As she was crossing the street, she stumbled. She nearly fell, but she caught herself in time. It made her embarrassed. + +“Are you okay?†asked a kind old lady. + +“Yes ma'amâ€, Maria said. She was very embarrassed. + +The old lady smiled and said “That's okay, we all stumble.

Now have a nice trip!†+ +Maria thanked the old lady and waved goodbye as she boarded the train. She felt better now that she was safely at the station. +Once upon a time there was a beautiful tree. Every night, the tree would rest, dusting off its leaves. One day a girl called Annie came along. She watched the tree rest, and thought it looked fun. + +"I want to try!" she said. So she calmly lay down on the grass beneath the tree and closed her eyes. Annie rested just like the tree! + +To her surprise, she was soon joined by a butterfly. It hovered over her, settling gently on her arm. Dust rose up as the butterfly moved around and Annie found herself covered in a blanket of little sparkles. + +It was beautiful and Annie giggled as the butterfly fluttered away.

He was looking for something special. He searched and searched, but he couldn't find it. + +Suddenly, he heard a strange sound. He followed the sound and peered around the corner. There he saw an axe, hidden in a dark corner. He was very excited and ran over to it. + +The fox picked up the axe and inspected it. Then he heard a voice. It said, "Do you understand why I hid my axe?" + +The fox looked around, but he couldn't see anyone. He dropped the axe, puzzled. Who was talking to him? + +Then the fox noticed a small mouse peeking out of its hole. The fox said, "Can you understand why you wanted to hide the axe?" + +The little mouse said, "Yes, I wanted to keep it safe.

Mary was an excited 3 year old and she skipped along the path, although she did not have a particular purpose. She stopped under a big tree and noticed a grape that had fallen from its branches. She thought to herself, "Maybe I should take care of the grape and take it home with me". + +But as she reached out to it, she was startled to hear a voice saying, "No, don't take it. You won't understand why, but you must leave it here". She looked around to see who had spoken, but she saw no one. Perplexed, she just stood there with her hand poised in midair when finally a bird landed on a branch next to her. + +The bird cocked its head and looked at Mary. It said to her, "You must be ignorant of the consequences of taking care of this grape. It is not yours to take." Mary stared wide-eyed at the bird, but knew that it was right.

There on the ground was a beautiful picture of a castle. + +The curious knight had printed a castle with his sword. He was so proud of his magic and his special sword forever more. +Go Joe!

As the last light of the day was fading, the pony heard a soft voice in her ear. + +The voice said, " You have been so strong and worked so hard. Now it is time for you to rest." + +The pony listened to the voice and knew that she was tired and needed to rest. She lay down in the grass and closed her eyes.

He said, "Can you lend me your spear?". + +The old man replied, "Why do you need my spear?". The boy told him, "I want to play a game with my friends". The old man thought for a few minutes, and then he said, "Yes, I can lend you my spear. But you must be careful with it and bring it back tomorrow". + +The boy was so happy! He thanked the old man and ran back down the hill to find his friends. The old man watched with a smile on his face as the boy ran away. + +The next day, the boy returned to the hill with the spear in his hands. The old man thanked him for returning it, and then said, "That was a very nice thing you did". The boy smiled and ran off downstairs to play his game once again. + +The old man held his spear in his hands and watched the boy, feeling happy. He had done a good deed by lending the spear, and it had made him feel good. +The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Suzy was very excited and she wanted to go outside and play. She found her mom and dad in the garden, so she asked them, +"Can I go out to play?" +Her parents said yes, so Suzy put on her shoes and ran out to the far end of the garden. + +When she got there, Suzy found a big, tall tree with big, juicy apples hanging from its tip. She was here at just the right time, because the apples were ripe and looked very tasty. Suzy was so excited and she said to her parents, +"Can I part the apples and eat?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can part the apples, but be careful - only eat one tip at a time." + +So Suzy reached up, part one of the apples and tasted it. It was so delicious - it was the best tasting apple she had ever eaten in her life. She grinned from ear to ear and thanked her parents for the delicious tip.

Every morning, he watched the nice sunrise and loved to take a walk in the sun. One morning, he spotted a big problem in the woods. All the trees were shaking and shaking but nothing was happening. The bear knew he had to solve this problem. + +He used his smarts and decided to go talk to the birds and bunnies in the forest. He asked them if they knew how to solve the problem and the animals told him that the wind was getting very strong. The wind was making the trees shake and shake, and they didn't know how to stop it. + +The bear smiled and had an idea. Together, they all built a big fence around the forest which was strong enough to block out the strong wind. After they were done building the fence, the shaking of the trees stopped and everything was nice and peaceful. + +The bear was so happy, and he taught the animals an important lesson. Working together can help solve big problems! From that day on, he watched the nice sunrises in the peaceful forest every morning with a happy heart. +Once upon a time, there was a big bad bear.

When he looked to see what it was, he saw a little rabbit playing with a pink drum. The bear knew he must have it! + +The bear went over to the rabbit and said in a gruff voice, “Give me your drum!†The rabbit was scared and shook his head no. The bear then grabbed the drum and put it into his sack. + +The little rabbit was very upset. He ran over to the bear and tried to get his drum back, but the bear was too big and strong. The rabbit decided to try a different tactic. He began to tap out a steady beat on the ground with his foot, which made the bear dance with joy. + +After dancing for a while, the bear realised what he had done and he felt really bad. He handed the drum back to the rabbit, apologised and ran off into the woods. + +The little rabbit was very relieved and happy. He was able to enjoy his rhythm again and he never saw the big bad bear again. +John and his dad were getting ready to go on an adventure. John was very excited and asked, "Where are we going Daddy?" + +His dad replied with a smile, "We are going to the cool beach. But first, let's turn the luggage around and it get ready for the car." + +John helped his dad turn the luggage around and pack it tightly in the back seat. When everything was ready they said goodbye and hopped in the car. John looked out the window and said, "It's so cool!" + +The car took them to their destination and when they finally arrived, John and his dad put on their swimsuits, grabbed their luggage and ran towards the beach. + +Children of all ages were running around, playing in the sand and splashing around in the water. It was a cool day and John was very excited for his vacation. +Once there was a chef named Johnny. He was a very good chef, but he was always looking for new recipes to bake.

He lived in the forest and Hop was always very busy with jumping from one place to another. He was very content. + +One day, as Hop was hopping around, his best friend Wiggles the fox asked him, "What are you doing, Hop?" + +Hop replied with a big smile "I'm hopping around, having fun!" + +Wiggles was not used to hopping like Hop and said, "That looks very boring, why don't you build a nest instead?" + +But Hop knew better, "Jumping around is more fun than building nests," he said. "I'm having lots of fun this way." + +Later that day, Hoppy settled into his cozy nest after a long day of hopping. Wiggles was also happy in his own nest. They both agreed to never forget the importance of having fun and learning new things. + +Hoppy and Wiggles had learnt a simple lesson. Life should not be boring, it should be enjoyed by always keeping an open mind and finding a way to have fun and learn new things. +Once upon a time there was a tiny little bird called Pete. Pete lived in a small nest in the top of a tree. Every morning Pete would leave his nest and fly around the forest. + +On this particular day, Pete saw the most beautiful flower.

The flower suddenly seemed to smile and asked, "Where are you going today, Pete?" + +Pete was a bit surprised but he decided to answer the flower. "I'm just flying around," he said. + +The flower then said, "Why don't you stay here with me? I can show you something very special!" + +Pete's curiosity got the better of him and he agreed to stay! The flower told him to close his eyes and he did so. The flower then began to display the most beautiful colours Pete had ever seen. They changed so quickly, like every minute something new was showing. And then the colours changed to a sad blue. + +Pete felt so upset for the flower. To see something so beautiful turn so sad made him feel very sad too. He flew around the flower, trying to make it feel better. Eventually the flower smiled again, the colours returned and Pete knew he had done something good. + +The flower thanked Pete with a gentle squeak and said, "It's so nice to have a friend like you." And Pete flew away, +Once upon a time there were two friends, Tom and Sam. Tom had a very loud voice and Sam had a very good idea.

They thanked him for his great idea and promised to do it again soon. +One day, Tommy was feeling lazy. He just wanted to sit and do nothing. He saw a mug and thought he could use it for something fun. + +He filled it with water until it was full to the brim. Then he decided to take it outside. He settled down in the garden and began to bounce the mug up and down. + +"This is so much fun!", he yelled as he bounced higher and higher. When he was finished playing, he looked inside the mug. + +"Oh no!", he cried, "It's all wet!" + +Tommy's mom stepped outside and said, "Be more careful next time, okay?" + +Tommy nodded and smiled. From then on, he was a lot more careful with his watery mugs! +A family was having dinner. Mom served some good food on a plate. Dad had a big smile when the plate arrived.

I can’t go any further.†+ +The fish said, “Don’t worry. Just take a big bow and jump in.†+ +The bug followed the fish’s advice and jumped into the deep water. + +The bug swam deeper and deeper until it finally reached the end of the river. + +The bug was relieved and said, “Thank you!

She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes, but then she saw a spider on the wall. It was small and black, with long legs. + +"What are you doing here?" Emily asked the spider. + +The spider just stared at her. + +"Go away!" Emily said. + +The spider didn't move. + +It was so stupid, Emily thought.

Sitting there was a silver pony, with a shimmering mane! The pony stood there quietly, seeming to smile at Jill. + +"Hello there," Jill said politely. The pony nodded in response, then beckoned Jill over with a flick of her head. Jill walked up to the pony, and was filled with joy when the pony leaned its head onto hers. Jill and the pony stayed like this for a long time, until the silver clouds began to fade away in the setting sun. + +"I will come back soon," Jill promised the pony. And she did, every day, getting to know the pony more and more each day. Jill now knew that the silver clouds she saw in the woods had been magic, appearing to bring her a new friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Amy. Every day she would go play in the park. On the way, she heard a loud noise coming from a house. She felt curious. What could the noise be? + +Amy slowly walked up to the house and peered in the window. She saw a big machine that looked like a robot. She was amazed. + +Suddenly, a voice called out. It was the owner of the house. He said, "Why are you so ignorant? Don't you know that I'm trying to bring in a new machine?" + +Amy looked confused as she didn't understand what he meant.

They were proud of him for finding the ceiling, but they also scolded him for not being careful.

The woman screamed and started to cry. + +The man was angry with the woman, so he left her alone in the park. He never came back. The woman sat alone in the park and felt very sad and scared. + +The day was not peaceful anymore. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lily. She was just three years old. One day, Lily's dad presented her with a very special surprise - a map! She was so excited. + +Lily asked, ‘What’s this daddy?’ + +Her dad smiled and said, ‘It’s a map that you can use to reach far away places. You can go to all sorts of places - even ones you can't see.’ + +Lily was very eager to begin her adventures so she quickly opened the map. Inside was a small piece of paper with her very own spoiled treat! She was so happy! + +Lily thanked her dad, hugged him and said, ‘I can reach anywhere with this map!’ + +Her dad laughed and replied, ‘That's right, let the trips begin!’ + +And that's how Lily and her map became the best of friends. They set out on a new journey every day and discovered all sorts of amazing things! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends – Harry and Julia. They were playing in the garden on a sunny day when they saw a beautiful model in the sky. It was glowing brightly and they could see many stars. + +"Wow," Harry said, pointing to the model. "It's so beautiful!" + +"Yes," Julia replied. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before." + +The model glowed brighter than before. Harry and Julia were amazed and couldn't take their eyes off it. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from the model. + +"Hi, friends! Don't be scared! I'm just an ordinary model that glows like the stars," the model said. + +This was so unusual that Harry and Julia didn't know how to respond, but they were excited to talk to the model. + +"It's so nice to meet you!" Harry said. + +The model smiled and kept glowing as if it was completely normal. Harry and Julia smiled back, happy to have met such a glowing friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to skateboard. He wanted to skateboard as fast as he could and as sharp as he could. One day, he grabbed his board and went to the skate park. At the park, he saw a tall stand with ramps built around it. He thought it looked cool, so he skated around it trying to be as fast and sharp as he could. + +As he was skating, the boy heard a voice coming from the top of the stand. He stopped and looked up to see a figure standing atop the ramp. It was an old skateboarder with a long white beard. + +The old skateboarder said, “If you want to become the best, you must learn to be very fast and very sharp.†+ +The boy looked up at the old skateboarder and said, “Can you teach me?†+ +The old man laughed and said, “Maybe one day, but for now focus on sharpness and speed. If you can do that, you will be a great skateboarder.†+ +The boy smiled and nodded. He skated around the stand one more time and was amazed by how fast and sharp he was getting. He knew the old skateboarder was right, and soon he would be a master of the skatepark. +The sun was shining and the day was blue. Ed and his friend were walking in the park. + +Ed saw a battery on the ground. "Let's help the battery", he said. So Ed and his friend picked up the battery and took it home. + +Ed found a toy car in the garage and popped the battery in. He and his friend were about to play with it, but it didn't work. + +Ed had forgotten to charge the battery. And now it was too late. The sun had gone, and the sky was dark. + +The battery had been looking for help, but Ed and his friend couldn't help it any more. They had run out of time. +Once there was a girl who was very brave. She had lots of pets and one of her favourites was a hairy shrimp. Every day she took it out of the tank and tied a thread around it to make it look like a necklace. + +One day, she was playing with the pet shrimp, when suddenly, the string she had tied around it snapped and the shrimp flew away. The girl was very upset. She searched for the shrimp for hours, but she could not find it. + +Finally, the girl went home. As she was walking, she heard a strange noise coming from a tall tree in her garden. When she looked up, she saw her furry shrimp was stuck in a hole in the tree. It was too high to reach and the girl couldn't help her pet. + +So, sadly, the girl had to say goodbye to her furry shrimp. Her brave pet was stuck in the tall tree forever. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Emma. She loved swiming in the ocean and one day, her mum said she could go on a holiday to the beach! Emma was so excited, she couldn't wait. + +When Emma finally got to the beach, she was so happy! She ran to the water and immediately started swiming. She had so much fun that she stayed in the water even after the sun had gone down. + +But later in the night, when her mum came to call her, Emma was no where to be seen. Her mum looked and looked, and soon it started raining. Emma was too far out, so she couldn't see her mum calling and she kept swiming. + +The next morning, the sun came up, but Emma wasn't with it. Everyone was very sorry. She was never seen again in the ocean. + +The end. +Little George was walking near the beach. He saw a tall, pale reef in the distance. He excitedly started running towards it. His mom called out, "George, don't go too close to the reef!" + +When he got closer, George was surprised. He stopped and looked at the reef, wide-eyed. He noticed that the reef was covered in beautiful creatures of different shapes and colours. He wanted to explore more. + +His mom noticed his curiosity and said, "You can look, but don't touch. Reefs are delicate and can easily break if you're not careful." + +George cautiously looked around and admired the beauty of the reef. He saw delicate creatures moving around, tiny plants swaying in the water and even a starfish! He was fascinated. + +"Look at that starfish!" he exclaimed. + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, it's very pale. Pay attention and you might see more fun things!" + +George continued looking, and found more and more creatures. He smiled the whole time, happy to explore this beautiful, pale reef. +Max was a brave and adventurous three-year-old. Everywhere he went, he wanted to explore. So one day, he decided that he wanted to go camping. + +He brought his tent and set it up in the backyard. He asked his mom if he would be safe by himself and she said "Yes, Max." His mom smiled and said, "Have a fun and safe time!" + +Max was excited as he put all his belongings in the tent. He began to play but it started pouring rain. He just wanted to quit and go inside. But then Max realised that he could make this situation a fun adventure. + +He grabbed his raincoat and gathered up some sticks to make a campfire. Then he made a delicious hot chocolate and baked some cookies. Max had a happy and safe camping adventure in his own backyard! +Once upon a time, there was a rich youth in the village who had many money and possessions. He was very proud and often pokes fun at the other villagers who were not as fortunate. One day, the youth was walking through the village and saw a small child playing in the dirt. The youth decided to poke the child with his stick and laughed at the little one's distress. + +The child, who was only three years old, started to cry. A crowd quickly gathered around the youth, feeling angry and sad for the little one. One of the villagers, an old man, stepped forward and said to the youth, "Why did you poke the little one? It is not a nice thing to do. He is just a child and did nothing wrong." + +The youth, feeling embarrassed, bowed his head and refused to speak. The old man finally replied, "You must learn to respect others, even those less fortunate than yourself. You should be ashamed for how you treated the little one." + +The rich youth looked ashamed and decided to never poke someone again. Everyone was happy and the little child smiled as they all went their separate ways. +Once upon a time, there was a small rat. He was very smart. He knew the trick to reverse things.

