It was sunny outside and the little boy wanted to take the cooler outside so he could roll it around the garden. + +"I want to roll the cooler!" smiled the little boy. + +"That sounds like fun!" said his mum. So the little boy grabbed the handles of the cooler and starting rolling it through the garden, feeling very happy. + +After a while, the sun had gotten very hot so the little boy grabbed some ice from the cooler and poured it into a bucket near the edge of the garden. + +"Ah, this is nice and cool," said the little boy as he poured the ice into the bucket. + +The little boy grabbed the yellow cooler and rolled it back inside the house, feeling happy and refreshed. From then on, the little boy knew that a yellow cooler was the best way to stay cool on a sunny day! +Once upon a time there was a little boy who was very curious. He wanted to know about everything around him and often asked his mom questions. One day, he asked her about radishes. "Mom, what is a radish?" he said. + +His mother smiled. "A radish is a vegetable, honey," she said. "It looks like a red ball. It tastes a little spicy, like a pepper." + +The little boy looked amazed. "Oh, wow," he said. + +His mother continued to explain. "Radishes are good for you, but you have to be careful with them," she said. "It's important to listen to adults and do what they say. If someone tells you not to eat something, even if it looks good, you should trust them and not eat it." + +The little boy thought about this and nodded. Even though radishes looked fun, he wouldn't eat one without permission. He was happy to be so curious and learn more. +Jimmy was an eager little boy who loved adventures. He asked his mom for permission to go for a bike ride. She said yes and reminded him to be careful. + +So Jimmy hopped on his bicycle and started pedaling. He was so happy to feel the wind in his hair. He started to speed up and felt excited. + +He was cruising down the street when he noticed something on the ground. He stopped and looked closer – it was a big stick of celery! Jimmy was surprised but also thrilled. He grabbed the celery and hopped back on his bike, pedaling faster and faster. + +He soon arrived back home and was eager to show his mom what he'd found. To his surprise, there was her own big stick of celery in her hand – she had been grocery shopping! She laughed and told Jimmy that sometimes if you look, you will find what you need. Jimmy smiled, happy that he had gone on his little adventure. +Once upon a time, there was a brave little girl. She was very curious and liked to explore new things. One day, she was playing in the living room when she noticed an old bookshelf in the corner. She wanted to see what was inside, so she slowly stepped closer and started to rub the dusty shelves. Suddenly, a genie appeared and granted her three wishes! + +The little girl was very excited. She wished for all the ice cream, toys and candy in the world. But then she remembered her mom's advice; to always think of others first. The little girl changed her wish and instead asked the genie to make all the people around the world kind and generous. + +The genie smiled and said "Your wish has been granted". Then he disappeared into a cloud of glitter. + +The little girl learned an important lesson that day; being brave and thoughtful can be more rewarding than any wish. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was 3 years old and lived in a village with her parents. + +One day she was playing outside her home when suddenly she heard a voice. It was a witch! She asked the little girl what she wanted in life. The little girl answered that she wanted to be a princess and own very expensive things. + +The witch was very angry and said to the little girl that since she wanted to be so expensive, she would freeze her and all the villagers. The little girl was scared and started to cry. + +The parents quickly came and saved the little girl from the witch. They asked her to never wish for expensive things again. + +This is a lesson to us all: expensive materialistic things don't bring you real happiness. +Once there was a little girl named Sally. She wanted to find out what was on the other side of the big cliff. One day she decided to try to find out. She ran to the cliff and looked over the edge. She was so small, and the cliff looked so tall. Sally was a bit scared, so she started to cry. She was very sad. + +Then she saw a bird flying high above the cliff. Sally decided to try to fly like the bird. She ran and jumped, flapping her arms as hard as she could. But, she couldn't fly! + +Sally was very sad. She walked away from the cliff and went home. But the next day, she decided to try again. She ran to the cliff, and found a path going around it. She followed the path, and eventually she made it to the other side! + +Sally was so excited! She was so glad that she had tried again. Now she knew that the cliff wasn't so scary after all. She ran off to explore the other side, happy that she had been brave enough to try. +Once upon a time there was a beautiful lake. Flames from the sun made the lake sparkle. The lake was so special, even the birds sang and twirled in circles with joy. + +There was an adorable little bunny who lived near the lake. Everyday, he would take a nap near the pebbles by the lake. One day, he was feeling sad so he decided to go to the lake. He hopped around the lake and started to weep. + +Even though the bunny was so small, the lake could hear him and it saw his tears. It wanted to make him feel better, so it turned colder and darker. Just then, a ray of sunshine shined through the clouds and warmth filled the bunny's heart. + +The bunny was so happy that he hopped around and the lake too shone. All day long, the bunny played and laughed around the lake. He was so happy and he thanked the lake for making him feel better. From that day on, the lake and the bunny were always friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was very excited and wanted to make a muffin. She ran to the kitchen and found a muffin tin. The little girl picked it up and looked at it. It was smooth to the touch. + +Next, she went to the cupboard and found some muffin mix. She grabbed a bowl and spoon and poured the mix into the bowl. Then she stirred it until it was smooth. + +Next, she grabbed the muffin tin and sprayed it with oil. Then she scooped up some of the muffin mix and quickly placed it in each muffin tin. When all of the muffin tins were full she put the pan in the oven. + +The little girl waited and waited. Finally, the timer rang and the muffins were done! She opened the oven and took out the pan. She had made the most delicious muffins ever! + +The little girl was so proud of herself. She hurried and grabbed a plate. Then she used a knife to cut one of the muffins in half. When she tasted it, it was so yummy! She knew her muffins were the best. +Once, there was a tidy trumpet. A little girl named Mary asked a question about it. She said, "What is that?" Her mom said, "That is a trumpet." + +Mary was curious so she asked another question. She asked, "What does it do?" Her mom said, "It makes music!" + +Mary wanted to try it so she asked a third question. She said, "Can I play it?" Her mom said, "Sure, but you need to be extra tidy when you play." + +Mary was excited so she grabbed the trumpet. She blew into the trumpet and it made a fun sound. She smiled and kept making music with the trumpet. +Molly was a girl who liked to build things. She always gathered scraps and pieces of wood she found around her house and put them together. + +One day Molly's dad told her they were going to the park to build something special. Molly's brother was excited too, because he liked to build things too. + +At the park, they gathered a bunch of materials and then started to build. As they worked, more people joined them. Soon everyone was building a big march. + +The march slowly grew bigger and bigger. Molly and her brother were so proud of what they had built. When it was done, they all held hands and marched around the park together. Everyone was so gentle, marching together and smiling. + +Molly's dad said, "Wow, look at what you built. It's amazing!" + +Molly smiled and said, "Yeah, I built a march!" +George and his dad were in the car, driving to the store. His dad reached up and took something off the dashboard. It was a shiny rectangle with George’s dad picture on it. “What’s this daddy?†he asked. + +“It’s my license,†his dad said. “Without it, I can’t drive the car.†+ +George smiled and watched out the window as they drove along. Soon they started to roll up and down a big hill. + +“Whee!†George shouted as the car rolled. Everything outside the car was whizzing by and the wind blew in George’s hair. + +But then the car stopped abruptly. His dad made a disgusted noise. + +“What’s wrong daddy?†George asked. + +“This road is closed,†his dad said, pointing ahead. “No one is allowed to roll here. We have to turn around.†+ +George sighed, disappointed. They drove back the other way and soon they were at the store. + +“Let’s go in,†his dad said. + +George smiled. He had forgotten all about the disgusting road. He could hardly wait to see what surprises were inside the store. +Once there was a little bunny. He was very happy. He wanted to explore the world. + +He decided to take a look around. He hopped and hopped through the woods, looking at all the light and lovely things around him. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful rainbow. He wanted to bow down and say hello. + +He hopped closer and bowed his little head. He looked up at the rainbow with awe. It was so bright and colourful! Suddenly the little bunny felt very happy and he smiled. + +Then the bunny hopped on his way. He saw some other wonderful things, like a river and some trees. The little bunny was so happy! He knew he would never forget this special day. +Once upon a time, there was a high blackboard in the sky. It was so high that no one had ever seen it before. +Two children, Jane and John, decided to pretend that they could fly up to the blackboard. So, they jumped and flapped their arms like wings. + +Sadly, no matter how much they pretended, they simply could not reach the blackboard. Jane and John were discouraged and accepted that they would never reach it. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to understand your limits. Even if you believe you can do something beyond your limit, it is better to accept the boundaries of reality. +Once there was a little girl who had a very special purse. It had a sparkly star on it and made her feel safe. + +One day she was walking with her purse when it got very cold. As she looked around, everything was frozen! Even the trees, the birds and the clouds in the sky. + +The little girl got scared and looked around. She was all alone in this frozen world! Then, she opened her purse and found that it was empty. + +But then, the sparkly star on her purse began to glow. Suddenly, the whole world started to thaw! + +The little girl felt happy and safe again. She knew that her sparkly star always had her back. +Once upon a time, there was a mommy and a baby. They wanted to go outside, but it was dark. Baby was scared and didn't want to leave the house. Suddenly, bright lightning lit up the sky! Baby was excited, because it was so lively. Mommy said, "Come on, let's go outside and enjoy the lightning!" and so they did. Together, they watched the lightning in the night sky and it made them both happy. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy called Jack. Jack had a big box of cream. He wanted to put the cream on his cheeks. + +He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, can I put some cream on my cheeks?" + +His mom said, "Yes, Jack. You can put some cream on your cheeks, but be gentle." + +Jack smiled and said, "Ok, Mom," then reached out to grab the cream. His mom took the cream and said, "Here, let me put it on for you." + +She put the cream on his cheeks with a gentle touch. The creamy feeling felt nice and Jack smiled. + +Mom said, "Now, keep the cream on for about five minutes and then you can wash it off." + +Jack nodded.

Just be gentle when you do it." + +So, Jack gently washed the cream off. When he was done, his cheeks looked so nice and smooth. Jack was happy and gave his mom a big hug. +Tiny was walking in the park and he saw a strip of harsh grass at the edge of the meadow. He had never seen anything like it before. He touched the strip and felt the rough texture. + +Suddenly, a voice from behind said, "That's my favorite place in the park." Tiny turned around and he recognized an old man in a grey hat. + +The man said, "I come here every weekend to enjoy the peace and the beauty." + +Tiny asked, "Why is it so harsh? It's different from the rest of the grass." + +The old man smiled and said, "It's because it's closer to the sun. That's why it's so much drier and brighter." + +Tiny nodded and said, "I recognize it now." + +The old man smiled and said, "I'm glad you could recognize it." + +Tiny smiled and felt happy that he could recognize something so harsh and beautiful. +Once upon a time there was a poor farm.

Everyone was happy. + +The farmer's children helped with the farm every day. They would go out and pick the vegetables and help feed the animals. Soon the poor farm was full of life and happiness. + +The moral of the story is that if you dare to do something special, then good things will happen. +Once there was a group of poor friends. They did not have much, but what they did have, they shared. Every day, each of them would carry something special to the group. One day, the group decided that each of them would carry something special to show the others. + +They all went off and found special things to carry. One of them carried big, yellow flowers. Another carried yummy fruit. The last one carried the biggest surprise of all, a big, red balloon. + +When they were all back together, they showed what they had carried to the others.

The tide was high and the waves were very big. + +The little girl was scared and started to cry. Her mum came over, gave her a hug and said, "It's ok darling. You don't have to be scared of the tide." + +The little girl looked up and asked, "Can it hurt me?" + +Mum said, "No, not if you stay away from it. You can enjoy the beach but you must stay away from the tide." + +The little girl nodded and went back to playing but still stayed away from the tide. Then, suddenly, she heard someone screaming. She looked around and saw a man who had gotten caught in the tide. He was struggling and suffering in the strong waves. + +The little girl was scared, but she knew that she had to help. She ran back to her mum and quickly told her what had happened. Her mum ran to the man and pulled him out of the water.

She never forgot the scary sight she saw that day and was more careful when she played near the beach. +Once there was a little girl named Bella. Bella loved to lay in the grass and watch the clouds go by. One day, she saw a big pile of junk in the corner of her backyard. It looked old and dusty. Intrigued, she walked closer. + +Bella asked her mom, "what's this junk?" + +Her mom replied, "It's old furniture, Bella. It's not safe for us here so it needs to go. + +Bella begged her mom, "But please don't throw it away! I just want to lay on it, it looks so soft!" + +Her mom said, "No Bella, it's unsafe. We must get rid of it." + +So, despite Bella's protests the junk was taken away. After the junk was gone, Bella felt very sad. She realized that just because something looks soft and comfortable, doesn't mean it's safe. + +The moral of the story is to always listen to your parents, even when it's hard to do. +Once upon a time there was a fair home in the middle of a spacious green field. The roof of the home was painted red, and the walls were bright white. Inside the home there was a mother and a young child.

His parents wanted to discuss something with him, so they called him over. + +The boy said, "What do you want to talk about?" + +His parents replied, "We want to talk about being a helpful boy. Do you understand?" + +The boy thought for a moment and then nodded. + +His parents said, "We think you are very helpful to us. We appreciate all that you do for us." + +The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome! I'm happy to help." + +His parents were very pleased and hugged him. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a clock. The clock was very old, and it was very ignorant. It had never been taught how to tell the time, so it just kept on ticking. + +One day, a young boy happened to find the old clock and he decided to take it home with him. He was determined to teach the clock how to tell time. + +Over the course of many days and many nights, the boy worked hard with the clock.

It was a very proud moment for the boy and the clock.

He wanted to keep it so he put it in his pocket and went back to the park. + +When he arrived at the park, he heard loud noises. He looked around the dead nut tree and noticed that the nut was coming to life! Suddenly, an angry badger ran out and bit Jack. + +Jack was so scared, he ran away. He never returned to the park. + +The End. +One day, Fred was hungry. He was looking for something to eat. He found a telephone and thought he could eat it. He picked up the telephone and started to eat. But it did not taste very good, so he put it back down on the table. + +Then his loyal dog came into the room. His dog was always loyal to him. Fred saw that his dog was hungry too. So he decided to give his dog something to eat. He went to the kitchen and got some food. + +He put the food in front of his loyal dog. The dog ate it quickly and was happy. Fred was glad to see his dog happy and full. + +When Fred looked around, he saw the telephone still sitting on the table. He smiled and grabbed something else to eat. +Once upon a time, there was a deer in the forest. The deer was very intelligent. One day, the deer wanted to explore beyond the forest. + +The deer wandered for a long time and eventually he came to a town.

He never forgot the kind people of the town who helped him return. +John was a three-year-old boy who like to play with marbles on the playground. One day, he noticed a shiny marble near the slide and he decided to take it home. As he tried to remove it from the ground, Jamie, his older brother, came to him and said "No, John. That marble doesn't belong to you." John said that he really wanted it and Jamie told him."It's very wrong to take something that isn't yours, it's terrible." John looked at the marble and thought for a moment before putting it back. Jamie smiled at him and said "Good boy John. We shouldn't take things that don't belong to us, even if it's something small like a marble." John nodded and felt glad that he had done the right thing. + +This story teaches a valuable lesson which is to always respect other people's things and never take something that doesn't belong to you. From that day forward, John never again tried to remove someone else's marble or anything else that wasn't his. +Once upon a time there was a tall tree, surrounded by a thick mist. + +Two tiny birds were perched on its branches. One of them said to the other: "Let's give the tree a big squeeze!" + +So they flew to the trunk of the tree and hopped onto it. The birds wrapped their wings around the trunk and started to squeeze. + +The tree creaked and groaned, then all of a sudden a loud POP! filled the air. Thousands of tiny apples fell off the tree and scattered around the mist. + +The birds had squeezed the tree so hard that all the apples came loose! + +The birds squealed with delight and quickly started to eat the sweet apples. + +The birds had a lovely snack and hopped off the tree, contented.

He wanted to pet it, so he slowly walked closer. But the dog was scared and it acted strange. It barked, and it made Tony jump with shock. + +Tony's mom came running over. She told him to stay away. She said that some dogs can act funny and get scared when people try to touch them. + +Tony asked his mom why the dog was acting strange. His mom said because it was hot outside, the dog was probably feeling too hot and too tired. + +Tony decided to give the dog some space. He backed away and watched it. After a few minutes, the dog lay down and had a nap. Tony was happy that the dog was feeling better. +One day, Tom spotted something yellow in the sky. He pointed, excitingly exclaiming, "Look!" It was a beautiful yellow balloon. Tom watched it, longingly. He wanted it and wished it would come down. + +But alas, the balloon drifted further away.

She was only three years old but very adventurous. + +Every morning, Erica would go exploring in her backyard. She loved to observe the way the birds sang and the flowers swayed in the wind. However, today Erica was feeling a bit more daring. She decided to go inside her house and explore every room. + +As she entered the hallway, Erica felt a bit nervous. But she kept walking until she came to the bathroom. She was very curious and wanted to get a closer look, so she opened the door. To her surprise, the bathroom was filled with bright and colorful displays. She had never seen such beautiful sights before. + +Erica's curiosity made her disregard warnings given to her by her parents. She touched the displays and admired them closer. Suddenly, a sharp noise startled her. Erica had broken one of the displays. She was embarrassed and quickly ran to her bedroom. + +The moral of this story is that curiosity is an important quality to have, but it should be done with care. We should be careful when exploring and respect other people's belongings. +One morning, Daisy was walking across the meadow with her dad. She saw a lake and pointed, saying excitedly, "Dad, Dad! I want to go!" + +Her Dad shook his head and said, "Sorry, Daisy. That's a flood. We can't go there." + +Daisy looked sad, but she cheerfully asked why.

He said they were going to continue along the path. + +But before they reached the path, Daisy saw something shimmering in the pond. It was a big, silver fish! She couldn't believe it, and said, "Dad, can I please take it home?" + +Again, her Dad shook his head and said, "Sorry Daisy. We don't want to take the fish.

He thought about it in his room and looked up at the ceiling. It was white and boring, so he decided to cover it with colourful paint. He asked his mom for help. She gave him some colourful paints and a big brush. He climbed up the ladder, and started to paint. His dad saw him and was surprised, but happy at how colourful the ceiling had become. He even helped to paint it! When it was finished, everyone smiled and said it was beautiful, and John was so proud of all the new colours he had made. +Mummy had a big surprise for Emily.

Can't you share the block and take turns?" + +Lily and Ben looked at their mom. They saw her face was sad and angry. They did not want to make her sad and angry. They wanted to make her happy and proud. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the blue block, but she also liked her brother. She did not want to hurt him or make him cry. She decided to yield the block to him. She let go of the block and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, you can have it," she said. "I'm sorry for fighting with you. You can play with it first, and then I can play with it later." + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect Lily to yield the block to him. He felt bad for fighting with her.

Then I saw the small slide, and I thought it would be fun. But I did not fit, and I got stuck." + +Her mom said, "Lila, you have to learn to be patient and polite. You can't always get what you want right away. You have to wait your turn and share with others. That is how you make friends and have fun. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry for being rude and selfish. Can I try again and go on the big slide?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to wait your turn and say please and thank you.

Lily said, grabbing the teddy bear from Ben. "It's mine!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling the teddy bear back. "You are selfish!" + +They started to fight over the teddy bear, tugging and shouting. They did not see that the teddy bear was very old and had a hole in its belly.

He thought Lily was selfish. He did not like that she did not want to share. He tried to pull the cart, but it was too heavy for him alone. + +"Please, Lily!" Tom said. "It will be fun to mail our toys to the zoo. We can see the lions, the monkeys and the elephants. Maybe they will play with our toys and be happy. Don't you want to make them happy?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the zoo animals. She wanted to make them happy. But she also loved her toys. She did not want to lose them. + +"Can we get our toys back?" Lily asked. + +Tom nodded. He had an idea. + +"Yes, we can!" Tom said. "We can mail our toys with a note. The note will say: 'Please play with our toys and then mail them back to us. Thank you!' Then the zoo animals will know that we are sharing, not giving. And we will get our toys back soon. What do you think?" + +Lily liked Tom's idea. She thought it was clever and kind. She smiled and agreed. + +"Okay, Tom!" Lily said. "Let's mail our toys to the zoo with a note. But we have to be careful. We don't want to lose our cart!" + +Tom and Lily hugged and pushed the cart together. They were happy to share their toys and their cart. They were not selfish anymore.

