Maybe they are poison. Poison can make you sick or hurt you. We should skip away from them." Ben said. + +"But they are so pretty. I want to smell them. Maybe they are not poison. Maybe the sign is wrong." Anna said. She did not listen to Ben. She walked to the flowers and touched one. + +"Anna, no! Come back!" Ben shouted. He was scared for Anna. He ran to her and pulled her away from the flowers. + +"Ow, Ben, you hurt me. Why did you do that?" Anna cried. She felt a sting on her finger. The flower had a sharp thorn. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, but you touched the poison flower. Look, your finger is red and swollen. We need to go to the nurse. She can help you." Ben said. He held Anna's hand and skipped with her to the nurse's office. + +The nurse was kind and gentle. She cleaned Anna's finger and put a band-aid on it. She gave Anna a lollipop and Ben a sticker. She told them to be careful and not touch the poison flowers again. + +"Thank you, nurse. You are very nice." Anna said. + +"Yes, thank you, nurse. You made Anna feel better." Ben said. + +They hugged the nurse and said goodbye. They skipped back to the park. They played on the swings and the slide. They did not go near the poison flowers. They were happy and comfortable. They were still best friends. +Sara and Tom like to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. They also have a swing that hangs from a vine. The vine is strong and long and green. + +One day, they want to play on the swing, but it starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet and makes them sad. They run to the porch and wait for the rain to stop. They look at the swing and the vine and wish they could play. + +But then, they see something funny. A little bird lands on the vine and starts to sing. The bird is blue and yellow and has a red beak. It does not mind the rain. It hops and flaps and sings on the vine. + +Sara and Tom smile and laugh. They think the bird is cute and happy. They watch the bird and try to sing with it. They forget about the rain and have fun. + +The bird sees Sara and Tom and likes them. It flies to the porch and lands on Sara's shoulder. It pecks her ear and makes her giggle. It lets Tom stroke its feathers and makes him grin. It is a friendly bird. + +Sara and Tom are glad they met the bird. They think the bird is a good friend. They give the bird a name. They call it Fit. Fit is a good name for the bird, because it fits on the vine and on the porch and in their hearts. +Lily loved to play in the park with her mom and dad. She liked to run, swing, slide and climb. She also liked to look at the animals, like the birds, the ducks and the squirrels. She wanted to make friends with them, but they were shy and ran away. + +One day, she saw a brilliant squirrel with a bushy tail and shiny eyes. It was sitting on a branch, holding a nut. Lily wanted to see it up close, so she ran towards it. But the squirrel was scared and dropped the nut. It jumped to another tree and hid. + +Lily felt sad. She picked up the nut and examined it. It was brown and hard, with a crack in the middle. She wondered what it tasted like. She thought maybe the squirrel would like it back. She walked slowly to the tree where the squirrel was hiding. She held out the nut and said, "Hello, squirrel. I'm sorry I scared you. Do you want your nut?" + +The squirrel peeked out from behind the leaves. It saw the nut and the girl. It smelled the nut and the girl. It heard the nut and the girl. It decided the girl was not mean, but nice. It came down from the tree and took the nut from the girl's hand. It nibbled on the nut and made a happy sound. + +Lily smiled. She had made a new friend. She learned that animals are not toys, but living things. She learned that being gentle and kind is better than being loud and rude. She learned that sharing is caring. She hugged the squirrel and said, "Thank you, squirrel. You are brilliant." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty skirt with flowers on it. Lily liked to comb Anna's hair and dress her up. + +One day, Lily's big brother Sam came into her room. He wanted to play with Lily, but he did not like dolls. He liked cars and robots and dinosaurs. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her. + +"Give me that doll!" he said. "I want to make her fly!" + +Lily was scared. She did not want Sam to hurt Anna. She ran to the bed and tried to get Anna back. + +"No, Sam, no!" she cried. "Anna is mine! She is not a toy for you!" + +Sam laughed. He held Anna high in the air and swung her around. He did not care that Lily was sad. He thought it was fun to make Lily cry. + +Lily felt angry. She loved Anna and wanted to protect her. She looked around and saw a pillow on the floor. She picked it up and threw it at Sam. + +"Stop it, Sam, stop it!" she shouted. "Leave Anna alone!" + +The pillow hit Sam in the face and made him drop Anna. Lily caught Anna and hugged her tight. She checked if Anna was okay. She was happy that Anna's skirt was not torn and her hair was not messy. + +Sam was mad. He did not like that Lily hit him with a pillow. He wanted to get Anna again and make her fly. He moved towards Lily and Anna. + +But then, Mom came into the room. She heard the noise and saw what was happening. She was not happy with Sam. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you being mean to Lily and her doll?" + +Sam did not know what to say. He knew he was wrong. He looked at the floor and said nothing. + +Mom went to Lily and Anna. She smiled at them and said, "Lily, you are a good sister. You protected Anna from Sam. Anna is lucky to have you." + +Lily smiled back. She felt proud and happy. She thanked Mom and said, "I love Anna. She is my best friend." + +Mom hugged Lily and Anna. She said, "I love you, too. You are my good girl." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over who gets what. + +One day, Mom gives them a new calendar. It has pictures of animals and colors for each month. Mom says they can take turns to put stickers on the calendar. Sara likes the calendar. She wants to put a pink sticker on the first day. Ben likes the calendar too. He wants to put a blue sticker on the same day. + +Sara and Ben both reach for the calendar. They pull and tug. They yell and cry. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She asks them to share the calendar and be nice to each other. But Sara and Ben refuse. They want the calendar for themselves. + +Mom is sad and angry. She takes the calendar away from them. She says they cannot have it until they learn to share. She puts the calendar on a high shelf. Sara and Ben are sad and angry too. They pout and sulk. + +The next day, Sara and Ben miss the calendar. They want to see the pictures and the colors. They want to put stickers on it. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry. They hug and make up. + +They go to Mom and ask for the calendar. Mom is happy. She gives them the calendar. She tells them to be careful with it. Sara and Ben are happy. They thank Mom. They take turns to put stickers on the calendar. They share and play nicely. They enjoy the calendar. +Ben likes to observe things. He likes to look at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the cars. He likes to see the colors, the shapes, and the sounds. He likes to learn new things every day. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big tent with many people inside. He hears music coming from the tent. He asks his mom, "What is that music?" + +His mom says, "That is jazz music. Jazz is a kind of music that has many sounds and rhythms. Some people play instruments, like drums, piano, saxophone, and trumpet. Some people sing with their voices. Jazz music can make you feel happy, sad, or excited." + +Ben says, "Can we go inside the tent and listen to the jazz music?" + +His mom says, "Sure, let's go. Maybe you will like jazz music too." + +They go inside the tent and find a seat. Ben observes the musicians on the stage. He sees them playing their instruments and singing their songs. He hears them making different sounds and rhythms. He feels the music in his body and his heart. He thinks the jazz music is great. He claps his hands and smiles. He says, "I like jazz music. Jazz music is fun." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a big bush with red fruits on it. They were strawberries. Lily and Ben loved strawberries. They ran to the bush and picked some. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Lily said, biting a juicy strawberry. "These are so good!" + +"Can we have more?" Ben asked, holding a handful of strawberries. + +"Of course!" Lily said. "But we have to share with Mom and Dad. They like strawberries too." + +Lily and Ben ate some more strawberries. They felt happy and full. They looked at the sky. It was blue and bright. They saw some white clouds. They looked like animals and shapes. + +"Look, Ben!" Lily said, pointing. "That cloud looks like a bunny!" + +"I see it!" Ben said. "And that one looks like a car!" + +They laughed and made up stories about the clouds. They wondered what it would be like to ride on a cloud. They wondered if the clouds had names. They wondered if the clouds liked strawberries. + +They were having so much fun. But they also felt tired. They had played a lot. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +"Let's go inside," Lily said. "We can take a nap." + +"OK," Ben said. "But can we bring some strawberries?" + +"Sure," Lily said. "But only a few. We have to save some for later." + +They picked some strawberries and put them in a basket. They held hands and walked to the house. They said goodbye to the bush and the clouds. They thanked them for the strawberries and the stories. + +They went inside and found their beds. They snuggled with their blankets and pillows. They ate some strawberries and smiled. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of bunnies and cars and clouds and strawberries. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big car with shiny wheels and a lady with a fur coat and a hat. The lady got out of the car and walked to a bench. She had a small dog in her arms. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tom said. "It is so big and shiny. I wish we had a car like that." + +"And look at her coat and hat!" Lily said. "They are so soft and warm. I wish we had clothes like that." + +They were envious of the lady and her luxury. They wanted to have what she had. + +They decided to go closer and see the lady and her dog. They walked across the grass, but they did not see a hole. Tom stumbled and fell into the hole. He hurt his knee and cried. + +"Ouch! That hurts!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to help him. She saw blood on his knee and felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily said. "Let me see your knee." + +The lady heard Tom's cry and looked at them. She saw Tom in the hole and Lily by his side. She felt sorry for them too. She put her dog down and walked to them. She smiled and spoke to them. + +"Hello, children. What happened?" the lady said. "Did you hurt yourself?" + +Tom nodded and showed her his knee. The lady took a tissue from her pocket and wiped the blood. She gave him a candy and a hug. + +"There, there. Don't cry. It will be better soon." the lady said. + +Lily smiled and thanked the lady. She gave her a hug too. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very nice." Lily said. + +The lady smiled and said, "You are very welcome. You are very nice too. What are your names?" + +"I am Lily and this is Tom. We are twins." Lily said. + +The lady nodded and said, "I am Mrs. Brown and this is Fluffy. He is my dog." + +She picked up Fluffy and showed him to them. Fluffy wagged his tail and licked their faces. + +"Do you like dogs?" Mrs. Brown said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, we do. We love dogs." + +Mrs. Brown said, "Well, why don't you come with me and play with Fluffy? He likes children. And I have some more candy and toys in my car. Would you like that?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and smiled. They forgot about their envy and their pain. They wanted to play with Fluffy and have fun with Mrs. Brown. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mrs. Brown." + +They took Mrs. Brown's hand and walked to her car. They got in and saw many candy and toys. They were happy and excited. They played with Fluffy and Mrs. Brown. They had a good time. + +They learned that luxury is not everything. And that kindness is more important. And that friends are better than things. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree, a slide, a swing, and a bench. Where could Max be? + +She decided to check behind the tree first. She walked quietly and peeked around the trunk. She saw a pair of blue pants sticking out from behind the leaves. She smiled and said, "I found you, Max!" + +But when she pulled the pants, she realized they were not attached to anyone. They were just hanging on a branch. She heard a giggle from the slide. She turned and saw Max sliding down with a cheerful grin. He had taken off his pants and hid them on the tree. + +"Ha ha, you guessed wrong, Lily!" he said. "You have to find me again!" + +Lily laughed too. She thought Max was very clever and funny. She put the pants on the ground and ran after him. She liked playing with Max. He always made her happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to go on the slide. The slide is big and fun. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. Tom goes first. He slides fast and laughs. Anna goes next. She slides fast and laughs too. + +But then, Anna sees something shiny on the slide. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand. But it is not shiny. It is sharp. It is a piece of glass. It cuts Anna's hand. Anna cries. It hurts. + +Tom hears Anna cry. He stops sliding. He runs to Anna. He sees her hand. It is red. He says, "Anna, are you okay? What happened?" + +Anna shows Tom her hand. She says, "I cut my hand on the glass. It was on the slide. It was bad." + +Tom says, "Oh no, Anna. That is bad. We need to tell our moms. They will help you." + +Tom and Anna go to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are worried. They look at Anna's hand. They say, "Anna, you are lucky. It is not a big cut. But we need to clean it and put a band-aid on it. It will get better soon." + +They take Anna to the bathroom. They wash her hand. They put a band-aid on it. They give her a hug and a kiss. They say, "Anna, you are brave. You are a good girl." + +Anna feels better. She says, "Thank you, moms. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +Tom says, "You are welcome, Anna. I am sorry you cut your hand. But I am glad you are okay. Do you want to play some more?" + +Anna says, "Yes, Tom. I want to play some more. But not on the slide. Let's play on the swings. They are safe and fun." + +Tom says, "Okay, Anna. Let's play on the swings. They are safe and fun." + +They go to the swings. They swing high and low. They smile and laugh. They have fun. They are friends. They are lucky. +Tim and Mia were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They liked to make waves and splash each other. Tim had a red boat and Mia had a blue boat. They pretended they were pirates and explorers. + +"Look, I found a treasure island!" Mia said, pointing to a soap bar. "Let's go there and dig for gold!" + +"Okay, but be careful of the sharks!" Tim said, making his boat circle around the soap. "They might bite your boat and make it sink!" + +They moved their boats closer to the soap and pretended to dig with their fingers. They found some shiny coins and jewels that their mom had hidden for them. They were very happy and put them in their pockets. + +But they did not see that the water was going down the drain. They were so busy playing that they forgot to close the plug. The drain made a loud noise and sucked the water away. + +"Hey, what's happening?" Tim asked, looking at the empty tub. "Where did the water go?" + +"Oh no, the drain took it!" Mia cried, holding her boat. "And our boats too!" + +They looked at the drain and saw their boats stuck in the hole. They tried to reach them, but they were too far. They felt very sad and angry. + +"That's not fair!" Tim shouted. "The drain is mean and greedy! It took our water and our boats and our fun!" + +"Yeah, it's a bad drain!" Mia agreed. "We should teach it a lesson!" + +They ran to the kitchen and got some spoons and forks. They came back to the bathroom and started to poke the drain with them. They hoped to make the drain spit out their boats. + +But the drain did not care. It just made more noise and swallowed the spoons and forks too. Tim and Mia were shocked and scared. They dropped their tools and ran out of the bathroom. + +They found their mom in the living room. She was reading a book and did not hear the noise. She saw their gloomy faces and wet clothes. + +"What's wrong, kids?" she asked. "Did you have a bad bath?" + +Tim and Mia hugged her and told her what happened. They said they were sorry for making a mess and losing their boats. They asked her if she could get them back. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she was not mad at them, but they should not play with the drain. She said the drain was not mean or greedy, but it had a job to do. She said the drain helped to keep the water clean and the pipes clear. She said she would try to get their boats back, but they might be broken or dirty. + +She took them to their room and gave them some dry clothes and new toys. She said they could play with them until dinner. She said she loved them and they should not forget to close the plug next time. + +Tim and Mia said they loved her too and they would not forget. They felt better and started to play with their new toys. They forgot about the drain and their boats. They were happy again. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to ride their bikes. They had new bikes that their dad gave them for their birthday. They had red bikes with big wheels and bells. They were very happy with their bikes. + +One day, they went to the park with their dad. The park had a big lake with an island in the middle. The island had trees and flowers and a bridge. Jen and Ben wanted to ride their bikes on the island. They asked their dad if they could go. + +"Can we ride our bikes on the island, dad?" Jen asked. + +"Sure, you can, but be careful. The bridge is old and the island is small. Don't go too fast or too far," dad said. + +Jen and Ben nodded and rode their bikes to the bridge. They crossed the bridge and reached the island. They saw a lot of birds and bugs and rocks. They had fun riding their bikes around the island. + +But Jen was spoiled. She wanted to have more fun than Ben. She wanted to ride faster and farther than Ben. She did not listen to dad. She rode her bike to the edge of the island, where the water was deep and the rocks were sharp. She did not see the hole in the ground. She fell into the hole with her bike. She screamed. + +"Help! Help! I'm stuck!" Jen cried. + +Ben heard Jen and rode his bike to her. He saw Jen in the hole. He was scared. He called dad. + +"Dad! Dad! Jen is in a hole! She needs help!" Ben shouted. + +Dad heard Ben and ran to the bridge. He saw Jen and Ben. He was worried. He crossed the bridge and went to the hole. He reached out his hand and pulled Jen out of the hole. He hugged her and checked her for hurts. She had some scratches and bruises, but she was okay. He also got her bike out of the hole. It had some dents and dirt, but it was okay. + +"Jen, are you okay? What were you doing? You were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt badly. You are very lucky," dad said. + +Jen was sorry. She knew she was wrong. She cried and said sorry to dad and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Ben. I was spoiled. I wanted to have more fun. I did not listen to you. I was stupid. I won't do it again. Please forgive me," Jen said. + +Dad and Ben forgave Jen. They hugged her and said they loved her. They also said they were glad she was okay. They decided to go back to the park and have a picnic. They rode their bikes slowly and carefully. They had fun together. They learned a lesson. They were happy. +Lena and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what. + +One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a label that says "For Lena and Ben". They are very happy. They think it is a gift from their mom and dad. + +They open the box. Inside, there are many books, puzzles, and games. They look very fun. Lena and Ben want to play with them all. + +But they do not want to play together. They want to play alone. They start to grab and pull the toys. They do not care about the label that says "For Lena and Ben". They only care about themselves. + +"Stop it! This is mine!" Lena shouts, as she tries to take a puzzle from Ben. + +"No, it is not! It is mine!" Ben yells back, as he tries to keep the puzzle. + +They pull harder and harder. The puzzle is not strong. It breaks. It splits into many pieces. They fall on the floor. + +Lena and Ben are very angry. They start to cry. They blame each other for breaking the puzzle. + +They do not see their mom and dad coming in. They do not hear them saying "Hello, kids. We are back from the store. We have a surprise for you." + +They do not see the surprise. It is a big cake. It has a label that says "Happy Birthday, Lena and Ben". It looks very yummy. + +But Lena and Ben do not get to eat the cake. They do not get to blow the candles. They do not get to make a wish. + +Their mom and dad are very sad. They see the broken puzzle. They see the toys on the floor. They see the label that says "For Lena and Ben". They see the twins crying and fighting. + +They do not see any calm or joy. They do not see any love or sharing. + +They take the cake away. They say "No cake for you. You have been very naughty. You have to learn to share and be nice. Go to your room. Now." + +Lena and Ben stop crying. They look at the cake. They look at each other. They feel very sorry. But it is too late. + +They have to go to their room. They have to stay there. They have no toys. They have no cake. They have no fun. + +They have a very bad birthday. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. Today is their birthday. They hope to receive a big gift from Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad come into their room with a big box. They say, "Happy birthday, Lily and Ben! We have a surprise for you. Open the box and see what is inside." + +Lily and Ben are very excited. They tear off the paper and open the box. Inside, they find a big toy road with many cars and trucks. They can make the road longer or shorter, and move the cars and trucks on it. They say, "Wow! Thank you, Mom and Dad! This is the best gift ever!" + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. We know you love cars and trucks. You can play with your toy road in the living room. But be careful not to break anything." + +Lily and Ben carry their toy road to the living room. They find a good spot to set it up. They have fun making different shapes and sounds with their toy road. They pretend to be tall drivers and honk their horns. They are very happy with their birthday gift. +Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books. She liked to make stories with her toys and act them out. Sometimes she was a princess, sometimes she was a doctor, sometimes she was a teacher. + +One day, she was playing with her blocks. She wanted to build a big tower. She put one block on top of another, and another, and another. She was very happy. She liked to see how high she could make her tower. She was very careful not to make it fall. + +But then, her brother Tom came into her room. He was bored. He wanted to play with Lily. He saw her tower and he wanted to knock it down. He thought it would be fun. He did not ask Lily. He ran to her tower and pushed it with his hand. + +Lily was very angry. She shouted at Tom. She said, "No, Tom, no! That is my tower! You are bad! You made it fall!" She cried. She felt sad. She loved her tower. She worked hard to make it. Now it was broken. + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I did not know you liked your tower so much. Can I help you make it again?" He picked up a block and tried to give it to Lily. + +But Lily did not want his help. She was still angry. She did not want to play with Tom. She took the block from his hand and snapped it in half. She said, "No, Tom, no! You are not my friend! You are mean! Go away!" She threw the broken block into the bin. She did not care that it was bright and pretty. She did not want it anymore. She wanted to be alone. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to pretend that they were selling things to each other. + +"Can I sell you this pin?" Sara asked Ben, holding up a shiny pin with a flower on it. "It is very pretty and you can put it on your shirt." + +"No, thank you," Ben said. "I do not want a pin. Pins are sharp and they can hurt. I want to sell you this car. It is very fast and you can make it go vroom vroom." + +Sara shook her head. "I do not want a car. Cars are loud and they can break. I want to sell you this pin. It is very nice and you can give it to your mom." + +They argued for a while, trying to sell each other their toys. They did not listen to each other and they did not agree. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a scary monster. They dropped their toys and ran to see what it was. + +They saw their dad, who was making a cake. He had spilled some flour and eggs on the floor and on his face. He looked very funny and messy. + +"Sorry, kids," he said. "I was trying to make a surprise for your mom, but I made a big mess. Can you help me clean it up?" + +Sara and Ben laughed. They forgot about their toys and their argument. They hugged their dad and said they would help him. + +They decided that they did not need to sell anything to each other. They had everything they needed: their toys, their dad, and their mom. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They see a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog is friendly and wags his tail. He comes to Sara and Tom and licks their faces. + +"Hi, doggy! You are so nice!" Sara says and hugs the dog. + +"Hi, doggy! You are so smelly!" Tom says and makes a funny face. + +The dog barks and wags his tail more. He likes Sara and Tom. He wants to play with them. + +"Can we play with the doggy, Mommy?" Sara asks her mommy, who is sitting on a bench. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. He might be lost. He has no collar or tag," Mommy says. + +"Maybe he has a home and a family, but he ran away," Tom says. + +"Maybe he is looking for them," Sara says. + +"Maybe we can help him find them," Tom says. + +They play with the dog for a while. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They rub his belly and he rolls over. They give him some water and a cookie. He is happy and so are they. + +Then they hear a voice. A loud voice. A voice that reminds them of someone. + +"Spot! Spot! Where are you, boy?" the voice says. + +They look around and see a man. A man with brown hair and a blue shirt. A man who looks like the dog. + +"Look, Mommy! It's the doggy's daddy!" Sara says. + +"Look, Mommy! He has the same fur and eyes!" Tom says. + +The man sees the dog and runs to him. He hugs him and kisses him. He is happy and so is the dog. + +"Spot! I've been looking for you everywhere! You ran away from the car when I stopped for gas. I was so worried!" the man says. + +"Thank you, kids, for taking care of my dog. He is my best friend. He is not smelly, he is just dirty. He needs a bath," the man says. + +"You're welcome, mister. He is a good dog. We had fun with him," Sara says. + +"He is a good dog. We like him," Tom says. + +They say goodbye to the dog and the man. They wave and smile. The dog barks and wags his tail. He is happy and so are they. +Lisa loved to pretend that she was a scientist. She had a microscope that her grandma gave her for her birthday. She thought it was a very special and gifted toy. She liked to look at different things under the microscope, like leaves, bugs, and hair. + +One day, she wanted to show her friend Ben her microscope. She invited him to her house after school. Ben was curious about the microscope, but he also liked to play with cars and trucks. He brought his favorite toy car with him. + +"Look, Ben, this is my microscope. It can make things look very big and clear. Do you want to try it?" Lisa asked. + +"Sure, Lisa, that sounds fun. What can we look at?" Ben said. + +Lisa thought for a moment. She saw Ben's toy car on the floor. She had an idea. + +"How about we look at your car? Maybe we can see the engine or the wheels better," she suggested. + +Ben frowned. He did not like Lisa's idea. He did not want to put his car under the microscope. He was afraid it might break or get dirty. + +"No, Lisa, I don't want to look at my car. It's fine the way it is. Let's look at something else," he said. + +Lisa was disappointed. She thought Ben would like her idea. She wanted to share her microscope with him. She did not understand why he did not want to look at his car. + +"But Ben, it's fun to pretend that we are scientists. We can learn new things and see amazing details. Don't you want to try it?" she asked. + +"No, Lisa, I don't. I just want to play with my car. It's my favorite toy. I don't want to mess with it," he said. + +Lisa and Ben started to argue. They both wanted to play with their own toys. They did not want to share or compromise. They raised their voices and made faces at each other. + +Soon, Lisa's mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the microscope and the car. She was not happy. + +"Lisa, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you yelling and making such a noise? You are supposed to be friends and play nicely," she said. + +Lisa and Ben stopped arguing. They looked at Lisa's mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We're sorry, mom. We were trying to play with the microscope and the car, but we couldn't agree on what to look at. Lisa wanted to look at my car, but I didn't. I wanted to look at something else, but she didn't. We got mad at each other," Ben explained. + +Lisa nodded. She realized that she was being selfish and stubborn. She did not think about Ben's feelings or preferences. She only wanted to do what she liked. + +"I'm sorry, too, mom. I wanted to share my microscope with Ben, but I didn't listen to him. I should have asked him what he wanted to look at. I should have respected his choice. I was being rude and bossy," Lisa admitted. + +Lisa's mom smiled. She was glad that they apologized and understood their mistakes. She hugged them both and gave them a gentle reminder. + +"It's okay, Lisa and Ben. I'm proud of you for saying sorry and being honest. It's good to share and pretend, but it's also important to be kind and respectful. You can have different interests and opinions, but you can still be friends and have fun. Why don't you try to find something that you both want to look at under the microscope? Or maybe you can take turns and look at both the car and something else. What do you think?" she suggested. + +Lisa and Ben looked at each other. They smiled and nodded. They agreed to try Lisa's mom's idea. They apologized to each other and hugged. They decided to look at a flower and a coin under the microscope. They also played with the car and made vroom sounds. They had a lot of fun and learned new things. They were happy and grateful for their toys and their friendship. They thanked Lisa's mom for her help and advice. They realized that they were both gifted and lucky. +Ben and Mia were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Ben said. "We can see the sky and the birds." + +"OK!" Mia said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and slippery." + +They took their backpacks and water bottles. They held each other's hands. They walked to the hill. They started to climb. + +The hill was hard to climb. Ben and Mia got tired and thirsty. They stopped to rest and drink some water. + +"Look, Ben!" Mia said. "There is a lazy cat on the hill. It is sleeping under a tree." + +Ben looked. He saw the cat. It was orange and fluffy. It looked very cozy. + +"Can we pet the cat?" Ben asked. "It is so cute." + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe the cat is not friendly. Maybe it will scratch us." + +They decided to leave the cat alone. They climbed some more. They reached the top of the hill. They were happy. They saw the sky and the birds. They saw their house and their garden. They saw the lazy cat still sleeping under the tree. + +They smiled at each other. They held each other's hands. They said, "We did it! We climbed the hill!" +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and games, but their favorite thing was the piano in the living room. They loved to make music and sing songs on the piano. + +One day, their mom told them she had a surprise for them. She said they had to find it by following the clues she left for them. She gave them the first clue: "Look for something that is hidden and has many colors." Sara and Ben were excited and ran to look for the surprise. + +They searched in their rooms, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, but they could not find anything that was hidden and had many colors. They were about to give up when Sara had an idea. + +"Maybe the clue is in the living room," she suggested. "Let's go and check the piano." + +They ran to the living room and looked at the piano. They saw that their mom had put a big blanket over it. They lifted the blanket and saw that the piano was covered with colorful stickers. There were stickers of animals, flowers, stars, letters, and numbers. They also saw a note from their mom that said: "Surprise! I hope you like your new piano. You can use the stickers to learn the notes and make your own songs. Have fun and be creative!" + +Sara and Ben were very happy and hugged their mom. They thanked her for the surprise and said they loved the piano. They started to play and sing with the stickers. They learned how to make different sounds and melodies. They had a lot of fun and felt proud of their music. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, the best surprises are hidden in plain sight. You just have to use your imagination and curiosity to find them. +Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a kitten in the park. The kitten was black and white and very cute. Tim and Sue wanted to pet the kitten, but they did not know if it was available. + +"Hello, kitten," Tim said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The kitten looked at Tim and Sue and meowed. It seemed friendly and happy. Tim and Sue smiled and moved closer to the kitten. + +But then, a big dog came running from behind a tree. The dog was brown and loud and angry. It barked and growled and chased the kitten. The kitten was scared and ran away. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Sue shouted. "Leave the kitten alone!" + +But the dog did not stop. It was faster than the kitten and caught it with its teeth. The kitten cried and scratched, but it was too late. The dog hurt the kitten and made it stop moving. + +Tim and Sue were scared and sad. They ran away from the dog and the kitten. They did not want to see what the dog did to the kitten. They wished they could have helped the kitten, but they could not. + +The end. +Sara and Ben loved to play with their toy penguins. They had many penguins of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them slide on the floor and pretend they were in the snow. + +One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had a picture of a giant penguin on it. Sara and Ben were very excited. They opened the box and saw a beautiful penguin made of glass. It was shiny and sparkly and had a red bow around its neck. + +"Wow, look at this penguin!" Sara said. "It's so pretty! Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "It looks very fragile. Maybe we should ask Mom first." + +But Sara did not listen. She grabbed the penguin and ran to the living room. She wanted to show it to her other toy penguins. Ben followed her, worried. + +"Be careful, Sara!" Ben said. "Don't drop it!" + +But Sara was not careful. She tripped on a rug and fell. The glass penguin flew out of her hands and hit the wall. It split into many pieces. Sara and Ben heard a loud crash. They looked at the broken penguin and felt very sad. + +"Oh no, Sara!" Ben said. "What have you done? Mom will be so mad!" + +Sara started to cry. She wished she had listened to Ben. She wished she had not touched the fragile penguin. She wished she could fix it. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. "I'm sorry, penguin. I didn't mean to break you." + +They hugged each other and hoped Mom would not be too angry. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to be more careful with things that can break. They learned to respect other people's belongings. They learned to say sorry when they make a mistake. +Lily and Ben were playing in the old barn. They liked to pretend they were brave explorers, looking for treasure and secrets. They found a big box full of old clothes and toys. They tried them on and laughed. + +"Look, I'm a mighty king!" Ben said, putting on a crown and a cape. "And you're my queen!" + +"No, I'm a mighty princess!" Lily said, wearing a dress and a necklace. "And you're my prince!" + +They argued and pushed each other. They did not want to share the box. They did not say sorry or be nice. + +Then they saw a shiny thing in the corner. It was a cobweb, but it looked like silver. They both wanted it. They ran to get it. + +"Mine!" Ben shouted, reaching for the cobweb. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted, pulling the cobweb. + +But the cobweb was not silver. It was sticky and icky. It attached to their hands and faces and hair. It made them feel yucky and itchy. They tried to get it off, but it was too hard. + +They cried and screamed. They wished they had not been greedy and mean. They wished they had shared the box and played nicely. + +But it was too late. The cobweb was stuck to them. They could not move or see. They were trapped in the old barn. + +The moral of the story is: Do not fight over things. Be kind and share with your friends. Or you might end up in a sticky mess. +One day, a boy and his mom went to the park. The boy liked to play on the swings and the slide. He saw some other kids playing with a ball. He wanted to join them, but his mom said no. + +"Mom, please, can I play with the ball?" the boy asked. + +"No, honey, you have to stay with me. The ball is not ours, and the other kids might not want to share," his mom said. + +"But mom, I can be nice and ask them. I can share too. Please, please, please," the boy begged. + +"No, honey, you have to resist. We have to go soon. Maybe next time we can bring our own ball," his mom said. + +The boy was sad and angry. He did not want to resist. He wanted to play with the ball. He thought he was clever. He had an idea. He waited until his mom was not looking. He ran to the other kids and grabbed the ball. He threw it high in the air and caught it. He laughed and smiled. + +"Hey, that's our ball! Give it back!" one of the other kids shouted. + +"No, it's mine now! I'm clever! I'm clever!" the boy said. + +The other kids were mad. They ran after the boy and tried to get the ball. The boy ran away, but he was not fast enough. The other kids caught him and took the ball. They pushed him and called him mean names. The boy cried and screamed. + +His mom heard him and came running. She saw what happened and was very upset. She scolded the boy and apologized to the other kids. She took the boy by the hand and left the park. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was not clever. I was bad. I did not resist. I'm sorry, mom," the boy said. + +"It's okay, honey. I forgive you. But you have to learn to resist. You have to listen to me. You have to be nice and share. That's what clever boys do," his mom said. + +The boy nodded and hugged his mom. He learned his lesson. He decided to resist next time. He decided to be a clever boy. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They pretend they are racing each other on a big track. They make noises like vroom and beep and screech. + +But then Tom's car stops moving. He looks at it and sees that it has no fuel left. He says, "Oh no, my car needs more fuel. Where can I find some?" + +Lily points to a bottle of water on the table. She says, "There is some fuel. You can use that." + +Tom thinks that is a good idea. He grabs the bottle and pours some water into his car. He says, "Now my car has fuel. I can race again." + +But when he tries to move his car, nothing happens. The water has made his car wet and broken. He says, "Oh no, this is not fuel. This is water. Water is bad for cars. My car is ruined." + +Lily laughs and says, "You are silly, Tom. Water is not fuel. Fuel is something else. You should have asked me first." + +Tom feels embarrassed. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know. I was in a hurry. I wanted to win the race." + +Lily says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, be careful. And don't use water for fuel." + +Tom says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And you are a good racer. You win the race." + +Lily says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend too. And you are a good racer too. Maybe we can fix your car later." + +They hug and smile. They are happy. They go to play with something else. +Ben and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big cactus with many sharp needles. Ben wants to touch it, but Mia says no. + +"Don't touch the cactus, Ben. It will hurt you. It is very sharp," Mia says. + +But Ben does not listen. He thinks Mia is stupid. He wants to see how the cactus feels. He reaches out his hand and grabs the cactus. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cries. He lets go of the cactus and runs to Mia. His hand is red and has many little holes. + +"Mia, help me! The cactus hurt me!" Ben says. + +Mia feels sorry for Ben. She takes him to the house and shows him to Mom. Mom washes his hand and puts a bandage on it. + +"Ben, you should listen to Mia. She is your sister and she knows better. The cactus is not a toy. It is a plant that lives in the desert. It has needles to protect itself from animals. You should never touch it or hang on it. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Ben nods his head. He is sorry for being silly. He hugs Mia and says thank you. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. You are not stupid. You are smart. Thank you for helping me," Ben says. + +Mia smiles and hugs him back. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. Next time, let's play with something else. Maybe we can play with the ball or the blocks," Mia says. + +Ben agrees. He and Mia go back to the garden and play with the ball and the blocks. They have fun and they are careful. They do not touch the cactus again. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They splash and laugh and make bubbles. They are friendly and share their toys. + +One day, a new boy comes to the garden. His name is Tom. He looks sad and shy. Sara and Ben want to be his friend. They say hello and ask him to play. + +"Hi, Tom. Do you want to play with us?" Sara says. + +"Yes, please. What are you playing?" Tom says. + +"We are playing with water and toys. It is fun. You can soak the toys and make them wet. Look, this is a duck. Quack, quack!" Ben says. + +Tom smiles and comes closer. He takes a toy and soaks it in the water. He makes a sound like a car. Vroom, vroom! + +Sara, Ben and Tom play together. They have a lot of fun. They are happy and friendly. + +The garden is not quiet anymore. It is full of laughter and noise. But it is a good noise. It is the noise of friends. +Tom is a bald man who likes to dance. He has a big body and a shiny head. He goes to a park where there is music and people. He sees a girl with long hair and a pink dress. He wants to dance with her. + +He walks to her and says, "Hello, I am Tom. Do you want to dance with me?" + +The girl looks at him and says, "No, thank you. I don't like your bald head. It is funny and weird. Go away." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He says, "My bald head is not funny and weird. It is cool and smooth. You are mean and rude. I don't want to dance with you." + +He turns around and walks away. He sees a boy with a hat and a blue shirt. He says, "Hello, I am Tom. Do you want to dance with me?" + +The boy looks at him and says, "Sure, I like your bald head. It is shiny and bright. You look happy and fun. Let's dance." + +Tom feels happy and excited. He says, "Thank you, you are nice and friendly. I like your hat and shirt. They are colorful and cool. Let's dance." + +They go to the music and start to dance. They shake their bodies and move their feet. They smile and laugh. They have a good time. Tom is glad he met the boy. He thinks he is his new friend. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside when it is snowing. They have a big yard with many trees and hills. They can make snowmen, snow forts and snow angels. + +One day, they wake up and see that it is snowing a lot. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They run outside with their shovels and buckets. They want to have fun in the snow. + +"Let's make a snowman!" Anna says. She starts to roll a big ball of snow. + +"OK, but I want to choose the face," Ben says. He looks for some rocks, sticks and a carrot. + +They work together and make a big snowman with a round body, a smaller head, two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two arms. They are happy with their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is different from the others," Anna says. She points to the other snowmen in the yard. Some have hats, some have scarves, some have buttons. + +"Yes, he is different and he is ours," Ben says. He gives the snowman a hug. + +They decide to name their snowman Bob. They play with Bob and their other snow toys until it is time to go inside. They say goodbye to Bob and promise to come back tomorrow. They hope that Bob will not melt. They love their snowman. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also have a secret. Under their bed, there is a big box. Inside the box, there is a hairy friend. His name is Bobo. He is a brown bear. He is very soft and cuddly. But he is also very shy. He only comes out when Tom and Mia are alone. + +One day, Mom and Dad are away. Tom and Mia decide to play with Bobo. They take him out of the box and hug him. They read him stories and sing him songs. They have a lot of fun. But they forget to close the door. + +Suddenly, they hear a knock. It is their cousin Lily. She is older than them. She likes to tease them and take their toys. She opens the door and sees Bobo. She screams. + +"Wow! What is that? A real bear? How did you get it? Can I touch it?" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They don't want Lily to touch Bobo. They don't want her to know their secret. They try to hide Bobo behind them. + +"No, Lily! Go away! This is our friend. You can't have him. He is not a toy. He is alive. He is shy. He doesn't like you." + +Lily is angry. She wants to see Bobo. She wants to touch him. She wants to take him. She pushes Tom and Mia aside. She reaches for Bobo. + +But Bobo is scared too. He doesn't like Lily. He doesn't like her voice. He doesn't like her hands. He growls. He shows his teeth. He scratches Lily's arm. + +Lily cries. She runs away. She tells Mom and Dad. They come to the room. They see Bobo. They are surprised. They ask Tom and Mia where they got him. They reveal their secret. They tell them how they found Bobo in the woods. How they brought him home. How they kept him under the bed. How they loved him. + +Mom and Dad are not happy. They tell Tom and Mia that Bobo is not a pet. That he belongs to the wild. That he needs a bigger space. That he can be dangerous. They tell them that they have to let him go. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They don't want to let Bobo go. They want to keep him. They want to play with him. They want to be his friends. + +But they also understand. They know that Bobo is not happy in the box. They know that he misses his family. They know that he deserves to be free. + +They hug Bobo. They say goodbye. They tell him that they will always remember him. They tell him that they will always love him. + +They put him back in the box. They take him to the car. They drive to the woods. They find a nice spot. They open the box. They let Bobo out. + +Bobo looks at them. He looks at the trees. He looks at the sky. He sniffs the air. He feels the wind. He hears the birds. He smiles. He is happy. + +He runs to the woods. He finds his family. He joins them. He is home. + +Tom and Mia watch him go. They wave. They smile. They are happy too. + +They go back to the car. They go back to their home. They go back to their room. They go back to their bed. + +They close their eyes. They fall asleep. They dream of Bobo. They wake up. They are still friends. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small bucket. They wanted to make a castle with the big bucket, but they had a problem. There was not enough sand near them. + +"Look, there is more sand over there," Sara said, pointing to a hill. "Let's go get some." + +"But we have to leave our buckets here," Ben said. "What if someone takes them?" + +"Don't worry, I promise no one will take them," Sara said. "We will be back soon." + +They left their buckets and ran to the hill. They filled their hands with sand and ran back. But when they came back, they saw something bad. Their buckets were gone! + +"Where are our buckets?" Sara cried. "Who took them?" + +They looked around and saw a boy and a girl playing with their buckets. They had made a castle with the big bucket and a moat with the small bucket. It was very impressive, but Sara and Ben were angry. + +"Hey, those are our buckets!" Ben shouted. "Give them back!" + +"No, they are ours now," the boy said. "We found them here. They are very nice." + +"That's not fair!" Sara said. "We left them here for a moment. We promised no one would take them." + +"Well, you shouldn't leave your things unguarded," the girl said. "That's your fault. Finders keepers." + +Sara and Ben felt sad and mad. They wanted their buckets back, but they didn't know what to do. They wished they had not left their buckets alone. They learned a hard lesson. They learned that promises are not enough to keep their things safe. They learned that they should always watch their things and not trust strangers. They learned that finders are not always keepers. +Lily liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. She was very good at finding places to hide, like under the bed or behind the sofa. But her favorite place was the closet in her room. It was dark and cozy, and she had a thick blanket to lay on. + +One day, she ran to the closet when Tom started to count. She opened the door and jumped inside. She lay down on the blanket and covered herself with some clothes. She smiled and waited for Tom to find her. She heard him look in the bathroom, the kitchen, and the living room. He could not find her. + +She was about to giggle when she heard a loud noise. It was the closet door. It slammed shut. She was scared. She tried to push the door, but it was too heavy. She yelled for Tom, but he did not hear her. She started to cry. + +Tom was puzzled. He had looked everywhere, but he could not find Lily. He wondered if she had gone outside. He went to her room to check. He saw the closet door. It was closed. He thought that was strange. He opened it. + +He saw Lily. She was crying and shaking. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said he was sorry. He did not know she was in the closet. He said he would never close the door again. He asked her if she wanted to play something else. She nodded. She was happy to see him. She said she loved him. He said he loved her too. They went to play with their toys. +Tom is a brave boy. He has a problem in his heart. He needs an operation to fix it. He is scared, but he loves his mom and dad. They hug him and say, "We are with you, Tom. You will be fine." + +The doctor is kind and gentle. He wears a mask and a hat. He says, "Hello, Tom. I am going to help you. You will sleep for a while, and when you wake up, your heart will be better. Do you have any questions?" Tom shakes his head. He trusts the doctor. He says, "Thank you, doctor." + +The nurse gives Tom a needle. It makes him sleepy. He closes his eyes. He dreams of playing with his dog and riding his bike. He does not feel any pain. The operation starts. The doctor and the nurse work hard. They fix Tom's heart. + +After some time, Tom wakes up. He sees his mom and dad. They smile and kiss him. They say, "You did great, Tom. The operation is over. Your heart is healthy. We are so proud of you." Tom feels happy and relieved. He says, "I love you, mom and dad. I am grateful for you and the doctor and the nurse. They saved my life." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today, it is very hot. They feel sweaty and tired. + +"Can we turn on the fan?" Sara asks Ben. "It will make us cool." + +Ben nods. He goes to the fan and pushes the button. The fan starts to spin. It makes a soft sound. It blows air on Sara and Ben. + +"Ah, that feels good," Sara says. She lies on the bed and closes her eyes. Ben lies next to her. He gazes at the ceiling. He sees a gray spider. It is crawling on the wall. + +"Look, Sara, a spider!" Ben says. He points at the spider. He does not like spiders. They are scary and hairy. + +Sara opens her eyes. She sees the spider too. She does not like spiders either. They are icky and creepy. + +"Let's make it go away," Sara says. She grabs a pillow and throws it at the spider. The pillow hits the wall. The spider falls down. It runs under the bed. + +"Good job, Sara!" Ben says. He claps his hands. He is happy. The spider is gone. + +Sara smiles. She is happy too. She hugs Ben. They are brave twins. + +They lie on the bed again. They feel the fan on their faces. They close their eyes. They fall asleep. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to sing and dance. They had a big show at their school today. They wore nice clothes and practiced their songs. They were very excited. + +When it was their turn, they went on the stage and smiled at the people. They sang a song about a cow who gave milk to a poor farmer. They moved their arms and legs like the cow and the farmer. The people liked their song and clapped their hands. Lily and Ben felt happy and proud. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben!" their teacher said. "You did very well. You can have some milk and cookies as a reward." + +"Thank you, teacher!" Lily and Ben said. They ran to the table and grabbed some milk and cookies. They shared them with their friends and thanked the people for clapping. They had a lot of fun at their show. +Ben and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and fight with sticks. They found a big stick that looked like a sword. Ben said, "I want the sword. I am the king." Sam said, "No, I want the sword. I am the dragon." They both pulled the stick and it broke in half. They were sad. + +A man saw them and came over. He had a real sword on his belt. He said, "Hello, little knights. Why are you sad?" Ben and Sam told him about the stick. The man said, "Don't worry. I have a gift for you. You can have my sword. It is a magic sword. It can change into anything you want. Just say the word and it will happen." + +Ben and Sam were happy. They thanked the man and took the sword. They said, "Wow, this is not a normal sword. This is a fun sword." They took turns saying words and watching the sword change. They said, "Bird, ball, cake, flower, hat, car, and more." They had a lot of fun with the magic sword. + +But then, Sam said, "End." The sword changed into a word. It said, "END." Ben and Sam were confused. They said, "What does that mean?" The man came back and said, "That means the magic is over. The sword can only change ten times. You used them all. Now it is just a word. I'm sorry, little knights. You have to give it back to me." + +Ben and Sam were sad again. They liked the magic sword. They gave it back to the man. The man said, "Don't be sad. You still have your imagination. You can pretend anything you want. You can be knights, or dragons, or anything else. That is the best magic of all." He smiled and left. + +Ben and Sam looked at each other. They said, "He is right. We can still play. We don't need a magic sword. We have each other." They hugged and ran to find new sticks. They played until it was time to go home. They were happy. The end. +Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to run up and down the hill and smell the flowers. They did not worry about their clothes getting dirty or torn. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Jill said, holding her brother's hand. + +"OK, Jill, let's go!" Ben said, following his sister. + +They ran up and down the hill, laughing and shouting. They smelled the flowers and picked some for their mom. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Jill felt dizzy. She had run too much and too fast. She fell down on the grass and closed her eyes. + +"Jill, Jill, are you OK?" Ben said, kneeling next to her. + +"I feel dizzy, Ben. I don't feel good," Jill said, opening her eyes. + +Ben was scared. He did not know what to do. He worried about his sister. He looked around and saw a house nearby. He saw a woman in the garden. He decided to ask for help. + +"Excuse me, miss, can you help us?" Ben said, running to the woman. + +The woman saw Ben and Jill. She saw their dirty and torn clothes. She saw Jill's pale face. She felt sorry for them. + +"Of course, I can help you. What happened?" the woman said, walking to them. + +"My sister is dizzy. She ran too much and too fast. Can you give her some water and a place to rest?" Ben said, holding Jill's hand. + +"Sure, sure. Come with me. I have some water and a couch in my house. Don't worry, she will be fine," the woman said, smiling. + +She took them to her house. She gave Jill some water and a blanket. She let them rest on her couch. She also gave them some cookies and milk. + +"Thank you, miss. You are very kind," Ben said, hugging the woman. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are very brave. You took good care of your sister. But next time, be careful when you play outside. Don't run too much and too fast. And don't forget to wear clean and nice clothes. You don't want to get sick or hurt, do you?" the woman said, patting his head. + +"No, miss, we don't. We learned our lesson. We will be more careful and more respectful. Thank you for teaching us," Ben said, nodding. + +Jill also thanked the woman. She felt better. She hugged her brother. They said goodbye to the woman. They took their flowers and went home. They told their mom what happened. Their mom was glad they were OK. She was proud of them. She also taught them the moral value of the story. + +The moral value of the story is: Don't worry, be happy, but also be careful and respectful. +Sara likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She has a dancer doll that she brings everywhere. The doll wears a pink dress and has long hair. + +One day, Sara goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big slide and wants to try it. She leaves her dancer doll on a bench and runs to the slide. She climbs up and slides down. It is fun! + +But when she goes back to the bench, her dancer doll is gone. Sara feels sad and scared. She looks around and sees a boy holding her doll. He is playing with it and pulling its hair. + +"Hey, that's my dancer doll!" Sara says. "Give it back to me!" + +The boy shakes his head. "No, it's mine now. I like it." + +Sara starts to cry.

