"I'm the only one who can watch the opera. I don't want you to take it away from me." + +Sam was very sad at this, but he managed to smile. "Please," he said. "Can I just watch one show? Just once? I promise I won't take away any of your fun." + +Lucy thought about it for a minute before she finally agreed to let him try. From that moment onwards, Sam and Lucy both enjoyed the opera together.

It was long and thin and had a label on it. The label said "flexible ruler". Lily and Ben did not know what that meant. They decided to try it out. + +They took the flexible ruler and bent it into different shapes. They made a circle, a triangle, a square, and a star. They had fun with the flexible ruler. They whispered to each other, "This is a magic ruler. It can do anything we want." + +But they did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was curious and hungry. He thought the flexible ruler was a toy or a snack. He waited for a chance to grab it. + +When Lily and Ben were busy making a heart shape, Spot jumped and snatched the flexible ruler from their hands. He ran away with it, wagging his tail. Lily and Ben were shocked and angry. They chased after him, shouting, "Spot, no! Give it back! That's our magic ruler!" + +Spot did not listen. He ran into the house and hid under the bed. He chewed on the flexible ruler, making it into a mess. He did not like the taste, but he liked the sound it made. + +Lily and Ben followed him into the house. They looked for him everywhere.

They could understand the bird! They nodded and followed it. They had many adventures in the magic land. They met a friendly dragon, a brave knight, a kind princess, and many other creatures.

They held hands and walked to the car. They were very happy. +Lily loved to draw with her crayons. She liked to make pictures of flowers, animals, and her family. One day, she wanted to draw a picture for her aunt, who was coming to visit. She took out her blue crayon, because blue was her aunt's favorite color. + +She started to draw a big blue flower, but she made a mistake. She drew the stem too long and it went out of the paper. She felt sad and wanted to throw away her picture. She thought her aunt would not like it. + +But her mom saw her and said, "Lily, don't be upset. Your picture is very pretty. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You can fix it or make a new one.

It was hiding under a rock. + +"Look, a crab!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it. It might pinch you. It is scared of us. We have to be kind to it," Lily said. She was older than Tom and knew more about animals. + +Tom listened to Lily and nodded. He did not want to hurt the crab or make it angry. He and Lily watched the crab from a distance. They saw it move its claws and legs and antennae. It was very interesting. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. The sky was dark and cloudy. It started to rain. Big drops of water fell on the sand and the sea and the crab. + +"Oh no, it is raining! We have to go back to the car.

He was supposed to send us some books and games." + +He picked up the phone and called uncle Bob. He told him what happened and asked him to come and take the bear cub back. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" uncle Bob said. "I mixed up the labels. I'll be there as soon as I can.

They gave them some cookies and milk and told them not to touch the box or the bear cub. + +"It's okay, kids. It was just a mix-up. Uncle Bob will fix it soon. The bear cub is not wild, he is just a baby. He didn't mean to scare you." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ate their cookies. They peeked at the box and the bear cub. They still felt a little shock, but also a little curious. They wondered what other animals uncle Bob had at his park. Maybe they could visit him someday and see them.

It knocked them down and licked their faces. It was a friendly dog, but Ben and Lily did not know that. They screamed and cried. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. + +A man came running after the dog. He was the dog's owner. He saw Ben and Lily on the ground, covered in pine cones and dog saliva. + +"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" he said, pulling the dog away.

