They had many cars, trains, and planes that they could zoom and crash. One day, they found a shiny thing in the yard. It was round and hard and had a hole in the middle. + +"What is this?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a coin," Sam said. + +They tried to bend it, but it did not move. They tried to bite it, but it did not break.

I need it for my project," the voice said. + +They turned around and saw their sister, Liz. She was older and smarter than them. She liked to make things with wires and batteries and lights. + +"Your copper thing? What is it for?" Sam asked. + +"It is for my mighty robot. It can move and talk and do tricks. The copper thing is part of its brain. It helps it think and learn," Liz said. + +She took the copper thing from Ben and put it in her pocket. + +"Can we see your mighty robot?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe later, when I finish it. Now, go and play with your own toys. And don't touch my things again," Liz said. + +She walked away, leaving Ben and Sam curious and disappointed.

She only wanted cake, cake, cake. + +One day, Lily saw a big cake on the table. It was for her brother's birthday. Lily wanted the cake for herself. She did not care about her brother.

Sometimes they raced their boats, and sometimes they explored the bubbles and the foam. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to have a competition. They wanted to see who could make their boat go faster and farther. They tied a string to each boat, and put an anchor at the end of the string. The anchor was a small metal ball that they found in their dad's toolbox. They thought the anchor would make their boat stay in one place, so they could pull it back and forth. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted, and they both pulled their strings as hard as they could. The boats zoomed across the water, making splashes and waves. Tom and Lily cheered and laughed, watching their boats go faster and faster. + +But then, something strange happened. Lily's boat suddenly stopped, and then it started to sink. Lily gasped and pulled her string, but it was too late. Her boat had vanished under the water. + +"Where did it go?" Lily cried, looking at the empty spot where her boat was. "What happened to my boat?" + +Tom looked at his boat, still floating on the water. He felt sorry for Lily, and he had an idea. He took his boat and his string, and gave them to Lily. + +"Here, you can have my boat," he said. "Maybe your boat will come back later. Maybe it went to find some fish or some treasure." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She took his boat and his string, and thanked him. She was happy that Tom was so kind and generous. She didn't care about the competition anymore. She just wanted to have fun with her brother. + +They played with the boat together, making up stories and adventures.

They felt the heat from the fire. They stopped shivering. They were cozy and happy. + +They looked at the fireplace. They saw the flames dancing and crackling. They saw the logs burning and glowing. They saw the smoke going up the chimney. They wondered what was on the other side of the chimney. + +They asked their mom, "What is up there, mom? Is it the sky? Is it the stars? Is it Santa?" Their mom smiled and said, "It is very high up there, my loves. It is the roof of our house. And beyond the roof, it is the sky. And beyond the sky, it is the stars. And maybe, just maybe, it is Santa." +Anna and Ben like to observe things. They observe birds, flowers, cars and people. They have a book with pictures of things they can observe. One day, they see a picture of a castle. A castle is a big house with towers and walls. They want to observe a castle. + +They ask their mom to take them to a castle. Mom says yes, and they go in the car. They drive for a long time, and then they see a castle on a hill. It is very big and old. They are happy and excited. + +They get out of the car and walk to the castle. They observe the big door, the big windows, the big flags and the big stones. They go inside the castle and observe the big rooms, the big stairs, the big paintings and the big furniture. They see people dressed like kings and queens and knights and princesses. They observe their clothes, their hats, their jewels and their swords. + +They have a lot of fun observing the castle. They learn new things and ask many questions. They thank their mom for taking them to the castle. They go back to the car and observe the castle one more time. They say goodbye to the castle and drive home. They tell their dad and their friends what they observed. They are happy and proud. +Tom is a boy who likes to work. He likes to help his mom and dad with things at home. He can work with his toys, his books, and his crayons. He can work with his hands, his feet, and his mouth. + +One day, Tom wants to work with his mom in the kitchen. He sees a big bowl of yellow fruit on the table. He asks his mom, "What is this?" + +His mom says, "This is a lemon. It is a fruit that is sour. Sour means it does not taste sweet. It makes your face look funny when you eat it." + +Tom is curious. He wants to try the lemon. He asks his mom, "Can I have a bite?" + +His mom says, "Sure, but be careful. It is very sour. You might not like it." + +Tom takes a bite of the lemon. He feels a sharp and bitter taste in his mouth. He makes a face like this: O_O. He does not like the lemon. He spits it out and says, "Yuck! This is not good. This is too sour. I do not want to work with this." + +His mom laughs and says, "I told you it was sour. Do you want to work with something else?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. Can I work with the cookies?" + +His mom says, "Of course. The cookies are sweet. Sweet means they taste good. They make you happy when you eat them." + +Tom smiles and says, "I like cookies. Cookies are good. I want to work with the cookies." + +His mom says, "OK, let's work with the cookies. You can help me put them on the tray and bake them in the oven. Then we can share them with dad and have a snack." + +Tom says, "Yay! That sounds fun. I like to work with you, mom. You are the best." + +His mom says, "I like to work with you, too, Tom. You are the best, too. And you know what? I love you very much." + +Tom says, "I love you, too, mom. And I love cookies. And I love my name. My name is Tom. Tom is a good name." + +His mom says, "Yes, it is. Tom is a good name for a good boy who likes to work." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and lights. They ran to the fountain and put their hands in the water. It was cold and wet. + +"Look, Sara, I can make a splash!" Ben said. He threw some water in the air and laughed. + +"Don't do that, Ben, you will get wet!" Sara said. She did not like to get wet. + +But Ben did not listen. He threw more water and got Sara wet too. Sara was angry. She shouted at Ben. + +"Ben, you are ignorant! You do not know how to play nice! You do not care about me!" Sara said. + +Ben was sad. He did not mean to make Sara angry. He just wanted to have fun. He said sorry to Sara. + +"Sara, I am sorry. I did not know you do not like to get wet. I do care about you. You are my friend. Can we play something else?" Ben said. + +Sara looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She said sorry to Ben. + +"Ben, I am sorry too. I should not have shouted at you. You are my friend too. Can we wash our hands and go to the swings?" Sara said. + +Ben nodded. He smiled. Sara smiled too. They washed their hands and ran to the swings. They played nice and had fun. They forgot about the fountain and the water. They were happy. +Sara likes to ride her bike. She has a pink bike with a bell and a basket.

She hurts her knee and cries. + +The woman hears Sara and stops. She comes back to help her. She gives Sara a band-aid and a hug. She tells Sara that she is a good rider, but she needs to be careful and practice. + +Sara smiles and thanks the woman. She asks the woman her name. The woman says her name is Mia. She says she is a bike teacher. She asks Sara if she wants to learn more tricks. + +Sara says yes. She is happy and excited. She rides with Mia to a park. There, Mia teaches Sara how to ride better and safer. Sara learns how to balance, steer, and brake. She also learns how to do a small jump and a wheelie. + +Sara has fun and makes a new friend. She likes to ride her bike with Mia. She thinks Mia is cool and brave, and so is she. +Tom and Anna were very tired after playing all day. They wanted to go to bed and have sweet dreams. But their room was very messy. There were toys, books, and clothes everywhere. + +"Mom, can we go to bed now?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, my loves. You have to clean your room first. Put everything in its place. Then you can go to bed," Mom said. + +Tom and Anna did not like to clean their room. They liked to play more. But they knew Mom was right. They had to be good and tidy. So they started to pick up their things and put them in the boxes, shelves, and drawers. + +Soon, their room was clean and neat. Mom came to check on them and smiled. + +"Good job, Tom and Anna. You worked hard and fast. Now you can go to bed. I will read you a story," Mom said. + +Tom and Anna were happy. They climbed on their bed and snuggled under the blanket. Their bed was soft and cozy. Their mattress was smooth and warm. They felt safe and loved. + +Mom read them a story about a brave knight and a beautiful princess. They listened with wonder and joy. Then Mom kissed them good night and turned off the light. + +Tom and Anna closed their eyes and settled into their bed. They fell asleep and had sweet dreams. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play near the sea. They had a boat and a net and they liked to catch fish. One day, they saw a big fish in the water. They wanted to have it for lunch. + +They threw their net over the fish and pulled it into their boat. The fish was heavy and shiny and had a long tail. Tom and Sam were very happy. They said, "This is the best fish ever! We will have a yummy lunch!" + +But when they opened the fish, they saw that it was not a fish at all. It was a lemon. A big, sour lemon. Tom and Sam were very sad. They said, "This is the worst lunch ever! We do not like sour lemons!" + +They threw the lemon back into the sea and went home. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything that looks good is good. They learned that they should be happy with what they have and not be greedy for more. They learned that the sea can be tricky and give them sour surprises. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They find some rocks for the eyes and a carrot for the nose. + +"Look, our snowman is so big and nice!" Tim says. + +"Yes, he is. But he needs something more," Sam says. He runs to the house and comes back with a shiny coin. "This is money. We can give it to him as a mouth. Then he can smile." + +Tim likes the idea. He makes a hole in the snowman's face and puts the coin in. The coin is bright and sparkles in the sun. + +"Wow, he looks happy now!" Tim says. + +They hug the snowman and laugh. They are happy too. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is their dad. He is angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my money? That is not a toy. That is for the store. Give it back to me right now!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They freeze. They do not know what to say. + +The snowman does not say anything either. He just smiles with his money mouth. +Lily and Max liked to play in the backyard after dinner. They had a tent, a flashlight and some toys. They pretended they were camping in the woods. One night, it started to rain. Lily and Max ran inside the tent. They turned on the flashlight and made funny faces. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big, hairy dog. The dog was wet and hungry. It smelled the food in the tent. It ran towards the tent and tried to get in. Lily and Max were scared. They screamed for help. + +Mom and Dad heard them and came outside. They saw the dog and the tent. They grabbed a broom and a hose. They shooed the dog away with the broom. They sprayed the dog with the hose. The dog was soaked and ran away. + +Lily and Max were safe and happy. Mom and Dad hugged them and took them inside. They dried them off and gave them hot cocoa. They said they were brave and smart.

The shark liked to joke and make the fish laugh too. + +But one day, the fish made a bad joke. He said to the shark, "You are so big and slow, you can never catch me!" Then he swam away very fast. The shark felt sad and angry. He said to himself, "That was not a nice joke. That was a mean joke. I will show him who is fast and who is slow." + +The shark chased the fish and tried to bite him. The fish was scared and sorry. He said to the shark, "Please don't hurt me! I was only joking! I didn't mean to make you sad and angry!" But the shark did not listen. He wanted to teach the fish a lesson. + +The fish swam and swam, but the shark was faster. He was about to catch the fish, when he saw something shiny and round. He thought it was a big and tasty fish. He opened his mouth and bit it. But it was not a fish. It was a lemon. The lemon was sour and bitter. It made the shark spit and cough. He said, "Yuck! What is this? This is not a fish. This is a lemon. This is the worst thing I ever tasted!" + +The fish saw what happened and felt sorry for the shark. He said to the shark, "Are you okay? I'm sorry I made a bad joke. I didn't know you would chase me and bite a lemon. That must have hurt a lot." The shark said to the fish, "I'm okay. I'm sorry I chased you and tried to bite you. That was not a nice thing to do. You are my friend. I don't want to lose you." The fish and the shark hugged and said sorry to each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to joke only in a nice way, and not in a mean way. They swam and played in the sea again, and were happy. +Anna and Ben like to help Mom bake cakes. They put eggs, flour, sugar and butter in a big bowl. Then they use a mixer to make the batter smooth and yummy. Mom says they can lick the spoon when they are done. + +But today, Mom is very busy. She has to work on her laptop and talk on the phone. She tells Anna and Ben to wait until she is finished. Anna and Ben are sad. They want to bake the cake now. They look at the mixer on the counter. It looks fun and shiny. + +Anna has an idea. She whispers to Ben, "Let's use the mixer by ourselves. Mom won't mind." Ben nods. He likes Anna's idea. They climb on a chair and reach for the mixer. They plug it in and turn it on. + +But they forget to hold the bowl. The mixer is very strong. It makes the batter fly everywhere. It splashes on the walls, the floor, the ceiling and the laptop. Mom hears the noise and runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess and gasps. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" she says. She is angry and shocked. She turns off the mixer and unplugs it. She grabs a towel and wipes the laptop. She hopes it is not broken. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They know they did something bad. They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean the kitchen. They promise to never touch the mixer again without her. + +Mom is still busy, but she is not angry anymore. She hugs Anna and Ben and says she loves them. She says they can bake the cake later, when she is done with her work. She says they can still lick the spoon. Anna and Ben are happy. They love Mom too. They wait patiently for the cake. They hope it will be delicious. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play near the water. One day, they saw a big boat on the shore. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. They did not tell their mom or dad where they were going. + +They ran to the boat and climbed up a rope. They found a lot of things in the boat. There were ropes, nets, boxes, and cans. They opened some of the cans and saw fish inside. They thought it was silly to keep fish in cans. They threw some of the cans out of the boat and into the water. + +They did not know that the boat belonged to a mean man who was fishing for a living. He was not happy when he saw his cans in the water. He shouted at Tim and Kim and told them to get off his boat. He was very angry and grabbed a big stick. + +Tim and Kim were scared and tried to run away. But they did not manage to get to the rope in time. The mean man hit them with the stick and made them fall into the water. They did not know how to swim and they sank to the bottom. They never saw their mom or dad again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Anna saw a big knife on the counter. She wanted to use it to cut a tomato. + +"Look, Ben, a knife!" she said. "Let's cut this tomato." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Anna, that's not a toy. That's a sharp knife. It can hurt you. Mommy said we can't touch it." + +But Anna did not listen. She was deaf. She could not hear what Ben said. She reached for the knife. + +Ben was scared. He ran to the living room to get Mommy. He hoped he was not too late. + +"Mommy, Mommy, come quick!" he said. "Anna has a knife!" + +Mommy was on the phone. She did not hear Ben at first. She was talking to Grandma. She wanted to delay her visit because of the rain. + +"What is it, Ben?" she asked. "Can you wait a minute?" + +"No, Mommy, you have to come now!" Ben said. "Anna has a knife in the kitchen!" + +Mommy heard the word knife. She dropped the phone and ran to the kitchen. She saw Anna holding the knife and the tomato. She was about to cut it. + +"Anna, no!" Mommy shouted. She grabbed the knife from Anna's hand. She hugged her and checked her for cuts. She was glad she was not hurt. + +"Anna, you can't play with knives. They are very dangerous. You could have cut yourself or Ben. You have to listen to Mommy and Ben. They love you and want you to be safe." + +Anna looked at Mommy. She saw her mouth move. She did not hear her words. She felt her hug. She knew she was angry and sorry. She nodded and hugged her back. + +Mommy put the knife away. She took Anna and Ben to the couch. She gave them some cookies and milk. She told them a story with pictures and signs. She told them she loved them very much. She told them to never touch knives again. They promised. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they decided to play a game of follow the leader. Sara said, "I will be the leader and you have to do what I do. If you don't, you lose." + +Tom agreed and followed Sara around the house. Sara did many things, like jumping, clapping, and spinning. Tom did them too, but he was getting tired and bored. He wanted to be the leader too. He said, "Sara, can I be the leader now?" + +Sara said, "No, I am the leader and you have to follow me. It's my turn." She ran to the living room and picked up a cushion from the sofa. She said, "Now, you have to throw the cushion as far as you can." + +Tom did not like this game. He did not want to throw the cushion. He said, "Sara, that's not a good game. You might break something or hurt someone. Let's play something else." + +Sara said, "No, you have to do what I say. It's the rule. Throw the cushion or you lose." She threw the cushion across the room and it landed on the floor. She said, "See, I did it. Now, you do it." + +Tom was angry and sad. He did not want to lose, but he did not want to play this game either. He picked up the cushion and threw it as hard as he could. But he did not aim well. The cushion flew in the air and hit the window. The window broke and the glass shattered. Sara and Tom heard a loud noise and saw the mess. They were scared and shocked. + +Their mom heard the noise too and came to the living room. She saw the broken window, the glass, and the cushion. She was very angry and upset. She said, "What have you done? How could you be so careless and reckless? You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. You are in big trouble, both of you." + +Sara and Tom felt very sorry and guilty. They knew they had done a bad thing. They wished they had not played that game. They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They learned a hard lesson that day. They had to clean up the mess, pay for the window, and say sorry to their mom. They also had to hug each other and promise to be more careful and kind. They realized that being competitive was not always fun. Sometimes, it was better to share and cooperate. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks and geese. Lily liked the geese. She wanted to touch them. She ran to the pond and tried to poke a goose with her finger. + +"Quack! Quack!" The goose was angry. It bit Lily's finger. Lily cried. "Ow! Ow! It hurts!" + +Ben ran to Lily and hugged her. He saw her finger was bleeding. He took a tissue from his pocket and wrapped it around her finger. He said, "Lily, you should not poke the geese. They are wild animals. They do not like to be poked. They can hurt you." + +Lily nodded. She was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted to touch the goose. It looked so soft and white. But it was dirty and mean. I will not poke the geese again." + +Ben smiled. He said, "That's good, Lily. Next time, we can watch the geese from far away. We can feed them some bread. They will like that. And we will be safe and happy." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, Ben. That sounds fun. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +They held hands and walked back to their mom. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect the animals and not to poke them. They learned to be kind and helpful to each other.

