Jen were scared. They cried. They wished they had not taken the groceries. They wished they had stayed at home. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a path in the woods. They wanted to see where it went. + +"Let's go, Tom," Sue said. "Maybe we will find something fun." + +"OK, Sue," Tom said. "But we have to be back soon. Mom said not to go too far." + +They walked on the path. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. But they did not see the big sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!" + +After a while, they came to a house. It was made of candy and cake. It smelled very good. + +"Wow, look, Tom," Sue said. "A candy house! Let's eat some. I'm hungry." + +"I don't know, Sue," Tom said. "Maybe we should not. It might belong to someone." + +"Who cares?" Sue said. "It's just candy. No one will miss it. Come on, Tom. Don't be a baby." + +Sue broke off a piece of the roof and ate it. It was sweet and yummy. She broke off another piece and gave it to Tom. + +"Here, Tom. Try it. It's good." + +Tom took the piece and ate it. It was good. He forgot about Mom and the sign and the path. He ate more and more. + +But they did not see the old woman who lived in the house. She was watching them from the window. She was not nice. She was a witch. She liked to eat children. + +She opened the door and came out. She smiled at Tom and Sue. + +"Hello, my dears," she said. "What are you doing here?" + +Tom and Sue were scared. They saw her ugly face and her sharp teeth. They tried to run away. But it was too late. The witch grabbed them and took them inside. She locked them in a cage. She laughed. + +"Ha ha ha," she said. "You are my dinner. You should not have eaten my house. You should have been honest and asked first. Now you will pay." + +She lit a fire under a big pot. She filled it with water. She waited for it to boil. She was going to cook Tom and Sue and eat them. + +Tom and Sue cried. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not eaten the candy. They wished they had been honest. But it was no use. They were trapped. They were doomed. The witch was hungry. The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big crown in the attic. It was shiny and had many colors. + +"Look, Sam, I found a crown! I can be a king!" Tom said. + +"No, I want to be a king! Give me the crown!" Sam said. + +They both wanted the crown. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Stop! Stop!" their mom said. She came to the attic. She saw the crown and the boys. + +"What are you doing? This is not a toy. This is a very old and special crown. It belongs to our family. It has many stories and secrets. You cannot play with it!" she said. + +She took the crown from the boys. She was angry and sad. She put the crown in a box and locked it. + +"Go to your rooms. You are in trouble. You cannot play with anything. You have to think about what you did." she said. + +Tom and Sam went to their rooms. They were not happy. They were sorry. They wanted to say sorry to their mom and to each other. But they did not know how. + +They looked at their toys. They were all empty. They did not want to play with them. They did not have fun. They did not have a king. They only had a big problem. +Mia and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big ball and a small ball. They kicked the balls and threw the balls. They had fun. + +But then, Ben saw a patch of mud. He ran to the patch and jumped in it. He got dirty and wet. He laughed and said, "Look at me, Mia! I am a mud monster!" + +Mia did not like the mud. She did not want to get dirty and wet. She said, "No, Ben, you are not a mud monster. You are a silly boy. Come out of the mud and play with me." + +But Ben did not listen. He stayed in the mud and made more splashes. He said, "No, Mia, you are a boring girl. Come in the mud and play with me." + +Mia got grumpy. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She took the big ball and the small ball and walked away. She said, "Fine, Ben, stay in the mud. I will play by myself." + +Ben saw Mia leaving. He felt lonely and sad. He realized he was not a mud monster. He was a dirty and wet boy. He said, "Wait, Mia, don't go. I'm sorry. I want to play with you." + +But Mia did not hear him. She was too far away. She found a shady spot under a tree. She sat down and drank some water from her bottle. She felt better. + +Ben got out of the mud. He looked for Mia. He saw her under the tree. He ran to her and said, "Mia, Mia, I'm sorry. I was silly. Can we play together?" + +Mia looked at Ben. He was still dirty and wet. She said, "Ben, you are dirty and wet. You need to clean up first. Then we can play together." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Mia, I will clean up. Can I drink some water too? I am thirsty." + +Mia smiled. She said, "Sure, Ben, you can drink some water. Here, take my bottle." + +Ben took the bottle and drank some water. He felt better too. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend." + +Mia said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Now let's go and play with the balls." + +They got up and ran to the balls. They kicked the balls and threw the balls. They had fun again. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big crystal ball that their grandma gave them. The crystal ball was shiny and sparkly, and they could see many colors inside it. + +One day, Anna and Ben had a fight over the crystal ball. Anna wanted to hold it, but Ben did not want to share. He pulled the ball from Anna's hands and ran away. Anna was angry and chased him. They ran around the room, shouting and pushing each other. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the crystal ball. She was not happy. "You are being very naughty and selfish. You should share your toys and be kind to each other. Give me the crystal ball. You are both punished. No more playing today. Go to your beds and think about what you did." + +Anna and Ben felt sad and sorry. They gave the crystal ball to their mom and went to their beds. They did not like being punished. They missed playing with the crystal ball and with each other. + +After a while, Anna and Ben got bored and lonely. They realized that they were wrong to fight over the crystal ball. They wanted to make up and be friends again. They got out of their beds and went to each other's bed. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was mean to you. I should have shared the crystal ball with you. You are my sister and I love you." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben. I was angry at you. I should have been patient and waited for my turn. You are my brother and I love you." Anna said. + +They hugged and smiled. They felt glad and happy. They decided to go to their mom and say sorry to her, too. They hoped she would forgive them and let them play with the crystal ball again. + +Their mom heard them coming and saw their faces. She knew they were sorry and learned their lesson. She was proud of them and hugged them. She said, "I forgive you, Anna and Ben. You are good children. You can play with the crystal ball again, but only if you promise to share and be kind to each other." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We promise, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +They took the crystal ball and went back to their room. They played with it together, taking turns and complimenting each other. They had fun and laughed. They were glad they made up and were friends again. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Fighting is bad. Saying sorry is good. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and climb on the equipment. They notice a big dog running towards them. The dog has sharp teeth and loud barks. It looks fierce. + +"Tim, look! A dog!" Mia says, pointing at the dog. + +"Let's go away!" Tim says, grabbing Mia's hand. They run to the other side of the park, where there is a fence. They hope the dog will not follow them. + +But the dog is fast and jumps over the fence. It runs after Tim and Mia, who are very scared. They scream for help. + +"Hey, stop!" a voice says. It is a man with a leash. He is the dog's owner. He catches the dog and holds it back. "I'm sorry, kids. He is not fierce, he just wants to play. He escaped from his collar. Are you okay?" + +Tim and Mia are still shaking, but they nod. They are glad the man came. They do not want to play with the dog. + +"Thank you, mister," Tim says. + +"You're welcome," the man says. "Come on, boy. Let's go home." He takes the dog away. + +Tim and Mia hug each other. They are happy they are safe. They decide to play on the equipment again, but they watch out for dogs. +Tom and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big red bus. The bus has four wheels, a door, and a horn. They can make the bus go fast or slow, and make it stop or turn. + +One day, they decide to take the bus to the park. They put on their hats and coats, and ask their mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful and stay together. They say okay, and run to the door with the bus. + +The park is very lively. There are many kids and dogs and birds. Tom and Lily see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed the ducks, so they look for some bread. They find a bag of bread on a bench, and take some pieces. + +They go to the edge of the pond, and throw the bread to the ducks. The ducks are happy, and come closer to get the bread. Tom and Lily laugh and clap. They think the ducks are funny and cute. + +But then, something bad happens. The bus rolls off the bench, and dives into the pond. Tom and Lily are shocked and sad. They see the bus sink under the water, and disappear. They cry and call for their bus. + +Mom hears them, and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the bus in the pond, and hugs Tom and Lily. She says she is sorry, and that they can get a new bus. She says they have to go home now, and dry their clothes. + +Tom and Lily nod, and wipe their tears. They say goodbye to the ducks, and follow Mom. They are still sad, but they hope they can find another big red bus. They love their bus, and they will miss it. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and run on the grass. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It was brown and dirty, but it looked fun. + +"Let's go on the path!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool." + +"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to go too far." + +They held hands and walked on the path. They saw bugs and rocks and flowers. They laughed and talked. They were happy. + +Then, they came to a big fence. It had a sign that said "Keep Out". Ben wanted to see what was behind the fence. He climbed on a box and looked over. + +"Wow!" he said. "There is a big pond with ducks and fish. And a boat. And a house. And a man." + +"A man?" Lily asked. "What is he doing?" + +"He is sitting on a chair. He has a big hat and a big gun. He looks angry." + +"Angry?" Lily said. "That's not good. Maybe we should go back." + +"No, wait!" Ben said. "He is not looking at us. Maybe we can go and see the pond. It looks so nice." + +He jumped off the box and ran to the fence. He found a hole and crawled through. + +"Ben, no!" Lily said. "Come back! It's not safe!" + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the pond. He saw the ducks and the fish. He saw the boat. He wanted to go on the boat. + +He ran to the boat and got in. He grabbed a paddle and pushed the boat away from the shore. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. She followed him to the fence. She saw him in the boat. She saw the man in the hat. He saw Ben too. He got up from his chair. He grabbed his gun. He pointed it at Ben. + +"Hey, you!" he shouted. "Get off my boat! Get off my pond! Or I'll shoot!" + +Ben was scared. He dropped the paddle. He tried to get back to the shore. But it was too late. The man pulled the trigger. The gun made a loud noise. Ben fell down in the boat. He did not move. + +Lily screamed. She cried. She ran to the boat. She climbed in. She hugged Ben. She kissed him. But he did not kiss her back. He did not hug her back. He did not laugh or talk. He was gone. + +The man in the hat laughed. He said, "That's what you get for being naughty. Now get off my boat. And don't come back." + +He pushed the boat to the shore. He kicked Lily and Ben out. He threw them on the grass. He went back to his chair. He sat down. He put his hat on. He smiled. + +Lily and Ben were not best friends anymore. They were not happy anymore. They were not alive anymore. They were on the dirty path. And nobody found them. +One day, a mouse was looking for food in a big house. He saw a piece of cheese on a table. He thought it looked delicious. He wanted to eat it very much. + +But he was not alone. A cat was hiding under the table. He saw the mouse and the cheese. He wanted to catch the mouse and eat it. He waited for the mouse to come closer. + +The mouse was careful. He looked around and sniffed