+They take the skeleton to the mirror and show it how it looks. The skeleton does not move or talk, but Tom and Lily pretend it does. They say it likes its new clothes and wants to play with them. They make up stories and games with the skeleton.
+
+They have so much fun with the skeleton that they forget the time. They hear their mom calling them from outside. They say goodbye to the skeleton and promise to come back soon. They run to their mom and tell her about their new friend. Their mom smiles and hugs them. She does not know about the skeleton. She thinks they have a big imagination.
+Sara liked to help her mom bake. She would put on her apron and stand on a stool. Mom would let her pour the flour and the sugar and the eggs into a big bowl. Then they would use the mixer to make the batter. The mixer was loud and fast and made the batter smooth and creamy.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to bake a cake by herself. She waited until mom was busy in the garden. She put on her apron and climbed on the stool. She found the flour and the sugar and the eggs in the cupboard. She poured them into the big bowl. But she forgot to use the mixer. She used a spoon instead. The batter was lumpy and sticky and not normal.
+
+Sara put the batter in the oven and set the timer. She was proud of her cake. She went to the garden to tell mom. Mom was surprised and worried. She ran to the kitchen with Sara. They smelled something bad. They opened the oven and saw a mess. The cake was burnt and bubbly and smelled like rotten eggs. Sara started to cry. Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, honey. You tried to do something nice. But baking is not easy. You need to follow the recipe and use the right tools. The mixer belongs in the bowl, not the spoon. Next time, we'll bake together, okay?" Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She learned her lesson. She never baked alone again.
+Lila and Sam were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Lila found a big oyster shell that was shiny and smooth. She opened it and saw a pearl inside.
+
+"Look, Sam, I found a pearl!" she said, holding the oyster shell.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" Sam said, coming closer. "Can I see?"
+
+Lila nodded and gave him the oyster shell. Sam looked at the pearl and smiled. He wanted to keep it for himself. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's play a game," he said. "Who can balance the oyster shell on their nose the longest?"
+
+Lila was eager to play. She liked games. She put the oyster shell on her nose and tried to balance it. Sam did the same. They both stood still and tried not to move.
+
+"Who will win?" Lila asked.
+
+"I will," Sam said. He waited for Lila to look at him. Then he quickly took the oyster shell from his nose and ran away with it.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lila shouted. She ran after him. "Give me back my pearl!"
+
+Sam laughed and ran faster. He thought he was clever. But he did not see the big wave coming. The wave splashed him and made him fall. The oyster shell flew out of his hand and landed in the water.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam cried. He lost the pearl. He felt sorry and sad.
+
+Lila caught up with him and saw what happened. She felt sorry for him too. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. It was just a game. We can find another pearl together."
+
+Sam hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was mean. You are a good sister."
+
+They smiled and walked back to their mom. They learned to share and be kind. They had fun at the beach.
+Sara was a strong girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a pink comb that she used to make their hair look pretty. She always kept her comb in her backpack, because it was her favorite toy.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dolls. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she was afraid they would laugh at her dolls. She decided to sit on a bench and comb her dolls' hair.
+
+"Hi, can I play with you?" a boy asked her. He had curly hair and a big smile. He looked friendly, but Sara was shy.
+
+"Um, okay," Sara said. She moved over to make some space for him on the bench.
+
+"What are their names?" the boy asked, pointing at her dolls.
+
+"This is Lily, and this is Rose," Sara said. She showed him her comb. "I use this to make their hair look pretty."
+
+The boy nodded. He reached out to touch the comb, but Sara pulled it back. She did not want him to take it.
+
+"Can I see it?" the boy asked.
+
+"No, it's mine," Sara said. She held the comb close to her chest. She wanted to protect it.
+
+The boy frowned. He did not like it when people did not share. He tried to grab the comb from Sara, but she resisted. They started to tug and pull on the comb.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Sara shouted. "You're hurting me!"
+
+"Give it to me!" the boy yelled. "It's just a comb!"
+
+"Mommy, help!" Sara cried. She was scared and angry.
+
+Sara's mom heard her cry and ran to the bench. She saw the boy and Sara fighting over the comb. She quickly separated them and hugged Sara.
+
+"What's going on here?" Sara's mom asked.
+
+"He tried to take my comb!" Sara said, sobbing.
+
+"I just wanted to see it!" the boy said, pouting.
+
+Sara's mom looked at the comb. It was bent and broken from the struggle. She felt sorry for Sara, but she also wanted to teach her a lesson.
+
+"Sara, I know you love your comb, but you have to learn to share," Sara's mom said. "It's not nice to be selfish. Maybe the boy just wanted to be your friend."
+
+Sara sniffed. She looked at the boy. He looked sad and sorry. She felt a little bad for him, too.
+
+"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break your comb," the boy said.
+
+"I'm sorry, too," Sara said. She handed him the comb. "Here, you can have it."
+
+The boy smiled. He took the comb and thanked her. He looked at her dolls. "They are very pretty," he said.
+
+"Thank you," Sara said. She smiled back. She felt a little better.
+
+"Can we play together?" the boy asked.
+
+"Okay," Sara said. She picked up her dolls. "Do you want to play on the swings?"
+
+"Sure," the boy said. He followed her to the swings.
+
+Sara's mom watched them go. She was proud of Sara for being strong and kind. She hoped they would become good friends. She threw away the broken comb and went to join them.
+Ben loves to play his guitar. He plays it every day in his room. He likes to make loud noises and sing funny songs. He thinks he is very good at playing guitar.
+
+One day, his mom tells him to stop playing guitar. She says he is making too much noise and he has to do his homework. Ben does not want to do his homework. He thinks it is boring and hard. He wants to play guitar more.
+
+He says to his mom, "No, I will not stop playing guitar. I love guitar. It is fun and easy. You are ignorant. You do not know anything about music."
+
+His mom is very angry. She says, "How dare you talk to me like that? You are rude and disrespectful. You do not appreciate what I do for you. You are not allowed to play guitar anymore. I will take it away from you and lock it in the closet. You will only get it back when you learn to behave and do your homework."
+
+She grabs his guitar and walks away. Ben is very sad and mad. He cries and screams. He tries to follow his mom and get his guitar back. But she is too fast and strong. She locks the guitar in the closet and leaves.
+
+Ben is left alone in his room. He has no guitar, no fun, no music. He has only his homework, his boredom, his anger. He hates his mom. He hates his life. He wishes he never played guitar. He wishes he never talked to his mom. He wishes he was never born. He is very unhappy. The end.
+Anna loves to sing. She sings at home, at school, and in the park. She wants to sing on the big stage, where many people can hear her. She asks her mom to take her to the stage.
+
+Mom says, "Okay, Anna, we can go to the stage. But you have to be brave and try your best. The stage is very big and there are many people watching. Are you sure you want to sing?"
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She is not afraid. She is excited. She puts on her favorite dress and her shiny shoes. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the stage.
+
+When they get to the stage, Anna sees a lot of people sitting in chairs. They are waiting for the show to start. Anna feels a little nervous, but she remembers what mom said. She has to be brave and try her best.
+
+She goes up to the stage and stands in front of the microphone. She looks at the people and smiles. She opens her mouth and starts to sing. But then, something bad happens. She forgets the words. She stops singing and looks at mom. She feels miserable. She wants to cry.
+
+Mom sees Anna and runs to the stage. She hugs Anna and says, "It's okay, Anna, it's okay. You tried your best and I'm proud of you. Don't be sad. Everyone makes mistakes. You can sing again another day. I love you, Anna."
+
+Anna hugs mom and says, "I love you, mom. Thank you for being with me. I'm sorry I forgot the words. I still love to sing."
+
+Mom says, "I know, Anna, I know. You have a beautiful voice and a big heart. You can sing anytime you want. Come on, let's go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna smiles and says, "That sounds good, mom. That sounds very good."
+Lily loved purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple teddy bear. She liked to play with her purple things in her room. One day, her mom said, "Lily, it's time for a shower. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily did not want to go. She wanted to stay with her purple things. She said, "No, mom, no shower. I play with purple."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lily. A very exciting surprise. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily was curious. She liked surprises. She said, "Yes, mom, what is it?"
+
+Mom took her hand and led her to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and said, "Look, Lily, look at the water. What color is it?"
+
+Lily gasped. The water was purple! It was a purple shower! She said, "Wow, mom, wow! Purple shower! How?"
+
+Mom said, "I put some purple dye in the shower head. It's safe and fun. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was very excited. She said, "Yes, mom, yes! I want purple shower!"
+
+Mom helped her take off her clothes and put on a purple towel. She said, "Okay, Lily, go ahead. Have fun with the purple shower. But don't drink the water, okay?"
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom, okay." She ran into the shower and felt the purple water on her skin. She laughed and splashed and sang. She felt like a purple princess. She said, "Thank you, mom, thank you! I love purple shower!"
+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily, you're welcome. I love you, my purple girl."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they always wanted the same one. One day, they both saw a shiny red car on the sink. They ran to grab it, but they got there at the same time.
+
+"Mine!" Lily shouted, pulling the car.
+
+"No, mine!" Max yelled, tugging the car.
+
+They both pulled so hard that the car flew out of their hands and hit the faucet. Water started to spray everywhere, making a loud noise and a big mess.
+
+"Stop!" their mom said, running into the kitchen. She turned off the water and looked at the wet twins and the broken car. "What happened here?"
+
+"Lily and Max wanted the same car and they fought over it," they said in a small voice.
+
+"That was not nice. You should share your toys and take turns. Fighting only leads to trouble. Now you have no car and a wet kitchen. How do you feel?"
+
+"Sorry," Lily and Max said, looking down.
+
+"Sorry is good, but not enough. You need to help me clean up this mess and say sorry to each other. Then you can play with another toy, but only if you agree to share."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They helped their mom wipe the water and the car pieces. Then they hugged each other and said sorry. They learned their lesson and decided to be more kind and fair. They found a yellow truck and a blue plane on the shelf and played happily together.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park on Sunday. They had a ball, a bike and a kite. They had fun.
+
+One Sunday, they saw a bald man. He had a big bag. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?"
+
+Lily and Ben liked candy. They nodded. The bald man said, "Come with me. I have more candy in my car."
+
+Lily and Ben followed the bald man. They did not see the sign that said, "Danger. Do not enter." They did not hear the dog that barked. They did not know the bald man was bad.
+
+The bald man took them to his car. He locked the door. He drove away. He laughed. Lily and Ben cried. They wished they had not nodded. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had listened to their mom.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with different pictures. Today, they want to make a puzzle with a green frog.
+
+They open the box and take out the pieces. They put them on the floor and try to find the ones that fit together. Tom finds the frog's head and Lily finds the frog's legs. They are happy.
+
+"Look, I have the head!" Tom says.
+
+"Good! I have the legs!" Lily says.
+
+They look for the other pieces. They find the frog's eyes, nose, mouth and feet. They put them next to the head and the legs. They are almost done.
+
+But they cannot find the last piece. It is the frog's belly. They look everywhere. They look under the box, under the sofa, under the table. They cannot see it.
+
+"Where is it?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know!" Lily says.
+
+They are sad. They want to finish the puzzle.
+
+Then they hear a sound. It is a whistle. It comes from the window. They look outside. They see a bird. It is a green bird. It has something in its beak. It is the puzzle piece!
+
+The bird whistles again. It flies to the window and drops the piece on the floor. Tom and Lily are surprised. They run to the piece and pick it up. It is the frog's belly!
+
+"Thank you, bird!" Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, bird!" Lily says.
+
+They put the piece in the puzzle. The puzzle is complete. The frog is smiling. Tom and Lily are smiling too. They clap their hands and whistle like the bird. The bird whistles back and flies away. Tom and Lily are happy. They hug each other and the puzzle. They love puzzles and birds.
+Anna was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to read books and draw pictures, but no one wanted to join her. She wished she had someone to talk to and share her ideas.
+
+One day, she saw a big box in the corner of the classroom. It was full of old toys and games. She wondered what was inside. She asked the teacher if she could look. The teacher said yes, but be careful. Anna opened the box and started to discover many things. She found a doll, a puzzle, a ball, a car, and more. She was very happy.
+
+She picked up the doll and hugged it. The doll had a button on its chest. Anna pressed it and heard a voice. "Hello, I'm Daisy. Do you want to be my friend?" Anna was surprised and excited. She answered, "Yes, I do. I'm Anna. What can we do?" The doll said, "We can play, talk, and have fun. I have some news for you. You are not lonely anymore. You have me."
+
+Anna smiled and felt warm in her heart. She had found a new friend in the box. She thanked the teacher and took the doll to her seat. She played with it and talked to it all day. She felt happy and not lonely anymore. She hoped the doll would always be with her. She had discovered a treasure in the box.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Lily wanted to pick up an acorn and balance it on her nose. She thought it would be fun and funny.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can balance an acorn on my nose!" she said, holding an acorn in her hand.
+
+"Let me try, let me try!" Ben said, reaching for the acorn.
+
+But Lily did not want to share. She wanted to keep the acorn for herself. She pulled the acorn away from Ben and put it on her nose.
+
+"No, it's mine, it's mine!" she said, trying to balance the acorn.
+
+Ben was angry. He wanted to balance an acorn too. He thought Lily was not nice. He pushed Lily and made her fall. The acorn fell off her nose and rolled away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair, that's not fair!" Lily said, crying.
+
+They both got up and ran after the acorn. But they were too late. A squirrel saw the acorn and grabbed it with its teeth. It ran up the tree and hid the acorn in a hole.
+
+"Hey, that's our acorn, that's our acorn!" Lily and Ben said, pointing at the squirrel.
+
+But the squirrel did not care. It looked at them and made a noise. It was happy with its acorn. It had a great snack.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their acorn. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were silly. They should have shared the acorn and played together.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry," Ben said, hugging Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said, hugging Ben.
+
+They forgave each other and smiled. They decided to find another acorn and balance it together. They learned to share and be nice. They had a great day.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It had a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The dog might bite," Tom said.
+
+They went to the dog. The dog was friendly. It licked their hands and wagged its tail. Lily and Tom smiled. They liked the dog.
+
+"Can I kiss the dog?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"OK, but be gentle. The dog might not like it," Tom said.
+
+Lily kissed the dog on its head. The dog did not like it. It growled and barked. It jumped on Lily and knocked her down. It bit her hair and pulled it hard. Lily screamed and cried. Tom was scared. He ran away.
+
+A man came and took the dog away. He said sorry to Lily. He said the dog was not his. He said the dog was lost and angry. He said Lily should not kiss strange dogs. He said she should go to the doctor.
+
+Lily was hurt and sad. She had a big cut on her head. She had messy hair. She had no friend. She learned a lesson. She learned to be careful with animals. She learned to ask before she kissed. She learned to not trust strangers. She learned to be brave.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. But Tim wanted to play with Lily's red car, and Lily did not want to share. She said it was her favorite car and she got it for her birthday.
+
+Tim got angry and tried to grab the car from Lily's hand. Lily pulled it back and shouted, "No, Tim, it's mine!" They started to fight and tug on the car. They did not hear their mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+Mom came into the living room and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you! You need to share and be nice to each other. Fighting is not good. You can hurt each other and break your toys."
+
+She took the red car from them and put it on the shelf. She said, "No one can play with this car until you say sorry and hug each other." She went back to the kitchen.
+
+Tim and Lily looked at each other. They both wanted the red car, but they also did not want to make mom angry. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Sorry, Tim." "Sorry, Lily." They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+They decided to play with their other cars and take turns. They made noises and pretended they were racing again. They had fun and forgot about the red car.
+
+But they did not see the cat on the shelf. The cat was curious and saw the red car. It looked shiny and fun. The cat pawed at the car and pushed it off the shelf. The car fell on the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+Tim and Lily heard the noise and looked at the floor. They saw the broken car and the cat. They gasped and cried. They said, "Oh no, the red car!" "Bad cat!"
+
+Mom heard them and came into the living room again. She saw the broken car and the cat. She said, "Oh no, what happened?" She picked up the cat and covered it with a blanket. She said, "Don't be mad at the cat. It did not know. It was just playing. It's sorry too."
+
+She looked at the car and saw that it was beyond repair. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Your car is broken. I know it was your favorite. But it's just a toy. You still have your other cars and your brother. They are more important than a toy."
+
+She hugged Lily and Tim and said, "I love you both. You are good kids. You learned to share and be nice to each other. That makes me happy. How about we go to the store and buy a new car for Lily? Maybe we can find one that you both like."
+
+Lily and Tim nodded and wiped their tears. They said, "We love you too, mom. Thank you." They smiled and hugged mom and the cat. They went to the store and found a new car. It was blue and had a cell phone on it. It was cool and fun. They both liked it and played with it together. They were happy.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the sand. They made a big castle with towers and walls. They were proud of their castle. They put shells and stones on it to make it look nice.
+
+But then a big wind came and blew the sand away. The castle was gone. Sam and Lily were sad and angry. They blamed each other for the wind.
+
+"It's your fault, Lily! You made the castle too high!" Sam shouted.
+
+"No, it's your fault, Sam! You made the castle too close to the water!" Lily shouted back.
+
+They stopped playing and turned away from each other. They did not want to be friends anymore.
+
+But then they saw something shiny in the sand. They walked closer and saw a small pool of water with palm trees and flowers around it. It was an oasis. They had never seen an oasis before. It looked like a magic place.
+
+They forgot about their castle and their fight. They ran to the oasis and dipped their feet in the water. It was cool and refreshing. They saw fish and frogs and birds in the oasis. They smiled and laughed.
+
+"Look, Sam, a rainbow!" Lily pointed to the sky.
+
+"Wow, Lily, it's beautiful!" Sam agreed.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry for their words. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"I forgive you, Lily. You are my best friend." Sam said.
+
+"I forgive you, Sam. You are my best friend too." Lily said.
+
+They played in the oasis until the sun set. They were happy and thankful for their friendship. They did not care about the sand or the wind anymore. They only cared about each other.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with their bikes. They always wear helmets to be safe. One day, they want to go to the park. But their bikes are messy. They have to organize them first.
+
+"Let's put our helmets here," Tom says. He points to a shelf. "And our water bottles here." He points to a basket.
+
+"OK," Sam says. He follows Tom. They put their things in the right places. They are good at organizing.
+
+They are ready to go. They get on their bikes. They ride to the park. They have fun. They see other kids. They say hello. They share their bikes. They are friendly.
+
+They also see a dog. The dog is big and brown. He has a collar. He is looking for his owner. He is loyal. He does not run away. He waits.
+
+"Who is your owner, boy?" Tom asks. He pets the dog. The dog wags his tail. He likes Tom.
+
+"Maybe he is lost," Sam says. He feels sorry for the dog. He gives him some water. The dog drinks. He is thirsty.
+
+They decide to help the dog. They look around. They see a man. He is calling for the dog. He is the owner. He is happy.
+
+"Thank you for finding my dog," he says. He hugs the dog. The dog licks his face. He is happy too.
+
+"You're welcome," Tom and Sam say. They smile. They are glad. They have done a good thing. They are kind.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside the box, there were many shiny things. They were jewels!
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Sara said. She picked up a necklace with a red jewel. "This is so pretty!"
+
+Tom nodded. He grabbed a bracelet with a blue jewel. "This is so cool!"
+
+They put the jewels on their necks and wrists. They felt very happy. They pretended to be a princess and a prince.
+
+But then, a man came to the park. He was angry and scary. He saw the box and the jewels. He shouted at Sara and Tom.
+
+"Hey, you! Those are my jewels! Give them back to me, now!"
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He caught them and snatched the jewels from them. He was very rough. He tore the necklace and the bracelet. The jewels fell to the ground.
+
+Sara and Tom cried. They felt very sad. They had lost their jewels and their game.
+
+The man laughed. He picked up the jewels and put them back in the box. He did not care that he had hurt Sara and Tom. He was very mean.
+
+He walked away with the box. He did not see a policeman who was watching him. The policeman had seen everything. He followed the man and stopped him.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop right there! Those are not your jewels! They are stolen from the museum! You are under arrest!"
+
+The man was shocked. He tried to run away, but the policeman was faster. He caught him and handcuffed him. He took the box and the jewels. He was very brave.
+
+He went back to Sara and Tom. He smiled at them. He gave them a hug.
+
+"I'm sorry that he scared you and tore your jewels. He was a bad man. He took the jewels from a place where people can see them and learn about them. They are very old and valuable. They are not for playing."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They understood. They felt sorry for the jewels.
+
+"Can we see them again?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course. You can come to the museum with me. I will show you the jewels and tell you their stories. They are very interesting."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled. They liked the policeman. He was very kind.
+
+They went to the museum with him. They saw the jewels and many other things. They learned a lot. They had fun.
+
+They forgot about the man who tore their jewels. He was very poor. He had no friends and no joy. He was in jail.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the birds could fly, and why the stars twinkled at night. She also wondered what it would be like to have a birthday party, because she had never had one before.
+
+One day, her mother told her that she had a surprise for her. She took her to the kitchen, where there was a big cake with four candles on it. "Happy birthday, Lily!" her mother said. "This is your special day. You can make a wish and blow out the candles."
+
+Lily was very happy and excited. She had never seen a cake like that before. She thought the candles were very pretty and bright. She wondered what she should wish for. She looked at her mother, who smiled and nodded. She looked at the cake, which smelled very good. She looked at the candles, which flickered and danced.
+
+She decided to wish for something very simple, but very important. She wished to be happy and loved every day. She thought that was better than any toy or dress or candy. She closed her eyes and blew out the candles. The candles went out with a soft sound.
+
+"Did you make a wish, Lily?" her mother asked.
+
+"Yes, I did," Lily said.
+
+"What did you wish for?" her mother asked.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mother. "I wished to be happy and loved every day," she said.
+
+Her mother hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "That's a wonderful wish, Lily," she said. "And you know what? It's already true. You are happy and loved every day, by me and by many others. You are not an ordinary girl, Lily. You are a very special girl, and I'm so proud of you."
+
+Lily felt warm and cozy in her mother's arms. She felt happy and loved. She thought that this was the best birthday ever. She wondered what other surprises her mother had for her. She wondered what other things she would learn and see and do as she grew up. She wondered what other wishes she would make in the future. She wondered, and she smiled.
+Tim and Lily like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with big wheels and pedals. They wear helmets and gloves to be safe.
+
+One day, they see a bird on the ground. It does not move or sing. It has a lot of blood on its feathers. Tim and Lily stop their bikes and look at the bird.
+
+"What is wrong with the bird?" Lily asks.
+
+"I think it is dead," Tim says.
+
+"What does dead mean?" Lily asks.
+
+Tim thinks for a moment. He does not know how to explain dead to Lily. He says, "Dead means the bird cannot fly or sing or breathe anymore. It is very sad."
+
+Lily feels sad too. She likes birds. She says, "Can we help the bird?"
+
+Tim shakes his head. He says, "No, we cannot help the bird. It is too late. We can only say goodbye to the bird."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Goodbye, bird. We are sorry you are dead."
+
+Tim and Lily make a cross with two sticks and put it next to the bird. Then they get back on their bikes and pedal away. They hope the bird is happy in the sky.
+Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a secret club that only they knew about. The club had a special sign, a handshake and a password. The club also had a rule: be loyal to your friend.
+
+One day, they saw a new kid in the park. His name was Max. He had a big bike and a cool hat. He asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to play with him. Sara said yes, but Ben said no. He did not like Max. He thought Max was mean and bossy.
+
+"Why don't you want to play with him?" Sara asked Ben.
+
+"Because he is not in our club. He does not know our sign, our handshake or our password. He is not our friend. He is a stranger." Ben said.
+
+"But he looks fun. Maybe we can include him in our club. Maybe he can be our friend." Sara said.
+
+"No, we can't. That would break our rule. We have to be loyal to each other. If you play with him, you are not loyal to me." Ben said.
+
+Sara felt sad. She did not want to make Ben angry, but she also wanted to try something new. She looked at Max, who was waiting for her. She looked at Ben, who was frowning at her. She had to make a choice.
+
+She decided to go with Max. She said sorry to Ben and ran to Max. Ben felt hurt and angry. He said goodbye to Sara and left. He did not want to see her anymore.
+
+Sara and Max had fun for a while. They rode his bike, played catch and ate ice cream. But soon, Sara realized that Max was not very nice. He did not share his bike, he threw the ball too hard and he ate all the ice cream. He also made fun of Sara's clothes, her hair and her club. He said her club was silly and stupid. He said her sign, her handshake and her password were dumb. He said her friend Ben was a loser and a baby.
+
+Sara felt bad. She did not like what Max was saying. She missed Ben. She wished she had stayed with him. She wanted to go back to him. She looked for an exit. She saw a gate that led to the street. She said goodbye to Max and ran to the gate. She hoped Ben was still there.
+
+But when she got to the gate, she saw that Ben was gone. He had taken his bike and left. She did not see him anywhere. She felt lonely and sorry. She had lost her best friend. She had broken their rule. She had not been loyal to him.
+
+She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some people are not what they seem. She learned that some people are not worth playing with. She learned that some people are not true friends. She learned that being loyal to your friend is more important than anything else. She learned that she should have listened to Ben. She learned that she should have stayed with him. She learned that he was her real friend. She learned that she loved him.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to explore the forest. They were independent and did not need their mom to tell them what to do. They knew how to find good things to eat, like nuts and berries.
+
+One day, they found a big bush with red berries. They were hungry and wanted to taste them. Sara picked one and put it in her mouth. She made a face and spat it out. "Yuck! This berry is sour and bitter!" she said.
+
+Ben laughed and picked another one. He bit it and smiled. "This berry is sweet and juicy!" he said. "You picked the wrong one, Sara. You have to look for the ones that are shiny and soft, not dull and hard."
+
+Sara was not happy. She wanted a sweet berry too. She looked at the bush and saw that there were not many shiny and soft berries left. Most of them were dull and hard. She had an idea. She took the sour berry from the ground and replaced it with a sweet berry from Ben's hand. She pretended to pick it from the bush and ate it. "Mmm, this berry is good!" she said.
+
+Ben was confused. He looked at his hand and saw the sour berry. He looked at the bush and saw the sweet berry was gone. He realized what Sara had done. He was angry and sad. He liked to share with his sister, but she had tricked him. He said, "Sara, that is not fair! You replaced my berry with a bad one. You should not do that. That is mean and selfish."
+
+Sara felt sorry. She saw that Ben was hurt. She knew she had done something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was greedy and sneaky. I wanted a sweet berry too, but I should have asked you. You are a good brother and you always share with me. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben looked at Sara and saw that she was sincere. He loved his sister and he wanted to be friends again. He said, "I forgive you, Sara. But next time, please be honest and kind. There are enough berries for both of us. We can find more if we work together."
+
+Sara nodded and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are right. We are a team and we can help each other. Let's go and find more berries. And this time, I will share with you."
+
+They smiled and ran to the next bush. They picked and ate the sweet berries. They were happy and full. They learned a lesson and became closer. They were independent, but they also cared for each other.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with water. They have a big hose and a spray bottle. They wear helmets to keep their heads dry.
+
+One day, they see a weird bug in the garden. It has many legs and eyes. It is green and shiny. Tom and Sam are curious. They want to look at the bug.
+
+"Let's spray it with water!" Tom says. He picks up the hose and turns it on. He aims at the bug.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Sam says. He picks up the spray bottle and shakes it. He has a plan. "Let's spray it with this!"
+
+"What is that?" Tom asks. He looks at the bottle. It has a label. It says "Soap".
+
+"It makes bubbles!" Sam says. He sprays the bug with the soap. The bug gets covered with bubbles. It looks funny.
+
+Tom laughs. He sprays the bug with water. The bubbles pop. The bug gets wet and angry. It runs away.
+
+Tom and Sam high-five. They are happy. They spray each other with water and soap. They make more bubbles. They have fun.
+Ben and Lily like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, towers, bridges and more. They have fun with blocks.
+
+One day, they decide to build a big circle with blocks. They put blocks on the floor and make a round shape. They are happy with their circle. They sit inside the circle and pretend it is their fort.
+
+But then, Tom comes along. Tom is older and bigger than Ben and Lily. He sees their circle and he wants to play too. He says, "Move over, I want to join your fort." He tries to push his way inside the circle.
+
+Ben and Lily are scared and angry. They say, "No, Tom, this is our circle. We built it. You can't come in. Go away." They try to block Tom with their arms and legs.
+
+Tom is mad and mean. He says, "Fine, if I can't join your circle, I will break it." He kicks and throws the blocks. He makes the circle fall apart. He laughs and runs away.
+
+Ben and Lily are sad and hurt. They cry and hug each other. They look at their broken circle and their scattered blocks. They don't want to play anymore.
+
+Then, Mom comes along. She sees what happened and she feels sorry for Ben and Lily. She says, "Oh, my poor babies, what did Tom do to you? He was very rude and naughty. He should not have broken your circle. I will talk to his mom later. Come here, let me hug you."
+
+She hugs Ben and Lily and kisses their heads. She says, "Don't worry, you can build another circle. Or you can build something else. You have many blocks and you have each other. You are very smart and creative. You can make anything you want. And I will help you."
+
+She helps Ben and Lily pick up the blocks and put them in a box. She says, "Let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies and milk. Then we can come back and play again. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily smile and nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, thank you. We love you." They hold Mom's hands and walk to the kitchen. They feel better and hopeful. They still like to play with blocks. They still like to build things. They still like to have fun. They are peaceful and happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Lily was the hero and Tom was the villain. Tom had a big closet where he hid his toys and clothes. He said it was his secret base.
+
+"Give me back my teddy bear, you mean villain!" Lily shouted. She had a soft teddy bear that she loved very much. Tom had taken it and locked it in his closet. He was envious of Lily's teddy bear. He wanted it for himself.
+
+"Never! It's mine now!" Tom said. He laughed and ran to his closet. He locked the door and turned off the light. He hugged the teddy bear and smiled.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She wanted to rescue her teddy bear. She knocked on the closet door and said, "Please, Tom, give me back my teddy bear. It's not nice to take things that are not yours."
+
+"No, go away!" Tom said. He did not want to share. He did not care about Lily's feelings.
+
+Lily tried to open the closet door, but it was too hard. She could not break it. She looked around and saw a chair. She had an idea. She dragged the chair to the closet and climbed on it. She reached for the doorknob and turned it. The door opened a little bit. She saw a crack of light and the teddy bear's ear.
+
+"Ha! I got you!" Lily said. She grabbed the teddy bear and pulled it out. She was happy. She jumped off the chair and ran to her bed. She hugged the teddy bear and said, "I rescued you, my teddy bear. I love you."
+
+But then, something bad happened. The chair fell over and hit the closet door. The door slammed shut and locked. Tom was still inside. He was scared and alone. He screamed and cried. He wanted to get out. He banged on the door and said, "Help! Help! Let me out!"
+
+Lily heard Tom's voice. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. She ran to the closet and tried to open the door. But it was too late. The door was stuck. She could not open it. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to lock you in. Please, don't be mad at me."
+
+But Tom did not hear her. He was too loud and too scared. He kept screaming and crying. He wished he had not taken Lily's teddy bear. He wished he had been nice to her. He wished he had a hero to rescue him. But there was no hero. There was only a closet. A dark and lonely closet. The end.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing. They went faster and faster until they felt dizzy. They laughed and held on tight.
+
+"Look, a big dog!" Lily said, pointing to a furry animal that ran towards them. Tim liked dogs, but this one was very big and loud. It barked and showed its teeth.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tim shouted, but the dog did not listen. It jumped on the round thing and tried to bite them. Tim and Lily were frightened. They screamed and let go of the round thing. They fell on the grass and rolled away from the dog.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. A man came running from the other side of the park. He was the dog's owner. He grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it off the round thing.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, I'm sorry!" he said. "He's not a bad dog, he just likes to play. He didn't mean to scare you."
+
+Tim and Lily were still scared. They did not want to play with the dog. They got up and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves?" she asked. "What happened?"
+
+"A big dog chased us on the round thing!" Tim said.
+
+"It was very mean and scary!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the man and the dog. The man waved and said sorry again. The dog wagged its tail and looked sorry too.
+
+"I'm glad you're safe, my loves," Mom said. "But not all dogs are mean and scary. Some dogs are nice and friendly. Maybe next time you can say hello to the dog and pet it gently. Then it will be your friend."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They felt better. They still liked to spin on the round thing, but they also liked to make new friends.
+Jen and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to organize their toys. They leave them everywhere in their room.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Jen and Sam, you have to organize your toys. If you do not, you will not get a regular snack. You will have to wait until dinner."
+
+Jen and Sam do not want to wait. They love snack time. They say, "OK, Mom, we will organize our toys."
+
+But they do not. They play with their toys instead. They have fun. They forget about snack time.
+
+Mom comes back to their room. She sees the mess. She says, "Jen and Sam, you did not organize your toys. You did not listen to me. Now you have to wait until dinner. No snack for you."
+
+Jen and Sam are sad. They are hungry. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we will organize our toys now."
+
+But it is too late. Mom says, "No, you will organize your toys after dinner. And you will not get dessert either. Maybe next time you will do what I say."
+
+Jen and Sam learn their lesson. They do not like to wait. They do not like to miss snack and dessert. They decide to organize their toys every day. They want to have a regular snack and a happy Mom.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see many trees and flowers. They see many colors. They like to smell the flowers.
+
+One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a big hose. The hose sprays water on the grass. Lila and Ben are curious. They go near the truck.
+
+"Hello," says a man. He wears a hat and gloves. He holds the hose. "I am watering the grass. Do you know why?"
+
+Lila and Ben shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"The grass needs water to grow. And to stay green. Do you know what season it is?"
+
+Lila and Ben think. They remember what their mom told them.
+
+"It is fall," says Lila.
+
+"That's right," says the man. "Fall is when the leaves change color. And fall off the trees. And the air gets colder. And the days get shorter."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They understand.
+
+"But some grass stays green all year. Do you know what kind of grass that is?"
+
+Lila and Ben shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"It is modern grass," says the man. "Modern grass is not real. It is made of plastic. It looks like grass. But it does not grow. Or change. Or need water."
+
+Lila and Ben are surprised. They touch the grass. It feels soft. But not wet.
+
+"Why do you use modern grass?" asks Ben.
+
+"Because it is easy to take care of. And it does not spread. Real grass can spread. And take over other plants. And make a mess. Modern grass stays in one place. And looks nice."
+
+Lila and Ben think. They like real grass. And real flowers. And real trees. They like to see them grow. And change. And smell them.
+
+They thank the man. And say goodbye. They run to the other side of the park. Where there is real grass. And real flowers. And real trees.
+
+They play in the park. They see many colors. They smell the flowers. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with smoke coming out of it. They wanted to go closer and see what it was.
+
+"Let's go to the hill, Sue. Maybe we can find something fun there," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom. That is a volcano. It is very hot and dangerous. Mom and Dad told us to stay away from it," Sue said.
+
+Tom did not listen to Sue. He ignored her and ran to the volcano. He thought it was a game. He wanted to touch the smoke and the rocks.
+
+"Tom, come back! You are being silly and naughty. The volcano can hurt you," Sue shouted.
+
+But Tom did not hear Sue. He was too busy climbing the volcano. He did not see the red lava bubbling inside. He did not feel the ground shaking. He did not hear the loud boom.
+
+Suddenly, the volcano erupted. It threw fire and ash and rocks into the air. It was very scary and loud. Tom was too close to the volcano. He could not run away. He was trapped by the lava and the smoke. He screamed for help, but no one could hear him.
+
+Sue saw what happened. She was very sad and scared. She wished she could help Tom, but it was too late. She ran back to her house and told Mom and Dad what happened. They hugged her and cried. They called the police and the firemen, but they could not save Tom. He was gone.
+
+The volcano was empty now. It did not smoke or boom anymore. It was quiet and still. But Tom was not there. He was gone forever. Sue missed him a lot. She wished he had listened to her. She wished they had played somewhere else. She wished they were still friends.
+Sam and Mia liked to play on the sand. They made castles and holes and bridges. They had a bucket and a spade and a ball. They were happy.
+
+But then the tide came in. The water got closer and closer to their sand. It washed away their castles and holes and bridges. Sam and Mia were sad.
+
+"Go away, tide!" Sam shouted. "You are mean! You ruined our sand!"
+
+But the tide did not listen. It kept coming in. It reached their bucket and spade and ball. It took them away.
+
+"Stop, tide!" Mia cried. "You are bad! You stole our toys!"
+
+But the tide did not care. It kept coming in. It touched their feet. It was cold.
+
+"Run, Sam! Run, Mia!" their mom called. "The tide is too high! It is not safe!"
+
+Sam and Mia ran to their mom. They hugged her. She wrapped them in a towel. It was warm.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, Mia." their mom said. "The tide is not mean or bad. It is just the water. It goes in and out. Sometimes it is low and sometimes it is high. That is how it works."
+
+Sam and Mia looked at the water. It was still coming in. It covered their sand. They could not see their castles or holes or bridges. They could not see their bucket or spade or ball.
+
+"Will we get them back, mom?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe, Sam. Maybe." their mom said. "When the tide goes out, it might leave them on the sand. Or it might take them somewhere else. We don't know."
+
+Sam and Mia felt sad. They liked their sand and their toys. They did not like the tide.
+
+But then they saw something. It was shiny and pretty. It was a shell. The tide had left it on the sand.
+
+"Look, Mia! Look, mom!" Sam said. "A shell! The tide gave us a shell!"
+
+Mia smiled. She took the shell. She held it to her ear. She heard a sound. It was like the water.
+
+"Listen, Sam! Listen, mom!" Mia said. "A sound! The tide gave us a sound!"
+
+Sam smiled. He took the shell. He held it to his ear. He heard the sound. It was like the water.
+
+They shared the shell. They listened to the sound. They felt happy.
+
+"Thank you, tide." Sam said.
+
+"Thank you, tide." Mia said.
+
+"Thank you, tide." their mom said.
+Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. But they have only one soap. The soap is rare. It is pink and smells like flowers.
+
+One day, Mia and Ben want to use the soap at the same time. Mia says, "It is my turn. I want the soap." Ben says, "No, it is my turn. I want the soap." They both pull the soap. The soap slips from their hands. It falls on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia and Ben say. They look at the soap. It is broken. It is in two pieces. Mia and Ben are sad. They both like the soap. They do not want to share it.
+
+Mama hears them cry. She comes to the bath. She sees the soap. She says, "What happened? Why are you crying?" Mia and Ben tell her. They say, "We broke the soap. It is rare. We are sorry."
+
+Mama hugs them. She says, "It is okay. I have a surprise for you. I have another soap. It is also rare. It is blue and smells like mint." She shows them the soap. Mia and Ben are happy. They say, "Wow! Thank you, Mama. Can we share it?"
+
+Mama says, "Yes, you can. Sharing is good. It makes you and others happy. Now, let's finish the bath. You can use both soaps. But be careful. Do not drop them." Mia and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mama. We will be careful. We will share." They smile and play with the soaps. They have fun in the bath.
+Lila and her dog Rex were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Lila gave the snowman her scarf to keep him warm. She said, "You are our new friend, Mr. Snowman. We will come back and play with you tomorrow."
+
+But when they went home, Lila forgot to take her scarf back. She left it on the snowman's neck. Rex saw the scarf and barked. He wanted to get it for Lila. He was a loyal dog and he loved Lila very much.
+
+Rex ran back to the snowman and tried to pull the scarf off. But the scarf was frozen and stuck. Rex could not get it. He was sad and cold. He looked for a way to go home. But the gate was locked. Lila had locked it when they left. Rex could not unlock it. He was trapped.
+
+He howled and howled, hoping that Lila would hear him. He missed Lila and he wanted to be with her. He was sorry that he left her.
+
+Lila heard Rex's howls from her window. She wondered why he was not with her. She looked outside and saw him by the snowman. She saw her scarf on the snowman's neck. She realized what had happened. She felt bad for Rex. She grabbed her coat and her key and ran outside.
+
+She unlocked the gate and hugged Rex. She said, "I'm sorry, Rex. I forgot my scarf. You were trying to get it for me. You are a good and loyal dog. I love you, Rex." She took her scarf back and wrapped it around Rex's neck. She said, "Now you are warm and cozy. Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa."
+
+Rex wagged his tail and licked Lila's face. He was happy and grateful. He followed Lila inside. They snuggled on the couch and drank hot cocoa. They looked at the snowman from the window and smiled. They were glad to have each other and their new friend, Mr. Snowman.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to drive them on the carpet and make noises. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can drive very fast!" Tom said, zooming his car across the floor.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are good at driving!" Lily said, admiring his car. "Can I try your car?"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. It is my favorite car." Tom said, handing her his car.
+
+Lily took the car and drove it slowly. She wanted to see how it worked. She turned it over and looked at the wheels. She saw a small button on the side. She wondered what it did. She pressed it.
+
+Suddenly, the car made a loud noise and started to move by itself. It drove out of the living room and into the hallway. Lily and Tom ran after it.
+
+"Stop, car, stop!" Lily shouted, trying to catch it.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, what did you do?" Tom said, worried. "That is the turbo button. It makes the car go very fast and crazy."
+
+The car drove around the house, bumping into walls and doors. It knocked over a vase and a lamp. It scared the cat and the dog. Lily and Tom could not stop it.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried, hoping someone would hear them.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the car driving wildly and the mess it made. They were not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked, sternly.
+
+"Lily pressed the turbo button!" Tom said, pointing at his car.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't know!" Lily said, sadly.
+
+Mom and Dad picked up the car and turned it off. They gave it back to Tom and hugged Lily.
+
+"It's OK, Lily, you didn't mean to do it. But you should always ask before you touch someone else's toy." Mom said, gently.
+
+"And you should be more careful with your toys, Tom. They are not for making trouble." Dad said, firmly.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and said they were sorry. They helped Mom and Dad clean up the mess. They learned their lesson and promised to play nicely with their cars.
+Tim and Lily are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tim has a red car and Lily has a blue car. They pretend they are racing on a big road.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest!" Tim says.
+
+"No, I'm the fastest!" Lily says.
+
+They zoom their cars around the floor. But then, Tim's car stops moving. He looks at it and sees that it has no oil. Oil is what makes the car go. Tim is sad.
+
+"Ha, ha, your car is broken!" Lily says. "My car has oil and it can go!"
+
+Tim feels angry. He wants to play with his car. He looks at Lily's car and sees that it has a lot of oil. He has an idea. He waits until Lily is not looking and he takes her car. He puts his car in its place. He thinks Lily will not notice.
+
+"Hey, that's my car!" Lily says when she sees Tim with her car. "You took my car! Give it back!"
+
+"No, this is my car!" Tim says. "Your car is over there!"
+
+Lily looks at the car that Tim left. She sees that it has no oil. She knows that it is not her car. She knows that Tim is lying. She knows that he replaced her car with his car. She knows that he has a fake car.
+
+"That's not my car! That's your car!" Lily says. "You have a fake car! You are a cheater!"
+
+She runs to Tim and tries to get her car back. Tim holds on to it and does not let go. They start to fight. They pull and push and yell. They are not having fun anymore. They are not friends anymore.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a chubby dog named Spot who followed them everywhere.
+
+One day, their mom told them that a hurricane was coming. She said they had to stay inside and be safe. She said the hurricane was a big wind that could break things and make a lot of noise.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to play outside with Spot. They did not like the hurricane. They thought it would spoil their fun.
+
+They tried to play with their toys, but they were bored. They looked out the window and saw the sky getting dark and the trees swaying. They heard the wind howling and the rain pounding.
+
+"Mom, can we go outside now?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, it's too dangerous. The hurricane is still here. We have to wait until it's over," mom said.
+
+"But we don't like the hurricane. It's mean and scary. It's ruining our day," Lily said.
+
+"I know, honey, but sometimes we have to deal with things we don't like. The hurricane will go away soon, and then we can play outside again. Why don't we play a game or read a book instead?" mom suggested.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They decided to play a game of hide and seek with Spot. They took turns hiding and finding each other and the dog. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the hurricane for a while.
+
+They realized that the hurricane could not spoil their fun if they had each other and Spot. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it.
+
+"Can I swing first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it is my turn," Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She climbs on the swing. Ben pushes her. She goes up and down. She feels happy. She laughs.
+
+"Look, I am flying!" she says.
+
+Ben smiles. He likes to see Anna cheerful. He waits for his turn.
+
+Then he sees something shiny on the ground. He bends down. He picks it up. It is a coin.
+
+"Wow, a coin!" he says. "I can buy candy with this!"
+
+He runs to Anna. He shows her the coin.
+
+"Look what I found!" he says.
+
+Anna stops swinging. She looks at the coin. She is surprised.
+
+"That is lucky!" she says. "Can I see it?"
+
+Ben gives her the coin. She holds it in her hand. She feels curious.
+
+"Where did it come from?" she asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone dropped it. Or maybe it is a magic coin," Ben says.
+
+"A magic coin?" Anna says. "What can it do?"
+
+Ben thinks. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe it can make wishes come true. Do you want to try?" he says.
+
+Anna nods. She likes to try new things.
+
+"OK, let's make a wish. But we have to share it. And we have to say it at the same time," Ben says.
+
+Anna agrees. She thinks of a good wish. She whispers it to Ben. He whispers it back. They close their eyes. They hold the coin. They say their wish out loud.
+
+"We wish for more swings!" they say.
+
+They open their eyes. They look around. They see something amazing. There are more swings in the park. Big swings, small swings, colorful swings, wooden swings. There are enough swings for everyone.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed. They are happy. They laugh.
+
+"It worked! It worked! The coin is magic!" they say.
+
+They run to the swings. They choose their favorite ones. They swing on them. They feel free. They feel joyful.
+
+They thank the coin. They put it in their pocket. They decide to keep it as a secret. They think of more wishes they can make. They have fun. They are friends. They are cheerful.
+Lily and Ben like to play with bricks. They build houses and towers and bridges with them. They have many colors of bricks: red, blue, yellow, green and more.
+
+One day, they are playing in the yard with their bricks. They make a big tower with all the colors. They are very happy and proud of their tower.
+
+But then, a big dog comes running. The dog is black and brown and has a loud bark. The dog sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the tower and knocks it down with his paw. The bricks fall and scatter everywhere. Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They cry and run to their mom.
+
+Mom sees what happened and hugs them. She tells them not to worry. She says the dog is not mean, he just wants to play. She says they can rescue their bricks and build again. She gives them a sour candy to make them feel better.
+
+Lily and Ben stop crying and smile. They like sour candy. They say thank you to mom. They go back to the yard and look for their bricks. They find them under the grass and the flowers. They rescue their bricks and put them in a basket. They decide to build a house for the dog instead of a tower. They think the dog will like it and be their friend. They are happy and proud again.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. They climbed the tree very carefully.
+
+When they reached the top, they saw a nest with three eggs. The eggs were blue and shiny. Tom and Lily were very happy. They wanted to touch the eggs.
+
+But then they heard a loud scream. It was the mother bird. She was angry and scared. She wanted to protect her eggs. She flew towards Tom and Lily with her sharp beak.
+
+"Go away! Go away!" she screamed. "These are my eggs! You are bad!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared too. They did not want to hurt the eggs or the bird. They said sorry to the bird.
+
+"Sorry, sorry!" they said. "We did not know. We just wanted to see. We will go now."
+
+They climbed down the tree very quickly. They ran to their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to respect the birds and their nests. They learned to be careful and kind. They still liked the birds, but they watched them from far away.
+Lily and Ben like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They call them minerals. They keep their minerals in a big box in their room.
+
+One day, they want to show their minerals to their friend Sam. They take their box outside and walk to Sam's house. But on the way, they see a big dog. The dog barks at them and runs towards them. Lily and Ben are scared. They drop their box and run away.
+
+The dog sniffs the box and finds the minerals. He thinks they are toys. He takes some minerals in his mouth and runs away. He leaves the box and the other minerals on the road.
+
+Lily and Ben come back with Sam. They see their box on the road, but some minerals are missing. They are sad.
+
+"Where are our minerals?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe the dog took them," Sam says.
+
+"Why did he do that?" Ben asks.
+
+"Maybe he liked them," Sam says.
+
+"But they are ours," Lily says.
+
+"I know," Sam says. "But don't worry. We can find more minerals. There are many rocks in the park. We can go there and look for them."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are still sad, but they like Sam's idea. They pick up their box and go to the park with Sam. They hope to find new minerals and not lose them again. They also hope the dog is happy with his minerals and not cold.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lila found a big worm and showed it to Ben. Ben was scared of the worm and ran away.
+
+"Come back, Ben! It is just a worm. It cannot hurt you," Lila said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He saw something red and round in the dirt. He thought it was a ball and picked it up. It was not a ball. It was a radish.
+
+"Look, Lila! I found a ball!" Ben said.
+
+Lila came over and saw the radish. She laughed.
+
+"That is not a ball, Ben. That is a radish. It is a food. You can eat it," Lila said.
+
+Ben did not like the radish. He thought it was yucky. He wanted a real ball.
+
+"No, I do not want to eat it. I want a ball. Give me a ball!" Ben said. He demand a ball.
+
+Lila did not have a ball. She only had a worm. She did not want to give Ben her worm. She liked her worm.
+
+"I do not have a ball, Ben. I have a worm. You can have my worm," Lila said.
+
+Ben did not want the worm. He was still scared of the worm. He threw the radish and the worm on the ground. He was angry.
+
+"No, I do not want your worm. I want a ball. A ball, a ball, a ball!" Ben said. He yell and cry.
+
+Lila and Ben heard a voice. It was their mom. She came out of the house. She saw Ben crying and Lila holding the worm.
+
+"What is going on, kids? Why are you crying, Ben?" Mom said.
+
+Ben told Mom that he wanted a ball and Lila gave him a radish and a worm. Mom looked at the radish and the worm. She smiled.
+
+"Ben, that is not a radish. That is a gray ball. It is a special ball. It can change color and shape. See?" Mom said.
+
+Mom picked up the radish and rubbed it. The radish turned gray and round. It looked like a ball.
+
+"Wow, a gray ball!" Ben said. He was happy. He forgot about the worm.
+
+Mom gave Ben the gray ball. He thanked Mom and hugged her. He played with the gray ball.
+
+Lila was happy too. She still had her worm. She put the worm in a jar and gave it a name. She called it Radish. She played with Radish.
+
+Mom watched Lila and Ben play. She was proud of them. She went back to the house and made a salad. She used the other radishes from the garden. She did not tell Lila and Ben. She thought they would not like it.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird is red and blue and yellow. It is very pretty.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Sara says. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird looks at Sara and Tom. It says, "I am a parrot. I come from a far country. It is warm and green there."
+
+Sara and Tom are curious. They ask, "What do you eat in your country?"
+
+The parrot says, "I eat fruits and nuts and seeds. They are yummy and good for me."
+
+Sara and Tom want to be polite. They say, "We have some fruits and nuts and seeds too. Do you want some?"
+
+The parrot nods. It says, "Yes, please. That is very kind of you."
+
+Sara and Tom feed the parrot some grapes and almonds and sunflower seeds. The parrot likes them very much. It says, "Thank you, Sara and Tom. You are very nice and friendly."
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They say, "You are welcome, parrot. We are happy to meet you."
+
+They play with the parrot for a while. They learn some words from its country. They have fun together. They are good friends.
+Lily was a wealthy girl who had many shoes. She liked to wear different shoes every day. She had red shoes, blue shoes, pink shoes, and more. She had shoes with flowers, shoes with stars, shoes with ribbons, and more. She had shoes for every occasion.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She wore her new purple shoes that sparkled in the sun. She saw a boy playing with a ball. He had no shoes on his feet. He had dirty socks that had holes in them. Lily felt sorry for the boy. She wanted to be his friend.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked the boy.
+
+"I'm Tom. I like your shoes. They are pretty," he said.
+
+"Thank you. Do you want to play with me?" she asked.
+
+"Sure. I like to play ball. Do you?" he said.
+
+"Yes, I do. But first, I have something for you," she said. She took off her purple shoes and gave them to Tom. "Here, you can have these. They are new and they sparkle. I have many shoes at home. You can keep these."
+
+Tom was surprised and happy. He put on the purple shoes and smiled. They fit him well. He thanked Lily and hugged her. "You are very kind. I have no shoes. These are my first shoes. They are beautiful. Thank you, Lily."
+
+Lily and Tom played ball together. They had fun. They became friends. Lily did not mind that she had no shoes on. She felt happy that she made Tom happy. She learned that sharing is better than having. She learned that shoes are not the most important thing. She learned that friendship is.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their dad's tools. They knew they were not supposed to touch them, but they were curious and wanted to see how they worked. One day, when their dad was out, they sneaked into the garage and opened the toolbox.
+
+"Look at this!" Tim said, holding a shiny hammer. "It can make things flat and break things apart. Let's try it on that old can."
+
+Sam nodded and followed Tim to the corner, where there was a pile of empty cans. Tim swung the hammer and smashed a can with a loud bang. Sam clapped and cheered.
+
+"That was fun!" Sam said. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, here you go." Tim handed the hammer to Sam. "But be careful, don't hit your fingers or anything else."
+
+Sam took the hammer and looked for another can. He saw one on the shelf, next to a glass jar. He reached for the can, but he was careless and knocked over the jar. The jar fell to the floor and shattered, making a loud noise and a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam cried. "We broke dad's jar! He will be so mad at us!"
+
+Tim ran to Sam and saw the broken jar. He recognized it as the one that their dad had mentioned before. It was a special jar that their dad had made with his grandfather when he was a boy. It had a picture of a fish on it and their dad loved it very much.
+
+"Sam, what did you do?" Tim said. "That was dad's favorite jar! He will be so sad and angry when he sees this!"
+
+Sam felt sorry and scared. He wished he had not touched the hammer or the can. He wished he had listened to Tim and been careful.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim." Sam said. "I didn't mean to break it. What can we do?"
+
+Tim thought for a moment. He knew they could not fix the jar or hide the mess. He knew they had to tell their dad the truth and face the consequences.
+
+"We have to tell dad what happened." Tim said. "Maybe he will forgive us if we say we are sorry and promise not to touch his tools again."
+
+Sam nodded and agreed. They picked up the hammer and put it back in the toolbox. They swept up the glass and put it in a bag. They waited for their dad to come home and hoped he would not be too mad at them. They learned a lesson that day: to respect their dad's tools and to be careful with what they play with.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a brown path in the grass. They want to know where it goes.
+
+"Let's follow the path!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and walk on the path. They see many things on the way. They see flowers, trees, birds and bugs. They say hello to them.
+
+"Hello, flower! Hello, tree! Hello, bird! Hello, bug!" they say.
+
+The path goes up and down, left and right. They have fun following it. They wonder what is at the end of the path.
+
+They walk and walk until they see a big pond. The pond has water, fish, ducks and frogs. They are happy to see the pond.
+
+"Look, a pond!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, a pond!" Lily says.
+
+They sit by the pond and watch the fish, ducks and frogs. They hear them make noises.
+
+"Blub, blub, blub!" the fish say.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!" the frogs say.
+
+Tom and Lily laugh and clap. They like the pond. They think the path is good. They are glad they followed it. They hug and smile. They are good friends.
+One day, Ben and Mia went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs.
+
+"Look, Ben, a shark!" Mia said, pointing to a big gray shape in the water. Ben was scared. He did not like sharks. He thought they were mean and hungry.
+
+"Let's go away, Mia. The shark might bite us," Ben said, holding Mia's hand.
+
+But Mia was not scared. She was curious. She wanted to see the shark better. She pulled Ben closer to the water.
+
+"Don't be afraid, Ben. The shark is not mean. He is humble. He does not want to hurt us. He just wants to swim and play," Mia said.
+
+"How do you know, Mia? How can you tell?" Ben asked.
+
+Mia smiled. She had a secret. She could talk to animals. She learned it from her grandma, who was a fairy.
+
+"I can hear him, Ben. He is talking to me. He says his name is Sam. He says he is lonely and bored. He wants to have friends," Mia said.
+
+Ben was amazed. He wished he could talk to animals too. He looked at the shark. He did not seem so scary anymore. He seemed sad and friendly.
+
+"Hello, Sam. I'm Ben. This is Mia. We want to be your friends," Ben said, waving to the shark.
+
+Sam was happy. He waved back with his fin. He came closer to the shore, but not too close. He did not want to scare Ben and Mia.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mia. You are very kind and brave. I'm glad you are my friends," Sam said, in a low and gentle voice that only Mia could hear.
+
+Mia told Ben what Sam said. Ben smiled. He felt proud and happy. He and Mia played with Sam for a while. They threw a ball for him to catch. They asked him questions about the sea. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Mom and dad watched them from a distance. They did not see or hear Sam. They only saw Ben and Mia playing in the water. They were happy too. They thought Ben and Mia had a big imagination. They did not know they had a humble shark friend.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make pictures of animals and houses and cars. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tom finds a pen on the desk. It is not a crayon. It has ink inside. Tom wants to try it. He opens the pen and sees the ink. It is black and shiny. He thinks it is cool.
+
+He says to Jen, "Look, Jen, I have a pen. It has ink. I can make more pictures with it."
+
+Jen says, "Tom, that is not a toy. That is Mom's pen. She needs it for work. You should not use it. It can make a mess."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He is playful. He wants to see what the ink can do. He draws on the paper. He draws on the desk. He draws on the wall. He draws on his shirt. He makes a lot of ink marks.
+
+Jen says, "Tom, stop! You are making a big mess. Mom will be angry. You should put the pen back."
+
+But Tom does not stop. He is having too much fun. He runs around the room. He draws on everything. He laughs.
+
+Jen says, "Tom, come here. I have something for you."
+
+Tom says, "What is it, Jen?"
+
+Jen says, "It is a surprise. Come and see."
+
+Tom is curious. He goes to Jen. Jen has a big bag. She says, "Close your eyes and put your hand in the bag."
+
+Tom closes his eyes and puts his hand in the bag. He feels something soft and fuzzy. He pulls it out. It is a sweater. It is Mom's sweater. It has a zip.
+
+Jen says, "Open your eyes, Tom. Look what you have."
+
+Tom opens his eyes and sees the sweater. He sees the zip. He likes the zip. He says, "Wow, Jen, this is a nice sweater. It has a zip. I can zip it up and down. Zip, zip, zip."
+
+Jen says, "Yes, Tom, it is a nice sweater. It is Mom's sweater. And you know what else? It has ink. Look."
+
+Tom looks at the sweater. He sees the ink. The ink is on the sweater. The ink is from the pen. The pen is in Tom's hand. The pen is open. The ink is everywhere.
+
+Tom says, "Oh, no, Jen, what have I done? I have ruined Mom's sweater. I have ruined everything. Mom will be so mad. What can I do?"
+
+Jen says, "You can say sorry, Tom. You can help me clean up. You can put the pen back. You can be more careful next time. You can learn from your mistake."
+
+Tom says, "You are right, Jen. I am sorry. I will help you clean up. I will put the pen back. I will be more careful next time. I will learn from my mistake. Thank you, Jen, for being my friend."
+
+Jen says, "You are welcome, Tom. I am your friend. I will help you. But next time, please listen to me. And please, no more ink."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some salt and pepper.
+
+"Let's make soup!" said Lily. "We need water and carrots and potatoes and noodles."
+
+"OK!" said Tom. "I will get the water and the noodles. You get the carrots and the potatoes."
+
+They filled the pot with water and put it on the stove. They turned on the fire, but not too high. They chopped the carrots and the potatoes and added them to the pot. They also put some noodles in the pot.
+
+"Now we need some salt and pepper," said Lily. "Can you reach the pepper, Tom?"
+
+Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the pepper. But he was not careful and he knocked over the pepper. The pepper fell on the floor and the lid came off. The pepper spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" said Tom. "Look at the mess!"
+
+Lily and Tom sneezed and coughed. The pepper made their noses and mouths hurt. They ran out of the kitchen.
+
+"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. "Help us!"
+
+Mommy and Daddy came to the kitchen. They saw the pot, the spoons, the salt, and the pepper. They saw the fire, the water, the carrots, the potatoes, and the noodles. They smelled the soup.
+
+"What have you done?" they asked.
+
+"We were making soup," said Lily and Tom. "But the pepper escaped and made us sneeze."
+
+Mommy and Daddy laughed. They turned off the fire and cleaned up the pepper. They hugged Lily and Tom.
+
+"It's OK," they said. "You were trying to be creative and have fun. But next time, please ask us before you use the stove and the pepper. They can be dangerous."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said they were sorry. They tasted the soup. It was lovely. They shared it with Mommy and Daddy. They all enjoyed the soup and the pepper.
+Lily and her mom went to the grocery store. Lily liked to see all the different things in the store. She saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and many more. She also saw some things she did not know.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing to a large jar of pickles.
+
+"That is a pickle, Lily. It is a cucumber that has been in vinegar and salt. Some people like to eat it as a snack or with a sandwich," mom explained.
+
+Lily made a face. She did not think she would like pickles. She liked cucumbers, but not with vinegar and salt.
+
+"Can I try one?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. We can buy a small jar and you can try one at home. Maybe you will like it, maybe you won't. But it is good to try new things sometimes," mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious about the pickles. She hoped they would not be too sour or salty. She and her mom put the small jar of pickles in their cart and continued to shop. Lily saw many more things she wanted to ask mom about. She liked to learn new things from mom. Mom liked to explain things to Lily. They had fun at the grocery store.
+Lily had a new flute. She liked to play it and make music. She wanted to show it to her friend Ben.
+
+She went to his house and knocked on the door. Ben opened it and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Lily! What do you have?" he asked.
+
+"I have a flute. Look!" Lily said. She held up her flute and blew into it. It made a high sound.
+
+"Wow, that's cool! Can I try?" Ben said.
+
+"Sure, here you go." Lily gave him her flute.
+
+Ben took the flute and tried to blow into it. But he could not make any sound. He frowned and looked at the flute.
+
+"It doesn't work. Why not?" he said.
+
+Lily shrugged. "Maybe it doesn't fit you. Maybe your mouth is too big or too small. Or maybe you need to blow harder or softer."
+
+Ben tried again. He blew harder and softer. He moved his mouth around. But nothing happened. He gave up and handed the flute back to Lily.
+
+"Here, you play it. It's too hard for me." he said.
+
+Lily took the flute and played it again. It made a nice sound. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben. Maybe you can play something else. Do you have a drum or a guitar?"
+
+Ben nodded. "I have a drum. It's in my room. Come on, let's go play it."
+
+They ran to Ben's room and found his drum. It was big and heavy. Ben picked it up and carried it to the floor. He put it down and tapped it with his hands. It made a loud sound.
+
+"Boom, boom, boom!" he said. "This is fun. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the sound of the drum. She sat next to Ben and tapped the drum with her hands. They made music together.
+
+"Boom, boom, boom!" they said. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the flute and the drum. They were happy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill of dirt with many ants on it. They wanted to watch the ants and see what they did.
+
+"Look, Ben, the ants are carrying things!" Sam said, pointing at the ants.
+
+"Yes, they are. They are very busy. Maybe they are making a plan," Ben said, wondering what the ants were doing.
+
+They got closer to the hill and saw that some of the ants were carrying dead bugs. They were taking them to a hole in the hill.
+
+"Why are they doing that?" Sam asked, feeling curious.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are saving them for later. Or maybe they are giving them to their queen," Ben guessed, trying to sound smart.
+
+They decided to dig a little hole next to the ants' hole and see what was inside. They used their hands and a stick to make the hole. They were careful not to hurt the ants.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben exclaimed, as he saw a big chamber with many ants and dead bugs inside.
+
+"It's like a treasure room!" Sam agreed, as he saw the shiny wings and legs of the bugs.
+
+They wanted to touch the bugs and see how they felt. But before they could, they heard a loud noise.
+
+"Ben! Sam! Time for lunch!" their mom called from the house.
+
+They quickly got up and ran to the house, leaving the hole and the ants behind.
+
+"Mom, we saw something amazing!" Ben said, as he told her about the ants and their plan.
+
+"Really? That sounds very interesting. But you should be careful not to disturb the ants. They might bite you," their mom said, as she gave them sandwiches and juice.
+
+"OK, mom. We won't. Can we go back and see them later?" Sam asked, as he ate his sandwich.
+
+"Maybe. But only if you wash your hands first. And don't forget to fill the hole. You don't want to make the ants angry," their mom said, as she smiled at them.
+
+Ben and Sam nodded and finished their lunch. They wanted to see the ants again and learn more about their plan. They thought the ants were very clever and cool.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside after the rain. They see many puddles on the grass. They want to jump in them and make splashes.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big puddle!" Ben says. He runs to the puddle and jumps in. He laughs and gets wet.
+
+"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily says. She runs after him and jumps in too. She giggles and gets wet.
+
+They jump and splash and have fun. But then they see Mom coming. She looks angry.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You are all dirty and wet. You need to come inside and get clean. Now!"
+
+"But Mom, we are having fun!" Ben says.
+
+"Yeah, Mom, we like puddles!" Lily says.
+
+"No, you don't. Puddles are dirty and cold. You will get sick. Come on, hold my hand and let's go inside." Mom says.
+
+She holds Ben's hand and Lily's hand and takes them inside. They do not want to go. They want to stay and play. They are sad and mad.
+
+They go inside and Mom gives them towels and dry clothes. She tells them to take a bath and get clean. They do not want to take a bath. They want to go back outside. They are still sad and mad.
+
+They take a bath and get clean. They put on their dry clothes. They feel warm and cozy. They are not sad and mad anymore.
+
+They hug Mom and say sorry. Mom hugs them and says it's okay. She loves them. They love her.
+
+They go to the window and look outside. They see the puddles. They smile and wink at each other. They still like puddles. Maybe they can play in them again tomorrow.
+Tim and Liz are friends who like to dig in the dirt. They have a big bucket and some tools. They want to find shiny rocks and fossils. They think they are like treasure hunters.
+
+One day, they dig near a big tree. They see something sparkling in the dirt. They dig faster and pull out a rock. It is not like any rock they have seen before. It has many colors and shapes. It is very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "It is a mineral. It is a special kind of rock that has crystals inside. I learned that from a book."
+
+Liz nods. She likes books too. She looks at the mineral and sees a pattern. It looks like a star. She points to it and says, "Look, it has a star. It is a unique mineral. It is one of a kind. We are so lucky to find it."
+
+Tim nods too. He agrees with Liz. He thinks the mineral is amazing. He says, "Let's keep it. We can share it. We can put it in our bucket and show it to our parents. Maybe they will know more about it."
+
+Liz smiles and says, "Yes, let's do that. It is our treasure. We are the best treasure hunters ever."
+
+They put the mineral in their bucket and hug each other. They are very happy. They continue to dig in the dirt, hoping to find more minerals and fossils. They have a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a rope in the garden. They wanted to make a swing on the big tree. Lily knew how to make a knot, but Ben did not.
+
+"Let me show you how to make a knot, Ben. It is easy and fun," Lily said.
+
+She took one end of the rope and wrapped it around the other end. Then she pulled it through the loop and tightened it.
+
+"See? This is a knot. It is strong and will not come undone," she said.
+
+Ben tried to copy her, but he got confused. He twisted and tangled the rope until it was a mess.
+
+"I can't do it, Lily. It is too hard," he said.
+
+Lily looked at his rope and frowned.
+
+"That is not a knot, Ben. That is a mess. You did it all wrong," she said.
+
+She was rude and made Ben feel bad.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like how Lily talked to him.
+
+He snatched the rope from her and threw it on the ground.
+
+"I don't want to play with you anymore, Lily. You are mean and bossy," he said.
+
+He ran away to the house.
+
+Lily was surprised and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben's feelings.
+
+She picked up the rope and followed him.
+
+"Wait, Ben. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to help you," she said.
+
+She caught up with him at the door.
+
+"Please, Ben. Let's be friends again. I recommend we try to make the swing together. I can teach you how to make a knot, and you can teach me something else. What do you say?" she said.
+
+Ben looked at her and saw that she was sincere.
+
+He smiled and nodded.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I overreacted. Let's be friends again. I recommend we go back to the garden and have fun. I can teach you how to make a paper plane. What do you say?" he said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded.
+
+"Okay, Ben. That sounds great. Let's go," she said.
+
+They hugged and went back to the garden.
+
+They made the swing and the paper plane.
+
+They had fun and learned from each other.
+
+They were happy and good friends.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is not nice. It barks and runs at them. Tom and Sam are scared. They run away.
+
+But Sam is not fast. The dog catches him. It bites his leg. Sam falls down. He cries. He is hurt and helpless. Tom hears him. He wants to help his friend.
+
+Tom is brave. He picks up a stick. He walks back to the dog. He hits the dog with the stick. The dog is angry. It lets go of Sam's leg. It tries to bite Tom. But Tom hits it again. The dog runs away.
+
+Tom helps Sam get up. He holds his hand. He walks with him to the nurse. The nurse puts a bandage on Sam's leg. She says Tom is a good friend. She gives them both a candy.
+
+Tom and Sam hug. They are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be brave and help each other. They learned to walk away from bad dogs. They learned to hold hands and stick together.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park when it is cold. They wear thick coats and mittens to keep warm. They run and slide on the snow. They laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big swing in the park. It has two seats and a long rope. Lila and Ben want to try it. They run to the swing and sit on the seats. They hold the rope with their mittens.
+
+"Are you ready?" Lila asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Ben says.
+
+They push with their feet and the swing goes up and down. They feel the wind on their faces and the snow on their hair. They swing higher and higher. They shout and giggle.
+
+They swing for a long time. They are happy. They forget about the cold. They only feel the joy of swinging.
+Sam was sick. He had a big cough and a hot head. He did not want to eat or play. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Sam and gave him some medicine.
+
+"Sam, you need to take this medicine every day. It will help you feel better," the doctor said.
+
+Sam did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. He made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Sam, please try to swallow the medicine. It is good for you," his mom said.
+
+Sam shook his head. He did not want to try. He threw the medicine on the floor.
+
+The doctor and his mom were sad. They tried to make Sam take the medicine, but he did not listen. He cried and kicked and screamed.
+
+They took Sam to the nurse. The nurse was brilliant. She had a big smile and a funny hat. She had a syringe with a needle.
+
+"Sam, this is the nurse. She will give you a shot. It will make you feel better faster," the doctor said.
+
+Sam did not like the shot. He was scared of the needle. He tried to run away, but the nurse was faster. She held him tight and poked him with the needle.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sam yelled. He felt a sharp pain in his arm. He felt dizzy and sick. He fainted.
+
+The nurse checked his pulse and his temperature. She shook her head.
+
+"I'm sorry, doctor. The medicine was too strong for him. He had an allergic reaction. He is gone," she said.
+
+The doctor and his mom were shocked. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had made Sam take the medicine. They wished they had not given him the shot. They wished he was still alive.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign near the park. The sign has a picture of a house and some words.
+
+"What does the sign say?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+Ben looks at the sign. He knows some words, but not all. He tries to read the sign.
+
+"It says... For... Sale... Wide... House... Call... This... Number..." Ben says slowly.
+
+"What does that mean?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him once.
+
+"It means that someone wants to sell their house. The house is wide, like big. And if you want to buy the house, you have to call the number on the sign," Ben explains.
+
+Lily nods. She thinks the house looks nice. She wonders what it is like inside.
+
+"Can we go and see the house?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He knows they are not allowed to go inside other people's houses.
+
+"No, we can't. The house is not ours. We have to ask our moms and dads first," Ben says.
+
+Lily feels sad. She wants to see the house. She likes wide houses. She has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can make our own house!" Lily says.
+
+Ben smiles. He likes Lily's idea. He looks around the park. He sees some boxes, some sticks, some leaves, and some flowers.
+
+"Let's do it!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the boxes and start to build their own house. They use the sticks and the leaves for the roof. They use the flowers for decoration. They make a door and a window. They are very happy with their house.
+
+They go inside their house and pretend to live there. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the sign and the wide house. They have their own house. And they have each other.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They play together in the garden.
+
+One day, a big hairy dog comes to the garden. He sees the toys and wants to play too. He runs to Anna and Ben and grabs the doll with his mouth. Anna is sad and cries.
+
+"Give me back my doll!" she says to the dog.
+
+The dog does not listen. He runs away with the doll. Ben chases him, but he is too fast. Ben is angry and shouts.
+
+"Bad dog! Leave our toys alone!"
+
+The dog does not care. He thinks the doll is fun. He shakes it and bites it. The doll is broken.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad. They do not have any toys to play with. They sit on the grass and look at the dog.
+
+Then, Ben has an idea. He whispers to Anna.
+
+"I have an idea. Let's share something with the dog. Maybe he will be nice to us."
+
+Anna nods. She likes the idea. She looks around and sees a stick. She picks it up and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, a stick. Dogs like sticks. Let's share this stick with the dog."
+
+Ben agrees. He smiles and waves the stick. He calls the dog.
+
+"Hey, dog! Do you want to play with this stick? It is better than the doll. Come here, we will share it with you."
+
+The dog hears Ben. He drops the doll and looks at the stick. He likes the stick. He runs to Ben and Anna and wags his tail. He barks happily.
+
+"Good dog!" Ben says. He throws the stick and the dog runs after it. He brings it back and gives it to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, dog!" Anna says. She pets the dog and he licks her face.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They share the stick with the dog and play together. The dog is happy too. He has new friends and a new toy. He forgets about the doll.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and run around the house. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a lot of noise and mess. Mom and Dad get angry and tell them to stop.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go to the store. They ask Grandma to watch Lily and Max. Grandma is very nice and kind. She says, "You can play, but you have to behave. If you are good, I will give you a surprise."
+
+Lily and Max want the surprise. They nod and smile. They play quietly with their toys and help Grandma clean up. They do not fight or cry. Grandma is happy and proud.
+
+When Mom and Dad come back, Grandma tells them how well Lily and Max behaved. She gives them the surprise. It is a big box with a ribbon. Lily and Max open it. Inside, there is a new toy. It is a train set. It has tracks and cars and a station. It makes sounds and lights. It is in motion.
+
+Lily and Max are very happy. They hug Grandma and thank her. They say, "We love you, Grandma. You are the best." They play with the train set and share it. Mom and Dad are happy too. They say, "You are good children. We are proud of you." They hug Lily and Max and Grandma. They are a happy family.
+Ben and Mia love to play with their toy trains. They have many engines of different colors and sizes. They like to make tracks and bridges and tunnels for their engines to go through. Sometimes they share their engines with each other, and sometimes they want to keep them for themselves.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia were playing with their engines in the living room. Ben had a big red engine that he liked very much. He did not want to let Mia play with it. Mia had a small blue engine that she liked very much. She did not want to let Ben play with it. They both wanted to have the other's engine, but they did not want to give up their own. They started to argue and pull and tug at the engines.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the engines and said, "Ben and Mia, why are you being so selfish? You have so many engines to play with, and you are not being nice to each other. You should share your engines and be thankful for what you have. How would you feel if someone took your engine away from you?"
+
+Ben and Mia felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they were being mean and greedy. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They decided to share their engines and play together. They gave each other their engines and said thank you. They had more fun playing with both engines than with one. They learned to be grateful and generous.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm proud of you, Ben and Mia. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Sharing is caring, and thankfulness is happiness. Now you can enjoy your engines and your friendship more." Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They were happy and peaceful. They were no longer restless.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw an old rocket in the field. It was big and red and had a door on the side.
+
+"Let's enter the rocket and pretend we are astronauts!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Sam said.
+
+They ran to the rocket and opened the door. Inside, there were many buttons and lights and wires. Tom and Sam sat on the seats and put on the helmets.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ready!" Sam said.
+
+Tom pushed a big green button. The rocket made a loud noise and started to shake. Tom and Sam were scared.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Sam shouted.
+
+"I don't know how to stop!" Tom cried.
+
+The rocket flew out of the field and into the sky. It went higher and higher and faster and faster. Tom and Sam screamed and cried. They did not know where they were going or how to get back. They wished they had never entered the old rocket.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big building where their mom works. They like to ride the elevator up and down. The elevator has buttons with numbers and pictures. Lily likes to press the buttons. Ben likes to watch the doors open and close.
+
+One day, they go to the big building with their mom. Mom says she has to do some work and they can play in the lobby. Lily and Ben run to the elevator. Lily presses the button with a star. The elevator goes up very fast. Ben feels scared. He holds Lily's hand.
+
+The elevator stops at the top floor. The doors open. Lily and Ben see a lot of people and desks and computers. They also see a big window with a nice view. Lily wants to go and see the window. Ben wants to go back to the lobby. He says, "Lily, let's go. I don't like it here. It's too high."
+
+Lily says, "No, Ben. I want to see the window. It's pretty. Don't be scared. I will support you. Come with me."
+
+Ben says, "No, Lily. I want to go. Please. The elevator might go away. Then we will be stuck here."
+
+Lily and Ben start to argue. They pull each other's hands. They don't see that the elevator doors are closing. They don't hear that the elevator is going down. They are too busy fighting.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud ding. The elevator stops. The doors open. They see their mom. She looks worried. She says, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? I was looking for you. Why did you go to the top floor?"
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They hug their mom. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to play. But we had a fight. We didn't mean to go to the top floor."
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful. The elevator is not a toy. And you have to listen to each other. Sometimes you have to support your brother or sister, even if you don't agree. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, mom. We love you. We love each other. We will support each other."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you too. Now let's go home. I'm done with my work. Are you happy?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, mom. We're happy." They hold their mom's hand. They go to the elevator. They press the button with a heart. The elevator goes down. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish, crabs, and shells.
+
+One day, they saw something new. It was round and clear, with long thin parts. It looked like a balloon with strings. Lila and Ben were curious. They wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, what is that?" they asked, pointing at the thing.
+
+"That is a jellyfish," mom said. "It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. It is not a toy. It can hurt you if you touch it."
+
+"Why can it hurt me?" Lila asked.
+
+"Because it has stingers on its thin parts. They can make you feel pain and itch. You have to be careful and stay away from them," dad said.
+
+"Oh, I see," Lila said. She was a little sad. She thought the jellyfish was adorable. She liked how it moved and shone in the sun.
+
+"Can I look at it from far away?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, you can," mom said. "But don't go too close. And don't touch it."
+
+"OK," Ben said. He watched the jellyfish with his eyes. He thought it was interesting. He wondered how it ate and breathed.
+
+Lila and Ben learned something new that day. They learned that some animals are not good to touch, even if they look adorable. They learned to listen to their mom and dad, who knew more about the sea. They learned to respect the jellyfish, who had their own way of living. They also had fun at the beach, playing with other things that were safe and fun.
+
+They would recommend the beach to their friends, but they would also tell them to be careful of the jellyfish.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it high, sometimes they bounced it low. They had fun with the ball.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a cooler over there!" Ben said, pointing to a big box with a handle. "Maybe there is something yummy inside. Let's go and see."
+
+They ran to the cooler and opened it. Inside, they saw some brown bottles and some brown cans. They did not know what they were. They looked shiny and cold.
+
+"Can we have one?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they belong to someone else. Maybe they are not good for us." Ben said.
+
+But Lily was curious. She took a brown bottle and tried to open it. She twisted the cap, but it did not come off. She pulled it, but it did not come off. She shook it, but it did not come off.
+
+"Let me try." Ben said. He took the bottle from Lily and did the same things. He twisted, he pulled, he shook. But the cap did not come off.
+
+Suddenly, the bottle made a loud noise. Pssst! The cap flew off and the brown liquid sprayed out. It went all over Ben and Lily and the cooler and the grass. It was sticky and fizzy and wet.
+
+"Ah!" Ben and Lily screamed. They dropped the bottle and ran away. They were scared and messy.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my soda?" A man shouted. He came out of a nearby tent and saw the mess. He was angry and surprised. He picked up the bottle and the cap and put them back in the cooler. He closed the cooler and carried it to his tent.
+
+Ben and Lily ran back to their ball. They did not want to touch the cooler or the brown bottles or cans again. They bounced the ball to each other and tried to forget what happened. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should not open things that they do not know. They should stick to their ball. They had fun with the ball.
+Sara and Tom went to the museum with Mom and Dad. They saw many things in the museum. They saw big animals and small animals. They saw old things and new things. They saw paintings and statues.
+
+Sara liked the small animals best. She saw a small bird with many colors. She saw a small fish with a long tail. She saw a small bug with spots. She wanted to touch them, but Mom said no.
+
+Tom liked the old things best. He saw an old car with big wheels. He saw an old clock with a loud sound. He saw an old coin with a strange face. He wanted to take them, but Dad said no.
+
+Sara and Tom saw a room with a sign. The sign said "Change". They were curious. They went inside the room. They saw many things that could change. They saw a toy that could change shape. They saw a flower that could change color. They saw a dress that could change size.
+
+Sara and Tom had fun in the room. They played with the things that could change. They changed the toy from a ball to a star. They changed the flower from red to blue. They changed the dress from big to small.
+
+Mom and Dad came to the room. They saw Sara and Tom playing. They smiled. They said it was time to go home. Sara and Tom said goodbye to the things that could change. They said they liked the museum. They said they learned a lot. They said they wanted to come back.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. But today, Tim is sick. He has to stay in bed. He feels hot and sad.
+
+Lily misses Tim. She wants to play with him. She calls him on the phone.
+
+"Hi, Tim. How are you?" Lily asks.
+
+"Hi, Lily. I am not good. I am hot and I cough. I can't play today." Tim says.
+
+"I am sorry, Tim. I miss you. Do you want me to tell you a story?" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, please. I like your stories." Tim says.
+
+"Okay. Listen. Once, there was a tough lion. He was the king of the jungle. He was strong and brave. But he was lonely. He had no friends. He roared and scared everyone away. One day, he met a little mouse. The mouse was not scared of him. The mouse said, 'Hi, lion. Do you want to be my friend?' The lion was surprised. He said, 'You are very small. How can you be my friend?' The mouse said, 'I can be your friend. I can make you laugh. I can help you when you are in trouble. I can keep you company.' The lion thought for a while. He said, 'Okay. You can be my friend. But you have to be careful. I am very big. I might hurt you by mistake.' The mouse said, 'Don't worry. I am very fast. I can dodge you.' The lion and the mouse became friends. They played and talked and had fun. The lion was not lonely anymore. He was happy." Lily says.
+
+"That is a nice story, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend. I hope I get better soon. Then we can play in the park again." Tim says.
+
+"You are welcome, Tim. You are a good friend too. I hope you get better soon. I will call you tomorrow. Bye." Lily says.
+
+"Bye, Lily." Tim says.
+
+They hang up the phone. They smile. They miss each other. But they know they will see each other soon. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, run, and swing. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing.
+
+One day, they see a big tree near the swings. The tree has a hole in it. Anna and Ben are curious. They go to the hole and look inside.
+
+They find a soft paper in the hole. It has words on it. Anna and Ben can read some words, but not all. They try to read the paper. It is a message.
+
+The message says: "Hello, I am a squirrel. I live in this tree. I like to collect nuts and hide them in the hole. Do you like nuts? Do you want to be my friends? Please write back and put the paper in the hole. Your friend, Squirrel."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They want to be friends with the squirrel. They find a pen and write back. They write: "Hello, Squirrel. We are Anna and Ben. We like to play in the park. We like nuts too. We want to be your friends. Thank you for the message. Your friends, Anna and Ben."
+
+They fold the paper and put it in the hole. They hope the squirrel will read it and write back. They go back to the swings and wait for the next message. They are excited and smile.
+Tom hurt his arm when he fell from the swing. He cried a lot and his mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was nice and gave him a sticker, but he said he needed to take a picture of his arm. He called it an x-ray.
+
+"What is an x-ray?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a special machine that can see your bones," the doctor said. "It will help me know if your arm is broken or not."
+
+Tom was scared of the machine. It looked big and strange. He did not want to go inside it. He held his mom's hand and said no.
+
+"Please, Tom, it will not hurt," his mom said. "It will be very quick and then we can go home."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He kicked and screamed and ran away from the doctor and the machine. He hid under a table and did not come out.
+
+The doctor and his mom tried to find him and calm him down, but they could not. They wasted a lot of time and other people who needed x-rays had to wait. Tom was very naughty and made everyone angry and sad.
+
+Finally, they found him and dragged him to the machine. But it was too late. The machine was broken. Someone had spilled juice on it and it did not work anymore. The doctor said they had to go to another hospital to get an x-ray. But the other hospital was far away and there was a lot of traffic. Tom's arm hurt more and more and he felt very sick.
+
+He wished he had been a good boy and listened to his mom and the doctor. He wished he had done the regular x-ray and gone home. He learned a hard lesson that day. Sometimes, you need to do things you do not like to be safe and healthy.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new people. One day, she wandered away from her home and found a big house. She knocked on the door and a friendly lady opened it.
+
+"Hello, little girl. What are you doing here?" the lady asked.
+
+"I was wandering and I saw your house. It is very pretty," Sara said.
+
+"Thank you. Do you want to come in and have some cookies?" the lady offered.
+
+Sara nodded and followed the lady inside. The house was warm and cozy. There were many candles on the tables and shelves. They smelled nice and made the house bright.
+
+"Here you go. Enjoy your cookies," the lady said and gave Sara a plate.
+
+Sara ate the cookies and thanked the lady. She liked the lady. She was kind and gentle. She told Sara stories and showed her pictures. Sara felt happy and safe.
+
+But then, Sara remembered her home. She remembered her mom and dad and her dog. She wondered if they were looking for her and if they were worried. She felt sad and scared.
+
+"Lady, I have to go home. My mom and dad and my dog are waiting for me," Sara said.
+
+"Of course, dear. I understand. Let me walk you to the door," the lady said.
+
+The lady took Sara's hand and led her to the door. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "Be careful, little girl. Don't wander too far from your home. Your family loves you and needs you."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. I will not wander too far again. I love my family and they love me."
+
+Sara waved goodbye to the lady and ran back to her home. She saw her mom and dad and her dog waiting for her. They were happy to see her and hugged her and kissed her. They asked her where she had been and she told them about the lady and the candles and the cookies. They were glad that she was safe and that she met a friendly lady. But they also told her that she should not wander away without telling them. They said that they were worried and that they could have lost her. They said that they wanted her to be happy and curious, but also careful and responsible.
+
+Sara said that she was sorry and that she learned her lesson. She said that she loved them and that she would not wander away again. She said that she would always tell them where she was going and when she would be back. She said that she would always listen to them and respect them.
+
+They said that they forgave her and that they were proud of her. They said that they loved her and that they would always be there for her. They said that they were a family and that they would always stick together.
+
+They hugged and kissed again and went inside their home. They lit a candle and ate some cookies. They smiled and laughed and told each other stories. They felt happy and cozy. They were a family.
+Lily liked to color with her crayons. She had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. She made pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. She was happy when she colored.
+
+But one day, her brother Ben took her crayons. He was spoiled and wanted everything for himself. He broke some of the crayons and threw them on the floor. He scribbled on Lily's pictures and made them ugly. He laughed and said, "I don't like your colors. They are boring."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She cried and said, "Give me back my crayons. You are mean and bad. You ruined my pictures. I don't like you."
+
+Mom heard Lily and Ben. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken crayons, the scribbled pictures, and the upset children. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, you are in trouble. You have to say sorry to Lily and fix what you did. You have to share the crayons and be nice. Lily, you can have new crayons and paper. You can make new pictures and show me. You are a good girl."
+
+Ben said sorry to Lily. He helped her pick up the broken crayons and throw them away. He gave her some of his stickers to put on her pictures. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I like your colors. They are pretty. Can I color with you?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you."
+
+Mom hugged them both and said, "I'm proud of you. You fixed your problem. You are good children. I love you."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were happy and quiet, until Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was a bottle of glue that Mom had left there.
+
+Lily was nosy and wanted to see what it was. She walked to the table and picked up the bottle. She opened it and gazed at the sticky stuff inside. She thought it looked like honey. She wondered what it tasted like.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He saw Lily with the bottle and felt curious too. He left his car and joined her at the table.
+
+"I found some honey," Lily said. She put the bottle to her mouth and squeezed it. A big blob of glue came out and stuck to her lips. She made a funny face and tried to spit it out, but it was too late. The glue was all over her mouth and teeth.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said. He laughed at Lily and pointed at her. "You look silly!"
+
+Lily felt angry and embarrassed. She wanted to get the glue off, but she couldn't. She grabbed the bottle and threw it at Ben. But she missed him and hit the vase behind him. The vase fell and broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled on the floor.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the glue and the broken vase. She saw Lily and Ben with scared faces. She was very mad.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You are both in big trouble! Go to your rooms right now!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to their rooms and cried. They wished they had not been so nosy and played with the glue. They had ruined their toys and their fun and their mom's vase. They felt sorry and sad. They had a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Sure, let's go," Ben says. They run to the dog. The dog wags its tail. It looks happy.
+
+"Hello, doggy," Anna says. She strokes the dog's fur. The dog licks her hand.
+
+"Hi, doggy," Ben says. He tries to hug the dog. The dog barks. It does not like hugs. It bites Ben's arm.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cries. He lets go of the dog. He sees blood on his arm. He feels pain.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asks. She is scared.
+
+"No, it hurts," Ben says. He is sad.
+
+The dog's owner comes. He is angry.
+
+"What are you doing with my dog?" he asks. He pulls the dog away.
+
+"We just wanted to pet it," Anna says. She is sorry.
+
+"Well, you shouldn't. My dog doesn't like strangers. He needs salt for his wound," the owner says. He gives Ben a salt packet. He tells him to put it on his arm.
+
+"Salt?" Ben asks. He is confused.
+
+"Yes, salt. It helps to heal," the owner says. He is not very nice.
+
+Ben opens the packet. He sprinkles salt on his arm. He screams. It burns.
+
+"Stop, stop, it hurts more!" Ben says. He is angry.
+
+"Sorry, kid, but that's what you get for bothering my dog," the owner says. He is mean.
+
+He walks away with his dog. He does not care.
+
+Anna and Ben are left alone. They are sad. They regret petting the dog. They wish they had played with something else. They hug each other. They go home. They hope their arm will get better soon. They learn a lesson. They will not pet strange dogs again.
+Lily and Ben love to bake with Mom. They like to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. They use a spoon and a whisk to make the batter smooth and yummy. Mom says they are very patient and good helpers.
+
+Today is a special day. It is a holiday. Mom says they can make cookies for the holiday. They can use cookie cutters to make shapes. Lily likes stars and Ben likes hearts. They roll out the dough and cut out the cookies. They put them on a tray and Mom puts them in the oven.
+