Thank you for being my friends. You are very kind and fun." + +Lily and Ben hugged Frosty. They were very sad. They did not want to lose him. + +"Goodbye, Frosty," they said. "We will always remember you. You are the best snowman ever." + +Frosty smiled. He was proud of Lily and Ben. They were very brave and sweet. + +"Goodbye, Lily and Ben," he said. "You are the best friends ever. I hope you have a happy march." + +Then he melted away. Lily and Ben cried. They missed Frosty. But they also smiled. They had a happy memory of him. They knew he was happy too. They decided to make another snowman next winter. And they hoped to see Frosty again. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Lily went first and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "That was fun! Come on, Ben!" + +Ben was a little scared, but he wanted to be brave like Lily. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. But he did not hold on tight and he slipped off. He fell on the ground and hurt his knee. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Lily ran to him and saw blood on his knee. She felt sorry for him and said, "Don't cry, Ben. I'll get you a bandage." She ran to the bench where their mom was sitting and asked for a bandage. Mom gave her one and said, "What happened, Lily?" + +Lily told her what happened and said, "It was my fault. I made Ben go on the slide. I should have been more careful." Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You realized your mistake and you tried to help Ben. That's very kind of you. But next time, be more gentle and don't push him to do things he doesn't want to do." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'll be more gentle." She took the bandage and ran back to Ben. She put the bandage on his knee and said, "There, Ben. Does it feel better?" Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You're a good sister." He smiled and said, "Can we play something else now?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. How about the swings?" Ben liked the swings and said, "Yes, let's go!" They held hands and walked to the swings. They had fun and learned to be more careful and gentle with each other. + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and gentle with others, and admit your mistakes. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky and heard loud noises. Their mom told them to come inside because there was a storm. + +"But we want to play!" Tom and Sue said. They did not listen to their mom and ran to the park. They thought the storm was fun and not scary. + +Soon, they saw bright flashes in the sky. They were lightning. Lightning was very hot and dangerous. It could hurt people and things. Tom and Sue did not know that. They thought lightning was pretty and rare. They wanted to see it closer. + +They climbed on a big metal slide. They hoped to touch the lightning. Their mom saw them and shouted, "Tom! Sue! Get down from there! Lightning can hit the slide and you! Come inside now!" + +Tom and Sue did not listen to their mom. They laughed and stayed on the slide. They did not care about the storm or their mom. + +Then, a big lightning bolt hit the slide. It made a loud bang and a bright flash. Tom and Sue felt a shock. They screamed and fell off the slide. They were hurt and scared. + +Their mom ran to them and hugged them. She was glad they were alive. She took them inside and gave them medicine and bandages. She was also angry and sad. She said, "Tom and Sue, you were very naughty and foolish. You did not listen to me and you put yourselves in danger. You could have died. You are punished. You cannot play outside for a week. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Sue cried and said sorry. They realized they were wrong and they hurt their mom. They learned to obey their mom and to respect the storm. They never played with lightning again. +One day, a rabbit was hopping in the forest. He was very happy and careless. He did not look where he was going. He only wanted to have fun. + +He saw a big rock on the ground. He thought it was a good place to jump. He ran to the rock and jumped on it. But the rock was not still. It was loose. It moved when the rabbit jumped on it. + +The rock rolled down the hill with the rabbit on it. The rabbit was scared. He tried to get off the rock, but he could not. He held on to the rock and cried for help. + +A squirrel heard the rabbit's cry. He ran to the hill and saw the rock and the rabbit. He was brave and smart. He found a stick and pushed it under the rock. He stopped the rock from rolling. + +The rabbit was safe. He got off the rock and thanked the squirrel. He was sorry for being careless. He learned to be careful and look where he was going. He and the squirrel became friends. They played in the forest together. +Tom and Mia are playing in the yard. They see a big pile of leaves. Tom wants to jump in the pile. Mia says no. + +"Why not?" Tom asks. + +"Because it is not smooth," Mia says. "It has sticks and bugs and dirt. It can hurt you." + +Tom does not believe her. He runs to the pile and jumps in. He feels something sharp on his leg. He cries out. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom says. "What is this?" + +Mia runs to him and helps him out. She sees a rake in the pile. The rake has metal teeth that can scratch. + +"See? I told you," Mia says. "This is a rake. It is for making the leaves smooth. But someone left it here. It is not for playing." + +Tom feels sorry. He has a red mark on his leg. It stings. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom says. "You were right. The pile is not smooth. It is bad." + +Mia hugs him. She is a good friend. + +"It's okay, Tom," Mia says. "Let's go inside and get a band-aid. Then we can play with something else. I recommend the blocks. They are smooth and fun." +Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a bird's nest on a tree. The nest had four blue eggs. + +"Look, eggs!" Lily said. "Can we take them?" + +"No, Lily, that's bad," Tom said. "The eggs belong to the bird. She will be sad if we take them." + +"But I want to see the eggs," Lily said. "Maybe they have baby birds inside." + +Lily reached for the nest. Tom tried to stop her. But Lily was too fast. She grabbed one egg and ran away. + +Tom followed her. He was angry and scared. He knew the egg was fragile. He knew the bird would miss it. + +Lily ran to the house. She wanted to show the egg to Mom. But she did not see the rock on the ground. She tripped and fell. The egg slipped from her hand and broke. + +Lily cried. She saw the egg was empty. There was no baby bird inside. She felt sorry for the bird. She felt sorry for herself. + +Tom came to her. He saw the broken egg. He felt sorry for Lily. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. We all make mistakes. But we have to remember to be kind to animals. They have feelings too." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, bird. I won't take eggs again. I will be kind to animals." + +Tom smiled. He said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's go back to the garden. Maybe we can see the bird and her eggs." + +Lily and Tom went back to the garden. They saw the bird on the tree. She was singing happily. She had three eggs left. Lily and Tom waved to her. They felt happy too. They learned to be kind to animals. +One day, Sam and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and monkeys. But their favorite was the big gorilla. He was brown and hairy, and he had a funny face. He liked to play with a ball and make noises. + +"Can we play with him, mom?" Sam asked. + +"No, sweetie, he is not a pet. He lives in the zoo, and we can only watch him from here," mom said. + +Sam and Lily nodded, but they still wanted to be friends with the gorilla. They waved at him and threw him some peanuts. The gorilla smiled and ate them. + +But then, a mean boy came and took the ball from the gorilla. He threw it over the fence, where the gorilla could not reach it. The gorilla was sad and angry. He roared and banged on the glass. + +"Hey, stop that! That's not nice!" Lily shouted at the boy. + +The boy stuck out his tongue and ran away. Sam and Lily felt sorry for the gorilla. They wanted to help him get his ball back. + +"Mom, can we go get the ball for the gorilla?" Sam asked. + +Mom looked at the ball. It was in a dry patch of dirt, near a big hole. She thought it was too dangerous for the kids to go there. + +"No, honey, it's too far and too dirty. And there might be snakes or bugs in the hole. We should leave the ball there and go see other animals," mom said. + +Sam and Lily were sad, but they listened to mom. They said goodbye to the gorilla and went to see the penguins. They hoped the gorilla would get his ball back somehow. + +But they did not know that the hole was not just a hole. It was a trap. The mean boy had dug it and covered it with leaves and sticks. He wanted to catch the gorilla and bury him in the dirt. He was a bad boy who hated animals. + +He waited until the zoo was closed and no one was around. Then he sneaked back to the fence and climbed over it. He had a shovel and a rope. He planned to lure the gorilla to the hole and push him in. Then he would shovel dirt over him and run away. + +He whistled and waved the rope at the gorilla. The gorilla was curious and lonely. He thought the boy wanted to play with him. He followed the boy to the hole. + +But the boy was not nice. He kicked the ball into the hole and pushed the gorilla after it. The gorilla fell into the hole and got stuck. He was scared and hurt. He cried and tried to climb out. + +The boy laughed and grabbed the shovel. He started to bury the gorilla in the dirt. He was mean and cruel. + +But he did not see that Sam and Lily were still there. They had sneaked back to the zoo after mom went to the car. They wanted to see the gorilla one more time. They saw what the boy was doing and they were shocked and angry. + +They ran to the hole and shouted at the boy. + +"Stop it! Stop it! You're hurting the gorilla! He's our friend!" Sam yelled. + +"Go away! He's mine! I'm going to bury him and make him disappear!" the boy yelled back. + +He swung the shovel at Sam and Lily. They dodged and kicked the shovel out of his hands. They grabbed the rope and pulled the gorilla out of the hole. The gorilla was happy and grateful. He hugged Sam and Lily and licked their faces. + +The boy was mad and scared. He tried to run away, but he tripped and fell into the hole. He was buried in the dirt and leaves. He screamed and cried. + +Sam and Lily ran to the fence and called for help. They told mom and the zookeepers what happened. They saved the gorilla and caught the boy. The gorilla got his ball back and a new home. The boy got in big trouble and had to say sorry. + +Sam and Lily were heroes. They became friends with the gorilla and visited him often. They learned to be kind and brave.

It is brown and has many holes. Anna wonders what it is. + +She goes closer and sees little bugs flying in and out of the holes. They are yellow and black and have wings. They make a loud buzzing sound. Anna thinks they are pretty and wants to touch them. She reaches out her hand. + +But the bugs do not like that. They feel angry and scared. They think Anna wants to hurt their home. Their home is called a hive. They make honey in the hive. They work very hard to make honey. They do not want anyone to take their honey. + +They fly out of the hive and sting Anna. They sting her hand and her arm and her face. It hurts a lot. Anna cries and runs away. Max follows her and barks. He tries to help her. + +Anna's mom hears her cry and comes out. She sees the bugs and the hive and the stings. She feels sorry and worried. She takes Anna inside and puts ice and cream on the stings. She hugs Anna and tells her it will be okay. + +She also tells her that the bugs are called bees. They are not bad, but they are not friendly. They do not like to be touched or bothered. They are very flexible. They can bend and twist and fly fast. They are good for the garden. They help the flowers grow. But they need to be left alone. + +Anna learns her lesson. She says sorry to the bees and the hive. She does not go near them again. She plays with Max and the ball. She is happy and careful. +Lily liked to chew her food very loud. She made big noises with her mouth when she ate. She thought it was fun to chew loud. Her mom and dad did not like it. They told her to chew quiet. They said it was rude to chew loud. But Lily did not listen. She kept chewing loud. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide. She wanted to go on the slide. She ran to the slide. But there was a boy on the slide. He was bigger than Lily. He did not want to share the slide. He said a bad word to Lily. He said, "Go away, you loud chewer!" Lily felt sad. She did not like the bad word. She wanted to go on the slide. + +Lily ran back to her mom. She told her what the boy said. Her mom hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a very rude word. He should not have said that to you. But maybe he said that because he heard you chew loud. Maybe he did not like the noise. Maybe you should try to chew quiet. Then people will not say rude words to you." + +Lily thought about what her mom said. She remembered how her mom and dad told her to chew quiet. She realized they were right. She decided to chew quiet from now on. She said, "OK, mom. I will chew quiet. I do not want to hear rude words. I want to make friends." + +Lily and her mom went to the slide again. The boy was still there. He saw Lily. He said, "You again? Go away, you loud chewer!" But Lily did not chew loud. She chewed quiet. She smiled at the boy. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Can I play with you?" The boy was surprised. He did not hear any noise from Lily. He felt sorry for saying the rude word. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I'm sorry for being mean. You can play with me." Lily and Ben played on the slide. They had fun. They became friends. Lily was happy. She learned to chew quiet. She learned to be polite. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the birdcage. The birdcage is big and shiny, and it has a door that can open and close. Inside the birdcage, they put their stuffed animals, like the bear, the cat, and the rabbit. + +One day, they find a new toy in the garden. It is a fat ball that is red and blue. It looks very fun to play with. Tom picks up the ball and throws it to Sue. Sue catches it and throws it back. They laugh and have a good time. + +But then, the ball flies too high and lands on top of the birdcage. The birdcage shakes and the door opens. The stuffed animals fall out and roll on the grass. Tom and Sue are sad. They love their stuffed animals and they do not want to lose them. + +They run to the birdcage and try to get the ball off. But the ball is too fat and heavy. They cannot reach it. They try to push the birdcage, but it is too big and heavy. They cannot move it. + +They do not know what to do. They look at each other and start to cry. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +Their mom hears them and comes to the garden. She sees the ball on the birdcage and the stuffed animals on the grass. She understands what happened and smiles. + +"Don't worry, Tom and Sue. I can help you," she says. + +She lifts the ball off the birdcage and puts it on the ground. She picks up the stuffed animals and puts them back in the birdcage. She closes the door and locks it. + +"There you go. Your toys are safe and sound," she says. + +Tom and Sue stop crying and hug their mom. They thank her and hug their stuffed animals. They are happy again. + +They look at the ball and decide to play with it somewhere else. They do not want to hurt their birdcage again. + +They take the ball and run to the other side of the garden. They throw it and catch it and laugh and have a good time. +Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. Sometimes they go to the creek. The creek is a small river with rocks and fish. They like to watch the water and the animals. + +One day, they notice something new in the creek. It is a big, shiny thing. It looks like a bowl, but it is not a bowl. It is a helmet. Ben and Lily wonder who left it there. They want to touch it and see what it is. + +"Can we take it home?" Ben asks Lily. + +"No, we can't. It is not ours. Maybe someone needs it," Lily says. + +"But it is so pretty. Maybe it is a treasure. Maybe it is magic," Ben says. + +They go closer to the helmet. They see that it has a star on it. They think it is a star from the sky. They are curious and excited. + +They reach for the helmet. But then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids, that's mine!" + +They turn around and see a man. He is wearing a green suit and boots. He has a big backpack and a walkie-talkie. He looks like a soldier. + +He walks to the creek and picks up the helmet. He puts it on his head. He smiles at Ben and Lily. + +"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was hiding here for a game. I am a soldier. This is my helmet. It helps me stay safe," he says. + +Ben and Lily are surprised. They did not know there was a game. They did not know he was a soldier. + +"Wow, you are a soldier? That is cool. What is your game?" Ben asks. + +"It is called capture the flag. We have two teams. We try to get the other team's flag without being seen. It is fun and hard. We have to be smart and fast," he says. + +"That sounds fun. Can we play too?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe when you are older. It is not a game for little kids. It can be dangerous. You have to be careful," he says. + +He looks at his walkie-talkie. He hears a beep. + +"Oops, I have to go. My team needs me. Thanks for finding my helmet. You are good kids. Be good and stay safe," he says. + +He waves at Ben and Lily. He runs away to join his game. + +Ben and Lily wave back. They watch him go. They think he is brave and strong. They are proud of him. They are proud of themselves. + +They go back to the park. They tell their friends about the soldier and the helmet. They have a new story to share. They have a new friend to remember. +Lila and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to build structures with different shapes and colors. They made towers, bridges, houses, and castles. Sometimes they shared their blocks, and sometimes they wanted their own. + +One day, Lila saw a new block in Tom's pile. It was shiny and had a star on it. She wanted it very much. She asked Tom, "Can I have that block, please?" + +Tom said, "No, this is my block. I got it from my grandma. It is not cheap. It is special." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. You have so many blocks. You should share with me. Give me that block, or I will knock down your structure." + +Tom felt scared and mad. He said, "No, this is my structure. I worked hard to build it. You are mean. Go away, or I will throw this block at you." + +They started to yell and fight. They pushed and pulled and threw blocks at each other. Their structures fell down and broke. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila and Tom crying and fighting. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a block?" + +Lila and Tom told Mom what happened. They both wanted the shiny block. They both wanted their own structures. They both felt hurt and angry. + +Mom said, "I understand. But fighting is not the way to solve your problem. You need to talk and listen and accept each other. You need to respect each other's blocks and structures. You need to share and take turns and say sorry. Can you do that?" + +Lila and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said, "Yes, Mom. We can do that." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They gave each other a block. They helped each other rebuild their structures. They played nicely and happily. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good. I am proud of you. You are good friends. You learned a good lesson today." +Sam was sick. He had a hot head and a sore throat.

They try to hide behind the shield. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouts. "We are knights and dragons. You can't hurt us!" + +But the dog does not listen. It bites the shield and pulls it away. It sees Jill and Tom. It jumps on them and bites them. They cry and scream. + +Mom hears them and runs to the yard. She sees the dog and the fort and the purple dress and the iron helmet. She is angry and sad. She chases the dog away. She hugs Jill and Tom. They are hurt and bleeding. + +"Who let this dog in?" Mom asks. "This is a bad dog. It should not be here." + +Jill and Tom do not know. They are sorry and scared. They wish they did not play in the yard. They wish they did not gather rocks and sticks.

What can I get you?" + +Lena said, "I want a big pizza with cheese and ham and pineapple. And a bottle of juice. And a cookie. For my brother. He is sick." + +The voice said, "OK, that will be $15. What is your address?" + +Lena said, "I don't know. It is a big house with a red door and a tree. Can you find it?" + +The voice said, "I'm sorry, I need a street name and a number. Do you have a parent or a guardian who can help you?" + +Lena said, "No, they are not here. They went to the store. Please hurry, my brother is hungry." + +The voice said, "I'm sorry, I can't deliver to you without an address. Can you call back when your parents are home?" + +Lena said, "No, please, please, please. My brother needs the pizza. He is very sick. He is coughing and sneezing and shivering. He is wearing a bathrobe, but he is still cold. Please, please, please." + +The voice said, "I'm sorry, I have to hang up now. Goodbye." + +Lena was sad and angry. She threw the phone on the floor and ran to her brother's room. She saw him lying in bed, wrapped in a bathrobe. He looked pale and tired. He opened his eyes and smiled weakly. + +He said, "Hi, Lena. Did you order the pizza?" + +Lena said, "No, I couldn't. They wouldn't come. They said they needed an address. I don't know the address. I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry." + +Tom said, "It's OK, Lena. You tried. You are a good sister. I love you." + +Lena said, "I love you too, Tom. I wish I could help you. I wish I could make you better." + +Tom said, "You are helping me. You are making me happy. Just stay with me. Hold my hand." + +Lena said, "OK, Tom. I will stay with you. I will hold your hand." + +They hugged each other and closed their eyes. They didn't hear the sirens outside. They didn't hear the doorbell ringing. They didn't hear the paramedics rushing in. They didn't hear the words, "It's too late. They are gone." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with symbols. Symbols are things that look like other things. For example, a star symbol looks like a star in the sky, but it is smaller and yellow. + +One day, Ben and Mia find a new symbol. It is round and red and has a green leaf on top. They do not know what it is. + +"Look, Mia, what is this symbol?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. It is pretty. Maybe it is a flower?" Mia says. + +They touch the symbol. It is soft and smooth. They smell the symbol. It is sweet and fresh. + +"Can we eat the symbol?" Ben wonders. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad first," Mia says. + +They run to find Mom or Dad. They see Dad in the kitchen. He is chubby and kind. He likes to cook and speak with them. + +"Dad, Dad, look what we found!" Ben and Mia say. + +They show Dad the symbol. + +"Oh, that is an apple. It is a fruit. You can eat it. It is good for you," Dad says. + +He takes a knife and cuts the symbol in half. He gives one half to Ben and one half to Mia. + +"Thank you, Dad.