She ran over to the sack and reached for the opening. + +"What could be inside?" she thought curiously. + +The girl opened the sack and peered inside. But, she couldn't see anything! It was too dark.

Mom said to the little girl, "Don't worry, it's just coming from the refrigerator." + +The little girl said, "What's in the refrigerator?" Mom said, "Oh, nothing to be frightened of. It's just the ice melting in the freezer." + +The little girl was still scared, so her mom said, "It's alright, why don't we go and relax in the living room". So they went and relaxed on the couch together. + +After a while, the little girl felt better and she was no longer scared. She realized that weird sounds were nothing to be frightened about. It was just the ice melting in the refrigerator! +Once upon a time there were two best friends, Lola and Sam.

But he had helped to keep it safe so that he could still look up at it every night and say hello. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack.

She said softly to Lucy, "Honey, you don't need to eat quite so much cereal. If you eat too much all at once it will make you ill." + +Lucy listened to her mom and realised that her mom was right, it was better to just eat a little bit each time, instead of a lot all at once. So from that day on, instead of attaching a spoon to her hand and eating all the cereal, she would only eat as much as she needed. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to remember to only eat as much as you need, and not too much in one go. +One day, Jen went out walking with her mum.

They were happy twins who loved their family and their history. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys on the table. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They were having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom said. + +"No, my car is faster!" Lily said. + +They raced their cars on the table, but Tom's car hit Lily's car and made it fall off the table. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. "You made my car fall!" + +"Sorry, sorry, it was an accident!" Tom said. "Here, I'll get it for you." + +Tom got off his chair and went to pick up Lily's car. But when he bent down, he saw something under the table. It was dark and furry and had big eyes. It was a cat! + +"Wow, look, a cat!" Tom said. "Come here, kitty, kitty!" + +Tom reached out his hand to pet the cat, but the cat did not like that. The cat hissed and scratched Tom's hand. Tom screamed and ran back to his chair. + +"Ow, ow, ow, the cat hurt me!" Tom said. "It's a mean cat!" + +Lily heard Tom scream and saw his hand bleeding. She felt sorry for him, but she also thought it was funny. She laughed and laughed. + +"Ha, ha, ha, you scared the cat!" Lily said. "That's what you get for making my car fall!" + +Tom did not think it was funny. He was angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He took his toys and went to his room. + +Lily stopped laughing when she saw Tom leave. She realized she was mean to him. She felt bad and lonely. She wanted to play with Tom again. She took her toys and went to his room. + +"Tom, Tom, I'm sorry I laughed at you," Lily said. "Are you okay? Can I see your hand?" + +Tom did not answer. He was still mad at Lily. He turned his back to her. + +"Tom, please, don't be mad at me," Lily said. "I was just joking. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom did not say anything. He did not look at Lily. + +Lily felt sad. She did not know what to do. She put her car on the table and said, "Here, Tom, this is your car. You can have it. It's a nice car. I'm sorry I said it was slow." + +Tom heard Lily's words. He looked at the car on the table. He liked the car. He liked Lily. He did not want to be mad at her. He turned around and said, "Thank you, Lily. That's very kind of you. I'm sorry I made your car fall. It's a nice car too. I'm sorry I scared the cat. It's a cute cat. I'm sorry I ran away. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, we can be friends again. I'm glad you're okay. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, I want to play with you. You're a good friend. Do you want to play with the cat?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Tom, I want to play with the cat. But we have to be gentle and quiet. Maybe the cat will like us then." + +Tom and Lily got off their chairs and went to the table. They looked under the table and saw the cat. The cat was sleeping. It looked peaceful and soft. Tom and Lily whispered to each other. + +"Shh, shh, the cat is sleeping," Tom said. + +"Shh, shh, let's not wake it up," Lily said. + +They reached out their hands slowly and carefully. They touched the cat's fur. The cat did not hiss or scratch. It opened its eyes and looked at them. It purred and rubbed its head against their hands. Tom and Lily smiled and laughed. + +"Look, look, the cat likes us!" Tom said. + +"Look, look, we made a new friend!" Lily said. + +They played with the cat on the table. They had fun and made noises. They were happy. +Lila and Tom were playing pirates in the park. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They put a stick with a cloth on it as a flag. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. + +They saw another boy with a shiny toy car. He was playing by himself on the bench. Lila and Tom wanted the car. They decided to steal it. They sneaked behind the boy and grabbed the car. The boy saw them and shouted, "Hey, that's mine!" + +Lila and Tom ran to their ship with the car. They laughed and said, "We are the best pirates ever! We have a treasure!" They put the car in their box and pretended to sail away. + +But the boy was not happy. He was angry and sad. He followed them and said, "Give me back my car! You are not pirates, you are mean!" He tried to take the car from the box, but Lila and Tom pushed him away. + +They started to fight. They pulled and tugged and yelled. The car fell out of the box and broke. The boy cried. Lila and Tom cried. They all felt sorry. + +They said, "We are sorry. We should not have stolen your car. We were impatient and greedy. Can we be friends?" The boy nodded. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. I have another car at home. Do you want to play pirates with me?" Lila and Tom smiled. They said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." They hugged and shared their hats and eye patches. They played pirates together and had a good time. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with ice-cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice-cream. + +"Can I have a cone with chocolate and vanilla, please?" Lily says. + +"Can I have a cup with strawberry and lemon, please?" Tom says. + +The ice-cream man gives them their ice-cream. They pay him with coins. They sit on a bench and eat their ice-cream. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily says. "I like chocolate and vanilla. They are sweet and creamy." + +"Yuck, this is sour!" Tom says. "I don't like strawberry and lemon. They make my face funny." + +Lily laughs at Tom's face. She thinks he looks silly. She takes a napkin and writes something on it. She shows it to Tom. + +"What does it say?" Tom asks. + +"It says, 'Tom is sour like lemon'," Lily says. + +Tom is not happy. He takes the napkin and writes something on it. He shows it to Lily. + +"What does it say?" Lily asks. + +"It says, 'Lily is sweet like chocolate'," Tom says. + +Lily is happy. She smiles at Tom. She thinks he is nice. They hug and share their ice-cream. They are friends again. +Anna loves to play with her violin. She has a small violin that her mom gave her for her birthday. She likes to make sounds with it and pretend she is a big musician. + +One day, she sees a man playing a violin on the street. He has a big violin and a hat with coins in it. He plays very fast and very loud. Anna wants to hear him better, so she kneels down next to him and watches him. + +"Hello, little girl," the man says. "Do you like my violin?" + +"Yes, I do," Anna says. "It is very smooth and shiny. Can I touch it?" + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "But be careful, it is very precious to me." + +Anna reaches out and touches the violin. It feels smooth and warm. She sees the strings and the bow. She wonders how the man makes them sound so nice. + +"Can you play it?" the man asks. + +"I can try," Anna says. "I have a violin at home, but it is smaller." + +The man smiles and hands her the violin and the bow. He helps her hold them right. He shows her how to move the bow across the strings. Anna tries to copy him. She makes some sounds, but they are not very good. She frowns. + +"Don't worry," the man says. "You are doing great. It takes a lot of practice to play the violin well. But you have a good ear and a good heart. Keep playing and you will get better." + +Anna smiles and thanks him. She gives him back the violin and the bow. She puts a coin in his hat. She says goodbye and runs back to her mom. She tells her mom about the man and his violin. She says she wants to play like him someday. + +Her mom hugs her and says she is proud of her. She says they can go to the music store and buy some books and a tuner for her violin. She says they can find a teacher for her too. She says she loves her very much. + +Anna is happy. She loves her mom and her violin. She can't wait to play more and learn more. She dreams of being a big musician someday. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with toys and books and string. One day, they find a big ball of string in the closet. They are very happy. + +"Look, Lily, we can make a necklace with the string!" Ben says. + +"Yes, and a bracelet and a ring!" Lily says. + +They start to make their jewelry with the string. They cut and tie and twist the string. They make pretty things for each other. + +"Here, Lily, this is for you. It is a necklace with a heart." Ben says. He puts the necklace around Lily's neck. + +"Thank you, Ben. It is very nice. This is for you. It is a bracelet with a star." Lily says. She puts the bracelet around Ben's wrist. + +They smile and hug each other. They are very happy. + +They play with the string until they are sleepy. They lie down on the floor with their toys and books and string. They close their eyes. + +"Good night, Lily. You are my best friend." Ben says. + +"Good night, Ben. You are my best friend too." Lily says. + +They kiss each other on the cheek. They fall asleep. They are very happy. +Lily was a little lamb who lived in a big barn with many other animals. She liked to play with her friends, but sometimes she felt bored. She wanted to see more of the world outside the barn. + +One day, she saw a hole in the fence and decided to sneak out. She ran across the field and saw many new things. She saw a pond with ducks, a hill with flowers, and a road with cars. She was curious and happy. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a big dog who saw her and wanted to chase her. Lily was scared and ran away. She did not know where to go. She missed her barn and her friends. + +She saw a farmer who was working in the field. He saw her too and called out to her. + +"Hey, little lamb, where are you going? You don't belong here. You belong in the barn with the other animals. Come here, I'll take you back." + +Lily was glad to hear his voice. She ran to him and he picked her up. He was kind and gentle. He carried her back to the barn and put her down. She saw her friends who were happy to see her too. They asked her where she had been and what she had seen. + +Lily told them about her adventure and how she had met a big dog and a nice farmer. She said she had seen many new things, but she also realized that the barn was her home and she belonged there. She said she was not bored anymore, but grateful. + +The other animals listened to her and nodded. They understood. They hugged her and said they were glad she was safe. They said they loved her and she belonged with them. Lily felt warm and happy. She smiled and said she loved them too. She said the barn was not boring, but cozy and fun. She said she was happy to be back. +Ben and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big crab on a rock. It had red claws and a hard shell. + +"Look, a crab!" Ben said. He wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Ben. It might pinch you," Lily said. She was afraid of the crab. + +Ben was not afraid. He went closer to the rock. He reached out his hand to the crab. The crab saw Ben and spread its claws. It made a loud click. + +"Ouch!" Ben said. He pulled back his hand. The crab had pinched his finger. It hurt a lot. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom said. She ran to Ben and saw his finger. It was pale and swollen. She took out a band-aid and put it on his finger. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. The crab was scared of you. It didn't want to be touched," Mom said. She hugged Ben and kissed his finger. + +"I'm sorry, too. I didn't know the crab was scared. I won't touch it again," Ben said. He looked at the crab. The crab looked at him. They both said sorry with their eyes. + +Lily came to Ben and gave him a shell. It was shiny and smooth. + +"Here, Ben. This is for you. It's a nice shell. You can keep it," Lily said. She smiled at Ben. + +"Thank you, Lily. It's a very nice shell. You are a good sister," Ben said. He smiled at Lily. + +They both went back to play in the sand. They left the crab alone on the rock. They had fun at the beach. +Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom has a big bear that can roar and Anna has a small cat that can meow. + +"Look at my bear, he is so strong and scary!" Tom says, holding his toy in the air. + +"My cat is not scared, she is smart and cute!" Anna says, cuddling her toy. + +They start to chase each other around the couch, making their toys roar and meow. They laugh and giggle as they run and hide. + +But then, they see something unknown on the table. It is a big book with a lot of letters and pictures. They are curious and want to see what it is. + +They climb on the couch and reach for the book. They open it and see many words and colors. They do not know what they mean, but they like to look at them. + +"Wow, this book is so pretty!" Anna says, pointing at a page with a rainbow. + +"What is this?" Tom asks, poking at a page with a star. + +They hear a voice from the book. It is a soft and friendly voice that says: + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to learn a spell?" + +They are surprised and excited. They look at each other and nod. + +"Yes, please!" they say together. + +The voice says: + +"Very well, then. Repeat after me: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." + +They repeat the words, trying to sound like the voice. They feel a warm and happy feeling in their hearts. + +The voice says: + +"Good job, little ones. You have learned a spell. Now, close your eyes and make a wish." + +They close their eyes and think of something they want. Tom wishes for more toys and Anna wishes for a real cat. + +The voice says: + +"Open your eyes and see what happens." + +They open their eyes and gasp. The book is glowing and sparkling. They see their wishes come true. Tom has a pile of new toys and Anna has a fluffy cat. + +They are so happy and amazed. They hug their new gifts and thank the voice. + +The voice says: + +"You are welcome, little ones. You have learned a spell and made a wish. But remember, this is a secret. Do not tell anyone about the book or the voice. It is our special bond." + +They nod and smile. They agree to keep the secret. They put the book back on the table and play with their new toys and cat. They do not notice that the book has a title: The Magic Book of Spells. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Sara has a new toy. It is a box with a lock. She can unlock it with a key. She shows Ben her toy. + +"Look, Ben, this is my new toy. It is a box with a lock. I can unlock it with a key. Do you want to see what is inside?" Sara says. + +"Yes, please. I want to see what is inside. Can I try to unlock it?" Ben says. + +Sara gives Ben the key. He tries to unlock the box. But he cannot. The key is stuck in the lock. He pulls and twists the key. But it does not move. He makes a knot with the key and the lock. + +"Oh, no. I cannot unlock the box. The key is stuck. I made a knot with the key and the lock. I am sorry, Sara. I broke your toy." Ben says. + +Sara is sad. She likes her toy. She wants to see what is inside. She does not like the knot. She tries to untie the knot. But she cannot. She needs help. + +"Ben, do not worry. It is okay. We can ask for help. Maybe mom or dad can untie the knot. They are good at knots. Come on, let us go and find them." Sara says. + +Sara and Ben go and find mom and dad. They show them the toy. Mom and dad see the knot. They smile. They are not angry. They are proud. + +"Sara and Ben, you are very clever. You made a very popular knot. It is called a Gordian knot. It is a very hard knot to untie. But we can try. Do you want to help us?" Mom and dad say. + +Sara and Ben nod. They want to help. They want to untie the knot. They want to unlock the box. They want to see what is inside. They work together with mom and dad. They have fun. They learn something new. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green plant with spikes. It was a cactus. + +"Look, Tom, a cactus!" Lily said. "It is so prickly. Do you think it hurts?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we should touch it and see," Tom said. He was curious. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it! Mommy said we should not touch the cactus. It can make us bleed," Lily said. She was scared. + +"But I want to touch it. It looks so cool. Maybe it is soft inside," Tom said. He was brave. + +Lily did not want Tom to get hurt. She wanted to encourage him to be obedient. She thought of something to say. + +"Tom, if you don't touch the cactus, I will give you a hug. And we can play with the ball. And we can have a snack. How about that?" Lily said. She smiled. + +Tom thought about it. He liked hugs and balls and snacks. He did not like bleeding. He decided to listen to Lily. + +"Okay, Lily, I won't touch the cactus. You are a good sister. Thank you for encouraging me to be obedient," Tom said. He hugged Lily. + +They ran to the ball and played happily. Mommy saw them and was proud. She gave them a snack and praised them for being good. They had a fun day in the garden. +Ben and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It was made of stones and dirt. It looked fun. + +"Let's go on the path!" Ben said. + +"OK!" Mia said. + +They ran to the path and started to follow it. They saw flowers and trees and birds. They were happy. + +But then, the path became steep and narrow. It was hard to walk on it. Ben and Mia started to feel scared. + +"Ben, I want to go back!" Mia said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +They tried to turn around, but they slipped and fell. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cried. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +No one heard them. The path was too far from the park. They were alone and lost. + +They wished they had stayed on the tidy grass. They wished they had listened to their moms. They wished they had a friend to lend them a hand. +Lily liked to write with her white crayon. She wrote her name, her mom's name, and her dog's name on the wall. She was very proud of her writing. She wanted to show her mom. + +She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. "Mom, mom, look what I did!" she said, holding her white crayon. "I wrote on the wall!" + +Her mom frowned and followed Lily to the wall. She saw the white writing on the blue paint. She was very angry. "Lily, what did you do? You ruined the wall! You can't write on the wall with crayons! That's very bad!" + +Lily felt sad and scared. She didn't know the wall was bad. She thought her mom would be happy. She dropped her white crayon and started to cry. "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry! I just wanted to write!" + +Her mom sighed and hugged Lily. "I know, honey, I know. But you have to write on paper, not on the wall. The wall is not for writing. The wall is for looking. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded, still crying. She understood, but she wished her mom was not angry. She wished she had a friendly wall that liked her writing. She wished she had a different crayon. She wished she had not written on the wall. +Lily and Ben are friends who like to play with a big red ball. They take turns to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounce the ball to each other and say "catch!" + +One day, they decide to have a contest. They want to see who can bounce the ball the most times without dropping it. They are eager to win and show their skills. + +Lily goes first. She bounces the ball once, twice, three times. She smiles and says "look at me!" But then the ball bounces too high and she misses it. The ball rolls away. Lily feels sad. + +Ben goes next. He bounces the ball once, twice, three times, four times. He laughs and says "I can do more!" But then the ball bounces too low and he drops it. The ball stops. Ben feels mad. + +They look at each other and realize they both bounced the ball the same number of times. They are both good at bouncing the ball. They are both winners. They feel happy. + +They hug and say "we have a tie!" They run to get the ball and bounce it together. They share the victory and the fun. They are friends who like to play with a big red ball. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They live in a big house with Mom and Dad. Tim is five and Sam is three. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. + +One day, Tim finds a smelly sock under his bed. He thinks it is funny. He runs to Sam's room with the sock. He says, "Sam, smell this! It is your sock! You are smelly!" + +Sam is angry. He does not like to be teased. He says, "No, it is not my sock! It is your sock! You are smelly!" He tries to grab the sock, but Tim is faster. He runs away with the sock. + +Sam chases Tim around the house. They run up and down the stairs, in and out of the rooms, and knock over some things. Mom and Dad hear the noise. They are not happy. + +They go to find Tim and Sam. They see them in the kitchen. Tim is holding the sock over Sam's head. Sam is jumping and crying. Mom and Dad say, "Stop! What are you doing?" + +Tim and Sam stop. They look at Mom and Dad. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad." + +Mom and Dad say, "Why are you teasing Sam with the sock, Tim? That is not nice." + +Tim says, "I was just playing. I did not mean to hurt Sam." + +Sam says, "He said I was smelly. That is not true." + +Mom and Dad say, "You are both not smelly. You are both clean and sweet. But the sock is smelly. It needs to go in the laundry. And you need to say sorry to each other and hug." + +Tim and Sam say sorry to each other and hug. They give the sock to Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love you, Dad." + +Mom and Dad say, "We love you, too. Now, let's clean up the mess and play nicely." +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new gate near the swings. It was big and shiny and had a sign that said "Keep Out". + +"Let's go see what's behind the gate!" Tom said. He ran to the gate and tried to open it, but it was locked. + +"No, Tom, we should not go there. The sign says we have to stay out. It is not for us," Lila said. She stayed on the swings and waited for Tom. + +"But I want to know what's there. Maybe it's something fun or cool. Maybe it's a secret garden or a treasure," Tom said. He looked around and saw a hole under the gate. He crawled through the hole and disappeared. + +Lila was scared. She did not know what to do. She wanted to help Tom, but she did not want to break the rule. She called Tom's name, but he did not answer. She started to cry. + +Soon, a man came to the gate. He was wearing a hat and a vest and had a big bag. He saw Lila crying and asked her what was wrong. + +"I lost my friend Tom. He went through the hole under the gate and did not come back. I don't know where he is," Lila said. + +The man frowned. He said, "That's very bad. Your friend should not have gone through the hole. That gate is for the workers who are building a new playground. There are many tools and machines and wires behind the gate. It is very dangerous for children. You did the right thing to stay out. Come, I will help you find your friend." + +The man took Lila's hand and went through the gate. He saw Tom lying on the ground. He was covered in dirt and had a cut on his arm. He was crying too. He had tried to touch a shiny metal thing and got a shock. It hurt a lot. + +The man picked up Tom and carried him to the gate. He gave him a band-aid and some water. He said, "You are very lucky. You could have been hurt much worse. You should never go to places where you are not allowed. You should listen to your friend and follow the rules. They are there to keep you safe and happy." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry. I was curious and silly. I won't do it again. Thank you for helping me. And thank you, Lila, for being a good friend." + +Lila hugged Tom. She said, "I'm glad you are okay. I was worried about you. Let's go back to the swings and play. They are fun and safe and for us." + +The man smiled. He said, "That's a good idea. Have fun, kids. And remember, stay away from the new gate until it is finished." + +Lila and Tom said goodbye to the man and ran to the swings. They played and laughed and filled their hearts with joy. They learned their lesson and never went near the new gate again. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She loved to stir the soup, the cake, and the salad. She felt like a famous chef when she wore her apron and hat. One day, her mom had a special guest for dinner. It was her uncle Ben, who was a famous writer. Lily wanted to impress him with her cooking skills. + +"Can I stir the wine, mom?" Lily asked, pointing to the bottle on the counter. + +"No, Lily, wine is not for stirring. Wine is for drinking. And wine is not for kids. Wine is for grown-ups," her mom said. + +"But why, mom? It looks like juice. And I like juice," Lily said. + +"Trust me, Lily, wine is not like juice. Wine is very strong and bitter. It can make you feel funny and sick. You don't want to drink wine, Lily. You want to drink water or milk or juice," her mom said. + +Lily was not convinced. She wanted to try the wine. She wanted to be like her mom and uncle Ben. She wanted to be a grown-up. She waited until her mom was busy in the oven. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. She opened it and poured some wine in a glass. She took a big sip and... + +"Yuck!" Lily spat out the wine. It was not like juice at all. It was sour and nasty. It burned her tongue and throat. It made her face red and hot. She felt dizzy and sick. She started to cry. + +"What's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked, hearing her cry. She saw the wine glass and the bottle. She understood what happened. She was angry and worried. She hugged Lily and took her to the couch. She gave her some water and a cookie. She called uncle Ben and told him what happened. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, uncle Ben. I was curious. I wanted to stir the wine. I wanted to be a grown-up. But I don't like wine. I don't want to be a grown-up. I want to be a kid. I want to stir the soup, the cake, and the salad. Can I still do that, mom?" Lily asked, feeling sorry and ashamed. + +"Of course, you can, Lily. You can still help me in the kitchen. You can still be a famous chef. But you have to listen to me, Lily. You have to follow the rules. You have to be careful and safe. You have to respect the things that are not for you. You have to be happy with who you are. You have to be a good kid, Lily. Do you understand?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you, mom. I love you, uncle Ben. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for being here," Lily said. + +"I love you, too, Lily. I love you, too, mom. And I'm proud of you, Lily. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that curiosity is good, but it has to be balanced with wisdom. You learned that growing up is not about doing things that are not for you, but about doing things that are right for you. You learned that being famous is not about impressing others, but about expressing yourself. You learned that being happy is not about having everything, but about appreciating everything. You learned that being a kid is a wonderful thing, and you should enjoy it while you can," uncle Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She felt better and wiser. She hugged her mom and uncle Ben. She was ready to stir the soup, the cake, and the salad. She was ready to be a kid. She was ready to be herself. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooking and baking. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. But they did not use the stove. The stove was hot and dangerous. Mom and Dad told them to never touch the stove. + +One day, Mom and Dad went to the store. They said they would be back soon. They said to be good and not make a mess. Tom and Anna said yes. But they did not listen. They wanted to play with the stove. They thought it would be fun. + +They turned on the stove and put a pot on it. They filled the pot with water and soap and toys. They stirred and stirred. They made bubbles and foam. They laughed and giggled. They did not see the smoke and the fire. + +The smoke and the fire made a loud noise. It was the alarm. It was scary. Tom and Anna stopped laughing. They started crying. They ran out of the kitchen. They saw Mom and Dad coming back. They saw the fire truck and the police car. They saw the people with hoses and helmets. They saw the smoke and the fire destroy the stove and the kitchen. + +Mom and Dad were angry and sad. They hugged Tom and Anna. They said they were glad they were safe. But they said they were very serious. They said they did a bad thing. They said they could have been hurt. They said they should never play with the stove. They said they were sorry. They said they loved them. But they said they had to learn a lesson. They said they had to help clean up and fix the kitchen. They said they had to be good and listen. Tom and Anna said yes. They said they were sorry. They said they loved them. They said they would never play with the stove again. +Tim and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they want to play with the same toy. It is a red car with a blue top. + +"Give me the car!" Tim says. He tries to take the car from Sue. + +"No, it is mine!" Sue says. She holds the car tight. + +They pull and tug on the car. They are angry and loud. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the car. + +"Stop!" Mom says. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Tim wants my car!" Sue says. + +"Sue wants my car!" Tim says. + +Mom looks at the car. She sees a sticker on the top. It has their names on it. + +"Look, this car is for both of you. It has Tim and Sue on the top. Can you share the car?" Mom says. + +Tim and Sue look at the top. They see their names. They feel silly. They stop fighting. + +"Sorry, Sue," Tim says. + +"Sorry, Tim," Sue says. + +They hug and smile. They share the car. They take turns to drive it. The car is light and fast. They have fun. + +Mom is happy. She hugs them and says, "I love you, Tim and Sue. You are good twins." +Tommy liked to sing. He had a microphone that his dad gave him. He sang songs every day in his room. He sang loud and happy. + +One day, his mom was very tired. She had a lot of work to do. She asked Tommy to be quiet for a while. She said, "Please, Tommy, shut your microphone. I need some rest." + +But Tommy did not listen. He was not a good boy. He was lazy. He did not want to do anything else. He kept singing and singing. He made a lot of noise. + +His mom got very angry. She went to his room. She took his microphone away. She said, "Tommy, you are very naughty. You did not shut your microphone. You did not let me rest. Now you have no microphone. Go to bed." + +Tommy was very sad. He cried and cried. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I love my microphone. Please give it back." + +His mom felt sorry for him. She said, "I love you too, Tommy. But you have to learn to be quiet sometimes. And you have to do other things too. Not just sing. Singing is fun, but not all the time. Tomorrow, you can have your microphone back. But only if you promise to shut it when I ask you. And to play with your other toys too. And to help me with some work. Do you promise?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "I promise, mom. I will be a good boy. I will shut my microphone when you say. I will play with my other toys. I will help you with some work. Thank you, mom." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "You're welcome, Tommy. Now go to sleep. Sweet dreams." + +Tommy went to sleep. He dreamed of singing. But he also dreamed of playing and helping. He was happy. He loved his mom. He loved his microphone. He was a good boy. +Mia and Leo were young friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big bag of seeds that they wanted to scatter for the birds. They walked around the grass and the trees, throwing the seeds in the air and on the ground. + +"Look, Leo, the birds are coming!" Mia said, pointing to the sky. She saw many birds with different colors and sounds. They flew down to the park and landed on the seeds. They pecked and chirped and flapped their wings. + +Leo nodded and smiled. He liked to watch the birds too. He tried to imitate their sounds and movements. He whistled and cooed and waved his arms. He hoped the birds would be his friends. + +But the birds did not like Leo's noise. They got scared and flew away. The park became quiet. There was only silence. Mia and Leo looked around and saw no birds. They felt sad and sorry. + +"Leo, why did you scare the birds?" Mia asked, frowning. She was angry with Leo. She wanted to see the birds more. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I just wanted to play with them. I didn't mean to scare them." Leo said, lowering his head. He was sorry too. He liked the birds as well. + +Mia sighed and hugged Leo. She forgave him. She knew he was not bad. He was just young and curious. + +"Maybe the birds will come back later. Let's go and play on the swings. Maybe we can see them from there." Mia said, pulling Leo by the hand. + +"Okay, Mia. Let's go. Maybe we can make them happy again." Leo said, following Mia. + +They ran to the swings and pushed each other. They laughed and sang and had fun. They looked at the sky and hoped to see the birds again. They were young friends who liked to play in the park. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big tower made of wood and rope. They want to climb to the top and see the sky. + +"Let's go to the tower!" Ben says. He runs to the tower and starts to climb. Anna follows him. + +They climb and climb until they reach the top. They look around and see the trees, the birds, the flowers and the clouds. They feel happy and proud. + +"Wow, this is so pretty!" Anna says. "Can you see the wild animals?" + +Ben looks and sees a squirrel, a rabbit and a duck. He points to them and says their names. + +"I see them! They are so cute!" Anna says. + +They hear a loud roar. They turn and see a big lion. The lion is angry and hungry. He wants to eat them. + +"Help! A lion!" Ben screams. He is scared. Anna is scared too. + +They run down the tower as fast as they can. They search for a safe place to hide. They see a slide and slide down. They see their mom and dad and run to them. + +"Mom! Dad! There is a lion in the park!" Anna says. + +"A lion? Where?" Mom asks. + +"Over there, by the tower!" Ben says. + +Mom and Dad look and see the lion. But the lion is not real. It is a man in a costume. He is part of a show for the children. He is not angry or hungry. He is friendly and funny. + +"Look, kids, it is not a lion. It is a man. He is playing with you. He is not going to hurt you." Dad says. + +Anna and Ben look and see the man. He waves and smiles. He takes off his costume and shows his face. He is nice and kind. + +"Hello, kids, I am sorry if I scared you. I am Leo, the lion. I am here to teach you about wild animals and how to protect them. Do you want to learn with me?" He says. + +Anna and Ben feel better. They are not scared anymore. They are curious and interested. + +"Yes, we want to learn!" They say. + +They go with Leo and see other animals. They learn their names, their sounds, their habits and their needs. They have fun and make friends. + +They thank Leo and say goodbye. They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them what they learned and what they saw. + +They are happy and smart. They love the park and the tower and the wild animals. They want to come back again. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go to the pond, mom?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, but be careful not to get wet," mom says. + +Tom and Lily run to the pond with some bread. They throw some pieces to the ducks and the fish. The ducks quack and the fish splash. Tom and Lily laugh and clap. + +"Look, Lily, that duck has a baby!" Tom says, pointing to a small duckling. + +"It's so cute!" Lily says. "Can we visit it?" + +They go closer to the pond to see the duckling. But they don't see the big rock near the edge. Tom trips on the rock and falls into the pond. Splash! + +"Tom!" Lily screams. + +Mom and dad hear Lily and run to the pond. They see Tom in the water, wet and scared. Dad jumps into the pond and lifts Tom out. Mom wraps Tom in a towel and hugs him. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" mom asks. + +"I'm okay, mom. But I'm wet and cold," Tom says. + +"Don't worry, Tom. We'll go home and dry you up. And maybe we can visit the duckling another day," mom says. + +Tom nods and smiles. He hugs mom and dad and says sorry. Lily hugs Tom and says it's okay. They all go home, happy and safe. +Lily was a big girl who liked to play with her dolls and her blocks. She was not afraid of anything, not even the dark or the loud noises. She always said, "I am brave, I am brave, nothing can scare me!" + +One day, Lily had to go to the doctor for a check-up. She was not worried, because she knew the doctor was nice and would give her a sticker. But when she got to the clinic, she saw a nurse with a big needle. The nurse smiled and said, "Hello, Lily, I'm here to give you a shot. It will only hurt a little, and it will keep you healthy." + +Lily did not like the needle. She thought it was dull and scary. She did not want the shot. She started to cry and scream, "No, no, no, I don't want the shot! Go away, go away, you scare me!" + +The nurse tried to calm her down, but Lily would not listen. She kicked and pushed and ran away. She hid under a table and refused to come out. The doctor and the nurse had to look for her and coax her out. They told her that the shot was not so bad, and that it was important for her to have it. They said they would give her a sticker and a lollipop if she was brave. + +Lily was still scared, but she also felt sorry. She knew she had been rude and mean to the nurse, who was only trying to help her. She also knew that the doctor and the nurse were right, and that the shot would make her feel better. She decided to be brave and face her fear. She came out from under the table and said, "I'm sorry, nurse, I was wrong. You are not scary, you are nice. Can I have the shot, please?" + +The nurse smiled and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily, I forgive you. You are a brave girl, and I'm proud of you. Here, let me give you the shot. It will be over in a second." She gave Lily the shot, and Lily barely felt it. She said, "Thank you, nurse, that was not so bad. Can I have my sticker and my lollipop now?" + +The nurse gave her a sticker and a lollipop, and the doctor gave her a high-five. They said, "Well done, Lily, you did great. You learned a valuable lesson today. Sometimes, things that look scary are not really scary, and sometimes, things that look dull are very important. You should always trust the people who care for you, and be polite and respectful to them. They are here to help you, not to hurt you." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I understand, doctor, I understand, nurse. I'm sorry I was scared, and I'm sorry I was rude. I will be brave and nice from now on. Thank you for helping me, and thank you for the sticker and the lollipop. I love you both!" + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy car. It was a red car that could make noises and move by itself. It had a battery inside that made it work. Tom and Lily liked to push the car and watch it go. + +But one day, the car stopped making noises and moving. Tom and Lily were sad. They looked at the car and saw that the battery was out. It had a wire that was broken. Someone had snapped the wire. + +"Who did this?" Tom asked. "Who was naughty and broke our car?" + +They looked around and saw their cat, Max. Max was sitting on the sofa, licking his paw. He had a guilty look on his face. + +"It was Max!" Lily said. "Max was naughty and snapped the wire. He wanted to play with the car too, but he did not know how. He hurt the car and made it stop." + +Tom and Lily were angry at Max. They went to the sofa and scolded him. + +"Bad Max!" Tom said. "You broke our car. You are a naughty cat. You have to say sorry." + +Max looked at Tom and Lily and meowed. He did not like to be scolded. He jumped off the sofa and ran away. + +Tom and Lily sighed. They loved Max, but he was sometimes naughty. They hoped he would learn to be nice to their toys. They picked up the car and the battery and went to their dad. They asked him to fix the wire and make the car work again. Dad smiled and said he would try. He gave them a hug and told them to be careful with their toys and their cat. Tom and Lily nodded and thanked him. They hoped their car would be okay. They hoped Max would come back and say sorry. They hoped they could all play together again. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play outside. They have a big yard with many rocks of different sizes and colors. Sometimes they make piles of rocks and pretend they are castles or mountains. They also like to see who can find the biggest or the prettiest rock. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. They each pick a spot in the yard and start looking for rocks. They want to increase their piles and make them higher than the other. They are very competitive and do not want to lose. + +"Look at my pile, Kim!" Tim says. "It is bigger than yours!" + +"No, it is not, Tim!" Kim says. "My pile is bigger than yours!" + +They keep arguing and adding more rocks to their piles. They do not notice that their mom is watching them from the window. She smiles and shakes her head. + +"Tim, Kim, come inside for a snack!" she calls. "It is time to stop playing with rocks!" + +The twins stop and look at their piles. They are both very high and almost the same size. They look at each other and shrug. + +"Maybe we can share our rocks," Tim says. + +"Maybe we can make one big pile together," Kim says. + +They agree and run inside to have their snack. They are still competitive, but they also like to cooperate. They love playing with rocks, but they love each other more. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. They wanted to go on the slide. But there was a problem. The slide was very high and they were very small. + +They saw a jacket on a bench. The jacket was red and blue. It looked warm and soft. Tom had an idea. He said, "Let's use the jacket to climb the slide. Maybe the jacket belongs to someone who is not here. Maybe they don't need it." + +Lily was not sure. She said, "But what if the jacket belongs to someone who is here? What if they get angry? What if they need it?" + +Tom said, "Don't worry. We will be quick. We will give the jacket back. Come on, it will be fun." + +They took the jacket and went to the slide. They used the jacket to help them climb. They reached the top and smiled. They were happy. They slid down the slide. They laughed. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was a man. He was angry. He said, "Hey, you! That's my jacket! Give it back!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They looked at the man. They recognized him. He was the park keeper. He was not nice. He was mean. He always shouted at the children. He did not like them to play in the park. + +They ran to the bench. They tried to give the jacket back. But it was too late. The jacket was torn and dirty. The man was very angry. He said, "You ruined my jacket! You are bad children! You have to pay for it!" + +He grabbed Tom and Lily by the arms. He dragged them to his office. He locked the door. He said, "You will stay here until your parents come. And they will have to pay for my jacket. And you will not play in the park again." + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried. They wished they had not taken the jacket. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had played somewhere else. They wished someone would help them. But no one was available. They were alone. They were in trouble. The end. +Lila was a lonely cat. She lived in a big house with no other cats or friends. She only saw her human when he gave her food or water. Sometimes he would pet her fur, but not for long. Lila wished she had someone to play with and cuddle with. + +One day, Lila saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was a red ribbon with a bell. She ran to it and pounced on it. The bell made a tinkling sound that made her ears twitch. She grabbed the ribbon with her teeth and started to twist it around. She felt happy and excited. + +Then she heard a voice. "Hey, that's mine!" It was a small boy who came into the room. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He looked at Lila and smiled. "You're a pretty cat. What's your name?" + +Lila dropped the ribbon and looked at the boy. She felt scared and curious. She did not know who he was or what he wanted. She meowed softly. + +The boy came closer and reached out his hand. "Don't be afraid. I'm Ben. I'm here to visit my grandpa. He's your human. Can I pet you?" + +Lila sniffed his hand and felt his warmth. He smelled nice and friendly. She rubbed her head against his palm and purred. He stroked her fur gently and scratched her chin. She felt happy and relaxed. + +"Can I play with you?" Ben asked. "I have more toys for you. Do you like balls and feathers and mice?" + +Lila nodded and meowed louder. She liked those things very much. She followed Ben to his room and saw many toys on the floor. He threw a ball for her and she chased it. He waved a feather for her and she jumped to catch it. He squeaked a mouse for her and she batted it. They played and laughed for a long time. + +Lila was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend. She hoped he would come back soon. She liked him and his toys and his voice. She twisted the ribbon around her neck and wore it like a collar. It was a gift from Ben. She felt happy and loved. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They were polite and shared the blocks with each other. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. It was an earthquake! The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. Lily and Tom were scared and hugged each other. + +"Mama! Papa!" they cried. + +Their parents came running from the kitchen. They saw the mess in the living room and the frightened children. + +"Don't worry, it's over now. It was just an earthquake. It happens sometimes. Are you okay?" Mama said. + +"Yes, we're okay. But our blocks!" Tom said. + +"It's okay, we can put them back together later. Right now, we need to go outside and check if everything is safe. Come on, let's go." Papa said. + +He took Lily's hand and Mama took Tom's hand. They went outside and saw some cracks on the walls and some broken pots. But they also saw their neighbors and friends, who were also outside. They smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, are you all right?" Mama asked. + +"Yes, we're fine. How about you?" a neighbor said. + +"We're fine too. Just a little shaken. But we're glad you're safe." Papa said. + +They talked for a while and helped each other clean up the mess. Lily and Tom saw some other children who were also playing with blocks. They decided to join them and make new friends. They were polite and shared their blocks with them. They forgot about the earthquake and had fun. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a sign that says "Bread". The truck stops near the park and the driver gets out. + +"Hello, kids," the driver says. "Do you want to see how I make bread?" + +Tim and Lily nod. They are curious. The driver opens the back of the truck. He shows them a big bowl of dough. The dough is soft and sticky. + +"This is dough," the driver says. "I mix flour and water and yeast to make it. Then I let it rise. Do you want to touch it?" + +Tim and Lily say yes. They reach for the dough. They feel it with their fingers. It is fun to squeeze and stretch the dough. + +"Can we make something with the dough?" Tim asks. + +"Sure," the driver says. "You can make anything you want. How about a bunny?" + +Tim and Lily like bunnies. They hop like bunnies sometimes. They take some dough and shape it into a bunny. They make ears and eyes and a tail. They are proud of their dough bunnies. + +"Look, we made bunnies!" Lily says. + +"They are very cute," the driver says. "But they are not ready yet. We have to bake them in the oven. The oven is hot and makes the dough hard and brown. Then we can eat them." + +Tim and Lily are excited. They want to eat their bunnies. They follow the driver to the oven. He puts their bunnies on a tray and slides them into the oven. He sets a timer. + +"We have to wait for a few minutes," he says. "Then the bunnies will be done. Do you want to play while we wait?" + +Tim and Lily say yes. They hop out of the truck and go to the park. They hop on the grass and the swings and the slide. They pretend they are bunnies. They have fun. + +Soon, they hear a beep. The timer is ringing. The driver calls them. + +"Your bunnies are ready!" he says. + +Tim and Lily hop back to the truck. They smell the bread. It smells good. The driver takes out the tray and shows them their bunnies. They are hard and brown and have a mild crust. + +"Be careful, they are hot," he says. "But you can have a bite if you want." + +Tim and Lily thank the driver. They take their bunnies and break off a piece. They taste the bread. It is warm and soft and yummy. + +"Mmm, this is good," Tim says. + +"I like it," Lily says. + +They smile and share their bunnies. They are happy. They made bread with the driver. They learned something new. They had a good day. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new slide. It is big and shiny. Sara and Ben want to try it. + +"Let's go to the new slide!" Sara says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the new slide. They wait for their turn. They see other kids slide down. They look happy and excited. + +"It looks fun!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it does!" Ben says. + +Finally, it is their turn. Sara goes first. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She slides down. She laughs and smiles. + +"Wow, that was great!" Sara says. + +Ben goes next. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down. But he slides too fast. He loses his balance. He falls off the slide. He hits his head on the ground. He cries and screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. + +Sara runs to him. She sees blood on his head. She is scared and sad. + +"Ben, are you OK?" Sara says. + +"No, I'm not OK!" Ben says. + +Sara hugs him. She calls for help. She wishes they did not join the new slide. She wishes they played something else. She wishes Ben was not hurt. She wishes the new slide was not there. +Tom and Sue were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a rabbit with long ears and a long tail. The rabbit was eating some grass. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Tom said. "Let's catch it and play with it!" + +Sue nodded. They ran after the rabbit. The rabbit saw them and ran away. It ran into a hole under a big tree. + +"Come out, rabbit!" Sue shouted. "We want to be your friends!" + +But the rabbit did not come out. It was scared of Tom and Sue. It shut its eyes and hoped they would go away. + +Tom and Sue tried to dig the hole with their hands. But the hole was too deep and too dark. They could not see the rabbit. + +"Maybe the rabbit is sleeping," Tom said. "Maybe we should let it sleep." + +Sue agreed. They stopped digging and sat on the grass. They felt a little sad. + +"Sorry, rabbit," Sue said. "We did not mean to scare you. We just wanted to play with you." + +They heard a soft noise from the hole. It was the rabbit. It opened its eyes and peeked out. It saw Tom and Sue sitting quietly. They looked nice and friendly. + +The rabbit came out of the hole. It hopped to Tom and Sue. It sniffed them and rubbed its nose on them. It let them touch its long ears and its long tail. + +Tom and Sue smiled. They were happy. They had a new friend. + +"Hello, rabbit," Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The rabbit nodded. It liked Tom and Sue. They played together in the garden. They ran and jumped and laughed. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big train on the tracks. The train had a lot of steam coming out of its nose. It looked like a dragon. + +"Wow, look at the train!" Tom said. "It is so big and loud!" + +"Can we go and see it?" Lily asked. "It looks nice." + +Tom and Lily ran to the fence that separated the park from the tracks. They saw a sign that said "Do not enter". But they did not know what it meant. They wanted to see the train up close. + +They climbed over the fence and ran to the train. The train driver saw them and shouted. + +"Hey, kids, get away from the train! It is dangerous!" + +But Tom and Lily did not hear him. They were too excited. They touched the train and felt how hot it was. They saw the steam and tried to catch it with their hands. + +Suddenly, the train whistle blew. It was very loud and scary. Tom and Lily jumped and screamed. They realized they were in trouble. They ran back to the fence. But the fence was too high for them to climb. They were stuck. + +The train driver came out of the train and walked to them. He was angry and worried. + +"What are you doing here? Don't you know you are not supposed to enter the tracks? You could have been hurt by the train or the steam!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to see the train. + +"We are sorry, sir," Tom said. "We did not know. We thought the train was nice." + +"The train is nice, but only from a distance," the train driver said. "You have to respect the signs and the rules. They are there to keep you safe. Now, come with me. I will take you back to the park and find your parents." + +Tom and Lily nodded and followed the train driver. They learned their lesson. They never entered the tracks again. They still liked the train, but they watched it from the park. They knew it was better to be safe than sorry. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they did not like to go to the doctor. The doctor gave them shots and looked in their ears and mouth. It made them uncomfortable. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the doctor again. It was time for their check-up. They had to do it every year. Lily and Ben did not want to go. They cried and hid under the bed. + +"Come on, sweeties, it won't be so bad," their mom said. "The doctor is nice and gentle. He will give you a sticker and a lollipop when you are done. And then we can go to the park and have ice cream." + +Lily and Ben peeked out from under the bed. They liked stickers and lollipops. They liked the park and ice cream. But they still did not like the doctor. + +"Please, mom, can we skip the doctor this year?" Lily asked. + +"Yeah, can we?" Ben echoed. + +"No, you can't," their mom said. "The doctor needs to see how you are growing and healthy. It's important. Don't worry, it will be over soon. And then we can have fun." + +Lily and Ben sighed. They knew their mom was right. They crawled out from under the bed and put on their shoes and coats. They held their mom's hand as they walked to the car. + +They hoped the doctor would be quick and gentle. They hoped they would get nice stickers and lollipops. They hoped they would not have to return to the doctor until next year. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll that could talk and sing. Max had a small car that could zoom and beep. Lily liked her doll very much. She said it was expensive and special. Max liked his car very much. He said it was fast and fun. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Max asked Lily. + +"No, you can't. It's mine and it's expensive. You might break it or lose it." Lily said. + +"Please, Lily. Just for a little bit. I'll be careful." Max begged. + +"No, Max. Go play with your car. It's boring and cheap." Lily said. + +Max felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with the doll. He thought Lily was mean and selfish. He had an idea. He took his car and drove it towards Lily's doll. He hit the doll's nose with his car. The doll's nose fell off and the doll stopped talking and singing. + +"Max! What did you do? You broke my doll! You quit it!" Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to play with it." Max said. + +"You're a bad brother! You ruined my expensive and special doll! I hate you!" Lily yelled. + +Lily and Max started to fight. They pulled each other's hair and kicked each other's legs. They made a lot of noise and mess. + +Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw the broken doll, the scratched car, and the crying children. She was very upset and disappointed. + +"Lily and Max, stop it right now! What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why did you break your toys?" Mom asked. + +Lily and Max tried to explain, but they both blamed each other. Mom didn't listen. She took away their toys and sent them to their rooms. She said they had to learn to share and be nice. + +Lily and Max felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they had not quit the doll's nose and the car's paint. They wished they had not hurt each other's feelings. They wished they had said sorry and hugged. They learned a lesson. They decided to be better siblings. They decided to love their toys and each other. +Lily liked to bake. She liked to mix flour and eggs and sugar and make cakes and cookies. She liked to decorate them with icing and sprinkles and share them with her friends. But her dad did not like to bake. He was a fisherman. He liked to catch fish and cook them on the fire. He liked to eat them with salt and lemon and bread. + +One day, Lily wanted to bake a cake for her dad's birthday. She asked her mom to help her. They went to the store and bought all the things they needed. They came back home and started to bake. Lily was very happy. She hoped her dad would like her cake. + +But when her dad came home, he saw the cake and frowned. He did not like cakes. He said they were too sweet and sticky. He said he wanted fish for his birthday, not cake. He said he was a fisherman, not a baker. He said he and Lily were different. + +Lily felt sad. She did not understand why her dad did not like her cake. She had made it with love and care. She wanted to make him happy. She said, "But dad, I like to bake. I like to make cakes and cookies. I like to share them with you. I am your daughter, not a fisherman. I am different, but I love you." + +Her dad looked at her and felt sorry. He realized he had hurt her feelings. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I do like your cake. It looks very nice and yummy. You are a very good baker. You are different, but I love you too. You are my daughter, and I am proud of you." + +They smiled and cut the cake and ate it together. They both agreed it was delicious. They also agreed that being different was not bad. It was good. It made them special. They learned to appreciate each other's hobbies and tastes. They decided to try new things together. Sometimes they baked, and sometimes they fished. They had fun and they were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They liked to gather flowers and leaves and make crowns and necklaces. One day, they saw a big pot with some dirt and a small plant in it. The plant had green leaves and yellow flowers. + +"Look, a plant!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, we can't. That's Grandma's plant. She loves it very much. She says it is very old and rare. She waters it every day and talks to it. She says it makes her happy." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the plant and smell the flowers. She thought Grandma would not mind if she played with it a little bit. She reached out her hand and pulled one of the flowers. + +"Ouch!" the plant said. Lily and Tom were shocked. They had never heard a plant talk before. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm a plant, of course. And you are a naughty girl. Why did you hurt me? Don't you know that flowers are part of me? They are not toys for you to gather and break. They are my beauty and my joy. How would you like it if I pulled your hair or your ears?" + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt the plant. She did not know that flowers were alive and could feel pain. She apologized to the plant and put the flower back. + +"I'm sorry, plant. I didn't know. I won't do it again. Please forgive me." + +The plant sighed. "It's okay, child. I forgive you. But you must learn to respect all living things. They are not here for your amusement. They are here for their own purpose and happiness. You can admire them and love them, but you must not harm them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to be kind and gentle to all living things. She hugged the plant and said thank you. The plant smiled and said you're welcome. + +Tom was proud of Lily. He was glad that she listened to the plant and said sorry. He also learned something that day. He learned that plants can talk and have feelings. He wondered what else they could do. He decided to talk to Grandma and ask her more about her old and rare plant. He thought Grandma would be happy to share her stories and secrets. He took Lily's hand and they went to find Grandma. They had a lot of questions and a lot of things to learn. +Sara was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. She felt helpless and sad. She did not want to play with her toys or watch her favorite show. She only wanted to sleep and cuddle with her teddy bear. + +Her mom came to her room with a spoon and a bottle. "Sara, you need to take your medicine," she said. "It will make you feel better." + +Sara shook her head. She did not like medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She made a face and hid under the blanket. "No, no, no," she said. "I don't want it." + +Her mom smiled and sat on the bed. She pulled the blanket away and tickled Sara's tummy. Sara giggled and squirmed. "Stop, stop, stop," she said. "That tickles." + +Her mom stopped and hugged her. "I know you don't like medicine, but it's good for you," she said. "How about this? If you take your medicine, I will read you a story. Your favorite story. The one about the princess and the dragon." + +Sara loved that story. She wanted to hear it again. She looked at her mom and nodded. "Okay, okay, okay," she said. "I will take my medicine." + +Her mom gave her a spoonful of medicine and a glass of water. Sara swallowed it and made a face. It was bitter and yucky. But she did not cry or spit it out. She was brave. She knew it would make her feel better. + +Her mom praised her and kissed her forehead. "Good girl, Sara," she said. "You did it. Now, let's enjoy your story." + +She opened the book and started to read. Sara snuggled with her teddy bear and listened. She forgot about her cough and her sore throat. She imagined she was the princess and her mom was the dragon. She smiled and enjoyed the story. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box of screws in the garage. They thought they could use them to make something fun. + +"Let's plan a surprise for mom and dad," Lily said. "We can use the screws to decorate the wall." + +"That sounds good," Ben agreed. "We can make a picture with the screws." + +They took some screws and a hammer and went to the living room. They started to hammer the screws into the wall, making shapes and patterns. + +But mom and dad were not happy when they saw what Lily and Ben had done. They were very angry. They shouted at them and told them to stop. + +"What are you doing?" mom asked. "You are ruining the wall!" + +"We wanted to make a surprise for you," Lily said. "We used the screws to make a picture." + +"That is not a picture, that is a mess," dad said. "You could have hurt yourselves or damaged the house. Screws are not toys. They are tools. You should never play with them without asking." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They apologized to mom and dad and helped them to fix the wall. + +They learned that they should always ask before using something that is not theirs. They also learned that some things are not safe or suitable for playing. They decided to plan a different surprise for mom and dad, using paper and crayons instead. +Tom and Sue were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was old and brown and had spots on it. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Tom said. "Can I touch it?" + +"No, don't touch it!" Sue said. "It might be bad. Mom said some mushrooms can make you sick." + +"But I want to see it!" Tom said. He ran to the mushroom and poked it with his finger. + +Suddenly, the mushroom sprayed a cloud of dust in Tom's face. He coughed and sneezed and rubbed his eyes. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Sue ran to Tom and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom!" Sue said. "I should have stopped you. Are you okay?" + +Tom shook his head. He was not okay. He felt dizzy and hot and his nose was running. + +"Mom! Mom!" Sue shouted. "Help! Tom touched a bad mushroom and it sprayed him!" + +Mom heard Sue and came to the garden. She saw Tom and Sue and the mushroom. She was worried and angry. + +"Oh, no, Tom!" Mom said. "What have you done? You know you should never touch mushrooms without asking me. They can be very dangerous. Come on, let's go inside and wash your face and call the doctor." + +Mom took Tom and Sue inside. She washed Tom's face and gave him some water and medicine. She called the doctor and told him what happened. The doctor said Tom would be fine, but he had to rest and stay away from mushrooms. + +Tom felt better after a while. He was sorry and ashamed. He hugged Mom and Sue and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sue. I was silly and curious. I won't touch mushrooms again. I love you." + +Mom and Sue hugged Tom and said they loved him too. They were glad he was okay. They learned a lesson about mushrooms and spray. +Anna likes to play with her doll. She gives her doll a name. She calls her doll Lily. Lily has a pink dress and long hair. Anna thinks Lily is very pretty. + +One day, Anna and Lily go to the park. They see a big dog. The dog is hairy and brown. The dog runs to Anna and Lily. Anna is scared. She hugs Lily and says, "Go away, dog! You are too big and hairy!" + +But the dog is friendly. He does not want to hurt Anna and Lily. He wants to play with them. He wags his tail and licks Anna's face. Anna feels the dog's tongue. It is wet and warm. Anna laughs. She is not scared anymore. She says, "Hello, dog! You are very nice and funny!" + +The dog's owner comes to the park. He sees Anna and the dog. He smiles. He says, "I'm sorry, my dog scared you. His name is Max. He likes children and dolls. Can he play with you?" + +Anna smiles too. She says, "Yes, he can play with us. My name is Anna and this is Lily. She is my doll. We like Max. He is very hairy and friendly!" + +Anna, Lily, Max and the dog's owner play together in the park. They have a lot of fun. Anna thinks this is a good day. She is happy. +Tom and Mia love to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to race them on the floor and see who is faster. Sometimes they make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they see a new car in the toy store. It is big and shiny and has lights and sounds. It is the most incredible car they have ever seen. They both want it very much. They ask their mom if they can have it, but she says it is too expensive. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They go home and play with their old cars. They try to have fun, but they still think about the new car. They admire it in their minds and wish they could have it. + +The next week, they see a poster in the toy store. It says there is a contest for the best car drawing. The prize is the incredible car. Tom and Mia are excited. They love to draw. They go home and get their crayons and paper. They draw their best cars. They use many colors and details. They are very proud of their drawings. + +They take their drawings to the toy store and give them to the lady. She smiles and says they are very good. She puts them on the wall with the other drawings. There are many drawings, but Tom and Mia think theirs are the best. + +The next day, they go back to the toy store. They see a big crowd around the wall. They push through and look for their drawings. They see a ribbon on one of them. It is Tom's drawing. He has won the contest. He has won the incredible car. + +Tom is very happy. He jumps and cheers. He hugs his mom and thanks the lady. He takes the car and holds it in his arms. He feels like he is dreaming. + +Mia is happy for Tom. She claps and smiles. She admires his drawing and his car. She is proud of her brother. She gives him a kiss and says he deserves it. + +Tom and Mia go home and play with the car. They share it and take turns. They have a lot of fun. They are the best friends. They are very lucky. They love their cars. +Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls in the living room. They had a tea party with cups and plates and cookies. Anna had a pink doll with a dress and a hat. Ben had a blue doll with a shirt and pants. + +"Your doll is ugly," Anna said to Ben. "She has no hair and her eyes are weird. You should replace her with a better doll." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He liked his doll very much. She was a gift from his grandma. He did not want to replace her. + +"No, she is not ugly," Ben said to Anna. "She is special and pretty. You are mean and rude. You should replace your doll with a nicer doll." + +Anna felt mad and hurt. She loved her doll very much. She was a gift from her mom. She did not want to replace her. + +They started to yell and pull each other's dolls. They did not want to share or play nicely. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over their dolls. She felt disappointed and worried. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you not playing nicely?" + +"Anna said my doll is ugly and I should replace her," Ben said. + +"Ben said my doll is mean and I should replace her," Anna said. + +Mom sighed and picked up both dolls. She looked at them carefully. + +"These dolls are both lovely and special," Mom said. "They are gifts from people who love you. You should not say bad things about them or try to take them away. You should be kind and respectful to each other and your toys." + +She gave the dolls back to Anna and Ben. + +"Now, I want you to apologize to each other and say something nice about each other's dolls," Mom said. "Then you can continue your tea party or play something else. But if you fight again, I will be the judge and take away your dolls for the rest of the day. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt uncomfortable and sorry. They did not want to lose their dolls or make Mom angry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "Your doll is special and pretty. I like her eyes. They are like stars." + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "Your doll is lovely and nice. I like her hat. It is like a flower." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to play something else. They put away their cups and plates and cookies. They took their dolls and went to the backyard. They played with the swing and the slide and the ball. They had fun and did not fight anymore. Mom was happy and proud. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in. They would take turns driving and honking the horn, pretending they were in a real car. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She put them in their car seats and drove to the street. There was a lot of traffic, and the car moved very slowly. Tom and Anna were restless. They wanted to play with their big red car, not sit in the boring car. + +"Mom, can we play with our car?" Tom asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. We have to go to the store first. Maybe later, okay?" Mom said. + +"But we want to play now!" Anna whined. + +"Please be patient, honey. We'll be there soon." Mom said. + +Tom and Anna were not happy. They started to fight over their car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Mom tried to calm them down, but they did not listen. They were so loud and angry that they did not notice the traffic light changing from green to red. + +Suddenly, a big truck came from the other side and hit their car. The car spun and crashed. Mom screamed. Tom and Anna felt a lot of pain. Their car was broken. Their toys were scattered. Their mom was hurt. They were scared and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: Do not fight over your toys. Listen to your mom. Be careful in traffic. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They are hungry and want to eat some. + +"Look, Ben, berries!" Anna says. "Let's pick some and eat them." + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. Some berries are bad and make you sick." Ben says. + +They go to the bush and pick some berries. They are sweet and juicy. They eat and eat until their mouths are red. + +"Yum, these are good berries!" Anna says. + +"Shh, Anna, I hear someone coming. Let's hide behind the bush and eat more." Ben says. + +They hide behind the bush and eat more berries. They do not see the man who comes to the park. He is the owner of the bush. He grows the berries for his shop. He is angry when he sees his bush is empty. + +"Hey, who ate all my berries? Where are they?" He shouts. + +He looks around and sees Anna and Ben behind the bush. They are scared and stop eating. + +"Uh-oh, he found us!" Anna says. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben says. + +They drop the berries and run away. The man chases them and yells at them. + +"Stop, you naughty kids! You stole my berries! Come back here!" He says. + +Anna and Ben run as fast as they can. They reach the gate of the park and escape. They are safe but sad. + +"We are sorry, mister. We did not know they were your berries." Anna says. + +"We just wanted to eat some. They were so good." Ben says. + +They look at each other and hug. They are still friends. They decide to never eat berries from the park again. They go home and tell their moms what happened. Their moms are not happy but they forgive them. They give them some cookies and milk. They are happy again. +Tom and Amy are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big pot in the kitchen. They want to make soup. + +"What do we need for soup?" Tom asks. + +"We need water, and carrots, and salt, and noodles," Amy says. + +They fill the pot with water from the tap. They cut some carrots with a plastic knife. They pour some salt from a box. They break some noodles from a bag. + +"Now we need to stir the soup," Tom says. He takes a big spoon and starts to stir the pot. + +Amy watches him. She sees some bubbles in the water. She hears some noise from the pot. She feels some steam on her face. + +"Tom, I think the soup is too hot," Amy says. She is scared. She thinks the soup will spill or burn them. + +"No, it's not too hot. It's just right," Tom says. He is not scared. He thinks the soup is yummy. + +He stirs the soup faster and faster. He makes a big splash. The water spills on the stove. The stove makes a loud beep. + +"Tom, stop! You made a mess!" Amy says. She is angry and scared. + +Tom stops. He looks at the mess. He is sorry and scared. + +"Mom, help!" they both yell. + +Mom comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. + +"We were making soup," Tom says. + +"We were playing math," Amy says. + +"Math?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, math. We were counting the carrots, and the salt, and the noodles," Amy says. + +Mom sighs. She turns off the stove. She takes the pot and the spoon. She cleans the mess. + +"Math is good, but not in the kitchen. And soup is good, but not on the stove. Next time, ask me before you play with the pot," she says. + +"OK, Mom. We're sorry," Tom and Amy say. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. + +"Let's go to the living room. I have a book for you. It has stories and math. Do you want to read it with me?" she asks. + +"Yes, Mom. We love stories and math," Tom and Amy say. + +They go to the living room. They sit on the couch. They read the book with Mom.

