She says, "OK, Ben, your turn." She gives the car to Ben. + +Ben takes the car. He is excited. He makes it rush and honk on the floor. He is happy. Lila watches him. She is envious. She wants to play with the car again. She waits for the beep. + +They keep switching the car every five minutes. They learn to share and wait. They have fun with the car. Mom smiles. She is proud of them. She says, "Good job, Lila and Ben. You are good twins." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were animals. One day, they decided to be tigers and roar at everyone. + +They put on their orange and black clothes and painted stripes on their faces. They crawled on the grass and hid behind the trees. They saw a man walking his dog and they jumped out and roared. + +"Rrrr! We are tigers! We are scary!" they shouted. + +The man and his dog were not scared. They laughed and said hello. + +"Hello, little tigers. You are very cute and funny. But be careful, not everyone likes to be roared at. Some people might get angry or scared. You should only roar at people who want to play with you." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They did not want to make anyone angry or scared. They wanted to have fun and be kind. + +They saw a woman sitting on a bench. She was reading a book and looked sad. Lily had an urge to cheer her up. She whispered to Tom. + +"Let's go and roar at her. Maybe she will smile and play with us." + +Tom was not sure. He thought the woman might not like to be disturbed. He was a dependable friend. He did not want Lily to get in trouble. + +"I don't think that's a good idea, Lily. She looks busy and quiet. Maybe she wants to be alone. Let's find someone else to play with." + +Lily listened to Tom. She knew he was right. He was a good friend. She smiled and said. + +"OK, Tom. You are smart and nice. Let's go and find someone else to play with. Maybe we can find another tiger or a lion or a bear." + +They ran off and looked for more friends. They had a lot of fun being tigers and roaring at people who wanted to play with them. They were happy and friendly. They were the best tigers in the park. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build houses, cars, animals and more. + +One day, they decide to build a big tower. They take turns to put blocks on top of each other. They are careful and polite. They say "please" and "thank you" when they share the blocks. They say "sorry" when they make a mistake. They say "wow" when they see the tower grow. + +But the tower is too high. It starts to wobble. Tom and Anna are scared. They do not want the tower to fall. They hold their breath. They hope the tower will stay. + +"Look, look!" says a voice. It is Ben, another child. He runs to see the tower. He does not see Tom and Anna. He does not know they are building the tower. He thinks it is a fun game. He wants to join. + +He pushes the tower. He laughs. He says "boom!" + +The tower falls. It makes a loud noise. The blocks scatter everywhere. Tom and Anna are sad. They are angry. They worked hard to build the tower. They say "no, no!" They say "stop, stop!" They cry. + +Ben is surprised. He does not understand. He did not mean to hurt them. He says "oops!" He says "sorry!" He feels bad. + +Tom and Anna look at Ben. They see he is sorry. They are polite. They say "it's okay." They say "let's play together." They smile. + +They pick up the blocks. They start to build again. They invite Ben to help them. They teach him how to be careful and polite. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to explore other rooms in the house. Sometimes they find new things to see and touch. + +One day, they see a shiny key on the table. It is smooth and cold. They wonder what it can unlock. They look around and see a door. It is the door to the attic. They have never been there before. + +"Let's go and see what is in the attic!" Ben says. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are working," Mia says. + +They take the key and go to the door. Ben puts the key in the lock and turns it. The door opens with a creak. They see a dark stairway. They are a little scared, but also curious. + +They hold hands and go up the stairs. They see a small window at the end. They walk towards it. They see a switch on the wall. Ben pushes it. A light comes on. They see many boxes and bags. They also see some old toys and clothes. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Mia says. + +"Maybe we can find something fun to play with," Ben says. + +They start to open the boxes and bags. They find a teddy bear, a doll, a train, a hat, and a dress. They are happy and excited. They try on the clothes and play with the toys. They forget about the time. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. It is Dad. + +"Ben! Mia! Where are you? Come down right now!" + +They are startled and scared. They drop the toys and clothes. They run to the door. But they see that it is closed. They try to open it, but it is locked. They left the key inside. + +They start to cry. They are trapped in the attic. They want to go back to their room. + +"Dad! Dad! Help us! We are in the attic!" they shout. + +Dad hears them and comes to the door. He sees the key on the floor. He picks it up and unlocks the door. He opens it and sees Ben and Mia. They are dirty and sad. + +"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" he asks. + +"We found a key and we wanted to see what is in the attic. We are sorry, Dad," they say. + +Dad is angry, but also relieved. He hugs them and takes them down. He tells them that they should not go to the attic without permission. He tells them that it is dangerous and dirty. He tells them that they have to clean up the mess they made. + +Ben and Mia say they are sorry again. They promise to not go to the attic again. They help Dad to put the things back in the boxes and bags. They also help Mom to wash the clothes and toys. They learn their lesson. They decide to play in their room with their own toys and books. They are happy and safe. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked their mom for some ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, mom? Please, please, please!" they said. + +"OK, but only one each. And you have to share with me," their mom said. She gave some money to the man in the truck and he gave them three cones with yummy ice cream. Lily chose chocolate, Sam chose vanilla and their mom chose strawberry. + +They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They walked back to the bench where they left their toys. But when they got there, they saw a big dog. The dog was sniffing their toys and wagging its tail. It saw their ice cream and barked. + +"Hey, that's our ice cream! Go away, dog!" Lily said. + +But the dog did not go away. It jumped on the bench and tried to grab Lily's cone. Lily screamed and held her cone high. The dog jumped again and knocked Lily down. Lily dropped her cone and cried. + +"Help, mom! The dog took my ice cream!" she screamed. + +Their mom heard Lily scream and ran to her. She saw the dog licking the chocolate ice cream on the ground. She was angry and scared. She shouted at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Leave my kids alone! Go away!" she shouted. + +The dog heard the woman shout and ran away. It was afraid of the woman. It did not want to get in trouble. It left the park and did not come back. + +Their mom hugged Lily and Sam and checked if they were OK. They were not hurt, but they were sad. They lost their ice cream and their toys were dirty. Their mom felt sorry for them. + +"I'm sorry, kids. That was a naughty dog. It should not have done that. How about we get some more ice cream and clean your toys? Would that make you feel better?" she asked. + +Lily and Sam nodded and smiled. They liked their mom. She was kind and nice. They went back to the truck and got some more ice cream. They chose the same flavors as before. They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They forgot about the dog and enjoyed their ice cream. They were happy again. +Sam liked to zoom on his bike. He zoomed fast and loud. He zoomed up and down the street. He zoomed past the cars and the dogs. He zoomed so much that he did not hear his parent call him. + +"Sam, come back! It is time for lunch!" his parent shouted. But Sam did not listen. He zoomed on and on. + +Then he saw a big truck. It was coming his way. It was bigger and louder than his bike. It was scary. Sam was fearful. He tried to zoom away, but he was too late. The truck honked and stopped. Sam fell off his bike. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried. + +His parent ran to him. He hugged him and checked him. He was not badly hurt, but he was scared and sorry. He said sorry to his parent and to the truck driver. He learned his lesson. He learned to listen to his parent and to be careful on the road. He learned that zooming is fun, but not always safe. He learned that his parent loves him and wants him to be safe. He hugged his parent and said thank you. He went home for lunch. He still liked to zoom, but he zoomed more wisely. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy boat. They had a big boat with a red sail and a blue hull. They took their boat to the river near their house. The river was high and fast because it had rained a lot. + +"Let's sail our boat on the river!" Tom said. He put the boat in the water and gave it a push. The boat sailed away with the current. + +"Wow, look at it go!" Mia said. She ran along the bank to follow the boat. "It's so fast and fun!" + +But then the boat hit a rock and flipped over. The sail got wet and the hull got stuck. The boat stopped sailing and started sinking. + +"Oh no, our boat!" Tom cried. He ran to the edge of the river and reached for the boat. But the water was too high and too far. He could not get the boat. + +"Don't worry, Tom. I have an idea!" Mia said. She ran to a nearby tree and broke off a long branch. She gave the branch to Tom and said, "Use this to get the boat. Be careful!" + +Tom took the branch and used it to hook the boat. He pulled the boat out of the water and held it in his arms. The boat was wet and dirty, but it was still their boat. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are so smart and kind!" Tom said. He hugged Mia and smiled. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You are so brave and strong!" Mia said. She hugged Tom and smiled. + +They took their boat home and dried it with a towel. They fixed the sail and the hull with some glue and tape. They played with their boat again, but this time they sailed it in a big tub. They had fun and they were happy. +Tim and Mia like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they are knights and princesses. They have swords and shields and crowns. + +They fight a dragon in the garden. The dragon is a big pillow with eyes and teeth. Tim and Mia take turns to hit the dragon with their swords. The dragon roars and shakes. It is a hard fight. + +At last, Tim and Mia make the dragon fall down. They are very happy. They have won the fight. They have a victory. They jump and cheer. They hug each other. + +They go back to the castle. The castle is a tent with a blanket. They put their swords and shields away. They put on their crowns. They sit on their thrones. They are the king and the queen. + +They have a party. They eat cake and drink juice. They sing and dance. They invite the dragon to join them. The dragon is not angry anymore. It is their friend. It is a weird friend, but a good friend. + +They bow to each other. They say thank you and good night. They are tired and happy. They have had a fun day. They go to sleep in their tent. They dream of more adventures. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to search for it in the grass or behind a tree. + +One day, the ball went over the fence and into the road. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a big car with a loud noise and a red light. It was an ambulance. The ambulance was going very fast and had to stop for the ball. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to go to the road. They waited for the ambulance to go away, but it did not. The ambulance driver got out of the car and picked up the ball. He looked at Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"Hello, kids. I'm sorry I had to stop for your ball. I was on my way to help someone who is hurt. Do you want your ball back?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy to see their ball, but they were also curious about the ambulance. + +"Can we see your car?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can see it, but you can't go inside. It's not available for playing. It's only for helping people who need it. Do you want to see the light and hear the noise?" the driver asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded again. They liked the light and the noise. They thought they were fun and exciting. + +The driver showed them the light and the noise. He also showed them some of the things he had in the car, like a bandage, a stethoscope, and a teddy bear. He explained what they were for and how they helped people. + +Lily and Ben learned a lot from the driver. They thanked him for showing them the ambulance and giving them their ball back. They also wished him good luck with helping the hurt person. + +The driver thanked them for being nice and careful. He told them to always stay away from the road and to play safely. He got back in the car and drove away with the light and the noise. + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the driver and the ambulance. They went back to the park and continued to play with their ball. They had a new story to tell their friends and their parents. They also had a new respect for the ambulance and the people who worked in it. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and talk to her. + +One day, Anna found a new doll in her room. It was unknown to her. It had short hair and a blue dress. Anna was curious. She picked up the new doll and said, "Hello, what is your name?" + +The new doll did not answer. It only repeated what Anna said. "Hello, what is your name?" it said in a funny voice. + +Anna was surprised. She tried again. "My name is Anna. Do you want to play with me and Lily?" + +The new doll repeated, "My name is Anna. Do you want to play with me and Lily?" + +Anna was annoyed. She did not like the new doll. It was boring and rude. She put it down and hugged Lily. "I don't like this doll, Lily. It only repeats what I say. It is not a good friend." + +The new doll repeated, "I don't like this doll, Lily. It only repeats what I say. It is not a good friend." + +Anna was angry. She threw the new doll across the room. "Go away, you silly doll! You are not welcome here!" + +The new doll repeated, "Go away, you silly doll! You are not welcome here!" + +Anna felt bad. She did not mean to hurt the new doll. She went to pick it up and saw a button on its back. She pressed the button and the new doll stopped repeating. It said, "Thank you for turning me off. I am a parrot doll. I can learn new words if you teach me. Will you be my friend?" + +Anna smiled. She realized the new doll was not boring and rude. It was just different and unknown. She said, "I'm sorry, parrot doll. I did not know you were a parrot. I will be your friend. What is your name?" + +The parrot doll said, "I don't have a name yet. Can you give me one?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She said, "How about Polly? Polly the parrot doll." + +The parrot doll said, "I like that name. Thank you, Anna. Polly the parrot doll." + +Anna hugged Polly and Lily. She said, "You're welcome, Polly. Come on, let's play together. You can learn new words from me and Lily." + +Polly said, "Yes, let's play together. I can learn new words from you and Lily." + +Anna was happy. She had a new friend. She did not care that Polly was unknown to her yesterday. She liked Polly and Polly liked her. They played with Lily and had fun. The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of shiny things and lights. They decided to pretend it was a spaceship and explore the universe. + +"Wow, look at all these buttons and switches!" Ben said. He pressed one and the box made a loud noise. "Maybe this one makes us go faster!" + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "You don't know what they do. They might be dangerous." She reminded him of the time he broke the TV by hitting it with a hammer. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I know what I'm doing. This is fun!" Ben said. He pressed another button and the box started to shake. "See? We're flying!" + +Lily felt scared. She wanted to get out of the box. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She banged on it and shouted for help. "Ben, stop it! Let us out!" + +But Ben didn't listen. He was too busy playing with the buttons. He pressed one more and the box exploded. The garage was on fire. Lily and Ben were gone. They were careless and they paid the price. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily has a red shovel and Tom has a blue one. They make a big pile of dirt and pretend it is a mountain. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom says, holding up his shovel. "It is long and wiggly." + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice worm!" Lily says. "Can I see it?" + +Tom nods and gives Lily his shovel. Lily looks at the worm and smiles. She likes how it moves and tickles her hand. + +"Let's put it back in the dirt," Lily says. "Maybe it has a family." + +They dig a small hole and put the worm inside. They cover it with dirt and pat it gently. + +"Bye, worm, have a good day!" they say. + +Then they notice something shiny in the dirt. It is a coin. It is round and shiny and has a picture of a man on it. + +"What is this, Lily?" Tom asks, picking up the coin. + +"I don't know, Tom," Lily says, looking at the coin. "Maybe it is a treasure." + +"Maybe someone lost it," Tom says. "Maybe we should give it back." + +They look around the garden, but they don't see anyone. They wonder who the coin belongs to. + +"Maybe we can buy something with it," Lily says. "Something sweet." + +"Like candy?" Tom asks, his eyes wide. + +"Yes, like candy!" Lily says, nodding. "Candy is sweet and yummy." + +They run to the house, holding the coin. They show it to their mom and ask her if they can buy candy with it. + +"Where did you find this, kids?" their mom asks, surprised. + +"In the garden, mom," they say. "In a hole." + +"Well, that's lucky," their mom says, smiling. "This is a special coin. It is worth a lot of money. You can buy a lot of candy with it, or something else you like." + +"Really, mom?" they ask, excited. + +"Really," their mom says. "But you have to be careful with it. Don't lose it or drop it. It is very rare and valuable." + +"OK, mom," they say. "We will be careful. Thank you, mom." + +They hug their mom and go to the store. They buy some candy and share it with their mom. They think the candy is very sweet and the coin is very lucky. They are happy and grateful. They keep the coin in a safe place and remember their adventure in the garden. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today they have to stay home. Mom is sick and dad is at work. They have to be quiet and good. + +They watch some shows on TV. They play with their toys. They read some books. But they are bored. They want to go outside and see their friends. They want to run and jump and laugh. + +They look at the clock. It is almost nap time. They do not like nap time. They are not sleepy. They want to stay wake. They have an idea. + +They sneak into mom's room. They see mom sleeping on the bed. They jump on the bed and tickle mom. Mom wakes up and smiles. She hugs them and kisses them. She says they are silly and sweet. + +They cuddle with mom and tell her stories. They make mom laugh. They forget they are bored. They are happy. They fall asleep with mom. They have a good nap. They stay home and have fun. +Lily likes Tuesday. On Tuesday, she goes to the park with Mom and Dad. They play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Lily likes to swing high and slide fast. She laughs and shouts with joy. + +After playing, they have a picnic on the grass. Mom has made sandwiches, fruit and cookies. Lily thinks they are delicious. She eats a lot and says thank you. Mom and Dad smile and hug her. They are happy. + +Then, Lily sees a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar and a tag. The tag says Max. Lily loves dogs. She asks Mom and Dad if she can pet the dog. Mom and Dad nod. They say yes, but be gentle and ask the owner first. + +Lily walks to the dog and the owner. The owner is a lady with a hat and a bag. She smiles and says hello. Lily says hello too. She asks if she can pet Max. The lady nods. She says yes, Max is friendly and likes children. + +Lily reaches out her hand and touches Max. Max wags his tail and licks her hand. Lily giggles and strokes his fur. She says he is soft and warm. Max barks and nuzzles her. Lily says he is cute and nice. The lady says thank you and tells Lily her name. Lily tells her name too. They become friends. + +Lily is happy. She likes Tuesday. She likes the park, the picnic and the dog. She likes Mom, Dad and the lady. She thinks Tuesday is a good day. She hopes to see Max again. She says goodbye and waves. Max barks and wags. The lady smiles and nods. They say goodbye too. Lily goes home with Mom and Dad. She tells them about her day. They listen and nod. They say they are proud of her. They love her. Lily loves them too. She hugs them and says thank you. She thinks they are delicious. +Lily liked to ride her armchair. It was big and soft and had wheels. She pretended it was a car or a plane or a boat. She would push it around the living room and make noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +One day, she found a new thing on her armchair. It was green and slimy and smelled bad. It was a disgusting snail. Lily did not like snails. They were slow and icky and left trails. She screamed and ran away from her armchair. + +Mommy heard Lily scream and came to see what was wrong. She saw the snail on the armchair and picked it up. She said it was not disgusting, but cute and friendly. She said snails liked to eat plants and make shells. She said Lily could keep the snail as a pet if she wanted. + +Lily looked at the snail in Mommy's hand. It was not so green and slimy anymore. It had a shiny shell and tiny eyes. It moved its head slowly and waved its horns. Lily thought it was kind of funny. She said she would keep the snail as a pet, but only if it stayed off her armchair. + +Mommy smiled and gave Lily a hug. She said they would find a nice home for the snail in the garden. She said Lily could visit the snail anytime she wanted. She said they would name the snail Sam. Lily liked that name. She said goodbye to Sam and thanked Mommy. She went back to ride her armchair. Vroom, vroom, vroom! +Lily was a humble girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She did not have many toys, but she was happy with what she had. She had a doll that she loved very much. She called her doll Anna. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Anna with her. She wanted to show Anna the flowers and the birds. She lay Anna on a bench while she ran to the swings. She said to Anna, "Wait here, I will be back soon." + +But while Lily was swinging, a big dog came to the bench. The dog saw Anna and thought she was a bone. He grabbed Anna with his teeth and ran away. Lily saw the dog and screamed, "No, no, no! That is my doll! Give her back!" + +Lily's mom heard her scream and ran to her. She saw the dog and said, "Oh no, Lily, I'm so sorry. That dog took your doll. He is a bad dog." + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She said, "Mom, I want Anna back. She is my best friend. I love her." + +Lily's mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily, I know. I love you too. Maybe we can find another doll for you. But no doll can replace Anna. She was very special." + +Lily nodded. She was still sad, but she was also brave. She said, "Yes, mom, you are right. Anna was very special. And I am special too. And you are special too. And we have each other. That is what matters." + +Lily and her mom left the park. They felt a shock in their hearts, but they also felt love. They went home and prayed for Anna. They hoped the dog would not hurt her. They hoped Anna would find a new home where someone would love her. They hoped they would see her again someday. +Tom and Ann were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys, clothes, and books, but they were not happy. They always complained about everything. They complained that their food was too hot or too cold, that their toys were too old or too new, that their clothes were too tight or too loose, and that their books were too easy or too hard. + +One day, their mom and dad decided to take them to a farm to see how other people lived. They saw cows, chickens, pigs, and sheep. They also saw a family who worked on the farm. They had a small house, a few clothes, and no toys or books. But they were happy. They smiled, laughed, and sang. They ate bread, cheese, and onion for lunch. They shared everything they had. + +Tom and Ann were curious. They asked the farm family, "Why are you so happy? You have so little." + +The farm family answered, "We are happy because we have each other. We have love, health, and faith. We have enough to eat and a roof over our heads. We are grateful for what we have and do not complain about what we do not have." + +Tom and Ann felt ashamed. They realized that they had been spoiled and ungrateful. They apologized to their mom and dad for complaining so much. They also thanked the farm family for their kindness and generosity. They gave them some of their toys, clothes, and books as gifts. + +The farm family was surprised and happy. They thanked Tom and Ann for their gifts and invited them to play with them. Tom and Ann agreed and had fun. They learned how to feed the animals, milk the cows, and collect the eggs. They also learned how to make bread, cheese, and onion soup. They enjoyed the simple food and the warm company. + +Tom and Ann learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that being wealthy is not about having many things, but about being content and thankful. They learned that complaining does not make things better, but worse. They learned that happiness comes from sharing and caring, not from hoarding and demanding. They learned that the farm family was richer than they were in many ways. They decided to be more like them and less like themselves. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tent with many balloons. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. There might be a lot of people and noise inside. And don't go too far from me, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the tent. They saw many toys and games and prizes. They wanted to try them all. They saw a big wheel that spun and stopped at different colors. They wanted to spin it and win something. + +"Can we play, please?" Tom asked a man who was standing by the wheel. + +"Sure, kids. It's only one ticket per spin. Do you have tickets?" the man asked. + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not have tickets. They had left their money with Mom. + +"Sorry, we don't have tickets. Can we play anyway?" Lily asked. + +The man shook his head. "No, sorry. You need tickets to play. Maybe you can ask your mom for some." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to play so badly. They looked around and saw a pile of tickets on a table. They thought maybe they could take some and play quickly. No one would notice, they thought. + +They ran to the table and grabbed some tickets. They ran back to the wheel and gave them to the man. The man did not look at the tickets. He just smiled and said, "Okay, kids. Go ahead and spin the wheel. Good luck!" + +Lily and Tom spun the wheel. It went round and round and round. They watched it with excitement. They hoped it would stop at a good color. They hoped they would win a big prize. + +But the wheel did not stop. It kept spinning and spinning and spinning. It went faster and faster and faster. It made a loud noise. It started to shake and smoke. It was broken. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to stop the wheel. They wanted to run away. But they could not move. They were stuck to the wheel. They felt dizzy and sick. + +The man saw what was happening. He tried to stop the wheel. He pushed a button. He pulled a lever. He shouted for help. But nothing worked. The wheel was out of control. + +The wheel spun so fast that it flew off the stand. It took Lily and Tom with it. It crashed into the tent. It tore the fabric. It hit the balloons. They popped. It hit the toys. They broke. It hit the people. They screamed. + +The wheel rolled out of the tent. It rolled down the hill. It rolled into the street. It rolled into a car. It smashed the window. It hit the driver. He lost control. He hit another car. He hit a tree. He hit a fire hydrant. Water sprayed everywhere. + +The wheel stopped. Lily and Tom stopped. They were hurt. They were bleeding. They were crying. They wished they had not taken the tickets. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had been careful. + +Mom saw what had happened. She ran to the wheel. She saw Lily and Tom. She was shocked. She was angry. She was sad. She hugged them and cried. She called for help. She said, "Why did you do this? Why did you take the tickets? Why did you play the wheel? You could have died!" + +Lily and Tom did not answer. They could not speak. They could only pause and think about the event. They realized they had made a big mistake. They realized they had been greedy and naughty. They realized they had been slow to learn. They realized they had ruined their day. They realized they had no prize. +Sara is a smart girl who likes to organize her toys. She has many dolls, cars, blocks and books. She puts them in different boxes and labels them with pictures. She is very proud of her work. + +One day, Sara feels sick. She has a fever and a sore throat. Her mom takes her to the doctor. The doctor says she has a cold and gives her a pill. He says the pill will make her feel better. + +Sara does not like the pill. It is big and bitter. She does not want to swallow it. She says to her mom, "No, no, no! I don't like the pill. It is yucky!" + +Her mom says, "Sara, you have to take the pill. It will help you get well. You are a smart girl. You can do it. How about we make a game of it?" + +Sara likes games. She says, "What game, mom?" + +Her mom says, "Let's organize the pill. We can cut it into small pieces and put them on a plate. Then we can count them and eat them one by one. You can drink some juice after each piece. It will be fun!" + +Sara thinks this is a good idea. She says, "OK, mom. Let's organize the pill. I can do it. I am a smart girl." + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Yes, you are, Sara. You are a very smart girl. And a brave one, too." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and many coins. Lila wanted to make a wish. She asked Ben for a coin. + +"Can I have a coin, Ben? I want to make a wish." + +Ben looked in his pocket. He had only one coin. It was shiny and had a picture of a lion on it. He liked his coin. He did not want to give it to Lila. + +"No, Lila. This is my coin. It is special. It is ancient. My grandpa gave it to me." + +Lila was sad. She did not have a coin. She looked at the fountain. She saw a coin that was close to the edge. She reached for it. She tried to pull it out of the water. + +"Hey, Lila, what are you doing?" Ben asked. + +"I am getting a coin. I want to make a wish." + +"But that is not your coin. That is someone else's coin. You cannot take it. That is not nice." + +Lila did not listen. She pulled harder. The coin was stuck. She pulled and pulled. She slipped and fell into the fountain. She got wet and cold. She cried. + +Ben ran to help her. He felt sorry for her. He gave her his coin. + +"Here, Lila. You can have my coin. You can make a wish. I am sorry I was mean to you." + +Lila smiled. She thanked Ben. She dried herself with a towel. She threw the coin into the fountain. She made a wish. + +"I wish we can always be friends, Ben." + +Ben smiled. He hugged Lila. He made the same wish. They played in the park. They were happy. +Lily loved to play in the garden with her doll. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bees. She thought the garden was beautiful. She felt happy and free. + +One day, she saw a big butterfly. It had many colors on its wings. Lily wanted to see it closer. She followed the butterfly with her doll. She wondered where it would go. + +The butterfly flew to a big bush. It had many small white flowers. Lily went to the bush too. She put her doll on the ground. She reached out her hand to touch the butterfly. + +But then, something tickled her nose. She felt a sneeze coming. She tried to stop it, but she could not. She sneezed very loud. "Achoo!" + +The butterfly flew away. Lily was sad. She wanted to say sorry to the butterfly. She picked up her doll and looked for the butterfly. She hoped it would come back. She still thought it was beautiful. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It barks loud. + +"Hello, children. Do you want to pet my dog?" the man asks. He smiles. + +Lily is scared. She does not like dogs. She hides behind Ben. Ben is brave. He likes dogs. He steps forward. + +"What is your dog's name?" Ben asks. + +"His name is Rex. He is a good dog. He is reliable. He does what I say. Do you know what reliable means?" the man says. + +Ben nods. He knows what reliable means. It means you can trust someone. He trusts his mom and dad. They are reliable. + +"Can I touch Rex?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can. He likes children. He is friendly. Just be gentle and calm. He will not bite you." the man says. + +Ben reaches out his hand. He touches Rex's head. Rex licks Ben's hand. Ben laughs. He likes Rex. He is soft and warm. + +Lily sees Ben and Rex. She sees that Rex is nice. She is not scared anymore. She comes out from behind Ben. She also touches Rex. Rex wags his tail. He likes Lily too. + +The man is happy. He likes children too. He is kind. He is reliable. + +"Thank you for letting us pet your dog. He is very reliable. You are very reliable too." Ben says. + +"You are welcome, children. You are very polite. You are reliable too. I hope to see you again in the park." the man says. + +Lily and Ben wave goodbye to the man and Rex. They go back to their moms. They tell them about the man and the dog. They are proud. They are reliable. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to pick some apples to eat. They were yummy and sweet. + +But the apples were too high for them to reach. They tried to jump and stretch, but they could not touch them. They felt sad and hungry. + +Then they saw a big stick on the ground. They had an idea. They lifted the stick and threw it at the tree. The stick hit some apples and made them fall. They ran to catch them. + +They caught two apples, one for each of them. They were happy and excited. They bit into the apples and tasted the juice. They smiled and said, "Yummy!" + +They released the stick and thanked the tree. They shared their apples with their mom and dad. They had a good snack and a good day. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play and learn new things. They were gifted. They could read and write and count very well. They also liked to draw and sing and dance. + +One day, their mom said, "We have a surprise for you. Your aunt and uncle are coming to visit. They will arrive soon. They have a big present for you." + +Sara and Ben were very happy. They loved their aunt and uncle. They wondered what the present was. They ran to the window and looked outside. They saw a big truck with a big box on it. + +The truck stopped in front of their house. Their aunt and uncle got out. They waved and smiled. Sara and Ben ran to the door and hugged them. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben. We missed you so much. We have a special gift for you. Do you want to see it?" their aunt said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Sara and Ben said. + +Their uncle opened the big box. Inside, there was a big playhouse. It had a door and windows and a roof. It was painted with bright colors. It had a sign that said, "Sara and Ben's Playhouse". + +Sara and Ben gasped. They were so excited. They thanked their aunt and uncle. They ran to the playhouse and went inside. It had a table and chairs and a sofa and a bed. It had books and toys and games. It had a kitchen and a bathroom and a closet. It had everything they liked. + +Their aunt and uncle smiled. They had one more thing for them. They brought a basket of cherries. They were red and juicy and sweet. They gave them to Sara and Ben. + +"Here, these are for you. We picked them from our garden.