That's yucky." Lily said, wiping her cheek. + +The man laughed and watched as Ben, Lily and Spot hopped on the pine cones. They became friends and had a lot of fun. They learned that sometimes things that seem scary are not so scary after all. They just need to be understood and loved. +Sam was a big boy who liked to do things by himself. He was independent and did not need help from his mom or dad. He could put on his shoes, brush his teeth, and pack his bag for school. He also had a special cap that he wore every day. It was blue and had a star on it. + +One day, Sam woke up and looked for his cap. He could not find it anywhere. He searched under his bed, in his closet, and in his toy box. He started to feel sad and worried. Where was his cap? He asked his mom and dad, but they did not know either. + +"Maybe you left it at school yesterday," his mom said. + +"Or maybe someone took it," his dad said. + +Sam did not like those ideas. He loved his cap and did not want to lose it. He decided to go to school and look for it. He put on his jacket and his backpack and said goodbye to his mom and dad. + +At school, Sam looked everywhere for his cap. He checked his locker, his desk, and the playground. He asked his teacher and his friends, but no one had seen it. He felt very sad and angry. He missed his cap and wanted it back. + +At lunchtime, he sat alone on a bench and ate his sandwich. He did not feel like playing or talking. He wished he had his cap to make him feel better. + +Suddenly, he heard someone call his name. He looked up and saw his best friend, Lily, running towards him. She had a big smile on her face and something behind her back. + +"Sam, I have a surprise for you!" she said. + +She came closer and showed him what she was hiding. It was his cap! It was blue and had a star on it. Sam could not believe his eyes. He felt very happy and excited. + +"Lily, you found my cap! Where was it?" he asked. + +"It was in the art room. You left it there yesterday when we were painting. I saw it this morning and I knew it was yours. I wanted to give it back to you and make you happy," she said. + +Sam hugged Lily and thanked her. He put on his cap and felt his sadness and anger go away. He felt like himself again. He was independent and did things by himself, but he also had a good friend who cared for him. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are the best friend ever. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Yes, Sam. I would love to play with you. You are the best friend ever, too. Come on, let's go!" she said. + +They ran to the playground and played together. They had fun and laughed a lot. Sam was glad he had his cap and his friend. He was not sad or angry anymore. He was happy and surprised. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were on a big ship, sailing on the sea. They used a chair as the ship's wheel, and a blanket as the sail. + +"Look, Ben, there is an island!" Anna said, pointing to the couch. "Let's go and explore it!" + +"Okay, Anna, you are the captain, and I am the sailor!" Ben said, excited. He followed Anna as she jumped off the chair and ran to the couch. + +They climbed on the couch and pretended it was a mountain. They saw a pillow that looked like a cave. Anna was brave and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go in the cave!" Anna said, pulling Ben by the hand. + +"But, Anna, what if there is a monster in there?" Ben said, scared. + +"Don't be silly, Ben, there is no monster, only fun!" Anna said, and pushed Ben into the pillow. + +But as soon as they entered the pillow, they heard a loud roar. It was not a cave, it was a lion's mouth! The lion was hiding under the blanket, and he was hungry. He snapped his jaws and ate Anna and Ben in one bite. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. Sara has a red car and Ben has a blue truck. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving on the road. + +"Beep beep! Move, red car!" Ben says. + +"No, you move, blue truck!" Sara says. + +They both want to go first and they start to push each other's vehicles. They get angry and make faces. + +"Stop it, Sara and Ben!" Mom says. "You need to share and take turns. Why don't you decide who goes first by playing rock, paper, scissors?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other and nod. They put down their vehicles and hold up their hands. They say "rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" and show their shapes. + +Sara has paper and Ben has scissors. Ben wins and smiles. + +"Ha ha, I win! I go first!" Ben says. + +He picks up his blue truck and drives it on the road. Sara picks up her red car and waits. + +"OK, Ben, you go first. But don't go too far. I want to play too," Sara says. + +Ben nods and says "OK, Sara. I will go to the store and come back. Do you want anything from the store?" + +Sara thinks for a moment and says "Yes, I want a lemon." + +Ben says "A lemon? Why do you want a lemon? Lemons are sour and make your face funny." + +Sara says "I like lemons. They are yellow and juicy and make me happy." + +Ben says "OK, Sara. I will get you a lemon. But don't eat it all. Save some for me. I want to see your funny face." + +Sara says "OK, Ben. Thank you. Have a nice trip." + +Ben says "You're welcome. See you soon." + +He drives his blue truck to the store and gets a lemon. He comes back and gives it to Sara. She smiles and peels it. She takes a bite and makes a funny face. Ben laughs and takes a bite too. He makes a funny face too. They both laugh and hug. + +They decide they like lemons and they like playing with their vehicles. They decide they are good friends. Mom smiles and gives them a kiss. +Lily and Ben were very excited. They were going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time. They packed their bags and hugged their mum and dad. "Have fun, my loves," mum said. "We will miss you, but we are happy you can visit grandma and grandpa." + +Lily and Ben got in the car with their aunt, who was taking them to the airport. They saw many cars and buses and trucks on the road. They also saw some birds and trees and flowers. They sang songs and played games to pass the time. + +When they arrived at the airport, they saw many people and suitcases and signs. They followed their aunt to a big desk, where a lady with a badge checked their tickets and gave them stickers. "Hello, Lily and Ben," the lady said. "You are very brave to fly in an aeroplane. Here are some stickers for you. They say 'I am a helpful flyer'. Can you be helpful flyers today?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They put the stickers on their shirts and said thank you. They wanted to be helpful flyers. They held their aunt's hand and walked to a big gate, where they waited for their aeroplane. They saw some aeroplanes take off and land. They made noises like aeroplanes and pretended to fly. + +Soon, it was their turn to board their aeroplane. They showed their tickets to another lady with a badge, who smiled and said "Welcome aboard". They walked through a long tunnel and entered the aeroplane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the wing and the engine and the wheel. They listened to the pilot and the crew, who told them what to do and how to be safe. They were very helpful flyers. They did what they were told and did not make a fuss. + +The aeroplane started to move and then to speed up and then to lift off. Lily and Ben felt a funny feeling in their tummy, but they were not scared. They were amazed. They saw the clouds and the sky and the sun. They saw the land and the sea and the towns. They enjoyed flying in the aeroplane. They ate some snacks and watched some cartoons and read some books. They also talked to their aunt and to each other. They wondered what grandma and grandpa were doing and what they would do with them. + +They flew for a long time and then the pilot said they were going to land. The aeroplane started to go down and then to slow down and then to touch the ground. Lily and Ben felt another funny feeling in their tummy, but they were still not scared. They were happy. They clapped and cheered and said "We did it! We flew in an aeroplane!" They thanked the pilot and the crew and got off the aeroplane. They walked to another big desk, where they picked up their bags and met their grandma and grandpa. They hugged them and kissed them and said "Hello, we love you, we missed you". Grandma and grandpa hugged them and kissed them and said "Hello, we love you, we missed you too. We are so proud of you. You are very helpful flyers and very good travellers. We are so happy you are here." + +Lily and Ben smiled and felt warm and cozy. They enjoyed flying in an aeroplane, but they enjoyed seeing their grandma and grandpa more. They were ready for a new adventure with them. +Tom likes to play sport with his friends. He likes to run, kick, throw and catch. He is good at sport and he has fun. But today, he cannot play sport. He has to help his dad deliver some boxes to people. He is not happy. He is restless. + +He sits in the big car with his dad and holds a map. His dad drives to different houses and gives them boxes. Tom has to wait in the car. He is bored. He wants to play sport. He looks at the map and sees a park. He has an idea. + +He tells his dad he wants to go to the park. His dad says they have one more box to deliver. He says they can go to the park after that. Tom is happy. He helps his dad carry the last box to the door. He sees a ball on the grass. He picks it up and runs to the park. + +He finds some kids playing sport. He asks if he can join them. They say yes. He kicks the ball, throws the ball, catches the ball. He is good at sport and he has fun. He is not restless anymore. He is happy. + +His dad comes to the park and sees him playing sport. He smiles and calls him. He says it is time to go home. Tom says goodbye to his new friends and gives them the ball. He runs to the car and hugs his dad. He says he likes to help him deliver boxes. He says he likes to play sport too. He says he had a good day. His dad says he is proud of him. They drive home together. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the jungle. The jungle has many trees and animals. Lily and Ben like to see the animals and hear their sounds. + +One day, they find a big fruit on a tree. The fruit is yellow and round. It looks good and sweet. Lily and Ben want to eat the fruit. + +"Can we have the fruit?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Yes, we can. The fruit is for us. The tree provides the fruit for us," Ben says. + +They climb the tree and pick the fruit. They share the fruit and eat it. The fruit is good and juicy. Lily and Ben are happy. + +"Thank you, tree, for providing the fruit for us," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you like the fruit. You are good friends," the tree says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They did not know the tree can talk. They smile and hug the tree. They say goodbye to the tree and the animals. They go back to their home. They tell their parents about their adventure in the jungle. Their parents are proud of them. They hug and kiss them. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily saw a shiny white knife on the counter. She wanted to use it to cut some bread. + +"Look, Ben, I found a knife!" she said. + +"No, Lily, that's not for us. That's for Mommy and Daddy. It's very sharp and can hurt you. Put it back!" Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She took the knife and tried to cut the bread. She did not know how to hold it right. The knife slipped and cut her hand. Lily felt a lot of pain. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" she screamed. + +Ben ran to her and saw the blood. He was scared. He tried to help her, but he did not know what to do. He shouted for Mommy and Daddy. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help! Lily cut herself with the knife!" + +Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw Lily and Ben and the knife and the blood. They were very angry and worried. They took Lily to the bathroom and wrapped her hand with a cloth. They called the doctor. + +"Lily, why did you take the knife? You know you're not supposed to touch it. You could have lost your finger. You're very naughty and you made us suffer," Mommy said. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy, I'm sorry. I just wanted to play. I didn't mean to hurt myself," Lily said. + +The doctor came and looked at Lily's hand. He said she needed stitches. He gave her a shot to make her feel better. He sewed her hand with a needle and thread. It hurt a lot. Lily cried more. + +The doctor left and told Mommy and Daddy to take good care of Lily. He said she would have a scar on her hand. He said she was lucky it was not worse. + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Lily and Ben. They said they loved them, but they were very disappointed. They said they had to be more careful and listen to them. They said they had to go to bed early and no more playing in the kitchen. + +Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They said they were sorry again and again. They went to their room and lay in their beds. They could not sleep. They felt the pain in their hand and their heart. They wished they had never seen the white knife. +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big sheep made of soft wool. They named the sheep Fluffy and hugged it every night. + +One day, a man came to their house and asked their mom if he could buy some wool. He said he needed wool to make sweaters and hats. Mom said yes and went to get some wool from the barn. Ben and Lily followed her, holding Fluffy. + +The man saw Fluffy and said, "What a nice sheep! Can I have it too? I will give you a lot of money for it." + +Ben and Lily were shocked. They did not want to give Fluffy to the man. They loved Fluffy and Fluffy loved them. They said, "No, no, no! Fluffy is ours! We value Fluffy more than money. Fluffy is our friend. You cannot have Fluffy!" + +Mom heard them and smiled. She said to the man, "I'm sorry, but Fluffy is not for sale. Fluffy is a special toy that my children made with their own hands. They used wool from our old sheep that died last winter. Fluffy is incredible. Fluffy reminds them of the old sheep and makes them happy. Fluffy is priceless." + +The man understood and said, "I'm sorry, I did not know. Fluffy is indeed incredible. You have very clever and kind children. I will not bother you anymore. Thank you for the wool and have a nice day." + +Mom said, "You're welcome and goodbye." She gave the man some wool and he left. Ben and Lily hugged Mom and Fluffy and thanked her for keeping Fluffy. Mom said, "You're welcome, my darlings. Fluffy is yours forever. I'm proud of you for valuing Fluffy more than money. Fluffy is a treasure." They all smiled and went back to the house to play with Fluffy. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There was a big slide and a swing. They had fun. + +Then, they saw a man with a cart. He had many lollipops. They were red, yellow, green, and blue. They looked yummy. Tom and Sam wanted a lollipop. They asked their moms. + +"Can we have a lollipop, please?" they said. + +"Okay, but only one each. And you have to brush your teeth after. Lollipops are not good for your teeth," their moms said. + +They gave them some money. Tom and Sam ran to the man. They each picked a lollipop. Tom chose a red one. Sam chose a blue one. They thanked the man. They unwrapped their lollipops. They licked them. They were sweet. + +"Can I try your lollipop?" Tom asked Sam. + +"Okay, but only for a second. Then you have to give it back," Sam said. + +They passed their lollipops to each other. They licked them. They did not like them. + +"Yuck! Your lollipop is bad. It tastes like soap," Tom said. + +"Yuck! Your lollipop is worse. It tastes like dirt," Sam said. + +They passed their lollipops back. They looked at them. They were not clean. They had hair and dust and bugs on them. They were gross. + +They spit them out. They threw them away. They felt sick. They cried. + +"Mommy! Mommy! The lollipops are bad. They are dirty. They make us sick," they said. + +Their moms came to them. They saw the lollipops. They were angry. + +"Who gave you these lollipops? They are not lollipops. They are trash. They are dangerous. You could get sick from them. You should never take candy from strangers. You should only eat clean food," their moms said. + +They took them to the man. He was gone. He had left his cart. He had run away. He was a bad man. He had tricked them. He had given them trash instead of lollipops. He had taken their money. + +Tom and Sam were sad. They were sorry. They had learned a lesson. They would never take candy from strangers again. They would only eat clean food. They would brush their teeth. They would be careful. They would be good. +Ben and Lily were cousins who liked to play together. One day, Lily came to visit Ben at his house. They decided to play with Ben's new toy train that he got for his birthday. + +"Choo choo!" Ben said, making the train go around the track. "This is my train. It is fast and shiny." + +"Can I play too?" Lily asked, reaching for the train. + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't break it," Ben said, handing her the train. + +Lily was clumsy. She did not hold the train well. She dropped it on the floor and it broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break your train." + +Ben was angry. He snatched the pieces from Lily and shouted, "You are so clumsy! You always break things! Go away! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +Lily ran away, feeling sad and sorry. She went to find her mom, who was talking to Ben's mom in the kitchen. + +"What's wrong, sweetie?" Lily's mom asked, seeing her tears. + +"Lily broke my train!" Ben yelled, following her. "She is so clumsy! She can't play with me!" + +Ben's mom looked at the broken train and sighed. She said to Ben, "That was not nice, Ben. You should not yell at Lily. She is your cousin and your friend. She did not break your train on purpose. She made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You should forgive her and share your toys with her. That's what good friends do." + +Ben felt ashamed. He realized he was mean to Lily. He said to his mom, "You're right, mom. I'm sorry. I was selfish and rude. I should be kind to Lily. She is my cousin and my friend." + +He went to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I forgive you for breaking my train. Do you forgive me for yelling at you?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I forgive you for yelling at me. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Let's find another toy to play with. Maybe we can fix the train later." + +They hugged and went to Ben's room to find another toy. They played happily for the rest of the visit. They learned to be kind and forgiving to each other. They stayed good friends and good cousins. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in their garden. Every morning, their mom would provide them with breakfast and a big hug. Then they would run outside and explore the flowers, the bugs and the birds. + +One morning, they saw a new bird in their garden. It was black and white, with a long beak and a red spot on its head. It was making a loud noise and pecking at the tree. Lily and Tom were curious and wanted to see it better. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "What are you doing?" + +The bird stopped pecking and looked at them. It tilted its head and said, "Ka-ka!" + +"Wow, it can talk!" Tom said. "What is your name, bird?" + +The bird said, "Ka-ka!" again and flew to another tree. It started pecking again. + +Lily and Tom followed it, but the bird kept flying away. It seemed to like being nosy, but not being talked to. + +"Come back, bird!" Lily and Tom shouted. "We want to be your friends!" + +But the bird did not listen. It flew over the fence and out of the garden. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They liked the bird and wanted to play with it. They went back to their mom and told her what they saw. + +"That was a woodpecker," their mom said. "They are very nosy birds, but they are also shy. They like to make holes in trees and find bugs to eat. Maybe it will come back another morning." + +Lily and Tom hoped so. They decided to make a bird feeder and hang it on the tree. Maybe the woodpecker would like it and visit them again. They smiled and hugged their mom. They loved their garden and all the animals in it. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to spring on the swings and slide on the slide. They were very busy and happy. + +But then, a bad man came. He was a thief. He wanted to take Ben and Mia's toys. He saw their ball and their doll on the bench. He ran to the bench and grabbed them. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Ben shouted. He and Mia got off the swings and ran after the thief. + +"Give them back!" Mia cried. She was very sad and angry. + +The thief did not listen. He laughed and ran away. But he did not see the big dog. The dog was the park guard. He saw the thief and barked. He chased the thief and bit his leg. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the thief screamed. He dropped the ball and the doll and ran away. + +The dog brought the ball and the doll back to Ben and Mia. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +"Thank you, doggy!" Ben and Mia said. They hugged the dog and gave him a treat. They were very happy and grateful. + +They played with their toys and the dog. They had a lot of fun. They were very busy and happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They have a big car that can fit many things. They put their toys, clothes, and books in the car. They are ready to go. + +"Where are we going, mom?" Tom asks. + +"We are going to the farm, Tom. We will see cows, horses, and chickens. Do you like animals?" mom says. + +"Yes, I do. I want to pet them and feed them. What about you, Lily?" Tom says. + +"I like animals too. But I also want to see the flowers, the trees, and the sky. They are so pretty. Can we pick some flowers, dad?" Lily says. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to be careful and gentle. We don't want to hurt the plants or the animals. They are living things, like us. They have a body, a heart, and a soul. We have to respect them and love them." dad says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They are happy and excited. They love to learn new things and see new places. They are proud of their mom and dad. They are proud of themselves. They are a good family. They travel together and have fun. They are very lucky. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a nest on a branch. They want to see the nest better. + +"Let's climb the tree," Tom says. He is brave and strong. He goes first and helps Lila up. They are careful not to hurt the tree or the nest. + +They reach the branch with the nest. They see four blue eggs inside. They are very pretty and shiny. Lila and Tom are quiet. They do not want to scare the birds. + +But then, a big wind comes. It shakes the tree and the branch. The nest starts to move. Lila and Tom are scared. They do not want the eggs to fall. + +"Push the nest back," Lila says. She tries to push the nest with her hand. But it is too far and too heavy. She cannot reach it. + +Tom has an idea. He takes off his hat. He throws it to the nest. The hat pushes the nest back to the middle of the branch. The nest is safe. The eggs do not fall. + +Lila and Tom are happy. They clap their hands. They hear a chirp. They look up and see a bird. It is the mother of the eggs. She is happy too. She thanks them with a song. + +Lila and Tom smile. They climb down the tree. They pick up Tom's hat. They wave goodbye to the bird and the nest. They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them about their adventure. Mom and dad are proud of them. They hug them and give them a snack. Lila and Tom are hungry and tired. They eat and rest. They dream of the nest and the eggs and the bird. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a cute dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and running around. Lily and Tom wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hi, doggy! What is your name?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to the dog. + +But the dog did not like strangers. The dog bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed and cried. Tom ran to help her. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" Tom shouted. He tried to push the dog away. + +But the dog was angry and strong. The dog bit Tom's leg. Tom fell down and cried too. + +A man came out of a house near the park. He heard the noise and saw the dog. He had a knob in his hand. He threw the knob at the dog. + +"Stop! That's my dog! He's scared of people!" the man yelled. + +But it was too late. The knob hit the dog's head. The dog stopped barking and moving. The dog was hurt. + +The man ran to the dog. He tried to rescue the dog. He lifted the dog in his arms. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" the man said. He looked at Lily and Tom. They were bleeding and crying. + +"I'm sorry, kids, I didn't know he would bite you!" the man said. He looked for his phone. He wanted to call for help. + +But he did not have his phone. He left it in the house. He did not have a key. He locked the door. + +The man, the dog, Lily and Tom were stuck in the park. They were all sad and scared. No one came to help them. The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big stone near the pond. They want to go and touch it. + +"Look, a big stone!" Tim says. "Let's go and see it!" + +"OK, but be careful!" Sam says. "The pond has water and mud. We don't want to fall in!" + +They run to the stone. It is hard and cold. They touch it with their hands. They feel happy. + +"Can we climb on it?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know," Sam says. "It looks high and slippery. Maybe we should not." + +But Tim does not listen. He wants to climb on the stone. He says, "I am ready. I can do it. Watch me!" + +He tries to climb on the stone. But he slips and falls. He lands in the pond. He gets wet and dirty. He cries. + +"Help me! Help me!" he shouts. + +Sam runs to him. He helps him out of the pond. He says, "Are you OK? Are you hurt?" + +Tim is not hurt. But he is sad and sorry. He says, "I am OK. But I am wet and dirty. And I am sorry. I should have listened to you. You were right. The stone was high and slippery. I was not ready. I was silly." + +Sam hugs him. He says, "It's OK. I am your friend. I forgive you. But next time, please be careful. And listen to your friend. Your friend knows what is good for you. Your friend wants you to be safe and happy." + +They go back to their mommies. They tell them what happened. Their mommies are not angry. But they are worried. They say, "We are glad you are OK. But you should not play near the pond. And you should not climb on big stones. You could get hurt. You could get sick. You should listen to your friend. Your friend is wise. Your friend is kind." + +Tim and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, mommies. We are sorry. We will listen to our friend. We will be careful. We will be good." + +They hug their mommies. They hug each other. They learn a lesson. They are still friends. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they fought over their toys and snacks. One day, their mom gave them each a slice of bread with jam. Tom wanted to have more jam, so he tried to take some from Lily's bread. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily said. "You have your own jam!" + +"But I want more!" Tom said. He was jealous of Lily's jam. He pulled hard on her bread and made it tear. + +Lily was angry and sad. She cried and ran to their mom. "Tom took my jam and broke my bread!" + +Mom came and saw what happened. She was not happy with Tom. She said, "Tom, that was not nice. You should not be jealous of your sister and take her things. You should share and be kind. How would you feel if she did that to you?" + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had hurt Lily's feelings. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Here, you can have some of my jam and bread." + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. Let's share and be friends." + +They hugged and ate their bread and jam together. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you both. You learned to close your fight and make up. That's what good siblings do." +Lily was a young girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make tea for her mom and dad, who were working in the garden. She filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove. She waited for the water to boil and make a loud noise. + +When the kettle was ready, Lily took it off the stove and poured the hot water into two cups. She added some sugar and milk to each cup and stirred them with a spoon. She was very careful not to spill the hot water or burn herself. She put the cups on a tray and carried them to the garden. + +She walked slowly and steadily, trying not to shake the tray. She saw her mom and dad sitting on a bench, looking at the flowers. She smiled and called out, "Mom, dad, I made tea for you!" + +Her mom and dad looked up and saw Lily with the tray. They were very happy and proud of her. They thanked her and praised her for being such a good helper. They invited her to sit with them and have some tea. + +Lily put the tray on the table and picked up a cup. She was about to take a sip, when she felt something wet and slippery under her foot. It was a snail that had crawled out of the grass. Lily gasped and lost her balance. She slipped and dropped the cup. The cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The tea spilled all over the grass and the snail. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I broke the cup and wasted the tea!" + +Her mom and dad rushed to her and hugged her. They told her not to worry, that it was an accident, that they were not angry, that they still loved her. They said, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. The cup is not important, you are. The tea is not important, you are. The snail is not important, you are. You are our sweet and brave girl, and we are very proud of you." + +They kissed her and wiped her tears. They gave her another cup of tea and some cookies. They sat together and enjoyed the tea and the cookies and the flowers. They laughed and talked and had a good time. Lily felt better and smiled. She was happy to have such a loving mom and dad. She said, "I love you, mom and dad. Thank you for the tea and the cookies and the hug." + +They said, "We love you, too, Lily. Thank you for the tea and the smile and the hug." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for flowers and bugs. Anna saw a yellow daisy and picked it up. She smelled it and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I found a daisy!" she said. "It is so pretty and smells good. I want to keep it." + +Ben came over and looked at the daisy. He liked it too, but he had a question. + +"Where did you find it, Anna?" he asked. "Did it belong to someone?" + +Anna thought for a moment. She remembered that the daisy was growing in a patch of grass near a bench. She saw a lady sitting on the bench, reading a book. She had a basket with some bread and cheese. + +"I found it over there," she said, pointing to the grass. "But I don't think it belonged to anyone. It was just growing by itself." + +Ben nodded. He thought Anna was smart. He knew that flowers belonged to the earth, not to people. He also knew that some people liked to have flowers in their homes or gardens, but they had to ask first. + +"Maybe we should ask the lady if she wants the daisy," he suggested. "She might like it too. She looks nice." + +Anna agreed. She thought Ben was smart too. She also thought it was nice to share. She held the daisy in her hand and walked with Ben to the bench. The lady looked up from her book and smiled. + +"Hello, children," she said. "What do you have there?" + +Anna showed her the daisy and said, "We found this daisy in the grass. It is very pretty and smells good. We wanted to keep it, but we also wanted to ask you if you want it. Do you like daisies?" + +The lady was surprised and touched by the children's kindness. She thanked them and said, "I do like daisies very much. They are my favorite flowers. But you know what? I think you should keep it. It is a gift from nature, and you found it first. You can enjoy it as much as I would. Maybe you can put it in a vase with some water, or make a necklace with it. It is yours to keep." + +Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked the lady and said goodbye. They decided to make a necklace with the daisy and share it. They put the daisy around Anna's neck and then around Ben's neck. They felt proud and happy. They had a beautiful daisy and a new friend. They belonged to each other. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big hippo in the pond. The hippo was very big and had a long nose and big teeth. Tim and Lily were curious and wanted to see the hippo closer. + +"Let's go and say hello to the hippo," Tim said. He took Lily's hand and led her to the edge of the pond. "Maybe he is lonely and wants to play with us." + +Lily was anxious. She did not like the hippo. She thought he looked scary and mean. She wanted to go back to their toys. "No, Tim, I don't want to go. The hippo might bite us or splash us with water. Let's go back, please." + +But Tim did not listen. He was brave and wanted to make friends with the hippo. He let go of Lily's hand and walked closer to the pond. He waved at the hippo and said, "Hi, hippo. What is your name? Do you want to play with us?" + +The hippo did not like Tim. He did not want to play with him. He was angry and wanted to be left alone. He opened his mouth and roared at Tim. He splashed water with his nose and tail. He made Tim wet and scared. + +Tim was sorry. He realized he made a mistake. He ran back to Lily and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The hippo is not nice. He is mean and scary. Let's go back to our toys and never bother him again." + +Lily was glad. She forgave Tim and hugged him back. She said, "It's okay, Tim. I'm happy you are safe. Let's go back to our toys and play together. We don't need the hippo. We have each other." +Lily liked to play in the sand near the water. She had a bucket and a shovel and made castles and hills. She also liked to look for shells and rocks that were pretty. She found some that were pink and shiny and some that were white and smooth. + +One day, she saw something move in the water. It was big and had many arms. It was an octopus. Lily was curious and wanted to see it better. She walked closer to the water and reached out her hand. The octopus saw her and reached out one of its arms too. + +Lily touched the octopus and felt that it was wet and slippery. The octopus wrapped its arm around her hand and pulled her towards the water. Lily was scared and tried to resist. She pulled back her hand and shouted for help. Her mom heard her and ran to her. She grabbed Lily and pulled her away from the octopus. + +Lily was safe and hugged her mom. She was glad that her mom was there. She told her mom what happened and showed her the octopus. Her mom told her that the octopus was not mean, but just curious too. She said that Lily should not touch wild animals without asking first. She said that they could look at them from a distance, but not bother them. + +Lily nodded and said sorry. She said that she learned her lesson. She said that the octopus was pretty, but not friendly. She said that she liked her shells and rocks better. She and her mom went back to the sand and played some more. They had fun and were happy. +Lily and Ben were young twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big ship on the lake. It had a red flag and a loud horn. + +"Wow, look at the ship!" Lily said. "Can we go on it?" + +"Maybe, but we have to ask Mom first," Ben said. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, mom, can we go on the ship?" they asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "Sure, but you have to be careful and stay with me. The ship is very big and there are many people on it." + +Lily and Ben were happy and followed Mom to the ship. They climbed the stairs and saw the deck. There were chairs, tables, and umbrellas. There were also some birds and fish. + +"Look, a seagull!" Lily said, pointing to a white bird. She tried to touch it, but it flew away. + +"Look, a starfish!" Ben said, pointing to a red star on the water. He leaned over the railing, but Mom held him back. + +"Don't go too close, Ben. You might fall in the water," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben saw a man with a hat and a whistle. He was the captain of the ship. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, young sailors! Do you want to see the wheel?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +The captain took them to the wheel, which was big and round. He let them hold it and turn it. + +"Beep, beep! We are steering the ship!" Lily and Ben said. + +They had fun on the ship, but soon it was time to go back. The captain gave them each a sticker with a ship on it. + +"Thank you for visiting, young sailors! Come back again!" he said. + +Lily and Ben said goodbye to the captain and the ship. They hugged Mom and thanked her for the trip. + +They had a great day on the ship. They poked their stickers and said, "Beep, beep!" all the way home. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a big truck. Mia has a small doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they find a bird in the garden. The bird is wet and cold. It cannot fly. Tom and Mia feel sorry for the bird. They want to help it. + +They bring the bird inside. They make a nest for it with a box and some paper. They feed it some bread and water. They talk to it and pet it gently. The bird feels better. It makes a happy sound. + +Tom and Mia are happy too. They have a new friend. They name the bird Original. They think it is a special name for a special bird. They promise to take good care of Original. They hope it will fly again soon. +Lily and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park. Lily likes the park. She likes to swing and slide and play with the ducks. Ben likes the park too. He likes to run and climb and kick the ball. + +On the way to the park, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a girl in a pink dress. She is dancing on her toes. She looks graceful. Lily likes the picture. She says, "Mom, look! The girl is dancing. She is pretty. I want to dance like her." + +Mom smiles and says, "She is pretty, Lily. She is a ballet dancer. She is graceful. Do you want to learn ballet?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, Mom. I want to learn ballet. Can I have a pink dress too?" + +Mom says, "Maybe, Lily. We can look for a ballet class for you. And maybe you can have a pink dress for your birthday." + +Lily is happy. She says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Ben looks at the billboard too. He says, "I don't like ballet. Ballet is boring. I like soccer. Soccer is fun. I want to play soccer." + +Dad says, "You can play soccer, Ben. Soccer is fun. You are good at soccer. We can play soccer at the park." + +Ben is happy. He says, "Thank you, Dad. You are the best." + +Lily and Ben are different. But they both love their Mom and Dad. And they both love the park. They have a lot of fun at the park. They swing and slide and play with the ducks. They run and climb and kick the ball. They are happy. +Tommy liked to play in the garden with his dog Spot. He had a big shovel and a bucket, and he dug holes in the dirt. Sometimes he found worms or rocks, and he put them in his bucket. He was very happy. + +One day, he saw a magazine on the table in the house. It had many pictures of people and things. He wanted to look at it, but his mom said no. She said it was not for him, and he had to leave it alone. Tommy was angry. He thought his mom was ignorant. She did not know how much he liked pictures. + +He waited until his mom was busy in the kitchen, and he took the magazine. He ran outside with it, and he showed it to Spot. Spot wagged his tail and licked the magazine. Tommy laughed. He decided to bury the magazine in the garden, so his mom would not find it. + +He dug a deep hole with his shovel, and he put the magazine in it. He covered it with dirt, and he patted it down. He was very proud. He had a secret treasure in the garden. He and Spot played some more, and then they went inside. + +The next day, Tommy wanted to see his magazine again. He went to the garden with his shovel, and he looked for the hole. But he could not find it. He dug and dug, but he only found worms and rocks. He was very sad. He did not know that his dad had filled the hole with new dirt and planted some flowers. He thought his magazine was gone forever. He cried and cried, and he wished he had listened to his mom. He learned a hard lesson. He was not ignorant anymore. +Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They had a ball and two cones for the goal. Lily was good at kicking the ball, but Ben was better at catching it. They took turns to be the goalie and the striker. + +"Your turn, Lily!" Ben said. "Try to score a goal!" + +Lily ran with the ball and tried to shoot it past Ben. But Ben jumped and caught the ball in his hands. He smiled and threw the ball back to Lily. + +"Nice try, Lily!" he said. "But you have to kick harder!" + +Lily felt embarrassed. She wanted to score a goal and make Ben proud. She picked up the ball and tried again. This time, she kicked the ball as hard as she could. But she kicked it too high and too far. The ball flew over Ben's head and landed in a big pile of leaves. + +"Oops!" Lily said. "Where did the ball go?" + +Ben ran after the ball and looked for it in the leaves. He saw a shiny red thing and pulled it out. It was not the ball. It was a toy car. + +"Wow, look what I found!" Ben said. "Someone buried a car here!" + +Lily ran over and looked at the car. It was shiny and red and had four wheels. It looked like a real car, but smaller. + +"Can I see it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, here you go!" Ben said. He gave the car to Lily. She held it in her hands and admired it. + +"It's so pretty!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?" + +Ben nodded. He did not mind. He liked the car, but he liked Lily more. + +"Let's play with it!" he said. "We can pretend it's our car and we can drive it around the park!" + +Lily smiled. She forgot about the ball and the goal. She was not embarrassed anymore. She was happy. She had a new toy and a good friend. + +"Okay, let's go!" she said. She put the car on the ground and pushed it with her finger. Ben followed her and made vroom-vroom noises. They played with the car until it was time to go home. They buried the car in the leaves again, so they could find it next time. They hugged each other and said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Lily!" Ben said. + +"See you tomorrow, Ben!" Lily said. + +They waved and ran to their moms. They had a lot of fun playing soccer and finding the car. They were looking forward to playing again. They were the best of friends. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play sport in the park. They run, jump, kick and throw. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big slide in the park. It is new and shiny. They want to try it. They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There is a sign on the slide. It says: "Pay one coin to slide." + +Lila and Ben are sad. They do not have any coins. They only have cheap toys. They look at the slide. They want to slide. + +They see a man near the slide. He is the slide keeper. He collects the coins. He looks bored. Lila and Ben have an idea. They go to the man. + +"Hello, sir," Lila says. "We want to slide. But we do not have coins. Can we give you something else?" + +The man looks at them. He sees their cheap toys. He sees a ball, a doll, a car and a book. He smiles. + +"Sure, kids," he says. "You can give me one toy each. Then you can slide." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They give the man their toys. They thank him. They climb the slide. They slide down. They laugh. They slide again and again. They have fun. + +The man watches them. He plays with their toys. He likes the ball, the doll, the car and the book. He is not bored. He is happy. He thinks: "This is a good trade." +Sara and Ben wanted to decorate a package for their mom. Mom was away for work and they missed her a lot. They asked dad to help them find a big box and some paper and stickers. + +Dad was very dependable. He always helped Sara and Ben with their projects. He gave them a big box and some paper and stickers. He also gave them scissors and tape. He said, "Be careful with the scissors and tape. And don't make a big mess." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They started to decorate the package. They cut the paper and taped it to the box. They put stickers all over the paper. They drew pictures of mom and them with crayons. They wrote "We love you, Mom" with big letters. + +They were very proud of their package. They showed it to dad. Dad smiled and said, "Wow, that's a beautiful package. Mom will love it. You did a great job." + +Sara and Ben hugged dad. They said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. Can we send the package to mom now?" + +Dad said, "Yes, we can. Let's go to the post office and mail it. Mom will be so happy when she gets it." + +Sara and Ben were very excited. They carried the package to the car. They hoped mom would come back soon. They wanted to see her smile. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can play on the swings and slides. Tim and Sam are happy. + +But on the way to the park, they have to walk on a long and boring street. There are no cars or balls or toys on the street. There are only big houses and trees and people. Tim and Sam are not happy. + +"Mom, can we go faster?" Tim asks. "I want to play on the swings." + +"Me too," Sam says. "The street is boring." + +Mom says they have to be patient. She says the park is not far. She says they can see the birds and the flowers on the street. Tim and Sam try to see the birds and the flowers, but they are not fun. + +Tim has a red car in his hand. He likes his red car. He makes it go vroom vroom on the ground. Sam has a blue ball in his hand. He likes his blue ball. He makes it bounce bounce on the ground. + +But then, something bad happens. Tim drops his red car. It rolls away on the street. Tim runs after it. He does not look where he is going. He does not see the big truck coming. The truck is loud and fast. The truck honks its horn. + +"Tim, stop!" Mom yells. "Come back!" + +Sam drops his blue ball. He runs after Tim. He does not look where he is going. He does not see the big truck coming.