+One day, they found a big scale on the floor. It was shiny and smooth. They wondered where it came from. They decided to use it as a treasure for their fish. They put it in a bowl and placed it in the middle of their play area.
+
+But then, they started to argue. Tom wanted to keep the scale for his fish. He said it was his because he saw it first. Lily wanted to share the scale with her fish. She said it was fair because they both liked it. They pulled and pushed the bowl, trying to get the scale.
+
+The bowl fell and broke. The scale and the water scattered all over the floor. The fish were wet and sad. Tom and Lily were shocked and sorry. They looked at the mess they made. They felt bad for their fish and for each other.

+Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Sam wanted to drink some water, but Lily said no.
+
+"Why not?" Sam asked.
+
+"Because it is not good water. It is dirty and has germs. You will get sick if you drink it," Lily said.
+
+Sam did not believe Lily. He thought she was jealous because he was thirsty and she was not. He ran to the fountain and put his mouth on the water. He drank a lot of water and felt happy.
+
+Lily watched Sam and shook her head. She knew he was making a mistake. She tried to warn him, but he did not listen.
+
+Soon, Sam started to feel bad. His tummy hurt and he felt hot. He also had an itch on his face and his arms. He scratched and scratched, but the itch did not go away. He looked at Lily and saw that she was fine. He wished he had listened to her.

+
+Sam cried and cried. He wanted to go home and see his mom. He learned his lesson. He would never drink bad water again. He hoped Lily would still be his friend.

+
+Lily reached for the jar. She opened it. She took out a mint. She put it in her mouth. It was sweet and cold. Lily smiled. She liked the mint. She wanted another one. She took out another mint. And another. And another. She did not hear mom calling her name. She did not hear mom coming to the room. She ignored mom. She only cared about the mints.
+
+Mom saw Lily with the jar. She saw the mints in her mouth. She was angry. She took the jar from Lily. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You know you are not supposed to have mints. They are bad for your teeth. And you ignored me when I called you. That is very naughty. You are in big trouble, young lady."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She felt sick. She had too many mints. Her mouth was not fresh. It was bitter. Her teeth hurt. She wished she had listened to mom. She wished she had not ignored mom. She wished she had not taken the mints. She learned her lesson. Mints were not cute. They were mean.

+They take the shell to their sandcastle. They put it on the top. They wait for it to open.
+
+But nothing happens. The shell is very quiet.
+
+"Maybe it is sleeping," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe we can wake it up," Sue says.
+
+They tap the shell with a stick. They blow on it. They sing to it.
+
+But nothing happens. The shell is still quiet.
+
+"Maybe it is not a shell," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe it is a rock," Sue says.
+
+They are sad. They want to see what is inside.
+
+Then, they hear a noise. It is a loud snore.
+
+They look at the shell. It has eyes and a mouth. It is not a shell. It is a turtle.
+
+The turtle is waking up. It stretches its legs and head. It sees Tom and Sue.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the turtle says.

+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. "The dog is bad!"
+
+A guard hears them. He is in the park too. He has a whistle and a stick. He blows the whistle and waves the stick. He tells the dog to stop.
+
+"Go away, dog!" he says. "You are not nice. You cannot play here."
+
+The dog hears the guard. It stops running and barking. It looks at the guard. It is afraid. It turns around and runs away.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They thank the guard. He smiles and nods. He tells them to be careful.
+
+"You are welcome, kids," he says. "You can play here. But watch out for dogs. They are not always friendly."

+"What is a flag?" Sam asks.
+
+"A flag is a cloth that shows something. Like where you are from, or what you like," Lily explains.
+
+Sam nods. He points to the flag. "What does this flag show?"
+
+Lily shrugs. She does not know. She sees a man sitting on a bench. He has a book with the same flag on the cover.
+
+"Let's ask him," she says. She and Sam run to the man.
+
+"Hello, sir. Can you tell us what this flag is?" Lily asks.
+
+The man smiles. He puts down his book. He looks at the flag.
+
+"This flag is the rainbow flag. It shows that people can be different and still be happy and loved," he says.
+
+"Different how?" Sam wonders.
+
+"Different in many ways. Like how they look, or how they feel, or who they love," the man says.
+
+Lily and Sam think about that. They look at each other. They have different hair, different eyes, different clothes. But they are still friends. They love each other.
+
+They understand.
+
+"Thank you, sir. We like the flag. It is pretty and nice," Lily says.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like it. It is a flag of hope and peace," the man says.

+Lila nodded. She put her hand on her mom's tummy and felt a little bump. She said, "Hello, Ella. I am Lila. I am your big sister. I am happy you are my present. I love you."
+Lila likes to skip. She skips in the park, she skips in the yard, she skips in the house. She skips with her mom, she skips with her dad, she skips with her dog. She skips when she is happy, she skips when she is sad, she skips when she is bored.

+
+She ran to her room and locked the door. She opened the purse and took out the necklace and the lipstick. She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled.

+
+Lily did not know what it was. She thought it was juice. She was thirsty. She opened the bottle and drank it. It tasted bad. She made a face. She felt sick. She wanted to call her mom. But she could not. She fell on the floor. She did not move. She did not breathe.
+
+Her mom heard a thud. She was worried. She ran to Lily's room. She knocked on the door. She said, "Lily, are you okay? Open the door, please." But Lily did not answer. She did not open the door.

+
+Ben looks for Anna. He does not see her in the barn, or in the pond, or in the tree. He thinks she is in the corn. He goes to the corn. He walks between the rows. He sees something colorful. It is a scarf. It is Anna's scarf. He picks it up.
+
+Anna hears Ben. She peeks from behind the corn plant. She sees Ben holding her scarf. She is scared. She thinks he will find her. She runs to another corn plant. She stands behind it. She hopes he will not see her.

+
+But the fruits are not sweet and juicy. They are sour and bitter. They make Tom and Jen's mouths hurt. They spit out the fruits and cry. They want to go back to the park.
+

+
+They ran so fast that they got dizzy. They fell down on the grass. They felt sick. They closed their eyes and waited for the turkey to go away.
+
+But the turkey did not go away. It came closer and closer. It snapped at them again. Lily and Tom screamed. They opened their eyes and saw the turkey.

+Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw Lily and the reindeer and the mess. They were not happy. They asked Lily what happened. Lily told them the truth. She said she was sorry.
+
+Mommy and Daddy hugged Lily and the reindeer. They said they were not mad. They said they loved her. They said they would fix the ball and the tree. They said they were proud of her for telling the truth. They said she was amazing. Lily smiled and thanked them. She was happy. She learned a lesson. She played with her reindeer in a safe place.
+Anna and Ben like to play with cards. They have many cards with pictures of animals, fruits, and things. They play a game called match. They put all the cards face down and take turns to flip two cards. If the cards have the same picture, they match and they keep them. If the cards have different pictures, they do not match and they put them back. The one who has more matches at the end wins.
+
+One day, they find a new card in their box. It has a picture of a big building with a wheel. They do not know what it is. They ask their mom. She tells them it is a mill. A mill is a place where people make flour from wheat. The wheel helps to grind the wheat. She says mills are very old and not many people use them now. They are expensive to keep and fix.
+
+Anna and Ben think the mill card is very cool. They want to match it with another mill card. But they cannot find one. They look in their box, under the sofa, in the closet, everywhere. They only have one mill card. They are sad. They do not want to play match anymore.
+
+Their mom sees them and has an idea. She takes a piece of paper and a crayon. She draws a mill that looks like the one on the card. She cuts it out and gives it to them. She says they can use it as a match for the mill card. Anna and Ben are happy. They thank their mom and hug her. They play match again and have fun. They think the mill cards are the best.
+Lily liked to imagine. She closed her eyes and made pictures in her head. She saw a land with many animals and flowers. She saw a big river and a green hill. She saw a rainbow and a sun.
+
+She imagined she was in the land. She ran with the animals and smelled the flowers. She splashed in the river and climbed the hill. She touched the rainbow and smiled at the sun. She felt good and happy.
+
+But then she heard a voice. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, it's time to wake up. You have to get ready for school." Lily opened her eyes and saw her room. She was in her bed. She was not in the land.
+
+She was sad. She wanted to stay in the land. She wanted to play with the animals and the flowers. She wanted to see the rainbow and the sun. She said, "Mom, can I go back to the land?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You can go back to the land anytime you want. You just have to imagine. The land is in your head. And it's always good." Lily smiled and said, "OK, mom. I will imagine the land again. But first, I will go to school." She got up and got ready. She was still thinking of the land. She knew she would see it again.
+Tom likes to run. He runs fast on the track. He runs with his friends. They have fun.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the track. The dog is not nice. He barks and chases Tom and his friends. They are scared.
+
+Tom is smart. He sees a hole in the fence. He runs to the hole and goes through. He tells his friends to follow him. They run to the hole and go through. They are safe.
+
+The dog is mad. He can't go through the hole. He tries to bite the fence. He hurts his teeth. He goes away.
+
+Tom and his friends are happy. They hug each other. They are brave. They go back to the track and run some more. They have fun.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they quarrel. One day, they find a brush in their room. It is not their brush. It is unknown.
+
+"Who left this brush here?" Tom asks. He picks up the brush and looks at it. It has blue and green stripes.
+
+"Maybe it is Mom's brush," Anna says. She wants to touch the brush too. She reaches for it.
+
+"No, it is not Mom's brush. It is mine!" Tom says. He pulls the brush away from Anna. He does not want to share.
+
+"Yes, it is Mom's brush. Give it to me!" Anna says. She tries to grab the brush from Tom. She does not like when Tom is selfish.
+
+They start to quarrel. They tug and pull and shout. The brush flies out of their hands and lands on the floor. They both run to get it.
+
+But before they can reach it, they hear a voice. It is their big brother, Sam. He is standing in the door.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my brush?" Sam says. He looks angry. He walks to the brush and picks it up. "This is my brush. I got it for my birthday. It is special. You are not allowed to touch it."
+
+Tom and Anna stop quarreling. They look at Sam. They look at the brush. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Anna says.
+
+They did not know it was Sam's brush. They did not mean to make him mad.
+
+Sam sees their faces. He feels kind. He smiles.
+
+"It's okay," Sam says. "But next time, ask me before you play with my things. And don't quarrel. You are twins. You should share and be nice."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They hug Sam. They hug each other. They are happy. They do not quarrel anymore. They play with their own toys. They share and be nice.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the field. They ran and jumped and picked flowers. They saw a big tree with red apples. They wanted to eat some apples.
+
+They went to the tree and tried to reach the apples. But the apples were too high. Tom had an idea. He said, "I will shake the tree and the apples will fall. You catch them, Lily."
+
+Lily said, "OK, Tom. Be careful." She stood under the tree and waited. Tom climbed the tree and found a strong branch. He began to shake the tree hard.
+
+The apples started to fall. Lily was happy. She caught some apples in her hands and put them in a basket. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very good at shaking the tree."
+
+But Tom shook the tree too hard. The branch he was holding broke. Tom fell from the tree. He hit the ground with a loud thud. He cried out in pain. He hurt his head and his arm.
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the apples and ran to Tom. She saw blood on his head and his arm. She said, "Tom, Tom, are you OK? I will get help. Don't move."
+
+She ran to the house and called for their mom. Their mom came and saw Tom. She was very worried. She said, "Oh, Tom, what have you done? You are hurt. We have to go to the hospital."
+
+She picked up Tom and carried him to the car. She drove to the hospital fast. Lily followed them. She was sad. She wished they had not played with the tree. She hoped Tom would be OK. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I love you."
+Tom and Ben were friends who liked to play with cars. Tom had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They liked to trade cars sometimes and have fun.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new yellow car in the shop. He wanted it very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him, but she said no. He was sad and angry.
+
+He went to Ben's house and saw Ben playing with his blue car. He had an idea. He said to Ben, "Let's trade cars. You can have my red car and I can have your blue car." Ben agreed, because he liked the red car too.
+
+But Tom was not happy. He wanted the yellow car, not the blue car. He said to Ben, "This car is old and boring. I want the yellow car in the shop. Give me your money and I will buy it for you." Ben said no. He said, "That's not fair. You can't take my money and my car. I want my blue car back."
+
+Tom and Ben started to quarrel. They shouted and pushed each other. They were not friends anymore. They were enemies.
+
+They both ran to their moms and told them what happened. Their moms were very angry and disappointed. They said, "You are not gifted boys. You are greedy and selfish boys. You don't know how to share and be kind. You don't deserve to have any cars. We will take them away from you and give them to someone else."
+
+Tom and Ben cried and begged, but their moms did not listen. They took their cars and left. Tom and Ben had no cars and no friends. They were very sad and lonely. They wished they had not quarreled. They wished they had been gifted boys.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals in the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. They like to pet them and feed them.
+
+One day, they see a new animal in the farm. It has horns, a beard, and a long tail. It makes a loud sound. "Baa! Baa!" It says. Tom and Jen do not know what it is.
+
+"Let's guess what it is!" Tom says. "Is it a dog?" He asks.
+
+"No, it is not a dog. Dogs do not have horns." Jen says.
+
+"Is it a cat?" Jen asks.
+
+"No, it is not a cat. Cats do not have beards." Tom says.
+
+They think hard. They look at the animal. It is eating grass. It is jumping on a rock. It is dull. It is not colorful.
+
+"I know what it is!" Tom says. "It is a goat!"
+
+"Yes, you are right! It is a goat!" Jen says. "How did you guess?"
+
+"I saw a picture of a goat in a book. It looks like this." Tom says. He shows Jen the book.
+
+"Wow, you are smart!" Jen says. "Can we pet the goat?"
+
+"Sure, let's pet the goat!" Tom says.
+
+They go to the goat. They touch its fur. It is soft. They give it some grass. It is happy. It says "Baa! Baa!" again.
+
+Tom and Jen smile. They like the goat. They make a new friend in the farm.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their blocks. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. Sara has a red block and a blue block. Ben has a yellow block and a green block. They share the white blocks.
+
+"Look at my tower!" Sara says. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+"Look at my bridge!" Ben says. "It is very long and wide."
+
+They are happy and proud of their blocks.
+
+But then, Sara feels a tickle in her nose. She tries to hold it in, but she can't. She sneezes very loud and hard. Her sneeze blows down her tower and Ben's bridge. The blocks fly everywhere.
+
+"Ah-choo!" Sara sneezes.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben cries. "You broke our blocks!"
+
+Sara is sorry. She did not mean to sneeze. She looks at Ben. He is angry and sad. She wants to make him feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara says. "I did not want to sneeze. It was an accident."
+
+Ben looks at Sara. He sees that she is sorry. He also sees that she has a strip on her arm. It is a band-aid. She got it yesterday when she fell and scraped her arm. It was a mild scrape, but it still hurt.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asks. "Does your arm hurt?"
+
+Sara smiles. She is glad that Ben cares. She shakes her head.
+
+"No, Ben," Sara says. "My arm is fine. It is a mild scrape. It does not hurt anymore."
+
+Ben smiles back. He is glad that Sara is fine. He also remembers that sneezes are not bad. They are just part of being alive.
+
+"It's okay, Sara," Ben says. "I'm not mad at you. Sneeze is not your fault. It is just something that happens."
+
+Sara and Ben hug. They are friends again. They pick up their blocks and start to build again. They are happy and proud of their blocks.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the big park near their house. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. They also liked to pretend they were powerful heroes who could fight monsters.
+
+One day, they saw a big pile of leaves under a tree. They thought it looked like a good place to hide and surprise each other. Tom ran to the pile and jumped in. He waited for Lily to come and find him.
+
+But Lily did not come. She saw something move in the pile of leaves. She heard a growl. She was scared. She thought there was a monster in the pile. She ran away and called for her mom.
+
+Tom heard Lily scream. He popped out of the pile and saw her run. He was confused. He did not see any monster. He only saw leaves. He wondered why Lily was scared. He wanted to question her.
+
+He ran after her and caught up with her. He asked her what was wrong. Lily told him she saw a monster in the pile of leaves. Tom laughed. He told her there was no monster. He told her it was him. He showed her his leafy clothes and hair.
+
+Lily felt silly. She realized she was wrong. She apologized to Tom. She asked him if he was still her friend. Tom smiled. He said yes. He said he was still her powerful hero. He said they could go back and play in the pile of leaves.
+
+They hugged and ran back to the park. They had fun playing in the leaves. They pretended they were fighting monsters. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their dad's tools. They found a big box of screws and nuts in the garage. They wanted to make something with them.
+
+They took some screws and nuts and tried to put them together. They used a screwdriver and a wrench. They made a car, a robot, and a necklace. They had fun.
+
+But then dad came home. He saw the mess in the garage. He saw his tools and his screws and nuts. He was not happy.
+
+"Who did this?" he asked. "Who spent all my screws and nuts?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They were scared. They did not want to make dad angry.
+
+"We did, dad," they said. "We are sorry. We wanted to play with your tools. We made some things."
+
+Dad looked at their things. He saw the car, the robot, and the necklace. He smiled a little.
+
+"Well, you are very creative," he said. "But you should not play with my tools. They are old and sharp. You could hurt yourself. And you should not spend my screws and nuts. They are for fixing things. Not for playing."
+
+He picked up the necklace and put it around Lily's neck. He picked up the robot and gave it to Tom.
+
+"These are yours now," he said. "But next time, ask me first. And help me clean up the mess."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged dad and said they were sorry. They helped him put the tools and the screws and nuts back in the box. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily liked to play outside when it was sunny. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and bark.
+
+One day, it was not sunny. It was gray and cloudy. Tom and Lily heard a loud noise from the sky. It was thunder. They saw a bright light. It was lightning. They were scared. Spot was scared too. He ran inside the house.
+
+Tom and Lily followed Spot. They saw their grandma sitting on the couch. She was elderly. She had white hair and glasses. She smiled at them and said, "Don't be afraid. It's just a storm. It will pass soon."
+
+She pointed at the window and said, "Look, it's raining. Do you know what rain is? It's water that falls from the sky. It helps the plants and animals grow. It also makes rainbows. Do you know what rainbows are? They are colors that appear in the sky after the rain. They are a symbol of hope and happiness."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the window and saw the rain. They saw the drops on the glass. They saw the puddles on the ground. They saw the birds and squirrels hiding under the trees. They also saw a rainbow. It was bright and beautiful. It had red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. They smiled and said, "Wow, rainbows are pretty. They are a symbol of hope and happiness."
+
+Grandma hugged them and said, "Yes, they are. And so are you. You are my hope and happiness. I love you very much." Tom and Lily hugged her back and said, "We love you too, grandma." They felt warm and safe. They liked the rain and the rainbow. They liked their grandma and Spot. They liked their home. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big wreck in the park. It is an old bus. It is rusty and broken. They think it is cool.
+
+They climb inside the wreck. They pretend to drive the bus. They make noises like honk and beep. They have fun. But then, they hear a loud bark. It is a big dog. It is angry. It runs to the wreck. It wants to bite them.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They scream for help. They see a cute cat. It is on a tree. It hears them. It jumps from the tree. It lands on the dog. It scratches the dog. The dog yelps. It runs away.
+
+The cat saves Sara and Tom. They are happy. They thank the cat. They hug the cat. They unite with the cat. They make a new friend. They play with the cat. They forget the wreck. They have more fun.
+Sam and Lily were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they found a big card on the grass. It had a picture of a happy cat and a dog. Sam and Lily wanted to keep the card.
+
+But it started to rain. The rain was very hard and cold. Sam and Lily ran to their house. They forgot the card on the grass. The rain made the card wet and soft. The card was not pretty anymore.
+
+The next day, Sam and Lily went to look for the card. But they could not find it. A big truck had come and smashed the card. The card was dead. Sam and Lily were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had taken the card with them. They lost their friend. The end.
+Lily liked to whistle. She learned how to whistle from her dad, who whistled every morning when he made breakfast. Lily whistled when she played with her toys, when she brushed her teeth, and when she walked to the park with her mom.
+
+One day, Lily saw a dove on a tree branch. The dove was white and soft, and it had a shiny ring on its leg. Lily wanted to be friends with the dove, so she whistled to it. She whistled a happy tune, like her dad did.
+
+The dove heard Lily's whistle and looked at her. It tilted its head and cooed softly. Then it flew down from the tree and landed on Lily's shoulder. Lily was very surprised and happy. She smiled and stroked the dove's feathers.
+
+"Hello, dove," Lily said. "You are very pretty. Do you like my whistle?"
+
+The dove nodded and nuzzled Lily's cheek. It liked Lily's whistle. It liked Lily.
+
+But then, Lily heard a loud noise. It was a big dog, barking and running towards them. The dog wanted to catch the dove. Lily was scared. She hugged the dove and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" Lily cried. "The dog is chasing the dove!"
+
+Her mom saw the dog and the dove. She picked up Lily and the dove and moved away from the dog. She shooed the dog with her hand and said, "Go away, dog! Leave the dove alone!"
+
+The dog stopped and whimpered. It was weak and hungry. It did not mean to scare Lily and the dove. It just wanted some food.
+
+Lily's mom felt sorry for the dog. She took out a sandwich from her bag and threw it to the dog. The dog wagged its tail and ate the sandwich. It was grateful and happy.
+
+Lily's mom smiled and said, "There, there. The dog is not bad. It was just hungry. Now it has some food and it is happy. And you and the dove are safe and happy, too."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. You are very kind. And thank you, dove. You are very brave. Can you stay with me?"
+
+The dove cooed and kissed Lily's nose. It wanted to stay with Lily. It liked Lily.
+
+Lily whistled and said, "I love you, dove. You are my friend."
+
+The end.
+Tom is a tall boy who likes to question everything. He always asks his mom and dad why the sky is blue, why the sun is hot, why the grass is green, and many other things. He wants to learn about the world and how it works.
+
+One day, Tom sees that the leaves on the trees are changing color. Some are yellow, some are orange, some are red, and some are brown. He thinks they look pretty, but he wonders why they are different from before. He runs to his mom and asks her, "Mom, why are the leaves changing color?"
+
+His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "The leaves are changing color because the season is changing. Do you know what a season is?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not know what a season is.
+
+His mom explains, "A season is a time of the year when the weather and the nature change. There are four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Right now, we are in fall. In fall, the weather gets cooler, the days get shorter, and the leaves change color and fall off the trees. Soon, it will be winter. In winter, the weather gets colder, the days get even shorter, and sometimes it snows. Do you like snow?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes snow. He likes to make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. He says, "I like winter. Winter is fun."
+
+His mom says, "I like winter too. But I also like the other seasons. In spring, the weather gets warmer, the days get longer, and the flowers and the leaves grow back. In summer, the weather gets hotter, the days get very long, and we can go to the beach and swim. Every season has something special and beautiful. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "I think I understand. The seasons are different times of the year. They make the world change and look different. They are all nice in their own way."
+
+His mom says, "That's right. You are a very smart boy, Tom. And you ask very good questions. I'm proud of you."
+
+Tom smiles and hugs his mom. He says, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+He loves his mom, and he loves the seasons. He can't wait to see what the next season will bring. He knows he will have more questions, and he knows his mom will have more answers. He is happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing pirates on the beach. They had a big stick for a sword and a red scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on a boat made of sand and shells.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is another boat on the water!" Tom said, pointing to a modern ship with a big white sail. "Maybe they have treasure and gold!"
+
+"Let's attack them, Tom!" Lily said, waving her stick. "We are the bravest pirates in the world!"
+
+They ran to the shore and shouted, "Arrr, surrender, you scurvy dogs! Give us your treasure or we will sink your boat!"
+
+But the people on the boat did not hear them. They were too far away and too busy enjoying the sun and the breeze. They did not see the two little pirates on the beach.
+
+Tom and Lily were disappointed. They wanted to have a real battle and a real adventure. They went back to their sand boat and sat down.
+
+"Maybe we should find another boat to attack, Tom," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe we should just play something else, Lily," Tom said. "Pirates are fun, but they are also very noisy and mean. Maybe we can be explorers or astronauts or doctors instead."
+
+"OK, Tom, let's do that," Lily said. "But can we keep the stick and the scarf? They are very pretty."
+
+"Sure, Lily, we can keep them," Tom said. "They are our pirate treasures, after all."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wanted to look inside.
+
+"Be careful," Lily said. "The pit is deep and dark. You might fall in."
+
+"I'm not scared," Tom said. "I want to see what's in there. Maybe there's a treasure or a dinosaur."
+
+He ran to the edge of the pit and leaned over. He saw nothing but dirt and rocks. He was disappointed. He wanted to go closer.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Lily shouted. "It's not safe. You could slip and hurt yourself."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He took one more step and then he felt the ground move. He lost his balance and fell into the pit. He screamed.
+
+Lily was very worried. She ran to the pit and looked down. She saw Tom lying on the ground. He was not moving. She did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help!" she cried. "My friend is in the pit. He needs help. Please, someone, help!"
+
+A man heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. He saw the pit and Tom. He was serious.
+
+"This is bad," he said. "We need to call an ambulance. Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."
+
+He ran to his car and got his phone. He called the ambulance and told them what happened. He came back to Lily and tried to calm her down.
+
+"Don't worry," he said. "The ambulance is coming. They will help your friend. He will be okay."
+
+Lily hoped he was right. She was very scared and sad. She wished she and Tom had never gone to the pit. She wished they had played somewhere else. She wished Tom was with her. She prayed for him to be okay.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a pink tea set and Tom had a doctor kit. They pretended to have a tea party and a check-up.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Doctor Tom?" Lily asked, holding a pink cup.
+
+"Yes, please, Miss Lily," Tom said, putting his stethoscope around his neck. "But first, let me listen to your heart."
+
+Lily smiled and put the cup on the table. She lifted her shirt and let Tom put the stethoscope on her chest. Tom listened carefully and nodded.
+
+"Your heart sounds good, Miss Lily. Now, let me pour you some tea," he said, reaching for the pink teapot.
+
+But as he lifted the teapot, he spilled the water inside. The water was hot and it burned his hand. Tom screamed and dropped the teapot. The teapot broke and the water splashed on the carpet.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried, holding his hand. "It hurts, it hurts!"
+
+Lily was scared and ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She told her what happened and her mom came to the living room. She saw Tom crying and the mess on the floor.
+
+"Oh, no, Tom, what did you do?" she said, picking him up. "You need to go to the doctor. You have a bad burn. And look at the carpet. It's ruined."
+
+She took Tom to the car and drove him to the hospital. Lily stayed with her dad, who was angry. He scolded her for playing with hot water and breaking the teapot. He said she had to clean the carpet and throw away the tea set.
+
+Lily was sad and sorry. She wished she could go with Tom and say sorry to him. She wished they could play again and have a happy tea party. But they couldn't. It was a bad day.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play baseball. They have a big ball and a small bat. They go to the park and find a good spot to play. They take turns hitting and catching the ball.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Lily and Ben playing baseball. He wants to play too, but he does not ask nicely. He says, "Give me your ball and bat. They are mine now. You are too small to play baseball."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They do not want to give up their ball and bat. They like to play baseball. They say, "No, they are not yours. They are ours. We are playing baseball. You are not nice. Go away."
+
+The big boy gets angry. He tries to grab the ball and bat from Lily and Ben. They hold on tight and run away. The big boy chases them. He is faster and stronger. He catches up with them and pushes them down. He takes the ball and bat and laughs.
+
+Lily and Ben are hurt and angry. They cry and shout. They want their ball and bat back. They are rare and special. They were a gift from their grandma. They say, "Give them back. They are rare and special. They are a gift from our grandma. You are mean and bad. We will tell on you."
+
+A man sees what is happening. He is a police officer. He hears Lily and Ben crying and shouting. He sees the big boy with the ball and bat. He knows something is wrong. He comes over and asks, "What is going on here? Why are you crying and shouting? Why do you have their ball and bat?"
+
+The big boy lies. He says, "They are mine. I found them in the trash. They are old and dirty. They do not want them. They are lying and whining. They are trying to take them from me."
+
+The police officer does not believe him. He says, "That is not true. I can see they are rare and special. They are not old and dirty. They are new and shiny. They have their names on them. They are a gift from their grandma. You are lying and stealing. You are breaking the law."
+
+The police officer solves the problem. He gives the ball and bat back to Lily and Ben. He says, "Here you go. They are yours. You can play baseball. You are brave and good. I am sorry this happened to you."
+
+He takes the big boy with him. He says, "You are coming with me. You have to face the consequences. You have to say sorry and learn your lesson. You cannot play baseball. You are in trouble."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy and grateful. They say, "Thank you, officer. You are kind and helpful. You solved the problem. You are our hero."
+
+They hug the officer and each other. They go back to their spot and play baseball. They have fun and smile. They are friends who like to play baseball.
+Tom and Lily were very happy. Today, their grandpa would arrive. He had a big car and a big bag. He always brought them toys and books and sweets. They loved their grandpa very much.
+
+They waited at the door and looked out of the window. They saw a big car stop in front of their house. It was grandpa! He got out of the car and opened the big bag. He took out a big box and a small box. He smiled and waved at them.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to hug him. He hugged them back and kissed them. He said, "Hello, my lovely grandchildren. I have something for you." He gave them the boxes. Tom opened the big box and found a train set. He liked trains a lot. He said, "Wow, thank you, grandpa. This is the best train ever." Lily opened the small box and found a doll.

+Anna likes muffins. She likes to eat them with milk and jam. She likes to make them with Mommy. Mommy helps her mix the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the blueberries. They put the mix in the oven and wait for the muffins to bake.
+
+When the muffins are ready, they smell good. Mommy takes them out of the oven and puts them on a plate. She tells Anna to wait until they cool down. She says she has to leave for a minute. She has to get something from the car.
+
+Anna waits for Mommy. She looks at the muffins. They look yummy. She wants to taste one. She thinks Mommy will not mind. She takes a muffin from the plate and bites it. It is sweet and soft. She likes it a lot.

+Ben was a mighty cat. He liked to chase and catch mice. He was very fast and strong. He did not like to share his food with anyone.
+
+One day, he saw a mouse in the garden. He ran after it and caught it in his mouth. He was very proud and happy. He wanted to eat the mouse right away.

+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to collect flowers and leaves and make them into crowns and necklaces. But today they had no more flowers and leaves. They looked around and saw a big vine on the fence. It had green and purple grapes on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, grapes!" Lila said. "Let's collect some and eat them. They are sweet and juicy."
+
+"OK, Lila, but be careful. The vine is high and we need a ladder," Tom said. He found a ladder in the shed and put it near the fence. He climbed up and picked some grapes. He threw them down to Lila, who caught them in a basket.
+
+"Yum, these are good!" Lila said, biting into a grape. "Thank you, Tom."
+
+"You're welcome, Lila. Here, have some more," Tom said, throwing more grapes.

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was to use their mattress as a slide. They would put the mattress on the floor and lean it against the bed. Then they would climb on the bed and slide down the mattress, laughing and shouting.
+
+One day, their mom told them to clean their room and put the mattress back on the bed. Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing, so they ignored their mom and kept sliding. But they did not know that their mom had a surprise for them. She had bought a new toy for them, a big teddy bear that could talk and sing.
+
+She came to their room with the teddy bear and knocked on the door. But Tom and Lily did not hear her, because they were too busy sliding. She opened the door and saw the mess. She was angry and said, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? You did not listen to me. You have to put the mattress back on the bed and clean your room. And you will not get the teddy bear until you do."
+
+Tom and Lily were shocked and scared. They saw the teddy bear in their mom's hands and wanted it very much. But they also saw their mom's face and knew she was serious. They felt sorry and fearful. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will put the mattress back on the bed and clean our room. Please, can we have the teddy bear?"
+
+Their mom sighed and said, "OK, but you have to be quick and do a good job. And next time, you have to listen to me when I tell you something. The teddy bear is a gift for being good, not for being naughty." She gave them the teddy bear and said, "You can play with it after you finish your chores. But be careful, it is not a slide. It is a friend."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and hugged the teddy bear. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love the teddy bear. We will be good and do what you say." They put the mattress back on the bed and cleaned their room. Then they played with the teddy bear, who talked and sang to them. They were happy and forgot about the slide. They learned their lesson and never used the mattress as a slide again.

+
+"Help, help! Your dog is biting my friend!" Lily shouts.
+
+The man runs to the dog and tries to stop it. But it is too late. The dog has ripped Ben's pocket and his leg. Ben is bleeding a lot. He is in pain.
+
+The man is sorry. He says he is sorry. He says he will take Ben to the doctor. He says he will pay for the damage.
+
+But Lily and Ben are not happy. They are sad and angry. They do not want to play with the dog anymore. They do not want to be friends with the man. They do not want to go to the park anymore. They want to go home. They want to forget the bad day.

+
+But then Lily sees a shiny pin on the floor. She picks it up. She wants to make a necklace with it. She looks for a string. She does not see Ben.

+
+"I am here, Ben. What are you doing?" Lily answers. She comes back with a string. She sees Ben in the box.

+
+She puts the pin on the string. She ties it around Ben's neck. He smiles.

+
+They play with the box and the necklace. They are happy.
+Ben likes to observe things. He likes to look at them and learn their names and colors and shapes. He has a book with many pictures of things. He can point to them and say their names.
+
+One day, Ben finds a new thing in the kitchen. It is shiny and has four points. He picks it up and feels it. It is cold and hard and smooth. He wonders what it is. He looks at his book, but he does not see it there.
+
+He goes to his mom and shows her the thing. He asks, "Mom, what is this?" Mom smiles and says, "That is a fork, Ben. We use it to eat some foods, like salad or pasta. Do you want to try?" Ben nods. He is enthusiastic. He likes to try new things.
+
+Mom gives him a plate with some salad and a fork. She shows him how to poke the salad with the fork and bring it to his mouth. Ben tries to do the same. He feels the fork prick the lettuce and the tomato. He tastes the salad. It is crunchy and juicy and yummy.
+
+Ben likes the fork. He thinks it is a fun and useful thing. He says, "Thank you, Mom. I like the fork. Can I have more salad?" Mom laughs and says, "Of course, Ben. You are a good observer. You learn new things every day." Ben smiles and eats more salad with his fork. He is happy.
+Lily liked to play with her violin. It was a small violin, just right for her. She liked to make sounds with it, sometimes loud, sometimes soft. She liked to pretend she was a big violin player, like the ones she saw on TV.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to measure her violin. She wanted to know how big it was. She looked for something to measure with. She saw a ruler on the table. She took it and put it next to her violin.

+
+Her mom came and saw what Lily was doing. She smiled and said, "You want to measure your violin? That's a good idea. Let me help you." She took the ruler and showed Lily how to use it.

+Lily was happy to learn how to measure her violin. She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. She said, "I love my violin. It's not too big, not too small. It's just right for me. It's not an ordinary violin. It's a special violin." Her mom agreed and said, "You're right, Lily. Your violin is special, just like you. And you're a wonderful violin player.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+"Let's go up there!" Ben said. He ran to the tree and grabbed a branch. He pulled himself up and smiled.
+
+"Wait for me!" Lily said. She followed Ben and reached for a branch. But the branch was too high for her. She jumped and jumped, but she could not touch it.

+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy trucks. They had many trucks of different colors and sizes. They liked to load them with sand, rocks, leaves and sticks. They pretended they were workers who had to build things.
+
+One day, they decided to play near the river. The river was big and blue and made a nice sound. They found a spot where the water was shallow and calm. They brought their trucks and started to load them with pebbles and shells.
+
+They wanted to make a bridge across the river with their trucks. They thought it was a good idea and an original game. They lined up their trucks on one side of the river and tried to drive them to the other side. But the water was deeper than they thought. Their trucks got stuck and wet and some of them floated away.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They did not know how to get their trucks back. They started to cry and call for help. Their mom heard them and came running. She saw what happened and hugged them.

+
+Tom and Lily said they were sorry and thanked their mom. They learned their lesson and decided to play with their trucks somewhere else. They still liked to load them with different things, but they did not try to make a bridge across the river again. They had fun with their trucks and their mom.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build tall towers and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. They shared the blocks and had fun.

+But then, Lily saw a new block. It was big and brown and looked like lumber. Lily wanted to have the lumber block. She thought it would make her tower stronger and taller. She grabbed the lumber block from Ben's pile.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Ben said. He was angry. He tried to take the lumber block back from Lily. They pulled and pushed the block. They did not share.
+
+Suddenly, the lumber block started to glow. It made a strange noise. Lily and Ben were scared. They let go of the block. But it was too late. The lumber block had a magic power. It could shrink things that touched it.
+
+Lily and Ben felt a tickle. They looked at each other. They were small. Very small. Smaller than the blocks. Smaller than a mouse. They had shrunk because of the lumber block.
+
+They cried for help. But no one heard them. They were too small. They had to find a way to get big again. They had to work together. They had to share. They had to be careful of the lumber block. It was still glowing.
+Lily liked to play with her marbles. She had many marbles of different colors and sizes. She liked to roll them on the floor and make them bump into each other. She liked to sort them by color and count them. She liked to make patterns and shapes with them.
+
+One day, Lily found a new marble in her box. It was not like her regular marbles. It was bigger and heavier and shiny. It had swirls of blue and green and white inside it. It looked like the sea. Lily thought it was very pretty and special. She named it Sea Marble.
+
+Lily wanted to show Sea Marble to her friend Max. She put it in her pocket and went to his house. Max was playing with his toy boat in a big tub of water. He liked to make his boat sail across the water and pretend he was a captain. He liked to splash and make waves and noises.
+
+Lily showed Sea Marble to Max. He thought it was very pretty and special too. He asked Lily if he could hold it. Lily said yes, but be careful. Max took Sea Marble and looked at it closely. He saw the swirls of blue and green and white inside it. He thought it looked like the sea too.
+
+Max had an idea. He said to Lily, let's make Sea Marble sail. He put Sea Marble on his boat and pushed it across the water. Lily watched and smiled. She thought it was a good idea. She saw Sea Marble shine and sparkle on the boat. She thought it looked happy.
+
+But then, a big wave came and tipped the boat over. Sea Marble fell into the water and sank to the bottom. Lily and Max gasped and cried. They tried to reach for Sea Marble, but the water was too deep and too murky. They could not see Sea Marble anymore. They felt very sad and sorry.
+
+They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They said they did not mean to lose Sea Marble. They said they would try to find it later. They said they were still friends. They said they still liked to play with marbles and boats. They said they would be more careful next time. They said they hoped Sea Marble was okay. They said they missed Sea Marble.
+Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted more. They saw a big clock on the wall. It was shiny and round. They wanted to touch it.
+
+"Let's get the clock!" Lily said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"But Mom said no," Tom said. "She said it is not a toy. It is for telling time."
+
+Lily did not listen. She was silly. She climbed on a chair and reached for the clock. Tom was scared. He tried to stop her.
+
+"Lily, no!" he yelled. "You will fall!"
+
+But Lily did not hear him. She pulled the clock hard. The clock fell down. It hit Lily on the head. It broke into pieces. Lily cried. Tom cried. Mom heard the noise. She ran to the room.
+
+"What happened?" Mom asked. She saw the clock and Lily. She was angry and sad. She hugged Lily and checked her head. She was not hurt, but she had a bump.
+
+"Lily, why did you do that?" Mom asked. "You know the clock is not a toy. You could have hurt yourself or Tom. You were very naughty."
+
+Lily was sorry. She said sorry to Mom and Tom. But Mom was still mad. She took away their toys. She said they had to stay in their room. They had no more fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom. Do not touch things that are not yours. Do not be silly. Or you will have a bad ending.

+
+She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but she could not. She heard strange noises and saw scary shadows on the wall. She felt afraid and alone. She had a nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her and trying to eat her. She ran and ran, but the monster was faster. She screamed and cried, but no one heard her.
+
+She woke up with a start. She was sweating and shaking. She looked around and saw that she was in her room. She saw her teddy bear and her lamp. She realized that it was just a bad dream. She felt relieved and glad. She reached for her teddy bear and hugged it tight. She turned on her lamp and examined her room. She saw that there was nothing to be afraid of. The noises and shadows were from the wind and the moon. The monster was not real.
+
+She got out of bed and walked to her parents' room. She knocked on the door and opened it. She saw her mom and dad sleeping peacefully. She crawled into their bed and snuggled with them. She felt safe and warm. She told them about her nightmare and they comforted her. They kissed her and told her that they loved her.

+Sara loves to sing. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sings happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs.
+
+One day, Sara finds a mint in her pocket. She does not know where it came from. She asks her mom, "Mom, what is this?"
+
+Her mom looks at the mint and says, "That is a mint, Sara. It is a candy that makes your breath smell good. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Sara nods and puts the mint in her mouth. She feels a cold and sweet sensation. She likes it. She says, "Mmm, this is good, mom. Can I have more?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, Sara. But not too many. Too many mints can make your tummy hurt. And remember to brush your teeth after you eat candy."
+
+Sara says, "OK, mom. Thank you for the mint. Can I sing a song about it?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course, Sara. You can sing anything you want. I love to hear your voice."
+
+Sara sings a song about the mint. She sings, "Mint, mint, you are so nice. You make my mouth feel cold and ice. You are a candy from unknown. You are a friend when I am alone. Mint, mint, I love you so. You make me happy when I sing low. Mint, mint, you are the best. You are better than the rest."
+Tom was a big boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who delivered letters and packages to many houses. Tom wanted to be a mailman too, so his dad let him carry a small bag with some mail.
+
+One day, they came to a house that had a scary dog. The dog was big and loud and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at Tom and his dad. Tom was afraid of the dog, but his dad said, "Don't worry, Tom. The dog is behind a fence. He can't hurt us. We just have to deliver this package to the door."
+
+Tom looked at the package. It had a label with the name and address of the person who lived in the house. Tom wanted to be brave like his dad, so he said, "I can do it, dad. I can deliver the package." His dad smiled and said, "OK, Tom. But be careful and fast. And don't forget to ring the bell."
+
+Tom took the package from his dad and walked to the door. The dog kept barking and jumping at the fence. Tom felt his heart beat fast, but he did not stop. He put the package on the porch, near the door. He looked for the bell, but he could not find it. He saw a big red button instead. He thought it was the bell, so he pushed it.
+
+But it was not the bell. It was the alarm. As soon as Tom pushed the button, a loud siren went off. The dog barked louder. The door opened and a man came out. He looked angry and confused. He saw Tom and the package and the alarm. He said, "What are you doing here, kid? Who are you?"
+
+Tom was scared. He did not know what to say. He ran back to his dad, who was waiting by the car. His dad hugged him and said, "It's OK, Tom. You did a good job. You delivered the package. But next time, look for the bell, not the alarm."
+
+Tom nodded. He was glad his dad was proud of him. He was also glad they did not have to deliver any more packages to that house. He decided he still wanted to be a mailman, but maybe not to houses with scary dogs.
+Lila was a little bird who liked to sing. She had a nest on a big tree with her mom and dad. They were happy there and had many friends.
+
+One day, a big storm came and made a lot of wind and rain. The wind was so strong that it broke Lila's nest and threw it to the ground. Lila was scared and sad. She cried for her mom and dad.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her and flew down to find her. They hugged her and told her they were okay. They said they needed to find a new nest. They looked around and saw a branch that was still on the tree. It was big and strong and had some leaves.
+
+They decided to use the branch to make a new nest. They worked hard and used some grass and mud and feathers to make it cozy. Lila helped them and felt better. She sang a song to thank the branch.
+
+But then, a big squirrel came and saw the nest. He was angry and wanted the branch for himself. He ran up the tree and tried to push the nest off. He shouted at Lila and her mom and dad and said they had to leave.
+
+Lila and her mom and dad were not afraid. They told the squirrel to go away and that the branch was theirs. They pecked at him and flapped their wings and made a lot of noise. The squirrel was surprised and scared. He ran away and left them alone.
+
+Lila and her mom and dad were happy again. They snuggled in their new nest and thanked the branch again. They said they loved each other and fell asleep.

+He ran to the pile and picked up a potato. It was heavy and cold in his hand. He put it in his truck and smiled. He picked up another potato and another. Soon, his truck was full of potatoes.
+
+He was about to drive away when he heard a loud voice. It was his mom. She was angry. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? Those are not your potatoes. Those are our potatoes. We need them for dinner. You can't borrow them. You have to put them back."

+
+His mom sighed and hugged him. She said, "I know, Tom. But you have to ask before you borrow something. And you have to return it when you are done. Potatoes are not toys. They are food. We have to be careful with them. Now, help me put them back in the pile."
+
+Tom nodded and helped his mom. He took the potatoes out of his truck and put them back in the pile. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't borrow the potatoes again. Can I play with something else?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Of course, Tom. You can play with anything you want. As long as you ask first. And as long as you are careful. How about some carrots? They are orange and long and crunchy. You can pretend they are rockets or swords or anything you like."
+
+Tom liked the idea. He said, "Yes, mom. That sounds like fun. Can I borrow some carrots, please?"

+"Of course, dear. That is a special cake for you and Lisa. I made it this morning. It has chocolate and strawberries. Do you like cake, Tom?"
+
+"Yes, I do. I love cake. Thank you, grandma," Tom says. He takes a plate and a fork and cuts a big slice of cake.
+
+Lisa hears Tom and leaves the cat. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the cake and her eyes light up.
+
+"Wow, cake. Can I have some too, grandma?" Lisa says.
+
+"Sure, dear. There is enough for everyone. Come and sit at the table. I will bring you some milk too," grandma says. She takes another plate and a fork and cuts a slice of cake for Lisa.
+
+Tom and Lisa sit at the table and eat the cake. They think it is the best cake ever. They thank grandma and tell her they love her.
+
+Grandma smiles and hugs them. She is happy to see them enjoy the cake. She loves them too.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse that their parent gave them for their birthday. The dollhouse had many rooms, furniture, and dolls that they could move around and pretend with.
+
+One night, after their parent read them a story and kissed them good night, Ben and Lily decided to sneak out of their bed and play with the dollhouse some more. They tiptoed to the living room, where the dollhouse was, and turned on a small lamp. They whispered to each other as they opened the dollhouse and picked up the dolls.
+
+"Let's make the dolls have a party," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, but we have to be quiet, or our parent will hear us," Lily said.
+
+They made the dolls dance, sing, and eat cake in the dollhouse. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time and the noise. They did not hear their parent wake up and walk to the living room.
+
+"What are you two doing?" their parent asked in a loud and angry voice. "You should be sleeping, not playing. It's very late and you have school tomorrow."
+
+Ben and Lily dropped the dolls and looked at their parent with fear. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to say sorry, but their parent was too mad to listen. Their parent grabbed the dollhouse and lifted it up.
+
+"This dollhouse is too fragile for you. You don't know how to take care of it. You don't deserve it. I'm going to throw it away," their parent said.
+
+"No, please, don't do that," Ben and Lily cried. "We love the dollhouse. It's our favorite toy. Please, please, don't throw it away."
+
+But their parent did not listen. Their parent walked to the door and threw the dollhouse outside. The dollhouse crashed on the ground and broke into pieces. The dolls, the furniture, and the cake flew everywhere. Ben and Lily ran to the door and saw their dollhouse destroyed. They sobbed and hugged each other.
+
+Their parent did not feel sorry for them. Their parent told them to go back to their bed and not to come out until morning. Their parent turned off the lamp and left them alone in the dark. Ben and Lily were very sad and scared. They wished they had listened to their parent and slept. They wished they still had their dollhouse. They wished their parent loved them.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang when she played, when she ate, and when she brushed her teeth. She sang loud and high, like the people in the opera.
+
+One day, Lily's mom took her to the library. Lily saw many books with pictures and words. She wanted to read them all. She picked one and opened it. She saw a word she did not know. She asked her mom, "What is this word?"
+
+Her mom looked at the book and said, "That word is repeat. It means to say or do something again and again."
+
+Lily liked the word repeat. She said it out loud. "Repeat, repeat, repeat." She said it again and again. She said it loud and high, like the people in the opera.
+
+The other people in the library did not like Lily's singing. They said, "Shh, shh, shh. This is a quiet place. You have to be quiet."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She was persistent. She liked to sing. She liked the word repeat. She sang, "Repeat, repeat, repeat." She sang again and again. She sang loud and high, like the people in the opera.
+
+Her mom tried to stop her. She said, "Lily, please stop. You are making too much noise. You are bothering the other people. You have to be respectful."
+
+But Lily did not stop. She was persistent. She liked to sing. She liked the word repeat. She sang, "Repeat, repeat, repeat." She sang again and again. She sang loud and high, like the people in the opera.
+
+The other people in the library had enough. They said, "Enough, enough, enough. We can't take it anymore. You have to leave. You have to go home."
+
+Lily's mom was embarrassed. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We will leave. We will go home."
+
+She took Lily by the hand and walked out of the library. Lily was sad. She did not want to leave. She wanted to read more books. She wanted to sing more songs. She wanted to repeat more words.
+
+She said to her mom, "Mom, can we come back to the library tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe. But only if you promise to be quiet. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe. But can I still sing at home?"
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, yes, yes. You can sing at home. You can sing as loud and high as you want. You can sing like the people in the opera."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the best mom ever."
+
+She hugged her mom and sang, "Repeat, repeat, repeat." She sang loud and high, like the people in the opera.
+Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. Lily has a doll with a pink dress and Max has a car with orange wheels. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Lily and Max see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and has a long tail. It barks and runs towards them. Lily and Max are scared. They hug each other and hide behind a bench.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Max shouts. "We don't want to play with you!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. It jumps on the bench and licks their faces. Lily and Max scream and cry.
+
+"Help, help!" they call.
+
+A lady hears them and comes to the park. She sees the dog and the children. She is the dog's owner. She is sorry that the dog scared them.
+
+"I'm so sorry, kids. He is a friendly dog. He just wanted to say hello. He likes to kiss people. He won't hurt you. What are your names?" she asks.
+
+"I'm Lily and this is Max. We are best friends. We don't like your dog. He is too big and loud. He made us sad." Lily says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily and Max. My dog's name is Spot. He is a good dog. He likes to play and make friends. He is sorry too. Can you forgive him?" the lady says.
+
+Lily and Max look at the dog. The dog looks at them with big eyes. He wags his tail and whines. He seems sorry.
+
+"Maybe he is not so bad. Maybe he is just lonely. Maybe he wants to be our friend too." Max says.
+
+"Maybe. But he has to be nice and gentle. And he has to stay away from our toys. They are ours." Lily says.
+
+"OK. I will tell him that. He will listen to me. He is a smart dog. Can you give him a chance?" the lady says.
+
+Lily and Max think for a moment. Then they nod. They are brave and kind. They go to the dog and pet him. The dog is happy. He licks their hands and wags his tail. He is gentle and quiet.
+
+"See? He is a good dog. He likes you. He wants to be your friend. Can you kiss him and say sorry?" the lady says.
+
+Lily and Max kiss the dog on his head and say sorry. The dog kisses them back and says woof. They are friends now.
+
+The lady smiles and says thank you. She says they can play with the dog if they want. She says she will stay with them and watch them. Lily and Max say yes. They play with the dog and their toys. They have fun. They are happy.
+Ben and Tom are youths. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a big black car in the park. It is shiny and fast. They both want to play with it.
+
+"Give me the car!" Ben says. He tries to grab it from Tom.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He holds it tight and runs away.
+
+Ben runs after him. They fight for the car. They push and pull and shout. They do not see the big dog that is watching them.
+
+The dog is black too. It is hungry and angry. It barks and runs to Ben and Tom. It wants to bite them.
+
+"Help!" Ben and Tom scream. They drop the car and run away. They are scared of the dog.
+
+They hide behind a tree. They hug each other. They are sorry for fighting.
+
+"Let's be friends," Ben says.
+
+"OK, let's be friends," Tom says.
+
+They smile and shake hands. They do not want the car anymore. They want to play with something else. They see a ball near the tree. They pick it up and throw it to each other. They have fun.
+
+The dog finds the car. It sniffs it and bites it. It does not like it. It spits it out and walks away. It looks for something else to eat.
+Sam and Mia like to play with their toy boat. They have a big tub of water in the garden, and they put the boat in it. They pretend they are sailors, and they make the boat sail with a stick.
+
+"Look, Mia, the boat is fast!" Sam says. He holds the stick and pushes the boat.
+
+"Yes, it is, Sam. But be careful, don't make it tip over!" Mia says. She holds the other end of the stick and helps Sam.
+
+They have fun with the boat for a long time. But then, the wind starts to blow. The water becomes wavy, and the boat starts to rock.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, the boat is in trouble!" Sam says. He tries to hold the stick, but the wind is too strong. The stick slips from his hand, and the boat sails away.
+
+"Sam, we have to get the boat back!" Mia says. She is restless. She does not want to lose the boat. She runs to the edge of the tub and reaches for the boat.
+
+But the boat is too far. Mia cannot catch it. She is sad. She looks at Sam.
+
+"Sam, what can we do?" Mia says.
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Mia, I have a plan. Come with me!" Sam says.
+
+He runs to the shed and gets a rope. He ties one end of the rope to the stick, and the other end to a bucket. He fills the bucket with water.
+
+"Mia, help me carry this!" Sam says.
+
+He and Mia carry the bucket and the rope to the tub. They throw the bucket into the water. The bucket sinks, and the rope stretches.
+
+"Sam, I see the boat!" Mia says. She points to the boat, which is near the bucket.
+
+"Good, Mia. Now, pull the rope!" Sam says.
+
+He and Mia pull the rope together. The bucket moves, and the boat follows. They pull the rope until the boat is close enough to grab.
+
+"Yay, we got the boat!" Sam says. He holds the boat and smiles.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Mia says. She holds the stick and smiles.
+
+They hug each other and laugh. They are happy. They have their boat back. They are good sailors.
+Tim and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make their own games. They saw a big window on the wall. The window was closed, but they wanted to open it and look outside.
+
+"Let's open the window!" Tim said. "We can see the birds and the trees and the sky!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "But how can we reach it? It is too high for us."
+
+Tim had an idea. He saw a black chair in the corner. He pushed the chair to the window. He climbed on the chair and tried to open the window. But the window was stuck. He pushed and pulled, but it did not move.
+
+"Help me, Lily!" Tim said. "We can do it together!"
+
+Lily climbed on the chair too. She helped Tim to push and pull the window. They used all their strength. They did not give up. They wanted to succeed.
+
+Finally, the window opened. They heard a loud click. They saw a bright light. They felt a fresh breeze. They smiled and cheered.
+
+"We did it!" Tim said. "We opened the window!"
+
+"We succeeded!" Lily said. "We are so smart and strong!"
+
+They looked outside. They saw the birds and the trees and the sky. They were happy and proud. They waved to the world. They had fun with their window.
+One day, a lady came to visit Tom and his mom. She had a big bag with her. Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was in the bag.
+
+"Hello, Tom," the lady said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, please," Tom said. He liked the lady. She was nice and smiled a lot.
+
+The lady opened her bag and took out some toys. There were dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. Tom was happy. He picked up a doll. It had a pretty dress and long hair.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," the lady said. "This is a delicate doll. You have to hold it gently."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked the doll. He wanted to show it to his mom. He ran to the kitchen, where his mom was making cookies.
+
+"Look, mom," Tom said. "The lady gave me a doll. It is delicate."
+
+Mom smiled. She saw the doll. It was very beautiful. She also saw the lady. She was standing in the doorway.
+
+"Hello, mom," the lady said. "I'm sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask you something."
+
+"What is it?" mom asked.
+
+The lady looked around. She saw a door. It had a lock on it.
+
+"Can I use your bathroom?" the lady asked. "It's urgent."
+
+"Of course," mom said. "It's right there. Just turn the lock to open it."
+
+The lady thanked mom. She walked to the door. She turned the lock. She opened the door. She went inside. She closed the door. She turned the lock again.
+
+Tom and mom waited for the lady. They ate some cookies. They talked about the toys. They wondered what the lady was doing.
+
+They waited for a long time. They heard nothing from the bathroom. They started to worry.
+
+"Is the lady okay?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," mom said. "Let's go check on her."
+
+They walked to the door. They knocked on it.
+
+"Lady, are you there?" mom asked.
+
+There was no answer. They knocked again.
+
+"Lady, please open the door," mom said.
+
+There was still no answer. They tried to turn the lock. It was stuck.
+
+"Oh no," mom said. "The lock is broken. We can't open the door."
+
+Tom and mom were scared. They didn't know what to do. They didn't know where the lady was. They didn't know why she locked the door. They didn't know how to get her out.
+
+They needed help. They needed someone who could fix the lock. They needed someone who could find the lady.
+
+They needed dad.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red and green fruits. Lily wanted to pick some fruits and eat them. Tom said no.
+
+"Mom said these fruits are bad. They make you sick. We should resist them," Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She climbed the tree and picked a red fruit. It looked juicy and sweet. She took a big bite.
+
+"Yum, this is good. You should try it, Tom," Lily said.
+
+Tom shook his head. He stayed on the ground. He saw Lily's face turn red. She dropped the fruit. It was broken and had a worm inside.
+
+"Yuck, this is gross. I feel bad. My tummy hurts," Lily said.
+
+She climbed down the tree. She ran to the house. She wanted Mom to help her. But Mom was not home. She had gone to the store. Lily and Tom were alone. Lily cried and cried. Tom did not know what to do. He wished he had stopped Lily from eating the bad fruit. He was scared. He hugged Lily and hoped she would be okay. But she was not. She got sicker and sicker. The end.
+Sara was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to eat healthy food, like fruits and vegetables. Her mom was proud of her and always gave her a hug and a kiss.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big fan in the living room. It was spinning fast and making a cool breeze. Sara was curious and wanted to touch it. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a fan, Sara. It helps us stay cool when it is hot. But you should not touch it, because it can hurt you. It has sharp blades that can cut your fingers. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded, but she was still curious. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she tiptoed to the fan and reached out her hand. She wanted to feel the wind and the blades.
+
+But as soon as she touched the fan, she felt a sharp pain. She screamed and pulled back her hand. She saw blood on her fingers and tears in her eyes. She ran to her mom and cried, "Mom, mom, the fan hurt me!"
+
+Her mom heard her scream and rushed to her. She saw her hand and said, "Oh, Sara, I told you not to touch the fan. You are a very intelligent girl, but you did not listen to me. Now you have a wound and it will take time to heal. Come, let me clean it and put a bandage on it. And then you can eat some ice cream to make you feel better."
+
+Sara hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was curious and I did not listen to you. I will not touch the fan again. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a very intelligent girl, but you also need to be careful and follow the rules. Now let's go and eat some ice cream."
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, Lily has to move to a new house far away. She is sad and scared.
+
+"Will you still be my friend?" she asks Ben.
+
+"Of course I will!" Ben says. "We can write letters to each other. Do you know what letters are?"
+
+Lily nods. "They are words on paper. You put them in an envelope and send them with the post."
+
+"Yes, that's right. And you can also draw pictures and send them with the letters. I will do the same. I promise!" Ben says.
+
+He gives Lily a hug and a colorful sticker. Lily smiles and gives him a toy car. They say goodbye and promise to write soon.
+
+Lily and Ben miss each other a lot. But every week, they get a letter from the post. They read the words and look at the pictures. They see what the other is doing and how they are feeling. They write back and tell each other their stories and jokes. They also send more stickers and toys.
+
+They are happy to have each other as friends. They keep their promise and never forget.
+Tom and Lily are eager to play with their new toy. It is a big yellow ball that can squeeze and make funny noises. They take turns to squeeze the ball and laugh at the sounds it makes.
+
+"Can I squeeze it again?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"Okay, but only one more time. Then we have to do our quiz," Tom says.
+
+"What is a quiz?" Lily wonders.
+
+"It is a game where Mommy asks us questions and we have to answer them. If we answer right, we get a sticker. If we answer wrong, we have to try again," Tom explains.
+
+Lily thinks that sounds fun. She squeezes the ball one more time and then gives it to Tom. They put the ball away and go to the table where Mommy is waiting with some papers and crayons.
+
+"Are you ready for your quiz?" Mommy asks with a smile.
+
+"Yes, Mommy!" Tom and Lily say together.
+
+Mommy shows them a picture of a cat and asks them what color it is. Tom and Lily look at the picture and say "black" at the same time. Mommy gives them each a sticker and praises them.
+
+"Good job! Now, what sound does a cat make?" Mommy asks.
+
+Tom and Lily think for a moment and then say "meow" at the same time. Mommy gives them another sticker and hugs them.
+
+"Very good! You are both very smart. Do you want to do more quiz or play with your ball?" Mommy asks.
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other and then say "both" at the same time. Mommy laughs and agrees.
+
+"Okay, let's do both. We can do one more question and then you can squeeze your ball for a while. How does that sound?" Mommy asks.
+
+Tom and Lily nod and smile. They are eager to do more quiz and play with their ball. They love learning and having fun with Mommy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. The farm has many animals. Anna likes the cows. Ben likes the pigs.
+
+One day, they see a big truck on the farm. The truck has a sign. The sign says "Open Farm Day". Anna and Ben are happy. They want to see the truck.
+
+They run to the truck. They see a man. The man is smiling. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see the farm?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, please!"
+
+The man says, "OK, hop on the truck. I will show you around."
+
+Anna and Ben climb on the truck. The truck starts to move. The man says, "This is the open farm day. You can see and touch the animals. You can also ask me questions."
+
+Anna and Ben are excited. They see the cows, the pigs, the sheep, the chickens, and the horses. They touch the animals. They ask the man questions.
+
+The man answers their questions. He tells them the names of the animals, what they eat, and what they do.
+
+Anna and Ben learn a lot. They have fun.
+
+The truck stops at the end of the farm. The man says, "This is the end of the tour. I hope you enjoyed it."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Thank you, mister. We had a lot of fun. We learned a lot."
+
+The man says, "You're welcome, kids. You can come back anytime."
+
+Anna and Ben get off the truck. They wave goodbye to the man. They run back to their parents.
+
+Their parents ask them, "How was the open farm day?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "It was great! We saw and touched the animals. We asked and answered questions."
+
+Their parents say, "That's wonderful. What was your favorite animal?"
+
+Anna says, "I liked the cows. They are big and soft."
+
+Ben says, "I liked the pigs. They are funny and dirty."
+
+Their parents smile. They say, "We're glad you had fun."
+
+Anna and Ben hug their parents. They say, "We love you. And we love the farm."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they also liked to tease each other. One day, they found a big cake on the table. It looked very tasty and smelled good. They wanted to eat some, but their mom said no. She said the cake was for their dad's birthday and they had to wait.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and bored. They looked at the cake and licked their lips. They thought of a way to have some fun. They decided to play a game. They would take turns to pinch a small piece of the cake and eat it. They thought their mom would not notice.
+
+Tom went first. He pinched a piece of the cake and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and soft. He smiled and said, "Mmm, this is tasty!" Lily saw him and wanted to try too. She pinched a piece of the cake and ate it. She agreed, "Yes, this is tasty!"
+
+They kept pinching and eating the cake. They did not see their mom coming. She saw the cake and gasped. It had many holes and crumbs. She was angry and sad. She said, "Who did this? Who ruined the cake?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt guilty and scared. They knew they did something bad. They said, "We did, mom. We are sorry. We played a game and pinched the cake. We did not mean to ruin it."
+
+Their mom shook her head. She said, "That was not a nice game. That was a naughty game. You should not pinch things that are not yours. You should not spoil things that are for others. You should not lie and hide. You should be honest and kind. How do you think your dad will feel when he sees the cake?"
+
+Tom and Lily realized their mistake. They felt sorry for their dad. They said, "We are very sorry, mom. We love dad. We want him to be happy. Can we help you fix the cake?"
+
+Their mom sighed. She said, "Well, you can try. But you have to promise me that you will not pinch anything again. And you have to say sorry to your dad too. And you have to share the cake with him. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We promise. We are sorry. We love you and dad."
+
+Their mom hugged them. She said, "I love you too, my little ones. But please, be good and careful next time. And remember, pinching is not a good way to have fun."
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise.
+
+Mum is in the kitchen. She is cooking dinner. She is busy. She needs to use the telephone to call Dad. He is at work. She wants to tell him what time to come home.
+
+Mum picks up the telephone and dials the number. She waits for Dad to answer. She hears a beep. She says, "Hello, Dad. It's Mum. How are you?"
+
+Lily and Tom hear Mum talking. They are curious. They want to talk to Dad too. They run to the kitchen. They shout, "Mum, Mum, can we talk to Dad? We miss him. We have something to tell him."
+
+Mum is surprised. She says, "Shh, Lily and Tom. I'm on the telephone. You have to be quiet. Dad is busy too. He can't talk for long. You can talk to him later, when he comes home."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They don't understand. They think Mum is being mean. They say, "But Mum, we need to talk to Dad. We love him. We want to say hello."
+
+Mum sighs. She says, "I know, Lily and Tom. I love him too. But we have to be polite. We have to wait for our turn. Why don't you go back to the living room and play with your toys? I'll be with you soon. I promise."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say, "OK, Mum. We're sorry. We'll be good. We'll play quietly."
+
+They go back to the living room. They pick up their toys. They play nicely. They wait for Mum to finish the telephone call. They wait for Dad to come home. They hope he will be happy to see them. They hope he will have time to listen to their stories. They love him very much.
+Lily loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a red-haired model. She named her Rose and gave her the best clothes and shoes. She liked to pretend that Rose was a famous star who went to many parties and shows.
+
+One day, Lily's friend Anna came to visit. Anna saw Rose and wanted to play with her too. She asked Lily if she could hold her and dress her up. Lily said no. She said that Rose was her doll and she did not want to share. Anna felt sad and hurt. She said that Lily was not a good friend and left.
+
+Lily did not care. She hugged Rose and said that she only needed her. She did not need any other friends. She played with Rose all day and all night. She did not talk to anyone else or do anything else.
+
+But soon, Lily started to feel lonely. She missed Anna and her other friends. She missed going outside and having fun. She missed learning new things and seeing new things. She realized that playing with Rose was not enough. She needed real friends who could talk to her and care for her.
+
+She decided to call Anna and say sorry. She said that she was wrong and selfish. She said that she wanted to be friends again and share Rose with her. Anna was happy to hear that. She said that she forgave Lily and missed her too. She said that she would come over and play with her and Rose.
+
+Lily learned a lesson. She learned that dolls are fun, but friends are better. She learned that sharing is caring and that being greedy makes you suffer. She learned that having a red-haired model is not as important as having a good heart.
+Tom and Mia are players. They like to play with their bikes. They ride their bikes in the park. They see who can ride faster.
+
+"Look at me, Mia!" Tom says. "I can ride very fast!"
+
+Mia smiles. She rides faster too. She wants to catch up with Tom.
+
+"Wait for me, Tom!" Mia says. "I can ride fast too!"
+
+They ride and ride. They have fun. They see a big hill. They want to ride down the hill.
+
+"Let's ride down the hill, Mia!" Tom says. "It will be fun!"
+
+Mia nods. She is not afraid. She follows Tom. They ride down the hill. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh.
+
+They reach the bottom of the hill. They are happy. They high-five each other.
+
+"We did it, Tom!" Mia says. "We rode down the hill!"
+
+"We are fast riders, Mia!" Tom says. "We are the best!"
+
+They hug each other. They are friends. They love to ride their bikes.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big kangaroo with a baby in her pouch. They want to pet the kangaroo, but she is scared of them.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo," Tom says. "We are nice. Can we touch you?"
+
+The kangaroo shakes her head. She hops away from Tom and Lily. She looks for a safe place to hide.
+
+Tom and Lily run after the kangaroo. They think it is a game. They do not see the big fence with a sign that says "Do not enter".
+
+The kangaroo sees the fence. She jumps over it. She lands in a big cage with a lock. She is trapped.
+
+Tom and Lily reach the fence. They see the kangaroo in the cage. They see the sign that says "Do not enter". They feel bad.
+
+"Sorry, kangaroo," Lily says. "We did not mean to scare you. We just wanted to be your friends."
+
+The kangaroo looks at Tom and Lily. She sees that they are sorry. She nods her head.
+
+Tom and Lily look for a way to help the kangaroo. They see a big key on a hook. They take the key and put it in the lock. They turn the key and open the cage.
+
+The kangaroo is free. She hops out of the cage. She thanks Tom and Lily with a smile. She takes her baby and hops away.
+
+Tom and Lily wave goodbye to the kangaroo. They are happy that they helped her. They go back to the park.
+
+It starts to rain. Tom and Lily are wet. They do not mind. They laugh and splash in the puddles. They have fun.
+Lila and Mom go to yoga every week. They like to stretch and breathe and relax. They have a mat and a water bottle and a towel. They wear comfy clothes and socks.
+
+One day, they meet a new friend at yoga. Her name is Ria. She has long hair and a beautiful smile. She says hello to Lila and Mom and asks if she can join them. They say yes and make room for her on the floor.