There might be monsters in the water." + +They ran to the pond and put the boat in the water. They used a stick to push it and make it move. They watched it sail from one side to the other. They made noises like pirates and laughed. + +But then, something happened. A big frog jumped out of the water and landed on the boat. It made a loud croak and looked at them with big eyes. Lily and Tom were fearful. They thought the frog was a monster. + +"Ah! Run, Lily!" Tom shouted. "The monster wants to eat us!" + +"Help, Tom!" Lily screamed. "The monster has our boat!" + +They dropped the stick and ran away from the pond. They hid behind a tree and hugged each other. They were scared and sad. They wanted their boat back. + +But then, they heard a splash. They peeked from behind the tree and saw the frog jump off the boat and into the water. The boat was free and still sailing. Lily and Tom were happy. They realized the frog was not a monster, but a friend. + +"Look, Tom!" Lily said. "The frog helped us. He gave us our boat back." + +"Wow, Lily!" Tom said. "You're right. He's a nice frog. Maybe he wanted to play with us." + +They smiled and ran back to the pond. They picked up the stick and pushed the boat again. They waved at the frog and thanked him.

One day, they see a big log. It is brown and long and hard. + +"Let's play with the log!" Tim says. "We can roll it or jump on it or hide behind it." + +"OK!" Jen says. "But I have an idea. Let's have a race. Who can roll the log to the other side of the park first?" + +Tim likes races. He thinks he is fast and strong. He says, "I will win. You are too small and slow." + +Jen feels sad. She says, "That is not nice. I can try. Maybe I will win." + +They start the race. Tim pushes the log hard. It rolls fast. Jen pushes the log too. It rolls slower. Tim laughs. He says, "See? I told you. You are too slow. I will win." + +But then, something happens. Tim's log hits a rock. It stops. It does not roll anymore. Tim tries to push it again. It does not move. He says, "Oh no! What is this? Why is my log stuck?" + +Jen sees Tim's log. She smiles. She says, "That is a rock. It is in your way. You have to go around it. But I don't. My log is smaller. It can go over it." + +Jen pushes her log harder. It rolls over the rock. It rolls faster. It rolls to the other side of the park. Jen wins. She says, "Yay! I did it! I won!" + +Tim feels sad. He says, "Oh no! You won. You are faster and smarter. I am sorry. I was not nice." + +Jen feels happy. She says, "It's OK. You can try again. But next time, be nice. And look out for rocks. They can stop your log." + +They hug. They are friends again. They see a cute dog. It is fluffy and white and friendly. It runs to them. It licks their faces. They laugh. They say, "Hello, dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The end. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a cute brown bear that he loves very much. Lily has a big yellow duck that she likes to squeeze. They are having fun and sharing their toys. + +But then, Lily sees Tom's bear and wants to play with it. She grabs it from Tom and runs away. Tom is angry and chases her. He wants his bear back. + +"Give me my bear, Lily!" Tom shouts. "It is mine, not yours!" + +"No, I want it!" Lily says. "It is so cute and soft!" + +They run around the living room, pulling and tugging on the bear. The bear is not happy. It feels hurt and scared. It wants to be with Tom, who is gentle and kind. + +The bear decides to do something. It opens its mouth and bites Lily's hand. Lily screams and drops the bear. She has a red mark on her hand. It hurts a lot. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. "The bear bit me! It is mean and bad!" + +Tom picks up his bear and hugs it. He sees that the bear has a tear on its ear. It has a strip of fur missing. He feels sorry for his bear. + +"I'm sorry, bear," Tom says. "Lily was not nice to you. She made you bite her. Are you okay?" + +The bear nods and snuggles with Tom. It feels safe and happy. Tom looks at Lily and sees that she is still crying. He feels a little sorry for her too. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asks. "Do you need a band-aid?" + +Lily nods and sniffles. She stops crying. She looks at Tom and his bear. She feels a little sorry for them too. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I was not nice to you or your bear. I should have asked you first. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom smiles and nods. He holds out his bear to Lily. + +"Here, you can play with my bear for a little while," Tom says. "But be gentle and kind. He is my best friend." + +Lily smiles and takes the bear. She strokes its ear and says sorry to it. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily says. "You are a good friend. And your bear is very cute." + +They hug and make up. They play with their toys together. The bear is happy too. He likes both Tom and Lily.

They had a red car and a blue car. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am the fastest car!" Ben said. + +"No, I am the fastest car!" Lily said. + +They raced their cars on the grass and on the path. They had fun and laughed. + +But then, Ben's car stopped. He tried to push it, but it did not move. + +"Oh no, what is wrong with my car?" Ben asked. + +Lily looked at his car. She saw a hole in the back. + +"Your car has no gas, Ben. Look, there is a hole. The gas came out," Lily said. + +Ben was sad. He liked his car. He did not want it to end. + +Lily had an idea. She went to the shed and found a bottle. She filled it with water from the tap. She brought it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. This is gas for your car. You can put it in the hole and make it go again," Lily said. + +Ben smiled. He took the bottle and poured some water in the hole. He pushed his car and it moved. + +"Wow, thank you, Lily. You are amazing. You fixed my car," Ben said. + +Lily smiled too. She was happy to help Ben. + +They played with their cars again. They shared the gas and the fun.

There are many swings. We can take turns." + +But Tom does not listen. He pushes Sara and Ben off the swings. He says, "No, you can't. These are my swings. I am the best swinger. You are too small and slow." + +Sara and Ben feel angry and hurt. They do not like Tom. They think he is mean and rude. They say, "You are not the best swinger. You are a bully. You do not know how to share. You are not humble. You are selfish." + +Then, something happens. Tom swings too high and too fast. He loses his grip. He falls off the swing. He lands on the ground. He feels pain and fear. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow! Help me!" + +Sara and Ben see Tom. They feel sorry for him. They are not mean and rude like him. They are kind and humble. They run to him. They say, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +Tom looks at Sara and Ben. He feels ashamed and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was mean and rude. I did not share. I was not humble. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "We forgive you. We are your friends. We can help you. We can swing with you. We can take turns." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you. You are very kind and humble. You are good swingers. You are good friends." + +They help Tom up. They swing on the swings together. They feel happy and peaceful. They learn to share and be humble. They have fun. +Sara and Ben were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to fly in a big plane to see Grandma and Grandpa. Sara and Ben had packed their bags with their toys and clothes. They wanted to be tidy and not make a mess. + +At the airport, they saw many people and many planes. They heard loud noises and saw bright lights. They followed Mom and Dad to a big desk, where they gave their bags to a nice lady. The lady put their bags on a belt that moved them away. Sara and Ben waved goodbye to their bags and hoped they would see them again. + +Mom and Dad gave Sara and Ben some stickers and crayons. They said they had to wait for a while before they could board the plane. Sara and Ben found a table and some chairs and started to make pictures with their stickers and crayons. They had fun making animals and flowers and stars. They tried to be tidy and not drop their crayons or stick their stickers on the table. + +A man with a loud voice said that their plane was ready. Mom and Dad told Sara and Ben to pack their stickers and crayons and follow them. They walked to a gate, where they showed their tickets to another nice lady. The lady smiled and said they could go to the plane. Sara and Ben were very excited and held Mom and Dad's hands. + +They walked on a bridge that connected the gate to the plane. They saw the plane up close. It was very big and shiny. They went inside the plane and found their seats. They buckled their seatbelts and put their stickers and crayons in a pocket. They looked out the window and saw the airport. They saw their bags being loaded on the plane. They were happy that their bags were safe. + +The plane started to move and then to go very fast. Sara and Ben felt a funny feeling in their tummies. They heard the plane make a loud noise and then they saw the ground go away. They were flying in the sky! They clapped their hands and laughed. They said they liked flying and they wanted to improve their pictures with more stickers and crayons. Mom and Dad said they were proud of them and they hugged them. They said they would have a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. Sara and Ben smiled and said they loved Mom and Dad and they loved flying. +Sara was a daughter who liked to play outside. She had a ball, a bike, and a dog. She was happy when the sun was bright and the sky was blue. She did not like when it was dark and cold. + +One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, it is time to come inside. It is getting dark and cold. You need to eat and sleep." + +Sara said, "No, mom, I want to play more. I am not hungry or sleepy. Please, mom, let me play more." + +Sara's mom said, "No, Sara, you have to listen to me. It is not safe to play outside when it is dark and cold. There are bad things that can hurt you. Come inside now, or I will be angry." + +Sara did not listen to her mom. She was stubborn and naughty. She said, "No, mom, I don't care. I will play more. You can't make me come inside." + +Sara's mom was sad and angry. She said, "Fine, Sara, do what you want. But don't come crying to me when something bad happens to you. I will close the door and you will be alone outside." + +Sara's mom closed the door and left Sara outside. Sara did not care. She played with her ball, her bike, and her dog. She did not see the big shadow that came from the woods. She did not hear the growl that came from the shadow. She did not feel the teeth that bit her neck. She did not scream when the shadow dragged her away. She was not happy anymore. She was not safe anymore. She was gone. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big bow on the ground. It was red and shiny. Lily wanted to wear it in her hair. Tom wanted to use it as a belt. + +They both pulled on the bow. It was rough and hard. They did not want to share. They got angry and yelled at each other. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +Then they saw a dog. It was big and black. It ran towards them. It barked loud and showed its teeth. Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the bow and hugged each other. They did not want the dog to bite them. + +The dog stopped. It sniffed the bow. It liked the bow. It picked it up with its mouth. It wagged its tail and ran away. It did not want to hurt Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt silly. They were not angry anymore. They said sorry and smiled. They hugged again. They gave each other a kiss. They were friends again. They did not need the bow. They had each other. +Lily likes to play in the garden. She likes to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she sees a lizard on a rock. The lizard is green and has a long tail. Lily thinks the lizard is cute. + +"Hello, lizard!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The lizard does not say anything. It just blinks its eyes. Lily gets closer and reaches out her hand. The lizard runs away and hides under a leaf. + +"Come back, lizard!" Lily says. "Don't be scared. I won't hurt you." + +Lily looks for the lizard under the leaves. She finds it and picks it up gently. The lizard wriggles in her hand. Lily tickles its belly and makes it laugh. + +"Ha ha ha, you are a playful lizard!" Lily says. "You are my new friend." + +The lizard likes Lily too. It licks her nose and makes her giggle. Lily and the lizard have fun in the garden. They start a game of hide and seek. Lily counts to ten and the lizard runs away. Lily follows it and tries to find it. They are both happy. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She helped her mom dig, water, and weed the plants. Lily's favorite plant was the cauliflower. It had a big green leaf and a white head that looked like a flower. + +One day, Lily saw that the cauliflower was ready to pick. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, can I pick the cauliflower? Please, please, please!" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, Lily. You worked hard to raise it. But be careful, it might be heavy." + +Lily was very happy. She went to the cauliflower and pulled it out of the ground. It was heavy, but she lifted it up with both hands. She felt proud and strong. She carried it to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I picked the cauliflower! It's so big and white and pretty!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You did a great job, Lily. I'm so proud of you. You raised a beautiful cauliflower. We can cook it for dinner and share it with dad and Sam. They will love it too." + +Lily was very grateful. She thanked her mom and said, "I love you, mom. And I love the cauliflower. And I love the garden. And I love dad and Sam. And I love helping you." Her mom kissed her and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a wonderful helper and a sweet daughter. And I love the cauliflower too. And the garden. And dad and Sam. And helping you." They smiled and hugged and went inside to wash the cauliflower and get ready for dinner. +Tom likes to wash his hands. He likes the warm water and the bubbles. He likes to make shapes with the bubbles on the mirror. He sees his image in the mirror. He smiles and makes funny faces. + +One day, Tom finds a new soap. It is green and smells like grass. He wants to try it. He puts some on his hands and rubs them. He sees the bubbles are green too. He thinks they are pretty. He makes a green image on the mirror. He laughs and claps. + +But then, he hears his mom. She is coming to the bathroom. She is not happy. She sees the green image on the mirror. She sees the green soap on the sink. She sees the green water on the floor. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You made a big mess!" + +Tom feels bad. He did not mean to make a mess. He just wanted to wash his hands. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to try the new soap. It was green and pretty. I made a green image on the mirror. Do you like it?" + +Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She sees Tom's sad face. She says, "I know you like to wash your hands, Tom. But you have to be careful with the soap. It can stain the mirror and the sink. And you have to dry the floor. You don't want to slip and fall. Next time, ask me before you use a new soap, okay?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I will ask you next time. Can I help you clean the mess?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can, Tom. Thank you. You are a good boy. Come on, let's get a cloth and some water. And then, we can wash your hands again. With the white soap, this time." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to play in the leaves. + +"Let's make a leaf fort!" said Lily. + +"OK!" said Ben. + +They ran to the pile and started to move the leaves. They made a wall and a door and a roof. They crawled inside their fort. It was cozy and fun. + +But they did not see that someone had left a match near the pile. The match was still hot. It touched a leaf. The leaf started to burn. The fire spread to the other leaves. + +"Look! Smoke!" said Lily. + +"Fire! Fire!" said Ben. + +They were scared. They ran out of their fort. They saw a man with a big boot. He was a firefighter. He saw the fire. He stomped on the fire with his boot. He put out the fire. + +"Are you OK?" he asked Lily and Ben. + +"Yes, thank you!" they said. + +"That was a close call. You should never play with matches or leaves. They can burn. You could get hurt. Do you understand?" he said. + +"Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again." they said. + +The firefighter smiled. He gave them a sticker. It had a picture of a fire truck. He said, "This is for being brave and smart. You did the right thing by running away from the fire. And you learned a lesson. Fire is dangerous. You have to be careful." + +Lily and Ben thanked him. They put the sticker on their shirts. They felt proud. They also felt flexible. They decided to play something else. They saw a swing. They ran to the swing. They had fun. They did not play with fire again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big rocks and pretend they were mountains. Lily was very good at climbing. She could go up and down very fast. Ben was not so good. He was scared of falling. He climbed very slowly and carefully. + +"Come on, Ben, you can do it!" Lily shouted from the top of the rock. "It's not so difficult!" + +Ben tried to follow Lily, but he slipped and scraped his knee. He cried out in pain and sat on the ground. He felt sad and angry. He did not want to play anymore. + +Lily heard Ben cry and climbed down quickly. She ran to him and saw his knee. It was red and bleeding. She felt sorry for him. She took a tissue from her pocket and wiped his knee gently. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. "I'm sorry you got hurt. It was my fault. I should not have pushed you." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry and kind. He stopped crying and smiled a little. + +"It's okay, Lily," he said. "It was not your fault. You were just having fun. I was just scared. I'm not good at climbing." + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "You are good at many things, Ben. You are good at drawing and singing and telling jokes. You make me laugh. And you are good at being my friend. I like you, Ben." + +Ben hugged Lily back and said, "I like you too, Lily. You are good at climbing and running and playing. You make me happy. And you are good at being my friend. You are the best, Lily." + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They felt better. They decided to play something else. They found a swing and a slide and had fun. They forgot about the rock and the knee. They were happy. They were friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. One day, they saw a big cow in the field. They wanted to touch the cow and see how it felt. + +"Let's go and pet the cow," Tim said. "It looks so soft and nice." + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Mom said we should not go near the animals without her. They might be scared or angry." + +"Don't be a baby," Tim said. "The cow is friendly. Look, it is smiling at us. Come on, it will be fun." + +Tim ran towards the cow and Sam followed him. The cow saw them and got nervous. It did not like strangers coming close to it. It mooed loudly and kicked its legs. + +"Ow!" Tim cried. "The cow hurt me. It hit me with its foot. It is mean." + +Sam was scared and ran back to the house. He called for Mom and told her what happened. Mom came out and saw Tim lying on the ground. She was very angry and worried. + +"Tim, what did you do?" Mom said. "You know you are not supposed to bother the cow. It is not a toy. It is a living thing that needs respect and space. You could have been seriously hurt or worse. You are very lucky the cow did not hurt you more." + +Tim felt a lot of pain in his leg and his head. He also felt a lot of regret in his heart. He wished he had listened to Sam and Mom. He wished he had not been so foolish and rude. He wished he had been more generous and kind to the cow. + +He said sorry to Mom and to the cow. He hoped they would forgive him. He learned a hard lesson that day. He never tried to pet the cow again. +One day, a boy named Ben and a girl named Mia were playing in the park. They were best friends and liked to share their toys. Ben had a new vest that his mom gave him. It was blue and had a big star on it. Mia liked the vest and asked Ben if she could try it on. + +"Sure, you can try it on. But be careful, it is my new vest and I love it very much," Ben said. + +Mia put on the vest and felt very happy. She ran around the park and pretended to be a superhero. She did not see a big dog that was coming towards her. The dog was dangerous and liked to bite. It saw Mia's vest and thought it was a toy. It jumped on Mia and tore the vest with its teeth. + +Mia screamed and Ben ran to help her. He scared the dog away and hugged Mia. He saw that she was not hurt, but his vest was ruined. He felt very angry and sad. + +"Mia, you broke my vest! It was my new vest and you did not take care of it! I do not want to be your friend anymore!" Ben shouted. + +Mia cried and said she was sorry. She did not mean to break the vest. She did not see the dog. She wanted to be Ben's friend. + +"Please forgive me, Ben. I will buy you a new vest. Please do not be mad at me," Mia said. + +Ben looked at Mia and saw that she was very sorry. He remembered that she was his best friend and that she always shared her toys with him. He also remembered that the dog was dangerous and that Mia could have been hurt. He felt sorry for being angry and shouted at her. + +He hugged Mia and said he forgave her. He said he did not need a new vest. He said he was glad that she was safe and that he loved her. + +They smiled and played together again. They learned that friends should forgive each other and be kind. They also learned that they should be careful of dangerous things and stay together. They were happy and had fun. +Tom was a mighty boy who liked to play and run. He had a big toy car that he drove around the yard. He liked to make loud noises and pretend he was a racer. + +One day, he saw a new car in the street. It was shiny and red and had a siren on top. Tom wanted to see it up close. He ran out of the yard and into the street. He did not look for other cars. + +A big truck was coming fast. It did not see Tom. It hit him with a loud bang. Tom fell down and did not move. He was hurt very bad. + +The red car was a doctor car. It had people who helped sick and hurt people. They came out of the car and ran to Tom. They tried to help him. They put him on a bed and took him to the doctor car. They drove away with the siren on. + +Tom's mom and dad saw what happened. They were very sad and scared. They followed the doctor car to the hospital. They hoped Tom would be okay. + +But Tom was not okay. He was too hurt. The doctors could not fix him. He died. Tom's mom and dad cried a lot. They missed him very much. They wished they had not let him play in the yard alone. They wished they had stopped him from running into the street. They wished they had given him a surprise hug and kiss. They wished they had told him they loved him. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to travel with Mom and Dad. They go to many places and see many things. Sometimes they travel by car, sometimes by plane, sometimes by train. + +One day, they travel to a place where it is very cold. There is snow and ice everywhere. Anna and Ben are excited. They want to play in the snow. They put on their warm clothes, their hats, their gloves, and their boots. + +They go outside and see a big hill. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big sled. They climb on the sled and hold on tight. Mom and Dad watch them and smile. + +"Ready, set, go!" Anna says. She pushes the sled with her feet. The sled goes fast down the hill. Anna and Ben laugh and scream. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. + +But then, something bad happens. The sled hits a rock. The sled flips over. Anna and Ben fall off the sled. They land on the hard ground. They feel hurt. They cry. + +Mom and Dad run to them. They hug them and check them. They have some bruises and scratches, but nothing serious. They help them get up and take them inside. + +They give them some hot chocolate and some cookies. They put some bandages on their wounds. They tell them stories and jokes. They make them feel better. + +Anna and Ben stop crying. They smile and thank Mom and Dad. They say they are sorry for being careless. They say they still like to travel, but they will be more careful next time. Mom and Dad say they love them and they are proud of them. They hug and kiss them. They are a happy family. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. + +One day, their mom gives them a big egg. She says it is a surprise. She tells them to be careful with the egg and not to break it. She says she will come back soon. + +Sam and Tom are curious. They want to see what is inside the egg. They think it is a toy or a candy. They decide to drive their cars on the egg. They think it is fun. + +But the egg is not strong. It cracks and breaks. A wet and sticky mess comes out of the egg. Sam and Tom are shocked. They see a baby bird inside the egg. It is not a toy or a candy. It is a living thing. + +Their mom comes back. She sees the broken egg and the baby bird. She is sad and angry. She says they have hurt the bird and wasted the egg. She says they have been naughty and careless. She says they have to clean up the mess and say sorry to the bird. + +Sam and Tom feel sorry. They realize they have made a mistake. They say sorry to the bird and their mom. They help to clean up the mess. They learn to be gentle and respectful with animals and things. They promise to not drive their cars on eggs again. +Lila and Tom were playing with their sand toys on the shore. They liked to make castles and dig holes and look for shells. But then Tom saw a big wave coming and he got worried. + +"Look, Lila, a big wave!" he shouted. "It will wash away our castles!" + +Lila looked up and saw the wave too. She was not worried. She liked the waves. They made her laugh and splash. + +"No, Tom, the wave is fun!" she said. "Let's go and play with it!" + +She ran towards the water, dragging her bucket and shovel. Tom did not want to go. He was scared of the water. He wanted to stay on the shore. + +"Lila, no, come back!" he cried. "The wave is too big and too fast!" + +He ran after her, but he was too late. The wave reached Lila and lifted her up. She screamed and dropped her toys. Tom saw her disappear in the foam. + +"Lila, Lila, where are you?" he yelled. He was very worried. He wanted his sister back. + +He looked around and saw a man in a red suit. The man had a whistle and a big float. He was a lifeguard. He saw Tom and Lila and he blew his whistle. + +"Hey, kids, get out of the water!" he shouted. "It's too dangerous!" + +He ran into the water and grabbed Lila. He pulled her out and carried her to the shore. He put her down next to Tom. Lila was wet and cold and scared. She hugged Tom and cried. + +"Tom, Tom, I'm sorry!" she sobbed. "I was wrong. The wave was not fun. It was mean. It took my toys and it hurt me." + +Tom hugged her back and kissed her cheek. He was glad she was safe. He was not angry. He loved his sister. + +"It's okay, Lila, it's okay," he said. "I'm here. You're here. We're okay." + +The lifeguard smiled and gave them a towel. He told them to be careful and to stay close to their parents. He told them to enjoy the shore, but not to go into the water. + +"Thank you, mister," Lila and Tom said. They wrapped the towel around them and walked to their parents. They told them what happened and they said they were sorry. Their parents hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they were brave and smart and good. + +Lila and Tom felt better. They decided to play on the shore again, but not with the waves. They made new castles and dug new holes and looked for new shells. They had fun and they were happy. They learned a lesson and they never forgot it. +Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to sleep. + +Mama was worried. She gave Lily some medicine to make her feel better. She said, "This is good for you, Lily. It will help you stop coughing and cool your head. You have to drink it all." + +Lily did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She made a face and said, "No, Mama. I don't want it. It is bad." + +Mama was troubled. She knew Lily needed the medicine, but she did not want to force her. She said, "Please, Lily. Trust me. It is not bad. It is good. It will make you happy and strong. How about we make a deal? If you drink the medicine, I will read you a story. Your favorite story. The one with the princess and the dragon. Do you want that?" + +Lily loved that story. She wanted to hear it again. She looked at the medicine and then at Mama. She said, "Okay, Mama. I will try. But only a little bit." + +Mama smiled and said, "That's my girl. You are very brave, Lily. Here, I will help you. You raise the cup to your mouth and I will hold it for you. You drink a little bit and then I will drink a little bit. We will do it together. Ready?" + +Lily nodded and raised the cup to her mouth. She drank a little bit and made a face.