Come here, I will help you." + +She took him to the bathroom and washed his knee with water. Then she got a bandage from the cabinet and put it on his knee.

His mom listened and praised him for his adventure. They were happy and cozy. +Tom and Lily went to the stadium with their dad. They liked to watch the big people play with the ball. Sometimes they kicked the ball, sometimes they threw the ball, sometimes they ran with the ball. The big people wore different colors. Some wore red, some wore blue, some wore green. + +Tom and Lily cheered for the red team, because their dad liked the red team. They shouted, "Go, red, go!" They clapped their hands.

They pretended to be kangaroos. They laughed. They had more fun. +Lily was a fairy who liked to help the flowers grow. She had a staff that was very delicate. It was made of a thin stick and a shiny stone. She used her staff to make magic water for the flowers. + +One day, she saw a big bird near her staff. The bird was hungry and wanted to eat the shiny stone. Lily was scared and hid behind a leaf. She hoped the bird would go away. + +But the bird did not go away. It pecked at the staff and tried to pull the stone. The staff started to break. Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to save her staff. + +She came out of the leaf and stood in front of the bird. She shouted, "Stop! That is my staff! You cannot have it!" The bird was surprised and looked at Lily. Lily looked brave and strong. + +The bird was not so hungry anymore. It saw that Lily loved her staff very much. It felt sorry for Lily. It let go of the staff and flew away. Lily was happy and relieved. She hugged her staff and thanked the bird. She went back to her flowers and watered them with her magic water. The flowers smiled and thanked Lily too. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. + +One day, they decide to make a fort with their pillows and blankets. They pile up the pillows on the bed and cover them with the blankets. They crawl inside and pretend they are in a cave. + +"Wow, this is a deep cave!" Tom says. "We can hide from the bears and the dragons here." + +Mia nods. "Yes, and we can also have a picnic. I brought some cookies and juice." She takes out a small bag from under a pillow and opens it. + +They eat and drink and tell stories. They are having fun. + +But then, they hear a noise. It sounds like a growl. They look at each other and feel scared. + +"What is that?" Mia whispers. + +Tom peeks out from the blanket. He notices something big and furry at the door. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is a bear! + +"Help!" Tom shouts. "There is a bear in our room!" + +Mia screams. She grabs a pillow and throws it at the bear. The bear dodges the pillow and roars. + +The twins are very afraid. They hug each other and close their eyes. + +But then, they hear another noise. It sounds like a laugh. They open their eyes and see their dad. He is wearing a bear costume and holding a pillow. + +"Gotcha!" he says. "It's me, your dad. I was just playing a prank on you." + +The twins are surprised. They feel angry and relieved at the same time. + +"Dad, that's not funny!" Tom says. "You scared us!" + +"Yeah, dad, that's mean!" Mia says. "You made us think there was a real bear!" + +Their dad takes off the bear costume and apologizes. He hugs them and says he loves them. He says he was just trying to make them laugh. + +The twins forgive him. They laugh and say they love him too. They invite him to join their fort and share their cookies and juice. + +They all cuddle on the bed and enjoy their fort. They forget about the bear and the prank. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Ben found a big beetle under a leaf. He picked it up and showed it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, a beetle! It is shiny and black. Do you want to hold it?" Ben asked. + +Mia was scared of the beetle. She did not like its legs and horns. She shook her head and backed away. + +"No, Ben, I don't want to hold it. It is ugly and scary. Put it down, please!" Mia said. + +Ben was sad and angry. He liked the beetle. He thought it was cool and pretty. He wanted to share it with Mia. He did not understand why she was scared. + +"Why are you scared, Mia? It is just a beetle. It will not hurt you. It is my friend. You are mean and silly!" Ben said. + +He threw the beetle at Mia. Mia screamed and ran away. The beetle landed on the ground and crawled away. Ben and Mia both started to cry. They were not happy. + +Mom heard them cry and came to the garden. She saw Ben and Mia crying and the beetle crawling. She understood what happened. She hugged them and talked to them. + +"Ben, Mia, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Mia told Mom what happened. They both said sorry to each other and to the beetle. Mom said it was okay to like different things, but not okay to throw things or run away. She said they should be kind and respectful to each other and to the bugs. She said there were many other bugs and flowers available to play with in the garden. She asked them if they wanted to look for them together. + +Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They said yes and thank you to Mom. They wiped their tears and held hands. They went to look for more bugs and flowers. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend they were on a big carpet that could fly. They put pillows and blankets on the floor and made noises like a plane. + +"Where are we going today?" Lily asked Ben. + +"We are going to deliver a present to Grandma. She lives in a distant place, far away from here," Ben said. + +They flew over mountains and rivers, and saw many animals and flowers. They waved to the birds and the clouds. They had fun on their carpet. + +Soon, they saw a house with a garden. It was Grandma's house. They landed their carpet on the grass and ran to the door. They knocked and waited. + +"Who is it?" Grandma's voice came from inside. + +"It's us, Lily and Ben. We have a present for you," they said. + +Grandma opened the door and smiled. She hugged them and invited them in. She was very happy to see them. + +"What is the present?" she asked. + +They gave her a box wrapped in paper. She opened it and found a beautiful scarf. It was soft and warm and had many colors. + +"Thank you, my dears. This is a lovely present. How did you get here?" she asked. + +"We flew on our carpet. It can go very fast and high," they said. + +"Wow, that sounds amazing. Can I see your carpet?" she asked. + +They took her outside and showed her their carpet. It was made of pillows and blankets, but it looked very real to them. + +"Can we take you for a ride, Grandma?" they asked. + +"Of course, I would love that. Let's go on an adventure," she said. + +They helped her on the carpet and flew away. They had a wonderful time together. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a collar, but no name. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe the dog is deaf. Maybe it can't hear us." + +They go closer to the dog. The dog looks at them. It wags its tail. It seems friendly. + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. "We want to pet you. Is that okay?" + +The dog barks. It licks Tom's hand. Tom smiles. He pets the dog's head. + +"See, Lily? The dog is not deaf. It can hear us. It likes us," Tom says. + +Lily nods. She pets the dog's back. The dog barks again. It looks happy. + +They play with the dog for a while. They throw a stick and the dog fetches it. They rub the dog's belly and the dog rolls over. They have fun. + +Then, they hear a whistle. A man comes running. He has a cross face. + +"That's my dog! What are you doing with my dog?" the man shouts. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They let go of the dog. The dog runs to the man. + +"We are sorry, sir," Tom says. "We just wanted to play with the dog. We didn't know it was your dog." + +The man looks at them. He sees their scared faces. He sees the dog's happy face. He feels sorry. + +"It's okay, kids," the man says. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. My dog is deaf. He can't hear me when I call him. That's why I whistle. He can feel the whistle." + +Tom and Lily are surprised. The dog is deaf. But the dog can still play and have fun. + +"Wow, that's amazing," Lily says. "The dog is deaf, but he can feel the whistle." + +"Yes, he can," the man says. "He is a smart dog. And he is a friendly dog. He likes you. Do you want to play with him some more?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They smile. They play with the dog and the man. They are happy. They care about the dog. And the dog cares about them. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a big sack full of cars, dolls, balls and books. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were on adventures. + +One day, they found a bottle of glue in the shed. They wondered what it was for. They decided to try it on their toys. They glued cars to dolls, balls to books, and books to cars. They thought it was very funny. + +But then, their mum came out and saw what they had done. She was very angry. She said they had ruined their toys and made a filthy mess. She took the sack and the glue and threw them in the bin. She told them to go inside and wash their hands. + +Tom and Lily felt very sad. They had not meant to make mum angry. They had only wanted to have fun. They said they were sorry and hugged mum. Mum said she loved them, but they had to be careful with glue. She said glue was not for toys, but for paper and crafts. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never played with glue again. They got new toys and played nicely with them. They still had fun, but they also respected their toys and their mum. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the pool. They had a big pool in their backyard, with toys and floats and a slide. One sunny day, they put on their swimsuits and ran outside to have fun. + +"Look, Lily, I can go down the slide!" Ben said, climbing up the ladder. He smiled and waved at his sister, who was sitting on a float. He slid down the slide and splashed into the water. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so brave!" Lily said, clapping her hands. She wanted to try the slide too, but she was a little scared. She got off the float and walked to the ladder. She held on to the rails and took a step up. + +But then, she saw something that made her scream. A big, heavy frog was sitting on the top of the slide, looking at her with its big eyes. Lily was afraid of frogs, and she did not want to go near it. She screamed and ran back to the float, crying. + +"Help, help, there is a frog on the slide!" she shouted. + +Ben heard his sister scream and looked up. He saw the frog and laughed. He was not afraid of frogs, he liked them. He swam to the ladder and climbed up. He reached the frog and gently picked it up. + +"Don't worry, Lily, it's just a frog. It won't hurt you. See, it's cute and soft." He said, holding the frog in his hand. He showed it to his sister, who was still on the float, sobbing. + +"No, no, I don't like it. Take it away, Ben, take it away!" Lily said, hiding her face. + +Ben sighed and shook his head. He did not understand why Lily was so scared of a frog. He decided to take the frog to the grass and let it go. He hoped it would find a nice pond to live in. + +"Bye, frog, have a nice day." He said, putting the frog down. He waved at it and went back to the pool. + +"Come on, Lily, let's play. The frog is gone, you can try the slide now." He said, smiling at his sister. + +Lily wiped her tears and looked at Ben. She saw that he was telling the truth. The frog was gone, and the slide was clear. She felt a little better and nodded. + +"Okay, Ben, I'll try the slide. But you have to go with me." She said, getting off the float. + +"Sure, Lily, I'll go with you. We'll have fun together." Ben said, taking his sister's hand. + +They walked to the ladder and climbed up. They sat on the slide, side by side, and held hands. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Ready, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Ready, Ben." Lily answered. + +They pushed off and slid down the slide, laughing and splashing into the water. They hugged and cheered. + +"We did it, Lily, we did it!" Ben said. + +"We did it, Ben, we did it!" Lily said. + +They were happy and proud. They forgot about the frog and enjoyed the pool. They played and played until it was time to go inside. They had a great day in the pool. +Lily likes tuna. She likes to eat tuna with bread and cheese. She likes to share tuna with her cat, Max. Max likes tuna too. He meows when he smells tuna. + +One day, Lily and Max find a big can of tuna in the kitchen. Lily is happy. She wants to open the can and eat tuna with Max. But the can is heavy. Lily cannot lift the can. She tries to push the can, but it does not move. She tries to roll the can, but it falls off the table. Lily is sad. She cries. + +Max hears Lily cry. He runs to the kitchen. He sees the can of tuna on the floor. He sees Lily on the floor too. He licks Lily's face. He wants to make her happy. He has an idea. He jumps on the can of tuna. He scratches the can with his claws. He makes a hole in the can. He smells tuna. He is happy. + +Lily sees Max on the can of tuna. She sees the hole in the can. She smells tuna too. She is happy. She hugs Max. She says, "Thank you, Max. You are a good cat. You are a smart cat. You opened the can of tuna for us. Let's eat tuna together." + +Lily and Max seat on the floor. They eat tuna from the can. They share tuna with each other. They are full. They are happy. They love tuna. They love each other. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big iron in their mom's room. It was shiny and heavy and had a long cord. + +"Let's play with the iron!" Sam said. "We can pretend it is a spaceship or a robot!" + +"No, Sam, that is not a good idea," Tom said. "The iron is not a toy. It can be hot and hurt us. Mom said we should not touch it." + +But Sam did not listen to Tom. He had a strong urge to play with the iron. He took it from the shelf and plugged it in the wall. He turned the knob and made the iron hot. + +"Look, Tom, the iron is smoking!" Sam said. "It is like a rocket!" + +"Sam, stop it! You are being silly and dangerous!" Tom said. "The iron can burn you or the cord can shock you. Put it back now!" + +But Sam did not listen to Tom. He lifted the iron and swung it around. He made loud noises and laughed. He did not see the cord was tangled and pulled the iron from his hand. The iron fell on the floor and broke. It made a loud bang and a spark. + +"Sam, what have you done?" Tom said. "You broke the iron and made a mess. Mom will be very angry with you. You should have listened to me." + +Sam felt scared and sorry. He saw the broken iron and the smoke. He wished he had listened to Tom. He knew he had made a bad choice. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam said. "You were right. The iron was not a toy. I was being silly and dangerous. I should have listened to you." + +Tom hugged Sam and said, "It's okay, Sam. I'm glad you are not hurt. But we have to tell Mom what happened. She will be upset, but she will also forgive us. We have to be honest and learn from our mistake." + +Sam nodded and said, "You are right, Tom. We have to tell Mom. And we have to be careful and not play with things that are not toys. We have to be smart and safe." + +They went to find Mom and told her what happened. Mom was upset, but she was also glad they were not hurt. She hugged them and said, "I love you, boys. But you have to be more careful and listen to each other. The iron is not a toy. It can be hot and hurt you. You have to respect the things in the house and not break them. You have to be responsible and honest." + +Sam and Tom said, "We love you, Mom. We are sorry we broke the iron. We will be more careful and listen to each other. We will respect the things in the house and not break them. We will be responsible and honest." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, boys. I'm proud of you for telling me the truth and learning from your mistake. Now, let's clean up the mess and find something else to play with. Something that is a toy and not an iron." + +Sam and Tom smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They cleaned up the mess and found some blocks and cars to play with. They had fun and played nicely. They did not play with the iron anymore. They learned their lesson. They learned to be smart and safe. +Tom was a car that liked to speed. He always wanted to go faster than the other cars on the road. He did not care if he made them angry or scared. He did not care if he broke the rules or the lights. He just wanted to have fun and feel the wind. + +One day, he saw a file of cars waiting at a red light. He thought it was boring to wait. He wanted to speed past them and get to the front. He did not see the big truck coming from the other side. He did not hear the horn or the brakes. He only felt a big crash and a lot of pain. + +Tom was very hurt. He had to go to the garage and get fixed. He had to stay there for a long time. He could not speed anymore. He could not see the other cars or the road. He was very lonely. He wished he had been nicer and slower. He wished he had some friends to talk to and play with. + +He learned a lesson. He learned that speed is not always good. He learned that rules and lights are there to keep everyone safe. He learned that other cars are not his enemies, but his friends. He learned that fun is not worth hurting himself or others. + +When he got better, he was a different car. He was more careful and kind. He followed the rules and the lights. He waited his turn and shared the road. He made friends with the other cars and had fun with them. He was not lonely anymore. He was happy. +Anna likes to sing. She sings all the time. She sings at home, at school, and in the park. She wants to be an opera singer when she grows up.

The lady in the red dress falls down. She does not get up. She does not sing. The man in the black suit cries. The music stops. The people gasp. Anna is scared and sad. She does not understand. + +Her mom and dad tell her that the lady in the red dress is not really hurt. She is just pretending. It is part of the story. They say that the lady in the red dress is very brave. She falls down on purpose. She makes people feel things. She is a good opera singer. + +Anna feels better. She claps her hands. She cheers for the lady in the red dress. She wants to be like her. She wants to be brave and beautiful. She wants to be an opera singer. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a small doll and Tom had a big truck. They were having fun, but then Tom saw Lily's doll and wanted it. + +"Give me your doll!" Tom said. "It is pretty and soft." + +"No!" Lily said. "It is mine. You have your truck." + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Lily and ran away. Lily was sad and angry. She cried and chased Tom. + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Lily shouted. + +Tom ran into the kitchen, where Mom was cooking. He hid behind the table and hugged the doll. Mom heard the noise and turned around. + +"What is going on?" Mom asked. "Why are you crying, Lily?" + +"Tom took my doll!" Lily said. "It is an emergency! I need my doll!" + +Mom looked at Tom and saw the doll in his arms. She frowned and walked to him. + +"Tom, that is not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. How would you feel if Lily took your truck?" Mom said. + +Tom thought for a moment. He liked his truck very much. He would not like it if Lily took it. He felt sorry for Lily. He looked at her and saw her tears. + +"I'm sorry, Lily." Tom said. "Here is your doll. I was wrong." + +He gave the doll back to Lily and smiled. Lily smiled too. She was happy to have her doll again. She hugged the doll and then hugged Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom." Lily said. "You are a good brother." + +Mom was proud of them. She hugged them both and said, "You are both good children. I love you very much." + +They all hugged and went back to the living room. They played with their toys together and shared. They had fun and were nice to each other. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They are happy. + +But the sun is very hot. The snowman starts to melt. His hat falls off. His scarf gets wet. His nose and eyes drop. Lily and Ben are sad. + +They run to Lily's house. They find some paper and crayons. They draw a picture of the snowman. They make him smile. They write his name: Sam. They are happy again. + +They go back to the snowman. He is very small now. They put the picture next to him. They say goodbye to Sam. They hug each other. They are kind. + +The snowman sees the picture. He sees his smile. He sees his name. He sees Lily and Ben. He is happy too. He melts with love. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to draw and paint. They have many images on paper. Some are of animals, some are of flowers, some are of people. + +One day, they decide to sell their images. They make a sign that says "Images for sale. One coin each." They put the sign and their images on a table outside their house. They wait for customers. + +Soon, a lady comes by. She sees the sign and the images. She smiles and says, "Hello, children. What a lovely idea. Can I see your images?" + +Lily and Tom are happy. They show her their images. The lady likes them. She says, "They are very pretty and colorful. You are very talented. Can I buy this one?" She points to an image of a cat. + +Lily says, "Yes, you can. That is my image. I love cats. They are soft and cute." + +Tom says, "And this is my image. It is a flower. I love flowers. They are bright and smell nice." + +The lady says, "They are both wonderful. I will buy them both. Here are two coins for you." She gives them the coins and takes the images. + +Lily and Tom are very happy. They say, "Thank you, lady. Have a nice day." + +The lady says, "You're welcome, children. You too." She walks away with the images. + +Lily and Tom look at their coins. They are shiny and round. They feel proud and excited. They wonder who else will buy their images. + +They are not restless anymore. They are having fun. They are selling their images. +Anna liked to play with her model cars. She had many of them, in different colors and shapes. She liked to make them go fast on the floor and pretend they were racing. She also liked to share them with her friend Ben, who lived next door. + +One day, Ben came over to play with Anna. He saw a new model car on her shelf. It was pale blue and shiny, with a big number on the side. "Wow, can I play with this one?" he asked Anna. + +Anna hesitated. She liked her new model car very much. She got it as a gift from her grandma, who said it was special. She did not want Ben to break it or lose it. But she also did not want to be mean to her friend. She thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, you can play with it. But you have to promise me something." + +"What do I have to promise?" Ben asked. + +"You have to promise to be very careful with it. And you have to promise to give it back to me when we are done playing. And you have to promise not to tell anyone else about it. It is a secret model car, okay?" Anna said. + +Ben nodded. He liked secrets. He also liked to play with the pale blue model car. He said, "I promise, I promise, I promise. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." + +Anna smiled. She was happy to share her model car with Ben. She trusted him to keep his promise. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. Let's play!" +Jenny and Ben were playing with their new toy car. It was a fancy car, with shiny wheels and bright lights. They liked to make it go fast and beep its horn. + +"Look, Jenny, I can make it jump over this ramp!" Ben said, as he pushed the car hard. + +"Wow, Ben, that's so cool!" Jenny said, as she clapped her hands. + +But then, the car stopped moving. It did not go fast or beep its horn anymore. Jenny and Ben tried to push it, but it did not work. + +"What's wrong with the car?" Jenny asked, as she frowned. + +"Maybe it needs a new battery," Ben said, as he looked at the car. + +"What's a battery?" Jenny asked, as she tilted her head. + +"A battery is a thing that makes the car go. It has power inside. But sometimes, the power runs out, and you need to change it," Ben said, as he pointed at the car. + +"Oh, I see. Where can we get a new battery?" Jenny asked, as she nodded. + +"We can ask Mom. She has some in the kitchen. Come on, let's go," Ben said, as he picked up the car. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was making a cake. They showed her the car and asked for a new battery. + +"Sure, sweeties, I have some batteries here. But first, you need to do something for me," Mom said, as she smiled. + +"What do we need to do, Mom?" Jenny and Ben asked, as they looked at her. + +"You need to help me clean up your room. It's very messy, and you have toys everywhere. You need to put them away, and make your bed. Then, I will give you a new battery," Mom said, as she handed them a basket. + +Jenny and Ben did not like to clean up their room. They liked to play with their toys, and make a lot of noise. But they wanted a new battery for their car, so they agreed to help Mom. + +They went to their room, and started to put their toys in the basket. They found some toys that they had forgotten, and some toys that they did not play with anymore. They decided to give some of them to their friends, or to other kids who did not have many toys.