+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big crane. The crane could lift and move things with a long arm and a hook. Tom and Anna pretended to build houses and bridges with the crane.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the next garden. His name was Ben and he had a bike. Tom and Anna wanted to be friends with Ben, so they waved and said hello. Ben came over and looked at their toys. He saw the crane and said, "Can I play with that?"
+
+Tom and Anna said yes, but they told him to be careful. The crane was not a toy for careless boys. It could break or hurt someone if not used right. They showed him how to use the arm and the hook and what to lift and what not to lift. Ben nodded and said he understood.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was a careless boy. He wanted to lift everything he saw, even things that were too big or too heavy. He lifted a flower pot, a bucket, a chair, and even Tom's teddy bear. He swung them around and dropped them on the ground. He laughed and said it was fun.
+
+Tom and Anna were angry and scared. They told Ben to stop, but he did not. He lifted the bike and tried to swing it over the fence. But the bike was too heavy for the crane. The arm bent and the hook snapped. The bike fell on the fence and broke it. Ben was shocked and scared. He ran away and did not say sorry.
+
+Tom and Anna were sad and mad. They looked at their broken crane and their broken fence. They wished they had not let Ben play with their crane. They wished they had not been friends with him. They learned a lesson. They would not recommend a careless boy to anyone.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to find new things to play with. One day, they saw a big barrel near the fence. It was brown and round and had a hole on the top.
+
+"Let's see what's inside!" Lily said. She climbed on the barrel and looked down. She saw something shiny and sparkly. "Wow! Look, Ben! There are jewels in here! We are rich!"
+
+Ben was jealous. He wanted to see the jewels too. He pushed Lily off the barrel and climbed on it. He reached his hand inside and grabbed a handful of jewels. But as soon as he touched them, he felt a sharp pain. He screamed and pulled his hand out. He saw blood and cuts on his fingers. The jewels were not jewels. They were broken glass.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and saw his hand. She felt sorry for him. She wrapped her scarf around his hand and hugged him. "Don't cry, Ben. It's okay. I'm sorry I was mean to you. You are my friend."
+
+Ben shivered. He was cold and scared and hurt. He hugged Lily back. "I'm sorry too, Lily. You are my friend. I was silly to be jealous. The glass was not worth it."
+
+They walked away from the barrel and went to find their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are not what they seem. And they learned that friendship is more precious than any jewel.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were driving different vehicles, like cars, trucks, and buses. They made noises and moved their toys around the floor.
+
+"Beep beep! I'm a bus!" Lily said, holding a yellow toy bus. "I have many people inside. I need to arrive at the park soon."
+
+"Vroom vroom! I'm a car!" Tom said, holding a red toy car. "I'm faster than you. I can go wherever I want."
+
+Tom and Lily drove their toys around, but they did not pay attention to each other. They bumped into each other and made their toys fall.
+
+"Hey, watch out!" Lily said. "You're rude! You made my bus crash!"
+
+"No, you watch out!" Tom said. "You're rude! You made my car break!"
+
+They started to argue and shout. They did not want to share their toys or say sorry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tom and Lily fighting and their toys scattered.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you being rude to each other?"
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and guilty.
+
+"We were playing with our vehicles, but we bumped into each other and made our toys fall," Lily said.
+
+"We did not mean to, but we got angry and yelled," Tom said.
+
+Mom nodded and said, "I understand. Sometimes accidents happen, and sometimes we get angry. But that's not a reason to be rude. You need to be careful and respectful when you play. And you need to apologize and forgive when you make a mistake."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Tom."
+
+They hugged each other and picked up their toys. They decided to play together and help each other. They made their vehicles arrive at the park and had fun. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you."

+
+Ding! The oven makes a sound. Sam's mom says, "The cookies are ready. Let's take them out." She wears gloves and takes out the tray. She puts it on the table. She says, "Be careful. The cookies are hot. You have to wait for them to cool down."
+
+Sam and Mia look at the cookies. They smell good. They see their shapes. They are proud of their work. They wait for the cookies to cool down. They are hungry.
+
+Sam's mom says, "Okay, you can have one cookie each. Which one do you want?" Sam picks a star. Mia picks a heart. They bite the cookies. They are crunchy and sweet. They say, "Mmm, these are good. Thank you, Sam's mom."
+
+Sam's mom says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. You did a great job with the dough. You can take some home if you want."
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Yes, please!" They put some cookies in a bag. They hug Sam's mom. They say, "Bye, Sam's mom. We had fun. We enjoy playing with dough and baking cookies."

+
+"You can have some water. Juice is for later," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are not happy. They want juice now. They see a big bottle of juice on the table. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"Mom, can we go to our room and play?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be quiet. Dad is working in his office. He is deaf. He can't hear us," Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will be quiet," Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben run to their room. They take the bottle of juice with them. They close the door. They drink the juice. They drink a lot. They feel happy.
+
+But Mom is not happy. She sees the empty bottle on the table. She knows what Sara and Ben did. She goes to their room. She knocks on the door.
+
+"Sara, Ben, open the door. I know you took the juice. That was not nice. You did not ask me. You did not listen to me. You did not permit me to say yes or no. You are in trouble," Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben hear Mom. They feel scared. They know they did something bad. They open the door. They see Mom. She is angry. They say sorry.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were thirsty. We wanted juice. We did not mean to be bad," Sara says.

+
+Mom looks at Sara and Ben. She loves them. But she is still angry. She wants to teach them a lesson.
+
+"I love you, Sara and Ben. But you have to learn to respect me. You have to ask me before you take something. You have to listen to me when I say no. You have to permit me to make decisions. You have to be patient. Juice is not good for you all the time. Water is better. And you have to be quiet. Dad is deaf. He can't hear you. But he can see you. He can see the juice on your faces. He can see the mess in your room. He is not happy either. You have to clean up your room. And you have to go to bed early. No more juice for today. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They hug Mom. They say sorry again.
+
+"Mom, we understand. We will clean up our room. We will go to bed early. We will not take juice without asking. We will listen to you. We will permit you to say yes or no. We will be quiet. We love you, Mom," Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs Sara and Ben. She says she loves them too. She says they can have some juice tomorrow. If they behave.

+Lily and Ben were ashamed. They hung their heads. They did not want to show their pictures. They knew they did something bad.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Lily said. "We wanted to perform a show for you. We wanted to make our pictures more pretty. But we made a mistake. We spilled the ink."
+
+Lily's mom hugged her. She was not angry anymore. She was glad that Lily was honest. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean to make a mess. But next time, please ask me before you use something that is not yours. And be careful with the ink. It is very hard to clean."
+
+Ben's mom hugged him too. She said, "Ben, I'm proud of you for trying to help Lily. You are a good friend. But you also need to be more responsible. You should not take things from the closet without permission. And you should not waste the ink. It is very precious."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry. We will not do it again."
+
+Their moms smiled. They said, "We forgive you. We love you. Now, let's see your show. We are sure it is very nice."

+
+But on the way, they saw a man who was sad. He had a sign that said, "I need money for food." Tom and Lily felt sorry for him. They decided to give him the money instead of buying candy. The man smiled and thanked them. He said, "You are very kind and generous. God bless you."
+
+Tom and Lily felt happy. They had done a good thing. They did not need candy to be happy. They had each other. They hugged and went back home.
+
+But they did not see that the money was fake. It was made of paper and had a sharp edge. The man was a bad man who tricked people. He used the fake money to buy real money from other people. He did not care about anyone but himself.

+"No, you cannot!" Tom says. "This is my half. I snapped it. You have your half. It has a seed. You can plant it and grow a new avocado."
+
+"But I don't want to plant it. I want to eat it!" Mia says. She is angry and sad. She tries to grab Tom's half. Tom pulls it away. They start to fight.
+
+"Stop it!" a voice says. It is Mom. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She takes the avocado halves from them. She puts them in a bag.

+
+Lily felt sorry for what she did. She said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I wanted to play with the spoon, but I know it was wrong. I will give it back and punish for one hour. I love you, mom and dad."

+Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to look at the landscape. They see trees, flowers, birds and hills. They also see a big bell on a tower.
+
+"Let's go and ring the bell!" Tom says. He runs to the tower.
+
+"Wait for me!" Sara says. She follows him.
+
+They climb the stairs to the top of the tower. They see the bell. It is very big and shiny.

+"What are you doing here?" the man says. "You are not allowed to ring the bell. It is only for special days. Go away!"
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They say sorry to the man. They run down the stairs. They go back to the garden.
+
+They are still friends. But they are more careful. They do not ring the bell again.
+Tom and Ann like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a hole. They hear a ring sound from the hole. They want to know what is inside.
+
+They go near the hole and look. They see a cat with a bell on its neck. The cat is wild and angry. It does not like to be in the hole. It hisses and scratches at them.
+
+"Go away, go away!" the cat says. "This is my home. You are bad kids. You make me scared."
+
+Tom and Ann are scared too. They run away from the hole. They find their mom and dad. They tell them about the wild cat.
+
+"Maybe someone put the bell on the cat to catch it," mom says. "That is not nice. The cat needs to be free and happy."
+
+Dad nods. He says he will call the animal people. They will help the cat. They will take off the bell and find a good place for the cat.
+
+Tom and Ann hope the cat will be okay. They say sorry to the cat in their minds. They do not want to make it sad. They want to be kind to animals.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big building with many colors. It is a temple. They want to go inside and look.
+
+They run to the temple and open the door. It is dark and smelly. They see many statues and candles. They hear a voice.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the voice says.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They see a man with a long robe and a hat. He is the priest. He is angry.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see the temple. It is very pretty," Tom says.
+
+The priest looks at them. He sees that they are children. He is not angry anymore. He is kind.
+
+"It is okay, children. The temple is for everyone. But you have to be careful and respectful. This is a holy place. Do you know what that means?" he says.
+
+Tom and Mia shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"It means that this place is special. It is where we pray and thank God. God is the one who made everything. He loves us and helps us. Do you know who God is?" he says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They have heard of God. They have seen pictures of him.
+
+"Yes, we know. He is the big man in the sky. He has a beard and a smile. He is nice," Mia says.
+
+The priest smiles. He is happy.
+
+"That is right, children. He is nice. And he wants us to be nice too. He wants us to love and help each other. He wants us to be happy and good. Do you want that too?" he says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod again. They want that too.
+
+"Yes, we want that too. We want to be nice and good. We want to be happy and help," Tom says.
+
+The priest nods. He is proud.
+
+"Very good, children. You are smart and kind. You are welcome to the temple. But you have to follow some rules. Do you want to learn them?" he says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod again. They want to learn.
+
+"Yes, please. We want to learn. What are the rules?" Mia says.
+
+The priest tells them the rules. He says that they have to be quiet and gentle. They have to be clean and neat. They have to be polite and honest. They have to be thankful and generous.
+
+Tom and Mia listen and remember. They say that they will follow the rules. They say that they are sorry for being noisy and messy. They say that they are grateful for the priest and the temple.
+
+The priest forgives them and blesses them. He says that he is glad to meet them. He says that he hopes to see them again. He says that he will teach them more about God and the temple.
+
+Tom and Mia thank him and hug him. They say that they are happy to meet him. They say that they will come back soon. They say that they will tell their parents and friends about him and the temple.
+
+They leave the temple and go back to the park. They are happy and good. They are dry and clean. They are not smelly anymore. They have learned a lot. They have made a new friend. They have seen a holy place. They have met God.
+Anna and Ben were playing near the creek. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also liked to look for frogs and fish. Sometimes they saw a big turtle with a hard shell.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a shiny stone!" Anna said, holding up a smooth pebble. "It is very pretty. Can I keep it, please?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was happy for his sister. He liked to share with her. He had a stick that he used to poke the mud. He wondered what was hiding under it.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big animal. They turned around and saw a bear. The bear was big and brown and furry. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was looking at them with hungry eyes.
+
+Anna and Ben were very scared. They knew bears were dangerous. They did not want to be eaten. They ran away from the creek as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we saw a bear!" they shouted, bursting into the door. "It was near the creek. It was very serious. We ran away."
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and told them they were brave. They said they were proud of them. They said they should not play near the creek anymore. They said they should stay close to the house. They said they loved them.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They were glad they were safe. They were glad they had each other. They said they loved Mom and Dad too. They said they were sorry for playing near the creek. They said they would not do it again. They said they learned their lesson.
+Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big pond with many ducks. They want to feed the ducks some bread. They run to the pond with a bag of bread.
+
+But when they get to the pond, they see something shiny in the water. It is a rod. A rod is a long stick that you can use to catch fish. Tim and Lily are curious. They want to discover what the rod can do.
+
+They take the rod out of the water. It has a string and a hook at the end. They think it is a toy. They try to swing the rod and make the hook fly in the air. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, the hook lands on a duck's wing. The duck is scared and hurt. It makes a loud noise. Quack, quack, quack! The other ducks are angry and scared too. They make loud noises too. Quack, quack, quack!
+
+Tim and Lily are scared and sorry. They did not mean to hurt the duck. They drop the rod and run to the duck. They try to take the hook off the duck's wing. They say, "Sorry, duck. Sorry, sorry, sorry."
+
+The duck is still loud and angry. It bites Tim's finger. Tim cries. Ouch, ouch, ouch! Lily cries too. She hugs Tim and says, "Sorry, Tim. Sorry, sorry, sorry."
+
+A man comes to the pond. He is the owner of the rod. He is angry and sad. He says, "What are you doing with my rod? You hurt my duck. My duck is my friend. You are bad children. Go away, go away, go away."
+
+Tim and Lily are very sad and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, man. Sorry, sorry, sorry." They run away from the pond. They go back to their mom. They tell her what happened. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, sorry, sorry."
+
+Mom is not angry. She is kind and understanding. She says, "It's okay, Tim and Lily. You made a mistake. You did not know. But you learned something today. You learned that a rod is not a toy. You learned that ducks are not toys. You learned that you have to be careful and gentle with animals. You learned that you have to say sorry when you hurt someone. You are good children. I love you, I love you, I love you."
+
+Tim and Lily hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, thank you, thank you." They feel better. They still love ducks. They still love the pond. But they will never play with a rod again.
+Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They share their toys and snacks. They make a promise to always be nice to each other.

+One day, Sara gets a new bike for her birthday. She is very happy. She wants to show Ben her bike. She calls him on the phone and says, "Come to the park, I have a surprise for you!"
+
+Ben is excited. He runs to the park with his old bike. He sees Sara with her new bike. It is shiny and pink. It has a bell and a basket. Ben thinks it is very pretty. He says, "Wow, Sara, your bike is amazing! Can I try it?"
+
+Sara says, "No, Ben, this is my bike. You have your own bike. You can't touch my bike. Go away!"
+
+Ben is upset. He feels hurt and angry. He says, "But Sara, we are best friends. We share everything. You promised to be nice to me. Why are you mean to me?"
+
+Sara says, "I don't care. This is my bike. I don't want to share it. I don't want to play with you. Go away!"
+
+Ben is very upset. He cries and rides away. He thinks Sara is not his friend anymore. He thinks she broke their promise.
+
+Sara feels bad. She sees Ben crying and riding away. She remembers their promise. She remembers how much fun they have together. She realizes she was mean to Ben. She wants to say sorry. She wants to share her bike. She wants to play with him.
+
+She calls him on the phone and says, "Ben, please come back. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can try my bike. I want to play with you. You are my best friend. Please come back."
+
+Ben hears Sara's voice. He stops crying. He feels happy. He says, "OK, Sara, I'll come back. I'm sorry too. You are my best friend. I want to play with you."
+
+He turns around and rides back to the park. He sees Sara waiting for him with a smile. They hug and say sorry. They share their bikes and play together. They keep their promise to always be nice to each other.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix things in a big bowl. She mixed flour and eggs and milk to make a cake. She mixed salt and pepper and butter to make popcorn. She mixed sugar and lemon and water to make lemonade.
+
+One day, Lily saw her dad working on his computer. He had many papers and pens and books on his desk. He typed and clicked and looked at the screen. Lily was curious. She wanted to help her dad too.
+
+She climbed on a chair and reached for the computer. She saw many colors and shapes and letters on the screen. She pressed some buttons and moved the mouse. She heard some beeps and boops and noises. She thought she was mixing things on the computer.
+
+But her dad was not happy. He saw what Lily was doing and shouted, "Lily, stop! You are messing up my work! You are not mixing, you are deleting and changing and closing!"
+
+Lily was confused. She did not understand what her dad was saying. She did not know what deleting and changing and closing meant. She thought she was helping, not messing. She felt sad and scared.
+
+She started to cry and ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You did not mean to do anything wrong. You were just curious and wanted to learn. But you have to be careful with the computer. It is not a toy. It is a tool that your dad uses for his job. He needs it to do his work. You can help him by leaving it alone."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I won't touch your computer again. Can I help you with something else?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "I'm sorry too, Lily. I did not mean to yell at you. You are a good helper. How about you help me with this puzzle? It has many colors and shapes and letters too. But you can mix them and match them and make a picture."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, dad. I like puzzles. Let's mix and match and make a picture."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a hive. The hive has many bees. The bees make honey.
+
+"Look, Lily, honey!" Tom says. "I am hungry. I want some honey."
+
+"No, Tom, we cannot take the honey. The bees will be angry. They will sting us. It will hurt." Lily says.
+
+"But I am very hungry. And honey is sweet. I have an idea. I will lie on the ground and pretend to sleep. You will shake the hive and run away. The bees will follow you. Then I will get some honey and eat it." Tom says.
+
+"That is a bad idea, Tom. It is not nice to lie and steal. And it is not safe. The bees will find you and sting you. And I will be scared and alone. Please, do not do it." Lily says.
+
+But Tom does not listen to Lily. He lies on the ground and closes his eyes. Lily shakes the hive and runs away. The bees come out and buzz. They see Lily and fly after her. They do not see Tom.
+
+Tom opens his eyes and smiles. He sees the hive on the tree. He stands up and walks to the tree. He reaches for the hive. He thinks he is clever.
+
+But he is not clever. He is silly. The hive is not empty. Some bees are still inside. They hear Tom and smell him. They are angry. They come out and sting Tom. Tom screams and cries. He drops the hive and runs away. He has no honey. He has only pain.
+
+Lily hears Tom and comes back. She sees Tom and feels sorry for him. She helps him and hugs him. She says, "I told you, Tom. It was a bad idea. You should not lie and steal. You should be kind and careful. Next time, listen to me."
+
+Tom says, "I am sorry, Lily. You are right. I was wrong. I will not lie and steal again. I will be kind and careful. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily and Tom go home. They have no honey. But they have each other. They are still hungry. But they are also happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car with a zipper on the back. They could put their dolls and cars and books inside the zipper and take them everywhere.
+
+One day, their mom said she had to send the big red car to their cousin Joe, who lived far away. Joe had no toys and was very sad. Tim and Kim did not want to send their big red car. They were grumpy and said no. They hid the big red car under their bed and did not listen to their mom.
+
+Their mom was sad and angry. She said, "Tim and Kim, you are being selfish and mean. Joe needs the big red car more than you. You have many other toys to play with. Sharing is caring. If you don't send the big red car, you will have no dessert and no TV for a week."
+
+Tim and Kim felt bad. They knew their mom was right. They loved their cousin Joe and wanted him to be happy. They took out the big red car from under their bed and gave it to their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will send the big red car to Joe. We hope he likes it and plays with it a lot."
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I am proud of you, Tim and Kim. You are being kind and generous. Joe will be very happy and grateful. You will also get a surprise in the mail soon. Joe will send you a thank you card and a gift."

+
+Ben also wants to play with the bear. He crawls under the bed and tries to take the bear from Anna. He says, "No, this is my bear. It is perfect. It has a big nose and a warm fur."
+
+Anna and Ben start to pull the bear. They both want the bear. They do not want to share. They make loud noises. They are angry and sad.
+
+Mom hears the noises. She comes to the room. She sees Anna and Ben under the bed. She sees the bear. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? This is not nice. This is not fun."
+
+Anna and Ben stop pulling the bear. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We both like the bear. It is perfect. But we do not know how to share."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I understand. The bear is very cute. But you can both play with it. You can take turns. You can cuddle it. You can read a story to it. You can be friends with it. And you can be friends with each other. That is more fun than fighting."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. You are right. We can share. We can have fun. We can be friends." They crawl out from under the bed. They hug Mom. They hug the bear. They hug each other. They are happy. They have a perfect day.

+
+But when he got there, he saw a big dog running towards him. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. Tom was scared and dropped his trumpet. The dog jumped on it and bit it. Tom heard a crunch and saw his trumpet break. He started to cry.
+

+
+Tom sniffed and nodded. He hugged his trumpet and thanked Anna. He was sad, but he was glad he had a good friend.
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tom. Maybe we can fix your trumpet. Or maybe you can get a new one. You are lucky that the dog didn't hurt you. And you are lucky that you can still sing. Come on, let's go and join the others. We can still have fun."
+
+Tom wiped his tears and smiled. He followed Anna to the band. He sang with his voice and clapped with his hands. He still missed his trumpet, but he was happy. He was lucky to have a friend like Anna.
+Lily was miserable. She did not like her new dress. It was too big and too pink. She wanted to wear her old dress. The one with the flowers and the buttons. But her mom said no. She said they had to go to a party and Lily had to look nice.
+
+Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She did not like what she saw. She felt like a big pink balloon. She wanted to cry. She heard a knock on the door. It was her dad.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Are you ready to go?" he asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She pointed at her dress.
+
+"I don't like it. I want my old dress," she said.
+
+Her dad smiled. He sat down next to her.
+
+"I know, sweetie. But sometimes we have to wear things we don't like. It's only for a little while. And you know what? You look beautiful in any dress. You have a lovely smile and bright eyes. And you are very smart and kind. Those are the things that matter. Not the dress."
+
+Lily looked at her dad. She saw that he was wearing a suit and a tie. She knew he did not like them. He liked to wear jeans and t-shirts. He was wearing them for the party too.
+
+"Are you wearing things you don't like too?" she asked.
+
+Her dad nodded.
+
+"Yes, I am. But I don't mind. Because I get to go with you and mom. And I love you both very much. And I want to have fun with you. And maybe there will be cake and ice cream at the party. That would be nice, right?"
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked cake and ice cream. She liked fun. She loved her dad and mom too. She looked at the mirror again. She saw her dad's face next to hers. He was smiling. She smiled too.
+
+"Okay, dad. Let's go to the party. Maybe it won't be so bad. And maybe I can wear my old dress tomorrow."
+
+Her dad hugged her.
+
+"That sounds like a plan, Lily. Come on, let's go. Mom is waiting for us. And you know what? You are the best daughter in the world. And I am very proud of you."
+
+Lily felt happy. She was not miserable anymore. She took her dad's hand and walked out of the door. She did not care about the dress anymore. She cared about her family. And she was ready to have some fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fought over who got what. Mom and Dad were not happy when they heard them yell and cry.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad gave them a big box. They said it was a gift for them. Lily and Ben opened the box and saw a big puzzle. It had many pieces and colors. It looked fun and hard.
+
+"Wow, this is a smart puzzle!" Lily said. "I want to do it first!"
+
+"No, I want to do it first!" Ben said. "I am smarter than you!"
+
+They started to pull and tug at the puzzle. The pieces fell on the floor. Mom and Dad came and saw the mess.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom said. "This is not how you play with a puzzle. You have to share and work together. This puzzle is for both of you. It is too big and hard for one of you to do alone."
+
+"But I want to do it first!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom and Dad shook their heads. They had an idea.
+
+"How about this?" Dad said. "You can take turns to do the puzzle. Lily can do it today, and Ben can do it tomorrow. And so on, until you finish the puzzle. It will take you a week or more to do it. But if you help each other and be nice, you will have more fun and learn more."
+
+Lily and Ben thought about it. They did not like to wait, but they also wanted to do the puzzle. They looked at each other and nodded.
+
+"OK, we will try it," they said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They helped them pick up the pieces and put them on the table. They showed them how to look for the edges and the colors. They praised them when they found a match.
+
+Lily and Ben started to do the puzzle. They took turns and helped each other. They did not fight or cry. They talked and laughed. They saw the puzzle grow and change. They felt happy and proud.
+
+They learned to settle and share. They learned to be smart and kind. They learned to love the puzzle and each other.

+"Hello, little bird," she said. "I am Lily. I am a veterinarian. I will make you better. Don't be scared. I am your friend."
+
+The bird looked at Lily with its bright eyes. It chirped softly and moved its head. Lily smiled and stroked the bird's feathers. She felt happy and proud. She had helped an animal in need. She was a good veterinarian.
+Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They have a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. He has a long tail and a wet nose. He looks friendly. Sara and Ben want to pet the dog. They ask the dog's owner if they can.
+
+"Sure, you can pet him. His name is Max. He likes children," the owner says. He has a nice voice.
+
+Sara and Ben go near the dog. They touch his fur and his ears. They give him a hug. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He makes a funny sound. Sara and Ben laugh. They think the dog is perfect.
+
+They play with the dog for a while. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They tickle his belly and he rolls over. They tell him stories and he listens. They are very happy.
+
+"Thank you for letting us play with Max. He is a good dog," Sara and Ben say to the owner.
+
+"You're welcome. He likes you too. You are good children," the owner says. He smiles.

+Tom was playing in the garden with his toy car. He liked to make it go fast and make loud noises. He saw a small beetle crawling on the grass. He wanted to catch it and look at it.
+
+"Hello, beetle," he said. "You are very small and shiny. Can I hold you?"
+
+The beetle did not mind. It was not afraid of Tom. It climbed on his finger and tickled him. Tom laughed and showed it to his mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I found a beetle. It is my friend. Can I keep it?"
+
+Mom smiled and shook her head. "No, Tom, you can't keep the beetle. It belongs to the garden. It needs to eat and drink and find other beetles. You can play with it for a little while, but then you have to let it go."
+
+Tom nodded. He understood. He did not want to make the beetle sad. He played with it some more, then gently put it back on the grass.
+
+"Bye, beetle," he said. "Thank you for playing with me. Maybe I will see you again."
+
+The beetle waved its antennae and crawled away. Tom waved back and picked up his toy car. He was happy. He had made a new friend.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. Tom had a big hammer that he liked to bang on the ground. Lily had a soft doll that she liked to hug and dress. They were both very happy.
+
+But then, Tom saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. He ran to Lily and grabbed the doll from her hands. Lily was very sad and angry. She shouted, "No, Tom! That is my doll! Give it back!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He held the doll with one hand and the hammer with the other. He was about to hit the doll with the hammer, when he heard a loud voice.
+
+"Stop, Tom! What are you doing?" It was their dad, who had come to see what was the noise. He saw Tom with the doll and the hammer, and Lily crying. He was not jolly at all. He was very cross.
+
+He took the doll and the hammer from Tom and gave them back to Lily. He said, "Tom, you should not take things from Lily without asking. That is not nice. You should share your toys with your sister, and she will share hers with you. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He felt sorry for making Lily cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Can I play with your doll, please?"
+
+Lily smiled. She was not sad and angry anymore. She said, "Yes, Tom. You can play with my doll, if I can play with your hammer. We can share our toys and have fun together."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other and their dad. They were both very happy again. They played with the doll and the hammer, and shared their other toys too. They were jolly and kind.
+Lila and Ben were playing with matches. They liked to see the fire and the smoke. But they did not know that matches were dangerous. They did not listen to their mom and dad, who told them to never touch matches.
+
+One day, they found a box of matches in the kitchen. They took it to their room and hid under the bed. They lit one match and watched it burn. Then they lit another and another. They did not see the smoke filling the room. They did not hear the fire alarm.
+
+Their mom and dad smelled the smoke and ran to their room. They opened the door and saw the fire under the bed. They were very scared and angry. They grabbed Lila and Ben and took them outside. They called the firemen to put out the fire.
+
+"Why did you play with matches?" their mom asked them. "Don't you know how dangerous they are? You could have burned the house and hurt yourselves and us!"
+
+Lila and Ben did not answer. They were too ashamed and sorry. They cried and hugged their mom and dad. They said they were sorry and they would never play with matches again.
+
+The firemen came and put out the fire. They checked the house and said it was safe to go back. They also talked to Lila and Ben and told them how to be safe with fire. They gave them stickers and hats and told them to be good kids.
+
+Lila and Ben thanked the firemen and said they learned their lesson. They also thanked their mom and dad for saving them. They promised to listen to them and to never play with matches again.
+
+The next day, they went to visit their elderly grandma. She lived in a small house with a big garden. She was very happy to see them and gave them cookies and milk. She also showed them her photo album and told them stories about her life.
+
+Lila and Ben liked to listen to their grandma. They asked her many questions and she answered them with a smile. They learned a lot from her and they felt close to her. They told her they loved her and they gave her a big hug.
+
+They also told her about their fire adventure and how they were sorry and scared. Their grandma listened and nodded. She said she was glad they were okay and that they learned their lesson. She also said she was proud of them for being honest and brave.
+
+She told them a story about when she was a little girl and she also played with matches. She said she also made a fire and got in trouble. She said she also felt sorry and scared. She said she also learned her lesson and never played with matches again.
+
+Lila and Ben were surprised and curious. They asked their grandma how she put out the fire and what happened next. Their grandma smiled and said she would tell them, but only if they promised to never play with matches again.
+
+Lila and Ben promised and crossed their hearts. They leaned in and listened to their grandma's story. They felt happy and safe with her. They realized that playing with matches was not fun, but playing with their grandma was.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play in the yard. They have a big ball and a small bike.

+
+"Hi, we are Lily and Ben. We live next to you. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asks.
+
+The boy and the girl look at Lily and Ben. They laugh. They are rude.
+
+"No, we don't want to play with you. You have a small bike and a big ball. That is silly. Go away!" the boy says.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sad. They turn around and walk back to their yard. They whisper to each other.
+
+"They are not nice. They are mean. We don't like them. We like each other. We have fun with our ball and our bike." Ben says.
+
+"Yes, we do. We are friends. We don't need them. Maybe they will learn to be nice one day. But we don't care. We are happy." Lily says.
+
+They hug and smile. They play with their ball and their bike. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben are playing with their toy soldiers. They pretend they are in a big war and they have to fight the bad guys. They make loud noises and move their soldiers around the floor.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You are dead!" Lila says to Ben.
+
+"No, I am not! You missed me!" Ben says back.
+
+They laugh and keep playing.
+
+But then they hear their mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+"Kids, hurry up! It's time for lunch!" Mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben look at each other. They don't want to stop playing. They want to finish the war.
+
+"Can we play a little more, Mom?" Lila asks.
+
+"No, you can't. You have to eat now. Come on, be flexible. You can play later." Mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben sigh. They know Mom is right. They have to eat to be strong and healthy. They pick up their soldiers and put them in a box.
+
+"OK, Mom. We are coming." Ben says.
+
+They run to the kitchen and give Mom a hug. They sit down and eat their sandwiches and fruit. They tell Mom about their war and how they were brave and smart.

+
+"Come on, Mia, it is fun!" Ben says. He holds Mia's hand and pulls her to the slide.
+
+"No, Ben, it is too high and fast. I do not want to go!" Mia says. She tries to pull her hand back, but Ben is strong.
+
+"Trust me, Mia, it is not scary. I will go with you. We will be safe." Ben says. He smiles and climbs the slide with Mia.
+
+Mia is very scared. She closes her eyes and holds Ben's hand tight. She feels the wind in her hair and the slide under her feet. She hears Ben laugh and shout.
+
+"See, Mia, it is fun!" Ben says.
+
+Mia opens her eyes and sees the end of the slide. She feels Ben's hand let go of hers. She screams and falls on the grass.
+

+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bees. One day, she saw a rose that was very pretty. It was red and soft and smelled good. Lily wanted to pick the rose and give it to her mom.
+
+She reached out her hand and touched the rose. But then she felt a sharp pain. She pulled back her hand and saw a drop of blood. She had touched a thorn. The rose had hurt her. Lily started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Lily cry and came to the garden. She saw Lily's hand and the rose. She hugged Lily and said, "Oh, my poor baby. What happened?"
+
+Lily sobbed, "I wanted to pick the rose for you, but it was mean. It poked me and made me bleed."
+
+Mom kissed Lily's hand and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. The rose didn't mean to hurt you. It has thorns to protect itself from animals that want to eat it. But it also has petals to share its beauty and fragrance. The rose is both kind and fierce. You have to be careful when you touch it."
+
+Lily looked at the rose again. She thought about what mom said. She thought the rose was still pretty, but also scary. She said, "I don't want to pick the rose anymore. I want to leave it alone."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's very wise, Lily. The rose will be glad that you respect it. And I'm glad that you love me. You don't need to give me a rose to show me that. You can give me a hug instead."
+
+Lily hugged mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best too."
+Lily was nervous. She had to sleep in a new room at her grandma's house. She did not like the dark and the strange noises. She wanted her own bed and her own sheet. She always slept with her sheet. It was soft and pink and had stars on it.
+
+She asked her grandma for her sheet. Grandma said she did not have it. She said she forgot to pack it in her bag. Lily was sad and angry. She demanded her sheet. She said she could not sleep without it.
+
+Grandma tried to calm her down. She said she had another sheet for her. It was white and had flowers on it. She said it was also soft and cozy. She said she would read her a story and sing her a song. She said she loved her very much.
+
+Lily looked at the white sheet. She did not like it. It was not her sheet. She did not want a story or a song. She wanted her sheet. She cried and kicked and screamed. She said she wanted to go home.
+
+Grandma hugged her and wiped her tears. She said she was sorry. She said she understood. She said she had a surprise for her. She went to her closet and took out a box. She opened it and showed Lily what was inside.
+
+It was her sheet. It was soft and pink and had stars on it. Grandma said she found it in her car. She said she brought it for her. She said she knew how much she loved it.

+One night, Tom had a dream. He dreamed that he was in a big forest with real dinosaurs. He saw a huge T-rex, a long-necked bronto, a spiky stego and a fast raptor. He was not scared. He wanted to talk to them and be their friend.
+
+He walked up to the T-rex and said, "Hello, I am Tom. I like dinosaurs. You are very big and strong. Can I play with you?"
+
+The T-rex looked at Tom and snorted. He said, "You are very small and weak. You are not a dinosaur. You are a snack. Go away or I will eat you."
+
+Tom was sad and hurt. He ran away from the T-rex and looked for another dinosaur to play with. He saw a bright light in the sky. It was a star. It was shining very brightly. Tom liked the star. He wished he could fly to the star and be happy.
+
+He heard a voice behind him. It was a humble triceratops. He said, "Hello, I am Trix. I like stars. You are very brave and kind. Can I play with you?"
+
+Tom turned around and smiled. He said, "Hello, I am Tom. I like stars too. You are very humble and friendly. Yes, you can play with me."

+
+Ben looked at it and said, "I think it is a whip. You can use it to make the horses go faster."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Let me try." She swung the whip in the air and made a loud noise. The horses did not like the noise. They got scared and ran away.
+
+Ben said, "Stop, Anna, stop! You are making the horses sad. They do not like the whip. They like to be nice and gentle."
+
+Anna felt bad. She did not want to make the horses sad. She said, "I am sorry, Ben. I did not know. I thought the whip was fun."
+
+Ben said, "It is okay, Anna. You did not mean it. Let us put the whip away and find the horses. We can give them a hug and a carrot and say we are sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben put the whip back in the box and went to look for the horses. They found them hiding under the bed. They said, "We are sorry, horses. We love you. We will not use the whip again. Do you want a hug and a carrot?"
+
+The horses came out from under the bed and nodded. They let Anna and Ben hug them and feed them carrots. They neighed happily and licked their faces.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said, "We are happy, too. You are our best friends. We will always be nice and gentle to you."
+Anna was happy. She had a new purse. It was pink and shiny. She wanted to show it to her friend Lily.

+
+Anna opened her purse and took out a small toy cat. It was white and fluffy.
+
+"This is my new toy. Her name is Snowy. She is very soft and cute. I want to introduce her to you and your dolls," Anna said.
+
+Lily's eyes widened. She loved cats.
+
+"Wow, she is fine! Can I hold her?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be gentle. She is fragile," Anna said.
+
+She handed Snowy to Lily, who cuddled her and made purring noises.
+
+"Hello, Snowy. I am Lily. These are my dolls. They are my friends. Do you want to play with us?" Lily said.

+
+One day, Sara wanted to invite her friend Mia to play with her. Mia lived next door and also liked dolls. Sara asked her mom if she could go to Mia's house. Her mom said yes, but she had to be back by lunch.
+
+Sara put Lily in a basket and ran to Mia's door. She knocked and waited. Mia opened the door and smiled. She saw Lily in the basket and said, "Hi, Sara! Hi, Lily! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please! Can I invite you to my tea party?"
+
+Mia said, "Of course! I love tea parties! Can I bring my doll, Anna? She has a blue dress and a hat."

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big tree with red fruits on it. They wanted to eat some of the fruits, but they were too high for them to reach.
+
+"Let's climb the tree and pick some fruits," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+They took off their shoes and socks and started to climb the tree. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the branches. They saw some birds and squirrels in the tree. They also saw some hairy spiders and bugs. They did not like them.
+
+"Look, there are some fruits over there," Tom said, pointing to a branch.
+
+He moved closer to the branch and reached for a fruit. But as he did, he felt something tickle his hand. He looked and saw a hairy spider crawling on his hand. He screamed and let go of the branch. He fell down to the ground.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Lily shouted.
+
+She climbed down the tree as fast as she could. She ran to Tom and hugged him. He was crying and shaking.
+
+"I'm OK, I'm OK," he said. "But I don't like hairy spiders. They are scary."
+
+"Me neither," Lily said. "Let's go home and tell Mom. Maybe she can give us some fruits from the kitchen."
+
+They put on their shoes and socks and ran home. They told Mom what happened. She gave them some hugs and kisses and some fruits. They ate the fruits and felt better. They decided not to climb the tree again. They liked to play outside, but not with hairy spiders.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend they are in the jungle. They make animal noises and jump on the sofa.
+
+"Look, I am a monkey!" Tom says. He swings from a pillow.
+
+"I am a lion!" Lily says. She roars and chases Tom.
+
+They have fun in the jungle. But then they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She is angry.
+
+"Stop jumping on the sofa!" Mom says. "You will break it! And you will hurt yourself!"
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They stop playing.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say.
+
+Mom is not happy. She tells them to play something else.
+
+"I recommend you play with your blocks," she says. "They are safe and quiet. And you can build a jungle with them."
+
+Tom and Lily think. They like blocks. They can make trees and animals and houses.
+
+"OK, Mom," they say. "We will play with blocks."
+
+They go to their room. They get their blocks. They start to build a jungle.
+
+They are happy again. They play pretend. But they do not jump on the sofa. They do not make loud noises. They listen to Mom. She knows what is best.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They named him Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Sara said. "You are our friend."
+
+"Yes, you are!" Ben said. "We will play with you every day."
+
+But the sun was shining very bright. It was warm and made the snow melt. Frosty started to get smaller and smaller. His hat and scarf fell off. His nose and eyes dropped to the ground.
+
+"Oh no, Frosty!" Sara cried. "You are going away!"
+
+"Please don't go, Frosty!" Ben said. "We love you!"
+
+Frosty smiled at them. He was not sad. He was happy to have met them.
+
+"Don't cry, Sara and Ben," he said. "You are very good children. I had fun with you. But I have to go now. The sun is too fierce for me. Maybe I will come back another day, when it is cold again. Goodbye, Sara and Ben. Thank you for being my friends."
+
+Sara and Ben hugged Frosty. They said goodbye to him. They watched him melt until there was nothing left of him but a puddle of water. They felt sad, but they also felt glad. They knew that Frosty was a special snowman, and that they would always remember him.
+Ben and Mia love to play in the backyard. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the grill. They pretend to make food for their family and friends. They use leaves, sticks, rocks and mud as ingredients.
+
+One day, they decide to make a huge cake on the grill. They pile up all the things they can find and cover them with mud. They turn on the grill and wait for the cake to bake.
+
+"Wow, our cake is so big!" Mia says. "It will be yummy!"
+
+"I hope so," Ben says. "But how will we cut it?"
+
+They look around for something to use as a knife. They see a big stick that looks sharp. Ben picks it up and tries to cut the cake.
+
+But the stick is too weak. It breaks in half when it hits the hard mud. The cake falls off the grill and makes a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Mia say. "Our cake is ruined!"
+
+They start to cry. They hear their mom coming outside.
+
+"What's going on here?" she asks. "What did you do?"
+
+"We tried to make a huge cake on the grill," Mia says. "But it didn't work."
+
+Mom looks at the grill, the stick, the mud and the leaves. She smiles.
+
+"That's very creative," she says. "But maybe next time, you can use something else to make a cake. Like flour, eggs and sugar."
+
+She hugs them and wipes their tears.
+
+"Come on, let's go inside and have some real cake," she says. "I made one for you in the oven."
+
+Ben and Mia cheer up. They follow their mom inside. They are happy to have cake, but they still like their grill. They think of what else they can make on it tomorrow.

+"Look, a cauliflower!" Tim says. "Let's pick it and eat it."
+
+"No, Tim, no!" Sue says. "Cauliflower is bad. It smells bad and tastes bad. I don't like it."
+
+Tim does not listen to Sue. He runs to the cauliflower and pulls it out of the ground. He holds it in his hands and smiles.
+
+"Yum, yum, cauliflower!" he says. "I will eat it all by myself."
+
+Sue is angry. She does not want Tim to eat the bad cauliflower. She runs after him and tries to take it from him. They fight over the cauliflower. They pull and push and shout.
+
+"Give me the cauliflower!" Tim says.
+
+"Let go of the cauliflower!" Sue says.
+
+They are so busy fighting that they do not see their mom coming. She sees them and is not happy. She takes the cauliflower from them and puts it in a basket.
+
+"Stop fighting, Tim and Sue!" she says. "You are both naughty. You should not pick the cauliflower without asking. And you should not kick each other. Kicking is bad. It hurts."
+
+Tim and Sue feel sorry. They say sorry to their mom and to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+"Can we have a snack, mom?" Tim says.
+

+
+One day, Anna went to the park with her dad and her kite. She saw a boy with a big kite that looked like a dragon. The boy said, "My kite is the best. It can fly higher and faster than yours. Your kite is too humble and plain."

+Anna felt sad. She liked her kite. She said, "My kite is humble, but it is also nice. It can soar with the wind and make me happy. Can we be friends and fly our kites together?"
+
+The boy looked at Anna and her kite. He saw that her kite was bright and cheerful. He felt sorry for being mean. He said, "I'm sorry. You are right. Your kite is nice. It doesn't matter how big or fancy our kites are. What matters is that we have fun. Can we be friends and fly our kites together?"
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Yes, we can be friends and fly our kites together. Maybe we can even make a new kite with a cross and a dragon."

+
+"Can I see your cards?" Ben asked Lila.
+
+"No, you can't. That's cheating!" Lila said.
+
+"But I want to win!" Ben said.
+
+"You have to be honest, Ben. Cheating is bad. You have to try your best and hope for luck," Lila said.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He knew Lila was right. He wanted to be a good friend and a good player. He said sorry to Lila and put his cards down.
+

+Lily liked to look for bugs in the garden. She had a jar with holes in the lid to keep them in. She wanted to find a beetle, because they had shiny shells and many legs.
+
+One day, she saw a big black beetle crawling on a leaf. She was very alert and ran to catch it. She put it in her jar and closed the lid. She was happy and showed it to her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, I found a beetle!" she said.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice beetle, Lily. But you know, bugs need air and food and water, just like us. They don't like to be in jars for too long. Maybe you should let it go soon," her mom said.
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked her beetle, but she didn't want it to be sad or sick. She decided to let it go after she showed it to her dad.
+
+She went to find her dad, who was working in the garage. She showed him her beetle and he smiled.
+
+"That's a cool beetle, Lily. What are you going to do with it?" he asked.
+
+"I'm going to let it go, dad. Mom said bugs need air and food and water, and they don't like jars," she said.
+
+"That's very kind of you, Lily. Do you want me to help you unlock the jar?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please, dad. It's hard to open," she said.
+
+He helped her unlock the jar and she took the lid off. The beetle crawled out and flew away. Lily waved goodbye to it.
+
+"Bye, beetle. Thank you for letting me see you. Have a good day," she said.
+
+She felt a little sad, but also happy that she did the right thing. She hugged her dad and went back to the garden to look for more bugs.
+Lily and Ben are playing with scissors and paper. They want to make shapes and animals. Lily cuts a circle and says, "Look, I made a sun!" Ben cuts a triangle and says, "Look, I made a hat!" They are having fun.
+
+But then, Ben cuts too fast and too close to his ear. He feels a sharp pain and sees red on the scissors. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow! I cut my ear!" Lily hears him and runs to him. She sees his ear bleeding and says, "Oh no, Ben! You need a band-aid!"
+
+Lily is helpful. She runs to the bathroom and gets a band-aid. She comes back and puts it on Ben's ear. She says, "There, there, Ben. It will be okay. The band-aid will stop the blood and make it better." Ben stops crying and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."

+Lily liked to ride her bike. She had a red bike with two big wheels and a small wheel in the back. She could pedal fast and go far. But today, she was troubled. She saw a big hill in front of her. She was scared of the hill. She did not want to go up or down.
+
+She stopped her bike and looked at the hill. She heard a voice behind her. It was her friend Ben. He had a blue bike with no small wheel. He could ride on two wheels. He was not scared of the hill.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill. It's fun. You can do it. Just pedal hard and don't stop." Ben said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to go up the hill. She wanted to go back to the flat road. She tried to turn her bike around. But Ben grabbed her handle. He pulled her bike towards the hill.
+
+"Please, Ben, let me go. I don't want to go up the hill. I'm scared. It's too high. It's too steep. I might fall." Lily said.
+
+She tried to resist. She pushed Ben's hand away. She pulled her bike back. But Ben was stronger. He kept pulling her bike towards the hill.
+
+"Lily, don't be scared. It's not too high. It's not too steep. You won't fall. I'll help you. I'll go with you. Trust me. It'll be fun." Ben said.
+
+He smiled at her. He looked kind. He looked brave. He looked like a good friend. Lily looked at him. She looked at the hill. She felt a little less scared. She felt a little more curious. She felt a little more brave.
+
+She nodded at Ben. She let him pull her bike towards the hill. She put her feet on the pedals. She pedaled hard. She did not stop. She followed Ben up the hill. She felt the wind in her hair.

+
+Mom said, "The fire is here because something went wrong. Maybe someone was not careful or maybe there was a big boom. I don't know. But the fire is very dangerous. It can burn things and make them dead. That's why we have to go away from it. We have to be safe."

+"Ah, that was good," Lily said.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mom. She was angry.
+
+"Lily! Ben! What have you done? That was not juice, that was Dad's medicine! He needs it to stay strong. Now he will be weak and sick!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt scared. They did not know it was medicine. They thought it was juice. They did not want to make Dad weak and sick.
+

+
+The lady was confused too. She did not think the cat was a toy. She thought the cat was a real animal. She wanted to be kind to the cat.
+
+"No, no, dog. The cat is not a toy. The cat is a real cat. The cat is scared of you. You should not chase the cat. You should be gentle with the cat. Maybe the cat will be your friend too," the lady said.
+
+The dog tilted his head. He did not understand the lady. He thought the lady was silly. He wanted to have fun. He barked and ran towards the cat.

+Lily looked around and saw a long coat that was blue like the sky. She liked it and wanted to wear it. She reached for it, but it was too high for her. She pulled and pulled, but the coat did not come down. Instead, it made the hanger fall off the rod. The hanger hit Sara's head and made her cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara said. "That hurt!"
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lily said. "I didn't mean to do that!"
+
+Sara rubbed her head and felt a bump. She was sad and angry. She did not want to play with Lily anymore. She took off the velvet dress and the wide hat and threw them on the floor. She said to Lily, "Go away! You are not my friend!"
+
+Lily felt bad and scared. She did not want to lose Sara's friendship. She said to Sara, "Please don't be mad at me. I was just trying to have fun. I like you and your clothes. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sara looked at Lily and saw that she was sorry. She remembered that Lily was her best friend and that they always had fun together. She felt sorry for being mean to her. She said to Lily, "OK, I forgive you. But next time, be more careful. And help me hang the clothes back in the closet."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said to Sara, "Thank you. You are a good friend. And you look like a princess."

+
+One day, he saw a sock in the pool. It was blue and wet. He wondered who left it there. He picked it up and looked at it. He had an idea.
+
+He went to his friend Lily and said, "Look what I found. It is a sock. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Lily looked at the sock and said, "What can we do with a sock? It is not a toy."
+
+Ben said, "We can be creative. We can make it into a puppet. We can put it on our hand and make it talk. We can make up a story."
+
+Lily said, "That sounds fun. Let me try." She put the sock on her hand and made it say, "Hello, I am a sock. I like to swim in the pool. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. I am Ben. This is Lily. We like to swim too."
+
+They played with the sock puppet and made up more stories. They had fun with their creative sock. They forgot about the swim suit and the goggles. They only needed the sock.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran up the stairs and looked for a good spot. He saw a door that said "attic". He opened it and went inside. It was dark and dusty and full of old things. He found a big box and hid behind it.
+
+Lily counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked in every room, but she could not find Tom. She heard a noise from upstairs. She followed it and saw the door that said "attic". She opened it and called, "Tom, are you in here?"
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice and wanted to scare her. He jumped out from behind the box and yelled, "Boo!" But he tripped over a cord and fell down. He hit his head on a lamp and it broke. He felt a sharp pain and started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She saw blood on his head and glass on the floor. She was scared and did not know what to do. She felt helpless. She hugged Tom and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll get help."
+
+She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was stuck. She pushed and pulled, but it did not move. She banged on it and shouted, "Help! Help! We're trapped in the attic!"
+
+She hoped someone would hear them and come to save them. She went back to Tom and held his hand. She spoke to him in a soft voice and tried to make him feel better. She said, "It's okay, Tom. We'll be out soon. You're brave and strong. I love you, brother."
+Sara liked to draw and write in her diary. She had many creative ideas and stories in her diary. She used different colors and stickers to make her diary pretty. She hid her diary under her bed, because she did not want anyone to see it.
+
+One day, Sara smelled something bad in her room. She saw smoke coming from under her bed. She was scared and ran to get her mom. "Mom, mom, there is a fire in my room!" she cried.
+
+Mom followed Sara to her room and saw the fire. She quickly got a bucket of water and poured it on the fire. She put out the fire and looked at what was burning. It was Sara's diary. Mom was sad and angry. "Sara, what happened? How did your diary catch fire?" she asked.
+
+Sara did not know how to answer. She remembered that she had played with a lighter that she found in the kitchen. She wanted to see what would happen if she burned a page of her diary. She thought it would be fun and cool. But she did not know that fire was dangerous and could spread quickly. She was sorry and ashamed. She loved her diary and did not want to lose it.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was playing with a lighter and I burned my diary. I did not mean to. I did not know it would make a big fire. I was just curious. Please don't be mad at me. Please forgive me." Sara said.
+
+Mom hugged Sara and said, "Sara, I'm glad you are safe and you told me the truth. But you have to promise me that you will never play with fire again. Fire can hurt you and others and destroy things. Fire is not a toy. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I promise I will never play with fire again. I'm sorry I burned my diary. It was my favorite thing. Can I get a new one?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Sara, you can get a new diary. But you have to be more careful and responsible with your things. And you have to be more creative with your words and drawings, not with fire. OK?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's clean up this mess and go get a new diary."