You are amazing. I am so proud of you. Now, let's go to your bed and I will read you the story. You will feel better soon, I promise." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mama. I love you." + +Mama said, "I love you too, Lily." +Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys and watch her favorite show. But Mommy said it was bedtime and turned off the light. + +"Please, Mommy, can I have a story?" Lily asked. + +"Okay, one story, but then you have to sleep," Mommy said. She sat on the bed and hugged Lily. + +"Tell me the story of the mirror," Lily said. + +"Alright. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to look at herself in the mirror. She liked to make funny faces and pretend she was a princess or a superhero. She had a lot of fun with the mirror. But one day, she broke the mirror by accident. She was very sad and scared. She thought the mirror would be angry with her and make bad things happen to her. She cried and cried and ran to her mommy." + +"What did her mommy do?" Lily asked. + +"Her mommy hugged her and told her not to worry. She said the mirror was not alive and could not hurt her. She said the mirror was just a thing that showed her how she looked. She said the most important thing was how she felt inside. She said she loved her no matter what. She said she would get a new mirror for her, but she had to be careful and not break it again. She said she should remember to be kind and brave and happy, because that was what made her beautiful." + +"Did the little girl feel better?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, she did. She said sorry to the mirror and thanked her mommy. She went to bed and had sweet dreams. She learned to be more careful with the mirror, but she still liked to look at herself and have fun. She remembered her mommy's words and tried to be a good girl. She was happy and beautiful." + +Lily smiled and yawned. She liked the story. She snuggled with her mommy and closed her eyes. + +"Good night, Mommy. I love you," she said. + +"Good night, Lily. I love you too," Mommy said. She kissed her forehead and turned off the lamp. She watched her sleep and smiled. She was proud of her daughter. She was happy and beautiful. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big stack of blocks. They can make houses, towers, bridges and more. They have fun with their blocks. + +But then, Mommy comes and says, "Time to bathe, kids. You are dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Lily and Max do not want to bathe. They want to play more. They say, "No, Mommy, no. We are not dirty. We are not smelly. We want to play." + +Mommy smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you. If you bathe, you can play with something new. Something brown and soft and fuzzy. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily and Max are curious. They want to see the surprise. They say, "Yes, Mommy, yes. What is it? What is it?" + +Mommy takes them to the bathroom. She fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She says, "Look, kids. This is your surprise. A brown teddy bear. You can bathe with him. He likes the water and the bubbles. He will keep you company." + +Lily and Max are happy. They love the brown teddy bear. They hug him and kiss him. They say, "Thank you, Mommy, thank you. He is so cute. We will bathe with him." + +They get into the tub with the teddy bear. They splash and laugh and wash. They have fun with the teddy bear. Mommy watches them and smiles. She is glad they bathe. She says, "You are good kids. You are clean and sweet. I love you." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big log near the fence. It was brown and rough. + +"Let's go see the log," Anna said. "Maybe there are some animals inside." + +"OK," Ben said. They ran to the log and looked at it. They saw a hole in the log. They peeked inside. + +"Wow, look!" Anna said. "There is a bird nest in the hole. And there are some eggs too. They are blue and speckled." + +"They are pretty," Ben said. "But we should not touch them. The bird mom might get angry." + +They heard a chirp from above. They looked up and saw a bird on a branch. It was blue and yellow. It had a long tail. It was the bird mom. + +"Hello, bird mom," Anna said. "We like your eggs. They are in the log." + +The bird mom looked at them. She did not seem angry. She seemed happy. She chirped again. + +"Thank you, children," the bird mom said. "I am glad you like my eggs. They will hatch soon. Then I will have baby birds. They will be blue and yellow too. And they will learn to fly." + +"That is amazing," Ben said. "Can we see them when they hatch?" + +"Of course," the bird mom said. "But you have to be quiet and gentle. And you have to wait until the flowers bloom. That is when my eggs will hatch. The flowers will tell me it is time." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They liked the flowers too. They saw some buds on the stems. They were green and round. + +"We will wait for the flowers to bloom," Anna said. "And we will come back to see your baby birds. We are your friends." + +The bird mom smiled. She flew down to the log and went inside the hole. She cuddled with her eggs. + +Anna and Ben smiled too. They waved to the bird mom. They were tired from playing. They went back to the house. They had a snack and a nap. They dreamed of the flowers and the birds. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park when it started to rain. They ran to find a shelter, but the only one they saw was a small hut near the pond. It looked old and dirty. + +"Let's enter the hut, Lily. It will keep us dry," Tom said. + +"I don't want to enter the hut, Tom. It is disgusting. It smells bad and there are spiders and bugs inside," Lily said. + +"But we have no other shelter, Lily. The rain is very strong and we will get wet and cold," Tom said. + +He pulled Lily by the hand and they entered the hut. They closed the door and sat on the floor. They hoped the rain would stop soon. + +But the hut was not a good shelter. It had holes in the roof and the walls. The water dripped on them and made them wetter. The spiders and bugs crawled on them and made them itch. The hut was dark and scary. + +"Tom, I don't like the hut. It is disgusting. I want to go home," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. I don't like the hut. It is disgusting. I want to go home," Tom said. + +They opened the door and ran out of the hut. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them in the car. They were happy to see them. + +"Mom, Dad, we entered a hut, but it was disgusting. It was wet and dark and full of spiders and bugs. We want to go home," Tom and Lily said. + +"Come on, kids. Let's go home. We have a warm and cozy shelter for you. It is not disgusting. It is clean and bright and full of love," Mom and Dad said. + +They hugged Tom and Lily and put them in the car. They drove away from the park and the hut. Tom and Lily felt safe and happy. They never wanted to enter the hut again. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play with their toy trains. They have a big track that goes around their room, with bridges, tunnels and stations. They have many trains of different colors and sizes, and they make them go fast or slow, loud or quiet. + +One day, Tim wants to play with Kim's red train, but Kim says no. She says it is her train and she does not want to share. Tim gets angry and tries to grab the train, but Kim holds it tight. They start to pull and push, and the train falls off the track. It breaks into two pieces, and the twins start to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken train and the sad twins, and she asks them what happened. Tim and Kim tell her their story, and Mom shakes her head. She says they should not fight over toys, and they should learn to share and take turns. She says toys are more fun when you play with them together, and they are more likely to break when you play with them roughly. + +She helps them fix the train with some glue, and tells them to wait until it is dry. She says they can play with the other trains, but they have to remove the broken one from the track, so it does not get in the way. She also says they have to smooth the track, so it does not have any bumps or gaps. She says a smooth track makes the trains run better, and a broken track makes the trains stop. + +Tim and Kim say they are sorry, and they hug each other. They thank Mom for helping them, and they promise to share and take turns. They remove the broken train from the track, and they smooth the track with their hands. They pick two trains that they both like, and they make them go around the track. They have fun playing with their toy trains, and they are happy. They learn that sharing is caring, and that fighting is not nice. +Tom and Mia like to swim in the sea. They see many fish and shells and rocks. They have fun in the water. One day, they see a big reef. It is very pretty and colorful. They want to go closer and look at it. + +"Come on, Mia, let's swim to the reef!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The reef is sharp and hard. It can hurt you." Mia says. + +They swim to the reef. They see many more fish and shells and rocks. They are happy and curious. They touch the reef with their hands. It feels rough and cold. + +"Look, Mia, I found a big shell! It is shiny and smooth. I want to take it home." Tom says. + +He pulls the shell from the reef. It is very heavy. He tries to lift it up. But he cannot. The shell is too heavy. He pulls harder and harder. He does not see the fish and shells and rocks. He only sees the shell. + +"Tom, stop! The shell is too heavy. You cannot take it. Let it go. It belongs to the reef." Mia says. + +But Tom does not listen. He pulls and pulls. He wants the shell. He does not hear Mia. He does not hear the water. He does not hear the crack. + +The reef breaks. A big piece of the reef falls on Tom. It hits his head. It hurts him. He drops the shell. He does not move. He does not breathe. + +Mia screams. She swims to Tom. She tries to lift the reef. But she cannot. The reef is too heavy. She cries and cries. She calls for help. But no one hears her. She is alone with Tom and the reef and the shell. She is sad and scared. The end. +Lily was a rabbit who loved to fly. She had a big balloon that she tied to her back. She would jump and hop and float in the air. She felt happy and free when she flew. + +One day, she saw a bird in the sky. She wanted to fly with the bird. She said, "Hello, bird. Can I fly with you?" The bird said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. There are many dangers in the sky. There are hawks and eagles and storms and planes. They can hurt you and pop your balloon." + +Lily was not worried. She said, "I am not afraid. I can fly fast and high. Nothing can stop me." She followed the bird and flew higher and higher. She saw the clouds and the sun and the stars. She felt proud and brave. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a plane. It was coming closer and closer. Lily was scared. She tried to fly away, but it was too late. The plane hit her balloon and popped it. Lily fell down and down. She screamed, "Help, help!" + +The bird heard her and flew down. He caught her in his wings and brought her to the ground. He said, "Are you okay, Lily?" Lily said, "Yes, I am okay. Thank you, bird. You saved me." The bird said, "You are welcome, Lily. But you were very foolish. You did not listen to me. You flew too high and too far. You risked your life for nothing. You should be happy with what you have. Flying is not for rabbits. It is for birds." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "You are right, bird. I was wrong. I was silly and greedy. I wanted to be like you, but I am not. I am a rabbit. I belong on the ground. I have a balloon, but it is not a wing. It is a toy. I should be careful and grateful. Flying is fun, but it is also dangerous. I learned my lesson. I will never fly again." + +The bird said, "I am glad you learned your lesson, Lily. I hope you will be happy and safe. You are a good rabbit. You have a good heart. You can still fly in your dreams. But remember, dreams are not real. They are only in your head. Reality is different. Reality is where you live. And you live on the ground." + +Lily nodded and hugged the bird. She said, "Thank you, bird. You are a good friend. You taught me a lot. I will remember your words. I will fly in my dreams, but I will live on the ground. I will be happy and safe. And I will never forget you." + +The bird smiled and flew away. He said, "Goodbye, Lily. Take care of yourself. And enjoy your balloon. It is a nice balloon. But it is not a wing. It is a toy." + +The end. +Ben and Lily wanted to cook something for their mom. They found some eggs, cheese, bread and butter in the fridge. They also picked some daisies from the garden. They put everything on the table and started to cook. + +"Let me crack the eggs," Ben said. He took an egg and hit it on the edge of the bowl. But the egg broke too hard and the shell and the yolk went everywhere. "Oops!" Ben said. + +"Ben, you are so messy!" Lily said. She took another egg and cracked it gently. She poured the yolk and the white into the bowl. "See, this is how you do it," she said. + +"But I can grate the cheese," Ben said. He took the cheese and the grater and rubbed them together. But the cheese was too tough and he could not grate it. He tried harder and harder, but the cheese only got smaller and smaller. "Ouch!" Ben said. He cut his finger on the grater. + +"Ben, you are so clumsy!" Lily said. She took the cheese and the knife and cut it into small pieces. She put them in the bowl with the eggs. "See, this is how you do it," she said. + +"But I can toast the bread," Ben said. He took the bread and the toaster and put the bread in the slots. He pushed the lever down and waited for the bread to pop up. But he forgot to check the heat and the bread got too brown and hard. "Oh no!" Ben said. + +"Ben, you are so silly!" Lily said. She took the bread and the butter and spread the butter on the bread. She cut the bread into triangles. "See, this is how you do it," she said. + +"But I can decorate the plate," Ben said. He took the daisies and arranged them on the plate. He made a smiley face with the petals and the stems. He was very proud of his work. "See, this is how you do it," he said. + +Lily looked at the plate and smiled. She had to admit that Ben did a good job with the daisies. She hugged him and said, "You are right, Ben. You are very good at decorating. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can we share the cooking?" + +Ben hugged her back and said, "Yes, Lily. I'm sorry I was messy, clumsy and silly. Can we share the daisies?" + +They put the plate on a tray and carried it to their mom. They said, "Surprise, mom! We cooked something for you. We hope you like it." + +Mom looked at the tray and saw the eggs, cheese, bread and butter. She also saw the daisies and the smiley face. She was very touched and happy. She said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very sweet and thoughtful. I love it." She kissed them and hugged them. She said, "You are the best cooks in the world." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many rocks. Ben wanted to climb the hill. He said to Lily, "Come on, let's go up the hill. It will be fun." + +Lily was scared. She said to Ben, "No, I don't want to go. The rocks are hard and sharp. They can cut us. We can play here on the grass." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He said, "You are a baby. I am not. I can climb the hill. Watch me." He ran to the hill and started to step on the rocks. He went higher and higher. + +Lily watched Ben from the grass. She hoped he would be careful. She saw him slip on a rock. He fell and hit his knee. He cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! I have a cut!" + +Lily ran to Ben. She saw blood on his knee. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I told you the rocks are hard and sharp. They can cut you. Let me help you." + +She took a tissue from her pocket and wiped his knee. She gave him a hug and said, "Don't cry, Ben. It will be better soon. Come on, let's go back to the grass. We can play there. It is safer and softer." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I am sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The hill was not fun. It was hard and hurtful. Let's go play on the grass." They walked back to the grass and played happily. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many fruits. Sara liked to pick the fruits and Ben liked to eat them. They always shared and said thank you. + +One day, they saw a new fruit on the tree. It was round and yellow and shiny. Sara wanted to pick it, but it was too high. She asked Ben to help her. Ben said, "OK, I will raise you up and you can get it." He lifted Sara on his shoulders and she reached for the fruit. + +But the fruit was not a fruit. It was a bee's nest. The bees were angry and came out of the nest. They buzzed and stung Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben screamed and ran to the house. They cried and hugged their mom. Mom put some ice on their stings and gave them some juice. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad taste. Next time, be careful what you pick. Not everything that looks good is good." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They drank their juice and felt better. They cuddled with mom and each other. They felt peaceful and safe. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. And I'm proud of you for sharing and being brave." They all hugged and kissed and went to sleep. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look for flowers and bugs. One day, they saw a big yellow flower. It was very pretty and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that flower!" Tom said. "It is so yellow and bright. I want to pick it and take it home." + +"No, Tom, you can't do that!" Lily said. "The flower is important. It is part of the park. If you pick it, you will hurt it and make it sad." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the flower and tried to pull it out of the ground. But the flower was very strong and did not come out. Tom pulled harder and harder. He did not notice the bee that was on the flower. + +The bee was angry. It did not like Tom. It thought Tom was trying to steal its food. It flew to Tom's face and stung him on the nose. Tom screamed and let go of the flower. He ran back to Lily, crying and holding his nose. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Tom said. "A bee stung me! Why did it do that?" + +Lily looked at Tom. She felt sorry for him, but she was also mad. She shook her head and said, "I told you not to pick the flower, Tom. The flower was important. The bee was protecting it. You should have listened to me. Now you have a big red bump on your nose. And the flower is still in the park, where it belongs." +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a lot of toys, like cars, dolls, and balls. + +One day, they decided to make a surprise for their mom. They took some of their toys and covered them with sand. They wanted to make a treasure hunt for her. They thought she would be happy to find them. + +But they did not know that their mom was very serious about the garden. She liked to grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables. She did not like to see sand on her plants. She worked hard to keep the garden clean and beautiful. + +When she came outside, she saw the mess that Tom and Lily had made. She was very angry. She scolded them and told them to clean up. She said they had ruined her garden. She said they were naughty and careless. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They did not mean to make their mom sad. They wanted to make her smile. They cried and said they were sorry. They helped their mom to uncover the toys and the plants. They promised to be more careful next time. They hugged their mom and said they loved her. + +Their mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said they could still play in the garden, but they had to respect her plants. She said they could make a treasure hunt in another place. She said she was proud of them for saying sorry and helping her. + +Tom and Lily were happy again. They learned a lesson. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They went to play in another part of the garden. They still had fun, but they were more careful. They hoped their mom would find their surprise later. They hoped she would like it. +Tom is a hunter. He likes to take animals from the forest. He has a big gun and a big bag. He is not kind to the animals. + +One day, he sees a rabbit. The rabbit is white and soft. Tom wants to take the rabbit. He points his gun at the rabbit. But the rabbit is creative. He has a plan. + +The rabbit says to Tom, "Please do not take me. I have a friend who is bigger and better than me. He is in that hole. You can take him instead." + +Tom is greedy. He thinks he can take two rabbits. He puts down his gun and his bag. He goes to the hole. He puts his head inside. + +But there is no rabbit in the hole. There is a skunk. The skunk is angry. He sprays Tom with a bad smell. Tom screams and runs away. + +The rabbit is happy. He takes Tom's bag and his gun. He gives them to the other animals in the forest. They are happy too. They thank the rabbit for being creative. They say, "You are a hero, rabbit. You saved us from the hunter." +Lily and Sam liked to pretend. They had a big box full of old clothes, hats, and toys. They used them to make up stories and play different roles. One day, they decided to pretend they were at the market. They put some fruits and vegetables in a basket and set up a table. Lily wore a scarf and a hat and pretended to be the seller. Sam wore a coat and a hat and pretended to be the buyer. + +"Hello, what do you have today?" Sam asked, looking at the basket. + +"I have apples, bananas, carrots, and potatoes. They are very fresh and tasty. Do you want to buy some?" Lily said, smiling. + +"Yes, please. How much are they?" Sam said, picking up an apple. + +"They are one coin each. But if you buy four, you get one free. That's a good deal, don't you think?" Lily said, holding up her hand. + +Sam nodded. He liked to count. He took out four coins from his pocket and gave them to Lily. He took four fruits and vegetables and put them in his bag. He was about to leave when he saw something shiny in the basket. It was a necklace with a big red stone. He liked shiny things. + +"What is that?" he asked, pointing at the necklace. + +"Oh, that's my special necklace. It's very old and precious. It was a gift from my grandma. She told me it has magic powers. It can make your wishes come true. But you have to be very careful with it. You can't lose it or break it or give it away. It's only for me." Lily said, taking the necklace and putting it around her neck. + +Sam felt a pang of envy. He wanted the necklace. He thought it would make him happy. He thought of a plan. He pretended to be nice. + +"That's a very beautiful necklace. You are very lucky. Can I see it closer?" he asked, moving closer to Lily. + +Lily trusted Sam. He was her friend. She nodded and leaned forward. Sam grabbed the necklace and pulled it hard. It snapped and fell to the ground. The red stone broke into pieces. Lily gasped and cried. Sam ran away with the necklace. + +Lily was very sad. She lost her special necklace. She lost her grandma's gift. She lost her friend. She picked up the pieces and hugged them. She wished she could fix them. She wished Sam would come back and say sorry. She wished she never pretended to be at the market. + +Sam was not happy. He had the necklace, but it was broken. It had no magic powers. It had no value. He felt guilty and ashamed. He hurt Lily. He hurt his friend. He wished he could undo what he did. He wished he never pretended to be at the market. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Don't take what is not yours. Don't hurt your friends. Be honest and kind. Pretend to have fun, not to harm. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a small house made of wood. It has a roof and a door and a window. They pretend it is their home. + +One day, they want to number the flowers in the yard. They take a paper and a crayon. They go to the flower bed. They see many flowers. They are red and yellow and purple and white. + +Lily says, "I will number the red flowers. You number the yellow flowers." Ben nods. They start to number. Lily writes one, two, three, four on the paper. Ben writes one, two, three, four, five on the paper. + +They look at each other. They smile. They say, "We are good at numbering!" + +They hear a loud noise. They look up. They see a big bird. It is flying over their small house. It has a long beak and big wings. It is black and white. It is a magpie. + +The magpie sees the paper and the crayon. It likes shiny things. It swoops down. It grabs the paper and the crayon in its beak. It flies away. + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They say, "Hey, that is our paper and crayon! Give it back!" + +They run after the magpie. They shout and wave their arms. But the magpie is too fast. It flies to the roof of a big house. It puts the paper and the crayon in its nest. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They say, "We can't get our paper and crayon back. The magpie is too high. The roof is too steep." + +They go back to their small house. They hug each other. They say, "It's okay. We still have each other. We are still friends. We can still play." + +They decide to play something else. They forget about the paper and the crayon. They have fun in their small house. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are adventurous kids. They like to explore the forest near their house. One day, they find a big cave. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's go in, Ben!" Anna says. + +"OK, but be careful, Anna. It might be dark and scary," Ben says. + +They hold hands and walk into the cave. They see some rocks and some bats. They also see a big pile of meat. It smells bad. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know, but it looks like someone's dinner," Ben says. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud roar. A big bear comes out of the shadows. It is angry. It thinks they want to disturb its meat. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouts. + +They run as fast as they can. They reach the cave entrance. They see their mom waiting for them. + +"Mom, mom, there is a bear in the cave!" Anna says. + +"A bear? Oh, you two are so adventurous, but also so silly. You should not go into strange caves. You could get hurt or lost," Mom says. + +She hugs them and takes them home. She gives them some cookies and milk. They are happy and safe. They decide not to disturb the bear again. +Lila has a robot toy that she loves very much. She plays with it every day and makes it talk and move. One day, she takes it to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a big pond with ducks and fish. She wants to show her robot the pond. + +She runs to the edge of the pond and holds her robot up. She says, "Look, robot, look at the water and the animals. They are so pretty and fun." But she is too close to the pond and slips. She falls into the water with her robot. She is wet and scared. She cries out loud. + +Her mom and dad hear her and run to help her. They pull her out of the pond and hug her. They say, "It's okay, Lila, it's okay. You are safe and we love you." They check her robot and see that it is wet too. They say, "Oh no, your robot is wet. It might not work anymore. We are sorry, Lila." + +Lila is sad and worried. She loves her robot and does not want it to break. She says, "Please, robot, please work. Please talk and move. I need you." She shakes her robot and tries to turn it on. But nothing happens. Her robot is silent and still. She cries more. + +Her mom and dad say, "Lila, we know you are sad, but maybe your robot can be fixed. We need to dry it first and then see if it works. We need to be patient and hope for the best. Can you be patient, Lila?" + +Lila nods and wipes her tears. She says, "Okay, I will be patient. I will dry my robot and wait. I hope it works. I hope it is okay." She hugs her robot and follows her mom and dad to the car. They drive home and put her robot in a warm and sunny place. They say, "Let's leave your robot here for a while and let it dry. Maybe it will work again soon. We will check on it later, okay?" + +Lila says, "Okay, I will wait. I will be patient. I love you, robot. Please work." She kisses her robot and goes to play with her other toys. She hopes that her robot will talk and move again. She hopes that her robot will be happy again. She hopes that her robot will be her friend again. +Tom and Lily were very hungry. They wanted to eat some food. They saw a big cooler in the park. They ran to the cooler and tried to open it. + +But the cooler was very hard to open. It had a lock on it. Tom and Lily pulled and pushed, but they could not open the cooler. They felt sad and angry. + +Then they saw a man coming. He had a key in his hand. He was the owner of the cooler. He looked at Tom and Lily and said, "What are you doing? This is my cooler. You can't open it." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They said, "We are sorry. We are hungry. We wanted some food." + +The man looked at the cooler. It was filthy. It had dirt and bugs on it. He said, "This cooler is not for food. It is for fish. I caught some fish in the lake. They are smelly and slimy. You don't want to eat them." + +Tom and Lily made a face. They did not like fish. They did not like smelly and slimy things. They said, "No, thank you. We don't want fish." + +The man said, "OK, then. Go away and find some other food. And don't touch my cooler again." + +Tom and Lily ran away. They learned a lesson. They should not try to open things that are not theirs. They should ask before they take. They should look for clean and yummy food. They hoped to find some soon. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. Lily wanted to make soup, so she turned on the faucet and filled a pot with water. She added some salt and pepper and stirred it with a spoon. + +"Look, Max, I made soup!" she said proudly. "Do you want some?" + +Max looked at the pot and made a face. He saw something floating in the water. It was a bug. A big, black, disgusting bug. He felt sick. + +"Yuck, Lily, there's a bug in your soup!" he shouted. "That's not soup, that's gross!" + +Lily looked at the pot and saw the bug too. She screamed and dropped the spoon. She ran away from the faucet and hid behind the table. + +"Mommy, mommy, there's a bug in the faucet!" she cried. "It came out with the water and went into my soup!" + +Mommy heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the pot, the spoon, the water, and the bug. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Max?" she asked. "Why did you turn on the faucet and make a mess? And why is there a bug in the pot?" + +Lily and Max came out from behind the table. They looked at mommy with big, sad eyes. + +"We're sorry, mommy," they said. "We were playing chefs and we wanted to make soup. But we didn't know there was a bug in the faucet. It was disgusting. We didn't mean to do it." + +Mommy sighed and shook her head. She turned off the faucet and threw away the bug. She cleaned up the water and the pot. She hugged Lily and Max and gave them a kiss. + +"It's okay, Lily and Max," she said. "I know you were just playing. But next time, please don't use the faucet without asking me. And please don't put bugs in your soup. They are not good for you. How about we make some real soup together? Would you like that?" + +Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They said sorry again and thanked mommy. They helped her make some real soup with carrots and noodles and chicken. They ate it with bread and butter and milk. It was delicious. They forgot about the bug and the faucet and the disgusting soup. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a cat in the garden. The cat is attractive. It has soft fur and green eyes. Tom and Lily want to pet the cat. + +"Hello, cat!" Tom says. "Can we be your friends?" + +The cat looks at Tom and Lily. It does not run away. It walks towards them. Tom and Lily are happy. They gather some grass and flowers. They make a crown for the cat. + +"Look, cat!" Lily says. "You are a king now!" + +The cat likes the crown. It purrs and rubs its head on Tom and Lily. Tom and Lily laugh. They hug the cat. + +"You are a good cat!" Tom says. "We love you!" + +The cat loves Tom and Lily too. They play together until it is time to go home. Tom and Lily say goodbye to the cat. They hope to see it again. The cat watches them go. It keeps the crown on its head. It feels special. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They run to the slide and take turns to go down. Whee! + +Then they see a new boy. He has orange hair and a blue shirt. He looks sad. He sits on a bench and does not play. + +Lily and Sam want to be nice. They go to the new boy and say hello. + +"Hi, I am Lily. This is Sam. What is your name?" Lily asks. + +"I am Max. I am new here. I don't have any friends," Max says. + +"That's okay. We can be your friends. Do you want to play with us?" Sam says. + +Max smiles. He nods. He says yes. + +Lily and Sam are happy. They welcome Max to the park. They show him the slide, the swing, and the sandbox. They have fun together. + +They are friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They are very happy. + +But then they see a big hill. It is icy and shiny. Tom and Sam want to slide down the hill. They think it will be fun. + +They tell their friend, Lily, to come with them. Lily is scared. She says the hill is too icy and steep. She says they might fall and hurt themselves. She says they should stay with the snowman. + +Tom and Sam do not listen to Lily. They say they are brave and strong. They say they will slide down the hill and have fun. They say Lily is silly and scared. + +They run to the hill and sit on a big piece of cardboard. They push themselves down the hill. They go very fast. They scream and laugh. + +But then they see a big rock. It is in their way. They cannot stop. They hit the rock and fly off the cardboard. They land in the snow. They are not laughing anymore. They are crying and hurting. + +Lily runs to them. She is worried. She helps them get up. She tells them they are silly and reckless. She tells them they should have listened to her. She tells them she is their friend and she cares about them. + +Tom and Sam are sorry. They say they are sorry to Lily. They say they are sorry to the snowman. They say they will not slide down the icy hill again. They say they will play with Lily and the snowman. + +They hug Lily and the snowman. They are friends again. They are happy again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big balloon tied to a bench. It was red and shiny and round. + +"Look, a balloon!" Anna said. "Let's play with it!" + +Ben nodded. He ran to the bench and grabbed the balloon. He pulled it down and held it in his hands. He smiled at Anna. + +"Pop!" he said. He poked the balloon with his finger. + +The balloon burst with a loud bang. Anna and Ben jumped and screamed. They dropped the balloon and ran away. They were scared and sad. + +A lady was sitting on the bench. She had tied the balloon to the bench. She was waiting for her friend. She heard the bang and saw the children run away. She was angry and surprised. + +"Hey, you!" she shouted. "Why did you pop my balloon? That was very foolish!" + +Anna and Ben stopped and turned around. They saw the lady on the bench. She looked mad. She pointed at them. + +"We're sorry, lady," Anna said. "We didn't know it was your balloon. We just wanted to play with it." + +Ben nodded. He felt bad. He touched his waist. He had a scratch from the balloon. + +"It hurt me," he said. "It was a mean balloon." + +The lady sighed. She saw the scratch on Ben's waist. She felt sorry for him. She knew they were just children. + +"OK, OK," she said. "I forgive you. But don't poke balloons again. They can be dangerous. And they are not toys. They are for decoration." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry again and thanked the lady. They went back to play in the park. They did not poke any more balloons. They played with the slide and the swing. They had fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they find a big hoop. It is red and shiny. + +"Look, a hoop!" Anna says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "What can we do with it?" + +Anna thinks. She has an idea. "We can roll it on the grass. Or we can jump through it. Or we can toss it in the air." + +Ben likes Anna's idea. He picks up the hoop. He tries to roll it on the grass. But the hoop is too big. It falls down. + +"Oops!" Ben says. "This is hard." + +Anna helps Ben. She holds one side of the hoop. Ben holds the other side. They roll it together. The hoop goes fast and far. + +"Wow!" Anna says. "This is fun!" + +They take turns rolling the hoop. They laugh and cheer. They have a good time. + +After a while, they get tired. They sit on a bench. They drink some water. They are sleepy. + +"I like the hoop," Ben says. "But I'm sleepy now. I want to go home." + +"Me too," Anna says. "But we can't take the hoop. It belongs to the park." + +They look at the hoop. It is still red and shiny. They are sad. + +"What can we do?" Ben asks. + +Anna thinks. She has an idea. "We can recommend the hoop to other kids. We can tell them how to play with it. Maybe they will like it too." + +Ben likes Anna's idea. He smiles. "That's a good idea. Let's do that." + +They get up. They find some kids. They tell them about the hoop. They show them how to play with it. The kids are happy. They thank Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They wave goodbye to the kids. They wave goodbye to the hoop. They go home. They are sleepy. But they are also proud. They have shared their fun with others. They have been good friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play on the beach. One day, they saw a big boat that took people to a small island. The island looked attractive, with many trees and flowers. Lily and Ben wanted to go there and explore. + +They asked their moms if they could go on the boat, but their moms said no. They said the island was too far and too dangerous for them. They said they should stay on the beach and play with their toys. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They thought their moms were mean and boring. + +They decided to sneak on the boat when no one was looking. They hid under a seat and waited for the boat to leave. They were excited and scared. They thought they would have a lot of fun on the island. + +But when they got to the island, they realized they made a big mistake. The island was not as attractive as it looked. It was full of bugs and thorns and snakes. They tried to find a nice place to play, but they only got hurt and dirty. They wanted to go back to the beach, but they did not know how. They started to cry and call for their moms. + +A man who worked on the boat heard them and came to help them. He was angry and worried. He said they were very naughty and foolish. He said they could have been lost or bitten or drowned. He said they should never touch things that do not belong to them. He said they should always listen to their moms. He took them back to the boat and to their moms. + +Lily and Ben were sorry and ashamed. They hugged their moms and said they were sorry. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would never touch things that do not belong to them again. They said they would always listen to their moms. Their moms were glad and relieved. They forgave them and hugged them back. They said they loved them and wanted them to be safe and happy. They said they could still play on the beach, but only with their toys and their moms. Lily and Ben agreed and smiled. They realized the beach was more attractive than the island. They realized their moms were not mean and boring, but kind and wise. They realized they were lucky to have them. They played on the beach and had a lot of fun. +Lily liked to learn new things. She liked to learn about animals, colors, shapes and numbers. She also liked to learn about flowers. She liked how they smelled and looked. She liked to pick them and give them to her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw many flowers there. She wanted to pick them all. She ran to the flowers and started to pull them out. She did not see the sign that said "Please do not pick the flowers. They are for everyone to enjoy." + +Mom saw what Lily was doing and stopped her. She said "Lily, you should not pick the flowers here. They are not yours. They belong to the park and to the people who come here. If you pick them, they will die and no one else can see them. That is not thoughtful. That is selfish." + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to be selfish. She wanted to be thoughtful. She said "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not know. I just wanted to learn about the flowers and give them to you. How can I be thoughtful?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said "You can be thoughtful by leaving the flowers here and looking at them with your eyes. You can also learn about them by reading books or asking questions. You can give me a hug instead of a flower. That is more thoughtful and more precious." + +Lily understood. She said "Thank you, Mom. I love you. You are very thoughtful too." She gave Mom a big hug and then they walked around the park. They looked at the flowers and learned their names and colors. They had a fun and thoughtful day. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of water on the grass. They wanted to have fun and splash in the puddle. + +"Let's have a race!" Tom said. "Who can get to the other side of the puddle first?" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But you have to say 'ready, set, go'!" + +Tom nodded and they stood at the edge of the puddle. "Ready, set, go!" he shouted and they both ran into the water. + +The puddle was deeper than they thought and they got very wet. Their shoes and socks and pants and shirts were all soaked. They laughed and splashed and tried to reach the other side. + +Lily was faster than Tom and she got there first. She turned around and saw Tom still in the water. "I win!" she said. "You are too slow!" + +Tom smiled and said, "You are very good at racing. But I don't mind. I had fun!" + +They climbed out of the puddle and shook their legs and arms. They felt cold and wet and sticky. They looked at each other and giggled. + +"Let's go home and get dry!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. "But first, let's give each other a jolly hug!" + +They hugged and smiled and walked home together. They were still wet, but they were happy. They were friends who liked to play outside. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things in the park. They saw birds, flowers, trees, and a big pond. They liked to look at the pond and see the fish and ducks. + +One day, they saw something new in the park. It was a deer. The deer was brown and had horns on its head. It was eating grass near the pond. Tom and Lily were very happy to see the deer. They wanted to get closer and touch it. + +They ran to the deer, but the deer was scared. It did not like loud noises or fast movements. It ran away from Tom and Lily. It ran across the pond and into the woods. Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to play with the deer. + +Mom came to Tom and Lily. She told them that the deer was wild and shy. She said they should not chase the deer or scream at it. She said they should be quiet and gentle if they want to see the deer again. She said the deer liked clean water and green grass. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They said sorry to the deer. They hoped the deer would come back to the park. They walked back to Mom and held her hand. They looked at the pond and saw the fish and ducks. They smiled. They still liked the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. Sometimes they would stop and look at the flowers and the bugs. They noticed many things. + +One day, they saw a big tree with red things on it. They ran to the tree and looked up. "What are those?" Lily asked. "They are apples," Ben said. "My mom told me. You can eat them. They are yummy." + +They wanted to try the apples, but they were too high. They looked for a stick or a stone to throw at the apples, but they could not find any. They saw an old ladder leaning on the fence. It was rusty and broken. "Maybe we can use that," Ben said. + +Lily was not sure. The ladder looked old and scary. She did not want to fall. "I don't know, Ben. It does not look safe. Maybe we should ask mom or dad first." + +But Ben was too curious. He wanted to taste the apples. He did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the ladder and dragged it to the tree. He put it against the trunk and climbed up. He reached for an apple. He did not notice that the ladder was wobbly and weak. + +Suddenly, the ladder snapped and Ben fell down. He hit the ground hard and cried out. Lily ran to him and saw that he was hurt. He had a big bump on his head and a cut on his arm. She was scared and sorry. She wished she had stopped him. + +She ran to the house and called for mom and dad. They came out and saw Ben on the ground. They were worried and angry. They picked him up and took him inside. They cleaned his wound and put a bandage on it. They gave him a hug and a kiss and told him to be more careful. + +Lily felt bad for Ben. She brought him an apple from the kitchen. She said she was sorry and that she loved him. Ben smiled and said he was sorry too and that he loved her. He said the apple was yummy, but not worth the fall. They hugged and ate the apple together. They learned their lesson. They decided to always ask mom and dad before they did something dangerous. They also decided to always notice the old ladder and stay away from it. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, she wanted to paint something new. She looked around her room. She saw her teddy bear, her ball, her books. She did not want to paint them. She wanted to paint something else. + +She saw her tooth. It was on her table. She had lost it yesterday. She was proud of her tooth. She wanted to paint it. + +She took her tooth and a brush. She dipped the brush in red paint. She painted her tooth red. She smiled. She liked her red tooth. + +But then, she heard a knock on the door. It was the tooth fairy. She came to take her tooth and give her a coin. + +"Hello, Lily," the tooth fairy said. "I am here for your tooth. Can I see it?" + +Lily was alert. She hid her tooth behind her back. She did not want to give her red tooth to the tooth fairy. + +"Sorry, tooth fairy," Lily said. "I do not have my tooth. I lost it again." + +The tooth fairy looked at Lily. She saw the red paint on her hand and on the table. She smiled. + +"Lily, I know you have your tooth. I can see the paint. Why did you paint your tooth red?" + +Lily felt shy. She showed her tooth to the tooth fairy. + +"I wanted to paint something new. I liked my tooth. I wanted to make it pretty." + +The tooth fairy nodded. She took the tooth and gave Lily a coin. + +"Lily, your tooth is very pretty. But you do not need to paint it. Your tooth is special because it is yours. And you have a new tooth growing in its place. That is also special. You can paint many things, but not your teeth. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She thanked the tooth fairy and said goodbye. + +She looked at her coin. She was happy. She decided to paint something else. She painted a picture of the tooth fairy and her red tooth. She was happy when she painted. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to jump on the sofa and make forts with the cushions. But they had to be careful not to make a mess, because Mom would be angry. + +"Look, Tom, I found a big cushion!" Lily said, holding a fluffy pillow. "Let's use it for our fort!" + +"OK, Lily, but we have to put it back later," Tom said. "Mom likes this cushion. She says it is special." + +They took the cushion and put it on the floor. They covered it with a blanket and made a cozy tent. They crawled inside and pretended they were camping. + +They had fun for a while, but then they heard Mom coming. They quickly got out of the tent and tried to fix the sofa. But they forgot something. + +"Where is my cushion?" Mom asked, looking at the sofa. "The one with the flowers and the lace?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They remembered the cushion. It was still on the floor, under the blanket. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. "We used it for our fort, Mom. We're sorry." + +Mom was not happy. She went to the floor and lifted the blanket. She saw the cushion. It was dirty and wrinkled. + +"This is not a toy, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "This is a gift from Grandma. You have to be gentle with it. You have to replace it on the sofa." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not mean to ruin the cushion. They took it from Mom and carried it to the sofa. They tried to smooth it and fluff it. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Tom said. "We won't do it again." + +Mom sighed. She was not too angry. She knew they were just playing. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"It's OK, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "I love you. But next time, use the other cushions. The ones that are old and lazy. They don't mind being jumped on." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. It is a hot day and the sun is bright. Anna has a hat, but Ben does not. Ben feels hot and thirsty. + +"Anna, can I have some water?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, Ben. Here, have my bottle." Anna gives Ben her water bottle. Ben drinks some water and says thank you. + +"Anna, can I have your hat?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben. This is my hat. You can't have it." Anna says. + +"But I'm hot. The sun hurts my eyes." Ben says. + +"Then find some shade, Ben. Look, there is a big tree over there. It has open branches and lots of leaves. It makes shade on the ground. You can sit under the tree and cool down." Anna says. + +"Okay, Anna. That's a good idea. Come with me." Ben says. + +Anna and Ben run to the tree. They sit under the open branches and enjoy the shade. They feel better and happier. They share the water bottle and the hat. They play with some sticks and stones. They have fun in the park. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the park. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were astronauts, sometimes they were lions. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, they decided to be lions and roar at the other kids. They hid behind a big tree and waited for someone to come by. When they saw a boy with a red hat, they jumped out and roared as loud as they could. The boy was scared and ran away. Lily and Ben laughed and high-fived each other. + +"That was so funny!" Lily said. "Let's do it again!" + +"OK!" Ben agreed. "You are a good lion, Lily. You are dependable. You always roar with me." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good lion too. You are dependable. You always roar with me too." + +They looked for another kid to scare. They saw a girl with a yellow dress. They sneaked up behind her and roared as loud as they could. The girl was scared and ran away. Lily and Ben laughed and high-fived each other again. + +"That was so funny too!" Ben said. "Let's do it one more time!" + +"OK!" Lily agreed. "But then we have to go home. It is getting dark." + +They looked for one more kid to scare. They saw a man with a big dog. They thought the man was a kid because he was small. They did not see the dog because it was black. They ran towards the man and roared as loud as they could. The man was not scared. He was angry. He yelled at them to stop. The dog was not scared either. It was angry too. It barked and bit Lily's lip. Lily screamed and cried. Ben was shocked and scared. He tried to help Lily, but the dog was too big and strong. The man pulled the dog away and apologized. He said he was sorry and he did not know they were playing. He said he would take Lily to the hospital. He said he would call their parents. He said they should not roar at strangers. + +Lily and Ben learned a hard lesson. They were not lions. They were kids. They should not scare people. They should be nice and polite. They should be careful and safe. They felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they never roared. They wished they played something else. They wished they had a good ending. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big cart that they could fill with blocks, dolls, cars and books. Sometimes they shared the cart, but sometimes they fought over it. + +One day, Lily wanted to push the cart around the house. She put her favorite doll and some books in the cart and started to walk. Ben saw her and felt jealous. He wanted to push the cart too. He ran after Lily and said, "Stop! That's my cart! Give it to me!" + +Lily did not want to give up the cart. She said, "No! It's my cart! I had it first! Go away!" She pushed the cart faster, but Ben was faster too. He caught up with her and tried to grab the cart. They both pulled and pushed the cart, making a lot of noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the cart. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, Ben, stop it! You are twins, you should share your toys. The cart is for both of you. Why don't you take turns pushing it?" + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom and felt sorry. They knew they were being mean to each other. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." They hugged and made up. They decided to share the cart and push it together. They put more toys in the cart and took turns pushing it around the house. They had fun and Mom was proud of them. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and imagine things. They imagined they were pirates, or astronauts, or superheroes. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they found a bench in the park. It was old and broken. But they imagined it was a spaceship. They sat on the bench and pretended to fly to the moon. They made noises like rockets and beeped like computers. + +"Look, Sam, we are on the moon!" Lily said. "We can see the stars and the earth!" + +"Wow, Lily, this is amazing!" Sam said. "We are the first kids to go to the moon!" + +They jumped off the bench and pretended to walk on the moon. They picked up rocks and sticks and imagined they were moon rocks and aliens. They laughed and played. + +But then, a big dog came. It was angry and loud. It barked and ran towards them. It did not like them playing on the bench. It thought they were bad. + +"Help, Lily, help!" Sam shouted. "The dog is coming!" + +"Run, Sam, run!" Lily shouted. "Back to the bench!" + +They ran to the bench and tried to climb on it. But the bench was too high and too fake. It broke under their weight. They fell to the ground. The dog bit them. They cried and screamed. + +A man came and took the dog away. He said sorry to Lily and Sam. He said they should not play on the bench. He said it was dangerous and fake. He said he would call their moms. + +Lily and Sam were hurt and sad. They did not want to play anymore. They did not want to imagine anymore. They wished they never found the bench. They wished they stayed home. They had a bad day. +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Sara had a tray with some plastic fruits and vegetables. Tom had a bowl with some dough and a spoon. + +"Look, I made a pie!" Tom said, showing Sara his bowl. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Sara said, smiling. She put her tray on the table and took a spoon. She scooped some dough from Tom's bowl and put it in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" Sara spat out the dough. "This is not a pie! This is just flour and water!" + +Tom laughed. "I tricked you!" he said. "It was a joke!" + +Sara did not think it was funny. She felt angry and sad. She picked up her tray and slapped Tom on the head with it. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "That hurt!" + +Sara did not care. She ran away with her tray, leaving Tom alone. + +Tom rubbed his head. He felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had been mean to Sara. He wanted to say sorry and make up with her. + +He got up and looked for Sara. He found her in the living room, sitting on the couch with her toys. She was still holding her tray. + +"Sara, I'm sorry," Tom said. "I was not honest with you. I should not have tricked you. It was not a nice thing to do." + +Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sincere. She felt a little better. + +"It's okay, Tom," Sara said. "I'm sorry too. I should not have slapped you. It was not a nice thing to do either." + +They hugged and forgave each other. They decided to play something else. They took their tray and bowl to the kitchen and washed them. Then they went to the backyard and played with their ball. They had fun and were happy again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play football in the park. They have a big ball and two goals. They kick the ball and run after it. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a slide. It is tall and shiny. It has a ladder and a slope. Tom and Sam want to try it. + +"Look, a slide!" Tom says. "Let's go!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "But we need to take our ball. It is ours." + +They run to the slide with their ball. They put the ball on the ground. They climb the ladder. They sit on the slope. They hold each other's hand. + +"Ready?" Tom asks. + +"Ready!" Sam says. + +They slide down. They go fast. They feel the wind. They laugh. They like the slide. + +They get up and run to the ladder again. They want to slide more. But they see a boy. He has their ball. He is holding it. He is smiling. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom says. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now!" the boy says. "I found it. It is a nice ball. It is big and thick. I like it." + +Tom and Sam are angry. They want their ball. They run to the boy. They try to take the ball. The boy holds it tight. He does not want to share. They push and pull. They shout and cry. They do not have fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They also liked to pretend they were animals. Sara was a cat and Ben was a dog. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I can climb the tree and catch the bird," Sara said. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I can run fast and dig a hole," Ben said. + +They chased each other and had fun. But then they saw a big boy with a ball. He was mean and rude. He kicked his ball at Sara and Ben and laughed. + +"Go away, you silly animals. This is my park. You are not welcome here," he said. + +Sara and Ben were scared and sad. They did not like the big boy. He was not nice. He hurt them with his ball. + +They ran away and hid behind a bench. They hugged each other and cried. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben. I am not okay. My head hurts and my heart hurts. I don't like the big boy. He is mean and rude," Sara said. + +"I don't like him either, Sara. He is mean and rude. He made us feel uncomfortable and unhappy," Ben said. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They knew they had something the big boy did not have. They had love. + +"Ben, you are my best friend. I love you," Sara said. + +"Sara, you are my best friend too. I love you," Ben said. + +They kissed each other on the cheek and held hands. They felt better and stronger. They decided to stand up and face the big boy. + +They walked to the big boy and knelt in front of him. They looked at him with kind eyes and said: + +"Hello, big boy. We are Sara and Ben. We are sorry you are angry and lonely. We want to be your friends. We have love. Do you want some love?" +Anna and Ben wanted to help Mom make dinner for Thanksgiving. They saw a big turkey in the oven. Mom said, "Do not touch the turkey. It is very hot and not ready yet." But Anna and Ben did not listen. They wanted to see the turkey. + +They waited until Mom went to the living room. Then they opened the oven door. The turkey smelled good. They tried to take it out with their hands. But the turkey was too heavy and too hot. They dropped it on the floor. The turkey broke into pieces. The juice spilled everywhere. Anna and Ben burned their fingers. They cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came back to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the turkey. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What did you do? You ruined the dinner. You did not succeed. You failed. You disobeyed me. You are in big trouble." She sent Anna and Ben to their room. They had no dinner. They felt very uncomfortable and sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. +Tim and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole," Tim said. + +"OK," Mia said. + +They crawled in the hole. It was dark and quiet. They felt something shiny and round. It was a medal. + +"Wow, look at this," Tim said. "It has a picture of a bird and a word. What does it say?" + +Mia looked at the medal. She knew some letters. She tried to read the word. + +"P-e-a-c-e," she said. "Peace. I think it means peaceful. Like when we are happy and not angry." + +"That's nice," Tim said. "Can I see it?" + +He reached for the medal. Mia did not want to give it. She liked the medal. She held it tight. + +"No, it's mine," she said. + +"Give it to me," Tim said. "I found it first." + +They started to pull and push. They forgot they were in the hole. They made a lot of noise. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bang. The hole was shut. Something heavy fell on it. They could not get out. They could not see anything. They could not breathe. + +They were scared. They cried. They wished they had shared the medal. They wished they had been peaceful. But it was too late. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man selling balloons of different colors. Ben wanted a red balloon and Lily wanted a blue one. Their mom gave them some money and they ran to the man. + +"Can we have a red balloon and a blue balloon, please?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, here you go. But be careful, don't let them fly away," the man said, tying the balloons to their wrists. + +Ben and Lily thanked the man and went to play with their balloons. They swung them in the air, bounced them on the ground, and pretended they were flying with them. + +But soon, Ben got bored of his red balloon. He looked at Lily's blue balloon and liked it more. He thought it was brighter and prettier. He wanted to have it for himself. + +He walked over to Lily and said, "Hey, Lily, can I have your blue balloon? I'll give you my red one." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, I like my blue balloon. It's mine. You have your own red balloon." + +Ben felt angry. He thought Lily was selfish. He didn't want to share with her. He grabbed her blue balloon and tried to pull it away from her. + +"Hey, stop it, Ben! That's not nice! Give it back!" Lily cried, holding on to her balloon. + +They both tugged at the blue balloon, but it was too strong. It slipped from their hands and flew up in the sky. They watched it get smaller and smaller until they couldn't see it anymore. + +They both felt sad. They had lost their blue balloon. They looked at each other and realized they had been silly. They should have been happy with what they had and shared with each other. + +They hugged and said sorry. Then they decided to play with their red balloon together. They learned that balloons are more fun when you share them with someone you love. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was a very intelligent girl and wanted to learn how to cook and clean. She would watch her mom work with the pots and pans, the stove and the oven, and the sink and the faucet. She would ask her mom many questions and try to copy what she did. + +One day, her mom had to go to the store and left Anna alone for a little while. She told Anna to be good and not touch anything in the kitchen. Anna said yes, but she was curious and bored. She decided to work in the kitchen by herself and make a surprise for her mom. + +She took some flour and eggs and milk and sugar and mixed them in a big bowl. She wanted to make a cake, but she did not know how to use the oven. She thought maybe she could cook the cake in the sink. She poured the batter into the sink and turned on the faucet. She hoped the hot water would bake the cake. + +But the water did not bake the cake. It made a big mess. The batter overflowed from the sink and spilled on the floor. The water splashed everywhere and made the kitchen wet. Anna tried to stop the faucet, but she did not know how. She started to cry and wished her mom would come back. + +Soon, her mom came back and saw the disaster. She was shocked and angry, but also worried about Anna. She turned off the faucet and hugged Anna. She asked her what happened and why she did not listen to her. Anna said she was sorry and wanted to make a surprise for her mom. She said she was intelligent and thought she could work in the kitchen by herself. + +Her mom sighed and smiled. She said she loved Anna and appreciated her help, but she also needed her to follow the rules and be safe. She said she was proud of Anna for being intelligent, but she also needed her to be wise and patient. She said they would clean up the mess together and then make a real cake in the oven. Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She learned a lesson and was happy to work with her mom. +Lena and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train set. The train set is a luxury. Their mom and dad gave it to them on their birthday. + +One day, Lena and Max are playing with the train set. They make the train go fast and slow, and make it stop and go. They have fun. But then, Max wants to make the train go faster and faster. He pushes the button hard. The train makes a loud noise and breaks. The wheels fall off and the engine stops. + +"Oh no!" Lena says. "You broke the train! Mom and dad will be mad!" + +"I'm sorry, Lena," Max says. "I didn't mean to break it. I just wanted to have more fun." + +Lena is sad and angry. She loves the train. It is dependable. It always works and makes her happy. She does not want to play with Max anymore. She takes her dolls and goes to the other side of the room. + +Max feels bad. He loves the train too. He wants to fix it. He tries to put the wheels back on and make the engine work. But he can't. He needs help. He looks at Lena. She is not looking at him. She is playing with her dolls. + +"Lena, please help me," Max says. "I'm sorry I broke the train. Can we fix it together?" + +Lena looks at Max. She sees that he is sorry. She remembers that he is her twin. He is her best friend. She decides to forgive him. She puts down her dolls and goes to Max. + +"Okay, Max," Lena says. "I will help you. But you have to be careful. Don't break the train again." + +"Thank you, Lena," Max says. "You are a good sister. I will be careful." + +Lena and Max work together. They find the pieces and put them back. They test the train. It works. It makes them happy. They hug each other and smile. + +They play with the train again. But this time, they are gentle. They make the train go fast and slow, and stop and go. They have fun. They share the luxury. They are dependable. They are twins. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big house with a red roof. They want to look inside. + +They go to the door and knock. No one answers. They try to open the door. It is locked. They look for a window. They find one that is open. They climb inside. + +The house is dark and dirty. There are many things on the floor. Some things are broken. Some things are old. Sara and Tom feel sad. The people who live here are poor. They do not have much. + +They hear a noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and angry. It barks at Sara and Tom. It runs to them. Sara and Tom are scared. They run to the window. They climb out. They run away. + +They do not go back to the big house with the red roof. They do not want to see the dog again. They do not want to see the poor things again. They seem sad and lonely. Sara and Tom are happy to have each other. They are happy to have their own homes. They are happy to play outside. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play outside on the lawn. The lawn is green and soft. They have a ball and a bike and a doll. + +One day, they see a big yellow truck on the street. The truck has a sign that says "Circus". Tim and Kim love the circus. They want to see the clowns and the animals and the tricks. + +They run to the truck and ask the man inside. "Can we go to the circus, please?" they say. + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, kids. But you have to perform for me first. Can you do something funny or amazing?" + +Tim and Kim nod. They want to go to the circus very much. They think of what they can do. + +Tim says, "I can ride my bike with no hands." He gets on his bike and pedals fast. He lets go of the handlebars and waves his arms. He looks very happy. + +Kim says, "I can throw my ball very high and catch it." She gets her ball and tosses it up in the air. She watches it go up and down. She reaches out her hands to catch it. + +But then, something bad happens. Tim loses his balance and falls off his bike. He lands on the lawn and hurts his knee. He cries out loud. + +Kim does not see Tim fall. She is looking at her ball. She does not catch it. The ball bounces on the street and rolls under the truck. She runs after it. + +The man in the truck does not see Kim run. He hears Tim cry and thinks he is done. He starts the engine and drives away. He takes the truck and the ball and the doll. + +Tim and Kim are left alone on the lawn. They are hurt and sad and scared. They do not go to the circus. They do not see the clowns and the animals and the tricks. They only see the yellow truck disappear. They wish they never met the man. They wish they stayed on the lawn. +Anna and Ben are twins. They go to school with Mom. Mom is a teacher. She teaches big kids about books and words. Sometimes, Anna and Ben sit in the back of the class and listen to Mom's lecture. They like to hear Mom talk, but they also get bored. + +One day, Mom has a long lecture. She talks and talks and talks. Anna and Ben try to stay awake, but they feel sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They lean on each other and close their eyes. They fall asleep on the chair. + +Mom does not see them sleeping. She is busy with the big kids. They ask her many questions. She answers them and writes on the board. She is happy that the big kids are interested in her lecture. + +After a while, the lecture is over. Mom says goodbye to the big kids and turns around. She sees Anna and Ben sleeping on the chair. She smiles and walks over to them. She gently shakes them and says, "Wake up, my sweeties. The lecture is over. How are you?" + +Anna and Ben open their eyes and stretch. They see Mom and hug her. They say, "We are fine, Mom. We are sorry we slept. Your lecture was good, but we were very sleepy." + +Mom kisses them and says, "It's okay, my loves. I understand. You are still little. You need more sleep than the big kids. Next time, you can bring a pillow and a blanket. Or you can play with your toys in the corner. Or you can read a book with me. Whatever you like." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best teacher. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, my darlings. Now, let's go home and have some lunch. And maybe a nap." +Ben was a shy boy who liked to play with his toy planes. He had many planes of different colors and sizes, but his favorite was a big steel plane that his dad gave him. He liked to make the plane fly in the air and pretend he was a pilot. + +One day, he took his steel plane to the park with his mom. He saw some other kids playing with balls and bikes, but he was too shy to join them. He found a quiet spot under a tree and started to fly his plane. + +"Wow, that's a cool plane!" a voice said behind him. Ben turned around and saw a girl with curly hair and a red dress. She was holding a yellow kite. "Can I see it?" + +Ben felt nervous and scared. He did not know the girl and he did not like to share his plane. He hugged his plane and said, "No, it's mine!" + +The girl looked sad and said, "OK, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be your friend. I like planes too. Do you want to see my kite? It can fly high in the sky." + +Ben looked at the kite and felt curious. He had never seen a kite before. He wondered how it worked. He said, "How do you make it fly?" + +The girl smiled and said, "It's easy. You just need some wind and a string. Come, I'll show you." She took Ben's hand and led him to an open field. She gave him the string and said, "Hold this and run with me." + +Ben felt a little brave and decided to try. He ran with the girl and the kite. He felt the wind in his face and the string in his hand. He saw the kite fly up and down and side to side. He felt happy and excited. He said, "This is fun!" + +The girl said, "Yes, it is! And you know what? You can fly your plane too. We can fly them together and make a show. What do you say?" + +Ben looked at his plane and then at the girl. He saw her friendly eyes and her big smile. He felt less shy and more friendly. He said, "OK, let's do it!" + +He took his plane and followed the girl. They flew their plane and their kite in the park. They made loops and turns and dives. They laughed and talked and played. They became friends. +Lily and Ben were excited to go to the park with Mom. They put on their hats and coats and got in the car. Mom drove for a while and then parked near a big field with swings and slides. + +"Come on, kids, let's have some fun!" Mom said. She took out a big blanket from the trunk and spread it on the grass. "This is where we can seat and have our picnic later." + +Lily and Ben ran to the swings and took turns pushing each other. They laughed and shouted as they flew high in the air. Then they slid down the slides and climbed on the monkey bars. They had so much fun! + +After a while, Mom called them to the blanket. She had a basket with sandwiches, cookies, and juice. Lily and Ben were hungry and thirsty. They seat on the blanket and ate and drank. Mom gave them each a hug and a kiss. + +"Did you enjoy the park?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we did!" Lily and Ben said. "Thank you for taking us here!" + +They smiled and cuddled with Mom on the blanket. They felt happy and warm. They loved the park and they loved Mom. +Lily was playing in the garden with her ball. She saw a small, black insect on a flower. She wanted to know what it was. She went closer and looked at it. + +"Hello, insect. What are you?" she asked. + +The insect moved its wings and made a buzz sound. It said, "I am a bee. I make honey from flowers. Who are you?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I am Lily. I like to play with my ball. Do you want to play with me?" + +The bee said, "I am sorry, Lily. I cannot play with you. I have to work with my friends. We have to collect nectar and pollen and take it to our hive. That is our home." + +Lily said, "Oh, I see. Can I see your home?" + +The bee said, "Maybe another day. It is far from here. But you can come and visit me again. I like to talk to you. You are very nice." + +Lily said, "Thank you, bee. You are very nice too. And you make yummy honey. Can I have some?" + +The bee said, "Sure, Lily. I will give you some honey next time. But you have to be careful. Some bees can sting you if you make them angry. That will hurt a lot." + +Lily said, "I will not make them angry. I will be gentle and kind. I do not want to hurt you or your friends. You are fine insects." + +The bee said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a fine girl. I have to go now. Goodbye, Lily." + +Lily said, "Goodbye, bee. See you soon." + +Lily waved to the bee as it flew away. She was happy to meet a new friend. She went back to play with her ball. She hoped to see the bee again. She wanted to learn more about insects. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their ball in the yard. One day, they see a big bug on the grass. It has many legs and a long tail. + +"Look, Tom, a bug!" Sam says. + +"Let's catch it!" Tom says. + +They run to the bug with their ball. Tom tries to strike the bug with the ball, but he misses. The bug runs away. + +"Too fast!" Tom says. + +Sam has an idea. He finds a stick on the ground. He holds the stick in his hand. + +"I can get it!" Sam says. + +He follows the bug with the stick. He swings the stick at the bug, but he misses too. The bug runs under a rock. + +"Too small!" Sam says. + +Tom and Sam look at the rock. They see a little hole under the rock. They think the bug is hiding in the hole. + +"Let's dig it out!" Tom says. + +They use their hands to dig the dirt around the hole. They make the hole bigger and bigger. They dig for a long time. They dig until they see something soft and furry in the hole. + +"Look, Sam, a bunny!" Tom says. + +They touch the bunny with their fingers. The bunny is soft and warm. It has two ears and a nose. It wiggles its nose and looks at them. + +"Hi, bunny!" Sam says. + +The bunny hops out of the hole. It runs to the grass. It eats some flowers. + +"Bye, bunny!" Tom says. + +Tom and Sam smile. They are happy. They forget about the bug. They play with their ball again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and got it back. + +One day, they saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was barking and growling. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They stopped playing and held each other's hands. + +"Let's go home," Tom said. "The dog is mean and loud." + +But the dog saw them and ran towards them. It wanted to play with the ball too. Tom and Lily trembled and screamed. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted to run away, but the dog was faster. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" + +A man heard them and came to the park. He was the dog's owner. He saw the dog chasing Tom and Lily. He called the dog's name and whistled. The dog stopped and ran back to the man. The man put a leash on the dog and said sorry to Tom and Lily. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He didn't mean to scare you. He just wanted to play. He's a friendly dog, really. He likes balls." + +Tom and Lily were confused. They did not think the dog was friendly. They thought the dog was mean and loud. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted to play with their ball. + +"Thank you, mister," Tom said. "But we don't like your dog. He's too big and too noisy. We like our ball. Can we have it back, please?" + +The man gave them their ball and smiled. He said goodbye and walked away with his dog. Tom and Lily hugged each other and ran home. They did not want to play in the park anymore. They wanted to play in their backyard, where there were no big dogs. +Tom and Mia are playing with a ball in the garden. They like to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball bounces away. + +One time, Tom throws the ball too high and it goes over the fence. Mia runs after it and sees that it is on the roof of the house next door. + +"Tom, the ball is on the roof!" she shouts. "How can we get it back?" + +Tom comes to the fence and looks up. He sees the ball on the roof. He also sees a ladder leaning against the wall. + +"Maybe we can use the ladder," he says. "But we have to be careful. The roof is high and the ladder is wobbly." + +He climbs over the fence and goes to the ladder. He starts to climb up, holding the ladder with one hand and the fence with the other. Mia watches him nervously. + +"Be careful, Tom!" she says. "Don't fall!" + +Tom reaches the top of the ladder and sees the ball. He stretches his hand to grab it, but he loses his balance. He drops the ladder and the fence and falls to the ground. + +"Tom!" Mia screams. "Are you okay?" + +Tom lands on the grass and rolls over. He feels a pain in his arm and his leg, but he is not badly hurt. He sees the ball rolling down the roof and landing next to him. + +"I'm okay, Mia," he says. "I got the ball." + +He picks up the ball and smiles. He also sees a cat on the roof, looking at him with curious eyes. The cat is harmless and does not mind the ball. + +"Look, Mia, a cat!" he says. "It was watching us." + +Mia climbs over the fence and runs to Tom. She hugs him and checks his arm and his leg. + +"I'm glad you're okay, Tom," she says. "But don't do that again. It was too dangerous. Let's go back to our garden and play with the ball." + +They go back to their garden and play with the ball. They are more careful and do not throw it too high. They also wave to the cat on the roof, who waves back with its tail. +Tom and Lily liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they used as a theater. They made puppets out of socks and sticks. They put on shows for their mom and dad. They had fun. + +One day, they decided to make a new show. They wanted to make a show about animals. They looked for things to use as costumes. They found some paint and brushes in the garage. They thought they could paint themselves as animals. + +They took the paint and brushes to the bathroom. They locked the door. They started to paint each other. Tom painted Lily as a zebra. He made black and white stripes on her face and body. Lily painted Tom as a lion. She made yellow and brown spots on his face and mane. They looked at each other and laughed. They thought they looked like real animals. + +They heard their mom knock on the door. She asked them what they were doing. They said they were making a show. She asked them to open the door. They said no. They wanted to surprise her. She said okay. She said she would wait for them in the living room. + +They finished painting each other. They put on their puppets. They were ready to go to the theater. They opened the door. They ran to the living room. They shouted, "Surprise!" + +Their mom saw them. She was not happy. She was angry. She said, "What have you done? You have made a mess! You have ruined your clothes and the bathroom! You have used paint that is not for skin! It is hard to wash off! It can make you sick! You have to bathe right now!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They did not know the paint was bad. They just wanted to make a show. They started to cry. They said they were sorry. + +Their mom took them to the bathroom. She tried to wash off the paint. It was hard. It hurt. Tom and Lily cried more. They did not feel comfortable. They did not feel like animals. They felt like bad kids. + +They did not get to go to the theater. They did not get to make a show. They did not have fun. They had a bad day. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play dress-up with their toys. Sara has a doll and Tom has a bear. They put on hats and scarves and shoes for their toys. + +"Look at my doll," Sara says. "She has a pink hat and a purple scarf. She is very attractive." + +"I like your doll," Tom says. "But my bear is more attractive. He has a blue hat and a green scarf. He has a lot of style." + +Sara and Tom start to argue. They think their toys are the best. They do not want to share their hats and scarves and shoes. + +"Give me your hat," Sara says. "It matches my scarf." + +"No, it is my hat," Tom says. "It is for my bear." + +"Give me your shoes," Tom says. "They are nicer than mine." + +"No, they are my shoes," Sara says. "They are for my doll." + +Sara and Tom pull and tug. They make their toys fall. They make their hats and scarves and shoes fall. They make a big mess. + +They stop and look. They feel sad. They hurt their toys. They hurt their feelings. + +"I am sorry," Sara says. "I was mean to you and your bear." + +"I am sorry, too," Tom says. "I was mean to you and your doll." + +They hug and say sorry. They pick up their toys. They pick up their hats and scarves and shoes. They decide to share. + +They put on different hats and scarves and shoes for their toys. They make new combinations. They have fun. + +"Look at our toys," Sara says. "They are all attractive. They have different styles." + +"Yes, they are," Tom says. "They are the best. Just like us." + +They smile and play. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. It is red and wide. Lily and Tom want to go on the slide. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. They go fast and slow. They like the slide. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and black. It barks and runs to the slide. Lily and Tom are scared. They do not like the dog. + +They climb up the slide. They stay on the top. They hold each other. They hope the dog will go away. They do not want to go down. + +The dog jumps and tries to reach them. It is angry and mean. It wants to bite them. Lily and Tom cry. They want help. + +Then, they see a man. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. He says sorry. He puts a leash on the dog. He takes the dog away. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They are safe. They hug each other. They say thank you to the man. They go down the slide. They play some more. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the yard. They find a lot of junk in the yard. They see cans, bottles, boxes and papers. They think the junk is fun. + +"Look, Lily, I have a can. I can make a noise with it." Tom says. He bangs the can on the ground. + +"I have a bottle. I can fill it with water. I can make a fountain with it." Lily says. She fills the bottle from the hose and squeezes it. + +They laugh and play with the junk. They make a pile of junk. They pretend it is a castle. + +But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing? This is not a castle. This is junk. Junk is dirty and bad. Junk does not grow. Junk does not belong in the yard. You have to clean up the junk." Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They like the junk. They think the junk is friendly. + +"Mom, please, can we keep the junk? We like the junk. The junk is our friend. The junk makes us happy." Tom says. + +"Mom, please, can we grow the junk? We can water the junk. We can plant the junk. Maybe the junk will grow flowers and fruits. Maybe the junk will be beautiful." Lily says. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not understand. She does not like the junk. She wants the yard to be clean and green. + +"No, Tom, no, Lily, you cannot keep the junk. You cannot grow the junk. The junk is not your friend. The junk is not beautiful. The junk is trash. You have to throw away the junk. Now, come on, help me clean up the yard." Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are very sad. They have to say goodbye to the junk. They have to put the junk in the bin. They have to leave the yard. + +They wish the junk could stay. They wish the junk could grow. They wish the junk could be their friend. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. Lily has a big box of blocks, and Ben has a small bag of blocks. Lily feels happy because she has more blocks than Ben. + +"Look at my tower, Ben!" Lily says. "It is very tall and strong. It has many colors and shapes. It is better than your tower." + +Ben feels sad because Lily is not nice to him. He looks at his tower, which is very small and weak. It has few colors and shapes. He wishes he had more blocks like Lily. + +"Lily, can I have some of your blocks?" Ben asks. "Please, Lily, I want to make my tower bigger and better." + +Lily feels angry because Ben wants her blocks. She does not want to share with him. She thinks he is greedy and silly. + +"No, Ben, you cannot have my blocks!" Lily shouts. "They are mine, mine, mine! Go away, Ben, or I will knock down your tower!" + +Lily is very loud, and her shout makes Ben feel scared. He does not like to fight with Lily. He likes to play with her.

