They were happy and friendly. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it.

He saw a jogger running in circles around the park. He was mesmerized by the jogger! So, Matt asked his mom, "Can I jog too?" + +His mom smiled. She explained to Matt that he could study to become a jogger. "It's very rare to see such young kids like you jog," she said. + +Encouraged, Matt practiced jogging every day. It was hard for him, but he never gave up. After months of practice, Matt became a real jogger. He was so proud of his accomplishment and his mom was very happy. + +The End. +Once upon a time there lived a fox in the dry land. One day the fox was very thirsty, so he looked for some water. He searched everywhere, but there was none to be found! + +Then the fox heard a bubbling sound coming from the nearby hill. So he ran to the hill and saw a pond. He was so excited, but sadly the pond was covered by a wooden door. + +The fox knocked on the door but no one answered. He tried pushing the door but it wouldn't open. Just as he was about to give up, he heard a voice from the other side: + +"Who is knocking at my door?" + +"It's me, a thirsty fox," replied the fox. + +"Okay, but you must promise that you won't take more than you need," said the voice. + +The fox was so relieved and agreed to the promise. The voice opened the door and the fox quenched his thirst. He then thanked the voice and shut the door. + +The moral of this story is that we should take only what we need and not more. Greediness can make our lives and the lives of others difficult. So it's best to be content with what we have. +Once upon a time, there was a friendly boy who always wanted to help. One day, his mommy asked him to go to the store to buy groceries. The boy happily accepted, but he knew his mommy always warned him to be careful. + +On his way to the store, a dog began to bark loudly. He was scared and stepped back. The boy heard another voice. It was a friendly man who said, "Don't be afraid, the dog won't hurt you! I will prevent any harm from coming to you." The boy felt brave and smiled. + +The friendly man showed the boy the way to the store. Before he left, the man said, "Remember, always be careful and don't ever be scared." + +The boy thanked the friendly man and continued on his way. Indeed, it was a friendly man who came to his rescue! When he returned home, he thought about the man's friendly words and vowed that he'd always be careful and never be scared. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. She was only three years old. Jane spotted a large mud puddle in her garden. She got very excited and yelled out, "Yay! A mud puddle!" + +She jumped in the puddle and started splashing around. Jane welcomed the mud to her feet and had lots of fun. Suddenly, a large dragonfly landed next to her. It was the biggest dragonfly she had ever seen. + +The dragonfly spoke in a gentle voice, "Welcome to my home. I love it when my puddle is full of mud. It's so cozy and warm here." + +Jane smiled and said, "Well, this is MY puddle and I'm very glad you like it. Welcome!" + +The dragonfly spread its wings and flew away. Jane watched it until it disappeared in the distance. She climbed out of the mud puddle and said goodbye to her new friend. Jane waved goodbye and said, "Goodbye! Come back and visit me soon!" +Once upon a time, there was a boy and his daddy. One day they decided to explore the big open space. It was so quiet and peaceful, just like the boy's backyard. The boy spotted a delicious apple in the distance. He wanted it so badly, but he was scared to get it. His daddy said to him, "It's OK, son. We can get it if you surrender." + +The boy said, "Surrender?" and his daddy explained to him what it meant. He said, "It just means to take a deep breath and let go." So the boy did just that and he and his daddy ran to get the yummy apple. + +When they made it to the apple, the boy was so happy! He couldn't believe it. He took a bite and it was so delicious. He hugged his daddy and thanked him for showing him how to surrender. + +That was the day the boy learnt what it meant to surrender to something special. Since then, both he and his daddy have been surrendering to special things in the space. +Mummy took out her supplies to make a special dress. She took out colourful pieces of cloth, threads and the interesting needle. Bobby watched Mummy and wanted to help. + +“Bobby, can you please pass me the needle?†asked Mummy. + +Bobby was very excited and jumped.

Now I can make the dress.†+ +Mummy took the needle and started to sew the pieces of cloth together. Bobby was curious and wanted to help. + +“Mummy, can I hold the needle too? Can I help?†asked Bobby. + +Mummy smiled and said, “Yes, Bobby. Hold the needle very carefully and you can help me.†+ +Bobby was so proud and he started to help Mummy with the needle. He learnt how to make the stitches and how to make the dress special. + +When they were done, Bobby was so happy. Mummy said, “Well done Bobby! You did a great job. Now our dress is ready!†+Once there was a quiet little girl named Sarah. She was very excited because today was her birthday! All of her friends were coming over for a party. When Sarah saw them arrive she couldn't contain her excitement. + +Sarah's friend Sally asked,"What do you want to do first?" Sarah said,"Let's sing 'Happy Birthday' and then blow out the candles on my cake!" Everyone agreed and Sarah began to grow a big smile on her face. + +After singing, Sarah held her breath and blew out all of the candles on her cake. It took two tries, but she did it! Everyone applauded and cheered for Sarah. + +For the rest of the party Sarah and her friends opened presents, played games, and ate cake. Sarah had a wonderful time, and as the day wore on she watched as everyone began to grow tired. It was soon time for her friends to go home. + +As the friends said their goodbyes, Sarah smiled and waved. They had fun and grown closer as friends, and Sarah knew they would have another party soon. She was looking forward to it! +Once upon a time there was a different kind of King. He loved his kingdom, but had to release all of his people. Everyone was sad that he had to leave, but he didn't want to stay any longer. + +So, the King decided to go off on his own. He found a small village and decided to stay there. The people of the village thought it was strange that a King would live amongst them and wanted to know why he was different. + +The King refused to answer their questions and the village people became angry. They talked to each other and decided to lock the King away in the village jail. + +The King was never heard from again. No one knew whether he was able to release himself or not. The King's departure caused much sadness throughout the village and the kingdom. +Once upon a time there was a cat named Bob. Bob always liked to make jokes with the other cats and he thought of the most original jokes ever. + +One day, Bob saw a new cat that moved into the neighbourhood. He was curious so he went over to talk to her. Bob said, "Hey! My name is Bob. What's yours?" + +The new cat replied, "My name is Tilly. Nice to meet you!" + +Bob said, "Let me tell you a joke. Why did the cat cross the road?" + +Tilly said, "I don't know. Why?" + +Bob replied, "To get to the meowing side!" + +Tilly laughed, "That's so funny! That's the most original joke I've ever heard!" + +Bob smiled and said, "I know. I am the king of jokes!" + +From that day on, Bob and Tilly became the best of friends. They would tell jokes together every day and always made sure to try and come up with the most original ideas. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Sophie and Alivia. They were always looking for something new and exciting to do. + +One day, they made a request. +"Can we please start a club?" Sophie asked. + +Alivia soon agreed and the two of them started brainstorming ideas. They wanted to make it a mighty club that all of the other kids could join. + +"We should have a secret handshake and a password," said Alivia. + +The two of them thought and thought until they finally came up with the perfect plan. They decided that their club would meet every Sunday morning at the park. + +The friends had a great time. They even painted a sign and hung it up at the park. It said, "The Mighty Club of Sophie and Alivia!" + +And every Sunday morning they shared snacks, played games and had a lot of fun. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to create something different. He thought and thought and thought, until one day he had an idea. He went around the kingdom, gathering all the materials he needed. + +Meanwhile, the queen had an idea of her own. She said to the king, "Why don't we create something different together?" But the king refused and refused. He said, "No, I must create something unique!" + +The queen didn't give up. She pleaded with the king, "But why must you do it alone? We could create something even better if we worked together!" But the king refused. + +The queen thought hard and came up with another idea. She said, "Let's make a game! We can both create something different and play together!" The king thought about it and finally agreed. + +So the king and queen worked together to create a wonderful game. Everyone in the kingdom was delighted and happy. They played together, laughing and smiling as they thought up different ways to enjoy their game. The game was a success; the king and queen's collaboration had certainly created something different! +Tommy lived in a small red house. Every day he played in the garden. One day, a big truck drove up and a man got out. He had a huge box in his hand. + +Tommy: "What is that?" + +Man: "I'm here to deliver a very special present!" + +Tommy was so excited. He opened the box and was surprised to see a scarf inside. It was pink and orange with white spots. But, it also smelled nasty, like something disgusting! + +Tommy: "This scarf looks pretty, but it smells bad. Can you take it away?" + +The man agreed, so he put the scarf back in the box and drove away. Tommy was glad his garden was back to normal and he could play again. +Once upon a time, there was a cat named Puggles. Puggles was very curious and liked to explore. One day Puggles saw a butterfly fluttering around the garden and got very excited. She wanted to chase it but it was too difficult. + +Suddenly, Puggles heard a loud sound, it was her owner singing! Puggles was excited, she jumped and ran to the garden gate. In her rush to reach the gate and join in on the singing, Puggles scattered the flowers and dirt everywhere. + +When Puggles finally reached the gate, she saw that her owner was not singing, but instead laughing. Puggles asked why he was laughing. Her owner replied, "I'm laughing because chasing butterflies can be so difficult. I don't think you should worry about it." + +Puggles smiled and said, "Yes, chasing butterflies is difficult, but I will never stop trying!" +"Look, mommy, I'm leaning," said the three year old toddler. She smiled as she pushed against the wall with her tiny hands. Her mommy hadn't taken her eye away from her little girl, as she knew that if she did her daughter would do something mischievous. + +"That's right, you're doing great," said mommy. + +The toddler looked up at the sky, wishing for the sun to come out from behind the clouds. All of a sudden the sky roared with thunder and it started to rain. The toddler jumped in surprise, but her mommy just chuckled. + +"It's okay, it's just fair thunder," said mommy. "When the thunder is fair, it's not too loud or scary, it only means it's raining." + +The toddler leaned over and hugged her mommy, pleased with the explanation. She smiled as she watched the drops on the window and the rain puddles forming outside. As the clouds started to drift away, the sun shone brightly and the toddler looked up at the sky in awe. + +"Look mommy, the thunder is fair now," the toddler said with a wide smile. "I like the fair thunder," she added, staring up into the sky with wonder. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Lucy.