the air. He did not see the cat. He did not smell the cat. He thought it was safe. He ran to the table and jumped on it. He reached for the cheese. + +The cat saw his chance. He jumped out from under the table and pounced on the mouse. He opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth. + +The mouse was scared. He squeaked and tried to run away. But the cat was faster. He grabbed the mouse by the tail and held him in the air. + +"Please, please, let me go!" the mouse begged. "I don't want to be your food!" + +The cat smiled. He said, "Why should I? You look delicious. And you tried to steal my cheese. That was not nice." + +The mouse said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was hungry. I did not know it was your cheese. Please, have mercy. I have a family. I have little mice who need me." + +The cat thought for a moment. He felt sorry for the mouse. He said, "Do you promise to never come to this house again? Do you promise to never touch my cheese again?" + +The mouse nodded. He said, "Yes, yes, I promise. I will never bother you again. Please, let me go." + +The cat nodded. He said, "Okay, I will let you go. But remember your promise. If I see you again, I will not be so kind." + +The cat let go of the mouse. The mouse ran away as fast as he could. He was happy to be alive. He learned his lesson. He never came back to the big house. He never tried to eat the cat's cheese. He found other food for himself and his family. He was careful and smart. He lived happily ever after. +Lily wanted to improve her painting. She had many colors and a big paper. She painted a house, a tree, and a sun. She was happy with her painting. + +She wanted to show her painting to Mommy. She ran to the kitchen with her paper. But she did not see the sink. She tripped and fell. Her paper flew into the sink. The sink was full of water and soap. Her painting was ruined. + +Lily was frightened. She started to cry. She thought Mommy would be angry. She said, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm sorry! I made a mess!" + +Mommy heard Lily's cry. She came to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor and the sink with the paper. She was not angry. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You don't have to be sorry. I'm glad you're not hurt." + +Mommy took the paper out of the sink. She dried it with a towel. She said, "Look, Lily, your painting is still beautiful. The colors are mixed and shiny. It looks like a rainbow. You improved your painting with water and soap." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. You're right. It looks like a rainbow. Can I hang it on the wall?" + +Mommy said, "Of course, Lily. You can hang it on the wall. I'm proud of you. You're a good painter." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with crayons and draw pictures. Sara has many crayons, but Tom has only one. It is blue, his favorite color. + +One day, they are drawing on a big paper. Sara draws a sun, a flower, and a bird. Tom draws a fish, a boat, and a wave. They are happy and proud of their pictures. + +But then, Tom's crayon breaks. He is sad and cries. He cannot draw anymore. Sara sees him and feels sorry. She knows how much he loves his crayon. + +She says, "Don't cry, Tom. I have an idea. You can use my crayons. I have many colors. You can draw anything you want." + +Tom looks at her and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. You are a compassionate friend. Can I use your yellow crayon? I want to draw a star." + +Sara nods and gives him her yellow crayon. She says, "Of course, Tom. You can use any crayon you like. I like to share with you. You are a good friend." + +They hug and continue to draw. They make a beautiful picture together. They are happy and grateful. They know they have a special friendship. +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They loved Christmas and they were very excited to see what Santa would bring them. They had been good all year and they had written letters to Santa with their wishes. + +On Christmas Eve, they helped their mom bake cookies and their dad light the fire in the fireplace. They put the cookies and a glass of milk on a table near the chimney for Santa. Then they put on their pajamas and went to bed. + +Before they fell asleep, they prayed together. "Dear God, thank you for our family and our home. Please help Santa find our house and bring us nice presents. We don't need anything fancy or expensive, just something that makes us happy. Amen." + +In the middle of the night, they heard a loud thump on the roof. They jumped out of bed and ran to the window. They saw a big sleigh and eight reindeer on the snow. They also saw a man in a red suit and a white beard climbing down the chimney. + +They tiptoed to the living room and peeked behind the couch. They saw Santa putting presents under the tree. He saw the cookies and the milk and smiled. He ate some and drank some and then he noticed the twins. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben," he said in a jolly voice. "You are very brave and curious to stay up so late. But you should go back to bed now. You don't want to spoil the surprise, do you?" + +The twins were amazed and happy to see Santa. They nodded and said, "Thank you, Santa. We love you. Merry Christmas." + +Santa winked and said, "You're welcome, my dear children. I love you too. Merry Christmas." He gave them each a hug and a kiss and then he went back to the chimney. He waved and said, "Ho ho ho!" and then he flew away with his sleigh and his reindeer. + +The twins ran back to their bed and snuggled under the covers. They whispered to each other, "Wow, that was amazing. God answered our prayers. Santa brought us nice presents. I wonder what they are." + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep with big smiles on their faces. They dreamed of opening their presents in the morning and playing with them all day. They didn't care if they were cheap or not. They were happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big sandbox with many toys. They make castles and bridges and tunnels with the sand. They pretend they are kings and queens and knights. + +One day, they find a mysterious toy in the sandbox. It is green and long and has many teeth. It looks like a crocodile. Sara and Ben wonder who left it there. They decide to play with it. They make it swim in the sand and roar at the other toys. + +But then, they hear a voice behind them. It is a boy with curly hair and glasses. He says, "Hey, that's my crocodile! I forgot it here yesterday. Can I have it back, please?" + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know the crocodile belonged to someone. They feel sorry for the boy. They say, "Sure, you can have it back. We are sorry we played with it. We did not know it was yours." + +The boy smiles and says, "Thank you. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me? I have more toys in my backpack. We can share them." + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, we want to play with you. What is your name?" + +The boy says, "My name is Leo. What are your names?" + +They tell him their names and shake hands. They become friends. They play with Leo's toys and their toys. They have a lot of fun. They finish their castles and bridges and tunnels. They are happy. They like the park and the sandbox and the crocodile. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the farm. They saw a big pumpkin that was orange and round. They wanted to take it home and make a pie. + +"Let's take the pumpkin, Sam," Tim said. + +"No, Tim, we can't. It belongs to the farmer. He will be angry if we take it," Sam said. + +But Tim was stubborn. He did not listen to Sam. He pulled the pumpkin hard and rolled it away. Sam followed him, feeling scared. + +They came to a stream that was cold and clear. They were thirsty from rolling the pumpkin. They decided to drink some water. + +But when they bent down to drink, the pumpkin rolled into the stream. It floated away very fast. They could not catch it. + +"Tim, look what you did! You lost the pumpkin! Now we have no pie and no pumpkin!" Sam cried. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I was greedy and stubborn," Tim said. + +They went back to the farm, feeling sad and sorry. They saw the farmer, who was looking for his pumpkin. + +"Hello, boys. Have you seen my pumpkin? It was very big and orange. I wanted to make a pie for you," the farmer said. + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed. They told the farmer what happened. They said they were sorry and asked for forgiveness. + +The farmer was kind and good. He forgave them and gave them another pumpkin. He also taught them how to make a pie. + +Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They learned to respect other people's things, to listen to good advice, and to not be stubborn. They enjoyed the pie with the farmer and thanked him. They also hugged each other and promised to be good brothers. +Sara likes to get mail. She likes to see the letters and pictures that her friends and family send her. Sometimes, she gets mail from her grandma, who lives far away. Grandma always writes nice things and sends Sara stickers and candy. + +One day, Sara gets a big mail from Grandma. It is a soft mail, like a pillow. Sara is very happy and curious. She opens the mail and finds a teddy bear inside. The teddy bear has a red bow and a tag that says "To Sara, from Grandma. I love you very much." + +Sara hugs the teddy bear and feels its soft fur. She likes the teddy bear a lot. She wants to say thank you to Grandma. She asks her mom for paper and crayons. She draws a picture of her and the teddy bear.

This is a very nice reply. Grandma will be very happy to see it." Mom says. + +They go to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. Sara waves to the mailbox and says "Bye bye, mail. Have a good trip.

One day, they see a big building. It is pale and has many windows. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go there!" Ben says. He runs to the building. Lily follows him. She is curious too. + +They reach the door. It is locked. They look for another way in. They find a small window. It is open. Ben climbs on a box. He pushes the window more. He crawls inside. + +"Lily, come on!" he says. He reaches out his hand. Lily climbs on the box too. She grabs his hand. She follows him inside. + +They are in a dark room. There are many things on the floor. Books, papers, toys, clothes. They look around. They hear a noise. It is coming from another room. + +"Hello?" Ben says. He walks to the door. Lily follows him. She is scared. + +They open the door. They see a man. He is pale and thin. He has a long beard. He is sitting on a chair. He is holding a guitar. He looks at them. He smiles. + +"Who are you?" he says. "How did you get in?" + +Ben and Lily are silent. They do not know what to say. They do not know the man. They think he is strange. + +"Are you lost?" the man says. "Do you need help?" + +Ben and Lily shake their heads. They want to leave. They are sorry they came. + +"Sorry, mister," Ben says. "We were just curious. We saw your building. We wanted to see it." + +The man nods. He puts down his guitar. He stands up. He walks to them. + +"It's okay," he says. "I understand. I was curious too, when I was young. I like to explore. But you should be careful. This building is old and dangerous. You could get hurt. And you should not talk to strangers. They could be bad." + +He leads them to the window. He helps them climb out. He waves to them. + +"Bye, kids," he says. "Be safe. And have fun." + +Ben and Lily run away. They are glad they are out. They do not look back. They do not want to see the building again. They learned their lesson. They will not follow their curiosity. They will follow their parents. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Lily saw a new toy in Tom's bin. It was a shiny car that made noises and moved by itself. Lily wanted the car very much. She was envious of Tom. + +"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"No, this is my car. I work hard to get it. You have your own toys," Tom said. + +"But I like your car more. It is better than my toys," Lily said. + +She tried to grab the car from Tom's bin, but Tom pushed her away. They started to fight over the car. They pulled and tugged and shouted. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" Tom's mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was angry with Lily and Tom. + +"You two are naughty. You don't share and you don't respect each other's things. You have to learn to be nice and kind," she said. + +She took the car from Tom and put it in a high shelf. She told Lily to go home and Tom to go to his room. She said they could not play with the car or with each other until they said sorry. + +Lily and Tom were sad and mad. They lost the car and their friend. They wished they had not been envious and mean. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms.