She does not see the big truck coming. The truck is loud and fast. The truck honks its horn. + +"Mom, stop!" The truck driver yells. "Come back!" + +But it is too late. The truck hits Tim and Sam and Mom. They all fall down on the street. They all bleed and cry. The red car and the blue ball are broken. The bag is open. The truck driver is sorry. He calls for help. + +The end. +Lily and Sam are going to the zoo with their mom. They are very happy. They put on their hats and shoes and go outside. Mom says, "Are you ready to go?" Lily and Sam nod and say, "Yes, mom!" + +They walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus. The bus is big and yellow. It has many seats and windows. Lily and Sam like to look out the window and see the cars and trees and people. Mom says, "The zoo is not far. We will be there soon." + +When they get to the zoo, they see many animals. They see lions and monkeys and elephants and giraffes. They hear them roar and chatter and trumpet and snort. Lily and Sam are amazed. They want to see more. + +Mom says, "Let's have a snack first. You must be hungry." She takes out some sandwiches and apples and juice from her bag. Lily and Sam eat their food and drink their juice. They say, "Thank you, mom. This is yummy." + +Mom says, "You're welcome. Now, let's go and see the penguins. They are very funny and cute. They like to swim and slide on the ice." Lily and Sam are excited.

They have a lot of fun at the zoo. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a big box, some paint, and some old bottles. They want to make a tank. + +"Let's use the box for the body of the tank," Tom says. "We can cut a hole for the driver." + +"Good idea," Lily says. "And we can use the bottles for the wheels and the cannon. We can paint them black and green." + +They work hard to make their tank. They use scissors, glue, and tape. They are very creative. + +When they finish, they are very proud of their tank. They take turns to drive it and pretend to shoot at the trees and the flowers. + +"Bang! Bang!" Tom shouts. "We are the best tank drivers in the world!" + +"Boom! Boom!" Lily shouts. "No one can stop us!" + +They have a lot of fun with their tank. They are happy and they hug each other. They love to play together. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bridge over a stream. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's march over the bridge like soldiers!" Ben said. He made a loud noise with his feet and held a stick like a gun. + +"Okay!" Lily said. She followed Ben and made a noise too. They marched over the bridge together. + +But when they reached the middle of the bridge, they heard a loud roar. They looked down and saw a big dog under the bridge. The dog was barking and showing its teeth. It looked angry and scary. + +Lily and Ben were frightened. They stopped marching and ran back to the park. They did not want to see the dog again. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Yes, I'm okay. Are you okay?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Yes, I'm okay. That was a bad dog. It scared us."