Jack started to laugh and said, "Yes, it was a tomato!" His mum smiled and said, "Ah, I must have forgotten too!". + +Jack found the tomatoes he was looking for and he was so excited. He picked up the weirdest looking one and he ran to the checkout. On the way home, he couldn't stop talking about the funny tomato. He smiled and said, "I will never forget this tomato!" +One day, a little girl named Sarah was playing with her toys at the table. She had an original toy car and an airplane made of wood. She was having lots of fun pretending to fly the airplane around the room. Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from outside. She looked out the window and saw a bright red car zipping along the street! It was so shiny and fast that Sarah leapt up from the table and ran outside to get a better look. She could not believe how quickly it was moving! Sarah watched as the car zipped away in the distance. She wished that she could race around in a speedy car like that one. As she turned back to go inside, Sarah looked down and saw that her special original toy car was still there on the table. She smiled and picked it up to play with. Sarah could imagine her toy car zipping around town, just like the red car she had seen outside. +Sara liked to play with her mom's phone. It had many colors and sounds and games. But mom said she could only play for a little time. Then she had to return the phone to mom. + +One day, Sara saw the phone on the table. Mom was busy in the kitchen. Sara thought she could play for a little more time. She took the phone and ran to her room. She turned on the phone and started to play. + +But mom noticed the phone was gone. She looked for it everywhere. She asked Sara, "Sara, where is my phone? I need it for work. It is very important and popular. Many people call me on it." + +Sara heard mom's voice. She felt scared. She knew she did something bad. She wanted to hide the phone under her pillow. But she also wanted to say sorry to mom. She did not know what to do. + +She decided to be brave. She turned off the phone and ran to mom. She gave her the phone and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I took your phone. I wanted to play. But I know it is yours. Please don't be mad." + +Mom hugged Sara and said, "Thank you, Sara. I'm glad you returned the phone. I'm not mad at you. But you have to ask me first before you take it. And you have to follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now, how about we play a game together? You can choose." + +Sara smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Let's play." +Lily liked to play with her mom's keys. She liked how they jingled and sparkled. She liked to try them on different doors and see what they could unlock. One day, she found a new door in the basement. It was old and dusty and had a big lock on it. Lily wondered what was behind it. + +She looked at her mom's keys and picked one that looked like the lock. She put it in and turned it. The lock clicked and the door opened. Lily was curious and excited. She stepped inside and saw a big room full of objects. There were boxes and bags and books and toys and clothes and pictures and more. Lily wanted to explore them all. + +She walked around the room and touched the objects. Some were soft and some were hard. Some were colorful and some were dull. Some were noisy and some were quiet. She found a big box that had a picture of a ballerina on it. She opened it and saw a beautiful doll. The doll had long hair and a pink dress and shiny shoes. She had a smile on her face and a crown on her head. She looked very graceful. + +Lily picked up the doll and hugged her. She felt happy and warm. She wanted to play with her and make her dance. She spun her around and made her do poses. She pretended that the doll was a real ballerina and that she was her friend. She did not hear her mom calling her name from upstairs. She did not see the door closing behind her. She did not notice the lock snapping back into place. She only saw the doll and the objects and the fun. She did not know that she was locked in the basement. +Lila and Sam liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far. The water was big and strong. It moved up and down. That was the tide. + +One day, they saw a big fish on the sand. It was not moving. It had a long tail and a shiny skin. Lila and Sam were curious. They went closer to the fish. + +"Hello, fish," Lila said. "Are you okay?" + +The fish opened its eyes. It looked sad. It said, "No, I am not okay. I am lost. I was spinning in the water, and the tide took me away from my home. Now I am here, and I cannot breathe." + +Lila and Sam felt sorry for the fish. They were compassionate. They wanted to help the fish. + +"Don't worry, fish," Sam said. "We will help you. We will take you back to the water. Then you can spin again and find your home." + +Lila and Sam used their hands and a bucket to lift the fish. They carried it to the water. They put it gently in the water. The fish smiled. It said, "Thank you, Lila and Sam. You are very kind. You are my friends." + +The fish swam away. It spun in the water. It waved its tail. Lila and Sam waved back. They were happy. They had helped the fish. They had made a new friend. +Tom and Mia liked to play outside with their toys. They had a big truck, a doll, a ball, and a kite. One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. It made a loud noise like a train. + +"Look, Mia, a tornado!" Tom said. He pointed at the cloud. + +"A tornado?" Mia asked. She did not know what a tornado was. + +"It is a big wind that spins and breaks things," Tom said. He had seen a tornado on TV. "We have to go inside. It is not safe." + +Tom and Mia grabbed their toys and ran to the house. They did not want the tornado to take their toys. They loved their toys. They were expensive. Their mom and dad had bought them for their birthday. + +But they forgot one thing. They forgot their kite. The kite was still in the air. The string was tied to a tree. The tornado saw the kite. It liked the kite. It was colorful and shiny. The tornado wanted the kite. + +The tornado came closer and closer to the kite. It reached out with its wind and pulled the string. The string broke. The kite flew away with the tornado. + +Tom and Mia saw what happened. They were sad. They liked their kite. It was their favorite toy. + +"Bye, kite," they said. They waved at the sky. + +They went inside and hugged their mom and dad. They were safe. They still had their other toys. They decided to play with them in their room. + +They put their truck and their doll on the floor. They threw their ball in the air. They pretended to march with their toys. They sang a song. + +They were happy. They forgot about the tornado and the kite. They had fun. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play in the pool. The pool was open and had many toys and floats. Tim and Lily each had a float that they could sit on and splash in the water. + +One day, Tim saw a big float that looked like a dragon. He wanted to try it, but it was attached to a rope. The rope was for the lifeguard to pull the float back if someone needed help. Tim did not know that. He thought the rope was just for fun. + +He said to Lily, "Look at that dragon float! It has a rope that we can swing on. Let's go and get it!" + +Lily said, "No, Tim. That float is not for us. It is for the lifeguard. The rope is not for swinging. It is for safety. We should not touch it." + +But Tim did not listen to Lily. He swam to the dragon float and pulled the rope. He tried to swing on it, but he lost his balance and fell off. He went under the water and could not breathe. He was scared and sorry. + +The lifeguard saw Tim and quickly pulled the rope. He brought Tim back to the surface and helped him out of the water. He asked Tim if he was okay and told him that he should never touch the rope or the dragon float. He said that they were only for emergencies and that he could have been hurt. + +Tim was ashamed and apologized to the lifeguard. He also said sorry to Lily, who was worried about him. He learned his lesson and never touched the rope or the dragon float again. He and Lily played with their own floats and had fun in the pool. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends and follow the rules. They are there to protect you and keep you safe. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big bag of popcorn in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but they also had an idea. + +"Let's attach the popcorn to a string and make a necklace!" Lily said. + +"That sounds fun!" Ben agreed. + +They took some popcorn and a string and started to attach them. They made a long and colorful necklace that looked very pretty. They were very happy with their work. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Spot, who smelled the popcorn and came running. He saw the necklace and thought it was a toy. He jumped and grabbed it with his mouth. He pulled and pulled, and the popcorn started to pop off the string. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it back!" Ben cried. + +But Spot did not listen. He ran away with the necklace, leaving a trail of popcorn behind him. Lily and Ben chased him, but they could not catch him. They were very sad and angry. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that popcorn is not a good thing to attach to a string. They learned that popcorn is better to eat than to play with. They learned that they should not leave their things where their dog can reach them. They learned that normal things can sometimes cause trouble. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a well with a bucket and a rope. They wanted to see what was inside the well. + +"Let's feed the well," Tom said. "Maybe there is something hungry down there." + +They looked around and found some bread, cheese and apples. They put them in the bucket and lowered it into the well. They waited for a while, but nothing happened. + +"Maybe the well is too shy to eat," Lila said. "Or maybe it is too delicate and doesn't like our food." + +They decided to try something else. They picked some flowers and leaves and put them in the bucket. They lowered it into the well again. This time, they heard a splash and a squeak. + +"Did you hear that?" Tom asked. "I think the well liked our flowers." + +They pulled up the bucket and saw a small frog sitting on top of the flowers. It looked at them with big eyes and croaked. + +"Hello, frog," Lila said. "Are you the well's friend?" + +The frog nodded and smiled. It jumped out of the bucket and onto Lila's hand. It was soft and wet. + +"Can we keep him?" Tom asked. "He is so cute and friendly." + +Lila nodded and hugged the frog. They named him Welly and took him to their house. They gave him a bowl of water and some more flowers. They played with him and made him happy. + +They fed the well and found a new friend. +Lily and Sam were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They were very happy because they were going to see Grandma and Grandpa. They had their bags and their toys and their snacks. + +But when they got to the airport, they saw many people looking sad and angry. They heard loud noises and saw smoke. Mom and Dad said there was a big fire and they could not fly today. Lily and Sam felt scared and sad too. + +They saw some men and women in blue clothes. They had big trucks and hoses and ladders. They were trying to stop the fire and help the people. Mom and Dad said they were firefighters and they were very brave and kind. + +Lily and Sam wanted to help too. They had an idea. They took out their crayons and paper and made some pictures. They drew the airport, the planes, the firefighters, and Grandma and Grandpa. They wrote "Thank you" and "We love you" on them. + +They gave their pictures to some of the firefighters. The firefighters smiled and thanked them. They said they liked their pictures very much. They said they were working hard to restore the airport and make it safe and clean again.

They knew the firefighters would do their best. They knew they would see Grandma and Grandpa soon. They knew they had done something good. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to pretend they were in a big forest. They made a tent with a blanket and some chairs, and they took their stuffed animals inside. + +"Look, this is my bear. He is very brave and strong. He can protect us from any monster," Tom said, holding his bear. + +"And this is my bunny. She is very soft and sweet. She can remind us of home when we are far away," Lily said, cuddling her bunny. + +They were having fun, but then they heard a loud noise. It came from under the bed. They looked at each other and felt scared. + +"What was that?" Tom whispered. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a monster. A big, scary, hidden monster," Lily whispered back. + +They held their toys tighter and crawled out of the tent. They wanted to run to their mom and dad, but they had to pass by the bed. They tiptoed slowly, hoping the monster would not see them. + +But then, the noise came again. It was louder and closer. They saw something move under the bed. It was dark and hairy and had big eyes. It was a monster! + +They screamed and ran to the door. But before they could open it, they heard another sound. It was a familiar sound. It was a bark. + +They turned around and saw their dog, Rex. He had been hiding under the bed, playing with an old sock. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +They realized it was not a monster, it was Rex. They felt silly and relieved. They hugged their dog and laughed. + +"Rex, you scared us! You are not a monster, you are a good boy," Tom said. + +"Rex, you remind us of how much we love you. You are not hidden, you are our friend," Lily said. + +They took Rex to their tent and played with him and their toys. They were not afraid anymore. They were happy. +Tom likes to write. He has a big book and a red pen. He writes his name and some letters. He writes a picture of a cat and a dog. He is happy. + +But then his sister Lily comes. She is mean.

He sees Lily's tie on the floor. It is pink and thin. He has an idea. He runs to Lily and grabs her tie. He ties it around her book and her pen. He pulls hard. He says, "This is mine now. You are bad at tying. Your tie is ugly." He laughs. + +Lily is sad and angry. She wants her book and her pen back. She tries to untie the tie, but it is too tight. She cries. + +Tom feels sorry for Lily. He knows he was mean too. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Let's share the book and the pen. We can write together. We can make nice pictures of cats and dogs." He unties the tie and gives her the book and the pen. + +Lily says, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are good at writing. Your cat and dog are nice." She smiles. + +They hug and write together. They are happy. +Anna liked to go to the circus with her mom and dad. She liked to see the animals, the acrobats and the clowns. The clowns made her laugh with their funny faces and tricks. + +One day, Anna saw a clown who had a big red nose and a flower on his hat. He smiled at her and gave her a balloon. Anna said thank you and held the balloon tight. The clown said he had a magic trick to show her. He asked her to watch his flower. + +Anna watched the flower on the clown's hat. The clown said some funny words and waved his hand. Then, the flower vanished! Anna gasped and looked around. She could not see the flower anywhere. She wondered where it went. + +The clown laughed and said he was a helpful clown. He said he gave the flower to a sad girl who had no balloon. He said the flower made her happy and she smiled. Anna thought that was very nice of the clown. She said he was a good clown. + +The clown thanked Anna and said he had to go. He said he hoped she enjoyed the circus. He waved goodbye and walked away.

Tom gets wet and makes a funny face. + +They run around the garden, splashing and giggling. They have fun. + +But then, Mom comes out. She looks angry. She sees the water on the grass and on the clothes. She sees Tom and Mia soaked. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are making a mess! And you are wetting your clothes! You have to change and dry them!" + +Tom and Mia stop playing. They feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom mad. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We were just playing." + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not too mad. She loves Tom and Mia. + +"Come on, let's go inside," she says. "You need to get out of those wet clothes. And you need to help me with the laundry." + +Tom and Mia follow Mom. They go to their room. They take off their wet clothes and put them in a basket. Mom takes the basket to the laundry room. + +Tom and Mia look for dry clothes. They open their drawer. But they see something strange. There is a big hole in the drawer. And there is a powerful smell. + +"What is that?" Tom asks. + +Mia shrugs. She does not know. + +They look closer. They see something furry and brown. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. It is a rat! + +The rat sees Tom and Mia. It squeaks and runs out of the drawer. It scurries across the room. + +Tom and Mia scream. They are scared. They jump on the bed. + +"Mom! Mom! There is a rat in our room!" they yell. + +Mom hears them. She runs to their room. She sees the rat. She grabs a broom. She tries to catch the rat. + +The rat is fast. It dodges the broom. It runs under the bed. It runs behind the curtain. It runs into the closet. + +Mom chases the rat. She swings the broom. She misses the rat. She knocks over a lamp. She breaks a vase. She makes a bigger mess. + +Tom and Mia watch. They are still scared. But they are also amazed. Mom is powerful. She can catch the rat. + +"Go, Mom, go!" they cheer. + +Will Mom catch the rat? Will Tom and Mia get dry clothes? Will they clean up the mess? The story is not over yet. You can make up the rest. +Sara likes to play with her hoop. She rolls it on the grass and runs after it. She laughs when it goes fast or slow. She likes the sound it makes when it hits the fence or the tree. + +One day, she sees a big orange ball in the park. It is bigger than her hoop and very round. She wants to play with it. She runs to the ball and tries to roll it like her hoop. But the ball is too heavy and does not move. + +She pushes harder and harder. She feels angry and sad. She wants the ball to roll. She strikes the ball with her hand. The ball bounces back and hits her in the face. She falls down and cries. + +A man comes to her. He is the owner of the ball. He says he is sorry and asks if she is okay. He picks her up and gives her a hug. He says the ball is not for rolling, but for throwing and catching. He shows her how to do it. + +Sara stops crying and smiles. She likes the new game. She throws the ball to the man and he catches it. He throws it back to her and she catches it. They have fun together. Sara forgets about her hoop and the orange ball becomes her new friend. +Tim and Lily wanted to make a house with cardboard. They found many big boxes in the garage and brought them to the backyard. They cut and taped the boxes together to make walls and a roof. They also made a door and windows. + +"Look at our house, it is so big and nice!" Tim said. + +"Yes, it is! Let's go inside and play!" Lily said. + +They crawled into the house and pretended to cook and read and sleep. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. Rex was very nosy and curious. He saw the cardboard house and wanted to see what was inside. He ran towards the house and pushed the door with his nose. + +"Hey, Rex, stop! You will break our house!" Tim shouted. + +But Rex did not listen. He pushed harder and harder. The cardboard door fell down and Rex entered the house. He wagged his tail and licked Tim and Lily's faces. + +"Rex, you are so silly! You ruined our house!" Lily said. + +But Tim and Lily were not angry. They loved Rex and knew he just wanted to play. They hugged Rex and laughed. + +"Maybe we can make another house later. But this time, we need to support it better. And we need to keep Rex away!" Tim said. + +"Or maybe we can make a house for Rex, too. He can be our neighbor!" Lily said. + +They decided to make a house for Rex with the leftover cardboard. They made it smaller and stronger and put a sign on it that said "Rex's house". Rex was very happy and wagged his tail.

She said, "Mmm, this is good soup, Mom. Thank you." Mom smiled too. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Do you want more?" Lily shrugged. She was not sure. She said, "Maybe later."