Lila shouts. + +They pull harder and harder. Then, the car flies out of their hands. It hits the wall. It breaks into pieces. The car is gone. + +Lila and Sam stop. They look at the car. They look at each other. They feel sad. + +They drop their dolls. They run to their mom. They cry. + +"Mom, we broke the car!" Lila says. + +"Mom, we are sorry!" Sam says. + +Mom hugs them tight.

They see a big table with many cars and trucks. They want to play with them. They ask their moms if they can. + +"Okay, but you have to be very quiet," their moms say. "The library is not a place for noisy games." + +Lila and Tom nod. They take some cars and trucks and go to a corner. They start to play with them. But they forget to be quiet. They make them zoom on the table, on the floor, on the chairs. They make loud noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +"Shh, shh, shh!" a lady says. She is the librarian. She has glasses and a stern face. She does not like noise. She comes to Lila and Tom. "You have to be quiet in the library," she says. "You are disturbing the other people. If you want to play with cars and trucks, you have to go outside." + +Lila and Tom feel sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They say sorry to the lady. They put the cars and trucks back on the table. They take their moms' hands and go outside. Outside, they see a big park with grass and trees and swings and slides. The park is very lively. There are many children and dogs and birds.

He stands on a chair and reaches for the jar. + +"Tom, no!" Sue says. "Salt is not good to eat. It is bitter and makes you thirsty." + +But Tom does not listen. He opens the jar and puts some salt in his mouth. He makes a face and spits it out. "Yuck!" he says. "Sue, you are right. Salt is bitter and bad." + +Sue laughs and gives him a glass of water. "Here, drink this. It will help you feel better." + +Tom drinks the water and says thank you. He puts the jar back on the table and gets down from the chair. He and Sue go to play with their toys. They do not touch the salt again. They have learned their lesson. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play outside. She had a big yard with many flowers and trees. She loved to smell the roses, touch the grass, and watch the birds. But there was one thing she wanted to do more than anything: she wanted to see the distant mountain. + +The distant mountain was very big and very far. Lily could only see it when the sky was clear and blue. She wondered what it was like to be on the mountain, to feel the snow, to hear the wind, to see the stars. She asked her mom and dad if they could go to the mountain, but they always said no. They said it was too far, too cold, too dangerous. They said Lily was too small, too young, too curious. + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted to try. She wanted to see the mountain for herself. So one day, when her mom and dad were busy, she put on her coat, her hat, her boots, and her backpack. She took some snacks, some water, some toys, and some books. She said goodbye to her dog, her cat, her fish, and her doll. She opened the gate and walked out of the yard. She followed the road that led to the distant mountain. + +She walked and walked and walked. She saw many things on the way: cars, trucks, buses, bikes, people, animals, houses, shops, signs, lights. She said hello to some of them, but most of them did not notice her. They were too big, too fast, too busy. They did not care about the distant mountain. They did not care about Lily. + +She walked and walked and walked. She began to feel tired, hungry, thirsty, cold, scared. She looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. She looked at the road and saw that it was getting empty. She looked at the mountain and saw that it was getting closer. But it was still very far. She wondered if she would ever reach it. She wondered if she would ever go back. She wondered if her mom and dad would ever find her. She wished she had listened to them. She wished she had not tried. She wished she had stayed in her yard. But it was too late. She was lost. She was alone. She was in trouble. And the distant mountain did not care. +Sara and Ben love to surf. They have big boards and wet suits. They go to the beach with Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad sit on the sand and watch them. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a big wave. They want to surf on it. They paddle fast and stand on their boards.