Let's swing on it!" + +Lily was not sure. She said, "I don't know, Ben. It looks dangerous. Maybe we should ask a grown-up first." + +But Ben did not listen. He was foolish. He ran to the rope and grabbed it. He tried to swing on it, but he did not know how. He swung too hard and lost his grip. He fell to the ground and hurt his arm. + +Lily ran to him and saw that he was crying. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Oh, Ben, are you okay? You were foolish to swing on the rope. You should have listened to me." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The rope was dangerous. I should have listened to you." + +Lily helped him get up and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Let's go to the slide. It's safer and more fun." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go to the slide. And next time, I will listen to you." +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a big nation. They liked to play and have fun, but they did not like to scare each other. One day, they found a big box in the basement. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. + +"Maybe it has toys or candy," Lily said. + +They lifted the lid and peeked inside. But instead of toys or candy, they saw a big, hairy spider. It had eight legs and red eyes. It looked very angry and hungry. + +"AAAAH!" Lily and Ben screamed. They dropped the lid and ran away. They were very scared of the spider. + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. They told her what they saw. + +"A spider? In the box?" Mom said. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." + +Mom went to the basement with a broom. She opened the box and saw the spider. But it was not a real spider. It was a toy spider. It had a button that made it move and make noises. + +Mom laughed. She realized it was a prank. She looked at the label on the box. It said: "To Lily and Ben, from Uncle Joe. Happy Halloween!" + +Mom took the toy spider and went back to the kitchen. She found Lily and Ben hiding under the table. They were still scared. + +"Look, kids, it was not a real spider. It was a toy spider. Your uncle Joe sent it to you as a joke. He wanted to scare you for Halloween," Mom said. + +She showed them the toy spider and the button. She pressed the button and made the spider move and make noises. + +Lily and Ben looked at the toy spider. They saw that it was not real. They felt silly and relieved. They also felt a little angry at their uncle Joe. + +"That was not funny. That was mean. He made us miserable," Lily said. + +"Yeah, he scared us too much. We don't like him," Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, kids. Your uncle Joe loves you. He just has a weird sense of humor. He didn't mean to hurt you. He wanted to make you laugh." + +Lily and Ben sighed. They knew their mom was right. They loved their uncle Joe too. But they still didn't like his prank. + +"Maybe we can prank him back," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can," Ben said. + +They smiled and started to think of a plan. They wanted to scare their uncle Joe for Halloween. They wanted to make him miserable. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. It is a pit.

He is scared of the pit. + +They look inside the pit. It is dark and deep. They hear a noise. It is a small animal. It is a rabbit. The rabbit is stuck in the pit. It is sad and scared. + +"Look, Tim, a rabbit!" Mia says. She wants to help the rabbit. She reaches out her hand. + +"No, Mia, don't!" Tim says. He pulls her back. He is afraid she will fall in the pit. + +They think of a way to help the rabbit. They find a long stick. They tie a rope to the stick. They lower the stick into the pit. The rabbit sees the stick. It hops on the stick. They pull the stick up. The rabbit is out of the pit. It is happy and grateful. + +"Yay, we did it!" Mia says. She hugs the rabbit. The rabbit licks her face. + +"Good job, Mia!" Tim says. He pets the rabbit. The rabbit snuggles with them. + +They find a comfortable spot under a tree. They play with the rabbit. They are friends. They are happy. +Lily liked to whistle. She learned how to whistle from her dad, who whistled all the time. He whistled when he cooked, when he read, and when he played with Lily. He said whistling made him happy. + +One day, Lily and her dad went to see a parade. There were many people and many noises. There were drums and horns and bells and cheers. Lily wanted to whistle too, but she could not hear herself. She felt sad and helpless. + +She tugged on her dad's hand and said, "Dad, I want to whistle, but I can't. It's too loud." + +Her dad smiled and lifted her up. He put her on his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You can whistle with me. We can whistle louder than the parade." + +He started to whistle a song that Lily knew. She joined him and whistled along. She felt happy and proud.

Sara raised her hand. She wanted to be in the magic show. Tom did not want to go. He was scared of the man. He said, "Sara, don't go. He is a bad man. He will make you disappear and not come back." Sara did not listen. She was excited. She said, "Tom, don't be foolish. It is just a game. He will not hurt me. He will make me dance and then bring me back." She left Tom and went to the stage. + +The man smiled and said, "What is your name, little girl?" Sara said, "My name is Sara." The man said, "Sara, you are a brave and beautiful girl. Do you like to dance?" Sara said, "Yes, I like to dance." The man said, "Good. I will make you dance with my magic wand. But first, you have to get in this box." He pointed to a big box with a curtain. Sara said, "OK." She went to the box and got in. The man closed the curtain and said, "Now, watch closely. I will make Sara dance and then disappear. Abracadabra!" + +He opened the curtain and the people saw Sara dancing in the box. She was smiling and waving. The people clapped and cheered. The man said, "Now, for the final part of the trick. I will make Sara disappear and then appear again. Abracadabra!" He closed the curtain and waved his wand. He opened the curtain and the box was empty. The people gasped and clapped.

He opened the curtain and the box was still empty. The people were silent. The man looked confused and scared. He said, "Uh, oh. Something went wrong. Sara, where are you? Sara, come back!" He looked around and saw Tom. He said, "You, boy. Do you know Sara? Where is she?" Tom was crying. He said, "You made her disappear. You are a bad man. You lied to us. You did not make her dance. You took her away. Bring her back. Bring her back!" + +The man did not know what to do. He tried to wave his wand and say "Abracadabra" again and again. But nothing happened. Sara did not come back. The people were angry and scared. They booed and yelled at the man. They said, "You are a bad man. You are a fake. You are a thief. You stole Sara. Give her back. Give her back!" + +The man ran away from the stage. He left his hat, his coat, his wand and his box. He ran out of the tent and into the park. He did not know where Sara was.

They hugged them and cried. + +"Mom, Dad, we're sorry!" Lily and Max said. "We just wanted to see the band. We didn't mean to touch the drums!" + +Mom and Dad hugged them and kissed them. They were not mad at them. They knew they were just playful and curious. + +"It's okay, sweeties," Mom said. "You didn't know the rules. But you have to be careful. You can't touch things that don't belong to you. And you have to watch out for the band. They don't like to be disturbed." + +"Next time, we'll be more careful," Lily and Max said. "We'll just watch the band from far away. And we'll play with our own toys." + +Mom and Dad smiled and nodded. They took Lily and Max to the playground. They gave them their toys back. They played with them and had fun. + +They watched the band from far away. They liked their music and their march. But they did not touch their drums. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Sam were friends who lived in a village near the forest. They liked to play and explore together, but sometimes they did not share well. One day, they found a big box of toys in the forest. It had cars, dolls, balls, and puzzles. They were very happy and wanted to take the toys home. + +But Tom and Sam could not agree on how to divide the toys. Tom wanted more cars, and Sam wanted more dolls. They started to argue and pull the toys from each other. They did not notice that a man was watching them from behind a tree. He was the one who had left the box of toys in the forest. He wanted to see how the children would react. + +The man came out from behind the tree and said, "Hello, children. I see you found my box of toys. I was going to supply them to the village, but I wanted to test you first. Do you know what supply means?" + +Tom and Sam were confused. They did not know what supply meant. They looked at the man and the box of toys. They felt ashamed of their fighting. + +The man explained, "Supply means to give something to someone who needs it or wants it. I wanted to give these toys to the village, because I know many children do not have toys to play with. But I also wanted to see if you would share them with each other and with others. Sharing is a good thing to do, because it makes everyone happy and friendly. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded. They understood. They said they were sorry for being greedy and selfish. They asked the man if they could help him supply the toys to the village. + +The man smiled and said, "Of course, you can. That is very kind of you. Come, let us go to the village and make some children happy." + +Tom and Sam took the box of toys and followed the man. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that supply is a good word, and that sharing is a good thing to do. They also learned that they were happier when they were friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Mia's house for lunch. Mia's mom makes soup for them. It is hot and yummy. + +Tom and Mia sit at the table. They talk about their toys and games. They are happy and playful. They make funny faces and noises. Mia's mom smiles and says, "You two are so silly!" + +After they finish their soup, they ask Mia's mom if they can go outside.

