He ate his toast and drank his juice. He felt better. + +But then he saw his mom's coffee on the table. He was curious and wanted to try it. He reached for the cup and pulled it. But the cup was too heavy and hot. It spilled on the table and on Ben's shirt. Ben felt wet and burned. He screamed and dropped the cup. His mom heard him and came to see what happened. + +She saw the mess and Ben's shirt. She was angry and scared. She said he should not touch her coffee. She said it was dangerous and bad for him. She said he was naughty and careless. She took him to the bathroom and took off his shirt. She put some cold water on his chest and said he was lucky he did not get hurt more. + +Ben felt sad and sorry. He did not mean to spill the coffee. He did not know it was hot and heavy. He wanted to make his mom happy, not angry. He said he was sorry and he loved her. He asked her to forgive him. + +His mom felt sorry too. She knew he did not do it on purpose. She knew he was curious and sleepy. She loved him too. She said she forgave him and she was sorry she yelled at him. She said he should be more careful and listen to her. She said she would get him a new shirt and clean the table. + +She hugged him and said they would be okay. She said they would go to school and have a good day. She said she would make him some hot chocolate when they came back. Ben smiled and hugged her back. He said he would be good and he would wait for the hot chocolate. He said he did not like coffee anyway. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big pie on the table. It smelled good and looked yummy. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said the pie was for their dad, who was coming home soon. She told them to go to their room and wait. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until their mom went to the bathroom, and then they crawled to the table. They were very quiet and sneaky. They reached for the pie, but they did not see the cat. The cat was alert and saw them. The cat liked pie too, and wanted to stop them. The cat jumped on the table and hissed at them. + +Tom and Lily were scared and surprised. They let go of the pie, but it was too late. The pie fell off the table and landed on the floor. It made a big mess. Their mom heard the noise and came back. She saw the pie, the cat, and the twins. She was very angry and sad. She said they were naughty and spoiled the pie. She said they had to clean up and say sorry to their dad. + +Tom and Lily felt bad and ashamed. They realized they should have listened to their mom and waited for their dad. They learned their lesson and said sorry to their mom and their dad. They helped to clean up and promised to be good. Their dad was kind and forgave them. He said he loved them, but they had to respect the rules. He said he had another pie in the car, and they could all share it later. Tom and Lily were happy and grateful. They hugged their dad and their mom and their cat. They enjoyed the pie and thanked their dad. They never crawled to the table again. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big house near the park. It looked old and scary. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They went to the door and pushed. It was not locked. They went in. It was dark and dusty. They heard a strange noise. It was a song. A rough song. It sounded angry and sad. + +They followed the song. It came from a room. They opened the door. They saw a man. He was sitting on a chair. He had a guitar. He was singing the song. He looked at them. He was not happy. He was angry. + +He shouted at them. He said they were bad. He said they should not be there. He said he would lock them in. He got up. He ran to the door. He slammed it. He locked it. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They cried. They wanted to go out. They wanted to go home. They banged on the door. They shouted for help. But no one heard them. No one came. They were trapped. + +The moral of the story is: Do not go into places you do not know. They might be dangerous. Listen to your parents. They know what is best for you. +Anna and Ben were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they found a big balloon in their backyard. It was red and shiny and had a basket under it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "Do you think we can fly in it?" + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But how do we make it go up?" + +They looked around and saw a big tank next to the balloon. It had a hose and a valve. Ben read the label on the tank. It said "gas". + +"I think this is how we make it go up," Ben said. "Gas makes the balloon big and light. Let's try it!" + +He opened the valve and gas came out of the hose. He put the hose in the balloon and the balloon started to grow. Anna and Ben cheered and climbed into the basket. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asked. + +"Yes!" Anna said. "Let's go!" + +They pulled a rope and the balloon lifted off the ground. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They saw their house, their street, their town, and more. They felt like they were in a dream. + +"This is amazing!" Anna said. "We are flying!" + +They did not know that the gas tank was almost empty. They did not know that the balloon would soon start to go down. They did not know that they were heading towards a big forest. They did not know that they were in for a big adventure. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big melon on a vine. It is green and round. + +"Can we eat it?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But we have to ask Mom first." + +They run to the house and find Mom. Mom smiles and says they can have the melon. She gives them a knife and a plate. + +Anna and Ben go back to the garden. They cut the melon in half. It is red and juicy inside. They scoop out some seeds and make a pile. Then they each take a big piece of melon and bite it. + +"Mmm, it is sweet and cold," Anna says. + +"It is yummy and wet," Ben says. + +They eat and eat until they are full. Then they lean back on the grass and look at the sky. It is blue and sunny. They hear the birds sing and the bees buzz. They feel happy and peaceful. + +They close their eyes and nap. They dream of more melons. +Tom and Mia like to play catch in the park. They have a red ball that they throw to each other. Sometimes they run and jump to catch the ball. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. + +One day, they see a new path in the park. It is made of stones and dirt. They wonder where it goes. They decide to follow it with their ball. They take turns to throw and catch the ball as they walk on the path. + +The path leads them to a big pond. They see ducks and fish in the water. They also see a bridge that goes over the pond. They want to cross the bridge and see what is on the other side. They throw the ball one more time and run to the bridge. + +But the ball does not land in Mia's hands. It bounces off the bridge and falls into the pond. They hear a splash and see the red ball sink into the water. They are sad and scared. They do not know how to get their ball back. They look at each other and start to cry. + +Then they hear a quack and see a duck swim to the ball. The duck picks up the ball with its beak and brings it to the edge of the pond. The duck drops the ball on the grass and wags its tail. Tom and Mia are happy and surprised. They thank the duck and hug each other. They pick up their ball and run back to the path. They decide to play catch in the park and not near the pond. They are glad that the duck helped them. They think the duck is their new friend. +Anna liked to slide on the big slide at the park. She slid fast and felt happy. But one day, she saw a boy who could not slide. He had a big cast on his leg and crutches. He looked sad and lonely. + +Anna wanted to help the boy. She went to him and said, "Hi, I am Anna. Do you want to slide with me?" The boy smiled and said, "I am Ben. Thank you, but I can't slide. My leg is broken and it hurts." + +Anna thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "I have a thumb. You have a thumb. We can slide with our thumbs. Look, I will show you." She took her thumb and slid it on the slide. It made a funny sound. She laughed and said, "See, it is fun. You try it." + +Ben was curious. He took his thumb and slid it on the slide. It made a funny sound too. He laughed and said, "You are right, it is fun. You are very clever and kind." + +Anna and Ben became friends. They slid with their thumbs and played other games.