Mom was very happy, and gave them a hug. + +"Good job, Jenny and Ben! You did a great job cleaning up your room. I'm very proud of you. Here is your new battery," Mom said, as she gave them a battery. + +"Thank you, Mom! You're the best!" Jenny and Ben said, as they took the battery. + +They put the battery in the car, and turned it on. The car started to go fast and beep its horn again. They were very happy, and ran to the living room to play with it. + +They learned that if they wanted something, they had to work for it, and be responsible. They also learned that they did not need so many toys, and that they could share them with others. They had a lot of fun with their fancy car, but they also had fun with their other toys, and with each other. They were very grateful for what they had, and for their Mom. +Lily was a girl who liked to buy weird things. She did not like dolls or cars or books. She liked to buy things like rocks and spoons and hats. She had a big box where she kept all her weird things. + +One day, she went to the shop with her mom. She saw a weird thing that she wanted to buy. It was a green ball with eyes and a mouth. It made funny noises when she touched it. She said to her mom, "Mom, can I buy this weird thing? Please, please, please!" + +Her mom looked at the weird thing and said, "No, Lily, you can't buy that. That is not a toy. That is a frog. It is alive. It needs water and food and a home. You can't keep it in your box." + +Lily was sad. She liked the frog. She thought it was a weird thing. She said, "But mom, it is so cute and funny. I want to buy it. I will take care of it. I will give it water and food and a home. Please, mom, please!" + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily, you can't buy the frog. It is not for sale. It belongs to the shopkeeper. He keeps it as a pet. He loves it very much. You can't take it away from him." + +Lily looked at the shopkeeper. He was smiling at her. He said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like my frog? His name is Bob. He is my friend. Do you want to play with him for a while?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please. I like Bob. He is a weird thing. Can I hold him?" + +The shopkeeper said, "Sure, you can hold him. But be gentle. He is very soft and slippery. And don't squeeze him too hard. He might croak." + +Lily took Bob in her hands. She felt his wet skin and his bumpy back. She heard his funny noises. She smiled. She said, "Hi, Bob. You are a weird thing. But you are also a nice thing. I like you." + +Bob looked at Lily with his big eyes. He said, "Ribbit, ribbit." He liked her too. +Anna loved to make things with beads. She had a big box of beads in many colors and shapes.

She worked hard to make the bracelet look nice and fit her mom's wrist. + +She was very proud of her bracelet. She wanted to show it to her mom right away. But her mom was at work and would not come home until later. Anna had an idea. She went to her mom's room and found a small stand where her mom kept her jewelry. She put her bracelet on the stand and wrote a note that said "For Mom, from Anna. I love you." + +She hoped her mom would see it and like it. She hid behind the door and waited for her mom to come home. + +When her mom came home, she was tired and hungry. She went to her room to change her clothes. She saw the stand with the jewelry and noticed something new. She picked up the bracelet and read the note. She smiled and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She recognized Anna's handwriting and her beads. + +She opened the door and saw Anna peeking from behind. She hugged her and thanked her for the bracelet. She told her it was the most beautiful bracelet she ever had. She put it on her wrist and showed it to Anna. Anna was very happy. She had made her mom happy with her bracelet. She had displayed her love and her skill. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park with their ball. They like to kick the ball and catch it. They hear a loud noise. It is a big truck with red lights and a siren. The truck is going very fast. + +"What is that?" Mia asks. + +"That is an emergency truck," Tom says. "It helps people who are hurt or sick." + +"Where is it going?" Mia wonders. + +"Maybe to the hospital," Tom guesses. + +They watch the truck go by. Then they see a man on a bike. He is wearing a helmet and a jacket. He is riding behind the truck. He has a camera in his hand. + +"Who is that?" Mia asks. + +"That is a news man," Tom says. "He tells stories about what happens in the world." + +"Does he want to tell a story about the emergency truck?" Mia asks. + +"Maybe," Tom says. "Or maybe he wants to tell a story about something else." + +They watch the man on the bike. He stops at a corner. He sees a big dog. The dog is ugly. It has dirty fur and sharp teeth. It barks at the man. + +"Look at that dog!" Mia says. + +"That is an ugly dog," Tom says. + +The man on the bike is scared. He drops his camera. He tries to ride away. But the dog runs after him. It bites his leg. + +"Ow!" the man screams. + +"That is bad," Mia says. + +"That is very bad," Tom says. + +They hear another noise. It is another truck. It is white and has a cross on it. It is an ambulance. It stops near the man and the dog. Two people get out. They wear white clothes and have bags. They help the man. They put a bandage on his leg. They put him on a stretcher. They put him in the ambulance. + +"Are they going to the hospital?" Mia asks. + +"Yes," Tom says. "They are going to make him better." + +"What about the dog?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe someone will take it away." + +They watch the ambulance go away. They hear the siren. They feel sorry for the man. They hope he will be okay. + +"Let's go back to playing," Mia says. + +"Okay," Tom says. + +They pick up their ball. They kick it and catch it. They have fun. They forget about the emergency truck, the news man, and the ugly dog. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She played with them every day, but sometimes she got tired and wanted to nap. + +One day, she was playing with her car on the floor. She made it go fast and slow, and made noises like beep and vroom. She had fun, but she also felt hungry. She looked at the clock and saw that it was lunch time. She put her car away and went to the kitchen. + +She saw her mom making sandwiches. She smiled and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can I have a sandwich?" Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. Here you go. Do you want some juice too?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please." She took her sandwich and juice and sat at the table. She ate her sandwich and drank her juice. She felt her stomach get full and happy. + +She thanked her mom and said, "Mom, can I nap now? I'm tired." Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. You can nap now. Do you want me to read you a story?" Lily said, "Yes, please. I like stories." She followed her mom to her room. She got her doll and bear and hugged them. She climbed into her bed and pulled the blanket over her. + +Her mom sat next to her and opened a book. She read her a story about a princess and a dragon. Lily listened and looked at the pictures. She felt her eyes get heavy and her body get warm. She said, "Mom, I love you. You're the best." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You're my sweet girl." She kissed her forehead and said, "Sleep well, my darling. I'll be here when you wake up." She closed the book and turned off the light. + +Lily closed her eyes and snuggled with her doll and bear. She felt safe and cozy. She fell asleep and dreamed of cars and sandwiches and stories. She was happy. She had a good nap. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the river. They had a big boat made of wood and rope that they used to pretend they were pirates. One day, they saw a crocodile in the water. It was green and scaly and had many sharp teeth. + +"Wow, look at that crocodile!" Lily said. "It is so big and scary!" + +"I want to catch it and make it our pet!" Tom said. "It can guard our boat and scare away other pirates!" + +"No, you can't do that!" Lily said. "It is too dangerous and smelly! It will bite you and make you sick!" + +They began to quarrel. Lily said Tom was silly and Tom said Lily was scared. They shouted and pulled each other's hair. They did not see the crocodile swim closer to their boat. + +"Hello, little pirates," the crocodile said in a low voice. "You look very tasty. Can I have a bite?" + +Lily and Tom stopped quarreling and looked at the crocodile. They were very afraid. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. + +"Please, don't eat us, Mr. Crocodile!" Lily said. "We are not tasty, we are friends!" + +"Yes, please, leave us alone, Mr. Crocodile!" Tom said. "We don't want to be your pet, we want to be free!" + +The crocodile laughed. He said he was only joking. He said he did not like to eat pirates, he liked to eat fish. He said he was lonely and wanted to play with them. + +"Can we be friends, Mr. Crocodile?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, we can be friends," the crocodile said. "But you have to promise me one thing. You have to stop quarreling and be nice to each other. Friends don't fight, they share and help." + +Lily and Tom agreed. They said they would be good friends and not quarrel anymore. They invited the crocodile to join their pirate game. They gave him a hat and a sword and called him Captain Croc. They had a lot of fun together. They learned that the crocodile was not so scary and smelly after all. He was kind and funny and smart. They were happy. The end. +Mira was a curious girl who liked to ask many questions. She wanted to know about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the animals. She also wanted to know about God, who her mama said loved her very much. + +One day, Mira asked her mama, "How can I talk to God? Can He hear me?" + +Her mama smiled and said, "Yes, He can hear you, my dear. You can talk to Him anytime, anywhere. You can talk to Him in your heart, or you can say words out loud. That is called praying. Praying is a way of telling God what you feel, what you need, what you thank Him for, and what you ask Him for." + +Mira nodded and said, "Can I pray now, mama?" + +Her mama said, "Of course, you can. You can pray before you eat, before you sleep, when you are happy, when you are sad, or whenever you want. God is always listening." + +Mira closed her eyes and said, "Dear God, thank You for my mama, my papa, my brother, and my toys. Thank You for the food, the water, the air, and the flowers. Please help me to be a good girl, to obey, to share, and to learn. Please protect me and my family from harm. And please give me a good nap today. Amen." + +Her mama hugged her and said, "That was a beautiful prayer, Mira. I'm sure God is pleased with you. Now, let's go to your room and have a nap. You can pray again when you wake up." + +Mira followed her mama to her room, where she lay down on her bed. She felt peaceful and happy. She wondered what God looked like, and what He would say to her. She was still curious, but she also trusted God. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of God. +Lily was sad. She had no friends to play with. She liked to draw and sing, but no one wanted to join her. She felt alone and hurt. + +One day, she saw a big envelope in the mail. It was an invitation. It had her name and a picture of a cake. It was from Sam, a boy in her class. He was having a birthday party. He wanted Lily to come. + +Lily was happy. She ran to her mom and showed her the invitation. "Can I go, mom? Please?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Sam is a nice boy. He likes to draw and sing, too. You will have fun," mom said. She hugged Lily and comforted her. + +The day of the party came. Lily wore her best dress and brought a gift for Sam. She was nervous and excited. She knocked on the door and Sam opened it. He smiled and said, "Hi, Lily. I'm glad you came. Come in, come in. We have games and snacks and a wild animal show." + +Lily followed Sam into the house. She saw balloons and streamers and other kids. She felt shy, but Sam held her hand and introduced her to his friends. They played pin the tail on the donkey and musical chairs and ate cake and ice cream. Then, they watched the wild animal show. They saw a monkey, a snake, a parrot and a lion. They learned their names and sounds and facts. Lily loved the animals. She clapped and laughed and asked questions. + +She had a wonderful time. She thanked Sam for inviting her and gave him a hug. She made new friends and felt happy. She realized that she was not alone and hurt. She was brave and kind. She was Lily. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. Lily had a new bag that she got for her birthday. It was pink and shiny and had a unicorn on it. Tom liked the bag very much. He wished he had a bag like that. + +"Can I see your bag, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom. Here you go." Lily said. She passed the bag to Tom. Tom held the bag and looked at it. He felt happy. + +"Can I keep it, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom. It's my bag. You have to give it back." Lily said. + +"But I want it, Lily. It's so pretty." Tom said. + +"No, Tom. It's mine. Mom gave it to me. You have your own bag." Lily said. She pointed to Tom's bag. It was blue and had a car on it. + +"But I don't like my bag. I like yours." Tom said. He did not want to pass the bag back to Lily. He held it tight. + +Lily and Tom started to argue. They both wanted the bag. They both felt envious of each other. Their moms heard them and came over. + +"What's going on, kids?" Lily's mom asked. + +"Tom won't give me my bag back. He wants to keep it." Lily said. + +"Tom, is that true?" Tom's mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. I like Lily's bag. It's better than mine." Tom said. + +"Tom, that's not nice. You can't take Lily's bag. It's hers. You have to share and be kind to your friend." Tom's mom said. + +"But mom..." Tom said. + +"No buts, Tom. Pass the bag back to Lily and say sorry." Tom's mom said. + +Tom sighed. He knew his mom was right. He passed the bag back to Lily and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Your bag is very nice, but it's yours. Can we still be friends?" Tom said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad Tom said sorry. She liked Tom as a friend. + +"Of course, Tom. We can still be friends. Thank you for giving me my bag back. Do you want to play with it together?" Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He was happy too. He liked Lily as a friend. + +"Sure, Lily. That would be fun. Can I also show you my bag? It has a cool car on it." Tom said. + +Lily nodded. She was curious about Tom's bag. She liked cars too. + +"Sure, Tom. I would like to see your bag. It sounds cool." Lily said. + +They both showed each other their bags and played with them. They both liked each other's bags, but they liked their own bags more. They both felt proud of their bags. They both felt happy. Their moms smiled and watched them. They were glad their kids were friends again. They all had a good time at the park. +Lila and Sam were friends. They liked to play and talk. They knew the same language. They could understand each other. + +One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a different language. She could not understand Lila and Sam. She looked sad and lonely. + +Lila and Sam wanted to be nice. They went to the new girl and said hello. They asked her name. They asked her where she came from. They asked her if she wanted to play. + +But the new girl did not answer. She did not know what they said. She felt scared and confused. She ran away from them. + +Lila and Sam felt bad. They did not mean to scare her. They wanted to be her friend. They wondered why she had a different language. They wondered how they could talk to her. + +They asked their mom. Their mom told them that there were many languages in the world. She told them that some people spoke different languages. She told them that they could learn new languages if they wanted to. + +Lila and Sam thought that was cool. They wanted to learn the new girl's language. They asked their mom to teach them. Their mom said she did not know the new girl's language. She said they had to find someone who knew it. + +Lila and Sam looked for someone who knew the new girl's language. They asked many people. But no one knew it. They felt sad and frustrated. They gave up. + +They never saw the new girl again. They never learned her language. They never became her friend. They missed a chance to make a new friend. + +The moral of the story is: Language can be a barrier or a bridge. If you want to make friends with someone who speaks a different language, you have to be patient and curious. You have to find a way to communicate. You have to be dependable and kind. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle with many pieces. They liked to unite the pieces and make a picture of a farm with animals and trees. + +One day, they had a fight over the puzzle. Lily wanted to start with the sky, but Ben wanted to start with the grass. They both pulled on the puzzle box and it broke. The pieces flew everywhere and some got lost under the sofa and the table. Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They did not want to play together anymore. + +Their mom saw what happened and felt sorry for them. She said, "Lily and Ben, why are you fighting? You are twins and you should love each other. The puzzle is just a toy, but you are family. Family is more important than toys. Can you say sorry and hug each other?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They said sorry and hugged each other. They said, "We love you, mom. We love you, twin." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you, too. Now, let's find the puzzle pieces and unite them again. It will be more fun if we do it together. And maybe we can find a surprise in the puzzle." + +Lily and Ben wondered what the surprise was. They helped their mom find the puzzle pieces and unite them again. They started with the sky and the grass, then the animals and the trees. When they finished, they saw a big red barn in the middle of the puzzle. And in the barn, there was a thin envelope with their names on it. + +They opened the envelope and found two tickets to the farm. Their mom said, "Surprise! I bought these tickets for your birthday. We can go to the farm and see the real animals and trees. Do you like it?" + +Lily and Ben were very happy and excited. They thanked their mom and hugged her. They said, "We love it, mom. Thank you. This is the best birthday ever." + +They learned that fighting over toys was not worth it. They learned that family and love were more important. They learned that if they unite, they can have more fun and find more surprises. They learned that time with family was precious. They were happy twins. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, Lily wants to teach Ben how to make milk. She says, "Come, I show you. It is easy and fun." + +Ben follows Lily to the kitchen. Lily takes a big bottle of milk from the fridge. She says, "We need a cup and a spoon. And some sugar and cocoa. Then we have yummy milk." She puts the bottle on the table and looks for a cup and a spoon. + +But Ben is curious. He wants to see what is in the bottle. He grabs the bottle and opens it. He smells the milk. It smells good. He thinks, "Maybe I can drink some." He lifts the bottle to his mouth and tilts it. + +But the bottle is too heavy and too full. The milk spills out of the bottle and onto Ben's face and clothes. It also splashes on the table and the floor. Ben is wet and sticky. He feels cold and icky. He drops the bottle and cries. + +Lily hears Ben's cry and turns around. She sees the mess and gets angry. She says, "Ben, what did you do? You wasted the milk. You ruined the game. You are a bad friend." She picks up the spoon and hits Ben on the head. Ben cries louder. + +Lily's mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the milk and the spoon and the crying children. She is shocked and sad. She says, "Lily, Ben, what happened? Why are you fighting? Why are you wasting food? You are in trouble." She takes the spoon from Lily and hugs Ben. She says, "Ben, I'm sorry. Are you okay? Do you need a towel?" Ben nods and sniffles. He says, "I'm sorry, too. I just wanted some milk. I didn't mean to make a mess." Lily's mom says, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. But you should ask before you take something. And you should be careful with big bottles." She takes Ben to the bathroom to clean him up. + +Lily is left alone in the kitchen. She feels bad. She knows she was mean to Ben. She knows she hurt him. She knows she made her mom unhappy. She wishes she could say sorry. But she is too scared and ashamed. She sits on the floor and cries. She thinks, "I'm a bad friend. I'm a bad teacher. I'm a bad girl." She has no milk. She has no fun. She has no friend. She is not fine. +Tim and Mia were playing with their crayons on the floor. They liked to draw big pictures of animals and cars and flowers. But they did not like to clean up after themselves. They left their crayons and papers all over the floor. + +Mom came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Tim and Mia, you need to wipe the floor and put away your crayons. This is not how we treat our things. You have to be tidy and respectful." She gave them a lecture about why it was important to clean up. + +Tim and Mia did not want to listen. They thought Mom was boring and mean. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "No, Mom, we don't want to wipe the floor. We want to draw more pictures. We are having fun." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Tim and Mia, you are being naughty and rude. If you don't wipe the floor and put away your crayons, you will have no dessert and no TV tonight. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Mia did not like that. They did not want to miss dessert and TV. They said, "Okay, Mom, we will wipe the floor and put away our crayons. But we don't like it." + +They started to wipe the floor and put away their crayons. But they did it very slowly and carelessly. They did not do a good job. They left some crayons and papers on the floor. They also wiped the floor in circles and made themselves dizzy. + +Mom came back into the room and saw the poor job they did. She was not happy. She said, "Tim and Mia, you did not wipe the floor and put away your crayons properly. You still left some mess on the floor. And you made yourselves dizzy by wiping in circles. You have to do it better and faster. Or you will still have no dessert and no TV tonight." + +Tim and Mia felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said, "Sorry, Mom, we will do it better and faster. We don't want to be naughty and rude. We don't want to miss dessert and TV. We love you, Mom." + +They did it better and faster. They wiped the floor and put away their crayons properly. They made the room tidy and respectful. They also stopped feeling dizzy. + +Mom came back into the room and saw the good job they did. She was happy. She said, "Tim and Mia, you did a good job. You wiped the floor and put away your crayons properly. You made the room tidy and respectful. You also stopped feeling dizzy. I am proud of you. You are good and polite. You can have dessert and TV tonight. I love you, too." + +Tim and Mia were happy. They hugged Mom and thanked her. They learned their lesson. They decided to always clean up after themselves. They also decided to listen to Mom and not give her a lecture. They knew Mom was not boring and mean. She was smart and kind. They loved Mom. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they also like to tease each other. One day, Lily took Ben's car and hid it under her pillow. She said, "I have your car, Ben. You can't find it. Ha ha!" + +Ben was sad and angry. He looked for his car everywhere. He asked Lily, "Where is my car, Lily? Give it back to me. It is mine!" + +Lily laughed and said, "No, it is mine now. You can't have it. You are silly, Ben." + +Ben started to cry. He ran to his mom and told her what Lily did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, that is not nice. You should not tease your brother. You should share your toys and be kind. Go and say sorry to Ben and give him his car back." + +Lily felt sorry. She knew she was wrong. She went to Ben and said, "I am sorry, Ben. I was mean to you. Here is your car. Can we play together?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. I forgive you. Yes, we can play together." + +They hugged and played with their car and other toys. They had fun and forgot their fight. Soon they were tired and sleepy. They put their toys away and went to their bed. They snuggled with their blankets and pillows. They felt comfortable and happy. They said, "Good night, Lily. Good night, Ben." They closed their eyes and took a nap. +Lily loved waffles. She liked to eat them with honey and butter. Every morning, she asked her mom for waffles. But one day, her mom said no. She said they had no more waffles. Lily was sad and angry. + +She had a plan. She would make her own waffles. She found a box of waffle mix in the pantry. She poured some water and some oil in a bowl. She stirred and stirred. She did not measure. She did not read the instructions. She just wanted waffles. + +She poured some batter on the waffle maker. She closed the lid. She waited. She smelled something bad. She opened the lid. The waffle was burnt and sticky. It did not look like a waffle. It looked like a mess. Lily cried. + +Her mom heard her cry. She came to the kitchen. She saw the burnt waffle and the dirty bowl. She was not happy. She asked Lily what she was doing. Lily said she wanted waffles. She said she was sorry. + +Her mom hugged her. She said it was okay. She said she was sorry too. She said she forgot to buy more waffles. She said they could go to the store and get some. She said they could also get some fruit and some juice. She said they could have a charming picnic in the park. Lily smiled. She liked that idea. She said she loved her mom. Her mom said she loved her too. They cleaned up the kitchen and went to the store. They had a happy day. +Lily liked to play with her bow and arrow. She made them from a stick and a string. She was very good at hitting things with her arrow. She could hit a can, a tree, or a bird. But she was not allowed to hit people or animals. Her mom and dad told her that was bad and hurtful. They made her promise to be careful and kind. + +One day, Lily saw a tall man walking in the park. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked funny and mean. Lily wanted to see if she could hit his hat with her arrow. She thought it would be fun and silly. She did not think it would hurt him. She forgot her promise. + +She hid behind a bush and aimed her bow. She let go of the string and the arrow flew in the air. It hit the tall man's hat and made it fall off. The tall man was angry and scared. He shouted and looked around. He saw Lily and her bow. He ran towards her with a red face. + +Lily was afraid and sorry. She dropped her bow and ran away. She ran to her mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. She told them what she did and cried. Her mom and dad were sad and disappointed. They hugged her and said they loved her, but they also said she was wrong and naughty. They said she had to say sorry to the tall man and give him back his hat. They said she had to keep her promise. + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She took her mom's hand and walked to the tall man. He was still angry and holding his hat. Lily said sorry and gave him a flower. The tall man looked at her and sighed. He said it was okay and thanked her for the flower. He put his hat back on and smiled a little. Lily smiled too and felt better. She learned her lesson and kept her promise. She never hit people or animals with her arrow again. She only hit cans, trees, and birds. And sometimes, she gave them flowers too. +Sara liked to wander around the house and look at different things. She liked to touch the shiny things and the soft things and the colorful things. But she knew she was not allowed to touch some things, like the hot stove or the sharp scissors or the big telephone. + +One day, Sara was wandering in the living room while her mom was busy in the kitchen. She saw the big telephone on the table. It looked so interesting and fun. She wanted to touch it and see what it did. She forgot what her mom had told her. She climbed on a chair and reached for the telephone. + +But as soon as she touched it, it made a loud noise. It scared Sara so much that she dropped it and fell off the chair. The telephone broke into pieces and Sara started to cry. Her mom heard the noise and came running. She saw Sara on the floor and the broken telephone on the table. She was very angry and worried. + +She picked up Sara and hugged her. She checked if she was hurt. She was not hurt, but she was very sorry. She said sorry to her mom and promised to never touch the telephone again. Her mom said sorry too and told her she loved her. She explained to her that the telephone was not a toy and that it was important to listen to her mom. She said that sometimes things that look fun can be dangerous or bad. + +Sara learned her lesson. She never wandered near the telephone again. She played with her own toys and books and asked her mom before touching anything new. She was happy and safe and her mom was proud of her. +On Wednesday, Lily and Tom were restless. They wanted to travel and see new things.