The theater is a big place where people act and sing on a stage. + +Sara and Tom are very excited. They want to see the show. But they have to wait in a long line. Sara and Tom are bored. They start to roll on the floor. They roll and roll and roll. They make noise and bump into other people. + +Their moms are not happy. They tell Sara and Tom to stop rolling. They say, "Rolling on the floor is not polite. It is dirty and rude. You have to be quiet and still in the theater. You have to respect the actors and the audience." + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, moms. We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to be bad." Their moms hug them and say, "We know, sweeties. But you have to learn to behave in different places. The theater is not a playground. It is a place to enjoy and appreciate art. You can have fun in other ways. You can talk, sing, or draw before the show. But when the show starts, you have to listen and watch." + +Sara and Tom nod. They say, "Okay, moms. We understand. We will be good. We will not roll on the floor anymore." Their moms smile and say, "That's good, sweeties. We are proud of you. You are healthy and smart kids. You can learn and grow from new experiences. Now, let's go and see the show. We hope you like it." + +Sara and Tom hold their moms' hands. They walk to their seats. They sit down and wait for the show. They are curious and happy. They are ready to enjoy the theater. They have learned a lesson. They have learned to be polite and respectful. They have learned to love art. +Lily liked to roll down the hill in the park. She felt happy when the wind blew in her hair and the sun warmed her face. She rolled fast and laughed loud. She did not see the bush at the bottom of the hill. + +One day, Lily saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and far away. She wanted to see it better. She thought maybe she could roll closer to it. She ran to the top of the hill and lay down on the grass. She closed her eyes and started to roll. + +She rolled and rolled and rolled. She did not hear her mom call her name. She did not feel the bump when she hit the bush. She did not notice the balloon fly away. She only felt the prickles on her skin and the tears in her eyes. She opened her mouth and cried loud. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She took out the prickles and kissed her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You can't roll to the balloon. It's too distant. But you can roll with me. I love you." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you too, mom. Can we roll together?"