It is very high and fast," Lily's mom says. + +Tom is scared. He does not like high and fast things. He likes slow and low things. He does not understand why Lily likes the slide. + +"I don't want to go on the slide," Tom says. "It is too scary. Can we play with the swings, mom?" + +"Sure, you can, but don't you want to try the slide? It is fun," Tom's mom says. + +Lily and Tom go to the swings. They swing back and forth. They have fun. But Lily still wants to go on the slide. She has a surprise for Tom. + +"Tom, I have something for you," Lily says. "Close your eyes and hold my hand." + +Tom closes his eyes and holds Lily's hand. He trusts Lily. He thinks she has a nice surprise for him. Maybe a candy or a toy. + +Lily leads Tom to the slide. She climbs up the stairs. She pulls Tom with her. She does not tell him where they are. + +"Open your eyes, Tom," Lily says. "We are on the slide!" + +Tom opens his eyes. He sees the slide. He is very scared. He screams. + +"Help, help, I don't want to go on the slide!" Tom says. + +Lily laughs. She thinks it is funny. She pushes Tom down the slide. She follows him. + +Tom slides down the slide. He feels the wind in his hair. He feels the sun on his face. He feels the thrill in his stomach. He does not feel scared anymore. He feels happy. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Tom says. "Can we do it again, Lily?" + +Lily smiles. She is happy that Tom likes the slide. She hugs him. + +"Sure, we can, Tom," Lily says. "I'm glad you liked my surprise. I'm sorry I tricked you. I wanted you to try the slide. I thought you would like it." + +Tom hugs Lily back. He forgives her. He understands that she is a good friend. He thanks her. + +"Thank you, Lily," Tom says. "You are a good friend. You helped me overcome my fear. You showed me something new. You gave me a good surprise." + +Lily and Tom go on the slide again. They have more fun. They laugh and shout.

She says, "Look, Tom, a diamond!" + +Tom says, "Wow, it is so pretty! Can I hold it?" Lily says, "Yes, but be careful. It is cold and hard." Tom holds the diamond and feels how cold and hard it is. He says, "It is like ice. I wonder where it came from." + +Lily says, "Maybe it came from a faraway place. Maybe someone drove a long way to bring it here. Maybe they drove through snow and ice." Tom says, "That sounds fun. I wish we could drive through snow and ice." Lily says, "Me too. Let's pretend we are driving through snow and ice." + +They put the diamond in a small car and push it around the garage. They make noises like a car engine and a horn. They pretend they see snowflakes and icicles. They have a lot of fun driving with the diamond. They forget about the other shiny things in the box. They only care about the diamond and their car. They are happy. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big sign. The sign had a picture of a sun and some words. Sara and Ben wanted to know what the words said. + +They asked a man who was sitting on a bench. The man was kind and helpful. He read the words to them. "The sign says: 'Be careful of the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen. Drink water.' Do you understand?" he asked. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They repeated the words after him. "Be careful of the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen. Drink water." They thanked the man and ran to their mom. They told her what they learned. Mom was proud of them. She gave them hats and sunscreen. She also gave them water bottles. + +Sara and Ben put on their hats and sunscreen. They drank some water. They were ready to play in the park. They had fun and stayed safe. They remembered the words on the sign. They repeated them to each other. "Be careful of the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen. Drink water." They smiled and hugged. They were happy and smart. +Lily liked to play with pebbles. She had many pebbles in her room. She had big pebbles and small pebbles, round pebbles and flat pebbles, shiny pebbles and dull pebbles. She liked to sort them by color and shape and make patterns with them on the floor. + +One day, she found a new pebble in the park. It was the most beautiful pebble she had ever seen. It was smooth and white and had a pink spot on it. She put it in her pocket and ran home to show it to her mom. + +But when she got home, she saw her brother Tom playing with her pebbles. He had dumped them all over the floor and was throwing them around. Lily was very angry. She ran to Tom and shouted, "Stop! Those are my pebbles! Give them back!" + +Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, they are mine now. You can't have them. Go away!" + +Lily felt helpless. She tried to grab her pebbles, but Tom was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and threw a pebble at her. It hit her on the head and made her cry. + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Tom had done. She demanded that he give her pebbles back. She also showed her mom the new pebble she had found. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Tom was very mean to you. He should not take your pebbles or hurt you. Let's go talk to him and make him say sorry." + +They went to Lily's room and saw Tom still playing with the pebbles. He looked up and saw them. He tried to hide the pebbles under his shirt, but it was too late. His mom saw them and said, "Tom, what are you doing? Why did you take Lily's pebbles? Why did you throw one at her?" + +Tom did not answer. He looked down and felt ashamed. He knew he had done something bad. He gave the pebbles back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was bored and wanted to play with your pebbles. I didn't mean to hurt you. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do it again. These are my pebbles and I love them. You can play with them if you ask me nicely. And look, I found a new pebble today. It's very pretty. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. Can I see it?" + +Lily showed him the new pebble. He said, "Wow, it is very pretty. I like the pink spot. Can I hold it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Don't drop it or lose it. It's my favorite pebble." + +Tom said, "I will. Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." + +They hugged and made up. They played with the pebbles together and had fun. Their mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that they were friends again. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Tom. You learned to share and forgive. That's what siblings do. I love you both very much." + +They said, "We love you too, mom." They gave her a kiss and a hug. They were a happy family. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +But Sara and Ben are also hungry. They want to eat lunch. Sara has a sandwich and Ben has a banana. They sit on a bench and share their food. + +"Can I have some of your sandwich?" Ben asks Sara. + +"Sure, you can have half. Can I have some of your banana?" Sara says. + +"Of course, you can have half. Thank you for sharing," Ben says. + +They are happy and eat their lunch. They understand that sharing is good. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog is eager to play. The dog runs to Sara and Ben and barks. + +"Hello, dog. Do you want to play with us?" Sara asks. + +The dog wags its tail and licks Sara's face. Sara giggles. + +But Ben is scared. He does not like dogs. He thinks the dog is too big and loud. He hides behind Sara. + +"Go away, dog. You are scary. Leave us alone," Ben says. + +The dog does not understand. The dog thinks Ben is playing. The dog jumps on Ben and knocks him down. Ben cries. + +Sara sees that Ben is sad. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben. The dog is not mean. The dog just wants to be friends. But we can tell the dog to go away if you want." + +Sara and Ben look at the dog. The dog looks at them. The dog tilts its head and whines. + +"Sorry, dog. We are not ready to play with you. Maybe another day. Please go away now," Sara says. + +The dog understands. The dog is sad, but he listens. He walks away and looks for another friend. + +Sara and Ben are relieved. They finish their lunch and go back to playing. They are still friends. They understand each other. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to dig in the sand and make castles. Sara has a nice bucket and a nice shovel. Ben has a nice truck and a nice rake. + +Sara notices a shiny pebble in the sand. She picks it up and puts it in her bucket. She thinks it will make her castle more pretty. + +Ben notices the pebble too. He wants it for his truck. He thinks it will make his truck more fast. + +"Give me the pebble!" Ben says to Sara. He tries to grab it from her bucket. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara says to Ben. She holds her bucket tight. + +They start to pull and push. The pebble falls out of the bucket and rolls away. + +They stop and look for the pebble. They can't find it. It is gone. + +They feel sad and sorry. They wish they had shared the pebble. + +They hug and say sorry to each other. They decide to play together and look for more pebbles. They find many nice pebbles and make their castle and truck more pretty and fast. They are happy and friends again. +Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were animals. Sara was a cat and Tom was a dog. They chased each other and made noises. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. You can't catch me, dog!" Sara said. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I will catch you, cat!" Tom said. + +They ran around the room, jumping on the bed and the sofa. They had fun, but they also made a mess. They knocked over the lamp, the books and the toys. + +"Stop, stop, you are being silly!" Mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was angry. "Look what you did! You broke the lamp, you tore the books and you scattered the toys. This is not how you play. This is not where you belong. You belong outside, not inside. Go to the yard, now!" + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They did not want to go outside. They wanted to stay inside and play. They did not mean to make a mess. They said sorry to Mom, but she did not listen. She took them by the hand and led them to the door. + +"Bye, bye, cat and dog. You can play outside, but not inside. And don't come back until you learn to behave." Mom said. + +She closed the door behind them. Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt lonely and cold. They wished they could go back to their room. They wished they could play with their toys. They wished they could look at the ceiling and see the stars. They wished Mom was not angry. They wished they were not silly. +Ben and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toy trains. Ben has a big red engine and Tom has a small blue engine. They make noises like choo-choo and vroom-vroom. + +One day, Ben is hungry. He sees a cookie on the table. He wants to eat it. But he does not ask Mom if he can have it. He just takes it and runs to his room. He thinks Mom will not notice. + +Tom sees Ben take the cookie. He is sad. He likes cookies too. He thinks it is not fair. He wants to make Ben sorry. He has an idea. He goes to Ben's room and sees his big red engine. He takes it and hides it under his bed. He thinks Ben will be angry. + +Ben eats the cookie. It is sweet and yummy. He is happy. He goes to play with his big red engine. But he cannot find it. He looks everywhere. He is confused. He asks Tom if he has seen it. + +Tom says, "No, I have not seen your engine. Maybe you ate it. You eat everything. You ate the cookie without asking Mom. That was bad. You should share. Sharing is good." + +Ben feels sorry. He knows Tom is right. He did a bad thing. He says, "I am sorry, Tom. You are right. I should have asked Mom. I should have shared the cookie with you. Please give me back my engine. I will not do it again." + +Tom feels sorry too. He knows he did a bad thing too. He says, "I am sorry, Ben. I should not have taken your engine. That was mean. I was angry and jealous. Please forgive me. Here is your engine. I will not do it again." + +Ben and Tom hug. They are happy. They go to Mom and tell her what they did. Mom is proud of them. She says, "I am glad you told me the truth. I am glad you said sorry to each other. I am glad you learned your lesson. You are good boys. I love you. Here is another cookie for each of you. You can share it." + +Ben and Tom smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you too. We will share the cookie. We will share everything. Sharing is fun." They eat the cookie together. They play with their engines together. They make noises like choo-choo and vroom-vroom. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Camp for kids. Fun and games. Sign up now." + +Lily and Sam wanted to go to camp. They ran to their moms and asked them. Their moms said yes. They were happy. + +The next day, they went to camp. They met other kids. They played with balls and blocks and paints. They had a lot of fun. + +But there was one kid who was mean. His name was Max. He liked to tease and push and take things. He said to Lily and Sam: "You are weak. You can't do anything. You are babies." + +Lily and Sam felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. They wanted to show him that they were not weak. They wanted to show him that they could do many things. + +They saw a big hill. It had a flag on top. They had an idea. They said to Max: "We can climb the hill. We can get the flag. Can you?" + +Max laughed. He said: "That hill is too high. You can't climb it. You will fall. You are scared." + +Lily and Sam said: "No, we are not scared. We are brave. We will show you. Come on, Sam. Let's go." + +They ran to the hill. They started to climb. It was hard. They slipped and slid. They got dirty and tired. But they did not give up. They helped each other. They said: "We can do it. We are strong. We are friends." + +They reached the top. They saw the flag. They grabbed it. They waved it. They shouted: "We did it. We did it. We are not weak. We are awesome." + +They looked down. They saw Max. He was still at the bottom. He looked surprised and mad. He said: "That's not fair. You cheated. Give me the flag." + +Lily and Sam said: "No, we did not cheat. We worked hard. We earned the flag. You can't have it. You are mean. You are a bully." + +They ran down the hill. They went to their moms. They showed them the flag. They told them what happened. Their moms hugged them. They said: "We are proud of you.