They feel bad. + +"We're sorry, Mom and Dad," Sam says. + +"We were fighting over the chicken," Max says. + +"We don't like carrots or salad," they both say. + +Mom and Dad sigh. They say they understand, but they also say they have to try new foods. They say carrots and salad are good for them and they might like them if they try.

Ben has a net. He wants to catch a fish. + +"Can I have your net?" Mia asks Ben. + +"No, it is mine. You can watch me catch a fish," Ben says. + +Ben puts his net in the water. He tries to catch a fish, but the fish are too fast. He gets angry. + +"Let me try," Mia says. + +"No, you can't. You are too small. You will drop the net," Ben says. + +Mia feels sad. She sits on the grass. She sees a duck. The duck is warm and soft. It comes to Mia. Mia pets the duck. + +"Quack, quack," the duck says. + +"Hello, duck. You are nice. Can I be your friend?" Mia says. + +The duck nods. It likes Mia. Mia smiles. + +Ben sees Mia and the duck. He feels lonely. He wants to play with them. + +"Can I pet the duck too?" Ben asks Mia. + +"Yes, you can.

He takes them to a real stadium where a soccer game is happening. Ben and Mia are very excited. They see the green grass, the bright lights, and the colorful flags. They hear the loud noise of the crowd and the whistle of the referee. + +"Look, there are the players!" Ben says, pointing at the field. "They are so fast and strong!" + +"I wonder who will win," Mia says, holding her dad's hand. "I like the team with the blue shirts. They have a star on their chest." + +They watch the game with their dad. They see the players run, kick, pass, and tackle. They see the ball fly, bounce, and roll.

You can't catch me!" Ben said. + +They chased each other until they saw a big hill. It looked like a volcano. They decided to climb it and see what was on top. + +"Maybe there are more dinosaurs up there!" Lily said. + +"Or maybe there is lava!" Ben said. + +They climbed the hill and reached the top. They looked around and saw a lot of smoke and fire. It was a real volcano! + +"Oh no! It's going to erupt!" Lily said. + +"Run! Run!" Ben said. + +They tried to run down the hill, but it was too late. The volcano erupted and spewed hot rocks and ash. Lily and Ben were hit by the rocks and burned by the ash.