They did not see the bush at the bottom of the hill. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the park with their toys. But today, their mom says they have to clean the bench before they can play. The bench is dirty and has bird poop on it. + +"Why do we have to clean the bench, mom?" Lily asks. She does not want to clean. She wants to play with her doll. + +"Because it is good to be healthy and nice," mom says. "If we clean the bench, we can sit on it and have a snack. And other people can use it too." + +Max nods. He likes snacks and he likes to be nice. He takes a cloth and some water from mom and starts to wipe the bench. But Lily does not help. She sits on the ground and plays with her doll. + +"Come on, Lily, help me clean the bench," Max says. He is almost done with one side of the bench. "It is not hard. It is fun." + +"No, I don't want to," Lily says. She makes her doll talk. "I don't like cleaning. I like playing. Cleaning is boring." + +Max gets angry. He throws his cloth at Lily and hits her doll. "You are not nice, Lily. You are lazy. You don't care about mom or me or the bench." + +Lily gets angry too. She throws her doll at Max and hits his head. "You are not fun, Max. You are bossy. You don't care about me or my doll or playing." + +Mom hears them fighting and comes over. She is not happy. She picks up the cloth and the doll and puts them in her bag. "That's enough, Lily and Max. You are not being healthy or nice. You are being rude and mean. You have to say sorry to each other and finish cleaning the bench. Or we will go home and you will have no snack and no toys." + +Lily and Max look at each other. They feel bad. They don't want to go home. They want to have a snack and play. They say sorry to each other and hug. Then they help mom clean the bench. When they are done, mom smiles and gives them a snack and their toys. They sit on the bench and eat and play. They are happy. They are healthy and nice. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hill with many trees and flowers. They wanted to explore it. + +"Let's go up the hill and see what we can find," said Lily. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be slippery or thorny," said Ben. + +They held hands and walked up the hill. They saw many bugs, birds and animals. They heard a loud noise behind a bush. They peeked and saw an enormous boot. + +"Wow, look at that boot! It's bigger than us!" said Lily. + +"Who do you think it belongs to?" said Ben. + +They heard another noise. It was a voice. A very big voice. + +"Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of two little ones," the voice said. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They knew it was a giant. They had heard stories about giants from their mom. They said giants were mean and hungry. They wanted to run away. + +"Let's go back to the park. Maybe the giant won't see us," said Lily. + +"OK, but be quiet. Don't make any noise," said Ben. + +They tiptoed away from the boot. They hoped the giant would not notice them. They did not see the other boot. The one that was in front of them. The one that was about to step on them. +Ben and Mia were friends who lived in a big valley. The valley had many trees and flowers and animals. Ben and Mia liked to play outside and explore the valley. Sometimes they climbed the hills and looked at the sky and the clouds. + +One day, Ben and Mia found a big stick in the woods. They decided to use it as a flag and raise it on top of a hill. They took turns to carry the stick and walked up the hill. It was hard work and they got tired and thirsty. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a beautiful view of the valley. They also felt a cold wind blowing on their faces. They shivered and hugged each other. + +"Look, Ben, our valley is so pretty!" Mia said. + +"Yes, Mia, it is. And we are the kings and queens of the valley!" Ben said. + +They smiled and raised the stick as high as they could. They waved it and shouted, "Hooray for the valley! Hooray for us!" + +They felt happy and proud. They stayed on the hill for a while and then went back to their homes. They told their parents about their adventure and showed them their flag. Their parents hugged them and said they were brave and clever. Ben and Mia agreed and went to bed, dreaming of their valley. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But today was a special day. It was their birthday. They were three years old. + +Mum made a big cake for them. It had pink and blue icing and candles. She put it on the table and said, "Don't touch the cake until the guests come. We need to tidy the house first." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They helped Mum to tidy the house. They put away their toys, books and clothes. They dusted the shelves, swept the floor and wiped the windows. They worked hard and fast. + +Soon, the house was tidy and the guests arrived. They were Lily and Ben's friends and family. They brought presents and cards. They sang happy birthday and clapped. + +Mum said, "Now you can blow the candles and make a wish. But be careful, the cake is hot." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They held hands and turned to the cake. They closed their eyes and made a wish. Then they blew the candles together. The flames went out and the smoke rose. + +"Yay!" everyone cheered. "Well done, Lily and Ben! You are good helpers and good twins. Now let's cut the cake and share it." + +Lily and Ben hugged Mum and said, "Thank you, Mum. We love you and we love cake." They cut the cake and gave everyone a slice. They ate the cake and enjoyed their birthday. It was a happy day. +Lucy was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books and learn new things. She also liked to explore her big house and find hidden places. One day, she saw a door at the end of the hall that she had never noticed before. She wondered what was behind it. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that door?" + +Her mom said, "That is the door to the attic. It is where we keep old things that we do not use anymore. You should not go there, it is dusty and dark and maybe dangerous." + +Lucy was curious. She wanted to see the old things and maybe find something interesting. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen and then she sneaked to the door. She turned the knob and opened it. She saw a narrow staircase that led to the attic. She decided to go up and have a look. + +She climbed the stairs and entered the attic. It was dusty and dark, just like her mom said. But she also saw many boxes and bags and furniture and toys. She felt like she had found a treasure. She opened one of the boxes and saw a beautiful doll with a blue dress and yellow hair. She picked it up and hugged it. She said, "Hello, doll. What is your name?" + +The doll did not answer. But Lucy heard a voice behind her. It said, "Her name is Annabelle. And she is mine." + +Lucy turned around and saw a boy standing in the corner. He was wearing old clothes and had a dirty face and a mean look. He said, "You should not be here. This is my attic. And you took my doll. Give it back or I will hurt you." + +Lucy was scared. She did not know who the boy was or why he was in the attic. She said, "I'm sorry, I did not know. I was just looking. Please do not hurt me. Here, take your doll." + +She tried to give the doll back to the boy, but he did not take it. He said, "No, you keep it. She likes you better. She told me so. She does not like me anymore. She says I am bad. She says you are good. She says you are her new friend." + +Lucy was confused. She did not understand how the doll could talk or why the boy was so angry. She said, "What do you mean? How can she talk? Who are you?" + +The boy said, "I am Tommy. I used to live in this house. A long time ago. Before I died. And before she died. She was my sister. And she was my only friend. Until she got sick and went away. And then I got lonely and sad. And then I found this doll. And she talked to me. And she became my new friend. And she made me happy. Until you came. And you took her away. And you made her happy. And you made me unhappy. And now I want you to go away. And never come back. Or I will make you go away. Forever." + +Lucy was terrified. She realized that the boy was a ghost. And that the doll was haunted. And that she was in danger. She screamed and ran to the door. She opened it and ran down the stairs. She ran to her mom and told her everything. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lucy. You are safe now. I believe you. I know that story. It happened a long time ago. Before we moved here. There was a family that lived here. And they had a son and a daughter. And they both died. And they never left. And they stayed in the attic. And they played with the doll. And they were unhappy. And sometimes they scared people. Like you." + +Lucy said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. I should not have gone to the attic. It was dusty and dark and dangerous. And scary. And sad." + +Her mom said, "It's okay, Lucy. You are a very intelligent girl. And you are brave. And you are good. And you are my friend. And I love you. And I will always protect you. And we will never go to the attic again. And we will be happy. And we will find other things to explore. And other friends to play with. And other stories to tell." +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then the wind started to blow. It was very cold. Anna and Ben felt their fingers and toes get numb. They shivered. + +"Let's go home," Anna said. "I'm cold." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But what about our snowman? He will be lonely." + +They looked at their snowman. He looked sad and distant. They felt sorry for him. + +They had an idea. They ran to their house and got two socks. They put them on their snowman's feet. They hoped he would be warmer. + +"Bye, snowman," Anna said. "We'll come back tomorrow." + +"Bye, snowman," Ben said. "We love you." + +They waved at their snowman and went inside. They drank hot chocolate and put on warm clothes. They felt cozy and happy. They smiled at each other. They were good friends. +Lila liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the rug, on the swing. She spun so fast that she felt dizzy and happy. She wanted to spin everywhere. + +One day, she went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She saw many animals that lived in the jungle. She saw monkeys, tigers, snakes, and birds. She wanted to spin with them. She asked her mom and dad if she could go inside the jungle. + +Her mom and dad said no. They said the jungle was bad for her. They said the animals were not friendly. They said she could get hurt or lost. They said she had to stay with them. + +But Lila did not listen. She saw a big gate that said "Do not enter". She thought it was a fun game. She waited until her mom and dad were looking at the map. She ran to the gate and opened it. She went inside the jungle. + +She saw many trees and plants. She saw many colors and sounds. She felt excited and curious. She wanted to spin. She found a big vine that hung from a branch. She grabbed it and swung it. She spun in the air like a bird. + +But she did not see the snake that was on the vine. The snake was bad. It did not like Lila. It did not like her spinning. It bit her on the arm. Lila felt a sharp pain. She screamed and let go of the vine. She fell to the ground. + +Her mom and dad heard her scream. They ran to the gate and saw her. They were scared and angry. They called for help. They took her out of the jungle. They took her to the doctor. + +Lila learned a lesson. She learned that spinning was not always fun. She learned that the jungle was bad for her. She learned that she had to listen to her mom and dad. She did not spin for a long time. +Ben was a big lion who liked to roar. He roared when he was happy, when he was angry, and when he was bored. He roared so loud that all the other animals ran away from him. He thought he was the king of the jungle. + +One day, Ben saw a man walking in the jungle. The man had a cane in his hand. Ben did not know what a cane was, but he wanted to play with it. He ran towards the man and roared. The man was scared and tried to run away, but he was slow and his cane got stuck in a hole. + +Ben caught up with the man and grabbed his cane with his teeth. He pulled and pulled, but the cane was tight in the hole. He roared again, but the cane did not move. He pulled harder, but the cane broke in half. Ben was sad and angry. He had lost his new toy. + +The man was happy and relieved. He had escaped from the lion. He picked up the other half of his cane and limped away. He did not want to see Ben again. + +Ben was alone in the jungle. He had no friends, no toys, and no fun. He roared one last time, but no one heard him. He wished he had been nicer to the other animals. He wished he had not scared the man. He wished he had a cane to play with. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to watch movies together. Today, they watch a movie about a big green monster. The monster is scary and funny. He makes loud noises and breaks things. + +Tom and Mia laugh and eat popcorn. The popcorn is salty and crunchy. They like popcorn. But then, Mia finds a sour candy in her popcorn. She does not like sour candy. She makes a face and spits it out. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Mia says. + +Tom looks at the candy. It is yellow and round. He thinks it is a lemon. He likes lemons. He picks up the candy and puts it in his mouth. + +"Tom, no! That is sour!" Mia says. + +But Tom does not listen. He bites the candy. He feels a sharp and sour taste in his mouth. He does not like it. He makes a face and spits it out too. + +"Yuck! That is sour!" Tom says. + +Mia and Tom look at each other. They have sour faces. They giggle. They throw the candy away and eat more popcorn. They watch the movie and have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play with animals. One day, they went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They were very happy and excited. + +"Look, Tom, there is a stable!" Anna said, pointing to a big wooden house. "Can we go inside and see the horses?" + +"Sure, let's go!" Tom said, holding Anna's hand. They ran to the stable and opened the door. They saw four brown horses, eating hay and making noises. + +"Hello, horses!" Tom and Anna said, smiling. They wanted to pet the horses, but they were a little scared. The horses were very big and strong. + +"Be careful, kids," their mom said, following them. "Don't go too close to the horses. They might kick or bite you." + +"Don't worry, mom, we will be thoughtful," Anna said. She found a carrot in her pocket and held it out to the nearest horse. The horse sniffed the carrot and took it gently from her hand. It chewed the carrot and nuzzled Anna's hair. + +"Wow, Anna, you are so brave and kind!" Tom said, admiring his sister. He also found a carrot in his pocket and gave it to another horse. The horse ate the carrot and licked Tom's cheek. + +"Thank you, Tom, you are so generous and friendly!" Anna said, hugging her brother. They both laughed and cuddled the horses. + +Their mom and dad watched them with love and pride. They were glad that Tom and Anna were thoughtful and respectful to the animals. They took pictures of them and joined them in the stable. They all had a wonderful time at the farm. +Tommy is a cat who likes to go out and play. He has a big paw and a long tail. He thinks he is very special and better than other cats. He does not like to share his toys or his food. He always says, "This is mine, go away!" + +One day, he meets a new cat in the park. The new cat is small and has a white fur. He has a tiny paw and a short tail. He looks very ordinary and plain. Tommy thinks he is boring and weak. He says, "You are not fun, go away!" + +The new cat is sad and lonely. He says, "I just want to be your friend. I have no toys or food. Can I play with you and share some of yours?" Tommy says, "No, you cannot. You have nothing to offer me. You are too different from me. Go away!" + +The new cat goes away and finds a big tree. He climbs up the tree and sees a bird. He is hungry and wants to catch the bird. He jumps from the tree and grabs the bird with his tiny paw. He is very happy and proud. He says, "I may be small and ordinary, but I am smart and brave. I can do anything I want!" + +Tommy sees the new cat and the bird. He is surprised and jealous. He says, "How did you do that? I want that bird too!" He runs to the new cat and tries to take the bird from him. He uses his big paw and his long tail. He is very rude and mean. + +The new cat does not want to fight. He says, "You can have the bird. I do not need it. I have something better. I have a friend." He points to a dog who comes to the park. The dog is big and has a brown fur. He has a strong paw and a wagging tail. He looks very friendly and kind. He says, "Hello, I am Max. I saw you catch the bird. You are amazing and clever. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The new cat says, "Yes, I do. You are nice and generous. Thank you for being my friend." He goes to the dog and they play together. They share their toys and their food. They have a lot of fun. + +Tommy is left alone with the bird. He feels sad and sorry. He says, "I was wrong. I was selfish and arrogant. I judged the new cat by his looks. I missed a chance to be his friend. I learned a lesson. It is not good to be mean and greedy. It is better to be kind and humble. It is not how you look that matters. It is how you act and feel. I hope the new cat and the dog will forgive me and let me join them." + +He goes to the new cat and the dog and says, "I am sorry. I was bad to you. Can I be your friend too?" The new cat and the dog look at him and smile. They say, "Of course you can. We are happy to have you. Come and play with us. We can all be friends." + +Tommy is glad and grateful. He says, "Thank you. You are wonderful and sweet. I am lucky to have you. I will share my toys and my food with you. I will not be mean and greedy anymore. I will be kind and humble. I will not judge others by their looks. I will respect and appreciate their differences. I will be a good friend." + +They all play together and have a lot of fun. They are happy and peaceful. They are the best of friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They could make the box into anything they wanted. Sometimes it was a car, sometimes it was a castle, sometimes it was a spaceship. + +One day, their mom gave them some prunes for a snack. Prunes were small and wrinkly and sweet. Ben liked prunes, but Lily did not. She was stubborn and did not want to try them. She said they looked like old grapes. + +"Come on, Lily, they are yummy," Ben said. "Just take a bite and see." + +"No, thank you," Lily said. "I don't like them. You can have mine." + +Ben shrugged and ate his prunes. He had an idea. He took one of Lily's prunes and hid it in the box. He said to Lily, "Let's play spaceship. I'll be the pilot and you'll be the co-pilot. We have to go to the moon." + +Lily agreed and climbed into the box with Ben. They pretended to push buttons and make noises. Ben said, "We are almost there. Hold on tight." + +He reached for the prune and threw it at Lily. It hit her on the nose. She was surprised and felt something sticky. She looked at the prune and made a face. + +"Ben, what is this?" she asked. + +"It's a prune, silly," Ben said. "It's a space prune. They are very rare and delicious. You should try it." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was smiling. He was not trying to be mean. He was trying to make her laugh. She laughed and threw the prune back at him. It hit him on the ear. He laughed too. + +They started to have a prune fight. They threw prunes at each other and dodged and giggled. They had so much fun that they forgot they did not like prunes. They ate some of them and found out they were not so bad after all. + +Their mom heard them laughing and came to see what they were doing. She saw the box and the prunes and smiled. She was happy that they were having fun and trying new things. She said, "You two are very silly. But I love you. Do you want some more prunes?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They said, "Yes, please. We like prunes. They are space prunes." +Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys and dresses. She liked to play with her dolls and pretend they were her friends. One day, she decided to have a tea party with her dolls and invited her brother Tom to join her. + +"Tom, come and sit here," she said, pointing to a small chair. "I have tea and cake for you and my dolls." + +Tom was not very interested in dolls, but he loved cake. He sat down and took a plate and a spoon. He looked at the tea cups and saw that they were empty. + +"Lily, where is the tea?" he asked. + +Lily smiled and picked up a teapot. She poured some water from a jug into the teapot and then into the cups. + +"This is the tea," she said. "It is very yummy and good for you." + +Tom frowned and tasted the water. It was cold and plain. He did not like it. + +"Lily, this is not tea," he said. "This is water. Tea is hot and brown and sweet." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, Tom, this is tea. You have to pretend. Pretending is fun. You can be anything you want." + +Tom did not want to pretend. He wanted real tea and real cake. He put down his spoon and stood up. + +"Lily, I don't want to play with you anymore," he said. "Your tea party is boring. I'm going to play with my cars." + +He left the room and slammed the door. Lily felt sad and angry. She did not understand why Tom did not like her tea party. She hugged her dolls and said, "Don't worry, my friends. We can still have fun. We are wealthy and happy. We don't need Tom." +Tom liked to wander on the beach. He liked to see the water, the sand and the shells. He liked to look for crabs. Crabs were small and hard and had many legs. Sometimes they hid under rocks or in holes. Sometimes they ran fast or pinched with their claws. + +One day, Tom saw a big crab. It was bigger than his hand. It was not ordinary. It was red and shiny and had a star on its back. Tom wanted to touch it. He went closer and closer. The crab saw Tom and made a loud noise. It opened its claws and waved them at Tom. + +Tom was scared. He ran away from the crab. He ran to his mom. His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. That was a special crab. It was a star crab. It was not mean. It was just scared of you. You should not touch crabs. They can hurt you. You can look at them, but not touch them." + +Tom nodded. He learned something new. He was still curious about the star crab, but he did not want to touch it. He was happy to wander on the beach and look for other crabs. He liked ordinary crabs. They were fun to watch. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in Anna's room. Anna has a tall bookcase with many books and toys. Tom likes to joke with Anna and make her laugh. + +One day, Tom has a new joke. He hides behind the bookcase and waits for Anna to come in. He hears Anna open the door and say, "Tom, where are you? I want to play with you." Tom smiles and thinks, "This will be funny." + +He jumps out from behind the bookcase and shouts, "Boo!" Anna is surprised and screams. Then she sees Tom and laughs. "You scared me, Tom! That was a good joke." Tom laughs too and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted to make you laugh. Do you want to see my new toy?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. What is it?" Tom shows her his toy car. It is red and shiny. Anna likes it and says, "Wow, that is a nice car. Can I play with it too?" Tom says, "Of course, Anna. You are my friend. We can share it." + +They play with the toy car on the floor. They make vroom-vroom noises and pretend to drive around. They have fun and forget about the bookcase. They are happy. +Tom and Sue are young. They like to play with toys and eat jam. One day, they find a big jar of jam in the kitchen. They want to eat some jam, but they do not have a spoon. + +"Let us use our fingers," Tom says. He opens the jar and dips his finger in the jam. He licks his finger and smiles. "Yum, this jam is good." + +Sue does the same. She dips her finger in the jam and licks it. She also smiles. "Yes, this jam is very good." + +They eat more and more jam with their fingers. They do not see the dog behind them. The dog is hungry. He smells the jam and wants some too. He sneaks up to Tom and Sue and bites their fingers. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom and Sue cry. They drop the jar and run away. The dog licks the jam from the jar and from their fingers. He wags his tail and barks. "Woof, woof, woof!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the dog. She is not happy. She scolds Tom and Sue and the dog. She tells them to clean up and to never eat jam with their fingers again. She gives them a band-aid and a hug. She also gives them a spoon and a plate. She says, "Next time, ask me for jam and use a spoon. Jam is good, but not for fingers or dogs." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a jar under a big tree. The jar was tall and shiny, and had a lid with a star on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "Maybe there is something inside." + +"Let's open it and see," Lily said. They twisted the lid, but it was very tight. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move. + +"Maybe it is magic," Tom said. "Maybe we have to say a magic word." + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like...believe!" Tom said. He closed his eyes and said, "Believe, believe, believe!" + +Suddenly, the lid popped open, and a cloud of smoke came out. The twins coughed and blinked, and then they saw a strange creature in the jar. It had a long nose, a curly tail, and wings. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" the creature said. "I am a genie, and I grant you three wishes. Thank you for freeing me from the jar." + +Tom and Lily gasped. They could not believe their eyes. They had found a real genie! + +"What do you wish for?" the genie asked. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other, and then they smiled. They had so many ideas. They were going to have a lot of fun. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and smell them. She liked the red ones, the yellow ones, and the purple ones. She liked them all. + +One day, she saw a new flower in the garden. It was white and pink and had a lot of petals. It looked like a star. Lily ran to the flower and said, "Hello, flower. You are very pretty. What is your name?" + +The flower did not say anything. Lily waited for a while, but the flower was still quiet. Lily felt sad. She wanted to be friends with the flower. + +Then, she heard a voice behind her. It was a boy. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I live next door. I planted this flower for my mom. It's a peony. Do you like it?" + +Lily turned around and saw Ben. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He smiled at her. Lily smiled back. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your flower. It's very pretty. Can I smell it?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Sure, you can smell it. It smells sweet. Do you want to help me water it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I want to help you. That sounds fun." + +Ben and Lily went to get a watering can. They watered the peony and the other flowers in the garden. They talked and laughed. They became friends. + +Lily was glad. She met a new friend and a new flower. She liked them both. She hoped they would play again soon. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today is very hot. The sun is bright and makes them sweat. + +"I hate the sun!" Anna says. "It hurts my eyes and skin. I want to go inside." + +"No, I like the sun!" Ben says. "It makes the flowers grow and the birds sing. It is pretty and warm. I want to stay outside." + +They start to argue. They do not want to play together anymore. They are sad and angry. + +Then they see a big tree. It has many leaves and a cool shade. They run to the tree and sit under it. + +"Look, Anna, the sun is not so bad," Ben says. "It makes the tree green and the shadows fun. We can play under the tree and be happy." + +"You are right, Ben, the sun is not so bad," Anna says. "It makes the sky blue and the clouds white. We can look at the sun and be happy." + +They smile and hug. They are friends again. They play under the tree and enjoy the sun. They do not hate the sun anymore. They love the sun. +Sara was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mom put a thermometer in her mouth to see how hot she was. Sara did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny. + +"Beep, beep!" The thermometer made a sound. Mom took it out and looked at it. She frowned. "You have a fever, Sara. You need to rest and drink water. No school today." + +Sara was sad. She liked school. She liked to play with her friends and write with crayons. She did not want to stay in bed. She wanted to have fun. + +"Can I write a letter to my teacher?" Sara asked Mom. "I want to tell her I am sick and I miss her." + +Mom smiled. "That's very nice of you, Sara. Yes, you can write a letter. But only if you promise to rest after that." + +Sara nodded. She got some paper and crayons. She wrote her name and drew a picture of herself and her teacher. She wrote "I am sick" and "I miss you" with big letters. She was proud of her letter. She showed it to Mom. + +Mom hugged her. "That's a beautiful letter, Sara. Your teacher will love it. You are very fit at writing. Now, let's put it in an envelope and mail it later. But first, you need to rest. Come on, let's go back to bed." + +Sara agreed. She was tired and her head still hurt. She gave Mom her letter and cuddled with her teddy bear. She hoped she would feel better soon and go back to school. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a picture of a pizza on it. Tom and Mia love pizza. + +"Look, Mia, pizza!" Tom says. + +"Yum, yum, pizza!" Mia says. + +They run to the truck. A man is inside the truck. He is making pizza. He has a big oven. The oven makes steam. The steam is hot. + +"Hello, kids, do you want some pizza?" the man says. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia say. + +The man gives them each a slice of pizza. Tom and Mia are happy. They receive pizza. + +They bite the pizza. The pizza is spicy. It has pepper on it. Tom and Mia do not like pepper. It makes their mouths burn. + +"Ow, ow, spicy!" Tom says. + +"Ow, ow, spicy!" Mia says. + +They spit out the pizza. They drink some water. They are not happy. They do not receive good pizza. + +"Sorry, kids, I only have spicy pizza. Do you want something else?" the man says. + +"No, thank you!" Tom and Mia say. + +They run away from the truck. They do not like the truck. They do not like the man. They do not like the pizza. + +They go to the playground. They play on the swings. They forget about the pizza. They are happy again. They receive fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to make mud pies and pretend they were chefs. They used a big spoon to stir the mud and some leaves and sticks. They put their pies on a tray and took them to the tree. + +The tree was their friend. He was very old and tall and had many branches. He liked to listen to their stories and give them shade. Lily and Tom put their pies on a branch and said, "This is for you, tree. We made them with love." + +The tree was happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very kind and sweet. But I cannot eat your pies. They are too dirty for me. I only eat clean things, like water and sun and air." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to make the tree happy. They thought for a moment. Then they had an idea. They ran to the hose and filled a bucket with water. They added some soap and bubbles. They took the bucket and the spoon to the tree. + +They said, "We have a new gift for you, tree. We made you a bath. We will use the spoon to stir the water and make it nice and clean. Then we will wash your leaves and your bark and make you shiny and fresh." + +The tree was surprised. He said, "A bath? For me? How wonderful. You are very clever and thoughtful. I would love a bath. Please, go ahead and stir the water and wash me." + +Lily and Tom were happy. They used the spoon to stir the water and make it bubbly. They splashed the water on the tree and rubbed his leaves and his bark. They laughed and sang and had fun. The tree felt the water and the soap and the bubbles. He felt clean and cool and refreshed. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are the best friends a tree could have. You made me very happy." +One day, a clever squirrel named Lily was looking for acorns in the forest. She saw a big oak tree with many acorns on its branches. She climbed up the tree and picked some acorns for her winter stash. + +But as she was about to jump to another branch, she heard a loud shout. "Hey, those are my acorns!" It was a grumpy bear named Bruno, who was sleeping under the tree. He woke up and saw Lily with his acorns. He was very angry and wanted to catch her. + +Lily was scared, but she was also clever. She quickly threw some acorns at Bruno's nose, making him sneeze. Then she said, "Sorry, Mr. Bear, I didn't know these were your acorns. Here, you can have them back." She dropped the rest of the acorns on Bruno's head, making him dizzy. + +Then she jumped to another tree and ran away as fast as she could. Bruno was too confused and tired to chase her. He just grumbled and went back to sleep. + +Lily was safe and happy. She found another oak tree with more acorns. She filled her cheeks with them and took them to her cozy nest. She was glad that she was clever and brave. She ate some acorns and fell asleep, dreaming of spring. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were making tea and cake for their toys. One day, they found a big, ugly mug in the cupboard. It was brown and had a crack and a chip. Lily said, "This mug is bad. We should throw it away." Ben said, "No, this mug is good. It has a story. Mommy said it was her grandma's mug. She loved it very much." + +Lily and Ben argued about the mug. They pulled and pushed it until it slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. They heard a loud ring from the doorbell. It was Mommy coming home from work. They were scared. They hid the pieces under the rug and ran to their room. + +Mommy came in and saw the rug. She lifted it and saw the broken mug. She was sad. She knew it was her grandma's mug. She loved it very much. She went to Lily and Ben's room and asked them what happened. Lily and Ben felt sorry. They told Mommy the truth. They said they were sorry. Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm glad you told me the truth. But you should not play with things that are not yours. And you should not judge things by how they look. This mug was ugly, but it was precious. It had a story. It reminded me of my grandma. She loved me very much." + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They said they would not play with things that are not theirs. And they would not judge things by how they look. They asked Mommy to tell them the story of the mug and her grandma. Mommy smiled and said, "Of course. Come, let's sit on the couch and I'll tell you." They went to the couch and Mommy told them the story of the mug and her grandma. They listened and felt happy. They loved Mommy very much. +Anna liked to play with her rabbit, Floppy. She gave him carrots and hugs every day. She also liked to fix things with her tools. She had a hammer, a screwdriver and some nails. + +One day, she saw that Floppy's cage was broken. The door was loose and the wire was bent. She thought she could fix it with her tools. She took her hammer and nails and went to the cage. + +"Hello, Floppy," she said. "Don't be scared. I'm going to fix your cage. You'll be safe and happy." + +Floppy looked at her with his big eyes. He did not like the hammer. It was loud and scary. He wanted to run away, but he could not. He was trapped in the cage. + +Anna started to hammer the nails into the door. She did not notice that she was hitting the wire too. She made a big hole in the cage. Floppy saw the hole and had an idea. He was a clever rabbit. He pushed the door with his nose and ran out of the cage. He ran to the hole and jumped out. + +"Bye, Anna," he said. "Thank you for fixing my cage. Now I can be free and happy." + +Anna heard Floppy's voice and looked up. She saw him running away. She dropped her hammer and ran after him. She cried and shouted. + +"Floppy, come back! Don't leave me! I love you!" + +But Floppy did not come back. He ran into the woods and disappeared. Anna was sad and lonely. She had lost her rabbit. She had fixed his cage, but she had broken his heart. +Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They were on the same team and they wore blue shirts. The other team wore red shirts and they were very good. Lily and Ben tried to kick the ball and score, but the red team always got the ball first. + +"Quit, quit, quit!" Lily shouted. She was angry and sad. She did not like to lose. She threw her blue shirt on the ground and sat on the bench. + +Ben ran to Lily and sat next to her. He was not angry or sad. He liked to play soccer, even if he did not win. He smiled at Lily and said, "Don't quit, Lily. We can still play. Playing is fun. You are a good player and a good friend." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw his smile. She felt a little better. She picked up her blue shirt and put it on again. She said, "Sorry, Ben. I was being silly. You are right. Playing is fun. You are a good player and a good friend, too. And you are adorable." + +Ben and Lily hugged and then ran back to the field. They played soccer with the red team and had a lot of fun. They did not care who won or lost. They were happy to play together. +Anna likes to go to the park with her mom. She likes to see the flowers, the birds, and the squirrels. She likes to feed the squirrels with nuts that her mom brings. + +One day, Anna sees a very pretty squirrel. It has a big fluffy tail and shiny eyes. It is brown and white and has a black stripe on its back. Anna wants to pet the pretty squirrel. She holds a nut in her hand and walks slowly to the squirrel. + +The squirrel sees Anna and the nut. It is hungry and curious. It comes closer to Anna and sniffs the nut. Anna smiles and holds out her hand. The squirrel takes the nut and nibbles it. Anna feels happy and leans forward to touch the squirrel's fur. + +But the squirrel is shy and scared. It does not like to be touched by people. It thinks Anna wants to grab it. It drops the nut and runs away. Anna feels sad and cries. She does not understand why the squirrel ran away. + +Her mom hears Anna cry and comes to her. She hugs Anna and wipes her tears. She explains to Anna that squirrels are wild animals and they like to be free. They do not like to be petted or held by people. She tells Anna that the best way to show love to the squirrels is to watch them and feed them from a distance. + +Anna listens to her mom and nods. She understands that the squirrels have feelings too. She says sorry to the pretty squirrel and waves goodbye. She hopes to see it again another day. She and her mom walk back to the car and go home. Anna still likes the squirrels, but she knows how to respect them. +Tom and Anna like to play with crayons. They have a big case with many colors. They can draw anything they want on paper. + +One day, they want to draw a big purple dragon. They look for the purple crayon in the case, but they cannot find it. They only see red, blue, green, yellow, and other colors. + +"Where is the purple crayon?" Tom asks Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe we used it all," Anna says. + +They are sad. They want to draw the purple dragon, but they have no purple crayon. + +Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their friend Lily. She has a big smile on her face. + +"Hi, Tom and Anna. I have a surprise for you," Lily says. + +She opens her backpack and takes out a new box of crayons. She gives it to Tom and Anna. + +"Look, I have a new supply of crayons. And look, there is a purple one!" Lily says. + +Tom and Anna are very happy. They thank Lily for the gift. They take the purple crayon and start to draw the purple dragon. + +They share the other crayons with Lily. They draw many things together. They have fun with their new supply of crayons. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to go on adventures. One day, they found a map in their dad's old chest. The map showed a path to a big hill with a treasure. Ben and Mia wanted to see the treasure, so they took the map and sneaked out of the house. + +They followed the map and walked for a long time. They crossed a bridge, a field, and a forest. They saw many animals and plants, but they did not stop to look. They only wanted the treasure. They did not tell anyone where they were going. They did not think of the dangers or the time. + +When they reached the big hill, they saw a cave. The map said the treasure was inside. Ben and Mia went into the cave, but it was dark and scary. They heard strange noises and saw shadows. They felt cold and lost. They wished they had a flashlight or a phone. They wished they had stayed home. + +They tried to find the way out, but they could not. They were trapped. They started to cry and hug each other. They hoped someone would find them. They hoped they would be safe. + +Meanwhile, their mom and dad were worried. They saw the map on the floor and realized what Ben and Mia had done. They called the police and the neighbors. They searched for the twins everywhere. They hoped they would find them. They hoped they would be safe. + +After a long time, they heard a faint sound from the hill. It was Ben and Mia's voice. They ran to the cave and saw a small hole. They called their names and heard them answer. They were so happy and relieved. They used a rope and a flashlight to pull them out. They hugged and kissed them. They were safe. + +Ben and Mia were sorry for what they had done. They learned their lesson. They realized that the treasure was not worth the risk. They realized that their family was the real treasure. They promised to never go on adventures without telling anyone. They hoped their mom and dad would forgive them. They hoped they would be safe. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Sara has a big doll with a pink dress. Ben has a small car with four wheels. + +One day, Sara and Ben are bored. They want to do something new. They see a big book on the shelf. The book has many pictures and words. Sara and Ben want to look at the book. + +They climb on the couch and reach for the book. But the book is too heavy for them. They pull and pull, but the book does not move. They pull harder and harder, but the book does not move. They pull so hard that the book falls down. The book hits the floor with a loud bang. Some of the pages tear. Sara and Ben are scared. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees the book on the floor and the torn pages. She is angry. She says to Sara and Ben, "What did you do? You broke the book! That was a special book from Grandma. You are very naughty!" + +Sara and Ben are sad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to see the pictures. We did not mean to break the book." + +Mom sighs. She says, "I know you did not mean to break the book, but you should not touch things that are not yours. You should ask me first. Now the book is ruined. How can we fix it?" + +Sara and Ben think. They say, "We can glue the pages back. We can draw new pictures. We can say sorry to Grandma." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is a good idea. But first, you need to clean up the mess. And then, you need to take a nap. You are tired from playing. Maybe later, we can have some cocoa and cookies. Do you like that?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We like cocoa and cookies. They are yummy. We love you, Mom." + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I love you too, my chubby twins. Now, let's clean up and go to bed." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a car on it. They opened the box and saw a shiny red car that they could drive. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Tom said. "Let's take it for a ride!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Lily said. "Dad said this is his present for Mom. He will be angry if we break it." + +They put on their coats and scarves and got into the car. Tom pushed a button and the car started to move. They drove around the garage and then out to the street. They saw other cars and people and dogs. They had fun honking the horn and waving. + +But then they saw a big truck coming. It was very loud and fast. Tom tried to turn the car, but he hit a trash can. The car stopped and made a funny noise. The trash can fell over and spilled garbage everywhere. The truck driver stopped and got out. He looked angry. + +"What are you doing, kids?" he shouted. "You could have caused an accident! Where are your parents?" + +Tom and Lily felt guilty. They knew they did something bad. They started to cry. + +"We're sorry, mister," Lily said. "We just wanted to drive the car. It's a present for our mom." + +The truck driver softened. He saw the car was not really broken, just scratched. He saw the twins were scared and sorry. + +"OK, OK, don't cry," he said. "I'm not going to hurt you. But you have to promise me you won't drive the car again. It's not safe for you. You have to wait until you're older." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They promised. The truck driver helped them put the car back in the box. He also helped them clean up the trash. He gave them a hug and a smile. + +"Go back to your house and stay there," he said. "And tell your dad to hide the car better next time." + +Tom and Lily ran back to their house. They thanked the truck driver and said sorry again. They hoped their dad and mom would not be too angry. They decided to play with their other toys instead. They learned their lesson. Driving was not for kids. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same one: a red car with a zip. The zip made the car go very fast and make a loud noise. Lila and Ben both reached for the car at the same time, and they started to fight. + +"Give me the car, it's mine!" Lila shouted. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben yelled. + +They pulled and pushed and scratched each other, trying to get the car. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their dog, Spot, who was watching them with troubled eyes. Spot did not like to see his friends fight. He wanted them to be happy and share. + +Spot had an idea. He ran to the car and grabbed it with his teeth. He ran away with the car, hoping Lila and Ben would follow him and stop fighting. But Lila and Ben were so angry that they did not notice. They kept fighting and crying, until their mom came and saw them. + +"What are you doing?" their mom asked, shocked. "Why are you fighting over a toy? Don't you know that toys are for fun, not for fighting? And where is Spot? He must be very sad to see you like this." + +Lila and Ben looked at each other, and felt ashamed. They realized they had been very mean and selfish. They said sorry to each other, and hugged. They also said sorry to their mom, and asked her to help them find Spot and the car. + +They found Spot in the backyard, playing with the car. He was happy to see them, and wagged his tail. He gave them the car, and licked their faces. Lila and Ben thanked him, and decided to take turns with the car. They also gave him some of their lunch, and played with him. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that friends are more important than toys. +Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were brave knights and princesses. They had sticks for weapons and a big rock for a castle. + +"Look out, Tim! The ugly dragon is coming!" Lily shouted. She pointed to a big lizard that was crawling on the fence. + +Tim grabbed his stick and ran to the rock. He climbed on top of it and waved his weapon. "Go away, dragon! This is our castle and you can't have it!" he yelled. + +The lizard stopped and looked at Tim. It opened its mouth and hissed. It did not like the loud noise. + +Lily ran to Tim and joined him on the rock. She had a flower in her hand. She threw it at the lizard. "Take that, dragon! You are not scary, you are silly!" she said. + +The lizard did not like the flower. It turned around and ran away. It wanted to find a quiet place to rest. + +Tim and Lily cheered. They had chased away the ugly dragon. They hugged each other and rocked on the rock. They were happy and proud. They had saved their castle. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big watch in the park. It is amazing. It has many colors and buttons. + +"Wow, look at this watch!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. Can I have it?" + +"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. "It is mine. Give it to me!" + +They both want the watch. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice says. It is Tom, the park ranger. He sees Lily and Ben fighting. He is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" he asks. "Why are you fighting over this watch?" + +"It is amazing. We both want it," Lily and Ben say. + +Tom shakes his head. He picks up the watch. He shows it to Lily and Ben. + +"This is not a toy. This is a special watch. It belongs to a scientist. He left it here by mistake. He is looking for it. You cannot have it. You have to give it back." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know. They stop fighting. They say sorry to Tom and to each other. + +"Can we see the watch?" they ask. + +Tom smiles. He lets them see the watch. He tells them what the buttons do. He says the watch can measure time, temperature, and distance. He says it is amazing, but not for playing. + +Lily and Ben listen. They learn something new. They thank Tom for showing them the watch. They give it back to him. + +Tom says goodbye. He takes the watch to the scientist. Lily and Ben go back to playing. They share their toys. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They had a basket full of toys and snacks. They liked to share and have fun. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big slide!" Tom said. "Let's go down together!" + +"OK, Tom, but we have to leave the basket here. We can't take it with us," Lily said. + +They put the basket under a tree and ran to the slide. They slid down fast and laughed. They did it again and again. + +But they did not see a silly dog that came to the tree. The dog smelled the snacks in the basket. He was hungry and curious. He opened the basket with his nose and took out a sandwich. He ate it and wagged his tail. He liked it very much. + +He took out another sandwich and a cookie. He ate them too. He made a mess with the basket. He did not care. + +Lily and Tom came back to the tree. They wanted to have a snack. But they saw the silly dog and the empty basket. + +"Hey, that's our basket!" Tom said. "What did you do, silly dog?" + +The dog looked at them and barked. He was not sorry. He ran away with a banana in his mouth. + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They had no snacks left. They had to go home. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" they shouted. "You are a very silly dog!" +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the backyard. The backyard has a huge tree. The tree has many leaves and branches. Lily and Ben want to climb the tree. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Only if you are careful, and stay close to the trunk," Mom says. "The tree is very high, and you might fall." + +Lily and Ben nod. They put on their shoes and run to the backyard. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They feel happy and brave. They climb higher and higher, until they can see the whole backyard. + +"Look, Lily, I can see the swing and the sandbox and the flowers!" Ben says. + +"Me too, Ben, and I can see the birds and the clouds and the sun!" Lily says. + +They stand on the branch and smile. They do not see the squirrel that lives in the tree. The squirrel does not like visitors. It runs to the branch where Lily and Ben are standing. It makes a loud noise and shows its teeth. + +"Ah, a squirrel!" Lily screams. + +"Go away, squirrel!" Ben shouts. + +But the squirrel does not go away. It jumps on the branch and shakes it. Lily and Ben lose their balance. They hold on to the branch, but it is too thin and weak. It breaks with a snap. Lily and Ben fall to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Lily and Ben cry. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to the backyard. She sees Lily and Ben on the grass, with the broken branch and the angry squirrel. She hugs them and checks if they are hurt. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" Mom asks. + +"We are okay, Mom, but we are sorry," Lily and Ben say. + +"We should have listened to you, Mom, and stayed close to the trunk," Lily says. + +"We should not have climbed so high, Mom, and made the squirrel mad," Ben says. + +Mom kisses them and smiles. + +"It's okay, my darlings, you learned your lesson," Mom says. "But no more climbing the tree, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom," Lily and Ben say. + +They go inside the house and have some cookies and milk. They do not want to play in the backyard anymore. They do not like the huge tree or the squirrel. They like Mom and cookies and milk. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. Sara has a box of jewelry that she got from her mom. She likes to wear the shiny rings and necklaces and pretend she is a princess. Ben thinks jewelry is boring. He likes to run and jump and play with his ball. + +"Look at my jewelry, Ben!" Sara says. "It is so pretty and sparkly. Do you want to try some?" + +"No, thank you," Ben says. "Jewelry is for girls. I want to play with my ball. Come, Sara, let's play catch!" + +Sara shakes her head. "No, thank you," she says. "I want to play with my jewelry. It is more fun than a ball. Come, Ben, let's pretend we are at a party!" + +Ben and Sara cannot agree on what to play. They start to argue and yell at each other. They are both very stubborn and do not want to share or take turns. + +A lady who is walking her dog sees them and stops. She has a kind smile and a big hat. She also has a lot of jewelry on her ears, fingers, wrists and neck. She looks like a fairy. + +"Hello, children," she says. "Why are you so angry? You should be happy and friendly. Playing is more fun when you are nice to each other." + +She bends down and opens her hand. She has a small box in her palm. She opens it and shows them what is inside. It is a pair of earrings that look like tiny stars. + +"These are my magic earrings," she says. "They make me happy and calm. They also make me see the beauty in everything. Do you want to try them?" + +Sara and Ben are curious. They forget their fight and look at the earrings. They are very shiny and pretty. They nod and say yes. + +The lady puts one earring on Sara's ear and one on Ben's ear. She tells them to close their eyes and make a wish. + +Sara and Ben close their eyes and wish for something. They feel a warm and tickly sensation in their ears. They open their eyes and gasp. + +They see the park in a different way. The grass is greener, the flowers are brighter, the birds are singing louder. They see their toys and each other in a new light. They feel happy and calm. They smile and hug. + +"Wow, these earrings are amazing!" Sara says. "They make everything look so beautiful. Thank you, lady!" + +"Yes, thank you, lady!" Ben says. "They make me feel so good. I'm sorry, Sara, for being mean. Can we play together?" + +"Of course, Ben," Sara says. "I'm sorry, too. You can play with my jewelry and I can play with your ball. We can share and take turns." + +The lady smiles and claps her hands. She is glad that they are friends again. She tells them to keep the earrings as a gift. She says they are very special and they should always wear them. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben say. They are very grateful and happy. They wave goodbye to the lady and her dog. They run and play together in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are not angry or stubborn anymore. They are nice and friendly. They are not crazy. They are magic. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite ones are the animals. They have a lion, a bear, a monkey, a giraffe, and a snake. They pretend that the animals are a team and go on adventures. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a new toy in their room. It is a big green plant with a red flower. They think it is a fake plant, but it looks very pretty. They put it next to their animals and say hello. + +"Hello, plant. Do you want to play with us?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, please. I like to play with animals. They are my friends," the plant says. + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know that the plant can talk. They think it is a magic plant. They are happy to have a new friend. + +The next day, Sara and Ben go to play with their toys again. But they see that the plant is bigger than before. It has more leaves and more flowers. It also has long vines that wrap around the animals. + +"Hello, plant. Why are you so big?" Ben asks. + +"I grow every day. I need more space and more food. The animals are my food. They are not my friends. They are my lunch," the plant says. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They did not know that the plant is a bad plant. They think it is a trap plant. They are sad to lose their friends. + +They run to get their mom and dad. They tell them about the plant and the animals. Mom and dad are shocked. They see that the plant is not a toy, but a real plant. A real plant that eats animals. They do not know how it got in their room. + +They take the plant and the animals outside. They put the plant in a big pot and give it to their neighbor, who likes plants. They save the animals and wash them. They hug them and say sorry. + +Sara and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that not all plants are nice. They learn that not all toys are fake. They learn to be careful with new things. They are happy to have their team back. They play with their animals and have fun. +Lily and Ben went on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They took a plane to a new place. The plane was very noisy and made Lily's ears hurt. Ben liked to look out the window and see the clouds. + +When they got to the new place, they took a bus to a hotel. The hotel had a big lobby with a lot of people and bags. Mom and Dad checked in and got a key. They took an elevator to their room. The elevator was also noisy and made Lily's tummy feel funny. + +In their room, Mom and Dad told Lily and Ben to unpack their bags. They had a big suitcase each. Lily opened her suitcase and took out her clothes, her books, her teddy bear and her blanket. She put them in a drawer or on the bed. Ben opened his suitcase and took out his clothes, his toys, his dinosaur and his pillow. He put them in a closet or on the floor. + +Mom and Dad said they were going on a tour of the new place. They said they would see a lot of things and learn a lot of new words. Lily and Ben were excited. They put on their shoes and jackets and followed Mom and Dad out of the room. They hoped the tour would not be too noisy. +Sam and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train. The train had many cars and could make noises and lights. Sam and Lily liked to make the train go around the room and pretend they were going on a trip. + +One day, they decided to play with the train in the kitchen. They put the train on the table and made it go faster and faster. They did not see their mom, who was making a cake. She was a judge and had to go to work soon. She was very busy and did not like noise. + +The train was too fast and fell off the table. It broke into many pieces. Sam and Lily were sad and scared. They heard their mom scream. She saw the broken train and the mess on the floor. She was very angry. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they had to go to their room and stay there. She said she would not give them any cake. + +Sam and Lily cried and ran to their room. They felt sorry for breaking the train and making their mom mad. They wished they had played with the train in their room, where it was safe and quiet. They wished their mom was friendly and forgave them. They wished they could have some cake. But they could not. They had to stay in their room and wait for their dad to come home. They did not know when he would come. They did not know if he would be angry too. They did not know if they would ever play with the train again. They were very unhappy. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big race in the park. Many people run very fast. They wear numbers and shoes. Lily and Ben watch the race. They clap and cheer. + +The race is over. The people stop running. One person is first. He is very happy. He gets a medal. The medal is shiny and round. It has a ribbon. Lily and Ben think the medal is lovely. + +The person with the medal sees Lily and Ben. He smiles and walks to them. He says hello. He shows them his medal. He lets them touch it. He says they can have it. He says they are nice. + +Lily and Ben are very surprised. They say thank you. They take the medal. They share it. They put it on their necks. They feel proud. They hug the person. They say he is kind. They say he is fast. They say he is the best. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +But after a while, Tim feels tired. He says to Lily, "I want to rest. I am tired." + +Lily says, "No, Tim. Let's play more. It is fun." + +Tim says, "No, Lily. I am very tired. I need to rest." + +Lily does not listen. She pulls Tim's hand and says, "Come on, Tim. Let's go to the sandbox. We can make a castle." + +Tim does not want to go. He says, "No, Lily. Stop. I am too tired." + +Lily still does not listen. She drags Tim to the sandbox. She picks up a shovel and says, "Here, Tim. Help me make a castle." + +Tim does not take the shovel. He sits on the ground and says, "No, Lily. I don't want to make a castle. I want to rest." + +Lily gets angry. She says, "You are no fun, Tim. You are a lazy boy. I don't want to play with you." + +She throws the shovel on the ground and runs away. + +Tim feels sad. He says, "Lily, wait. Don't go. I am sorry. I am not lazy. I am just tired." + +But Lily does not hear him. She is gone. + +Tim sits alone in the sandbox. He wishes he had a modest friend. A friend who would listen to him. A friend who would understand him. A friend who would play with him and rest with him. A friend like Lily used to be. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big statue in the park. The statue is of a man with a hat and a coat. He is holding a letter in his hand. + +"Who is he?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe he is a mail man. He has a letter." + +"Can we touch him?" Tim says. + +They go closer to the statue. They touch his hat, his coat, and his letter. They are rough and cold. + +"Ouch!" Tim says. "He is not soft. He is rough." + +"Maybe he is sad," Sam says. "Maybe he misses someone. Maybe he wants to mail his letter." + +"Who does he miss?" Tim says. + +"Maybe his mom, or his dad, or his friend," Sam says. + +They feel sorry for the statue. They want to help him. + +"Let's mail his letter for him," Tim says. + +"OK," Sam says. + +They take the letter from his hand. They run to the mail box. They put the letter in the mail box. + +"Bye, mail man," they say. "We hope you are happy now." + +They wave to the statue. They smile. They go back to play. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big red pepper growing on a plant. They wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, a pepper!" Lily said. "Let's get it!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!" + +They both reached for the pepper, but it was too high for them. They tried to jump and pull, but they could not get it. They started to cry and shout. + +"Give me the pepper!" + +"No, you give me the pepper!" + +They did not hear their mom call them from the house. She wanted them to come inside for lunch. She saw them fighting over the pepper and came to the garden. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "Why are you crying?" + +They both pointed at the pepper and said, "We want the pepper!" + +Mom looked at the pepper and smiled. She saw something mysterious on it. It was a sticker with a smiley face and a word. She picked the pepper and showed it to them. + +"Look, this is not a real pepper," she said. "It is a toy pepper. Someone played a trick on you. Can you read what it says?" + +They looked at the sticker and tried to read. They saw the letters: A-P-R-I-L. + +"April?" Lily said. + +"April?" Ben said. + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, April. Do you know what day it is today?" + +They thought for a moment and said, "No." + +Mom said, "It is April Fool's Day. It is a day when people make jokes and tricks. Someone put this toy pepper in the garden to fool you. Maybe it was dad or grandma or uncle Tom. Do you think it is funny?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and then at the toy pepper. They realized it was a joke and they laughed. They said, "Yes, it is funny!" + +Mom said, "Good. Now, let's go inside and have some real lunch. Maybe we can find out who made the joke and make one back. How about that?" + +Lily and Ben agreed and followed mom to the house. They forgot about the pepper and the fight. They were happy and hungry. They wondered who the mysterious joker was. +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide, and look at the flowers and birds. She also liked to see the fox that lived in the woods near the park. The fox was shy and quiet, but sometimes he came out to look for food or to say hello to Mia. + +"Hi, fox!" Mia would say. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The fox would nod and wag his tail, and they would run and chase each other on the grass. Mia liked the fox very much. He was her friend. + +But one day, when Mia went to the park, she did not see the fox. She looked for him in the woods, but he was not there. She called his name, but he did not answer. She felt sad and worried. Where was the fox? + +"Mia, what's wrong?" her mom asked. "Why are you crying?" + +"I miss the fox, mom," Mia said. "He is not here. Maybe he is lost or hurt or scared. I want to see him again." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Mia. Maybe the fox is just hiding or sleeping or busy. He will come back soon. He is your friend, and he misses you too." + +Mia hoped her mom was right. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay, mom. I will wait for the fox. But can we stay a little longer in the park? Maybe he will show up." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Mia. We can stay a little longer. Maybe we can have a picnic and read a story. Would you like that?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. Thank you." + +They spread a blanket on the grass and took out some sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank and talked and laughed. Mia felt a little better. She still missed the fox, but she was happy to be with her mom. + +Then, she heard a soft noise behind a bush. She turned her head and saw a pair of bright eyes and a furry nose. It was the fox! He had come back! + +Mia jumped up and ran to the bush. She hugged the fox and said, "Fox, fox, I'm so glad you're here! I missed you so much! Where were you?" + +The fox licked her face and said, "I missed you too, Mia. I'm sorry I was gone. I had to go to the vet. He gave me a shot and a bandage. I had a hurt paw. But now I'm better. Can we play again?" + +Mia smiled and said, "Of course we can play again, fox. You're my friend. I'm happy you're better. Come on, let's go to the swings and slide. Mom, can the fox come too?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Sure, Mia. The fox can come too. He's your friend. And he's very brave and smart. He went to the vet and got better. I'm proud of him." + +Mia and the fox ran to the swings and slide. They played and had fun. They were loud and happy. They were friends. And they did not miss each other anymore. +Ben and Lily were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go to the attic," Ben suggested. "Maybe we can find something unique there." + +"What is the attic?" Lily asked. She had never been there before. + +"It is a big room under the roof. Mom and Dad keep old things there. Come on, I will show you," Ben said. He took Lily's hand and led her to the stairs. + +They climbed up the stairs and opened the door. The attic was dark and dusty. They saw boxes, bags, and furniture. They also saw some strange things, like a hat with feathers, a wooden horse, and a shiny ball. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben exclaimed. He picked up the hat and put it on his head. "I am a pirate!" + +Lily giggled. She saw the wooden horse and climbed on it. "I am a princess!" + +They pretended to be pirates and princesses. They had a lot of fun in the attic. They found many unique things and made up stories about them. + +They did not notice that it was getting late. They only heard Mom's voice calling them. + +"Ben, Lily, it is time for dinner. Come down, please." + +They put the things back where they found them and ran down the stairs. + +"Did you have fun in the attic?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Ben and Lily said. "We found some unique things and played with them." + +Mom smiled. She was glad that they used their imagination and had fun. She hugged them and took them to the kitchen. +Lily likes to keep her muscles strong. She does jumping and running and lifting every day. She has a big ball that she throws and catches with her dad. She has a small bike that she rides with her mom. She has a rope that she swings and skips with her friends. + +One day, Lily sees a new thing in the park. It is a big slide that goes very high and fast. Lily wants to try it, but she is a little scared. She sees other kids go up and down and have fun. She thinks, "I have strong muscles, I can do it too." + +She goes to the slide and climbs the steps. She feels her muscles work hard. She gets to the top and looks down. She feels her heart beat fast. She holds the rail and gets ready. She thinks, "I am brave, I can do it too." + +She lets go and slides down. She feels the wind and the speed. She feels her stomach tickle. She feels her face smile. She gets to the bottom and jumps off. She feels happy and proud. She thinks, "I did it, I did it!" + +She runs to her dad and hugs him. He says, "You are amazing, Lily! You have strong muscles and a strong heart. You can do anything you want." Lily says, "Thank you, dad! I love you. Can I do it again?" He says, "Of course, my sweet. Let's go together." They go to the slide and have more fun. Lily keeps her muscles strong and her heart happy. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy vehicles in the backyard. Tim had a red car and Lily had a blue truck. They made noises and pretended to drive them on the grass. + +"Look, my car is faster than your truck!" Tim said, zooming his car past Lily's truck. + +"No, it's not! My truck is stronger than your car!" Lily said, bumping her truck into Tim's car. + +They started to argue and push each other's vehicles. They were not being nice. + +Mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting and frowned. + +"Tim, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you not sharing and playing nicely?" + +"Mom, Tim said his car is faster than my truck!" Lily said. + +"Mom, Lily said her truck is stronger than my car!" Tim said. + +Mom shook her head. "You are both being ignorant. You don't know what those words mean. Faster and stronger are not the same. They are different. And they are not important. What is important is to have fun and be kind." + +She picked up their vehicles and gave them back to them. + +"Here, why don't you try something else? Why don't you encourage each other to do something good with your vehicles? Like, help someone who needs a ride, or deliver something, or build something. Can you do that?" + +Tim and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They felt sorry for being mean. + +"Okay, Mom, we can do that," they said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. Then they took their vehicles and started to play again. This time, they were nice. + +"Good job, Tim, you can drive your car very well!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily, you can load your truck very well!" Tim said. + +They encouraged each other and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. +Lily and Sam liked to watch the parade. They saw big balloons, loud drums, and funny clowns. They waved at the people who walked by. Some people gave them candy and stickers. + +One person was different. He did not talk with his mouth. He talked with his hands. He made shapes and movements with his fingers and palms. He smiled at Lily and Sam. He was signing. + +Lily and Sam did not know what he was saying. They were curious. They asked their mom. + +"Mom, what is he doing?" Lily said. + +"He is signing. He is using sign language. That is how he talks to other people who sign. It is a special way of communicating," Mom said. + +"Can we learn sign language?" Sam said. + +"Sure, you can. It is fun and useful. You can make new friends who sign. And you can say things without making noise," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam wanted to learn sign language. They asked the person who signed if he could teach them. He nodded and signed yes. He showed them how to sign hello, thank you, and parade. Lily and Sam copied him. They were happy. They made a new friend who was unusual and nice. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with a hole. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's go in the hole!" Ben says. He is brave. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lila says. She is humble. + +They crawl in the hole. It is dark and cold. They hear a sound. It is a mole. The mole is digging underground. + +"Hello, mole!" Lila says. She is friendly. + +"Hello, children!" the mole says. He is surprised. + +"What are you doing underground?" Ben asks. He is curious. + +"I am making my home. I like to dig and find things." the mole says. He is happy. + +"Can we see your home?" Lila asks. She is polite. + +"Sure, follow me!" the mole says. He is kind. + +They follow the mole. He shows them his home. It is cozy and warm. He has many things he found underground. He has stones, shells, coins, and buttons. + +"Wow, you have so many things!" Ben says. He is amazed. + +"Thank you, I like to collect them. Do you want to have one?" the mole says. He is generous. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben say. They are grateful. + +The mole lifts a shiny button and gives it to Lila. He lifts a colorful shell and gives it to Ben. + +"Thank you, mole!" Lila and Ben say. They are happy. + +"You're welcome, children! Come back anytime!" the mole says. He is friendly. + +Lila and Ben crawl out of the hole. They have a new friend and a new thing. They are glad. They wave goodbye to the mole and go back to the park. They play with their button and shell. They are humble. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and games. They liked to pretend they were pirates or astronauts or superheroes. Sometimes they made a mess, but they always cleaned up before mom came. + +One day, they found a big key under the bed. It was shiny and heavy and had a funny shape. They wondered what it could open. They looked around the room for a lock. They tried the door, the closet, the drawers, but none of them fit. They were about to give up when they saw a small hole in the ceiling. + +"Maybe it's a secret door!" Tom said. "Let's try it!" + +He climbed on the bed and reached for the hole. He put the key in and turned it. There was a click and a creak. The ceiling opened and a ladder came down. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "Let's go up and see what's there!" + +They climbed the ladder and entered a dark and dusty attic. There were boxes and bags and old things. They saw a lamp, a hat, a doll, a guitar. They wanted to explore and play with everything. + +But then they heard mom's voice downstairs. + +"Tom! Lily! Time for lunch!" + +They ran to the ladder and tried to go down. But the ceiling was closed and the key was gone. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "We're locked in!" + +They banged on the ceiling and shouted for help. But mom didn't hear them. She thought they were playing in their room. + +They started to cry. They were hungry and scared and bored. They wished they never found the key. They thought it was a stupid key. They hoped mom would find them soon. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the woods. One day, they see an elderly hunter. He has a big gun and a dog. He is looking for animals. + +"Hello, hunter," Tom says. "What are you doing?" + +"I am hunting for rabbits," the hunter says. "They are good to eat. Do you want to see?" + +"No, thank you," Sue says. "We do not like to hurt animals. We like to watch them and feed them." + +The hunter laughs. "You are silly children," he says. "Animals are not your friends. They are food or fur. You should learn to hunt, too. It is fun and useful." + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not like the hunter. They do not like his gun and his dog. They do not like his words. They run away from him. They find a safe place to hide. They hug each other. + +"We do not want to hunt," Tom says. "We want to love animals." + +"Me, too," Sue says. "Animals are our friends. The hunter is mean and old." + +They stay in the woods until the hunter is gone. Then they go back to their homes. They tell their parents what they saw. Their parents are proud of them. They say they are kind and brave. They give them hugs and kisses. Tom and Sue are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Mia like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a big lake near their house. The lake is frozen and has ice on top. Tim and Mia want to go on the ice and slide and skate. + +"Look, Mia, ice!" Tim says. "Let's go on it and have more fun!" + +"OK, Tim, but be careful. The ice may be thin and break," Mia says. + +They run to the lake and step on the ice. It is cold and icy and slippery. They slide and skate and have more fun. + +But then, they hear a loud crack. The ice is breaking under their feet. They are scared and scream for help. + +"Help, help, we are on the ice and it is breaking!" Tim and Mia shout. + +Their mom and dad hear them and run to the lake. They see Tim and Mia on the ice and are worried. They grab a long stick and a rope and try to reach them. + +"Tim, Mia, don't move and don't disturb the ice. We are coming to get you!" their mom and dad say. + +They throw the rope to Tim and Mia and tell them to hold on. They pull them to the shore with the stick and the rope. They hug them and check if they are OK. + +"Tim, Mia, you are safe now. But you should never go on the ice without us. It is very dangerous and you could fall in the water and get hurt," their mom and dad say. + +"Sorry, mom and dad. We didn't know the ice was so thin and weak. We just wanted to have fun," Tim and Mia say. + +"We know, but you have to be careful and listen to us. We love you and we don't want you to get hurt. Next time, we will go on the ice together, but only if it is thick and strong," their mom and dad say. + +"OK, mom and dad. We love you too. And we are sorry we disturbed the ice," Tim and Mia say. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Mom, can we go on the slide?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but you have to wait your turn. There are other kids on the slide," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They wait in line. They see a boy with a red hat. He goes on the slide very fast. He looks happy. + +"Wow, he is so fast!" Tom says. + +"I want to be fast too!" Lily says. + +They wait some more. They see a girl with a yellow dress. She goes on the slide very slow. She looks scared. + +"Uh-oh, she is so slow!" Tom says. + +"I want to be brave!" Lily says. + +They wait some more. They are almost at the front of the line. They are excited. + +"Mom, we are next!" Lily says. + +"Good, but be careful. The slide is high," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They climb the stairs. They reach the top of the slide. They look down. They see a big puddle at the end of the slide. It is brown and muddy. + +"Yuck, what is that?" Lily says. + +"I don't know, but it looks terrible!" Tom says. + +They don't want to go on the slide anymore. They want to go back. + +"Mom, we don't want to go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"Mom, we want to go back!" Tom says. + +But it is too late. The boy behind them pushes them. They slide down. They can't stop. They splash into the puddle. They are wet and dirty. + +"Help, help!" Lily says. + +"Mom, mom!" Tom says. + +Mom hears them. She hurries to them. She picks them up. She hugs them. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asks. + +"We are okay, but we are wet and dirty!" Lily says. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We didn't want to go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"It's okay, sweeties. It was not your fault. The boy was mean. He should not have pushed you," Mom says. + +She takes them to the bathroom. She cleans them up. She gives them new clothes. She kisses them. + +"Let's go home. We can play something else," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They hold Mom's hand. They leave the park. They are happy again. +Lily and Sam are playing in the pool. They like to swim and splash and dive. They have a game where they see who can stay under the water longer. They take a big breath and go down. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily says. + +They both close their eyes and count in their heads. One, two, three, four, five. Sam feels his chest get tight. He needs oxygen. He opens his eyes and sees Lily still under the water. She looks happy and calm. She can hold her breath longer than him. He thinks she is brave. + +He swims up and gasps for air. He looks at Lily and waits for her to come up too. He counts again. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. He starts to worry. Maybe she is in trouble. Maybe she can't breathe. Maybe she needs help. + +He dives down again and grabs her hand. He pulls her up and shouts, "Lily, Lily, are you okay?" + +Lily coughs and splutters. She opens her eyes and smiles. "I'm okay, Sam. I was just having fun. I like the deep water. It's quiet and cool." + +Sam hugs her and says, "You scared me, Lily. You were under the water for too long. You need oxygen to live. You can't stay in the deep water forever." + +Lily hugs him back and says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to scare you. I know I need oxygen. But I also like to explore. The deep water has many things to see. Maybe next time we can go together. But we have to be careful and come up for air." + +Sam nods and says, "Okay, Lily. Next time we can go together. But we have to be careful and come up for air. And we have to tell Mom and Dad where we are going. They might get worried too." + +Lily and Sam swim back to the edge of the pool. They hold hands and laugh. They are happy and safe. They love the water and each other. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together at school. They are popular. Many kids want to play with them. But Ben and Mia do not share. They keep the best toys for themselves. They do not let other kids join them. + +One day, it is time for nap. The teacher tells the kids to go to the hall. There are mats and blankets in the hall. The kids can sleep on the mats and cover with the blankets. The teacher says, "Find a mat and a blanket. Be quiet and sleep well." + +Ben and Mia run to the hall. They want to find the best mat and the best blanket. They see a big mat and a soft blanket. They say, "This is ours. We want this one." They grab the mat and the blanket. But another kid is there. His name is Sam. He says, "No, this is mine. I saw it first. I want this one." He holds the mat and the blanket. + +Ben and Mia do not listen. They pull the mat and the blanket. Sam pulls too. They start to fight. They yell and cry. They make a lot of noise. The teacher hears them. She comes to the hall. She sees them fighting. She is angry. She says, "Stop it! You are being rude and selfish. You are not sharing. You are not napping. You are disturbing the other kids. You are in trouble." + +The teacher takes the mat and the blanket away. She gives them to Sam. She says, "Sam, you can have this mat and this blanket. You were here first. You were polite. You can nap here." She takes Ben and Mia to another room. She says, "Ben and Mia, you have to sit on the floor. You have no mat and no blanket. You have to stay awake. You have to think about what you did. You have to say sorry to Sam and the other kids. You have to learn to share and be nice." + +Ben and Mia are sad and cold. They wish they had a mat and a blanket. They wish they had napped. They wish they had shared and been nice. They are not popular anymore. The other kids do not like them. They have no friends. They have a bad ending. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a stick. They bounce the ball and hit it with the stick. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and the stick. The dog wants to play too. The dog runs to Tim and Mia and barks. The dog takes the ball and the stick in his mouth. He runs away. + +Tim and Mia are sad. They want their ball and their stick back. They chase the dog. They say, "Hey, dog, give us our ball and stick! They are ours, not yours!" + +The dog does not listen. He thinks Tim and Mia want to play with him. He runs faster and faster. He goes to the lake. He jumps in the water. He drops the ball and the stick. He swims and splashes. + +Tim and Mia stop. They do not want to go in the water. They are wet and tired. They look at the dog. The dog looks happy. He wags his tail. He barks. + +Tim and Mia smile. They say, "OK, dog, you can play with our ball and stick. But only for a little while. Then you have to give them back. OK?" + +The dog nods. He swims to the shore. He brings the ball and the stick to Tim and Mia. He licks their faces. He wants to be their friend. + +Tim and Mia pat the dog. They say, "You are a good dog. What is your name?" + +The dog has a tag on his collar. It says, "Rex". Tim and Mia say, "Hello, Rex. We are Tim and Mia. Do you want to play with us?" + +Rex barks. He does want to play with them. Tim and Mia throw the ball and the stick. Rex fetches them. They take turns. They share. They have fun. + +The park is peaceful. Tim, Mia and Rex are happy. They are friends. +Sara was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a big cake with four candles. She had many friends to play with. She had many gifts to open. + +But there was one gift that made her scared. It was a big box with a red bow. It was from her uncle Tom. He always gave her strange gifts. Last year, he gave her a toy spider that moved and made noises. Sara did not like spiders. + +She did not want to open the big box. She thought it might have something scary inside. She asked her mom, "Can I open it later?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, honey. You can open it when you are ready. But maybe it is not so scary. Maybe it is something nice. Why don't you try to remove the bow and see?" + +Sara looked at the big box. She was curious, but also scared. She took a deep breath and reached for the bow. She pulled it gently and it came off. She saw a hole in the box. She peeked inside. + +She saw a fluffy white head with black eyes and ears. It was a teddy bear! A big, soft, cuddly teddy bear. Sara was not scared anymore. She was happy. She opened the box and hugged the teddy bear. She said, "Thank you, uncle Tom. I love it!" + +Her uncle Tom came over and smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Sara. Happy birthday. I'm glad you like it. I know you love teddy bears. I'm sorry if I scared you. I just wanted to surprise you." + +Sara smiled back and said, "It's okay, uncle Tom. You did surprise me. But in a good way. This is the best gift ever!" +Anna likes to sign her name on her drawings. She knows how to make the letters A, N and A with her crayon. She is proud of her sign and shows it to her friends. + +Bobby likes to draw too, but he does not know how to sign his name. He only makes some lines and dots with his crayon. He sees Anna's sign and feels jealous. He wants to have a sign like Anna. + +He decides to take Anna's drawing and copy her sign. He tries to make the letters A, N and A with his crayon, but they do not look the same. He makes them too big, too small, or too messy. He is not happy with his sign. + +Anna sees Bobby with her drawing and gets angry. She runs to him and snatches her drawing back. She sees Bobby's sign and says: + +"That is not your sign, that is my sign! You are a bad boy, Bobby! You cannot take my drawing and copy my sign!" + +Bobby feels sad and ashamed. He says: + +"I am sorry, Anna. I wanted to have a sign like you, but I do not know how to make it. Can you teach me how to sign my name?" + +Anna feels sorry for Bobby. She says: + +"OK, Bobby. I can teach you how to sign your name. But you have to make your own drawing first. And you have to ask me before you take my drawing. Do you understand?" + +Bobby nods and says: + +"Yes, Anna. I understand. Thank you for teaching me how to sign my name." + +Anna and Bobby go to the table and make their own drawings. Anna shows Bobby how to make the letters B, O and B with his crayon. Bobby practices and makes his sign. He is happy with his sign and shows it to Anna. + +Anna smiles and says: + +"Good job, Bobby! You have a nice sign. Now we can both sign our drawings and print them for our parents. They will be proud of us." + +Anna and Bobby print their drawings and give them to their parents. Their parents are proud of them and hang their drawings on the wall. Anna and Bobby are happy and hug each other. They are friends again. +Sara was a shy girl who liked to keep bugs in a jar. She had a big jar with a lid that had holes in it. She put grass and leaves and water in the jar to make the bugs happy. She had a ladybug, a caterpillar, a spider and a fly in her jar. She liked to watch them crawl and fly and spin webs. + +One day, she took her jar to the park to show her friend Tom. Tom was not shy. He liked to run and jump and play with other kids. He saw Sara's jar and said, "What do you have there?" + +Sara said, "These are my bugs. They are my friends. Do you want to see them?" + +Tom said, "Yes, let me see." He took the jar from Sara and opened the lid. He said, "Wow, they are cool. Can I hold them?" + +Sara said, "No, don't. They might get hurt or fly away. Please give me back my jar." + +But Tom did not listen. He reached into the jar and grabbed the spider. He said, "Look, it's hairy and scary. I'm going to scare the other kids with it." + +He ran away with the spider, leaving Sara with the open jar. Sara was sad and scared. She tried to catch the other bugs, but they were too fast. The ladybug flew away, the caterpillar crawled away, and the fly buzzed away. Sara was left with an empty jar. She cried and cried. + +Tom came back after a while. He said, "Sorry, Sara. I lost your spider. It bit me and ran away. Are you mad at me?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I'm mad at you. You took my jar and let my bugs go. They were my friends. Now I have no friends." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to. I was just having fun. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara said, "Maybe. But you have to promise me something." + +Tom said, "What?" + +Sara said, "You have to help me find new bugs for my jar. And you have to be nice to them. And you have to be my friend too." + +Tom said, "OK, I promise. Come on, let's go look for bugs. Maybe we can find a butterfly or a beetle or a worm." + +Sara said, "OK, let's go. But you have to hold my hand. I'm still shy." + +Tom said, "OK, I'll hold your hand. Don't be shy. I'm your friend." + +They held hands and walked to the grass. They looked for bugs and put them in the jar. They closed the lid and smiled. They were friends. +Tim and Sue are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. Then they put another block on top. The tower is getting taller. + +"Look, our tower is increasing!" Tim says. He is happy. + +"Yes, it is!" Sue says. She is happy too. She finds a red block. She wants to put it on top of the tower. + +But the tower is too high. Sue cannot reach it. She tries to stand on her toes. She tries to jump. She cannot put the red block on the tower. + +"Help me, Tim!" Sue says. She is sad. + +Tim has an idea. He sees a stool. The stool is useful. He can stand on the stool. He can reach the tower. + +"Wait, Sue!" Tim says. He is smart. He takes the stool. He puts it near the tower. He climbs on the stool. He takes the red block from Sue. + +"Thank you, Tim!" Sue says. She is glad. + +Tim puts the red block on top of the tower. The tower is very tall. It is the tallest tower ever. + +"Wow, we did it!" Tim says. He is proud. + +"Yay, we did it!" Sue says. She is proud too. + +They give each other a high five. They smile. They like their tower. They like playing with blocks. They like being friends. +Tom is a boy who likes to feed his dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog who likes to eat and play. Tom gives Rex a bowl of food every day, and Rex wags his tail and licks Tom's face. + +One day, Tom and Rex go to the park. They run and jump and have fun. Rex sees a pond and jumps in. He splashes and swims and gets very wet and dirty. Tom laughs and calls Rex to come out. + +But when Rex comes out, he smells terrible. He smells like mud and fish and something bad. Tom holds his nose and says, "Rex, you need a bath!" + +Tom takes Rex home and fills the tub with water. He gets a big bottle of soap and pours some on Rex. He rubs and scrubs and makes bubbles. Rex does not like the bath. He shakes and barks and tries to get out. + +But Tom does not let Rex get out. He says, "Rex, you have to stay in the bath until you are clean and smell good. I love you, but you smell terrible!" + +Tom rinses Rex with water and dries him with a towel. He smells Rex and smiles. Rex smells like soap and flowers and something good. Tom hugs Rex and says, "Rex, you are clean and smell good. I love you, and you are a good dog!" + +Rex wags his tail and licks Tom's face. He is happy to be clean and loved. He thinks Tom is a good boy. He thinks the bath was not so bad after all. He thinks the soap was not so terrible after all. He thinks the park was fun, but the home was better. He thinks he and Tom are the best friends ever. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to build towers with the blocks they brought. They made big towers and small towers, red towers and blue towers. They had fun. + +But then a big boy came. He was mean. He kicked their towers and laughed. He said, "Your towers are silly. I can break them all." Lily and Tom were sad and scared. They tried to stop him, but he was too strong. + +"Please, don't break our towers!" Lily cried. "We worked hard to make them!" + +"I don't care. They are mine now. Go away!" the big boy said. He pushed Lily and Tom to the ground. He took their blocks and made a huge tower. He smiled and said, "Look at my tower. It is the best tower ever." + +Lily and Tom felt helpless. They had no blocks and no towers. They had no friends. They wanted to go home. But they could not find their mom. She was talking to another mom on a bench. She did not see what happened. She did not hear their cries. + +The big boy climbed on his tower. He wanted to see how high he could go. He did not see the dog. The dog was running in the park. The dog saw the tower. The dog liked to play. The dog jumped on the tower. The tower fell down. The big boy fell down. He hurt his head. He cried. + +Lily and Tom saw the big boy. They did not feel sorry for him. They felt happy. They said, "That is what you get for being mean. You deserve it." They took their blocks and ran away. They did not help the big boy. They did not find their mom. They got lost. They were in trouble. The end. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. It was a cold day, so Mom told them to choose a jacket to wear. Lily picked a pink jacket with a hood and a zipper. Ben picked a blue jacket with buttons and pockets. They put on their jackets and went outside. + +At the park, they saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Ben wanted to go on the swing. They decided to take turns. Lily went first on the slide. She climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Ben went next on the swing. He pushed himself with his feet and swung high in the air. He smiled and said, "This is fun!" But then he saw a squirrel on a tree. He wanted to see the squirrel better, so he let go of the swing and jumped off. He landed on the ground and hurt his knee. He cried and said, "Ow, that hurt!" + +Mom heard Ben cry and ran to him. She saw his knee was bleeding and his jacket was torn. She said, "Oh, Ben, what did you do? You were foolish to jump off the swing. You could have fallen on your head. Come here, let me clean your wound and put a band-aid on it." + +Lily came to Ben and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt, Ben. But you should have stayed on the swing. It was not smart to jump off. Next time, listen to Mom and be careful." She gave him a hug and said, "Do you want to play with me in the sandbox?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. I like the sandbox. Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." He wiped his tears and followed Lily to the sandbox. They played with the sand and made a castle. They forgot about the swing and the squirrel and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad they were happy again. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with their toys in the park. One day, Sam brings a new toy. It is a big red car that can make noises and move by itself. Mia thinks the car is very cool. She wants to play with it too. + +"Can I have a turn with your car, Sam?" Mia asks. + +"Okay, but only for a little bit. It is my car, not yours," Sam says. He gives the car to Mia. Mia makes the car go fast and slow, and makes it beep and honk. She is very happy. + +But Sam is not happy. He watches Mia play with his car. He feels jealous. He wants his car back. He decides to take it from Mia. + +"Hey, give me my car! You had enough time!" Sam says. He grabs the car from Mia's hands. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You said I could play with it!" Mia says. She tries to get the car back. They pull and tug on the car. They start to fight. + +"Stop it, you two!" a voice says. It is their mom. She sees them fighting over the car. She is not happy. She decides to teach them a lesson. + +"You need to learn to share and be nice to each other. If you can't play with the car together, then no one can play with it. I'm taking it away until you say sorry and make up," she says. She takes the car and puts it in her bag. + +Sam and Mia look at each other. They feel sad and sorry. They don't want to lose the car. They don't want to fight. They decide to be friends again. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to make you jealous. Your car is very cool. You can have it back," Mia says. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to be mean. You can play with my car anytime. You are my friend," Sam says. + +They hug and smile. Their mom sees them and smiles too. She decides to give them the car back. + +"Here you go, kids. You can play with the car again. But remember to share and be nice to each other, okay?" she says. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you," Sam and Mia say. They take the car and play with it together. They make it go fast and slow, and make it beep and honk. They are very happy. They have fun with their toy and their friend. They have a good day in the park. +Anna loves to polish her shoes. She likes to make them shiny and clean. She has a soft cloth and a small bottle of polish. She sits on the floor and rubs the cloth on her shoes. + +"Look, Mommy, my shoes are so shiny!" she says. + +Mommy smiles and says, "Yes, they are, Anna. You did a good job. Do you want to go to the park today?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, please! Can I wear my shoes?" + +"Of course you can, Anna. But first, let's put on your coat and hat. It's cold outside." + +Anna and Mommy put on their coats and hats and go to the park. They see many things there. They see birds and squirrels and flowers and trees. They see swings and slides and a sandbox. They see other children and their mommies and daddies. + +Anna sees a band playing music. They have drums and guitars and trumpets and flutes. They make loud and happy sounds. Anna likes the music. She claps her hands and dances. + +"Look, Mommy, a band!" she says. + +Mommy says, "Yes, Anna, a band. They are playing music for us. Do you like the music?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I do, Mommy. I like the band. Can we stay and listen?" + +Mommy says, "Sure, Anna. We can stay and listen. But don't forget your shoes. They are still shiny and clean." +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. One day, Mom said they could go to the store with her. Lily and Ben were happy. They put on their shoes and coats and got in the car. + +At the store, Mom gave them each a coin. She said they could buy one candy each. Lily and Ben ran to the candy aisle. There were many kinds of candy. They looked and looked. + +Lily saw a red candy. It was shiny and round. It had a wrapper with a picture of a cherry. Lily liked cherries. She picked up the red candy and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a red candy. It looks yummy. I want this one." + +Ben looked at the red candy. He liked red too. He wanted the same candy as Lily. He reached for another red candy. + +"No, Ben, that's mine!" Lily said. She pulled the red candy away from Ben. "You can't have it. Find your own candy." + +Ben was sad and angry. He wanted the red candy. He did not want to find another candy. He started to cry. + +"Mom, Lily won't share! She took the red candy I wanted!" + +Mom heard Ben crying. She came to the candy aisle. She saw Lily holding two red candies and Ben holding none. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you crying, Ben? And why do you have two candies, Lily?" + +Lily and Ben told Mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She looked at Lily and said: + +"Lily, that's not nice. You have to share with your brother. You can't take both red candies. You can only have one. Give one to Ben, please." + +Lily did not want to give one to Ben. She liked the red candies. She wanted to keep them both. She pouted and said: + +"But Mom, I found them first. They are mine. I don't want to share." + +Mom shook her head. She said: + +"Lily, sharing is caring. If you don't share, you won't have any candy at all. You have to be kind to your brother. He likes red candy too. How would you feel if he took something you wanted?" + +Lily thought about it. She did not like it when Ben took her toys or books. She felt bad when he did that. She looked at Ben. He was still crying. He looked sad and lonely. Lily felt sorry for him. She said: + +"OK, Mom, I'll share. Here, Ben, you can have this red candy. I'm sorry I took it from you." + +Ben stopped crying. He smiled and said: + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I cried. Do you want to share my candy too?" + +Lily smiled back and said: + +"Yes, Ben, I do. Let's share our candies. They will taste better that way." + +Mom was proud of Lily and Ben. She said: + +"That's very sweet of you, Lily and Ben. You are good twins. I love you both. Now, let's go pay for your candies and go home." + +Lily and Ben hugged Mom and said: + +"We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the candies. Can we have them in the car?" + +Mom laughed and said: + +"Sure, you can have them in the car. But don't make a mess. And don't forget to brush your teeth later." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said: + +"OK, Mom, we won't. And we won't forget to share either." + +They held hands and followed Mom to the cashier. They paid for their candies and got in the car. They unwrapped their candies and took a bite. They were delicious. They shared their candies and enjoyed them. They were happy. They learned to share. +Lily and Sam liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and slid on the grass. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Sam wanted to splash in the water. + +They took off their shoes and socks and rolled up their pants. They ran to the edge of the pond and dipped their toes. The water was cold and wet. They giggled and kicked and made big waves. The ducks and fish swam away. Lily and Sam splashed and splashed. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Sam, what are you doing? You are all wet and dirty. You have to be tidy for dinner. Come here right now. This is my order." + +Lily and Sam stopped splashing. They looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We were just having fun. We will be tidy." + +They walked to Mom. She gave them a towel and a hug. She said, "I know you were having fun, but you have to listen to me. You have to be careful and respectful. Now let's go home and get clean and dry. Then we can have dinner." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They put on their shoes and socks and followed Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love to splash." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and bounce it all day long. They loved their ball very much. + +One day, it was a cold and snowy season. Tom and Lily wanted to play with their ball, but their mom said no. She said the ball would get wet and dirty in the snow. She said they could play with other toys inside. Tom and Lily were not happy. They frowned and said they only wanted their ball. + +When their mom was busy, Tom and Lily sneaked out with their ball. They ran to the park and started to play. They had fun for a while, but then the ball got stuck in a big pile of snow. Tom and Lily tried to get it out, but they couldn't. They pulled and pushed, but the ball was too deep. They started to cry and wish they had listened to their mom. + +Then, they saw a big dog coming. The dog saw the ball and wanted to play too. He ran to the pile of snow and dug with his paws. He found the ball and took it in his mouth. He ran away with the ball, wagging his tail. Tom and Lily were shocked and sad. They had lost their ball forever. + +They ran back home and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. She said they should have obeyed her and not played with the ball in the snow. She said they learned a hard lesson. She said she would buy them a new ball when the snow melted. Tom and Lily said they were sorry too. They said they would be more careful and listen to their mom next time. They said they loved their mom and thanked her for being kind. They learned that playing outside was fun, but not when it was a cold and snowy season. They learned that their mom knew best and wanted them to be safe and happy. They learned that they should not frown, but smile and be grateful for what they had. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a huge slide. Sara and Ben want to go on the slide. + +But there is a problem. There are other kids on the slide. They talk in a different language. Sara and Ben do not understand them. They feel scared and angry. They think the other kids are mean and want to take the slide. + +Sara and Ben shout at the other kids. They say, "Go away! This is our slide!" The other kids shout back. They say, "No, you go away! This is our slide!" They do not listen to each other. They push and pull. They make a big mess. + +Their moms see them. They are not happy. They say, "Stop! This is not nice! You have to share and be kind. The slide is for everyone. It does not matter what language you speak. You can still be friends." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say, "Sorry" to the other kids. The other kids say, "Sorry" too. They smile and nod. They try to learn some words from each other. They say, "Hello", "Thank you", "Goodbye". They take turns on the slide. They have fun. + +Sara and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that language is not a barrier. They learn that huge things can be shared. They learn that friends can be different and still get along. They are happy. +Tom and Mia like to play with sand. They have a big box of sand in their backyard. They use cups and spoons and molds to make shapes and castles and animals. + +One day, they decide to organize their sand toys. They want to make their box look neat and pretty. They put all the cups in one corner, all the spoons in another, and all the molds in a third. They leave some space in the middle for their creations. + +"Look, Mia, we did a good job!" Tom says. "Now we can find our toys easily." + +"Yes, Tom, we did a good job!" Mia agrees. "Now we can make more fun things with sand." + +They start to make a big castle with towers and walls and flags. They use the cups to make the towers, the spoons to dig the moat, and the molds to make the flags. They are very happy and proud of their castle. + +But then, a funny thing happens. A big wind comes and blows their castle away. The sand flies everywhere and messes up their box. Their toys are buried under the sand. Their castle is gone. + +"Oh no, Tom, our castle!" Mia cries. "And our toys!" + +"Oh no, Mia, our castle!" Tom echoes. "And our toys!" + +They look at each other and feel sad. But then, they start to giggle. They realize that it was a funny wind. They also realize that they can make another castle. And they can organize their toys again. + +They brush off the sand from their clothes and hair. They smile and hug each other. They say, "Let's play with sand again!" +Sam likes to use his net to catch fish in the pond. He likes to see the fish swim and splash in the water. He likes to look at their colors and shapes. He thinks fish are funny. + +One day, Sam sees a big fish in the pond. It is orange and white and has a long tail. Sam wants to catch it with his net. He runs to the edge of the pond and swings his net. But the fish is too fast. It jumps out of the water and over Sam's head. It lands on the other side of the pond. + +Sam is surprised and laughs. He thinks the fish is very funny. He tries to catch it again, but the fish jumps over his net every time. Sam has fun playing with the fish. He does not mind that he cannot catch it. He likes to watch it jump and splash. He thinks the fish is his friend. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. He runs to the dog and tries to pet it. Anna is scared of the dog. She stays with mom and dad. + +"Tom, be careful!" Anna says. "The dog might bite you!" + +The dog does not bite Tom. It wags its tail and licks his face. Tom laughs and hugs the dog. The dog likes Tom. It is a friendly dog. + +Anna stares at the dog. She thinks the dog is cute, but she is still scared. She does not want to hug the dog. She wants to stay away from the dog. + +Mom and dad are alert. They watch Tom and the dog. They also watch Anna. They want to make sure the twins are safe and happy. + +"Tom, do you want to share the dog with Anna?" mom asks. "Maybe she wants to pet the dog too." + +Tom nods. He calls Anna to come closer. He holds the dog's leash and says, "Anna, this is a nice dog. He will not hurt you. You can touch him. He is soft and warm." + +Anna walks slowly to Tom and the dog. She is still scared, but she is also curious. She reaches out her hand and touches the dog's fur. The dog sniffs her hand and wags his tail. Anna smiles and pets the dog. The dog likes Anna too. He is a friendly dog. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They play with the dog in the park. They throw a ball and the dog fetches it. They give the dog a treat and the dog gives them a lick. They make a new friend in the park. + +Mom and dad are happy too. They see the twins have fun with the dog. They see the dog is gentle and kind. They feel peace in the park. They enjoy the sunny day with their family. +One day, a rich boy named Sam went to the park with his mom. He saw many kids playing with balls, bikes, and swings. He wanted to join them, but his mom said no. + +"Sam, you can't play with them. They are not like us. They are poor and dirty. We have to separate from them. You have to play with your own toys," she said. + +Sam was sad. He did not understand why he had to separate from the other kids. He thought they looked fun and friendly. He had many toys, but he was bored of them. He wanted to make new friends. + +He saw a girl with a red dress and a big smile. She was playing with a doll. Sam liked her. He walked towards her, hoping to say hello. But his mom saw him and pulled him back. + +"Sam, what are you doing? Don't go near that girl. She is not for you. She is poor and dirty. We have to separate from her. You have to play with your own toys," she said. + +Sam was angry. He did not like his mom's words. He did not care if the girl was poor or dirty. He thought she was nice and pretty. He wanted to play with her. + +He waited until his mom was busy talking on her phone. Then he ran away from her and towards the girl. He reached her and said, "Hi, I'm Sam. Can I play with you?" + +The girl looked at him and smiled. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Sure, you can play with me. Do you like dolls?" + +Sam nodded. He did not know much about dolls, but he wanted to learn. He sat down next to Lily and took her doll. He said, "This is a nice doll. What is her name?" + +Lily said, "Her name is Rose. She is my best friend. She keeps me company when I'm lonely. Do you have a best friend?" + +Sam shook his head. He said, "No, I don't. I have many toys, but no friends. My mom says I have to separate from the other kids. She says they are not like us. She says they are poor and dirty." + +Lily frowned. She said, "That's not nice. That's not true. We are all the same. We are all kids. We all want to play and have fun. We don't have to separate from each other. We can be friends." + +Sam smiled. He said, "You're right. We can be friends. You are my best friend. You make me happy. Can I give you a hug?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, you can. I like hugs. They make me feel warm and safe. Can I give you a hug too?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, you can. I like hugs too. They make me feel loved and accepted." + +They hugged each other and laughed. They played with the doll and had fun. They did not notice that Sam's mom was looking for him. They did not care that they were different. They only cared that they were friends. They did not want to separate. They wanted to stay together. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the park. They had a ball, a car, a doll and a teddy bear. They were having fun and sharing nicely. + +A boy came to the park. He was bigger than Lily and Tom. He had no toys. He looked at Lily and Tom's toys and wanted them. He was a thief. + +He ran to Lily and Tom and grabbed their ball. He said, "This is mine now!" He was very rude. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They said, "No, that is our ball! Give it back!" + +But the boy did not listen. He laughed and ran away with the ball. He was very fast. He speeded to the other side of the park. He saw a bike. He liked the bike. He left the ball and took the bike. He said, "This is mine now!" He was very rude. + +He rode the bike out of the park. He did not look where he was going. He did not see the car. The car was coming fast. The car hit the boy and the bike. The boy and the bike flew in the air. They crashed on the ground. The boy was hurt. He cried and cried. The bike was broken. The car was damaged. The driver was angry. He said, "You are a bad boy! You stole the bike! You caused an accident! You are in trouble!" + +Lily and Tom saw what happened. They felt sorry for the boy, but they also felt glad that he did not get away with their ball. They learned a lesson. They said, "Stealing is wrong. Being rude is wrong. Speeding is dangerous. We should be careful and kind." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big basket on a bench. The basket has many muffins inside. They smell good. + +"Who left these muffins here?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Ben says. + +"Can we have one?" Lily says. + +Ben looks around. He does not see anyone. He lifts the lid of the basket. He takes a muffin. He gives one to Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lily says. + +They bite the muffins. They are soft and sweet. They smile. + +A lady comes to the bench. She sees the basket. She sees Lily and Ben. + +"Hello, children. Are you enjoying the muffins?" she says. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They think they did something bad. + +"We are sorry, lady. We did not know they were yours," Lily says. + +The lady smiles. She is not angry. + +"That's all right, dear. I made these muffins for the people in the park. You can have one. But only one, okay? They are for sharing," she says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They say thank you. They finish their muffins. They are full and happy. + +The lady gives them a napkin. She tells them to wipe their mouths. She tells them to be modest and polite. She tells them to have fun. + +Lily and Ben say goodbye. They run to the slide. They play some more. They are glad they met the lady. They are glad they had a muffin. They are good friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a long vine that they used to swing and jump. One day, they saw a man with a camera and a microphone come to their house. He said he wanted to talk to them. + +"Hello, boys. I am Bob, and I work for a TV show. I heard that you have a very special vine in your garden. Can I see it?" he asked. + +Tim and Sam were curious and excited. They took Bob to the tree and showed him the vine. Bob looked at it and smiled. + +"This is amazing! This is the vine of the famous explorer, Mr. Green. He planted it here many years ago, when he came back from his adventures. He found this vine in a faraway jungle, where it had magical powers. He gave it to your grandpa, who was his friend. Do you know that?" he said. + +Tim and Sam did not know that. They looked at the vine with wonder. They did not know it was famous and magical. + +"Wow, really? What kind of powers?" they asked. + +Bob winked at them. He had a plan. + +"Well, I can't tell you. It's a secret. But I can buy it from you, and then you can watch the TV show and find out. I will give you a lot of money for it. What do you say?" he said. + +Tim and Sam thought about it. They liked the vine, but they also liked money. They could buy many toys and candies with it. They nodded and agreed. + +"OK, you can buy it. But be careful with it. It's very special," they said. + +Bob was happy. He gave them a bag of money and took the vine. He thanked them and left. He thought he had made a great deal. He did not know that the vine was not only magical, but also tricky. + +The next day, Tim and Sam watched the TV show. They saw Bob in a studio, holding the vine. He said he was going to reveal its secrets to the world. He pulled the vine and tried to make it do something. But nothing happened. He pulled harder and harder, but the vine did not move. He looked confused and angry. + +Suddenly, the vine came to life. It wrapped around Bob and squeezed him. It lifted him up and swung him around. It made a loud noise, like a laugh. The camera showed Bob's face, red and scared. He screamed for help. + +Tim and Sam laughed too. They knew the vine was playing a joke on Bob. They knew the vine liked them better. They knew they had made a mistake. They wished they had not sold the vine. They missed it. They hoped it would come back to them. They learned a lesson. They decided to never sell anything that was special and famous. +One day, a boy named Tom saw a lizard in his garden. He wanted to catch it and play with it. He ran after the lizard, but it was very fast and smart. It hid under the rocks and the plants. Tom was persistent. He did not give up. He tried to find the lizard everywhere. + +"Come here, lizard! I want to be your friend!" Tom shouted. + +But the lizard did not want to be his friend. It was scared of Tom. It did not like his big hands and loud voice. It wanted to be free and safe. It suffered when Tom chased it. It wished Tom would leave it alone. + +Finally, Tom saw the lizard's tail sticking out from behind a flower pot. He reached out his hand and grabbed it. He was happy. He thought he had caught the lizard. But he was wrong. The lizard had a trick. It could drop its tail and run away. That was how it escaped from danger. + +Tom felt something wriggle in his hand. He looked and saw only the lizard's tail. He was surprised and confused. He dropped the tail and looked around. He could not see the lizard anymore. It had run away. + +"Where did you go, lizard?" Tom asked. + +But the lizard did not answer. It was hiding in a safe place. It was glad it had escaped from Tom. It hoped Tom would not bother it again. It felt sorry for its tail, but it knew it would grow back. It was a brave and clever lizard. +Lily and Tom were young friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to look for flowers, bugs and birds. One day, they saw a big patch of grass with many daisies. They ran to the patch and started to pick some flowers. + +"Look, Lily, I made a crown for you!" Tom said, holding a ring of daisies. He put it on Lily's head and smiled. + +"Thank you, Tom, you are very kind!" Lily said, holding a bunch of daisies. She gave some to Tom and said, "You can have these, too!" + +They laughed and hugged each other. They were very happy. + +But then, a big dog came out of nowhere and ran towards them. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and jumped on them. It bit Tom's arm and Lily's leg. They screamed and cried. They dropped their flowers and tried to get away. But the dog was too fast and strong. + +No one heard them or helped them. The dog hurt them very badly. They bled a lot and felt a lot of pain. They wished they had never gone to the patch. They wished they had stayed on the swings, the slide or the seesaw. They wished someone would save them. + +But no one did. The dog killed them. They never laughed or played again. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to make a sandwich for lunch. They found some bread, cheese and sauce in the kitchen. + +"Can I spread the sauce?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't make a mess," Anna said. + +Ben took a knife and dipped it in the sauce. He tried to spread it on the bread, but he used too much. The sauce dripped from the knife and the bread. It landed on the table, the floor and Ben's shirt. + +"Oops!" Ben said. + +"Ben, look what you did! You wasted the sauce and made a mess!" Anna said. She was angry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to," Ben said. He was sad. + +Anna saw that Ben was sad. She felt sorry for him. She knew he was trying to help. + +"It's OK, Ben. We can clean it up. And we still have some sauce left. Here, let me help you," Anna said. + +She took another knife and spread some sauce on another piece of bread. She gave it to Ben. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister," Ben said. + +He smiled and took a bite of the sandwich. It was yummy. + +Anna smiled too. She made another sandwich for herself. She took a bite. It was yummy too. + +But the sauce was cold. They forgot to warm it up. + +"Brrr! The sauce is cold!" Anna said. + +"Brrr! You are right! The sauce is cold!" Ben said. + +They laughed. They didn't mind. They liked the sandwich anyway. + +They finished their lunch and cleaned up the mess. They were happy. They hugged each other. + +The end. +Sara and Tom were bored. They wanted to play, but they had no toys. Mom and Dad were busy. They said, "Do not make noise. Do not make a mess." + +Sara and Tom had a plan. They said, "Let's go to the attic. Maybe we can find some toys there. Mom and Dad never go there." + +They went to the attic. It was dark and dusty. It was messy. There were many boxes and bags. Sara and Tom opened them. They found some old toys. They found a doll, a car, a ball, a hat, and a book. + +They were happy. They played with the toys. They made noise. They made a mess. + +Mom and Dad heard them. They said, "What are you doing in the attic? Come down right now. You are in trouble." + +Sara and Tom were scared. They said, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We were bored. We wanted to play." + +Mom and Dad were angry. They said, "You should not go to the attic. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You should not make noise. You should not make a mess. You should ask us before you take anything." + +They made Sara and Tom clean the attic. They made them put the toys back. They made them say sorry. + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They said, "We will not go to the attic again. We will not make noise. We will not make a mess. We will ask Mom and Dad before we take anything." + +They hugged Mom and Dad. They said, "We love you." + +Mom and Dad hugged them back. They said, "We love you too." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. Sara has a big eraser. She can erase her mistakes and draw again. Ben does not have an eraser. He is sad when he makes a mistake. He can only use another paper. + +One day, Sara and Ben are drawing in the classroom. Sara draws a house with a high roof. Ben draws a car with big wheels. They are happy with their drawings. But then, Ben wants to draw a sun in the sky. He picks a yellow crayon and draws a circle. But he draws too big. The sun touches the roof of Sara's house. Ben is sorry. He says to Sara: + +"Oops! I made a mistake. Can I use your eraser?" + +Sara looks at her drawing. She likes her house with a high roof. She does not want Ben to erase it. She says to Ben: + +"No, you can't. This is my eraser. You have to use another paper." + +Ben is sad. He does not have another paper. He does not know what to do. He looks at Sara's eraser. He has an idea. He says to Sara: + +"Can I see your eraser? I want to look at it." + +Sara thinks Ben is curious. She says to Ben: + +"OK, but be careful. Don't lose it." + +She gives her eraser to Ben. Ben takes it and smiles. He says to Sara: + +"Thank you. I will be careful." + +But he is not careful. He is naughty. He runs away with the eraser. He says to Sara: + +"Ha ha! Now I have your eraser. I can erase my mistake. And I can erase your house too!" + +Sara is angry. She shouts at Ben: + +"Hey! Give me back my eraser. That is not nice. That is mean!" + +She runs after Ben. She wants to get her eraser back. But Ben is fast. He runs to the other side of the classroom. He erases his sun. He erases Sara's roof. He laughs. He says to Sara: + +"Look! Now your house is low. And my car is high. I like it better this way." + +Sara is sad. She does not like it. She cries. She says to Ben: + +"You are a bad friend. You ruined my drawing. You took my eraser. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She goes to the teacher. She tells her what Ben did. The teacher is not happy. She says to Ben: + +"Ben, that is not how you treat your friends. You have to say sorry to Sara. And you have to give her back her eraser. And you have to make a new drawing for her. And you have to be nice from now on." + +Ben is sorry. He knows he did wrong. He says to Sara: + +"I am sorry, Sara. I was mean. I should not have taken your eraser. I should not have erased your drawing. Here is your eraser. And here is a new drawing for you. I hope you like it." + +He gives Sara her eraser. He gives her a new drawing. He draws a house with a high roof and a sun in the sky. He draws a car with big wheels and a flower in the window. He writes "Sara and Ben are friends" on the paper. He smiles. He says to Sara: + +"Can we be friends again?" + +Sara looks at the drawing. She likes it. She smiles. She says to Ben: + +"Yes, we can be friends again. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will never take my eraser again. And you will never erase my drawing again. And you will always be nice to me." + +Ben nods. He says to Sara: + +"I promise. I will never take your eraser again. I will never erase your drawing again. I will always be nice to you." + +Sara and Ben hug. They are friends again. They are happy. They go back to their seats. They finish their drawings. They show them to the teacher. The teacher is happy. She says to Sara and Ben: + +"Good job, Sara and Ben. You made beautiful drawings. And you learned a lesson. You learned to share and to respect each other. You learned to be good friends." +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pile of leaves and wanted to play in it. They ran to the pile and jumped in, laughing and throwing leaves in the air. + +"Look, mom, we are making a big mess!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's okay, you can have fun, but be careful not to pick any leaves that have a flame on them." + +"A flame? What is that?" Lily asked. + +Mom pointed to a small fire that someone had made near the pile. "That is a flame. It is very hot and can hurt you. You should never touch it or go near it." + +Ben and Lily nodded and stayed away from the flame. They continued to play in the leaves, making shapes and sounds with them. They pretended they were animals and monsters and fairies. + +Soon, the sun started to go down and the sky became gloomy. Mom said, "It is time to go home, kids. It is getting dark and cold." + +Ben and Lily agreed and got out of the pile. They helped mom put the leaves back in a neat heap. They said goodbye to the park and the leaves and the flame. + +They walked home with mom, holding her hands. They felt warm and happy, even though it was gloomy outside. They had had a fun day in the park. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. Mommy and Daddy are busy in the kitchen. They are making a big dinner for Grandma and Grandpa. + +Lily and Ben see a tray on the table. It has cookies and milk on it. They both want some. They run to the tray and grab a cookie. But Lily wants the cookie that Ben has, and Ben wants the cookie that Lily has. They start to pull and yell. + +"Mine! Mine!" Lily says. + +"No, mine! Mine!" Ben says. + +Mommy and Daddy hear the noise. They come to the living room. They see Lily and Ben fighting over the cookies. They are not happy. + +"Stop it, Lily and Ben!" Mommy says. "You need to share and be nice. There are enough cookies for everyone." + +"But I want this one!" Lily says. + +"And I want this one!" Ben says. + +Mommy and Daddy sigh. They take the tray and put it on a high shelf. They say, "No cookies for you until you calm down. You need to go to your room and think about what you did. Maybe then you will be sorry and say sorry." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to go to their room. They do not want to say sorry. But they have no choice. They walk to their room and slam the door. + +Mommy and Daddy go back to the kitchen. They hope that Lily and Ben will learn their lesson. They hope that Grandma and Grandpa will have a peaceful visit. They hope that the cookies will not get cold. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence. Then they had to run and get it back. + +One day, they saw a big bag near the fence. It was brown and had a zipper. They wondered what was inside. They bounced the ball over the fence on purpose and ran to the bag. + +"Let's open it and see," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be someone's," Ben said. + +They opened the zipper and looked inside. They saw many small boxes with pictures of food on them. They smelled something spicy. + +"Wow, look at these. They are snacks," Lily said. + +"Can we try one?" Ben asked. + +Lily picked a box that had a picture of a pepper. She opened it and took out a small cracker. She bit it and made a funny face. + +"Ow, ow, ow! This is very spicy. It hurts my mouth," she said. + +Ben laughed and took another box. He opened it and took out a small candy. He put it in his mouth and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is sweet and yummy. I like it," he said. + +They heard a loud voice behind them. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my bag? That's my lunch," the voice said. + +They turned around and saw a man in a blue uniform. He looked angry. He had a badge and a hat. + +He was a policeman. + +They dropped the boxes and ran back to the fence. They grabbed the ball and ran away. + +They learned a lesson that day. They should not touch other people's things. And they should not eat spicy snacks. +Tim and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. It was a sunny day and they had a lot of fun. Tim was the seeker and Lily was the hider. She ran to find a good spot to hide. She saw a big building with a cross on top. It was a church. She thought it would be a good place to hide. + +She opened the door and went inside. It was very quiet and dark. She saw some benches and some statues. She felt a little anxious. She did not know if she was allowed to be there. She heard some footsteps behind her. She thought it was Tim. She ran to the back of the church and hid behind a curtain. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Tim called. He had followed her into the church. He looked around and saw the benches and the statues. He felt a little scared. He did not like the church. He wanted to find Lily and go back to the park. He walked to the back of the church and saw a curtain. He pulled it aside and saw Lily. + +"Boo!" Lily shouted. She wanted to surprise Tim. But Tim did not laugh. He screamed. He saw a man behind Lily. He was wearing a black robe and a white collar. He had a stern face and a big book in his hand. He was the priest. + +"What are you doing here, children?" the priest asked. He sounded angry. He did not like children in his church. He wanted them to leave. + +Lily and Tim were very afraid. They did not know what to say. They wanted to run away. But they could not move. They felt like they were frozen. They wished they had never gone into the church. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had played a different game. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. + +One day, the ball rolled into a big bush. Lily and Ben ran after it. They pushed the leaves and branches aside and saw something scary. It was a skeleton! + +The skeleton was lying on the ground. It had no skin, no hair, no eyes. It had only bones. It looked very old and mysterious. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it was a person a long time ago." + +"Maybe it was a pirate or a king or a dinosaur," Lily said. + +"Maybe it was a monster or a ghost or a robot," Ben said. + +They were curious and afraid. They wanted to touch the skeleton, but they also wanted to run away. + +"Hello, skeleton," Lily said in a small voice. + +The skeleton did not answer. It did not move. It did not make any sound. + +"Maybe it is sleeping," Ben said. + +"Maybe it is waiting for us to leave," Lily said. + +They looked at each other. They decided to leave the skeleton alone. They grabbed their ball and ran out of the bush. They did not want to play with the skeleton. They wanted to play with each other. They passed the ball and laughed and forgot about the skeleton. +Tommy wanted to have a haircut like his big brother. His big brother had short hair that looked cool and neat. Tommy had long hair that got in his eyes and made him hot. He asked his mom if he could go to the barber with his big brother. His mom said yes, but she warned him that the barber was very busy and he had to wait his turn. + +Tommy and his big brother went to the barber shop. There were many people waiting for the barber. The barber was a man with a big smile and a big scissors. He cut people's hair very fast and made them look different. Tommy watched the barber and felt excited. He wanted to look different too. + +When it was Tommy's turn, he climbed on the big chair and told the barber what he wanted. He said he wanted short hair like his big brother. The barber nodded and smiled. He said he could do that. He took his big scissors and started to cut Tommy's hair. Tommy felt the scissors snip snip snip on his head. He felt his hair fall on his shoulders and on the floor. He closed his eyes and imagined how he would look. + +But when he opened his eyes, he saw something terrible. The barber had cut his hair too short. He had cut it so short that he could see his scalp. He looked like a bald baby. He felt a cold breeze on his head. He felt tears in his eyes. He looked at the mirror and screamed. + +"What did you do to me?" he cried. "You ruined my hair! You made me look ugly!" + +The barber looked surprised and scared. He said he was sorry. He said he thought Tommy wanted very short hair. He said he was trying to be fast and dependable. He said he could fix it with a hat or a wig. + +Tommy did not want a hat or a wig. He wanted his hair back. He wanted to look like his big brother. He wanted to go home. He jumped off the chair and ran to his mom. His mom saw him and gasped. She hugged him and said it was okay. She said hair grows back. She said he was still her handsome boy. + +But Tommy did not feel okay. He felt angry and sad. He felt ashamed and silly. He did not want to go outside or see anyone. He wished he never went to the barber. He wished he never wanted to look different. He wished he could shrug it off and forget it. But he could not. He had to live with his bad haircut. He had to wait for his hair to grow back. He had to hope that people would not laugh at him. He had to learn a hard lesson. He had to be careful what he wished for. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They have a favorite animal. It is a big hippo. His name is Harry. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the zoo. They see Harry in the water. He is happy. He splashes and swims. Sara and Ben wave to him. Harry waves back with his tail. + +But then, Sara and Ben hear a loud noise. It is a mean lion. He has escaped from his cage. He is hungry. He sees Sara and Ben. He runs towards them. Sara and Ben are scared. They scream for help. + +Harry hears them. He is loyal. He loves Sara and Ben. He jumps out of the water. He runs to them. He blocks the lion with his big body. He roars at the lion. The lion is scared. He runs away. + +Sara and Ben are safe. They hug Harry. They thank him for saving them. Harry smiles. He is happy. He hugs them back. He is their hero. +Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. Mommy gave her some medicine to make her feel better. But Anna did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. + +"Anna, you have to take your medicine. It will help you stop coughing and cool down your head," Mommy said. + +"No, no, no! I don't want it! It's icky!" Anna said. She closed her mouth and turned her head away. + +Mommy sighed. She tried to be patient and gentle. She said, "Anna, I know you don't like it, but it's good for you. If you don't take your medicine, you will stay sick and miss all the fun things you can do. You won't be able to play with your toys, or read your books, or go to the park. You will have to stay in bed and be bored and sad. Is that what you want?" + +Anna thought about it. She did not want to stay in bed and be bored and sad. She wanted to play with her toys, and read her books, and go to the park. She wanted to feel better and have fun. She looked at Mommy and said, "OK, Mommy. I will take my medicine. But can you give me some water and a hug after?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, my sweetie. I'm proud of you for being brave and smart. Here, open your mouth and swallow this spoonful. Then I will give you some water and a hug." + +Anna opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine. It was still bitter and yucky, but she did not make a fuss. She drank some water and felt Mommy's hug. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +"I love you too, Anna. You're a good girl. Now, let's tuck you in and read you a story. Maybe tomorrow you will feel better and we can go to the park." + +Anna nodded and snuggled into her bed. She listened to Mommy's voice as she read her a story. She felt sleepy and warm. She learned that sometimes you have to do things you don't like, but they are good for you. She learned that Mommy loves her and wants her to be happy and healthy. She learned that taking medicine is not so bad, if you have water and a hug after. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Lily and Max were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build the tallest tower ever. They stacked and stacked the blocks, but they did not agree on how to do it. + +"No, Max, you have to put the red block here!" Lily said. + +"But I like the blue block better!" Max said. + +They started to argue and pull the blocks from each other. Their tower wobbled and fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor. + +They both felt sad and angry. They did not want to play with each other anymore. + +Their mom came into the room and saw the mess. She asked them what happened. + +"We were trying to build the tallest tower ever, but we could not agree on how to do it!" Lily said. + +"We both wanted to have the victory, but we only made a big mess!" Max said. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I know you both want to have fun and do your best, but sometimes you have to settle and share. How about you try to build the tower together, and take turns choosing the blocks? That way, you can both have the victory and be happy." + +Lily and Max thought about it. They decided to give it a try. They said sorry to each other and picked up the blocks. They worked together and built a new tower. It was not the tallest tower ever, but it was very pretty and strong. They were proud of their tower and of themselves. + +They gave each other a high five and a hug. They said, "We did it!