They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He has a big truck and a loud horn. He does not share his toys. He makes a lot of noise. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way!" Sam says. He drives his truck fast and bumps into Tom and Lily. Their toys fall on the ground. Tom and Lily are sad and scared. + +"Stop it! That is not nice!" Lily says. She picks up her doll and hugs it. + +"Go away! This is my park!" Sam says. He honks his horn again and again. He makes a bad sound. + +Tom and Lily do not like Sam. They want to play somewhere else. They look for a quiet and safe place. They find a modest bench under a tree. They sit on the bench and play with their toys. + +"Can I play with you?" a voice says. Tom and Lily look up. They see a girl with a book and a hat. Her name is Mia. She smiles and waves. + +"Sure, you can play with us!" Tom says. He likes Mia. She is friendly and polite. + +"Thank you! What are you playing?" Mia says. She sits on the bench and opens her book. + +"We are playing with our ball, our bike and our doll. Do you want to try?" Lily says. She likes Mia too. She is kind and gentle. + +"Yes, please! That sounds fun! Can I show you my book too? It has pictures and stories!" Mia says. She is happy. She likes Tom and Lily. They are nice and generous. + +Tom, Lily and Mia play together. They include each other and share their toys. They have a lot of fun. They do not hear Sam and his truck anymore. They do not care. They have new friends. They are happy. +Lily was a daughter who liked to make things. She had many toys and papers and colors. She liked to attach them with glue and tape and make new things. One day, she wanted to make a huge thing. She asked her mom for help. + +Mom said, "What do you want to make, Lily?" + +Lily said, "I want to make a huge castle for my dolls. Can we use the big boxes?" + +Mom said, "Sure, we can use the big boxes. But we need to ask dad first. He is using some of them for his work." + +Lily and mom went to dad, who was in his office. He had many big boxes with papers and books and computers. Lily asked, "Dad, can I use some of your big boxes? I want to make a huge castle for my dolls." + +Dad said, "Of course, you can use some of my big boxes, Lily. But you have to be careful. Some of them are heavy and some of them have important things inside. You can use the empty ones. Here, let me help you." + +Dad gave Lily and mom some empty big boxes. He also gave them some scissors and markers and stickers. Lily and mom thanked dad and went to the living room. They started to attach the big boxes with tape and make a huge castle. They cut out windows and doors and towers. They colored and decorated the castle with markers and stickers. Lily was very happy. She put her dolls inside the castle and played with them. She said, "Look, mom, I made a huge castle for my dolls. It is very pretty and fun. Thank you for helping me." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very creative and clever. I'm proud of you, my daughter. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you too, mom." +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw many flowers of different colors. Sara liked the pink ones and Ben liked the yellow ones. They picked some flowers and put them in a basket. + +"Look, Sara, this flower is not open yet. It is a bud," Ben said, pointing to a green ball on a stem. + +"What is a bud?" Sara asked. + +"A bud is a flower that is not ready to bloom. Bloom means to open and show its color. Like this one," Ben said, showing her a purple flower. + +"Oh, I see. When will the bud bloom?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe tomorrow, maybe later. We have to wait and see," Ben said. + +They heard a bird singing on a tree. They looked up and saw a brown bird with a red chest. It had a feather in its beak. + +"Wow, what a pretty bird! What is it doing with the feather?" Sara asked. + +"Maybe it is making a nest. A nest is a home for birds. They use feathers and sticks and grass to make it cozy and warm," Ben said. + +"Can we see the nest?" Sara asked. + +"I don't think so. The nest is high up on the tree. And we should not bother the bird. It might be scared of us," Ben said. + +"Okay. Let's leave the bird alone. But can we sing with it?" Sara asked. + +"Sure. Let's sing a song about flowers and birds," Ben said. + +They sang a song and smiled. They liked the garden and the bird and each other. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog with black fur. The dog is barking and running around. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom says. "He is so big and loud!" + +Sue nods. "He is. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom shakes his head. "No, I am scared. He might bite me." + +Sue thinks for a moment. "Maybe he is friendly. Maybe he just wants to play. I want to try." + +She takes a step towards the dog. Tom grabs her hand. "No, Sue, don't! It is too dangerous!" + +Sue looks at Tom. "But I am brave. I am not scared. Are you brave, Tom?" + +Tom feels his heart beating fast. He wants to be brave, but he is also afraid. He looks at the dog. The dog stops barking and wags his tail. He looks at Sue and Tom with big eyes. + +"Maybe he is not so bad," Tom says. "Maybe he wants to be our friend." + +He lets go of Sue's hand. They both walk slowly towards the dog. The dog sniffs them and licks their faces. He is soft and warm. + +"Hi, dog," Sue says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks happily. He likes Sue and Tom. He wants to play with them. + +"Let's play fetch," Tom says. He picks up a stick and throws it. The dog runs after it and brings it back. + +Sue and Tom laugh. They have fun with the dog. They forget their fear. They are brave. + +They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the dog and hug him. They hope to see him again. + +"Bye, dog," Tom says. "You are a good dog. You have nice fur." + +"Bye, dog," Sue says. "You are a fun dog. You are brave, too." + +The dog barks and wags his tail. He is happy. He has new friends. He watches them leave and hopes to see them again, too. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big sheet in the closet. They decided to make a tent with it. They put the sheet over the table and chairs and crawled inside. + +"This is our secret fort," Tom said. "We can pretend we are on an adventure." + +Sue nodded. She liked to pretend. She saw a jar of red sauce on the table. She opened it and smelled it. It was spicy. She had an idea. + +"Let's play a trick on Mom," she said. "We can put some of this sauce on her sandwich. She will be surprised." + +Tom shrugged. He did not think it was a good idea. He knew Mom did not like spicy food. But he did not want to spoil Sue's fun. He said nothing. + +They waited until Mom came home. She was hungry and saw the sandwich on the table. She took a bite and felt a burning sensation in her mouth. She coughed and spit out the sandwich. + +"Who did this?" she asked, looking around. + +Tom and Sue came out of the tent. They saw Mom's face. She was angry and sad. They felt bad. + +"We did it, Mom," Sue said. "We wanted to play a trick on you. We put some spicy sauce on your sandwich. We are sorry." + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. She said, "That was not a nice trick, children. You should not play with food. You should not make someone eat something they do not like. How would you feel if I did that to you?" + +Tom and Sue thought about it. They did not like spicy food either. They would not like it if Mom put some on their food. They realized they had been mean to Mom. + +They said, "We would not like it, Mom. We would feel sad and mad. We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them and said, "I love you too, children. I forgive you. But next time, think before you act. And be kind to others. That is the best way to have fun." + +Tom and Sue nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped Mom make a new sandwich. They ate it together. It was not spicy. It was yummy. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a shiny green thing on the ground. It smelled good and sweet. + +"Look, Lily, a mint!" Tom said. "Let's eat it!" + +"No, Tom, we don't know what it is. It could be bad for us." Lily said. "Let's ask Mom first." + +But Tom did not listen. He crawled to the mint and put it in his mouth. He bit it and made a terrible face. + +"Yuck! This is not a mint! This is a bug!" Tom cried. "It is bitter and crunchy and has legs!" + +Lily was scared. She crawled to Tom and tried to help him spit out the bug. But it was too late. The bug had stung Tom's tongue and made it swell. + +Tom felt a lot of pain. He could not talk or breathe well. He started to cry louder and louder. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the garden. She saw Tom and Lily and the bug. She was very angry and worried. + +"Tom, what have you done? This is not a mint, this is a wasp! You are allergic to wasps! We have to go to the hospital now!" Mom said. + +She picked up Tom and Lily and ran to the car. She drove very fast to the hospital. She hoped Tom would be okay. + +But Tom was not okay. The wasp had poisoned him too much. He stopped breathing on the way. He died before they reached the hospital. + +Lily and Mom were very sad. They wished Tom had listened to Lily and not eaten the bug. They missed him a lot. They never played in the garden again. +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a lot of fun toys and games. One day, they decided to play on the swing. They pushed each other higher and higher. They laughed and shouted. + +"Look at me, I'm flying!" Sam said. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. + +They swung faster and faster. They felt dizzy, but they did not stop. They wanted to see how high they could go. They did not see the big tree behind them. + +CRASH! + +Sam and Lily hit the tree with a loud noise. They fell off the swing and landed on the ground. They felt a lot of pain. They cried and screamed. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My head hurts!" Sam said. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My arm hurts!" Lily said. + +They looked at each other. They saw blood and bruises. They were scared and sad. They wanted their moms and dads. + +"Sam, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lily said. + +"Lily, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sam said. + +They hugged each other. They tried to comfort each other. But they did not feel better. They felt worse. They wished they had not played on the swing. They wished they had played something else. They wished they had listened to their moms and dads. They learned a hard lesson. They never played on the swing again. +Tom was a boy who liked to grow things in his garden. He had carrots, beans, peas and radishes. He watered them every day and watched them grow. He was very proud of his garden. + +One morning, he woke up early and ran to his garden. He wanted to see if his radishes were ready to pick. He dug up one with his hands and smiled. It was big and red and round. He dug up another one and another one. He had a lot of radishes. + +He decided to share them with his friend, Lily. He put them in a basket and went to her house. He knocked on the door and waited. Lily's mom opened the door and said hello. + +"Hi, Tom. What do you have there?" she asked. + +"Radishes!" Tom said. "I grew them in my garden. Do you want some?" + +"Wow, that's very nice of you, Tom. Thank you. Lily is still sleeping, but I'm sure she would love some radishes. Do you want to come in and wait for her?" + +"OK," Tom said. He followed Lily's mom into the kitchen. He put his basket on the table and looked around. He saw a big brown cake on the counter. It smelled good. He wondered what it was. + +"That's a chocolate cake," Lily's mom said, seeing his curious eyes. "I made it for Lily's birthday. Today is her special day. She will be very happy when she wakes up and sees it." + +Tom's eyes widened. He had forgotten that today was Lily's birthday. He felt bad. He had not brought her a present. He only had radishes. He wished he had something else to give her. He looked at the cake again. It looked so yummy. He wished he could have a slice. He wondered if Lily would share it with him. He hoped she would. He liked chocolate cake. He liked Lily. He wanted to make her happy. + +He heard a noise from upstairs. It was Lily. She was waking up. He heard her footsteps on the stairs. He saw her enter the kitchen. She had a big smile on her face. She saw Tom and the cake and the radishes. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"Happy birthday, Lily!" Tom said. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily said. "You are my best friend. You brought me radishes. I love radishes. They are my favorite. Can we eat them now?" + +"Sure," Tom said. He was glad that Lily liked his radishes. He was glad that she was happy. He gave her one and took one for himself. They crunched them together and laughed. + +Lily's mom smiled and cut a slice of cake for each of them. She put them on plates and gave them forks. She said, "Happy birthday, Lily. And thank you, Tom, for being such a good friend. You both deserve a treat. Enjoy your cake." + +Tom and Lily thanked her and ate their cake. It was delicious. They shared it and smiled. They were happy. They had radishes and cake and each other. They had everything they needed. +Tim and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to make big buildings with many blocks. They put blocks on top of blocks until they have a tall tower. + +"Look at my building!" Tim says. "It is very big and tough. No one can break it." + +Mia smiles. She has a big ball in her hand. She wants to play a game. She says, "Can I see your building, Tim? It is very nice." + +Tim nods. He is proud of his building. He moves closer to show Mia his building. Mia throws the ball at the building. The ball hits the building hard. The building falls down. The blocks drop on the floor. They make a loud noise. + +"Hey!" Tim says. He is angry. He looks at his broken building. He looks at Mia. "Why did you do that? You broke my building!" + +Mia laughs. She says, "It was a game, Tim. I wanted to see if your building was tough. It was not tough. It was easy to break." + +Tim does not think it is funny. He does not like Mia's game. He says, "That was not a game, Mia. That was mean. You are not my friend." + +Mia stops laughing. She sees that Tim is sad. She feels sorry. She says, "I am sorry, Tim. I did not mean to make you sad. I was just playing. You are my friend. Can we make another building together?" + +Tim thinks for a moment. He is still angry, but he likes Mia. He says, "Okay, Mia. We can make another building. But no more balls. And no more breaking." + +Mia nods. She says, "Okay, Tim. No more balls. And no more breaking. We can make a nice building. And we can share it." + +Tim and Mia hug. They are friends again. They pick up the blocks. They start to make another building. They hope it will be big and tough. And they hope no one will break it. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a net to catch bugs and butterflies. They saw a big, red butterfly on a flower and ran to it. + +"Let me take the net!" Tom said. He wanted to catch the butterfly first. + +"No, I want to take the net!" Lily said. She also wanted to catch the butterfly first. + +They pulled the net from each other and fought. The butterfly flew away. They were sad and angry. + +"Go away, Tom! You are not my friend!" Lily said. + +"Go away, Lily! You are not my friend!" Tom said. + +They went to different sides of the park and did not play together. They did not share the net or anything else. They were not generous. They were lonely and unhappy. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they quarrel over the toys. They want the same toy or they do not want to share. + +One day, they quarrel over a gray car. Sara says it is hers. Ben says it is his. They pull and tug on the car. They yell and cry. Mom hears them and comes to their room. + +Mom is not happy. She sees the toys all over the floor. She sees the twins fighting over the car. She says, "Stop quarreling, Sara and Ben. You have many toys. You can play with different toys or take turns with the car. And you need to clean up your room. It is very messy. I want you to be organized and tidy." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other and to Mom. They hug and make up. They decide to play with the car together. They also pick up their toys and put them in their boxes. They make their room organized and neat. + +Mom is proud of them. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are very smart and kind. You know how to share and cooperate. And you know how to be organized and tidy. I love you very much." She gives them a kiss and a hug. They smile and say, "We love you too, Mom." They play happily in their room. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they have different ways of playing. Tom likes to sort his toys by color, shape and size. He makes neat piles of red cars, blue balls and yellow blocks. Lily likes to mix her toys and pretend they are having adventures. She makes a big mess of pink dolls, green dinosaurs and orange trains. + +One day, their mom gives them some money. She says they can buy a new toy if they save enough. Tom and Lily are happy. They want to be independent and choose their own toy. But they have a problem. They share one piggy bank. Tom wants to sort the money by coin and bill. He says it is easier to count and save. Lily wants to mix the money and pretend it is treasure. She says it is more fun and creative. + +They start to argue. Tom says Lily is silly and messy. Lily says Tom is boring and bossy. They pull the piggy bank and try to take the money. The piggy bank falls and breaks. The money spills everywhere. Tom and Lily are sad and sorry. They see their mom coming. They are afraid she will be angry. + +Their mom sees the broken piggy bank and the money. She is not angry. She is calm and kind. She says they can fix the piggy bank with glue. She says they can share the money and buy a toy together. She says they can sort or mix the money as they like, as long as they respect each other. She says they are both smart and creative. + +Tom and Lily hug their mom. They say they are sorry and they love her. They say they love each other too. They decide to sort the money together and buy a toy they both like. They learn to be independent and cooperative. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games. Today they play a game with medals. Medals are shiny things that you get when you do something good. + +Anna and Ben have three medals each. They put them on a table. They take turns to pick one medal and say why they like it. Anna picks a medal with a star. She says, "I like this medal because it is pretty and it makes me happy." Ben picks a medal with a lion. He says, "I like this medal because it is strong and it makes me brave." + +They keep picking medals and saying why they like them. But soon they run out of medals. They look at each other. They are bored. They want to play something else. + +"Let's play squeeze," Anna says. "Squeeze is a fun game. We squeeze each other and see who laughs first." + +"OK, let's play squeeze," Ben says. "But I will win. I can squeeze harder than you." + +They stand up and face each other. They put their arms around each other. They start to squeeze. They squeeze and squeeze and squeeze. They try not to laugh. But they can't help it. They laugh and laugh and laugh. They fall on the floor. They hug each other. They are happy. + +They forget about the medals. They don't need them. They have each other. They have fun. They love squeeze. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat meat for lunch. But they had a problem. There was only one piece of meat left in the fridge. + +"Who will get the meat?" Tom asked. + +"I want the meat!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Tom said. + +They looked at the meat. They looked at each other. They did not know what to do. + +Then Lily had an idea. She was very creative. + +"I know!" she said. "Let's play a game. We will pass the meat to each other. Whoever drops the meat will lose. The winner will get the meat. OK?" + +"OK!" Tom said. He liked games. + +They took the meat out of the fridge. They stood on opposite sides of the table. They started to pass the meat to each other. + +"Pass!" Lily said, and threw the meat to Tom. + +"Pass!" Tom said, and caught the meat. + +"Pass!" Lily said, and threw the meat back to Lily. + +They passed the meat faster and faster. They had fun. They laughed. + +But then, something happened. Tom threw the meat too hard. Lily missed the catch. The meat flew over her head. It landed on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. + +They ran to the meat. They saw the meat was dirty. It had dust and hair on it. It did not look good. + +They looked at the meat. They looked at each other. They did not want the meat anymore. + +They had a new idea. They threw the meat in the trash. They made sandwiches instead. They shared the sandwiches. They were happy. They ate their lunch. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her big sister. She had a lot of fun clothes to try on. One day, she found a vest in the closet. It was red and shiny, with buttons and pockets. Lily thought it was very pretty. She put it on over her dress and looked in the mirror. + +She wanted to show her vest to her sister, who was in the garden. She ran outside, but she saw a big dog on the way. The dog was barking and jumping. Lily was scared. She did not like the dog. She wanted to go back inside, but the dog was in front of the door. + +She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and waved it at the dog. She hoped the dog would go away. But the dog did not go away. It ran towards her and grabbed the vest with its teeth. It pulled and tugged, trying to take the vest from Lily. + +Lily did not want to lose her vest. She held on tight and shouted for help. She tried to carry the vest and the stick, but they were too heavy. She fell down and started to cry. + +Her sister heard her cry and came running. She saw the dog and the vest and the stick. She was angry and brave. She yelled at the dog and threw a stone at it. The dog let go of the vest and ran away. It did not like the stone. + +Lily's sister helped her up and hugged her. She checked her vest and saw that it was torn and dirty. She was sad, but she did not blame Lily. She knew that Lily liked the vest and tried to save it. She said, "It's okay, Lily. It's just an ordinary vest. We can find another one. You are more important than a vest. I love you." Lily smiled and said, "I love you too." They went inside and played dress-up again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They get very dirty. + +"Boys, time to take a bath!" Mom calls. "You are all muddy!" + +Tom and Sam do not want to take a bath. They want to play more. They run away from Mom. They hide behind the tree. + +"Come on, boys, don't be silly!" Mom says. "You need to wash with soap and water. Soap makes you clean and smells good." + +Tom and Sam do not like soap. Soap is blue and slimy. Soap hurts their eyes. Soap tastes bad. + +"No, Mom, no soap!" Tom says. + +"Me too, no soap!" Sam says. + +Mom finds them behind the tree. She is not happy. She picks them up and carries them to the bathroom. + +"Boys, you have to mind me!" Mom says. "Soap is good for you. It kills germs and makes you healthy. If you don't use soap, you will get sick and itchy." + +Tom and Sam do not want to get sick and itchy. They do not want to make Mom sad. They decide to try the soap. + +Mom fills the tub with warm water. She puts some soap in the water. She makes bubbles with her hand. She shows Tom and Sam how to wash their hair and body with the soap. + +"See, boys, soap is fun!" Mom says. "It makes bubbles and shapes. It makes you soft and shiny. It makes you smell like flowers." + +Tom and Sam see the bubbles and shapes. They touch the soap and feel the softness. They smell the soap and like the flowers. They start to like the soap. + +"Mom, soap is good!" Tom says. + +"Me too, soap is good!" Sam says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She rinses them with water. She wraps them in towels. She dries them and dresses them. + +"Boys, you are clean and beautiful!" Mom says. "I am proud of you. You minded me and used the soap. Now you can play again." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They thank Mom and kiss her. They run to their room and play with their toys. They do not mind the soap anymore. They like the soap. The soap is blue and good. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Tom was very tired. He wanted to rest. + +"Can we sit down for a bit?" he asked Lily. + +"No, I want to play more!" Lily said. "Come on, Tom, don't be lazy!" + +Tom followed Lily, but he was not happy. He wished he had a friend who was more patient. + +They saw a big tree with a swing. Lily ran to the swing and pushed Tom away. + +"This is my swing!" she said. "You can't have it!" + +Tom was sad and angry. He looked around and saw a bench. He walked to the bench and sat down. He saw a mark on the bench. It was a picture of a heart with two names: Tom and Lily. + +Tom smiled. He remembered when he and Lily made that mark. They used a stick and scratched the bench. They were happy and kind to each other. They said they were best friends. + +Tom wondered what happened to Lily. Why was she so mean now? He wished she would come and sit with him. He wished they could be friends again. + +He heard a loud cry. He looked up and saw Lily on the ground. She had fallen from the swing and hurt her knee. She was bleeding and crying. + +Tom ran to Lily and helped her up. He took her to the bench and wrapped his scarf around her knee. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Tom. She saw the mark on the bench. She saw the heart and the names. She felt sorry and ashamed. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean to you. You are a good friend. You are patient and kind. Can we still be friends?" she asked. + +Tom smiled and nodded. He said, "Of course we can. We are best friends. We always will be." + +They hugged and smiled. They looked at the mark on the bench. They felt happy and grateful. They decided to rest for a while and then play some more. They learned to be patient and kind to each other. They learned to be better friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. They are happy and laugh a lot. + +One day, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck has a shovel. The shovel pushes the snow away from the road. The truck makes the snow dirty and hard. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like the truck. They want the snow to be white and soft. They run to the truck and shout. + +"Stop! Stop! You are ruining our snow! Go away!" + +The truck driver hears them. He stops the truck and gets out. He is big and tall. He looks at Anna and Ben. + +"Hello, kids. I am sorry, but I have to clear the road. It is my job. The snow is too much. It can be dangerous for cars and people." + +"But we love the snow! It is fun and pretty. It is delicate. You are making it ugly and hard. You are not nice!" + +Anna and Ben say. + +The truck driver smiles. He is not angry. He understands. + +"I know, kids. I love the snow too. It is beautiful and delicate. But it can also be cold and heavy. It can block the road and cause problems. I have to do my job. But I have an idea. Why don't you come with me? I can show you something." + +Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what the truck driver has to show them. They nod and follow him. He takes them to a big park. The park has a lot of snow. The snow is white and soft. The truck driver points to a hill. + +"Look, kids. There is a lot of snow here. You can play here as much as you want. You can make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. You can slide down the hill. You can have fun. And I will not bother you. I will only clear the road. How does that sound?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like the park. They like the hill. They like the snow. They thank the truck driver. + +"Thank you, mister. You are nice. You are smart. You have a good idea. We will play here. We will have fun. We will be careful." + +They say. + +The truck driver nods and smiles. He gets back in his truck. He drives away. He clears the road. He does his job. + +Anna and Ben play in the park. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. They slide down the hill. They laugh a lot. They are happy. They love the snow. The snow is fun and pretty. The snow is delicate. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big jug of water and some cups. They pretended to have a tea party with their toys. + +"Would you like some tea, Mr. Bear?" Sara asked, pouring water into a cup. + +"Yes, please, Sara. You are very kind," Mr. Bear said in a high voice. + +Ben watched them and felt left out. He wanted to join the tea party, but he did not have a toy. He looked around and saw a big rock. He picked it up and brought it to the table. + +"Can I play too?" he asked Sara. "This is my toy. His name is Rocky." + +Sara looked at the rock and frowned. She did not think it was a good toy. She thought it was dirty and hard. + +"No, you can't play," she said. "Rocky is not a toy. He is a rock. Rocks don't drink tea. Go away." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with Sara and Mr. Bear. He did not want to go away. He wanted to show Sara that Rocky was a good toy. + +He grabbed the jug of water and poured it over Sara and Mr. Bear. + +"Hey, stop that!" Sara shouted. "You are wetting us!" + +"Rocky is thirsty," Ben said. "He likes water. He is a good toy." + +Sara and Mr. Bear were soaked. They did not like water. They did not like Rocky. They did not like Ben. + +They ran away from the table and into the house. They told their mom what Ben did. + +Mom came out and saw Ben sitting alone with Rocky and the empty jug. She felt sorry for him. She knew he wanted to play with Sara and Mr. Bear. + +She went to him and gave him a hug. + +"Ben, I know you wanted to play with Sara and Mr. Bear, but you can't pour water on them. That is not nice. That is not how you make friends," she said. + +Ben looked down and nodded. He knew he was wrong. He was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Mr. Bear. I just wanted to play," he said. + +Mom smiled and kissed him. + +"I know, Ben. I know. But you have to accept that not everyone likes the same toys as you. You have to be kind and gentle with other people's toys. And you have to ask before you join a tea party. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben nodded again. He understood. He wanted to be kind and gentle. He wanted to ask before he joined a tea party. + +"Can I say sorry to Sara and Mr. Bear?" he asked. + +Mom nodded and took his hand. + +"Of course, Ben. Of course. Come on, let's go inside. Maybe they will let you play with them if you say sorry. And maybe they will like Rocky if you tell them more about him. He is a very mild rock, isn't he?" she said. + +Ben smiled and squeezed Rocky. + +"Yes, Mom. He is a very mild rock. He is my best friend," he said. +Lila was a princess who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a prince doll. She liked to pretend that he was her friend and they went on adventures together. + +One day, she was playing with her prince doll in her room, when she heard a loud noise. She paused and listened. It was her brother, Tom, who was angry. He wanted to play with her prince doll, too. He knocked on her door and shouted, "Lila, give me your prince doll! I want to play with him!" + +Lila was scared. She did not want to share her prince doll with Tom. She knew that he was rough and mean. She said, "No, Tom, this is my prince doll. You have your own toys. Go away!" + +Tom did not listen. He kicked the door and broke it. He ran into her room and grabbed her prince doll. He said, "Ha, ha, now he is mine! I will make him fight with my dragon toy!" + +Lila cried. She tried to get her prince doll back, but Tom was stronger. He pushed her away and ran out of the room. He laughed and said, "Bye, bye, princess! Your prince is gone!" + +Lila was very sad. She had no one to play with. She had no one to protect her. She had no one to love her. She wished that her prince doll would come back. She wished that Tom would be calm and nice. She wished that her door would be fixed. But none of her wishes came true. She was alone and unhappy. The end. +Anna liked to feed the chickens in the farm. She had a big bucket of corn and she threw some on the ground. The chickens ran to eat the corn. They made loud noises and flapped their wings. + +Anna saw a white chicken with a red thing on its head. She wanted to touch it. She walked slowly to the chicken and reached out her hand. The chicken did not see her. It was busy eating corn. + +But when Anna touched the chicken, it got scared. It squawked and jumped away. It ran behind a big tree. Anna followed it. She wanted to say sorry to the chicken. She looked behind the tree, but the chicken was not there. It had disappeared! + +Anna was sad. She did not want to lose the chicken. She looked around, but she could not find it. She started to cry. She wanted her mom. + +Then she heard a soft noise. It was the chicken. It had come out from behind the tree. It saw Anna crying and felt sorry. It walked to Anna and rubbed its head on her leg. It made a calm noise. + +Anna stopped crying. She smiled and hugged the chicken. She said sorry again and gave it some corn. The chicken ate the corn and made a happy noise. Anna and the chicken were friends. +Tom and Lily like to play with their net. They use it to catch bugs and fish in the pond. One day, they see a big frog sitting on a rock. They want to catch it and look at it. + +"Let's get the frog!" Tom says. He holds the net and runs to the pond. Lily follows him. + +The frog sees them and jumps into the water. Tom and Lily look for it, but they can't see it. The water is dark and deep. + +"Where is it?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe it is hiding under the rock," Tom says. He raises the net and swings it over the rock. He hopes to catch the frog. + +But he catches something else. Something long and slimy and angry. A snake! + +The snake hisses and wriggles in the net. Tom screams and drops the net. Lily screams too. They run away from the pond. + +The frog pops its head out of the water. It croaks and laughs. It is glad that the snake scared the children away. It hops back to the rock and sits there. It is safe and happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys and their dog. But today, they are very dirty. They have mud on their hands, their faces, their clothes and their hair. Their mom says, "It is time to wash. Washing is important. You need to be clean and healthy." + +Anna and Ben do not want to wash. They want to play more. They say, "No, mom. We do not like to wash. Washing is boring. We like to play. Can we play more, please?" Their mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot play more. You have to wash. Come on, I will help you. Let's go to the bathtub." + +Anna and Ben follow their mom to the bathroom. They see the bathtub. It is full of warm water and bubbles. Their mom puts some toys in the water. She says, "Look, the bathtub is fun. You can play with your toys in the water. You can make bubbles with your hands. You can splash and laugh. And you can wash at the same time. Washing is not boring. Washing is fun." + +Anna and Ben smile. They like the bathtub. They like the water and the bubbles and the toys. They take off their clothes and get in the water. They play with their toys. They make bubbles with their hands. They splash and laugh. And they wash. They wash their hands, their faces, their clothes and their hair. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are right. Washing is important. And washing is fun." Their mom smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. I am proud of you. You are clean and healthy. And you are good twins." +Ben and Mia like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They make a big hill with the sand. They want to put the bucket on top of the hill. + +Ben tries to stand on the hill. He is too fat. He falls down. The sand goes in his mouth. He spits and cries. Mia laughs. + +Mia tries to stand on the hill. She is not fat. She is careful. She puts the bucket on top of the hill. She is happy. She claps her hands. + +Ben is not happy. He is angry. He pushes the hill. The hill falls down. The bucket falls down. The bucket hits Mia on the head. She cries. + +Ben and Mia are both sad. They hug each other. They say sorry. They make a new hill. They share the bucket. They are friends. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with flowers and grass. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. But the hill was steep and slippery. Lila stumbled and fell. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Ben, help me!" she said. + +Ben heard her and turned around. He saw her on the ground, with blood on her knee. He ran back to her and hugged her. + +"Don't cry, Lila. I'm here. Let me see your knee," he said. + +He looked at her knee and saw a small cut. He took a tissue from his pocket and wiped it gently. He kissed it and said, "There, there. It's not so bad. You're brave, Lila." + +Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You're kind, Ben." + +They hugged again and got up. They looked at the other side of the hill and saw a pond with ducks and fish. They also saw a fly buzzing around. It was shiny and green. + +"Look, Ben, a fly!" Lila said. + +"Let's catch it, Lila!" Ben said. + +They chased the fly, laughing and clapping. The fly was fast and smart. It dodged and darted. It landed on a flower, then on a duck, then on a fish. + +They couldn't catch it, but they had fun. They forgot about the hill and the knee and the pain. They were happy and free. + +The fly saw them and smiled. It was generous and playful. It liked to make them laugh and run. It flew away and said, "Bye, bye, Lila and Ben. Come back and play with me again." +Lila and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find new things and have fun. They saw a big hole in the hill. It was dark and scary. + +"Let's go inside," Ben said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, thank you," Lila said. She was afraid and careful. "It looks cold and wet. Maybe there are bad animals inside." + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the hole and went in. He wanted to see what was there. Lila followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +They walked in the hole for a long time. It was cold and wet. They could not see much. They heard strange noises. They felt scared. + +"Ben, I want to go back," Lila said. She held his hand tight. + +"Me too," Ben said. He realized he made a mistake. He did not like the hole. He wanted to see the sun and the trees again. + +They turned around and walked back. They hoped to find the way out. They saw a light at the end of the hole. It was the sun. They were happy. + +They ran out of the hole and hugged each other. They were safe and warm. They learned a lesson. They decided to accept their fears and not go into scary places. They went back to their home and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were okay. She gave them cookies and milk. They smiled and said thank you. They were good children. +Tom and Lily like to play in the rain. They put on their boots and coats and run outside. They splash in the puddles and laugh. They see a big truck coming down the street. It is very slow and loud. + +The truck has a hose on the back. It sprays water on the street. The water is dirty and smelly. Tom and Lily do not like it. They try to run away, but it is too late. The water hits them and they get very wet. They soak their boots and coats and hair. + +Tom and Lily are not happy. They cry and shiver. They go back inside. Mom sees them and hugs them. She takes off their wet clothes and gives them dry ones. She makes them hot cocoa and cookies. She tells them a story. Tom and Lily feel better. They smile and thank Mom. They decide not to play in the rain anymore. +Sam was a doctor. His job was to heal people who were sick or hurt. He liked his job very much. He had a new coat and a new bag with tools and medicines. He was happy. + +One day, he went to a big house where many people lived. Some of them were very sick. Sam wanted to help them. He knocked on the door and said, "Hello, I am Sam, the doctor. I am here to heal you." + +But the people in the house did not like Sam. They did not trust him. They thought he was a bad man who wanted to hurt them. They shouted at him and threw things at him. They said, "Go away, Sam, the doctor. We do not want you here. You are not welcome." + +Sam was sad and scared. He tried to run away, but the people chased him. They caught him and hit him. They took his coat and his bag and threw them in the fire. They said, "This is what you get, Sam, the doctor. You are not a healer, you are a liar." + +Sam was very sick and hurt. He had no coat, no bag, no tools, no medicines. He had no one to help him. He cried and cried. He wished he had never come to the big house. He wished he had a different job. He wished he had a new life. But it was too late. Sam, the doctor, died. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's have a race!" Sam says. "Who can run to the slide first?" + +"OK!" Lily says. "Ready, set, go!" + +They both run as fast as they can. Sam is faster than Lily. He gets to the slide first. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. + +"I win!" Sam shouts. "I am the best!" + +Lily is sad. She wanted to win too. She gets to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sees Sam waiting for her at the bottom. + +"Hey, Lily!" Sam says. "Do you want to slide with me?" + +Lily smiles. She slides down with Sam. They both laugh. + +"Sliding is fun!" Lily says. "You are a good friend, Sam." + +"You are a good friend too, Lily." Sam says. "But you are also silly. You have a leaf in your hair!" + +Lily feels the leaf and takes it out. She giggles. + +"You are silly too, Sam. You have mud on your face!" + +They both look at each other and laugh. They run to the swings and play some more. They are happy. +Lily was very hungry. She wanted to eat her meal, but it was too high on the table. She tried to reach it with her hand, but she was too small. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was too wobbly. She tried to jump, but she was too tired. + +She saw her big brother Tom eating his meal. He had a sandwich, a banana and a cookie. Lily wanted some of his food. She said, "Tom, can I have some of your meal? I am very hungry." + +Tom looked at Lily. He saw that she was sad and hungry. He was a kind brother. He said, "Sure, Lily, you can have some of my meal. Here, have half of my sandwich and half of my banana. You can also have my cookie, because I know you like cookies." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom, you are a good brother. Your meal is very yummy." She ate the food that Tom gave her. She felt happy and full. + +Tom smiled too. He said, "You are welcome, Lily, you are a sweet sister. I am glad you like my meal. Do you want to play with me after we finish eating?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Tom, I want to play with you. You are fun." They finished their meal and went to play together. They had a good day. +Jill and Mom went to the store. Jill saw a big, red ball. She wanted the ball very much. She asked Mom, "Can I have the ball, please?" + +Mom said, "No, Jill. We have many balls at home. You don't need another one." + +Jill was very sad. She started to weep. She cried and cried. She said, "But I love the ball! It is so big and red and round!" + +Mom said, "Jill, stop weeping. You are making a lot of noise. People are looking at us. We have to go now." + +Mom took Jill's hand and walked to the door. Jill wept louder and louder. She did not want to leave the ball. She tried to pull away from Mom. + +Mom said, "Jill, be a good girl. Weeping will not get you the ball. You have to listen to me. It is not easy to go to the store with you when you act like this." + +Jill felt sorry. She did not want to make Mom angry. She wiped her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I will be a good girl. Can we go home and play with the balls we have?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Jill. We can do that. I love you, Jill. You are a good girl." + +Jill hugged Mom and said, "I love you, Mom. You are a good Mom." + +They went home and played with the balls. Jill forgot about the big, red ball at the store. She was happy with Mom. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a big bottle of glue in the closet. They wanted to make something with the glue. + +"Let's glue the blocks together and make a tower," Ben said. + +"OK, that sounds fun," Lily said. + +They took the blocks and the glue and went to the table. They put glue on the blocks and stuck them together. They made a tall tower with many colors. They were happy. + +But then, Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She saw glue on the table, on the floor, on the blocks, and on Ben and Lily's hands. + +"Ben, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We made a tower with glue," Ben said. + +"It's very pretty," Lily said. + +Mom sighed. "I'm glad you had fun, but glue is not for playing. It's for sticking things that need to be stuck. And now you have to clean up the mess. Come on, let's go wash your hands and get some wipes." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not know glue was not for playing. They followed Mom and helped her clean up the mess. They learned to be careful with glue. They still liked to play, but they used other things, like crayons and stickers. They also said sorry to Mom and gave her a hug. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She loved them very much. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play and share. But today, they are grumpy. They do not want to share their toys. They fight and yell. + +"Give me the truck!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Anna says. + +They pull and tug. The truck breaks. They cry. + +Mom hears them. She is sad. She says, "Why are you grumpy? Don't you know it is Grandma's birthday? We have a gift for her. We need to mail it today." + +Tom and Anna stop crying. They love Grandma. They want to make her happy. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We forgot. What is the gift?" + +Mom shows them. It is a big card. It has a picture of Tom and Anna. It says, "We love you, Grandma!" + +Tom and Anna smile. They say, "That is a nice gift. Can we help you mail it?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, you need to hug and say sorry to each other." + +Tom and Anna hug. They say, "Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Anna. We love you." + +Mom says, "That's good. Now, let's go to the post office. Grandma will be happy to get our gift." + +They go to the post office. They mail the gift. They are not grumpy anymore. They are happy. They learn to share and be kind. +Sara was a spoiled girl who always wanted new toys. She did not like to share with her brother Tom or her friends. She cried and screamed when she did not get what she wanted. + +One day, Sara saw a shiny red car in the toy store. She wanted it very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. She said Sara had enough toys and she should be happy with what she had. Sara was very angry. She threw a tantrum and ran away from her mom. + +She found the red car on a shelf and grabbed it. She did not see the cord that was attached to the car and the shelf. She pulled the car hard and the cord snapped. The car fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Sara was shocked and scared. She heard a loud voice behind her. + +"Hey, what did you do? That was my car! You broke it!" It was the boy who owned the car. He was very sad and mad. He came to Sara and pushed her. Sara fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken car, the angry boy, and the crying Sara. She was very disappointed and ashamed. She apologized to the boy and his mom and paid for the car. She took Sara home and scolded her. She said Sara was very naughty and selfish. She said Sara had to learn to be grateful and respectful. She said Sara could not play with any toys for a week. Sara felt very sorry and sad. She wished she had listened to her mom and not been so spoiled. + +The moral of the story is: Greed leads to trouble and sorrow. We should be content with what we have and share with others. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a big truck stop near the gate. The truck had many boxes on it. A man came out of the truck with a small box in his hand. He looked at a paper and walked to the park. + +"Hello, I have a package for you," the man said to Ben and Lily's mom. He gave her the box and the paper. "Please sign here." + +"What is it, mom?" Ben asked. + +"It's a gift from your grandma. She lives far away and she misses you," mom said. She opened the box and showed Ben and Lily what was inside. There were two books, two teddy bears and two cookies. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma!" Ben and Lily said. They hugged the teddy bears and took the cookies. They looked at the books and saw colorful pictures and words. + +"Can you read us a story, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my sweeties. Let's sit on the bench and read together," mom said. She signed the paper and gave it back to the man. "Thank you for the package." + +"You're welcome. Have a nice day," the man said. He returned to the truck and drove away. + +Ben, Lily and mom sat on the bench and read the books. They learned about animals, shapes and colors. They ate the cookies and shared them with the birds. They felt happy and peaceful. They thanked grandma in their hearts for the lovely gift. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But they do not like the big dog that lives next to the park. The big dog is loud and mean. He barks and growls and chases them. He makes them fearful. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see the big dog behind the gate. The gate is closed. They are happy. They think the big dog cannot get out. They hope the gate stays closed. They play and laugh and have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. They look and see the gate is open. The big dog is out. He runs towards them. He barks and growls and shows his teeth. He makes them very fearful. They scream and run away. They hope the big dog does not catch them. + +They run to the other side of the park. They see a man. The man is the big dog's owner. He calls the big dog. He says sorry to Sara and Ben. He says the big dog is not mean. He says the big dog just wants to play. He says the big dog is friendly. He says the gate was broken. He says he will fix the gate. + +Sara and Ben are still fearful. They do not believe the man. They do not want to play with the big dog. They say bye to the man. They say bye to the big dog. They go home. They hope the gate is fixed. They hope the big dog stays behind the gate. They hope they can play in the park without fear. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many cars, dolls, animals and blocks. One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there is a model of a plane. It is very shiny and has wings, a tail and a nose. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It is a plane. Can we play with it?" + +Ben nods. He likes planes. He takes the model out of the box and puts it on the floor. He pretends to fly it around the room. He makes zoom and whoosh sounds. + +Sara wants to play too. She sees a seat on the plane. It is small and red. She thinks it is for a doll. She takes her favorite doll, Lily, and tries to put her on the seat. + +But the seat is too tight. Sara pushes and pulls, but Lily does not fit. She gets angry and pushes harder. Then, she hears a snap. The seat breaks off the plane. It falls on the floor with Lily. + +"Oh no!" Sara cries. "I broke the plane! And Lily!" + +Ben stops flying the plane. He sees the broken seat and the doll. He is sad and mad. He likes the plane. He thinks Sara is bad. + +"Look what you did!" Ben shouts. "You broke the plane! It is not for dolls! It is for flying! You are a bad sister!" + +Sara feels sorry and scared. She did not mean to break the plane. She likes the plane too. She thinks Ben is mean. + +"I am sorry!" Sara says. "I did not know! I just wanted to play! You are a mean brother!" + +They both start to cry. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on the floor and hug their toys. They are not happy. +Lila was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She had a big doll with long hair and a small doll with a hat. She pretended they were sisters who went to the park. + +"Come on, sister, let's go on the swing!" said the big doll. + +"Okay, sister, but be careful, you are heavy!" said the small doll. + +Lila made them walk to the swing and sit on it. She pushed them gently and made them laugh. + +Suddenly, she heard a noise at the door. She turned around and saw her real sister, Anna, appear. Anna was older than Lila and had a backpack. She had just come back from school. + +"Hi, Lila, what are you doing?" asked Anna. + +"Hi, Anna, I am playing with my dolls. They are sisters, too!" said Lila. + +"Can I play with you?" asked Anna. + +"Sure, you can be their friend!" said Lila. + +Anna smiled and put down her backpack. She picked up another doll and joined Lila on the floor. They played together and had fun. Lila was happy to have a sister and a friend. +Lily had a fancy hat that she loved very much. It was pink and had a big flower on it. She wore it every day when she went to the park with her mom. One day, the wind was very strong and it blew her hat away. Lily was very sad and cried. + +"Mom, mom, where is my hat?" she asked. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe it flew over there, behind the trees. Let's go and search for it," her mom said. + +They walked and walked, but they could not find the hat. Lily saw many other things, like a ball, a kite, a bird, and a dog, but not her hat. She felt more and more sad. + +"Mom, I think I lost my hat forever. It was my favorite hat," she said. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you loved your hat. But maybe we can find another one that you like. Or maybe we can make one together. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded and smiled a little. She still missed her hat, but she liked the idea of making a new one with her mom. Maybe it would be even more fancy. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. They had a big red ambulance with a loud siren. They pretended to be doctors and help people. + +One day, they saw a real ambulance outside their house. It was for their grandma. She was very sick. Tim and Sam were scared and sad. They wanted to see their grandma. + +They ran outside and followed the ambulance. They did not look at the cars or the street. They only looked at the ambulance. They wanted to open the door and go inside. + +But the ambulance was too fast. It went through a green light. Tim and Sam did not see the red light. They ran into the street. A big truck was coming. It could not stop. + +The truck hit Tim and Sam. They flew in the air. They landed on the ground. They did not move. They did not make a sound. + +The ambulance stopped. The doctors came out. They saw Tim and Sam. They were very sad. They tried to help them. But it was too late. + +The truck driver was very sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. He was not proud. He was ashamed. He cried. + +The end. +Lily liked to fix things. She had a box of tools that her dad gave her. She fixed her toys, her books, and her clothes. She was very good at fixing things. + +One day, Lily saw a big steak on the kitchen table. It was for dinner. Lily thought the steak looked boring. She wanted to make it more lively. She took her tools and went to the steak. She poked it with a screwdriver, she hammered it with a hammer, and she sawed it with a saw. She made holes and cuts and dents in the steak. She was very happy. + +But her mom was not happy. She came into the kitchen and saw what Lily had done. She was very angry. She yelled at Lily and took away her tools. She said Lily had ruined the steak and they had nothing to eat. She sent Lily to her room without dinner. Lily was very sad. She wished she had not fixed the steak. She wished she had left it alone. She learned that some things are better not to fix. +Sara and Ben are friends who live on a farm. They like to play in the wheat field and make crowns from the wheat stems. One day, they see a big truck coming to the farm. The truck has a sign that says "Wheat Buyers". + +"Who are they?" Sara asks. + +"They are people who buy wheat from farmers. They pay money for the wheat and then they make bread and other things from it," Ben explains. + +"Why do they pay money for wheat? Wheat is everywhere. We can just pick it and play with it," Sara says. + +"Because wheat is expensive. It takes a lot of work and water and sun to grow wheat. And not everyone has wheat. Some people live in places where there is no wheat, or not enough wheat. So they need to buy it from farmers who have wheat," Ben says. + +"Oh, I see. But I like wheat. I don't want them to take it away. Can we keep some wheat for ourselves?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to ask the farmer first. He is the one who owns the wheat. He is the one who decides who can have it and who can't. He is the one who minds the wheat," Ben says. + +They run to the farmer, who is talking to the truck driver. They wait until he is done and then they ask him. + +"Hello, farmer. Can we have some wheat, please? We want to make crowns and play in the field," Sara says. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben. You are very polite. Yes, you can have some wheat. But not too much. Just enough for your crowns and your games. Wheat is expensive, you know. I need to sell most of it to the truck driver. He will give me money for it. And I need money to buy seeds and tools and food and clothes and other things for the farm," the farmer says. + +"Thank you, farmer. We understand. We will only take a little bit of wheat. And we will be careful not to break it or waste it. We will mind the wheat, too," Ben says. + +The farmer smiles and gives them a handful of wheat stems each. Sara and Ben thank him again and run back to the field. They make their crowns and play happily in the wheat. They mind the wheat and they mind the farmer. They are good friends. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play in the sand. They made castles and tunnels and bridges with their buckets and shovels. One day, they saw a big green spot in the middle of the sand. They ran to see what it was. + +It was an oasis, a place with water and trees and flowers. Sara and Ben were very happy. They drank some water and ate some fruits. They saw some birds and butterflies and fish. They said, "This is a perfect place. We want to stay here forever." + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck that came to dig the sand. The truck did not see the oasis. It was going to destroy it. Sara and Ben were scared. They did not want to lose their perfect place. + +They ran to the truck and waved their arms. They shouted, "Stop, stop, stop!" The truck driver saw them and stopped. He got out and asked, "What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids." + +Sara and Ben said, "This is an oasis. It is a place with water and trees and flowers. It is a perfect place. Please do not destroy it. It is good for the sand and the animals and the people." + +The truck driver looked at the oasis. He saw how beautiful and precious it was. He felt sorry for what he was going to do. He said, "You are right. This is an oasis. It is a perfect place. I will not destroy it. I will tell the other trucks to go away." + +Sara and Ben were very happy. They thanked the truck driver. They gave him a hug and a kiss. The truck driver smiled and said, "You are very brave and kind. You saved the oasis. You are good friends." + +Sara and Ben went back to the oasis. They played some more and then went home. They learned that some things are more important than others. They learned to love and protect the nature. They learned that a kiss can make a difference. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the sand. They made castles and bridges and tunnels. They had fun with their toys and buckets. But one day, a big boy came and kicked their sand. He laughed and said mean things. + +"Quit it!" Ben shouted. "This is our sand! Go away!" + +The big boy did not quit. He kicked more sand and broke their castles. He took their toys and buckets. He threw them far away. He was very mean and weird. + +Mia started to cry. She was sad and scared. She wanted her toys and buckets back. She wanted the big boy to stop. + +"Help!" Mia cried. "Help us, please!" + +But no one came to help. Ben and Mia were alone. They had no sand, no toys, no buckets. They had no fun. They had a bad day. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a small leather bag that she liked very much. She put some stones and coins in it and pretended it was her treasure. Ben had a big plastic truck that he drove around the carpet. + +"Look at my treasure, Ben!" Lily said, holding up her bag. "It is very heavy. It weighs a lot!" + +Ben looked at her bag and laughed. "That is not a treasure, Lily. That is a silly bag. It is very small. It does not weigh a lot. My truck is a treasure. It is very big. It weighs more than your bag!" + +Lily felt angry. She did not like Ben's words. She thought her bag was a treasure. She wanted to prove him wrong. She ran to the kitchen and found the scale. She put her bag on the scale and read the number. It said five. + +"See, Ben!" Lily shouted, pointing at the scale. "My bag weighs five! That is a lot!" + +Ben followed her to the kitchen. He saw the scale and the bag. He did not believe her. He grabbed his truck and put it on the scale. It said ten. + +"Ha, Lily!" Ben said, smiling. "My truck weighs ten! That is more than your bag! My truck is a better treasure!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not like Ben's smile. She thought he was mean. She wanted to make him stop. She pushed his truck off the scale. It fell on the floor and broke. + +"Hey, Lily!" Ben cried, looking at his truck. "You broke my truck! That was my treasure! You are a bad girl!" + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted their mom. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the backyard. They liked to build things with screws and planks. They made a house, a car, and a robot. They were very proud of their work. + +But then, a big dog came running from the street. It barked loudly and jumped over the fence. It wanted to play with the toys, too. It knocked over the house and the car with its paws. It grabbed the robot with its teeth and shook it hard. + +Lila and Ben were scared. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. "Mom, mom, help us! The dog is ruining our toys!" they cried. + +Mom saw the dog and got up. She grabbed a broom and walked towards the backyard. She shouted at the dog, "Go away, you bad dog! Leave the toys alone!" + +The dog heard mom and dropped the robot. It looked at mom and growled. It did not want to go away. It was a tough dog. + +But mom was tougher. She waved the broom and hit the dog on the nose. The dog yelped and ran away. It jumped over the fence and disappeared. + +Mom put down the broom and hugged Lila and Ben. "Don't worry, my darlings. I'm here to protect you. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Lila and Ben nodded. They were happy that mom saved them. They thanked her and gave her a kiss. Then they went to check on their toys. The house and the car were broken, but the robot was still okay. They fixed it with some more screws and planks. They decided to play with it inside, where the dog could not find them. They were very smart. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to go near it and feel the water. + +"Let's go, Sue!" Tom said. "It looks fun!" + +"But Mom said we have to stay dry," Sue said. "She will be mad if we get wet." + +Tom did not listen. He ran to the fountain and put his hand in the water. It was cold and nice. He laughed and splashed the water. + +Sue followed him. She did not want to be alone. She also put her hand in the water. It was cold and nice. She laughed and splashed the water. + +They did not see a man who was watching them. He was wealthy and wore a suit and a hat. He did not like children who played in the fountain. He said it was his fountain and he made the law. He was angry and mean. + +He walked to Tom and Sue and shouted at them. "Hey, you! Get out of my fountain! You are breaking the law! You are making the water dirty!" + +Tom and Sue were scared. They did not know the man or the law. They did not want to make the water dirty. They ran away from the fountain and looked for Mom. + +Mom was sitting on a bench and reading a book. She saw Tom and Sue running to her. They were wet and sad. + +"What happened, my loves?" Mom asked. "Why are you wet and sad?" + +Tom and Sue told Mom what happened. They told her about the fountain and the water and the man and the law. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You did nothing wrong. The fountain is for everyone to enjoy. The man is not the law. He is just a bully who thinks he owns everything. He is wealthy, but he is not happy. You are not wealthy, but you are happy. You have each other and me and the water and the sun and the park. You are rich in love and joy." + +Tom and Sue smiled and hugged Mom. They felt better. They did not care about the man or the law. They cared about Mom and each other and the water and the sun and the park. They were happy and dry. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they decide to perform a show for their moms and dads. They make a stage with chairs and a blanket. They wear silly hats and costumes. They are very excited. + +They start their show. They sing a song about their country. They wave flags and dance. They say funny things and make jokes. Their moms and dads clap and laugh. Lily and Ben are happy. + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog runs into the yard. He sees the stage and the flags. He thinks they are toys. He jumps on the stage and grabs a flag. He pulls and tears it. He barks and growls. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They scream and run away. The dog chases them. Their moms and dads try to stop the dog. They shout and wave their arms. But the dog is too fast and strong. + +The dog catches Lily and Ben. He bites them. He hurts them. They cry and bleed. Their moms and dads come and help them. They take them to the doctor. The doctor gives them medicine and bandages. He says they will be okay. + +But Lily and Ben are sad. Their show is ruined. Their flags are broken. Their costumes are dirty. Their hats are gone. They don't want to perform anymore. They don't want to play with the dog. They don't want to be silly. They just want to go home. +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They see a big pan on the stove. Sara wants to see what is inside the pan. + +"Let me look, let me look!" Sara says. She tries to reach the pan, but it is too high. She pulls a chair and climbs on it. + +"Be careful, Sara!" Tom says. He is afraid that Sara will fall. He holds the chair with his hands. + +Sara lifts the lid of the pan. She sees some soup. It smells good. She wants to taste it. She takes a spoon and dips it in the soup. + +"Yum, yum!" Sara says. She puts the spoon in her mouth. + +"Ow, ow!" Sara says. She spits out the soup. It is very hot. It burns her tongue. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom says. He is worried about Sara. He helps her get down from the chair. + +Sara cries. She holds her tongue with her fingers. She runs to the sink and drinks some water. + +"Sorry, Sara!" Tom says. He hugs Sara. He feels sorry for her. + +"It's okay, Tom!" Sara says. She stops crying. She smiles at Tom. + +"Let's play something else!" Sara says. She takes Tom's hand and leads him to the living room. + +They see a big box on the floor. It is full of toys. They want to play with the toys. + +They sit on the floor and open the box. They find some dolls, some cars, some books and some puzzles. They are happy. They play with the toys. + +They forget about the pan and the soup. They have fun. They are friends. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys in their room, but they also liked to find new things to play with. Sometimes they went to the garage and looked for junk. Junk was old stuff that Mom and Dad did not want anymore. + +One day, they found a big box of junk in the garage. They opened it and saw many things inside. There was a broken lamp, a torn book, a rusty can, and a dirty sock. Sam and Mia thought they could make something fun with the junk. They took the junk to their room and started to build. + +They used the lamp as a rocket, the book as a castle, the can as a drum, and the sock as a puppet. They had a lot of fun making noises and stories with their junk. They did not hear Mom calling them for lunch. + +Mom came to their room and saw the mess. She was very angry. She said, "What are you doing with this junk? This is terrible! You have to clean up your room right now!" She took away the junk and threw it in the trash. + +Sam and Mia were very sad. They did not understand why Mom was so mad. They liked their junk. They frown and cry. They did not want to eat lunch. They wanted their junk back. They thought Mom was terrible. +Penny loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes to read about animals, and colors, and shapes. She reads every day before she sleeps. + +One day, Penny sees a new book on the shelf. It is big and shiny. It has a picture of a castle on the cover. Penny wants to read it. She takes the book and goes to her bed. + +But when she opens the book, she hears a voice. It is a loud and angry voice. It says, "Who are you? Why are you reading my book? This is my book, not yours!" + +Penny is scared. She looks around. She sees a small man with a long beard and a pointy hat. He is sitting on the book. He is a nosy wizard. He does not like anyone to read his book. + +"Please, Mr. Wizard, I am sorry. I did not know this was your book. I just wanted to read it. I like books. Can I read it with you?" Penny asks. + +The wizard looks at Penny. He sees that she is a little girl. He sees that she is not mean. He sees that she likes books. He thinks for a moment. Then he says, "Well, maybe you can. But you have to be quiet and listen. This is a very special book. It has magic and secrets. Do you want to hear them?" + +Penny nods. She is curious. She wants to hear the magic and secrets. She says, "Yes, please, Mr. Wizard. I want to hear them. Can we be friends?" + +The wizard smiles. He says, "Yes, we can be friends. But only if you promise to keep my book safe. And to share it with no one else. Do you promise?" + +Penny promises. She says, "I promise, Mr. Wizard. I will keep your book safe. And I will share it with no one else. Thank you for letting me read it with you." + +The wizard says, "You are welcome, Penny. Now, let us begin. The first chapter is called 'The Dragon and the Princess'. Are you ready?" + +Penny says, "I am ready, Mr. Wizard. Let us begin." + +And so they begin to read the book together. And they have a lot of fun. And they learn a lot of things. And they become good friends. And Penny is happy. And the wizard is happy. And the book is happy. And they all live happily ever after. The end. +Tom and Lily were excited to see the big show. They had never seen so many lights and sounds and people. They held their mom's hand and walked to their seats. They saw a big stage with a red curtain and a lot of cords. + +The show started and they saw clowns and dancers and animals. They clapped and laughed and cheered. They liked the show very much. They wanted to see more. + +But then something bad happened. One of the cords on the stage got loose and fell down. It hit one of the clowns on the head. The clown fell down and did not get up. The other clowns and the people on the stage stopped and looked. They were scared and sad. The lights went off and the music stopped. The people in the seats were quiet and worried. + +Tom and Lily did not understand what happened. They were confused and scared too. They did not clap or laugh or cheer anymore. They wanted to go home. They hugged their mom and cried. They did not like the show anymore. They wished they had never seen it. +Tom and Lily were very enthusiastic to gather some flowers for their mom. They ran outside and looked for the prettiest ones they could find. They saw yellow, pink, purple and white flowers in the garden. They picked some of each and held them in their hands. + +"Look, Tom, these are so beautiful!" Lily said, smiling. "Mom will love them!" + +"Yes, she will!" Tom agreed. "Let's go show her!" + +They ran back to the house, where their mom was setting the table for lunch. They wanted to surprise her with their gift. + +"Mom, mom, look what we have for you!" they shouted, as they entered the kitchen. + +But their mom did not look happy. She looked angry and scared. She saw the flowers in their hands and gasped. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done?" she cried. "These are not flowers, these are weeds! They are poisonous and dangerous! You could have gotten sick or hurt!" + +She quickly took the weeds from their hands and threw them in the trash. She washed their hands with soap and water and checked them for any signs of harm. + +Tom and Lily did not understand. They thought they had done something nice for their mom. They felt sad and confused. They did not know why their mom was so mad at them. They started to cry. + +They did not have a good lunch. They did not have a good day. They did not want to gather flowers ever again. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a modern doll that can talk and sing. Tom has a value car that he got from a garage sale. He likes to make it zoom and crash. + +"Look at my doll, Tom. She is so modern and pretty. She can say 'I love you' and 'Let's be friends'. Do you want to hear?" Lily asks. + +"No, thank you. I like my car better. It is fast and strong. It can go over bumps and hills. Do you want to see?" Tom replies. + +"OK, show me. But be careful. Don't break anything." Lily says. + +Tom makes his car zoom across the floor. He pretends there are obstacles and dangers. He makes loud noises with his mouth. He is having fun. But then, he makes a mistake. He zooms his car too close to the coffee table. He crashes into a glass of juice. The juice spills all over the table and the floor. And on his car. + +"Oh no! Look what you did, Tom. You made a big mess. And your car is all wet and sticky. You have to wash it now." Lily scolds. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. How do I wash it?" Tom asks. + +"You have to take it to the sink. And use soap and water. And a cloth. And dry it well. Or it will get rusty and ugly. And you will lose your value car." Lily explains. + +"OK, I will do that. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And your doll is nice too. Maybe we can play together later." Tom says. + +He picks up his car and goes to the sink. He washes it carefully. He hopes it will still work. He doesn't want to lose his value car. He likes it a lot. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near the river. There was a big bridge over the river. Lily and Ben liked to run on the bridge and look at the water and the fish. + +One day, they saw a little duck on the bridge. The duck was lost and scared. It quacked and quacked, but no one helped it. Lily and Ben felt sorry for the duck. They wanted to help it find its family. + +"Come on, duck, we will protect you," Lily said. She picked up the duck and hugged it. Ben followed her. They walked on the bridge, looking for other ducks. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck was driving very fast on the bridge. It did not see Lily and Ben and the duck. It was coming closer and closer. + +"Look out, Lily!" Ben shouted. He pushed Lily and the duck to the side of the bridge. The truck zoomed past them, making a lot of wind and dust. Lily and Ben and the duck were safe, but they were very scared. + +"Thank you, Ben, you saved us!" Lily said. She gave Ben a big hug. The duck quacked happily. It saw its family on the other side of the river. It waddled to them and joined them. + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the duck. They were proud of themselves. They had helped a friend in need. They had learned to be brave and kind. They had learned to protect each other. They smiled and held hands. They were still best friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a small table and two chairs. They pretend to have tea and cake. + +"Ben, come here. I have tea for you," Anna says. She holds a cup and a plate. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are very clever. You make good tea," Ben says. He takes the cup and the plate. He pretends to drink and eat. + +Anna smiles. She likes to make Ben happy. She has another cup and plate for herself. She pretends to drink and eat too. + +They talk and laugh. They have fun. They are good friends. They love to play tea. +Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. Sam wants to go near it, but Mia is scared. + +"Come on, Mia, let's see what's in there!" Sam urges. He runs to the hole and looks inside. + +"No, Sam, don't! It could be a trap!" Mia shouts. She follows him and tries to pull him back. + +But it is too late. Sam slips and falls into the hole. He lands on something soft and fluffy. He hears a loud roar. + +"Help! Help! There's a bear in here!" Sam cries. He is very afraid. + +Mia hears him and runs to the hole. She sees a big, brown bear with a broken leg. It is lying on a pile of leaves and sticks. It looks sad and hurt. + +"Sam, are you okay?" Mia calls. She is very brave. + +"I'm okay, but the bear is angry!" Sam says. He is very sorry. + +The bear growls and tries to get up, but it can't. It is stuck in the trap. It is very hungry. + +"Maybe we can help the bear," Mia says. She has an idea. + +She runs to the bench and gets her sandwich. She throws it into the hole. The bear smells it and eats it. It is very thankful. + +"Thank you, little girl," the bear says. It is very friendly. + +"You're welcome, Mr. Bear," Mia says. She is very happy. + +"Can you help me get out of here?" Sam asks. He is very hopeful. + +"Of course, little boy," the bear says. It is very gentle. + +It lifts Sam with its paw and puts him on the edge of the hole. Sam climbs out and hugs Mia. They are very relieved. + +"Thank you, Mr. Bear," Sam says. He is very grateful. + +"You're welcome, little boy," the bear says. It is very proud. + +"Can we be your friends?" Mia asks. She is very curious. + +"Sure, you can be my friends," the bear says. It is very lonely. + +"Yay, we have a new friend!" Sam and Mia say. They are very excited. + +They wave goodbye to the bear and run to tell their mom. They are very happy. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud sound. It was a big truck that was coming to the park. The truck was very fast and very noisy. It made Tom and Lily scared. + +"Look, Lily, a truck!" Tom said. "We have to hurry and get out of the way!" + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted to get the ball that was near the road. She ran to the ball and did not look at the truck. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Tom shouted. "The truck is coming! It is serious!" + +Tom was right. The truck was very close to Lily. It could hit her and hurt her. Tom was very worried. He ran to Lily and pulled her away from the road. He saved her from the truck. + +Lily was very sorry. She hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I was silly and did not listen to you. I will not do that again." + +Tom hugged Lily back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. I am glad you are safe. We have to be careful and watch the road. We have to listen to each other." + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to hurry and get out of the way when they hear a loud sound. They learned to listen to each other and be serious when it is important. They learned to be brave and help each other. They played in the park again, but they stayed away from the road. They had a lot of fun. +Sara and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. But they also saw something that looked like a big balloon with long strings. It was a jellyfish. + +"Look, mom, a jellyfish!" Sara said, pointing at the water. + +"Be careful, Sara, don't touch it. Jellyfish can sting you and it hurts a lot," mom said. + +"Why do they sting, mom?" Ben asked. + +"They sting to protect themselves or to catch their food. They have tiny needles in their strings that can make you feel bad," mom explained. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They did not want to feel bad. They decided to stay away from the jellyfish and play with their buckets and shovels instead. They made a big castle with a moat and a bridge. They were very proud of their castle. + +But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. Sara and Ben were sad. They had worked hard on their castle. They wanted to make another one. + +"Let's make another castle, Ben. We can make it bigger and better," Sara said. + +"OK, Sara. But let's make it farther from the water. The waves are too strong," Ben said. + +They moved to a new spot and started to make another castle. They spread the sand with their hands and used their buckets and shovels to make towers and walls. They were having fun. + +But then, they saw something that made them stop. It was the jellyfish. It had been carried by the wave and landed on the sand near their castle. It was still moving its strings. It looked like it wanted to sting their castle. + +"Go away, jellyfish! This is our castle!" Sara shouted. + +"Yeah, go away! You can't sting our castle!" Ben shouted. + +But the jellyfish did not listen. It was persistent. It kept moving its strings and trying to reach their castle. Sara and Ben were scared. They did not want their castle to be stung. They did not want to be stung either. + +They ran to their mom and dad and told them about the jellyfish. Mom and dad came to see. They saw the jellyfish on the sand. They knew it was not safe. + +"Good job, Sara and Ben, for staying away from the jellyfish. It can still sting even on the sand. We need to move it back to the water," dad said. + +He took a big stick and carefully lifted the jellyfish with it. He carried it to the water and let it go. The jellyfish floated away. It did not bother Sara and Ben anymore. + +Sara and Ben were happy. They thanked their dad for saving their castle. They went back to their spot and finished their castle. They put shells and seaweed on it to make it look pretty. They hoped the jellyfish would not come back. They enjoyed the rest of their day at the beach. +Tom was a hero. He liked to help people and animals. He was brave and kind. One day, he saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running. Some people were scared of the dog. They thought the dog was bad. + +But Tom knew the dog was harmless. He had seen the dog before. The dog was lost and sad. He wanted to find his home. Tom walked to the dog slowly. He talked to the dog softly. He gave the dog a treat. The dog stopped barking and running. He wagged his tail and licked Tom's hand. + +Tom looked at the dog's collar. He saw a name and a phone number. He called the number with his mom's phone. The dog's owner answered. He was happy and thankful. He said he would come to the park soon. Tom and the dog sat on a bench and waited. They relaxed and cuddled. Tom was a hero. He made the dog and the owner happy. He was not scared of the dog. He was a friend. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she saw a lizard on a rock. It was green and had a long tail. Lily wanted to touch it. + +"Hello, lizard," she said. "Can I be your friend?" + +The lizard looked at Lily. It was an intelligent lizard. It knew that Lily was not a danger, but it did not want to be bothered. + +"No, thank you," it said. "I like to be alone. Please go away." + +Lily was surprised. She did not know that lizards could talk. She felt sad. She wanted to play with the lizard. + +"But why?" she asked. "Don't you like me?" + +The lizard sighed. It did not want to hurt Lily's feelings, but it also did not want to yield to her wishes. + +"I'm sure you are a nice girl, but I have a different way of life. I like to sunbathe, hunt, and sleep. I don't like to talk, play, or cuddle. You see, we are very different. You should find another friend who is more like you." + +Lily thought about what the lizard said. She realized that he was right. She did not like to sunbathe, hunt, or sleep. She liked to talk, play, and cuddle. She did not want to make the lizard unhappy. + +"OK, I understand," she said. "I'm sorry for bothering you. Goodbye, lizard." + +"Goodbye, girl," the lizard said. + +Lily left the lizard alone. She went to look for another friend. She saw a butterfly on a flower. It was colorful and had wings. Lily smiled. She liked butterflies. Maybe the butterfly would like to be her friend. She ran towards it. +Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play with blocks, cars and dolls. Sometimes they also liked to tease each other. They would make funny faces, hide each other's toys or tickle each other. + +One day, they were playing in the garden. Mia had a light blue dress and Leo had a light green shirt. They saw a butterfly with light yellow wings. They wanted to catch it. They ran after it, laughing and shouting. + +"Look, Mia, it's so pretty!" Leo said. + +"I want to touch it!" Mia said. + +They chased the butterfly until it flew away. Then they saw a big flower. It was light pink and smelled nice. They went closer to see it. + +"Wow, it's so big!" Mia said. + +"Maybe it's a fairy's house!" Leo said. + +They looked inside the flower. They saw a bee. It was black and yellow and had a stinger. They got scared. + +"Uh-oh, it's a bee!" Leo said. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Mia said. + +They ran away from the flower. The bee followed them. It buzzed loudly. They screamed. + +"Help, help, it's a bee!" Leo said. + +"Go away, go away, it's a bee!" Mia said. + +They ran to the house. They slammed the door. The bee could not get in. They were safe. + +They hugged each other. They were still scared. They were silent. They did not want to tease each other anymore. They wanted to be nice. + +"Sorry, Mia, I did not mean to scare you," Leo said. + +"Sorry, Leo, I did not mean to scare you, too," Mia said. + +They smiled at each other. They were still best friends. They liked to play with blocks, cars and dolls. Sometimes they also liked to tease each other. But not with bees. Bees were not fun. Bees were scary. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy bow and arrow. They have a big box of arrows, but some are clean and some are dirty. Tom always wants the clean arrows, and Sam gets the dirty ones. + +One day, they are playing in the yard. Tom shoots his clean arrows at a tree. Sam shoots his dirty arrows at a can. Tom sees that Sam has one clean arrow left. He runs to Sam and says, "Give me that clean arrow! It is mine!" + +Sam says, "No, it is not! You have many clean arrows. This is my last one. Let me play with it!" + +Tom is angry. He demands, "Give it to me now! Or I will hit you!" + +Sam is scared. He says, "No, please, don't hit me! Go away!" + +Tom does not listen. He grabs the clean arrow from Sam's hand. He pushes Sam to the ground. He raises the arrow to hit Sam. + +But then, something bad happens. The arrow slips from Tom's hand. It flies in the air. It comes down fast. It hits Tom in the eye. + +Tom screams. He feels a lot of pain. He drops the arrow. He covers his eye with his hand. He cries. + +Sam gets up. He sees Tom's eye. He is shocked. He says, "Oh no, Tom! I am sorry! Are you okay?" + +But Tom does not answer. He keeps crying. He cannot see. He is hurt. + +Sam runs to the house. He calls for Mom. He says, "Mom, Mom, come quick! Tom is hurt! He has an arrow in his eye!" + +Mom hears Sam. She is scared. She runs to the yard. She sees Tom. She is sad. She says, "Oh, Tom, what have you done? You are in trouble!" + +She picks up Tom. She takes him to the car. She says, "We have to go to the hospital. Maybe they can help you." + +She drives away with Tom. Sam stays in the yard. He looks at the arrow. He feels bad. He wishes he had not played with the arrow. He wishes he had shared with Tom. He wishes Tom was not hurt. He is sorry. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play music. They had a guitar, a drum and a microphone in their garage. They wanted to perform a song for their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen. + +"Let's practice our song," Sam said. He picked up the guitar and strummed it. "You sing, Tom." + +Tom grabbed the microphone and sang.