She hugged her mom. + +"Thank you!" said Lucy. + +But then her mom looked troubled. + +"But you must use it carefully and take care of it," her mom warned. + +Lucy smiled and nodded. + +"I will, Mommy," she said. + +Lucy was so grateful. She gave her mom another hug. She was so glad she had been given a camera. +Jimmy loved the blue sky. Every day he would look up and admire how beautiful the sky was. One day he looked up and saw two bright stars. He was so excited! He had an idea. + +"Mommy, can I make a wish?" he asked. + +His mom looked at him with a kind smile. "Of course, sweetie," she replied. + +Jimmy closed his eyes and made his wish. Afterwards, he asked his mom what the stars were. + +She replied, "The stars are a sign of the beginning of the most magical experience of all. It is the start of wisdom and knowledge." + +Jimmy was happy and could not wait to find out what his mom was talking about. The next day, his mom took Jimmy on an adventure. They went to a park and saw an old tree with a bright blue bird sitting on a branch. + +As they walked closer, Jimmy noticed a book at the foot of the tree. His mom picked it up and said, "This is your first step on the path of wisdom. Opening this book will begin your journey." + +Jimmy started to feel excited and looked forward to embracing the new world he was about to explore. He opened the book and his adventure began. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl called Flora. Flora lived in a beautiful village, nestled atop a green cliff. One day, Flora wanted to explore beyond the cliff. She bravely crossed the edge of the cliff to see what was on the other side. + +To Flora's surprise, a dragon suddenly appeared! She was very fearful and wondered what was going to happen. She slowly came closer before the dragon spoke to her. The dragon said, “Do not be scared little one, I am here to be your friend.†+ +Flora was still very fearful, but she answered, “I was wondering what was going to happen.†The dragon chuckled and said, “I am here to show you a wonderful world beyond the cliff if you promise to be my friend.†+ +Flora smiled and accepted. Together they flew to a special place, full of exciting adventures and fun! Flora had a wonderful time, and she lived happily ever after with her new dragon friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She had a machine that was very special. It was a fair machine; it had bright colors and light that flashed when the girl turned it on. + +One day, the girl was playing with her machine when she heard a knock at the door. She opened the door and saw a goblin. The goblin said, "I would like you to settle up with me. Give me the machine and I will give you something special in return." + +The girl thought about it for a moment and then said, "No! It's not fair for you to take something that doesn't belong to you." The goblin looked shocked, then sad, and finally turned away. + +The little girl closed the door and hugged her machine tightly. She was so happy that she had stood up for what was fair. From that day forward, she knew she could trust her own judgment and do her best to do what was right. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl called Sarah. She was only three years old. Every night as she was getting ready for bed, her mum would tell her it was time to pray. Sarah would then kneel by her bed and close her eyes. + +One night, Sarah spotted something different. It was a fork lying on the floor. She asked her mum what it was, and her mum said it was a fork. Sarah found it fascinating, so she asked her mum if she could pray to the fork that night. Her mum said yes, so Sarah began to pray. + +At first, Sarah didn't know what to say. Then she slowly remembered some things her mum had taught her about praying. Sarah started to thank God for all the wonderful things in her life. She prayed for her family and that God would keep them safe and healthy. + +When Sarah finished praying she thanked God for the special fork she had seen. It was different to the other forks in her house, and she was so excited to be able to pray to it. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there lived a little frog who was very ignorant. He lived his life in the pond, just hopping around and thinking only of himself. One day he swam past a big chain in the middle of the pond, but he was too ignorant to even notice it. + +One day, the frog met a wise turtle who said to him: "Little frog, why are you so ignorant? Don't you see the big chain in the middle of the pond?" + +"What chain?" asked the frog, confused. + +"It's a sign of the dangers of living life without thought," said the turtle. "When you are ignorant, the chain slowly grows around you." + +The frog was worried, so the wise turtle told him: "There is a way to break this chain. If you start to really think about the world, it will slowly shrink." + +So the frog started to think and explore, and slowly the chain did start to shrink. He learnt a lot of things along the way, and realised that by being ignorant, he was only hurting himself. + +The moral of the story is that ignorance can be a chain that holds us back, but intelligence and knowledge can set us free. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old and always very happy. One day, Lucy wanted to watch an opera. She asked her mum if she could watch it, and her mum said yes. + +The night of the opera, Lucy was so excited. She looked forward to the singing and dancing. As the music began to play, Lucy felt a little scared. She began to cry and tell her mum, "It's too loud." + +Her mum tried to comfort her, telling her not to worry. She held Lucy in her arms and said softly, "It's ok. Listen to the songs and they will make you feel happy again." + +Lucy slowly began to feel better. She listened to the soft music and, after a while, began to smile and laugh. The opera was so much fun, and soon Lucy felt like she was flying away. She was so happy she hugged her mum tightly as the music ended. +Once upon a time there was a pet bird. It loved to fly around the garden and look at all the beautiful plants. + +One day, the bird wanted to fly even further. It wanted to see the stars. So, it started to fly up into the sky. + +The bird's owner noticed and called out "Come back! You will not be safe out there!" But the bird could not hear and kept flying higher and higher. + +Just as the bird was about to touch the stars, a big bird swooped down and chased it away. + +When the pet bird came back to the garden, it learned an important lesson. Flying too far can be dangerous! It was best to stay safe in the garden and enjoy the beauty from there. +Once upon a time, there was a strong farmer named Sam. He had a big, busy farm and lots of animals. Every day he had to push around the farm to take care of all his animals and plants. + +One day, when Sam was pushing his wheelbarrow, he met a little chick.

I'm lost!" + +Sam insisted, "You have to push and find your way back home. It's important to stay strong and never give up!" + +The chick listened to Sam and pushed until she found her way home. The little chick was so happy! Sam was pleased and said, "It's important to stay strong and never give up, even when you are lost. Just keep pushing and you will find your way home." + +The moral of the story is that you should always stay strong and never give up, even when you are lost. If you keep pushing, you can find your way back home. +Once upon a time, there was a famous purple bear. Its name was Holdy. Everywhere Holdy went, people cheered and called him by his name.

The fox was so small that Holdy could not help but feel sorry for it. “Poor little one.†Holdy said. “Do you need some help?†+ +The fox nodded his head. So, Holdy said, “If you come with me, I will help you find some food.†+ +So, Holdy and the fox began to walk together. They soon reached a town. In the town, Holdy found some lovely purple fruits. He gave one to the fox and kept one for himself. + +Holdy and the fox ate the purple fruit together. The fox was so happy and grateful to Holdy that he said, “You are very famous and kind!†+ +Holdy smiled and said, “If you ever need help again, just remember to "hold" onto my friendship.

"Max, you shouldn't eat things off the ground!" they said. + +Max looked very guilty but he had already eaten the ice-cream. He wagged his tail as if to say sorry. + +Max's owner decided to be understanding. They said, "Don't worry, let's go and get you some more ice-cream. We can race to the ice-cream shop!" + +Max was so happy that he immediately started running. His owner followed suit and soon they were racing together down the street. Max was so excited that he couldn't help but bark with joy as he reached the ice-cream shop first. + +Once inside, Max chose his favourite ice-cream and the two enjoyed it together.

He was surprised to find something very interesting. + +Tom walked up to the wheat, and he was shocked to find an elephant! He said, "What are you doing here?" + +The elephant replied, "I measured the field, and it is big enough for me!" + +Tom couldn't believe it! He had measured the field for wheat, not for elephants. + +Little did Tom know that this Wednesday would be the start of a long friendship between the farmer and the elephant. Tom soon learned that the elephant, who he decided to call Jumbo, loved to measure fields, and would often help Tom on the farm. + +Tom would always say, "Thanks, Jumbo, I couldn't measure it all without your help!" + +And so, interesting events on the farm often took place every Wednesday. +One day, a little boy was walking near the beach, with his dad. They saw a big blue dolphin jumping and playing in the water. The little boy was so excited. He shouted, "Look dad! A dolphin!" + +His dad smiled. "Do you want to climb up and see it close up?" + +"Yes please! Daddy, can I please climb up and see it?" asked the little boy. + +"Of course," said his dad. + +So off they went, to a grassy hill near the beach. The little boy climbed up the hill, and eventually, he was close enough to the water that he could see the big, blue dolphin jumping up and down in the waves. + +He was so happy. He clapped his hands and started to laugh. "Look at the dolphin, daddy!" he said. + +His dad smiled. "That's amazing, isn't it?" + +The little boy nodded and kept watching the big, blue dolphin as it jumped in and out of the water. +Once, there was a mysterious clown. He was different from all the other clowns in town. One day, the clown decided to go to the park.

Suddenly, one little girl started to complain. "I don't like this clown," she said. + +The mysterious clown was surprised. He said to the little girl, "Why don't you like me? I am just like any other clown." + +The little girl said, "I don't know. I just don't like you. You make me feel uncomfortable." + +The mysterious clown felt sad. He smiled at the little girl and said, "It's okay. I understand. You don't have to like me." With that, the clown gathered his toys and left the park. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Sam. He was very smart and liked to act silly. + +Sam had a big yard with lots of grass and trees. It was a wonderful place to play. He would act like a silly little monkey jumping from tree branch to branch. + +When he wasn't playing in his yard, Sam would go to the store. There, he would buy all sorts of tasty treats. He would buy candy and ice cream, and then act like he was playing a game by jumping around the store. + +When he got home, Sam would enjoy all the yummy treats he had bought. He would sit in his yard, watching the clouds while eating his tasty treats. He felt so happy and content. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there lived a famous Princess called Amelie. Amelie lived in a tall castle on the hill. + +Every day, Amelie was guarded by her very brave knight, who wore a shiny shield. The knight was always there to protect her. + +One day, Amelie wanted to explore the world. She asked her knight if he wanted to come with her. The knight agreed and the two set off on a great adventure. + +They visited many different countries, but they were always ready to help army.

He did not know what it felt like to relax and take a nap in a comfy seat. One day, the elephant was walking in the forest and he found a very expensive seat. It was so splendid that it was glowing in the sunshine. + +The elephant approached the seat, and his eyes lit up. He thought it was the most beautiful seat he had ever seen. He said to himself, "I must have it!" + +He looked around to see if anyone was nearby. He saw nobody, so he got very close to the seat and said: "This seat looks perfect for me! Can I keep it?" + +Suddenly, a voice in the trees said: "Yes, you can keep the seat. But, it will be very expensive." + +The elephant was so delighted that his heart skipped a beat. He had the best seat in the forest, and he would never have to worry about not having a comfortable seat for his nap time. He seated on the chair, and he was so content. + +The elephant and the seat were friends forever. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She wanted to watch a cartoon. She got a white box and put it on the table. It made a funny noise. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't open. She tried again and again, but it still wouldn't open. + +Then the little girl had an idea. She got a stick and pushed the white box. All of a sudden, she saw pictures on the box. They were cartoon pictures! She smiled and tried to push the buttons. It worked! The cartoon started playing and she was so happy. + +The little girl clapped her hands and started to watch. She was so excited and smiled the whole time. She knew that if she kept trying, she could do anything. +Laura walked out of her bedroom carrying a case. She had had it for a long time and it was normal, but she needed something new. + +Her mom saw the case and worried, "What do you need the case for, sweetheart?" she asked. + +Laura smiled and said, "I need it to keep my things normal. I want it to be special." + +Her mom was so proud and said, "I'm sure your case will be very special! You can keep all your important items in it." + +After that, Laura went and found the perfect case. She knew it was perfect because it was even more normal than her old one. + +She felt proud and hugged her new case. She was sure it would make all her things feel special. +Little Ben and his Mummy were walking to the park. He loved to spend time outside - it was always so much cooler in the shade. + +Ben saw a little bird hopping around. It was so small and he loved watching it! He wanted to get closer, so he walked a little further and stretched out his hand. + +But the bird flew away too quickly. Ben was a little bit upset, but Mummy told him it was ok - it was just nature. + +They carried on walking to the playground. Ben was excited to go down the slide and swing high on the swings. He ran across the grass, laughing as he ran. He was so happy! + +Soon they arrived home. Ben said goodbye to the park and hugged his Mummy tight. He couldn’t wait to come back tomorrow. +One morning, Lucy opened her door and went outside. Suddenly, a letter appeared! It was thin and yellow. Lucy picked it up and asked her mum, "What is this?" + +"It is a letter," said Mum. + +"Who is it from?" asked Lucy. + +"You'll see," Mum said with a smile. + +The day went on and as soon as Lucy climbed up into bed, a knock came at the door. + +"I'll get it," shouted Lucy as she scrambled down off her bed.

It had the same yellow envelope and were both very thin! + +Lucy smiled. She had been expecting this letter. She knew that today was her birthday and it the letter was her birthday invitation. + +"Let's go celebrate," smiled Stella. + +And so they did. +Billy was a nosy 3 year old. Everywhere he went, he wanted to know what was going on. One day, he decided to follow a voice he was hearing. Billy did not recognize the voice, but he was curious. + +Billy followed the voice through the forest. The voice kept sounding closer and Billy kept following it. Eventually, Billy found himself in an old abandoned house. + +Billy heard the voice coming from the front room of the house. He cautiously entered and saw an old witch. She recognized Billy and cast a spell on him. Poor Billy was frozen and could not move. + +The witch gently said, "Billy, next time use your head and recognize when something doesn’t feel right. Don’t be so nosy." + +The moral of the story is to not be too nosy. While it can be tempting to find out more, it can also lead to trouble. +Once there was a little boy who was very tired. He was walking through the forest when he met a frog. + +"Good morning," said the little boy. + +"Hello," said the frog. "I can show you a secret thing. But you have to remember to never forget the knot." + +The little boy nodded. He had forgotten all about the knot. + +The frog led him to a tree and showed him a huge knot. The little boy was fascinated. The frog told him that it was a very special knot. + +But then the little boy noticed that he was getting very tired. He looked up and saw that the sun had set. He had been walking all day and had forgotten how late it was. + +The little boy quickly said goodbye and ran home. But he had completely forgotten about the knot and was never able to find it again. +Once there was a boy named Toby who had lots of questions about the world; but he was only three so he couldn't understand too much yet. + +One day Toby heard a loud noise outside. He asked his mom, "What is that sound?" His mom replied, "That's the sound of war. It's loud, and nasty, and no one likes it." + +Toby refused to believe that grown-ups could make such a loud and horrible noise, so he decided to go outside and investigate. As Toby stepped out of the house he saw lots of people fighting and shooting guns, and the air was filled with loud noise. He quickly ran inside screaming and crying, asking his mom why the grown-ups were being so loud and mean. His mom held Tobby close and reassured him that war is never a good thing, and it's something no one wants. + +After that day, Toby was a little more understanding of the world and why grown-ups do things that are sometimes scary and loud. He now understood that grown-ups, and even he, can make mistakes and do wrong things, but that doesn't mean it's okay. +Once upon a time, there was a pack of elderly friends.