They learned that sliding with thumbs was cool. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play and learn. They also liked to eat dessert after dinner, like cake or ice cream. But sometimes they ate too much dessert and felt sick. + +One day, their mom made a big chocolate cake for dessert. Sara and Tom were very happy and wanted to eat a lot of cake. But their mom said, "You can only have one slice each. If you eat too much, you will get a tummy ache." + +Sara and Tom nodded and said, "OK, mom." They ate their dinner and waited for dessert. When their mom brought the cake, Sara and Tom gazed at it with big eyes. It looked so yummy and sweet. + +Their mom cut two slices of cake and gave one to Sara and one to Tom. She said, "Enjoy your dessert, but don't ask for more. Remember what I said." + +Sara and Tom said, "Thank you, mom." They ate their cake slowly and savored every bite. It was the best cake they ever had. They felt happy and full. + +But then they saw that there was still a lot of cake left on the plate. Sara and Tom looked at each other and felt tempted. They wanted to have another slice of cake. They thought, "Maybe mom won't notice. Maybe we won't get sick. Maybe we can eat more cake." + +They looked at their mom, who was busy washing the dishes. They thought, "Now is our chance. Let's grab another slice of cake." + +But then they remembered what their mom said. They remembered how she made the cake for them with love and care. They remembered how she wanted them to be healthy and happy. They remembered how they promised to listen to her. + +They looked at each other again and shook their heads. They said, "No, we won't eat more cake. We will obey our mom. We will be good twins." + +They put their plates in the sink and hugged their mom. They said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry for thinking of eating more cake. We are happy with what we have." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you, too, Sara and Tom. I am proud of you for being honest and respectful. You are good twins." + +Sara and Tom felt warm and cozy in their mom's arms. They learned that dessert is good, but too much dessert is bad. They learned that listening to their mom is good, but disobeying their mom is bad. They learned that being good twins is good, but being greedy twins is bad. + +They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to be thankful and content. They learned to gaze at dessert, but not to grab it. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit a new country with their moms. The country has many animals and trees. + +"Look, Tom, a big lion!" Sue says. She points to a cage. The lion has yellow fur and sharp teeth. + +"Wow, Sue, he is scary!" Tom says. He holds his mom's hand. He does not want to go near the cage. + +But Sue is careless. She runs to the cage. She wants to touch the lion. She does not listen to her mom. + +"Sue, stop! It is dangerous!" her mom shouts. She runs after Sue. + +But it is too late. Sue puts her hand through the bars. The lion bites her hand. Sue screams. She is hurt. + +Tom and his mom hear Sue scream. They run to help her. They see blood on her hand. + +"Oh, Sue, you are silly!" Tom says. He is sad and angry. He does not want Sue to be hurt. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, mom. I was careless. I wanted to see the lion. I did not think he would bite me." Sue says. She cries. She is sorry and scared. + +Her mom hugs her. She calls a doctor. The doctor comes and helps Sue. He puts a bandage on her hand. He says she will be okay. + +Tom and his mom hug Sue too. They say they are glad she is okay. They say they still love her. But they also say she has to be careful. She has to listen to her mom. She has to respect the animals. + +Sue nods. She says she learned her lesson. She says she will be careful. She says she loves Tom and her mom too. + +They all smile. They decide to leave the lion alone. They go to see other animals. They have fun. They enjoy their visit to the new country. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars.

Tom said. + +Ben looked at them. He felt ashamed and sorry. He had been rude and mean to them. He realized that his car was not important. He wanted to have friends. + +"Thank you, Tom and Sam. I am sorry for being rude and mean to you. You are very kind and nice. I would like to play with you and your cars. Can we be friends?" Ben said. + +Tom and Sam smiled and nodded. They gave Ben some of their cars and they played together. They had fun and laughed. They became friends. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to be kind and share than to be rude and greedy. Friends are more important than things. +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to run and jump and swing on the old tire. They were having fun until they heard a loud buzz. + +"Ouch!" Ben said. He rubbed his arm. "A mosquito bit me!" + +Anna looked at his arm. She saw a red bump. She felt sorry for Ben. She hated mosquitoes too. They were mean and itchy. + +"Let's go inside," Anna said. "Maybe Mom can help." + +But Ben shook his head. He wanted to keep playing. He did not want to let the mosquito win. + +"No, I'm brave," Ben said. "I can stay outside. Maybe we can find the mosquito and yell at it." + +Anna smiled. She thought Ben was very brave. She wanted to help him. She looked around for the mosquito. She saw it flying near the fence. She pointed at it. + +"There it is!" Anna said. "Let's go get it!" + +Anna and Ben ran towards the fence. They waved their arms and shouted. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Anna yelled. + +"Leave us alone, mosquito!" Ben yelled. + +The mosquito heard them. It was scared of their loud voices.

Lily smiled and gave her a hug. "Good job, Daisy. You are a smart doll." + +Another doll raised her hand and said, "Lily, can I read too?" Lily looked at her and said, "Of course, Rosie. You are a pretty doll. You have a pink dress and a bow. Do you like pink?" + +Rosie nodded and said, "Yes, I like pink. It is a nice color. Can you show me a pink word?"

You are a fast learner." + +Lily was happy to teach her dolls. She thought they were attractive and fun. She loved to read with them on the couch. She said, "You are my best friends. I will teach you more words tomorrow." The dolls smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. We love you too." They hugged and kissed and fell asleep on the couch. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. + +"Roar!" Tom said. "I am a fierce lion and I will catch you, bird!" + +"Tweet, tweet!" Lily said. "You can't catch me, lion! I am too fast and I can fly!" + +They ran around the sofa and the table, laughing and having fun. But then they heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like a big bang. + +"What was that?" Tom asked, stopping his roar. + +"I don't know," Lily said, stopping her tweet. "Maybe it was a monster!" + +They looked at each other with wide eyes. They were scared of monsters. They decided to go upstairs and see what it was. They held hands and walked slowly to the stairs. + +"Maybe we should number the stairs," Lily said. "That will make us brave." + +"OK," Tom said. "You start." + +Lily nodded. She put her foot on the first stair and said, "One." + +Tom followed her and said, "Two." + +They kept going, saying the numbers out loud, until they reached the top of the stairs. They saw a door that was open. The noise came from there. + +"Ten," Lily said. "That's the last stair. Are you ready, Tom?" + +"Yes," Tom said. "Let's go, Lily." + +They walked to the door and peeked inside. They saw their big brother, Sam, playing with his drums. He was making a lot of noise with his sticks. + +"Hi, Tom and Lily," Sam said. "Do you like my music?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They were not scared anymore. They realized it was not a monster, just their brother. + +"Hi, Sam," they said. "We like your music. It's very loud." + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asked. + +"Sure," Sam said. "You can be my singers. Come on, let's make a song!" + +Tom and Lily ran into the room and joined Sam. They sang and drummed and had fun. They forgot about the lion and the bird. They were happy. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play together. One day, they go with Mom and Dad to a big hotel. The hotel has many rooms and many people. + +Tom and Anna want to explore the hotel. They see a long hall with many doors. They think it is fun to crawl on the floor and peek under the doors. They crawl and crawl and see different things. Some rooms have beds and toys. Some rooms have tables and chairs. Some rooms have nothing. + +"Look, Anna, this room has a big cake!" Tom says. He sees a cake with candles and flowers on a table. He smells the cake. It smells good. + +"Wow, Tom, can we have some cake?" Anna says. She likes cake. She crawls after Tom to the door. + +"No, Anna, we can't. The cake is not for us. It is for someone else. Maybe it is their birthday." Tom says. He knows they should not take things that are not theirs. + +"But I want cake, Tom. Just a little bit. No one will know." Anna says. She is hungry and curious. She crawls to the table and reaches for the cake. + +"Anna, stop! That is bad. Mom and Dad will be angry. Come back!" Tom says. He is scared and worried. He tries to pull Anna away from the cake. + +But it is too late. The door opens and a lady comes in. She sees Tom and Anna on the floor with the cake. She is not happy. She is very angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? How did you get in? This is my cake! Go away!" She shouts. She picks up the cake and slams the door. + +Tom and Anna are shocked and scared.