+
+"Excuse me, sir," she said to the truck driver. "I'm sorry, but my children accidentally broke one of your bottles of juice. They were curious and did not know better. Can we pay you for the damage?"
+
+The truck driver looked at the mom and the children. He saw their sorry faces. He was not angry. He was kind. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am. It's okay. Accidents happen. You don't have to pay me anything. In fact, why don't you take a bottle of juice for each of your children? They look thirsty. It's very sweet and refreshing."
+
+The mom thanked the truck driver. She took two bottles of juice and gave them to Tim and Jen. They thanked the truck driver too. They opened the bottles and drank the juice. It was sweet and delicious. They felt happy and relieved.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned not to touch things that did not belong to them. They learned to be careful and respectful. They learned to be grateful and polite. They hugged their mom and the truck driver. They went back to playing in the park. They had a good day.
+Anna and Ben were going on a trip with their mum and dad. They were very excited to see their grandma and grandpa, who lived far away. They packed their bags and toys and went to the big place where the aeroplanes were.
+
+The aeroplane they had to go on was blue and white, and had a big number on its side. It looked shiny and fast. Anna and Ben wanted to sit by the window and see the clouds and the birds. They followed their mum and dad to the gate, where they showed their tickets to a lady.
+
+But then, the lady said something that made them sad. She said that the aeroplane had a problem and they had to wait for another one. She said that the other one was not as reliable as the blue and white one, and it might take longer to get to their grandma and grandpa.
+
+Anna and Ben did not like this. They wanted to go on the blue and white aeroplane, and they wanted to see their grandma and grandpa soon. They started to complain to their mum and dad.
+
+"Why can't we go on the blue and white aeroplane?" Anna asked.
+
+"It's broken, sweetie. We have to wait for another one," mum said.
+
+"But the other one is not good. It's slow and old," Ben said.
+
+"It's not that bad, honey. It will still take us to our grandma and grandpa," dad said.
+
+"But we want to go now. We don't want to wait. We're bored and hungry and tired," Anna and Ben said together.
+
+Mum and dad tried to calm them down. They gave them some snacks and water, and some books and crayons. They told them stories and jokes, and played games with them. They said that they were sorry for the delay, and that they hoped the other aeroplane would come soon.
+
+Anna and Ben tried to be patient and have fun, but they still wished they could go on the blue and white aeroplane. They hoped that their grandma and grandpa would not be worried or angry. They hoped that the other aeroplane would be safe and fast. They hoped that they would have a good trip, after all.
+Lily liked to play with her robot. It was a big toy that could talk and move. It had a red button on its chest. When Lily pressed the button, the robot would ask her a question. Lily had to answer the question to make the robot happy.

+
+The robot said, "No, oil is food for me. I am a robot. I need oil to work. You are a human. You need cake to grow. We are different, but we can be friends." Lily felt uncomfortable. She did not like oil. She did not want to share her cake with the robot. She said, "No, thank you. I do not want to be friends with you. You are weird."
+
+The robot said, "Oh. I am sorry. I did not mean to make you unhappy. I just wanted to talk to you. Please do not be mad at me. I am lonely." Lily felt sorry for the robot. It sounded sad. She said, "OK. I am not mad at you. You are not weird. You are just different. I can be your friend, but I will not give you my cake. You can have some water instead."
+
+The robot said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I will have some water. Water is good for me too. Can I ask you more questions?" Lily said, "Yes, you can. But only if I can ask you some too. I want to learn more about you." The robot said, "OK. That sounds fun. Let us ask and answer each other. Maybe we will find something we both like." Lily smiled and pressed the button. The robot smiled and said, "What is your favorite game?" Lily said, "Hide and seek. Do you want to play with me?" The robot said, "Yes, I do. How do we play?" Lily said, "I will show you. Come on, follow me." Lily and the robot ran to the garden. They played hide and seek and had a lot of fun. They became good friends.

+Lily did not like vegetables. She thought they were yucky and green and hard. She only wanted to eat cheese and bread and cake. Her mom was sad and angry. She wanted Lily to be healthy and strong.
+
+One day, mom made a big salad for lunch. She put many vegetables in it: lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber, and corn. She also put some cheese and bread on the side. She called Lily to the table and said, "Lily, come and eat your lunch. It is good for you."
+
+Lily came to the table and looked at the salad. She made a face and said, "No, I don't want to eat that. I only want cheese and bread and cake."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you have to eat some vegetables. They have vitamins and minerals that help you grow and learn. They are also tasty and crunchy. Why don't you try one and see?"
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to try. I know they are yucky and green and hard. I am not hungry."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you are being stubborn. You have to eat something or you will be hungry later. How about this? If you touch one vegetable with your tongue, you can have a piece of cake after lunch. Just touch it, you don't have to bite it."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked cake very much. She looked at the salad and saw a small piece of corn. She liked corn. It was yellow and sweet and soft. She decided to touch it with her tongue. She reached out her hand and picked up the corn. She brought it to her mouth and touched it with her tongue. It was not yucky. It was yummy. She liked it.

+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have cake now. But first, why don't you try another vegetable? Maybe you will like it too."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will try another vegetable. Maybe I will like it too." She looked at the salad and saw a small piece of carrot. She picked it up and touched it with her tongue. It was not hard. It was crunchy. She liked it. She said, "Mom, I like carrot. It is crunchy."

+Mom said, "I'm glad you like carrot. It is good for your eyes and your skin. Do you want to try another vegetable?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want to try another vegetable. Maybe I will like it too." She looked at the salad and saw a small piece of tomato. She picked it up and touched it with her tongue. It was not green. It was red and juicy. She liked it. She said, "Mom, I like tomato. It is juicy."
+
+Mom said, "I'm happy you like tomato. It is good for your heart and your blood. Do you want to try another vegetable?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want to try another vegetable. Maybe I will like it too." She looked at the salad and saw a small piece of cucumber. She picked it up and touched it with her tongue.

+
+They ask their mom, "Mom, what happened to our clay things? Why are they hard and dry?"
+
+Mom says, "Clay gets hard and dry when it is in the air for a long time. It is called drying. It is what clay does. You can still keep your clay things. They are now like sculptures. You can paint them or decorate them if you want."

+The dog saw the chain in Lila's hand. It wanted to play with it. It jumped and tried to grab it. Lila and Ben screamed and ran away. They dropped the chain and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+The dog picked up the chain and ran after them. It thought they were playing a game. It wanted to surprise them and make them happy. It did not know they were afraid.
+
+Lila and Ben reached their mom and hugged her. They told her about the dog and the chain. Their mom looked and saw the dog. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids. That is not a strange dog. That is Rover, our neighbor's dog. He is very friendly and playful. He just wanted to say hello and share his toy with you. He likes chains. He thinks they are fun."
+
+Lila and Ben looked at the dog again. They saw that he was not angry or mean. He was wagging his tail and smiling. He dropped the chain and licked their faces. He was not a scary dog. He was a nice dog.

+Lily was a chubby cat who liked to sleep and eat. She lived in a warm house with a kind girl who gave her milk and cuddles. Lily was happy and felt that she belonged there.
+
+One day, Lily saw a bird outside the window. It was winter and the bird was cold and hungry. Lily felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help. She asked the girl to open the window and let the bird in.
+
+"Please, can we let the bird in?" Lily said. "It is winter and he has no home."
+
+The girl nodded and opened the window. The bird flew in and landed on Lily's head. Lily did not mind. She purred and licked the bird's feathers.
+
+"Thank you, cat," the bird said. "You are very nice and warm. Can I stay with you?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. You can be my friend and we can share my milk and cuddles. You belong here too."
+
+The girl was happy to see Lily and the bird get along. She gave them both some seeds and a bowl of milk. She hugged them and said, "You are both very sweet and chubby. I love you both."
+Lila and Tom like to play with boats. They have a big tub of water in the garden and they make boats from paper, wood and plastic. They give their boats names and pretend they are sailors.
+
+One day, they make a new boat from a milk carton and some sticks. They call it Porty, because it has a port on one side. They put Porty in the water and watch it float. "Bye bye, Porty!" they say. "Have a good trip!"
+
+But Porty does not go far. It spins around and around in the water and comes back to them. "Hello, Porty!" they say. "Why did you return so soon?"
+
+Porty does not answer, because it is a boat and boats cannot talk. But Lila and Tom think it is silly and funny. They laugh and clap their hands. They try to push Porty away, but it keeps coming back.
+
+"Porty likes us!" Lila says. "It does not want to leave us!"
+
+"Maybe Porty is lonely!" Tom says. "Maybe it needs a friend!"
+
+They look around and see another milk carton in the bin. They get it and make another boat. They call it Starry, because it has a star on one side. They put Starry in the water and hope it will be Porty's friend.
+
+But Starry does not like Porty. It sails away from Porty and does not come back. Porty tries to follow Starry, but Starry is faster and smarter. Porty is sad and lonely.
+
+Lila and Tom feel sorry for Porty. They take it out of the water and hug it. "Don't worry, Porty!" they say. "We are your friends! We love you!"
+
+They put Porty back in the water and play with it. They make it go fast and slow, left and right, up and down. They sing songs and tell stories to Porty. Porty is happy and silly. It does not need Starry. It has Lila and Tom.
+Tim did not like to clean his room. He liked to play with his toys and books and leave them on the floor. He did not care if his room was messy. He thought it was fun.
+
+But his mom did not think so. She told him many times to clean his room. She said it was not good to have a dirty room. She said he could lose his toys or hurt himself. She said he had to learn to be tidy and responsible.

+He looked at his mom and said, "But mom, I don't like to clean. It's boring and hard. Can't I do it later?"
+
+His mom shook her head and said, "No, Tim, you have to do it now. Cleaning is important and good for you. You have to obey me and respect our house. Now stop talking and start cleaning. And don't make me come back here again."

+Lily and Sam feel sorry. They did not mean to make trouble. They help Mom and the librarian catch the cat. They use a box and a blanket. They are careful not to hurt the cat. They take it outside and let it go.
+
+They say, "Bye, cat. We are sorry we chased you. We hope you find a nice home."
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to listen to me and the librarian. You have to be quiet and not run in the library. And you have to be careful with wild animals. They are not like pets. They are not used to people and they can be dangerous."
+
+Lily and Sam nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will be good in the library. And we will be nice to wild animals. But can we still look at the books and pictures?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Of course. Let's go back inside and find some books and pictures. Maybe we can find some about cats and other wild animals. And maybe we can read them together."
+
+Lily and Sam are happy. They love the library and they love Mom. They hold Mom's hand and go back inside. They say, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, librarian. We are sorry for the mess. We love the library."
+Lily was a normal girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a car and a train. She loved them all, but her favorite was the train. She liked to make it go fast on the tracks and make noises like "choo-choo".
+
+One day, she was playing with her train when it broke. The front part came off and the wheels fell off. Lily was very sad and cried. She ran to her mom and showed her the broken train.
+
+"Mom, mom, my train is broken! Can you fix it?" she asked.
+
+Mom looked at the train and hugged Lily. "Don't worry, sweetie, I can repair it. I just need some glue and some tape. Let's go to the kitchen and find them."
+
+Mom and Lily went to the kitchen and found the glue and the tape. Mom put some glue on the front part and stuck it back to the train. Then she wrapped some tape around the wheels and put them back on the train. She gave the train to Lily and said, "There, it's good as new. Now you can play with it again."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Mom. "Thank you, Mom, you are the best! I love you and I love my train!" she said.
+
+She ran back to her room and played with her train. She made it go fast on the tracks and made noises like "choo-choo". She was very happy and normal.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the snow. She had a big red coat, a warm hat and gloves, and boots that made crunch sounds when she walked. She liked to make snowballs, snowmen, and snow angels with her friends.
+
+One day, she saw a big hill covered with snow. She wanted to slide down the hill and have fun. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes, but be careful. Lily ran to the hill with her sled. She put her sled on the snow and climbed on. She was ready to go.
+
+But then she saw something shiny on the snow. It was a patch of ice. It looked like a mirror. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was on the ice. She leaned over the edge of her sled and reached out her hand. She touched the ice. It was very cold and slippery. She felt a tingle in her fingers.
+
+"Wow, this is icy!" she said out loud.
+
+But then she lost her balance. She slid off her sled and onto the ice. She started to slide down the hill very fast. She was scared. She tried to stop, but she couldn't. She screamed for help.
+
+Her mom heard her scream. She ran to the hill and saw Lily sliding down. She was worried. She grabbed another sled and followed Lily. She caught up with her and grabbed her hand. She pulled her onto her sled and hugged her.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" she asked.
+
+Lily was shaking and crying. She was glad her mom was there. She hugged her back.
+
+"I'm okay, mom. I'm sorry. I was leaning over the ice and I fell. It was so icy and fast. I was scared," she said.
+
+Her mom kissed her cheek and rubbed her back.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm here. You're safe. Next time, don't lean over the ice. It's dangerous. Just stay on your sled and have fun. Okay?" she said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you," she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "That sounds good, mom. Let's go."
+
+They got off the hill and walked home, holding hands. Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned to be careful with the ice and to listen to her mom. She also learned that her mom loved her very much and would always help her. She was happy.
+Tom was miserable. He did not like school. He did not like the teacher. He did not like the other kids. He wanted to go home and play with his toys.
+
+One day, he had to sit at a desk that was not his. It was in the corner, away from the window. He did not like the desk. It was old and dirty. He looked inside the desk. He saw a book. He opened the book. He saw pictures. He saw words. He saw a story.
+
+He started to read the story. It was about a boy who went on an adventure. He met a dragon, a fairy, a pirate, and a king. He had fun. He learned new things. He made friends. He was happy.
+
+Tom forgot that he was at school. He forgot that he was miserable. He was in the story. He smiled.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" the teacher asked. She came to the desk. She saw the book. She took the book. She closed the book.
+
+"You are not supposed to read this book. This book is too hard for you. This book is for older kids. You have to do your work. Give me the book." She said.
+
+Tom felt sad. He felt angry. He wanted the book. He wanted the story. He did not want to do his work. He did not want to give the book.
+
+"Please, can I have the book?" he asked. "Please, can I read the story?"
+
+"No, you can't. You have to do your work. You have to learn. You have to listen. You have to obey. Now, give me the book." She said.
+
+Tom did not give the book. He held the book. He hugged the book. He cried.
+
+The teacher was mad. She pulled the book. She yelled at Tom. She sent him to the principal. She did not understand.
+
+Tom did not understand. He did not understand why he could not read the book. He did not understand why he could not have the story. He did not understand why he had to be miserable. He did not understand why he had to go to school.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys on the long table in the living room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight.
+
+One day, Lily has a new doll. She puts it on the table and says, "This is my doll. Her name is Rose. She is pretty and soft. You can't touch her."
+
+Ben wants to see the doll. He goes to the table and says, "Can I see your doll? Can I hold her? Please?"
+
+Lily shakes her head and says, "No, you can't. This is my doll. Her name is Rose. She is pretty and soft. You can't touch her." She repeats the same words.
+
+Ben gets angry. He says, "You are mean. You always say the same thing. You never share. I don't like you." He repeats the same words.
+
+Lily and Ben start to yell at each other. They repeat the same words over and over. They don't listen to each other.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room and sees the twins. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you shouting? Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+Lily and Ben stop yelling. They look at Mom. They don't know what to say.
+
+Mom says, "Lily, it is nice to have a new doll, but you should also let your brother see it. Maybe he can play with it for a little while. Sharing is caring."
+
+Mom says, "Ben, it is not nice to call your sister mean. Maybe she is afraid that you will break her doll. You should ask her nicely and wait for your turn. Talking is better than fighting."
+
+Lily and Ben think about what Mom says. They feel sorry for being rude. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's OK. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, why don't you play together with the doll and your other toys? You can have fun and learn from each other."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They hug Mom and then hug each other. They go to the table and play with the doll and their other toys. They share, they talk, they laugh. They repeat the same words, but this time they are happy words.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the farm with their toy animals. They had a pig, a cow, a sheep and a horse. They liked to make noises and pretend they were the animals.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wondered what was on the other side. They decided to go and look. They took their pig with them, because he was their favorite.
+
+They crawled through the hole and found a big forest. It was dark and green and full of trees. They heard strange sounds and saw mysterious shadows. They felt scared and excited.
+
+"Wow, this is a new place!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can find some friends here," Lily said.
+
+They walked deeper into the forest, holding their pig. They did not see the farmer looking for them.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a big wolf. He had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. He looked hungry and angry. He saw them and growled.
+
+"Run!" Ben shouted.
+
+They turned around and ran back to the hole. The wolf chased them. He was fast and strong.
+
+They reached the hole and crawled through. The pig was too big to fit. He was stuck. The wolf was getting closer.
+
+"Help!" the pig squealed.
+
+Lily and Ben pulled the pig with all their might. They managed to free him. They hugged him and ran to the farm. The wolf could not escape. He was trapped in the fence.
+
+They found the farmer and told him what happened. He was glad they were safe. He fixed the fence and chased the wolf away.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never went to the forest again. They played with their pig and their other animals in the farm. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket of grapes on a bench. They were hungry and wanted some grapes.
+
+"Can we have some grapes?" Lila asked the lady who was sitting on the bench.
+
+"Sure, you can have some grapes. But be careful, they have seeds inside. You have to spit them out," the lady said.
+
+"Thank you, lady. You are very nice," Ben said.
+
+Lila and Ben took some grapes and started to eat them. They were sweet and juicy. They spat out the seeds on the grass.
+
+"Yum, these grapes are good," Lila said.
+
+"Yes, they are. But look, there is a bee. It wants some grapes too," Ben said.
+
+They saw a yellow and black bee flying around the basket. It landed on a grape and tried to bite it.
+
+"Ouch, the bee bit me!" the lady shouted. She jumped up and ran away.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They dropped their grapes and ran away too.
+
+They hid behind a tree and watched the bee. It was still biting the grapes.
+
+"Bad bee. Go away. Leave the grapes alone," Lila said.
+
+"Yes, go away. The grapes are for us and the lady," Ben said.
+
+But the bee did not listen. It kept biting the grapes until it was full. Then it flew away.
+
+Lila and Ben came out from behind the tree. They saw the basket of grapes. It was still half full.
+
+"Maybe we can have some more grapes," Lila said.
+
+"Maybe. But we have to be quick. The bee might come back," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the basket and grabbed some more grapes. They ate them fast and spat out the seeds.
+
+They were grateful for the grapes. They were grateful for the lady. They were not grateful for the bee.
+Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They want to design a cool tower with many colors and shapes. They take turns to put blocks on top of each other. They make the tower very tall and wide.

+Sara likes to collect shells on the beach. She has a big bucket and a small shovel. She digs and digs and finds many shells. Some are big and some are small. Some are shiny and some are dull. Sara loves all the shells.
+
+One day, Sara sees a very ugly shell. It is brown and bumpy and has holes. Sara does not like the ugly shell. She says, "Yuck! I don't want this shell. It is ugly and dirty. I want pretty shells." She throws the ugly shell away.
+
+But then, a crab comes out of the sand. The crab is angry. He says, "Hey! That is my shell. You can't throw it away. It is my home. It is not ugly and dirty. It is cozy and warm. I like my shell."
+
+Sara is surprised. She says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was your shell. I thought it was just a shell. I didn't mean to make you angry. You can have your shell back."
+
+The crab is happy. He says, "Thank you. You are very nice. You can have some of my cream. It is sweet and yummy. I found it in a can. Do you like cream?"

+
+"Stop!" the woman says. "That dog is not yours! He is mine!"
+
+The woman shows the man a paper. The paper has a picture of the dog and a name. The name is Max.
+
+"Max is my dog!" the woman says. "He escaped from my car when I was at the park. He is not bad. He is just scared. He is not going to jail. He is going home with me!"
+
+The man looks at the paper. He sees the picture and the name. He sees the woman's sign and car. He knows he is wrong.
+
+"Sorry, lady," the man says. "I did not know. I thought he was a stray."
+
+The woman takes the leash from Tim and Jen. She pets Max. Max licks her face.
+
+"Thank you, kids," the woman says. "You are very kind. You saved Max from the jail. Do you want to come with me and see where he lives?"
+
+Tim and Jen nod. They want to see where Max lives. They want to be his friends.
+
+"OK," the woman says. "Let's go!"
+
+The woman, Max, Tim and Jen get in the car. They drive away from the park. They leave the man behind. The man is sad. He has no dog.

+
+"Help! Help!" she cried. "The squirrel is chasing me!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came out of the house. She saw Lily and the squirrel. She laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The squirrel is not a real animal. It is a robot. It is a toy that your dad bought for you. He wanted to surprise you and make you happy."

+Anna and Ben like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is a good dog, but he likes to chew things.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They made a castle with a moat and a bridge. They were very proud of their castle. They wanted to show it to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, come and see our castle!" they shouted.
+
+Mom came out of the house. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a beautiful castle! You did a great job, Anna and Ben!"
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was Spot. He had found the mailbox and was chewing on it. He ripped off the flag and the door. He made a big mess.
+
+"Spot, no!" Mom yelled. "Bad dog! Leave the mailbox alone!"
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the mailbox. They saw the letters and the bills on the ground. They were torn and wet.
+
+"Oh no, Spot!" Anna said. "You ruined the mail!"
+
+"Bad, bad dog!" Ben said. "You are in trouble!"
+
+Spot looked at them with his big eyes. He wagged his tail. He did not know he did something wrong. He thought he was playing.
+
+Mom picked up the mail. She was not happy. She said, "Spot, you have to learn not to chew things that are not yours. You have to be a good dog. Come on, let's go inside. I have to call the mailman and say sorry."
+
+She took Spot by the collar and led him to the house. She gave him a chew toy and a bowl of water. She said, "Stay here and be calm, Spot. No more chewing."
+
+Anna and Ben followed them. They felt sorry for Spot. They knew he was not a bad dog. He was just a silly dog. They gave him a hug and a pat. They said, "We love you, Spot. But please don't chew the mailbox again."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open the freezer and see what was inside. Sometimes they found ice cream, sometimes they found frozen peas, sometimes they found nothing at all.
+
+One day, they opened the freezer and saw a big cake. It was white and round and had pink flowers on top. It looked yummy. Ben and Lily wanted to eat the cake, but they knew it was for their mom's birthday. They had to wait until the party.
+
+"Let's just touch it," Ben said. He reached for the cake, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. Mom will be mad. And the cake is cold. It will hurt your hand," Lily said.
+
+Ben pulled his hand back. He looked at the cake with sad eyes. He wished he could have a bite. He wondered how it tasted.
+
+"Maybe we can have a little piece. Mom won't notice," Ben said.
+
+Lily shook her head. She was a good girl. She did not want to spoil the surprise.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go play with our toys. The cake is too distant. We can't reach it. And soon it will rise and be big and fluffy. Then we can have some at the party," Lily said.
+
+She took Ben's hand and led him out of the kitchen. Ben followed her, but he still looked at the cake. He hoped it would be as good as it looked. He hoped mom would share it with him and Lily. He hoped the party would come soon.
+Lila did not like the dark. She was afraid of the shadows and the noises. She wanted to sleep with her mom and dad, but they said she was a big girl and had to sleep in her own bed. They gave her a hug and a kiss and turned on her night light.
+
+But the night light was not enough. Lila still felt cold and alone. She pulled her blanket over her head and tried to close her eyes. She heard a creak outside her door. She thought it was a monster. She was very scared.
+
+She jumped out of her bed and ran to her door. She opened it and saw her brother Tom. He was holding a flashlight and a book. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, Lila. What are you doing?"
+
+Lila hugged him and said, "I'm scared, Tom. It's dark and cold and I hear noises. Can you stay with me?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Sure, Lila. I'll stay with you. I was going to read you a story anyway. It's about a brave princess who fights a dragon. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lila nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun."
+
+Tom took her hand and led her back to her bed. He tucked her in and spread the blanket over her. He turned on his flashlight and opened his book. He read to her in a soft voice. Lila listened and felt warm and safe. She forgot about the dark and the cold and the noises. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You're the best brother ever."
+
+Tom smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Lila. You're the best sister ever. Now, let's see what the princess does next."
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to search for things in the grass and the trees. One day, they find a row of shiny stones. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, Sara, these stones are so pretty!" Ben says. "They are red and blue and green. I never saw stones like this before."
+
+"Me neither, Ben. Maybe they are rare. Maybe they are magic. Let's take them home and show Mom and Dad." Sara says.
+
+They put the stones in their pockets and run to the gate. But when they get there, they see a man with a big hat and a long coat. He is holding a sign that says "Lost: My precious gems. Reward: $1000."
+
+The man sees Sara and Ben and smiles. He walks towards them.
+
+"Hello, little ones. I see you have something that belongs to me. Those are not stones, they are gems. They are very rare and very valuable. I lost them when I was walking in the park. Can you please give them back to me?" He says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They are scared and confused. They don't know what to do. They like the gems, but they don't want to make the man sad. They don't want to be bad.
+
+"Sorry, mister. We didn't know they were yours. We thought they were just stones. We were just playing. Here, you can have them back." Sara says.
+
+She takes the gems out of her pocket and gives them to the man. Ben does the same. The man takes the gems and puts them in a bag. He smiles again.
+
+"Thank you, little ones. You are very kind and honest. You did the right thing. Here, take this as a reward. It is a chocolate bar. You can share it with your friend. And here is my card. If you ever need anything, just call me. I am a gem collector. Maybe one day I can show you more of my rare gems." He says.
+
+He gives them a chocolate bar and a card. He waves goodbye and walks away. Sara and Ben look at the chocolate bar and the card. They are happy again.
+
+"Wow, Sara, that was amazing. We found rare gems and met a gem collector. And we got a chocolate bar. This is the best day ever." Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is. But you know what? I think you are more rare and more precious than any gem. You are my best friend." Sara says.
+
+They hug each other and eat the chocolate bar. They go home and tell Mom and Dad about their adventure. They keep the card as a souvenir. They never forget the day they searched for stones and found gems.
+Tim and Sue like to play near the old mill. The mill is big and dark and makes loud noises. Some kids say the mill is scary and has ghosts inside. Tim and Sue do not believe them. They are tough and like to dare each other.
+
+One day, Tim says to Sue, "I dare you to go inside the mill and touch the big wheel." Sue says, "No, that is too dangerous. The wheel can hurt you." Tim says, "You are scared. You are not tough. I will go and touch the wheel. Then you will see."
+
+Tim runs to the mill and opens the door. He sees the big wheel spinning fast and making noise. He feels brave and walks closer. He reaches out his hand to touch the wheel. But then he hears a loud bang and sees a flash of light. He screams and runs out of the mill.
+
+Sue sees Tim running and hears him crying. She runs to him and hugs him. She says, "What happened? Are you okay?" Tim says, "The mill is scary. There is a ghost inside. He made a bang and a flash and tried to get me. I am sorry I dared you. I was wrong."
+
+Sue says, "It is okay. I am sorry I called you scared. You are tough. But you are also smart. You know when to run away from danger. Come on, let's go home and tell mom and dad. They will make us feel better." Tim and Sue hold hands and walk away from the mill. They do not play near the mill anymore. They find other places to have fun and dare each other.

+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of wood and ropes. It looked like a fun place to hide and pretend.
+
+"Let's go inside the castle," Tom said. "We can be knights and princesses."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But be quiet. There might be a dragon or a witch inside."
+
+They walked to the castle and opened the door. It was dark and spooky inside. They heard a strange noise. It sounded like a growl.
+
+"What was that?" Lily whispered. She was scared.
+
+"I don't know," Tom whispered. He was scared too.
+
+They looked around and saw a big shadow on the wall. It had horns and claws and teeth. It moved closer to them.
+
+"Run!" Tom shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran out of the castle.
+
+They looked back and saw a dog. It was barking and wagging its tail. It was not a dragon or a witch. It was just a friendly dog.
+
+They laughed and felt silly. They petted the dog and gave it a hug.
+
+"Sorry, doggy," Tom said. "We thought you were scary, but you are nice."
+
+The dog licked their faces and wagged its tail more.
+
+They played with the dog and the castle. They were not scared anymore. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms. They had a big bucket to put the worms in. They wanted to see how many worms they could find.
+
+But they were not allowed to dig near the fence. Mom had told them many times that the fence was old and could break. She said there were sharp things and mean dogs on the other side. She said they had to stay away from the fence.
+
+One day, Lily saw a shiny thing near the fence. It looked like a coin. She wanted to have it. She forgot what Mom had said. She went to the fence and tried to dig the shiny thing out.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Ben shouted. "You can't dig there! Mom will be mad!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She dug harder and harder. She made a big hole. She reached for the shiny thing.
+
+Suddenly, the fence cracked. A loud bark came from the other side. A big dog jumped out of the hole. It was angry and scary. It ran towards Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. They dropped the bucket and ran to the house. The dog chased them. They slammed the door behind them. They were safe, but they were scared.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the dog outside, barking and scratching the door. She saw the hole in the fence. She saw the bucket with the worms. She saw Lily and Ben, hiding behind the sofa.
+
+"What happened?" Mom asked. "Why is there a dog in our garden? Why did you dig near the fence?"
+
+Lily and Ben felt guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They did not want to tell Mom. They looked at each other.
+
+"Lily, you explain," Ben said. "You started it."
+
+Lily did not want to explain. She was afraid Mom would be angry. She wished she had not dug near the fence. She wished she had not seen the shiny thing. She wished the dog would go away.
+
+She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I saw a shiny thing near the fence. I wanted to have it. I dug a hole and the fence broke. The dog came out and chased us. We were scared. We ran to the house. We did not mean to make trouble."
+
+Mom looked at Lily and Ben. She was not happy. She said, "You should have listened to me. You could have been hurt by the dog or the fence. You should not dig near the fence. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should not lie to me. You have to say sorry to the dog and fix the fence. You have to put the worms back in the ground. You have to go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, dog. We're sorry, worms. We will do what you say. We will not dig near the fence again."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to be careful and honest. Now go and do what I told you."
+
+Lily and Ben went outside. They said sorry to the dog. The dog was not angry anymore. It wagged its tail and licked their hands. They fixed the fence. They put the worms back in the ground. They gave the shiny thing to Mom. It was not a coin. It was a button.
+
+They went to their room and thought about what they did. They felt bad, but they also felt better. They had learned a lesson. They had said sorry. They had made up with the dog. They hoped Mom would forgive them.
+
+They looked out of the window. They saw the sun setting in the east. It was red and orange and yellow. It was beautiful. They smiled and said, "Good night, sun. Good night, dog. Good night, worms. Good night, Mom."
+Lily and Ben like to help mom bake cookies. Mom lets them take turns to use the mixer. The mixer is big and noisy and makes the dough smooth and soft.
+
+Today, Lily goes first. She holds the mixer with both hands and presses the button. The mixer goes vroom vroom and makes the flour and butter and sugar and eggs into dough. Lily is happy and proud. She says, "Look, mom, I made the dough!"
+
+Ben waits patiently for his turn. He wants to use the mixer too. He likes to see the dough change color and shape. He says, "Can I have a turn, please, mom?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Of course, Ben. You can have a turn. But first, you need to say thank you to Lily for sharing the mixer with you. Sharing is nice and kind."
+
+Ben nods and says, "Thank you, Lily, for sharing the mixer with you. You are a good sister." Lily smiles and says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good brother." She gives him the mixer and helps him hold it.
+
+Ben uses the mixer and makes the dough into balls. He puts them on the tray and mom puts them in the oven. The cookies smell yummy and look golden. Mom says, "Well done, Lily and Ben. You are very good helpers. I am grateful for you." Lily and Ben hug mom and say, "We love you, mom. And we love cookies." They wait for the cookies to cool and then eat them with milk. They are delicious and they are happy.

+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a very pretty rose!" her mom said. "You are a very good artist!"
+
+"Thank you, mom!" Lily said. "Can I give this picture to someone?"
+
+"Of course, Lily. Who do you want to give it to?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily looked around the park. She saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a sad face. She had no flowers. Lily wanted to make her happy.
+
+"I want to give it to that lady, mom. She looks sad. Maybe she likes roses," Lily said.
+
+"That is very kind of you, Lily. Let's go and say hello to her," her mom said.
+
+Lily and her mom walked to the bench. Lily smiled at the lady. She held out her picture.
+
+"Hello, lady. I made this for you. It is a rose. It is very pretty. I hope you like it," Lily said.
+
+The lady looked at the picture. She was surprised. She smiled. She took the picture from Lily.
+
+"Hello, little girl. Thank you for this. It is a very pretty rose. You are very sweet. I do like it. It makes me happy," the lady said.
+
+Lily was glad. She hugged the lady. The lady hugged her back.
+

+
+"My name is Rose. That is funny, because you gave me a rose. It is a very nice name. I like it," the lady said.
+
+Lily and Rose became friends. They talked and laughed. They looked at the flowers. Lily gave Rose more pictures. Rose gave Lily a real rose. They both received something pretty and something more. They received love.
+Lily was very sleepy. She had played a lot with her toys and her friends. She wanted to go to bed and have a nice dream. But first, she had to eat her dinner. Mommy had made her favorite food: spaghetti and meatballs.
+
+Lily sat at the table and waited for her plate. Mommy came from the kitchen with a big smile. She carried a plate for Lily and a plate for herself. She put them on the table and said, "Here you go, sweetie. Enjoy your dinner."
+
+Lily looked at her plate and saw the spaghetti and meatballs. They smelled good and looked yummy. She picked up her fork and started to eat. She liked the taste of the sauce and the cheese. She ate some meatballs too. They were soft and juicy.
+
+Mommy watched Lily eat and felt happy. She ate her own dinner and talked to Lily. She asked her about her day, her toys, and her friends. Lily told her everything. She used her words and her gestures. She made Mommy laugh and smile.
+
+Lily finished her plate and felt full. She put down her fork and wiped her mouth. She looked at Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. That was a good dinner."
+
+Mommy said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you liked it. Are you ready for bed now?"
+
+Lily nodded and yawned. She was very sleepy. She wanted to go to bed and have a nice dream. She got up from the table and hugged Mommy. Mommy hugged her back and said, "I love you, Lily. You are my precious girl."
+
+Mommy carried Lily to her bedroom. She tucked her in her bed and kissed her forehead. She turned on the night light and said, "Good night, Lily. Sleep well and sweet dreams."
+
+Lily closed her eyes and snuggled with her teddy bear. She felt warm and cozy. She heard Mommy say, "I love you, Lily. You are my precious girl."
+
+Lily smiled and whispered, "I love you, Mommy. You are my best mommy."
+
+Lily fell asleep and had a nice dream.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their cars in the living room. They like to make noises and pretend they are racing. Anna has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They are having fun.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to pass you!" Anna says to Ben.
+
+"No, you're not, I'm faster!" Ben says to Anna.
+
+They zoom their cars around the sofa and the table. They laugh and giggle.
+
+But then, they hear a loud beep from the kitchen. It is the timer for the cookies. Mom is baking cookies for them. They love cookies.
+
+"Beep, beep, cookies are ready!" Mom calls from the kitchen.
+
+Anna and Ben drop their cars and run to the kitchen. They smell the sweet and yummy cookies. Mom takes them out of the oven and puts them on a plate.

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They also like to eat tasty food. One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign says: "Meeting for all animals. Come and share your food."
+
+Lily and Tom are curious. They want to see the meeting. They follow the sign to a big tree. There, they see many animals. They see dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, and more. The animals have food with them. They put the food on the ground.
+
+"Hello, friends," says a big dog. "Welcome to our meeting. We are here to share our food and be nice to each other. Do you have any food to share?"
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They do not have any food. They only have their toys. They feel shy.
+
+"Sorry, we do not have any food," says Lily. "We only have our toys. Can we still join the meeting?"
+
+"Of course, you can," says the big dog. "Toys are fun, too. You can play with us after we eat. But first, would you like to try some of our food? We have many tasty things. We have bones, fish, seeds, nuts, and more. What do you like?"
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They are hungry. They want to try the food. They say thank you to the big dog. They pick some food from the ground. They eat with the animals. They find the food very tasty. They make new friends. They have a good time.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily like to play with their toy cars. They have a big box of cars in different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and books. They pretend to drive their cars to different places.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race. They choose their fastest cars and line them up at the start. They count to three and say "go!" They push their cars along the road, making vroom-vroom noises. They try to go faster than the other.
+
+"Look, I'm ahead of you!" Tom says, as his red car zooms past Lily's blue car.
+
+"No, you're not!" Lily says, as she pushes her car harder. "I'll catch up with you!"
+
+They reach a bridge made of books. It is very high and narrow. It is difficult to cross. Tom's car goes first, but it wobbles and falls off the bridge. It lands on the floor with a thud.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom says, as he sees his car crash. "Now I can't win!"
+
+Lily's car goes next, but it is careful and steady. It crosses the bridge without falling. It reaches the end of the road, where there is a big sign that says "finish". Lily's car stops and honks.
+
+"I did it!" Lily says, as she picks up her car. "I won the race! I have the best score!"
+
+Tom is sad, but he is also a good friend. He picks up his car and hugs it. He goes to Lily and says "well done, Lily. You are a good driver. You have the best score. Can we play again?"
+
+Lily smiles and says "yes, Tom. We can play again. You are a good driver too. Maybe next time you will win. It is fun to play with you."
+
+They put their cars back in the box and hug each other. They are happy. They like to play with their toy cars.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they get tired and need a nap.
+
+One day, they are playing with their blocks. They make a tower, a bridge, and a house. They are having fun, but they also feel sleepy.
+
+"Ben, I want to nap," Sara says. "I am tired."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But I don't want to nap in my bed. It is too dark."
+
+"Let's nap on the couch," Sara says. "It is light and cozy."
+
+They put their blocks away and go to the couch. They bring their blankets and pillows. They snuggle together and close their eyes.
+
+Soon, they are asleep. They have a nice nap on the couch. They dream of light and blocks.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big box under a tree. It has a lock on it.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says. "Maybe there is a treasure inside!"
+
+"But we don't have a key," Mia says. "How can we unlock it?"
+
+Ben thinks hard. He remembers that Daddy has a tool box in the shed. He runs to get it. He finds a hammer and a screwdriver. He brings them to the box.
+
+"Stand back, Mia," he says. "I will break the lock with the hammer."
+
+He hits the lock hard. It makes a loud noise. The lock falls off. Ben and Mia open the box. They see a lot of things inside. There are books, toys, clothes, and a big roll of tape.
+
+"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Mia says. "It must be very old. Maybe it was Grandma's or Grandpa's."
+
+"Or maybe it was a pirate's," Ben says. "Maybe they hid it here and never came back."
+
+He picks up the tape. He unrolls it. He sees something shiny inside. He pulls it out. It is a necklace with a big red stone.
+
+"Look, Mia, look!" he says. "I found a jewel! It was hidden in the tape!"
+
+Mia gasps. She touches the necklace. It is very pretty.
+
+"Can I wear it?" she asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while," Ben says. "Then we have to put it back. It is not ours."
+
+They take turns wearing the necklace. They pretend to be pirates and princesses. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But they don't hear Mommy calling them for lunch. They don't see Daddy coming to the garden. They don't notice the angry look on his face.
+
+"Ben! Mia! What are you doing?" Daddy shouts. "That is my box! That is my necklace! That is my tape!"
+
+He takes the necklace from Mia. He puts it back in the tape. He puts the tape back in the box. He closes the box. He puts the lock back on.
+
+He is very mad. He scolds Ben and Mia. He tells them to never touch his things again. He tells them to go to their room.
+
+Ben and Mia are very sad. They don't understand why Daddy is so mean. They don't know why he has a box with a lock. They don't know why he has a necklace with a tape.
+
+They wish they never found the box. They wish they never unlocked it. They wish they never played with the tape.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom and dad. Every day, she had a task to do, like making her bed, putting away her toys, or feeding the cat. She was happy to do her task, because she loved her family.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to help with a big task. She had to clean the yard and pick up all the leaves. Lily put on her gloves and grabbed a big bag. She started to work, but there were so many leaves. She felt tired and hot. She wanted to stop and play.
+
+She saw her dad sitting on the porch. He was reading a book. She ran to him and said, "Dad, can I take a break? This task is too hard. I'm tired."
+
+Her dad smiled and hugged her. He said, "Lily, you are doing a great job. I'm proud of you. But you can take a break if you want. Do you know what I do when I feel tired or sad?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She wanted to know.
+
+Her dad said, "I pray. I talk to God and ask him to help me. He loves me and he loves you. He listens to us and gives us strength and joy. Do you want to pray with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to talk to God. She closed her eyes and held her dad's hand. They prayed together and thanked God for their family, their home, and their task. They asked God to help them finish their work and have fun.
+
+Lily felt better. She opened her eyes and smiled. She said, "Thank you, dad. Thank you, God. I'm ready to do my task again. Can we play after?"
+
+Her dad said, "Of course, we can. I'll help you with the leaves. Let's go."
+
+They got up and went back to the yard. They worked and played and laughed. They finished their task and felt happy. They prayed again and thanked God for their day.
+Tim and Jen were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked out the window and saw the mail truck. They liked the mail truck. It had many colors and letters and packages.
+
+"Let's play mail!" Jen said. She ran to the closet and got a big box. She cut a hole in the box and put it on her head. She was the mail truck. "Beep beep!" she said.
+
+Tim smiled. He wanted to play too. He got some paper and crayons and made some letters and packages. He wrote his name and Jen's name on them. He was the mailman. He put the letters and packages in a bag and went to the door.
+

+
+Jen opened the door. She saw Tim with the bag. She was happy. She took the letters and packages and said, "Thank you, mailman!"

+Tim said, "You're welcome, mail truck!" He looked around. He saw the stairs. He had an idea. He said, "Do you want to climb the stairs with me?"
+
+Jen nodded. She liked to climb. She took off the box and followed Tim. They climbed the stairs. They pretended they were going up a hill. They made noises like a truck and a mailman. They had fun.
+
+They reached the top of the stairs. They saw a window. They looked out the window. They saw the sun. It was not gloomy anymore. It was bright and warm. They smiled. They said, "Hooray!"
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were rabbits and hop around the grass. They saw a big bunch of celery on the table. They wanted to eat it.
+
+"Let's go get the celery," Lily said. "It looks yummy."
+
+They hopped to the table and grabbed the celery. But they did not see the cat. The cat saw them and wanted to catch them. The cat jumped on the table and ran after them.
+
+"Meow!" the cat said. "You are my lunch!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the celery and ran away. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a hole under the fence. They hopped into the hole and escaped.
+
+"Phew!" Lily said. "That was close. The cat was very mean."
+
+"Yes," Ben said. "But we are safe now. And we still have some celery."
+
+They nibbled on the celery and smiled. They were happy. They liked to be rabbits.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes and jewelry. She put on a pink dress, a pink hat, and a pink necklace. She felt very pretty and wanted to see herself in the mirror. She went to the bathroom and climbed on a stool to reach the mirror.
+
+"Wow, I look like a princess!" she said to herself. She smiled and made funny faces in the mirror. She reached for a lipstick on the sink and tried to put it on her lips. But she dropped the lipstick and it rolled on the floor. She leaned over to get it, but she lost her balance and fell off the stool. She heard a loud crash and saw the mirror break into many pieces.
+
+"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" she cried. She was scared and hurt. She had a cut on her hand and blood on her dress. She ran out of the bathroom and looked for her mom.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me!" she shouted. She found her mom in the kitchen and hugged her. Her mom saw the blood and the tears and took her to the couch.
+
+"What happened, sweetie?" her mom asked.
+
+"I broke the mirror, mommy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lily sobbed.
+
+Her mom kissed her hand and wrapped it in a bandage. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You didn't mean to break the mirror. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you're not hurt badly. Mirrors can be replaced, but you can't. You're my precious princess, and I love you very much."
+
+Lily felt better and said, "I love you too, mommy. Thank you for being nice to me."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, honey. Now, how about we clean up the mess and then have some cookies and milk?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. And can I still wear the pink dress?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Of course you can. You look beautiful in pink."
+Anna and Ben like to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and tracks. They can make different shapes and sounds with them. They have fun together.
+
+One day, they find a new train in the box. It is red and shiny. It has a button on the side. Anna wants to try it. She pushes the button. The train makes a loud noise and blows steam from its top. Anna is happy. She likes the steam. She thinks it is cool.
+
+Ben does not like the steam. He thinks it is hot and wet. He does not want to play with the new train. He wants to play with his old train. He says to Anna, "I don't like the steam. It hurts my eyes. Give me the new train. You can have my old train."
+
+Anna does not want to give Ben the new train. She likes the new train. She says to Ben, "No, I want the new train. It is fun. You can have the steam. It is friendly. It says hello to you."
+
+Ben and Anna start to complain. They both want the new train. They both do not want the steam. They pull and tug at the train. They make angry faces and noises.
+
+Mom hears them complain. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the new train and the steam. She sees Ben and Anna fighting. She is not happy. She says to them, "Stop complaining. You have to share the train. You have to take turns. The steam is not friendly. It is hot and dangerous. It can burn you. Turn off the train. Put it away. Play with something else."
+
+Ben and Anna stop complaining. They are sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. They do not want to get burned. They turn off the train. They put it away. They find another toy to play with. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They are friends again.
+Ben loves to ride his bike. He has a red bike with a bell and a basket. He likes to go fast and ring his bell. Yesterday, he rode his bike to the park with his mom. He saw many things on the way.
+
+He saw a big dog with a ball. The dog was happy and ran after the ball. Ben said, "Hi, dog!" The dog barked and wagged his tail. Ben smiled and rode on.
+
+He saw a yellow bus with many kids. The bus was loud and smelly. Ben said, "Yuck, bus!" The kids waved and shouted. Ben made a face and rode on.
+
+He saw a green frog with a pond. The frog was quiet and jumped in the water. Ben said, "Wow, frog!" The frog croaked and splashed. Ben laughed and rode on.
+
+He reached the park and saw a swing and a slide. He parked his bike and ran to play. He had fun and made new friends. He said, "I love the park!" His mom said, "Me too, Ben!" They hugged and smiled. Ben was happy and tired. He rode his bike back home with his mom. He had a good day.
+Anna was a poor girl who lived with her mother in a small hut. They had no money to buy nice clothes or toys, but they loved each other very much. One day, Anna saw a beautiful lady walking by with a long white veil on her head. She looked like a princess.
+
+"Who is that, Mama?" Anna asked, pointing at the lady.
+
+"That is the bride, my dear. She is going to marry the prince today. They will have a big wedding at the castle," her mother explained.
+
+Anna felt a pang of envy. She wished she could wear a veil and a dress like the bride. She wished she could go to the castle and see the prince. She wished she could be happy like the bride.
+
+"Mama, can I have a veil too?" Anna asked.
+
+Her mother smiled sadly and hugged her. "I'm sorry, my darling. We can't afford a veil. We barely have enough to eat. But you don't need a veil to be beautiful. You have a kind heart and a bright mind. That is more precious than any veil."
+
+Anna nodded, but she still felt sad. She looked at the bride again and sighed.
+
+"Maybe one day, Mama. Maybe one day."
+Lily and Tom are busy. They want to help Mom and Dad wash the roof. The roof is dirty and has many leaves. Mom and Dad have a big hose and a ladder. Lily and Tom have a small hose and a bucket.
+
+"Can we wash the roof too?" Lily asks Mom.
+
+"Sure, you can help us, but be careful. The roof is high and wet. You can wash the low part with your small hose and bucket. Don't go near the ladder or the big hose. They are not for you." Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will be careful and help you." Tom says.
+
+Lily and Tom have fun washing the roof. They spray the water and see the dirt and leaves go away. They laugh and splash each other. They make the roof shiny and clean.
+
+"Good job, Lily and Tom. You are very helpful and good washers. The roof looks much better now. Thank you for helping us." Dad says.
+
+"You're welcome, Dad. We like to help you. Washing the roof is fun." Lily and Tom say.
+
+Mom and Dad hug Lily and Tom. They are proud of them. They are a happy and busy family.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some potatoes. They saw a big bag of potatoes in the kitchen. They decided to take some and cook them.
+
+They put some potatoes in a pot with water. They turned on the stove. They waited for the water to boil. They were very excited.
+
+"Potatoes are yummy!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, they are!" Tom agreed.
+
+They saw a bottle of salt on the counter. They wanted to add some salt to the potatoes. They reached for the bottle. But they were too small. They could not hold the bottle well. The bottle slipped from their hands. It fell on the floor. It broke into pieces.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried.
+
+"Look out!" Tom shouted.
+
+The salt spilled everywhere. Some of it went into the pot. Some of it went on the stove. Some of it went on the floor. The pot started to shake. The water started to bubble. The stove started to smoke.
+
+The pot shook so hard that it tipped over. The hot water and the potatoes poured out. They splashed on Lily and Tom. They burned their skin. They screamed in pain.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the mess. They saw Lily and Tom. They were very angry and very worried.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom yelled.
+
+"How could you be so careless?" Dad scolded.
+
+They took Lily and Tom to the bathroom. They put cold water on their burns. They called the doctor. They said sorry to Lily and Tom. But they also said they had to be punished.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very bad. They wished they had not touched the potatoes. They wished they had waited for Mom and Dad. They wished they had not ruined their lovely dinner. They wished they had not hurt themselves. They learned a hard lesson.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red fruits. They wanted to pick some fruits and eat them.
+
+"Look, Lily, the fruits are so red and shiny. Let's get some," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. The tree is very high and the fruits are very far," Lily said.
+
+Ben and Lily found a big stick. They used the stick to reach the fruits. They pushed and pulled the stick. They made the fruits fall to the ground.
+
+"Yay, we did it! Let's eat the fruits," Ben said.
+
+But when they ran to the fruits, they saw something scary. There was a big trap on the ground. The trap had sharp teeth and a metal chain. The trap was for catching animals.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, look out! It's a trap!" Lily shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Ben stepped on the trap. The trap snapped shut on his foot. Ben screamed in pain. He could not move his foot. He was stuck in the trap.
+
+"Help, help! It hurts, it hurts!" Ben cried.
+
+Lily was very scared. She did not know what to do. She ran to find help. She hoped someone would come and save Ben. But no one came. The trap was too strong and too heavy. Ben was trapped in the park. He was very sad and very hurt. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had not picked the fruits. He wished he had listened to Lily.
+Lila and Ben like to play in the park. They have a net and a ball. They use the net to catch the ball. They throw the ball high in the air and run to catch it with the net.
+
+One day, they see a long and thin animal in the grass. It has a long tail and a long nose. It is an anteater. The anteater is looking for ants to eat. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to see the anteater closer.
+
+They use the net to try to catch the anteater. They sneak up behind it and throw the net over it. But the anteater is fast and strong. It shakes the net off and runs away. Lila and Ben are sad. They did not mean to scare the anteater.
+
+"Sorry, anteater!" they shout. "We just wanted to be your friends!"
+
+The anteater stops and looks at them. It makes a snorting sound. It does not look angry. It looks curious too. It comes back to them slowly. It sniffs the net and the ball. It touches them with its long nose.
+
+"Hello, anteater!" Lila and Ben say. "We are Lila and Ben. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The anteater nods. It likes to play. It picks up the ball with its long nose and throws it to Lila. Lila catches it with the net and throws it to Ben. Ben catches it with the net and throws it to the anteater. They play catch with the net and the ball. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily liked math. She liked to count and add and take away. She had a math book with pictures and puzzles. She took it to school every day.
+
+One day, a boy named Max saw Lily's math book. He wanted to look at it. He did not ask Lily. He grabbed the book from her bag. He opened it and tore a page.
+
+Lily saw what Max did. She was very sad and angry. She ran to Max and tried to get her book back. She shouted, "That is my math book! You are mean! Give it back!"
+
+Max did not listen. He laughed and ran away. He held the book high in the air. He squeezed it hard. He wanted to make it smaller and smaller.
+
+Lily chased Max. She asked for help. A teacher saw them. She stopped Max and took the book from him. She said, "Max, what are you doing? This is not your book. This is Lily's book. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not squeeze and tear books. You should be gentle and careful with them. Say sorry to Lily."
+
+Max looked at the book. He saw the torn page. He felt bad. He said, "Sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I will not do it again."
+
+Lily took her book. She thanked the teacher. She said, "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, Max. I forgive you. Do you want to do math with me? I can share my book with you. Math is fun."
+
+Max nodded. He said, "Yes, please. I want to do math with you. I want to learn and play. Thank you, Lily. You are kind."
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They went to a table. They opened the book. They did math together. They were gentle and friendly. They became friends.
+Mark is a little boy who likes to draw. He has many colors and papers to make pictures. He draws cars, animals, houses and flowers. He is very happy when he draws.

+
+Mom and dad smile and say, "They are very nice, Mark. But we are busy right now. Can you wait a little bit? We will look at them later, okay?"
+
+Mark feels sad. He wants to share his pictures now. He thinks, "Why are they busy? Don't they like my pictures? Maybe they will like them more if I make them bigger and brighter."
+
+Mark takes his colors and papers and goes to the living room. He sees a big white wall. He thinks, "This is a good place to make a big picture. Mom and dad will see it for sure."
+
+Mark starts to draw on the wall with his colors. He draws a big sun, a big tree, a big car and a big flower. He uses all his colors and makes the wall very colorful. He is very proud of his picture.

+
+Mark is confused. He says, "But I made a picture for you. Don't you like it? I used all my colors and made it big and bright."
+
+Mom and dad sigh and say, "We are sorry, Mark. We know you wanted to show us your pictures. But you can't draw on the wall. That's not how you make pictures. You have to use paper and then you can hang them on the wall. Do you understand?"
+
+Mark nods and says, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, mom and dad. I won't draw on the wall again."
+
+Mom and dad hug Mark and say, "It's okay, Mark. We love you and we love your pictures. But next time, please use paper and ask us before you draw on the wall. Now, let's clean up the wall and then we can look at your other pictures, okay?"
+
+Mark says, "Okay, mom and dad. Thank you for looking at my pictures. I love you too."