I'm the fastest cowboy in the world!" Tom shouted, as he whipped his horse and ran ahead. + +"Wait for me, Tom! Don't ignore me!" Lily cried, as she tried to catch up with him. + +But Tom did not listen. He was having too much fun by himself. He ignored Lily and kept on running and whipping his horse. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with Tom, but he was not being a good friend. He was not being reliable. She decided to stop chasing him and find something else to do. + +She saw a big pile of leaves in the corner of the garden. She thought it would be fun to jump in them and make them fly. She left her horse and whip on the ground and ran towards the leaves. + +She jumped in the pile and laughed as the leaves tickled her face and hair. She felt happy and free. + +She heard Tom calling her name. He had stopped running and noticed that Lily was gone. He looked around and saw her in the leaves. He felt lonely and sorry.

She saw that he was sorry and wanted to be a good friend again. She threw some leaves at him and said, "OK, Tom, let's play. But you have to be reliable and not ignore me." + +Tom nodded and smiled back. He picked up his horse and whip and joined Lily in the leaves. They played and laughed and had fun. They were reliable friends. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their wagon. They put their toys in it and pulled it around the yard. Sometimes they pretended it was a car, or a boat, or a train. They had a lot of fun with their wagon. + +One day, the sky was gray and the wind was cold. Ben and Mia's mom said it was going to rain soon. She told them to play inside until the rain stopped. But Ben and Mia were restless. They wanted to play with their wagon outside. They did not like to play inside. + +"Let's go outside for a little bit," Ben said to Mia. "Maybe the rain will not come." + +"OK," Mia said. "But we have to be quick. Mom will be mad if we get wet." + +They put on their jackets and shoes and ran outside with their wagon. They did not see the dark clouds or hear the thunder. They were too busy playing with their wagon. + +They pulled their wagon to the big hill behind their house. They liked to go down the hill fast and feel the wind in their hair. They took turns sitting in the wagon and pulling it. + +"Your turn, Mia," Ben said. He got out of the wagon and gave it to Mia. "Hold on tight. It's fun." + +Mia got in the wagon and smiled. She held on to the sides and waited for Ben to push her. Ben pushed her hard and she started to go down the hill. + +But then, something bad happened. The rain came. It came fast and hard. It made the ground wet and slippery. It made the wagon wheels slide and spin. It made Mia scream. + +"Ben, help!" Mia cried. She could not stop the wagon. It was going too fast. It was going out of control. + +Ben ran after her. He tried to catch the wagon. He tried to stop it. But he was too late. The wagon hit a rock and flipped over. Mia fell out and rolled on the grass. She was wet and dirty and scared. + +Ben reached her and hugged her. He was wet and dirty and scared too. He checked if she was hurt. She had a scratch on her knee and a bump on her head. But she was OK. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben said. "I should have listened to mom. We should have stayed inside." + +"It's OK, Ben," Mia said. "I'm sorry too. We should have listened to mom." + +They heard their mom calling them. She had seen the rain and the wagon and the crash. She was worried and angry. She came to get them and take them inside. + +"Ben, Mia, what were you thinking?" she said. "You could have been hurt. You could have broken the wagon. You know you're not supposed to play outside when it rains." + +"We're sorry, mom," Ben and Mia said. They looked down and felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. + +Mom took them inside and cleaned them up. She put a band-aid on Mia's knee and a ice pack on her head. She dried their clothes and their wagon. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"I'm glad you're OK," she said. "But you have to be more careful. You have to listen to me. You have to follow the rules." + +"We know, mom," Ben and Mia said. They nodded and hugged her back. They learned their lesson. + +They decided to play with their wagon inside. They pretended it was a spaceship, or a castle, or a zoo. They had a lot of fun with their wagon. + +But they never went down the hill again. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. Anna had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look, I'm faster than you!" Anna said, making her car go ahead of Ben's. + +"No, you're not! I'm faster!" Ben said, trying to catch up with her. + +They were having fun, but they did not see that their dad had left a screw on the floor. It was shiny and pointy and hard. It was from his toolbox, where he kept his tools for fixing things. + +Anna's car ran over the screw and it popped her tire. Her car stopped and made a loud noise. Anna was sad and angry. She picked up her car and saw the screw stuck in the tire. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You put this screw here to make me lose!" Anna said, pointing at Ben. + +"I did not! I don't even know where it came from!" Ben said, looking surprised. + +"Yes, you did! You're a cheater and a liar!" Anna said, throwing her car at Ben. + +"Ow! That hurt! You're a meanie and a crybaby!" Ben said, throwing his car back at Anna. + +They started to fight and yell and throw things at each other. They were very stubborn and did not want to say sorry or share. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the screw and the broken cars. She was not happy. She was very upset. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing? Stop this right now!" she said, raising her voice. + +She took the screw and the cars and put them away. She made Anna and Ben sit on the couch and look at her. + +"You two should be ashamed of yourselves. You were playing nicely and then you ruined it. You broke your toys and hurt each other. You did not listen or talk or cooperate. You were very rude and selfish. You need to apologize and make up. Do you understand?" she said, looking serious. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and then at their mom. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they were wrong. They nodded and said in a small voice: + +"Yes, mom. We understand." + +They hugged each other and said: + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you lose." + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you." + +They smiled and said: + +"Can we play again?" + +Their mom smiled and said: + +"Yes, you can. But only if you promise to be nice and careful and respectful. And no more screws on the floor, okay?" + +They promised and said: + +"Okay, mom. Thank you." + +They took their cars and played again. They were careful and respectful. They had fun and shared. They were happy and excited. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Sam liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes.