They are good friends. +Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She named her doll Anna and played with her every day. Anna had long yellow hair, blue eyes and a pink dress. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair, dress her up and pretend that she was a famous singer. + +One day, Lily's cousin Mia came to visit. Mia was older than Lily and thought she was very smart. She saw Lily's doll and said, "What a silly doll! She looks so old and boring. I have a much better doll at home. She has curly brown hair, green eyes and a purple dress. She can talk and sing and dance. She is a famous star. You should give me your doll and I will give you mine." + +Lily was very angry and sad. She said, "No! I love my doll. She is my best friend. I don't want your doll. She is ugly and rude. I hate your doll. Go away and leave me alone!" + +Mia was very surprised and angry too. She said, "Fine! You are a baby and you have no taste. My doll is the best doll in the world. You are missing out on a great deal. I don't want to play with you or your doll. You are not my cousin anymore!" + +Lily and Mia started to cry and shout. Their mothers heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw the two girls holding their dolls and fighting. They tried to calm them down and explain that they should share and be nice to each other. They said that both dolls were beautiful and special and that they could play with both of them. They said that they should not hate each other or their dolls, but love them and be friends. + +Lily and Mia looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +They walked to the factory. They saw a hole in the fence. They crawled through the hole. They saw many machines and people. The machines made loud noises. The people wore hats and gloves. The factory was very warm. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. He pointed to a big red button. "I wonder what it does." + +"Let's find out!" Sam said. He ran to the button. He pushed it hard. + +Suddenly, a loud siren went off. The people stopped working. They looked angry. They shouted at Ben and Sam. + +"What are you doing here?

They wished they never went to the factory. They learned a hard lesson. They never played outside again. +Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play on the beach. They saw a big island far away in the water. They wanted to go there and see what was on it. They asked their mom and dad if they could go, but they said no. It was too far and too dangerous. They said there were bad things on the island that could hurt them. + +But Sam and Lily did not listen. They waited until their mom and dad were busy and they took a boat from the dock. They rowed and rowed towards the island. They thought they were very brave and smart. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky or the waves getting bigger and bigger. + +When they got to the island, they jumped out of the boat and ran to explore. They saw trees and flowers and birds and bugs. They thought it was very pretty and fun. They did not see the snake hiding in the grass or the spider on the branch. They did not hear the thunder or the wind. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big, bad lion coming out of the cave. It had sharp teeth and claws and it looked very hungry and angry. It saw Sam and Lily and ran towards them. They were very scared and screamed. They ran back to the boat, but it was too late. The lion was faster and caught them. + +They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They wished they had not gone to the island. They wished they had not tried to succeed in something that was too hard and too risky. They learned a hard lesson that day. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big crane lifting heavy things. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Can we go there?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. It is not a toy," Tom said. + +They ran to the crane and looked at it. It was yellow and black and had a long arm. It made a loud noise. + +"Wow, it is so big and strong!" Lily said. + +"I wonder how it tastes," Tom said. + +He reached out his hand and touched the crane. It was cold and hard. He put his finger in his mouth and tasted it. It was bitter and yucky. + +"Blech!" Tom spat. "It tastes bad!" + +Lily laughed. "Why did you do that? Cranes are not for eating. They are for working. They are useful." + +Tom wiped his mouth. He felt silly. He learned something new. + +"Sorry, crane. You are useful, not tasty. Thank you for your work," he said. + +They waved at the crane and went back to play. They had fun in the park. +Tom was a clumsy boy. He liked to play with his toys, but he often broke them or made a mess. One day, he saw a big jar of salt in the kitchen. He wanted to see what it was like, so he took it and opened it. + +He poured some salt on his hand and licked it. It was very salty and made him thirsty. He poured some more salt on the floor and made a pile. He thought it looked like snow. He wanted to make a snowman, so he rolled some salt into a ball. + +But then, his mom came into the kitchen. She saw the salt everywhere and was very angry. She shouted at Tom and took the jar away. She told him to clean up the mess and go to his room. Tom was sad and scared.

But then, their dog Spot ran up to them. He barked and jumped and knocked the flower out of Tom's hand. He bit the flower and chewed it. + +"Spot, no!" Lily cried. "That is a bad flower!

She sees the mess. She is angry. + +"What have you done?" she says. "This pie was for my son's birthday. It took me hours to make it. How could you be so greedy and rude?" + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mrs. Lee. We did not know. We were hungry and curious. We should have asked first." + +Mrs. Lee sighs. She says, "I forgive you, but you have to learn a lesson.

He licked her face and wagged his tail. + +"Anna, I'm not a bad dog. I'm a good dog. I do understand you. I like to wander too. But we have to be careful. The street is not for us. It's for the cars and the grown-ups with licenses. We can wander somewhere else. Somewhere more fun and more safe. Come on, let's go find a park or a playground or a pond. There are many things to wander and many friends to meet there," Max said. + +Anna looked at Max. She saw that he was right. He was a good dog. He was her best friend. He did understand her. She smiled and hugged him. + +"OK, Max, let's go. You're a good dog. You're my best friend. You do understand me. I'm sorry I was angry and sad. I'm not miserable anymore. I'm happy.

They did not know what it was, but it looked yummy. + +"Let's open it and eat it," said Ben. + +"But it is not ours," said Lily. "Maybe it belongs to Mom or Dad. We should ask them first." + +Ben did not want to ask. He wanted to try the tuna. He took a can opener and opened the can. He smelled the tuna and made a face. + +"Yuck! This is not yummy. This is fishy. I don't like fishy things," he said. + +Lily smelled the tuna too. She did not like it either. She saw a label on the can. It said "Tuna for cats". + +"Ben, this is not for us.

She had bought the tuna as a gift for their neighbor's cat, who was very sick. She wanted to make the cat feel better. + +"This tuna was not for you. This tuna was a gift for Fluffy. Fluffy is our neighbor's cat. Fluffy is very sick. Fluffy is gifted. He can do tricks and play games. He is a good cat. I wanted to give him the tuna to make him happy. But now I can't. You wasted the tuna," she said. + +Lily and Ben felt worse. They did not know Fluffy was sick. They did not know the tuna was a gift. They liked Fluffy. He was a nice cat. They wanted to make him happy too. + +"Mom, we are very sorry. We did not know. We made a big mistake. Can we do something to make it better?" they asked. + +Mom thought for a moment. She was still not happy, but she saw that Lily and Ben were sorry. She wanted to teach them a lesson. + +"Yes, you can. You can go to the store and buy another can of tuna with your own money. Then you can go to the neighbor's house and give it to Fluffy. You can also say sorry to Fluffy and his owner. And you can promise to never open things that are not yours without asking. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They learned their lesson. They took their money and went to the store. They bought another can of tuna. They went to the neighbor's house and gave it to Fluffy. They said sorry to Fluffy and his owner. They promised to never open things that are not theirs without asking. They also played with Fluffy and made him smile. + +Fluffy was happy. His owner was happy. Mom was happy. Lily and Ben were happy. They learned to be honest, respectful, and kind.

She asked her mom if she could lend her an apron. Her mom smiled and said yes. She gave Lily a pink apron with flowers on it. Lily put it on and felt very happy. + +Lily and her mom were making a cake for their neighbor, Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Lee was very kind and wealthy. She had a big house and a nice car.

Do you know what that means?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They remember that they have learned some of these words before. + +"Organized means to keep things in order and not make a mess. Recycle means to use things again and not throw them away. Waste means things that we do not need or want. Planet means the big ball where we live. And you means us and everyone else," Lily says. + +"Very good, Lily. You are very smart. And do you know why it is good to be organized and recycle your waste?" Mom says. + +Ben nods. He has an idea. + +"Because if we are organized, we can find our things easily and not lose them. And if we recycle our waste, we can save money and help the planet. The planet is our home and we have to take care of it. And if we take care of the planet, we take care of ourselves and others too," Ben says. + +"Very good, Ben. You are very smart too. I am proud of you both. You have learned a lot from your study.

I'm sorry, I dove. I won't do it again." + +Mom saw what happened and ran to them. She wrapped them in a towel and hugged them. She was angry and worried. + +"Tom, what were you thinking? You could have hurt yourself. You know you're not supposed to dive. You have to listen to me," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was having fun and I forgot.

I saw you practicing in your room, and I thought I would help you with your magic trick. I sneaked into your room and took the rabbit out of the hat when you were not looking.