+
+"Ben, stop singing. Let's play cars," she says.
+
+Ben does not hear her. He keeps singing. He thinks he is very good.
+
+Lily taps harder. "Ben, stop singing. Let's play dolls," she says.
+
+Ben still does not hear her. He sings louder. He thinks he is very great.
+
+Lily gets angry. She shouts. "Ben, stop singing. You are too loud. You are not an opera singer. You are a frog."
+
+Ben opens his eyes. He blinks. He sees Lily's angry face. He stops singing. He feels sad.
+
+"Why did you say that? I like singing. I am an opera singer. You are a mean sister," he says.
+
+Lily feels sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She likes singing too. She hugs Ben.

+Lily was a happy girl who liked to make poems. She would use words that rhymed and sounded nice. She would write them on paper and draw pictures too. She had a book where she kept all her poems.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her poems to her friend Tom. She took her book and went to his house. She knocked on the door and said, "Hi, Tom, can I show you my poems?"
+
+Tom opened the door and smiled. He said, "Sure, Lily, I would love to see your poems. Come in, come in."

+Lily went inside and sat on the couch. She opened her book and started to read her poems to Tom. Tom listened and clapped. He said, "Wow, Lily, your poems are very good. You are very clever."
+
+Lily was very happy. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. Do you want to make a poem with me?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, I do. That sounds like fun. How do we make a poem?"
+
+Lily said, "We need to think of words that rhyme and have the same sound. Like cat and hat, or sun and fun. Then we need to make a sentence with those words. Like, I have a cat who wears a hat, or I like to play in the sun and have fun."
+
+Tom said, "I see, I see. That sounds easy. Let me try. How about, I have a dog who likes to jog, or I like to eat a bun and drink some juice?"
+
+Lily said, "Those are good, Tom. You are good at making poems. Let's write them down and draw some pictures."
+
+They wrote their poems on paper and drew some pictures. They had a lot of fun. They made a new book with their poems. They were very proud of their work.
+
+They decided to show their book to Tom's mom. They went to the kitchen and said, "Mom, mom, look what we made. We made a book of poems. Can we read them to you?"
+
+Tom's mom said, "Of course, my dears. I would love to hear your poems. You are very creative."

+Sara and Ben like to play at the beach. They find many shells and rocks and sand. Sara sees a big shell that is closed. She thinks there is a pearl inside. She wants the pearl for herself.
+
+She picks up the shell and runs away from Ben. Ben is angry and follows her. He says, "Give me the shell, Sara. It is mine. I saw it first." Sara says, "No, it is mine. I have it now. Go away, Ben." She runs faster.
+
+Sara finds a rock and tries to open the shell. She hits the shell hard with the rock. She does not know that the shell is an oyster. She does not know that oysters are alive and delicate. She does not know that oysters can bite.
+
+The oyster feels the rock and the pain. It is scared and angry. It opens its mouth and snaps at Sara's finger. Sara screams and drops the oyster and the rock. She sees blood on her finger. She cries and runs to her mom.
+
+Ben sees the oyster on the ground. He picks it up and looks inside. He does not see a pearl. He sees a small, slimy thing. He says, "Yuck, this is not a pearl. This is an oyster. Sara is silly. She hurt herself for nothing." He throws the oyster back into the water. He does not care about the oyster. He does not say sorry. He is happy that Sara did not get a pearl. He is mean.
+One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a truck and a kite. They liked to share their toys and include each other in their games.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the truck go fast!" Ben said, pushing the truck on the grass.
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Ben! Can I try?" Lily asked, holding the doll.
+
+"Sure, here you go. Can I hold the doll?" Ben said, handing the truck to Lily. He was generous and did not mind sharing.
+
+"Of course, here you go. She is very pretty, isn't she?" Lily said, giving the doll to Ben. She was generous and did not mind sharing.
+
+They played happily for a while, until they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It was spinning and making a loud noise. It was a tornado!
+
+"Uh-oh, what is that?" Ben said, looking at the cloud.
+
+"I don't know, but it looks scary!" Lily said, feeling afraid.
+
+"Come on, we have to go home!" Ben said, grabbing the ball and the doll.
+
+"What about the truck and the kite?" Lily said, picking up the truck and the kite.
+
+"We can't take them, they are too big. We have to run!" Ben said, pulling Lily by the hand.
+
+They ran as fast as they could, leaving the truck and the kite behind. The tornado was getting closer and closer, and it was very windy.
+
+They reached their home and ran inside. Their mom and dad were waiting for them, and they hugged them tight.
+
+"Are you okay, kids? We saw the tornado on the news. It was very dangerous!" Mom said, kissing their heads.
+
+"We're okay, Mom. We ran home as fast as we could. But we left our truck and our kite in the park. We're sorry!" Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+"Don't worry, sweetie. We're just glad you're safe. The truck and the kite are just things. You can get new ones later. The most important thing is that you have each other. You are very brave and generous, and we are very proud of you!" Dad said, smiling at them.
+
+"Thank you, Dad. We love you!" Ben said, hugging him.
+
+"We love you too, kids. Now, let's go to the basement and wait for the tornado to pass. Maybe we can play with the ball and the doll there. Do you want to include us in your games?" Mom said, holding their hands.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We want to include you. You are the best!" Lily said, smiling at her.
+
+They went to the basement and played together, until the tornado was gone. They were happy and safe, and they had each other. They were a generous family.
+Sara and Tom like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, and sometimes they stop to look at the birds and the flowers. They have fun and feel good.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is not on a leash, and it looks angry. It barks loud and runs towards them. Sara and Tom are scared. They think the dog is a threat.
+
+"Run, Tom, run!" Sara says. "The dog wants to bite us!"
+
+They run away from the dog, but the dog is faster. It chases them across the grass and the path. Sara and Tom are tired. They can't jog anymore. They look for a place to hide.
+
+They see a bench near a tree. They run to the bench and climb on it. The dog can't reach them there. It jumps and snarls, but it can't get them. Sara and Tom hug each other. They hope the dog will go away.
+
+They see a man coming. He has a leash in his hand. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog and puts the leash on it. He says sorry to Sara and Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. He is not a bad dog, he just likes to play. He didn't mean to scare you."

+Sara and Tom are still scared. They don't want to play with the dog. They want to go home.
+
+"Can you please take your dog away?" Sara says. "We don't like him. He is a threat."
+
+The man nods and walks away with the dog. Sara and Tom get off the bench and jog to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them and says they are brave.

+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a white dog. His name is Spot. Spot is very good. He likes to protect Tom and Mia.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia find a big jar of butter in the park. They are hungry. They want to eat the butter. They open the jar and dip their fingers in it. It is yummy.
+
+But then, a mean cat comes. The cat is black and has sharp teeth. The cat wants the butter too. He hisses and jumps at Tom and Mia. They are scared.
+
+Spot sees the cat. He barks and runs to Tom and Mia. He stands in front of them. He growls at the cat. He tells the cat to go away.
+
+"Spot, you are brave!" Tom says.
+
+"Spot, you are kind!" Mia says.
+
+The cat is afraid of Spot. He runs away. Tom and Mia hug Spot. They share the butter with him. They are happy. They love Spot. Spot loves them too.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their cat, Spot. Spot is a black and white cat with a wide face and a long tail. He likes to chase balls and mice and nap on the sofa.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia find a new toy in their room. It is a small box with a red button and a black cord. The box can record sounds and play them back. Tom and Mia are curious and want to try it.
+
+"Let's record Spot's meow," Tom says. He holds the box near Spot, who is sleeping on the sofa. He presses the red button and says, "Spot, meow for us."
+
+Spot opens one eye and looks at Tom. He does not meow. He yawns and stretches and goes back to sleep.
+
+"Spot is lazy," Mia says. She takes the box from Tom and tries again. She presses the red button and says, "Spot, meow for us. Please."
+
+Spot opens both eyes and looks at Mia. He does not meow. He jumps off the sofa and walks away.
+
+"Spot is rude," Tom says. He and Mia follow Spot to the kitchen. They see him drinking water from his bowl. They think of a new idea.
+
+"Let's record Spot's slurp," Mia says. She holds the box near Spot, who is slurping water. She presses the red button and waits.
+
+Spot stops slurping and looks at Mia. He sees the box and the cord. He thinks it is a toy. He pounces on the cord and bites it.
+
+"Spot, no!" Tom and Mia shout. They try to pull the cord from Spot, but he holds on. He shakes his head and pulls the cord. The box falls to the floor and breaks.
+
+"Spot, bad!" Tom and Mia scold. They are sad and angry. They pick up the broken box and the cord. They hear a sound from the box.
+
+"Spot, meow for us. Please."
+
+It is Mia's voice, recorded by the box. Spot hears it and meows back. He thinks it is a game. He wags his tail and rubs his head against Tom and Mia.
+
+"Spot, silly," Tom and Mia say. They are not sad and angry anymore. They are amused and happy. They hug Spot and laugh. They still like to play with their cat, even if he breaks their toys.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a magic wand in their mom's closet. They wanted to see what it could do, so they pointed it at different things. They made their teddy bear grow big, their ball turn blue, and their lamp sing a song.
+
+But then, they pointed it at each other. Lily made Ben shrink very small, and Ben made Lily shrink very small too. They laughed at first, but then they realized they were in trouble. They could not reach the wand, and they could not call for help. They were scared and sorry.
+
+They saw their cat, Milo, come into the room. He was hungry and curious. He saw the tiny twins and thought they were mice. He pounced on them and tried to catch them. Lily and Ben ran away, but they had nowhere to hide. They wished they had not played with the wand.
+
+Then, they saw their mom come into the room. She was looking for them, and she saw the wand on the floor. She picked it up and saw the cat chasing something. She looked closer and saw her children. She was shocked and angry. She used the wand to make them big again, and she took it away. She told them to never touch it again, and to be careful with their toys.
+
+She also gave them a teach. She said that magic was not a game, and that they should not hurt each other or themselves. She said that they should be kind and respectful, and that they should share and help each other. She said that they were lucky that she found them, and that they should be grateful and sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They also hugged each other and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson, and they promised to be good. They also said they were hungry, and they asked for some food. Their mom smiled and said she had made some soup for them. She warned them that it was spicy, but they said they did not mind. They ate the soup and thanked their mom. They felt warm and happy. They decided that magic was not as fun as love.

+Anna was very happy. Today was her daddy's birthday. She wanted to celebrate with him. She made a card with crayons and stickers. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, Daddy".
+
+She ran to the kitchen, where mommy was making a cake. She wanted to help. She asked mommy, "Can I put the candles on the cake?"
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, sweetie. But be careful, they are hot."
+
+Anna nodded and climbed on a chair. She took the candles from the box and stuck them on the cake. She counted them. One, two, three, four, five. Daddy was five years old. No, that was wrong. Daddy was older than five. She frowned. How old was daddy?
+
+She asked mommy, "Mommy, how old is daddy?"
+
+Mommy looked at the cake and laughed. She said, "Daddy is thirty-five, honey. You need to add more candles."
+
+Anna was confused. She did not know what thirty-five meant. She only knew the numbers up to ten. She said, "But I don't have more candles. And the cake is too small."
+
+Mommy hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. Daddy will love your cake anyway. It's the thought that counts. And you know what? Daddy is not ordinary. He is special. He is the best daddy in the world."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Yes, he is. I love him very much."
+
+They heard the door open. Daddy was home. Anna and mommy shouted, "Surprise! Happy birthday, Daddy!"
+
+Daddy was surprised and happy. He saw the cake and the card. He hugged Anna and mommy and said, "Thank you, my loves. You made my day. This is the best birthday ever."
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Tom brought a new car to school. It was big and shiny and made noises. Lily wanted to play with it, but Tom said no.
+
+"That is my car. You can't have it. Go play with your old doll," Tom said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her doll, but she also wanted to try the new car. She thought Tom was ignorant. He did not share or care about her feelings.
+
+She went to the teacher and told her what Tom said. The teacher was not happy. She took Tom's car and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Tom, you need to learn to share. You can't keep the car all to yourself. Lily is your friend, and you should be nice to her. You can play with her doll instead," the teacher said.
+
+Tom was shocked and upset. He did not want to play with the doll. He wanted his car back. He looked at Lily and saw her smiling and driving the car. He felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Lily, I'm sorry. I was ignorant. Can we be friends again? Can we play with the car and the doll together?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She saw that Tom was sorry and wanted to be her friend again. She nodded and gave him the car.
+
+"Sure, Tom. We can be friends again. We can play with the car and the doll together. Sharing is fun," Lily said.
+
+They hugged and played happily. The teacher smiled and praised them. They learned to replace ignorance with kindness.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One Sunday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily went first and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "This is fun!"
+
+Ben wanted to slide too, but he was scared. He looked at the slide and said, "No, this is too high. I don't want to slide." Lily said, "Don't be scared, Ben. It's not hard. Just sit and go. I will catch you."
+
+But Ben shook his head and said, "No, no, no. You go again. I will watch." Lily slid again and again, and laughed more and more. Ben watched and felt sad. He wanted to have fun, but he was too scared.
+
+Then, a boy came to the slide. He was bigger than Lily and Ben. He said, "Move, move, move. I want to slide. You are too slow." He pushed Lily and Ben aside and climbed to the top. He slid down fast, but he did not laugh. He made a bitter face and said, "This slide is boring. It's not fun at all."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and said, "He is mean. He does not know how to have fun. He does not have a friend." They decided to ignore him and play somewhere else. They found a swing and a seesaw and had a lot of fun. They laughed and said, "We are happy. We have each other."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't let fear or meanness stop you from having fun. Be brave and kind, and you will find joy and friendship.
+Tom and Lily love to play outside when it rains. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. There they find many big puddles to jump in. They splash and laugh and have fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, this puddle is so big!" Tom says. He jumps in the puddle and makes a big wave.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a big puddle!" Lily says. She jumps in the puddle too and makes another big wave.
+
+They jump and splash and laugh some more. They do not mind getting wet and dirty. They love the rain and the puddles.
+
+But then they hear their mom calling them. "Tom, Lily, time to go home!" she says. "You need to get dry and warm!"
+
+"Okay, mom!" Tom and Lily say. They run to their mom and give her a hug. They are wet and dirty, but they are happy.
+
+"We love you, mom!" they say.
+
+"I love you too, my puddle jumpers!" mom says. She smiles and takes them home.
+Lily liked to look at the stars at night. She saw many small lights in the sky. Some were white, some were yellow, some were red. She wondered what they were.
+
+One night, she saw a big light that was not like the others. It was bright and long and had a tail. It moved fast across the sky. Lily was amazed. She asked her mom, "What is that?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a comet, Lily. It is a big rock that flies in space. Sometimes it comes close to the sun and it glows. It is very rare and beautiful."
+
+Lily wanted to touch the comet. She said, "Can I hold it, mom? Is it smooth?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, Lily, you can't hold it. It is very far away and very hot. It is not smooth, it is rough and bumpy. But you can make a wish on it. Maybe it will come true."
+
+Lily closed her eyes and made a wish. She wished for a new doll that glowed like the comet. She opened her eyes and smiled. She said, "Thank you, comet. You are very pretty. Good night."
+Tom is a bald boy who likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He makes them zoom and crash on the floor. He is happy when he plays with his cars.
+
+One day, he sees a new car in his mom's room. It is shiny and red and has a big horn. Tom wants to play with it. He takes it from the shelf and runs to his room. He does not ask his mom. He thinks she will not mind.
+
+But his mom does mind. She is looking for her car. It is not a toy. It is a key. It opens her car outside. She needs it to go to the store. She asks Tom if he has seen it. Tom says no. He is afraid to tell the truth. He hides the car under his bed.
+
+His mom is angry and worried. She looks everywhere for her car key. She cannot find it. She cannot go to the store. She cannot buy food and milk. She does not know what to do.
+
+Tom feels bad. He knows he did something wrong. He wants to say sorry. He wants to give back the car key. But he is scared of his mom. He thinks she will be mad at him. He does not know what to do.
+
+He goes to the toilet. He needs to pee. He sees the car key in his pocket. He has an idea. He throws the car key in the toilet. He thinks it will go away. He thinks his mom will not find it. He thinks he will not get in trouble.
+
+But he is wrong. The car key does not go away. It stays in the toilet. It makes a loud noise. It clogs the toilet. The water does not go down. It goes up. It spills on the floor. It makes a big mess.
+
+His mom hears the noise. She runs to the toilet. She sees the water and the car key. She is shocked and angry. She knows Tom did it. She asks him why. Tom starts to cry. He says he is sorry. He says he wanted to play with the car key. He says he was afraid to return it. He says he tried to hide it.
+
+His mom is sad and disappointed. She tells him he was wrong. She tells him he should not take things without asking. She tells him he should not lie. She tells him he should not throw things in the toilet. She tells him he should return things he borrows. She tells him he should say sorry when he makes a mistake.
+
+Tom listens to his mom. He feels sorry. He hugs his mom. He says he is sorry. He says he will not do it again. He says he will return things he borrows. He says he will tell the truth. He says he loves his mom.
+
+His mom hugs him back. She says she is sorry too. She says she loves him. She says she will forgive him. She says they will fix the toilet. She says they will go to the store. She says they will play with his cars. She says they will be happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play near the big factory. The factory was smelly and noisy, but it had many things to see and touch. Ben and Lily liked to climb on the old cars and trucks that were piled up outside the factory. They pretended they were driving to faraway places.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing near the factory. It was a big red button on a pole. It had a sign that said "Do not push". Ben and Lily were curious. They wondered what would happen if they pushed the button.
+
+"Let's push it and see," Ben said.
+
+"No, we can't. The sign says no," Lily said.
+
+"But maybe it does something fun. Maybe it makes the factory stop being smelly. Maybe it makes candy come out," Ben said.
+
+Lily was not sure. She was afraid of getting in trouble. But Ben was not. He wanted to try the button. He ran to the pole and reached for the button.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Lily shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Ben pushed the button. And then he heard a loud sound. It was a siren. It was coming from the factory. It was very loud and scary.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the factory. They saw smoke and fire coming out of the windows. They saw people running and shouting. They saw a big sign that said "Danger".
+
+Ben and Lily realized they had done something bad. They had made the factory explode. They had made a big mess. They had made everyone angry.
+
+They were very sorry. They wished they had not pushed the button. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they could go back and change what they had done.
+
+But they could not. They had to face the consequences. They saw a man coming towards them. He was wearing a helmet and a coat. He looked very mad. He had a big hose in his hand.
+
+He pointed at Ben and Lily. He said, "You two! What did you do? Do you know how much trouble you are in? Come here right now!"
+
+Ben and Lily were very scared. They wanted to run away. But they knew they could not. They had to go with the man. They had to say sorry. They had to learn their lesson.
+
+They held hands and walked slowly to the man. They hoped he would not be too mean. They hoped he would forgive them. They hoped they would never see the big red button again.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had a big calendar on the wall with pictures of animals and flowers. Every day, they would put a sticker on the calendar to show what they did.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to put a sticker of a butterfly on the calendar, because she saw a beautiful butterfly in the garden. But Ben wanted to put a sticker of a lion, because he liked lions and he roared like one. They both reached for the calendar and pulled on it.
+
+"Stop, Ben! I want the butterfly!" Anna said.
+
+"No, Anna! I want the lion!" Ben said.
+
+They pulled harder and harder, until the calendar tore in half. They both fell on the floor and looked at the ripped calendar. They felt sad and angry.
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was their friend Lily, who came to play with them. She saw the torn calendar and asked what happened.
+
+"Anna and Ben wanted different stickers and they ripped the calendar," Lily said.
+
+"That's not nice. You should share and include each other," Lily said. "The calendar is for everyone, not just for you. Maybe you can find a sticker that you both like, or take turns to choose."
+
+Anna and Ben thought about what Lily said. They realized that they were being selfish and mean. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They looked at the stickers and found one that had a butterfly and a lion together. They smiled and put it on the calendar.
+
+They thanked Lily for being a good friend and invited her to play with them. They had fun and learned to include each other and respect their differences. They also learned to take care of their things and not break them. They decided to make a new calendar with more stickers and more friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
+
+"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Let's act like we are in the rainbow!" Ben says. "We can pretend we are fairies or unicorns or dragons!"
+
+They run to the garden and find some flowers and leaves. They make crowns and wings and tails. They act like they are in the rainbow. They fly and dance and roar.
+
+But then, the sky gets dark and gray. It starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet. The rainbow fades away.
+
+"Oh no, the rainbow is gone!" Anna says. "Where did it go?"
+
+"It is hidden by the clouds," Ben says. "But maybe it will come back later."
+
+They run to the house and find some towels and blankets. They dry themselves and warm themselves. They act like they are in a cozy cave.
+
+"Maybe we can see the rainbow again tomorrow," Anna says.
+
+"Maybe we can," Ben says. "But we can still have fun today. We can act like anything we want!"
+Timmy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red car that made a loud noise. He liked to zoom the car around the room and pretend he was a driver.
+
+One morning, Timmy woke up early and wanted to play with his car. He got out of his bed and walked to his toy box. But he did not see his car. He saw only a tidy pile of books and clothes. His mom had put away his toys while he was sleeping.
+
+"Where is my car?" Timmy asked. He looked under the bed, behind the door, and in the closet. He could not find his car anywhere. He felt sad and angry.
+
+He went to his mom's room and knocked on the door. His mom was still sleeping. She had set an alarm to wake up later. Timmy opened the door and saw his mom's alarm on the nightstand. He had an idea. He grabbed the alarm and ran to his room.
+
+He put the alarm on the floor and turned it on. He hoped it would make his car come out of hiding. He waited and listened. The alarm made a loud beep-beep-beep sound. It was very noisy.
+
+Timmy's mom heard the alarm and woke up. She was surprised and confused. She got out of her bed and walked to Timmy's room. She saw Timmy sitting on the floor with the alarm in his hand.
+
+"Timmy, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you take my alarm?"
+
+Timmy looked at his mom and said, "I want my car. I can't find my car. I thought the alarm would make my car come out."
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Timmy. I put your car in the toy box. I wanted to make your room tidy. But I know you love your car. Let's go and get it."
+
+She took Timmy's hand and walked to the toy box. She opened the lid and found the red car. She gave it to Timmy and said, "Here is your car. You can play with it, but please put it back when you are done."
+
+Timmy was happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry I took your alarm. I won't do it again."
+
+He hugged his mom and took his car. He zoomed it around the room and made a loud noise. He was a driver again.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But today, Sara is sad. She misses her mom. Her mom went to work and said she will come back soon.
+
+"Ben, do you miss your mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"No, I don't miss my mom. She is at home. She makes me lunch and reads me stories. She is nice," Ben says.
+
+"I wish my mom was at home too. She is nice too. She hugs me and sings me songs. She is not here," Sara says.
+
+Sara and Ben sit on the bench. They see a big door. The door is dirty. It has paint and mud on it. They wonder what is behind the door.
+
+"Maybe there is a secret place behind the door. Maybe there are toys and candy and animals. Do you want to see?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, I want to see. Maybe my mom is there. Maybe she is waiting for me. Let's go," Sara says.
+
+Sara and Ben run to the door. They try to open it. But the door is locked. They push and pull. But the door does not move.
+
+"Ben, the door is stuck. We can't see what is behind it. I want to see. I want to see my mom," Sara says.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. Maybe we can find another way. Maybe we can climb over the door. Maybe we can dig under the door. Maybe we can break the door," Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben look for another way. They see a ladder. They see a shovel. They see a hammer. They try to use them. But they are too small. They can't reach the ladder. They can't lift the shovel. They can't swing the hammer.
+
+"Ben, we can't find another way. We can't see what is behind the door. I don't want to play anymore. I want to go home. I want to see my mom," Sara says.
+
+"OK, Sara. Let's go home. Maybe your mom is back. Maybe she is looking for you. Maybe she has a surprise for you. Let's go," Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben leave the door. They walk to Sara's house. They see Sara's mom. She is smiling. She is holding a cake. She has a surprise for Sara.
+
+"Sara, I'm back. I missed you so much. I made you a cake. It is your favorite. It has chocolate and cherries. Happy birthday, Sara," Sara's mom says.
+
+Sara runs to her mom. She hugs her mom. She kisses her mom. She is happy. She does not miss her mom anymore. She does not care about the door anymore. She has her mom and her cake.
+
+"Mom, I missed you too. I love you so much. Thank you for the cake. It is beautiful. Can I share it with Ben? He is my friend. He helped me look for you," Sara says.
+
+"Of course, you can share it with Ben. He is a good friend. He can come in and have some cake. Come on, let's go inside. It is time to celebrate," Sara's mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben go inside. They have some cake. They have some juice. They have some fun. They are happy. They are friends. They are family.
+Tim and Liz liked to play in the woods behind their house. They liked to look for bugs and birds and flowers. Sometimes they found old lumber that people left there. They liked to stack the lumber and make forts and houses.
+
+One day, they found a big pile of lumber near a dry bush. They thought it would be fun to make a big house with it. They started to move the lumber and put it together. But they did not see the matches that someone had dropped there.
+
+Tim picked up a match and wondered what it was. He rubbed it on the lumber and it made a spark. He liked the spark and rubbed it again. It made a flame. He liked the flame and showed it to Liz. Liz was scared and told him to stop. But Tim did not stop. He put the match on the dry bush and it caught fire.
+
+The fire grew bigger and bigger. It started to burn the lumber and the trees and the grass. Tim and Liz saw the fire and ran away. They ran to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was very angry and called the firemen.
+
+The firemen came with big trucks and hoses. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They also scolded Tim and Liz for playing with matches. They told them that fire was very dangerous and could hurt them and the woods. Tim and Liz felt very bad and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never played with matches again.
+Lily loved to ride her bike. She had a pink bike with a bell and a basket. She liked to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. She always wore her helmet and followed the rules.
+
+One day, she saw a big hill near the park. She had an urge to ride down the hill. She thought it would be fun and exciting. She asked her mom if she could try it.
+
+"Are you sure, Lily?" her mom said. "That hill is very steep and long. You have to be careful and brake when you need to. It's not a game. It's serious."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt brave and ready. She said, "I can do it, mom. I'm a good rider. Please let me try."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily. But be safe and listen to me. I'll be at the bottom of the hill to catch you."
+
+Lily thanked her mom and got on her bike. She pushed hard and started to go down the hill. She felt a rush of joy and fear. She went faster and faster. She saw the trees and the sky and the grass. She heard her mom shouting, "Slow down, Lily! Brake, brake!"
+
+But Lily didn't brake. She had an urge to go faster. She wanted to feel the thrill. She forgot about the rules and the danger. She only thought about the ride.
+
+She didn't see the rock on the road. She hit it with her front wheel and lost her balance. She flew off her bike and landed on the ground. She scraped her knee and her elbow and her chin. She cried out in pain and shock.
+
+Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked her for injuries and said, "Oh, Lily, what did you do? You didn't brake. You didn't listen. You could have been hurt worse. Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I had an urge to ride. I wanted to have fun. I didn't mean to be bad."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "I know, Lily. I know you love to ride. But you have to be careful and smart. Riding is fun, but it's also serious. You have to respect the bike and the road and yourself. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go home and clean your wounds. And maybe next time, we can find a smaller hill to ride on."
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They were very happy to play in the sand and splash in the water. The beach was busy with many people and boats and birds.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is that?" Lily said, pointing to something in the water. It was a jellyfish, floating near the shore. It had a big round body and long thin arms. It looked like a balloon with strings.
+
+"Wow, a jellyfish!" Ben said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"No, no, no!" their mom said, running to them. "Jellyfish can hurt you. They have stings on their arms. If they touch you, it will be very ouchy."
+
+"Ouchy?" Lily asked, making a sad face.
+
+"Yes, ouchy. If a jellyfish stings you, you have to soak the ouchy part in warm water or vinegar. That will make it feel better. But it is better to stay away from jellyfish. They are not for playing with. They are for looking at."
+
+"OK, mom," Ben and Lily said. They nodded and moved away from the jellyfish. They decided to build a sandcastle instead. They used buckets and shovels and shells and seaweed. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the jellyfish.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to play with her hoop. She could roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She had fun with her hoop every day.
+
+One day, she saw a boy with a ball. The ball was big and red and shiny. Lily wanted the ball. She ran to the boy and said, "Give me your ball!"
+
+The boy was scared and sad. He said, "No, this is my ball. I like my ball. Go away!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the ball and ran away. The boy cried and chased her.
+
+Lily was happy with the ball. She threw it, bounced it, and kicked it. She forgot about her hoop. She left it on the grass. It was empty and lonely.
+
+Soon, a girl came by. She saw the hoop. She liked the hoop. She picked it up and said, "What a nice hoop! I can play with this hoop. Thank you, whoever left it here!"
+
+She rolled it, spun it, and jumped through it. She had fun with the hoop.
+
+Lily saw the girl with her hoop. She was angry and jealous. She ran to the girl and said, "Give me back my hoop! That is my hoop. I want my hoop!"
+
+The girl was surprised and confused. She said, "No, this is my hoop. I found it on the grass. It was empty and lonely. Go away!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She tried to grab the hoop. The girl held on to the hoop. They pulled and tugged and fought.
+
+The boy saw them. He ran to them and said, "Stop! Stop! You are both being mean and greedy. You should share and be kind. That is how you make friends and have fun."
+
+Lily and the girl stopped. They looked at the boy. They looked at the ball. They looked at the hoop. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+They said, "You are right. We are sorry. We were mean and greedy. We should share and be kind. That is how we make friends and have fun."
+
+They gave back the ball and the hoop. They said, "Thank you" and "Sorry". They played together with the ball and the hoop. They had fun and became friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Share and be kind. That is how you make friends and have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and laugh. They also liked to spray the flowers and the trees. They were having fun.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a squirrel on a branch. It was brown and fluffy. It had a long tail and big eyes. It looked at them curiously.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Anna said. "Let's spray it!"
+
+"No, don't do that!" Ben said. "It might get scared or angry. It might bite us."
+
+But Anna was adventurous. She wanted to spray the squirrel. She ran towards the tree and aimed her water gun. She pressed the trigger and squirted water.
+
+The squirrel was surprised. It did not like to get wet. It made a loud noise and jumped from the branch. It landed on Anna's head and scratched her hair. Anna screamed and dropped her water gun.
+
+Ben ran to help her. He shooed the squirrel away and hugged Anna. He checked her head for wounds. She was not hurt, but she was scared and sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "You were right. I should not have sprayed the squirrel. It was not nice."
+
+"It's okay, Anna," Ben said. "You learned your lesson. Next time, let's spray something else. Like the slide or the swing."
+
+Anna nodded. She smiled and picked up her water gun. She and Ben went to the playground and sprayed the slide and the swing. They were having fun again. They did not spray the squirrel anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were famous singers and actors. They made up songs and stories for them.
+
+"Look, this is Anna. She is a famous singer. She can sing very loud and pretty," Lily said, holding up her doll.
+
+"And this is Leo. He is a famous actor. He can act very brave and funny," Ben said, holding up his doll.
+
+They were having fun, until a big boy came and took Leo from Ben. He laughed and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give him back! He is mine!" Ben shouted, running after him.
+
+"That's not fair! He is a threat! He is mean!" Lily shouted, following Ben.
+
+The big boy was faster and stronger than them. He climbed up a tree and held Leo high.
+
+"Ha ha, this is my doll now. He is not famous, he is silly. I will rip him and throw him away," he said, making a scary face.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They wanted Leo back.
+
+"Please, give him back. He is our friend. We love him," they said, looking up at the tree.
+
+The big boy did not listen. He was about to rip Leo, when something happened. A loud bark came from behind the tree. It was Rex, the park's dog. He was big and friendly. He saw the big boy and did not like him. He ran to the tree and jumped. He bit the big boy's leg.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Get off me, you stupid dog!" the big boy screamed, dropping Leo.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They caught Leo and hugged him. They thanked Rex and petted him.
+
+"Good boy, Rex. You are a hero. You saved Leo," they said.
+
+Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He liked Lily and Ben. They were nice.
+
+The big boy ran away, crying and limping. He learned his lesson. He would not be a threat again.
+
+Lily and Ben went back to playing with their dolls. They made up a new song and story for them. They were about Rex, the famous hero dog. They sang and laughed. They were happy.
+Anna was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She had a big box of clothes and shoes for them. She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom.
+
+"Anna, can you come downstairs for a minute? There is someone here to see you," her mom said.
+
+Anna put her dolls down and ran to the door. She wondered who it was. Maybe it was her grandma or her aunt. She liked to see them. They always brought her candy and books.
+
+She followed her mom downstairs. In the living room, she saw a man and a woman. They were smiling at her. They looked nice, but she did not know them. She felt shy and hid behind her mom.
+
+"Anna, this is Mr. and Mrs. Lee. They are your new neighbors. They just moved in next door. They have a daughter who is your age. Her name is Lily. Do you want to say hello?" her mom said.
+
+Anna peeked from behind her mom. She saw a little girl standing next to the woman. She had long black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink dress and a purple bow. She looked familiar. Anna tried to remember where she had seen her before.
+
+Then she recognized her. She was the girl from the park. The one who had shared her swing and her cookies with her. The one who had said she liked her dolls. Anna liked her too. She was nice and friendly.
+
+Anna smiled and came out from behind her mom. She walked towards the girl and said, "Hi, Lily. I remember you. You are the girl from the park. I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "Hi, Anna. I remember you too. You are the girl with the dolls. I'm Lily. Yes, I want to play with you."
+
+The two girls hugged and giggled. They looked at each other and saw a new friend. They ran upstairs to Anna's room. They had a lot of fun playing with the dolls. They tried on different clothes and shoes for them. They made them talk and act out stories. They laughed and shared their secrets.
+
+The man and the woman watched them with a smile. They were happy to see their daughter make a new friend. They thanked Anna's mom for inviting them over. They said they hoped to see them again soon.
+
+Anna's mom said she was glad to meet them. She said they were welcome anytime. She said she was happy for Anna and Lily. She said they looked like two peas in a pod.
+
+She looked at the clear figure of the two girls on the stairs. They were holding hands and smiling. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She thought they were very sweet.
+Lily and Ben moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Lily wanted to find her toys and books. Ben wanted to find his cars and trains.
+
+They opened a big box in their room. Inside, they saw a frame with a picture of their family. Mom and Dad smiled at them. Lily and Ben smiled back.
+
+"Look, it's us!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it's us. We are happy in our new house," Ben said.
+
+They took out the frame and put it on the wall. They liked the picture. It made them feel at home.
+
+They heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window. They saw a big truck with a dog. The dog barked and wagged its tail.
+
+"Wow, a truck and a dog!" Ben said.
+
+"Can we go and say hello?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, let's go," Ben said.
+
+They put on their shoes and ran outside. They met the truck driver and the dog. The truck driver was nice. He gave them a sticker and a candy. The dog was friendly. He licked their faces and played with them.
+
+Lily and Ben had fun with the truck and the dog. They made new friends in their new house. They were happy.
+Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. Tom has a big red car. Ben has a small blue car. They make sounds like engines when they push their cars on the floor.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Tom says. "My car is fast and strong. It can go anywhere."
+
+"Beep, beep, beep!" Ben says. "My car is smart and nice. It can talk to me."
+
+Tom and Ben race their cars around the room. They have fun. But then, Tom's car stops. It does not move. It does not make sounds.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom says. "What is wrong with my car?"
+
+Ben looks at Tom's car. He sees a black spot on the side. He touches it. It is sticky and dirty.
+
+"Your car has oil on it," Ben says. "Oil is bad for cars. It makes them sick."
+
+Tom is sad. He loves his car. He does not want it to be sick.
+
+"How can I make my car better?" Tom asks.
+
+Ben thinks. He remembers what his dad does when his car is sick. He has an idea.
+
+"You need to rub your car," Ben says. "Rubbing makes cars happy. It makes them feel good."
+
+"Rub my car?" Tom says. "How do I do that?"
+
+Ben shows Tom. He takes a cloth from his pocket. He dips it in water. He rubs the oil off Tom's car. He rubs it gently and carefully. He rubs it all over.
+
+"See?" Ben says. "Your car is clean now. It is shiny and bright. It is happy."
+
+Tom sees his car. He smiles. He rubs his car too. He rubs it with his hand. He rubs it with love.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Tom says. "You are a good friend. You are smart and nice. You are rich."
+
+"Rich?" Ben says. "What does that mean?"
+
+Tom does not know. He heard his mom say it once. He thinks it is a good word.
+
+"It means you have many cars," Tom says.
+
+Ben laughs. He does not have many cars. He only has one. But he likes his car. He likes Tom's car too. He likes to play with cars.
+
+"Okay," Ben says. "I am rich. You are rich too. We are rich in cars. And we are rich in friends."
+
+Tom and Ben hug. They are happy. They make sounds like engines again. They play with their cars. They are rich.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open the drawers and the cupboards and take out the things inside. They liked to make noise and mess.
+
+One day, Mom was very busy. She had to work on her laptop and talk on the phone. She told Tom and Sam to be quiet and not to touch anything in the kitchen. She said she would be back soon.
+
+But Tom and Sam did not listen. They went to the kitchen and saw a big sack on the table. They wondered what was inside. They decided to open it and find out.
+
+They pulled and tugged at the sack. It was very difficult. They used all their strength. They did not hear Mom coming back.
+
+Suddenly, the sack ripped open. Out came a lot of flour. It flew everywhere. It covered Tom and Sam and the table and the floor and the walls. It made a huge cloud of white dust.
+
+Mom saw the mess and was very angry. She shouted at Tom and Sam. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they had to clean up everything. She said they had no more playtime today.
+
+Tom and Sam felt very sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not opened the sack. They wished they had not played in the kitchen.
+Anna liked to swing on the big rope in the attic. The attic was a fun place with many old things to look at. She found the rope in a box with some books and a hat. She tied the rope to a beam and made a loop for her feet. She felt happy when she swung back and forth in the air.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to swing higher and faster. She pushed herself hard with her legs and let go of the rope with her hands. She flew like a bird and laughed. But then she saw the wall coming closer and closer. She was scared and tried to grab the rope again. But it was too late. She hit the wall with a loud thud and fell to the floor.
+
+Anna cried and rubbed her head. It hurt a lot. She heard her mom and dad running up the stairs. They saw her on the floor and ran to her. They hugged her and asked her what happened. Anna told them about the rope and the wall. They said she was brave and lucky. They put some ice on her head and took her downstairs. They said she could not swing in the attic anymore. It was too dangerous. Anna was sad, but she understood. She said she was sorry and hugged them. They said they loved her and gave her a kiss. They said she could swing on the swing set in the yard instead. Anna smiled and said okay. She still liked to swing, but not too high or too fast.
+Tom is a cheerful boy who likes to draw. He has many colors of ink to make pictures with. He draws cars, animals, flowers and more. He is very good at drawing.
+
+One day, he wants to draw a big rainbow. He looks for his red ink, but he cannot find it. He looks under his bed, in his closet, on his desk, but no red ink. He is sad. He needs red ink to make a rainbow.
+
+He goes to his mom and asks, "Mom, do you have red ink? I want to draw a rainbow, but I have no red ink."
+
+His mom smiles and says, "I have red ink, Tom. I use it to write notes. You can borrow it, but be careful. Red ink can make a mess."
+
+She gives him the red ink and a paper. Tom says, "Thank you, mom. You are very nice." He hugs her and runs to his room.
+
+He draws a big rainbow with the red ink and the other colors. He is happy. He shows his mom his picture. She says, "Wow, Tom, what a beautiful rainbow. You are very talented."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, mom. I love you." He gives her his picture. She says, "I love you too, Tom. And I love your picture. I will put it on the fridge."
+
+They are both cheerful. They hug and kiss. Tom goes back to his room to draw more pictures. He is careful with the red ink. He does not make a mess. He is a good boy.
+Sara and Tom were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to roll the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they rolled the ball very fast and hard, and it made a noisy sound when it hit the ground.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He wanted to play with Sara and Tom, but they did not want to share their ball. They said, "This is our ball. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sad and lonely. He sat on a bench and watched Sara and Tom roll the ball. He wished he had a friend to play with.
+
+Suddenly, Sara rolled the ball too hard and it flew over Tom's head. It landed on the road, where a big car was coming. Sara and Tom were scared. They did not want to lose their ball, but they did not want to get hurt by the car.
+
+Ben saw what happened. He ran to the road and grabbed the ball. He threw it back to Sara and Tom, just before the car passed by. He saved their ball, but he hurt his nose. It was bleeding.
+
+Sara and Tom ran to Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben! You are very brave and kind. We are sorry we were mean to you. Do you want to play with us and our ball?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Yes, I do. I like to play with the ball. And I like to make new friends."
+
+Sara and Tom took Ben to the water fountain and cleaned his nose. Then they played with the ball together. They had fun and they learned to share and be nice to others.
+Lila and Sam love to play at the beach. They like to run in the sand, splash in the water, and build castles. One day, they see some big kids with boards. The big kids run into the water and stand on the boards. They ride on the waves. Lila and Sam think that looks fun.
+
+"Can we try that?" Lila asks Sam.
+
+"Sure, let's go ask them," Sam says.
+
+They run to the big kids and ask if they can borrow their boards. The big kids are nice and say yes. They show Lila and Sam how to hold the boards and wait for the waves. They tell them to drop the boards when they see a big wave and lie on them. They say that is called surf.
+
+Lila and Sam are excited. They hold their boards and watch the water. They see a big wave coming. They drop their boards and lie on them. The wave pushes them fast. They feel the wind and the spray. They laugh and shout. They surf.
+
+They surf for a long time. They have so much fun. They thank the big kids and give them back their boards. They run to their mom and dad and tell them what they did.
+
+"We surfed!" Lila and Sam say.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing!" their mom and dad say. "You are very brave and clever!"
+
+Lila and Sam smile. They are happy. They love to surf.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big bird on the table. It was brown and had a red thing on its neck.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's a turkey," Ben said. He had heard mom say that before.
+
+"What is a turkey?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben tried to explain. "It's a bird that people eat on a special day. Mom is going to cook it in the oven."
+
+Lily looked at the turkey. She felt sorry for it. She did not want to eat it. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Can we play with it?" she asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. Mom said it's delicate. That means it can break easily. We have to leave it alone."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She climbed on a chair and reached for the turkey. She wanted to hug it and pet it.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Ben shouted. "You'll make mom angry!"
+
+But it was too late. Lily grabbed the turkey and pulled it off the table. The turkey was heavy and slippery. It fell to the floor with a loud thud. The red thing came off and rolled away.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped. They knew they were in trouble. They heard mom coming. They hid under the table and hoped she would not see the mess. But mom saw everything. She was very angry. She scolded them and sent them to their room. She said they had ruined the turkey and the special day.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They wished they had listened to Ben. They learned that some things are not for playing. They learned that delicate means you have to be careful.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside in summer. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and liked to chase balls.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big castle in the sandbox. They used buckets, shovels and sticks to shape the sand. They worked hard and had fun. They made towers, walls and a bridge. They pretended to be a king and a queen who lived in the castle.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was Spot, who had found a hose and turned it on. He was spraying water everywhere, making a big mess. He ran towards the sandbox and jumped on the castle. He knocked it down and ruined it. He also got Tim and Lily very wet and dirty.
+
+"Spot, no!" Tim shouted. "Bad dog! You broke our castle!"
+
+"Go away, Spot!" Lily cried. "You are so scary and mean!"
+
+Spot did not understand. He thought they were playing. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to play more.
+
+Tim and Lily were very angry and sad. They ran inside the house and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties. Spot didn't mean to ruin your castle. He just wanted to have fun. He loves you very much."
+
+She took them to the bathroom and helped them wash their faces, hands and clothes. She said, "It's okay to be upset, but don't be too mad at Spot. He is still a puppy and he is learning. Maybe you can teach him how to play nicely with your sandbox."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They felt better after washing. They put on dry clothes and went back outside. They saw Spot sitting by the hose, looking sad. He had stopped spraying water.
+
+They walked up to him and said, "Hi, Spot. We are sorry we yelled at you. We know you didn't mean to be scary and mean. You are a good dog and we love you too."
+
+They petted him and gave him a ball. They said, "Do you want to play with us? We can play catch or tag or hide and seek. But please don't play with our sandbox. That is for making castles, not for jumping on."
+
+Spot barked happily. He understood. He took the ball and ran after them. They played together and had fun. They forgot about the ruined castle and the wet mess. They were happy again. It was a good summer day.
+Anna likes to hop. She hops in the park, she hops in the house, she hops in the bed. She has a purple zipper on her jacket. She likes to zip and unzip it. It makes a funny sound.
+
+One day, she hops to the store with her mom. She sees a big bunny in the window. The bunny is soft and white. It has a purple zipper on its belly. Anna wants the bunny. She tugs on her mom's hand.
+
+"Mom, mom, look! A bunny! A purple zipper bunny! Can I have it, please?"
+
+Mom smiles and bends down. She sees the price tag on the bunny. It is too much money. She shakes her head.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. The bunny is very nice, but it is too expensive. We can't buy it today. Maybe another time."
+
+Anna feels sad. She likes the bunny so much. She wants to hug it and hop with it. She pouts and crosses her arms.
+
+"No, no, no! I want the bunny now! It is my bunny! It has a purple zipper like me!"
+
+Mom sighs and tries to calm Anna down. She hugs her and kisses her cheek.
+
+"Anna, I know you love the bunny, but we have to go. We have other things to buy. How about we get you a sticker instead? You can choose any sticker you want."
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes stickers too. She sees a sticker with a hoppy frog. It is green and shiny. She smiles and nods.
+
+"OK, mom. I want the frog sticker. It is hoppy like me. And it has a zipper too!"
+
+Mom laughs and buys the sticker. She puts it on Anna's jacket, next to the purple zipper. Anna is happy. She hops out of the store with her mom. She says bye to the bunny.
+
+"Bye, bye, bunny. Maybe I'll see you again. You are very nice. But I have a frog sticker now. And I have my mom. And I can hop, hop, hop!"
+Lily loved her duck toy. She took it everywhere with her. She hugged it, kissed it, and talked to it. Her duck toy was rare. It had pink feathers and a purple beak. Lily's mom said she found it in a special shop.
+
+One day, Lily and her duck toy went to the park. She played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. She had a lot of fun. But then, something bad happened. A big dog ran up to Lily and grabbed her duck toy. It bit it and tore it. Lily screamed and cried. The dog ran away with her duck toy.
+
+Lily's mom came and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find your duck toy and fix it. It will be okay." She looked around and saw the dog. It had dropped the duck toy near a tree. She ran and picked it up. It was dirty and ripped. Lily's mom said, "Oh, poor duck. It's hurt. But we can fix it. Come on, let's go home."
+
+At home, Lily's mom got a needle and some thread. She sewed the duck toy's feathers and beak. She washed it and dried it. She gave it back to Lily. Lily smiled and hugged her duck toy. It looked almost like new. Lily's mom said, "There you go, honey. Your duck toy is fixed. It's still rare and beautiful. And it loves you very much." Lily said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. I love you and my duck toy." She kissed them both and went to bed with her duck toy. She was happy.
+Lily liked to dance. She danced every day in her room. She had a big show at school. She wanted to do her best.
+
+But Tom did not like Lily. He was mean. He wanted to make Lily sad. He had a plan.
+
+The day of the show came. Lily was ready. She wore a pretty dress. She smiled. Tom was there. He said, "Lily, I have a test for you. Can you dance with this?" He gave Lily a big balloon. It was red and shiny.
+
+Lily was confused. She said, "Why do I need a balloon?" Tom said, "It is a fun game. Trust me. You will look great."
+
+Lily did not want to be rude. She took the balloon. She went on the stage. The music started. Lily tried to dance. But the balloon was too big. It got in her way. It bounced and popped. It made a loud noise. Lily was scared. She dropped the balloon. She fell down. She hurt her knee. She cried.
+
+The other kids laughed. Tom laughed the most. He said, "You are a bad dancer, Lily. You are silly. You are a clown."
+
+Lily was very sad. She ran away. She did not want to dance anymore. She hated Tom. She hated the balloon. She hated the show.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys and read her books. But Mom said it was bedtime and she had to lay in her bed. Mom gave her a kiss and a hug and said good night.
+
+Lily lay in her bed, but she could not sleep. She looked at the moon and the stars out of her window. She listened to the sounds of the night. She heard an owl hoot and a dog bark. She felt bored and lonely.
+
+She got out of her bed and went to the kitchen. She saw a teaspoon on the table. She picked it up and pretended it was a microphone. She sang a song in a loud voice. She sang about the moon and the stars and the owl and the dog. She had fun.
+
+But then she heard Mom's footsteps. Mom came to the kitchen and saw Lily with the teaspoon. Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You should be sleeping. It is very late. Give me the teaspoon and go back to your bed."
+
+Lily felt sad. She gave Mom the teaspoon and said sorry. She followed Mom to her room. Mom tucked her in and said, "Lily, I love you, but you need to sleep. Sleeping is good for you. It helps you grow and learn and be healthy. Tomorrow you can play and sing and have fun. But now, please close your eyes and sleep."
+
+Lily nodded and closed her eyes. She felt tired and sleepy. She thought about her song and her teaspoon. She smiled and said, "Good night, Mom. I love you too." She fell asleep and had sweet dreams.
+Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked like a temple. It had stairs, windows, and a roof. They wanted to go on the slide, but there was a problem. The slide had two paths that split at the top. One path was red and the other was blue.
+
+"Let's go on the red path," said Lila. "It looks more fun."
+
+"No, let's go on the blue path," said Sam. "It looks faster."
+
+They could not agree on which path to choose. They started to argue and push each other. They were not being nice.
+
+A lady who worked at the park saw them and came over. She had a kind smile and a whistle.
+
+"Hello, children," she said. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"We want to go on the slide, but we don't want the same path," said Lila.
+
+"Well, why don't you take turns?" said the lady. "One of you can go on the red path first, and then the other can go on the blue path. Or you can go together and split at the top. That way, you can both have fun and be fair."
+
+Lila and Sam thought about it. They realized that the lady was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to go together and split at the top. They thanked the lady for her help and ran to the slide.
+
+They climbed the stairs, reached the roof, and sat on the slide. They looked at each other and smiled. They were grateful for their friendship and for the slide. They shouted "whee!" and slid down the paths. They had a lot of fun. They learned to share and to be kind. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with long hair. She liked to brush their hair and make them pretty. But one day, she saw a big bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. She thought it would make her dolls' hair even prettier.
+
+She took the bottle and went to her room. She poured some shampoo on each doll's head. She rubbed it with her hands. She made bubbles and foam. She giggled and said, "You are so clean and shiny now!"
+
+But then, she heard her mom's voice. "Lily, what are you doing? Why are you making such a mess?" Mom came into the room and saw the shampoo and the dolls. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, this is not how you play with your dolls. You have ruined their hair. Shampoo is for washing your own hair, not your dolls'. And you have to rinse it off with water, not leave it dry. Look, their hair is sticky and tangled now. How will you fix this?"
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to ruin her dolls. She just wanted to make them prettier. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I thought shampoo was good for dolls. Can you help me fix them?"
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I'll try, Lily. But you have to promise me not to do this again. And you have to clean up this mess. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and see what we can do. Maybe we can release some of the shampoo with water and a comb. But some of your dolls might need a haircut. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I promise not to do this again. I love my dolls. I don't want to hurt them." She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+Sara and Ben are twins who like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill covered with snow. They want to slide down the hill on their sleds. They put on their coats, hats, gloves and boots and run to the hill.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Sara shouts as she pushes her sled. Ben follows her and they zoom down the hill. They feel the cold wind on their faces and the snowflakes in their hair. They laugh and scream as they slide faster and faster.
+
+But at the bottom of the hill, there is a pond. The pond is frozen and has a thin layer of ice on top. Sara and Ben do not see the pond until it is too late. Their sleds hit the ice and crack it. They fall into the icy water and get wet and cold.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara and Ben cry. They try to swim to the edge of the pond, but the water is too cold and they are too scared. They pause and look at each other. They are in trouble.
+
+Luckily, their mom hears their cries and comes to the rescue. She runs to the pond and pulls them out of the water. She wraps them in a big blanket and hugs them. She is glad they are safe, but she is also angry.
+
+"What were you thinking?" she asks them. "You know you are not supposed to go near the pond. It is dangerous. You could have drowned or got sick. You were very naughty and foolish."
+
+She gives them a lecture about the rules and the risks of playing near the pond. She tells them they have to go home and change their clothes and drink some hot cocoa. She also tells them they are grounded and cannot play outside for a week.
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry and ashamed. They nod and say they are sorry. They promise to listen to their mom and never go near the pond again. They hope their mom will forgive them and love them. They also hope the pond will melt soon and they can play on the hill again.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big toy car that can drive. They want to drive it together.
+
+They take the toy car to the park. They see a pond with ducks. The ducks are swimming and quacking. Tom and Sue think the ducks are funny. They want to drive the toy car near the pond.
+
+But the toy car is too fast. It goes out of control. It bumps into a duck. The duck is scared and hurt. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Sue are scared too. They stop the toy car.
+
+They run to the duck. They say sorry to the duck. They pet the duck gently. The duck feels better. It quacks softly. Tom and Sue feel better too. They give the duck some bread. The duck eats the bread. It is warm and happy.
+
+Tom and Sue learn a lesson. They learn to be careful with their toys. They learn to be kind to animals. They drive the toy car away from the pond. They play with the ducks from a distance. They have fun and make new friends.
+Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a big red ball in the sandbox. They both ran to get it, but they got there at the same time.
+
+"It's mine!" Tom shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Jen yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the ball, but neither of them would let go. They started to fight and scream, making a lot of noise.
+
+A fierce dog heard them and came running. He saw the ball and wanted it too. He barked and growled, showing his sharp teeth. He jumped on Tom and Jen, making them drop the ball. He grabbed it in his mouth and ran away.
+
+Tom and Jen were scared and hurt. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had shared the ball instead of fighting over it.
+
+A kind lady saw them and came to help. She had a band-aid and a cookie for each of them. She also had a small blue ball that she gave them.
+
+"Here you go, children. This is for you to play with. But remember, sharing is caring. If you want to have fun, you have to settle your fights and be nice to each other. Fighting only leads to trouble. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Jen nodded and said sorry to each other. They thanked the lady and took the blue ball. They decided to share it and play together. They learned their lesson and never fought over toys again.