They all gazed at Tim and his big, ugly thumb, but this time they were not making fun of him. They were proud of him. Because of his big thumb, Tim was able to save the cat.

She saw a seal playing in the water. The seal looked very silly as it splashed around. Lucy thought it was funny and wanted to play with the seal too. + +Lucy called out to the seal, "Hey, silly seal! Do you want to play with me?" The seal looked at Lucy and nodded its head.

They were going to visit grandma. Ann saw a big train and was very excited. She wanted to learn about trains, so she asked her mom, "Mom, can you teach me about trains?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Ann. Trains help people go from one place to another.

She did not like to talk to other kids. When Lily saw Zara, she smiled and said, "Hi, Zara! You are pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Zara was happy to hear that. She nodded her head and started to follow Lily and her mom. They walked around the zoo, looking at the other animals. Zara felt brave with her new friend. + +Lily and Zara played together all day.

She did not allow him to give the broccoli to the cat. + +Tom was sad. He did not want to eat the broccoli. So, he hid it under the table. But Snow found the broccoli and ate it. Snow got sick from eating the broccoli. Tom was sad because Snow was sick, and he knew he should have listened to his mom. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big tube that they used as a tunnel for their cars and trains. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm a fast car!"

There are sharp pieces of glass and sticky jam. You could get hurt. You have to stay away from here, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom," Lily and Ben said. + +They felt helpless. They wanted to help their mom, but they couldn't. They went back to the living room and played with their toys quietly, hoping their mom would be done soon.

They wrote "We love you, Mom" with their best letters. They hoped their mom would like it and feel better. +Ben loved his teddy bear. He called him Timmy. Timmy was brown and soft and had a red bow. Ben took Timmy everywhere. He hugged him at night and played with him in the day. + +One day, Ben's mom said they had to go to the store. Ben wanted to bring Timmy, but mom said no. She said Timmy was too dirty and needed a wash. Ben was sad, but he left Timmy on his bed. + +At the store, mom bought Ben a new toy. It was a blue robot. It had lights and sounds and buttons. Mom said it was better than Timmy. She said Ben should replace Timmy with the robot. Ben looked at the robot. It was shiny and cool, but it was not Timmy. + +Ben said, "No, thank you, mom. I don't want the robot. I want Timmy. Timmy is my friend. He has a patch on his ear from when I bit him. He is loyal. He never leaves me. I love Timmy." + +Mom smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know you loved Timmy so much. You can keep Timmy. He is a good teddy bear. And you can have the robot too. You can play with both of them. They can be friends too." + +Ben was happy. He thanked mom and took the robot. He said, "Hello, robot. I'm Ben. This is Timmy. He is my best friend.

"It has three sides and three corners." + +"That is not a triangle!" Tom said. "That is a silly shape. A triangle has four sides and four corners, like my square." + +Lily felt sad. She knew Tom was wrong. She had learned about triangles in school. But Tom was older and bigger than her. He always said he knew everything. + +"No, you are ignorant!" Lily said. "A triangle has three sides and three corners. A square has four sides and four corners. You are making a mistake." + +Tom got angry. He did not like to be called ignorant. He thought he was smart. He grabbed Lily's triangle and threw it away. Then he pushed Lily to the ground. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "That hurts! You are mean!" + +Tom did not care. He laughed and said, "You are stupid! You do not know anything. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lily ran away, crying. She looked for her triangle, but she could not find it. She wished Tom would be nice to her.

I will fight you." + +Sue growls and pretends to be a dragon. She chases Tim around the yard. Tim swings the stick and says, "Take that, dragon. You cannot catch me." + +They play and play until they hear Mom call them. "Tim, Sue, time to come in. It is getting dark. You need to wash up and eat dinner." + +They drop the stick and run to Mom.

They say they are naughty and wasteful. They take them away from the tap and the park. They say they will punish them. They will not give them snacks or stories or hugs.

It hurt a lot. Anna cried out loud. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She saw the bee and the red spot on Anna's finger. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm sorry, honey. The bee was just trying to protect itself. You should not hold bees. They can sting you and make you hurt. Bees are good for flowers, but not for holding." + +Anna nodded and sniffled.

We need to buy some food and some clothes. You can sing in the car and in the store, but you have to be quiet and wise. Do you know what wise means?" + +Anna thinks for a moment.

She says, "Wise means that I listen and learn and do what you say." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's right, Anna. You are a very wise girl. Now, let's go to the store and then we can come back and sing some more." + +Anna nods and takes mom's hand. She still wants to stay and sing, but she also wants to be wise and help mom.

It was Tom's hair. She recognized it. It was brown and curly, just like hers. She smiled and said, "I found you, Tom!" She put the mug down and pulled Tom out of his hiding spot. He was behind the coffee machine, on a small stool. He looked surprised and said, "How did you find me, Lily? I was so hidden!" + +Lily giggled and said, "I saw your hair, silly. And I smelled the coffee. You should not drink coffee, Tom. It is for grown-ups." Tom shrugged and said, "I did not drink it, Lily. I just used it to hide. It was a good idea, right?" Lily nodded and said, "It was a good idea, Tom. But I was a better seeker. You are it now. Go count to ten." Tom agreed and went to count. Lily ran to find a new place to hide. She hoped Tom would not find her so fast. She liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. +Lily was a princess who liked to play with her toys. She had a crown that was shiny and pretty. She wore it on her head when she pretended to be a queen. She also had a soft bear that was brown and fuzzy. She hugged it when she felt sad or sleepy. + +One day, Lily was playing with her crown and her bear in her room. She put the crown on the bear and said, "You are the king of the toys, Mr. Bear. You are very brave and kind." She smiled and kissed the bear on the nose. + +But then, Lily felt a tickle in her nose. She rubbed it with her hand, but it did not go away. She felt another tickle, and then another. She opened her mouth and said, "Ah... ah... ah..." She was going to sneeze! + +She tried to cover her nose with her hand, but it was too late. She sneezed very loud and very hard. "Achoo!" She sneezed so hard that her crown flew off her head and landed on the floor. Her bear also flew out of her arms and landed on the bed. + +Lily was surprised and scared. She looked at her crown and her bear and said, "Oh no! I'm sorry, Mr. Bear. I'm sorry, crown. I did not mean to sneeze you away." She felt tears in her eyes. She wanted to hug her bear and wear her crown again. + +She got up from the floor and ran to her bed. She picked up her bear and hugged it tight. She said, "I love you, Mr. Bear. You are still the king of the toys. You are still brave and kind." She kissed the bear on the nose again. + +She looked at her crown and said, "I love you, too, crown. You are still shiny and pretty. You are still my favorite thing to wear." She reached for the crown and put it back on her head. + +She felt happy and proud. She smiled and said, "I am a princess again. I am a princess who sneezes. And that's okay." She giggled and played with her crown and her bear. She did not feel the tickle in her nose anymore. She felt only joy. +Sam was a stubborn boy. He did not like to share his toys or listen to his mom. One day, he found a big shovel in the garage. He wanted to dig a hole in the backyard and find treasure. He did not ask his mom if he could use the shovel. He just took it and ran outside. + +He dug and dug and dug. He made a big hole in the ground. He did not find any treasure, but he did not stop digging. He wanted to go deeper and deeper. He did not hear his mom calling him for lunch. He did not see the dark clouds in the sky. He did not notice the hole was getting too big and too deep. + +Suddenly, the ground under him gave way. He fell into the hole with a thud. He was scared and hurt. He cried for help, but no one heard him. He was underground and alone. He wished he had listened to his mom and shared his toys. He wished he had not been so stubborn. + +His mom was looking for him. She saw the shovel and the hole in the backyard. She was worried and angry. She ran to the hole and looked down. She saw Sam at the bottom, covered in dirt and tears. She called his name and told him to stay calm. She ran to get a rope and a ladder. She brought them to the hole and threw the rope down. She told Sam to grab the rope and climb up. She helped him out of the hole and hugged him. She was glad he was safe, but she was also very mad. + +She scolded him for taking the shovel without asking, for digging a dangerous hole, and for not answering her calls. She told him he could have been hurt or lost. She told him he had to learn to be more careful and respectful. She told him he had to apologize and clean up the mess. She told him he had to share his toys with his sister and play nicely. She told him he had to be less stubborn and more obedient. + +Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry and he hugged his mom. He said he loved her and he would try to be better. He learned his lesson. He learned that being stubborn can lead to trouble and that being obedient can lead to happiness. He learned that his mom loved him and wanted the best for him. He learned that digging holes is not as fun as finding treasure. +Lily and Ben liked to play near the pond. They saw frogs, ducks and fish in the water. They also saw a big boat that someone left on the shore. Lily and Ben wanted to ride the boat. They thought it would be incredible. + +They pushed the boat into the pond. They climbed inside and used sticks to row. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. They had a lot of fun. But they did not see the hole in the boat. Water started to come in. The boat began to sink. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They shouted for help. They tried to work together to plug the hole. But it was too late. The boat went under the water. Lily and Ben fell into the pond. They did not know how to swim. They splashed and cried. No one heard them. No one came to save them. Lily and Ben drowned in the pond. It was a very bad ending. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play together and share their toys. They had a big dream. They wanted to marry when they grew up. They made a pinky promise to each other. + +One day, a new girl came to their school. Her name was Zoe. She had long hair and pretty dresses. She was very nice to Ben. She gave him candy and stickers. She asked him to play with her. Ben liked Zoe. He forgot about Lily and his promise. + +Lily was sad. She saw Ben and Zoe holding hands and laughing. She felt angry and hurt. She wanted to make Ben remember her. She had a naughty idea. She took Zoe's backpack and hid it in the trash. She hoped Zoe would cry and Ben would not like her anymore. + +But her plan did not work. Zoe did not cry. She was very brave and smart. She told the teacher what happened. The teacher found her backpack and scolded Lily. She made Lily say sorry to Zoe and Ben. She also called Lily's mom and dad. + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She had lost her friend and her dream. She had been very naughty and mean. She wished she had been nice and loyal. But it was too late. Ben and Zoe did not want to play with her anymore. They married when they grew up and lived happily ever after. Lily was alone and unhappy. She had no friends and no dreams. The end. +Anna loved the sea. She liked to swim and splash and play with the waves. One day, she saw a big gray fish with a long nose and a smile. It was a dolphin. The dolphin came close to Anna and said hello. + +"Hello, dolphin. You are very pretty. Can I play with you?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. The sea is not always safe. There are big sharks and mean people who can hurt us. Follow me and I will show you something special." The dolphin said. + +Anna followed the dolphin. They swam far away from the shore. The dolphin took Anna to a big rock with many colors and shapes. It was an ancient coral reef. The dolphin said it was very old and very beautiful. He said many fish and animals lived there. + +"Wow, this is amazing. I have never seen anything like this. Can we stay here and play?" Anna said. + +"Yes, we can. But you have to drink some water first. The sea water is salty and bad for you. It can make you sick. Here, I have a bottle of fresh water for you. Drink some and then we can play." The dolphin said. + +He gave Anna a bottle of water. Anna drank some and thanked the dolphin. She felt better. She and the dolphin played with the coral and the fish. They had a lot of fun. They became good friends. + +The moral of the story is: The sea is a wonderful place, but also a dangerous one. We should respect and protect it. We should also listen to our friends who know more than us and can help us. And we should always drink fresh water when we are thirsty. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow dog. The dog is smelly. He has mud and dirt on his fur. He looks sad. + +Tom and Mia want to help the dog. They go to the dog and say hello. The dog wags his tail. He likes Tom and Mia. They pet the dog and talk to him. They ask him his name and where he lives. + +The dog barks. He does not have a name or a home. He is lost. He is hungry and thirsty. He wants a family. + +Tom and Mia feel sorry for the dog. They decide to take him to their house. They have a big yard and a bowl of water. They also have some dog food. They think their mom and dad will like the dog. + +They hold the dog's leash and walk to their house. The dog follows them. He is happy. He hopes Tom and Mia will be his new family. He does not mind being smelly. He just wants to be loved. +Sara and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big pool of water and some toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. But the sun is hot and soon the water is gone. Sara and Ben are wet and cold. + +"Mommy, mommy, we need more water!" Sara calls. + +Mommy comes out and sees the empty pool and the wet children. She smiles and says, "No more water, my loves. It's time to dry off and go inside. You don't want to catch a cold, do you?" + +Sara and Ben shake their heads. They don't like colds. They follow Mommy inside. Mommy gives them big towels and helps them dry their hair and skin. She says, "You need some lotion, too. The sun can make your skin dry and itchy. Lotion will make it soft and smooth." + +Sara and Ben nod. They like lotion. Mommy puts some lotion on their hands and rubs it on their arms and legs and faces. Sara and Ben giggle. They smell like flowers and fruits. They hug Mommy and say, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." + +Mommy hugs them back and says, "You are welcome, my loves. You are the best, too. Now, how about a story before nap time?" + +Sara and Ben cheer. They love stories. They run to their room and pick a book. They choose a book about wild animals. They want to see lions and tigers and bears. Mommy reads the book to them and shows them the pictures. Sara and Ben listen and ask questions. They learn about the wild animals and their habitats. They imagine they are in the jungle or the savanna or the forest. They roar and growl and snort. + +Mommy smiles and says, "You are very wild, my loves. But you are also very sweet. Now, it's time to sleep. Close your eyes and dream of wild adventures." + +Sara and Ben close their eyes and cuddle with Mommy. They say, "We love you, Mommy. And we love wild animals, too." + +Mommy says, "I love you, too, my loves. And I love wild animals, too. But not as much as I love you. Sweet dreams." + +Sara and Ben fall asleep. They dream of wild animals and water and lotion and Mommy. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were excited to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. They put on their costumes and grabbed their bags. Anna was a fairy and Ben was a pirate. They said bye to their mom and dad and went outside. + +They knocked on many doors and got lots of candy. They said thank you and smiled. They saw other kids in funny costumes. They had fun. + +But then they came to a dark and scary house. It had a big sign that said "Beware of the Witch". Anna and Ben felt afraid. They wanted to go to another house. But they saw a light in the window and heard a voice. + +"Come in, come in, little ones. I have a treat for you." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They wondered if they should go in or run away. They decided to be brave and accept the invitation. They walked up the stairs and opened the door. + +Inside, they saw a nice old lady with a big smile. She was not a witch at all. She was their grandma. She had dressed up as a witch to surprise them. She gave them a hug and a big bowl of cookies. + +"Happy Halloween, my dears. I'm so glad you came. You have the best costumes ever." + +Anna and Ben laughed and hugged her back. They were not afraid anymore. They were happy. They ate some cookies and told her about their night. They loved their grandma. She was the best. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a bear. She liked to make them talk and have fun. One day, she saw a big yellow thing on the ground. It was a banana. She did not know what it was, but it looked good. + +She picked up the banana and peeled it. She smelled it and it smelled sweet. She wanted to eat it, but she remembered that her mom told her not to eat things from the ground. They could be dirty or dangerous. She looked around and saw a monkey in a tree. The monkey was looking at her and the banana. It made a noise and showed its teeth. + +Lily thought the monkey wanted the banana. She was not scared of the monkey. She liked animals. She wanted to be nice and share. She held out the banana and said, "Do you want this? You can have it. I accept you as my friend." + +The monkey jumped down from the tree and ran to Lily. It grabbed the banana from her hand and bit it. It was happy and made more noises. Lily smiled and reached out to pet the monkey. She thought the monkey liked her too. + +But the monkey did not like her. It was angry and greedy. It wanted the whole banana for itself. It did not want to share or be friends. It saw Lily's hand and thought it was another banana. It bit her hand hard and made her cry. It hurt a lot and blood came out. Lily dropped her toys and ran to her mom. She was sad and scared. The monkey was dangerous and mean. It took her banana and hurt her. It was not her friend. It was a bad ending. +Lily and Sam were going to fly on a big plane for the first time. They were very excited and packed their bags with their favorite toys and books. They said goodbye to their grandma and got in the car with their mom and dad. + +At the airport, they saw many people and many planes. Some planes were small and some were very big. Lily and Sam wanted to go on the biggest plane they could find. They followed their mom and dad to a gate where a lady checked their tickets and smiled at them. + +"Are you ready to fly, kids?" the lady asked. + +"Yes!" Lily and Sam said together. + +They walked through a tunnel that connected to the plane. The plane was huge and had many seats and windows. Lily and Sam found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the sky and the clouds. + +The plane started to move and make a loud noise. Lily and Sam felt the plane go faster and faster until it lifted off the ground. They gasped and clapped their hands. + +"We're flying!" Lily said. + +"It's brilliant!" Sam said. + +They watched the ground get smaller and smaller until they only saw the blue sky and the white clouds. They felt happy and amazed. + +But then, the plane hit a bump and shook a little. Lily and Sam felt scared and held each other's hands. They heard the pilot say something on the speaker. + +"Sorry, folks, we're going through some turbulence. Please stay in your seats and keep your belts on. It will be over soon." + +Lily and Sam did not know what turbulence was, but they did not like it. They felt the plane go up and down and side to side. They felt their stomachs twist and turn. They felt cold and shivered. + +"Mom, Dad, what's happening?" Lily asked. + +"Is the plane going to fall?" Sam asked. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and tried to calm them down. + +"Don't worry, sweeties, it's normal. The plane is just going through some air that is not smooth. It's like driving on a bumpy road. The plane is very strong and safe. It will not fall. It will be over soon. Just breathe and close your eyes. Think of something nice, like where we're going." + +Lily and Sam nodded and tried to do what their mom and dad said. They closed their eyes and thought of the beach and the sun and the sand. They thought of building castles and swimming in the water. They thought of eating ice cream and playing with their cousins. They felt a little better. + +Soon, the plane stopped shaking and the pilot said they were out of the turbulence. Lily and Sam opened their eyes and saw the sky was clear and bright. They felt the plane go down and saw the ground get bigger and bigger. They saw the ocean and the coast and the city. They felt the plane touch the ground and slow down. They heard the people clap and cheer. + +They had made it. They had flown on a big plane for the first time. They felt proud and happy. + +They unbuckled their belts and got their bags. They followed their mom and dad out of the plane and into the airport. They saw their aunt and uncle and their cousins waiting for them. They ran to them and hugged them. + +"Welcome, Lily and Sam!" their aunt and uncle said. + +"We're so glad you're here!" their cousins said. + +Lily and Sam smiled and said, "We're glad, too!" +Tom and Lily were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their luggage with their clothes, toys and books. They put their luggage in the car and drove to the airport. + +At the airport, they had to wait in a long line to check in their luggage. Tom and Lily were bored and hungry. They saw a candy shop nearby and asked their mom and dad if they could buy some candy. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to stay close and not wander off. + +Tom and Lily went to the candy shop and looked at all the colorful and sweet candy. They wanted to buy everything, but they only had a little money. They chose some gummy bears and some chocolate bars and paid the cashier. Then they turned around and looked for their mom and dad. + +But they could not see them. They saw many people, but not their mom and dad. They saw many luggage, but not their luggage. They felt scared and lost. They started to panic. + +"Mom! Dad! Where are you?" they shouted. + +"Help! Help! We can't find our mom and dad!" they cried. + +A kind lady heard them and came to them. She asked them what was wrong and who they were looking for. She told them not to panic and that she would help them. She took them by the hand and walked with them to the information desk. She asked the staff to make an announcement for their mom and dad. + +Soon, their mom and dad heard the announcement and ran to the information desk. They saw Tom and Lily and hugged them tightly. They were so relieved and happy to find them. They thanked the kind lady and apologized for the trouble. + +They checked in their luggage and boarded the plane. They took their seats and buckled their seat belts. They were ready to go on their trip. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that they should always listen to their mom and dad and not wander off. They learned that they should not panic and that they should ask for help if they are in trouble. They learned that there are kind people in the world who can help them. They learned that they are mighty lucky to have their mom and dad who love them. +Anna liked candy very much. She liked to eat candy every day. She liked candy more than anything else. But candy was not good for her teeth. Her teeth hurt a lot. She had to go to the dentist. + +The dentist was a nice man, but Anna was scared of him. He had a big chair and many tools. He said he had to fix Anna's teeth. He said it would not hurt, but Anna did not believe him. She cried and hid behind her mom. + +The dentist gave Anna a mask to wear. He said it would make her feel sleepy and happy. He said it was magic air. Anna did not want to wear the mask. She did not like the smell of the air. She did not like the unknown thing on her face. She tried to take it off, but her mom held her hand. + +The dentist started to work on Anna's teeth. He used a drill and a needle and a plier. Anna felt a little pain, but not too much. She felt dizzy and sleepy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of candy. She did not suffer much. + +When the dentist was done, he gave Anna a sticker and a toy. He said she was a brave girl. He said she had to brush her teeth every day and eat less candy. He said candy was bad for her teeth. Anna nodded and smiled. She thanked the dentist and hugged her mom. She still liked candy, but she liked her teeth more. She did not want to suffer again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had a long rope that they used to make a swing on a big tree. They took turns to push each other and laugh. + +One day, Lily said to Ben, "Do you want to marry me when we grow up?" Ben was surprised and did not know what to say. He liked Lily, but he did not know what marry meant. He had seen his parents kiss and hug, but he did not know if he wanted to do that with Lily. + +He said, "Maybe, but what is marry?" Lily said, "Marry is when you love someone and you live with them and you share everything. My mom and dad are married and they are happy. Don't you want to be happy with me?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked to play with Lily and he liked to share his toys and snacks with her. He did not want to make her sad. He said, "Okay, I will marry you, but only if you let me push you on the swing first." + +Lily smiled and agreed. She gave Ben a hug and a wink. She said, "You are a good friend, Ben. I love you." Ben said, "I love you too, Lily. Let's go to the swing." + +They ran to the swing and had fun. They did not know what the future would bring, but they knew they had each other. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is a good basis for love, and love is about sharing and caring. +Sara loves the sea. She likes to swim and splash in the water. She likes to see the fish and the shells. But her favorite thing is to see the dolphins. They are big and gray and have a smile.