They were gone. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make things with glue and paper and scissors. They had a lot of fun making animals and cars and houses. + +But then, Lily saw Ben's toy robot. It was shiny and cool and had lights and sounds. Lily wanted to play with it, but Ben said no. He said it was his and he did not want to share. Lily felt angry and sad. She thought Ben was mean and selfish. + +She waited until Ben went to the bathroom. Then, she grabbed his robot and ran to her room. She locked the door and hid the robot under her bed. She thought she would play with it later, when Ben was not looking. + +But she did not feel happy. She felt guilty. She knew she did something bad. She knew she hurt Ben's feelings. She knew she broke the rule of sharing. She heard Ben knocking on her door and asking for his robot. She heard him crying and calling for mom. + +She did not know what to do. She was afraid of getting in trouble. She was afraid of losing Ben's friendship. She wished she did not take his robot. She wished she could say sorry. + +She decided to be brave and honest. She opened the door and gave Ben his robot. She looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I should not have taken your robot. I was jealous and angry. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben looked at her and saw her tears. He felt sorry for her too. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. I'm sorry I did not share with you. I was greedy and rude. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt relieved and happy. She said, "Yes, we can be friends again. Thank you, Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you, Lily. Do you want to try my robot?" + +They went back to the living room and played with the robot. They shared and took turns. They had a lot of fun. They learned a lesson. They were glad they met each other. They were good friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big shiny ball in the grass. It was gold and brilliant. They ran to the ball and wanted to touch it. + +"Wow, look at this ball!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and bright!" + +"Can we play with it?" Lily asked. "Maybe we can kick it or throw it." + +Ben nodded. He picked up the ball and threw it to Lily. Lily caught it and threw it back. They had fun with the ball. + +But then, the ball hit a rock. It made a loud noise. The ball broke into many pieces. Ben and Lily were shocked. They saw that the ball was not really gold. It was only plastic with gold paint. + +"Oh no, we broke the ball!" Ben cried. "It was not a real gold ball. It was a fake ball." + +Lily felt sad. She hugged Ben. "I'm sorry, Ben. We did not know. Maybe we can fix it." + +They tried to put the pieces back together. But it was too hard. The ball was broken for good. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She saw the broken ball and the sad children. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Did you break this ball?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They told her the truth. They said they found the ball and played with it. They said they thought it was gold and brilliant. They said they broke it by accident. + +Mom smiled. She was not angry. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. You did not do anything wrong. You were just curious and playful. This ball was not very important. It was only a toy. I'm glad you had fun with it. But next time, be careful with things you don't know. They might be fragile or dangerous." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They thanked mom for being kind and understanding. They asked if they could play with something else. + +Mom said yes. She gave them another ball. It was not gold or brilliant. It was red and soft. But it was strong and safe. Ben and Lily liked it. They played with it happily. They did not break it. They had a good day. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to walk in the park. They see many trees and flowers. They play with sticks and stones. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new tree. It is tall and green. It has many needles. Lila says, "This is a pine tree. It smells good." Tom says, "Yes, it does. Can we touch it?" They go near the pine tree. They touch the needles. They are sharp. They hurt their fingers. They say, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +They run away from the pine tree. They are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry. We did not know. We will not touch the pine tree again." They look for a band-aid. They find one in Lila's backpack. They put it on their fingers. They feel better. + +They walk in the park again. They see the pine tree. They do not touch it. They wave to it. They say, "Hello, pine tree. You are pretty. But you are prickly. We will be careful." The pine tree does not say anything. But it seems to smile. Lila and Tom smile too. They are friends. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a red ribbon on it. It looked mysterious. + +"Who do you think left it there?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a present for us!" Ben said. + +They ran to the box and tried to open it. But it was locked with a padlock. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. + +"Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad," Lily said. + +"No, they will say we can't have it. It is ours, we found it!" Ben said. + +They decided to keep the box and hide it in their room. They hoped to find a way to open it later. + +But when they got home, Mom and Dad saw the box and asked them where they got it. + +They lied and said they made it at school. Mom and Dad did not believe them. They were angry and sad. + +They told them to tell the truth and return the box to the park. They said the box belonged to someone else who might be looking for it. They said lying and stealing were bad things to do. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a mistake. They decided to do the right thing and say sorry. They took the box back to the park and left a note saying they were sorry. + +They never knew what was in the box, but they learned a lesson. They learned to be honest and respectful. They learned that mysterious things are not always good things. They learned that the best present is to have a good heart. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with a swing. They also have a small bed with blueberries. They love to eat blueberries. They are sweet and juicy. + +One day, Mom says, "Tom and Lily, it is time to go to the park. Get ready and put on your shoes." Tom and Lily are happy. They like to go to the park. They have a ball and a kite. They can run and fly. + +But Tom has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's pick some blueberries first. We can eat them on the way." Lily nods. She likes blueberries too. They rush to the blueberry bed. They pick as many as they can. They fill their pockets and their mouths. + +Mom calls, "Tom and Lily, are you ready? Come on, we have to go." Tom and Lily run to Mom. They have blue stains on their faces and clothes. Mom sees them and says, "Oh, no! What have you done? You are so messy. You have to change and wash. We can't go to the park like this." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We just wanted some blueberries. They are so yummy." Mom sighs. She says, "I know, but you have to be tidy. You can't pick blueberries without asking. And you can't eat them all. We have to share. Now go and change and wash. Maybe we can still go to the park later." + +Tom and Lily nod. They go to their room. They change and wash. They hope Mom is not too mad. They still want to go to the park. They promise to be tidy next time. They also save some blueberries for Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love blueberries too." +Lily liked to play with her toys in the living room. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a book. She also liked to look at the big piano that her mom played sometimes. She wanted to touch the keys and make sounds, but her mom said no. The piano was not for little hands. + +One day, when her mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily saw a chance to peek at the piano. She crawled quietly to the corner of the room and looked at the shiny black thing. She saw many white and black keys, and a big lid that covered some strings. She wondered what was inside. + +She reached out her hand and lifted the lid a little bit. She saw some metal wires and hammers. She was curious and scared at the same time. She touched one of the wires and heard a loud plink. She jumped and dropped the lid. It made a loud bang. + +Her mom heard the noise and came running to the living room. She saw Lily sitting on the floor, crying and holding her doll. She saw the piano lid open and the keys exposed. She was angry and worried. + +"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "You know you are not supposed to touch the piano. You could have hurt yourself or broken it. Why did you do that?" + +Lily looked at her mom with fearful eyes. She did not know how to explain. She only wanted to see what was inside. She was sorry and scared. She hugged her doll and said, "I peek, mom. I peek." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. But today it is very hot. They look for some shade under a big tree. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lila says. She points to a brown bird on a branch. The bird has a long tail and a red head. + +"Wow, it is pretty!" Ben says. He watches the bird with Lila. The bird sings a loud song. + +Suddenly, a big cat jumps out of the bushes. It sees the bird and runs towards the tree. It wants to catch the bird and eat it. + +"Oh no, the cat is bad!" Lila says. She is scared for the bird. She holds Ben's hand. + +But the bird is brave. It does not fly away. It flaps its wings and pecks the cat's nose. The cat yowls and runs away. + +"Yay, the bird is safe!" Ben says. He claps his hands. + +The bird looks at Lila and Ben. It winks at them and sings a happy song. Lila and Ben smile and wave at the bird. + +They are happy to watch the brave bird in the shade. +Sara likes to play with her doll, Lily. She likes to dress her up, comb her hair, and talk to her. One day, Sara and Lily go to the park with Mommy. Sara sees a big slide and wants to try it. She puts Lily on a bench and runs to the slide. + +But when Sara comes back, Lily is gone! Sara feels sad and scared. She looks around and sees a boy holding Lily. He says, "This is my doll now. She smells like mint. I like mint." Sara says, "No, that is my doll. Give her back. She is not mint, she is Lily." The boy says, "No, she is mint. She is mine." + +Sara runs to Mommy and tells her what happened. Mommy goes to the boy and says, "That is not your doll. That is Sara's doll. You have to return her. It is not nice to take things that are not yours." The boy says, "But she is mint. I want mint." Mommy says, "She is not mint. She is Lily. Sara put mint lotion on her this morning. That is why she smells like mint. But mint lotion is not for eating. It is for making skin soft. If you eat it, you will feel sick. And you will be silly." + +The boy looks at Lily and sniffs her. He says, "She is mint. But I don't want to feel sick. And I don't want to be silly." He gives Lily back to Sara. Sara says, "Thank you. I am sorry you wanted mint. But Lily is my friend. I love her." The boy says, "You're welcome. I am sorry I took your friend. I love mint. But I have some mint candy in my pocket. Do you want some?" Sara says, "Yes, please. I like mint too. But not on Lily. Can we be friends?" The boy says, "Yes, we can. My name is Ben. What is yours?" Sara says, "My name is Sara. This is Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says, "Yes, I do. Let's go to the swings." Sara, Lily, and Ben go to the swings and have fun. Mommy smiles and watches them. She is happy they are friends. +Tom and Sue are little kids who like to play. One day, they go to the park with their mom. Mom says, "You have to behave, or we will go home. Do not run away, do not fight, do not make a mess." + +Tom and Sue nod, but they do not listen. They run away from mom, they fight over the swing, they make a mess with the sand. Mom calls them, but they do not hear. They have too much fun. + +But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is angry and hungry. It sees Tom and Sue and barks. Tom and Sue are scared. They cry for mom, but mom is far away. The dog runs to them and bites them. Tom and Sue scream and bleed. + +Mom hears them and runs to them. She is sad and mad. She hugs them and takes them to the car. She says, "You did not behave, and now you are hurt. We have to go to the doctor. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Sue are sorry, but it is too late. They have a bad day. They wish they had behaved. +Lily and Max liked to play with bubbles. They had a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blew into the wand and made many bubbles. The bubbles were round and shiny and flew in the air. + +One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They had an idea. They took their bottle of soap and their wand and ran to the hill. They wanted to roll down the hill and make bubbles at the same time. + +They took turns to roll down the hill. They laughed and shouted as they rolled. They blew into the wand and made bubbles. The bubbles rolled with them and made a trail of colors. + +But there was a grumpy cat on the hill. He did not like the noise and the bubbles. He thought they were annoying and silly. He wanted to sleep in the sun. He hissed and growled at Lily and Max. + +"Go away, you noisy kids!" he said. "Stop making bubbles! They are not fun, they are stupid!" + +Lily and Max were scared of the grumpy cat. They stopped rolling and blowing bubbles. They looked at the cat with sad eyes. + +"But we like bubbles," Lily said. "They are fun and pretty. Why are you so grumpy?" + +The cat snorted and said, "Bubbles are nothing. They pop and disappear. They are useless and boring. I don't like them at all." + +Lily and Max felt sorry for the cat. They thought he was lonely and unhappy. They had an idea. They smiled and said, "We have something for you. Maybe you will like it." + +They gave the cat their bottle of soap and their wand. They showed him how to blow bubbles. They said, "Try it. It's easy and fun. You can make many bubbles. You can chase them and catch them. You can make them big or small. You can make them any color you want." + +The cat was curious. He took the bottle and the wand. He blew into the wand and made a bubble. He was surprised and amused. He blew again and made another bubble. He liked the feeling and the sound. He blew more and more bubbles. He saw them fly and sparkle in the sun. He felt happy and playful. + +He looked at Lily and Max and said, "Thank you, you nice kids. You were right. Bubbles are fun and pretty. I like them a lot. I'm sorry I was grumpy. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, we do. We are glad you are happy. Bubbles are for everyone. Let's play together." + +They played with the cat and the bubbles. They rolled down the hill and made bubbles. They chased them and caught them. They made them big and small. They made them any color they wanted. They laughed and talked and had a good time. + +The grumpy cat was not grumpy anymore. He was a happy cat. He had new friends and new fun. He liked bubbles. He liked Lily and Max. He liked himself. +Sara loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She has many books in her room, but she wants more. She sees a big book on the shelf in the library. It has a shiny cover and many pages. She wants that book. + +She goes to the shelf and takes the book. She does not ask the librarian. She does not show her card. She puts the book in her bag and runs out of the library. She thinks she is clever. + +But she is not clever. She is bad. The librarian sees her and follows her. She catches her and takes the book back. She is angry and sad. She says, "Sara, you did a bad thing. You stole the book. You did not pay for it. You did not say sorry. You should be ashamed." + +Sara feels ashamed. She knows she did a bad thing. She wants to say sorry, but she is afraid. She cries and hides her face. She wishes she did not take the book. She wishes she was good. + +The librarian sees Sara cry. She feels sorry for her. She says, "Sara, I know you love books. But you cannot take them without asking. You have to follow the rules. You have to be honest and polite. If you want a book, you can borrow it. You can show me your card and I will let you have it for a while. Then you can bring it back and get another one. That is how the library works." + +Sara listens to the librarian. She understands the rules. She says sorry to the librarian. She gives her the card and asks for the book. The librarian smiles and gives her the book. She says, "Sara, you are a good girl. You said sorry and you learned your lesson. You can have the book for a week. But you have to bring it back. And you have to be careful with it. Do not tear it or write on it. Treat it like a friend." + +Sara smiles and thanks the librarian. She hugs the book and promises to bring it back. She is happy and proud. She learned her lesson. She loves books. And she loves the library. +Lily was miserable. She had a bad cold and a sore throat. She could not go outside and play with her friends. She had to stay in bed and drink hot soup. She did not like the soup. It was too salty and bitter. + +"Please, Mommy, no more soup," she begged. "I want juice." + +Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily, you need the soup. It will make you feel better. The nurse said so. She will come and check on you soon." + +Lily pouted. She did not want the nurse to come. The nurse was nice, but she always gave her a big needle. The needle hurt a lot. Lily was afraid of the needle. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was the nurse. She smiled and came in with a tray. On the tray, there was a cup of soup, a glass of juice, and a syringe. + +"Hello, Lily," the nurse said. "How are you feeling today?" + +Lily did not answer. She hid under the covers. + +The nurse lifted the covers and looked at Lily. "Don't be shy, Lily. I'm here to help you. Let me see your throat." + +Lily opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. The nurse shone a light in her mouth and nodded. + +"Your throat is still red and swollen. You need some medicine. It will make the pain go away." + +Lily shook her head. She knew what the medicine was. It was the needle. + +"Please, no needle," she whispered. "I don't like the needle." + +The nurse sighed. She knew Lily was scared, but she had to give her the medicine. She tried to be gentle and quick. + +"It's okay, Lily. It will be over soon. Just look at the juice. It's your favorite. Orange juice. You can have it after the needle. It will be sweet and refreshing." + +Lily looked at the juice. It did look good. She liked orange juice. She wanted to drink it. But she did not want the needle. + +She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. She felt the nurse touch her arm and pinch her skin. She felt the needle poke her. She cried out. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" + +The nurse pulled out the needle and put a band-aid on her arm. She hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. + +"Good girl, Lily. You did it. You're very brave. Now you can have the juice. Here you go." + +She handed Lily the glass of juice. Lily took it and sipped it. It was cold and sweet. It made her throat feel better. She smiled a little. + +"Thank you, nurse," she said. "The juice is good." + +The nurse smiled back. "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Now you have to finish the soup, too. It will help you get well faster." + +Lily nodded. She did not like the soup, but she did not want to be miserable anymore. She wanted to be healthy and happy. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends. + +She picked up the cup of soup and poured it into her mouth. She swallowed it quickly and made a face. + +"Yuck," she said. + +The nurse laughed. "I know, Lily. The soup is not very tasty. But it's good for you. You're a good girl for drinking it." + +Lily smiled again. She felt a little better. She liked the nurse. She was nice and kind. She gave her juice and hugs. She made her feel less miserable. She hoped the nurse would come again. But without the needle. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to the festival with their mom and dad. The festival had many fun things to do. They could eat yummy food, play games, and see animals. + +Anna and Ben wanted to paint. They saw a big tent with many colors and brushes. They ran to the tent and asked the lady if they could paint. + +"Of course, you can paint," the lady said. "But you have to be careful and gentle with the brushes. They are not toys. They are tools to make beautiful pictures." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They picked up the brushes and dipped them in the colors. They started to paint on the big paper on the wall. Anna painted a flower. Ben painted a car. + +But Ben was not careful and gentle. He was rough and fast. He pushed the brush hard on the paper. He made the paper tear and the color spill. He made a big mess. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna said. "You are ruining the paper and the colors. You are not painting. You are destroying." + +"I don't care," Ben said. "I want to paint how I want. It is fun." + +The lady saw what Ben was doing. She was not happy. She came to Ben and took the brush from his hand. + +"Ben, you are not allowed to paint anymore," the lady said. "You are not respectful of the brushes, the paper, and the colors. You are not respectful of the other children who want to paint too. You have to leave the tent now." + +Ben felt angry and sad. He had to leave the tent. He could not paint anymore. He saw Anna still painting. She was careful and gentle. She made a beautiful flower. She was happy. + +Ben realized he was wrong. He wished he had listened to the lady and Anna. He wished he had been respectful and kind. He learned a lesson. He wanted to say sorry. + +"Anna, I am sorry," Ben said. "I was rough and bad. I should have been careful and gentle. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She smiled. + +"Of course, I forgive you," Anna said. "You are my brother. I love you. But next time, you have to be respectful and kind. Then you can paint and have fun too." + +Ben hugged Anna. He thanked her. He said he would be respectful and kind next time. He learned a lesson. He felt happy. +Lily and Ben wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They asked Dad to help them. Dad said yes, but they had to be careful and follow the recipe. + +They put flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk in a big bowl. They mixed them with a spoon. The mixture was smooth and sticky. Lily said, "This is the texture of the cake. It has to be fine, not lumpy." + +They poured the mixture into a round pan. They put the pan in the oven. Dad set the timer. They waited for the cake to bake. They smelled something sweet and yummy. + +The timer beeped. Dad took the pan out of the oven. He put it on a rack to cool. The cake was golden and fluffy. Ben said, "The cake looks good. Can we eat it now?" + +Dad said, "Not yet. We have to decorate it first. We have frosting, sprinkles, and candles. What do you want to put on the cake?" + +Lily and Ben chose their favorite colors and shapes. They spread the frosting on the cake. They sprinkled the sprinkles on top. They stuck the candles in the middle. They wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" with a tube of icing. + +They were proud of their cake. They hid it in the fridge. They waited for Mom to come home. They wanted to surprise her and make her happy. They hoped she would like their cake. They knew it was fine. +Tommy was very enthusiastic about going to the farm with his class. He wanted to see the sheep and pet them and feed them. He liked sheep because they were soft and white and made funny noises. + +When they arrived at the farm, the teacher told them to stay in a group and follow the farmer. The farmer showed them different animals and told them their names and what they ate. Tommy listened carefully, but he was mostly looking for the sheep. + +He saw them in a big field, behind a fence. They were many and they were eating grass and hay. Tommy ran towards them, leaving his group behind. He wanted to get closer to the sheep and touch them. + +"Tommy, wait!" the teacher called. "You can't go there without permission. Come back here!" + +But Tommy did not hear her. He climbed over the fence and entered the field. The sheep saw him and got scared. They started to run away from him, making loud noises. Tommy chased them, trying to catch one. + +"Tommy, stop!" the farmer shouted. "You are scaring the sheep. They don't like strangers. Come back here!" + +But Tommy did not listen. He kept running after the sheep, until he tripped over a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +The teacher and the farmer came to help him. They lifted him up and checked his knee. It was bleeding a little, but it was not serious. They gave him a band-aid and a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Tommy," the teacher said. "But you should have listened to me and the farmer. You can't just run after the sheep. They are not toys. They are living creatures. You have to be gentle and respectful with them." + +Tommy nodded, feeling embarrassed. He realized he had been naughty and rude. He apologized to the teacher and the farmer and the sheep. He said he would not do it again. + +The teacher and the farmer smiled and forgave him. They told him he could still see the sheep, but from a distance. They also showed him other animals that he could pet and feed, like the rabbits and the chickens. Tommy was happy and curious. He learned a lot from the farm visit. He still liked sheep, but he also liked other animals. He decided to be more careful and polite with them. He had a fun and educational day. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a ball, a car, a doll, and a mask. + +"Wow, look at this mask!" Tom says. He picks up the mask and puts it on his face. The mask is green and has big teeth. It looks like a monster. + +"Tom, you look scary!" Sam says. He laughs and claps his hands. + +"Roar!" Tom says. He pretends to be a monster and chases Sam. Sam runs away and hides behind a tree. + +"Help, help, the monster is coming!" Sam says. + +Tom runs after Sam and tries to catch him. He has fun with the mask. He does not see the leak in the box. The leak is from a bottle of water. The water is wet and cold. It drips on the mask. + +"Ah, what is this?" Tom says. He feels the water on his face. He stops and takes off the mask. He sees the water on the mask. He sees the leak in the box. + +"Oh, no, the mask is wet!" Tom says. He is sad. He likes the mask. He thinks the mask is ruined. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Sam says. He comes out from behind the tree. He sees Tom and the mask. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. The mask is wet. It has a leak." Sam says. He feels sorry for Tom. + +"It's okay, Sam. The mask is not real. It is fake." Tom says. He smiles and nods. He is not mad at Sam. He is still friends with Sam. + +"Really? The mask is fake?" Sam says. He is surprised. He looks at the mask. He sees the fake teeth and the fake eyes. + +"Yes, the mask is fake. It is just a toy. We can still play with it." Tom says. He puts the mask on his face again. He nods and winks at Sam. + +"Okay, let's play with it. But be careful of the leak." Sam says. He picks up the ball and throws it at Tom. + +"Roar!" Tom says. He catches the ball and throws it back at Sam. + +They laugh and play with the mask and the ball. They have fun with the toys. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing outside 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 named him Frosty and said he was their friend. + +But then the sun came out and it got warmer. Lily and Ben saw Frosty start to melt. They were sad and wanted to save him. They ran inside and got a big blanket. They wrapped it around Frosty and hoped he would stay cold. + +They went back inside and had some hot chocolate. They looked out the window and saw Frosty still standing. They smiled and felt happy. They decided to go back out at noon, when the sun was high, and play with him some more. + +At noon, they put on their coats and boots and ran outside. But when they got to Frosty, they saw something strange. He was not melting anymore. He was frozen solid. He looked like a statue of ice. He did not move or smile. + +Lily and Ben were confused and scared. They touched Frosty and felt how hard and cold he was. They wondered what happened to him. They missed their friend. + +They heard a loud noise and looked up. They saw a big helicopter flying over them. It had a sign that said "Snow Rescue". It had a rope and a hook. It lowered the hook and grabbed Frosty. It lifted him up and flew away. + +Lily and Ben watched as Frosty disappeared in the sky. They did not understand. They felt sad and lonely. They wished Frosty was still with them. They wished he was still soft and comfortable. They wished he was still their friend. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. It was a hot day, so they were thirsty and sweaty. They saw a water fountain near the trees. They ran to the fountain and took turns to drink. + +But then a big boy came. He was mean and rude. He pushed Ben and Lily away from the fountain. He said, "This is my water. Go away, you stupid kids. You can't have any." + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted to drink and cool down. They did not like the big boy. He was not nice. He was not fair. He was not fun. + +They had an idea. They waited for the big boy to drink. When he bent down to the fountain, they grabbed his legs and pulled. The big boy fell into the water. He got wet and splashed. He was surprised and mad. He shouted, "Hey, stop that! Let me go! You stupid kids!" + +But Ben and Lily did not stop. They laughed and laughed. They thought it was funny. They thought the big boy deserved it. They thought he was stupid. They did not care what he said. They kept pulling and splashing him until he ran away. + +Ben and Lily were happy and proud. They had taught the big boy a lesson. They had stood up for themselves. They had had fun. They drank some more water and went back to play. They did not see the big boy again. They did not miss him. They had each other. They were friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they see a big boat on the water. The boat has a sign that says "Shark Show". + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "Do you want to go and see the sharks?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Mia says. They run to the boat and buy tickets. They climb on board and find seats. + +The boat takes them to a big cage in the water. Inside the cage, there are many sharks. They are big and gray and have sharp teeth. The boat man tells them about the sharks. He says they are not bad, but they are hungry. He throws some fish into the cage. The sharks swim fast and eat the fish. + +"Ooh, look at them!" Mia says. "They are so cool!" + +"Yes, they are!" Tom says. "But I'm glad we are not in the cage!" + +The boat man says it is time for the show. He asks for a volunteer. He says the volunteer will go into the cage with the sharks. He says it is safe and fun. He says the volunteer will get a prize. + +"Who wants to go?" he asks. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They are scared. They do not want to go. They shake their heads. No one raises their hand. + +The boat man looks around. He sees a boy in the back. The boy is wearing a red hat. He is smiling. He raises his hand. + +"Great, we have a volunteer!" the boat man says. "What is your name, son?" + +"My name is Sam," the boy says. "I love sharks!" + +"Good for you, Sam!" the boat man says. "You are very brave and lucky. Come with me, and I will give you a suit and a mask. You will go into the cage with the sharks. You will have a great time!" + +Tom and Mia watch as Sam follows the boat man. They are amazed. They think Sam is crazy. They hope he will be okay. + +The boat man helps Sam put on the suit and the mask. He opens the door of the cage. He tells Sam to go inside. Sam nods and jumps into the water. He swims with the sharks. He is not afraid. He is happy. + +Tom and Mia see Sam on a screen. The screen shows what Sam sees. They see the sharks up close. They see their eyes and their fins and their teeth. They hear Sam talk to the boat man. + +"Wow, this is awesome!" Sam says. "The sharks are so cool! They are my friends!" + +"Good job, Sam!" the boat man says. "You are doing great! You are the star of the show!" + +Tom and Mia are shocked. They cannot believe Sam is having fun. They think he is very lucky. They hope the sharks do not bite him. + +The show is over. The boat man tells Sam to come back. He opens the door of the cage. Sam swims back. He climbs out of the water. He takes off the suit and the mask. He is smiling. He is not hurt. + +The boat man gives Sam a prize. It is a big stuffed shark. Sam hugs the shark. He is happy. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Sam says. "This was the best day ever! I love sharks!" + +The boat man says Sam is welcome. He says Sam is very brave and lucky. He says Sam is the best volunteer ever. He says everyone should applaud for Sam. + +Tom and Mia clap their hands. They are glad Sam is okay. They are impressed by Sam. They think he is very brave and lucky. They think he is a little crazy, too. + +They say goodbye to Sam and the boat man. They go back to the beach. They play with their sand castles and shells. They do not want to go into the cage with the sharks. They are happy to watch them from afar. +Tom is a frog who likes to jump and play. He has many friends in the pond, but he wants to see more of the world. He wishes he can fly like the birds in the sky. + +One day, he sees a big leaf on the water. He thinks it is a boat. He hops on the leaf and hopes it will take him far away. But the leaf is not a boat. It is a hat. A man lost his hat in the wind and it fell in the pond. + +The wind blows the hat with Tom on it. Tom is scared. He does not like to fly. He feels dizzy and sick. He wants to go back to the pond. He tries to jump off the hat, but he is clumsy. He slips and falls into the water. + +Tom is wet and cold. He swims to the shore. He sees his friends waiting for him. They are happy to see him. They hug him and tell him they missed him. Tom is happy to see them too. He tells them he does not want to fly anymore. He likes to jump and play in the pond. He thinks flying is for birds, not for frogs. +Sara and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Sara is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Sara counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around and tries to find Tom. + +She sees a big tree with many leaves. She thinks Tom might be hidden behind the tree. She walks to the tree and says, "Tom, are you there?" But she hears no answer. She looks behind the tree and sees nothing. + +She sees a bush with many flowers. She thinks Tom might be hidden under the bush. She crawls to the bush and says, "Tom, are you there?" But she hears no answer. She looks under the bush and sees nothing. + +She sees a bench with a blanket. She thinks Tom might be hidden under the blanket. She runs to the bench and says, "Tom, are you there?" But she hears no answer. She lifts the blanket and sees something. + +She sees a dog with brown fur. The dog is sleeping on the bench. The dog wakes up and looks at Sara. The dog wags its tail and licks Sara's face. Sara laughs and says, "You are not Tom. You are a dog. You have fur. You are cute." + +The dog barks and jumps off the bench. The dog runs to the other side of the park. Sara follows the dog and sees Tom. Tom is hidden behind a slide. Tom sees Sara and the dog. Tom says, "Sara, you found me. And you found a dog. The dog is funny. The dog can move fast." + +Sara and Tom hug the dog and say, "We like you, dog. You are our friend. You can play with us." The dog barks and wags its tail. The dog is happy. Sara and Tom are happy. They play hide and seek with the dog. They have fun. +Lily was playing in the garden with her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a fairy who could do magic. She made up stories about the fairy and the flowers and the birds. She was having fun. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was her big brother Tom. He was riding his bike very fast. He saw Lily and her doll and he laughed. He said, "What are you doing, Lily? That's not a fairy, that's a silly toy. Fairies are not real. You are a baby." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, Tom, you are wrong. My doll is a fairy and she is my friend. Fairies are real and they are nice. You are mean and rude." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "Oh, yeah? Prove it. Show me some magic. I bet you can't. You are just making things up. You are a liar." + +Lily did not know what to do. She wished her doll could do magic and make Tom go away. She was frightened of Tom and his bike. She hugged her doll and said, "Please, fairy, help me." + +Then something amazing happened. The doll glowed and sparkled. She flew out of Lily's arms and into the air. She said, "Don't worry, Lily, I am here. I am a real fairy and I will protect you. Tom, you are very naughty. You should not tease and bully your sister. You should be kind and gentle. Or else I will turn you into a frog." + +Tom was shocked and scared. He saw the fairy and he could not believe his eyes. He said, "What? How? Who are you? Are you really a fairy?" + +The fairy said, "Yes, I am. And you should be sorry for what you did. Say sorry to Lily and promise to be nice to her. Or I will use my magic on you." + +Tom did not want to be a frog. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, fairy. I was wrong. I will be nice to you. Please don't turn me into a frog." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be nice to me and my doll. She is a fairy and she is my friend. And fairies are real and they are nice." + +The fairy said, "That's right, Lily. You are a good and brave girl. And you have a big imagination. That's why I came to you. I like to play with you and your stories. But you have to keep me a secret. Only you can see me and hear me. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, fairy. I understand. You are my secret friend. And I love you." + +The fairy said, "I love you too, Lily. And I will always be with you. But now I have to go. I have to do some fairy things. But I will come back soon. Just call my name and I will hear you. My name is Rose." + +Lily said, "Bye, Rose. Thank you for helping me. Come back soon." + +Rose said, "Bye, Lily. You are welcome. I will come back soon. Have fun and be happy." + +Rose flew away and disappeared. Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. Tom hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are not a baby. You are a smart and sweet girl. And your doll is very special. Can we play together?" + +Lily said, "Yes, Tom. We can play together. But you have to be careful with my doll. She is a fairy and she is my friend. And her name is Rose." + +Tom said, "Okay, Lily. I will be careful. And I will be nice. Can I guess what kind of magic she can do?" + +Lily said, "Sure, Tom. You can guess. But you will never know. Because she is a secret." + +They laughed and played together in the garden. They were happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben wanted to fly their kite in the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to dress warm. It was cold and windy outside. + +Lily and Ben ran to their room. They put on their coats, hats, scarves and gloves. They looked like snowmen. They felt uncomfortable. They could not move their arms and legs well. They did not like their clothes. + +They grabbed their kite and went to the door. Mom stopped them. She said they forgot their boots. They had to take off their shoes and put on their boots. They felt more uncomfortable. They did not like their boots. + +They finally went outside. They ran to the park. They saw a big hill. They wanted to fly their kite from the top. They started to climb the hill. They felt very uncomfortable. They were hot and sweaty. They could not breathe well. They did not like their warm clothes. + +They reached the top of the hill. They tried to fly their kite. But the wind was too strong. The kite flew away.