They are also angry. But they are also glad that Tom and Anna are safe. They say they love them. They say they will talk more later. They say they need to go back to their room. + +Tom and Anna follow Mom and Dad to their room. They do not want to crawl anymore. They do not want to see the cake anymore. They just want to be with Mom and Dad. They learn their lesson. They know that the hotel is not a regular place to play. They know that they need to listen to Mom and Dad. They know that they need to be good. +Lily liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, draw pictures, and play games. But she did not like her tutor. Her tutor was a mean lady who always shouted at her and made her do hard work. Her tutor said Lily was ignorant and lazy. + +One day, Lily's tutor gave her a big book with many words. She told Lily to read it and answer the questions. Lily tried to read, but the words were too big and strange. She did not understand them. She asked her tutor for help, but her tutor just said, "Figure it out yourself. You are not a baby." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to read the book. She wanted to play with her toys. She had an idea. She took the book and hid it under her bed. Then she went to her toy box and took out her favorite doll. She pretended to be the tutor and the doll was Lily. She said, "You are ignorant and lazy. You have to read this big book and answer the questions. Or else you will get no dessert." + +The doll said, "I don't want to read the book. I want to play with you. Can we be friends?" Lily said, "No, we cannot be friends. You are a bad student. You have to do what I say." The doll said, "But the book is too hard. I don't understand the words. Can you help me?" Lily said, "No, I cannot help you. Figure it out yourself. You are not a baby." + +The doll said, "You are a mean lady. You don't care about me. You only care about the book. You make me sad and angry." Lily said, "I don't care if you are sad and angry. You have to do your work. Now read the book and answer the questions." The doll said, "No, I will not read the book. I will not answer the questions. I will do what I want." Lily said, "What will you do?" The doll said, "I will shrug and say, 'I don't know.'" Lily said, "You will shrug and say, 'I don't know?' That is very rude. You will get in trouble." The doll said, "I don't care. I don't like you. You are a bad tutor." + +Lily laughed.

I got it for a costume party. Do you want to try it on?" + +Sam and Mia nod. They take turns putting the mustache on their faces. They look at each other and giggle. They say, "We have mustaches too!" + +Dad takes a picture of them with his phone. He says, "You are very cute with mustaches. But you know what? I like you better without them. You are my sweet kids." + +He takes off the mustache and kisses them. He says, "Now, let's go and have some snacks. Are you hungry?" + +Sam and Mia say, "Yes, dad! We are hungry!" + +They hold their dad's hand and go to the kitchen. They leave the mustache and the toys on the floor. They are happy. +Tom was a gifted boy who liked to drive his toy car. He drove it very fast and made loud noises. He did not care if he bumped into other toys or people. He thought he was the best driver in the world. + +One day, he drove his toy car outside and saw a big house with a red roof. He wanted to drive on the roof and see how high he could go. He found a ladder and climbed up with his toy car. He drove on the roof and felt very happy. + +But then, he drove too fast and lost control. His toy car flew off the roof and landed on the ground. It broke into pieces. Tom was scared and sad. He wanted his toy car back. He cried and cried. + +A kind lady who lived in the house heard him and came out. She saw what happened and felt sorry for him. She gave him a hug and a cookie. She also gave him a new toy car that was shiny and blue.

Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for the gift. I'm sorry for driving on your roof. I won't do it again. I will be a good driver from now on."

She liked to learn new words and how to spell them. She had a book with pictures and letters that her mom read to her every night. + +One day, Lily saw a big spider on the wall. She was frightened. She did not like spiders. They had too many legs and eyes. She ran to her mom and told her what she saw. Her mom came with a cup and a paper and caught the spider. She showed it to Lily and said, "This is a spider. It is not scary. It is just a bug. Can you spell spider?" + +Lily looked at the spider in the cup. She saw that it was not moving or biting. She felt a little brave. She said, "S-P-I-D-E-R. Spider." Her mom smiled and said, "Very good, Lily. You are a smart girl. Do you want to observe the spider some more, or do you want me to let it go outside?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She decided that she wanted to observe the spider some more. She said, "Can I hold the cup?" Her mom gave her the cup and said, "Be gentle and careful. The spider is a living thing. It does not want to be hurt." Lily nodded and held the cup. She looked at the spider and said, "Hello, spider. I am Lily. You are not scary. You are just a bug. I can spell your name. S-P-I-D-E-R. Spider." + +The spider did not say anything. It just crawled around the cup. Lily felt curious and happy. She observed the spider until it was time for dinner. Then she said, "Bye, spider. Thank you for letting me observe you. You can go outside now." Her mom took the cup and the paper and let the spider go outside. Lily waved and said, "Have a good night, spider. Maybe I will see you again." +Ben was sick. He had a bad cough and a hot head. He stayed in bed all day and night. He did not want to play or eat or talk. He only wanted to sleep and feel better. + +His mom and dad were sad.