He had to turn off the water for a while. He will turn it back on when he is done." + +"Really, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Really, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"Really, Lily and Tom." Mom says. "Now, why don't you go and change your clothes? You are wet and muddy. And then you can help me with the cake. It's a chocolate cake. Do you like chocolate cake?" + +"Yes, Mom, we love chocolate cake!" Lily and Tom say. + +They run to their room. They change their clothes. They are dry and clean. They go back to the kitchen. They help Mom with the cake. They lick the spoon. They are happy. They forget about the faucet. They wait for Dad and the water. They wait for the cake and the rainbow. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big package on the porch. It had their names on it. They were very happy and impatient. They wanted to open it right away. + +"Let's open it, let's open it!" Max said, pulling the package. + +"Wait, wait, we have to ask Mom first," Lily said, holding the package. + +"No, I want to see what's inside. It's ours, we don't have to ask," Max said, tugging harder. + +"Stop, stop, you'll rip it. Mom will be mad," Lily said, pushing back. + +They started to fight over the package. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not hear Mom coming. + +"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Mom said, surprised and angry. "Why are you fighting over the package?" + +They stopped and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We wanted to open it, Mom. We were impatient," Lily said. + +"We didn't want to wait, Mom. We were curious," Max said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She picked up the package and opened it. Inside, there was a big puzzle with many pieces. It had a picture of a farm with animals and trees. + +"Look, this is a gift from Grandma. She sent you a puzzle to play with. But you have to join the pieces together to see the picture. It's a fun and challenging game. But you have to work together and share and be patient. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry for fighting. They hugged Mom and said sorry. + +"It's okay, I forgive you. But next time, don't fight over things. Ask me first. And remember, joining is better than fighting. You can have more fun and learn more when you join. Now, do you want to join me and make the puzzle?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max smiled and said yes. They took the puzzle and followed Mom to the living room. They joined the pieces and made the picture. They had fun and learned a lot. They thanked Mom and Grandma for the gift. They learned that joining is better than fighting. +Lily and Ben were going to a party. They wanted to look nice, so they put on their best clothes. Lily wore a pink dress and a cute bow in her hair. Ben wore a blue shirt and a tie. He did not like the tie. It was too tight and itchy. + +"Can I take off the tie, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, you have to wear it. It makes you look handsome," Mom said. + +"But it hurts my neck," Ben said. + +"Sorry, honey. It's only for a little while. You'll have fun at the party, I promise," Mom said. + +They got in the car and drove to the party. It was at a big house with a lot of balloons and toys. Lily and Ben were excited. They saw their friends and ran to play with them. They played games, ate cake, and opened presents. + +Ben got a big box with a bow. He opened it and saw a toy train. He loved trains. He was very happy. He thanked the person who gave him the gift and hugged them. + +Lily got a small box with a ribbon. She opened it and saw a necklace. It was shiny and pretty. She liked it. She thanked the person who gave her the gift and smiled. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a clown. He had a big red nose, a funny hat, and a big horn. He made jokes and did tricks. He made everyone laugh. + +He saw Ben and Lily and walked to them. He said, "Hello, kids. You look very nice today. I like your dress and your bow, Lily. And I like your shirt and your tie, Ben." + +He reached for Ben's tie and pulled it. It was a fake tie. It came off and made a funny sound. Ben was surprised. He did not know it was a fake tie. He looked at Mom. She winked at him. She had given him the fake tie as a joke. + +Everyone laughed. Ben laughed too. He did not mind the joke. He was glad he did not have to wear the real tie. He put the fake tie on the clown's nose and said, "Here, you can have it. It makes you look funny." + +The clown said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. And you are very smart. You figured out my trick. You are a clever boy." + +He gave Ben a balloon and a sticker. He gave Lily a balloon and a sticker too. They thanked him and said goodbye. + +They had a lot of fun at the party. They were happy. They went home with their gifts and their balloons. They told Mom and Dad about the party and the clown and the fake tie. They laughed again. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "We love you. Thank you for the party." + +Mom and Dad said, "We love you too. You're welcome. We're glad you had a good time." + +They went to bed and dreamed of trains and necklaces and clowns and ties. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll and a book. They liked to share their toys and have fun together. + +"Look, Ben, the sky is getting dark," Lily said. "Maybe it will rain soon." + +"Let's go home then," Ben said. "We don't want to get wet." + +They packed their toys in their backpacks and started to walk home. Lily saw an umbrella on a bench. It was red and yellow and had flowers on it. + +"Wow, what a pretty umbrella!" Lily said. "Can we take it, Ben?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, that's not ours. Someone else left it here. Maybe they will come back for it." + +"But what if it rains and we get wet?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked around and saw a big tree. "We can go under the tree if it rains," he said. "It will keep us dry." + +Lily nodded and followed Ben to the tree. They sat under the branches and waited for their mom to pick them up. They looked at their book and read some stories. They felt sleepy and yawned. + +"Are you sleepy, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, I'm sleepy," Lily said. "Are you sleepy too?" + +"Yes, Lily, I'm sleepy too," Ben said. "Let's close our eyes and rest a bit." + +They closed their eyes and cuddled with their toys. They felt warm and cozy under the tree. + +Soon, their mom came and saw them sleeping. She smiled and gently woke them up. + +"Hi, my sweeties, I'm here to take you home," she said. "Did you have a good time at the park?" + +"Yes, mom, we had a good time," Lily and Ben said. "We played with our toys and read a book. We also saw a pretty umbrella, but we didn't take it." + +"That's very good, my darlings, you are very honest and kind," mom said. "Now, let's go home and have some snacks. You must be hungry." + +She helped them put on their backpacks and held their hands. They walked to the car and got in. Mom gave them each a cookie and a juice box. They ate and drank and felt happy. + +"Mom, can we include the umbrella in our story tonight?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my love, we can include the umbrella in our story tonight," mom said. "What do you think the umbrella's name is?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment and then said together: "Flora!" + +Mom laughed and hugged them. "Flora the umbrella, I like that," she said. "Let's make up a story about Flora the umbrella and her adventures." + +They drove home and talked about Flora the umbrella. They were excited to hear the story before bedtime. They loved their mom and their toys and their stories. They were very happy. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for her dolls, a basket for her books, and a jar for her marbles. She loved her marbles. They were shiny and colorful and made a nice sound when she rolled them on the floor. + +One day, she was playing with her marbles in the living room. She saw a big red one that was her favorite. She wanted to put it in her jar, but the jar was on the shelf. She had to climb on the chair to reach it. She was not supposed to climb on the chair, but she really wanted to organize her marbles. + +She got on the chair and stretched her arm to the shelf. She grabbed the jar and tried to open it. But the jar was too heavy and slippery. It slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. The jar broke and the marbles scattered everywhere. Lily heard a loud crash and a scream. + +She looked down and saw her mom. Her mom had stepped on a marble and slipped. She fell on the floor and hit her head. She was bleeding and crying. Lily felt scared and sorry. She had made a big mess and hurt her mom. + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to organize my marbles." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you didn't mean to hurt me. But you have to be careful when you play with your marbles. They can be dangerous if you don't put them away. And you shouldn't climb on the chair. You could fall and hurt yourself too." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't do it again. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and go to the doctor. I need a band-aid for my head." +Tommy was a big boy who liked to sleep in his own bed. But sometimes he had bad dreams and he wet his bed. He felt ashamed and scared when that happened. He did not want his mommy and daddy to know. + +One night, he had a very bad dream about a big monster who chased him. He woke up and felt something wet under him. He had wet his bed again. He started to cry and ran to his mommy and daddy's room. He knocked on the door and said, "Mommy, daddy, help me!" + +His mommy and daddy opened the door and saw him. They hugged him and said, "What's wrong, Tommy? Did you have a bad dream?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, and I wet my bed. I'm sorry, mommy, daddy. I'm a bad boy." + +His mommy and daddy said, "No, Tommy, you're not a bad boy. You're a good boy who had an accident. It's okay, it happens sometimes. We love you no matter what. Come on, let's go change your clothes and your mattress." + +They took him to his room and helped him change his clothes. They lifted his mattress and saw that it was very wet. They said, "Oh, Tommy, this mattress is too wet. We need to get a new one. But don't worry, we have a spare one in the closet. We'll put it on your bed and you can sleep on it tonight." + +They got the spare mattress and put it on his bed. They tucked him in and kissed him good night. They said, "Sleep well, Tommy. We'll get you a new mattress tomorrow. And remember, we love you very much." + +Tommy felt better and said, "Thank you, mommy, daddy. I love you too. Good night." + +He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He did not have any more bad dreams that night. He did not wet his bed again. He was happy. +Ben and Mia are playing with a big toy car. The car has a long button on the side. Ben likes to press the button and make the car go fast. Mia likes to make the car stop and turn. + +"Let me press the button!" Ben says. He grabs the car from Mia. + +"No, it's my turn!" Mia says. She pulls the car back. + +They tug and tug on the car. The car makes a loud noise. The button breaks off. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Mia say. They look at the broken button. They feel sad. + +They hear Mom coming. They are scared. Mom will be mad. They broke the car. + +"Ben, Mia, what happened?" Mom asks. She sees the car and the button. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Ben and Mia say. "We were playing with the car and we destroyed the button." + +Mom sighs. She is not happy. But she is not mad. She knows Ben and Mia are little. They make mistakes. + +"It's okay, Ben and Mia," Mom says. "But you have to be careful with your toys. And you have to share. Can you do that?" + +"Yes, Mom," Ben and Mia say. They hug Mom. They hug each other. + +They pick up the car and the button. They try to fix it. They play nicely. They learn a lesson. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear named Stitch. Stitch was unusual because he had a zipper on his back and a pocket inside. Lily and Ben liked to hide things in Stitch's pocket, like candy, coins, or notes. + +One day, Lily and Ben found a shiny necklace in their mom's room. They thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it. They decided to hide it in Stitch's pocket, so their mom would not find it. They zipped up Stitch's back and put him on their bed. + +Later, their mom came to their room and saw Stitch. She smiled and said, "What a cute teddy bear! Can I hug him?" Lily and Ben said, "No, mom, he is ours!" But their mom did not listen. She picked up Stitch and gave him a big hug. She felt something hard in his back and said, "What is this?" She opened the zipper and saw the necklace. She was very angry and said, "This is my necklace! How did you get it? Did you take it from my room?" + +Lily and Ben were scared and said, "We are sorry, mom, we just liked it. We did not mean to take it." But their mom did not believe them. She said, "You are very naughty and dishonest. You should not take things that are not yours. You have to give back the necklace and say sorry. And you have to give away Stitch. You do not deserve him." + +Lily and Ben cried and said, "No, mom, please, not Stitch! He is our best friend. We love him." But their mom did not change her mind. She took Stitch and the necklace and left the room. She gave Stitch to a charity shop, where he was sold to another family. Lily and Ben never saw Stitch again. They were very sad and missed him a lot. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours. You might lose something you love. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they want to put on a show for Mom and Dad. They go to the basement. The basement is their theater. + +They find some old clothes and hats. They make costumes. They find some toys and books.

They help Mom and Dad clean up the basement. They make it tidy again. They go upstairs. They have some cookies and milk. They talk about their show.