+
+Lily's mom said, "First, we need to take all the ingredients out and put them on the table. That's the first step."
+
+Lily helped her mom mix the ingredients together. Then, they put the cake in the oven and waited for it to finish baking. 
+
+When the cake was done, Lily's mom said, "Wow, it looks so lovely! Let's put some icing on it."
+
+Lily helped her mom spread the icing on the cake. Then, they sat down and enjoyed their delicious chocolate cake together.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play hide and seek with her friends. One day, Lily was playing with her friends in the park when she saw a human sitting alone on a bench. The human looked sad and lonely.
+
+Lily went up to the human and asked, "Why are you sad?" The human replied, "I am waiting for my friend, but they are always late and it makes me impatient."
+
+Lily had an idea. She said, "Why don't you play hide and seek with us? It's a fun game that will make you happy and forget about your impatience." The human smiled and agreed to play.
+
+After a few rounds of hide and seek, the human's friend finally arrived. The human thanked Lily and said, "You taught me that being patient is important, but having fun with friends is even more important."
+
+Lily learned that helping others can make them happy and that everyone needs a friend to play with.

The market was very busy with lots of people and animals. Pinky's mommy would request things from the vendors and they would give her what she needed. 
+
+One day, Pinky and her mommy went to the market and it was very dirty. There was trash all over the ground and it smelled bad. Pinky didn't like it, but her mommy told her they still needed to get what they needed from the market. They walked carefully through the dirty market and Pinky held her mommy's hand tightly. 
+
+Finally, they found what they were looking for and Pinky's mommy requested it from the vendor. The vendor gave it to her and they walked back home, holding hands and happy to have what they needed. Pinky learned that even when things are dirty and smelly, sometimes you still need to go to the market and ask for what you need.
+Once upon a time, there was a little squirrel named Nutty. Nutty was very polite and always said "please" and "thank you". One day, Nutty found a big acorn and decided to sail it down the river. Nutty put the acorn in the water and jumped on top of it. The acorn started to sail down the river with Nutty on top. Nutty was having so much fun sailing on the acorn that he forgot to look where he was going. Suddenly, Nutty saw a big rock in front of him. Nutty tried to turn the acorn, but it was too late. Nutty and the acorn crashed into the rock and Nutty fell into the water. Nutty was okay, but he was sad that he lost his acorn.

+"Look, Ben, there is an island!" Lily said, pointing to a pile of dirt. "Maybe there is gold and jewels there. Let's go and dig!"
+
+They jumped out of the box and ran to the dirt. They used their hands and sticks to make holes. They found some rocks, shells and a shiny bottle cap.
+
+"Wow, this is a great treasure!" Ben said, holding the bottle cap. "We should take it back to our ship and load it in a barrel."
+
+"Good idea!" Lily said. "But we need a barrel first. Where can we find one?"
+
+They looked around and saw a huge barrel near the fence. It was bigger than them and had a lid on top. They ran to the barrel and tried to lift it.
+
+"It's too heavy!" Lily said, grunting.
+
+"Maybe we can roll it!" Ben said, pushing the barrel. "Come on, help me!"
+
+They pushed and pushed, but the barrel did not move. It was stuck in the mud.
+

+
+"Dad, Dad, we need your help!" they said, jumping up and down.
+
+"What is it, kids?" Dad said, smiling.
+
+"We are playing pirates and we found a treasure, but we need a barrel to load it in, and there is a huge barrel in the backyard, but it's too heavy and stuck, and we can't move it, and we want to take it to our ship, and..." they said, talking very fast.
+

+
+"Thank you, Dad!" they said, taking the sandwich and eating it quickly.
+
+"Are you ready?" Dad said, wiping their mouths.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" they said, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the backyard.
+
+They showed Dad the treasure and the barrel. Dad lifted the lid and looked inside.
+
+"Hmm, this barrel is full of water. That's why it's so heavy and stuck." Dad said, shaking his head.
+
+"Can you empty it, Dad?" Ben said, hoping.
+
+"Sure, I can. But it might be a bit messy. Are you OK with that?" Dad said, smiling.
+
+"Yes, yes, we don't mind!" they said, clapping.
+
+"OK, then. Stand back and watch." Dad said, tipping the barrel over.
+
+The water spilled out of the barrel, making a big splash and a puddle. The kids laughed and cheered.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Lily said, jumping in the puddle.
+
+"Now the barrel is empty and light. We can roll it to your ship." Dad said, standing the barrel up.
+
+"Yay, thank you, Dad!" they said, hugging him.
+
+They rolled the barrel to the box and put the treasure inside. They closed the lid and thanked Dad again.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Have fun with your pirate game. But don't forget to clean up when you're done." Dad said, waving and going back to the house.

+
+"Hi, Lily. What do you want to play?" he asked.
+
+"I want to show you my yellow dress. Do you like it?" Lily said.
+
+Tom looked at her dress and nodded. "It is very nice. You look like a princess. But why do you wear a dress? It is cold outside. You need a coat and a hat and gloves."
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, I don't. I am not cold. I am clever. I have a secret."
+
+Tom was curious. "What is your secret?"
+
+Lily lifted her dress and showed him. Under her dress, she wore a sweater and pants and socks and boots. She had dressed up in layers.
+
+Tom laughed. "You are very clever, Lily. You can wear your yellow dress and be warm too. Can I show you my secret too?"
+
+Lily nodded. Tom lifted his shirt and showed her. Under his shirt, he wore a superhero costume. He had dressed up as a hero.

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox.
+
+"Let's go to the slide!" Lily says. She runs to the slide and climbs up. She slides down fast and laughs.
+
+"Let's go to the swing!" Ben says. He runs to the swing and pushes it. He swings high and low and smiles.
+
+"Let's go to the sandbox!" Lily says. She runs to the sandbox and picks up a shovel. She digs and makes a castle.
+
+"Let's take a photo!" Ben says. He runs to his mom and asks for her phone. He wants to take a photo of Lily and her castle.
+
+But Lily is lazy. She does not want to move. She says, "No, I don't want to take a photo. I want to stay here and play."
+
+Ben is sad. He says, "But Lily, we are friends. We should share our fun. A photo is a good way to remember our fun. Please, come and take a photo with me."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers that Ben is her friend. She remembers that he played with her on the slide and the swing. She says, "OK, Ben, you are right. A photo is a good idea. I will come and take a photo with you."
+
+Lily and Ben run to Ben's mom. They smile and hug. Ben's mom takes a photo of them. They look at the photo and say, "Wow, we look happy!"
+
+Lily and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that being lazy is not good. They learn that being kind and sharing is good. They learn that a photo is a nice way to keep a memory. They are happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw something shiny in the grass. She went to see what it was. It was a fairy!
+
+The fairy was very small and had wings. She was trapped in a jar. She looked sad and scared. Lily wanted to help her. She opened the jar and let the fairy out.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the fairy said. "You are very kind. I will give you a wish. What do you want?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked to play with her dolls. She wished they could talk to her. "I want my dolls to talk to me," she said.
+
+The fairy nodded. She waved her wand and said some words. Lily felt a tingling in her hand. She looked at her doll. It started to talk!
+
+"Hello, Lily," the doll said. "I am your friend. Let's play together."
+
+Lily was very happy. She hugged her doll and thanked the fairy. The fairy smiled and flew away.
+
+But soon, Lily found out that her wish was not so good. Her doll talked too much. It talked all the time. It talked when Lily wanted to sleep. It talked when Lily wanted to eat. It talked when Lily wanted to watch TV. It talked when Lily wanted to play with other toys. It talked and talked and talked.
+
+Lily got very tired of her doll. She wished it would stop talking. She wished she had not made that wish. She wished she had been more careful. She felt foolish.
+
+She tried to find the fairy. She looked in the garden. She looked in the grass. She looked in the jar. But the fairy was gone. She had flown away.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not know what to do. She hoped the fairy would come back. She hoped she could change her wish. She hoped she could play in the garden again. She hoped she could be happy again.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big kangaroo with a baby in her pouch. They wanted to say hello to the kangaroo and the baby.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The kangaroo looked at Lily and Max. She said, "My name is Roo. And this is my baby, Joey. We are from Australia. We are here to visit our cousins."
+
+Lily and Max were surprised. They did not know kangaroos could talk. They thought it was very unusual.
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Max said. "How do you do that?"
+
+Roo smiled. She said, "We can talk to anyone who is kind and friendly. We like to make new friends. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were happy to play with Roo and Joey. They ran and jumped and laughed together.
+
+But then, they heard a loud snap. It was a man with a big net. He wanted to catch Roo and Joey. He was not kind or friendly. He was mean and greedy.
+
+"Run, Roo, run!" Lily and Max shouted. "He wants to take you away!"
+
+Roo and Joey ran as fast as they could. They dodged the net and hopped away. Lily and Max followed them. They helped them find a safe place to hide.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Max," Roo said. "You are very brave and good. You are our friends. We will never forget you."
+
+Lily and Max hugged Roo and Joey. They said, "You are welcome, Roo. You are our friends, too. We will never forget you, either."
+
+They said goodbye to Roo and Joey. They hoped they would see them again someday. They went back to the park. They told their mom and dad about their unusual adventure. They were very proud of themselves. They had made new friends and saved them from danger. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and had a big treasure. They used a lamp as their treasure. The lamp was pretty and shiny. It had many colors on it.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was angry. She said, "Who broke my vase? It was very old and special. Come here now!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they broke the vase. They were playing with a ball and it hit the vase. The vase fell and broke. They were scared. They did not want to get in trouble.
+
+They panicked. They did not know what to do. They thought, maybe they could hide. They grabbed the lamp and ran to the closet. They hoped their mom would not find them.
+
+But their mom was smart. She saw the ball and the broken vase. She saw the lamp was gone. She followed the cord to the closet. She opened the door and saw Lily and Ben.
+
+They looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We broke your vase. We did not mean to. We were playing with the lamp. It is pretty. Can we keep it?"
+
+Their mom sighed. She was not happy. But she loved Lily and Ben. She said, "You should not break things. You should be careful. And you should not hide. You should tell the truth. The lamp is not yours. It is mine. But I will let you play with it sometimes. If you are good. And if you help me clean up this mess."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We are sorry. We will help you. We will be good. We love you."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "I love you too. Now, come on. Let's go."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. One day, they found a shiny stone that sparkled in the sun. It was a diamond, but they did not know that.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara said, holding the stone in her hand. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Ben asked, reaching for the stone.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sara said, pulling the stone away. "I found it first!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to see the stone too. He thought Sara was not being nice. He tried to grab the stone from Sara, but she ran away.
+
+"Give it back!" Ben shouted, chasing Sara.
+
+"Stop it!" Sara shouted, running faster.
+
+They ran around the park, making a lot of noise. They did not see the man who was watching them from a bench. He had a big hat and a long coat. He had a bad smile on his face. He knew that the stone was a diamond, and he wanted it for himself. He thought that the children did not value the diamond, and he did not care about them.
+
+He got up from the bench and followed the children. He waited for a chance to snatch the diamond from Sara's hand. He was not worried about being caught. He thought that no one would believe the children if they told.
+
+But he was wrong. There was someone who saw him and knew what he was doing. It was a policeman who was patrolling the park. He saw the man's bad smile and his long coat. He saw him following the children and reaching for the diamond. He knew that the man was a thief, and he cared about the children.
+
+He ran after the man and caught him by the arm. He took the diamond from his hand and gave it back to Sara. He told the man that he was under arrest, and he called for backup. He told the children that they were safe, and he asked them where their parents were.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared and confused. They did not understand what had happened. They did not know that the stone was a diamond, or that the man was a thief, or that the policeman was a hero. They only knew that they had found a pretty stone, and that they had fought over it, and that they had made a big mess.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they had been silly and mean. They decided to share the stone and be friends again. They thanked the policeman for helping them, and they hugged each other. They learned that the stone was not as important as their friendship, and that they should value each other more.

+
+One day, Lila saw a big pile of clay near the river. She wanted to collect it all. She did not share with her friends. She said, "This is my clay. Go away." Her friends were sad. They went to play with something else.
+
+Lila tried to make a big castle with the clay. But the clay was too wet and heavy. It fell down. Lila was angry. She tried again and again. But the clay always fell down. Lila was tired and unhappy.
+
+She looked around. She saw her friends having fun with sticks and stones and leaves. They made a bridge and a boat and a hut. They laughed and helped each other. Lila felt lonely. She wished she had played with them.
+
+She went to her friends and said, "I am sorry. I was greedy. Can I play with you?" Her friends smiled and said, "Yes, of course. We are happy to share." Lila gave them some of her clay. They made clay flowers and stars and hearts. They put them on their bridge and boat and hut. They looked beautiful.
+
+Lila learned that sharing is better than collecting. She felt successful and happy. She had fun with her friends. They all liked her clay things. And she liked their stick and stone and leaf things. They were all good at making things. They were all friends.
+Sara liked to play dress-up. She had many clothes and hats and shoes in her big box. She liked to wear different things and pretend to be someone else. Sometimes she was a doctor, sometimes a teacher, sometimes a princess.
+
+One day, she found a new suit in her box. It was black and white and had a big button. She put it on and looked in the mirror. She felt very smart and important. She decided to be a lawyer, like her dad. She took a book and a pen and went to the living room.
+
+There, she saw her brother Tom playing with his cars. He had a lot of cars and he made loud noises with them. Sara did not like the noise. She wanted him to be quiet. She said, "Tom, I am a lawyer and I have a case. You have to stop playing with your cars. They are too noisy and they bother me."
+
+Tom looked at her and laughed. He did not care about her suit or her book or her pen. He said, "You are not a lawyer, you are a silly girl. You cannot tell me what to do. I can play with my cars as much as I want. They are fun and they make me happy."
+
+Sara felt angry and sad. She did not like Tom's words. She wanted him to be nice and listen to her. She said, "Tom, you are not nice. You are mean and rude. You have to be nice or I will sue you. I will take you to court and the judge will say you are wrong and I am right."
+
+Tom laughed even more. He did not believe her. He said, "You cannot sue me, you are a silly girl. You do not know what sue means. You do not know what court means. You do not know what judge means. You are just playing dress-up and you are silly."
+
+Sara felt very angry and very sad. She did not like Tom's words at all. She wanted to show him that she was not silly and that she knew what she was talking about. She had an idea. She ran to her dad's office and opened the door. She saw her dad sitting at his desk, wearing a suit like hers. He was a real lawyer and he had a real case. He looked very busy and serious. Sara said, "Dad, I need your help. I want to sue Tom. He is not nice and he does not listen to me. He plays with his cars and he makes too much noise. He laughs at me and he calls me silly. Can you help me, please?"
+
+Her dad looked at her and smiled. He saw her suit and her book and her pen. He saw her face and her eyes. He knew she was playing dress-up and he knew she was not silly. He said, "Sara, you are very cute and very smart. You look like a lawyer and you talk like a lawyer. But you are not a lawyer, you are my daughter. And Tom is not your enemy, he is your brother. You do not need to sue him, you need to love him. He is not mean and rude, he is just playing and having fun. He does not laugh at you, he laughs with you. He does not call you silly, he calls you funny. You are both funny and you are both nice. You do not need a case, you need a hug. Come here, let me hug you."
+
+Sara felt happy and warm. She liked her dad's words. She liked his smile and his hug. She said, "Dad, you are very nice and very wise. You are a lawyer and you are my dad. I love you and I love Tom. I do not want to sue him, I want to play with him. Can I play with his cars and he can play with my clothes?"
+
+Her dad said, "Of course, you can. That sounds like a good idea. But first, let me take a picture of you. You look very cute and very smart in your suit. You are my little lawyer and I am very proud of you."
+
+Sara smiled and posed for the picture. She felt very cute and very smart. She was not a lawyer, but she was a good daughter and a good sister. She was happy and she was nice.
+Tom is a lazy boy. He does not like to help his mom. He likes to play with his toys and watch TV. One day, his mom asks him to get a cloth and wipe the table. Tom says, "No, I do not want to. I want to play."
+
+His mom is not happy. She says, "Tom, you are lazy. You need to help me. Get a cloth and wipe the table now. Or you will not get any snack."
+
+Tom does not listen. He runs to his room and slams the door. He plays with his toys and forgets about the cloth and the table.
+
+His mom is very angry. She goes to his room and knocks on the door. She says, "Tom, open the door. You are in trouble. You did not get a cloth and wipe the table. You are lazy and rude."
+
+Tom is scared. He knows his mom is right. He says, "I am sorry, mom. I will get a cloth and wipe the table. Please do not be mad at me."
+
+His mom opens the door and hugs him. She says, "I love you, Tom. But you need to learn to help me. Get a cloth and wipe the table. Then you can have a snack and play."
+
+Tom nods. He gets a cloth and wipes the table. He says, "I am sorry, mom. I will not be lazy again."
+
+His mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good boy. Here is your snack. Enjoy your play."
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted pizza for dinner. But Mom said no. She said they had to eat soup and salad. Anna and Ben did not like soup and salad. They wanted cheese and pepperoni and sauce.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we have pizza?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we have to eat healthy. Pizza is for special days," Mom said.
+
+"But we had soup and salad yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that," Ben said.
+
+"I know, honey, but we have to save money. Pizza is too expensive. Maybe next week we can have pizza," Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They did not want to wait for next week. They wanted pizza now. They had an idea. They waited for Mom to go to the bathroom. Then they grabbed their coats and shoes. They ran out of the door. They saw a pizza place across the street. They saw a man with a big sack. The sack had pizza boxes in it. The man was going to deliver the pizzas to other people.
+
+"Hey, mister, can we have some pizza?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sorry, kids, these pizzas are not for you. They are for my customers. You have to pay for pizza," the man said.
+
+"But we don't have any money. We are very hungry. Please, mister, just one slice," Ben said.
+
+The man shook his head. He put the sack in his car. He locked the door. He started the engine. He drove away. Anna and Ben were angry. They wanted to take the sack. They wanted to eat the pizza. They ran after the car. They shouted and waved. But the car was too fast. They could not catch it.
+
+Anna and Ben were tired. They stopped running. They looked around. They did not know where they were. They did not see their home. They did not see Mom. They saw many cars and people and buildings. They were scared. They were anxious. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had eaten soup and salad. They wished they had not run away. They wished they had pizza.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cage with a tiger inside. The tiger is very still and does not move.
+
+"Look, a tiger!" Tom says. He runs to the cage and tries to touch the tiger.
+
+"Tom, no! It is dangerous!" Sam says. He follows Tom and pulls him away.
+
+"Why is it dangerous?" Tom asks. He wants to see the tiger up close.
+
+"Because it can bite you and hurt you. It is a wild animal, not a pet." Sam says. He knows tigers are not friendly.
+
+"But it does not bite. It does not even answer when I say hello. Maybe it is dead." Tom says. He is curious and sad.
+
+"No, it is not dead. It is sleeping. It sleeps a lot because it is bored and sad. It does not like to be in a cage. It wants to be free in the jungle." Sam says. He feels sorry for the tiger.
+
+"Can we free it?" Tom asks. He likes to help animals.
+
+"No, we can't. It is not our tiger. It belongs to the zoo. They take care of it and feed it. If we free it, it will get lost and scared. It will not know how to find food and water. It will not be happy." Sam says. He is smart and knows a lot.
+
+"Oh, I see. Then I hope it wakes up soon and plays with us. Maybe it will answer then." Tom says. He smiles and waves to the tiger.
+
+"Maybe. But we have to be careful and quiet. We don't want to scare it or make it angry. We have to respect it and love it." Sam says. He hugs Tom and they watch the tiger together.
+Tom and Lily were playing with balloons in the park. They liked to blow them up and let them go. The balloons flew fast in the air and made funny noises.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a big red balloon!" Tom said. "It is bigger than yours!"
+
+Lily had a small yellow balloon. She felt sad. She wanted a big balloon too. She saw a big blue balloon on the ground. It was near a big dog.
+
+"Tom, can I have that balloon?" Lily asked, pointing to the blue one.
+
+"No, Lily, that is not your balloon. That is the dog's balloon. He will be angry if you take it." Tom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran fast to the blue balloon. She picked it up and tried to cover it with her hands. She wanted to hide it from the dog.
+
+But the dog saw her. He barked loud and ran fast to Lily. He wanted his balloon back. He jumped on Lily and bit her hand. The balloon popped. Lily cried loud and dropped the balloon.
+
+Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He was scared. He called for help. A man came and took Lily to the doctor. The doctor gave her a bandage and a lollipop. But Lily was still sad. She lost her balloon and her hand hurt.
+
+Tom was sorry. He wished he had given Lily his red balloon. He learned to share and to listen. He hoped Lily would be happy again.

+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to give their ball and bike. They say, "No, they are ours. We are playing with them. Go away."
+
+The big boy gets angry. He pushes Lily and Ben to the ground. He takes their ball and bike. He laughs and says, "Too bad for you. They are mine now. You are weak and silly."
+
+Lily and Ben are hurt and sad. They cry and call for help. But no one hears them. No one comes to help them. The big boy rides away with their ball and bike. He does not care. He does not reply.
+
+Lily and Ben have no ball and bike. They have no fun. They have no friend. They have a bad day.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her big sister Mia. Mia had many clothes and hats and shoes that Lily could try on. One day, Lily found an orange cushion in Mia's room. It was soft and round and had a hole in the middle.
+
+Lily put the cushion on her head and said, "Look, Mia, I wear a crown!"
+
+Mia laughed and said, "That's not a crown, silly. That's a cushion. A crown is shiny and has jewels on it."
+
+Lily did not care. She liked the cushion. She said, "I am a princess and you are my servant. You have to do what I say."
+
+Mia played along and said, "Yes, your majesty. What do you want me to do?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "I want you to make me a cake. A big cake with icing and sprinkles and candles."
+
+Mia said, "Okay, I will make you a cake. But you have to share it with me."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, I will share it with you. But only if you wear a cushion too."
+
+Mia smiled and said, "Deal." She picked up another cushion and put it on her head. Then they went to the kitchen to make a pretend cake. They had fun playing dress-up with cushions.

+
+"OK, Lily. I will help you. I like your idea. It sounds fun." Ben says. He picks up some blocks and follows Lily.
+
+They find a good spot on the floor and start to build the house. They use many blocks of different colors and shapes. They make walls, windows, doors, and a roof. They also make a garden with flowers and trees.
+
+"Wow, Lily. Your house is very big and pretty. I like it." Ben says. He puts his dolls inside the house.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You support me and my idea. I like your dolls too. They are sweet." Lily says. She hugs Ben and smiles.
+
+They play with the house and the dolls for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big truck. Sam has a small car. They want to race their toys.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tom says. He pushes his truck fast. Sam pushes his car faster. They zoom across the floor.
+
+"Wow, your car is strong!" Tom says. He sees Sam's car pass his truck. He tries to catch up.
+
+"No, your truck is strong!" Sam says. He sees Tom's truck get closer. He tries to speed up.
+
+They reach the end of the floor. They stop their toys. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Who won?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know," Sam says.
+
+They shrug. They don't care. They are happy.

+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups. Ben had a fake wallet that he found in the trash. He said it was full of money. Lily had a fake phone that she made from a cardboard box. She said it could call anyone.
+
+"Let's go to the store and buy some candy," Ben said. He showed Lily his fake wallet. "I have a lot of money."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. She grabbed her fake phone. "But first, let me call Mommy and tell her where we are."
+
+She pressed some buttons on her fake phone and put it to her ear. "Hi, Mommy," she said. "Ben and I are going to the store. We will be back soon. Bye."
+
+She hung up her fake phone and smiled at Ben. "Let's go," she said.
+
+They walked to the store, holding hands. They saw a lot of candy on the shelves. Ben opened his fake wallet and took out some paper. He gave it to the man behind the counter. "We want some candy, please," he said.
+
+The man looked at the paper and frowned. "This is not money," he said. "This is fake. You can't buy anything with this."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad. They wanted some candy. They didn't know their paper was fake.
+
+"Please, sir, can we have some candy?" Lily asked. She gave the man her best smile.
+
+The man shook his head. "No, you can't. You have to pay with real money. Now go away."
+
+Ben and Lily turned around and walked out of the store. They felt very sad. They didn't have any candy. They didn't have any real money.
+
+They sat on a bench and hugged each other. "I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I thought my wallet was real. I wanted to buy you some candy."
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Lily said. "I don't need candy. I have you. You are my best friend."
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. Then they kissed each other on the cheek. They felt happy again. They didn't need candy. They had each other. They had love.

+
+"Let's go in the fog!" Lily said. "It looks like fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "But don't go too far. We might get lost."
+
+They ran into the fog and laughed. They could not see anything but fog. They felt like they were in a cloud.
+
+"Where are you, Lily?" Ben called.
+
+"I'm here, Ben!" Lily answered. "Can you see me?"
+
+She waved her hand in the air. She hoped Ben would see her.
+
+But Ben did not see her. He saw a big car. It was coming fast. It did not see Ben. It was too foggy.
+
+"Look out, Ben!" Lily screamed.
+
+But it was too late. The car hit Ben. He fell down. He did not get up.
+
+Lily ran to Ben. She cried. She waved her hand again. She wanted help. But no one came. It was too foggy.
+Anna and Ben were curious about the big train. They wanted to see it up close and hear its loud sound. They saw many people with tickets in their hands, waiting to get on the train. Anna and Ben did not have tickets, but they had a plan.
+
+They waited until the train man was busy talking to someone. Then they ran to the train and jumped inside. They found an empty seat and sat down. They smiled at each other. They were on the train!
+
+The train started to move. It went faster and faster. Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw the trees and houses go by. They felt excited and happy. They did not notice the train man coming to check the tickets.
+
+The train man stopped at their seat and asked for their tickets. Anna and Ben did not have any. They tried to hide, but the train man saw them. He was angry and shouted at them. He said they were naughty and had to get off the train.
+
+He took them by the hand and dragged them to the door. He opened the door and pushed them out. Anna and Ben fell on the ground. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cried and screamed. The train man did not care. He closed the door and the train went away.
+
+Anna and Ben were alone and scared. They did not know where they were or how to get back home. They wished they had never gone on the train. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. They learned a hard lesson. Being curious can be dangerous.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big pond with water. They want to do something fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, water!" Anna says. "Can we go there?"
+
+"Yes, Anna, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the pond. They see ducks and fish in the water. They see stones and sticks on the ground.
+
+"Let's do this, Anna!" Ben says. He picks up a stone and throws it in the water. Splash! The water makes a sound. The ducks swim away.
+
+"That's fun, Ben!" Anna says. She picks up a stick and throws it in the water. Splash! The water makes a sound. The fish swim away.
+
+They do this again and again. They laugh and clap. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is the park keeper. He is not happy.
+

+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the stones and sticks. They run away from the pond. They say sorry to the park keeper. They do not want to do that again. They go to the swings and slide. They play there. They are still friends.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to wander. They wandered in the park, in the mall, and in the woods. They did not listen to Mom and Dad, who told them to stay close and be careful.
+

+
+Then, they saw a kind lady who was walking her dog. The lady saw them and asked them if they needed help. She was generous and gave them some water and cookies. She also called Mom and Dad and told them where they were.

+
+But the queen woke up and saw him. She shouted for help and ran after him. The bad man ran to the main door and tried to lock it. But he did not know that the key had two sides. One side could lock and the other side could unlock. He used the wrong side and unlocked the door instead.
+
+The queen and the guards caught him and took the key back. They locked the bad man in a small room. The queen and the people were safe and happy. They thanked the queen for being kind and brave. They gave her a big hug and a crown of flowers. The queen smiled and said, "I love you all."

+
+"Can I touch them, mom? Can I hug them, dad?" Lily asks. She wants to be close to the pandas.

+
+"But I love pandas, dad. I want to be their friend." Lily says. She feels sad.
+
+"I know, Lily, but pandas are not pets. They need a lot of space and care. They are happy in the zoo, where they have food and water and other pandas. You can be their friend by respecting them and learning about them." Mom says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She understands that mom and dad are right. She still loves pandas, but she doesn't want to hurt them or make them angry. She decides to make a request.
+
+"Mom, dad, can I have a panda sticker, please?" Lily asks. She sees a gift shop near the panda enclosure. She hopes they have panda stickers.

+
+"Look, Max, a ladybug!" Lily said. She ran to a red and black bug on a leaf. She put out her hand and the bug crawled on it. "It is so pretty and shiny. Do you want to see?"
+
+"No, thank you," Max said. He stayed away from the bug. He saw a big ant on the ground. He kicked it with his foot. "Go away, ant. You are ugly and mean."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like what Max did. She brought the ladybug to him. "Max, you should not hurt bugs. They are living things, like us. They are delicate. They can feel pain and fear. You should be kind to them."
+
+Max looked at the ladybug on Lily's hand. He saw its tiny legs and wings and spots. He felt a little sorry for the ant he kicked. He did not know bugs could feel. He touched the ladybug gently with his finger. It tickled him. He smiled.
+

+Tom and Lily liked to play in the big house. They liked to run and hide and find new rooms. One day, they found a door with a shiny key. Tom wanted to see what was inside. Lily said no, it was not their door. But Tom did not listen. He took the key and opened the door.
+
+Inside, there was a big bed and a lot of toys. Tom and Lily were happy. They jumped on the bed and played with the toys. They did not hear the footsteps coming up the stairs. They did not see the angry face of the man who lived in the room.
+
+The man opened the door and saw Tom and Lily. He was very mad. He yelled at them and told them to get out. He said they were bad and naughty. He grabbed the key and locked the door behind them. He said they could not play in the big house anymore.

+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They said they were sorry to the man. The man was still mad, but he forgave them. He said they could play in the big house, but not in his room. He said they should respect his things and his privacy. He said he would give them some of his toys if they were good.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and promised to be good. They were happy to play in the big house again. They were careful to avoid the door with the shiny key. They did not want to make the man mad again. They did not want to feel guilty again.

+One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his dog, Spot. He wears his green suit and a hat. He sees a girl on the swing. She has a pink dress and a bow in her hair. Tom thinks she is pretty.
+
+He walks up to her and says, "Hi, I'm Tom. I'm a teacher. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The girl looks at him and smiles. She says, "Hi, I'm Lily. I'm a princess. I like your suit. It's very nice."

+
+The lady nodded and took her phone. She dialed a number and talked to someone. Then she smiled at Anna and said. "Don't worry, sweetie. Mommy is coming soon. And so is a doctor. They will make Ben feel better."
+
+Anna thanked the lady and ran back to Ben. She hugged him and said. "It's okay, Ben. Mommy is coming. And a doctor too. They will fix your arm. I'm sorry the rope broke. I love you, Ben."
+
+Ben hugged her back and said. "I love you too, Anna. You are a good sister. Thank you for getting help."
+Sara was playing with her bike in the park. She liked to go fast and feel the wind on her face. But she did not see the big rock on the path. She hit the rock and fell off her bike. She hurt her arm and cried. Her mom ran to her and hugged her.
+
+Mom took Sara to the doctor. The doctor was nice and gave her a sticker. He said he needed to take a picture of her arm. He called it an x-ray. He said it would not hurt. He put her arm on a table and put a big machine over it. He told her to stay still and smile. Sara was scared, but she did what he said.
+
+The doctor looked at the x-ray and said Sara had a broken bone. He said he needed to put a cast on her arm. He said it would help her arm heal. He said she could choose the color of the cast. Sara chose pink. The doctor wrapped her arm with a soft cloth and then with a hard one. He said she had to wear the cast for a few weeks.
+
+Sara felt sad and sore. She could not play with her bike or her dolls. She could not draw or write. She could only watch TV and read books. She thought it was terrible. She missed her bike and her friends.
+
+But Sara was not alone. Her mom and dad cared for her. They gave her hugs and kisses. They made her soup and cookies. They read her stories and sang her songs. They told her she was brave and strong. They said they loved her very much.
+
+Sara felt better. She knew her arm would heal soon. She knew her mom and dad cared for her. She smiled and said she loved them too. She said she was lucky to have them. She said she would be careful next time.
+Sara and Ben like to play outside. They have a big yard with a wide slide and a swing. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is very friendly and likes to run and jump with them.
+
+One day, it was very cloudy and dark. Sara and Ben heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They were scared and ran inside the house. Spot followed them. They heard the rain start to fall. It was very heavy and noisy.
+
+"Mom, can we play outside?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, it is not safe. The rain is too strong and there might be more thunder and lightning. You can play inside until the rain stops." Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad. They liked the rain, but they did not like the thunder and lightning. They looked for something to do inside. They found some books, some toys, and some crayons. They tried to have fun, but they missed the slide and the swing.
+
+Spot was sad too. He liked to play outside with Sara and Ben. He did not like the rain, but he did not mind the thunder and lightning. He wanted to run and jump with them. He looked out the window and saw the rain. He saw a puddle. He wanted to splash in the puddle.
+
+Spot saw that Mom was busy in the kitchen. He saw that Sara and Ben were not looking. He saw that the door was open. He decided to sneak outside. He ran to the puddle and jumped in. He felt the water on his fur. He felt happy.
+
+But then he felt something else. He felt a sharp pain on his paw. He looked down and saw a piece of glass. It was from a broken bottle. It had cut his paw. He saw blood. He felt scared. He cried out.
+
+Sara and Ben heard Spot's cry. They ran to the window and saw him. They saw the glass. They saw the blood. They felt worried. They ran to the door and called Mom.
+
+"Mom, Mom, Spot is hurt! He has a glass in his paw! He is bleeding!" Sara and Ben shouted.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the door. She saw Spot. She saw the glass. She saw the blood. She felt sorry. She ran to Spot and picked him up. She brought him inside and put him on a towel. She took the glass out of his paw. She cleaned his wound. She wrapped a bandage around it. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Spot, you are a silly dog. You should not go outside when it is raining. You could get hurt. You need to stay inside and be safe. You need to heal." Mom said.
+
+Spot looked at Mom. He looked at Sara and Ben. He wagged his tail. He licked their faces. He felt sorry. He felt loved. He felt better.
+
+The rain stopped. The sun came out. The sky was blue. Sara and Ben saw a rainbow. They smiled. They asked Mom if they could play outside.
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful. And take Spot with you. He needs some fresh air and some fun. But don't let him splash in the puddles. He needs to keep his bandage dry. He needs to heal." Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They took Spot with them. They went to the yard. They played on the slide and the swing. They had fun. Spot had fun too. He ran and jumped with them. He did not splash in the puddles. He kept his bandage dry. He healed.
+Lila wanted to help her mother bake a cake. She put on her apron and climbed on a chair. She saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar on the table.
+
+"Can I help you, mother?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear. You can help me crack the eggs. Be careful, they are fragile," mother said.
+
+Lila took an egg and tapped it on the edge of the bowl. She tried to open it, but it slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. She heard a splat and saw a mess.
+
+"Oh no, I'm sorry, mother. I dropped the egg," she said.
+
+"That's okay, Lila. Accidents happen. Don't worry, we have more eggs. But you have to step away from the mess. We don't want you to slip and hurt yourself," mother said.
+
+She took a cloth and wiped the floor. Then she gave Lila another egg and showed her how to crack it gently and pour it into the bowl.
+
+"Good job, Lila. You are a great helper. Now we can add the flour and the sugar and mix them well. Then we can put the batter in the pan and bake the cake. It will be delicious," mother said.
+
+Lila smiled and nodded. She liked to help her mother bake a cake. She thought her mother was very generous and kind. She hoped the cake would make her mother happy.
+Lily loved to play in the garden with her daddy. He was very kind and showed her how to plant seeds and water them. He also told her stories about the flowers and the bugs that lived there. Lily liked to smell the roses and watch the bees.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big brown spot on one of the roses. She asked her daddy what it was. He said it was rot. He said rot was when something got sick and died. He said rot could spread to other flowers and make them sick too. He said they had to cut off the rot and throw it away.
+
+Lily felt sad for the rose. She asked her daddy if he could get rot too. He said no, he was healthy and strong. He said he would always take care of her and the garden. He hugged her and kissed her cheek.
+
+The next day, Lily woke up and ran to the garden. She wanted to see her daddy and the flowers. But when she got there, she saw something terrible. Her daddy was lying on the ground, not moving. His face was pale and his eyes were closed. He had a big brown spot on his chest. He had rot.
+
+Lily screamed and cried. She did not understand. How could her daddy get rot? He said he was healthy and strong. He said he would always take care of her and the garden. He said he loved her.
+
+But he was gone.
+Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look at the big pictures on the wall. The big pictures had words and colors and people. Sam and Lily called them billboards.
+
+One day, they saw a new billboard. It had a picture of a dog and a cat. The dog and the cat looked happy. The billboard said: "Be friends with animals. They need your love." Sam and Lily loved animals. They wanted to be friends with them.
+
+They saw a man near the billboard. He had a bucket and a brush. He was painting the billboard. He was making the dog and the cat look sad. He was painting red on them. He was painting words on them. The words said: "Animals are bad. They make you sick. Stay away from them."
+
+Sam and Lily did not like the man. They did not like what he was doing. They wanted to stop him. They ran to him. They shouted at him. They said: "Stop! Stop! You are mean! You are wrong! Animals are good! Animals are nice! We love animals!"
+
+But the man did not hear them. He did not look at them. He did not stop. He kept painting. He was deaf. He could not hear anything. He did not know that Sam and Lily were there. He did not know that they were angry. He did not know that he was making a big mistake.
+
+Sam and Lily did not know that he was deaf. They did not know why he did not listen. They did not know what to do. They felt sad and helpless. They wished they could pay him to stop. They wished they could make him understand. They wished they could save the animals. But they could not. They could only watch and cry.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. They are very intelligent. They can count to ten and name many animals.
+
+One day, they see a big TV in the living room. It is shiny and black. They want to watch it. They ask their mom.
+
+"Mom, can we watch TV?" Lily says.
+
+"TV is not for little kids. TV is for grown-ups. TV has big words and scary things. You can watch TV when you are older." Mom says.
+
+"But we are intelligent. We can understand big words. We are not scared of anything." Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles. She knows her twins are smart and brave. But she also knows TV is not good for them. She has a better idea.
+
+"How about we read a story instead? I have a new book for you. It has pictures and rhymes. It is about a cat and a hat. Do you want to read it with me?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They love stories. They think stories are more fun than TV. They run to the couch and cuddle with Mom. Mom opens the book and starts to read. Lily and Ben listen and laugh. They are happy. They are intelligent. They are learning.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red automobile that they could ride inside. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places and having adventures.
+
+One day, they decided to drive to the park and have a picnic. They packed some sandwiches, apples, and juice in a basket and put it in the back of the automobile. They also brought their teddy bears and a blanket. They put on their hats and sunglasses and started the engine.
+
+"Beep beep! Here we go!" Ben said, turning the steering wheel.
+
+"Yay! I love the park!" Lily said, waving to their mom, who was watching them from the porch.
+
+They drove along the sidewalk, past the flowers, the trees, and the birds. They saw some other children playing with balls, bikes, and dolls. They smiled and said hello to them.
+
+They reached the park and parked their automobile near a big slide. They got out and carried their basket and blanket to a shady spot under a tree. They spread the blanket and set the basket on it. They took out their sandwiches and apples and shared them with their teddy bears.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily said, taking a bite of her sandwich.
+
+"It is! Mom made them for us. She is very thoughtful," Ben said, sipping his juice.
+
+They finished their picnic and thanked their mom in their hearts. They packed their basket and blanket and carried them back to the automobile. They put them in the back and got ready to drive home.
+
+"Did you have fun, Lily?" Ben asked, buckling his seat belt.
+
+"I did, Ben! Thank you for driving me to the park. You are very thoughtful, too," Lily said, hugging her teddy bear.
+
+They drove back home, singing songs and telling stories. They parked their automobile in the garage and ran to their mom, who gave them a big hug and a kiss.
+
+"I'm so proud of you, Ben and Lily. You are very thoughtful and polite. You can play with your automobile anytime you want," she said, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, Mom! We love you!" they said, giving her a hug and a kiss back.
+
+They went inside and played with their other toys until it was time for bed. They brushed their teeth, put on their pajamas, and cuddled with their teddy bears. They said good night to each other and to their mom, who tucked them in and turned off the light.
+
+They closed their eyes and dreamed of their next adventure with their big red automobile.
+Sam and Mia were playing with paper. They liked to fold it and make shapes. Sam made a plane and Mia made a hat. They showed each other their paper shapes and smiled.
+
+"Look, I can fly my plane!" Sam said. He threw his paper plane in the air and watched it soar. "Wow, that's a good plane!" Mia said. She put her paper hat on her head and pretended to be a queen. "And I am a famous queen!" she said.
+
+They heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. They saw flashes of light in the sky. It was lightning. They felt scared and ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is thunder and lightning!" Sam said. "Can we hide under the blanket?" Mia asked.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. Thunder and lightning are just sounds and lights. They can't hurt you. They are part of the weather. Sometimes the sky makes noise and flashes. It's okay."
+
+She took them to the couch and covered them with a soft blanket. She read them a story and sang them a song. They felt safe and cozy. They forgot about the thunder and lightning. They fell asleep with their paper shapes in their hands.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck makes a loud sound: ding-ding-ding!
+
+"Mom, can we have ice-cream?" Sara asks.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "OK, but only one each. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes chocolate, but she also likes strawberry. She does not know what to choose.
+
+Ben is very intelligent. He has an idea. He suggests, "Why don't we share? I can have half of your ice-cream and you can have half of mine. Then we can taste both flavors!"
+
+Sara likes Ben's idea. She says, "That's a good idea, Ben! You are very smart!"
+
+Mom agrees. She says, "That's a very nice way to share, Ben. You are very kind!"
+
+They go to the truck and ask for one chocolate and one strawberry ice-cream. The man gives them two big cones. Ben breaks his cone in half and gives one half to Sara. Sara does the same. They swap their ice-cream halves and lick them happily.
+
+They enjoy their ice-cream and thank the man. They go back to the park and play some more. They are very happy. They love ice-cream and they love each other.
+Lily liked to play with her dad's computer. It had many buttons and colors and sounds. She wanted to learn how to use it, but her dad said it was not for kids. He said it was his work tool and very fancy and expensive. He told her to play with her own toys and not touch his computer.
+
+One day, Lily saw her dad leave his computer on the table and go to the kitchen. She thought he would not mind if she looked at it for a little bit. She climbed on a chair and reached for the computer. She pressed some buttons and saw pictures and words on the screen. She felt very smart and happy.
+
+But then, she heard her dad come back. He saw her with his computer and got very angry. He shouted at her and took the computer away. He said she could have broken it or deleted his work. He said he had mentioned many times not to touch his computer. He said she was in big trouble and sent her to her room.
+
+Lily felt very sad and sorry. She did not mean to make her dad mad or hurt his computer. She just wanted to learn and have fun. She wished she had listened to him and played with her own toys. She hoped he would forgive her and love her again. She cried in her room and waited for him to come.
+Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek in the park. They take turns to hide and seek. Anna is good at hiding. She can find original places to hide, like behind a big rod or under a leaf pile. Ben is good at seeking. He can run fast and look everywhere.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek with their friend Leo. Leo is new to the park. He does not know all the good hiding places. Anna says, "I will hide first. You two count to ten and then seek me." She runs away and finds a big rod. She hides behind it and waits.
+
+Ben and Leo count to ten and then start to seek. They look under the swings, behind the trees, and in the sandbox. They cannot find Anna. They wonder where she is. They call her name, but she does not answer. They start to feel worried.
+
+They keep looking and looking. They see a big rod. They think maybe Anna is behind it. They run to the rod and peek behind it. They see Anna. She is smiling. She says, "You found me! I hid behind the rod. It was an original place, right?"
+
+Ben and Leo nod. They say, "Yes, it was. You are good at hiding, Anna. But we are good at seeking, too. We did not give up. We found you at last." They all laugh and hug. They are happy. They decide to play again. They take turns to hide and seek. They have fun in the park.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big bag of rice in the kitchen. They wanted to use the rice to make a castle. They took some rice and put it on a tray. Then they marched to the living room with the tray.
+
+But on the way, they bumped into their mom. The rice spilled all over the floor. Mom was angry. She said, "You are wasting food! Some people have no rice to eat. You should be grateful for what you have. Now clean up this mess and go to your room."
+
+Tom and Sam felt sorry. They did not know that rice was so important. They helped mom to sweep the rice and put it back in the bag. Then they went to their room and thought about what they did.
+
+They decided to do something nice for mom. They made a card with crayons and wrote, "We love you, mom. We are sorry for the rice. We are grateful for you." They gave the card to mom and hugged her. Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you, too, boys. Thank you for the card. I forgive you for the rice. Next time, ask me before you take something from the kitchen."
+
+Tom and Sam learned a lesson. They learned to respect food and to be grateful for their mom. They also learned to say sorry and to make up. They never played with rice again. They played with blocks and toys instead. They were happy and good brothers.

+
+They run to their mom and tell her about the enormous ball. She smiles and follows them to the garden. She tells them it is not a ball, but a pumpkin. She says they can pick it and make a pie.

+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barked and licked Lily's face. She giggled and petted him. Tom came closer and smiled.
+
+"Can we play with you, dog?" Tom asked.
+
+The dog barked again and nodded. He ran to a tree and picked up a stick. He brought the stick to Lily and Tom. They threw the stick and the dog fetched it. They played fetch for a long time.
+
+Then they saw some mist. The mist was white and soft and cold. It came from the sky and covered the park. They could not see the trees or the slide or the dog.
+
+"Where did the dog go?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Dog, where are you?"

+They heard a bark. The bark came from the mist. They followed the bark and found the dog. The dog was happy to see them. He had a mark on his fur. The mark was red and wet.
+
+"What is that, dog?" Lily asked. "Did you hurt yourself?"
+
+The dog whimpered and licked his mark. He had cut himself on a sharp rock. Lily and Tom felt sorry for him. They hugged him and said:
+
+"Don't worry, dog. We will help you. We will find your home and your people. They will make you better."
+
+They took the dog by his collar and walked through the mist. They looked for a house or a car or a sign. They hoped to find the dog's home and his people. They wanted the dog to be happy and safe. They liked the dog and the dog liked them. They were friends.

+
+"Mama, mama!" they yelled. "There is thunder and lightning outside! We are scared!"
+
+Mama came to the living room and hugged them. She smiled and said, "Don't be scared, my loves. Thunder and lightning are just part of the weather. They can't hurt you inside the house. They are like a big show in the sky. Do you want to watch the show with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They cuddled with mama on the couch and watched the thunder and lightning outside. They saw the orange lightning flash and the thunder boom. They counted how long it took for the thunder to come after the lightning. They learned that the farther the lightning was, the longer it took for the thunder to come.
+
+After a while, the thunder and lightning stopped. The rain slowed down and the clouds cleared. They saw a rainbow in the sky. It had many colors, like red and orange and yellow and green and blue and purple.
+
+"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Lily and Ben said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Mama smiled and said, "Yes, it is. The rainbow is a gift from the sky after the storm. It is a sign of hope and happiness. Do you like the rainbow?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the rainbow. They felt happy and safe with mama. They thanked the sky for the show and the gift. They went back to playing with their blocks. They made a rainbow with the blocks. They were not scared of the thunder and lightning anymore. They were brave and curious.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to dream. He dreamed of flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, and exploring the jungle. He dreamed of having many friends and going on adventures. But Tom was not happy. He lived in a small room with no windows. He had no toys, no books, no games. He only had a bed and a blanket.

+One night, Tom had a special dream. He dreamed that a fairy came to his room and said, "Hello, Tom. I am here to help you. You are a brave and patient boy, and you deserve to be free. Follow me, and I will show you the way out." Tom was surprised and happy. He got up from his bed and followed the fairy. She led him to a secret door behind the wall.

+
+Tom thanked the fairy and ran through the door. He found himself in a beautiful garden. There were flowers and trees and birds and butterflies. There were children and animals and toys and books.

He felt free and loved and safe. He never wanted to go back to his room.
+
+But then, he heard a loud and angry voice. It was his uncle. He had found the secret door and followed Tom. He shouted, "Tom, you little rat! How dare you run away from me! Come back here, or I will punish you!" He grabbed Tom by the arm and tried to drag him back to the door. Tom was scared and sad. He did not want to leave his dream. He cried, "No, no, please, let me go! I don't want to go with you! I want to stay here! Help, help!"
+
+The other children and the fairy heard Tom's cry. They ran to help him. They pushed and pulled and kicked and bit the uncle. They shouted, "Leave Tom alone! He is our friend! He belongs here! Go away, you mean and ugly man!" The uncle was surprised and angry. He could not fight them all. He let go of Tom and ran back to the door. He slammed the door behind him and locked it. He was gone.
+
+Tom hugged the other children and the fairy. He said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved me! You are my heroes! You are my family!" They hugged him back and said, "You are welcome, Tom. We love you! You are our brother! You are our family!" They smiled and cheered and danced. They celebrated Tom's escape and his new life. They lived happily ever after in their dream.

+
+The man chases them. He shouts, "Come back here! Give me back my toys!"
+
+But the boat is faster than the man. The boat goes far away. The man cannot catch them.

He is hungry and wants to eat Princess Lily."
+
+Lily did not like Ben's story. She said, "No, Rex. You cannot eat Princess Lily. She is my friend. You have to be nice to her." Ben said, "But Rex is a dinosaur. He does not care about friends. He only cares about food. Watch out, Princess Lily. Rex is coming for you." He made the dinosaur run towards the doll.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want Rex to hurt her doll. She said, "Stop, Ben. Stop. That is not a nice game. You are being mean." She tried to grab the doll, but Ben was faster. He reached the doll first and made the dinosaur bite the skirt. The skirt ripped and the doll fell to the ground.
+
+Lily cried. She said, "Ben, you destroyed my doll. You ruined her skirt. She is not pretty anymore. You are a bad brother. I don't want to play with you anymore." She ran to the house with the doll in her arms.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He said, "Lily, wait. I'm sorry. I was just playing. I did not mean to destroy your doll. I can fix her skirt. Please come back.