He sees that the truck is coming closer to his house. He thinks that the truck might hit his house and break his toys. He does not want that to happen. He wants to save his toys. + +Tom is a brave and intelligent boy. He waits until the truck is far enough and then runs to his box. He grabs his car, his ball, his doll and his book. He holds them tight and runs back to his mom. He is very fast and careful. + +He makes it to his mom and hugs her. He shows her his toys and says, "I saved them, mom. I saved my toys." His mom smiles and kisses him. She says, "You are a very good boy, Tom. You are very smart and kind. I am proud of you." Tom is happy and proud too. He loves his mom and his toys. He is safe and happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to go on the slide. It was fun and fast. But today, they saw something new. Someone had put paint and stickers on the slide. It was all different colors and shapes. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Someone decorated the slide. It is so pretty!" + +Tom frowned. He did not like the paint and stickers. He thought they were stupid. They made the slide slippery and sticky. He wanted to slide on the metal, not on the mess. + +"That is not pretty, that is stupid!" Tom said. "Who did this? They ruined the slide. I don't want to play on it anymore." + +Lily was sad. She liked the slide, even with the paint and stickers. She thought they made it more fun and interesting. She wanted to play with Tom, but he was angry. + +"Please, Tom, don't be mad," Lily said. "Let's try the slide. Maybe it is still fun. Maybe we can pretend we are sliding on a rainbow, or a dragon, or a spaceship." + +Tom shook his head. He did not want to pretend. He wanted the slide to be normal. He crossed his arms and turned away. + +"Fine, then I will slide by myself," Lily said. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She smiled and slid down. She felt the paint and stickers on her hands and legs. She laughed and enjoyed the ride. + +Tom watched her. He saw her having fun. He felt a little sorry. Maybe he was being too mean. Maybe the slide was not so bad. Maybe he could try it too. + +"Hey, Lily, wait for me!" Tom said. He ran to the ladder and followed her. He sat on the slide and slid down. He felt the paint and stickers on his hands and legs. He was surprised and curious. He smiled and liked the ride. + +Lily and Tom slid down again and again. They forgot about being mad. They had fun and played together. They liked the slide, even with the paint and stickers. They decided it was not stupid, it was special. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they found a nice kite in the park. It was red and blue and had a long tail. + +"Let's fly the kite!" Anna said. + +"OK!" Ben said. They ran to a big hill and held the kite. The wind was strong and the kite went up high. Anna and Ben laughed and watched the kite. + +But then, a big bird came. It saw the kite and thought it was a toy. It flew to the kite and tried to catch it. The kite moved and the bird missed. The bird tried again and again. + +Anna and Ben saw the bird and got scared. They did not want to lose the kite. They pulled the kite down and ran away. The bird followed them and made loud noises. + +"Help!" Anna and Ben shouted. They looked for a place to hide. + +They saw a big tree and ran to it. They hid behind the tree and held the kite. The bird could not see them. It flew around and looked for the kite. + +Anna and Ben waited and waited. They hoped the bird would go away. They were quiet and still. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was their friend Tom. He was hiding in the tree. He saw the bird and the kite and had an idea. He wanted to joke with Anna and Ben. + +He made a sound like the bird. He said, "Squawk! Squawk! I want the kite! Give me the kite!" + +Anna and Ben heard the sound and got more scared. They thought the bird was in the tree. They hugged the kite and cried. + +Tom saw them and laughed. He said, "It's me! It's me! I'm joking! It's not the bird, it's Tom!" + +Anna and Ben looked up and saw Tom. They realized he was joking. They felt angry and sad. They said, "That's not funny! That's mean! You scared us!" + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I thought it was funny! Please don't be mad!" + +Anna and Ben looked at Tom. They saw he was sorry. They said, "OK, we forgive you. But don't joke like that again!" + +Tom said, "OK, I won't. I'm sorry. Can we be friends?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to be nice!" + +Tom said, "OK, I will be nice. Can we fly the kite together?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Yes, we can fly the kite together. But you have to share!" + +Tom said, "OK, I will share. Let's go!" + +They went to the hill and flew the kite. The bird was gone. They had fun and laughed. They were friends. They liked the nice kite. +Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower with all the blocks they had. They worked hard to prepare the blocks. They put them in a pile and sorted them by color and shape. + +"Let's start with the big blocks," Lily said. "They are heavy, but they make a good base for the tower." + +"OK," Ben said. "I will help you carry them. We can put them here, on the rug." + +They carried the big blocks one by one and put them on the rug. They made a square with four blocks on each side. Then they put another layer of blocks on top of the first one, but a little smaller. They did this again and again, until they had a tall tower with many blocks. + +"Wow, look at our tower!" Lily said. "It is so high and colorful. We did a great job!" + +"Yes, we did," Ben said. "But I wonder how high we can make it. Do we have more blocks?" + +Lily looked around and saw a small box with some more blocks. They were smaller and lighter than the ones they used before. "Look, Ben, there are more blocks here. Maybe we can use them to make the tower even higher." + +"Good idea," Ben said. "Let's try it. But be careful, we don't want the tower to fall." + +They took the small blocks and climbed on a chair to reach the top of the tower. They put the small blocks on the top layer, trying to balance them. They made the tower higher and higher, until they ran out of blocks. + +"Wow, look at our tower now!" Lily said. "It is the highest tower ever. We are so smart and strong!" + +"Yes, we are," Ben said. "But I think we should stop now. The tower looks very wobbly. It might fall any minute." + +"OK, let's stop," Lily said. "But first, let's take a picture of our tower. We can show it to Mom and Dad. They will be so proud of us." + +"Good idea," Ben said. "Where is the camera?" + +Lily looked around and saw the camera on the table. She reached for it, but she stretched too far. She lost her balance and fell off the chair. She hit the tower with her arm and knocked it over. The blocks came crashing down, making a loud noise and a big mess. Some of the blocks hit Lily and Ben, hurting them. They both started to cry. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" they shouted. + +Mom and Dad came running into the room. They saw the broken tower, the scattered blocks, and the crying children. They were not proud. They were angry and worried. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. "What were you thinking? You could have hurt yourselves badly. You know you are not supposed to climb on chairs or play with the camera. You were very naughty and careless." + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. "We just wanted to make a big tower. We didn't mean to make a mess or get hurt." + +"Well, you did," Dad said. "And now you have to clean up the mess and go to bed. No more playing with blocks for a week. And no more pictures either. You have to learn to be more careful and responsible." + +Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not tried to make the tower so high. They wished they had listened to Ben and stopped when the tower was wobbly. They wished they had not reached for the camera. They wished they had a happy ending. But they did not. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms and bugs. They also liked to pick flowers and make bouquets for their mom. + +One day, they found a big pink flower that smelled very nice. They wanted to take it home and put it in a vase. But when they tried to pull it out, they saw that the stem was brown and soft. It was rotting. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "This flower is bad. It is rotting. We can't take it home." + +Lily was upset. She liked the pink flower. She wanted to keep it. She started to cry. + +"Don't cry, Lily," Tom said. "We can find another flower. A good flower. A flower that is not rotting." + +He looked around and saw a yellow flower that was bright and happy. He picked it and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily. This is for you. A yellow flower. It is not rotting. It is good. Do you like it?" + +Lily stopped crying. She smiled and took the yellow flower. She smelled it and hugged Tom. + +"Thank you, Tom. I like the yellow flower. It is good. You are a good brother." + +They ran back to their mom and showed her their flowers. She smiled and hugged them. + +"You are good children," she said. "I love your flowers. And I love you." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They made zooming noises and pretended to race each other. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Lily said. + +"No, mine is faster!" Ben said. + +They zoomed their cars around the sofa and the table. They had fun, but they also made a mess. Some of their cars rolled under the chairs and some bumped into the books. + +Mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"Kids, what are you doing? You have to clean up your toys!" Mom said. + +"But we are playing!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You can play after you eat your dinner. It's almost ready. Come to the kitchen and wash your hands," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing, but they were also hungry. They followed Mom to the kitchen. Mom had made spaghetti and sauce for dinner. It smelled good. + +"Here, hold your plates and sit down," Mom said. She gave them each a plate and a fork. + +"Can I have some sauce, please?" Lily asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. + +Mom poured some sauce over their spaghetti. She also gave them some bread and butter. + +"Be careful, the sauce is hot.

Mom asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted some dessert. Mom gave them each a bowl of ice cream. It was cold and creamy. They ate their ice cream and licked their spoons. + +"That was yummy, Mom," Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. Now, it's time to brush your teeth and go to bed. You must be sleepy after playing and eating so much," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben were sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They followed Mom to the bathroom and brushed their teeth.

Mommy will be so mad!" + +Max tried to wipe off the dirt with his hands, but it only made it worse. He started to cry too. "We are in big trouble!

They did not want to show her their sweaters. + +Mommy saw them and frowned. She was very angry. She did not like their sweaters at all. She did not like the mud and the stains. She did not like that they ruined their new sweaters. + +"What did you do?" Mommy asked in a loud voice. "How could you be so careless? These sweaters were new and expensive! You are very naughty children!" + +Lily and Max felt very bad. They said they were sorry, but Mommy did not listen. She took them by the hand and dragged them to the car. She said they had to go home and get cleaned up. She said they had to stay in their room and have no toys and no TV. She said they had to learn their lesson. + +Lily and Max cried all the way home.