Anna likes to stretch her arms and legs and feel strong and calm. + +One day, Anna's mom has to go to work and leaves Anna with her grandma. Grandma says she will do yoga with Anna, but she does not know how. Anna says she will teach her. + +Anna gets her yoga mat and her book with pictures of yoga shapes. She shows grandma how to do a tree, a cat, a dog, and a butterfly. Grandma tries to copy Anna, but she is not very good. She wobbles and falls and makes funny noises. + +Anna laughs and says, "Grandma, you have to listen to me. I am the yoga teacher. You have to do what I say and follow the pictures. Then you will be good at yoga." + +Grandma smiles and says, "You are very independent, Anna. You are a good yoga teacher. But maybe you can also listen to me sometimes. I can teach you other things, like how to bake cookies or how to knit a scarf." + +Anna thinks for a moment and says, "OK, grandma. I will listen to you too. But first, let's finish our yoga. I want to show you how to do a star." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it. They had a lot of fun. But then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and showing its teeth. Sara and Ben were frightened. They dropped the ball and ran away. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. They looked for their mom and dad, but they could not see them. They felt lost and scared. They wished they were home. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had seen them running and followed them. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. I'm here. I'm sorry I lost sight of you for a moment. Are you OK?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were happy to see their mom. They told her about the big dog. Their mom said, "That dog was not nice. He should not chase children. But you did the right thing. You ran away and called for help. You were brave." + +She picked up their ball and said, "Let's go home now. It's getting late. And promise me you will always stay close to me when we are in the park. OK?" + +Sara and Ben said, "We promise, mom. We love you." They held their mom's hand and walked home. They felt safe and warm. + +The moral value of the story is: Stay close to your parents when you are in a public place. They will protect you and help you. If you are in danger, run away and call for help. Be brave and smart. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were in a fairy tale. Lily was a princess and Tom was a knight. They had a castle, a horse, a dragon and a magic wand. + +Suddenly, a loud noise came from the kitchen. They heard their mom scream. They ran to see what was wrong. They saw a big mess on the floor. There was milk, eggs, flour and sugar everywhere. And there was a strange man in a black coat and a hat. He was holding a bag full of cookies. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. "What are you doing here?" + +The man laughed. He was very rude. He said, "I am the cookie thief. I came to take all your cookies. And you can't stop me. I have a magic wand too. See?" He waved a stick in the air. Nothing happened. + +"That's not a magic wand. That's a stick," Tom said. "You are lying. You are not a cookie thief. You are a bad man. You made a mess and scared our mom. You need to go away." + +The man frowned. He said, "You are smart, little knight. But you are too late. I have all the cookies. And I will disappear with them. Watch!" He waved his stick again. Nothing happened. + +Lily smiled. She said, "You can't disappear. You don't have magic. But I do. I have a real magic wand. And I will make you go away. Watch!" She waved her wand in the air. A bright light flashed. The man was gone. The cookies were back. The mess was gone. And their mom was happy. + +Lily and Tom hugged their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We didn't know there was a bad man in the kitchen. We were playing in the living room. We are glad you are okay." + +Their mom hugged them back. She said, "I am proud of you, Lily and Tom. You were brave and smart. You told the truth and used your magic for good. You saved the cookies and the day. You are my heroes." +Lily liked to create things with her clay. She made animals, flowers, and houses. She was gifted with her hands. She wanted to make something special for her mom's birthday. She looked at the books and saw a picture of a cactus. It was green and had spikes. She thought it was pretty and different. + +She took some green clay and rolled it into a ball. Then she made a smaller ball and stuck it on top. She used a toothpick to make spikes all over. She was very careful not to poke herself. She made a little flower and put it on the cactus. She was proud of her work. She put it on a plate and hid it under her bed. + +The next day, she woke up early and ran to her mom's room. She wanted to surprise her with her gift. She said, "Mom, mom, wake up! I have something for you!" She lifted the plate and showed her the cactus. Her mom smiled and said, "Oh, Lily, what a lovely cactus! You are so gifted! Thank you, sweetie!" + +Lily was happy and hugged her mom. She said, "You're welcome, mom! I love you!" She put the plate on the nightstand and climbed into the bed. She snuggled with her mom and closed her eyes. + +But she did not see the cat that jumped on the nightstand. The cat was curious and smelled the cactus. It did not like the spikes and scratched it. The cactus fell off the plate and rolled onto the bed. It landed on Lily's arm and poked her. She screamed and cried. Her mom woke up and saw the blood. She was scared and angry. She yelled, "Lily, what have you done? This is not a real cactus, this is clay! You could have hurt yourself or me! This is not a gift, this is a mess!" + +Lily was shocked and sad. She did not mean to make a mess or hurt anyone. She just wanted to make her mom happy. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry!" She ran out of the room and hid in the closet. She wished she never made the cactus. She wished she never saw the picture. She wished she never used the clay. She wished she was not gifted. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They throw the ball and run after it. They fly the kite and watch it go high. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog sees the ball and runs to get it. Anna and Ben are scared. They think the dog will take their ball. + +"Hey, dog, that is our ball!" Ben says. He tries to get the ball from the dog. But the dog is faster and stronger. It runs away with the ball in its mouth. + +Anna and Ben chase the dog. They shout and wave their arms. But the dog does not stop. It thinks they are playing too. It runs around the park, wagging its tail and barking. + +Soon, Anna and Ben are tired. They stop and sit on a bench. They are sad. They have lost their ball. They do not have anything to play with. + +Then, they see the kite. The kite is still flying in the sky. It is bright and colorful. It dances in the wind. Anna and Ben smile. They have an idea. + +They get up and run to the kite. They take turns to hold the string. They make the kite go up and down, left and right. They pretend the kite is a bird or a plane. They make silly noises and faces. + +They laugh and have fun. They forget about the dog and the ball. They are happy. They have their kite. They have each other. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be singers on a stage. They use a big box and a broom as a stage and a microphone. They sing songs they know and make up new ones. + +"La la la, I am a star, I sing so well, I have a big fan!" Lily sings and dances on the stage. Ben claps and cheers for her. + +"Wow, Lily, you are great! Can I sing too?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, Ben, it is your turn. What song will you sing?" Lily says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He wants to sing a funny song. He remembers a song his mom taught him. It is about a monkey and a banana. He starts to sing. + +"Monkey, monkey, see the banana, monkey, monkey, want the banana, monkey, monkey, reach for the banana, monkey, monkey, slip on the banana, ha ha ha!" Ben sings and makes a funny face. + +Lily laughs so hard. She thinks Ben is very funny. She joins him on the stage. They sing the song together. They have a lot of fun. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is Lily's mom. She is calling them for lunch. + +"Lily, Ben, time to eat! Come inside, please!" Lily's mom says. + +Lily and Ben stop singing. They look at each other. They are hungry. They want to eat. + +"OK, mom, we are coming!" Lily says. + +They leave the stage and the broom and the box. They run inside the house. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat sandwiches and fruit. They tell Lily's mom about their pretend show. Lily's mom smiles and says they are very creative and talented. + +"Can we play pretend again after lunch?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, you can. But don't forget to clean up your stage and your toys, OK?" Lily's mom says. + +"OK, mom, we will. Thank you for the lunch. It was yummy!" Ben says. + +Lily and Ben finish their lunch. They hug Lily's mom and go back outside. They are happy. They love to play pretend. They are singers on a stage. They are funny and they are friends. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Lily went for a walk with her mommy. They saw a big tree with lots of leaves. "Look mommy, the tree is so big!" said Lily. "Yes, it is," replied her mommy. Suddenly, Lily's nose started to run. "Mommy, my nose is wet," said Lily. "Here, use this tissue to wipe your nose," said her mommy. + +Lily wiped her nose and they continued their walk. They saw a bird sitting quietly on a branch. "Mommy, the bird is not making any noise," said Lily. "Yes, it is being quiet," replied her mommy. + +As they walked further, they saw a man selling lemonade. "Mommy, can we have some lemonade?" asked Lily. "Sure, let's go ask the man," said her mommy. They went up to the man and Lily took a sip. "Ew, it's bitter!" exclaimed Lily. "That's okay, not everyone likes bitter things," said her mommy. + +After finishing their walk, Lily and her mommy went back home. "Thank you for taking me on a walk, mommy," said Lily. "You're welcome, sweetie," replied her mommy. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to ride her bike in the park.

How are you today?" + +The guard smiled and said, "I'm doing well, thank you. Are you being careful while riding your bike?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I am. I always wear my helmet and look both ways before crossing the road." + +The guard smiled again and said, "That's very good. Keep it up!" + +But as Lily rode away, she didn't see the big rock in the middle of the path. She hit it and fell off her bike. She hurt her arm and started to cry.

Timmy was so happy and ran back home to show Blue his prize. When he got home, he saw that Blue was sad in his birdcage. Timmy realized that Blue wanted to be free and fly around like the birds in the park. + +So, Timmy opened the birdcage and let Blue fly out. Blue was so happy to be free and flew around the room. Timmy felt happy too because he knew that Blue was happy. From that day on, Timmy would take Blue to the park and they would watch the birds fly around together. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and sing songs. One day, her mom took her to the park to play. There, she met a boy named Timmy. + +Timmy was not very polite. He kept pushing Lily and taking her toys without asking. Lily didn't like that, but she didn't know what to do. + +Finally, Lily told Timmy, "Please stop pushing me and taking my toys without asking. It's not polite." But Timmy ignored her and kept doing it. So, Lily decided to play with someone else who was nice to her. + +As she walked away, she noticed her pants were falling down. She realized her waistband was too loose. She asked her mom to tighten it for her. And then, she went back to playing happily with her new friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play in the park with her friends. One day, Lily's friend Jack fell and got a little cut on his knee. Lily's mommy came to help and put a patch on Jack's knee. + +Jack said, "Thank you, Lily's mommy. How does the patch work?" + +Lily's mommy said, "The patch helps your knee feel better. It is like a little band-aid." + +Lily and Jack continued to play in the park and had lots of fun. When it was time to go home, Jack said to Lily, "Your mommy is so nice. She knows how to work the patch." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, she is the best mommy ever." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved honey.

It's harmless and just for looking at." Lily was sad but she still loved the rainbow. + +Then her mommy had an idea. She took a ribbon and tied it around Lily's hair.

Let's jump in and have a swim!" + +Mama Bear laughed and said, "We don't want to swim in the stream. It's a lazy stream and it's not deep enough. We just need to fill up our bucket with the water." + +So Mama Bear filled the bucket with the water and said, "Let's go home now." + +Little Bear was sad but Mama Bear said, "Don't worry. Next time we'll come back and have a swim." + +Little Bear smiled and said, "Yay! I can't wait!" + +And with that, the happy bears headed home. +Mommy was worried.

Anna touched the buckle and said, "That buckle needs to come off, it's too tight." + +The duck replied, "My buckle won't come off. My owner is dead, and no one can take the buckle off." + +Anna was so surprised that the duck could talk, but she knew what she had to do. She said, "Don't worry Duck, I can help you. My mom taught me how to take off buckles, so I'm sure I can help." + +Anna pulled and pulled but the buckle wouldn't come off.

They kept looking for feathers and had lots of fun flying around together. +Once upon a time, there was a brave little whale who dreamed of being successful.

That wheat is not for you to eat!" + +Little Bunny: "But I'm so hungry!" + +Big Bunny: "You should have thought of that before!" + +Little Bunny blinked and looked down dejectedly. Big Bunny could see he was sorry, so he shook his head and let out a big sigh. + +Big Bunny: "I'm not mad at you, little one. I'm just worried that if you keep eating the wheat, you'll use it all up and then no one will have anything to eat!" + +Little Bunny nodded and hopped away. + +The moral of this story is that there is always enough for everyone if we are careful with our resources.

She loved to play and explore the world around her. +One day, Jane wanted to go for an adventure.