She asks her mom, "Can I pet the green dog, please?" + +Her mom says, "No, Sara. The green dog is not friendly. He might bite you. Stay with Max. He is your friend." + +But Sara does not listen. She runs to the green dog. She says, "Hi, green dog. You are cute. Can I pet you, please?" + +The green dog does not like Sara. He growls and shows his teeth. He snaps at Sara. Sara is scared. She cries out, "Mom, help!" + +Max hears Sara. He runs to Sara. He barks at the green dog. He makes the green dog go away. He licks Sara's face. He makes Sara feel better. + +Sara hugs Max. She says, "Thank you, Max. You are brave. You are my best friend. I love you, Max." + +Her mom comes to Sara. She says, "Are you okay, Sara? I told you not to pet the green dog. He was not nice. You should listen to me." + +Sara says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I won't pet the green dog again. I only want Max. He is nice. He saved me." + +Her mom says, "I'm glad you are okay, Sara. And I'm proud of Max. He is a good dog. He loves you, too. Now let's go home and have a snack." + +Sara and Max go home with her mom. They are happy. They are a family. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noise with their cars, dolls and blocks. They also liked to hide and seek from each other. + +"Tim, where are you?" Lily called. She looked under the sofa, behind the curtains and in the closet. She could not find him. + +"Boo!" Tim shouted. He jumped out from behind the bookshelf. He had a big smile on his face. He liked to scare Lily. + +Lily screamed and laughed. She ran to hug Tim. "You are so good at hiding, Tim. You almost disappeared!" + +They decided to play again. This time, Lily hid and Tim looked for her. He searched all over the living room. He could not find her. + +"Lily, where are you?" Tim called. He heard a weird noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a hiss and a pop. He wondered what it was. + +He walked to the kitchen. He saw a big mess on the floor. There was flour, eggs, milk and sugar everywhere. There was also a big hole in the wall. He saw Lily's feet sticking out from the hole. + +"Lily, what happened?" Tim asked. He ran to help her. + +Lily looked at him with a sad face. She had a cake mix in her hand. She wanted to surprise Tim with a cake. But she did not know how to use the oven. She turned it on too high. The cake mix exploded and made a hole in the wall. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. I wanted to make you a cake. But I made a big mistake. I disappeared in the wall." Lily said. + +Tim hugged her. He was not angry. He was glad she was okay. He also liked cake. + +"It's okay, Lily. I love you. And I love cake. Even if it is weird." Tim said. + +They laughed and ate some of the cake mix. They did not care about the mess. They were happy. They had fun. They were best friends. +Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see a big truck near a big tree. The truck has a long arm with a sharp thing on the end. The truck is loud and scary. + +"What is the truck doing?" Sue asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is cutting the tree," Tom says. + +"Why is it cutting the tree?" Sue asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe the tree is sick or old or in the way," Tom says. + +They watch the truck for a while. The sharp thing moves up and down and makes a lot of noise. The tree shakes and drops some leaves. Tom and Sue feel sad for the tree. + +"Let's go play somewhere else," Tom says. + +"OK," Sue says. + +They run to the other side of the park. They find a big hill with a lot of grass and flowers. They roll down the hill and laugh. They have fun. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud crash. They look back and see the big tree fall down. The tree is heavy and hits the ground hard. It makes a big hole and a big mess. The truck is still loud and scary. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. + +"That was the tree they cut," Sue says. + +They feel sorry for the tree. They wonder what will happen to it. They hope it will be OK. They hug each other and go home. +Tom and Mia love to play at the beach. They like to make sand castles, splash in the water, and look for shells. One day, they see a big boat on the sea. It is white and red, and it has a flag. + +"Wow, look at the boat!" Tom says. "I wonder who is on it." + +"Maybe they are pirates!" Mia says. "Or maybe they are explorers!" + +They decide to search for a way to get to the boat. They look for a smaller boat, or a raft, or a paddle. But they cannot find anything. They are sad. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is coming from the big boat. It is a friendly voice. It says, "Hello, kids! Do you want to come on board? We have cookies and juice!" + +Tom and Mia are surprised. They look at each other. They are curious. + +"Who are you?" Tom asks. + +"We are sailors!" the voice says. "We are sailing around the world. We saw you playing on the beach, and we wanted to say hi." + +Tom and Mia smile. They think the sailors are nice. They want to go on the boat. + +"Can we come?" Mia asks. + +"Of course!" the voice says. "We have a ladder. We will lower it for you. Just be careful, and hold on tight." + +Tom and Mia are happy. They run to the water. They see the ladder. They climb up. They reach the boat. They see the sailors. They are friendly. They have cookies and juice. They also have maps and books and toys. They show Tom and Mia around the boat. They tell them stories about their adventures. Tom and Mia have fun. They make new friends. They are glad they searched for the boat. +Jill was cold. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends, but she did not have a jacket. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I have a jacket?" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Jill, but we don't have any jackets that fit you. They are all too big or too small. But I have an idea. Why don't you make a jacket out of this old blanket?" + +Jill was happy. She liked to make things. She took the blanket and cut it with scissors. She made holes for her arms and head. She tied the edges with string. She put on her new jacket and looked in the mirror. She smiled. She thought she looked very nice. + +She ran outside and showed her friends her jacket. They looked at her and laughed. They said, "That's not a jacket, that's a rag. You look silly. You can't play with us." + +Jill felt sad. She felt uncomfortable in her jacket. She wished she had a real jacket. She ran back inside and cried. Mom heard her and hugged her. She said, "Don't listen to them, Jill. You are very creative and smart. You made a jacket out of nothing. That's amazing. I'm proud of you." + +Jill felt better. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love my jacket. It's warm and cozy. Can I keep it?" + +Mom said, "Of course you can, Jill. It's yours. You made it. And you know what? I have a surprise for you. I found a jacket that fits you at the store. It's blue and has flowers on it. Do you want to see it?" + +Jill was excited. She said, "Yes, Mom, I want to see it. Can I try it on?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Jill, you can try it on. But you don't have to wear it if you don't want to. You can wear your blanket jacket if you like it better. It's up to you." + +Jill said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. Can I wear both jackets? Then I'll be extra warm and pretty." + +Mom said, "Why not, Jill? You can wear both jackets. You are my special girl. And you have a big heart." +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She had a small spray bottle that she used to water the flowers. She liked to see the water make the petals shiny and wet. She also liked to spray her mom's hair and make her laugh. + +One day, Lily saw a big spider web on a rose bush. She was curious and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand and sprayed the web with her bottle. The web was sticky and wet, and it wrapped around her fingers. Lily was scared and cried out. + +Mom heard Lily's cry and ran to her. She saw the web on Lily's hand and gently pulled it off. She hugged Lily and told her not to be afraid. She explained that the web was the spider's home, and that Lily should not spray it or touch it. She said the spider was not mean, but tidy. It made the web to catch bugs for food. + +Lily felt sorry for the spider and said sorry to it. She asked Mom if they could give it a flower to make it happy. Mom smiled and nodded. They picked a small yellow flower and put it near the web. Lily hoped the spider would like it. She learned to be careful and kind in the garden. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket full of worms and beetles. They were very happy. + +"Look, Mia, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding up a long, slimy thing. + +"That's not a worm, Tom, that's a snake!" Mia said, pointing at the thing's head and tail. + +"A snake? Where?" Tom asked, dropping the thing and jumping back. + +"Right there, in your hand!" Mia said, backing away. + +The thing wriggled on the ground. It was brown and green and had a forked tongue. It looked scared and angry. + +"Go away, snake, you disturb us!" Tom shouted, throwing a stone at it. + +The snake hissed and coiled up. It was ready to bite. + +"Tom, don't do that, you make it mad!" Mia said, pulling Tom away. + +They ran to the house and told their mom what they saw. + +Their mom came out with a broom and a box. She was not afraid of snakes. She said some snakes were shy and harmless, and some were mean and dangerous. She said they should never touch a snake or disturb it, but leave it alone or call for help. + +She gently swept the snake into the box and closed the lid. She said she would take it to the woods and let it go. + +Tom and Mia said they were sorry for disturbing the snake. They said they would be more careful next time. They hugged their mom and went back to their bucket of bugs. They were still happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they went to the shop with their mom to buy some new toys. They saw many toys in the shop: cars, dolls, balls, books, and more. Lily and Ben wanted different toys. Lily liked dolls and books. Ben liked cars and balls. + +"Mom, can I have this doll?" Lily asked, holding a doll with long hair and a pink dress. + +"Mom, can I have this car?" Ben asked, holding a car with big wheels and a loud horn. + +Mom looked at the toys and smiled. "You can each have one toy, but you have to share with each other, okay?" she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged their toys. They were happy. They went to the cashier and paid for the toys. Then they went to the car and drove home. + +At home, Lily and Ben wanted to play with their toys. But they did not want to share. Lily wanted to play with her doll and read her book. Ben wanted to play with his car and bounce his ball. They started to fight over the toys. + +"Give me my doll!" Lily shouted, pulling the doll from Ben. + +"Give me my car!" Ben shouted, pulling the car from Lily. + +They pulled and pulled until they heard a rip and a snap. The doll's hair came off and the car's wheel broke. Lily and Ben looked at their toys and cried. They had destroyed their toys. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken toys and the sad twins. She was angry and disappointed. + +"What did you do?" she asked. "Why did you destroy your toys? You were supposed to share and be nice to each other." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were selfish and mean. We did not share and be nice. We destroyed our toys," they said. + +Mom sighed and hugged them back. She was glad they were sorry, but she was still upset. + +"You have to learn to share and be nice, or you will lose your toys and your friends. Sharing and being nice are important. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said yes. They understood. They wanted to share and be nice. They did not want to destroy their toys and their friends. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She was proud they understood. She had an idea. + +"I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?" she said. + +Lily and Ben said yes. They wanted to see the surprise. Mom took them to the garage and opened a box. Inside the box were two new toys: a flexible snake and a fluffy bunny. + +"These are your new toys. They are flexible and fluffy. You can bend them and cuddle them. They are very fun and cute. But you have to share them and be nice to them, okay?" she said. + +Lily and Ben were happy and excited. They thanked Mom and hugged their new toys. They liked the flexible snake and the fluffy bunny. They decided to share them and be nice to them. They did not want to destroy them. They wanted to play with them and have fun. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and explore new things. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. It looked very high and green. + +"Let's go there!" Lily said. "It must be fun to climb the mountain and see what is on top." + +Ben was not sure. He was a little scared of the mountain. He thought it might be too hard or too dangerous. He said, "I don't know, Lily. The mountain is very far and very big. Maybe we should stay here and play with our toys." + +Lily was not scared. She was brave and curious. She said, "Don't be silly, Ben. The mountain is not scary. It is just a big hill. And we have our backpacks and our snacks. We can do it. I dare you to come with me." + +Ben did not like to be dared. He did not want to look like a chicken. He said, "Okay, okay. I will come with you. But we have to be careful and listen to our parents. They said we should not go too far or too late." + +Lily and Ben packed their backpacks and started to walk towards the mountain. They saw many things on the way. They saw birds and flowers and rocks and trees. They also saw a big house that looked very modern. It had many windows and doors and lights. It looked like a spaceship. + +"Wow, look at that house!" Lily said. "It is so cool and shiny. I wonder who lives there." + +Ben said, "Maybe it is a scientist or an astronaut. Maybe they have a rocket or a robot inside. Do you want to go and see?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. But we have to be quick. We still have to climb the mountain." + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. A man opened the door and smiled at them. He said, "Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Hello, sir. We are going to the mountain. We want to see what is on top. But we saw your house and we wanted to say hi. Your house is very modern. It looks like a spaceship." + +The man said, "Thank you, kids. My house is modern because I am a scientist. I work on new inventions and experiments. I do have a rocket and a robot inside. Do you want to see them?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, please. That would be awesome." + +The man said, "Okay, come in. But only for a little while. You have to be back before dark. And don't touch anything. Some of my inventions are very delicate and dangerous." + +Lily and Ben said, "Okay, we promise. Thank you, sir." + +They followed the man into his house. They saw many amazing things. They saw a rocket that could fly to the moon. They saw a robot that could talk and dance. They saw a machine that could make ice cream and candy. They had a lot of fun. + +But they also remembered their promise. They said, "Thank you, sir, for showing us your house. It is very cool and interesting. But we have to go now. We still have to climb the mountain." + +The man said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed it. But be careful on the mountain. It is not as easy as it looks. And don't forget to listen to your parents. They love you and they worry about you." + +Lily and Ben said, "We will, sir. Thank you again. Goodbye." + +They waved goodbye to the man and his rocket and his robot. They ran back to the road and continued their journey to the mountain. They were happy and excited. They wondered what they would find on the top. They hoped it would be something as cool and modern as the house. They dared each other to be the first to reach the peak. They were best friends. They liked to play outside and explore new things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They saw a big bird on the ground. It had black and white feathers and a long yellow beak. It did not move or make a sound. + +"Is it dead?" Lily asked Tom. + +Tom nodded. He touched the bird's skin. It was cold and hard. He felt sad for the bird. + +"Can we help it?" Lily asked Tom. + +Tom shook his head. He said, "No, we can't. Dead means it can't live anymore. It can't fly or sing or eat. It is gone." + +Lily felt sad too. She hugged Tom and Spot. She said, "I wish it could live." + +Tom hugged her back. He said, "Me too. But we can be kind to it. We can bury it under the tree and say a prayer for it." + +They found a shovel and dug a hole under the tree. They put the bird in the hole and covered it with dirt. They said a prayer for the bird and thanked it for being beautiful. They made a cross with two sticks and put it on the grave. They said goodbye to the bird and went back to playing. They hoped the bird was happy in heaven. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They wore their warm coats and mittens, because it was very cold outside. Mom said they could play on the swings and the slide, but they had to stay close to her. + +Lily and Ben had fun on the swings, but then they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy, and it had a leash on its neck. A man was holding the leash, but he was not paying attention. The dog saw Lily and Ben and ran towards them, barking loudly. + +Lily and Ben were scared of the dog. They jumped off the swings and ran to their mom. The dog followed them, still barking. The man tried to catch the dog, but he was too slow. + +"Mom, help!" Lily and Ben cried. Mom hugged them and told them not to worry. She was angry at the man and the dog. She shouted at the man, "Control your dog! He is scaring my children!" + +The man finally caught the dog and pulled him back. He said he was sorry, but he did not sound very sorry. He said the dog was friendly and just wanted to play. Mom did not believe him. She said the dog was too big and too loud for the park. She said he should lead his dog somewhere else, where he would not bother anyone. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted to play on the slide. Mom took their hands and led them to the slide. They smiled and thanked her. They felt safe and happy with their mom. They forgot about the dog and the man. They had fun on the slide, and they did not let go of their mittens. +Tommy was very happy. It was his birthday and he had a new present. It was a big toy car that could make noises and move. He wanted to show his friend Lily his new present. He ran to her house and knocked on the door. + +"Hi, Tommy!" Lily said. "What do you have?" + +"It's my new present. It's a big toy car. Do you want to play with me?" Tommy asked. + +"Sure, let me get my shoes," Lily said. She went inside to get her shoes. + +Tommy waited outside. He saw a big dog walking on the street. The dog looked angry and hungry. It saw Tommy and his new present. It barked and ran towards him. + +Tommy was very scared. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit his new present and tore it apart. It also bit Tommy's leg and made him cry. + +Lily heard Tommy's cry and came outside. She saw the dog and Tommy. She was also scared. She ran back inside and locked the door. + +Tommy was alone and hurt. He wished he never got his new present. He wished he never came to Lily's house. He wished the dog would go away. He wished someone would help him. But no one did. +Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with at school. The other kids did not like her because she was shy and quiet. They said mean things to her and laughed at her. Anna felt sad and scared. + +One day, Anna saw a new kid in her class. His name was Ben. He had curly hair and big glasses. He looked nice, but he also looked lonely. He sat by himself at lunch and did not talk to anyone. Anna wanted to be his friend, but she did not know how to say hello. + +The next day, Anna had an idea. She brought her favorite toy, a soft bunny, to school. She hoped Ben would like it too. She waited for the right moment to show him. She saw him sitting on a bench in the playground, looking at the sky. She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to see my bunny?" + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He nodded and reached out his hand. Anna gave him the bunny and he hugged it. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Your bunny is very nice. Can I hold it for a while?" + +Anna nodded and smiled back. She felt happy and warm. She sat next to him and they started to talk. They found out they had many things in common. They liked the same books, the same colors, and the same games. They laughed and had fun. Anna felt like she had found a friend. + +The bell rang and it was time to go back to class. Anna and Ben got up and held hands. They walked together, with the bunny between them. Anna said, "You can keep the bunny for today. It will comfort you if you feel lonely. I will comfort you too. You are my friend." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. You are my friend too. The bunny and you make me happy. Can we play again tomorrow?" + +Anna said, "Yes, of course. I can't wait to see you again. You make me happy too." + +They hugged and smiled. They did not feel lonely anymore. They felt like they had found a new tap of joy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben had a big truck that he drove around the carpet. Lily had a doll that she dressed up and hugged. + +"Look, Lily, I can lock the truck's door with this key," Ben said, showing her a small metal piece. "Now no one can take my truck away." + +"That's cool, Ben," Lily said, admiring the truck. "Can I try the key?" + +"Okay, but be careful. Don't lose it," Ben said, handing her the key. + +Lily took the key and tried to fit it in the truck's door. She turned it left and right, but it did not work. She tried the other door, but it did not work either. + +"Ben, I can't lock the door. It's too hard," Lily said, feeling frustrated. + +"Let me see," Ben said, taking the key back. He looked at the key and the truck. He noticed something. "Oh, Lily, this is not the right key. This is the key for the measure. See, it has numbers on it. The key for the truck is in my pocket. Here, try this one." + +He gave her a different key, that looked like the truck's door. Lily tried it and it worked. She locked and unlocked the door with a click. + +"Wow, Ben, you are so smart. You know the difference between the keys. Thank you for helping me," Lily said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are very nice. Do you want to play with the truck and the doll together?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, that sounds fun. We can share our toys and be friends," Lily said. + +They put the keys away and played with the truck and the doll. They made up stories and laughed. They felt comfortable and happy. They had a good time. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are three years old. + +Mama and Papa have a surprise for them. They tell Anna and Ben to close their eyes and wait in their room. Anna and Ben are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They hear Mama and Papa whisper and laugh in the kitchen. + +After a while, Mama and Papa call them. "Come, come, it is time for your surprise!" they say. Anna and Ben open their eyes and run to the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It has candles and frosting and sprinkles. It also has their names on it. "Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" Mama and Papa say. + +Anna and Ben are so happy. They clap their hands and jump up and down. They hug Mama and Papa and thank them. They blow out the candles and make a wish. They cut the cake and share it with Mama and Papa. The cake is yummy. It is chocolate and vanilla and strawberry. Anna and Ben lick their fingers and smile. + +Mama and Papa have another surprise for them. They give them two wrapped boxes. One is big and one is thin. Anna and Ben open them. Inside the big box, there is a teddy bear for Anna. It is soft and brown and has a red bow. Inside the thin box, there is a book for Ben. It has pictures and words and a blue cover. Anna and Ben love their gifts. They hug them and show them to Mama and Papa. They say thank you again. + +Mama and Papa are proud of their twins. They kiss them and tell them they love them. They say they are the best birthday surprise they ever had. Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love Mama and Papa too. They have a wonderful birthday. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, they have to go to the dentist for a visit. They do not like the dentist. They are scared of the big chair and the loud tools. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben, it's time to go," Mom says. She puts on their coats and hats. "The dentist is very nice and helpful. He will check your teeth and make them clean and strong." + +Lily and Ben resist. They shake their heads and hide under the bed. They do not want to go. They say, "No, no, no!" + +Mom sighs. She kneels down and looks under the bed. She smiles and says, "I know you are scared, but the dentist is not scary. He is your friend. He will give you a sticker and a toy after the visit. And I will be with you the whole time. How about we play a game on the way? We can count the cars and the birds we see. Would you like that?" + +Lily and Ben peek out from under the bed. They think about the sticker and the toy. They think about the game. They nod and say, "Okay, okay, okay!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "That's my brave twins. Let's go and have some fun." She helps them out of the bed and holds their hands. They walk to the car and start the game. They count the cars and the birds. They forget about the dentist. They are happy. +Anna liked peanuts very much. She liked to eat them with her mom and dad. Sometimes, she liked to play with them too. She would put them in a bowl and pretend they were her friends. + +One day, Anna found a big bag of peanuts in the kitchen. She was very glad. She wanted to share them with her mom and dad. She took the bag and ran to the living room. She saw her mom and dad sitting on the couch. They were watching TV. + +"Look, mom and dad, I have peanuts!" Anna said. She opened the bag and poured the peanuts on the couch. They made a loud noise. Some of them fell on the floor. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She was not glad. She was surprised and a little angry. + +"I want to share my peanuts with you!" Anna said. She smiled and picked up a peanut. She put it in her mouth and crunched it. + +"Anna, you can't put peanuts on the couch. They are dirty and messy. You have to put them back in the bag. And you have to ask before you take things from the kitchen." her dad said. He was not glad either. He was calm and firm. + +"But I like peanuts!" Anna said. She pouted and looked at the couch. It was full of peanuts. + +"We like peanuts too, Anna, but we have to eat them in a nice way. Come on, let's put them back in the bag and then we can have some together." her mom said. She got up and helped Anna to clean up the couch and the floor. She gave Anna a hug and a kiss. + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I just wanted to share." Anna said. She felt a little sad. + +"It's okay, Anna. We know you wanted to share. Sharing is good, but you have to be careful and polite. Next time, you can ask us if we want some peanuts and then we can put them in a bowl and eat them together. How does that sound?" her dad said. He also gave Anna a hug and a kiss. + +"That sounds good, dad. I love you, mom and dad. And I love peanuts!" Anna said. She was glad again. She put the bag of peanuts on the table and went to the couch. She sat between her mom and dad and watched TV with them. They all had some peanuts and enjoyed them. They were a happy family. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the lake. They saw a fisherman with a big hat and a long stick. He threw the stick into the water and waited for a fish to bite. + +"Can we try?" Ben asked the fisherman. + +"Sure, but be careful. This is my only stick and it is very old. If you break it, you have to replace it," the fisherman said. + +He gave the stick to Ben and showed him how to hold it. Ben threw the stick into the water and felt a tug. He pulled hard and saw a big fish on the end of the stick. + +"Wow, you are good!" the fisherman said. "But don't let go of the stick or the fish will escape." + +Ben tried to hold on, but the fish was too strong. It pulled the stick out of Ben's hands and swam away. + +"Oh no, I'm sorry!" Ben said. "I broke your stick and lost your fish." + +The fisherman was sad and angry. He looked at Ben and said, "You have to replace my stick. It was very special to me. It belonged to my father and his father before him. Where will you find another stick like that?" + +Ben did not know what to say. He felt bad and scared. He looked at Sam, who was watching from the shore. Sam had an idea. He ran to the woods and found a furry animal with a long tail. It was a beaver. Sam asked the beaver for help. + +"Please, can you make a new stick for the fisherman? He is very upset and my brother is in trouble. We will give you something in return," Sam said. + +The beaver looked at Sam and nodded. He followed Sam to the lake and saw the fisherman. He saw the broken stick and the big fish that was still on the end of it. He smiled and said, "I can make a new stick for you, but I want the fish as a reward. It looks tasty and I am hungry." + +The fisherman agreed. He gave the fish to the beaver and thanked him. The beaver took the fish and the broken stick and went to work. He used his teeth and his tail to cut and shape a new stick. He made it strong and smooth and shiny. He gave the new stick to the fisherman and said, "Here you go. This is a good stick. It will catch many fish for you." + +The fisherman was happy and surprised. He took the new stick and thanked the beaver again. He tried the stick and liked it. He said, "This is a wonderful stick. It is even better than the old one. You are a clever and kind beaver. Thank you for helping me and these boys." + +Ben and Sam were relieved and grateful. They hugged the beaver and said, "Thank you for saving us. You are a good friend. We will never forget you." + +The beaver smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am glad to help. And I enjoyed the fish. It was delicious." + +He waved goodbye and went back to the woods. Ben and Sam waved back and stayed with the fisherman. They learned how to use the new stick and caught some more fish. They had fun and made a new friend. They never broke the stick again. +Tim and Mia like to play in the garden. They look for insects under the rocks and in the grass. They have a small box to keep the insects they find. They want to learn their names and colors. + +One day, they find a big insect with shiny wings. It is green and blue and makes a loud noise. They are very happy and put it in the box. They run to show it to Mom. + +"Mom, look what we found!" Tim says. "It is a big insect with shiny wings!" + +Mom smiles and looks at the box. "That is a dragonfly," she says. "It is very pretty, but it needs to fly and be free. You should unlock the box and let it go." + +"But we want to keep it!" Mia says. "It is our friend!" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, it is not your friend. It is a wild insect. It does not like to be in a small box. It likes to fly and find food and water. If you keep it, it will be sad and sick. You should be kind and let it go." + +Tim and Mia think for a moment. They do not want to make the dragonfly sad and sick. They want to be kind. They nod and unlock the box. The dragonfly flies out and makes a loud noise. It flies over their heads and away. + +"Bye, dragonfly!" Tim and Mia say. "Thank you for letting us see you!