Maybe they just wanted to explore space for a while. Let's wait and see." + +Lily and mom waited and waited. They looked at the sky and hoped to see the rocket and teddy. They wondered what the aliens were doing and where they were going. They wished they could talk to them and ask them to come back. + +After a long time, they heard a loud noise. They looked out the window and saw the rocket and teddy landing on the lawn. They saw two green creatures waving at them. They were the aliens. They had a big smile and a deep voice. They said: "Thank you, Lily. We had a lot of fun with your rocket and teddy. They are very nice and brave. We saw many things in space. We brought you a gift. It is a star. We hope you like it." + +Lily and mom went outside. They saw the rocket and teddy, safe and sound. They saw the star, bright and beautiful. It was attached to the balloon.

Lily gets to roll the dough, cut out shapes, and fill them with jam. She is very careful not to drop anything. + +When the pastries are done, they smell yummy. Lily can't wait to taste them. She helps her mom put them in a basket, along with some fruit and cheese. They get ready to go to the park. + +On the way, they see a big dog. The dog is friendly, but he is also hungry. He jumps up and tries to get the basket. Lily holds on tight, but the basket is too heavy. She drops it on the ground. The pastries spill out, and the dog grabs one. + +Lily is sad. She worked hard to make the pastries, and now they are gone. She starts to cry. Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, sweetie. We still have some pastries left. And we can share them with our friends at the picnic. Maybe they will have some treats for us, too." + +Lily feels better. She wipes her tears and smiles. She picks up the basket and walks with her mom. She hopes the dog liked the pastry. She thinks it was yummy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine on the wall. It had many green leaves and purple flowers. + +"Look, Ben, a vine!" Lila said. "It is so pretty. Can we touch it?" + +Ben nodded. He reached out his hand to touch the vine. But the vine was not nice. It was mean. It wrapped around Ben's hand and pulled him closer. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The vine hurts me! Help, Lila, help!" + +Lila was scared. She did not know what to do. She looked around and saw a bird on a branch. The bird was old and wise. It had a long beak and bright eyes. + +"Help, bird, help!" Lila shouted. "The vine is mean. It hurts Ben. How can we make it stop?" + +The bird looked at Lila and Ben. It saw the vine and knew what to do. + +"Listen, Lila," the bird said. "The vine does not like water. It likes sun and dry. If you want to make it stop, you need to find water and splash it on the vine. Then the vine will let go of Ben." + +Lila nodded. She ran to the tap and filled a bucket with water. She ran back to the vine and splashed the water on it. The vine did not like the water. It let go of Ben and shrank back. + +"Thank you, Lila, thank you!" Ben said. He hugged Lila and rubbed his hand. "You saved me from the vine. You are brave and smart." + +"Thank you, bird, thank you!" Lila said. She smiled at the bird and waved. "You helped us with the vine. You are old and wise." + +The bird nodded and flew away. Lila and Ben went back to playing in the garden. They did not touch the vine again. They knew it was mean. They were happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, they both want the same blanket. It is a big, soft blanket with stars and moons on it. + +Anna says, "I want the blanket! It is mine!" Ben says, "No, I want the blanket! It is mine!" They pull and tug on the blanket. They yell and cry. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. + +Mom says, "Stop fighting, Anna and Ben. You can share the blanket. It is big enough for both of you. Why don't you take turns or use it together?" Anna and Ben ignore Mom. They keep pulling and tugging on the blanket. They do not listen to Mom. + +Mom says, "Fine. If you do not want to share, then no one gets the blanket. I will take it away." She takes the blanket from Anna and Ben and puts it in the closet. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not have the blanket anymore. + +They sit on the floor and pout. They do not talk to each other. They do not play with their toys or books. They are bored and lonely. They wish they had the blanket. It is hot in the room. They feel sweaty and sticky. They miss the blanket. It is cool and cozy. + +They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "I am sorry, Anna." "I am sorry, Ben." They hug and make up. They go to Mom and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We want to share the blanket. Can we have it back, please?" Mom smiles and says, "Of course. I am glad you learned your lesson. Sharing is caring." She gives them the blanket. They say, "Thank you, Mom." They take the blanket and go to their room. They spread the blanket on the bed. They lie down on the blanket. They snuggle and giggle. They are happy and sleepy. They fall asleep on the blanket. The end. +Sam and Mia liked to play on the shore. They liked to dig in the sand and splash in the water. They liked to look for shells and rocks and crabs. They liked to watch the boats and the birds and the fish. + +One day, they saw something new on the shore. It was big and round and shiny. It looked like a ball, but it was not a ball. It was a balloon. Sam and Mia ran to the balloon. They wanted to play with it. + +But when they got to the balloon, they heard a loud noise. It was a hiss. The balloon had a hole. It was losing air. Sam and Mia were sad. They wanted to play with the balloon, but it was going away. + +Then, they saw something else on the shore. It was small and furry and cute. It looked like a dog, but it was not a dog. It was a seal. The seal had followed the balloon from the sea. The seal was playful. It wanted to play with Sam and Mia. + +Sam and Mia smiled. They forgot about the balloon. They ran to the seal. They petted it and hugged it and fed it some fish. They played with the seal on the shore. They had a lot of fun. They made a new friend. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and make noise. One day, their mom gave them a gift. It was a big box with a red bow. + +"What is it, mom?" Tom asked. + +"It's a surprise. You can open it together, but be careful. It's very special," mom said. + +Tom and Lily tore the paper and opened the box. Inside, they saw a shiny machine with buttons and a screen. It looked like a toy, but it was not. + +"This is a shrink ray. It can make things smaller or bigger. You can use it to have fun, but you have to follow the rules. Never point it at yourself or each other. Never press the red button. And always put it back in the box when you're done," mom explained. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They wanted to try the shrink ray. They took it out of the box and looked for something to shrink. + +"Let's shrink this ball," Tom said. He pointed the shrink ray at the ball and pressed the green button. The ball became as small as a pea. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. She picked up the tiny ball and felt how smooth it was. + +"Let's shrink something else," Tom said. He looked around the room and saw a teddy bear. + +"No, not the teddy bear. That's mine," Lily said. + +"Too late," Tom said. He pointed the shrink ray at the teddy bear and pressed the green button. The teddy bear became as small as a button. + +"Hey, stop that! You're mean!" Lily said. She grabbed the shrink ray from Tom and pointed it at him. + +"Don't do that! That's dangerous!" Tom said. + +"I don't care. You deserve it," Lily said. She pressed the red button. + +The shrink ray made a loud noise and a bright flash. Tom felt a strange feeling. He looked at himself and saw that he was shrinking. He became as small as a bug. + +"Help! Help!" Tom shouted. But Lily could not hear him. She dropped the shrink ray and ran away. She was scared and sorry. + +Tom was alone and tiny. He did not know what to do. He tried to find the shrink ray, but it was too big and heavy. He tried to call mom, but she was not home. He tried to hide from the cat, but it was too fast and hungry. + +Tom wished he had never played with the shrink ray. He wished he had listened to mom. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He wished he could grow back. + +But it was too late. The cat saw him and pounced. Tom screamed, but no one heard him. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They have a birthday today. They are four years old. They are happy. They want to celebrate. + +They have a big cake with candles. They have balloons and hats. They have friends and toys. They play games and sing songs. They are busy. + +They have a pet bird. His name is Blue. He is in a cage. He likes to sing too. He wants to celebrate. + +But he is sad. He is alone. He can see the cake and the balloons. He can hear the games and the songs. He can smell the toys and the hats. But he can't join them. He is in a cage. + +Anna and Ben see Blue. They love Blue. They want him to be happy. They have an idea. They open the cage. They let Blue out. They hold him gently. They bring him to the cake. They help him blow a candle. They give him a hat. They share a toy. They sing with him. They are happy. + +Blue is happy. He is not alone. He can taste the cake and the hat. He can touch the toy and the candle. He can see the friends and the balloons. He can join them. He is not in a cage. + +They celebrate together. They are a family. They are happy. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray, and had a long nose and big ears. The elephant could make loud noises with its nose, and spray water on itself. + +Ben and Lily wanted to play with the elephant, but Mom and Dad said they had to stay behind the fence. The fence was high and strong, to keep the elephant and the people safe. Ben and Lily were sad, but they understood. + +Then, they saw something amazing. The elephant walked to a big pool of water, and jumped in. The water was deep, and the elephant disappeared for a moment. Then, it came up again, with a big splash. The elephant was happy, and so were Ben and Lily. They laughed and clapped, and the elephant waved its nose at them. + +Ben and Lily decided that the elephant was their new friend. They waved back, and said goodbye. They hoped to see the elephant again soon. They had a lot of fun at the zoo. +Tom had a long face. He was sad because he could not fit in his old hat. His hat was too small for his big head. He liked his hat very much. It was blue and had a star on it. + +One day, he saw a new hat in the shop. It was red and had a rocket on it. He wanted to try it on. He asked his mom if he could. + +"Sure, Tom. But remember, you have to pay for it if you like it," his mom said. + +Tom nodded and ran to the hat. He put it on his head. It was too big. It covered his eyes and ears. He could not see or hear anything. He felt silly. + +"Tom, where are you?" his mom called. + +Tom tried to answer, but his voice was muffled by the hat. He stumbled around the shop, bumping into things. He knocked over a shelf of books. He tripped over a toy car. He fell on a pile of clothes. + +"Tom, are you okay?" his mom asked, finding him under the hat. + +Tom took off the hat and looked at his mom. He had a long face again. He did not like the new hat. It did not fit him at all. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I don't want this hat. I want my old hat," he said. + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She had a surprise for him. She took out his old hat from her bag. She had fixed it for him. She had added some fabric and a button to make it bigger. + +"Look, Tom. I made your hat fit you. Do you like it?" she asked. + +Tom's face lit up. He loved his hat. It was still blue and had a star on it. But now it also had a button that made a beep sound when he pressed it. + +"Wow, mom. Thank you. This is the best hat ever. It fits me perfectly," he said. + +He put on his hat and pressed the button. It beeped and made him laugh. He hugged his mom again. He was happy. He had a short face. +Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a car. They take turns to be the driver and the passenger. They make noises like a car and go to different places. + +One day, they pretend to go to the zoo. They see lions and monkeys and elephants. They have fun and laugh a lot. But then, Ben hits a bump and the box tips over. Lily falls out and lands on the floor. She cries and holds her side. It hurts a lot. + +Ben is sorry and runs to help Lily. He says he is sorry and gives her a hug. He gets a band-aid from his mom and puts it on Lily's side. He says it will make it better. Lily stops crying and smiles. She says thank you and gives Ben a kiss. + +They decide to play something else. They pretend to be doctors and nurses. They take care of each other and their stuffed animals. They are happy and forget about the bump. They are good friends. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. Mom said she would cook steak for them. She set the steak on the fire. She told Lily and Ben to wait in the living room. + +Lily and Ben played with their toys. They smelled the steak. It smelled good. They wanted to eat it soon. They heard Mom say, "The steak is ready!" + +Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen. They saw the steak on the plate. It looked yummy. They said, "Thank you, Mom!" Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. Enjoy your steak!" + +Lily and Ben took their forks and knives. They cut the steak. They put it in their mouths. They chewed. They made a face. The steak was bad. It was too hard and too salty. They did not like it. They spit it out. + +Mom saw their faces. She tasted the steak. She made a face too. The steak was bad. She had cooked it too long and added too much salt. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I made a mistake. The steak is bad. We can't eat it." + +Lily and Ben were sad. They were still hungry. They wanted to eat steak. They did not have any other food. They cried. Mom was sad too. She hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I'll try to make something else for you. But we have to go to the store first. We have no food here." + +Lily and Ben were not glad. They had to wait more. They had to go to the store. They had no steak. They had a bad dinner. +Tim and Sam are friends who like to play with toys. They have a lot of toys, but they want to make a new one. They decide to design a laser toy that can make bright lights and sounds. + +They find some cardboard, scissors, tape, and a flashlight in Tim's room. They cut the cardboard into a long shape and tape it to the flashlight. They also cut out a small hole at the end of the cardboard. They say, "This is our laser toy. It can shoot light and make noise." + +They go to the backyard and turn on the flashlight. They point the laser toy at different things and pretend to zap them. They say, "Zap! Zap! Zap!" and make funny noises. They have a lot of fun with their laser toy. + +But then, Tim's mom comes out and sees them. She says, "What are you doing with that toy? It looks dangerous. You could hurt your eyes or someone else's with that light." + +Tim and Sam say, "No, mom, it's not dangerous. It's just a mild laser. It can't hurt anyone. We designed it ourselves. It's just for fun." + +Tim's mom says, "I'm sorry, but I don't think that's a good idea. You should not play with lasers, even mild ones. They are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups. You could damage something or cause a fire. Please give me that toy and play with something else." + +Tim and Sam are sad and confused. They don't want to give up their laser toy. They think it's cool and fun. They say, "But mom, we worked hard to design it. We like it. Can we keep it, please?" + +Tim's mom says, "No, you can't keep it. It's too risky. I know you worked hard, but you can design something else that's safer and more suitable for children. How about a paper airplane or a puppet? You can use your imagination and creativity, but you have to be careful and responsible. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nod and say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We're sorry. We didn't mean to cause trouble. We'll design something else." + +Tim's mom says, "That's good. I'm proud of you for being honest and respectful. Now, come inside and have some cookies and milk. You can design something else later." + +Tim and Sam say, "Okay, mom. Thank you. We love you." + +They go inside and hug their mom. They have some cookies and milk and feel better. They still like their laser toy, but they agree that it's not safe. They decide to design something else that's fun and harmless. They wonder what it will be. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign. The sign says "Ice Cream". Tom and Sam love ice cream. They want to get a treat. + +They run to the truck. They race each other. They want to be first. Tom is faster than Sam. He gets to the truck before Sam. He smiles. He thinks he is smart. + +He asks for a cone with chocolate ice cream. The man in the truck gives him one. Tom pays with his money. He licks his ice cream. He is happy. + +Sam gets to the truck after Tom. He is sad. He thinks he is slow. He asks for a cone with vanilla ice cream. The man in the truck says "Sorry, no more vanilla. Only chocolate left." Sam does not like chocolate. He makes a face. He is unhappy. + +Tom sees Sam's face. He laughs. He thinks Sam is ignorant. He says "Chocolate is better than vanilla. You are silly. You should like chocolate." He licks his ice cream again. He is rude. + +Sam feels angry. He does not like Tom's laugh. He does not like Tom's words. He says "Chocolate is not better than vanilla. You are mean. You should share your ice cream." He grabs Tom's cone. He is brave. + +Tom and Sam fight over the cone. They pull and push. They yell and cry. The ice cream falls on the ground. The cone breaks. The man in the truck shakes his head. He is disappointed. + +Tom and Sam look at the ice cream on the ground. They feel sorry. They wasted their treat. They wasted their money. They wasted their friendship. They are foolish. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy or the most candy. Their mom and dad were sad. They wanted Jen and Ben to be nice to each other and to unite. + +One day, mom and dad gave Jen and Ben a big surprise. They got them a new radio. It was shiny and red and had many buttons. It could play music and stories and sounds. Jen and Ben were very happy. They thanked mom and dad and ran to their room with the radio. + +But soon, they started to fight again. Jen wanted to listen to music. Ben wanted to listen to stories. They pulled and pushed the radio. They yelled and cried. They were spoiled. They did not care about the radio. They only cared about what they wanted. + +Mom and dad heard the noise. They were angry. They went to the room and took the radio away. They told Jen and Ben that they had to learn to share and to unite. They said that they would not get the radio back until they did. They left the room and locked the door. + +Jen and Ben were sad and sorry. They realized that they had been mean and selfish. They missed the radio and their mom and dad. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to share and to unite. They knocked on the door and told mom and dad that they had changed. Mom and dad were happy. They opened the door and gave them the radio back. They praised Jen and Ben for being good and kind. They played the radio together and enjoyed the music and the stories and the sounds. They were happy and united. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they do not share well. They always want the same toy. + +One day, they find a new game. It is a game of matching. They have to match the pictures on the cards. Some pictures are of animals, some are of fruits, some are of shapes. Lila and Ben take turns to flip two cards and see if they match. + +Lila is good at matching. She matches a cat and a cat, a banana and a banana, a star and a star. She is happy. She says, "I am good at matching. I have many matches." + +Ben is not good at matching. He flips a dog and a fish, an apple and a pear, a circle and a square. He is sad. He says, "I am bad at matching. I have no matches." + +Ben looks at Lila's matches. He is envious. He wants to have matches too. He says, "Lila, can I have some of your matches? Please?" + +Lila looks at Ben's cards. She sees a sun and a sun. She likes the sun. It is bright and warm. She says, "No, Ben. You cannot have my matches. They are mine. But I will trade you. You give me your sun and I will give you one of my matches." + +Ben thinks. He likes the sun too. But he wants to have a match. He says, "OK, Lila. I will trade you. Here is my sun. Give me a match." + +Lila and Ben trade their cards. Lila has a sun and a match. Ben has a match. They are both happy. They say, "We are good at trading. We have matches and suns." They smile and hug. They play some more. They share their toys. They are twins. They love each other. +Lily was a restless girl who liked to explore. She found a bottle of lotion in her mom's bathroom. It had a picture of a fairy on it and said "Shrink Me". Lily was curious and wanted to see what it did. + +She opened the bottle and put some lotion on her hand. She felt a tingling sensation and then she saw her hand get smaller and smaller. She was amazed and scared at the same time. She put some more lotion on her other hand and then on her feet. She shrank until she was as small as a mouse. + +She heard her mom call her name and panicked. She tried to climb up the sink, but it was too high. She saw a spider crawling towards her and screamed. She wished she could go back to her normal size. + +She saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was the cap of the lotion bottle. She ran towards it and hoped it had some lotion left. She squeezed the cap and a drop of lotion came out. She rubbed it on her head and felt herself grow a little bit. She squeezed the cap again and again until she was big enough to reach the sink. + +She washed off the lotion and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said she was sorry. She told her what happened and promised to never touch her things again. Her mom was shocked and angry, but also relieved. She told her to be more careful and to stay away from the lotion. She said it was a special lotion for her skin and not for shrinking. She threw the bottle away and gave Lily a kiss. Lily learned her lesson and was happy to be normal again. +Lily was excited to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. She ran to find a good spot to hide. She saw the closet in her room and thought it was perfect. She opened the door and went inside. She closed the door and waited for Tom to find her. + +Tom counted to ten and then started to look for Lily. He looked under the bed, behind the curtains, in the toy box, but he could not find her. He started to worry. Where was Lily? He called her name, but she did not answer. He looked in the other rooms, but he still could not find her. + +Lily heard Tom calling her name, but she did not want to come out. She wanted to win the game. She thought Tom would find her soon. She waited and waited, but he did not come. She started to feel scared. It was dark and quiet in the closet. She wanted to see Tom and hug him. She tried to open the door, but it was stuck. She pushed and pulled, but it did not move. She started to cry. She was trapped in the closet. + +Tom heard Lily crying. He followed the sound and ran to her room. He saw the closet door and realized she was inside. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He did not have the key. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. He banged on the door, but it did not budge. He felt sad and angry. He could not help Lily. He could only hear her cry. He cried too. They were both stuck and alone. +Anna and Ben love to spend time with their grandpa. He is a driver and he has an enormous truck. Sometimes he lets them sit in the front and honk the horn. They think it is very fun and loud. + +One day, grandpa takes them to a park. He parks his truck and they get out. They see a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a fountain. They run to the slide and take turns going down. They laugh and scream with joy. + +"Grandpa, grandpa, come and slide with us!" Anna calls. + +"Sorry, my dear, I am too big for the slide.