She said they could make a new kite. She said they could take off their warm clothes. They felt happy. They liked their mom. +Ben and Mia are playing in the backyard. They see a big tree with many apples. They want to pick some apples for a snack. + +"Look, Ben, there is a red apple up there. Can you get it for me?" Mia asks. + +Ben nods and finds a tool. It is a long stick with a hook at the end. He thinks it can help him reach the apple. He holds the tool and walks to the tree. + +He tries to hook the apple with the tool, but it is too high. He jumps and stretches, but he cannot get it. He tries harder and harder, but he loses his balance. He falls to the ground with a thud. The tool falls on his head and makes a bump. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He holds his head and feels pain. + +Mia runs to him and sees the bump. She feels sorry for him. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" + +Ben sniffles and nods. He says, "I'm okay, Mia. It was an accident. Don't be sorry." + +Mia smiles and says, "Let's go inside and get some ice for your bump. Maybe Mom has some other apples for us." + +Ben agrees and says, "Okay, Mia. Let's go." + +They hold hands and walk to the house. They leave the tool and the apple behind. They are still friends. +Sara was a shy girl who liked to wear hats. She had many hats of different colors and shapes. She wore them to school, to the park, and to bed. She felt happy and safe in her hats. + +One day, Sara went to the zoo with her class. She wore her favorite hat, a blue one with a flower. She was excited to see the animals, but also a little scared. She stayed close to her teacher and her friends. + +At the zoo, Sara saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. She liked them all, but she loved the penguins the most. They were black and white and funny. They swam and slid and waddled. Sara wanted to see them closer, so she climbed on a rock near the fence. + +But then, a big wind came and blew her hat off her head. It flew over the fence and landed in the penguin pool. Sara gasped and cried. She wanted her hat back. She was afraid the penguins would take it or tear it. + +"Help! Help!" she shouted. "My hat! My hat!" + +The teacher and the other kids heard her and ran to her. They saw her hat in the water, surrounded by curious penguins. They tried to reach it, but it was too far. + +"Don't worry, Sara," the teacher said. "We'll get your hat back. We'll ask the zookeeper for help." + +The zookeeper came and saw the problem. He smiled and said, "Don't be scared, Sara. The penguins won't hurt your hat. They're just curious. They like hats too. Watch this." + +He took off his own hat, a green one with a feather, and threw it in the pool. The penguins swam to it and played with it. They tossed it and caught it and wore it. They looked very silly and happy. + +Sara stopped crying and started laughing. She saw her hat and the zookeeper's hat on the penguins' heads. She thought they looked cute and funny. She was not scared anymore. She was glad. + +"Thank you, zookeeper," she said. "You're very nice. Can I have my hat back, please?" + +The zookeeper nodded and whistled. He called the penguins by their names and asked them to give back the hats. The penguins obeyed and brought the hats to the edge of the pool. The zookeeper picked them up and gave them to Sara and himself. + +"Here you go, Sara," he said. "Your hat is safe and dry. I hope you enjoyed the penguins. They enjoyed your hat too." + +Sara smiled and put on her hat. She thanked the zookeeper again and hugged her teacher and her friends. She was happy and proud. She had seen the penguins closer, and she had made a new friend. She was not shy anymore. She was brave. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big wheel. It has many seats and goes round and round. Lily and Tom want to ride the big wheel. + +They run to the man who sells tickets. He says, "One ticket is two coins. You need two tickets to ride the big wheel." Lily and Tom look in their pockets. They only have one coin each. + +"Oh no," Lily says. "We don't have enough coins. What can we do?" + +Tom thinks. He is clever. He says, "I have an idea. Let's pray. Maybe God will help us." + +Lily nods. They close their eyes and fold their hands. They pray, "Dear God, please help us. We want to ride the big wheel. It looks fun. Can you give us one more coin? Thank you. Amen." + +They open their eyes and look around. They see a shiny coin on the ground. They pick it up and smile. They have enough coins now. + +"Wow," Lily says. "God heard us. He gave us a coin. He is good." + +"Yes," Tom says. "He is good. And you are clever. You prayed with me." + +They hug and run to the man. They give him their coins and get their tickets. They ride the big wheel and have a lot of fun. They thank God for their gift.

Sometimes they picked up twigs and pretended they were swords or wands. + +One day, they saw a big pile of twigs near a bench. They ran to the pile and started to look for the best twigs. Lila found a long, straight twig that was good for a sword. Tom found a short, crooked twig that was good for a wand. + +"Look, Lila, I have a magic wand!" Tom said. He waved his twig and said, "Abracadabra!" + +"Look, Tom, I have a sword!" Lila said. She swung her twig and said, "En garde!" + +They played with their twigs, pretending to fight and cast spells. They had so much fun that they did not notice their mom calling them. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to go home!" their mom said. She walked to the pile of twigs and saw Lila and Tom. "What are you doing with those twigs?" + +"They are not twigs, mom, they are swords and wands!" Lila and Tom said. + +"Well, they are very nice, but you can't take them home. They belong to the park. You have to leave them here for other kids to play with," their mom said. + +Lila and Tom looked sad. They liked their twigs. They did not want to give them up. + +"Can we keep them, mom, please?" they asked. + +"No, you can't. They are not available. They are part of nature. You have to respect nature and share with others. Besides, you have plenty of toys at home. Come on, let's go," their mom said. + +Lila and Tom sighed. They knew their mom was right. They put their twigs back on the pile and said goodbye to them. + +"Bye, sword. Bye, wand. Thank you for the fun," they said. + +They held their mom's hand and walked away.

He had bad dreams, nightmares, that made him cry and scream. He wanted his mommy and daddy to stay with him. + +One night, he had a very bad nightmare. He dreamed that a big monster was chasing him and wanted to eat him. He ran and ran, but the monster was faster. He felt the monster's breath on his neck. He was so scared that he woke up. + +He opened his eyes and saw the dark shadows in his room. He thought the monster was still there. He reached for his teddy bear, his best friend, and hugged him tight. He wanted to call his mommy and daddy, but he was too afraid to make a sound. + +Then, he heard a soft knock on his door. It was his mommy. She came in and turned on the light. She saw Timmy's scared face and wet pillow. She walked to his bed and sat down. She smiled and said, "What's wrong, Timmy? Did you have a bad dream?" + +Timmy nodded and sobbed. He told his mommy about the monster. His mommy listened and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Timmy. It was just a dream. There is no monster here. You are safe and loved. Mommy and daddy are here for you. Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?" + +Timmy nodded again and snuggled with his mommy.

He closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, mommy. I love you." + +His mommy kissed his forehead and said, "I love you too, Timmy. Sweet dreams." She stayed with him until he fell asleep. She turned off the light and left the door open. She smiled and whispered, "Good night, my brave boy." +Sara and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But there was a problem. A fat mosquito was flying around them. It wanted to bite them and make them itch. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Sara said. "You are bad and mean!" + +But the mosquito did not listen. It flew closer and closer to Sara. It landed on her arm and bit her. Sara felt a sting and a bump. + +"Ow!" Sara cried. "It hurts!" + +Tom saw what happened. He was angry at the mosquito. He wanted to help Sara. He ran to her and slapped the mosquito hard. The mosquito fell to the ground and did not move. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, thank you, Tom," Sara said. "You are brave and kind!" + +They hugged each other and smiled. They did not like the fat mosquito. But they liked each other very much. They went back to playing and having fun. +Tim and Mia went to the zoo with their mom.

But she felt nervous. She thought the elephants were too big and loud. She did not like their long noses and big ears. She held her mom's hand and stayed close to her. + +"Mom, can we go see the monkeys?" she asked. "I don't like the elephants. They are scary." + +Mom hugged Mia and said, "It's okay, Mia. The elephants are not scary. They are gentle and smart. They can do tricks and make sounds. Do you want to see them do a trick?" + +Mia nodded, but she still felt nervous. Mom took Tim and Mia to the other side of the fence, where a zookeeper was waiting. The zookeeper smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see the elephants do a trick?" + +Tim clapped his hands and said, "Yes, please!" + +The zookeeper whistled and the big elephant came closer. He lifted his trunk and sprayed water in the air. Tim and Mia laughed and got wet. The zookeeper gave the elephant a treat and said, "Good boy, Raja. You are a star!" + +The elephant made a happy sound and waved his trunk. Tim and Mia waved back. Mia felt less nervous and more curious. She asked the zookeeper, "Can I touch his nose?" + +The zookeeper said, "Sure, if you are gentle. Raja likes to be petted." + +Mia let go of her mom's hand and walked slowly to the elephant. She reached out and touched his trunk. It was soft and wrinkly. The elephant sniffed her hand and tickled her palm.

One day, they saw a big, tall freezer in the corner. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. + +They pulled the handle and the door opened.

What have you been doing?" she asked. + +"Mom, Ben ate the cake from the freezer and it made him suffer," Lily said. + +Mom looked surprised and worried. She took Ben in her arms and said, "Oh, Ben, you poor thing. That cake was for Grandma's birthday. It was frozen to keep it fresh. You can't eat it like that. It will hurt your mouth. Here, let me see." + +She checked Ben's mouth and saw that it was red and swollen. She gave him some water and a kiss. + +"Don't worry, Ben. It will get better soon. Next time, don't eat anything from the freezer without asking me first, OK?" she said. + +"OK, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't do it again," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "It's OK, Ben. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful. The freezer is not a toy. It's for keeping things cold. And the cake is for sharing with Grandma. She will be here soon. Do you want to help me decorate it?" + +"Yes, Mom. I do," Ben said. + +"Me too, Mom. I do," Lily said. + +Mom nodded and said, "OK, then. Let's go to the kitchen and make the cake beautiful. And then we can have some after we sing happy birthday to Grandma. How does that sound?" + +"Good, Mom. Good," Ben and Lily said. + +They followed Mom to the kitchen and forgot about their troubles.

She gives him a hug. + +"It hurts!" Tim says. He shows Liz his knee. + +"I have a band-aid in my pocket. I can put it on your knee. It will make it better," Liz says. She takes out a band-aid and sticks it on Tim's knee. + +"Thank you, Liz. You are very kind," Tim says. He smiles and hugs Liz back. + +"You're welcome, Tim. You are my friend," Liz says. + +They look at the feathers on the ground. They are all over the place. They are not tidy. + +"We should pick up the feathers.

We don't want to fall in," Tom says. + +They walk to the edge of the pond. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks and fish. The ducks and fish come closer and eat the bread. Tom and Sue are happy. + +"Can I touch one, Sue? They look so soft and nice," Tom says. + +"I don't know, Tom. They might be scared or bite you. Maybe we should just watch them," Sue says. + +But Tom is curious. He reaches out his hand to touch a duck. The duck is startled and quacks loudly. It flaps its wings and splashes water on Tom. Tom loses his balance and falls into the pond. + +"Tom! Tom!" Sue screams. She runs to get help. + +Tom is scared and cold. He tries to swim to the shore, but the water is too deep. He feels something pull his leg. It is a fish. The fish thinks Tom is food. Tom kicks the fish and manages to free his leg. He sees a big stick floating on the water. He grabs the stick and uses it to push himself to the shore. + +Sue comes back with a man. The man helps Tom out of the pond. He wraps Tom in a towel and gives him a hug. + +"Are you OK, Tom? You are very brave," the man says. + +"I'm OK, thank you. I'm sorry, Sue. I was silly. I should have listened to you," Tom says. + +"It's OK, Tom. I'm glad you are fine. You are my friend.

It will take us to the other side and back." + +But they were wrong. The boat was not reliable and strong. It was old and weak. The holes got bigger and bigger, and the water got inside. The boat started to sink and the water started to soak them. + +Sara and Tom were scared and shouted, "Help! Help! We are sinking! We are soaking!" + +But no one heard them. No one was near the lake. They were alone and in trouble. They tried to swim, but the water was deep and cold. They got tired and cold. They could not reach the shore. They drowned in the lake. + +The moral of the story is: Do not trust things that are old and broken. They can fail and hurt you. Always check and fix things before you use them. And do not go too far from the shore, where you can be safe and seen. +Lily was a little bird who liked to fly and sing. She had a nest in a big tree with her mama and papa.