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very good children. You did the right thing. The dragonfly is happy and free. Maybe you will see it again someday." +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big jar of sauce on the shelf. They wanted to taste it. + +"Let's get the sauce," Tom said. "It looks yummy." + +"But Mom said we can't touch it," Sam said. "She said it is for dinner." + +"Mom is not here," Tom said. "She went to the store. We can have some sauce and put it back. She will not know." + +Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He opened it and smelled it. It was spicy and red. He dipped his finger in it and licked it. It was hot and sour. He made a face. + +"Yuck! This sauce is not yummy. It is icky and scary. It hurts my mouth," he said. + +Sam wanted to try too. He climbed on the chair and took the jar from Tom. He put his finger in it and licked it. He also made a face. + +"Ow! This sauce is bad. It burns my tongue. I don't like it," he said. + +They heard a noise. It was Mom. She came back from the store. She saw them on the chair with the jar of sauce. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. She was angry. "Did you touch my sauce?" + +Tom and Sam were scared. They tried to hide the jar behind their backs. But it was too late. Mom saw it. + +"That is my special sauce. It is very hot and spicy. It is not for children. It is for adults. You are not supposed to have it. You are naughty," she said. + +She took the jar from them and put it back on the shelf. She made them get down from the chair. She gave them a glass of water each. She said they had to go to their room. They had to stay there until dinner. They had no toys. They had no fun. They were sad. + +They wished they had not touched the sauce. They wished they had listened to Mom. They learned their lesson. They never touched the sauce again. The end. +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Mia saw a big yellow flower that was not open yet. She wanted to see it bloom. + +"Look, Leo, this flower is sleeping. When will it wake up and show us its face?" Mia asked. + +Leo shrugged. He did not know much about flowers. He liked to play with rocks. He had a big rock in his hand. He wanted to throw it at the fence. + +"I don't know, Mia. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe never. Can we play something else? I have a rock. It is hard and heavy. Watch me throw it!" Leo said. + +He threw the rock as hard as he could. But he did not aim well. The rock flew over the fence and hit a window. They heard a loud crash and a scream. + +"Oh no, Leo, you broke the window! That is bad. We have to say sorry. Come on, let's go!" Mia said. + +She grabbed Leo's hand and ran to the fence. She saw a lady looking out of the broken window. She looked angry and scared. + +"Who did this? Who threw this rock? You naughty children, you could have hurt someone!" the lady shouted. + +Mia and Leo felt sorry and scared. They did not mean to break the window. They did not want to make the lady angry. They wanted to be obedient. + +"We are sorry, lady. We did not mean to break your window. It was an accident. Leo threw the rock, but he did not see your window. He likes rocks. I like flowers. We were playing in the garden. Please don't be mad at us." Mia said. + +The lady looked at them. She saw that they were small and honest. She saw that they were sorry and scared. She felt a little less angry and scared. + +"Well, I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be more careful. Rocks are not toys. They can hurt people and things. You have to pay for the window. And you have to apologize to the people who live here. Do you understand?" the lady said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They understood. They said sorry again. They followed the lady to the door. They met the people who lived in the house. They apologized to them. They gave them some money from their piggy banks. They promised to be more careful. + +The people who lived in the house were kind. They accepted their apology and their money. They thanked them for being honest and obedient. They gave them some cookies and milk. They told them to be safe and have fun. + +Mia and Leo thanked them and left. They went back to the garden. They saw the big yellow flower. It was open now. It was blooming. It was beautiful. + +"Look, Leo, the flower woke up. It showed us its face. It is happy. Maybe it forgave us too." Mia said. + +Leo looked at the flower. He smiled. He thought it was pretty. He did not want to throw rocks anymore. He wanted to smell the flower. + +"Maybe you are right, Mia. Maybe it did. It is a nice flower. Can I smell it?" Leo said. + +Mia nodded. She let him smell the flower. They both smelled the flower. They both smiled. They both felt happy. They both learned a lesson. +Tim was a lazy boy. He did not like to help his mom and dad with the chores. He only liked to play with his toys and watch TV. One day, his mom asked him to clean his room. Tim said no. He said he was too tired and bored. + +His mom was angry. She said he had to do his part. She said she would give him a strike if he did not obey. Tim did not care. He thought his mom was bluffing. He went back to his toys and TV. + +His mom came back with a belt in her hand. She saw that Tim had not cleaned his room. She said he had earned a strike. She raised the belt to hit him. Tim was scared. He begged his mom to stop. He said he was sorry and he would clean his room. + +His mom lowered the belt. She said he had one last chance. She said he had to clean his room right away and then help with the dishes. She said if he did not, he would get a strike for real. Tim nodded. He did not want to feel the belt. He ran to his room and started to tidy up. He learned his lesson. He decided to be less lazy and more helpful. +Sara likes to count. She counts her toys, her fingers, her books. She knows many numbers. She wants to learn more numbers. She asks her mom to teach her. + +Mom is busy. She has to cook, clean, work. She does not have time to teach Sara. She tells Sara to play by herself. Sara is sad. She wants to learn. + +Sara sees a book on the shelf. It has many numbers on the cover. She wants to read it. But the shelf is high. Sara is small. She cannot reach the book. She tries to jump. She tries to climb. She tries to use a chair. She cannot get the book. She is frustrated. + +She sees her brother Tom. Tom is big. He can reach the book. She asks Tom to help her. Tom is mean. He does not like to share. He says no. He says the book is too hard for Sara. He says Sara is dumb. He laughs at Sara. Sara is angry. + +She does not give up. She has an idea. She sees a distant table. It has a lamp on it. She runs to the table. She pushes the lamp. The lamp falls. It makes a loud noise. Mom and Tom hear the noise. They come to see what happened. + +Sara is quick. She grabs the book from the shelf. She runs to her room. She locks the door. She opens the book. She sees many numbers. She is happy. She tries to read the book. She does not understand everything. But she manages to learn some new numbers. She is proud. She smiles. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket full of worms and beetles. They were happy. + +"Look, Anna, I found a big stick!" Ben said, holding up a long brown thing. + +"Let me see!" Anna said, reaching for it. + +But the stick was not a stick. It was a snake. It hissed and wriggled in Ben's hand. Ben dropped it and screamed. Anna screamed too. They ran away from the snake. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a chair with a book. They hugged her and told her about the snake. + +"Oh, you poor things!" Mom said, stroking their hair. "That must have been scary. But don't worry, the snake won't hurt you. It was probably just as scared as you. It was looking for a warm place to sleep." + +Mom took them inside the house. She gave them some cookies and milk. She wrapped them in a soft blanket. They felt warm and safe. They stopped shivering. They felt comfortable. + +"Mom, you are the best!" Anna said, snuggling up to her. + +"Mom, can we read a story?" Ben asked, holding up a book. + +"Of course, my loves," Mom said, smiling. "Let's read a story. A nice story. A story with no snakes." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They are happy and playful. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog runs to Sara and Ben. It barks and wags its tail. + +"Hello, doggy!" Sara says. She wants to pet the dog. Ben is scared. He does not like dogs. He hides behind the bike. + +"Go away, doggy!" Ben says. He throws a stick at the dog. The dog thinks it is a game. It chases the stick and brings it back to Ben. + +"Good doggy!" Sara says. She nods and smiles. She gives the dog a piece of celery from her lunch box. The dog likes celery. It crunches and munches. + +"Yuck, doggy!" Ben says. He does not like celery. He thinks it is gross. He makes a face. + +Sara and Ben have a problem. Sara likes the dog and the celery. Ben does not like the dog or the celery. They do not know what to do. + +How can they solve their problem? +Tom and Anna like to play at the park. They like to swing, run, and slide. One day, they see a big bus with many kids. The bus stops at the park and the kids get out. + +"Who are they?" Tom asks Anna. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are from another school," Anna says. + +Tom and Anna watch the kids. Some of them are nice and say hello. But some of them are mean and push and shout. One of them is very big and has a red hat. He sees Tom and Anna on the slide and runs to them. + +"Get off the slide! It's mine!" he yells. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They try to slide down, but the big kid blocks them. He laughs and calls them stupid. + +"You are stupid! You don't know anything! Do you know what the ocean is?" he asks. + +Tom and Anna nod. They have seen the ocean before. It is blue and wet and has fish and waves. + +"Ha! You are wrong! The ocean is green and dry and has cows and rocks. You are so stupid!" the big kid says. + +Tom and Anna feel sad and angry. They are not stupid. They know what the ocean is. They want to tell the big kid, but they are afraid he will hit them. + +Then, they hear a whistle. It is the bus driver. He tells the kids to get back on the bus. The big kid runs away, but not before he spits on the slide. + +"Bye-bye, stupid!" he says. + +Tom and Anna are glad he is gone. They wipe the spit off the slide. They look at each other and smile. + +"We are not stupid. We are smart. And we are friends," Tom says. + +Anna nods. She hugs Tom. + +"Yes, we are. And we are brave. And we are kind," Anna says. + +They slide down together and laugh. They don't care about the big kid. They have each other and the slide. And they know what the ocean is. +Lily liked to print with her crayons. She had many colors and papers. She printed flowers, stars, and faces. She was very good at printing. + +One day, she saw a big tower outside her window. It was tall and shiny. It had many windows and doors. Lily was curious about the tower. She wanted to print it. + +She took her crayons and a big paper. She looked at the tower and tried to print it. She printed a long line for the tower. She printed small squares for the windows.

They put it on the fridge. Lily smiled. She liked to print with her crayons. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to ask many questions. She wanted to know about everything in the world. One day, she asked her mom, "What is Sunday?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sunday is a special day. We don't go to work or school on Sunday. We can do fun things together as a family." + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "Can we go to the park on Sunday? I want to see the ducks and the swings and the slide." + +Mom nodded and said, "That sounds like a good idea. We can go to the park on Sunday. Maybe we can also have a picnic and play with a ball." + +Lily was very happy and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." + +Mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a very smart and curious girl. You always suggest good things to do." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with water. They have a kayak. A kayak is a boat that you sit in. You use a stick with two ends to move the kayak. + +One day, they go to the lake with the kayak. They want to have fun. They attach the kayak to their car. They drive to the lake. They see the water. It is big and blue and shiny. + +"Let's go in the kayak!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Jen says. + +They take the kayak off the car. They put it in the water. They get in the kayak. They use the stick to move the kayak. They go fast and slow and turn and spin. They laugh and shout. + +They see a big open space in the water. It looks like a hole. + +"Let's go there!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Jen says. + +They move the kayak to the open space. They get closer and closer. They do not see the danger. The open space is not a hole. It is a whirlpool. A whirlpool is water that goes round and round very fast. It can suck things in. + +They feel the kayak move. It moves faster and faster. It goes round and round. They are scared. + +"Help!" Tom says. + +"Help!" Jen says. + +They try to use the stick to get out. But it is too late. The whirlpool is too strong. It pulls the kayak in. It pulls Tom and Jen in. They scream. They disappear. The water is calm again. The kayak is gone. Tom and Jen are gone. The end. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to feed the ducks in the pond. The ducks were nice and friendly. + +One day, they saw a big crocodile in the pond. The crocodile was green and scaly. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It looked mean and hungry. Tim and Lily were scared. They ran away from the pond. + +"Let's go home, Tim. The crocodile is bad. It might eat us or the ducks," Lily said. + +"But I want to feed the ducks, Lily. They are our friends. Maybe the crocodile is lonely and sad. Maybe it just wants some bread too," Tim said. + +"No, Tim. The crocodile is not like the ducks. It is cold and scary. It does not belong here. It should go back to where it came from," Lily said. + +Tim and Lily argued. They could not agree. They stopped being friends. They went home in different directions. + +The next day, Tim and Lily did not play in the park. They did not swing, slide or run. They did not feed the ducks. They stayed at home. They were bored and unhappy. + +They missed each other. They missed the park. They missed the ducks. + +They realized that they were wrong. The crocodile was not bad. It was just different. It did not mean to scare them or the ducks. It was lost and confused. It needed help and kindness. + +They decided to make up. They went to the park together. They brought some bread for the ducks and some meat for the crocodile. They fed them both. They saw that the crocodile was happy and grateful. It smiled and wagged its tail. It did not hurt them or the ducks. + +Tim and Lily were happy too. They learned to be brave and friendly. They learned to respect and help others. They learned to be good friends. + +The end. +Tommy loved oranges. He liked to peel them and eat the juicy parts. Sometimes he shared them with his sister, but sometimes he wanted them all for himself. + +One day, he saw a big basket of oranges on the kitchen table. He climbed on a chair and reached for one. He heard his mom say, "Tommy, those are for later. We are going to make orange juice for everyone. Please don't touch them." + +But Tommy did not listen. He grabbed an orange and ran to his room. He closed the door and hid under his bed. He peeled the orange and ate it. It was sweet and sour and made his mouth water. + +He heard his mom call, "Tommy, where are you? It's time to make orange juice. Come and help me." + +Tommy felt guilty. He knew he did something bad. He did not want to face his mom. He stayed under his bed and hoped she would not find him. + +But his mom knew where he was. She opened the door and looked under the bed. She saw Tommy and the orange peel. She said, "Tommy, what did you do? You took an orange without asking. That was not nice. You have to share with your sister and your dad. How do you think they feel?" + +Tommy felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was hungry and I wanted an orange. I didn't mean to be selfish. I won't do it again." + +His mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Tommy. But saying sorry is not enough. You have to show it. You have to help me make orange juice and give some to your sister and your dad. And you have to say sorry to them too. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will help you and say sorry. I love you, mom." + +His mom said, "I love you too, Tommy. Now come on, let's go to the kitchen and make some orange juice." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to go on the swing. + +"Can I go first?" Tom asks. + +"No, I want to go first!" Lily says. + +They both run to the swing. They push and pull. The swing is heavy. They cannot move it. + +They are sad. They sit on the grass. + +"Let's play something else," Tom says. + +"Like what?" Lily asks. + +"Let's mix some things," Tom says. + +He sees some flowers, some leaves, some rocks, and some water. He picks some of them. He puts them in a bucket. + +"Look, I made a soup!" he says. + +He stirs the bucket with a stick. + +"Can I try?" Lily says. + +She picks some other things. She puts them in another bucket. + +"Look, I made a cake!" she says. + +She smashes the bucket with a stone. + +They show each other their buckets. They laugh. + +They are happy. They forget about the swing. They play with their buckets. They mix and mix. They have fun. +Lily loved her dog Spot. Spot was loyal and always followed Lily everywhere. Spot had soft fur and four paws. Lily liked to hug Spot and play with him. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park with Lily's dad. Lily's dad drove the car and Lily and Spot sat in the back. Lily looked out the window and saw many things. She saw trees, flowers, birds and other cars. Spot barked at some of the things he saw. + +When they got to the park, Lily's dad parked the car and let Lily and Spot out. Lily and Spot ran to the playground. They saw a slide, a swing, a sandbox and a seesaw. Lily and Spot had fun playing with each other and with other kids and dogs. + +"Spot, do you want to go on the slide?" Lily asked. + +"Woof, woof!" Spot answered. + +Lily climbed up the ladder and Spot followed her. Lily slid down the slide and Spot slid after her. They both laughed and wagged their tails. + +Lily and Spot played on the slide many times. They also tried the swing, the sandbox and the seesaw. They made new friends and shared their toys. Lily's dad watched them and smiled. + +Lily and Spot had a great day at the park. They were happy and tired. Lily's dad drove them back home. Lily and Spot cuddled in the back seat. Lily hugged Spot and said, "I love you, Spot. You are my best friend." + +Spot licked Lily's face and said, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend too." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a big bear and Lily was a little rabbit. They ran and jumped and growled and squeaked. + +But then they heard a loud howl. It was a wolf! The wolf was naughty and hungry. He wanted to get the rabbit and the bear for his lunch. He sneaked behind the bushes and waited for his chance. + +"Look, Ben, a flower!" Lily said, pointing to a red poppy. She hopped over to smell it. The wolf saw her and jumped out of his hiding place. He ran towards her with his sharp teeth. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Lily cried. She was scared of the wolf. + +Ben heard her and turned around. He saw the wolf and roared. He was brave and strong. He ran to Lily and stood in front of her. He made himself big and fierce. He scared the wolf away. + +"Go away, naughty wolf!" Ben shouted. "You can't get us! We are friends!" + +The wolf was afraid of the bear. He ran back to the woods. He did not want to mess with Ben and Lily. + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They were happy and safe. They went back to their game. They were the best animal friends. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with. They looked around the room and saw a big cardboard box. They had an idea. + +"Let's make a fort!" Lily said. + +"Yes, let's!" Ben agreed. + +They dragged the cardboard box to the corner and cut out a door and a window. They crawled inside and pretended it was their castle. They had fun making noises and telling stories. + +But soon they wanted more adventure. They saw a pile of pillows on the couch. + +"Let's jump on the pillows!" Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They ran out of the cardboard fort and climbed on the couch. They jumped on the pillows and laughed. They felt like they were flying. + +But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" It was Mom. She was not happy. + +She saw the cardboard box and the pillows and the mess. + +"You are making too much noise and too much trouble!" She said. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. + +They got off the couch and picked up the pillows. They put them back where they belonged. + +They looked at the cardboard fort. They still wanted to play. + +"Can we keep the fort, Mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom sighed. She saw their little faces and smiled. + +"OK, you can keep the fort. But only if you promise to be quiet and clean up after yourselves," She said. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and went back to the fort. They played quietly and happily. They loved their cardboard fort. It was their favorite toy. +Lila was a deaf girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big blanket that she used to make a house for them. She would put the blanket over a table and some chairs, and then she would go inside with her dolls. She would pretend that she was their mom and that she had to provide food and clothes and hugs for them. + +One day, Lila's friend Ben came over to play. He was not deaf, but he knew some signs that Lila taught him. He wanted to play with the blanket house too, but he did not know how to be quiet. He would make loud noises with his mouth and his feet, and he would shake the blanket. Lila did not like that. She could not hear him, but she could feel him. She felt scared and angry. + +She came out of the blanket house and told Ben to stop. She used her hands to say, "No, no, no! You are too loud! You are ruining my house!" Ben did not understand. He thought Lila was playing with him. He used his hands to say, "Yes, yes, yes! You are fun! You are funny!" He tried to hug Lila, but she pushed him away. + +Lila ran to her mom and cried. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. Ben did not mean to upset you. He just wanted to play with you. He does not know how to be quiet like you. He does not know how you feel." Lila said, "But I don't want to play with him. He is too loud. He is not my friend." + +Her mom said, "Lila, Ben is your friend. He likes you. He tries to learn your signs. He shares his toys with you. He is not deaf, but he is different from you. And you are different from him. That's okay. You can still be friends. You just have to teach him how to play with you. And you have to learn how to play with him. You have to be kind and patient and respectful. Can you do that?" + +Lila thought for a moment. She wiped her tears and nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I will try. I will teach him how to be quiet. And I will learn how to be loud. I will be kind and patient and respectful. I will be his friend." Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lila. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you go back to your blanket house and invite Ben to join you? Maybe you can provide him with a doll and a hug." Lila smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I will do that." She took her blanket and went back to Ben. She said, "Sorry, Ben. I was mad. Do you want to play with me?" Ben said, "Yes, Lila. I do. I'm sorry, too. Do you want to teach me how to be quiet?" Lila said, "Yes, Ben. I do. And you can teach me how to be loud. We can be friends." They hugged and went inside the blanket house. They played with the dolls and made each other laugh. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the lake. They had a boat that they shared and took turns to row. One day, they both wanted to row the boat at the same time. + +"I want to row the boat now!" Lily said. + +"No, it's my turn! You rowed the boat yesterday!" Tom said. + +They began to quarrel and pull the boat from each other. They did not listen to each other or say sorry. They were very angry and rude. + +The boat was not strong enough to handle their quarrel. It broke in half and sank into the lake. Lily and Tom fell into the water and got wet and cold. They cried for help, but no one heard them. They wished they had been honest and fair with each other. But it was too late. The lake was deep and dark, and they could not swim. They drowned in the lake and died. The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play cops and robbers. Tim has a toy gun. Sam has a hat and a badge. They run around the yard and pretend to chase bad guys. + +One day, they see a big dog in the street. The dog is old and sad. He has no collar and no home. Tim and Sam want to help him. They go near the dog and talk to him. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He is friendly and gentle. + +But then, a mean man comes out of a house. He yells at the dog and kicks him. He says the dog is his and he wants to sell him. He grabs the dog by the neck and drags him to his car. The dog whines and tries to get away. Tim and Sam are scared and angry. + +They decide to rescue the dog. They run after the mean man and his car. Tim points his toy gun at the man and shouts, "Stop! You are a bad robber! We are the cops and we will catch you!" Sam blows his whistle and waves his badge. He says, "Let the dog go! He is our friend and we will take care of him!" + +The mean man is surprised and scared. He thinks the toy gun is real. He drops the dog and runs away. The dog barks and jumps on Tim and Sam. He is happy and grateful. Tim and Sam hug him and take him to their yard. They give him water and food and a blanket. They name him Rex and make him their pet. They are heroes and they have a new friend. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and looked at their shadows. + +"Look, Max, I have a pretty shadow!" Lily said. She made her shadow dance and wave. + +Max looked at his shadow. He made his shadow jump and clap. "My shadow is funny!" he said. + +They played with their shadows for a long time. They made their shadows do different things. They had fun. + +Then they saw a big slide. They wanted to go on the slide. But there was only one slide. + +"Who will go first?" Lily asked. + +Max thought for a moment. He looked at the slide. He looked at Lily. He looked at his shadow. + +He smiled. He had an idea. + +"You can go first, Lily," he said. "I will choose to play with my shadow some more. He is my friend." + +Lily was happy. She thanked Max and ran to the slide. She slid down fast and laughed. + +Max stayed under the tree. He played with his shadow. He made his shadow slide and laugh too. + +They both had fun. They both were kind. They both were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big, red ball. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have the ball?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. + +They both pulled the ball. It was heavy. They could not move it. + +"Let go!" Tom said. + +"No, you let go!" Lily said. + +They pulled harder. The ball made a loud noise. It popped. They saw sparks fly out of the ball. They were scared. + +"What was that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. It was not a ball. It was something else." Lily said. + +They looked at the ball. It was not a ball anymore. It was a broken, black thing. It had wires and metal inside. + +"Maybe it was a toy. Maybe it had a battery." Tom said. + +"Maybe. But it was not a good toy. It was a bad toy. It hurt us." Lily said. + +They dropped the ball. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we are okay. But the ball was not okay. It was a bad ball. It squeezed and popped and made sparks." Tom said. + +Mom hugged them. She was glad they were okay. + +"That was not a ball. That was a firework. It was dangerous. You should not play with it. You should only play with safe toys." Mom said. + +"Sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will not play with it again." Lily said. + +Mom threw away the firework. She gave them a real ball. A soft, blue ball. They played with it. They had fun. They did not squeeze it. They did not see sparks. They were happy. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and books. + +One day, they decide to play a new game. They pretend that their cars are going to university. They choose a big book with many pictures as their university. They say that the cars have to learn many things there. + +"Vroom, vroom, I am a red car. I want to learn about fire trucks and sirens," says Ben. + +"Beeep, beeep, I am a yellow car. I want to learn about taxis and traffic lights," says Mia. + +They drive their cars to the book and park them on the pages. They look at the pictures and make sounds. + +But then, they hear their mom calling them. "Ben, Mia, it's time for lunch. Come and wash your hands." + +They leave their cars on the book and run to the kitchen. They are hungry and want to eat. + +But they forget to close the book. The sun is shining through the window. The book gets very hot. The cars get very hot too. They start to melt and stick to the pages. + +When Ben and Mia finish their lunch, they go back to their room. They want to play with their cars again. But they see that their cars are ruined. They are sad and angry. + +"Who did this to our cars?" says Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe the sun did it," says Mia. + +They try to pull their cars off the book. But they can't. The cars are too sticky. They break and tear. + +They cry and hug each other. They wish they could reverse what happened. They wish they could have their cars back. They wish they never played the university game. +Anna and Ben love to play with their toy reindeer. They have four of them: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. They like to pretend that they are Santa and his helpers, and they take turns to deliver presents to their stuffed animals. + +One day, they are playing in their room, when their mom calls them for lunch. "Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" she says. "Finish your game and put away your toys." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, mom!" They decide to do one more round of deliveries, and then they will go downstairs. Anna is Santa, and Ben is her helper. They load their sleigh with some blocks and books, and they attach their reindeer to it. + +"Ready, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"Ready, Anna!" Ben replies. + +They start to move their sleigh around the room, stopping at each stuffed animal and giving them a present. They say, "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!" and they make their reindeer fly. + +They are having so much fun, that they forget about the time. They don't hear their mom calling them again. They don't see their dad coming into the room. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" their dad asks. He sees their sleigh and their reindeer, and he smiles. "Wow, you have a nice game here. But you know what? You have to finish it now. Your mom is waiting for you, and your lunch is getting cold." + +Anna and Ben look at their dad, and then at each other. They realize that they have been playing for too long. They feel sorry for making their mom wait. + +"Sorry, dad," Anna says. "We were just having fun." + +"Sorry, dad," Ben says. "We didn't hear mom." + +Their dad nods and says, "I understand. But you have to be fair to your mom, too. She made you a yummy lunch, and she wants to eat with you. So, why don't you finish your game quickly, and then put away your toys? Then you can go downstairs and enjoy your lunch." + +Anna and Ben agree and say, "Okay, dad." They finish their game, and they put away their toys. They thank their dad for being nice, and they hug their reindeer. They say, "Bye bye, reindeer! We'll play with you later!" + +They run downstairs, and they join their mom at the table. They tell her about their game, and they apologize for being late.