One day, they found a big fat spider in the sink. It had eight legs and many eyes. It was very scary. + +Ben and Lily screamed and ran away. They hid behind the sofa and hugged each other. They did not want the spider to come and bite them. They wished their mom or dad would come and take the spider away. + +But mom and dad were busy in the garden. They did not hear Ben and Lily scream. They did not know there was a spider in the sink. They were happy to see the flowers and the birds. + +The spider did not care about Ben and Lily. It did not want to bite them. It just wanted to find a quiet place to spin its web. It crawled out of the sink and looked around. It saw a nice corner under the table. It went there and started to make its home. + +After a while, Ben and Lily peeked out from behind the sofa. They did not see the spider in the sink. They wondered where it went. They were still scared, but they were also curious. They tiptoed to the kitchen and looked under the table. They saw the spider and its web. It was very pretty. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the spider. They realized it was not so scary after all. It was just a little animal that wanted a home. They decided to leave it alone and not bother it. They went back to their game and pretended to make food with pots and pans. They were happy and not scared anymore. +Tom and Lily liked to swim in the pool. They had fun splashing and kicking in the water. They played with their toys and made bubbles with their mouths. + +But soon it was time to go home. Mom and Dad said they had to dry off and get ready for bed.

Tom and Lily were still crying and stomping their feet. They did not say sorry. They did not say thank you. They did not say good night. + +Mom and Dad put them in their bed.