They run into the water and help them. They hug them and say, "Are you OK? We are here for you. Don't worry." + +Sara and Ben are happy to see Mom and Dad. They say, "We are sorry. We were silly. We should not surf on big waves. We should listen to you and be careful." + +Mom and Dad say, "We are glad you are OK. We love you. We are proud of you for trying new things. But you should also be safe and smart. You should surf on small waves and stay close to us." + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "Yes, you are right. We will do that next time. Thank you for helping us." + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "You are welcome. Come on, let's go and find your boards and wet suits. They are probably on the shore. We can wash them and make them clean." + +Sara and Ben follow Mom and Dad. They find their boards and wet suits. They wash them and make them clean. They put them in the car and go home. They are happy and tired. They learned a lesson. They learned to surf safely and respect the sea. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. But one day, they have a big fight. Anna wants to play with the pink doll, and Ben wants to play with the blue car. They do not want to share. They yell and cry and push each other. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, you are being very bad. You need to unite and be nice to each other. Sharing is caring. If you do not unite, you will have to take a nap." + +Anna and Ben do not want to take a nap. They want to play. They look at each other and say sorry. They hug and make up. They decide to share the doll and the car. They unite and play together. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's better. You are being good friends. You can play for a little longer, and then you can take a nap together. Naps are good for you. They make you feel normal and happy." + +Anna and Ben agree. They play for a little longer, and then they go to their beds. They cuddle with their toys and close their eyes. They take a nap and dream of more fun. They are normal and happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna has news for Ben. She runs to his house and knocks on the door. + +"Ben, Ben, come out and play!" Anna says. + +"Hi, Anna. What do you want to play?" Ben asks. + +"I have news for you. Guess what?" Anna says. + +"What is it?" Ben says. + +Anna smiles and says, "My mom is going to give me a baby sister. She has a big belly now. She told me this morning." + +"Wow, that is good news. I am happy for you, Anna. When will the baby come?" Ben says. + +"I don't know. Mom says soon. She says I will be a big sister and I can help her with the baby. I am excited." Anna says. + +"Can I see your mom's big belly?" Ben says. + +"Sure, come with me. She is at home. She is resting on the couch. She says she is tired." Anna says. + +They go to Anna's house and see her mom. She is old and has gray hair. She smiles when she sees them. + +"Hello, Anna. Hello, Ben. Do you want to say hello to the baby?" She says. + +"Yes, please." Anna and Ben say. + +They touch her belly gently and feel the baby move. They giggle and say, "Hi, baby. We can't wait to meet you." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the rope that hung from a big tree. They took turns to push each other and laugh. + +One day, a grumpy man came to the park. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked at the rope and said, "This is my rope. I need it for my work. You can't play with it." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They did not want to give him the rope. They said, "No, this is our rope. We play with it every day. It is not yours." + +The man got angry. He tried to grab the rope from the tree. But the rope was tied very well. He could not pull it down. He said, "Give me the rope, or I will call the police." + +Tom and Lily did not like the man. They did not believe him. They thought he was lying. They said, "You are not nice. You are grumpy. Go away." + +Then, they saw a woman walking towards them. She had a badge and a radio. She was a police officer. They recognized her. She was their friend. She often came to the park to say hello and give them stickers. + +The woman saw the man and the rope. She said, "What is going on here? Who are you? Why are you bothering these children?" + +The man was scared. He knew he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I thought this was my rope. I'll go now." + +The woman said, "No, you won't. You stay here. I need to talk to you. You can't take things that don't belong to you. You can't threaten children. You are in trouble." + +The woman took the man to her car. She said to Tom and Lily, "You did a good job. You were brave and smart. You did not let him take your rope. You are safe now." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They thanked the woman. They said, "You are nice. You are our friend. We like you." + +The woman smiled back. She said, "You are welcome. I like you too. You can keep playing with your rope. Have fun." + +Tom and Lily hugged the woman. They went back to the rope. They swung and laughed. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. They saw a big yellow flower that was very pretty. + +"Can I smell it?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be smelly," Tom said. + +Lily went close to the flower and sniffed it. She made a funny face and said, "Ew, it is smelly! It smells like a dirty sock!" + +Tom laughed and said, "I told you so! That is a stinky flower. It is called a skunk flower. It makes a bad smell to keep away bugs and animals." + +Lily did not like the skunk flower. She ran away from it and looked for another flower. She found a small pink flower that smelled sweet and nice. + +"This is a good flower. It smells like candy," Lily said. + +Tom joined her and smelled the pink flower. He agreed that it was a good flower. He said, "This is a rose. It is my mom's favorite flower. She has a lot of them in her vase." + +Lily and Tom picked some roses and gave them to Tom's mom. She was very happy and thanked them. She said, "You are very sweet and thoughtful. I love roses. They remind me of my grandma. She used to grow them in her garden." + +Lily and Tom smiled and hugged Tom's mom. They were glad that they made her happy. They remembered the skunk flower and the rose. They learned that different flowers have different smells and meanings. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They decide to march up the hill. They hold hands and say, "One, two, one, two." They feel strong and brave. They see birds and flowers and rocks on the way. + +But when they get to the top of the hill, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown and has sharp teeth. The dog barks at them. Lily and Ben are scared. They stop marching and look at each other. + +They have to make a choice. They can run away from the dog, or they can try to be friends with the dog. They think hard. They want to be kind, but they also want to be safe. + +They decide to be serious. They say, "Hello, dog. We are Lily and Ben. We are not here to hurt you. We are here to play. Can we play with you?" + +The dog stops barking. He wags his tail. He likes Lily and Ben. He licks their faces and lets them pet him. He is a good dog. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the dog on the hill. They forget about the other side. They have fun. They decide to come back tomorrow. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big wire fence. They want to climb it. + +"Look, Ben, a wire fence!" Lily says. "Let's climb it and see what is on the other side." + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The wire might hurt you," Ben says. + +They go to the fence and start to climb. Lily is faster than Ben. She reaches the top and looks over. She sees a bald man with a big dog. + +"Hello, little girl," the bald man says. "What are you doing on my fence?" + +Lily is scared. She does not like the bald man or his dog. She wants to go back to Ben. + +"Sorry, sir, we were just playing. We did not mean to bother you," Lily says. + +She tries to climb down, but the wire is sharp. It cuts her hand. She cries out. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The wire hurt me!" + +Ben hears Lily cry. He climbs up to help her. + +"Lily, are you OK? Let me see your hand," Ben says. + +He sees the blood on her hand. He is worried. + +"Lily, you need a band-aid. Come on, let's go find Mommy," Ben says. + +He helps Lily down from the fence. They run away from the bald man and his dog. They find their mommy on a bench. She sees their faces and hugs them. + +"What happened, my darlings?" Mommy asks. + +"We climbed a wire fence and Lily got hurt," Ben says. + +Mommy looks at Lily's hand. She takes out a band-aid from her purse and puts it on Lily's wound. + +"There, there, it's OK. The band-aid will make it better," Mommy says. + +She kisses Lily's hand and Ben's cheek. + +"Thank you, Mommy. You are the best," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Mommy says. + +They smile and hug. They do not want to climb the wire fence again. They want to play somewhere else. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. One night, they saw the moon. It was big and bright and round. Tom said, "I want to go to the moon. It looks fun." Sue said, "Me too. Let's promise to go to the moon together one day." + +They made a pinky promise and smiled. They went to bed and dreamed of the moon. + +The next day, Tom was sick. He had a fever and a cough. He could not play outside. He stayed in bed and felt sad. Sue came to visit him. She brought him a toy rocket and a card. She said, "I hope you get healthy soon. I miss you. We will go to the moon when you are better." + +Tom smiled and hugged her. He said, "Thank you. You are a good friend. I promise to get healthy soon." + +But Tom did not get healthy soon. He got worse. He had to go to the hospital. He had a big needle and a mask. He could not talk or smile. Sue could not see him. She cried and prayed. She said, "Please, please, let Tom get healthy. Please, please, let us go to the moon." + +But Tom did not get healthy. He died. He went to the sky. He did not go to the moon. Sue was very sad. She broke her promise. She did not go to the moon. She looked at the moon and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I miss you. I love you." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they want to go outside and see the garden. + +One day, they see the sun shining and the birds singing. They want to go outside and play. They run to the door and try to open it. But the door is locked. They do not know how to unlock it. They see a knob on the door. They think the knob can open the door. + +Lily and Ben take turns to turn the knob. They turn it left and right and up and down. But nothing happens. The door does not open. They are confused. They do not understand why the knob does not work. They start to cry. + +Mom hears them crying. She comes to their room. She sees them trying to turn the knob. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "That is not a knob, that is a handle. The knob is on the other side of the door. You need a key to turn the knob and unlock the door. I have the key. Do you want to go outside and play?" + +Lily and Ben nod and smile. They say, "Yes, please!" Mom takes the key and turns the knob. The door opens. Lily and Ben run outside and play. They are happy. They forget about the knob and the handle. They only want to have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to Ben's house. Ben has many toys. He has cars, trains, dolls, balls, and puzzles. Anna likes puzzles. She asks Ben, "Can I play with your puzzle?" + +Ben says, "No, this is my puzzle. You cannot play with it. You can play with that doll." He points to a doll with a torn dress and a missing eye. + +Anna feels sad. She does not like the doll. She says, "But I want to play with the puzzle. It looks fun. Please, can I play with it?" + +Ben says, "No, no, no. The puzzle is mine. Go away. You are not my friend." He pushes Anna away. + +Anna cries. She runs to Ben's mom. She tells her what Ben did. Ben's mom is angry. She says, "Ben, you are a spoiled boy. You have to share your toys with Anna. She is your friend. You have to be nice to her. Say you are sorry." + +Ben does not want to say he is sorry. He likes his puzzle. He does not want to share it. He says, "No, I am not sorry. I do not care." + +Ben's mom says, "Then you cannot play with your puzzle. You have to go to your room. You have to think about what you did. Maybe then you will be sorry." + +She takes the puzzle from Ben. She gives it to Anna. She says, "Anna, you can play with the puzzle. I am sorry Ben was mean to you. He will learn his lesson." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben's mom. You are very nice. Can I stay and play with the puzzle?" + +Ben's mom says, "Of course, you can. You are welcome here. You are a good friend." + +Anna plays with the puzzle. She has fun. She makes a picture of a dog. She laughs. She is happy. She forgets about Ben. She does not want to play with him anymore. He is a spoiled boy. He is not a good friend. +Anna liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures and shapes. She wanted to design a star for her mom. She cut a big yellow circle and five small triangles. She glued the triangles to the circle to make a star. She was very proud of her star. + +She showed her star to her mom. "Look, mom, I made a star for you!" she said. + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "That's very nice, Anna. Thank you for the star. Where did you get the paper and the scissors?" she asked. + +Anna looked down. She did not want to tell mom. She was lazy and did not ask mom. She took the paper and the scissors from mom's desk. Mom used them for her work. Anna knew mom needed them, but she did not care. + +Mom saw Anna's face. She knew something was wrong. She went to her desk and saw the mess. She saw her papers cut and torn. She saw her scissors broken. She saw her glue spilled. She was very angry and sad. She needed those things for her work. She had a deadline. She did not know what to do. + +She turned to Anna. "Anna, did you do this?" she asked. + +Anna nodded. She was scared. She knew she did a bad thing. + +Mom was very disappointed. She did not want the star anymore. She threw it in the trash. She said to Anna, "You are a very naughty girl. You did not ask me. You did not respect me. You did not care about my work. You ruined everything. You have to go to your room. You have to stay there until I say so. You have to think about what you did. You have to say sorry to me. You have to learn to be better." + +Anna cried. She felt very sorry. She wished she did not take the paper and the scissors. She wished she did not design the star. She wished she did not make mom angry and sad. She wished she could make mom happy again. She wished she could have the star back. She wished she could start over. But she could not. She had to go to her room. She had to stay there. She had to think. She had to say sorry. She had to learn. She had to be better. She had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and their dog Spot. One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She took them to a big house with many rooms. She said they were going to meet their new baby brother. + +Tom and Lily were excited. They wanted to see the baby and hold him and play with him. They followed their mom to a room where a lady in a white dress was holding a small bundle. The lady smiled and said, "Hello, Tom and Lily. This is your baby brother, Jack. He was born today. Do you want to say hello?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They went closer to the lady and the baby. They saw that the baby was very small and pale. He had a tiny nose and mouth and eyes. He was wrapped in a blue blanket. He made soft noises. Tom and Lily thought he was cute. + +"Can we touch him?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, but be gentle," the lady said. She let Tom and Lily touch the baby's hand and cheek. The baby felt warm and soft. He opened his eyes and looked at them. + +"Hi, Jack," Tom said. "We are your big brother and sister. We will take care of you and play with you." + +The baby smiled. He seemed to like Tom and Lily. They smiled back. They felt happy and proud. They had a new baby brother. + +But then, something bad happened. The baby started to cry. He cried very loud and hard. He turned red and kicked his legs. He looked like he was in pain. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They looked at their mom and the lady. They looked worried too. + +"What's wrong with Jack?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, honey. He might be sick. We need to take him to the doctor right away," their mom said. + +She took the baby from the lady and ran out of the room. Tom and Lily followed her. They hoped that Jack would be okay. They hoped that they could see him again soon. They hoped that he would stop crying and smile at them again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big pond near their house. They wanted to see what was in the pond. + +"Let's go to the pond, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some fish or frogs." + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The pond is deep and wet. We don't want to fall in," Lily said. + +They walked to the pond and looked around. They saw some ducks and some water bugs. They also saw something shiny in the water. It looked like a ring. + +"Wow, look at that, Lily! It's a ring! Maybe it's magic!" Ben said. He wanted to get the ring. He reached out his hand to the water. + +"Ben, no! Don't touch the water! It's too far and too cold!" Lily said. She was worried about Ben. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. + +But Ben was too curious. He let go of Lily's arm and leaned over the water. He tried to grab the ring. But he lost his balance and fell into the pond. + +Splash! + +Lily screamed. She saw Ben in the water. He was scared and wet. He tried to swim to the shore, but he was too small and too tired. + +"Help! Help! Lily, help me!" Ben cried. + +Lily was brave. She did not run away. She did not cry. She looked for something to help Ben. She saw a big stick near the pond. She picked up the stick and ran to the water. + +"Ben, hold on! I'm coming!" Lily said. She threw the stick to Ben. Ben grabbed the stick. Lily pulled the stick and Ben out of the pond. + +They were both safe and dry. They hugged each other. They were happy and relieved. + +"Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You are my hero," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are my friend. I'm glad you're OK," Lily said. + +They decided to leave the pond and the ring alone. They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was proud of Lily and Ben. She gave them some cookies and milk. They ate and smiled. They learned a lesson. They never went to the pond again. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the seals. Mom said the seals were in a big pool of water. + +They ran to the pool and saw many seals. Some were swimming, some were playing, and some were resting. Tom and Lily clapped and laughed. They wanted to touch the seals. They saw a sign that said "Do not touch the seals. They may bite." + +But Tom did not listen. He saw a seal that was resting on a rock. He thought the seal was available. He climbed over the fence and reached his hand to the seal. He said, "Hello, seal. What is your name?" + +The seal did not like Tom. The seal was not available. The seal was tired and wanted to sleep. The seal opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It made a loud noise. It said, "Arf! Arf! Go away!" + +Tom was scared. He pulled his hand back. He fell off the rock and into the water. He splashed and cried. Mom heard Tom and ran to him. She helped him out of the water. She was angry and worried. She said, "Tom, why did you do that? You could have been hurt. You should have listened to the sign. You should not touch the seals. They are not your friends. They are wild animals." + +Tom was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, seal. I did not mean to bother you. I just wanted to know your name." + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are safe. But you have to be careful and respectful. You have to follow the rules. You have to ask before you touch. Not everything is available. Sometimes, you have to look and not touch." + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I will be careful and respectful. I will follow the rules. I will ask before I touch. I will look and not touch." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's good, Tom. Come on, let's go see the other animals. Maybe they will tell us their names." + +The end. +Lily was a little girl who loved cream. She liked to taste cream on her cake, on her fruit, on her bread, and sometimes on her spoon. She did not like to share her cream with anyone, not even her brother Tom or her friend Anna. + +One day, Lily saw a big jar of cream in the fridge. She wanted to taste it all by herself. She took the jar and ran to her room. She locked the door and opened the jar. She dipped her spoon in the cream and put it in her mouth. It was so yummy! + +She ate more and more cream, until the jar was empty. She felt very full and happy. She licked her lips and smiled. She did not think about Tom or Anna or anyone else. + +But soon, she felt sick. Her tummy hurt and she felt dizzy. She wanted to drink some water, but she had no water in her room. She wanted to call her mom, but she had locked the door. She felt very bad and sorry. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was Tom. He said, "Lily, are you okay? I heard you moan. Can I come in?" Lily said, "No, go away. I don't want to see you." Tom said, "But I have something for you. I have a surprise. Please let me in." Lily said, "No, I don't want your surprise. I have my own surprise. I have cream." + +Tom said, "Cream? What cream?" Lily said, "The cream in the fridge. I ate it all. It was so good." Tom said, "Lily, that was not cream. That was sour cream. Mom bought it for the salad. It is not good to eat by itself. It can make you sick. You should not have eaten it." + +Lily felt very scared and ashamed. She realized she had made a big mistake. She said, "Oh no, Tom, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I feel so sick. Please help me." Tom said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. But you have to unlock the door and let me in. And you have to share your surprise with me." + +Lily unlocked the door and let Tom in. He saw the empty jar of sour cream and shook his head. He said, "Lily, you were very greedy and selfish. You should have shared the cream with me and Anna and others. Sharing is caring. Sharing makes you happy and healthy. Do you understand?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Tom, I understand. I'm sorry. I will share next time. What is your surprise?" + +Tom smiled and said, "My surprise is this." He took out a small box and opened it. Inside was a slice of cake with cream on top. He said, "I saved this for you from the party. I know you love cream. But this is sweet cream, not sour cream. It is good to taste. Do you want some?" Lily said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Tom. You are very kind and generous. Can we share it?" Tom said, "Of course we can share it. Sharing is fun. Come on, let's taste it together." + +They tasted the cake and cream and it was delicious. They felt better and happier. They hugged each other and said, "We love cream. And we love each other." They learned a lesson that day. They learned that tasting is good, but sharing is better. They learned that being wide is not good, but being wise is good. They learned that cream can be sweet or sour, but love is always sweet. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Anna and Ben are thirsty and tired. + +"Let's go to the fountain and drink some water," Anna says. + +"OK," Ben says. They walk to the fountain. The water is cool and fresh. They drink and splash. + +"Look, there is a slide!" Anna says. She points to a big slide. It is red and shiny. + +"Wow, it looks fun!" Ben says. + +"Do you want to try it?" Anna asks. + +Ben looks at the slide. It is high and steep. He feels scared. + +"I don't know," he says. "It looks too fast." + +Anna smiles. She wants to encourage Ben. + +"Don't be afraid," she says. "I will go with you. We can hold hands. It will be fun!" + +Ben thinks. He trusts Anna. She is his friend. + +"OK," he says. "Let's go together." + +Anna and Ben climb the stairs. They reach the top. They hold hands. They look down. + +"Are you ready?" Anna asks. + +"Yes," Ben says. + +They slide down. They go fast. They feel the wind. They laugh. + +They reach the bottom. They are happy. + +"That was fun!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it was!" Ben says. + +They hug. They are brave. They are friends. +Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big statue of a bird. The statue is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green feathers. + +Tim and Mia run to the statue. They want to touch it and see how it feels. But when they get close, they hear a loud noise. It is a man with a hose. He is spraying water on the statue. He is cleaning it. + +"Hey, stop!" Tim shouts. "We want to play with the statue!" + +The man looks at Tim and Mia. He shakes his head. "No, you can't play with the statue. It is not a toy. It is art. You have to be careful with art. You can look, but don't touch." + +Tim and Mia are sad and angry. They don't understand why they can't play with the statue. It looks like a fun toy. They think the man is mean and silly. + +They run away from the statue. They look for another thing to play with. They see a big pile of leaves. They run to the leaves. They jump and roll and throw the leaves in the air. They laugh and have fun. + +They realize that they don't need the statue to play. They have each other and the leaves. They are happy. +Ben and Lily like to play near the stream. The stream has clear water and many fish. They can splash and catch fish with their hands. They have fun with the stream. + +One day, it rains a lot. The rain makes the stream dirty. The water is brown and muddy. The fish are gone. Ben and Lily are sad. They cannot play near the stream. + +"Look, Ben, the stream is dirty. Where are the fish?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they are hiding. I miss the fish. I miss the clear water." Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben. I miss the stream. Do you think it will be clean again?" Lily says. + +"Maybe, Lily. Maybe when the rain stops, the stream will be clean again. Then we can play near the stream again." Ben says. + +They hope the rain will stop soon. They want to see the stream clean and clear. They want to see the fish again. They miss the stream. +Sara loves to dance. She feels happy when she moves her feet and arms to the music. She likes to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She feels graceful like a fairy. + +One day, Sara goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big tree with many flowers. She runs to the tree and smells the flowers. They smell sweet and pretty. She wants to pick one for her mom. + +She reaches for a flower, but it is too high. She tries to jump, but she cannot reach it. She feels sad and frustrated. She wants to give her mom a flower. + +She hears a voice behind her. It is a boy with a big smile. He says, "Do you need help?" He is holding a flower in his hand. He gives it to Sara. She feels surprised and happy. She says, "Thank you!" + +She takes the flower and runs to her mom. She gives her the flower and a hug. She says, "Look, mom, a flower for you!" Her mom smiles and kisses her. She says, "Thank you, Sara, it is beautiful, just like you!" Sara feels proud and loved. She feels like dancing again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big rocket on the grass. It was thin and shiny. They wanted to go inside. + +"Can we step in the rocket?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not for us," Ben said. + +But Lily was curious. She ran to the rocket and opened the door. She stepped in and saw many buttons and lights. + +"Wow, this is cool!" she said. "Come on, Ben, let's pretend we are going to the moon!" + +Ben followed Lily. He was a little scared, but he also wanted to have fun. He stepped in the rocket and closed the door. + +They pushed some buttons and made noises. They imagined they were flying in the sky. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing in my rocket?" the voice said. "This is not a toy, this is a real rocket!" + +Lily and Ben were shocked. They looked out the window and saw a man in a white coat. He was angry. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know," Lily said. + +"Please, let us out, we won't do it again," Ben said. + +The man opened the door and helped them out. He was not so angry anymore. He saw they were just kids. + +"Next time, ask before you step in someone's rocket," he said. "This is a very special rocket. I made it myself. I am going to the moon tomorrow." + +"Wow, really?" Lily and Ben said. + +"Yes, really. Do you want to see how it works?" the man said. + +He smiled and showed them some pictures and charts. He explained how the rocket worked. He was very smart. + +Lily and Ben listened and learned. They were amazed. They thanked the man and said goodbye. + +They went back to their parents and told them what happened. They said they were sorry for stepping in the rocket. They said they learned a lot. + +Their parents were not mad. They were glad they were safe. They were proud they were curious. + +They hugged them and said they loved them. + +The end. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign near the trees. The sign has a picture of a bear and some words. + +"What does the sign say?" Tom asks Sue. + +Sue can read a little. She looks at the sign and says, "It says, 'Do not climb the trees. There is a hairy bear in the woods. He is hungry and angry.'" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not want to meet the hairy bear. They run away from the sign and the trees. They find a slide and a swing. They play on the slide and the swing. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big, hairy bear. The bear has climbed a tree. He is looking at them. He is hungry and angry. + +Tom and Sue scream. They run to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad hug them and take them away from the park. They are safe. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the tent in the backyard. It was dark outside, but they had a flashlight to see. They liked to tell stories and make funny faces with the light. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright light in the sky. It was lightning. They were scared. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. + +Mommy and Daddy came running to the tent. They hugged Lily and Tom and told them not to be afraid. + +"It's just a storm, sweeties. It will pass soon. Thunder is the sound of the clouds bumping into each other. Lightning is the spark that comes out when they do. It's like a big flashlight in the sky," Mommy explained. + +"Can we go inside, please?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. Let's go to the living room and have some hot chocolate. We can watch a nice movie together," Daddy said. + +They took the flashlight and left the tent. They followed Mommy and Daddy to the house. They felt safe and warm. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a playful dog. He likes to run, chase, and jump. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a big box in the park. They wonder what is inside. They think it is a mystery. They want to find out. + +They run to the box with Spot. They try to open it, but it is locked. They look for a key, but they cannot find one. They hear a noise inside the box. It sounds like a meow. + +They are surprised. They think there is a cat in the box. They want to help the cat. They ask Spot to jump on the box and break it. Spot jumps and jumps, but the box is too strong. + +Then, they see a man coming. He has a key in his hand. He says he is the owner of the box. He says he is sorry for leaving the box in the park. He says he has a surprise for Tom and Lily. + +He opens the box and shows them what is inside. It is not a cat. It is a kitten. A fluffy, white kitten. Tom and Lily are happy. They love kittens. They thank the man and ask if they can pet the kitten. The man says yes. + +They pet the kitten and play with it. Spot likes the kitten too. He licks it and wags his tail. The kitten purrs and cuddles with them. They have a lot of fun. + +They say goodbye to the man and the kitten. They hope to see them again. They go home with Spot. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They say they solved a mystery. They say they made a new friend. They say they had a great day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make noises with their cars and dolls. They had a lovely time together. + +But then, a group of big kids came to the park. They saw Lily and Ben's toys and wanted to take them. They ran to the toys and grabbed them. They laughed and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They yelled at the big kids. "Give us back our toys! They are ours! You are mean!" they yelled. + +The big kids did not listen. They kept running and playing with the toys. They did not care about Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They felt like crying. They wanted their toys back. + +Then, they saw a lady walking a dog. The lady was nice and friendly. She saw Lily and Ben and asked them what was wrong. They told her about the big kids and the toys. + +The lady felt sorry for them. She said, "That is not fair. They should not take your toys. Come with me. I will help you get them back." + +Lily and Ben smiled and thanked the lady. They followed her and her dog. The lady and the dog went to the big kids and told them to give back the toys. The big kids were scared of the dog. They dropped the toys and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They got their toys back. They hugged the lady and the dog. They said, "You are very kind. You are our hero. Thank you so much!" + +The lady and the dog smiled and said, "You are very welcome. We are glad we could help. Enjoy your toys and have fun!" + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the lady and the dog. They went back to their spot and played with their toys. They had a lovely time together. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the pool. They had a lot of fun splashing each other and making bubbles. But sometimes they also liked to have secrets from each other. + +One day, Lily found a shiny ring at the bottom of the pool. She thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it for herself. She did not tell Ben about it. She hid it in her pocket and waited for him to go inside. + +When Ben went inside to get a snack, Lily took out the ring and looked at it. She felt very happy and proud. She put it on her finger and pretended to be a princess. + +But then she heard Ben coming back. She quickly put the ring back in her pocket and pretended to be bored. She hoped he would not notice. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Ben asked. "Do you want to play some more?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She splashed him with water and said, "Sure, let's play!" + +But Ben saw something shiny in her pocket. He was curious and asked, "What's that in your pocket, Lily?" + +Lily felt scared and guilty. She did not want to share her ring with Ben. She thought he would take it away from her. She was selfish. + +She lied and said, "Nothing, it's just a rock. It's not important." + +But Ben did not believe her. He reached for her pocket and tried to grab the ring. Lily screamed and pushed him away. They started to fight and pull each other's hair. + +Their mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw them fighting and was angry. She asked, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They both felt ashamed and sorry. They told her the truth about the ring and how they hid it and lied. + +Their mom was disappointed and sad. She said, "That was not nice of you, Lily and Ben. You should not be selfish and lie to each other. You should share and be honest. The ring is not yours anyway. It belongs to someone else. You should give it back." + +Lily and Ben realized their mom was right. They felt bad for being selfish and lying. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were wrong. We will give the ring back." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you understand. I love you both. Now, let's go and find the owner of the ring. Maybe they are looking for it." + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They took the ring and followed their mom. They learned their lesson and decided to be more kind and truthful. They also decided to have more fun and less secrets. They still liked to splash each other and make bubbles. But they also liked to share and be honest. They were happy twins. +Sara loves to help daddy with the laundry. She likes to fold the clothes and make them neat. Daddy shows her how to fold the shirts, the pants, and the socks. Sara tries to copy daddy, but sometimes she makes mistakes. She folds the shirt the wrong way, or she makes the socks into a ball. + +"Oops!" Sara says. "I did it bad." + +Daddy smiles and hugs Sara. He is compassionate. He does not get mad at Sara. He says, "No, Sara, you did not do it bad. You did it very well. You are learning. It is okay to make mistakes. I will help you fix them." + +Daddy helps Sara unfold the shirt and the socks. He shows her again how to fold them the right way. Sara watches daddy and listens. She tries again. This time, she folds the shirt and the socks better. She is proud of herself. + +"Look, daddy!" Sara says. "I did it good!" + +Daddy claps and cheers for Sara. He is proud of her too. He says, "Yes, Sara, you did it very good! You are a great helper. I love you." + +Sara loves daddy. She gives him a big hug and a kiss. They finish folding the laundry together. They have fun. +Tom and Lily wanted to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They had hats and swords and a flag. They also had a rope that they used to tie up their enemies. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a bike that looked like a horse. Tom and Lily decided to capture him and make him walk the plank. They ran after him and threw the rope around him. They pulled him to their ship and tied him to a pole. + +"Ha ha, we got you!" Tom said. "You are our prisoner now. You have to do what we say or we will make you jump into the water." + +The new boy was scared and angry. He did not like to play pirates. He wanted his bike back. He tried to untie the rope, but it was too difficult. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. + +Lily and Tom were busy looking for treasure. They did not care about the new boy. They found a shiny lock in the sand. They thought it was gold. They wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are jewels or coins or candy," Lily said. + +"Let's try to break it," Tom said. He took his sword and hit the lock. But the lock was too hard. He could not break it. He got frustrated and threw the lock away. + +The lock flew in the air and landed on the box. It made a loud click. It locked the box. Lily and Tom were trapped inside their ship. They could not get out. They banged on the box and yelled for help, but no one heard them. + +The new boy saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily and Tom. He used his teeth to bite the rope. He freed himself and got his bike. He rode to the box and pushed the lock. He opened the box. He helped Lily and Tom out. + +"Thank you, thank you," Lily and Tom said. "You are very nice. We are sorry we captured you. Do you want to play with us?" + +The new boy smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. But can we play something else? I don't like pirates." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They gave him a hat and a sword. They said, "How about cowboys and Indians?" + +The new boy nodded. He said, "OK, that sounds fun. But can I be the cowboy?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Sure, you can. You are our friend now." + +They all played happily together. They forgot about the lock and the rope and the water. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She searched for Ben behind the trees, under the bushes and in the shed. But she could not find him. + +"Ben, where are you?" she called out. But there was only silence. Lily started to feel worried. Maybe Ben was lost or hurt. She searched some more, but still no sign of him. + +She ran back to the house and told her mom. "Mom, I can't find Ben. We were playing hide and seek and he disappeared." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find him together. Maybe he's hiding in the house." + +They searched the house, room by room. They looked in the closets, under the beds and behind the curtains. But they could not find him. + +They went back to the garden and searched again. Then Lily saw something. It was a delicate butterfly, with blue and yellow wings. It was sitting on a flower, near the fence. + +Lily walked slowly towards the butterfly. She wanted to touch it, but she was careful not to scare it. She reached out her hand and gently stroked its wing. + +Suddenly, she heard a giggle. It came from behind the fence. She looked over and saw Ben. He was hiding in the neighbor's garden. He had seen the butterfly and followed it. + +"Ben, I found you!" Lily shouted. She was happy and angry at the same time. "You cheated! You can't hide in the neighbor's garden. That's not fair." + +Ben climbed over the fence and ran to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to cheat. I just wanted to see the butterfly. It was so pretty." + +Lily forgave him and said, "It's okay, Ben. But next time, stay in our garden. And don't be so quiet. I was scared." + +Mom came over and said, "I'm glad you found each other. But you shouldn't go to the neighbor's garden without asking. That's not polite." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We won't do it again." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's all right. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" + +Lily and Ben cheered and followed Mom to the house. They forgot about the butterfly, but they remembered their game of hide and seek. They decided to play again, but this time, they would follow the rules. +Tommy loved to play with his toy scale. He liked to weigh different things and see which one was heavier. He weighed his cars, his books, his teddy bear and his blocks. He even weighed his baby sister, but she did not like it and cried. + +One day, Tommy wanted to weigh something new. He looked outside and saw the weather was sunny and bright. He had an idea. He ran outside with his scale and put it on the grass. He picked up a handful of dirt and put it on one side of the scale. Then he picked up a handful of leaves and put it on the other side. He watched the scale move. + +"Which one is heavier, dirt or leaves?" he asked himself. He was very enthusiastic and curious. He tried to guess before he looked at the scale. He thought dirt was heavier, because it was brown and hard. He looked at the scale and saw he was right. The dirt side went down and the leaves side went up. + +He smiled and clapped his hands. He wanted to try more things. He weighed rocks and flowers, sticks and feathers, acorns and pine cones. He had so much fun weighing things and learning about them. He did not notice the time passing by. + +Soon, his mom called him for lunch. He heard her voice and ran back to the house. He brought his scale with him and put it in his room. He was hungry and happy. He told his mom about his weighing game and what he found out. She listened and praised him. She said he was a smart and enthusiastic boy. She gave him a hug and a sandwich. He ate and smiled. He could not wait to play with his scale again. He wondered what else he could weigh. +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck has four wheels, a horn, and a shovel. They take turns driving the truck and digging in the sand. + +One day, Tom and Anna are playing with the truck when they hear a loud snap. The truck stops moving and one of the wheels falls off. Tom and Anna are sad. They love their truck and they want to fix it. + +They look for their dad, who is good at fixing things. But their dad is not at home. He is at work. They look for their mom, who is also good at fixing things. But their mom is not in the house. She is in the garden. + +They go to the garden and see their mom. She is planting flowers and vegetables. She has a hat, gloves, and a shovel. She looks busy. + +"Mom, can you help us?" Tom asks. "Our truck is broken. We need to fix it." + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Anna," their mom says. "I can't help you right now. I have to finish planting these seeds. Maybe later, when I'm done, I can help you fix your truck." + +Tom and Anna are disappointed. They don't want to wait. They want to fix their truck now. They look around the garden and see something. It is their mom's shovel. It is big and shiny. It looks like the shovel on their truck. + +"Maybe we can use this shovel to fix our truck," Anna says. "It looks the same." + +Tom agrees. He takes the shovel from the ground and runs to their truck. Anna follows him. They try to attach the shovel to the truck, where the wheel used to be. They think it will work. + +But they are wrong. The shovel is too big and heavy for the truck. It makes the truck tip over and break more. The horn stops working and the other wheels come loose. The truck is more broken than before. + +Tom and Anna are shocked. They don't know what to do. They hear their mom coming. She sees the mess they made. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Anna, what have you done?" she asks. "You took my shovel without asking. You broke your truck and my shovel. You made a big problem." + +Tom and Anna are sorry. They didn't mean to make a problem. They wanted to fix their truck. They start to cry. + +"Mom, we're sorry," they say. "We wanted to fix our truck. We thought your shovel would help. We didn't know it would break more." + +Their mom sighs. She is angry, but she is also kind. She sees that Tom and Anna are sad and scared. She hugs them and wipes their tears. + +"It's okay, Tom and Anna," she says. "I know you wanted to fix your truck. But you can't fix things with the wrong tools. You have to use the right tools and ask for help when you need it. Next time, wait for me or dad to be available. We will help you fix your truck and my shovel. We will make them work again." + +Tom and Anna nod. They understand. They say sorry again and thank their mom. They promise to wait for her or dad to be available. They hope they can fix their truck and play with it again. They love their truck and their mom. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the pool. They pretend they are fish and swim fast. Lila is a pink fish and Sam is a blue fish. + +One day, they see a new toy in the pool. It is a big shark. It is gray and smooth. It has sharp teeth and a fin. Lila and Sam are scared. They think the shark will bite them. + +They swim to the edge of the pool. They hold each other's hands. They support each other. They say, "We are brave fish. We can face the shark." + +They swim back to the shark. They touch it with their hands. It is not real. It is made of plastic. It does not move or bite. It is just a toy. + +Lila and Sam laugh. They are not scared anymore. They play with the shark. They take turns riding on it. They have fun. They are happy fish. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set. They would make the train go around the tracks, and stop at different stations. Sometimes they would pretend to be the driver, or the passengers, or the animals on the train. + +One day, their mom said they had to separate their toys, because they were going to move to a new house. She gave them two boxes, and told them to put their own toys in their own box. Lily and Ben did not like this idea. They wanted to keep their train set together. They said, "No, mom, we want to share our train!" + +Mom said, "I know, sweeties, but we can't take everything with us. You can each take some of the train pieces, and then you can play together again in the new house. It will be fun to make new tracks and stations. Come on, let's try it." + +Lily and Ben felt a mild shock. They had never played with the train set apart. They looked at the train, and wondered how to divide it. They started to argue over who would get the engine, or the caboose, or the bridge. They pulled and pushed the train, and made it fall off the tracks. They both cried, and said, "We don't want to separate our train!" + +Mom heard the noise, and came back to the room. She saw the mess, and the tears, and felt sorry for them. She said, "Oh, dear, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I know you love your train, and you love each other. How about we keep the train set together, and put it in a special box? Then we can take it with us, and you can play with it in the new house. Would that make you happy?" + +Lily and Ben nodded, and smiled. They hugged mom, and said, "Thank you, mom, you are the best! We are happy to keep our train!" They helped mom pack the train set in the special box, and labeled it with their names. They felt better, and looked forward to playing with their train in the new house. They learned that sometimes they had to separate their toys, but they never had to separate their love. +Lila and Ben love to bounce on the big trampoline in their backyard. They jump high and low, and laugh and shout. Sometimes they pretend they are rockets flying to the moon. + +One day, they see a small bird on the grass. The bird has a hurt wing and cannot fly. Lila and Ben stop bouncing and go to see the bird. + +"Look, Ben, the bird is sad. It needs help," Lila says. + +"Maybe we can give it some fuel," Ben says. He runs to the garage and brings back a bottle of water and a cracker. + +Lila and Ben gently pour some water on the bird's beak and break off a piece of cracker for it to eat. The bird chirps softly and looks at them with grateful eyes. + +"You are very compassionate, Lila and Ben," their mom says, watching them from the window. "You are taking good care of the bird." + +"Can we keep it, mom?" Lila asks. + +"We can keep it until it gets better, and then we can let it go," mom says. "Birds need to fly and be free." + +Lila and Ben nod. They are happy to help the bird, and they hope it will heal soon. They decide to name it Bounce, because they found it on the trampoline. They go back to bouncing, but they also check on Bounce often, and give it more water and cracker. Bounce watches them with curiosity and trust, and feels a little less sad. +Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's ride the bike!" Tom said. He pointed to the big bike in the garage. + +"No, we can't," Lily said. "The bike is too big for us. And it is wet and dirty." + +"Then let's ride the horse!" Tom said. He pointed to the wooden horse in the living room. + +"No, we can't," Lily said. "The horse is too old and noisy. And it might break the vase." + +"What vase?" Tom asked. He looked around and saw a shiny vase on the shelf. It had flowers and water in it. + +"That vase," Lily said. "Mommy likes it a lot. She says it is pretty and special. We can't touch it." + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see the vase up close. He climbed on the couch and reached for the shelf. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "You will fall and make a mess!" + +But it was too late. Tom grabbed the vase and pulled it down. It slipped from his hand and crashed on the floor. The water and the flowers spilled everywhere. The vase broke into many pieces. + +Tom and Lily gasped. They looked at the broken vase and the wet floor. They felt scared and sorry. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. "We are in trouble." + +"Mommy will be mad," Lily said. "She will say we are bad and naughty." + +They heard Mommy's footsteps in the hall. She was coming back from the kitchen. + +"What was that noise?" Mommy asked. She opened the door and saw the mess. She saw Tom and Lily on the couch. They looked sad and guilty. + +"Mommy, we are sorry," Lily said. "We broke the vase." + +Mommy sighed. She was angry and disappointed. She looked at the vase and the flowers. She saw something else on the floor. It was a worm. It had come out of the dirt in the vase. It was brown and slimy. + +"Yuck!" Mommy said. "What is that?" + +Tom and Lily looked at the worm. They felt disgusted. They wrinkled their noses and said, "Ew!" +Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it and have fun. + +But then they saw something scary. It was a skeleton. It had no skin or hair. It had only bones. It was lying on the ground near the leaves. + +"Whoa, look at that!" Tim said. "It's a skeleton!" + +"Where did it come from?" Mia asked. "Is it real?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it was a person once. Maybe it was a monster. Maybe it was a dinosaur. Let's go and see!" Tim said. + +He ran towards the skeleton. Mia followed him. They were curious and brave. + +But when they got closer, they heard a loud roar. It was a big dog. It was angry and hungry. It wanted the skeleton. It was its bone. + +"Rrrrrr! Go away! This is mine!" the dog barked. + +"Uh-oh, we have to run!" Mia said. + +She grabbed Tim's hand and pulled him away. The dog chased them. It was fast and fierce. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Mia shouted. + +They saw a man. He was a park ranger. He had a hat and a badge. He had a whistle and a leash. + +"Hey, kids, what's wrong?" the man asked. + +"There's a big dog! It wants the skeleton! It wants to eat us!" Tim and Mia said. + +"A skeleton? A dog? Where?" the man asked. + +He looked around and saw the dog and the skeleton. He blew his whistle. The dog stopped and looked at him. The man took out his leash and walked towards the dog. + +"Hey, boy, calm down. It's okay. You don't have to be angry. Come here. Let me carry you to a safe place. You can have a different bone. A better bone. A yummy bone." the man said. + +He was strong and gentle. He lifted the dog and put it on his shoulder. The dog licked his face and wagged his tail. The man smiled and walked away. + +Tim and Mia watched him go. They were relieved and happy. + +"Wow, he was so strong! He carried the dog like it was nothing!" Tim said. + +"Yeah, he was so nice! He saved us and the dog!" Mia said. + +They looked at the skeleton again. They were not scared anymore. They were still curious. + +"Can we touch it?" Tim asked. + +"Maybe. But be careful. It might break." Mia said. + +They went to the skeleton and touched it gently. It was hard and cold. It had many parts. It had a head, a chest, a back, two arms, two legs, and many fingers and toes. + +"It's so cool! It's like a puzzle!" Tim said. + +"Yeah, it's so amazing! It's like a treasure!" Mia said. + +They played with the skeleton. They learned about bones. They had fun. They forgot about the dog and the leaves. They made a new friend. The skeleton. +Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make her pictures. She drew a picture of her family, with Mom, Dad, her baby brother and her dog. She was very proud of her picture and wanted to show it to Mom. + +She ran to the kitchen, where Mom was making lunch. She held up her picture and said, "Look, Mom, look at my picture!" + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a very nice picture, Lily. You are a good artist. Can I see it closer?" + +Lily nodded and gave her picture to Mom. Mom looked at it and said, "I like how you drew everyone's eyes and noses and mouths. And I like how you gave your dog a big tail. But Lily, who is this?" Mom pointed to a small figure next to Lily, with curly hair and a big smile. + +Lily looked at her picture and said, "That's my friend, Anna. She lives next door. She likes to play with me and my dog. She is very honest and kind. She always shares her toys and snacks with me." + +Mom said, "Oh, I see. Anna is your friend. But Lily, you know that Anna is not part of our family, right? She has her own family, with her own Mom and Dad and brother. You can't draw her in your family picture. That's not how it works." + +Lily felt sad and confused. She said, "But Mom, I love Anna. She is like my sister. She makes me happy. Can't she be in my family picture?" + +Mom said, "I know you love Anna, and she loves you too. But she is not your sister, Lily. She is your friend. And friends are very important, but they are different from family. Family is who you are born with, who you live with, who you share your blood with. Friends are who you choose, who you play with, who you share your heart with. Do you understand?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I think so, Mom. But I still want Anna to be in my picture. She is part of my heart." + +Mom said, "I understand, Lily. But you can't change the truth with your crayons. You have to be honest with your pictures. Why don't you draw another picture, just for Anna, and show her how much you love her? You can draw anything you want, as long as it is true. And then you can give it to her as a gift. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, Mom. I will draw another picture, just for Anna. And I will keep this picture, just for me. Because I love both of them. They are both part of my life." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "That's very wise, Lily. You are a very smart and sweet girl. I love you very much. And I love your pictures too. They are very beautiful and honest. Just like you." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big screen in the living room. They can watch cartoons and games on the screen. + +One day, Anna and Ben are watching a game on the screen. They see a man with a big hat and a big smile. He says, "Hello, kids! Do you want to play with me? I have a lot of delicious candy for you. Just wave at me and I will come to your house." + +Anna and Ben think the man is nice. They like candy. They wave at the man on the screen. They are happy. + +But the man is not nice. He is bad. He is a liar. He wants to hurt Anna and Ben. He knows where they live. He comes to their house. He knocks on the door. + +Anna and Ben open the door. They see the man with the big hat and the big smile. He says, "Hello, kids! I have a lot of delicious candy for you. Come with me and I will give you some." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to go with the man. They want to run away. But the man is strong. He grabs Anna and Ben. He puts them in his car. He drives away. + +Anna and Ben cry. They are sad. They are in danger. They wish they did not wave at the man on the screen. They wish they did not open the door. They wish they listened to their mom and dad. They wish they could go back home. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. + +One day, Anna wants to play with Ben's train. She asks him, "Can I play with your train, please?" + +Ben says, "No, this is my train. You can play with your doll." + +Anna says, "But I played with my doll yesterday. I want to play with something new." + +Ben says, "If you want to play with my train, you have to pay me." + +Anna says, "Pay you? How?" + +Ben says, "You have to give me something I like. Maybe a cookie, or a sticker, or a hug." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She does not have a cookie or a sticker. She does not want to give Ben a hug. She looks around the room and sees something. She says, "I know what I can pay you. I can pay you with my bed." + +Ben says, "Your bed? Why do you want to pay me with your bed?" + +Anna says, "Because my bed is bigger and softer than yours. And it has a pink blanket and a unicorn pillow. You like pink and unicorns, right?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I do. But are you sure you want to give me your bed?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I am sure. I can sleep in your bed tonight. It is smaller and harder, but it has a blue blanket and a dinosaur pillow. I like blue and dinosaurs, too." + +Ben says, "OK, then. It is a deal. You can play with my train, and I can sleep in your bed." + +Anna and Ben are both happy. They swap their beds and play with the train. They are cheerful and have fun. They do not fight anymore.

She smiles. + +"Look, Sara and Ben," Mom says. "You are both wrong. The card does not say 'To Ben, from Grandma'. It says 'To Ben and Sara, from Grandma'.

She had found him. + +"Gotcha!" she said. "I saw you peeking at the tent. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to find me." + +Tom turned around and saw Lily.

"I was looking for you, but then I saw the tent and I wanted to see the magic show. It was very cool. The man made a rabbit disappear." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She liked magic too. + +"Maybe we can watch the show together," she said. "But first, let's find Mom and Dad and tell them where we are. They might be worried." + +Tom agreed.

Maybe one day we will see each other again. You are my best friend too." + +Sara and her mom got in the car and drove away. Tom waved goodbye and ran to the park. He wanted to see the pond one last time. He followed the path and reached the water. But something was wrong. The pond was gone. There was only a big hole. A powerful machine was digging the ground. Tom saw a man with a hard hat and a loud voice. He said, "We are building a new road here. This pond is in the way. We have to drain it and fill it up." + +Tom felt a big pain in his heart. He cried and shouted, "No! You can't do that! This is our pond! This is our secret path! This is where I played with Sara!