Lily saw Anna's prince doll and wanted to play with him too. She asked Anna, "Can I have your prince doll? He looks interesting." + +Anna did not want to share her prince doll. She said, "No, he is mine. You can play with another doll. I keep him." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. You have so many dolls. You should share. I want to play with him too." + +Anna and Lily started to argue. They both pulled on the prince doll. They did not notice that the prince doll's coat was tearing and his hat was falling off. + +Anna's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Lily fighting over the prince doll. She said, "Stop, girls. What are you doing? You are hurting the prince doll. He is not happy." + +Anna and Lily stopped and looked at the prince doll. They saw that he was broken and dirty. They felt sorry for him. They said, "We are sorry, prince doll. We did not mean to hurt you. We both like you." + +Anna's mom said, "It is good that you are sorry, but you should also be sorry to each other. You are friends, and friends should share and play nicely. Why don't you take turns with the prince doll? He has enough love for both of you." + +Anna and Lily agreed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, friend. We will share and play nicely. We will take turns with the prince doll." + +Anna's mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That is very good, girls. I am proud of you. Now, why don't you tell me some of your stories with the prince doll? I am sure they are very interesting." +Lily liked to act. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a teacher, or a doctor. She had many costumes and toys to help her act. She also had a diary, where she wrote and drew her stories. + +One day, Lily wanted to act with her friend Max. She invited him to her room and showed him her diary. "This is my diary," she said. "It has all my secrets and adventures. Do you want to see?" + +Max nodded. He was curious about Lily's diary. He reached for the book, but it was very heavy. He could not lift it. "Why is it so heavy?" he asked. + +Lily smiled. She opened the diary and showed him. Inside, there were many things. There were stickers, photos, feathers, coins, and more. Lily had glued them to the pages. "These are my treasures," she said. "They make my diary special. They help me act." + +Max was amazed. He liked Lily's treasures. He asked her if they could act together. Lily agreed. They picked some costumes and toys, and used the diary as a guide. They acted out many stories, and had a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were going to have a picnic with Mom and Dad. They helped Mom pack some food and drinks in a big basket. They also took a blanket, a ball and some books. + +They walked to the park and found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. Mom opened the basket and took out some sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice. + +"Who wants a sandwich?" Mom asked. + +"I do, I do!" Lily and Tom said. They each picked a sandwich and bit into it. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This sandwich is smelly!" + +Tom smelled his sandwich and made a face. "Mine too!" + +Mom smelled the sandwiches and frowned. "Oh no, the cheese has gone bad. I'm sorry, kids. We can't eat these sandwiches. They might make us sick." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They liked sandwiches. They looked at the basket and wondered what else they could eat. + +"Hey, look!" Dad said. He picked up a bag of chips from the basket. "We still have these. And we have apples, cookies and juice. That's enough for a picnic, right?" + +Lily and Tom smiled. They liked chips. They also liked apples, cookies and juice. They picked some of each and put them on their plates. + +"Thank you, Dad!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids!" Dad said. "Let's enjoy our picnic. And maybe later we can play with the ball or read some books." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They ate their food and drank their juice. They were happy. They had a nice picnic with Mom and Dad. And they didn't mind the smelly sandwiches. They threw them in the trash and forgot about them. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asked them to stir the sauce for the pasta. She said, "Be careful, the sauce is hot and the pot is heavy. Don't spill it or burn yourself." + +Anna and Ben nodded and took turns stirring the sauce with a big spoon. They smelled the tomatoes, the garlic, and the cheese. They thought the sauce looked yummy and wanted to taste it. But mom said, "No, no, the sauce is not ready yet. You have to wait until dinner time." + +Anna and Ben were impatient and curious. They wondered what would happen if they added something else to the sauce. They saw a jar of pepper on the counter and decided to pour some into the pot. They thought it would make the sauce more spicy and fun. + +But they poured too much pepper and the sauce became very hot and bitter. They coughed and sneezed and their eyes watered. They realized they had made a big mistake and ruined the sauce. They felt sorry and scared. They didn't know what to do. + +Mom came back and saw the mess. She was angry and disappointed. She said, "What have you done? You have wasted the sauce and made a lot of trouble. You should have listened to me and followed the rules. Now we have no sauce for the pasta and we have to eat something else." + +Anna and Ben cried and apologized. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were bored and curious. We wanted to try something new. We didn't mean to spoil the sauce." + +Mom sighed and hugged them. She said, "I know you were trying to help and have fun. But you have to learn to be patient and respectful. You can't just change things without knowing the consequences. You have to think before you act. Sometimes, the old way is the best way." + +Anna and Ben nodded and promised to be more careful and obedient. They helped mom clean up the kitchen and make a new sauce. They learned their lesson and enjoyed their dinner. They thanked mom for her love and forgiveness. They also thanked the elderly lady next door who gave them some fresh basil for the sauce.

Inside, they saw four blue eggs. + +"Wow, look at the eggs!" Kim said. "They are so pretty!" + +"Shh, don't scare the bird," Tim said. "Maybe it will come back soon." + +They waited and watched.