Do you want to try it?" + +Tim felt hurt by Anna's words. He thought Anna was being mean and rude. He said, "No, I don't want to try your microscope. My microscope is good enough for me. I don't need a bigger or newer one. I like my microscope." + +Anna was surprised by Tim's answer. She said, "But why? Don't you want to see more things and learn more things? Don't you want to have fun with my microscope? It's not nice to refuse a friend's offer." + +Tim said, "It's not nice to make fun of a friend's gift. My dad gave me my microscope and I love it. It's special to me. You should be happy with what you have and not brag about what you have. That's not how friends behave." + +Anna realized that Tim was right. She felt sorry for hurting Tim's feelings. She said, "You're right, Tim. I'm sorry for being mean and rude. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just excited to share my microscope with you. I'm happy that you love your microscope. Can we still be friends and play with our microscopes together?" + +Tim smiled and said, "Yes, we can still be friends and play with our microscopes together. Maybe we can learn from each other and see different things. Thank you for saying sorry. I'm sorry for refusing your offer. Let's have fun with our microscopes." + +The moral of the story is: Be respectful of other people's feelings and belongings. Don't judge or boast about what you have or don't have.

He walked and walked, but Sam was nowhere. Tim started to feel sad and scared. Where did Sam go? Did he vanish? + +Sam heard Tim call his name and felt sorry for him. He decided to come out of his hiding spot and surprise him. He jumped out from behind the tree and shouted, "Boo!" + +Tim was so happy to see Sam that he ran to hug him.

Your knee will be fine." + +Tim smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. And you are very good at hiding. I could not find you at all." + +Sam smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tim. You are a good friend too. And you are very good at seeking. You looked everywhere." + +They hugged and decided to play another game. They had fun in the park. +Once upon a time there was a friendly little girl called Lily. Lily loved to play with her friends in the park and they would often have lots of fun together.

He saw a button on the car that said "On". He pressed the button. + +The car made a loud beep and started to move. Sam was excited. He tried to make the car go where he wanted, but he could not. The car had a mind of its own. It went fast and slow and left and right. It bumped into the walls and the furniture and the toys. It made a lot of noise and mess. Sam was scared. He wanted to make the car stop, but he did not know how. He felt uncomfortable. + +He ran to his mom and told her what happened. His mom came to his room and saw the car. She was not happy.

Watch!" + +She waved the wire in the air and said, "Abracadabra!" She hoped something would happen. She hoped the wire would do something amazing. + +But nothing happened. The wire was still a wire. It was not magic. It was boring. Lily felt even sadder. She dropped the wire on the floor and walked away. + +She did not see the wire disappear. She did not see the wire turn into a snake.

She also told them a story. She said, "Crawling is good for babies, but not for big kids. Big kids should walk and slide and run and jump. But they should also be careful and follow the rules.

We are sorry for being careless. We will not crawl on the slide again. We will be careful and follow the rules. Thank you for helping us and telling us the story." + +The nice lady smiled and hugged them. She said, "You are welcome. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now, go and have fun, but be careful."

Why are you glowing?" Mom asked, hugging Lily. + +"We were playing with the glow sticks and Lily broke one and it spilled on her hand. It hurts, Mom. Make it stop." Ben said, showing Mom the glow stick. + +"Oh, you poor thing. It's okay, Lily. It's not dangerous. It's just a chemical that makes light. We'll wash it off and put some cream on it. You'll be fine." Dad said, taking Lily to the bathroom. + +Ben followed them and felt sorry for Lily. He decided to be more careful with the glow sticks next time. He also decided to share his flashlight and lantern with Lily. He loved his sister and wanted her to be happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but their favorite was the refrigerator. They liked to open and close the door, and pretend to cook and eat the food inside. + +One day, their mom said, "Lily and Ben, I have a surprise for you. Come and see!"

Do you like it?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the box, and then at each other. They did not like it. They wanted to play with the real refrigerator, not a fake one. They shook their heads and said, "No, thank you. We like the refrigerator better." + +Their mom was sad. She had spent a lot of money and time to buy and wrap the toy. She wanted to make them happy, but they did not accept her gift. She said, "But this is a very nice toy. It has a stove, a sink, a microwave, and a fridge. You can pretend to cook and eat anything you want. Why don't you try it?" + +Lily and Ben did not want to hurt their mom's feelings, but they did not want to play with the toy either. They said, "Sorry, mom. We like the refrigerator better. It's cold and big and real. Can we play with it, please?" + +Their mom sighed. She did not know what to do. She loved her twins, but she wished they would be more cheerful and grateful. She said, "Okay, you can play with the refrigerator for a little while. But be careful, and don't make a mess. And maybe later, you can try the play kitchen. It might be fun, too." + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the kitchen. They opened the refrigerator door and smiled.

They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you and the cake and the play kitchen. Can we play with both?" + +Their mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. Happy birthday, my sweet twins. I'm glad you like your gifts. Now, let's have some cake and celebrate." She cut the cake and gave them each a slice. They ate and laughed and played.