He thanked the doctor for helping him and ran back to his friends as fast as he could. From then on, Yellow was feeling much better and was able to enjoy swimming in the lake with his friends again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Daisy.

It was so cute! + +Daisy asked her mom, “Can I test the bathtub?†+ +Her mom smiled and said, “Yes, of course you can! But you must be careful.†+ +Daisy was excited and wanted to try it out right away. She hopped in the bathtub. She loved the soft and fluffy feeling of the bathtub. She started to splash some water around. The water felt cool and she smiled. + +Daisy enjoyed testing the bathtub. She laughed and smiled the whole time. Daisy's mom was happy to see her so happy. + +When Daisy had tested the bathtub enough, she clambered out and said goodbye to it.

They put the gray cable in their bag and went out the door. Sammy was so happy to help his dad find the things that he wanted to count everything around them. They found five big trees, six birds, and seven clouds in the sky. His dad gave him a big smile and said, "We did it! You are a great helper Sammy." Sammy felt so proud! +Once upon a time, there was a sheep farm. The farmer urged the sheep to stay inside the fenced area. He was very polite to them, and spoke softly. He gave them treats whenever he visited them. + +One day, a sheep wanted to explore outside the fence. She urged her friends to come along with her. All of the sheep gathered around the fence and eagerly waited for the farmer to open the gate. + +The farmer warned them to stay inside the fence, but the sheep were too curious to listen. So the farmer opened the gate and the sheep quickly ran out into the open field. + +The farmer followed them, still urging them to come back. Finally, the sheep returned to the fence. The farmer smiled, thanked them for being so polite, and gave them all treats. + +The sheep were happy, and they never went outside the fence again! They stayed safe and content on the farm, always eagerly awaiting the arrival of their friendly and polite farmer. +Once upon a time, there was a small rabbit. He was always looking for something new and fun to do. + +One day, he saw a big cable. He thought it looked really fun to skip on.

It was full of old notes, photos and stories that reminded her of all the wonderful moments she'd shared with her family. + +"What could be in here?" Sofia thought as she opened the box. She touched the white pages and realized it contained stories her grandmother had told her when she was just a little kid. Sofia smiled and decided to share these stories with her own child one day. + +The stories were so fascinating that Sofia was wide awake all day! She was so grateful for these memories, and soon began to write her own. +Once there was a little child named Joe. He was very independent and loved to do things his own way. + +One day, Joe's mom told him he couldn't have meat for lunch unless he allowed her to help him. But Joe wanted to do everything on his own, so he said no. + +Joe's mom got mad and he got sad. The problem was that Joe was so independent that he thought he could do it all on his own. But he couldn't and he ended up not having any lunch. + +The moral of the story is that it's OK to be independent, but sometimes you need to allow others to help you in order to achieve success. +Once upon a time there was a chain. The chain was made of three parts, but each part was broken. The chain wanted to be together, but it was careless and didn't know how to fix itself. + +One day, the chain saw a bird in the sky.

They just need to match the broken parts together like the match boxes. The chain was no longer careless, but very careful and kind. + +The End. +It was a bright and sunny day.

He did not understand what they meant. + +But Mommy did; she had seen the words before. They were a warning sign. She knew that something bad was coming soon and that Johny needed to be prepared. That was when she decided to tell Johny the story of why the book was smelly. + +It turned out that the book was really old and had been there for a long time. It was so smelly because it had been sitting there for so long without being read. But Mommy had decided that Johny should finally read it - because this book was hiding a very important secret! + +Johny listened attentively as his mother told him what had happened and what was going to happen. By the time his mother was finished telling him the story, little Johny knew exactly what the two strange +Once upon a time, there was a mighty hose in the garden. It was always pushing out strong streams of water, so the flowers and grass looked nice. + +One day, the hose hadn't been used in a while, and it started to rot. The more it rotted, the weaker the water became, and the dirtier the garden looked. + +Fred, a 3 year-old, saw the garden, and frowned. He knew that the mighty hose was what kept the garden so nice, so he took it upon himself to fix it. He went up to the hose and said: "I'm gonna make you strong again!" + +Fred was determined to fix the hose and give the garden some extra love.

"Can I hold it?" + +"Sure," said Lily, and she lent Daisy the wand. Daisy waved it around and nothing happened. + +"What a disappointment," said Daisy. + +Lily realized that her mommy was right. The magic wand could only be used to do good things, so she decided to use it to help Daisy. + +"Let me show you something," said Lily. + +Lily used the wand to make some beautiful daisies appear in Daisy's garden.

It was red and had a zipper on one side. + +A little girl was curious about the box. She wanted to see what was inside it.

This made the environment sour and they stopped having fun. + +The oldest friend was deeply saddened by this. He tried to encourage the others to have fun and enjoy the game, but they kept ignoring him. Seeing their lack of enthusiasm, the oldest friend eventually stopped playing too. + +The moral of the story is that competitions don't bring friends closer, but instead drive them apart. Whenever we have fun, we should encourage each other to enjoy the moment instead of trying to get the highest score. +Once upon a time, there was a family of four. They were a very happy family and they loved one another dearly. + +One day, they went to the park to have a picnic. While they were there, they saw a big white scale in the middle of the park.

It said, "John, why are you doing this? You should use your talents in another way. Stop pointing your gun around and quit being so ignorant." + +John realized how wrong he was, so he put down his gun and apologized to the elephant for scaring it. From that day on, John used his talents and knowledge to help people instead of making them afraid. + +The moral of the story is to think before you act and don’t be ignorant. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it. Quit being ignorant and think about the consequences of your actions! +Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man.

He said, "Let's have a contest. Whoever can stay up here the longest gets a prize!" Joey was very brave and he said, "I'll win!" + +So the contest began. As time went on, Joey started to feel very scared. He was about to give up when an idea came to him. He said, "I have a better idea. Let's climb down together and get an ice cream. We can both be winners." + +Ben smiled and said, "You win!" He had never seen his little brother so brave. + +That afternoon, the two brothers enjoyed their ice cream in the sunshine, feeling proud and happy that they had dared to go high. +Once upon a time there was a girl who loved to swim.

Radishes are too spicy for you.†+ +The little boy was so sorry, but he still had fun gathering the radish. He put it in a pot with some flowers and plants he had gathered as well. Every day, he went to his pot and looked at the radishes and flowers he had gathered. +Once upon a time, there were two sisters; Susie and Jenny. Susie was always so helpful, but Jenny was lazy and helpless. Susie took care of her and even tried to help her with her school work. + +One day, Susie asked Jenny to help out around the house, but Jenny refused. She just started watching TV and said she was going to quit helping out. + +Susie was very angry with her sister and said, "You know, if you don't help out, things will just get worse. You should never quit if you really want to be successful." + +Jenny didn't say anything and just kept watching TV. + +After a while, Susie decided to try and help Jenny in a different way. She gave her sister encouragement and helped her with her work. Susie showed her that with hard work and dedication, Jenny could achieve anything she wanted. + +At the end of the day, Jenny realized that quitting was not the answer and mustered up the courage to try again. Susie smiled and said, "You should never give up; there's always a way to succeed." + +The moral of the story is that no matter how helpless you feel, you should always try and find ways to succeed. Don't give up; interest and dedication can help you reach your goals. +Once upon a time, there was a kind radish who wanted to go swimming. He asked around for other radishes to join him, but nobody agreed. The kind radish was sad, so he decided to swim by himself. + +The kind radish made his way down to the pond. He slowly waded into the water, enjoying the coolness around him. Suddenly, he spotted a large trout swimming forward. He quickly swam out of the way, but the trout kept swimming closer and closer. + +The kind radish was scared, he didn't know what to do. Then he noticed that the trout had a rope caught in its mouth.

He continued to walk a little further, and the ringing kept getting louder. + +The boy finally arrived at a clearing and saw a telephone booth in the middle of it. He walked up to the booth and picked up the receiver. He heard a voice asking if anyone was listening. + +The voice said, "If you do not come with us right now, something very bad will happen."

He had not yielded, and now he never would have his beloved jewel. Sam was sad and felt quite scared. He knew that he must be very careful if he wanted his adventures to end in a good way. +Once upon a time, there was an old lady who had a very special pillow. Every day when something bad happened she hugged her pillow, and felt better. + +One day, the old lady was feeling very serious. She sat in her chair, hugged her pillow and thought about what to do.

The girl hugged the pillow and smiled. + +The old lady felt a lot better. She knew that she had done the right thing. She waved goodbye to the little girl and went home with a big smile. +Once upon a time, there were two friends. One was a tiny gray mouse, and the other a loyal dog.

Can you help me look?†+ +The tall rabbit was happy to help. He and the small bunny started looking everywhere. They looked in the trees and behind the bushes.

It was so beautiful - it shone bright and tall, and the tall rabbit was amazed. The small bunny said, “This is what I was looking for. Let's take it back home.†+ +So the tall rabbit and the small bunny took the flower and started hopping through the woods, more happily than before.

His favourite game was to print pictures. He loved to see how graceful the pictures were. He often played with colours and shapes that were perfect. + +One day while he was printing, he got an order from his mum. She wanted him to stop playing and start tidying his room. John didn't want to do it. He begged her to let him play. + +"No John," she said. "You must tidy your room first." + +John tried to find ways to get around his mum's order. But no matter what, she wouldn't change her decision. In the end, John had to finish tidying his room before he could start playing again. He felt so sad, but he knew his mum had to be obeyed. + +The next day, John was feeling a little bit better. He got out his paper and coloured pencils and was ready to print.

When he asked her why she was sad, the girl said, "I just lost my favorite umbrella and now I won't ever get it back". Bob knew immediately what had happened and he felt guilty. He said, "I'm sorry.

While she was gone Mia kept urging her mom to return quickly, so they could play together in the park. + +Finally, Mia's mom came back with a surprise. It was a new apron, even bigger and brighter than Mia's old one.

"It's just a big bird, nothing to worry about." + +Molly wiped her tears and smiled at her mommy. She slowly stepped back onto her sock and began to balance without any fear. But before she could finish, the big scary bird swooped down and grabbed her sock with its sharp claws. + +Molly screamed as she watched her sock fly away.

As she did this, one of her freinds accidentally tore the box. Sue gasped at the noise and ran over to fix it.

He started flapping his wings furiously and ever so slowly, he lifted off the ground. + +Just as the caterpillar found himself mid-air, there was a loud crack of thunder and the branch he had been standing on broke off. Quickly, he started to lose air, while the broken branch slowly made it's way to the ground. + +Seeing that his friends were in danger, the caterpillar quickly flew towards the branch.

He says it's dangerous to take a nap in an unfamiliar place." + +But Tom didn't listen. He decided to take a nap in the forest, and soon he was snoring loudly. Joe was worried, but he was too tired to stay awake and watch his friend. + +Just as he drifted off to sleep, Joe felt something poking him in the back. He opened his eyes and saw a serious figure standing over him. + +"What do you have to say for yourself?" said the figure. "You should never have let your friend take a nap here! Don't be so careless, or you might get into trouble next time." + +Joe and Tom were very scared, so they quickly said goodbye and ran away. + +The moral of this story is to always be careful.

Joe understood that he should not be too noisy and nodded his head. + +Just then, Joe's friend Tom came over. Tom said, "Let me hear your whistle, Joe!"

The sky was filled with stars, and it was beautiful. + +Freda understood why the berries disappeared the night before.

He was just about to turn back home when he remembered something his mother had told him: “If ever you find yourself in a tough situation, use your own battery of courage.†+ +Baby Bunny took a deep breath and stepped into the tunnel. Nothing happened. He kept going until he eventually came out the other side. When he looked back at the tunnel, he saw that it was just an ordinary tunnel, like any other. + +Baby Bunny had faced his fears and learnt a valuable lesson: being brave is not about taking big risks or being extraordinary, it’s about daring to do the ordinary things that scare us in life. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Becky and her uncle. Every day they would plan what they were going to do together. + +"What do you think we should do today, Uncle?" said Becky. + +"Hmmm, what do you think we should do?" said her uncle. + +Becky thought for a moment before she said "Let's go to the park!

It was a fun and exciting day! +Once upon a time there lived a big dragon. He was enormous and strong. He wanted to paint the walls in his house but he needed a ladder to reach the ceiling. + +So the dragon set off to find a ladder. He searched and searched but could not find one. Until he came across a small scale. He smiled and thought it could help him reach the ceiling. + +He grabbed the scale and went back to his house. He put it next to the wall, stepped on it and started to paint the walls. + +Suddenly he heard a voice, "What are you doing?" The dragon was surprised and looked behind him. There was a little girl with bright eyes. The dragon smiled and said,"I am painting my walls, but I need a ladder to reach the ceiling, so I am using this scale." + +The little girl smiled and said, "That's a wonderful idea! I have an enormous ladder at home. Would you like to borrow it?" + +The dragon said, "Yes, please! That would be very helpful. Thank you so much!" + +The little girl ran home to get the ladder and the dragon finished painting his walls. + +The dragon was so happy that he went back to the little girl's house and told her to use the scale whenever she needed help to reach something. + +From that day on, the little girl and the dragon were the best of friends. +Once there was a little boy named Timmy. He was three years old and he loved to play. One day, Timmy's mommy said it was time for a bath. Timmy put on his colorful bathrobe and skipped off to the bathroom. + +When Timmy reached the bathroom, his eyes widened. A giant, fluffy towel waited for him on the rack! Timmy blinked in disbelief. He touched the towel and it felt so soft. + +"Wow!" said Timmy. "What a yummy looking towel!" + +Just then, Timmy heard a loud crash outside. He rushed over to the window and peered out. He saw his mommy had dropped a jar full of candy. The candy was all over the ground! + +Suddenly Timmy realized what he could do. He grabbed the yummy looking towel and ran outside. He used the towel to pick up every piece of candy and put it back in the jar. + +When his mommy saw what he had done she smiled. "Thank you, my sweet boy," she said and hugged him tight. + +From then on, Timmy realized that it was better to use his things the way they were meant to be used. He kept his towel inside the bathroom to use after his baths, but he never forgot about the time he used it to help his mommy. +The little girl took her dad to the museum. They had a lot of fun exploring the different things. They played hide and seek in the big galleries. The little girl laughed and giggled, she was very happy. + +But then, when they were in the middle of a room, the little girl lost her dad. It was too big and there were too many people! The little girl was scared. + +She looked everywhere, but she couldn't find him. It felt like forever before he finally called out to her. He had been so peaceful, sitting in a corner of the room, that she had missed him! + +The little girl was so relieved when she finally saw him again. They hugged each other and laughed. They left the museum together and vowed never to get lost again. +Once upon a time there was a little girl and a little boy. The two were walking in the forest, when they saw a big, soft tree. The girl had an idea, and said to the boy: "Let's try to climb the tree". + +The boy replied: "Good idea! But how can we get up there? The tree is very tall and I cannot find any branches to help us". + +The girl then suggested that they should search for a special switch. Together they looked around and eventually found a small switch. When they pressed it, the trunk of the tree opened to reveal a staircase. + +The boy said: "Awesome! Let's try it". And they carefully climbed the staircase. At the top, they found a big, soft bed of clouds which they could use to play and rest. + +The girl and the boy had a good time up in the tree and the adventure was one that they would never forget. +Once upon a time, there was a great knight. He was on a mission to rescue all the ice-cream in the world! He rode off on his great horse, ready for the challenge. + +All day long, he searched for ice-cream. He searched high and low, but he couldn't find any! The knight was feeling sad, until he heard a voice. It said, "I have the ice-cream!" + +The knight followed the voice and it led him to a castle. Inside, he found the source of the voice - it was a dragon! The dragon was guarding a huge pile of ice-cream! + +The knight was very brave and he fought the dragon. After a tough battle, the knight won and he rescued all the ice-cream! The knight was very happy and he shared the ice-cream with everyone. + +And they all lived happily ever after! +One day in the mild sun, a wave sprang up from the sea. It was so high and strong, it almost reached the sky! The wave came closer and closer, until it reached the beach. But instead of crashing, it made a gentle splash and moved further along the coast. + +A few birds were swimming in the calm wave and they were having so much fun. They were soaring and playing tag in the mild wind. One of them, a little seagull, decided to join in the fun. He started springing from one wave to another and he was laughing from joy. + +The wave continued to move closer to land, bringing lots of fun and joy. The seagull was so excited, he wanted to keep springing higher and higher. Eventually, the wave washed up onto the beach, leaving the sand damp and warm. The seagull rested there, grateful for all the fun he had. +Once upon a time there was a gifted little girl. She was only three years old. + +One day, the little girl was hanging out in the garden. Her dad was there too and he was watching her with a big smile on his face. + +Suddenly, the little girl said something that surprised him. She said, “Daddy, I can speak two languages." + +Her dad was amazed! He said, “This is incredible! You’re so gifted! What are the languages you can speak?†+ +The little girl smiled and said, “English and French.†+ +Her dad was so proud and he gave her a big hug. He said, “You’re so amazing. I’m so proud of you!†+ +The little girl was so happy. She even hung onto her dad for a minute longer. From that day on, she was even more proud of her language skills. +Alice wanted to go outside, so she stepped out of the house. The sun was bright and the sky was pale. She ran to the park and saw lots of food. She grabbed a few pieces of food and started to eat them. They were yummy! + +Alice kept stepping until she reached the playground. There was a bright yellow slide and a pale green swing. She went down the slide and then hopped on the swing. She enjoyed swinging back and forth. Then she stepped onto the merry-go-round and held onto the handle. The merry-go-round spun round and round until she felt dizzy. + +Alice stepped off the merry-go-round and gathered more food to take home. As she walked back to her house, she ate all the food. By the time she stepped inside, all the food was gone. She had a full tummy and a big smile on her face! +One day Sally was feeling very eager. She wanted to create something with her hands. Suddenly she had an idea. She called out to her mom.