+One day, grandma has a surprise for Anna. She gives her a big egg with a ribbon on it. Anna is very happy. She thanks grandma and hugs her. She wonders what is inside the egg. She shakes it gently and hears a sound.
+
+Anna is curious. She wants to open the egg. But it is not easy. The egg is hard and smooth. She tries to crack it with her hands, but it does not work. She tries to hit it with a spoon, but it does not work. She tries to roll it on the table, but it does not work.
+
+Anna is frustrated. She does not know how to open the egg. She asks grandma for help. Grandma smiles and says, "You have to be patient, my dear. This is a special egg. It will open by itself when it is ready. You just have to wait and watch."
+
+Anna is confused. She does not understand how an egg can open by itself. She puts the egg on her lap and stares at it. She waits and waits. She is bored. She is about to give up, when she sees a tiny crack on the egg. She gasps and leans closer. She sees a little beak poking out of the crack. She hears a soft peep. She realizes that there is a baby chick inside the egg. She is amazed and delighted. She receives a new friend from grandma. She names the chick Lily and loves her very much.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom on the floor and on the sofa. They pretend they are racing drivers.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a car on it. They open the box and see a shiny red car. It has four wheels, a steering wheel, and a horn. It is a car for children. They are very happy.
+
+"Wow, look at this car!" Ben says. "It is so cool!"
+
+"Can we ride it?" Sam asks.
+
+"Yes, let's try it!" Ben says.
+
+They push the car out of the garage and into the garden. They take turns to sit in the car and drive it. The car can go fast and slow. It can go left and right. It can make a loud beep with the horn. They zoom around the garden and have fun.
+
+They see their dog, Rex, lying on the grass. Rex is a big dog with rough fur and sharp teeth. He likes to chase things. He sees the car and thinks it is a toy. He jumps up and runs after the car.
+
+"Rex, no!" Ben shouts. "This is our car, not your toy!"
+
+But Rex does not listen. He barks and tries to bite the car. He scratches the car with his claws. He makes the car dirty and broken.
+
+"Stop, Rex, stop!" Sam cries. "You are ruining our car!"
+
+They try to drive away from Rex, but he is faster. He catches up with the car and grabs the back wheel with his mouth. He pulls the car and makes it stop. He shakes the car and makes it fall over.
+
+Ben and Sam fall out of the car. They are not hurt, but they are scared and sad. They look at their car and see it is ruined. The wheel is torn, the paint is scratched, and the horn is broken. They feel like crying.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" they yell at Rex.
+
+Rex drops the wheel and looks at them. He does not understand why they are angry. He thinks he was playing with them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He wants to be friends.
+
+Ben and Sam push Rex away. They do not want to play with him. They pick up their car and carry it back to the garage. They hope their dad can fix it. They are very sad.
+
+They learn a lesson. They should not leave their toys where Rex can find them. Rex is a good dog, but he does not know how to play with cars. He likes to play with meat and bones. They decide to give him a big bone as a sorry gift. They hope he will like it. They hope he will not chase their car again.
+Tom was a clumsy boy. He liked to play with his toys, but he often broke them or made a mess. His mom and dad were not happy with him. They told him to be careful and to clean up his room.
+
+One day, Tom saw a sign in the park. It said "Free sausages for kids". Tom loved sausages. He ran to the sign and followed the arrow. He did not see the big hole in the ground. He fell into the hole and hurt his leg.
+
+Tom cried and cried. He wanted his mom and dad. He wanted a sausage. He was hungry and scared. He looked up and saw a man. The man had a big bag of sausages. He smiled and said "Hello, little boy. Do you want a sausage?"
+
+Tom nodded. He thought the man was nice. He did not know the man was bad. The man was a thief. He had stolen the sausages from the store. He had put the sign in the park to trick the kids. He wanted to take the kids to his house and lock them up.
+
+The man reached out his hand and said "Come with me. I have more sausages for you." Tom took his hand and tried to get out of the hole. He did not see the police car behind the trees. He did not hear the siren. He did not know he was saved.
+Tommy and Lily were at the supermarket with their mom. They liked to look at all the different things on the shelves. Tommy saw a big white thing that looked like a flower. He pointed at it and asked, "Mom, what is that?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is a cauliflower, Tommy. It is a kind of vegetable that you can eat. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He liked to try new things. He reached for the cauliflower, but Lily stopped him. She said, "No, Tommy, you can't have that. It is expensive. Mom said we have to save money. You can have a carrot instead. Carrots are good for you."
+
+Tommy frowned. He did not like carrots. He wanted the cauliflower. He said, "But I want to try it, Lily. It looks yummy. And it is not expensive. It is only one dollar."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tommy, it is not one dollar. It is one dollar per pound. That means you have to pay one dollar for every part of the cauliflower that you weigh. This cauliflower is very big and heavy. It will cost a lot of money. More than we have. Mom will be mad if you take it."
+
+Tommy did not understand what Lily meant by pound. He did not know how to weigh things. He only knew how to count. He said, "But I can count, Lily. Look, there is a number on the cauliflower. It says four. That means it is four dollars. We have four dollars. Mom gave us four dollars to buy a treat. We can buy the cauliflower as our treat."
+
+Lily sighed. She tried to explain to Tommy that the number on the cauliflower was not the price, but the weight. She said, "No, Tommy, that is not how it works. The number on the cauliflower is how much it weighs. It weighs four pounds. That means you have to multiply four by one to get the price. Four times one is four. But we don't have four dollars. We have two dollars each. Two plus two is four. But we can't spend all our money on the cauliflower. We have to save some for other things. Like milk and bread and eggs. And maybe a candy or a sticker."
+
+Tommy did not like math. He did not like to multiply or add or save. He liked to eat and play and have fun. He said, "But I don't want milk and bread and eggs. And I don't want candy or stickers. I want cauliflower. It is my treat. And it is my money. I can do what I want with it. You can do what you want with your money. You can buy carrots or whatever you like. But I want cauliflower. And I will buy it."
+
+Lily did not like to argue with Tommy. She did not like to make him sad or angry. But she also did not like to waste money or food. She said, "Tommy, please, listen to me. Cauliflower is not a good treat. It is not sweet or crunchy or colorful. It is bland and mushy and white. You will not like it. You will take one bite and spit it out. And then you will have no money and no treat. And you will be sorry. And mom will be sorry. And I will be sorry. And the cauliflower will be sorry. Please, Tommy, be smart. Be nice. Be good. Put the cauliflower back. And let's find something else. Something we both like. Something that is not expensive. Something that will make us happy."
+
+Tommy looked at Lily. He looked at the cauliflower. He looked at his mom. He saw that his mom was busy talking to another mom. He saw that she did not see him or Lily or the cauliflower. He saw that he had a chance. He saw that he could do what he wanted. He saw that he could be naughty. He grabbed the cauliflower and ran to the cashier. He put the cauliflower on the counter and said, "I want to buy this. Here is my money. Four dollars. Thank you. Bye."
+
+Lily gasped. She ran after Tommy. She said, "Tommy, no, stop, come back. You can't do that. You can't buy the cauliflower. You can't be naughty. You can't be mean. You can't be bad. Mom will be mad. I will be mad. The cashier will be mad. The cauliflower will be mad. Please, Tommy, please, give it back. Give it back. Give it back."
+
+But it was too late. The cashier had already taken Tommy's money and given him the cauliflower. He said, "Thank you, little boy. Enjoy your cauliflower. Have a nice day."
+
+Tom
+Tom and Ben like to play with blocks. They build houses and cars and towers with the blocks. They pretend to be cops and catch bad guys. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big black dog in the park. The dog is barking and running. Tom and Ben are scared. They run to their blocks and hide behind them. They hope the dog will go away.
+
+But the dog does not go away. The dog sees the blocks and thinks they are toys. The dog runs to the blocks and knocks them down. He bites and chews the blocks. He makes a big mess.
+
+Tom and Ben are very sad. They cry and shout. "Stop, dog, stop! You are breaking our blocks! You are not a good dog! You are a bad dog!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. He keeps biting and chewing the blocks. He does not care about Tom and Ben. He only cares about the blocks.
+
+Tom and Ben have no more blocks. They have no more houses and cars and towers. They have no more cops and bad guys. They have no more fun. They only have a big black dog and a big mess. They are very unhappy. The end.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a brown top. The top can spin very fast and make a funny sound. Ben and Mia take turns to spin the top and watch it go.
+
+One night, Ben and Mia go to bed. They are very tired from playing all day. They hug their teddy bears and close their eyes. They dream of the brown top. In their dream, the top is very big and shiny. It can talk to them and tell them stories. The top says it can take them to a magic land, where they can see many wonderful things.
+
+Ben and Mia are very excited. They want to go with the top. They hold the top's hand and follow it. The top spins and spins and takes them to the magic land. There, they see a rainbow, a castle, a dragon, and a fairy. They have so much fun with the top and the new friends. They laugh and play and sing.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is calling them to wake up. It is morning. Ben and Mia open their eyes. They are in their bed. They look around. They do not see the top or the magic land. They only see their toys and their teddy bears.
+
+They are sad. They want to go back to their dream. They want to see the top and the magic land again. They tell their mom about their dream. Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says it was a very nice dream. She says they can keep the dream in their heart and remember it. She says they can also play with their brown top and pretend it is the same as the one in their dream.
+
+Ben and Mia feel better. They thank their mom and get ready for the day. They still love their brown top. They spin it and watch it go. They think of their dream and smile. They know they will dream of the top and the magic land again.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to balance on the logs and pretend they were acrobats. Anna was very good at balancing. She could stand on one foot and wave her arms. Ben was not so good. He often fell off and hurt himself.
+
+"Look at me, Ben!" Anna said. "I can balance like a star!"
+
+Ben looked at Anna and felt troubled. He wanted to balance like her, but he was scared. He tried to stand on the log, but he wobbled and lost his balance. He fell on the grass and started to cry.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked. She jumped off the log and ran to him. She saw a scratch on his knee and a tear on his pants.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I can't balance like you. I'm no good at anything."
+
+"That's not true, Ben," Anna said. She hugged him and wiped his tears. "You are good at many things. You are good at drawing and singing and telling jokes. You make me laugh and happy. You are my best friend."
+
+"Really?" Ben asked. He smiled a little.
+
+"Really," Anna said. She reached into her pocket and took out a medal. It was shiny and had a star on it. She had won it at school for being good at math. "Here, Ben. This is for you. You are a star, too."
+
+Ben looked at the medal and felt surprised. He took it from Anna and put it around his neck. He felt proud and happy.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Ben said. "You are very kind and smart and brave. You are my best friend, too."
+
+Anna and Ben hugged and smiled. They forgot about their troubles and went back to play. They decided to try something else, like sliding or swinging or jumping. They had fun and balanced each other. They were both stars.
+Lily liked to repeat what her big sister said. She thought it was fun to copy her words and sounds. Sometimes her sister got mad, but Lily did not care.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. Lily saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Her sister followed her and said, "Be careful, Lily. The slide is fast and steep."
+
+Lily repeated, "Be careful, Lily. The slide is fast and steep." She smiled and slid down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She liked the slide.
+
+She got up and ran to the ladder again. She wanted to slide more. Her sister said, "Let me go first, Lily. You already had your turn."
+
+Lily repeated, "Let me go first, Lily. You already had your turn." She pushed her sister and climbed up the ladder. Her sister got angry and shouted, "Stop repeating me, Lily. You are annoying!"
+
+Lily repeated, "Stop repeating me, Lily. You are annoying!" She slid down again. She did not see that her mom was watching them. She did not hear her mom say, "Lily, come here. You need to apologize to your sister."
+
+Lily got up and ran to the ladder again. She wanted to slide more. Her sister said, "Lily, mom is calling you. You are in trouble."
+
+Lily repeated, "Lily, mom is calling you. You are in trouble." She laughed and climbed up the ladder. She did not notice that everyone in the park was looking at her. She did not see that her mom was walking towards her. She did not feel that her sister was pulling her leg.
+
+Lily slid down again. But this time, she did not land on her feet. She landed on her bottom. She felt a pain in her tailbone. She felt a wetness in her pants. She had peed herself.
+
+Lily cried. She was hurt and wet and dirty. She was embarrassed. She wished she had not repeated her sister. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been nice. She said, "I'm sorry, sister. I'm sorry, mom. I won't repeat you anymore."
+One day, a mouse named Max was very hungry. He wanted to eat some cheese, but he did not have any at home. He saw a big sign that said "Pizza". He thought pizza had cheese on it, so he decided to go there.
+
+He walked to the pizza place and saw a lot of people. They were sitting at tables and eating pizza. He saw a man who had a hat and a shirt that said "Pizza". He thought the man could give him some pizza. He ran to the man and said, "Hello, I am Max. I want pizza, please."
+
+The man looked at Max and was very surprised. He said, "A mouse! A talking mouse! This is crazy! You cannot have pizza, you are a mouse. Go away, or I will call the cat!"
+
+Max was scared of the cat, but he was also very hungry. He said, "Please, please, give me some pizza. I will pay you with a coin. Look, I have a coin." He showed the man a shiny coin that he had found on the street.
+
+The man looked at the coin and was curious. He said, "A coin? Where did you get this coin? It looks very old and rare. Maybe it is worth a lot of money. Hmm, maybe I can make a deal with you. I will give you a slice of pizza, if you give me the coin. But you have to be quick, and don't let anyone see you. Do you agree?"
+
+Max nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I agree. Thank you, thank you, you are very nice." He gave the man the coin and took the slice of pizza. He ran to a corner and ate the pizza. It was very yummy and cheesy. He was very happy.
+
+The man looked at the coin and smiled. He thought he had made a good trade. He did not know that the coin was fake and made of plastic. He did not know that Max was a very clever and tricky mouse. He did not know that Max had ordered pizza many times before, with different coins and different hats. He did not know that Max was a crazy mouse.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they disagree. One day, they want to play with the same car. Sara says, "It is my turn. You had it before." Ben says, "No, it is my turn. You had it longer." They pull the car and shout at each other.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share. Why don't you play with something else?" Sara and Ben look at their toys. They see a ball, a doll, a book, and a puzzle. They think they are boring. They only want the car.
+
+Mom says, "If you can't share, you can't play. You have to sit on the bed and think about how to be nice." She takes the car and puts it on the shelf. She leaves the room. Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They sit on the bed and don't talk to each other.
+
+After a while, Sara feels sorry. She says, "Ben, I'm sorry. I was mean. Can we be friends?" Ben says, "I'm sorry, too. I was mean. Can we hug?" They hug and smile. They say, "We love each other. We don't want to disagree."
+
+They get off the bed and look at their toys. They see the ball, the doll, the book, and the puzzle. They think they are fun. They say, "Let's play together. We can take turns. We can have fun." They pick up the ball and start to play. Mom hears them and smiles. She says, "That's better. I'm proud of you." She gives them the car and says, "You can play with it later. But remember to share." Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom. We will." They hug Mom and play happily.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were on an adventure.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben said, zooming his car on the floor.
+
+"My doll is pretty and kind, she likes to sing and dance!" Lila said, rocking her doll in her arms.
+
+They were having fun, but they also made a mess. There were toys everywhere, and some of them were broken or dirty. Mom was not happy when she saw the living room.
+
+"Look at this mess, Lila and Ben! You need to clean up your toys and put them away. And what is this?" Mom said, picking up a rag that was torn and stained.
+
+"That's my rag, Mom. I use it to wipe my car when it gets dirty," Ben said.
+
+"Well, it's very dirty now, and so is your car. You need to wash them both. And Lila, your doll is missing an eye and a shoe. How did that happen?" Mom said.
+
+"I don't know, Mom. Maybe she was clumsy and fell down," Lila said.
+
+"Maybe you were clumsy and dropped her. You need to be more careful with your toys. They are not cheap, you know. And you need to fix them or throw them away. Now, help me clean up this mess, please," Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for making Mom angry. They wanted to make her happy again. They helped Mom pick up the toys and put them in a box. They also took the rag and the car and the doll to the bathroom. They washed the rag and the car with soap and water. They dried them with a towel. They found a button and a ribbon and sewed them on the doll's eye and shoe. They made the doll look pretty and kind again.
+
+"Look, Mom, we cleaned up our toys and fixed them. We are sorry for making a mess. We love you, Mom," Lila and Ben said, showing Mom their toys.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being responsible and creative.
+
+"Thank you, Lila and Ben. You did a good job. I love you, too. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. But remember, next time, don't make such a mess, okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will be more careful next time," Lila and Ben said.
+
+They went to the kitchen and had some cookies. They were happy and Mom was happy, too. They learned a lesson and had a good day.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play pretend. Today, they want to be cops and catch bad guys. They go to their room and dress in blue shirts and hats. They use their dad's belts and flashlights as tools.
+
+"Let's go, partner!" Tim says to Sam. "We have to find the robbers!"
+
+They run to the living room and look around. They see a messy pile of books and toys on the floor. They think it is a clue.
+
+"Look, partner!" Sam says to Tim. "The robbers left a mess here! They must be hiding somewhere!"
+
+They start to move the books and toys to find the robbers. They make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees the mess and the boys in their cop outfits. She is not happy.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing?" she asks. "You are making a big mess! You have to clean up!"
+
+Tim and Sam look at mom. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they say. "We were playing cops and catchers. We wanted to catch the bad guys."
+
+Mom smiles a little. She understands they were having fun.
+
+"Well, you can play cops and catchers later," she says. "But first, you have to clean up this mess. And then, you have to dress in your pajamas and get ready for bed."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They help mom clean up the mess. They put the books and toys back where they belong. They take off their cop clothes and dress in their pajamas. They hug mom and say good night.
+
+They go to their bed and dream of being cops and catchers. They are happy.
+Timmy liked to play with fire. He liked to see the bright colors and feel the warm air. He did not listen to his mommy when she told him to stay away from the candles. He thought he was very smart and brave.
+
+One day, when his mommy was busy in the kitchen, Timmy sneaked into the living room. He saw a big candle on the table. He climbed on a chair and reached for the candle. He wanted to touch the flame and see what it felt like.
+
+"Timmy, what are you doing?" his mommy shouted when she saw him. She ran to the living room and tried to grab the candle from him. But it was too late. Timmy had already touched the flame with his finger. He felt a sharp pain and dropped the candle. The candle fell on the floor and set the carpet on fire.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Timmy cried. He held his finger and looked at it. It was red and swollen. It hurt a lot. He was scared and sorry.
+
+His mommy quickly put out the fire with a blanket. She took Timmy to the bathroom and ran cold water over his finger. She wrapped a bandage around it and gave him a hug. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Timmy, you were very naughty and foolish. You could have burned yourself or the house. Fire is dangerous. You must never play with it again. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+Timmy nodded. He felt ashamed and sad. He wanted his finger to stop hurting. He wanted his mommy to forgive him.
+
+His mommy took him to the doctor. The doctor looked at his finger and said he had a bad burn. He said he needed to put some cream and a new bandage on it. He said Timmy had to be careful and not touch his finger or the bandage. He said it would take a long time to heal.
+
+Timmy did not like the doctor. He did not like the cream or the bandage. He did not like to be careful. He was impatient. He wanted his finger to be normal again. He wanted to play with his toys and his friends.
+
+But he could not. His finger hurt too much. His bandage was too big. His friends were too rough. He had to stay home and rest. He was bored and unhappy.
+
+He wished he had listened to his mommy. He wished he had never played with fire. He learned his lesson the hard way. He was sorry, but it was too late.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow. They jog up and down. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big tiger in the park. The tiger is orange and black. It has sharp teeth and claws. It looks hungry. Tom and Sam are scared.
+
+"Run, Sam, run!" Tom says. "The tiger will catch us!"
+
+"No, Tom, no!" Sam says. "We are smart. We can trick the tiger!"
+
+Sam sees a big rock. He picks it up and throws it at the tiger. The rock hits the tiger on the nose. The tiger roars and rubs its nose. It is angry.
+
+Tom sees a big tree. He climbs up the tree and shouts at the tiger. "Hey, tiger, you are silly! You can't catch us!"
+
+The tiger looks up and sees Tom. It jumps and tries to reach Tom. But the tree is too high. The tiger falls and hurts its paw. It is sad.
+
+Tom and Sam laugh and cheer. They are smart. They tricked the tiger. They jog away from the park. They are safe. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They shared their toys and had fun.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. It was brown and furry. It looked friendly, but it was not. It ran to Lily and Tom and tried to take their toys. It bit Lily's doll and Tom's car. It made them angry and scared.
+
+"Go away, bad dog!" Lily shouted. "You can't have our toys!"
+
+"Leave us alone, mean dog!" Tom yelled. "You are hurting our toys!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. It growled and barked. It wanted to bite Lily and Tom too. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then, they saw Sam. Sam was a policeman. He wore a blue uniform and a hat. He had a whistle and a badge. He was dependable. He always helped people in the park.
+
+Sam saw the dog and the children. He blew his whistle and ran to them. He grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it away. He gave Lily and Tom their toys back. He checked if they had any cuts. They did not. They were lucky.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" Sam asked. "That was a naughty dog. It should not bite you or your toys."
+
+"We are okay, thank you, Sam," Lily said. "You are very brave and kind. You saved us and our toys."
+
+"Yes, thank you, Sam," Tom said. "You are our hero. You stopped the dog."
+
+Sam smiled and hugged them. He was glad they were safe. He took the dog to the animal shelter. He hoped it would learn to be nice.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged their toys. They were happy they had each other. They were happy they had Sam. He was dependable. He was their friend.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. The dollhouse had many rooms, furniture, and dolls. It was a luxury toy that their grandma gave them for their birthday.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben decided to make the dollhouse more fun. They found some scissors and paper in their mom's craft box. They wanted to cut out some pictures and stick them on the walls of the dollhouse. They thought it would look pretty and colorful.
+
+They cut out some flowers, animals, stars, and hearts. They also cut out some scary faces, like monsters, ghosts, and witches. They thought it would be funny to scare the dolls. They stuck the pictures on the walls with tape. They were very proud of their work.
+
+They showed their mom what they did. Mom was not happy. She said, "What have you done? You cut out my nice paper and made a mess. You ruined the dollhouse. It looks scary and ugly. Grandma will be sad when she sees it. You have to take off the pictures and say sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to make mom and grandma sad. They took off the pictures and threw them away. They said sorry to mom and grandma. They hugged them and said they loved them. Mom and grandma forgave them. They said, "We love you too. But next time, ask before you cut anything. And don't make the dollhouse scary. It is a luxury toy, not a haunted house."
+Tim and Jen are playing with blocks. They make a big tower with many colors. They are happy and proud of their tower.
+
+But then, a black cat comes in the room. The cat sees the tower and jumps on it. The tower falls down and the blocks go everywhere. Tim and Jen are sad and angry.
+
+"Bad cat! Go away!" Tim shouts at the cat. The cat hisses and runs away.
+
+"Tim, let's make another tower," Jen says. She picks up some blocks and starts to build.
+
+"No, I don't want to," Tim says. He throws a block on the floor. "I quit. This is no fun."
+
+Jen looks at Tim and feels sorry. She knows he is upset. She has an idea.
+
+"Tim, look at this," she says. She holds up a block that has a picture of a star on it. "This is a wonder block. It can make anything you want. What do you want to make?"
+
+Tim looks at the block and his eyes light up. He forgets about the cat and the tower. He thinks of something he likes.
+
+"I want to make a rocket," he says. He takes the block from Jen and smiles. "Let's make a rocket together."
+
+Jen smiles too. She is happy that Tim is happy. She finds more blocks and joins Tim. They make a rocket with the wonder block and many other blocks. They pretend to fly to the moon and have fun. They are friends again.
+Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and animals with their blocks.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big wall with their blocks. They take turns to put one block on top of another. They try to make the wall as high and long as they can. They are very careful not to make the wall fall down.
+
+"Look, Mia," Ben says, "we can make a pattern with our blocks. See, I put a red block, then a blue block, then a yellow block, then a green block. Then I do the same again. Red, blue, yellow, green. Red, blue, yellow, green. It is a regular pattern. It looks nice."
+
+Mia nods. She likes the pattern too. She tries to copy Ben's pattern with her blocks. She puts a red block, then a blue block, then a yellow block, then a green block. Then she does the same again. Red, blue, yellow, green. Red, blue, yellow, green. She smiles.
+
+They stare at their wall. They are proud of their work. They think their wall is the best wall ever. They hug each other and clap their hands. They are happy.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They can make many things with blocks. They can make houses, cars, bridges and towers.
+
+One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys. They see dolls, cars, puzzles and books. But they only want blocks. They see a big box of blocks. It has many colors and shapes. They want to buy the box of blocks.
+
+They ask their moms, "Can we buy the box of blocks, please?"
+
+Their moms look at the price. It is too much. They say, "Sorry, kids. The box of blocks is too expensive. We can't buy it today. Maybe another day."
+
+Lily and Sam are sad. They really want the box of blocks. They think of all the things they can make with it. They think of the big tower they can build.
+
+They see a man in the toy store. He works there. He sees Lily and Sam. He smiles. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you like the box of blocks?"
+
+Lily and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we like it. But we can't buy it. It is too much."
+
+The man says, "I have an idea. How about you help me with something? I need to put some toys on the shelves. If you help me, I will give you a discount on the box of blocks. Then you can buy it for less."
+
+Lily and Sam are happy. They say, "Yes, we will help you. Thank you, mister."
+
+They help the man with the toys. They are good helpers. They put the toys on the shelves. They are careful and neat. The man is happy. He says, "You are very good helpers. You did a great job. Now you can buy the box of blocks for half the price. Here you go."
+
+He gives them the box of blocks. Lily and Sam are very happy. They say, "Thank you, thank you, mister. You are very nice. We can't wait to play with the blocks."
+
+They hug the man. They hug their moms. They go home with the box of blocks. They make a big tower with the blocks. It is the best tower ever. They are very proud. They say, "We love our blocks. We love our tower. We love our moms. And we love the nice man in the toy store."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and make mud pies. They are very dirty, but they are happy.
+
+"Look, I made a big mud pie for you!" Sara says to Ben. She puts the pie on a leaf and gives it to him.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. It looks yummy!" Ben says. He pretends to eat the pie and makes a funny face.
+
+But then they hear their mom calling them. "Sara, Ben, time to come inside and get ready for dinner! You need to wash your hands and face!"
+
+Sara and Ben do not want to go inside. They want to play more. They look at each other and have an idea.
+
+"Let's escape!" Sara whispers to Ben. "We can hide behind the bushes and mom won't see us!"
+
+"OK, let's go!" Ben whispers back. They grab their mud pies and run to the bushes. They think they are very clever.
+
+But mom is not fooled. She knows where they are. She walks to the bushes and sees them. She smiles and shakes her head.
+
+"Sara, Ben, I can see you!" she says. "You can't escape from me. Come on, let's go inside and wipe the mud off. You need to be clean and healthy for dinner!"
+
+Sara and Ben sigh. They know mom is right. They give their mud pies to the birds and follow mom inside. They wipe the mud off with a wet cloth and wash their hands and face with soap and water. They feel fresh and hungry.
+
+"Mom, what's for dinner?" Sara asks.
+
+"Something healthy and yummy. You'll see!" mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben wonder what it is. They hope it is not mud pie.
+Anna liked to play with her toys in the garden. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a teddy bear. She made them talk to each other and have fun. One day, she saw a spider on a flower. She was not scared of spiders. She wanted to say hello to the spider.
+
+"Hi, spider!" she said. "Do you want to play with me and my toys?"
+
+But the spider did not answer. It did not move. It did not look at her.
+
+"Spider, can you hear me?" she asked. "Are you deaf?"
+
+But the spider still did not answer. It did not move. It did not look at her.
+
+Anna was sad. She thought the spider did not like her. She picked up her doll and said, "Doll, why is the spider so quiet? Does it not want to be my friend?"
+
+The doll did not answer either. It was just a toy. But Anna pretended it said, "Maybe the spider is busy. Maybe it has other things to do. Maybe it will talk to you later."
+
+Anna nodded. She hoped the doll was right. She put the doll down and looked at the spider again. She wanted to try one more time.
+
+"Spider, please talk to me!" she said. "I have a ball, a car and a teddy bear. We can share them and have fun. Please, please, please!"
+
+But the spider did not answer. It did not move. It did not look at her.
+
+Anna felt angry. She thought the spider was rude. She picked up a stick and said, "Spider, if you do not talk to me, I will poke you with this stick!"
+
+But the spider did not answer. It did not move. It did not look at her.
+
+Anna raised the stick and swung it at the spider. But the spider was fast. It jumped off the flower and ran away. It vanished into the grass.
+
+Anna gasped. She dropped the stick and said, "Spider, where are you? Come back!"
+
+But the spider did not answer. It did not come back. It was gone.
+
+Anna felt sorry. She thought she had scared the spider. She wished she had been nicer to it. She said, "Spider, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to play with you. Please, please, please, come back!"
+
+But the spider did not answer. It did not come back. It was gone.
+Lily and Ben like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper, on boxes, on rocks. Sometimes they paint on the wall, but Mommy says no.
+
+One day, they see a big sign on the street. The sign says "Garage Sale". It has many pictures of things to sell. Lily and Ben want to make their own sign. They ask Mommy for a big paper and some paint.
+
+"Can we make a sign, Mommy?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, you can make a sign. What do you want to sell?" Mommy says.
+
+"We want to sell our old toys and books. And some cookies!" Ben says.
+
+"Okay, that sounds good. But be careful with the paint. Don't spill it or make a mess." Mommy says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They take the paper and the paint to the backyard. They put the paper on the grass. They dip their brushes in the paint. They start to write and draw on the paper.
+
+Lily writes "Garage Sale" in big letters. She uses red and blue paint. Ben draws some toys and books. He uses yellow and green paint. They also draw some cookies with brown paint. They are very happy with their sign.
+
+They show their sign to Mommy. Mommy smiles and says "Wow, what a nice sign! You did a great job. But you have some paint on your faces and hands. Let's go wash them."
+
+Lily and Ben follow Mommy to the bathroom. They wash their faces and hands with soap and water. They dry them with a towel. They are ready to put their sign on the street.
+
+They carry their sign to the front of the house. They find a good spot to hang it. They use some tape and string. They hope many people will see their sign and come to their garage sale. They are very proud of their sign. They say "We love to paint!"
+Anna liked to play with her toys, but sometimes she made a big mess. Her mom told her to put her toys back in the drawer when she was done, but Anna did not listen. She left her toys on the floor, on the bed, and on the table.
+
+One day, her mom came into her room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Anna, you have to clean up your room. You have too many toys and they are everywhere. You have to be obedient and do what I say."
+
+Anna did not want to clean up. She wanted to relax and watch TV. She said, "But mom, I am tired. I want to relax. Can I watch TV first?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, you cannot watch TV until you clean up your room. You have to be responsible and take care of your things. If you clean up your room, then you can watch TV and relax. But if you don't, you will have no TV and no toys."
+
+Anna did not like that. She did not want to lose her toys or her TV. She decided to be obedient and do what her mom said. She picked up her toys and put them back in the drawer. She made her bed and cleared the table. She worked hard and fast.
+
+When she was done, her mom came back and saw her room. She was proud of Anna. She said, "Good job, Anna. You cleaned up your room very well. You are a very obedient and smart girl. Now you can watch TV and relax. I love you."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. I am sorry I made a mess. I will try to be more obedient and clean up my room every day."
+
+Her mom said, "That's very good, Anna. I am glad you learned your lesson. Now let's go and watch TV and relax together."
+
+They went to the living room and watched TV and relaxed. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily cuts a big circle and a small triangle. She puts the triangle on the circle and says, "Look, I made a hat!"
+
+Tom cuts a long strip and a small square. He puts the square on the tip of the strip and says, "Look, I made a flag!"
+
+Lily and Tom want to show their pictures to Mom. They run to the kitchen, where Mom is making a cake. They hold up their pictures and say, "Mom, look what we made!"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Wow, you are very creative! I like your hat and your flag. But be careful with the scissors, they are sharp. And don't cut anything else, okay?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod and say, "Okay, Mom." They go back to the living room, where they have more paper and scissors. They want to make more pictures.
+
+But then, Tom sees Lily's hat. He likes it more than his flag. He says, "Lily, can I have your hat? It is so pretty."
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, it is mine. I made it. You have your flag. It is nice, too."
+
+Tom says, "But I want your hat. It is better than my flag. Give it to me."
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, you can't have it. It is not fair. Go away."
+
+Tom gets angry. He grabs Lily's hat and tries to pull it. Lily holds on to her hat and tries to push him. They fight over the hat. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Lily and Tom fighting over the hat. She says, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Tom stop and look at Mom. They are both sad and sorry. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to share, but we couldn't."
+
+Mom says, "It is okay to want something, but it is not okay to take it without asking. And it is not okay to fight over it. You have to respect each other and your things. You have to ask nicely and wait for an answer. And you have to accept it if the answer is no. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod and say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry."
+
+Mom says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you have to forgive each other, too. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They say, "Yes, Mom, we can do that. We are sorry, too."
+
+They hug each other and say, "I forgive you. I love you."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I love you, too. Now, why don't you make a new picture together? You can use both the hat and the flag. And you can use some of the cake decorations, too. They are colorful and shiny. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Yes, Mom, we want to try. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They take the paper, the scissors, the hat, the flag, and the cake decorations. They sit on the floor and start to make a new picture. They share and help each other. They have fun and laugh.
+
+Mom watches them and says, "That's better. You are good children. I am proud of you."
+Sara liked to sleep with her pattern blanket. It had many colors and shapes that made her happy. She hugged it every night and dreamed of fun things.
+
+But one night, her blanket was gone. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and in the laundry. She could not find it anywhere. She felt sad and scared. She did not want to sleep without her blanket.
+
+She went to her mom and dad and asked them for help. They were frustrated. They had a lot of work to do and they were tired. They told Sara to stop crying and go to bed. They said they would look for her blanket tomorrow.
+
+Sara did not like their answer. She felt angry and lonely. She went back to her room and lay on her bed. She could not sleep. She missed her blanket. She wished it would come back.
+
+She heard a noise outside her window. She got up and looked. She saw a big, fluffy dog. It had something in its mouth. It was her pattern blanket! The dog had taken it from the clothesline and ran away with it.
+
+Sara opened her window and called the dog. The dog came to her and wagged its tail. It dropped her blanket on the floor. Sara picked it up and thanked the dog. She gave it a hug and a cookie. The dog licked her face and barked.
+
+Sara felt happy and relieved. She had her blanket back. She wrapped it around her and went to bed. The dog stayed with her and kept her warm. She fell asleep with a smile. She dreamed of the dog and her blanket. They were her new friends.
+Lila and Ben are friends who like to play at school. They have many toys and books to share. But one day, they have a big fight. Lila wants to use the folder that Ben has. The folder is red and shiny and has stickers on it. Ben says no, it is his folder and he needs it for his drawings. Lila gets angry and tries to grab the folder from Ben. Ben pulls it back and shouts at Lila. Lila strikes Ben on the arm and makes him cry. Ben strikes Lila on the face and makes her cry too.
+
+The teacher hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lila and Ben crying and holding the folder. She asks them what happened and why they are fighting. Lila and Ben tell her their stories and blame each other. The teacher looks at the folder and opens it. She sees that it is empty. There are no drawings or papers inside. She shows it to Lila and Ben and says:
+
+"Look, this folder is empty. There is nothing in it. Why are you fighting over something that has nothing? You hurt each other and broke your friendship for nothing. That is very silly and wrong. You should be sorry and say sorry to each other. You should also share your things and play nicely. That is what good friends do. Do you understand?"
+
+Lila and Ben look at the empty folder and feel ashamed. They realize that they were foolish and mean. They nod and say sorry to the teacher. They also say sorry to each other and hug. They give the folder back to Ben and decide to share it. They also share their toys and books and play happily. They learn that fighting over nothing is not worth it and that sharing and caring is better. They are friends again and the teacher is proud of them.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the lake with their kayak. Their mom tells them to be careful and not go too far. She worries about them.
+
+One day, they see a big fish in the water. It is shiny and has a long tail. They want to get closer and see it better. They paddle their kayak towards the fish. They do not see the rocks ahead.
+
+The fish swims away. The kayak hits the rocks. It makes a loud noise and a hole. Water comes in the kayak. Tim and Sam are scared. They cry for help.
+
+Their mom hears them. She runs to the lake. She sees their kayak sinking. She jumps in the water and swims to them. She grabs them and pulls them to the shore. She hugs them and kisses them. She is glad they are safe.
+
+She gives them a towel and a sweet. She tells them they were very brave, but also very silly. They should listen to her and not go too far. They say they are sorry and they love her. They promise to be more careful next time. They do not want to worry her again.

+
+One day, Sara wants to play with Ben's car. She asks him, "Can I have your car?"
+
+Ben says, "No, this is my car. You have your bus."
+
+Sara says, "But I want to try your car. It is fair to share."
+
+Ben says, "No, it is not fair. You always have your bus. It is big and nice. My car is small and old. You can't have it."
+
+Sara gets angry. She grabs Ben's car and runs away. Ben chases her and shouts, "Give me back my car! It belongs to me!"
+
+They run around the house. They bump into their mom. Their mom sees them fighting. She is not happy.
+
+She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a toy?"
+
+Sara and Ben tell their mom what happened. Their mom says, "Sara, you can't take Ben's car without asking. That is not nice. Ben, you can't be selfish. You should share your toys with your sister. That is kind."
+
+She makes them give back their toys. She says, "Now, why don't you play together with both the bus and the car? You can take turns and have fun. You are twins. You belong to each other."
+
+Sara and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug and smile. They play together with the bus and the car. They are happy. Their mom is happy too.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck and Mia has a doll. Tom likes to make loud noises with his truck and pretend it is crashing into things. Mia likes to dress up her doll and talk to it.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, crash!" Tom says, as he drives his truck into Mia's doll. "Your doll is in trouble, Mia! She needs help!"
+
+"Hey, stop it, Tom!" Mia says, as she picks up her doll. "You are hurting my doll! She is not a toy for your truck!"
+
+Tom laughs and pokes Mia's doll with his finger. "Poke, poke, poke! Your doll is silly, Mia! She does not feel anything!"
+
+Mia gets angry and pokes Tom back. "Poke, poke, poke! You are silly, Tom! You are mean to my doll!"
+
+Tom and Mia start to poke each other harder and harder. They poke each other's faces, arms, legs, and bellies. They poke so hard that they start to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Stop poking me, Mia!" Tom says, as he rubs his eyes.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Stop poking me, Tom!" Mia says, as she holds her stomach.
+
+Mom hears their cries and runs into the living room. She sees Tom and Mia poking each other and crying. She is worried and angry.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom says, as she picks up Tom and Mia. "Why are you poking each other? This is not a game! This is an emergency!"
+
+Tom and Mia stop poking and look at Mom. They are scared and sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Tom and Mia say, as they hug Mom. "We were playing with our toys and we got mad. We did not mean to poke each other so hard."
+
+Mom hugs Tom and Mia back. She is glad they are sorry, but she is still upset.
+
+"You should not poke each other, ever," Mom says, as she checks their faces, arms, legs, and bellies. "Poking can hurt and make you cry. Poking can also make you sick or bleed. Poking is not fun. Poking is bad."
+
+Tom and Mia nod and say, "We know, Mom. We will not poke each other again. We will be nice to each other and to our toys."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's good, Tom and Mia. I love you both. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some juice and cookies. But first, wash your hands. You don't want to poke your mouth with dirty fingers."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Okay, Mom. We love you too." They run to the bathroom and wash their hands. Then they go to the kitchen and have some juice and cookies. They eat and drink fast, because they are hungry and thirsty. They also talk and laugh fast, because they are happy and sorry. They do not poke each other anymore. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Ben said. "A reindeer!"
+
+Lily saw a big brown animal with horns and a furry coat. It was walking in the woods near their house. It looked at them with big black eyes.
+
+"Wow, Ben, wow!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and they ran towards the reindeer. They wanted to pet it and feed it some grass.
+
+The reindeer saw them coming. It did not like children. It thought they were noisy and scary. It did not want them to touch it or bother it. It snorted and stamped its hooves.
+
+"Hi, reindeer, hi!" Ben said. He reached out his hand with some grass. He wanted to offer it to the reindeer.
+
+But the reindeer did not want the grass. It wanted to be left alone. It lowered its horns and charged at Ben. It hit him hard with its horns and knocked him down. Ben cried out in pain.
+
+"Ben, Ben!" Lily screamed. She ran to help him. But the reindeer was not done. It turned around and kicked Lily hard with its legs. Lily fell to the ground. She cried out in pain too.
+
+The reindeer ran away. It did not care about the children. It only cared about itself.
+
+Lily and Ben lay in the snow. They were hurt and cold and scared. They wished they had never seen the reindeer. They wished they had stayed with their snowman. They wished someone would come and help them. But no one came. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a butterfly with many colors on its wings. It flew from flower to flower.
+
+"Look, a butterfly!" Anna said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. "Do you know what it is called?"
+
+Anna shook her head. She did not know the name of the butterfly.
+
+Ben smiled. He was older than Anna and he liked to learn new things. He said, "It is called a monarch butterfly. It is very intelligent. It can remember where to go when it is cold."
+
+"Really?" Anna asked. She was curious. "Where does it go?"
+
+Ben said, "It goes to a place far away, where it is warm. It flies with many other butterflies. They make a big group in the sky. It is amazing!"
+
+Anna nodded. She thought that was amazing too. She wanted to see the big group of butterflies someday.
+
+They watched the butterfly for a while. Then it flew away. Anna and Ben waved goodbye to it.
+
+"Maybe we will see it again next year," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe," Anna said. "I will remember it."
+Tom and Mia are friends who like to draw. They have many crayons and papers to make pictures. One day, they decide to design an elephant. They look at a book with photos of elephants and try to copy them.
+
+Tom draws a big gray body, four legs, a long nose and two ears. He is happy with his elephant. Mia draws a small pink body, two legs, a curly tail and a horn. She is happy with her elephant too.
+
+They show each other their elephants and start to laugh. "That is not an elephant!" Tom says. "Elephants are big and gray, not small and pink. And they do not have horns or tails like that."
+
+"That is not an elephant either!" Mia says. "Elephants are small and pink, not big and gray. And they have horns and tails like that."
+
+They argue and get angry. They do not want to be friends anymore. They tear their papers and throw their crayons.
+
+A teacher sees them and comes to talk to them. She asks them why they are fighting. They tell her about their elephants and how they are different. The teacher smiles and says, "You both have good imaginations. You can design your own elephants however you like. There is no right or wrong way to draw an elephant. But you should be honest and respectful of each other's ideas. You can learn from each other and have fun together. That is what friends do."
+
+Tom and Mia feel sorry for being mean. They apologize and hug each other. They pick up their papers and crayons and start to draw again. They make new elephants that are different and beautiful. They share their crayons and papers and help each other. They are happy and proud of their designs. They are honest and kind friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with red and blue feathers. Lily wanted to take a picture of the bird. She had a camera that her dad gave her. But she had to keep it hidden from her mom. Her mom did not like Lily to play with the camera. She said it was too expensive and fragile.
+
+Lily took the camera out of her backpack. She was very careful. She pointed it at the bird. She pressed the button. The camera made a click sound. The bird flew away.
+
+"Did you get it?" Ben asked.
+
+"I think so," Lily said. She looked at the screen. She saw the bird. It was very pretty. She smiled.
+
+"Let me see," Ben said. He moved closer to Lily.
+
+"Shh, be quiet," Lily said. "We have to hide the camera. Mom is coming."
+
+Lily put the camera back in her backpack. She zipped it up. She pretended to play with a ball. Ben did the same.
+
+"Hi, kids," Mom said. "Are you having fun?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom did not see the camera. She did not know Lily's secret. Lily was happy. She had a picture of the bird. She wanted to show it to her dad. She hoped he would be proud of her.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they pretended to be animals or superheroes.
+
+"Look, Lily, a helicopter!" Tom shouted, pointing to the sky. He saw a big flying thing with a spinning thing on top. It made a loud noise and flew over the trees.
+
+"Wow, Tom, it's so cool!" Lily said, looking up. She wondered what it was doing and where it was going. She wanted to fly in a helicopter someday.
+
+Suddenly, the helicopter stopped in the air and lowered a rope. A man came down the rope and landed near Tom and Lily. He was wearing a uniform and a helmet. He had a badge and a walkie-talkie.
+
+"Hello, kids, I'm Officer Dave. I'm here to help you. There's a bad man in the park and he's trying to hide. We need you to freeze and stay where you are. Don't move or make noise. Can you do that for me?" he said, smiling.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were scared but also curious. They wanted to see the bad man and what Officer Dave would do. They held hands and froze like statues.
+
+Officer Dave talked to his walkie-talkie and looked around. He saw the bad man behind a bush. He ran towards him and caught him. He put handcuffs on him and dragged him to the helicopter. He waved to Tom and Lily and said, "Thank you, kids, you were very brave and helpful. You're lucky I saw you from the helicopter. You can go back to playing now. Have a nice day!"
+
+Tom and Lily waved back and cheered. They were happy that Officer Dave caught the bad man and that they were safe. They thought he was very cool and strong. They went back to playing with their ball and pretended to be helicopter pilots. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play hide and seek in the house. One day, they decide to play in the kitchen. Anna counts to ten and then looks for Ben.
+
+She sees a big jar on the counter. She thinks Ben is hiding inside. She climbs on a chair and opens the jar. She peeks inside and sees a lot of green things. They smell bad. She says, "Ben, are you in here?"
+
+But Ben is not in here. He is hiding under the table. He hears Anna and laughs. He says, "No, Anna, I am not in there. Those are pickles. They are sour. You do not like them."
+
+Anna is curious. She wants to try a pickle. She takes one out of the jar and bites it. She makes a face. She does not like it at all. It is too sour. She spits it out and cries.
+
+She drops the jar and it breaks. The pickles and the juice spill on the floor. Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and gets angry. She says, "Anna, what did you do? You made a big mess. You are in trouble. And Ben, why did you not stop her? You are in trouble too."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They have to clean up the mess and say sorry to Mom. They do not want to play hide and seek anymore. They have a bad day.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys in the garden. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the garden. His name is Tom. He sees Lily's doll and Ben's car. He wants to play with them. He asks Lily and Ben if he can join them.
+
+Lily and Ben say yes. They are nice and want to make a new friend. They give Tom their toys and show him how to play. Tom smiles and says thank you.
+
+But Tom is not a good boy. He does not share the toys. He keeps them for himself. He does not play nicely. He throws the doll and the car in the mud. He makes them dirty.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want their toys back. They ask Tom to give them back. Tom says no. He says they are his toys now. He says he found them in the garden. He says he is telling the truth.
+
+Lily and Ben know he is lying. They say he is not telling the truth. They say he took their toys. They say he made them dirty. They say he is a bad boy.
+
+Tom does not listen. He laughs and runs away with the toys. He thinks he is clever and smart.
+
+Lily and Ben cry and hug each other. They do not like Tom. They do not want to play with him. They want their toys back. They want them clean.
+
+They go to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad are sorry and angry. They say they will help them. They say they will find Tom and get their toys back. They say they will make them clean. They say they love them.
+
+Lily and Ben feel better. They hug their mom and dad. They say they love them too. They hope they will get their toys back soon. They hope they will meet a nice boy to play with. They hope Tom will learn to be nice too.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a mouse. The mouse was not a real mouse, but a soft toy that squeaked when she squeezed it. Lily loved her mouse very much and carried it everywhere.
+
+One day, Lily and her mouse went to the park with her mom. They saw many things: flowers, birds, dogs and children. Lily wanted to play with the other children, so she put her mouse on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and climbing up again.
+
+But when she came back to the bench, her mouse was gone. Lily looked around and saw a big boy holding her mouse. He was pulling its tail and ears and making it squeak. Lily felt angry and sad. She ran to the boy and said, "Give me my mouse! That is my mouse! You are hurting it!"
+
+The boy laughed and said, "No, this is my mouse now. It is a funny mouse. I like it. Go away, little girl!" He pushed Lily away and ran to the swings with her mouse.
+
+Lily cried and ran to her mom. She told her what happened and pointed to the boy. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will get your mouse back. That boy is not nice. He should not take things that are not his and hurt them."
+
+Her mom walked to the boy and said, "Excuse me, young man. That mouse you have belongs to my daughter. She is very upset. Please give it back to her." The boy looked at her mom and saw that she was serious. He felt scared and ashamed. He said, "Sorry, ma'am. Here is the mouse. I was just playing with it." He handed the mouse to her mom and ran away.
+
+Her mom gave the mouse to Lily and said, "Here you go, sweetie. Your mouse is back. Are you happy now?" Lily smiled and hugged her mouse. She said, "Thank you, mom. I am happy. I love you and I love my mouse." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your mouse. He is a brave mouse. Let's go home and give him a treat." Lily nodded and carried her mouse home. She was happy.
+Tom is a tall boy who likes to play with his toys. He has many cars, trains and planes that he can zoom around his room. He also has a friend, Lily, who lives next door. Lily likes to play with dolls, books and puzzles. Sometimes, Tom and Lily play together and share their toys.
+
+One day, Tom is feeling sick. He has a sore throat and a cough. His mom gives him some medicine, but he does not like it. It tastes bad and makes him feel funny. He does not want to play with his toys or watch TV. He just wants to lie in his bed and sleep.
+
+Lily knocks on his door and asks his mom if she can play with Tom. His mom says that Tom is sick and needs to rest. She says that Lily can invite Tom to play when he feels better. Lily is sad. She likes Tom and wants to make him happy. She thinks of an idea.
+
+She goes to her room and finds a card and some crayons. She draws a picture of Tom and her playing with their toys. She writes "Get well soon, Tom. I invite you to play with me when you are better. Your friend, Lily." She puts the card in an envelope and sticks a sticker on it. She goes back to Tom's door and gives the card to his mom. She asks her to give it to Tom when he wakes up.
+
+Tom's mom thanks Lily and takes the card. She goes to Tom's room and sees that he is sleeping. She puts the card on his nightstand and smiles. She hopes that Tom will feel better soon and that he will like Lily's card. She thinks that Lily is a very nice and thoughtful friend. She is glad that Tom and Lily have each other.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to decorate things. They liked to use paint, stickers, glitter and ribbons to make everything look pretty. One day, their mom gave them a big cardboard box and said they could decorate it however they wanted. She said she had to go to the store and would be back soon.
+
+Anna and Ben were very enthusiastic and started to decorate the box right away. They painted it with different colors, put stickers of animals and stars on it, sprinkled glitter all over it and tied ribbons around it. They thought it looked like a beautiful castle. They decided to play inside the box and pretend they were a princess and a prince.
+
+But they did not notice that they had made a big mess. They had spilled paint on the floor, dropped stickers on the couch, scattered glitter on the table and tangled ribbons on the lamp. They also did not hear their mom come back from the store. She walked into the living room and saw the chaos. She was very angry and said:
+
+"Anna and Ben, what have you done? You have made a huge trouble! You have ruined the floor, the couch, the table and the lamp! How could you be so careless and messy? You have to clean up everything right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been too excited and forgot to be careful and tidy. They said:
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We just wanted to decorate the box and have fun. We did not mean to make a trouble. We will clean up everything, we promise."
+
+Their mom sighed and said:
+
+"I know you like to decorate things, but you have to respect the house and the furniture. You have to be responsible and respectful. Next time, you have to ask me before you use anything and you have to put everything back where it belongs. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said:
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand. We will be more responsible and respectful. We love you, mom."
+
+They hugged their mom and then started to clean up the mess. They learned their lesson and never made such a trouble again. They still liked to decorate things, but they did it with more care and respect.
+Sara and Ben wanted to see a movie at the theater. They liked different movies. Sara liked movies with princesses and songs. Ben liked movies with cars and robots. They disagreed a lot.
+
+"Let's see the princess movie!" Sara said.
+
+"No, let's see the robot movie!" Ben said.
+
+They argued and argued. They did not listen to each other. They did not say sorry. They made a lot of noise.
+
+The lady at the theater was angry. She did not like the noise. She came to Sara and Ben. She said, "You are being very rude. You have to leave the theater now. You cannot see any movie."
+
+Sara and Ben felt guilty. They knew they were wrong. They wanted to see a movie. They wanted to have fun. But they were too late. They had to go home. They were sad and sorry. They had a bad day.
+Lily liked to drive her toy car. It was gray and shiny and had four big wheels. She drove it around the house and made vroom-vroom noises. She pretended she was going to the park, the zoo, or the beach.
+
+One day, she saw a new boy in her street. He had a red bike and a blue helmet. He rode his bike very fast and did tricks. Lily wanted to play with him. She thought he was popular and cool.
+
+She drove her toy car to his house and knocked on his door. He came out and looked at her. "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?" she asked.
+
+He looked at her toy car and laughed. "That's not a real car. That's a baby toy. You can't drive that. You need a bike like mine. Bikes are better than cars. Cars are slow and boring." He said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her toy car. It was not a baby toy. It was fun and fast. She wanted to show him. She said, "No, cars are better than bikes. Bikes are hard and dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself. Cars are safe and smooth. You can go anywhere with them."
+
+They argued for a while. They did not want to play with each other. They wanted to prove who was right. They decided to have a race. They would go from his house to the big tree at the end of the street. Whoever got there first would win.
+
+They got ready and counted to three. They started to move. Lily drove her toy car as fast as she could. She made vroom-vroom noises louder than ever. He rode his bike as fast as he could. He did tricks and shouted.
+
+They were almost at the big tree. They were very close. They did not see the big dog that ran out of the gate. It barked and chased them. It wanted to play too.
+
+Lily saw the dog and got scared. She stopped her toy car and screamed. He saw the dog and got scared too. He lost his balance and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and cried.
+
+The dog licked them and wagged its tail. It was friendly and happy. It did not mean to scare them. It just wanted to join the race.
+
+Lily and he looked at each other. They felt sorry and silly. They realized they were both wrong. Cars and bikes were both good. They could both drive and have fun. They did not need to fight or race. They could be friends and play together.