It is my fly." + +Ben tried to reason with her. He said, "Lila, think about how you would feel if someone caught you and put you in a jar. Would you like that? Would you be happy? No, you would be scared and lonely and angry. You would want to go back to your home and your family and your friends. That is how the fly feels. You should be kind and restore it to its home. That is the right thing to do." + +Lila thought about what Ben said. She looked at the fly in the jar. It was not moving much. It looked sad and tired. She felt sorry for it. She said, "You are right, Ben. I was not kind. I was selfish. I should restore the fly to its home. I will let it go." + +She opened the jar and let the fly go. The fly flew out of the jar and buzzed around. It looked happy and free. It flew away with other flies. Lila and Ben watched it go. They smiled and said, "Bye, blue fly. Have a good day." + +Lila learned a lesson. She learned to respect and care for other animals. She learned to be kind and generous. She learned to restore what she took. She thanked Ben for being a good friend and teaching her. They hugged and went back to playing. They had a good day. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom on the floor and pretend they are racing. One day, they find a big apron in the kitchen. It is blue and has white dots on it. They think it is a good road for their cars. + +They put the apron on the floor and start to zoom their cars on it. They have fun and make loud noises. But then, Mom comes in. She is very serious. She says, "What are you doing with my apron? It is not a road. It is for cooking. You are making it dirty and wrinkled. Give it back to me now!" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not want to give back the apron. They like it. They say, "No, Mom. It is our road. We are playing. Please let us play." They hold on to the apron and pull it. + +Mom is angry. She says, "No, it is not your road. It is mine. You are being naughty. You have to share and listen. Let go of the apron or I will take away your cars." She pulls the apron too. + +Tom and Sue do not let go. They pull harder. They do not want to lose their cars. They do not want to share. They do not want to listen. They yell, "No, no, no!" + +But then, something bad happens. The apron rips. It makes a loud sound. It tears in half. Tom and Sue are shocked. They look at the apron. It is ruined. They look at Mom. She is very sad. She says, "Look what you did. You broke my apron. It was a gift from Grandma. She made it for me. It was special. Now it is gone. How could you do this?" + +Tom and Sue feel bad. They are sorry. They did not mean to break the apron. They did not know it was a gift. They did not know it was special. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We were just playing. Please do not be sad. Please do not take away our cars." + +But Mom does not listen. She says, "You are too late. You should have listened before. You should have shared before. You should have cared before. Now you have to learn your lesson. You have to go to your rooms. You have to give me your cars. You have to stay there until dinner. No more playing. No more zooming. No more fun." + +Tom and Sue cry. They do not want to go to their rooms. They do not want to give up their cars. They do not want to stay there until dinner. They want to play. They want to zoom. They want to have fun. But they have no choice. They have to do what Mom says. They have to say goodbye to their cars. They have to say goodbye to their road. They have to say goodbye to their fun. They have to say hello to their bad ending. +Lily was a daughter who liked to stare. She stared at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the people. She stared because she wanted to learn new things. She was different from her brother Tom, who liked to run and play and make noise. + +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. Lily saw a girl on a swing who had curly hair and dark skin. Lily stared at her because she looked different from her. The girl saw Lily staring and smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Maya. Do you want to swing with me?" the girl asked. + +Lily nodded and walked to the swing. She sat next to Maya and they started to swing. Lily felt happy and excited. She wanted to talk to Maya and ask her questions. + +"Where are you from?" Lily asked. + +"I'm from Kenya. It's a country far away. We moved here last year. Where are you from?" Maya answered. + +"I'm from here. This is my home. What is Kenya like?" Lily asked. + +"Kenya is warm and sunny. It has many animals and plants. It also has mountains and lakes. It's very beautiful. Do you like animals?" Maya asked. + +"Yes, I love animals. I have a cat named Fluffy. He's soft and cuddly. Do you have a pet?" Lily asked. + +"No, I don't. But I used to have a goat named Nala. She was funny and smart. She liked to eat grass and follow me around. I miss her sometimes." Maya said. + +Lily and Maya talked and laughed and swung for a long time. They found out that they had many things in common. They liked to read books, draw pictures, and sing songs. They also liked to stare at the world and learn new things. They became friends and decided to play together again. + +Tom saw Lily and Maya having fun. He ran to them and joined them. He also liked Maya and wanted to play with her. He asked her to show him how to make a bracelet out of grass. Maya agreed and taught him. They all had a good time at the park. + +Mom watched her children and smiled. She was glad that they met Maya and made a new friend. She was proud that they were curious and kind and open to different people. She hoped that they would always be like that. She hugged them and said, "Let's go home. It's time for dinner." They all agreed and left the park. They were happy and hungry. They had a good day. +Sara likes to sing. She sings at home, at school, and in the park. She has a toy microphone that she got for her birthday. She pretends that she is a famous singer and that many people are watching her. + +One day, Sara goes to the mall with her mom. She sees a big stage with lights and speakers. There is a sign that says "Talent Show". Sara wants to join the show. She asks her mom if she can. Her mom says yes, but she has to be brave and careful. + +Sara waits for her turn. She holds her toy microphone. She sees other kids singing, dancing, and playing. Some are good, some are not. Sara feels nervous and excited. She hopes that she can do well. + +Finally, it is Sara's turn. She walks to the stage. She sees many people looking at her. She hears her name on the big microphone. She smiles and waves. She starts to sing her favorite song. She sings loud and clear. She moves and dances. She has fun. + +The people clap and cheer for Sara. She hears them say "Wow!" and "Good job!" She feels happy and proud. She bows and says "Thank you!" She runs to her mom and hugs her. Her mom says "You were amazing, Sara! You are a famous singer!" Sara says "I love you, mom! I love to sing!" +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They open the box and see many hats inside. They are happy and try on different hats. + +"Look at me, Lily! I am a pirate!" Tom says. He puts on a black hat with a skull on it. He pretends to have a sword and a hook. + +"You are funny, Tom! I am a princess!" Lily says. She puts on a pink hat with a crown on it. She pretends to have a dress and a wand. + +They play and laugh for a long time. They do not see the dark clouds in the sky. They do not hear the thunder. + +Suddenly, it starts to rain. The rain is heavy and cold. Lily and Tom are wet and scared. They run to the box and hide inside. They hug each other and shiver. + +"Tom, I do not like the rain. It is dark and loud. I want to go home," Lily says. + +"Me too, Lily. But we have to wait until the rain stops. Do not worry, we have our hats. They will keep us warm and light," Tom says. + +He takes off his pirate hat and puts it on Lily's head. He says, "This is a magic hat. It will make you brave and strong." + +He takes off Lily's princess hat and puts it on his head. He says, "This is a magic hat. It will make you happy and calm." + +They smile and hold their hats. They feel better. They do not notice that the rain has stopped. They do not see the rainbow in the sky. They only see each other. They are friends. They have magic hats. +Tim and Kim were twins who loved to play at the zoo. They liked to see all the different animals and make noises like them. One day, they saw a zebra that was very filthy. It had mud and dirt all over its black and white stripes. + +"Look, Kim, that zebra is so dirty!" Tim said. "It needs a bath!" + +"Maybe we can help it," Kim said. "Let's go and get some water and a brush." + +They ran to the fountain and filled a bucket with water. They also found a brush near the trash can. They carried the bucket and the brush to the zebra's cage. They climbed over the fence and went inside. + +"Hello, zebra," Kim said. "We are here to clean you. Don't be scared." + +The zebra looked at them with big eyes. It did not like strangers in its home. It snorted and kicked its hooves. It tried to run away from them. + +"Stop, zebra, stop!" Tim said. "We just want to help you!" + +But the zebra did not listen. It ran faster and faster, until it reached the other end of the cage. There was a big hole in the wall, where the workers were fixing something. The zebra saw the hole and jumped through it. It disappeared from the zoo. + +"Uh-oh," Kim said. "The zebra is gone!" + +Tim and Kim dropped the bucket and the brush. They felt very sorry and scared. They did not mean to make the zebra run away. They wanted to make it happy and clean. + +They heard a loud voice behind them. It was the zookeeper. He was very angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he shouted. "You are not supposed to be in the cage! You scared the zebra and made it escape! Do you know how much trouble you are in?" + +Tim and Kim started to cry. They knew they did something very bad. They wished they had not gone to the zebra's cage. They wished they had listened to their mom, who told them to stay away from the animals. + +The zookeeper took them to their mom, who was looking for them. She was very worried and upset. She hugged them and scolded them. + +"You two are very naughty," she said. "You could have been hurt by the zebra. You could have lost the zebra. You could have ruined the zoo. You should never touch or bother the animals. They are not toys. They are living beings. They have feelings and needs. You should respect them and leave them alone." + +Tim and Kim nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom, to the zookeeper, and to the zebra. They hoped the zebra would come back soon. They promised to never do something like that again. They realized that being filthy was not a reason to bother someone. They understood that being clean was not the most important thing in the world. They decided to be more careful and kind to the animals. They wanted to be good friends to the zebra and all the other creatures at the zoo. +Lily and Max were having lunch with their mom. They liked pasta with sauce, but they did not like the same sauce. Lily liked red sauce, and Max liked white sauce. Mom made both sauces for them. + +"Can I have some red sauce, please?" Lily asked. + +"Here you go, sweetie," Mom said, and gave her some red sauce. + +"Can I have some white sauce, please?" Max asked. + +"Sure, honey," Mom said, and gave him some white sauce. + +They ate their pasta and sauce happily. But then, they saw something strange on the table. It was a bottle of purple sauce. They had never seen purple sauce before. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Max said. + +"Maybe it's a new sauce," Mom said. "Do you want to try it?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They were curious, but also scared. They did not know if purple sauce was good or bad. + +"Maybe we should pray first," Lily said. + +"Okay," Max said. + +They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They prayed to God to bless their food and make the purple sauce yummy. + +Then, they opened their eyes and took a spoonful of purple sauce. They put it in their mouths and tasted it. + +"Mmm, it's good!" Lily said. + +"It's sweet!" Max said. + +They smiled and ate more purple sauce. They liked it a lot. + +Mom was happy to see them enjoy the new sauce. She told them it was made from grapes and sugar. She said it was a special sauce for dessert. + +Lily and Max thanked Mom for the yummy lunch and the purple sauce. They also thanked God for answering their prayer. They were glad they tried something new. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to roll down the hill and feel the wind on their faces. They laughed and shouted as they rolled over and over. + +"Look, Lily, a light!" Ben said, pointing to a shiny thing on the grass. He ran to pick it up. It was a small, round, metal thing with a button on it. + +"What is it?" Lily asked, following him. + +"I don't know. Maybe it makes a sound or a picture. Let's see." Ben pressed the button. + +Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a flash of fire. Ben and Lily screamed and dropped the thing. It was a firework, and it was very dangerous. + +"Run, run!" Lily cried, grabbing Ben's hand. They ran away from the firework as fast as they could. + +A man who was walking his dog saw them and ran to help. He picked up the firework and threw it in a bin. He checked if Ben and Lily were hurt. + +"Are you okay, kids? That was a very bad thing to play with. It could have hurt you very badly. Where are your parents?" he asked. + +Ben and Lily were scared and sorry. They told the man where their mum was. She was sitting on a bench, reading a book. She did not see what happened. + +The man took them to their mum and told her what happened. She was very angry and worried. She hugged them and thanked the man. She told them to never touch anything that looked like a light again. She said they were very lucky to be safe. + +Ben and Lily said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They never played with fireworks again. They only rolled down the hill and had fun. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Ben wants to go first. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Lily follows him. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily says. + +Ben is at the top of the slide. He looks down and sees a whistle on the ground. He likes whistles. He wants to lift it and blow it. + +"Look, Lily, a whistle!" Ben says. He points to the whistle. + +Lily sees the whistle too. She also likes whistles. She wants to lift it and blow it. + +"Let me have it, Ben!" Lily says. She reaches for the whistle. + +Ben and Lily both want the whistle. They start to pull and tug. The whistle falls from their hands. It rolls down the slide. + +"Oh no, the whistle!" Ben and Lily say. They look at the slide. They see a boy at the bottom. He is organized. He has a backpack and a hat. He sees the whistle. He lifts it and blows it. + +"Wow, a whistle!" the boy says. He smiles and puts the whistle in his backpack. + +Ben and Lily are sad. They lost the whistle. They go down the slide. They want to ask the boy for the whistle. + +"Excuse me, can we have the whistle?" Ben says. + +"Sorry, I found it. It's mine now." the boy says. He zips his backpack and puts on his hat. He walks away. + +Ben and Lily are mad. They think the boy is not nice. They want to play with something else. They see a swing. They run to the swing. They forget about the whistle. They have fun on the swing. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fat goat in the park. The goat is eating oats from a bag. + +"Look, a goat!" Sara says. "He is so fat and fluffy!" + +"Can we pet him?" Ben asks. + +They go near the goat. The goat sees them and makes a loud sound. "Baa!" + +"Hello, goat!" Sara says. She waves her hand at the goat. The goat waves his tail back. + +"Can we give you some oats?" Ben asks. He takes some oats from the bag and holds them out. + +The goat nods his head. He walks to Ben and eats the oats from his hand. He licks Ben's fingers. + +"Thank you, goat!" Ben says. He pets the goat's head. + +The goat smiles. He likes Sara and Ben. They are nice and friendly. + +Sara and Ben play with the goat for a while. They have fun. They give the goat more oats and water. They hug the goat and say goodbye. + +"Bye, goat!" Sara and Ben say. They wave at the goat. + +The goat waves his tail. He says "Baa!" He is happy. He hopes to see Sara and Ben again. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. But then, Lily's car stops moving. She looks at it and sees a black spot on one of the wheels. + +"Oh no, my car is broken!" Lily cries. "It has a black spot and it can't go!" + +Tom comes over and looks at the car. He sees the black spot too. He thinks it is dirt or mud. + +"Maybe we can repair it," Tom says. "Let's try to wash it off." + +They take the car to the tap and turn on the water. They rub the wheel with their hands, but the black spot does not go away. It is not dirt or mud. It is a hole. + +"This is not good," Tom says. "We can't wash it off. We need something else to repair it." + +Lily thinks hard. She remembers that her dad has a box of tools in the garage. She runs to the garage and looks for the box. She finds it and opens it. She sees many things inside, but she does not know what they are. + +She picks up a roll of tape. It is sticky and shiny. She thinks it might work. + +"Look, Tom, I found this!" Lily says, holding up the tape. "Maybe we can use this to repair the car!" + +Tom nods. He takes the tape and tears off a piece. He sticks it over the hole on the wheel. He presses it hard. + +"There, it's done!" Tom says. "Let's try it now!" + +They put the car on the ground and push it. It moves again. The tape covers the black spot and the hole. + +"Yay, it works!" Lily cheers. "You repaired it, Tom! You are so smart!" + +Tom smiles. He is happy that he helped Lily. They hug each other and continue to play with their cars. They have fun and forget about the black spot. +Sara loved spaghetti. She liked to twirl it on her fork and slurp it up. She liked to make funny shapes with it on her plate. She liked to eat it with cheese and sauce. + +One day, Sara's mom made a big pot of spaghetti for dinner. She put it on the table and called Sara and her dad. Sara ran to the table and saw the pot. It was very big and heavy. She wanted to help her mom serve the spaghetti. + +"Can I help, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. The pot is very hot and heavy. You need to use both hands and a big spoon," mom said. + +Sara nodded and grabbed a big spoon. She reached for the pot handle, but it was too far. She stretched and stretched, but she could not reach it. She felt sad and frustrated. She wanted to help, but she was too small. + +Dad saw Sara's problem. He had an idea. He smiled and said, "I have a way to solve this, Sara. Do you want to see?" + +Sara nodded and looked at dad. Dad got a chair and put it next to the table. He lifted Sara and put her on the chair. Now Sara was taller and could reach the pot handle. + +"Wow, dad, you solved it!" Sara said. + +"Yes, I did. And now you can help mom serve the spaghetti. Just be careful and use both hands and a big spoon," dad said. + +Sara smiled and thanked dad. She used both hands and a big spoon to scoop some spaghetti onto her plate. She felt happy and proud. She helped mom serve the spaghetti. She ate it with cheese and sauce.

Today was the day they would deliver some gifts to their friends. They had made some cards and cookies with their mom. They put them in a big bag and got on their bikes. + +They rode to Anna's house first. Anna was their best friend. She liked to play with dolls and puzzles. They knocked on the door and Anna opened it. She smiled when she saw them. + +"Hi, Lily and Tom! What are you doing here?" she asked. + +"We have a surprise for you!" Lily said. She took out a card and a cookie from the bag and gave them to Anna. The card had a picture of a flower and said "You are amazing". The cookie was shaped like a heart and had sprinkles on it. + +"Wow, thank you so much! You are amazing too!" Anna said. She hugged them and invited them in. They played with her dolls and puzzles for a while. Then they said goodbye and rode to the next house. + +They delivered more gifts to their other friends. They all said thank you and gave them hugs. They had a lot of fun. They felt happy and proud. + +When they got back home, it was getting dark. They saw their mom waiting for them. She had a big smile on her face. + +"Hello, my amazing kids! How was your day?" she asked. + +"It was great, mom! We delivered gifts to our friends and they loved them!" Tom said. + +"That's wonderful! You are very kind and generous. I have a gift for you too!" she said. She took them to the backyard. There was a big tent with a light inside. It looked cozy and magical. + +"Wow, mom! What is this?" Lily asked. + +"This is your special camping spot for tonight. You can sleep here and watch the stars. I have some pillows and blankets for you. And some hot chocolate and marshmallows too!" she said. + +"Thank you, mom! You are the best!" they said. They hugged her and ran to the tent. They turned on the light and saw how amazing it was. They drank the hot chocolate and ate the marshmallows. They told stories and sang songs. They looked at the stars and made wishes. They felt warm and safe. + +They had the best day ever. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces. They dreamed of more adventures. They knew they were loved. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball. They pass the ball to each other. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog has a collar. The dog runs to them. Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the ball. + +"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" the dog says. "Don't be scared. I just want to play. Can I have the ball?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They don't know what to do. The dog looks friendly, but he is big. + +"Please, please, please!" the dog says. "I will be nice. I will pass the ball back to you. I will not bite. I will not bark. I will give you a treat." + +"A treat?" Tom says. "What kind of treat?" + +The dog wags his tail. He opens his mouth. He shows them a bone. The bone is white and hard. + +"This is my treat," the dog says. "I will share it with you. You can have a bite. It is yummy." + +Tom and Sam think about it. They like treats. They like to share. They decide to give the dog a chance. + +"OK," Sam says. "We will play with you. But you have to be slow. You are too fast for us." + +"OK, OK, OK!" the dog says. "I will be slow. I will be gentle. I will be your friend." + +They pick up the ball. They pass the ball to the dog. The dog catches the ball. He passes the ball back to them. They laugh.

They pretended it was their house and they had many toys inside. + +One day, they wanted to go to the creek near their home. The creek had water and rocks and fish. Lily and Ben liked to splash and look for fish. They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to be careful and come back soon. + +Lily and Ben took their backpacks and put some snacks and water inside. They also borrowed a net and a bucket from their dads. They said they wanted to catch some fish. Their dads smiled and said okay, but they had to return them later. + +They walked to the creek and found a good spot. They put their backpacks on the ground and took out their net and bucket. They looked for fish in the water. They saw some small fish that were silver and shiny. They tried to catch them with the net, but they were too fast and slippery. They laughed and tried again. + +They had fun at the creek for a long time. They also saw some frogs and bugs and flowers. They ate their snacks and drank their water. They were happy and tired. They decided to go back to their tent. They put their net and bucket back in their backpacks. They did not catch any fish, but they did not mind. They said goodbye to the creek and thanked it for the fun. They walked back to their yard and returned the net and bucket to their dads. They went inside their tent and played with their toys. They told each other stories about the creek and the fish. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben wanted to decorate their room for Christmas. They had a small tree, some shiny balls, and a long cable with lights. They asked their mom if they could use the cable. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't plug it in until I check it," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wrapped the cable around the tree and hung the balls on the branches. They also found some soft socks and scarves and made them into bows. They were very happy with their work. + +"Look, mom, we decorated the tree!" Lily said. + +"It's beautiful, sweeties. Well done!" mom said. She checked the cable and plugged it in. The lights blinked and sparkled. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Ben said. + +They all hugged and smiled.

Ben wanted to touch it, but Mia said, "No, Ben, it can part you and hurt you. Crabs are not toys." + +Ben did not listen to Mia. He ran to the crab and tried to pick it up. The crab was angry and part Ben's finger. Ben cried out loud and dropped the crab. The crab ran away to the water. Ben's finger was bleeding and hurt a lot. + +Mom and Dad heard Ben's cry and came to help him. They washed his finger and put a band-aid on it. They hugged Ben and said, "We are sorry, Ben, but you should listen to Mia. She is your big sister and she knows better. Crabs are not toys. They are animals that live in the sea and need to be left alone." + +Ben said, "I am sorry, Mom and Dad. I am sorry, Mia. I was silly and I did not listen. I will not touch crabs again. I love you." Mia said, "I love you too, Ben. I am glad you are okay. Next time, we can look for starfish. They are soft and pretty and do not part." Ben smiled and nodded. They all went back to play in the sand and look for starfish. They had fun at the beach. +Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about her toys, her friends, her family and her dreams. She used a pencil and drew pictures too. She kept her journal under her bed, where no one could find it. + +One day, Lily came home from school and saw her journal on the floor. It was torn and dirty. Some pages were missing. Lily felt very sad and angry. She picked up her journal and ran to her room. She cried on her bed. + +"Who did this to my journal?" she asked herself. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her brother, Max. He came in with a sheepish smile. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I was looking for my toy car and I found your journal. I thought it was a fake book. I wanted to see what was inside. I didn't mean to ruin it. Please forgive me." + +Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was holding something behind his back. She wondered what it was. + +"What is that?" she asked. + +Max brought his hand forward. He showed Lily a new journal. It was pink and sparkly. It had a lock and a key. It had stickers and crayons. + +"I bought this for you with my allowance. I know it can't replace your old journal, but I hope it can help you restore your happiness. You can write and draw whatever you want. And you can keep it safe with the lock and key. I promise I won't touch it again. I love you, Lily." + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She hugged Max and thanked him. She took the new journal and opened it. She saw a blank page. She smiled and wrote: + +"Today, my brother gave me a gift. He is not so bad after all." +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Ben wanted to go fast on the slide. Lily was lazy and scared. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go on the slide!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, it's too high and too fast. I don't want to go," Lily said. + +Ben was angry. He wanted to have fun.

But you have to pay me." + +Lily did not have any money. She did not know what to do. She saw Ben sliding down the slide. He was going very fast. He looked happy. She wanted to be happy too. She said, "I don't have any money, but I can give you something else. I can give you my brother. He is fast and strong. You can eat him." + +The man was surprised. He did not want to eat Ben. He wanted to sell ice cream and cookies. He said, "No, no, I don't want your brother. I don't eat people. That's very bad. Go away, little girl. You are crazy." + +Lily did not listen. She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him to the man. She said, "Here, take him. He is tasty. He is not lazy like me. He likes to go fast. You can have speed and eat him." + +Ben was scared.

The train was gray and had a lot of steam. The steam came out of a pipe on the train. The train made a loud noise: choo-choo!

Hop on and I will show you the world." + +Lily climbed on the train and sat in a seat. The train started to move. It went fast and slow, up and down, left and right. Lily saw many places and things.

But their mom said they had to wait until she finished her work. She was a teacher and she had to number some papers. + +Tom and Lily were impatient. They asked their mom many times, "Can we go now? Can we go now?" Their mom said, "Not yet, my loves. I need a little more time. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" + +Tom and Lily did not want to play with their toys or read a book. They wanted to go to the shore. They looked out the window and saw the sun and the waves and the sand. They felt sad and bored. + +Then they had an idea. They took some paper and crayons and made their own shore. They drew the water and the sky and the sand. They cut out some shells and rocks and glued them on the paper. They made a paper boat and a paper fish. They pretended they were on the shore and had fun. + +Their mom finished her work and saw their paper shore. She smiled and said, "You are very creative, Tom and Lily. I'm sorry I made you wait. Now we can go to the real shore and have more fun. Come on, let's go!"

She wanted to read it. She pulled the book from the shelf and showed it to mom. "Can I have this one, mom?" she asked. + +Mom looked at the book and shook her head. "No, Lily, this book is too expensive. It is not for borrowing, it is for buying. See, it has a sticker with a number on it. That means how much money it costs. We don't have enough money for this book." + +Lily felt sad. She liked the princess book. She put it back on the shelf and looked for another book. She saw a book with a print of a dog on the cover. She liked dogs. She pulled the book from the shelf and opened it. It had many pictures of dogs doing funny things. She smiled and showed it to mom. "How about this one, mom?" she asked. + +Mom looked at the book and nodded. "Yes, Lily, this book is good. It is not expensive, it is free. You can borrow it for two weeks.

She loved her milk cup very much. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, you are three years old now. You are a big girl. You don't need to drink milk from a cup with a straw.

She missed her cup and her straw. She put the glass down and ran to her room. She cried and cried. + +Lily's mom felt sorry for Lily. She knew that Lily loved her cup and her straw.

She went to Lily's room and knocked on the door. + +"Lily, can I come in?" she asked. + +Lily sniffed and said, "Yes." + +Lily's mom entered the room and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry I made you sad. I know you love your cup and your straw. But you are a big girl now, and big girls drink from glasses. How about this? You can keep your cup and your straw, but you can only use them for special occasions. Like your birthday, or Christmas, or when you are sick. The rest of the time, you can drink from a glass. And I have a surprise for you. Look, I bought you a new glass. It's pink, and it has a picture of a unicorn on it. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the new glass. It was pink, and it had a picture of a unicorn on it. She liked unicorns. She smiled and said, "Yes, I like it. Thank you, mom." + +Lily's mom said, "You're welcome, Lily.

Jen says, covering her ears. + +They forget about the tower. They run to the window to see the truck. They leave the blocks behind. + +But the blocks are not stable. They are too high and too heavy. They start to wobble and shake. They lose their balance and fall. They crash on the floor. They make a loud noise. They destroy the tower. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Tim and Jen say, turning around and seeing the mess. + +They are sad and angry. They worked hard to make the tower. They liked the tower. Now the tower is gone.

Jen says, blaming the truck. + +"It's not fair, Jen! The truck is old and mean! It should not make so much noise and destroy our tower!" Tim says, crying. + +"I know, Tim, I know. It's not fair. But don't cry, Tim. We can make another tower. We can make it better and stronger. We can use more blocks and more books. We can make it the best tower ever!" Jen says, trying to cheer him up. + +"Really, Jen? Do you think so?" Tim asks, wiping his tears. + +"Really, Tim. I think so. Come on, let's do it. Let's make another tower. And let's make sure the truck doesn't come back and destroy it again!" Jen says, hugging him. + +"OK, Jen. Let's do it. Let's make another tower. And let's make it the best tower ever!"

But can I keep my rainbow? It is my best painting ever." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can keep your rainbow. But you have to help me clean the rest of the wall.