"Maybe there are animals or toys there." + +"No, Ben. Mom said we should not go out of the garden. It is not safe." Sam says. "There might be a trap or a terrible thing there." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the hole and crawls through. Sam follows him. He does not want Ben to be alone. + +They find themselves in a field. There are flowers and trees and birds. Ben is happy. He runs around and picks some flowers. Sam is scared. He looks around and sees a big net on the ground. He thinks it is a trap. + +"Ben, come back!" Sam shouts. "There is a trap here. We have to go back to the garden." + +But Ben does not hear him. He sees a butterfly and chases it. He runs into the net and gets tangled. He cries and tries to get out. Sam runs to him and helps him. He pulls and tugs and succeeds. He frees Ben from the trap. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother." Ben says. "I am sorry I did not listen to you. Let's go back to the garden. I do not like this place." + +They crawl back through the hole and run to their mom. She hugs them and asks them where they have been. They tell her the truth. She is angry and sad. She tells them they should never go out of the garden again. They might get hurt or lost. They say they are sorry and promise to obey her. They learn their lesson. They are happy to be safe in the garden. +Anna and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to explore the woods behind their house. One day, they found a big pile of ash near a burnt tree. They wondered what had made the fire and what was inside the ash. + +"Maybe it was a dragon," Ben said. "Maybe there are dragon eggs in the ash." + +"Let's look," Anna said. She took a stick and poked the ash. She saw something shiny and round. "Look, Ben, I found one!" + +She lifted the stick with the shiny thing on it. It was a metal ball with a button on it. Anna was curious and pressed the button. + +Suddenly, the ball made a loud noise and a bright flash. Anna and Ben dropped the stick and covered their eyes. When they opened them again, the ball was gone. It had vanished. + +"Wow, what was that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe it was a magic ball. Maybe it took us to another place." + +They looked around and saw that the woods were different. The trees were taller and greener, and there were strange flowers and animals. They heard a roar in the distance. + +"Maybe it was a dragon," Ben said again. + +"Maybe we should go back," Anna said. + +But they didn't know how to go back. They had no stick, no ball, no ash. They had only each other and their adventurous spirit. They decided to explore the new woods and find a way home. Maybe they would meet a dragon, or maybe something else. They held hands and walked on. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a small table and some cups and plates. They pretend to serve tea and cake to their toys.

The bear wanted to be his friend, so the puppy followed the bear into the woods. + +The puppy soon realized that the bear was up to no good. But the puppy felt sorry for the bear and was still very compassionate. The bear wanted the puppy to stay and be his friend, but the puppy refused. The bear got mad and chased the puppy out of the woods. + +The puppy ran as hard as he could, but the bear was too fast. Eventually, the bear caught up and bit the puppy. The puppy was sad and scared. The bear ran away soon after. + +The puppy was lucky to be alive, but he was very hurt. Thankfully, a nice lady came by and helped the puppy. But the puppy would never be the same again. Despite his injuries, he still showed compassion and loved to go on walks. He just wasn't as free and happy as before. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was an elderly man. He liked nothing more than to go out and explore the world. So every morning, he would wake up extra early and start his day. + +One morning, he decided to go for a walk. As he strolled along, he noticed a small child. The child was playing in the same spot, day after day. So the elderly man decided to stop and chat with the child. They talked for a while about different things, and then he said, "I always like to go exploring, it's so fun and exciting. Think about it - you never know what you'll find!" + +The child smiled and said, "Maybe one day I'll do that too!" + +The elderly man nodded and replied, "That's a great idea. Whenever you start to forget, I want you to remember what I said - every day is a new adventure, and it's good to explore!" + +The child thanked him, and they said goodbye. The elderly man continued on his journey, while the child went back to playing. From that day on, the child never forgot to explore and have adventures. Whenever he started to forget, the elderly man's words would remind him. +The sun was shining and the squirrel was happily gathering nuts in the park. A little girl watched the squirrel with wide eyes. She had never seen a squirrel so close before. + +Suddenly, the little girl felt a hand on her shoulder.

The little girl nodded and the woman smiled. + +The woman reached into her pocket and gave the little girl a small pot of money. "Now you can support the squirrel," she said. The little girl smiled and took the money. + +The little girl went to the park every day with the pot of money. She helped the squirrel gather nuts, but she noticed that each day the pots' contents were a little less. + +The little girl asked the woman why her money was getting smaller and smaller. "Well sweetheart, it's very expensive to support the squirrel," the woman said. + +The little girl didn't understand, but she kept buying nuts for the squirrel. One afternoon, she gave the last of her money to the squirrel and looked up in despair. + +The woman was gone, and the squirrel had taken all the little girl's money. The little girl never saw the squirrel or the woman again. +Once upon a time, there was a man who needed to buy gas. He opened his wallet and looked inside. He had no money! But he knew where to go. So he drove to a place he had never been before. The place was unknown. + +When he got there, he saw a big tank full of gas. He was so excited! So he asked the man who was selling the gas how much it costed. The man told him it was only 10 cents. The man was so happy! + +He paid the man 10 cents, and the man filled up his tank with the gas. The man thanked the man who sold him the gas and drove away. Now the man has extra gas for his car. He was so lucky! +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lola.

She thought it might be dangerous so she ran to find her mom. + +When she found her, she showed her what she had found. + +Her mom said, "Lola, that is a driving license and it is very dangerous.

But Jane just sighed and said "That's too boring". + +Joe was sad and he thought of something else. He said, "Let's take a step! We can walk to the store and buy a treat!" + +This made Jane smile, so they stepped out the door and started walking down the street. Suddenly, Joe stopped and shouted "Yell!" + +Jane got excited and she yelled as loud as she could. This made Joe happy and they laughed and played until it was dark. + +Finally, Joe and Jane made it back home.

Let me help you pick some apples to take home so you can have something healthy to eat too." + +Lilly smiled, grabbed a few apples off the tree, and hurried back to her mom.

She said, "You have a special gift, my little one. A gift that will allow you to feel the pain of those around you." + +The little girl was confused. She didn't know what Mommy meant, but she knew it was important. From then on, she was extra careful when she stopped and looked at the flower.

When he drank the potion, he began to shrink down. + +He said, "Wohoo! I'm so small now that I can reach the package!" + +He quickly scampered up the mountain and grabbed the package.

He was determined to crack it open and see what was inside. + +John got a large hammer and started banging the nut. After a few tries, he finally cracked it open. Suddenly, a brilliant yellow light shone through the nut. + +“What is this?†he quietly requested aloud. He reached in and pulled out a shiny golden coin. John was so surprised he could barely believe what he was seeing. He hopped and cheered with joy. + +John had made a surprising and wonderful discovery from the little nut he requested! +Once upon a time, there was a baby goat who was very lonely.

Impressed by its beauty, Sarah wanted to catch it. + +Sarah ran and ran, but the dove flew away too quickly. Frustrated, Sarah pulled out a pair of scissors and shouted: "I'll cut it down!" + +Just then, her mother appeared in front of her, sternly asking: "What are you doing, Sarah?" + +"I want to catch a dove," she explained sadly. + +The mother shook her head and said: "It's impossible to catch a dove with scissors.

"What's wise?" + +His mother sat down on a nearby bench, patting the space next to her invitingly. Max scrambled up next to her. + +"Wise is when you think before you do something and you never give up, no matter how hard something is," she explained.

But the playground is a busy place and sometimes it's best to wear something else so that your dress stays clean." + +Jenny smiled because she knew mum was right and she changed into her other outfit.

They ran and ran until finally they stopped, out of breath and out of chalk. + +At that moment, a reliable old man walked by and said, "It's not nice to fight, friends." He wanted to help them, so he gave them both a piece of chalk and said, "Let's all draw something beautiful together!" + +And that's what they did. Jack and Jill drew a happy rainbow with their new chalk and were very proud of their creation. They hugged each other and happily said goodbye, knowing that they could always count on each other for fun, laughter, and chalk. +Billy and Jane were walking in the park.

Mia and her family continued to live in their own house and the other villagers stayed in their homes too! +Tommy was walking through the park one day and he saw a small white rabbit suffering on the ground.