She said they could fall and get hurt. + +Lily and Sam were sad. They wanted to have fun. They asked their mom to let them go on the ice. They said they would be careful. They said they would hold hands. They said they would not go far. + +Their mom thought for a while. She saw that the ice was thick and strong. She saw that there were no cracks or holes. She saw that Lily and Sam were good kids. She decided to let them go on the ice. But she said they had to wear their boots and coats. And she said she would watch them from the shore. + +Lily and Sam were happy. They thanked their mom and ran to the pond. They put on their boots and coats. They held hands and stepped on the ice.

He was staying with them for a week. He smoked a lot. He had a smelly ashtray on the table. Lily did not like Uncle Tom. He was mean and loud. + +"Give me my book, you little brat!" said Uncle Tom.

They hugged Lily and glared at Uncle Tom. + +Uncle Tom tried to explain. He said it was Lily's fault. He said she took his book without asking. He said she ripped his book. He said he was sorry.

He picks up a wire and tries to plug it into a lamp. But the plug does not fit. He tries another wire and another lamp. But none of them fit. + +"This is hard," Ben says. "I don't think we can make a network." + +Sara is persistent. She does not give up. She looks around and sees a radio. She finds a wire that fits the radio. She plugs it in and turns it on. + +"Look, Ben, I made the radio work!" Sara says. "Maybe we can find more things that work with the wires." + +Ben is happy.

He ran to the slide and looked under it. He saw Mia with a cardboard box and some wires. She was making a robot out of junk. + +"That's not a real robot, villain!" Ben said. "That's just a silly box. You can't raise it. You can't do anything!" + +Mia was angry. She pushed a button on the box. The box made a loud noise and shook. Mia smiled. + +"See, hero? My robot is alive.

They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. There were books, toys, clothes and a big trunk. Lila wanted to open the trunk and see what was inside.

I will punish you both," grandma said. + +She took the belt from Lila and put it back in the trunk. She locked the trunk with a key.

They push and pull, but nothing happens. + +"Maybe we need a key," Tom says. "Or a code." + +"Or a magic word," Anna says. + +They think of different words to say. They say "please", "open", "abracadabra", and "banana". But nothing happens. + +They are sad and tired. They sit on the grass and look at the box. + +"Maybe this game is too hard for us," Tom says. + +"Maybe we should play something else," Anna says. + +They get up and walk away from the box. They do not see the lid move a little. They do not hear a beep and a click. They do not see a light flash and a door open. They do not see a clown come out of the box and smile. + +"Hello, kids!" the clown says. "Do you want to start the game?" +Anna liked to go to the lab with her dad. He worked with big machines that made loud noises. Anna wore big headphones to protect her ears. She liked to watch the machines light up and beep. + +One day, her dad said, "Anna, do you want to see something cool?" He took her to a corner of the lab where there was a big glass box. Inside the box, there was a small robot. It looked like a dog, but it had wheels and wires. "This is Rover," her dad said. "He can do tricks. Watch this." He pressed a button on a remote control. + +The robot dog started to move. It rolled around the box, wagged its tail, and barked. Anna clapped her hands. She wanted to play with the robot dog. "Can I please touch him, dad?" she asked. + +Her dad smiled. "Sure, but be careful. He is very delicate. You have to be gentle with him." He opened the box and lifted the robot dog out. He handed it to Anna. Anna hugged the robot dog. It felt cold and hard, but it licked her face. Anna giggled. + +She put the robot dog on the floor and tried to make it do tricks. She pressed the buttons on the remote control, but nothing happened. She pressed harder and harder, but still nothing. She got frustrated and threw the remote control on the floor. It broke into pieces. The robot dog stopped moving. It made a loud beep and a puff of smoke. Anna gasped. She broke the robot dog. She looked at her dad. He looked angry and sad. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, dad. I didn't mean to break him. Please don't be mad at me." She said. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to share. They each wanted to own all the toys and not let the other one touch them. + +One day, they were playing in their room when they saw a big red truck on the shelf. They both wanted the truck, but it was too high for them to reach. They tried to climb on the bed, on the chair, on the books, but they could not get the truck. They started to cry and yell. + +"Give me the truck! It is mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Lily shouted back. + +They pulled and pushed each other, trying to get the truck. They made a lot of noise and mess. They did not see their mom coming into the room. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked in a loud voice. "Why are you fighting over a toy? You are in big trouble, both of you!" + +Ben and Lily stopped crying and looked at their mom. They felt scared and sorry. They knew they had been bad. + +"We are sorry, mom. We wanted the truck, but we could not get it. We got frustrated and angry," Ben said. + +"We did not mean to make a mess and a noise. We forgot to share and be nice," Lily said. + +Mom sighed and picked up the truck from the shelf. She gave it to Ben and Lily. + +"Look, this truck is not yours or mine. It is ours. We can share it and play with it together. Sharing is caring, and caring is fun. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They said thank you and sorry. They took the truck and played with it on the floor. They took turns and helped each other. They smiled and laughed. They were happy and not frustrated anymore. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with the blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a big castle with the blocks. They work hard and use many blocks. They are happy and proud of their castle. They show it to their teacher, Miss Lily. + +"Wow, what a wonderful castle!" Miss Lily says. "You are very creative and clever. I like how you used the black blocks to make the windows and the door. They look like real." + +"Thank you, Miss Lily!" Anna and Ben say. They smile and hug each other. + +Miss Lily encourages them to keep playing and learning. She says, "You can also use the black blocks to make other things. Do you want to try?" + +"Yes, we do!" Anna and Ben say. They are curious and excited. They wonder what else they can make with the black blocks. + +They start to look for the black blocks. They find some in the box. They also ask their friends to share some with them. They say, "Please, can we have some of your black blocks? We want to make something new." + +Their friends are kind and generous. They say, "Sure, you can have some of our black blocks. What are you going to make?" + +Anna and Ben say, "We don't know yet. We will see what we can do." + +They thank their friends and take the black blocks. They put them on the floor and start to think and try. They have fun and use their imagination. They make a train, a piano, a hat and a star with the black blocks. They show their new creations to Miss Lily and their friends. They are happy and proud again. They say, "Look what we made with the black blocks!" + +Miss Lily and their friends are amazed and impressed. They say, "Wow, you are amazing and talented. We like your black block creations. They are very cool and beautiful." + +Anna and Ben feel good and grateful. They say, "Thank you, Miss Lily and friends. You are very nice and supportive. You encourage us to play and learn more. We like playing with blocks. We like playing with you." +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many pretty flowers. Lily wanted to pick one for her mom. + +"Can we pick a flower, Max?" Lily asked. + +Max looked around. He saw a sign that said "Do not pick the flowers". He shook his head. + +"No, Lily. The sign says no. We will get in trouble," Max said. + +Lily was sad. She really liked the flowers. She saw one that was pink and yellow. It was the prettiest of all. + +"Please, Max. Just one. Mom will love it," Lily said. She whispered so no one would hear. + +Max looked at Lily. He saw her big eyes and her smile. He liked Lily. He wanted to make her happy. + +"Okay, Lily. Just one. But we have to be quick and quiet," Max said. He whispered too. + +They ran to the tree. Max reached for the flower. He broke a piece of the stem. He gave it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily. A flower for mom," Max said. + +Lily took the flower. She hugged Max. + +"Thank you, Max. You are the best," Lily said. + +They ran back to the garden. They hid the flower in Lily's pocket. They hoped no one would see. They were happy. They had a secret. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel has a big nut in its mouth. Lily and Tom want the nut. They run to the tree and shout at the squirrel. + +"Give us the nut, squirrel! We want the nut!" Lily and Tom say. + +The squirrel looks at them and shakes its head. It does not want to give them the nut. It thinks they are silly. It runs up the tree and jumps to another tree. Lily and Tom follow it. They try to catch the squirrel. + +"Come back, squirrel! We want the nut!" Lily and Tom say. + +But the squirrel is too fast and too smart. It runs and jumps from tree to tree. It laughs at Lily and Tom. It thinks they are silly. It eats the nut and throws the shell at them. + +"Ha ha, silly kids! You can't have the nut!" the squirrel says. + +Lily and Tom are sad and angry. They stop chasing the squirrel. They sit on the grass and cry. They still want the nut. + +A lady sees them and comes to them. She has a bag of cookies. She smiles at them and gives them each a cookie. + +"Don't cry, kids. Here, have a cookie. They are yummy and sweet. You don't need the nut." the lady says. + +Lily and Tom take the cookies and bite them. They are yummy and sweet. They smile at the lady and thank her. They forget about the nut. They don't want the nut anymore. They want the cookies. + +The squirrel sees them and feels sorry. It thinks they are not so silly. It comes down from the tree and gives them a wink. + +"Sorry, kids. I was hungry and greedy. You can have the nut next time. Enjoy the cookies." the squirrel says. + +Lily and Tom see the squirrel and laugh. They are not sad and angry anymore. They share a cookie with the squirrel. They are friends now. They think the squirrel is not so bad. They think the squirrel is silly and fun. +Lily and Max were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Lily had a lot of brown blocks, and Max had a lot of blue blocks. They shared their blocks and made a big city. + +But then, Max saw something shiny on the table. It was a chocolate bar that Mom had left for a surprise. Max wanted the chocolate bar very much. He forgot about the blocks and ran to the table. He grabbed the chocolate bar and opened it. He took a big bite and smiled. + +Lily saw what Max did and felt angry. She wanted some chocolate too. She followed Max and said, "Hey, that's not fair! You have to share the chocolate! Mom left it for both of us!" + +Max did not want to share. He said, "No, it's mine! I saw it first! Go away!" He turned his back to Lily and ate more chocolate. + +Lily felt very sad. She tried to take the chocolate from Max, but he pushed her away. She fell on the floor and cried. She looked at the blocks and saw that Max had knocked them down. The city was ruined. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily crying, Max eating chocolate, and the blocks scattered. She was not happy. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? And why did you eat the chocolate? That was a surprise for later!" + +Max felt guilty. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was greedy. I wanted the chocolate all for myself. I didn't share with Lily. And I broke the blocks." + +Mom said, "That was not nice, Max. You have to apologize to Lily and share the chocolate. And you have to help her rebuild the blocks. And you have to wipe your mouth. You have chocolate all over your face." + +Max said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Will you forgive me? Can we share the chocolate and play with the blocks again?" + +Lily said, "I forgive you, Max. But you have to be more kind. And you have to wipe your hands. You have chocolate all over your fingers." + +They hugged and said sorry. They shared the chocolate and played with the blocks. They rebuilt the city and had fun. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you. You learned to share and make up. And you still have a surprise. I have some ice cream in the freezer. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Max said, "Yes, please! Thank you, Mom! We love you!" + +They ate the ice cream and enjoyed the surprise. They were happy and friends again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play and have fun with her friends.

He was very strong and fast, and all the other animals were afraid of him. One day, while the leopard was walking in the jungle, he saw a little bird perched on a branch. The leopard thought to himself, "I am so powerful, I could easily strike that bird down and eat it." + +But the little bird looked up and said, "Please, Mr. Leopard, don't hurt me. I am just a small bird and I mean you no harm." The leopard paused and thought about what the bird said. He realized that being powerful didn't mean he had to use his strength to hurt others. + +From that day on, the leopard became friends with the little bird and protected him from any harm.

He thought the sunrise was magical. + +On the way down back home, they stopped and sat on a bush. Jack thought the countryside was very boring. But then, Jill remembered the promise they made. She said, "We made a promise to come back, so let's come back soon and watch the sunrise together again one day." + +Jack and Jill looked forward to coming back one day to watch the sunrise again. They smiled, grabbed hands, and ran home. +Once upon a time there was a young boy named Tim. He was three-years-old and loved to carry things. He carried his toys, he carried his blanket, he carried his stuffed animals. Nothing made him feel happier than carrying things. + +But one day, Tim ran out of things to carry. He looked and looked, but couldn't find anything more. When he was about to give up, he heard a rhythm that reminded him of music. + +He followed the rhythm and soon he saw an old man that was playing a guitar. Tim asked the old man if he could carry the guitar. The old man agreed and Tim happily went on his way, carrying his very own guitar! + +But because Tim was so young, he couldn't play the guitar. Thankfully, the old man was very mild and taught Tim how to play. Soon, Tim was playing the guitar like a pro! + +That's how Tim solved his carrying problem. Thanks to the old man and his mild teaching, Tim found something new to carry - joy and happiness! +Once upon a time there was a bear who was very angry. Every day, he would slap his paw against a big bone he kept in the forest. One day, a little rabbit hopped by and noticed how angry the bear was. The rabbit said to the bear, "Why are you so angry?" + +"I'm angry because I want to break this bone, but I can't," said the bear as he held the bone tightly. The rabbit couldn't understand why the bear would want to break the bone, so he asked, "Why do you want to break the bone?" + +The bear replied, "Because I'm sad. I miss my family and I want to break this bone so I can go back home and see them again." The little rabbit said, "I'm sure your family would be very happy to see you again. Maybe you can find a better way than breaking the bone." + +The bear thought about this and knew the rabbit was right. The next day, he slapped his paw against the bone and rather than breaking it, he was able to break the spell that was keeping him away from his family. The bear was so happy to be reunited with his family, and he never forgot the lesson he learned from his little rabbit friend: instead of being angry and trying to break things, he had the power to find better solutions. +Once upon a time there was a small rabbit. He was feeling very hungry, so he decided to look for something to eat. He started looking in all the places he knew. As he was poking around, he saw a deep berry bush. He got closer and peeked inside, and there were juicy red berries all over the bush! + +He was so excited, he hopped in and started to eat the sweet, juicy berries. He was having the best time! + +After he finished eating, he noticed something else deep in the bush. He peeked inside and realized that it was full of baby bunnies! He realized that he had been eating in their home and he felt very guilty. He gathered up the baby bunnies in his arms, and slowly backed out of the bush. + +The moral of this story is that before you take something, it is important to look around and think before you act. You never know what you might find! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was very frightened. She was frightened because she had just lost her favorite sweater. It was a blue sweater with white polka-dots on it. The little girl was so sad. She asked her mother, "Where is my sweater?" + +Her mother replied, "I don't know where your sweater is, honey. But now it's time for you to replace it." + +The little girl was unsure but she decided to go to the store and try to find a replacement. When she arrived, she saw a bright yellow sweater with a flower on it. The little girl was so excited and she put the new sweater on right away. + +As soon as she put the sweater on, she felt so much better; she wasn't scared anymore. She smiled proudly and held her head up high. She had replaced her favorite sweater, and she was happy. +Once upon a time there were two good friends - a silly bear and a noisy fox. They were very happy together, but one day a missile came flying in and ruined their fun. The missile mixed the ground into a harsh mess. + +The friends were very sad, but they did not know what to do. They looked all around but there was no way to fix it. They decided to go and ask their old friend, the wise owl. + +The owl thought for a while and then smiled. He said that they could mix some of the trees, grass and stones together to make a new ground. The bear and fox hopped and jumped with joy and started to mix the ground. + +Within no time, the ground was all back to normal. The bear and fox were so excited, and to celebrate the fox jumped and did a silly dance. The two friends were now even happier than before, and they knew that old owl had helped them a lot. +Once upon a time, there was an oak tree towering in the granite forest. The leaves were rustling in the wind. Suddenly, from the top of the gigantic oak tree, the cry of a small animal was heard. + +Two curious children, Lucy and Josh, leaned forward to find out what was wrong. + +"Why is that animal so loud?" Lucy exclaimed. + +"I don't know," Josh said as he leaned in even closer to listen. + +Just then a crazy squirrel came down the tower of branches. "Help! I'm stuck and I can't get down!" the squirrel cried. + +Josh stood up straight and smiled. "Don't worry, I've got a plan," he said. + +He grabbed a long branch and leaned it against the tower of branches so the squirrel could walk down, step by step. + +The squirrel slowly made its way down until it reached the ground. "Thank you!" it chirped. + +The two kids smiled. They were happy to have helped the crazy squirrel. Then, they ran off laughing, as Lucy shouted in delight, "That was fun!" +Once there was a little girl named Fiona. She loved to play in her garden with her toys. One day she was playing with a toy car and she noticed something was wrong with it. She shook it and could hear something loose inside. + +Fiona asked her mom what was wrong and her mom said, "It sounds like something is broken. We will have to try to fix it." + +Fiona asked, "Mommy, how can we fix it?" + +Her mom said, "We will need to take the car apart so we can find the broken part. Let's open it and see what is inside." + +Fiona's mom carefully opened the car and they found a little spring that had come off and needed to be fixed. Fiona said, "I can do it Mommy, I'm good at fixing things!" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you are very good at fixing things, let's give it a try!" + +Fiona carefully put the little spring back in place and closed the car. When she shook it, it made the same sound as before, but this time it sounded better. She did it! She had fixed the car! + +Fiona was so proud of her work and said to her mom, "I fixed it! I'm very good at fixing things!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you sure are! You did a great job, Fiona!" Fiona +Once there was a small bird named Sunshine. Her wings were bright yellow and she loved to sing. Every day she would fly around the countryside and sing a beautiful song. + +One day she saw a big, warm rug in the woods. She flew down and landed on it. She was so happy to sit on the rug and sing her song. + +Suddenly, a loud voice shouted from the bushes. "Stop singing or else!" Sunshine was scared and flew away, but she was not scared enough. She kept flying around the woods, looking for the rug. + +Eventually, Sunshine found the rug again and returned to it, singing her song. She shut her eyes and sang louder than ever. Suddenly, a big, rough hand grabbed her and locked her in a cage! Sunshine was so ashamed and scared. She stopped singing and never sang again. +Once upon a time, there lived a small family of three. +Mama, Papa and Little Susie. Little Susie was small, with bright, twinkling eyes and an always-smiling face. + +One day, the sky grew dark and it began to rain. The rain fell hard, and soon the ground was full of water. All of a sudden, there came a loud noise as water rushed in from far away. It was too much water and the family had to run away! + +The family held each other close, and ran. They ran until they reached a large mountain, and climbed to the very top. From there, they could see the water all the way around the mountain. It was a flood, so large that the family wept. + +Mama and Papa thought of a plan. They found a long, strong rope and tied one end around themselves and the other end around a tree. Little Susie was so scared. Mama put her on her back and Papa tied his end of the rope around his waist. Slowly and carefully, Papa led them down the mountain and through the flood. + +Safe and sound, the family was reunited at last. They smiled, hugged and celebrated! From that day forward, the family was never afraid of rain again. +Once there was a little boy named Mike who was very sleepy. He was on his way to his grandma's house and the sun was going down. As Mike was walking, he saw a pile of wood by the road. He got an idea! He decided to use the wood to make a big campfire. + +Mike thought it was a good idea to make a campfire. He grabbed the wood and started building it. He stacked the wood into a big pile. Then he lit the campfire with his matches. It made an orange glow that filled the sky. + +Mike relaxed and stared into the campfire. As he stared at the flames, he began to feel more and more sleepy. Soon his eyes closed, and Mike was fast asleep. The wood kept him warm, and he dreamed of all sorts of fun adventures. +Once upon a time, there were three little friends, Jack, Jill and Lill. They decided to go to the woods to play. As they were walking through the woods, they noticed a lot of smoke coming from a nearby tree. Jack thought it was boring to just watch the smoke, so he began to make an attempt to finish it. + +Jill and Lill warned Jack to not do such a selfish thing. They knew that the smoke belonged to someone else, and that it was not theirs to take. But despite their warnings, Jack didn't listen. He continued to finish the smoke. + +When Jack had finished the smoke, a big, nasty bear appeared from behind the tree! He was very mad about what Jack had done and chased him for a long time. Jill and Lill were so frightened, but eventually the bear stopped chasing them. + +Jack learned a valuable lesson that day, that it is never OK to be selfish and take something that doesn't belong to you. From that day onwards, Jack never tried to finish something that didn't belong to him. +Once upon a time, there was a young girl who was very polite and kind. She always said please and thank you to her friends and family. Every day, the girl would go out and explore the world around her. + +One day, the girl asked her mum if she could have a passport.

Let's go and have some ice cream to celebrate your new reading skills." + +Anna was glad and smiled from ear to ear.