They thanked the fisherman and gave him their fish. He thanked them and gave them a hug. + +They went back to the shore and had a picnic. They ate sandwiches and fruits and drank juice. They watched the water and the birds and the clouds. They felt peaceful and happy. They had a fun day at the lake. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big hill with many ants on it. Lily and Ben liked ants. They wanted to play with them. + +Mom said, "Be careful, ants can bite. And don't hurt them, they are amazing. They work hard and help each other." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took a stick and a cup. They dug a hole in the hill. They put some ants in the cup. They looked at them closely. They saw the ants had six legs, two antennas, and a black body. + +Lily said, "Wow, they are amazing. They are so small and fast. Look, they are talking to each other with their antennas." + +Ben said, "Yes, they are amazing. They are smart and strong. Look, they are carrying food and building tunnels." + +They played with the ants for a long time. They learned many things about them. They were happy. + +But then, something bad happened. A big dog came to the park. He saw the hill. He smelled the ants. He ran to the hill. He barked and dug. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to Mom. They cried, "Mom, Mom, the dog is hurting the ants. He is destroying their home. He is mean." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, I will stop the dog. He doesn't know better. He is just curious. But you are right, he is mean. He should not hurt the ants. They are amazing. They are our friends." + +Mom went to the dog. She shouted, "No, bad dog. Leave the ants alone. Go away." She threw a ball. The dog chased the ball. He left the hill. + +Lily and Ben went back to the hill. They saw the ants were still alive. They were busy. They were fixing their home. They were helping each other. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "We are sorry, ants. We are sorry the dog hurt you. You are amazing. You are brave. You are good." + +They put the ants back in the hole. They covered it with dirt. They said, "Bye, ants. Thank you for playing with us. We hope you are happy." + +They went to Mom. They said, "Mom, we love the ants. They are amazing. Can we come back and play with them again?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But remember, be careful, be gentle, and be respectful. The ants are amazing. They are living creatures. They deserve our care and kindness." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom. They said, "We will, Mom. We will." +Anna was very happy today. She had a new friend at school. Her name was Lily. Lily had long hair and a big smile. Anna liked to play with Lily. + +When Anna came home, she wanted to introduce Lily to her mom and dad. She asked Lily to come with her. Lily said yes. + +"Mom, dad, this is Lily. She is my new friend. We played with dolls and blocks today. She is very nice," Anna said. + +"Hello, Lily. We are happy to meet you. You are welcome here," mom said. + +"Hi, Lily. Anna told us a lot about you. You are a good friend to her," dad said. + +Lily smiled and said hello. She was a little shy, but she liked Anna's mom and dad. They were kind and friendly. + +Anna showed Lily her room. She had a lot of toys and books. She also had a big bed with a pink blanket and a teddy bear. + +"This is my bed. I sleep here every night. It is very important to me. It is cozy and warm. Do you have a bed like this?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, I do. I have a bed with a blue blanket and a bunny. It is also very important to me. It is where I dream and rest. Can I see your teddy bear?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can. His name is Bobo. He is my best friend. He is soft and cuddly. Can I see your bunny?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you can. Her name is Lila. She is my best friend. She is fluffy and cute. Do you want to play with them?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I do. Let's play with them on the bed. We can make a tea party and a castle. They will have fun too," Anna said. + +Anna and Lily played with their toys on the bed. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked. They shared their stories and secrets. They became closer friends. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are husband and wife. They like to build things together. They have a big box of blocks and a big box of tools. They can make houses, cars, planes and more. + +One day, they decide to build a rocket. They use red and blue blocks for the body, yellow blocks for the windows, and a cone for the nose. They use a hammer, a saw, and a screwdriver to make it strong. They are very proud of their rocket. + +They want to fly to the moon in their rocket. They put on helmets and suits. They climb inside the rocket and close the door. They count down from ten to one. Then they press a button. + +The rocket makes a loud noise and a lot of smoke. It shakes and moves. Tom and Sue are very excited. They think they are going to the moon. + +But the rocket does not go very far. It falls down on the grass. It breaks into pieces. Tom and Sue are very sad. They cry and hug each other. + +They smell something smelly. It is the smoke from the rocket. It makes their noses and eyes hurt. They cough and sneeze. They do not like the smelly smoke. + +They get out of the rocket and run to their house. They wash their faces and hands. They change their clothes. They throw away the broken rocket and the smelly smoke. + +They decide to build something else tomorrow. They still love to build things together. They are still husband and wife. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, bridges, houses and cars with their blocks. + +One day, they have a contest. They want to see who can build the highest tower with their blocks. They start to stack their blocks on the floor. They count how many blocks they use. Tom says, "I have ten blocks. I have more than you." Sam says, "No, you don't. I have eleven blocks. I have more than you." + +They keep stacking and counting their blocks. They do not pay attention to their towers. They only care about who has more blocks. They are foolish. They do not see that their towers are wobbly and unstable. They do not see that their towers are about to fall. + +Suddenly, a loud noise makes them look up. Their towers have crashed to the ground. Their blocks are scattered everywhere. They are sad and angry. They have lost their blocks and their contest. They have no towers to show. + +They look at each other. They realize that they have been silly. They say, "We are sorry. We should not have fought. We should have helped each other. We should have made one big tower together. That would have been more fun." + +They hug and make up. They start to pick up their blocks. They decide to share their blocks and build a new tower. They do not count their blocks anymore. They count their smiles. They are happy and wise. They are friends. +Tim and Liz were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had big luggage that they packed with clothes and toys. They were very excited to see their grandma and grandpa, who lived far away. + +They got in the car and drove to the airport. The airport was very busy and noisy. There were many people and planes. Tim and Liz saw a big clock on the wall. It said they had to hurry or they would miss their flight. + +"Come on, kids, we have to race to the gate!" their dad said. He took one luggage and their mom took the other. Tim and Liz followed them, holding their hands. + +They ran past many shops and signs and people. They saw an elderly lady with a hat and a cane. She was walking slowly with her luggage. She looked tired and confused. + +"Excuse me, can you help me?" she asked. "I don't know where to go. I'm looking for gate 12." + +Tim and Liz stopped and looked at her. They felt sorry for her. They wanted to help her. + +"Dad, can we help her?" Tim asked. + +Their dad looked at the clock. It said they had only five minutes left. He looked at the lady. He looked at the gate. He looked at his kids. + +He smiled and said, "Of course we can. We're going to the same gate. Come on, let's go together." + +He took the lady's luggage and put it on top of his. Their mom took the lady's hand and helped her walk. Tim and Liz walked beside her and talked to her. + +They made it to the gate just in time. They boarded the plane and found their seats. The lady sat next to them. She thanked them for their kindness. + +"You're very welcome," their dad said. "We're happy to help. What's your name?" + +"My name is Rose," she said. "And I'm going to see my grandson. He's about your age. His name is Tim, too." + +Tim and Liz gasped. They looked at each other. They looked at the lady. They looked at their dad. + +They couldn't believe it. They had just helped their grandma's sister. They had just met their great-aunt. They had just made a new friend. +Lily was a dog who loved to chew. She chewed on bones, toys, shoes and socks. Sometimes she chewed on things she should not, like mom's glasses or dad's book. But she was a good dog who wanted to make her family happy. + +One day, mom brought home a big bag of treats for Lily. They were crunchy and tasty and smelled like meat. Lily was so excited that she wagged her tail and licked mom's face. Mom said, "These are for you, Lily. But you have to be careful. You can only have one treat a day, okay?" + +Lily nodded and barked. She took one treat from mom's hand and ran to her bed. She chewed and chewed and chewed until the treat was gone. It was the best treat ever. She wanted more. She looked at the bag on the table. It was full of treats. She thought, "Maybe mom won't mind if I have one more. Just one more." + +She jumped on the table and grabbed the bag with her teeth. She tore it open and spilled the treats on the floor. She ate and ate and ate until she felt sick. She had eaten too many treats. She felt bad. She knew she had done something wrong. + +Mom came back and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You ate all the treats. You were not supposed to do that. You could get sick. You are a bad dog." + +Lily hung her head and whimpered. She was sorry. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not. She wished she had listened to mom. She wished she had not been greedy. She wished she had not chewed all the treats. She hoped mom would forgive her. She hoped mom would still love her. She was an old dog who made a big mistake. +Lila liked to play with her red crayons. She drew big circles and lines on the white paper. She was very happy. But then she ran out of paper. She looked around and saw a big wall. It was white too. She thought it would be fun to draw on the wall. + +She took her red crayons and started to make marks on the wall. She drew a sun, a flower, a heart and her name. She smiled and said, "Look, Mommy, I made art!" But Mommy was not happy. She saw the wall and said, "Lila, what did you do? You can't draw on the wall. That's bad. You have to clean it up." + +Lila felt sad. She didn't mean to be bad. She just wanted to make art. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know." Mommy gave her a cloth and some water and told her to wipe the wall. Lila tried to clean the wall, but the red crayons were hard to erase. She rubbed and rubbed, but the wall still had red marks. + +Then she had an idea. She remembered that fire could burn things. She thought maybe fire could burn the red crayons and make the wall white again. She went to the kitchen and found a match. She lit the match and brought it to the wall. She touched the match to the red crayons and hoped they would disappear. + +But they didn't. Instead, the wall caught fire. The fire was hot and bright and scary. Lila dropped the match and screamed. Mommy heard her scream and ran to the wall. She saw the fire and said, "Lila, what did you do? You can't play with fire. That's dangerous. You could get hurt." She grabbed a blanket and threw it over the fire. She put out the fire and hugged Lila. + +Lila was very scared and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know. I wanted to make the wall white again. I thought fire could burn the red crayons." Mommy said, "Lila, fire can burn many things, but not crayons. Crayons are rare. They don't burn easily. You should never play with fire. Fire can hurt you and the wall and the house. You have to be careful." + +Lila nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't play with fire again. I won't draw on the wall again. I'll only draw on paper." Mommy said, "That's good, Lila. I love you. But now we have to fix the wall. It has a big hole and it's black. We have to paint it." Lila said, "Can I help you paint it?" Mommy said, "Yes, you can. But only with a brush, not with crayons." Lila said, "OK, Mommy. I'll help you paint it. And I'll make it pretty." Mommy said, "That's nice, Lila. But please, no more fire." Lila said, "No more fire, Mommy. I promise." +Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big purple ball near the fence. They run to get it. + +"Wow, look at this ball!" Sam says. "It is so big and purple. Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's play catch!" Mia says. They throw the ball to each other. They laugh and have fun. + +But then a big dog comes. It barks and runs to the ball. It wants to take the ball away. Sam and Mia are scared. + +"Go away, dog!" Sam shouts. "This is our ball!" + +The dog does not listen. It jumps and bites the ball. The ball pops. It makes a loud noise. Sam and Mia cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia says. "The ball hurt me. It hit my arm. It is red and it has pain." + +Sam sees Mia's arm. He feels sorry for her. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I will protect you. The dog is bad. It should not hurt you or the ball." + +He takes Mia's hand and they run to their mom. Their mom sees their tears and their pain. She hugs them and says, "It's okay, Sam and Mia. You are brave and kind. You tried to protect your ball and each other. The dog is gone now. Let me see your arm, Mia. I will make it better." + +She puts a band-aid on Mia's arm. She gives them a kiss and a cookie. She says, "I love you, Sam and Mia. You are my purple stars." +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big balloon in the park. It was red and shiny and had gas inside. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can I hold it first?" Lily asked. + +"No, I saw it first!" Max said. + +They both pulled the balloon hard. But the balloon was not strong. It popped with a loud bang. The gas came out and made a funny sound. Lily and Max were scared and sad. They dropped the balloon and started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. Can you forgive me?" Max said. + +"I'm sorry, Max. I was mean too. I forgive you." Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They saw a cute dog running towards them. It had a floppy ear and a wagging tail. It licked their faces and made them laugh. + +"Look, a new friend!" Lily said. + +"Let's play with him!" Max said. + +They forgot about the balloon and ran with the dog. They had fun and were happy again. +Anna loves pink. She has a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike and a pink teddy bear. She likes to play with her pink things every day. But today, she is sad. Her friend Lily is coming over, and Lily does not like pink. Lily likes green. Lily has a green dress, a green hat, a green bike and a green frog. + +Anna sighs. She does not want to share her pink things with Lily. She thinks Lily will make them dirty or break them. She wants to play with her pink things alone. She does not want to play with Lily's green things. She thinks they are ugly and boring. + +Lily knocks on the door. Anna's mom opens it and smiles. "Hello, Lily! Come in, Anna is waiting for you in her room. You can play with her toys, she has a lot of pink things." + +Lily smiles back. "Thank you, Anna's mom. I like pink, too. But I also like green. I brought my green frog for Anna. He can hop and croak. He is very funny. Do you want to see?" + +Anna hears Lily's voice and frowns. She does not want to see Lily's frog. She does not want Lily to touch her pink things. She hides her pink teddy bear under her pillow and sits on her bed. + +Lily enters Anna's room and sees all the pink things. She gasps. "Wow, Anna, you have so many pink things! They are very pretty. Can I play with them?" + +Anna shakes her head. "No, they are mine. You can't play with them. You have your green things. Go play with them." + +Lily looks sad. She does not understand why Anna is so mean. She likes Anna, and she wants to be her friend. She holds out her green frog to Anna. "But Anna, I brought my frog for you. He is a gift. He is very funny. You can make him hop and croak. He will make you laugh. Please, take him." + +Anna looks at Lily's frog. She sees that Lily is generous. She sees that Lily is trying to be nice. She feels sorry for being rude. She thinks maybe Lily's frog is not so bad. She thinks maybe Lily's green things are not so ugly. She thinks maybe she can share her pink things with Lily. She thinks maybe they can have fun together. + +She smiles and takes Lily's frog. "Thank you, Lily. He is a nice frog. He is very funny. You can play with my pink things. They are very pretty. We can share them. We can be friends." + +Lily smiles and hugs Anna. "Thank you, Anna. You are a nice girl. You are very generous. I like your pink things. They are very pretty. We can share them. We can be friends." + +Anna and Lily play with the pink things and the green things. They make them hop and croak and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But Tim wanted to build a big castle, and Lily wanted to build a zoo. They started to argue. + +"No, I want the castle here!" Tim said, pointing with his finger. + +"No, I want the zoo here!" Lily said, pointing with her finger. + +They pushed and pulled the blocks. They made a big mess. They forgot to share and be nice. + +Then, Mom came in. She saw the blocks all over the floor. She saw Tim and Lily fighting. She was angry. + +"Tim and Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said. "You are not playing nicely. You are making a lot of noise. You are not being useful. You are being naughty." + +She took away the blocks. She made Tim and Lily sit in the corner. They had no blocks to play with. They had no fun. They were sad. + +They wished they had not forgotten to share and be nice. They wished they had used their fingers for building, not pointing. They wished they had been useful, not naughty. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +One day, a boy named Tom found a big bottle of water with a spray nozzle. He thought it would be fun to play with it and pretend he was a pirate. He put on a hat and a scarf and ran around the garden, spraying water at the flowers, the trees and the birds. + +"Ahoy, mateys! I am Captain Tom, the fiercest pirate in the seven seas! Surrender or face my water cannon!" he shouted. + +But he did not see his sister Lily, who was sitting on a swing and reading a book. She did not like to get wet and she did not like loud noises. She was very angry when Tom sprayed water at her and ruined her book. + +"Tom, stop it! You are not a pirate, you are a pest! You ruined my book and my dress! Go away!" she yelled. + +Tom laughed and sprayed more water at her. He thought it was funny to make her angry. He did not care that he was hurting her feelings and damaging her things. + +But then, he heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog from next door. Rex did not like water either, and he did not like strangers in his garden. He saw Tom with his spray bottle and thought he was a threat. He jumped over the fence and ran towards Tom, baring his teeth and growling. + +Tom was scared. He tried to spray water at Rex, but it did not work. Rex was too fast and too strong. He bit Tom's leg and made him fall to the ground. Tom cried and dropped his spray bottle. + +Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to help him. She saw Rex and grabbed a stick. She waved it at Rex and shouted, "Go away, bad dog! Leave my brother alone!" + +Rex was startled by Lily's voice and stick. He let go of Tom's leg and ran back to his garden. Lily helped Tom get up and hugged him. She saw that his leg was bleeding and his hat and scarf were torn. + +"Are you okay, Tom? That was a mean dog. Come on, let's go inside and get a band-aid and some ice cream," she said. + +Tom was sorry. He realized that he had been mean to Lily and that he had been foolish to play with the spray bottle. He thanked Lily for saving him and apologized for spraying her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was a bad pirate. I should not have sprayed you and ruined your book and your dress. You are a good sister. Can you forgive me?" he said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She forgave Tom and gave him a kiss on his cheek. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. You are a good brother. But next time, please be careful with the spray bottle. And maybe you can play something else, like a knight or a firefighter or a doctor." + +Tom agreed. He learned his lesson. He learned that playing with the spray bottle was not fun, but dangerous. He learned that he should not hurt others, but help them. He learned that he should not be a bad pirate, but a good friend. + +The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a book. She played with them every day in her room. She was happy and had fun. + +One day, she heard a loud noise from the bathroom. She ran to see what it was. She saw her big brother, Ben, standing by the toilet. He had a long stick in his hand. He was trying to reach something in the toilet. + +"What are you doing, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"I dropped my ring in the toilet. It was a gift from Grandma. She said it was a wise ring. It can make me smart and brave. I need to get it back," Ben said. + +Lily looked at the toilet. She saw the ring shining in the water. It was very deep and far. She thought for a moment. She had an idea. + +"Ben, I can help you. Give me the stick. I can stretch better than you. I am smaller and thinner. I can reach the ring," Lily said. + +Ben was not sure. He liked his ring. He did not want to lose it. But he saw that Lily was right. She could stretch better than him. He gave her the stick. + +Lily took the stick. She stretched her arm as far as she could. She touched the ring with the stick. She pulled it up slowly and carefully. She got the ring out of the toilet. She gave it to Ben. + +Ben was very happy. He hugged Lily and thanked her. He put the ring on his finger. He said, "You are a wise girl, Lily. You are smart and brave. You helped me get my ring back. I love you, Lily." + +Lily smiled. She was happy too. She said, "I love you too, Ben. You are a good brother. You share your toys with me. You play with me. You are fun." + +They went back to Lily's room. They played with her toys. They had fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with two wheels and pedals. They can go fast and slow, and turn left and right. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. They pedal hard and go up the hill. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +When they reach the top of the hill, they see a big lake. They see ducks and fish and boats. They also see a man with a big hat and a big beard. He is sitting on a bench and reading a book. + +"Hello, children," the man says. "Do you like the lake?" + +"Yes, we do," Ben and Lily say. "It is very pretty." + +The man smiles and says, "Do you know who I am?" + +Ben and Lily look at the man. They think he looks familiar, but they are not sure. They try to recognize him. + +"Are you... our grandpa?" Ben asks. + +The man laughs and says, "Yes, I am. How did you know?" + +Ben and Lily smile and say, "We saw your picture in our house. You have the same hat and beard as in the picture." + +The man hugs them and says, "You are very smart. I am happy to see you. Do you want to feed the ducks with me?" + +Ben and Lily nod and say, "Yes, please." + +They take some bread from the man and throw it to the ducks. The ducks come closer and quack. Ben and Lily laugh and have fun. They are glad they went up the high hill and found their grandpa. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their kayak in the lake. They took turns to paddle and steer the kayak, and sometimes they raced each other. They were very competitive and wanted to be the fastest. + +One day, they saw a big fish jump out of the water near their kayak. It was shiny and had sharp teeth. Sam and Mia were scared and screamed. The fish splashed them with its tail and made the kayak rock. Sam and Mia held on tight and trembled. + +They paddled as fast as they could to get away from the fish. They hoped it would not follow them or bite them. They reached the shore and jumped out of the kayak. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were safe and happy. + +They decided to play with their kayak another day, when there was no big fish in the lake. They went to their mom and dad and told them what happened. Mom and dad gave them a hug and a snack. They said they were brave and proud of them. + +Sam and Mia smiled and thanked them. They still liked their kayak, but they did not want to race anymore. They wanted to paddle and steer together, and enjoy the lake. They learned that being competitive was not always fun. +Anna loved to play with her mom's wallet. It had many shiny things inside, like cards and coins and pictures. She liked to open and close it with the zipper. But mom always said, "No, Anna, that is not a toy. You could lose or break something important. Put it back where you found it." + +One day, mom had to go out for a while. She told Anna to be good and not touch anything she should not. She put her wallet on the table and locked the door. Anna watched her leave from the window. She felt bored and curious. She wanted to play with the wallet again. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the wallet. It was heavy and soft in her hands. She unzipped it and saw the shiny things. She took out a card and looked at it. It had mom's name and a number. She wondered what it was for. She saw a slot on the door that looked like the card. She had an idea. Maybe she could unlock the door with the card. + +She slid the card into the slot and pushed. Nothing happened. She tried again and again. The card bent and cracked. She heard a beep and a click. The door was unlocked. She was happy. She opened the door and ran outside. + +She did not see the car coming. She did not hear the horn. She only felt a big bump and a lot of pain. She fell on the ground and cried. The wallet flew out of her hand and landed on the street. The coins and pictures scattered everywhere. The driver stopped and got out. He saw Anna and the wallet. He was scared and sorry. He called for help. + +Mom came back and saw the ambulance and the police. She saw Anna and the wallet. She was shocked and sad. She ran to Anna and hugged her. She checked if she was okay. She saw the card and the slot. She understood what happened. She was angry and sorry. She wished she had hidden the wallet better. She wished she had taught Anna not to play with it. She wished she had been there to protect her. She said, "I love you, Anna. I'm sorry, Anna. Please forgive me, Anna." +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges. But they did not like to share. Lily wanted all the red blocks and Ben wanted all the blue blocks. They grabbed and pulled and shouted at each other. + +"Give me that block!" Lily said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "You have too many!" + +They tugged so hard that the blocks fell down and made a loud noise. Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She told them to stop fighting and to clean up. She said they had to share and be nice. + +Lily and Ben hated to clean up. They hated to share. They hated to be nice. They made faces at each other and muttered under their breath. They threw the blocks into the box without looking. They did not see the spark that flew out of the outlet when they hit the cord. + +The spark landed on the rug and started a small fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It made smoke and heat and noise. Lily and Ben saw the fire and screamed. They were scared. They ran to Mom and hugged her. Mom called the firemen and they came with a big truck and a loud siren. They put out the fire and checked the house. They said it was safe but they had to fix the outlet and the rug. + +Lily and Ben felt dizzy and sorry. They realized they had been bad and caused the fire. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They said they would share and be nice. They hugged and smiled. Mom was glad. She said she loved them and they were lucky. She said they had to be careful and not play with cords or sparks. She said they had to be good and listen. Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They learned their lesson. They did not hate anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower that reached the ceiling. They worked hard and used all the blocks they had. + +"Look, Lily, we are almost done!" Ben said. "We only need one more block to complete our tower!" + +Lily looked around and saw a black block on the floor. She ran to get it, but she did not see the water that was coming from the kitchen. The sink was broken and there was a flood in the house. + +"Oh no, Ben, look!" Lily shouted. "There is water everywhere! It will knock down our tower!" + +Ben saw the water and got scared. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran to the sofa. They climbed on it and watched as the water reached their tower. The blocks fell down and floated in the water. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help!" they cried. "There is a flood in the living room!" + +Mommy and Daddy heard their cries and came quickly. They saw the mess and turned off the water. They hugged Lily and Ben and told them they were safe. + +"I'm sorry, kids, the sink was old and it broke," Daddy said. "We will clean up the water and get you new blocks." + +Lily and Ben were sad about their tower, but they were happy that Mommy and Daddy were there. They said thank you and helped them with the towels. They decided to build a new tower another day. +Anna loved to fly her kite. She had a gifted kite that was red and blue and had a long tail. She liked to watch it soar high in the sky, like a bird. She felt happy when the wind made it dance and spin. + +One day, she went to the field with her dad to fly her kite. The field was big and green and had many flowers. Anna ran with her kite and let it go. It flew up and up, until it was very small. Anna smiled and said, "Look, dad, my kite is soaring!" + +But then, a big cloud came and covered the sun. The wind became strong and cold. Anna's kite started to shake and twist. Anna felt scared and said, "Dad, my kite is in trouble!" + +Dad saw that the kite was too high and the string was too thin. He said, "Don't worry, Anna, I will help you." He took the string and pulled it hard. He tried to bring the kite down, but it was stuck. He pulled harder and harder, but the string broke. The kite flew away, into the cloud. + +Anna cried and said, "Dad, my kite is gone! I lost my gifted kite!" She hugged her dad and sobbed. + +Dad hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, Anna, I tried to save it. But you know what? Your kite is still soaring, somewhere. Maybe it will find a new friend, or a new place. Maybe it will come back someday. And you know what else? You are still gifted, with or without your kite. You are my gifted girl, and I love you." + +Anna looked at her dad and smiled. She said, "Thank you, dad, I love you too. And I hope my kite is happy, wherever it is." She wiped her tears and said, "Can we get a new kite, dad? A yellow one, with a big bow?" + +Dad nodded and said, "Sure, Anna, we can get a new kite. A yellow one, with a big bow. And we can fly it together, in the field, on a sunny day. And we can watch it soar, like your old kite. How does that sound?" + +Anna clapped and said, "That sounds great, dad! Let's go get a new kite!" She took her dad's hand and they walked away, leaving the field behind. +Anna and Ben are sister and brother. They like to play outside in the yard. They have a ball and a net. They try to catch the ball with the net. + +One day, the sky is gray and the wind is strong. Anna and Ben still want to play. They throw the ball high in the air. The wind blows the ball away. They run after the ball. + +The ball lands in a big puddle. Anna and Ben get wet and muddy. They laugh and splash. They catch the ball with the net. They are happy. + +But then they see Mom. Mom is not happy. She says they are dirty and cold. She tells them to go inside and take a bath. Anna and Ben say sorry. They hug Mom. They go inside and take a bath. They are clean and warm. They still have the ball and the net. They can play again tomorrow. +Sam liked to dream. He dreamed of flying in a big plane. He dreamed of seeing new places and people. He dreamed of eating yummy food from different lands. + +One day, Sam's dad took him to the airport. He said they were going on a trip. Sam was very happy. He hugged his dad and got on the plane. He looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sky. + +The plane needed fuel to fly. Fuel was a kind of juice that made the plane go fast. Sam's dad told him that fuel came from the ground. People dug it out and put it in big tanks. Then they gave it to the planes. + +Sam was curious. He wanted to know more about fuel. He asked his dad many questions. His dad answered them and smiled. He said Sam was a smart boy. + +Soon, the plane landed in a new place. Sam and his dad got off the plane. They saw new things and met new people. They ate yummy food from different lands. Sam was very happy. He thanked his dad for the trip. He said he had a wonderful dream. His dad hugged him and said he loved him. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. One day, they see a big pole with a light on top. It is red and yellow and green. + +"What is that?" Mia asks. + +"It is a light pole," Ben says. "It tells cars when to go and stop." + +"Can we play with it?" Mia asks. + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "It is not for playing. It is for safety." + +But Mia is curious. She runs to the light pole and tries to touch it. Ben follows her and tries to stop her. + +"Mia, no!" Ben shouts. "It is not a toy. It is hot and dangerous. Come back!" + +But Mia does not listen. She reaches for the light. But the light is too high. She can't reach it. She jumps and jumps, but she can't touch it. + +She gets tired and sad. She sits on the ground and cries. + +"Ben, I can't reach the light," she says. "I want to touch it. It is so pretty." + +Ben feels sorry for Mia. He goes to her and hugs her. + +"Mia, I'm sorry," he says. "The light is not for us. It is for cars. We can't touch it. But we can look at it. It is pretty, but it is also fun. Do you want to play a game with it?" + +Mia wipes her tears and nods. + +"What game?" she asks. + +Ben smiles and points to the light. + +"See, the light changes colors," he says. "Red, yellow, green. We can play a game with the colors. When the light is red, we stop. When the light is yellow, we walk slow. When the light is green, we run fast. Do you want to try?" + +Mia nods again. She likes the game. + +"OK, let's play," she says. + +They stand up and wait for the light to change. They see the light turn red. They stop and freeze. They see the light turn yellow. They walk slow and careful. They see the light turn green. They run fast and happy. + +They play and play until they finish. They have fun with the light pole. They learn to go and stop. They are safe and smart. They are good friends. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tunnel made of wood and metal. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Can we go in the tunnel?" Tom asked Anna. + +"Yes, let's go!" Anna said. "Maybe we will find something fun." + +They ran to the tunnel and crawled inside. It was dark and cold and quiet. They could not see anything. They felt scared. + +"Tom, where are you?" Anna called. + +"I'm here, Anna. Hold my hand." Tom said. + +They held hands and moved slowly. They hoped to find the end of the tunnel soon. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a train. They realized they were in a train tunnel. A train was coming fast. They had to get out. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Tom shouted. + +They ran as fast as they could. They saw a light at the end of the tunnel. They reached the exit and jumped out. They were safe. + +They looked at the train as it passed by. It was big and shiny and noisy. They recognized their dad on the train. He was a train driver. He waved at them and smiled. + +"Hi, dad!" Tom and Anna yelled. + +"Hi, kids!" their dad said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We were playing in the tunnel, but we didn't know it was a train tunnel." Tom said. + +"That was very dangerous, kids. You should never play in a train tunnel. It's not available for playing. It's only for trains." their dad said. + +"We're sorry, dad. We won't do it again." Anna said. + +"I'm glad you're okay, kids. But you should go back to the park and play somewhere safe. I'll see you later at home." their dad said. + +"Okay, dad. We love you." Tom and Anna said. + +They hugged their dad and went back to the park. They decided to play on the slide instead. They learned their lesson. They never played in the tunnel again. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces that make a picture of a farm. + +One day, they want to play with the puzzle, but they have a problem. There is only one puzzle, and they both want it. They start to fight and pull the puzzle. The puzzle is not strong. It splits in two. Some pieces fall on the floor. + +"Look what you did!" Lila says. She is angry. "You broke the puzzle!" + +"No, you did!" Ben says. He is angry too. "You pulled too hard!" + +They are both sad. They love the puzzle. They do not want it to be broken. They do not want to fight. + +Then, they have an idea. They use their brains. They are amazing. They think of a way to fix the puzzle and share it. + +They pick up the pieces from the floor. They put them together. They make two smaller puzzles. One puzzle has the cow and the chicken. The other puzzle has the pig and the duck. They are both happy. + +"Look, we have two puzzles now!" Lila says. She smiles. "You can have the cow and the chicken. I like the pig and the duck." + +"Thank you, Lila!" Ben says. He smiles too. "You are a good sister. I like the cow and the chicken. You can have the pig and the duck." + +They hug each other. They are happy. They play with their puzzles. They are twins. They are amazing. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with clay. They make animals and people and cars with clay. They have many colors of clay. + +One day, they find a big box of clay in the garage. It is a gift from their grandma. They are very happy. They open the box and see many new colors of clay. They see blue and green and yellow and pink and purple and orange. + +They take some clay and start to make things. Sara makes a bird with blue clay. She gives it a beak and wings and a tail. Ben makes a plane with green clay. He gives it a nose and wings and a tail. + +They put their clay things on the table. They look at them and smile. They are very proud of their work. + +"Look, Sara, I made a plane!" Ben says. "It can fly very fast and high. Vroom, vroom!" + +"Look, Ben, I made a bird!" Sara says. "It can fly very high and sing. Tweet, tweet!" + +They pretend that their clay things can fly. They make noises and move them in the air. They have fun. + +But then, something strange happens. Their clay things start to glow. They become shiny and bright. They feel warm and soft. + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They look at their clay things. They see that they are not ordinary clay anymore. They are magic clay! + +Their clay things start to move by themselves. They flap their wings and fly away. They fly out of the window and into the sky. + +Sara and Ben run to the window. They see their clay things flying with the real birds and planes. They are amazed. + +"Wow, Sara, look at our clay things!" Ben says. "They are flying for real!" + +"Wow, Ben, look at our clay things!" Sara says. "They are magic!" + +They wave at their clay things. They hope they will come back. They wonder what other things they can make with their magic clay. They are very happy. +Sara and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a big melon on a table near the swings. The melon is green and round and looks yummy. + +"Can we have some melon?" Sara asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe the melon belongs to someone else," Ben says. + +They look around and see no one near the table. The melon is alone and quiet. + +"Maybe they forgot the melon. Maybe they don't want it anymore," Sara says. + +She walks to the table and picks up the melon. It is heavy and cold in her hands. + +"Let's go and find a hidden place to eat the melon," she says to Ben. + +She runs to the slide and climbs up. Ben follows her with a smile. + +They sit on the top of the slide and break the melon with their hands. The melon is juicy and sweet. They eat and eat and make a mess. + +They are happy and full. + +But then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, where is my melon?" the voice says. + +It is a man with a hat and a bag. He is looking for his melon. + +He sees Sara and Ben on the slide with the melon. + +"Hey, you two! That is my melon! Why did you take it?" he says. + +He is angry and loud. + +Sara and Ben are scared and sorry. + +They did not know the melon was his. They did not mean to make him mad. + +They slide down and give him the melon. + +"We are sorry, mister. We thought the melon was free. We were hungry and wanted some melon," Sara says. + +"Yeah, we are sorry. We did not ask if we could have some melon. We did not permit ourselves to take it," Ben says. + +The man looks at them and sees their faces. They are sad and honest. + +He sighs and smiles. + +"It's okay, kids. I understand. You can have some melon. But next time, please ask before you take something that is not yours," he says. + +He cuts the melon and gives them each a slice. + +They say thank you and eat the melon. + +They are happy and full again. + +They learn a lesson and make a friend. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they decide to travel to the park. They take their bikes and helmets. They ride fast and have fun. + +At the park, they see a man with a big cart. He is selling sausages. They smell good. Lila and Ben are hungry. They ask the man for two sausages. + +"Here you go, kids," the man says. "That will be two coins each." + +Lila and Ben give the man their coins. They take their sausages and sit on a bench. They bite into their sausages. They are hot and tasty. + +"Thank you, mister," Lila says. "Your sausages are the best." + +The man smiles. He is humble. He says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like them. Enjoy your day at the park." + +Lila and Ben finish their sausages. They throw away their wrappers. They get back on their bikes. They ride around the park. They see ducks, flowers, and swings. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara liked to play with her pink doll. She gave her doll a name, Lily, and a dress, and a hat. She hugged her doll and talked to her every day. She felt happy and safe with her doll. + +But Tom, her big brother, did not like Sara's doll. He thought dolls were silly and boring. He liked to tease Sara and make her cry. He said mean things to her and her doll. He said, "Lily is ugly and dumb. She has no hair and no eyes. She is not a real friend. You are a baby for playing with her." + +One day, when Sara was in the garden with her doll, Tom came and snatched her doll away. He ran to the fence and threw her doll over it. He laughed and said, "Bye-bye, Lily! Have fun with the dogs!" Sara was very sad and scared. She ran to the fence and looked for her doll. But she could not see her doll. She only saw a big dog with sharp teeth and a loud bark. She cried and cried. + +Then, she heard a voice. It was Lily! She said, "Sara, don't cry. I am here. I am safe. The dog is nice. He did not hurt me. He brought me back to you." Sara looked and saw the dog holding her doll in his mouth. He wagged his tail and dropped her doll on the ground. He licked her doll and Sara's face. He was a friendly dog. + +Sara was very happy and surprised. She hugged her doll and thanked the dog. She said, "Lily, you are brave and smart. You are a real friend. I love you. And thank you, dog. You are kind and good. You are a hero." The dog barked and smiled. He liked Sara and her doll. + +Tom saw what happened and felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong and mean. He came to Sara and said, "Sara, I am sorry. I was bad to you and your doll. I will not tease you anymore. Can you forgive me?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, I forgive you. But you have to be nice to Lily and the dog. They are my friends." Tom agreed and said, "OK, I will be nice. Can I play with you and your doll and the dog?" Sara smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be gentle and polite." Tom nodded and said, "OK, I will. Thank you, Sara." They all played together and had fun. They felt happy and safe. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make shapes with the blocks. Sara makes a square with four blocks. Ben makes a circle with many blocks. They are happy. + +Then Sara sees a triangle block. She wants to make a triangle with three blocks. She takes the triangle block from Ben's circle. Ben is angry. He frowns at Sara. + +"Give me back my block!" Ben says. "You broke my circle!" + +"No, I want the triangle!" Sara says. "You have many blocks, I have few!" + +They pull the block from each other. The block breaks in two. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken block and the shapes. She hugs Sara and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, my little ones," Mom says. "You can share the blocks. You can make new shapes. You can be friends." + +She gives them each a half of the triangle block. Sara and Ben say sorry to each other. They smile. They make a heart with the two halves. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Tom is very fast with his scissors. He can cut many things in a short time. Lily is slower, but she is careful and neat. + +"Look, Lily, I made a car!" Tom says, holding up his paper. "It can speed very fast on the road. Vroom, vroom!" + +"That's nice, Tom," Lily says, smiling. "But I like my butterfly better. It can fly in the sky and land on flowers. Flap, flap!" + +Tom and Lily show each other their paper creations. They are both happy and proud. + +But then, Tom has an idea. He wants to make his car speed faster. He sees a fan on the table. He thinks the fan can make wind for his car. + +"Watch this, Lily!" Tom says, running to the fan. He turns it on and holds his paper car in front of it. "My car will speed like a rocket!" + +But Tom is not careful. He holds his car too close to the fan. The fan catches his car and tears it apart. The paper pieces fly everywhere. Tom is shocked and sad. + +"Tom, no!" Lily says, running to him. She sees his car is gone. She feels sorry for him. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom. We can make another car. Or maybe a plane. Or a boat. Anything you want." + +Tom hugs Lily back and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was silly. I don't need a fan to make my car speed. I just need my scissors and my paper. And you." + +Tom and Lily go back to their paper and scissors. They make new things together. They are normal and happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many ants on the ground. The ants are busy and strong. They carry food and dirt to their home. + +"Look, Ben, the ants make a big hill!" Sara says. She points to the ant home. + +"Yes, they do. Can we make one too?" Ben asks. He picks up some dirt and puts it on a pile. + +Sara nods. She helps Ben make a dirt hill. They have fun and laugh. But they also get filthy. Their hands and clothes are dirty. + +"Oh no, we are filthy!" Sara says. She sees her mom coming. "Mom will be mad!" + +Ben sees his mom too. He is scared. "What can we do?" he asks. + +Sara thinks. She has an idea. "Let's say the ants did it!" she says. She runs to her mom and hugs her. + +"Mom, we are sorry. The ants made us filthy. They threw dirt at us!" she says. + +Ben follows Sara. He nods. "Yes, mom, the ants are naughty. They made a mess!" he says. + +Their moms look at them. They see the dirt hill and the ants. They know Sara and Ben are lying. But they also see their happy faces. They smile and shake their heads. + +"OK, you two. The ants made you filthy. But you also made a nice hill. Come on, let's go inside and get clean. Then you can have a snack and tell us more about the ants." they say. + +Sara and Ben are glad. They love their moms. They also love the ants. They hope the ants like their hill. They say goodbye to the ants and go inside. They are still filthy, but they are also happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to walk with Mom and Dad in the morning. They see many things on the way. They see birds, flowers, cars, and dogs. + +One morning, the sky is very clear. Lily and Max can see the sun and the clouds. They can also see a big hill far away. + +"Look, Max, a hill!" Lily says. + +"What is a hill?" Max asks. + +"A hill is like a big bump on the ground. You can walk up and down a hill. It is fun," Lily says. + +"I want to walk on the hill. Can we go there, Mom?" Max says. + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe another day, Max. The hill is too far for us to walk today. But we can walk to the park and play on the slide and the swing. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Max nod and say, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good." + +They hold Mom and Dad's hands and walk to the park. They are happy. They like to walk in the morning. +Anna likes to gaze at the stars at night. She thinks they are pretty and shiny. She wonders what they are and how they got there. Sometimes she makes up stories about them in her head. + +One night, she hears a soft sound from outside her window. She gets up and looks out. She sees a man with a guitar. He is a musician. He is playing a song for the stars. Anna likes his song. It is sweet and sad. + +She opens her window and waves at him. He smiles and waves back. He asks her if she likes his song. She nods and says yes. He tells her he plays for the stars because they are lonely and need a friend. He says he is lonely too. + +Anna feels sorry for him. She asks him if he wants to come in and be her friend. He says he would like that, but he is tired. He has been playing all night. He says he will come back another night and play for her too. + +Anna says okay and tells him good night. She closes her window and goes back to bed. She falls asleep listening to his song. She dreams of the stars and the musician. She thinks they are both pretty and shiny. She hopes they are not too lonely. +Lily and Tom were bored at home. They wanted to go out and play, but it was too hot and sunny. Their mom said they had to stay inside and drink water. + +"Can we do something fun, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe we can play a game, or read a book, or draw a picture," mom suggested. + +But Lily and Tom did not like those ideas. They wanted to do something different and exciting. + +"I know!" Tom said. "Let's go to the beach!" + +"The beach?" mom said. "But it's so hot and sunny. And we don't have any swimsuits or towels or sunscreen." + +"We don't need those things, mom," Tom said. "We can just wear our clothes and play in the sand and water. It will be fun!" + +Mom thought for a moment. She knew that going to the beach was unusual for them, but she also wanted to make her children happy. And maybe the beach would be cooler and breezier than their home. + +"Okay," mom said. "But we have to be careful and not stay too long. And we have to wear hats and sunglasses and drink lots of water." + +Lily and Tom cheered and ran to get their hats and sunglasses. They were so happy to go to the beach. They hoped to see some fish and shells and crabs. They did not know that the beach had a surprise for them. A big, friendly, unusual surprise. A surprise that would make their day even more fun. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted a snack. They looked in the fridge. They saw some cheese, some grapes, and some celery. + +"Can we have cheese and grapes?" Ben asked. + +"No, we need to eat celery first," Lily said. "Mommy said celery is good for us. It makes us strong and healthy." + +Ben made a face. He did not like celery. He thought it was bitter and crunchy. He wanted something sweet and soft. + +"I don't want celery," he said. "It is yucky. Cheese and grapes are yummy." + +He reached for the cheese. Lily slapped his hand. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Ben cried. + +"Stop being foolish," Lily said. "You have to eat celery. Mommy will be mad if you don't." + +She took a big bite of celery. She smiled. She wanted to show Ben that celery was not bad. + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw her smile. He thought she was teasing him. He felt angry. He grabbed a piece of celery. He threw it at Lily. + +"Hey! Don't do that!" Lily shouted. + +The celery hit Lily in the face. It made a mess. Some of it fell on the floor. Some of it stuck to her hair. + +Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He threw another piece of celery. + +Lily screamed. She threw some celery back at Ben. + +Soon, they were having a celery fight. They threw celery at each other. They did not care about the mess. They did not care about the snack. They only cared about the fun. + +They did not hear Mommy come home. They did not see her open the fridge. They did not notice her angry face. + +"What are you doing?" Mommy yelled. + +Ben and Lily stopped. They looked at Mommy. They saw her angry face. They felt scared. + +They looked at the fridge. They saw the cheese and the grapes. They saw the celery. They saw the mess. + +They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had eaten the celery. They wished they had not been foolish. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a green ball under a tree. It was shiny and bouncy. They decided to share it and take turns throwing it. + +"Look, Anna, I can throw it very high!" Ben said. He threw the ball as hard as he could. It flew up in the air and landed on a branch. "Oh no, our ball is stuck!" Anna said. They tried to reach it, but it was too high. + +They were sad and scared. They did not want to lose their ball. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and cried. "Don't worry, Ben, we will get our ball back," Anna said. She tried to comfort him. + +Then, they heard a voice. "Hello, little ones, do you need some help?" It was a man with a big ladder. He was wearing a green hat and a green shirt. He smiled at them. "I saw your ball on the tree. I can get it for you. What is your name?" + +"I'm Anna and this is Ben. Thank you, mister, you are very kind," Anna said. Ben nodded and wiped his tears. The man climbed the ladder and got the ball. He gave it to them and said, "Here you go, enjoy your ball. And remember, green is the color of hope." + +Anna and Ben were happy and grateful. They thanked the man and ran to play with their ball. They learned that sometimes, things go wrong, but there is always someone who can help. And they always had each other to comfort. They never forgot the man with the green hat and the green shirt. He was their hero. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together and draw pictures. One day, they found a big box of crayons in the classroom. There were many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. + +"Wow, look at all these crayons!" Lily said. "Can we use them?" + +"Yes, we can," Max said. "But we have to share them and be careful. They are not ours. They belong to the teacher." + +Lily and Max nodded. They each picked a crayon and started to draw on a piece of paper. Lily chose a pink crayon and drew a flower. Max chose a brown crayon and drew a bear. + +After a while, Lily wanted to draw a butterfly. She needed a purple crayon, but she did not have one. She looked at Max's paper and saw that he had a purple crayon. + +"Max, can you lend me your purple crayon, please?" Lily asked. "I want to draw a butterfly." + +"Sure, Lily, you can have it," Max said. "But can you lend me your pink crayon, please? I want to draw a heart." + +"Okay, Max, you can have it," Lily said. "Thank you for lending me your purple crayon." + +They swapped crayons and finished their drawings. Lily's butterfly was adorable. Max's heart was cute. They were very happy with their pictures. + +They showed their pictures to the teacher. The teacher smiled and praised them. + +"Wow, Lily and Max, you are very good at drawing. And you are very good at sharing. I'm proud of you," the teacher said. + +Lily and Max smiled and hugged each other. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But they do not like to eat their food. They always say, "No, thank you" when Mom puts food on their plates. + +One day, Mom makes a yellow cake for dessert. It smells good and looks yummy. Lily and Ben want to eat the cake. But Mom says, "No, you have to eat your dinner first. Then you can have some cake." + +Lily and Ben look at their plates. They see green beans, carrots, and chicken. They do not want to eat them. They want to eat the cake. They think of a plan. They say, "Mom, can we feed Spot? He looks hungry." + +Mom says, "Okay, but only a little bit. He already had his food. And you have to eat your food, too." + +Lily and Ben take their plates and go to Spot. They give him some green beans, some carrots, and some chicken. Spot is happy. He eats the food. Lily and Ben smile. They think they are clever. + +They go back to the table. They say, "Mom, we ate our food. Can we have some cake now?" + +Mom looks at their plates. They are empty. She says, "Wow, you ate your food very fast. You must have been hungry." + +She goes to the kitchen to get the cake. But when she comes back, she sees something. She sees Spot. He is lying on the floor. He looks sick. He has a tummy ache. He ate too much food. + +Mom says, "Oh, no! What did you do? You did not eat your food. You gave it to Spot. That was not nice. That was not good for him. He is not supposed to eat your food. He has his own food. Now he is sick. And you are not getting any cake." + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They see Spot. He looks sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Spot. We did not mean to hurt him. We just wanted some cake." + +Mom says, "I know you wanted some cake. But you have to eat your food first. Your food is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And you have to be kind to Spot. He is your friend. He loves you. You have to love him, too." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will eat our food next time. And we will be kind to Spot. Can we hug him and say sorry?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But be gentle. He needs some rest. And maybe later, if he feels better, you can have a small piece of cake." + +Lily and Ben hug Spot and say sorry. They hope he feels better soon. They learn their lesson. They learn to eat their food and to be kind to their dog. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big green tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. + +They climbed the tree very carefully. They saw a nest with three eggs. They were blue and shiny. They heard a loud chirp. A bird was flying to the nest. It was the mother bird. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "We like your eggs. They are pretty." + +The bird was angry. She did not want Lily and Ben near her eggs. She flapped her wings and pecked at them. She wanted them to go away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried. "The bird is hurting us. We are sorry, bird. We will leave." + +But they were too scared to climb down. They were stuck in the tree. They called for help. + +"Help, help, help!" Lily and Ben shouted. "We are in the tree. The bird is mad. We want to go down." + +Sam was walking his dog, Spot. He heard Lily and Ben's cries. He looked up and saw them in the tree. He saw the bird too. + +"Don't worry, Lily and Ben!" Sam said. "I will rescue you. Spot, stay here. I will be back soon." + +Sam climbed the tree. He was brave and strong. He reached Lily and Ben. He helped them down. He was careful not to touch the eggs or the bird. + +"Thank you, Sam!" Lily and Ben said. "You are a hero. You saved us from the bird. We are grateful." + +"You're welcome, Lily and Ben!" Sam said. "But next time, don't climb the tree. The bird is protecting her eggs. She is scared of you. You should respect her home." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged Sam and Spot. They went back to play in the park. They stayed away from the tree. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma, who lived far away. They had to pack their bags and get ready for the long trip. Lily loved her grandma, but she did not want to leave her pet bird, Sunny, behind. She wanted to take Sunny with her, in his birdcage. + +"Please, Mom, can I bring Sunny?" Lily asked. "He will be lonely and sad without me." + +"No, Lily, you can't," Mom said. "Sunny is too big for the car, and grandma has a cat. It is not safe for Sunny to go with us. He will stay with Mrs. Lee, our neighbor. She will feed him and play with him every day." + +Lily was not happy. She hugged Sunny and put him in his birdcage. She gave him some seeds and water, and a toy to chew on. She said goodbye to him and told him she would be back soon. + +Mom and Tom put their bags in the car, and called for Lily. Lily picked up her birdcage and followed them. She did not want to leave Sunny with Mrs. Lee. She had a plan. She would hide Sunny in the car, and take him to grandma's house. She was sure grandma would love Sunny, and the cat would not bother him. + +She put the birdcage under a blanket in the back seat, and got in the car. She hoped Mom and Tom would not notice. She smiled and waved to Mrs. Lee, who came to the door to say goodbye. + +The car drove away, and Lily felt happy. She had her birdcage with her, and Sunny was safe. She did not know that the birdcage was very old and rusty. It had belonged to her great-grandpa, who had found it in an ancient castle. It had a secret lock, that only he knew how to open. + +As the car bumped and turned on the road, the lock came loose, and the door of the birdcage swung open. Sunny saw the opening, and flew out of the cage. He was scared and confused. He did not know where he was. He saw a window, and flew towards it. He hit the glass, and fell to the floor. + +Lily heard a thud, and looked back. She saw Sunny lying on the floor, not moving. She screamed and cried. She reached for him, but it was too late. Sunny was dead. + +Mom and Tom heard Lily's scream, and turned around. They saw the birdcage, and the dead bird. They were shocked and angry. They yelled at Lily, and told her she was naughty and stupid. They said she had killed Sunny, and ruined the trip. They said they would not go to grandma's house, but turn back and go home. + +Lily felt very sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to Mom, and left Sunny with Mrs. Lee. She wished she had not taken the birdcage, and let Sunny out. She wished she could say sorry to Sunny, and hug him again. She wished she could go to grandma's house, and have fun with her. But she could not. She had made a big mistake, and lost her best friend. She had no birdcage, and no Sunny. She had nothing. +Lily wanted to buy a new doll. She saw one in the shop window that had long hair and a pretty dress. She asked her mom if she could have it. + +"Maybe for your birthday, sweetie," her mom said. "But we have to save money now. We have a promise to keep." + +Lily did not understand. What promise? She felt sad and angry. She wanted the doll now. She did not want to wait. + +The next day, they went to the park. Lily saw a girl playing with the same doll she wanted. The girl was friendly and smiled at her. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me and my doll?" she asked. + +Lily nodded. She liked Anna and her doll. They played together for a long time. They shared their toys and stories. Lily forgot about her sadness and anger. + +"Anna, we have to go now," her mom called. "Say goodbye to your new friend." + +"Bye, Lily. It was nice to meet you. Do you want to come to my birthday party tomorrow? You can bring your doll, too." + +Lily was surprised. She did not have a doll. She felt embarrassed and sad again. + +"Thank you, Anna. But I don't have a doll. I wanted to buy one, but my mom said no." + +Anna looked at her doll. Then she looked at Lily. She had an idea. + +"You know what? You can have my doll. She likes you very much. And I have another one at home. She can be your birthday present." + +Lily could not believe it. She was so happy. She hugged Anna and thanked her. + +"Are you sure, Anna? You are very kind." + +"Yes, I'm sure. It's okay. I like to share. And you are my friend." + +Lily's mom came over. She saw what happened. She smiled and hugged both girls. + +"That was very generous of you, Anna. You made Lily very happy. And you kept your promise." + +Lily looked at her mom. She remembered the promise. It was to give something to someone who needed it more. Her mom had told her that before they went to the park. She did not understand then. But now she did. + +She hugged her mom and her new doll. She felt proud and grateful. + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, Anna. You are the best. I love you both." +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a big basket of laundry on the porch. It had clothes and towels and sheets. + +"Let's play with the laundry!" Lily said. She ran to the basket and grabbed a sheet. She wrapped it around her like a cape. "I'm a superhero!" + +Max followed her and took a towel. He tied it around his neck like a scarf. "I'm a spy!" + +They pretended to fly and sneak around the garden. They had fun with the laundry. + +But then they heard a voice. It was Mom. She was looking for the laundry. She saw Lily and Max playing with it. + +"Hey, you two!" Mom said. "What are you doing with the laundry? It's clean and ready to fold!" + +Lily and Max stopped playing. They looked at Mom. They felt a little guilty. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We were just playing." + +"Yeah, sorry, Mom," Max said. "We didn't mean to mess it up." + +Mom smiled. She was not angry. She thought Lily and Max were cute. + +"It's okay," Mom said. "But now you have to help me fold it. Come on, let's go to the porch." + +Lily and Max nodded. They dropped the sheet and the towel. They ran to the porch. They helped Mom fold the laundry. They learned how to make neat piles and match the socks. They still had fun with the laundry. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the pond. They liked to make the boats sail with the wind and watch them go fast. Lily had a white boat and Tom had a red boat. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Tom said to Lily. He made his boat go near Lily's boat and bumped it with his. + +"Hey, don't do that!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. She liked her white boat and did not want Tom to hurt it. + +"I can do what I want!" Tom said. He bumped Lily's boat again and again. He laughed and did not care. + +Lily felt a big slap on her face. It was Tom. He slapped her hard because he wanted to make her cry. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Lily cried. She felt pain and tears in her eyes. She did not understand why Tom was so mean. + +Tom did not say sorry. He took Lily's white boat and threw it in the water. He watched it sink and said, "Now you have no boat!" + +Lily was very sad and scared. She ran away from Tom and looked for her mom. She wanted to hug her and tell her what Tom did. She did not want to play with Tom ever again. Tom was a bad boy. +One day, a little girl named Lily wanted to go to the park. She asked her mom, "Can we go to the park, please?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can go, but you have to bring your bear. He is your friend and he will keep you safe." + +Lily was happy and ran to get her bear. He was a brown bear with a red scarf. His name was Ben. Lily loved Ben very much. She hugged him and said, "Let's go to the park, Ben. We will have fun." + +They went to the park with Lily's mom. There were many things to do. Lily and Ben went on the slide, the swing, and the seesaw. They also played with some other kids and their toys. Lily and Ben had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Lily was scared and cried, "Mom, help! There is a big dog!" + +Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is not mean. He just wants to play. But you have to be careful and not touch him. He might bite you." + +Lily nodded and held Ben tight. She said, "Ben, you are my friend and you will keep me safe. You are a wise bear. You know what to do." + +Ben said, "Yes, Lily. I am your friend and I will keep you safe. I am a wise bear. I know what to do. We have to stay calm and not run away. The dog will not hurt us if we are nice to him." + +Lily and Ben did what Ben said. They stayed calm and did not run away. The dog came closer and sniffed them. He saw that they were not afraid and that they were nice. He wagged his tail and licked them. He wanted to be their friend too. + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Hello, dog. You are not mean. You just want to play. We can be your friends too." + +The dog barked happily and played with them. Lily's mom watched them and smiled too. She said, "Lily, you are a brave girl. And Ben, you are a wise bear. You both did very well. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben hugged her and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside with their kites. One day, they went to the park with their kites. The sky was blue and the wind was good. + +"Look at my kite!" Lily said. "It is pink and has a star on it. It flies very high." + +"Wow, your kite is pretty!" Ben said. "My kite is green and has a dragon on it. It flies very fast." + +They ran and laughed and watched their kites in the air. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a big cloud came. It was dark and angry. It made a loud noise. It started to rain. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. "The rain will spoil our kites!" + +They tried to get their kites back, but it was too late. The rain made their kites wet and heavy. Their kites fell to the ground and broke. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They picked up their kites and went home. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "Your kite was so pretty." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "Your kite was so fast." + +They hugged each other and said goodbye. + +They hoped that the sun would come back soon, and they could fly their kites again. +Lily woke up in the morning and saw that it was still dark outside. She rubbed her eyes and looked for her teddy bear. She could not find him on her bed or under her pillow. She felt scared and sad. Where was her teddy bear? + +She got out of bed and walked to the door. She opened it and saw a black shadow in the hall. She gasped and ran back to her bed. She pulled the blanket over her head and whispered, "Help, help, there is a monster!" + +The black shadow heard her and came closer. It said, "Lily, Lily, it's me, Daddy. Don't be afraid. I'm not a monster. I'm just wearing a black coat. See?" It took off the coat and showed his face. + +Lily peeked from under the blanket and recognized her daddy. She felt relieved and happy. She jumped out of bed and hugged him. She said, "Daddy, daddy, I'm sorry. I thought you were a monster. I was looking for my teddy bear. Have you seen him?" + +Daddy smiled and said, "Yes, I have. I found him in the living room. He must have fallen off the couch when we were watching TV last night. Here he is." He handed her the teddy bear and kissed her cheek. + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, daddy. You are the best. Can we watch TV together again tonight?" + +Daddy nodded and said, "Of course, we can. But first, let's have some breakfast. It's morning, after all. And don't worry, there are no monsters in the house. Only me and you and teddy bear." He took her hand and led her to the kitchen. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big hill of dirt with many small black things moving on it. They went closer and saw that they were ants. + +"Wow, look at the ants!" Lily said. "They are so busy and strong. They can carry things bigger than them." + +Tom nodded. He picked up a stick and poked the hill. The ants ran out and bit his hand. Tom cried out and dropped the stick. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The ants are mean! They hurt me!" Tom said. + +Lily shook her head. She took Tom's hand and blew on it. "The ants are not mean, Tom. They are scared. You hurt their home. They are trying to protect it. You should not poke the hill. You should say sorry to the ants." + +Tom looked at Lily. He felt bad. He did not want to hurt the ants. He wanted to be their friend. He looked at the hill and said in a soft voice, "Sorry, ants. I did not mean to hurt you. You are very impressive. I believe you work hard and help each other. Can we be friends?" + +The ants did not answer. They went back to their hill and continued their work. But Tom and Lily thought they saw some of them wave their antennas at them. They smiled and waved back. They decided to leave the ants alone and play with something else. They learned to respect the ants and their home. +Tim and Anna went to the park with their mom. They saw a big bear toy on a bench. Tim ran to the toy and hugged it. He said, "This is my bear. I like it very much." + +Anna wanted to play with the bear too. She said, "Tim, can I have a turn? Please share the bear with me." + +But Tim was selfish. He did not want to share. He said, "No, this is my bear. You can't have it. Go away." + +Anna was sad. She cried and ran to their mom. She said, "Mom, Tim is selfish. He won't share the bear with me." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Tim, that is not nice. You should share with your sister. The bear is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they left it here by mistake. How would you feel if someone took your toy?" + +Tim thought for a moment. He felt sorry for Anna and for the bear's owner. He said, "You are right, mom. I was selfish. I'm sorry, Anna. Here, you can have the bear. Maybe we can find the owner and give it back." + +Anna smiled and hugged Tim. She said, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I cried. Let's play with the bear together." + +They played with the bear until they saw a little girl looking for something. She said, "Have you seen my bear? I left it on the bench. It is my favorite toy." + +Tim and Anna said, "Yes, we have your bear. We are sorry we played with it. We thought it was lost. Here, you can have it back." + +The little girl was happy. She said, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Tim and Anna said, "Yes, we do. What is your name?" + +The little girl said, "My name is Lily. What are your names?" + +They told her their names and they became friends. They played with the bear and other toys in the park. They learned to share and to be nice. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with dolls. They had many dolls of different sizes and colors. One day, they decided to have a tea party with their dolls. They set up a table and chairs in the garden and brought some cups and plates. + +Lily had a thin doll with long hair and a pink dress. She called her doll Rose. Tom had a big doll with short hair and a blue shirt. He called his doll Jack. They put their dolls on the chairs and pretended to pour tea and serve cake. + +"Hello, Rose. How are you today?" Lily asked her doll in a high voice. + +"I'm very well, thank you. You look very pretty in your dress," Rose replied in the same voice. + +"Hello, Jack. Do you like the tea?" Tom asked his doll in a low voice. + +"Yes, it's very good. You are very smart in your shirt," Jack replied in the same voice. + +Lily and Tom smiled at each other. They were having fun and felt happy. They thought they had success with their tea party. + +But then, a big dog came into the garden. It saw the dolls and thought they were toys. It ran towards the table and knocked it over. It grabbed Rose and Jack in its mouth and shook them hard. It tore their clothes and hair and made them dirty. + +Lily and Tom screamed and cried. They tried to get their dolls back, but the dog was too strong and fast. It ran away with the dolls and left them alone. + +Lily and Tom were very sad and angry. They had lost their dolls and their tea party. They hugged each other and sobbed. They wished they had never played in the garden. They wished the dog had never come. They wished they still had Rose and Jack. +Lisa loves to wear her pink dress. It is her favorite dress. She likes how it feels and how it looks. She wears it every day, even when it is dirty or cold. She does not want to wear anything else. + +One day, Lisa's mom says they are going to visit grandma. Lisa is happy. She likes grandma. Grandma is nice and gives her hugs and cookies. Lisa puts on her pink dress and runs to the car. She does not see the big puddle on the road. + +When they get to grandma's house, Lisa jumps out of the car. She runs to the door. She does not see the mud on the steps. She slips and falls. She gets mud all over her pink dress. She cries. She does not want to see grandma in her dirty dress. + +Grandma hears Lisa cry. She comes out of the door. She sees Lisa and her pink dress. She does not get mad. She smiles and picks her up. She says, "Don't worry, Lisa. I have something for you. Come inside and I will show you." + +Grandma takes Lisa to her bedroom. She opens her closet. She shows Lisa a beautiful dress. It is blue and has flowers on it. It is grandma's old dress. She says, "This was my dress when I was a little girl. I wore it to many parties and picnics. It is very special to me. And now I want you to have it. You can wear it today and keep it forever." + +Lisa stops crying. She looks at the dress. She likes it. It is very pretty. She says, "Thank you, grandma. Can I try it on?" Grandma says, "Of course, my dear. Let me help you." Grandma helps Lisa take off her pink dress and put on the blue dress. She says, "You look beautiful, Lisa. Just like a princess." + +Lisa smiles. She feels happy. She hugs grandma. She says, "I love you, grandma. And I love your dress." Grandma says, "I love you too, Lisa. And I have one more thing for you. A massage." Grandma takes Lisa to the couch. She rubs her back and her legs. She says, "This will make you feel better. A massage is nice and relaxing. It is good for you." + +Lisa feels the massage. She likes it. It is nice and relaxing. It is good for her. She says, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best." Grandma says, "You are welcome, Lisa. You are the best too." They cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. Lisa forgets about her pink dress. She is happy in her blue dress. She is happy with her grandma. She is happy with her massage. She is happy. +Lily and Ben wanted to see the stars. They liked to look at the bright dots in the dark sky. They asked their mom if they could go outside after dinner. + +"Okay, but you have to hurry," mom said. "It is almost bedtime." + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the door. They put on their coats and shoes. They grabbed a flashlight and a blanket. They wanted to be cozy and warm. + +They went to the backyard and spread the blanket on the grass. They lay down and turned on the flashlight. They pointed it at the sky and tried to find the stars. + +"Look, there is a big star!" Lily said. "It is so shiny and pretty." + +"Maybe it is a perfect star," Ben said. "Do you think it can make wishes come true?" + +"Let's try!" Lily said. "Close your eyes and say your wish." + +They closed their eyes and whispered their wishes. They hoped the perfect star would hear them. + +But the perfect star was not a star. It was a plane. And the plane was flying very low and fast. It was making a loud noise. It was coming closer and closer to Lily and Ben. + +They did not hear the noise. They did not see the plane. They did not know what was going to happen. + +The plane crashed into the backyard. It hit the blanket and the flashlight. It hit Lily and Ben. + +They did not see the stars. They did not get their wishes. They did not wake up. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the pool. The pool was big and blue and cool. They had fun splashing and swimming and laughing. + +One day, a big boy came to the pool. He was mean and rude. He pushed Lily and Ben and took their toys. He said they were silly and dumb. Lily and Ben were sad and scared. They wanted to go away. + +But then, a smart girl came to the pool. She saw the big boy being mean and rude. She did not like that. She went to him and said, "Stop it! You are not nice. You are not the boss. You have to share and be kind. Or you have to leave." + +The big boy was surprised and angry. He tried to push the smart girl, but she was fast and strong. She dodged him and kicked him in the leg. He cried and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were happy and grateful. They thanked the smart girl and gave her a hug. She smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm Anna. Do you want to be my friends?" Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. You are very smart and brave. We like you." Anna comforted them and said, "Don't worry. The big boy won't bother you again. Let's play in the pool." They all played in the pool and had fun. They became good friends. +One day, a boy named Tom found a big hoop in his yard. It was old and rusty, and had strange marks on it. Tom wondered what it was and where it came from. He decided to ask his mom. + +"Mom, what is this hoop?" he questioned, holding it up. + +Mom looked at the hoop and smiled. "That is an ancient hoop, Tom. It is very, very old. It was made by people who lived long ago, before you and me and grandma and grandpa. They used it for fun and games, and sometimes for magic." + +"Magic?" Tom asked, curious. "What kind of magic?" + +Mom shrugged. "I don't know, Tom. Maybe they made wishes with it, or told stories with it, or danced with it. Maybe they used it to talk to the stars, or the animals, or the spirits. Nobody knows for sure. It is a mystery." + +Tom liked mysteries. He wanted to learn more about the ancient hoop and the people who made it. He decided to keep it and play with it. Maybe he could find some magic in it, too. He thanked his mom and ran outside with the hoop. He rolled it, tossed it, jumped through it, and pretended it was a crown, a wheel, a portal, and a friend. He had a lot of fun with the ancient hoop, and felt a connection to the past. He wondered what the ancient people would think of him and his hoop. He hoped they would be happy. +Tom and Lily liked to play on the sand. They made castles and bridges and tunnels. They found shells and stones and sticks. They had fun in the sun. + +But one day, they saw something shiny in the sea. It was a big, red ball. They wanted to play with it. They ran to the water and tried to catch it. They did not see the big waves coming. + +The waves were strong and fast. They wrap Tom and Lily and pull them into the sea. They could not swim or shout. They were scared and cold. They could not see the sand or the sun. + +Mom and Dad were looking for them. They saw the big, red ball in the water. They saw the waves and the foam. They did not see Tom and Lily. They were sad and angry. They could not find them. + +The big, red ball was not a ball. It was a balloon. It had a string and a tag. It said: "Happy Birthday, Sam!" It was a gift from someone far away. It flew away from the party and landed in the sea. It was a messy and mean balloon. It made Tom and Lily go away. +Sara was hungry. She wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and saw the fridge. She opened the fridge and peeked inside. She saw a big cake with pink frosting. It looked yummy. + +She reached for the cake, but then she heard a voice. It was her mom. "Sara, what are you doing?" her mom asked. "That cake is for your sister's birthday. You can't have it now. You have to wait until the party." + +Sara felt bad. She knew she should not take the cake. She closed the fridge and said sorry to her mom. "I'm sorry, mom. I was hungry. I didn't mean to ruin the cake." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "It's okay, Sara. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to learn to be patient and share. The cake is for everyone, not just for you. How about you have some fruit instead? That's healthy and tasty too." + +Sara nodded and agreed. She took an apple and ate it. She felt better. She learned that peeking in the fridge is not a good idea. She also learned that sharing is caring. She decided to wait for the party and enjoy the cake with her sister and friends. She was a good girl. +Lisa was playing with her dolls when she heard the telephone ring. She ran to the living room and picked up the phone. + +"Hello?" she said. + +"Hi, Lisa, this is Grandma. How are you?" a kind voice said. + +Lisa smiled. She loved talking to Grandma. Grandma always made her feel happy and safe. + +"I'm good, Grandma. I'm playing with my dolls. They are having a tea party," Lisa said. + +"That sounds fun, Lisa. Do you share your tea and cookies with your dolls?" Grandma asked. + +"Yes, Grandma. I share with them. They are my friends. I'm compassionate," Lisa said. + +"Compassionate? That's a big word, Lisa. Do you know what it means?" Grandma asked. + +Lisa thought for a moment. She remembered that Mommy had taught her that word. + +"It means I care about others and I help them when they are sad or hurt," Lisa said. + +"That's right, Lisa. You are very compassionate. I'm proud of you. You are a good girl," Grandma said. + +"Thank you, Grandma. You are compassionate too. You always call me and tell me stories and make me laugh," Lisa said. + +"You're welcome, Lisa. I love you very much. Do you want to hear a story now?" Grandma asked. + +"Yes, please, Grandma. I love your stories," Lisa said. + +"Okay, Lisa. Listen carefully. Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a big house with her parents and her brother..." Grandma began. + +Lisa listened to Grandma's story and felt happy. She loved her Grandma and her phone calls. She hugged the phone and said, "I love you, Grandma." +Lily liked to skip by the sea. She liked to see the big boats and the sailors. One day, she saw a sailor with a dirty hat and a dirty coat. He was sitting on a bench and looked sad. + +"Hello, sailor," Lily said. "Why are you sad?" + +The sailor looked at Lily and smiled a little. "Hello, little girl. I am sad because I miss my home. I have been on the boat for a long time and I have not seen my family." + +Lily felt sorry for the sailor. She wanted to make him happy. She thought of something. "Do you want to skip with me?" she asked. "Skipping is fun and it makes you feel good." + +The sailor was surprised. He had not skipped for a long time. He thought it was a silly thing to do. But he saw that Lily was very kind and friendly. He decided to try. He got up from the bench and took Lily's hand. + +"Okay, let's skip," he said. "But you have to show me how." + +Lily was happy. She showed the sailor how to skip. She skipped fast and slow, high and low, left and right. The sailor followed her. He felt silly at first, but then he felt happy. He forgot his sadness and he laughed. + +They skipped by the sea for a long time. They saw the big boats and the sailors. They saw the sun and the sky. They saw the birds and the fish. They had fun. + +"Thank you, little girl," the sailor said. "You made me happy. You are a good friend." + +"Thank you, sailor," Lily said. "You made me happy too. You are a good skipper." + +They hugged and said goodbye. They went their different ways. But they always remembered each other and their skipping by the sea. +Jen liked to play with blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make a stack of blocks as tall as her. She was proud of her stack. + +One day, Jen had a friend over. His name was Ben. Ben also liked to play with blocks. He wanted to make a stack of blocks too. But Jen did not want to share her blocks. She said they were all hers. She said Ben could only watch her stack. + +Ben felt sad. He thought Jen was not fair. He wanted to have fun with Jen, not just watch her. He looked around the room. He saw a ball on the floor. He had an idea. + +He picked up the ball and threw it at Jen's stack. The ball hit the stack and made it fall down. The blocks went everywhere. Jen was angry. She shouted at Ben. She said he was mean and bad. + +But then Jen saw something. She saw her mom and dad at the door. They had come to see what was the noise. They saw the mess of blocks and the ball. They saw Jen and Ben. They looked at Jen with a frown. They said she had to share her blocks with her friend. They said she had to say sorry to Ben. They said she had to help him clean up the blocks. + +Jen felt embarrassed. She knew she had been selfish and rude. She wished she had been nice to Ben. She said sorry to Ben. She said he could play with her blocks. She said they could make a stack together. Ben smiled. He said it was okay. He said he was sorry for throwing the ball. He said they could be friends.

He did not know that the soup was not a fire. + +"Tommy, you can't do that. You can't squirt water at the stove. It's very dangerous. You could burn yourself or start a real fire. You have to be careful in the kitchen. Do you understand?" his mom said. She hugged Tommy and dried him off. + +"I'm sorry, mommy. I understand. I was trying to help. I thought the bubbles were fire. I wanted to be a fireman," Tommy said. He hugged his mom back and apologized. + +"It's okay, Tommy. I know you were trying to help. But you have to ask me first before you do something like that. And you have to learn the difference between bubbles and fire. Bubbles are fun and harmless. Fire is hot and dangerous. Do you see the difference?" his mom said. She showed Tommy the pot and the soup. + +"I see, mommy. Bubbles are good. Fire is bad. I won't squirt water at the stove again. I'm sorry for the mess," Tommy said.