They eat their lunch, and they tell their mom that they love her. They are happy, and they are fair. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear. They called him Mr. Bear and hugged him every night. + +One night, Jill and Tom had a bad dream. They dreamed that a scary monster came into their room and took Mr. Bear away. They woke up and cried. They looked for Mr. Bear, but he was not in their bed or on the floor or in the closet. He was gone. They ran to their mom and dad and told them what happened. + +Mom and dad tried to calm them down. They said that Mr. Bear was not real and that he could not vanish. They said that it was just a nightmare and that they should go back to sleep. They gave them a kiss and a hug and tucked them in. + +But Jill and Tom could not sleep. They missed Mr. Bear and they were afraid of the monster. They wished that Mr. Bear would come back. They whispered to each other and held hands. + +The next morning, they heard a knock on the door. They hoped that it was Mr. Bear, but it was not. It was an elderly lady who lived next door. She had a big smile and a big bag. She said that she had a surprise for them. She opened the bag and took out Mr. Bear. She said that she found him in her garden and that he looked lonely. She said that she washed him and sewed his torn ear and gave him a new bow. She said that she wanted to keep him, but that she thought that he belonged to them. + +Jill and Tom were shocked. They did not know how Mr. Bear got to the lady's garden. They did not like that she washed him and sewed him and gave him a new bow. They did not want to share him with her. They wanted him to be the same as before. They wanted him to be theirs. They snatched Mr. Bear from the lady and ran to their room. They slammed the door and locked it. + +The lady was sad. She did not mean to upset them. She thought that she was doing something nice.

She said that she had more toys in her bag and that they could play with them. She said that she was lonely and that she needed someone to talk to. + +But Jill and Tom did not listen. They did not care about the lady or her toys. They only cared about Mr. Bear. They hugged him and told him that they loved him and that they would never let him go. They ignored the lady and her knocks and her words. They did not know that she was crying. They did not know that she was leaving. They did not know that they had hurt her feelings. They did not know that they had lost a chance to make a new friend. They did not know that they had been selfish and rude. They did not know that they had made a mistake. They did not know that they had a nightmare. +Lily was a good girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She always said please and thank you, and she shared her toys with her brother. But one day, she did something bad. She took a cookie from the jar without asking, and she ate it in her room. She left crumbs on the floor and on her bed. + +Mom found the crumbs and knew what Lily had done. She was angry and sad. She went to Lily's room and said, "Lily, you know you are not supposed to take cookies without asking. That is stealing and lying. You have to punish for your bad choice. You have to stay in your room for one hour, and you have to clean up the mess. And no more cookies for you today." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry and the cookie looked yummy. I didn't think you would mind. Please don't be mad at me. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily, but you have to learn to follow the rules. Now do as I say, and maybe next time you will think before you act." + +Lily did as Mom said. She stayed in her room and cleaned up the crumbs. She was bored and sad. She wished she had not taken the cookie. She wished she could play with her brother and hug her mom. She looked out the window and saw a bird on a branch. The bird was singing a pretty song. Lily smiled and felt a little better. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was Dad. He came in and said, "Hi, Lily. I heard what happened. I'm sorry you made a bad choice, but I'm proud of you for saying sorry and doing your punish. You are a good girl, and I love you very much." He gave her a big hug and a kiss. He said, "I have a surprise for you. I found this in the garden. It's a flower for you. It's a spirit flower. It means you have a good spirit inside you, and it will help you make good choices in the future. It also means I'm grateful for you, and I'm happy you are my daughter." He gave her the flower and said, "You can keep it in your room, and look at it when you feel sad or angry. It will remind you of how much I love you, and how much you love me." + +Lily was happy and surprised. She said, "Thank you, Dad. You are the best dad in the world. I love you too. And I love the spirit flower. It's beautiful and it smells nice. I will take good care of it, and I will make good choices from now on. I promise." She hugged Dad and said, "Can I come out of my room now?" Dad said, "Yes, you can. Your punish is over. But remember, no more cookies for today. Maybe tomorrow, if you ask nicely." Lily said, "OK, Dad. I understand. Can we go and play with Mom and brother now?" Dad said, "Sure, let's go. But first, let me see your smile." Lily smiled and said, "Like this?" Dad said, "Yes, like that. That's my girl." They walked out of the room, holding hands and the spirit flower. Lily felt happy and grateful. She had learned a lesson, and she had received a gift. She knew she was loved, and she loved her family. She hoped the bird would sing again tomorrow. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big sign near their house. The sign said: "Meeting. Do not enter. Danger." + +Tim and Sam were curious. They wanted to see what was inside. They did not listen to the sign. They thought the sign was stupid. They sneaked past the fence and opened the door. + +Inside, they saw many people in white coats. The people were talking and writing on papers. They had machines and wires and tubes. They did not see Tim and Sam. Tim and Sam saw a big red button. The button said: "Do not push. Explosion." + +Tim and Sam thought the button was fun. They wanted to push it. They did not listen to the button. They thought the button was stupid. They ran to the button and pushed it hard. + +The button made a loud noise. The people in white coats screamed. The machines and wires and tubes sparked and smoked. The door slammed shut. Tim and Sam were trapped. They were scared. They cried. + +The moral of the story is: Do not ignore signs and buttons. They are there for a reason. They can save you from danger. Listen and obey. Do not be stupid. +Tom and Sam are two horses who live on a farm. They like to eat hay and run in the field. One day, the farmer brings a big wagon of hay for them. He says, "This is your hay for the winter. Be careful and don't waste it." + +Tom and Sam are happy to see the hay. They want to eat some right away. But Tom is clumsy. He drops some hay on the ground. He does not pick it up. He says, "It's okay. There is plenty of hay. I can drop some." + +Sam is not clumsy. He does not drop any hay. He picks up the hay that Tom drops. He says, "No, Tom. It's not okay. You should not drop hay. Hay is food. We need it for the winter. If you drop hay, we will have less hay." + +Tom does not listen to Sam. He keeps dropping hay. He thinks it is fun. He says, "You are silly, Sam. Hay is not important. We have a lot of hay. We can drop hay." + +Sam is sad. He tries to save the hay that Tom drops. But he cannot save all of it. Some of it gets dirty or wet or eaten by birds. He says, "Please, Tom. Stop dropping hay. Hay is important. We don't have a lot of hay. We can't drop hay." + +But Tom does not stop. He drops more and more hay. He laughs and says, "You are boring, Sam. Hay is not important. We have too much hay. We can drop hay." + +Soon, the winter comes. It is cold and snowy. There is no grass in the field. Tom and Sam have to eat the hay in the wagon. But there is not enough hay. Tom has dropped too much hay. He is hungry and cold. He says, "Sam, I am hungry and cold. Can I have some of your hay?" + +Sam is not hungry and cold. He has saved enough hay. He says, "No, Tom. You cannot have some of my hay. You dropped your hay. You wasted your hay. You did not care about your hay. Now you have no hay." + +Tom is sorry. He says, "You are right, Sam. I was clumsy and foolish. I dropped my hay. I wasted my hay. I did not care about my hay. Now I have no hay. I wish I had listened to you." + +Sam is kind. He says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can have some of my hay. But you have to learn your lesson. You have to be careful and not waste your hay. You have to care about your hay. Hay is important. You cannot drop hay." + +Tom is grateful. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I will learn my lesson. I will be careful and not waste my hay. I will care about my hay. Hay is important. I will not drop hay." + +The moral of the story is: Don't be clumsy and waste your food. Care about your food. Food is important. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. But Lily was scared of the slide. It looked too high and fast. + +Ben said, "Don't be scared, Lily. I will show you how to slide. It is fun and easy. Just sit on the slide and let go. Then you will feel the motion of the slide. It is like flying." + +Lily watched Ben slide down the slide. He smiled and laughed. He did not look scared at all. He looked happy. He said, "See, Lily? It is not scary. It is fun. Come on, try it." + +Lily took a deep breath and climbed up the slide. She sat on the slide and held on tight. She looked down and felt scared. She wanted to go back. But Ben said, "You can do it, Lily. Just let go and slide. I will catch you at the bottom." + +Lily closed her eyes and let go. She felt the motion of the slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She felt a thrill in her tummy. She opened her eyes and saw Ben waiting for her. She slid into his arms and hugged him. + +She said, "You were right, Ben. It was not scary. It was fun. Thank you for showing me how to slide. Can we do it again?" +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies with the soil. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a big mess. + +"Look at our pies, they are so big and brown!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are! Let's put some flowers on them to make them pretty!" Ben said. + +They picked some flowers from the flower bed and stuck them on their mud pies. They did not see that Mom was watching them from the window. She was not happy. + +"Lily and Ben, come here right now!" Mom called. + +Lily and Ben ran to Mom. They saw that she was angry. They felt bad. + +"What have you done to the garden? You have ruined the flowers and the soil! This is terrible!" Mom said. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We wanted to make pies," Lily said. + +"Pies? These are not pies, these are dirt! You have wasted the soil and the flowers. You have to learn to respect nature and take care of it. Soil is not for playing, it is for growing plants and food. Flowers are not for picking, they are for admiring and smelling. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood that they had done something wrong. They wanted to make Mom happy again. + +"Can we help you fix the garden, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can. You can help me water the plants and put some new soil in the holes. You can also say sorry to the flowers and thank them for their beauty. And next time, if you want to make pies, you can use play dough or flour, not soil," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They followed Mom to the garden and helped her. They worked hard and managed to make the garden look nice again. They also apologized to the flowers and smelled their fragrance. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful and respectful of nature. Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big orange ball in the park. It was shiny and round and bounced very high. They wanted to play with it together. + +"Let me have it first!" Tom said. He grabbed the ball from Sue and ran away. + +"No, that's not fair!" Sue said. She chased after Tom and tried to get the ball back. + +They ran and ran until they reached a fence. Tom threw the ball over the fence and climbed after it. Sue followed him. + +On the other side of the fence, there was a mean dog. It saw the ball and wanted to play with it too. It ran towards the ball and bit it hard. + +POP! The ball broke. It was not a real ball, but a balloon. The air came out and the balloon became small and weak. The dog was angry and barked loudly. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They ran back to the fence and climbed over it. They left the broken balloon behind. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They had been selfish and greedy. They had lost their new toy and made the dog mad. + +"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom said. "I should have shared the ball with you." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sue said. "I should have been nicer to you." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to look for another toy to play with. But this time, they would be careful and kind. They learned their lesson. +Lila and Ben liked to play on the sand. They made castles and holes and bridges. They had a big sack to put their toys in. They were glad to be by the sea. + +One day, a big wave came and washed away their castles and holes and bridges. Lila and Ben were sad. They ran to get their sack, but it was too late. The wave took their sack too. They saw it floating away on the tide. + +"Bye bye, sack! Bye bye, toys!" Lila cried. + +"Wait, Lila! Look!" Ben said. He pointed to a boat. The boat was coming near the shore. The boat had a net. The net caught their sack. + +"Yay, boat! Yay, net!" Ben cheered. + +The boat came closer and closer. Lila and Ben waved and shouted. The people on the boat saw them and smiled. They threw their sack back to them. + +"Thank you, boat! Thank you, net! Thank you, people!" Lila and Ben said. + +They opened their sack and found their toys. They were still wet, but they were still good. They hugged their toys and each other. They were glad again. They made new castles and holes and bridges. They watched the tide go in and out. They played until the sun went down. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a basket that they filled with flowers, fruits and leaves. They liked to pretend they were farmers or fairies or explorers. + +One day, they saw a big sunflower that was taller than them. They wanted to pick it and put it in their basket, but it was too high. They tried to jump and reach it, but they could not. + +"Let's ask mom for help," Tom said. + +"OK," Lily agreed. + +They ran to the house and found mom in the kitchen. She was making a cake with eggs, flour and sugar. It smelled sweet. + +"Mom, can you help us?" Tom asked. + +"What do you need, my loves?" mom asked. + +"We want to pick the big sunflower in the garden, but it is too high," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and put down the spoon. She wiped her hands and followed them to the garden. She saw the sunflower and praised them. + +"What a beautiful sunflower! You have been taking good care of the garden. Do you know how sunflowers grow?" mom asked. + +"No, how?" Tom and Lily asked. + +"Well, they start from a small seed that you plant in the soil. Then they need water and sun to grow. They grow bigger and bigger until they have a yellow flower on top. The flower follows the sun all day, that's why they are called sunflowers. And inside the flower, there are more seeds that you can plant again or eat as a snack," mom explained. + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mom lifted them up one by one and helped them pick the sunflower. They thanked her and hugged her. They put the sunflower in their basket and ran back to the house. They put the basket on the table and admired their treasure. + +"Can we eat the seeds, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but first we have to wash them and dry them. And then we can share them with dad and grandma when they come home. They will love your sunflower too," mom said. + +"OK, mom. Thank you for helping us and teaching us," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. You make me very happy. Now, let's finish the cake and have a sweet treat," mom said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They were a happy family. +Lily and Ben were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They were going to see a new place. It was an island with many trees and animals. Lily and Ben liked to look at the water and the sky. They saw fish and birds and clouds. + +"Look, there it is!" Mom said, pointing at the island. "Are you ready to go and explore?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said, jumping up and down. They put on their hats and shoes and grabbed their backpacks. They wanted to see everything on the island. + +The boat stopped near the shore and a small boat came to take them to the land. Lily and Ben got on the small boat with their mom and dad. They wore orange vests that made them float. The small boat went fast and made waves. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said, feeling the wind and the spray. + +"It seems like an adventure!" Lily said, looking at the island. She saw green hills and white sand and colorful flowers. + +They reached the land and got off the small boat. They thanked the man who drove it and followed a path to a big house. It was where they would stay for a few days. It had a porch and a swing and a hammock. + +"Welcome to the island!" A lady said, smiling. She gave them keys and a map and some cookies. "I hope you enjoy your stay. There are many things to do and see here. You can go to the beach, or the forest, or the village. Just be careful and have fun!" + +"Thank you!" Mom and Dad said, taking the keys and the map and the cookies. They went inside the house and put their things in their rooms. They were tired from the trip, but they were also excited. + +Lily and Ben looked out the window and saw the island. They saw the sun and the palm trees and the birds. They felt happy and curious. + +"Can we go and play now?" Lily asked, putting on her backpack. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said, putting on his backpack. + +Mom and Dad looked at each other and smiled. They were ready to go and play too. + +"Okay, let's go!" Mom said, holding Lily's hand. + +"Come on, let's go!" Dad said, holding Ben's hand. + +They went out the door and started their island adventure. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made a road with some stones and sticks. They zoomed their cars along the road and made loud noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest car!" Ben said. + +"No, I'm the fastest car!" Lily said. + +They raced their cars to see who was faster. Ben's car was red and Lily's car was blue. They both wanted to win. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily's car hit a wire that was on the ground. The wire was wet and shiny. Lily's car got stuck on the wire and stopped moving. + +"Hey, let go of my car!" Lily said. + +"I didn't do anything!" Ben said. + +They both pulled on the wire, but it was too strong. They could not get Lily's car off the wire. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. + +Mum heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the wire and the car. She was angry and scared. + +"Stop, stop, don't touch the wire!" she said. "It's dangerous, it can hurt you!" + +She ran to get some scissors and cut the wire. She freed Lily's car and checked if they were okay. + +"Are you hurt?" she asked. + +"No, we're okay," they said. + +"Good, but you have to be careful. This wire is from the old lamp that broke. It has electricity in it. If you touch it, it can make you disappear. Do you understand?" she said. + +"Yes, we understand," they said. + +They hugged Mum and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the wire again. They played with their cars on a safe road. They still raced, but they also shared and had fun. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She had long hair that she loved to comb every day. One day, Lily went for a walk in the park with her mom.