It looked like it wanted to play. + +"Oh no, it's Rex!" Tim said. "He likes to chase us and jump on us. He's too big and rough. He might knock us down or break the eggs." + +"Let's get down!" Kim said. "Quick, before he sees us!" + +They tried to get down. But they were too late. Rex saw them. He ran faster and jumped on the pile of hay. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.

They have more fun. +Ben and Lily liked to play hide and seek in the park. They knew all the good spots to hide, like behind the big tree, or under the slide, or in the bushes. But they also knew to be alert, because sometimes there were other things in the park that were not so nice, like bees, or dogs, or strangers. + +One day, they decided to play a new game. They called it "strip and remain". The rules were simple: they had to take off one piece of clothing and leave it somewhere in the park, then hide and wait for the other to find it. Then they would switch roles. They thought it was a fun and silly game, and they giggled a lot. + +Ben went first. He took off his hat and put it on the bench. Then he ran and hid behind the big tree. Lily counted to ten and started to look for his hat. She saw it on the bench and ran to get it. But as she reached for it, she heard a loud bark. She turned around and saw a big dog running towards her. It had seen the hat and wanted to play with it. Lily was scared and ran away, leaving the hat behind. + +Ben heard the bark and the scream. He came out from behind the tree and saw the dog chasing Lily. He also saw a man running after the dog, calling its name. He realized it was the dog's owner, and he was trying to stop it. Ben felt bad for Lily and wanted to help her. He looked around and saw a strip of cloth hanging from the fence. He grabbed it and waved it in the air, hoping to distract the dog. + +It worked. The dog saw the strip and changed direction. It ran towards Ben, leaving Lily alone. Ben threw the strip over the fence and ran to join Lily. They hugged each other and were glad they were safe. The man caught up with the dog and apologized to the kids. He said his dog was friendly, but sometimes got too excited. He gave them back their hat and the strip, which turned out to be his scarf. He said they could keep them as a gift. + +Ben and Lily thanked the man and his dog. They decided to end their game and put their clothes back on. They learned a lesson that day: playing hide and seek was fun, but playing strip and remain was not. They agreed to never play it again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and make mud pies. They have a big bucket and a small spoon. They fill the bucket with mud and water.

They think it looks like sugar. + +They are very proud of their cake. They want to show their mom. They carry the bucket to the porch. They are careful not to spill the mud.

Anna asks. + +"A famous road is a road that many people know and like. It has many things to see and do. Like this one," mom says and points to a big sign. The sign says Hollywood Boulevard. + +Anna and Ben look at the sign. They see many stars on the sign. They are shiny and colorful. + +"Wow, look at the stars, Ben!" Anna says. + +"I see them, Anna.

He is my favorite. Can we take a picture with him?" Anna says. + +"Sure, we can. Smile and say cheese!" mom says and takes a picture of them with the star. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They see a famous road. They see many stars. They have fun with mom. They like the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a deer in the grass. The deer was eating some flowers. Lily and Ben wanted to pet the deer. + +"Look, a deer!" Lily said. "Let's go and say hi!" + +"OK, but be quiet," Ben said. "We don't want to scare it." + +They walked slowly to the deer. The deer looked at them with big eyes. Lily and Ben smiled and reached out their hands. + +"Hello, deer," Lily said softly. "You are so pretty. Can we touch you?" + +The deer nodded its head. It let Lily and Ben stroke its fur. It felt soft and warm. Lily and Ben were happy. + +But then, a loud noise came from the road. A car honked its horn. The deer got scared. It jumped up and ran away. + +"Bye, deer!" Lily and Ben shouted. "Come back soon!" + +They watched the deer disappear into the woods. They felt sad. + +"Who made that noise?" Lily asked. "That was not nice." + +"It was a stupid car," Ben said. "It was too loud. It scared the deer." + +"I don't like stupid cars," Lily said. "They are mean." + +"Me neither," Ben said. "They are bad." + +They hugged each other. They decided to play something else. They hoped to see the deer again. +John was in his garage and he saw something distant. It was twisted and strange. He wondered what it was. He walked closer, his feet shuffling across the garage floor. + +John got closer and closer to the strange thing. It was so twisted he couldn't make out what it was.

He screamed as he saw it was a robot! + +The robot stopped moving and John breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed at himself for getting so scared.

He reached his hand out to pick one but, just then, a voice said "NO!" It was a very angry-sounding voice. Bert was scared and looked around to find out where it came from. + +A few feet away, he saw the meanest-looking goblin he had ever seen. He had a big, round head and a long, pointy nose. He scowled at Bert and shouted "These berries will be mine!" + +Bert was very confused. He quickly grabbed his handle-bag and moved away from the goblin, looking back to wonder why he was so grumpy. He hopped away and never saw the goblin again. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack who was very happy.

It was a deaf cricket, and it was chirping in the grass. + +Daisy had an idea. She dug a little hole in the dirt and she found a wet leaf. She put the leaf in the hole and the cricket hopped onto it. The dried leaf made a nice soft cushion for the cricket, and it sang and chirped happily. + +Daisy wasn't thirsty anymore, but she was still hot. Then she saw a daisy, bright and yellow in the field. She picked the daisy and put it in the hole. The daisy made the sun go away and everything was nice and cool.
